This is an insight not only into Kruger National Parks wildlife, but also the history surrounding it. Accommodation on this South African safari is luxurious with an abundance of wild animals to be seen from your open safari vehicle.
Our 3 day Jock of the Bushveld package is based on a 2 night stay at a private luxury safari lodge in Kruger Park. The package is ideal for a wide variety of travelers as it caters for wedding parties, corporate groups, family safaris and also the discerning traveler.
History surrounds you from the minute you arrive at your luxury lodge. Reflecting a colonial influence in style and decorations, each room is exquisitely furnished and offers 5 star amenities. The likelihood of seeing Africas Big 5 from an open safari vehicle is extremely good and every day on safari in South Africa will be an adventure on this rather unique Jock of the Bushveld package.
Wildlife activities can be as diverse as daily game drives to frogging safaris, which is a very special and rather unique way of learning something new. Starlit skies with gourmet meals complete the picture and before you know it, you will be in love with the African bush on this exciting South African safari experience. This is your chance to connect with the past and experience game viewing at its best in Kruger Park.
The day will start off with a morning flight to Nelspruit. Upon arrival you will be met by a representative waiting to transfer you to the Kruger National Park for the next 2 nights.
Time is allowed to freshen up before lunch and the afternoon game drive which will last approximately 3-4 hours depending on sightings. The guide usually stays out as long as possible if game viewing is exceptionally good, so you are sure not to miss anything. Dinner will be served in the open air boma tonight and then it is off to bed early for a good nights rest.
Following your early morning wake-up call with coffee/tea and rusks, you will head out on a morning game drive in an open safari vehicle during which your ranger will track African wildlife such as lion, buffalo, elephant, rhino and cheetah. You will return to the lodge for brunch.
The midday period of this South African safari in Kruger Park is spent at leisure so you will have time to relax at the pool with a good book or even treat yourself to a massage at the bush spa. After high tea and snacks there is an evening safari to look forward to which will give you a chance to spot nocturnal animals in their natural habitat.
A traditional African dinner is served on your return to the camp. Discuss the days' sightings with other guests around the crackling fire with an after dinner drink before turning in for the evening.
After another early wake-up call you will depart on the morning open safari vehicle game drive during which you will have a final chance of spotting animals that you might have missed so far. Breakfast is served once you arrive back at the lodge.
You will have time to check out and do some gift shopping before departing from the lodge to Nelspruit for your flight back to Johannesburg.

There are a variety and many factions of anarchism.
It is a mistake to claim all anarchists are the same.
All of them believe in decentralization and zero government but disagree on the means of achieving that where there is all sorts of beliefs that seperate them too.
One of the biggest differences are those anarchists that prefer all out violent methods of achieving their goals versus the pacifists who believe nonviolence is the method of attaining a existence of 'peaceful' anarchy. It is one of the greatest disagreements between anarchists themselves.
From my own study there are six very different factions of anarchism.
I shall try to outline them here briefly.
The individualist anarchists- These anarchists are followers of Max Stirner also known as Johann Kaspur Schmidt. They are the oldest school of anarchist thought since Max Stirner was one of the first anarchist thinkers recorded atleast in Europe.
His American equivalent was the anarchist writer James L. Walker who's name I take here on ILP.
Individualist anarchists believe in the power of the individual and maintain that individual sovereignty to be the foundation of anarchy.
What is unique about individualist anarchists is that they seek to understand selfishness, egoism, and competition instead of trying to wish it away.
I think it is because individual anarchism tries to understand the general destructive tendencies of human beings.
I myself am a individualist anarchist.
The anarchist collectivists- This version of anarchism includes all the anarchist socialists, communists, marxists, and syndicalists. Thinkers like Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Bakunin, Noam Chomsky, Zizek, and Proudhon dominate this version of anarchism.
For the anarchist collectivist the individual must succumb or be sacrificed for the majority collective. This has cause some animosity between the individualist anarchists versus the collectivists.
The reason communisn is popular with this faction is because collectivized communes are the goal.
This faction of anarchism is all about egalitarianism even if it means forcing people to be equal. In contrast individualist anarchists accept inequality as just natural phenomena which further causes seperation between the individualists and collectivists.
Religious anarchists- This version of anarchism centers around religion.
It is led by thinkers such as Leo Tolstoy or Kropotkin.
This version of anarchism prides itself on religious devotion.
Green anarchists- These anarchists pride themselves on ecological and environmental preservation where they view the state to be in direct opposition to.
Unlike anarcho primitivists who reject the virtues of technology green anarchists view technology as a means to their environmental goals.
Anarcho primitivists/ anarchist primitivists- This faction believes in the absolute rejection of technology and modern industrial society for the decentralized living of humanity's ancient past.
They view technological and modern industrial society as tools of the state needing to be resisted. Thinkers that support this version of anarchism are John Zerzan, Jared Diamond, and many noticeable others.
While I would not call myself a full fledged anarcho primitivist I certainly can sympathize with many of their perspectives as a individualist anarchist.
Anarcho Capitalists- This version of anarchists views all forms of government as a hindrance to the free market and capitalism.
For them anarchism is the goal for fully functional capitalism.
Thinkers that support this would be Murray Rothbard.

