Nanoparticles constructed to carry a therapeutic payload are studded with proteins that act as keys for gaining entry to tumor cells.
Image: Jessica Weisman
In Brief
- A "systems" approach to medicine views the body as a complex network of molecular interactions that can be measured and modeled, revealing causes of disease such as cancer.
- Extremely miniaturized tools can inexpensively measure and manipulate molecules for systems medicine.
- Nanoscale therapies deliver precisely targeted treatments to tumors while avoiding healthy tissues.
Before going to the gym for a workout or after indulging in cake at the office party, people with diabetes can use a portable monitor to take a quick blood glucose measurement and adjust their food or insulin intake to prevent extreme dips or spikes in blood sugar. The inexpensive finger-prick testing devices that allow diabetics to check their glucose levels throughout the day may sound like small conveniences. That is unless you are diabetic and can remember back a decade or more, when having that disease came with far more fear and guessing and far less control over your own well-being.
The quality of life afforded to diabetics by technologies that easily and inexpensively extract information from the body offers a glimpse of what all medicine could be like: more predictive and preventive, more personalized to the individual's needs and enabling more participation in maintaining one's own health. In fact, we believe that medicine is already headed in that direction, largely because of new technologies that make it possible to acquire and analyze biological information quickly and cheaply.

Apple says Macs at its offices were hacked
Posted at: 02/20/2013 6:24 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
Apple says a small number of Mac computers at its offices were infected by malicious software, in an attack similar to the one Facebook acknowledged last week.
In both cases, computers were infected through software downloaded from a site for software developers. The attacks took advantage of flaws in the Java plug-in for Web browsers.
Neither company said that there was any evidence that the attackers gleaned any data from their attacks.
The Java vulnerability is well known, and Apple has taken measures to disable the plug-in on all Macs. It says it would release an update malware removal tool to remove infections.
In January, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommended disabling Java in Web browsers to avoid hacking attacks.

Has any piece of musical equipment proliferated more, or more rapidly, than the humble electric guitar effect unit? Though there is no official tally, suffice it to say that thousands of stomp boxes, effect devices and processors have been created for the electric guitar over the past 60 years (and that's not including rackmount effects). Conceivably, more than half of those devices are distortion, fuzz and overdrive effects.

I wasn't planning on 2012 (targeting 2013) but instead I was planning a track day somewhere to test things out (probably Philip Island). As now everyone is in the same boat I thought I'd see if Calder Park (Thunder Dome) might be an option for everyone http://www.calderpark.com.au/venue/thunderdome.aspx.
I was figuring that being an oval sloped track it "might" suit DLRA vehicles. We could even stick timing down the straight and have license runs (just a thought but I am not sure if it would suit).
Anyway, I filled out the query form a few weeks ago but have heard nothing back. They might be ignoring me as small fry - I don't want to bug people if there is no interest but happy to take this further if there is. Does any one have experience with such tracks?
1) Would Thunder Dome suit DLRA cars?
2) Would the oval track suit bikes?
I am figuring if the answers are yes and yes, then if the price was right there would be keen interest.

I've been living in Istanbul for about 4 years now and while my Turkish isn't wonderful, I can understand the vast majority of what is being said.
I tend to miss the small (important!) details, but I can follow the gist of the conversation.
So I can safely say that I've made vast improvements over those 4 years…….but I have to admit I haven't been trying very hard for most of that time.

Helping to lead the charge among the Tea Party and Patriot movement in America for substantive political reform, Operation Black Storm will fight to fundamentally reshape the makeup of the U.S. Congress.

