A distinctive feature of Princeton's campus is the collection of gargoyles and grotesques perched on the gothic-style arches and towers on many buildings. The "Literate Ape" is one of four figures residing above Dillon Gymnasium. Princeton's gargoyles can be found at dozens of locations on everything from downspouts to arches.

Creatures abound on Princeton's campus
Posted October 28, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
As the Halloween season conjures visions of ghouls and goblins, those in the holiday spirit may enjoy a striking collection of creatures adorning buildings all across the Princeton campus.
Among the distinctive features of the campus are the gargoyles and grotesques perched on the gothic-style arches and towers on many buildings. The architecture and beauty of the campus inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story from 1917, "The Spire and the Gargoyle," originally published in the Nassau Literary Magazine, a Princeton student publication.

Princeton's gargoyles -- small grotesque animal or human figures carved in stone -- can be found at dozens of locations on everything from downspouts to arches. True gargoyles are designed to drain rainwater away from the roof. Some are traditional designs such as dragons and strange animals, and many are historical, symbolic of education and philosophy, or just fun.

Other carved sculptures and reliefs known as grotesques perform no practical function. They are purely for decoration and to delight and intrigue the viewer, though many of those on campus represent historical figures, students, educational themes or athletics.
The University's Office of Communications has for many years produced and maintained a series of "little books" that focus on particular aspects of Princeton's history and the campus. Many of these books are designed for self-guided walking tours. One of the more popular of these books is "The Gargoyles of Princeton University: A Grotesque Tour of the Campus," which provides a glimpse and description of many of those figures. An updated version of the book will be available soon. Call (609) 258-3601 or e-mail to purchase the book.

Boost New Media is a Wellington-based web development agency with an office in Shanghai. Nathan Donaldson, founder and managing director, visits Shanghai every two to months and talks to Gill South:
Why are you in Shanghai?
Boost opened an office in Shanghai in January this year, one of only five companies in the whole of China providing coaching and training in Agile and Scrum-based development methodologies. Now the preferred software development processes in the United States and Europe, the wave of adoption is only just starting to hit China. Boost couldn't ignore the opportunity presenting itself to us in Shanghai.
Our manager of Boost Agile in Shanghai is Jacob Creech, the son of former MP Wyatt Creech, who's fluent in Mandarin having worked in China for several years. Jake has more than seven years experience working in IT in New Zealand and China in project management and marketing roles.
His brief has been to not only run Boost Agile's regular Scrum workshops locally, but to get out there and build Boost's market credibility by networking and establishing partnerships and collaborative opportunities that are now expanding their client base.
For example, with one of their local clients, a start-up which is facing thorny problems, Jacob's worked at a reduced rate inculcating Agile values into their workplace, which has been "life-changing." In return the company is helping build Boost's reputation and local cred.
What is the potential there?
Huge. There's a rapidly growing demand for more efficient and cost-effective IT processes, which is what Agile provides. Yet, China's been slow to adopt because salaries there have been so low. That's all changed. Salaries in Shanghai vary widely but for some organisations they have risen to the same levels as they are in the United States. So organisations want greater efficiency - particularly the multinationals already using Agile in their other global operations and wanting to adopt it in their R&D centres in China. Boost is there to catch the wave of adoption.
Why base yourselves in Shanghai?
Shanghai is the biggest city in the world with more than 24 million people and a great entrepreneurial spirit. It's very cosmopolitan and is increasingly an important international business hub. The scale of the market is beyond our scope in New Zealand or Australia with your average small business having a staff of around 500, medium-size around 5000 and large over and above 50,000. Because it's such as business hub and centrally located, it's also a great base for us to reach out to the rest of China.
What have they learnt about doing business there?
You need plenty of patience, resilience and a strong focus on the long-term. It can be challenging for a start-up, especially getting through the basic regulatory processes. For example, it took us six months and significant capital investment to acquire a licence to operate as a wholly owned foreign enterprise - and involved completing and translating 33 different documents. But because we were clear about our long-term outcomes, we were comfortable about the scale of investment and energy.
Additionally, as a Kiwi start-up, you have to be prepared to go it alone. The New Zealand Government provides virtually no support for very small players. It's only once you reach a certain threshold that they'll step in. I'm happy to say that NZ Trade and Enterprise has recently recognised Boost as a Focus 500 company giving us access to their high-level global business networks, advice and strategic support.
A lot of people will set up their businesses while still in jobs. The question is, what size does their fledgling business have to be before they leave the safety of the salaried job? When is the time right? Email me, Gill South at the link below. Tell us your stories about when you took the leap:

Hi there.
Life has been pretty fast during the past two weeks.
I'm currently living in the middle of cardboard boxes full of books, and I'm filling up more boxes with dishes, clothes and the like. Yup, I'm moving. Target date is next saturday.
In the meanwhile, I've been working on constraint, and I've somehow managed to get a 4x speed increase on the 8-queens test problem. I'll be releasing a new version very soon.

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
I picked up a clearance Imperial Pilots set at Target thanks to Jay. I swung by Wal-mart and got the whole set of the AOTC wave of figures. They have several army builders if you want to build extra of the droid, but unfortunately the torso is only available with Beru and Jango as far as I could tell and the head with Obi and old Anakin. I really don't want extras of any of those characters.
I still have not seen the newest ships or the deluxe 2 packs.
Any Colorado Springs or Pueblo collectors here??
Gonna be back from Iraq in August and was wondering if anyone else was out there.
Bill O'Rielly, Glen Beck, Shawn Hannity then its ME!!!
Yes I watch FOX news!
saw the fighter tank today at target. started to get a little worried with the red packaging showing up with GH, ships and legends that i'll never see the ANH wave and beyond.
Teamrico, I think most people hear are in the Denver metro area. I know that Rebelscum has a specific thread for Colorado Springs. THe one thing that I have found though is that things tend to hit the state all at once, so if you are watching one thread in the area and stuff shows up, it is generally hitting in your area too.
I saw the Repainted Anakin ship, Obi, and Droid fighters in the new packaging, but not the Tank. I did see the the Legacy in new packaging this weekend. I don't collect them because they are all repacks. Hasbrotoyshop still has several of the AOTC wave on-line for those who are nervous about the last wave being spotty.
It seems to me, ces, that things hit your area a while before they hit mine . . . basic figures, at least. The ships and Battle Packs are more even, I think.
I have also been seeing the ships in the new packaging, but still no tank. It seems like more and more Targets are getting the Rancor; the Westminster one has one each of the light and dark ones. Hopefully those sell through so we can have room for the Turbo Tank soon.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!

