PREPARED STATEMENT OF IDENTITY THEFT Before a field hearing of the of the COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY Los Angeles, California Senator Feinstein, I am Jeffrey Klurfeld, Director of the Western Regional Office of the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "Commission").(1) I appreciate the opportunity to present the Commission's views on the important issue of identity theft and describe to you the Commission's efforts to help victims, alert industry, and equip law enforcement to deal with this harrowing crime. In my remarks today, I will discuss the growing phenomenon of identity theft, the measures the Commission has taken to meet the goals of the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act ("the Identity Theft Act"),(2) and what we see as the major challenges for the coming year in combating identity theft. The fear of identity theft has gripped the public as few consumer issues have. This is in part because it seems to be widespread and in part because the consequences can be devastating. Consumers feel particularly vulnerable knowing that no matter how careful they are, they may nonetheless become identity theft victims.(3) The Identity Theft Act addressed these concerns in several concrete ways. It directed the Commission to establish the federal government's central repository for identity theft complaints, and to provide victim assistance and consumer education. As the Commission staff have strived to meet the responsibilities of the Identity Theft Act, we have learned much about the crime, its victims and its perpetrators. I. Meeting the Goals of the Identity Theft Act In earlier testimony before this Committee, the Commission described the ways in which we have carried out our responsibilities under the 1998 Identity Theft Act.(4) We have continued to build on these achievements. A. Centralized Complaint Handling - 877 ID THEFT The Commission established its toll-free telephone number, 1-877-ID THEFT (438-4338) to help consumers avoid or resolve identity theft problems. In addition to advising consumers, counselors enter consumer complaint information into the centralized Identity Theft Data Clearinghouse used to aid law enforcement and prevent identity theft. The Identity Theft hotline has been in operation since November 1, 1999. Calls answered have more than tripled in the last six months.(5) About two thirds of the calls are from victims, with the remaining calls coming from consumers who are looking for information on ways to minimize their risk of identity fraud. The telephone counselors provide victims of identity theft with specific information about how to try to prevent additional harm to their finances and credit histories. Callers are advised to contact each of the three national consumer reporting agencies to obtain copies of their credit reports and request that a fraud alert be placed on their credit reports.(6) Fraud alerts request that the consumer be contacted when new credit is applied for in that consumer's name.(7) The phone counselors also explain how to review carefully the information on credit reports to detect any additional evidence of identity theft. The counselors also inform callers of their rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act,(8) and provide them with the procedures for correcting their credit reports. The counselors advise consumers to contact each of the creditors or service providers where the identity thief has established or accessed an account, and to follow up in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested. Consumers are also advised on how to take advantage of their rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act,(9) and the Truth in Lending Act,(10) which, among other things, limits their responsibility for unauthorized charges to fifty dollars in most instances. Consumers who have been contacted by a debt collector concerning debts incurred by the identity thief are advised of their rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act,(11) which limits debt collectors' practices in the collection of debts. In addition, the FTC phone counselors advise consumers to notify their local police departments, both because local law enforcement may be in the best position to catch and bring the perpetrator to justice and because a police report is among the best means of demonstrating to would-be creditors and debt collectors that a consumer is a genuine victim of identity theft. More than half the states have enacted their own identity theft laws, and our counselors, in appropriate circumstances, will refer consumers to other state and local authorities for potential criminal investigation or prosecution. B. Outreach and Consumer Education The FTC also reaches consumers through the Internet. The FTC's identity theft website - www.consumer.gov/idtheft -- gives tips on how consumers can guard against identity theft, warns consumers about the latest identity theft schemes and trends, and provides access to consumer education materials on identity theft. This website has received more than 139,000 hits from November, 1999 through July, 2000. The site also links to a secure complaint form on which identity theft victims can enter the details of their complaints online, allowing consumers to contact the Commission at all times. After review by FTC staff, these complaints are entered into the Clearinghouse. To date we have received more than 1900 complaints through this electronic form. Further, the Federal Trade Commission has distributed nearly 100,000 copies of the comprehensive consumer guide: ID Theft: When Bad Things Happen to Your Good Name. Developed in consultation with more than a dozen federal agencies,(12) this booklet provides consumers with practical tips on how best to protect their personal information from identity thieves, summarizes the various federal statutes that protect consumer victims of identity theft, and details the victim assistance mechanisms available. (13) C. Identity Theft Clearinghouse - Launched Online The Identity Theft Act authorized the Commission to establish a central repository of consumer complaints about identity theft, and to refer appropriate cases to law enforcement for prosecution. The Identity Theft Complaint Database, which was activated in November 1999, provides law enforcement with specific investigative material and also allows our public and private sector partners to examine larger, trend-based information to determine ways to reduce the incidence of identity theft. Currently, the Clearinghouse contains data from consumers who contact the FTC through the toll free number or website. We are pursuing ways to collect complaint data from other agencies and private sector entities to allow Clearinghouse users to see as much identity theft complaint data as possible.