Jeremy Plonk's Keeneland Keys for Saturday, October 26, 2013
What to Watch for Today: It's the saddest day of autumn, closing day at Keeneland. But thankfully we get 10 more chances to turn frowns upside down on a card that includes the Fayette Handicap. This race has featured winners like Blame and Wise Dan, two of the sport's brightest stars, in recent years.
Rosie Naprvanik all but iced the jockey's title with a massive, four-win Friday at Keeneland. Congrats on an historic run!
Follow me on raceday two ways, either in the live blog/chat at the Keeneland website (http://www.keeneland.com/racing/racing-live-coverage) – also available on your mobile devices – or on Twitter @Keeenelandracing, where I provide up-to-the-minute picks and analysis.
Weather: Mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing to the mid-50s make up the finale's forecast. For up-to-the-minute weather updates for Keeneland, including the track surface temperature and today's maintenance, click: http://www.keeneland.com/racing/track-conditions.
Polycapping 101: Here we go race-by-race to give you the inside stats. All information is gleaned from the free Polycapping database (http://apps.keeneland.com/awstats/Default.asp) that you can manipulate and search for yourself as well!
Race 1 opens the card with $10,000 claimers routing 1-1/16 miles. The $10k claimers at the meet have been evenly distributed between Churchill and Presque Isle Downs preppers, each winning 3 of the 10 offerings. Tahoe Way scored a "run-back" victory here at 19-1 on Wednesday and claiming routes often are a great place for horses making their second start of the meet based on past history. Emmy Who and Safe Word exit fair efforts at the meet. Deep closers have owned the $10k claiming routes, with the 4 races this meet won by a horse who was an average of more than 6 lengths behind after the opening half-mile.
Another claiming route rears its head in Race 2, and those run-back types should be dangerous. Bill of Rights, half-brother to Travers winner Colonel John, looked awfully good here Oct. 10 in victory and steps back up the claiming ladder after being claimed by Chris Richard. Rivendell drops in class and has a win over the Polytrack and figures to be a force in his second start of the season. The race should come down to those two.
Sprinters go 7 furlongs for a $20,000 claiming tag in Race 3. Both $20k claiming sprints this meet were won by horses exiting turf route preps, Straight Town fits that profile for Wesley Ward, a rare invader from Gulfstream's new fall meet. He owns a strong local record with a win and third in two starts. Liberty Wing ran a strange race with a big middle-move here Oct. 16 and may really appreciate the elongated sprint distance where he can make one run. Again, this looks like an either/or race with two key contenders.
Race 4 is for 2-year-old maidens at 1-1/8 miles on turf. Nine of 11 maiden turf routes for the 2YOs run here since Fall 2011 have been won by horses with some experience (2 first-time starters). Seven winners exited turf preps, but don't slough off a horse stretching out in distance as less than half (5 of 11) the winners had exited a route prep. High Wire Kitten just missed by a nose in her debut going 1 mile at the meet, and appears to benefit from that fitness this time. Curlins Queen, Temper Too and Gina's Kitten all would make sense on class, course and distance.
Non-winners of 2 lifetime allowance horses sprint 7 furlongs in Races 5 and 7. In 21 previous Fall Meet N2L allowances at 7 furlongs, horses exiting a sprint prep own a 15-6 advantage over route preppers. Only 5 winners exited turf preps. Young sire Street Boss has had a nice meet with 3 winners between 6 and 8 furlongs. His son Mongol Boss in Race 5 would appear well-placed here and was a sharp second in a Spring Meet maiden race in a solid time. Rapscallion's form when 2nd at Saratoga in August looks better after the demolition we saw his rival Frac Daddy put on an allowance field here earlier in the meet. Keep an eye on Vanity Feature off the long layoff based on the trends as he's a pure sprinter of Polytrack repute. Trainer Tom Drury won not one, but two, N2L allowance sprints during the 2012 Fall Meet. As for the Race 7 division, horses like Book Club, Street Line, Bear On The Run and Any Given Monday exit the preferred sprint prep on a non-turf surface.
Races 6 and 8 are turf mile allowances, and whether it's the Keeneland Spring or Fall, these are traditionally very welcoming spots for long layoff horses to come back running big races. In Race 6, Enchanting Lisa, half-sister to reigning Horse of the Year Wise Dan, makes her first start since August in what looks to be a great spot. Trainer Charlie LoPresti adds blinkers. The turf allowances this meet have shown amazing balance between various circuits feeding winners. All 5 turf mile allowances at the meet were won by horses who prepped at a mile or shorter with 3 of those extending distance a bit. If you want to beat Enchanting Lisa, perhaps the angle would be Neat Package or Party Till Dawn extending a notch off those 7-furlong grass races at Kentucky Downs. The Race 8 version offers a minor stretch-out to the classy Cozetti, whose recent races have been on dirt but ranks better on turf to this eye. Both also-eligibles, Tilden Lane and Leadem In Ken deserve serious looks if they get into the field and have that minor stretch-out profile. Ken McPeek's barn is finishing strong and he has Bellarmine freshened a bit for this spot if he can overcome a wide post. If Rusty Arnold gets to Race 8 on closing day and needs to keep his win-a-meet record going, Exothermic sure takes on more importance, and he's a solid horse in any situation.
The season finale in Race 10 is a maiden claiming sprint going 6 furlongs. Almost all of the 8 winners this meet at the class/distance have had carbon-copy trips about 2 lengths off the lead after the opening half-mile. You want a good presser-stalker type, not pure speed and not a flat-out closer. First-time starters have won just 3 of 21 maiden claimers at the meet, so lean to experience. The wins have been evenly distributed with Churchill, Arlington, Kentucky Downs and Indiana Downs all producing 3 MCL victories. Presque Isle has been shut out here. Pedigree fans, we get to see Eclipse Award winner and G1 Blue Grass runner-up Hansen's little brother, Gunderson, in this class drop, making his first start since February.
Feature Race Play, courtesy of the Horseplayernow.com BUZZ Report: Race 9 is the Grade 2 $200,000 Fayette, run for the eighth time in the Polytrack era. While favorites are just 1-for-7 in this race during that time, note 6 of the 7 winners were 8/1 or less, so it hasn't been bombs away. Only once has the Fayette on Poly been won on the front end and only once by a deep closer. The average winner has been 4 lengths off the lead after the opening half-mile. Six of 7 Fayette winners on Poly exited a route prep at a mile or longer.
In 2010 and 2011, it was Wise Dan and Successful Dan winning this race while making their second starts of the meet. Contenders like Willcox Inn and Winning Cause exit stakes bids at the meet and both have shown some fondness for the surface. Charlie LoPresti, who orchestrated those "run-back" Fayette wins with the Dans, tries this time with Villandry, third in allowance company here Oct. 4 after an 11-month absence. LoPresti also has Set the Sail in his Polytrack debut.
You Know I Know invades from California for John Sadler. I'm a bit disappointed that Julien Leparoux does not come back to Keeneland to ride him. Leparoux has won the Fayette three years running, and it's not a confident sign that he doesn't make the trip back on this gelding.
Finnegans Wake is a very consistent finisher but his damside pedigree leans a bit more toward shorter distances than the 10 and 12-furlong races he's been in lately. The 1-1/8 miles of the Fayette should "hit him between the eyes," as they say, and he'll be my choice with Willcox Inn expected to make a huge late push for the money.