RENTON - There isn't really a whole lot to say following a 58-0 victory.
There isn't really a key play or sequence to dissect. There aren't too many things that went wrong to analyze. When a team so thoroughly dominates an opponent as the Seattle Seahawks did to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the results speak for themselves.
"So many things went right, so many opportunities were there that we took advantage of, and it just worked out to be a really one-sided game for us," head coach Pete Carroll said.
Seattle emptied their bench and were playing almost all their reserves for most of the fourth quarter. Carroll pulled some key starters after the first possession of the second half.
"It was really a great opportunity for us to get a lot of guys playing time, to have everyone contribute, and give us a chance to coach guys that normally don't get to play as much," Carroll said. "We also got a good feel from everybody in the locker room, which was good."
Carroll said the team came out of the game pretty healthy with only S Chris Maragos suffering a minor hamstring strain. Maragos was out of uniform for the late stages of the game and said he would be all right.
LB Leroy Hill was active for yesterday's game against the Cardinals despite an ankle injury, but LB Malcolm Smith started and played the entire game in his place.
Carroll said after the game Hill could have played if needed but they wanted to give him another week if they could. Carroll spoke highly of the way Smith played for a second straight week.
"This is the best that I've seen Malcolm over the years, said Carroll, who coached Smith at USC as well. "This is the most confident that he has been and he's playing aggressively and chasing the ball really well. He's kind of got a nose for the football. Things happen when he's around it, and that has kind of always been the case so it's good to have him out there."
Carroll said it will still be a "wait and see" week to see if CB Marcus Trufant will be able to make it back from a serious hamstring strain that's forced him to miss the last two weeks. It's possible Trufant is placed on injured reserve this week. The coaches had a chance to see how CB Byron Maxwell and CB Jeremy Lane would play in expanded roles and they handled the opportunity well, albeit against a trainwreck of an offense in Arizona.
With the promotion of CB DeShawn Shead and the addition of CB Ron Parker from Carolina last week, Seattle has six cornerbacks on the active roster currently with CB Brandon Browner on the reserve/suspended list.
Trufant may miss more time as it is at corner and he may not be an upgrade over who Seattle is playing now.
The league has moved Seattle's next home game against the San Francisco 49ers in two weeks to Sunday night. It is the first game this season to be moved into primetime.
The San Diego Chargers had been scheduled to play the New York Jets on Sunday night. With both teams out of the playoff picture, NBC decided to flex the game out of the primetime slot. Both major networks can protect one game for their audience. CBS protected the Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers game, while FOX protected the New York Giants at Baltimore Raves. That left only three likely games to move into primetime.
St. Louis at Tampa Bay, Minnesota at Houston and San Francisco at Seattle were the three games that seemed likely to move. The game between the 49ers and Seahawks is the only one that is guaranteed to have playoff implications for both teams.

(AP) -- A Georgia-based restaurant firm says suspicious computer files have been found at some of its locations, prompting it to warn customers about the potential for fraud.
Zaxby's Franchising Inc. said in a statement that the suspicious files may have resulted in unauthorized access to credit and debit card information at more than 100 stores, including one off Highway 544 near Surfside Beach and one on Church Street in Conway.
Company officials say the issue involves malware files, which could have been used to export guest names and credit and debit card numbers. The company says it notified law enforcement of the potential criminal activity. Zaxby's says a forensic investigation hasn't determined whether credit or debit card data left the processing systems of any stores.

Author: Editor/Monday, May 27, 2013/Categories: Chartered Clubbing, The Rally, Get Involved
The Fifth Annual BMW MOA Leadership Summit - Wednesday, July 17, 2013
BMW MOA International Rally - Salem, Oregon
An event for the Leadership of the Chartered Clubs
The Chartered Club Leadership Summit is designed to offer clubs the support and encouragement to help them develop positive, creative and safety-oriented leadership and to promote the chartered club as a vital and integral component of the BMW MOA. Club officers and key volunteers will receive information to help them build a better charter club experience for all their membership.
So who can attend the Leadership Summit? The event is open to any chartered club officer or key volunteer and there is no limit on the number of people who can attend from a given club. The summit is a great opportunity for existing officers to expand their skills, for new officers to gain insight and ideas and to expose future leaders and key volunteers to information they can use to improve the clubbing experience. We leave it up to the individual clubs to determine who may attend. Preregistration is required. No "walk in" registrations accepted.
Past Summits have covered issues such as; volunteers, from how to recruit them to how to keep them; improving community awareness; best practices of successful clubs and group riding. This year we are organizing what looks to be the best Summit experience yet. As in past years, the Summit will conclude with an opportunity for attendees to meet members of the MOA Board of Directors and discuss issues relevant to chartered clubs.
The Summit takes place on Wednesday, July 17th, that's the day before the rally officially opens, on the rally grounds and will last approximately 8 hours.
Registration for the Leadership Summit begins on April 1, 2013. Attendance is by reservation only. Registration contact is Lea Alexander at MOA headquarters. You can reach Lea at email@example.com or call her at 636-394-7277.
Paul Mulhern, Chartered Club Liaison
PS – When registering please tell Lea what club you are from and any dietary restrictions you might have.

