Jean Baptiste Rodrigue was born to Jean Charles Rodrigue (1764-1802) and Pelagie Helfer (1770-1845) in 1788 in St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana.
Facts and Events
Birth, St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana, 1788
As certified in a certificate of Baptism issued by St. John the Baptist Church in Edgard, Louisiana, Jean Baptiste Rodrigue "was born in St. John the Baptist Parish on the 3 day of October 1788." [5]
Evidence of Parentage
The parents of Jean Baptiste Rodrigue were Jean Charles Rodrigue and Pelagie Helfer, as evidenced below in the Certificate of Baptism, Certificate of Death and in Glen Conrad's Saint-Jean-Baptiste des Allemands.
Certificate of Baptism, 1788
A Certificate of Baptism obtained from St. John the Baptist Church in Edgard, Louisiana, which references Vol I, page 108B, certifies that Jean Bte. Rodriguez, child of Jean Charles Rodriguez and Pelagie Elfer, was born in St. John the Baptist Parish on the 3 day of October 1788. NOTE: The name Rodrigue has also been spelled as Rodriguez or Rodrigues.
Saint-Jean-Baptiste des Allemands, Glen Conrad
Jean-Baptiste is referenced as the son of Jean-Charles Rodrigue and Pelagie Helfer in at least two instances of Conrad's documentation, as follows:
Inventory of the community property of the late Jean-Charles Rodrigue and his wife, Pelagie Elfer, 1803
No. 23. 4-28-03. Jean-Charles Rodrigue died a few months before this date and Andry now orders an inventory and appraisal of the community property in order that there might be a settlement between Pelagie Elfer and her children, namely: Jean-Baptiste (12), Firmain (10), Geneau (8), Edouard (6), Norbert (4), Celeste, wife of Louis Picou, Emerante (11), and Delfine (1). Inventory and appraisal made by Andre Tregre and Antoine Vicner in the presence of the widow; Louis Picou; Pierre and Francois Rodrigue, brothers of Jean-Charles; Jean-Louis Laurent and Louis de Grandmont. First item appraised is a farm 3 arpents wide bounded above by the farm of George Schof and below by that of Pierre Rodrigue. Debts owed by the succession to: the estate of Jean-Baptiste Rodrigue, and Baptiste Grima (of New Orleans).[1] [2]

text: So 2 examples, the first one is really a chart that shows that the 2 lines are pretty much the same. One is based on generation, the other is based on installed capacity. But just to show the transmission -- I'm sorry, the transition in terms of how many megawatts or how many megawatt hours with a single operator in our fleet responsible for generating in 2005 where the number is about 10-megawatt hour by employee. There's probably a factor of 1,000 there. It's probably somewhere around 10,000-megawatt hours, but just forget it for now. So 10,000-megawatt hours per employee to move into around 20,000-megawatt hours per employee, if I haven't skipped in order of magnitude. And with employees or people being our single most expensive cost in operating plants, this has been a very dramatic change.The other area which shows what we can do today when we have the scale and also the expertise is what we have done on oil field maintenance. As Dita mentioned, we currently own about 9 rigs. They're used across the fleet for different activities, but among the 9 rigs, we have 4 rigs that are used for oil field maintenance, Whether it's pump replacement or for the repair of existing wells. And back in 2005 or 2006, all of this work was contracted, all of this work was third-party work. And as of 2011, all of this work is done in-house. Why is it important? First, there's an element of price. As the oil field, oil and gas business was booming, prices went up, although just because the supply and demand, not because the work became more complicated and we were paying a lot more money for the same service in 2009. And this is one element, which sometimes you can address with your suppliers. It doesn't have to be like this, but this is one element. But probably, a more important element is the fact that there are not too many geothermal rigs, and they tend to be -- their owners tend to try and keep them busy. And so when the well fails or if the well requires work, somewhere in one of our operating facilities, often, we had to wait for a rig to become available somewhere and be moved by road for 1,500 miles or more than that. And this is all money that is lost. And so, when you do the analysis, actually, owning equipment and keeping it idle in many cases made more sense than waiting for 3 or 4 or 5 weeks for a vendor to come in and do the job. So many, many examples, but this is how we have leveraged both scale and technology to drive our cost of operation down.

"Stuntman" is a video game released for the Gameboy Advance console in 2003 by Atari. It is a driving game based on an earlier Playstation 2 game. In the United States, the game received a rating of "E" by the ESRB panel which deemed it suitable for all ages.
Stuntman is a mission based driving venture which requires the player to follow the guidance of a director. The player's character is a movie stuntman and must perform certain acts which are intended to be placed in feature length motion pictures. The game is spread over 21 unique missions which feature the character making simple jumps to driving through explosion-laden twists. Generally speaking, the game is very simple to complete due to the very large prompts which will pop up on the display and inform the player as to where what task should be executed. The controls are also simple with "A" accelerating, "B" breaking, "R" making use of the vehicle's hand brake for quick turns and "L" using an environmental action such as detonating an explosive object.
The graphics are presented from a trailing view of the player's vehicle. Each course is unique in its design and features fully three dimensional images. I did note some pixelated areas on the driving tracks themselves, and is especially obvious in dirt road scenes, but the game is otherwise excellent in its visual department. Most scenes are accented heavily by buildings, pedestrians, trees and shrubbery which solidifies the game's premise as being a part of a film. The soundtrack is not quite as good and is limited to typical engine screeches and noise coming from the player's vehicles.
Overall, Stuntman is a unique and original concept which I would recommend to prospective buyers. I found it to be an enjoyable play and is something which I still regularly enjoy to date.

