Roosevelt was very happy, he accepted the offer of Albert Einstein and gave him all the facilities he wanted. And Albert Einstein was not creating the atom bomb to destroy anybody just the threat would have been enough, that America has atomic weapons. Now it is better to surrender; otherwise the death of millions of people will be the result. Germany surrendered. Japan was considering the fact: What to do? because they could not manage to fight with an enemy who had atomic weapons. Their weapons were all primitive.
Japan was going to surrender that same week, but the American politicians…Roosevelt was no longer president; Truman was president. He was in a hurry to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now it has been revealed through the correspondence between him and Albert Einstein that he wanted to use the atomic weapons as quickly as possible to see what was their actual value, whether they could destroy as many people as Albert Einstein said they could. He wanted to test them by killing two big cities like Bombay, or New York…Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
And he destroyed those two cities. Even his own army experts said to him, "It is absolutely stupid to kill them. They are thinking about it, negotiations are on, our generals and their generals are meeting every day on conditions for how to settle and stop the war. It is only a question of one more week at the most. Japan is aware of the situation. Just as Germany has surrendered, Japan is going to surrender; there is no question."
Truman was in a hurry: if Japan surrenders, then there will be no possibility in the near future to test the bombs to see what they can do. How many people can be killed within minutes?
And Albert Einstein wrote to Truman saying that "There is no need to use the atom bombs, just that you have them is enough. Germany has surrendered and Japan cannot stand long. It is going to surrender. I pray to you: please don't use them!"
But once you have given the power into the hands of the politicians, who cares? Truman never replied to the letter. And Albert Einstein died with such frustration: "I am the cause of unnecessarily killing two hundred thousand people."
A journalist asked him the day he died, "If another life is given to you, I hope you will still work to explore more and more deeply into physics and the power that matter contains."
Einstein said, "Never. If I am born again, I will ask God to make me a plumber, but never a physicist. One time is enough."
The plumber cannot do harm; at the most his plumbing may not be good and your bathroom may leak, but he cannot kill Hiroshima or Nagasaki. His statement that "I would like to be a plumber"…the lowest category one can ever aspire to; I have never come across anybody who is ambitious to become a plumber. This is sad, a very sad commentary on the whole situation of science.
People like Mahatma Gandhi condemn science and technology. They don't condemn politicians because they themselves are politicians. It hurts to know…Mahatma Gandhi was continuously teaching the philosophy of nonviolence, and he was asked by Louis Fischer, "If your country becomes independent, what are you going to do with the great army that you have, and the factories and the arms?"

The ESL (English as a Second Language) Program addresses the general principles of language acquisition. These principles include:
*Language is functional
*Language varies
*Language learning is cultural learning
*Language acquisition is a long-term process
*Language acquisition occurs through meaningful use and interaction
*Language processes develop interdependently
*Native language proficiency contributes to second language acquisition
ESL students must acquire both conversational and academic language skills. Second language learning is developmental in nature. Therefore, it may take three to six years to achieve academic proficiency in English. Language acquisition is dependent on educational background, first language background, learning styles, cognitive styles, motivation, and personality. The ESL program provides students with varied and meaningful experiences, materials, activities, and opportunities that will enable them to reach their full potential. It also helps students foster an appreciation of the English language and American culture.
*To develop proficiency in listening comprehension, appropriate for the grade level of the student.
*To understand and use English vocabulary for listening, speaking, reading, and writing, in social and academic settings, appropriate for the grade level of the student.
*To acquire proficiency in speaking English for real purposes and audiences.
*To acquire proficiency in reading comprehension.
*To develop the ability to write grammatically correct sentences, paragraphs, short essays, and reports appropriate for the grade level of the students.
*To develop a knowledge and appreciation of American culture.
*To develop self-esteem as the student becomes more comfortable in his/her new environment and with his/her new language.
*To use technology as a tool for acquiring English Language skills.

Ah. No surprise with the blog responses. Many of the usual suspects with all their trollish villification. I can be grateful that I'm only exposed to thier cesspool psyche(s) when I read an article about Bremerton.
As for Ms. Schmidt. You always posture yourself as an expert, but in the end it is really is only YOUR opinion. It's obvious that you care and sometimes we're better for your involvement.
With regards to downtown. It looks great and is getting better all the time. Thank you Mr. Sexton and all the others with a vision and committment to revitalize Bremerton. Once out of a recession, their will be more businesses, more interesting people, etc. and the haters will just have to target something else.
And within five, no make it TWO years, the street will have to be paved.
Take a good look at those street gutters.
Standing water is brick's worst enemy.
And if they claim, they have the money to upkeep this road, just look at the other roads.
Just wait until these dipsticks run a snow plow on that road.