And that's about the progress that was made earnest promise it's simple that -- -- Worked hard and she played by the rules that -- community.
What -- -- -- box of opportunity.
So that she could not just succeed but that she could become great.
And what this race was about.
Is about the idea -- behind this campaign.
It makes sure that that promise will be real war generations to come.
The idea for instance.
In the most powerful most affluent country in the -- Health care shouldn't be something you get rich enough to afford it that it should be a human.
The idea.
-- -- -- up the idea that government can't help create.
Good jobs the idea that manufacturing.

Outsourcing our jobs but deciding to create jobs here in this country.
The idea back.
The idea that it is time to start investing in the people of this country.
It's time to bring our men and women home from Afghanistan.
The idea.

I have to tell you.
Maybe the most important thing that this is about tonight about the measure of friends.
I got a lot of friends in this room.
I want.
On a single out just a few I want to single out just a few first.
To individuals.
Didn't have to step up for me in this campaign as early as they did didn't have.

But they did.
And that's governor Dan Malloy and senator Richard element.
I want to single out more or more people.

I did a fantastic job.
And lastly it.
And lastly the three most important people in my life.
I gotta tell you one of things that I figured out in this race is that if you catch you kids can get about an extra point after the polls.
I've but I've also learns something -- -- that you can't go through this alone.
That if you adds a partner.
Was willing to share this burden which can be very happy.
When you choose to do something like this it lightens the load every day.
There's not -- a minute of an hour.

Is watching TV harmful?
How many hours every day do you spend watching television? Modern people are always looking at their TV sets. For example, the average family turns on the news every morning and watches shows before going to sleep. Also, the development of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) means that people can watch anywhere and at any time. This phenomenon appears to be detrimental. However, watching television produces more good than bad because it provides information, entertainment and useful programming.
Some people say that television is an idiot box because it prevents people from enjoying outdoor activities and distracts them from taking the time to enjoy contemplation. But, watching television is helpful in many ways. Its most important role is to share information with viewers and therefore help people to acquire useful knowledge. Recently, a lot of different technology has appeared, but most people get their news updates from watching television. And cultural programs such as documentaries enable viewers to easily gain professional knowledge. Its other role is to provide people with entertainment. Sometimes I can't be bothered to do anything and I watch television to pass the time. Also watching funny shows in my spare time helps me to relieve stress. Presently, many good programs assist the advancement of human society. For example, some programs like ``KBS Consumer Ombudsman'' or ``MBC PD notebook'' expose contradictions in our society and promote civic awareness. And children's programs help develop creativity. According to psychologist Dr. Tanya Byron, "Eight out of 10 parents believe that television has a positive effect on their child's development." Following this survey, she found that parents think children's programs help develop their children's imagination. The existence of television affects modern society. In spite of many people's concerns over this, the broadcasting industry has grows continuously attracting many viewers. This would not be possible if television had more negative aspects. Consequently, this shows that television has many advantages to human life. David Lee Hungi is a student at

Cuyamaca Rancho State Park Interpretive Association's mission is to support Cuyamaca Rancho and Palomar Mountain State Parks. As an IRS registered 501(c)3 charitable organization, CRSPIA uses your tax deductible donations to provide these parks with interpretive and educational materials that normal funding channels may not be able to supply.
A female tarantula hawk captures, stings, and paralyzes a tarantula, then drags the prey back to her nest. She lays a single egg on the spider's abdomen, and covers the entrance. When the wasp larva hatches, it enters the stunned tarantula. It feeds for as long as possible, keeping the spider alive by avoiding vital organs . The larva then develops into a pupa, and finally, becomes an adult, when it emerges from the spider's abdomen to continue the life cycle. Males do not hunt.
They seldom bother humans, but their sting is very painful if administered.