Yeah about me and Rebelscum.....
Im banned like Jar Jar over at that site!!!
Why, because I defended a post of a member that a MOD made against a sellers post. YES A MOD made a uncalled for remark about a seller who I knew and then he got in a war of words with me and posted PRIVATE MESSAGES we exchanged over it, he changed the story and reported it to the webmaster and when I pleaded my case to him and explained exactly what happened he sided with his friend!!
I had been member 500 or something low and had been with the site for years and I got banned!!! F them.
I did tons of sales, trades and purchases from memebers and no complaints, only positive feedback but I guess you cant fight the god ol' boy system.
Anyway, I like heading up to Denver and hitting up the stores when I can, but only if Im in Denver anyway. That city is to big to be running around. Your Toys R Us is like the one COS, depleted most times and the only guy who scores is my 5 year old because he likes any kind of toy!! HAHAHAHA
I usually have good luck late at night in the Fountain Wlamart when they are stocking the shelves. Not as fun as stumbling on a good find on the pegs kinda like shooting fish in a barrel when the old ladies cut the boxes open for you! hey Im not a scalper, I only get one of what I want or need then leave the rest.....for the scalper trash who leave the pegs full of warmers.
I cant wait to get back to the states next month. Wifes been doing a good job keeping up the figures while Im gone. My son know which figure go into "The Collection" and which ones he like to buy to play with.
Well, if any COS collectors show up drop me a line.
Tried to start a collectors club but nobody seemed interested. I was a founding member of the Kentucky SW Collectors Club(www.kswcc.com) and it was great but I cant drum up the interest yet.
Anyway. I will be around. Look me up if your down south.
Bill O'Rielly, Glen Beck, Shawn Hannity then its ME!!!
Yes I watch FOX news!
At last, I got the Republic Fighter Tank. My mom found it when she went to the Lafayette Walmart early this morning. Apparently you have to be up before 8:00 am if you want to find anything anymore.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!

I am seeing the rancor around more and more too. I think I will be picking that one up in the next few weeks. The only figures I need to find right now are the wave 7 concept Ani and Obi and i will be caught up.
"Not again, Obi Wan is going to kill me."
Found Capt. Typho and Obi-Wan from the AOTC wave at target, nothing else of note, and getting there at opening is probobly the best way of finding things anywhere, the walmart down the road is quite a different story, they have their pegs clogged with the live action CW wave from last year, a lot of the ROTS wave of last year and random figs from the ANH wave...they really need to clearance that crap...

EU Concerns over Mideast Migrants
Massive flight from Middle East and North African turmoil has highlighted immigration problems plaguing the European Union, says Jean-Phillipe Chauzy of the International Organization for Migration. He says the EU must address comprehensive reform and also invest in countries like Tunisia to stem the long-term flow of migration.

What International Students Should Know Regarding Anti-War Protests and Immigration Concerns
Note: This article was originally published in 2003. It has been edited and updated for current use.
In 2003, several students visited the Office of International Student and Scholar Services and inquired whether there are any immigration consequences to protesting the current Iraq war. Anyone in the United States, be they U.S. citizens or foreign nationals, have rights under the U.S. Constitution. This includes the right to free speech and freedom of assembly. However, given the current restrictive legal climate at the federal level, it's helpful for international students to be well informed about this issue.
Ellen Badger, ISSS Director, consulted with then-Captain Donald Chier of the Binghamton University Police Department, and Stephen Yale-Loehr, nationally known immigration attorney with the law firm of True, Walsh and Miller in Ithaca, New York and co-author of Immigration Law and Procedure (a 20-volume treatise on U.S. immigration law that is considered the standard reference work in that area of law).
We offer three separate hypothetical scenarios, followed by the combined responses of Captain Chier and Attorney Yale-Loehr.
1. A foreign national in the United States writes a letter to President Bush (or send
an e-mail to President Bush), protesting the United States' involvement in the Iraq
war. Are there any negative consequences to sending such a letter?
From a U.S. constitutional perspective, writing such a letter or e-mail message is perfectly legal. However, any message that includes a threat or perceived threat to the President would be immediately turned over to federal authorities for investigation, so be polite when you write. In certain remote instances, a letter or e-mail that includes a significant amount of identifying information about the sender (your country of citizenship, your field of study, your level of study, etc.) could be turned over to federal authorities for further review if it was felt that you were from a country or studying in a field that is of security concern to the United States.
Recommendation: don't draw negative attention to yourself.
2. If I attend a rally or war protest off campus, will I be videotaped or photographed?
Who might be taking those pictures or videos?
From a legal perspective, foreign nationals have a legal right to attend a rally. But in this technological age, cameras are everywhere. Many large buildings, especially government buildings but commercial buildings as well, have video cameras permanently mounted both inside and outside. These cameras may be recording images 24 hours a day. So, the issue is not just hand-held video cameras or still cameras. In some large municipalities, it is standard procedure to videotape any major event (this could be a celebration or a protest) to be able to record evidence of any injuries or property damage should that occur.
Recommendation: Do not engage in illegal activities. Be aware that such activities may be caught on film.
3. What are the consequences if I choose to engage in an act of civil disobedience at a protest or rally that leads to my arrest? Or perhaps I am in an area where others are engaged in an act of civil disobedience, and am mistakenly arrested because the police think I am part of the larger group? Might there be immigration consequences?
An example of civil disobedience can include being instructed by the police authorities to disperse, and choosing instead to sit down. The police then announce that anyone who does not disperse will be arrested, and you continue to sit, inviting the police to arrest you.
There certainly could be immigration consequences to such an action, and we would urge international students to seriously consider the potential risks before choosing to engage in this behavior. The second part of the question, being arrested in error because you are presumed to be part of a larger group, is what we call "being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Recommendation: your best option, if you are part of a group that chooses to engage
in an act of civil disobedience or if you come upon people engaged in such acts, is
to leave the area immediately and not risk arrest. Depending upon the charge(s) brought
against you, as well as any previous arrests, you could be barred from returning to
the United States. Also, the charges can vary based on the location of the protest.
For example, if your protest is on federal property, such as a Federal building in
a local municipality or in the nation's capital, an act of civil disobedience on federal
property could lead to federal criminal charges being brought against you. In any
of the situations described above, it's essential that you weigh the potential risks
to yourself, and then make the appropriate decision. Attorney Yale-Loehr also recommends
that international students be aware of their rights under federal law. For more information

