Reagan and El Salvador
1981-State Department dispatched 20 military advisers to El Salvador to aid its government against guerrilla warfare.
Reagan didn't report situation under WPR, and the State Department said a report was not required because the US personnel were not being introduced into situations of immediate hostility.
11 members of Congress challenged the President's action by filing suit on grounds that he had violated the Constitution and the WPR by sending the advisers to El Salvador.
Case dismissed by ruling that Congress, not the court, must resolve the question of whether US forces in El Salvador were involved in a hostile situation
Case led to various proposals to add specificity to WPR in what constitutes Congressional authorization, but none were adopted

(Thanks for Listening!)
Clinton Impeachment
Watergate: Nixon maintains that any illegal activities had been performed without his knowledge and consent
Nixon hires General Archibald Cox as Special Prosecutor, but when Cox exposes that many high-level Nixon officials had conscience knowledge of illegal activities, Nixon fires Cox and gets rid of his position (this action known as
Saturday Night Massacre
Justice Department and House Judiciary Committee continue their own investigations, with growing evidence mounting against Nixon.
Nixon resists turning over key pieces of evidence, including tape-recorded conversations he possessed.
July 27th, 1974-Committee votes that Nixon be impeached, saying he had "prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice"
Nixon resigns before impeachment, first president to do so
Ford pardons Nixon 1 month later
Impeachment arose due to Clinton's extramarital relationships:
Jones Case-Paula Jones sued Clinton for sexual harassment. Jones calls on ex-White House intern Monica Lewinsky to testify. Lewinsky denies relationship with Clinton.
Clinton's denial under oath of any involvement with Lewinsky caught attention of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr--believed him to have committed perjury
Starr assembled grand jury, issued subpoena, and got Lewinsky to testify with promise of immunity
Starr submitted report to House Judiciary Committee, House of Representatives approves two articles of impeachment regarding Lewinsky relationship and lying under oath
President's lawyers say behavior is "morally reprehensible" but not impeachable. H of R voted to impeach Clinton in 1998, but a 2/3rds majority of the senate needed to convict Clinton was not achieved
Some people believe Clinton was impeached for politcal, but not constitutional reasons. His trial reflects the deeply divided government and partisan politics of the time.
As war in Vietnam ended, Ford used US forces to evacuate American citizens and foreign nationals, as well as to retake a US vessel--the SS Mayaguez
Controversy over whether Ford had adequately consulted Congress before making these decisions
The Ford Administration held that it had met the consultation requirement because congressional leaders had been notified prior to
actual introduction
of armed forces
Prevailing congressional opinion was that the President must seek congressional opinion and take it into account before making the
to commit forces.
Dec. 20th 1989-Bush orders 14,000 US military forces to Panama for combat, on top of the 13,000 already there
Dec. 21st, he reported to Congress under WPR but did not report to Congress any introduction of US forces into hostilities
However, War Powers issue was NOT raised because:
1. Congress was out of session
2. President's action in Panama was very popular among American population and supported by most members of Congress
Grenada and Reagan
October 25th 1983-Reagan reported to Congress under WPR that he had ordered a landing of 1900 US Army and Marine personnel in Grenada to restore order and protect US Citizens
Many members of Congress contended that he should have cited section 4(a)(1), which would have triggered a 60-90 day time limitation before the order took place
White House spokesman Larry Speakes said that there was no need for this citation, as the combat troops would be out within 60-90 day time period.
11 members of Congress filed a suit challenging the constitutionality of Reagan's Grenada invasion. A judge stated that courts should not decide such cases courts should not decide such cases unless the entire Congress used the "institutional remedies available to it."
Line-Item Veto
Line item veto: A special form of veto in which the chief executive has the right to prevent particular provisions of a bill enacted by a legislative assembly from becoming law without having to kill all the other parts of the bill.
Popular at state level (all but six allow governors this power), but rarely allowed for Presidents
Many Presidents have backed concept of line-item veto, but few have obtained this power
Arguments against LIV
Would give President more power than Congress over federal spending
Would give President "de facto" legislative authority of altering the law, thereby violating separation of power.
No guarantee that President wouldn't abuse this power
Arguments for LIV
Would possibly make President more accountable for federal expenditure by giving him more power in budget negotiations
Would help eliminate "rider amendments" sneaked onto important bills by legislators
Line Item Veto Act of 1996:
briefly allowed line-item veto power for the Federal government, but was declared unconstitutional and struck down by judicial review two years later
Neustadt's Conclusion
"Effective influence for the man in the White House stems from three related sources"
Presidents must persuade/bargain, not command
Shared, not separated powers
President's sources of power
"He makes his personal impact by the things he says and does"
President's Power
A president must convince the people
When a president has to resort to commanding people, he is showing weakness
Shared not Separated
Each branch of the government relies on each other and if they are not working towards the same goal nothing with get done
Health Bill/ Shutdown
Sources of Power
Public Prestige (Popular support)
Must keep control of his/her own power
Media Attention
One Leader
People pay attention to the problems brought up and what they call attention to
Obama addresses the nation on Syria
Historic Conflicts about Line Item Veto
Clinton and the Line Item Veto Act:
Wanted to eliminate federal programs and project that could slash billions from budget, to cancel specific spending items, and close tax loopholes that aid special interests (pork barrel spending).
Normally, this kind of proposal would never make it past the Republicans in the very divided Congress. However, thanks a build-up of support for the line-item veto over the last decade, Clinton was granted the power to nullify specific parts of bills to help get them passed in Congress.
Controversy immediately arose over this decision and its possible breaching of separation of powers.
In Clinton v. City of New York, the court decided that the use of the line-item veto is in violation of the
Presentment Clause
of the Constitution (i.e. the procedure by which bills originating in Congress become laws)
Reagan's Pleas for Power of Line Item Veto
Throughout his presidency, Reagan continually asked legislators for power to veto portions of appropriations bills in order to combat fiscal irresponsibility
Reagan possessed the power of the LIV as Governor of California and felt that it would add "backbone" to his Presidency
In the face of over 200 billion dollars in deficit, some members of Congress supported his plea in the hopes that it would make for more effective economic legislation by allowing President to focus on what he considers to be wasteful or unwise items
However, there was much uproar from legislators who considered the LIV to be an intrusion into Congressional agenda, and a device that would give the President an unfair political advantage. Many argued that the LIV would require a constitutional amendment since Congress controls the "power of the purse"
However, Reagan's pleas proved ineffective, as he was continually denied the power of the LIV
Formal Powers: More important than informal powers?
Set in law, and therefore must always be followed, unlike informal powers
Legitimize President's role in the government
Formal powers give President tremendous power that, despite checks and balances, can still cause huge and irrevocable damage (as well as good improvements)