The Polar Express
Director : Robert Zemeckis
Screenplay : Robert Zemeckis & William Broyles, Jr. (based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg)
MPAA Rating : G
Year of Release : 2004
Stars : Tom Hanks (Hero Boy / Father / Conductor / Hobo / Santa Claus), Nona Gaye (Hero Girl), Peter Scolari (Lonely Boy), Eddie Deezen (Know-It-All), Leslie Zemeckis (Sister Sarah / Mother), Michael Jeter (Smokey / Steamer)
The Polar Express is a deeply confused Hollywood rendering of childhood innocence by way of computer-generated roller-coaster thrills. With Chris Van Allsburg's short, gorgeously illustrated children's book as its source, Robert Zemeckis' $165-million CGI extravaganza at first seems like it will be a quaint, if technologically savvy ode to painterly beauty, but soon turns into a series of blockbuster-style adrenaline rushes. The film's entire middle section is a cavalcade of white-knuckle child endangerment, as the mystical Polar Express nearly derails, crashes, or flies out of control on its way to the North Pole.
Riding aboard the train is a group of children who will get to see Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. The protagonist is a young boy (voiced by Spy Kid Daryl Sabara) who has lost his faith in "Mr. C"; his willful doubt is so intense that he maintains a personal file of "evidence" against the existence of Santa, including newspaper clippings of department store Santas on strike. There other children along for the ride include a young African American girl (Nona Gaye) with a sense of natural leadership and a lonely boy who is literally from the wrong side of the tracks (Peter Scolari). There is also a bespectacled know-it-all (Eddie Deezen) who is, I supposed, intended to be comic relief, but is so obnoxious and whose voice is so relentlessly grating (especially in how it doesn't sound like a child at all) that you keep hoping the filmmakers will forget he's aboard.
Director Robert Zemeckis has been touting The Polar Express as a major technological breakthrough in computer-generated imagery. The biggest development is so-called "performance capture," which involves actors (notably Tom Hanks, who plays five roles) performing while covered with computer-readable dots that translate their motions, right down to their facial twitches, into digitized imagery. In the 10 years since the release of Toy Story, feature-length computer-animated films have gotten better and better, but the one hurdle they haven't managed to leap is the replication of photorealistic humans. Zemeckis would have us believe that The Polar Express has not only cleared this hurdle, but sprinted quite a ways further down the track. It hasn't.
For every bit of painterly beauty Zemeckis and his technical crew have achieved in the environments in The Polar Express, the film is literally sunk by the uncanny creepiness of its computer-generated characters. Performance capture may give these simulacra a more realistic sense of movement than we've seen before, but they still look like wax figures come to life—all surface and no interior. Computers can recreate on-screen the finest textures of hair, fabric, and snow with amazing precision, but they are still unable to breathe life into human beings. Thus, Zemeckis' misguided ambition of proving that technology can replace humanness on-screen is the film's downfall, both visually and spiritually. If he had allowed real actors to appear among the computer-generated landscapes like Kerry Conran did in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, or if he had given the animated characters a bit of a cartoonish appearance, just enough to push them fully into the realm of the imaginary, it might have worked. Instead, his CGI recreations fall into a strange netherworld between the believable and the unbelievable, the real and the animated. They're neither here nor there, which is the source of their unsettling creepiness.
It is all the more unfortunate because the digital animators have done such a wondrous job of creating breath-catching widescreen vistas. The film's opening scene when the Polar Express arrives outside the young boy's house in a cloud of steam that slowly evaporates to reveal the shiny mechanistic wonder is a genuine marvel, and the film is also graced with a number of subtle touches that can probably only be appreciated with multiple viewings. Zemeckis, who has never met an impossible camera movement he didn't love, gives us swooping, vertiginous shots that almost make your head spin, particularly an amusingly drawn out scene where a crucial golden ticket blows out the window of the train and makes an incredible journey through the air, under the feet of a pack of wolves, down a waterfall, and even into an eagle's nest before miraculously finding its ways back to the train, all in one shot.
Zemeckis also gives The Polar Express some intriguingly bizarre flourishes, including Santa's elves who sound like New Jersey mobsters by way of a horror movie and whose ranks include an elvish version of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. The mechanics of Santa's North Pole cityscape evoke both old-world Europe and Metropolis-style science fiction, and Santa himself is a strange reinvention, serious, brightly glowing, and not nearly as portly as we're used to. It makes one wonder if Zemeckis and cowriter William Broyles, Jr. at some point realized the flimsiness of turning a 32-page picture book into a feature-length movie and found themselves striving to inject it with something more than high-speed thrills and pastoral nostalgia for a time gone by. The result is resolutely uneven, and if The Polar Express is remembered as anything, it will be as one those films that fumbled in reaching past what its technology could allow.
Addendum: Several weeks after writing and posting this initial review, I saw The Polar Express in 3-D at the IMAX. While it did not change my opinion of the film itself (in fact, a second viewing only accentuated the film's weaknesses), I felt compelled to add to this review that it makes for one of the most technically impressive 3-D experiences I've ever witnessed. The depth and realism of the image is quite amazing, and the film's relentless roller-coaster thrills play very well in the three-dimensional, big-format environment. At best, I can say that The Polar Express is not a very good film, but it's a fantastic theme-park ride.