Canadians Spend More on Beer than Other Alcohol Beverages
By volume, per capita purchases of beer were highest in Newfoundland and lowest in British Columbia.
When it comes to spending bucks on alcohol beverages, beer wins hands down in Canada, according to Statistics Canada. Beer is the most popular beverage in terms of dollar value, capturing 50.7 percent of sales compared with 24.7 percent for spirits and 24.6 percent for wine.
In a report on sales for the fiscal year ending March 31 last year, the agency says beer and liquor stores and agencies sold more than $16.1 billion worth of the beverages, up 4.9 percent from the prior year, according to a report in the Canadian Press. But that rate of growth was slower than the six percent increase the previous fiscal year.
And although Canadian products still dominated, imported beer gained ground, capturing 11 percent of the market, up from 3 percent a decade ago.
In terms of wine purchases, red wine was by far the preferred choice, capturing 49 percent of the volume of sales, white 36 percent and "unidentified wine" 15 percent.
On average, Canadians bought 86.3 liters of beer, 13.3 liters of wine and 7.6 liters of spirits during the year, with total per capita purchases of alcoholic beverages amounting to $623.60, according to Statistics Canada.
"Consumers in Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador led the pack, purchasing just over 115 litres of alcoholic beverages per capita. In contrast, those in Saskatchewan purchased only 94.4 litres, lowest of all."
By volume, per capita purchases of beer were highest in Newfoundland, Labrador and Quebec, and lowest in British Columbia. Newfoundlanders also bought the highest per capita volumes in spirits, while Quebecers led the way with purchases of wine.
"Among spirits, rum was still most popular in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Whisky was the preferred choice for consumers from Ontario to British Columbia," according to Statistics Canada

"Hi @justinbieber! My name is Maria, I'm 9 and I'm a fan from Brazil. Watch out: it's 'we're here' not 'we here.'"
That delightful tweet was sent to the teen singer from a schoolgirl as part of an innovative spelling and grammar program at a school called Red Balloon in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for children studying the English language.
The campaign, led by team head Andrea Baena, encourages the children — some of whom are only eight and nine years old — to engage with celebrities and correct their spelling or grammar mistakes.
The aim is to show the kids in a literal way that good use of English grammar counts in all kinds of communication, be it letter writing, social media, texts, or any other format, is important.
In Red Balloon's program, the children find their favorite celebrities on Twitter and look for spelling or grammar issues.
Interestingly, many of the stars the children contacted could have been chosen by American kids, such is the reach of film, music, sport and television.
Bieber, Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Pink, Shaquille O'Neal, Katy Perry, Jamie Oliver and Sylvester Stallone, are some of the offenders who were contacted.
After the children find the famous errors, they read the tweets to their classmates and explain what the mistake is. They then tweet the correct spelling or grammar rule to the stars from a designated school-hosted Twitter account. The children were told to be polite in their messages.
In a video (seen above) Baena said social media was influential because of "how fast it is," but also said it often passes on bad examples to children who need to learn proper, written English.
"We have celebrities that are not really worried about the language," she notes. "Concerning education, it's really bad, because when [children] see their idols speaking like that they come to us and say 'but this is right, he's American, he's using it.'"
Going by some of Bieber's tweets and other celebrities, it's very possible they may not know the correct grammar or spelling to use in some cases. But, I'm also not sure if the campaign knows — and I could be wrong here — that a lot of celebrities use hip vernacular that deliberately leaves out key words and generally messes with the English language.
In one of his most recent tweets sent to his old "swagger coach" Ryan Good, Bieber asked:
Bbq next few days then #OmahaMall time. @thatrygood where u at?!?
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) July 4, 2013
It's highly likely the 19-year-old knows that the correct spelling and phrase is: "Where are you?" But because of 140 character limitations and a consciously breezy style, Bieber uses a shortened sentence.
But in a way that's not Red Balloon's point. The campaign is designed to open, stimulate, and improve children's awareness and understanding of spelling and grammar in fun, imaginative, and topical ways — and it does that.
And the great thing is, Bieber, Cyrus, and the other stars tweeted probably won't be irritated by the corrections because they come from children. Or would they?
How would you react if someone pointed out the bad spelling or grammar in your tweet, would you appreciate it or not?
Check out some of the very sweet tweets the children sent below and add your voice in comments.

Warsaw (Jul. 31)
The tragic situation of the Jewish victims of the disastrous flood which recently inundated Poland was particularly emphasized today by a survey conducted by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Provisional figures show that as a result of the flood over 2,000 Jewish families are utterly without any means of support and more than 3,000 Jewish families are without shelter or adequate clothing.
The majority of those who lost their homes and all their possessions are living in synagogues, huddled together under dreadfully unsanitary conditions, while many are still camping out under the open sky.
Especially tragic is the position of the flood victims in the region around Jaslo and also at Nowysancz, Mielec and Limanow.
In many places the water is poisoned and victims find it impossible to secure water for drinking purposes.
The Jewish communities at Sandomierz and Stuczyn asked the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to broadcast the news that hundreds of Jewish families are without bread at Sandomier, while eighty Jewish families are in similar straits at Stuckzyn.
At Grzybow a Gentile woman named Paszkowa, owner of a local brewery, adopted fifty-two Jewish children from Nowysancz and is feeding them.
In many villages the poor peasants are showing the greatest kindness to the thousands of Jewish victims, housing them and sharing their meager rations with them.

J.Crew Hints At Lower Prices, Follows Up With "LOL JK"
Do you guys remember when J.Crew was, well, not exactly affordable, but, like, normal people could shop there? I spend a ridiculous amount of time reminiscing about the days when I could save up a few extra bucks from my freshman work study job and pop into J.Crew for a nicely made cardigan. Sigh. But wait! Is a more accessible J.Crew poised to make a comeback? Based on a statement from CEO Mickey Drexler, it seemed possible: "For spring, you'll see our prices much more friendly this year," he said during a speech at Parsons this week. Exciting, right?
Unfortunately, a J.Crew spokesperson swooped in to release the following party-pooping statement right after Drexler's words hit the internet:
"We are not lowering our prices. We are simply maintaining a balance of pricing across the board and better communicating to our customers what we have and why it is worth the price it is. Emphasis for us is always on the quality and design at best possible price."
While I totally agree with the importance of high quality and am more than willing to pay more for a well-made garment, my personal experience with J.Crew hasn't matched up with their grand claims. I've seen their prices rise astronomically (dresses from $300 to $500 are now pretty standard), while the quality (and "Made in China" labels) have stayed pretty much the same. What do you guys think? Do their current price points seem about right to you? Too high? Too low? [Racked]

