PDA security 101
Corporate information technology users are increasingly relying on personal data assistants (PDAs) to check e-mail, surf the Web, and a variety of other tasks. When you use PDAs for online tasks they become just as vulnerable as desktop systems to viruses, mobile code exploits, and a variety of other threats. What should organizations do to make keep their PDA users safe from the threats of the Internet?
With PDAs becoming ubiquitous, the same threats that affect desktop users are starting to affect PDAs. The biggest threats that PDA users need to be concerned typically fall into one of these six categories:
- Password theft
- Viruses and data corruption
- Data theft through line sniffing
- Theft of the PDA itself
- Mobile code vulnerabilities
- Wireless vulnerabilities

Dr. Heeren is an advocate for children and their families. He believes children grow and develop best when the entire family is well.
"I want to partner with parents to promote each child's health and well-being. This includes all areas of cognitive, emotional, and physical development," Dr. Heeren says. As the father of three he understands the challenges involved in raising healthy and happy children. His background in Clinical Psychology also gives him experience working with ADHD, behavioral problems, academic difficulties and family dynamics.
"Talking to the pediatrician is often the first step parents take when their child develops behavioral problems," Dr. Heeren says. "I can help families by recognizing and diagnosing problems. Ultimately, my goal is to connect parents with any number of resources which will benefit both child and family."
Dr. Heeren also has a special interest in asthma and allergies and has done research on these conditions. "I enjoy children of all ages," Dr. Heeren adds. "I have been told I am a good listener with a good combination of sense of humor and authority to be an effective practitioner."
As a pediatrician he treats children and adolescents from birth to age 21. He also welcomes appointments with pregnant couples seeking a pediatrician before the birth of their child.

agendas are available. In addition, we have included four recommendations that CLAJ has repeatedly identified as having high priority for a crime and justice research agenda: (1) racial disparities, (2) mass incarceration, (3) deterrence and the death penalty, and (4) crime trends.
Rather than listing the research agendas by report, broad categories needing research attention are listed, and relevant recommendations from various reports are described. There are eight categories:
understanding the nature of crime and what influences criminal behavior;
the effect of crime on victims;
deterring criminal behavior through policy, policing, community actions, and safety technologies;
detecting criminal behavior and threats to personal and global security;
enhancing the collection and forensic analysis of evidence;
advancing the application of justice;
developing effective practices for recidivism and desistance; and
improving criminal justice research, assessment, and evaluation.
References to the relevant studies are provided for each recommendation. All referenced reports can be found on the National Academies website, http://www.nationalacademies.org.
This category includes recommendations calling for baseline data collection, basic research to ascertain numerous factors, including demographic and situational ones that influence criminal behavior; risk factors for juvenile offending; extended examination of known influences, such as drugs and gambling; and the availability of firearms. These recommendations call for research on the following topics and issues:
Development and maintenance of new data collection systems for gun violence (National Research Council, 2005a).
Individual-level studies of the association between gun ownership and violence as well as individual-level studies of the link between firearms and both lethal and nonlethal suicidal behavior to determine whether a causal link can be firmly established (National Research Council, 2005a).
Role of factors in prenatal, perinatal, and early infant development on mechanisms that increase the likelihood of healthy develop-

The Table
Rana spotted these Jonathan Adler candle holders in a store window on the way to dinner in Miami's design district and made Richard pull over so she could run in to get them.She picked up these posies from Passion Flowers, next to Summerhill Market, and tinted the water to match the blooms. The setting was inspired by a dinner table Rana saw on a trip to Amsterdam, where the Floridas dined with the mayor at the Rijksmuseum.The Riedel stemless and stemmed glasses are the only thing the couple put on their wedding registry five years ago.

