Vincenzo Nibali (LIQ) rejoins the chase initiated by Quintana.
Quintana (MOV), Machado (RNT), Charteau (EUC), Fofonov (AST) and Chérel (ALM) are the five riders gone away from the bunch. They're one minute down on the leading trio.
Yesterday's stage winner Nairo Quintana (MOV) accelerates again at the head of the peloton. A few riders try to follow. Tiago Machado (RNT) is one of them.
The yellow jersey group led by BMC has been reduced to about 50 riders. The likes of Samuel Sanchez (EUS) and Rein Taraamäe (COF) have been dropped.
With 25km to go, the leading trio has 35 seconds over Fofonov (AST) and 48 seconds over Le Mével (GRM). Peloton at 1.15.
Sylvain Chavanel (OPQ) is no longer in between the leading trio and the peloton. He's been caught by the BMC-led peloton.

2. Pierre Rolland, 9
3. Lieuwe Westra, 8
At 35 seconds:
4. Dimitri Fofonov, 7
5. Christophe Le Mével, 6
6. Sylvain Chavanel, 5
At 1 minute: Yaroslav Popovych and Stijn Vandenbergh
At 1.45: Luis Angel Maté and Alessandro Vanotti
At 1.55: peloton
In the côte de la Vernaz, Stijn Vandenbergh (OPQ) gets dropped off the breakaway. The gap goes down: 1.24. Only four riders in the lead now: Chavanel, Rolland, Coppel and Westra.
The Katusha team shows up at the front of the bunch with BMC and Sky, chasing hard behind the eight breakaway riders. That indicates stage win ambitions by Dani Moreno who already claimed stage 2 in Saint-Félicien.
40 kilometres before the finish, the advantage of the eight leaders has decreased under the action of Philippe Gilbert: 1.45.
The maximum lead for the eight breakaway riders has been recorded at km 69: 2.35. Belgian champion Philippe Gilbert (BMC) is now at the head of the peloton where teams BMC and Sky look like riding hard.
Former Critérium du Dauphiné contender Oscar Pujol has won the overall classification of the Tour of Singkarak in Indonesia.
The difference between the eight escapees and the bunch is 2.15 at km 61.
After the col de Cou, José Sarmiento (LIQ) has a lead of 31 points over Blel Kadri (ALM) in the King of the Mountains competition. As there are 29 points up for grab at the top of the three remaining climbs, the Colombian will win the polka dot jersey, shall he finish in the time cut in Châtel.
Richie Porte was a happy man after taking part in the strong showing of Team Sky yesterday in the ascent to col de Joux-Plane. The Australian told letour.fr this morning: "It wasn't such a bad climb after all", he said. "I'm confident that we have the capacity to defend Bradley's yellow jersey again today. I've been told that the col du Corbier is favourable to maintain a lead. It's hard but not that steep and the downhill isn't dangerous if my information is correct. I'd be very happy and proud to go on stage this afternoon for winning the team's classification. It's very nice to be part of such a great team."
Result of the KOM price at col de Cou, km 56:
1. Sylvain Chavanel, 4 points
2. Christophe Le Mével, 3
3. Stijn Vandenbergh, 2
4. Yaroslav Popovych, 1
At 1.40: Matt Lloyd
At 2.10: the peloton
Jérôme Coppel (SAU) is the highest ranked rider of the breakaway. He's 15th with a 4.39 deficit from race leader Bradley Wiggins. He's also the best placed French rider so far.
The col du Corbier is set to be the crucial climb of the last stage of the Dauphiné, 22.5km before the finish in Châtel. It became famous in the history of cycling during the 1985 Tour de France. Bernard Hinault already had a comfortable lead at the start of stage 11 in Pontarlier. However, he attacked with 60 kilometres to go together with Luis Herrera. "We rode the col du Corbier but on the other versant than today", Hinault told letour.fr. "I remember that it was raining badly and the big fight was on. We caused some damage! I think that we've passed the col du Corbier the same way as today another year in the Dauphiné." At the 1985 Tour de France, Hinault was second to Herrera at the finish in Morzine where his lead on GC increased to four minutes over runner up Greg LeMond who was his team-mate and 5.52 over Stephen Roche.
The eight attackers are united at the front at km 51 with 2.15 over the peloton: Fofonov (AST), Rolland (EUC), Popovych (RNT), Le Mével (GRM), Chavanel and Vandenbergh (OPQ), Coppel (ALM) and Westra (VCD).
Sylvain Chavanel (OPQ) makes it across to the leading trio. The four riders away have 25 seconds advantage over Fofonov, Popovych, Le Mével and Vandenbergh. Peloton at 2.50 at km 50.
The head of the race has covered 48.6 kilometres in the first hour.
Three riders in the lead: Rolland (EUC), Coppel (SAU) and Westra (VCD).
At 15 seconds: Chavanel and Vandenbergh (OPQ).
At 30 seconds: Fofonov (AST), Popovych (RNT) and Le Mével (GRM).
At 1 minute: the peloton.
