NEW YORK MEXICO CITY NEW YORK MONTREAL VOL. IX NEW YORK, OCTOBER, 1926 No. 10 AM I D the din of pneumatic hammers and other apparatus being used in the construction of two nearby skyscrapers, the 1926 annual meeting of members and managers of the firm was held at the executive offices on September 16, 17, and 18. Despite this extraneous noise, it was agreed unanimously that the meeting was one of the most enjoyable and successful in our history. A l l of the firm members, now numbering twenty-eight, were present. Mr. Kracke, who was unable to attend last year's meeting because of the pressure of engagements at the Berlin office, deferred his pending return to Germany in order to be present at this year's meeting. A l l of the thirty-two American practice offices were represented except Birmingham. Mr. Hammond found it impossible to leave that office because of an important engagement to which he was giving attention. Of the four foreign offices, London and Paris were not represented. Mr. Kracke represented the Berlin office, and Mr. B. A . Padon the Shanghai office. Mr. Padon, who has been associated with our practice in China since 1919, is making, with his family, his first visit to this country in three years. He will return to Shanghai after a vacation here, to resume the management of our office there. The program inaugurated successfully last year was used again this year with equally good results. The first day, Thursday, was given over to informal gathering and individual conferences and discussions. A buffet luncheon was served at noon in the library. In the afternoon a conference of partners was held in Mr. Ludlam's office. In the evening there were a number of private dinners, followed by a theater party, the attraction being "The Great Temptations." On Friday the golf tournament—which has come to be an annual classic—was held at the Garden City Country Club. After a day of severe competition, M r . Jumonville emerged victorious with a low net score of 72, thereby retaining the crown which he won last year. With a card of 83, Mr. Lawrence acquired the laurels for low gross, which Mr. Morris won two years ago and defended successfully last year. Mr. Kracke was awarded the consolation prize. We shall not mention the score. A dinner and dance, attended by the partners and managers and their wives, followed the golf tournament. It was unanimously conceded to be the most pleasant social event in the history of our annual meetings. Saturday, the third day of the meeting, was devoted to more serious matters. A Annual Meeting

Tommy Quinn is the featured organist at the Glasgow Organ Series Concert at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Fayette Opera House.
Quinn grew up in the small town of Hackelburg, Ala., where he was constantly surrounded by music. His brother Tony helped him get started playing the piano by showing him a scale and some chords. His love for music grew and he received a performing arts scholarship to a local community college in 2009, and now he sings in the chorus and is a chorale accompanist at the college.
His love for reed organs began by listening to the sound of one at a local antique store, and that was the beginning of his fascination with reed instruments. He has since acquired and restored some reed instruments.

