Skip to comments.Frist Joins Boy Scouts To Call For Passage Of Scouts Act
Posted on 12/26/2005 11:20:10 AM PST by Coleus
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D. (R-TN) today praised the pending passage of the Support Our Scouts Act of 2005, which is included in the Department of Defense Authorization bill and the Defense Appropriations bill.
Sen. Frist authored the legislation, which was co-sponsored by over 50 other senators, "to ensure that the Boy Scouts of America receives equal access to public facilities, programs, and forums and that the Defense Department will continue its support of Scouts and their Jamborees."
The passage of this legislation is a victory for the Boy Scouts of America and the many other organizations that promote the development of our nations young people, said Frist. This legislation acknowledges the critical role that the Boy Scouts of America plays in the development of our nations youth and the importance of that role to the future of our country."
Frist added, The Boy Scouts of America is a unique American organization that teaches our youth the importance of honesty, integrity and character. This legislation ensures that the Scouts are treated fairly by guaranteeing them equal access to public facilities, programs, and forums. It also enables the Scouts to continue their public service without the distraction of frivolous and spiteful lawsuits. Im pleased that this integral Scouting tradition will be protected as they continue their noble efforts to mold the hearts and minds of the next generation of Americas leaders."
For nearly a century the Boy Scouts have helped mold future generations of young Americans by preparing them to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes, said Roy Williams, Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America. Too often in recent years the Boy Scouts has faced legal assaults by those who would deny it the same relationship with government as other youth and community organizations. This legislation will help put an end to these senseless attacks and allow the Boy Scouts to continue its vital mission of character development and values-based leadership training. We appreciate Sen. Frists authorship of this legislation and encourage swift passage of the Support Our Scouts Act of 2005.
Exclusion from government forums and facilities is the greatest legal challenge facing the Boy Scouts today, the Frist office said. In recent years, the Boy Scouts organization "has been under a legal assault by those who would deny it the same relationship with government as other youth and community organizations," it was stated.
The Support Our Scouts Act of 2005 guarantees the Boy Scouts right to equal access. The legislation removes any doubt that federal, state, and local agencies may welcome Scouts to hold meetings and go camping on public property by making clear that the Congress considers the Scouts a youth organization, Sen. Frist said.
The act also clarifies that federal agencies cannot provide less support to the Scouts than the agency has in the past, except under certain special circumstances, it was stated.
High praise for Senator Frist. High scorn for the ACLU who side with lawsuits against the Boy Scouts of America but support NAMBLA. The ACLU says they know what is best for our young people, give me a break!
This is a good move by Dr. Frist, and I hope he pursues this and does not bow out when the sledding gets too icy from his many liberal colleagues in both parties.
Many Boy Scouts are our future soldiers of America. Where else would they put it?
revulsion and fear are 2 different emotions. These loonies on the left should sort this out a little better.
Sorry but the ACLU is funded by taxpayers! Frist and the Republican'ts haven't done 1 damn thing to stop their funding. Kill thier funding and you kill thier lawsuits!
Same thing with tons of leftist lawsuits. They collect attorney fees via government funding or under a private attorney general theory with the collaboration of leftist judges. The dirty little secret is that much of pro bono work isn't really pro bono.
Not one damn lawmaker on either side of the aisle has done anything to stop the funding of the ACLU, but at least a lot of republicans are trying to limit some of the atrocities supported by them!
Umm no the ACLU is not. You are confusing it with the Government Program that makes Lawyers available to Welfare Recipients and other poor people. Cannot remember the name of it right now. Anyone help us out?
The ACLU (AKA America's Communist Lawyers Union) is funded by private money. See below from their website. The ACLU was founded by Roger Baldwin, Crystal Eastman, Albert DeSilver and others in 1920. We are nonprofit and nonpartisan and have grown from a roomful of civil liberties activists to an organization of more than 400,000 members and supporters. We handle nearly 6,000 court cases annually from our offices in almost every state.
The ACLU has maintained the position that civil liberties must be respected, even in times of national emergency. The ACLU is supported by annual dues and contributions from its members, plus grants from private foundations and individuals. We do not receive any government funding. Learn more about joining the ACLU.
You are confusing that Goverment Legal Assistance organization and the ACLU. ACLU gets no Tax money.
ACLU is not funded with tax payer money.
It was my understanding that the ACLU is not funded entirely with taxpayer money but it does recieve some federal funds.
Wrong organization. That is that Goverement Legal Agency, not the ACLU
"The ACLU (AKA America's Communist Lawyers Union) is funded by private money."
Not true. Read the law and look at the letters the ACLU sends to cities, stats or anyone else they sue. They get paid from tax money, does not matter if the win or lose.
The law says that they can collect for bringing a suit for civil rights and it does not matter if they win or lose.
Unless you are claiming that because the cost of the Damages awarded to a Plaintiff are used to cover the ACLU costs for representing them as "Taxpayer money"? Sorry those costs are paid no matter WHO represents the winner. Claiming that as "Taxpayer money" going to the ACLU is incredibly, incredibility intellectually dishonest. EVEN if the Congress passed a law banning such awards to the ACLU it would be an Unconstitutional imposition of Congressional Authority on the Judiciary. Sorry but you are just wrong all the way around on this.
Its the ACLU!
While the ACLU is not explicitly mentioned in the text of the law, because it is considered a civil rights group (albeit as a misnomer), it is entitled to receive public funds.
Click Here for 42 USC s.1988
Title 42, Chapter 21, Subchapter I, Section 1988 is the mothers milk of the United States Code for the ACLU. It authorizes the payment of attorneys fees in cases involving civil rights. Sounds harmless enough, right? Sorry, bucko, it turns out that you are paying the ACLUs invoice every time they launch another lawsuit. Are you happy to pay the ACLU $700,000 to kick the Boy Scouts out of a San Diego park, $500,000 to get those awful ten commandments out of Judge Roy Moores courthouse, and millions to prosecute every creche and cross and star of David on public property
Or you can search the USC.
Any Freeper Legal Eagles around? Can you explain the legal point on this thread for me? Need someone a lot more knowledgeable on the Judiciary and how the Courts work since it seems fairly obvious my point is being misunderstood or ignored. Our side sounds nuts when it goes on these Tin Foil Hat rants about the ACLU. The ACLU needs to be destroyed but this sort of "Taxpayer funding for the ACLU" nonsense discredits the legitimate arguments against the ACLU made by the Right
You're missing something?!?
What 'Title' of the USC (US CODE) is this section '1988' under?? (Like Title 1 or Title 18, etc.) because I'd really like to read it.
thanks :-)
The only complaint I would have is that it's too specific. If the senator wants to pass a law saying that the Boy Scouts, as a private organization, have the right to exclude whom they want from membership and still be able to receive certain kinds of government assistance without having to comply with anti-discriminiation laws, then they should also extend that same protection to other private organizations. Otherwise I think it'll be open to legal challenge.
Boy, I opened a can of worms with that one, didn't I?
It's about freaking time!
42 USC s.1988
§ 1988. Proceedings in vindication of civil rights
(b) Attorneys fees
In any action or proceeding to enforce a provision of sections 1981, 1981a, 1982, 1983, 1985, and 1986 of this title, title IX of Public Law 92318 [20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.], the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 [42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.], the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 [42 U.S.C. 2000cc et seq.], title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.], or section 13981 of this title, the court, in its discretion, may allow the prevailing party, other than the United States, a reasonable attorneys fee as part of the costs, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officers judicial capacity such officer shall not be held liable for any costs, including attorneys fees, unless such action was clearly in excess of such officers jurisdiction.
(c) Expert fees In awarding an attorneys fee under subsection (b) of this section in any action or proceeding to enforce a provision of section 1981 or 1981a of this title, the court, in its discretion, may include expert fees as part of the attorneys fee.
Many Boy Scouts are our future soldiers of America. Where else would they put it? >>
good point
Thanks for taking the time to list these links, I appreciate it.
To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure myself.
But then again, in 1969, while a congressman, George H.W. "rubbers" Bush along with another pub and 2 democrats wrote the Title X funding law which helps support planned parenthood. So, nothing fazes me anymore.