War Pass's clunker: Right result, wrong time
PHILADELPHIA - This game is so difficult that any edge, no matter how undeveloped, has to be taken under advisement. To play this game correctly, you have to be willing to listen and have an open mind. Do that and you can sometimes put yourself in position to make a score, if you have the patience to wait for it.
I start thinking about the next Kentucky Derby superfecta a few seconds after I miss the Derby superfecta. This bet has my name on it. It is just a question of when and how much.
I have found all kinds of ways to miss the payoff. Without getting into all the details, I have had a few good opinions. Just not enough of them at the same time.
Over the past few weeks, I started to have a feeling that this really was going to be the year. I heard something that really intrigued me.
A sharp friend of mine, someone who has been in the business for quite some time, was at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 24. He wandered into the paddock to check out War Pass. Just wanted a peek at the champ.
He saw nothing amiss, as the colt got ready for his 3-year-old debut. It was a glorified workout against hopeless competition. Still, my friend left the paddock with some concerns.
When he came back, he told me he did not think War Pass had the kind of physique that would have him at his best by Derby time. Physically, he was no Curlin.
I asked the obvious question. Was there some chance War Pass could be a Derby toss-out? He said "yes.''
I filed away his thoughts for future reference.
We all had seen War Pass. We knew how fast and how talented he looked. What we did not know was how the colt would withstand the run-up to the Derby. Some handle it. Some fall apart.
What we also did not know was what might happen if some horse ever beat War Pass to the front. It is the same question we ask every day at the track. What happens when this speedball does not make the lead? How will the horse react?
Frankly, I had no way to answer the question in relation to War Pass. Nobody did.
But as the Derby drew nearer, I planned to ask my friend what he saw. And I began to formulate a strategy.
If my friend still felt strongly about War Pass, if the colt was still unbeaten while looking unbeatable and the Derby had the kind of speed to keep the colt from a clear lead, I was more than willing to remove War Pass from the superfecta equation and get rid of most of the competition. There was, of course, the matter of the other 19 horses and how to sort through all that to create a bet. But that was for another time.
I believe lone speed can win another way when I see it. And not a second before I see it.
When that lone speed is likely to be a heavy favorite in a huge field where pace meltdowns happen as often as not, that would seem like a setup anybody might desire. I know I did.
Last week, as they drew entries for the Tampa Bay Derby, I told a few people of my potential plan.
When I looked at the past performances for the race, I saw one other potential speed horse, Make Me Zach. He had no chance to win but had shown much improved speed in his previous race. Still, there are horses that look fast in one race. And there are horses like War Pass that are fast in every race.
I wondered what might happen if Make Me Zach got to the lead, but not much. This was a weak field. War Pass figured to win easily. And I wanted War Pass to win very easily, by 10 lengths or more. Track record. The more dazzling, the better. Big headlines. Comparisons to Seattle Slew. Whatever it took.
I was in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City getting ready for the Atlantic 10 Conference basketball championship game when my phone rang. It was my friend saying something I could not understand. He was very excited about something. Then, I heard "War Pass'' followed by "last."
This was not the kind of headline I wanted or needed. He explained that War Pass had not made the lead and retreated to the back.
It was definitely not a performance like Smarty Jones's, when that colt was surrounded by four horses on the first turn of the Derby, bulled his way through, and ran down the speed in the stretch. When the 1-20 War Pass was surrounded on the first turn by 84-1 Gentleman James and 57-1 Make Me Zach, War Pass just backed out of there, showed no fight, and gave up.
My friend was not pleased that he might have been right about War Pass. I was even less pleased that my theory on lone speed had been borne out at the highest level. There was a time for that. It was the first Saturday in May, not the third Saturday in March.
Well, it was a nice betting theory. I just did not get the chance to test it.
Hey, it could have been worse. There was $717,212 out of a $765,884 show pool bet on War Pass.
It is, of course, possible that War Pass's defeat was a fluke. But I would definitely not bet on that.