Ellen talks success and being in love on "The Oprah Show"
The recent appearance of Ellen DeGeneres on The Oprah Show was called "An Oprah Show special event" and it really was, especially in terms of lesbian visibility. As her own wife refers to her, "the most famous lesbian in the world" joined Oprah for a discussion on her career, her marriage and her O Magazine cover campaign from the past year.
Here are some choice moments:
Ellen on coming out:
When I came out, it was celebrated but reports kept reporting on the reports, and people were like 'Shut up already," but I didn't say anything.
On The Ellen Show being canceled:
No one called to say it had been canceled. I had to read it in the trades. I knew there was a possibility of losing my career, but I didn't do it for my career — I did it for me to live in my truth. There was no shame. I don't care if people approve of it or not it's who I am.
Ellen went on to say she didn't work for three years, became depressed and was running out of money. Trying to convince networks to give her a talk show was difficult because they thought that the perceived audience ("housewives") wouldn't have anything in common with an openly gay woman.
It was during these three years, however, that Ellen said she did a lot of soul searching and was able to discover who she really was, which led to where she is today — "the happiest and healthiest she's ever been."
Another reason she's so happy is her wife, Portia de Rossi, who she introduced as "the smartest, kindest, most wonderful woman that you'll ever, ever know." She affectionately refers to her as "baby" during a clip, which Oprah acknowledges and comments that the two light up when they are in each other's presence.
"I feel very fortunate, very lucky that I found that connection," Ellen said of Portia. Portia then told the story of how she knew she was interested in Ellen, and subsequently decided to come out:
It took me 3 years to actually tell her how I felt about her because i was on Ally McBeal at the time, not living as an openly gay person. I was closeted and very very afraid that if i talked about being gay, it would be the end of my career so I wasn't about to then date the most famous lesbian in the world."
We met socially and felt immediate draw. We did talk a little bit and then over those three years we saw each other at parties or various things, but the one time that was the most significant during a photoshoot. I walked over to say hello to her and, I couldn't believe it, but she turned around and it was like an arrow shot through my heart. I was weak at the knees, overwhelmed with how I felt. It took me 10 months to do anything about it.
Ellen said she'd had feelings for Portia, but didn't know it was reciprocated. Finally, Portia told her, and it was love.
It's been over a year since Ellen and Portia became married, and before showing behind-the-scenes clips of their ceremony, Oprah asked them why it was so important to be able to call each other "wife." Portia explains:
It's a legal stamp of validity. It's hard to know it feels until it happens. I hope everyone gets to have that feeling. The thing about being a gay couple is that, in the past, you referred to your wife and there was quotation marks around it and people could snicker about it. Now, it's fact, it's law — she's my wife. I get to say she's my wife and it's a fact.
Ellen then said, "It feels like your home, your anchor and safety. I'm going to be with her until the day I die and I know that."
It's all incredibly adorable, heartwarming and followed up by video of them preparing for their wedding day, where Ellen can't stop saying "Oh my god" upon seeing Portia in her gown.
The show ends with highlights of Ellen's success and the great fun she has with her show and current career. Not only is her talk show successful, but her endorsements of products such as CoverGirl and American Express have proven to be incredibly profitable as well. No wonder she's so happy!
The O issue with Ellen and Oprah on the cover hits newsstands this week, and there's also an interview and photo spread of Ellen inside. And, as an added bonus, the comedian was also able to take over the column that Oprah herself normally writes: "What I know for sure." And what does Ellen know for sure? You can actually read it online now, but one of the things she knows for sure is:
I would never change any of the hard times I went through in my life. Because it was in those times that I grew the most and gained the most perspective.
The fact that both Ellen and Portia are speaking so candidly about their relationship and the importance they place on their marriage is such a great thing for lesbian visibility. I appreciate that they've been given the platform to talk about the normalcy of their relationship, and the love they feel for one another. Oprah, despite not always being agreeable to many, is a champion of gay and lesbian rights, and I loved the episode. Can't wait to get my copy of O in the mail.

My method is the same as neilframer's. Even on large pieces, I don't get these pesky ripples. The most common cause of those ripples even if you do it "right" is having the long sides bow, so I brace anything above 24". On smaller pieces I make corner braces so I don't have to fuss with exact measurements, but for larger ones, a cross-brace is a must.
In your case I would try to undo a corner where the ripples are closest and try again, making sure to pull towards the corner as well. Sometimes that does the trick rather than having to redo the whole thing.

Southland" remains a stand-out series for its gritty, on-the-street scenes of police work and the engrossing stories of its characters.
For the most part, though, what we see and hear is all we're allowed to know, and it's enough, just as the accumulation of moments in a fly-on-the-wall documentary are enough to make us feel for the subjects.