... filibuster with eighteen century from French to post it ... first apply to pillaging pirates ... now a prolonged speech that brings the ordinary workings of the Legislative Assembly to a standstill ... see for example the junior Senator from Kentucky ... to one day this past spring grows in the Senate chamber to protest administration policy ... and kept talking for thirteen hours ... with us today Senator Rand Paul ... on common knowledge ... now ... the the the the ... welcome to uncommon knowledge on Peter Robinson ... born in nineteen sixty three Randall Howard Paul attended Baylor and received his medical degree from Duke ... although raised in Texas after medical school Dr Paul moved to Kentucky ... where his wife grew up ... to begin practicing ophthalmology ... and become active in politics founding Kentucky taxpayers United ... in twenty ten Dr Paul was elected to the United States Senate ... the son of former Congressman Ron Paul who ran for president wants is a libertarian in place as a Republican ... Senator Paul has in two years in the Senate become ... a national figure ... as a recent issue the economists put it Senator Paul quote ... is definitely not his dad ... Rand Paul is trying to build a coalition ... that can win ... Senator Paul ... welcomed ... the ... governing philosophy ... the coaches Senator Rand Paul called the government isn't inherently stupid ... it just doesn't have the same singles ... explain ... will he now uses say they're not inherently stupid but it's a debatable question ... and the reason it is is that there's a difference between what drives the marketplace someone tries the excellence of the marketplace ... ANA's is that they're sort of two reasons for minimal government once a Liberty argument ... that the more you give up but your wealth in your earnings the less liberty you happen to one minimize government size ... he also won one minimize government size because inefficiency as Friedman said ... nobody spends someone else's money as wisely as they stand around ... and I think this with that gets at the heart of this farce inherent stupidity ... is is that they're just not getting the signal that a private business person gets its course trying to maximize profit ... and I'm actually in favor of trying to put some of that back in the government to try to make government more efficient ... how would actually pay government officials ... on how much savings they find in their apartment ... so you ... you suggest bonuses based on savings instead of an ever increasing sellers based on the size of your depart ... exactly and the incentive is now when there's money left in your department into a government-owned Carmen is suspending all seated next year ... you're the third of five children Brian of Congressman and Mrs Ron Paul ... did you come to your political philosophy was this ... dinner table conversation all household when you're a kid but my cases by the Aryan of nature versus nurture and down and had to stand down ... I think we're all born within instinct unit to ... in fatalism in and do ... we grow up in a family meeting about them as a teenager I wanted Akbar calculating how old I would be in the year two thousand Allied be completely independent note my own decisions ... stay on as late as I want eat what I want go where I want our land money ... so that we all have a little bit of that inside of this ... may be some to one degree or more ... then there's also the nurture our human the sense that you know I've read most of the free market economists I am not ... you know a student of history and to what I see is that to ... really might see a government that truly is limited you know and and their freedom is much more expensive okay so let's spend a moment ... considering ... what's gone wrong William Baldwin wrote a book never enough ... on the expansion of welfare state ... and he made his very ... striking point ... from nineteen forty two two thousandseven ... welfare spending grew ... at an average annual rate of just over four percent and this is while ... income is growing at about two point four percent ... the point is ... that for ... almost seven decades year and year out under presidents of both parties under Congress' of both parties ... the federal welfare Leviathan has continued to grow and grow and grow ... Ronald Reagan held back the growth in spending than even he wasn't able to cut it ... why what's the political dynamic Clinton welfare reform affected maybe for programs out of seventy or eighty program so wasn't completed now ... I put it more personal terms I think this is something that can appeal the people crossed the coast of parties and independents as well is that ... if you look like me and hopped out of your top he ought to be working ... and I think most people believe that we're now registering the more people as disabled only are employing people and that's a real problems ... to graduate from Republicans and Democrats have been complicit in this ... is growing growing growing in people worried that ... such a great deal of dependency you will ultimately drag us down as the country ... and that's with the burden tech comes and I think the really is a burden ... our message is a more difficult one we need to explain to those who were working class and trying to get ahead ... that is ... hurting and the government at all the stuff that governments offering new ... really as unintended consequences of dragging the economy down ... dragging job creation down ... our ... in March to introduce a budget ... that would eliminate the federal deficit in five years ... he voted against ... the budget the House and over the Paul Ryan put together ... because although ... even as you are voting against Paul Ryan's budget the press was attacking it has to ... be too dramatic for the amazing and right and that would reduce the federal deficit over ten years and Rand Paul said not fast enough ... so I think were dragging a lot of the party in the right direction ... Ryan's first budget was announced in twenty eight years now he's come up to ten years ... you know there were lucrative unrealistic things are really unheard of Obamacare spending plenty left in the Obamacare taxes ... so we really think that we need to change enough for much more dramatic change than some of the graduates in our party ... I think that it does have a flat income tax seventeen percent personal seventeen percent corporate ... very few deductions ... you have a lot less threatening this would not be revenue neutral ... I think and steam explosion in the economy to laugh all of that money into the Hockey ... Center is the first instance of question comes up ... again and again and again listening to reading your speeches ... what makes him think he's different and here's the version ... in the instance right now ... Republicans have been pushing for a flat tax since at least nineteen ninety six when Steve Forbes ran for president he didn't win and if you are one we well ... I know all the way so that's the point what makes you think you're different what makes you see ... put crudely because this is a question that in the air about you is Rand Paul just trying to make a point ... and it's also be applied to make a point there's nothing wrong with that is a valid point ... or does he see a political opportunity can he actually get things done but settled thing anybody can sit here and sell I'm differ gonna be the one on the one that's that that's a little bit presumptuous however I would say that there is a route to victory for Republicans nationally ... without diluting our message being for something passionately ... I think it takes a twist a slightly different Europe or from out of California ... California it was a blue ish it's all blue state ... to bring it back read ... you have to tax people of different than the standard cookie cutter Republicans been ... so I am offering some things different in the libertarian twisted that I think has appealed to the ... ethnic minorities as well as the use as well as independents it's really a message ... the kids beyond are just are hard core Republican ... what's not antithetical to what hardcore Republicans stand for ... and it is enough of that too is ... that I think it has a chance to resonate in areas where we have not done very well ... up ... immigration ... that's the top ... the big the bill in the center right now ... the legislation is complicated and very briefly ... legislation now before the Senate voted out of committee first proposed by the so-called gang of eight including your fellow freshman Republican marker Rubio a Florida ... immigrants already in the country illegally would be required to register with the government pay a fine ... they would then become RPI is registered traditional immigrants ... the three part enforcement regime would be established ... e verify system ... system to track visa holders ... increased ... border security ... and then when all three parts of the force the regime are implemented ... and only after remaining RPI status for ten years would R P I's ... again registered provisional immigrants only then would they be permitted to apply for green cards ... and then the heparin in and green cards for period three years ... before applying ... for citizenship ... how's that sound to you ... um for immigration reform we've got a broken system ... we have ten eleven million people here who came in illegally or they came in illegally and now became undocumented ... two we have to fix the system ... if we do nothing in another ten or fifteen years we have another ten million to come in illegally ... so I am for documenting the undocumented letting them pay taxes if you wanna work in our country ... aam for finding a place for you ... that being said there are still some problems with the bill ... the bill does what most bills around here David delegates the authority to the administration to say ... ok you have to fix border security ... but if you don't someone has to write a report about you not fixing it ... and then if the report doesn't work they want commission that will issue another report ... that stuff doesn't work and that's what people are so distrustful of government as a conservative to support this ... I have to believe that when fix upset that fix the problem ... the big driver of illegal immigration is that we ... have a work visa program this not working ... and so right now three or four hundred thousand people coming to pick crops every year but only sixty five thousand of them use the work visa program ... so most of them are coming in illegally ... and for showing the bill actually limits and adds new caps tag thesis that's a mistake he doesn't and some of the skilled workers which is good ... but it puts caps on the AG pieces which is that cap is below with the market dictates ... you're still in an illegal immigration ... so we have them and that I get on and the pastime Avio to support the bill ... anonymous call trust but verify ... conservatives want to believe is going to happen so we ride in the bill all ... some of the same worst period until we use writing and the villains they do it ... but then we say each year Congress gets to vote ... and it's the borders not secure we don't think the administration is enforcing into its posted ... in the process stops ... to get ten million people there to go from undocumented undocumented workers ... it happens gradually over a fire secure fear and in each year we vote ... asked whether the borders becoming more secure ... I think that'll concert that will convince conservatives like myself ... there were serious people are still talking about the nineteen eighty six cents and is only the owner saying ... they promises border security and then it never came that's why conservatives are