Mrs. W. R. Brokaw,
Rt. 2. Craig, Neb.
Dear Mother:
Will try again to write a
few lines once again. Suppose you think it is quite a while
between letters, but I've been waiting on you too for nearly
two months now. Am back with the Company again but have
received but one letter since your letter of July 13th, and
that was from George. He wrote that he was now on this side
and gave me his new address, as follows: Co. F, 127th., A.
E. F., via New York, A. P. O. 734. If he and Kenneth had
stayed together, he would have been in my company. Kenneth
is here now. I was never more surprised in my life when I
got home from the hospital and found Kenneth right in the
company. I was sure glad to see him. He looks well and says
that army life agreed with him and George.
Well, I suppose you folks
are at the picnic at Tekamah again this year. You are having
a fine day for it if it is like it is here. Suppose you
folks are getting ready to sow the wheat now. Hope the
ground is in better condition this year than it was last
year at this time.
Guess I'll have to close
for this time, as I want to write to George also. Am looking
for a letter from someone back home now. All the mail I got
while in the hospital was sent to me here. Am sorry I can't
tell you anything about Lee. I suppose you must have heard
that he was missing. Must close for this time.
Hoping to hear from you
soon, I am as ever,
Corp. Chas. W. Brokaw

The W. R. Brokaw family had a welcome visitor last Sunday
in the person of Arnold Anderson, of near Lyons, who was
accompanied by Jess Slack, of Bertha. Anderson was at Camp
Greene with Charlie Brokaw, and was with him in France at
Chateau Thierry when Charlie was shell shocked and Anderson
received a bad wound in his elbow. The last time Anderson
saw Charlie he was confronted by four burly Huns and not
until he reached the states did Anderson learn that Charlie
was not killed at that time.
Mrs. W. R. Brokaw received
a card today, written Dec. 6th, from her son Charlie, saying
that he had been released from the German prison and was
alright. He was in Switzerland which the card was written
and expects to be went home soon.

Died For Human Freedom
It is reported that Charley
Neary who used to live west of Lyons was recently shot on
the battlefield in France. He was several times wounded but
every time he was able to leave the hospital he would again
join his regiment, although given his discharge. He was
surely a brave soldier and died fighting for the cause of
human liberty.
Thursday September 5, 1918
Chas. Neary Still Alive
Good tidings have been
received from the battle front in France that Chas. Neary,
who was reported as killed in battle is still alive and
recently killed 28 of the kaiser's dirty dogs as they were
charging upon him. He has been wounded a number of times and
given up to die, but he survived the ordeal and is again in
the front ranks fighting for human liberty.
Thursday November 28, 1918
Chas. Neary Receives a Medal
Chas Neary, who was wounded
several times on the battlefields of France and reported
among the killed wrote a letter to his mother, Mrs. Mary
Neary of West Point, dated Oct. 12, 1918, from which we take
the following extracts:
" I am still O K after the
most severe fighting we have had so far, in which we took
over 2000 huns, besides the large number killed. In this
intense fighting I had a number of close shaves and
miraculous escapes from the jaws of death-a cigarette shot
out of my mouth, my rifle smashed to pieces, my equipment
cut in a number of places and a number of pieces of sharpnel
lodged in my ammunition pouch, but the huns could simply not
hit me.
O, by the way you may be
pleased to know that I have been awarded the military medal
and if anything happens to me before the end of this war, it
will be sent to you by his Magisty, sic the King.

CSFB Downgrades Roadway to 'Neutral'
CS First Boston downgraded Roadway (ROAD ) to neutral from outperform.
Analyst Gary Yablon says he downgraded the trucking and transportation company for two main reasons: Roadway is closing in on his target price, and he believes it's a better move for investors to watch Roadway build its next-day delivery portfolio from the sidelines -- considering the disappointing performance at New Penn, the company's next-day ground service delivery unit.
Yablon says New Penn turned in a very weak quarter with an operating ratio of 94.6%. Even with unfavorable weather costing Roadway 200 basis points of margin, the results were still below what he expected. Although New Penn is not a key earnings per share driver, he thinks it will be more important as Roadway's next-day segment bulks up.
Yablon sees $3.53 2003 earnings per share, and $4.30 for 2004. He has a $42 target.

Pennsylvania imposes strict liability for all damages where the injuries are severe or the dog previously engaged in dangerous behavior. The state also imposes strict liability for medical bills even without bad behavior on the part of the dog or its owner. In other cases, victims can recover full compensation if the dog owner was negligent or violated an animal control law.

