You are going to cringe when you read about this statue removal in the state just south of you: http://www.mrctv.org/blog/
Where do we draw the line? Arlington Cemetery is tax-payer funded yet every grave stone has either a Cross, Star of David, Crescent or some other symbol of faith. I even saw one with the Wiccan symbol. Every American cemetery overseas (administered by the ABMC) has a Christian chapel located within the grounds, but inside the chapel other faiths are represented. And here in Gettysburg, one of the most popular memorials, dedicated to the New York regiments of the Irish Brigade, has a Celtic Cross as its main component. Oh, and since I am not Catholic, I should be offended every time I drive by the statue of Father Corby as he gives final absolution to his men, etc., etc.
Now, I am not trying to goad some of your more cynical readers into a philosophical debate on this topic, because I won't respond. As taxpayers, why should community members have to fund the defense of such ridiculous lawsuits when the money could be spent for more urgent things, such as snow removal. ;-)

Mark - that link doesn't work. What statue did the article refer to? BTW, how's the book coming?
- 24 January, 2016 11:08
It referred to a fallen hero memorial in a small NC town (can't remember which one) that showed a soldier kneeling by a fallen comrade's grave marked with a cross. An atheist organization threatened to file a lawsuit and the spineless town officials ordered the memorial to be removed.
The first book, _My Gettysburg: Meditations on History and Place_, is complete--images, captions, permissions and all. Waiting for the galley proofs. Still working on _Gettysburg's Other Battle: The Ordeal of an American Shrine during the First World War_. I hope to have it completed and off to the publisher by April. Both are being published by Kent State University Press.
Thirty inches of snow here in Gettysburg. Feels more like Valley Forge.

Mark: Oh yes, I heard about that. No surprise. The ACLU types, with their deep pockets, usually just has to threaten a suit and bureaucrats, with no stomach or bank account for a fight, fold. It's despicable. More PC crap.
I'm looking forward to the book(s).
After researching 3 potential topics for my next book, and vacillating between those topics, I've finally made a decision and am passionate about it. I'll be discussing it in the months to come.

Stamp Zuckerberg has at long last laid out some of what he wants to do with the virtual reality organization that he purchased for $2 billion in 2014.
The vision shows up for the most part to incorporate developing a whole virtual reality with social connections at its inside.
The greater part of the VR encounters that are as of now accessible don't have any multiplayer viewpoint and include stopping the player from whatever is left of the world. In any case, at Oculus' third yearly designers gathering the organization flaunted a scope of Facebook investigations that inside around social VR and will come to clients soon.
Numerous had pondered what Facebook wanted to do with its new $2 billion virtual reality organization and how it would tie in with Facebook's business of having individuals interface with others and after that collecting that information for promoting. In any case, the organization exhibited some of that at the occasion.
"Virtual the truth is the ideal stage to put individuals first," Mr Zuckerberg said at an occasion that saw him put on a virtual reality headset of his own.
He went into a world that saw him hop into various intriguing areas with two other Facebook staff individuals who had made their own virtual reality symbols. Those symbols could be found in the same area, and as their proprietors moved around so did their virtual renditions.
The three then played a few recreations in a virtual form of the Facebook central station, where they could play amusements and watch movies together. It additionally flaunted how it was conceivable to accept calls, look in on his home and even take a family picture utilizing a virtual selfie stick.
The organization flaunted current uses of the social elements for Oculus, as well. Those included Avatars, which gives individuals a chance to make virtual renditions of themselves, and new elements called Parties and Rooms which let individuals get together in virtual reality.
The organization likewise flaunted how virtual reality encounters may come to Facebook in the closer future. The organization showed how it is pushing its function with livestreaming recreations into virtual reality.
The organization will give individuals a chance to communicate the diversions they're playing in Gear VR – Samsung's telephone controlled virtual reality headset, which was created working Oculus – onto their Facebook channel. That will give individuals a chance to watch what other individuals are doing, in 2D, on their ordinary encourage.
It will show up as a notice like an ordinary live video, and permit individuals to like, talk or whine about it in the remarks.
Facebook likewise flaunted a scope of different items evidently proposed to make virtual reality less demanding to purchase. Right now, its Rift headset costs several dollars, yet the organization is taking a shot at another remote headset that could make it much more reasonable to clients.

i would like to know if you can still have breast augmentation if you have a sunken chest? i have looked all over to see if other people or doctors have done it an i cant seem to find an answer.
I Would Like to Know if You Can Still Have Breast Augmentation With A Sunken Chest?
Doctor Answers 14
Breast augmentation candidates with sunken chest
Thank you for your question. Many times, breast augmentation is a great way to camouflage a depression in the chest. To see if this might be right for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.
Pectus excavatum and breast augmentation
Certainly you can have bresat augmentation with pectus excavatum but it will not treat you concave chest. The implants also may displace a bit due to the angle of the rib cage.
Pectus excavatum and breast implants
Pectus excavatum is the term used to describe a sunken funnel chest with a concavity in the central chest area. The treatment for that condition is surgery on the bone to move it or placement of a custom made implant. If the concavity is severe it compromises heart lung function and the patient should have the bone surgery. In females if the concavity is mild it can be partially camouflaged with breast implants. If the concavity is severe without compromise of heart lung function a custom pectus implant is a better option followed by breast implants if desired at a later date. It is not a good idea to get the breast implants first if you need the pectus implants because if all the implants are submuscular you could end up with symmastia. I prefer the pectus implants first placed under the muscle and sometime later the breast implants, also under the muscle in most cases. If you put the breast implants under the muscle in less severe cases of pectus excavatum they are less likely to camouflage the defect.
I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Breast Implants for Sunken Chest
Pectus excavatum is not that uncommon. Many patients with a pectus can benefit from simply placing breast implants. The breast implants actually help hide the indentation of the breast bone. The main concern is not to make the implant pocket too close to the midline of the breast bone, so as not to end up with a "uniboob" or synmastia. The differences from one side to the other will remain after your surgery, but the volume difference can be improved. I commonly make the incision in the armpit to avoid a "cut" on the breast. Also be aware you will never obtain cleavage because of the indent and the high risk of migration of the implants toward the center on the breast bone.