Here is another vintage design from Crafty Secrets, which I think is really precious! I've layered it with some fun strips of Halloween designer papers from my stash (sorry I can't remember what paper stack set they came from), and the edges were decorated with the Gothic Gate punch from Martha Stewart. The little pumpkin in the corner is another fun cut from the October 31st Cricut cartridge! Add a ribbon and bow from Offray, and a spider web cut from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge, and it's a Spooktacular little greeting!
Thanks for your sweet comments and concerns about Madelyn. She is doing okay. We discovered that she also got her elbow hit by the mirror of the car as it went zooming by the bus, which makes the miracle of her not being hurt worse even greater. Today is a busy day with all of the authorities getting involved. She had her bruises photographed by the Police officer. I'll keep you updated on the hunt for the speeding car!
Happy crafting ~

WindowSMART 2012 is a SMART client for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. All are welcome to participate in the public beta, and no registration is required.
WindowSMART 2012 is a SMART disk monitoring for Windows Vista, 7, Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2. Its function is nearly identical to the Windows Home Server add-in Home Server SMART 2012, and they share about 90% of the same code.
WindowSMART 2012 consists of two main components, a user interface and a service. The user interface is where you can see the health of your disks, view detailed analysis and configure settings. The service, on the other hand, runs continuously, monitoring your disks at pre-determined intervals (default 10 minutes; you can change this). The service can send email notifications when problems are detected. You do no need to be logged into the computer for the service to run.
Features in WindowSMART 2012
- NEW Instant notification on iOS devices using Prowl
- NEW Instant notification on Android devices using Notify My Android
- Solid State Disk support – HSS can report correct SMART data for the following SSD controller manufacturers (note this is being tested by the community)
- Indilinx (seen in Crucial and Corsair)
- Indilinx Everest (seen in OCZ Octane)
- Intel
- SandForce (seen in Kingston, OCZ, Patriot)
- Works with disk pooling software Drive Bender and StableBit DrivePool.
- Default setting not only ignores virtual disks, but hides them from the UI (since they have no SMART data anyway).
- You can ignore individual problems on disks and also un-ignore (resume) them, either on an individual basis or for all problems on all disks.
- You can ignore entire disks (and resume them as well) – useful for hiding flash drives and media card readers, as well as disks that you know are showing incorrect information (rare, but it's been reported).
- Improved the ability to stop, start and restart the service.
- Shut down or reboot your computer from within the UI.
- Send alerts via email.
- Bug Report Helper – runs a small self-test to detect installation problems and provide details to help in troubleshooting.
- Continuous disk health monitoring by an always-on service.
- Monitors health of attributes and will generate alerts when a failure condition (threshold is met or exceeded) is detected.
- Monitors disk temperature and airflow temperature, and generates alerts when unacceptable temperatures are detected (airflow temperature is flagged in HSS 2012 only).
- Customizeable temperature thresholds for Warm, Hot, Overheated and Critical.
- Temperature display can be shown in Celsius (default), Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
- Proactive alerting when changes occur on certain "super critical" attributes such as bad sectors, spin retries and end-to-end errors, even if they have not actually "failed."
- List of physical disks shows status icons for an "at-a-glance" view of disk health.
- Each attribute shows a colored icon in addition to a status message relative to its health.
- Double-click any SMART attribute to learn more about that attribute on the selected disk.
- Supports most IDE/PATA and SATA controllers that expose SMART data via standard Win32 IOCTL calls or WMI.
- Supports most USB and FireWire enclosures that expose SMART data via standard Win32 IOCTL calls.
- Allows you to clean up data from "stale" disks — disks you've removed from the server.
- Allows you to perform a manual polling of the disks for the latest data, rather than waiting for the service to poll them again.

Corticosteroids have been used as drug treatment for some time. Lewis Sarett of Merck & Co. was the first to synthesize cortisone, using a complicated 36-step process that started with deoxycholic acid, which was extracted from ox bile . [43] The low efficiency of converting deoxycholic acid into cortisone led to a cost of US $200 per gram. Russell Marker , at Syntex , discovered a much cheaper and more convenient starting material, diosgenin from wild Mexican yams . His conversion of diosgenin into progesterone by a four-step process now known as Marker degradation was an important step in mass production of all steroidal hormones, including cortisone and chemicals used in hormonal contraception . [44] In 1952, . Peterson and . Murray of Upjohn developed a process that used Rhizopus mold to oxidize progesterone into a compound that was readily converted to cortisone. [45] The ability to cheaply synthesize large quantities of cortisone from the diosgenin in yams resulted in a rapid drop in price to US $6 per gram, falling to $ per gram by 1980. Percy Julian's research also aided progress in the field. [46] The exact nature of cortisone's anti-inflammatory action remained a mystery for years after, however, until the leukocyte adhesion cascade and the role of phospholipase A2 in the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes was fully understood in the early 1980s.
The growth of children and adolescents receiving orally inhaled corticosteroids, including QVAR, should be monitored routinely (., via stadiometry). If a child or adolescent on any corticosteroid appears to have growth suppression, the possibility that he/she is particularly sensitive to this effect should be considered. The potential growth effects of prolonged treatment should be weighed against clinical benefits obtained and the risks associated with alternative therapies. To minimize the systemic effects of orally inhaled corticosteroids, including QVAR, each patient should be titrated to his/her lowest effective dose [see Dosage and Administration ( )] .

