A Fixed Star in our Constitutional Constellation
Gerard N. Magliocca
If I had to choose one Supreme Court opinion to read, it would be West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette. I suspect that many of you share my view. A question that I have been pondering in recent months is why this case is so special.
Frankfurter's dissent might be eloquent or something, but honestly, how many really think that was really a hard case? Epic battles there need harder cases. I realize a case can be made for the law, but really, it's pretty weak to force kids to pledge allegiance by this particular ceremony, especially given the violence known to have been inflicted on those who did not.
And, when three of the justices actually took the time to think about the matter, they quickly changed their minds. The other changes came by retirement, Jackson himself replacing one of the original majority votes.
The Court, of course, decided many things previously that we now think pretty stupid. But, here, it wasn't much of a "duel" even at the time. Frankfurter alone provided the heat, two others simply noted that they "adhere to the views expressed" in the earlier case.
There were epic 'duels' by those justices, but this wasn't much of one. Anyway, the concurring opinions are pretty interesting too.
joe, I'm betting part of Professor Magliocca's point is that the reason why this seems like an 'easy case' to us today is because we look back down the long path that this case set constitutional jurisprudence rolling down.
Heck, I'm not even sure it's that easy of a case from today's standpoint (children have less rights, schools can be more restrictive than other government agencies, and at that time fascism/communism was even more scary than, say, drugs [which have been invoked in modern times to restrict children's rights]).
I realize it is easier now in hindsight, platform for the future and all that but heck it was not as hard as other cases (like the Japanese Internment Cases or something) even then. The lower court predicted the vote even with the earlier precedent, three justices already on record saying they changed their mind, one dissenting originally & at least one of the newbies likely to vote for the kids.
Jackson's prose is so splendid that I have quoted it innumerable times in my correspondance. However it must be noted that the eloquence fell silent when he was later part of the majority that upheld the Smith Act proscription of Communism and that was indeed a case of petty officials decreeing what was orthodox and what was forbidden.Post a Comment

Test Reviews
Optics REVIEW: The MINOX ZP8 Meets 3 Gun Competition
Christian Swann reviews the MINOX ZP8 for optics use in 3 gun competition.
MINOX USA introduced the ZP8 at 2015s Shot Show as their newest tactical line of optics. MINOX is a very old and storied German optic maker and has recently acquired Optronika, the German company that engineered the 3-15×50 Scout Sniper Day Scope for the US Marine Corps. The new MINOX ZP8 1-8x24mm is the finished development of an Optronika design. I do believe you will start seeing this brand enter the US Market soon as the go-to optic for 3 Gun competition.
Die MINOX BL 8x33 HD - Best Safari & Travel Binocular 2015
Back in 2010, I tested and wrote a review on the previous version of the MINOX BL 8x33 binoculars. As you can see from it, my reviews have come along way since then, but even so with the scores they achieved, it is obvious that really I liked them. Indeed they went on to win the award as the best safari & travel bin later on in the same year.
To this day, those MINOX binoculars still remain one of my favorite mid-sized bins and that is why when I discovered that they had updated their BL range to include HD glass in their lenses, I just had to get my hands on the 8x33 version. I really wanted to see if they were as good in all the areas as the older version, but also if the HD lenses had perhaps even improved on them optically.
The MINOX DTC 400 Slim tested in the Texas Sporting Journal July / August 2015
MINOX DTC 400 SLIM - Wildlife Camera Sets New Standards for Concealment
With the new MINOX DTC 400 SLIM Wildlife Camera, no more having to mess with trail cams the size and weight of a car battery.
At only about one inch thick, the DTC 400 SLIM slides nicely into my daypack and loaded with six AA batteries weighs about the same as a Kindle. If you've had wanderers on your property, you'll appreciate how inconspicuous this unit is once mounted. It is slightly curved so it fits every tree trunk neatly and snugly. Combined with its camouflage housing, the result is the unobtrusive presence you want and need in an effective trail camera.
Shooting Illustrated Tests the MINOX ZP8 1-8x24
MINOX is probably best known for its micro camerastiny devices that look like something James Bond would have stowed in his tuxedo. The German company has been around for the better part of a century manufacturing quality glass, and it has, at long last, entered the tactical riflescope realm with a complete line of scopes. The most interesting to me is the ZP8 1-8x24 mm.
Beyond its 8X magnification range, MINOX put an innovative reticle into the ZP8. Called the MR10, it combines an illuminated, mil-based reticle in the first focal plane with a red dot at the center of the crosshair in the second focal plane. Using the companys Complete Combat Reticle (CCR) technology, the red dot comes on when the magnification ring is turned slightly to roughly 1.1X and stays on until the power is increased beyond 2.5X, at which point illumination switches to the first-focal-plane reticle. This allows for easy target acquisition and engagement at close range using the red dot at low magnification, and seamless transition to more distant targets using the reticle, all by simply turning the magnification ring.
Optic Review: MINOX ZP8 1-8x24mm Tactical Scope
Released at the SHOT Show 2015, MINOX USA introduced their new tactical line of optics and among those is the new ZP8 1-8x24mm model. For those that have never heard of the brand, MINOX is a very old German optic maker and it has recently acquired Optronica, the German manufacturer of the 3-15x56mm sniper scope for the US Marine Corps. The new MINOX ZP8 1-8x24mm is the finished development of an Optronica design.
The new MINOX ZP8 is a direct challenger to the two other premium 1-8x tactical scopes on the market: the Leupold Mark 8 1.1-8x24mm and the Schmidt & Bender Short-Dot 1-8x24mm. Size and weight wise, all three are practically the same at around 12-in long and 24 ounces.