Large Brookite from Pakistan
Posted by Brander Robinson
Large Brookite from Pakistan February 25, 2012 02:00AM |
Registered: 8 years ago Posts: 118 |
Brookite is about 6cm x 3.5cm. There is a small amount of white matrix on the back. Front has an area that looks like golden rutile in the lower center of the photo. Seems to be some chipping along one edge but otherwise in nice shape for a large crystal. A value of this specimen would be appreciated. Thanks for any help.

"What are your key strengths and weaknesses?"
It should be a simple enough question, but it's left many an applicant stumped over how to answer it.
What an interviewer really wants to discover are your soft skills. They will already know your academic qualifications and professional experiences, but the way you work, think and interact is equally important. These are traits and skills that until now have been hard for employers to determine until the interview process or even until a candidate has started in employment.
Professional review site ViewsOnYou can finally help you answer these questions with confidence.
Your Key Strengths
ViewsOnYou has redefined the 360 professional review process by crowd-sourcing peer reviews of how you work, think and interact. Users can create and control their professional online identity, building their ViewsOnYou profile by getting reviewed from the people who know them best, such as friends and co-workers. A ViewsOnYou profile allows you to accurately demonstrate your soft skills; how you work, think and interact.
With each review you receive, your top five key traits emerge. The more reviews received, the more accurate your profile becomes, and these top 5 traits become a key indicator of what makes you unique, and what you can bring to an organisation. Based on the ViewsOnYou calculation, only 1 in 8 million people will have the same top 5 traits!
Your Key Weaknesses
When you are asked about your weaknesses, the points to highlight should depend largely on context. A certain character trait in one environment may be regarded as a strength, but in another it could be a weakness. Consequently, by giving the interviewer a contextual answer, you are getting to a more fundamental response.
The ViewsOnYou Company Match lets you match your own ViewsOnYou profile with the culture of companies you are interested in, and highlights not only where you are most similar to employees within the company, but also the traits where you are least similar. We believe it is these traits where you often have the most to bring to a company, so although they can be perceived as weaknesses, they are also the very same traits that make you stand out, the unique traits that you can bring to a company.
In an era when nine out of 10 employers report using social media to screen prospective employees, a ViewsOnYou profile tells the story beyond your resume, and is as integral to your public professional identity as your CV.

WHAT'S THE FORECAST: Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location. Humankind has attempted to predict the weather since ancient times. For millennia people have tried to forecast the weather. In 650 BC, the Babylonians predicted the weather from cloud patterns. In about 340 BC, Aristotle described weather patterns in Meteorologica. Chinese weather prediction lore extends at least as far back as 300 BC. Ancient weather forecasting methods usually relied observed patterns of events. For example, it might be observed that if the sunset was particularly red, the following day often brought fair weather. This experience accumulated over the generations to produce weather lore. Today, weather forecasts are made by collecting data about the current state of the atmosphere and using computer models of the atmospheric processes to project how the atmosphere will evolve.
HOW DO METEOROLOGISTS PREDICT THE WEATHER? Weather forecasting is an inexact science, and many different methods are used in combination to make a prediction. The "climatology method" averages weather statistics gathered over many years for a specific region to make a prediction. But this only works when the weather pattern is similar to what is expected for the chosen time of year. Taking it to the next level, meteorologists examine a forecast and then look to a day in the past where the conditions were very similar -- and then predict that the current weather is expected to behave like that. However, tiny differences in conditions can make big differences in the actual weather. Radar systems send a signal -- usually microwaves -- towards an object or region, and then analyze how long it takes for the signal to be reflected back. Those results can reveal valuable information about the weather.
WHAT IS DOPPLER RADAR: Doppler radar uses a well-known effect of light called the Doppler shift. Just as a train whistle will sound higher as it approaches a platform and then become lower in pitch as it moves away, light emitted by a moving object is perceived to increase in frequency (a blue shift) if it is moving toward the observer; if the object is moving away from us, it will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum. Doppler radar sends out radio waves that bounce off objects in the air, such as raindrops or snow crystals, and then measures how much the frequency changes in returning radio waves to better determine wind direction and speed.
The American Meteorological Society contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

