SEIU are commie thugs not worth the salaries they already receive. Fire them all and hire people who have a thing called a work ethic. There is also a glaring lack of diversity at BART---if u r not a person of color--whatever that is---don't even apply.

Educational Programs
Study Abroad
Moravian College encourages students to participate in study abroad to add an international component to their major field of study. The Office of International Studies maintains a list of more than 40 semester and yearlong programs of academic study in over 30 locales. Approval to participate in study abroad is contingent upon meeting the following College requirements: a minimum 2.7 cumulative grade point average, good academic and student life standing, and the successful completion of at least 12 course units (equivalent of second semester sophomore standing) before going abroad. Transfer students must complete one fall or spring term at Moravian before applying for study abroad.
Most majors can include a semester of study abroad with the proper advance planning. Students receive extensive advising support from the director of international studies in choosing a program appropriate to their major, guidance in securing the appropriate course approvals from faculty, and assistance in completing both the Moravian and the chosen program application. All students attend a pre-departure orientation before they leave on their program.
While abroad, students may fulfill requirements in their major, minor, and/or Learning in Common (LinC) with pre-approval from department chairs (major/minor) or the Learning in Common director. Students must complete at least one U course at Moravian College.
Students must take all courses abroad for a letter grade. Pass/fail courses will not be accepted for Moravian credit. Students must earn a C (2.0) or better to receive credit for the course at Moravian. Grades earned on study abroad will not be calculated into the Moravian grade point average.
Moravian is committed to making study abroad available to all students. Students are charged Moravian tuition and fees. Moravian pays up to $8,500 toward the tuition to the program provider. The student is responsible for making up the difference in tuition, if any, and the student pays for room, board, airfare, and activity fees. Moravian aid as well as federal and state aid (per guidelines) will transfer for the study-abroad semester with the exception of on-campus work-study. Students participating in a summer program pay all fees directly to the program sponsor.
Faculty-led May Term study tours abroad are offered each year. Check online to see the current offerings. Moravian also co-sponsors six-week summer language programs in Italy, Mexico, Spain, and Germany through the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC). Grades from these programs are calculated into the student's overall Moravian grade point average. For further information on these programs, see the course offerings in Modern Languages.

Let us now praise framed-up men: Innocence commissions are being established all over the country. It's high time the Bay State followed suit. By Harvey Silverglate.
Cowans never learned how, or why, he came to be blamed for the non-fatal shooting of Boston police officer Gregory Gallagher in 1997. Now, the Boston Phoenix has uncovered substantial new information about the Cowans case. These revelations are troubling, as they suggest that key members of the Boston Police Department (BPD) knew that Cowans was innocent, even as they forged the case to prosecute him.
The Phoenix has reviewed hundreds of pages of documents, including contents of the original investigative file, and interviewed many sources close to the case. For a variety of reasons, certain case materials, physical evidence, and potential witnesses were not available. Nonetheless, the picture that has emerged is one in which some BPD officers appear to have perjured themselves, and/or concealed evidence, hidden what they knew, and even falsified documents. Officers may have been aware of Cowans's innocence — some of them may even have known who the real shooter was, and for whatever reason, worked to protect him.

Cologne was a flourishing city in the years between 1400 and 1520, when its artists achieved great fame and distinction, especially for their elaborate multi-panelled altarpieces. Cologne School paintings are renowned for their magnificent colours, rich and indeed extravagant decoration, and brilliant narrative skills. Paintings of the post-1500 period, such as this triptych of The Virgin and Child with saints, show the complex artistic absorption of Renaissance classicism and humanism while holding tightly to the Gothic passion for detail and decoration. The influence of sculptural forms is evident, the static facial expressions and generous draperies harking back to a time of greater religious certainty. The triptych is a splendid example of the late flowering of the German Gothic altarpiece at the height of the Italian Renaissance.
The painting celebrates the important role of saints, not just as protectors and patrons, but also as mediators interceding with God on behalf of the devoted believer. The altarpiece depicts the Virgin and Child enthroned within an enclosed garden, flanked by angel musicians and six female martyr saints. To the left of the Virgin are St Agatha (feast day 5 February, attribute of breast and pincers), St Katherine (feast day 25 November, attributes of sword and broken wheel, receiving a ring from the Christ Child) and St Dorothy (feast day 6 February, attributes of chaplet and child with basket of flowers), and to the right of the Virgin, St Barbara (feast day 4 December, attribute of tower), St Cecilia (feast day 22 November, playing portative organ) and St Agnes (feast day 21 January, attribute of lamb). Above, angels carry the crown of the Virgin and support a canopy, and from a bust-length figure of God the Father the dove of the Holy Spirit descends towards the Christ Child. In the left background are small figures of a female saint (perhaps St Katherine) before the Virgin and Child, and a man fishing in a pond.
On the inner left shutter appear St Henry (feast day 15 July, attributes of crown, sceptre, imperial eagle and a church) and St Helena (feast day 18 August, attributes of crown, sceptre and cross), with a donor figure who wears armour, a mantle and a cross, and kneels at a prie-dieu decorated with a carving of The Fall of man. Next to him an angel supports a coat of arms surmounted by a crested helmet ─ the same arms recur on shields supported by lions on the arm-rests of the Virgin's throne. The inner right shutter depicts St Peter (feast day 29 June, attribute of key) and St Margaret (feast day 20 July, attribute of dragon). The extensive townscape in the background of the right half of the central panel and the right shutter is a view of Cologne, extending from the church tower of St Heribert in Köln-Deutz to that of St Gereon.

text: Anyone watch? I thought about not even bothering with a thread, we hardly seemed to care last season. However, being the final season and all, I figured why the heck not. I was hoping things would pick up and they would try to go out with a good season but the first episode wasn't very promising. The scene where the car is miraculously stolen was just too much, even for a show as out there as this one. The writers couldn't possibly come up with a better way handle that? Then Gaby has to go and steal another car? No one bothered to call the police? I am curious to find out about the note Bree found. I wonder if it is about the body or about something else entirely. If everyone else got a note then it will be clear but if only Bree got a note then I bet we found out it is about something else entirely, she has done plenty to get in trouble over.

