A man accused of groping a girl after a performance at the Festival of Trees in Sandy on Friday had served prison time in Louisiana for killing a girl when he was a teenager, according to court and corrections officials.
Christopher J. Rebstock, now 47, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection to the January 1982 death of Lara Deutsch, a 12-year-old New Orleans girl, according to officials with the Jefferson Parish Courts.
Rebstock who was originally charged with murder was sentenced in 1983 to serve 21 years in prison for the crime.
However, Rebstock served just over 10 years of the sentence and was released on April 19, 1993, according to Pam Laborde, communications director with the Department of Corrections in Louisiana.
According to a 1982 opinion by the Supreme Court of Louisiana, a 16-year-old Rebstock admitted to his father that he killed Deutsch. He also gave a recorded confession to police, but the confession was eventually suppressed because he never signed a waiver of rights when being questioned in January 1982.
Rebstock was the prime suspect in the case when two detectives with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office came to his home on Jan. 11, 1982, according to the court opinion. The detectives had honed in on the teenager because Deutsch a close friend of Rebstock's sister had not returned home after visiting the Rebstock family's home, and an obscene phone call detailing alleged sexual relations with a dead girl was traced back to the Rebstock residence.
Rebstock and his parents were taken to a police station, and when officers informed his parents of the evidence that linked the teen to the murder, Rebstock's father had requested a few moments alone with his son.
"He just told me he killed Lara," the father subsequently told police, according to the court opinion.
Rebstock was arrested that day.
Several years after he was released from prison, Rebstock came to Utah, and, in 1997, he was arrested for battery and disturbing the peace. He pleaded guilty to the charges as part of a plea in abeyance, and the charges were dismissed in 1998.
In 2001, Rebstock pleaded guilty to first-degree felony attempted aggravated sexual abuse of a child in connection with a September 2000 episode involving a 4-year-old boy in Salt Lake City.
He was sentenced to three years to life in prison and placed on Utah's sex offender registry after his release on parole in March 2009.
Rebstock was arrested Friday after a woman saw the man near a group of dancers and their parents at the Festival of Trees. She saw him brush by an 11-year-old girl and grab the girl's buttocks, according to Sandy police Sgt. Jon Arnold. The woman talked to the girl and confirmed what had happened, then reported it to security at the South Towne Exposition Center.
Rebstock tried to run when security guards approached, Arnold said, but was eventually caught and arrested.
Criminal charges were being screened by the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office on Tuesday, according to Arnold.

U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge needs to brush up on her fencing skills.
Fudge, D-Warrensville Heights, who was a fencing champion in high school, lost a duel to Stephen Colbert in an episode of the Colbert Report that aired Tuesday. Fudge, who heads the Congressional Black Caucus, had promised to make Colbert an honorary member if he won.
"I am now a proud member of the Congressional Black Caucus!" Colbert said triumphantly, after beating Fudge 2-1.
The duel followed a segment of Colbert's "Better Know A District" featuring Fudge's 11th district that stretches from Cleveland to Akron. Colbert focused on Cleveland and never touched on Akron during the segment. He did, however, mention the blimp in a song he sang to Fudge attempting to get her to induct him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.To read more or comment...

The Summit County elections board deadlocked this week on whether to use non-partisan voters as poll workers in the next year.
The Democratic board members, who have used non-partisans in the past in areas where they couldn't find partisans to work in elections, wanted to use non-partisans. The Republicans, who think only voters who are affiliated with one of the parties should be used, have avoided employing non-partians.
State law says elections board may not draw more than half of their pollworkers from the same political party.
Secretary of State Jon Husted will break the board's tie vote.To read more or comment...

When Ethel Chambers stood up to speak at Akron City Council meetings, a hush fell over the chambers.
Though Mrs. Chambers was small in stature, she commanded respect from the council members who were aware of her many years of community activism. Often, she didn't say much, unlike other speakers, because she chose her words cafefully. But, what she said mattered.
Mrs. Chambers, 89, died Saturday of kidney failure. The Beacon Journal's Marilyn Miller wrote a feature obituary on Chambers that is in the local section today. Miller describes Mrs. Chambers as feisty and "small but bold" -- an apt description.
My only regret is that I didn't have the chance to do a profile on Mrs. Chambers before she passed. Her name is still on the list of story ideas I have taped to my computer. I'll keep it on the list in her honor.To read more or comment...
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and 49 other senators are urging the delay of the planned closure of several U.S. Postal Service processing centers, including one in Akron.
The senators sent a letter today to the chairmen and ranking members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Subcommittee on Financial Services and Government, asking them to prevent the planned closures of 82 processing centers in 2015. They say Congress needs more time to pass comprehensive reform to fund postal operations.
"Closing Akron's mail processing facility will deprive the community of hundreds of good-paying jobs, making it difficult for families to make ends meet," Brown said in a news release. "Immediate action needs to be taken so workers can keep their jobs and continue providing reliable service for the city."
The closure of the centers would eliminate as many as 15,000 jobs, including 400 in Akron. The Akron center on Wolf Ledges Parkway was spared from the first wave of postal center shut downs in 2012.To read more or comment...