- The Miller and Hake cases

- If your case involves injury to a dog, see When a Dog Is Injured or Killed
Pennsylvania dog bite law creates categories of victims and treats them differently. The source of the state's dog bite law is the common law, the "Dog Law," and the principal cases interpreting it, Miller v. Hurst, 302 Pa. Super. 235, 448 A.2d 614 (1982), and Commonwealth v. Hake, 738 A.2nd 46 (Pa Commw. Ct. 1999).
The Dog Law is the Act of December 7, 1982, P.L. 784, as amended, 3 P.S. § 459-101 through § 459-1205. The group of statutes at 3 P.S. § 459-501-A through § 459-507-A, collectively, is commonly known as the Dangerous Dog Statute.
The common law cause of action for scienter permits a victim to recover full compensation if the dog previously bit another person without justification or indicated a tendency to do so. For more information about the scienter cause of action, see Legal Rights of Dog Bite Victims in the USA. The scienter cause of action is the corollary of the "one-bite" rule. See The One-Bite Rule for additional information.
If the dog has never bitten before, this state's dog bite law offers two different remedies that depend upon the degree of injury. Injuries are classified as either severe or non-severe. A "severe injury" is "any physical injury that results in broken bones or disfiguring lacerations requiring multiple sutures or cosmetic surgery." (The Dog Law, sec. 102.)
The severely injured victim can make a Dog Law claim against the dog owner for medical expenses and all other losses and legal damages. The victim must prove that the dog inflicted severe injury on him without provocation. It does not matter whether the dog previously bit a person prior to biting this victim. The basis of this claim was set forth in the Miller and Hake decisions, discussed below.
The non-severely injured victim can make a Dog Law claim against the dog owner, but the remedy is limited to only the medical expenses. (Sec. 502, subdivision (b) of the Dangerous Dog Statute: "Any cost to the victim for medical treatment resulting from an attacking or biting dog must be paid fully by the owner of such dog.") The victim only has to prove that the defendant was the owner of the dog.
Severely injured and non-severely injured victims can base claims for full compensation upon the doctrines of negligence and negligence per se. For more information about these causes of action, see Legal Rights of Dog Bite Victims in the USA.
There is not automatic or strict liability under the doctrine of negligence per se. Where a dog broke free of its chain, leading to a dog fight in which the victim attempted to rescue her dog but got bitten in the process, it was held that the victim had to prove that the dog owners failed to use due care in chaining the dog, and that the violation of the Dog Law was the cause of the injury. Villaume v. Kaufman, 550 A.2d 793, 379 Pa. Super 561 (1988).
Defense attorneys attempt to minimize the significance of the Dog Law and the Miller and Hake decisions. See for example Carol Anne Murphy, Defending the Dog Bite Case in Pennsylvania. It is undisputed, however, that the Dog Law states that a propensity to attack human beings without provocation may be proven by a single incident (Hake, below) and that the single incident of an attack on a human does not have to produce a severe injury to trigger liability. See Commonwealth v. Austin, 2004 WL 7846284 at 2 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2004); Commonwealth v. Baldwin, ____ Pa. Cmwlth. ____, 767 A.2d 644 (2001).
The Dangerous Dog Law
Section 459-305. CONFINEMENT OF DOGS
It shall be unlawful for the owner or keeper of any dog to fail to keep at all times such dog either:
(1) confined within the premises of the owner;
(2) firmly secured by means of a collar and chain or other devise so that it cannot stray beyond the premises on which it is secured; or,
(3) under the reasonable control of some person, or when engaged in lawful hunting, exhibition or field training.
Section 502-A. REGISTRATION
(a) SUMMARY OFFENSE OF HARBORING A DANGEROUS DOG - Any person who has been attacked by one or more dogs, or anyone on behalf of such person, a person whose domestic animal has been killed or injured without provocation, the State dog warden or the local police officer may file a complaint before a district justice, charging the owner or keeper of such a dog with harboring a dangerous dog. The owner or keeper of a dog shall be guilty of the summary offense of harboring a dangerous dog if the district justice finds beyond a reasonable doubt that the following elements of the offense have been proven:
(1) The dog has done one or more of the following:
(i) Inflicted severe injury on a human being without provocation on public or private property.
(ii) Killed or inflicted severe injury on a domestic animal without provocation while off the owner's property.
(iii) Attacked a human being without provocation.
(iv) Been used in the commission of a crime.
(2) The dog has either or both of the following:
(i) A history of attacking human beings and/or domestic animals without provocation.
(ii) A propensity to attack human beings and/or domestic animals without provocation. A propensity to attack may be proven by a single incident of the conduct described in paragraphs (1)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv).
(3) The defendant is the owner or keeper of the dog.
(a.1) EFFECT OF CONVICTION - A finding by a district justice that a person is guilty, under subsection (a), of harboring a dangerous dog shall constitute a determination that the dog is a dangerous dog for purposes of this act.
(c) ATTACKS CAUSING SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH - The owner of any dog that, through the intentional, reckless or negligent conduct the dog's owner, aggressively attacks and causes severe injury or death of any human shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree. In addition, the dog shall be immediately confiscated by a State dog warden or a police officer, placed in quarantine for the proper length of time and thereafter humanely killed in a expeditious manner, with costs of quarantine and destruction to be borne by the dog's owner.
The Miller and Hake Cases
Miller v. Hurst, 302 Pa. Super. 235, 448 A.2d 614 (1982) was a negligence per se case, meaning a case based upon the violation of an animal control law. In Miller, a dog injured the victim while the dog was running loose. The court adopted the statutory requirements of section 459-305 of the Dog Law, above, as the standard to be applied in determining whether a dog owner has exercised due care in the supervision of his dog. The court held that an unexcused violation of the Dog Law is negligence per se. To this extent, Miller abrogated the common law "one free bite" rule, under which an animal was required to be restrained only after its behavior evidenced viciousness.
Miller did not, however, completely abolish the "one free bite" rule. A footnote in the court's decision asserted that a dog owner may always show that the dog escaped despite the exercise of due care, and that in such cases negligence would not be found. The footnote explicitly rejected imposing absolute liability upon the dog owner in every case.
Following the Miller decision, revisions to the Dog Law were enacted. Additional criminal penalties were imposed if the injury to the victim was severe.
In Commonwealth v. Hake 738 A.2nd 46 (Pa. Commw. Ct. 1999) it was held that a single incident of infliction of severe injury imposes criminal liability under the above statute, therefore eliminating the "one free bite" interpretation under the prior version of the Dangerous Dog Statute. The Court stated:
"The 1996 amendments to the Statute no longer require that the dog be found specifically 'dangerous.' After the amendments, the Statute imposes liability where any of the following situations arise:
a dog, while on public or private property, inflicts severe injury on a human being without provocation; or
attacks a human being without provocation and where the dog has either (or both) a history of attacking human beings or animals without provocation or a propensity to attack human beings and/or domestic animals without provocation.
Most importantly, the 1996 amendments specifically provide that the propensity to attack may be proven by a single incident of the infliction of severe injury or attack on a human being, clearly permitting a finding of a 'propensity' to attack human beings by virtue of the attack in question, even if it is only the first attack.
Without permitting a strict liability interpretation of this statute, the difficulty of establishing culpability for injuries would surely frustrate the purpose of the Statute.
The 1996 amendments effectively removed the previous 'one free bite' interpretation and the Statute now permits liability for the dog's first bite."
Landlord liability
The federal court in Gallick v. Barto, 828 F. Supp. 1168, 1174-1175 (M.D. Pa. 1993), quoting Palermo v. Nails, 334 Pa. Super. 544, 547-548, 483 A.2d 871, 873 (1984), and applying Pennsylvania law, held that "'a landlord . . . may be held liable for injuries by animals owned and maintained by his tenant when the landlord has knowledge of the presence of the dangerous animal and where he has the right to control or remove the animal by retaking possession of the premises.'"
Further reading
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has a special web site for the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement.
The Pennsylvania Code contains the regulations pertaining to dogs. The Dangerous Dog Law at 3 P.S. § 459-502-A is not a penal statute under the Crimes Code (Title 18), but is a regulatory statute, administered and enforced by the Department of Agriculture (Title 7, Chapter 27 of the Pa. Code). See Commonwealth v. Hake 738 A.2nd 46 at footnote 3.
The Pennsylvania rules pertaining to the settlement of claims by minors: Rule 2039 (settlement of claim involving a minor), Rule 5101 (minor's settlement less than $25,000 can be received by minor or his parents but must be invested pursuant to the court's direction), Rule 5112 (if settlement exceeds $25,000, parents cannot act as guardians unless they are co-guardians with a fiduciary), Rule 5121 (guardian is required to post a bond), Rule 5145 (guardian is required to obey the prudent investor rule provided by Ch. 72).

Please explain how the Constitution provides for a system of separation of powers and checks and balances.
1 Answer | Add Yours
The Constitution does this by setting up a system where there are three branches of government. Each of these branches has its own powers. The legislative branch cannot judge legal cases or enforce laws, for example, but no other branch can actually pass laws the way the legislature can. This is separation of powers. At the same time, however, each branch has ways that it can share in the power of the other branches. For example, the president has a part in the legislative powers because he (or someday she) can veto bills. This sharing of power is checks and balances.

The dearly deported Sean Collins.
Sydney band Kingtide is what happens when a bunch of absurdly talented mates surrender to the Rasta beats of reggae.
Lead singer Tony Hughes says the band, which has built a solid following over 18 months since forming, comprises friends "who have come home to roost".
The line-up features drummer Terrapai Richmond (The Whitlams, DIG), bassist Alex Hewetson (Swoop, DIG) and guitarist Tony Gilbert (Flotsam and Jetsam).
The group's recently released first album To Our Dearly Deported was named in honour of the band's Trinidadian toaster (reggae rapper) Sean Collins, who was released from Villawood Detention Centre to record it.
Hughes says the band has had one rehearsal since it began.
"There's never any grief in this band, just around it," Hughes says.
"What we play isn't complicated and everyone's pretty accomplished as musicians. It's all about having fun and breaking down the wall between the band and the audience."
The album follows the 2004 EP No Dog War, the first work to display Kingtide's feel-good grooves and "real ska", which Hughes says remains a staple for the band.