This is the time of year when we are transfixed by the beauty of the harvest moon. The cotton is thick on the plants, ready for someone to harvest it to create warmth and cover for someone. As I drive up and down I-65, the trees are burnt oranges, reds, and yellows, noting the change in the temperature and the onset of winter. Harkening back to the pilgrims, this is the time of year we give thanks; thanks for the bounty we have been given.
Those of us who work at GSSA give thanks for those of you who volunteer your time, talents and share your gifts with girls to create a confident, courageous generation of girls who will change the world. Through volunteering, you change the world, one girl at a time, and one event at a time. We have the privilege of seeing that in action every time we attend a meeting, participate in an event, or experience a program.
We are grateful for the girls, who would rather spend their time honing their skills than sitting in front of the television or their electronic devices on Saturday morning. These are girls of action who take risks, move out of their comfort zone, and try all sorts of new things. These are also girls who learn to relate to one another. They learn the art of talking and listening to their peers. They learn to negotiate decisions with others participating. They learn how to get along with others. These girls will become exceptional adults.
We are grateful for the opportunities to explore nature and the outdoors with the camps and properties we have access to. We have the opportunity to enjoy beautiful lakes, trails, tents, buildings, and kitchens in the woods all over our council jurisdiction. We are grateful to have access to opportunities that arise from these properties that others do not enjoy.
We are grateful to have the opportunity to serve our community and improve it -- whether that is through picking up trash where we meet to providing a library for our school that didn't have one. Girl Scouts serve their community and perpetuate respect for flag and country. We are grateful to live in a country where we are free to do that.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Linguine with Avocado and Arugula Pesto
- 1 pound linguine pasta
- 2 medium avocados, halved, peeled, and seeded (about 12 ounces total)
- 3 cups baby arugula leaves (3 ounces)
- 1 packed cup fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 large limes)
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup grated Parmesan (4 ounces)
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Cook's Note)
Cook's Note: To toast the almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. Place in a serving bowl.
Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh from the avocados and place in a food processor. Add the arugula, basil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Pour the pesto over the pasta and toss together. Add the cheese and almonds and toss together until coated, adding the pasta water, as needed, to loosen the sauce.

Yes, i think it's some of the members of the crew and some of the cast. I'm pretty sure it's Guy Pearce on the left (first picture).. They need to know each other before starting shootinDelete
Glad he's bonding with the boys. It's good for him to get out of his stuffy hotel room. Good for him.ReplyDelete

Although hip-hop fans praised the effort put out by the Odd Squad, their album was not as commercially successful as they hoped. While the group went back to the drawing board, Rap-A-Lot franchise artist Scarface approached Devin to be a part of his new group, Facemob. Facemob released one album in 1996, The Other Side of the Law, and then broke up due to internal problems. At this time, Devin decided to work on his debut solo album, The Dude, with the help of Smith and Scarface.
The Dude was released in 1998 with virtually no video and little radio play. The Dude was a smoothed-out, funk-laden album and an ode to wine, women, and weed. Regardless, the album built a large underground following and even caught the attention of veteran hip-hop producer Dr. Dre. He contacted Devin in 1999 and asked him to be a part of the 2001 album on the track "Fuck You." This single appearance made Devin a hot commodity, earning him appearances on songs with De La Soul, Raphael Saadiq, veteran rap group UGK, and a solo track on the Oz soundtrack.
His anticipated sophomore LP, Just Tryin' ta Live, was released in the summer of 2002 and featured appearances from Nas, Xzibit, and Raphael Saadiq with production from Dre, DJ Premier, and his Coughee Brothas. To tha X-Treme arrived two years later and was followed in 2007 by Waiting to Inhale, his first album to crack the Top 40 on Billboards album chart. A year later, Landing Gear became his first album for the Razor & Tie label. Suite #420 followed in 2010 and had the honor of being released on the stoners holiday of April 20th (4/20). ~ Quibian "Q" Salazar-Moreno, Rovi