Has anyone successfully used the BSL_Scripter and a Bootstrap Loader interface that uses the TEST, RESET, with TA0.0 & TA0.1 as the serial interface?
It works for me. But I did not test all the features and limitations as stated in the readme file.
I finally figured out that the batch of chips that I was using had the BSL disabled. I got some more samples from TI and all is well.
Thank you,
What what denotes a chip with the the BSL disabled?
I mentioned this in a similar thread, but I thought I'd repeat it here: FYI the chips with BSL disabled are the experimental "XMS" chips. If your top-side markings have XMS430... instead of MSP430 then your BSL is disabled! Order or sample a newer revision.
Thank You. That was my guess as I have both versions here in front of me. I just though I'd make sure.
Hi every one,I am new to BSL programming.I don't know how to write BSL code and Which is the software used to download BSL code to the MSP430F5438.Please help me.RegardsSunil
You need to do a search for these documents; SLAA096D and SLAA089D. These documents will tell you about the BSL interface. SLAA096D also has an associated zip file that has a BSL executable that runs on a Windows based PC and will program an MSP430 chip via the BSL interface as long as you have the associated circuitry described in the documents mentioned above.
My only warning is to not use the "X" chips or the MSP430F5xxxA chips use the regular MSP430F5xxx (NON "A") chips. The "X" chips have the BSL interface disabled and the timing on the "A" chips do not use the standard timing.
Good luck!
Dear Lane Mitcham ,
Thanks for your useful information,
i am using MSP430F5438 chip.
i am searching those documents which you have mentioned.. but i am not finding it.
if you have more information's please help me.
Thanks and Regards
I have attached SLAA089D.pdf.
Here is the SLAA096D.pdf.
Here is the zip file that goes along with SLAA096D
Here is another useful zip file. This is the easiest to use, IMHO.
Lane MitchamMy only warning is to not use the "X" chips or the MSP430F5xxxA chips use the regular MSP430F5xxx (NON "A") chips. The "X" chips have the BSL interface disabled and the timing on the "A" chips do not use the standard timing.

