UNSEALED: The US Sought Permission To Change The Historical Record Of A Public Court Proceeding
A few weeks ago we fought a battle for transparency in our flagship NSA spying case, Jewel v. NSA. But, ironically, we weren't able to tell you anything about it until now.
On June 6, the court held a long hearing in Jewel in a crowded, open courtroom, widely covered by the press. We were even on the local TV news on two stations. At the end, the Judge ordered both sides to request a transcript since he ordered us to do additional briefing. But when it was over, the government secretly, and surprisingly sought permission to "remove" classified information from the transcript, and even indicated that it wanted to do so secretly, so the public could never even know that they had done so.
We rightly considered this an outrageous request and vigorously opposed it. The public has a First Amendment right not only to attend the hearing but to have an accurate transcript of it. Moreover, the federal law governing court reporting requires that "each session of the court" be "recorded verbatim" and that the transcript be certified by the court reporter as "a correct statement of the testimony taken and the proceedings had." 28 U.S.C. § 753(b).
The Court allowed the government a first look at the transcript and indicated that it was going to hold the government to a very high standard and would not allow the government to manufacture a misleading transcript by hiding the fact of any redactions. Ultimately, the government said that it had *not* revealed classified information at the hearing and removed its request. But the incident speaks volumes about the dangers of allowing the government free rein to claim secrecy in court proceedings and otherwise.
We couldn't tell you anything about that fight because the government's request, our opposition to it, and the court's order regarding it were all sealed. But with today's order by Judge White, the transcript and the arguments over the government's request to revise it are finally public documents.
Here's how the events transpired:
On June 6, 2014, Judge White held a hearing in Jewel and Shubert v. Obama on our emergency motion to enforce the court's previous order that the government preserve evidence of its Internet backbone surveillance, evidence that is directly relevant to the plaintiffs' claims in Jewel that their Internet communications were collected by the government. Although the government's lawyers participated by telephone, the hearing was held in a crowded, open courtroom including TV and written press. The government never requested that the courtroom be closed or that attendance be limited in any way.
One week later, the government wrote a letter to Judge White, submitting it ex parte (which means we didn't get a copy), requesting that it be given the chance to review the written transcript of that hearing before the transcript was provided either to plaintiffs or the public. The government explained that Anthony Coppolino, the lawyer who argued for the government on June 6, "inadvertently made a statement during the hearing that we believe is classified." The government further explained that "The National Security Agency has asked us to contact the Court to explore ways to determine whether the transcript in fact reveals classified information and, if it does, to attempt to remove it from the public record of the hearing." The government further asked that neither the plaintiffs, their lawyers nor the public be told of its request.
Judge White correctly decided that there was no reason that plaintiffs' lawyers should not know the government's request. Thus, the day after receiving the government's letter, Judge White issued an order, still under seal but sent to us, alerting us to the government's request and giving us the opportunity to respond to it.
We filed our response on June 20, explaining that the US Supreme Court had repeatedly rejected attempts to prohibit or punish the publication of confidential material when that material was inadvertently disclosed to the public. We asked Judge White to reject the government's request in full arguing that the government could not meet the strong First Amendment test to prove that its revisions to the transcript were "essential to preserve higher values and narrowly tailored to serve that interest." We also argued that under no circumstances should the government be able to "remove" anything from the transcript without indicating that something has in fact been removed, a process commonly called "redaction," not "removal," the term used in the government's request. We also asked the court to unseal all of the papers that had been filed about this dispute.
After receiving our response, Judge White asked the government to reply, which they did on June 30, trying to create a new rule that would allow such outrageous claims when the government accidentally revealed classified information in a public courtroom.
On July 11, Judge White ordered that the transcript be given to the government, and gave the government two-and-a-half weeks to inform it whether there was any classified information in the transcript. If the government believed that the transcript contained classified information, it was required to present to the court "the information that they content was classified and inadvertently disclosed, supported by declarations indicating that the information disclosed had been previously classified and is currently classified." The court would then perform its own review and determine whether or not to redact anything from the transcript. Judge White further ruled that while this process was going on, these papers would remain sealed.
On July 28, the government informed the court that after reviewing the transcript it determined that there was no inadvertent disclosure of classified information after all.
As a result, Judge White today granted our motion to unseal and as this is being written the various papers are being unsealed. The disputed transcript has already been posted. We will continue to post and index the other documents on our Jewel page as they are unsealed.
The transcript of a court proceeding is the historical record of that event, what will exist and inform the public long after the persons involved are gone. The government's attempt to change this history was unprecedented. We could find no example of where a court had granted such a remedy or even where such a request had been made. This was another example of the government's attempt to shroud in secrecy both its own actions, as well as the challenges to those actions.
We are pleased that the record of this attempt is now public. But should the situation recur, we will fight it as hard as we did this time.