(14) With a database as rich as the Clearinghouse should become, Commission staff can and do refer cases for potential prosecution. To maximize use of the data, the Commission now provides law enforcement partners with direct access to the Clearinghouse through Consumer Sentinel, a secure website for sharing complaints and other information with consumer protection law enforcers. Starting this month, law enforcement and appropriate regulatory offices can access the Clearinghouse through their desktop computers. This access will enable them to readily and easily spot identity theft problems in their own backyards and to coordinate with other law enforcement officers when the database reveals common schemes or perpetrators. The FTC staff will continue to comb through the data to spot cases for referral, but has also enabled others to use the data to ferret out the bad actors for prosecution. The Identity Theft Act also authorized the Commission to share complaint data with "appropriate entities,"(15) including the three national consumer reporting agencies and others in the financial services industry. The Commission does not envision providing access to the complete database for these private sector entities because unfettered access could interfere with law enforcement efforts. FTC data analysts can, however, identify patterns that reveal a business or business practice that exposes consumers to a high risk of identity theft. Commission staff will forward appropriate information about these complaints to the entities involved so they can evaluate and revise those practices. Similarly, staff plans to share complaint data with a business if data reveal that business fails to respond to legitimate consumer complaints about identity theft or frustrates consumers' efforts to correct misinformation on their credit reports. II. What the Clearinghouse Tells Us We are already seeing the fruits of collecting and analyzing identity theft complaints in a single repository. The basic complaint data show that the most common forms of identity theft reported by California consumers during the first nine months(16) of operation were:(17)
Not surprisingly, the states with the largest populations account for the largest numbers of complainants and suspects. California, New York, and Florida, in descending order, represent the states with the highest number of complainants. About 60% of California victims calling the identity theft hotline report their age. Of these, approximately 41% fall between 30 and 44 years of age. Approximately 24% are between age 45 and 64, and 25% are between age 19 and 29. About 7% of those reporting their ages are 65 and over; and slightly over 2% are age 18 and under. The data also reveal information about the perpetrators. Almost 60% of the caller-complainants provided some identifying information about the identity thief, such as a name, address, or phone number. Los Angeles was the most common location for suspects reported by California consumers; it was reported more than three times more often than Oakland, the next most common location. Commission staff also are assessing the data on the monetary impact of identity theft. Some complainants provided estimates of the dollar amounts obtained by the thief, because they have received the resulting bills or been notified of the resulting bad debts. The range of dollar amounts reported by California consumers varies widely, with approximately 30% of complainants reporting theft of under $1,000; approximately 31% of complainants reporting theft totaling between $1,000 and $5,000; approximately 12% of complainants reporting theft totaling between $5,000 and $10,000; and approximately 16% of complainants reporting theft of over $10,000. California consumers reported a total monetary loss of nearly $18 million. Consumers also report the harm to their reputation or daily life. The most common non-monetary harm reported by consumers is damage to their credit report through derogatory, inaccurate information. Forty-nine percent of California consumers reported that they were harmed in this manner. This negative credit information leads to the other problems most commonly reported by victims, including loan denials, bounced checks, and rejection of credit cards. Identity theft victims also report repeated contacts by debt collectors for the bad debt incurred by the identity thief. Many consumers report that they have to spend significant amounts of time resolving these problems. Consumers also report problems with the institutions that provided the credit, goods, or services to the identity thief in the consumer's name. These institutions often attempt to collect the bad debt from the victim, or report the bad debt to a consumer reporting agency, even after the victim believes that he or she has shown that the debt is fraudulent. Consumers further complain that these institutions' inadequate or lax security procedures failed to prevent the identity theft in the first place; that customer service or fraud departments were not responsive; or that the companies refused to close or correct the unauthorized accounts after notification by the consumer. III. Next Steps A. The Identity Theft Prevention Act of 2000, S. 2328 The Commission has made great strides in assisting consumers and law enforcement to combat identity theft, but recognizes that much remains to be done. Earlier this year, the Identity Theft Prevention Act of 2000, S. 2328, was introduced in the Senate. This Act would effectively address many areas of identity theft vulnerability and would protect many consumers from becoming victims of this very serious crime. Under S. 2328, consumers will have access to information that may reveal indicia of identity theft or the source of erroneous information resulting from identity theft. These measures will enable consumers to better protect themselves against identity theft and avoid some of the frustrations that often accompany their efforts to undo the harm inflicted by the identity thief. Providing for free annual credit reports and requiring that credit card issuers advise consumers of requests for changes of address to credit accounts will help consumers help themselves. Further, requiring clear and conspicuous fraud alerts on credit reports will help to thwart the ability of identity thieves to commit ongoing fraud. The Commission is confident that these proposals will assist consumers who contact the Commission's Identity Theft Data Clearinghouse to describe the problems they encounter attempting to prevent and remedy identity theft. B. Victim Assistance Workshop The Commission will soon begin sharing certain limited information from its Identity Theft Clearinghouse with banks, creditors and other businesses whose practices are frequently associated with identity theft complaints. The goal is to encourage and enable industry and individual companies to develop better fraud prevention practices and consumer assistance techniques. To that end, the Commission will convene a workshop for industry, consumer groups, the public, and law enforcement on Identity Theft victim assistance, prevention, and prosecution on October 23-24, 2000. This workshop follows the National Summit on Identity Theft of March, 2000, which initiated a dialogue between the public and private sectors on identity theft. The Social Security Administration, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Secret Service will convene later workshops on identity theft prevention and prosecution. IV. Conclusion The Identity Theft Clearinghouse, the toll free hotline phone counselors, and the consumer education campaign have helped the FTC begin to address the serious problems associated with identity theft. While more work remains to be done, the Commission is optimistic that heightened awareness by consumers and businesses will help reduce the occurrences of this fraud. The FTC looks forward to working with the Subcommittee to find additional ways to prevent this crime and to assist its victims. Endnotes: 1. The views expressed in this statement represent the views of the Commission. My oral presentation and responses to questions are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of the Commission or any Commissioner. 