Michael Wager, the Democratic candidate for the 14th Congressional District, is calling on U.S. Rep. Dave Joyce, who currently holds this seat, to up the minimum wage.
Wager, an attorney and adjunct faculty member at Case Western Reserve University, will air his views at noon Tuesday outside of Joyce's office at 10075 Ravenna Road in Twinsburg. He will be joined by local union volunteers and citizens.
Democratic lawmakers have been pushing for the minimum wage to be raised from the current $7.25 an hour to $10.10 per hour. The minimum wage was last increased in 2009.
A few federal officials, including U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Niles, recently lived on minimum wage for a week to highlight the difficulty of living on it. Opponents argue raising the minimum wage would hurt businesses.To read more or comment...

I ran an autopwn on a Windows NT4 sp6a that hasn't been patched in years. To my big surprise not one session was created. How come Metasploit can't exploit such an old architecture? And how can it be done?
Just because you run a unpatched version of windows doesn't mean it's vulnerable.
Going back to balding's post Are you running any insecure software on the windows system?
Have you researched what is vulnerable on that system?
There isn't a whole lot of software that runs on there. It's a PDC and that's about it. I just assumed that after all those years of non patching, cracking an NT would be cake...
In my tests I did knock the box out after a while. Services were hanging and a reboot was needed. So yeah DoS'ing is not a problem. Taking the box is something else...
This is the reason for a real exploit and some some point and click h4x0r button.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Impending hardware failures are always a good excuse, incompatibility with new technology is also a good one.
If the box is still running NT4, then chances are, the harddrive is going to fail, catastrophically, and then you have a chance to get a new pair of machines in, especially if the PDC goes first.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
But of course he doesn't want to hear that because he wants us to spoonfeed him a hack so he can do something illegal.

Fla University System Close to Having New Leader
A search committee is close to recommending a new chancellor for Florida's university system.
The committee is scheduled to meet Tuesday in Orlando, where members will interview four finalists for the job. The panel is made up of seven members of the Florida Board of Governors.
University system officials are looking for a permanent replacement for Frank Brogan. Brogan, who was once Florida's lieutenant governor, left the job at the end of September to take a similar job in Pennsylvania.
The four finalists for the post are: Marshall Criser III, president of AT&T Florida and son of a former University of Florida president; Mark Drummond, former chancellor of the California community college system; Jim Purcell, commissioner of the Louisiana Board of Regents; and Bruce Rafert, provost at North Dakota State University.

The pair came to The Shoppes and the Chino Spectrum, purchasing gift cards and stealing items from stores including Trader Joe's, Victoria's Secret, Banana Republic and Men's Wearhouse.
An employee at a store recognized that a card Fore was using was fraudulent. The employee followed Fore when she left and called the Sheriff's Department.

Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2014
Only a few hours before the Salvatore Ferragamo show, and who is this strolling down Via Montenapoleone, enjoying the sunshine, visibly relaxed, looking like he hasn't got a care in the world? Yep, it would indeed be Massimiliano Giornetti, creative director of Ferragamo, whose show is, oh, about five hours away. Giornetti grinned when he was asked didn't he have a show to go to, i.e., his own. "We have everything finished," Giornetti said, laughing. "We're ready to go." That sense of being in control, of being in charge, is something that Giornetti is obviously feeling comfortable with, given the way he has developed a clear idea of what he thinks the Florentine house of Ferragamo should be, which is essentially this: working quite masculine tropes—the trench, the pantsuit, the parka, et al—then softening them with his particular obsession that season. For fall, it was a slick reworking of nineties minimalism, all glossy navy satin; for spring, he turned his attention to the inner workings, quite literally, of a woman's wardrobe—underwear.
After his show, Giornetti explained where he was coming from. "I was thinking about lingerie, of something that was more intimate," he said, "but I didn't want to lose a sense of realism. It's feminine, but it's not fragile." That last line might as well become his mantra for Ferragamo. To be sure, there were lingerie references aplenty, like the soft pale color palette, which variously touched on ivory, cream, putty, and vanilla, with only a slight foray into the likes of olive green and navy blue, or the slippery silk satin and chiffon that he worked into some very lovely dresses, their sporty, no-nonsense ease suddenly rippling with gently pleated side panels that fluttered as the models walked. Elsewhere, that breeziness rippled through his new skirt shape, akin to a kilt, with pleats and panels falling from a buckled waist, which might be worn with a shrunken sweater or a snakeskin jacket. The reptilian motif slid its way through the rest of what was on show, from an oversize trench coat in green, to Giornetti's latest shoe, a vertiginous bootie whose high-cut sides projected a certain hip sportiness.

It was a dream start to 2013 season for the Lotus Evora GT4 and Brazilian based race team Dragao Motorsport who entered the first race of the season on the streets of Sao Paolo (Anhembi).
Race 1 saw the duo of Valter Pinheiro and young newcomer Renan War come home 3rd in class after some good on-track battles.
After some overnight set-up changes to improve the car for the tricky street circuit conditions, the team made a good start to race 2. They made solid progress through the field and not only took the class win, but also crossed the finishing line in 3rd place overall mixing it with the much faster GT3 machinery.
Valter Pinheiro concluded: "We had very good race pace and the behaviour of the Evora on this type of circuit was perfect. I have much to be thankful for the work done by Dragao Motorsport for giving us a car to challenge for victories''

