LDS pioneers who arrived in the Great Basin in 1847 were, well, squatters. I don't know what else to call them. The academic term for their development of the Great Basin is "extralegal," that is, outside of the bounds of law. They were stepping into the ungoverned and soon-to-be contested territory of the Spanish colonies, but even if their immigration was not technically illegal, their practice of polygamy certainly was. LDS pioneers were deemed a sexually deviant and threatening bunc … [Read more...]

Pope Francis Links Concerns for the Poor and the Environment
"Please, let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment."At first glance this is a counterintuitive statement. How might concern for the poor and for the environment be linked? Aren't they often mutually exclusive? Aren't humanitarians and tree-huggers loving different things? Can we be both Mother Teresa and St. Francis of Assisi? Pope Francis obviously seems to think so. Of course, this really is not new Chris … [Read more...]
LDS Belief as Ecologically Responsible
As I mentioned, this is part II of a brief investigation. I have spent a great deal of energy and writing on this particular question, so I make mention of some of these points at the risk of repeating myself. But perhaps now, stated in direct dialogue with perspectives within LDS culture that are decidedly anti-environmental that I described in my previous post, we can gain some clarity about how these positions might better understand one another. … [Read more...]
LDS Belief as Ecologically Harmful
I once read an excellent essay by David Kinsley entitled "Christianity as Ecologically Harmful" with a companion essay entited "Christianity as Ecologically Responsible." These two essays explore two sides of the same coin. I think this was an excellent exercise in helping readers to understand that a religious tradition provides many principles and doctrines that are important guideposts in life but there is nothing deterministic about a belief system that dictates certain attitudinal or behavio … [Read more...]
Interview with Generation Anthropocene

Smoking, Pollution, and Other Sins
The Utah State Legislature is contemplating a bill that would outlaw smoking within a car when a child is present. The bill seems to bring into direct conflict two of the most cherished principles of this conservative group of politicians: 1) choices about our own bodies matter because they impact others, especially our children and 2) government should respect freedom of choice. This isn't the first time we have seen these battles in the state legislature. They have debated similar laws c … [Read more...]
Stewardship and Citizenship at the City Level: Part II
It is easy, and understandable, to get cynical about politics. There are those who choose not to vote out of a sense of frustration because they sense that a vote makes little difference. I think this is a poor excuse, and I would go so far to say that it is unconscionable as inheritors of our freedoms in this country to not vote. My suspicion is that most of those who don't vote do so out of laziness or ignorance and not out of any reasoned political stance of opposition to an imperfect d … [Read more...]
Not Yet Full, Not Yet Empty
I am always disappointed by the apathetic but I distrust the overzealous. And it only seems that the deeper we slide into apathy as a society, an increasingly yawning gap stands between those who feel and do nothing and those who feel that they have all of the answers. It is certainly understandable why a radical and proportionate certitude would seem to be a necessary answer to the contagion of indifference, but I am not convinced that an apathetic or willfully ignorant society is any better … [Read more...]
Citizenship and the Environment: An LDS Primer
Before moving on to a discussion of state and national level involvement, I wanted to pause and consider the broader principles of citizenship, specifically as they pertain to people of faith concerned with the environment.

It describes the aim that a BYU education should be "intellectually enlarging." It goes on to say: … [Read more...]

Guest: Fightin' words from the state Supreme Court on education
"It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders…" — Article IX, Section I, Washington State Constitution
Last week the state Supreme Court ordered the Legislature to appear before the court in early September and explain its reasons for failing to make adequate progress in the McCleary v. State of Washington funding case.
Two years ago, the justices found that the state was violating its constitutional obligation to amply fund basic education in the McCleary case. Lawmakers were given a 2018 deadline to fix how we fund K-12 schools.
With last week's ruling, it appears that the court and the Legislature are headed for a legal and political showdown.More

As the UK economy continues to teeter on the verge of an almost certain slowdown, the main preoccupation on law firms' minds is how to mitigate such an eventuality.
The constant flow of transactions that were the bread and butter of most City firms for the bulk of 2007 has to some extent dried up, meaning firms are going to have to work harder than ever to source the work that drives their profits.
This can only mean one thing: tougher times lie ahead and in order to succeed firms are going to have diversify their business plans.
Stuart Popham, senior partner at the UK's largest firm Clifford Chance, told Lawyer2B.com that, while there will still be fairly strong flows of work in the coming months, firms are going to going to have to work harder to source it rather than waiting for clients to come to them. This means being prepared to travel beyond the confines of the UK if necessary.
The idea of sourcing work on an international scale is also being followed by the smaller firms working in the City with the likes of Herbert Smith, SJ Berwin and Travers Smith all focusing on very specific markets to drive their fortunes in 2008.
Travers managing partner Chris Carroll said: "We'll spend 2008 travelling more than we have been. We want to develop our legal network beyond Western Europe and the States to Eastern Europe and Russia."
SJ Berwin senior partner Jonathan Blake has also earmarked locations such as France, Germany, the Nordic region and the Middle East as centres for growth. "China, Russia and the Middle East will become increasingly important to us," he said.
Others, such as Allen & Overy (A&O), DLA Piper, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Norton Rose also noted the importance of Russia. A&O corporate partner Allan Paul said: "Infrastructure will be significant – maybe not in the UK, but certainly in Russia and places like that."
Freshfields senior partner Guy Morton agreed. "We'll invest further in emerging markets such as Russia and the Middle East," he said, "and keep a close eye on developments in India."
So while the state of the UK economy continues to grab the lion's share of headlines, in the legal community at least everybody is talking about assaulting new markets with the Middle East and Far East most definitely emerging as flavours of the month.

