text: Can someone tell me what is the difference between all these models? I love how the XD subcompact 40 fits in my hand. But I haven't shot any XD yet. I am still in the learning phase and hopefully will be shooting one/some soon. But I can't really find anywhere that tells the difference between them all. Or is it just newer models, so they add a letter after it, to show it has been updated/upgraded in some way. Also, each seem to have slight variations of barrel length. Why have a 3" and a 3.3"? Does it really matter that much? Anyhow, thanks for the info. Joe

Court strikes down Michigan ban on race in college admissions
Posted By aaron On July 1, 2011 @ 2:06 pm In constitution,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Jennifer Chambers and Oralandar Brand-Williams
Detroit News
July 1, 2011
Detroit— Michigan's ban on using race and gender as a factor in admission to public colleges and universities was overturned today by a federal appeals court, which said the voter-approved measure harms minorities and is unconstitutional.
The 2-1 decision struck down Proposal 2, the 2006 law that had forced the University of Michigan and other state schools to revise their admission policies. The judges ruled that the law violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
The court in particular objected to the inclusion of the voter-approved ban in the Michigan Constitution in its 59-page ruling.
"Proposal 2 reorders the political process in Michigan to place special burdens on minority interests," judges R. Guy Cole Jr. and Martha Craig Daughtrey said.

The rapid growth of the field of behavior modification has caused two problems. The first is that the practitioner cannot look to professional groups for guidelines for ethical practice ; this means of behavior change has not been practiced long enough or by a large enough group of practitioners to be specifically referred to in codes of ethics. The second problem brought about by the swift development of behavioral technology is that persons served by educational institutions control educational practices through their representatives in state legislatures and on school boards, yet know dangerously little about the processes or theoretical foundations of behavior modification. Knowledge has simply not existed long enough to have become general knowledge in society. Behavior modification techniques seem contrary to sound psychological or educational practice because they break so thoroughly with previous psychological tradition.

In addition to the 6-inch color OLED-based DR-570, the company reportedly has a second e-book reader up its sleeve. The DR-950 has a larger 9-inch grayscale 1024x768 touchscreen and weighs around 12 ounces. Neither e-book will arrive in the first half of 2010 though, the sources said.
The company also has several new 12.1-inch Eee PCs lined up, one of which features an Athlon Neo MV-40, Radeon HD 3200, a six-hour battery, and should launch next month. Others will supposedly use Nvidia's Ion 2 graphics chip with Intel's Pine Trail platform and are expected to appear sometime in April.

My Email Digests
I have a 3 year old girl and with out getting to much in to the mess, i have a problem. My daughter splits her time between my self and my ex. the issue is that he will not communicate with me except by email and then its only to say if she needs a bath ect. When I drop her off at daycare some times she has a very hard time when I leave her. The daycare is saying she does not do that when her father drops her off. I am not sure what is going on here. please let me know what you guys think. i have tried to ask her father about these types of things and it just turns to a fight (both of us are guilty of this). are there any tricks or ways i can help her? she is also going through the power struggle phase.View Thread
I know I have been been not been perfect during this, rising to the bait an all. i had a chat this morning at daycare this am. she is being picked up by her father this afternoon so i passed some information on her behavior and spoke with her and her friend about treating each other nicely. hopefully the day care can pass this stuff to my ex and he will take it better than if i tell him.
thanks again for help and support! I am going to try the single parents forum now!
feeling not so alone in this with your help. while i do have a partner now, its still a matter for myself and my ex to get through. In my partner my daughter has a friend and listener for when she doesn't want to or feel comfortable speaking to her father or myself. hopefully that will help her now and for the rest of her life. thinking happy thoughts!View Thread
We have both taken the classes and I have no problem with him. Just cant seem to get him to come around (after over 2 years) I have given up on him ever being able to put her first in this. I have continued to give him detailed emails of how she is behaving and what we did over the week hoping he would come around. Nothing. Courts cant do anything in less there is a safety concern. I thought this was a safety issue but apparently I was wrong. I just want to make her comfortable in her self and to know we will always be there for her. I think it doesn't help that she has so many sets of different rules. home, her fathers, and day care. arg!!! at least with daycare I can get some information on how she is doing when she isn't with me. sorry I am venting now.View Thread

