Capital Punishment
Background Information
The first established death penalty laws date as far back as Babylon in the Eighteenth Century B.C.
William the Conqueror forbid being executed for any crime, except in times of war.
Under the reign of Henry VIII, as many as 72,000 people were executed.
Common methods of execution
Burning at the stake
Beheading, etc
Top 5 countries with most death penalties carried out per year
What is the capital punishment?
More commonly known as the "death penalty"
If the highest form of punishment, where the person found guilty is killed for their crimes
The crimes have to be considered capital crimes and they usually consist of murder
Real-life example
Murder of Stephanie Flores by Joran Van der Sloot.
He was charged with murder of 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores, in Lima.
Van der Sloot was sentenced to 28 years in prison.
He was also ordered by court to give his victim's family $75,000.
The moral principles governing or influencing conduct
The branch of knowledge concerned with moral principle
Inductive logic:
Ethics formulates a conclusion derived from obtained data or evidence
It determines what theories can explain the data
Induction does not prove that the conclusion is correct
Religious theories: based on faith and usually revealed through 'divine revelation'.
The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods
A particular system of faith and worship.
A pursuit or interest followed with great devotion.
Religion uses deductive logic, were the conclusion follows necessarily from the premises.
Executions were carried out for capital offenses like marrying a Jew, not confessing to a crime, treason, etc.
Methods now include the lethal injection and
Over 2/3 of countries nowadays have abolished the death penalty
Knowledge Issue
To what extent is the capital punishment ethically viable?
1. China
2. Iran
3. North Korea
4. Yemen
Must believe the action is right and be ready to justify it
The interests of someone other than oneself must be involved
One must act out of free will
The action must be deliberate
Ethical Codes:
Set of rules with a reason behind them
Based on a guiding principle
Areas of Knowledge and Ways of Knowing
Ethics and Religion→principal areas of knowledge.
Social Sciences
• Cycle of birth and re-birth
• It doesn't solve their crime or those of humanity in general
• Will injure the mind of the person doing the punishment.
• Buddha:
"action, even if it brings benefit to oneself, cannot be considered a good action if it causes physical and mental pain to another being"
• Retribution
"Whoever shed the blood of a man, by man shall his blood be shed
" Genesis 9:6
Death penalty consistent with Old Testament teaching.
Crucifixion of Jesus.
By his crime, he has already dispossessed himself of his right to life
– Pope Pius XII
Only God should create and destroy life
The Bible teaching is inconsistent, depends on how it is interpreted.
Christianity is based on forgiveness and compassion
Life should always be supported
"Take not life, which God has made sacred, except by way of justice and law. Thus does He command you, so that you learn wisdom"
– Qur'an 6:151
Applied by a court for crimes of suitable severity.
Court is fully able to impose more lenient sentences when they see it appropriately.
In Islamic law, death penalty is appropriate for two groups of crime: Intentional murder or anyone who threatens to undermine authority/destabilize the state.
The Sharia law is often used by repressive powers that attack women and the poor.
Executing those who are accused denying them a lawyer, which contradicts to the concept of Islamic justice.
Self-Interest Theory
Aristotle: Everyone has goals in their life and we are quite entitled to pursue them
We can aim for these goals but we must achieve them in a virtuous way
State of "eudimania" (to be content with life)
Universal Law
"Do unto others as you would be done by"
Treat others the way you want to be treated (outlined by Kant)
It must be linked to the "Law of Respecting Others"
It needs reasoning:
It would not be possible in people with mental problems
It could be problematic in an "immoral society"
"The greatest good for the greatest number of people"
John Stuart Mill: If you could take an action that would make you unhappy, but make others happy you should do it
Other A.o.K
Social Sciences:
Is life imprisonment really more expensive than the death penalty? False
Death penalty cost: $1.6 million
Life imprisonment: $740 000
Therefore: Against capital punishment
Behaviour: Once the criminal is released from life imprisonment under parole they will return to their old lifestyle
Therefore: In favour of capital punishment
In the past, it was practised by most societies, as a punishment for criminals and political/religious dissidents. It was considered ethically viable, such as the Purges in Stalinist Russia.
The death penalty goes against this theory
One can fulfill their objectives but without harming others
The death penalty means killing someone, harming a third party to favour the victim or society itself
The death penalty also contradicts this theory
No mentally healthy person would choose to be killed, therefore, capital punishment
However, this creates a discussion of whether killers are mentally healthy or not
This is the only theory that would support the death penalty
The killing of a member of society that has harmed another member benefits more people than the one being killed
The greater good would be the permanent removal of a dangerous member from society
In Van der Sloot's case, capital punishment is ethically viable to a certain extent
However, it is still the life of a human being.
From the other hand, death penalty would be retribution of a life for a life.
No evidence that shows that states that use capital punishment have lower murder rates than those that don't.
The decision depends mainly on the situation and context.
We have come to the conclusion that it is not ethically viable to carry out a death penalty
Religious Theories
The Self-Interest Theory
The Universal Law Theory
The Utilitarian Theory
Ethical Principles
Other Reasons
In favour (justify the death penalty)
Retribution and justice
Closure for the victims and their families
Japanese argument
Utilitarianism Law
Against (do not justify the death penalty)
Value of human life/the right to live
Execution of the innocent/unfair
Retribution is wrong
Self Interest Law
Universal Law
A cause, explanation, or justification
The power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgements logically
"instinctive feeling as distinguished from reasoning or knowledge"
What is the role of emotion in justification of ethical decision-making process, of imposing death penalty?
Strong emotions provoked by the crimes interfere with the rational deliberation.
Exert a destructive influence on the decision-making process.
Rational decision-making without emotion is not possible.
What is the role of reason when sentencing a death penalty?
Whether to execute or not a criminal, should be based on reason
It is objective and ensures the criminal is being convicted for the right reasons (not for a personal vendetta, etc)

Female Circumcision and HIV Infection in Tanzania: for Better or for Worse?. Rebecca Y. Stallings, 2 Statisticus Consultoris, USA and Emilian Karugendo, National Bureau of Statistics, Tanzania. Data Source.