As blake started to think he stopped and try to think were he could be. He had no idea.
"Wait!"Blake heard someone shout from behind him,It was jodie.
"Just stay away from me you stupid little bitch,"Blake said as if words could kill.
"Look, what happened im so confused?"Jodie said backing off a little.
"YOU!"Blake screamed. "You happened! Because off you im nearly dead and Ryan... well I dont even know do I , he was running behind me but somehow I ended up at your house,"
"What do you mean its my fault , what did I do?"
"What did you do?"Blake scoffed. " What did YOU fucking do? What the hell didnt you do. You haven't been paying your bills silly cow! They didn't know were you lived but they had seen us together so they decided to send you a message."Blake was glaring at this point.
It suddenly dawned on Jodie. She was still due her dealer money. Her mouth opened wide as she thought it was all her fault, she could have easly gave them the money she just forgot. Now it had cost blakes pain and who knows what else?

Battery life My AA 3000mah batteries don't last 30 mins before the camera switches itself off, indicating that the batteries are flat. When tested on a multimeter they read 1.24volts.

Still no sign of murder suspect who bonded out of Orange County Jail
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - It's been two days since a man accused of killing his girlfriend has been seen after bonding out of the Orange County Jail Sunday on a lesser charge.
John Michael DeJesus told detectives last week that three Hispanic men barged into their Millrace Court home, demanded money and then shot his girlfriend, 22-year-old YolizMarie Borrero, in front of their 4-month-old daughter and Borrero's 4-year-old son.
Authorities later said the story appeared to be fabricated, and they named DeJesus as their prime suspect, but murder charges have yet to be filed against the 28-year-old.
DeJesus was arrested twice since Borrero's death, once on a drug charge and the second time on a weapons charge, but was able to bond out of jail both times.
Now, DeJesus' bondsman said he has revoked the bond, saying DeJesus failed to tell him he was a murder suspect and didn't show up to sign paperwork. DeJesus, however, has not been located for two days.
DeJesus is an admitted Latin Kings gang member who's been arrested 23 times. He's also a registered sex offender after his conviction for raping a teenager.
Records obtained by Channel 9 show DeJesus has strong ties to Puerto Rico and also has associates in Texas, family in south Florida and connections to people in central Florida.
Department of Corrections records show DeJesus also has a number of aliases, including King Peligro, which means King Danger, and Nathaniel Wallace.

Night and The Mountain
The night was far cooler than the day had been, up on the flanks of the mountain where the trees gave way to scrub. So much cooler, in fact, that it could be said to be colder than was at all comfortable.
Drakon pulled his cloak, now torn and water-stained, closer around his shoulders and watched his breath plume away into the darkness, a thin thread of white. It was hard to walk evenly over the rocks and what remained of the ancient town without light and all of their company save the bears stumbled often; even Urska, back once again in her slender human form, tripped and stubbed her bare toes and snarled ursine curses in the night-time.
Uncurling one frozen hand from where it gripped the fabric of his cloak, Drakon flexed his chilled fingers and tried, clumsily, to shape a spell. A good spell for stealth, this one, if he recalled the book he had gleaned it from; it was not spoken, but cast with the shapes of the fingers, and made neither sound nor light.
The magic was slow in coming, dormant with the cold and his own tiredness, but it warmed him in its awakening and the spell took faster than he might have expected. The shapes of fallen pillars and tumbled stones took form before him, and he smiled in the darkness.
Cat's-Eye, the spell had been called in the book.
It was short work, now he knew what he was doing and his magic had returned to life, to cast the spell on his father and Borysko; Urska would not let him, however.
"It will let you see," he told her. "Your feet must be sore. It will help you avoid the sharp stones-"
"Can see," Urska snapped. "Bears see better than humans. Leave me alone."
And she marched away resolutely, stumbling over a thick chunk of old masonry, snarling her displeasure. Drakon shrugged and let her go. The spell would last longer if it were stretched over three instead of four, in any case.
The crinaeae had told them, bubbling and giggling with the taste of summerwine, that the seers they sought lived on the highest peak of the mountain, where they would not be disturbed except by those with serious requests. It was a hard climb, the rippling little figure had warned them, although the mountain was not high enough to gain snow except in the depths of winter, and the seers would not be pleased to greet them.
Well, they will have to greet us, and they will have to give us answers, too, Drakon thought resolutely. I will not leave until I know what is going on...and, maybe, how to make Borysko aright again...
He glanced back at the warrior, who was lagging behind even with the Cat's-Eye spell; his rasping breathing was clearly audible in the still air. The young prince felt a million miles away from the boy he had been only a week or so ago, the boy who had run his protector a merry dance out of nothing more than idle mischief. Now he felt as though he were the protector instead, and a sense of guilty responsibility washed over him.
This all started when I cast the spell on Urska, he thought. I didn't mean it to do anything, really, just drive the bear away...but then, I didn't mean a lot of things, did I? I didn't mean the time I enchanted Borysko's bedsheets to feel like a bed of thistles, and he ended up having to sleep on a cold stone floor in front of my bedroom door...and I didn't mean the time I let those Tailor-Imps loose on his good leather armour, either, and they turned it into a leather ballgown instead, just when he needed it to deal with those men who had been knifing people in the tavern. I just meant to be funny...
He sighed. He'd never really thought about consequences before, and now it seemed he was thinking about them all the time. He supposed he could console himself with the thought that surely not everything was his fault-this must have been going on far longer than a couple of weeks-but still, guilt nagged at him.
But he knew Borysko would not welcome any offers of help in climbing this slope, and so he trudged on, lost in his thoughts, as the night wore on towards morning.
It was nearly dawn when they came at last to a pair of gates in a wall that still stood upright. The Cat's-Eye charm had worn off a couple of hours before, and they were all chilled to the bone from the cold and yet flushed and sweating from the climb, and the sight of something that wasn't crumbled and long-abandoned was extremely welcome.
"This must be where the Seers are," Alastor said, squinting up at the gates in the growing dawnlight. "By all the gods, let it be where they are..."
He strode up to the gates and tried to push them open, but they seemed soundly locked. He hammered on them, but nobody came; eventually he stepped back and regarded them with disfavour.
"We were told the Seers don't welcome visitors, Fa," Drakon said, coming up beside him. "I guess we'll just have to wait until we get their attention..."