Fifteen miles south of Palm Springs, there's another oasis in the desert that boasts all the star power, sunshine, and elegance of its better-known neighbor to the north. Indian Wells began as a date-ranching town in the early 1900s, and by the middle of the century it was co-opted by silver-screen stars in need of a recharge. Today it's home to one of nine tournaments in the tennis Masters 1000, but most come to Indian Wells to relax by the pool, hit the links, and indulge in fine food and wine.
Founded in 1957 by Hollywood legends Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, the Indian Wells Resort still exudes that Golden Age elegance that earned it a spot on the original PGA Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Though renovated over the years to bring discerning guests the modern amenities they expect from a celebrity-owned retreat, the Indian Wells Resort still features a vast collection of historic photos and a restaurant reminiscent of the Rat Pack days, replete with live Sinatra-style entertainment. Luxury rooms are appointed with a king or two double beds, TV, and a view of the desert or pool.
In addition to the stellar 36-hole Celebrity and Players courses—which opened in 2006 and feature immaculately manicured fairways, plus waterfalls, streams, and lakes—the resort offers access to another 36 holes of golf at the Indian Wells Country Club. Off the course, you'll have access to a large heated swimming pool and a hot therapy pool, two tennis courts, a fitness center, and a casual restaurant and bar on the 11th hole.
Outside the resort, Palm Springs offers world-class retail in the El Paseo Shopping District, an educational look at the local habitat at The Living Desert zoo and gardens, and even a touch of culture at the Palm Springs Art Museum, all within minutes of Indian Wells.

Ok. This is definitely the scariest game I have ever played. EVER. You will jump countless times during the duration of this game. The enemies you encounter in this game are completely psycho, and they will scare the crap out of you time and time again.
The game isn't perfect, though. While the environments are nicely done, the character models are shiny and rubbery. They look sort of like bendable action figures. This doesn't stop the game from being scary, it's just a little disappointing considering how wonderfully decrepit the environments are.
The controls feel great--walking, moving and attacking couldn't be easier. But it is repetetive. The game works fine, it just needs more to do--smacking insane people with various objects the same way over and over just isn't enough. But god, does it ever feel satisfactory to dig a fire axe into the skull of a madman. And, what's even cooler is that, once you've gotten an enemy down on their knees you can do a special kill--snapping their neck, headbutting them, etc. The game is rated M, by the way.
Unfortunately, the guns aren't much fun to use, which is why I tended to stay away from them throughout most of the game--it's just takes more skill and strategy to use melee attacks. And don't think that I felt the game was repetetive because I played it this way--the guns that are there are few and far between anyway.
All in all, this is a frightening and intense game. It will creep up and burrow its way into your dreams and stay there for a good while. That's freaking awesome, because I have never, never ever had a game do that before. Playing this game at 12:00-1:00 at night with all the lights off is scarier than watching most horror movies these days.
The repetition can grate on your nerves after a while, but this game accomplishes what it set out to do: scare the crap out of people, and more importantly, establish itself as a heavy-hitter in the horror genre. This is by far the scariest game I have ever played, and I can't wait to see what Monolith does with the sequel.

This week we have a couple of questions from readers and some new money saving tips to share.
Does anyone have some suggestions for R.J. from Auckland? "Can anyone help me clean the underside of my iron? It has black sticky residue on it which stains any clothes I might want to iron. I have tried baking soda and other cleaners but nothing will get it off - as yet!"
And a reader has asked about cooking offal - do you have a favourite offal recipe you could share?
Sande has a Christmas tip. "Being a bit strapped for cash this Christmas, I looked at what my grandchildren like to do when they come to my house. Knowing I had a printer full of ink I decided to print off all different paper dolls and clothes for my 10-year-old granddaughter. Weren't they fun when we were children? For my 6-year-old granddaughter I printed all sorts of paper boxes, bags, toys, and paper airplanes of all designs and folds for my 13-year-old grandson. I've put them into bright cheerful clear-view files. Added to the other small things I'd bought all year, it should keep them entertained for a while!"
JJ from Waikouaiti has this hot water tip. "A hot water cylinder works on the same principle as a pot on the stove. If you start with cold water you have to turn your stove up high to get the water boiling, but when it's there you can turn it down to the lowest setting and keep it simmering. When you turn off your hot water cylinder the water cools down so the cylinder has to work on full power to get it hot as quick as possible - this uses more power than the 'simmer' function of leaving the cylinder on all the time. We only turn our cylinder off if we go away for three nights or more."
Mike from Auckland has a power-saving tip for those who are technically inclined. "If you have a mains cylinder fit a 350kpa limiting valve instead of the normal 500kpa. You will barely notice the difference but will save lots of water in the shower. A high-flow shower head will more than offset the felt loss of pressure and all valves will operate as normal."
Laura from Otago likes ricotta but does not want to pay the super expensive price. She says it's cheap and easy to make. "Heat two litres or even one litre of blue top milk (don't use trim as you get less yield) to 90 degrees, take off the heat and pour in one to two tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice. You will see the milk separate into curds and whey. Strain off the curds (ricotta), refrigerate, or eat straight away. The whey is great for the garden."
Linda from Paraparaumu suggests milk powder. "It tastes great and (trim milk) only costs $1 a litre.
"You can buy a Homebrand pack at Countdown for $10 that makes 10 litres. The advantage is that you only make up what you need. Good for the environment as you are not using milk containers. We don't notice any difference in the flavour."
Cole from Auckland has a tip about broccoli. "Once you have cut the head off your broccoli plant, instead of pulling it out and starting again, leave it in. Smaller heads grow out just above where the leaves join the stem. You can keep eating broccoli for months. I did this a few years ago and we ate broccoli at least two or three times a week for about four months off eight broccoli plants."