Rebecca Y. Stallings,
2 Statisticus Consultoris, USA and Emilian Karugendo,
National Bureau of Statistics, Tanzania
This analysis and its findings are derived from the 2003-04 Tanzania HIV/AIDS Indicator Survey (the THIS), which is currently available for public use. The first author received permission from the National Bureau of Statistics in Tanzania to conduct this work prior to the official release of the data set to the public.
Female circumcision, also referred to as female genital cutting (FGC) and female genital mutilation (FGM), is most prevalent in Africa. The practice has been linked to obstetrical and gynecological problems in addition to mental and physical trauma that may result from the more severe forms of the procedure and has hence been widely condemned for both ethical and health reasons by the World Health Organization and other entities involved with Human Rights.
WHO has defined 4 types of circumcision:
Excision (cutting of both the clitoris and part or all of the labia minora)
Infibulation (cutting of all external genitalia with stitching of the vaginal opening)
Other less radical forms including pricking and piercing
It has been estimated that 80-85% of female circumcision is either type I or II.
(ref. K.E.Kun, 1997, Intl J Gynecology and Obstetrics)
Female circumcision
Partial/complete occlusion of the vagina
Greater risk of inflammation/bleeding during intercourse
Disruption of the genital epithelium/exposure to blood/penile abrasions which have been reported to enhance risk of HIV infection
Female circumcision
Painful/difficult vaginal penetration
Increased practice of anal intercourse, which has been shown to enhance the efficiency of HIV transmission
Female circumcision
Higher incidence of obstructed labor and tearing
Higher risk of blood transfusion; blood supply may not be optimally screened for HIV
Use of unsterilized instruments to perform the female circumcision procedure
Exposure to blood contaminated by the virus
While WHO and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics publicly postulated that female circumcision might be a risk factor for HIV infection as long ago as 1992, very little research has been published to date examining this relationship.
In light of the alarming spread of HIV among females in a number of African countries where female circumcision continues to be practiced, the dearth of work on this question is somewhat perplexing.
3 published studies were identified which looked at the association between female circumcision and HIV infection;
All 3 studies were conducted in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania

Title: Babe in Boyland
Author: Jody Gehrman
Released: February 2011
Summary: When high school junior Natalie - or Dr. Aphrodite, as she calls herself when writing the relationship column for her school paper - is accused of knowing nothing about guys and giving girls bad relationship advice, she decides to investigate what guys really think and want. But the guys in her class won't give her straight or serious answers. The only solution? Disguising herself as a guy and spending a week at Underwood Academy, the private all-boy boarding school in town. There she learns a lot about guys and girls in ways she never expected - especially when she falls for her dreamy roommate, Emilio. How can she show him she likes him without blowing her cover? - from Goodreads.
My Review: Babe in Boyland is a funny and cute read that is sure to please those who are into the whole cross-dressing girl in an all boys school thing (yes, it's a thing with a strong following or so I here). With striking similarities to the Amanda Bynes movie She's the Man, Babe in Boyland treads familiar ground as 17 year old Natalie Rowan dresses as a boy and infiltrates an all boys school to gain insight into why boys do the things they do (man, if it only it were that easy).
Yes it's a little far-fetched, yes you must suspend your belief in reality, yes there are cliches to no end, and yes it is quite predictable. There were no big surprises here. And I honestly wasn't expecting or wanting anything too deep when I started reading this novel. The cover of the book screams zany, fun times, and that's what it delivered. That's not to say that there is not substance to Gehrman's genderbender tale because there are lessons to be learned and interesting observations on teenage relationships and self esteem.
Natalie is a funny and likable protagonist who despite being a little full of herself at the start of the novel is a relatable and three dimensional character. The only pitfall of the novel was that the romance between Nat and her sensitive and hot roommate Emilio seemed a bit rushed given that the story took place over one week. Nevertheless, Babe in Boyland is a light, fluffy, amusing read that is sure to entertain and delight.

LIMA, Jan 7 (Reuters) - The government of Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski passed a law on Saturday that will lower the Value Added Tax rate by one point to 17 percent starting July 1, six months later than previously planned.
The reduction can only go into effect if revenues from the tax equal at least 7.2 percent of gross domestic product in the 12 months through May 31, according to the law published on the website of the government gazette El Peruano.
Kuczynski, who took office in late July, had campaigned on a promise to cut the VAT rate to 15 percent from 18 percent to broaden the payer base and stimulate consumption.
But his centrist government has opted to lower the rate gradually as it grapples with slipping tax revenues and tries to rein in a bigger-than-anticipated fiscal deficit left by the previous government.