A "Sunken Chest" Deformity called Pectus Excavatum and Breast Implants
Yes, you can have Breast Augmentation with a sunken chest called Pectus Excavatum. I have performed this procedure many times on women with varying degrees of this deformity. Sometimes a normal breast implant augmentation procedure is performed, which tends to camouflage the deformity. Other times a minor soft tissue release is necessary to prevent a cross eyed appearance to your nipples. In severe cases of Pectus Excavatum I usually recommend filling this concavity with a custom made solid silicone implant to provide a much more normal contour to the chest wall and improve the position and angle of the breasts.

Breast augmentation with deep chest cleavage
Women with a mild "Pectus excavatum" or sunken chest may have very pleasant outcomes with the appropriate choice of implant size, shape and position.
The procedure can be performed very successfully and often the only issue is that the cleavage appears a little deep, which is a feature that some women actually appreciate.
Breast augmentation with a sunken chest
You can have breast implants with a sunken chest, also called a pectus excavatum. Unless the implants are chosen carefully however as the depression can be made more noticable with a 'canyon' effect on your chest. In general a lower profile implant will give a nicer result, and asymmetry is common with a pectus and must be accommodated in the plan. Of course the pectus can be corrected with a custom solid implant if the augmentation will not work out without.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Breast Augmentation With Pectus Deformity
A pectus excavatum or "sinken chest" is not a contraindication to having a breast augmentation. You should be aware, however, that an augmentation will not improve the pectus and may, in fact, make it more noticeable.
Chest wall shape and breast augmentation
The shape of a woman's chest most certainly plays a role in the result they achieve with breast augmentation. This certainly does not mean you should not have it but proper planning on your and your plastic surgeon's part is very important. If implants that are too wide are chosen you run a greater risk of your breasts being too close together. As a rule breast augmentation is in a woman with a pectus excavatum yields breasts that are closer together out of a bra. You would do well to search photo galleries for patients with pectus excavatum. Many plastic surgeons will have a separate section for chest wall asymmetry.
I hope this helps
Dr. Edwards
Breast augmentation with pectus excavatum
In my experience a breast augmentation in patients with a sunken chest or pectus excavatum can help to camouflage this area. I have several patients with this problem who feel that it is much less noticeable after the breast augmentation.
It is possible to have the implants too close together so care must be given to implant placement so as not to have the implants too close together. Also, in many cases the ribs are angled toward the breastbone and the nipple may appear to point toward the midline. This will probably appear this way after the breast augmentation as well.
Thank you for your question and good luck.

The heading can be very interesting when the NEEDS of humans are really to be considered!
Another AMAZING observation would be how easily "NEEDS" can be adapted when REAL and TRUE necessity becomes relevant.
After a very trying and tiring day at work, and feeling totally exhausted, I "NEED" to finish up and get to bed post-haste. I "NEED" TO SLEEP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
As I snuggle into bed my wife rushes in and cries out that our child has started bleeding very profusely. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I "NEED" TO GET MY SON TO HOSPITAL NOW, POST-HASTE!
At this stage I have made the heading to be a Part 2 as there will be more endorsements of false religion being made against our Creator as my WEBSITE expands.
Matthew 12:30 reads:
"30 He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters."
From this Scripture we can obviously take note that Jesus is saying that "whoever is not on his side is against him." If someone is against Jesus then that person is also thus against Jehovah God.
Obviously then, if Jehovah God commands that people must perform certain actions and another person states that they must not, then the person that is nullifying Jehovah God's command is against Jehovah God.
I have made this DISCUSSION a PART 1 as I might only discuss a few differences at first and quite possibly continue at a later stage, if necessary, if there are more differences that I can think of.
The Bible states that for all intents and purposes, we as humans have as our SUPREME RULER, Jehovah God who is the HIGHEST AUTHORITY. Jehovah God is Almighty and Omniscient.
Just below our Creator Jehovah God, is His Son, Jesus Christ who DEFINITELY does not have the absolute power or omniscience that His Heavenly Father has! As far as we humans are concerned, Jesus has the power and knowledge that is nearest to that of Jehovah God.
Where does the Holy Spirit fit in?
February 2nd, 2012 | Author: Douglas
If ALL my family and loved ones would just commence gaining accurate Bible knowledge and then persevere in doing the EXPLICIT will of Jehovah God to the best of their ability, as the Bible commands it must be done, then there is also according to the Bible, a strong hope that they will never "taste" death. SO THEY WILL POSSIBLY NEVER EVER HAVE TO PHYSICALLY DIE!
John 11:25 & 26 reads:
"25 Jesus said to her: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; 26 and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?"
In the Bible Jesus asks: "Do YOU believe this?