Apr 25, 2013I'm astounded at the low number of reviews for Southland. It is one of the very few T.V shows that can leave you sitting stunned at what you have just seen. Maybe Breaking Bad at its best does as well. Episode 9 in particular is truly edge of your seat stuff. The character development and performances are simply outstanding. It is the most gripping show currently in production and deserves at least another season… Expand
Feb 26, 2013Southland, Season 5. This show has (quietly) become one of only two scripted dramas I am excited about watching each week while most of my favorites have been cancelled and the ones that haven't continue there decline into programs I watch out of nostalgia (loyalty?) rather than anticipation. I am amazed that a show with so many main characters I dislike (Adams, Bryant, Sherman) continues to engage.… Expand
Feb 14, 2013This year's premiere, while fantastic, wasn't quite as gut-wrenching as the last few years' have been. That being said, Southland is still the best cop show on TV. The premiere seems to be setting up a season with heavy character development, but that's not to say that it won't be heavy on action as well (full riot gear in the first episode is a good sign). The writers are pushing our heroes (or anti-heroes?) closer to the edge again, and it's not really a question of if someone will slip, but a question of who and when.… Collapse
Feb 14, 2013It was a different season premiere, it was still entertaining. The thing that I was glad about was how Officer John Cooper was back in classic form. Obviously he was different last season because he was just out of rehab, but still. This is his season 1 style in season 5 taking his boot by the balls.… Expand
May 22, 2013Some one rescue this show, AGAIN! each season has grown denser in story, character and nuances. Non-aligned and non-compromising black, white and grey cop procedural will now be sorely missed as its cable buddies bounce it out in favour of Dallas!.. HBO Sundance or Showtime, get your finger out and rescue this show
from executive's heads buried in the Californian desert sand. They rescued the show no denying that, but look at what it has become.… Expand
Jun 2, 2013great show, but things fell apart in this season as the show was obviously getting cancelled and the writers just had a ball. this show was one of the most immediately and apparantlly credible experiences on tv. "its all just a circus" was a good quote, and one thats been left with me after this show has ended.
southland is like a "real life version" of cops; however this season was a circus that kind of fell in on itself. previous seasons were like being there in the streets of LA as the places darkest streets ran across some of its most fatigued minds.
any season of southland is good. but the rest of them were great and this one is a duty rather than a pleasure.
solid 7. the rest of this series is 8s and 9s.… Expand

About Claudia Moore
I have been vacationing here 30 years and I live in Denver, CO from Nov. to June and Christmas Cove the rest of the time. I am in the construction business and I had an Amish family in the building business from PA work from my plans to build the shell of this spec home. I had met them several years earlier when they came to Maine to build a 6 car barn/ studio/ loft on the island. Their work is so precise from hand hueing the 12x12 beams to using no nails, only pegs.
My tipical day is 9 holes of golf in early morning and then home to a bit of business and gardening before I head off to lunch with friends and relatives. Back in time for a tennis match and then cook a gourmet dinner for friends.
Claudia Moore purchased this house in 2006
Why Claudia Moore chose South Bristol
I built this Amish home as a spec home and can't seem to part with it.
What makes this house unique
The island-CONNECTED BY SWING BRIDGE is great for walking, biking, fishing, golf, tennis and especially enjoying all the fresh sea food like clams, oysters, mussles, lobsters, scallops and swordfish. Our home is know on the island for being able to host the largest parties. Every year we have a 'make your own pizza' party for 40 friends and relatives. Then there are the normal lobster and clam dinners for family reunions.