Teemo Build Guide by TeenKisses2001
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Teemo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is the Teemo build that I've used since I laid finger on this little guy. This build is great as it can take down tanks like Cho'Gath, Rammus, and Shen as well as destroy squishy champs like Ezreal, Ashe, and Annie. This build is extremely micro intensive as you will have literally be the squishiest on your team.
The way I have my runes set up for this build is flat Attack Speed. You will have about .950 atk spd at level 1. This combined with your Toxic Shot ability is sure to rip apart any champion you're laning against.
The masteries I have set up for this build is a 9/21/0 build. Since you will be squishy, you need the extra defense from the masteries. It'll keep you alive during harass and narrow escapes. Trust me.
SKill Sequence
I take Toxic Shot first. This is your main damage output from early to mid game. Max this out first. Level 2 I take Blinding Dart. This will give you the edge when you want to harass hard. level 3 I take another point into Toxic Shot and then level 4 you get your Move Quick. Activate it only when you're getting chased by ganks or to escape from dying.
Summoner Spells
For this build, I like to take Flash and Ignite. Teemo is a quick little guy so and he can stealth. Flash is used to either escape from death or to catch up to a sure kill. Ignite just works so well with poison.
If you want to run an even safer Teemo, take Ghost and Flash. This will help you secure a safe return home.
Another set of spells I used to run: Flash and Exhaust. This is mainly for 1 v 1 purposes but it works well in team fights too.
-Rips early game.
-Rips mid game
-Rips late game
-Very fun to play this build
-Micro Intensive
-Very squishy through-out
-Not for everyone
Always last hit. Always. Farming is key to winning in any game. Since you have Toxic Shot early, your harass is good enough to keep melee units back behind their own minions. You just pick off the dying minions while they cower in the back. Don't play aggressive unless you know you can get away with dealing more damage to the enemy champion than you can take from their counter and minion attacks. Again, last hit.
This is important. Even if you have all the runes and all the masteries set-up you still have to know exactly how to play this type of Teemo. I've seen people play Teemo full AP build. In my opinion, those don't do so well. I've seen Teemos go AD and those do okay but all they do is stand there and attack. That's not so fun. This build is micro intensive. That means you have to be doing a copious amount of kiting and moving in and out of bushes. Here's how I play Teemo.
-Early game-
It doesn't matter which lane you take. If you play right, you will dominate. If I'm mid, I grab my book and head in the middle. Remember, Teemo can Stealth so use that to your advantage. Hide there until the minions come. You will be in the middle of the battle between minions. Depending on who you're up against you can get away with certain things. Mages like Brand, Lux, Malzahar, and LeBlanc are the easiest to bully. They depend on their skills. Once you see them use a skill, go in for a quick two shot harass. The flat Attack Speed Runes will help out. By level 3 you should be a little below full health with a pot and they should be either half health or less than full with no pot. If you're facing a ranged character, check who has the higher attack speed. If it's you, than you can get away with a two shot harass after every 1 minion kill. After you get Blinding Shot, harassment shouldn't be a problem. Just remember to keep moving. If you're laning against someone who has a skill shot, always strafe. By level 3 or 4 you should pick up first blood or at least a kill. Go back to base and buy level 1 shoes and a dagger or two. When you get back in lane, your opponent should either be mad enough to be stupid and try to kill you back or be so passive that they stay under their tower. This is when you play your smartest. If they're passive, farm. Only harass when they try to attack your minions. If they're aggressive, pull them into your minions and then attack them with Blinding Dart first. Use your stealth often. Since they can't see you they will either call MIA and try to farm and then you can kill them or they'll be cowering. Use this to gank.
By level 6, ganking should be something you do often. Push your lane and gank. Always go to the lane that is being pushed by the opposing team. Set up a few shrooms in the river and head towards the aforementioned lanes. Pick off the squishiest. Even if you don't get a kill at least they will have wasted a summoner spell or two. Go back to mid and farm some more.
-Mid Game-
By this time, you should have a Malady and your Berserker's. Great. Now you'll be attacking so fast that no one can stop you. Maybe. When you have a free shroom, use it to keep an eye on the opposing jungle's Blue and Red buff. You might want to put all of your shrooms in their jungle. If they can't maneuver in their own jungle, they won't be able to farm neutral minions correctly and they'll be lower health when they get back to lane or for a gank. Sometimes I like to stealth myself near a shroom and wait 30 seconds to see if any champion shows up. If they do step on the shroom, wait for the slow to exalt and then shoot them with Blinding Dart and 4 shots. Then run. It doesn't matter if you kill them. This is just to get under their skin. They have to continuously go back to base to heal and they can't farm because of you! During team fights, try to stay outside of the current battle. Stealth yourself and let your tank take the damage. Let your mages do the nukes and your melee's to help lower the enemies. Your job with this build is to blind the AD damage dealer and kill the mages and stragglers. The reason why shrooms in the opponent's jungle is good is because anyone with low enough health will die from your shrooms if they hide in a bush that has one. Aim for big hitters like Ashe, Cait, Talon, and Shaco. Blind them, run and if they follow you, they're good as dead. Your attack speed plus the continuous damage from Malady, Toxic Shot, and Last Whisper will drop them fast. Even if they start to run away, your shrooms can still kill them. If they don't it's fine. They'll either be so low that they can't help or they'll come back and you just kill them then.
-Late Game-
By now, you should have all your items and your mushrooms are wild in their jungle. There's literally nothing left to do except run rampant on their feelings. I usually just stay stealthed in obscure locations within the enemy jungle. When an opponent comes, you can kill them within 10 seconds. Blind and then fire away. If it's a melee character, run into a bush shoot from their, then run out and shoot from there. Then run away as if you're scared. Stealth and then stalk them some more. Plant mushrooms all the time. Steal blue all the time. And remember to keep moving.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Coronado Biosciences plunged Monday after the company said its experimental Crohn's disease treatment using eggs from a parasitic worm failed in a midstage clinical trial.
Coronado said the treatment, called TSO, didn't meet its main or secondary goals in the study. The company said patients who were treated with a placebo did better than expected, so patients treated with TSO did not reach target levels of improvement compared with those patients.
The shares fell $3.87, or 67.1 percent, to $1.90 in morning trading. Earlier they sank to an all-time low of $1.73.
TSO stands for Trichuris suis ova. Trichuris suis is a type of parasitic worm found in pigs, and TSO are the eggs of the worm.
Coronado is studying TSO as a treatment for a variety of autoimmune conditions because the worm can affect the human immune system and it may reduce symptoms of those diseases. Autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's happen when the body's immune system attacks its own cells.
Coronado said the worm does not multiply in humans and can briefly colonize humans without causing disease symptoms before it is cleared from the body.
The midstage study compared TSO to placebo in 250 patients with Crohn's disease. The Burlington, Mass., company said patients treated with TSO did not have a significant improvement in symptoms compared to placebo and patients treated with TSO were not more likely to experience remission.
Coronado said patients with high levels of disease activity experienced some improvement, but the difference between TSO and placebo wasn't statistically significant.
Coronado Biosciences Inc. expects to report interim results from a second midstage study before the end of the year. The company does not have any drugs approved for sale.

Our Favorite Fair Food...
...is funnel cake, according to a poll of New York and New Jersey residents commissioned by State Fair Meadowlands.
The Public Opinion Research poll questioned 400 residents of New York and New Jersey about their favorite foods to eat when at a summer fair. Twenty-five percent said funnel cakes, while 23% said hot dogs and 12% answered sausage and peppers.
"Summer fairs are all about indulging in special foods. Where else can you get a deep-fried Oreo, funnel cake, cotton candy and a corn dog all in one place? Part of the fun of a fair is in seeking out those special treats that bring out the kid in all of us," says Al Dorso, President of State Fair Meadowlands.
Want to ruin your fun? How about some calorie counts! One deep-fried Oreo has 98 calories, curly fries have 620 calories, and sausage and peppers has 850 calories. As for funnel cake, the people at State Fair Meadowlands think it's better you don't know.

I see in the building north of town on Bi-state Blvd a produce market has opened. As you may recall the building had been a liquor store for a long time, then a Thrift store for a short time.
I stopped by and it has a wide selection of produce plus a lot of ethnic Turkish can goods. I purchased some items and am waiting to see what it does when the local produce comes on.

Fairchild aims Web site at interface designers
Post a comment
Fairchild Semiconductor International Corp. today launched a website for designers of interface systems, offering to solve system issues and complicated design problems with simulation functions that the company said are unique in the industry.
The EnSigna Lab on the web (www.ensigna.fairchildsemi.com)) is part if Fairchild's aggressive e-business plan to save time and money for customers.
"Clearly, the Internet has become a significant means of customer interaction," says W.T. Greer, senior vice president and general manager of Fairchild's Interface and Logic Group. "The EnSigna Lab on the web provides state-of-the-art tools for us to serve our customers quickly, conveniently and efficiently."
One feature of the EnSigna Lab on the web allows backplane design engineers to pick out Fairchild parts and test the signal integrity via simulation to see how the Fairchild products work in their application. Using this website customers can now access the services of the EnSigna Lab any time from anywhere in the world. Such simulations were previously done at Fairchild's South Portland, Maine, facilities, or Fairchild application engineers traveled great distances to meet with customers.
"The EnSigna Lab on the web is a great tool for them and represents significant savings for their companies. Two days of travel are replaced by a click of the mouse," Greer said.
"All of the research shows that customers want more interaction on the Internet and that information is often difficult to find," Greer said. "Our EnSigna Lab on the web provides easy access to information all in one place and organizes large amounts of information so that circuit designers can easily access the information they need and make decisions for their interface design."
He noted Internet traffic for technical information about Fairchild's interface and logic products increased 166% in just one year. Engineers download more than 200,000 data sheets on interface and logic products each month. A 1998 survey showed that 62% of engineers surveyed prefer the Web for obtaining technical data, and that number is expected to reach 80% this year.
Fairchild Semiconductor recently announced a worldwide e-business initiative affecting every aspect of its business. "First-class customer service is one of our strategic imperatives," says Kirk Pond, Fairchild's president, chairman and CEO, in statement. "The EnSigna Lab on the web is one more step in our aggressive plan to implement advanced e-business applications and services. With continued emphasis on innovative support services, we expect to maintain leadership as the multi-market semiconductor supplier."