WAKFU Update: Fiesta in Bilbiza Info - 2013-07-25 16:00Back to list
Discover the new content that will be implemented with the update of July 30!
Read the complete changelog here.
Today, we reveal the first part of the new content that will arrive in game on July 30.
The second part describing additional improvements and bug fixes will be communicated in the coming days.
In this festive adventure island aimed to Level 85 and above, you will find new families of monsters, quests downright "Jelly", colorful dungeons... Only one thing will be prohibited: boredom!
The party will go on throughout august with two dungeons opening in the following weeks!
Before landing on the island, you can already read the Devblog that should give you a better idea of what to expect on this island, and watch (again) this trailer:
Relics will be very powerful equipment, but you will only be able to equip one at a time on your character!
And if you're one of those who completed all Almanax quests since their implementation on September 18, 2012, you might be interested in what follows…
To celebrate the implementation of the ultimate Almanax reward, which will be a Relic Insignia, we will offer the title "Almaniac" to all those who obtain it between July 30th and September 18th (11:59 PM Server Time), day of the one year anniversary of the Almanax!
From July 30th, your character will be able to reach level 125, and train on Frigost where the last monsters families have had their difficulty rebalanced… And their XP as well! If the heat of Bilbiza isn't your style, then you know where to go!
Also, the spell system will evolve as they will now be balanced up to level 200. Masteries, resists and damages have all been adapted. You can read all about it on this Devblog.
A Devblog was already posted about the Xelor, while the Stasis branch changes can be found at the end of this other article.
Take the time to read them and plan how to better use the respec that will be offered for the occasion!
- Gain and Loss of Citizenship Points will now be based on a fixed cost, and a percentage (varying with the laws) of the character's CP. This should bring real consequences to your decisions!
- Non-aggression state will now evolve: If you are being attacked in the 15 minutes that follow a previous attack against you, your non-aggression state will last 15 minutes (instead of 5), then 30 minutes, etc. until a maximum of 3 hours.
- Handymen will now be able to craft Dungeon keys!
- Gathering professions will be automatically learned: this will apply to all newly created characters, and also the existing ones. If you were missing gathering professions, the missing ones will be automatically added to your professions.
- Implementation of a limitation to 12 AP and 7 MP outside of combat. The current system limits builds to only a few viable sets. We noticed a very limited interest for unique and crafted items. The AP/MP limitation as well as the addition of more interesting unique items should solve most of these problems. We invite you to have a look at this Devblog, to get the complete explanation.
- Finally, some abilities will see their evolution adapted: everything can be found on this Devblog.
These are all the novelties that you will find for your Haven World, and that should finally convince your guild leader to start bidding!
On this month of July we will add terminals giving you access to the mini-games of Bilbiza!
We also want to let you know that in a next update we will simplify the access to rewards in the Trool Fair, and add new ones! We will tell you more in the next weeks.
Still, the map received a significant overhaul! Our goal: have more coherence with the history of the World of Twelve.
The complete changelog can be found here.

I'm wondering if theres any leeway for the Title on the almanax thing considering how many quests were either bugged and unable to be completed, or maintenance happened during the only hours certain mobs spawned. Dunno about the other servers but Nox has had 17 glitched/unfinishable dailies so far and i think ive gotten maybe 6 of those tokens back through dealings with support...
jackolo 26 July 2013 02:54
Will frigost gear be rebalanced in this update?
TheFleasGuild 26 July 2013 04:17
Hey why not use that beautiful map when we are choosing boat destinations rather than that increasingly cluttered list we have at the moment
SterlingW 26 July 2013 04:47
Yea you guys are right that i many quit this game because of unnecessary nerf now is AP MP Limit (LIMITING Fair Game play for ALL)

Let me get this straight. The Relic insignia is only for those who have a total of 360 almanax tokens right? That's a shame, had I known mounts were going to be replaced with this I would've saved all my tokens. Now I have all these costumes and titles from back when the almanax glitched alot and it looked like I'd never make it to a mount. It's the only thing I'm disappointed about, everything else looks pretty good so far.

Anyone who quit because of that is just ridiculous as nobody had ever passed that limit before anyway...
This allows you for more freedom now, not less.

Restaurant Review: 4 Legs Up BBQ
Posted by Jason on June 25, 2009
Recently I had the pleasure of passing through The Great Plains on the way out to Western Kansas for a weekend of family fun. As with any road trip, I was immediately on the lookout for a local barbecue joint to sample the regional tastes. After passing through countless miles of waving wheat, a quick jaunt through a wind farm and battling a slowly increasing aroma of cow manure, we finally returned to the likes of civilization…Great Bend, KS. Little did I know that this small town is actually home to the 2008 Grand Champions of the Jack Daniels Invitational!!!

The dilemma of high gas prices might be addressed if congressional leaders would all just get along.
From CNN correspondent Kate Bolduan's perspective, the political differences on energy policy are little more than a "partisan standoff" between Democrats and Republicans.
"Even before the votes were counted on the latest energy proposal, the partisan standoff was clear," Bolduan said on the July 25 "American Morning." "[T]hat bill, a Democratic plan to release oil from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It failed - one more example of the deadlock over sky-high gas prices and one step closer to Congress going home for the summer without passing anything significant on energy."
According to the report, the primary conflict involved opening federal lands to offshore drilling.
"The main battle comes down to whether to allow new offshore drilling," Bolduan said. "Republicans say yes, Democratic leaders say no. The dispute has deteriorated into competing press conferences, dueling poster boards and partisan jabs," she said.
However, this "standoff" would be eliminated if the Senate, controlled by the Democratic majority, would allow a vote on drilling - a detail lacking from Bolduan's report.
According to CNBC "Kudlow & Company" host Larry Kudlow, Democratic reluctance to vote on drilling stems from a fear of this becoming an election issue, which could hurt their chances when the November elections roll around.
"The drilling issue in Congress is a huge election-year debate," Kudlow wrote on National Review Online on July 23. "It could well be the Republican's last hope for November. The Democrats don't want to drill, even while the public does. This could be a Democratic waterloo and could actually help elect Republicans, narrowing anticipated GOP losses in the election."

