All eyes are on China's human rights issues again yesterday when Xu Zhiyong, the founder of a New Citizens' Movement that aims at promoting civil society and rule of law in China, went on trial in Beijing. At the same time, Wang Gongquan, billionaire entrepreneur who has been a main leader and the financial backer of the movement, was released on bail after making "confessions" that he and Xu "had organized and incited criminal activities to assemble a crowd to disrupt order in public space."
While Wang's family may be happy to have him back for the coming Spring Festival, those who have been following the case closely are having a hard time making sense of the "confession."
Many insisted that Wang didn't actually confess, and it was only a trick by the government to crash the image of an "iconic liberal activist." Some others thought there was nothing wrong to confess to protect oneself. The most interesting conversation of all is one on the social responsibilities of businessmen in China.
Ever since the arrest of Wang in September, 2013, there have been discussions of whether businessmen in China should meddle with politics at all. On one hand, money and power always go hand in hand in China, especially in the real estate industry where Wang made his fortunes. On the other, the old Chinese saying that "businessmen speak only about business (在商言商)" is still held very dearly by many.
Wang Shi, one of China's best known real estate tycoon, once urged his fellow businessmen and entrepreneurs to "break silence" because "no one is safe under the current political environment in China." In a sense, he is right.
In 2013 alone, we've seen the hasty execution of one Hunan developer whose assets were sold off at cheap prices by local government. We've also seen the arrest and detention of prominent angel investor Charles Xu for online rumor mongering. And then the arrest of Wang Gongquan. The rich and resourceful in China don't have much power…unless they are also one of the political elites.
For the exact same reason, however, many more Chinese businessmen choose to keep stronger silence. Liu Chuanzhi, the founder of Lenovo, said last summer: "From now on, we businessmen should keep it simple – business is business, and no politics. Our primary responsibility under the current political and economic environment in China is to do good business." Jack Ma, the founder of China's ecommerce giant Alibaba, once suggested: "No matter where you are, the government will be the same. Love the government, but don't marry it or do business with it." He though that it'd be very dangerous for businessmen to worry about politics, and for politicians to worry about businesses.
Feng Lun, another real estate tycoon, thus explained why he never talked about Wang Gongquan's case: "I don't approve of businessmen doing non-business stuff. As entrepreneurs, our core responsibility is to run our businesses, which, in itself, is a good thing for social improvement. It's far better than shouting a few slogans like a liberal intellectual. It's also wrong for the media and the liberals to force businessmen into going after 'the truth.' Businessmen should only go after capital."
Wang Guanquan once said he missed a lot of opportunities because he refused to follow the stream. In China, business is business only when one chooses to be part of the corruption or at least keeps a blind eye. Business is never business in China.
[...] Meanwhile, Offbeat China looks at how the detention of Wang Gongquan, Charles Xue, and other socially conscious businessmen is prompting more and more entrepreneurs to stay out of politically sensitive situations: [...]
[...] Wang Gongquan and the inconvenient "confession" of a billionaire activist [...]

There is a pattern in The Knitters' Bible (pg. 152) It's a blue knit gift bag. I am adapting it to be a 6 yr olds purse. Just adding 2" in width. Add then probably hieght. Anyway the pattern says make 2 the same size 6" x 6" (those are my numbers) then sew them together. My question is could I make one 12" long and just sew up the sides? Does that make sense? Anyone have this book? ~Thanks
I think that makes ALOT of sense....Ive made several bags that way & they are fabulous!

Re: Simplifying in Mathematica
Define a function (depending on the variables B,b,A,a,c,d...etc,
all of them) equal to your expression, and compute it at many points.
If the expression is 0, the result should always be 0. Notice that if
your expression is a polynomial or rational and you choose your

Texturing a painted barnwood wall
My husband and I have a rental to fix up. There is an unsightly wall of painted barnwood. We cannot remove the barnwood as there is a cement basement wall behind it. We were thinking of applying one of the new textured clays or epoxys which can be applied with a trowel. Any suggestions regarding best material to use? We would like the finish to be thin and durable. Part of the barnwood goes beside and behind the kitchen stove, so the wall finish must be washable and heat resistant.
I think you've reached an oxymoronic impasse with the thin washable and heat resistant wood covering.
I'm just saying...
Paint the wall.