Point Guard Dual: Rondo vs. Tillford
Two of the best point guards in Jefferson County locked horns Tuesday night at Eastern High School. The Eastern Eagles, led by 6'2 junior All-America Rajon Rondo faced the Jeffersontown Chargers and 5'10 sophomore Dominic Tillford, in a good 7th region game.
Eastern dominated the first quarter getting easy baskets off its pressure defense. At the end of the first frame, the Eagles led 26-10 and the game looked as though it would get ugly. That's when the officials took over. Rondo picked up his third foul early in the second quarter and spent the last seven minutes of the half on the bench. He played a total of 6 first half minutes.
With Rondo on the bench, the Chargers went to work. Led by Tillford, the Chargers cut into Eastern's lead and went to the break trailing only 35-31 to the much more talented Eagles.
Tillford, one of the top freshman in Jefferson County last season at Jtown, transferred over the summer to local power Ballard. After his appeal for eligibility was denied by the KHSAA, he transferred back to Jtown in order to play this season as a sophomore.
Tillford, ranked as the second best sophomore point guard in Jefferson County by ITV behind Pleasure Ridge Park's JuJuan Spillman and named one of the Top 100 sophomores nationally by Clark Francis of the Hoop Scoop prior to the season, is a quick and crafty ball handler who has no trouble breaking the press with his dribble. He 's equally good going left or right and can control the offense with his ability to handle the rock.
At 5'10 and maybe 140, Tillford clearly needs additional strength and size to reach his potential. His jump shot is something right out of an Alfred Hitchcock horror film too. It's not not fair to call it a jump shot. It's more of a one handed, leaning push shot with little or no elevation on his release. But he finds a way to put the ball in the basket.
On the night, Tillford was clearly the best player on the floor when Rondo was not in the game. He connected on 9-18 shots from the field and hit 2-5 three pointers and 2-3 free throws. He had 0 assists but should have had a half dozen if the guys he passed to could have knocked in some jumpers. Tillford, despite his slight build, went inside and pulled down 5 rebounds and had 2 steals as well.
A couple of plays were really impressive and demonstrate the potential Tillford possesses. On one offensive series, Dominic made a slick dribble move into the lane past Rondo, spun to his left and nailed a 15 foot jumper in the lane. His shooting form actually looks pretty good the closer he get to the basket. On another play, Tillford received the ball on the break on the left wing, spun away from the defender, elevated and banked home a 10 footer.
All in all it was a good effort and his performance did nothing to hurt his stock in the ITV rankings. I'd still have to rank him slightly behind Spillman at the point guard slot in his class because Spillman is more explosively quick and shoots the ball better from the outside. Tillford needs to eat, eat and then hit the weights hard. A growth spurt of a couple inches wouldn't hurt either. But he's clearly one of the top 4 or 5 sophs in the city and a nice player to watch.
Back to the game. Rondo joined the action two minutes after the break and Eastern regained control of the game. There's no questioning Rondo's ability. He is flat out the best player in Jefferson County and will battle Chris Lofton for the honor statewide.
At times, Rondo simply looks uninspired and bored with this level of competition. But when he has the ball in his hands the game and the opponent are at his mercy. He's powerful with the bounce and in total control of the ball and the game off the dribble. He can get into the lane off the dribble. He can break the press off the bounce and he finds open teammates after breaking down the defense.
Rondo is clearly an excellent athlete and seemingly can score at will against this kind of competition. His jump shot has improved leaps and bounds this season and he's added a consistent mid range jump shot off the bounce and displayed a spin move jump shot in the lane tonight on a few occasions.
On one offensive set late in the game, Rondo took the ball near mid court on the left side of the court, waived his teammates to clear the floor, and totally blew by his man with a left hand dribble and powered over two defenders and finished in the lane. It was one POWERFUL and AUTHORITATIVE drive to the hoop and proved to all in the gym who was in control of the game.
On the night, Rondo played only 20 minutes and drilled 6-11 shots from the field and 8-9 free throws for 20 points. He also had 3 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Despite narrowing the gap in the second half, the Eagles pulled away late in the fourth quarter and held on to defeat Jtown 72-66.

Keith Downie of Sky Sports is reporting that Newcastle are ready to take 29 year-old Atletico Madrid's Brazilian left back Guilherme Siqueira on loan for the rest of the season and in a late update from Keith he says Guilherme is expected at Newcastle over the weekend to take a medical.
It looks like this deal could be real!
29 year-old Atletico Madrid left back Guilherme Siqueira
BREAKING: We understand Newcastle are on the verge of agreeing to take Athletico Madrid left back Guilherme Siqueira on loan til the summer.
— Keith Downie (@SkySports_Keith) January 29, 2016
The player has been at the Madrid club since the summer of 2014 when he signed on from Spanish club Granada, but he has played only 7 times for Atletico so far this season.
However, in the last 18 months since joining Atletico Madrid he has played a total of 45 times for the Spanish club.
There was news earlier today that we are interested in signing Valencia Argentine International left-back Lucas Orban on loan for the rest of the season – so it looks we will bring at least one left back in before Monday.
Orban can also play at center-back.
After beginning his career in Brazil Siqueira signed on at Udinese in Italy in 2006 and was there for four years before signing on at Granada.
He also stayed there for four years and played 108 times with 13 goals for Granada before moving to Atletico Madrid 18 months ago.
In the 2013-2014 season he went on a season long loan to Benfica and he played in the Europa League Final for Benfica when they lost to Sevilla on penalties.
In that season he played 33 times for the Portuguese giants, so he is an experienced player.
It could be that Newcastle are moving for some defenders who the Newcastle coach Ian Cathro knows about because of the time he spent in Spain as assistant manager at Valencia and in the same capacity with Rio Ave in Portugal.
Either of these left backs on loan would seem to be a good deal for Newcastle.
Athletico left back Siqueira is expected in the North East for his Newcastle United medical over the weekend.

I thought I wasn't ready to tell my story, but reading some of the stories that have been shared here gave me the courage. I lost my daughter Cathi on January 16th, 2010 to a hotel fire in Birmingham. I also lost my niece Angel that night, along with two of their dearest friends.
My daughter was 18 and in her first year of college. She came down to Florida to visit for her Christmas break. She was here from December 4 and she left to go back to school on Jan 8th. I can still see her face as she boarded the shuttle that would take her to the plane, she stopped and turned her head over her shoulder and said "Mommy I love you." How could I have known it would be the last time I would ever see my child alive, a week later she was gone.
Her and her cousin and 2 friends decided to leave college that weekend and head to Birmingham for the weekend to shop with all the gift money they had received. They checked in at the Days Inn in a beautiful part of town. A fire was started by an illegal immigrant that was allowed to work there on an expired visa. Instead of calling 911, this man was so afraid of getting into trouble that he tried to put the fire out himself.
The hotel had no working fire extinguishers or sprinklers, so by the time someone actually did call 911 it was too late for those beautiful young women.
These were good girls, doing the right thing with their lives. My daughter has taught me many lessons in life by just watching the person she was. She was kind and generous to everyone, even people who hurt or mistreated her. She would say, "mom just forgive and let God do the rest."
I miss my girls, my pain is surreal at the moment. I never thought it would happen to "me" but it has.
God bless us all who have and are experiencing these loses, all we can do is help each other, and be patient.
I live my life now as if everyday is my last, and in that I find much joy.
Thank-you for listening.