Contacted by letour.fr, Europcar's directeur sportif Andy Flickinger explained why Thomas Voeckler pulled out: "He felt a knee injury since yesterday. It's a precautionary decision to stop. It doesn't seem too bad but we don't want the injury to get worse."
Jérôme Coppel (SAU) was the attacker, he's been followed by Pierre Rolland (EUC) and Lieuwe Westra (VCD). They have 15 seconds lead at km 43.
Three riders have taken some advance at km 40.5.
Result of the KOM price at côte de Mijouet, km 39.5:
1. José Sarmiento, 3 points
2. Brice Feillu, 2
3. Daniel Navarro, 1
Pauriol, Cimolai and Devenyns have been reined in at km 30.
Stage 7 won't be another opportunity for Thomas Voeckler (EUC) to try and win, as he has pulled out of the race at km 28.
The three breakaway riders are: Rémi Pauriol (FDJ), Davide Cimolai (LAM) and Dries Devenyns (OPQ).
A Lampre-ISD rider has initiated a 3-man breakaway at km 27.
The bunch is all together after 25 kilometres of racing.
French Tour de France hero Thomas Voeckler (EUC) is highly awaited today, as the stage's finale suits him really and he must be frustrated after the lack of success of his move yesterday. His directeur sportif Andy Flickinger said prior to the start: "Thomas didn't have good legs yesterday and there were too many riders in the breakaway, it couldn't work. We'll try again today. The col du Corbier seems favourable for an escape to make it to the finish."
Daniel Teklehaimanot (OGE), the only African rider in the race, has tried to go solo but the peloton hasn't let him go.
It's all together again at km 18.5.
11 riders have taken a small advantage over the peloton.
The bunch has passed Taninges after 15 kilometres of fast racing. Opportunities to break away should appear soon.
Sylvain Chavanel has tried to attack in the downhill after Les Gets but the bunch was riding too fast. "I'm very satisfied with my week of racing", he told our estimated colleague Gilles Le Roc'h from Reuters prior to the start. "I feel much better than the previous years when I rode the Tour de Suisse and I suffered quite a lot. It's a good sign before the Tour de France."
Team Sky has increased their lead in the teams' classification yesterday after their strong showing in the queen-stage. The British squad has an advantage of 8.56 over Movistar and 9.57 over BMC. A change of leadership seems highly unlikely today.
Mikaël Chérel of Ag2r-La Mondiale talked to letour.fr prior to the start: "We don't know if there is any possibility of breaking away today", he acknowledged. "Team Sky has dominated the race so much so far! Up to now, they haven't let much chance to the attackers. But today, we have to go on the offensive. At Ag2r-La Mondiale, we have two cards to play: either a punchy finish with Rinaldo Nocentini, or a breakaway from far out with riders in good form. We're looking for opportunities because we are nowhere on GC and we want to finish the Dauphiné on a good note. I crashed yesterday at the top of la Colombière [with Basque rider Gorka Verdugo], so I was treated by the physiotherapist last night. I hope it won't hurt today during the stage. It's going to be short and fast. We're seven Ag2r-La Mondiale riders likely to enter a breakaway. We'll attack with the hope that Team Sky will give us some freedom."
Bradley Wiggins (SKY) retained the yellow-blue after yesterday's queen stage finishing in Morzine. He's got 1.24 lead over Michael Rogers who is his team-mate. His main rival, Cadel Evans (BMC), stands in third place at 1.36.
Cadel Evans (BMC) wears the green jersey again, as he did after winning stage 1 in Saint-Vallier. He leads the points classification with 56 points. Three riders can mathematically beat him: Tony Gallopin (RNT) who is second with 51 points, Bradley Wiggins, 47, and Dani Moreno, 43.
José Sarmiento (LIQ) leads the King of the Mountains competition with 88 points. He's got a comfortable advance over Blel Kadri (ALM) and David Moncoutié (COF), both with 61 points.
Wilco Kelderman (RAB) retained the white jersey but he has only 25 seconds of advantage left over Tejay Van Garderen (BMC). This is going to be an interesting fight today!
It's a downhill start today from Morzine, until Taninges after 15km. Four riders have attacked from the gun, but they have been brought back.
The start proper has been given to 155 riders at 11.26.
Five climbs count for the King of the Mountains price today:
- Côte de Mijouet, cat. 4, 2.2km at 5.3%, km 39.5
- Col de Cou, cat. 3, 6.6km at 4.4%, km 56
- Côte de la Vernaz, cat. 2, 3.2km at 8.2%, km 89.5
- Col du Corbier, cat. 1, 7.7km at 7.3% (alt. 1230m), km 102
- Châtel, cat. 3, 1.5km at 8.7%, km 124.5
Welcome to the live coverage of stage 7 from Morzine to Châtel. It's the last day of racing at the 64th Critérium du Dauphiné and a very short stage indeed: 124.5 kilometres!