Spent some time merging NetBSD's wi driver over the weekend
Spent some time trying to get my NetBSD/hpcmips box up to date. I should also try to get cross building on FreeBSD working, but there are too many issues with it.
Spent some time merging NetBSD's wi driver over the weekend
Spent some time trying to get my NetBSD/hpcmips box up to date. I should also try to get cross building on FreeBSD working, but there are too many issues with it.
Merged the Symbol firmware changes from NetBSD into FreeBSD's wi driver. My 3Com AirConnect now works!
Also did a split of pci/pccard front end out of if_wi to make future merging a little easier.
More merging of wi changes from NetBSD/OpenBSD into FreeBSD today. I'm out sick and that seems like a brainless thing that I can do.
Also, my ositech trump card arrived today, so I can test out the mhz NetBSD driver with it.
Fixed bugs last night in NEWCARD relating to multi-function cards. It was an amusing bug that prevented things from working properly unless the attributes were exactly in the right place.
I've also integrated the airtools stuff into the wi driver under FreeBSD. Next up is the host-ap functionality. Or maybe just the bus independent stuff that {Net,Open}BSD already does.
I'd like to merge NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeSBD wi drivers together. They are drifting badly now and need some work and the result would be better for everybody.
I wonder if perforce could be used to automate the merge :-)
Committed the pci attachment code a few days ago. it is going well.
Found out some interesting things and now have the cards not interrupt storming. There are some issues in getting the cards to actually work, but I'm working on that.
Much more hacking on OLDCARD. I have a contract to get the pci cards working under 4.x.
I have most of an implementation together, but it suffers from some interrupt storming issues that I'm still investigating.
It has been a while since I've had time to write here.
My latest hacking has been in some end of life honing for the oldcard system. I've cleaned up many of the constants that were scattered through the source after finally finding the datasheets for most of the parts that were being so identified.
It also looks like it should be possible to share the managment and card interrupts. I'm looking into various possibilities here and will prototype them in the OLDCARD system. With this in place, I should be able to support the pci cards to a limited extent with OLDCARD.
Back ported the awi driver to -stable and committed it tonight.
BSDcon was good this year. Gave me a chance to help get the CARDBUS stuff into the tree. NEWCARD still has problems with 16-bit cards, but those should work themselves out shortly.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

By NEMCC Media Relations
BOONEVILLE – Northeast Mississippi Community College head softball coach Jody Long continues to add to his 2013-14 recruiting class as the veteran Lady Tiger signed two of Alcorn County's top athletes during a stop in the county on Tuesday, January 22.
Alcorn Central left-handed pitcher Chelsea Buntin and Corinth High School's pitcher/first baseman Haley Christian both agreed to become Lady Tigers for the 2013-14 season during ceremonies held at their respective schools.
Buntin was a force inside the circle for Charlette Foster's Lady Golden Bears at Alcorn Central High School.
During her junior year, Buntin posted an 8-3 mark and struck out 84 against just 10 walks in 65 innings of work.
Buntin received the pitching award for the Lady Golden Bears for the past three years and has been a member of the Division 1-3A team since 2009.
In addition to her pitching, Buntin won the best batting average award for Alcorn Central in 2012 when the Lady Bear junior posted a .328 batting average while collecting 24 hits in 61 at bats, which included three doubles and a triple.
In addition to her .328 average, Buntin had a .481 on-base percentage and a .410 slugging percentage while driving in 14 runs.
While Buntin was striking out the opposition, she was a hard out at the plate and struck out just twice against 18 walks during the 2012 season.
Christian was consistent for Janna LaBarreare's Lady Warriors during her junior year at Corinth High School.
Christian posted a 5-1 mark on the mound but was a versatile athlete that also saw the Lady Warrior clock time at first base as well – recording 201 putouts on the year against just eight miscues.
Christain finished the 2011-12 year with a .965 fielding percentage.
At the plate, Christian amassed 25 hits in 97 at bats including a pair of doubles and a homerun for the Lady Warriors.
In addition to her 25 hits in 97 at bats, Christian had a .295 on-base percentage and a .309 slugging percentage for Corinth along with 21 runs batted in (RBI) while scoring 19 more for the Lady Warriors.
During the 2012 slow-pitch season, Christian helped lead the Lady Warriors to their first-ever state championship as Corinth knocked off Newton County 2-1 in the best-of-three Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 4A state finals 9-6, 3-6, 8-1.
Christian was named to the Division 1-4A First Team for fast- and slow-pitch and has been a consistent member on the all-division team earning honorable mention when Corinth was in Division 1-3A along with a place on the All-Alcorn County slow- and fast-pitch team.
With the addition of Buntin and Christian, Long has now added six players to his 2013-14 recruiting class including East Webster pitcher Abigail Rish, Red Bay, Alabama outfielder Audrey Goss and New Albany infielder Shannon Goode and outfielder Morgan Beaty.
Northeast's softball program will open the 2012-13 season on February 12 as the Lady Tigers host Calhoun Community College at 1 p.m.
Northeast is coming off a 2011-12 year that saw the Lady Tiger softball team bring the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) state runner-up trophy back to Booneville.
Under the guidance of head coach Jody Long, Northeast finished the season with a 32-19 record and posted a school-record for North Division wins with 17.
During the course of the 2011-12 season, Northeast finished as the third, team from the North Division but parlayed that finish into a state runner-up finish against Jones County at the MACJC State Tournament in Fulton and then continued its postseason momentum as Northeast was one of the last three teams left standing at the NJCAA Region XXIII Tournament in Clinton.
Long's Lady Tigers not only did work on the field but were successful in the classroom as well with seven member of the Northeast softball team being selected for NJCAA Student-Athlete Academic Awards and the team as a whole was honored by the NJCAA for its academic work when the Lady Tigers were ranked as the thirteenth best team in the nation with a 3.42 overall grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale.

