California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) is required by federal law to establish specific standards for measuring Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for students receiving financial aid. Although the academic progress standards are similar to those set by the university or academic departments for all students, the financial aid standards for SAP are not exactly the same due to the specific requirements of the legislation. In addition to meeting the academic standards for registration, a student must also meet the requirements of the financial aid SAP policy below to be eligible to receive federal, state and need-based institutional financial aid assistance. Scholarships and other awards may also require students to meet this standard.
Financial aid recipients are expected to make reasonable and timely academic progress toward their declared program objective (degree, credential or certificate) each semester. Progress is measured by the following standards:
Details of how each standard is measured are found below. It is important to understand that a student's entire academic history must be considered in these standards regardless of whether or not the student received financial aid for that course work.
Be aware that eligibility to enroll for classes does not mean that Satisfactory Academic Progress standards for the receipt of financial aid have been met.
Standard 1 is a qualitative measure of progress as measured by the student's cumulative grade point average (GPA). The cumulative GPA includes all CSULB courses that have been graded as well as any courses from other institutions that have been accepted and posted to the student's record. CSULB academic policies determine how the GPA is calculated including which grades count in the GPA calculation and the effect of course repeats on GPA. Students and advisors can see the current cumulative GPA on the student's unofficial transcript and Academic Advising reports.
To meet Standard 1, students must meet the minimum cumulative GPA requirement each semester as listed in the chart below:
|Academic Level
|Minimum GPA Requirement
|Undergraduate (1st Bachelor's)
|Master's & Doctorate
|Other Post-Baccalaureate Programs (Credential, Certificate, 2nd Bachelor's)
Standard 2 is a quantitative measure which attempts to calculate the pace at which a student is progressing toward program completion. Pace is measured by the cumulative percentage of courses attempted that are successfully completed for credit. There are two steps in performing this calculation.
Not all credit posted to the student's academic record is a good indication of the 'pace' at which they are completing their program. As a result, the various types of academic credit within the same academic career (undergraduate or post-baccalaureate) are evaluated based on the following:
Based on the courses that are included above, pace is then calculated by dividing the total number of credit hours successfully completed (passed with units earned) by the total number of credit hours actually attempted.
To meet Standard 2, students must satisfactorily complete at least 66% of all cumulative credit hours attempted as calculated above.
Standard 3 is also a quantitative measure to determine if the student is actually completing the academic program within a reasonable overall time frame based on units attempted. Students may not continue to receive financial aid once they have reached this standard. It is important to emphasize that once the maximum time frame is reached the student is considered ineligible for further financial aid and must complete their program without the benefit of these financial assistance programs. There are two steps in performing this calculation.
First the maximum units allowed for the academic program must be determined. This is calculated by multiplying the minimum units required for the academic program by 150% to determine the maximum number of units a student can attempt before becoming ineligible for financial aid.
Most baccalaureate programs require 120 units so the maximum time frame is 180 attempted units (120 times 150%). Higher unit majors are adjusted based on the minimum units required. Undergraduate students can pursue additional academic objectives (majors, minors, certificates) and receive financial aid as long as they do so within the units allowed for the 'primary' academic major. In other words, extra attempted units are not granted so that students can pursue additional objectives with the baccalaureate degree. (Please note: This approach is consistent with the Undergraduate Timely Graduation policy; however, this financial aid standard measures units attempted whereas the Timely Graduation policy measures units earned.)
The maximum attempted units allowed is also calculated by multiplying the minimum units required for the academic program by 150%. For students that are officially pursuing a financial aid eligible credential or certificate concurrently with a Master's program, the minimum units required of each program will be added together and then multiplied by 150%.
The total number of units attempted by the student in that academic career (undergraduate or post-baccalaureate) is calculated and compared to the maximum allowed in Step 1. As not all credit posted to the student's academic record can count toward the degree program requirements, the following exclusions/adjustments are made:
To meet Standard 3, students must have attempted less than 150% of units required for the academic program as calculated above.
Graduate students may be required to complete undergraduate level coursework to resolve pre-requisites or other necessary activities to complete their program of study. Graduate students should be aware of how undergraduate courses impact the three SAP Standards:
Be Aware: To receive graduate level financial aid in any term, students must be enrolled at least half-time (5 units or more) in courses designated to meet the graduate degree requirements as specified in the catalog.
Satisfactory Academic Progress is monitored at the end of each academic term (Fall, Spring and Summer). Students who fully meet all three standards above are considered in GOOD standing for SAP. Students who are not meeting the standards will be notified via email of the results and the impact on their aid eligibility.
Students who have reached the Maximum Time Frame (Standard 3) are immediately ineligible to receive additional financial aid assistance. Students may appeal this ineligible status (see "Appeal of the Maximum Time Frame" below). In addition, students who have been academically disqualified or suspended are also not eligible to receive financial aid assistance until formally reinstated to the University.
Students who are not meeting Standard 1 (GPA) or Standard 2 (Pace) are first placed on financial aid WARNING if they were in GOOD status the prior term. A student on financial aid warning will continue to receive financial aid for one term despite a determination that the student is not making Satisfactory Academic Progress.
At the end of the next enrolled term, students on WARNING must meet all three standards to be deemed eligible for continued assistance. Students who remedy their deficiency and are fully meeting the SAP Standards will be considered in GOOD standing for SAP again. If the GPA or Pace standard is still deficient, the student becomes INELIGIBLE for financial aid. This student may appeal his ineligible status (see "Appeal after Warning Semester" below). A student whose appeal is approved will be defined as on PROBATION and may receive aid for one additional term.
At the end of the next enrolled term, students on PROBATION must meet all three standards to be deemed eligible for continued assistance. This student may appeal this decision which must include an academic plan (see "Appeal after Probation Semester" below). If an appeal that includes an academic plan is approved, the student will be placed on PROBATION and continued aid eligibility will be monitored each semester based on the details of the plan. Failure to fully satisfy the approved plan in the next semester will make the student INELIGIBLE for financial aid. If the student continues to make progress based on the approved plan they will be considered in GOOD standing. Failure to continue to comply with the plan will result in PROBATION or INELIGIBLE status depending on the circumstances. Once students have failed to maintain satisfactory progress based on an approved plan, no further appeal opportunity is allowed. Students can only regain financial aid eligibility if they complete additional coursework without the benefit of financial assistance which brings them in full compliance with the SAP Standards or the approved academic plan.
Financial Aid regulations do not allow for the disbursement of any financial assistance for the next semesters until the campus can ensure that the student will be eligible to receive the financial aid under these SAP standards. As a result, a hold will be placed on the disbursement of financial aid for those students who are at risk of becoming INELIGIBLE. This includes:
Once grades are posted and SAP Standards can be monitored, the hold will be released for those deemed eligible. The hold will not be released for those deemed ineligible until such time as an appeal is approved.
Due to the timing of grade submission for Spring and Summer terms, this will mean a delay in the release of funds past the beginning of the next term. As a result, students in one of the 4 statuses above during a spring term who are enrolled in summer will have summer financial aid held until at least mid-June. Students in one of the 4 statuses above during a summer term will have fall financial aid held until at least mid-September.
Students in an INELIGIBLE status may regain eligibility as follows:
If adjustments have been made to the student's academic record after their SAP status has been calculated, students may request in writing that their SAP status be re-reviewed. This may be necessary when:
Students who fail to meet these standards and lose eligibility for financial aid can appeal the decision. As part of all appeals, the student is required to provide the following:
The complete appeal packet must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office within four weeks of the date of the ineligibility notification. Appeals will be evaluated by the SAP Appeal Committee within 3 weeks of receipt of the completed appeal. Students will be notified of the results by email. If a student wishes to challenge the denial of an appeal, they must provide a clear written rationale for this challenge within two weeks of receipt of the appeal denial to the Director of Financial Aid. The Director will consult with the Associate Vice Presidents of Enrollment Services, Academic Affairs, and/or Student Services, as appropriate in responding to the challenge.