Jenny Ciriacks, a freshman from Wauwatosa West, played on the Marquette University club volleyball Gold team that finished third at the National Collegiate Volleyball Federation championships, held April 5 to 7 in Kansas City, Mo.
Marquette came into the tournament ranked No. 1 in the country with a 37-1 game record, and beat tough teams like Minnesota and Texas before losing to the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the semifinals.
Ciriacks, who is the team's starting outside hitter, was named an All-American along with three of her teammates.
"I've never had a freshman come in and play that well and that composed," Marquette's 16-year coach Anne Pufahl said of Ciriacks. "Jenny played like she's been on the team for years."

I needed a refrigerator fixed. It is a GE model GSL25JFPCBS. It needed a control board.
This place charged me $230.00 for a refrigerator part, that retails for less than $100.00 retail. Wholesale the part would be about $60.00.
And charged me $185.00 for 10 minutes work, which should have been $75.00 an hour like he said over the phone!

Prologue - Interview Between Two Vampires (2)Mature
The young man's bright amber eyes, shrouded by the blue lenses of his aviator glasses, examined his bloodsucking visitor, as the latter sat in the armchair. Despite looking well past his fifties, the vampire displayed the alacrity of a youth, along with a faint trace of malevolence. "I must say I'm surprised to see that you are a Kindred, Mr. Peters… and especially, a fellow Tremere… is that right?"
The sinister vampire grinned. "Impressive, Monsieur Giroux. May I ask you how you reached such conclusions?"
"You may, Mr. Peters, though I'd appreciate if you'd let me be the one who asks the questions from this moment on." The young man reclined his chair and proceeded to explain. "I was able to discern that you're a Kindred by your aura's faint color. Magic flows in your blood, as it does in mine - as it does in all of our clan."
"You were able to see the magic itself?"
"Thaumaturgical Sight," explained the young man. "A basic combination of two basic powers."
Simmons laughed in his seat. "I must admit you have… perspicacity, Monsieur Giroux. Not that it surprises me; I knew I had trusted this matter to the right person." The visitor was delighted. His fancy black suit gave him a look far more snob than he actually seemed to be, although he did look like someone with plenty of self-assurance.
The young man's eyes remained fixed on the vampire. "Yes, about this 'matter'… you told me on the phone you wanted me to 'recover an artifact.' What does this exactly entail, Mr. Simmons?"
"Do you really want to know, Monsieur Giroux?"
"That is my job as a private investigator, I believe."
"Oui, it is indeed… Monsieur Giroux, you should know that I am not just a fellow Tremere - I am the Prince of Val-d'Or's domain, in Québec."
"That explains the accent and the usage of French terms, I suppose."
"And it hints that I wield a fair amount of power, also," the vampire replied with an imposing posture. "So this is the situation, Monsieur: the Sabbat of Toronto stole my thesis."