Historical records matching Edward Dalton
Immediate Family
About Edward Dalton
Biographical Summary:
Edward Dalton (1827- was born March 23, 1827, on a farm called Dalton Hollow in the Township of Wysox, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of John Dalton, Jr., and Rebecca Cranmer. He had gray eyes and black hair. He stood five feet ten inches tall and weighed 190 pounds. Edward traveled
with his family to Michigan, Wisconsin and then to Nauvoo, Illinois about 1843. Edward was baptized on June 4th, 1843.
Edward Dalton 3 wives;
- Mary Elizabeth Meeks on May 6 1848 and they had 12 children.
- Jane Bensen on Oct. 9 1855.
- Lizzina Elizabeth Warren on Jan. 14 1883 and they had 7 children.
Mormon Battalion:
Edward helped build the Nauvoo Temple in Illinois, and contributed and assisted in the erecting of every Temple up to the time of his death. When the call came from the President of the United States for 500 able bodied Latter-day Saints to march across the country to California to defend the country from Mexico, Edward and his brother Harry, and his nephew Henry Simon Dalton enlisted in the Mormon Battalion. Edward and Harry belonged to Company "C", known as the Santa Fe detachment. The Captain was John Brown, Edward and Harry were both privates. Edward was taken sick along the way so he could only make part of the trip. There being a numerous Mexican population in the Territory of Colorado, this detachment along with sick members were sent to to Pueblo, Colorado. Here they were joined by a small company of Saints from Mississippi and Illinois. They spent the winter of 1846-1847 in Pueblo.
It was this group of Mormans who first established the Anglo- Saxon civilization there. They held the first religious service in English, taught the first school, and erected the first Meeting House. The first white child born in Pueblo was a girl born to Mormon parents.
This detachment of the Morman Battalion arrived in the Salt Lake Valley and were greeted by Brigham Young on July 29th, 1847.
More about this Pueblo detachment that arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in July of 1847.
The Pueblo detachments and remaining Mississippi Saints, under Captain James Brown, left Pueblo May 24. They gradually gained on the vanguard company until they were only a day behind at the ferry on the Platte River. Finding a blacksmith, they decided to stop to get their animals shod. Next they followed the Platte River to the Sweetwater River on to Independence Rock. After they passed Devil's Gate, they celebrated the anniversary of their enlistment, July 16. "At daylight there was a salute of small arms in honor of our enlistment and more especially the finishing of our one year's service to Uncle Sam, and to let every one of Uncle Sam's officers know we were our own men once more."
On July 28 they had their first view of Salt Lake Valley. Abner Blackburn and several others climbed a mountain crest and were impressed by "the grandest view that ever mortal beheld, the air was clear and perfect for a great view, the great Salt Lake glistening under the sun's rays, range after range of mountains in every direction, the great desert to the west and Utah lake to the south east and the mountains beyond. A more sublime view was seldom seen from a mountain top."
On July 29, 1847, President Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, Willard Richards, George Albert Smith, Amasa Lyman, Wilford Woodruff, Ezra T. Benson and five other authorities rode on horseback to the mouth of Emigration Canyon, where they met the incoming Pueblo colonists. A violent thunderstorm prevented a grand welcome, but a fife and drum corps greeted the new arrivals. Thomas Bullock described the formation: "Council & Officers first, Infantry next with Martial Music, then followed the Cavalry—with baggage wagons bringing up the rear."
Captain Brown led 29 wagons filled with soldiers, their families, and Mississippi Saints to a campsite about one half mile north of the temple lot. The next morning, July 30, Brigham Young and the Council of Twelve Apostles met with the battalion officers and told them, "Your going into the army has saved the lives of thousands of people."
Since their enlistment period had expired, Brigham Young and the church authorities decided to disband the three detachments and not have them continue to California for severance pay as originally planned. That evening in a general meeting for the Saints Brigham Young spoke until he was hoarse. He expressed a warm feeling toward the soldiers and requested that the men build a bowery on the temple lot so they could hold their meetings in the shade.
On July 31 Brigham Young assumed command and assigned the soldiers to gather brush for the bowery. They built a comfortable shelter forty by twenty-eight feet in size. During that week the soldiers continued to work under church direction, cultivating the soil and making adobe bricks for both living quarters and the fort. The addition of the men from Pueblo greatly aided in the heavy work in the valley during those early months.
Edward Dalton was called on by Brigham Young to assist the surveyors in laying out Salt Lake City.
On March 6, 1848, Edward was married to Elizabeth Meeks by Brigham Young. His vocation being that of a farmer and lawyer.
In January, 1852 they moved to Parowan, Utah where he took an active part in the improvement of that community. He was a leader in governmental, church, and military affairs. Mr. Dalton's second wife was Jane Benson. He also married Lezina Elizabeth Warren.
The settlement Of "Little Salt Lake" Valley--Parowan
In December, 1850, a company which numbered 118 men, in which there were thirty families, with 101 wagons, left the Salt Lake colony for "Little Salt Lake valley," to make a settlement. The "valley" takes its name from a small body of saline water on the east side of what is now Iron county, and just east of the Escalante wide, desert valley. This undertaking was in further fulfillment of the promise made to Walker, the Utah chief, that settlers would be sent to his country. The party was under the leadership of George A. Smith, cousin of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and a very practical, sturdy character, henceforth active and prominent in nearly all the colonizing movements in southern Utah.
The company of settlers arrived in Little Salt Lake valley, over 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, on the 13th of January, 1851, and settled on a mountain stream "about three yards wide, one foot deep, with rapid current, and gravel bottom and banks;" afterwards called "Center Creek." The first site of the settlement, after thorough exploration of the surrounding country, was made permanent, and named Parowan, after a Utah Indian chief of the vicinity. The settlers were welcomed by Chief Peteeneet and his people, a miserable tribe known as "Piedes," who expressed themselves as pleased that the brethren were settling in their valley. Peteeneet said his tribes owned the country--a declaration afterwards confirmed by Chief Walker. The pipe of peace was smoked by the Indians and whites.
Canarrah, another Piede chief, having first sent in one of his braves to ascertain if it would be safe for him to venture into the settlers' camp, paid them a visit. "His apparel consisted of a pair of moccasins, short leggings, and a kind of small cloak made of rabbit-skins. He was tall and stately in appearance, though apparently suffering from hunger. His followers were not as well dressed, being really specimens of humanity in its most degraded form."
In March Chiefs Walker and Peteeneet and about seventy braves visited the settlement and smoked the peace pipe with President George A. Smith. Walker was very friendly and expressed the desire to build a house and teach his children to work. He represented that he had visited all the Indian bands in the surrounding country and advised them to be friendly with the colonists, and not disturb even a brute belonging to them. The object of his visit was to exchange horses for cattle as his people were in need of beef. Walker made known his intention of making a raid into California, but President George A. Smith persuaded him not to go, warning him of the likelihood of coming in contact with United States troops.
In the first year the settlers built a fort, at Parowan, inclosing a stockade for their cattle and horses, and on the bastions of the fort placed their cannon in such manner as to command two sides of the fort. Later other settlements sprang up in Little Salt Lake valley, but Parowan marked the southern limits of the settlements founded during the actual existence of the "State of Deseret."
In May, 1851, the settlement was visited by Brigham Young and a party of church leaders. They were met some distance from the Center Creek settlement by a large company of horsemen and escorted into the fort, amid the salute of cannons and the rejoicing of the people. Public meetings were held through three successive days--11th, 12th and 13th of May. The counsel of President Young to these settlers was of unusual interest, and is thus recorded by himself:
"I spoke upon the importance of the Iron county mission and the advantages of the brethren fulfilling it. I advised them to buy up the Lamanite children as fast as they could, and educate them, and teach them the gospel, so that not many generations would pass ere they would become a white and delightsome people, and said that the Lord could not have devised a better plan than to have put us where we were, in order to accomplish that thing. I knew the Indians would dwindle away, but let a remnant of the seed of Joseph be saved. I told the brethren to have the logs or pickets of their fort so close that the Indians could not shoot arrows through. I recommended the adoption of the Indian name Parowan for the city."
Edward Dalton and his family settled in Parowan, Iron County, Ut. after being called to the Iron County Mission by Brigham Young in 1851. Here their children Edward Meeks, Joseph Priddy, John Cranmer, Franklin Stephens, Ida Mary, and Ada Elizabeth Dalton were born. His family bore all the hardships of pioneer life without murmur, always keeping an open house and never turning anyone away. The visiting authorities from the north and most of the people that come up from Dixie to sell fruit stayed at his home. He was a man of great faith and a student of history. Edward surveyed and layed out the city of Parowan and took a prominent part in helping to divide the water of Center Creek, both for city and field purposes. He also surveyed the City of Panguitch. He was one of the first Mayors of Parowan and his name is attached to many original deeds for Lots in the city.
Ranching in the Early Days In Iron County
(Source: Heart Throbs of the West Volume 12)
One of the first ranches was owned by Edward Dalton and Robert Miller, north and a little east of the Cheney meadow. They milked cows, made cheese and butter all summer, spring, and fall for many years. John West owned a ranch and dairy a little south of the Dalton Ranch. William Adams ran a dairy on his land east of the Dalton Ranch, right next to the Paragoonah fields. Zach. Decker owned a pasture a little south and west of the Cheney Meadow, but did not do much ranching.
In Parowan, Edward took a leading role in all the labors for the improvement of the country, serving as alderman, mayor, probate judge, and being a representative in the legislature. He was a leader in the military operations in the Mormon War, 1857, and the Blackhawk wars with the Indians. In June 1866 Indian raiders plundered Beaver of a herd of cattle. Edward Dalton's militia Company routed the Indians and saved the cattle. (Edward Dalton was Captain of the Militia for the protection of the people. He was noted for his fearlessness and was afraid fo nothing, yet he would nor go blindly into a trail.
On New Year's day, 1870, the men were called out of a dance as the alarm was given that the Navajos had rounded up about 500 head of horses. Among the men who started up Parowan Canyon were the following: Capt. Edward Dalton, Sydney Burton, Horace Smith, Samuel Orton, Peter Wimmer, Johnathan Prethro, Hugh L. Adams, Charles Adams, James J. Adams, Ed Clark, Ed Ward, Nels Holingshead, Wm. C. Mitchell, Henry Harrop, Oscar Lyman, Hy Paramore, Bill Lister, John Butler, Heber Benson, Tom Butler, Allen Miller and Tom Yardley. There was so much snow in Parowan Canyon that after attempting to traverse it, they ascended Little Creek Canyon. The men did not overtake the Indians because of the deep snow. They went over to the East Fork of the Sevier River, with no success, so Captain Dalton gave the order to go home. Some of the men wanted to proceed further, but their captain was impressed to go home and all the men followed him. It was learned from scouting parties that they had avoided annihilation from hordes of ambushed Redmen. (Luella Adams Dalton.)
Note: Muster roll of the Company C, 1st Battalion, 10th Regiment of the Legion of Nauvoo, Commanded by Captain Jesse N. Smith mustarted in the Iron County Military District, Parowan. 10th day of Oct. 1857; Edward Dalton.
Once when Daniel Clark was sheriff, they got onto the trail of a bunch of cattle rustlers, who had driven off a large bunch of cattle from the north of the valley. William West and Edward Dalton offered to help Sheriff Clark. They rode hard to get on their trail, and the second day out spotted the cattle, just before sundown. They planned to camp for the night and surprise them early in the morning. They made camp in an old shack close by. Shortly after making camp William West became violently ill with a pain in his side. The men talked over what was best to do, and decided to send one of the men over to St. George for a doctor. With the snow completely covering all traces of the trail in the darkness, they decided to wait until daylight to go. Before morning Mr. West became so bad, that he passed away with what was most likely a ruptured appendix. When morning came they rolled him in a quilt, packing snow around him and bound him on his horse, and started home with him on his horse. He was a fine man. He left a wife and three children, one boy and two little girls to mourn his early death.--Luella A. Dalton
While In Parowan Edward served on the High Council. On Feb. 15th, 1865, Erastus Snow stopped in Parowan on his way to St. George and organized the 9th quoram of Seventies. He ordained seven President, one of whom was Edward Dalton.
Parowan Stake House is one of the old-time structures erected less than fifteen years after the arrival of the first pioneers. It was built in 1862 of stone at a cost of $10,000, and, strange to say, has never been dedicated. The height of the building is 28 feet with 45 by 50 feet outside measurement. It has a seating capacity of 800, and has seven rooms. The architects were Ebenezer Hanks, Edward Dalton, and William A. Warren. The house stands in the center of an eight-acre block. An entrance to the building leads from each side of the block. On either side of the paths leading from the gates, are avenues of trees, some ornamental and some fruit. A man is paid to take care of the grounds and do the janitor work in the building. Part of the grounds are used for raising crops. The President of the stake, Lucius N. Marsden, in giving a description of the building, says: "If the people would now build a meeting house according to their means, as the people did in 1862, we would have a most magnificent building."
Edward Dalton was gifted in dramatics. He was the President and Director of the Parowan Dramatic Association for many years. They tell the story that Edward and James Adams were fighting a duel in the early plays. They both were so stubborn that neither one gave up so they had to roll the curtain down.
As Mayor of Parowan City in 1874, Edward Dalton was a delegate to the Territorial Legislature, and while in this capacity, he entered a large tract of 760 acres for the first deeds to land in the valley,
farms and city lots. After Fort Cameron was established at Beaver, there was some trouble about land rights. The settlers had held their farms and homes only by squatters rights. Now all the land they held had deeds. One of the first ranches was owned by Edward Dalton and Robert Miller. It was to the North an a little east of the Chimney Meadow, where they milked cows and made cheese and butter, all summer, spring and fall for many years.