Homeopathy considers illness as a body reaction to external aggression. It identifies substances, which are flowing with the body's natural energy. The body needs a minimum level of vital energy is essential in order to react. A homeopathic treatment cannot be of any help to a listless body. This capacity to react is absolutely essential in order to reap benefits from homeopathy. considers the patient as a whole, without limiting itself to illness-related symptoms. devises individual treatments according to every patient's personal reactions. Homeopathy takes into account a patient's constitution, heredity and environment, in order to compare and establish relationships between one individual's reactions and those of others who have similar characteristics or symptoms. Tries to restore a patient's disturbed equilibrium through the use of appropriate natural substances. gives primary importance to a patient's own direct information. THREE PRINCIPLESHomeopathy is based on three important principles, which are: 1. Similitude There should be a connection between illness and remedy. 2. Infinitesimality Homeopathy uses vegetable, mineral and chemically processed mixtures of natural substances, in repeatedly diluted strength to administer minute doses. 3.Totality Since Homeopathy considers a person as a whole, every treatment is based on the assumption that every illness is the apparent manifestation of a much deeper-rooted disorder. Other Features Other noticeable points that distinguish Homeopathy from conventional medicine are: - 100% natural - 100% safe To Summarize Homeopathy is a form of natural therapy that treats illnesses with minute, and therefore innocuous doses of certain substances, selected according to the patient's own individuality, reactions and heredity, as well as family and social environments

Greta Van Susteren, Laura Ingraham Call For Denying Voting Rights To Citizens Who Were Previously Undocumented
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the October 23 edition of Courtside Entertainment Group's The Laura Ingraham Show:
Loading the player reg...
INGRAHAM: What's your sense on this 1,200-page Senate bill?
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, let me -- first of all, anything that is more than two pages long, let's just face it, we can't do, because, you know, it's been an abject failure every time we get complex. This is a real simple way to solve this immigration -- at least I think. There are anywhere from 12 to 13 million people in this country illegally. Many of them are good neighbors, hard workers, you know, church-going, whatever you want to call them. Good people.
We have, you know, we have 3 or 4 percent maybe the criminal element that we don't want here -- whatever it is. But the problem is, they did break our law. They came here without permission or they overstayed a visa when we gave them permission. But they're here. So what do we do?
The Democrats, I mean -- they're gonna be here. We have to face that reality.
INGRAHAM: Don't give them voting rights. That's one thing you don't do.
VAN SUSTEREN: Well, that's the whole thing. That's the whole thing is that -- let them be here. Give them an orange card. Their children will be born here and Americans have just as many rights. But those who violate our law, just don't give them voting rights.
And if they want to become citizens, so that they do get voting rights, we do have a path to citizenship because people become citizens all the time. They're gonna have to go home and do it the right way. And that seems fair.
But the interesting thing about it is that what illegal immigrants, if you talk to them, what their biggest concern is is that they don't want the immigration to come in in the middle of the night and rip them out of their beds and separate them from their families or whatever.
INGRAHAM: As if that's happening.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, giving them some sort of residency without vote. But let them be here.

This problem is not present with the current version of
Mathematica (2.2.2). For information about upgrading contact
info at wri.com or call 1-800-441-6284.
Note that by upgrading to the current version of Mathematica
for the Macintosh you will also get a native Power Mac
version which will run much, much faster on your 8100.
In the mean time, in most implementations of SLIP (certainly
InterSLIP and MacSLIP), there is an option which will not
dial the modem if TCP has been initialized. Choosing this
option should prevent Mathematica from dialing your phone.
If you need further help with this I would suggest that you
contact Wolfram Research Technical Support (support at wri.com)
I hope this helps.

NSA Hiring 15-Year-Olds
(NEWSER) – Does Edward Snowden have a little brother? The National Security Agency is starting its spies young with paid internships for people as young as 15, Salonreports. The agency has around young 500 interns on its books, including college students recruited through ads seeking would-be journalists and teens who sign up for the agency's longstanding High School Work Study Program. An NSA spokeswoman says up to 95% of interns who want to stay on with the agency after their internships are able to do so.

As an alternative, if you wanted to keep the bananas in a bunch, you could wrap the stems with aluminum foil. Keep your bread fresh with a celery stick. Make your candles burn longer by placing them in the freezer for 24 hours prior to using.The freezer hardens the wax, which slows the burning process. Put your cereal in the freezer to keep them from going stale. Don't touch your cheese when you are cutting it. The bacteria from your fingers will make it grow moldy faster. Instead, when cutting a block of cheese, keep your hands over the plastic. Keep your laptop unplugged when not in use to ensure the battery lasts as long as possible. Make a bouquet of flowers last longer by adding a cupful of vodka. It'll keep bacteria at bay. Add a pinch of sugar, too, for nourishment. If you don't have vodka, a cupful of bleach will also work. Keep your pantyhose from running by placing your hosiery in the freezer for 24 hours. Freezing actually strengthens the fibers, allowing the material to last more than a couple of wears When washing your jeans, turn them inside out and marinate them in vinegar before washing. This is especially important for dark jeans that you don't want to fade. Fill a sink up with water and add a cup of distilled white vinegar. Allow the jeans to marinate in for about an hour. You can sharpen your razor on a pair of jeans. Run the razor (away from you), along the length of a pair of old jeans, about 10-20 times. Now turn the razor and push the razor toward you another 10-20 times. Also, always remember to dry off your razor completely after using in the shower Mix your nice hand soap with water and dispense from a foam hand wash bottle. Cut your sponges in half. You can also spray them with a little vinegar to keep them fresh. To keep your hair color in longer, use an SPF. Mix one teaspoon of milky SPF 25 sunscreen and ½ cup of water and shake in a spray bottle. Spray into your hair before going out into the sun. Only use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste every time you brush your teeth. It does that same job as a long strip. Keep the colors in your clothes brighter by adding a pinch of salt to your laundry load. Double your butter by whipping it with equal parts water. Store it in an old margarine container. It makes an easy spread that's half the calories. Just don't use it for baking. Photo 1 of 1 Continue Gallery

