PORTLAND, Maine -- Casey James Fury, the man charged with sparking a destructive fire on board the USS Miami, has been offered a proposal to resolve his criminal case without a trial, according to new court documents filed this week.
Prosecutors from the U.S. attorneys office in Portland, Maine, and Fury's attorney, public defender David Beneman, have been meeting for the past several weeks to discuss a potential resolution of the trial without the need for a grand jury indictment.
In a motion filed Monday, Beneman said the two sides have made "significant progress," and asked the judge presiding over the case to delay the deadline by which prosecutors must bring forward a grand jury indictment.
"Very recently, a substantive proposal has been presented to the defendant," Beneman wrote in the Oct. 29 motion. "An additional period of time is needed to review the proposal. Hurricane Sandy is currently raging to our south and sending high winds, waves and tides toward the Maine coast. Counsel cannot be certain how long or significant the weather disruption might be and what effect it may have on office operation or attorney client communications. An additional enlargement of time is needed to complete the current discussions which have produced the pending proposal which the defense needs time to fully explore and explain to the client."
Prosecutors say Fury, 24, has confessed to setting a fire in May that ravaged the forward area of the USS Miami, a Los Angeles-class attack submarine. The ship was undergoing an overhaul at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, at the time.
Investigators say Fury, a civilian painter and sandblaster, has also confessed to lighting a second fire underneath the same ship on June 16.
Fury allegedly set both fires in order to leave work early. He had been assigned to work on the Miami while it was undergoing an overhaul at the shipyard.
Fury was arrested in July, following an investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. He was ordered held without bail as he awaits a grand jury indictment.
Under federal law, prosecutors were previously required to seek an indictment by Aug. 22. U.S. Magistrate Judge John H. Rich III granted an extension of the deadline Monday, pushing the date by which a deal must be reached or an indictment must occur to Nov. 30.
In motions filed in federal court in Portland, Beneman has explained that foregoing the indictment process could ultimately save "substantial national resources extending beyond just court resources."

Interior of 2015 Volvo XC90 Shown Before Full Reveal
Interior of All-New Flagship SUV Showcases Technology, Premium Materials
The Volvo XC90 was a big game-changer for the brand when it debuted in 2003, giving the iconic Swedish brand an entry into the then-new premium crossover market and a spiritual successor to the popular 740 and 940 wagons from the '80s and '90s. Volvo's financial issues over the past decade are no great secret, and one of the programs put on hold during that time was the next-generation XC90, giving the original model an epic 12-year model run. However, Volvo's SUV flagship is finally getting the attention it's due, with an all-new 2015 Volvo XC90 due for a full debut in August. But in the meantime, we're getting a sneak peek at the cabin of the new model, with a sleek, premium look befitting its Scandinavian heritage.
Central to the '15 XC90's new look is a large tablet-like touchscreen interface in the center console, which almost completely eliminates physical buttons on the dashboard, with the only manual control of note being a discreet small volume knob and play, forward, and reverse audio controls below it. Adding to the upscale ambience is Nappa leather, dark flame birch wood trim, an available Orrefors crystal gear lever, and a diamond-cut start/stop button and volume control knob.
Volvo is also touting improved interior room and comfort, with special attention paid to the second and third-row passengers. Optional "Contour" front seats offer optimized lateral support from shoulders to thighs. Despite being larger and roomier than its predecessor, the new XC90 will also have the smallest engine in its history, a 2.0L I-4. However, performance should be more than sufficient with an expected compound turbo-and-supercharged version making more than 300 hp and a an optional plug-in hybrid coming after its introduction.

PASADENA — The Rose Bowl is different.
That is why Stanford linebacker Shayne Skov positioned himself properly as the game wound down. He wanted to make certain his head coach, David Shaw, would receive the proper soaking from the proper Gatorade cooler.
And so, as the noise built over the final seconds to punctuate Stanford's first victory here in Pasadena since New Year's Day of 1972, Skov hemmed in Shaw on the sideline. And his teammates brought the soaking.
"I just wanted to make sure he didn't get away," Skov said.
He didn't. And neither did Stanford's 20-14 victory over Wisconsin here Tuesday, in a muscle-against-muscle, slam-against-slam physical battle. This was something beyond a regular satisfying win, however. The Cardinal has won many games over the past four years. They have won other bowl games.
But the Rose Bowl is different.
The Stanford players began to sense how different it was Tuesday from the moment they ran out of the dark stadium tunnel. As their eyes hit the Southern California sunshine, they noticed something amazing.
"I've never seen so many Stanford fans, and they were so excited," said linebacker Trent Murphy.
There were at least 40,000 of them — that's how many tickets the school sold — and probably many more in the 93,000-seat stadium. Often, there aren't as many Stanford fans at Stanford home games. Two years ago at the Orange Bowl, maybe half as many attended. The same a year ago at the Fiesta Bowl. But this season, when the Cardinal clinched a Pac-12 championship and earned a trip to Pasadena, alumni began snapping up seats as if they were free shares of Apple stock.
It just shows you what the Rose Bowl brand name can do. So much has changed about college football over the past 10 or 15 years, what with the BCS Bowl system and computer rankings and regular season games being played on Wednesday and Thursday nights. But at least the Rose Bowl is the same nearly every year. It has the century-old tradition, the geographic setting, the featured time slot on New Year's Day.
"Every bowl game is an opportunity," Murphy said. "But the Rose Bowl is a little sweeter for us."
The Rose Bowl is different. That's why. As every great Rose Bowl should, this one matched the Pac-12 champion against the Big Ten champion. And while Tuesday's game was not so beautiful aesthetically, the proceedings had a certain purity. Wisconsin likes to play football the same way Stanford likes to play football: Line up, smash hard, repeat.
"Man against man, a physical battle," Skov said.
"When I came in at halftime, my body was feeling kind of beat up," said defensive back Usua Amanam. "But I think we all kind of expected that."
Stanford took an early 14-0 lead because it won that battle early. But the opposing Badgers, despite the five previous defeats they sustained this season, chose not to sag. They outscored the Cardinal 14-3 in the second quarter.
This led to a third quarter that was a meat grinder in cleats. Neither team could move the ball against the other. Stanford and Wisconsin could have changed uniforms, and no one could have told the difference.
"We weren't getting yards on first down," said Stanford tight end Zach Ertz, "and that made it difficult for us to get more first downs. Their linebackers were flowing hard to stop the run. But in the fourth quarter, we got back to doing what we do — running the ball and making those tough yards."
In this case, that consisted of one final physical push that led to a 22-yard field goal from kicker Jordan Williamson that gave Stanford a six-point lead. But it also gave the ball back to Wisconsin with 6:22 left and a chance to drive for a go-ahead touchdown. Stanford required a big defensive play to clinch the victory. On another day, a defensive play might not be remembered as the play of the game.
But the Rose Bowl is different. Throughout the day, Shaw had watched as his defensive linemen tipped the passes of Wisconsin quarterback Curt Phillips at the line of scrimmage — and how Stanford defensive backs nearly picked off those passes.
"I kept telling our guys, 'Somebody's going to make that interception, somebody's going to get one of those,' " Shaw said.
It turned out to be Amanam, the defensive back from Bellarmine Prep in San Jose. Phillips threw another tipped ball. Amanam picked up the ball's flight. He dove and caught it just before it touched the ground.
"I kind of just read the quarterback's eyes," Amanam said. "And fortunately, the ball just fell into my hands."
That happened with 2:03 left. The interception basically clinched the victory after the Stanford offense made one more first down. From there, Shaw went to the victory stand and accepted the Rose Bowl trophy.
Shaw is a Stanford alum and former Cardinal player. As such, Shaw had participated in the Aloha Bowl and the Blockbuster Bowl. But never the Rose Bowl. The Cardinal had also won five other bowl games since the last time it won here in 1972. But none was going to mean as much as this — and Shaw knew it.
In fact, Monday night at the team hotel, Shaw unveiled a video to the team that featured Heisman Trophy winner Jim Plunkett speaking about the Rose Bowl tradition and how much his own Rose Bowl victory in 1971 still meant to him.
"It's what we wanted to do, to let them know how this game is something these guys talk about years later," Shaw said.
The players apparently got it.
"That was inspirational," linebacker Murphy, who then paid it the ultimate compliment for a college student. "I posted it on my Twitter."
This Stanford team will always be remembered as one of the school's best. The Cardinal finished the season by winning eight straight games and the Pac-12 title. But the team's legacy would not have been complete without what happened Tuesday.
Because the Rose Bowl is different.