Reviewing the publicly available financials for Aqua shows that only 1/3 of money raised goes to grants and scholarships! The executive director takes home 20 cents on every dollar this foundation gets as her salary!! Another 40% goes back into the events themselves. The tax forms are readily available. http://990s.foundationcenter.org/990_pdf_archive/200/200873622/200873622_201212_990.pdf
Review from Guidestar
The Aqua Foundation for Women has been a beacon for promoting, serving, and assisting the growth of South Florida's LBT community. It's dedicated staff and board are composed of passionate individuals who are constantly looking for new ways to grow the organization. Through its grants program, a variety of service organizations have been able to establish, sustain, or grow their programming for the LBT Community and further enrich the quality of life of women in South Florida.
Aqua Foundation for Women is an amazing organization for Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender women in South Florida. They raise money for LBT women's health, wellness, education and scholarships. They have given back to the community almost $340,000.
As a recipient of several grants from Aqua, I am sincerely grateful for their efforts. With the grant money that was awarded to us we have been able to reach out to the LBT women's community and provide them with important health and education initiatives that have touched many lives within our community.
Aqua is a one-of-a-kind community funder in South Florida and we benefit every day through their efforts.

Second Line Syracuse (SLS) is a high energy eight-piece band inspired by both traditional and modern-day New Orleans' style brass bands. Their diverse repertoire speaks to all generations, with influence from many genres including jazz, funk, hip hop a la the Rebirth Brass Band, or Trombone Shorty for example.
The band was initially awarded a grant by Salt City Dishes to kick off the summer of 2015 with a neighborhood parade where they passed out percussion instruments and beads and were joined by several community members. Things have really taken off since then. They have performed at a variety of community events like the NWS Multicultural Block Party and Art on the Porches, the Great New York State Fair, and on the WAER main stage at the Westcott Street Cultural Fair.
In addition, the Second Line Syracuse Brass Band has shared the stage with the world famous Dirty Dozen Brass Band at the Westcott Theater in Syracuse and is quickly adding Syracuse to the musical map as a Northeast "home" for up and coming modern brass band groups. Second Line Syracuse won "Best Jazz Band" in the 2015 Syracuse NewTimes Readers Poll. The group will be one of the featured performers at the 2016 Syracuse Jazz Festival, on a bill also shared by Trombone Shorty himself.
The band, whose core group features 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, saxophone, sousaphone, and drums, is led by first call Central NY jazz trombonist Melissa Gardiner. Gardiner received her master's degree in jazz performance at The Juilliard School where she studies with SNL trombonist Steve Turre. She also graduated with a bachelor's degree at The University of Michigan where she studied with Dennis Wilson. Other former teachers include jazz giants Curtis Fuller and Wycliffe Gordon.
SLS is available for a variety of educational workshops and performances. Each event is carefully crafted to be age and grade level appropriate, and can be planned to match content/curriculum in a fun and interactive way. Our band members include college professors, high school music teachers, and more. For example, through a partnership with the Partners in Learning program, SLS conducted an interactive performance with the MANOS preschool program. Students got to take part in a mini parade, learn more about each instrument, and dance, sing, and play along with percussion instruments. The event was made possible by a Jazz 2 U grant provided by The Herb Alpert Foundation. Please contact directly for more information.
Spice up your event with a brass band! This high energy band works perfectly for outdoor festivals, weddings, and parties. We can join in on any parade, and are 100% mobile and acoustic. We do not require a stage or sound amplification, but are flexible depending on the nature of your event.
Rates depend on the length of time, instrumentation, and distance. Fill out the form below to get a quote started.

All the successful ballads about good relationships are written with some version of "I Love You Just the Way You Are" -- unless the main squeeze happens to be coach
What he heard a year ago was the familiar refrain of a nag -- change or else -- when Giants ownership presented him with a career ultimatum.
How could the dogmatic man, who, as a Jaguars coach years ago, mocked his rehabbing players by referring to them as the "sick, lame and lazy," suddenly loosen the rivets on his jaw line?
Amazing what an epiphany of self-preservation can do.
"He's pretty set in his ways as an old man," Giants punter
By all DNA accounts, football coaches are particularly resistant to flipping personas, living and breathing as system-driven machinists up to their chinstraps in insecurities. A demand for change is often construed as a threat to the code of head coaching.
Coughlin proved a coach can undergo a makeover without losing his schematic center, supplying the NFL with back-to-back Super Bowl acts of kindness in the world of coaching, offering an encore to the Colts
Are bullies so '90s? Can what worked for crusty Coughlin work for, say,
Could Hoodie change? Should Hoodie change? Owner
"I never sit in judgment of the way others are," Kraft said. "What's more important to me is what people are about at the core. If people were the way I might like them to be, they might not be as good at what they do."
True, Belichick's coaching imagination reveals a level of brilliance that only those with a "Beautiful Mind" can relate to, even though he was outfoxed by the Giants and himself during the Super Bowl.
(His decision to go for it on a fourth-and-13 at the Giants 31 in the third quarter revealed, if nothing else, a personnel decision failure on his part: Belichick had no faith in
The alterations Belichick needs to undergo are not related to his coaching style or player relationships. In a very different scenario from Coughlin's, Belichick may be confronted with his own moment of self-preservation should his legacy go under the knife in another round of Spygate inquiries.
To Belichick, verbal brevity is a virtue. He has tersely referred to the investigation around his team's videotaping habits as a league matter when it is, in fact, a situation he may have to further explain publicly at some point.
In the coming days, Sen.
Whatever Specter's motives -- like grandstanding for his Comcast constituency -- the issue is back and more bizarre than ever. Goodell's people plan to track down
What will Walsh say? How much does he know? He may turn out to be an opportunist looking to capitalize on his story, making him less than credible. But if he has evidence of more wrongdoing by the Patriots, if it turns out Spygate was less an aberration and more of a peephole into the Patriot's cheatin' hearts, Belichick will be in an interesting predicament with his legacy on the line.
It doesn't matter if every other team snoops around opponents illegally or if Jets coach
Few ever jump to come clean in sports, but those who do usually catch a break in public perception. And coaches can, if pushed, show another side of themselves. Coaches can, if under duress, have an epiphany. Coughlin has shown that.
"Nobody thought he could change," said Giants owner
Hoodie is the dictator of all dictators in the NFL. He reveals nothing, hides everything. Depending on what turn Spygate takes next, Belichick may have to decide whether he can change his ways. Ultimately, he may face a choice: open up or else.