GREENFIELD PARK, N.Y.Ā -- A fire that destroyed more than 30 structures, including the former Tamarack Lodge, may have been caused by an intentional debris fire that burned out of control, according to the Ulster County Sheriff's Office.
The fire began at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Ellenville Fire Chief Howard Troue said. He said the emergency call came in as a brush fire that was endangering a structure at the former Tamarack Lodge property on state Route 52. When firefighters arrived on the scene, they found one building fully involved in fire and a second one already "well involved," Troue said.
"The wind and the dry conditions just blew it and it was like a fire storm," Troue said Sunday afternoon.
The fire ultimately spread across Route 52 and affected about 50 acres in the area, Ulster County sheriff's deputies said. Deputies said more than 30 structures were destroyed and four firefighters received minor injuries. The firefighters were taken to a local hospital, treated and released, deputies said.
Troue said the fire spread to some nearby homes. He said about 20 people were displaced by the blaze.
"I've never seen nothing like it in my life," Troue said of the fire.
The Ellenville Fire Department received mutual aid from 46 other fire companies, Troue said. He said nearly every fire department in Ulster County came to help with the blaze, as did some from Sullivan, Orange and Dutchess counties.
There were more than 300 volunteers on the scene.
The fire was under control by 2 a.m. Sunday, Troue said. He said some of the remains were still smoldering Sunday afternoon, but everything had been pushed into the foundations of the former buildings.
Scorched earth was visible on both sides of Route 52 near the former lodge property and there was a smell of smoke in the air. Debris from some the demolished buildings could be seen, with some of the remains still smoldering.
The official cause of the fire was still undetermined as of Sunday afternoon.
"We're still looking at the scene," Ulster County Undersheriff Frank Faluotico said Sunday afternoon.
Deputies said the preliminary cause of the fire is believed to have been the intentional burning of debris that grew out of control. Ulster County is among counties under a burn restriction by the state Department of Environmental Conservation from March 16 to May 15, deputies added. Deputies said there have also been several public announcements regarding "Red Flag" warning from the National Weather Service.
Deputies said the Ellenville Fire Department and Ulster County Fire Coordinators Office, along with the mutual aid fire companies, worked on "structure suppression, structure protection and forest fire suppression" during the incident. Deputies said about 30 structures were involved in the fire, 10 of which were occupied. No residents were injured, deputies added.
New York state forest rangers focused on forest fire suppression, constructing fire control lines with hand crews and bulldozers, burnout operations and mop-up, deputies said. Work was continuing throughout Sunday and was expected to continue into today, deputies said.
Volunteers from the Mid-Hudson Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross provided assistance to the first responders dealing with the fire.
On Sunday, Wawarsing town Supervisor Scott Carlsen said it was the worst fire in his area of Ulster County that he has ever seen.
"Just the nature of how fast it moved because of the high winds," Carlsen said. It jumped (Route) 52 and went from the structures into the forest; we had fires in the woods."
According to the website Indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com, the lodge has been the recent subject of litigation between the Western Mohegan Tribe and Nation and former attorneys for the tribe and its investor group, BGA LLC of Illinois.
The Indian nation and BGA filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection March 9, halting the sale of the property by the Ulster County Sheriff's Office.
Former lawyers of BGA and the tribe claim they are owed more than $200,000 in unpaid legal bills and have been trying to force the sale of the property since 2010.
The tribe reportedly owes creditors almost $8 million and the lodge was recently assessed at slightly more than $1.2 million.
The Western Mohegans purchased the lodge from Ulster County in 2001 for $900,000 and also paid $950,000 to the previous owners of the property, who had been forced into foreclosure due to unpaid taxes.
The tribe claimed in 2008 that when it purchased the property from the county, it did so with the understanding that it would not have to pay taxes. Instead, the tribe argued, it was to give the county a percentage of the total profit made on the property.
The Western Mohegans had planned to use the property as a casino and have been unsuccessful in attempts to have the federal government recognize the tribe as an official Indian nation.
Representatives of the Western Mohegans could not be reached Sunday.

Scorpio - JAPE
Dark shadows on a window screen
Are flickering like a dream machine
We're Driving where the air is a ghost

Its breathing and calling me
Oh, where the river goes
The human air it looks like it flows

The Consequences of Fun
Fun causes guilt, apparently.
I really love how every key word in this quote is subjective. Immoral? One man's uncrossable line is another man's Tuesday afternoon. Illegal? So much depends on the state (it's probably legal in Alaska) and era you're in (that jerk Jim Crow). Fattening? Well, any food is fattening if you eat five gallons of it.
It seems that somebody (or a committee of well-meaning busy-bodies) is always hard at work declaring things good or bad, legal and illegal, immoral or commendable. And we bristle at that sorting. We reflexively think: "Fattening? It must be delicious. Illegal? There must be something to it. Immoral? According to who?"
Our collective idea of fun then, is by definition a little naughty. The more we're told not to do something, the more irresistible it becomes. Society makes guilt and fun into dueling emotions.
Lump those words together: immoral, illegal, fattening, and you can't help but smile. That pile of words describes something really tempting, you just know it. But remember: tomorrow, you'll feel awful about it.

Because You Never Know Where the Night Will Take You
At first, I thought that Miss O'Connor was talking about a naked woman found on the side of the road, but then I remembered my mom's warnings about the importance of clean underwear in the event of a car accident.
But why? Do clean underpants really matter when you've been thrown through the windshield or you're pinned under the soon-to-explode engine? I pondered this more than is probably healthy, and have narrowed it down to two possible explanations:
1: The Judgmental Triage Myth
Perhaps there was some sort of urban legend about paramedics taking care of the person with the nicest underthings first. Thus good, clean drawers could really be the difference between life and death. Also, I'm sure that news would spread quickly though town if you were found wearing icky (or even worse, nonexistent) underthings, and then you would most certainly die of embarrassment.
2: Modesty at All Times
Maybe this warning was issued because proper, devout Catholic ladies like my mom and O'Connor were just very concerned with being modest and dignified in all situations, even (especially?) in situations where one might just happen to be unconscious and bleeding from the head.
Either way: Be careful out there.