ONTARIO - A Chino man placed on probation through California's Prison Realignment Plan was behind bars Friday as authorities investigate his roll in a recent shooting that ended in a man's death, Ontario Police officials said.
Hector Perez, 32, of Chino was arrested for violating his probation Wednesday evening hours after a man was shot in the 2000 block of South Campus Avenue, according to Lt. Bill Russell. The shooting victim died at the hospital Thursday night. His name has not yet been released.
"He was arrested to determine his involvement (in the homicide case,)" Russell said. "But he's going to be held no matter what on his probation violation."
Perez violated his probation when he was reportedly found in possession of a controlled substance, records show. Perez was arrested Wednesday evening in the 5200 block of Phillips Boulevard in Chino, booking records indicate.
Perez, who served a state prison term for a non-violent felony in the past, was placed on court-ordered community supervision probation though Assembly Bill 109 when he was set to be released from his most recent stint in prison on a recent drug conviction, San Bernardino County court records indicate.
A three-judge panel ruled that California needed to reduce the prison population by 33,000 inmates by July 2014 due to the extreme overcrowding in the facilities. Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 109 in an effort to meet that goal by placing lower-level offenders under county supervision.
Only inmates and those convicted of triple-non-violent, non-serious, non-sexual - offenses would be considered for local monitoring though a loophole in the bill has reportedly led to violent criminals being placed in local county jails and on local probation supervision.
"They don't look into a person's background," said probation Officer Jerad Linnell during a recent interview. "They only look into their last conviction."
This has led to in one case, a man who had spent time in the secured housing unit of Pelican Bay being placed on community supervision, probation officials said.
But the problem also extends to local jails.
Anyone convicted of a triple-non crime after Oct. 1, 2011, the day AB 109 was implemented, would serve their sentence in county jails instead of state prison. This has led to reports of jail overcrowding throughout the state.
While the state has not been engaging in any early releases on state inmates, San Bernardino County Sheriff's officials said the county has been forced to place county inmates on GPS monitoring, work-release programs and even early release to alleviate the overcrowded conditions.
Ontario officers found the victim lying in the parking lot of a condominium on Campus Avenue on Wednesday suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died one day later, officials said.
The homicide is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Ontario Police detectives at 909-395-2001.

Remembering Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist Hillel Slovak on 25th anniversary of his death
Listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - June 25 marks the 25th anniversary of the death of original Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Hillel Slovak, who lost his battle with heroin addiction just as the band started to show its commercial potential.
The Israeli-born Slovak played on two Chili Peppers albums — 1985's Freaky Styley and 1987's The Uplift Mofo Party Plan — before succumbing to an overdose of heroin in 1988 at the age of 26. He was replaced by the then 18-year-old John Frusciante, a disciple of Slovak's playing. It was with Frusciante that thePeppers recorded their breakthrough album, 1989's Mother's Milk, which became their first gold album.
Here's a look back a five clips that show the impact of Slovak.
Before Slovak and drummer Jack Irons gained notoriety with the Peppers, they were both members of What Is This?, a now forgotten L.A.-based quartet fronted by Alain Johannes; who would go on to some success with his own band, Eleven, and performing and recording with Queens of the Stone Age.
Like the Chili Peppers, What Is This? Was formed straight outta Fairfax High School and could actually be considered the Chili Peppers' sister band, since Red Hot bassist Flea was once a member of its predecessor, Anthym. Here's the interesting thing — Slovak and Irons were members of What Is This? and the Peppers simultaneously, but opted to quit the Peppers since What Is This? secured a contract with MCA prior to the Peppers' signing with EMI.

My Carolina moves again: One step closer to destination
By Brad Muller, My Carolina Alumni Association, firstname.lastname@example.com
My Carolina Alumni Association moved its offices to 1600 Gervais St., next to Havens and across from the Clarion Hotel. This marks the first time in two decades that all 20-plus My Carolina staff members have been located on the same floor of the same building.
"Our Board of Governors is tremendously excited to have a new home for My Carolina that can help us improve our service and outreach to Gamecocks across the globe," said My Carolina President Eddie Brown, '69. "While only temporary, our 1600 Gervais St. facility will provide us the infrastructure necessary to support the development and construction of our future home in the Vista while also helping us improve our customer service and support to Carolina students and alumni."
My Carolina staff members will work at the Gervais Street location until the new My Carolina Alumni Center opens its doors sometime in late 2014.
The center will be located on the site of the former Damon's restaurant in the Vista, across from the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center—with which it is expected to share operations—and adjacent to the Hilton Hotel. The center will provide alumni with opportunities for lifelong learning, lifelong career guidance and placement, and technology that will allow greater connectivity with those at a distance. It is expected to break ground in spring 2013.
The physical and mailing address for My Carolina is 1600 Gervais St., Columbia, SC 29201.