As a member of the healthful cruciferous family, broccoli boasts a number of minerals and antioxidants. "All the cruciferous vegetables in general, like cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage—that whole family—are excellent for you," says Rebecca Berman, a registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist at Palm Beach Dietetics.
- Sulforaphane: Many studies indicate that this compound has anti-cancer benefits.
- Folate: A form of vitamin B, folate helps make red blood cells, synthesize and repair DNA and prevent anemia.
Eat it Because
The phytonutrients in broccoli have anti-inflammatory properties, making it perfect for detox diets. "A lot of people don't realize that inflammation is actually the cause of a lot of conditions," Berman says. "A lot of diseases start with having inflammation in your body."
"Avocados are the complete package, containing fiber, protein and over 20 essential nutrients," says Courtney Burke, a certified nutrition consultant and healthy eating specialist at Whole Foods in Palm Beach Gardens. In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, this fruit has monounsaturated fat, potassium and vitamins A, C and E.
- Potassium: An avocado has more potassium than a banana. "Potassium is considered an electrolyte and it's really important for muscle function," Berman says.
- Monounsaturated fats: These healthy fats decrease the risk of heart disease and improve blood cholesterol.
How to Incorporate
The recommended serving size is 1/5 of the avocado, or one ounce; this contains 50 calories and all of the vitamins and minerals.

The U.S. Diplomacy Center recently acquired a collection of fascinating historical objects from the Bureau of Consular Affairs, Overseas Citizens Services (CA/OCS). Included in the collection are log books, card boxes, cables, and a seal press which are vivid representations of consular work in the early to mid 20th century. Representing different countries and different decades, the objects remind us that despite technological and political changes over the years the mission of Consular Affairs has remained largely the same: to protect the lives and interests of U.S. citizens abroad and to strengthen the security of United States borders through the vigilant adjudication of visas and passports.
In this collection is a bound book of "Applications for Registration of Native and Naturalized American Citizens" from Ottawa, Canada, used from November 1924 through December 1932. After the publication of President Theodore Roosevelt's Executive Order 611 of April 8, 1907, consular officers were required to register all American citizens in their respective districts abroad and provide them with a Certificate of Identity and Registration, like this one issued to Alice G. Way in 1925.
Taking a closer look, we see that the issuing officer was a young John Dewey Hickerson, who would later play a role in establishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and serve as ambassador to Finland and the Philippines.
Similarly, this box of Passport and Nationality Registration cards were used at U.S. Embassy Moscow to record local U.S. citizens throughout the 1960s.
Today, Consular Affairs still registers U.S. citizens traveling or living abroad through the STEP website. Registering via STEP allows the Department of State to better assist you in the event of an emergency or with routine information when needed.
The cable pictured above contains a travel warning and was issued on April 4, 1969 for Czechoslovakia – the same month their leader Alexander Dubček was removed from power by his Moscow counterparts. The cable indicates that the political situation at the time was "tense and uncertain" and that tourists "should consider delaying" their trip. U.S. citizens are also "urged to register promptly on arrival." For many years Travel Warnings were sent via telegram, and disseminated in paper form. Today, much like the registration of U.S. citizens abroad, Travel Warnings are issued on web and mobile platforms.
Consular practice must also adjust to geopolitical changes. This mid-20th century styled seal press stamps an image of the Great Seal of the United States and "U.S. Consulate General Madras."
After obtaining independence from British imperial rule in 1947, India began the process of renaming their cities. The U.S. Consulate General of Madras altered their equipment accordingly when in 1996 Madras was renamed Chennai.
Consular officers have used different tools over the years in performing the vital function of serving U.S. citizens abroad. As technology continues to advance exponentially in the 21st century, consular work will adjust accordingly, but just as it did throughout the 20th century, the dedication to the mission of Consular Affairs will remain the same.
Thanks to the foresight of our preservation-minded colleagues at these consulates and the Bureau of Consular Affairs, these objects are now part of the larger museum collections of the U.S. Diplomacy Center and will grace future museum exhibits. The USDC collects objects that tell the story of American diplomacy – from its present-day practice and challenges to its storied history. Objects, the "real thing," are essential in showing how diplomacy is grounded in day-to-day activities performed by real people.

Distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) generation has begun to impact distribution systems. The impact is unique to individual distribution feeders and is based on certain or all issues ranging from voltage, loading, power quality, protection, and control. The impact distributed PV will have on a specific distribution feeder can only be determined with knowledge of that feeder's characteristics. These characteristics include but are not limited to load, voltage, regulation, and impedance.
This Technical Update discusses the analysis developed by EPRI to determine distributed PV impact to a specific feeder. The analysis uses a stochastic approach when creating potential PV deployment scenarios. The stochastic nature of the analysis takes into account the uncertainty in the size and location of potentially installed PV systems. Through the examination of issues for thousands of potential scenarios, the feeder impact is used to determine the total amount of PV that is likely to cause an adverse impact to the feeder. This amount of PV is considered the feeder's hosting capacity, or in other words, the maximum amount of PV that can be accommodated. The feeder modeling, analysis, and evaluation of issues to determine hosting capacity are all discussed in detail in this report.

I am trying to get a stronger handle on the use if my Lyric and Venue so I can manage in different situations quicker and easier. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.
I have been setting the presence screw at or near its mid way point. It results in a more natural trebles but a real muddy and boomy low mids anywhere between 200hz to 600hz depending on the space. My EQ adjustments were very extreme, often cut all the way on both low mid and high mid knobs.
So another place I landed was to increase the presence knob until the majority of the boominess was gone and then try and tame the trebles with the Venue. I would land around 75% Of the way. Set that way, I was never able to get a realistic treble sound that was anywhere close to natural.
I am still able to get a reasonably good sound most times but I can tell its on the verge of a great sound. It leaves me wondering if I am working it out properly. I may be doing all I can already but if you have any tips, tricks to pass on, it would be helpful.