Since life has been crazy the last 48 hours (nothing serious, just life), I missed posting the Tuesday Health article. So, today, I am combining the Tuesday Health article with the Wednesday Minimalism article. Please leave your favorite "Call Me Lazy" line in the comments! Also, check out my new article over at The Minimalist Path : Simplify Your Desktop
Soon after beginning my running career, and by that I mean amateur-not-so-fast-huff'n-and-puff'n running career, I learned of barefoot running. Quickly, I became intrigued. I started reading about the surprisingly many barefoot runners there were. Needless to say, I set some barefoot goals.
Now, mind you, I am no Barefoot Geek, but I have enjoyed the freedom to wander aimlessly without shoes. I tried, as often as mom would allow, to live a barefoot life as a kid. I usually got injured, but quickly jumped back up. Entering the world of barefoot running is a completely different tale.
Before I continue, let me note that this is just my experience with implementing the minimalist running aspect. My favorite barefoot runner quote came from a fellow marathoner who said to me, "I had to choose between marathon fee's and shoes. They are both expensive so I went went marathon fee's." I think implementing this running technique is difficult, but can be done if you really want. So, read on with caution as blood and blisters will soon become a part of the tale.
First, I learned more than 99% of people about my own two feet. You think you know your feet, than you meet a barefoot runner and you quickly realize you don't. Your feet rule your life. Your feet tell your body how to live. Sound strange, this article is only going to get stranger.
When you run with shoes on, your foot, ankle, leg, hips, torso, and head all work together. Unfortunately, we did not evolve with Nike's for protection. We evolved to walk on our bare feet. So, if you look at your feet as they are right now, they are unhealthy. I am not talking about the fungus. I am talking about the formed structure we have molded them into. Your feet look like shoes. Shoes are made to fit the general man or woman. Too bad we are general because we all have different feet and body structures which means we should all have different shoe structures. Well, Nike isn't coming to my place anytime soon to make the perfect shoe for me. Without the help of a perfectly fit and molded shoe, which is IMPOSSIBLE for any shoe company, the safest and healthiest mode of two foot transportation is the bare foot variety.
Here are a few links to see the positives to barefoot running…AWESOME READS, trust me:
- Runner's World – Should You Be Running Barefoot?
- Barefoot Ted's Adventures – Barefoot Running
- Barefoot Julian – Why Run Barefoot?
- Wikipedia - Barefoot Running
Moving forward, back in July 2008, I started training to run a 5k barefoot. This was in the middle of the summer in Phoenix Arizona. So I thought I was really going to test the limits. I trained running on a track barefoot after 6 mile runs daily. The asphalt and cement was 130 degrees so it was necessary I stick to the track for the barefoot portions. When I did end up running the 5k race in August 2008, I ended up being a huge hit. Kids were dumbfounded and their parents wanted to keep their dumbfounded kids away from the strange, tall and lanky man. The downside was the course for this race was at South Mountain Park in Phoenix which is half decent road covered with pebbles and half eroded concrete. The tape I wrapped my feet in didn't help much. I ran a steady pace and finished the 3.1 miles in about 23 minutes barefoot (Results Here : Males 18-24). I was cheered on throughout the race by other runners and the crowd and one runner slowed his pace to mine near the end and said I was an inspiration. I don't know if inspiration fits as much as crazy, but I will take the encouragement anyways. I left the race with bloody legs and blood blisters because my feet were not trained for the terrain, but I also left having challenged myself.
After training and racing barefoot, I have some feedback and suggestions. I think barefoot running is the best thing since slice bread when done properly. It is extremely healthy if done properly. I didn't train on the proper surface so I deserved the punishment, but it can be done. During the P.F. Chang's Marathon in Phoenix this year, I ran with a barefoot runner who had run 120+ marathons barefoot and was about 55. Running barefoot will improve your knee, hip, joint problems. I felt so much better after running barefoot during training. I was back to running how I was supposed to be running, unimpeded. My strong suggestion is to use the following instead of barefoot running at first…
I have worn Vibram Five Fingers for 5 months now and they have lengthened my Achilles, flattened my foot back to it's original structure, improved my horrible ankle stability, and much much more. Here is a link to an article by Tim Ferriss that explains the benefits into SMART PEOPLE detail…click here.
My current status of running technique involves shoes. I would love to implement barefoot running more often, but the time and focus can be overwhelming. I currently where my Vibram Five Fingers whenever I walk out the door…for the most part. I plan on getting a pair of the sprints and try them for the shorter distance races in the near future.
Last point. Minimalism can be brought into any and all aspects of life. The question that you must ask yourself is whether or not you want to sacrifice and suffer to live the simple life that minimalism allows.