Commission VII Research Award
Commission VII announces the availability of the 2000 Research Award to encourage original research relevant to the work of counseling centers in higher education. One award of up to $750.00 will be made during the spring of 2000. Competition for the award is open to all members of Commission VII. Student members are welcome to apply, however, the award may not be used to fund dissertation research. Deadline for receipt of proposals is March 29, 2000. The Award will be announced following the 2000 American College Personnel Association Conference.Proposals should be single-spaced, adhere to the guidelines set forth in the APA Publication Manual, Fourth Edition, and follow the outline below. The proposal should clearly indicate how consideration of diversity will be built into the research project. The project does not necessarily need to target specific diverse groups or issues, however, it does need to recognize and appropriately consider diverse populations in relation to the topic under study. The proposal, including references, is to be no more than 15 pages.
Five copies of the proposal, along with a cover letter, should be submitted to Connie Matthews, Ph. D., Department of Counselor Education, Counseling Psychology, and Rehabilitation Services, 332 CEDAR Building, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802. The cover letter should include the title of the proposal, contact information for the principal investigator, and the principal investigator's ACPA membership number. Proposals must be received by March 29, 2000, and may not be faxed or emailed. For more information about the award or the application process, contact Connie Matthews at email@example.com or (814)863-6153.
I. Rationale (3 page maximum)
This section should address the theoretical underpinnings of the project (if appropriate to the nature of the project), as well as the potential it has to contribute to the work of college and university counseling centers. The rationale should be supported by appropriate reference to the professional literature and there should be a clear explanation of how the project contributes to the existing knowledge.
II. Research Plan (7 page maximum)
This section should provide a detailed description of the methods to be used. It should include description of the participants, data collection methods and/or any instruments to be used (with justification of their appropriateness for the study), procedures that will be followed, and steps to insure protection of research participants. Approval by the applicant's Institutional Review Board will be required prior to distribution of funds, although this does not have to have occurred prior to submitting the proposal. This section should include clear and specific research questions and a preliminary indication of anticipated quantitative or qualitative analyses.
III. Budget Summary
Provide an outline of major budget categories and the amount requested (e.g. Postage, $242; Copying, $180). The total can exceed the $750.00 that is available from this award. If the total does exceed $750.00, the source of funds being used to supplement this award should be clearly indicated as well as evidence that the additional funds are available for the project. Please note that no funds from this award may be allocated for institutional indirect costs. Funds for equipment from the award may not exceed 20% of the award total or $150. Equipment would include anything of a permanent nature, whose use would exceed the duration of the research project (e.g. software, books, manuals, re-usable test booklets, recording or computer equipment, etc.).

300 reply envelopes x 33˘ | $99 | |
200 follow-up postcards x 22˘ | $44 |
V. Dissemination of Results
Since the purpose of this award is to support research that is relevant to the work of college and university counseling centers, it is important that a plan for communicating the results to those who might benefit be built into the plan. Applicants are encouraged to submit a proposal for presentation at the American College Personnel Association annual conference, however, acceptance should not be assumed, nor should this be the sole method of dissemination of results.
VI. Agreement to Submit a Final Report
The applicant(s) should indicate agreement to submit a final report to Commission VII upon completion of the project. This report should be written in the form of an article that can then be submitted by the applicant to a professional journal whose readership might include counseling center professionals. The final report will be due October 15, 2001.

THIBODAUX — On a hot, clear morning, Keri Turner was about to settle into the house of her dreams.
Turner, who teaches English at Nicholls State University, wove her way through a crowd of friends and relatives carrying ice chests and grocery bags full of goodies, making the final preparations for a housewarming party on the bayou.
Turner launched her homemade houseboat, the Katy Lucy, on its maiden voyage Friday down Bayou Lafourche. It's the name Turner's mother used to call her, when she was behaving.
"I'm so happy," she said, pausing to embrace a neighbor. "I think I'm going to cry."
Turner's inspiration for creating the houseboat started simply — she wanted a camp.
"All the ones I could afford weren't ones I would want," she said. "And I decided I didn't want to have to fight coastal erosion."
So what better way to deal with water, Turner figured, than to get a houseboat?
"I didn't see any houseboats I liked," she said nonchalantly. "So I decided to build my own."
The project started with a plain, flat barge, 55 by 22 feet. Over two years, Turner constructed a 680-square-foot wooden house on the floating foundation, from the water floor up.
Built from whatever wood Turner could get her hands on, the house has a fully functioning kitchen with a pantry full of pots, pans, and cooking supplies. There's a living room with a small TV and a wood-burning stove, a bathroom and a bedroom sporting a master bed and a pair of bunk beds.
"It's got all the comforts of a house," Turner said. "But I just love the motion of the water."Read more at http://www.houmatoday.com/article/20110617/ARTICLES/110619421/-1/living?Title=Nicholls-professor-builds-houseboat-from-scratch&tc=ar

Hello to all you Christmas celebrating SWR readers out there! I am excited to spend the day with Kai and my family while enjoying this significant holiday. Tomorrow we will be opening gifts, eating a delicious brunch prepared by my mom, and just spending time together. I look forward to this day all year!
I thought today would be the perfect day to share our first family Christmas card, which we ordered through Minted! You may have seen my previous post where I shared some designs we were considering. After taking the pictures for our card, we ultimately decided on the second layout option.
As much as I wish we could, we can't honestly take credit for the concept. Kai found this hilarious website and I knew we needed to do our version of the clothes swapping idea. Taking these photos was so hilarious, and a little confusing. We came up with the mirrored concept right before we shot the photos, and getting it just right was mind bending.
Here is a closer look at the original photo:
and the final version:
So there is it – Merry Christmas from the Heeringa Family! Kai, Kayley, Shanty, and Epworth.

