Michael Fortunato, a 26-year-old New Jersey man who was featured in the popular MTV show "Catfish," died in Connecticut over the weekend.
Fortunato, who was in the episode "Ashley & Mike" during the show's second season, died of pulmonary embolism due to deep vein thrombosis, according to the office of the chief medical examiner.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Michael Fortunato," MTV said in a statement posted on the network's website. "Our condolences, thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time."
Fortunato's sister, Gena, told MTV that her brother had left his place of employment in Connecticut to drive himself to a hospital on Saturday but swerved and struck a fence.
Paramedics transported him to the hospital, and the family received a call hours later about Michael's death.
Ashley Sawyer, who was also featured in the MTV episode, told MTV that she and Michael were "very much in love" and that he'd had sent her a text on Saturday saying he was thinking about going to the hospital but changed his mind.
The couple had been planning to spend New Year's Eve together in Ashley's hometown of Atlanta, according to MTV.

Focus on Enforcement
- From:
- Department for Business, Innovation & Skills and The Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable
- Part of:
- Business regulation
- Published:
- 23 March 2012
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
Government wants your views on how enforcement can be improved or done differently.
Vince Cable has today launched the Focus on Enforcement campaign.
It asks business to tell Government where enforcement can be improved, reduced or done differently. It aims to discover and celebrate where enforcement works well, so others can learn from it.
Government will then pick up the best ideas for change, and look swiftly at how it can improve the experience of regulatory enforcement in those business areas.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said:
"This Government has an absolute commitment to clearing away the barriers that act as a brake on growth for British SMEs. That is why, for example, we are not just reviewing whether there is still a case for each regulation, but now we are going to tackle how regulations are actually enforced as well. That commitment to lighten the load lies at the heart of our strategy for achieving economic transformation and recovery.
"The Government knows that ill thought-out regulations cost businesses time and money - which is why it devised the Red Tape Challenge. But sometimes the regulations are fine, it is inconsistent, inappropriate or overlapping enforcement that is the problem.
"Focus on Enforcement gives all businesses, but especially smaller and medium sized firms that often feel the disproportionate weight of inspection and compliance, the chance to make a real difference to the way regulators visit, inspect and advise business and enforce the law."
Improving enforcement
The Budget announced the first three reviews, covering:
- chemicals
- small businesses in food manufacturing
- volunteer events.
You can say what experiences you've had, good and bad, how regulatory enforcement operates in these sectors, and how it could be improved.
The Government also wants your ideas for future reviews - suggest areas of enforcement you would like to scrutinise in a future review.
In return the Government will:
- use your feedback to help choose the next topics reviewed
- provide at-a-glance information on national and local regulators
- report back on what was found and what action will be taken as a result.

Kinetic Zero is the second full length album from the French black metal horde Otargos and, well, this is from far their best recording... and also their most personnal and original one. As a long time fan of their music I find it very unfair that their recordings are so unknown among the international BM scene, and it's all the more annoying that most of the people that have listened to it really enjoyed it. But let's start the review!
"Kinetic Zero" is a very good album which explorates new topics and new musical paths in black metal: the band, which started as a classic satanic brutal black metal band in the vein of Setherial and old Dark Funeral, has become way more mature and evolved into a cold, yet brutal, quantum physics influenced entity. Indeed, the lyrics no longer deal with satanism but rather with topics such as multidimensionnal chaos, Schroedinger's theories, or the human delusionnal conception of reality and matter... leading to very original and strange lyrics. It also appears that the band's music has also been influenced by those concepts as Otargos now displays a very brutal and fast-paced black metal, with high screams and majestic riffs, but blended with new elements like weird ambiant tracks or colder atmospheres with hypnotic and spiral-like structures. There are many breaks and interesting riffs and the song-writing is excellent and the whole album makes me think of a mixture of Setherial's "Hell eternal" and The Amenta's "Occasus". In short, it is obvious that this album has been recorded as a single entity rather than a compilation of songs, almost like a concept-album: samples and natural transitions between the songs have been added and the whole album is very homogenic, though each track is independant. As for the production, it is rather good and brutal, even if the drums' sound may seem a little annoying to some from time to time.
To cut a long story short, you should definitely listen to Otargos' music, especially if you're looking for brutal, unsane, yet original black metal!

|Wahl SUPER TAPER Professional Clipper # 8400
Cut Hair Wet or Dry, Powerful and Versatile, Variable Taper and Texture.
MODEL 8400 INCLUDES: Professional Clipper; 3 Cutting Guides (1/16"-3/16"); Styling Comb; Oil; Cleaning Brush; operating Instructions; Red Blade Guard (Guarantees Professional Quality)
DIRECTION FOR OPERATING: Your Wahl electric clipper will give youears of satisfactory service if you will put a few drops of oil on the blades before and after each haircut.
1. Put a small drop of Wahl Clipper Oil between the blades after each use. Oil should be applied while he clipper is running. After cutting wet hair, clean the blades and apply a small drop of Wahl Clipper Oil. use WahlClipper Oil ONLY. Apply the oil after each use.
2. Blades must be realigned if they have been removed for cleaning or replacement.
3. Streaks and missing hair are caused by a gummy sticky surface on the blades, so keep your clipper clean and the blades well oiled.
4. Clattering when turning the clipper on or off may occur on some clippers. It is of no consequence. The same is true if your clipper heats up after 20-25 minutes of use.
5. Make sure cord is not twisted or kinked while unit is charging or being stored.
6. To clean the unit, use either a clean, dry or dampened cloth. DO NOT USE benzene or thinner to clean the unit.
ON THE WAHL CLIPPER: Sketch shows how the bottom blade holes are larger than the shanks of the blade screws. When the blade screws are loosened the bottom balde can be aligned with the top blade. Keep the screws tight after the blade is aligned.
1. End of top blade teeth should be 1/32" to 1/16" .79mm to 1.59mm back from bottom balde. This is important so that the clipper doesnt cut too close or allow the moving cutter to touch the skin.
2. Extreme left hand tooth of top blade must be covering or be to the left of the first small tooth of bottom blade.
3. Extreme right hand tooth of top blade must be touching the big tooth on the bottom blade.
ON CLIPPERS USING "ADJUSTO-LOCK" BLADES: To remove the blades loosen only center screw. leave the two outside scres tight as they hold bushings in place to keep alignment of blades. Keep screws tight when in operation.
CORD: If you clipper has a polarized plug: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the or other). This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. In the event the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, recerse the plug. In the event it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
TAPER LEVER: Some clippers are equipped with an adjustable taper lever that changes the closemess of your cut. When the lever is in the uppermost postion, the blades will give the closest cut. Pushing the lever downward gradually increases the cutting length.
POWER SCREW: (Not found on all lipper models.) To adjust power, turn power screw in clockwise direction until clipper madkes a noise caused by the armature hitting the coil. Then, slowly turn power screw out (counter-clock-wise) just until noise stops. This is maximum power.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
1.An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance is not suitable for use by people (including children) with p