Parowan. The greatest celebration of the 4th of July that ever took place in Parowan was held. All were invited to participate, without regard to age, sex, color, caste, creed, previous condition, &c.
There was a grand procession in the morning at half-past eight o'clock—a splendidly mounted front and rear guard; thirteen young ladies dressed in white, drawn in a chariot by four beautifully decorated chargers, each young lady bearing a banner with the respective name inscribed of the state she was representing of the thirteen original states; forty-eight young ladies dressed in white, each bearing a beautiful banner with the name inscribed thereon of the state or territory she was representing of the present number of the United States and Territories; Sunday School children; citizens on horseback, &c. A great many banners appropriate to the centennial celebration were borne aloft by different parties through the procession. All were accompanied by the sweet strains of the brass and martial bands.
The procession marched through a number of streets to the meetinghouse, which had been beautifully adorned for the occasion with a beautiful arch at the entrance made of evergreens and flowers, also another arch of the same kind over the stand. The walls of the house were decorated with evergreens, flowers, banners, paintings and the Stars and Stripes. Over the stand was a fine portrait of General Washington, and another of President Young. Hon. Edward Dalton, mayor of Parowan, delivered a grand historical and patriotic oration, other short and appropriate speeches were delivered and fine patriotic songs were rendered by Prof. Thomas Durham and the choir. Double the usual amount of firing of cannon was indulged in throughout the day. The citizens were serenaded by the brass, martial and string bands at intervals during the day. A dance in the afternoon and evening, closing at 11 p.m., ended the day's celebration.