Maggie Pickard - Memorial Service June 2nd
Maggie Pickard - Memorial Service June 2nd
Maggie Pickard 1941-2013
Journal Entry 10 I was blindsided by Maggie's ravenous cancer. Maggie was trim and fit. She dragged me to daily 4.5 mile walks most days. She cooked simple, delicious, wholesome meals like cod & spinach and salmon & kale. She occasionally had a beer or a martini, but mostly she was happy with a few sips of my nightly ales. She had very few health issues over the years and she was easy going--not always an easy thing, considering she was snagged into the hyperactive vortex of Elwood's World. I am a worrier, I take a daily blood pressure pill plus one for a slight heart murmur and I have acid reflux. I carry around a spare tire--no surprise, since I drink at least two beers nightly and sit for hours on my ass at a drawing table or in front of my computer most days. But I am (for the moment, at least) alive and Maggie is not. It makes no sense. In late autumn, 2012, Maggie began having ever-increasing heartburn and gas pains. The docs figured it was acid reflux. Treatment didn't help much and her discomfort increased. Something was wrong with her intestinal tract, we knew that, but we were unprepared when we received news on February 6, 2013 that her ultra sound results showed a suspicious image in her liver. She had a CT scan the next day, two days before our 30th wedding anniversary. Five days later, we were sitting in the office of the highly respected oncologist, Dr. Yuman Fong at Memorial Sloan Kettering discussing three possible treatments for Maggie's Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. (1) palliative care (2) a somewhat more gentle form of chemo or (3) a much more aggressive version of chemo. Her biopsy revealed cancer cells scattered about her pancreas, which had invaded 50% of her liver. We were shocked but Maggie remained steady and calm, accepting the course of events that unfolded from that day until the morning she departed. I am devastated. Many years ago, I sat with a friend as she died while I held her hand. Later, I was with my mother when she died and still later on I sat at the bedside of another friend when he died. I had some closeup experience with death, but I was woefully unprepared for this shattering loss. For 32 years, Maggie was in my life nearly constantly. We worked in studios across the hall from each other for most of the day. We loved and walked and slept together. We attended concerts and movies together and we joined friends for dinner and played music and life was interesting and good. Sure, we bickered and griped like all couples do, but we held tight for 32 years. It has been five days since Maggie's death and the pain has not lessened. No surprise. I have been cast at sea by opportunistic cancer cells. My compass, my dear companion is gone--not for a short trip to Italy with friends while I stay home to tend to the cats, but for the rest of my days and I cannot take it in. I am living in two realities. I can laugh and eat and drink with friends and, during those spells, my life feels almost normal in its way. Without warning, I am drawn into the alternate reality of deep, profound, heart-wrenching loss. It is unlike any emotional pain I have ever known. Friends offer advice, not knowing that the hell to say to me. Who would? I burst into tears at the drop of a memory and it can be unnerving to those who want to help me mend. Please allow me to break down. I am wounded to the core, but I don't need grief therapy. Really I don't. I don't need to be told anything, I need only to be allowed to weep when I am overtaken with intense sadness and loss. Don't worry, I regularly switch gears and engage for a while in normal conversation and laughter. I know I'll mend down the line, but not tomorrow, not for a good long while. I'll get through this ordeal, but this feeling of loss is profound. It won't disappear altogether, but it will fade to haze. I need time. I need Maggie. I'll get one, not the other. O Tannebaum!
Glimpse of My Watercolor Process
Filmed for the Syracuse University Illustration program by illustrator and Syracuse professor James E. Ransome in Elwood's studio in Rhinebeck N.Y, award winning illustrator Elwood Smith discusses his process, use of brushes, paints and paper to create the beautiful flat washes in his humorous illustrations. Click Here for YouTube Link According to local Rhinebeck illustrator James Ransome, who shot this video, the reason for the soft focus quality of the video is due to "transferring it from PC to MAC mode", but I'm grateful that he documented a bit of my work process, however imperfect. So, thank you, James. Also, I intend to get some more info up here on Drawger about my latest Kolinsky watercolor brush findings. Soon. |