To put that conclusion in perspective: one of the world's leading climate scientists, Kevin Anderson at the UK's Tyndall Centre, has said that 4 degrees C would be "incompatible with an organized global community." The US government's draft National Climate Assessment, released in January, suggests that we're on track for 9 to 15-degrees Fahrenheit warming over most of the United States within this century.
Unless, that is, we drastically change course.
It seems fairly obvious that the reason we don't hear politicians, or the "serious" people in our media, talking (at least in public) about this situation — the true gravity of it — is that to grapple with this in any real way, to propose anything that would actually begin to address it with the necessary urgency at the national and global level, would simply sound too extreme, if not outright crazy. Leave fossil fuels in the ground? You must be joking. Why, that would mean canceling the Keystone pipeline! It would mean putting Alberta's tar sands, the second largest pool of carbon on the planet, off limits! Who are you kidding? Be serious! (Nevermind that a group of 18 top climate scientists signed a letter to Obama last month urging him to reject the pipeline to demonstrate the "seriousness of his climate convictions.")
This is the reality — or the surreality — of the historical moment in which we find ourselves. At this late hour in the climate crisis, with the clock ticking down on civilization, to be serious about climate change — based, mind you, on what science and not ideology prescribes — is to be radical.
In drawing historical comparisons between the climate movement and radical struggles for justice and human rights, Markey is echoing the sentiments of the climate movement itself. And for a good many climate activists and movement leaders, it seems that the most fitting comparison — the one that resonates most deeply — is to abolitionism: the stunningly radical and successful movement, led by a small yet fervent minority first in Britain and then the United States, to abolish the legal institution of human slavery on which a large part of the global economy was based.
The climate crisis "is analogous to the issue of slavery faced by Abraham Lincoln," James Hansen, NASA's top climatologist and a leading advocate (who was among those arrested at the White House protesting KeystoneXL), told The Guardian in December 2009 in the run-up to Copenhagen. "On those kind of issues you cannot compromise. You can't say let's reduce slavery, let's find a compromise and reduce it 50 percent or reduce it 40 percent." Climate-movement elder statesman Gus Speth, advisor to two presidents, writes in 2012's America the Possible that a transformative progressive movement addressing the climate crisis "must capture the spirit of Frederick Douglass," the escaped slave who became the greatest of abolitionist leaders, and quotes the famous 1857 speech in which Douglass said, "If there is no struggle there is no progress." Just last month, Bob Massie of Cambridge-based New Economics Institute, speaking at a teach-in on fossil-fuel divestment at the Tufts Fletcher School, compared the climate movement to the anti-slavery struggle and suggested that addressing climate change would require a political and cultural "paradigm shift" of a similar order.