Awww that is super cute! My dad is actually the reason I am just now beginning to shoot in manual. He never, ever, ever has taken a shot his entire life in auto. Won't even touch a point and shoot!
So, sorta the opposite, but sorta the same, this post makes me think about my pops... cause he's the one teaching me right now! It's the perfect father/daughter hobby.
Oh, and PS, that outfit is weekend perfection. Plus, you look like you are about to rock out to some MJ. Thriller, maybe.
Wish I was in Michigan this weekend. My mom said there might be some snow! She's outside of Traverse City so I don't know if it's the same by you. Enjoy the perfect weather!What a gorgeous shot! Your dad did a great job : )
XO, KelseyOBSESSED with this picture... seriously... how gorgey!?! hugs chica.. happy weekend
CarissaExplainsItAllBeautiful location and picture. :) But...I have a question. Do you not feel super awkward asking you dad to take pictures of you by yourself? Haha. Maybe that occurs to me because I am, actually, awkward. But did he pose you or do you pose yourself? Is it weird? Haha. I think it'd be weird. Again, though, perhaps I'm just awkward.
Lovely picture, though! And you don't look awkward in the slightest!
I will now be replying to comments right here on this thread! wahoo! And even if I don't get to your comment, please know I read every single one! I also always answer emails! email@example.com

You'd better get your ass to Mars, or at least to a TV this June.
SyFy has announced that a two-hour TV movie based on the Red Faction video game series will debut on Saturday, June 4th, entitled Red Faction: Origins. Starring Terminator 2's Robert Patrick as Alec Mason, the movie will follow the story of his son Jake twenty five years after the events of Red Faction: Guerilla.
Says the official press release:
Red Faction: Origins -- Saturday, June 4, at 9PM (ET/PT) -- Robert Patrick (Terminator 2), Brian J. Smith (Stargate Universe) and Kate Vernon (Battlestar Galactica) star in Red Faction: Origins, based on the hugely successful Red Faction video game franchise.
Twenty-five years have passed since Alec Mason (Patrick) led the Martian Colonies to freedom and 12 years since vengeful enemies killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter Lyra (Tamzin Merchant), and left a broken hero in their wake. Jake Mason (Smith), Alec's only son and an officer in the Red Faction Militia, has his world turned inside out when he discovers that now, 12 years after her kidnapping, his sister is still alive.
As a powerful new enemy swarms across the planet, Jake goes out to find her, only to learn that his lost sister is one of them -- a cold-blooded soldier sworn to destroy the Red Faction. Vernon portrays The Matriarch, leader of the tribal Marauders sect. Red Faction: Origins is produced by Universal Cable Productions and UFO Films.
Robert Patrick and Brian J. Smith on the set
What do you think? Could this be the first in another on-going sci-fi series for SyFy, or is it doomed to the obscurity of other video game movies? Sound off below!

Am I just hitting it at the wrong angle or something? It seems like my biggest hold back on this keyboard is typing words as one without a space...***
Same problem except I seem to always hit the "n" in between words instead of the spacebar, once I can find the camera connection kit I'll hook up a spare USB keyboard.
I've noticed that this system has a very active dictionary and will make corrections on the fly. Half way thru the word it guesses what you want and offers a suggestion, such as making "halfway" into two words. I just reread the text and tap the highlighted correction.
Automatically capitalizing the first word of the sentence takes some getting used to.
There are a lot of things that take getting used to, including accidentally hit the number bar instead of the space bar.
i always hit the "1234" button to the right of the space bar and i type numbers and other things till I look and then !!!!! PISS ME OFF!!!

That's the exact thing that in was doing when I first got the iPad, but I seemed to have overcome it... Now I keep hitting "q" instead of hitting "a".
I actually typed this post up to this sentence on the iPad in about 37 seconds with no issues, so I think I'm doing alright.
The only thing that trips me up sometimes is the auto-correction. I wish you could add custom words to the iPad dictionary or set it to replace certain misspelled words with others. Anyone else agree?

Veronica Lomas Pageantry Productions, Planned Parades in Huntington Beach
productions in cities throughout California and elsewhere. She passed away in Jan. 2009..
Ronnie Lomas was a gracious lady who always wore a smile. The room was aglow when Veronica entered, nicely dressed, hair manicured and nails always looking salon-fresh.
Lomas loved life and she especially loved a parade. For decades, she worked with her husband/partner in the Pageantry Productions business, producing parades, festivals and special events with some happening on the same day, no less.
Known to those who have planned and produced the 4th of July Parade in Huntington Beach, Lomas will be fondly remembered for her bright outlook, smile and helping hand in making each year's parade seem easy and fun. A real professional, even when Lomas became ill, the show carried on, and she often attended meetings when she felt up to it.
In 2007, Lomas was chosen as the 2007 Bill Gallienne Award winner. The award honors an individual for their long-standing association with the Huntington Beach 4th of July Celebration, as a volunteer, employee or consultant. The Huntington Beach Fourth of July Executive Board announced this honor which recognizes Ronnie, who has worked with her husband, Bill Lomas, to produce the annual parade event for 30 years.
Veronica (Ronnie) Lomas will be missed by the hundreds of folks who worked with her to plan events, and by the countless millions who saw her handiwork, never knowing about this capable woman behind the scenes who loved a parade! See Connie Young's photos from the unique and amazing celebration of this brave lady's life, held at her funeral and memorial service in Westminster, Calif. in January 2009.