Controversial Quotes From 8 of History's Most Revered Heroes
Even our most beloved heroes and idols sometimes say things that surprise and disappoint us. (We're looking at you, Tiger Woods.) Occasionally someone might be present to record the deed and blab it all over the world. Other times our heroes pull a Joe Biden and incriminate themselves in official speeches or letters.
With the proliferation of social media, expect that kind of thing to happen more frequently.
Of course, it's also true that some of those with great talent, wealth and promise also have rotten characteristics, sometimes openly and sometimes more disguised and overshadowed by their contributions. Here we take a brief survey through time of both groups, those movers and shakers who perhaps made a rare slipup and those who had a dark side that isn't necessarily widely known.
Mahatma Gandhi
In a letter to Hitler, Gandhi wrote: "We have no doubt about your bravery or devotion to your fatherland, nor do we believe that you are the monster described by your opponents."
One of the most revered figures of the 20th century, Indian leader and holy man Gandhi championed nonviolent resistance to oppression. He led his people to freedom from British colonial rule, inspiring generations of peace and civil rights activists. But Gandhi was also human, and he held some beliefs that may surprise even his admirers.
A devout Hindu, Gandhi was dedicated to the caste system ingrained in the culture of the time -- so much so that his famous hunger strike began not to protest British atrocities, as immortalized in the Ben Kingsley movie, but actually to oppose greater rights for the lowly Untouchables caste. British doctors criticized Gandhi for allegedly letting his wife die of pneumonia, because he refused to allow her to receive penicillin, believing it to be an alien Western treatment. Yet not long after that, he gladly accepted quinine to fight his own case of malaria.
Much has been made by some critics of Gandhi's letters to Adolf Hitler. True they had a common enemy in the form of the British Empire. But the Indian leader was not nearly the Nazi sympathizer he is sometimes made out to be. In fact he wrote to Hitler only to ask him to stop his violent campaigns. Contemporary scholars argue that the respectful tone Gandhi used was both in keeping with his own emphasis on friendliness, and the fact that he wanted to appear proper, being from a developing country addressing a world leader of the time. Still, saying anything nice to or about Hitler is going to piss off a lot of people.
Even so, in the same letters to Hitler, Gandhi wrote, "But your own writings and pronouncements and those of your friends and admirers leave no room for doubt that many of your acts are monstrous and unbecoming of human dignity, especially in the estimation of men like me who believe in human friendliness. Such are your humiliation of Czechoslovakia, the rape of Poland and the swallowing of Denmark."
Rev. Jesse Jackson
"That's all Hymie wants to talk about, is Israel. Every time you go to Hymietown, that's all they want to talk about."
A leading voice for civil rights, Jesse Jackson got his start in the circle of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Jackson has campaigned tirelessly for minority rights and other oppressed people in America and abroad, and was twice a candidate for president of the U.S. He has also not been without controversies, extra-marital relations, what some consider shameless self-promotion, and occasionally supporting unpopular positions (such as downplaying the impact of Sept. 11 and throwing environmentalists under the bus in the Everglades, in an alliance with Big Sugar).
Jackson is known to shoot from the hip, causing a sensation when a live Fox News mic picked him up saying he wanted to "cut [Barack Obama's] nuts out." Jackson eventually came out in support of the first African-American president, but his bizarre tirade and lukewarm early support suggested political rivalry. Still, it is perhaps his insensitive 1984 remarks about Jews in New York City, relying on an old slur, that are most disturbing from a civil rights figure.
Charles Darwin
"I am quite conscious that my speculations run quite beyond the bounds of true science."
Originally, this piece had used the following quote, but as a commenter pointed out below, it actually has been mistakenly attributed to the great scientist: "The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an improved theory, is it then a science or faith?" In fact this is a misworded quote from L. H. Matthews, writing in an introduction to Origin of Species (and writing "unproved" not "improved.")
Darwin did write the first quote about "true science," though it is not the smoking gun many creationists might hope. Instead, in a letter to a colleague, Darwin was discussing a particular detail that he didn't have much evidence on, not a central tenet of evolution.
In fact Darwin was a highly thoughtful person, who contributed some wonderful quotes on a variety of subjects. "A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth," he once said. Darwin also struggled with self-doubt and wavering confidence in his own abilities. ("It has been a bitter mortification for me to digest the conclusion that the 'race is for the strong' and that I shall probably do little more but be content to admire the strides others made in science.") He was also dismayed by the popular outrage to his work: "We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act," he said.
James Madison
"Democracy is the most vile form of government ... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."
With the legacy of the Cold War and the rise of modern terrorism, it would seem unthinkable to hear a U.S. president wax so negative about democracy, something all Americans are expected to cherish and support spreading through the world. But the fourth president of the country, and a bona fide Founding Father, dropped a heck of a bombshell.
Madison had been a key leader in Congress, where he drafted many of our early laws. He was largely responsible for the first 10 amendments to the Constitution and is often called the "Father of the Bill of Rights." Madison was afraid of a tyranny of the majority, which is why he was so dedicated to checks and balances and guarantees of individual rights. It's perhaps not surprising that a leader would be opposed to unfettered democracy, but in the language of modern politics few mainstream politicians can be so honest.
"What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ." -- in a speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs, May 12, 1779
In today's heated debate over separation of church and state, it would seem unthinkable for a president to argue that Christianity -- or any religion -- would be the basis for all public education. (Then again, we did just come through the Bush administration.)
Of course, the 18th century was a different era, but it may still surprise people to learn that one of the great fathers of our nation was so dedicated to religious thinking.
Ty Cobb
"Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."
Ty Cobb, known as "The Georgia Peach," is often remembered as one of the greatest ever to play the game of baseball. The Hall of Famer and multiple-record holder also had a savage temper and a dark past, marinated in his poor, rural South upbringing and probably worsened by the fact that his mother fatally shot his father.
Cobb bragged to have killed a would-be mugger. (The facts aren't too clear.) He was constantly getting into fights with people of all races and walks of life, once even beating his son with a bullwhip after receiving news of poor college performance -- though it's true that a number of his attacks seemed to have been racially motivated. Cobb once climbed into the stands and savagely beat a disabled spectator who had called him a "half-n*****," even though the man essentially had no hands. Cobb was also sued by a black chambermaid, who said she was hospitalized with serious injuries after the ball player savagely beat her. Apparently Cobb thought she had acted "uppity" after he called her by a racial slur.
In a well-publicized case Cobb slapped a black elevator operator, also apparently for being "uppity." When a black night watchman intervened, Cobb pulled out a knife and stabbed him. The matter was settled out of court, but in response to the incident an unrepentant Cobb uttered the quote above.
As he aged Cobb seemed to mellow out, and he did support integrating baseball before the process was complete. He showed admiration for accomplished black ballplayers and eventually tried to distance himself from racism.
Mother Teresa
"I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing -- direct murder by the mother herself."
In the process of becoming a saint since her death in 1997, Mother Teresa is often cited as the humanitarian people most admire. To be sure, she devoted her life in service to the bitterly poor of Calcutta. But she also had a darker side, according to some critics.
In her Nobel Prize acceptance lecture, Mother Teresa indicted abortion as the most evil force in the world. While, of course, the practice is highly controversial and is officially opposed by the Catholic Church, it requires a fanatical fixation on it to believe it worse than aggressive wars, genocides, brutal dictators and perhaps even poverty. In fact a number of observers have argued that Mother Teresa herself could be considered at least partly responsible for the spread of AIDS and the perpetuation of poverty, since she strongly opposed any efforts to promote contraception or population limits.
Noted Mother Teresa critic Christopher Hitchens said, "It was by talking to her that I discovered, and she assured me, that she wasn't working to alleviate poverty. She was working to expand the number of Catholics. She said, 'I'm not a social worker. I don't do it for this reason. I do it for Christ.'" While it is perhaps unfair to criticize the motivations behind her charitable work, it is also probably not what her secular admirers would want to hear. Recent critics have also alleged that Mother Teresa's use of donated funds wasn't always transparent, and that she shouldn't have spoken positively of Haiti's corrupt Duvalier since she had accepted money from his family.
Abraham Lincoln
"That the Writ of Habeas Corpus is suspended in respect to all persons arrested, or who are now, or hereafter during the rebellion shall be, imprisoned in any fort, camp, arsenal, military prison, or other place of confinement by any military authority by the sentence of any Court Martial or Military Commission." -- official presidential proclamation
During the troubled early days of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln declared martial law. In 1861 he ordered the suspension of the constitutionally protected right to the writ of habeas corpus for Maryland and parts of the Midwest. (Meaning suspected enemies of the state could be picked up and put in jail indefinitely, without being charged with a crime or even informed of what the charges were.) After a Maryland secessionist was arrested, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Roger B. Taney defied Lincoln and demanded that the man be brought before his court. The military refused to honor the writ, prompting the judge to rule Lincoln's order unconstitutional. Yet the president ignored that and denied captured Americans their rights anyway.
On Sept. 24, 1862, President Lincoln issued the proclamation that suspended the right to writs of habeas corpus nationwide. It is perhaps shocking to learn that one of our greatest leaders was willing to set aside the very Constitution he was charged with defending, even during war.