Johannesburg - Police on Thursday opened an investigation after two international news agencies set up surveillance cameras outside Nelson Mandela's home at Qunu. Police declined to name the media outlets, but Britain-based Reuters and US news agency the Associated Press (AP) both confirmed they had set up cameras outside the ex-president's home. Spokesperson Vish Naidoo said they could face criminal charges for violating a law that restricts access to sensitive areas.Police removed at least two cameras from a house neighbouring Mandela's home on Monday.Times newspaper said the CCTV cameras had been installed possibly six years ago."We did have a camera and it has been removed," Reuters spokesperson Joanne Crosby told AFP. She declined to comment further.Not spying"The cameras were positioned some time ago, with the knowledge of authorities. The cameras are not turned on. They are not spying on Mr Mandela's home," AP spokesperson Paul Colford said in an email to AFP."They are part of the preparedness that AP and other large news organisations customarily make in the event of a major news story involving a former world leader."Anti-apartheid icon Mandela returned to his rural home in June after being discharged from hospital in January for an acute respiratory infection.The frail 93-year-old's health has sparked intense national and international media attention.His last public appearance was during the closing ceremony of the 2010 World Cup in Johannesburg, where he was wheeled in and waved joyfully to the crowd.2 cameras seized"So far we've managed to recover two cameras in a house in the village not far from Mr Mandela's house," police spokesperson Mzukisi Fatyela told AFP erlier."The cameras were put there without the knowledge of his family or the authorities."Mandela was elected South Africa's first black president in 1994 and served one term before stepping down in 1999.
they been watching us blacks for years,waiting for us to do wrong,while the others are doing wrong,they are missing it,because,they are too hopeful, that they will catch us, Lord have Mercy on these evil people soul's and their families as well.
Mary, you wouldn't be trying to throw the old boring race card thing again would you, because if you are go GET A LIFE!!!. What you must remember is that Madiba is a world icon and statesman extraordinaire, of course every news corporation in the world wants to get a "scoop" if anything interesting happens in Qunu. After all I don't think Madiba has done anything underhand at this stage of his life to warrant spying on, not like the criminals running the country now. Madiba is the glue that is holding this nation together, what's left of it.
@Mary. Do you play the guitar while you sing this golden oldie?
This is rubbish. I do not think that anyone in the world is waiting for an icon like Mandela to do something wrong. I think the opposite is true, everyone watches Mandela for inspiration.
Another great wisdom garnished with "Lord have Mercy". Mary you can't just copy and paste from this book, without reading it compleatly. This book is too big for you and I'll suggest a compleate reading without interference. For all of us that we know from where those words are (don't Google it - is not there and this is not a Chris Rock commedy show)...we woldn't use them to comment cameras around Qunu and Madiba. Media wants to be around this great man. Like ThailandJohn said...he is the glue. The only one that holds this nation together.
The ANC's propaganda machine has blown up Mandela's image to iconic proportions. His publicity was fine when it suited them, now it is back fireing, live with it.
So you condone the breaking of the law by these News Vultures?
Veqi, from where you getting this "breaking the law"? Are you sure that you read the article compleatly?
I agree with you Mary. These people always expect wrong from us yet they are the ones who imported all the wrongs that were never witnessed in these lands before. Then they complain when they are at the receiving end of the evils they invented. Wrongdoing is not our way of life. Our way of life is peaceful co-existence and harmony.
Peaceful co-existence? Xenophobic attacks in May 2009 against immigrants from Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique living in Alexandra?
Can i remind you 21st of May 2009, the President Thabo Mbeki approval for SAPS deployment of armed forces against the attacks in Gauteng?...Veqi, go to Autotrader....
The evil of profiting on the misery of others is unknown to us. It is an imported concept like most evils we experience today. These News Vultures are hoping to rake in billions by airing the breaking news of Mr Mandela's passing. While we mourn these evil people will be rejoicing and laughing all the way to the bank. I hope they pay for this indignity.
What is 'interlectually'? R and L far apart on the keyboard, so no typo.
Lara, what the hell are you talking about?
Don't expect you to understand. An intellectual would surely know how to spell 'intellectual'. Besides, what the hell do you know about integrity?
Veqi, The world knew about Mandela becouse of the mass media or I'm missing sommething here. I told you that you come to the wrong website.
Did I talk about any intellectual? Are you still high on your Whoonga breakfast?
The crime is the one of spying on a sensetive area. I am on the right article.
It is sitting in a fence like preying vultures waiting the calf to fraw it's last breath and then it is time to feast. I have cancelled my subscription to all Reuters information and web-sites. Perhaps it means nothing to them. But, you know it does rekindle memories of the destructive natue of these animals that revel in the name of the paparazzi. Princess Diana comes to mind?
Nope acsteyn, but brings the memory of 31st of August 1997 a car accident in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris where Diana, Princes of Wales and Dodi Fayed died. Diana, Princes of Wales was pregnant from Dodi the son of Mohamed Al-Fayed. Princess of Wales had died as a result of an accident, the conspiracy theories persistently raised by Mohammed al-Fayed and the Daily Express suggested that she was assassinated.
What Reuters subscription you refering acsteyn You don't even know how many Reuters pictures you facing every day. What exactly you cancel?
It's easy to forget 1960's when AP and Reuters was publishing pictures of Nelson Mandela. Well Done South Africa, place criminal charges against them. Is that what you giving them as return?
If I complained about CCTV cameras in my neighourhood would the police do anything about it?
This has everything to do with the R3 million deal between SABC and Mandela's son.

There's a lot of people running Axe right now and either building it or playing it really badly. It's the most obvious easy weapon to play but also probably the most damaging so you can see why noobs gravitate towards it, but honestly it's also really strong when done properly.
Anyway, here's my final solo/random arena Axe build from BWE:
Second Arms trait is the trait that grants Fury on Immobilise.
Massive damage, good survivability, good movement and anti-movement tools.
I did make a video for the build but Fraps decided to record my game sound at about twice the volume of my voice so it's kind of horrible to watch.

The attacks on President Donald Trump are the work of liberals seeking to fight God's plan for the United States, evangelist Pat Robertson said Wednesday.
Speaking on The 700 Club on Christian Broadcasting Network, Robertson said that in the wake of the resignation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, the biggest issue facing America is the leaking of information and the motives behind those leaks.
"The question is, who leaked … who is it that is a holdover from the Obama administration that is trying to destroy President Trump and his aides?" Robertson said.
Advertisement - story continues below
Robertson drew a parallel between the America of today and the Old Testament by referencing the Book of Jeremiah, in which God commanded obedience to King Nebuchadnezzar. He also cited Psalm 2:2, in which the ruling class opposed God and His anointed.
Robertson also noted that liberals and media outlets attacking Trump have been promoting an anti-American agenda.
TRENDING: Meet the Man Who Lives Alone on Top of a 130-Foot Tall Rock
"The Lord's plan is being put in place for America and these people are not only revolting against Trump, they're revolting against what God's plan is for America," Robertson said.

Robertson noted that the attacks against Trump come from the same people who have sought to supplant conservative teachings with liberal dogma.
"These other people have been trying to destroy America. These left-wingers and so-called progressives are trying to destroy the country that we love and take away the freedoms they love," he said.
"They want collectivism. They want socialism. What we're looking at is free markets and freedom from this terrible, overarching bureaucracy. They want to fight as much as they can," Robertson said.
However, Robertson closed on an upbeat note by saying that Trump will prevail.