There is no SAAMI Spec for "380+P" and as such no manufacturer will allow for it's use in their manual. What Sig does say in the P238 manual is this:So that right there tells me that Sig is against using .380 ammunition carrying a +P designation.2. The use of reloaded, "remanufactured" hand-loaded, or other non-standard ammunition voids all warranties. Reloading is a science and improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result. Always use ammunition that complies with the industry performance standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, Inc. (SAAMI) of the United States or ammunition manufactured to military specifications.
While some of the 9mm guns come close in size, the .380s are still smaller and some of the micro 9mm offerings don't have the best rep for reliability. So far I stick with the tiny .380s. A Kahr MK9 has been on my list for a while, but I can never find one to get my hands on locally.

The Beltrami County Board of Commissioners finalized an ordinance Tuesday night that regulates the sale and use of so-called electronic cigarettes. The language was changed since the public hearing of the of issue two weeks ago, dropping the most controversial provisions of the new law. The ordinance, as adopted, will allow customers to sample non-nicotine products in dedicated shops--something the original language would not have allowed.
A similar proposal to compromise on the sampling issue was voted down by the Board last month 3-2, but in a surprising turnaround, all five members voted unanimously to allow it Tuesday night.
Dave Bewely, co-owner of Northern Vapes, an e-cigarette store in Bemidji, called the move "common sense."

Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Sept. 30, 2008)--The UTSA Department of Art and Art History will present the exhibit, "Sana Sana Colita de Rana: Artists Influenced by La Cultura," Oct. 2-26 at the UTSA Satellite Space in Blue Star Arts Complex Suite 115 at S. Alamo and Probandt streets. Curated by Ricky Armendariz, UTSA assistant professor of painting, the exhibition features the work of artists profoundly affected by cultural exchange. Their work includes themes of recombination, renegotiation, healing, ritual and spirituality.

"Like others, I find that the blend of contemporary and traditional aesthetics and the ongoing cultural negotiation among Mexican, indigenous and American influences has been problematically served by labels such as 'Chicano art,' 'Mexican-American art' or 'Latino art,'" said Armendariz. "Having been born in El Paso, and later moving to San Antonio, my own artistic choices result from the mix of direct and subconscious influence of all three cultures... [The exhibit] shows the vibrant character of artistic innovation responding to our histories and nurturing our future."
Armendariz borrowed the title for the exhibit from the opening lines of a common saying used to comfort children upset with the pain of a banged elbow, bruised knee or cut finger. The lines are: "Sana sana colita de rana. Dame un besito para hoy y manaña." (or "Healthy tale of a frog... give me a little kiss today and tomorrow."
Visitors to "Sana Sana Colita de Rana" will have the first look at the makeover of the UTSA Satellite Space. Faculty and graduate students from the Department of Art and Art History volunteered their time to spruce up the student-run gallery. With additional support from the university, the 10-year-old gallery was repainted, lighting was renovated and new signage was created.
"The Satellite Space is a great gallery for highlighting the creative talent of our community, faculty and students," said Greg Elliot, chair of the Department of Art and Art History. "To have a teaching gallery that operates as a professional exhibition space is a rare opportunity for our art students and faculty and a great resource for our community. It's a must-see on the San Antonio art tour."
In downtown San Antonio, the UTSA Satellite Space hosts 12 free exhibitions each year by local, regional and international artists. During First Fridays alone, the gallery welcomes more than 1,000 visitors.
For an appointment or private showing, contact Connie Swann, UTSA Satellite Space coordinator, at (210) 458-4391 (Department of Art and Art History) or (210) 212-7146 (gallery).

Ruud, Ward encourage sneaker donations
The Women's Center of Mid-Minnesota, Sen. Carrie Ruud and Rep. John Ward encourage residents to donate their unwanted sneakers to benefit the Women's Center of Mid-Minnesota and Sexual Assault Services.
All shoes are valuable. Shoes that are used, but not used up, will be given to individuals in need. Shoes with holes will be recycled and the Women's Center of Mid-Minnesota will receive 50 cents per pound for recycled shoes.
"We all have a pair or two of old sneakers we no longer need. Instead of tossing them in the garbage, this is a great opportunity to help those in need and a great organization in our community," said Ruud.
Shoes should be tied together, placed in a plastic grocery bag and dropped off at either Mills Ford in Baxter or Pamela's Hair Studio at 1803 Oak St. in Brainerd.

A Look at This Past Weekend's TaKe-On Event in NYC
- Published in Muay Thai
- Written by Dave Walsh
- 0
This past weekend TaKe On Productions returned to New York City putting on a big casino show and dazzling fans as always. The main event saw Wayne Barrett put a beating on Stahinja Ivonovic from DC and show everyone what NYC's Muay Thai scene is made of. He scored the stoppage in Round 2 after Ivonovic called it quits after being outclassed. The other big fight of the evening saw New York Muay Thai's Sean Fagan take on Sitan's Omar Estevez for Fagan's TKO 145lbs Championship. They had a back-and-forth five round war before Fagan was declared the winner and retained the title in a tough battle.
The WKA 155lbs Title was up for grabs as well with Stoney Morales taking a battering in round three which led to the stoppage, leaving Rich Brattole standing strong with the title in his grasp.
For full results check out Cory Braiterman's full write up here.
There was also a big announcement from TaKe-On that Rami Ibrahim of Sitan Gym will be headlining the next TaKe-On event on April 26th.

