If you don't know the facts by now you must be a democrat. Its your right to believe whatever you want. D Schultz said today Romney never mentioned Israel in the last debate. The fact is he mentioned it 14 times but I'm sure there are some of you who will believe her. You hear what you want.
The big difference in Bush and obama, Bush didn't lie and cover up he told the truth right from the start. Thats all obama had to do just tell the truth. He will be on Leno tonight lets see if his story has changed.
Libya was planned it had nothing at all to do with a protest or a video. They asked for security time and time again, it was denied. The WH watched this attack in real time and didn't send help. These are the facts from the hearing. Someone dropped the ball somebody needs to go and if Obama is involved in this cover up he needs to hit the road as well. Now be a true Obama supporter and go give your garbage man a big hug!

Gerry, I'm no expert on International Law and treaties, but the rules governing Embassy's and Consulate's areI believe governed by different International agreements. You have the ability to look it it up, if you care to. My understanding is that both Embassy's and Consulates are in the host country as they are invited. Security is the responsibility of the host country.
Consider...If the Israeli Embassy in Washington were being attacked by AQ? Would we welcome Israeli security forces to come in and assume control on our soveriegn ground? Much the same constrains us as to our ability to land marines in defense of our missions overseas.
Even though the ability to interveve in Bengazi might have existed, the constraints might have prohibited us from landing troops on soil where no war was declared.
I don't believe Bengazi was a simplistic event. It most likely had elements of both a protest and an attack with an outcome that was undesirable. Diplomatic Corps, like troops, know that they put themselves at risk on a daily basis.
From the middle-east to Africa I saw demonstrations, some violent as I grew up in the diplomatic community.
I find the efforts to politcize the events in Bengazi naive...JD
One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift
CIA operatives twice asked for permission to help Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff, and twice were told to 'stand down' — while a later request for military backup was denied
I would use another term besides naive...
And at the time this attack took place, there were demonstrations over that POS internet movie breaking out all across the Muslim world. Seems those "naive" folks trying to politicize the Benghazi attack are conveniently forgetting that when they attack the administration and intelligence folks for connecting the two. Like I said, naive isn't the right word.

In view of the story that has unfolded around the Benghazi event, I think that it demonstrates a level of incompetence that we should not tolerate in handling such a situation. Not to mention the dishonesty in dealing with the families of the victims. At this point I think it is kind of naive to think that the video was really an important factor ... if it was, it might have been so because of the original statement made by the US embassy in Cairo that blamed this video nobody had even heard of before. Gave everyone an excuse?
SEAL Woods' father's first words were that this was not about politics for him ... it was about who let his son die. It sounds like Mr. Woods is not going to let go of this either.
Maybe Julie is right ... maybe Joe is just a drinker; or maybe I was right & he is in early stages of Alzheimers. Then they sent Joe to campaign in Wisconsin. Maybe they figured Wisconsin was either totally lost, or would come through for the D ticket anyhow in spite of what the polls were indicating.

To the Editors:
As the author of Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature (Allen Lane, Penguin; St Martin's Press, 2007), I write to bring to your attention Keith Stewart Thomson's failure to properly acknowledge my work as the major source for his essay, "Beatrix Potter, Conservationist" (Marginalia, May-June), and the editorial policy of allowing such work to be published. Not only did Dr. Thomson paraphrase much of my work in his essay without acknowledging or citing it, he never mentions it by name in the text, and merely lists it as one of three other general sources, none more recent than 1988. (He does, however, find space to specifically mention the movie Miss Potter and its star.)
Dr. Thomson appropriates my thesis throughout and in general treats my research as though it were his own. He closely paraphases my analysis of the response of the botanists at Kew and includes my theory that McIntosh was the model for Mr. McGregor, but without citation to my new evidence on which that premise is based. His final three paragraphs directly appropriate material from my book again without mention, as though he had discovered these facts for himself.
I note that your Marginalia column is not a "book review." Nonetheless, it should be held to the same standards of scholarship that are generally assumed for material published in American Scientist. Dr. Thomson's essay demonstrates a regrettable misappropriation of my work, a disappointing failure to acknowledge and properly attribute his source, and the use of outdated references which indicate his lack of currency in the field.
Linda LearGeorge Washington University
Dr. Thomson responds:
I am sorry that Dr. Lear has taken offense with my Marginalia essay on Beatrix Potter. The problem may lie, I suspect, with the nature of these essays. They are not research articles (and use no endnotes), nor are they book reviews. The (very modest) art of writing these essays is to bring together information from a number of sources to create, in 1,500 words, a seamless story. No reader will have thought that it represented primary research on my part, although the viewpoint is completely personal and based on a long interest in the subject. The reader is pointed to my primary sources which, in addition to Dr. Lear's recent biography, include standard works on Beatrix Potter's art and the classic account of British moorland geography. None of these is mentioned by name, and I can understand that Dr. Lear might feel slighted thereby. Anyone interested in the subject will certainly find Dr. Lear's new book valuable.

I realise that this must be really old news for the US forummers (as you get everything months before us unfortunate Brits), but I've just seen the Ep1 DVD and I am IMPRESSED.
If there is ever a case for buying a DVD then Ep1 is it.
I always thought that Coruscant taxis were a bit naff - but the extra scenes with them in are excellent - I didn't realise that they were so big.
Also, the close up scenes of the pods are brilliant - it really catches the pre-race tension.
The scene where one of Gasganos race is selling "frogs" in the stands must surely be a homage to "The Life Of Brian" - ocelots ears, anyone?