Posted on 05/31/2009 11:38:34 AM PDT by Clintonfatigued
Late-term abortion doctor George Tiller, a prominent advocate for abortion rights wounded by a protester more than a decade ago, was shot and killed Sunday at his church in Wichita, a city official said.
A City Hall official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak about the case told The Associated Press that the 67-year-old doctor was killed Sunday morning at Reformation Lutheran Church.
Police spokesman Gordon Bassham would not confirm the victim's identity pending notification of relatives. He said the shooting occurred at 10:03 a.m. and the gunman fled the scene in a 1993 powder blue Ford Taurus registered in another part of the state.
Bassham said no suspects were in custody. He said it is not clear whether one or more suspects were involved. Capt. Brent Allred said police were looking for a gunman who fled in a 1993 light blue Ford Taurus registered in Merriam.
Anti-abortion group Operation Rescue issued a statement denouncing the shooting.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
The idea that a late-term abortion doctor goes to church just boggles my mind.
This is horrible. Not only was a life murdered in a house of worship, but the entire pro-life movement will be smeared by the radical feminists and news media.
Murder is bad so I would have preferred that the guy crushing living fetuses brains for a living not get killed but overall I feel as sad today as I was when Saddam Hussein was hanged which on a scale of 1-10 is about a -0.5
1. More gun control laws;
2. More "hate crime" legislation. Soon it will be a felony to think an abortionist is a murderer.
"This is horrible. Not only was a life murdered in a house of worship, but the entire pro-life movement will be smeared by the radical feminists and news media."
Isn't it amazing when one right wing nut does something horrible, we are ALL horrible, but when a majority of some of our 'minorities' create havoc day after day (most not reported), they are just 'victims'?
A murderer is murdered....at his church no less. If the "dr" had been routinely murdering adults he wouldn't get any sympathy.
The fallout will be so ugly.
".......but the entire pro-life movement will be smeared by radical feminists and news media."
As opposed to what other day of the week?
Seriously, why do you still care about what they say? The day our side stops caring about what the leftists say, and starts boldly telling the truth is the day things begin to turn around. You can walk on eggshells, worried about what the left might say. I couldn't care less.
How the HELL do you KNOW who killed him?? It could be a jealous husband or a HITMAN from the left to GET THE ISSUE to THEIR SIDE! Geesh.....get a grip.
Pro-Death Radical feminists and the pathetic news media smear the pro-life supporters, conservatives, republicans and any other Patriotic American every day as it is.
My initial response to this was that Obama would use it as an excuse to open the floodgates for abortion, like the Nazis used the death of Horst Wessel.
But then I was reminded of the moral of an Aesop fable: "The tyrant needs no excuse." Which in retrospect, should have had the axiom, "But will use any excuse they can get."
I feel terrible for the babies he sucked their little brains out.
Tiller?...like a mob boss. Some people just got it coming.
Now, the long and short of this awful turn of events is this: if abortion were not legal, the good doctor would probably be prescribing antibiotics to old ladys and golfing 3 days a week.
'The idea that a late-term abortion doctor goes to church just boggles my mind.'
To be honest that was my first thought...
May Jesus forgive me for not being able to feel that this was a terrible crime.
Thats what I was thinking. It could have just been a turf war among the churches.
Based on this event it would be the christins who are the radical terrorists
Hmmm I don't see endless articles bemoaning the first of your indefensible acts on the MSM, why the endless articles bemoaning the second?
Come on people. There is no excuse for this kind of vigilante violence. And it does NOT help the pro-life cause in the slightest.
I find it interesting that such a high profile 'victim' has such a low profile killer. Do they not really know who it was or is the identity not suitable for MSM distribution yet. Sometimes it takes a while to cut and paste the right story.
This is an ELCA church. What a surprise. They find no fault in homosexuals, either.
I agree. The fringe people who do vigilante justice undercut the sane, logical, and wise people who are fighting for the unborn. Anyone who wants the right to life to be protected by law is not helped by this taking of life by illegal means.
On the other hand, the silver lining here is that it will probably cut the number of late-term abortions. I read recently that there are only a small handful of late-term abortionists in the entire country. I have to think this will have a chilling effect on anyone who wants to step into Tiller's business.
..or a debt collector. Who knows.
"How the HELL do you KNOW who killed him?? It could be a jealous husband or a HITMAN from the left to GET THE ISSUE to THEIR SIDE! Geesh.....get a grip."
What are you reading? I didn't say one thing about who killed this guy or even one thing about this guy.
Get a grip indeed!
This is what I said in response to a ping:This is horrible. Not only was a life murdered in a house of worship, but the entire pro-life movement will be smeared by the radical feminists and news media.
Isnt it amazing when one right wing nut does something horrible, we are ALL horrible, but when a majority of some of our minorities create havoc day after day (most not reported), they are just victims?
And you twisted it to suit your out of control emotions.
Gots my ammo, guns and thoughts and the gubmnt ain't taking none.
Abortion is gastly and wrong.
Then there is what this subhuman did, repeatedly.
Ann Coulter calls them 4th trimester abortions.
Were it possible to elicit Dr. Tiller's opinion on this matter, I have no doubt whatsoever, he would object to the manner of his demise, but stand fast in supporting his slayer's right to choose.
Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged.
No way Ann Archy,
This guy was killed by a white Christian, gun nut, ex military guy who attended a tea party.
He is an extremist nearly identical to ME.
You are correct.
Gen U S Grant once said when a General came running up to him on General Lees movements-"I am whole heartily sick and tired about what Lee is going to do. I suppose he will do a double back flip and land behind us covering both our flanks. I care not what Lee is doing. I say we worry most about what we are going to do."
Clintonfatigued, don't ping me anymore. One can't make a simple statement without the fruitcakes getting their panties in a twist. I have more important things to do than deal with FOOLS! I'm outta here.
Sounds like someone was working as the hand of GOD! We are all just a tool in HIS Hands & to be used as HE sees fit!
The Leftists must be outraged.
On the other hand Leftists have no problem sticking scissors into the back of a fetus' head, shoving a suction catheter into the hole and "decompressing" the fetus' brain before pulling him/her out by the legs with forcepts.
That, ladies and gentlemen,that is how "late term abortions" are performed.
If you don't believe me, Google it.
Tiller performed many late term abortions before someone eventually performed one on him.
You are so, so right.
"...he would object to the manner of his demise, but stand fast in supporting his slayers right to choose."
Excellent point. Tiller made a business out of choosing to kill people who didn't get their "right to life." That murderer had 67 years of life, and in an instant he met God. Now he knows what the real Chief Justice has to say about abortion.
Lutheran reference ping!
This may have been by design for political reasons.. Nothing is too foul for the new regime..
Play with a cobra....get bit........not gonna mourn!
I think Larry Hatteberg, newscaster KAKE, is about to cry. sick jerk Tiller was his hero.
Why would the Pro-Life movement be smeared if he was killed by a JEALOUS HUSBAND! YOU ASSumed he was killed by some right wing nut, and we don't know yet who killed him.
Bulls eye.
Tiller didn't use the brain sucking method. He stabbed babies in the heart with a drug to cause a heart attack before they were born.
They were already doing that yesterday. This won't change that.
I see little difference between those who would murder babies inside a womb, and those who would murder babies outside a womb....
I dont condone murder...but in this case...I can condone the choice of victim.
As someone posted above...."Karma" is a bitch...
Yep. I agree 1000%.
This is horrible for several reasons.