Hamilton is the seat of Butler County, centrally located in southwest Ohio between two of the biggest cities in the state, Cincinnati and Dayton. Since being founded in 1791, Hamilton has strived to be a hub for innovation and award-winning neighborhoods. In 2010, the Greater Hamilton Chamber of Commerce celebrated the city's 100th anniversary.
Residents of Hamilton love the outdoors and premier recreational facilities. Coined as The City of Sculpture, Hamilton residents are lucky enough to view various art exhibits and showcases at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts and Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park. This park is proof that a community's history can live on long into modern times. The outdoor museum features monumental sculptures in a beautiful environment of forests, meadows and gardens.

Hamilton apartments for rent are suited for every personality, from artistic young professionals to families or sports enthusiasts. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 62,700 residents call Hamilton home.
Founded by European Americans in 1791, Fort Hamilton was intended to be a frontier military fort located on the Great Miami River. By the 1800s, Hamilton began to prosper as an agricultural and regional trading community. Hamilton was named in 1803 and was first incorporated in 1810 by the Ohio General Assembly. After going through several incorporations and splits with other communities, Hamilton officially became its own entity in 1867.
By the mid-19th century, the community began to prosper as a manufacturing community that produced products to coincide with machines and equipment used to process the area's agricultural industry. Today, much of the city retains its historical charm.
In Hamilton, the top industries include government, education, healthcare and retail. Butler County, Hamilton City School District, Fort Hamilton Hospital and Meijer are among the top employers of the area.
Students living in apartments in Hamilton may attend Miami University, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, Hebrew Union College or the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Miami University is recognized as an outstanding undergraduate institute. Located in nearby Oxford, Miami enrolls roughly 16,000 students each year and offers a wide variety of academic programs.
Living in Hamilton is very reasonably priced to fit any budget. According to Best Places, the overall cost of living is 8 points lower than the national average, food is 3 points lower and utilities are on par with the national standard. Similarly, the average cost of rentals in Hamilton is fairly low. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the median gross rent is $664.
Hamilton is an exciting city to live in because it has the combined benefits of two bustling metropolitan areas. The location gives residents immense opportunities for recreation, entertainment, museums, gardens and professional sports. Sports fanatics in Hamilton will enjoy the close proximity to the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals stadiums.
Kings Island is situated just a few miles east of the city and is one of the country's finest recreational and amusement parks. The Beach Waterpark spans 35 acres, includes more than 40 rides and includes 40,000 square feet of synthetic beaches. Near Dayton, residents of Hamilton are close to the National Museum of the United States Air Force, which welcomes more than 1.2 million visitors each year.

Video: 36th Annual Market Day features new farmers market read more
If you found yourself walking around Newtown today, it may have seemed like it wasn't 2012 anymore.
That's because the Newtown Historic Association hosted their 36th Annual Market Day.
This year's festivities featured a new farmer's market, in an effort to bring the market day back to its original roots when farmers brought their food to Newtown, sold their product, and later celebrated.
Watch as video reporter Amanda King talks with Newtown Historic Association board member JoAnne Nardo, who has helped with market day since the beginning.
Amanda also catches up with local rug hooking craftsman, Annie Edwards.

An admitted affair has crumbled the career of CIA Director David Petraeus, prompting the evergreen question: Why do people with so much to lose risk it all for sex?
In the last few years alone, several public figures, from former Rep. Anthony Weiner to action star and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, have admitted to straying from their marital vows. In Petraeus' case, a miscalculation of risk may have contributed to the decision to cheat, psychologists say.
"People tend to underestimate how quickly small risks mount up" because of repeated exposure to those risks, said Baruch Fischhoff, a professor of social and decision science at Carnegie Mellon University. "You do something once and you get away with it — certain things you're probably going to get away with — but you keep doing them often enough, eventually the risk gets pretty high."
Even so, men can become blind to risk at the sight of an attractive woman, and from an evolutionary perspective, cheating can be a positive mechanism for ensuring gene survival, regardless of risk, scientists say.
Military affairs
Petraeus, a retired four-star general, resigned his post as CIA Director on Friday (Nov. 9), admitting to an affair with Paula Broadwell, his biographer. Twenty years the general's junior, Broadwell had close access to Petraeus for several years, but their affair reportedly did not start until after he left the military in 2011.
A West Point graduate, Broadwell is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves. She reportedly bonded with Petraeus over physical activity, going on runs with him and remaining a close confidant after Petraeus' military career ended.
That time together likely contributed to the intimacy between Petraeus and Broadwell, said Frank Farley, a Temple University psychologist, just as many people begin affairs after getting close in the workplace.
Petraeus is not the first high-ranking military man to have an affair, said Farley, who is also a past president of the American Psychological Association. Famously gruff World War II general George Patton had an affair with his wife's step-niece. General Douglas MacArthur had a mistress named Isabel Rosario Cooper, whom he met in the Philippines.
And General Dwight D. Eisenhower, later president, may have had an affair with his World War II chauffer, Kay Summersby, according to the woman's memoirs and some suggestive letters left behind after both parties died.
"The nation should not be surprised at Petraeus having an affair," Farley told LiveScience.
Leaders like Petraeus tend to be bold risk-takers, Farley said, a personality trait that is very helpful when leading soldiers into battle. The same trait may make these leaders more likely to take risks in their personal lives, as well. [10 Easy Paths to Self Destruction]
Broadwell may have some of the same risk-taking traits as the former director. In a January interview with The Charlotte Observer, Broadwell, who is also married, called herself and her husband "adventure junkies."
Risk versus reward
Still, Petraeus' 38-year marriage and his career were at stake in his decision to pursue an affair. Extramarital liaisons are especially risky for CIA employees with access to classified information, because an affair can leave the person open to blackmail.