CARTHAGE Its been a year since the expanded Carthage Free Library reopened and the 100-year-old institution is bigger and better than ever.
Ground was broken for the 3,400-square-foot addition in September 2011. The $1.1 million project nearly doubled the librarys space and improved its heating and cooling system. A wheelchair lift, a teen room, a separate area for computers and a community room were added. The project also enlarged the childrens reading room and the Heritage Room, where historical and genealogical documents are available.
The library has hosted many new adult and childrens programs in the community room, including a monthly cooking demonstration in the kitchen area, computer instruction, weekly art classes and Lego building contests.
Library Director Linda M. McCullough said the staff is looking into ways to further use the community room.
We want to bring in people to help serve the community in different ways, she said.
The room may be used by the public for a nominal fee when it is available.
Computer and technology classes have been conducted throughout the year, and according to library board President Camelia T. Moses, many community members, especially senior citizens, have been taking advantage of them.
With the addition of a teen room, a teen group has been established. The teens have participated in many activities, including a visit to residents at the senior housing units for an evening of games, a Halloween party and movie nights.
Abigail H. Bamberg, 15, Carthage, said the group is informal and makes plans mainly on a week-to-week basis. She said future plans include a possible lock-in at the library during winter break, movie nights and an anime night in the spring.
Its just a group of teenagers like me who hang out and enjoy each others company its something fun to do out of the ordinary, Abigail said. Anyone 13 to 18 can show up Thursday nights and join in we dont discriminate.
The group meets from 5 to 8 p.m.
Another group that has become active is the Friends of the Library, a volunteer organization that provides financial support through hosting fundraisers to allow the library to purchase items not covered by its budget.
The group meets quarterly and has bake and book sales as fundraisers. Its next meeting is set for 6 p.m. Jan. 21 the library. Anyone interested in joining the group should contact Mrs. Harding at 688-3005 or by email at email@example.com.
Mrs. Harding also is the childrens activities coordinator at the library and conducts the preschool story hour on Thursdays starting at 10:45 a.m.
There are two vacant seats on the library board, which oversees the librarys operations. Anyone interested should call Mrs. Moses at 493-1523 or the library at 493-2620.

First Cymru bus travels down Swansea High Street with its warning signs on
Posted: January 21, 2014|
SWANSEA shoppers were alarmed to see a First Cymru bus travelling down Swansea High Street with its warning signs on this afternoon.
The bus was reportedly sending alarms out saying 'this bus is under attack, please call 999'.
However upon following up on the incident it turned out to be a false alarm.
A spokeswoman for First Cymru said: "The driver accidentally set off the warning signs and did not know how to turn them off. They contacted traffic control who helped them turn off the warning shortly down the road.
"This was human error and there was no drama. We apologise for any confusion caused."

The "Dry January" booze ban has grown in popularity in recent years as a way of raising money for charity while saving Brits money on alcohol, as well as the health benefits.
So, for those who want to keep up the good work once January is over, we took up an offer by The Alcohol Free Shop to put its non-alcoholic range of wine, beer and cider to the test.
Here is what the Confused.com team thought of the range of beverages on offer.
Owain Carter, content and social producer, says: "I think alcohol-free red wine is one of the most difficult to get right, so I wasn't expecting much. It smells vinegary, so I prepared myself for it to be quite tart, but instead it was quite sweet and fruity. It tastes about halfway between a proper wine and a grape juice. I drank most of the bottle in one evening, and did enjoy it." Score: 3/5
Fiona Creedon, head of advertising, says: "I was enthused by the prospect of drinking wine and not having a hangover, but unfortunately it was really acidic and didn't taste nice. After a few sips I gave up! Taste aside, it lacked the substance and depth of a normal glass of merlot. It's not something that I will be drinking in the future." Score: 1.5/5
Naphtalia Loderick, content editor, says: "I was hoping for great things as it looked good in a wine glass but unfortunately it disappointed from the very first sip. It tasted like a flat version of Schloer white grape - the sparkling juice drink. It was very sweet and tangy, not at all like a medium/dry white wine." Score: 1/5
Dave Sheldon, online marketing executive, says: "It gave me the same impression I get when opening a carton of fruit juice, a mixture of fresh apple and white grape aromas. As for the taste all I can say is that, if I hadn't poured it out of a wine bottle I would not have known it was wine." Score: 1/5
David Rendell, digital marketing assistant, says: "I really liked this beer and I thought it didn't lose any of the taste from being alcohol-free. It is quite sharp and there is a small difference in the aftertaste from a real beer, but I would happily pay for it in a bar." Score: 4.5/5
Adam Jolley, content writer, says: "I thought it tasted good. I couldn't tell much of a difference between this and an alcoholic beer in terms of taste. It satisfied the craving for the taste of a beer, but the only difference was that you didn't quite get the relaxing effect of an alcoholic drink. I would be happy to drink it in the future at home, but I don't think I'd order one at the pub." Score: 4/5
Adam Davies, community manager, says: "It was tasty enough, similar enough to the alcoholic version, but it just lacked the bite that you expect from a beer. It also left a curious aftertaste, almost like it was out of date. I wouldn't drink it again." Score: 2/5
Naphtalia Loderick, content editor, says: "I really liked this drink. It tasted just like the real thing and I would happily drink it again." Score: 5/5
So, it seems that alcohol-free red wine is preferable to white, non-alcoholic beer is worthwhile and cider is excellent. Enter our giveaway and let us know what you think.