" … I think the good news is the Bible says, 'He that sits in the heavens will laugh them to scorn,' and I think that Trump's someone on his side that is a lot more powerful than the media," Robertson said.

Could Casanova Survive Today's Dating Game?
While women have remained invested in conventionally feminine interests, the so-called "tactics" of seduction have experienced a dramatic, unfortunate shift away from pleasantries and compliments. To flirt is to neg. Young women almost expect to be insulted by a prospective suitor. The trouble is, it works.

Tera. An action MMORPG, known for its crazy end-game gear grind and action-combat is now ready to make the leap, into the air.
For the last couple of weeks, Tera has slowly been revealing parts of what will be in it's next large update, Secrets and Shadows. As you may or may not have seen, they will be adding the new Elin exclusive class, the Ninja. Here is the teaser video;
It's not like we needed another Elin class (I'm looking at you Reaper) but I guess the Reaper did well enough that En Masse wanted another one. Unlike the Reaper, the Ninja wil be like any other class, starting at level one and having to go through the beginning areas. As you can see, they specialize in deceptive skills and speed, making them potentially broken against slower classes in PvP. But, that's to be expected from any new class. Fingers crossed that they're balanced enough on launch.
The expansion will also feature new story elements that bring along new dungeons with it. The Demokron Factory, a level 65, 7-player raid dungeon, and the Shadow Sanguinary, a regular, 5-man level 65 dungeon. There is also the introduction of the Celestial Arena. The "Celestial Arena offers 12 waves of random monsters that will test your skill, determination, and solo prowess". Its a single-player, level 65 dungeon. One can only wonder what the rewards from this one will be and no doubt there will be a monthly or weekly leader board attached to it as well.
Perhaps the most exciting part about this whole new patch is the addition of flying mounts into Arun.
After completing a level 65 questline, TERA players will be granted a permanent flying mount they can use to get a birds-eye view of "free-fly" zones. – Tera Online
As we can see in the video there are multiple mounts available. Like the starting mounts I'm willing to bet the Pegasus mount is the standard mount, with the lion mounts being cash shop exclusives. The video here doesn't show too much, but if you look at videos of the Korean game, it looks like there is a boost/sprint gauge while you are flying. I hope there isn't a limit to how much I can fly!
Secrets and Shadows will be available in Tera this month (May 2016).
Willing to come back to Tera yet? What do you think about flying mounts? What do you think about another Elin class? Let us know in the comments!

CR. ENGLAND INC. They violated my Human Rights & Discriminated against me as a Woman West Valley City Utah
*UPDATE Employee ..inside information: A very unfortunate experience
*UPDATE EX-employee responds: cr england is slime
*Consumer Comment: CONTACT THE EEOC ABOUT THIS AND GET A LAWYER, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR "TRAINING" LIKE THIS
*Consumer Comment: "M" - Feel Fortunate...
I called CR England and I was on my way. I picked up a prepaid bus ticket and arrived in Ontario Ca. to start school on Monday morning. Here I am on my way to accomplish my career goal.
What a nightmare it became, 75 to 100 people showed up for class barely enough room to sit. By the time we go through the whole process of interrogation, meaning being told that after our drug testing ect.
We will be speaking to thier detective an X police officer. So if we have anything in our past to hide including smoking marijuna that we had better come clean with it.
The guy was a complete idiot and very rude at that. The whole process was a mental game that they play.
After all of this process is completed there were only around 25 or so left in my class. Including myself.
Ok! on with the teachings after all the paperwork is finished. First we have classroom with videos and learning about truck driving.
We are given tests to prepare us for our class A permit. It is a very short time to learn all that is needed to know. So I studied all day and most of the night.
I woke up studying out of a sound sleep. I worked hard. We then go to DMV take our test for our permit. Congratulations! I passed. On to the yard I go.
To learn my skills. Which consists of docking, pull-ups and backing along with parallel parking.
We are put into groups to learn each of these skills, We are taught ONE time with each skill by two instructors. Told to get into the truck and do it.
Now, I forgot to tell you most of these instructors are retired military so it is like a bootcamp. Do it the first time or all hell breaks loose and the intimidation and yelling begins.
What a nightmare! Now also remember that I am to pay $3,000 for this brow beating along with having to go to the yard after hours and teach myself my skills.
Now! we go out with a different instructor and drive on the streets, to teach us our in traffic skills along with on ramps and off ramps freeway driving. Down shifting ect.
There are 4 of us per tractor. We all take our turn and have paperwork testing when our driving is over for the day..I was the only one that did not want the answers. Oh Yes! Didn't I tell you that the instructors give us the answers.
There was one instructor that did not give answers. Bless his heart. He did it by the book.
Ok! Now it is time to take our test for our Class A license. Which includes a pre-trip and skills test. No answers are given here! I gave my 100%. Yes I passed. I now have my class A.
Now it is time for Phase 1 & Phase 2 - 30 days for each phase for more training. Utah terminal calls me telling me they have a driver trainer for me up there
Off I go to finish up my training. 5 hours layover at greyhound in vegas. slept on the dirty floor until the bus came. I arrived late at night therefore I was tired.
I arrive in Salt lake city Utah, was picked up by the shuttle bus taken to the terminal. Was given a key for a room. went upstairs opened the door and the smell of filth almost knocked me out.
Ther were piles of clothes all over the dorm room along with expired food and garbage everywhere.
I took the key back downstairs and informed the front desk that I would sleep in the tv room due to the room being the way it was.
The lady that does work for the school went and checked the room out and told the people to give me another room due to the condition of the other room.
I then preceded to go to another room which consists of 8 women 8 beds. My driver trainer did not show up for 2 days. In that time I became aware of people eating noodles due to them being stuck with no runs.
Having to use thier money to eat and completely doing without. I am speaking of employees at England having no money and no food. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Oh yes! There is a restaurant, a store, a movie theatre, a pool room, a TV room, a sprint dealership. Big deal. There are alot things going on that are pushed under the carpet and not discussed.
My driver trainer finally showed up and off I go for 30 days with a man I know nothing about. Fine I say, I want to get this over with and get on to my next phase.
Along with this phase 1 driver trainer comes an evaluation sheet about my teachings and my progress. We are taught in school that no apprentice will drive after 12 midnight.
Due to it being the most dangerous time to drive. Well here I go. I am told to drive and it is around 1 or 2 am. I drove until the sun came up. No problem I say to myself I just want to get this over with.
After awhile I am being cursed at, yelled out and told It didn't matter what I was taught in school I am in his truck now and things will be done his way. Including not telling the truth with the log books.
I got fed up with the yelling, him in my face the cheating with the logs and jumped off the truck in Montana. Paid for my motel for 2 days until the company could get me bac to the Utah Terminal.
I tried to tell the company staff about the verbal abuse and the fake logs No one would listen. I told them I was taught to be professional and to go by the book and It wasn't being done.
Again No One listened. Thet preceded to set me up with another driver trainer I asked this time for a woman. Due to the verbal abuse ect.
Here again they didn't listen. Thet set me up with another man. Here I go again. The guy informs me he is a recovered crack addict but could do some drugs and walk away.
Again there is verbal abuse and the only time I can drive it seems is when he gets tired. I was being yelled at and treated very bad. May I add I do not need someone yelling in my face,
so close that I can feel thier breath on my cheek. My logs again were being messed with to suit them. Was I being taught anything on my evaluation sheet? NO!
Was I a bad driver? NO! Did I want to learn all that I could to perform my tasks to give 100% and above? Yes! The Driver trainers that Iwas with used me for making money off of my miles.
They I feel did not conduct themselves in a professional manner. I was physically touched. Verbally abused and refused to take anymore. Iwas told by my second driver trainer that my downshifting was bad.
And the only time I did well with it was when He got in my face and made me very upset. Why? I asked, Do you feel that is the case. Why, should it be the case?
Going back to Utah yard he informed me he was going to tell the training cordinator that I needed more training on my down shifting. That he could not teach me any further on what I needed to know. Another head trip!
I got out of his truck. Enough is Enough! I could go on and on and on. They sent me another driver trainer another male and I conducted my own interview. He failed. I was sent a train ticket home.
My God! What a nightmare! And I have unreported miles driven and hours missing. Violations due to the 1st driver trainer not turning in my evaluation sheet.
And my second driver trainer finished filling out my evaluation sheet after I got off his truck. I have my evaluation sheets. And being on the road 14 or 15 days.
Going over 10,000 miles driving the cabbage patch and a few others driving over black ice, Through snow and blizzards. Through rain so bad I couldn't hardly seethe zipper.
Here I am being charged $3,000 for a school that did not complete teaching me. They only care about making money. Not people that want to learn andbe taught in a professional manner.
And may I say I have my evaluation sheets and not even one set-up did I or was I able to do. It was only to point A and point B. Money off of my miles.
If there is anyone out there that is as upset as I am and knows how to get a class action lawsuit going I would LOVE to hear from you. I welcome any lawyers to PLEASE call me.

