its like shit just got real with shit getting real or something
there is shit getting real then there is this
its like shit just got real with shit getting real or something
Man better check himself before he wrecks himself
He wants to lie about getting his ads whooped that's fine
But don't start making up evidence that questions my teams integrity.
One more bullshit post on here n I'll see you exposed. So give up now
I too have heard a lot more on this than has been posted in this thread, but as it's all hearsay I'm not going to repeat any of it.
As far as I'm concerned, the only relevant outstanding question is whether or not Katov was weighed. Either answer makes the promoter look bad. If he was, and he was over, then the promoter has lied to the fighter. If he wasn't weighed, and the promoter told the fighter he was, then again he's lied to the fighter. If he wasn't weighed and there was no issue, then there are no grounds for the no contest and the promoter should never have contacted Sherdog to have the result changed.
This whole situation looks bad for all involved as it stands. I can't see anyone wanting to further incriminate themselves by posting in this thread anymore.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
If you have information that may alter the outcome of this you should declare it, not threaten that you will if they continue.
Someone needs to send this link to Sherdog and point out the result needs amending back to the original result as it stands as this is ridiculous.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
I'm pretty sure that happened however there is a response in this thread that said as there is no MMA body, they have to go with the promoter.
Not my place to start throwing evidence about. UCC can do this if they so wish.
However I know Lloyd has fabricated a lot if evidence that could reflect badly on my officials so this is a warning to stop it before it goes any further. Any man who creates the amount of false paper trail he has done suggests he has lots to hide
I can confirm nO fighter was weighed after the bout however
All sorted now. Just want to thank everyone for your support, who's being involved in this nasty case. Thanks for not letting Lloyd go away with this.
You just cant beat the person who wont give up...
Power To The People!!!! Result has been changed back!!!

Dear all,
background information:I did code a timesheet management system for my company with PHP where the user has to submit time entries and has an online form with several start and end times. The start and end times are all simple HTML select option dropdowns. I want that the first End time selection will be the next start time selection. Basically a simple dependency of the dropdown. My approach was that I want to solve this with JavaScript. In my php code I am echoing the following and call the set_time_hour java script function in order to change then the next drop down (this.value should be the value of the next dropdown.
echo "<select class='normal' name='$field_id' onChange=set_time_hour(this.value,'$field_id_js')>";
When the user changes then the end time dropdown the next field (next start time entry) should be changed accordingly.
The javascript looks like this
function set_time_hour(hour_value,next_field){alert (hour_value);alert (next_field);document.getElementById(next_field).value = hour_value;}
The alert calls are giving me the right values. but the
document.getElementById(next_field).value = hour_value;
is not working. What is wrong there? Do you have an idea?
How can I change the value of a select box with Javascript?
The select box values are already popoluated with PHP so I just want to select the right value.
If you pass just the this keyword to the set_time_hour function (instead of this.value),you can then get the selectedIndex property and set the other select box to have the same selected index.
Hey Paul, thank you very much for your quick reply. This is not what I mean. The right value is submittted to the set_time_hour function. The problem is that
is not changing the next field. I attached a screenshot to this document to show which field what I want to change. The fielt on top is the one that is providing the info to call set_time_hour function e.g. '12' which is the value that the next field should have and 2_start_time_id which is the name of the next select field (the one that is also marked in the attachment).
I think the javascript document.getElementById(next_field).value = hour_value; is wrong.
all the best and many thanks for your help.
You cannot use a value to set the selected option of a dropdown box. It is the selectedIndex property that you need to set instead.
That can be done in a number of different ways.
The preferred technique is to pass a reference to the current select field to the function, so that from the function you can then get the value with select.value or the selectedIndex with select.selectedIndexThat way you can set the selectedIndex property of the next field based on the selectedIndex of the current select field.
ok. Understand.
I am using now the following to call
in the script I am trying
function set_time_hour(field,nextfield){ document.timesheetoffice.nextfield.selectedIndex = field;}
it is unfortunately still not working. Even when I try to change the index like
document.timesheetoffice.nextfield.selectedIndex = 3;
it is not working...
when I alert
alert(field); alert (nextfield);
I am getting
[object HTMLSelectElement] 2start_time_id_hour
so... I do not get further. I got from the net a simple example like this which is working:
<title>Test</title><form name="Testform" action=""><select name="Auswahl" size="5" onchange="CheckAuswahl()"><option>Goethe</option><option>Schiller</option><option>Guildo Horn</option><option>Homer</option><option>Fontane</option></select></form>
I mus miss out something here... Thank you so much for your help
There are a couple of reasons why that could be the case.The selected index needs to be accessed on both sides of the assignment. and the nextfield variable seems like it is the string value of an identifier.
Try something like this instead:
document.getElementById(nextfield).selectedIndex = field.selectedIndex;
thanks again for this great help. I think we are getting closer.
I tried now
document.getElementById(nextfield).selectedIndex = field.selectedIndex;
There is a an javascript error message saying:
document.getElementById(...) is null or not an object'
and (also tried to call the getElementById with the actual name of the select
document.getElementById('2start_time_id_hour').selectedIndex = field.selectedIndex;
which is unfortunately also giving me the same error... Might it be that java script has a problem with the underscores in 2start_time_id_hour ?
The underscores aren't a problem, but identifiers aren't allowed to start with a number.
Perhaps if you put up a simplified version of what you're doing, say at www.jsfiddle.net, that would allow us to help you further.
Hey. on
I did setup the code. I hope I have set it up right. this jsfiddle I used here the first time.
Basically I just want that when in the first dropdown "two" is is selected the second one should be also "two".
The problem here is that you're trying to access the second select box in an incorrect manner.
Are they both inside of the same form? If they are, you can use this:
field.form.elements[nextfield].selectedIndex = field.selectedIndex;
If you don't have the benefit of them being in the same form, you would need to add a unique identifier on to the second select and use this instead:
However, having them be in the same form means you don't need to go to the extra complications of setting up additional identifiers.
Oh yes, and with jsfiddle, set it to no wrap (body) and no-library (pure JS)
hey. i updated the jsfiddle and tried to consider your comments to make it on this micro level work before I update my code locally...
It is in the same form so
field.form1.elements[nextfield].selectedIndex = initialfield.selectedIndex;
should work... But again its not working... do you know any further?
You have a name on the form tag. That is superfluous and will not be of any use to you.
<form[s] name="form1"[/s]>
Your inline onchange event needs double quotes around it.
<select name='field1' onChange="set_time_hour(this,'field2')">
You've renamed the function property from field to initialfield, so you need to make that change to the same variable at the start of the statement too.Also where you have "form1", that is not a reference to a named field. What that actually is, is a reference to the "form" property that naturally exists on all form fields, which references the form that the field is in.
initialfield.form[s]1[/s].elements[nextfield].selectedIndex = ...
thank you so much for your help and all your efforts! It is now working! Without your help I wouldnt have made it and I also would have understood it! For some reasons this has been trickier than the last problems I encountered. Anyhow! Thanks!