Plans for First Avenue North refined
Sections of sidewalk that bump out into the roadway at intersections can't be bumped out of a plan for rebuilding First Avenue North this year because of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, Fort Dodge City Council members learned Monday night.
"If we removed the bump-outs completely, making the ADA compliancy work would be nearly impossible," Derick Anderson, of McClure Engineering Co. in Fort Dodge told the council.
He recommended keeping the bump-outs at all intersections, but added that some proposed for places in the middle of a block have been removed from the plans.
McClure Engineering Co. is working on the plans for the roughly $3 million reconstruction of First Avenue North between Third and Seventh streets. The job will include total reconstruction of the pavement, sidewalk replacement and the installation of new water mains, sanitary sewers and storm drains.
Anderson said construction is expected to start in June and be done by the end of the year.
A series of bump-outs were proposed as part of the sidewalk reconstruction. They would be similar to the protruding sections of sidewalk found at intersections along Central Avenue downtown.
Councilman Don Wilson said bump-outs aren't popular with the public.
Councilman Kim Alstott said they make snow removal more difficult.
But according to Anderson, they're necessary to comply with the federal mandate.
He said the Americans with Disabilities Act requires sidewalks at intersections to have a gentle slope so that someone who uses a wheelchair can easily roll up and down them. He added that the law also requires a flat spot at the top of the slope so that a wheelchair can be safely turned to head down the sidewalk.
Anderson said without the bump-outs, there's not enough space to create the required slope and flat spot.
Although a federal mandate is driving the need for the bump-outs, Anderson said he's not aware of any federal money to pay for them.
Councilman Robert "Barney" Patterson suggested eliminating one on-street parking space at each side of an intersection in order to reduce how much each bump-out protrudes into the road.
Public Works Director Greg Koch said snow removal can be done around bump-outs with the proper equipment.
"I'm not concerned with the bump-outs and snow maintenance," he said. "I know we can do the job."
After the project is completed, the traffic light at First Avenue North and Seventh Street will be removed, according to Anderson. He said stop signs will be placed on Seventh Street to control traffic there.
City Manager David Fierke said when the project is completed he will recommend that First Avenue North be converted to two-way traffic. It is now a two-way street between Third and Seventh streets. Between Seventh and 12th streets it is a one-way street with all traffic heading east.

Five Great Cycle Routes for Families in France
With the Tour de France upon us – Saturday 2nd to Sunday 24th July – we thought we'd pay homage to the French love affair with pedal power.
Of course, you don't need to be Lance Armstrong to enjoy France by bike… There are miles of meandering lanes, canal-side towpaths and beautiful stretches of coastal paths perfectly marked out for le vélo.
And there's nowhere quite like France for a self-catering cycling holiday! You'll see more of the sights, meet the locals and have the opportunity to engage with the places you pass through. Not to mention a rental apartment will give you the chance to sample local food, and the odd glass of wine…
It's also a great way to enjoy a healthy and active holiday option – think of it as the summer equivalent to skiing!
The Voies Vertes, or Greenways, are an extensive network of dedicated cycle routes across France linking up nearly 2,600km of safe, marked paths. So whether you want to embark on a week-long tour or an afternoon in the saddle, there are plenty of routes to choose from. Here are some of our top suggestions of the best places to get peddling.
The Loire à vélo, The Loire – For châteaux fans
The Loire à vélo is an ambitious project linking two regions, six départements and six major urban areas over an 800km trail between Cuffy and Saint-Brévin on the Atlantic coast, two thirds of which run alongside the River Loire with its fabulous châteaux.
There are specific segments of the route between Muides sur Loire and Ancenis recommended for families, with a number of short distance options to choose from.
And to rest those tired legs between trips Pierre & Vacances have a range of self catering apartments in the Loire Valley.
Avenue Verte Dieppe-Forges, Normandy – For budding athletes
Destined ultimately to link London with Paris in time for the 2012 Olympics, this 45km route runs from Dieppe on the Normandy coast to the spa town of Forges-les-Eaux along the former Dieppe to Paris railway line.
For now you'll have to make do with some picture-perfect Normandy countryside with lots of apples and cider to help you on your way. And to kick-back and enjoy the views during your stay, Pierre & Vacances have a range of family apartment rentals in Normandy.
La Baie de Somme à Vélo, Picardy – For beach fans and bird watchers
Le Baie de Somme is made up of seven trails, many kilometres of which run alongside the seashore, weaving through dunes, mudflats and reed beds full of migratory birds. The Baie de Somme railway carries cycles free of charge, so you can hop on and off and tackle as much or as little of the trails as you wish. And to enjoy hopping around Picardy, Pierre & Vacances has a range of self-catering accommodation to rest those weary wheels.
Le-tour-de-Bourgogne-a-vélo, Burgundy – For vineyard fans
The cycling tour of Burgundy, much like the Loire and Somme equivalents, is made up of five individual trails showcasing the region's main attractions and eventually destined to cover 800km.
The route is made up of towpaths, paths through vineyards, disused railway lines and country lanes. The Santenay-Nolay track, the 'Voie des Vignes', is particularly recommended for easy family cycling. And to make the most of your stay Pierre & Vacances has a range of holiday accommodation in Burgundy as a great base to explore the region.
Piste du canal de L'Ourcq, Paris – For city slickers
This cycle path alongside the canal offers a flat and picturesque option, great for a day out from Paris. The route takes you from the Parc de la Villette in north-eastern Paris out into the countryside to Claye-Souilly, 27km from the city. Ultimately this route is intended to link Paris with Moscow!
For a shorter route families can choose a pit-stop at La Poudrerie Forest Park at Servan, 14km along the canal. And to make the most of your stay in the area, Pierre & Vacances has a wide range of holiday apartments to rent in Paris with both scenic and central locations.
And for those after some serious cycling…
Here are two long-distance options for those seeking a serious cycling challenge!
Voie Verte Trans-Ardennes
This greenway is graded as an easy route, running 85 km in total between Charleville-Mezieres and Givet near the Belgian border. The train which runs through the valley is a great back up option for tired legs. And as for accommodation along the route, Pierre & Vacances has a wide range of family self-catering rentals in Ardennes.
Canal du Midi, Languedoc-Roussillion/ Midi-Pyrenees
The Canal du Midi is a UNESCO World Heritage site, bordered almost all of the way by striking plane trees. The route takes you through the heart of the beautiful South West countryside with ample opportunity to sample local wines and visit ancient towns and monuments.
The full route (240km) will take you from Toulouse along the canal to the little port of Marseillan on the Mediterranean, but can be broken down into stages for easily manageable chunks!
The other option is to head North West from Toulouse towards Bordeaux and the Atlantic Ocean along the Canal de Garonne, the full canal route originally designed to link the two coasts. For those wanting to make the most of a cycling holiday in the sublime region, Pierre & Vacances has a selection of self catering accommodation in the South of France .