Skip to comments.Can Joel Osteen Help You Pay Your Bills?
Posted on 12/19/2009 6:37:28 PM PST by marshmallow
Houston, Texas (CNN) -- Joel Osteen strides into the former Compaq Center. Some 20,000 people are standing and singing. Purple lights softly pulse across the ceiling, and mist floats around two giant screens flashing words to the songs.
It's not a pulpit but a podium. It's not an altar but a stage. There is no cross. Instead a huge globe spins, and two massive bubbling creeks flank the stage. A lighting system softens distant corners of the massive arena and spreads colored light and smoke in strategic spots. Somehow, the space that will hold 40,000-plus on Sunday morning doesn't feel like a sports arena.
In the control room, producers watch multiple camera angles and feeds.
Smiling broadly, Osteen bounds up the few stairs to the stage, closes his eyes, lifts his hands and leads a prayer.
"God, I'm going to start this week off in faith. Expecting your goodness. Expecting to have a blessed and a prosperous week. Amen. Well, God bless you. Give him your very best today."
Welcome to Sunday morning at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. It's reportedly the nation's largest congregation and probably one of the most diverse places in America. One third of these churchgoers are Hispanic, one-third African-American and a quarter white. There are dozens of nationalities.
Osteen will give this sermon twice. He later said he knows immediately which segments to edit together into a sermon that will air on television to millions three weeks later.
Between services, he is signing his most recent book in the lobby, just past the bookstore that is one of the highest-grossing Christian bookstores in America.
His wife, Victoria, is co-pastor of the church and a best-selling author in her own right. In fact, the Osteens are not paid to be pastors at Lakewood, according to .............
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
To be informed: Just type in "Joel Osteen Fraud" in Google and see what you get!
I got my tagline from Rush.
He said it one day on his radio program - and it just stuck with me.
The liberals want to make "wants" as "rights".
Good for the Judge .. he's becoming more and more conservative every day!!
Almost all of the current crop of life coaches go back to Napoleon Hill.
His word says And now abides faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.1 Corinthians 13:13 The circumstance in Iraq doesn't change that. Some things are hard to understand, but that's where we go to God, not condemn a fellow believer who God is using to encourage his sheep based on biblical truth.
They're real Christians and real Christians know life is one difficult road. Read about St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein). There was no "prosperity" when she died for the Faith in Auschwitz. Being a Christian doesn't mean life is a cake walk.
Osteen=snakeoil. At least his wife hasn't caused another scene on a airliner in first class this Christmas-time. yet.
Sorry, it isn't a "wish" .. IT'S A PROMISE FROM GOD.
The Gospel is everything GOD guaranteed it would be.
There are thousands of PROMISES that GOD gave to the church .. but sadly a lot of churches preach that those promises are not for YOU, or not for TODAY. But .. they would both be wrong.
It's really sad that you don't believe that God loves you and He wants you to prosper and be in health. The way you do that is that you remind God of his Word (which He commanded you to do). Then, you say back to God - thank you Father that you have prospered me and I'm in good health; even if I can't see it manifesting yet.
I dare you!
Before I became born again I was involved in the new age beliefs for almost 30 years.
IMO any church that doesn't have a cross smacks of new ageism.
The "Joel Osteen Fraud" is itself a fraud. I investigated it and these Pharisees come up with nothing substantial.
Amen to all of that but if you're preaching prosperity as an integral part of God's promise, what do you actually say to people who are anything but prosperous and are in fact in the depths of human misery?
"Your Best Life Now" is completely and utterly hollow for those on the front lines of Christianity, such as the beleaguered Christians in the Middle East or Pakistan. This is a living martyrdom and way of life which is entirely foreign to Osteen.
He's a pitchman to the American middle class. He has zero relevance to the Church Militant.
"Its only jealously"
Yep. That's about the size of it.
How can someone tell you how to prosper if they aren't prospering themselves?
He has accepted a (relatively) small salary for the level of financial responsibility he has. He also donated a bunch of the money from one of his books to a charity.
As you said, it's just jealousy.
I was curious about Tony Robbins too .. but then I discovered that when you have completed to a certain level (whatever that is), you are invited to a private weekend and there you are compelled to walk barefoot across a bed of hot coals; I saw the videos on TV years ago.
That's when I was sure he was a cultist.
Where do you think you got that Bible you carry to your church every Sunday? Mars? It was collated by the Catholic Church. You guys took out the parts that offended you, but it was collated long before Martin Luther ever took his first breath.
"Catholics still have it and you can read it HERE"
I don't care to read it.
I read all the other books myself and I made my own conclusions about the Priesthood of the Believer.
Hmmmm ..?? You might want to try "Google fraud" and see what you get!
He preaches God's Word and you condemn him, like the Pharisees did Jesus. You have produced no scriptural grounds for your condemnation. The burden of proof, my friend is not on the accused, but on the accuser. So far, your accusations look hasty, unjust and close to being in league with the Accuser of the Brethren.
The promises are real. I have prosperity and an inheitance that is beyond riches. My bank account is bone dry.
Ask the Apostle Paul how his finances were as he finished his life in prison
Yet he claimed riches that are unbelievable as well.
Just not monetary.
Dietrich Bonhoefer ... died in a NAZI prison camp.
Prosperity gospel is for the snake oil salesmen and their followers. They KNOW who they are.
"Don't believe that God loves me"??......LOL........that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?
So why did Jesus prophesy to Peter that he would die a martyr's death?
That's not very healthy and prosperous, is it?
What about the book of Revelation? It sounds like there's big trouble in store at some stage for Christians.
You sure we're reading the same Scriptures?
Amen brother. May God give us grace to see Him through the din of man's confusion.
I read one of his books. There was some good stuff about controlling your thought process, but then he started talking about the collective consciousness. That was when I knew he was off the deep end.
He preaches a gospel which is aimed specifically at Americans.
Large portions of the Christian Church would have no idea what he is talking about. All they want is their next meal......."give us this day our daily bread"..........prosperity???.............pfffffffffffffff!!
You have produced no scriptural grounds for your condemnation. The burden of proof, my friend is not on the accused, but on the accuser. So far, your accusations look hasty, unjust and close to being in league with the Accuser of the Brethren.
Actually I have.
You've disputed them but that's another story.
The Pharasees, who have always been confused about God's Word, have always hated it - not enough (of man's) religion for them.
Tell us Joel Osteen's "Prosperity Gospel" is not an outright fraud. Here is Joel O in his own words and where another fraudster Rick Warren takes him on. Have fun.
For Osteen, Prosperity Gospel isn't a pejorative term:
"Does God want us to be rich?" he asks. "When I hear that word rich, I think people say, 'Well, he's preaching that everybody's going to be a millionaire.' I don't think that's it." Rather, he explains, "I preach that anybody can improve their lives. I think God wants us to be prosperous. I think he wants us to be happy. To me, you need to have money to pay your bills. I think God wants us to send our kids to college. I think he wants us to be a blessing to other people. But I don't think I'd say God wants us to be rich. It's all relative, isn't it?"
On the other side is the guy whose church rounds out the "largest four" list:
"This idea that God wants everybody to be wealthy?", [Rick] Warren snorts. "There is a word for that: baloney. It's creating a false idol. You don't measure your self-worth by your net worth. I can show you millions of faithful followers of Christ who live in poverty. Why isn't everyone in the church a millionaire?"
Is he telling the congregation what it yearns to hear? I tried to listen to him once, but my mind started wandering off in a hurry.
No, you've only offered something from something called the Book of Wisdom, whatever that is. Your arguments, as the Pharisees in Jesus' day, have not been scripturally based.
Only Jesus can be all things to all people.
I'm glad there is a Joel . . . This world has plenty of fire and brimstone spokespersons if one cares to look.
And, I'm thankful for fire and brimstone preachers. They taught me very starkly clearly some hint of what it means to fall into the hands of an angry God unprepared to meet Him.
Joel DOES get to things like taking each thought captive etc. He preaches from the whole counsel of Scripture while emphasizing an extremely positive focus.
Scripture itself insists that we are to think on
whatsoever things are lovely, of good report etc.
Perhaps Joel carries that much further than most would carry it. God is his paymaster and boss. Am quite willing to leave his disciplines, if necessary, to God.
CNN....oh please give me a break...
Both of them are theological "children".
I have resisted in purchasing all symbols of the faith, from the cross necklace to the fish on the backs of cars to the angel pens. Actually I think the one angel pen I saw in a store turned me off completely to Christian symbol merchandise. It was a fancy pen with a gaudy angel on the pen clip. In general, I just resist the whole marketing ploy that I see with the symbols (I'm cheap that way too). It doesn't remind me one way or another of Christ. In fact, you can prob. make a case against displaying fish symbols on cars if you're an angry or terrible driver.
Why is there so much hatred towards this guy? Well, I think the Devil hates him because Osteen's got a secret about victory that if embraced can turn a useless Christian into a powerful force of faith for God and against darkness. If he can't keep you from accepting Jesus, Satan's next step is to make you a weak, joyless, useless believer who won't bother his plans or his kingdom of darkness.
I think there is great truth in your assertions.
I think he teaches faith better than most.
He helps make it easier, i.e. more functional—workable, to practically 'walk out' a faith attitude, orientation, thought-life.
vs pie in the sky notions of faith.
You bet my friend. We're in a fight and it's not against flesh and blood. Let's continue to "earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints." Jude 1:3
I'm sure you're right.
I don't know much about the dad except what Joel's told in his preaching.
Sounds like he may have been slightly more . . . well rounded in his preaching yet still overwhelmingly positive. Joel seems to have carried the positive focus to another level.
I admire him for carrying forward his father's Biblical vision and focus to greater heights. Many sons would have bastardized it horribly or fumbled it horribly or both.
This argument is so lame.
How can you be a blessing unless you have the means to be a blessing ..??
I've never seen a poor person who helped another poor person. In order to help someone you have to have the finances to bless someone else. You can't give what you don't have.
Besides, God wrote it: "Beloved, above all I wish that you mayest prosper and be in good health, EVEN AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS". So while you're learning more and more about God, God is planning on you being able to prosper financially as well. Perhaps a better job will come your way - unless of course you don't believe God can do those things.
It's sad really. You don't believe God .. so you don't want anybody else to believe either; because if others believe, then it makes you look bad.
"It was collated by the Catholic Church."
You're painting with an overly broad brush.
Until the Gutenberg printing press it is estimated that there were only about 30 to 50 complete copies of what we would consider a compilation of anything like our modern Bible. There was much dissent over what constituted the canon of scripture from the early church on (and the dissent continues today).
And the parts were not removed because someone was 'offended'. Parts were considered to be worthy of inclusion based on specific tenets such as Apostolic Origin.
Well .. enjoy your negative views of the scriptures .. quite frankly it's getting boring.
Well .. good luck with your "theory".
I listened to dozens of Kenneth Hagin tapes in my earlier years—a lot.
I rarely heard him say anything I could quibble much about.
His disciples [including his son] seemed to take things and run at least a bit sky west and crooked with them.
I think Kenneth Copeland is the best of them.
Regardless, the teachings ARE BASED ON SOLID SCRIPTURE.
I would that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.
And Henry Wright has been documenting that quite emphatically in a list of ways in helping people get healed of many incurable diseases.
Funny, there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of Christian churches around the world who do not have a cross in them.
And yet they are far better Christians then many I have met here in the States.
I missed your point in that post.
Sounds like Osteen says that God wants us to improve our lives, have enough to live and some left over for others. What's wrong with that? There are lots of promises in the NT where we are told that God will take care of our physical needs. Are you disagreeing with that?
Osteen preaches a Gospel that is antithetical to what took place in an Animal Manger in Bethlehem; on Mount Calvary; and the Empty Tomb.
Some churches are underground and have to go place to place with nothing but The Word! They know that's all they need.
Because it's a curse...Because it's a shame...Because Jesus was murdered there...Because the Jesus that we worship IS NOT THERE...He is risen...
I've been to churches with crosses and churches without crosses...Didn't see any difference in the preaching or the people...