Progress: Basic science and clinical aspects of the research are underway, but more work is needed for the studies to be applied for use by practitioners and/or families.
Remaining Gaps, Needs, and Opportunities: There is a need for finer ways to quantify social behavior and detect change in response to successful treatment. There is a need to move toward performance-based measures and away from the checklist approach.

From its inception, the basic structural tendency of mainline, 20th-century Modernism was a simple one. Whether you take as a starting point Le Corbusier's ultrareductive Maison Domino, or Meyer and Gropius's Fagus-Werk, or the more apparently complex tectonics of Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House, the pattern is the same: a stack of floor plates upheld by vertical supports (preferably of steel), with a disengaged skin (preferably of glass). Especially in taller buildings, the stolid, rectilinear skeleton was in the ascendant for decades.
There were always, of course, departures—formal excursions, breakaway movements, the work of structural genies near the outermost limits of the field. But over the last several years, something new has been under way. The accumulated results of those outsider experiments have coalesced into a structural type that has wedged its way into practice, and that is now having its moment. This is the moment of diagrid.
"I think the one person that really popularized it in the last 20 years or so has been Norman Foster," observes engineer Guy Nordenson, founding principal of Guy Nordenson and Associates. In 2001, Foster, Hon. FAIA, and his firm started work on two high-profile projects, in London and New York, both sporting a unique diamond patina running up their glassy façades—the Swiss Re building at 30 St. Mary Axe, and the Hearst Tower at W. 57th St. and Eighth Avenue. They appear remarkably different in silhouette: the former like a slender torpedo, earning it its nickname, the Gherkin; the latter, a four-square ziggurat, cinching in every several stories. But the same system, expressed in the same pattern of triangular external struts, gave each its beguiling effect, one that seemed to promise a new kind of structural clarity in tall buildings.
Together, they marked the watershed for diagrid. Since 2003, the telltale diamond pattern has graced a host of large-scale projects around the world. A biggest-hits compilation would have to include OMA's Seattle Public Library and CCTV Building in Beijing; Herzog & de Meuron's Prada store in Tokyo; RMJM's Capital Gate in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; and Zaha Hadid's Zaragoza Bridge Pavilion in Spain.
The fundamental operation of diagrid, and its root appeal for architects, is plain enough. Yoram Eilon, vice president of engineering firm WSP Cantor Seinuk, was project manager on Foster's Hearst Tower, and he distills diagrid to its essential physics: "A series of triangles that combine gravity and lateral support into one, making the building stiff, efficient, and lighter than a traditional high-rise." The portmanteau says it all—"diagrid," from "diagonal grid." The crisscrossing steel members, connected at specially jointed nodes, are mutually reinforcing: they create an integral network across a building surface that braces against the floors, the wind, and the members above. With this exoskeleton in place, the designer can cut down on internal supports, saving on space and building materials, allowing naturally broad apertures, and providing greater flexibility for systems installations.
Simple in outline, the morphological potential of diagrid is almost endless. In London, artist Anish Kapoor has been at work on a monumental sculpture, called the ArcelorMittal Orbit, for the city's upcoming Olympic Games, developed in collaboration with Cecil Balmond, the once director of engineering giant Arup. Intended to stand outside the main 2012 stadium, the Orbit is a twisted knot of diagrid masts, curled into a self-supporting roller coaster some 375 feet high.
In Seoul, South Korea, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)'s Lotte Super Tower, a nearly 2,000-foot-tall office building that incorporates three different geometrical masses, begins on the ground floor as a square, rises to a triangle, and culminates at the top as a circle. Says SOM's Mustafa Abadan, FAIA, "Diagrid allowed that to happen, providing an architectural enclosure made of straight planes"—a consistent sleeve that could be pulled over the ensemble, stretching to follow the contours of the building's different forms.
The stretching takes place in diagrid's diamonds, which open and close, widen and flatten, to accommodate the various twists and turns in the overall structure, as well as its shifting loads. That can make for vexing logistics. The new opera house in Guangzhou, China, from Zaha Hadid Architects uses a lattice frame of striking variability, its irregular grid requiring a series of fitted joints that had to be sand-cast, as Hadid, Hon. FAIA, notes, "as in a medieval bell foundry."
The recent profusion of diagrid has seen it appear as everything from an integral structural system for large buildings to a freestanding screen. But in every instance, the identifying trait, the underlying module of diagrid, is the triangle. In that form lies both diagrid's structural strength and its historical origins. "Nature's own system of coordination [is] based on triangles," said visionary engineer and designer R. Buckminster Fuller: provided its joints are strong enough, the triangle does not collapse under pressure applied to any one point, as each side is buttressed by its neighbors. Upon this principle, Fuller built an entire worldview, along with scores of proposals for buildings that elaborated his triangular concept into buildings of all kinds, notably his famous tensegrity and geodesic constructions.