THE LOYOLA MAROON LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 AUGUST 25, 1989 VOLUME 68, NO. 1 Thief takes computers from Bobet No arrests have been made in connection with the theft of computer equipment valued at $39,000 from the Office of Academic Computing June 22, director of Loyola Security Alan Abadie said. Loyola security officer Sgt. Robert Lewis was on routine patrol just after midnight on the first floor of Bobet Hall, where Academic Computing is located, when he discovered the office had been robbed, Abadie said. Security officers estimated the time of the break-in to be 10:15 p.m., Abadie said. Among the items stolen were numerous Macintosh computers, hard disks, monitors and software, though authorities would not release exact figures concerning what was stolen because the case is still under investigation. Academic Computing used the equipment for instructional activities, including testing software to be used on campus and helping faculty members with research, director of Academic Computing Herbert L. Nickles said. "They cleaned us out," he said. However, no laboratory or student equipment was taken, Nickles said. Abadie said more information would be available after the investigation of the incident is closed. — Kevin Shank Photo by Shannon White New and improved — A worker from Shamrock Construction Company rewires walls in Greenville Hall. The hall is currently Deing remodeled. Overbooked dorms leave 25 roomless By Christopher Doyle Staff writer A shortage of on-campus housing at Loyola has forced 25 male residents into temporary living arrangements in Biever and Cabra Halls, with some having to live in study lounges. Students without permanent rooms have also been placed in resident counselors' rooms and resident assistants' rooms until cancellations make spaces available. Director of Residential Life Robert Reed said Tuesday the situation was temporary and most of the students would receive permanent housing assignments before undergraduate classes began Wednesday. Reed said Residential Life assigned rooms by matching residence hall contracts in the order the contracts were received.He added that the housing shortage is a result of a larger freshmen class and upperclassmcn requests for on-campus housing. In the fall of 1988, Loyola moved 16 students to Tulane's Patterson Hall because of the shortage of rooms. Reed said students this year will not have to be moved to Tulane dormitories because of a lack of space. "The situation is not as bad as last year," he said, adding there are still rooms availableLeaders outline plans for 1989-90 Agenda 1989-90 Goals and direction. In order to move forward successfully, to progress, one must have definite objectives and certain paths—and the drive and determination to follow through on decisions and to persevere when faced with obstacles. The past few years at Loyola have been hindered by a lack of funding and student apathy that stood in the way of smooth steps ahead. This semester, however, a sense of change seems to permeate all departments and offices. The critical observation and evaluation during difficult times has coalesced into many focal points for the university community — from new contracts and agreements to fresh organization outlooks.These new focuses have been given structure within the agendas of the university's administrators and leaders as they look and plan ahead in preparation for the new semester. range planning. Rev. George F. Lundy, SJ. Senior Vice President and Dean of Faculties Rev. James C. Carter, SJ. University President The Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., university president, said his foremost concern for the 1989-90 school year will be ensuring that Loyola remains a Jesuit and Catholic institution. Carter also said financial stability will be important due to a depressed local economy that makes it hard to predict the performance of financial resources. In addition, Carter said he was preparing not only a drive for a new library, but also a continuation of Ihc university's long- The Rev. George F. Lundy, S.J., senior vice president and dean of Faculties, said his plans for the semester will concentrate on the curriculum review based on the university outcomes assessment. Last year, Lundy said, the qualities of the ideal Loyola graduate student were studied and developed. This year, the focus will be on refinement, with the final profile circulated among the faculty on Loyola Day. The next step is to implement programs that will help form the ideal graduate, he Dr. Norman Roussell Vice President for Administration said. "In this multiple-year process, this year will be a critical year," he added. Concentration on strengths will be a positive step during the upcoming year. "Each dean will be trying to build on the strengths of their colleges and trying to solve certain problems," Lundy said. Lundy will also be searching for a permanent law dean to replace Thomas Sponsler, who left Loyola. Dr. Norman Rousscll, vice president for Administration, refused to comment.

In one of his periodic sit-downs with reporters yesterday, Ramsey hailed the poll's 53 percent approval rating for the legislature as showing the Republican supermajority is right on:
"That's unheard of," he gushed. "When Congress is in the single digits and we're at 53 percent that means people are paying attention. That doesn't happen by accident. I think people like what we're doing in Tennessee and so I think the team we put together needs to stay together for a few more years."
But what about the even stronger support—63 percent—for Medicaid expansion, RonRam? Well, those same people who are paying such close attention to the legislature have somehow managed to miss out on important drawbacks of Medicaid expansion, he says.
"I bet I could word that question where they weren't in favor of it. I didn't see the question but I bet it did not say, 'Would you be willing for your taxes to go up and other areas of state government to be cut to fund the Medicaid expansion.' I bet you'd get maybe 25 percent."
After you read these links, whether you like it or not, you will have 'Blurred Lines' stuck in your head. Enjoy.

From Rolling Stone: 'Blurred Lines' — The worst song of this year or any other year
Yesterday we passed along two sets of poll results involving next year's U.S. Senate race.
One set of numbers came from the campaign of Democratic Senate candidate Terry Adams, who had commissioned a poll from the left-leaning firm Public Policy Polling. The other was included in the most recent Vanderbilt University poll.
In our post yesterday, we said the two polls "offered conflicting pictures" of the Republican primary between Sen. Lamar Alexander and his Tea Party opponent — and Boner Award Winner! — state Rep. Joe Carr.
For the rest of the day, we heard detailed explanations from all over the place about how our take — such as it was — on the polls was wrong. OK. For the sake of argument, let's try again.
It's as if they planned it just so we couldn't include them in this year's Boner Awards.
Opponents of the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro are at it again, this time in an effort to block an expansion of the ICM's cemetery. Last night, the Rutherford County Board of Zoning Appeals deferred a decision on the expansion until the new year.
BZA member Keith Bratcher on a 3-2 vote won approval of a motion that called for a deferral until at least Jan. 8 or until the ICM can answer his questions with third-party expert answers about whether the soils can handle burials without caskets or vaults and the impact of traffic at the mosque entrance on Veals Road as well as the nearby intersection of Veals and Bradyville Pike.Fellow BZA members Joe Crowell and Joe Meshotto agreed with Bratcher, but Jerry Sartain and Chairman Zane Contrell disagreed.
The BZA meeting lasted about four hours with most of it including the public hearing on the cemetery request.
Since it's the only toad native to Puerto Rico, conservationists have made a concerted effort to try to raise the population of the southern toads. Enter the Nashville Zoo. According to FOX17, the zoo has sent thousands of tadpoles to the island.
The Nashville Zoo began efforts to breed the Puerto Rican crested toad since first acquiring the species in 2008 but was not successful until last year. A recent shipment of 3,774 tadpoles has brought the total number to more than 5,000 produced for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to release back into their native habitat in Puerto Rico.
I admit to being a little jealous. With December being what it is, who wouldn't want to go to Puerto Rico to make sure the little guys get settled in okay?
Anyway, we've had some good conservation successes here and it's nice to know that we're able to help other places have successes of their own.