DougCo Champions for Kids, a pro-Douglas County School Board community group, is getting financial help from the high-profile Independence Institute think tank in the lead-up to the November elections.
DougCo Champions for Kids describes itself as "a group of parents, educators, business people, and taxpayers who want to share the news about what's really going on in DougCo K-12 education."
The conservative Independence Institute "agreed to help us cover some minor expenses," said Franceen Thompson, a volunteer with the group.
DougCo Champions for Kids is registered with the Colorado Secretary of State as an unincorporated nonprofit association. Its registered agent is Mike Krause, the Independence Institute's vice president of operations.
"I'm the registered agent (but) I've had very little to do with the operations," Krause said in late August, and then said he would ask the staff member who "runs DougCo Champs for Kids" to call Colorado Community Media to answer specific questions. The call was not returned.
The Denver-based Independence Institute is a libertarian think tank currently rallying against the state's gun-control laws. It also promotes educational vouchers and charter schools. In April 2013, it conducted a phone survey on DCSD issues that some recipients characterized as slanted in favor of the district and against the teachers' union.
Thompson, also a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans, at first said she didn't know the details about DougCo Champions' funding, but later acknowledged the connection to the Independence Institute. Thompson has not responded to a follow-up request for clarification.
'Champs' grateful for help
Thompson said some community members who support the current board's reform policies became concerned last February about the distribution of fliers "spreading misinformation about what was happening in the school district."
"We did not have the funds to compete and decided to reach out (to) other organizations that might be willing to help our grassroots effort and counter the misinformation … regarding our school district and the reforms our district put into place," Thompson wrote in an email. "We reached out to the Independence Institute and asked if they would be willing to help us out. We are grateful to the Independence Institute for helping to organize a grassroots effort to get our message to the community."
Thompson, who supports DCSD's voucher and new pay-for-performance programs, said she is not paid for her time.
"I put in a ton of hours," she said. "That tells you how much I believe in what this organization is doing. I don't care where the funding comes from."
DougCo Champions has hosted community forums at which current board members have attempted to address community concerns. The organization's name is on pro-board fliers recently distributed at school events, including a Sept. 6 football game at Douglas County Stadium in Castle Rock.
School board vice president Kevin Larsen said DougCo Champions is not affiliated with the board or district.
"The district has to stay out of the political race," he said. "Whatever any of those other advocacy groups are doing, they're doing on their own accord."
Larsen said he and board member Meghann Silverthorn appeared by invitation at a DougCo Champions community meeting.
"Our showing up at any of those events is simply through accepting an invitation to engage," he said. "If Taxpayers for Public Education had invited us to be at an event where they wanted to meet the board and ask questions, we would go. We've never received any such invitation."
Taxpayers for Public Education is a plaintiff in a lawsuit against DCSD's voucher program.
Campaign manager identifies self
Additionally, Monument-based political consultant Chad Yelinski has identified himself on LinkedIn as a campaign manager for DougCo Champions starting in May 2013. He also lists "Douglas County School Board campaign" as a project that includes coordinating "grassroots effort to help educate citizens in Douglas County on the key issues going on for school reform. Paving the way for advocacy and education."
Yelinski, who did not respond to multiple attempts to speak with him, describes his role with the DougCo Champions' campaign on his LinkedIn profile as "gathering data through the use of a precise grassroots strategy to reach a very target group of voters," working to organize and educate Douglas County citizen groups, building a volunteer base and writing a development plan.
Yelinski's LinkedIn profile, on the morning of Sept. 12, said he was working as a "political operative" for a company he lists as C3 Political Consulting LLC, where he "organized events and grassroots for DougCo Champs 4 Kids."
Yelinski recently moved to Washington, D.C. for an internship with the Heritage Foundation, a think tank whose mission is "to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."
The LinkedIn profile was changed on the afternoon of Sept. 12 after the Heritage Foundation was contacted to verify Yelinski's activities. The post of "political operative" working with DougCo Champions for Kids, which had been listed as a current job along with his Heritage Foundation internship, was changed to a past job. His "campaign manager" description, which had been listed as continuing into September, has been revised to indicate that it also has come to an end.
Yelinski's other work experience includes a paid internship with EIS Solutions. That company was a 2011 campaign consultant for Douglas County Citizens for Education Reform, which supported two ultimately unsuccessful school district tax-hike proposals. He also served a 2012 internship with the Starboard Group, which helped coordinate a June 2013 Douglas County Educational Foundation luncheon that drew protesters questioning Starboard's work with conservative political candidates and groups.