Sautéed Broccoli Rabe with Garlic and Chiles (Rape Fritte)
Despite its name, broccoli rabe is botanically closer to turnip greens than to broccoli. Prep and Cook Time: 50 minutes. Notes: Buy broccoli rabe with firm green florets that show no sign of yellowing. Blanching the vegetable before sautéing removes some of its natural bitterness.
How to Make It
Trim broccoli rabe, removing tough parts of stems and any stems with a hollow core. Split stems (or quarter them if large) so they'll cook at the same rate as the florets. Rinse well.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add broccoli rabe (you may have to add in batches, waiting until some cooks down) and cook until tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Scoop out and set aside about 1/4 cup cooking liquid, then drain broccoli rabe in a colander. Let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes, then squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.
Heat oil in a 12-in. skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chiles and sauté until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add broccoli rabe and 1/2 tsp. salt and toss to coat with oil. Increase heat to high and cook until broccoli rabe is heated through and flavorful, about 5 minutes (if it looks dry, moisten with some of the reserved cooking liquid). Season with salt to taste. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.

Post Spawn Top WaterAuthor: Captain Mike Gerry | Posted: 05/23/2017
Post Spawn Top Water
As the season progresses on and each period brings a change to the fish patterns one that cannot be forgotten is the top water bite during the height of the post spawn fishing. There is probably no change in patterns as drastic as the move to post spawn top water fishing; problem is you have to be able to try different top water presentations during this period.
Many times during the top water season noise is a key to getting the bass to look up and make a bass attack top water baits; during the first few weeks of the post spawn many times a more subtle presentation is the key. A noisy buzz-bait may not be the right presentation, something more subtle like a spook without the BB's in it may be more of the ticket to success. Even a small Pop-r that just makes a low volume pop that you can work slow, and pop with a light movement of the tip; another one I like during this period is a fluke it's light easy to work extremely subtle and moves like a darting bait fish over the top of brim beds or grass very easily.
I believe with a little research and some time to look around that looking for something different may be the key to loading the boat on top water fishing. I am a traditional guy but there are many fishermen who like to try something different and this is the time during the post spawn to look for a new presentation with different baits. If you're really looking for a different way to catch fish on top I think there are many soft plastic subtle top water baits that will be different and bring you many bites in the post spawn. Tail action with soft plastic top water baits can be big; their movement over the top or just skimming the first inch or so of water under the surface is deadly during the post spawn period. This may very well be the time to get away from some traditional top water baits look for a unique top water presentation and have a blast doing something a little different.

Are Loans Without Guarantor Convenient For Your Financial Need?
Increasing expenses and the need for funds to underpin requirements, compels you to opt for loans. Resourcing the loans without a guarantor is the matter of concern out here. The terms for such types of loans are similar to bad credit loans and unsecured loans. These loans are alternative means for availing finance for the borrowers, who do not have the back up.
Insight on the No Guarantor Loans
No guarantor loans are the lending option provided to help the borrower balance its critical financial issues. These loans are beneficial in terms of borrowing, as the lender provides the loan without any guarantee. There are many reasons to consider, which makes it most suitable type of loan. Foremost reason to opt for these loans is the benefit of disbursing the funds into your deposit account in short time period. Here is a quick insight on the no guarantor loans:
- Quick approval as the verification is completed;
- The loan amount disbursed is based on the credit history;
- The lender makes sure that you are capable of paying off the loan well in time;
- The repayment tenure is flexible;
- Sufficient time is given to you for the repayment of loan, keeping in view your repayment capability and financial condition;
- Lender provides realistic offers on loans without guarantor;
- You are not entitled to pay any upfront fee;
- Loans are without any formality.
Before you make your mind to avail the loans, it is advisable to do some research. Once you have found the reliable lender, he will help you in making the balance to your funds. Such loans are indispensible for paying bills, debts and other purposes.
Bad Credit Score Improved through Loans
No guarantor loan does need an introduction. In times when you are short of funds and want quick and credible finance option, these loans are your saviour in the situations of falling credit score. When you apply for the loans, remember to check for all the pre-arrangements that are defined by the lender himself. Your loan will only be approved if you comply with conditions of the lender.
Many lenders out there are of the opinion that your bad credit ratings does not makes you eligible for loans, they are right to some extent. However, many other loan lenders are still offering you loan in your bad credit situations because they understand your need of funds in the absence of regular source of income. Lenders make special arrangements for people living on benefits, to provide them loans on benefits with no guarantor option.
Prepare your budget and get idea of expenses that you have on the loans. In this way you will be able to calculate your loan requirement and apply for the loan depending on your needs. The loans are availed on easy terms. Make proper use of the funds, as these help you to serve purpose, and make your financial situation strong.

