Anonymous Participant Who Drew Attention To Steubenville Rape May Face More Years In Jail Than Rapists
from the that-doesn't-seem-right dept
If convicted of hacking-related crimes, Lostutter could face up to 10 years behind bars—far more than the one- and two-year sentences doled out to the Steubenville rapists. Defending himself could end up costing a fortune—he's soliciting donations here. Still, he thinks getting involved was worth it. "I'd do it again," he says.Once again, as if it needs to be repeated, the CFAA is completely broken.
Separately, the raid of his house seems like yet another extreme overreaction:
At first, he thought the FBI agent at the door was with FedEx. "As I open the door to greet the driver, approximately 12 FBI SWAT team agents jumped out of the truck, screaming for me to 'Get the fuck down!' with M-16 assault rifles and full riot gear, armed, safety off, pointed directly at my head," Lostutter wrote today on his blog. "I was handcuffed and detained outside while they cleared my house."If you read his full blog post, there are many more descriptions of overreaction from law enforcement (reposted without correcting his typos or grammatical errors):
I was detained on the back patio, I asked if I was going to jail, they said no, they said who are you, I responded KYAnonymous. They asked me a few questions, asked me for my passwords for my account, stated that I could not tell anyone I was raided or I would face additional charges such as "destroying/tampering with evidence". They pulled out ALLEGED emails between me and @justbatcat aka Noah McHugh from Noah's inbox indicating that someone is trying to "sell me down the river". They stated they had been watching me for a long time, prior to Jim Parks, and that I was a good guy, and even joked around a bit about the good things I have done, none the less, sincere or not, They are the FBI and to them I am Anonymous, the embodiment of a dangerous threat according to their m16 assault rifles aimed at me for a computer.So now the FBI is creating chilling effects for those who are seeking to expose and shame those trying to cover up the rape of a minor?
Before they departed, I asked them for names and badge numbers of each involved. I got none of them as I requested and subsequently it took me the better part of a month just to get a phone call returned for the status of my belongings let alone tracking down my case agent to columbus ohio. I asked Agent Bixby (who in all fairness seems to be fighting for me and believes I am a good guy) the status of my belongings and they had no time table, as of this post they are still with the FBI being analyzed. I was emailed their intent to send out a "Target Letter" which means they are going to try to indict me for a Federal Offense, (most likely a felony and two misdemeanors) to a secret Grand Jury of 23 individuals, for which I can not be present to state my side, nor state my innocence.

Welcome to our Wednesday edition of Would You Read On?. We appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to stop by our blog. Kindly comment if you would read on or not. Last week's contributing author is revealed below this first page.
Ship's Log: Writing On A Tight Dead Line (a middle reader title)
Dear Mom: I'm still sailing around the Caribbean Sea surrounded by murderous pirates, beautiful beaches, haunted forts, mysterious lakes fed by underground rivers and hidden dungeons filled with treasure, bones and really smelly men who are not keen on bathing.
The round little man with owlish eyes looked up from his reading. "You want I should mention that there rat? Would only take a second to put it in. Could draw a picture of him right here in the margin."
A gust of wind slammed into the rigging of the wooden ship, tipping the vessel onto its side. I scrunched closer toward the large rodent. "Here boy, come to Ricky. Want to gnaw on a smelly rope?"
The rat sniffed and scurried under the bars of my cell and out of sight.
"Face it, lad. You'll never get those bindings off your wrists. And even if you did you couldn't get the door unlocked or sneak past the guard."
Pressing my cheek to the iron bars I strained to see down the darkened hallway, then eyed the man seated in the other cell. "How long before… you know?"
"You mean after your neck snaps before for your feet stop twitching? Depends. Seen some pour souls kick a minute or more. You, being young and all, might take longer. Should I mention the rat or not?"
"Mom hates rat," I replied.
"Right. No rats."
Remember last spring how, when I took the pre-college exams, you worried about my writing scores. Thought they wouldn't be high enough? We spent hours going over those stupid subject prompts. 'What is something you dislike about yourself? What is something you do well? What is your favorite room at home and why?' No need to worry about my writing skills, now. This place where I am now offers plenty of time to practice my writing.
"It's me who's doing the writing, you know. Not you."
"My story," I countered. "My obit."

This is a good article about developing iPhone-specific websites, but it has been framed in a very odd way. The title and introduction seem to be misdirecting attention away from the focus of the article and encouraging a dichotomy that I don't think exists.
For example, people aren't using media queries (and fluid grids and flexible images) to create platform-specific versions of their sites; they're using them to create layouts that can adapt to many screen sizes on many devices …not just the iPhone.
It's a shame because, as I said, I think this is a good article about a specific topic. I don't understand why it has been artificially broadened with references to a separate, wider topic (the straw man about display: none seems especially weird).
And now, instead of responding to the content of the article, I find myself responding to its framing. Sorry.