Parathyroid adenomas represent a common endocrine problem, whereas parathyroid carcinomas are very rare tumors. With an estimated incidence of 0.015 per 100,000 population and an estimated prevalence of .005% in the United States, parathyroid cancer is one of the rarest of all human cancers.[1,2] In Europe, the United States, and Japan, parathyroid carcinoma has been estimated to cause hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in .017% to 5.2% of the cases; however, many series report this entity to account for less than 1% of patients with primary HPT.[1,3,4,5] The median age in most series is between 45 and 51 years.[1] The ratio of affected women to men is 1:1 in contrast to primary HPT in which there is a significant female predominance (ratio of 3–4:1).[5]
The etiology of parathyroid carcinoma is unknown; however, an increased risk of parathyroid cancer has been associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 and with autosomal dominant familial isolated hyperparathyroidism.[6,7,8] Parathyroid cancer has also been associated with external radiation exposure; however, most reports describe an association between radiation and the more common parathyroid adenoma.[1,5]
Parathyroid cancer typically runs an indolent, albeit tenacious, course because the tumor has a rather low malignant potential. At initial presentation, very few patients with parathyroid carcinoma have metastases either to regional lymph nodes (<5%) or distant sites (<2%).[1] In the National Cancer Database series of 286 patients, only 16 (5.6%) had lymph node metastases noted at the time of initial surgery.[2] A higher proportion of parathyroid cancers locally invade the thyroid gland, overlying strap muscles, recurrent laryngeal nerve, trachea, or esophagus. Some patients are not identified preoperatively or intraoperatively as having parathyroid carcinoma and undergo parathyroid procedures devised to treat parathyroid adenoma. Only after review of the postsurgical pathology, or when these patients experience local or distant recurrence, is a correct diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma made.[1] Parathyroid carcinoma tends to be localized in the inferior parathyroid glands; one series reported that the primary tumor originating in the inferior parathyroid glands was found in 15 of 19 cases involving local invasion.[9,10]
Approximately 40% to 60% of patients experience a postsurgical recurrence, typically in the range of 2 to 5 years after the initial resection.[11,12] In most cases, hypercalcemia precedes physical evidence of recurrent disease. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Hypercalcemia for more information.) The location of recurrence is typically regional, either in the tissues of the neck or in cervical lymph nodes, and accounts for approximately two thirds of recurrent cases.[13] Often, local recurrences in the neck are difficult to identify because they may be small and multifocal, and they may involve scar tissue from a previous surgical procedure. Use of ultrasonography, sestamibi-thallium scanning, and positron emission tomography may help to identify difficult-to-detect recurrent disease.[14,15,16] In older studies, distant metastases were reported to occur in 25% of patients, primarily in the lungs but also in the bone and liver.[13,17] More recent series indicate that the incidence of recurrence may be higher, possibly because of more accurate pathologic diagnoses that exclude patients with atypical adenomas.[1] Because of its low malignant potential, the morbidity and mortality associated with parathyroid cancer primarily result from the metabolic consequences of the disease and not directly from malignant growth.[9,17] In the National Cancer Database series of 286 patients, the 10-year survival rate was reported to be approximately 49%.[2] A smaller series has reported a 10-year survival rate of 77%, which might be related to improvements in supportive medical care and in the prevention of fatal hypercalcemia.[9]
Operatively, parathyroid cancers may be distinguished from adenomas by their firm, stony-hard consistency and lobulation; adenomas tend to be soft, round, or oval in shape, and of a reddish-brown color.[5] In most series, the median maximal diameter of parathyroid carcinoma is between 3.0 cm and 3.5 cm compared with approximately 1.5 cm for benign adenomas.[1] In approximately 50% of the patients, the malignant tumor is surrounded by a dense, fibrous, grayish-white capsule that infiltrates adjacent tissues.[5] Histopathologically, as with other endocrine neoplasms, the distinction between benign and malignant parathyroid tumors is difficult to make.[1,5,18] The extent to which capsular and vascular invasion appears to be unequivocally correlated with tumor recurrences and metastases makes a strong case for these findings to be considered the sole pathognomonic markers of malignancy.[18,19]
Parathyroid cancers are hyperfunctional unlike other endocrine tumors that become less hormonally active when malignant.[1] The clinical features of parathyroid carcinoma are caused primarily by the effects of excessive secretion of parathormone (PTH) by the tumor rather than by the infiltration of vital organs by tumor cells. Serum PTH levels may be 3 to 10 times above the upper limit of normal for the assay employed; this marked elevation is uncommon in primary HPT where serum PTH concentrations are typically less than twice that of normal.[5] Accordingly, signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia typically dominate the clinical picture and may include typical hyperparathyroid bone disease and features of renal involvement, such as nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis.[1] (Refer to the PDQ summary on Hypercalcemia for more information.) Renal colic is a frequent presenting complaint of patients with parathyroid carcinoma.[5] In a study involving 43 cases, the prevalence of nephrolithiasis and the prevalence of renal insufficiency were reported to be 56% and 84%, respectively.[20]
The prevalence of bone disease is much greater in patients with parathyroid carcinoma than it is in patients with parathyroid adenoma with 70% or fewer patients manifesting symptoms related to calcium absorption with osteoporosis and bone pain.[21,22] (Refer to the PDQ summary on Pain for more information.) In benign parathyroid disease, it is unusual to have both renal and bone symptomatology documented at the time of diagnosis.[23] These symptoms are present simultaneously at diagnosis in 50% or fewer patients with parathyroid cancer.[1] In contrast, simultaneous renal and overt skeletal involvement is distinctly unusual in primary HPT.[5]
Signs and symptoms of the hyperparathyroid state associated with parathyroid cancer that may be found at diagnosis include:[1,5]
(Refer to the PDQ summaries on Pain, Fatigue, Nutrition in Cancer Care [for weight loss information], and Nausea and Vomiting, for information on some of the above symptoms.)
Certain clinical features may help to distinguish parathyroid carcinoma from parathyroid adenoma.
Parathyroid carcinoma should be suspected clinically if:[1,5,11,13]
The medical management of hypercalcemia, particularly in patients with unresectable disease or without measurable disease, is critical and must be the initial treatment goal in all patients with HPT. Conventional treatment with intravenous fluids, diuretics, and antiresorptive agents such as biphosphonates, gallium, or mithramycin may help control the hypercalcemia.[10] Calcimimetic agents that directly block secretion of the parathyroid hormone from the glands may offer an important new approach to medical therapy of primary HPT associated with parathyroid cancer.[24,25] (Refer to the PDQ summary on Hypercalcemia for more information.)
Surgery is the only effective therapy for parathyroid carcinoma.[1,5,18] Preoperative suspicion and intraoperative recognition of parathyroid carcinoma is critical to achieve a favorable outcome, which involves en bloc resection of the tumor with all potential areas of invasion at the initial operation.[10,12,26] One analysis of the literature indicated an overall 8% evidence of local recurrence after an en bloc resection compared with a 51% incidence after a standard parathyroidectomy.[27] En bloc excision during the initial procedure for parathyroid cancer may involve resection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve because the nerve is at risk for invasion by any residual tumor and subsequent loss of function. The increased potential for long-term local control achieved by en bloc excision outweighs the complication of postoperative vocal cord paralysis, which can be improved with techniques such as Teflon injection into the paralyzed cord. Cervical lymph node dissection should be performed only for enlarged or firm nodes, particularly those found in the level VI paratracheal nodes and levels III and IV internal jugular nodes.[1]
Because of the fairly indolent biology of this cancer, the management of recurrent or metastatic disease is primarily surgical; significant palliation may result from the resection of even very small tumor deposits in the neck, lymph nodes, lungs, or liver.[2,20,23,28,29] Accessible distant metastases should be resected when possible.[5] Localization studies performed before the first operation or reoperation may include technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scan, single photon emission computed tomography, CT-MIBI image fusion, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), selective angiogram, and selective venous sampling for PTH;[3] CT and magnetic resonance imaging are useful imaging adjuncts for the localization of distant metastases.[5,30]
Nonsurgical forms of therapy for parathyroid carcinoma generally have poor results.[1,5,9,18] Some investigators have advocated the use of adjuvant radiation therapy to decrease the local recurrence rate.[31,32] Patients with this disease should be monitored for life because they may be at a relatively high risk of multiple relapses over prolonged periods of time.[9] As stated previously, patients rarely die from the tumor itself; rather, they die from the metabolic complications of uncontrolled HPT.
The histologic distinction between benign and malignant parathyroid tumors is difficult to make.[1] Although cell type is not known to be of prognostic significance, histologic cell types include chief cell, transitional clear cell, and mixed cell types. Standard criteria of malignancy often cannot be confirmed in retrospective reviews of patients with carcinoma. Macroscopic and microscopic infiltrations often do not correlate, and adhesion to surrounding structures does not necessarily imply malignancy. Features such as dense fibrous trabeculae, trabecular growth patterns, mitoses, and capsular invasions, which have been classically associated with carcinomas, have also been found in parathyroid adenomas.[2,3,4] Capsular and vascular invasion appears to correlate best with tumor recurrence.[3,5] In a study of 286 patients, pathologists described well-differentiated carcinomas in approximately 80% of the patients.[6]
An aneuploid DNA pattern is more common, and mean nuclear DNA content is greater in carcinomas than in adenomas; when present in a carcinoma, aneuploidy appears to be associated with a poorer prognosis.[7,8,9] Aneuploidy occurs too frequently in parathyroid adenomas to be significant in differentiating benign from malignant parathyroid lesions.[9,10,11] In general, the clinical course and the gross pathology observed at surgery are as important as the histology to define a lesion as a parathyroid carcinoma.[12]
Because of the low incidence of parathyroid carcinoma, an American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system has not yet been formulated and thus is not applicable to this malignancy. In addition, neither tumor size nor lymph node status appear to be important prognostic markers for this malignancy.[1]
Patients are considered to have either localized or metastatic disease.[2,3]
Localized Parathyroid Cancer
Localized parathyroid cancer is disease that involves the parathyroid gland with or without invasion of adjacent tissues.
Metastatic Parathyroid Cancer
Metastatic parathyroid cancer is disease that spreads beyond the tissues adjacent to the involved parathyroid gland(s). Parathyroid carcinoma most frequently metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and lungs, and it may involve other distant sites, such as liver, bone, pleura, pericardium, and pancreas.[4]
The rarity of this tumor does not provide large published series of treatment experience or permit the systematic evaluation of combination therapies.[1,2] The relatively slow cell-doubling time for this tumor makes radical surgery a therapeutic option even for patients with metastatic disease. As stated previously, treatment and control of secondary hypercalcemia must be the initial treatment goal in all patients with hyperparathyroidism. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Hypercalcemia for more information.)
Treatment options:[1,2,3,4]
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with localized parathyroid cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Metastatic disease can appear shortly after the initial diagnosis and operation or for up to 20 years later.[1] Because of the difficulty in making a histologic diagnosis, the appearance of recurrent or metastatic disease in a patient previously operated on for hypercalcemia can be the first indicator that the tumor was malignant.[2] Approximately 50% of the patients who experience recurrence will have distant metastases.[3] The most common site of distant metastasis is the lung.[4,5] Some patients experience years of survival even after the diagnosis of distant metastases.[5] Aggressive surgical resection has been associated with a 30% long-term survival in retrospective series.[3,6] (Refer to the PDQ summary on Hypercalcemia for more information.)
Treatment options:[1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with metastatic parathyroid cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
Approximately 40% to 60% of patients experience a postsurgical recurrence, typically between 2 to 5 years after the initial resection.[1,2] Because it is difficult to establish a histologic diagnosis of parathyroid cancer at the time of initial surgery, the appearance of recurrent or metastatic tumor can be the first sign of malignancy.[3]
Because these tumors are slow-growing, repeated resection of local recurrences and/or distant metastases can result in significant palliation.[4,5,6,7,8] Pulmonary metastases as well as bone metastases should be resected, if possible, to decrease the magnitude of the hypercalcemia.[7,9] Occasionally, long-term salvage is achieved in this group of patients with aggressive surgical treatment.[10] The major morbidity of recurrent or metastatic parathyroid cancer results from severe hypercalcemia, which can be difficult to control. For patients not fit for surgery, treatment with bisphosphonates, plicamycin, calcitonin, and gallium pamidronate may control hypercalcemia.[11] Control of malignant hypercalcemia with these medical measures is often only temporary. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Hypercalcemia for more information.)
Treatment options:[4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent parathyroid cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