RALEIGH, NC -- Enforcement of the state Supreme Court's negative verdict on sweepstakes videogames began Jan. 3. Some 90% of sweepstakes operators were expected to shut down "voluntarily," spokesman Brad Crone of the Internet Based Sweepstakes Operators told the Winston-Salem Journal.
Not all operators are shutting down, however. In Roanoke Rapids, one movie theater owner said he has modified his sweepstakes videogames in a way that local officials believe complies with the law. Jack Hickey told reporters of a local TV station that his machines have been reprogrammed to reveal outcomes before players spin the reels. | SEE STORY
The aggressiveness of local law enforcement with respect to the new ban varies widely across jurisdictions in the state, according to the Journal.
Two years ago, acting as a spokesman for the Entertainment Group of North Carolina, then the state's major operator association, Crone told Vending Times that most operators would continue to operate sweepstakes games despite a new state law that banned the devices. | SEE STORY

Smile, You're a Liberal After All!News at Home
The story line for the upcoming November elections has been that conservatives are angry, motivated and poised for a major electoral triumph. Fuming, they promise to return America to its traditional values, which they say have been hijacked by liberals and progressives.
But here's the dark secret conservatives don't want you to know: America is a progressive nation. Americans have always embraced progress and liberal change, rather than stasis. Chances are, you are a liberal, too.
Don't believe me? Let's do a quick history lesson and compare the conservative position on issues over the last one hundred years with the liberal position and you can decide for yourself.
Think ten-year-olds should work in coal mines? One hundred years ago conservative business interests and their allied politicians certainly thought so, and they fought efforts to enact child labor laws to protect children from the dangers of coal mines, textile mills and dozens of other hazards. Progressives got those regulations passed and kids don't work in coal mines anymore.
Ninety years ago American women finally got the right to vote. It was a close call, however, because of the fierce opposition of conservatives and traditionalists who thought women ought to be subservient to men. So any of you conservative guys reading this, I want you to go tell your wife or your sister or your mother that they really don't deserve the right to vote. See how that one goes over!
Fifty years ago African Americans were routinely denied the right to vote (and forced to sit in the backs of buses and attend segregated schools, and were refused service in hotels and restaurants) by Southern states ruled by conservatives. That changed only when the liberals in the federal government passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 over the protests of conservatives waving the states' rights banner. Fifty years later, how many of you think states ought to be allowed to strip people of their votes purely on the basis of their race?
How many of you think that when you retire you ought to be left with nothing? In 1935 the United States was the only major industrialized nation without an old-age pension. That year President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act over the howling objections of conservatives in Congress. The next year, the conservative Republican Alf Landon ran for president vowing to repeal Social Security. FDR won one of the biggest landslides in American history, and few remember Alf Landon anymore.
Likewise, as Americans began to live longer many faced their old age with rising medical costs and no health insurance. Then President Lyndon Johnson and his liberal Congress created Medicare, and seniors now have some of the best medical coverage in the country. Raise your hand if you want to take Medicare away from the senior citizens in your life.
As we struggle out of the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, it's worth remembering that conservatives have always opposed attempts to regulate our financial system. In the 1930s they fought the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and they stood unanimously against the recent bank regulation bill. But who among us really believes that the Great Recession was caused by too much oversight of the banking, insurance and mortgage industries?
So it has gone across the last hundred years. If we had followed the conservative path during those years, we'd still be a nation with legalized racial segregation and gender inequality, our senior citizens would be poor and sick, banks would be free to do whatever they wanted to us, and kids would still be mining coal. Conservatives have gotten it wrong over and over again.
The funny thing, of course, is that conservatives know this about themselves. They have been against everything I've just described. Until they supported it. When Tea Party darling Rand Paul suggested repealing the Civil Rights Act, conservative Republicans in the Senate smacked that idea down; when President Obama proposed reining in some Medicare costs, conservative Republicans positioned themselves as the great defenders of the program.
Over the last century conservatives have consistently been on the wrong side of history, and Americans have demonstrated that they don't want to live in a conservative nation. So smile: You're really a liberal after all. And in November why not go and vote that way too.