Summit Springs Battlefield Colorado - Ghost town
Photos Courtesy of Mike Sinnwell - May 2008
Walking on and around the Battlefield, through the arroyos, and near the camp site was one of those adventures that does not come easy to put to words. I could almost hear the sounds arising from the Soldiers and the brave Native Americans. Approximately 250 Soldiers from the 5th United States Regiment of Calvary and 50 Pawnee Scouts attacked the Cheyenne campsite. There are numerous accounts of the total wounded and killed but according to the Cheyenne it was 15 warriors and 30 women and children. Buffalo Bill (William Cody) participated as a scout. Only one minor wound to the troopers was reported.
A 12 year old Cheyenne boy, Little Hawk, was one of the heroes of the battle. He saw the troopers and scouts charge over the hills to the north and instead of fleeing to the south he rode back to the camp and warned the village. Unfortunately he was killed by the Pawnee warriors. Later they did site his courage.
The Battle of Summit Springs on July 11, 1869 was an armed conflict between elements of the United States Army under the command of Colonel Eugene A. Carr and a group of Cheyenne Dog Soldiers led by Tall Bull (who died during the engagement.) The battle, a response to a series of Indian raids in north-central Kansas by Chief Tall Bull's band of the Cheyenne, was fought near Sterling Colorado.
A viewer writes - Thursday, March 17, 2011 -- Thanks for the photos - this is an historic site I have on my bucket list as my husband's family came from Kansas and many have been the tales of the pioneers and their tribulations. Sorry to native Americans but this was no act of war to murder children wantonly cross fire is one thing murder another. My heart is with Susanah Alderdice and what she suffered after the wanton murder of her children. They all need to be in our memory minus reformed politically correct history on either side of the spectrum
A viewer writes - June 5, 2012 - we visited this site today. Wind was horrific - we found the road chained off at the county road so had to walk in to see the area/monuments. Much fenced off with "no trespassing" signs. Too bad this history isn't available and more easily accessible. Private property owner's shouldn't be able to keep people out of places like this.
A viewer writes - Sunday, November 04, 2012 - in response to A viewer on- June 5, 2012 at Summit Springs - Much fenced off with "no trespassing" signs. Too bad this history isn't available and more easily accessible. Private property owner's shouldn't be able to keep people out of places like this. If people visiting would not shoot holes in windmill and water tank and not tear down fences or cut wires maybe the property owner's would be more receptive to visitors. Also had they thought about asking permission to enter private property?
Rocky Responds - I tend to agree with the comments. I made numerous phone calls etc to find the owners and they graciously allowed me access to the site. I can understand the owners concerns after viewing the vandalism in person.
A viewer writes -- Saturday, March 09, 2013 -- The date was 1869, not 59. Also 50 Pawnee scouts were the first to enter the village and they killed any Cheyenne they saw, which was the way of the Plain's Indian. These Dog Soldiers were some of the worst murderers on the plains. When I walked the site I could only wonder how many white people died at the hands of these murderers?
Rocky Says - THANKS for the correction - I will fix. I appreciate the input.

ALBANY – Nearly 40 percent of city schools did not have an approved school-violence response plan implemented by the January deadline, a new audit shows.
The lack of such plans is alarming, given the rash of high-profile school shooting incidents, said Comptroller Carl McCall, who released the audit yesterday.
"Now, every school has to be prepared for the unthinkable," McCall said. "Our audit found that far too many schools are not prepared."
The city requires each school on an annual basis to have a police-department approved violence prevention and response plan in place.
Such plans include emergency contingency procedures, metal detector scanning procedures, school security guard assignments, emergency contacts, and controls over admission at school entrances.
City officials say 62 percent of city schools had police-approved safety plans as of last December, which represented a marked improvement.
In December 1999, only 7 percent of city schools had approved plans, McCall's audit said, adding the total jumped to 30 percent as of last May.
In written responses to the audit, Board of Education officials say they are working to fix the problem.
They say this year, more schools than ever have emergency responses in place with the help of a new computer program.
"We believe that it represents a major step in security," Board of Education Executive Director Gregory Thomas wrote in a letter dated Jan. 22.
McCall recognized the improvements yesterday, saying that the "response and approval rate has risen dramatically."

LANSING — A former spokesman for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality who resigned over the Flint drinking water crisis has joined the Lansing lobbying corps.
Brad Wurfel, who said last summer that Flint residents worried about lead contamination of their water should "relax," registered as a lobbyist in July and is working for the Lansing firm of Kandler Reed Khoury & Muchmore, records show.
"I work with a wide range of clients to help them address challenges and find more effective ways to communicate," Wurfel said about his new job, in an updated posting on his LinkedIn page.
Wurfel did not return a phone message from the Free Press.

An introduction
To the search
For the love of God
In abstract existence
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.St John 1:1-4
Without words, we have no thoughts, nor reason. Without reason there is no philosophy, nor mathematics. Some theoretical Physicists hold that: "The Universe is nothing but pure abstract mathematics." If that is so, without words nothing exists, with them everything exists.
The idea that existence is based on The Word and not mathematics is not new, as the quote from the Bible reminds us, this idea is well over 2000 years old. Originally proposed by the Jews in The Bible between (4004 BC) circa 6020 years ago and up to approximately 10,000 years ago, if one supposes there are gaps in the genealogies. God and The Word have been interchangeable symbols for the same meaning in those scriptures for a very long time. It was also proposed independently by Plato's forms circa 370 BC.
The reason for writing this is that physicists believe that the definition of the Universe is limited to pure mathematics. However, my point is that mathematics is grown out of words. Mathematics weeds out the inconsistencies and paradoxes. So mathematics is a smaller subset of words. Abstract existence extends beyond mathematics to include all words. That difference is huge.
The English definition of a word is a symbol used to share meanings. Symbols are anything used to share meanings, including letters, normal words, pictures, gestures, pheromone trails for ants and pollen dances for bees.
Words fall into five distinct sets:

The English definition of a word is a symbol used to share meanings. Symbols are anything used to share meanings, including letters, normal words, pictures, gestures, pheromone trails for ants and pollen dances for bees.
Words fall into five distinct sets:
- Nonsense - the chaos of the beginning of the Universe - more recently used in rhymes and love songs.
- Lies or errors - intentionally or unintentionally deceive others as first used by life in camouflage. Some would hold that while lies use symbols, the symbols lose their status as words because they do not share meaning. However the lies can be talked about and as such are words in their own right.
- Paradoxes - that area of thought where analytical thought is needed for the first time to discover if it is a paradox or not. For example the simplest: "This is false." It is neither true nor false it is a paradox.
- Every day truth, such as: It is raining. It may be true today but it is not a requirement of existence that it be true tomorrow.
- Lastly, things which are essentially true such as 2/2 = 1. It was true from the beginning of time and will be true forever more. Pure mathematics is a part of this self consistent truth that takes you step by step proof by proof to more and more true statements that can be used to create computers, aeroplanes or spaceships.
Please note that it took over 2100 years to spot the first, and so far only wrong, axiom. That is Euclid's axiom that given a straight line and a point, not on that straight line: There is only 1 straight line that does not eventually touch the first line. That the second line is said to be parallel to the first line.
It was the 18th century before mathematicians saw the possibility that Euclidean axiom might be wrong if the underlying space were bent and it was only in the 20th century that astronomers "scientifically proved" that we live in a non-Euclidean Universe because gravity bends the fabric of space. Although for all practical purposes on Earth we might as well be in a Euclidean geometry as the differences are so small. The differences are only visible at cosmological scales.
These axioms are the foundation of accepted mathematical statements.
From those axioms mathematics creates logical statements that is statements that are true, false, or paradoxes using nothing but the logical tools of "and", "or", "not" and occasionally "exclusive or" that is one and only one of two statements has to be true. These logical operators combine the accepted mathematical statements into new statements. It then excludes the false and paradoxical statements and includes the true statements into accepted mathematical statements as "logically proven to be true". The whole of mathematics is built this way excluding the false and paradoxes and including the logically proven true ones.
But the false statements and the paradoxes still exist they are a part of the abstract existence of our conversations, dreams and imaginations.
Theoretical physics expects the physical Universe to be a part of pure mathematics. Yet you cannot develop mathematics without words and you cannot exclude words from the Universe. They exist in the Universe and have physical effects on the Universe. Terry Pratchett would not have been so rich if he had not got a vivid inconsistent mind. Those inconsistencies in his thoughts earned him a physical reward.
This is looking at the possibility that we have to go back to the word as the foundation of the Universe to explain life. J. K. Rowling is also rich. These are two physical experiments, the life and works of Terry Pratchett and J. K. Rowling , prove to my mind the Universe is based on words and not mathematics.
This is very fundamental form of communication theory. It suggests that every physical state also has a meaning attached to it as well, which falls into one of those five categories, mentioned earlier.
Science is based on finding patches of self consistent truth and trying to connect them; bringing them together to make a larger self consistent body of knowledge.
This is a quick look at the implications of how changing the foundation from mathematics to words, that is symbols and their shared meanings changes our understanding of existence.
If existence is founded on the word, then words are always present, they contain all knowledge and are contain all outcomes so could be thought of as all powerful and by and large benevolent because they are used for sharing information and the whole of existence just looked at as a collection of words is timeless and eternal. May be this difference in foundation unveils all the attributes of God?

Human Energy Field – Mental Body February 20, 2009Posted by the energy healer in Alternative Therapy, Healing, Holistic Therapy, Natural Healing.
Tags: Aura, Energy Healing, Healing, Holistic Therapy, Human Energy Field, London, Mental Body; energetic anatomy
This is part III in a series of posts about the human energy field which begin here, see the first post for some background on the human energy field, or my previous post here.
The Mental Body is our vehicle of expression for intellect, ideas and thoughts. It can have healthy or unhealthy activity and thoughts. The mental body can be undercharged or overcharged; we can describe someone as a bright student, which reflects the appearance of a healthy mental body and the third layer of their energy field would be pulsating bright yellow energy.
Thoughts can become holding patterns on this level. Healers can actually tune in and hear some of these thought forms in someone's energy field.
A healthy mental body would have clarity and a clear thought process. If it was unhealthy it would be squashing the emotional level, this is very common with our education system. We become thinkers and not used to feeling. Or the emotional level could overwhelm the mental level, so we would have lots of emotional process with little clarity.
This is the level where we hold our thought forms. Thinking does not only happen in the brain, each cell in our body is conditioned by the thoughts we have. This web of mental energy affects our emotional and physical well-being.
Energy healing can help to clear some of our unhealthy thoughts so our energy can flow again.

Literary critic Harold Bloom wrote that Heart of Darkness had been analysed more than any other work of literature that is studied in universities and colleges, which he attributed to Conrad's "unique propensity for ambiguity." However, it was not a big success during Conrad's life. [12] [13] When it was published as a single volume in 1902 with two more novellas, "Youth" and "The End of the Tether", it received the least commentary from critics. [13] F. R. Leavis referred to Heart of Darkness as a "minor work" and criticised its "adjectival insistence upon inexpressible and incomprehensible mystery". [14] Conrad himself did not consider it to be particularly notable. [13] By the 1960s, though, it was a standard assignment in many college and high school English courses.
The video game Fallout: New Vegas (2010) features a character in many ways similar to Kurtz; a man who refers to himself as Caesar. Caesar was originally a diplomat who went out into the post-apocalyptic world in an attempt to both increase the knowledge of the now tribal inhabitants and learn from their cultures to facilitate understanding in the wasteland. Caesar eventually went mad with power after becoming the de facto leader of one such tribe and led them in dismantling other tribes who then assimilated into his group. Now, he is the ruler of Caesar's Legion, a large army of tribals modeled after the Roman Empire . Like Kurtz, Caesar is an educated, charismatic figure who is worshipped as a god by his underlings; in Caesar's case, his followers believe him to be the reincarnation of Mars , the Roman god of war.