From The Atlantic: Why a Fair Death Penalty May Never Be Fair
The results of two polls released Wednesday morning offered conflicting pictures of the Republican U.S. Senate primary between Sen. Lamar Alexander and his Tea Party challenger, state Rep. Joe Carr.
The first, released by Democratic Senate candidate Terry Adams' campaign, declared the Senior Senator "surprisingly vulnerable" in the primary, and even suggested Adams might have a shot at the incumbent in the general election. Conducted by Public Policy Polling — a left-leaning operation that has drawn criticism for its methodology — the poll showed Alexander at 46 percent in the GOP primary, with Carr trailing closely at 40 percent (margin of error: +/- 5 percent).
The poll's general election figures seemed particularly curious. Amongst "uninformed" general election voters, the polls shows Alexander at 45 percent with Adams at 32 percent. But "after voters learn about Adams experiences as a veteran, and small business owner, middle class background, and statewide roots" Adams leads the incumbent by 4 points, coming in at 41 percent to Alexander's 37 percent.
After a quick gathering of the Metro Council last night, the Nashville Sounds new stadium at Sulphur Dell is a go.
From the Post:
Legislation enabling the project was the only thing on the agenda for Tuesday night's special called meeting and it took no more than 30 minutes for the council to pass it all on third reading. The council approved the $65 million bond issue for the stadium by a vote of 29-7. Two other bills related to the project — one dealing with land acquisition and the other amending the Phillips-Jackson Street Redevelopment plan to accommodate the project — passed 31-5 and 34-2, respectively.Along with the ballpark, which will sit on Jackson Street between Third and Fifth avenues, the project includes $87 million in expected private development. The current timeline would have the stadium ready for the Sounds opening day in 2015.
Read the full story here on what At-Large Councilman Jerry Maynard called a "historic" night. He wasn't alone in hailing the deal as a return to baseball's roots in the city, and a long-awaited public investment in North Nashville.
Sen. Lamar Alexander's Chief of Staff Ryan Loskarn is under an investigation involving child pornography.
A statement from Alexander:
"I was just informed by the United States Senate legal counsel's office that law enforcement agents are conducting a search of the personal residence of Ryan Loskarn, the chief of staff of my Washington, D.C., office regarding allegations involving child pornography. I am stunned, surprised and disappointed by what I have learned. Based on this information, I immediately placed Mr. Loskarn on administrative leave without pay. The office is fully cooperating with the investigation."
More as it develops.
Update (1:15 p.m.): Politico reports that Loskarn was taken from his home in handcuffs a little more than an hour ago. Citing a "Senate source, they report that "Agents put several bags of evidence and a computer in a postal inspector SUV. Agents also went to Alexander's Senate office and sought access to Loskarn's work computer."
Along with working under Alexander in the senator's office and at the Senate Republican Conference, Loskarn has also worked for Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn.
Whether you are for or against the death penalty, there's something about the lack of transparency in Tennessee's process that stinks.
Quite simply, if the state is going to be entrusted with the power to end a human life, it should do so in a way that doesn't inspire more questions than answers.
For example, where are the drugs that Tennessee executioners use coming from? In recent years, drugs in six states (including this one) were seized when it was found that they had been illegally imported from other countries.
Deborah Fisher has a great piece about this on the Tennessee Coalition for Open Government's site:
States have sought to keep their new suppliers secret, reasoning that the companies might be harassed or otherwise influenced to shut off supplies if the public became aware of them.Tennessee added an exemption in the Tennessee Open Records Act eight months ago in April to exempt from disclosure "an entity" directly involved in an execution.
Previously, the law allowed only for the names of people directly involved — such as those on the execution team — to be kept confidential.
The updated law explains that the entity could be one "involved in the procurement or provision of chemicals, equipment, supplies and other items for use in carrying out a sentence of death…"
The Tennessean reported in October that the Department of Correction had been waiting, in part, to get the confidentiality law in place before establishing its new lethal injection protocol that uses pentobarbital, common in animal euthanasia.
If the new one-drug protocol had been announced before the law change, it's conceivable that a citizen might have requested information under the state's open records act to successfully discover the drug supplier.
There is currently litigation over state secrecy laws in Arizona and Missouri working through the federal court system now.
If you are a death penalty supporter, laws like the one Tennessee enacted have the potential to introduce further delays into an already lengthy execution process. If you are a death penalty opponent, the state's statute raises the specter that drugs never intended for human application — or are expressly forbidden from being used in executions by their manufacturer — will be used to end lives, but we will never know because Tennessee is keeping it secret.
And as citizens, any time the state government mandates something be kept secret, we should be skeptical, if not alarmed.