hesitant to vote for members Ripoll right ... so ... um um conservatives than it was the talk radio you read the conservative magazines ... and that's exactly right up on ... my own reading of the ... reaction against immigration bill ... is less that conservatives across the country feel any animus toward immigrants at all ... it's a ... deep feeling ... of betrayal by the federal government which since nineteen eighty six has failed to enforce the law and order right okay so ... you said that you're in favor of documenting undocumented workers of the year to work let's find a woodland do it legally Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration studies ... registered provisional immigrant status brings with it work authorization legitimate social security account driver's license travel documents ... since it transforms the illegal alien into a person lawfully admitted United States registered provisional immigrant status ... as ... an amnesty ... well I think if we get trapped into words in describing things just as either amnesty your pathway to citizenship these are catch words ... that mean different things to different people ... what I would say is ... that I've come to look at this may be slightly different than I once did the eleven million they're here ... almost half of them came here legally ... they got a piece in the game and the crops in eight dollars an hour ... but they're working hard to provide for their family in eight dollars an hour and it's all construction jobs fourteen dollars now ... and it's a free market it's open and it's their site ... we tell my can do it or visa ... program which is big government ... failed the immigrant and said you can go take a higher paying jobs ... unfortunate this bill does the same thing it's Lockshin in Dhaka call to war ... with the unions and got involved the union in the chamber negotiated caps on workers ... and ... you go to go from job the job ... she can go from ad worker to construction worker and his bill for lease five years ... the problem is ... if you're a normal person you've been year to three years to make an eight arson hour it's not an easy way to provide your family ... all the sudden fourteen are now our job opens up ... even under today's we still move to that we still had the sun document problem final question on immigration ... Jeb Bush has said the GOP to put dishes needs to get immigration behind ... you said that up it's impossible for the GOP to make any headway with Hispanics as long as the Republican party is viewed as hostile towards ... Reiner is that a shutdown that what was into the rest of the message ... okay ... but don't we know what will happen if this immigration reform is enacted ... during this ten year waiting period Democrats will again and again and again say shorten the waiting period ... again and again they'll say start giving these people federal benefits ... it will put immigration behind the Republican party ... maybe maybe in there is a problem that I can give Democrats a chance to just make these people such solid Democratic voters the century from now there there is a potential problem and I often believe that maybe the Democrats won voters not workers ... however I would say if we do nothing ... but say we do nothing we have eleven million people here ... they are having children who are becoming citizens and many are in your lawn of the kids are but ... if their kids believe in it may believe ... that the Republican party is the party of deportation ... we will never again in about so I think really it's not the specifics of immigration reform ... what I'd talk to Hispanic leaders in Kentucky and elsewhere they tell me ... who won be treated with dignity ... when you call us an illegal year implying that we stole something we rob somebody we heard somebody ... who really all we're trying to do is ... make a better way for our family ... so a lot of it is Republicans need to get away from harsh rhetoric ... they need to embrace immigrants is assets to our country my family were immigrants year's Tri were to have all this war ... and the rules were different in and maybe each year to come one point on we can have open borders either in the Milton Friedman said that as well you can have open borders ... and a welfare state ... but some of the arguments for saying ... these people are to come in in overwhelm welfare is ... those are also arguments for fixing welfare ... because those are arguments against any cap population expansion because any any new verse we have in the country will eventually ... a certain percentage of them will be on well for ... your fundamental position ... when the welfare state ... and welcome immigrants because with a shrunken welfare state he'll be here for the same reason immigrants of all was compare that to get a job ... and better their families brought ... a new thing will add to the bill as we all said the bill an amendment that says ... that each individual state house to check for citizenship before voting ... mental process ... they can just say all or uses intact ... that to happen a process for the to lose federal funding ... we also have in there that if you want to get welfare of the bill says you can get wealthy German ... yes ... arm and says that if someone comes in and apply for welfare you have to check to make sure they're they're here legally or citizen ... because the bills as or knocking the of welfare ... the problem is is that many states and cities to say ... oh we don't care what you put on the four ... winds it has to be from the form because a lot of money is federal money in the welfare programs are several mixed estate sometimes ... for voting and a sparse for welfare Stewart running the bill stricter ... Taiwan in the end of the au to vote for it ... as it is it needs to be strengthened because it's not an impasse in the house this way either ... we think as we sit here today early June what are the chances you'll be able to vote for ... it's a will come and talk to me the chances will improve greatly so far there had been a great deal of conversation when the city ... but ... some of it depends if if I get to know no headway towards the things that I won amendment menu to the Bill ... and I don't think I can support of ... getting to know and follow me just ... briefly go through a few other issues that people get a chance to know where you stand Obamacare ... this fall ... against ... they've done without ... so where does this and this fall ... this thing gets rolled out a way that finally affects the provisions here and there been taking effect this fall ... it'll affect the way millions of Americans ... purchase health insurance all crewmen of the New York Times is the big surprise will be how well it works ... badly how well this will not be the first time and disagree with all ... of us up what I would say is we fought many different times but I'm not giving up the fight we fought loss to rejoin Congress we fought again in the presidential ... campaign last week fought Supreme Court last merrily ... and I think was still wrong it's not named ... but it would have one more fight when the bills come due ... initially the federal government's can pay for because that's for a ... mean we've heard we have a printing press the present day doesn't cost anything ... but an old school and the bills are in and be ... directed back to state government ... what they'll find uses it when you offer people free credit card ... to go get health care ... that they love it plans to use an all time ... the dinner cost so much this non of money to them it's come back in and to tell you oh no you can't know unless you get ... someone's taxes screen huge event irrational when you go to the doctor ... and then they'll come to the position in St ... well we were paying you twenty dollars a visit ... that there's too many people coming to see you ... to have to pay you ten dollars a visit ... so they will have to reduce the expenditures what they pay hospitals with a pay doctors ... and they all set to limit access which is in other words rationing ... and state governments despite all of this ... will still face bankruptcy not just the states like your state like California Illinois they're in trouble ... states that are relatively sounded interface Proms that Medicaid is already a driving force course insolvency of State Lowell sightings me one more big fight on Obamacare ... is going to state legislative level ... and when ... this year as the euro ... as the bills come due in it I think the state the switching over to the status twenty fourteen ... so maybe twenty fourteen twenty fifteen but for sure but in time for the presidential but I think is guiding us to be a hot topic in twenty sixteen ... drugs the economist magazine Senator Paul has called for the scrapping of mandatory minimum sentences ... for non violent drug offenders but would not legalize drugs ... what I what I think is is that if your kids or you know one of his friends goes out of his column marijuana ... sticking them in prisons of big mistake so I don't really believe in free prison sentences for these minor non violent drug offenses ... I'm not willing to go all the latest thing it's a good idea either adding people use marijuana all that I lose IQ points I think the loser trying to show for work ... the state to make the decision I think ultimately knowing the line ... I am I am for letting states make that decision but I'm not in favor of ... the law to make sure people know that I'm not encouraging young kids to do this ... I also don't want see young kids who make mistakes ... be put in prison with foreign prisoners than I think ... I need you when you talk to evangelical Christians and conserve or social conservatives ... us then the question would rather see your your teenager in your church to counseling ... or incarceration almost every lancer Council ... going California loosens its loss ... and comes into conflict with federal laws you side with California not the Fed's yes ... our ... social issues or center and look what I am one hundred percent ... pro life ... I believe abortion is taking the life of an innocent human being close call ... center where I come from the Northern California when somebody says is a libertarian ... ninety eight percent of the time he sang as a libertarian about that ... pro choice keeping government out of the bed ... right and so this is an unusual position ... in Mike's case for libertarian to take our you square that one up what I would say is that there are the primary and fundamental role for government ... and the current fundamental role for government is to stop aggression won an initial against another and that oh so the question comes down to ... win the thing someone's an individual when you think life begins ... and then I think you get more to the heart of the matter is the real debate is when does life begin ... because you have that discussion it becomes ... difficult I think to be flippant about it for example ... you know I'm an ophthalmologist eggs and babies than Ian and ownership can fit on my hand one pound babies are a lot ... I look in their eyes to check against a disease that can cause blindness that can be treated now ... but let's say a week before they were in no instance I'm the mother but they just ... they don't exist or not a life at that point ... and soo increasingly later on in gestation people are somewhat horrified I mean people are horrified by this Dr Gosnell the snipping the spinal cords of them ... are horrified that people ... in Impressionists goal to get the baby out you know live baby injecting things into my pillow ... so I think ... many people towards the end like will cost yes not that much different than the nursing how can I be that this is ... just a woman's body in it that