Fuller was foremost among those ingenious tinkerers testing the limits of modern structure, and he stands as the most immediate forefather to the current wave of diagrid buildings. Norman Foster worked with Fuller in the last decade of the engineer's life, and has described him as having "a profound influence on my own work and thinking." Nordenson is another product of Bucky's office, and cites him as a prime source of the diagrid trend, as does Arup's Dominic Munro, structural engineer on the Swiss Re project. Munro's firm has helped shape a number of recent diagrid-type projects, and around the office, he says, "The reference that we usually use is 'back to Fuller.' "
But there are other antecedents, too, as Munro is quick to point out. "What diagrid does is take the structure of a continuous shell, which works in any direction, and pair it with the constructability of the discrete element, the beam-and-stick approach. It's a discrete-ized shell." In a similar key, SOM partner William Baker has cited the work of 19th-century Russian prodigy Vladimir Shukhov, a mathematician and scientist who pioneered lightweight hyperboloids and radical tensile structures. There are still other innovators whose insights into tall-building construction have contributed to the present diagrid craze (Fazlur Khan's X-braced John Hancock Center is a major milestone), but the idea of diagrid as a simplified take on continuous concrete or fabric structures connects its newfound popularity to a distinct tradition: a plastic, expressive strain of Modernism, one that runs through figures such as Felix Candela and Eero Saarinen, and that links up neatly with the heady ambitions of today's international designers.
Certainly, the endless sequence of new and increasingly complex geometries that has emerged from the design profession in the last two decades has been a driving force in the growing popularity of diagrid. As we've moved outside the Modernist box, diagrid has rushed in to keep the roof over our heads. Sometimes literally: Asymptote Architecture's Yas Hotel in Abu Dhabi features a vast diagrid screen that vaults up and over the main body of the hotel. Firm principal Hani Rashid connects the use of diagrid in the project to the formal possibilities unleashed by digital design techniques. "There are these remarkable possibilities to optimize and parametrically control … that we didn't have even five or six years ago," the designer says.
In fact, the opening salvo in contemporary architecture's digital revolution features, if rather discreetly, a diagrid structure. Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, is famed for its computer-molded, curvilinear metal cladding. But lift up the lid, notes Guy Nordenson, and it's "a kind of diagrid, a triangulated surface back from the skin. It's all made up of triangles. It's just not the kind of filigree that people associate with diagrid."
But what "people associate with diagrid" is an essential part of the equation, since it's the forthright presentation of the grid—not the obscuring of it—that seems to have caught on so dramatically with the profession of late. "It's the image of sustainability," opines Craig Schwitter, managing director for design consultant Buro Happold. "It helps form an understanding of what environmentally sensitive buildings could look like." Schwitter's firm has been involved with a series of projects that have included the "mapping" system of diagrid, and he sees it as a kind of advertisement for the material thrift, and the attendant green benefits, of the buildings that deploy it. "That's where a building like Hearst really sings," Schwitter says. "It looks energy efficient and it is."
That's true. On its completion, the Hearst Tower became the first in New York City to merit LEED Gold certification for its exterior and interior fittings. Likewise the Gherkin, whose diagrid was born of Foster's effort to create a sequence of skewed atria to allow for natural ventilation and light wells that could cut down on energy consumption: vertical columnar supports simply wouldn't do the job. Not only that, but, as Dominc Munro of Arup explains, "The Swiss Reinsurance company's business is global risk. They were amongst the first in the world to underwrite the potential risks of climate change." For them, the building had to read "green," and the legibility and openness of diagrid fit the bill exactly.
With all this, and the public accolades that so many diagrid buildings have attracted in the press, the prospective benefits of using the technique (where appropriate) seem to outweigh the obstacles of building in it. Rashid's client initially balked at the notion of putting in place some 5,680 individual diamond shapes, but eventually saw the light, especially after "we got it done in under 14 months," he says. And as the approach diffuses throughout the practice, it filters down to builders and fabricators, so that erection is getting easier and more efficient. Says WSP Cantor Seinuk's Eilon, "If you built … [Hearst] now, you would save a lot more" on construction and material costs.
There is one additional factor, however, that may also account for the surge in diagrid designs over the last 10 years, though it's a great deal harder to quantify. Norman Foster unveiled his initial proposal for his Manhattan tower to his clients on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001; three years later, it became the first large tower to break ground in New York after the attacks. In the initial proposals for the new World Trade Center, one of the most popular submissions—from the collective team of Allied Architects—made extensive use of diagrid, as did an early model for 1 World Trade Center, developed in consultation with Guy Nordenson. Even Foster's Swiss Re is a building inextricably bound to the memory of violence: The former 30 St. Mary Axe was critically damaged in an IRA bombing in 1992.
There is a palpable coincidence between the sudden proliferation of this decidedly eye-catching, assertively articulated structural system, and the advent of our new age of anxiety. It may be only a coincidence, but it is an uncanny one. We live in an era in which the representation of structural strength takes on a deep moral resonance. Even in Asia or the Middle East, diagrid speaks a reassuring language of stability, a message qualified by its real physical economy and resilience. As Buro Happold's Craig Schwitter puts it, "You can't fool mother nature." Diagrid looks like it should work, and it does.