On June 23, 1944, the 97th Bombardment Group, 15th Air Force left on a mission to bomb vital enemy installations in Ploesti Raid, Romania.[1] While flying over enemy airspace, the plane was hit and forced out of formation before the mission could be completed. Lt. David R. Kingsley was the bombardier of the B17 aircraft, and while the pilot continued on course despite continued enemy fire, Lt. Kingsley managed to drop his bombs and hit the required targets.
While the pilot and Lt. Kingsley were focusing on the targets, tail-gunner Michael J. Sullivan received injuries in his head and shoulder from attacking ME-109 aircrafts. Lt. Kingsley, who also worked as the first aid technician, was notified of Sullivan's wounds and headed back to the radio room to help. In order to administer first-aid, Sgt. Sullivan's parachute and heavy clothes were removed and he was wrapped in blankets. Although Kingsley succeeded in dressing the wound and stopping the bleeding, eight ME-109s continued to attack the aircraft.[2] While the plane struggled to remain in the air, Lt. Kingsley moved to administer first aid to another injured crew-member, the ball turret gunner Stanley J. Kmiec.
As Kingsley worked on Sgt. Kmiec, Captain Anderson gave the order to bail out of the plane. Quickly, Kingsley assisted the two wounded in getting on their parachutes. In the confusion, the tail gunner's parachute pack had been damaged and could not be located amid the bundles of clothes, blankets, and bandages. Without hesitation, David Kingsley removed his parachute and strapped it safely to Michael Sullivan, the tail gunner. In Sullivan's own written account, Kingsley "gave his chute harness to the tail gunner." In the crew's accounts, Kingsley was last seen standing on the bomb bay catwalk. The plane shortly crashed over Bulgaria and his body was found in the wreckage.
The nine other members of the crew were arrested as Prisoners of War and later returned to the United States where they resumed their duties. 2nd Lt. David R. Kingsley received the Medal of Honor on April 9, 1945, "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty."[3] Because of David Kingsley's sacrifice Michael J. Sullivan survived to return to his family. David Kingsley became a statistic in the history books, statistics that show no faces. Although, to those who knew him, David R. Kingsley was a hero who willingly and without hesitation, gave his chute to a comrade knowing it meant giving up his own life.