This natural world is moving into the longed for days of spring. We hope we will see the greens of grasses, trees, and other plants, many of which we expect to see bloom.
We love all of this, yet are doing little to make it possible to keep it coming in the future. Well respected groups, like the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), who reports after a 20 year study by 2,500 knowledgeable scientists from 130 nations, that we must take action to reduce the over concentration of certain gases into the atmosphere in the next two years. Some of the effects of no action will be decreases of rain with consequential expansion of desert land causing food scarcity; melting icecaps will cause a rise in sea levels to flood islands and seaside land like the U.S. east coast.
These are things said often but derided by many. I can't figure out why they deride, except that each of us must take responsibility in different ways to prevent this from happening and these people don't want to do what needs to be done. They see that, it will, in the short run, change the source or amount of their income. However, not to do so will mean an end to their income for sure.
We have always been creative in developing new ideas as needed in this country and, actually, in the world. So we can continue to be creative. To encourage capable people to do this, we need to urge our legislators and public officials at all levels to do things in different ways to prevent, as much as possible the spread of these emissions. We can do things on a personal level to make this happen, also. The plants and flowers that bloom in the spring help use some of these emissions. But as they get too much they cannot keep up. We must work together with them so they will continue to bloom.
I feel sad when I hear people, whether local or media people or our government representatives, declaring that there is no global warming, nor are we affected health wise by chemical pollutants released into air and water and effected ultimately financially.
I will not try to prove such is so but just want to encourage all to do all they can to do one thing they see possible for themselves to preserve the tropical rain forests that are disappearing by the minute.
I could give several reasons for doing so, like preserving fresh water and keeping alive plants and other creatures that could enable us to cure diseases. Rather I'll give a couple of ideas of things anyone can do. These are things like only using wood products and beef (Are you surprised at that one?) that do not come from destroyed rain forests; only use products from rain forests that are produced without cutting them down like: using shade grown coffee, resins, fruits, giving as you can to groups such as the Arbor Day Foundation that work to preserve and replant rain forest.

Crazy! Last time I was in Morocco I was wishing it would rain to cool us off!!! I guess you never know what's in store! Best wishes…we're all keeping our eyes and ears on you guys out there in Sahara! Talk soon
I was looking for the fruity drink and umbrella ;) Hope you get off soon and run strong and smart. Good luck Bryon!
I cannot believe this craziness. All the best to all of you. We'll be tracking you here and on Lisa's blog. Stay safe indeed.
Byron, rain and all, this is so exciting. I have been to Morocco, in a hotel very similar, in a sand storm. Keeping my fingers crossed that doesn't happen to you. We are all following you and wishing you well!-JW
Dear Mountain Goat: It's called a "peal" of thunder. Unless Morocco has particularly noisy bananas.Love, Nick the Chick, HC '10
Thanks, Nick the Chick… I pondered the correct spelling of thunder peal for a while… and got it wrong. :-) It's corrected now.