Looking for advice on Harbeth monitor rebuild (long)
Hi all:
This is my first post to this forum I was hoping to tap the collective wisdom of the group to help me plan the next steps for a recent project I have undertaken. I am rebuilding a pair of Harbeth HL MKII monitors monitors that are about 30 years old and in need of some TLC. The custom Harbeth 8 woofers were cleaned, professionally serviced, and now sound quite nice. After much research and a phone call to Madisound, the original Audax HD12x9 D25 tweeters were replaced with Audax TW025A0s, using a custom machined rectangular faceplate so that the new tweeters would be correctly integrated to the existing speaker woodwork.
Here is my dilemma: While the TW025A0 is not bad and a reasonable replacement, among other differences, the fs is about 300 Hz higher than the original HD12x9 D25 (1090 Hz and 800 Hz respectively). Given the low-ish 2 kHz crossover point of the speaker, I thought it might be worthwhile to consider other HF drivers that might integrate better. Also, I feel that I would appreciate a tweeter that was a bit more sonically refined.
As I see it, here are my alternatives:
1. Find someone who can refurbish the HD12x9 D25 tweeters. I have not seen anyone who is doing this, but maybe someone knows of a place that offers this service? The originals are not completely dead, but the output and frequency response of the pair are diminished.
2. Find a high quality tweeter with similar Impedance (8 Ohms), sensitivity (89 dB@1W, 1m), and fs (800 +/- 120 Hz) as HD12x9 D25 and use that. It would also need to have a removable faceplate so that I can machine a new faceplate to fit the original routing. The Morel CAT298 (or possibly the CAT308 or 408) comes to mind, but I am open to suggestions.
3. Replace the tweeter and design a new crossover to better integrate it with the woofer. The problem here is that I dont have any specifications for the custom Harbeth woofer. Maybe someone has the T/S parameters or knows of a service that I can send woofer to get parameters. I have considered purchasing one of the plethora of programs available to do this, but I am not sure it makes much sense to go that route for a one-off project. Although, if that is my best option, I will certainly consider it.
4. Replace all drivers and crossover and just use the cabinets as an open canvas.
5. Do nothing.
So, any suggestions as to what my next step should be? I am not interested so much in restoring the speakers to their original shape and I am in making them sound and work the best they can (without investing an inordinate amount, of course.) The existing crossover uses no electrolytics, and the high frequency end contains a tapped autoformer with one-decibel steps so that the HF unit level can be adjusted. I have not exploited this functionality, but maybe the existing crossover offers enough flexibility to warrant continued use?
Anyway, I look forward to any and all suggestions and thanks for reading.

I've had a pair of these speakers for 30 years. They are pretty well retired from use now. Might have a spare pair of original tweeters for you. BUT, I'm not sure where they might be, or if they've been thrown out. They may be in storage at my brother's house, where I will be visiting around Thanksgiving. They may or may not be any better than what you now have.
As for getting T/S parameters of the drivers, well, have you written Alan Shaw? He most likely will just tell you the speakers are too old to be any good, and just try to sell you a new pair of speakers. I used to write to him about replacement parts for the HLII's, and that was his standard answer.
The problem with changing tweeters is the crossover would likely need some adjustment, and that might well be near impossible. The old Harbeth's were made with thin wall cabinets (and I think they still are) and incorporated this into the crossover design.
Of course you could just use the replacement tweeter and just live with it.
Just curious, do you have a pair of Made in England HLII's or a pair that were made in Seattle for a short time in 1979/80 by Eakin Audio?
These were the real cats meow in 1980.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply. Very good point about the cabinet design and its incorporation into the crossover. Yes, they still use a similar design in their current speakers. So I guess that pretty much eliminates any ideas I had about updating the crossover or getting full integration of a new tweeter. That said, do you have any thoughts about replacing the tweeter with one that best matches the fs and sensitivity of the original vs. going the more common route of using the modern Audax TW025A0?
As for contacting Alan Shaw, I have tried once sometime ago with no reply. I peruse the Harbeth forum from time to time, and while he is usually quite good at responding to questions about new models, he's told owners of older Harbeth models that the specifications of legacy Harbeth speakers are no longer available. I found this exceedingly hard to believe, so I searched for cached Harbeth.co.uk pages and did manage to find an old press release as well as a page with some specs for the original HLs. Clearly, there is no effort being made to support the old product lines, which would really bother me if I owned a new pair of mega-$ Harbeths.
The speakers I have say "Assembled in the USA" on them. I always found that a bit puzzling, but less so now that you have pointed out that some MkIIs were made in Seattle. Any significance to having the speakers made in the US?
If you don't mind, since you own these, what are your overall opinions? Personally, I keep them around because I like how natural they sound in the mids. Maybe you've found something better in this respect? Also, they work well with solid state amps, probably due in part to the use of an auto-former on the high frequency side of the crossover.
Thanks for the input! If you happen to find the tweeters, PM me.