George Norris, Bob LaFollette, Fiorello LaGuardia? All Progressives. Perhaps you're thinking of people like Burton Wheeler or Hiram Johnson who opposed an internationalist foreign policy.
The Progressive Movement was not monolithic.
William J. Stepp - 9/27/2010
To the extent that life is better today than it was in 1930, it's not because of the criminal entity known as the State, but because of the development of markets, capital accumulation, and innovation.
All this has happened despite the cekatS, not because of it.
Paul Siff - 9/27/2010
Progressivism died during or shortly after the first WOrld War. The surviving progressives tended to oppose the New Deal. The resurrection of Progressivism for ideological purposes is an artifact of Glenn Beck's febrile imagination.
Edmond Dantes - 9/27/2010
Fine, chastise them for it now if you prefer, but remember your history, progressives pushed imperialism early in the twentieth century. Conservatives opposed foreign adventures. I just wanted to point out some flaws in the author's premise.
Edmond Dantes - 9/27/2010
Did Mr. Beatty say that America in 1930 was better than life today? Without being too presumptuous, I think he is inquiring on progressivism's final destination. What is the ultimate goal?
Paul Siff - 9/27/2010
Part of the problem in assessing Americans' mindset is the disjunction between the way many think in the abstract and how they respond to concrete situations. Thgus, Tea Partiers rail against government and government spending, yet seniors among them want to keep their entitlements: witness that irate oldster down South who thundered in a 2009 town meeting, "Keep your government hands off my Medicare!" Similarly, a young woman Tea Party activist, inverviewed by the New York Times, saw no incompatibility between her advocacy of replacing Medicare and Medicaid with "charity" and the fact that she attended a public university and thus received a highly subsidized education. In other instances the phenomenon works in reverse: when asked a survey question pertaining to free speech in the abstract, Americans will staunchly support it; when it comes to a concrete example that tests such support: "Let a communist (or today, an Islamicist)speak in public?" the response is apt to be very different.
Paul Siff - 9/27/2010
Do you seriously think life in the U.S. circa 1930 is preferable to life today? Now, that's a laugh.
Paul Siff - 9/27/2010
No - we should chastize them for embracing it now.
Edmond Dantes - 9/27/2010
I nearly forgot about imperialism and its progressive roots in America. Was it not the progressive mindset that propelled America towards imperialist endeavors in the early twentieth-century? How did that work out in Cuba, the Philippines, and other island nations? Should we chastise conservatives for opposing that foreign policy?
Edmond Dantes - 9/27/2010
...conservatives have consistently been on the wrong side of history."
The author left out many key issues, such as social Darwinism, eugenics, prohibition, and socialism. Should we scold conservatives for combating these as well? Progressivism, like any other movement, needs to be checked once in a while.
John D. Beatty - 9/27/2010

When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now, what will they say was the most crucial development in the first few years of the twenty-first century? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war? Or the convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, creating an explosion of wealth in the middle classes of the world's two biggest nations? And with this "flattening" of the globe, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner?
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"One mark of a great book is that it makes you see things in a new way, and Mr. Friedman certainly succeeds in that goal," the Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz wrote in The New York Times, reviewing The World Is Flat in 2005. For this updated and expanded edition, Friedman has seen his own book in a new way, bringing fresh stories and insights to help us understand the flattening of the world. New material includes:
· The reasons why the flattening of the world "will be seen in time as one of those fundamental shifts or inflection points, like Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, the rise of the nation-state, or the Industrial Revolution"
· An explanation of "uploading" as one of the ten forces that are flattening the world, as blogging, open-source software, pooled knowledge projects like Wikipedia, and podcasting enable individuals to bring their experiences and opinions to the whole world
· A mapping of the New Middle—the places and spaces in the flat world where
middle-class jobs will be found—and portraits of the character types who will find success as New Middlers
·An account of the qualities American parents and teachers need to cultivate in young people so that they will be able to thrive in the flat world
·A call for a government-led "geo-green" strategy to preserve the environment and natural resources
·An account of the "globalization of the local": how the flattening of the world is actually strengthening local and regional identities rather than homogenizing the world

Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseaseProgressive neuropathic (peroneal) muscular atrophy; Hereditary peroneal nerve dysfunction; Neuropathy - peroneal (hereditary); Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of disorders passed down through families that affect the nerves outside the brain and spine. These are called the peripheral nerves.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth is one of the most common nerve-related disorders passed down through families (inherited). Problems in at least 40 genes cause different forms of this disease.
The disease leads to damage or destruction to the covering (myelin sheath) around nerve fibers.
Nerves that stimulate movement (called the motor nerves) are most severely affected. The nerves in the legs are affected first and most severely.
Symptoms usually begin between mid-childhood and early adulthood. They may include:
- Foot deformity (very high arch to feet)
- Foot drop (inability to hold foot horizontal)
- Loss of lower leg muscle, which leads to skinny calves
- Numbness in the foot or leg
- "Slapping" gait (feet hit the floor hard when walking)
- Weakness of the hips, legs, or feet
Later, similar symptoms may appear in the arms and hands, which may include a claw-like hand.
Exams and Tests
A physical exam may show:
- Difficulty lifting up the foot and making toe-out movements
- Lack of stretch reflexes in the legs
- Loss of muscle control and atrophy (shrinking of the muscles) in the foot or leg
- Thickened nerve bundles under the skin of the legs
A muscle biopsy or nerve biopsy may confirm the diagnosis. Nerve conduction tests are often done to tell the difference between different forms of the disorder.
Genetic testing is available for most forms of the disease.
There is no known cure. Orthopedic surgery or equipment (such as braces or orthopedic shoes) may make it easier to walk.
Physical and occupational therapy may help maintain muscle strength and improve independent functioning.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease slowly gets worse. Some parts of the body may become numb, and pain can range from mild to severe. Eventually the disease may cause disability.
Possible Complications
- Progressive inability to walk
- Progressive weakness
- Injury to areas of the body that have decreased sensation
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if there is persistent weakness or decreased sensation in the feet or legs.
Genetic counseling and testing is advised if there is a strong family history of the disorder.