there isn't another individual there ... was a tough today and I think the Republican party when I say ... um no one the libertarian Republican ... it is also that love disagreements like this within the party and there will be people ... if we leave the decisions more local ... to their jurisdiction I think we can have ... more of a diversity of opinion within the party within the country overturn Roe versus Wade and send it back to the state's death in the states would be a better measure of this gay marriage Senator Rand Paul what I believe in the historical definition of marriage that being said ... I'm not for limiting contracts between adults close call ... sounds like name ... that suits you ... there's a reason sounds like yet and I think that it's the same issue in Alan I think some you'll get confused I stand with the founding fathers Thomas ... Jefferson Chrysler know there are talks about them and marriage ... marriage was always a state issue and there to and so it was written we can ride a lot of things like that and the Federal Constitution ... in fact ... not only issues like that which don't really built on the issues of crime were Allstate issues they didn't really can see the other about four different things that were federal crimes and the Constitution ... and nobody really conceived of all these things now anything anytime there's a terrible tragedy ... the federal all ... this edible when the state legislature because that's maybe more appropriately word this to the handle ... on what up ... on current form posse Momo one more ... last big ish question ... week or two ... Daniel Patrick Moynihan nineteen sixty five his famous ... report entitled the Negro family that ... the court case for national action ... pulling Moynihan ... the fundamental problem is that a family structure the Negro family in the urban ghettos is crumbling ... the middle class is meant to save itself but for vast numbers of the unskilled in poorly educated ... the fabric of social relationships has all but disintegrated so long is this situation persists ... the cycle of poverty and disadvantage will continue to repeat itself ... Moynihan wrote that in nineteen sixty five when the legitimacy rate among African Americans was twenty five percent ... today among whites ... the legitimacy rate is thirty six percent ... among Hispanics ... more than half ... and among African Americans ... more than seventy two percent ... sea can see where this is going ... while Grant's lower taxes more economic growth ... does any of the ... matter and if the American family continues ... to disintegrate ... Will NL it's no longer if it ever was a racial problem is a cultural problem it's it's across all races Charles Murray writes about this in ... coming apart ... any slowed to two different strata ... and it's an amazing thing that every kid should know it should be taught in every school ... is that there are two groups of people in our country ... those who have kids when they're not married in this Hugo ... and if you look at the two lines these are the ones in middle class and achieving well ... the ones in poverty or those reading kids sometimes five six kids without being married ... I can make a lot to tell you to get married or your kids get married ... so really is the idea that ... really something bigger to happen this is what's in the church is all about last week in churches is that ... dough will torture politicians for all the answers to your spiritual leaders of this country needs or a bobble called troll ... Reformation ... that is not can come from government oral all so this is this is one pm one of the trial could be because again my understanding of libertarians is pretty heavily conditioned but Northern California ... and ... then another element of the libertarian tends to be ... libertarian is intense disorder that Gnosticism you won't find too many libertarians showing up in church ... and yet there Senator Rand Paul so ... the question is ... if the breakdown of the family produces a demand for big government ... it's certainly produces Democratic voters we know single mothers ... kids who are upset that it ... young adults have been raised in broken homes ... for ... elderly people who are living in isolation because they no longer have family support ... those are folks who tend to vote Democratic ... if you care about small government ... there's almost a requirement to care about supporting the family is that why think so and there they had to drop the kids and their differ ways to look at it because it won which is a more moral and religious argument for the family and for the traditions of it and yet lived a libertarian you are due by the moral or yes but there's also an argument is completely beyond religion if you're an agnostic libertarian you say get keeping government out of my family structure ... Alan also say that what we simply teach ... that there's an economic argument for this that poverty as associate with adding his before you're married and a family structure ... helps to keep you out of poverty ... is not a perfect society in I think the danger in saying things like this is to say no one had my kids both Rosemary Muhammad in finder and I'm not a bad person Rom divorced ... to really isn't directed towards individual but you when you look at the statistics ... it is an enormous cultural problem ... in this is an argument you know it's it's not just a ... just say no this is sort of an argument for ... birth control it so it's hard even for planning your family and planning you know when you have a ... foreign policy the second inaugural address President George W Bush quote ... the survival of liberty and our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands close call ... to be safe at home ... we need to promote liberty abroad to find ... yes to a certain extent I think it depends on how you wanna promote liberty and and down ... you with some people who think supporting the Syrian rebels RightNow's away from Liberty ... I think it's much more murky them that we need to have a health care debate to determine when we get involved when we don't get involved ... you knew you could argue that the Arab Spring is brought more liberty ... to the Middle East the you can also argue that democracy that chosen people who are ... much more aam antagonistic towards our country ... and then if anything the governments ultimately settle in Egypt ... and Libya and maybe in Syria depending on what happens ... may or may not be more friendly towards America and there's a very good chance we'll Espen lines of ... it be careful what to wish more of a company try to continue going on here ... you give a speech at the Heritage Foundation on foreign policy discussed are more equal ... model Reagan did not shy from labeling the Soviet Union an evil Empire ... but he also sat down with Gorbachev and negotiated reductions in nuclear weapons ... true ... course Reagan sat down with the pilgrimage of after the biggest military buildup in our history ... six hundred ship Navy ... Army and ... freedom fighters in Central America and Afghanistan ... up and initiating this the strategic Defense initiative so brilliant ... Reagan uses rhetoric and uses diplomacy but pointed he also use power Friday ... yes but I would say if you look at him with regard to involvement I would say that he ... in some ways was more restrained than presence before after him as far as direct military involvement ... Ocwen we are in Levanon and had the tragedy with the Marines there he actually made the decision to come home because he said it was too murky and they couldn't figure out it wasn't safe way to have them in there ... he gets in and goes for two like band Ozzie now was it safe to have an embassy there was a state Eminem the sea and or State Department control was it ... safe to stay there when all your military support was saying we need more security and was denied ... so I think that Reagan really exemplified peace through strength ... but I think some of the neoconservatives up here in terms that is war to try that war is always the option we always have to be involved ... consequently they get caught up in a lot of contradictions ... so for example many of the people who wanted on the Libyan rebels ... also won on cannot be the year before ... now many of them want to arm the Syrian rebels who were allied with al Cato ... against ... a side ... again it has also lined with the Christians so it's really a murky situation Yemen Syria and to um I'm not sure it's entirely your heroes is chief executives would be ... Ronald Reagan who uses a great tool for supper rhetoric and diplomacy is very careful ... about actually using force or maybe ... white Eisenhower who ... ends the war in Korea ... six weeks into his presidency ... and then throughout the rest of his presidency there's only one direct engagement in Levanon and I think guys in our even underappreciated I know I was one of his quotes that I love this is that he says I hate war ... like only a soldier whose lives it can run ... the stupidity the banality ... utility in ... Iraq was in the state ... to go in in the first place yes ... it was in the first place ... okay ... now as Afghanistan and I was supportive of going and Afghanistan ... the men Afghanistan now the admissions been lost and ... you know we've got and in line with disrupted the Taliban ... next ten years of Korean and train the Afghan army we're not going to ... Dallas isn't a good analogy in Afghanistan its ally Syria such a mistake ... after ten years of being in Afghanistan it's a fairly stable you know it's like we can pay people to be in the military on Afghans on the train them ... we still can't be our friend from foe ... many people join the Afghan army and they just lock in a serious we love we were supportive Americans with Americans on the terms they shoot him in the back that's happened on the times ... imagine how much more difficult it's going to be in Syria ... we are handing out stinger missiles unmanned pads in all of the sophisticated weapons ... to decide his friend and foe ... okay so let me ask about of Pakistan said it ... would cut the drone program going on the killing bad guys there's ... collateral damage horrible phrase remaining debts to suppliers ... that requires as I understand that that requires a presence on the ground to develop our own intelligence suffer from what the Pakistanis tell us ... in the notion would be that that's pretty directly related to the defense of this Republic or not trying to ... engage in nation building in Pakistan say you support the drone ... program ... I think that within ... and throughout the world ... on the ground intelligence is something that we didn't spend money on and we do need be concerned with and that means Arabic speakers in our military is cause our State Department ... and people living in those countries in knowing about it ... op actions by one the most worrisome places in the world there's a ... significant amount of hatred for America there ... I don't see it paying ... two billion dollars the year directed the tax and government imprisoning ... really the best informed we ever had maybe you're one of the debtors said Shaquille a free game ... will this get information on bin Leyden ... rocketing get much more information from informants of real protect our informants and I think it's been a mistake to weaken TV among impacts and despite them imprisoning him for the rest of his life ... aam with regard to the drone program ... this deadly a any usefulness returns with income that within within the military ... anything that can save our soldiers' lives on for ... killing non combatants ... American citizens I think they should be tried for treason it's a very rare occurrence of going Tory one ...