There's no question that the students here at McNally Smith are always up to exciting new things, whether it's promoting new albums by their friends or themselves, or hitting the keys on the piano that recently found its way to the corner outside our campus (and that can really only happen here).
But while I regularly hear about and get to see students and their work, it's not so often that I get to actually chat with them about it one-on-one. I recently did just that with Dan Comerchero, a Music Production student who's been involved in new projects left and right since he began studying at McNally Smith. His latest is a frequency ear trainer for audio engineers called Quiztones. Last month, Dan partnered with Audiofile Engineering to release Quiztones as an app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. When I heard about all of Dan's accomplishments so far, I knew I had to learn more about his experiences. Here's our interview:
Harry Chalmiers: Dan, I'm so glad to talk with you. You've been making waves in the digital music realm, and you haven't even graduated yet. Why don't you tell me, where are you from and what is it that brought you to McNally Smith?
Dan Comerchero: Well, I was born in Arizona and lived in the Netherlands from ages 4 – 10. After that, I lived in a suburb of Boston until moving to St. Paul in 2006. I guess what really attracted me to McNally Smith was how nice the weather was when I visited in the summer – just kidding. What actually got me excited about the college was experiencing the close-knit community of students with a faculty of industry professionals. Networking is so important in the music industry, so that was a major appeal. Unlike some schools, McNally Smith doesn't feel like a factory where you just get lost in the crowd.
HC: That's true. Anything else?
DC: I like how the faculty here have personal one-on-one relationships with students, and they're willing to guide and mentor you. Of course like with any endeavor, the more you put in the more you'll get out. I also dig that McNally Smith invests in its own resources and technology.
HC: Well, that's great. Dan, you're a Music Production student now, right? Was that always your plan?
DC: Actually, I started off pursuing an AAS in Percussion Performance. At the time, I was focused on becoming a professional drummer. I thought one day maybe I'd open my own music store or lessons studio to teach out of. It's interesting to look back on my intentions, because three years later – after various experiences – I know now that I definitely don't want to do that!
Soon my focus shifted away from performance, and more towards production, recording, and technology. Since many credits transferred from my performance degree, I decided to get an AAS in Music Production. Soon a Bachelor Degree was within close reach, and that's where I'm at now.
HC: In other words, you adapted and took advantage of the changing resources that were available to you. Do you feel like this was the best path for you to follow?
DC: Currently I have two semesters left until I graduate with a Bachelor in Music Production. Even though I spent two years studying music performance and it's currently not my main focus, I don't regret that pursuit at all. There are so many meaningful events and experiences that occurred during that time, which shaped me and lead me to where I am today. I'm grateful for that.
HC: Have any courses or faculty members in particular helped you to get where you are today?
DC: I've had a lot of memorable classes. One that particularly sticks out was Dave Stanoch's class based on the concepts in his award-winning book: "Mastering the Tables of Time." His teachings opened up a lot of new musical doors for me. I still walk up the stairs subdividing in 3 over 2 rhythms. It was also cool to be in class with him while his book was taking off and getting recognized in the Modern Drummer 2009 Readers Poll as 'Best Method Book.'
Also, I think everyone should take a class with J. Allen, or at least pick his brain. I usually leave his Songwriting & Composition class totally whoa-faced. He's a wealth of unique knowledge about music & technology, as well as the most random things you could imagine – or actually – probably can't imagine.
Of course, I've had many great experiences in other classes with a variety of faculty members. Almost every class and teacher has influenced me in some subtle or extreme way, whether I was aware of it or not at the time. Also, shout out to Joe Mabbott for sparking the idea for Quiztones by quizzing our class with a tone generator in Mix Lab I.
HC: I'm curious about your pursuits outside of regular coursework. Obviously, you've been doing a lot of work relating to music and technology, and making it more available through the Internet. Tell me a little about that.
DC: I've always had a knack and an itch for business, marketing, and technology. To fulfill my raging entrepreneurial desires, I began launching websites based on some music-related ideas I had brewing.
It started two years ago with Staffnotes, a unique printable staff paper design I came up with in music theory class. Then this past summer, as I delved deeper into music technology, I gathered some talented writers and launched a pro audio blog called theProAudioFiles.com.
Currently though, my main focus is Quiztones, a frequency ear training website and app for audio engineers & musicians. My inspiration for Quiztones and theProAudioFiles.com was simply a desire to learn by doing, and to help others along the way. I feel that the most rewarding experience in life is helping other people. Getting that first email of positive feedback hooked me forever.
If it weren't for the decision to pursue a Bachelor Degree and fulfill my internship requirement, I never would've crossed paths with Audiofile Engineering, my partners for the Quiztones iOS app. That happened just two months ago, and it's scary to think what I would've missed out on if I didn't get connected with them. Now we're working on a huge Quiztones update that is really going to take this app to the next level.
It always amazes me how certain decisions in life lead you to incredible, unpredictable opportunities. My internship almost instantly became a partnership, and if it weren't for pursuing that internship, my reality today would be drastically different.
HC: Well, Dan, it's been great chatting with you and seeing how far you've come. I'm always excited to learn about McNally Smith students and their achievements both inside and outside the classroom. I'd wish you luck in your last two semesters, but something tells me that you don't need it! I hope you'll keep us all updated on your successes.