What do you think of alcohol-free drinks?
Should they be more readily available in bars and clubs, especially so drivers can socialise without the stigma of sipping a coke?

Gray Wolf
(Canis lupus)
The wolf is the largest member of the canine family.
All gray wolf populations in the lower 48 states are listed as endangered except in Minnesota, where they are listed as threatened. Populations in Alaska are unlisted.
In the U.S. there are an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 wolves in Alaska and 2,700 in the lower 48 states.
Because wolves need wildland habitat and an abundant supply of prey, human encroachment into wolf territory has become a leading threat to their survival. The illegal killing of wolves is also a serious problem.
Wolves live eight to 12 years.
Wolves live in packs, which are complex social structures that include the breeding adult pair (the alpha male and female) and their offspring. A hierarchy of dominant and subordinate animals within the pack help it to function as a unit. Wolves communicate by scent-marking, vocalizing (including howling), facial expressions and body postures.
They normally prey on large hoofed mammals such as deer and elk but occasionally prey on smaller animals such as beavers or rabbits.
On average, wolves stand 26 to 32 inches at the shoulder and weigh 55 to 115 pounds.
Wolves can be found in forests, deserts, plains, mountains, and on tundra. Today the range of the gray wolf has been reduced to portions of the United States (Alaska, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin, Wyoming), Canada, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Russia.
National Parks:
Wolves are found in Denali National Park and Preserve, AK; Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, AK; Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, AK; Katmai National Park and Preserve, AK; Kenai Fjords National Park, AK; Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, AK; Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, AK; Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, AK; Noatak National Preserve, AK; Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, AK; Isle Royale National Park, MI; Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, MI; Voyageurs National Park, MN; Glacier National Park, MT; North Cascades National Park, WA; Grant Teton National Park, WY; Yellowstone National Park, WY.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Amanda Cruz, 35, a former notary public, was sentenced Tuesday for her role in bribing two county clerks to obtain license tags and registrations for illegal aliens, following an investigation led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
U.S. District Judge Jon Phipps McCalla sentenced Cruz to 30 months incarceration and two years of supervised release. The court also ordered Cruz to formally resign as a notary public and turn her stamps and seals over to the U.S. District Court Clerk's Office within seven days.
On July 21, 2009 Cruz pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens. Cruz admitted she operated a business that prepared false and fraudulent documents to help illegal aliens obtain license tags for motor vehicles. This allowed the aliens to avoid being stopped for traffic violations or arrested and having their status in the United States questioned. Cruz also admitted that to further the scheme she regularly paid bribes to two different employees of the Shelby County Clerk's Office to ignore the obvious defects in the documents and to ignore the clerk's office rules and regulations in the issuance of the license tags.
"The transportation and harboring of illegal aliens are serious crimes that we will not tolerate," said Raymond R. Parmer, Jr., special agent in charge of ICE HSI in New Orleans. "ICE HSI devotes significant resources to identify and bring to justice the criminals involved in transporting and harboring illegal aliens and we are committed to shutting down all vulnerabilities in our immigration system."
"The successful outcome of this investigation is another example of local and federal law enforcement working together," said Amy S. Hess, special agent in charge of the Memphis Division of the FBI. "Those who abuse legitimate government services for personal gain will be held accountable for their crimes."
Edward L. Stanton, III, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee stated, "The conspiracy to bribe public officials to obtain false documents is a serious matter that has a corrosive effect on the operation of government and the public's trust in their government. Because of this the U.S. Attorney's Office will prosecute these crimes to the fullest extent of the law."
"Public corruption drains our resources and destroys the confidence of our citizens. The Memphis Police Department will continue to share information with all agencies - local, state and federal - in order to root out every source of public corruption. This individual not only preyed on vulnerable human beings seeking refuge in our community. She bribed government employees in order to entice them into supporting her scheme. Those who attempt to entice and bribe public servants should be held to the same level of accountability as those employees who make the decision to betray the public trust," said Larry A. Godwin, director of the Memphis Police Department.
U.S. Attorney Stanton commended ICE Special Agent Scott Partin and FBI Special Agent Robert Reich for the excellent and dedicated work on a complicated and sensitive investigation.