The Darwin passage is both misquoted and misattributed. It should be "unproved" -- not "improved" -- and it is not from Darwin but from L. H. Matthews's introduction to his edition of the Origin. See http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/six-things-darwin-never-said.

Your quote about Madison is absolutely true however Madison was correct in his assessment that a Democracy is a vile form of government. USA is not a Democracy but a Republic, in a Republican form of govt, power is distributed and there are checks and balances. In a Democracy the power is concentrated in the mob and will of a mob comprised of a simple majority at THAT MOMENT" can trample any individual's life and liberty.

@Glenn Branch: I suppose the irony of your fanatical devotion to the Religion of Darwin is entirely lost upon you. But let me clarify something for you: Darwin himself thought "evolution" was a stupid and erroneous concept. Darwin espoused Natural Selection, which is something entirely different from "evolution".
Wednesday 09 December
By Ray
That is, in fact quite incorrect.
Darwin's theory of evolution is comprised of three main components.
1.Variation exists among a population, and that variation is inheritable. (Though he did not know the mechanism at the time- we would now call it genetic variation.)
2. More offspring are born among the population than can survive to reproduce themselves.
3. In general terms, those that do survive will tend to survive because they possess some trait that makes them better adapted to their environment. (For example, a darker fur colour that creates better camoflage.)
Consequently, over time and hundreds of generations, organisms become better and better adapted to their environments, while unfavourable traits work their way out of the gene pool because those who possess them do not survive to reproduce.
To say that Darwin didn't believe in Evolution, he believed in Natural Selection is at best misleading. Natural selection is the mechanism and evolution the process. The theory itself is quite simple.

@Maven. I'm sorry to have to disagree with you. Evolution is real and Darwin clearly espoused it. It was by the process of natural selection that every living thing on earth evolved. If you are broad minded enough to really look for evidence of evolution, I'd recommend starting here: http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Show-Earth-Evidence-Evolution/dp/1416594787/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260402463&sr=8-1

"American schools" does not mean "public schools" and "above all" does not mean "basis for". I'm not surprised to read a quote like that, I'm disappointed by the distortion of it.