The GOP leadership's tax bill is a giveaway to the Koch brothers and ExxonMobil and a disaster for the rest of us. It recklessly opens up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling, gives special tax breaks specifically to the oil and gas industries, kills key support for renewable energy, and even raises taxes on the survivors of climate disasters.
As the House considers the Senate bill, the 31 GOP members of the "Climate Solutions Caucus," with a stated commitment to "reducing climate risk," are key swing votes and could stop this bill. Seven members of the caucus voted against the House version - if 12 more join them, the #GOPTaxScam will be stopped. This tax bill doesn't "reduce climate risk," it increases it dramatically. It raises $4.5 trillion in taxes, especially on the working and middle class, in order to give $6 trillion in tax cuts, overwhelmingly to billionaires and multi-national corporations.
Just a few days ago, nine members of the Caucus sent a letter with three other Republicans to Senate leadership asking them to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Five of the Caucus signatories voted for the House version #GOPTaxScam—Reps. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL-26), Dave Reichert (R-WA-08), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-08), Ryan Costello (R-PA-06), and Patrick Meehan (R-PA-07).
Now they are thinking about voting for the Senate tax bill, which includes massive new tax breaks for oil and gas executives, opens up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling, and threatens renewable energy investment.
Instead of spending $6 trillion of taxpayer money to funding tax corporate tax breaks, Congress should be putting Americans to work stopping climate change and building the economy of the future.
Now is the time for the Climate Solutions Caucus to take action to protect our climate and our country—before it's too late.
Refs: Reichert Arctic Refuge letter; Climate Solutions Caucus membership; House tax scam vote
Tell the Climate Solutions Caucus:
Protect the Arctic. Protect renewable energy. Protect our climate. Vote NO on the #GOPTaxScam.

Dogs - FAQs
Can animals see colour?
Animals only see in black and white Myth It was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. However, scientists have proven this to be a myth. In all
Chewing - Why do dogs chew?
Chewing is a normal behaviour for puppies to investigate their environment. Dogs that chew may also be scavenging for food, playing, teething or satisfying a natural urge to chew and gnaw
Do dogs need clothes in winter?
With the growing popularity of canine fashion, we are often asked, does my dog need something warm to wear in winter?
Does a cold, wet nose mean your pet is healthy?
A cold, wet nose is just one sign of wellness in cats and dogs and should not be considered in isolation as an indication of overall health. On occasion you will find a healthy pet with a warm dry nose, and on the other hand a sick pet with a cold, wet nose.
Does cigarette smoke harm your pet?
Dogs with long noses are at an even greater risk of developing certain nasal and sinus cancers, as they expose more tissue to the carcinogens when they inhale. Cats exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased...
Grass - Why does your pet eat grass?
One of the more common theories is that dogs, in particular, use grass for medicinal purposes to help them vomit. Other claims include eradicating intestinal parasites, a result of a dietary deficiency or just because they enjoy the taste of it.
How do you keep your best friends around as long as possible?
The answer is early diagnosis and treatment which can be achieved by visiting your veterinarian for twice yearly check-ups. Dogs and cats age much faster than we do and as a result, health problems progress much more rapidly.
Is it ok to feed your cat or dog milk products?
Similar to humans, dogs and cats can suffer from lactose intolerance and unfortunately for our companions it is a very common problem. Lactose intolerance is essentially the absence of the beta lactamase enzyme which assists in the breakdown of sugar found in milk.
Lawn care - how do you stop your lawn from turning yellow?
Studies have shown that the nitrogen content and concentration in your dog's urine causes the yellowing or burning that results in dead patches in your lawn. Female dogs are the major culprits, as they tend to urinate in the same place in large volume puddles.