text: Of greatest concern to the human community are the factors that cause rapid rates of erosion and high sediment yields. The quantity and type of sediment moving through a stream channel are intimately related to the geology, topographic character, climate, vegetational type and density, and land use within the drainage basin. The geologic and topographic variables are fixed, but short-term changes in climatic conditions, vegetation, and land use produce abrupt alterations in the intensity of erosion processes and in sediment yields. The sediment yield from any drainage system is calculated by averaging the data collected over a period of years. It is, therefore, an average of the results of many different hydrologic events. The sediment yield for each storm or flood will vary, depending on the meteorologic character of the storm event and the resulting hydrologic character of the floods. High-intensity storms may produce sediment yields well above the norm, whereas an equal amount of precipitation occurring over a longer period of time may yield relatively little sediment. During short spans of time (days or years), sediment yields may fluctuate greatly because of natural or human-induced accidents (e.g., floods and fires), but ...

Historical Perspectives
40% in many European countries think Israel is waging war of extermination against Palestinians (TIMES OF ISRAEL) By RAPHAEL AHREN 04/17/12)
Source: http://www.timesofisrael.com/study-poles-and-hungarians-believe-jews-take-advantage-of-holocaust-have-too-much-influence/
TIMES OF ISRAEL Articles-Index-Top
Most Europeans feel Jews enrich their culture, new study finds, but large proportions of Poles and Hungarians believe Jews exploit Holocaust and have too much influence
Nearly three quarters of Polish citizens believe that the Jews seek to exploit the Holocaust. About 70 percent of Hungarians think Jews have too much influence in their country. And close to 40 percent of people in numerous European countries believe that Israel is waging a war of extermination against the Palestinians.
These are among the findings of a major new study on bigotry in Europe, entitled Intolerance, Prejudice and Discrimination, published by the German-based Friedrich Ebert Foundation. The report, set to be formally presented in two weeks time but made available in the week that Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, surveyed 8,000 people across the continent 1,000 in each of eight countries.
More than 30 percent of Poles strongly agree and 42 somewhat agree with the statement that Jews try to take advantage of having been victims during the Nazi era, the survey showed. In Hungary, 39% of responders agreed strongly and 29% somewhat agreed with that assertion.
The study also sheds light on European attitudes toward the state of Israel and how these affect Jew hatred. About half the respondents in Portugal, Poland and Hungary see anti-Semitic sentiments as based on Israels political activities, while around 40% of respondents in most participating countries affirm the drastic assessment that the Israeli state is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians, the studys authors write.
In Poland, the number of respondents who agree with the claim of an Israeli war of extermination is even higher, at 63%. Nearly half of the German respondents 48% agreed with the statement. The number was 49% in Portugal, 42% in Britain, 41% in Hungary, 39% in Holland and 38% in Italy.
The Friedrich Ebert Foundation is affiliated with Germanys main opposition Social Democratic Party. According to the Foundation, the study is the very first to supply comprehensive and comparable data about the extent of prejudice and discrimination against the main target groups in eight selected European countries France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Portugal.
In the Netherlands, for instance, fewer than 18% of respondents said Jews were trying to take advantage of their peoples suffering during the Shoah, while more than 40% strongly disagreed with that statement. However, nearly half of the German responders agreed with it (23% of them strongly and 26%) while less than 20% strongly disagreed.
Asked if Jews have too much influence in their country, about 70% of Hungarians, 50% of Poles and 20% of Germans agreed. In the Netherlands whose current foreign minister, Uri Rosenthal, is Jewish 3.4% strongly agreed and 18 percent somewhat agreed.
Thirty percent of German and 22% of British respondents agreed with the statement that Jews in general do not care about anything or anyone but their own kind. In Portugal, that number is even higher, at about 55%, according to the report.
However, a majority in all surveyed countries agrees with the statement that Jews are an enrichment for their culture.
Anti-Semitism has a long and uniquely terrible history in Europe, the studys authors, Andreas Zick, Beate Kuepper, Andreas Hövermann, write. The German surveys that we have been conducting at regular intervals since 2002, as well as studies in other European countries that have a different history of anti-Semitism, demonstrate that anti- Semitism is an important component of group-focused enmity. It is particularly conspicuous in the eastern European countries.
The 190-page study also examines other phenomena of what the researchers call group-focused enmity, such as old-fashioned racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiments. The findings generally reveal that group-focused enmity is widespread in Europe, being weakest in the Netherlands and strongest in Poland and Hungary. About half of all European respondents, for instance, consider Islam a religion of intolerance and believe there are too many immigrants in their country. More than half of French respondents said that Muslims are too demanding.
While the different prejudices measured by the study are very different in nature and seem to have no influence on one another, they are indeed interconnected, the researchers write. Those who denigrate one group are very likely to target other groups too, they write.
The results of the study will be presented and discussed at Tel Avivs Beit Sokolov on May 1. The prime minister of the German state of Brandenburg, Matthias Platzeck, is scheduled to deliver the keynote speech at the event, entitled Racism and anti-Semitism on the rise again? Anti-democratic tendencies in todays multicultural Europe.
This Wednesday, on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Moshe Kantor program for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Racism at Tel Aviv University and European Jewish Congress will present its findings regarding the state of global anti-Semitism worldwide in 2010.