Is president Bob I actually like beaten by pastor in chief.
The White House is making it crystal clear that -- Obama could bypass congress and everything from the debt ceiling to gun control.
For starters Vice President Biden saying today the president may impose gun control with an executive order former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich joins -- there.
-- to do it if I if you got to simulate what -- the most amazing program tonight.
That I can remember it's quite fast and quite very that's a remarkable you don't miss any -- -- and that nobody wants to miss you either so tell me out of that presents a vice president says that said the present may use an executive order.
Forward to impose gun control problem -- your thoughts.
Well president and try to do almost anything he wants to.
Questions Leo -- the -- and the -- natural stands our first somebody will file a lawsuit.
Saying that it's illegal and unconstitutional.
The second house Republicans have an opportunity when the continuing resolution comes up -- -- march to simply zero out the authority.
To say no money shall be spent.
Now that's so clear under our constitution.
And goes all the way back to the magna Carter copy which sits in the capital don't.
I think that it would be.
-- a very interest in trying to -- the president clearly coming off this election is gonna push everything skimmed the edge.
He has no interest in negotiating -- to push the country as far as he -- Sooner or later the house Republicans have to decide.
They're gonna cheerfully draw lines in the sand in the constitution gives them the power the greatest power the congress has is the power of the purse.
And all they have to say is you have no money to do this.
With three coequal branch of government that's a given I'm curious -- -- can AA president used an executive order.
-- and went chance to visit us a lot of.
So don't -- exists for the mission to the -- the congress passes a law.
The president wants to execute that -- so he issues an order saying.
We're gonna do the following things woody can't do is write a new law so I think it let's take let's -- first example of -- gun control.
How is it -- if he issues an executive order where he has made.
And I.
The correct answer whether congress is to cut off the money.
And you say no money shall be -- to do this car.
I don't I don't know how he's going to bad timing of when it comes into play with gun control if he's going to try and cut up ATF you mean whatever fluids the president sitting on the White House can't actually -- anything.
He's -- order somebody.
To do something.
-- the congress does it says those people whatever whether -- Alcohol tobacco and firearms -- the FBI -- the Border Patrol says.
No money can be spent to implement this class -- high level who -- but -- -- -- now is engaged in a really ugly battle have a very good battle.
Credit and is gonna say that the Republicans are against law enforcement they don't want the streets -- on the borders protected because of just cut off the -- before the border.
In the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Richard Nixon.
Nixon who did several things -- get in deep trouble would never have dreamed.
Of the level low power grab that Obama is at least according to Biden in -- no this is trying to do.
The -- of National Labor Relations Board which is now decided.
-- an obscure 1935.
Rules the day will be involved in nonunion companies.
Because they've decided to re interpret what that -- A paragraph -- in my mind is when you would do something you simply don't have the lawful authority to do he doesn't the president doesn't -- said that if there's no law that he would be executing by virtue of an executive order with gun control on -- he's got to look to congress to do and if that would be and unlawful exercise that they have power grab.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The congress -- soft money does congress have these sort of where -- thought into used to do they have the drive to do that.
-- they don't know he had a -- my about a I would.
-- -- The number one test the house Republicans are faced with as they go off to -- -- -- planning -- this week and next week -- simple.
The real power the congress is to not spend money.
Are they prepared starting with the continuing resolution.
And -- with the sequestered and they prepared to say the president we're not gonna spend the money.
Several looking at -- -- the horizon at this if congress.
And the speaker of the house I'm DNA DC -- the united enough to do something like that.
So I think if they talk it through that could be a united TI right I think and in fact they're much more unified than people police.
And that this would actually be a fairly easy fight for using those to heart of the Republican coalition.
Which is a smaller government less spending more balanced budget coalition.
I'm gonna talk about the -- son because there's some discussion about found the present.
The white justices suggested they don't have to go to congress raise the -- so that they can instead rely on the fourteen members of the content of the competition and a little research going back to when this hold that service to start basically in 1970.
And what it was it was to -- -- some more at peace to the White House.
To -- too mature to borrow money it was not to give the White House -- point -- -- credit card.
And so now though -- the president says doesn't matter of about this 1970 law I was gonna do it because accounts agent says I cannot -- You made him try to do that I think -- be a disaster of a number of fronts.
President Obama's.
Is when the congress is saying no.
And -- involved -- some kind of a fight and he's saying let's do the right thing.
For the president -- to step him and create a proposal.
That goes back a 150 years.
And to say assuming no president has ever said that the president -- states can unilaterally create -- I think would be taking a pretty big burden and would isolate him pretty rapidly and and people around the world would say wait a second.