Should you be concerned if your pet eats a rat or mouse?
Whilst catching a mouse or a rat may be a natural activity for cats and in some cases dogs, eating rodents can have undesirable consequences. These can include contracting intestinal worms, the disease toxoplasmosis and secondary rat bait poisoning.

It's New Year's Eve 2010, Groove-ophiles! It's become a bit of a tradition here in Groove City to say goodbye to the old year by checking out classic final issues from the Groovy Age, and this year is gonna carry on that tradition. This year, we're looking at the finales of two of Young Groove's fave mags--DC's The Shadow and Charlton's E-Man.
The Shadow was a masterpiece, and I could never figure out why it didn't last longer than 12 issues. The writing (mainly) by the great Denny O'Neil, who could write the kind of hard-boiled, atmospheric whodunits you'd expect for a pulp crime-smasher, was top-notch. The art was provided by three highly distinctive and wildly talented artists: Mike Kaluta, Frank Robbins, and E.R. Cruz, all masters of mood and period-pieces. I can't think of a single issue that I didn't dig, but there weren't enough like-minded fans to suit the powers-that-were at DC, t'would seem. The Shadow went out with an appropriate "bang" though, with this O'Neal/Cruz classic from May 1975..."Night of the Damned!"
E-Man was a major cult fave and definitely on Ol' Groove's short-list of best mags of the Groovy Age, but, alas, it wasn't a great seller. Nick Cuti and Joe Staton's masterpiece lasted only 10 issues in the 70s, but made a major comeback in the 80s and then jumped in and out of print during the 90s and early 2000s. Low seller it might have been, each ish of E-Man was a true gem, right down to the final issue's (June 1975) Al Capp tribute (or is it parody?), "The Witch of Hog Wallow". Dig it!
Here's wishing all of Groove-dom the happiest of New Years! Ol' Groove hopes 2011 will be your best year ever! See ya tomorrow as we kick off a brand new year! Huzzah!

Liberty News
Oprah Winfrey takes notice of students' humanitarian efforts
Four Liberty students had a chance to be on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday, May 1, as part of a segment to foster awareness of the thousands of children being trained and used as soldiers in the civil war in Uganda.
Kailey Spivey, Chris Neill, Randy Carroll and Olivia Reyes travelled to Chicago as part of "The Rescue," a 100-city global rally organized by Invisible Children, an international group that advocates on behalf of the 3,000 Ugandan children who have been kidnapped and turned into child soldiers. The rallies were meant to increase awareness of the atrocities occurring in northern Uganda and the surrounding countries by garnering the attention of the media and a local public figure. At each city, participants symbolically "abducted" themselves to represent the child soldiers, and then camped out in a public place, waiting to be "rescued" by media and a public figure.
The Liberty students demonstrated with hundreds of other "rescue riders" on Thursday outside Oprah's Harpo Studios in Chicago, the last city to be "rescued." They camped out there that night, and on Friday morning lined the curb, holding peace signs in hopes of influencing Winfrey to join their cause.
"We wanted to be a voice to the voiceless. We wanted to see one of the most influential women of our day lend that influence to this cause," Spivey said.
After a two-hour stand, Oprah arrived, and about 30 minutes later, "She came outside, right behind Randy and me. A simple 'Hey guys' announced her sudden approach. She took the three guys who started the organization inside, and when they came out, they told us between jumps and screams and a bold 'God is so good,' that we were getting an interview at the beginning of her show," Spivey said.
The leaders were interviewed outside by remote, in front of the crowd.
Spivey said she and the other LU students were not recognizable on television, but she was proud to witness that moment.
Spivey was one of the students who formed a new campus group this semester to support Invisible Children. She spoke in convocation, urging Liberty students to attend a rally on April 25 in Washington, D.C. About 300 Liberty students attended.
Owen Davenport, one of the LU group's organizers, said the student-led effort at the nation's capital was successful.
"Liberty made quite an impression at the event, as the students made up just about 12 percent of the group. All the students wore red wristbands to represent themselves as Liberty students. Many people asked about the wristbands and were impressed and encouraged by the number of people who had driven all the way from Lynchburg."
The D.C. group was "rescued" by Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump of the popular rock band Fall Out Boy and Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe.
Spivey, who hopes to do mission work in Uganda someday, said her time on the road with the "rescue riders" has made a big impact on her life.
"We literally saw God do miracles and were continually praying together, thanking God and pleading with Him to change Uganda through this event, and to allow us ministry among the non-Christians that we were sleeping next to. God did allow us many conversations of a spiritual nature and kept us fed and safe like He promises."

|Jcrew sale on my comp...
As I sit here in our New England home, 1,500 miles away from 'real' home (or where we had always known home to be), I might not feel completely at home, but I am definitely at peace being surrounded by all of my loves.
|emma's mini crib right by my stool... literally what i see from where i sit just inches away
|the mr. in one of his many spots...
I hope to look back on our time in Massachusetts as a shared adventure between Mike and I - the two of us out on our own. We were itching for a change and jumped at it the minute the opportunity became available to us. I hope we're always able to do that - wherever we are in life.
|i was sitting on the floor in emma's room and mike was rocking/walking her to sleep in our room
I'm not talking just about constantly relocating to a new place, but in all types of opportunities. I hope we're always able to be open to and embrace change... even with the potential slight discomfort it might cause.
While I'll never regret our decision to move here - it already has brought me clarity in so many ways - sometimes I think about how it would be different if we welcomed Emma into our Fairway home - would our experience with her be somehow different? Easier because we had the convenience (and help) from our families? Maybe. Easier because of the contentment and comfort we felt in our old home and our own life? Perhaps.