Natural Resources and Environment:
EPA's Efforts To Identify and Control Harmful Chemicals in Use
RCED-84-100, Jun 13, 1984
(202) 275-5489
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) current progress in reviewing and controlling existing chemicals as mandated under the Toxic Substances Control Act.
Since 1982, EPA has begun to make progress in implementing the existing chemicals program by establishing a process for identifying, assessing, and controlling existing chemical hazards. However, the chemicals program has had low priority in relation to other activities and, since fiscal year 1981, there has been a downward trend in funding for the program. EPA has begun to make progress in implementing the existing chemicals program by establishing a process for identifying, assessing, and controlling existing chemical hazards; developing a plan for implementing the program; and establishing an existing chemicals task force to develop, monitor, and manage the program. Since the act's passage, EPA has: (1) regulated 4 chemicals; (2) identified 60 chemicals that may present an unreasonable risk and need to be evaluated; and (3) determined that 41 additional chemicals require testing. Initially, EPA did not meet the act's mandate to initiate chemical test rulemaking proceedings within 1 year because of a lack of resources, and it had not proposed test rules. Finally, EPA has designated and assessed only two chemicals for 180-day priority review because those chemicals significantly increase the risk of harm from cancer, birth defects, or gene mutations.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Matter: Congress may want to consider alternatives for increasing the number of chemicals considered for priority review, if Congress believes that EPA should use this provision more frequently. Congress could: (1) require EPA to designate chemicals which are known to cause cancer, gene mutations, or birth defects; (2) establish an advisory group of representatives from federal research and regulatory agencies to recommend chemicals for EPA to consider for priority review; (3) provide EPA the authority to gather additional information to properly assess a chemical's risk during review; or (4) require EPA to include in its annual reports the chemicals it considered for priority review, its decisions, and the related reasons for the decisions.
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: Bills to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act were introduced by both requesting subcommittee chairmen, but these bills were not acted on by the full committees during the last session of Congress. Amendments to the act are not actively being considered because legislative committees are giving priority to other environmental legislation.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Administrator, EPA, should finalize proposed test rulemaking within a reasonable time, such as a goal of 12 to 18 months after proposal. If EPA is not able to finalize test rules in a reasonable time, it should inform Congress of the delay, the reasons, and suggest solutions such as negotiated testing agreements, additional resources, or legislative changes.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In June 1986, EPA published interim final procedures for the chemical testing process. EPA proposes to issue consent orders as an alternative to rulemaking, in appropriate circumstances. EPA believes that this procedure could save 12 to 18 months compared with the rulemaking process.

Obamacare imposes numerous tax hikes which total more than $500 billion over 10 years. Obamacare's higher tax rates on income and investment will slow economic growth, leaving hardworking American families and businesses worse off. A particularly harmful new payroll tax on investment income goes into effect in January 2013.

A plan for how to redraw Texas' congressional and state legislative districts that was put together by a three-judge federal court in San Antonio was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court this morning because, the justices ruled, the lower court should not have disregarded the Texas state legislature's wishes and should not have stepped into that legislature's shoes.

The U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments Monday in a case near and dear to EPA haters.
It would seem to be a David-and-Goliath case that pits a middle-class American couple trying to build their dream home against the Environmental Protection Agency. But the couple, Michael and Chantell Sackett, is backed by a veritable who's who in American mining, oil, utilities, manufacturing and real estate development, as well as groups opposed to government regulation.

The U.S. Supreme Court has once again rebuked the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, based in California. This time, the court, by a 6-to-3 vote, reinstated the conviction of a California grandmother for shaking her baby grandson to death. The court's unsigned opinion, provoked a strong dissent from three of the justices, who accused the court majority of using a "tragic case" to "teach the Ninth Circut a lesson."
It's the latest episode in Sister Wives. But this time it's playing out in the courtroom, not on cable. On Wednesday, the Brown family — the husband, four wives, and 16 children who star in the reality TV show — plans to file a lawsuit in federal court in Utah. The family members say the state's anti-bigamy law is unconstitutional and that Supreme Court precedent backs them up.
When it comes time to put some style into court opinions and legal briefs by plucking a line or two from a songwriter's oeuvre, Bob Dylan's lyrics are by far the No. 1 choice of justices and law clerks around the nation, the Los Angeles Times writes this morning.
Even Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Antonin Scalia, two men you would not think of in connection with the writer of many of the 1960s' best-known protest songs, have done it.