Some of my critics have amused their readers with the wildness of the schemes I have occasionally thrown out; and I myself have sometimes smiled along with them. Perhaps it were wiser for present reputation to offer nothing but profoundly meditated plans, but I do not think knowledge will be most advanced by that course; such sparks may kindle the energies of other minds more favorably circumstanced for pursuing the enquiries.
I fear the people madly attempting to stop by their feeble arms the momentum of our enormous train.

He looks tiny in that picture
quote:We all do, but that doesn't they should all get scholarships before they set foot on campus.
I like ST superstars
The guy can play. I think he is more suited to be a DB instead of a WR, but that's just me. Now, with that being said, I'm not sure he is LSU material. He would have been a star at say ULL or ULM or something, but this is big boy football.
Bigger LULZ
Yeah I'm not really sure which of the posts I quoted was dumber
I'm sure rivals just never got around to ranking a 4 star talent or "damn that Laird kid is amazing, but he has a girlfriend he's Facebook official with, so I'm not going to waste my time offering."
I see both points of view. However, since he has decided to walk on it really does not matter. The young man has proved he can play. I give him props for believing in himself. He must really want to be a tiger and that is good enough for me---wish him nothing but good fortune. We are fortunate to have guys like this come to LSU.
Case in point: Rivals doesn't "offer" kids, schools do. How dumb a statement is that? Pretty dumb.
Point 2: Every year unrated kids are drafted ahead of some so-called 5-star players. Being unrated says nothing certain about if they will perform well or not. This elitist attitude is proven false every year. Recruiting services are not absolute determiners of anything. To act as if they are is dumb.

I've been constantly checking my twitter feed lately. #RohingyaNOW Why? Because it's almost the only place I can find news about what appears to be a straight-up genocidal attempt by some Burmese fascists. I'm not using that word metaphorically or rhetorically; I believe they qualify as fascists under most standard definitions of the word. These people are attempting to provoke a mass movement to expel or murder all non-Burmese and non-Buddhists from the country. Facing its own long-running Muslim minority problems in the South, Buddhist Thailand is doing its bit, too. Long the cooperative beneficiary of human trafficking from Burma into Thailand, security forces from both Thailand and Burma have attacked boats full of Muslim refugees fleeing the violence, sometimes drowning all those on board, other times pushing them away from Thailand's coastlines, refusing them the obligatory offerings to refugees under International Law.
I do not have time at the moment for an extensive commentary on these issues, but want to add my voice to those who are pleading with the media, the United Nations, and others, to increase coverage, stand up for the victims of communal violence, and begin a process of restoration for victims of genocidal violence. A few points:
1. These are indeed "Burmese Buddhist Fascists." They are opposed, apparently, first to the Rohingya, an ethnic minority and Muslim group largely in Western Burma. The fascists consider them illegal immigrants, though they have been in the area for many generations. They are not opposed to the Rohingya solely for reasons of ethnic difference, either: they are explicitly opposed to Muslims in general. Moreover, much of the most vocal leadership, and according to pictures from the most recent riots and murders, much of the on-the-ground leadership, is by Buddhist monks. Here's Buddhist monk Wirathu, founder of the newly-formed Buddhist Fascist group "969", sermonizing against Muslims and encouraging a financial boycott of Muslim enterprises, while stoking fears of a Muslim takeover of Burma. It's chilling:
Additionally, while the violence against Burma's Rohingya and Muslims existed prior to the recent steps toward democratization indicated by the new participation of Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD in politics (so lambasted in the monk's speech, above), it seems to have worsened significantly since then. I do not have enough knowledge of the situation first-hand to confirm this, and am basing my perception here on discussions I had with various people who study Burma (both Burmese and non-Burmese) recently. If correct, it would be interesting to read Burma's current case against the recent work of sociologist Michael Mann, Democracy's Dark Side: Explaining Ethnic Cleansing. In that book, Mann (whose companion volume on Fascists is also compelling) argues that sudden democratization, mediated by a number of other necessary preconditions, can actually drive ethnic cleansing. I don't necessarily endorse his views in either book, though I have found much of them compelling and very "good to think with."
Regardless, Aung San Suu Kyi has been almost completely silent about the multi-year attack on Burmese Muslims. Some reports point out the great overlap between the primary sources of her political support (Buddhist monks) and the primary sources of these anti-Muslim fascists (Buddhist monks), such as this article, headlined, Myanmar: Aung San Suu Kyi's "Saffron Monks" Stalk Streets With Machetes – Mass Slaughtering Refugees.
2. This is a political conflict about ethnicity and religion, not a religious conflict that has become political. This is a key distinction. When it is presented as 'ethnic violence,' or 'communal violence,' in the international media, or by UN officers, we imagine different lines than may actually exist. Watch the following video, which covers the aftermath of the anti-Muslim pogrom that took place in Meiktila on March 22. You'll see two Burmese Buddhist laypeople interviewed. Continue reading