Before pot shops open, Douglas County approves ban
CASTLE ROCK – Before any marijuana stores open, Douglas County approved a ban on commercial operations for the drug that's now legal for recreational use in Colorado.
State officials are still trying to figure out how to regulate the new industry, and shops are not expected to open until at least January 2014. But Douglas County's ban takes effect Thursday.
The Denver Post reports (http://goo.gl/PPa2c) that the county is the first in the state to approve a ban on pot stores and grow operations. Weld County could follow suit next month, the newspaper reported. But other municipalities may wait to see how the state decides to regulate the drug before deciding to ban marijuana business operations, which they have authority to do under the new law.
Colorado's marijuana measure, which allows adults 21 or older to possess up to an ounce of pot, was approved with 55 percent of the vote last month, and it's now part of the state constitution. In Douglas County, however, voters rejected the constitutional amendment with 54 percent of the vote, and they have voted against three other marijuana measures in the last 12 years.
"These four votes made it easier for the county commissioners to act in the public interest," said county spokeswoman Wendy Holmes.
Douglas County's ban would impact only pot stores and commercial growing operations, not personal use of the drug, which would still be allowed. People would also still be allowed to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal use, like the law states.
Holmes said county commissioners considered the revenue potential of having pot stores, but decided a ban was better.
"That's a revenue source that we're not interested in having here," she said.
The Colorado Department of Revenue is expected to have rules set for the industry by July 1. An attorney for Colorado Municipal League said many other cities and counties are likely to wait until then to decide whether to enact bans similar to Douglas County.
"We're sort of waiting for July 1 to see where we are," said attorney Rachel Allen.
A 24-member task force appointed by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper started work last week on figuring out how to regulate the drug. They have five more meetings before they make recommendations to the governor.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Population Vs Global Warming – and charts
November 10, 2010 by Rajandran
Few charts that could actually show you the current state of Global warming
World Population Explosion
Dont know what made this chart exploded since 1900. Charts are so exponential and one of the major cause of Global Warming.
Population Growth and Deforestation Rates by Continent Chart
This very important chart shows the relationship between Population Growth and the Deforestation. Conclusion: the faster the population grows, the faster the forests disappear.
Correlation between Population Growth and Emissions Growth Chart
As Al Gore said, "Yes, they fit." This chart shows how Total Annual Carbon Emissions are directly affected by Population Growth.
Al Gore's documentary is one of the most deceitful pieces of trash ever created. Rather than provide a thorough critique, it is sufficient to show this:
The x-axis there is supposed to be time. How does the data go backwards in time? That doesn't make any sense!

"allowing [China] to continue to emasculate all of the Western countries"
As another example related to the fears of over-population, they tell us over and over that fresh water will become scarce and may even disappear entirely. Yet didn't we all learn that matter cannot be created or destroyed? The amount of water will always stay the same, though sometimes it may also spend time as steam or ice or urine, etc. Humans are merely another conduit for water to pass through. But it will not vanish.
Ataraxia » December 1st, 2016, 2:47 am wrote:I've also believed for a while that world populations are invented out of thin air. Who can ever know the truth? To me, it comes down to two main principles in play. Firstly, that if you invent a person born into a life of poverty in some poor country, you can then receive more charity from industrialized countries for that person. So why would you ever not lie? Fake people also allows for a larger, fake economy, upon which you can then invest and acquire fake money. It's all smoke and mirrors. Secondly, the bigger you state your population is, the more of a 'main player' you can assume on the world stage. Those very same countries that you cite like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, NIgeria are all perfect examples of this, notably also with them starting up space programs or acquring the power to make nuclear bombs/reactors. All these lies go hand in hand.
As one example, if you look at Bangladesh on a map, there really is only one massive city and even that's an illusion because it's not a modern city with densely packed condos and modern infrastructure. Instead, it's a place with sprawling, two-level houses and such. It seems so illogical that the population can be as high as they state.
I'm amazed though you never questioned China's population. Something I read here once was that they remind us that everything we heard about from Soviet Russia was a lie, but we're supposed to believe in the boasts from Communist China. I think we must assume everything that comes out of China is a lie. But by China lying about their population, it makes us inherently afraid, allowing them to continue to emasculate all of the Western countries and we willingly cede our souls and our will to action.
On the point of world overpopulation, I'd say that there never can be a population that threatens the balance of the earth itself, since as trite as it sounds, we are built upon the nutrients and resources of the world and if there are no spare nutrients to give to a pregnant woman to allow her to give birth, then she won't be able to give birth. Plus as you've stated in other threads, there is more food than ever before. Every year, crop yields increase. There's so much food they're actively working to find ways to use it for anything but feeding people. It's clear the earth is not suffering from population. If there was a time when population threatened to unbalance the earth, the earth would regulate itself by naturally lowering fertility rates in men and women, and we wouldn't even notice especially since most of this would be occurring in the poorer countries.
As another example related to the fears of over-population, they tell us over and over that fresh water will become scarce and may even disappear entirely. Yet didn't we all learn that matter cannot be created or destroyed? The amount of water will always stay the same, though sometimes it may also spend time as steam or ice or urine, etc. Humans are merely another conduit for water to pass through.

I think what they really mean to do to us with such language is put us in a prison.
For example, Western places will note the lack of hygiene in an area. Instead of fixing it or simply educating people about how to fix it, putting the smallest amount of time into research, Coca Cola can come in, sit on a place and sell their improved water with their expensive industrial machinery. We don't know what they even do, since it's a trade secret. They could do everything from reverse osmosis to simply boiling it, depending on a chemical test.
I am not saying everyone needs to go around doing everything for free, but it's obvious human beings value things differently from companies. And receiving love and human kindness are valuable 'payments' for people that don't involve money. But what can a corporation or government do with kindness? They will simply see this, as psychopaths do, as an invitation to take advantage. So companies needlessly take even more advantage over the already disadvantaged and they don't value things like friendship of the local populace as payment, whereas you or I would certainly enjoy the benefits of friendship, and if we were in a position to help, we probably would do so free of charge, because why the fuck wouldn't you help a diseased and starving population if you had the power to do so?

NBA analyst and Hall-of-Famer Charles Barkley joined The Press Box Monday morning to offer his take on the NBA Finals. And, naturally, he refused to hold back — from joking with Brandon Krisztal he's his "only Jewish friend who's a nobody," claiming the Spurs are "one bad acting audition away" from losing, explaining why LeBron James can't be beat in four games, and saying he wouldn't give someone he hated Kawahi Leonard's job this past week.
Before the Finals began, Barkley had said that he didn't believe the Spurs would be able to beat the Heat in four games, and based on James' 35-point, 10-rebound performance in Miami's Game 2 victory on Sunday, his theory holds true.
"I was listening to the game and watching it, and you thought the Spurs were up 15 points and they were only up eight," Barkley said on The Press Box. "And then when it was tied at halftime, I said 'Oh the Spurs are in trouble.' That was the first — you know there's always turning points in games — that was the first turning point. And then the biggest play was, when the Spurs were up two and they missed four straight free throws and LeBron came down and hit the three, I said, 'Oh that's it. That's game, set and match.'
"I just don't think you can beat LeBron James. He's like Michael Jordan to me. I'm not comparing the two, but he's just better than everybody else."

