Obama wins Norton, Irby elementary schools
Published: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 3:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 3:12 p.m.
The ballots have been cast and counted. Projections and early polls don't matter anymore.
Photo Galleries
The students of Norton and Irby public elementary schools in Alachua County have spoken.
The schools held mock elections to pick the next president, and both elected Democratic incumbent Barack Obama.
At Irby, the whole school participated. Obama received 298 votes, or 59 percent. Republican challenger Mitt Romney garnered 204, or 41 percent.
Obama more handily won at Norton, where he had the support of 171 voters, or 71 percent. Romney captured 60 votes, or 25 percent. Third party candidates did see some support, though, with Gary Johnson receiving six votes, Jill Stein getting three and even Roseanne Barr snagging a vote.
It should be noted that Mrs. Ford, a teacher at Norton, also received a vote.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0720611350, Paperback)This novel was the result of Roth's visit to Moscow in 1926 when speculation about the fate of Trotsky was rife. Filled as it is with revolutionary plotters, underground cabels, the February Revolution, and the Red Army, Roth referred to this work as his Trotsky novel."" But the experiences of the book's hero, the Trotsky-like Friederich Kargan, are as recognizably those of a less well-known Jewish outsider, a perpetual exile searching for a place in the new Europe and a set of values to counter his own skepticism and growing disillusionment-Joseph Roth himself. ""A novel one should not wish to be without.... Roth is a very fine writer indeed.""--Angela Carter.

Concealed Weapons Permits in Maryland
Posted in the Bowie Forum
#1 May 8, 2007
According to the Maryland State Police it is not possible to obtain a concealed handgun permit without proof of threats on your life. These threats have to be corroborated by a witness and have to have been reported to the police. At that point you may be eligible for a permit. The permit may still take up to 90 days to process.( http://www.mdsp.org/Downloads/Licensing_Appli... )
Does this seem like a horrible idea to anyone else? States like VA, PA, WV and countless others are "Shall Issue" states, meaning that they shall issue a concealed carry permit as long as the applicant has no criminal record or mental health/addiction issues and can pass a training program. Maryland has a higher crime rate than any of our bordering states. Is it unreasonable to think then, that the gun laws in Maryland are not helping at all. After all, criminals, by definition, don't obey the law. I am of the opinion, and the Dept of State and USMC agree with me, that you are safer when I am armed. Why doesn't Maryland agree?
#2 May 8, 2007
Addendum to previous post:
It is possible to obtain a concealed carry permit if you have to make large cash deposits on a regular basis. Again, why is money worth more than the life of everyone around me on a regular basis?
In case you were wondering, the only way to stop an active shooter (someone on a killing spree) is to kill them. Police take time, through no fault of their own, to respond to an incident. However, if a potential victim is armed and can defend themselves and the lives of those around them then there shouldn't be any law that prevents that from happening.
#3 Mar 17, 2008
if you obtain a letter or memo from the state police or local law enforcement stating the average response time to a call involving threat to life and can prove you have a good reason to think such a threat exist and has not yet surfaced ( such as a member of the armed forces who has served over seas, because of the large population of people that have recently move into the DC/Baltimore area) they will more than likely grant the permit.
#5 Apr 6, 2008
With the cops being redneck, this summer will be a warzone and I plan to go watch the mayhem and participate in it too as long as I soon get awayh with the money and go to disneyworld.

i pay taxes like everyone else. These rich congressman need to step up and look at our rites to bar arms. I cant afford a body guard like them. Im an honest citizan. We should be able to carry like concealed like all the other states. I cant help live close to DC. They have their own laws.
"Too much"
Since: Jun 08