Miguel says he never expected Grammy nods
Listen to Miguel on iHeartRadio
Miguel says he never expected to land two nominations for the upcoming Grammy Awards. Following Friday's Grammy Nominations Concert, Miguel told reporters that the news hadn't quite hit him yet.
Miguel's Kendrick Lamar-assisted hit "How Many Drinks?" picked up a nod for Best R&B Performance, where he will face competition from songs by Tamar Braxton, Anthony Hamilton, Hiatus Kaiyote featuring Q-Tip, and Snarky Puppy with Lalah Hathaway.
Meantime, his work on J. Cole's single "Power Trip" also earned him a nod for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar and Wiz Khalifa were also nominated in that category. On January 26th, the 56th Grammy Awards will air live on CBS from Los Angeles' Staples Center.
Apart from being on the list of nominees, the singer also took the stage at Friday's Grammy Nominations Concert. He and country star Keith Urban covered the Bill Withers' classic "Ain't No Sunshine." Afterward, Miguel praised country music for being a genre that has retained excellent songwriting. He added that landing a song of his own on country radio would be a "huge testament" to his songwriting abilities.

Yowza! 9 Sexy and Hilarious Movie Male Strip Teases for 'Magic Mike' (NSFW!)
In honor of 'Magic Mike,' we've rounded up nine sexy and hilarious male strip tease scenes from the movies and TV. Get ready to get it on!
-Lucia Peters
We've been getting glimpses of Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, and the rest of the cast of Magic Mike baring it all for ages—and hey, guess what? The movie is finally here! The male stripper flick finally comes out on Friday, and we do have to say, it took its sweet time getting here. To celebrate the occasion, we've rounded up nine male strip tease scenes from the movies and TV. Some of them are sexy; some of them are hilarious; and some, miraculously, manage to be both at once. Ready to get the proverbial "it" on?
WARNING: In case you haven't already figured it out, this post is EXTREMELY NSFW. Proceed with caution—or just save it all to watch when you get home from the office!
1. The Full Monty
Boy, did this 1997 British flick ever take the world by surprise! Faced with the closing of Sheffield's once-successful steel mills, former steel workers Gary "Gaz" Schofield (Robert Carlyle) and Dave Horsefall (Mark Addy) find themselves in dire straits. Their solution? A Chippendales-style group featuring Sheffield's local blokes. Little did they know that their odd-ball group would end up being a hit—especially with their wives!