2. Pub. L. No. 105-318, 112 Stat. 3007 (1998) (codified at 18 U.S.C. § 1028). 3. Data from the Identity Theft Clearinghouse, our central repository of identity theft complaints, bear out these fears. See discussion at pp. 7-10. 4. The Commission testified before this subcommittee on March 7, 2000. We also testified before this subcommittee in May 1998 in support of the Act. Following the passage of the Act, the Commission testified again, in April 1999, before the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications, Trade and Consumer Protection and the Subcommittee on Finance and Hazardous Materials of the Commerce Committee. That testimony focused on identity theft in the financial services industry. 5. The hotline received an average of more than 1000 calls per week in the month of July. 6. The three national consumer reporting agencies are Equifax Credit Information Services, Inc., Experian Information Solutions, Inc., and Trans Union, LLC. 7. In addition to fraudulently acquiring accounts or loans, the identity thieves also may register a change of address in the victim's name, routing bills and other correspondence to a different address. In that way, it may take months for the victim to realize that their identity has been hijacked. 8. 15 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq. 9. 15 U.S.C. § 1666. The Fair Credit Billing Act generally applies to "open end" credit accounts, such as credit cards, revolving charge accounts, and overdraft checking accounts. It does not cover installment contracts, such as loans or extensions of credit that are repaid on a fixed schedule. 10. 15 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq. 11. 15 U.S.C. §§1692 et seq. 12. These include: Department of Justice; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Federal Communications Commission; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Federal Reserve Board; Internal Revenue Service; National Credit Union Administration; Office of the Comptroller of the Currency; Office of Thrift Supervision; Social Security Administration; United States Postal Inspection Service; United States Secret Service; United States Securities and Exchange Commission; and United States Trustee. 13. The Federal Trade Commission expects to receive a second, and larger, printing of the booklet shortly. The Social Security Administration and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have also printed and distributed When Bad Things Happen. The FTC has provided the booklet on zip disk to other agencies who are interested in printing additional copies. 14. Our Consumer Sentinel database, which houses consumer fraud complaints, receives complaint data from Better Business Bureaus, consumer outreach organizations and others. The Commission is looking to replicate this approach with identity theft complaints. 15. The Identity Theft Assumption and Deterrence Act provides, in pertinent part, "the Federal Trade Commission shall establish procedures to . . . refer [identity theft] complaints . . . to appropriate entities, which may include referral to . . . the 3 major national consumer reporting agencies." 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1028 (note). 16. The data analysis covers the period from November 1, 1999 through July 31, 2000. 17. Many consumers experience more than one type of identity theft. Therefore, the percentages represent the number of consumers who reported each type of identity theft. 18. These statistics reflect complaints made by California consumers. However, nationwide statistics are similar: 54% Credit Card Fraud; 26% Communications Services; 17% Bank Fraud; 11% Fraudulent Loans; and 8% Government Documents or Benefits. |

I Know Noses
In the past few months I have photographed a number of women who have all told me the same thing; they hate their nose because it is too big. This isn't new, I have been hearing it from women (never men) most of my art and photography career, which goes back over 35 years. In not one of those situations did I look at their nose and think that. Instead I thought their nose was just right for their face in balance, shape and size. In other words, I loved their nose and thought it added to, not detracted from, their beauty.
The French Knows Noses
If there is any place on earth that has refined taste, it's France. This quote is a French proverb. It's from the country of high sophistication and beautiful art, architecture, women, men, fashion, food and more. If France can make a national statement about the beauty of the nose, then who are we to disagree, right?
That's it. That is all I wanted to say. All you women out there who think your nose is too big, I think your nose is beautiful.
Drawing and commentary by Marty Coleman, who knows.
Quote is a French Proverb
If you ever do get put down for your nose, memorize this monologue from Roxanne.
Trivia question of the day
What animal has the most olfactory (smell) receptors?

Speed/range isn't everythingPros: Performance for the price, setup is simple if you fit the "standard" model - but my home network apparently doesn't Cons: Bought two of these to try to upgrade the Wi-Fi experience in my home. I'm returning for the following reasons... Did you find this review helpful? |
Big pig from TrendnetPros: Powerfull chipset. Cons: Drops internet connection in 20 sec. Does not working with russian l2tp. Bad and funny russian translation. Very weak firmware part, slow GUI. Other Thoughts: Did not expect this from Trendnet. Paperweight with blinking leds. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: I needed to upgrade my 4 year old Trendnet TEW-633GR that was intermittently dropping the connection, so picked this up for a reasonable price. Familiar interface and superfast paired with a Motorola SB6141. My homemade NAS connects instantly now, making me think maybe the old router had some other issues. Perhaps the ASUS has a better GUI, (I don't know, but that's what the reviews say), but this GUI is not too bad once you learn how to move around in it. Cons: None so far. Hopefully this one will be trouble free for 4 years like my previous Trendnet router. Other Thoughts: Received this 2 days after I ordered it, even though I didn't pay the extra two dollars for 2-day shipping. However, the same day, Newegg DRASTICALLY marked this down (pre-Black Friday sale) so I felt a little ripped. I contacted the 'Egg, and as usual, they made things right. Another reason why I continue to do all my tech shopping at the 'Egg;they take care of customers. And no, I wasn't paid to say that, although if they wanted to, I wouldn't complain. Did you find this review helpful? |