Check out some hot RED on RED 360 action over at redgaterentals.com
That was very cool!
very nicely done!
Pretty cool, but.... The RED battery is 140 watt hours not 156.
Thanks for the kind words. About the battery, according to the manual and the site it is 140Wh, but do the math of the amps 10.4Ah and volts 14.8v = 153.92Wh. Also our batteries all say 153Wh on them.
That is an amazing video. Great work Noah and Ben!
This is the coolest "camera tour" type video that I've seen yet...
Would be badass to post right on RED.com ;-)
I think that 遮光斗 (Matte Box) is maybe a 北方 thing... google hit counts for:
-遮光斗: 50,900
-遮光头: 909,000
Noah's, right on the Battery - some are 153 and some are 140...
His happen to be 153 ;-)
BTW, if you want to laugh type the various Matte Box names into Google Translate ~ 哈哈哈
That was nice
Nice walkthrough, very professional. Thought you might like to know as well that your "rental" page is showing up with text all mixed up in my web browser, using IE6. Not sure if it's just page load issue, but basically your text and images are all overlapping eachother, text on top of text, making it impossible to read through.
Thanks for the feedback. Our initial launch only supports Mac. We'll have the PC code in place later today.

The Effects of SB 1070 Seen Though Art Of Our Youth
Saturday, July 17th, 2010
A showcase of the visual arts created by students involved in an art program Nuestra Voz: Latino Youth Initiative Youth, Art & Activism was presented to the public yesterday. Almost 40 students participated in the art program creating paintings, photography, sculpture from recycled materials and video. This unique art explored the positive effective ways to express their feelings and commitments as they participate in improving their community. Sarah Gonzales led the arts program.
The talks and exhibition of student's work took place Friday, July 16th at the YWCA Frances McClelland Leadership Center at 525 N. Bonita Avenue. Congressman Raul Grijalva gave a very moving motivational speech to the audience of children and adults.
The presentations during the program allowed the students to talk about their artwork and what they were expressing through it. By viewing the work you could obviously see the healing needed by these unique individuals through their expression from their heart. Each creation expressed adverse effects on their lives the current pending legislation will have on them and their families.
The YWCA Tucson Racial Justice Program has received a $200,000 grant from the Kellogg Foundation to support our Latino Youth Initiative: Nuestra Voz/Our Voice. In the wake of the recent legislation dealing with immigration and the attempt by the Arizona Legislature to ban ethnic studies programs, Nuestra Voz is particularly needed and the YWCA is grateful for this very generous support.
- Student Work
Nuestra Voz will build on ten years of effective racial healing work to develop and implement a new initiative for the emerging, too often silenced, Latino youth population in an on-going effort to combat prejudice, intolerance and to work towards racial healing and youth empowerment. Nuestra Voz will:
- Develop Latino youth leadership
- Heal historical trauma through dialogue
- Promote positive cultural identity through youth initiated community racial healing projects
- Provide training for teachers/administrators to promote a positive healing experience.
Nuestra Voz/Our Voice is one of 119 awarded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to support racial equity and healing and the only grant awarded in Arizona.

At the start of the offseason for the Minnesota Vikings they had their eyes on 4 possible new D-coordinators.
Raheem Morris, Steve Spagnuolo, Mel Tucker and Mike Singletary.
As of right now, Raheem is going to Washington to coach their D-backs, Mel Tucker will remain D-coordinator in Jacksonville.
Now that leaves us with the following : Steve Spagnuolo and Mike Singletary. Amongs the NFL Steve is rumored to be going Eagles new D-coordinator.
So that leaves us with Mike Singletary as the lone candidate to take over, but there is a joker. Fred Pagac could return for a second season as the vikings D-coordinator. Mike Singletary has never been a D-coordinator in the NFL and people inside the vikings organisation didn't have many positive things to say about Mike this year.
Vikings have to coach at the senior bowl in 8-10 days, so they have to make their decision on who they want as their D-coordinator of 2012 very soon.
Also other changes on the vikings coaching staff will have to made soon.
- I think i would prefer Pagac instead of Mike singletary as he seems that he just doesn't care. the ideal situation would be to land Steve, but chances for that are very slim.
How this will unfold will be interesting to follow.

A way to do good food justice is to eat it while its hot!

Posted on October 17, 2011 with 16 notes
Ladies and gentlemen, here we have it. The Ramly Burger patties served up by the (in)famous OM burger stall in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. We were looking for the sloppiest and greasiest Ramly we could find and I think we got more than what we bargained for.
Ramly Burger patties have been around for quite some time already and is a popular street burger that is quite customizable depending on the vendor selling it. These stalls are usually make shift hawker carts that occupy an empty car parking lot in the open. While the burgers are actually quite nice, it really comes down to the street appeal that makes this such an attractive fast food option.
This one's so awesome it needs a double post - next post being a video of how it happened. Well, sometimes videos speak louder than words. Thanks Jamie for bringing us there!

Ensuring a rational coexistence of human activities in coastal and maritime areas is an important aspect for sustainable blue growth. Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Maritime Spatial Planning are important tools which aim to facilitate such coexistence. In this instance, coastal Regions are naturally front-line players.
The question of the relevance and boundaries of any new European action was recently raised. Proposals are expected from the European Commission.
The CPMR is continuing to consider the issues and it has emphasised, in current discussions, that it would be interested in a European initiative which would look at both the MSP and the ICZM, while leaving Member States and Regions room to establish links between these two areas. The aim of such an initiative would be to continue stimulating the action of Member States and Regions and to provide transnational coordination for their activities. The primordial role played in this respect by the Regions makes it necessary to involve them closely in any European initiatives, including those financed by the EMFF.