I think there isn't it time im thin line nothing to serve twenty God and he should have whether this was a drone within Division soldiers ... aam and so there are some leaders of these terrorists that with that I think should be killed ... but what you've knocked off the top leadership in the new knock off the next leadership in the next issue is there ever an and ... an answer a point on that which ... it becomes sort of a recruiting tool and a negative thing for America ...

An accident or illness that results in a brain injury can be devastating, leaving you and your family with many stressful considerations. Choosing a rehabilitation facility is one of the most important choices you will have to make since the provider has a significant impact on recovery. Look for a rehabilitation facility that meets the following qualifications:
If you or a family member is recovering from an injury or illness – such as a stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury or multi-trauma – you deserve the best inpatient rehabilitation available to return to the people and activities you love more quickly and with more function and independence.
Inpatient rehabilitation is the highest, most intense level of post-acute care for rehabilitation. But when is a stay in an acute rehabilitation hospital the appropriate level of care? Who decides?
When an illness, unexpected injury or surgery results in a stay at an inpatient rehabilitation hospital, the experience is often overwhelming. Patients may have many questions, such as: How long will my stay last? Will I be able to manage at home when I am discharged? What does my insurance cover? If I cannot pay for the care I need, is there support available?
You've made the decision to have your knee or hip replaced and been told that you will need inpatient rehabilitation to get back on your feet. You probably have a lot of questions. What should you expect? How much therapy will you receive? Will your pain be managed? What will you be able to do when you get home?
Does walking up a flight of stairs cause pain in your knee? Do you feel stiffness and pain even while doing simple, everyday tasks or pain in your knee while sleeping? Is your lifestyle hampered by pain, causing you to not do some of the things you love because your knee can't handle it?
It might be time for knee replacement surgery.