I moved out of maryland, i am in detroit but at least i can carry my glock where i want.
#9 Dec 12, 2008
I agree with the statement about us wanting to protect ourselves and our families before we're prayed on by criminals. Just look at the police blotter in and around Balto. Co's and City. It's only getting worse. I just read the requirements from the MD state police and it's rediculous. I want to even show my wife how to shoot and carry a gun, espcially while she has our kids out in the evenings or whatever. People are getting robbed and carjacked like it's noting now.
#10 Dec 30, 2008
I understand the whole idea of background checks and keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. It's a good idea and it should continue. However, being that I'm an honest citizen shouldn't I be able to acquire a concealed weapons permit without having to prove a threat upon my life (2nd ammendment right). Furthermore, even if there was a credible threat on my life in ninety days I'd probably be dead before I could even get my hands on the permit. It's funny because it seems like the criminals in our government are same the people keeping guns out of the hands of honest citizens. I live in baltimore isn't that enough threat for you! INNOCENT people are being killed and our rights as honest citizens are being trampled.
#11 Jan 2, 2009
First off, the 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms wasn't put there so everyone who wanted who was paranoid about being assaulted could carry a gun. It was put there to give the people the right to bear arms and form militia to protect against the tyranny of government. In other words, The United States, having just overcome the dictated laws and taxes of England, wanted protection to ensure the same couldn't be done by their own government. Now, do you really think we're on the brink of another Civil War? I highly doubt it. So there goes that need.
I too grew up and have lived in the Baltimore area all of my life. I like to think that while the area has it's problems, my life is not in imminent danger every time I step out of my home.
This is not to say that I think no one should own guns. I believe everyone should be given the right to a THOROUGH background check and then have the right to own a gun either for game (hunting) or home invasion protection. If someone breaks into your home with a gun, I think you have the right to shoot them. I'm not a bleeding heart liberal who thinks no one should own a gun and we shouldn't hunt or eat meat, blah, blah, blah. If you want to own a gun and use it responsibly for hunting and home protection, go right ahead and apply for a permit to do so.
But if you want to be able to walk the streets of my city/state (yeah, it's my city/state too, I pay my taxes) then you had better prove, beyond a doubt, that you need to carry that pistol because your life literally depends upon it.
#12 Jan 13, 2009
Yes I do believe that our govenment, particulaly my state government is abusing its power. And shoudl we not have the right to carry a weapon outside of our homes, how would we ever be able to resist a corupt govenment. Furthermore, there is abundant data which clearly demonstate that the states which have shall carry laws have significantly less murder and violent crime than those states which do not. Maryland has approximately 26% more violent crime than Pennsylvania and Virginia. It's simply amazing, that so many people continue to make decisions baed on the feelings, rather than the evidence.
#13 Jan 16, 2009
Supreme Court already settled that issue in Heller vs. DC case by affirming "Individual rite to bear arms" so there goes that argument.
As far as walking the streets of Baltimore and other cities of our state:
I'd be much more comfortable knowing that law abiding people around me MAYBE carrying concealed guns and that any occasional criminal in the crown knows it too and that HE is afraid.
Experience of every state that relaxed their carry laws have shown substantial reduction in violent crime rate.
So far the only way to achieve similar result in the City of Baltimore was by underreporting.
As for the politicians I dont think their decisions are based on emotions.
I believe it is a calculated strategy to get re-elected by exploiting emotions of undereducated populous.
By adapting restricting laws (that they know as well as anyone only applied to law abiding citizens) they get the ability to say I did something on the campaign trail and betraying the very people they ask for a vote.
#14 Jan 18, 2009
This is for Gene... Thank you for answering "Anonymous" now all this is good but we seem to, mostly, be preaching to the choir. We need to send these remarks to Congress... daily! We need to call and e-mail with stats.. like the crime rates of Md to VA, PA, an, WVA. Also with information on the stats from places like Morton Grove, Illinois and Kennesaw, Georgia. Go to
for the truth.
#15 Jan 18, 2009
Having lived in Maryland for 5 yrs (1.5yrs in Bodymore), Texas for 5, and Florida for 4. I have only to say Maryland "takes the cake" as far as violent crime is concerned. Even though this is only an anecdotal statement on my part; I believe people can only remain ignorant about the statistics showing a drop in violent crimes in other concealed carry states for so long. Forget the stats from the NRA, or the Brady Campaign. All people have to do now is look up unbiased records kept by the various states office of vital records.
#16 Jan 26, 2009
so if a criminal is on a killing spree and is headed in our (yes i live in Baltimore) direction how do you want to defend yourself? i know how i would, one in the head and two in the chest!
#17 Feb 3, 2009
if everyone in maryland for that matter, if every one in the united states could carry a concealed weapon this would result in a 50 to 75 percent decrease in violent crime, because just like cell phones everyone would have one, a criminal would think first before he acted, no one would be a easy target..... food for thought.
#18 Feb 17, 2009
Maryland citizens, do your part and contact your delegates to help get this bill passed! This will turn Maryland to a shall-issue state!
To the other Anonymous, you're showing a clear emotional reaction to the issue. do you really think that concealed carry license holders are going to be using their arms to commit crime? It doesn't happen. And in Maryland (and most other states, excepting Alaska) you DO need to pass a background check to get a concealed carry permit. I don't think ANYONE has a problem with this, it makes sense. the problem is that under Maryland law it is then entirely at the State Polices discretion as to whether you get the permit. This is not right, and there should be no need to prove to anyone that you need or deserve the god-given right to bear arms.
#19 Feb 26, 2009
I live in Maryland. I was a PI in Virginia but couldn't get licensed in Maryland where licensing is controlled by the State Police (as are the CCW permits). Maryland seems to be a liberal state politically but it has some of the most restrictive and controlling policies. Even an off-duty cop from across the river in Fairfax County VA can't legally carry his concealed weapon into MD. I wonder if it ever enters the mind of the criminally-inclined that the highest number of unarmed law-abiding citizens can be found in Maryland, New Jersey, and the other few may-issue states?
#20 Mar 8, 2009
I also live in Maryland, and one of my friends got mugged last year by someone with a gun, in Bowie. Can't even be safe in my own town anymore it would seem. I also heard that if you walk into a State Police office and ask for a CCW form, they lie and say they ran out when they are really hiding it.
#21 Mar 8, 2009
I live in PA but work 12 hr shifts day and night 6 to 6 in Bodymore I have a permit to carry for pa. I've been known to forget that my weapon's still in my car, I don't like the prospects of what would happen to me if stopped by the MD police and the weapon was found.

