Traci McMillan/Medill
As the Cubs gear up for opening day at Wrigley Field, some fans will be spending $24,300 on season tickets, or $300 per person per game, to sit in the field's luxurious new PNC Club of Chicago.
The luxury club is sponsored by PNC Financial Services Group Inc., a bank headquartered in Pittsburgh. It features outdoor heaters, all-inclusive food and beverages, an indoor lounge and a chance to meet celebrities introduced during the seventh-inning stretch.
PNC Club ticket holders have to buy a minimum of two tickets out of the 70 club seats available. Wally Hayward, the Cubs' new chief sales and marketing officer, said Friday the team has sold 70 percent of the PNC Club's seats and thinks the rest will sell once people see the addition opening day.
At a Wrigley Field press briefing, Tom Ricketts, the new owner and chairman of the Cubs, said his family has already spent more than $10 million on improvements to the field for opening day, including refurbishing bathrooms, creating an in-stadium viewing area to watch batting practice, opening Sheffield Grill to the public, remodeling the clubhouse, and building the PNC Club.
A desire to wring even more revenue out of a sold-out ballpark helps explain why the Cubs hired Hayward, a sports-marketing expert, just as many other teams with established global audience and strong brand names are upping their marketing.
According to David Aron, a marketing professor at Dominican University, all of the premier baseball teams have someone covering the marketing position, and the Cubs have had a vacancy since John McDonough left for the Blackhawks. Aron said the Cubs are attempting "a model like the Boston Red Sox, who are very aggressive in marketing," a trait that propelled the team to win a World Series.
What do these marketing giants do?
Like any marketer, their primary focus is generating revenue, said Joel Whalen, professor at the College of Commerce of DePaul University. He believes marketing encompasses all of the ways that any major sports organization "reaches, serves and communicates with customers." In Chicago's competitive sports atmosphere, Whalen said, the Cubs need to make sure that fans "continue to treasure the brand and have an optimal experience each time they come to Wrigley field."
Responding to a question after the briefing, Ricketts said it is his family's goal to "bring in the best practices across the marketing function." He said, "we want to be among the best in the game at sponsorships and partnerships." This may get a little tricky, when the family is working with a 100-year-old building without room for ads around the field to generate revenue.
Hayward said that's a major challenge that pushes him to "be creative and more innovative in how we bring corporate partners in to the Wrigley experience… without putting 70 signs around the bowl area of the park."
Another limitation is the old, manually-operated scoreboard in center field. Jon Greenberg, executive editor of Team Marketing Report, said the Cubs are losing a lot of money by clinging to the historic scoreboard in lieu of an electronic board, which could post advertisements. According to Greenberg, other teams bring in at least $10 million to $15 million in ads on scoreboards.
Hayward has always worked on the buying side, or agency side, of sports marketing and now sees his selling-side job as a way to really connect "with our loyal fan base and our consumers, to help them sell more products or services."
According to Team Marketing Report, Cubs tickets have become some of the most expensive in major league baseball. It estimates that the Cubs have the highest average price for tickets, at $52.56 for general admission, although this figure doesn't account for premium ticket prices at other, more modern fields.
Even though the family-owned business does not reveal revenues, Hayward affirmed, "we are on track with our revenue plan for the year and the Ricketts have committed and said that the funds that we have generated here are going to go back into preserving Wrigley Field and putting a better product on the field for our fans."
Hayward said the team will announce its new sponsors on Monday, opening day at Wrigley, and declared he hopes to help make the Cubs "a championship team, on and off the field."

Aw, hell, it's a beautiful day; so why not go down onto the flight line instead of just right into the cockpit for a change? Bright sky, gleaming jets, the sun climbing its early arc from a not too warm, still fresh and breezy morning toward what will be a hot, dusty dry pre-afternoon. The perfect, clear, preflight moment.
Clomp down the jet bridge stairs, and try not to face plant on the spike-grated steps grabbing the soles of your dress shoes (the ramp crew would love it) as you descend to the tarmac. Feels so familiar: jet exhaust and the smell of kerosene mixing with the light scent of leaked Skydrol, engine oil, maybe even a spattering of propylene glycol dripping out of drain masts, souvenirs of previous departures from up north.
Over it all, the warm, dusty signature Texas breeze, dry, easy but mustering strength for a gusty day later, a spring promise well kept. And the scent and the sky and the sun and the wind; feet on the ramp, moving among metal giants at rest but ready for flight. There's that same old "this is mine" feeling, this is my world, my jet, fueled, ready for me to climb in, strap it on, then bring the beast to life and launch off into that indigo canopy above.
Flashback: tromping around on the Air Force flightline in flight boots, heading for sleeker, faster, more treacherous jets. The flight boots were a wry realization: we'd all been foot printed because, the laconic tech who did that job told us, chances were good that given the nature of the jets and the type of flying, whatever was in the boots was most of what they'd have to identify us by in certain cases.
Whatever: we were immortal. Tromping out of the life support shop loaded with crap–a chute, helmet bag, leg board; tail number of your assigned jet inked in ballpoint on your palm, along with "step time:" the briefed "step to the jet" minute coordinated with everyone else involved. Give a glance at the sky to see if those pattern altitude winds are anywhere near what the weather-guessers forecast. Probably not.
The alcohol swab you used on your oxygen mask to clean it before leak-testing it still burns your fresh-shaven face, letting you know you're alive, despite the early hour. Hoist yourself into the converted dump truck with bench seats that slowly trolls the flight line, sad and slow as Eeyore, pausing to pick up pilots just blocked in after a flight, taking others like us out to our jets. Exchange a grunt or a pleasant obscenity with a fellow aviator also loaded down with flight gear. But even then, as now, before morning flights, always preferred general "shut up" before flying, like a silent meditation before church.
Never was–am–nervous about flight. Just prefer less earthly clutter on my mind, mostly calmness, zen, before the orchestra strikes up. And then in my mind the relationships of time, distance, speed, angles, rates, thrust, pitch and roll all come out of the woodwork like ghosts in a darkened dance hall: we all know our places and how this waltz interlocks into a kaleidoscope of motion. Think it, live it, do it.
Like a blind date: you know what she looks like from her picture, but seeing the jet–your jet–from afar, then close up; it's the best: we're going to do this. It's all coming together, and when it does, there's going to be speed, thunderous noise, power, altitude, and no gravity. You can look for my boots later, I don't give a damn: we're going to this dance.
Something about touching the jet, as you walk around it, visually inspecting, really matters. Because just like a any thoroughbred, you're going to pat her flank before you just throw a saddle on and cinch it up. Used to always pat the underwing vortilon on the Maddog; many a fueler watched with mild disinterest, ramp denizens familiar with pilot touchstones. Not sure why I did, maybe just because I always did, reassuring me that she was metal, and her that I was not.
Now I just walk under that bigger, fatter cambered Boeing wing, too high to touch even if I wanted to. Admire that clean, shiny leading edge that tapers outward then flows gracefully up into the seven foot winglet on each wingtip. Love the big, gaping scoop of engine cowl around the clattering fan section of the high-bypass engine, blades windmilling loosely, soon to be centrifugally taut at 30,000 RPM just at idle. They gulp air so powerfully even during taxi that you've seen them suck puddles, even just moisture, from the concrete in twisty tornados swirling right into the engines.
Around the towering, gleaming (new paint job) tail, then under the left wing, always with one eye open for the dozens of ground carts and tractors scuttling around the ramp like a jailbreak. You could get run over down here. Enough; time to mount up.
The cockpit is always home. Everything there is spare, utile, functional, and state of the art. Some pilots call climbing in "building their nest," hooking up comm cables, adjusting straps and rudder pedals and seat position. I don't call it anything, I just strap in. My favorite copilots have little or nothing to say as we piece together the dozens of technical steps required to go fly: performance, navigation, systems. What needs to be said is rote, a litany, more like gears and cams than conversation, and I like it just fine that way.
"Step time" becomes push time, the canopy clunking closed and locked gives way to the forward entry door thunking shut, locks engaged. Then the cockpit door bolts shut; talk on the crew interphone to the ground guy unseen below. Release the brakes, clear the tug driver to shove us off the gate, onto the ramp, cleared to start. She comes to life, engines spinning up, fires lit, hydraulic brawn ready, thrust available when you call for it.
With the tug disconnected, the crew chief holds up the nose steering pin, red "remove before flight" streamer attached, for you to verify that hydraulic steering is back under your control; you flash the landing light, he snaps you a salute, then the ground crew hops on the tug and trundles back to the gate.
Give 'em a minute to get clear, then call for the flaps to be extended, flight control checks, then taxi. Beautiful morning, promising a stellar, clear spring day, one you almost hate to miss. But then, as she rolls in response to your nudge of jet thrust, with a squinty glance above, you notice the chalk lines of contrails arcing east and west, north and south.
Thoughts of the day, the earth, springtime, and anything below five miles and five hundred miles per hour somehow seems less relevant, even less real. It's all about getting and being up there again, precisely, as perfectly–and in my case, as quietly–as possible.
Granted, she's more of a draft horse than a thoroughbred, but there's tremendous power and grace in her nonetheless. And these days we realize we're mortal, boots or dress shoes–but we really don't give a damn about that either.
It's a kinder, gentler type of flying, especially with 160 warm bodies aboard. Burnished, polished smooth by the thousands of hours in the air, but then as now, and ever, what really matters is flight.