'Black Bus' Looks at Women Who Left Hasidic Life
In the movie "The Black Bus," — a selection at the New York Jewish Film Festival — filmmaker Anat Zuria uses the Haredi-run "mehadrin buses" as a metaphor for the lives of two young women who have broken away from their Hasidic communities in Israel.
The movie introduces us to a young woman, photographer-law student Shulamit Weinfeld and re-introduces us to another, Sara Einfeld, a young mother who left the Gur Hasidic community with her two very young children a few years ago. Einfeld gained much attention for her blog "A Hole in the Sheet," though the blog now seems to have disappeared.
"Black Bus" is a close look at the price paid by women who leave their Hasidic communities. Weinfeld and Einfeld are unable to have contact with their parents or siblings or friends. Even as they explain — to the filmmaker, to Haredi Jews who come to talk with them in the movie — why staying in the community was impossible, you see how much pain they're in. Particularly heartbreaking are scenes where Einfeld's young son asks why they can't go visit his grandmother, and one in which a visitor catches a glimpse of scars where Einfeld cut herself on her inner arms. In the movie, which was originally made for broadcast on Israel television, Weinfeld has left her community just weeks before, after breaking free of an engagement that her parents forced her into. Her sense of abandonment by her parents, and her vulnerability, is heartrending.
A young, more Modern Orthodox rabbi, Avi Poupko, is also featured as he tries to distribute leaflets on one of the Mehadrin buses and explain that nowhere in Torah is it written that men and women must be separated in public. He gets shouted down by angry hasidic men, and all but physically tossed out a window.
Zuria previously made the movies "Purity," about mikveh, and "Sentenced to Marriage," about women fighting for divorce from their estranged husbands in Israel, where all divorce is under the purview of religious courts.
An interview with Zuria can be read here.
"Black Bus" Luria's best film, but is a powerful look inside one of Israel's increasingly gender-segregated haredi communities and is worth seeing when it's screened at future film festivals.
While it's nice to think of all Jews as part of one big, diverse family, "Black Bus" shows just how estranged things really are.

For your compression ratio figures to be varied like that you either didn't perform the test correctly, or it's got a bore or ring issue or it's got some partially burned valves. You said the engine has been overhauled. How many miles since the overhaul?
22 hours since overhaul (it's in a boat)
What type of oil did you use in the break in process?
I used regular 10w30, but with a zinc additive
Were the heads reworked?
Yes, I bought a longblock
Is it using any oil?
Not that I'm aware of
When you performed the compression test it's supposed to be done with the power wire off the distributor,
I disconnected the coil from the dist, but not the power wire
all spark plugs removed
and the throttle set to it's wide open position.
Standing in front of the engine pop the right side valve cover, cycle the engine to Top dead center and see if both valves are closed. If they aren't or if one is partially open then I would say the timing is off on the chain.
In the past I've seen guys replace the timing chain and install it 2 teeth off and the car would still run good. If it's off too much then it won't run at all. Also I wouldn't go by the oem timing spec. SBC's like 12 degrees before top dead center with vacuum advance disconnected and plugged. Once it's set at 12 degrees, reconnect the vacuum advance to a manifold vacuum source, one that pulls vacuum full time including at idle. Then recheck timing, it should be 18 to 24 degrees before top dead center. Do this and it'll pick up considerable more power, use less fuel and will have far better low speed cruise manners.
it's a mechanical advance distributor if I'm not mistaken. (it's in a boat)
What size camshaft did you use?
It's a Sealed power cs1043m. I can't find hardly any info on it. The guy I bought the engine from didn't have much info either
Is the power wire to the distributor going to cause the compression test to be that far off? I'll re check it with that wire removed. I also shot a little oil down cylinders 2468 and got no difference in psi.

Kalmadi has to decide on IOA chief: Tarlochan
The IOA Vice President says that corruption charges against Kalmadi have tainted the Olympic movement in India.
New Delhi: Indian Olympic Association (IOA) Vice President Tarlochan Singh on Thursday said that corruption charges against former Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Suresh Kalmadi have tainted the Olympic movement in India and he (Kalmadi) has to decide what he wants to do.
Singh said that Kalmadi has a long legal battle ahead of him even though he has been released on bail in the Commonwealth Games scam. He also backed VK Malhotra continuing as IOA chief despite Kalmadi coming out of the jail.
"We are few month away from Olympic so VK Malhotra should continue (as IOA President). Commonwealth Games corruption allegation has tainted not just the IOA but also Olympic movement in the country. Suresh Kalmadi has long legal battle to fight. But VK Malhotra should continue as President. We have vested all power and support of the members. It's up to Kalmadi to decided what he wants to do," said Singh.
Kalmadi had nominated Malhotra as the Acting President of the IOA before being arrested for alleged corruption in the conduct of the Commonwealth Games in 2010.
The anti-Kalmadi group in the IOA has raised questions on how a tainted official could become President again, particularly when a corruption case has been filed against him.
"How can he become the IOA President again? He should take into account public furore and sentiments and stay away from any position till he clears his name," a top official said.
Kalmadi's presence will also add a new dimension to the IOA elections, scheduled for later in 2012. Kalmadi was arrested by the CBI on April 25, 2011 in the Timing, Scoring and Result system scam.
Kalmadi had moved the High Court in January, seeking bail citing the Supreme Court's judgment in 2G spectrum case and said it has been held that "bail is rule and jail is exception".

Embracing Commercial Projects
The last three years have been challenging for our industry. The direct impact of the unstable housing market sent shockwaves of uncertainty through the economy and our clientele. Residential projects were cancelled or put on hold and homeowners lost interest as their focus shifted to survival mode. In these challenging times, some integrators have found an opportunity to expand their offering and grow into new markets.
Bryce Nordstrand, owner of Redlands, Calif.-based Frequency, is one of the integrators who made this shift. Five years ago, Nordstrand embraced the changing economy and set to increase his revenue by expanding his clientele to include commercial projects within his local market. With 70 percent of his business now dedicated to commercial projects, it is clear to Nordstrand that what began as a single opportunity has now become a steady success.
"We've had about 40 percent growth because of commercial projects," said Nordstrand. "If we didn't have commercial, we wouldn't be in business."
Nordstrand carries pride in his firm's ability to not only secure commercial projects, but to deliver them on time while exceeding his client's expectations. One such client, SportsWatch Bar & Grill, located in Highland, Calif., holds a special place in Frequency's execution accomplishments. Installed in just eight weeks, this casual yet modern outfit stands out among local bars and restaurants for its smart design and technological prowess. SportsWatch Bar & Grill is among the many businesses who strive to increase their technological offering in order to lure clients, a trend that will likely increase in 2012.
"We've done about five or six jobs for this client, but this is the largest," Nordstrand noted. "It all comes down to being able to offer the right products and solutions, and then coming through on those promises. The promise is to give something really impactful. When you walk in, it's visually overwhelming."

In other news; we spent the day yesterday wondering around Bridgetown. Typical Rob and Dre style of doing nothing but walking around. Took a few pictures, ate roti, drank banks beer etc. We were back to our house around noon in time to have more flying fish on the board walk, more banks, and a shockingly delicious Pina Colada.
Spent most of the afternoon in a food coma on the beach, either sleeping or floating. Magic. We headed as a family unit over to Just Grillin, and mowed down some dolphin and jerk chicken before heading back over to Bert's Bar to catch the hockey game.
At Bert's we met a guy named Doug who not only knew sweet card tricks but is also the sales rep for Stoney Ridge Winery. Small world. Unfortunatly out of no where the Leaf's game turned into the Sens game when Eugene Melnyk arrived on the island and starting watching it at home. Since the bar steals his internet feed we we're S.O.L as far as the leafs go. It's not every day the owner of a rival hockey team shows up on the island you happen to be vacationing on forcing you to watch his stupid team. effer. How to deal... order another bucket of Banks and carry on.
This morning Rob's dad, Geoff took us all around the island showing us some things. We went to Gun Hill, and St. John' church. St. John's Church is a beautiful old church with old tomb from the 1800's. I love old cemeteries. I find them so peaceful and interesting. It didn't hurt that the church over looked one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. We kept driving around the coast up and down some insano steep hills praying the van would make it up. Then had a beautiful lunch at a place called Edge Water. Shocking.. more flying fish, banks and Pina Colada's. After a few more stops at other beautiful look out points we made our way back to the hotel for nap time.
Takin it easy tonight.. banks and euchre. Although, whenever I play euchre it tends to get later and later and later as I get more and more inebriated. Maybe one day I'll learn.....