I always find it amusing when an individual assumes his own biased opinion is a reflection of the beliefs of the masses. What an original idea, treated in such unoriginal fashion. This is truly a disappointment. Try keeping your own opinions and characterizations out of it next time - your lack of logic is truly astounding and makes this article quite forgettable.

Darwin was discussing a particular detail that he didn't have much evidence on, not a central tenant of evolution.
I think you mean to say, "not a central tenet of evolution"

Abraham Lincoln did not set aside the Constitution. Suspension of habeas corpus is, in fact, built in to the Constitution.

If a man with a crooked stick who hits a ball, walks after it, and then hits it again is your hero...you have problems. If you want him to be your role model to become a successful golfer, you got it right.
Celebs should not be heroes to anyone as much as the media would like to make people think otherwise.

Well I am not a big fan of Gandhi myself but the reliability of this article receives a serious jolt when it says that Gandhi fought against greater rights to Untouchable castes.Gandhi always fought for caste equality and greater rights to the so called untouchables.He also named them Harijan(Men of God).Such was the concern of Gandhi towards the so called lower caste people.

"A devout Hindu, Gandhi was dedicated to the caste system ingrained in the culture of the time -- so much so that his famous hunger strike began not to protest British atrocities, as immortalized in the Ben Kingsley movie, but actually to oppose greater rights for the lowly Untouchables caste."
Actually, I'm pretty sure he went on the fast to protest the British setting up a separate electorate for the "untouchable" caste... In the end, he succeeded in getting all castes a vote in the same electorate. He wasn't protesting equal-rights...he was protesting segregation.
"We do not want on our register and on our census untouchables classified as a separate class,'' declared Gandhi in his statement of protest. "I would far rather that Hinduism died than that untouchability lived. I will not bargain away the rights of the Harijans for the kingdom of the whole world. I cannot possibly tolerate what is in store for Hinduism if there are two divisions set up in every village.'' MK Gandhi

Healthy Habitats
Healthy habitats are essential to ensure the continued existence of all living things.
- What are habitats?
- What is important about habitats?
- What are some threats to different habitats?
- How can we protect our habitats?
Find out more about habitats here:
Talk Homework:
Talk to someone at home about what you know about habitats. What are they? Can you answer some of the key questions above? Explore the websites to find out more and write your thoughts below.
Some threats to habitats are:
deforestation of bamboo.
global warming.
poisoning and making rivers dirty.
We can protect habitats by:
putting litter in the bin.
stop poaching.
stop cutting down trees.
Super ideas Joe!
Miss Rebecca
A habitat is where animals live and it is important that we do everything we can to protect these areas. Some ways we can protect these areas is to :
Treat the animals properly
Looking after the environment by not cutting down too many trees,over developing areas and using sensible design methods.
Not polluting the water ways and over fishing.
Habitats are where plants and animals live. I think its interesting that there are 100's of different types of habitats.
I picked Taiga habitat to talk about because it also happens to be my cousin's name! Taiga is also the Russian word for forest. It is also the largest land habitat in the world. It's a northern zone of forest of Christmas tree type trees (coniferous) stretching right around the planet from Alaska to Siberia! Its important because it filters millions of litres of water everyday and the trees help remove carbon dioxide from the air and change it to oxygen. The biggest threat to taiga is deforestation or people cutting down too many of the trees. Also pollution (people littering and dumping garbage), global warming and forest fires can also be threats to taiga. The best way we can help protect taiga is to recycle more often so we reduce the need for paper and other things that come from the taiga trees so that we don't have to cut any more trees down.
dangers to habitats are deforestation, pollution, litter and oil spillsPublished on Thursday, May 17, 2012 Like

'ANIMAL AID NICKS WICKES' - Coverage in the Sun
Posted 1 May 2002
The following coverage of our Focus campaign appeared in the City section of the Sun newspaper on Monday 1st May 2002.
Britain's biggest animal rights group is urging City investors to boycott the flotation of DIY chain Focus Wickes.
Animal Aid says Focus sells exotic fish mass-bred in factory farms overseas or taken from their natural habitat.
The activists have already persuaded the chain to stop selling reptiles, wild birds and mammals. Animal Aid director Andrew Tyler said the production, capture and transport of fish led to a great deal of disease and death. He told Sun City:
"The particular problem with the sale of animals by Focus is that the glossy environment encourages impulse buys, leading to more irresponsible purchases and much additional suffering. All the evidence points to fish being capable of suffering stress and pain."
Focus Wickes shares will be limited to big City investors at this summer's float. Mr Tyler said the cruelty campaign, which has included in-store demonstrations, would continue until all animal sales stop. He said the company had a duty to tell investors of the battle in its prospectus.
Sun City reported yesterday that Focus Wickes chairman Bill Archer's stake would be valued at £300million in the flotation.