Horses need to be banned on peninsula trails
Original post made by Bret, Professorville, on Jan 18, 2007
I did a couple long runs in Huddart, Phelger and Wunderlich parks this week and almost twisted an ankle a couple times in the hoof shaped mud holes. There are mosquito ridden mud areas throughout that are obviously caused by horses. Also there is horse poop all over the place, even surrounding creek crossings. Everytime I come across a horse and rider, the beast appears to be freaked out and ready to buck. I'd hate to see someone hurt or killed. It is time to ban these animals from our parks that are close to urban areas. They are a nuisance.

Look where you're going and you won't twist your ankle.
Maybe we should ban the runners that are scaring all the horses.

If you want to know why all the boys are obsessed over her.
Lastly, got what I was searching for!! I've truly enjoying every small bit of this. Ecstatic I stumbled into this post! and also I've bookmarked to look at exclusive information for your weblog post.
Interesting post made here. One thing I would like to say is that most professional career fields consider the Bachelor Degree just as the entry level requirement for an online degree. Though Associate Diplomas are a great way to begin, completing a person's Bachelors uncovers many entrance doors to various employment opportunities, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Course Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions make available Online versions of their qualifications but normally for a considerably higher fee than the organizations that specialize in online course programs.
I am happy that I found this weblog , exactly the right info that I was looking for! .

Results 1 to 3 of 3
New tank, African Dwarf Frog & Guppies?
My girlfriend wants to get ADFs in a 10g for her kids. I wanted to add fancy guppies to the tank because they are pretty and breed. I think they would like the mix. I'm pretty sure someone tried this combo at some point...
Outside of the babies being eaten, any thoughts?
Tops 3 frogs, then 1 or 2 breeding pairs of guppies to start. Also, I have my own tanks if a bunch of fry survive...
Also would be curious how frogs deal with snails / Corys especially in such a small tank. Need something to clean up and I know my RCS will be nothing but food (not sure about Ghost Shrimp)
Shrimp and snail junkie... What can I say, I like the little things in life.
I haven't had ADF's with guppies yet (guppies are so tempting though...someday!)
But I have seen frogs with pest snails and assassin snails and some kind of pointy snail and I can say my 6 frogs don't deal with snails at all. They ignore them completely.
As for the cory's, they're faster than ADF's so like my loaches you might have to do a staged feeding if the cory's get greedy so the frogs don't starve.
I recently learned from my LFS that cory's (and anything else with sensitive barbs) don't' do well in substrates like eco-complete, because it is sharp. ADF's don't do well because they can ingest. So in that way they are compatible at least!
I have ottos and they are cute and awesome and very frog friendly. Don't compete for food with ADF's.African Dwarf Frogs, Betta, Dwarf Chain Loaches, Otocilclus, Ember Tetras, Amano Shrimp in one magical 31 gallon tank
Two pea puffers in another tank!
Guppies do best with several females to a male. Other than that, it'd work.I hate hearing people say "it's only a $3/$5/$1 fish/shrimp, so it's ok if it dies, I can just get another." It's still an animal! All animals should be treated like they're worth $10,000.

5.83: Using Earth's Magnetic Field
You may recognize the eerie green glow in this cold northern sky as the northern lights, or aurora borealis. But do you know what causes the northern lights? Earth's magnetic field is a major factor.
Earth's Magnetic Field
Like a bar magnet, planet Earth has north and south magnetic poles and a magnetic field over which it exerts magnetic force. Earth's magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. You can see it in the Figure below.
Like an Umbrella
The sun gives off radiation in solar winds. You can see solar winds in the model above. Notice what happens to solar winds when they reach the magnetosphere. They are deflected almost completely by Earth's magnetic field. Radiation in solar wind would wash over Earth and kill most living things were it not for the magnetosphere. It protects Earth's organisms from radiation like an umbrella protects you from rain.
Q: Now can you explain the northern lights?
A: Energetic particles in solar wind collide with atoms in the atmosphere over the poles, and energy is released in the form of light. The swirling patterns of light follow lines of magnetic force in the magnetosphere.
Finding the Way
Another benefit of Earth's magnetic field is its use for navigation. People use compasses to detect Earth's magnetic north pole and tell direction. Many animals have natural "compasses" that work just as well. For example, the loggerhead turtles in the Figure below sense the direction and strength of Earth's magnetic field and use it to navigate along migration routes. Many migratory bird species can also sense the magnetic field and use it for navigation. Recent research suggests that they may have structures in their eyes that let them see Earth's magnetic field as a visual pattern. You can learn more at this URL: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/How-Do-Birds-Find-Their-Way-Home.html
Q: In the past, Earth's magnetic poles have switched places and reversed Earth's magnetic field. How might a magnetic reversal affect loggerhead turtle navigation?
A: You can find out at this URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/magnetic-impact-on-animals.html
- Earth has north and south magnetic poles and a magnetic field called the magnetosphere.
- The magnetosphere protects Earth's organisms from solar radiation.
- Some organisms—including humans with compasses—use Earth's magnetic field for navigation.
- magnetic field: Area around a magnet where it exerts magnetic force.
At the following URL, explore the interaction between a compass and Earth's magnetic field. Move the compass around the planet and observe what happens to the needle. Also observe what happens to the compass when you flip polarity (in other words, when a magnetic field reversal occurs). Describe your observations.
- Make a sketch of Earth's magnetic field.
- Explain the northern lights in terms of Earth's magnetic field.
- How is a loggerhead turtle like a compass?