Spinning off a Comic With a Reference Book
Welcome to a spin-off. "All in the Family" spun off "The Jeffersons." That rusty merry-go-round spun your cousin off into the gravel. Spin-offs are often fun.
Anyway. My original webcomic, Indexed, has been online since 2006. I've drawn over 3,000 charts, graphs, and odd little cards. And hey: office supplies are cheap, so think I have another couple thousand still in me. Besides, drawing webcomics is an amazing way to avoid having a day-job.
Speaking of jobs: this site! Yep, Smithsonian was keen to host even more of my cartoons, and they were not entirely horrified that I wanted to do something a little different with them.
Thus, I am illustrating interesting quotations in Indexed form. Yes! Good times. I'm using a single book, The Yale Book of Quotations, for all of the source quotes. This is good for two reasons:
- I won't end up misquoting anyone: because that would be shameful.
- I already own this book: so I don't have to do any tedious ordering or paying or shipping or stealing to get my hands on a copy.
Like Indexed itself, this idea is one of those things that's much easier to show than tell. So, here you go—I hope you like it.

Guided Tour
Part 9 - Machining - continued. The next step is to specify the cutting tool geometry. The first pass will be a rough cut with a larger tool. Select the Cutting Tool Type "Ball". In the "R" (radius) field, enter 0.2 . Leave the "O" field set to zero. In the "H" (height) field, enter 0.15 . In the "D" (maximum cutting depth) field, enter 0.3 . Press the "Enter" keyboard key in any of these fields, and the spinning tool profile is drawn in the Cutting Tool window. Note that if "R" does not equal "H" for a "Ball" tool type, then the tool tip shape is actually elliptical. The "O" (offset) value must be less than the "R" value. It can be used (when greater than zero) for specifying bullnose bits and other specially-shaped tools. If the tool type is "Ball Taper", then the "O" parameter specifies the radius of the tip. The final step to generating a tool path is to specify the tool path parameters. All of the Cutting Path types key off of the data coordinate scale origin. For example, the "Radial" path type uses the data coordinate 0,0 as the center point for the radials. Leave the Cutting Path Type set to "Traverse Horizontal". Machining can be performed on the entire surface, or it can be limited to an area specified by the current region. Leave the Cutting Path area mode set to "Entire Surface". The "Step-Over Spacing" field specifies the distance, in data coordinates, between each traversal. For a radial path type, this field is for specifying the angle, in degrees, between each radial. Enter a "Step-Over Spacing" value of 0.25 . The "Maximum Path Depth" field specifies how deep into the existing material the tool can go on this pass. This is measured from the original uncut surface heights. VS3D will never drive the tool deeper into the current (calculated) machined surface than the tool's specified Max Cutting Depth "D" parameter. Enter 0.25 in the "Maximum Path Depth" field. Note that VS3D versions 1.4 and newer include additional tools for specifying the "climb" or "descend" direction of the tool path. Use the "CW / Climb" setting. Click on the "Make Cuts / Add To Protocol" button. If you are currently running a licensed version of VS3D then a form will appear for specifying details of the output file, including feed rates, spindle RPM, etc. The available settings will vary depending upon the "Machine Type" chosen for the protocol. Leave all of the default settings unchanged and click on "Ok". You will also be prompted to enter the name of the file to save if not running in DEMO mode. If you are running in unlicensed DEMO mode, all file output is disabled and no output file is saved, but the predicted results of the machining pass will still be displayed.

Breast Milk is the Best MilkNature designed human milk especially for human babies, and it has several advantages over any substitute ever developed. Your milk contains just the right balance of nutrients, and it contains them in a form most easily used by the human baby's immature body systems. Because it was developed for your human baby, your milk also is gentlest on your baby's systems. | |
Why breast milk is the best milk: | |
There are many reasons why breast milk is the best milk, including the following: | |
| |
The digestibility, bio-availability and suitability of your milk means that your baby's body is able to work less yet receive more nourishment. | |

Max Payne Release Date Confirmed
Rockstar games continues releasing it's revolutionary portfolio to Android.
We have known for a while that Rockstar have been planning to release their original Max Payne title to Android gamers. Ever since they released to the world an optimized version of the legendary Grand Theft Auto 3, they have promised to bring more of their titles to the smart phone gaming world. So next on the list is their third person shooter Max Payne, which first appeared on TV screens back in 2001 on the PC and later the Playstation 2.
So Rockstar have confirmed with us this week an official release date for this title via their website and it isn't that far away. This should be appearing on Google PLAY Store on April 26th, so before the month has even finished, we could be shooting up our bus jouney's, Max Payne style. It is sad to read that iOS users will be getting this title two weeks earlier than us on Android but frankly, we are all a bit used to it. The price is yet to be confirmed also but I am confident, like GTA3, this shoudl be less than £4 ($5 roughly). We are also yet to find out if it will be fully optimised for the Xperia PLAY controls but after the GTA3 release, again I would happily bet money on it being so.
Below is some screen shots to wet your appetite.
Rockstar games did such an incredible job on GTA3 for Android and despite us Xperia PLAY owners getting a few dodgy updates, unlike Gameloft they continued and sorted the problems. They even programmed the USB gamepad function for Tablet gamers, so we could enjoy it on all of our gadgets. Let's hope they continue this high quality work with Max Payne.