|Minimum Stay
|3 - 4 nights
An architect apartment, south facing, elegant, clear and structured by glass walls that draw a clear and arty universe superlatively staff. A version in white and deep black powder that oppose transparency games stimulated by glass walls which meet anthracite walls. A long corridor leads 180 square meters of balance and refinement open on rooms and bathroom and the kitchen. A restructuring of space, crackling energy, revealing a toned world where rare items and photographs collections nestle themselves.
Under the gold suspensions into hemispheres of Catellani & Smith, the kitchen clear and rational "B1" Bulthaup, had to express a form of benevolent neutrality. This is where we juggles alimentset that organizes dinners on the big white table Piero Lissoni. Punctuated discrete arty touches with a "YES" frank Sandra Lecoq and inclusions "Paint Box" and "art Caran."
The amateur spirit cabinet snaking from room to room invests the large living room where elegant silhouette of a grand piano is cut. While the expressive photographs of Anthony Mirial explore human nature and meet echoing the daily ranges. forms of games and subtle balance around a classical fireplace with a dreamlike installation Cynthia Lemesle & Jean-Philippe Roubaud, armchairs "Utrecht" Rietveld and a sofa Cassina signed.
In the rooms open on a large dressing room B & B Italia, the design icons natural place. Inspired by Pop Art and stressing the preference of Gaetano Pesce for anthropomorphic forms, exuberant chairs "UP5" & "UP6" extend into the dressing room by the seat sculpture "Seven Up" shaped oversize walk also Gaetano Pesce. Opposite the bed, bunk tables Pascal Goujon and Antoine Aguilar subtly sidestep the eternal quarrel between abstraction and figuration.
Designed by Design Loft, a bathroom with clear lines where the shower and bath spaces are separated by a glass wall. Bath island and twin basins with base towel "Starck X". Version sixties, around the double mirror "Wedge," a lamp "Stilnovo" sheet and "Panton chair".
It's a little world inhabited and sensitive, which by successive touches, invests the space and draws an intuitive scenography.
I will be glad to organize your stay. I am the editor of luxury guides about Nice and so nothing gets past me, and I will be your private concierge during your stay, to help you to discover our beautiful city. (Don't hesitate to contact me for every advice, restaurant reservation, secret place....)
The apartment is a real bridge between the district of Notre Dame and Nice's old town. The Place Wilson is here with its magnificent post office building dating from 1888, as well as the peaceful Square Durandy in front of the public library. The buildings are in Art Deco, bourgeois and Niçois style, and also include some recent builds. It is the perfect area for those who love Nice and everything is in walking distance. It is Nice's most central district and very quiet. Shops are nearby, the beach and the famous Cours Saleya are 5 minutes away, and the apartment is only 100 metres from the Coulée verte, a 12-hectare greenway running right through the centre of Nice.
From airport: 10 mins by taxi, about 35 euros. Bus 98 is every 30 mins from airport to center of Nice, it is about 25 mins and 6 euros per person.
From train station: 5 mins by taxi, about 8 euros. 15 mins by foot.
Tramway is 8 mins, and 1,5 euros per person.
I stayed with my family in Alexandre's apartment for 5 days, it totally made our experience in Nice much better! The place is an art gallery, really beautifully decorated by him! The apartment is wide, comfortable and really charming, the atmosphere is great. The place is also incredibly located, it's just a short walk from the Old Town, the beach and the best neighborhoods. Every night we went to have dinner in the Old Town walking, it was perfect. But it can get better, Alexandre really knows the city of Nice and all the region o Côte d'Azur, he has even written a city guide of Nice with really amazing tips for restaurants, beaches, places to shop, attractions, and during our stay he helped us with many issues and gave us crucial tips for us to have a great time! I couldn't recommend more staying at his place, if you do so, there is no doubt you're gonna love it.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience staying in this HomeAway property, from start to finish! We were two couples who stayed here in late June 2016 for 5 nights. Before our trip, Alexandre was very helpful with providing information about Nice and helping to plan our trip (definitely take his recommendations, if you are able to receive them). Once we arrived, it was a pleasure to meet him. The home is beautiful – in pristine condition, clean, renovated, modern, fully equipped with anything you need, and in a perfect location. The grocery store is 50 meters away, and the beach, old town, museum, restaurants, etc. are all within 5-10 minutes walking. The unit is also a penthouse with a stunning wrap-around balcony and gorgeous views.
This was a 5 star experience, right in the heart of Nice and the French Cote d'Azur. Definitely recommend staying here to everyone.
My daughter and I stayed in this apartment for 4 nights. It is a truly amazing place. The photographs do not capture how beautiful it is. The space is vast and extremely elegant with a very well equipped kitchen and stunning bathroom. The beds are very comfortable which is an essential element for me.The location is ideal for enjoying all aspects of Nice. But I must admit I lingered in the apartment for longer than I would normally enjoying it's beauty and uniqueness.
The penthouse is beautiful and very accurate to the pictures/descriptions that were posted to the website. Everything was well maintained and a housekeeper even came in daily to tidy up. Alexandre is very welcoming and even booked our restaurant and beach reservations. He can answer all your questions about the area since he writes NICE Code, which is the main travel guide in Nice! Really cool guy and has the most unique apartment I've ever seen!!
Nous connaissions déjà ce superbe appartement en y étant déjà allé l'année dernière...
encore une fois absolument aucun soucis cet appartement est idéalement situé au coeur de Nice (sans être trop dans proche des quartiers trop bruyants et pleins de touristes...) il règne une atmosphère très agréable et un calme absolu, c'est parfait.
les 5 étoiles sont justifiées et méritées, tout est impeccable, chaque détail de l'appartement est soigné et décoré avec gout,
le propriétaire est vraiment très sympa (la femme de ménage aussi d'ailleurs...), toujours joignable en cas de besoin et en même temps totalement discret...
cet appartement est sans aucun doute notre résidence a Nice a chaque fois que nous irons avec plaisir.
Nous avons passé le long weekend du 14 juillet 2015 et le moins que l'on puisse dire c'est que nous sommes totalement satisfait de notre séjour dans cet appartement spacieux (180 m² avec 2 grandes chambres) luxueux et aux prestations haut de gamme, entièrement remis a neuf avec beaucoup gout et de qualité dans les moindres finitions... climatisé et en dernier étage avec ascenseur d'un immeuble de standing avec cachet (datant de 1900) et dégageant énormément de charme et de ..."classe"...
idéalement placé au cœur du vieux Nice, donnant sur une place (Wilson) donc vue dégagée et extra calme, proche de tout.
A quelques minutes a pied de la promenade des anglais et de la mer, du Negresco, de la place Massena et du cours Saleya, n'avons pas eu besoin de prendre la voiture du tout pour profiter de Nice et de tout ce qu'il y a, a voir et a faire.
tout a été complètement parfait et au delà de nos attentes et de nos espérances...
Propriétaire très sympathique et disponible et très attentif au moindre de nos besoins...même la femme de ménage (Sandra...) était très bien...et efficace tout en étant très discrète...
bref absolument rien a dire lors de notre séjour, a recommander vivement et sans aucun soucis, n'hésiterons pas du tout a revenir dans cet appartement lors de nos prochain séjours a Nice, car même le rapport qualité /prix est excellent vu les prestations offertes.
en un mot....aucun soucis, juste parfait.