Bobby (UK - DVD R2)
Scott McKenzie takes a trip back in time to see the murder of Robert Kennedy...
Bobby tells the story of an assorted group of characters who inhabit and work in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 4th 1968. Their activities lead up to the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, who had just won the California Presidential primary and looked certain to win the race to the White House. The characters must come to terms with their relationships and their places in a world that stands on the edge of major change, just not the change they were all expecting.
What is clear before even taking the disc out of the case and putting it in the DVD player is that a huge number of actors and actresses were drawn to this movie by more than just money. The relatively low budget of $14 million could easily have been splashed by a major studio on any one of the headline stars at the peak of their career. Anthony Hopkins, Sharon Stone and Demi Moore in particular have all commanded paycheques of this magnitude so what makes Bobby so special?
For a start, the opportunity for all of these stars to work together acted like a snowball effect once Anthony Hopkins was on board. This is neatly summed up by director Emilio Estevez's interview in the Making of featurette when he says that within minutes of each other, Anthony Hopkins and William H Macy ran up to him on set and announced their excitement at working with each other. The screenplay covers the relationships between a large number of characters, but is rarely in a rush to get the exposition out of the way, allowing the heavyweights to bounce off each other. The scenes with Hopkins and Harry Belafonte have such an easy-going atmosphere that I could have watched a whole movie of them waxing lyrical and seeing Christian Slater holding his own against William H Macy made me wonder just how he ended up in Alone in the Dark and Hollow Man II.
Even though it's safe to assume the political ideals of Robert Kennedy were instrumental in drawing some members of the cast to the movie, Emilio Estevez's screenplay was also a critical factor. This was a labour of love for him and he spent many years trying to get it made even when he didn't have a screenplay, but the story he tells is almost as compelling as the story of the man who inspired it. Unlike some movies based on historical events that attempt to conceal the moments of dramatic licence, Bobby positively revels in the fictionalisation of the story. Estevez draws inspiration from photographs of people and events of the day and works backwards, using these moments as the climaxes to the multiple story threads.
This of course means that aside from the archive footage, none of what happens on screen ever happened and a slightly greater leap of faith is necessary to buy into the story than would normally be necessary for a movie based on real events. Another complaint that could be levelled against Bobby is the degree of political intent behind the movie. Many of the storylines are based around issues that were close to Robert Kennedy's heart, from the Vietnam war to racism, so it's safe to say that people of differing political persuasions will take different things away from the movie (very diplomatically put if I do say so myself). Yes, it does have a pro-liberal slant but certainly no more than Crash, which I'd say is a comparable movie in structure and intention.
The only complaint I have about the movie is that as we reach the end of the second act and get ready for the assassination, Estevez needs to get a large number of happy endings out of the way and we end up with a substantial part of the movie that probably equated to a few pages of screenplay that said nothing more than 'they smile at each other'. That said, I found Bobby to be very entertaining in a Sunday afternoon non-threatening kind of way, with clever editing used to blend filmed sequences with archive footage. It wears both its political and fictional hearts on its sleeve so I can fully understand why some may be turned off, but after telling a great story with such an impressive cast, I'm hoping Emilio Estevez gets back behind the camera soon to give us more of the same.
Bobby is presented with a 2.35:1 anamorphic picture. Looking back on a period in history with reverence, there's no surprise that most of the scenes are bathed in a warm golden glow. It's not quite to the same level as the sepia tones used throughout The Illusionist but works well at taking the viewer back in time. Only the scenes in the kitchen have a more clinical white tone. The archive footage (some of which also shows up in the documentary Hearts & Minds) is mainly used in montage sequences, although in the final scenes it is edited into the action. No major attempt is made to find a common ground between the quality of the two types of film, which is another example of how Emilio Estevez has no qualms about separating truth from his fictionalisations. Although there are imperfections in the stock footage, I couldn't find any problems with the rest of the film, with strong colours, good detail and no noticeable areas of interference in the darker scenes.
In a movie that focuses on a large number of people, it's important to make sure the viewer appreciates the hustle and bustle of a busy hotel and the 5.1 surround track does that very well, most of all in the kitchen scenes. Some scenes move slower than others, although the score changes at times to increase urgency at certain moments and keep the story moving. The surround effects, music and dialogue are all pitched at appropriate levels and while this may not be a track that will have your neighbours banging on your wall and asking you to turn it down, it certainly enhances the viewer's appreciation of the events on screen.
The disc opens with skippable trailers for Hannibal Rising, The Illusionist and The Painted Veil. The theatrical trailer for Bobby is also included and there are two featurettes available. The first is a standard 'Making of' that includes all the expected interviews and behind-the-scenes footage but goes into decent detail about Estevez's motivation for making the movie and he recounts a great anecdote about how he overcame writer's block. The second featurette shows a panel of eyewitnesses from the Ambassador Hotel and they recount their views on Robert Kennedy and their memories of his assassination.
For those who are willing to put their disbelief on hold for a couple of hours, there's a lot to enjoy in Bobby. It's a well-written and inventive movie acted out by a dream Hollywood cast and offers as much entertainment as political sentiment. The extra features are slight but do complement the movie well and enhance the viewing experience by drawing attention to the intricacies of the work that has gone into creating a fictional account of a real historical event.

I loved this movie. One of my favorites of 2006. Every actor was really good.

This movie was a complete trial to sit through though the last 10 minutes did redeem it somewhat. I admire Emilio Estevez for trying to contribute something meaningful but the sad truth is is that he's just not talented enough.

Few hours left before the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs voting results will be announced. But before that let's recall some facts from the history of DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll. It has been running since 1997, but only since 2010 it has been based on public vote and in this year Armin van Buuren has been firtly nominated as Number 1 DJ! After that he was again nominated four times (and the likes of Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, and Paul van Dyk all being multiple winners). We guess that Armin would repeat his success again, or they wouldn't be able to crack the house/trance stranglehold that's placed atop the list?

Review: Star Trek
"Live long and prosper" is the least that one could say about the Star Trek franchise. Over four decades have passed since the first incarnation of Gene Roddenberry's brainchild. The original series, known for it's cheese and moral pomp, ran a mere three seasons, but nonetheless inspired eleven movies, five television series, countless books, toys, videogames and, above all, generations of space enthusaists and geeks. Daunting, then, is the task of re-introducing the classic characters onto the big screen. Thankfully, director and television impresario J.J. Abrams rises to the occasion to make Star Trek (it's actually the first film to bear that name alone) not only a welcome addition, but an inspired thrill-ride which really kicks summer 2009 into gear.
Unlike some other 2009 blockbuster, screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have crafted a legitimate origin story for the franchise. The film opens with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock as children on their respective planets showing a distinct promise of greatness. Over the years, the Star Trek galaxy has become so vast that the characters within it seem to have shrunk in stature, considered more to be model citizens of the Federation than anything more. By focusing on the early years of these two shipmates, Mr. Abrams is emphasizing that Kirk, Spock and their cohorts are not the norm; they are extraordinary; they are superheroes.