I found this to be a telling response from Butch Jones when he was asked yesterday after practice about the signing of junior college wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins. The question was about what a recruiting coup it was for Jones because some of the biggest programs in the country were recruiting him. Jones' answer? "I […]

From 1992 through 2005, UC was a mainstay in the NCAA Tournament. It was a habit so deeply ingrained in the program that it came to be taken for granted, with fans complaining when the Bearcats didn't make it to the Sweet 16. But now, five long years have passed since that last NCAA Tournament appearance, losing […]
A few parting shots

A few post-midnight thoughts on the season: – I really believed that this team would be good enough to play in the NCAA Touranment. I believed that not knowing that it would be so bad offensively. With Vaughn, Stephenson, Gates and Wright, it seemed to me there was plenty of scoring on that roster. I was […]
Dayton 81, UC 66 – final
03/22/10 at 11:19pm by Bill Koch | Comments
Vaughn finished with 28 points and passed Danny Fortson for third on the career scoring list. UC was outscored, 29-16, over the final 11:03.
Dayton 59, UC 53 – 7:43 2nd half
03/22/10 at 10:47pm by Bill Koch | Comments
Vaughn now has a season-high 22 points but is getting very little offensive help from his teammates. UC is getting outrebounded by six.
Dayton 52, UC 47 – 11:37 2nd half
03/22/10 at 10:39pm by Bill Koch | Comments
After closing the deficit to one point, UC went cold, missing five of its next shots and Dayton took advantage to rebuild its lead to 52-45. Vaughn has yet to score in the second half. He now has 1,873 career points, eight behind Danny Fortson's 1,881 for third place on UC's career scoring list.
Dayton 46, UC 43 – 15:25 2nd half
03/22/10 at 10:26pm by Bill Koch | Comments
This game is being played with all the intensity of an NCAA Tournament game. After making 7 of its first 11 3-points, UD has gone 2-for-11 from long range.

Boring. Staff are rude. Expensive. There is absolutely nothing interesting in this museum. Not reccomended at all.
Boring. Staff are rude. Expensive. There is absolutely nothing interesting in this museum. Not reccomended at all.
My kids couldn't find anything to do there. They were looking for touch and play experience, but couldn't find any. For adults very intermediate exhibition
We came with our 4-year old boy, hoping this is a good idea. BUT, after they took our money for the ticket, the staff told us, we can not enter in the museum with our backpacks. My husband tried to explain that he is a photographer and his equipment worth several thousand dollars, beside that there were our passports, documents,... More
Do not expect a lot of trains, planes and automobiles in this museum. But it is a good place to visit with young children, I would say up to 13 yrs old. There is a collection of trains (most models), cars and a space capsule. There is also a small collection of toys from the past. The location in the... More
A modern well layed out museum. Not that big with trains and model trains of the glory times of steam. Up stairs the history of ships in all there model glory,even down to the Titanic that the son of my great grand father went down with as a second class passenger.
Well, it's far from center but if you are traveling with children you may like it. There are many real old locomotives, trams even one or two airplanes within. You can climb inside some of them. There is great quantity of models: moving trains, working pneumo-post machine, ships, old socialist toys and so on. Almost no computers but you that... More
Excellent selection of exhibits with the main emphasis on rail. Fantastic models and collection of photos. I would avoid going when there is a school trip as the kids are running about when you are trying to read displays. Very good museum and a good day out, well worth a visit.
Having read on the museum's Internet site the week before arrival that the aircraft department of the museum only was open on Fridays and Saturdays I came to the museum Friday 5. October 2012 only to find the aircraft department closed from 1. October due to "technical reasons". This without any previous information. I had come from Norway only to... More
Not much help was available as the pitch of the museum seems to be for locals with little information available for non-native speakers. The aircraft part of the museum's located elsewhere a short distance away, which is something I wasn't advised about, so this was very disappointing. It was very annoying to be excluded from the cars exhibit hall due... More
We very much enjoyed this wide-ranging museum. It has a marvellous collection of transport modes and gives a good portrayal of social change mediated by transport over the past 150 years in particular. The impressive entrance approach featuring a train locomotive and biplane sets the tone. We like vintage and veteran cars and there are some very impressive models on... More