Issues one after anotherPros: None that I can see at this point. Ifyou want frustration thisis the unit to buy. Cons: This router drops internet connection often, does not allow one ipad to connect. States wrong password for the one that won't connect but all other ipads and wireless devices connect to it fine. Set up is far more difficult then the book states. So many things that have no explanation as to what to click or not Other Thoughts: I have until next week to return. I may try your technical support, but my old Linksys Woreless G seems to have no issues on ay of my wireless devices like thisis having and the Linksys does not drop connection from internet Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Didn't work for me.Pros: Fast when it works. Cons: Kept disconnecting from internet enough though the computer said it still had an excellent connection. Customer service at Trendnet was helpful but useless. Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Update - 6 monthsPros: I wrote an update about 6 months ago after having used this router for a few weeks. I had basically no problems to report then, and I am glad to say that this is still the case. Cons: As far as daily use is concerned, there really aren't any. It just works! Other Thoughts: My cable provider (Buckeye Cable System in NW Ohio) suggested that their equipment, made by Arris, does not work well with D-Link. I didn't think much of it, until I was power cycling my D-Link router every 2 days. I think that is part of the reason I am so happy with this router; because I haven't had a single issue with it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Installation is awefulPros: Very strong signal throughout a large 2 story home Cons: I called tech support 3 times plus got disconnected the 4th time. Installation was nothing less than a nightmare. I could connect one port but when I added the other 3 I lost all connection ability. We changed the mac address, entered I.P.'s all to no avail. Received a call from a manager the next day and told me to return the router. They did a great job trying. Just no results Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Mediocre at BestPros: Works well with defaults. Cons: DNS relay quits working after a little while, had to setup another DHCP server to assign my ISP's DNS addresses directly (same that router was using). Not sure why it just up and stop working after a while. Other Thoughts: The router setup interface is sluggish and every page you visit, you have to hit apply and WAIT for the router to save settngs and start responding again. Would be nice to have something persist until you are ready to apply all your changes. Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
812druPros: Fast and easy to use Cons: Weak signal. Nexus 4 cant get good signal but nokia 920 had a better signal. 3 bars out of 4 on nexus 4 and am only 2 feet away Other Thoughts: Weak signal. Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
WorksPros: Works Cons: Had a huge problem setting this up. Spent a really long time trying to get it to connect to my modem, but couldnt get to the webpage to connect to it. Turned out that it doesnt work with windows 8 for setup and i needed to borrow the girlfriends laptop to setup our router. Other Thoughts: Customer service was fairly helpful. They came up with some good ideas after going through their usualy "turn off power and turn it back on" nonsense. Did you find this review helpful? |

You add just the right level of sweetness and make the sure the mixture is of the right consistency, yet sometimes when you bake it, it just doesn't come out of the oven the way you wanted it to. Well this film is similar to the cake; it has all the right ingredients, a clever storyline, a star-studded cast and a great director, yet it doesn't live up to all the excited expectations.
Director Brett Ratner, of Rush Hour fame, is no stranger to comedy, and with an all-star line-up led by Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy you'd think the film would have a recipe for comedic perfection. Surprisingly, Eddie Murphy is the film's only saving grace. Let's face it, Murphy has in recent times drifted far away from his heyday, after sucking the humour of The Nutty Professor and Dr Doolittle completely dry with their endless sequels, it is nice to finally see Murphy trying something fresh. Tower Heist sees Murphy's return to form, as his character Slide packs most of the (few available) punch lines.
Albeit dry on the comedy, Tower Heist does have a unique storyline. Based in a luxury condominium building which houses millionaire clients, the building's workers become swindled out of their retirement funds after being persuaded to invest their money with resident rogue millionaire Arthur Shaw (Alan Aida). Failing to reach help from the law, in an attempt to get their due back, the manager Josh Kovacs (Ben Stilller) bails out the street criminal Slide (Murphy), and enlists many of the Tower's workers including the front-of-house secretary Charlie (Casey Affleck), the recently bankrupt and evicted resident Mr. Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick) and the feisty safe cracking maid (Gabourey Sidibe), to steal from Arthur Shaw's penthouse.
The plotline is incredibly well thought-out, and there are instances during the heist, which are quite witty and manage to generate laughs, but there just aren't enough of them. Part of the problem is that there is just too much going on, there isn't space for laughs because so much needs to be explained. Everything feels rushed and disjointed, it is a cake that has been taken out of the oven too soon, that hasn't been allowed to cook, and it is a real shame. Tower Heist has all the right ingredients, but doesn't manage to rise high enough, and overall you can't help but be disappointed.

Commercial Rated to 1000 lbs
The PowerBlock Serious Lifting Bench definitely lives up to its name. At 100 lbs of steel framing and closed cell molded pads, you will not be disappointed with this rock solid adjustable bench. This heavy duty USA-made bench press is commercial rated and designed to go in the toughest workout settings where a residential grade bench is not designed or rated to hold up. With a weight capacity of 1000 lbs, grab your heaviest PowerBlocks and let the serious lifting begin!
"The Serious Lifting Story" A little over 30 years ago in the state of California there was a body builder who was very serious about working out and the equipment used to do so. He set out to build serious workout equipment built from the user's perspective. He called his company Serious Lifting Systems. He went on to design exercise equipment for other companies such as Cybex® and Parabody®. Then he through of an idea to make space saving dumbbells that replaced racks of dumbbells in the space of 1 pair. He called that dumbbell a PowerBlock and started a company making PowerBlocks 20 years ago. Not it's the latter part of 2012 and we decide to make a fully commercial rated "bullet proof" bench. What do we name it? As we put the bench through the testing phases someone says, "Man, that is one serious bench." Alas, the bench is named. Let's pay homage to the beginning. If you buy this bench you will not be disappointed. This is one SERIOUS bench.