Catching a pass while you are wide open due to the other team blowing coverage doesnt make you the next Larry Fitzgerald. Yet, according to Crazy, we should consider Marlon Moore a playmaker with game breaking abilities.
We are winning games due to superior coaching, solid defense, and exceptional performances from our rookie quarterback. Thats my opinion at least. Crazy's opinion is: we are winning games because we are freaking awesome and we are flooded with talent and oh yeah our kicker is the next coming of Jesus and when we do lose its a fluke because look at the past 15 games but ignore the 0-7 start last season and let me dig up some stats that will "prove" my point like how Hartline's yards per catch is 3 yards more when the planets align perfectly.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi's two largest universities announced on Tuesday they will collaborate on a program designed to attract the state's top students into the teaching profession.
Leaders from Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi have been working together for about two years to develop the Mississippi Excellence in Teaching Program. It will create the equivalent of an honors college for education majors at each university and will provide participants with full scholarships that include the cost of room and board, books, supplies, technology and travel opportunities.
The program will be funded for five years by a $12.9 million gift from the Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation in Jackson.
"Both institutions recognized we need to have a better system of education for Mississippi from K-12 through the university system," said Mississippi State University President Mark Keenum. "One thing we knew we could do working together was to highlight the importance of teaching as a profession and attract some of our best and brightest students in Mississippi to choose teaching as a profession."
Participants must be selected into the honors college at each university. The program will begin this fall, and both universities hope to recruit 20 students at each campus each year. Participants will make a five-year commitment to teach in Mississippi after graduation.
"We believe this can be a beginning point for people seeing the teaching profession differently in our state," said Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones. "We believe it is important to raise the expectations and raise the prestige for the profession, and giving these full scholarships and establishing these honors programs in our schools of education will be a way to do that."
This collaboration between the rival universities emerged from a task force organized by the CREATE Foundation in 2010 to bring the two schools together to benefit Northeast Mississippi. Jones called this program "the most significant and the most visible thing" that has thus far emerged from that effort. It will also have a statewide impact.
"I think the main thing is that they are working together at high levels at the two universities, and we will see more and more positive results come out of that collaboration," said CREATE Senior Vice President Lewis Whitfield.
The program's initial goal will be to attract high-ability students who want to become math and English teachers and to help meet the needs of the new Common Core standards Mississippi is implementing.
Students in the program will visit top-performing schools across the country and around the world. They also will make visits to each university's campus for various seminars.
Each university will hire additional faculty members and staff for the program.
"We intend to change the perception of teaching as a profession, and we know we can be more successful by combining the expertise available at both universities," said MSU Education Dean Richard Blackbourn.
Added Ole Miss Education Dean David Rock: "I'm as excited as I've ever been… What I think this program will bring to the table is we are creating an honors college for teacher education that is second to none."

Inject come spice into your next barbecue with quick and easy Italian sausage burgers, fresh off the grill. Thick slices of mozzarella and sun-dried tomato mayo make simple, savory finishing touches.
If you can't find sun-dried tomato mayonnaise, mix up your own by combining 1/3 cup mayo with about 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Regular mayonnaise works just fine as well.
To keep food safe while grilling, always separate uncooked foods from cooked foods, and each other, too.
Pair these hearty sandwiches with an Italian-style pasta salad, homemade or from the deli, or maybe a bagged Caesar salad.