A hazard to the road that puts the drivers of smaller vehicles at serious risk in case of an accident with one of these monsters. Seriously folks, I drive a 96' 2 door Pontiac GrandAm. What the hell do you think would happen if I got in a wreck with a Hummer!? Gets about 9-12 miles per gallon, and big rich men with sunglasses talking on a cell phone can be frequently seen driving them. Occasionally you will see the top of a woman's head over peering over the dashboard and two skinny arms reaching up to the wheel.

Dortmund's Hummels back for Nurnberg game
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is set to welcome Mats Hummels back into his side for the visit of Nurnberg on Saturday.
The Germany international has played only once since November due to injury, but he is set to return this weekend when Klopp needs to find a replacement for the injured Sven Bender and suspended Marco Reus, along with the regular absentees Neven Subotic, Ilkay Gundogan and Jakub Blaszczykowski.
"He's been training normally since Wednesday and I presume everything's fine," said Klopp at a press conference.
After Sokratis Papastathopoulos suffered a knock in the 4-2 Champions League win over Zenit St Petersburg in midweek, Klopp will be particularly hopeful Hummels will make it with his one wish for 2014 - of picking up no more injuries - already out of the window.
Instead, Klopp is now hoping his side will cope with the losses the way they did on Tuesday and not like last Saturday, when they lost 3-0 to Hamburg.
"We've got to put things right in the Bundesliga," Klopp said. "But Nurnberg warrant our respect.
"They've played an excellent second half of the season and will receive our maximum attention, and ideally our maximum performance."
Nurnberg have turned the corner in 2014 with four wins out of five games having gone the entire first half of the season without a single victory.
"I'm pleased with the progress we're making," said coach Gertjan Verbeek. "But with every game, the doubts as to how long things can go on like this increase.
"We're only Nurnberg. We don't have so many good players."
Two of those - Daniel Ginczek and Timothy Chandler - are out injured, probably for the rest of the season, while Per Nilsson is suspended on Saturday.

Peaceful September
What a lovely cottage! We arrived home tonight and so wish we were still feeding the fire at Morningside and enjoying the cool, refreshing September air off the lake. Not one complaint. Everything was as stated and more. Comfy beds, plenty of linens, warm blankets, well equipped kitchen (esp. loved having a dishwasher) and options galore for sitting outside on the porch, deck or along the shore. We kayaked out to the island and were delighted to see the huge eagle nest and two eagles. A very nice place to be in September - the lake was very quiet.
Relaxing and Romantic
We were looking for a quiet, relaxing, romantic spot for two, and this spot on Parker Pond was the perfect place. We enjoyed so many parts of the property and rarely wanted to leave. From the dock on the picturesque pond, to the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit, to the lovely open kitchen area, to the many other charming and comfortable spots within the house, we were extremely satisfied. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, etc. and we cooked almost all of our meals at the house without needing to bring or buy anything other than our food. The pond was beautiful and quiet and amazing for swimming and relaxing. The only suggestions for improvement are the downstairs area and the canoe. We did not need to use the downstairs area (where the bunk beds and extra 1/2 bathroom were located), but it had a stuffy, basement smell. The canoe was not in good condition and cracked during our stay. Overall, we had an amazing time and definitely recommend it. The location is more beautiful than the pictures can capture. We saw loons and bald eagles almost every day on the pond. As the Maine slogan goes, it is the way life should be. We are still missing it!
Arrive care free with everything you will need !
My family and friends rented this home for 3 nights and now know we will rent longer next time. We arrived at home and we were so pleasantly greeted with a clean house and it even smelled clean. The beds were comfy and having two kitchens and two living rooms was ideal for the 7 of us. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed all there was to offer. The house has two kayaks and a peddle boat with was so fun. There's a shed filled with life jackets ,floats, noodles and even the long sticks for s'mores ! I brought my 20ft bow rider and barely had to secure it against the dock because the water is calm . We really enjoyed taking boat out to the basin which is big enough to shut engine and jump out and swim. We did venture out to the big lake as well. In regards to groceries the Walmart is very close so not hard to run out for last minute things. One of the nights we went out to dinner in Raymond to a really great Mexican restaurant called A La Mexicana. Delicious ! The whole area was beautiful and peaceful. Our favorite thing at night was laughing and talking around the fire pit. The last night of our stay I asked all my family and friends if they would consider this rental again. Everyone answered immediately with a solid YES !!!