good dog food
I was reading some of the other topics about food and was was wondering if Royal Canin is decent food. When I first got my puppie i was feeding him Purina puppy chow. I had no idea how bad store brand foods like that are until I started reading things on this site, so I wanted to promptly switch my food. I the pet store the only top of the line food they carried was nutro and Royal canin. I went with Royal Canin was this a bad decision?
I just switched to Nutro max puppy for Daisy. I tried just about everything and thats all she would eat. I don't know too much about Royal canin so if you just look at the nutrition info on the side of the bag that will tell you everything. Basically i like to stay away from by-products and not too many fillers. And i like to be able to pronounce all the ingridents easily. If i cant say it, i don't want my dogs eating it.
I have been feeding Royal Canin for nearly a year and have had great results from it. The Natural Choice gave her a great coat, but she didn't really like the food. She's now on Select Choice and her coat is still great, but she has some dander. Everything else was the same between the two foods - their best and second best lines.

January 15, 2014 9:37:23 AM
TRENTON, N.J. -- Republican Gov. Chris Christie, faced with a widening political scandal that threatens to undermine his second term and a possible 2016 presidential run, apologized again Tuesday, saying his administration "let down the people we are entrusted to serve" but the issue doesn't define his team or the state.
On the eve of his second term, he opened his annual State of the State address by touching only briefly on the apparent political payback plot, involving road lane closures that caused major backups at the George Washington Bridge, one of the busiest bridges in the country.
"The last week has certainly tested this administration," he said. "Mistakes were clearly made. And as a result, we let down the people we are entrusted to serve. I know our citizens deserve better."
He received tempered applause after he went on, saying, "This administration and this Legislature will not allow the work that needs to be done to improve the people's lives in Jersey to be delayed."
Christie's measured tone was a noticeable contrast from a year ago when a blustery Christie promised to lead New Jersey back from Superstorm Sandy, the costliest natural disaster in state history.
The scandal broke wide open last week with the release of documents showing Christie aides and appointees orchestrated the Fort Lee lane closings, which delayed emergency vehicles and school buses for hours and infuriated commuters. Democrats believe the scheme was retaliation against the town's Democratic mayor, who didn't endorse Christie for re-election.
After addressing the scandal, Christie moved on in his speech to such familiar themes as avoiding tax increases and working with the Democrats who control both chambers of the state Legislature.
But he returned to the theme of bipartisanship throughout as he sought to repel doubts about an aggressive brand of politics that propelled him to the forefront of his party but might also be responsible for an apparent petty political vendetta carried out by members of his inner circle.
"We have succeeded in working together to be an example for the entire country dispirited by partisanship," Christie said. "Let us not abandon that course."
Turning to policy matters, Christie stuck mostly to universal goals such as making communities safer without offering much of a blueprint.
Christie kept plans vague for a key initiative, extending the school day and cutting short summer vacation, which was met with skepticism from Wendell Steinhauer, president of New Jersey's largest and most powerful teachers union and a frequent adversary of Christie.
The union bitterly opposed an overhaul of public employee retirement benefits by Christie and the Legislature in 2011 and spent millions of dollars on anti-Christie ads during his gubernatorial campaigns.
The governor warned that the state in the coming year must reduce its pension and debt service payments, which are scheduled to rise by a combined total of nearly $1 billion.
Democrats oppose the prospects of failing to make promised pension contributions or cutting payouts to retirees.
Christie also promised to present choices to overhaul the state's tax system next month when he presents his budget proposal but did not offer an insight on how he might want to do that. A tax cut he proposed two years ago foundered in the Legislature.
The reception to his ideas from political opponents is likely to unfold as the Legislature gets to work. Democrats may be unwilling to go along with a Republican they sense may have been weakened by the scandal.
As Christie left the chamber after his speech, he tersely shook the hand of the Democrat leading one of several investigations into the scandal, which the governor has denied knowledge of and first apologized for last week. Christie also has fired a close aide, and others on his team have resigned.
Democrats plan to vote Thursday on continuing their investigation.
"Public safety and abuse of power are the No. 1 issues," Democrat Vincent Prieto, the incoming speaker of the state Assembly, said after the speech. "We have to get to the bottom to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Christie's State of the State address and inauguration, scheduled for next week, were intended to launch a second term that's considered a key building block for his political future. After his November re-election, his advisers suggested he had just a one-year window to stack up accomplishments as a can-do, bipartisan leader before his lame-duck status -- and a prospective White House campaign -- start to interfere.
The recent revelations may have slammed that window shut. Though he's not announced plans to run, Christie is an early front-runner for his party's presidential nomination who now is working to rebound from the scandal, the most serious threat to his administration and political ambitions so far.
Unlike previous years, Christie had no live radio or television appearances scheduled for the day after the annual address.

DesignIntelligence magazine ranked theInterior Architecture graduate program at Suffolk University number six in the nation on its America's Best Architecture & Design School 2013 list.
It is the third year in a row that Suffolk's program has been named one of the "Top 10" best at preparing graduates for success in the interior design profession.
"We are proud to have once again been recognized as one of the 'Top 10' programs in the nation," said Bill Davis, chair of the University's art and design school. "We have an outstanding student body, faculty and curriculum. The employability rating of our graduates, even during challenging economic times, is also impressive."
Suffolk's interior architecture program gives students the knowledge and skills to use their passion for design to transform and enhance residential, professional and public spaces. They gain an awareness of environmental issues such as sustainability and "green" design while acquiring all aspects of design, including theory, communication skills, computer and software, and professional practices.
Students have received many top national awards including the Donghia Foundation Scholarship, IES Lighting Design Competition, the ASID Student Competition, and the IIDA New England Student Awards. Most recently, students from the program took home the prize for "best design school entry" in the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) of New England's annual Fashion Show.
Design Intelligence, a trade magazine for the design industry, conducted its 14th annual survey in mid-2012. Professional practice leaders are surveyed about which schools are best preparing students for successful careers in the design professions. A total of 392 professional practice organizations participated in the research for the 2013 rankings.