A Nipissing University Community member may disclose an experience of sexual violence to you, regardless of your role, or position in the University. The following information provides some general dos and don'ts to assist you if someone discloses their experience of sexual violence to you:
Listen – Allow the person time to share with you what information they feel comfortable sharing. Be supportive and listen non-judgmentally. They may not act or feel like themselves. They may be experiencing a range of emotions, such as confusion, guilt, anxiety, or sadness. Try to remember that any response they have is okay, as everyone responds to trauma differently. Don't try to give advice; just listen and empathize that what they have experienced is very painful.
Don't pry for information – They may not be comfortable sharing all of the details with you. Don't ask for more details about the sexual violence unless it is directly related to safety, or if there is any perceived current or future threat of harm.
Encourage them to seek help – Reassure them that they can inform University Security, the local police and/or to seek medical attention, if they haven't already. For more information on this, please click here to see the section "I've Experienced Sexual Violence." Offer to support them in contacting a Counsellor or Crisis Line if you feel they need to talk to a professional.
Be patient – It might take some time to get back to "normal." This can be a stressful time for people supporting an individual who has been sexually assaulted, too. Take care of yourself. Click here for a list of community services should you also want to seek out support for yourself.

Simple strategy to buy youtube views
In case you are the sort of individual who does these sorts of things on the web: purchase eBooks, subscribes to pamphlets, enroll for a free smaller than normal course, join a participation site, and so on then you most likely have seen another pattern. Bloggers and Internet Marketers alike nowadays appear to utilize recordings to help advance and offer their items like never before some time recently. A couple of years back, implanting and spilling your own recordings into your site was somewhat of a torment unless you utilized a video site like Youtube or Vimeo. Indeed, even right up 'til today utilizing social locales like these to stream your recordings is an extraordinary approach to get your recordings on the web and effortlessly installed into your site.
In any case, there are a couple issues with broadcasting your recordings by utilizing such administrations. With the end goal of this dialog, we will simply take the case of utilizing Youtube since it's the most prominent video facilitating social site. I understand, however, that different destinations like Vimeo and Blip.tv have comparable instruments. With Youtube there's no product you have to download and introduce, you just make yourself a record on their site, review a little profile for yourself, and afterward in a couple short minutes you can begin transferring your recordings to Youtube Views Guru. Generally (and to keep up entire control over your recordings), it's most likely best to introduce the product to your own server. EVP gives you an extremely pleasant and simple to take after instructional exercise on the most proficient method to introduce the script to your web facilitating account; notwithstanding, in case you are not use to introducing programs this way or Word Press, then it could get a bit of confounding.
To additionally convolute the establishment procedure, EVP likewise makes utilization of a database, so a client would need to set that up too. In case you are a video advertiser and you are not kidding about expanding your deals and changes, split testing which video individuals see when they go to your site is critical. Simple Video Player makes split testing simple to set up. Basically sign into the program (which is introduced on your web facilitating server) and pick two recordings you would get a kick out of the chance to part test. At that point with a couple snaps of the mouse you can create a duplicate and glue code which you can glue directly into your website page.

Re: 71st Tank Destroyer Battalion 1st Armor
In reply to:
71st Tank Destroyer Battalion 1st Armor
Robyn, I don't know about a 71st TD, but the First Armored Division (Old Ironsides) had a 701st TD.Several years ago, there was a book written about the History of Old Ironsides.After the war, the men of the Division formed an association and still meet annually.Their last meeting was a couple of months ago in Kentucky where the division was formed.Their Sec-Tres. is Joe Theriot, P. O. Box 2088, Elizabethtown, Ky. 42702.I am sure that Joe could give you the history of the 701st.
My father, now deceased, was a member of B Co. 123rd Ord Bn. when the Division was formed and stayed with them until 1945.He was a past president of the 1st Armored Division Association.

The CIFASD Informatics Core provides a research data resource to be used by investigators to explore the relationships of face, brain, and behavior to improve the diagnosis of FAS and work towards therapies for alcohol exposed children. The Informatics Core has the following specific aims for the next five years:
Aim 1 : Continued cyber infrastructure support. The Informatics Core will consult and collaborate with CIFASD clinical projects, cores, and developmental projects to support the existing data submission to the CIFASD Central Repository, manage those data, and make those data available for use to accomplish CIFASD goals.
Aim 2 : Collection of additional data sets. The Informatics Core will securely bring new data sets into the CIFASD Central Repository for cross-study and cross-modality data analysis amongst CIFASD projects.
Aim 3 : Support of affiliated projects. The Informatics Core will develop technical solutions that will allow the comparison of data between CIFASD and affiliated projects. The Informatics core will use the following methods to support the goals of this project and CIFASD: The ongoing management of standardized data in the CIFASD Central Repository will provide core consortium resources including;data input and bulk upload tools, a data dictionary to standardize terms across studies, a cross query tool so that data from multiple studies can be integrated for synthetic studies, and data browsing tools that enable investigators to ensure data quality. Expert consultation will support the input, export, and integration of data in the Central Repository to lower the barrier of use for investigators and improve data quality of synthetic studies. This consultation will also regularly report on data in the Central Repository to track consortium progress goals. Expert software engineering will provide new input tools and modify existing tools to support the changing needs of CIFASD projects as well as new research projects that are added as part of the third Phase of the CIFASD program.
The goal of the CIFASD Informatics Core is to support research on the relationships efface, brain, and behavior in order to improve the diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and work towards therapies for alcohol exposed children. By providing a central, standardized data resource for CIFASD, the Informatics Core will provide a means by which comprehensive diagnostics and therapies can be developed.