Whitney Houston secretly purchased cocaine few days before death
February 19, 2012 - London
Whitney Houston had allegedly bought three-and-a-half grams of cocaine two days before she died, by pretending her drug supplier was an autograph hunter.
The drug dealer, David Joseph, concealed the 190 pound stash in a pen and acted like an excited fan looking for a signature, as Houston partied at Tru Hollywood nightclub in Los Angeles days before she was found dead in her bathtub on February 11.
According to Joseph, Houston returned his piece of paper complete with signature, with the cash he was due hidden underneath.
She kept the pen so she could feed an addiction that saw her spend up to 1,500 pounds a week on the drug.
"We just kind of played it off, you know like 'Oh I'm a big fan'. She'd then say, 'Thanks for listening. Thanks for being a fan'," the Daily Star quoted Joseph as saying in an interview.
"We didn't have an in-depth conversation or anything. She knew what I was there for.
"She was a little f**king wasted. But it's one o'clock, f**king club, they've got f**king free bottles and sh*t, they were drinking all night," he said.
The drug ruse worked, said Joseph, because they had done it before.
"Both times it was an eight ball [an eighth of an ounce of cocaine] and both times it was 300 dollars," he said.
"There were a lot of people around and stuff like that so I did my autograph move.
"I just asked her for her autograph and I got a pen ready, it's full of coke.
"I hand it to her, (she) signs it, she keeps the pen, she gives me the autograph and the money's in there underneath it. It works out pretty good," he added.e revealed that over the "last couple of weeks...four or five grand" of cocaine had been ordered by Houston.
"Total? Maybe half a million, or something," he said.

Watch Out: Brandon LaFell and Tom Brady Are Getting In Sync
FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots made a lot of big-name additions to their roster this offseason, but a big-bodied offensive addition has started making waves at practice.
It wasn't an immediately smooth transition for wide receiver Brandon LaFell, but the former Carolina Panthers receiver has been showing up all over the field during joint practices with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was targeted a total of eight times in team drills (7-on-7 and 11-on-11) and came down with five receptions.
He and quarterback Tom Brady did not hit it off immediately during minicamp and OTAs, but the two seem to have hit stride, particularly over the past two days.
"It's been getting better day-by-day," he said after practice on Wednesday. "It was rocky this offseason, because I was the new guy here, and I didn't know too much. I didn't know where he wanted me to be, but you know, the more reps I get with him, and the more times he throws me the ball, day-by-day we just continue to get better. I think we're on a good path right now."
The feeling is mutual.
"I've really enjoyed playing with him," said Brady. "He adds a lot. He's got a real love for the game, he does a great job out there getting open. He just keeps making more plays. That's been really fun for a quarterback to see guys out there really working hard to make the improvements and then really do it. Hopefully it continues to carry over. It's been a lot of fun to be with him."
Last week during practices with the Washington Redskins, Brady referenced LaFell's size and said it's been nice to have a bigger-bodied receiver out there with all the "pygmies" like Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola, both of whom are 5-foot-10.
The big-bodied receiver role is not a new one for the 6-foot-2 LaFell, who has become accustomed to being the big guy over his career.
"I've always been the bigger-bodied receiver," he said. "In Carolina, they had Smitty [Steve Smith] and Ted [Ginn Jr.] and there was me, and I was the bigger guy out there. It's nothing new to me. It's just always how it be. I know those guys, they've worked with Tom the last couple of years, they got a lot of chemistry … and he trusts those guys. So I know those guys are going to get the ball, but I know that in the red zone, you kind of need that bigger body and I'm hoping I can be that guy."
LaFell finished third on the Panthers last season in red zone targets (nine) and red zone catches (five), and tied for second-most on the team with four red zone touchdown receptions.
Of course, in the Patriots' offense, it's never as much about the physical tools as it is about the football intelligence and an understanding of the offense.
In that sense, LaFell admitted to having some early trouble switching from the Panthers' numbers-based offense to the Patriots' system, which is heavy on verbiage. He has hit some snags along the way, but he is beginning to feel like he understands the offense and can now start playing faster.
That being said, there are still some struggles for the newly-minted Patriots wide out.
"There was a certain play call here — a certain formation we got called here, it was a play call in Carolina," said LaFell, "so I get to the line and I come out the huddle and I go, 'Aw, hell, that's not the play, that's the formation.' So something like that, but I'm getting used to it now."
Free agent receivers like Joey Galloway and Chad Johnson/Ochocinco have fizzled out in New England, but one of the problems has been their inability to get a firm grasp of the offense and get on the same page with Brady.
LaFell appeared headed for a similar fate in the early stages of the offseason workout program, but the forecast is looking better now. If things continue trending in this direction, LaFell could find himself to be an integral part of the Patriots' offense, in the red zone or otherwise.