Looks, accessories, features – the Aurora pretty much has it all... except for the price
Alienware's Geiger-esque looks aren't everybody's cup of tea, but it's hard to deny the design aesthetic marks them out and makes them desirable. When you order an Alienware system online, your design customisation options outweigh those of the components tweaking. You can alter the style of the alien head on the chassis and even the wallpaper on the desktop - all, it must be said, free of charge.The curved black chassis features side panels that glow in your choice of colour and can produce flashing or pulsing effects, as you desire. Our last run-in with an Alienware system was underwhelming, thanks to its absurdly high price. The Aurora has a similarly eye-watering cost. Even so, we're glad to see the back of two of the more expensive and pointless differences between the Aurora and the ALX - the motorised fins which did nothing for the cooling of the system.The chassis features an easy lock/unlock side panel that has to be among the simplest panel removal mechanism we've seen. The case is surprisingly large for a micro-ATX form - a lot of that is the length, and components are kept separated into separate compartments to improve cooling and airflow. The newly updated Aurora carries in it a brand-spanking new Core i7 950 processor, though, which is an addition we're much more happy about. We'd have liked to see some additional features, such as USB 3.0 and SATA3 on the motherboard, but it's understandable that Alienware has opted to do without them for the time being.Many of our complaints about the composition of the ALX chassis also apply to the Aurora, such as the relative inaccessibility of the graphics card behind its shield, and the cooling vents within the system just don't do enough to exhaust the graphics card and processor's heat. The processor in the Aurora has a tiny heatsink and even tinier fan to cool it - with the case fully closed, things got hot very quickly. In addition, the Aurura is noisy - with the case off, there's a noticeable hum, and the volume increases once you reattach the side panel. For a machine that looks this good, it's immensely disappointing. But where we had problems with the lack of performance grunt in the ALX, the updated specifications of the Aurora deliver no such disappointments. The stock 3.07GHz i7 950 sped through our benchmarks with an overall performance score of 2.36. That's higher than expected for a stock processor, and the 300GB 10,000 RPM WD Velociraptor hard drive and 12GB of triple channel 1333MHz RAM may have something to do with it.Many of our complimentary words about the ALX also apply to the Aurora. The monitor, for example, is an excellent Alienware 2310 - a 120Hz full HD 23in screen that stands up against some of the best we've seen.Bright and accurate colours, as well as sharp detail make this a standout, and while it's not an IPS panel, it's definitely worth a look, so to speak. All the accessories, in fact, are excellent.Like the ALX, the Aurora breezed through our Crysis test. Its 5970 card may not have reached the highest frame rates on low as in the ALX, but at Very High settings it performed better, producing a phenomenal 60fps at 1600 x 1200 on our Very High test.There's scope to overclock the system, although we'd be concerned about issues of overheating - it may be worth investing in some additional cooling tech - but for style and substance, the Aurora ticks all the boxes. It's a shame then, about the astronomical price, and about the noise.

The majority of nitrogen (N) fertilizer sold in Iowa is either anhydrous ammonia, or products made from anhydrous ammonia (urea, ammonium nitrate, and urea-ammonium nitrate solutions) (Table 1). Ammonia is also a manufacturing component of other fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, diammonium phosphate (DAP), and monammonium phosphate (MAP). Natural gas is a major feedstock in ammonia production--the hydrogen (H) in ammonia (NH3) comes from natural gas. It is not easy to combine N (N2 gas from the atmosphere) and H to make ammonia, so considerable energy (mostly natural gas) also is consumed. The average natural gas consumption for anhydrous ammonia production is approximately 33.5 million British thermal units (MMBtu) per ton. Therefore, the ammonia production cost is closely tied to the price of natural gas.
In 1999, the average price of natural gas was $2.19 per MMBtu, close to the past average natural gas price for the last 15 years (divide the cost per MMBtu by 10 to get the cost per therm of natural gas). It rose to a $4.40 average in 2000. At a price of $2.19 per MMBtu, the cost of producing ammonia is about $100 per ton. Recently, the spot price of natural gas spiked to $10.00 per MMBtu, which would translate to an ammonia production cost of approximately $360 per ton. At that cost natural gas accounts for more than 90 percent of the total ammonia production cost. Additional energy also is needed for manufacturing, storage, and transportation, which increases cost further and adds to the retail price.
Natural gas prices have increased recently for several reasons, including increased demand for generating electricity and slowed development of new gas supplies. Low inventories and the cold early winter high demand for home heating quickly brought depleted supplies. Hence the high price spike. If natural gas demand remains strong, and supply tight, then N fertilizer prices may remain high for some time.
Along with the cost concern is the potential for shortage of N fertilizers. Because of the high natural gas costs, ammonia production is idled at some plants and others are running at less than capacity. This could translate into some product shortfalls. Industry estimates vary, but the potential exists for 10 to 15 percent less N available for sale than normal this spring. The next few weeks will be critical for resumed ammonia production and lessening of the current supply situation. Increases in imported N fertilizers (mostly urea but also anhydrous ammonia) will help ease decreased U.S. production. Nitrogen production in other countries continues because natural gas costs are not as high as in the United States.
With the current supply-cost scenario it will be important for farmers to work closely with dealers and have N use plans (and contingency plans) in place. Don't get a surprise come spring. It will also be important for farmers and dealers to be flexible and work together to get all the various N fertilizer products applied, and applied in the best manner.
Appreciation is extended to The Fertilizer Institute [1] for information on natural gas pricing and ammonia production cost figures.

