This chapter describes how the civil rights movement inspired several groups to express their own ideals and protest for expanded rights during the 1960s and 1970s.
Section 1 discusses the student protest movement of the 1960s and the emergence of the counterculture. In the 1960s college students throughout the country began rejecting traditional values, political structures, and social norms. As they became increasingly active in social causes, these young radical activists protested the Vietnam War, poverty, campus regulations, and racism. A New Left emerged, and student groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) gained national attention. Students in the Free Speech Movement not only demanded and won the right to hold political activities, they also established a model for other college demonstrators. While the student movement sought to change traditional society, the counterculture chose to simply leave it behind. The hippies rejected materialism, promoted personal freedom, and embraced spirituality. Ironically, the counterculture influenced many changes in the food, clothing, music, and art of the mainstream society they had rejected.
Section 2 describes how women organized to gain greater rights and opportunities during the 1960s and 1970s. The early 1960s saw the women's movement reawaken and gain focus as more women entered the workforce. New feminist networks and strong leaders helped influence Congress to include women in the 1964 Civil Rights Act�the decisive legal basis for advances made in the women's movement. New organizations, such as the National Organization for Women (NOW) formed to demand equal pay, expanded employment opportunities, greater educational opportunities, and representation in government. In 1972 feminists won a significant victory with the passage of a law that prohibited gender discrimination in education. While the women's movement brought about profound changes in society, some issues created strong opposition. A Supreme Court ruling on abortion sparked an impassioned debate that continues today, while a constitutional amendment guaranteeing equality failed to win ratification.
Section 3 explains how the 1960s and 1970s saw minority groups develop new ways to improve their status. With reawakened pride in their cultural heritage, minority groups organized to fight discrimination and exploitation. Civil rights leaders hoped new policies�such as affirmative action�would help improve the social and economic status of minorities and disadvantaged groups. During the 1960s and 1970s, new political leaders, such as Jesse Jackson, helped rally minorities for political change, while new organizations formed to protest unfair policies. In 1965 Hispanic American farmworkers organized a grape boycott that gained national attention. As Hispanic Americans became more politically active, they lobbied for better working conditions, job training, and bilingualism. Native Americans chose self-determination over assimilation. While some Native Americans formed militant groups to fight unemployment, police brutality, and poverty, others used the courts to win claims to ancestral lands.
Section 4 discusses how environmental and consumer issues came into national focus. Beginning in the 1970s, grassroots efforts started an environmental movement to protect the environment and promote conservation of natural resources. The movement influenced the government to establish the Environmental Protection Agency and to enact a series of environmental protection laws. Consumer protection was the goal of the consumer movement. During the early 1960s, a young lawyer named Ralph Nader charged that automobile manufacturers compromised consumer safety. He not only succeeded in winning mandatory safety standards for cars, but he also spurred a national consumer protection movement that expanded regulations for numerous other consumer goods.