I started taking Reclipsen about 4 months ago, and I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. First, my period has been continuing for over a month now.

Tens of Thousands Nationwide Rally Against Obama Mandate
Tens of thousands of Christians, pro-life activists, and religious leaders gathered in over 140 communities across America March 23 to voice their collective opposition to President Obama's notorious contraception mandate.
Jimmy Carter Authors Study Bible, Endorses "Gay" Marriage
Former President Jimmy Carter (left) has just released a new study Bible, and if his recent interview with Huffington Post religion editor Paul Raushenbush is any indication, the former President's study notes will offer a disconcerting combination of biblical wisdom and liberal notions.
Nationwide Rally Against Contraception Mandate Slated for March 23
Christians and pro-life activists will gather March 23 in at least 140 cities around the nation to take a bold stand against the Obama Administration's contraception mandate. Eric Scheidler (left) of the Pro-Life Action League, who is organizing the Nationwide Rally for Religious Freedom, said that since his group began planning the event, the number of cities expressing interest in hosting rallies has nearly tripled.
New York Times Runs Anti-Catholic Ad, But Refuses One Critical of Islam
The New York Times, never considered a model of objective journalism, is being accused of having an editorial double-standard after it published a full-page ad aggressively critical of the Catholic Church, but refused a nearly identical one critical of Islam. The anti-Catholic ad (left, top portion), run in mid-March by the atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), was framed as an "Open Letter to 'liberal' and 'nominal' Catholics," declaring that "It's Time to Consider Quitting the Catholic Church."
Ill. Catholic Convent Battling Construction of Porn Business Next Door
Residents of the Chicago suburb of Stone Park, Illinois, have joined the Sisters of a local convent in an effort to stop a $3 million "porn palace" from opening next door to the Catholic facility. With the help of the Thomas More Society, a Catholic legal advocacy group, the Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo and Stone Park village residents are demanding that city officials put a halt to construction of the extravagant strip club, located several feet from the property line of the Sisters' convent.
"Gay" Animosity on Display as Kirk Cameron Takes Stand for Traditional Values
Hollywood actor-turned Christian evangelist Kirk Cameron has been the object of a nearly non-stop verbal assault over comments he made in defense of traditional marriage during an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan. Appearing on the network's Piers Morgan Tonight to discuss his new movie Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure, Cameron commented on homosexuality, calling it "unnatural.… I think that it's detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization."
Former NASA Employee Charges He Was Fired for "Intelligent Design" Views

Chick-fil-A Attacked for Supporting Christian Groups
Students at Boston's Northeastern University have succeeded in blocking fast-food chain Chick-fil-A from opening a franchise on the school's campus, following complaints that the company financially supports organizations that have an "anti-gay" bias.
N.C. County Stands up to ACLU's Attack on Public Prayer
A North Carolina county has thumbed its nose at the state's ACLU franchise, which has been warning county officials all over the state to stop opening government meetings with prayer. As reported by the Associated Press, a "Rowan County commissioner opened the board's [March 5] meeting with a Christian prayer, despite a warning from the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union that it would violate the law and potentially trigger a lawsuit. As has long been the elected board's practice, Commissioner Jon Barber (left) opened the public meeting with an invocation asking for a blessing in the name of Jesus."
Oregon Library Faces Lawsuit for Banning Christian Group
A nationally renowned faith-based legal advocacy organization is suing the Seaside Public Library in Oregon for denying the group the use of a meeting room to hold a biblical education seminar. The Virginia-based group Liberty Counsel (LC), which holds Christian worldview seminars around the nation, had contacted the library in 2010 about scheduling a meeting room for one of its seminars, but library officials flatly rejected the request, citing a policy prohibiting "religious services or proselytizing" on library property.

The Chicago Tribune has broken a story detailing the presence of toxic diesel exhaust in passenger cars on Metra.
Holland, Groves, Schneller & Stolze, LLC has obtained preliminary approval of a class action against U.S. Title Guaranty Company ("U.S. Title") in Circuit Court of St. Louis City, Missouri, alleging that U.S. Title collected certain fees at settlements from consumers and did not always perform the corresponding service in violation of Missouri law. Under the terms of the settlement, all class members from whom fees were collected and no service was performed are eligible to receive a full refund of the fees collected. In addition, U.S. Title has modified its practice with respect to the imposition, collection and disposition of the fees at issue.
HGSS partner Steve Stolze recently received the distinct honor of being named one of the United States "Top 100 Trial Lawyers" by The American Trial Lawyers Association".
As reported by the national media, the Holland Law Firm recently filed a class action lawsuit against Enbridge, Inc and related companies regarding the release of nearly a million gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River in central Michigan.
HGSS partners Steve Stolze and Eric Holland obtained a $17,000,000 jury verdict recently for a client with a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a fall from a defective railroad car in the Chicago area. The defendant disputed the nature and extent of the plaintiff's injuries and argued to the jury that there was no brain injury sustained.
Law360, New York (May 05, 2010) -- BP PLC is currently facing at least 40 civil lawsuits by property owners, fishermen, seafood processors and restaurants in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida and, like the growing oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico, the spread of litigation shows no signs of abatement.