DETROIT -- Down three games to none, facing a better rotation in its own park backed by a lineup built around Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, how hopeless does the task confronting the Yankees seem?
As tough as it will be for them to get back to the Bronx, it seems as though they may be no more likely to return to New York with a live shot than they will with their dignity intact. Consider Phil Coke's postgame comment about his opponents: "These guys are a great ballclub. They're scrappy, and they're built to win, and we're just matching them."
The Yankees ... scrappy? When, in the history of the English language, or just American vernacular, has that ever been a word you associate with the Yankees? The next thing you know, we'll have to endure listening to Joe Girardi talk about how his team is just lucky to be here, and they're taking it one day at a time.
One pitcher's off-the-cuff remark aside, there's still at least one more game to play. If the Yankees are to take solace in anything going into Game 4 on Wednesday night, it might have to begin and end with the matchup on the mound, because they have CC Sabathia facing Max Scherzer in an elimination game.
In 2012, Sabathia was 3-0 against the Tigers, holding them to .238/.289/.405. So that's fairly promising, unless you want to start worrying about postseason-edition Delmon Young's Yankee-killing prowess showing up yet again. Given Sabathia's willingness to pitch around Miggy in the past -- walking him eight times, three times intentionally in 38 at-bats, having also surrendered a pair of homers and two doubles -- the prospect of a Young versus Sabathia matchup with men on could be the fulcrum upon which the game's outcome pivots.
Jim Leyland will no doubt try to expand the Tigers' scoring opportunities by mixing and matching with his lineup card. Avisail Garcia should be in right, for example, fulfilling his half of the late-developing platoon with Quintin Berry. Should the Tigers also start Gerald Laird instead of Alex Avila behind the plate? While Leyland generally tried spotting Laird for Avila against lefties, you might wonder why given Laird's feeble .204/.275/.347 line against southpaws this season. But Laird has a good career clip against Sabathia, hitting .417/.500/.625 in 28 plate appearances, while Avila is 0-for-11 with seven strikeouts. In a microcosm, these are choices that reflect Leyland's flexibility with his lineup. Lineup changes during the ALCS without any drama? Who does that? The team up three games to none.
In the other half of the game, at least on paper the Yankees' lineup would seem perfectly set up to exploit Scherzer's huge platoon split. This year, he has held right-handed batters to .201/.244/.343, while lefties hit him for .292/.366/.465, including a walk rate of more than 10 percent. It's worth noting that during his late-season run of seven quality starts before getting slowed down with shoulder trouble, Scherzer never had to see a lineup that leaned as heavily to the left as the Yankees' normal starting nine: six lefty bats, which goes up to seven if Girardi decides to have Alex Rodriguez keep him company in the dugout again and start Eric Chavez at third base.
Set against that, though, is the combination of the Yankees' absolute futility at bat in this series and this postseason. Girardi's panic-stations Game 3 lineup didn't achieve anything against Justin Verlander, and the Yankees' collective career line against Scherzer is a thoroughly woeful .177/.266/.282. So even if Girardi tries stacking the deck with seven bats from the left side against Scherzer by starting Chavez, he's got a lineup that's almost as punchless all of the time against him as it has been during the rest of the postseason.
However, there is the other issue Scherzer will have to overcome to become the latest Tigers' rotation stalwart turned October hero -- health. If the shoulder's OK, that's great, but how great, and how long before he tires? Add to that the ankle injury suffered during Detroit's dog pile to celebrate the division series win, and whether the Yankees struggle or not, this seems to cue up an opportunity for the Tigers' bullpen to make an extended appearance.
Certainly, that puts the spotlight back on Coke after he closed out each of the Tigers' past two victories. After Game 3, Coke hardly sounded like the fire-breathing closer, saying of his game-ending whiff of Raul Ibanez, "Alex called slider, 3-and-2, gotta make it count, and I threw it as a hard as I could, luckily he swung as hard as he could and didn't hit it."
Admittedly, that he got to do it against Ibanez, who had homered against him in the 2009 World Series for the Phillies when Coke was a Yankee, surely that was worth some strutting? Not so much. "He's killing everybody; my hat's off to him. He's done things that nobody's ever done in the game of baseball. He did take me deep in the World Series in '09, about 460 to the gap if I recall correctly, so I'm glad that I've been able to put all that behind me."
Coke doesn't exactly have a handle on his being the closer, even if he's closing, saying, "I didn't know I was going to finish it. I thought that I might have a couple of lefties, and then maybe [Joaquin Benoit] was coming in for [Mark] Teixeira, but as soon as I saw that there wasn't anybody was going to come out to talk to me, I was like, 'all right cool, let's roll.'"
So much for the necessity of a closer -- or any reliever -- needing to know his role, beyond a responsibility for getting people out. But the other thing you can take from that comment is that Coke wasn't looking for Jose Valverde to take his place, but Benoit. That says a bit about where Valverde is, whatever noncommittal "let's see how he feels" comments made for his benefit. Come the ninth, with a one-run lead, the Tigers weren't looking for Papa Grande to bail them out, not even out of a sense of polite inclusiveness.
There's something very Mitch Williams circa 1993 about seeing "established" closer Valverde surrender leads and his job in the middle of a postseason. That year, the Phillies managed to survive Williams' combustibility in the NLCS, only to see him surrender history to Joe Carter in the World Series. But even to get that far, the Phillies had gotten surprise relief help from journeyman Roger Mason, not unlike how Leyland has had to place his faith in Coke now.
For Tigers fans' sakes, you can hope for a happier ending for Coke and Valverde, but first there's a fourth game to win at the Yankees' expense. If the Tigers' bullpen can finish what Scherzer will start, that may not have to wait until Thursday, let alone a trip back to New York.

A/N: Hello there! So, I haven't written a fanfiction in at least a year, so forgive me if I'm rusty. I'm also completely new to the world of Twilight fanfiction (although I've read dozens, I haven't written any), so that also calls for some forgiveness. I don't know when I first got this idea, but I always wondered how the vampires felt, especially Alice, about how they can't reproduce. Alice always seemed like a motherly type to me…I always wondered if it bothered her. Anywayz, this was the result. I hope you enjoy! This was written with no beta, so if there is any constructive criticism, feel free to let me hear it.
Alice looked on as her husband played with the tiny Renesmee. It was quite a sight; something that not even the pixie-like visionary could've foreseen. Jasper's eyes lit up as he bounced the small child on his knee, singing a rough, yet loving version of 'Oh, My Darlin'. It was enough, if it were possible, to make Alice cry. She smiled a melancholy smile before vanishing into the kitchen.
She picked up a bottle of Windex and a sheet of paper towel before scrubbing furiously at the glass sheet that protected the wooden table. She had thought about this topic before on many occasions but this was all too much. It was visible now, taunting her like a cut of steak in front of a hungry mutt. She only stopped scrubbing at the table when she heard a crack beneath her fingertips; she had applied so much pressure that the glass had shattered underneath the weight of her trembling hand. She cursed silently before throwing the dusty paper towel at the table and hiding her face in her hands.
The singing in the other room stopped and Alice felt the muscles in her back tense up as she heard the sound of footsteps drawing nearer. She didn't have time to hide the destroyed table; she was too distracted by her own thoughts to even really care.
A large, familiar hand swept across her shoulder blades. Alice looked up to see Jasper watching her, concerned.
"I'm fine," she whispered, not quite meeting his eyes.
"No, you're not," He argued, placing a hand under her chin and lifting her face so that she could only stare at him. "Talk to me."
Alice hesitated before staring into the room where Renesmee played. She sat on the carpeted floor, singing joyfully and pretending to feed a stuffed horse a plastic carrot. Alice lifted one hand, motioning toward the happy child.
"No matter how hard we try and no matter what I do, I can never give you that." Her lip quivered, something rare for the jovial, optimistic wife Jasper had always loved. He furrowed his brow in both confusion and trepidation. Placing a hand on each cheek, he stared deep into Alice's eyes and spoke.
"You have already given me more than I could've ever asked for. How could you ever think that what we have is not enough?"
Alice fought the hands surrounding her face and looked back at the blissful child. "I just wish I could give you more than enough. After all you've been through, I think you deserve that."
Jasper smiled, watching his wife carefully. "I have you. That'll always be more than enough."
Smiling that same bittersweet and melancholy smile, Alice fell into her husband's chest, wrapping her tiny arms around his waist. This is where she has always felt safe, protected. She heard Jasper let out a comfortable sigh and was immediately surrounded by the serenity that Jasper was feeling.
"Uncle Jasper? Aunt Alice?" Their thoughts were interrupted by the sweet, innocent voice of their niece. "Can we play hide and seek?"
Alice hid her smiling face in Jasper's sweater.
"See that?" Her husband whispered. "We have Renesmee too."
Alice looked up happily. "Yes, we do." Standing on her tiptoes, she placed a small kiss on her husband's cheek before leading him to the room where the tiny Renesmee hid behind a chocolate brown sofa, unable to stifle her laughter.