LOGgers rigs...
Hey there folks! Just thought I'd take the time to introduce myself. I've been returning to this informative site for many years now, and have decided to sign up, and dig through your forum posts to soak up the tone-sculpting wisdom which lies within. : ) Soooo, please allow me to start by posting mine, and my cowriters rigs: (hopefully, this isn't too far out of format.)
Guitars we share: 1977 Gibson Les Paul Custom w/Maple fretboard. (Stock) 1996 Gibson Les Paul 'The Paul II' (EMG H-neck, 60-bridge) 2006 Epiphone Les Paul Studio w/Floyd Rose Trem (Dimarzio Evolution-bridge) 2004 Ibanez SA Custom (Stock) 1997 Ibanez EX370 (stock) 2001 DeArmond s6-7 (7-string SG lookin' thing) 1985 Applause acoustic 6-string w/Dean Markley 'Woody' 199? Epiphone SG310 (stock) 197? Fender acoustic 6-string w/Dean Markley 'Woody' All electric guitars have DM Blue Steel 10's on 'em, and the acoustics have DM Phosphorous bronzesss. Rig 1: Line 6 Flextone IIIxl 150w combo.(FBV Shortboard) A Boss SD-1 at input. With a BBE 462 Sonic Maximizer, a DBX266xl Compressor, and a Boss rc-2 Loopstation in the FX-loop. For larger gigs , the Left direct out of the Flextone is run to a Soundtech 500w power amp(overkill) which drives an early-80's Ampeg V-4 cabinet, and the Right direct out goes out to a Crate 12" combo which is used for the drummer to monitor my guitar. Or, if recording, we use the direct-outs instead of micing.(Even with my 'good' mics, and a lot of patients, I can't beat the direst outs of the Line 6 stuff) Rig 2: A Crate-heads 150w power section was 'modified'(ie... sawed off 2" of the non-working end of it) to fit within the upper space of a Fender Ultimate Chorrus' combo, which had its guts removed. A Line 6 FloorPOD is used as the pre-section, run into the Crates power-section which drives the two 12" Fender speakers in the combo, AND(for larger gigs) a set of early-seventies 15"s in a Fender cabinet. We've been doing the music-thing together since '95, and assembled these rigs for our latest endeavor,(LOG) a hard-rock act. There's a live jam-song posted on our homepage if anyone wants a sound-sample of us... demo is still in the works. Oh yeah, and if someone wants to suggest a good overdrive pedal that we each could use in front of these digital-modeled pres, that'd be swell.(Been considering the Blackstar OD model, but haven't tried it yet.) ~Hue

Holy crap! That is one sweet rig man. I love the guitars and what you've done with the amps too. Plenty loud for sure!!! How do you use the loop station in a live band situation? I've played with the looper in my DD-20 and it's fun but I can't see an application where it would be useful in a live band situation - especially when, on the DD-20, you can save loops.

Hey, thanks RUSHFANnLV! The Loopstation is newly aquired, as a way to get the rhythms I play 'done the way I like' without taxing the other guy. I did notice that you don't want to stack too many phrases into it... it muddies things up pretty quickly, also that it's best to be selective with what you want to have it do for you, but as long as you don't abuse it, it will do 'live' just fine.
Loud? heh Yeah, these puppies go to 11... or so. ; ) Alas, we really don't use the loud-half of 'em all that often... sure do look cool, though! haha Especially Rig 2. I'll figure out how to post some pics one of these days. Thanks again, for the kind words! ~Hue

The looper is best used for intros, or verses that go- rhythm/verse-->solo--
>rhythm/verse--> solo. That way, I can loop the firstly-played piece, solo over it or support it while the the lyrics are getting sung. The best part about it, is that it sounds like 'me'. lol Man, that sounds so pompous, but really I mean that it's 'consistant'... the other guitarist/rig sounds similar in some aspects, but also very different in others. ~Hue