2. The Chippendales Murder
Four years before he would become one of the stars of a little show created by J. J. Abrams called Lost, Naveen Andrews starred in the TV movie The Chippendales Murder. A (somewhat sensationalized, of course) true story, the movie chronicled the story of Steve Banjerlee (Naveen) and choreographer Nick De Noia (Paul Hipp) as they created what would become the Chippendales. Oh, and there's a murder, of course. Ah! Intrigue!
3. Castle
The third season Castle episode "Almost Famous" found Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) searching for the murderer of a popular male stripper named Derek Brookner. Naturally, their investigation took them into the club where Derek worked, and, well… you can see what happened.

Apple Shuffles Revenue Out of U.S., Pays Only 1.9% in Taxes on Foreign Earnings
Jason Mick
November 5, 2012 11:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple does not count foreign tax savings in its reported profits
Whether you're voting for Romney or Obama tomorrow, neither candidate comes close to offering a tax rate sweet enough to
sate the appetite
of Apple, Inc. (
), the world's most profitable technology company, and
most valuable firm
in terms of present market capitalization.
In 2011, Apple
made a fortune on foreign earnings
, paying a lowly 2.5 percent on the $25B USD it earned outside the U.S. Financial documents
filed last week
indicate that the company's fiscal year, which concluded in September, saw an even bigger revenue boom outside the U.S.
Apple in calendar Q4 2011-Q3 2012 paid a
mere 1.9 percent
in foreign taxes, while ballooning foreign earnings to $36.8B USD. That's a pretty hefty sum considering Apple's full-year reported earnings were $41.7B USD on revenue of $156.5B USD.
Here's where things get a little confusing. The $41.7B USD is a post-tax figure that assumes Apple's effective U.S. tax rate extends to its foreign earnings. Apple is currently hoarding that cash overseas -- an estimated $82.6B USD, but it breaks from some in not reporting all of it as earnings.
It also has avoided spending the massive profits, gained by using tax shelters like the Cayman Islands, Ireland, and small European tax-haven nation states. It is estimated that Apple's decision not to include the tax-sheltered earnings in its bottom line cost it an extra $10.5B USD of profits (on paper, at least) over the last three years).
Apple paid less than 2 percent in taxes on its overseas earnings.
[Image Source: SomanyMP3s]
Apple's decision to not report the gains as profits is interesting, and perhaps a reflection that Apple believes that the U.S. government will eventually force technology companies to "pay up" amid growing scrutiny of corporate tax sheltering practices.
Apple, which almost exclusively manufacturers its products in China, is not alone in its smart-sourcing of profits to tax shelters and manufacturing to cheap Asian labor sources. Google Inc. (
), Apple's perennial smartphone foe has engaged in similar practices, although not to such a massive extent.
The on-paper general corporate tax rate in the U.S. is 35-percent, however, that figure is misleading as the complex U.S. tax code typically leaves a wealth of loopholes available for big businesses to lower their rates. With loopholes considered, the average for Fortune500 tech companies is around 16 percent [
Apple does indirectly contribute a great deal to the U.S. economy, directly and indirectly
creating 304,000 U.S. jobs
, plus an additional 210,000 U.S. iOS developer jobs.

Technical Assitance Application Submission
The Little Village Environmental Justice Organization has submitted an application to the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company for services through a Technical Assistance Plan administered by Peoples and supervised by USEPA for the remedial investigation and feasibility study currently underway at the Crawford Station site in Chicago, IL (just west of 35th Place and 36th Street). TAPs provide up to $50,000 in services to community groups to hire a technical adviser to interpret site-related information. Other interested groups should contact LVEJO and try to form a coalition for a joint application, or else they may submit their own separate letter of interest before August 27, 2015. Visit the Technical Assistance Plan webpage for more information.
Type of site
Peoples Energy approached EPA in 2007 to address 13 former manufactured gas plants in Illinois under EPA's Superfund Alternative Sites program. The SAS Program takes sites that might otherwise be eligible for the National Priorities List but which will be investigated and cleaned up by a cooperative responsible party, without formally listing the site on the NPL. The Crawford Station site is one of those 13 sites.
- Former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites
- Superfund Alternative Approach
- Fact Sheet: Understanding the Superfund Alternative Approach
- 3500 South Pulaski Rd. in Chicago, Ill.
- The site is bounded on the south by the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, on the north by the Chicago and Illinois Western Railroad, on the west by the Chicago and Western Indiana Belt Line Railroad, and to the east by Pulaski Rd. (formerly Crawford Ave.).
- The site is currently divided into 21 parcels with various owners.
In 1921, the Koppers Company of Pittsburgh and Peoples Gas entered into an agreement: Koppers built, financed and operated a by-product coke plant at the Crawford Station. Peoples Gas bought the gas and coke manufactured by the Koppers Company for distribution to its consumers. In 1928, Peoples Gas acquired the facility.
The site was Peoples' largest facility in the early years of the 20th century. Production was halted temporarily between 1958 and 1962 and permanently after 1963. The station was retired in 1965. Peoples Gas sold 146 acres of the property to First American Realty Company in 1966.
Contamination at the site includes:
- volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
- metals
- cyanide
Impact to soil on the site is described as tar.