Fox Run Automotive has been serving the Newark/Bear/Glasgow area for over seventeen years! We've grown from a modest two bay shop to our current state of the art twelve bay facility. Using a host of specialized equipment and nine ASE certified technicians, we are able to service and maintain all makes and models, both foreign and domestic. We can diagnose today's complex computer systems, perform exacting alignments, and expertly repair any mechanical problem, large or small.
Our ASE Certified Technicians have the experience and training to fix your vehicle right the first time, and let you know of any problems you can avoid in the future. What are ASE Certified Technicians you ask? You wouldn't have an unlicensed electrician work on your house, or an back alley doctor give you a flu shot, right? Using ASE certified technicians means that you have the peace of mind that comes from knowing the person who worked on your car took the time to become voluntarily certified. They put their knowldege on the line during a rigorous test. We are qualified to perform all factory maintenance, including fluid services, tune-ups and timing belt replacements. We also have in-house towing and are always ready to help you out in a jam.
Our courteous shuttle driver is available to get you home, or pick you up when repairs are completed.

|Marienberg Fortress
Our weekend in Würzburg was one of our favorites of all the scenic towns in Germany. Our first stop was the Marienberg Fortress the view from this location overlooks the city and beyond. This is a must see. Take your time and hike up (you will see more) or drive up (there are several locations to park). We really liked our leisure walk in the back part of the fortress through the vineyard which was quiet and tranquil. We walked a different route back down to the Main Old Bridge then we enjoyed a cold glass of white wine, listened to street music and waited for the sun to set. The ambiance is somewhat enthralling immersed in a crowd of people laughing and drinking their fill.
From the city center, many places can easily be reached by foot. Always walk around the town and notice the architecture of the historic buildings. It's really worth staying in the city center which is convenient to the main attractions. We stayed at the Greifensteiner Hof which provided us easy access to the city. See our Trip Advisor review link of Greifensteiner Hof and restaurant at the bottom of this page.
Here are a few highlights of the trip.
Marienkapelle "Mary's Chapel"
St. Kilian Cathedral
Statue of St. Burkard the first bishop of Würzburg
Statue of St. Joseph with young Jesus on the Alte Mainbrucke "Old Main Bridge"
Maschikuli Tower surrounded by vineyards
Kappele Würzburg "Pilgrimage Church"
For the history buffs... On March 16, 1945 approximately 90% of this city was destroyed in a matter of 17 minutes! During WWII, it was fire bombed by 225 British Lancaster bombers ending with 5,000 casualties. The following 20yrs, all important buildings were reconstructed mostly by citizens known as Trummerfrauen "Rubble Women" since the men were either dead or prisoners of war.
For the wine enthusiasts... Würzburg is known as the German capital wine region. It is famous for its Franconian mineralic-dry white wines and it is said that Silvaner grapes produce the best vintage in the world.
And for the beer enthusiasts... Würzburger Hofbrau was founded in 1643 by the Main-Franconian Prince-Bishop Philipp von Schonborn. It is the oldest business in Würzburg and is still brewing the famous Pilsner style Hofbrau known as the "Royal Brew" the flavor was historically controlled by the Prince-Bishop himself.
Truly, a weekend at this charming old town is not enough, it is definitely a good place to visit again since there are so much more to see and do.

Since their inception, the Dandy Warhols have always trafficked in in-jokes, from winking nods to/swipes at contemporaries in their songs to their very name. But "Distortland," the band's ninth album, sounds downright insular: fully formed, in its way, but nearly impenetrable. From the opening "Search Party" — a throb of murky guitar, piano, and the dissipated voice of Courtney Taylor-Taylor sustaining words until they fade into nothingness — tracks are covered in a wooze that the songs have a hard time crawling out of. It's equally stifling to the metallic chunk of "Semper Fidelis" as it is to "Give," a stately folk-pop song trapped in a haze. Some light shines through (and some air comes in) when "Distortland" is cracked into pieces and each track is consumed by itself. It lets "All the Girls in London" swing, and makes clear that the lushness of "Doves" is both oppressive and awfully close to graceful — a neat trick, even if the Dandy Warhols only pull it off once.
ESSENTIAL "Doves"
The Dandy Warhols perform at the Sinclair April 15.

Bookstore | NONFICTION | SPORTS & RECREATION
The unlikely writing alliance between Lilith Eden and Craig Suits came about through a mutual membership in a highly prestigious blog site called Hubpages.com.
Mr. Suits explains that while reviewing new bloggers, he was attracted by Lilith's pretty face and went on to read a few of her submissions.
Captivated by her college-trained literary style, he commented on each of her blogs and she quickly responded.
They discovered and eerie similarity between two separate blogs each had written that caused conversation to bloom on one of the internet's video communication programs and the coalition was born.
One thousand miles and 46 years apart, Craig's field experience and Lilith's literary knowledge led to their first book as co-authors: Treasure In Your Backyard.
They are currently working on a science fiction thriller, which they hope will make it to the big screen.