Serves 4
2 cups frozen broad beans
1 Tbs olive oil
2 chorizo, finely sliced
finely grated zest of one lemon
2 Tbs currants
2 cloves garlic, crushed
400g spelt spaghetti
2 Tbs flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
200g ricotta cheese
extra virgin olive oil
1 Put the beans into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook according to the packet instructions. Drain and cool then peel off the skins and discard.
2 Heat a fry pan, add the olive oil and when hot, add the beans, chorizo, lemon zest, currants and garlic. Reduce the heat and stir for approximately 5 minutes or until soft and golden.
3 Boil the spelt spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and add to the pan with the chorizo, lemon, garlic and currants.
4 Mix together then add the parsley, seasoning and spoonfuls of ricotta. Add extra virgin olive oil to taste before serving.
Chef's tip
Whether you use dried or frozen broad beans, once they are cooked make sure you peel off the outer skin which is very tough. Discard any beans that float to the top during the cooking process.

Thomas Kermit Holloway
Mount Horeb - Thomas Kermit Holloway, age 63, died Friday, November 23, 2012 at University of Wisconsin Hospital's Palliative Care Unit. Tom was born July 13, 1949 in Robbinsdale, Minn., the son of Kermit "Bob" and Geneva (Henrickson) Holloway. Tom's entire career was spent at the Minnesota Zoo, where he built and repaired animal habitats. Tom served his country during the Viet Nam war as an aircraft mechanic in the Navy air squadron aboard the USS Constellation.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents; and by his wife Sandra in 1972. Tom was deeply impacted by the deaths of his big brother "Bobby" in 1956; and his best friend and Navy Buddy, John Maas in 1970.
Tom is survived by his wife, Roberta Sladky; his children, Tara (Tony) Pace, Kelsey Holloway and Brad Holloway; and their mother, Jean Brown; and by his grandsons, Benjamin and Zachary Pace.
Tom loved his Wisconsin log home that he shared with Roberta near Mount Horeb, and his four-legged companions, Beau, Benny Hitchcock, all deceased, and his new dog, James.
Thank you to the physicians, nurses and staff of UW Health who took care of Tom through many health crises in the last four years, especially Hepatology and Transplant, Neurosurgery and Palliative Care.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Tom's memory may be made to the charity of your choice. A Celebration of Tom's life will be held in Minnesota at a later date.

fudcon tips and the flu
Hi everyone, it is time for my annual plea to everyone going to fudcon to wash their hands many many times, try not to cough or sneeze on anyone and to do their best to not touch me at all.
It is winter and we're in the middle of a massive flu and norovirus outbreak here in the US.
If at all possible I would like to come back from fudcon without bringing any sort of pestilence with me.
This is just a reminder that if you see me incased in a plastic ball don't be alarmed just smile and wave.

It just keeps me entertained and still has some lessons from it so my mom approves it too (plus the fact that it's not perverted ;P). Story: Sophie is a daughter who does anything for her family and has even given up her dream just to work in her family's hat shop. When she pays a visit to her sister who works on the other side of the town she runs into Howl without even knowing who he is. The last person she would expect him to be is Howl because he was way too nice to be the "Great Wizard Howl who eats the hearts of... See full review
Entertaining to the end! It was a laugh from start to finish with a few serious moments to calm yourself down, but still....you can't not look at the elephants!Characters: Youko and Keita are just this weird couple in a way (that's how I thought of them). Keita met Youko at first in her fox form when he was just a little kid (and even then he was a pervert). Youko isn't really an inukami, she's just pretending to be one in order to stay with Keita. The Kawahira family are the masters of the inukami of the mountain, Kaoru (Keita's older and much more of a gentlemen brother) has 10 inukamis all committed... See full review
The Story: Each episode begins with a narrator telling an opening to some form a fairytale which then plays along into the episode. The main story "The Prince and the Raven" is where the story of Princess Tutu comes from. Drosselmeyer being the author of the story who died, but still keeps a close watch on how his story has progressed because every story that he writes comes true. "The Prince and the Raven" is suppose to be a tragedy where the story most end as the beginning. Characters: The story gives off the feeling that Drosselmeyer is the villain and Princess Tutu is the hero, but... See full review
I loved watching this show and was really depressed when it was over.You will never have a dull moment with this show, it's to die for, you might die from laughter the only thing that will save you from dieing would be their life stories (it's not boring trust me). You'll start to feel sorry for some of the characters, but don't worry they end up making it big for themselves and make the right choices. I loved every character in the story and you will too. If I had to pick a favorite character I would have to say... all of them. I loved them all. I also loved the weird outfits that the host... See full review
In the first episode of Elfen Lied, Lucy is pretty naked through the whole episode until she meets Kouta and Yuka at a beach. Of course in any anime I've watched there is always someone who loses their memory or can't talk and Lucy is both. Since she can't talk and the thing she says is "Nyuu", Kouta and Yuka names her "Nyuu". As the story progresses they find out that Nyuu is wanted by the government, but they don't find out why until the near end of the show: Nyuu real name is Lucy and she is a killing machine called a dicolosis (I might have spelled it wrong).Mayu, a run away girl...

HIKARU! HIKARU! HIKARU! That's what you will be saying once you watch this anime. Hikaru and Misaki are the rookie team of Angelic Layer: Battle Doll and they manage to talk it all the way to the CHAMPION!! Misaki is one of the youngest players in the game and was trained by the youngest player overall. How did she get started? First of all, the only reason she came to Tokyo was to find her mother, but ends up seeing an 'angel' fight and gets hooked. She buys a whole bunch of 'angel' products and makes her own.See full review

The Super Luminova markings allow for readability, even in low lighting situations. Jack Mason paid particular attention to the face details, with subtle white, red, and blue markings along the second hand, paying homage to the American flag.