Site Updates
April 2015
Removal of contaminated soil and debris continues as of April 2015. Over 1.2 million tons of contaminated material have been excavated and disposed off-site as part of the time-critical removal action. This removal action is expected to continue to at least the end of 2015. Concurrent with the removal action, a remedial investigation is ongoing to determine the extent and magnitude of remaining contamination at the site. A draft remedial investigation (RI) report is expected by 2017 or 2018.
March 2014
Removal of contaminated soil/debris at certain parcels of the site continues and is expected to last until the end of the year. Over 800,000 tons of contaminated material have been excavated and disposed of off-site as of March 2014. Concurrent with the removal action, the responsible party (Integrys) is in the initial stage of conducting remedial investigation (RI) field work at the site. Because of the size of the Crawford site, the field work is being divided into three phases, with the last phase scheduled for completion by 2017. A draft RI report is expected by late 2017 or 2018.
February 2013
A significant portion of site contaminants has been removed as of January 2013—approximately 350,000 tons, but more contaminant removal work is planned. Specifically, cleanup work on another section of the site, Parcel L, has started as of the beginning of 2013 and will continue through the summer of 2014.
March 2012
Contractors for Peoples Gas are now cleaning up part of the Crawford Station site as the result of a legal agreement with EPA called an AOC (available below under Legal Documents). The cleanup is being conducted under EPA's removal program at several parcels comprising approximately 13.7 acres of of the Crawford Station site. It is estimated that as much as 150,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil and other material will be removed when the project is completed.

Big win for Eugene at the weekend and you can read about that here, but I also spoke to him after the fight to get his take on it, and where he now stands on the domestic scene.
Nice guy, hard-working and obviously talented. Excited to see what's next. Fields, Phillips, Zikic, Marshman etc. would be cool."I think hes a good fighter and so am I, and that showed because it was back and forth until one of us eventually finished. I knew it had to be finished neither of us would let it go to the judges decision.
"It's got to put me top ten," he continued. "And that just means its a step closer to making this a professional job and getting paid to do what I love."
His only defeat comes to a guy now winning in the UFC, Gunnar Nelson, and Fadiora admits working 'five days a week, sometimes more' in a hospital is something he'd love to give up to train full-time in order to chase his dreams.
"Hopefully that was it," he said, referencing the win, hoping it would be enough to tip the scales in favour of fighting as a career.

Today I had a chance to speak with John Boehner and congratulated Mitch McConnell on becoming the next Senate majority leader," said Barack Obama in the opening of his White House press conference following the Democrats' Nov. 4 massacre. "And I told them both that I look forward to finishing up this Congress's business and then working together for the next two years to advance America's business."
The president is looking forward to "working together to deliver for the American people."
Lancaster County suffers from severe budget problems every year because the tax revenue from its assessed valuation increases by only about $1.8 million per year even if it raises taxes by the maximum amount while its expense budget wants to rise at least $4 million every year.
For many years the county has relied on one-time money to provide the difference. It raised its building permit fees into the clouds and makes several million dollars each year from the sale of building permits.
Earlier this year, Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile asked to meet with Lancaster County Council Chairman Larry McCullough and myself to talk about his concerns, as well as concerns voiced by Indian Land residents about the level of service being provided.
Increasingly, the sheriff's deputies in the Panhandle area find themselves overwhelmed and undermanned by the growth of crime in Indian Land.
United Bible Way Church of Lancaster held its annual Fall Fellowship Family and Friends Day, on Sunday, Oct. 26.
In addition to the morning service and the decoration of 12 tables that were covered with delicious homemade foods, a Day of Remembrance for slain victims of Lancaster County, Soles for Departed Souls Memorial Walk and the observance of Breast Cancer Month by wearing pink T-shirts and presenting guests with pink ribbons were added to the annual activities.
In the fall, tax bills are sent out to county homeowners. Tax bills are normally sent out in early October, but due to some issues, the tax bills were mailed out later than normal. You should have received your tax notice by now.
Even those who are paying into an escrow account as part of their mortgage will receive a bill, so you will know what you are paying in taxes. You are responsible for forwarding this information on to the mortgage company.
Veteran University of South Carolina and Clemson fans each shared in some tough moments over the last week or so, but it had little to do with game results.
It would be more like game of life losses.
Those would be the recent passing of Billy Crenshaw and Johnny Hammond.
Mr. Crenshaw was an avid USC Gamecocks' fan. Johnny Hammond was a Lancaster High football standout going back to the late 1950s. His son Vance was a star athlete at Dorman High School in Spartanburg and later played football at Clemson where he was an All-ACC defensive lineman.
When it comes to policing itself for ethical violations, the 170-member General Assembly hasn't shown much interest in recent years – if you go by the number of formal opinions produced by the chambers' ethics committees.
The House and Senate Ethics committees issue written advisory opinions to their respective chambers to guide them when questions arise about state ethics laws.
Thank you, voters of Lancaster County, who supported me in my re-election for probate judge. I am humbled and honored by the response from the citizens of Lancaster County.
The faith you have shown me over the last two decades, and now for the next four years, is a true blessing, and I am grateful.
I would also like to publicly thank my campaign committee, who worked tirelessly to get our message out.
Thank you to my husband, Lanny, and our children for their love and support through all these years.
It has been an honor and privilege to serve Lancaster County Council District 4 for the past eight years.
Thanks to you I will represent you for the next four years with honesty and integrity as I have done in the past.
My support for the Sheriff's Office, EMS and Emergency Management will not change. We must remain strong in these areas throughout Lancaster County to protect our families and our property.
The first chapter of 2 Peter exhorts Christians to add seven character traits to their faith. Saving faith is the same precious commodity for all who have believed in our God and Savior Jesus Christ, and it has been secured by his
rigthteousness when he died for our sins and then rose again from the dead.