What first got you interested in perfumes?
Both: Ladies.
Simon: I can't think of anything else. It was a different use of creativity after coming out of art college. That's what I think. That's the official line. I like perfumery because it demands a bit more discipline than other types of creativity; it's a different way of looking at things.
Mark: Jeffrey, my perfumer, disappearing from the team and me not being able to sort out any of that outside... Afterwards, I thought I could have been doing it the whole time! It's like instructing a dog - sometimes they might behave, sometimes they might not.
Simon: I was compounding for a few years and I think that was one of the best ways to learn.
Mark: I used to make up all the perfumes for us and then for LUSH.
Simon: It's really good training to help you understand about perfume and how it is put together, even if they were only pretty simple perfumes. Then I got more interested in the quality of the materials, especially when I found out that some of them might be adulterated.
Mark: That's when it actually started to become more real. The sheer grind of going through all that to get the materials sorted - that, I suppose, really developed our abilities as perfumers.
Simon: Then it got so interesting that I ended up exploring new perfumes and the quality of the ingredients.
What is it like to try to buy raw materials that are as ethically sourced as possible, and how does that fit with your animal testing policy?
Simon: We're lucky because we've decided to use a lot of natural raw materials and we can afford to do so because we've made environmental decisions on packaging, which means we don't have to worry so much about the cost of the essential oils. We're trying to get things as directly as possible and work with people, farmers and suppliers directly in that country. After that, it's just really looking at the ethics of that and looking at where the material has been produced and how you build up a relationship with your supplier just so you can talk to them about environmental issues, child labour and all of those things.
Mark: I think the interesting thing for you is that by going out and visiting all these places, you're getting an education that most perfumers will never get. Simon: Yeah, I definitely feel quite privileged in that regard. These suppliers will say to you - when we were in Egypt, the guys were saying that they used to have people from Guerlain come and visit the plantations and smell the jasmine to ensure the quality was really good and now they don't get that anymore. They don't get perfumers out in the field; they don't even get buyers out in the field. So yeah, we're quite lucky in that we can still do that - almost keeping that little flame alive.
This is an excerpt from an interview with Mark and Simon Constantine, first published at Basenotes.

Funeral Payments
1. Overview
You could get a Funeral Payment if you're on a low income and need help to pay for a funeral you're arranging.
How much you get depends on your circumstances and if you qualify.
You'll usually have to pay back any money you get from the deceased person's estate (if they have one).
The estate includes any money or property they had but not a house or personal things left to a widow, widower or surviving civil partner.

President Obama — you've got much more pressing things to do than to revoke Justin Bieber's American visa, even though 136,000 people have signed a petition asking you to send him back to his native Canada. Do you agree, HollywoodLifers?
President Obama — it's quite clear after listening to the State of the Union address last night, Jan. 28, that you've got a lot better things to do with your time than to waste it ordering Justin Bieber to be deported.
Justin Bieber Deportation Petition — Should Obama Deport The Biebs?
Nevertheless, you apparently will have to review a petition on The White House's We The People site, which has garnered more than 136,000 signatures from people who are begging to have Justin Bieber deported.
Scooter Defends Justin Bieber's Parents After Arrest
The petition reads:
We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.
With all that's going on in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and with negotiations underway to stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, we really think you have far greater threats to American security to be concerned with, than Justin Bieber.
We also think that if the 136,000 people who signed this petition can't spell properly and use proper grammar, then they can hardly complain about the Biebs' "destructive" effect on American pop culture!
President Obama — You Have Better Things To Do Than Deport Justin Bieber
While we don't condone any of Justin's bad behavior — from swearing at police officers to admitting that he was high on pot while driving — these alleged crimes don't legally meet the threshold of deportable behavior, according to multiple immigration attorneys that we've consulted at HollywoodLife.com.
Legally, Justin can only be deported for a crime involving moral turpitude, and this is typically "a crime that shocks the conscience of a state, local or federal prosecutor," according to immigration attorney Michael Wildes. DUIs, and even resisting arrest and egg throwing, are not considered crimes of moral turpitude.
President Obama, with all the work you have to do with Congress, from raising the minimum wage to reforming immigration laws, it doesn't seem to be a good use of your time to interfere with Justin's immigration status and order his deportation.
That also doesn't seem very hospitable, when you invited Justin to The White House to perform during the Easter Egg Roll in April, 2010. Sasha and Malia Obama would never forgive you if you deported Justin!
Furthermore, you don't even have a reason to feel personally offended by Justin. After all, when he peed in a mop bucket, it was underneath a photo of President Bill Clinton, and it was Bill Clinton that he swore at, saying, "F*** Bill Clinton" — not you. President Clinton graciously forgave Justin for this disrespect, and if he wasn't pissed off at him, then surely you can hold back from deporting the Biebs.
Now HollywoodLifers, do you think President Obama should intervene and deport Justin Bieber? Let me know.