Review questions for this study guide can be found at:
Politics and Public Policymaking Review Questions for AP U.S. Government
The Policymaking Process
The policymaking process involves several steps:
- agenda setting—recognizing an issue as a problem that must be addressed as a part of the political agenda. Problems are often brought to the political agenda by citizens, interest groups, the media, or governmental entities.
- policy formulation—finding ways to solve the problem; exploring alternative plans of action and developing proposals to solve the problem.
- policy adoption—adopting a plan of action to solve the problem; may require the passage of legislation.
- policy implementation—executing the plan of action by the appropriate agency or agencies.
- policy evaluation—analysis of policy and its impact upon the problem; judging the effectiveness of the policy and making adjustments if necessary.
Domestic Policy
Domestic policy often refers to the social policies of the United States in the areas of crime prevention, education, energy, the environment, health care, and social welfare.
Crime Prevention
Although crime prevention has traditionally been a state and local matter, as crime and violence have increased the federal government has become more involved in crime prevention. Lyndon Johnson declared a "war on crime," creating a commission to study the causes of crime and suggest solutions. Today, more crimes are classified as federal crimes, with punishments often more harsh than those for state crimes. Since the shooting of President Ronald Reagan, debate has centered on gun control legislation. President Bill Clinton signed the Brady Bill, requiring a five-day waiting period and background checks before the purchase of a handgun. Clinton also won congressional support of a ban on the sale of some types of semiautomatic assault weapons and legislation authorizing new federal spending on crime initiatives, including the hiring of new police officers and building new prisons and "boot camps" for juvenile offenders. Clinton's crime bill also listed federal crimes punishable by the death penalty and the "three strikes laws," mandating certain sentences if convicted of a third felony. As the federal government has become more involved in crime prevention, federal agencies have played a larger role.
- The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) collects and reports evidence in matters relating to federal law or the crossing of state borders; provides investigative and lab services to local law enforcement agencies
- The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) prohibits the flow of illegal narcotics into the United States and patrols U.S. borders
- The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) administers laws dealing with explosives and firearms and regulates the production and distribution of alcohol and tobacco products
Although public education falls under the authority of the state governments, the federal government has played an increasing role in education. Since the 1950s (Brown v. Board of Education, 1954, and the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik) the major goal of education policy has been to ensure equal access to educational opportunities. Under Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, Congress passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 1965, providing federal funding to public school districts with low-income populations. In 1979 Congress created the Department of Education to coordinate education policy. Congress has also provided programs for higher education, including loans and grant programs for college students. Recent proposals in education have concerned the use of school vouchers that would allow parents to choose the schools their children attend at public expense, and the national testing of students.
In 2002, President George W. Bush signed a bill called No Child Left Behind. This act requires all states to administer proficiency tests in public schools in order to monitor student progress. Though the act has created some improvement in many of America's public schools, many provisions of the legislation remain controversial.
Energy policy has traditionally been one of conservation and the study of alternative and renewable sources of fuel. Newer energy policies have addressed issues such as global warming and toxic waste disposal. In 1980 a superfund was established for clean up of toxic waste sites, and current law provides for the tracking of hazardous chemicals and the disposal of toxic waste. Energy policy often involves highly technical issues about which the average citizen may have limited knowledge. Energy will be an important issue in the coming years.
The Environment
In the late eighteenth century, the federal government began setting aside public lands as national parks, monuments, and forests. Not until the 1950s, however, did Congress begin passing legislation aimed at protecting the environment and cleaning up polluted air and water. In the 1970s Congress created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to enforce environmental legislation. The Clean Air Acts of 1970 and 1990 were implemented to reduce air pollution. The Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 was designed to clean up the nation's lakes and rivers. Wilderness areas were established, the Endangered Species Act provided government protection of species listed as endangered, and environmental impacts statements required studies and reports of likely environmental impacts be filed with the Environmental Protection Agency. President Obama repeatedly promised in the 2008 campaign that this would be a key issue for his administration.
Health Care
Unlike Canada or Great Britain, the United States has no national health care system, yet the largest percentage of government spending goes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Medicare provides hospitalization insurance for the elderly, and Medicaid provides public assistance in health care for the poor. The government operates several programs aimed at promoting and protecting public health in the United States. The Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Veterans Administration (VA), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are among the agencies involved in promoting public health. Health care was a major campaign issue in the 1992 presidential election, when Bill Clinton campaigned on a plan to address both the high cost of health care and limited access. Clinton's proposals to reform health care in the United States died in Congress. Health care will be a critical issue for President Obama and his successors.
Social Welfare
Social welfare began during the New Deal era. The Great Depression led citizens to want more government help against economic downturns and poverty. The Social Security Act (1935) was a first step in this fight. Lyndon Johnson's Great Society continued the war on poverty by creating new programs (Medicare, school aid, job training) designed to prevent poverty. Housing programs and urban renewal have been implemented with the goal of providing adequate housing for all citizens. In the 1980s Ronald Reagan reduced benefits and removed people from eligibility in an effort to reform the social welfare system amid claims of increasing government. Bill Clinton continued to bring reform to the social welfare system by limiting how long a person could receive benefits and giving money to the states to run their own programs. In 1996, the entitlement program Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was replaced by a new program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Unlike AFDC, TANF is a block grant that limits recipients to no more than five years of assistance. TANF also requires recipients to work, receive vocational training, or participate in community service.