I've already come and gone from a different piracy thread, and I know this thread is quite old, but I wanted to address this specific idea.
I disagree with the conclusion that Rowling (or any author) should do anything of the sort just because piracy is inevitable. If people are going to pirate the product any way, make them do the work, don't help them. The author should decide for themselves based on what is in their personal long term self interest and their own principles whether or not to authorize the release an ebook format.
I personally regret that she opposes the ebook format (for whatever reason), but I certainly understand an author's reluctance to give any kind of sanction, to include making it easier for pirates steal, just because the theft is inevitable. This is like telling the robbery victim to carry a knife with them to give to the robber in case they get robbed. And while your at it, display your money on the outside of your clothing to so it will be easier to for the robber to steal.
Piracy may be inevitable, but it is still taking that which is unearned without the rightful owner's permission. I applaud authors who do not give an inch to such animals. I think too few people understand the importance of this principle in a time people think that there is some good being served by not being 'judgemental'. The easier and more 'acceptable' it becomes to steal, the more it will happen.

A host of overzealous fans of Christopher Nolan's Batman film post curses, sexist slams and death threats against some reviewers who wrote negative opinion on the highly anticipated movie.
"The Dark Knight Rises" fans won't get a chance to see the highly anticipated movie until Friday, July 20, but some of them have already united to slam the critics who gave negative early reviews on the Batman film. Plenty of die-hard fans of the Christopher Nolan-directed superhero flick have angrily blasted some reviewers with curses, sexist insults and death threats since they were unhappy with what those critics have written about the film.
Among those who were slammed by the overzealous fanboys was Christy Lemire of The Associated Press. As highlighted by NJ.com, Lemire merely gave "Dark Knight Rises" two stars, noting that the film felt like a "letdown" from an "exceptional, visionary" director like Nolan. The review caused her to receive 495 angry comments, including the one that said, "I hope you die."
On the other hand, Star's reviewer Marshall Fine compared Nolan's third Batman movie to a bad "Transformers" sequel. The negative review soon pulled more than 852 explicit comments from outraged fans. Fine also received tons of slams from fans on his own website that it has to be shut down briefly.
Warner Bros. Pictures actually doesn't allow the media to publish their reviews on "The Dark Knight Rises" until Wednesday, July 18. However, the embargo didn't stop some critics from posting their thoughts about the Caped Crusader film early.
Following the outpouring slams from fans, Rotten Tomatoes, the review-aggregator, was forced to warn fans to stop posting murderous threats against those critics. The site is also forced to remove some links to the reviewers to prevent them from receiving more harsh comments.

BRA, for short.
As the original story of the fatal encounter between Brown and Officer Darren Wilson continues to look more and more like a piece of Swiss cheese (showcasing the utter nefarious nature of the media, the vast majority of blacks who sided with Brown by immediately judging his skin color, the Obama Administration, and the Department of Justice), a more hilarious development has arisen to bring much needed levity to the farce in Ferguson.
It was reported two members of the New Black Panther Party - Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis - tried to purchase .45 ACP guns under "false pretenses." It turns out our intrepid NBBP friends also tried to buy ingredients for making a bomb.
The FBI arrested these two would-be DuoBombers and the story quietly went away.
Until today.
Now, before we get to the hilarious part of this story, let's remind the reader of two pertinent facts:
- As of 2009, 60 percent of blacks were on EBT/Food Stamps in the city of St. Louis
- As of 2009, 10 percent of whites were on EBT/Food Stamps in the city of St. Louis
- As of 2009, 38 percent of blacks were on EBT/Food Stamps in St. Louis County
- As of 2009, 4 percent of whites were on EBT/Food Stamps in St. Louis County
And now, comes the story which celebrates the sheer horror of modern America, yet hilariously shows how this situation could immediately be rectified. [Alleged plot included bombing Arch, killing St. Louis County prosecutor, Ferguson chief, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 11-27-14]:
Two men indicted last week on federal weapons charges allegedly had plans to bomb the Gateway Arch — and to kill St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch and Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson — the Post-Dispatch has learned.
Sources close to the investigation were uncertain whether the men had the capability to carry out the plans, although the two allegedly did buy what they thought was a pipe bomb in an undercover law enforcement sting.
The men wanted to acquire two more bombs, the sources said, but could not afford to do it until one suspect's girlfriend's Electronic Benefit Transfer card was replenished.
An indictment, with no mention of bombs or killings, was returned in federal court here Nov. 19 and unsealed Friday upon the arrest of Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Ali Davis. Their addresses and Baldwin's age were not available; Davis is 22.
The arrest came three days before McCulloch revealed that a grand jury would not indict Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson in the controversial killing of Michael Brown. The announcement triggered looting and multiple arsons in Ferguson.
Ah, the all-powerful EBT card! A simple device allowing blacks access to a world their abilities and intelligence deprives them from... accessing. It's the great equalizer, for without the EBT/Food Stamp card, one wonders how 60 percent of blacks in St. Louis and 38 percent of blacks in St. Louis County would eat?The charges say that between Nov. 1 and Nov. 13, at the Cabela's store in Hazelwood, Baldwin claimed to be buying two Hi-Point .45-caliber pistols for himself when they were really for another person. Brandon also is known as Brandon Muhammad, according to court documents, and Davis now goes by the last name Ali, his attorney said. Each faces a charge of aiding and abetting the making of a false written statement made in connection with a firearms purchase.
Or those would-be black revolutionaries acquire the necessary components to make more bombs:
The men wanted to acquire two more bombs, the sources said, but could not afford to do it until one suspect's girlfriend's Electronic Benefit Transfer card was replenished.Today, Darren Wilson is enjoying a Thanksgiving meal with his new bride and family; while the Michael Brown continues to battle one another over who has the right to peddle poorly made "Justice for Michael Brown" or "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" merchandise.
Odds are, the Michael Brown family is eating Thanksgiving courtesy of the EBT card as well, just as the bulk of those chanting "No Justice, No Peace" in Ferguson and other parts of the St. Louis metropolitan area owe their holiday meal to...
"You Say You Want a Revolution... well, you know, your EBT Card has got to work."
Those desiring an end to BRA need only push for one, simple move: turn off the EBT card for a day.