On April 20, 2010, a series of events unfolded on the oil rig Deepwater Horizon (hereinafter "Deepwater Horizon") that ultimately led to its sinking and the release of crude oil into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. These events have been widely covered by the media and include an explosion and subsequent fire, along with the loss of a large number of lives as a result thereof. The sunken oil rig is releasing large amounts of oil which, despite initial estimates by certain Defendants and their representatives, is now reported to be up to 5,000 gallons of crude oil per day that is being pumped into the Gulf waters from the sunken rig.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has rejected an attempt by the Norfolk Southern Railroad to deny FELA coverage to one of its workers who was engaged in work at the Lamberts' Point Coal Terminal in Norfolk, Virginia.
Holland Groves managing partner Eric D. Holland was recently named one of Detroit's Top Lawyers for 2010 by Detroit Business Magazine.

Before he ever flips the ignition switch of his No. 99 Toyota tomorrow morning, 19-year-old NASCAR Nationwide Series sophomore Trevor Bayne has had a momentous week:
He's gone to sleep in a foreign country.
"I was running around the airport with my (first) passport, saying: 'Look, I got one!' " Bayne joked yesterday at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve during a news conference to promote this weekend's NAPA Auto Parts 200.
Bayne, the youngest driver in Sunday's Nationwide race, arrived at 1 a.m. yesterday from his native U.S., the first time he's set foot beyond his borders.
Already, there's been yesterday's culture shock of hearing race promoter Francois Dumontier and drivers Patrick Carpentier and Andrew Ranger speak long paragraphs of French.
"It's kinda different, sitting at a media deal and not knowing anything that anybody's saying, except when they say your name," Bayne said, laughing again. "You just hope what they're saying about you is good."
This was after Carpentier had explained in French that he'd help teach Bayne, a stablemate here with Michael Waltrip Racing, a little about the Villeneuve track in tomorrow's practice.
"For all I know," Bayne said, grinning, "Patrick said I was ugly."
In Montreal, the teenager from Knoxville, Tenn., could legally sip a beer for probably the first time in his life.
"I've never even tasted one," he said, untempted by the stories he's heard about Montreal's joie de vivre. "I've got a one-track mind this weekend, and it's all racing."
Bayne is displaying this focus, and his blossoming talent, with each race. The NAPA 200 will be his 40th Nationwide Series event, his 25th this season. He's still looking for his first win, but he earned three consecutive poles last month and has four top-five finishes.
This year, he's not been running at the checkered flag only four times, showing an ability to keep his nose mostly clean in a physical series. He's completed almost 93 per cent of the laps in his races, leading 95 laps along the way.
Montreal will be only his fifth career road-course race, having run two each in Nationwide and NASCAR's K&N Pro Series East.
Race promoter seeks government largesse, Page B10
"They're a treat, something different, when you run ovals all year long," he said. "And going to a different country is fun, too."
At some point today, Bayne will get his first look at the 14-turn Villeneuve circuit; that is, beyond the YouTube video highlights he'd planned to watch last night. He's hoping to take a 15 km/h pace-car tour with Carpentier to get a feel for the long straightaways, ridiculously tight corners and the curbs that love upsetting a stock-car's balance.
"If it was a half-mile track, I might walk around it," Bayne said, grinning once more. "But this place is about two miles around, so I might not go for a jog on it.
"What's so important on a road course is being able to move around on your line, find that little bit of speed in each corner. When you have this many corners, a little bit (of time saved) in each one adds up."
In pre-qualifying practice tomorrow, Bayne will try to hook up with any of the handful of road-course specialists in this field -2008 NAPA 200 winner Ron Fellows, for one; Carpentier, Jacques Villeneuve, Marcos Ambrose, Boris Said, Robby Gordon, Max Papis and his own good buddy Michael McDowell, to name seven more.
Bayne is learning this sport with every shift of his gears, listening to some of his fellow competitors talk trash and feud on and off the track while wisely saying: "I'm definitely not there yet."
He takes advice from every corner, 2009 Montreal winner Carl Edwards having gently scolded him for driving the wheels off his Toyota from the first drop of the green flag.
"Carl wasn't harsh, he was pretty honest about it," Bayne said. "I'm used to short-track racing, so (driving hard from the start) is what you do. I've had to learn to give and take.
"These (Sprint) Cup guys are used to 500-mile races. They just ride around for the first half and they're there at the end."
Bayne has developed a thick skin, as essential as a spanner in the NASCAR garage. He fully expects to be razzed about his new braces, fitted last week for a six-month stay. At least he's not alone.
"They feel so weird," he said. "I've got a lisp, food sticks to them -but (Cup driver) Greg Biffle also has 'em!"
Bayne's goals for this weekend are both realistic and modest, gunning for a top-10 finish in his Out! Pet Care Toyota. Appropriate sponsorship, seeing how he's just a pup himself.
"If you can stay out of trouble and stay on the track in a Nationwide road-course race, you just about finish 10th," he said, having placed there at Road America in June.
Bayne got a look at the start/ finish line of the Villeneuve circuit yesterday noon, climbing the flagstand for a photo. And with an innocent question, soon to head back into town as the news conference wrapped up, he demonstrated just how much he has to learn about this brand-new city.
"Any good restaurants here?"
Only one or two.

CROSS RIVER, N.Y. – With just 314 students, Valhalla is one of the smallest Class B schools in Section 1. In the John Jay-Cross River softball tournament, the Vikings went up against Arlington (Class AA, enrollment of 2,544) and John Jay-Cross River (Class A, enrollment of 915).
But it didn't faze the Vikings in the slightest.
Valhalla showed that they can hang with the bigger schools by defeating John Jay-CR, 12-4, in the tournament championship on Saturday. The Vikings (11-4) came from behind to beat Arlington 4-2 in the opening round behind a two-run home run from senior outfielder Danielle Maffei.