resumes together and put them in Raul Ruiz's file: magna cum laude at UCLA; three graduate degrees from Harvard (a medical degree and masters in public policy and in public health); doctoring to poor people on three continents and at home in the poor reaches of the Coachella Valley, where his adoptive parents were migrant workers; an Army award for helping Haiti earthquake victims. And he plays trumpet and dances baile folklorico. Now he has exchanged one big white building, a hospital, for another one — the U.S. Capitol. A stripling of 40, Ruiz is a member of Congress, having defeated incumbent Republican Mary Bono Mack, and was named by Politico as a freshman most likely to succeed.
People will try to pigeonhole you: Democrat, Latino, migrant-worker parents. How are you not only that?
I'm an ER doctor, period. I look at a problem with a certain lens: very action-oriented, very results-oriented. When patients come to the emergency department, they're wearing a [hospital] gown whether they're affluent or indigent. And pain feels the same whether you live in the rich area or the poor neighborhoods. My role is to alleviate that suffering and improve the lives of my patients, and that's the way I perceive policy.
You're a freshman but not new to politics. You have a public policy degree from the Kennedy School at Harvard, and, of course, you were high school student body president
That's when I drew my reelection posters by hand!
When I was in medical school, I knew I wanted to go home and effect change. Being a physician would allow me to be an advocate for the community beyond the exam room. I was trying to decide between a public health degree and a public policy degree, and one of my deans told me to get the course catalogs and highlight the classes that were most interesting. At that time the Kennedy School [of Government] clearly won. Learning how to solve complex problems really was in tune with what I wanted to get accomplished.
Some people regard medicine as separate from policy.
I don't. The measurement of good policy is the well-being of the community. I saw the human faces of failed policies, and they weren't smiling. You take care of a patient who's gasping for air because of congestive heart failure and fluid in their lungs, and they're in such a severe state because they haven't taken their diuretics and they tell you they can't afford it. That's where you can clearly see the link.
I started an internship program with high school and undergrads who want to be doctors in underserved areas. What started with nine students out of a Starbucks is now 115 students under the UC Riverside school of medicine. Oftentimes my students would come to me in tears because they were concerned that they wouldn't be able to pay for school and had to take a semester off, work in the fields or with their parents to save money for school, so their dreams were deferred. You start realizing how real policy is in their lives. The people we serve are not a spreadsheet.
I don't suppose everyone could do what you did, which was go door to door with a contract asking people to invest in your education?
One of my mentees started doing the same thing, writing a contract and telling people, "I'm coming back" [after graduation]. We talk about following through [on] your commitment with discipline and dedication.
You came back from Harvard to the only not-for-profit hospital in the Coachella Valley. Is that the right model for medical care?
There are a lot of different models that we have to look at. Overall, we need to go back to a simplified vision of our healthcare system. Every system has an output and oftentimes we lose sight that the output for a healthcare system is to produce a healthy and productive population. And the way we measure how well a system functions is by how effective and efficient it is. We determine how effective it is by looking at how healthy the population is, and efficiency is determined by the amount of resources it takes to produce that output, [including] time and personnel.
Your district epitomizes the gap between rich and poor that was discussed during the campaign. Is this a public-policy responsibility?
We value the pursuit of excellence with personal responsibility. Oftentimes we end there. We forget the other value that makes America the greatest country on Earth: That is the value of service with social responsibility, service to our community and our country. The recipe to revive the American dream is to hold these two values in parallel. So when you see a growing crisis in the disparities of not only income but education and healthcare, we need to demonstrate our commitment to the value of service with social responsibility.
I'm talking about the hunger like I had, being a poor boy who grew up in a trailer wanting to better the lives of his family and community. There were angels in my life who helped me get to that next step. We are all connected; my success wasn't mine — it was my community's that believed in me; it was my parents', who sacrificed their comfort so we could have an education.
Your newly drawn 36th District just nudged into the majority-Democratic voter column. One supporter says your election is a tipping point for the Coachella Valley
I think it is. I think we've reached the critical threshold of an inclusive district for everyone to have a voice and come to the table and work together. We have a certain knack in the desert; we learn how to thrive in inhospitable environments.
Speaking of inhospitable environments, how do you propose getting along in a partisan Congress?
The beauty of coming in fresh is that I have no political baggage. I'm not here to be partisan. Whoever has that great idea that's going to improve the lives of the people I serve, I'm willing to cooperate and collaborate.
After the Sandy Hook massacre, you talked about "automatic weapons of war." Have you treated child gunshot victims?
One of the most difficult things as a physician is to tell a mother that her child died. Working in trauma centers, I've had to do that. The pain, the crying — in Spanish el llanto — you think about those when you come home after a late shift. The first thing in your head is, we've got to stop this. How can we use a public health approach to be the most effective as possible to reduce violence?
What are your plans for your two committees, natural resources and veterans affairs?
We have the Salton Sea; it's a looming public health disaster [but] another opportunity to be the economic engine not only for my district but for Southern California, with geothermal energy and tourism. Veterans' affairs is very special to me; we have so many veterans in the district. Whenever I take care of a World War II veteran, I am completely humbled.
Have you ever thought about what you'd be doing if you had stayed in Mexico with your widowed father, not been adopted by your American aunt and uncle?
Let me tell you a story. I was about 6 or 8 years old; my mother took me to run errands to a border city called Mexicali. My treat for going was that she would buy me my favorite food, a mango. They put on lime and chili powder — man, those are the best. I was looking forward to that mango all day. When we were done, my mother bought me this mango, and I was about to take a bite and this kid, maybe 4 or 5, comes up to me, barefoot, ripped jeans, dirty, with the hungriest eyes, and looked at my mango. My mother took the mango from me and gave it to him, and I stood there looking at him carrying my mango away and I learned a valuable lesson: that we've all got to help others who need help. We weren't well off, but we were well off enough to buy a mango and perhaps buy another one. Those become wired into your system and become the values that are fundamentally who you are. I've always wondered if I would have stayed in Mexico, how would my life have been? Would I have had the opportunities to go to school? Would I have had the lesson I learned through my parents that made me who I am?
Given your background and work, what's the right approach for immigration law reform?
I start with the point of view where it is a privilege to live in the United States, and we need to reward people's pursuit of excellence with personal responsibility. We definitely have our responsibility to secure our borders, to focus on preventing people who want to do harm from entering our country. We also have to make sure our agricultural industry is not destroyed by draconian measures to simply deport our workforce.
The path to citizenship is a path for those who are here to gain full citizenship through certain criteria, [demonstrating] that they have behaved well and worked hard. The idea of a permanent process for residency that I have heard talked around by a few here in D.C. — I think that proposal will create a permanent second-class citizenship. Our country has gone through a transformation that we do not accept second-class citizenship.
Does that mean what some would call amnesty?
No, amnesty is just "you're here, now you're in." I'm talking about an earned path to citizenship that would motivate, inspire and empower immigrant families to work hard and achieve their American dream.
The Mack campaign brought out the fact that as a student, you were arrested at a Thanksgiving protest over the treatment of Native Americans. Charges were dropped. The campaign also released audio of you reading a letter two years later from Mexican revolutionary Subcomandante Marcos in support of Native American activist Leonard Peltier, who was controversially convicted of killing two FBI agents.
That was one of the biggest disappointments with politics. Everybody told me that politics is dirty, but when it happens, it opens your eyes to how we have gone from the politics of ideas to the politics of personal destruction.
Yet this is what you were doing and saying publicly at the time.
I'm not against speaking publicly and having passion for something. One of the cardinal beauties of America is that we have the freedom to do so. [At] the National Day of Mourning [protests], I was passionately standing with Native Americans to talk about their story and to make sure their voices and history were incorporated in the fabric of America, and that's what I did. When you're young and passionate and in the moment, sometimes you say things or do things; you look back, [and] among friends you'd say, I can't believe that's how I looked or that's what I said. You appreciate your life history; it makes you who you are.
You held 90 town halls throughout the campaign. How do you keep in touch with constituents from 3,000 miles away?
I go home as much as possible. I shop in the same stores. I go to the same playgrounds when I take my nieces. I go to the same trailer parks that I started my community service out of. The people in my district will have my ear above everybody else.
Your mother must be over the moon.
I brought her here for my swearing in and she looked around [Congress] and looked at me with these big eyes and said: My goodness, I didn't think it was this big! Being sworn in and looking up at where my mother was, the images I had of her working so hard and all the sacrifices she made — to see her there with family and the leaders of our country was something I wish that more mothers from my community had.
Have any of your fellow members come up to you and said: Hey doc, I've got this pain — can you tell me what it is?
When I got sworn in and took pictures with Speaker [John A.] Boehner, his hand was hurting, and I said, "Hey, if you want me to take a look at it, I'm here for you, buddy." He just laughed.