Working Out And Sleep
You also have your best game on when it comes to your diet. You get enough lean protein each day and supplement this with natural sources of carbohydrates focused around the workout period, then add enough healthy fats to keep testosterone levels where they need to be.
You think you have everything covered, right? Well, you may want to reconsider. One often overlooked but crucial aspect of any workout program is sleep. That's right — the time of the day when everything comes to a standstill can have a significant impact on your success at the gym. Working out and sleep are interdependent, and it's important to understand how they work together.
Let's look at the impacts of working out and sleep.
Hormonal releaseThe first major way sleep will impact your results in the gym is with the hormonal release that it provides. Your body releases a growth hormone at its highest concentration during a 24-hour period when you're at rest during the night. Since growth hormones are closely correlated to muscle-size increases, you want to maximize this hormone as much as you can.
In one study published in the Growth Hormone & IGF Research journal, researchers pointed to the fact that in women, the growth hormone is released in smaller bursts throughout the day. In men, however, there tends to be a single burst released, and it is heavily correlated with the onset of sleep, specifically slow-wave sleep. Guys who sleep less and spend less time in slow-wave sleep tend to notice a decline in the overall growth hormone released, and this slows down the rate of muscle building.
In addition to growth hormone, men who are sleep-deprived also tend to show higher evening cortisol levels in the body, and cortisol is a hormone that directly opposes muscle building. Rather than encouraging new tissue to be built up throughout the day, it encourages the breakdown of body tissue. As a result, higher releases of cortisol will take you further from the optimum recovery state that you want to be in before your next workout.
Muscular repairThe repair process that goes on while you're at rest is more evidence of the interdependence of working out and sleep. Every time you lift weights in the gym and overload your muscles, you're going to create tiny micro-tears in the muscle tissue. It's when these micro-tears are repaired and built back up that you notice strength and size gains, so shorting yourself of the repair process is a severe hindrance.
We have more on the importance of working out and sleep...

Chef Menteur
Chef Menteur @ The Circle Bar on 2004-10-10
No Upcoming Shows, Sorry.
Since Chef Menteur rely so much on mood, texture, and nuance, youd be better off just seeing their instrumental, experimental Space Rock than have me try and explain it.
They played a pleasant show at The Circle Bar Sunday night. When they got super dreamy, listening to their music was similar to watching water reflect off of blue water. Also, their ominous and repetitive bass lines gave rockin songs some needed nastiness. In addition, they rule. Continuing, theyre total electro-heads. Samples, synthesizers(one a Moog), e-bowsit was all there. No matter how many layers there were in the music, a pulse was always present. I tapped or stomped my foot to their nice grooves. They were organic, as well. A conga was used along with a drum kit to create polyrhythms that only added to the trance nature of the music.
The band had an attractive accessibility. Not too dark or light. Just subversive enough to get past the ears of a Republican. I enjoyed the video they played against the performance rooms back wall. Goldfish swam in a toilet, and I sped through a tunnel in the drivers seat. Neato.
The bands improvisational spirit made them push boundaries and find sounds other people would have passed up or not thought of putting together. Long live Chef Menteur.

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree voted last night for a compromise proposal that will extend lower tax rates for nearly all Maine families, avoid a dramatic increase in milk prices and will require millionaires and billionaires to pay more.
"This isn't a perfect deal by any means but no compromise is perfect," Pingree said. "The bottom line for me was an agreement that protects working families from a big tax increase, keeps milk prices from going through the roof and doesn't pull the rug out from under people who are still struggling in this economy."
Pingree said she was disappointed with some of the provisions in the bill, including the way farm policy was extended for nine months.
"It was critical to extend the dairy programs so families aren't paying $7 or $8 a gallon for milk," she said. "But Congress needs to use the next few months to pass real farm policy reform that supports and expands local agriculture and creates a sustainable food policy for the country."
The bill Pingree voted for reduces taxes for 98% of Maine families and 97% of Maine small businesses, preserves long term unemployment insurance for thousands of Maine people who are still searching for work, and extends tax breaks for families paying for childcare and college tuition. The agreement also temporarily preserves a dairy industry program for the next nine months. Without that extension, dairy prices would nearly double, according to experts.
The bill also extends a tax credit for new wind energy projects.
"The wind industry supports thousands of jobs in Maine and letting the wind energy tax credit expire would pull the rug out from under countless new wind projects and probably put Maine people out of work," she said.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Posted by Walter
For two years beginning in July, 2012, our next-door neighbor consistently blew piles of leaves onto our driveway (we share a zero lot line). No attempts by my wife and I to get our "neighbor" to cease and desist were successful: discussions turned to arguments. Calls to the police were ineffective, as dumping detritus on another's property is, "A civil matter, not a criminal violation." Pleas for Restraining Orders were denied; two judges failed to find our "neighbor's" actions were sufficient to justify a Restraining Order.
Fortunately, a mutual friend referred me to Jim Schnieders. Jim studied the file of paperwork and photos and agreed to take our case.
Happy endings are not restricted to films, childrens' books and some TV shows. Through the litigation process and discovery, Jim gained leverage to negotiate favorable compensation for my damages. Further, my wife and I are no longer subject to our "neighbor's" sport of dumping detritus onto our property.
Throughout this ordeal, Jim offered wise and temperate counsel, was always available for a meeting or phone call and was prompt in returning those calls.
I would recommend Jim's knowledge and services to anyone who is experiencing the type of domestic disruption which my wife and I had to endure, prior to my introduction to Jim. To be harassed in one's own home is simply unacceptable. To obtain the services of one who can right such a situation is of great value indeed. Thank you, Jim.
Posted by June
My company encountered a dispute with a customer regarding an outstanding invoice. The customer was upset and required an immediate response. I contacted Jim in the morning and within 30 minutes he had analyzed both the legal and business issues at hand and prepared correspondence that perfectly represented our position and protected our interests. I will definitely use his services again.