"It means a lot," freshman shortstop Brandi Coon said of winning the tournament. "We put a lot of hard work into what we did and kept our heads high the whole time. We just did our best and it turned out in our favor."
After John Jay-CR cut Valhalla's lead to 5-4, the Vikings responded with seven unanswered runs including three runs in the top of the fourth. Coon had a two-RBI double.
"Our batters just focused on the new pitcher (Joanna Giordano) and saw what was going on with her," Coon said. "We just had to put the ball in play and get some more runs."
"We put the ball in play, found a couple of holes and were able to tack on," Valhalla coach John Hayes said.
Valhalla scored two runs in the top of the sixth with RBI singles from first baseman Jenna Saldi and freshman pitcher Sydni Holtz. Outfielders Kaylie Dymek (5 for 5, two RBI) and Jade Fumarelli each added an RBI in the seventh. Fumarelli also had an RBI double in the first inning.
Also contributing RBI for the Vikings were Maffei and senior catcher Madeline DeMilio.
"Everyone in our line-up can hit," Coon said. "They're all hard workers."
Holtz allowed 11 hits, but seemed to get better on the mound as the game progressed. She has been battling a groin injury.
"For the last three games she's been able to hit spots," Hayes said. "She's been able to go in and go out. She keeps kids off balance. She's not going to blaze it by you, but she's going to throw some junk at you to get you to hit some weak ground balls and pop ups."
The defense was also there to back up Holtz as Valhalla was virtually flawless in the field.
"We've always taken pride in our defense," Hayes said. "But to be honest, when we opened up, things were very shaky and inconsistent. Now they're finally starting to be more consistent. Offense wins games, but defense wins championships and that's what we're shooting for."
After falling behind 2-0 in the top of the first, John Jay (6-8) fought back with two runs in the bottom half. Kim Dolhon started things with a double followed by a single from Joanna Giordano. Theresa Swertfager then smacked an RBI single and Victoria Gullen had an RBI single of her own a few batters later.
Devon Novick tripled to start the bottom of the third and was brought home by a Gullen triple. Ali Matschke had an RBI double.
After a slow start to the season, the young Vikings have been on fire of late. They picked up a 3-1 win over Class B contender Rye Neck on Thursday and expect to see them again down the road.
"We've got some senior leadership and a lot of young kids," Hayes said. "In the beginning we had some growing pains. It's starting to come together and we're being a little more consistent. Our defense keeps us in every game."
Valhalla is the defending Section 1 Class B champion and won back-to-back Section 1 Class C titles prior to that.
"We want to do our best and whatever happens, happens," Coon said of the mindset heading into sectionals. "We just have to always keep a positive attitude."

Nepali or Nepalese (नेपाली), is a language in the Indo-Aryan languages. It is the official language and de facto lingua franca of Nepal and is also spoken in Bhutan. Nepali has official language status in the formerly independent state of Sikkim and in West Bengal's Darjeeling district. Nepali developed in proximity to a number of Indo-Aryan languages, most notably Pahari and Magahi, and shows Sanskrit influences. However, owing to Nepal's geographical area, the language has also been influenced by Tibeto-Burman. Nepali is mainly differentiated from Central Pahari, both in grammar and vocabulary, by Tibeto-Burman idioms owing to close contact with the respective language group. Nepali language shares 40% lexical similarity with Bengali language.
Historically, the language was first called the Khas language (Khas kurā), then Gorkhali or Gurkhali (language of the Gorkha Kingdom) before the term Nepali (Nepālī bhāṣā) was taken from Nepal Bhasa. Other names include Parbatiya ("mountain language", identified with the Parbatiya people of Nepal) and Lhotshammikha (the "southern language" of the Lhotshampa people of Bhutan).
Writing system[edit]
Nepali is commonly written in the Devanagari script. There is some record of using Takri script in the history of Nepali, especially in western Nepal, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh.
Nepali developed a significant literature within a short period of a hundred years in the 19th century. This literary explosion was fueled by Adhyatma Ramayana; Sundarananda Bara (1833); Birsikka, an anonymous collection of folk tales; and a version of the South Asian epic Ramayana by Bhanubhakta. The contribution of trio-laureates Lekhnath Poudyal, Laxmi Prasad Devkota Muna Madan, and Balkrishna Sama took Nepali to the level of other world languages. Laxmi Prasad Devkota is Greatest Poet of Nepali. The contribution of expatriate writers outside Nepal, especially in Darjeeling and Varanasi in India, is also notable. In the past decade, there have been many contributions to Nepali literature from the Nepali diaspora in Asia, Europe, and America.
Number of speakers[edit]
According to the 2011 national census, 44.6 percent of the population of Nepal speak Nepali as a native language.[2] The Ethnologue website counts more than 17 million (2007) and 42 million (2012) speakers worldwide, 17 million within Nepal (from the 2001 census).[3]
Nepali is traditionally spoken in the Hill Region of Nepal (Pahad, पहाड), especially in the western part of the country. Though Nepal Bhasa was the dominant language in the Kathmandu valley, Nepali is currently the most dominant. Nepali is used in government and as the everyday language of a growing portion of the local population. Nevertheless, the exclusive use of Nepali in the courts and government of Nepal is being challenged. Recognition of other ethnic languages in Nepal was one of the objectives of the Maoist insurgency.[4]
In Bhutan, those who speak Nepali (known as Lhotshampa) are estimated at about 35 percent [5] of the population. This number includes displaced Bhutanese refugees, with unofficial estimates of the ethnic Nepali population as high as 30 to 40 percent, constituting a majority in the south (about 242,000 people).[6]) Since the late 1980s, over 100,000 Lhotshampas have been forced out of Bhutan, accused by the government of being illegal aliens.[5] A large portion of them were expelled in an "ethnic cleansing" campaign, and presently live in refugee camps in eastern Nepal.