Driver in critical condition after head-on crash
December 27, 2013
A Nevada City man remains in critical condition after he crashed his SUV head-on into a concrete abutment near Broad Street Thursday morning.
David William Connell, 52, was driving a 2003 Ford Expedition eastbound on Highway 20/49 through Nevada City at approximately 5:05 a.m. with Carol Connell, also 52, in the front passenger seat, said California Highway Patrol spokesman Greg Tassone.
David Connell, who was not wearing a seatbelt, drifted completely out of his lane during the sweeping curve before the Broad Street off-ramp, Tassone said.
He then collided head-on into the concrete abutment separating the off-ramp from the main portion of the freeway, collapsing the metal collision-attenuator installed there.
Tassone said the attenuator is an accordion-type metal structure that replaced the sand-and-water barrels that formerly were used to slow vehicles during collisions; he noted that Connell plowed through 30 feet of attenuator before impacting the concrete barrier.
Connell was ejected partially through the windshield, sustaining major head trauma, Tassone said. He was flown via helicopter air ambulance to Sutter Roseville Medical Center, where he was reported to be in critical condition.
Carol Connell — who was wearing her seatbelt — sustained possible broken limbs and was transported via ground ambulance to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital with moderate injuries.
After a preliminary investigation, David Connell was suspected of being under the influence of medications and/or dangerous drugs at the time of the collision.
He was subsequently arrested for felony DUI but was released to the hospital due to his serious medical condition.
He appeared to be substantially impaired, Tassone said, adding that investigators were looking into any pre-existing medical condition. Tassone said that Connell had been driving on an expired license.
Along with CHP ground units, the agencies responding to this incident were the Nevada City Fire Department, Nevada County Consolidated Fire Protection District, Nevada City and Grass Valley police departments, Nevada County Sheriff's Office, Sierra Nevada Ambulance and the CalStar helicopter.
Tassone pointed to the fact that Connell was not wearing a seatbelt as being the primary factor in the severity of his injuries.
"We've seen such an increase in fatal collisions, with a huge percentage not wearing seatbelts," he said of the statewide numbers.

Midwifery student looking for Brisbane mothers to be!
My name is Nikki and I am current undertaking my second year of a Nursing and Midwifery dual degree at the University of Queensland, St Lucia.
It is part of our degree that we are required to follow through the pregnancies of twenty mothers. This allows us to experience the journey through pregnancy firsthand and provide support, friendship and our expanding knowledge to the mothers that we follow. This process is known as 'Continuity of Care' and it is an exceptional way for us to expand our knowledge and experience in order to ensure we become the best of our ability.
My role throughout your pregnancy would simply be to attend your antenatal appointments, be present at the birth of your child, as well as visit you postnatally. However, my role would not be limited to these visits, as I would be more than happy to catchup at any stage during or after your pregnancy.
I understand that pregnancy is an incredibly important time in a persons life and it would be an honour to be given the opportunity to share this experience and provide care and support to mothers to be.
If any of this interests you, please contact me viareply to this message and i will get in contact with you.
I would like to thankyou for giving me the opportunity to be a part of such a magical journey.
Kind Regards,

The great debate: Feminism vs. Humanism
A friend recently shared an article and asked me to blog about it. Here we go!
The article, titled, "10 Celebrities Who Say They Aren't Feminists," shared pictures and quotes of celebrities like Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Susan Sarandon who have all given statements about their choice not to identify as feminist. Susan Sarandon, an actress I really enjoy watching, was quoted:
"I think of myself as a humanist because I think it's less alienating to people who think of feminism as being a load of strident b--ches and because you want everyone to have equal pay, equal rights, education, and health care. It's a bit of an old-fashioned word. It's used more in a way to minimize you."
In reading through these quotes from powerful women, I hearkened back to a soul-searching conversation with a group of philosophy students I moved through college with. One asked me why I identified as feminist rather than humanist. My explanation then and now is that feminism is the lens through which I came to understand oppression and privilege.
Sarandon's quote, in my humble opinion, tells me that she distances from feminism because of what other people think about it. Just because other people have misconceptions or stereotypes about an identity doesn't make the platform or experience any less true. Our society is wrought with misperceptions about people who are raped. We don't just stop talking about it, we educate. We strive to change the culture.
Part of feminism is embracing lived experience and respecting other women's decisions to live their own experiences. My experience teaches me that this world needs feminism, feminists, and great discourse about identities. It is not until we have dismantled the systematic oppression of one particular gender/identity that we're ready to coast into the platform that everybody should be treated equal. We're not at an equal starting point folks.

Continuum, 2002 - Religion - 200 pages
This series offers a range of authoritative studies on people who have made an outstanding contribution to Christian thought and understanding. The series will range across the full spectrum of Christian thought to include Catholic and Protestant thinkers and to cover East and West, historical and contemporary figures. By and large, each volume will focus on a single "thinker", but occasionally the subject may be a movement or a school of thought.
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) is widely recognized as one of the greatest of all Christian thinkers, referred to by Pope Pius V as "the most brilliant light of the Church". This book is a clear and engaging introduction to Aquinas.
Series editor Brian Davies reviews Aquinas's life from the point at which he joined the Dominicans through his tutelage under Albert the Great in Cologne to his death in the Cistercian Abbey of Fossanova. Through exploration of the key questions posed by Aquinas in his voluminous writings, such as "What is God like?" and "What should people do?", Davies surveys this thinker's major themes.