With the posting of Grutter v. Bollinger I've completed my Constitutional Law 103 mission of presenting ten of the "Best" Supreme Court opinions.
When I began this project, I wrote:
My disrespect for the Court's collectivist-statist, intellectually dishonest decisions has hit rock bottom in the last decade-or-so. Affirmative action, national security, eminent domain, prisoner's rights. And more.
As a result, my writing and teaching has had an unmistakable negative, sometimes even cynical tone.
While I continue to believe that my reaction is well justified, I recognize the danger of painting with too broad a brush by not recognizing the occasional opinions (though not necessarily majority ones) which have respected individual rights, understood the necessity of limited government, recognized the efficacy of free markets, realized the danger of national sovereignty's erosion and national security's deterioration.
Hence, I have now created Constitutional Law 103: Best Supreme Court Opinions . . . And Why They Give Hope To America Today. Over the next few months I will post ten of those opinions, with my own introduction, to illustrate some of the principles which, in a better world, would inform Supreme Court adjudication.
In a better world of American jurisprudence, to erase the moral stain and unconstitutionality of racial discrimination the white Justice Harlan would not have had to dissent in Plessy in his futile effort to protect blacks, nor would the black Justice Thomas had to dissent in Grutter in his unsuccessful attempt to protect whites. Nor would a Justice Stewart have had to dissent against the Court's majority in its upholding federal statutory racial discrimination. Nor would any of them have had to dissent to protect the Constitution.
Nor would Justice Jackson have had to dissent in Korematsu, in his condemnation of federal storm-trooper treatment of American citizens whose only "crime" was to wear the scarlet letter "J."
In a better world of American jurisprudence, no Federal Communications Commission would dare penalize a broadcaster for airing "dirty words" in disregard of the first words of the First Amendment, that "Congress shall make no law . . . .", and no court would force unwilling Americans to make contracts with those whom they disdained for whatever reason, nor seize property in the name of a supposed or even real economic emergency.
And in a better world of American jurisprudence the Supreme Court of the United States would not invent an ersatz doctrine like "a right to privacy" and, with nary a nod to the Tenth Amendment, use "privacy" to invalidate the laws of fifty states.
Instead, in a better world of American jurisprudence, power—to discriminate racially, violate contract and property rights, censor speech, ignore federalism and separation of powers, interfere with free markets, and more—would be constrained against the federal government as it was in Lopez and against the states under the 14th Amendment's Privileges or Immunities Clause via the irrefutable template Justice Thomas has provided in McDonald v. Chicago.
If we want that better world of American jurisprudence, the people of the United States better wake up. They can start by electing right-thinking senators and presidents, who appoint federal—and especially Supreme Court—judges.
In the meantime, the Best opinions prove that it is possible for there to be a better world of American jurisprudence.

text: I've recently become quite concerned at the amount of plaque McKenzie has on her teeth, especially as she's only 2. Today I popped into the 'raw shop' and talked to them about what I could give her a few times a week to help her teeth. The lady suggested a few different types of bones, and I bought some lamb brisket. The lady said that you should always give bones with tripe for digestion. This is the first time I've heard of this 'rule' - does anyone follow it? Kenzie's meals are so small on raw that trying to feed both tripe and bone in a meal means she'll only get a tiny bit of each. Also, how long until I start seeing some results with her teeth if I feed bone twice a week? Thanks