In India, there is a large number of Nepali-speaking people. In North-East India (states of Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh), there are several million Nepali speakers. A considerable number of Nepali-speaking people are also present in many Indian cities such as Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Visakhapatnam, Goa, Bihar, Darjeeling, Sikkim, Chennai, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
Combining the Ethnologue figures [3] with strong population growth in Nepal and India, the assumption of 20 million people with Nepali as their native language is a reasonable estimate for 2006.[clarification needed]
History of the language[edit]
Calligraphy |
Around 500 years ago, Khas from the Karnali-Bheri-Seti basin migrated eastward, bypassing inhospitable Kham highlands to settle in lower valleys of the Gandaki basin that were well suited to rice cultivation. One notable extended family settled in Gorkha, a small principality about halfway between Pokhara and Kathmandu. In 1559 AD a Lamjunge prince Dravya Shah established him in the throne of Gorkha with the help of local Khas and Magars. He raised an army of khas with the commandership of Bhagirath Panta. Later, in the late 18th century his heir Prithvi Narayan Shah raised and improvised an army of Khasa (Chhetri), Thakuri, Gurungs, and Magars and possibly other hill tribesmen and set out to conquer and consolidate dozens of small principalities in the Himalayan foothills. Since Gorkha had replaced the original Khas homeland as thary initiative, Khaskura was redubbed Gorkhali, i.e. language of the Gorkhas.[citation needed]
The most notable military achievement of Prithvi Narayan was conquest of the urbanized Kathmandu Valley, on the eastern rim of the Gandaki basin. This region was also called Nepal at the time. Kathmandu became Prithvi Narayan's new capital, from which he and his heirs extended their domain east across the Koshi basin, north to the Tibetan Plateau, south into the plains of northern India, and west across the Karnali/Bheri basin and beyond.[citation needed]
Expansion – particularly to the north, west, and south – brought the growing state into conflict with the British and Chinese. This led to wars that trimmed back the territory to an area roughly corresponding to Nepal's present borders. Both China and Britain understood the value of a buffer state and did not attempt to further reduce the territory of the new country. Since the Kathmandu Valley or Nepal had become the new center of political initiative, this word gradually came to refer to the entire realm and not just the Kathmandu Valley. And so Gorkhali, language of Gorkha, again came to be known as Nepali.[citation needed]
Khaskura/Gorkhali/Nepali is spoken indigenously over most of Nepal west of the Kaligandaki River, then progressively less further to the east. This is shown graphically in detailed language maps of western [1] and eastern [2] Nepal as language number 73.

I sent this book to each of the grieving families. I could think of no better way to comfort them than to let them know that their innocent child was sitting in his Father's lap.My only regret was that I wanted the book to go on forever!

I can't imagine eating portobellos raw. I drizzled mine in flax oil and broiled 5 minutes per side and it was delicious!
i enjoy portobellos raw but can NOT envision them with almond butter and tomato? no. that's just a food VIOLATION!
i have a portobello sandwich recipe (made it last night in fact) i will post up
meatza portabello sure, blt no problem
portobello and almond butter??? no no no!
I loved this idea! I grilled the mushroom first, then spread 2tbsp Organic Sunbutter over it and topped it with 4oz Applegate Farms Blk Forest Ham.
God, shut up, all of you. Food violation? This did not taste good at all? Who the hell do you think you are? I hate people on the Internet.
I'm extremely open minded and usually don't bother posting comments like this, but I really want to save folks from wasting some fairly expensive ingredients on this dish. I powered through half trying to will myself to believe it was good, but I finally just threw it out. More power to the folks who said they enjoyed it. There's no doubt all those raw veggies are packed with nutrients, but there are plenty of other great paleo options that taste much better.
I made burgers and used the portabellas as the bun. I didn't realize that sauteeing the mushroom would pull the water out of it so it was very soggy. I don't really like raw mushrooms. Any suggestions or it is what it is with watery mushrooms? This sandwich sounds great and I'll try it. Thanks for sharing. It is appreciated. :) To each his own. :)
Thanks. -
This recipe leaves mushroom for improvement.
I learned from the Mycological Society of Seattle that raw mushrooms are not healthy for you. Raw mushroom contains a small level of bio accumulating toxin. Over long periods of consumption can have negative effects.
I made this last night and absolutely loved it!!!!!!!! I used dijon mustard instead of almobd butter (go easy on it ) and used all the rest of ingredients. Except I left out the avocado(didn't have any) and substituted tomato for 2 sliced cherry tomatoes. Finally, I drizzled tops of portabellas with coconut oil, which gave it a great flavor and left in broiler for 3-5 minutes…and Voila!!! Amazingness in your mouth!
This mushroom recipe has a link in the pork section. FYI.
i thought it was very good! I sauteed onion, bell peppers and the mushroom stems together. I put the caps in a 400 degree oven for 2 mins. They were firm still but not totally raw. I put dijon mustard on the caps, placed bacon, avacado and tomato along with the sauteed mixture and added cold spinach. It was quite delicious!
Please leave the recipe in the collection.