Together with the Police Department and the Courts, it represents one facet of Philadelphia's criminal justice system. The District Attorney represents the citizenry of Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in criminal proceedings throughout the Philadelphia and Commonwealth court systems.
- Administrative Subunits
Trials DivisionThis division, the largest division of the District Attorney's Office, consists of the Municipal Court Unit, Major Trials Unit, Felony Waiver Unit, Family Violence and Sexual Assault Unit, Charging Unit, Pre-Trial Unit and the Homicide Unit.
Investigation DivisionThis division investigates complaints made directly to the District Attorney and initiates inquiries into areas that raise suspicion of criminal offenses. These inquiries may involve the use of an investigating grand jury. The division includes the Economic Crimes Unit, the Special Investigations Unit, the Insurance Fraud Unite and the Government Fraud Unit.
Law DivisionThe Law Division consists of the Appeals Unit, which handles federal and state court appellate cases; the Legislation Unit, which drafts and promotes statutes to improve the criminal justice system; the Post-Conviction Relief Act Unit, which handles Post-Conviction Relief Act petitions filed by convicted defendants; and the Civil Litigation Unit, which handles civil law matters for the Office.

- Agency History
- Prior to 1850, the functions of this office were performed by a deputy State Attorney-General. An Act of 3 May 1850 created the elective post of District Attorney in every county of the state with a term of three years. The term was extended to four years under the State Constitution of 1874. In 1873, the District Attorney was empowered to appoint detectives distinct from those of the Police Department to aid his investigations. The powers and functions of the District Attorney have passed virtually unchanged through the various reorganizations of the City and County government from the date of its creation to the present.

Holiday Single Girl - a blog for singles who love Christmas
My wife and I do all of our gift shopping online. Mostly Amazon, Disney and Toys R Us. We used to use eBay a lot but haven't bought anything there in years since sellers started charging $10.00 for shipping and then mailing the items parcel post for $1.75.
Hallmark ornaments and such we Google around for. Most of our ornaments, though, come from Bronners.com, especially since our son was born. Our tradition is we get a personalized ornament every Christmas that has Daddy, Mamma and our son's name on it.
Today I had to get some stuff at Walmart and I ended up getting some wrapping paper! They had some huge rolls for only $3.00 so I couldn't pass that up. Every year I don't buy enough and then I'm forced to go last minute and spend $5.00 on a roll that's barely enough to wrap one gift.
We shop online and in the stores.Ornaments ,cards,gift wrap and bows we stock up on at the after Christmas sales.
'I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!' Scrooge repeated, as he scrambled out of bed. 'The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. Oh, Jacob Marley! Heaven, and the Christmas Time be praised for this! I say it on my knees, old Jacob, on my knees!' (Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol)
I was hit with a 10 Dollar Postage Charge on a product I ordered from a neighboring town (and it took 5-Business Days to arrive!!). I could have literally drove to where they shipped from and picked it up myself. Since that day I don't really like buying off the internet. I like to see and touch what it is I am buying and see who the person is who is selling it to me.
Outside of that I just love Malls at Christmas. I love the setting of the mall, all the people, the music and advertisements, kids making a mental note of this lists to Santa -- really I don't even mind the hassle that comes with all of it (finding parking spots, aisles packed with people)
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens
Malls are so festive at Christmas time! I could never miss out on that!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I prefer to shop in stores or malls only rather then online. When you shop online you dont have this special magic feeling of Christmas coming)))
I did some online shopping a couple of days ago but I've saved some regular shopping for the local shops.
Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
I prefer shopping online because its way easier to find items and deals. And the malls are always so crazy and sometimes places get very unorganized !! Well it is over here at least.
I only buy online what I cannot find in the stores.

Whether the man was outside the "lifeguards zone" or not, he still did the right and moral thing! Was the lifeguard suppose to have just let the man die? The fact that this lifeguard and his co-workers were fired for doing the right thing is an outrage! Is this really what our country has become? A country of passerby's and onlookers?
A Florida lifeguard has been booted from his lifeguard chair for running to save a man who was floundering in the surf.
Tomas Lopez , 21, was fired by his supervisor for vacating his lifeguarding zone to save a man drowning in an unprotected area of the beach in Hallandale Beach, Fla., on Monday, reports the Sun Sentinel.
Lopez' employer is not paid to patrol the zone where the man had been in trouble.
According to the Sun Sentinel, Lopez was approached by a beachgoer who pointed out a man struggling in the water nearly 1,500 feet south of his post.
Instinctively, he ran down the beach to save him. By the time Lopez got to him, he had been pulled to shore by fellow beachgoers.
Following his rescue attempt, Lopez was let go for leaving the area he was supposed to be covering.
Jeff Ellis and Associates, a private aquatic safety contractor, is hired by the city to patrol the beaches. The company is also in charge of hiring and training the city's lifeguards.
Susan Ellis, spokeswoman for Jeff Ellis and Associates, told the Sun Sentinel that Lopez broke company rules when he left his zone, and cited "liability issues" that may have occurred as a result of Lopez leaving his designated area.
Ellis could not be reached for further comment.
Some of Lopez's friends rallied for him on his Facebook page where he had posted the Sun Sentinel's article.
"thats messed up but im proud of you for standing up like that and doing whats right. Tomas Lopez = Hero!!" one commenter wrote.
Tom Gill, spokesman for the United States Lifesaving Association, said Lopez's firing came across as a little harsh.
"It seems unfortunate that a guard would do what he's trained to do and be fired for it," he said.
Gill said that the boundaries set by Jeff Ellis and Associates were most likely set by the city of Hallandale Beach in a private contract.
"Usually when the municipalities hire someone to [lifeguard], those organizations are not only taking on the responsibility of the job, but a lot of the liability," he said.
USLA is recognized as the authority on open water lifesaving by the Red Cross, and certifies agencies and associations around the country based on their training.
Gill said Jeff Ellis and Associates has not applied for certification with USLA, and so he could not speak on the company's regulations or training.
"As far as being fired for going outside the zone, I couldn't tell you how they could make that justification," he said.