After ten years at the company, Eric Schmidt decided to resign as the chief executive officer of Google, a leading Internet service company. Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, will take the helm and will become chief executive officer starting early April. The company said that the switch of the execs will help to make the decision making process faster.
Starting from April 4, Larry Page, Google co-founder, will take charge of Google's day-to-day operations as chief executive officer. Eric Schmidt will assume the role of executive chairman, focusing externally on deals, partnerships, customers and broader business relationships, government outreach and technology thought leadership, all of which are increasingly important given Google's global reach. Internally, he will continue to act as an advisor. Sergey Brin, Google co-founder, will devote his energy to strategic projects, in particular working on new products.
From left to right: Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergey Brin in a self-driving car
"When I joined Google in 2001 I never imagined - even in my wildest dreams - that we would get as far, as fast as we have today. [...] But as Google has grown, managing the business has become more complicated. So Larry, Sergey and I have been talking for a long time about how best to simplify our management structure and speed up decision making - and over the holidays we decided now was the right moment to make some changes to the way we are structured," said Eric Schmidt in a letter to Google staff.
According to the now former chief executive of Google, all three executives have all been equally involved in making decisions throughout the last ten years. This triumvirate approach had real benefits in terms of shared wisdom, and they will continue to discuss the big decisions among themselves. However, with the shuffle of the execs, the individual roles and responsibilities will be clarified strictly.
"We are confident that this focus will serve Google and our users well in the future. Larry, Sergey and I have worked exceptionally closely together for over a decade - and we anticipate working together for a long time to come," said Mr. Schmidt.

Thursday, May 10, 2012 - Badminton World Federation
One of the IBF's long standing Council Members, Dr Lau Teng Chuan of Singapore, passed away on Tuesday 8th May after a long illness – he was 83. Dr Lau is survived by his wife Mary, two sons, a daughter and 7 grandchildren.
Dr Lau was a member of the then International Badminton Federation Council from 1989 - 1998 as the Asian Badminton Confederation representative. He also served terms during his tenure in the IBF as Chairman of the Technical Officials Commission and he was a highly respected Certificated Referee.
His contribution to the development of the sport via his seat at the IBF Council and also on the Technical Commission is immense and greatly valued.
Dr Lau Teng Chuan was honoured with the International Badminton Federation's Distinguished Service Award in 1997 for his life-long dedication to and support of the game of badminton at national, regional and international levels.
An Honours Graduate of the Loughborough College, London in Physical Education, Teng Chuan was the Executive Director of the Singapore Sports Council from 1975 to 1992 and then managed the Singapore National Olympic Council as its Secretary-General from 1995 - 2002.
Dr Lau is regarded by many as the father of physical education in Singapore having played a key role in implementing the PE strategy in schools. He was also central to the development of an outstanding organization capable of responding to the ever increasing athletics needs of a fast developing country.
In his younger days, Teng Chuan was part of the Singapore national badminton squad and national team (1956-58) and a contemporary of Wong Peng Soon and Ong Poh Lim. He later turned to coaching the national team (1963-65).