Throughout your college career, you probably have procrastinated from one time to another. You then ended up spending a long, sleepless night trying to finish your work. Regardless of whether or not you got it done, the work probably wasn't very good, and you likely ended up miserable. We're here to offer you a few tips to help you get your work on time and to make sure that you don't end up in the same situation again. While this guide won't provide specifics, they should help you in your academic pursuits.
The first, and most important, step to success is to use a planner to organize your work. When you are given an assignment, mark down the due date and how long you think it will take you to complete it. Don't just write down "two days" or unspecific period of time; try to allot a specific number of hours. If you think an assignment will take you five hours, you now know a more specific way to portion your time. You can give yourself two hours one day, two hours on the next, and a final hour to wrap it up. Planning by the hour will work a lot better than planning around a certain number of days, which will only lead you to procrastinate.
Our second tip is to seek the necessary help that you require. Many professors will offer specific office hours when you can go and seek their help. In addition, there are likely other resources, or even other students, that you can use for help. Make sure to provide yourself with enough time and to seek out al the help that you need, and you shouldn't run into trouble.

I like very much to wrap Mathematica images by
Panel, which gives many of them a much better view. To be precise, if image is some illustration, plot etc. I would like to put it in Mathematica document as
Panel@image Then I typically mark the output as Figure in the JournalArticle StyleSheet.
However, most of my documents should be later transformed into PDF for further use. This is unavoidable, since in my company nobody else uses Mathematica.
In the PDF document version the panel loses most of its attractiveness. The gray color becomes almost white, and the fine rim details (which made the panel looking in Mathematica like a 3D-relief) disappear. In this form Panel makes the view worse, rather than improve it. To be more precise, here is an image wrapped by a panel: please execute the following in Mathematica notebook:
As you see the panel looks a 3D relief. It does not exist any more in the PDF version of the file that you can see below.
Besides, the panel color is much worse now.
Have you any idea of what could be done to improve the
Panel view after the document is transformed into PDF?

Faced with "slut-shaming," Katelyn Campbell responded with nut-shaming.
Campbell, a 17-year-old student at George Washington High School in Charleston, West Va., has asked a court to place an injunction against her school's principal after he allegedly threatened to tell the college into which she's been accepted that she has "bad character" because she spoke out against an abstinence-only assembly. This was an assembly where girls were reportedly told their parents probably hated them if they gave them birth control.
The story, as reported by The Charleston Gazette, gets worse.
Campbell's legal action alleges that Principal George Aulenbacher threatened her after she told local media about what had happened at the school, an event Campbell called "slut-shaming." Aulenbacher allegedly threatened to call Wellesley College, into which Campbell has been accepted.

St. Hilarion the Great, as he is sometimes called, was born in Palestine. After his conversion to Christianity he spent some time with St. Anthony of Egypt, another holy man drawn to solitude. Hilarion lived a life of hardship and simplicity in the desert, where he also experienced spiritual dryness that included temptations to despair. At the same time, miracles were attributed to him.
As his fame grew, a small group of disciples wanted to follow Hilarion. He began a series of journeys to find a place where he could live away from the world. He finally settled on Cyprus, where he died in 371 at about age 80.
Hilarion is celebrated as the founder of monasticism in Palestine. Much of his fame flows from the biography of him written by St. Jerome.

Vitrectomy is the surgical removal of the
vitreous gel from the middle of the
eye. It may be done when there is a
retinal detachment, because removing the vitreous gel
gives your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) better access to the
back of the eye. The vitreous gel may also be removed if blood in the vitreous
gel (vitreous hemorrhage) does not clear on its own.
During a
vitrectomy, the surgeon inserts small instruments into the eye, cuts the
vitreous gel, and suctions it out. After removing the vitreous gel, the surgeon
may treat the
retina with a laser (photocoagulation), cut or remove
fibrous or scar tissue from the retina, flatten areas where the retina has
become detached, or repair tears or holes in the retina or
At the end of the surgery,
silicone oil or a gas is injected into the eye to replace the
vitreous gel and restore normal pressure in the eye.
Vitrectomy is
always done by an eye doctor who has special training in treating problems of
the retina.
Vitrectomy may require an overnight
hospital stay. But it may sometimes be done as
outpatient surgery. The surgery lasts 2 to 3 hours.
Your eye doctor will determine if the surgery can be done with
local or general anesthesia.
You may need to position yourself in a certain way at home for a while. Your doctor will tell you what position to lie in so that the gas or oil can push against the detachment.
Contact your doctor right away if you notice any signs of
complications after surgery, such as:
Vitrectomy may be done to:
Vitrectomy has been shown to greatly
visual acuity in many people who have severe vitreous
hemorrhage that has not cleared on its own. A vitrectomy can decrease the risk
of severe bleeding in people who have begun to have bleeding into the vitreous
gel. It can also reduce the risk of severe bleeding in people with growth of
abnormal blood vessels in the
In general, surgery can restore
some vision that is lost as a result of traction retinal detachment and may help
prevent further detachment. But the results tend to be better when the
detachment has not affected the center of the retina (macula) and the
central vision it provides.
Vitrectomy may cause elevated pressure inside the
eye (intraocular pressure, or IOP), especially in people who have
There are several other
serious, vision-threatening risks linked to vitrectomy. These
One of the main uses of vitrectomy
is to remove blood from the middle of the eye, a condition called vitreous
hemorrhage. When vitreous hemorrhage occurs, some doctors may recommend waiting
several months to a year to see whether the vitreous gel will clear on its own
before they do a surgery that can have serious complications.
But if the hemorrhage is causing severe vision loss or is preventing
treatment of severe retinopathy, surgery may be done sooner rather than
later. Some studies have shown that long-term results are better with early
There are a few ways to repair a retinal
detachment. The chance that each surgery type can help restore good vision
varies from case to case. The cause, location, and type of detachment usually
determine which surgery will work best. Other conditions or eye problems may
also play a role in the decision.
You may
need more than one surgery to reattach the retina if scar tissue from the first surgery grows over the surface of your retina.

12 Steps to Beating the Kenyans and Ethiopians
By Frank Horwill
- Get rid of the television. The news is invariably depressing. Instead of watching others amuse us, we should entertain ourselves with mental and physical activity. If you must watch it, tune in to ITV, the commercial breaks give you an opportunity to leap up and do some press-ups or bent-knee abdominals. Only 1 in 50 Kenyans have television.
- Sell your car and become a rich pedestrian. Buy a bicycle. 5 miles of cycling is equal to 1 mile of running. 1 in 3 Kenyans own a bicycle.
- Cook your own food. Fast-food shops have not caught on in Kenya. They don't like fried food. They boil and roast. Obesity in Kenya affects only 1 in 200. In Britain, the ratio is 25 overweight people per 100.
- Abolish or drastically reduce unemployment benefit and welfare hand-outs. In Kenya you work or starve or run to earn a living. If you become a mother, you must provide for the offspring. There is no unemployment or welfare benefit in Kenya. They have learned that man's destiny on earth is work.
- Don't buy children computer games. In 100 years' time our heads will be twice the size. Our bodies will be the same size as our heads.
- Schools should alter their modus operandi to 4 hours of study in the morning and 2 hours sport in the afternoon, every day of the week.
- Don't watch over-paid sportsmen perform. Instead, perform yourself.
- Burn down shops that sell tobacco and liquor to under-age juveniles.
- Get away from too technical jargon in running training. In Kenya, they think microcycles, macrocycles and mesocycles are different types of Japanese motorbike.
- Train at altitude for a month at a time, 3 times a year.
- Make 1/3 of your total running much faster than the other 2/3.
- Be carried off the running track once a week on a stretcher, due to exhaustion.