SOURCE: Dalton, Rodney G. ; "The History of Edward Dalton; son of John Dalton Jr."
Son of John Dalton & Rebecca Turner Cranmer
Married Elizabeth Mary Dalton, 6 Mar 1848, Salt Lake City, Utah
Married Lizzina Elizabeth Warren, 14 Jun 1882, St. George, Washington, Utah
There were three Dalton men whom were members of the Mormon Battalion; One was a cousin of the other two. These three were Henry Simon Dalton, the son of Henry Dalton who died in Wysox Penn in 1833 and two sons of John Dalton Jr.; Harry Dalton & Edward Dalton. Henry Simon was assigned to Company B and the two brothers, Harry & Edward were assigned to Company D.
These three had many hardships by volunteering for service on 16 July 1846. Henry Simon Dalton was the only one to make the trip all the way to California. After his discharge he made his way up the coast of California to San Francisco where he meet and courted his future wife, Elizabeth Kittleman. Harry & Edward on the other hand were not so lucky! After the Battalion arrived in Santa Fe they were reassigned to Lieutenant W. W. Willis' sick detachment and were forced to winter at Fort Pueblo, Colorado.
After Brigham Young gave word for this group to start for Utah, it took six days for the three detachments and remaining Saints to load their wagons. They started out at noon on May 24 1847. Harry & Edward Dalton left Pueblo with these other Battalion members and finally arrived in the Great Salt Lake Valley only a few days after Brigham Young's original Company arrived on July 24th, 1847.
Edward Dalton did in fact join up again with his cousin Henry Simon in California some time later according to Norma Baldwin Ricketts in her book; "The Mormon Battalion, U.S. Army of the West, 1846 – 1848". He probably went with Captain James Brown who had orders to go to California to see if he could pick up the muster-out pay that was owed to all ex-Battalion members who were in the sick Detachment Company.
All three of these Dalton's eventually made it to Utah where they had a long and good life.
Henry Simon Dalton was with the Hancock-Los Angeles Company. He was to travel with Jefferson Hunt's company of fifty-one to Northern California.