Well folks, there is a lot more lessons coming your way today but I'm not sure which order to submit them in. I started with Trollface and then moved onto Ninjago, but now I think I'm going to take a step nto Japenese culture and submit a tutorial on "how to draw Lucky Cat", step by step. If you are familiar with the name, than you know that this cat has been around since the 1600's. The Japanese name for this ceramic cat is actually Maneki Neko, and it is a Japanese sculpture that is said to bring good luck to the owner that has one. These ceramic sculptures are made in the image of a cat with a very simple expressive face. These figures come with one hand raised either the right or left, or you can also find them with both paws raised. You will often see these cats on display in various places in Japan like restaurants, stores, and other establishments. The Maneki Neko can also be found for purchase in the form of a piggy bank, key-chain, and other various objects. I have even seen this sculpture a few times in Asian style restaurants and I always wondered what they were. Along with the cat, they almost always have a tag attached to the collar with Japanese writing on it. Remember when I said that you can find these ceramic cats with either the right or left paw raised? Well, there is actually a meaning for the different paw poses. If the right paw is up, this means that it is protecting your money or money, but if the left paw is up this is a gesture that is supposed to attract money. I think this is a neat creation, and I wouldn't mind owning one of these figures. Even though I don't have one now, I can still have one on paper and so can you because I am going to show you how you can "draw a Lucky Cat" or Maneki Neko too. When you're done be sure to post the drawing on your wall so it too can bring you money, or protect your money. Have fun guys and thanks for joining me once again.

Q: I would like to kill off the weeds in my pond but I am nervous that the smaller fish will not have any place to hide from the bigger fish. Is it possible to have a weed free pond and still have a good fish population?
– Scott of Texas
A: Absolutely. In most cases, artificial habitat is more productive than the real thing. For example the porcupine® fish attractor (pictured left) is a simple way to create a working ecosystem within your pond or lake. Due to their unique design they create a natural habitat allowing multiple places for small fish to hide. The porcupine fish attractor is made of a custom green thin wall PVC. The green color allows the habitat to blend into the pond and the diameter of the PVC provides a safe place for minnows to spawn. Another important advantages are the sustainability of the PVC material. PVC will not decompose, cause any water quality issues, and will not snag a fisherman's hook.
Note: For those of us northerners that enjoy ice fishing, now is the time to make your own fishing hole. Simply place the porcupine fish attractor where only you can find it and you'll be sure to be filling your buckets come this winter!You can also build your own structure out of PVC or create a structure with rocks and boulders or other materials. If possible stay away from materials that can rot and put unnecessary debris and nutrients into your pond. Read more about creating fish habitat here.

Indians recall LHP Scott Barnes and CA Yan Gomes; Lou Marson placed on the 15-Day DL
The Cleveland Indians today announced the following roster moves relative to the Major League roster:
Recalled CA YAN GOMES and LHP SCOTT BARNES from AAA Columbus.
Placed CA LOU MARSON on the 15-day Disabled List with right shoulder inflammation (retroactive to April 25).
Gomes returns to the Major League roster after appearing in 6 games with the Indians from April
9-24, hitting .211 (4-19) with a triple, 2 homers and 3RBI in 6 games (.842OPS). Around his two week stint he has hit .300 (6-20) with 4 2B & 3RBI in 6 games for the Columbus Clippers. He wears #10.
Barnes begins his first stint with Cleveland this season, having started the year in AAA Columbus following his option out of Major League spring training camp on March 21. With Columbus he went 2-0 with a 4.70 ERA in 7 relief outings (7.2IP, 7H, 4R/ER, 5BB, 8K, .280AVG) and limited batters to a .182 (2-11) average against with runners on and a .250 (2-8) mark by left-handed hitters.
Marson has been bothered by shoulder soreness periodically in spring training and the regular season. This marks the second DL stint of his season/career as he has appeared in 3 games (0-3) after going on the DL from April 9-24 with a cervical strain.
The Major League roster now consists of 26 players with today's scheduled day/night doubleheader in Kansas City.

server documentation
hello community,
i don't know if this is the right section for this thread. if it's not please accept my ap.
a few weeks ago i have received the task to document the server i maintain. the office i work for develops a document management system for germany.
my boss wants to document the project and present it to some organization that people trust in germany. that organization will give us a license to prove that our system is "ok" from technical/security stand point.
i have never done this sort of documentation so my question is how should i approach this task? what are the main points to take in consideration when doing such a thing?
thank you
all the best,

I've had to do some security documentation for some of our servers so that they would be allowed to operate on the enterprises network. But, they proved a questionire to fill out.
The main things the want covered are:
- what process are running on the servers.
- who has access to the servers (remotely and physically)
- are there different user roles with different levels of priviledges
and describe them.
- are there logs? are the logs reviewed and how often?
- my servers are in a healthcare/insurance environment so they want
to know information on what can of data it contains and is there a
possiblilty that someone could steal people personal information. And
in the US we have to follow HIPAA guidelines.
- And of course desribe the security procedures and such.
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words." -Philip K. Dick
I had to do a similar task here. However, my approach had to be focused on security rather than performance or availability.
If you want to do something more generic, you could explain why your machine is performant, secure and scalable.
If you want to do something more security-centric, you could talk about how you deal with security on a daily basis and how security layers are deployed on the machine (firewall, file permissions, defense-in-depth approach, use of secure protocols only, etc.).
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."
You don't mention where you are located, but if you are not in Germany, be aware that business in Germany is more formal than it is in the US. You can't just pick up the telephone to identify the right people. Your boss, if he is the company representative, would have to talk to his counterpart in Germany, who would introduce him to a proper contact in the review company; they would decide who in their organizations would talk (or email) with his chosen party (namely, you). Language should be no issue.
Once it is clear what the goal of the review is, and how it is conducted, you should be in a much better position to write the document. It seems that this is none too clear at the moment.
thank you all for advice.
My boss is the german guy who first opened the company in Romania. Now that i have some guidelines i can ask him to talk to the organization who gives the license so that they would contact us (me) through email (phone) and ask for guidance.
Thank you all once again. At least now i see some "light" in this task.
all the best,