Gasoline Prices Climbing Again
Gasoline prices in Wyoming and across the nation continue their relentless climb with AAA Auto Club's latest statistics indicating a national average of $3.92 per gallon of unleaded regular. AAA says gasoline prices across the country continue to rise as a result of tight supplies and concerns over refinery closures in the eastern US. Wyoming remains the state with the lowest average gasoline price, now computed at $3.57 per gallon. The next least expensive state is Montana at $3.68. Prices reported by Motor Trend in Jackson Hole average $3.65 while gasoline west of Teton Pass currently averaged $3.80 per gallon.

Obama II
- Written by Christopher Hope/Special to The New Tri-State Defender
- Published in News
WASHINGTON – Washington, D.C. wore a morning chill as an estimated one million people gathered to be a part of the 2013 Presidential inauguration and parade on Monday.
I was among them, layered with the necessary clothing to keep warm. I drew very little comfort from the fact that the temperature was twice as high as it had been for the historic first inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009.
The metro transportation system, city streets and security check points were congested with spectators eager for the day's events – all a part of Obama II.
There were no big displays of frustration with the process of getting through security checkpoints that had six lanes per block with thousands at each entry point. Those carrying big bags and folding chairs had two choices – leave them or take them back to the car and get back in line. To no surprise, there was a nice collection of goodies at the gates.
Once inside, you could feel the excitement and adrenaline as people rushed to position themselves to get a view of the 44th president on the parade route. Music played over loud speakers, helping to ease the eight-hour wait along. Yes, eight, long, standing hours of waiting.
The music featured a variety of music artists, with Stevie Wonder the crowd favorite. When his songs were played, a good portion of the crowd joined in.
All of this played out amid security that included members from each state's law enforcement department, along with different branches of the military in their dress uniforms.
All of sudden, there was a roar of cheers. The Presidential motorcade – including a couple of big black Chevy Suburbans that looked like luxury tanks – turned the corner and rushed down Pennsylvania Avenue. The custom security SUVs had nothing on the two Cadillacs that followed it.
The crowd went crazy. One of the Cadillacs carried the President's family, easing by with dual flags on the hood and bulletproof glass. We weren't certain if the President was in there, but several people in the crowd spotted his daughters, Malia and Sasha.
...the President...
Loud speakers delivered the sounds of the Inauguration. The crowd cheered as the President Obama made some key points during his address. After several hours of standing in the cold, the loudest cheer came after benediction. It was going to be much longer, right?
Not the case. The parade was scheduled to start at 2:30, but didn't get under way until 3:15. Amazingly, no one tripped out over the delay. People were disappointed, but they didn't drift into a world of complaining.
As the announcer called out who was coming down Pennsylvania Avenue in the parade line, the crowd finally heard "ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States."
The crowd roared and cheered like music fans do when artists enter the stage at the start of their performances. There were no walls to hold the sound. We were outside in an open area and still these cheers were just as loud and sustained.
Secret Service agents surrounded the President's armored Cadillac, with armed security along the route on rooftops. President Obama leaned as close to the window as he could, waving, smiling and pointing to the crowd as though he knew them personally. The crowd got louder, yelling out his name.
As the motorcade drove away, many were visibly in awe of having seen the commander-in-chief.
"This is my second inauguration parade," said Lillian Lee of Raleigh, N. Car. "It was just as joyous and exciting as 2009."
Darlene Marshall of Louisville, Ky. added, "I wanted to see this event because it (an African American as president) may never happen again."
Renee Sanders-Lawnson of Cordova said she had a personal reason for being there, noting that her mom had been a civil rights worker.
"The most excitement is just being here," she said. "My mom would have been proud to see this. I wish she could have been here to be a part of this."
Tracy White-Hanks of Washington said her experience was "everything I thought it would be and more. Today I am proud to be an American."
Joseph Frazier of Sterling, Va., said the second inauguration of Barack Obama "confirms his legitimacy as the first African-American president of United States. Through his leadership and vision for America, it proved to his critics that he has what it takes to be the leader of the free world.
"This country is more diverse and more open-minded and his inaugural address capitalized on (the) true tenets of the constitutional rights and freedoms of all human beings of this great nation."

William Katz: Urgent Agenda
U.S. READY FOR MILITARY ACTION IN SYRIA – AT 8:42 A.M. ET: The Times of London is reporting that the U.S. will intervene militarily at the first sign that chemical weapons are being used in Syria. From Reuters:
COMMENT: There are unconfirmed reports from other sources that Syrian chemical weapons are already being moved to Aleppo.
Of equal danger to the use of these weapons by the government is the possibility that they'll fall into the hands of those rebel groups affiliated with Al Qaeda. There are no good options in Syria, thanks in part to the fact that the West, misled by President Obama, has waited so long to stage any kind of serious intervention. The existence of large stockpiles of WMD provided enough reason for intervention.
Too late, too late.

Title: Fit for a Princess!
Date: Aug 17, 2011
My two year old princess loved these plates and the other Disney Princess supplies that I purchased. I must say the customer service at Celebrate Express is superior! I had a problem with my order and the representative was curteous and eager to assist me. He made sure everything was delivered in time for the party. I will definitely use Celebrate Express again!

We ordered this theme for our 4 year old's party. What better design for our princess than the Disney princesses that make her smile every time she sees them. The plate size and quality was great as well.