Within the Amsterdam School of International Business, Mr Kostelijk is a lecturer of Marketing and Research, a thesis supervisor, and coordinator of the excellence program International Orientation. He is involved in a number of minor programmes, including City Marketing in Europe, and Building Partnerships in Europe. Before joining the AUAS, he worked as a senior lecturer of Marketing at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences (HUAS).
Mr Kostelijk also works as the project leader for research for the Centre of Applied Research on Economics & Management (CAREM) of the AUAS. At HUAS, he is a member of the Centre of Applied Research and Innovation Entrepreneurship.
Mr Kostelijk has worked as a project leader for research and as a professional trainer for research and consultancy agencies including HanzeConnect and Lexnova. As a researcher, he worked on a variety of projects for for-profit, non-profit and governmental organisations. A recent example is a project for Noordhoff Publishers, in which the future of the study book was analysed in the rapidly changing landscape of print, e-books, and audio-visual educational material. His experience as a professional trainer includes holding workshops on topics such as customer relationship management, client-based work processes, marketing, and branding. Mr Kostelijk is currently experimenting with a small online business for classic German stamps, seeking to test if marketing techniques can be used to revitalise a market in the decline phase of the product life cycle.
Mr Kostelijk holds a Master of Science in Economics, with a specialisation in Marketing and Marketing Research, which he obtained from the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in 1993. In September 2015, he will finish his PhD study entitled "The Value Compass - A New and International Approach to Brand Value Measurement". The Value Compass model was developed in an extensive quantitative study of personal values and brand values in several countries (The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, UK and China). In this study, the preferences or the feelings of attachment or 'love' that consumers have for certain brands were analysed by looking at the values associated with these brands. By using psychological models on human value systems to describe the value proposition of brands, the Value Compass explains how brands can realise a strong and consistent brand image.

They should be able to do it.
Get rid of the extra weight ... minimal fuel to get to the the next airport big enough for it with only a few minutes of reserve ... change the takeoff speed to get rid of the margin of safety built into the takeoff tables ... voila it will fly. Not well, but it will fly.
Seen old pics of a TWA 707 that landed at the wrong airport in one city many years ago, on a runway only 1/2 of what it was supposed to need. They got that one stopped right at the end (but blew all the tires I think)and then later after stripping it bare flew it out and over to the regular airport.