New Years Resolution, orgianize your tools.
Moderator, you can move this to the tool forum if you want but I figure this isn't something you "want" to do so if you aren't thinking of tools, you are never going to see it there.
Tool box organization
By Brian Martin
Well, today is Jan 2nd and of course we are getting a head start on all our New Years resolutions right? One of mine was to get my tool box back in order. It has gotten a little jumbled and needed a freshen up.
A number of years ago found myself rolling my tool box into new job at a shop. I had a relatively small tool box for a bodyman being I had a shop to store all my tools, the box was just for my simple hand tools. Well now all my tools I used everyday as a body tech had to be kept in my box, some changes were in order. First, I had to take everything out of the box that I didnt need. Then I had to move all the tools into the box that were previously in some cabinet on the wall, on or in a bench or another box that I had in the shop. Some serious condensing was in order.
I have a MAC MB1100 bottom box with nothing on top. I got this box after seeing my hero in the bodyman world at one of my first jobs and how he had set up his box. I had never seen a guy work without a top box. Emory Robinson had made a cart for a large bottom box with larger wheels. It had a locking side box on one side, and then a shelved rack he had made (nothing was available at the time) for his air sanders and blocks. The entire top of the box was clear and a bench to work off of. He rolled it around next to the jobs he was working on, he was way ahead of his time, a brilliant man in every sense of the word. Now mind you, this was about 5 or 10 years after working with him but that box of his had stuck in my head.
Anyway, it is a small box, just perfect for rolling over to the job instead of leaving it up against the wall across the shop! But its space is limited and I had to do something, I had to make big changes if I was going to work out of it.
I would be working on late model collisions so all the SAE tools were removed, there hasnt been an SAE bolt on a car since the early 80s so no need for them taking up room in the box.
For years I had my box set up the same way mechanics and bodymen had for decades. All the tools were divided into drawers, ratchets in one place, wrenches in another, air tools in another, screw drivers in another. etc. Heck, boxes were made this way, a top box would have 10-15 tiny drawers for all these little collections. Being my memory isnt so good I cant take credit for this revelation I had, I may have seen it in some book or something I dont remember. But having these tools that are used together all in separate drawers made less and less sense to me. Why in the heck would you want your ratchet in one drawer, the extensions in another and the sockets in yet another? You certainly werent going to grab a ratchet and then go to work with it, you needed the sockets every single time you used it, why have them in separate drawers? How about the air tools, most mechanics still will keep their air ratchet in a big drawer in the bottom of the box with all their other air tools. They will bend over and open this big heavy drawer, then get the socket to put on that air ratchet out of the top of the box! It makes no sense!
What I did was put all the tools I used most in the top drawer, the second most used in the second drawer and so on. I was a little cramped in that some of the more used tools wouldnt fit in the shallow upper drawers, but I did the best I could and just put them as high as possible.
I also put all the tools used together in the same drawer. No more sockets in one and ratchets in another.
I put the tools that I thought would be used most in the upper drawer, a combination of screw drivers, Torx, 3/8 and ¼ socket sets with the respective air ratchets and air impact with them. This is what I use most doing late model collision repair, what a guy doing brakes and suspension would a totally different top drawer. But it is amazing, these tools are probably used 50 to 75% of the time in my day to day work.
The second drawer had the wrench sets, and specialty tools like door panel clip tools, long needle nose, channel locks, wire cutters that sort of stuff. Then the next drawer are the hammers and dollies. The next, my ½ sockets, ratchets , extensions etc. along with rulers, files, etc.
I put rivet in dividers and got some trays, and tried a number of different ways to hold the wrenches finally settling on a cut to length one that Snap On sells. All these were temporarily mounted until I knew exactly where they would work the best.
I worked out of the box for a number of weeks moving tools from one drawer to the other, fine tuning my most used from my second most used, and so on. When I was happy with the lay out I went about making holders for them to keep them in place. I went on the Snap On truck and asked for something to fill the bill. The guy showed me in the catalog a foam kit where you cut out the shapes of the tools in the foam. AWESOME, that is exactly what I was looking for. I didnt know it, but that was exactly what I was after. I asked how much, ahhhhhh how about $350! No kidding, four pieces of foam was $350! Well, I went looking at Sears to see if they had something, how about $15.00! Now, this item is now $19.99 but it is still a deal.
I did a few drawers using this kit and I have to say, it is one of the best tools I ever put in that box! You can see immediately when a tool is missing, I havent lost but a couple in the years I have been had it in my box. You can find things RIGHT NOW, there is no wasted time looking for something. I can literally be sitting on the floor doing something and reach my hand up into the top drawer and without even looking grab the tool I need!
Over time new tools, better tools for the job come along so the drawer foam has to be redone. I had been working for way to long with one of my drawers all messed up and the foam not even being used for half the tools in there. So today I broke down and redid the foam. It took me all of about a half hour, done deal.
The nearby Sears store didnt have the foam in stock anymore. I decided to check the local foam supply house and found something very similar for pennies and got me some. The original kit came with a nice razor knife and a piece of white contact paper to draw your shapes out on to then transfer to the foam. I asked the wife and she had a roll of shelf liner that worked perfect. I used my Exacto knife being my Craftsmen one had lost its tip a little.
Start by cutting out your contact paper the exact size at the section of drawer you are putting it in. A whole roll of this stuff is only $4.00
Next arrange the tools on the contact paper. This can take a while. I actually decided to leave a few off that I had there just to clean it up a little. After thinking about it, I didnt use them much so they will go in another drawer. On arranging the tools, they can get pretty close without a problem, amazingly close. If you did it like they show on the Sears web site you could only get about half as many as I did. I put them backwards and forward sideways and intertwined. They should be as comfortable to grab as possible and do set them up that way, but to get as many as I needed on the foam I had to put some backwards. But those are the least used of the bunch, always keep that in mind.
To draw the lines around them, just remove them as you go, or remove one and then set it back down when you get its neighbors outline done.
The foam I bought was very similar to the Sears stuff. It is about a half inch thick, and pretty dense. It is a little more open celled than the Sears stuff but made of stiffer material so it is a trade off. I also got some 1 thick stuff for another drawer, Ill give that a try.
Stick the contact paper on the foam and press it down firmly.
A metal ruler and sharp Exacto knife make a nice clean cut thru the foam.
Cut along the lines of your shapes by sticking the knife all the way thru until you feel the surface under the foam. Slide the blade thru the foam around the pattern with the tip of the knife running on the surface below to fully cut it. Press out the piece and you have began.
On the smaller tools, you can slice the piece you cut out and stick half of it (or how ever much you choose) back in the hole so the tool rests nicely.
A test fit to find out if you are on the right track, and move on to the rest.
The long razor knife that came with my Craftsman kit is awesome for cutting the pieces in half on the larger tools like the channel locks.
You can adjust the patterns a little as you go as well. Here you see where I found that the little pick I was putting here needed to be moved down alittle.
Here it is complete before pulling the contact paper off.
Here it is with the paper pulled off, ready to rock! The holes for the larger handled clip removing tools will be black as well being the bottom of my drawers are lined with that very thin black foam that mechanics used to line their drawers with back in ancient times.
Here it is done as it will look in my box along with the few tools it took to do it. I cant wait to get back to work on Monday to put it in the box. Those three red handled clip tools, they are the BEST hands down of any I have ever used, and I have had every one to ever come out Ill tell you that!
This is a few pictures of my boxes drawers showing the foam in action. You may notice that the middle one on the right is where this foam I did today fits. This picture was taken when I was using my obsolete clip tools. The evolution of tools necessitates the replacement of the foam every once in a while.