Gifts are fun to give and to receive . . . especially when they come beautifully wrapped. Oh the anticipation that builds as one gently unties the ribbon and then carefully folds back the paper to reveal what is inside. Unfortunately, some gifts do not come quite so beautifully wrapped. These gifts, even when given by a loved one, give us pause. Do we want to know what is inside? Read the rest of this entry »

I am inserting images into DIVS from a database. The images which are tall are over shooting the height of the DIV. I have fixed the width of the image so they dont overshoot the DIV width ways.
However I am struggling to fit the images in height whys. Can anyone advise how to do this please. Is it possible to fix both height and width so whatever the dimensions of image it will not overshoot the DIV.
Yes. You can do it via CSS, such as
img {width: 100px; height: 100px;}
or in the HTML itself:

I came up with similar solution but Ralph beat me to it.

Alicia - from Harlingen, TX
Yes, you can substitute applesauce for some of the fat in traditional recipes for baked goods. But fats play various important roles in baking – in particular texture, and messing with them too severely can cause problems. Fat also has a lot to do with carrying the flavor and nutrients in baking, so you should not do away with it entirely. You might want to start by substituting applesauce for just half the oil.

A man who jumped from the Hillsborough Bridge has been taken to hospital after Charlottetown firefighters pulled him from the water shortly before noon.
Speaking to the media at the scene, Deputy fire Chief Tim Mamye said he didn't know much about the man's condition, but the paramedics were able to start working on him as soon as rescuers had him back on land.
"I just know that he had some weak vitals, but I'm not quite sure after that," he said.
At around 10:30 a.m. the Charlottetown fire department received a call from the RCMP that someone had jumped off the Hillsborough Bridge into the river below.
Police, firefighters and Island EMS were quick to respond and moved to several locations on the waterfront as they tried to locate the man in the water.
It was a clear, sunny day with the temperature around 5 C, but the water was still cold with long stretches of ice along the shores.
That ice blocked access to the river and kept the fire department from launching its rescue boat from any of its three launch sites in Charlottetown.
Most of the emergency workers eventually gathered at the cruise ship port as they watched the river for any sign of the man.
Eventually two people on the Stratford side spotted him in the water.
With the ice hampering efforts to launch a rescue vessel, a contractor at the cruise ship terminal brought a small boat that firefighters were able to lower into the water using a forklift.
That was almost an hour after the man had gone into the water.
The rescuers were able to pull the man from the water and about 10 minutes after they set out, the firefighters brought him back to the wharf where he was lifted out of the boat and loaded into an ambulance.
A Canadian Coast Guard helicopter joined the search, but was only over the scene for a few minutes before the man was rescued.
Mamye said the people on the shore on the Stratford side had lost sight of the man, but the firefighters in the boat were able to find him.
"He was right along the ice line on the Stratford side," he said.