Wales v Ireland, Six Nations, Millennium Stadium, March 12
Rees demands Wales shape up
ESPNscrum Staff
March 3, 2011
Captain Matthew Rees insists enough is enough when it comes to Wales' penalty woes © Getty Images
Matthew Rees believes that Wales are their own worst enemy at the moment and the skipper has demanded an end to their costly indiscipline.
Back-to-back victories over Scotland and Italy have revived Wales' Six Nations challenge following an opening weekend loss at home to Grand Slam-chasing England, but Rees believes his side have to tighten up their game against Ireland on Saturday week if they want to keep their Championship challenge alive.
They have conceded 40 penalties and free-kicks during the tournament - two more than any other team - and also had three players sin-binned, which is only one less than the other five countries put together. Rees accepts it is an issue, with the need for better discipline currently a key topic for debate within the Wales squad.
"The biggest thing for us at the moment is discipline," he admitted. "It has been an issue, especially during the last two games. We are keeping teams in the game, where we should be blowing them away. Poor discipline has killed us. It's heat-of-the-moment stuff, and we've spoken about it this week. It is costing us, and it has got to stop.
"We are getting into good field positions and then giving teams easy 'outs' by conceding a penalty. It is taking our field position away and means we cannot turn pressure into points. We have given some cheap penalties away, and the better teams in the world are going to punish you. We've had to address that. It is frustrating for us, because our biggest challenge at the moment is ourselves.
"Whoever starts at 10 for Ireland against us next week, they are great kickers. Three points here and three points there, you can't afford it, especially at Test match level."
The Millennium Stadium clash will Ireland see Warren Gatland clock up his 36th Test in charge, breaking Alan Davies' record for a Wales coach, while centre Jonathan Davies is likely to be available again following a hamstring injury. Davies missed the Italy match, which meant James Hook being moved from fly-half into midfield alongside Jamie Roberts, but the No.10 shirt will beckon again for Hook if Davies is declared fit.
Gatland could also be tempted to recall teenage wing George North - a star of this season's autumn Tests - who continues his comeback from shoulder trouble when the Scarlets tackle Magners League rivals Leinster in Dublin on Friday night. Right-wing incumbent Morgan Stoddart though, has performed well in all three Six Nations Tests so far, while Leigh Halfpenny has regained full fitness and was an unused replacement in Rome.
"We've won two games on the road. They haven't been the prettiest of wins, but we will take them, and we know there is a lot more to come from us," Rees said. "It is important that against Ireland and France we deliver performances that are virtually error-free and our discipline is spot-on.
"Ireland have got class players right through their team. [Brian] O'Driscoll is a great leader, and they are going to be a tough challenge. But we are in a good frame of mind. We've had two tough games away from home, and we are second in the table. It's up to us now.
"There are a lot of players in the squad playing good rugby. I don't think we've come under any pressure, really, in the three games we've played. It has been down to our errors. If you look back to the England game, it was an error in defence when [Toby] Flood went through and [Chris] Ashton scored between the sticks, and they scored their second try when we were down to 14 men. We know Ireland will be a big threat, and it is important we make sure we cut down on errors and improve our discipline. We've been putting ourselves under a lot of pressure."

RESTORATION; Preservation and Ecology Clash in Windmill Repair
By JOHN RATHER
Published: March 25, 2007
THE millwrights who built and repaired the 19th-century windmills of eastern Long Island favored white oak for its hardness and durability, sometimes finding what they needed on Gardiners Island.
Now the Town of Southampton has gone far afield for what it thinks is a better wood, a tropical rain forest hardwood called ipe (pronounced E-pay) so dense and durable it resists nails and withstands time and weather the way oak never could.
A stack of ipe lumber imported from Suriname, a South American republic where some of the last intact rain forests are found, waits in a town warehouse for use in a $354,900 project to restore the wind shaft, sails and fantail of the Beebe windmill in Bridgehampton.
The restoration will last much longer than if oak were used, but some environmentalists say it might come at a cost.
The windmill, built in 1820 and owned by the town, was last restored in 1984. Winter storms in 2003 and 2004 sheared off the four paddle-like sails and left only the nub of the rotting wind shaft protruding from the windmill's revolving cap.
Robert J. Hefner of Amagansett, a historical preservation consultant who drew up the current restoration plans, said ipe with flashing would mean work otherwise good for 20 to 25 years could last four times as long. ''You would be using four large white oaks versus one large ipe,'' he said. ''And knowing what we know, it would be irresponsible not to use it.''
But Tim Keating, the executive director of Rainforest Relief, a group in Brooklyn that tries to protect rain forests, said importing ipe was a misstep. He suggested that the town use black locust or recycled plastic for the project.
''Ipe may sound like a good idea because it lasts longer and cuts maintenance costs, but three or four generations from now people are going to be wondering, 'What were you thinking?' '' Mr. Keating said. ''We should not put cost saving above the destruction of the world.''
Mr. Hefner said black locust of the size needed -- 24 by 24 inches square and 20 feet long -- would be ''next to impossible'' to find. He said recycled plastic was not strong enough.
Darron A. Collins, a managing director of the World Wildlife Fund, a conservation group, said: ''You can harvest ipe well or not so well. The quality of the wood is just unbeatable, and it's super long-lasting. You literally can't hammer a nail through it. White oak can't compare.''
But Dr. Collins said the Forest Stewardship Council, which sets standards for well-managed forests, certified no companies in Suriname.
The Beebe windmill, erected in Sag Harbor and moved a time or two before ending up in the yard of an Ocean Road mansion in Bridgehampton, is one of 11 still standing on the East End. It is the last one built and the first with cast-iron machinery that kept its sails always into the wind.
The surviving windmills went up between 1795 and 1820 and recall the century-long period when millers ground wheat into flour when winds blew. Four are in Southampton, five in East Hampton and one each on Shelter Island and Gardiners Island -- together the largest windmill assemblage in the country. All are maintained, but none are working.
The Beebe windmill is the centerpiece of a small town park. Allyn F. Jackson, the Southampton superintendent of parks and recreation, said the town hoped work on the windmill would begin in April and conclude by fall.
''It's our windmill, so we should take care of it,'' he said. ''We'll get it back as close to operational as we can, but we are not repairing it, we are restoring it.''
Mr. Hefner said making the new wind shaft would require precision. ''If a mistake is made with this timber, it's a problem,'' he said.
Richard W. Baxter, a carpenter from Amagansett who previously restored and rebuilt three East Hampton windmills, is the town's choice to make the parts. Mr. Baxter said he used white oak in those projects but did not expect making parts from ipe would be unduly difficult.
''It's just another windmill,'' he said.