With a satanic bible in the boot of their car and using a tourist guide to pilgrimage sites they selected holy places of worship where they claimed Catholic saints had raised ancient Celtic pagan monuments replacing them with Christian churches and chapels.
They scrawled satanic symbols and inverted crosses on premises they defiled - all in the name of their sect, True Armorik Black Metal. The Court heard how two of the group all aged in their twenties were members of a black metal music group, the words in their songs glorified Hitler as the new anti-Christ and invoked scenes from The Silence Of The Lambs. - more on this story

Did you know too bright light in the evenings can keep you from sleeping well? Light inhibits melatonin production and studies have shown that long term inhibition can cause depression. What can you do? Light blocking glasses can allow you to use your bright electronics without the negative effect of melatonin being inhibited.
Avoiding Overwhelm
Avoiding the feelings of overwhelm is something that is not only necessary for our health but to our mental state of mind as well. When we actively and consciously avoid those feelings we can ultimately avoid the burn-out feeling. We all know what that feels like, exhaustion both mental and physical, short temper, sad, anxiety and sometimes depression. Before we experience these feelings let's look at some ways that we can avoid them all together.
- If you sense the feelings of stress or anxiety coming on it is important to analyze what you do on a daily basis. All too often we get up and go and don't take time to truly focus and determine if we are doing too much. Consider taking out a pad of paper and writing every detail of our day on this pad. You will be truly amazed at what you do on a daily basis! If removing some items from your long list are impossible, then consider stretching out the tasks throughout the week. Do you truly have to wash several loads, cook dinner, clean the floors, take your child to baseball all in the same day? Break down your tasks and you will automatically feel the sense of relief.
- We as women, tend to believe that we can do everything on our own, which of course will lead to burnout. It is perfectly acceptable to ask for help. If you are married, ask your spouse to help with the daily activities. If you have children, teach them tasks that will help you throughout the day and week. Remember they are never too young to participate in family activities and that includes chores. Ask a friend to help or simply be there to vent. Yes, it's okay to vent! Keeping all those feelings of overwhelm inside is not healthy.
- Learn to incorporate breaks into your busy day. It is important to take breaks to refresh your mind, and get the second wind which is needed to continue. Take a nap or to rejuvenate yourself, consider going outside to inhale the fresh air. Take a 10 to 15 minute walk and feel totally renewed. It is important to simply step away from whatever situation or activity is causing you stress at the moment. Once you take the necessary break, you will beat the burnout stage before it occurs.
- Ultimately no one knows your body better than you! Don't ignore the signals that surface when your body or mind is feeling overwhelmed. Headaches, for example are not normal and are signals that your body gives you to signify that something is wrong and many times it's because we have taken on too much. Be careful and listen to your body. Just as the oil light goes off in your car as a sign that it's time for a maintenance check, your body will give you signals too. Be aware of them and you will ward off the burnout stage and enjoy life to the fullest.
These are just a few tips that will help you stop the feeling of burnout in its tracks. Begin implementing some of these tips today and you will enjoy getting up each day to a brand new day full of greatness.

Nothing's as comforting as tender pasta topped with creamy cheese!
We've taken a comfort food classic and given it two taste twists. For over-the-top ooey-gooey goodness, sink your teeth into the Three-Cheese version; for zip and crunch, try the Mex Mac and Cheese. Thinking outside the box never tasted so good.
Replace 1 cup of the Cheddar with 3 oz cream cheese, cubed, and 4 oz shredded Gruyère cheese. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley over the top of each ramekin.
Substitute 8 oz cubed process cheese spread with jalapeño peppers for the sharp Cheddar cheese. Stir in 1/4 cup salsa, and top with 1/2 cup corn chips, crushed.
Four (4 1/2-inch) foil pie pans can be substituted for the ramekins, gratin dishes or custard cups.

I use Photoshop CS5, but have had this happen before in earlier versions and never know why. I saved a layout in PSP format, then saved it as a Jpeg. Closed that jpg and reopened it, resized it to 72_600 to post and one of the seven photos on a DLO Template in the LO rotated 90 (so that my airplane was headed straight into the ground instead of sitting on the runway, no less.) The template didn't rotate, only the photo, if that might present a clue. I posted the LO and didn't notice it until several hours later. I restarted the process from the PSP format and followed the exact same procedure and this time the photo stayed in place correctly. I would guess that I had hit a key somewhere in the process if it hasn't happened several other times.
Anyone know why?

I have CS5 and I've never had that happen. Very curious.
Posted 04 August 2012 - 06:48 PM
I've had something similar happen and it's happened as recently as today. I have been working with masks and if I make a change to the size or the rotation and don't go back to the home arrow (the one at the top of the tool bar) but go on to something else, it doesn't take the change. However, if you do go back to the home arrow Photoshop pops up a message and asks if you want to accept the adjustment. Click on yes and everything is hunky dory. That's my take on it.

Investing it into Sun Life Stadium is a shrewd move, its not like that place has ever needed renovation before, this is just a one and done thing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Life_StadiumAfter Huizenga bought part of the stadium, it was extensively renovated to accommodate a baseball team, as part of his successful bid to bring baseball to south Florida...
Aside from baseball renovations, the stadium has undergone some permanent renovations. In April 2006, the stadium unveiled two Daktronics large video boards, the largest in professional sports at the time...
In addition, the upgrades include vastly widened 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m2) concourses on the stadiums north and south sides. Bars, lounges and other amenities have also been added.
Having a sports franchise in your city is privilege not a right. If Miami won't do the right thing, there are plenty of cities out there that would be very happy to pony up for a new stadium to have the Miami Dolphins in their city.
But hey, if some roads cant be maintained or a hospital cant be built, no worries, you can just walk(youd be forced to walk) to the stadium to enjoy some good ole' fashion football. After you buy a ticket of course.