The module seems a bit tempremental, I've had no luck with the resolution so far.
Not so much bothered about the RaLink wifi drivers, since I replaced the card.
Everything was working fine yet my USB stick died, so I redone everything on a new stick.
Downloaded the 901_net_gfx.lzm file placed it into the /BT3/Optional Folder
Inserted the edit to the syslinux.cfg file
MENU LABEL BT3 EEE Mode
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=785 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw load=901_net_gfx
I see the new EEE entry on boot, select it and it boots without error. Login and startx then the screen briefly goes corrupted white, the then GUI loads but it seems to be in the wrong res, the bottom bar is cut off and so are some of the icons on the left.
Any ideas what is going on? I've done everything I did before with my old stick and cannot understand why the res is now incorrect.

Nice work, but I have a bad level in english so I didn't understand all the manipulation, so can you upload an image of BT3 all configured for an eee 901? It will be the most easyest way for non-english users like me
P.S. Megaupload allow now files up to 1 GB and if the image is more big than 1 GB divise it in 2 rar files
All the work you've done on this is really amazing. I own an Acer Aspire One that uses the same native screen resolution as the eee pc (1024x600). Right now I have backtrack 3 installed to HDD, and have managed to get X working at 800X600 using the custom xorg.conf file posted here. The problem is I'd like to be able to use the full 1024x600 resolution, and get sound working properly. I've tried doing lzm2dir 901_net_gfx.lzm / and the command appears to complete successfully, however it still boots in 800x600. I have a suspicion that the drivers just aren't being loaded, but I don't know how to go about fixing that, as with an HDD install there is no syslinux.cfg to edit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Media still distorting Kagan's record on military recruiting at Harvard
Research ››› ››› BROOKE OBIE
Peter Beinart claimed that Republicans are "right" to "beat the hell out of" Solicitor General Elena Kagan for "[b]arring the military from campus." In fact, while Kagan briefly applied Harvard's anti-discrimination policy to military recruiters following an appellate court ruling, recruiters still had access to Harvard students, and Kagan has testified that she would enforce the law as solicitor general.
Media again distort Kagan's record on opposition to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
Peter Beinart distorts Kagan's record to claim Kagan's actions were "a bit like barring the president or even the flag." From an April 19 Daily Beast blog post by Peter Beinart titled "Elena Kagan's Achilles' Heel":
If Solicitor General Elana [sic] Kagan gets the nod, conservatives will beat the hell out of her for opposing military recruitment on campus when she was dean of Harvard Law School. And liberals should concede the point; the conservatives will be right.
"I abhor the military's discriminatory recruitment policy," wrote Kagan in 2003. It is "a profound wrong-a moral injustice of the first order." So far, so good. Not allowing openly gay and lesbian Americans into the military is a grave moral injustice and it is a disgrace that so many Republicans defend the policy to this day. But the response that Kagan favored banning military recruiters from campus-was stupid and counterproductive. I think it showed bad judgment.
The United States military is not Procter and Gamble. It is not just another employer. It is the institution whose members risk their lives to protect the country. You can disagree with the policies of the American military; you can even hate them, but you can't alienate yourself from the institution without in a certain sense alienating yourself from the country. Barring the military from campus is a bit like barring the president or even the flag. It's more than a statement of criticism; it's a statement of national estrangement.
I doubt that's how Kagan or her fellow administrators meant it. But it is certainly the way it has been received. It's no coincidence that most Ivy League schools banned ROTC in the late 1960s, at exactly the moment liberalism was committing hara-kiri. The perception that liberals are unpatriotic stems from that moment in time and from actions just like that. And while the charge is and always has been unfair, banning recruiters from campus does suggest a somewhat impoverished understanding of patriotism. Yes, dissent is patriotic, as liberals love to declaim, but assent is an important part of patriotism too. Saying you show your love for your country only through criticism is like saying you show your love for your spouse only through criticism. It isn't likely to go over well.
NRO's Whelan highlights Beinart's anti-Kagan blog post. In an April 26 National Review Online post headlined "Liberals Versus Elena Kagan," Whelan quoted three paragraphs of Beinart's post and stated: "Peter Beinart, former editor of the New Republic, has joined the ranks of those raising alarms about the possible nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. But his take (emphasis added) is strikingly different from the far Left's."