5.13: Find Retail Prices Given Wholesale, Markups and Sales Tax
Have you ever had to pay sales tax? Take a look at this dilemma.
After the student council meeting, Cameron's Mom offered to take all of the students out for lunch. They went to their favorite restaurant, "Howie's Burger Place" for a lunch of burgers and fries. From the restaurant menu, each student ordered the burger special which costs $12.95 each but includes a drink, and a dessert. After eating, Cameron looked at the bill. He saw that 5 students ordered the burger special.
The sales tax is 7%. The food server was particularly attentive so Cameron's Mom decided to give her an 18% tip. Cameron began to work through the math in his head. How much was the total bill?
That is an excellent question. This Concept is all about different consumer percents. Pay close attention and you will be able to solve this problem at the end of the Concept.
We've now seen on many occasions how practical percent is in everyday life. In most things you purchase, percent is used in one way or another to calculate a final price, a discount, tax or a tip. Your understanding of this is important in making sure that you get charged the right price and that you tip appropriate amounts as well.
Let's start by looking at wholesale prices and markups.
Most companies are in business to make a profit. Companies generally offer goods or services or both. Stores that sell you products like hairspray, potato chips, and video games, buy those products from the companies that make them. Because they buy so many of the same products, they get special prices called wholesale prices. They figure out how much each piece or unit costs them and then they charge you a certain amount more for each product. The difference is called the gross profit. After they pay all of their other expenses like wages, utility bills, insurance, etc., they hope to have some money left over. This is their profit.
Knowing just how much to charge for each product is sometimes tricky. If a company charges you too much, you may not purchase products from them. Companies have to study the market and their true costs in order to calculate the best price to charge to remain competitive but still make a profit. After studying the market, they decide on a markup—a percent by which they will increase the wholesale price to get the retail price. So the wholesale price is what the companies pay for the product and the retail price is what the company charges for the same product.
The percent increase from the wholesale price to the retail price is the markup.
Take a look at this situation.
Let's suppose a company sells toothpaste. They buy the toothpaste for $1.10 per tube; this is the wholesale price. Remember, they may buy a case of 200 tubes all at once. In order to make a profit, they mark the price up by 65%; this is their markup. So in order to calculate the retail price, they increase the wholesale price by 65%.
Let's figure out the retail price given the wholesale cost and the percent of the increase.
Round off the price to the nearest whole cent: retail price is $1.82.
The retail price of the toothpaste is $1.82.
To calculate the retail price:
- Find the amount of change by multiplying the wholesale cost with the % of increase. Remember to convert the percent to a decimal to multiply.
- Then add the increase to the wholesale price.
- This is the new retail price.
Take a few minutes to write these steps in your notebook. Sometimes, you will also have to deal with sales tax.
On most products that you purchase, stores also charge you a sales tax which is determined by the government. This money is paid to the government so that they can provide services to the people. Tax is usually a percent increase that is added to the retail price.
If you were to buy a dozen roses from the company in the previous example, you would pay $33. Let's suppose there is a tax of 6%. This would be an increase of 6% so we would use a similar process to find the final price. Because this deals with money, we round the calculations to the nearest cent (or hundredths place).
The total price with tax is $34.98.
To calculate sales tax:
- Multiply the retail by the percent of the sales tax. You will need to convert this percent to a decimal first.
- Then add that amount to the retail price.
- This is the final cost to the customer.
Write these steps down in your notebook.
Use what you have learned to solve each problem.
Example A
Find the total price for $4.99 with a 5% sales tax.
Example B
Find the total price for $25.65 with a 15% gratuity or tip.
Example C
Find the total price for $345.50 with a 10% markup.
Now let's go back to the dilemma from the beginning of the Concept.
Here is the solution to the problem. Notice each part of the bill and how it is calculated.
The total bill is $114.46. You could round up to $114.50 to make the numbers even too.
- Wholesale price
- the price that a merchant pays when they purchase a product from a manufacturer.
- Markup
- the amount that the merchant charges retail to the customer. The difference between wholesale and retail is the markup and also the profit.
- Sales Tax
- a percentage charged on purchases, and that goes to the government.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
A florist gets a dozen roses for $15. They charge a markup of 120%. What is the retail price of a dozen roses?
The florist charges $33 for a dozen roses.
Video Review
Directions: Calculate the retail price given the wholesale price and percent markup.
- Wholesale price: $6.43 markup: 38%
- Wholesale price: $612.00 markup: 70%
- Wholesale price: $.22 markup: 55%
Directions: Find the total cost after adding the tax.
- Retail price: $76.50 tax: 8%
- Retail price: $399 tax: 4.75%
- Retail price: $8.79 tax: 7.25%
- Retail price $44.56 tax: 5%
- Retail price $345.00 tax 11%
Directions: Find the total cost after computing the wholesale price and the tax.
- wholesale price: $4.15 markup: 10% tax: 6%
- wholesale price: $116.21 markup: 33% tax: 5.5%

I was thinking (as I'm sure most of you do) which animal do you like the most, CAT or DOG???
I was thinking (as I'm sure most of you do) which animal do you like the most, CAT or DOG???
''You fool, my reach is far greater than the Jedi.Only a Sith can wield the force over such a great distance.'' - Darth Sidious
Well my cat is in the room so I have to say cats.I do like dogs to,but if it came down to it .I would go with cats.
"I have a bad feeling about this".
"Just when I remembered what it was,I forgot where I put it."
I will have to say Dog.
"It can't rain all the time."
"Quote the Raven, Nevermore."
But since this is a SW site ( ), I'd go with a bantha. They're so furry and nice, especially if you rub their horns! They have the funniest giggle when you do that. I'd name my bantha Bruce.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I like cats, but dogs....i love them!!
As always...........L
I used to be allergic to cats when I was a kid, but had no problem with dogs. Now strangely enough my allergies seem to have reversed themselves. Dogs make me sneeze and my eyes water and cats provoke no allergic reaction. Given that I must say that I still like dogs better.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Dogs. Every time a winner. How can you like a cat when they are the most fickle *?@@%$&*! known to man. The minute you turn your back a cat will run off to someone else because they have a warmer house or better food or a comfier lap. I hate cats cuz they wreck my garden by spraying everywhere and digging up the plants to bury their poo. I hate cats cuz they scream all night and fight like girls.
Dogs are ever faithful and protective. Dogs care when you are unwell and will lie down beside you to give comfort. Dogs are companions. Dogs don't leave you for another owner and never call or write. Dogs come back when they're called and give love in abundance... Hell, dogs are gonkin' great!!!!!
Well cat meat tastes better. Oh i'm just kidding.
I like dogs better.
Actually dogs taste pretty good, while I was in Korea I unintentionally ate some "dog bacon" as best I can describe it. It was alright but a little flat when compared to regular bacon.