Obama Responds to Romney's CAFE Criticism
Tiffany Kaiser
August 30, 2012 5:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Romney says the new standards are "extreme," but Obama disagrees
This week was particularly monumental for the auto industry as the Obama administration
finalized the new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards
. The new rules have faced some criticism, but President Barack Obama isn't backing down.
criticism comes from Obama's presidential election opponent Mitt Romney
, who believes there is a better method of increasing fuel economy than changing CAFE standards.
"Just yesterday, my opponent called my position on fuel efficiency standards extreme," said Obama. "It doesn't seem extreme to me to want to build more fuel efficient cars. Maybe the steam engine is more his speed."
Obama further added that the new CAFE standards will allow U.S. drivers to fill up their gas tanks "half as often." But when the new rules were finalized Tuesday, Romney
failed to see the benefit
to driving citizens.
"Governor Romney opposes the extreme standards that President Obama has imposed, which will limit the choices available to American families," said Andrea Saul, Romney spokeswoman. "The president tells voters that his regulations will save them thousands of dollars at the pump, but always forgets to mention that the savings will be wiped out by having to pay thousands of dollars more upfront for unproven technology that they may not even want."
The new fuel efficiency standards for 2017-2025 will cost the auto industry $157.3 billion and add an average of
$2,000 extra to the sticker price of new autos
While some are clearly unhappy with the new standards,
others are seeing added benefits
. Honda, for example, was delighted to see that the standards provided extra credits for those selling natural gas-powered vehicles. Tesla also jumped on the CAFE bandwagon when it learned that it could sell any credits for surpassing the standards to companies that haven't.
CAFE standards
will raise the average fuel efficiency of cars and light trucks to 54.5 mpg by model year 2025. These new standards, which were created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOTs) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), were based off of the Obama Administration's first standards raised average fuel efficiency to 35.5 mpg by 2016. It was intended for cars and light trucks during model years 2011-2016.
The 54.5 mpg CAFE standard aims to save consumers more than $1.7 trillion at the gas pump, cut U.S. oil consumption by 12 billion barrels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6 billion metric tons over the course of the program, and encourage the adoption of autos like electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids.

I would like some serious discussion from the right and left, with out some of "fear, smear mentality."
Obama gave a speech where he said "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said in July. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
What type of force is he speaking of? New Black panthers, or just another type of law enforcement? If it is just law enforcement why do we need something else. Who would control it? Why would it need to be just as powerful as the military and as well funded?
He has been criticized for this statement and it has been said that the Germans had the same type of force. (Fear tactic)
I would like one reason why we need this force.

Conference to honor John Wilson, Oct. 24-25
Posted October 15, 2003; 08:27 p.m.
A conference titled "Reflections on the Study of Religion" will take place Friday and Saturday, Oct. 24-25.
The event is intended to honor the long and distinguished career of John Wilson, the Agate Brown and George L. Collord Professor of Religion Emeritus, who served as dean of Princeton's Graduate School from 1994 to 2002. It will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day; morning sessions will take place in 6 Friend Center and afternoon sessions in McCosh 50.
Wilson, who joined the faculty in 1960, retired last June. His colleagues in Princeton's Department of Religion have organized the conference on the academic study of religion. It will feature speakers from Princeton's faculty as well as scholars from other institutions.
Participants will explore questions including: How did religious studies come to be seen as a humanistic discipline to be pursued in the secular colleges and universities? What roles should history, philosophy, theology, gender studies and comparative inquiry play in it? What impact has it had and should it have on other disciplines within the academy and on public life outside the academy?
For more information, visit the conference Web site .