After court ruling, Kagan briefly placed some restrictions on military recruiters
Kagan's decision to briefly reinstate restrictions on military recruiters followed Third Circuit decision stating that the law requiring full access was unconstitutional. In 2004, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit held 2-1 in FAIR v. Rumsfeld that the Solomon Amendment -- which stated that universities that do not provide access to military recruiters cannot receive certain federal money -- violated First Amendment free-speech rights. Judge Walter Stapleton, a Reagan appointee, joined the majority opinion in the case. Stapleton had previously been appointed to a federal district court judgeship by President Nixon. Kagan subsequently reinstated the ban against military recruitment through OCS for one semester in 2005 after the 3rd Circuit held that the law was unconstitutional. Kagan explained that she took the action because the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy violated Harvard's non-discrimination policy.
While restrictions were in place, military recruiters had access to Harvard Law students through school's veterans association. As Kagan explained in a September 2005 letter to her colleagues:
The Law School's anti-discrimination policy, adopted in 1979, provides that any employer that uses the services of OCS to recruit at the school must sign a statement indicating that that it does not discriminate on various bases, including sexual orientation. As a result of this policy, the military was barred for many years from using the services of OCS. The military retained full access to our students (and vice versa) through the good offices of the Harvard Law School Veterans Association, which essentially took the place of OCS in enabling interviews to occur.
I reinstated the application of our anti-discrimination policy to the military (after appropriate consultation with University officials) in the wake of the Third Circuit's decision; as a result, the military did not receive OCS assistance during our spring 2005 recruiting season.
Dozens of other law professors, other law schools, and the Cato Institute argued against the government's interpretation of the Solomon Amendment. As Media Matters for America has documented, Kagan joined a brief filed on behalf of 40 Harvard law professors arguing against the government's interpretation of the Solomon Amendment. Briefs filed on behalf of 100 other law professors also argued against the Solomon Amendment or the government's interpretation of that amendment, as did other organizations including the Cato Institute.
Other law schools have had policies that accorded with Harvard's. The Joint Appendix filed in connection with the appeal of FAIR v. Rumsfeld to the Supreme Court contains statements from numerous law professors detailing their law schools' attempts to restrict military recruiters' access to career services offices. Following the 3rd Circuit's decision, in addition to Harvard, Yale and New York Law School also reportedly reinstituted their restrictions against military recruiters. In addition, at least one other school had a more restrictive policy than Harvard. According to the FAIR v. Rumsfeld complaint, from 1989-2002, at Whittier Law School, "[m]ilitary recruiters were not permitted to post recruiting information, speak at school-sponsored events, sit at tables, access student/alumni addresses, leave material visible in any library area, or interview on campus. If a student expressed interest in a military JAG [Judge Advocate General] career, the director of career services would refer the student to a recruiting office."
Kagan testified that she would have defended Solomon Amendment had she been Solicitor General at time of case
In response to a written question from the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the Solomon Amendment, Kagan stated:
As I said at my hearing, I know well the procedural posture, facts, and arguments in the case, and I am sure that had I been Solicitor General at the time the Third Circuit decision came down, I would have asked the Supreme Court to review the decision. (Similarly, I would have sought appellate review in the Third Circuit had the district court held the Solomon amendment unconstitutional.) Indeed, this would have struck me as an easy case: a federal statute had been invalidated on constitutional grounds and there were clearly reasonable arguments that could be made in its defense. Those arguments, of course, would only be stronger today, in any future challenge to the Solomon Amendment, given the Supreme Court's emphatic decision upholding that statute's constitutionality. My approach to cases involving challenges to 10 U.S.C. § 654, the statute involving the don't-ask-don't-tell policy, would be the same. In this context, unlike in Rumsfeld v. FAIR, I do not know and cannot discuss the facts, procedural posture, and arguments associated with any particular case. But I can say that in any case attacking the constitutionality of 10 U.S.C. § 654, I would apply the usual strong presumption of constitutionality and give full weight to the factors supporting this presumption, such as the prior appellate court decisions upholding the statute and the doctrine of judicial deference to legislation involving military matters.