Rather than fill this iconic space with a conventional sculpture or installation, Columbian artist Doris Salcedo has created a subterranean chasm that stretches the length of the Turbine Hall. The concrete walls of the crevice are ruptured by a steel mesh fence.
Doris Salcedo: ShibbolethPhoto courtesy of Tate Modern
Shibboleth asks questions about the interaction of sculpture and space, about architecture and the values it enshrines, and about the shaky ideological foundations on which Western notions of modernity are built.
In particular, Salcedo is addressing a long legacy of racism and colonialism that underlies the modern world. A 'shibboleth' is a custom, phrase or use of language that acts as a test of belonging to a particular social group or class. By definition, it is used to exclude those deemed unsuitable to join this group.
'The history of racism', Salcedo writes, 'runs parallel to the history of modernity, and is its untold dark side'. For hundreds of years, Western ideas of progress and prosperity have been underpinned by colonial exploitation and the withdrawal of basic rights from others. Our own time, Salcedo is keen to remind us, remains defined by the existence of a huge socially excluded underclass, in Western as well as post-colonial societies.
In breaking open the floor of the museum, Salcedo is exposing a fracture in modernity itself. Her work encourages us to confront uncomfortable truths about our history and about ourselves with absolute candidness, and without self-deception.
Doris Salcedo was born in 1958 in Bogotá, Colombia, where she lives and works.

Scotland Yard said an investigation was launched into alleged comments during the match at Stamford Bridge on October 28.
Police said in a statement: "Inquiries were made and no victims have come forward. The matter will remain as a recorded incident. Without a victim and/or any evidence that any offence has been committed, the matter cannot currently be investigated."
The statement continued: "If the situation changes and a victim and/or evidence to support an allegation of a crime comes to police attention, then further inquiries will, if appropriate, be made."
The 37-year-old referee returned to training with the top-flight Select Group of referees last weekend for the first time since Chelsea's complaint.
Chelsea have alleged that Clattenburg used a term understood to have been interpreted as racist towards midfielder John Obi Mikel.
The official strenuously denies having done so.
Clattenburg and referees chief Mike Riley decided jointly that he should not be in charge of matches while the case has been going on.
The FA is yet to make a decision on the matter after conducting its own investigation.