Hey everyone, as you can probably guess I am super-excited for the new season of Arrested Development which is set to come out sometime in May. Due to this excitement I have decided to start counting down to the premiere with an Arrested Development-themed blog post every week. To start things off I am returning to my ongoing News Roundup feature where I examine all the news surrounding the new season. I haven't done an update in a couple of months, so lets see what's been going on. Be sure to check out my previous news roundups for more Arrested Development happenings
Previous News Roundups
#1 Walk-on Winners announced: In october Netflix held a competition to give 6 lucky fans a walk-on role in Arrested Development season 4 and among the winner were a girl who sang a song about Arrested Development, a guy who made an Arrested Development chess game, and a team of guys who made a real-life stair car.
My Thoughts: I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't win with my entry, but all the winning entries were pretty cool. Maybe something similar will come along for me in the future. Congrats to all the winners.
#2: The New Season with stream in Canada(source)
My Thoughts: This is good news for our friends up North
#3: Netflix puts fake Arrested Development shows up for streaming(source): Netflix has put up the Fake shows(Scandalmakers, etc) featured in Arrested Development up in streaming, It just has the screenart and synopsis and it links back to the Arrested Development page
My Thoughts: This is pretty cool, even if the shows aren't actually available for viewing. You would think they could make each one link to a clip from Arrested Development where the show is mentioned.
#4: Judy Greer(Kitty Sanchez) apparently gets flashed all the time (source): Greer plays George Senior's secretary who has a penchant for flashing her breast and saying "Say goodbye to these." apparently fans enjoy this and do the same to her. It's mostly guys she says.
My Thoughts: I don't think I would flash her, but it might be funny to see it happen.
#5: Season 4 will have 14 episodes instead of 10 (source): Instead of the original planned 10 season 4 will have 14 episodes.
My Thoughts: This is fantastic news!
#6: May 4 premiere date leaked, but officially denied by Netflix(source:) A publicity site for Fox apparently leaked the date along with episode titles, but Netflix denied the rumored date. May will apparently be the premiere month though(source)
My Thoughts: I really wish they would tell us the official date already, but at least we get that it will come out in May. I have a feeling it might be later in May, to take advantage of Network tv shows ending.
#7: Season 4 episode titles revealed(source): along with the rumored premiere date a list of episode title was also leaked. Here is the list
Michael 1 Michael 2 George Sr. 1 George Sr. 2 Lindsay 1 Lindsay 2 Tobias Gob Maeby Lucille Buster George Michael 1 George Michael 2 Gob 2
My thoughts: This basically confirms the format of following one character per episode, with Michael, George Senior, Lindsay, Gob and George Michael each getting two episodes. It makes sense that Michael would be featured in the first two episode, since he is that main character and kind of the middle man between his family in the audience. I think the pick a good group to have for two parters. I find it interesting that the split the two Gob episodes, so we will see about that.
#8: Mitch Hurwitz reveals more plot/ format details(source1 source 2): In interviews Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz revealed a few details about season 4 including
1. Michael will be the only character in all the episodes
2. Parts of Season 4 will take place in 2006 after the original series finale
3. It is designed as a prologue to a potential movie.
4. The entire cast will only reunite for one scene in the final episode.
My Thoughts: Some of this we already knew, but even if only Michael will appear in all the episodes I'm sure characters will interact with others outside of their episodes. I'm glad the new season will lead into a movie, because then that gives it a little bit of purpose.
#9: Netflix uses blue handprints as publicity for the new season(source): If you search for the word blue on Netflix a blue handprint will appear in the corner, a reference to Tobias "blueing" himself in Arrested Development. If you click on it it will take you to the scene in "The One Where Michael Leaves" where Tobias says "I just blue myself"
My thoughts: Some good marketing. I wonder if they will come up with anything else
#10: Michael Cera joins the writing staff for Season 4 (source): Michael Cera, who plays George Michael on the show has revealed Mitch Hurwitz has asked him to be part of the writing staff for the new season.
My Thoughts: I say good for Michael. It would be interesting to see his name as one of the writing credits. I don't know what episodes he will be writing, but he will probably help with the two George Michael episodes
#11: According to Jason Bateman Season 4 will feature a more pathetic Michael(source): In an interview Jason Bateman said Michael will be a more pathetic character in the new season
My Thoughts: Its been a couple years so obviously alot has happened to the entire family and Michael just might end up having a lot of bad thing happened. It will be a role reversal as Michael seems somewhat to be the stable one in his family.
New Photos:
My thoughts: What I can surmise from the above photo is that Tobias is involved in some sort of accident, or his faking being in an accident. He also appears to be meditating. To me Lindsay seems like see out of it, like maybe she's on drugs(teamocil or some other supplement) Gob just appears uninterested. My best guess would be this is the final reunion scene in the final episode.
#2: (source)
My Thoughts: This looks like a extension of the photos released a couple months ago with Michael at the airport with the stars of Workoholics. He looks pretty annoyed so they are probably not handling his ticketing or whatever very well. This would fit with early comments about the Workoholics role in the new season
My Thoughts: My best guess is that this takes place in the early part of the season because the Bluth logo hasn't been changed to Bluth Austero which we've seen in other photos. It looks like George Michael is backing up, so either he is stuck under what looks like a bridge in the photo or he is about to be stuck. It looks like he is looking back to someone who is guiding him. That some I would think is mostly likely Michael.
#4: (source)
My thoughts: My best guess is that this is from one of the Gob episode(probably the first one) since Michael is set to appear in all the episodes. Based on this photo and the one with Lindsay, Tobias, and Gob above I think the penthouse is going to be a key locale in the new season. It appears as though Michael is slightly perturbed at Gob. Perhaps he asked Michael for money.
That concludes the latest developments for Arrested Development Season 4, let me know if I missed anything and I will try to update this post and stayed tuned for more Arrested Development News.

Khloe Kardashian Talks Weight Gain Critiques From Kris Jenner, Works Killer Curves On Cosmo
Khloe Kardashian does not hold anything back. This was the case when she chatted with Cosmopolitan magazine, who brought up a time when her mom Kris Jenner called her out for putting on a few pounds.Anyone who's seen the Kardashian's multiple reality shows, knows that
Khloe defended her momager, telling the magazine, "Listen, my mom believes in us more than we believe in ourselves. But she is also our manager and trying to protect our brand."
Dressed in a SUPER sexy translucent black top on her Cosmo cover, Khloe added of Kris:
"She'll say, 'Oh, you're a little too fat right now.' If she were just my manager, I'd have fired her right then. You can't talk to me like that."
What do you think? Is this tough love, or just rude? Sound off in the comments.
She later retweeted a message from a fan that read: "That's a fact :) LOL "@KhloeKhlover: @KhloeKardashian I think deep down inside the haters are obsessed with u but they don't want admit it"