#1 UPDATE Employee ..inside information
A very unfortunate experience
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 05, 2015POSTED: Thursday, March 05, 2015
While, like many, I came to CR England to realize a dream of mine, the experience was not what many of my peers expected. There were in fact many restless nights of studying, many packages of ramen noodles eaten, and many trips to a drinking fountain to refill my water bottle. You may or may not be thinking to yourself how unpleasant such a temporary lifestyle sounds. Herein lies the salt. This company has shown me something that I have actually known my entire life. If you want something, you have to be willing to work for it. And boy let me tell you, anyone who makes it into an England truck will have earned those keys. We used to joke amongst ourselves in class that it was more of a CDL boot camp. Yes, there is a lot of material to digest in a short time period. However, this company does and always has given each and every student every tool, every resource, and every opportunity to leap and bound, successfully mind you, into this career field. As far as the negative experience with training goes, all I can say is shame on those trainers and on behalf of every other trainer that toils every day to help their apprentices become the best of the best, I am incredibly sorry that one, two, or even three individuals took it upon themselves to treat you so poorly. You deserve better and I can say with surety that England believes the exact same. Unfortunately, the trainers behavior reflected on the company in your eyes. This type of treatment is not what the trainer culture at CR England stands for, nor is it what the company stands for as a whole. As a Phase I instructor, I take my responsibility to each one of my students ridiculously serious. You come onto my assigned truck and you rely on me completely to show you, in actual practice, everything you learned on paper while you were a student at PTDS, all in a safe, neutral, learning conducive and nurturing atmosphere. Reaching Phase I is a milestone and you should be respected for your hard work and dedication. And at least on my truck, you would have been. My whole point here is simply this; a few negative experiences is not what this company is. This company is a culture of safety, service, quality of life, and productivity. This is in fact my opinion based on my personal experience. If you did in fact have such a terrible experience, I would encourage you to take action against the individuals that treated you so poorly, with reassurance that with proper investigation, this company will stand behind what is right and what is true. They have for the better part of a century, and I assure you that they will today as well. On a closing note, I encourage you to not give up on driving. This profession is loaded with people who are absolutely clueless. Be one of the few who make it better. This isn't easy and no one who is at least honest will ever guarantee you a million dollars, but at England you can be sure that they have your back, and with due diligence, you will progress.

cr england is slime
AUTHOR: fishy75503 - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 06, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, November 06, 2013
this person tells the 100 % truth but undortunately i did not listen and had tunnel vision. i musts say i had dreams about being a truck driver but after my experience CR england trainer took all that away. when your trainor is driving down colorado mountains and uses cell phone up to his ears and down shifts with one hand and pust his elbow on steering wheel. that made me very unsafe. i got off truck and posted on here so read my story and yes you can file a EEOC charge with the EEOC commission. I encourage every one do this then maybe someone will do something about this company. I had a trainor physical and verbal abuse me and i got off in salt lake. then called Driver manage who did nothing about this but only say he need to get freight hauled. i told him not with me on that truck and went home. i was depressed for days and finally been seeing a therapists.

CR England has never been a company that screens their trainers. More often than not, the trainers they pair newbies with, have not been driving but for a few months themselves.
It must be quite a culture shock, coming from other lines of work to be subjected to the treatment that they dish out.
People....stay away from this company. There is nothing but abuse and exploitation in your future if you allow them to get their hooks in you.

Rumble Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
These items will give u very high amounts of AP late and early, I also included Will of The Ancients for the spell vamp to heal, which also gives the aura to your nearby allies. The Abyssal Scepter also will give a magic reist debuff to nearby enemy champions, also incresing your magic resist as well. Rylais will give you AP and Health, and allows the use of your abilities to slow enemy champions. Since Rumble basically has spammable abilites, your can easily slow down your target in no time.
My runes are set up specially for AP rumble. You will be able to dish out extremely high amounts of damage, even though you are not tanky.
Summoner Spells
For Rumble I would definitely chose exhaust and ghost. Ghost can be used with Rumble's Scrap Sheild, to make it easier to chase or flee. Exhaust can help you with various fights.
Team Work
Rumble is a very good team player if you can grab his Ulti and Flamespitter at right times. Try to make your ulti hit all of the enemy champions in team fights.