Jason Smith: I really think he's going to have a solid college career. He's a versatile player who really excels on the defensive end of the court. He's legitimately 6-foot-6, 210-pounds but also has the frame to put on another 10-15 pounds during his career. His versatility is really shown in that he can cover two to three different positions.
CSR: What has he improved on the most in the last year?
JS: I would say his defense because what he has come to understand is that defense is the easiest way for him to get on the court. He's always been a solid offensive player but he's really become a great defender.
CSR: What are his biggest strengths on offensive end?
JS: His athleticism helps him slash to the basket and he really shoots the ball well. Overall, I'm expecting big things from him and I really think Iowa State is getting a good one.
CSR: What does he still need to improve on as a player?
JS: I would say his guard skills because he'll be a wing at the college level. He needs to keep working on his ballhandling skills in order be able to break people down off the dribble.
CSR: What type of person is Iowa State getting in Melvin Ejim?
JS: He's just a phenomenal kid who academically has a 3.6 grade point average. In his first year here at Brewster, his peers and teachers had him run for senior prefect which is essentially the same as student body president. As a first year student he barely lost to a student who had been here for four years. Iowa State is just getting a super kid. I'm really not surprised that he ended up there because nobody recruited Melvin longer or harder that Iowa State.

Joanne Ariola called to tell us that the rumors that she has left the Mayor's office are greatly exaggerated. Ariola laughed at the rumors and said that her mother called, angry that she didn't tell her that she lost her job. Sorry, Joanne.
If our City Councilman, Joe Addabbo, decides to challenge State Senator Serf Maltese in next November's election, as published reports suggest, then it opens all sorts of interesting possibilities for other local politicians. Reports say that Mayor Mike Bloomberg will support Addabbo, despite the fact that the councilman is a Democrat, because he wants to end the Republican majority in the Senate. Who would take Addabbo's place in the council? There's lots of conjecture that two of our local Democratic leaders are eyeing the position. Lew Simon has run for the spot unsuccessfully in the past, largely due to some past transgressions such as lying before an official body. Geraldine M. Chapey (the younger) has never run for office, but there are many who believe that considers this "her time" for the position. Then, there's Frank Gulluscio, who until recently was Addabbo's executive assistant until he left for to become the District Manager of Community Board Six. Other Democrats might come out of the woodwork for this one as well. Some Republicans will join in as well. Look for Joann Ariola, who represents the Mayor in Queens, to run. Perhaps some local Republicans from the newly-revitalized Rockaway Republican Club will decide to run as well. Should be interesting.
Speaking of Republicans, we have heard rumors that a new Republican Club to rival the Rockaway Republican Club, might soon sprout on the peninsula, reportedly backed by Mayor Mike Bloomberg (who might be angry at the locals for supporting his opponent, Tom Ognibene, for the seat). We have heard that the new club will be called "The James Conway Sullivan Republican Club" and that it is headed by two unnamed locals. We wonder if there are a sufficient number of Republicans in Rockaway to house two competing clubs.
Do you think that President Bush has dropped his plan for the privatization of the Social Security system? Think again. Page 321 of the President's new budget for 2007 has $24 billion for that purpose, an expenditure that raises to $712 billion in four years. Senator Chuck Schumer says that the budget entry is "a sneak attack on seniors and all of those who expect to receive Social Security benefits when they retire."
If our mayor has his way, every car will soon have a rooftop device that will alert police when the car is exceeding the speed limit. We wonder if there is any limit to how far Bloomberg will go to collect revenue from New York City residents. Bloomberg says that the new device, which really exists, is not an infringement on basic freedoms. "If I have a police officer watching to see if you are going down the street speeding, or the car reports automatically when you speed, is either of those things fundamentally different in its infringement on your liberties," the mayor asked. "We all want the laws enforced and when we have technology that can let us enforce the law and save money in doing so, what's the argument?" Did somebody mention "1984" or "Big Brother is Watching."
Attorney General Eliot Spitzer recently announced that his office receives tens of thousands of complaints each year from state residents who believe that they have been somehow scammed. Statewide, the major complaint involves problems with the Internet and with credit card debt or ID theft. Internet problems are also number one in New York City. The Better Business Bureau agrees. The most-oft complaints to that agency are connected to Internet auctions.
A roaring apartment fire at 40-20 Beach Channel Drive two weeks ago was put out quickly by firefighters from local companies using a new device that was used by the FDNY for the first time that day. Firefighters lowered a large asbestos cover over an open window in the apartment, keeping the high Rockaway winds from the fire and depriving the fire of oxygen. Fire officials say that the experiment was a big success and that the fire department is looking to expand the experiment.
The MPS Society, which seeks a cure for a group of genetic diseases that kill young children, will host an awareness game night featuring "Facts In Five" at the Island Park Jewish Center (191 Long Beach Road) on Saturday, February 25 at 7:30 p.m. Those interested in further information can call Joan at 516-432-1797.
Congressman Anthony Weiner responded to Rockaway's telephone woes last week by holding a press conference in front of the Telephone Building on Beach 81 Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard, nearby the site of the two cut cables that caused the problem in the first place. Weiner wants the Public Service Commission to investigate the outage and to bring sanctions against the guilty party. Calling both Keyspan Energy and Verizon, "Keystone Cops," Weiner says that the finger pointing between the two agencies has to stop. Keyspan says that its contractor cut the cables because the were not adequately marked by Verizon. The telephone giant answers by saying they were marked and that the gas company's contractors simply dug in the wrong place. By the way, those who used cell phones during the emergency may be in for a surprise. Because the local cells were so overused during the outage, the system looked for more distant cells and that brought "roaming charges" for many calls.
On February 10, the DOS put out a press release calling the period between February 6 and February 20 as the period of heaviest snow in city history. Boy, were they right. Up to this year, the largest snowfall (as measured in Central Park), during that period was 15.5 inches. Last Sunday's storm brought 26.9 inches to the park, but far less to Rockaway. We had approximately 15.4 inches, which is about the same as the February 6, 1978 storm.

Grace Coddington is a true one of a kind: from her signature flame-colored hair to her championing of non-cookie-cutter beauty, the Vogue creative director puts her distinctive fingerprint on everything she touches.
As a young makeup artist, I had the pleasure of working with her on a number of Vogue shoots, along with photographers like Bruce Weber and Patrick Demarchelier. I have such awesome memories of that time and learned so much about staying true to your style and vision.
So you can imagine how thrilled I was to receive a signed copy of her new book Grace: A Memoir. In it, she takes readers through her impressive fashion career and more, from her early days as a model to her current tenure at Vogue.
Beautiful, funny and so inspiring, this is one for the required reading list.