High School Student (Dual Enrolled)
Students in grades 9-12 attending a public, private, or home studies program in Georgia may take college classes while still in high school. Most students earn college and high school credit for courses taken at NGTC. These classes help fulfill graduation requirements at the student's high school or home studies program.
Dual Credit (college and high school credits)
- Move On When Ready (MOWR) –The new Move on When Ready program replaces prior dual credit programs in Georgia. Students receive college and high school credit for either academic core or technical classes. Full-time and part-time schedules are allowed. Students may take classes during the Fall, Spring, and Summer Semesters. The Move on When Ready program covers tuition, mandatory fees, and books.
Other programs
- Alternate Diploma Program-Students who complete 10th grade with the required courses (two English, Math, Science, Social Studies; one Health and PE and required tests) may enroll full-time at NGTC while completing an Associate Degree, Technical Diploma or two Technical Certificate programs in a career pathway. Once the program is complete, students may graduate with a high school diploma and a college credential.
- Joint enrollment – Students receive college credit only for technical OR academic courses taken at NGTC. Classes are NOT used for high school credit.

Girls in their summer clothes ...
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Y'all are probably not going to believe this, but when I was in my twenties and living in Washington and hanging with young liberal journalists and activists and budding policy analysts and the like, Richard Cohen was our favorite columnist. No, really. This is apparently what too many years of too many columns does to your brain; you continue to believe in John McCain's reformist credentials.
The New Republic shames its editors and contributors two days in a row. And what a surprise, the topic is Israel. Instapundit has the story but without the badly needed correction. Incredible -- publishing a guy's private prayer on the rumor you heard that it was leaked, without even checking out the story first. I love blogging and all, but I'm thinking perhaps a bunch of people here need a scholarship to J-school. I have an opening in my class. (Oh, and I'm still waiting for my correction.)
Last week, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough issued some derisive comments about bloggers "just sitting there, eating their Cheetos." On Morning Joe, the hosts were discussing Sen. John McCain's incorrect claim that the surge caused the Anbar Awakening -- a falsehood correctly pointed out by noted journalist, and yes, blogger, Spencer Ackerman -- when Scarborough defended McCain's misstatement against attacks by these Cheeto-eating bloggers.
"Let me google Anbar Awakening!" Scarborough mocked, adding this description: "Dust flying -- Cheeto dust flying all over. They're wiping it on their bare chest while their underwear -- you know, their Hanes." What bothered Scarborough was that "a couple of hosts ran this last night and made a huge deal because a liberal blogger [Ackerman] picked it up."
Matt Yglesias asks:
I'm really a bit baffled as to where these anti-blogger stereotypes come from. Spencer's reported from Iraq several times, I published a book recently, Ilan has a master's degree and speaks three languages -- we're not sitting around smearing ourselves with Cheetos. Like a lot of people, we write stuff. And some of the stuff we write is published on the internet. Is that really so weird and discreditable?
This may have been a rhetorical question, but clearly the answer is -- no. And Scarborough doesn't even really think that. Here's Scarborough in February 2005, when he hosted Scarborough Country, discussing the conservative bloggers who went after Dan Rather during the 2004 presidential election, and then after CNN executive Eason Jordan, who resigned after bloggers picked up and flogged his comments that U.S. troops were targeting journalists in Iraq:
SCARBOROUGH: And one thing I'll say to all of you is what Jason just said the bloggers did seems to me what 60 Minutes has been doing for some time. Mike Wallace basically kicks down doors and tries to get at the truth, whether people like it or not. And he's held as a great journalist.
I think somebody's got to keep the mainstream media in check. OK, I know I'm a member of it. I'm just telling you. That's the truth. That's our little secret. Don't tell anybody. That's my little Valentine's gift to you.
Now, coming up next, why doesn't the old liberal media understand that blogs are here to stay and they're serving us all?
Scarborough went on to talk about "the power of bloggers," and blasted "The New York Times, the last bastion of the old media. ... The gray lady of journalism still doesn't get it."
The point here isn't just to bust an inconsistency by Scarborough, but to make the perhaps obvious point that he really doesn't have anything against bloggers, per se; there is no "anti-blogger stereotype." He has something against the viewpoints of particular writers, but uses caricatures about "bloggers" to mask it.
Overall, there is a definite duality of opinion about "bloggers" among many mainstream media types - if bloggers share their politics, they are respectable citizen voices and certainly worthy of mention (See: Drudge, Matt). If not, they're amateur Cheeto-eating couch lumps with no experience and no voice worth listening to. (See: virtually the entire liberal blogosphere).
Take, for example, Tom Brokaw. In our recent Think Again column, we highlighted Brokaw's often-absurd interview with Al Gore on Meet the Press recently, and here's one dilly of a question we left out:
BROKAW: Let me ask you about your personal lifestyle, because it's been the subject of a lot of dialogue on the blogs, as you know. You and Tipper have bought a big home outside of Nashville, and you had it retrofitted ...
Well, it's on the blogs! Never mind that Al Gore's energy use is irrelevant to his challenge to find energy sources that are not carbon-based. It's on the blogs, so Brokaw has to ask it. He must really hold the blogs in high esteem. Ah, but here's Brokaw in December 2007, in an interview with right-wing radio host Hugh Hewitt, discussing the Virginia Tech killings: "It's what they read in blog sites, and what they see in video games. It's that kind of stuff that I think is cancerous." And Brokaw has also railed against the bloggers who took down his friend Dan Rather: "What I think is highly inappropriate is what's going on across the Internet, a kind of political jihad," he said.
Again, the point is that Brokaw seems to use "blogs" as a subterfuge to disguise his own biases and assumptions. He made an editorial decision to ask how many lights Al Gore leaves on at night. The power of the blogs did not command him to. At another time, he bashed "blog sites" and "bloggers" as cancerous and jihad-ish because he didn't like what they were writing, not because of the platform they used.
Along these lines, Greg Sargent has noted repeatedly that the mythical power of The Drudge Report is quite misunderstood. I don't have to overview every mainstream reporter or editor who has gushed that Drudge "rules our world" and about the "power Drudge has to push a particular storyline or a broader narrative in the race." (The latter encomium courtesy of The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza) But, as Sargent points out, when Drudge recently ran a banner headline saying "IRAQ LEADER SUPPORTS OBAMA PLAN," his mythical abilities vanished. The headline was up for almost 20 hours before any mainstream outlet ran with the story.
Mainstream media types currently enjoy the lazy escape hatch of dismissing political views or objective facts under the smokescreen of anti-blogger (or pro-blogger) stereotypes. But how much longer will that last - until people understand that bloggers are simply writers, journalists, and thinkers with a new platform, and that the inherent biases and assumptions of the mainstream media remain the same?
This is kind of like bolstering the case that the sun rises in the east, but the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University has studied network news broadcasts since the end of the primaries, and found that "ABC, NBC and CBS were tougher on Obama than on Republican John McCain during the first six weeks of the general-election campaign."
Their research shows that while Obama got more coverage, 72 percent of opinions offered by network news were classified as negative, compared with 57 percent for McCain. In short, it's great to have coverage, but not great to have coverage that constantly asks if a candidate "has problems" with white, blue-collar voters, etc.
The study -- from the normally conservative group down at George Mason -- can be found here.
Two fine pieces from the American Scholar, should you find the time. (You should). Here is Charles Johnson on "The End of the Black American Narrative." And here is William Deresiewicz on "The Disadvantages of an Elite Education."