Wageworkers have an entire r:ghi

in organizations. They have a legai
right which, according to circum
stances, may or may not be a moral
right, to refuse to work in company
with men who decline to join their or?
ganizations. They have under no cir?
cumstances the right to commit vio?
lence upon those, whether capitalists
or wageworkers, who refuse to support
their organizations or who side with
those with whom they are at odds, for
mob rule i? intolerable in any form.
The wageworkers are peculiarly enti?
tled to the protection and the encour?
agement of the law. Wherever the na?

should be a stringent employer's liabil?

Are ven Hon of Railroad Accidents.
The ever increasing casualty list up?
on our railroads is a matter of grave
public concern and urgently calls for
action by the congress. The passage of
a law requiring the adoption of a block
signal system has been proposed to the
congress. I earnestly concur ill that
recommendation and would also, point
out to the congress the urgent m&?. sf
legislation *ln the Interest of the^piibHc

railroad employees in train service up?

When we come to deal with gre
corporations the need for the gover
ment to act directly is far greater tn:
in the case of labor, because great cc
porations can become such only by e
gaging in interstate commerce, and i
terstate commerce is peculiarly tl
field of the general government, it
an absurdity to expect to eliminate tl
abuses in irreat corporations by sta
action. It is difficult to be patient wit
an argument that such matters sbo-j]
be left to the states, because more tha
one state pursues the policy of crea
ing on easy terms corporations wak
are never >perated within that stat
at all, but i other states whose law
they ignore. The national governmei
alone can deal adequately with thes
great corporations. To try to dei
with them in an intemperate, destru?
tiv? or demagogic spirit would in a
probability mean that nothing whn
ever would be accomplished, and wit
absolute certainty that if anythin
were aecomplisheu it would be of
harmful nature. The American pee
pie need to continue to show the ver,
qualities that they have shown-that is
moderation, good sense, the eames
desire to avoid doing any damage an<
yet the quiet determination to proceed
step by step, without halt and withou
hurry, in eliminating or at lee st ii
minimizing whatever of mischief or c
evil there .. to interstate commerce
in the conduct of great corporations
They are acting in no spirit of hostility
to wealth, either individual or cor
porate. They are not against the rici
man any more than against the poo:
j man. On the contrary, they are friend
ly alike toward rich man and towart
poor man, provided only that each acts
in a spirit of justice and decency to
ward his fellows. Great corporations
are necessary, and only men of greal
and singular mental power can man
age such corporations successfully
and such men must have great re?
wards. But these corporations should
be managed with due regard to thc
interest of the public as a whole
Where this can be done under the pres?
ent laws it must be done. Where
these laws come short others should
be enacted to supplement them.

Immigration and Natural izati or
In dealing with the questions of
migration and naturalization it is
dispensable to keep certain facts e
before the minds of those who sh
j in enacting the laws. First and fe
most, let us remember that the qr
j tion of being a good American 1
! nothing whatever to do with a ma
birthplace any more than it has to
j with his creed. In every generat

and therefore we should not adrj
! masses of men whose standards of 1

habits are such that thev tend to low
j the-level of the American wageworki
j and above all we should not admit a]
' man of an unworthy type. Similar
i we should take the greatest care abo
j naturalization. Fraudulent natural^
j tion, the naturalization of improp
persons, is a curse to our governmei
\ and It is the affair of every hone
j voter, wherever born, to see that ]
? fraudulent voting is allowed, that i
! fraud in connection with naturaliz
j tion is permitted.
J Revision of Naturalization Laws.
I There should be a comprehensive r
i vision of the naturalization laws. Tl
courts having power to naturalh
j should be definitely named by nation,
j authority, the testimony upon whi<
naturalization may be conferred shou;
be definitely prescribed, publication <
impending naturalization applicatioi
should be required in advance of the
hearing in court, the form and won
j lng of all certificates issued should t
uniform throughout the country, an
1 the courts should be required to mas

. stated periods of all naturalization

Not only are the laws relating t
naturalization now defective, but thos
relating to citizenship of the Unite
States ought also to be made the sui
ject of scientific inquiry with a view t
.probable further legislation. The pow
er of the government to protect the IE
tegrity of the elections of its own offi
dals is inherent and has been recog
nized and affirmed by repeated dec
larations of the supremo court. Ther

Delays In Criminal Prosecutions.
No subject is better worthy the at
tention of the congress than that por
tion of the report of the attorney gen
eral dealing with the long delays anc
the great obstruction to justice experi
enced in the cases of Beavers, Greer
and Gaynor and Benson. Were thes<
Isolated and special cases I should no1
call your attention to them, but the dif?
ficulties encountered as regards these
men who have been indicted for crimi
I nal practices are not exceptional. They
are precisely similar in kind to what
occurs again and again in the case of
criminals who have sufficient means to
enable them to. take advantage of a
system of procedure which has grown
up in the federal courts and which
amounts in effect to making the law
easy of enforcement against the man
who has no money and difficult of en?
forcement, even to the point of some
times securing immunity, as regards
.the man who has money. At present
the interests of the innocent man are
1 amply safeguarded, but the interests of
' the government-that is, the Interests
of honest administration; that is, the
interests of the people-are not recog?
nized as they should be.

> Policy Toward Other Cations oi
Western Hemisphere.
It is not true that the United States
feels any land hunger or entertains
any projects as regards the other na
tions of the western hemisphere savi
such as are for their welfare. All thal
this country desires is to see the neigh?
boring countries stable, orderly and
prosperous. Any country whose people
conduct themselves well can count upoc
our hearty friendship. If a nation
shows that it knows how to act with
reasonable efficiency and decency in so?
cial and political matters, if it keeps
order and pays its obligations, it need
fear no interference from the United
States. Chronic wrongdoing or an im?
potence which results in a general loos?
ening of the ties of civilized society
may in America, as elsewhere, ulti?
mately require intervention by some
civilized nation, and in the western
hemisphere the adherence of the Unit?
ed States to the Monroe doctrine may
force the United States, however re
I luctantly, in flagrant cases of such
wrongdoing or impotence, to tho exer?
cise of an international police power.