May 15, 2010 – The record for the World's Largest Photo has just been broken. Awhile back I wrote about a 26 GigaPixel image that set the record as the world's largest digital panorama. GigaPan, creators of the GigaPan EPIC Pro, announced that a 45 GigaPixel image taken of Dubai has taken the top spot as the world's largest digital photo. If printed, this photo would be the size of nearly 1200 billboards.
Recently, photographer Gerald Donovan took a majestic image of a landscape in Dubai using the GigaPan EPIC Pro robotic camera mount. He shot the photo using a Canon 7D camera coupled with GigaPan's EPIC Pro robotic mount, which took nearly 4,250 pictures over a three and half-hour time frame. With the help of GigaPan Engineers Randy Sargent and Paul Heckbert, they stitched together the thousands of photos into one very large image using Autopano stitching software and uploaded it to the GigaPan.org site.
Here's a link to view the record-breaking image along with other famous images like Barack Obama's Presidential Inaugural Address. No special downloads or programs are required.


text: Bit gutted, got a puncture on the outside edge of my 18" goodyear f1s, it was a bloody fat screw. i took the alloy off and put the audi spare (looked like a 16" or 17") on in its place so i could go and get the puncture repaired. I was told they couldnt repair it cos of the location of the puncture. So i get back to the car and decide to move it round the corner with the spare on. As i tried to pull off there was resistance, almost as if the handbrake was on, it just didnt want to move. I gave some more revs then jerked forward a little and was then fine, it started moving. I am really worried that i may have done some damage but cant tell much at the moment as its dark. I cant think for the life of me what would have been causing the resistance and why it jerked forward, any ideas?

Latest content added for Digital Library Partner: UNT Librarieshttps://digital.library.unt.edu/explore/partners/UNT/browse/?fq=str_degree_discipline:Curriculum+and+Instruction&fq=str_degree_department:College+of+Education2014-08-22T18:00:56-05:00UNT LibrariesThis is a custom feed for browsing Digital Library Partner: UNT LibrariesTeachers' Perceptions of their Enculturation Process2014-08-22T18:00:56-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc331999/

The purpose of this study was to construct portrayals of teachers7 work conceptions in various career stages from the stories they told and the metaphors they used to describe the ways in which teachers learned about their work. Specifically, the study included preservice teachers, first-year teachers, third-year teachers, and teachers with more than four years of teaching experience at the elementary and secondary school levels. Thirty-five elementary and secondary school teachers from the North-Central area of Texas participated in this study (nineteen inservice and sixteen preservice teachers). Qualitative techniques were employed to collect data. The preservice teachers filled out a questionnaire and wrote short stories about their preconceptions of their first year of teaching. Inservice teachers were interviewed using a short questionnaire and a long interview schedule. Nine inservice teachers participated in a storytelling workshop/focus group session. Group stories based on predetermined scenarios were constructed, tape-recorded and transcribed. The focus group session was videotaped and transcribed. Fifteen categories emerged from the analysis of the data: cyclical, ritualized, hierarchical, reciprocal, developmental, experiential, reflective, cumulative, body of knowledge, folkloric, individualized/personalized, order/control/manage, disciplinarian, facilitative, and replicative. These categories represent a summary of the constructs, images, contextual maps and metaphors held by these teachers to describe their enculturation process. The descriptive categories developed in this study offer teacher educators, supervisors and teachers a basis for understanding the culture of teachers. The storytelling technigues used in this study provide a means by which teachers and teacher-related personnel can generate further information about the enculturation process that can be applied to recruitment, orientation/ induction programming, reflective teacher preparation and change strategies.
The Impact of Student Thinking Journals and Generic Problem Solving Software on Problem Solving Performance and Transfer of Problem Solving Skills2014-03-26T09:30:20-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278982/

This study examined the effects of specially designed thinking journal activities that have been attributed with encouraging reflective thinking, on instruction using generic, or content-free problem solving software. Sixty-three fourth grade students participated in four instructional sessions using a software package called Moptown Hotel. Students completed separate posttests that measured (1) performance on problems of the same kind as those used in instruction, and (2) transfer of skills to other kinds of problems. Scores of students who wrote thinking journals prior to testing were compared with scores of students who did not. Results indicate that students who wrote thinking journals performed the same as students who did not when tested on problems similar to those practiced in class. Tests in which students transferred their skills to word problems, however, produced significant differences. There was no significant difference between scores when averaged over all four weekly occasions. However, for the final session alone, students who wrote thinking journals scored higher on tests of problem solving transfer than students who did not (p < .01). The study also examined the relationship between the degree of metacognitive thought displayed in students' journal entries, and their measured problem solving ability. Results indicate that students who had higher average reflectivity scores also had higher average problem solving performance and transfer scores (p < .05). It was also noted that the significant relationship between reflectivity and scores of problem solving ability was only observed in male students. It was concluded that under the right conditions, and for the right kinds of problems, thinking journal writing can help students understand their own thinking processes, resulting in improved problem solving behavior. The study also raises the question of whether there are differences between the ways that male and female students apply metacognitive awareness gained through journal writing experiences.
Homecourt: A Nondirective Student Support Group2014-03-26T09:30:20-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279264/

The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze how Homecourt, a nondirective support group at a public high school in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, operates and how it affects students.
A Comparative Analysis of the Effects of Video-Based versus Live Presentation Staff Development on Teachers' Cognitive Learning and Attitudes2014-03-26T09:30:20-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279179/

The problem of this study was the identification of effective and efficient means of providing quality staff development for reading instruction within a school-district setting. The study investigated the comparative effectiveness of two staff development delivery systems measured by 1) a cognitive test of a school district's reading program and 2) an affective measure of teacher attitudes toward staff development. The sample was drawn from the teacher population of a large urban school district. The 46 subjects were elementary school teachers in grades K-5 randomly divided into two groups: Group A (videotape with a trained on-site facilitator) and Group B (face-to-face live presenter). Participants in the study received training using "The Fort Worth Reading Program," a staff development program designed by the researcher. In addition to the presentation of content information, which is the central component, the program features small group discussions, off-line activities, and question and answer periods. Both groups received the same treatment with the following exception. A central component to the Group A training was the presentation of content information in a videotape format. Group B did not view the videotape, but received the same information via live presenter. Two instruments developed by the researcher were used in the study: 1) The Teacher Staff Development Questionnaire, a Likert-type survey to obtain teacher attitudes toward staff development, and 2) The Cognitive Test of Reading Knowledge, an instrument designed to measure cognitive objectives of the district's reading program. A multivariate analysis of covariance revealed no statistically significant differences between the groups. It was concluded that elementary classroom teachers, regardless of their attitudes toward staff development, learn content material equally well with either of the two delivery systems explored in this study. Specific suggestions and recommendations for further studies are addressed and discussed. Examples of the measurement instruments are included.
A Content Analysis of School Reading Textbooks in Taiwan and in Texas2014-03-24T20:07:29-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278397/