Wasps returned to the top of their Challenge Cup Pool after a couple of late tries saw them defeat Italian side Rovigo 32-11 on Saturday.
Wasps returned to the top of their Amlin Challenge Cup Pool after a couple of late tries saw them beat Rovigo 32-11 in Italy on Saturday.
Bucuresti 13-34 Stade Francais
Cavalieri Prato 10-50 Exeter
Rovigo 11-32 Wasps
Rugby Club La Vila 10-69 Sale
Worcester 55-10 Crociati Parma
Perpignan 27-13 Dragons
Wasps did make hard work of the win that puts them back above Bayonne, with the game very much in the balance with ten minutes remaining.
But scores from Ryan Davis and Richard Haughton saw the Adams Park side get all five points ahead of facing Bordeaux next Sunday. Bayonne will host Rovigo on the same day.
Meanwhile, Exeter demolished Cavalieri Prato 50-10, running in seven tries in an easy win.
Seven tries were scored by the English visitors, with Kevin Barrett, Aly Muldowney, Pat Phibbs and Ignacio Mieres adding to two penalty tries.
In Spain, Sale recorded a comfortable 69-10 success over Rugby Club La Vila as two tries from Tom Brady, Rob Miller, Richie Vernon and one apiece from Joaquin Tuculet, Joe Ward, Will Cliff, Scott Mathie and Jordan Davies saw them set up a winner-take-all clash with Brive.
Pool 1 will also have a decider next week after Stade Francais beat Bucaresti 34-13 at the Arcul de Triumf – wing Djibril Camara scoring two tries in their bonus-point win – and Worcester also picking up a maximum victory after hammering Crociati Parma 55-10.
The Warriors' tries came via Errie Claassens (2), Alex Grove, Andy Goode, Tom Arscott, Josh Drauniniu, Ollie Hayes, Ben Gulliver and Miles Benjamin for their biggest win of the season.
In the day's final fixture, Perpignan recorded a 27-13 victory over the Dragons at Stade Aime Giral, their tries coming from hooker Charles Geli and replacement second-row Robins Tchale Watchou. With Exeter having picked up a maximum earlier on Saturday, USAP are now a point behind the Chiefs with one round left. They meet at Sandy Park next weekend.

By Michael J. OdorizziCanyon Country Calif.
It is amazing that so many voters do not understand what our Congress and President Obama are planning for us voters that elected them. They want to give us another massive bureaucracy to administer our health care. What most voters do not understand is that the so-called health care reform does not apply to Congress or to our President. They have their own health plan that is very lavish, and we voters cannot be part of it, but we must pay for it.
During an ABC-TV special on health care, Obama was asked, "Will you and your family give up your current health care program and join the new program that the rest of us will be on?" Obama ignored the question and refused to answer it. Some Senators were asked the same question and they said, "We will think about it." And they did. They said that Congress will be 100 percent exempt.
So, the new plan is good for us voters, but not good enough for the Obama family and Congress. What fools we must be to have our elected servants have a much better plan than the voters who hired them.

With a sword named Eliminate From Heaven, wouldn't Kenpachi end up refusing to use its power because using it would not visceral, or bloody enough to allow him to "enjoy" the fight?
All this enjoying fights stuff is boring Kepachi should have just Slashed and killed Gremmy already, instead of waiting around and Goading him into enjoying the fight too.

I began my rainy Saturday measuring and combining assorted flours to create a batch of high fiber mix, and another, starchier all-purpose flour from this Celiac book. Instead of committing these expensive, labor-intensive flour mixes to two-crust pies, I used Martha Stewart's Toasted Pecan Dough (as veganized and de-glutenized by kittee) to make a basic apple cinnamon pandowdy. (A pandowdy has only a top crust. It's supposed to look sloppy, so there was none of the usual anxiety or self-loathing regarding edge crimping.)
Since kittee's pandowdy crust turned out so firm and crusty, I followed her lead and used the high fiber mix. It came together in a ball and rolled easily, but sadly, the crust never set; when I tapped on it with a spoon after 40 minutes in the oven, it was still soft as dough. After it cooled, the crust was grainy and disintegrated into crumbs when sliced.
The crust and filling (MacIntosh slices, cinnamon, allspice, sugar, and a bit of gluten-free flour) tasted great, but the final product was more like an apple crisp than pie. Definitely edible, but not fit for company or Thanksgiving.
Next, I followed the recipe again using the high starch white rice flour mix. The crust was lighter, but similarly crumbly and disappointing.
Sunday morning I went in a different direction: blueberry, with a crust out of the aforementioned Celiac book. The author said the key to success with gluten-free crust is extended chilling. After 2 hours in the refrigerator, the dough was too dry to roll out; it came apart in chunks when I applied pressure. Apparently this is typical. Deflated, disappointed, too impatient to chill the dough and try again, I laid the broken crust on top of the filling, Bittman style.
In this pie I used 1 quart blueberries in syrup, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup tapioca starch.
The crust firmed up but did not really brown (that's cinnamon sugar on top). It tasted like regular pie crust. Should I try again, and add more water for increased flexibility?
There are other recipes; should I play around with egg substitutes? Should I give up on the dream of a gluten-free vegan pie crust that looks and tastes and behaves normally? Should I throw in the towel and go the ground nuts/dates/syrup route?
Three crummy pies in two days. Luckily, pie freezes well.