Mr. Oppenheim had only meant to let in a little fresh air. He was the usher and in charge of that sort of thing. He never imagined he would let it in, too.
Mrs. Ophelia Geoffrey almost trampled it. She reserved a pew far enough back that her sons and daughters-in-law could sneak in late without disturbing. They always whispered to her apologetically, "Overslept, Ma. We'll do better next week."
It crawled silently past her pew.
Fifteen minutes later, a crowd of people were settling in. Clutching his black Bible in his hand, the Pastor stepped up to the podium. Everyone wondered at his slight pause on the steps.
He had seen it.
The congregation rose. Somber voices mumbled words of praise. A couple men yawned in anticipation of their morning nap.
The pastor had a slight upturn to his lips.
Little ones filed to the front and gathered around the pastor's wife for the children's sermon.
Then, ten-year-old Billy Reeves saw it.
He pointed it out to nine-year-old James Forgers.
James' jaw dropped as he gasped loudly. Elizabeth Patrick noticed James' distress and peeked past him to see what could cause the normally fidgety boy to become as still as a statue.
She saw it.
And she screamed.
"Spider! Spiiiiidderrrrrr!"
All the children looked to Maria. They all looked down at it. Screams bounced off the rafters. Chaotic dancing around the scurrying spider ensued. Billy stood calmly and laughed.
If they had looked, the congregation would have seen that the Pastor's eyes were sparkling. But all eyes were trained on the children. Mothers and fathers stood and shouted in vain. Children were squealing so loudly that they couldn't hear.
The pastor's wife coaxed it aboard her handkerchief. Mr. Oppenheim opened the door for her and she deposited the traumatized spider outside.
The children stopped screaming and their parents stopped yelling. Even Billy Reeves quieted down.
But Pastor had tears pouring from his eyes and guffaws spewing from his mouth.
The congregation was silent. They glanced at Pastor's wife, but she was smiling at her husband. Discerning she wouldn't be much help, everyone turned to their neighbor and whispered.
Half the congregation decided that he ought to be admitted to the psychiatric hospital. The other half was discussing his being arrested for having planned the uproarious event (that constituted disturbing the peace, didn't it?) when he finally wiped his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Brothers and sisters, you have to admit that was funny."
They didn't.
He sighed. "I think God sent a miracle this morning. I've been praying for a long time that my sermons would cause that kind of a stir. Not exactly the way I would have done it, but God works in mysterious ways. This morning, none of you fell asleep and no one started whispering about where to go to lunch afterwards."
Several people glanced at each other with sheepish expressions. Everyone began to sit down, eyes riveted on the Pastor.
"Don't you know church isn't just an opportunity to see our friends or catch up on the latest gossip? Church isn't just an event we get dressed up for once a week."
Mrs. Geoffrey's children cocked their heads.
"It is so much more than that. We shouldn't come to church out of habit. We should come because we want to learn, because we want to sing praises to our God out of our love for Him, and because we want to fellowship with others. We should come because we want to."
The Pastor's wife gave him a reassuring nod.
"I have just one more thing to say."
Everyone leaned forward.
"If we don't have a spider come to church next week, will you come, anyway?"
Laughter rippled like an ocean wave all the way to the back pew.
"With the right attitude?"
Hope burgeoned in each heart. Smiles burst onto each face.
Mr. Oppenheim stepped to the front. "I will."
Mrs. Geoffrey clutched her trembling hands together and said, "Me, too."
Nods and yes's came from all the corners of the little church.
The pastor led one last hymn and prayed. On the way out, Mrs. Geoffrey's sons each whispered in her ear, "We'll be early, next week, Ma!"
She grinned at each of them, because she knew they would be.

An electronic device consisting of tiny, snake-like filaments and circuitry that can be applied to the throat, forehead or chest to monitor the body's electrical activities is redefining how scientists measure the functions of living systems.
A team of researchers led by John A. Rogers, Professor of Engineering at the University of Illinois, released their findings in an Aug. 11 report on the class of technology they call the epidermal electronic system (EES).
The findings were published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in the journal Science.
"Our thought was that if you could convert the electronics from the rigid, boxy form that it exists today, into a format that looks like the skin in terms of mechanical properties, shape, stretch ability, toughness, then you could almost make like a second skin that would laminate on the surface of the biological skin in a completely seamless, integrated fashion that would be essentially invisible to the user but able to deliver all of its new functionality through the skin," Rogers shared with Big 3 News.
The EES' key capability is monitoring the activity of the brain, heart and muscle tissue. A device is applied to the skin without the need for adhesives, straps or penetrating pins which is common with traditional device technologies.
The researchers believe the current monitoring systems, while possessing useful capabilities, are impractical outside of a clinical setting.
"Typically, small numbers of bulk electrodes are mounted on the skin via adhesive tapes, mechanical clamps or straps, or penetrating needles," the research team observed of the modern systems.
"We introduce a different approach, in which the electrodes, sensors, power supply, and communication components are configured together into ultrathin, low-modulus, lightweight, stretchable 'skin-like' membranes," similar to a child's temporary tattoo.
The devices are applied to the skin with a little bit of water and — because of their conformity and elasticity — can stay adhered to the skin for as long one to two weeks. However, the natural two-week shedding cycle of the human skin poses long-term challenges that still have to be solved.
The EES can have numerous medical, health and wellness, and fitness applications.
It can be applied as a throat-mounted device to help patients who suffer from diseases of the larynx, for example, or serve as a control system for interfaces between humans and machines.
During testing of the EES mounted on the throat, researchers were able to monitor muscle activity and identify capabilities for recognizing a vocabulary of words. The researchers applied algorithms to the data gathered during the throat testing, which enabled them to control a computer strategy game called Sokoban.
"The classifications occur in less than three 3 s on a dual-core personal computer running codes in MATLAB (MathWorks, Natick, MA)," the researchers observed, "with an accuracy of >90%."
A device on the forehead can monitor brain activity and assist with the treatment of sleep disorders. Applied to other parts of the body and the EES can be used to stimulate muscle contractions and other physical rehabilitative needs.
"Potential uses include physiological status monitoring, wound measurement/treatment, biological/chemical sensing, human-machine interfaces, covert communications, and others," the researchers described in their report.
During their study, the researchers observed that devices worn for up to 24 hours or more on the arm, neck, forehead, cheek, and chin, were biocompatible and "showed no degradation or irritation to the skin."
The researchers concluded that the EES offers "high-performance electronic functionality" with the surface of the skin which overcomes the limitations of conventional systems.