Win at foodie trivial pursuit with these 15 interesting spice facts.
Spices, herbs and seasoning blends are some of the best flavor conductors we have in the kitchen. With a sprinkle or dash, spices allow us to elevate inexpensive dishes to maharaja standards. But do you know your spices like you do your meats and vegetables? For insight beyond the supermarket shelves and scant spice labels, we asked Owner Hollie Rollins and Assistant Manager Chris Andrews of The Savory Spice Shop in Franklin, Tenn. for a collection of facts that would put most food trivia enthusiasts to shame. After all, these two live and (quite literally)�breathe spices, and they keep their shelves well-stocked with just about every spice in the book. And the fact that their spices all are GMO and MSG-free is just sp-icing on the cake. 15 Spice Facts You Never Knew 1. Peppercorns have been used to spice up foods for more than 4,000 years. As early as the 4th century BC, texts describe pepper being used as a seasoning for Indian feasts. 2. In Taoist mythology, black garlic, a fermented Korean product, was associated with immortality. While we�re not sure it will endow you with supernatural powers, we can assure you that it will add richness and memorable flavor to eggs, dips and meats. Unlike white garlic, the black variation isn't at all harsh�it tastes almost like a savory version of a fig. 3. The names of many spice blends are shrouded in mystery. One of these is the Argentinian blend, Chimichurri. One story is that Basque colonists named the sauce tximitxurry, which loosely translates to "a mix of many things, in no particular order." 4.�Saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world�the bowl of Spanish saffron pictured above rings in at $371. This is because the vibrant thread-like spice has to be harvested by hand. Saffron comes from the stigma of the crocus sativus, and each crocus contains only 3-5 stigma. This means one hundred flowers are needed to produce only one gram of saffron.�Thankfully, only a few strands are needed to infuse a dish with intense flavor and a faint tangerine hue. 5.�While Columbus originally named the dried fruit of a certain Jamaican plant pimento, once it arrived in Europe, it became known as allspice. This name is attributed to the fact that it tastes like a blend of many spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Its unique flavor makes this small, dried berry a perfect addition to savory dishes (it�s a key ingredient is Jamaican Jerk Seasoning) as well as in baked desserts. 6.�Nutmeg trees actually produce two spices: nutmeg and mace. Nutmeg is the seed of the tree, while mace is the lacy, reddish covering on the nutmeg seed. The flavor is similar but mace is slightly more pungent. Nutmeg was once so exotic that the Dutch traded the entire island of Manhattan to the British for the islands that grew nutmeg. 7.�People sometimes mention masala as a seasoning. In fact, masala translates to spice�so a masala blend can contain just about anything. Chat Masala is a tart spice blend while Garam Masala is a warm, earthy blend. 8.�Achiote seeds (or annatto seeds) are small, triangular, red seeds. They have a subtle peppery flavor with a slight peppermint scent and a hint of bitterness. While best known for their application in making authentic Puerco pabil, these seeds have also been used to color cosmetics and fabrics. 9.�The primary difference between a butcher�s rub and a seasoning is the particle size. Butcher�s rubs are more coarse, which helps prevent the seasonings from burning during the cooking process. Seasonings are better for dishes with shorter cooking times and less intense heat. 10.�While both from the bay laurel plant, California Bay leaves and Turkish Bay leaves have distinctively different flavors due to the climate and atmosphere in which they are grown. The Turkish variety is milder, while the California Bay leaves are stronger, with eucalyptus-like notes. 11.�Chinese Five Spice is a traditional blend, named not after the number of ingredients but after the five flavors (sour, bitter, salty, sweet, pungent). The combination of these flavors is thought to create balance. 12.�Harissa is a condiment popular in North African cooking. It�s as common there as Tabasco is in the United States. This popular blend isn�t just hot, it�s also flavorful and contains coriander, cumin and caraway. 13. Scoville units are the most widely used measurement of a chile�s heat. This scale, created by Wilbur Scoville, relied on a panel of tasters to determine how much sugar water solution was required to neutralize a chile�s heat. The hottest chile for sale? The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Chile�(pictured) rings in at 1.2 million Scoville heat units�the equivalent of eating a ghost pepper and habanero�at the same time. But here's some hot news: In December 2013, the�Carolina Reaper stole the crown with 2.2 million Scoville heat units�making it akin to pepper spray. 14.�It is suspected that the origins of chili powder date to frontier chuck wagons. The first commercial chili powder was sold in the late 1800s. Chili powder is a blend that usually contains chiles, onion, garlic, cumin and other spices. 15. Herbs are derived from a plant's leaves whereas spices are sourced from the bark, buds, roots and seeds of a plant. This means you can have two very different flavors and products from the same plant. Take Fenugreek (pictured above) for example, a plant widely used in Indian cuisines that is sold in both golden seed and green herb form. Want to visit Hollie and Chris? Stop by The Savory Spice Shop in picturesque Downtown Franklin, Tenn., where you can browse and sample nearly 400 spices, seasonings and herbs�all handcrafted in small batches and available at custom weights upwards of one ounce.� For some of our favorite spice-filled recipes, see below.

Honeywell Continues Support of WNY Chemistry Olympiad Program
BUFFALO, NY – Canisius College is the recipient of a $10,000 grant from Honeywell's Buffalo Research Laboratory. The funds will be used to offset costs associated with students' preparation and participation in the Western New York Chapter of the International Chemistry Olympiad. The Chemistry Olympiad is a local, national and international competition designed to stimulate and promote achievement in high school chemistry. It is sponsored in the U.S. by the American Chemical Society and hosted locally by Canisius College.
"Honeywell is proud to support Canisius College and its participation in this event," said Jay Kelly, site leader for Honeywell's Research Laboratory. "Fostering interest in the chemical sciences among high school students and helping to inspire the next generation of scientists is one of our priorities, and we are pleased that Canisius College continues to demonstrate its commitment to science education by hosting this event."
Honeywell's Buffalo lab has supported the Western New York Chapter of the International Chemistry Olympiad for more than 20 years and has been its principal supporter at Canisius College since 2002. Along with the company's donation, employees of Honeywell's Buffalo lab serve as mentors, and help nearly 80 students to prepare for local and national competitions.
The Honeywell grant is part of the corporation's Hometown Solutions program. Building on a tradition of corporate citizenship that spans more than a century, the program's efforts are focused on four important societal needs that align with Honeywell's heritage, products and people: science and math education; family safety and security; housing and shelter; and humanitarian relief.
Honeywell's Buffalo site houses the primary research and development facility for the company's Fluorine Products business, a world leader in fluorine technology. The business manufactures and supplies a wide range of products, including non-ozone-depleting and low-global-warming-potential refrigerants and blowing agents.
Canisius College is one of 28 Jesuit universities in the nation and the premier private university in Western New York.