ADRIAN, Mich. – For the second straight year the turnover bug bit the Bulldogs against rival Albion College. Adrian threw five interceptions and did not cause a turnover in a 28-14 loss to the Britons at Performance Stadium. A year ago, Adrian also was -5 in the turnover battle in a 38-21 defeat in Albion.
The Britons flexed their muscle early in the game and built a 14-0 lead. After a scoreless first quarter after a one hour and 20 minute delay due to lightning, Albion got a breakaway 53-run touchdown run by Clinton Orr capping off a 92-yard drive with 11:42 left in the second. The Britons then struck through the air as Zach Brewer caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from Spencer Krauss with 7:46 left in the second.
Adrian then began to perk up and cut the lead to 14-7 at halftime. Isiah Cross hauled in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Miller with 1:03 left until intermission capping off a 64-yard drive in six plays. The Bulldogs tied the game at 14-14 with 8:29 left in the third as Damon Brown went around right end on fourth-and-goal from the one.
The Britons answered Adrian's tying drive with one of their own as Wes Dolen capped off a 68-yard drive with a 23-yard touchdown scamper to take a 21-14 lead with 3:29 left in the third. The big game-changing play came with 12:21 left in the game as Miller went back to pass and attempted to throw a screen pass which was tipped and Derek Jackson caught it and rumbled 35 yards for Albion to make it 28-14.
The Bulldogs made a quarterback switch with 10:01 left in the fourth as freshman Aaron Tenney led Adrian to the Albion 35 before being hit as he released the ball on a first-and-20 play which resulted in a John Lesinski interception after an 11-play drive which gained 64 yards.
Adrian got one more chance to cut into the lead as they moved the ball downfield 49 yards, but Tenney tossed an interception at the one-yard line which was returned nine yards by Mike Vandermus. Albion got the best of Adrian for the third straight season by pounding the run to the tune of 234 yards compared to 176 for the Bulldogs. Orr carried 26 times for 149 yards and Dolen rushed 13 times for 87 yards.
Danny Cobb led the Adrian ground game with 11 totes for 104 yards. Brown carried 11 times for just 26 yards. Miller and Tenney both completed 10 passes but combined for five picks. Miller threw for 91 yards while Tenney tossed 100 yards. Mitch Gabriele caught eight passes for 73 yards. Cross grabbed six passes for 67 yards.
The Adrian defense could not wreak havoc like they had done all season coming into the game ranked in the top 20 nationally in sacks and tackles for loss. The Bulldogs recorded just one sack and had eight tackles for a loss of 13 yards. Hunter Juntunen led the defense with 13 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. A.J. Gill registered 11 tackles and Keman Jacobs compiled 10 tackles and a pass breakup.

A local man takes his chances with a jury of his peers in a felony theft case and loses.
Morehouse Parish Assistant District Attorney Steve Sylvester prosecuted Stanley Guyewski in Fourth District Court this week on charges stemming from a theft of an air conditioner at a local church in Sept., 2012. Guyewski was arrested on the theft charge along with Jessie Guyewski.
Jessie Guyewski, who has a history of thefts, pled guilty on the charge and received a 10 year sentence. Stanley was brought to trial, where a jury of six convicted him. He now faces 10 years as well. Stanley also has a criminal history of thefts as well as various other charges.
"It's getting to be that time of year when we will see more air conditioner thefts," Sylvester said. "People work too hard to have someone just come along and steal their things, so this office will prosecute vigorously anyone brought in."

Tamil Nadu state Government is currently being ruled by AIADMK with majority of 151 seats. J Jayalalithaa was appointed as chief minister in 2011.
As per Election Commission of India, the 234 assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu will go to polls on 16th May 2016, The final assebly election results of Tamil Nadu will be declared on May 19th 2016.
Tamil Nadu(TN) assembly election predictions:
1. AIADMK has it's own share of 44% in TN .So 2 to 3 small parties will take them to 50% means easily they can reach 150 +. So as of now no party has the guts to face AIADMK.. No anti incumbency, no land grabbing, no katta panchayat, no maanaada mayilaada, no rajini and kamal self boasting cine functions in valluvar kottam, no family looting and domination in film industry and other industries like many many never happened during AIADMK regime. So people wanted this same government wants continue for another 5 years.
2. If Vijaykanth joins with DMK then he will loose most of the seats including his own seat. DMK will make sure that Vijaykanth party is finished this time. He don't have party base and by keep waiting will anger many parties after the election as well. BJP should join with ADMK as they need them in the Lok sabha and Rajya sabha. In this scenario, they can win few seats. ADMK should control all their ministers/party cadres doing any stupid things before election. Congress will not win a seat. ADMK should expose DMK and Congress corruptions in the Lok Sabha and Rajaya Sabha heavily to get momentaum and inch in this election.
3. PMK MDMK and VC and Seeman are all paid party by Jayalalithaa. If the join with ADMK they will.loose. So they are standing alone so that anti AIADMK vote will not go to DMK.
4. Surveys always underestimate ADMK and overestimate DMK. If DMK allies with dmdk,admk will allie with BJP. Even if we consider this survey their total vote share will be 46.1(41.1+5) if admk includes tmc,velmurugans party, kongu katchi,John pandians devendrakulum party they may cross 50 percent vote share.above all admk chief has not started her campaign yet, but even after namakkuname in 234 seats DMK is trailing.

Lester Flatt, Bluegrass Legend
By: Legacy Staff
6 years ago
Lester Flatt was a bluegrass legend.
Born 98 years ago today, Flatt got his start in 1945 playing rhythm guitar with the great elder statesman of bluegrass, Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys.
One of Flatt's Blue Grass bandmates was banjo player Earl Scruggs. In 1948, the two left the Blue Grass Boys and formed their own band, the Foggy Mountain Boys. (If the name sounds oddly familiar, it may be because of the 2000 movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? – the film's 'Soggy Bottom Boys' were named in tribute to Flatt and Scruggs.) In addition to guitar, Flatt sang and sometimes played mandolin with the Foggy Mountain Boys.
The Foggy Mountain Boys stayed together for more than two decades. They became bluegrass superstars, some of the most respected musicians of the genre. And they helped bring bluegrass to the mainstream with one well-known song – "The Ballad of Jed Clampett," a.k.a. the theme song to 1960s sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies.