On November 11, Here's What I Remember
Remembrance Day: A day for everyone to remember and honour our dead. But memories are not of a collective nature. We all have our own personal recollections. Mine, when I think of Remembrance Day, go back to WWII and the summer of 1944.
I was eight years old. The Germans had just retreated from the Arno River Line, allowing the Americans to finally "liberate" us. Although the war in Europe was to last several more months, for those like us who lived in Tuscany, the horror was finally over.
That November I visited the local cemetery with my grandmother. Together with the flowers she had brought for her parents' tomb, she had brought others and placed them near the white crosses of unknown soldiers who had died in our area. I was surprised she distributed them equally among those whom we called "allies" as well as those whom we had called "enemies."
"They were all men ordered to war by their governments," she said. "Men who fought for their ideals, who sacrificed their youth, and gave their life for their own countries. In that", she concluded, "they are all equal and worthy of respect."
Later, I saw men in the parade. They were veterans of two World Wars accompanied by a marching band, parading through the streets of our town until they reached the main square. Then silently and solemnly, a wreath was placed at the monument of the Unknown Soldier.
"Why do we learn so little from our experiences?" said my grandmother wiping her tears. "How many more deaths do we need before we learn to live in peace, together?"
I still didn't quite know what she was talking about. I was in junior high by then, imbued with the spirit of the Homeric poems, and the daring acts of its heroes. I had already forgotten about the real horrors of war.
But I was reminded of them a few years later, as I travelled south of Rome and saw the hills near Cassino covered with thousands of white crosses. The town had witnessed some of the most ferocious fighting of WWII and those crosses represented the youths of many countries who had died on those hills. Young men from Canada, New Zealand, the United States, Britain, Poland, France, Morocco and others. All were united in the fight against Nazism. All following orders, for different reasons and different national objectives... and all dead.
Those who return from any war are called "veterans," and their respective governments and fellow citizens honour them for having obeyed the call. For risking their life and sacrificing months or years of a short existence to often doubtful causes. For purposes not always clear, not always understood, sometimes not even honourable.
In a world that has seen and continues to see so many wars, destruction, death, wouldn't it be better to put more effort working for peace and understanding? If words like "let's go and kick ass" in foreign lands, would be erased from our lingo? If the veterans of one country, upon meeting the veterans of another country, would shake hands and together reflect on the ultimate destructive silliness of war?
A poem written by John McCrae, a Canadian soldier who fought in the First World War symbolizes for me the utter sadness of war:
"We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved, and we loved, and now we lie
in Flanders fields."

Music and dance will be featured on 10 stages across the grounds during the festival.
The Texas Folklife Festival menu is equally compelling, featuring delicacies that migrated to Texas from countries around the world. Famaguon Guahan, the "Children of Guam," join the festival this year with island-style Chamorry Kelaguen barbecue chicken and a selection of island desserts. For the first time at the festival, the Korean Association of San Antonio will serve uniquely prepared barbecue beef ribs, pork and chicken. Also new on the menu are Pakistani-style samosas, Lassi yogurt drinks and the syrupy-sweet fruit drink, rooh afza.
>> Visit the Texas Folklife Festival Web site to see the menu, entertainment schedule and festival map to find your favorite food booths, musical acts and craft vendors.
The Texas Folklife Festival honors artisans who have honed their exceptional skills through many generations and often across several continents. Talented Texan craftspeople, many of whom are first-time participants at the event, will sell their wares on the veranda surrounding the museum.
Purple Martin Propagators will offer a selection of unique bat- and birdhouses. Heirloom Musical Creations from Dripping Springs, Texas, will sell handmade, heirloom-quality music boxes, perfect for commemorating weddings, graduations, retirements and lifetime achievements. Old Time Photography and Petal Paddles woodworkers also will join the Texas Folklife Festival family this year.

Located on the UTSA HemisFair Park Campus in downtown San Antonio, the 182,000-square-foot complex features 65,000 square feet of interactive exhibits and displays that tell the stories of Texans.
The museum develops quality, accessible resources for educators and lifelong learners on topics of cultural heritage and strives to develop a rich and vibrant culture in the arts and humanities that will expand the community's awareness and appreciation of Texas through an engaging series of exhibits, programs and special events. Resources for multiple audiences are available at the museum's Web site, TexanCultures.com.