Eric, re your Think Again column on Gore's excellent global warming/energy speech: I've given up all hope that Americans will ever permit any meaningful discourse about our serious problems. Republicans get elected by pandering to this intellectual laziness. I wish we would grow up and accept responsibility for our way of life, but fat chance.
It was very interesting to read about the outsourcing of intelligence gathering and how it has caused the loss of institutional memory.
It is exactly the same in any business. We businessmen have allowed ourselves to get fooled that the lower cost of outsourcing means efficiency when it is really delaying costs into the future. The day of reckoning arrives and nobody has the expertise to fix things.

Hi Eric,
Thank you for posting the ANP story on Congressman Kucinich. I'll omit the laudatory comments because you know I respect and appreciate your work. However, I do have an abiding question concerning Kucinich.
I've carefully read the Congressman's articles for impeachment. I don't find a mistake or even a doubtful issue among them.
My question: If these articles are correct why aren't the many intelligent and outspoken writers on the progressive side of the web and media making this the issue of the day? I know what Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and Rahm Emmanuel say, but from the point of view of simple justice and what may be left of our Constitution, why is Kucinich and this issue continually marginalized by knowledgeable people as unrealistic or worse just disregarded as unworthy of practical attention?
I trust I'm not aiming at windmills here but I believe at some point we can compromise our sense of participatory governance into irrelevance. How much more jaded "realism" can our culture stand?
If this cynicism is the cumulative effect on our civitas from these last eight devastating years, then the hangover will be far worse than the drunk.
Eric replies: Because it's a bad idea. Not everything that is morally just or intellectually respectable is a good idea. This is one of those, alas ...

I'm not surprised that people would think of George Bush while watching The Dark Knight -- the massive cellphone wiretap is a hint -- but Andrew Klavan's piece is not only silly, he missed the point of the movie. To me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees the parallels, The Dark Knight is a modern-day version of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Batman, like John Wayne's character, is a shadowy figure who does dirty deeds to rid the town of an evildoer (Heath Ledger, Lee Marvin). But -- and here is the part Klavan missed -- Batman and Duke recognized that civilization requires institutions and laws, not vigilantes, so they stepped aside and proclaimed the lawman (Aaron Eckhart, James Stewart) the hero. The president is -- or ought to be -- the representative of laws and civilization. He can't be outside of it. That's what makes these past seven years so outrageous.
Mr. Klavan ought to read Jane Mayer's The Dark Side, which I happened to read right after seeing The Dark Knight. He might come to a different conclusion about "pushing the boundaries."

The only thing George W. Bush has in common with Bruce Wayne (AKA Batman) is that they both inherited shitloads of money.
Now for the vast differences:
1. Batman actually puts his own ass on the line. George W. has spent his whole life hiding behind the skirts of others.
2. Batman refuses to kill.*
3. In Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne refuses to be the judge and executioner of an accused murderer -- and it is this refusal that puts him at odds with Liam Neeson's character.
4. Batman has the loyal Alfred on his side. Bush has Dick Cheney.
5. Batman works day and night. George W. Bush spends one third of his time on vacation.
6. Bruce Wayne spends gobs of his OWN money on good. Bush spends gobs of other people's money to do bad.
7. Bruce Wayne puts on a costume to remain anonymous. George W. Bush put on his costume (a flight suit) to glorify himself.
*Disclaimer: I have not yet seen The Dark Knight, but I have seen all the other films, including watching Batman Begins just last night.