Very nice chapter indeed.
Elder Kwon is a beast.
"I'ma school y'all mofos"....lol
The SUC is toast now. Anyway did Ha Il tell the truth or did he just lie to save Jini and Shioon?

Currently planning war strategies at a tea party with Madara, Kabuto, Zetsu and Sasuke.
First chapter I've enjoyed in a long while, despite its triteness. A glimmer of the wonderful art of bygone days in that shot of Kwon, and it really turned him from stupid prick into at-least-understandable stupid prick. Again, sort of a trite way to do it, canned flashback and all, but it worked well enough. Something tells me this heralds a 180 from him; in his usual way, Shioon's gained the respect of yet another superdupermaster with only his DETERMINATION TO BE A GOOD FRIEND!!!11 but whatever, I'm not exactly shocked at this point.
Summary: Good chapter from a series which is going downhill fast. Seems to be a trend these days...
This manhwa is good and that's all it will ever be. The author hold it back with every turn that could make it a great Manhwa. This last chp is another example of this. Yi-shioon needs to lead but this power drain he is experiencing has become a hindrance to read. Oh well, let's see how far you can go before he calls it quits citing no motivation or whatever...
Thanks God that for Korean ppl dont have a golden week.
I just picked this up about 2days ago and caught up to the current chapter - I like it overall but I do have some problems..
(paragraph form made no sense)
1 - I hate how shioon starts out incredible weak (not just physically) yet has the drive to prove he's worth of training.. (seriously he starts out weaker then Kenichi)
2 - He's naturally weak (I think it was his blood vessels or something) and so he can't run - yet even before any training he is able to push himself 25laps around a track (i'm guessing it was 1/3rd mile per lap - thats like 8 1/4miles and he did it before school had started) THEN everyday he ran to/up/down a MOUNTAIN, while NOT being trained and having a blood vessel problem(i think - i know it was something to do with his stamina).
3 - Obviously theres a Miracle power up .. we know nothing about it.
4 - The female teacher gives him the "Dragon Ball" (at this point they had only known each other for 2weeks or so) knowing theres a 80% death rate.
5 - The main character talks big stuff yet is always saved by someone, or being extremely lucky.
6 - Nine Arts had only been the kids master for less then 3weeks, yet the kid was able to make him stop a fight just by saying so.(referring to the motorcycle guy that looks like a troll)
7 - EVERYTHING started because of his girlfriend (I mean girl who is a friend, I think, theres a misunderstanding with that .. they never kiss or anything yet he tells people she's his girlfriend) yet the dude goes weeks without even talking to her, and we *might* see her once every 10-15chapters.
This could go on, don't get me wrong I did enjoy the series so far however I hate how Shioon barely has to work at all and he's a hauss - yet at the beginning of the series he was going to jump off the roof because he was so weak and had no drive to stand up for himself(unless that dragon ball he ate gave him super self esteem lol).
Cool chapter...cant wait for next week when Shioon goes crazy
Hey, hey, where is the smoke coming from his mouth ;P ?
Must have something to do with this whole "anger" thing. Probably just a manga effect or invisible "ki". I wouldn't think there's actual smoke there.

"Very cute bag. Maybe slightly big, but it is a great option to carry on vacation. I love that the main zipper is under the flap instead of on the end. Makes it easy to access. Love it!"

Loved it but then it broke!
"I loved this bag! I received many compliments on it. However, the strap broke less than two months after I purchased it."

Nice bag
"I did not know how I felt about this bag when it arrived. The flap opens and it has a nice sized space, but if you want it to remain folded you can only fit certain sized things in the pocket or else it stands up. I had to determine what I wanted to fit in the top portion. The color of the "white" stripes on my bag (blue and white striped) seem a bit yellow when seen is certain light. I do like the big main pocket and the overall look of the bag. The strap is nice since it is soft, flexible and adjusts to a good length. Overall this is really a fun and cute bag."

Pool problems at new Johnson City Community Center
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A beautiful community center open since December is attracting people looking for a chance to work out, join a group fitness class or even go for a swim, but the last week there hasn't been any swimming because this crystal clear water was once gray.
"It's something that happened during construction, which is not uncommon, but it's something to do with sealant. It causes this discoloration," says operations manager Amanda Hollifield.
The pool managers decided to fix the problem while the pools were under warranty, so that means closing the pools for a week, draining all three and making the necessary changes.
While repairs are being made managers also decided to do some other, minor fixes, like moving a ladder to make more room for lap swimmers.
When the pools re-open they should be good as new and that's just what aerobics instructor Kim McLeod wants to hear. "It feels good. It's good for every body type. You can drill it really hard or you can take it really hard, but it's excellent for joint issues or arthritis," she said.
We're told the pool is set to reopen Monday, March 4 and many people will be waiting, because we're told this is one of the main attractions at the new community center. "We've been very busy. The pool is a huge attraction for the community to come in and want to use it. It's been probably the biggest attraction in the building," adds Hollifield.
Until the pool here reopens swimmers will continue to use the pool at Freedom Hall.
The Memorial Park Community Center is open to everyone. You don't have to live in Johnson City to take part in the activities. For more information visit www.johnsoncitytn.org/mpcc/