I am very disappointed in this product. While the look of it is nice, the actual product is absolutely terrible. Like the other person who reviewed this, nearing completion of assembly we found problems with the doors. On one door the screw holes were stripped before we even attempted to put it together. Since we had already had it pretty much put together when we found the problem we were unsure if we could return it. We got clamps and glue to fix the situation. I went online and found the company who made this and requested new doors. They arrived promptly but we are keeping them as backup until we need to replace one, which happened to be today. The door we didn't glue originally fell off when I opened it. Another issue I have found with this is the maple finish. We try our best not to touch it, or let our children touch it and it has several chips already. I typically won't review products but I feel like people should be warned about this one. I'm including pictures of the issues so you can get a better idea of what we have experienced. I've had cheaper TV stands that have lasted me for several years, so if you value your money, keep looking...
The doors came assembled but were damaged and of poor design.
On final assembly the top surface has a crack on the side which is in sight.
All of these deficiencies were not obvious until assembly was almost complete.
Also the top surface had small damage marks on the corners due to poor handling in transit.
I would recommend this product withdrawn from Walmart inventory ASAP
Very disappointed in this. Put it all together and went to open the glass doors and the wood came apart and the glass fell out. I had to wood glue it back together.
We loved the table but when we got it home and my sister and I unloaded it it and took all of it out of the box the top piece was broken. There was no number to call or nothing.
I wish I had all these reviews when I bought my stand. I would not have bought it. The doors were abolute junk. I did like everyone else did. I glued it all together. I don't know why they even put the doors together. They should of just let me put them together along with the rest of the stand. I know I wouuld have done a better job.
Also after I have it almost completely together I noticed there was a big crack in the finish on the front. I had already spent 3 hrs trying to put it together with direction that had all the parts labeled differently than the manual said. So I decided to just deal with it. I also agree that the back should have had cut our for the cables. Was I just suposed to run them out the front? Maybe thats why all the doors are broken HUM.
I know this product comes unassembled, BUT the glass doors we were unable to use because they were not made tight enough so the wood framing the glass kept coming off. Also the top was scratched and had a crack in the bottom where it seems some one tried to hard to pull out a stable. Yes it is a good price, but also not that there are no pre-made holes in teh back for you to put electronic through. The directions were poorly written and things were mislabeled. I am going to be looking for a better entertainment center as soon as i can because i worry that it may not truly be strong enough to hold my 55 in tv.
My wife and I bought this for our new TV. I added locks to the doors to keep kids out from the electronic equipment. The glass was perfect so that our remotes would still work even with the doors locked. I also added ventilation fans in the back to make sure there was proper air flow. The only issue I had was that the wood frame for the glass doors was stripped and broken upon arrival. I went to the manufacturer's website and requested replacement parts. I had new doors, (free completely) within a week. Because of the great service, I cannot mark down this product.
I was worried at first about assembling because it had been ages since I had assembled anything, but Thank God, It was sooo easy. I just went step by step and between me (a 41 yr. old mother ) and my 65 year old mother, we did it in about 2 hours. now It looks great and ready to hold my new 55" TV I just ordered on Wallmart .com. easy!!!
Everything comes very straight forward - all screws and boards are labeled for easy put together. Towards the end it's easier put together with two people. But very sturdy and solid when everything is said and done.
I cannot recommend this project because it has some busted pieces and no instruction manuel when it arrived at my home. It was not sold in the store so I had to purchase a different type.
In regards to this item:Kodiak Maple TV Stand with 2 Drawers, for TVs up to 55" some of the pieces will scratch and a bottom base was cracked return for a refund
I was tempted to only give this 3 stars, but we are extremely pleased with it despite the one major flaw, so I decided to keep it at 4.
First of all, it was relatively simple to put together. A bit time consuming because I didn't have an electric screwdriver, but the instructions were easy to follow. I'm 35 and have a bad back, but it didn't take me more than a couple of hours (with breaks# to put it together.
Once put together I got to the last step, installing the swinging doors on each end. This is where my biggest complaint comes from. The doors are poorly constructed and by the time I had one of them up, it was already falling apart. It would be relatively simple to reinforce the doors, but since I was going to have electronics on those shelves #blu-ray, wii, surround sound# I figured they would have to be open when the devices were in use which would be a pain anyway, so I decided to leave the shelves open. Our surround sound system was too big to fit with a door closed anyway, so it ended up better all around to just take them off. If you really want doors #like if you're planning on putting breakables or such on the shelves#, know that you will have to reinforce the doors or they will fall apart.
The drawers are sturdy and hold a LOT. We have our remotes, batteries and chargers, wii remotes and much much more just in one of them.
The back piece that you put on with nails is actually really sturdy #compared to most of this type of furniture, which uses flimsy cardboard). You will need a drywall type of saw or a really heavy duty cutter to cut your cord holes into it.
Overall, when compared to the more expensive ones, I think this one is an excellent value. It is very sturdy and looks FANTASTIC! We have had many compliments on it already. And it looks just fine without the doors. There are small holes for the hinges, but they are hardly noticeable.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a friend of a friend who is an illiegal immigrant who came from India then crossed the boarder to USA - he has filed for assylum and has a hearing next month but someone reported the friend to immigration and I was wondering if his girlfriend is an american citizen - will she be able to save him for the mess he is in right now?
I am not sure what the "report" to immigration entailed and what kind of "hearing" he has scheduled. If it is his first time filing for asylum, he likely has an interview with USCIS. If USCIS denied it, then he may have then asked for asylum in removal proceedings, and he has a hearing set before an Immigration Judge. Either way, I hope he is represented by counsel. His entry into the United States coupled with his asylum claims make his case complicated and it is important that he find an experienced immigration attorney to help him. A US citizen "girlfriend" cannot assist him in obtaining any type of immigration benefits. I wish him luck.
Immigration and Family Law Attorney in Sacramento, CA. (916) 436-3007. The information provided is general in nature and not meant to be legal advice.Ask a similar question
If he has asylum pending, then this is his relief. If he wishes to marry the girlfriend, he can do so, and she could then petition for him, but since he entered illegally, he will need a waiver. If he qualifies, he may file for a Provisional Waiver. He really needs to have a formal consultation with an experienced immigration attorney.
Contact attorney Gintare Grigaite, Esq. at 201-471-7989, located in New York and New Jersey. Answers on AVVO do not constitute legal advice and do not form attorney-client relationship. Always consult an attorney for a legal advice.Ask a similar question
Candidly I do not know how an Indian National can claim asylum unless there are some exceptional circumstances. The country conditions will not justify asylum. Further, he must be aware of consequences of frivolous asylum claim.
If he has a viable petitioner for a family petition it may prove more justifiable so long as it is a good faith marriage.
My suggestion: He needs to get a lawyer so that the situation is not fouled up.Ask a similar question
He should consult an immigration lawyer. Unfurtunately if he entered the United State illegaly he cannot do an adjustment of status in the US.Ask a similar question
His girlfriend would have to become his wife in order t help him. She would then petition for him but since he entered without inspection (crossed the border) he would have to have an approved waiver. He can apply for the new provisional waiver this March. If his hearing is coming up next month he does not have a lot of time to accomplish all of this. He should speak with an immigration attorney as soon as possible.
Samuel Ouya Maina, Esq. 415.391.6612 email@example.com Law Offices of S. Ouya Maina, PC 332 Pine Street, Suite 707 San Francisco, CA 94104Ask a similar question
We have several of these cases in our California offices. If this friend of your friend is seeking asylum from India I would suspect he is from the Sikh faith and perhaps from the area of Punjab. This is still a troubled area of the world. The common route to the U.S. from India is through a Central American country with a visa and then travel through Mexico and across the U.S. boarder. Assuming he entered without inspection by avoiding U.S. boarder agents he will not be able to adjust status in the U.S. It sounds like he is already in removal proceedings - probably in San Francisco. He needs to have a good immigration attorney or he will be ordered removed. If he has already file a I-589 asylum application he will need to support it with a LOT of supporting evidence. It is still possible to win an asylum case from India but the bar is substantially higher now that a Sikh is president of India than it was when Mrs. Gandhi was president. That does not mean that all persecution of Sikhs has ceased. Nor does it mean that the "new" government is able to protect the persecuted. The most likely relief for this friend of your friend is to marry a U.S. citizen for all the right reasons - love & romance. They will then need to consular process through the U.S. consulate - most likely in New Deli, India.
Under the new I-601A rules it is possible he could have an approved waiver before he returns to India for his immigrant visa interview. This is only possible if the immigration court case is terminated or administratively closed.
If this is not possible - the final immigration court hearing (where he will likely be ordered removed or granted voluntary departure), could be timed conveniently with the interview in India. If he is able to put together a strong I-601 hardship waiver application and there are no other inadmissibility issues lurking - he will likely return to the U.S. within months rather than years to live happily ever after with his U.S. citizen spouse.