Castleview Hospital Acquires Eastern Utah Surgical Center Hospital and surgical center to operate as one to improve healthcare delivery throughout eastern Utah
Castleview Hospital and Eastern Utah Surgical Center announced they will join forces to strengthen the surgical services available to patients in central and eastern Utah. Effective Oct. 1, Eastern Utah Surgical Center will be acquired by Castleview Hospital and renamed Castleview Hospital Surgery Center.
It will continue to operate at its current location at 200 N. Fairgrounds Road, Suite 1, in Price.
"Castleview Hospital and Eastern Utah Surgical Center share a commitment to providing high quality surgical services to patients," said Mark Holyoak, CEO of Castleview Hospital. "Members of the Eastern Utah Surgical Center team have worked with our hospital for many years.
Together, as part of one organization, we have a great opportunity to enhance surgical services across our community and better meet the needs of our patients."
Castleview Hospital's acquisition of Eastern Utah Surgical Center offers significant benefits to patients. By joining forces, the organizations can enhance healthcare services provided in Price and throughout the region, more efficiently respond to the growing demand for surgical services, and create a stronger continuum of care for all patients.
Eastern Utah Surgical Center will operate as a department of Castleview Hospital. Its six surgeons, who specialize in pediatric dentistry, dentistry, ophthalmology and oculoplastics surgical services, will join Castleview's medical staff. These surgeons are: Jeffrey E. Hansen, MD; Timothy Byers, MD, PhD;
Conley Call, MD; Trace Lund, DDS; Kevin Markham, DDS Bret Lowe, DDS.
The transition of Eastern Utah Surgical Center to a department of Castleview Hospital should be seamless for all patients, and there will be no changes in the surgical center's services or staff. Patients with questions about this transition may call 435-637-8689.

Government borrowing rose again in December, increasing the chances that Britain could lose its prized triple-A credit rating.
Public sector net borrowing came in at £15.4 billion for December, up from £14.8 billion in the same month a year earlier, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The figure was above economists' expectations of £15.2 billion and means that borrowing in the fiscal year to date was £7 billion higher than the same period in 2011.
A rise in Government spending in the month of 5.4 per cent outstripped a 3.6 per cent increase in tax receipts. Britain's national debt,

A Seven-Letter Vacation Curiosity
RAY: This puzzler was sent in by Bill Kojuck.
TOM: I used to watch his TV show!
RAY: I had to add four or five paragraphs of obfuscation and
declarification. Here it is.
Bill writes, "Last year, a friend of mine and his wife went on
vacation to Key West. They spent most of their time either sport
fishing on the high seas or carousing on Duval Street. My wife and I,
however, prefer a very different kind of vacation. We like hiking and
camping and using stone-age toilet facilities. So, we spent most of our
vacation in the woods in California and the Pacific Northwest.
When we returned from our trips, we compared notes. I said to my
friend that on our vacation we saw something that, when written down,
has all five vowels... and the vowels make up five of the seven letters in
the word."
TOM: You mean, A-E-I-O-and-U were all in the same word?
RAY: Right. They were in the same seven-letter word.
Bill says, "In fact, we saw not just one, but a few of these things.
My friend said, 'When we got to Key West, we also saw something that
when written down has all five vowels in its seven letters. In fact, we
saw quite a few of these as well.'
"Each of us wrote down our seven-letter word, and then exchanged
papers. They were the same word.
"But, what I saw and what he saw were very different things.
"The question is what did each of us see?"
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

I'd take the money, my balls ain't afraid
No thanks.
What if you get the money but instantaneously pop some balls down there? :|
Hell yeah surgery can give me steel balls, he can kick me 2000 times then won't hurt me.
Hell no. Basically, you'll be spending the rest of your life with an ice-pack on your nut-sack which I believe over time would make you both sterile AND impotent (taking successive shots to the balls would cause them to rupture after a period of time...OUCH!). Neither of which I think is worth that kind of $$$.
If it were something else then I would say hell yeah. But your talking about being kicked in two things that are very special to me. Nope not me.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
In fact, since you are rich, you can open a sperm bank JUST for you!
Imagine the banner: Franky's Sperm Bank. Comes in 24 colors and 48 flavors, for yours vagina truly.
As for the scenario of your balls rupturing. As long as you take you pain pills and testosterone supplements, you can still live a relatively health life..
If something goes wrong. You may die in anguish, but in comfort knowing that you died rich at least.
Man up! No pain, no gain!
Maybe we should just ban all girls for being OP.
The price will double too of course. Double the fun!

runs really big/wide
"One of the few Made in USA shoe companies left. These shoes are feminine styled man shoes and are pretty comfy. I ordered an 8.5 and they fit like 9's. I am returning and hoping the 8 fits just right (albeit wide). I cannot speak to quality but I would home that DSW of Vintage Shoe Co would stand behind them if they are so faulty as other reviewer experienced."

Very poor quality shoe
"This shoe is incredibly flimsy with a very thin sole. I have worn them about 8-10 times and already the bottom of the sole is separating from the rest of the shoe. Not particularly comfortable either. If these shoes cost $9.99 they might be worth the price but at $129.00, DEFINITELY NOT!"

Hag's Undertaker Junior 8pk
Offering a slightly smaller profile than the original, the Hag's Undertaker Jr. is a great choice for tough fishing conditions, or those times when fish are just keying in on smaller baits. Almost a craw bait and almost a creature bait, the folks at Hag's Tornado Baits didn't know what to call the Undertaker Jr. at first. That's because it incorporates the best and most prominent features of both bait styles into one incredible offering. The Undertaker Jr.'s specially designed "cups" on its claws and side appendages are designed to make them flap around with the slightest movement. Even subtle current will cause them flare enticingly without you having to impart any action. When the Undertaker Jr. is worked on a Texas-rig, shakey head or Carolina-rig, the side appendages fold under the bait, as if they were legs. The claws even move toward each other in front of the nose. When stopped, the side appendages float out to the sides and the claws swing back out like a live crawdad in a feeding position. On the pause, the Undertaker Jr. also stands up like a live crawdad in a defensive position with it's claws extended out. The Undertaker even has a special rattle chamber built into it, and has the same soft feel of the Hag's Tornado that bass love. Scented with garlic and available in a variety of colors, the Hag's Undertaker Jr. is sure to become one of your "go to" baits.