The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the values, beliefs, and ideas in school reading textbooks (Readers) in Taiwan and in Texas. It intended to examine the social control function of school Readers, with which a culture deliberately molds its young generation. This study employed primarily qualitative methods. The collection of data used the technique of content analysis, student surveys, and teacher expert panel discussions. The analysis of data followed a constant comparative approach. The themes shared by the two sets of Readers included family, friends, humans and living creatures, political ideals, reading/writing, appreciation of nature, science, indomitable spirit, turning danger into safety, setting goals, education, desirable and undesirable qualities or behaviors. Despite the similarities of these themes, the substance or focus of them may vary. The themes unique to the Texas Readers were content knowledge, cultural diversity, dilemma and choice, observations about people, words, tomorrow's technology, winning, and general truth. The themes unique to the Taiwan Readers included life philosophy, learning, necessary difficulties, sensitivity, and military strategies. The theme occurring most frequently in both sets of Readers was the desirable qualities or behaviors. The values advocated in the Taiwan Readers were idealistic and had a society-centered focus (for example, patriotism, appreciation of others, serving others, and honesty). Absolute moral principles were taught. A group orientation and altruism were evident. In contrast, the Texas Readers did not have such an emphasis on the concept of group. Personal feelings, individual accomplishments, and self-centered values (for instance, effort, courage, determination, talent, and independence) received more attention. The values were perceived to be relative to the situation. The Taiwan Readers, produced by a national education system, transmitted traditional Chinese beliefs and values. The Texas Readers, with the publishers' intent to avoid controversies, presented more general or universal values. Although the sources of control were different, they influenced textbook content in a similar way.
The Effect of Problem Solving Software on the Improvement of Critical Thinking Skills2014-03-24T20:07:29-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278432/

The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of advertised reports by computer software companies claiming to improve critical thinking skills.
Teacher Study Groups: A Case Study2014-03-24T20:07:29-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc277909/

The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the operation and impact of teacher study groups at one school site throughout a school year. The study was exploratory in nature. The research questions focused on the major factors in the school's external and internal context that impacted the study groups, the typical behaviors and interactions of the study group participants, and the impact of the study groups on the participants, the curriculum, and instruction.
The Effects of a Strategic Thinking Program on the Cognitive Ability of Seventh Grade Students2014-03-24T20:07:29-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc277719/

This study used a posttest only design to determine the effects of a strategic thinking program on the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT, Form 4) scores of seventh graders who received direct instruction in Strategic Thinking Skills (STS) with the scores of seventh graders who did not receive direct instruction in STS. The study was conducted in a large suburban middle school in north Texas.
The Use of Technology in the Delivery of Instruction in Algebra II in Texas Public Secondary Schools2014-03-24T20:07:29-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278399/

The purpose of this study was to survey Algebra II teachers in the State of Texas to determine the extent to which they use technology for the delivery of instruction. Additionally, the study attempted to determine reasons why teachers do or do not use technology when they have a choice.
Latent Transition Analysis of Pre-service Teachers' Efficacy in Mathematics and Science2011-01-06T06:55:18-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc30425/

This study modeled changes in pre-service teacher efficacy in mathematics and science over the course of the final year of teacher preparation using latent transition analysis (LTA), a longitudinal form of analysis that builds on two modeling traditions (latent class analysis (LCA) and auto-regressive modeling). Data were collected using the STEBI-B, MTEBI-r, and the ABNTMS instruments. The findings suggest that LTA is a viable technique for use in teacher efficacy research. Teacher efficacy is modeled as a construct with two dimensions: personal teaching efficacy (PTE) and outcome expectancy (OE). Findings suggest that the mathematics and science teaching efficacy (PTE) of pre-service teachers is a multi-class phenomena. The analyses revealed a four-class model of PTE at the beginning and end of the final year of teacher training. Results indicate that when pre-service teachers transition between classes, they tend to move from a lower efficacy class into a higher efficacy class. In addition, the findings suggest that time-varying variables (attitudes and beliefs) and time-invariant variables (previous coursework, previous experiences, and teacher perceptions) are statistically significant predictors of efficacy class membership. Further, analyses suggest that the measures used to assess outcome expectancy are not suitable for LCA and LTA procedures.

Warm Bacon Dressing for Spinach Salad
Recipe by Denver cooks
A few years ago there was a restaurant called Victoria Station in Denver. You ate in old trolly cars, where they served the best spinach salad. The warm bacon dressing is what made it. I have searched a long time for this. Here it is...
Top Review by KitchenAndCraftAdve
Thank you for sharing!! This is an EXCELLENT warm bacon dressing recipe (I made it with a few alterations listed below). My hubby requested that we keep this recipe & use it often. Thank you!! My alterations: 1) I used 1.5 tablespoons of the bacon drippings instead of the olive oil 2) Used Red Wine Vinegar instead of the Cider Vinegar since my Cider Vinegar was past it's prime. Would use the Red Wine vinegar again—it added a good depth of flavor. 3) Used organic apple juice that had more apple solids in it than standard apple juice…it's closer to apple cider.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 slice bacon, cooked until crisp & then crumbled
- 78.07 ml red onion (finely chopped)
- 2.46 ml cornstarch
- 59.14 ml apple juice
- 29.58 ml cider vinegar
- 2.46-4.92 ml honey
- 1-2 hard-boiled egg, chopped coarsely
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 14.79 ml olive oil
- 85.04 g fresh Baby Spinach (1/2 6oz. package)
- sliced fresh button mushroom (to taste)
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine spinach and mushrooms in salad bowl.
- Cook onion until translucent, in olive oil.
- Combine cornstarch, apple juice and cider vinegar together until well mixed.
- Add to skillet with onion and heat until boiling.
- While boiling continue to stir until mixture thickens slightly.

Centers of attention: The best big men in the NBA Draft
Throughout the NBA draft process, Enes Kanter has drawn more attention than any other big man, even though few have actually seen him play.
Kanter sat out his only season at Kentucky after the NCAA ruled him ineligible for benefits he received while playing for a club team in his native Turkey.
Small sample size aside, from recent individual workouts and interviews with NBA teams, Kanter has earned rave reviews.
"I really like this kid," NBA scouting director Ryan Blake says.