I thought that the "Constitution" was a "Living Document", atleast that is what
Obama said.
"Also, we have 3 senators that have not been doing their jobs for the past 18+ months (on the campaign trail) and still they all have been accepting full pay. These facts alone support a reduction in senators & congress" Do you include Obama in this statement?
I think Obama's view of the Constitution is a major part of the problem. He sees the Constitution as a failure as it did not provide for economic equality. The Constitution is the cornerstone of a great building and needs to be firm and unchanging, that is the reason why so few amendments have been passed over the years. It is a difficult and time consuming process to change, thank you founding fathers. It is because of the Constitution that the minority in this county have protection and rights, and the opportunity to reach the highest, but it does not guarantee they will succeed. And this is the way it should be. The fact of Obama getting elected to the highest office, whether that is good or bad, is because our Constitution guarantees certain rights, always has. But it does not guarantee certain things the Democrat party has tried to convince the American people it does. There is no guarantee to a paid for education, it does not guarantee the right to an abortion, even under the guise of privacy, it does not guarantee the right of homosexual marriage. It does set limits on the intrusion of the government into the affairs of its citizens. And it does guarantee the right of its citizens to bear arms. and worship and free speech.
1. Paid education: The constitution does not guarantee any education at all: paid or unpaid. If the government decides to provide a public education, it must be done in a manner that does not violate other terms of the Constitution.
2. Right to an abortion: The Constitution doesn't guarantee either the right to have children or the right not to have children. Theoretically, a law could be passed that outlawed child birth altogether and the Constitution would be unaffected. However, the Supreme Court has historically decided that there is an inherent right to privacy and that government cannot interfere in certain areas without substantial cause. That was the basis for the Roe v Wade decision and for the overturning of sodomy laws. Certain justices believe that there is no inherent right of privacy. If Roe v Wade is overturned it will be for that reason. In that case, all bets are off when it comes to other rights of privacy.
3. Homosexual marriage: The Constitution does not guarantee any right of marriage whether homosexual or heterosexual. In fact, marriage was not generally a matter of civil law at all when the Constitution was written. Personally, I think government should get out of the business of marriage altogether and simply focus on providing a legal framework for settling property disputes and custody issues arising out of the dissolution of personal partnerships. Since marriage law does this well, we could simply replace the word marriage in all laws with the word "civil union" and leave it at that.
4. Intrusion of government. The Constitution does not explicitly guarantee privacy. It does protect against unreasonable search and seizure and contains the general "Liberty" clause. Those have been the basis for deciding that there is an implicit right of privacy. If Alito, Roberts, Thomas and Scalia have their way, Roe v. Wade will be overturned and the right of privacy will disappear with it.
5. Bear Arms: Actually the language of the Constitution is not as clear as the NRA would like us to believe and the most recent decision of the Court may become the basis for more and more limits on the types of weapons that may be owned by an individual.
6. Right to worship: The first amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." People tend to forget that the right to worship is only as broad as the insistance that the government not be party to the process.
7. Freedom of speech: The right to free speech and a free press are probably the most unambiguous rights spelled out in the Constitution and are the most frequently attacked. Personally, I believe that without those two rights, the rest are meaningless. If that means that purveyors of pornography can operate to their heart's content, so be it. The reality is that pornographers are not the ones who make their content the most popular destination on the internet.
Good stuff Jeff, although I take issue with a couple that you already know. Why would Scalia and others throw out the right to privacy with Roe v Wade? Why would they have to go that route to overturn it? Couldn't they just simply say it is best left up to the states and the court should not have meddled, or is there more involved?
I haven't followed the others much but, I don't see that fitting into Scalia's philosophy.
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
Scalia is on record that he does not believe that there is any such right to privacy and that, as far as he is concerned, the Constitution is silent on the issue of abortion. For that reason it should be left to the States.
Roberts took similar positions in memos he wrote while working in the Reagan administration, stating "All of us, for example," he wrote, "may heartily endorse a 'right to privacy.' That does not, however, mean that courts should discern such an abstraction in the Constitution, arbitrarily elevate it over other constitutional rights and powers by attaching the label 'fundamental,' and then resort to it as, in the words of one of Justice Black's dissents, 'a loose, flexible, uncontrolled standard for holding laws unconstitutional.' "
It is more difficult to classify Thomas' position since he almost never writes opinions, never writes articles, and never asks questions. In his confirmation hearing he said he believed in a right of privacy but declined to comment of anything related to abortion. In prior lectures and discussions he was quoted as having said that there was no right to privacy and that in fact the Constitution should be interpreted to prohibit all abortion. In his hearings he stated that he no memory of those comments which were testified to by various parties.
The ground work for Roe v Wade rested in an earlier case (Griswold v. Connecticut) overturning a Connecticut law that restricted contraception even among married adults. That case was based on the right to privacy which was deemed to flow from several of the amendments but most specifically the 14th. The most common attack on Roe v Wade has been that the Constitution does not use the word privacy and that there is no such thing as an implicit right. Other than possibly from Thomas, there is no support among the justices for an interpretation of the Constitution that would grant civil rights to unborn children.

I'm sick of hearing we need to create new jobs, lets just keep people in their current jobs and let them keep their home. Instead of creating new we could always give them back their old jobs!

On another but related front, I hear this nation also has something like 64 square miles of vacant retail space right now. Enough to supply our needs for 10 years. Not only is the housing boom over, so is the building boom for retail space.
I may be wrong but I dont think He was pushing 1 for english.

There goes our entertainment...Sanchez needs surgery and out for the year
Cue the taps
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Mark Sanchez is likely to require surgery on his right (throwing) shoulder after Wednesday's visit to Dr. James Andrews confirmed a labral tear in the joint.
He does have the option of resting and rehabbing. Either way, the labrum tear is almost certainly season ending, correspondingly meaning Sanchez has likely taken his last snap as a Jet. He's owed a non-guaranteed $2 million roster bonus next March and will likely hit injured reserve soon. Sanchez's injury happened when Rex Ryan left him in the preseason finale behind backup offensive linemen. The Jets will move forward with Matt Simms and Brady Quinn behind Geno Smith. While a big story all things considered, the Jets had already turned the page on Sanchez and his loss will in no way affect their 2013 season.
Sanchez being hurt might affect him keeping his job but winning or losing will be the factor that keeps or loss his job.
Not saying I think they will have a good season but week 1 was not the disaster with Smith at qb that many thought it would be.
Week 2 might be that disaster esp with NE being next on list.
On one hand, I'd like the Patriots to destroy the Jets just to watch the ensuing aftermath. On the other hand, I'd like the Jets to win because I think that gives the Dolphins a better chance to win the division later in the year. It's a tough call.
But at the same time, Smith wasn't Rex's idea. So if Idzik's decides he needs a reason to push his rebuild ideas without any kind of resistance, he will have his built in excuse to can Rex.
I am not certain Rex is going anywhere. Obviously this depends on wins and losses but he has a rookie QB and few weapons to help him. If the Jets get to 5-6 wins, which I think is reasonable, and there is no circus surrounding the team, he'll be back. Keep in mind that Woody Johnson is a Rex Ryan fan and obviously Woody made it clear to Idzik that if he wanted the job he would have to retain Rex as his coach. Anything said beyond the 2013 season is speculation.
It is a sad day if mark is done for the year b/c that means he is done for his Jets career. I appreciate everything he did for us and although I am rooting for Geno I was hopeful if Geno stumbled Mark would get one last chance.