Like so many others, I was downright thrilled to hear about a series set in a MMO environment, even more so when it was about a game that would lead to death in real life if you died in it. SAO was certainly one of my most anticipated shows this year. But if you're reading this review, you've most likely seen the score I gave to it and can therefore guess I'm not really about to shower this show with praise. So... let's get down to just what sucked about this show. If you haven't seen this show, a mild SPOILER ALERT. Story [2/10] It started out really well. The villain revealing himself and his plan was... See full review
Note: this review is more of a summary of how it works as an adaptation of the visual novel that's its source material. May not be very helpful to someone who hasn't played the visual novel. --- Creating believable horror usually exploits the fact that we fear the unknown. Therefore works of this genre mostly seem to be located either in abandoned, isolated locations or in settings with a lot of superstitious beliefs. The visual novel Chaos;Head, on the other hand, was delightful due to being set in present-day Tokyo, of all places, and still managing to create a threatening atmosphere despite the fact...

Oh, boy... Ping Pong Club. Thought it'd be ping pong perverted humor. Was wrong. It was a show that made being a pervert a goal in life, a passion, a direction in life that makes most other series' pervs who try to peep on girls in the onsen look downright decent and upstanding citizens. No chance to molest females was left unused, no chance to gross someone out with waving your dick around was ignored. And ping pong was pretty much ignored.
And speaking of waving your dick around, I think it struck me at around episode 8 or 9. Really, the perfect metaphor to watching this show is to... See full review
Ah, Nogizaka Haruka, which is probably better known as "that other show about an idol girl who turns out to be an otaku except it was made before OreImo".
The premise is simple enough: a girl who seems pretty much perfect on the surface is an otaku and a random guy finds this out, resulting in...
...and I'm guessing they kind of ran out of ideas what they'd actually do after that, since just about every imaginable anime series staple is somehow crammed into merely 12 episodes. After episode 9, I threw out a mostly joking statement about this series following a cliche... See full review
First, a bit of background that's probably good to know: as a whole, I usually tend to hate tsunderes who aren't a bad idea in theory but whose execution most often sucks and when they're also overtly violent, childish and voiced by Rie Kugimiya, we enter the realm of my most reviled and loathed elements across all anime.
So why'd I watch Toradora? First, it was lauded to me as an excellent romantic drama with a more mature atmosphere. Second, it was also praised for complex relationships also involving other people than the main couple, love triangles and even the side characters talking to each... See full review
It's the little things that can make or break an anime. I don't think it has ever been clearer than when watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I got attached to this series right from the first episode, yet if you asked me to tell why, probably couldn't since I'm not quite sure myself.
Well, anyways, the good points I can define. The characters and their actions are low key and believable enough to pass for real people and, while they can get very emotional and close to losing it, never really cross the line into Stupid Hysterical, a problem that plagues a bit too many shows.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-...at-nyc-school/A homework assignment that used scenarios about killing and whipping slaves to teach math to nine-year-olds has caused a stir at a Manhattan public school.
A teacher at Public School 59 in New York had asked fourth-graders to write homework questions that blended math and social studies, education officials said. The teacher then used the students' questions, including the slave-related ones, as homework for the class.
One question involved a ship with 3,799 slaves. ''One day, the slaves took over the ship. 1,897 are dead. How many slaves are alive?'' it asked.
Another question stated a slave was whipped five times a day and asked students to calculate how many times a month he was whipped.
Parents of students at the school called the lesson inappropriate and offensive. "I don't understand how teachers aren't aware that would be offensive. Why aren't they aware? Why aren't they in touch? Why aren't they concerned with these issues of minorities in America nowadays?" parent Tim Tate told CBS New York. "It's a little unnerving, a little unsettling."
"In this day and age when every body is so sensitive, when every body is so politically correct, it's probably not the best thing to do," one father said. "I don't understand why they would even say that to kids, it's sending the wrong message," another father said.
A student-teacher said she was shocked by the wording and later refused to hand out the worksheet in another class.

This is one of four panels painted to decorate the Paris apartment of Misia and Alfred Edwards. The other three panels, Travel, Play I and Study, contain similar mythological characters and animals in an imaginary landscape. The four panels were exhibited at the 1910 Autumn Salon in Paris.
In the early 1900s Bonnard began to use brighter colours than before and his compositions became more complex. This large painting (3 metres long) is more like a mural than an easel painting. Bonnard had painted stage sets in the early 1890s and this experience would have helped him create works like Pleasure where an illusion of receding space is suggested — by the frame, by the different sizes of figures, and by a distant gateway.
The girls with fluttering drapery suggest a classical frieze, while the monkeys and other animals in the curving frame refer to the fashion for fanciful Rococo ornamentation in Paris at the turn of the century. These decorative panels were created to blend with furniture of this style in Misia and Alfred's apartment.
The Nabis, a group of artists of which Bonnard was a founding member in 1888, believed that the decorative arts were as important creatively as easel painting.