INTERACTIVE: USA TODAY's final mock draft
"Here's a kid who could've taken a big contract in Europe and chose not to, 'cause he wanted to come over, do the college experience and improve his game."
Beyond Kanter, a mix of college and international players round out the rest of Blake's top-ranked centers.
Here is USA TODAY's Jake Kaplan's guide to the top center prospects in Thursday's NBA draft, based on Blake's rankings and comments:
Enes Kanter
Height: 6-11
Weight: 259
School: Kentucky, freshman
Country: Turkey
2010-11 stats: None (Ruled ineligible by the NCAA)
"A student of the game and a hard worker, he initiates and accepts contact around the basket. He's got a nice shooting touch up to the college three-point line. He's got agility and good lateral footwork, and that's all in a 262-pound frame. His upside, his ceiling, is huge."
Jordan Williams
Height: 6-9
Weight: 247
School: Maryland
Hometown: Torrington, Conn.
2010-11 stats: 16.9 ppg, 11.8 rpg
"He's lost some weight, which is absolutely what he needed to do. He's a rebounding machine. He's a physical, wide body. He's got soft touch and a mid-range game."
Jeremy Tyler
Height: 6-11
Weight: 262
School: None (Played professionally last year in Japan)
Hometown: San Diego
2010-11 stats: 9.9 ppg, 6.4 rpg
"He's big. He can run, and he's got good athletic skills, good hands and nimble footwork. But he's not a polished player right now, and that's the big question mark. He hasn't played against many bigs."
Josh Harrellson
Height: 6-10
Weight: 279
School: Kentucky, senior
Hometown: St. Charles, Mo.
2010-11 stats: 7.6 ppg, 8.7 rpg
"I think people are going to covet his size and his drive because he does have a lot of fundamental skills and a good head on his shoulders. When you have a big like him who is so unselfish, the other go-to players on the team love that."
Giorgi Shermadini
Height: 7-1
Weight: 245
Country: Georgia
2010-11 stats: 6.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg
"He's sort of like (Atlanta Hawks center) Zaza Pachulia. He can face the basket and has a good motor. He's not the greatest athlete but is really skilled."

Yoga Factory Pittsburgh
Though he has studied, practiced, and taught yoga in such far-flung locales as Mexico and Southeast Asia, Zeb Homison counts his childhood living room in western Pennsylvania as the site of his fondest yoga memory. That's where, as a tottering pre-kindergartener, he worked through poses alongside his mother. After studying dance and theater, Homison—now the owner of Yoga Factory Pittsburgh— moved to San Francisco, where he rekindled his relationship with yoga while working at a hot yoga studio.
"When studying yoga, you have to be patient with yourself," says Homison, echoing the philosophy that his staff repeats to encourage students to take their time learning the practice. Together, the team works with patrons, inspiring them through bouts of frustration. "Yoga can be a lifelong process," Homison says, "and you just have to be open to it."

In this episode, Sr. Barriga discovers that he has heart problems and must move to a location with a lower altitude. Senõr Pellosino thus offers to buy the vecindad, or neighborhood, from him. Everybody is against it, except for Doña Cleotilde. Fortunately, Sr. Barriga's diagnosis is changed, and he proceeds to stay without selling to Sr. Pellosino. This character is portrayed for one episode only by Ricardo de Pascual, the same actor who plays Sr. Hurtado.

South African coach Mickey Arthur Monday said he was still apprehensive despite assurances from Sri Lanka's cricket authorities that the tri-series would go ahead with tighter security for the teams.
"They tried to explain how a cricket event or the teams were least likely to be targeted," Arthur told reporters at the team hotel.
"But this was quite close to home and we're pretty worried. It's fair to say that if we hadn't been playing today (yesterday), a lot of our boys might have been over at Liberty Plaza (the shopping arcade near the blast site).
"The mood within the team is tense. The situation seems to be getting worse too, if you watch the news and read the papers. We saw that a truck full of explosives had been stopped just outside of Colombo.
"The final decision though will be made by our security men in consultation with the cricket boards. They're probably the best people to make a judgement."
Sri Lanka Cricket chief executive Duleep Mendis earlier told AFP after a meeting with the respective team officials that the series will go on.
"We will continue to monitor developments but the matches will be played as scheduled," Mendis said. "The security for the teams has been increased."
The blast on Monday afternoon in the same area where the teams' hotels are located targeted Pakistan's ambassador Bashir Wali Mohamed.
The ambassador was driving through the area when the blast occurred, police said, adding that a Sri Lankan military vehicle escorting him was hit by the explosion.
Four commandos guarding the diplomat were killed instantly and the other three victims were bystanders. Eight others were wounded and taken to hospital.
It was the first time in 21 years that a foreigner had been targeted in an attack in Sri Lanka's three-decades-old separatist campaign.
The attack came four days after a powerful car bomb attack on a government Tamil politician in Colombo. The politician escaped but his bodyguard and two bystanders were killed.
Sri Lankan cricket officials went into a huddle soon after the opening match between South Africa and Sri Lanka was washed out due to heavy rain.
The match is scheduled to be played on Tuesday, weather permitting, as a reserve day has been kept aside for all seven matches of the series that runs till August 29.
Indian team official Rajan Nair said the entire team was safe and confined to the cricketers' heavily-guarded hotel.
"There is nothing to worry," Nair told AFP. "The boys were in their rooms when the blast took place and did not even know that something had happened.
"We were due to leave for a practice session but it was cancelled because of the rain."
New Zealand abandoned their cricket tour of Sri Lanka in 1987 after a blast in Colombo's Pettah region, which houses the main bus and train stations, killed 110 civilians and two policemen.
The New Zealanders suffered another shock in 1992 when a blast outside their team hotel in Colombo killed the country's Naval chief Clancy Fernando. They, however, went ahead and played two Test matches and three One-dayers.

'Exotic names' will soon vanish
The Chinese government is moving to ban "exotic" names given to places, buildings and complexes to protect and preserve traditional culture.
In recent years, real estate developers and some local governments have chosen names based on locations and buildings overseas, such as "Manhattan" and "Venice".
decided to ban the use of place names inspired by locations overseas, and have ordered the removal of the imported monikers by the end of June next year.
To curb the growing use of foreign names, Li Liguo, the minister for civil affairs, has ordered governments at all levels to standardize place names and protect long-standing geographical or historical names.