Loyola University New Orleans The Maroon FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 20 MAROON.LOYNO.EDU VOL. 79, NO. 03 Bomb threat prompts evacuation By Nick Boeglin Staff writer In the middle of everything that happened nationally on Tuesday, Loyola suffered a smaller scare of its own. According to Jim Eiseman, vice president for Student Affairs, someone called in a bomb threat to the school Tuesday afternoon. Eiseman said that someone called the Admissions office around 3:30 p.m. and said that a bomb had been planted somewhere in the Danna Center, and that it would detonate at 5 p.m. The threat turned out to be a hoax, as the campus remained structurally intact. But emotionally, students and faculty members were shaken. "1 was scared. 1 heard the alarm go off, and I've never seen people run so fast out of New Res.," said Craig Bayer, political science/history senior. School officials immediately set off the alarm in the Danna Center after receiving the call. "We were in the Danna Center, meeting about how to deal with the tragedy that happened when the alarm went off," said Robert Reed, director of Residential Life. "At first, we thought it was just the fire alarm; then we found out that there was a bomb threat. Chief 1 Patrick| Bailey |director of University Pol ice | said we needed to evacuate the library, New Hall and Biever." Students were instructed to leave those buildings. According to Eiseman, the students were out in a matter of minutes. Andy Cupit, communications senior and senior R.A. in Cabra Hall, said his residents were cooperative once they understood the situation. "Students were mad they had to leave their rooms, but when they found out there was a bomb threat, everyone understood," he said. "The next thing was to look for the bomb," Eiseman said. After everyone was out of the Danna Center, a bomb squad searched it thoroughly. Squad membersfound nothing resembling any type of bomb. The Aftermath Attack hits close to home; students shocked, worried By Ellen Pivach News Editor The scene was far from typical on Loyola's campus Tuesday as students awoke to learn of the devastating acts of terror in New York City and Washington, D.C. The attacks may have taken place thousands of miles away, but their effects rippled across the shocked country. Simply looking around campus, one could see that things were not okay. An awkward silence replaced the usual chatter and laughter of students trying to get to class on time. The Danna Center was crowded with people sitting on the floor and leaning against walls, eyes glued to the television, waiting to hear news of the latest updates on what is the worst attack on America since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. There were tears; there were hugs; there was anger; but most of all there was shock. "How can anyone do this?" said Erica Ciccarone, English writing sophomore. Ciccarone, like many other Loyola students, has family in the eastern United States, particularly in the attacked areas. Her brother lives in New York City. "My entire life could change today," she said. Students across campus called home to check on their relatives and friends. Others stayed tuned in to their televisions, waiting to hear what would happen next and to find out if the events really were finished. "I woke up this morning, and the first thing I did was turn on the TV. Then I got on the Internet with my friend in New York, and she said, 'It's horrible up here. It's chaos,'" said Kristin Penaloza, international business sophomore. "Then she said, 'Let's pray,' and we prayed over Instant Messenger." Nya Smith, music education senior, said she heard about the attacks and immediately began to worry about her brother, who works on Wall Street. "I didn't know how close Wall Street was (to the World Trade Center|. I'd never been to New York. I was knocking on everyone's door [in the New Residence Hall] trying to find out how close it was, saying 'Someone answer the door. I know somebody's in here.' I knew someone was in the room, because I could hear the TV turned to the news," Smith said. Lauren White, psychology senior, was also shocked when she heard the news. "I was in a state of disbelief. This doesn't happen in America," White said. White has a childhood friend who worked in the World Trade Center. As of Wednesday evening, she had not heard from her. "My friend Jennie was in the World Trade Center. I talked to her mom this afternoon. Everyone is just hoping and praying. We haven't heard anything yet," White said. "Not knowing is the worst part." Classes were unusually quiet as students tried to take in the day's events. Several faculty members canceled classes or ended them STAFF PHOTO BY LANE COTTON WINN Juliette Devaleix, general studies freshman, Sarah Rosenblum, biology freshman, and Victoria Winslett, general studies, freshman, react to the shocking events. Rick Malphrus, drama junior, hugs Mary Rennekamp, drama/communications junior, after watching reports of the terrorist attacks in the Danna Center. University experts weigh in on tragedy By Crystal Bolner Staff writer The United States' reaction to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Tuesday is critical, experts say. While people are watching and waiting to see what, if any, military action will be taken, some say the U.S. should be careful not to overreact to the attack. Political science professors Ed Renwick and Conrad Raabe said they initially were horrified by the calamities in New York City and Washington, D.C. Renwick, director of Loyola's Institute of Politics, said he thinks that it is no coincidence that the attack took place around the 22nd anniversary of the Camp David accords. The accords "We Will were two make no agreements distinction made Sept. between the 17, 1978, terrorists who between committed Israel and these acts Egypt, which and those were who harbor orchestrated them." by former President -PRESIDENT (:ar,erll !' bush, on the the U.