To provide hospital staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to practice and promote evidence-based breastfeeding support services
The 16-Hour BBC Learner Workshop is designed to provide healthcare workers, including physicians, nurses, lactation educators, and others in routine contact with mothers, with the knowledge and skills to support a mother's decision to breastfeed. This workshop, ideally given by a team of at least two trainers, is interactive. It includes videos, and activities for staff participants before they practice parent-infant attachment. This leads to increased competence to support newborn breastfeeding and consequently, increased patient satisfaction.
The following is the link to the "Full Learner Workshop." The size of the entire document is quite large. We recommend you consider viewing the individual modules before selecting to print the individual parts or the entire document.
The thirteen PowerPoint modules in the BBC Learner Workshop and their corresponding handouts follow.

If you had spent the $32, choosing between it and the r1 would have been much easier because they will cost relatively the same.
This means you will be judging strictly based on sound instead of value due to price-performance ratio.
I guess you could pretend you spent $32?
Or check if the ebay one hasn't shipped and request a cancel from the seller?
Good thoughts and thanks for the concern lol! But I think I'll stick with the waiting and the suffering. I feel that I must slow things down and repent somewhat for all of my dsnuts-taneous™ iem purchases lately. Hopefully, having to wait for the mh1c's will staunch the bleeding for a while (yeah, who am I kidding lol!). And when it comes down to it, I'm happy to have spent only $21 on the mh1c's, and I'll appreciate them that much more when I do eventually get them :)

Yeah its definitely quite airy for pleather, which is awesome.
Kaskade sounds great to female vocals :)
I was actually kinda worried about the way I cut it (imprecise, mix of center holes, upper holes and lower holes not quite the pattern in your schematic but elements of it anyways and I had to make it sort of random to keep each one relatively consistent in its random ness and uglyness) that it would make the channel balance off, but doesn't seem to be the case.
I like the sound alot, will have to analyze more later (and get better adhesive between pad and ring). Do you think that 3M 77 spray would work well? Against the ring and then just touch the pad to it?
and by ripping off that flap, the side doesn't look as clean anymore. But I guess sound quality definitely before looks.
And I always have velour if I want to go clean (though until I clean up the stick between ring and pad, i don't want to pad swap for a while... too difficult to get the clips to attach in its current state)

I have a remington sp 10 and I was just wondering what the latest and greatest shells are for a ten gauge? I realize this depends on patterning my gun which I will do this weekend but I'm wondering if there is anything comparable with hevi-shot? I'm looking for a few choices to pattern with and all I've come up with is the same old shells I've been using for years.
ps..I'm very excited to finally be in a place where I can have these conversations. It's hard to find a hunitng fanatic to match me in my NY town.

This year's dominating event is the introduction of the revolutionary Volvo Penta IPS. The boat industry is facing its greatest change since Volvo Penta launched the Aquamatic Drive in 1959.
Faster, stronger, more comfortable, more fuel-efficient and as easy to steer as an ordinary car. Boats of the future will be better in all respects - thanks to Volvo Penta's revolutionary new IPS propulsion system.
Volvo Penta's IPS - Inboard Performance System - is raising the boat industry to totally new levels in terms of fuel economy, performance, safety, comfort and ease of handling. This is because the ingenious design of the IPS system in all respects improves the characteristics of the boats in which it is installed.
Volvo Penta introduces five new engines for sailing and displacement boats: D1-13, 20 and 30, D2-40 and D4-180. In just a few years, Volvo Penta has introduced a completely new engine program for sailing and displacement boats. The engines in the new D-series are modern, low-emission engines that complies with the emission requirements introduced in the EU and the USA as from 2006.
Volvo Penta's new 16-litre engine represents a technological shift for many in commercial shipping. With the assistance of electronics and state-of-the-art technology, Volvo Penta now has a marine diesel engine with outstanding torque and more than 150 h.p. in output than its predecessor.
• Volvo Penta secures an order from South Korea for more than 300 industrial diesel engines.
• The newly established Turkish boat builder Numarine Performance Motoryachts is turning to the Volvo Penta D9 to boost its investment in exclusive high-speed leisure boats.
• Volvo Penta signs two important orders from the Indian shipbuilding industry.
• Volvo Penta receives an order from Consafe Offshore for the delivery of diesel powered gensets to the Safe Bristolia accommodation platform.
Volvo Penta expands its Chinese engine plant, resulting in an increase in production capacity to about 10,000 engines annually. The plant is jointly owned by Volvo Penta and its Chinese partner, Wuxi Diesel Engine Works.
• Volvo Penta's Inboard Performance System (IPS) receives the 2005 Volvo Technology Award. It goes to the group of Volvo Penta and Volvo Powertrain engineers responsible for developing the IPS drive system.
• Volvo Penta gasoline sterndrives rank highest in customer satisfaction, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2005 Marine Engine Competitive Information Study (SM).
• The newly launched QL Boat Trim System is awarded a prestigious innovation award in the US as the best innovation in the propulsion category.
• Each year the Italian boating magazine Vela e Motore awards the most important innovation in the marine industry. This year, the award goes to the Volvo Penta IPS.
• For the second consecutive year, Volvo Penta in the US receives the Excellent Customer Satisfaction award from the NMMA boating association.
• Volvo Penta IPS is recognized as one of the Top 100 innovations of the Year by the U.S magazine Popular Science.
• Volvo Penta IPS, is rewarded with the Best of the Year Award by the American boating magazine Motor Boating.