Dr. Alterman,
A few thoughts on the whole Dark Knight movie, or even the happy Batman version, and our political system.
1. The ancient Roman Republic had a system that empowered a single leader with the temporary power to do what they needed during a time of social crisis. The name of this special Roman position is where we get the root of the noun Dictator ... and the last one so empowered in Rome led to a leader called an Emperor.
2. Gotham needed Batman not because of an external terrorist threat, but because the municipal government had become so corrupt and incompetent they couldn't function. The conservatives might remember this the next time they extol 'W's virtues ... bad government = social unrest, not happiness, freedom and liberty.
3. The whole point of the Dark Knight portrayal is how a "caped avenger" with good intentions and unlimited resources becomes virtually indistinguishable in action from the criminals he opposes when he 'pulls the gloves off'. I also have to wonder how the local government would have functioned with a comparable amount of resources available to Bruce Wayne?
4. Finally, what sorry pieces of garbage want to compare their real life policy/political platform to an imaginary character written in an extremely corrupt industry that has a moral and intellectual target audience of 9 to 15-year-old boys? Oh, right, conservatives.
PS. I know several 9 to 15-year-old boys who are both smart and moral ... they just get really excited sometimes over comic books.
Then they grow up.

I think I might find myself in agreement with Mr. Klavan's assertion that one "sometimes has to push the boundaries of civil rights to deal with an emergency." But emergencies don't last 7 years. During that time, responsible administration leaders should develop a plan that deals with the problem without destroying this country's commitment to civil rights.

Anxiously awaiting your take on Bruce @ Giants Stadium. Had the priviledge of seeing last night's 3+ hour show. When I awoke this morning with my head pounding, all I could think was that Bruce is eight years older than I and he has to do that again tonight.
Eric replies: Night two was, I'd estimate, 20 percent better than night one. Everybody remotely considering Thursday, I'd strongly recommend, as horrible a place as Giants Stadium may be.

ST. PETE BEACH — Residents along a tree-lined boulevard in Pass-a-Grille were awakened early Saturday by a spectacular car crash that sounded like gunshots.
Within moments, the clamor of the accident and arrival of emergency crews brought many residents onto the sidewalk, looking for answers.
By Monday, speculation and rumor were filling in missing pieces of the story as police tried to determine such basics as the names of the four teens in the car when it veered off the road about 5 a.m. What investigators do know is the blue Ford Taurus swerved off Pass-a-Grille Way, probably much faster than the 25 mph limit marked on the road sign it bent into a kink.
The car hit a mature palm tree at its base and snapped it in two. It then burst through two small fences at adjoining homes and went airborne as it hit an ornamental brick well. Shearing back from the bottom of a massive tree limb, the car rolled in midair and landed on its roof on 30th Avenue, more than 100 feet from where it left the road.
One male teen was ejected and was in critical condition Monday at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. Another teen was partly thrown from the rear window. His condition is unknown. Two passengers crawled out of the vehicle, said St. Pete Beach assistant fire Chief Tom Malone. Three, he said, were taken to Bayfront.
"You have to believe high speed had to be a factor," Malone said. "They're very lucky all four didn't die. It was pretty impressive. A palm tree doesn't generally give like that."
Malone said none of the passengers was carrying identification but one female victim's mother, who owned the car, was at the scene as police began investigating.
St. Pete Beach police Officer Brett Schambach said police had not determined after an initial interview with the mother, Rachel Bolinder, whether her car had been stolen or taken with permission.
Schambach and Malone said there were no obvious indications that alcohol or drugs contributed to the crash, and Schambach said his department did not request toxicology tests.
Schambach said it appeared the four passengers in the Taurus and Bolinder were "at another residence on Pass-a-Grille Way earlier in the evening" but there had been no reports of trouble, he said.
The owners of the home at 3000 Pass-a-Grille Way, where the car left the road, were not home at the time of the accident.

but i must say, i am VERY dissapointed in BMW's latest designs. they are putting way to many curves on the car and making it look like a kia or something. the interior and drive-train are something that was hand crafted by God himself..... but man, that is really ugly.... i cant wait to see how they butcher the new M3.
Just call me Clark Kent
Offical Body Guard for the Bugeye Mafia.
I heard rumor that the new M3 may be somewhat of a hatchback
I cant wait to see whatever they have in store tho.
All show and no go . . .
Your car looks fast, but why's it so slo.

After being undecided for some time about the new styling of the 5 and 7, let me say that...

I dont like the new look on the 7's (but I LOVE the previous year body style), but I do on the 5's. and after seeing the new 5's... then going back to the old 5 style... the old is plain-jane.