Seated in the bed of a pickup truck, Joshua Tewksbury cringes with every curve and pothole as we bounce along the edge of Amboró National Park in central Bolivia. After 2,000 miles on some of the worst roads in South America, the truck's suspension is failing. In the past hour, two leaf springs—metal bands that prevent the axle from crashing into the wheel well—jangled onto the road behind us. At any moment, Tewksbury's extraordinary hunting expedition could come to an abrupt end.
From This Story
A wiry 40-year-old ecologist at the University of Washington, Tewksbury is risking his sacroiliac in this fly-infested forest looking for a wild chili with a juicy red berry and a tiny flower: Capsicum minutiflorum. He hopes it'll help answer the hottest question in botany: Why are chilies spicy?
Bolivia is believed to be the chili's motherland, home to dozens of wild species that may be the ancestors of all the world's chili varieties—from the mild bell pepper to the medium jalapeño to the rough-skinned naga jolokia, the hottest pepper ever tested. The heat-generating compound in chilies, capsaicin, has long been known to affect taste buds, nerve cells and nasal membranes (it puts the sting in pepper spray). But its function in wild chili plants has been mysterious.
Which is why Tewksbury and his colleagues have made multiple trips to Bolivia over the past four years. They're most interested in mild chilies, especially those growing near hot ones of the same species—the idea being that a wild chili lacking capsaicin might serve as a kind of exception that proves the rule, betraying the secret purpose of this curiously beloved spice.
Bounding along in the truck, we reach a cluster of houses next to a river. Somewhere near this spot a few years ago, Michael Nee of the New York Botanical Garden collected a C. minutiflorum specimen, and Tewksbury wants to sample its relatives. In his notes, Nee wrote that the fruit he tasted was sweet. But Tewksbury just encountered the same species several hundred miles away and tasted it himself. That one was spicy, and the discrepancy was worth investigating.
Tewksbury pops a wad of coca leaves—the source of cocaine and Bolivia's answer to espresso—into his mouth and steps smiling into the drizzling rain. A middle-aged man appears outside a low-slung house, his tan shirt open to his belt. Tewksbury says one benefit of his research is he doesn't have to look too hard for his subject. He just asks the local residents, tossing out a few Bolivian names for wild chilies: Any ulupica? Any arivivi?
The man shakes his head at the crazy gringo. Here? No. Up the mountain. Tewksbury is puzzled. "Are there any peppers without the spice?" he asks in broken Spanish. No, the man says. Tewksbury shrugs and crosses the highway to another yard, where a woman stands with a mop. She, too, says he must be mistaken. There's no ulupica here.
The other four people in our group linger at the vehicle. We're wet. Biting flies leave red welts on our necks and arms. Noelle Machnicki, a University of Washington graduate student, has a plane to catch. Tewksbury marches down the road, hops over a strand of barbed wire, and lumbers up a slope through a tangle of moist weeds. The others make halfhearted efforts to scan the area around the truck, while I follow Tewksbury up the hill. As he enters the forest, marble-size red globes catch his eye: C. minutiflorum. Tewksbury bites into a fruit. "Not pungent," he says, slipping a few into an envelope.
He walks over to another plant. It, too, is sweet. Soon he has tasted fruits from eight plants and not one is spicy. This could well be an entirely mild wild chili population—the first ever—he muses, then erupts into a frenzy of free association, cooking up evolutionary trees for the strange chilies. Suddenly, a monkey in the canopy above us leaps from one branch to the next, and rainwater cascades onto our heads. Tewksbury watches the animal's acrobatics before performing some of his own: a vine snags his ankle and he tumbles face first into a chili bush, another C. minutiflorum. Dazed, he plucks a fruit and bites into it. He spits it out and grimaces—this one is hot. He couldn't be happier.
People have been spicing up their food with chilies for at least 8,000 years. At first they used wild chilies, likely adding them to potatoes, grain and corn, says Linda Perry, an archaeobotanist at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. She has found traces of chilies on ancient milling stones and cooking pots from the Bahamas to southern Peru. Based on her studies of potsherds from different archaeological sites, she concludes that people in the Americas began cultivating chilies more than 6,000 years ago. Just why they did is a matter of scholarly debate. Perry believes it was a question of taste. "Chilies were domesticated early and spread very quickly just because people like them," she says. "Do you want a big pot of yams or a pot of yams with chilies thrown in?" Other researchers, such as Jennifer Billing and Paul Sherman at Cornell University, argue that people learned early on that chilies could reduce food spoilage. And some scholars point to medical uses. Ancient Mayans incorporated chilies into medicinal preparations for treating infected wounds, gastrointestinal problems and earaches. Laboratory studies have shown that chili pepper extracts inhibit a number of microbial pathogens, and capsaicin has been used in a local anesthetic.