Within the last three years the Unit?
ed States has set an example in dis?
armament where disarmament was
proper. By law our army is fixed at
a maximum of 100,000 and a minimum
of 60,00o1 men. When there was insur
reefton in the Philippines we kept the
army at the- maximum. Peace came in
the Philippines, and now our army
has been reduced to the lainfmum at
which it is possible to keep it with due
regard to its efficiency. We should be
aMe, rn the event of some sadden
emergency, to put into the field one
first class army corps, which- should be,
as a whole, at least the equal -of any
body of troops of like number belong?
ing- to any other nation.
Great progress has been made in pro?
tecting our coasts by adequate fortifi?
cations with sufficient guns. We
should,, however, pay much more heed
than at present to the development of
an extensive system of floating mines
for use irx all our more Important har?
bors. These mmes have been proved
to be a most formidable safeguard
against hostile fleets.
Tfie Pfe&fpf>fires.
In the Philippine Islands there has
been during the past year a continua?
tion of the steady progress which has
obtained ever since our troops definite?
ly got the upper hand of the insur?
gents. The Philippine people, or, to
speak more accurately, the marry
tribes and even races sundered from
one another more or less sharply who
go to make up the people of the Philip?
pine Islands, contain many elements
of good, and .some elements which we
have a right to hope stand for prog?
ress. At present they are utterly in?
capable of existing in independence at
all or of building up a civilization of
their own. I firmly believe that we
can help them to rise higher and high?
er in the scale of civilization and of
capacity for self government, and I
most earnestly hope that- in the end
they will be able to stand, if not en?
tirely alone, yet in some such relation
io the United States as Cuba now
stands. This end is not yet in sight,
and ft may be indefinitely postponed
if our people are foolish enough to turn
the attention of the Filipinos away
from the problems of achieving moral
and material prosperity, of working
for a stable, orderly and just govern?
ment, and toward foolish and danger?
ous intrigues for a complete independ?
ence for which they are as yet totally
On the other hand, our people must
keep steadily before their minds the
fact that the justification for our stay
ia the Philippines most ultimately rest
chiefly upon the good we are able to
do in the islands. I do not overlook
the fact that in the development of our
interests in the Pacific ocean and
along its coasts the Philippines have
played and will play an important part
and that our interests have been serv?
ed in more than one way by the pos?
session of the islands. But our chief
reason for continuing to hold them
must be that we ought in good faith
to try to do ocr share of the world's
work, and this particular piece of work
has been imposed upon us by the re?
sults of the war with Spain. We are
endeavoring to develop the natives
themselves so that they shall take an
ever increasing share in their own gov?
ernment, and, as far as is prudent, we.
are already admitting their representa?
tives to a- governmental equality with
our own. There are commissioners,
judges and governors in the islands
who are Filipinos and who have exact?
ly the same share in the government
of the islands as have their colleagues
who are Americans, while in the lower
ranks, of course, the great majority of
the public servants are Filipinos.
W*thln two years we shall be trying
the experiment of an elective lower
house in the Philippine legislature. If
the Filipinos act with wisdom and self
restraint, if they show that they are
capable of electing a legislature which
in its turn is capable of taking a sane
and efficient part in the actual work of
government they can rest assured that
a full and increasing measure of rec?
ognition will be given them.
Every measure taken concerning tho
Islands should be taken primarily with
a view to their advantage. We shouhl
certainly give them lower tariff rate*
on their exports to the United States.
If this is not done it will .be a wron-:
to extend our shipping laws to thorn.
I earnestly hope for the immediate*
enactment into law .of the legislation
now pending to encourage American
capital to seek investment in the is?
lands in railroads, in factories, in plan?
tations ?nd in lumbering and mining.

What is an academic year?
The Office of Student Financial Aid Services uses a standard academic year for students enrolled in our traditional program. This year spans two enrollment terms (semesters). The terms total at least 30 weeks of instruction. A full-time student is expected to complete at least 24 credit hours during an academic year.
What is enrollment status?
Full-time status is defined as taking 12 or more credits in a semester. Three-quarter-time status is defined as taking less than 9 credit hours in a semester. One-half-time status is defined as 6 credit hours a semester. Only the Federal Pell Grant is available for qualified students taking fewer than 6 credit hours a semester.
Verification is a procedure in which some students are requested to document certain data elements on the FAFSA—including but not limited to income and family size. Primary documents collected are the IRS transcripts for the student and the parents if the student is a dependent. A verification worksheet must also be completed.
MidAmerica Nazarene verifies all students who are selected by the Department of Education and may use its discretion in selecting students for verification. If selected for verification, no Federal financial aid funds will be credited to a student's account until the verification process is complete.
What is Satisfactory Academic Progress?
In order to maintain eligibility for financial aid, a student must make adequate academic progress toward his or her degree. Eligibility for federal financial aid is terminated if a student takes longer than 150% of the time established to complete his/her course of study. Students must successfully complete 66.67% of attempted cumulative credits.
For students transferring to MNU, the total number of credit hours accepted by MNU will be included in the number of attempted and completed credit hours in calculations for Satisfactory Academic Progress.
All undergraduates must achieve the following cumulative grade point average (GPA) to maintain financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress. These cumulative GPA requirements are monitored at the end of each semester.
See the entire Satisfactory Academic Process Policy.
Balances Owed MNU
- Students owing the University at the end of a semester will not be permitted to enroll for another semester without making satisfactory financial arrangements with the Bursar.
- Transcripts will not be released until all accounts have been paid in full and Perkins loan payments are current. When clearing a past due student account to receive a transcript, payment must be made by cashier's check, credit card or personal money order if immediate clearance is needed. If payment is made by personal check, a waiting period of 15 days is necessary for the check to clear the bank.
- Graduating students must have their accounts paid in full before participating in graduation exercises and receiving diplomas.
- All financial aid must be applied to the account balance before the student receives credit balances.
- Institutional scholarships must be applied to tuition, fees and residential charges. After these charges are paid, any excess amount will be returned to the scholarship fund. Cash refunds can only be created by outside funded scholarships or loans.