ALSC history
ALSC Presidents - 1969-Present
A list of ALSC Presidents from 1969 to present.
A brief history of the Association for Library Service to Children
A capsulated version of ALSC history compiled from past ALA Handbooks and "Top of the News."
Oral History Interviews
The Oral History Committee of ALSC presents interviews with integral members in ALSC's history.
A brief history of ALSC
According to the "ALA Handbook 1948 (with 1949 copyright)":
"The Division of Libraries for Children and Young People was organized and adopted its constitution and by-laws in June 1941. On June 24, 1941, the division was approved by A.L.A. Council. The division is made up of the American Association of School Librarians (formerly the School Libraries Section which had its first meeting in 1915), the Children's Library Association (formerly the Section for Library Work with Children, which had its first meeting in 1901) and the Young People's Reading Round Table which first met in 1930."
There was restructuring of ALA in the mid-1950s. The results of this were reported as follows:
The October 1956 "Top of the News" journal, which came out of the Division of Libraries for Children and Young People, bore this announcement from its president, Margaret C. Scoggin:
"On December 31, 1956, the Division of Libraries for Children and Young People goes out of existence, its programs and goals passing on to its two successors, the Children's Library Association and the Association of Young People's Librarians. Its duties this fall have been and continue to be those of sustaining essential activities, concluding its affairs in orderly fashion, and aiding the two new divisions-to-be in all ways possible."
Very shortly, the March 1958 "Top of the News" journal announced:
"On January 28 at the evening membership meeting of the Children's Library Association, that organization was transformed, by adoption of its new Bylaws, into a new organization with a new name. It is now the Children's Services Division of the American Library Association, and has responsibility to speak for the ALA on those matters which concern children's books and other library materials and their use in libraries in any type which serve children."
Nearly twenty years later, in the Fall 1976 issue of "Top of the News," then president Peggy Sullivan spoke of CSD board discussions at that year's ALA Annual Conference to change the name from Children's Services Division to the Association for Library Service to Children. The name change was approved at the 1977 Annual Conference; coverage of the event in the July/August 1977 "American Libraries" magazine announces:
"New name, same game: ALSC now stands for what was formerly known as CSD, the Children's Services Division."
More historical background:
The "Papers and Proceedings of the Twenty-Third General Meeting of the American Library Association held at Waukesha, Wisconsin July 4-10, 1901," announces:
"At the A. L. A. conference in Montreal in 1900 an informal meeting was held for the purpose of personal acquaintance and cooperation among those actively engaged in library work with children.
"As a result of this meeting an organization was formed, to be known as the Club of Children's Librarians, of which Miss A. C. Moore was made chairman, and Miss M. E. Dousman secretary... The secretary of the club was instructed to inform the secretary of the American Library Association of the formation of the club and to offer its services in the making of the program for future sessions on library work with children, if desired.
"The result of this proposition was that at a meeting of the executive board of the A. L A. it was voted that a section for library work with children be established, providing such section be acceptable to the officers of the Club of Children's Librarians. The section was accepted, and the program for the same was submitted by the officers of the club to the program committee of the A. L. A....
"In view of the establishment of the Section for Children's Librarians, which makes possible the thorough treatment of children's library work, it seems desirable that the Club of Children's Librarians be no longer continued, its special purpose being accomplished; at the present meeting of the section it is hoped to perfect its organization and outline its plans for the coming year."
The "Papers and Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth General Meeting of the American Library Association held at Boston and Magnolia, Mass. June 14-20, 1902" contain the definition for membership in the group:
"BASIS OF SECTION MEMBERSHIP was defined as follows:
"Active members shall consist of children's librarians and those library assistants whose entire time is given to work with children in libraries and schools.
"Associate members shall consist of : I. Assistants, a part of whose time is given to work with children in libraries and schools. 2. Librarians and others who wish to identify themselves with the work of children's librarians."