With special support from Saint Martin's Office of Intercultural Initiatives, Office of Campus Ministry and Benedictine Identity Task Force
RSVP today to reserve your seat!
Join the Saint Martin's community as it welcomes Eboo Patel, Ph.D., founder and president of the Interfaith Youth Core, as the distinguished speaker for the University's inaugural Benedictine Institute Lecture on October 3, 2013. Named by US News & World Report as one of America's Best Leaders of 2009, Dr. Patel has been a featured speaker at the TED Conference, the Clinton Global Initiative and the Nobel Peace Prize Forum, and has served as a member of President Obama's inaugural Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
Dr. Patel's two books, Acts of Faith and Sacred Ground, focus on faith as a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. In his work, he asserts that acts of service provide a common ground for all belief traditions, religions and non-religious.
Dr. Patel's beliefs resonate strongly with the Benedictine values that have defined Saint Martin's for more than a century. One of the core Benedictine values is hospitality, and as that value calls us to do, we enthusiastically welcome students, staff, faculty and community members of all faith traditions, backgrounds and belief systems. Other core Benedictine values include service, community, and respect for all persons - all of which align with Dr. Patel's call to commit to "common action for the common good."
Because of this close alignment with Saint Martin's Benedictine mission and identity, Dr. Patel will be the inaugural speaker for the Benedictine Institute Lecture Series, and new series at Saint Martin's that will explore issues related to faith and community.
Saint Martin's University is eager to engage the broader Puget Sound/Pacific Northwest community in the spirit of interfaith cooperation and dialogue!
Dr. Patel's lecture is open to the community and all are welcome. Seating for the lecture is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please reserve your seat by completing the online reservation form.

House introduces 20J supplement
By Laura Weber, MPRN
Lansing, MI – A new bill has been introduced in the state House that would restore the money recently cut from the state's 39 wealthiest school districts. That money was vetoed by Governor Granholm last week.
The Senate Appropriations Committee called for the House to overturn the governor's veto, but it would take a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate to override Granholm's veto.
Democratic State Representative Marc Corriveau sponsored the House bill. He says it's time to act, "Two-thousand, seven hundred signatures delivered to me today from people in my community asking me to protect education, which was a promise I made when I came up here. So I wasn't going to wait for a veto vote, my goal was to get a bill introduced and to do it right away."
Corriveau says he does not yet know where the money to restore the education funds would come from, but he thinks if the Republican-controlled Senate is willing to overturn the governor's veto, then the Senators should be ready to find revenue to fill the cut.

The Wait
"God can use the waiting time to mold us into the parents He needs us to be for the children He is sending our way."
~D. Gray
I'm tired of waiting.
In racing, they refer to it as hitting the wall.
I've hit the wall in this adoption wait before and bounced back.
I'm sure I'll do it again, but today I'm just tired of waiting.

The Tonys, like all awards shows, are about successful people dressing pretty to congratulate each other for being successful. Can't get past that.
But the Tonys, to me, always seem just a little less gross than the Oscars or the Grammys or the Xtreme Video Music Firewalking Awards or what have you.
I love this. Here is a headline today at The Wall Street Journal's online edition: "Days of Wild User Growth Appear Over at Facebook."
And over at The Next Web: "Facebook is eating the world, except for China and Russia."
And the best part is the two sites really are telling the same story.
The senior allied commander in Afghanistan says airstrikes to residential homes in Afghanistan will be used only in cases of "last resort to rescue soldiers," the AP reports.
The new rules, issed by Gen. John R. Allen and announced by alliance spokespeople, come in response to a NATO attack last week that Afghans said killed 18 civilians.

In his opening statement at the trial of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky this morning, the prosecutor accused Sandusky of "cultivating" young boys over many years for his alleged "serial predatory behavior," the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writes.

Summer is a season when people get hypersocial — with barbecues and neighborhood fairs, graduations and pool parties. In short, it's an especially trying time for those of us who'd rather stay indoors and read a book. My early summer reading list, therefore, takes the form of a loner's survival guide.
The advent of serious, thoughtful, artistically ambitious television has brought us many marvelous shows: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Good Wife. And the growth of comedies with strong points of view has allowed oddball projects like 30 Rock and Community to emerge and earn praise.
The United States is pulling a team of negotiators from Pakistan and they will be leaving without securing a deal to reopen an important military supply line into Afghanistan.
Reuters reports:
"'I believe that some of the team left over the weekend and the remainder of the team will leave shortly,' George Little, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters. 'This was a U.S. decision.'"

Joan Rivers doesn't hold anything back.
I'm Michel Martin, and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. These days, when people talk about the leading names in R&B and soul, a certain big-voiced British woman is often the first name to come to mind, but there's an American in the house whose name is being mentioned in the same sentence as some of the leading voices in soul. His name is Ryan Shaw.