Chapter 2: Micro and Nano Fluidic Systems
Electroosmotic Flow and Zone Broadening in Microfluidic Channels of Variable Cross-Section and Wall Charge
|S. Ghosal and Z. Lu
|Northwestern University, US
|68 - 71
|electroosmosis, electrophoresis, zeta-potential, zone-broadening, dispersion
|Electroosmotic flow is often the method of choice for generating fluid flows in micro fluidic devices. The resulting flow has a characteristic at profile which has the advantage of very low axial dispersion. This is only the case, however, if the wall zeta potential is constant. In many applications, the wall zeta potential is variable, either through accident (wall adsorption of analytes) or design (patterned charges). An analytical solution is developed for electroosmotic and pressure driven flows in straight micro fluidic channels of arbitrary cross-sectional shape and distribution of zeta-potential, in the asymptotic limit where variations in the axial direction take place on long length scales compared to a characteristic diameter. A method is provided for computing "effective fluidic impedances" for such inhomogeneous microfluidic channels. The theoretical results are used to explain certain experimental data on CZE in a straight microcapillary.

You are largely a self-taught person, and yet you're probably one of the most erudite, intellectual people in your field. Reading your books is a fascinating and rich experience. How did you come to be so learned without a lot of school?
Sidney Poitier: I don't know that I'm that learned.
I did learn early that everything I want to do in life requires that I accumulate understanding, knowledge, know-how. What is the quickest, most dimensional way to make that kind of accumulation? You have to read. You have to read. I've always felt that I didn't know so much, and yet everything pretty much that I didn't know is available somewhere. The first place I went to was to newspapers.
[ Key to Success ] Preparation
I had an experience with a Jewish waiter. I was a dishwasher, and he was a waiter in Queens, New York. I used to buy the local newspapers. Sometimes the Journal American, sometimes The New York Times, Daily News. At the end of the evening, when the waiters are done and the place is closed, just about closing, the waiters would sit at a table, and they would have tea, coffee, or a late snack which was permissible by the owner.
I would sit in the dining room next door to the kitchen. And I would sit there because everything else is done, all the dishes were done except those that the waiters are using for their snacks, you see. So I sit there. And I'm reading one of the papers. And there was a Jewish waiter sitting at the table, elderly man, and he saw me there. He got up, and he walked over, and he stood by the table that's next to the kitchen, and he said, "Hi." And I looked up, and I said, "Hi." He said, "What's new in the papers?" And I said to him, "I can't tell you what's new in the papers because I don't read very well. I didn't have very much of an education. So I can't tell you what's..." He said, "Ah," he said, "Well, would you like me to read with you?" And I accepted. I said, "Sure. I'd like that." Every night after that, he would come over and sit with me, and he would teach me about what a comma is and why it exists, what periods are, what colons are, what dashes are. He would teach me that there are syllables, and how to differentiate them in a single word, and consequently learn how to pronounce them. Every night.
What a great gift.
Sidney Poitier: Oh yeah. I went on to be a very successful actor, and one day I tried to find him, but it was too late. One of my great regrets in life is that I never had the opportunity to really thank him.
You describe in your autobiography a sense of coming alive that you felt, as an actor, fairly early on, that the art of acting kind of electrified you. Can you talk about that?
Sidney Poitier: There is something that takes place in me, but it didn't always. It wasn't there in the beginning. What was there at the beginning, in my first experience in front of a camera, my first experiences on stage, was a totally dimensional awareness of life.
I hit the age of 15 not being afraid. I was on my own in New York City at the age of 15. I was respectful to people. As my father explained to me, to elders you say "sir" if it is a man. To elders you say "ma'am" if it is a woman. You respect older people. I learned from him a certain way of behavior. But what I learned was not in terms of something I got out of a book. What I learned was an internal connectedness to life, in the family, in the small community where we lived, how people treated each other, particularly how my father treated his friends and my mother, you see. So I came at 15 to Miami, Florida with a sense of that humanity. That is why I am sitting in this chair now. All of what I feel about life, I had to find a way in my work to be faithful to it, to be respectful of it. I couldn't and still can't play a scene, I cannot play a scene that I don't find the texture of humanity in the material. I can't.
[ Key to Success ] Integrity
You also connected with humanity very deeply, which is part of what made you a fine actor and director.
Sidney Poitier: I don't know how fine an actor or director I am or have been. But every person who goes into a theater -- and anyone who watches this video who is interested in theater or the creative arts -- anyone interested in theater arts, they enter a movie house, or they enter a theater with a stage, they sit there with other people, it's a darkened room. Their attention is on what's going on up there. They have five senses that are the tools they bring into the theater. They know, feel, touch. They know what they see objectively. They know what they hear. So their five senses are working, and they've been working pretty much since they were tots. So everything that happens on that stage, everything that happens on that screen, they can pass a judgment subconsciously as to whether we are hitting the marks or not.
There isn't a person that sits in a movie house, of any maturity, who hasn't been disappointed, who hasn't been exhilarated, who hasn't felt fear, who hasn't felt joy. Every one of the emotions that human beings experience, even the most terrifying ones, they have been akin to all of them at one time or another, either in their daily lives, their weekly lives, their monthly lives, their yearly lives. So that when they sit in that theater, that's all they bring in. That's the scoreboard they bring in. And they sit there and they watch actors playing at fear, embarrassment, at love, at hate, at all of the emotions in life. That's what they bring in. So when they sit there, and they're looking at actors doing that, they cotton to those actors that make that connection, makes that connection with them. And that's the actor's job, it's not their job. All they do is they bring this panel of human emotions with them. And these emotions are in neutral. They are absolutely in neutral as they sit there. And one by one, this really fine actress or actor begins to do things that somewhere in the consciousness of that audience, they're saying, "Ooh boy, yeah, I know about that. I've seen that. Wow." That's where the admiration comes from, because they can also tell when that actor or that actress is not reaching home.
[ Key to Success ] Vision
Just a few nights ago, you received the Lincoln Medal at Ford's Theatre in Washington, with President Obama attending. What was that like for you?
We are 6,500,000,000 in our family. We have one home. It's a planet. It's a planet that has not grown one single inch since its creation. What is there is what we have. And that is our home. It will be our home until we either self-destruct or until nature decides that it wants -- or she wishes -- to alter it. Until then, it is entirely up to us to effectuate our survival in humane ways. We have to find a way to articulate the carrying capacity of our home. We don't have a clue as to how many of us can be accommodated on this piece of earth. We really don't. There aren't but so much resources to sustain us if we are 6,500,000,000 now. Before you know it, we're going to be 13 billion. What we need is men and women who can think on our behalf in the period of their existence.
He is an example. He has tried to surround himself with people who are like-minded and who will tend to and nurture the place we call home, who will attend to and nurture different cultures. We will protect different faiths, provided of course, there is a mutual understanding that the principle is always going to be us as a family.
He's also a student of Lincoln. And Lincoln is important to you, too.
Sidney Poitier: Lincoln is important to me. Let me just say this about Lincoln.
Sidney Poitier: It is not very good that we have really not made a stronger, sustained effort to speak to our children -- the black ones, the white ones, the brown ones -- about this man. This man. It is because of this man, Lincoln, that we have a President Obama. Because the values of Abraham Lincoln were ignited in President Obama. And President Obama ignited some of Lincoln's values in his fellow Americans. And if you were to take a listing of the American population two years, four years, five years ago, the possibility of him being what he is today wouldn't have crossed very many minds. Would not. As a result, here is a guy who says, "I am this..." and "I am imperfect, but yes -- and I screwed up here and I did this there, and I'll tell you about it. And if you can tell me where I can improve, I will listen to you. My responsibility is to represent you." Well, I find him absolutely glorious, this guy.
[ Key to Success ] The American Dream
It sounds like you see tremendous integrity in him.
Sidney Poitier: Tremendous. Tremendous integrity. Great, great humanity. I wish him well. I don't know the extent to which it will happen, but I think the world will be the better for him having come this way.
We can say the same of you. Thank you for talking with us today.