Ruth Gordon
MS. HOTTA: My name is Ann Hotta, on June 6, 1998, interviewing Dr. Ruth Gordon at Sea Ranch, California. Okay, when did you join ALA and how long have you been a member of ALSC and how did you come to join it in the first place?
MS. GORDON: I'm not sure when I joined. Maybe 1970. I have been a member on and off. I think I'm coming up on my 25th year on my card. I kept quitting in anger. I joined ALSC, well it was CSD then. Children's Services Division. And, at the same time I joined ALA. I went into a librarianship very late. And, what was the third part of that question?
MS. HOTTA: How did you become active in ALA or ALSC?
MS. GORDON: I knew people. That's really it. Someone from the Association of Children's Librarians of Northern California had been appointed to the Newbery/Caldecott Committee. And, that person, Marjorie Kingery, for one reason or another wasn't going to serve and Mary Jane Anderson, who at that time was the fairly new, they were called Executive Secretaries then, Executive Secretary of the Division, somehow knew my name. We had met somewhere and she suggested to the then sitting President that I be appointed. I'm not sure of the year. Linda, did you know the year? ...

Margaret Mary Kimmel
MOLLY KINNEY: It's October 31, 1995. My name is Molly Kinney, and today I'm going to be interviewing Margaret Mary Kimmel, who is a past president of the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC). She was the president in 1982-83. But, we're going to start long before she became the president and talk about when she first joined the American Library Association (ALA) and became involved with ALSC.
MARGARET MARY KIMMEL: I first joined ALA when I was still in Baltimore, MD, as a children's librarian at the behest of the coordinator of children's services, Isabella Janette. Ms. Janette was a firm-minded lady and was bound and determined that she would make ALA available to her children's librarians to join for professional growth and development whether we wanted to or not. So I joined ALA, and Ms. Janette got me on a committee. It was a subcommittee working with another division (I think the State Librarian Agency Division on the Troubled Child), and we produced a series of bibliographies. That was my very first ALA committee. Since then, I've been on hundreds of committees for ALA--well, maybe not hundreds, but dozens of committees for ALA--but I still remember people on that first committee very clearly, especially Hilda K. Limper from Cincinnati, OH, and Jane Manthorne from Boston, MA. Jane Manthorn is from an old Boston literary family, and she invited the committee to her family's cottage on Cape Cod for a series of meetings. Barbara Ambler, who was Carolyn Field's administrative assistant at the Free Library of Philadelphia, and I were brand new kids on the block, and it was a wonderful, wonderful experience. I worked hard, but it was a lot of fun.
MOLLY KINNEY: What about some of the other committees you've been on that have been a special delight to you? ...

Sanitized mail being delivered to campus
Posted December 6, 2001; 09:56 a.m.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has provided information regarding the mail pieces that were held at the contaminated Hamilton postal facility. All mail pieces have been or will be irradiated at a facility in Bridgeport, NJ. A team of scientific experts found the irradiation process to be effective in destroying anthrax and recommended releasing this mail for delivery after it has been treated. This team has assured the USPS that the mail pieces are safe to handle.
As a precautionary measure to ensure the integrity of this process, USPS will put all letter mail pieces in a clear plastic bag and labels on packages and flats to alert customers that the specific mail piece was irradiated and is safe to handle. While we have been assured the irradiation process itself is safe, it can cause some damage to some products that contained within this mail. The products, identified by the scientific team, should not be used if they were contained in a package or envelope that has been irradiated. The products should be discarded and replacements should be obtained. The products identified and the impact on them are:
- Any biological sample , such as blood, fecal samples, etc.,which could be rendered useless by the process.
- Diagnostic kits , such as those used to monitor blood sugar levels, which could be adversely affected.
Photographic film
, which is exposed by irradiation.
- Food , which is adversely affected.
- Drugs and medicines , which may be rendered useless and potentially made dangerous by the process.
- Eyeglasses and contact lenses , which could be adversely affected.
- Electronic devices , which would likely be inoperable.
The postmaster estimates that a substantial amount of the mail that went through the irradiation process is destined for the University. The process of distributing this mail is expected to take weeks. There are more than 13 tractor-trailers worth of mail that went through the irradiation process. This mail is no longer machine compatible, therefore it all has to be hand sorted. In addition, when it is received by a local post office, the local post office will have to put the piece in a plastic bag or place a label on the piece. Also, the irradiation process caused damage to some of the mail pieces i.e., window envelope shrinkage.
USPS was assured this mail is safe to handle, otherwise it would not be released for distribution. However, while the irradiation process has proven successfulin destroying anthrax, if your mail contains any suspicious substances or still meets the criteria of suspicious mail, we urge you to set the mail piece aside and contact Public Safety. We have no reason to believe that these mail pieces are unsafe to handle but we all should be prudent in handling this mail as well as all other mail pieces we receive on a daily basis.
Finally, University students and other casual employees continue to be prohibited from engaging in the mail handling and sorting operations. Information about proper procedures remains available on the Universitys crisis response Web site.