Happy New Year everyone! This has been a great year in so many ways. I've had a fun year in the kitchen conquering recipes I never could have imagined trying just a year ago. I love reading other food blogs and am constantly amazed by the food people are creating in their kitchens. They certainly motivate me. Thank you to everyone who has visited my blog this year! I always enjoy reading your comments and suggestions. I hope you'll continue to visit in 2009 and maybe I'll inspire you to try a new recipe!
Speaking of recipes, I still haven't finished posting my holiday goodies. I want to try to get them all up by the end of the day so let's get to it. I mentioned previously that I made two cookie trays this year and I've blogged about the first one. Here is the second one! It included six different treats. I was adventurous and tried mainly recipes I'd never used before with mostly positive results. As I did with my post about the first cookie tray, I'm just going to include a link to each recipe along with any comments I have.
World Peace Cookies
I chose these mostly for Shane's benefit as I knew this cookie tray wouldn't include many other treats he'd like. He's not one to turn down a chocolate cookie so I knew these would be popular with him. The recipe comes from Dorie Greenspan's popular Baking: From My Home to Yours and Dorie delivered again. I'm not usually a big fan of chocolate cookies but these were delicious! I think they were also the most popular on the cookie tray as they were the first to disappear!
Chocolate Rum Balls
I started watching a show called The Cooking Loft on Food Network not too long ago. It is hosted by Alex Guarnaschelli, the executive chef at a restaurant called Butter in NYC. She's incredibly entertaining and makes food fun. She made these a few weeks ago on the show and I knew I wanted to give them a try. I should clarify. I wanted to try making them, not eating them. I knew they'd be too rich for me. As it turns out, I think they were too rich for just about everyone. Shane liked them and I think a few other people commented they were good but I know most people couldn't even finish one because they were so rich.
Peppermint Bark
I had never seen peppermint bark until last year but this year I felt like it was everywhere I looked. It's such a festive looking treat that I thought it would be a fun addition to the trays. It's also really simple to make. I had a minor problem in that I didn't let the first layer of chocolate set quite enough before I spread the white chocolate on top so I had a little bit of blending of the two. It still looked great though and was tasty.
Gingerbread Biscotti
Gingerbread is such a classic holiday flavor I knew I wanted to include a gingerbread treat. These biscotti were a fun change from gingerbread cookies! The recipe I used called for cinnamon chips in the biscotti but I couldn't find them anywhere so I substituted white chocolate chips. I don't make biscotti often and I still struggle with knowing when to take them out of the oven after the second bake. I overcooked these a tad so they were quite crunchy. They had wonderful flavor though and I'm sure would have been a good treat for dunking in coffee or tea!
Cranberry Orange Cookies
These cookies are another product of my recent obsession with cranberries. Plus, I thought they'd be lighter than the really rich chocolate cookies and rum balls on the cookie tray. I also thought they were a pretty cookie with the specks of orange zest both in the cookies and in the sugar they're rolled in prior to baking. I was a bit disappointed in these cookies. They looked great, but I thought they lacked in flavor. I think it's a good base recipe but next time I make these I'd tinker with it a bit to try to create less bland cookies.
Almond Biscotti
I didn't take an individual picture of the biscotti but you can see them on the cookie tray above if you look closely. This is my second time trying this recipe for almond biscotti. The first time I had a lot of trouble shaping the dough and cutting the biscotti after the first bake in the oven. This time didn't prove any different. I don't know what I'm going wrong but I think that next time I want to make almond biscotti I'll be trying a different recipe. I should mention that the finished biscotti actually taste good, but I'd love to find a recipe that produces a more cooperative dough.

These cookies were really tasty. My favorites were the chocolate world peace cookies and the gingerbread biscotti (what great flavor!) and they weren't too crunchy for me. I liked the rum balls as well but they were quite rich so a little went a long way! Thanks for sharing!