Paving the Path to the Future of Watches
Click each picture to enlarge.
Citizen, featured in two issues of Women's Wear Daily this week, talks about Baselworld, Milan Design Week and a very exciting upcoming brand campaign. Citizen introduces a new generation of speed with their Satellite Wave F100 and a brand new collection, Citizen L, and the launch of the Sunrise model.
Citizen continued to shine at this year's Baselworld, the world's largest watch and jewelry trade show held In Basel, Switzerland. Despite the amazing reaction from the 2013 booth, Citizen was able to top that this year with over 50,000 watch movements glittering from above to present their "Compressed Time" story line. Following the 2014 Baselworld in March, Citizen presented yet another astounding presentation of time at Milan Design Week in April 2014. This was Citizen's first appearance at the show and walked away with two awards, "Best Entertaining" and "Best Sound". Now leading into Fall 2014, Citizen will be launching their new campaign, "BETTER STARTS NOW", featuring a business strategy all about taking this industry-leading company to the next level. They will not only be launching a new Satellite Wave watch, the F100, but also jumping more into the women's market. The new Citizen L collection will feature stunning, stylish and elegant watches for the ladies. The main model for this collection will be the Sunrise, with brilliant sparkling diamonds, a flower bud crown and mother-of-pearl dial, all inspired by the "morning dew".
Citizen discusses all this and more in not one but two issues of WWD on Tuesday, May 20th and Wednesday, May 21st issues.

Triggers To Reinforcement
The first newsletter in my new series Focus for Work was sent out today. For those of you that are working on the homework assignment I am using the blog as a place for your to comment.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the series and your assignments.
For those of you not on the newsletter, I have asked everyone to write down anytime their dog receives reinforcement from any source for a 24 hours period and write down the two events that preceded this reinforcement. The idea is to track what a dog does to prompt or Trigger Reinforcement in his everyday life.
Today I am grateful for John and John (B & H) putting up a big brand new white board WALL in my office . . . it is the little things in life:).

I'm not sure if this the right place to put this question, but I have thought so much about what I am inadvertently reinforcing ever since I read this newsletter. I think some things are coming together in my mind as a beginning trainer. Here goes:
I just took Finn, my papillon, out and thought, I'm going to walk with him and not use the gentle leader, because he doesn't like it and why not just be patient enough to teach him without it?
We went out to a quiet street. We haven't been out for walks there for a long time because it's so hot we are inside all the time. He was instantly overwhelmed with the sensory input – even though it was just smells and quiet sounds – very rare movement of people, animals, or cars. At first I tried to get him to walk by my side without pulling, but he was beside himself. So it struck me to become completely Zen. I don't have to go to work, I have all day, and why not just start from the very beginning. It's like he got a brand new owner at that moment.
So I just stood there and waited for him to look at me. And I spent the next 30-45 minutes doing that. I did not make it stressful. I just sat next to him on the quiet street, and relaxed and watched his eyes and body and mind working as he responded to it all. I waited and waited for him to look at me, and when he did, I clicked and treated. There weren't many looks, so not many clicks and treats, but neither of us worried about it. That is, he didn't worry about it – I was thinking and teaching myself not to worry, and I relaxed into it.
After a while I needed to start home, but I wanted to avoid the pulling, so every time he pulled against the collar, I stood still and didn't say anything, and waited for him to look at me. Again, he would stand there forever and just stare forward and pull, but I didn't move. When he looked, I clicked and treated and we moved a few steps as long as he was heeling next to me. I didn't expect him to watch me like in a formal heel, I just wanted him to walk nicely in that position. Sometimes he just sat down and looked forward, completely relaxed, looking around. It took a very, very long time to get back the few yards home!
My big question the whole time was, "Am I teaching him what I want to be teaching him? What am I really shaping?" I was trying to get him to be cued in to me and realize that we were only going to go forward if he walked next to my leg without pulling. But when I stood still and let him pull against the collar for a long time until he looked at me, and when I just let him sit there until he looked at me, was I reinforcing something else?

I have been working through "Triggers To Reinforcement" which is going to be quite a learning curve for me. I really see how important the right triggers are to get the action I want from my dog. Right now the biggest challenge is to get her to focus on me during training.Distractions take the forefront indicating I am not a high value. I am determined to become that and have the dog love that scenario. I am now retired and finally have the time to work with my dog. I have a 2 yr. old 45lb. female lab, who is high energy and wants to know "What's Next!" Your messages and videos are full of info. Thank you so much

Hi Susan, I just signed up for the newsletter "On Being a Good Student". In browsing through your web site I read something about the Focus on Work series which talks about how to establish triggers. My 3 yr old Papillon loves to train and work agility, but I always reward with either a treat or tennis ball which he is thrilled to receive. After reading the article I realize this enthusiasm could slow down. How do I go about training triggers to transfer some of his enthusiasm to me?

Hi Susan! I just started to read your letters, I love them.
I have 3 border colies
Samba 4 years old, very focused on me and allways ready to work and play with me, I reinforced that when she was a puppy, she allways brought me toys to play with me. I used to have toys every where in the house. She is always at my sid and she is not interesting in playing with the other dogs in the house if I'm not participating.
Acqua 2 years old, she grow up with other 3 dogs, samba, and 2 more dogs, she most of the time where playing and spending time specialy with one dog, she is focused on me when we do agility, the rest of the day she is not by my side, when we do agility she does many laps around me like she was herding me, sorry my english is not good, do you undertand what I mean? She does specially when I got lost doing some excersice or she makes a mistake, how can I correct that behavior? Because I call herd and give a reward, tug or a cokie.
Astro 10 months he is focused on me but no like Samba, and he is growing up like acqua, playing too much with other dogs. That is incorrect? What can I do, I work all day and my dogs are with a person who take care of the house, to have the focus that I have from Samba? I love the way she is 🙂 thanks

I am just catching up on reading my emails and I read the first installment. Amazing! My BC definitely "deflects punishment" when we're working on shaping. He's 7 and we started clicker training almost two years ago and I had a hard time getting him to offer behaviors so I think I probably developed a tendency to "help" him, cue him with body language, etc. and he quickly learned how to initiate that. Thank you Susan! You (again) gave me something very helpful to work on.