Not all dimmer switches are the same, and if you buy one that's not rated for the total wattage of the lights it controls, you could have problems. Check the fine print before you buy.
Make sure the wattage rating on your new dimmer is at least as high as the old one.
If you're dimming CFL bulbs or LED bulbs, make sure you buy a switch that can handle the wattage and that can be used with those types of bulbs.
If you're installing a dimmer switch, keep in mind that each switch is rated to handle a maximum wattage. If you're trying to dim six 100-watt lightbulbs, use a switch rated for at least 600 watts. Newer models are fairly generous with their allowances (usually about 600 watts), but that won't cut it if you're trying to dim seven 100-watt bulbs.

You are herecontent / Senator McCain, Meet General Casey
Senator McCain, Meet General Casey
By Larry Johnson
Want further proof that John McCain is living in an alternate universe when it comes to Iraq? Check out this exchange on Iraq in tonight's debate:
Did you catch McCain's key quip? "I know of no military leader, including General Petraeus, who says we can't sustain our effort in Iraq." Oh really?
Well, maybe Senator McCain was taking a nap last month, but Army Chief of Staff, General Casey disagrees. The Christian Science Monitor's Gordon Lubold reported the following last Christmas Eve:
"We're deploying at unsustainable rates," General Casey said three weeks ago during remarks to an audience at the Brookings Institution in Washington. The Army agreed to a buildup of troops a year ago with the understanding that it was temporary, he said. "We can't sustain that. We have to come off of that, and we're working that very hard."
In fact, Casey is not alone. Lubold also wrote:
While there is reasonable consensus that a significant drawdown must occur to relieve the Army – from Gates to Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to the service chiefs and many combatant commanders – Petraeus may not see things the same way. An expert in counterinsurgency, Petraeus believes such campaigns can last a decade or more if done right. While he is mindful of the strains on the force, he is considered to be more focused on maintaining the security momentum there, analysts say.
So what did media stars Tim Russert and Brian Williams do? Nothing. They did a fair impression of a bobble head doll. Each happily nodding along as McCain spun his fantasy. Not one person tonight dared challenge John McCain on this point–something that was demonstrably false–even in the post-debate wrap up. Although McCain was a brave Navy pilot, it is equally clear he is now an addled old man who lacks the mental acuity to be a competent President. But with our "crack" TV media stars on patrol, they'll just humor him and let him skate until he actually gets the job and can do some real damage. And at that point the joke will be on us. Thank God (irony intended) for the Christian Science Monitor. Too bad more folks don't read it. Perhaps McCain might like a subscription.

How far they fall.
For me, any and all doubt that John McCain had sold out his great American legacy for the lure of sweet special interest cash was erased when the Pretender-in-Chief signed McCain's anti-torture bill, added a signing statement claiming the non-existent authority to ignore it at his own discretion, and John McCain was silent.
This is the same guy who spent five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, being tortured the entire time.
The same guy who built a great following in the 2000 presidential campaign by railing against special interests.
The same guy who was viciously, personally, falsely trashed into submission by Bushco in that 2000 campaign, only to kiss the ass of the crime syndicate that smeared him.
In days gone by, John McCain might have been worthy of the presidency. No longer. Not by a long shot.

John, I wonder if he duped us in 2000, and he was just the "back-up" Neocon? :(

"Rockets, Napalm, Torpedoes & Lies -Israel's Attack on the USS Liberty, Revisited - On June 6, (1967) the Joint Chiefs sent Admiral McCain, father of the senator from Arizona, an urgent message instructing him to move the Liberty out of the war zone to a position at least 100 miles off the Gaza Coast. McCain never forwarded the message to the ship. . . .
. . .. 'No one came to help us,' said Dr. Richard F. Kiepfer, the Liberty's physician. .We were promised help, but no help came. The Russians arrived before our own ships did. We asked for an escort before we ever came to the war zone and we were turned down.'
None of this made its way into the 700-page Court of Inquiry report, which was completed within a couple of weeks and sent to Admiral McCain in London for review.
McCain approved the report over the objections of Captain Merlin Staring, the Navy legal officer assigned to the inquiry, who found the report to be flawed, incomplete and contrary to the evidence. . . .
. . .But the book wasn't closed for the sailors either, of course. After a Newsweek story exposed the gist of what really happened on that day in the Mediterranean, an enraged Admiral McCain placed all the sailors under a gag order. When one sailor told an officer that he was having problems living with the cover-up, he was told: 'Forget about it, that's an order.'"

Farewell Thunderchild!"
- Thunderchild from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
Wow, I met one of the USS Liberty survivors... he tells it straight ...Israeli pilots knew they were attacking American ship. The problem is , they didn't kill ALL the American sailors, and the survivors talk now . So McCain Sr is the monster that gagged them?! Geesh, that's repulsive!
Read it again . . . sounds like Admiral McCain set them up . . .

"On June 6, the Joint Chiefs sent Admiral McCain, father of the senator from Arizona, an urgent message instructing him to MOVE THE LIBERTY OUT OF THE WAR ZONE to a position at least 100 miles off the Gaza Coast. MCCAIN NEVER FORWARDED THE MESSAGE TO THE SHIP."

Sorry I did not note that up front on prior post. I was just trying to get the word out that the sailors are ungagged, by the authority of THEMSELVES ! :o)
But the Congress participated in the cover-up, as it always does, the same as with 9ll. They don't want to know the truth because it is very bad news -- they'll sacrifice the sailors and the civilians instead.
As for McCain, I fear the torture he experienced was not enough to give him empathy for the tortured of Iraq. Maybe he was just giving us a bunch of BS about his torture. Apparently he learned nothing.

Albert Ahearn
A Poets Dream - Poem by Albert Ahearn
Hippocrene (hĭ p'ə -kren') is a fountain on Mount Helicon, Greece, sacred to the Muses and regarded as a source of poetic inspiration.
Mnemosyne (nemoz'ini) is a titan who is the personification of remembrance. She is the mother of the nine muses: "All nine muses have a science or an art to protect. Cleo protects the stories of heroes, Urania astronomy, Calliope elegies, Melpomene the tragedies, Euterpe flute playing, Erato love poems, Tepsicore choir lyrics, Thalia the comedies and Polyhymnia dance and music."
"The Muses love to sing and dance. They are superior in musical competitions and any one who dares to challenge them will always fall short, just as those who question their importance."
In a dream I drink from fount Hippocrene.
The daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne
Encompass me while I quench. Nine muses
Guarding their arts from human abuses.
'I'm not here to challenge or to question;
Nor I seek material possessions.
My presence among you in this dreamy
State is caused by my love of poetry.
And you, Erato, muse of all love poems
I'm a sleepy poet asleep at home.
It's known by some you sing beautifully.
Would all you muses' sing a song for me?
My thirst is quenched from draft of drinking cup.
Please! Please sing for me before I wake up.