A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report makes clear that the failure of elected officials to agree on a responsible alternative to sequestration's indiscriminate spending cuts will cause immediate damage to the economy.
The report also shows, however, that ending sequestration without putting a better deficit-reduction plan in place would have serious long-term consequences.
"Although output would be greater and employment higher in the next few years if the spending reductions under current law were reversed, that policy would lead to greater federal debt, which would eventually reduce the nation's output and income below what would occur under current law," the report states.
The sequestration plans were part of an agreement two years ago to make necessary increases in the federal debt limit. The 2014 sequester would indiscriminately cut $109.3 billion, far more than the $80 billion (originally $85 billion) in sequester cuts this year.
Many members of Congress in both parties have expressed deep concern about sequestration but have generally been unable to resolve partisan differences to find a better alternative. That should be high on Washington's priority list as the next fiscal year approaches.

Security and risk professionals know what to do with security vulnerabilities: we mitigate the risk directly as best we can, and put in place compensating controls when we can't change the underlying dynamic. But in the age of the customer, upping our game in authentication strategies has forced us to take a harder look at an area that, generally speaking, is not our specialty at all.
User experience.
Last summer, Forrester published a Customer Authentication Assessment Framework that leveraged some exciting academic research called "The Quest to Replace Passwords: A Framework for Comparative Evaluation of Web Authentication Schemes" out of the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. (Gunnar Peterson has a recent post highlighting the arc and nature of these researchers' work, and even has a nice back-and-forth in the comments with contributor Cormac Herley of Microsoft Research.)

Mission Journal: South Sudan's struggle for a free press
The former guerrillas of the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) fought a 22-year civil war for greater autonomy and civil rights for the southern Sudanese people, culminating in South Sudan's independence this July. But local journalists fear the former rebels turned government officials still harbor a war mentality that is unaccustomed to criticism, and that they are not prepared to extend the freedoms they fought hard to attain. "We are still recovering from a war culture," Oliver Modi, chairman of the Union of Journalists of Southern Sudan, told me. "There is just too much ignorance toward the press. We are not used to systems, structures--even the media," he said, pointing to a list of eight documented cases of attacks against the press this year.

Lakers' Jordan Hill (hip) to undergo season-ending surgery
By Ben Golliver
The Lakers announced that reserve forward Jordan Hill is expected to undergo season-ending surgery to repair loose fragments and a possible labral tear in his left hip.
The extent of his injury was revealed during an arthrogram on Friday. The Lakers noted that Hill is "expected to get a second opinion" on the injury before he proceeds with surgery. Hill injured his hip during a Jan. 6 loss to the Nuggets and has been sidelined for the Lakers' three most recent games, all losses.
Hill, 25, was averaging 6.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game off the bench this season. The Knicks' 2009 first-round pick was traded to the Rockets in Feb. 2010, who in turn traded him to the Lakers in Mar. 2012 in the deal that sent Derek Fisher to Houston. Hill re-signed with the Lakers in July, inking a a two-year guaranteed contract worth $7.1 million.
Hill's specialty was offensive rebounding and energy. His absence makes life even more difficult for coach Mike D'Antoni, who is currently without starting center Dwight Howard, sidelined with a shoulder injury, and starting forward Pau Gasol, who suffered a concussion when he took an elbow to the face against the Nuggets. D'Antoni has been forced to start rookie center Robert Sacre and seldom-used Earl Clark in the absence of his big men. The only other currently available power forward or center on the roster is Antawn Jamison.
The Lakers' roster currently stands at 14 players after Darius Johnson-Odom was waived last week, giving GM Mitch Kupchak one available roster spot to work with. Los Angeles is 15-21, good for 11th in the Western Conference. They are currently on a six-game losing streak, but Lakers VP Jim Buss said this week that it's still not time to panic. Be sure to check out this SI roundtable on what's next for the Lakers.

Women's basketball coach Brian Morehouse, who this weekend is
taking his squad to the final four of the NCAA championships, has been named
the Division III national coach of the year by the Women's Basketball Coaches
Association of America.
The announcement was made at a banquet Thursday night for the competing teams
at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.
Under coach Brian Morehouse the Flying Dutch over the past decade have won
20-or-more games eight consecutive seasons, claimed six MIAA championships and made five trips to the NCAA Championships, including this year's final four appearance.
Nationally ranked among NCAA Division III teams the entire season, the 2005-06
Flying Dutch were MIAA conference champions and enter NCAA Final Four play
with a 31-1 overall record and 28-game winning streak.
The Flying Dutch play Scranton, Pa. in a national semi-final game on Friday.
In 10 seasons under Morehouse the Flying Dutch are 232-51 (82%). In 2001-02
and again in 2002-03 he was voted the District Coach of the Year by the
Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and in 2001-02 the Michigan
Collegiate women's basketball coach of the year by the Basketball Coaches
Association of Michigan. He was also recently named the 05-06 d3hoops.com
region coach of the year. He entered the 2005-06 season ranked eighth among active NCAA Division III coaches by winning percentage.
A 1991 Hope College graduate who serves as director of the college's Dow
Physical Education and Health Center and DeVos Fieldhouse, Morehouse is
familiar with the Hope basketball scene having served in the men's program for
a number of years. He was the men's junior varsity coach for two years,
compiling a record of 30-9. He was a student assistant coach through his
undergraduate years.
He graduated with honors from Hope with a major in business administration and
minors in history, psychology and sociology and earned a teaching certificate
for secondary education.
Morehouse's basketball roots run deep. His father, Dean, was the boy's
basketball coach at Fremont (Mich.) High School and has been one of son's
assistant coaches since 2000-01.
His wife, Elizabeth (Liz) Hain, a 1993 Hope graduate, played in the college's
basketball program for two years. The Morehouses have two daughters, Megan and