AZ: McCain booed for saying the President respects the Constitution
Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
It must be Arizona's week in the spotlight for wingers, crazies, and fundies. Poor failed presidential candidate Sen. John McCain had the gall to suggest to heat-packing Arizonans that President Obama doesn't want to torch the Constitution (not like, say, George W. Bush, who already set it ablaze).
And these clips are fun. On the left, McCain is asked why Republicans never reformed health care when they were in power; on the right McCain's not happy being grilled about health reform that does not fit his script.

The Protection of State Information Bill could render the arms deal commission toothless, sabotaging attempts to unearth the truth behind the R70 billion arms contracts.
In gazetted calls for written submissions, commissioners assured anonymity of those who would provide "confidential, classified or secret" material, saying such persons could elect to use fake initials to protect their identities.
The final report to be submitted to President Jacob Zuma would have the same initials used in all records, transcripts or the hearing and any reports of the commission.
But should the government decide to go ahead and pass the Protection of State Information Bill on May 17 – commissioners will face a difficult task of gathering information that could lift a veil on the controversial arms contracts. They could themselves face jail should they obtain classified information and conceal identities of those who divulged such information.
According to the bill, which has unsettled even Public Protector Thuli Madonsela, a person who "unlawfully communicate(s), deliver(s) or make(s) available State information classified top secret", knowing that such information would "directly or indirectly prejudice the state", could be sentenced to up to 15 years in jail.
And anyone who "harbours or conceals a person" who has contravened provisions of the bill faces a sentence of five to 10 years.
Commission spokesman William Baloyi said on Thursday he was not at liberty to discuss a bill that had not been passed, adding that when such a time arrived, the commission's "legal advisers would look at it".
Also revealed in the 11-page gazette signed by commission chair Judge Willie Seriti, which was published on Wednesday, was how the commission would operate in terms of information regulation.
"The commission may, by order or notice, restrict or prohibit the publishing or broadcast of any of its proceedings if the commission has reason to believe that the order or notice is necessary for the effective and efficient fulfilment of the commission's terms of reference and would make available to the commission evidence that would otherwise not be available," said commissioners.
It is the president's discretion to make public contents of the report once commissioners report to him in September next year.
With a budget of R40 million, the commission is expected to start sifting through documents to be submitted to it by July 30, then resume hearings from November. This will leave commissioners with only 10 months to listen to the oral submissions and submit a report.
Chaired by Judge Seriti, Zuma announced the commission in September last year, averting a possible embarrassing episode in which the Constitutional Court could have forced his government to establish the commission following arms deal crusader Terry Crawford-Browne's long-standing battle to get him to investigate the contracts.
Commissioners set to work with Judge Seriti are Judge Francis Legodi and Judge Hendrick Thekiso Musi.
Procurement for the venue for the hearings has not yet been finalised and Justice spokesman Tlali Tlali would not indicate why the department is seeking a venue around Pretoria when the minister had indicated the venue would be in Joburg.

Fans set the tone, and rules, for annual Harlem Globetrotters game
When the iconic Harlem Globetrotters kick off their "Fans Rule" Tour in Pittsburgh, a game held here annually on the day after Christmas, the fans, indeed, can dictate some of the game's dynamics, says guard Dizzy Grant, known for his comical impersonations of other basketball players.
Fans at the Dec. 26 game at Consol Energy Center will vote on quirky new rules to be used in the game. Prior to the game, fans can vote on Facebook and other social media and select a new game rule.
Fans can pick the Hot Hand Jersey rule, where a player wearing a special jersey gets double points when he scores; or Make or Miss, where the quarter starts with two players on each team. When someone scores, another player joins the team, and when they miss, a teammate must leave the court; or even Trick Shot Challenge, where teams challenge each other to make trick shots — the team that makes the shot gets five points; if the players miss, the other team gets five points.
"We give fans an opportunity to vote on different rules in the game to add excitement to the game," says Grant, 31.
When he isn't trotting around the globe, Grant lives in Fishers, Ind. "It's just a new thing we've done this year to give our fans another opportunity to" enjoy the Globetrotter experience.
Globetrotters each have nicknames, and Grant — in his eighth season with the team — got his "Dizzy" name from his teammates, who said they felt dizzy after guarding him, because his dribbling and other movements had them going in circles.
Grant, who graduated from the College of New Jersey in 2005, dreamed of playing professional basketball. During a tryout to play overseas, Grant met a Globetrotter talent scout and found a better fit than the NBA would have been, he says. Grant gets to combine his comedian streak and engaging personality with athletics.
"That's what makes (Globetrotters) so special," he says. "We're great basketball players, but we have the ability to entertain. We look for guys who can play basketball at a high level and guys who have that outgoing personality it takes to be a Harlem Globetrotter."
Part of the Globetrotters' off-court role is acting as "Ambassadors of Goodwill" by participating in community-service projects. About a week ahead of time, a Globetrotter visits the city where the team will play. They do things like the "Smile Patrol" with patients in hospitals, and the "ABCs of Bullying Prevention" in schools, which promotes the virtues of action, bravery and compassion, Grant says.
The North American Tour kicks off Dec. 26 in Pittsburgh and lasts through April. Then, players will go overseas to places like Europe, Australia, China and New Zealand.
"Come on out and have a great way to celebrate the holidays with the Harlem Globetrotters," Grant says.