Dreamchaser, I came into your thread agreeing with you, and happy that you were articulately explaining the necessity of change in MMOs, and the dominance of time (which I would have probably raged against 10 years ago, when I had it!). Then your post fell so deeply into hyperbole that I began to question my own beliefs. Consequently, I am now less interested in GW2, and feel slightly ashamed for being so much of a fanboy. IMO (now), this is a small step, not a revolution. |
Ever since WOW's carrot on the stick gear elitism design, mmo's have suffered greatly. I remember back in my SWG days wanting to unlock a jedi. It took me over 7 months to unlock and skill him up to full template. Did i think that i was more of a elite player for the time invested than a master craftsman that had a customer list that was long as my arm, hell no. On the other hand was there others that felt they were better because they unlocked a jedi, probably yes, but it just didn't feel that way as how it did/does in WOW or all the other games that followed that carrot design. I really feel it was because of the openess and player interdependency that SWG had in place, i needed things that others did and made and the circle kept moving. Yea i could swing a glow bat around, but having my name on the top of a Bounty Hunters list and having to go toe to toe with players that were as equally as skilled as i was and not relying on who had the best gear is what made great gameplay. If GW2 can capture just a little bit of that type of player dynamics and interdependency, then they will have done something that has been needed to come back for a long time. |
Originally posted by Sythion Time will tell if it's even a small step. Everybody thought GW 1 was going to 'change everything', then they saw it as a 'small step'. It's been neither. Nobody is trying to expand upon what GW 1 did except for ANet with GW 2. Supposedly, GW 1 sold really well, but NOBODY is trying to follow a similar format. Nobody has even announced a game similar to GW 2, but somehow we're supposed to believe it's going to be a giant revolution in the industry. It's going to release to much fanfair, then people are going to see that it's nothing new and the hype will die down within three months. |
I''ve never seen such a great op turn into poor written name calling so fast. I disagree with most of the points, however, the original post was incredibly constructed. The reason I'm responding though is because the op and his quip about self entitlement. It's extremely funny that he calls out those with more time spent in a game, and calls them entitled. When to me it's just the other way around. Casual gamers (which I am) seem to want to be able to log into their chosen game and have their mailbox filled with items on par with raiding items. To me the only ones exhuding entitlement are casual players. Eventually, the whine and casual passive-aggressive complaints are going to change mmo's the want they want them to be. I can see it now, upon character creation you will choose whether you're a hardcore player or a casual player. Upon choosing hardcore players will log on and play the game how they want to. Then casual players will receive the same amount of xp as the hardcore player does while sitting in the starting city. On top of that, any piece of shiny new gear that the hardcore player finds is immediately duplicated and mailed to all casual players. Seems like a glorious game to me, finally the time vs rewards arguement will be solved. |
I liked your post but I think you generalized a bit too much. Most folks are much more complex and their reasons for playing a game much more varied than you outlined. For instance: I am a hardcore casual...hardcore in that I play daily for a couple of hours, and casual in that I rarely reach max level. I hate to feel controlled by an experience bar. I will go off and explore, or try to find treasure, or do a couple of quests, play a bit of pvp, take care of my house (if I have one), bring out my favorite pets and mounts because I like to look at them, check out my outfit to see if it still appeals to my taste, look for an achievement to complete, talk with folks if they stay still for a min or two, etc. So why am I telling you all this? I'm ready for GW2. I can't wait to play by their ruleset and experience the game through their vision. To me, a great mmo offers a variety of cool things to do, to be and to acquire (even if it is virtual). |
I coulld careless about the game. Calling ppl out of thier names because they disagree with you POV is shameful. |
In the old days you had F2P titles with P2W cash shops, then in a glorious stroke of innovation Anet sold us B2P titles with P2W cash shops and a subset of the MMO population cried out in thanks.
Basically the people who have time to play games should not be rewarded and casual players like yourself with large sums of cash should get instant gratification and also be able to purchase anything they desire in the cash shop? Is this what you were trying to say? Not sure if I am following correctly, well contructed write up though, I must say. |
Where i can try this game so i can see if is that true what are you writing? Or is that just a wish. I was for some time in first gw and comunity was not so super awesome, so i wonder why you except from new gw comunity to be something special and one holy example in mmo world? But i must give a credit to gw2 fan club--you have a really good imagination guys :). I wish you a luck but i think this game is not something what can start new era of mmo gaming. Good yes but nothing more and nothing less. |
Originally posted by grindery Don't forget! No more classes! Upon starting to simply choose to either be an Angel or a Demon. Either one can tank, heal and DPS with the only difference being a simple series of sliders that you can move around on your character sheet. All gear is just cosmetic, but since the casuals don't want to actually hunt down better skins they just have them mailed to them whenever a hardcore finds a new one. Any time a hardcore finds a rare mount or pet the casuals on the server have the option to spawn that item in their pack just by clicking a button. |

Originally posted by grindery FINALLY someone nailed it. 2 pages of simple cheerleading and no one seemed to get it. Instead they choose to see thru their rose-tinted glasses and dance around in their fanboy shirts around the real topics at hand and pretend everything is ok, and everyone else is completely wrong if they disagree. |