What are five by Obama bottoms.
And then it turns out they're -- I think he would be entering into the marketplace.
A level of uncertainty -- to be pretty remarkable.
You do things it does serve to Saber rattling and that he has no intention since joining unilaterally relying on the -- -- do you think that he believes he has authority and he's going to do -- now I look I think this is.
A very Smart team -- -- -- of the people who has grudgingly decided that Obama and his team actually know what they're doing pretty well.
They want to fight over the debt ceiling because it is a dead loser for Republicans.
I think -- -- the -- good faith and credit United States are you gonna early on you're dead -- you really only the first people -- to default.
What they don't -- fight over -- the continuing resolution and the sequester -- that spending and they don't wanna get into a spending fight.
Because they know that every survey shows that three out of four Americans believe you can cut government spending.
And the country does not believe this government is proficient and they don't believe it's as small as it could be so the president will do everything he can.
To keep this fight in the debt ceiling because that's his best fight and they are terrified of getting mired -- -- congressional Republicans said.
We're gonna pass a thirty day continuing resolution march.
And in that thirty -- resolution we're gonna kill the ten.
Offices of the federal government and you voters can go to our new website and you can vote for you think -- -- very.
And -- -- come back thirty days later at the end of April.
Don't pass a thirty day can resolution -- until the next ten dumbest offices and you get to define what they are.
You would have I mean how does -- president go on TV and defend have a three trillion so nobody nobody how does he defended ten numbness stuff so you know.
How -- the ten number stuffs probably back to -- mention -- live -- work here are it.
I -- read that damn mean they you've certainly thought the defense of marriage act they have different died as a reflects on the Republican Party that -- ahead -- explain to me if you change well I'm I'm very concerned.
-- I believe as a matter of love safe.
That marriage is between a man and woman I think everything's dead and that we know of in terms the Bible on terms of the teaching of the church says marriage between a man -- I also believe is a matter of fact.
The nine states have now adopted a law which is different -- that.
And that poses very real and complex human circumstances.
And I think -- game.
The practical reality is how are we going to deal with that fact.
And its not that I wanna change my belief I think that in fact it's a big mistake.
Due to be confused about this issue.
But I think it's also a legal reality.
That now people are being allowed two to create legal says status over here if they created in -- and they go on a trip.
And something happens to them on that trip what happened -- know -- what's the status of the -- -- -- the local hospital.
And so I think this is a it -- this is a very complicated.
Human problem and Republicans need to take a deep breath and understand and we -- deal with the human side of this equation.
And I understand that we wanted to defend marriage and and is classic form.
Demand won't I don't accept that does not turn them you know the government can declare that a Ford truck -- Air Force One that doesn't mean you can fly.
This is being that if this were before you -- today to vote to.
I knew that the defense of marriage act that you would not vote in favor of that haven't you know looked at where they did what -- evolution of where the country has gone.
And the feeling of so many Americans and the number of states that would -- would that change -- a little -- my -- Is a -- who's a very specific bill that says because one state Mallon to take an example happens to vote.
That that marriage extends beyond -- -- one.
Does it mean that can be imposed an estate I would still defend the right of any individual states so you may not that it opposite -- -- that's what I'm saying it but I'm saying as a matter of practical reality.
We have to deal we conservatives.
Have to deal with the objective fact.
The nine states have adopted a rule which is now gonna make -- more complicated.
You know there's not enough to do -- -- again I'm I'm not -- but in my personal views.
In my beliefs I don't I don't back up an inch from the core belief of the viable in the core belief of my church that marriage between a man woman.
But I am trying to understand how are we going to cope with the complexity.
That this fact has now entered into our life.
Has the Republican Party and then tone deaf are unwilling to face that human aspect.
So I think the Republican Party officials are very confident institution has a lot of different people and it.
Some of -- in fact we're much much more prepared do.
To accept that than others.
But I think I think their ballots we're gonna remain the Conservative Party will remain a party that believes in core traditional values -- removed remain a party.
Which which defends religious liberty.
And we are men and we've got to learn to do it much much better and I watched us.
Yet outmaneuvered by the left over and over for the last couple of years in ways that I found frustrating and infuriating.
And I don't think and I think we have to learn from this is -- I just assists and thank you.

Property Taxes Stay Steady in Montgomeryville
Montgomery Township officials have approved a preliminary budget for next year that does not raise property taxes. The spending plan also continues the Homestead Exemption that allows more than 75% of the residential property owners in the township to shield $30,000 of the assessed value of their home from taxation. Most of those that work in the township will be paying a higher levy on their wages though. The preliminary budget replaces the annual $10 Occupational Privledge Tax with the $52 per year Local Services Tax.