Office of Community Engagement celebrates a year of success
Posted by Matthew Privratsky '11, Walker on Monday, Nov. 22, 2010
After spending more than six years splitting time between teaching English courses and being the service learning coordinator, Argie Manolis is now the full-time coordinator for the new Office of Community Engagement at the University of Minnesota, Morris. The office was created in 2009 to fulfill the needs of the campus that were formerly addressed by the service learning office in the Faculty Center and by Community Service and Volunteerism in the Office of Student Activities.
As stated on the Morris website, "The Office of Community Engagement seeks to engage members of the broader community and University of Minnesota, Morris students, faculty, and staff in meaningful, reciprocal course-based and co-curricular partnerships."
It's not always as simple as students and members of the community both signing up to take part in the process. Whether considering the schedules and goals of both parties and location of the project, it can get a little more complicated. Says Manolis, "It can be somewhat like match-making." And based on the positive feedback the office gets, a happy marriage is not too crazy an analogy.
For every student there is a different project that will work best, and vise-versa. At each point in a student's time at Morris, there is a certain kind of opportunity that will be most appropriate.
"We work with both individuals and groups to find projects," shares Manolis. "We offer opportunities for students to get a taste of community engagement through fall and spring service days, Trick or Can, Halloween in the Halls, holiday projects to benefit people in poverty, Six-Ton Campaign, a monthly dialogue series called Soup & Substance, and a monthly community meal. We help match individual students to opportunities that fit their interests and goals, and also help student organizations, athletic teams, and residence hall floors plan projects.
The Office of Community Engagement has worked to perfect the process of deciphering opportunities. Its web page offers information on available projects, the process for setting up a project, and the assessment that helps the office evaluate how the entire process worked for all parties involved.
With an established process, Manolis has also been able to incorporate different service-learning projects into numerous classes at Morris. Every year, about 20 different courses build projects into their class work, with every academic division represented. Service-learning courses include community-based research, community building, and direct service projects. In service-learning classes, students apply what they are learning in class to help meet community needs. This semester, service-learning course projects have ranged from creating artwork for the local public library to conducting a research project on social inclusion requested by several community organizations.
As more projects are successfully completed, more UMM faculty and students become interested in getting involved. And with a new office focused completely on community engagement, it should be even easier for more people to take advantage of such great opportunities.

Marty you are: consider yourself sitting in quite shadow of a long row of marine pine trees as a soft breeze gently caresses your skin. Rome virtually welcomes you to feel as if you were here, providing you with the energy and inspiration to keep you writing more great stuff. ;-)
Liz Wilson's comment, July 1, 2012 11:20 AM
Hi Marty, I guess you have read *Likeonomics* - a whole book that echoes your idea that "people can buy anything from anyone now so they buy from people they like, people who they can love, respect and want to be around". So true! Makes it a nicer world, though, doesn't it?

Douglas Voorheis Manifesto
Develop domestic forms of fuel, establish a reinvestment of the tax dollars gleaned from the revenue and reinvest it into renewable forms of energy. Stop sending trillions of dollars over seas to purchase oil from countries that support terrorism. Set a 10 year plan into action to wean the US from importing fuel from Communist or terrorist supporting nations.
20 percent tariffs on all China made goods immediately; rising by 5 percent each year for each year China refuses to revalue their currency. Make it illegal to import goods of any kind from Socialist, communist, dictatorship nations of any kind. Any time you go to the store and buy shit stamped made in china, you are supporting our enemy.
Defend our borders. Arizona is doing what the US government is not willing to do. Finish the fence between the US and Mexico. Kill any illegal's invading our country; send their corpse home with a trebuchet.
Eliminate all public assistance for able-bodied recipients. Cut off all public assistance for immigrants for five years. Repatriate those who are not working, after two years.
Change unemployment to be a self funded program in which a percentage of your hourly wage is invested into a fund that has a guaranteed interest rate of 1-1/2% over the rate of inflation, that will be paid back by a monthly draw over a two year period or at time of disability or retirement. When the monies in the account are used up, your no longer receive payment.
All out war on any group or nation that attacks the US. Destroy Pakistan if necessary; get out of Afghanistan. Those people cannot be taught differently it is in their heritage, let them dominate each other.
Eliminate all public assistance for able-bodied recipients. Cut off all public assistance for immigrants for five years. Repatriate those who are not working, after two years.
Make abortions illegal, except when the physical survival of the mother is threatened, to be determined by three medical doctors. Require Norplant for all women on welfare of childbearing age.
Encourage child bearing among taxpaying citizens. Create a marriage incentive, through lower taxes for married heterosexual couples. And a government subsidy for each child conceived and carried to birth. Increase the subsidies for each year the couple remains married.
Eliminate all foreign ownership of any American media entity. Two, break up overly large conglomerates, like News Corporation. Three, Stop Governmental incentive and financial support of any news, radio, or broadcasting agency.
Limit the size of state and federal government.
Institute Capital punishment for any individual, convicted of a felony three times. Immediately. Make a public spectacle of the event so that people know there is punishment for improper behavior.

He's back!
San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski's two goals against the New England Revolution on Saturday night vaulted the reigning Golden Boot winner into the lead for this year's honors — sort of.
Wondo is now in a three-way tie with D.C. United midfielder Dwayne De Rosario and New York Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry.
And, with less than two weeks to go in the MLS regular season, the pack is not far behind. An additional six players are within three goals of catching the leaders.
So who comes up big down the stretch, and who misfires?