The thread title sounded sarcastic in my head. I was expecting a hate thread. |
Originally posted by RefMinor [mod edit] ANet with GW1 didn't even had the cash shop when it was launched... It was implemented after and offers character outfits, extra char slots, name change, gender change, bonus mission pack for EOTN, pvp items and spells for pvp char only, and that's about it I think... So where's the P2W in that GW cash shop? "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." |
Originally posted by Somsbal Sisco facepalm. Exactly. Maybe I need a sarcasm font since you don't seem to get it. |
The OP is a good, well written post. But I have a bit of a different point of view that I want to put out there. I have never been about grinding for items, oneups-manship, or anything like that. My proof of this is that I have NEVER got max level in any MMORPG (except for AoC and that was because of a bug). I'm more about playing the game...I'm not interested in grinding the same tasks over and over again to get a shiny bauble. If I really enjoy an MMORPG...I usually play until just about max level and then quit or start an alt because I'm not interested in grinding after getting max level. And yet, I am extremely put off by the whole RMT / buying gold for cash thing...but for entirely different reasons you think. First, I like to envision an MMORPG as a little encapsulated world. Everything you achieve in an MMORPG should (IMO) be due to your efforts in the MMORPG, and nothing else. Even if that effort is joining a wealthy guild that helps you out...that still counts. It just makes it more immersive. But once you allow people to spend real money for gold, the world is no longer encapsulated. I can literally spend a few minutes in the MMORPG world and be the richest person in the game without talking to anyone, by simply paying cash. Second, I'm kind of old school. And back in the day of the NES, whenever a game was too hard, you would use a cheat code. The cheat code just gave you some kind of advantage to make the game easier. But now cash shops offer in-game advantages (gold counts) for money...and to me, this is kind of like selling "cheats." It just doesn't sit well for me that I now have to pay everytime I press "up down up down left right left right BABA Start." Imagine if Contra made you do that? My parents would have been pissed! Also...cheats have never been in MMORPGs and there's a reason for that. Because if they were, then everyone woudl cheat and completely compromise the game. I don't really see how it's better that now only people who pay can "cheat." I grant that the cheats aren't nearly as severe as they are in SP games...but the point stands. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |
Originally posted by RefMinor LOL :). I know right? Buying gold totally sucked until ANet did it! Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Chase Iron Eyes in Last Real Indians. Discussion »
Pe Sla, SOUTH DAKOTA The unthinkable has happened! The world has shown its support and the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) has provided a powerful new narrative for Indigenous people. Indigenous is not a human construct as is "race." Indigenous is a respect relationship between families, nations and life's creatures, land, sacred sites, water, with each other, and with the holy powers of the Universe. Indigenous is not anthropocentric, but biocentric. Mitakuye Oyasin We Are All Related. Even western science has reached this conclusion, finally. Pe'Sla is secured. Our ancestors are watching us, expecting us to fulfill our roles and reach our potential.
The Pe'Sla effort was driven and shared by many throughout the world, including Dr. Sara Jumping Eagle, Dana Lone Hill, Ruth Hopkins and all who donated time, energy, money and artwork for perks in the first campaign. There are simply too many people in too many capacities to thank. What a whirlwind when we activate. LRI wants to extend its gratitude to the bands of the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) who stepped up to make this happen along with the Indian Land Tenure Foundation. We owe a special shout out to DJ Two Bears, Sol Guy, Ezra Miller, Anneliese Vandenberg, and Piet Suess who helped spring the movement back into consciousness with the second campaign. Additionally, thanks to celebrities P. Diddy, Bette Midler, Lou Diamond Phillips, Rosanne Barr, Whoopi Goldberg, Ashley Judd, and Susan Sarandon who retweeted to raise awareness to help save Pe'Sla. Most thankfully, we send a voice to our spiritual leaders who answer the call to travel to our sacred sites to perform obligations on our behalf.
From the bottom of my heart and spirit I know the world is a better place because of the Pe'Sla campaign. Lastrealindians, Inc. has contributed over $900,000 toward the total purchase price of $9 Million. All the day-to-day hustle to meet our basic needs in the artificial, destructive corporate economy fades away when we are engaged in prayer. Our spirits are lifted. I know that when considerable numbers of people around the globe are all thinking and praying about Pe'Sla, our collective human consciousness ascends in a prayer bringing us all to the center. This is a story that transcends race, space and linear time. Ceremonies have been conducted at Pe'Sla for untold millennia. Indeed, the ceremonies carried out at Pe'Sla are for the survival of humanity and the renewal of life's gifts.
These are times of prophecy. White buffalo calves are being born, earthquakes and tsunamis abound, droughts ravage our lands, we as humans have lost our way; but there is still hope. We want hope and our spirits require more than what money, oil, and pop "culture" can offer us. As Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe Bundle, says, "We humans send sacred energy, we have power, but we don't use it and we need to in these times; our prophecies tell us to return to the Black Hills." It is time we come together as one. When we are at our center we are one with the Universe. There is nothing more powerful than dedicated humans strong in their love for Creator. Indeed, this is the only thing that will save us. I believe this is a sign that humans are returning to their center as Crazy Horse said they would: Read More »

Exploring The Planets Discovery |
Ancient Times
Five planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were known to the ancients. To the unaided eye, these planets appear starlike. However, the planets moved relative to the stars. For this reason they were called wandering stars. Our word "planet" comes from the Greek word planetes, meaning "wanderer".
Planets As Gods
To the people of many ancient civilizations, the planets were thought to be deities. Our names for the planets are the Roman names for these deities. For example, Mars was the god of war and Venus the goddess of love.
The Greeks
What are the uniform and ordered movements, by the assumption of which the apparent movements of the planets can be accounted for?
- Plato 4th Century B.C.
Plato wondered why the starlike planets moved relative to the stars. Trying to answer the question was to occupy the attention of astronomers for many centuries.
Ptolemy (About 100-179 A.D.)
In the second century A.D., the Greek astronomer Ptolemy devised a theory for the Solar System that was to survive for 14 centuries.
Ptolemy's book, the "Almagest", contained accurate descriptions of the motions of planets. It was the standard astronomical reference until the Renaissance.