We are making chicken pies as the theme for our bake along this week. If you have a favourite chicken pie recipe that you've been making for several years that you would like to share, make some and link it to our event this week. If you have not attempted to make one yet, you still have a week to 'rush' to make, any versions..we would all love to have you share with us here.
I wanted to make some small chicken pies, one that probably just be eaten in two bites..that's it. I made some curry chicken as filling, dont get misled by the word 'curry' it is not the hot spicy curry chicken that most Malaysians like to cook at home, i used 'Waugh' curry powder..this curry powder taste very different from our local curry powder. I bought a bottle of this recently intended to make some pork ribs. But i have not made my pork ribs yet..this comes first. This curry powder is not spicy type..not at all.. i dont think i will use this for my usual curry chicken but i chose to use this for my pies today, it's a trial really. I also added in a small slice of cheddar cheese in it ..let them melt into the filling..first bite into these buttery flaky pies, shockingly good, second bite..my eyes were sparkling and the third bite, go get another one!
|cut out rounds using a 6cm round cutter
|put in filling and a small slice of cheese
Recipe for chicken pie filling
( with a few tbsp fillings left for 8 pies)
1 large potato, cubed, mine about 110gms
175gm diced chicken fillet
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soya sauce
1tsp Waugh curry powder
1.Fry the potatoes in a wok or skillet till they become a little soft, put in the chicken fillets , salt, soya sauce and curry powder and fry them till chicken is cooked. Add in water by the tablespoon if they appear very dry and to cook the chicken. Remove and set them aside
Buttery Pie crust ( from simplyrecipes.com )
makes 8 small pies with upper and bottom crust
156gm flour
113gm cold butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
3-5 tbsp ice water
half slice of cheddar cheese, cut into small pieces
egg wash for glazing and sealing
1.Combine flour, salt and sugar in a food processor and pulse to mix. Add butter , pulse 6-8 times till mixtures resembles coarse meal. Add cold water by the tablespoon, pulsing till mixture just comes together. If you pinch some of the crumbly dough and it comes together, it's ready.If the dough doesnt hold together, add a little more water and pulse again. Too much water will result in a tough dough.
2.Remove to a clean surface and shape into a disc, sprinkle with some flour and keep in the fridge for at least an hour or up to 2 days.
3. Remove dough from fridge and let it sit for 10 minutes to soften the dough for easy rolling. Roll the dough out to about 1/2inch thick. Using a 6cm round cutter, cut the dough out. Place some filling on to a piece of dough, put in a small piece of cheddar cheese and cover with another piece of dough, you can choose to brush the edges of the top dough with egg wash and then using a fork to press to seal the dough together. Glaze the top with some egg was and poke some holes on top. Repeat with the rest.
4.Bake in a preheated oven at 195C for 25 minutes or till they turn golden.

EFF and ACLU of Southern California Urge California Supreme Court to Grant Review in Automated License Plate Reader Case
EFF and the ACLU of Southern California urged the California Supreme Court in San Francisco to review our lawsuit seeking access to a week's worth of automated license plate data collected by the Los Angeles Police and Sheriff's Departments. The California Court of Appeal last spring sided with the agencies and ruled that these data—gathered on about three million vehicles in Los Angeles every week—could be withheld as "records of law enforcement investigations."
While California may be home to some of the most aggressively forward-thinking tech companies in the world, that enthusiasm for innovation hasn't carried over to the public sector. State and local governments have been frustratingly slow to make public data available online. There hasn't been anything close to a statewide standard, leaving individual agencies to voluntarily develop open data policies, often in an inconsistent and piecemeal fashion, or not at all.
That would change if the California legislature passes two bills, S.B. 573 and S.B. 272, which would put state and local government bodies respectively on the path to open data.
Digital liberties groups across the country have both celebrated and criticized the recent passage of the USA Freedom Act. Here at EFF, we did a little bit of both. While USA Freedom will undoubtedly impact the court cases challenging the NSA's mass surveillance, the full scope of this law and how the courts and even the government will interpret it remains unclear.
EFF and Eight Other Privacy Organizations Back Out of NTIA Face Recognition Multi-Stakeholder Process
EFF, along with eight other consumer-focused privacy advocacy organizations, has backed out of the National Telecommunications Information Administration's multi-stakeholder process to develop a privacy-protective code of conduct for companies using face recognition. After 16 months of active engagement in the process, we decided this week it was no longer an effective use of our resources to continue in a process where companies wouldn't even agree to the most modest measures to protect privacy.
EFF was joined by ACLU; Center for Democracy & Technology; Center for Digital Democracy; Consumer Action; Consumer Federation of America; Consumer Watchdog; Common Sense Media; and Alvaro M. Bedoya, the executive director of the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown University Law Center.
In her new podcast, Mystery Show, Starlee Kine launches hilariously meandering investigations into the types of quirky, personal mysteries that, while seemingly inconsequential, tend to eat at the edges of a person's mind. This week, Starlee pursues the question: what's the story behind the "ILUV911" vanity license plate she once noticed on the back of a Buick during a really long traffic light a few years back?
Here's where you deserve a spoiler alert. A big one. (You should listen to "Case #4 Vanity Plate" before proceeding.)
Starlee solves her mystery. But, in the process, she also destroys the chief defense made by the automatic license plate reader (ALPR) industry to counter criticisms that ALPR technology violates personal privacy.

Really Franco you cant be that naiive....
the Pakistan aid also comes under the leases on the bases in Pakistan, you cut that money then you better be prepared to pull the strategic bases out...not very practical
the Camp David accord was signed by whom? maybe Sadat....they will argue that the accord no longer exists
Libya is being controlled by a bunch of thugs
The US has long thought that they could buy foreign policy...Unfortunately a lot of these countries now have assets or strategic locations that the US wants/needs..the US foreign aid no longer has the clout it used to have, as mentioned before by someone else, foreign aid also has ties to defense contractors whose plants are located in key senate districts
There in lies one of the flaws of the Ron/Rand Paul thinking about cutting foreign aid..Idealogically it sounds great and stirs up the supporters but from a pragmatic approach it just doesnt work. There is a reason that Congress attaches many different earmarks to defense appropriations, its because it insures that the bill will pass and never get cut, even though it has little or nothing to do with defense/foreign aid..
If Rand Paul wants to have an impact as a Senator, he will have to rise to the ranks of committee chairman or become a ranking member or some sort of appropriations board, thats where the real clout comes in...otherwise he risks being marginalized like his dad