Customer Reviews
Comments: looks great preforms not so much. tried on shakey head & t-rig not nearly the action you would think for all of the arms.
From: Bumpnbtm: KY 4/11/14
Comments: I ordered a bag to try. Opened em up and was bummed. The first set of arms down from the nose are all kinked. Stupid. I HATE bad packaging. Every bait was this way. I'm sure they will work after ripping them off though, but damn it, man.
From: Jay6: USA
Comments: Nice craw with great action from the "wings" off the body and the antennae which help it glide over cover when Texas rigged on a 4/0 Trokar swimbait hook. Try Larew's Biffle Bug for a similar effect and even more colors. Hag's "Black Widow" has a great look. Product name is a turnoff for me.
From: Ed: Champaign, IL.
Comments: Awesome bait and Great action! Fish it Texas rigged or Carolina rig. Great both ways. Now I have to try flipping it.

Video breakdown: Marlies beat the Bulldogs 3-1 in Cobourg
Cam Charron
October 07 2012 08:25AM
Well, the Toronto Marlies defeated the Hamilton Bulldogs 3-1 in Cobourg Saturday night. If the highlight video is any indication, it may be useful to not watch any highlight videos without first turning off your computer speakers. This is the time of year when the familiar sounds of sticks, pucks and skates are expected and perhaps the Marlies would have been better off letting the sounds of the game explain themselves.
So, what happened in each of the above clips? Well, I'll break down the video, quite literally:
0:00 - 0:02: Ben Scrivens and Mark Owuya lead the team out onto the ice.
0:03 - 0:04: Nazem Kadri, Greg Scott and Jesse Blacker are seen lining up for the national anthem.
0:05 - 0:08: That is former OHL tough guy Jamie Devane laying a licking on some unsuspecting Montreal Canadiens prospect. I'd let you know who that is, but his nameplate is tough to read and the AHL has not yet released numbered rosters for the 2013 season.
0:09 - 0:10: Jamie Devane being led off the ice. Atta go Jamie.
0:10 - 0:12: The Bulldogs are celebrating Stephen MacAulay's goal. Here's the goods on that, from the Bulldogs.com writeup:
The Bulldogs opened the scoring at 4:19 of the opening stanza on a goal by Stephen MacAulay. After Kevin Gagne put the puck on the net, MacAulay shovelled in the rebound from the top of the crease with a backhander past Toronto Marlies starting goaltender Ben Scrivens.
It's a Saint John Sea Dogs reunion, there.
0:13 - 0:14: The Marlies look incredibly distraught after conceding a preseason goal.
0:15 - 0:19: That is Brad Ross positioning himself in front of the net. You get a bad angle of the play so it's tough to see the whole play. The puck was slapped on net, but it doesn't say by who. Jake Gardiner and Mike Kostka recorded assists on the play, so it's guesswork.
0:20 - 0:21: Way ta go boys.
0:22 - 0:33: Here's a steady stream of highlights. Kostka for the Marlies makes a big hit on some Bulldogs player. Nazem Kadri takes a slap shot, presumably after first taking a bite out of the puck. Somebody from Cobourg watches a stoppage with fiery intent. Kostka is hit again. Keith Aucoin takes a face-off and the other guy falls down. A referee stands in front of the net and…
0:34 - 0:35: …wait, did the Marlies just score? Greg Scott and Nazem Kadri celebrate. It's the first goal we can really see, where Scott just fires a low puck in.
Jake Gardiner passed the puck from the right point to the right circle where Nazem Kadri was stationed. Kadri then slid a pass to Scott in the slot who buried the puck under [Robert] Mayer.
Cool, I guess. That goal came with 2:05 to go. And you know what happens in close hockey games, right? All hell breaks loose and there's a bunch of pointless scrums, as the old saying goes.
0:36 - 0:38: Some more roughhousing. That's #25 for the Marlies going on somebody, Kenny Ryan wore #25 for the team last year but he's not a fighter. Again, with no roster, this stuff doesn't exactly work.
0:39 - 0:41: Wait, did we shoot enough B-roll? Hockey players skating from below the waist.
0:42 - 0:46: Another chance in front, and, woah, there's a look at the clock! Time is winding down in a 2-1 game!
0:47 - 0:52: Greg McKegg bears down on an empty net and ices this one. That was anti-climactic. You know when sports movies show the scoreboard ticking down and there's one last play with seconds to go? A breakaway with an empty net isn't the way to go about it, unless McKegg has somehow turned into Patrick Stefan.
0:53 - 1:00: And the Marlies "celly" their victory together.
This allows us to calculate "Marlies metrics", or how much time the highlight video spent on one particular aspect of the game. Overall, I counted about 28 seconds worth of B-roll footage, 25 seconds of actual hockey and seven seconds of fighting.
What did we learn about these players from the highlight video that we didn't know before? I'm stumped.
For a preseason game and the short video, it's hard not to get excited about this squad. It's intersting to note the line up from yesterday, as Holzer, Hamilton, Fraser, Zigomanis, Deschamps, and D'Amigo, were out. I expect them to be in the line up on Monday though.

I used to think a lot of things, but after having seen it in it's entirety recently I would have to say Death Note without a doubt.
Very hard to answer, but I think I'd say Death Note or Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu!
RahXephon, Elfen Lied, still a fan of Bleach, FMA, Excel Saga and Full Metal Panic: TSR are a few of my top choices
Why don't more people read these mangas?
Favorite current ongoing anime is Claymore.
Favorite completed anime is still Neon Genesis Evangelion (and we're getting new OAVs soon, yay!)
Favorite OAV is either FLCL or Hellsing Ultimate.
Favorite movie has to go to Escaflowne, though a close runner up would be Princess Monoke.

Most people exposed to the cholera bacterium (Vibrio cholerae) don't become ill and never know they've been infected. Yet because they shed cholera bacteria in their stool for seven to 14 days, they can still infect others through contaminated water. Most symptomatic cases of cholera cause mild or moderate diarrhea that's often hard to distinguish from diarrhea caused by other problems.
Only about 1 in 10 infected people develops the typical signs and symptoms of cholera, usually within a few days of infection.
Symptoms of cholera infection may include:
Dehydration. Dehydration can develop within hours after the onset of cholera symptoms. Depending on how many body fluids have been lost, dehydration can range from mild to severe. A loss of 10 percent or more of total body weight indicates severe dehydration.
Signs and symptoms of cholera dehydration include irritability, lethargy, sunken eyes, a dry mouth, extreme thirst, dry and shriveled skin that's slow to bounce back when pinched into a fold, little or no urine output, low blood pressure, and an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
Dehydration may lead to a rapid loss of minerals in your blood (electrolytes) that maintain the balance of fluids in your body. This is called an electrolyte imbalance.
An electrolyte imbalance can lead to serious signs and symptoms such as:
In general, children with cholera have the same signs and symptoms adults do, but they are particularly susceptible to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) due to fluid loss, which may cause:
The risk of cholera is slight in industrialized nations, and even in endemic areas you're not likely to become infected if you follow food safety recommendations. Still, sporadic cases of cholera occur throughout the world. If you develop severe diarrhea after visiting an area with active cholera, see your doctor.
If you have diarrhea, especially severe diarrhea, and think you may have been exposed to cholera, seek treatment right away. Severe dehydration is a medical emergency that requires immediate care regardless of the cause.