This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 489,970, filed Mar. 7, 1990 and now abandoned.
The invention relates to a method for joining paper layers and to an apparatus for performing the method.
Methods for joining or connecting paper layers have been known for decades and form an essential part of bookbinding. With the arrival of high-performance printing plants able to produce up to 100,000 printed products per hour, innovations were necessary with regards to the joining of the paper layers.
For the mass building of paper layers, such as occur in printing works, adhesive binding, thread stitching and wire stitching or stapling in particular have proved very satisfactory.
Adhesive binding is preferably used for binding books, catalogs and journals. Often various adhesion processes are combined with one another. For example, a low viscosity, high-wetting coating is first applied, followed by adhesion-improving coatings. This makes it possible to significantly improve the binding quality compared with simpler processes.
In glue-based adhesion, the glue application width is generally 4 mm. It is possible by gluing to bind approximately 15,000 copies per hour and in the production line a considerable area must be provided for glue drying. An important disadvantage of the process is the drying time which has to be given to the bonded product.
In summarizing, adhesive binding can be looked upon as a successful method for binding books, catalogs and journals. However, due to the necessary long drying time, with a few exceptions, this method is less suitable for the binding of booklets in a scale or flake stream or flow of separate paper layers of a printed product processing machine.
A further, proven method for the joining of paper layers is thread stitching, but it has been placed in the background by adhesive binding. Only because of a considerable increase in the stitching capacity has this method again acquired significance. Thread stitching has a number of advantages and disadvantages compared with adhesive binding. Whereas the adhesive binding quality is largely dependent on the paper type, thread stitching is largely independent of the paper quality.
Because it is a relatively slow method, thread stitching can be looked upon as suitable for high quality binding books. However, the greatest significance in connection with the stitching or stapling of printed matter in brochure or booklet form has been attached to wire stitching or stapling. Rotary wire stitchers have a high capacity, but are relatively expensive. A stitched copy can have up to 100 pages. In rotary wire stitching, the wire clip or staple is forced through the spread out paper stack against an abutment and without a locking mechanism.
Single wire stitches have a lower hourly capacity than rotary wire stitches and are also relatively expensive. However, the product can have over 300 pages. Single wire stitchers have a stitching abutment with a locking mechanism.
An advantage of wire stitching is that it allows one to completely open the bound booklet. Also, there are no closed folded edges which might cover part of the printed information. However, a disadvantage of wire stitching is the material application through the staples in the back, which limits the stackability of products. Moreover, additional costs result from the choice, storage and processing of the appropriate wire material. There are also limits on the reliability of wire stitching, particularly in the case of thick paper layers with more than 200 pages.
Thus, there is interest in a method which can be integrated into the printed product processing operation of a high-performance printing press, i.e., which has an efficiency comparable to that of the wire stitching process, but without suffering from its disadvantages, such as, e.g., the use of metal. When seeking such a method, particular attention was paid to ensuring that the individual paper sheets do not separately have to undergo complicated preparation, such as e.g., the application of glue strips and also ensuring that there was no need for buffer or intermediate storage times due to long drying periods.
Therefore, an object of the invention is to provide a method for joining paper layers, while avoiding the disadvantages of the known paper stitching or binding methods. This object is achieved in that the paper layers to be joined are joined under ultrasonic action.
It is not obvious to ultrasonically weld together paper layers. Ultrasonic welding is admittedly known as a method for joining metals and plastics. According to known welding methods, the welding material is heated under ultrasonic action due to its internal friction in the contact region in such a way that there is a melting of the material to be joined and therefore a weld is obtained. Reference is made in this connection to the publication "Ultraschall fur das Kunststoff-Fugen" by R. Altena, W. R. Behnke, L. Horvath, H. J. Rheinhardt and W. Ruhland, published by Branson Schallkraft GmbH, Industrie-strasse 48, D-6056 Huesenstamm, Germany.
Initially it did not appear appropriate to use ultrasonics for joining organic fibrous materials, such as paper, cardboard, wood or woven and non-woven fabrics, because such materials generally decompose under ultrasonic heat action and can even catch fire in the presence of oxygen. In particular, they cannot be brought into a liquid phase such as is necessary for welding.
However, our research has established that only a very thin coating is required to ensure an adequate adhesion between the paper layers. This coating can, e.g., be a printing ink which is applied during the printing process, or a thin, rapidly drying plastic film. Optionally a suitable binder can be incorporated during paper manufacture. The simultaneous action of heat, pressure and a vibratory movement lead to adequate adhesion of the paper layers, even when there is only a very small binder quantity.
Although the joining of paper layers by bonding is known, said process requires the application of an adhesive to the product to be adhered immediately prior to bonding. However, this requires an additional operation in which the paper sheets are individually provided with an adhesive and it must also be ensured that there is no premature contact between the paper sheets prepared for joining. However, the proposed ultrasonic process makes it possible to pretreat the paper simultaneously with the actual printing for subsequent joining purposes, i.e., the pretreatment process can be integrated into the printing process and in particular the further processing of the printed product, such as cutting, putting in order of the individual sheets and folding of the paper layers are not impeded or made more difficult by the joining pretreatment. It is particularly advantageous that the paper layers can be joined in a manner similar to wire or thread stitching.