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Add the Rogue fish to that list.
The 'black stone' is one of the major food groups available to upper Rogue fish year-round. Suspect this could be a killer.
Please send me six for 'experimental purposes.'
|Nicely done, our GL steelhead would love something like that.
Woven Body Stonefly nymph
Good Day All.
Finally got a digital camera and I can now post a few pics. Just learned to weave the other day and thought I would like to feed a few of these to our iron headed friends.
I will try them out on the Columbia river rainbows and let you know how they work.
I am thinking the Dean and Thompson too....as I have seen some shucks on the rocks there that go full 2 inches
Here's the pattern:
Woven Body stone
Hook: Teimco 200R size 4-6 or equivalent
Thread: 6/0 or 8/0 Burnt Orange Uni thread
Tails/leg/feelers - Tan or Ginger goose biots.
Legs are bent by heating a pair of fine pointed tweezer tips for about 5-8 secs with a BIC lighter. Pinch the biot where you want the bend and fold over the biot. The heat will set the bend. A word of caution here....do the bending before tying it, as sometimes the heat will be too much and sear the leg joint off...then you have to start the fly over again.
Underbody: Heavy lead wire .030 dia. on abdomen, then double back to form thorax. thread wraps and head cement in place so lead color doesnt leech out.
Underbody color: Burnt orange diamond braid unravelled, this will show through the bottom braided section
Adbomen Braid. Top braid is dark brown UTC stretch tubing
( med) The underside braid is Amber UTC stretch tubing also size med. Both woven in place with the overhand or granny knot braid.
Windcase: Dark brown raffia folded back for first two cases then clipped in a V for the wingcase just back of the eyes
Thorax. Unravelled Burnt orange diamond braid material. Dubbing around eyes and last wingcase are any burnt orange dubbing mix....I like it with a little flash in it.
Eyes: Size small black nylon dumbell eyes.
This is a rather labour intensive fly and each one will run you 40 minutes to an hour, depending on tyers experience.
Good Luck....its worth the effort

How do I remove my ex from my credit history?
Dear James,
I was refused a mortgage by my bank of 20 years. My agent said it was due to a black mark against my name. This was a shock as my credit history is very good. My Experian report shows a 'financial association' with my ex from when we opened a joint bank account. This is now not the case as we parted in 2010 and the account was closed. How do I go about disassociating myself from my ex? Regards.
Tofik, Bognor Regis
Dear Tofik,
Credit checks take place these days on people and not on addresses, but people can be linked by joint financial activity, such as in your case when you opened a joint bank account. If a relationship doesn't work out, it's a really good idea to review your credit report with each of the credit reference agencies. If you find any financial links between you and your ex-partner, ask for them to be removed. If you don't do this you could find that any credit applications you make in the future may be affected by your ex-partner's financial situation. To break the link on your Experian credit report – a process we call 'financial disassociation' – simply use our online financial connections questionnaire. We'll let you know once we've broken the link, or if we need any further information from you.

Assignment: Education-Libros
Every day after lunch kids at Hintgen Elementary School in La Crosse head out for recess. But this group of eight boys decided to give up their recess time to take part in a new program.
"I think it'd be fun," said Devyn Schams, 3rd grade student.
But don't be fooled by these video rockers. The gaming chairs are simply providing the boys a comfortable place to work on a much more important skill.
"We read books," said Mitchell Mollway, 3rd grade student.
You heard him right... these boys are a part of the new Libros program.
"The libros program was an idea I came up with last summer," said Peter Schmitz, Libros coordinator. "And it's designed to have third grade boys get together, read some books, be a part of a book club and discuss them."
Because trends across the nation show boys falling behind girls in reading at the elementary, middle and high school levels, this club is aimed at getting boys interested in reading by choosing books they would like to read.
"I'm trying to find some really high interest things," said Schmitz, "things that they could really enjoy reading whether it has to do with sports or maybe some non-traditional things like skateboarding or paintball."
But while boys traditionally enjoy reading non-fiction books, it's very important for them to be able to comprehend a fiction story, as well.
"They need to be able to articulate what they have learned in a fiction book and the different story elements," said Schmitz, "and be able to talk about characters and analyze them and what the plot is and demonstrate that they understand it by sharing what their thoughts and feeling are."
So, Mr. Schmitz is using companion books which pairs a non-fiction book about a specific topic, like paintball, with a fiction story on that same topic.
"They can get a little background information, some knowledge, before going into the fiction story," said Schmitz.
Which is teaching the boys that reading is about more than just learning the facts. It's also about using your imagination.
"You can close your eyes and think it's real," said Schams.
"It's a skill that you need every day and in every subject," said Schmitz. "And if you are a proficient reader, someone who can read fluently, and understand what you're reading you are going to excel in no matter what field you choose or what area of study that you're in."
Which is why a program like Libros is so important at a time when the reading skills of boys across the nation are falling behind.

Yesterday, my partner who is not a star wars fan in any way shape or form came home from shopping in town and handed me a bag which contained A bespin guard and a sandtrooper (plus three POTF2 stormtroopers ) totally out of the blue and totally unexpected. Simply out of love for yours truly. I was gobsmacked and delighted that not only had I recieved a present of 'toys' from a non toy person but that it was actually what I had been looking for. What a lovely thing to do for me.
So I thought I'd start this thread to ask what surprises you have had that brought you star wars things you didn't expect.

Enjoy a nice cup of tea in the mornings or afternoons when you use the Chef's Choice Cordless Compact 1 Quart Electric Kettle (673KETT).