Mods - I was gona post this in the off topic section but didn't know if it was better over at Bob's place, please move it if needed.
As some of you might have read in a few of my posts, I am from Puerto Rico, spent some time in active duy in the Marines, and now I am attending college full time in Puerto Rico's public university system - the University of Puerto Rico. I am majoring in political science - because I hate most politicians I have met so far, and something tells me I can make a better job than what they are doing.
Last week I was nominated for my college's student council, I posted a few "what I want to do if I get elected" notices around the campus, and told a few people to go vote for whomever they felt was better, not just for me. I also got the ball rolling to start a veterans organization on campus - the faculty really liked that idea; most think highly of the veterans, while hating Bush and the people on active duty, I don't really get it, but o'well.
I was also thinking about starting a pro-gun organization on campus, but the Puerto Rico goverment being so anti-gun, I don't know if my idea is such a good idea after all. My logic behind the pro-gun org is that: 1) most students have never handled a firearm, 2) can't handle a firearm with out a state permit (that runs close to $250) or 3) unless it is a school course - wich is non existant, unless you join the ROTC. Basically I want to take the message - hey we live in a high crime area, heres a tool that you can use to protect yourself/loved ones, once you get the adecuate training. If I open the org, I get some school funds for supplies, an oficial website through the colleges official website (so I can post progun stuff/translate some of the things I've learned over time through forums - combatcarry included ;), and I get to use auditoriums/a full size theater -seats like 500+ people (hey maybe I can host my own version of a Shot show - yeah right!). Also thought about getting sponsors/NRA education/even talking to the CMP people.
Do you guys see this pro-gun org as a good idea? See any things that might back fire if I start it? Any advice? Basically, if you were a 19-21 y/o, on college, and you found this org that talked about the second ammendment and gave you info on guns/personal defense/brought people to talk about it/etc, would you have been interested on it? I've talked to alot of female students about it and they are really interested (we had a serial rapist attack several female students during the nights of last semester and the whole campus is afraid to go out around the area neighboring the campus at night).
Also, since elections for student council start tomorrow and run until saturday, any last minute advice on campaigning? Can't really lie, suck-up, promise anything; I'm just saying "hey I believe we can do something different, I want a shoot at it, give me a chance".
Thanks for any help.

What will it take to win or place high in this week's Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Southern Open on Lake Norman? Conventional wisdom says it'll involve spawning bass, meaning mostly spotted bass spawning in pockets.
But thankfully, with BassGold.com we don't have to rely on conventional wisdom anymore. Former B.A.S.S. pro Ken Cook and I took a quick look at some of what the BassGold info tells us – literally us, because you might interpret the data differently, which is one of the great things about BassGold.
First, BassGold has a good number of patterns on Norman (more than 50), and thanks largely to a bunch of FLW Tour events that have been fished there, 70 percent of those patterns cover the spring.
When we generated what BassGold calls a "Pattern Report" for spring on Norman, in this case, the data seems to reinforce conventional wisdom. The bar graphs show that for the Open you'll need to be fishing shallow around spawning cover with a combination of slow and moving baits. That's some "gold" right there, but let's drill down a little deeper.
Macro Factors
Ken: "You need to be in shallow water around spawning cover. Not necessarily looking at beds, but in the area where they should be. This works whether the fish are spawning or prespawn, or even postspawn. The good thing is Norman has lots of shoreline."
Interestingly, the Macro Factor graph shows a divergence between what's worked best for wins and for second- to fifth-place finishes: "Main Lake Pockets" and "Shoreline" are about equal across first-fifth places, but "Shoreline" – meaning non-pocket shoreline – is about twice as effective as "Main Lake Pockets" for winners.
Habitat Factors
Ken: "Docks play a big part in available habitat so they are indicated as the most important type, but woody cover is significant too. If anglers find these two components in combination, then all the better.
"Since most docks are wooden structures, they play very well as bass holding cover. Add a brushpile, and you have a perfect bass house.
"You also can't ignore the importance of rock and clay as hard bottom because of the importance of spawning habitat. [B.A.S.S. pro and local Jason Quinn also said clay was key when he finished 2nd at the Norman Elite Series event in March 2005.] So the best habitat combination would be docks with a brushpile over rock/clay bottom."
The "Habitat Factors" bar graph shows that docks are the most important cover/structure in first-fifth finishes, but when you manipulate the graph to show wins only, it shows that "Wood" (brush, stumps, etc.) is equal in importance to docks.
Here's the Habitat Factors graph with second-fifth places removed.
Ken: "Only about 30 percent of success comes from reaction baits. The remainder is spread among various slow baits. The winner will most likely use a combination of moving baits and slow stuff. Crankbaits have been the best producers in the past, but with new stuff like swimbaits and U-rigs, this may change.
"If the shad spawn is going on, swimbaits and spinnerbaits will play a big part. Still, I recommend throwing cranks and looking for a lot of good docks with brushpiles on a hard bottom. After finding good habitat, slow down with jigs and various worm-type baits [like shaky-head worms] to make bites happen."
If you were a BassGold subscriber fishing this tournament and took a few minutes to read through the pattern detail summaries for each tournament, you would see that Fletcher Shryock isn't the only one to hunt up the river for kicker largemouths – and that you might not even need to go upriver to find those kicker largies.
The "Weights By Month" graph shows you need to average 16 to 17 pounds per day to win a tour-level event. Will it be less per day for an Open-level event?
Pattern It
Last but not least, Norman is a great pattern lake. Find something and you can pattern it, regardless of your prior knowledge of the lake. This is a situation where BassGold is even more valuable.
Sean Hoernke, winner of 2008 FLW Tour event at Norman, said: "The thing I really like about Norman is it's a classic pattern lake. The fish here do a lot of the things they're supposed to, so if you can find a pattern, you can run it."
Andy Montgomery, who grew up fishing Norman and finished third at the FLW Tour event there in March 2010, said in that tournament he didn't fish what he knew, he figured out a pattern and fished that.
The above is just one aspect of what BassGold does and can do for you. Right now, you can get $5 off the BassGold registration price when you click here and use code BFB001.