UPSET report: Drug problems on the rise in U.P.
ESCANABA – Illegal drug problems are on the rise in the Upper Peninsula due in large part to increased availability of medications, easier ways to make narcotics, and more people being issued medical marijuana cards.
That was the message from Ron Koski, team leader of the U.P. Substance Enforcement Team (UPSET), who addressed a group of community leaders at a monthly governmental meeting in Escanaba this week.
The UPSET narcotics team is made up of state, county and city police from Delta, Marquette and Menominee counties. Federal agents also represent the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
UPSET conducts undercover drug and firearm investigations throughout the year and also provides support to other agencies by doing surveillance and making arrests, said Koski. The agency covers the 12 counties west of Manistique and Munising.
Last year, UPSET investigated 240 complaints, including 54 from Delta County. This represents 23 percent of the agency's caseload in 2012, he said.
Regarding arrests made last year, UPSET nabbed 150 individuals in its coverage area, including 12 people in Delta County, representing 8 percent of the agency's total arrests in 2012, Koski said.
So far this year, 26 of UPSET's 98 complaints were from Delta County, representing 27 percent of the cases. Fifteen arrests, or 16 percent, of the agency's 95 arrests this year have been from Delta County. Four arrest warrants are currently being reviewed by the prosecutor's office, added Koski.
"A problem in all the counties is prescription pills," Koski said, citing specific drug trends throughout the region.
Drug abusers obtain pills by buying them off the street, stealing from friends and relatives, breaking into homes, and "doctor shopping" for multiple prescriptions, he explained.
Methamphetamine, or "meth," is the most common illegal drug issue in Delta County. The largest meth problems have been seen in Marquette, Baraga and Gogebic counties, he said.
Meth has become more prevalent in the region because it is cheap and easy to make, said Koski, explaining the illegal drug is made of five common ingredients which can be easily purchased. Previously, meth took eight hours to manufacture; now it can be concocted in one bottle in 45 minutes, he said.
Meth labs are on the rise and also pose a threat to public safety and the environment, said Koski. The manufacturing process can be explosive and cause severe burns. More babies are being born with meth addictions. Meth labs create hazardous wastes which are often dumped in the woods.
So far this year, 21 meth labs have been found in UPSET's coverage area. Last year, 45 labs were found compared to 21 labs in 2011 and seven in 2010. Statewide, 800 meth labs were found in 2012.
Other drug trends in the region include a huge heroin problem in Menominee and Dickinson counties with the drug coming in through Menominee, said Koski. Marquette County also has a heroin problem with the drug coming from downstate.
Bath salts are a growing concern in the U.P., where major busts have been made in Baraga and Ontonagon counties, he said. Use of synthetic drugs such as K-2 Spice is also occurring in the region. Cocaine use continues as well, he added.
Medical marijuana use and illegal pot use are problems in every county UPSET works in, said Koski. A total of 178,000 people in Michigan have medical marijuana cards and that number is increasing each year, he said.
Patients prescribed a medical marijuana card can grow up to 12 pot plants. Caregivers can grow a dozen plants for up to five patients each, as well as 12 plants for themselves if they have a medical marijuana card, for a total of 72 plants, explained Koski.
The medical marijuana law has created issues for law enforcement during investigations. Since the state will not disclose names of medical marijuana card holders due to HIPPA laws, police cannot determine illegal grows from legal grows until search warrants are executed, arrests are made, and resources are spent, he said.
According to Delta County Prosecutor Steve Parks, a medical marijuana cardholder with THC (the by-product of smoking pot) in his or her system can be prosecuted if there is evidence of impaired driving. On the other hand, it is illegal for anyone without a medical pot card to have THC in their body at any time.
UPSET has been in operation since 1988. In addition to enforcing the law, the agency conducts educational presentations for schools, community groups and governmental agencies. UPSET can be reached at 1-800-882-8202.

Topic: array/table style form with checkboxes
I am looking for a railesque solution for following situation:
I have an array of permissions and an array of roles.
Each role can have 0-n permissions. Each permission can belong to 0-n roles.
To assign permissions to roles i display a form with two dimensional array of checkboxes (roles on the x-axis, permissions on the y-axis).
I see following solutions for this form:
- with AJAX: onClick/onChange handler to send
and if it is checked or unchecked
to the controller. the controller can figure out role and permission, handles assignment/removal and returns just the new checkbox trough a partial
- with Submit button: give the checkboxes a name like
and a value of <%=perm.id%>
. In the controller loop trough all roles and get the according parameters. Get the permissions and assign to role.
especialy the second example seems to complicated and i think there is something easier (i.e. arrays ?)
thanks for hints and ideas...

I have tried a new one and it has the same problem.
The hum is also hearing when the system is out of the guitar.
When I hold the output (cable) the hum is gone.
Please have somebody an idea what the problem is?

ROGERS — In November, Bishop Anthony B. Taylor released his first pastoral letter to Catholics in the Diocese of Little Rock called, "I Was a Stranger and You Welcomed Me: A Pastoral Letter on the Human Rights of Immigrants."
In the weeks that followed, staff members at St. Vincent de Paul Church gathered to meet and discuss the pastoral letter. It was at the end of one of the meetings that staff members were asked if they had any experiences related to immigration. A slender, dark-haired young woman, Soledad Hernandez, stood and told her story.