My girl friend and I enjoy spending time in the kitchen cooking up lovely food but as our kitchen is fairly small it's easiest when there is only one of us working in there at a time. As such is can get a little boring if you are preparing something which will take a long time.
We contemplated getting a small television to put in the kitchen to stick on when we are in there but decided we did not really have room for one, and to be honest when you are cooking you can't really concentrate on what is happening on the screen so we felt it was a bit pointless, instead we opted to buy a radio.
We decided to look for a DAB radio so we would have a wider choice of stations to listen to than with normal fm radio. We also wanted to find something which had an auxillary input which we could use to link up our non iPod mp3 players. Upon looking around at various options we discovered that there are huge amounts of products which are iPod compatible but finding something with a 3.5mm stereo jack lead (or similar) to use with other mp3 players etc was not so easy, particularly in the sort of style we wanted, a small compact single unit....and without spending very much.
After a good amount of time looking we stumbled across this one in our local Asda Living store which had only recently opened. We were looking round the various radios they had, most of which had iPod docks, but nothing else, when we noticed this one also seemed to have a stereo jack input. We picked up the box and had a good look, it did indeed have the stereo jack we wanted, and was a nice sized DAB radio (with alarmclock) with an iPod dock if we ever wanted it and even a remote control, all for just under £60. It seemed to be the perfect item for us so we purchased it.
***** The Radio *****
When we got it home I unpacked it and started to play with it. My first impression was that although it was fairly lightweight, it still felt well put together and certainly didn't feel like it would fall apart in your hands like some budget electronic things can feel.
Overall the radio is essentially a cylinder about 12 inches long and about 6 inches in diameter. on the front, in the middle, there is a small LCD display which is used to show which input you are using, the radio station you are listening to, volume changes etc etc. It is backlit with in a gentle blue which if used in a bedroom might cause a bit too much of a glow if you like a nice dark room, but for our purposes in the kitchen is perfect.
Above the screen is the iPod dock. several adapter plates come with the radio to allow you use differing models of iPod, though not owning one, I have not used this and hence don't know if the plates fit nicely, nor do I know if the dock works well or not. (I am contemplating getting a cheap secondhand iPod to use with this radio at some point and if I do I shall
update my review accordingly).
Below the screen there are 3 rows of buttons which are used to set the alarm time, select inputs, tune the radio, store radio presets etc etc. The buttons are fairly compact and match the look of the unit nicely without making the front look busy or cluttered. In operation the buttons do not have the mopst positive/quality feel about them, instead they are fairly clunky and clicky. This is not too much of a surprise to me for the money paid and the functionality of the unit. They do however work fine and make operating the unit simple.
To either side of the buttons/screen are the speakers, hidden behind grills. Overall this is a fairly simple and quite stylish unit.
***** Tuning and Operation *****
I plugged in the radio and set about getting it tuning. WHen I did this I was in our lounge and had the thin wire aerial just laying on the floor. I got a few channels but none of the BBC channels etc, which confused me a little as we live in an area with good radio and TV reception. On the channels I did manage to pick up, the sound was ok but a little thin/watery sounding if that makes sense, like there was a lack of depth to the sound. I was rather disappointed.
I then remembered having read that DAB radios can be rather fussy about their aerial locations, so I moved the radio into the Kitchen where it would be living and raised the aerial up along the window frame and retuned. This time it picked up all the channels and they sounded great!
I was actually rather surprised by the sound quality and volume of the radio, it is much better than a lot of budget radio equipment and provides nice sounding audio. Ok it'll never be able to compete with a decent Hifi setup or anything like that but for what it is, essentially a clock radio, it is really good.
Naturally as with any new piece of audio equipment, I had to whack the volume up to see what it was like. It went fairly loud and did not suffer too badly from distortion, though there was some vibration from the actual physical unit but this did not cause me any concern as it is only intended to be used for some light listen whilst cooking, not for filling a large room with music for a party or anything, which it would not manage.
WIth the radio tuned and several presets stored (a fairly simple and quick process) it was ready to be used. At this point I got the remote control out of the box and gave it a try. the remote is a lovely tiny little thing, smaller than a credit card and only about 5 mm thick. The buttons are the standard type you find on such remotes, raised bumps that click down when you press them rather than actual buttons.
I was quite impressed with the remote control as often such remotes seem like an after thought and don't work very well, or need pointing at the unit with precision aiming to get them to work - certainly not the case here. The buttons are very response and the remote works well from most angles. I can now be at the oven with my back to the radio and if I lift the remote to point upwards it operates the radio perfectly!
I'm not sure but I think the remote will also control the iPod if you use the dock, this is something I have not tested yet but will update if I ever do test it.
I have used the 3.5mm stereo jack on several occasions to link up my mp3 player to listen to my music and it works very well, sadly there is obviously no remote control functionality when doing this beyond volume control but I'm not too bothered by that, as I can make playlists etc on my player and have it play whatever I want easily enough. The sound quality when playing mp3s this way is again very pleasing.
***** Alarm Clock *****
This unit is designed as a radio alarm clock but I have never used it in this capacity and am unable to comment on it's functionality. I have read elsewhere though that it is not possible to change the volume of the alarm even when using the radio as the alarm and it is set to be rather loud, so this may be something to check out if you are considering this unit to be used as an alarm clock.
***** Conclusion *****
We have been using this radio in our kitchen for the last 2 months or so and I have to say we are both really pleased with it as it does exactly what we had hoped it would. We have listened to quite a lot of DAB radio which has been pretty good, though it does suffer sometimes from slightly disturbances to the sound quality which is caused by adverse weather etc, but this is a weakness of DAB radio in general from what I have read and in a budget bit of kit like this I think this only to be expected really. Listening to mp3s through the auxillary input works really well and sounds great.
It is so nice to no longer feel a bit left out when alone in the kitchen!!!
If you are in the market for a well priced DAB radio and iPod dock etc I would certainly recommend having a look at this one!!!