FIG. 14 is an apparatus for binding sheet material, the apparatus being part of a printing press.
FIG. 1 shows in exemplified manner the construction of an ultrasonic apparatus which can be used for welding plastics. The control means 10 comprises a source of power 11, an amplifier 12, a high frequency transformer 13 and a tunable positive feedback means 14 which is connected by the positive feedback line 15 to the input of amplifier 12 and to the primary of transformer 13. A frequency-determining element of the ultrasonic generator 20 is connected to the high frequency transformer. This circuit ensures that the ultrasonic generator 20 can be operated in acoustic resonance, which is necessary for a good transmission of the oscillation energy from the source to the working point. By tuning the positive feedback means 14, the phase position of the high frequency oscillator can be optimized.
FIG. 2 shows the basic construction of the ultrasonic generator 20. It generally comprises an ultrasonic transducer 21 and the oscillating tool or so-called sonotrode 24. The ultrasonic transducer 21 comprises a stack of parallel-connected piezoceramic plates 22. A sound amplitude transformer or booster 23 is optionally interposed between the ultrasonic transducer and the sonotrode. This passive element 23 leads to an increase or decrease in the oscillation amplitude. The sonotrode, which is the actual connecting or joining tool, ensures at its tip 25 the transmission of the ultrasonic power to the welding material 26 to be joined. An abutment 27 absorbs the contact pressure exerted by the sonotrode end on the material 26. The abutment 27 must be constructed in such a way that it absorbs a minimum amount of the ultrasonic power applied, i.e., it must have a very high mechanical inertia and must be very undeformable as compared with the welding material 26.
The system comprising ultrasonic transducers 21, booster 23 and sonotrode 24 is operated in acoustic resonance. A longitudinal oscillation is excited in most applications. Ultrasonic welding apparatuses generally operate at a frequency of 20 to 40 kHz. Typically the longitudinal oscillation amplitude at tip 25 of sonotrode 24 is approximately 100 μm at 20 kHz and approximately 50 μm at 40 kHz.
The apparatus, comprising the control means 10 and the ultrasonic generator 20, is generally operated by means of a control system in such a way that the mechanical amplitude at the sonotrode end 25, independently of the damping by the welding material 26, has a constant, predetermined value. In the case of more advantageous ultrasonic welding plants, in addition to the ultrasonic power, it is possible to predetermine the contact pressure exerted by the sonotrode end 25 on the welding material 26 as well as the ultrasonic action time.
The choice of the booster 23 and the shaping of the sonotrode 24 are a function of the nature of the welding material 26 and the weld to be carried out. Examples of the most standard sonotrode shapes and forms are described in the aforementioned work "Ultraschall fur das Kunststoff-Fugen" by R. Altena et al.
FIGS. 3 to 5 show three examples of sonotrode shapes which are particularly appropriate for the uses discussed hereinafter. Thus, FIG. 3 shows a sonotrode 24 having a conical surface 31 ending in a tip 32, which is suitable for obtaining punctiform or spot welds.
FIG. 4 illustrates a sonotrode 24 with a flat sonotrode end 41 and a knife edge-like welding edge 42. This embodiment of sonotrode is particularly suitable for producing a long, narrow weld.
FIG. 5 shows a combination of the two embodiments of FIGS. 3 and 4. The flat sonotrode end 41 is knife edge-like, like 42 in FIG. 4. However, in order to increase the local contact pressure between sonotrode 24 and abutment 27, the welding edge 42 is provided with notches 53. Thus, weld points can be produced simultaneously in a long and narrow weld seam.
Using the apparatuses as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, it is not possible to join layers of dry, unprinted paper. Corresponding tests only revealed a darkening or blackening, which can be attributed to the ultrasonically caused thermal action. A further step would be to permit the matting together of the individual paper fibers during the ultrasonic movement, particularly when the latter was directed transversely to the paper surface. Such matting was slightly detected in the case of a longitudinal movement.
Much better results can be obtained by slightly moistening the paper layers. In this case the paper structure is slightly damaged and a paper-making stock forms locally, such as occurs in paper manufacture. Much as in the paper manufacturing process, the subsequent ultrasonically-caused heating and pressing led to a matting and gluing of the paper fibers. This in itself permits limited adhesion of the paper layers.
However, even better results can be obtained if the paper is provided with a meltable coating, a very thin film being sufficient. Even when separating two paper layers, whereof one is printed using standard printing ink, while the other is unprinted, there is a partial transfer of the printing ink to the unprinted page after ultrasonic action. This means that the adhesion of the printing ink to the unprinted page is just as good as the adhesion during the original application. Strong printing, e.g., dark brown shades on glazed paper, such as are locally present in illustrated magazines, leads to very good adhesion under ultrasonic action.
In order to ensure a reliable connection, it is recommended that the paper be pretreated. Different possibilities exist in this connection.
FIG. 6 shows a sheet of paper pretreated for ultrasonic welding. In the fold region 62 of paper sheet 61 is defined a laterally bounded strip 63 which is provided with a film of printing ink or a plastic having a melting point at a higher temperature than the ink. Such strips 63 can e.g., be applied additionally or alternatively in region 64 of sheet 61, where subsequently inserted pages, entry or order forms, or art prints are to be inserted. The strip regions 63, 64 can either be applied to paper 61 during the printing process, e.g., by multiple coating by printing inks, especially using a printing dye containing a large amount of binder, or in an additional processing step.
Another pretreatment possibility for the subsequent ultrasonic welding of the paper 61 consists of a not sharply defined application of a colorless binder, e.g., a very thin plastic film. Such a pretreatment requires no change to the printing process, e.g., by using a special printing dye. The pretreatment can be brought about by spraying the printed page in the binding region. The material application, which generally occurs in the fold region in any case, would hardly have a prejudicial effect due to the minimum material application.
A further paper treatment consists of the paper sheet being pretreated over its whole surface for ultrasonic welding either during the manufacturing process or during or after the printing process. For example, additionally a desired glazed effect, moisture protection, or the like could be achieved by a pretreatment during or immediately after paper manufacture, or before or during the printing process.
As a further pretreatment procedure, binder or water could be injected into the fold region 63 of the already stacked paper layers. The paper layers can be pre-perforated and simultaneously or subsequently provided with binder or water by means of hollow or tubular needles. It is also possible to shoot liquid droplets into the paper layers as described in copending patent application Ser. No. 492,532 filed Mar. 7, 1990 and entitled "Process for the Adhesive Binding of Paper Layers".
Another possibility is for the abutment to be a chamfered abutment device 27' on which the paper layers are placed in the scale flow of the printing press, as shown in FIG. 8. In this case the abutment can be rod or wrist-like.
FIG. 9 schematically shows a simplified sequence in a printing plant with an integrated ultrasonic welding apparatus for paper layers. The paper comes from the paper loading device 90 to the printing mechanism 91, which can comprise several printing stages. The printed matter is then cut longitudinally and is optionally supplied to a cutting mechanism 92. The printed matter then e.g., passes to the welding pretreatment means 94, where binder is pressed or sprayed on. The printing material is subsequently bundled and conveyed on further. Optionally a welding pretreatment by shooting in binder can take place on the bundled paper layers. The printed matter then passes into the ultrasonic welding apparatus 95, where the paper layers are joined. The bundled products e.g., as a scale flow 93, are then received by the removal means 96.