Harmful amendments dropped from Bulgaria's Forest Act
"This is a huge victory for Bulgaria's environment and civil society", said Konstantin Ivanov, Head of Communications at WWF Bulgaria. "The amendments of the Forest Act would have gone against the public interest as well as basic EU and Bulgarian legislation on nature protection. If these amendments had stayed, we would be facing further deforestation and building up of forest and protected areas in Bulgaria."
A new amendment, passed by the Bulgarian Parliament, allows for already existing ski lifts to be renovated. Put forward by environmentalists, this amendment aims at resolving the issue with the replacement of obsolete ski facilities.
A series of protests in the past six months demonstrated massive public support for the protection of Bulgaria's forests and protected areas. The protestors, mainly young people and families with children, carried posters reading "Forests are life" and "Sorry for disturbing you, we are just trying to rescue what has been left of Bulgaria".
State forests and protected areas, the last significant public resource that has not yet passed into private hands in Bulgaria, occupy about 20% of the country's territory.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 10, 2013) – Collegiate Baseball released its Atlantic Sun preview earlier this month and ETSU was picked to finished third, while senior two-way player Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) was projected to be the league's Pitcher of the Year.
The Bucs are coming off a 36-win campaign and advanced to the NCAA Tournament after claiming the 2013 A-Sun Championship. ETSU returns 25 players from last season's squad including senior Dylan Tritsch (Boca Raton, Fla.), junior Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.) and sophomore Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) – who were all listed as other top players to watch by Collegiate Baseball. Taylor and Tritsch combined for 41 of the Bucs' 88 stolen bases, while Riopedre belted four home runs and drove in 34 runs. Tritsch ranked second on the team with a .324 batting average and also finished with 72 hits and scored 37 runs, while Taylor landed A-Sun All-Freshmen and All-Tournament Team honors.
Mercer, last season's regular season champion and 2013 NCAA Tournament participant, was picked to finish first and North Florida was slated second in the Collegiate Baseball A-Sun preseason poll. Florida Gulf Coast was pegged fourth and Stetson rounded out the top five.
ETSU opens the 2014 campaign on Feb. 14 when the Bucs host Longwood. To purchase season tickets for the upcoming season, call the ETSU ticket office at (423) 439-3878 or visit ETSUBucs.com/tickets.

International opera star and educator Luretta Bybee joins Loyola's flourishing opera program
Loyola press release - May 27, 2014
An international opera star who is not new to New Orleans stages will soon be molding a new generation of opera singers as a music professor at Loyola University New Orleans. American mezzo-soprano Luretta Bybee, known early on in her career for singing the title role in the world tour of Peter Brook's "La Tragedie de Carmen," also performed with the New Orleans Opera this year in Massenet's "Cendrillon." Bybee, who continues to star in operas nationwide, will join the faculty of Loyola's College of Music and Fine Arts in August.
Bybee is married to Loyola alumnus Greer Grimsley '76, himself an international opera star who recently sang the eminent role of Wotan for the Metropolitan Opera's "Ring Cycle" in Robert Lepage's landmark production in Spring 2013. Bybee and Grimsley, drawn to New Orleans because of family connections and the Crescent City's rich opera heritage, are relocating from Boston, Mass., where Bybee most recently served as part of the leadership team for the New England Conservatory's Opera Studies program, where she will remain involved on a limited basis.
As an associate professor of music in Loyola's prestigious School of Music, Bybee will teach studio voice classes—which are one-on-one private lessons with students. Loyola students will have the opportunity to take advantage of Bybee's expert coaching and teaching as a value-added part of their Loyola music education. Standalone private lessons with international opera stars, for example, can cost hundreds of dollars a lesson, not to mention additional charges for the accompanist.
"We are proud to offer our students the incredible value and the exposure to Luretta Bybee's expertise, experience and connections in the opera world," said College of Music and Fine Arts Dean Donald Boomgaarden, Ph.D. "We believe she shares the same passion of all our music faculty here at Loyola: a real commitment to working with fresh, young talented singers in New Orleans where opera has always had such a rich history and tradition."
"She takes young singers and turns them into opera stars—that's her job, and she's been doing it very well," said Meg Frazier, associate professor of music and director of choral activities at Loyola.
That passion for teaching is very important in the world of opera where stars are not simply made by raw talent alone, but more so by developing a sophisticated artistry and stage presence, according to Ellen Frohnmayer, longtime Loyola opera professor.
"You're born with a gift and with a big voice," Frohnmayer said. "But just as a really great athletic coach works with his players on every level—physically, mentally and also spiritually—a great opera teacher trains students how to stay calm under the pressure, how to be a part of a larger team and how to develop their minds to understand the languages and the music so an audience will be reached."
In this realm, Bybee excels.
"She's a recognized name and there will be students who will want to come to Loyola to study with her, to be around her," Frohnmayer said. "Singing is passed down one to one—from a teacher to a student. You can't learn it by a computer; you can't learn it by a book. You learn it by being in the presence of a teacher. Luretta Bybee is that person. She walks in with all her brilliance and something is passed down to the student that's beyond words."
"Loyola presents such opportunity for me. The students are open and eager and the faculty warm, welcoming, talented and supportive," Bybee said. "I'm happy to be a part of growing the vocal program and nurturing young talent there. My daughter just graduated from Loyola this month and she received a wonderful, well-rounded liberal arts education. I'm excited to be a part of the Loyola community."
Bybee is the successor to acclaimed Loyola professor, author and performer Philip Frohnmayer, whose untimely death in September 2013 was greatly mourned by students, faculty and musicians throughout the world.

Managed in cooperation withSouthwest Florida Water Management District
Southwest FloridaWater Management District
Upper Hillsborough WMA consists of more than 5,000 acres on either side of the Hillsborough River in Polk and Pasco counties 2.5 miles east of Zephyrhills on CR 54. Most of the uplands are slash and longleaf pine flatwoods with an understory of palmetto and gallberry. Swamps are found along the river. Only primitive weapons (archery equipment and muzzleloaders) are permitted during the deer seasons. Only shotguns and centerfire handguns are allowed during the wild hog-dog season. Only shotguns are permitted during the small game season. There is also a spring turkey season. The most popular area with bicyclists and horseback riders is the unpaved loop road south of CR 54 through pine flatwoods. Spurs off this road provide additional access for hikers and hunters. Wildlife that make their home on the area include white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, armadillo, gray squirrels, feral hogs, and a variety of birds. There are no bridges at Hillsborough River crossings and these areas will be wet or flooded. Horses are prohibited during hunting seasons and are permitted at other times with written permission from Southwest Florida Water Management District. Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands. For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law . All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands. Camping is permitted at designated campsites during hunting periods and at other times with written permission from the Southwest Florida Water Management District. There are no boat ramps on this area.