Natural-gas prices are on the rise again Thursday after a look at the country's stockpile proved (once again) smaller than analysts expected.
The gain of 31 billion cubic feet last week was the first rise of 2013, but it was 2 billion short of the figure forecast in a Dow Jones Newswires survey of analysts and traders. The spot gas price is up 3.9% to $4.38 Thursday afternoon.
From DJN's Jerry A. DiColo:
"It's a low number," said Kyle Cooper, an energy analyst at IAF Advisors in Houston. "The market is going to remain very well supported." …
With stockpiles close to average, investors will likely pay close attention to signs of high temperatures over the next several months that could raise electricity demand from gas-fired utilities. In addition, the Gulf of Mexico will also come into focus, as investors watch for hurricanes that could disrupt the region's production.
Analysts at Tradition Energy said in a research report Thursday that unexpected heating demand has "significantly tightened the market's supply outlook," before adding that "warming spring temperatures and restart of idled nuclear power plants in the coming weeks should provide strong resistance to further gains."
Read our earlier coverage on why it suddenly pays to own the United States Natural Fund (UNG), which is ahead by 4.4% Thursday afternoon. United States 12 Month Natural Gas Fund (UNL), tracking a bigger range of futures contracts, is up by 3%. iPath Dow Jones UBS Natural Gas Subindex Total Return ETN (GAZ) is up 4.4%. First Trust ISE Revere Natural Gas Index Fund (FCG), a stock fund, is up 1.8%.
ETRACS Natural Gas Futures Contango ETN (GASZ), which follows the futures-market phenomenon we've discussed on this blog — the one that tends to limit the gains on the UNG fund — is down 1.6% to a fresh 16-month low.

Salmon Tails
Not the familiar Northumberland tune of the same title but a tune from Kerr's Merry Melodies
Kerr calls it 'Salmon Tails Up the Water' (don't let the title or the format of Kerr's collections deter you; there's some great music in those books)
This as it stands is not a pipe tune, but it is so clearly in the pipe idiom that the little adjustments necessary are well worth while.
Another version of what looks like the same tune appears in the Rook manuscript from Cumberland, (N.W England), from the 1830's: Rook's title is simply 'Salmon Tails'
Rook's tune seems to be a bit incoherent in the closing bars of the second strain; you might want to treat the final bar as a second time bar, or omit bar 3, or just play it as written (and leave the dancers to sort it out).
That's what I wrote originally; further thought leads me to suspect that Rook [whose manuscript is sometimes rather erratic] has silently employed a device that appears in 19th century highland collections where bars 3 and 4 of the 2nd strain are marked as '1st time' and '2nd time' respectively; play bars 1,2,3,&5 the first time and bars 1,2,4 & 5 on the repeat.
The intriguing thing about this tune title is that it might just be the one referred to by Robert Chambers when describing his meeting with olf James Ritchie, who had been the town piper of Peebles for sixty years when Chambers met him in 1802:
"I suspect that Ritchie had tunes of his own composition, since lost, for there were three called ' Salmon Tails', 'Lyne's Mill Trows', and 'The Black and the Grey' ... which are not to be seen or heard of now-a-days'.
Given that three salmon appear on the coat of arms of Peebles Town, it seems possible that this tune was once the 'town tune' of Peebles.

Desktop Linux Showdown - Bluetooth on Fedora
Desktop Linux Showdown
OpenSUSEs configuration tools are broken out into perhaps too many separate pieces.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Control Center Search
Theres a search box to help cut through the control panel maze, but it doesnt always deliver. To find font configuration tools, I should have been searching for appearance.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Beagle Desktop Search
OpenSUSE relies on Beagle for desktop search.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Bluetooth via Beagle
I wanted to check out OpenSUSEs Bluetooth functionality, and Beagle led me to the spot.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Bluetooth on Fedora
I was able to transfer files between my Treo and my Fedora 8-based test notebook, but I could not get the two talking via Fedoras new Phone Manager application.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Ubuntu\s Desktop Search
Ubuntu turns to Tracker for its desktop search needs.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Kerry Beagle Front End
OpenSUSEs KDE implementation also leans on Beagle for desktop search. I find the KDE Beagle front end, Kerry, more useful than the GNOME-based version.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Evolution Backup and Restore
GNOME 2.20, shown here on Fedora 8, comes with a very useful backup and restore feature for Evolution. Ubuntu 7.10 also includes this option, but the version of Evolution that comes with OpenSUSE, strangely, does not.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Online Desktop Demo
Fedora 8 offers an early look at Red Hats Online Desktop initiative. At this point, the software amounts to little more than a handful of links to online services.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Online Desktop in Action
Fedora 8s online desktop demo connected me, through Firefox, to a set of online services.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Tomboy Tasks
As implemented in OpenSUSE, the Tomboy note-taking tool (which is one of my favorite applications) offers an integrated task list option that Ubuntu and Fedoras Tomboy implementations lack.
Desktop Linux Showdown - OpenOffice.org 2.3
Ubuntu 7.10 (shown here), OpenSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8 all ship with the OpenOffice.org 2.3 office productivity suite.
Desktop Linux Showdown - OOXML Support
The version of OpenOffice.org that ships with OpenSUSE supports Microsofts OOXML format. Ubuntu also offers this support, while Fedora does not.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Restricted Software Repository
Ubuntu 7.10 made it easy to enable ATIs proprietary graphics adapter driver-once I enabled the 'restricted' software repository.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Driver Installation
OpenSUSEs driver installation utility looked promising, but it didnt manage to enable my test systems ATI driver.
Desktop Linux Showdown - KDE Start Menu
OpenSUSEs KDE implementation is very slick. The OpenSUSE 10.3 KDE Start Menu, for instance, definitely outshines that of its GNOME cousin.
Desktop Linux Showdown - More KDE Start Menu
OpenSUSEs KDE Start Menu returns search results as you type.
Desktop Linux Showdown - My OpenSUSE Computer
OpenSUSEs KDE implementation sports a rather handy system state overview page.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Kubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu boasts a KDE implementation of its own.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Delta RPM
OpenSUSE features bandwidth-saving delta RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) update support. Neither Fedora nor Ubuntu offers this capability.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Debconf
Ubuntus package configuration application, Debconf, is a big competitive advantage for the distribution.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Zypper
The new OpenSUSE 10.3 command-line software management tool, Zypper, presents information effectively.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Resolve Dependency Problems
OpenSUSEs software tools offer very granular options for resolving package dependency problems.
Desktop Linux Showdown - More Dependency Resolution
OpenSUSEs software dependency-resolving tools work from the command line, as well.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Are You Sure You Want to Remove That?
Fedoras software management tools warned me about removing an old kernel version from my test system.
Desktop Linux Showdown - One-Click Installation
OpenSUSE now sports a One-Click installation option. Let the Amazon patent lawsuits ensue ...
Desktop Linux Showdown - More One-Click
The One-Click installer pulls down dependencies from the needed repositories and provides the option of keeping those repositories configured or discarding them.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Codec Buddy to the Rescue
Fedoras new Codec Buddy application swung into action to keep me on the codec licensing straight and narrow, offering either to hook me up with a codec vendor or to steer me toward free formats.
Desktop Linux Showdown - More Codec Buddy
Codec Buddy directed me to a pair of codec options from Fluendo.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Ubuntu\s Codec Buddy
As with Fedora 8, Ubuntu 7.10 suggests codec options. In this case, however, Ubuntu came up empty where Fedora had offered a solution.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Configuring Repositories
OpenSUSE boasts an impressive community of software packagers.
Desktop Linux Showdown - ATI Driver Repository
ATI hosts OpenSUSE repositories for the vendors graphics adapter drivers.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Package Manager Gridlock
Most of OpenSUSEs configuration utilities are capable of installing additional packages, if thats whats required to carry out a configuration. The downside of this is that these various tools, when run together, lock each other out of the software mana
Desktop Linux Showdown - IcedTea Java Implementation
Ubuntu and Fedora both offered me the option of installing a Sun OpenJDK (Java Development Kit)-fortified GCJ (GNU Compiler for Java) plug-in for my Java needs, but after having trouble with certain applets, I switched back to Suns non-free JRE (Java Run
Desktop Linux Showdown - Gnash Player
Ubuntu 7.10 also offered me an open-source alternative to Adobes Flash player.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Package Updater
Fedora's software management tools appear a bit faster in Version 8, but have otherwise changed little since Version 7.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Ubuntu\s Commercial Cupboard Is Bare
Ubuntus Add/Remove software management application makes way for proprietary applications, but Opera and VMware Player are looking lonely in there.
Desktop Linux Showdown - Upgrade in Place
It was easy to upgrade Ubuntu 7.04 to the current 7.10 version. The earlier versions update manager advised me of the new release.