FIG. 10 shows a schematic representation of essential steps of a binding process performed in a continuous stream. Layers of sheet material 100 are conveyed along a first path 101. Approximately at a location identified by numeral 102 this first path 101 reaches a second path 103 which defines a curved or substantially helical path along which the sheet material 100 is conveyed. At a location identified approximately by numeral 104, the second path reaches a third path 105 through which the bound material leaves the place where the binding process is performed, that is the second path 103. A fourth path 106, which is preferably a closed path, is arranged adjacent to the second path 103 and extends at least partially parallel to said second path 103. A portion in which paths 103 and 106 are parallel may start e.g., at a place 107 and end at a place 108. This fourth path 106 in fact is used for guiding a plurality of binding means 109, 110, and 111, of which only three examples are shown but which are distributed over the whole length of path 106. They are especially designed to move at the same speed as the sheet material in the second path 103. In fact, the sheet material and the binding means must be synchronized within portion 107,108 of the paths.
Because of the helical shape of the second path 103, the sheet material arriving in first path 101 at a speed v1 and a direction represented by arrow 113 will be redirected into a direction essentially as shown by arrow 112 and will also travel at a speed v2 in this direction. If sheet material is also fed in along a further path 114 and merges into path 103, an assembling process can be combined with the binding process. Therefore, the sheet material 115 arriving in path 114 simply has to be synchronized to the material 116 in the second path 103 and taken over by second path 103 at a location 117. Such synchronizing is accomplished with drive means not shown here but constructed according to state of the art. Since the binding process, which will be performed by the kind of ultrasonic welding already described takes some time to be performed, this condition will be met in said portion 107,108 of the second path 103. A pretreatment means 118 may be provided in the form of a nozzle spraying binder or other substances over the sheet material.
FIG. 11 shows in more detail a corresponding apparatus for assembling and binding sheet material as already described with respect to FIG. 10. This apparatus is designed for collecting e.g., three streams of sheet material through inlets 121, 122 and 123. The inlets are designed for leading the sheet material into compartments 125 of a drum-shaped body 124, whose construction is basically known in the art. As a reminder, compartments 125 are separated by walls 126 attached to a cylindrical base member 127 which is also designed to rotate in a direction indicated by an arrow u about an axis 128. Each compartment 125 has means for displacing sheet material 129 sideways and parallel to axis 128 during rotation of body 124. In an already known process, sheet material 129 may be displaced sideways so as to match sheet material 130 and sheet materials 129 and 130 together may again be displaced to match sheet material 131. In this manner, sheet material 129, 130 and 131 will be assembled.
In a further step, assembled sheet material 131 may again be displaced sideways so as to get under an arrangement of ultrasonic welding heads 132, which is fixedly attached to body 124 and therefore rotates with it. A last sideways move in the same direction, that is to the left hand side of FIG. 11, will put the assembled and bound material under outputting device 133 which will output the material in a direction as indicated by arrow w. It is to be noted that each step which moves the sheet material sideways in the body 124 will be performed during one revolution of the body 124 but will not necessarily need all the time needed for one such revolution. The same is true for the step of binding the sheet material.
FIG. 12 shows in more detail the arrangement of ultrasonic welding heads 132 and the body 124 as well as assembled sheet material 129, 130, and 131, as already known from FIG. 11. Individual welding heads are indicated by numerals 134, 135, 136, and 137 but are arranged over the whole circumference.
FIG. 13 shows a different arrangement including a first path 140 for the sheet material and an opener 142 for opening folded sheet material. Therefore, sheet material 141 is infed and opened prior to being discharged into an also already known drum 143 which defines a second curved path 144 for the sheet material to be bound. A fourth path 145 defining an area for the operation of welding heads 146 is arranged adjacent to second path 144. More specifically, it can be seen that welding heads 146 are arranged on a wheel 147 whose rotating movement is synchronized to the movement of the drum 143 by known means. In this manner ultrasonic welding can take place in a continuous process.
FIG. 14 shows another embodiment of the invention where the binding process is performed on a stream 150 of sheet material, where the sheets are not separated. The stream 150 may comprise several layers of material to be bound in the binding device 151. This binding device 151 comprises a rotating support means 152 which may be a chain 154 driven by chain-wheels 153 and supporting a plurality of welding heads 155. On the other side of the stream 150 and symmetrically arranged is an abutment means 156 with a plurality of abutment elements 157 attached to a rotation support means 158 which may essentially corresponding to rotating support means 152. Both rotating support means 152 and 158 are synchronized by well-known, and therefore not shown, means to stream 150, in order to establish a fixed relationship with respect to phase and velocity. In this manner each welding head 155 will have its corresponding abutment element 157 pressing the stream against it during the time of welding. The welding takes place at locations which are defined on the stream and the synchronization is performed in such a manner that these locations are matched by the welding heads 155 and pressing elements 157. This kind of synchronization is already known in printing processes and therefore is not especially shown here. After passing the binding device 151 the stream 150 is treated in a well known manner and separated into single sheets or products composed of the bound sheets. This processing is performed in an apparatus 159 which comprises a cutting device 160 and a folding device 161. Both are parts of a printing press and therefore the binding device 151 is also integrated into such printing press when designed as represented in this FIG. 14.
A further aspect of the invention can be seen in FIG. 14 where the cutting device 160 is equipped with a number of ultrasonic welding heads 162. These welding heads 162 can perform their duty during a time needed for the products 163 to travel from the cutting cylinder 164 to the folding device 161. The welding heads 162 are arranged in a manner so as to be displaceable in a direction parallel to the axis 165 of the cylinder 166 while rotating with the cylinder 166. Such sideways moves are initiated e.g., in a well known manner by means of grooves arranged in cylinder 166 and cooperating with a member sliding in it. Such means are sliding the welding heads into operating position situated in an area 167 and a non-operating portion situated in an area 168.

Description: Never underestimate Madonna's power of persuasion: By nearly all critical accounts, Ray of Light, Madonna's first album of new material since 1994's Bedtime Stories, and her first since motherhood, is her richest, most accomplished record yet. While Ray of Light is being tagged as Madonna's big leap into electronica, it's important to note two things: First, her music has always had close ties to dance culture, and, second, her collaborator William Orbit is no Chemical Brother. Though it has all the latest blips, bleeps, and crackles electronica has to offer, Ray of Light is still largely an adult album, completely within Madon ... (more)