Coghlan's Bear Bell with Silencer
The Coghlan's Bear Bell attaches to clothing or pack with a velcro strap. The movement you make while riding will cause a steady ringing to warn animals or nearby hikers of your presence. The magnet inside the bag eliminates any noise.
I bought three- one for me, and two as stocking stuffers. I ride in some fairly remote areas with plentiful wildlife. I haven't seen a bear or other scary animal since using this bell, so it must work. Then again, I never did before purchasing this bell either.
functional when needed.. magnet silencer works like a charm..
I'm on my second one after a couple months, due to the first one ejecting from my bars at some point on a ride. In my experience it's impossible to get it to lock down on your bars with the velcro straps, and they do seem to loosen up. Mind you I pretty much ride on rocky, bumpy trails, so someone who rides more XC-type terrain may not experience the same issue(s) I did. As far as its noise, I don't remember ever coming up behind a hiker or other mountain biker where they didn't hear me coming. After I lost the original one I bought the other one they sell on here that doesn't have a bag, but instead a magnet sewn into a velcro strap. My experience with that was when you removed the magnet from the bell and attached it via the velcro to the tightening strap, the magnet always ended up migrating back down to the bell and silencing it anyway, so IMO the ONLY real option is this one. FWIW, it may seem like it'd be a PITA to get the bell back into the bag as you're riding, but it isn't for some reason. It DOES still make some noise however, but it seemed to bother the people I ride with more than me. I easily tune that kind of crap out lickity split. Bottom line is that I would-and am- buying it again.
Most of my rides are on the weekend a.m. which is usually peak time on the trail. Me and all my friends ride with these a good way to alert hikers.

Scrying: The ancient art of clairvoyance achieved by concentrating on an object - usually one with a reflective or semi-reflective surface (mirror, crystal ball, water, etc.) - until visions appear. Magicians and witches of all ages have practiced scrying. The term scrying comes from the English word descry , which means 'to make out dimly' or 'to reveal.' The services of the scryer typically are sought for predictions of the future, answers to questions and tracking down criminals, just to name a few.
Pan Scrying Mirror
The goat hooved and lusty king of the Arcadian satyrs, the original Horned One, he was closely identified with Dionysos and the cult of wine and ecstacy. The seated, pipe-playing representation depicts the god in his prankster or puckish mode. The first tragedy (Greek, Tragoidos, Goat Song) told the sacred story of his death and resurrection. Identical with Faunus, Silenus, Silvenus, he is the quintessential woodland god, demonized by the church to diminish his powerful influence on pagans or "rural dwellers" across Europe. This amazing piece is 6 inches.

Before the official founding of the church, when an electric trolley still ran through the independent township of Oakhurst on its way between Atlanta and Decatur, the community's Baptists attended interdenominational services in a tent pitched on the corner of Howard and Drexel Avenues. In 1913 the newly organized Oakhurst Baptist Church met in members' homes, and in 1920 they managed to purchase a tent of their own. Over the years, changes in the nature of the church's neighborhood and mission were naturally reflected in its properties. Today Oakhurst Baptist Church stewards a facility of approximately 35,000 square feet, dedicated to worship, fellowship, missions and education.
Oakhurst people sometimes refer to the two parts of the main facility as the Old Building and the New Building. The red brick structure where Sunday worship is held was completed in 1937 and renovated in 2001. One floor below the worship space are eight spacious classrooms for children's education and a room for music ministry, where our choirs rehearse. The relatively new building (its three brown-stucco stories and basement completed in 2000), houses offices, classrooms for adult education, and community areas, including a chapel, parlor, prayer meeting room, and a fellowship hall complete with a commercial kitchen and a fireplace. "Old" and "New" are actually linked via an interior, second-story bridge whose windows overlook the Swint Courtyard, a recessed garden space connecting the two sides and offering a green, quiet respite from the activity on Decatur's East Lake Drive.
The Sanctuary.
Windows with panes of gold- and purple-hued opalescent glass fill the side walls, north and south.
Baptism obviously plays an indispensable role in Baptist faith and tradition. Oakhurst's baptistery, a small, sunken room with one glass wall facing the congregation, is literally front and center of the sanctuary (in the east). Natural light filters into the baptistery through a stained glass window that depicts an idealized River Jordan, the site of Jesus' baptism by John. The window itself has an interesting history, having first hung in the First Baptist Church of Decatur until a fire there led to a construction program requiring more expansive decoration. Members of the younger and smaller Oakhurst church were thrilled by this unexpected donation.
One of the many ministries begun by the church in the 1980s was a night shelter for homeless men, which for some years was housed on the third floor of the now demolished education building. In 1999 the church purchased the home next door at 232 East Lake Drive, had it rezoned and reconfigured with space for ten small bedrooms, to serve as a long-term, therapeutic residence for homeless men with chemical dependencies. The church leases the house for a nominal fee to the widely respected and now-independent Oakhurst Recovery Program.
Changes, Choices, and the "Struggle for Integrity."
A compelling story about the church's physical properties could include almost as much information about what the facility isn't.
With no soaring steeple or marble columns to proclaim itself, the sanctuary building states its purpose with an inconspicuous Georgian-style wooden sign: "Oakhurst Baptist Church Meets Here." In a patch of ground between the front stairs and ramp, practically invisible to passing traffic, a ten-ton block of granite is planted—our "covenant stone," which serves as a reminder of God's presence and of the church's commitment to continually becoming a fellowship "to embody and to express the Spirit of Christ."
The 1937 building was actually intended as an auditorium, envisioned—even as the Great Depression dragged on—as a transitional sanctuary that would someday be replaced by a more stately one, steeple and all. To this, a boxy Sunday School annex was attached in 1942 (and demolished in 1985).
At the height of its membership rolls in 1963, the church owned a full seven acres of land and three separate buildings, including an impressive education center and fellowship hall on College Avenue.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a direct link to the XP version of Movie Maker do they?

I don't suppose anyone knows of a direct link to the XP version of Movie Maker do they?
I have not come up trumps looking at any google searches :-(
Thats for Vista/Win7. I need the XP msi.
Movie Maker is standard as part of XP. What are you trying to do?
2.6 works with both XP and Win 7. I use it successfully where I have a mixed network
As @Chris_ says Movie Maker is already installed into XP. You can't even remove it from the addremovefeatures menu.
Its included within the Service pack 2 I believe.
A techer has asked me to check the IT suite to see if movie maker works correctly on all PC's. I have inherrited this school, and believe all workstations are at SP3 (XP environment).
For ease of use, I would just like to redeploy the software rather than visit all machines.
I have managed to extract the files from a MovieMaker20.exe file and now have all the relevant files needed to deploy.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Lets see if this works.
I think there's a GPO that disables Movie Maker, or it might just be that someone has deleted the shortcuts (I've done this on our network).
I wouldn't recommend using Movie Maker, it's very picky about video formats. It's also not very powerful and doesn't use timetimes. If you can afford it get Serif Movie Maker or Sony Vegas (I've only used this in a domestic setting so make sure it works well in a school environment before ordering).
Right, have a look in c:\program files and see if there's a movie maker folder. If there is then all you need to do is make a shortcut to Moviemk.exe and place this in the start menu. It should be fairly easy to automate.
I'd recommend choosing almost any alternative to save yourself hassle with format problems and crashing issues such as those K.C.Leblanc suggested
I'd rather use tape and scissors than Movie Maker!
I know what you mean but since i've switched from using MJPEG to HUFFYUV coded source videos (from a stop animation package - just added a ffmpeg script to do the conversion) its proved remarkably stable on my primary XP netbooks (but it really really didn't like sources coded in MJPEG :( )Quote:
I'd recommend choosing almost any alternative to save yourself hassle with format problems
Of course the source videos are now much larger but I stick with doing all capturing/editing on the local machine and only uload the finished WMVs to the network 9 (does mean pupils remembering which netbook they were on of course!)