Vallen Brewer and Emilee Ronbeck had two hits each as well with each one having a double. Alexandra Ekonomakis also doubled for SCC.

the 5th and Shoreline going to top for good in the bottom of
the 5th, 8-6. Skagit cut the lead to 8-7 in the top of 6th, but SCC scored 2 more in the bottom of 6th to secure the 10-7 win.
Alia Kelly picked up the win for SCC on the mound with Kelsie Mason getting the save, as she pitched the last two innings (after Kelly gave up a run in the 6th) and Mason did not allow a run.
Greta Coleman led the SCC offense with 3 hits, including her 7th homerun of the year and a double. Nicole Reyling, Alia Kelley, Emilee Ronbeck, Kelsie Mason and Alexandra Ekonomakis all had two hits with Reyling adding a homerun and a double with 3 RBIs and Mason & Ekonomakis adding a double each.

Declaration of Independence Paper
From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
A number of sites on the Internet claim that the Declaration of Independence was written on paper made from hemp. As far as we know, this is not true.
The finished document signed by the delegates to the Continental Congress was engrossed on parchment, which is actually made from animal skin. Jefferson's original Rough Draft of the Declaration is now in the Jefferson Papers collection at the Library of Congress. According to the Library of Congress, analysis by paper conservators has determined that the paper is mostly likely Dutch in origin. While hemp was commonly used to make paper in Southern Europe during this time, the Dutch were much more likely to use flax or linen rags.

Lots of Americans said yes we are ready for something other than a White president...were they right?
Conversely, lots of Americans will never accept any color in the White House...are they right?
If Black worked out well, why not an Asian, or Hispanic, or Muslim?
Has the USA turned the racial corner in politics allowing White to become passe?
It's obvious a majority of us still have our heads shoved up our religious bias and demand 'In Gawd We Trust' to remain pervasive in our government. Are we ready for a Mormon president? A Buddha? An Islam? A Scientologist?
Did having a Black president really make any difference at all? Is there anything today that is better or worse solely due to having a Black president?
Surely we can comment on this issue without being too immature...

A calf injury has ended Robbie Gould's season with the Bears.
On Tuesday, the Bears signed 16-year veteran Olindo Mare to replace Gould, who strained his left calf during pregame warmups against the Minnesota Vikings. Gould connected on two extra points Sunday but remained on the sidelines as punter Adam Podlesh handled kickoff duties.
Mare, 37, last played in 2011 for the Carolina Panthers. He has made 350 of 431 career field-goal attempts for an 81.2 percent accuracy rate.
The Bears also placed two special-teams contributors on injured reserve: Craig Steltz (chest) and Sherrick McManis (knee). Both players also were injured Sunday against the Vikings.
To replace Steltz and McManis, the Bears promoted wide receiver Joe Anderson from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and signed linebacker Jerry Franklin to the 53-man roster. The Bears also signed guard Chris Riley to the practice squad and released veteran offensive lineman Andre Gurode, who signed with the team late last month.
The Bears will return to practice Wednesday at Halas Hall.