M's cars are always very nice, but if i have the cash i would buy mercedes. they improve their styling alot this 2 years. V10 500hp is good but nothing beats a SL(well ya there are) the styling is perfect. Besides hp to these 2 companies are just numbers, but while they are racing hp on N/A platform, MB is playing dirty(cant say cheap) and put turbos in.
but i think buying the new M5 is alittle be silly, image how much it cost to drive to work and home each day

Husband, wife team up on undergraduate art exhibit
Posted: March 25th, 2013
MATRIMONIAL WHIMSY – Husband and wife student artists Judy and David Walker pose with their creations during a "Seasons of Life" exhibit being shown in Lake Superior State University's Shouldice Library Art Gallery through March 28 as part of their graduation requirements. The Walkers began attending LSSU in 2010 after moving to Michigan from Alabama in 2008. They decided to finish their college studies that they both started in the 1960s. The exhibit contains a lifetime of art experience. "Over the years I have engaged in many different forms of art," said Judy. "However, it wasn't until I decided to finish my education that I began mixing the various mediums into my own style of art." Her portion of the display includes prints, acrylic/oil paintings, marbling, and mixed media pieces. The art is realistic and abstract, interpreting nature. Aside from the library, Judy has two art pieces on display now in the Noyes Galley of the LSSU Arts Center. David's senior project, which is also titled "Seasons of Life," depicts a lifetime of commitment concerning the worldwide impact of non-degradable environmental waste. His portion of the display consists of woodworking, lighting novelties, and sculptures made from recycled material that many would have considered as junk. "Art has provided a way for me to show the public that non-degradable environmental waste is everyone's problem," he said. "A solution to this problem could be to be more creative, and find useful and rewarding ideas to use the waste." Check out their display anytime the library is open. (LSSU/John Shibley)

Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj & Ke$ha Remix Released
Britney Spears just released a remix with Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha!
The pop singer just released the new remix and tweeted, "You ladies think they are ready for the final version of the #TTWEremix? 17 hours till the femme fatales hit the air. Th-Th-This is the remix!" Spears also suprised partygoers at the West Hollywood club The Factory on saturday night when she dropped by at 1 am much to the surprise of everyone. Six fans got so excited that they had to be removed from the club because they started hyperventillating. A source said that, "[It] was complete pandemonium. They literally fainted when Britney walked onto the stage where Nicki was hanging. People were crowd surfing to get to the stage. Screams were so loud for Nicki and Brit you couldn't hear the music. Bouncers couldn't hold the crowd back."

Howard's vital endgame
Page Tools
Illustration: Spooner
Dissent within the ranks is disturbing for John Howard and it's not clear how much he is willing to concede, writes Shaun Carney.
Do you remember the highway billboards erected during summers by fire-fighting authorities that described fire as a useful servant but a dangerous master? As a kid, I was confounded and not a little terrified by this message and had to ask my father what it meant. His back welded to the Holden's vinyl-covered bench seat, he explained that, no, a comic book-style Fire Overlord creature was not at large; a form of symbolism was at work - you had to keep fire under control, lest it control you.
That slogan has seemed fitting as the Howard Government's first week of controlling both houses of Parliament has unfolded. The Prime Minister has made tremendous political capital during the past 10 years as he has deployed "values" to blindside his opponents and stake out new philosophical territory. Fairness, patriotism, the preservation of Australian ideals and our borders, mateship, the selflessness of the diggers, old-fashioned discipline in schools, the qualities of the stay-at-home mum - these subjects and more have served him well.
But "values", like fire, can turn on you. The arrival in Canberra of the newly elected Nationals senator from Queensland, Barnaby Joyce, has been a reminder of that. What is Joyce on about if it is not values? The values of parliamentary democracy and the obligation to represent the interests of your constituents. The values of the workplace. The values of shared responsibility for institutions such as universities. The original values of his party.
There is a sort of well-intentioned naivety about the 38-year-old former accountant that recalls the lead characters of Frank Capra's films and it is difficult to escape the feeling that the pressure he faced from some of his Liberal colleagues this week was only a taste of what's to come. Canberra can be a very lonely place if you find yourself on the wrong side of too many people.
Joyce's intervention has broken the edifice of solidarity within the Government over long-cherished ideological and policy positions.
So he might, as many within the ALP predict, go to water when he finally has to vote on the Telstra privatisation, the new workplace relations laws and the introduction of voluntary student unionism.
But even if he does, Joyce has already altered the political debate. In the short term, his performance so far has left the Government's ruling clique discombobulated, knocked right out of its comfort zone. In the longer term, Joyce's intervention has broken the edifice of solidarity within the Government over long-cherished ideological and policy positions.
This is far more threatening for the Prime Minister and his senior ministers than the recent campaign by Victorian backbencher Petro Georgiou and a small group of like-minded MPs over mandatory detention, an issue that was nowhere near as central to the Government's fourth-term agenda as Telstra and workplace relations.
The questions that Joyce has introduced are: What is this all for? Is it worth it? How many of our own people are we hurting?
These were the guiding principles of the Nationals' party, back when it was set up as the Country Party after the First World War by Earle Page.
One of the chief purposes of the party was to protect non-urban Australians from the unchecked progress of city-based capital. The party was set up to protect the people who voted for it - to use their political leverage to win special consideration either through market protection or extra hand-outs from the public purse.
If Liberal MPs want to squeal and sneer about a bit of extra rent-seeking by the Nationals over the Telstra sale, they should take a cold shower: their Coalition partners have been up to that caper since Day 1. It's why the Nationals exist.
And is anybody seriously suggesting that the rural Queenslanders who elected Joyce to the Senate actually want Telstra fully privatised without massive ironclad guarantees about future service levels?
It's not too hard to see how people in the bush might be sceptical even about such guarantees. There now seems general agreement that simply to get telecommunications services outside the cities to a decent, fully wired standard will cost $5 billion. What does this say about the previous grand flourishes by Telstra and the Government designed to get the bush phone system up to scratch on the way to softening up the electorate for a full sell-off - the inquiries and the recommendations, and pledges of extra money and the rebadging of Telstra in country Australia?
And still the network is below par to the tune of $5 billion! In the light of this recent history, it's fair to say that Joyce, by throwing up a few roadblocks and asking a few questions, is simply doing his job.
Meanwhile, in the cities, the Government is getting pummelled over values in the workplace relations debate. Just in terms of the mechanics, it probably deserves what it is getting. Even for a Government as powerful and, until recently, as disciplined as this one, it's a bit of an overreach to simply roll out some broad proposals that will affect every workplace in the nation, assure everyone that it's only a very mild reform, and then expect everyone - including the union movement, which is in the fight of its life - to sit around for months waiting for the legislation.
Again, the carefully laid-out suite of values that had underpinned Howard's political primacy - reward for effort, the focus on the family, the shared responsibilities within each enterprise - have been upset by the "is this going to be worth it?" question. The ACTU's wildly successful public campaign has zeroed in on exactly that, with the suggestion that the Government wants to rupture the lives of ordinary people and their families.
Of course, if there is one capacity that the Prime Minister has demonstrated over the years, it's his willingness to make concessions on policy in order to staunch the flow of his own political blood. But this is now the end game: he really cares about workplace relations and Telstra. It's not clear how much he is willing to concede.
Nor is it clear how willing his Liberal deputy, Peter Costello - increasingly toey about taking over in the top job - will be to sit back and watch policies that he cares about perhaps even more than Howard being wound back to keep Joyce and any other dissidents inside the Coalition tent.
Howard will need to play it very delicately. If he does not, another fault line within the Government could open up, one that does not involve a fresh young senator with idealistic notions about parliamentary representation but between a Prime Minister and a Treasurer who is getting tired of waiting.