Speaker Boehner,
When it came time to elect a Speaker of the House after the elections I sent an email to your Lieutenant and the Majority Leader of the House, Eric Cantor, saying that you should step down or that you should be defeated.
You successfully pulled an Obama and deliberately lied to your own party members telling them that you would not negotiate with the Executive Branch directly ever again. You pleaded for mercy and another chance. You sounded like Obama on the campaign trail blaming everything and anyone else. You put on quite the show, and now you have proven beyond all doubt that you can not be trusted.
You have taken away the voice of the people by calling for a clean Continuing Resolution to fund the government for the next 9 months. You proffered the lie of holding the Congress to account for their unrestrained spending by holding their pay hostage.
You are no leader, you are no gentleman, and you should be removed from your position immediately by a vote of No Confidence by the House of Representatives.
As an American Citizen I am outraged that YOU and you alone have decided the fate of our nation without the recourse to amendments that would have lowered the debt, defunded the continued implementation of Obamacare along with its onerous defilement of the Conscience Protections and Religious Liberties of the 1st Amendment, and brought some sanity and a return to the laissez faire agreement between government and the people.
I despise the weakness of a coward like you, who would make a backroom deal with the Democrat mouthpiece of Obama known as the U.S. Senate. You insult all that our founders loved and died for. You make a mockery of the Republic and spit in the face of every American by denying their right to have a say in the process of law making.
Yes Mr. Boehner, your time as Speaker must come to an end, and I call upon every Conservative Republican to convince those in the House who would continue to to stay in the House after the 2014 elections to vote immediately to remove you from your Speakership.
We the People will no longer tolerate a traitor in our ranks. There is no room for your style of "leadership" and the continued capitulation to the real domestic enemies of this Republic who sit in the Congress the White House, and the Supreme Court. You do not rule the United States of America! It is they who rule you, and I pray to Almighty God that you will find that out in your next election as your State decides to give you a richly deserved retirement and place a much more qualified Conservative Republican in your place.
You, Mr. Speaker, have made a deal with the Devil and your sins will be brought down upon your head. You have brought the Republican Party to the bring of extinction. Your tireless efforts to thwart the Constitution in light of all that you have heard from loyal Americans begging for an end to the enslavement you have committed them to will be your epitaph. May God have mercy on your soul.
To my fellow Americans, I ask you to repeat my call. To action, to arms as it were, and repeat my message to have this fraud thrown down from his office of power to a place befitting his true stature in the bowels of the House of Representatives until his final days.
As a loyal citizen of the United States,
Allen Godin, Veteran and Free American
Views: 53
One more time: Boehner doesn't WANT change, He wants his status quo all expenses paid ride in the drivers' seat to continue. The Constitution has to ride in the back.
This Chicago, muslim gang will try anything boozing, voodoo, drugs, sedatives, killing to advance the agenda.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Boehner obviously can't take the heat.
Boehner is just a "nice guy" who can not come to grips how despicable BO and his cohorts really are. Boehner is way out of his league. We need someone that can face the reality of this totally corrupt and fraudulent president.
Speaker Bohener please understand that Fraudbama is your and our enemy and that he wants to destroy us, You are only being his useful idiot, I know they are using voodoo on you, please don't help fraud to take this country to the muslim pit anymore.

Today, I met with several American and other foreign journalists based in China who, while reporting in downtown Beijing on Sunday afternoon, February 27, were illegally detained or harassed as they attempted to do their jobs. One reporter was severely beaten and detained for many hours. Several others were manhandled and also detained for varying lengths of time. Most of them had their cameras and video recorders confiscated and their pictures and videos erased.
This type of harassment and intimidation is unacceptable and deeply disturbing. I am disappointed that the Chinese public security authorities could not protect the safety and property of foreign journalists doing their jobs. I call on the Chinese Government to hold the perpetrators accountable for harassing and assaulting innocent individuals and ask that they respect the rights of foreign journalists to report in China. I also urge China to respect internationally recognized conventions that guarantee freedom of the press and freedom of expression.

The 'Thought For The Day' slot is often (not always) given to religious professionals of various types. Or at least there seem to be a majority of speakers from the various faiths. Other people's thoughts are not seen as valuable or moral perhaps?
More and more people are signing up to the hundreds of paid and 'free' dating sites to be found on the net. If you're tempted, what you are really getting is a place on the web where you can post your details for strangers to read, and be able to contact you.
4chan has always catered to a very narrow group of people: be it manga and anime lovers in the beginning; to sad, angry and aggravated trolls whose premise of privacy is built on the idea that hacking iCloud is the user's fault.
Despite the rising fears of digital footprints, I also have doubts about erasing the past. These fears are not driven by the Orwellian angst that 'He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past', but from uncertainties regarding how this will affect our identities.
Connecting a computer to the internet without a virus protection program is as reckless as leaving your property in the street. It's an open invitation to hackers... they wrangle these herds of infected computers into massive botnets that can bring down whole websites and web-accessed systems at the touch of a button.
In the wake of the EU Court's decision, Google is now faced with a few problems that not only call into question the principles behind the right to be forgotten but could also have possible damaging effects on its functionality as a search engine tool.
On top of malware, these rogue sites are rife with credit card cons. Two in three of the 30 analysed are guilty of that trick, and more than three in four people who admit to visiting pirate film and TV sites say they've fallen victim to these sorts of scams at some point.
If you're struggling to understand the deluge of information about the Heartbleed vulnerability, you're not alone. Some reports tell us to change all our online passwords immediately, others warn us that this could do more harm than good. There is a lot of misinformation out there.
Snowden has shown us that in the digital world a level of surveillance is possible and practiced that would never have been accepted in analogue democracies. Now people start to rebel
Due to the lack of awareness of these threats, the often overlooked human element and the limited security measures that may be in place, it's becoming easier for cybercriminals to target small, local businesses.
We all face the threat of opportunistic malware designed to steal confidential information from anyone unlucky enough to get infected. But then there are customised attacks that are tailored to infiltrate organisations and harvest highly-sensitive data belonging to the victims.
For many in the technology sector, one of the most discussed topics in recent months has been digital fraud and online security. This is an area in which I have a great deal of interest, as it continues to play a significant role in the demand for specialist skills in the Financial Services & Banking Sectors.
315,000 new samples are analysed every day. Browser-based attacks nearly doubled to 1,700,870,654.Offline attacks (via USB flash-drive, for example) totalled 3 billion, from a total of 1.8 million malicious and potentially unwanted programs.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas the number of online transactions increases dramatically - and with it our risk of being targeted by cyber-criminals.
'You've got a virus,' my little sister said finally, sneering at me in a way that made it perfectly clear that she considered the whole matter beneath her. 'What internet security provider are you using?' I laughed, because internet security software is like ironing, or packing the night before a flight- done only by the neurotic or the elderly.
Think about it. You never know what the guy with the laptop at the next table might be doing. Maybe, like you, he's checking his email, updating his Facebook page or chatting with friends. But maybe he's sniffing the Internet traffic of everyone around him - including yours.

Deborah Marquart Liddick entered the United States Air Force (USAF) in April 1989. Over the course of the past 20 years and six months, the Westbury native has moved up the ranks, earning various promotions, including being named Colonel in September 2009.
Liddick is a 1984 graduate of Carle Place High School, where she was active in the French Honor Society and orchestra and served as captain of both the varsity field hockey and varsity lacrosse teams. Following high school, she enrolled in the four-year Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program at Wilkes College in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
"ROTC gave me the opportunity to receive an undergraduate degree, develop discipline, confidence, and skills to grow into an officer while attending college," Liddick told The Westbury Times.
In 1989, after graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in mathematics, Liddick received a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the USAF and, in March 1991, was promoted to 1st Lieutenant. Two years later, she moved up the ranks to captain. This was followed by a promotion to major in July 2000 and lieutenant colonel in April 2005. Her promotion to colonel was recognized Sept. 4 at the Pentagon's Hall of Heroes with a ceremony featuring opening remarks by Lieutenant General Loren M. Reno.
The rank of colonel, said Liddick, is usually attained after 22-25 years of active duty and is the ultimate rank attained by a majority of commissioned officers. "Only one out of 100 commissioned 2nd Lieutenants will be promoted to colonel. Of the 318,000 airmen there are approximately 4,000 colonels," she said.
Dedicated to the Air Force – and her country – Liddick is currently attending the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) at Fort McNair in Washington DC. According to Liddick, ICAF is the premier Department of Defense Joint Professional Military Education institution for national security resource management. Upon completion of the 10-month ICAF program, which covers national strategy and resources management for national security, she will earn a master of science in national resource strategy and the opportunity to advance even further.
"ICAF prepares selected military officers and civilians for senior leadership positions," Liddick said, adding, "My goal after school is to be hired as a maintenance group commander. If selected, I would lead between 1,200 to 1,800 airmen who maintain aircraft, build munitions and load weapons onto the aircraft."
Throughout her 20-year career, Liddick has supported multiple combat deployments. From August 1990 to March 1991, she serviced 212 days as a munitions officer in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Some four years later, Liddick headed off to serve two, 90-day tours as an A-10 Squadron maintenance officer for NATO Operations Deny Flight. She served in Aviano, Italy, from January to March 1994 and August to October 1994. Her most recent deployment included 101 days – from December 2003 to March 2004 – in Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean, as an Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron Commander with a B-1 bomber group during Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom.
She has been the recipient of major awards and decorations, including the Meritorious Service Medal with three oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Commendation Medal with one oak leaf cluster, an Air Force Achievement Medal, the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with Valor and 3 oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Organizational Excellence Award with one oak leaf cluster and the Air Force Recognition Ribbon with one oak leaf cluster along with the National Defense Service Medal with one bronze star, the Southwest Asia Service Medal with two bronze stars, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, an Armed Forces Service Medal, a NATO Medal, the Kuwait Liberation Medal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Kuwait Liberation Medal Government of Kuwait.
Additionally, Liddick was named USAF Lt. General Leo Marquez Munitions Maintenance CGO of the Year (1991), 17th Air Force Weapons Safety Officer of the Year (1993), USAF Fuels Officer of the Year (1997), Air Force Association Top Performer of the Year (2000) and AF/A4/7 Field Grade Officer of the Year (2007) as well as recipient of the Lance P. Sijan USAF Leadership Award, Nellis AFB (1997).
Liddick is the daughter of Frank Marquart of Westbury and Charlie Conboy of Portland, OR. Her brothers are Brian Marquart and Timothy Marquart of Westbury and Frankie Marquart of Hollywood, MD.
The Westbury native attributes her success and most recent promotion to "a lot of hard work" along with a belief in herself and what the USAF is doing. Liddick also credits friends and family, including her husband, Terry S. Liddick, a wildlife biologist pilot with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Laurel, MD.
"My husband is the one person who keeps me straight and grounded. Every day he reminds me to do my best; he is my sounding board, and my biggest critic. He keeps things in perspective," she said.
Also on Liddick's "thank you list" are those who have influenced and guided her throughout her career by providing mentorship and guidance. "During the last 20 years I have come into contact with so many exceptional officers, senior non-commissioned officers and airmen who have given me food for thought. Some of those have become an inspiration to me. In fact some of them are the reason why I am here today," she said. "Without their inspiration and example I might not have gotten this far. Without a doubt, these individuals are the most awesome professionals, friends and family that I have."
In Liddick's opinion, military service is about dedication. "It is about serving our country. I believe serving in the military requires self-discipline, dedication, hard work, physical fitness and time away from the family," said Liddick, adding that there are numerous benefits that go along with the service. "The military will provide specialized training, pay for advanced education, provide travel within the U.S. and overseas, provide full health benefits (a big plus) and a good salary. [Also], the military provides you with an extended family."
For those seeking to join the military, Liddick offers the following advice: "I say, 'go for it!' It will change your life for the better! The Air Force is a great decision for any young person looking for a rewarding and challenging job that will change their life for the better!"

CONTACT: Claire Smith, (608)
MADISON—The Department of Health Services today announced that the
federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved
Wisconsin's BadgerCare Reform waiver. The new waiver became effective
January 1, 2014 and goes through December 31, 2018.
"For the first time in our state's history, everyone living in
poverty will have access to health care through Medicaid in 2014," said
Governor Scott Walker. "Wisconsin has a long history of providing
quality care to its residents. Our reforms maintain Medicaid as a safety
net for our state's most vulnerable and ensure there is no gap in health
care coverage in Wisconsin."
"The approval of the BadgerCare Reform waiver is the last step needed
to allow us to implement Governor Walker's Entitlement Reform Plan and
provide all Wisconsin citizens with access to affordable health care,"
said Secretary Kitty Rhoades. "The Governor's reforms will strengthen
health care in Wisconsin and provide Wisconsin residents with
opportunities in the commercial health care market and will reduce
Wisconsin's uninsured rate in half."
Governor Walker's entitlement reform plan was approved and signed
into law on June 30, 2013 as part of 2013-2015 biennial budget. The
waiver allows Wisconsin to provide health care coverage through
BadgerCare Plus to all childless adults between ages 19 and 64 and who
have incomes that do not exceed 100% of the federal poverty level
beginning April 1, 2014. The budget had originally planned for the
program changes to go into effect on January 1, 2014; however, due to
challenges with the federal Health Insurance Marketplace, Governor
Walker and the Wisconsin Legislature delayed these changes by 90 days to
April 1, 2014.
Through the BadgerCare Reform waiver, Wisconsin will provide full
Medicaid benefits through the Standard Plan, including enhanced mental
health benefits, substance abuse treatment and prevention benefits, to
all adults in poverty who are enrolled in Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus.
Previously, this level of coverage had not been available to childless
Beginning April 1, 2014, the new BadgerCare Reform waiver will allow
Wisconsin to provide BadgerCare Plus health care coverage to individuals
The waiver will implement the following changes to BadgerCare Plus:

State of the Evolution - September 2014
Hello everyone!
We hope you had a great summer!
Next release
We took a little time off but we're back at fixing bugs in order to release version 5.1.2 and hopefully stick a "stable" label on it… We're a bit picky about that ;)
Update: 5.1.2 has been released!
In the meantime, please remember you can always get an up-to-date version, including the latest fixes, on Github here: https://github.com/b2evolution/b2evolution . This would be a good habit to take as we're going to update GitHub even more frequently in the future. We're also working on importing the previous project history onto GitHub (thanks to blueyed).
Are you following us on twitter already? https://twitter.com/b2evolution
Before the summer we posted quite a few interesting links about web design, front-end development and more generally: techniques to improve your website that complement the use of b2evolution. Did you find those helpful? Would you like some more?
While version 5.1.2 will remain unchanged, upcoming versions (internally "i7″ which will probably translate to "6.0″) will rely entirely on UTF-8. This is made possible because most web hosts now correctly support UTF-8 in PHP and MySQL which certainly wasn't the case when we started b2evolution.
But we're doing it not just because it's possible. We're doing it mostly because many users seem to have encoding problems as soon as they run blogs in multiple languages. By standardizing them all on a common character set — and UTF-8 is the de-facto standard for that — all those charset headaches might as well magically go away.
We also have a fallback for old web hosts that don't have native UTF-8 support, at the expense of a small performance impact.
Globally we feel that moving towards UTF-8 will help us better fulfill our mission of providing a blog/CMS platform that just works from the moment you install it and with any content you add to it.
Stay tuned for more!
State of the Evolution - July 2014
Here's a quick update on what we've been working on since the last update ;)
GitHub has become the go-to place for open source projects of all kinds. It was about time for b2evolution to be on GitHub too. We're happy to announce the new b2evolution git repository on GitHub:
This repository is already ahead of the latest 5.1.1-beta.
We are updating it weekly for now and we plan to use it as the primary development repository in the (near) future. Which means you will have extremely easy access to bug-fixes and new features in real-time as we work on them.
If you're unfamiliar with git and github, it is still very easy to download and keep up to date with this repository if you use the Git Client tool that can be downloaded from the GitHub home page.
Site Redesign
We changed our intro last month and changed it again today! There's so many possible angles to look at b2evolution that it's a bit tricky to choose one that really catches the gist of it...
We also streamlined the design some more. It's starting to look much more modern.
Anyways, as always, feedback on the homepage design is very welcome.
As a side note, let us give a plug to Font Awesome which we're now starting to use across the whole site.
Development Focus
The last month of development was very focused on performance. More specifically on reducing the number of files being loaded with each page b2evolution serves and also the size of the files.
This was achieve with several techniques:

You may already have noticed page load time improvements on this site. You will benefit from the same in b2evolution 5.1.2.
We expect to release version 5.1.2 before the end of July. We may call it "stable" instead of "beta" if it passes the tests.
Stay tuned!
b2evo 5.1.1 (beta) released
b2evolution 5.1.1-beta has been released.
Check out the Changelog + Download page »
This release is only available for download on b2evolution.net. We are no longer uploading download packages to Sourceforge. (We actually found their download process annoying because it frequently presented ads with a confusing download button which made you download an unwanted product instead of b2evolution!)
We are also planing to migrate the source code to GitHub in the near future. In the meantime we will keep updating the CVS repository on SourceForge (but only the CVS repository, not the downloads section).
Note: this release is probably completely fit for production. We just call it "beta" because we want to clean up and test some more before calling it "finished". We're just a little perfectionists like that... ;)
State of the Evolution - June 2014
You might have noticed a slight redesign of the b2evolution.net site header.
This was long overdue but was only made possible recently after we finally converted 100% of the pages of this site to be served dynamically by b2evolution.
So, now, of course, such a change is trivial as we only have the
site_header file to modify in order to achieve this. But imagine that before that, the site had grown progressively since 2003 with many pages beeing static Dreamweaver files, others being handled by other software like phpBB (now integrated into b2evolution) and many sub-domains (likes skins, plugins, etc.) being handled by spearate installs of b2evolution, spearately installed and customized by contributors on separate servers. They all had the best intentions at the time but it had turned into a maintenance nightmare.
Now everything is back on one single b2evolution v 5.1.1 install. Maintenance will be easier and evolving the global site design/architecture will be easier too.
Speaking of 5.1.1, it is already available to test in the demo section. (Note: for security reasons, the demo runs on a separate server — sorry if it's a bit slower soemtimes — but the demo homepage is on the main server).
A new downloadable release of 5.1.1 will be made available before June 15th.
A little bit of CSS
Regarding the recent design changes, you may have noticed the little triangle under the currently active main "tab" (which don't look, like tabs anymore ;):
In case you're wondering this is achieved with a little white square that is rotated by 45 degrees in CSS. The square itself is added dynamically by CSS using a
:after selector.
b2evo 5.0.9 (stable) released
b2evolution version 5.0.9-stable has been released!
Download & Upgrade instructions here »
This is a maintenance release containing fixes for all bugs discovered since version 5.0.8.
We are committed to fully address issues with v 5.0 until v 5.1 is considered completely stable.
b2evo 5.1.0-beta released
b2evolution version 5.1.0-beta has been released!
Download & Upgrade instructions here »
The general focus of this 5.1 release is to add the features we felt were missing in 5.0 that did not require deep changes to the 5.0 code and DB structure. We have been working heavily on version 6.0 in parallel.
Among quite a few new features, here are some highlights:
- Site-wide header & footer support allowing you to even quicklier build complex multi-collection sites than before. We are using this on b2evolution.net.
- Photo Albums Skin
- Goal Categories for your server side analytics
- Redesigned login screens based on twitter bootstrap (more bootstrap use to come in the next release)
- Additions and improvements to existing antispam tools
- Many small user requests
There will still be some more additions in the stable 5.1 release. If the one feature you've been desperately waiting for isn't in this beta, now is a good time to remind us! ;)

Hillsborough shelter not accepting dogs due to viruses
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (970 WFLA)-- Hillsborough County Animal Services officials are temporarily not accepting dogs for the few weeks.
Animal services officials said a new flu virus is affecting dogs at the shelter. While the virus is not contagious to people or cats, veterinarians said the only way to get rid of the virus is to quarantine all of the dogs staying at the shelter.
Over the next two weeks, the shelter will only accept dangerous, sick or injured dogs, or those that have bit someone.
"We expect this situation to last for two weeks or until the veterinarians determine that the virus has left the building," said Ian Hallett, Animal Services Director.
Animal services is asking if you are trying to turn in your own dog, please reach out to friends, family members, and neighbors even if it is just for a couple weeks. The Humane Society of Tampa Bay, other shelters, and some rescues accept owner surrendered dogs, but their space is very limited.
HCAS also said if you have found a lost dog, please try to post signs in your neighborhood and announcements on Craigslist or other community forums (e.g., neighborhood associations, etc.).
And If you have lost your dog, animal services officials said to look for your dog on our website. If you have reason to believe that your dog is in our shelter, they will arrange an escort for you to view the shelter.
Cat operations will remain the same with intake, adoptions, rescues, and returns-to-owner as usual. These viruses are not contagious to cats.
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay will offer a free vaccination clinic to protect animals from flu type viruses from to on Nov. 16 at Williams Park,

A Year in the Life of a Law Review Editor
by michael o'donnell '04
|(Illustrations by Mark Steele)
What was he thinking?
An overworked law student explains why he took on the role of law review editor in chief and reports on the adventures and misadventures that dotted the way.
"That's him! That's him—that's Charles Ogletree! What's he doing on TV? That guy owes me a law review article!" It was August 2003 and my wife and I were in a hotel room in Midtown Manhattan, in town to watch my brother race in a professional cycling event. I was up in arms because, while changing television channels, I had just discovered Ogletree—a Harvard Law professor and nationally renowned authority on criminal law and racial justice—speaking with Katie Couric on NBC's The Today Show. Although, as a law student, I might have been curious to hear what Ogletree had to say about a topical Supreme Court development, my real interest in the man had absolutely nothing to do with his television commentary.
Charles Ogletree was on my mind that morning because of his impending deadline to submit an article draft to the law review I was now in charge of running.
We called them "Ogletree sightings"—fleeting glimpses of the professor at the very moment we needed him—and they characterized the on-again, off-again relationship between the author and the journal's student editors. Professor Ogletree had an army of overwhelmed assistants who served as our contact points, and, frustratingly, was extraordinarily difficult to track down in a pinch. Yet he periodically redeemed himself by emerging after weeks of silence, submarine-like, to communicate with great proclivity about his beautifully written article to his student editor, Chanterelle Sung '04—often at unusual hours and by cell phone. "He called me at 7:30 this morning!" Chanterelle told me excitedly one day.
Professor Ogletree's demanding schedule and inconsistent hours even led me once, after an Ogletree sighting, to explore the blurry line between aggressive editor and law review stalker. I spotted him at a public interest law conference in Washington, DC; he was juggling a cup of soup and a bundle of papers, talking into his shoulder-cradled cell phone, and walking between two garrulous colleagues into a room where he no doubt was about to deliver an important lecture. I seriously considered leaping in front of him to demand that he sign off on a recent edit changing a few of his article's footnotes, but I chickened out at the last minute. What, I thought to myself as I contemplated the missed opportunity, have I become?
These are the adventures of a law review editor.
MY FIRST THOUGHT AFTER BEING elected in March 2003 as editor in chief of the Boston College Third World Law Journal was an extraordinary sense of ineptitude. The summer before my term began, as I set about planning the year ahead, full of eagerness and sharpened pencils at the ready, I began to admit many things to myself: I had no editing experience. I had no managing experience. I was not an expert in third world legal issues—I wasn't even a lawyer! How, I contemplated with a dawning sense of horror, would I manage a staff of twenty-seven and edit an academic journal of the law?
Many law review editors no doubt experience a similar sickening awakening to their own professional shortcomings as they take on the business of managing law reviews, the 350 or so student-run, scholarly publications of legal academia. Law reviews are not like the peer-reviewed journals of the natural and social sciences, edited by experts and run by professionals. Law reviews are edited and published by overworked students with virtually no expertise whatever.
My surroundings as I began chiefdom were less than auspicious. The five law reviews at BC Law are housed on the fifth floor of Stuart House, the older of the law buildings, and they share the space with law professor offices. The fifth floor is always slightly sweaty; heat rises and ventilation is poor, so the first weeks of the fall semester and the last weeks of the spring are sticky and unpleasant.
None of the review's offices is particularly lavish, but the Third World Law Journal's accommodations truly live up to their name. Our main office, in which we hold meetings and keep mailboxes with work assignments, is outfitted with old, mismatched furniture (a futon collapsed last year) and bears random wall decorations, including a dartboard and a poster of a British railway advertisement. My own office is a quite small, windowless, L-shaped room with peeling paint and a sloped ceiling. The carpet is orange and ugly. The lighting is poor, and corners are shadowy. It is an intensely claustrophobic space to occupy and I have quit it on many afternoons for the air-conditioned law library. It feels like the third world here—or at least, the law review equivalent of it.
Between these walls, I have performed my law review editor functions over the past year. I edited each article that was published in volume twenty-four of the journal's pages. I played mother to fussy law professors, boss to journal members behind on their work, and mediator to feuders and fighters of all types. I referenced well-thumbed copies of the Bluebook, which governs legal citation; the Redbook, a handbook for legal writers; and the Chicago Manual of Style. Above all, in this room, I have worked and I have worried.
Why do law students join law reviews? After all, we are notoriously busy and overworked to begin with. Further, spending evenings and weekends coddling cantankerous professors and managing an enormous volume of tedious work isn't exactly a recipe for the harmony of one's social life. Yet first-year students do persistently push for top grades and scramble to complete journal writing competitions—the two tickets to review membership at most schools—so as not to miss their chance.
I decided to join a law review for a set of fairly standard reasons. First and foremost was, frankly, the unparalleled résumé power that the experience provides. I knew I wanted a federal clerkship after law school, and that aspiration informed my choice to join a journal and to run for editor in chief. Sure enough, my future employer at the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit asked about my journal experience before anything else. We actually bonded about trying to keep one's grades up while serving as editor in chief; she had been EIC of the Iowa Law Review.
"Isn't it awful?" she asked, referring to the balancing act between EIC duties and coursework.
"I can't wait until it's over," I replied.
Another incentive that drew me to law review is the considerable writing, editing, and research experience that membership affords. In the past two years my fellow editors and I have researched and written two substantial academic articles (these are called, degradingly, "notes" and are left unsigned at particularly stodgy reviews, but not at BC Law) and become comfortable and familiar with the ways of legal scholarship. My experience on the journal has provided fully half of my legal education.
Law review, then, is a sort of institutionalized trade off in American legal education: Students line up to spend two years as the worker ants of the legal publishing world in return for prestige and employable skills. But is this a good bargain for the litigants, judges, and academics who rely on the scholarship produced by law reviews?
The answer to this question can be found in footnotes.
FOOTNOTES HAVE DOMINATED MY LIFE for the past year. On my weekend plane rides between my summer job in Washington, DC, and my Boston home last July, I passed the time reading and editing journal articles. On one ride, a passenger sitting next to me, fishing for conversation, glanced at the proportions of the paper I was reading and commented wryly, "You know you're in trouble when there are more footnotes than text on the page." I sighed and said, "Tell me about it."
My colleagues and I have labored over the rules of footnote protocol to an extent undreamed of (in the nightmare sense) by lawyers and law students who didn't serve on a journal. I'm embarrassed to admit that as I sat in the law library writing a paper for a class recently, smoothly whipping off complex footnotes without even cracking my Bluebook, I actually thought to myself that my non-law review classmates didn't stand a chance against my fearsome citation acumen, and that my professor would probably miss the nuances of my skilled performance.
The proper citation form for the Holy Bible? Mark 9:21 (King James). The number of digits a numeral requires to warrant using a comma? Five. The official abbreviation for any word in the English language that anyone ever thought of abbreviating? Brotherhood = bhd.; turnpike = tpk.; partnership = p'ship. I am an army of one.
The Bluebook serves as the handbook for the most singular feature of law review editing: the cite and substance check ("C&S" for short). This process, which every journal member at BC Law incessantly bemoans, is the most tangible manifestation of the difference between the peer review editing of other fields and student-edited law reviews. Since law students are not expert in the various strains of legal scholarship that we publish, we must verify the accuracy of the arguments made in our pages the hard way. During the C&S, we collect a physical copy of every source cited in an article—a fifty-page article usually has 200 to 300 footnotes —and check the specific material the article cites.
This process yields an extraordinary depth of intimacy between editor and article, and can shine a rather harsh light on the professors whose writing we edit. In the course of a year, we inevitably confront a sloppy article or two with poorly attributed research and careless footnote form. These we fail to correct and polish at the peril of our journal's academic reputation: As John Gordon, publication specialist at the Law School and Bluebook guru extraordinaire, puts it, "Accuracy is the currency of law reviews."
One of the articles we published recently was clearly written by an author who was accustomed to having diligent student editors fill in the gaps of his work; he had cited, in places, not to actual sources, but to cities. "He cited to Chicago!" an incredulous articles editor exclaimed to me once. "How can he cite to Chicago? What does this mean?" It meant, of course, that the author expected us to do some legwork and find the sources he had in mind. The sentence was about race riots in the twentieth century and it cited to Chicago, so the editor took a deep breath and went to the library to read up on her history.
As editor in chief, I was blessedly exempt from direct C&S responsibilities this year (although I did my share as a 2L); instead, I supervised two editors who ran the process. I did make the mistake, however, of venturing into the basement of the law library last fall to check in on the besieged C&S teams that worked, weary and short-tempered, at tables filled with impossible mountains of books.
They sat in pairs, backs bent, huddled over legal tomes, their bloodshot eyes scrutinizing the sources for accuracy. After a few quick exchanges with harried colleagues, I left, realizing that I was less a Patton helping to pep up the troops than a warily eyed sergeant-major dangerously close to a mutiny. On my way out I saw a journal member leaving the library in an unmistakable stupor. "Been C&Sing?" I asked. "Yep," she replied, "we just finished. I'm going drinking."
MY ROLE ON THE JOURNAL has dictated a solitary and sometimes isolating experience. Like all law students, I have logged an unhealthy number of hours in the buildings of my school this year, but unlike others, I passed the vast majority of that time alone, in an office, with the door closed.
Routine has sustained me. I go to bed at 9:30 p.m. and wake up at 5:30 a.m. I arrive at school every day between 6:30 a.m. and 7:15 a.m. and leave between 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. I do all my reading for classes early in the morning, leaving the afternoon free for journal work. I never work on Saturdays. I began working on Sundays sometime last October, but avoid it when I can. I cherish the weekend, when I can spend time with my wife, read a newspaper, throw a frisbee.
This familiar cycle has helped me to manage, practically as well as psychologically, a crippling amount of work. Balancing the demands of law review on top of a full law school course-load can challenge the most organized student, and at times I found myself fighting panic in my small office. I clung steadfastly to my routine at the peril of possibly falling behind and finding myself even more beleaguered.
Even my jealously guarded habits, however, have been overcome by editor-in-chief duties from time to time. I recently spent a long weekend reading each second-year journal member's "note" to begin the process of selecting four for publication in an upcoming volume. Fourteen papers averaging 40 pages each equals 560 pages (including many, many footnotes) to read and critically assess.
It was a long weekend. I kept the heavy stack of papers in a canvas National Wildlife Federation tote bag, which accompanied my wife and me virtually everywhere we went Saturday and Sunday: Mary and Mike and tote bag at the coffee shop. Mary and Mike and tote bag at the laundromat. Mary and Mike and tote bag at the park.
During these short burst-like periods of heavy work, law review duties have completely replaced the ordinary corners of my life. Not only did I miss spending quality time with Mary during the note-reading weekend, but, in addition, I had to forgo two of my simplest but most therapeutic pleasures: exercising at the gym and reading my weekly copy of The Economist. In moments like these, I know I won't miss being a law review editor.
But at other times, I suspect that I might.
THE DAY OF THE JOURNAL'S SYMPOSIUM in March was a long, tiring, and exhilarating one. It was a day-long event of panel discussions that will lead to a special issue of the journal, and it summarized everything that is great about being a law review editor. (It also captured the occasional humility: I buckled the seat-belt and tied the shoe of a professor who labored with a broken arm. When the professor meekly made the shoe request, one of his colleagues offered to oblige, but I intervened. "This kind of thing really is reserved for lowly law students," I said to laughs all around.)
Our topic, immigration law and human rights in the wake of September 11, drew a capacity crowd of students, professors, community members, and even legislative staffers—all a testament to the importance of the exciting topics the Third World Law Journal addresses.
Throughout the day, when I wasn't helping David Sterrett, the journal's symposium editor, call taxi cabs for departing professors or shuttling them to and from their hotel, I sat, enraptured, soaking up the contours of an event filled with lively debate, policy proposals, and controversial assertions—an intellectual symphony. Getting to live and breathe in the world of ideas is something that most law review members, myself included, take for granted most of the time, but that day I basked in it like warm sun.
After the event, as per the custom of BC law reviews, several senior editors and I, as well as Roz Kaplan, the matriarchal manager of all of the school's law reviews, took the symposium guests out for a night on the town. We had a lovely dinner at a local restaurant. The professors were uniformly gracious and friendly, and they put aside the trappings and pretensions of the academy to enjoy an evening with bright and excited students. We talked politics, laughed at silly law school protocols, and discussed the idiosyncrasies of the Supreme Court justices for whom the professors had clerked. I had an engrossing conversation with a professor from New York who told me about her young family. As the party lingered into the evening, the wait staff eyed us as if we would never leave.
Moments like these have profoundly humanized law professors for me. We students begin law school in fear and awe of the iconic scholars of contract and tort who baffle and toy with us in the classroom, the Socratic method their scalpel. In our second year, we are less beguiled, and by our third, we are often downright cynical, focusing on the professors' shortcomings rather than marveling at their powers and anxious simply to be done with our studies.
A relaxed and friendly evening with affable professors happily completes the circle: I was reminded at dinner that night that law professors are simply people. They can be magnanimous or surly, avuncular or childish. A law professor can interact with a student editor in the pouting, impossible- to-please tones of Professor X, with whom I corresponded daily about newly discovered comma splices and footnote additions, or Professor Y, who shared stories with me, listened to what I had to say, and reminded me to be a human being as well as a lawyer.
ONE OF MY LAST TASKS THIS YEAR has been to update the Third World Law Journal's "EIC manual" for the use of our incoming editor in chief, Audrey Kwak. Colorful lines are jumping out at me: Don't hold meetings that have no purpose, as the staff will be upset with you. Be sure to tell professors how much you enjoyed reading their article when you call to make them an offer of publication. If you can't find the answer in the Bluebook, ask John Gordon.
As chestnuts of wisdom from one law student to another, these maxims seem almost quaint; at the least, compared to the global legal and political problems that our journal tries to elucidate, they are trifles. But, as the institutional memory of a position with quick turn-over and many priorities to balance, they are, in their own way, invaluable. They are a survival guide to an impossible and incomparable year.
Audrey will be a great editor.
And I'm so glad my shift is over.

Troy King is either totally clueless or completely tone-deaf when it comes to ethics. The Birmingham News keeps finding more and more questionable situations in which Troy just happened to find himself. The latest? He accompanied the director of an advocacy group when she went to ask Roy Johnson for money. Mr. Johnson was then the chancellor for the state's two-year college system and, btw, the target of an AG's investigation. Troy has since recused himself and turned over the investigation to the St. Clair county's district attorney, and Mr. Johnson was fired before he could pay the extor— I mean, find some grant money.
Miriam Shehane, executive director of Victims of Crime and Leniency, said King accompanied her to a meeting with Johnson to ask the two-year college system to provide grant money for VOCAL.
The meeting, in March 2006, came months after the attorney general's office and federal prosecutors began investigating the two-year college system. A spokesman for King said the request was not improper because King was not asking for anything for himself.
Of course he wasn't, but his mere presence at the meeting made Ms. Shehane's request an offer Mr. Johnson couldn't refuse. Here's the man who's investigating you coming in and asking for money — even if it wasn't for himself and even if he didn't ask directly — and you think you have the option of saying no?
Shehane said she left the meeting with a good feeling about the grant, but it ultimately did not materialize. The state school board fired Johnson in July.
Or maybe Troy's not as scary as he thinks he is. I don't think Roy Johnson ever hired the mother of one of Troy's staffers, despite Troy's request that he give her a job.
Appointing Troy King has to be the worst decision Bob Riley ever made. Bob can't run for re-election in 2010, but he might want to help out his party's next candidate by getting rid of this embarrassment sooner rather than later. I hear Troy has gubernatorial aspirations himself. Please, God, tell me the people of Alabama aren't that stupid.

Immediate Release: September 29, 2004
VESTAL, N.Y. - Heading into his final collegiate season, Binghamton University senior center Nick Billings (Kodiak, Alaska) is among three America East all-stars who have caught the attention of NBA scouts, according to a recent article on CBSSportsLine.com.
Senior writer Gregg Doyel writes that Northeastern's Jose Juan Barea and Vermont's Taylor Coppenrath have attracted interest, but NBA scouts "are most intrigued by yet another America East prospect" - that being Billings.
Doyel continues about Billings:
"That would be Binghamton center Nick Billings, who is 7-feet-0, 255 pounds with springy legs, improving strength and a career average of 3.9 blocks per game - 10th in NCAA history ... While his offensive skills are improving - from 5.2 points per game as a freshman to 9.6 to 12.5 as a junior - Billings has always been able to block shots. And the NBA loves guys who can block shots ... NBA scouts took a good look at Billings this summer at the Nike All-America Camp, where he was a counselor. He took part in scout-supervised workouts with other counselors, including North Carolina's Sean May and Arizona's Channing Frye ... "
Doyel concluded his piece with this:
"This season the NBA will honor the America East with unprecedented attention, and maybe even a first-round pick - or three."
Billings and the Bearcats open their 2004-05 season with an exhibition game against St. Rose on November 3 at the Events Center. The regular season begins with a matchup against Michigan in the opening round of the 2004 Cisco Systems Preseason NIT, November 15 in Ann Arbor.