New Catholic Conference Center Opens
The four-story, 50,000-square-foot Michigan Catholic Conference building cost $13 million, according to the paper. It replaces a broken-down motel that formerly was haunted by drug dealers and prostitutes in the struggling downtown neighborhood.
On March 12, Detroit Cardinal Adam Maida blessed the building, which will serve some 2.25 million Catholics in seven Michigan dioceses.
Religious Sister of Mercy Monica Kostielney, president and chief executive officer of the conference, praised the facility, which boasts high-tech computer and communications technology, including teleconferencing capabilities.
The Michigan Catholic Conference acts as lobbyist for the Church on social and economic issues, and manages benefits for thousands of Church employees and retirees.
"It is often said that the anticipation is greater than the reality," she said. "I don't think so."
Pews and Coffers Are Less Full in Boston
It reported some 50,000 fewer parishioners attending Mass every week in 2003 than in 2001.
An archdiocesan spokesman admitted that church attendance numbers have fallen, pointing out that the situation varies greatly from parish to parish, estimating the fall at approximately 14%.
The archdiocese also has announced budget cuts. In a letter sent to local pastors in March, apostolic administrator Bishop Richard Lennon said the archdiocesan central operating budget will be cut by $4 million in the coming fiscal year.
Iraqi-Americans Hate Saddam Yet Oppose War
REUTERS, March 16 — As they were anticipating war in Iraq, Catholics of Iraqi descent in the United States are afraid, according to Reuters news service.
Reporting from Detroit, home of approximately 300,000 Arabs — one of the largest concentrations outside the Middle East — the news service found many Iraqi Catholics and Shiites who harbor a deep hatred of embattled dictator Saddam Hussein for his cruel and repressive government.
But they are also afraid of war's effects on their relatives back home, and they overwhelmingly oppose the American attack on that country, questioning U.S. motives and intentions.
"Nobody buys that this is about freedom for the people of Iraq," said Ismael Ahmed, leader of Access, a Middle-Eastern refugee organization. "Most people in the Arab community think this is about oil and political control."
Others expressed fear that the attack on an Arab state would produce many civilian deaths, widespread destruction and more terrorist attacks against America. They worried hate crimes against Arab-Americans might increase, which the FBI has warned could happen if a war drags on.

This section covers the following pre-installation topics:
Before you install components, use the steps in this section to make sure the system on which you are installing is ready.
The performance of your messaging server depends on many factors, including CPU power, available memory, disk space, file system performance, usage patterns, network bandwidth, and so on. For example, throughput is directly related to file system performance. If you have questions about sizing and performance, contact your Sun Java System representative.
Make sure you are the root user for the system.
Have at least 2.2 GB free disk space for the unzipped image.
Have the image already unzipped.
Make sure that the /etc/resolv.conf file has name server entries with the IP addresses of valid name servers. For example:
domain comms.beta.com nameserver 192.168.100.22 nameserver 192.168.100.23 nameserver 192.168.100.24 nameserver 192.168.100.25
Make sure that the /etc/hosts file has an entry for the fully qualified host name of the server. This fully qualified host name should be listed before the non fully qualified host name. For example:
10.1.82.52 wireless.comms.beta.com wireless loghost
Make sure that the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is configured to use files first to resolve host names. The hosts line in the nsswitch.conf file should list files first in its entry:
hosts: files dns nis [NOTFOUND=return]
Or, if NIS is not used:
hosts: files dns
On Solaris 10 platforms, you not only have to add the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to the /etc/hosts file, but also to the /etc/inet/ipnodes file.
Otherwise, you'll get an error indicating that your host name is not a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
The following file systems are recommended for message stores:
LUFS (Logging UFS).
VxFS (Veritas File System). Veritas File System provides good system performance if configured properly. If you use VxVM, the Veritas Volume Manager, you need to carefully watch that the volumes and the log file for the volumes are set to be regularly striped.
HAStoragePlus File System for Sun Cluster installations. The HAStoragePlus File System provides better performance than the default Sun Cluster Global File System.
NFS (Network File System).
You can use NFS on MTA relay machines for LMTP, for autoreply histories, and for message defragmentation. (See the Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Guide). In addition, NFS can be supported on BSD-style mailboxes (/var/mail/ ) as well as for the Message Store. The following versions of NFS have been certified for use with Messaging Server: Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS Appliance.
The 64–bit release supports the following platforms:
64–bit version Solaris 9 Operating System Update 2 (SPARC® Platform Editions) with required patches
64–bit Solaris 10 Operating System SPARC and 64–bit x86 Platform Editions including Zones Support
Any required 64–bit Hardware. See Solaris 64–bit documentation.
The following platforms are not supported:
The 64–bit version of the installer is not supported on Linux
Messaging Server is no longer supported on HP-UX and Windows
The 32–bit release supports the following platforms:
Solaris 9 Operating System Update 2 (SPARC and x86 Platform Editions) with required patches

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server, versions 3 (all updates) and 4 (all updates).
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Enterprise Server, versions 3 (all updates) and 4 (all updates)
For the most current list of required patches for Sun Java System Messaging Server go to http://sunsolve.sun.com and select either "Patches" or "Patch Portal". As operating system patch requirements change and patches to Java Enterprise System components become available, updates will be made available on SunSolve, initially in the form of recommended patch clusters.
The installer checks for required platform patches. You must install all required patches or the installation process will not continue.
At the time of general release, the following Messaging Server 6.3 32–bit upgrade patches are available:
Solaris Platform
Patch Number (English)
The following Messaging Server 6.3 product packages are part of this release:
