OKLAHOMA CITY -- The lights went dim inside Chesapeake Energy Arena late in the second quarter, and soon thereafter, the lights went out on the Clippers.
They were lighted up by the Oklahoma City combination of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, who were the catalysts in leading the Thunder past the Clippers, 112-101, Wednesday night in Game 2.
Durant and Westbrook, who had a triple-double, combined for 63 points, 22 rebounds and 19 assists, and the Clippers returned home with the best-of-seven Western Conference playoff series tied at 1-1.
Game 3 is Friday night at Staples Center
"It's hard, but that's why their names are Westbrook and Durant," Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said. "They're very good players."
The Clippers knew Durant would be energized, that he would have the crowd worked into a frenzy once he received his most-valuable-player trophy from the NBA before the game.
The plan was for the Clippers to try to withstand the surge from Durant, but he finished with 32 points on 10-for-22 shooting, 12 rebounds and nine assists.
Westbrook was equally as effective, finishing with 31 points on 13-for-22 shooting, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Westbrook also had six offensive rebounds.
"They are both really good players," Thunder Coach Scott Brooks said. "They play off one another very well."
The Clippers didn't get the same production in Game 2 that they received in their Game 1 blowout.
Chris Paul had 17 points and 11 assists. But he also had five fouls and was called for a technical foul while sitting on the bench in the fourth quarter.
Blake Griffin struggled with his shot, scoring 15 points on five-for-13 shooting.
"They were just aggressive," Paul said about the Thunder. "I think Russ [Westbrook] probably played harder than all of us combined. He was all over the place. We've got to play better."
The lights dimmed with 27.2 seconds left in the second quarter and the Clippers trailing 61-56, stopping the action. They did have the basketball, though.
After the lights were unable to get turned back to their regular wattage, both coaches agreed to finish the first half with the lights down lower.
And all of this happened with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in attendance to present Durant his MVP trophy.
Finally, during halftime, the lights came back on to full capacity.
But the Clippers never quite got back into the game in the third quarter.
After Thabo Sefolosha (14 points) made a wide-open jumper for a 12-point Thunder lead in the third quarter, Rivers called a 20-second timeout.
A little over a minute later, Serge Ibaka scored on a wide-open dunk, drawing the ire of Rivers toward his players.
He quickly called a second timeout with 4:37 left in the third and his team down by 11 points.
It would only get worse for the Clippers.
They gave up 33 points in the third and trailed by as much as 20 points at 93-73.
"We knew they were going to come with it and they should," Rivers said about the Thunder. "But you've got to do it back and I didn't think we did it back. We weren't very physical tonight. Mentally, I didn't think we were very tough tonight either."

Cullets are especially prevelant in 19th-century paperweights and in many paperweights that are mainland China-made. You'll find them in Boston & Sandwich and New England Glass Company antiques. There are even classic French weights with cullets in them. I rarely see cullets in weights by most contemporaries. Never saw one in a Rosenfeld or a Stankard or a Trabucco or a Tarsitano or a Kaziun or a Perthshire or D'Albret or modern Baccarats or contemporary St. Louis.Cullets look like little bits of "rock" or a rocklike substance floating in the glass dome, sometimes close to the canes or lampwork setting, sometimes simply drifting about the glass. They are actually very tiny touches of glassmaking material that didn't quite melt or fuse.

From page 4 of http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,1179.45.html[By KevH - in connection with flaws in paperweights]2. Pieces of "Frit" These appear as white or silvery irregular shaped lumps. Sometimes they can be quite large and easily noticeable from a distance. Others can hardly be seen. This is the result of crystalisation within the glass - another problem of temperature control or perhaps pieces from the ceramic pot getting mixed in the batch. I have some weights with large pieces of "frit" and these fall into my category of "academically acceptable" even though they are visually imperfect. Depending on the current (or perceived) rarity of a design, I am sometimes prepared to pay reasonable sums for weights with a bit of "frit".[By Adam D. - in response]Warning - the following will cause acute boredom but, KevH, you asked for it! Kev - Your "pieces of frit". Nothing wrong with the term, meaning unmelted raw material - usually bits of sand. However, "frit" was only for some reason used by Pilkingtons - all the rest of us called it "batch". I haven't a clue why, in hindsight I like the Pilks word better. However, Kev, anything crystallising out from an originally clear glass (usually by holding it in a specific temperature range too long) is called "devitrification" (don't blame me). Generically, any foreign body in the glass, whether devit., unmelted batch/frit or bits of furnace are simply called "stones" or, in a few obscure places in NE England, "salts". I did warn you!

Immediately preceding his arrival at Willamette, Thorsett was a professor and former chair of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He also served as the dean of its Division of Physical and Biological Sciences, leading a unit roughly comparable to Willamette in terms of budget and numbers of faculty, staff and students. In addition to traditional math and science departments, his division included a nationally recognized graduate certificate program in science writing, and he led the development of the successful California Teach program supporting future K–12 teachers. As dean, he hired nearly 50 new faculty who won dozens of national awards as distinguished young scholars. It is the support of this next generation of faculty leaders that Thorsett notes as his most important and rewarding contribution to UC Santa Cruz.
During his academic career, Thorsett taught broadly in both physics and astronomy and has authored or co-authored more than 100 scientific publications, focusing on the late stages of stellar evolution. His work examines radio pulsars, general relativity in binary star systems, neutron stars, planets orbiting pulsars and highly energetic gamma ray bursts. Among his many accomplishments, Thorsett co-discovered the oldest known planet, popularly dubbed "the Methuselah planet." As students, he and four friends wrote a graduate physics textbook for Princeton University Press that remains in print, and he has edited three scientific conference volumes.
Before moving to UC Santa Cruz, Thorsett worked as an assistant professor of physics at Princeton University and a research fellow at Caltech. He was an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and received the Fullam Award of the Dudley Observatory. He also earned a number of fellowships and other honors while completing his master's and doctorate in physics at Princeton and his bachelor's in mathematics with honors at Carleton College, from which he graduated summa cum laude.
Thorsett grew up in Salem. He is the son of Karen and Grant Thorsett, a long-time Willamette University biology professor. Thorsett attended Salem public schools, and graduated from South Salem High School, where four years at the slow end of the cross country team led him to a lifetime of running; among many other races, he's participated in two Hood to Coast Relays, two marathons and a triathlon.
Thorsett serves on the board for the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and on the Marion County Children and Families Commission. He is married to Rachel Dewey Thorsett, an astrophysicist and an affiliated scholar in physics at Willamette. Thorsett and his wife have one daughter, Laura who is a freshman at Harvard.

Thanks Betty! These are great tips!!ReplyDelete
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!Delete
As a musician - these are great even for me to read - to reinforce what I already do with my kids - and to remember to keep it consistent and to be supportive. One thing I read from musician Victor Wooten - was to be sure to expose kids to "professional" musicians - be it through recordings or live music. Children learn to speak with many professional "speakers" of whatever language is taught at home - but sometimes with music we forget that they too will learn and excel by being able to "jam", or play, or accompany experienced musicians whenever possible. This could be in an informal setting. But if they have the opportunity to ever sit down with experienced musicians - try to make that an opportunity they can have during their early musical careers because they will learn so much by watching and listening to them.
I'm so glad this helped! Thank you for that added tip. I'm looking everywhere and telling Diego when I find that someone plays an instrument (a friend's parent, for example) but now I will keep that in mind that he would benefit from playing with someone as well!ReplyDelete

As a lover of music and my husband being in the music entertainment business, I knew my children would grow up to love music as well. Lia expressed her love for singing and music at a very young age. She has been taking piano lessons for 4 years and voice lessons for 2 1/2 years. Lia and Angie are in a children's choir and they both started playing the violin in their school's orchestra this year. Franco has recently voiced his interest in learning to play the guitar, so that instrument might be next. As you can see, I too see the important and benefits of music. I think it's time one of my kids teach me how to play an instrument or read music. ;-)ReplyDelete
That's amazing Carol! No fear from you! I can hear your home now! Thanks for sharing!Delete

Summer Hours is a film about death
and uncomplicated grief. It is also about families and the
relationship between adult siblings thrown together at a time of
shared crisis as they sort out the possessions and property of
their deceased parent. It touches on the issue of how we plan for
our death. In French, with English subtitles, it was directed by
Olivier Assayas, in 2008.
The project was originally commissioned as
part of a series of short films intended to celebrate the
20th anniversary of the Musee
d'Orsay in Paris (an art museum housing works from
1848 to 1914).
However when the museum project collapsed,
Assayas remained drawn to the subject and developed his ideas into
a full-length film.
He chose the title Summer Hours (the
original title in French, L'Heure d'été , actually
translates as the summer hour) to reflect the notion of transience
in both nature and life. The film examines the interface between
art and life and focuses on the dual role of artistic objects as
heirlooms and as historical artifacts. It explores how emotional
memories become associated with objects in their journey through
families and how important those objects may become during the
grieving process. Beautifully filmed, and with a wonderful
soundtrack, this is a vivid, yet gentle, family drama that portrays
individuals from different generations dealing with death and its
This is a film that I do not wish to describe
in too much detail. Summer Hours must be experienced,
regardless of the fact that it is spoken in another language. In
fact, the universal emotions portrayed are the reason that I
recommend it. I will set the scene by outlining the main players in
the story. We are first introduced to three generations of a family
at Helene's idyllic country home, not far from Paris. The family
has gathered to celebrate her 75th birthday. We soon
learn that she has three children; her eldest son Frederic, an
economist and university professor in Paris; her daughter Adrienne,
a designer working in New York and her youngest son Jeremie, a
successful businessman working in China. Both sons are married with
children whose ages range from teenage to toddler. Helene's uncle,
Paul Berthier, now dead, was a famous artist who lived and worked
at the family home and was responsible for acquiring some of the
art collection that fills the rooms. Helene has been committed to
preserving the memory of her uncle for many years.
Summer Hours sensitively depicts
death in a family and examines minutely the period that follows the
sudden loss. It shows us the painful process of dismantling a life
suddenly suspended at the point of death, a task that is central to
the process of grieving. Through the course of the film, it
examines the varied responses of people from different generations
as they deal with their grief. All of them, it appears, suffer from
uncomplicated grief. As well as losing a family member,
there are objects and a place that must be given up, portraying the
complexity of the processes involved in bereavement. Where a family
home must be relinquished, the severing of an attachment to
childhood may have to be negotiated, introducing another important
hurdle that must be overcome.
I suspect that most viewers will identify with
the emotions portrayed in this film because loss is a universal
phenomenon. Anyone working with the bereaved will recognize how
important it is for an individual to work at their own pace when
sorting through the deceased's belongings and affairs. For anyone
seeking to gain a greater knowledge and understanding of
uncomplicated bereavement and grief this film could provide an
excellent starting point for further discussion. Summer
Hours does all of this without being gloomy or overly
For anyone seeking more information about the
topic of grief and bereavement there is an excellent
leaflet produced by the Royal College of Psychiatrists on the
The psychiatrist Colin
Murray Parkes has spent a lifetime working in the
field of attachment and loss. His
Bereavement: Studies of Grief in Adult Life
(now in third new edition, published by Penguin in 1998), remains a
classic work. More recently his interest has focused on the nature
of early attachment bonds that may influence the patterns of grief
expressed by an individual in adult life, especially when grief is
pathological. This subject, the result of his lifetime's work, is
presented in the book
Love and Loss (published by Routledge, 2006).
His central tenet is that loving and grieving are like the flip
sides of a coin and that we cannot have one without the other. The
price we pay for loving is the inevitability of grieving. The risk
of losing the loved person is one that we must take in order to
obtain the riches of intimacy. The nature of the bond formed will
determine how we deal with the breaking of that bond.
In Summer Hours it seems that all
three of Helene's children have positive but varied experiences of
growing up, and have developed into successful independent adults,
able to cope well with her passing.
For psychiatrists, it might also be
interesting to follow the discussions currently taking place about
the proposed changes in the new ICD-11 and DSM-V systems of
classification of mental disorders, with regard to grief. In DSM-V
there is a suggested revision that will remove the bereavement
exclusion criteria for Major Depressive Disorder with, some say,
the potential to give an unnecessary psychiatric diagnosis to
certain bereaved individuals. In another proposal, a new category
of prolonged grief disorder is suggested, in both ICD-11 and DSM-V,
following a study published in the open access PLoS journal by
Prigerson HG, Horowitz MJ, Jacobs SC, Parkes CM et al
Prolonged grief disorder: Psychometric validation criteria
proposed for DSM-5 and ICD-11,
(2009). This new category would be distinct from other forms of
pathological grief response and allow for the detection and
treatment of a specific group of people at risk of persistent
dysfunction and suffering six months after bereavement.
Perhaps the greatest challenge will always be
to recognize the difference between uncomplicated 'healthy' grief
(which is not a mental disorder), and pathological grief, so that
those needing help are offered it. Summer Hours
offers viewers an exquisite portrait of certain aspects of healthy
grief and the practical issues that the recently bereaved often

Freddie Owens is a soft spoken Army veteran who survived what some refer to as the bloodiest ambush on American forces during the Vietnam War.
"What I remember so distinctly, it is sort of ingrained in you, are the faces," said Mr. Owens recalling more than 150 soldiers killed in that ambush.
In the study of his Knoxville home, the one-time squad leader is surrounded by pictures, books and medals he has received that mark his role in that and other battles. In the on-camera portion of our interview, he recalled the events of the ambush at Albany in the Ia Drang Valley and the book-turned-movie that helped explain the level of chaos, death and heroism that collided in that part of Vietnam in November 1965.
At age 72, Mr. Owens grew up in the South during the Civil Rights Movement and volunteered for the Army at age 19. In the military, Mr. Owens said he does not recall seeing the same racism that he did in civilian life, but there were not many black leaders in the higher ranks.
"You didn't have that much racism disparity as far as treatment was concerned. My company commander was black. He was the only black company commander in the battalion," said Mr. Owens.
Another memory Mr. Owens shared centered on his homecoming after 13 months in combat.
"Coming into San Diego they (our commanders) told us that we need to take our uniforms off," recalled Owens.
At the time, the military was concerned that soldiers who were at war in a foreign jungle just 18 hours before, would be berated by war protesters and incite a fresh confrontation on the home front.
Years after his service in the jungle, Mr. Owens continues to help raise money for college scholarships that help pay the way for families of the fallen at Ia Drang, to earn a college degree.
In addition to our on camera interview Mr. Owens agreed to answer 10 questions about how his military service influenced his life.
1. What one person influenced you most in life?
Probably Martin Luther King, Jr. He was the focal point of the Civil Rights Movement that I participated in. He had a good deal of impact on the way I carry myself.
2. Do you feel honored and respected for serving your country?
Yes and no. I would say yes, when speaking about those around me who know where I have been, yes. But many folks just aren't aware and don't necessarily show an interest in wanting to hear about it
3. How can people thank you for your service?
Just by saying, "thank you for your service." That's all I need and it is more than enough.
4. How do you honor your fellow service men and women?
I honor them by being the best person I can possibly be and bringing them aid and assistance whenever I am needed. I am here to help.
5. How do you think this generation of military men and women is different or similar to yours?
They're not any different. They are being treated as heroes much more like the World War II veterans. We weren't treated with respect when we came back from Vietnam.
6. What influence did your military service have on the rest of your life?
It had a great influence. It gave me the ability to go back to school and get a better education. It gave me a foothold on understanding other cultural and ethnic groups by spending time with them in the military.
7. Does your family have a history of military service?
Grandfather served in WWI.
Father served in WWII.
Two children, my daughter and my son served in Desert Storm.
8. Would you encourage younger generations in your family to join the service?
I would encourage them but it is their decision. There is nothing more worthy in this world than serving your country. If you are going to live in a country that is free, there are going to have to be sacrifices.
9. How has your opinion of war changed?
It has not changed that much. But I think you have to experience it to understand what it is truly about. For those of us who have been in combat, it is something we don't want anyone else to experience.
10. How did your military experience shape your religious faith?
That is a tough question. I went to Vietnam as a Christian. I came back in between being a Christian and an Atheist. It took me 35 years to come back to the church.
When you see your fellow man dying on the ground you ask why I survived and others didn't. It is not easy to come to terms with that question.

"There is a strong market need for access to quality training, delivered in French, for ARM core-based system designers," said Chris Shore, ATC Program manager at ARM, "The appointment of MVD as an ARM Approved Training Center will enable our Partners in France to achieve the level of service they need to bring their products to market quickly."
MVD has acknowledged expertise in the field of FPGA designs using ARM technology and this will bring another dimension to the ARM core-based training available to all designers of ARM Powered® systems.
"We have welcomed this opportunity to join the growing community of ARM training Partners," said Edgard Garcia, founder and managing director at MVD. "As more of our customers seek to use ARM technology in their designs, the support we receive from ARM will enable us to meet their training needs."
The ATC program now includes eight companies worldwide and has facilitated significant net growth in ARM training activity. Each member company brings different skills and expertise to the program, which increases the variety of ARM training available to all developers.
About the ARM ATC Program
The ATC program has been established to satisfy the growing demand for training in ARM technology for ARM semiconductor Partners, OEMs and design centers worldwide. Through the program, ARM recruits and works with a network of approved Partners who are trained, qualified, and equipped with ARM material and software tools, enabling them to provide high-quality, certified training into their own markets and regions.
ATC partners must go through a strict qualification process to become an ARM Approved Training Center. This includes an assessment of their success in the marketplace, intensive training for their teaching staff, and a facilities audit. All ATC partners are continuously monitored to ensure that the quality of training remains high.
Current ARM Approved Training Centers include Microconsult GmbH in Munich, Germany; Mikroelektronik Akademie in Hanover, Germany; Phoenix Technologies in Tel Aviv, Israel; Vitals Systems in South Korea; Finesse IT Partners in Taiwan; Yokogawa Digital Computer in Japan; ANDOR System Support in Japan.

Help the Jeske Family (and Yourself)
If you've ever met Dave
Jeske at Blue Spruce Toolworks, then you don't have to read the next
sentence. You already know he is one of the nicest, most honest and
talented toolmakers working today.
Jeske sent out his tool
newsletter this week and there was a new item offered: tool rolls. I saw
Jeske's personal tool rolls at Woodworking in America and they are
sweet. They were made by his now-17-year-old daughter Hannah, and he
wasn't selling them.
Now Hannah is making the tool rolls for sale
in three sizes to help fund a class trip to Washington, D.C. The rolls
are made from cotton duck, have room for 12 tools and have flaps to
protect the blades (very important in my book).
The tool rolls
are $30 each for the small and medium sizes, and $35 for the large. They
are going to be available for a limited time. So do what I did: Get on
your keyboard, order one for yourself and help Hannah get to our
nation's capitol.
You can read all about the tool rolls and order one at the Blue Spruce web site.
— Christopher Schwarz
Finally, a cause I can support.

A Miami jury returned a $100 million verdict Thursday against a retired Roman Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing dozens of boys over many years _ an amount unlikely to ever be collected, but one a victim's attorney said sends a strong message to child predators.
"It sets a standard," said attorney Jeff Herman, who represented Andres Susana in the case against the priest, Neil Doherty. "Now we know what a jury thinks about these cases. No. 2, it sends a message that we hope will protect other children."
Susana, now of Lansing, Mich., told reporters he was just 14 when he ran away from home and wound up in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood in the 1980s. It was there that more than 20 people now claim Doherty trolled for victims wearing his priest's collar, gaining their trust and then plying the boys with drugs and alcohol and sexually abusing them.
"What he did to me, it's unforgiveable. It's something I'm going to have to live with the rest of my life," said Susana, 40. "I feel that justice has been served. It's just really satisfying that my voice has been heard."
Despite the verdict's size, it is the least of Doherty's legal troubles. He has been jailed in neighboring Broward County since last year awaiting trial on multiple child sex abuse charges involving a different young victim. Doherty, 68, has pleaded not guilty to those charges.
Trial of the lawsuit lasted just a day and a half, with Susana taking the stand to describe the abuse and a psychologist describing the shame, humiliation and lasting emotional scars he suffered. Doherty testified only in a written deposition, taking the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination in answer to most questions because of the pending criminal case.
Doherty's attorney did not immediately return an email seeking comment Thursday.
Herman said the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court jury's verdict, which includes $90 million in punitive damages, is among the largest nationwide against an individual priest. The lawsuit did not name the Archdiocese of Miami, which has been targeted by numerous other lawsuits over allegations of sexual abuse by Doherty and other priests. Many have been settled.
"We weren't aware of it because it's a civil case against an individual," said Mary Ross Agosta, spokeswoman for the archdiocese.
A separate lawsuit filed on Susana's behalf against the archdiocese was dismissed because it came after the statute of limitations had passed, but Herman is appealing that ruling.
Susana said he lived silently with the effects of the abuse for years before deciding in February 2010 to come forward.
"It was just time for me to let it out," he said.

Student Testimonials
I first looked at a two-year college to get my licenses, and then I found out about NTI and that it would only take me six months to do the same thing. Even before I had finished NTI and graduated, Pine State Services offered me a job, and I've been here ever since.
It's always stressful when thinking about going back to school but, once I met the staff at NTI's Lewiston campus I had no doubts I was doing the right thing. They gave me confidence, and made me feel like I belonged there. The hours required were flexible enough to fit into my busy schedule, and the instructors are always there to answer any of your questions or help you with whatever you need. They really strive and go out of their way to help you succeed. I am really thankful that this opportunity didn't pass me by. It's the best thing I could've ever done to better myself and my kids. Thank you, NTI.
I thought I would write you to let you know about my new job. I am loving working at B Street Health Center. I have done so much already. I work with many immigrants who need all their vaccinations for their immigration status. I have given a number of injections, draw blood daily, talk with interpreters for Swahili, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, French etc.
Without the outstanding course work and clinical skills that I received from NTI, I do think I would be lagging behind. I just wanted to extend appreciation for your program again.
It is so wonderful to love to go to work. Thanks again.
Thanks to teachers Tom and Peter at NTI for the experience I got in Manufacturing as I can read and interpret blueprints, precision measurements, and use of tools. As a machine operator I know: quality and communication. I'm happy for the time with NTI. Thanks.
Very happy to go to NTI for this great experience, I have gained so much knowledge.
I have had a great experience at Northeast Technical Institute and it will serve me in the future and especially in my job as a technician. Thank you for all programs and staff. Read more
I'm glad to be a student of NTI. I remember the first day I asked myself how life will be through all 11 weeks. I'm so happy I've got friends. I want to thank Tom our instructor and Peter and everyone at NTI. You gave us everything to feel comfortable.
First, I would like to thank you for helping people to have the qualifications. In fact, I learned the Manufacturing course for some months here at NTI, as a new comer in the USA, I've challenged myself to do something that will make me proud to practice.
I am happy to have done this course at NTI Scarborough. I thank everyone who helped me to attend this training, especially the ones who helped me finance it. Thank you to my teachers Tom and Peter.
I would like to say that Northeast Technical Institute is a nice place to attend because we have the opportunity of building new skills to be successful in our future workplace. We have the best teachers helping us on it and how to maintain a good relationship in our daily life. Thank you to everyone who helps us achieve our goals.
Find Out More…
The best way to see if going back to school and training in a professional career is right for you is to visit the NTI campus nearest you. You can tour our modern facilities and meet with our instructors who work in your field of interest.

Posted on 08/04/2008 6:27:19 PM PDT by flyfree
BAGHDAD -- Anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr -- long a thorn in the side of the U.S. military and Iraqi government -- intends to disarm his once-feared Mahdi Army militia and remake it as a social-services organization.
The transformation would represent a significant turnabout for a group that, as recently as earlier this year, was seen as one of the most destabilizing anti-American forces in Iraq. For much of the past several years, the Mahdi Army, headed by Mr. Sadr, a Shiite cleric, controlled sizable chunks of Baghdad and other major cities. Its brand of pro-Shiite activism had the side effect of pitting Iraqis against each other, helping to stir worries of civil war.
Recently, however, the group has been hit by a largely successful Iraqi military crackdown against militia members who have been operating as criminal gangs. At the same time, Mr. Sadr's popular support is dwindling: Residents who once viewed the Mahdi Army as champions of the poor have become alienated by what they see as its thuggish behavior.

al-Sadr has us right where he wants us! Our defeat will be swift and terrible now! He is still winning, and maybe even has won! How cunning and smart and well-groomed is he this lion of Baghdad!
He won by losing..
Kind of what Baraq Husayn ibn Mahomet wants to create, with his Obama Youth Freedom Corps.
Didn't Sadr hide in Iran while the combined forces rooted out his army?
If the Democrats had their way this idiot would be in charge of a large portion of Iraq after mass genocide and ongoing violence during our troop withdraw phase starting in 2006.
His power base would stretch from Tehran to Damascus and the oil rich Iraq would be funding Hezzbollah directly who by this point would have directly launched massive attacks against israel entrenching Israel in an all out Islamic conflict that would be costing the lives of millions of people.
The fall of Jeruselm in late 2007 was followed by a new Shiite dominated Middle East power centers in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon are coordinating and funding terror attacks on U.S. Soil....
5 Thousand American children were murdered in their schools at the hands of radical Islamic Terrorists during the Hezollah uprising and terror attacks launched against our schools in late 2007, 8 thousand dead during the Times Square bombings on New Years eve 2008, 4,000 murdered at Superbowl XLII including 25 Professional Players.... America is no longer the same country as it closes up borders and shuts down all venues in fear of more mass killings.
The Democrat controlled congress has no answer to the ongoing dillema and does nothing more then political posturing by blaming the minority party.
DEMOCRATS are, were and always will be on the WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY.... and they play politics with the very lives of the citizenry of this country.
"Hezbollah entrenched themselves in Lebanon by being a service organization.
Quite right
> If the Democrats had their way this idiot would be in charge of a large portion of Iraq after mass genocide and ongoing violence during our troop withdraw phase starting in 2006.
It wasn't only the Democrats. It was most of the world, including the EU and UK.
He's on a ten year scholarship at Ayatollah school in Iran.
He's got seven years of study left before he achieves Ayatollahdom, at which point he returns to Iraq and becomes a bigger pain in the ass than he could ever hope to be without his sheepskin.
agreed. It ain't over 'til the bum is DEAD.
You should give fat-boy a call and invite him to share a room hiding...in Tehran.
Your post is pathetic.
Agree 100%. This guy intends to lie low until the US leaves. Then watch out.
They made themselves powerful by making sure that nothing could be built, and no aid could get to people, without going through Hezbollah. It would be a huge mistake to allow Sadr's people to have any role in any town in Iraq
He's becoming a community organizer?
Uh huh. And Ghengis Khan just announced that he and his Mongol hordes are available to cater your next Bar Mitzvah, while Frank and Jesse James have opened a bank examiner's office in Northfield, Minnesota.

(Reuters) - Titan Pharmaceuticals Inc's experimental drug to treat opioid addiction was shown to be more effective than placebo in a clinical trial, but patients' response suggested that the proposed dosage might be too low, reviewers for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in documents published on Tuesday.
The commentary was published on the FDA's website ahead of an advisory panel meeting to be held on Thursday and sent the company's stock down 42 percent to $1.19 in over-the counter trading.
The reviewers said they would ask the advisory panel whether Titan should explore dosing further before the product is approved.
The drug, Probuphine, is a long-acting version of buprenorphine, a drug sold by Britain's Reckitt-Benckiser Group Plc under the brand names Subutex and Suboxone.
Unlike Subutex and Suboxone, which are dissolved daily under the tongue, Titan's drug is implanted under the skin of the upper arm during a 10-15 minute office procedure and delivers a continuous supply of buprenorphine for six months.
"Overall, the response was not what one might hope for, given that the product ensures compliance with the medication for six months," the reviewers said. "It prompts speculation that the dose is simply not high enough."
While the safety of Probuphine appears largely in keeping that of other buprenorphine products it presents an additional safety concern, reviewers said. It must be implanted, potentially leading to surgery-related complications. The reviewers said the product is in some ways similar to Norplant, an implantable, progestin-releasing contraceptive which is no longer marketed in the United States.
Even though insertion and removal of Norplant was performed by trained health-care providers, there were cases of implantation and removal-related of complications, some with disabling consequences, the reviewers said. They will ask the advisory committee whether it believes the company has adequately addressed these concerns under its proposed risk mitigation plan and whether the drug's benefit is enough to outweigh the potential risks.
In December, Titan licensed the U.S. and Canadian rights to Probuphine to Braeburn Pharmaceuticals, a company owned by the venture capital firm Apple Tree Partners. Titan received an up-front payment of $15.75 million and will receive up to $50 million if Probuphine is approved.

Rand Paul: Clinton 'inexcusable'
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) continued his attack on former-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday for her handling of the Sept. 11 attack at U.S. posts overseas, including the one in Benghazi, Libya, where Christopher Stevens and others were killed.
(PHOTOS: Hillary Clinton's best lines from the Benghazi hearings)
Story Continued Below
"The person I second-guess is not the Defense Department, I second-guess secretary Clinton for not having adequate security, for turning down security, for saying, 'Oh, I get a million cables, I didn't have time to read the cables asking for more security,'" Paul said on Fox News.
Paul, who is considering a 2016 run for president, reiterated the same criticisms he used against Clinton when she testified last month about the attacks. During the hearing, he said he would have fired her for not reading the security requests.
On Thursday, the tea partier doubled-down: "I'm not asking that she read every cable from Bulgaria to Estonia – but Libya was one of the most five dangerous places in the world easily by anybody's calculation."
He called it "inexcusable" that she not have read the security cables.
"It was inexcusable for her not to read these requests for security and then to have her department turn down the requests for security – really that was inexcusable," said Paul, son of former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul. "And I really think there has not been enough made of the lapse or lack of security in advance of the attacks."
For her part, Clinton has been lying low since leaving the State Department, though she did register a new website domain name: HillaryClintonOffice.com. She is widely considered a 2016 frontrunner in the Democratic field.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Schwindel, a Livingston, New Jersey native, is the second Mountaineer in as many seasons to be named a candidate. Frances Silva was the program's first in 2013. Schwindel is the Big 12 Conference's lone representative.
To be eligible for the Senior CLASS Award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.
"This is a huge honor, and I'm very thankful to be on the candidate list with a lot of great and talented senior athletes," Schwindel said.
A two-time member of the Academic All-Big 12 Team, Schwindel is a child development and family studies major and is expected to graduate in four years. She also is a member of the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll and WVU's Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll.
Schwindel participates in several community service activities with the Mountaineers, including the WVU 4v4 Small-Sided Breast Cancer Tournament and WVU Relay for Life. She also has helped the program raise funds for breast cancer research through personal and team fund-raising projects.
A four-year starter, Schwindel is a two-time NSCAA/Continental Tire All-Central Region Second Team honoree. She also is a two-time All-Big 12 First Team honoree. She has won five conference titles in three seasons with the Mountaineers, including back-to-back Big 12 regular season crowns and the 2013 Big 12 Conference postseason championship. She was the team's top returning point earner, earning a career-best 28 points in 18 matches in 2013, and currently leads WVU with six points through four games in 2014.
Midway through the regular season, the field of 30 will be narrowed down to 10 finalists. The final ballot will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans.The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the 2014 NCAA Women's College Cup championships in December.

Iran's president appoints new head of central bank
Aug. 25, 2013
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian state television says that the country's president has appointed a private banker as the head of the country's central bank.
The report Sunday said President Hasan Rouhani picked Valiollah Seif to run the country's financial regulator. It said Seif will replace outgoing central bank head Mahmoud Bahmani.
Seif ran the private Karafarin bank in Iran. He also supports independence for the central bank and a floating rate for Iran's currency, the rial, against foreign currencies.
Seif takes over the central bank as sanctions over Iran's disputed nuclear program have been putting heavy pressure on the country's economy for the past two years. Oil exports have been slashed in half and the rial has lost two-thirds of its value since late 2011. Inflation also has shot up in the country.

I am proud to say my lovely wife used to do such a good job for more than 15 years, always staying wholly naked all the time : she never veiled strictly any part of her feminity, being already nude to welcome her still clothed customers, widely spreading her thighs in front of them when talking freely about what they expect, looking for masturbation or fucking.

A new online Atlas of freshwater biodiversity presenting spatial information and species distribution patterns will be launched today at the landmark Water Lives symposium, bringing together European Union policy makers and freshwater scientists. Freshwaters are incredibly diverse habitats; they cover less than 1% of the Earth's surface yet are home to 35% of all vertebrate species. Sadly, freshwater life is declining at an alarming rate, faster than any other component of global biodiversity.
A challenge for policy is how to integrate protection of freshwater life and the ecosystem services it provides, with real and pressing demands on freshwater resources from the energy, food and sanitation sectors. This new Atlas is a response from freshwater scientists to this policy challenge. It provides policy-makers, water managers and scientists with an online, open-access and interactive gateway to key geographical information and spatial data on freshwater biodiversity across different scales. The Atlas is a resource for better, evidenced-based decision making in the area of water policy, science and management.
The online Atlas adopts a book-like structure allowing easy browsing through its four thematic chapters; I) Patterns of freshwater biodiversity, 2) Freshwater resources and ecosystems, 3) Pressures on freshwater systems and 4) Conservation and management. All of the maps are accompanied by a short article with further contextual background information. The interactive map interface allows easy switching between maps, navigation and zooming and the display of information attached to each map feature. Also, unlike a conventional printed atlas, this online Atlas can be constantly expanded and updated as new maps and data become available.
The IUCN Global Species Programme is a key partner in this project and has, through its Freshwater Biodiversity Unit, led on Work Package 7, where the focus is on "Informing Policy for Conservation Planning". Key outputs from IUCN's work include: i) the first map of freshwater Key Biodiversity Areas for Europe; ii) a gap analysis to see how well the existing European Protected Areas network (Natura 2000 in particular) covers FW KBAs; iii) application of Systematic Conservation Planning tools to optimise the KBA network to meet specified targets relating to policy objectives, and iv) an analysis of predicted species range shifts under climate change scenarios and the implications for policy. IUCN has contributed many of the maps coming out of this analysis to the Atlas, in addition to other global scale maps of freshwater species diversity, and will add many more maps in the near future.
The Atlas is an output of BioFresh – an EU-funded project that is putting together the scattered pieces of information about life in our rivers and lakes, to better understand, manage and protect our freshwaters for generations to come. It is edited by a pan-European group of freshwater science and conservation experts from 12 research institutes, and is supported by key international organisations active in the field of freshwater biodiversity research and conservation, namely GEO Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Global Water System Project (GWSP), Conservation International (CI), Wetlands International, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
"The Atlas will be of immense value to NGOs, policy-makers and conservation planners working to identify key areas of freshwater biodiversity, create freshwater protected area networks, minimise the harm caused by large-scale land use projects such as dams or to meet conservation targets such as the Aichi Biodiversity Targets" said Dr Will Darwall, Head of the IUCN Freshwater Biodiversity Unit.

Maple is the offspring of Process Grotesque – our retired interpretation of the Stephenson Blake grotesques, originally released in 2002. Although the original was a well-intentioned effort, its uneasy lowercase and adherence to a model left it wooden and unsure. It was summarily shown the door in 2003.
But... absence makes the heart grow fonder. The original attempt was 'revived' in the spring of 2004 and the Stephenson Blake model was put aside to make room for a freer interpretation of the grotesque genre. Unlike linear, neutral or geometric sans serifs, grotesques live happily untethered from any necessity to resolve in a consistent fashion. As a result, their page color isn't derived from of an equal distribution of terminations, details or weights but rather is the result of a rejection of such conventions. As sans serifs go, they're free agents – and for designers, they come loaded with typographic opportunity.
It's in this vein that Maple finds character. Exaggerated lowercase incisions, irregular stroke terminations, and an overflowing black weight join forces to make this flamboyant grotesque sing. The regular and medium weights remain toothy at text sizes while the bold and black weights boost headlines, making this family a versatile choice for demanding typographic jobs.

2011 Record (ACC): 10-4 (6-2)
Returning Starters (Off/Def/ST): 15 (7/7/1)
The defending ACC Champs have the offensive weapons to make a return trip to the Discover Orange Bowl in 2013. The one-two punch of quarterback Tajh Boyd and receiver Sammy Watkins look ready to build upon a 2011 campaign that catapulted both players into national prominence. Andre Ellington will look to improve upon his 1,178 yard, 11 touchdown performance last season and All-ACC Center Dalton Freeman returns to lead a young offensive line. Incoming Safety Travis Blanks should add some serious depth to a secondary that returns all four starters. The Tigers lost some bulk in their front seven, but head coach and recruiting whiz Dabo Sweeney set his team up with arguably the best defensive class in 2013.
Clemson's road to a second-straight Orange Bowl berth runs through a tough non-conference schedule which includes SEC opponents Auburn and South Carolina. The fact they've played the Gamecocks well historically and snapped a 14-game losing streak to the Tigers last season bodes well for the crew from Death Valley. They'll return to Lane Stadium on October 20th to try and make it three straight against the Hokies – who they took two games from last year by a combined score of 61-13. But it'll be their ACC opener against the Seminoles in Tallahassee that could determine who sits atop the ACC Atlantic division come December.
2011 Record (ACC): 8-5 (5-3)
Returning Starters (Off/Def/ST): 15 (7/6/2)
Since Paul Johnson took over as head coach in 2008, Georgia Tech's run game has ranked among the top-5 in the FBS each season. Tevin Washington returns for his second season as the Yellow Jackets starter and is a more proven passer than possibly any other quarterback Johnson has coached. He'll have plenty of familiar faces to help along the way, with guard Omoregie Uzzi highlighting an offensive line which returns all five starters from last year. If Tech develops a consistent passing game to complement their rush there's no limit to what this offense could produce. The Yellow Jackets added some elements on the defensive front in tackles Patrick Gamble and Rod Chungong who should sure up some of the problems they faced against the run last year. A hot start in 2012 could see them sitting atop the ACC in the end.
Georgia Tech has one of the tougher ACC draws, with road games at Virginia Tech, Clemson and UNC. Coach Johnson is just 1-3 against the Hokies, but two of those losses were by a touchdown or less. They dealt Clemson one of its two ACC losses last season and have bested the Tar Heels in three straight. Georgia Tech ran through the ACC in 2009 en route to their sixth Orange Bowl appearance, and could do so again this year behind Washington and company.

And now there's Google after death
Buy life insurance. Save for retirement. Organize the sock drawer.
So many nagging things to do.
Add to the list: Plan for the afterlife with a Google will.
No, really. Now that we've all amassed reams of digital data floating out there somewhere beyond our control, Google's got a solution – "inactive account manager," aka, your Google death plan.
Google's announcement of its newfound end-of-life compassion sounded more saccharine than a cemetery ad.
"We hope that this new feature will enable you to plan your digital afterlife – in a way that protects your privacy and security – and make life easier for your loved ones after you're gone," Google Product Manager Andreas Tuerk wrote in a post about the change.
Personally, I was hoping for an afterlife free from the burden of passwords and spam.
Google's got other plans, and they're really quite simple. If you use one of Google's services, such as Gmail, Picasa or YouTube, you tell it what to do with your data once your account has been inactive for, say, three to 12 months. You can have it automatically deleted or passed on to "trusted contacts."
Don't worry, it will check with you via text message to make sure you're really dead before it hands over all your old email, photographs and Google+ updates.
The best part is that Google assumes that if you haven't been using its products for a few months, you must be dead, rather than just having moved on to better technology or found peaceful bliss outside the online world.
There may be people with treasure troves of interesting emails to sort through once they're dead. But mine? Judging by the last month, you'll find little more than the mundane about taxes and work. Remember when email was a place where heartfelt messages landed and long-lost friends reunited? My email these days is chock full of news that the last season of "Mad Men" is now streaming on Netflix and that bok choy was "just a buck a pound" at the co-op.
Plenty there to save for posterity.
Regardless of the banality of email these days, I actually do like the idea of having some control over what happens to all this stuff once I'm gone. I just wish we could get more control over all that other data Google's got – like about that strange rash you Googled or the number of cat videos you've actually watched.
But that's the kind of stuff that makes us valuable commodities that can be bought and sold to advertisers in the time it takes to pull up a website. Why would they let us weigh in on decisions about that?
There is a solution: Simply opt out. But you might as well suggest someone take a vow of silence for six months.
Our lives have become so entrenched in the digital realm, it's nearly impossible to extricate ourselves from the Web. There's hardly anything you can sign up for these days that doesn't require a password and agreeing in blood to share your email, phone number and all the digital crumbs you spill all over the Internet.
In fact, I've used Google and Gmail more than two dozen times since starting this column. It's a love-hate relationship. As in, I love to hate it, but I just keep coming back.
Guess they've got me 'til "death do us part."

Judge Robert Bork, whom President Reagan nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court, came into the Catholic Church at 76 years of age, thanks in no small part to the intercessory prayer from his wife, Mary Ellen. Shortly after his reception into the Church, Father Richard John Neuhaus, himself a convert and editor of First Things, sent him a congratulatory note stating that "[Now] all of the saints [can] get some rest from Mary Ellen's importuning." (National Catholic Register Jan. 13-26, 2013).
This homey and mildly humorous anecdote, of course, does not prove anything. At the same time, it does suggest a quartet of dispositions that are needed in order for intercessory prayer to be effective. They are:
1) Persistence, because the intercessor must continue to pray without ceasing.
2) Hope, because the intercessor believes that the prayers will ultimately be answered.
3) Love, because that is what animates the intercessor to will the good of the beloved.
4) Humility, because the intercessor knows that only God answers prayers.
These were the very dispositions that St. Monica demonstrated in her prayers for the conversion of her son, St. Augustine.
It has been the common consensus of mankind throughout the ages that prayer can be effective. Thus Alfred Lord Tennyson is addressing a believing readership when he has the dying King Arthur make the following request:
"Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer
"Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice
"Rise like a fountain for me night and day" ("Morte D'Arthur").
C.S. Lewis, in his insightful article "The Efficacy of Prayer," recounts an experience that continued to astonish him and caused him to think deeply about the mysterious potentialities of prayer. He got up one morning intending to travel to London and to prepare for the trip by getting his hair cut. The morning's mail, however, made it clear that the London trip was no longer needed. Therefore, he decided not to get his hair cut. But an unaccountable nagging began in his mind, almost like a voice saying: "Get it cut all the same. Go and get it cut." His "voice" finally won out over his practical judgment. The very moment he opened the door of the barber shop, the barber said to him, "Oh, I was praying you might come today." The barber was a Christian who was experiencing many troubles. As C.S. Lewis notes, "If I had come a day or so later, I should have been of no use to him."
Lewis was confronted with more dramatic indications of the relationship between prayer and healing. He describes observing a woman whose thighbone was eaten through with cancer. Three people were needed to move her in bed. The doctors predicted death in a few months. A good man laid his hands on her and prayed. A year later the patient was walking easily. The technician who took the last X-ray photos said: "These bones are as solid as rock. It's miraculous."
There have been numerous "scientific" studies purporting to prove or disprove whether there is a causal relationship between intercessory prayers and healing. The results have varied. The difficulties such studies face are invincible. God answers prayers, but in ways that may not be either predictable or observable. Christ prayed three times in Gethsemane that a certain cup might pass from him. It did not. Yet, no Christian would maintain that Christ's prayers, in general, were not effective. God the Father has his own prerogatives. God did answer Israel's prayers for release from the tyrannical hand of the Pharaoh. But his answer, as described in Exodus, was not what the chosen people expected — requiring them to wander in the desert for 40 years and suffer many hardships. God may or may not answer our prayers the way we envision.
It should be of no surprise, then, that Jesus required us to pray "Thy will be done." Our main concern should not be whether God answers our prayers exactly the way we want them to be answered, but whether we are prepared to accept the way he does answer them.