Amazon's growth masks some serious issues that pure-play e-retailers need to address.
At first blush, there's never been a better time to be a pure-play e-retailer. Online commerce continues to grow, with eMarketer projecting that e-commerce spending in the United States will increase about 15.1% year-over-year in November and December, growing to $61.8 billion from $53.7 billion in 2012. At the same time, Amazon's stock price topped $300 a share this summer, and is now marching relentlessly towards $400. Amazon also beat out Wal-Mart Stores as the No. 1 retail brand on Millward Brown's BrandZ index—with a brand value of $45.7 billion.
At the same time, "second-gen" or "e-commerce 2.0" startups such as Fab and Warby Parker are making waves with e-commerce sites that focus on new business models, branding, design, and product exclusivity. One Kings Lane is on track to surpass $300 million in revenue for its flavor of online retail, and other "second-gen" e-retailers are seeing similarly explosive momentum. Flash-sale site Zulily just raised $253 million in an IPO, and industry watchers anticipate that Gilt Groupe will file shortly.
While these success stories dominate the headlines, many industry experts sense that trouble is brewing for pure-play e-retailers who operate in the vast middle between Amazon and Fab. These "first-gen" e-retailers came on the scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s and have historically competed on mainly on rock bottom cost and vast product selection. These "first-gen" companies are often lumped with Amazon in customer experience studies. However, once you remove Amazon from the equation, it is very clear that Amazon's phenomenal brand and customer experience performance mask serious issues in this sector - and that the "first-gen" e-retailers are vulnerable to increased threats from both omnichannel and "second-gen" e-retailers.
OpinionLab's latest Customer Feedback Index report analyzes major "first-gen" e-retailers (excluding Amazon) and shows that "first-gen" e-retailers are clearly failing to deliver Amazon-type results and customer experience outcomes. We studied 10 major "first-gen" e-retailers alongside 20 well-known omnichannel retailers that operate both brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce sites. Customer experience performance was measured using OpinionLab's proprietary Customer Feedback Index, which is compiled from real-time online feedback and encompasses factors such as customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, customer effort, task completion, and other customer experience indicators. Here are some of the key findings:
In contrast to the customer experience stagnation of "first-gen" e-retailers, OpinionLab's data shows that omnichannel retailers are climbing back into relevance, with brands like Walmart, Apple, Lululemon, and J. Crew proving to be quite innovative. This innovation stems from a commitment to omnichannel strategy and is expressed as significantly improved e-commerce experiences.
Omnichannel retailers are starting to leverage their stores to fight back against the much-hyped "showrooming" threat. Experiments with next-gen fulfillment tactics like same-day in-store pickup, shipping directly from stores, and same-day delivery concepts like Google Shopping Express have put stores back on the bleeding edge of retail innovation. At the same time, futuristic retail concepts are turning shopping into an experience, instead of just a transaction.
All of these foreshadow a future that could be dangerous for "first-gen" e-retailers – and even leaders such as Amazon. According to leading retail analyst Anne Zybowski at Kantar Retail, "The biggest disruption to Amazon and e-commerce is some of the multichannel players getting it right." All signs point to the need for "first-gen" e-retailers to get serious about the customer experience if they are going to survive, let alone thrive.

Police: Suspect threatens mom with possible explosive
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - UPDATE 5:00 p.m.--- Sullivan County deputies responded to a home near Colonial Heights after a victim said her son threatened to blow up the home while holding what appeared to be an explosive device.
Public information officer Leslie Earhart told us 20-year-old Dillon Turnmire left the home.
Kingsport police tell us the suspect was stopped on John B. Dennis Highway near Stone Drive and arrested on unrelated charges, including possession of marijuana.
Kingsport and Johnson City bomb squads helped search the home where officials said three possible explosive devices were found.
Turnmire is charged with three counts of aggravated domestic assault, along with other charges.
Sullivan county deputies were called out to a home on Blue Haven Drive this morning. Public information officer Leslie Earhart said when deputies got there, a suspect threatened to kill his mother and her two daughters.
Officials said at the time the threat was made, the suspect has holding what appeared to be an explosive device.
The suspect left the home, and was spotted by Kingsport police after a BOLO was issued.
The suspect was arrested.
The Kingsport Bomb Squad and Johnson City Bomb Squad respond to assist in the investigation. When searching the home, officials said three possible explosives were found.

SAN FRANCISCO – A committee investigating the death of an America's Cup sailor earlier this month released a sweeping set of additional safety recommendations Wednesday, including lowering the race wind limits by a significant margin.
The new measures call for reducing wind limits in September's final round of racing from 33 knots (38 mph) to 23 knots (26 mph).
"Everybody feels that's the big one," said Tom Ehman, vice commodore of the Golden Gate Yacht Club, which represents the America's Cup defender Oracle Team USA.
Many of the 37 recommendations from the committee are aimed at boosting the personal safety of the sailors. Among the suggestions: improved body armor, underwater breathing devices and crew location beacons.
The review committee, headed by regatta director Iain Murray, also recommended "structural" changes to the high-speed, high-risk AC72 class of yachts slated for the 34th America's Cup and the equipment used to support them.
"I think the sailing community is going to be impressed by the scope, breadth and thoughtfulness of these recommendations and how swiftly the review committee has operated," Ehman told USA Today Sports by phone Wednesday.
On May 9, Andrew "Bart" Simpson died in a training accident when the Swedish-owned Artemis Racing boat capsized and broke into pieces.
Simpson, an Olympic gold medalist in sailing from Britain, is thought to have drowned when he was trapped under some of the wreckage.
The San Francisco Police Department is overseeing the investigation into Simpson's death but has yet to issue a report.
The new recommendations are not binding until the Coast Guard gives its stamp of approval. Only it has the authority to issue a marine permit for the series of races to take place this summer on San Francisco Bay.
Organizers said they had met with the quartet of teams Wednesday in San Francisco.
"All four competing America's Cup teams have cooperated in an open, helpful and constructive way, and the Review Committee noted there is a clear desire on the part of the teams to ensure the safety of the America's Cup as much as possible," said Murray in a statement.
The review committee will form additional task forces with experts to look into better protective gear for sailors, the statement added.
Ehman said they do not apply to training, which is expected to resume more broadly this week.
The America's Cup review committee had asked teams to hold off training until today.
The Italian team, Luna Rossa, ignored the recommendation and resumed sailing several days ago. The head of the team, Prada mogul Patrizio Bertelli, called for significantly lower wind limits in a press conference in San Francisco on Friday.
Team New Zealand and Team Oracle are expected back on the bay as soon as tomorrow if unusually windy conditions die down.
Emirates Team New Zealand managing director Grant Dalton said the team supports the review committee's recommendations in principle. "They are prudent and reasonable," he said.
"The committee has done some remarkable work in only six days. The details still have to be worked on but we see nothing that will adversely affect the event."
Ehman noted that the recommendations could have "competitive influences" on the teams as they prepare for the 162-year-old competition. Those will have to be smoothed out.
"This is version 1.0," he said of the review committee's work. "This laundry list of recommendations will continue to be expanded and refined."
He said the teams were learning about the high-tech AC72s each time they sailed and that some adjustments had already been in the works following the capsizing of Team Oracle's boat during a windy training run last October.
"Bottom line," he said, "it will make a safer regatta this summer."