Myths and Misconceptions (3)Mature
MYTH #3: Vampires Sleep in Coffins
This has a basis in historical fact. In eras past it has been necessary for vampires to take refuge in coffins during daylight hours. It is important, however, to take note of the reasoning for this.
The process by which we are transformed into vampires has the side effect of destroying pigmentation in our skin, rendering us more sensitive to UV rays than when we were human. Caucasian and East Asian vampires tend to be more vulnerable than those of other ethnicities, but everyone should take proper precaution.
Back then, a coffin in a crypt provided vampires with protection from sunlight, as well as security against those not keen on having a vampire as a neighbor. Today, it might be a climate controlled hyperbaric chamber in your bedroom, although for those who may be claustrophobic or just wishing to avoid comparisons to Michael Jackson (who is not a vampire), a well-appointed sub-basement apartment with a dead bolt will do. Anything with no windows.
Milan R. (age 27, 3 as a vampire) took this one step further. A professional photographer, Milan was both a night owl and a sun worshipper. So after his transformation, he had all of the windows in his Laguna Beach house replaced with UV filtering glass.
Milan stayed in his darkroom during construction, and afterward had that converted into his master bedroom. He no longer needed it for work, since he had switched to digital. Now Milan is able to continue enjoying sunsets over the Pacific, and has the added benefit of having a lower energy bill.
Milan also continues to take assignments for daytime shoots. When he goes on location, Milan covers up, wears a big hat, and a high SPF sunscreen. As he explains it, "When I go out like this, I'll get a few curious looks, but most shrug it off as an L.A. artist sort of thing."

It is being said that this is do-or-die time for Frankie Edgar, a must-win situation for his mixed martial arts career. Edgar, however, would beg to differ -- somewhat.
Currently riding a three-fight losing skid (all title bouts), Edgar is in serious need of a win. He will seek to right the ship Saturday night against crafty Charles Oliveira at UFC 162 in Las Vegas.
Is Edgar in a must-win situation? Sure. Is there weight on his shoulders? Yes. Is he feeling the pressure? No doubt. It all adds up to a sense of urgency.
But this sense of urgency is no different than what Edgar experiences before every bout. There was a sense of urgency on July 10, 2005, when he made his professional debut during an Underground Combat League fight in the Bronx, N.Y.
It was no different when Edgar faced Hermes Franca on July 19, 2008, at UFC Fight Night 14. Edgar stepped into the cage that evening for the first time with a blemish on his record -- Gray Maynard outmuscled him three months earlier en route to a unanimous decision.
Then there were the title bouts: two wins against legendary BJ Penn, a draw with and knockout of Maynard, and the current losing streak -- two very close lightweight affairs against Benson Henderson and one, the most recent setback, to featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
Whether a title is on the line or not, the sense of urgency Edgar feels remains the same.
This prefight adrenaline rush comes from Edgar's unwavering desire to become or remain a champion. And the only way to achieve this goal is to win the fight immediately in front of him. Nothing else -- what took place before or what might happen afterward -- matters.
"Your next fight is always the most important, so for me everything is on the line," Edgar told ESPN.com. "I'm very competitive and I want to win no matter what's on the line.
"The fight's on the line and that's just as important to me as a title. I want to win this fight just as much as I want to win a title."
Expect Edgar (15-4-1) to perform at his usual high level: precision striking, pinpoint takedowns, nonstop head movement and solid footwork. A three-fight losing skid has done nothing to diminish Edgar's confidence, skills or work ethic.
This training camp has been as smooth as any before it. Edgar is feeling great heading into fight week. And with this camp being his second for a 145-pound contest, the weight cut proved easier – not that Edgar expressed having too much trouble making weight for his initial featherweight bout against Aldo.
"I'm a little more familiar on how to get my body down to featherweight," Edgar said. "But I'm not cutting much weight at all.
"It doesn't feel much different fighting at featherweight than it did at lightweight. I'm just a little stricter about what I'm putting in my body. Being it's my second time doing this makes it a little easier."
Edgar was a diminutive lightweight; he's an average-sized featherweight. Which begs the question, is a bantamweight title shot in his future? Edgar isn't ready to make any promises, nor will he rule anything out. The same goes for a return to lightweight.
Edgar is keeping all options on the table. The only nonnegotiable issue is becoming champion again. It's his driving force, the thing that prevents him from taking this nontitle bout Saturday night lightly, the reason Oliveira (16-3) will get the best Edgar imaginable.
Oliveira has won only two of his six most recent fights. His name won't be found on any top-10 featherweight lists. But the former lightweight, who failed to make weight in his most recent fight, is a skilled fighter.
"He's a dangerous opponent, long, rangy, with a diverse striking game and slick, slick submission game," Edgar said of Oliveira. "There are no easy fights in UFC and I'm prepared.
"I've fought the best in my last seven fights, they were all title fights. I will be ready for Charles."
A victory will shut the door on the most difficult stretch of Edgar's professional career to date. It also could open the discussion about a possible rematch with Aldo.
Edgar, who is ranked 10th among all mixed martial artists by ESPN.com, suffered a unanimous decision loss Feb. 2 to Aldo at UFC 156. But Edgar gave the No. 4-ranked fighter all he could handle during the encounter. Nearly every round was closely contested.
Aldo has expressed interest in moving to lightweight after his Aug. 3 title defense against Chan Sung Jung at UFC 163 in Rio de Janeiro. Nothing is definitive at this time, but it appears Aldo is on his way out the featherweight door.
A rematch with Aldo isn't currently at the top of Edgar's priority list -- Oliveira occupies that spot, but it's somewhere in the back of his mind. Whether Aldo competes at featherweight or lightweight, it doesn't matter to Edgar, as long as a title is on the line.
"My goal is always to be the champion," Edgar said. "I really haven't thought about what might happen in this division or the lightweight division as things change. I'm just worried about getting back to my winning ways and put myself in position to fight for a title.
"I'd love to fight Aldo again for the title, but we'll see what happens."