AS the two girls rounded the side of the "kopje," an unusual scene presented itself. A large group was gathered at the back door of the homestead.
On the door-step stood the Boer-woman, a hand on each hip, her face red and fiery, her head nodding fiercely. At her feet sat the yellow Hottentot maid, her satellite, and around stood the black Kaffir maids, with blankets twisted round their half-naked figures. Two, who stamped mealies in a wooden block, held the great stampers in their hands, and stared stupidly at the object of attraction. It certainly was not to look at the old German overseer, page: 42 who stood in the centre of the group, that they had all gathered together. His salt-and-pepper suit, grizzly black beard, and grey eyes were as familiar to every one on the farm as the red gables of the homestead itself; but beside him stood the stranger, and on him all eyes were fixed. Ever and anon the new-comer cast a glance over his pendulous red nose to the spot where the Boer-woman stood, and smiled faintly.
"I'm not a child," cried the Boer-woman, in low Cape Dutch, "and I wasn't born yesterday. No, by the Lord, no! You can't take me in! My mother didn't wean me on Monday. One wink of my eye, and I see the whole thing. I'll have no tramps sleeping on my farm," cried Tant' Sannie blowing. "No, by the Devil, no! not though he had sixty-times-six red noses."
There the German overseer mildly interposed that the man was not a tramp, but a highly page: 43 respectable individual, whose horse had died by an accident three days before.
"Don't tell me," cried the Boer-woman; "the man isn't born that can take me in. If he'd had money wouldn't he have bought a horse? Men who walk are thieves, liars, murderers, Rome's priests, seducers! I see the Devil in his nose!" cried Tant' Sannie shaking her fist at him; "and to come walking into the house of this Boer's child, and shaking hands as though he came on horseback! Oh, no, no!"
The stranger took off his hat, a tall, battered chimney-pot, and disclosed a bald head, at the back of which was a little fringe of curled white hair; and he bowed to Tant' Sannie.
"What does she remark, my friend?" he inquired, turning his cross-wise looking eyes on the old German.
The German rubbed his old hands and hesitated.
"Ah—well—ah—the—Dutch—you know— page: 44 do not like people who walk—in this country—ah!"
"My dear friend," said the stranger, laying his hand on the German's arm, "I should have bought myself another horse, but crossing, five days ago, a full river, I lost my purse—a purse with five hundred pounds in it. I spent five days on the bank of the river trying to find it—couldn't. Paid a Kaffir nine pounds to go in and look for it at the risk of his life—couldn't find it."
The German would have translated this information, but the Boer-woman gave no ear.
"No, no; he goes to-night. See how he looks at me—a poor unprotected female! If he wrongs me, who is to do me right?" cried Tant' Sannie.
"I think," said the German in an undertone, "if you didn't look at her quite so much it might be advisable. She—ah—she—might—imagine that you liked her too well,—in fact—ah—"page: 45
"Certainly, my dear friend, certainly," said the stranger. "I shall not look at her."
Saying this, he turned his nose full upon a small Kaffir of two years old. That small naked Kaffir became instantly so terrified that he fled to his mother's blanket for protection, howling horribly.
Upon this the new-comer fixed his eyes pensively on the stamp-block, folding his hands on the head of his cane. His boots were broken, but he still had the cane of a gentleman.
"Yo vaggabonds se Engelschman!" said Tant' Sannie, looking straight at him.
This was a near approach to plain English; but the man contemplated the block abstractedly, wholly unconscious that any antagonism was being displayed toward him.
"You might not be a Scotchman, or anything of that kind, might you?" suggested the German. "It is the English that she hates."
"My dear friend," said the stranger, "I am page: 46 Irish every inch of me—father Irish, mother Irish. I've not a drop of English blood in my veins."
"And you might not be married, might you?" persisted the German. "If you had a wife and children, now? Dutch people do not like those who are not married."
"Ah," said the stranger, looking tenderly at the block, "I have a dear wife and three sweet little children—two lovely girls and a noble boy."
This information having been conveyed to the Boer-woman, she, after some further conversation, appeared slightly mollified; but remained firm to her conviction that the man's designs were evil.
"For, dear Lord!" she cried; "all Englishmen are ugly; but was there ever such a red-rag-nosed thing with broken boots and crooked eyes before. Take him to your room," she cried to the German; "but all the sin he does I lay at your door."page: 47
The German having told him how matters were arranged, the stranger made a profound bow to Tant' Sannie and followed his host, who led the way to his own little room.
"I thought she would come to her better self soon," the German said joyously. "Tant' Sannie is not wholly bad, far from it, far." Then seeing his companion cast a furtive glance at him, which he mistook for one of surprise, he added quickly, "Ah, yes, yes; we are all a primitive people here—not very lofty. We deal not in titles. Every one is Tanta and Oom—aunt and uncle. This may be my room," he said, opening the door. "It is rough, the room is rough; not a palace—not quite. But it may be better than the fields, a little better," he said, glancing round at his companion. "Come in, come in. There is something to eat—a mouthful: not the fare of emperors and kings; but we do not starve, not yet," he said, rubbing his hands together and looking page: 48 round with a pleased, half-nervous smile on his old face.
"My friend, my dear friend," said the stranger, seizing him by the hand, "may the Lord bless you, the Lord bless and reward you—the God of the fatherless and the stranger. But for you I would this night have slept in the fields, with the dews of heaven upon my head."
Late that evening Lyndall came down to the cabin with the German's rations. Through the tiny square window the light streamed forth, and without knocking she raised the latch and entered. There was a fire burning on the hearth, and it cast its ruddy glow over the little dingy room, with its worm-eaten rafters and mud floor, and broken white-washed walls. A curious little place, filled with all manner of articles. Next to the fire was a great tool-box; beyond that the little bookshelf with its well-worn books; beyond that, in the corner, a heap page: 49 of filled and empty grain-bags. From the rafters hung down straps, "reims," old boots, bits of harness, and a string of onions. The bed was in another corner, covered by a patchwork quilt of faded red lions, and divided from the rest of the room by a blue curtain, now drawn back. On the mantelshelf was an endless assortment of little bags and stones; and on the wall hung a map of South Germany, with a red line drawn through it to show where the German had wandered. This place was the one home the girls had known for many a year. The house where Tant' Sannie lived and ruled was a place to sleep in, to eat in, not to be happy in. It was in vain she told them they were grown too old to go there; every morning and evening found them there. Were there not too many golden memories hanging about the old place for them to leave it?
Long winter nights, when they had sat round the fire and roasted potatoes, and asked riddles, page: 50 and the old man had told of the little German village, where, fifty years before, a little German boy had played at snowballs, and had carried home the knitted stockings of a little girl who afterward became Waldo's mother; did they not seem to see the German peasant girls walking about with their wooden shoes and yellow, braided hair, and the little children eating their suppers out of little wooden bowls when the good mothers called them in to have their milk and potatoes?
And were there not yet better times than these? Moonlight nights, when they romped about the door, with the old man, yet more a child than any of them, and laughed, till the old roof of the waggon-house rang.
Or, best of all, were there not warm, dark, starlight nights, when they sat together on the door-step, holding each other's hands, singing German hymns, their voices rising clear in the still night air—till the German would draw page: 51 away his hand suddenly to wipe quickly a tear the children must not see? Would they not sit looking up at the stars and talking of them—of the dear Southern Cross, red, fiery Mars, Orion, with his belt, and the Seven Mysterious Sisters—and fall to speculating over them? How old were they? Who dwelt in them? And the old German would say that perhaps the souls we loved lived in them; there, in that little twinkling point was perhaps the little girl whose stockings he had carried home; and the children would look up at it lovingly, and call it "Old Otto's star." Then they would fall to deeper speculations—of the times and seasons wherein the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll, and the stars shall fall as a fig-tree casteth her untimely figs, and there shall be time no longer; "when the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all His holy angels with Him." In lower and lower tones they would talk, till at last they fell into whispers; then they would page: 52 wish good night softly, and walk home hushed and quiet.
To-night, when Lyndall looked in, Waldo sat before the fire watching a pot which simmered there, with his slate and pencil in his hand; his father sat at the table buried in the columns of a three-weeks-old newspaper; and the stranger lay stretched on the bed in the corner, fast asleep, his mouth open, his great limbs stretched out loosely, betokening much weariness. The girl put the rations down upon the table, snuffed the candle, and stood looking at the figure on the bed.
"Old Otto," she said presently, laying her hand down on the newspaper, and causing the old German to look up over his glasses, "how long did that man say he had been walking?"
"Since this morning, poor fellow! A gentleman—not accustomed to walking—horse died—poor fellow!" said the German, pushing out his lip and glancing commiseratingly over his page: 53 spectacles in the direction of the bed where the stranger lay, with his flabby double chin, and broken boots through which the flesh shone.
"And do you believe him, Uncle Otto?"
"Believe him? why of course I do. He himself told me the story three times distinctly."
"If," said the girl slowly, "he had walked for only one day his boots would not have looked so; and if—"
"If!" said the German starting up in his chair, irritated that any one should doubt such irrefragable evidence—"if! Why, he told me himself! Look how he lies there," added the German pathetically, "worn out—poor fellow! We have something for him though," pointing with his forefinger over his shoulder to the saucepan that stood on the fire. "We are not cooks—not French cooks, not quite; but it's drinkable, drinkable, I think; better than nothing, I think," he added, nodding his head page: 54 in a jocund manner that evinced his high estimation of the contents of the saucepan and his profound satisfaction therein. "Bish! bish! my chicken," he said, as Lyndall tapped her little foot up and down upon the floor. "Bish! bish! my chicken; you will wake him."
He moved the candle so that his own head might intervene between it and the sleeper's face; and, smoothing his newspaper, he adjusted his spectacles to read.
The child's grey-black eyes rested on the figure on the bed, then turned to the German, then rested on the figure again.
"I think he is a liar. Good night, Uncle Otto," she said slowly, turning to the door.
Long after she had gone the German folded his paper up methodically, and put it in his pocket.
The stranger had not awakened to partake of the soup, and his son had fallen asleep on the ground. Taking two white sheep-skins from page: 55 the heap of sacks in the corner, the old man doubled them up, and lifting the boy's head gently from the slate on which it rested, placed the skins beneath it.
"Poor lambie, poor lambie!" he said, tenderly patting the great rough head; "tired is he!"
He threw an overcoat across the boy's feet, and lifted the saucepan from the fire. There was no place where the old man could comfortably lie down himself, so he resumed his seat. Opening a much-worn Bible, he began to read, and as he read pleasant thoughts and visions thronged on him.
"I was a stranger, and ye took me in," he read.
He turned again to the bed where the sleeper lay.
"I was a stranger."
Very tenderly the old man looked at him. He saw not the bloated body nor the evil face of the man; but, as it were, under deep disguise page: 56 and fleshly concealment, the form that long years of dreaming had made very real to him. "Jesus, lover, and is it given to us, weak and sinful, frail and erring, to serve Thee, to take Thee in!" he said softly, as he rose from his seat. Full of joy, he began to pace the little room. Now and again as he walked he sang the lines of a German hymn, or muttered broken words of prayer. The little room was full of light. It appeared to the German that Christ was very near him, and that at almost any moment the thin mist of earthly darkness that clouded his human eyes might be withdrawn, and that made manifest of which the friends at Emmaus, beholding it, said, "It is the Lord!"
Again, and yet again, through the long hours of that night, as the old man walked he looked up to the roof of his little room, with its blackened rafters, and yet saw them not. His rough, bearded face was illuminated with a radiant gladness; and the night was not shorter page: 57 to the dreaming sleepers than to him whose waking dreams brought heaven near.
So quickly the night fled, that he looked up with surprise when at four o'clock the first grey streaks of summer dawn showed themselves through the little window. Then the old man turned to rake together the few coals that lay under the ashes, and his son, turning on the sheep-skins, muttered sleepily to know if it were time to rise.
"Lie still, lie still! I would only make a fire," said the old man.
"Have you been up all night?" asked the boy.
"Yes; but it has been short, very short. Sleep again, my chicken; it is yet early."
And he went out to fetch more fuel.