To fish or not to fish? Resource degradation and income diversification in Benin
This paper looks at the relationship between natural resource degradation and income diversification for fishing communities in southern Benin. We find that the higher the degradation of the fishery stock, the more fishers diversify their income away from the fishery sector. However, given the rapid natural resource degradation, the level of income diversification that we find is surprisingly low and far from sufficient to relieve the stress on the lakes. In explaining the low level of income diversification, our results suggest that education plays a role.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Outright Libertarians Executive Committee Comments on Bob Barr's Declaration of Candidacy for the Libertarian Nomination
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO, SEATTLE, KNOXVILLE, PHILADELPHIA and ATLANTA -- This Monday, former Congressman (and recent LNC committee member) Bob Barr announced his candidacy for the Libertarian Nomination for President of the United States.
Many of you are wondering where Outright Libertarians stands on this recent development, and the short answer is this: our position has not changed.
We continue to strongly support Dr. George Phillies as our endorsed candidate. Dr. Phillies has shown the courage, character and commitment that Outright's membership seeks in a presidential nominee. A longtime Libertarian activist and longtime supporter of equality under the law for all people (including LGBT Americans), Dr. Phillies has established an enviable record of achievement in the fight for liberty.
His platform includes uncompromising support for the rights of LGBT Americans in military service, marriage, immigration, adoption, and tax treatment. He has been an implacable foe of the Defense of Marriage Act and the military's anti-gay recruitment policy since their inception. Most importantly, he has led important initiatives to fight for us everyday, while bringing the message of the Libertarian Party to LGBT people. We can think of no finer candidate, and are proud to reinforce our support for Dr. Phillies' candidacy.
Regarding Mr. Barr, we find that though he has shown some welcome evolution on the issues, he has a record that remains notably different from the other Libertarians in the race. Mr. Barr has not completed Outright's Candidate Survey, but is "on the record" regarding two issues key within the LGBT Libertarian community and the broader LGBT electoral base.
First, while we applaud the former Congressman's repudiation in the Wall Street Journal of the anti-gay military policy, and the evolution that this represents for Mr. Barr, his opinion on this issue simply moved into the Libertarian mainstream -- rather than pushing the debate forward. Every Libertarian candidate who has answered our survey -- plus Dr. Mary Ruwart (who has not yet answered our survey but is "on the record" on this issue) -- shares that view.
On the Defense of Marriage Act -- an odious law that Bob Barr co-sponsored as a Congressman -- his evolution has been far slower. We have discussed the law with him a number of times, and recently he has telegraphed support for repealing the half of the law that creates a federal definition of marriage. However, he has not consistently campaigned on this point, and seems reluctant to speak of it. An example of this reluctance may be heard at approximately 16:30 in the linked Atlanta radio interview with Mr. Barr.
In contrast, Democratic nomination candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has adopted a similar position, yet appears more willing to campaign upon it. Barack Obama has declared that he would repeal the law altogether.
Every Libertarian candidate who has completed our survey, as well as Dr. Ruwart, goes a major step further by calling for repeal of the law.
We believe that the difference between the Democratic and the Libertarian commitments on this issue is that while the two Democrats talk about doing something (despite a multi-year do-nothing record as Senators), Libertarians will fight from day one for us. We are not yet convinced that Mr. Barr would fight vigorously to promote his reluctantly-expressed position, a problem given that his position is the most statist of the serious Libertarian candidates in this race.
We welcome Bob Barr's engagement with the Libertarian Party, and are always delighted to welcome new Libertarians into the movement. We look forward to continuing to work with him as an LNC member or in any other role he takes within our Party. However, we must hold our presidential candidates to the highest possible standards, for the benefit of both our Party and LGBT Americans. In this regard, we believe that Bob Barr has quite a bit of work to do in order to enter the mainstream on LGBT issues in comparison to the other declared Libertarian candidates in this race. Just as many of us did when we first joined the LP, he needs to "steep in the brine of Liberty" for a while longer before running for nomination as our Party's standard-bearer.
Further, we note that regardless of who is nominated, the Libertarian Party will perform an invaluable service to the queer community in this election cycle -- even if the delegates ignore Outright's endorsement of George Phillies and instead choose Bob Barr as the Libertarian Party's nominee, the silver lining for the LGBT community will be that a Barr candidacy will almost certainly spoil any possible victory by John McCain.
In summary, recent news has only reinforced our commitment to Dr. George Phillies, and we encourage Outright members and supporters -- as well as all Libertarian Party convention delegates -- to support his candidacy in Denver with their votes, their ideas, and every other resource at their disposal.
About Outright: Outright Libertarians is the largest association of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Libertarian Party supporters. With hundreds of members across the United States, it is the intellectual and policy hub of the LGBT libertarian movement, serving as the voice for LGBT Americans within the Libertarian Party as well as a voice for Libertarian candidates in the LGBT community. Its web site is http://www.outrightusa.org.

Bosch - Random-Orbit Sander 1295DVS
Bosch offers a comparable sander as model No. 1250DEVS.
Bosch's sander, model 1295DVS, reminds me of a midsize car that's well built but doesn't quite have all the power you want. I thought it sanded less aggressively than my older Bosch random-orbit sander, which has virtually the same amperage. Nevertheless, the 2.2-amp motor did an adequate job sanding mill marks out of oak and cleaning up veneer plywood.
The 1295DVS is a variable-speed sander that operates from 7,000 to 12,000 rpm. Model 1295D is identical, except it runs at a single speed: 12,000 rpm. The sander can reach into the corners of cabinets and other tight places. And because it's lightweight, there's less fatigue on the user.
This model comes equipped with a new and unusual pleated microfilter. When the filter was clean, the 1295DVS did a great job of collecting dust. But once the surface of the filter became saturated with dust, the dust-collection effectiveness of the sander was quickly reduced.
The manual suggests cleaning this filter often, but I found the process to be annoying, especially when faced with sanding a lot of wood, as I often do. If you're really concerned about dust, consider the vacuum-hose accessory.

Phase 1/2 Open-Label, Multiple-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of SNS01-T Administered by Intravenous Infusion in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma, or Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
The main purpose is to test the safety and tolerability of SNS01-T. The first group of
patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma will be given a relatively low dose.
If tolerated, a second group will receive a higher dose. If tolerated by the second group,
a third and then a fourth group will receive higher doses. Treatment-related adverse events
(side effects), changes in vital signs, physical examination, and laboratory values will be
monitored. Patients will receive twice weekly infusions for 6 weeks and then will be
followed monthly for 6 months. A secondary purpose is to explore whether SNS01-T is an
effective treatment for multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma and diffuse large B cell
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Safety and tolerability
Safety and Tolerability assessed by frequency, severity, and duration of treatment-related adverse events, changes in vitals signs, physical exams and lab values

Just like a modern day Peel Sessions, except recorded in Illinois and broadcast online instead of the BBC, Daytrotter has been a reliable source for live-in-the-studio recordings of our favorite artists. This time up at the mic are Portland's own Dead Trees, a great, Stones-y band who have perhaps found greater success out of town than here at home. At this four-song session, they try out a couple brand new numbers, including the pace-changing "D.R.C. 1991" and the wonderful "Unfortunately for Her" which boasts an arc-ing melody that could come from a late-'60s classic UK single.
The Dead Trees - "Unfortunately for Her" (live at Daytrotter)
Check out the whole session here.