Elena Kagan & the Worldwide "Battlefield"
Elena Kagan, Solicitor General of the United States and former dean of Harvard Law School, is widely believed to the frontrunner for President Obama's nomination to succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Biden's Ashes Cause Quite a Stir
It's an annual ritual for millions of Catholics around the world, but when Vice President Joe Biden appeared in public with ashes on his forehead on Ash Wednesday, some newscasters and commentators found it quite remarkable. And at least one, Democratic strategist Bob Beckel, found it quite humorous. Beckel was participating in a Fox News telecast about President Obama's economic stimulus, when Biden appeared on screen. Beckel began to laugh and then offered the following "apology":
Christianity and Salvation
There is a saying about well-intentioned but misguided friends that takes on a special meaning this time of year: "God save me from my friends — I can protect myself from my enemies." And no, I don't mean friends or even family members who might better have given to charity the money they have spent on gifts for you they think are perfectly charming, but from which you derive no pleasure and for which you can find no use. No, I mean the well-intentioned friends of Christ who launch an unofficial campaign each year to "Keep Christ in Christmas."
Obama's War on the BP Oil Spill
It has been widely reported that Rep. Joe Barton has embarrassed the Republican Party. That by itself might be considered a monumental achievement, given what it usually takes to embarrass politicians these days. But Barton's offense is most egregious. He apologized to BP (formerly British Petroleum) for what the Texas Republican characterized as a "shakedown" by President Obama in getting the company to agree to put $20 billion into an escrow account for the compensation of victims of damage done by the explosion at BP's Deepwater Horizon rig and the massive and ongoing spillage of oil off the coast of Louisiana.
Robert Taft: Count Him Conservative
If Robert Taft had been a baseball player instead of a United States Senator, he might have led the league in left-handed compliments. As it was, he was often "damned with faint praise" by people who, while paying tribute to the power of his intellect, quite often suggested both the man and the mind had come of age in the wrong century. The Ohio lawmaker would hear himself praised as one possessing "the best eighteenth-century mind in America" by people who obviously considered an 18th-century mind ill-suited to mid-20th-century politics. Others, frustrated by the Senator's stubborn insistence on examining the facts of any controversy before deciding whether to go with or against the prevailing political winds, were fond of saying, "Taft has the best mind in the Senate — until he makes it up."
A July 4 Warning Against Empire
John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State in the administration of President James Monroe, offered a toast to his native America on July 4, 1821. The Republic was yet young, just 45 years after declaring its independence of Great Britain. The glories of its destiny were mainly to come. But the glories foreseen by Adams, the son of America's second President and destined to be its sixth, were not triumphs of conquest, but rather the majesty of a nation leading truly by the force of example instead of the example of force.
General John Stark: The Man, the Motto, and the "Coverup"
John Stark was a genuine hero of the American Revolutionary War or, if you prefer, America's War for Independence. That he is not generally known beyond the borders of his native New Hampshire is hardly surprising. After George Washington, not many Americans can name a general of that war. And New Hampshire has made General Stark so much its own that his famous saying, "Live Free or Die," has been adopted as the state motto and been engraved on all the state's noncommercial license plates since 1969, replacing the word "Scenic." The motto has not been universally appreciated, however, and one citizen's insistence on taping over it became a legal battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Fort Sumter: Dividing a Nation
Wars are seldom tidy, and often the unfinished business from one war provides the spark and tinder for the next. The forts that guarded Charleston Harbor in the latter half of the 19th century were part of a series of coastal defenses planned after the War of 1812 to protect all the principal seaports of the United States. Like most of the system, the forts in Charleston were still unfinished in 1861. Not long after the war with the British, America became preoccupied with battles within, as wars with Indian tribes continued through most of the century.
Military-industrial Spending Spree
"Avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican liberty."
— George Washington, Farewell Address, September 17, 1796
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex."
— Dwight Eisenhower, Farewell Address, January 17, 1961
Long before President Dwight Eisenhower warned the nation about the dangers of "an immense military establishment and a large arms industry" in the "Farewell Address" he delivered 50 years ago last month, Americans were familiar with the "unwarranted influence" of "overgrown military establishments."
Mark Twain's Tabooed Talk
It is sometimes said regretfully that many Americans today get their "slant" on the news from TV's late-night comedians. But today's "baby boomers" and Generation X-ers and Y-ers are not among the first Americans to find their politics strained through the filter of humor. More than a century before Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert began coming into people's living rooms via broadcast and cable television, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known to readers around the world as Mark Twain, was infiltrating the same sanctuary via newspapers, magazines, and books. In a 2008 article for Time magazine, humorist Roy Blount, Jr. showed just how topical, yet timeless, Twain's humor was and is.

Bond set for Zanesville man in connection with fatal crash
Written by AVC News
30-year-old charged with vehicular homicide by Nebraska authorities
OMAHA, Neb. -- Bond has been set for a Zanesville, Ohio man charged with vehicular homicide in Nebraska.
Thirty-year-old Evan Shiplett was arrested after being released from an Omaha-area hospital last week, and charged with motor vehicle homicide. Shiplett's bond was set at $50,000 of Friday.
The Omaha Police Department says that Shiplett was under the influence when he lost control of his pick-up on an Interstate 480 off-ramp in early September. His truck left the highway and rolled over, ejecting 19-year-old Matthew Doty of Council Bluffs, who died. Another passenger, 18-year-old Jacob Levene of Neola, Iowa, was not hurt.
Shiplett's preliminary hearing has been scheduled for October 9.

As an international IRB collaboration project, we set out to develop an approach to enhance the understanding of issues related to the conduct of human research with an international partner. While the larger project included two specific aims, the activities supporting the first aim are addressed in this paper—specifically, human research protection program capacity strengthening in Cali, Colombia, through the development of an infrastructure that supports the conduct of human research with appropriate protection of subjects and access to new resources at the international site.
Key words/concepts: institutional review boards; research oversight; IRB decision-making; federalwide assurance (FWA); human research protection program (HRPP); international human subjects research; IRB collaborations

I am very pleased with this headboard. It is stylish and funcional. It took a while to put together because of its size, but it was easy and the directions were clear. While it didn't come with hardware to attach it to a bed frame and neither did the bed frame that we got, It does stand on its own with the bed frame pushed up against it and that has worked fine for us. Overall and especially for the price, it is a good product.
1. I hate overstock review submission as it erased everything important I had for you people by timing out. So that said. 2. Have a large space to individually separate each piece for installation as they are not labeled as directed in the manual and they can chip easily which you can't fix. 3. Make sure you don't use the wrong screws on the big pieces, you will know it when you make the first mistake of making the hole deeper to fit it. Once you do find it or not if lucky than turn around the large piece as you continue install. Remember the holes have been pretty much drilled about right for you to install good. 4. It look's awesome in my room after this troubling installation but for the money it's worth it.
Overall we're very happy with this headboard. We've had it for a couple months now and the only fault I can find with it is that it doesn't attach to the bed frame and we have to dust it a lot. Big whoop. Very convenient for a clip-on lamp for bedtime reading, an alarm clock, a place to put the remote control and a few personal items (books, pics, sleeping masks, tissues, etc...). No real complaints. Easy to put together, took about an hour or less. No missing or damaged pieces.
This headboard was purchased to match a room divider in my Condo which will become a lease. For the value it is practical functional and if damaged no great loss, inexpensive enough to not be a great loss. But looks of reasonable quality. Good value
The headboard and shelves are large enough to put things on/in i.e. books, alarm clock etc. Looks nice but is not overpowering. Great quality for the price
Would highly recommend. Easy assembly and good quality
looks great in our room. we love the space we gained by getting rid of our nightstands and having a headboard instead. wish we would have purchased sooner!
This is one of the few headboards on the market with shelves. It's been great for us. If you have ever put IKEA furniture together this will be a breeze. Just follow the instructions carefully. You will need 2 people, though, if possible. Also, the box is incredibly heavy so be aware. In the end, this is a great headboard for the money and looks much more expensive when paired with our bed.
We got this headboard/shelves a while back and it stills looks good and still solid as a rock. Finish is nice and we love the look. we are very happy with it. Thanks Overstock!!!