PARIS – In 2000, shortly after the launch of the euro, I wrote a book arguing that countries adopting the common currency should be forced in one way or another to implement structural reforms. Ten years later, where do we stand?
Surprisingly, the first country to reform was Germany. Thanks to an environment favorable to export-oriented firms and, most notably, to wage discipline, Germany began to post significant balance-of-payment surpluses. This is evident today on a dramatic scale, and is sustaining German economic growth, and one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe.
The story is markedly different in other eurozone members. The "PIIGS" (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain) greatly benefited from the euro, thanks not only to the removal of currency-related trade barriers, but also because their interest rates suddenly fell to levels unthinkable in pre-euro times.
Furthermore, because these countries no longer faced current-account constraints, they could spend beyond their means without any immediate apparent damage to their economies. With this artificial boost to their economic growth, they had little incentive to press ahead with unpopular reforms in line with the European Union's Lisbon agenda.

Unfortunately, the votes on House Bill 1523 and House Bill 1668 have been delayed until next month. Please continue to call AND e-mail your state Representative urging him or her to support HB 1523 and HB 1668. These much-needed pro-gun bills would make critical changes to enhance Pennsylvaniaâs firearm laws.

Web Style Guide for western.edu
Building strong university recognition
Our western.edu site is a primary resource for students and others seeking information about Western State Colorado University. We have designed a set of standards and guidelines to ensure Western's web identity is clear, consistent and distinct. All web pages must meet university web standards, in both design and content.
How to use the Web Style Guide
This style guide is for official, university pages. These are pages created by the university, its departments and other administrative offices, whether hosted by a paid, third-party web server or on a university web server. These standards do not apply to personal web pages for individual students, faculty or staff members – although you might find helpful suggestions here for choices you make on your own site(s).
This style guide aims to aid Western State Colorado University web editors and web content managers in presenting consistently high-quality web pages. To ensure a unified experience, official pages of western.edu should appear to be visually related, demonstrate high usability standards and convey the university's brand promise.
The guide should is a supplement to the university's Web Policy (currently under review), which regulates the standards, requirements and policies governing university websites.
Templates, Banners, Page Header Images
All department and program websites must use the official template built in the university's Content Management System (Drupal). The university web manager supports all web templates and banners. They include the institution's visual-identity standards and brand strategies.
- This style guide provides information on how to maintain a look and feel consistent with the university's website.
- Our web templates include page-layout options, the university logo, departmental nameplates, official fonts and color styles, footers, and banner links.
- Web banners span the top of each page in the website and include the logo, nameplate, universal search box and links.
- Website owners and managers should maintain and regularly update the content area below the banner, which must contain the standard navigational elements for all departmental sites.
- Basic page-header images can be added by web content managers and must be 870 pixels by 390 pixels in size. You can upload several page-header images and they will display on the page in a slide show. Single page-header-image uploads will display one, constant image to web visitors.
- Marketing & Media Relations must review and approve any modification of our page templates. We are not currently accepting requests for custom web templates as we move forward to support our new branding efforts. But please address other customized-content requests to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The (DSR) star rating scores in Ebay feedback plays an important part in my success on eBay. I am not a big business and am just selling to make some extra money to pay some bills.
Even though many people consider "4-Stars" to be a good score... eBay considers "4-Stars" to be sub-standard. In fact, anything less than 5-stars actually hurts my business. (ie: higher monthly fees, and lower visibility in eBay search results.) THANKS VERY MUCH

The Stylus SX525WD is rated at 36ppm in both black and colour, though the spec quotes draft speeds. Even so, it's way above what you're likely to see in normal use. Our five-page black text print produced 8.6ppm in normal print mode and 9.7ppm in draft. This is because it takes quite a lot of time to process pages before printing actually starts, a common exclusion in quoted print speeds.
On the longer 20-page test, the speed rose to 12.9ppm. These are all good speeds for an inkjet printer and it's a shame Epson feels it has to exaggerate to put big numbers on the box. If all printer manufacturers started quoting real-world print speeds, customers would have a much better idea of relative performance.
Duplex print is a standard feature and the same 20-page document, printed as a 10-page duplex job, completed in 2mins 48s, a speed of 7.1 sides per minute. This is also a good result, particularly when compared with machines from Canon's PIXMA range, which are notoriously slow when printing double-sided.
Despite what the specs say, printing colour on this machine is a lot slower than printing black, and our five-page black text and colour graphics test produced a speed of just 1.5ppm. A colour copy took a fairly laid-back 53s and 15 x 10 cm photos took between 1min 14s and 2mins 11s, depending on source and quality mode.
The prints themselves are typical of Epson output, with slight fuzziness around bold headings and some jaggies and mis-registrations in what is otherwise passable print. Draft text uses a completely different font set and looks more like old dot-matrix print.
Colours are solid and clean and black text over colour backgrounds is well registered, though greens and blues can come through rather dark. Photo prints show very smooth colours and textures, thanks to the comparatively high resolution of 5,760 by 1,440dpi. Again, though, colours come through a little dark so some shadow detail is lost.
Ink cartridges are available in two capacities and using the high-capacity 'Stag' set gives page costs of 2.6p for black and 6.6p for colour, both including 0.7p for paper. These are very good for a printer in this price bracket and while not at the Kodak level, should mean running costs are at below average.
Epson's Stylus SX525WD is a well-designed inkjet all-in-one for those who don't need multi-page scanning or direct CD/DVD print. It includes duplex print and wireless connection, perhaps the two most popular print innovations of the last couple of years, and prints very quickly for a machine at this price. It's cheap to run and the only question mark is over its plain paper print quality.