Keyword Brainstorming
Before you start your research, brainstorm some broader, narrower and/or related keywords to help with your research. These keywords can come from your own knowledge of your topic or from searching background information.
Let's say I am in the beginning stages of my research on portraiture on coins from the Roman Republic.

Visit the OneSearch FAQ to learn all about how to use the library's new online OneSearch tool to find articles, books and more. Or, watch the How to Use OneSearch video:
Boolean Operators
Boolean operators are words (or, and, not) used to connect search terms to expand (or) or narrow (and, not) a search within a database to locate relevant information. Boolean operators are also called logical operators or connectors.
It is helpful to diagram the effects of these operators:
women or females
|Or retrieves records that contain any of the search terms. It expands the search. Therefore, use "or" in between terms that have the same meaning (synonyms) or equal value to the search.
women and media
|And retrieves records that contain all of the search terms. It narrows or limits the search. Therefore, use "and" in between terms that are required to make the search specific.
image not weight
|Not eliminates records that contain a search term. It narrows or limits the search. Therefore, use "not" in front of a term to ensure that the search will not include that term. Warning: Some databases use "and not" instead of "not." Check the database help screen.

What's a Bibliography?
A bibliography is a list of all of the sources that you consult in the process of researching your work. It should follow a specific citation style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.). Each citation includes elements such as:
- Author(s)' names
- Title
- Date published
- Name and place of publisher
The goal is to provide enough information for your readers to locate the resources you cite.

CRAAP Test
When you search for resources, you're likely going to find a lot of information... but is it reliable? You will need to determine this for yourself, and the CRAAP Test can help. Try evaluating the resource on the following five factors:
- Currency - is it current? Is currency important for the topic?
- Relevance - is it relevant to your assignment? Who is the audience?
- Authority - is the author/creator an expert on the subject?
- Accuracy - is the information supported by evidence?
- Purpose - is it biased? Is the resource trying to sell you on something?
- Most databases allow for a symbol to be used at the end of a word to retrieve variant endings of that word. This is known as truncation.
- Using truncation will broaden your search. For example,
bank* will retrieve: bank or banks or banking or banker or bankruptcy, etc.
- Databases and Internet search engines use different symbols to truncate. In general, most of the Library's databases use the asterisk (*) ; however, the exclamation point (!) is used in LexisNexis. Check the database help screen to find the correct truncation symbol.
- Be careful using truncation. Truncating after too few letters will retrieve terms that are not relevant. For example:
cat* will also retrieve cataclysm, catacomb, catalepsy, catalog, etc.
It's best to use the boolean operator "or" in these instances (cat or cats).

Now a basketball player? You must be Usain
By Steve Ginsburg
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Usain Bolt, do not quit your day job.
The world's fastest man played in a celebrity basketball game on Friday in the run-up to Sunday's NBA All-Star game and failed to impress the crowd -- or himself -- with his skills.
Bolt hit one of five shots, missed both of his free throws and totaled just two points in 29 minutes. The only shot the six-times Olympic champion made was a dunk.
The Jamaican sprinter, whose East team was blitzed by the West 58-38, said he was surprised that his opponents took the game so seriously.
"The West team really played hard," Bolt told Reuters. "I was just taking my time and these guys were running up and down hard.
"They were up by 20 in the fourth quarter and they were in a full-court press. I'm thinking, 'This is not a celebrity game.' They were serious."
Bolt said he did not get the ball enough.
Perhaps that was because he missed an uncontested lay-in, had a three-footer clang off the rim, and failed to capitalize on his four offensive rebounds. Continued...

I have only just begun to meet you, recognize your style, and learn about your interests from your stories. I have only just begun to encourage you with my comments, to share how I connected and hope you will continue.
Wait… Tuesdays are here. The slicing can continue.