Posted: Jan 9, 2013 3:39 PM by Associated Press
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) - Authorities have confirmed a body found in a car that plunged hundreds of feet off a mountain road north of Los Angeles is that of a young woman who went missing early New Year's Day.
Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says 19-year-old Sarah Alarid of Santa Clarita appears to have died as a result of an accident.
Fire officials say the car was reported in the Angeles National Forest shortly before 10 a.m. Wednesday. Alarid's body was found nearby but it's unclear how long she has been there.
Her family says Alarid was last seen leaving a party in a Ford Focus before dawn on New Year's Day. The crash site is several miles southeast of the Canyon Country area of Santa Clarita, where Alarid was last seen.

From October 23-29, 2011, the School of Law is putting the focus on pro bono by participating in the annual National Pro Bono Celebration. Sponsored by the ABA Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service, the Celebration is a "coordinated national effort to meet the ever-growing needs of this country's most vulnerable citizens by encouraging and supporting local efforts to expand the delivery of pro bono legal services, and by showcasing the great difference that pro bono lawyers make to the nation, its system of justice, its communities and, most of all, to the clients they serve." As part of the Celebration, the Law School's Public Interest Center is sponsoring an eclectic slate of events to raise awareness of pro bono work in the law. The events include:
"Using our legal skills to serve those in need is not only an important ethical responsibility of our profession but essential to our Vincentian mission here at St. John's," said Rachel D. Andron, Director of the Public Interest Center. "We hope that by participating in National Pro Bono Week and exposing students to ways they can get involved, we will demonstrate how essential pro bono work is to their experience as lawyers to be." Throughout the week, there will be informational tables in the cafeteria where students can learn more about pro bono opportunities and public interest initiatives offered through the Law School, including the upcoming 100 Hours of Poverty Challenge. From November 6-10, 2011, students will join together to experience 100 hours walking in the footsteps of individuals and families who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the food stamps program. Jennifer Baum, Assistant Professor of Clinical Education, started the 100 Hours Challenge at St. Johns, bringing together a steering committee of constituents from across the University to organize this meaningful community experience. To learn more about public interest opportunities at St. John's School of Law, visit the Center for Public Interest.

Hello Catholic Match "Forumers"!
I just wanted to put something out there and see what other Catholics think of Abstinence. I am a Traditional Catholic and I follow the traditional rules of the Catholic Church, which includes abstaining from meat on every Friday of the year, not just in Lent.
When I go out to eat or something with friends on a Friday, and I won't order or eat anything with meat, it raises the question, and when I tell them I don't eat meat on Friday, they look at me like I have lobsters crawling out of my ears! Lol! There's usually one person who will make the obvious statement: It's not Lent.
They just can't believe that I go without eating meat every Friday of the year, like it's that much of a sacrifice that it's just unthinkable.
So I just wanted to see what other Catholics on here think of Abstinence from meat on Fridays, or if I'm the only one that follows this anymore. (Not that it will matter in the slightest if I am, I'll still do what I know is right.)
I follow the same law and I remember as a kid it could be hard going to a sleepover and having to say I can't eat meat. Now as an adult people don't notice it much.
While your explanation is plausible, that doesn't make it factual. Do you have any credible sources that support it?
HEY! I'm a vegetarian, and there is nothing weird about it!
so meatless Fridays are never a problem for me. but I don't make a big deal of it either.
Don't feel too out of place. Just try living with a vegetarian for a while! Now that is really weird.
Many may not know that the early Church fasted every Wednesday and Friday. During the Middle Ages, that decreased to fasting every Friday, and all of Advent, Lent, and Ember Days. Somewhere in there we lost Wednesdays, Advent and Ember Days. Then after Vatican II, Friday fasts were thrown out and Lenten fasts reduced to just Fridays in Lent instead of all Lent, plus Ash Wed and Good Fri. Another fast we've forgotten is the fast from midnight until communion on Sunday. When my folks were growing up they had last call for drinks just before midnight in Catholic towns because anyone going to communion the next day had to stop drinking at midnight on Saturday....like cinderella. Perhaps, that is where the fairy tale had its origen? That was reduced to 3 hours and then 1 hour after VII, so that now there is essentially no fast except you have to finish breakfast 15 minutes before you leave for Mass and can't eat during the service...although I saw gum chewing last sunday. But, I digress.
People also forget that fasting often included fasting from sex in the olden days. Made Lent rather long, I gather!
Anyway, don't feel bad about keeping up an old tradition. You are setting a good example for the rest of us.
While your explanation is plausible, that doesn't make it factual. Do you have any credible sources that support it?
Unnecessary roughing! 15 yards!