Tony Winner Melba Moore Stars in GOOD GOD A'MIGHTY! at 14th Street Playhouse, Now thru 2/24
"I'm delighted to bring the hit comedy play Good God A'Mighty! to Atlanta for a special two-week engagement," states playwright Lolita Snipes. "It's my Valentine's gift to the city. Starring Tony Award winning actress and legendary singer Melba Moore, this electrifying comedy will give audiences a behind-the-scenes look inside an African-American church in the midst of change. Featured in the cast of memorable characters are nationally known comedians Just June and Dante Carter. Make plans to bring your family and friends to join us at the intimate 14th Street Playhouse from February 14-24."
The play takes a comical look into African-American church culture when a vibrant young Pastor from New York moves down south to take over an old style church. The zany antics are non-stop when two church mothers fall in love with him while sparks fly as the other members fight to keep their old traditions intact. Trouble and fun ensue when the bombastic choir director tries to run him out of the "The Big Easy" and back to the "The Big Apple!" Amidst the laughter, the story weaves the universal themes of love, relationships, and what it means to truly belong to a community. Sometimes you find inspiration in the most unexpected places and realize...God really does have a sense of humor.
The foot-stomping, soul-stirring original music scored by Lolita Snipes for Good God A'Mighty! ranges from gospel, classic choir music and a-cappella, to R&B. Audiences will also get a chance to experience the traditional Holy Dance, which is an integral part of the Black gospel expression.
Melba Moore plays feisty choir director, Reen L'Dimp, who takes her position as head of the clean-up committee very seriously. Moore began her acting career on Broadway in the classic musical HAIR. From there she went on to star in PURLIE and earned a Tony Award for her portrayal as Lultiebelle. She appeared with the iconic Eartha Kitt in the hit musical Timbuktu! And she made history as the first African-American to perform in the role of Fantine on Broadway in the acclaimed musical, LES MISERABLES.
Although Ms. Moore enjoyed working on Broadway, she wanted to pursue her first love...music. She made her recording debut with the powerful "I Got Love," quickly followed by the sultry "Look What You're Doing To The Man." She became a regular on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and The Flip Wilson show. And she scored a string of Billboard hits with songs like "This Is It," "You Stepped Into My Life," "Love's Comin' At Ya," "Living For Love," "Read My Lips," "Falling," and "A Little Bit More," a duet with FrEddie Jackson. She is especially proud of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," a song she recorded with an all-star ensemble of singers including Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, FrEddie Jackson, Jeffrey Osborne, Lou Gossett Jr., Bobby Brown, Anita Baker and Stephanie Mills. The song was inducted into the US Library of Congress as the official Negro National Anthem.
Recently Ms. Moore starred with Beyonce and Cuba Gooding Jr. in the motion picture, The Fighting Temptations. She's currently producing a new CD entitled "Forever Moore," which will be released on her own label, A'Moore Music.
The over-the-top role of Mother Nelson is hilariously portrayed by Just June. This talented entertainer appeared in the Paramount Pictures comedy, Coming To America, with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. She's performed on BET's Comic View, Fox TV's Comedy Express and she tours regularly, doing her stand-up act in top Comedy Clubs across the country.
Dante Carter is Deacon Burton, a pillar of the church who has a penchant for pop culture and is an avid "Housewives" fan. The Cleveland native is best known for his performances on the BET series Comic View and HBO's Russell Simmons Def Comedy Jam. His acting credits include traditional shows like Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and he has aspirations to direct.
The production team for Good God A'Mighty! includes Lolita Snipes, Playwright & Director; Ross Fleming, Producer; DJ Cut Master Swift, Music Producer; William Green, Music Director; Theresa Hightower, Vocal Director; Paula Monette, Set Designer; Verda "Bella Blue" Watson, Casting Producer and Mesheka Carson as Stage Manager.
The 14th Street Playhouse is conveniently located at 173 14th Street, at the corner of 14th Street and Juniper, across from the W Midtown. There is a parking deck adjoining the theater. Performance dates and times are as follows:

In October, agencies were required to start issuing standardized IDs to all employees and contractors who access government buildings and computer systems. It will take several years to enroll everyone, observers say.
"The hard piece for us has been how to make this work," said Mario Morales, director of the ID program office at the Health and Human Services Department. The new credentials are the result of a 2004 homeland security order, known as HSPD-12, that demands each employee obtain a card by going through a background check and fingerprinting.
Federal employees and designated contractors then obtain "smart cards" embedded with tiny computer chips that contain personal indentification data. To simplify the whole concept, Morales' office just refers to it as the "ID badge."
There will be 225 credentialing stations, some mobile, to capture employees' biometric information, according to Michel Kareis, with the HSPD-12 managed-services office at the General Services Administration. She said the enrollment process takes about 20 minutes per person.
Morales cited the Office of Personnel Management as "probably the most important player" in equipping agencies with the know-how to deploy the operation.
OPM's investigative services division conducts most of the background checks for the government. Mark Pekrul, a senior program analyst in the division, said the population of uncleared federal contractors will be most affected because those people have never undergone background investigations.
Morales stressed the "trust element" of the ID program. Federal employees decide which contract employees have a "bonified need to be here," and subsequently should get a card. Contractors are not allowed to order cards for their employees.
A related trust issue: HHS' physical security department issues the cards, but only the information technology shop has the money to make the cards. The two divisions need to share information and resources.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – Hundreds of supporters of changes to federal and state immigration laws marched to Minnesota's Capitol on Wednesday as fellow activists held similar rallies around the country.
The May Day rally on Thursday was sponsored by a coalition of labor, social justice and other groups who support a federal overhaul of immigration laws that would address thousands of immigrants now living and working in the country illegally. Members of Congress and the Obama administration are currently negotiating on that issue.
The rally coincided with a vote on Wednesday in the state Senate to extend Minnesota's in-state tuition rates and financial aid to the children of immigrants who are not documented. Those at the rally are also seeking a change in law that would allow drivers licenses for immigrants without documentation.

Miller, Lloyd D. | Purdue University Libraries, Archives and Special Collections
Professor Lloyd D. Miller of Purdue University was born in Kosciusko County, Indiana and being the son of a United Brethren minister, he went to Indiana Central College. Upon receiving his degree, he spent twelve years as a classroom teacher, two years as a high school principal, one year as a town school superintendent and three years as a supervising teacher in biology at Indiana University Lab School. His graduate work was done at Indiana University.
Professor Miller joined the staff at Purdue University in 1942 in the Technical Extension Division's War Training Program as audio-visual supervisor. In 1950 he became the first full time audio-visual man at Purdue as Film Librarian and headed up the first of four units of the Audio-Visual Center. He was instrumental in the development of Purdue's Audio-Visual Center from the beginning of the first audio-visual committee in 1946. He was particularly interested in teacher education, knowing that it is the young people going out to teach that need to be well informed about the various media.
Mr. Miller became an Associate Professor in 1959 and received the rank of Professor in 1965. He was a member of D.A.V.I. where he served on a number of committees and was given the D.A.V.I. Pioneer Award in 1966. He was a past president and a charter member of A.V.I.D. and received their 1967 Merit Award.
Professor Lloyd D. Miller's friends and co-workers were all saddened by his death on April 20, 1968.

Sexual-Assault Victims Get Campus 'Advocates'
Berkeley, Other Schools Add Staffers to Provide Confidential Support
BERKELEY, Calif.—In the spring of 2012, as a freshman at the University of California campus here, Sofie Karasek says she was molested by a fellow student during a school-sponsored trip off campus.
She reported the incident to school administrators, but despite repeated inquiries, it was eight months before Ms. Karasek learned her alleged assailant had been found in violation of the school's code of conduct. It took nine more months to learn of his punishment: disciplinary probation and counseling....