I've been reading a lot of the Armed Citizen reports on the NRA website and one thing strikes me, though I knew it beforehand...not many newer reports of women successfully defending themselves today vs. the reports from the 60s, 70s and even a few in the 80s that I've read in my uncles old AR. Women need to learn to defend themselves with a firearm. Pepper spray, tazers and other non lethal forms of self defense are great, I'm not against them in any way, but when you're asleep can you really expect to grab a bottle of mace and spray it in the right direction in the dark?
I propose we make a new holiday and see if we can't make it catch on: Teach Your Daughter To Shoot Day. It would be a great bonding exercise and a kind of health insurance. Not being sexist, but women are the weaker of the two sexes and teaching our daughters to properly handle and use firearms would be great way to even the odds for them. What do you think?
I've already taught my oldest daughter to shoot. When she was about 3 and a half she was able to understand what I said and repeat back to me what I wanted in her own words, so I put a CO2 BB gun into her hands and taught her all about it, resulting in a 2 hour target practice with her where she actually began to get on the paper. Recently, I put my P22 into her hands and UNDER MY DIRECT SUPERVISION taught her how to use it. (Caps lock for the trolls, wink wink) She was on the paper at 7 yards. Since she's female and I am not, we have very little in common interests. It's a great way for us to bond, even if she's just watching me pound holes into an old microwave and helping me pull slugs out of it to examine.
What do you guys think?

With all the hootin' and hollerin' going on at CES about the new Android, Windows Phone 7, and other gadget-y offerings, this piece of news may be a bit under the radar: Microsoft has just announced a new patent agreement with LG, and is now bragging that they are collecting royalty payments from over 70 percent of U.S. Android OEMs.
[ Free download: Patents and the lessons learned from Web 2.0 ]
In the press release today, "Microsoft Corp. and LG Electronics have signed a patent agreement that provides broad coverage under Microsoft's patent portfolio for LG's tablets, mobile phones and other consumer devices running the Android or Chrome OS Platform. The contents of the agreement have not been disclosed."
Contents, I am sure, like how much money has been exchanged, and what exact patents are being infringed. It's a reasonable assumption that not even LG is clear on that last bit of information.
Curiously, there's no corresponding article on Microsoft's legal blog, like there was when Microsoft signed a similar deal with Samsung back in September. And the spin has been altered: in September, the bragging rights were over the fact that Motorola Mobility (MMT) was the last major U.S. smartphone vendor left to sign a cross-licensing patent deal with Redmond. Now, it's that percentage of vendors paying Microsoft to use Android that's the big talking point:
"'We are pleased to have built upon our longstanding relationship with LG to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Together with our ten previous agreements with Android and Chrome OS device manufacturers, including HTC, Samsung and Acer, this agreement with LG means that more than seventy percent of all Android smartphones sold in the U.S. are now receiving coverage under Microsoft's patent portfolio,' said Horacio Gutierrez, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel, Intellectual Property Group at Microsoft."
The press release notes that this is not a brand-new agreement: it is an expansion of a 2007 patent license agreement. At the time, the deal centered around Linux specifically, since Android and ChromeOS were just a gleam in Google's eye back then:
"Through the agreement, LGE will be able to use Microsoft®-patented innovations in its products, including Linux-based embedded devices. Microsoft will have access to LGE's patents and will license other patents developed by LGE that are now owned by business solutions provider MicroConnect Group."
By expanding this to cover Android and ChromeOS, it gives Microsoft the talking point they need to bludgeon other vendors into signing up for their patent licensing program.
Since LG was already in the Microsoft patent club, it's hardly a surprise. Today's announcement, I am sure, is a calculated move to dampen the aforementioned hootin' and hollerin' about Android, and help boost Windows Phone device press coming out of CES.
I would have to think, though, that the gravy train for Microsoft is about to run out, as far as getting new partners their licensing program. As Microsoft itself has pointed out, MMT is the last hold-out. But considering Google is working to buy MMT, there's very little chance those folks will sign anything from Microsoft.
And then there's the ongoing Barnes & Noble lawsuit from Microsoft, where Barnes & Noble is accused of patent infringement within the Android-based Nook eReader. Barnes & Noble, which to the glee of tech reporters never signed a non-disclosure agreement with Microsoft, has been free to say whatever it wants in that lawsuit, and they have made a point to do exactly that as the legal proceedings in that lawsuit continue.
Barnes & Noble's affirmative defense stipulates that Microsoft is misusing its patent licensing program to deliberately forestall its Android competitors. The book retailer has also fired off dozens of pages of prior art examples that seem to blow away the patents Microsoft is using in the lawsuit.
Today's news, while notable, does not change the status quo for Microsoft and Android: Microsoft wants a piece of the exploding mobile space, and it will do anything it can to get it.