The results from the motion in limmes are in. As previously reported there are wins and losses on both sides:
The TL;DR Version (remembering I'm not a lawyer; however much I might like to be one):
1. As per part of the Bethesda Motion; at trial Interplay will be required to prove that in April 2009 they met the requirements of the MMO license agreement as agreed in 2007. Specifically this requires that they had access to $US 30 Million in financing and started full scale development. A motion to prevent them making such arguments was denied.
2. Interplay will not be allowed argue "mistake". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistake_(contract_law)
3. Despite the limited availability preventing Interplay from deposing Thomas Bidaux; he will be allowed to testify but will not be allowed to give evidence beyond MMOs in general and other background information(this prohibition is based on a report he wrote that Bethesda have used to argue him in not actually talking about this situation or Interplay).
The Transcript of the ruling is available at Duck and Cover.
The Main event now kicks off on December 12 9:30AM. Interplay apparently think this will take just over 2 days. Edit : Bethesda's arguments in a nutshell from their latest filing. Agent c 11:31, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Atlantic Coast Conference has filed a lawsuit against Maryland seeking full payment of the approximately $53 million exit fee for the school's move to the Big Ten.
According to the 10-page lawsuit, the ACC said the school must pay $52,266,342, which is three times the league's annual operating budget for the 2012-13 season.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the lawsuit filed Monday in Guilford County Superior Court, home to the league headquarters in Greensboro.
The lawsuit also states that Maryland President Wallace D. Loh has "refused to provide assurance" that the school will pay the exit fee and "has made it clear that defendant Maryland does not intend to pay the amount."
In a statement, Commissioner John Swofford says the ACC's council of presidents unanimously decided "to file legal action to ensure enforcement of this obligation."
"We continue to extend our best wishes to the University of Maryland; however, there is the expectation that Maryland will fulfill its exit fee obligation," Swofford said.
Brian Ullmann, Maryland's assistant vice president for marketing and communications, declined to comment in an email Tuesday afternoon.
The league argued that all ACC schools have "agreed to be bound" by votes taken by the league's council of presidents, which approved the increase.
The league raised its exit fee to roughly $50 million in September after adding Notre Dame in all sports except football, though it's still unclear exactly when the Fighting Irish will begin play in the ACC. The exit fee is three times the league's annual operating budget so it could fluctuate from year to year.
Maryland was one of two schools that voted against the increased exit fee. Florida State also voted against the increase.
The ACC twice increased its exit fee in the span of a year. The fee was around $12 million to $14 million before the league announced in September 2011 it would add Pittsburgh and Syracuse from the Big East, which led the league to up the fee to $20 million.
But Loh told The Washington Post he voted against the increase connected to the Notre Dame move because he thought the higher fee was "illegal and philosophically not a good idea." He also called it an "exit penalty."
Two months later, Maryland notified the ACC it planned to leave. The school is scheduled to begin Big Ten play in 2014.

JESUS ORDAINED NO ORGANIZATION-INSTITUTION EXCEPT HIS CHURCH, ESTABLISHING ITS PURPOSE, GOVERNMENT and AUTHORITY!
And any Christian Day School, Christian Bible School, Seminary (training Ministers), that is NOT CHURCH is NOT SCRIPTURAL.
FACT! Jesus - as leader of His Church here on Earth - TRAINED MINISTERS as part of HIS CHURCH . . . Jesus did NOT ordain a "separate" institution, or set up a "different" way, with "other" goals, and it's "own" authority, to train-educate Ministers!
FACT! If a Bible School or Seminary is NOT a Church, it is NOT Scriptural School, and has NO RIGHT to train-educate Ministers, Christian School Teachers!
FACT! If a Church is NOT Teaching Doctrine, Training and Ordaining Ministers, it is NOT a Scriptural Church - NOT a True Church - regardless what the IRS declares according to 501-C-3!
(PS. Church is also NOT a Singing-and-Entertainment Center!);
FACT! "Doctor" has NOTHING to do with medicine (except in modern American slang and pop" culture;
FACT: "Doctor" in the Greek is "Master Teacher" and was used by Jesus many times!
FACT! Old Testament Scholars were "Doctor's of the Law" over 3,000 years BEFORE modern Schools "copied" the word "Doctor" from the Bible!
FACT! Likewise the word "Degree!"
FACT: Thus "Doctor" and "Degree" are both Scriptural Concepts and words of Doctrine preceding the MODERN STATE UNIVERSITIES by millennia!
FACT: That Harvard and Yale, Cambridge an Oxford CHOOSE to copy these terms from the Holy Scriptures, DOES NOTE preclude Christ's Church from retaining - and using - what has ALWAYS been ours!

On SpanglishBaby I talked about a non-profit organization called Story Corps which records people's true stories to create a sort of archive of American history for future generations. Some of these stories have been animated, and I shared a really hilarious yet heartwarming video from the Story Corps collection called Facundo the Great – (go check it out on SpanglishBaby!)
While I clicked around on the Story Corps website, I found several other animated stories I loved just as much as Facundo the Great. Here are two more, and if you love them mucho, check out Story Corps for más.

In Aurora, city council to begin interviews of six candidates for vacant at-large seat
UPDATE: Dave Willams had to reschedule his interview for later in the week.
Six finalists vying to fill a recently vacated at-large seat on the Aurora City Council will begin formal interviews Monday evening.
In what's coined a study session — where councilors gather to "study" issues — Leondray Gholston, Alfonso Nunez, Brad Pierce, Debbie Stafford, Deborah Wallace and Dave Williams (rescheduled his interview) are set to field an array of questions from the mayor and current councilors, which will span from their familiarity with current city issues to prior work experience.
Pierce, Wallace and Williams served on the council in the past. Stafford is a former state legislator, Gholston in 2011 waged a failed bid to become chairman of the Colorado Republican Party and last fall Nunez lost a city council race.
Unlike Denver where there's two at-large members, Aurora has four at-large members and six ward councilors.