Business in the US is much less formal. Here I could talk directly to the licensing company for advice. You would never to that in Germany: everything goes up the managerial chain, horizontally to the other firm "at the appropriate level", and then back down. Fortunately communication between the rungs of the management ladder usually is pretty rapid.
I should note that in the past I have worked for a German company, but a very large one which may be more formal than many. But I would not count on it.
Whether talking with the other company is the best route to follow or not you will have to decide. But you should have clearly in mind what it is that is expected before you start writing. That a license is issued implies that there are certain expectations that must be fulfilled. (The Germans love licenses too, btw.)
On a tangent, there was a recent article that certain senior people were arrested because they held out the title of "Doktor." Legally they could not do so because those Ph.D. degrees were conferred by US institutions, like Stanford or MIT or CalTech. Instead, their business cards had to state that they held a Ph.D. from this or that university, and the location of the University. But they could not refer to themselves with the honorific "Doktor."
Anyway DrJ thank you very much for you guidance. I'll write back how it works in a while.
all the best,

No offense -- I'm German too! Well, at least I was born to German parents, and it is my native language.
Thinking about your situation more, I really think you ought to talk with your boss first. He really is your "customer", unless you have been given the responsibility of getting the license by yourself. So ask him what he wants, and what the licensing requirements might be. He either knows and will tell you, or he won't know. If the latter, he may find out, or want you to do so. That is when you ask to talk to the other company, which he can arrange.
But it is fine to ask for clarification for a task you were given. He wants you to do it well, so if you have questions, please ask him.

The Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military honor, is awarded by the President, in the name of Congress, to U.S. military personnel for "Conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty."
By Sully Witte
More than 3,400 men and one woman will be memorialized in Mount Pleasant in the coming years as the new National Medal of Honor Museum at Patriots Point rises above Charleston Harbor.
It will be the only museum in the country that brings together the story of the nation's highest military honor, all of its recipients and the wars in which they fought.
State House Speaker Bobby Harrell is honoring plans to build the Medal of Honor museum.
Harrell gave medal recipient Marine Maj. Gen. James E. Livingston a copy of a resolution supporting the museum planned for the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum on Charleston Harbor.
The resolution says South Carolina will be honored to have a museum to honor the recipients of the nation's highest award for valor.
Livingston received the Medal of Honor for his actions in Vietnam in 1968. He is from South Carolina and is on the foundation organizing the museum.
The Budget and Control Board approved a 99-year lease at $1 a year for the new museum on May 8.
The museum will serve as a permanent place of honor and recognition for those 3,457 service men and one woman who have received the highest levels of recognition, "above and beyond the call of duty," in service to the nation.
In March 2013 the nation marked the 150th anniversary of this country's highest military honor. All 50 states and the District of Columbia are represented among the 3,457 service men – and one woman – who have received the Medal of Honor since its inception.
The new National Medal of Honor Museum will be a principal attraction at Patriots Point, preserving and presenting the extraordinary stories of America's Medal of Honor recipients. Programs and exhibit galleries will help guests understand the meaning and price of freedom and encourage them to embrace their responsibilities as citizens in a democracy.
The addition of a National Medal of Honor Museum is an honor to the region as much as it will prove to be an economic development vehicle.
In an effort to make Patriot's Point a sustainable business entity, - one looked upon as a cultural destination of national importance - the Patriots Point Foundation retained PGAV Destinations to develop a master plan to develop Patriots Point into a nationally prominent cultural destination. PGAV is a St. Louis-based destination planning firm that has advised clients in more than 30 states and on five continents. The master planning process for Patriots Point began in October 2010, and included interviews with stakeholders, benchmarking of similar cultural destinations, the potential for public/private partnerships, consumer research and financial analyses. PGAV recommended that the first step was the creation of a National Medal of Honor Museum, "in an architecturally significant building that uses powerful heroic stories to inspire patriotism and appreciation for all who serve this country."
The current Medal of Honor Museum is located on the hangar deck of the USS Yorktown. The space no longer suits the demand for the attraction. And in planning for the future, the consultant noted that a national museum would improve the USS Yorktown Aircraft Carrier Museum experience.
The $100 million, approximately 100,000-square-foot facility will include space for exhibit galleries, a chapel and dedicated classroom, meeting and conference space.
Museum exhibits and programs will be designed to enhance visitors' understanding of and appreciation for the stories of the Congressional Medal of Honor and Medal of Honor recipients, and the values associated with the medal. Educational programs, on-site and through outreach, will focus on the values and ideals of the Medal of Honor – leadership, sacrifice, patriotism and commitment.
Museum galleries, programs and activities will take advantage of current scholarship, technology and learning techniques and include interactive exhibits, live storytellers and dramatic immersion experiences. Exhibit gallery themes that PGAV recommended for consideration include:
• The Great Hall of Valor – A grand architectural space to honor Medal of Honor recipients and the values associated with the Medal.
• Conversation with a Hero – An innovative immersion media experience where guests can search a database for hero stories and have a virtual conversation in a small, personal setting.
• Freedom Status Center – A state-of-the-art "mission-control-style" interactive media gallery that allows visitors to search for hero stories and learn the status of freedom in the world in real time.
• The Price of Freedom – A unique large format theater using a live presenter, multiple video screens and a powerful audio system to tell the story of values, commitment and the price of protecting freedom in the world.
• Futures Studio – A distance-learning interactive classroom that uses live presenters, interactive media and distance-learning technology to take museum programs and exhibits into classrooms around the country.
• Uniform Collection – A display of military dress brought to life with media and technology will help visitors understand the men and women who wear the uniform as well as the history behind those uniforms.
• The Inspiration Center, featuring state-of-the-art classroom and meeting space, will create a unique setting for students and groups of all ages to understand and appreciate the power of the Medal of Honor story.
The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation is being organized as a non-profit educational institution to design, fund, build and maintain the new facilities. An incorporating board of directors has been named; additional board appointments will reflect the national scope and significance of the project.
Architectural and exhibit design plans, which have yet to be completed, will inform the final cost of the museum. Until the museum foundation's non-profit status has been approved, the Patriots Point Foundation has established a Limited Liability Corporation to receive funds designated for the new Museum.