One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of August 20, 2007 Recaps
A mysterious visitor heard from the motel manager that Asa had died two days earlier. As the visitor was reading Asa's obituary, he opened
the bio to a photo of Jessica and Natalie and said he'd be seeing them soon.
Nora checked in with Bo to see how he was doing. "I can't believe he's gone," he said about losing his father. Nora reminded him to take a few days off from work if necessary.
Talia couldn't help smiling when Antonio returned to work at the police station. Antonio knocked on Bo's door, offered his condolences and said he
needed to be back at work. "I need your help," a delighted Bo said. Bo handed Antonio a stack of files. The conversation soon moved to the topic of Bo's niece (Antonio's ex-wife, Jessica). Bo reminded Antonio that he would slowly recover from the breakup. "We'll see," replied Antonio. Talia told Bo and Antonio that Miles' upcoming hearing was drawing a lot of press. Bo told Talia and Antonio that they'd be working together on the job. Talia was thrilled but covered her excitement. Antonio asked about George, Talia's "boyfriend" (actually her made-up boyfriend). A flustered Talia reported he was fine.
Natalie pretended to enjoy Miles' breakfast. She assured Miles she'd be in the courtroom today during his hearing. "What makes you so sure I'm not guilty?" Miles asked. "You have a good heart," she replied. Michael dropped by Viki's but wanted to see Nat. He asked her if she still had any pull with John. Natalie said she didn't and asked why he needed her help; she thought Michael and John were quite close these days. Michael chose not to
go into any details.
Blair was embarrassed when Todd overheard her conversation with Max,
specifically the detail that they had kissed. Todd and Max began arguing. Max told Todd he had asked Blair to come back with him. Todd pretended not to care, but did. Blair asked Todd, "When are you ever going to get over this?" ("This" being Todd's rivalry with Max.) Blair admitted that the thought of starting over was tempting, but added that she didn't really want to go. Max interrupted and asked, "Is the tantrum over?" He said goodbye to Blair and offered her the view from his veranda in Argentina anytime. Max kissed her farewell and assured Todd that Blair
considered Todd the love of her life. "I can't believe he said that," Blair marveled. Blair and Todd's argument was interrupted when Miles was
escorted into the courtroom. Natalie arrived and began
arguing with her Uncle Todd. Nat sat by Miles, who was delighted to see her. Miles admitted to being a little nervous. Blair and Todd retired to the courtroom. Todd began screaming when Miles was found not guilty of the
attempted murder of Todd Manning. Miles looked at
Todd. "What you looking at, tuna face?" Todd spat. Much to the courtroom's shock, Miles then pled guilty to all the
other charges.
Marcie thought it was hysterical that John thought she might have killed
Spencer. She didn't know why John was still looking for the killer since Marty Saybrooke had confessed. Lindsay interrupted their breakfast at the diner. Michael left the gals. Marcie told Lindsay that Lindsay had just been named
2007 Woman of the Year. Lindsay dropped her fork. Marcie said Jen would be so proud of her. Lindsay kept hinting that she had done
something that perhaps people wouldn't be proud off. Marcie assured her that Lindsay was as much of her family as her blood relatives were. John
overheard Lindsay tell Marcie that nothing or no one should take Tommy away from her.
John woke up Marty, who was dozing off in her cell. He told her he figured out who killed Truman "and it wasn't you." John
explained for the umpteenth time that Marty didn't remember any details about actually stabbing Truman. He promised that he'd get her out of this. "No matter what I have to do," he assured a doubtful Marty. John offered to walk Marty to the courtroom to keep the press at bay.
Jessica told a surprised Nash that she was heading to London to spend some time with her family. "I just need a little space. Can you give me that?"
she asked. Nash reminded her that they hadn't even had a real honeymoon, not
counting the faux Niagara Falls he had created in her hospital room. Nash agreed to give her space, but "tell me why you need it," he said.
Jessica explained that Llanview was feeling a little too small and that everyone knew she had cheated on Antonio. Nash and Jessica made love before she left for her vacation.
Marty was stunned to learn that Miles had pled guilty to the lesser charges.
Miles' lawyer equally as surprised. "This is my decision," a very serious
Miles told his lawyer. And as if on cue, Todd began a courtroom scene but
was soon quieted down by the judge. Miles freely admitted stealing a tape
from Marty's psychiatrist which he used to blackmail her into marrying him. "I'm ready to accept any punishment this court deems appropriate," Miles said.
Marty and Todd both asked Miles why he changed his plea to guilty. "It was
the right thing to do," Miles said. Todd began to antagonize Miles. "One way
or another, you are going to pay for what you did to me," Todd threatened.
Miles' lawyer scurried him away. Todd and Blair were ready to leave, but
Blair had something to say to Marty first. Blair thanked Marty for killing
Spencer "and saving my life." But Blair wondered why Marty hadn't stayed
with her. "I don't remember," Marty said.
Lindsay told John that Marcie was off limits and demanded he stay away from
her. She asked John if Michael and Marcie hadn't been through enough
"without you raking them over the coals." Marcie told Bo, Clint and Dorian
that Lindsay had been named Woman of the Year. "I can't believe it!" Dorian
snapped. "I've been overlooked again." Bo, on the other hand, was delighted
for Lindsay. Lindsay just looked embarrassed.
At the hospital, Michael asked John why he was still digging around the Truman case and begged him to please give it up and promise to keep the secret of Tommy's identity a secret. John couldn't make that promise. Michael thought that had their father been alive, he would have done anything to make sure Tommy would stay a McBain. "Last thing I want to do, Mike, is tear your family apart," John said. "Then don't," Michael begged.
John thought there was no way the truth wouldn't eventually come out. Michael disagreed. "Nobody I trust would want to destroy that [the bond between Michael and Tommy]," Michael told his brother. "I will do anything for them, anything," Michael added, "and accept that my wife Marcie had nothing to do with Spencer's murder." John wasn't so sure.
Clint was harassed by a reporter, who was asking about the fall of Buchanan stock. Fortunately Dorian scared the reporter away and took Clint to lunch at the diner.
At the gym, Adriana and Layla couldn't take their eyes off of the new guy.
Later we saw him make a phone call. "I think I know how to get in with the Buchanan girl," he said to whomever was on the other side of the phone. In the steam room, Vincent, Rex and Nash talked about Nash's financial problems. Vincent didn't have any money to loan him at the moment, but Rex had an idea, one that involved an element of risk. Rex
explained that Roxy is hosting an invitation-only poker game at Foxy Roxys. Rex assured Nash that there would be high rollers present. The "new guy"
also happened to be in the steam room, carefully listening to every word.
Nash was interested in the poker game.
Natalie arrived in her office at Buchanan Enterprises. Her assistant knocked on her door and said there was a Jared Banks to see her. Enter the "new guy" who announced, "I am the answer to your prayers."
Lindsay learned that Nora was going to present her with the Woman of the
Year award. Nora couldn't believe Lindsay was the honoree until Bo told her that Dorian wasn't joking. "Lindsay is Llanview's Woman of the Year," Marcie
assured when she volunteered to help Nora write the speech. Bo, Marcie, Dorian and Clint rattled off all the great things Lindsay had done to deserve
the honor. Nora wasn't convinced. Marcie got very defensive of her friend
and reminded Nora that all Lindsay has are memories of Jen, while Nora goes
home to see Matthew every night. Nora asked Marcie why Lindsay was so
special to her. Marcie explained that Lindsay has always been there for her.
"I don't know what I'd do without her," she said. Nora asked Bo, "Now what I am supposed to do?" Bo suggested Nora look into her own heart and tried to convince her to get past any bad blood between them. Later, at the award ceremony, Marcie asked Lindsay why she looked so
preoccupied and why she was reading an article on Marty's upcoming trial.
Lindsay only said that no one should be punished for killing Spencer Truman.
Natalie met Jared Banks, who said he was a big fan of her grandfather's. He offered that he was the answer to Nat's prayers. Natalie wasn't impressed and soon cut him down to size. Jared pointed out that Buchanan Enterprises had lost five stock points each day since Asa's death. He said the only way out of this dilemma would be if she hired him. Natalie looked askance at that
suggestion. Jared rattled off a bunch of issues B.E. could use his help with. Natalie shot holes through Jared's resume. Jared looked uncomfortable,
to say the least. "How much of this is bologna? I wouldn't hire you to
bring me lunch," Natalie scoffed. Jared reminded Natalie that Asa "was a liar
and a cheat and that's how he built this empire," then he left Natalie's office.
Clint popped in to see his daughter and retired to his own office. Natalie
shredded Jared's resume.
Nash begged Roxy to let him into her poker game. Roxy reminded him that it
was a high stakes game. Rex tried to convince his mom that Nash was a legit
contender. "You do not want to mess with these people," she warned Nash and
added that she wasn't getting a serious vibe from Nash. Nash explained that
he didn't want to lose the vineyard. Nash left to get the money he needed to
enter. Rex and Roxy bantered and ate junk food. Lindsay arrived at the
beauty parlor for some quick glamorizing. Roxy serviced Lindsay on the house when Nash showed up with his cash. Nash was ready to play when there was a knock at the door. "Hey, who the hell are you?" Roxy asked as Jared breezed past her.
On his rooftop with a beer, John tried to figure out who really killed
Spencer by talking about the case out loud. His conversation ended when
Spencer Truman himself showed up. John tried to ignore Spencer's annoying
comments, but soon began a conversation with the dead man. Spencer claimed
that John's determination to solve the crime wasn't about "me, it's about
pretty little Marty Saybrooke. You've found another damsel in distress," he
teased. Spencer offered an explanation on how and why Marcie might have
killed him. John wasn't convinced.
Sarah and Cristian ran into each other at Serenity Springs. Cris helped her go through some weightlifting reps. Cris told Sarah that Asa had called her
"a piece of work," quickly explaining that that was a good thing. Sarah added
that she thought Asa "got me the way other people didn't." She thanked
Cris for the workout pointers. Cris asked her out for a bite to eat. Sarah happily obliged. Sarah and Cris arrived at the diner and ran to into Clint and Dorian. Tense moments followed. Clint asked about Sarah's last conversation with Cord. Sarah told Cris she felt awful about not having seen Asa before he died.
Much of Llanview turned out for the Woman of the Year banquet honoring
Lindsay. Rex and Michael decided that the longer John keeps the secret the
better it is for Michael and Marcie's future with Tommy. Rex listened
intently as Bo told him about the past disasters that had befallen the
winner of the Woman of the Year. Lindsay got more and more concerned and
worried about how Nora would be introducing her. Dorian asked Nora to go
easy on Lindsay. Nora countered by recalling that Dorian had really
wanted that award. Marcie welcomed the audience with warm and loving
words about Lindsay, who she considers part of her family. Michael looked
queasy when Marcie mentioned Tommy. Bo assured Lindsay not to worry about what Nora might say. Nora said she wrote a speech for tonight but decided to rip up her notes and speak extemporaneously. A look of worry crossed the faces of Lindsay and everyone else in the audience. Nora recounted the lowlights of her relationship with Lindsay. (This was made ever more delicious by the wonderful use of flashbacks.)
Starr quizzed her mother on why she and Todd couldn't be together. Blair had
some questions of her own for Starr. Cole came by and told Starr he hadn't
been sleeping well because he was worried about his mom. Blair said she felt for Marty even though they had their differences. Todd called and was going to pick Blair up for the Woman of the Year event.
At Roxy's, the high stakes poker came began. Eventually it was just Nash and
Jared going head-to-head over the chips. Nash got suspicious when Jared began quizzing him about his life and wife. Nash realized that Jared knew about Jessica and this poker game because he had been in the steam room with the guys. Jared upped the stakes when he suggested they go double or nothing and threw his ring into the pot, which intrigued both Nash and Roxy.
An unruly prisoner got roughed up outside of Marty's cell. This altercation trigged a flashback for Marty of the night of Spencer's murder. She remembered Spencer fighting with her and knocking her head against the
window. She then recalled Spencer throwing her in the bottom bunk in the
resident's room. "I didn't kill him, did I?" Marty said looking John directly in the eye. John had a hunch he knew exactly who murdered Spencer, but needed some more of Marty's help. He pressed her for details. Marty remembered who murdered Spencer — Lindsay! — just as Ms. Rappaport accepted the Woman of the Year award.
Jared beat Nash with a hand of four ladies. Nash got up. "I've just lost every penny to my name," he fumed as he stormed into the other room. Roxy suggested Nash go to Antonio for more time on the loan. "Oh, I forgot you stole his wife away," she laughed. "I'm screwed. What do I do now?" asked Nash. Roxy offered Nash some money, but "I don't take money from beautiful blondes," he said. Jared apologized for winning and offered Nash a chance to win his money back. Nash wasn't interested. Jared left and made a call to Antonio and asked about the "vineyard you have to unload."
Miles kept hinting to Natalie that he might be able to help Todd find his son, but never actually said it in so many words. "I just don't like that he's out there hating me," Miles said earnestly.
Starr gave Cole the 411 on the whole Todd/Margaret Cochran/Blair debacle. Cole thought it was very odd, but reminded Starr he loved her, not her father. Starr wondered if John was interested in Marty. Cole got a call from his mom with news that their nightmare was almost over. "We're going to be all right," she said. Cole and Starr hugged happily.
Marty had a clear memory of seeing Lindsay stumble out of Blair's hospital room the night Spencer was murdered. "What reason would she have to murder him?" Marty asked. John said Marty didn't have to worry about the "why." That was his job. She couldn't believe she finally remembered. "You'll be back with Cole in no time," John assured her. Marty was so grateful to him. "You believed in me even when I didn't," she marveled. "What happens now?" John replied, "Now I have to go arrest Lindsay for murder." Marty reminded him that the Woman of the Year banquet was one of the most important events of the year. John said he'd do the arrest quietly.
Lindsay was moved to tears when Nora presented her with the Woman of the Year award. "Never in a million years did I think I'd be standing up here," Lindsay admitted to the full house. She graciously accepted the award and went on to explain how the death of her daughter Jen had motivated her to start working on behalf of less fortunate mothers. "I'm just a mother who mourns the loss of a her daughter every day," she said holding back the tears. Lindsay added that she would do anything, anything, to keep a mother from losing her child. She rattled off a few crimes — including murder — and then said, "I've already done that." Lindsay began sobbing. Bo started the applause to take the focus off of Lindsay. Rex looked confused and Michael muttered to himself: "What's going on?" Marcie helped a distraught Lindsay back to her seat. "I did an awful thing, and I'd do it again for you," Lindsay sobbed to her friend. "What, what did you do?" Marcie asked. Bo offered to take Lindsay home, but she said she was fine. "I can do this," she insisted. Lindsay returned to the podium and apologized for her meltdown. She said that like Jen, Marcie was such a sweet person. "Like a daughter to me," she said. Lindsay went on to say that Marcie was the most wonderful mother and that no mother should have to give up her child. A worried Michael started looking for Rex and instead he saw John in the back of the room. "What are you doing here?" he asked. Todd looked at Blair. "Showtime," Todd said with glee. Michael was convinced John was coming to arrest Marcie. John tried to tell him otherwise. "You are not taking my wife to jail," Michael yelled so everyone, including Lindsay, could hear. John told Bo he was there to make an arrest. Michael became frantic and was unable to hear what John was subtly trying to tell him. Marcie butt in to the conversation and told them she was not going to let them ruin the evening for Lindsay. "Marcie, he's not here to arrest you," Lindsay said from the podium. Marcie continued to explain to the audience that John thought she had murdered Spencer. A poised Lindsay stated clearly from the podium, "John didn't come here to arrest Marcie for the murder of Spencer Truman. He came to arrest me."

9 wk old puppy aggression or ne being ridiculous?
Hi everyone new pup bloomin gorgeous,
I understand pups and had many breeds from big slobbery mastifs to t-cup Chihuahua. I am although new to German shepherds but the breed has been an interest of mine and hubbys for years. So anyways my pup just turned 9wks and he is 'going for' my cat, at first he was scared of the cat, although the cat shows no aggressive behavior towards him and even tries to sleep by him. Now this is no problem as cat basically lives on my bed and outside. Buuut I have introduced him to a few dogs and no matter the size he's running at them and barking and also making a horrid squeal/growl he is biting them and it deffo does not look playful at all .. we have just left him to see what he dies but he will not give up even on a well trained Labrador thst will just stand there and take it.:( He won't play with toys at all. We can not stroke or play with him without him biting all up our arms etc I understand this with pups but I don't get why he won't take any interest with any sort of toy, iv tried everything. It's not like teething biting either its like he's fully biting us.not just chewing on us lol. I love him to bits and I am looking for obedience classes for him to mix with other dogs I just need to know wether I'm being ridiculously silly or do you think he may have some issues that will need sorting with extra help? Any tips hints and advice is muchly appreciated :) Thankyou, Katie! :) |
First,did you read the Sticky in this section?
http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...nhibition.html I had a puppy just like yours, so did many others. Bloody scratched up arms, nope, not fun. Also, you dog does not need to learn to mix with other dogs. For now, you need to keep him from pestering older dogs. He will get better. Well, mine did. |
Your pup is acting like a normal gsd pup. My Sting would have had the cat for lunch when he first met her when he was 8 weeks old if I hadn't taught him otherwise :) There are tons of tips and advice in the Puppy Place forum - so I suggest you start there.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou, as long as I know its not him personally I'm at rest lol
I just wish I could sit and cuddle him or stroke him but he hurts! Printing off all articals for me and hubby as we speak :) |

Marshfield Town Meeting is being asked to approve nearly $1 million this month for new playing fields, a dearth of which has forced Marshfield Youth Soccer to rent space from Duxbury to accommodate its growing numbers.
Existing fields at Marshfield High School, deemed a disgrace by the president of the youth soccer club, will be rebuilt as the town reconstructs its high school campus over the next few years. But supporters say the town needs additional fields to accommodate some 1,200 soccer players and a growing lacrosse program.
If Town Meeting approves the $985,000 appropriation, money from the Community Preservation Fund would be used to build multipurpose fields for soccer and lacrosse, plus baseball and softball diamonds. The fields would be built on town-owned land off Rockwood Road, near the new Boys and Girls Club.
Marshfield Youth Soccer president Kevin Cantwell has said that other towns laugh at Marshfield's existing facilities.
In an interview Friday, Duxbury Youth Soccer Association president Greg Chandler agreed that conditions are bad in Marshfield. The grass is sparse, the fields seem a little undersized, and they are not entirely flat, he said. Excess use makes grass difficult to maintain.
According to Chandler, one field has a drain near the edge that referees cover with carpet to protect people from getting hurt. "There are a number of issues that they have now,'' he said.
The proposal to use community preservation money for new fields has garnered broad support, even from a candidate for local office who says he wants to repeal the Community Preservation Act. Under the act, communities add a surcharge to property taxes and use the money to preserve open space and fund other projects that meet criteria of the law.


text: Home Culture Why Kendrick Lamar Is a Sensitive Rapper The lyrical rapper, like his current rival Drake, also shows his emotional side at the BET Hip Hop Awards. By: Joycelyn A. Wilson Posted: Oct. 16 2013 12:56 AM 0 Kendrick Lamar (Hutton Supancic/Getty Images); Drake (Christie Goodwin/Getty Images) (The Root) -- While the federal government hangs by the hair of its chinny chin chin, hip-hop MC Kendrick Lamar is playing the big, bad wolf, challenging rappers during Tuesday night's broadcast of the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards cypher to step up their art and performance in respect for the culture's battle tradition. Surrounded by his Top Dawg Entertainment brethren, Lamar, through the cords of his signature old-man voice, freestyled over an instrumental of Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones." He raps, "And nothing's been the same since they dropped 'Control'/And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes." Word on the Internet has Drake marked as Kendrick Lamar's targeted victim. Perhaps. Drake has an album titled Nothing Was the Same, and Lamar starts his verse with a subtle reference to it. Drake has been taunted as the sappy singer-rapper, and Lamar appears to take a jab, calling him a "sensitive rapper." Assuming that Lamar, who is No. 1 in my 2013 AP Class of MCs, is addressing Drake, my No. 2, I don't believe the Compton, Calif.-raised rapper is arbitrarily throwing darts at Drake or any other rapper, for that matter. Seen from this perspective, the verse is another installment of Lamar's mission to lyrically demolish his competition for no reason other than to ensure his legacy among hip-hop's greatest mic controllers. And to do so, he appears to call Drake "sensitive" because all has to be fair in hip-hop love and war -- even though Lamar presents dark reflections of his sensitivities on the platinum-selling album Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, released in October 2012. To make this point, I have listed my top five most insightful -- and dare I say "sensitive" -- excerpts from the Dr. Dre protégé. 1. "Money Trees" "It goes Halle Berry or Hallelujah/Pick ya poison/Tell me what you doin/Everybody gon' respect the shooter/But the one in front of the gun lives forever/And I been hustlin' all day/Thisa way/Thata way/Through canals and alleyways/Just to say/Money trees is the perfect place for shade/[And] that's just how I feel ... Be the last one out to get this dough? No way!" The strings in the song and the ladies singing on the chorus remind me of Outkast's "Rosa Parks." Can we get a remix with André 3000 and Big Boi? 2. "Poetic Justice" "If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?/I mean you need to hear this/Love is not just a verb/It's you looking in the mirror/Love is not just a verb/It's you looking poor maybe/Call me crazy/We can both be insane/A fatal attraction is common/And what we have common is pain ... " Drake is on this Janet Jackson-inspired, "Any Time, Any Place"-sampled rap ballad. Need I say more? Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Among the gifts of the Jews, to use Thomas Cahill's flattering phrase, perhaps none is more stirring and enduring than the biblical call to social justice.

- Ease of use
- After sales service
- Value for money
Leica BOND-III, the fully automated IHC and ISH stainer that delivers what really matters: speed, efficiency and quality.
- Leica BOND-III is up to 50% faster than previous generation stainers
- Requires virtually no daily maintenance
- Class-leading quality with superior Bond reagents and proven Covertile™ technology.
With speed, efficiency and quality Leica BOND-III helps laboratories deliver what really matters: better patient care.
Ronald Houston Status: See all reviews Member since 2012 Organization: Nationwide Children's Hospital Read more » | 4.7 RATING:
"The Bond III IHC system is by far the best automated platform on the market for clinical immunohistochemsitry and in-situ hybridization. Its openness, ease of use, consistency of high quality stains and both excellent sales and service support put it well above any other offerings. It is also fully supported by the Novocastra range of antibodies (as well as any other vendor antibody) and the polymer detection kit all adding to make it number 1. One failing in the past of Leica (and indeed most of its competitors) was that they tended to develop as they thought the customer would want. However, with the introduction of the "Voice of the Customer" approach, they are now listening to the customer's needs and following up with specific requests. There are many exciting new developments coming up in the near future. For those in the research market, the Bond Rx will fill the same needs as the Bond III does for the clinical market." |

At the thrift store this weekend, I picked up a copy of a book from 1919 called Hygiene And Health, written by Indiana college professors Charles P. Emerson and George Herbert Betts. The book is aimed at elementary school kids, so we are not quite the intended audience. Nonetheless, I think you all might enjoy some pearls of health wisdom from 1919. Click through for how often to eat each of the great groups of food (that would be "milk, eggs, cereal grains, vegetables, fruits, meats, sweets and pure water," obviously); why our food should be "palatable" and our meal times "cheerful;" bad habits to avoid with your hair; and why to avoid iced drinks at soda fountains between meals.

Careful planning is the name of the game these days for people considering law school. The overall percentage of new grads employed has fallen every year since 2007, with just under two thirds of the class of 2011 finding jobs that require bar passage, according to NALP—the Association for Legal Career Professionals.
Fewer than half of those jobs were at law firms, and far more graduates than in past years found positions in smaller or mid-size offices instead of large firms, which often offer higher pay. Overall, the median starting salary for 2011 grads working full time fell to $60,000, down about 5 percent from a year earlier. Starting pay at law firms fell even further—to $85,000 from $104,000.
Given the sobering numbers, experts say that you should begin your law school search by getting a genuine sense of what lawyers do and a clear idea of what you hope to accomplish with a law degree. To help prospective applicants navigate the rest of the process, U.S. News pitched six key questions to several dozen professors, attorneys, and law students.
[Find tips and advice for applying to law school.]
1. Will it be easier to get in this year? Earning admission is still a competitive process that hinges on an applicant's credentials, including LSAT score.
But over the past two years, the number of law school applicants is down more than 22 percent, according to preliminary data from the nonprofit Law School Admission Council. And early data for fall 2013 suggests the numbers could fall another fifth this year alone.
Roughly half of law schools have reduced their incoming class sizes for fall 2013, according to a November 2012 Kaplan Test Prep survey. Still, "for most students, it should be much easier to get in to the law school of their choice than in any year in recent memory," says Frank Wu, chancellor and dean of the University of California Hastings College of the Law.
Fewer applicants overall means that those with lower credentials might have a better shot at getting in at a reach school. "Schools will be dipping much deeper into the pool than they would have in the past," says Brian Tamanaha, professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis School of Law and author of Failing Law Schools.
Financial aid packages could get better, too. Forty-seven percent of law schools increased aid to students for 2012-2013, according to the Kaplan survey.

2. Should you work first? The verdict, from admissions counselors and hiring partners: Work experience can only help. The job doesn't have to be in the legal field to impress admissions, though working as a paralegal or volunteering for a legal nonprofit can give prospective students a reality check.
Recruiters, too, tend to look favorably upon a substantial résumé. "Firms like that because they're seeing people ... who are ready to hit the ground running from day one," says Richard Batchelder, a partner who leads hiring at Ropes & Gray. About two thirds of the firm's most recent summer associate classes have taken some time off to work before law school, he says.
3. What should you look for in the curriculum? Partners and other people who hire new attorneys are demanding hands-on experience—grads who not only know the principles of corporate law, but who have actually done project work for local small business owners, for instance.

About FIRE
- What is FIRE?
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, is a nonprofit educational foundation based in Philadelphia. FIRE's mission is to defend and sustain individual rights at America's colleges and universities. These rights include freedom of speech, legal equality, due process, religious liberty, and sanctity of conscience—the essential qualities of individual liberty and dignity. FIRE protects the unprotected and educates the public about the threats to these rights on our campuses and about the means to preserve them. - How do I join FIRE?
FIRE is not a membership organization. However, you can join the fight for liberty on America's college campuses by signing up for our e-mail list so that you may receive the latest news and updates on cases happening around the country. - How can I contribute to FIRE?
FIRE offers its donors many different options for donating including the option to give right now through our secure online donation form. To learn about all the ways you can contribute, see our Ways to Donate page. - I care about the issues. What can I do?
FIRE encourages you to Take Action in cases that you feel passionately about. On our website, we have given students, faculty, every-day citizens, and lawyers examples of ways they can help create change on college campuses. From hosting FIRE speakers, to posting widgets on your website, to writing to university administrators, there is a lot you can do to help the fight for liberty. - I feel my rights were violated, who can help?
FIRE may be able to help you if your case fits within our mission. Please submit your case to FIRE at thefire.org/cases/submit. - Who works at FIRE?
FIRE employs a diverse staff from across the ideological and political spectrum with varying educational backgrounds. For more information about individual members of FIRE's staff please check out the biographies on the Staff webpage. - What is FIRE's political affiliation?
FIRE is nonpartisan; its staff, Board of Directors, and Board of Advisors comprise individuals from across the political spectrum. - How does FIRE pick its cases?
FIRE responds to all case submissions. We only take cases, however, that fall within FIRE's mission and programs. FIRE has limited resources and receives a remarkable number of requests for help. We are, therefore, unable to take many cases that touch upon important issues. FIRE does not adjudicate genuine questions of academic merit, which sometimes arise during tenure reviews and grading of student work. FIRE also does not take cases that are from the staff of colleges or universities, involve elementary or high schools, are from outside the United States, or are submitted by phone or fax. - Does FIRE litigate?
Since its incorporation as a nonprofit organization in 1999, FIRE has intervened successfully in defense of liberty-related issues on behalf of hundreds of students and faculty members at colleges and universities across the country. While many of the cases we accept can be resolved quickly and amicably by FIRE's staff, other cases require the intervention of an attorney. Because FIRE is not a law firm and does not undertake direct litigation, these cases must be referred to FIRE's Legal Network, a nationwide team of outside attorneys who share our principles, values and goals. - What are FIRE's Guides to Student Rights on Campus?
FIRE's Guides to Student Rights on Campus is a set of innovative, widely respected, and well-received handbooks that serve as a vehicle for changing the culture on college and university campuses. They do so by emphasizing the critical importance of legal equality over the selective assignment of rights and responsibilities, of self-governance over coercion, and of the rule of law and fair procedure over the ad hoc and arbitrary imposition of partisan and repressive rules.
A distinguished group of legal scholars from across the political and ideological spectrum serves as Board of Editors to this series. The diversity of the members of this Board proves that liberty on campus is not a question of partisan politics, but of the rights and responsibilities of free individuals in a society governed by the rule of law.
FIRE's Guides to Student Rights on Campus include:- FIRE's Guide to Free Speech on Campus,
- FIRE's Guide to Religious Liberty on Campus,
- FIRE's Guide to Due Process and Fair Procedure on Campus,
- FIRE's Guide to Student Fees, Funding, and Legal Equality on Campus,
- FIRE's Guide to First-Year Orientation and Thought Reform on Campus.
- Where can I find out about jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities at FIRE?
All job openings for full-time and part-time positions are posted under the "About" section of the website, on other employment websites, and in some publications. Job postings on this website will be the most up-to-date.
FIRE participates in the Drexel Co-op program by hiring one paid, full-time co-op student each co-op cycle. Interested Drexel students should look for the job posting on the Drexel Co-op website and apply using that system. This position is limited to only current, qualifying students at Drexel University.
Students interested in internship opportunities at FIRE should check out the Summer Internship Program webpage for more information or contact the Internship Coordinator if interested in an internship during the academic year. - Where do I sign up to join the mailing list?
You can join FIRE's e-mail list here. - What is the Campus Freedom Network?
Campus Freedom Network (CFN) is a loosely-knit coalition of over 3,000 faculty members and students dedicated to advancing individual rights at their colleges and universities. This program advances FIRE's mission by providing resources and educational opportunities to students and faculty engaged in the fight for individual rights on campus. The goal is to encourage energetic students and faculty members to pressure their administrations to change illiberal and unconstitutional policies. To facilitate this activity, the CFN arranges speeches by FIRE speakers, rewards active students through an incentive program, organizes an annual FIRE summer conference, and bolsters FIRE's programs with grassroots support. By organizing students and faculty, the CFN strives to change the culture of censorship on college campuses from the inside. - Who can I speak to regarding a certain case?
All media requests can be e-mailed to email@example.com or you can contact a FIRE representative by calling 215-717-3473. If you are involved in a certain case, contact Peter Bonilla at email@example.com. - Where can I buy The Shadow University or Unlearning Liberty?

FIRE Issues
- What is the First Amendment?
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress from making laws "respecting an establishment of religion" or that prohibit the free exercise of religion, infringe the freedom of speech, infringe the freedom of the press, limit the right to peaceably assemble, or limit the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. - Who does FIRE defend?
FIRE effectively and decisively defends American liberties on behalf of thousands of students and faculty on our nation's campuses. In case after case, FIRE brings about favorable resolutions for these individuals who continue to be challenged by those willing to deny fundamental rights and liberties within our institutions of higher education. In addition to individual case work, FIRE works nationally to inform the public about the fate of liberty on our campuses. - What does free speech encompass?
Freedom of speech is a fundamental American freedom, and nowhere should it be more valued and protected than at America's colleges and universities. The "marketplace of ideas" upon which a university depends for its intellectual vitality cannot flourish when students or faculty members must fear punishment for expressing views that might be unpopular with the public at large or disfavored by university administrators. Yet this freedom is under continuous assault at many of America's campuses. Speech codes dictating what may or may not be said, "free speech zones" confining free speech to certain areas of campus, and administrative attempts to punish or repress speech on a case-by-case basis are common today in academia. - What is religious liberty?
Religious liberty is a cornerstone of our nation and is the very first freedom guaranteed to Americans by the Bill of Rights. Yet on many college and university campuses, the right to associate on the basis of religious belief and even the right to express those beliefs is under attack. Under the guise of "nondiscrimination" policies, religious groups are often told that they may not choose the membership or leadership of their groups using religious criteria. Other students who merely express religious beliefs in public are condemned for "hate speech" or "intolerance." FIRE's public cases dealing with religious liberty display our commitment to defending America's religious pluralism by protecting students' rights to express their views and to associate around shared beliefs. - What is due process?
The rights of all Americans can be secured only through the establishment of fair processes and with a consciousness that all are equal in the eyes of the law. Yet on many campuses, the unfortunate accused face "kangaroo courts" without fair procedures, in which the political viewpoint of the "judges" greatly affects the outcomes of trials. The accused are often charged with no specific offense, given no right to face their accusers, and sentenced with no regard for fairness or consistency. This generation of students must come to know that justice means more than merely the enforcement of the will of the powerful and the suppression of the views of the powerless. - What is freedom of conscience?
Liberty cannot exist in a society in which people are forced to conform their thoughts and expression to an official viewpoint. Differences of opinion are the natural byproducts of a vibrant, free society. At many of our nation's colleges and universities, however, students are expected to share a single viewpoint on controversial matters like the meaning of diversity, the particulars of racism, and the impermissibility of "hate speech." Mandatory "diversity training," in which students are instructed in an officially-approved ideology, is commonplace. Some institutions have enacted policies that require students to speak and even share identical attitudes on these matters or face disciplinary charges.