AWE Limited reports that as at 06:00 hours (6.00am NZDT) today, the Pateke-4H development well was preparing to sidetrack a short section of lower wellbore. The mechanical drill string difficulties experienced in the original hole were unable to be fully resolved and the lower part of the hole has been abandoned.
It is now proposed to sidetrack with a 12 ¼ inch drilling assembly from a measured depth of 3,375m, drill into the F10 reservoir at a horizontal angle of approximately 90 degrees, and then set the 9 5/8 inch casing at approximately 4,110m as planned. The well will then be drilled horizontally through the F10 reservoir to a total measured depth of 5,361m.

Republicans senators plan to grill Attorney General Eric HolderEric H. HolderKamala Harris slams Sessions on criminal justice Deputy AG backs Sessions' tough on crime policy Juan Williams: Trump's war on U.S. intelligence MORE on Wednesday about his pledge not to allow the release of dangerous detainees into the United States.
Holder's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee marks the first time senators have had a chance to question Holder publicly since the Department of Justice announced its decision to try five terrorist suspects, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks, in U.S. courts.
The GOP also is worried the move could allow detainees to be released in the U.S. on a technicality.
"[The administration's Gitmo decision] was a result of unrealistic campaign promise," said Sen. Jeff SessionsJeff SessionsBooker wants more scrutiny of Amazon-Whole Foods merger Trump-Mueller tensions escalate 8 things you might have missed in latest Trump interview MORE (R-Ala.), Judiciary's ranking member. "Now that he's in office, [President Barack ObamaBarack ObamaMounting nationwide immigration enforcement costs 20 attorneys general urge DeVos to keep college sexual assault protections RNC slams CNN's Cillizza over Trump-Putin analysis MORE is] staying with that view even though it's an unsound decision."
Holder promised detainees would not be released into the U.S. in a written response to a question posed by Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.). The answer was included in a 55-page document obtained by The Hill in which Holder responded to several senators in advance of Wednesday's hearing.
"Where we have legal detention authority, as the president has stated, we will not release anyone into the United States if doing so would endanger our national security or the American people," Holder wrote. "There are a number of tools at the government's disposal to ensure that no such detainee is released into the United States, all of which are currently being reviewed by the Special Interagency Task Force on Detention Policy ... "
Holder did not respond to any of Sessions's written questions, according to the document obtained by The Hill.
Sessions, a former U.S. attorney whose nomination to a district court was held up in the Senate when he was 38, has been one of the biggest obstacles to moving Obama's judicial nominees through the chamber. On Monday, Sessions made clear that Democrats would have to muster 60 votes to move at least some of those nominees through.
But Sessions said Obama and Holder shouldn't hold anything against him, especially considering that Republicans have a better record in approving Obama's nominees than Democrats did with President George W. Bush's judicial appointments.
On the detainee issue, Republicans want to know how the administration can claim that the trials in civilian courts are a true test of the country's judicial process if detainees will be held regardless of the trials' outcome.
Holder repeatedly dodged that question in a Friday briefing with reporters following the Justice announcement. Instead, Holder expressed confidence that the prosecutions would be successful.
"I've looked at the evidence. I've considered the problems that these cases present. And I am quite confident that we're going to be successful in the prosecution efforts," he told reporters.
"If I was concerned about the forum not leading to a positive result or if I had a concern — a different concern, you know — we would perhaps be in a different place," he continued. "But the reality is — and I want to be as assuring as I can — that based on all of my experience and based on all of the recommendations and the great work and the research that has been done, that I am quite confident that the outcomes in these cases will be successful ones."
Separately, House Republicans are launching efforts to prevent the trials in civilian courts. Intelligence Committee ranking member Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) told The Hill he will file a discharge petition to force a vote on legislation sponsored by House GOP Leader John BoehnerJohn BoehnerSudan sanctions spur intense lobbying OPINION | GOP's 7-year ObamaCare blood oath ends in failure A simple fix to encourage bipartisanship in the House MORE (Ohio) that is intended to block efforts to transfer detainees to the U.S.
The House would have to vote on the legislation if the discharge petition is signed by a majority of members.
Rep. Louie GohmertLouie GohmertSteve King compares military pay for gender transition to Ottoman's castrating slaves House passes 6.5B defense policy bill Budget process drags as GOP struggles for consensus MORE (R-Texas) is also drafting legislation to require that suspected terrorists held at the Guantánamo detention center in Cuba be prosecuted in a military commission.
Sen. Orrin HatchOrrin HatchSenate panel advances Trump's tax policy nominee Healthcare debacle raises pressure for GOP on taxes GOP frets over stalled agenda MORE (R-Utah) said he plans to focus most of his questions in Wednesday's hearing on the transfer of detainees to civilian courts.
"I like Eric Holder personally," Hatch said, "but this is unjustified and just opens up all kinds of problems for our military and our courts."
In a brief interview Tuesday, Kyl said he plans to ask Holder exactly what government tools the Justice Department has to prevent terrorist suspects from being released in the United States if they are found not guilty or if the trial is thrown out for procedural problems.
"That's what we want to know — we want him to enumerate them," Kyl said.
Kyl argues that U.S. civilian courts are not appropriate venues to handle international terrorism trials. During the trial of Omar Abdel Rahman, al Qaeda obtained valuable information about U.S. intelligence sources and methods, thereby making the job of fighting terrorists tougher, he said.
Sen. John McCainJohn McCainTrump called McCain to wish him well after cancer diagnosis Rand Paul opens door to backing healthcare bill on key hurdle McCain: Trump playing into Putin's hands by canceling Syrian rebel program MORE (R-Ariz.), who was directly involved in writing military commission legislation to deal with the trials of terrorism suspects, also wants to know how the administration plans to hold detainees if they are found guilty or if their cases are thrown out.
"I'd be curious to know exactly what tools they are talking about," he remarked.
McCain predicted that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's trial will become a "long, drawn-out" spectacle, which will be "far worse than a show trial."
After Holder's Friday announcement, Feinstein was notably absent from the flurry of Senate reaction.
When asked directly what she thought about Mohammed being transferred to New York for trial, Feinstein said she thought the city was "well-equipped to handle the trial of known terrorists."