Large Music releases Wax Weapons 2
Large Music continues its historic return to vinyl with a new edition of the Wax Weapons Series. Four unique cuts here all curated from the label's current roster of up-front & youthful producers. Austrian duo Jakobin & Domino get things started with the supremely groovy underground jam entitled Suki, followed by the sublime disco tinged blast from Chris Stussy called Heat. Side B goes even deeper with the talented duo Studioheist and Bristol-based artist Jordan O'Regan bringing forth two classic Large-style cuts. Essential!
Artist Focus | Studioheist
Fresh off a whirlwind gig in Croatia for the Defected Party and hot on the heels of their chart topping release entitled All My Love – Studioheist is on the verge of a huge breakout. We sat down with the boys and got their take on a few current topics:
Studioheist reviewed on Indie Shuffle
Why do we like this?
Another tasteful addition by the guys of Studioheist.
Smooth and sensual as ever, "All My Love" gets busy putting your emotions in the right spot. It depicts the kind of love that is meaningful and long lasting, the kind one doesn't need to think about. It's love that fuels the soul, moves one forward; it's a love that allows the work to get done without compromising the emotions.

By Lou SanseveroFerron
While I still hold Governor Herbert in the highest regard and have the deepest respect for him personally, on March 15, the Governor, running counter to the common sense attitude that had heretofore been his trademark and which originally earned my respect. He was convinced by a consortium of well meaning, though short-sighted, religious leader, self-serving politicians seeking to pander to prospective future Hispanic voters, and greedy employers seeking a continued source of cheap "economic slave" labor to sign a bad bill, HB 116 (The Guest Worker Program Act. I call it "The Illegal Alien Amnesty and Sanctuary Act"). It is a bad law and in doing so opened himself to criticism and rebuke by me personally and, I believe, by a great majority of the people of Utah.
Make no mistake, this new law offers amnesty and guest worker visas to "qualifying" illegal aliens who establish residency in the state by May 10 making Utah a magnet for illegal aliens and America's first "sanctuary state".
The rationale expressed to me was that (1) since Arizona took its stand and passed its illegal immigration bill it has not booked even one convention at a loss of revenue of about $21 million, what wasn't mentioned to me was that entitlements for illegal aliens cost the Utah taxpayer $453 million annually. I don't know about you but I would gladly trade a loss of $21 million in convention revenues for $453 million in savings from the elimination of entitlements to illegals.
This bad law not only violates both the United States Constitution and United States immigration laws but also sets a dangerous precedent which undermines the rule of law in Utah and which repudiates the state Republican Party platform.
This law violates Article 1 Sections 8 and 10 of the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution clearly intended for immigration to be the purview of the Federal government. If we are to lay claim to being a nation of laws then we have to honor our foundational laws (the Constitution) not just the ones we like otherwise we are no better than the left-wing, liberal and cynical regime currently occupying the White House.
Various sections of Title 8 Chapter 12 of the U.S. Code (http://openjurist.org/title-8/us-code/chapter-12/immigration-and-nationality) codifies United State Immigration Laws which HB 116 violates and various sections of Title 18 of the U.S. Code (http://law.onecle.com/uscode/18/index.html) codifies various criminal acts against the United States which HB 116 causes to be committed.
The state Republican Party platform states in its Preamble " . . . We support the 'Rule of Law' and believe in upholding the law of the land," and under the heading of Immigration "We oppose illegal immigration and all forms of amnesty, or legal status, for illegal immigrants. We oppose any temporary or 'guest' worker program that would offer an automatic path to citizenship. We believe that current laws against employing illegal immigrants should be vigorously enforced, particularly to stem the now too common crime of identity theft in obtaining employment," both of which planks the Governor and those Republican State Legislators who voted in favor of this bill abandoned.
Bills such as HB 116, which the governor signed, do nothing to respond to the real immigration issues that are facing our nation (1) the 12 to 20 million criminal aliens who have invaded the United States and (2) a regime in the White House which eagerly embraces a "one world", "open borders" philosophy and which refuses to honor its Constitutional responsibility to defend the sovereignty and borders of the United States, and the member states, against invasion.
In this instance, against invasion by aliens from a nation whose President has declared "Mexico does not stop at its borders" and ". . . Mexico is anywhere that Mexicans are."
Until these two issue have been fully responded to and our national and state borders made secure we should not be discussing (at the local, state, nor national level) anything else where immigration is concerned except enforcement, preferably by the federal government but, if necessary, by local and state law enforcement.
By signing HB 116 Governor Herbert has made the state of Utah, its legislature, its people, and himself accomplices in, or at least aiders and abettors to, the commission of crimes against federal law specifically Section 277 [8 U.S.C. 1327] "It is unlawful for anyone to aid or assist aliens to enter the United States. Penalty: fined under title 18, United States Code, . . . " and Sec. 274A. [8 U.S.C. 1324a] "It is unlawful for a person or other entity to employ or recruit or refer for a fee an illegal alien in the United States."
An interesting note to consider about the HB 116 is that various groups normally opposed to each other and with dispirit agendas where illegal alien issues are involved; the ACLU, the United Front For Social Justice and UFIRE, and the Utah Minuteman Project commented during committee hearings that this was a bad bill for various reasons. This was a rare time of agreement that the news media refused to acknowledge and the Governor chose to ignore. The public comments of these groups and others are a matter of public record.
For all the above reasons I implore everyone of us to contact Governor Herbert and ask him to call the state legislature back into emergency session for the purpose of repealing this onerous, unconstitutional, and illegal law.

How to Make UAVs Fully Autonomous
The sense-and-avoid system uses a four-megapixel camera on a pan tilt to detect obstacles from the ground. It puts red boxes around planes and birds, and blue boxes around movement that it determines is not an obstacle (e.g., dust on the lens). The green box shows the actual position of the Piper Archer II airplane being tracked from two to five miles away. Such a visual system will be useful to UAVs trying to avoid obstacles.