Shumlin: Rail safety something to 'look at'July 19,2013MONTPELIER-Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says that following the rail disaster in Quebec, the state's tracking of what travels through Vermont by train is "certainly something we should look at."
Vermont currently has no routine inspections for tracks, leaving that to the Federal Railroad Administration. It also does not track the type of cargo that is shipped through the state.
Questions about rail safety have come to the fore since a July 6 accident in which a train carrying oil derailed and barreled into the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec. At least five of the train's cars exploded and officials say 50 people were killed.
Shumlin says rail is important to Vermont's economy, but the state has a duty to ensure public safety.MORE IN Vermont NewsDisability advocates are preparing plans for a $2.23 million cut in funding.

A new Season 10 record was announced by Ryan Seacrest--over 60 million votes were cast last night. America spoke up, but who did they send home? We wouldn't find out until the very end of the show, of course.
Ryan visited each judge and talked about Steven Tyler's new title as a best-selling author, but Steven was too busy taking notes as Ryan stood beside him. Perhaps he's penning the sequel to his memoir. Jennifer Lopez released her seventh studio album and would perform on the show later in the evening, and Ryan teased that Randy has a bake sale in Tarzana this weekend.
The Top 5 on 5/5 performed "Happy Together" by The Turtles. The girls harmonized well, and the guys seemed to be having a good time. Next, we saw this week's magical music video.
Hell's Kitchen/Kitchen Nightmares/MasterChef's Gordon Ramsay invited the Top 5 to his kitchen for an omelet cook-off. I'd be nervous after what Chef Ramsay said about Mama Langone's pasta on an Idol episode. Are Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery even old enough to use knives and open flames? Lauren had the best-tasting omelet, and Jacob's was second best, so Gordon invited them to a blind tasting next.
Lady Antebellum won five Grammy Awards this year, and tonight they took the stage to sing "Just A Kiss." Is that Paul McDonald in a subdued jacket? Nope, it's Charles Kelley of Lady A. Can you believe Hillary Scott auditioned for Idol twice and didn't make it past the first round?! The judges and contestants gave the trio a standing ovation.
It was time for the results. Ryan had James Durbin stand up so they could revisit last night's performance and hear Jimmy Iovine's take. James was told to stand on the left side of themay_5 stage. Lauren Alaina was up next, and Ryan told the teary-eyed singer to stand on the opposite side from James. Oh, I know what Ryan is going to do! He's going to split the group into two and make a nice, innocent Idol pick which group they're in.
We went back to the taste-off, where Lauren beat out Jacob. Heck, if this whole singing thing doesn't work out (but it will since Top 5 is a huge accomplishment), she could always become a chef! Ryan, Steven, and Randy sat in the audience with a tub of popcorn and glass of Coca-Cola as Jennifer Lopez took the stage to perform her hit single, "On The Floor." She kicked in glass cells, rose up on a pedestal on the stage, did choreography literally on the floor, and ended with pyrotechnics. Then, we got a tease of her next music video "I'm Into You," which was easy on the eyes to say the least.
When it was time for more results, Jacob Lusk was sent to stand with Lauren, and Haley was positioned next to James. Ryan brought Scotty over and said that he's never been in the bottom, and that streak continues. But then Ryan asked Scotty to choose which other duo was safe, and I was yelling at my TV for Scotty to sit down in the middle like Melinda Doolittle and David Archuleta did on seasons before. Smartly, Scotty said he wouldn't do that, and Ryan placed him next to Haley and James, and said that this was America's Top 3. That left our two best cooks, Jacob and Lauren, in the bottom two.
After 60 million votes, Jacob said adios and went out with a bang. As the judges stood for him, Jacob sang "A House Is Not A Home," and at the end of the song he kept on scatting. The cameras turned off, but on the Idol set, the party continued. Jacob kept on taking the song to church and swung arm-in-arm with the judges. Eventually his mom and grandma made their way up to the stage too. There's a lot to celebrate--Top 5 ain't bad!
Next week, the Top 4 battle it out, and it's anyone's game. We're back to even genders for the first time since the Top 12. Who do you love?

I have high expections from Mattel and this product delivered! Our 5 yr old granddaughter wanted a Barbie house for her birthday. Our first thought was "Ouch, this is gonna hurt...", however, we went to Toys 'R Us and ended up purchasing the Barbie Design & Decorate House plus 3 "sold-separately" accessories (two of them included Barbies) and it was less than $85. Two weeks later, it's still the only gift she wants to play with. Best of all? NO BATTERIES REQUIRED! Total win/win!!

I first thought that this toy was a real dud â€" but my girls love it! In addition to the kitchen and den with foldout bed, I bought the additional furniture shown on the side of the box â€" the bathroom with tub, refrigerator, dining room, bedroom pieces (I bought 2 beds), and laundry room (found them all at Target) â€" and the girls "designedâ€� their own house. As compared to the typical vertical dollhouse, they spread the rooms out and added "wallsâ€� where they wanted them. It functions more like a real house; the dolls go easily from one room to the next. (They particularly liked the laundry room.) They can redecorate whenever they want. It definitely sparked their creativity.