Great little tree
By Toni
from Plano, TX
I wanted a small thin tree for a corner in my kitchen and this is IT. Perfect to light up a dark space and since there is not a cord, it can be set up anywhere. I'm not sure how many batteries I will go through (6 D"s at a time) but it is quite worth it to me.

USC Aiken installs Chancellor Sandra Jordan
By Patti McGrath, USC Aiken, firstname.lastname@example.com
USC Aiken officially ushered in a new era Friday (March 1) with the installation of Sandra Jordan as its fourth chancellor.
Jordan shared her love for public higher education and her commitment to USC Aiken at an investiture ceremony held late morning in the USC Aiken Convocation Center. She became chancellor July 2012.
"I am proud of the work of this institution. I love working in higher education. It is my life's work, and it gives me great joy," Jordan said. " Here and now I promise you my energy, intellect and commitment to advance USC Aiken's threefold mission to provide students with access to a university dedicated to teaching excellence, to advance knowledge and to put that knowledge to work through regional service."
The investiture of a chancellor, marked by music and academic regalia, is a significant event in the life of a university. More than 400 faculty, staff, alumni, Board of Trustees, public officials and community leaders attended the ceremony and watched as USC President Harris Pastides presented Jordon with the USC Aiken medallion, a symbol of the university's authority.
"USC Aiken has a powerful history that we must build upon, and we have an exciting future that we are only just beginning to envision. We will always honor our past but we are ready to embrace our bold new future," she said. "I am greatly honored and sincerely moved to be standing before you as the fourth chancellor of this fine university."
Former USC Aiken chancellors Robert Alexander and Thomas Hallman were present, joining an array of leaders who offered remarks of pride, well-wishes and optimism.
Rep. Roland Smith, Aiken, extolled the importance of having an educated citizenry and the critical role of USC Aiken and other institutions of higher learning.
Tim Simmons represented the Aiken County Commission of Higher Learning.
"The Aiken County Commission exists to work as a partner with this university to make it the very best it can be – and in you, our new chancellor – we have found a partner with the vision and determination to take this institution to even greater heights. I truly believe our best days lie ahead," Simmons said.
Aiken Mayor Fred Cavanaugh and North Augusta Mayor Lark Jones were among the speakers as was Dwayne Wilson, president and chief executive officer of Savannah Nuclear Solutions, who represented the business community.
"This is truly a first class regional university with great vision, drive and values," Wilson said. "USC Aiken has benefited from great leadership throughout its history and enjoys a strong partnership with the business community – a tradition that I know will continue under your leadership."
The USC Aiken community was represented by Donald Miles, alumni; Tripp Warrick, students; Harry Shealy, faculty; and John Hutchens, staff.
USC Aiken is a senior institution of the University of South Carolina system with more than 3,200 students pursuing bachelor's and master's degrees in 47 programs of study. USC Aiken is ranked the No. 1 public regional college in the South by U.S. News & World Report's guide to "America's Best Colleges." 2013 marks 15th consecutive year USC Aiken has been ranked among the top three in the category, including nine years in first place.

Like Pitt, Gregory is in some ways the more obvious heartthrob.
Jolie may have played seductress, but she gave Pitt what he so desperately (and publicly) wanted.
Pitt had already gotten booked for Se7en, lobbied hard to get the part in 12 Monkeys, the director Terry Gilliam has said.
Kelly, who graduated from Pitt in 1933, should easily waltz past Colorado Rockies third baseman Ty Wigginton's UNC Asheville.
Pitt, who is not involved in the case, speculates that he will raise an insanity defense.
And then mayhap you'll tell me if your Pitt was ever half so eloquent.
Pitt received it on a Sunday, when all the public offices were closed.
Strong as Pitt was in the country he was weak in parliament.
In the first place, Feinermann, what for a neighborhood is Pitt Street to live in?
Mr. Gladstone declared that Burke was directly responsible for the war with France, for "Pitt could not have resisted him."

The ETF industry's fee wars certainly are heating up lately. But not uniformly. Here's a prediction: Investors are less likely to see the benefits in niche funds. Not until there's the same level of intense competition between massive fund sponsors vying for investor attention.
Big, largely commoditized emerging-markets funds and S&P 500 trackers are going to duke it out on cost. That's great for investors. But don't expect the same thing for, say, an auto-sector fund with no Vanguard Group clone. Nor for an equal-weighted fund giving access to a swath of smallcap stocks.
Arriving at Morningstar's ETF Invest conference this afternoon, I sat down with First Trust ETF strategist Ryan Issakainen, who makes the distinction between (1) the big, well-known "beta" funds that are ratcheting down fee levels as we speak, and (2) ETFs like First Trust's, which use less conventional indexing methods and often focus on specializes niches.
"There are two camps," Issakainen says, and "the pressure is on the more similar products."
Take the First Trust Nasdaq Technology Dividend Index Fund (TDIV), a specialized swath of dividend-paying technology stocks including International Business Machines (IBM) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). (Next year, the fund should be adding Apple (AAPL), whose August dividend payment barely missed an inclusion deadline.) Its expense ratio is 0.50% — well above the most heavily used plain-vanilla ETFs. And this cost isn't being undercut by another similar fund on the market.
Indeed, how you view the cost depends on the comparison. If your benchmark is mutual funds, expect something north of 1%. That makes 0.5% look cheap. If your benchmark is ETFs, well, yes, it's more than the PowerShares QQQ (QQQ). But you don't get the same dividend payout in the Q's. Moreover, the index construction is substantially different. There happens to be no other ETF that does exactly what TDIV does.
Here's another way of putting it: ETF fees on specialized products won't come down until competitors force them to.
So could the entry of new players change this? Sure, says Issakainen. There are no real barriers to entry, he says, except for the task of building a following among investors (an admittedly nettlesome problem for many).
Asked whether Fidelity Investments' plans to launch a suite of specialized, sector-specific ETFs could put on the pressure, Issakainen took the view that no ETF provider's success is certain, including companies with huge success in other product lines. "Fidelity's a big name, but [that] doesn't automatically mean [they build] a following," he said.