The treaty also provided for the establishment of normal diplomatic relations between the two countries. These provisions were carried out, but Israel failed to implement the provisions calling for Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza areas. "I don't think it's a coincidence that they [the terrorists! used a day they didn't like," Renwick said. As far as the government's reaction to the situation so far, Renwick said he never thought to worry about the United States overreacting, but that "most of the See EXPERTS, Page 3 See BOMB, Page 2 See REACTIONS, Page 4 UFEANDTIMES OPINION m ran ik§®®l Importance of the media, Pg. 9 NEXT WEEK: The Pride of the Pack NEW SEASON eg. 5

33 years of rubbish and shit
All out
There was a good find under the back seat. The original quality control card from ford that checks if the paint is up to standard or not. From the card there are some errors that had to be fixed.
New lot in (sort of)
And havent done much to the motor except pull the heads off, so far it doesnt look like she needs a rebuild.

I took all the front valence etc off cos i thought i mite be able to get the front all off but its welded not bolted on.
I dont really know how to get the torque converter off too, there are 4 nuts in front of the flex plate, i can undo them but to get them off the bolt will be a bit of a mission to mars i think. Or do i need a gear puller?
I still dont have the V8 back yet back thats all gravy because now i will paint the engine bay and get the trans checked out etc etc.
No idea what to do exhaust wise the the 8 also, dont quite have enough room infront the the rear wheels to back door to have them there so i will see what happens.

Posted 04 November 2007 - 07:07 PM
Striped the engine bay of most of the stuff so its easier to paint, and will paint that stuff now while its all out.
Took most of it back to bare metal which took ages
Made a make shift booth in the garage, just stapled sheets to the ceiling, would have got killed if any over spray on anything, but it worked out well
In primizzle
Front done in black which i had to re-do later anywho
Orange all down, not as glossy as i would of liked, but I am pretty happy with it considering i am a n00b at this shiz.
Thought i would be different and do the chassis rails black, my plan for the engine bay is to have NO chrome, just everything black and orange.

They are just press in studs, so i tried to remove it by putting a socket and heaps of washers on and cranking a nut up, but yeah that just stuffed both the nut and the stud, so i re-threaded the stud and tried again, this time with heat, and managed to snap the stud. So i took it into an engineer and 2 hours and $130 later i had a new stud in.
Rather than doing the full on token ford blue colour just going with the black and orange hard.
Putting the rockers on screwed me over big time because i was 90 degrees out and 1 cylinder just happened to line up and the rest was way out, took me a while to figure out why it was so weird.
Today was the big day, putting it all in the wagon, but as we were bolting the trans to the engine, we found that the sandwich plate isnt the right one. So off came the flex plate and we just stuck the motor alone in. If i can get the right plate this week i will get the gbox put in, but i reckon it wont be easy with the engine already in, so may have to wack the engine out again.
But the motor looks so small when in the car, heaps of room around it and stuff so thats all good, except i will have to do something with the throttle cos its all poos.
I HAVE to get to kumeu on the 19th of Jan, (with a cert) so mite be touch and go for it, but money is on the plus which is always handy.

Towed it into truck stops which a mate works, sooo handy having the pit and forklift right there.
Mackin' the R series
Couple of under belly shots
Gangsta az n shit
Then this trailer was in the way and we needed to move "just hook it on the cort bowl"
Gave it a quick stem clean underneath
And my moon gauge, is ever so slightly bit big though. Doesnt look to bad i spose
But today i went to turn the engine over to get it to TDC to stick the dizzy in, and it wouldnt turn over! I think it must be something thats out of line with the torque converter and box, but cant quite figure out how, because if it was out it wouldnt bolt up would it? So mite hire and engine crane tomorrow and drop the engine down so its easy to fiddle with the box and give it a wiggle to see what i can do. Plus cant get the alternator lined up properly.
So my goal, get it going this weekend, exhaust next week, cert week after then that will give me 10 days to iron out any problems befroe i rock kumeu.
Easier said than done.

But went for a decent fang last night, and a mate bought his temp sensor gun and everything seemed fine, untill on the way home on a straight piece of 100km road temp started to rise and rise, so i cranked the heater on and then pulled over to check the heat and it was fine, so we carry on and i turn my lights off to check its not something silly.... And it was! Having my lights on raises the heat heaps, so its an electrical problem, and on the day to kumeu i had my lights on so BANG there is the problem.
Failed cert on friday for 3 minor things, being need a fan gaurd at the top/i really needed a shroud for flow anyway, 2 springs needed on accelorator for return and to fix up a hose underneath. So i am m3ga stoked at that, thought there would be way worse shit.
So happy everything is all done, taken longer than i thought but it has been good times except when something goes wrong of course. So next step with the car, maybe some new wheels, thought about jumping on the band wagon and doing some widend steels, but yeah see what happens.

Posted 08 June 2008 - 06:06 PM
Finally got my cert plate too, and it says its for a 351 not a 302, so one day if i find some money/351 windsor under my bed can chuck it in and i will be sweet. But k33n for column manual.
Then the beach hop was also 10 x awesome, m3an as time with BDA ansd steelies etc.
But through out these good times, there has been one thing holding me back, a stupid starter problem. When it wants the starter simply clicks, so i have to jump out and turn the engine over on the crank, and it fires. I had the starter checked out and it was fine.
So this weekend i decided to pop a new flex plate in. So i got the bopx on and off yesterday with the new flex plate on. And i finished off this morning. Go to start it and i have an ugle grunching/metal grinding noise.
Thought i would try a different starter and my old 6 cyl one happened to line up, so i chucked that in and it was sweet to start with then it must have moved and it was rubbing against the flex plate, making a nasty noise.
Can see where it was grinding
New vs old
Mis-matched covers are the way of the future
Worlds greatest invention, not that my car is sacked on ass but the extractors are pretty low, so this save them from getting super wasted, especially when you have 11 codges in the wagon.
Then i took the starter out and filed some of the body away so it wouldnt rub, but its still doing that stupid click thing, so i guess maybe not enough volts getting to starter?
And yeah, got 245s on the back zomg.

So i bought 2 x "D slot" centres and 2 outer rims, i thought i could get some 15x8"s but only got 7s. And this was produced, i gave it a quick coat of matty b before the trip down.
I did have to roll my guards though, with a baseball bat, did a pretty good job too.
And while at the swapmeet, Joe Flange and seedy mentioned some centreless 15x12" that were only $25, i didnt think much of it at the time, then uterus and kyteler grabbed my arm, twisted it round so that i could touch my left ear with my right arm round my back and said they wont let go till i buy the rims. So that was that.
Went to the my tyre peeps the other day to look at options for rubber.
I dont exactly think stretch would suit my stz, so my options are 295/50, 255/60 or a 265/50, ideally i want the 295 but its 310mm width, thats extreme to extreme. So i will machine a bit of timber so it is the exact size and put the centre in and see if it clears.
While at the tyre place, the dude said they are off a farm item rofl, so they havent been widened, the 8 inch band is factory!
Put some spotlights in behind my grille too because kyteler once again told me to. Bit harder to see then they arent on.
Also, now officailly rocking venetians.
Also got a lushcone bench seat, has the armrest which my old one didnt have. And got it recovered in lushcone browncone.
Do the pics seem big for you boes?

18. My dog is urinating on my lawn and it is discolouring the grass, what can I do to stop this and how can I repair the damage?
The only true way to prevent this is to train the dog to urinate somewhere else. The chemicals in animal urine (dog, fox, badger) will change the appearance of a lawn. If the event is witnessed then the area concerned can be washed down with plenty of plain water; diluting the chemicals to prevent any major damage. A poorly fed lawn will show urination spots as lush, dark green, quick growing patches. In a well fed lawn the animal urine will cause brown patches where the turf looks dead and perhaps a dark green surrounding edge. If you have lush, dark green patches these need to be systematically mown down to the height of the rest of the lawn; and the lawn needs to be given a high quality feed. Brown patches need to be raked to remove dead fibres, then overseeded, using a 50/50 soil/seed mix.

If you are expecting a heavy lychee-richness you will be surprised by the incredibly pure fresh and grapey nose of this Alsace classic. The palate is dry, but extremely full bodied, with a gorgeous mouthfilling texture leading into a lifted peppery finish.
Redolent of roses, lychees and spices, this immensely rich Gewurztraminer is so unctuous and viscous when young that it can seem slightly sweet even though it is fermented almost dry. This massive body is balanced by an almost chalky fresh minerality and extract with a result that the wine boasts the elegance and finesse which are the Trimbach trademark.
Elegant and classic with grapefruit and white peach on the nose fully integrated into a food-friendly structure. The drivers are minerality and a crisp lemony acid backbone leading in to a long finish.
One of the noblest of the Alsace grapes, Pinot Gris produces a full, heady, rich and lush wine in Trimbach's hands. It is technically dry, but the style is so fruity and full, with such a long palate that the illusion of sweetness is maintained. Watch out too for a smokiness on the finish. Its great depth is balanced by a crisp acidity that gives structure and longevity.
Full, balanced and very aromatic. Depending on the vintage, the principal aromas of Gewurztraminer are lychee, rose, ginger and geranium. The Trimbach Gewurztraminer is dry and shows classic restraint, without any loss of the Gewurztraminer's exotic and spicy feature.
White flowers, lemon notes and minerality touch on the nose. Fresh and vibrant, grapefruit and citrus, white peach, this wine has a long finish which is a sign of a beautiful future for the wine.
Toasted nuts, marzipan and salinity underscore the peach and apple fruit here. A hint of honey adds nobility and relatively high acidity adds primary juiciness in the long, fascinatingly smoky, nutty, and mineral finish.
This classic Pinot Blanc really encapsulates the Trimbach style: fermented completely dry, with a firm structure, lovely lemony fruit with lots of breadth, a minerally backbone and a truly elegant poise and balance.
Bone-dry with an intensely-scented grapey nose. On the palate it has a food-friendly mineral bite, high notes of lemons, grapes and blossom, and a refreshing backbone of natural acidity.
Very attractive already, quite powerful nose. Full bodied wine with intensity,depth and beautiful mineral flavour. Rich, ripe acidity in the palate. Great personality and finesse. Full of charm already after nearly 4 years of bottle ageing.

Former premier Danny Williams speaks during a St. John's Board of Trade luncheon today in St. John's. — Photo by James McLeod/The Telegram
Former premier Danny Williams delivered a resounding endorsement of Premier Kathy Dunderdale, Nalcor CEO Ed Martin and the Muskrat Falls project.
Williams, speaking to the St. John's Board of Trade, spoke briefly about his involvement with the St. John's IceCaps and a proposed multi-billion dollar development in Southlands before launching into a lengthy, detailed defence of the Muskrat Falls deal he negotiated just before retiring from politics.
Williams argued the structure of the deal is sound, and will deliver long-term wealth to people of the province.
"We've studied it to death," he said. "It's quite simply a no brainer."

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I have a BSEE, MSEE and PhD, with more than 25 years of direct practical experience while working as an electrical engineer and solid-state physicist in a variety of industrial positions.I have been tutoring math and science subjects to students of all ages for the past decade. My unique mix of industry (research scientist) and academia (PhD in electrical engineering) not only enables me to teach students how to solve problems but most importantly why they need to learn the material. With the associated costs with tutoring, I concentrate on helping students obtain self-confidence that can be used without me by working on the basic concepts. By assisting students in getting caught up with difficult subjects along with self-confidence they are able to work on new concepts on their own. If a subject presents a new challenge, they can be handled with an occasional tutoring lesson.I look forward to the point where students are able to teach me new things.I currently offer a reduced rate for grade-school subjects in math and science.Regards, Glenn
Algebra, is one of the broadest parts of mathematics, along with geometry, trigonometry, number theory, calculus, etc. to work and study science. Literally all aspects of mathematics use algebraic rules to accomplish computations. Regardless what field of study you are interested in mastering, you will find algebraic ideas and rules intertwined inside. I've been tutoring advanced engineering and science topics for decades to students of all ages successfully. By helping students gain... Read More
Advanced Math (Algebra, Calculus, Etc.) skills were required to finish my formal education in addition to working as an microwave engineer and semiconductor device research scientist.
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that describes triangles and relationships between the length of sides and the angles between them. These functions and rules are the basics to cyclical phenomena such as waves. My career specialty (Microwave engineering/Applied Physics) uses these basic principles of trigonometry, Fourier analysis, wave equations to describe and study quantum mechanics and solid state physics. I have literally thousands of hours of tutoring and helping students... Read More
I have been successfully working as a tutor for the past 5 years with a variety of children in grade school with good feedback. I found my experience as a research scientist fascinated the kids which created an environment which they wanted to be in.
I have worked throughout the digital revolution of the past 30 years as a electronic designer, programmer, to discrete electronic components that are required to make CPU's, ADC's, DAC's, memory, etc. The topics that are included in today's discrete math are tools that I've used continuously to achieve the published research results during my career.
Differential equations are one of the multitude of basic tools that engineers, scientists use. I've had formal training in my formal education as well as practical experience in the many techniques that are employed to solve today's real-life problems.
I've been using Macintosh computers for my engineering/science work for the past 25 years. During this time frame I've evolved with apple technology and have always incorporated the latest technology in my research. I have also been teaching others how to use the mac's from new to seasoned users.
I have formal education (BSEE, MSEE and PhD) and over 25 years of direct practical experience while working as an Electrical Engineer in a variety of industrial positions.

Let's talk about Johanna Mason for a minute. The scene after Finnick and Katniss endure the torturous jabberjays is powerful for many reasons but what stuck out to me the most (other than Jennifer Lawrence's incredible acting) was Johanna. She literally screams at President Snow and tells him he can't put everyone in an arena to psychologically torture and kill them. She's completely right. He can't continue to be a coward and put innocent humans in an arena as sacrifices for entertainment value. Then right after she says that, she has this air of complete calm and says, "What? He can't hurt me. There's no one left that I love." That is gut wrenching. The fact that Capitol has taken everything and everyone from this girl, but she keeps on going is something that is truly inspiring. She doesn't give up even though many would in her situation. She is courageous through it all. She's not afraid to stand up to the Capitol and show that even though what they've done has scarred her, she is a fighter and they don't control her. That is why Johanna Mason is amazing. We need more characters like her.
I would also like to say thank you to Jena Malone because she exudes every emotional layer of Johanna perfectly and I don't know of any actress who could've done a better job.

In perhaps an unfriendly move by Apple, iOS 6 devices that are charging and connected to wifi get the possibly unwanted benefit of receiving the iOS 7 Update Installer that will sit on the device and take up valuable storage space in addition to the continual nagging of a red alert icon. There are some good reasons not to upgrade to iOS 7 on older devices.

Do you have a smartphone? Chances are you do. Whether it is an iPhone, an Android phone or any one of the many other smartphones out there it is clear that the age of the feature phone (dumbphone) is past. This year, for the first time, smartphone sales have exceeded dumbphone sales worldwide.
The explosion of smartphones is due to the steady march of technology getting better and lowering costs. Smartphones have dropped in cost from $600+ in the early 2000's…

I take maps. I will always take maps and a compass.
Perhaps the fact that I am search and rescue has a lot to do with it, but I have very little confidence that electronics will ever be a solution - they are at best an add on, a toy, a tool, but always optional and never a guarantee.
No matter what you take or how much experience or positive result you have with any device, you should be leaving detailed trip plans with someone who WILL check on you and WILL call for help if you are missing past your provided return time/day.
{/ public service announcement}
I only say this because there have been and will continue to be searches because people think they can rely entirely on electronics, and that's just not smart. It would not be good for someone to come across this thread and think that their phone is all they need - I've talked to people who think a GPS replaces a map, and it just doesn't.

Book Description
Former US Open Champion Timothy Taylor presents weapons for Black against the hugely popular Spanish Opening, with a repertoire based on the Modern Steinitz Defence. This has justifiably earned a reputation as an important alternative to the main lines, and it's easy to see its appeal. The Modern Steinitz can lead to razor-sharp positions, such as in the Siesta Variation, where one slip by either player could prove to be fatal. But a major attraction of the Modern Steinitz is its flexibility, and Black can also choose to play in a more positional manner. Using illustrative games, Taylor studies in depth the critical main lines, and also what to do if White avoids these. Read this book and be ready to slay the Spanish!
International Master Timothy Tayloris an experienced tournament player who has enjoyed several notable successes. He is an accomplished chess writer who is renowned for his entertaining and thought-provoking style.

E-mailer Jake kicks it off, with this apt observation off this week's news that a pair of San Francisco Chronicle reporters must give grand-jury testimony and could be jailed if they don't reveal the sources behind their coverage of l'affaire BALCO:
Barry Bonds. Isn't it interesting that Barry Bonds' personal trainer has spent time in jail for refusing to testify before the grand jury about Bonds and the possibility exists that the two reporters who broke the story (and book) about Bonds lying to the grand jury are being threatened with jail for refusing to reveal their sources? All the while, Bonds remains free to go about his business. I appreciate that he is innocent until proven guilty but it's more than ironic that other people have or will spend time in jail while the subject of the legal action does not.
Yes, it is ironic, but in the absence of a federal shield law, U.S. district court judge Jeffrey White said he had no choice but to order reporters Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada to testify and reveal their sources. That it clearly isn't a matter of national security did not dissuade the judge, nor did arguments that the reporting was in the public interest (it was mainly based on leaked grand-jury testimony) or led to Major League Baseball adopting tougher rules on prohibited drug use (dubious; there were others pursuing the story, too). The Chronicle immediately announced it would appeal. Meantime, the need for a shield law is the core issue behind the irony, and putting them in jail for this amounts to a serious case of overdoing it.
Steven Dykstra sends in a note regarding Chuck Nevitt off this week's Loren Woods farewell post, suggesting the inauguration of a new term: the Nevitt Line, a la baseball's Mendoza Line, "the place where awesome height crosses remarkable futility ... I saw him play live once—actually, I saw him warm up live once. He could dribble behind his back. I guess he couldn't translate that talent to actually game time."
Steven was busy this week, also responding to Rating the Tubeheads:
1. Sportscaster most likely to make a million bucks in the U.S.: Jennifer Hedger. I can't believe she hasn't been snapped up by a national network in the United States.
2. Second best sportscaster in his household: Sean McCormick (married to J. Hedger).
3. Funniest anchor: Jay Onrait and Adnan Virk (tie). Jay has a great, dry sense of humour that drips into his broadcasts. His style isn't appreciated by everyone, however. Adnan seems to have great fun. I love that. He tosses around clever, hip references throughout his broadcast.
4. Best chemistry for an anchor team: Sid Seixeiro and Tim Micallef. Another set of guys that love what they're doing and it shows. Fun to watch, but not for everybody (my wife thinks Tim snaps back shooters just before show time).
5. Least chemistry between broadcasters: Jerry Howarth and Warren Sawkiw. Their styles are too similar. For Jerry, his smooth, low key, style works wonderfully; but Warren desperately needs some colour in his personality.
6. Most disappointing broadcasts: Blue Jays on Rogers Sportsnet. Trying to do things on the cheap, like the broadcasters don't really matter. Imagine, we once had Dan and Buck. Now we have Jamie Campbell and whatever scrub Sportsnet throws out there on any given night. C'mon, Ted, spend some freakin' money and get your viewers a dedicated, talented duo of sportscasters for your broadcasts.
There was more, but you get the idea. Good points on Micallef, who I quite like, and the Jays here. Pat Tabler does a decent job and delivers an occasional anecdote that tickles the spot, but there's an overall lack of personality and energy -- they all sound so interchangeable. Some continuity would be welcome.
Then there's regular Mark Freedman, recovering from back surgery and feeling bored as he counts down the days to NFL kickoff:
Question: Why did the Kings sign Loren Woods? I think I have an answer. There must be a place in the NBA for a inexpensive 12th man (since he's young) who will not see any playing time, keep his mouth and not whine about the lack of PT and take up space in practice. Woods has shown nothing in the pros but yet he's still getting an NBA salary when there are more established crappy big men available.
That takes us back to where we started. You can never have enough crappy big men.

The socialists loved ideas, but Churchill, the unrepentant Victorian Tory, loved life.
When a German-educated Oxford professor of physics was asked who was the smartest person he had ever met, he replied without hesitation, "Winston Churchill." Churchill was undoubtedly also one of the most complex, and probably had more influence on world history than any other democratically elected leader in the last 100 years. He was born into privilege at the height of Victorian imperialism, educated in its best and worst ideals, and then tried to uphold and preserve those ideals (and that empire) against the terrible tragedies and absolute monsters of the 20th Century. Manchester was both an historian and a novelist and so does a wonderful job exploring Churchill's psychology, how great strengths were the sources of both brilliant success and perplexing failure. This is a long two-volume work, but the first two chapters of Volume One summarize Churchill's career and explain what it must have felt like to be a part of the British Empire in all its glory so these two chapters can be read as a stand-alone work. But readers wanting to know more have both volumes of Manchester's work to educate them.

I love this sweater. It is soft and it was the right length I was looking for when I made the purchase. I will add - I brought 9 items (2 of these neck sweaters), 3 pants, 2 shirts and 2 sweaters. I don't regret not one item. Which is unusual for me because I always dislike at least one thing I purchased online.

It had been years since I had been in a Dress Barn store until October of this year. I liked what I bought in the Maryland store so the next week I went to a store in North Carolina and then online to make this purchase. Good products and prices.

Despite how commonly we associate stress with mood, stress is actually defined as an imbalance in the body's state of healthy equilibrium.
Enzymes can be obtained from many food sources. Raw foods are especially rich in digestive enzymes, and regular consumption can help support the digestive process.
At the core of healthy mobility are strong, functional, well-lubricated joint structures. But a lifetime of shock and impact affecting the joints takes its toll on the cartilage that cushions them.

BOOK review of two books on Mao Zedong and the Great Famine. The Great Famine of 1958-62 is thought to have taken more than thirty million lives, and perhaps as many as forty-five million. Two new books offer fresh evidence to describe the stubborn delusions and cruelties of Mao Zedong, who believed that, among other things, hundreds of millions of Chinese making steel in their back-yard furnaces could surpass the industrial production of Western countries. "Tombstone," by the Chinese journalist Yang Jisheng (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) is the first major Chinese account of the causes and consequences of the famine. "Mao: The Real Story," by Alexander V. Pantsov and Steven I. Levine (Simon & Schuster), draws on Russian archives to show, more clearly than before, that this tale of folly was not without precedent in the twentieth century. "Mao" reveals that the Chinese Communist Party was deeply dependent on Soviet money, expertise, and ideological guidance. As Pantsov and Levine point out, "Mao had no concrete plans for the Great Leap Forward." A hundred absurd schemes now flowered. Ill-conceived projects took peasants away from the fields, causing a steep decline in agricultural productivity. The subject of the famine remains taboo in China. In "Tombstone," Mao emerges as patriotic but megalomaniacal, crudely vindictive, and utterly inept. Yang is deeply ambivalent about the prospects for democracy in China.