Array-based replication does have drawbacks; all externalised storage becomes dependent on the virtualising array. This makes replacement potentially complex. To date, HDS have not provided tools to seamlessly migrate away from one USP to another (as far as I am aware). In addition, there's the problem of "all your eggs in one basket"; any issue with the array (e.g. physical intervention like fire, loss of power, microcode bug etc) could result in loss of access to all of your data. Consider the upgrade scenario of moving to a higher level of code; if all data was virtualised through one array, you would want to be darn sure that both the upgrade process and the new code are going to work seamlessly...
The final option is to use fabric-based virtualisation and at the moment this means Invista and SVC. SVC is an interesting one as it isn't an array and it isn't a fabric switch, but it does effectively provide switching capabilities. Although I think SVC is a good product, there are inevitably going to be some drawbacks, most notably those similar issues to array-based virtualisation (Barry/Tony, feel free to correct me if SVC has a non-disruptive replacement path).
I would argue that the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) is more like the HDS USP, and less like the Invista. Both SVC and USP provide a common look and feel to the application server, both provide additional cache to external disk, both are able to provide a consistent set of copy services.
IBM designed the SVC so that upgrades can occur non-disruptively. You can replace the hardware nodes, one node at a time, while the SVC system is up and running, without disruption to reading and writing data on virtual disk. You can upgrade the software, one node at a time, while the SVC system is up and running, without disruption to reading and writing data on virtual disk. You can upgrade the firmware on the managed disk arrays behind the SVC, again, without disruption to reading and writing data on virtual disk.
More importantly, SVC has the ultimate "un-do" feature. It is called "image mode". If for any reason you want to take a virtual disk out of SVC management, you migrate over to an "image mode" LUN, and then disconnect it from SVC. The "image mode" LUN can then be used directly, with all the file system data in tact.
I define "virtualization" as technology that makes one set of resources look and feel like a different set of resources with more desirable characteristics. For SVC, the more desirable characteristics include choice of multi-pathing driver, consistent copy services, improved performance, etc. For EMC Invista, the question is "more desirable for whom?" EMC Invista seems more designed to meet EMC's needs, not its customers. EMC profits greatly from its EMC PowerPath multi-pathing driver, and from its SRDF copy services, so it appears to have designed a virtualization offering that:
- Continuesthe use of EMC Powerpath as a multi-pathing driver. SVC supports driversthat are provided at no charge to the customer, as well as those built-in to each operating system like MPIO.
- and, continuesthe use of Array-based copy services like SRDF of the underlying disk. SVC providesconsistent copy services regardless of storage vendor being managed.
A post from Dan over at Architectures of Control explains the anti-social nature of public benches. City planners, in an effort to discourage homeless people from sleeping on benches in parks or sidewalks, design benches that are so uncomfortableto use, that nobody uses them. These included benches made of metal that are too hot or too cold during certainmonths, benches slanted at an angle that dump you on the ground if you lay down, or benches that have dividers sothat you must be in an upright seated position to use.
This is not a disparagement of split-path switch-based designs. Rather, EMC's specific implementation appears to be designed for it to continuevendor lock-in for its multi-pathing driver, continuevendor lock-in for its copy services when used with EMC disk, and only provide slightly improved data migration capability for heterogeneous storage environments. Other switch-based solutions, such as those from Incipient or StoreAge, had different goals in mind.
Sadly, my IBM colleague BarryW and I have probably spent more words discussing Invista than all eleven EMC bloggers combined this year. While everyone in the industry is impressed how often EMC can sell "me, too" products with an incredibly large marketing budget, EMC appears not to have set aside funds for the Invista.
If a customer could design the ideal "storage virtualization" solution that would provide them the characteristics they desire the most from storage resources, it would not be anything like an Invista. While there are pros and cons between IBM's SVC and HDS's TagmaStore offerings, the reason both IBM and HDS are the market leaders in storage virtualization is because both companies are trying to provide value to the customer, just in different ways, and with different implementations.

Enterprise wins 6 journalism awards
ALBANY – The Adirondack Daily Enterprise has won six journalism awards in such topics as investigative reporting, community service and photography for 2011-12.
The New York News Publishers Association, which represents the state's daily newspapers, presented the prizes at its annual awards dinner Wednesday night at the State Room restaurant in Albany.
The Enterprise competed against other small newspapers in the under-10,000 circulation class. The Enterprise's daily circulation is about 4,600 printed copies, plus online readers. The award period was from October 2011 through September 2012. All awards are first place.
Senior Staff Writer Chris Knight and North Country Public Radio Adirondack Bureau Chief Brian Mann won the Investigative Reporting award for "Trudeau at the tipping point," a series of articles that exposed how leaders of Trudeau Institute, a longstanding biomedical research center in Saranac Lake, had secretly tried to relocate the facility to a different location. The articles also exposed Trudeau's vulnerable financial and professional position at the time – which has since strengthened.
Knight and Managing Editor Peter Crowley were named for the Community Service award for a series of in-depth articles by Knight and an editorial by Crowley that explored how widespread and serious the local prescription drug abuse problem is. Knight also reported what local medical facilities are doing to curb it, and the editorial suggested that the problem is rooted in a national pattern of over-prescription that would be difficult, but possible, to change.
Outdoors Writer Mike Lynch, Staff Writer Chris Morris and Knight shared the State Government Coverage award for their breaking and in-depth articles on the state announcing it would buy from The Nature Conservancy 69,000 acres of Adirondack land, longtime holdings of the Finch, Pruyn and Co. forestry company.
Staff Writer Jessica Collier won the News Photography award for a picture of a fatal auto collision scene in the town of Brighton.
Lynch won the Feature Photography award for a picture of women in pink tutus crawling through a muddy obstacle course in the Tupperpalooza Warrior Run.
Outdoors columnist Joe Hackett won the prize for Specialty Supplement Feature Writing for a column titled "Mystery of the monument in a marsh," published in Embark, the Enterprise's outdoor-recreation magazine.
The NYNPA contest is one of two the Enterprise usually enters. The other is for the New York Associated Press Association, in which the Enterprise won six awards, one for first place, for 2011-12 in the under-20,000-circulation class.
"We are proud of the hard work our dedicated journalists do every day," Enterprise Publisher Catherine Moore commented. "It is even more exciting that their work reaches readers online farther than the Tri-Lakes region. This confirms our local news coverage is the best in the Adirondack Park."

With lots of poor students and low graduation rates, public schools in Macon, Georgia and surrounding Bibb County face lots of problems, reports NPR. Haitian-born superintendent Romain Dallemand's "Macon Miracle" has brought longer school days, year-round instruction and mandatory Mandarin Chinese instruction for every student, pre-K through 12th grade.
"Students who are in elementary school today, by 2050 they'll be at the pinnacle of their career," Dallemand says. "They will live in a world where China and India will have 50 percent of the world GDP. They will live in a world where, if they cannot function successfully in the Asian culture, they will pay a heavy price."
This school year, Dallemand is rolling out Mandarin in stages, a few sessions a week, with the youngest kids starting first. In three years, it will be at every grade level.
A Mandarin teacher costs the district only $16,000 a year, because they're subsidized by the Confucius Institute, which is partially funded by the Chinese government.
Some parents are dubious.
"Bibb County is not known for producing the highest-achieving graduates," says Macon resident Dina McDonald. "You'll see that many of them can't even speak basic English."
McDonald herself has a ninth-grader in the public schools and says she can imagine some students going into fields where Mandarin could be useful, like international business, technology or law. But with lower achievers, she says, "Do you want to teach them how to say, 'Do you want fries with that?' in Mandarin?"
The superintendent says children will rise to high expectations.
A friend of mine helped start a multilingual magnet school in Detroit in the '80s. Black parents who worked in the auto industry lined up to get their kids into Japanese language classes, thinking that it was the language of the future.