The sea transport industry consists of all companies involved in the shipping of goods over bodies of water, both domestically and internationally. The industry also includes all entities that sustain shipping, such as those offering boat-building, repair, operation and rental services. This industry also includes cruise lines, as well as port authorities that receive the vessels.
Industry contributions to federal candidates, political parties, and outside spending groups reached $5.9 million in 2014, its highest total ever during a nonpresidential election cycle. Slightly more than half of its contributions to candidates and party committees went to the Republican Party.
Top contributors include Bollinger Shipyards, an American constructor of ships; Kirby Corp, the largest tank barge operator in the United States; and Carnival Corp, the world's largest cruise ship operator. Of the three, Carnival was the only contributor that gave more to the Democratic Party.
Industry favorites include Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), who sits on the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation; Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who sits on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee; and Sen. Mary L. Landrieu (D-La.), who lost her race in 2014 but at one time chaired the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Each received over $140,000 in contributions.
Lobbying by the sea transport hit a peak of almost $27 million in 2008. It has since dipped to $22 million in 2014, with a total of 148 lobbying clients that ranged from cruise ship companies to trade organizations to waterway operators and port authorities.
The organization that spent the most on lobbying in 2014 was the Cruise Lines International Association, which represents 26 member cruise lines worldwide. This group began lobbying in 2006, spending $120,000. Just three years later, in 2009, its expenditures totaled $2.2 million. In 2014, the CLIA spent $1.4 million on lobbying the federal government.
Specific issues of interest to the industry include customs and border protection, international port security, taxes, marine wildlife protection, sanitation programs, trade, and energy.

Hi there! :3
My name is Qusic, and I'm new here. Well honestly, I haven't really been watching anime for that long (maybe like, 5 months), but I still find it quite entertaining. I'm into computer graphics, you know, like Gimp and PhotoShop and stuff, and I hope to make a career of it.
Umm, that's really it. ^_^

Smile, like HTT Girls
Sup. New to the forum, and I guess you could say I'm on the 'intermediate level' in terms of anime fandom. ^_^
Until around early last year, the only anime I followed are Digimon and Detective Conan. My friend over at college is a major anime fan, so he got me into watching a lot more anime, even though I still keep quite a different taste from him in terms of the anime I watch.
And an even more different taste from my other anime-viewing friends in Singapore. The others prefer cool, exciting fighting anime like Bleach and Naruto, while I prefer epic stories with profound themes and emotional characters. Hence my favorites are Clannad, Gurren Lagann, and yes, Digimon (Adventure 01 and Tamers). It used to be good, anyway... <_<"
Hope to meet more of you around. ^_^ And yes, the signature is self-made by me... albeit not made very well. <_<" (I only used Photobucket to make it; go figure.)

Hey everyone, newbie here. I'm writing an anime and gaming blog (link in sig) and it'd be awesome if you could take a quick look. Favourite anime at the moment is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and current game obsession is Gitaroo Man (although Pokemon is always amazing. Always).
Nice to meet you all!

this will be the ultimate rpg ever.
I just want to let everyone know that the best game I've ever played is Final Fantasy Tactics
one word: EarthBound. But yeah, they don't make 'em like that anymore.
Quote from: Onomatopoeiaone word: EarthBound. But yeah, they don't make 'em like that anymore.Such a unique RPG. Everything at the time was like elves and magic swords in this game you used weapons like a cracked bat and a yo-yo. Kudos to this game, I was enraged when it didn't come out on 64 to save the system.

Hi all,
I just got back to SB after a rather large bout of traveling and am looking for tennis partners. Seems like activity around here has stopped after summer ended, so let's get it back crackin'!
Level-wise I'm about a 3.5 and am keen to just casually hit around, play matches, whatever.
The ideal places for me to play would be between Montecito and downtown SB, but I can swing my gas-guzzler of a car over to Carp or UCSB if desperate.
Bonus: I'm a jobless vagrant at the moment so my schedule is pretty free!
If you're interested hit me up!

I've been around S.B. for less than 2 months, so I'm still looking for partners!!
Living near downtown, I find that the ones near the high school off Milpas work for me, they seem to be open to the public after school hours.. Let me know what afternoons like week work for you, to meet up there.
I think this is the address of them, by the high school: 1031 Nopal Street, santa barbara
Hi Natalie. I'd love to hit. This week is pretty full but next week is good. I usually play at Las Positas courts but can be flexible :)
Hi Natalie:
I'd be interested in hitting with you sometime--my schedule is also flexible, though I'd prefer to play either mornings or evenings. SBHS is ideal. I've taken a few lessons and would say that I'm an advanced beginner--like to casually hit, play a few casual games.
Look forward to hearing from you!
I'm new to SB and would love to find some people to play! I'm a 3.5-4.0 and playing somewhere between Montecito and downtown SB would be perfect for me. I'm free most evenings and weekends.
Hi Natalie, I'm up for some hitting/rallying and games. I can play after 5 on weekdays and am pretty much free on weekends. Let me know if you're interested.
For those who have been wondering about SBHS (where I usually play) they were closed for a few weeks due to vandalism, but new locks are up again. Its the same combination as before ... "5050" like the old Creamsicle ice creams (do they even make those anymore?).
Its good to be a jobless vagrant now and then :)
It would be fun to hit. I usually play at UCSB, but I can make it to other courts in SB, no problem!