Binghamton University retail store earns top honors in national competition
BINGHAMTON, NY - It might look like a throwback to the days of rock-n'roll and slicked-back hair but there's nothing old-fashioned about Binghamton University's Woods Diner. And earlier this month, the National Association of College and University Food Service (NACUFS) agreed, awarding this popular campus convenience store top honors in the annual Best of Business C- Store competition.
With classic checkerboard tile floors and a replica '55 Chevy Bel Air gracing the walls, the Woods Diner caught the eyes of the judges with its mix of classic malt-shop offerings and one-stop convenience items served with a twist of modern technology.
"We wanted to get that classic diner experience but with the ease of today's technology," said Peter Napolitano, director of auxiliary services at Binghamton University. "And I think we have been able to do that with the Woods. By offering classics such as milkshakes and burgers in the traditional way as well as through digital kiosk systems and online ordering, we have been able to merge the best of both worlds. The feedback from our number #1 priority – our students – has been tremendous. The added bonus of receiving the NACUFS award reinforces what we already knew – that the Woods is destined to become a modern classic for Binghamton students."
Recognizing leadership in product mix, marketing, layout, design and new ideas, the C-Store Best in the Business competition provides an opportunity for college and university campuses to share stories of their latest improvements and highlight their retail and convenience store best practices. College and universities must be NACUFS institution members to be were considered and competition is generally quite fierce among the campuses.
"We are very pleased to have been recognized with this award," Robert Griffin, district marketing manager for Sodexo Campus Services. "We really like the way the diner space looks and feels, and we think that we have been able to provide our students with a service that doesn't exist anywhere else on this campus – and most others, for that matter!"
The Woods Diner, which has only been open for about a year, had its humble beginnings as the old Nite Owl Café. After having served the College-in-the-Woods community for over 15 years, the Nite Owl was about ready for equipment replacement and much needed expansion. A complete makeover later, that included input from students, the 400-square-foot space resurfaced with a fresh but familiar diner look.
Woods is open daily from 8:30 a.m. through 1:00 a.m. and features a full-service grill and ice-cream shop in the evenings after the close of resident dining hours. A large digital menu board flashes the latest specials and updated information about campus activities and events. In addition to prepared food items, the Woods Diner also carries a complete line of convenience store items such as boxed grocery items, a comprehensive beverage and snack offering, Starbucks coffee, and a selection of grab-and-go items.