The handle also features a built-in water gauge, letting you know exactly how much water is left inside the kettle, which is perfect when you are serving friends or guests. The power on indicator light lets you know when the kettle is turned on and ready to heat your water, while the boil dry automatic shutoff helps protect the kettle by automatically shutting off when all of the water is done boiling and is removed from the kettle. As a stainless steel kettle, this piece will look great anywhere and will compliment your kitchen appliances, and the base cord storage helps to keep the cord wrapped when storing away the kettle. Perfect for any kitchen, this kettle will make your day even brighter with a hot cup of tea. Each order comes with four (4) kettles per case.
Auto Shutoff:When the water is done boiling and is removed from the kettle, it will shut off automatically to prevent dry boiling (which can ruin your kettle)

There are built-in Windows tools to manage graphics, but their capabilities are very limited. So if you like to take pictures with a digital camera or just work with graphics files, you should think of an alternative solution. FastStone Image Viewer could be the great alternative. Its main purpose is image viewer, but this program also can handle photos, including batch processing. Using this piece of software one can rename files, change the resolution of the picture, manage color correction, etc. In addition, FastStone Image Viewer supports RAW and displays metadata about the photo EXIF. With the help of this program, you can create slideshows, decorate it with various transition effects and add background music. The full-screen mode is very informative. You can just watch the photos or turn the cursor to the side of the screen and apply some effects, do the edits, explore the EXIF info or choose the other photo in the folder. I often use the batch process feature to convert files to another format. FastStone Image Viewer can quickly convert a JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF and JPEG2000 formats, including the files in the nested folders. Such image settings like color depth, resolution, orientation could be modified on the fly for the whole batch. It is also possible to add watermarks, frames and effects while converting, to set the destination folder. There is also the batch rename feature. FastStone Photo Resizer can rename the files by adding the counter at the end of the name, to find and replace characters in the file names. The selected conversion and renaming settings can be saved for future use.

On Thursday, Dec. 15, Vice President Joe Biden sat down in his sunlit White House office adjoining the Rose Garden to do what he loves best—talk about foreign policy—with Leslie H. Gelb of Newsweek/The Daily Beast. What follows are excerpts of their exclusive review of the year's hotspots.
NEWSWEEK: I know you feel strongly and correctly that economics is really at the heart of not only our country's future, but our power in the world. You have a bank crisis in Europe right now. And Goldman Sachs just said that at a minimum this means a 1 percent drop in our gross domestic product. And it's likely to be much worse, as you know, because the Europeans can't seem to conjure up the courage to tackle their problem seriously. What are we planning to do about it?
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: We're using every bit of influence,cajoling—from my getting in a plane, to the president appearing, talking to [Treasury Secretary Timothy] Geithner, engaging, and being very blunt. I was in Greece [earlier this month]. The president has been meeting with our G8 partners and specifically—very, very specifically on the phone with everyone from [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel to [French President Nicolas] Sarkozy, [British Prime Minister David] Cameron. I mean we are engaged in making it clear to them that there is an answer. They've got to step up.
NEWSWEEK: But they're looking to us for something we can't give anymore, which is cash to bail them out.
BIDEN: We're not going to. These guys at the end of the day are going to have to choose: they either lose now or lose later. And if they lose later, they lose real, real big.

The New Zealand dollar jumped to a post-float high on a trade-weighted basis and is poised for a 1.7 per cent weekly gain after better-than-expected retail sales gave investors yet another reason to buy the local currency.
The kiwi rose to 77.15 on a trade-weighted basis from 76.88 on Thursday, and climbed as high as 77.46, surpassing the mid-2007 level when former Reserve Bank governor Alan Bollard intervened in currency markets.
The kiwi jumped to US85.07c from US84.80c in the morning and US84.74c on Thursday and is heading for a 1.8 per cent weekly gain against the greenback.
Government figures showed the volume of New Zealand retail sales advanced 2.1 per cent in the final three months of last year, surpassing economists' expectations and triggering a fresh wave of demand from buyers of the local currency.
The kiwi has become a favourite among investors as New Zealand's economy is expected to grow with interest rates more likely to rise than fall, giving bigger and safer returns than elsewhere.
"The kiwi is a steam-train and no one wants to stand in front of it," said Mike Jones, currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand in Wellington. "It is fundamentals that have got us here and the fundamentals should keep improving."

The poetry pamphlet has always been a good way for new poets to reach an audience. Many of today's well-known poets were first published in pamphlet form – or have at different times in their career enjoyed the delicacy and artistry of a small pamphlet. They are the connoisseur's version of a very tasty starter. Straight away, they give you a sense of somebody, an idea of their voice, just enough to make you know that you'd like more – or not. Oh My Rub!, for example, made me want to read more, as did many of the wonderful pamphlets published by Smith/Doorstop. (Poetry Business run by Peter Sansom et al has been doing great pamphlet work for years.)

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
167 South River Road, Suite 9, Bedford, New Hampshire 03110
As a fellow Christian, I understand the desire you have as a Christian to counsel with someone who shares your values and perspectives. Someone who can respect your commitment and support your decisions. Someone who is comfortable in exploring the scriptures around an issue. Someone who can use Jesus as an example in discussions. My graduate training at a Christian seminary focused on the integration of Christian Theology in the counseling relationship. Each course required us to consider how Christian scripture, ethics, theology, and history might apply to the subject. Respecting and honoring different doctrinal views within The Church Universal is an approach I offer to my clients.
Stephen Price, D.Min.

As Christian Counselors we draw upon the spiritual truths and wisdom from the Bible and the teaching of Jesus. St. Paul wrote, "…then I shall know, even as I am known." I take this to mean that sometimes God reveals Himself to us as we open ourselves in the counseling process. We hear ourselves talking and we grow in self-understanding as we try to make ourselves known to the counselor and draw upon God's presence. Jesus was able to cast out demons by calling them by name. In therapy we get a handle on what we are going through, and we get support. Jesus said "your faith has made you whole." Faith in God and hope are central to Christian Counseling. Christian Counseling helps us let go of tr

DJing outside is cool.
Please, someone send me some of these. The stylish red version managed to power my amp, speakers, main cd players, DiscMan, and MiniDisc recorder for more than two hours! There's something amazing about getting power from batteries: no generator noise. Three or four deep cycle batteries are definitely being added to my toy list.
After that battery (clandestinely borrowed from the Midnight Sun Solar Race Car Team) ran out, we strung together the world's longest extension cord and ran it to my car. (Phil would now no doubt point out the evils of power chaining.) I did a bad thing and let my car battery go down to 10.39 volts. It started fine, but such a deep cycle is not exactly a great idea. I will surely pay for my summer excesses next winter.

What To Expect When Traveling from the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport
Only ticketed passengers will be allowed beyond security checkpoint.
Everyone who travels by air goes through airport security checkpoints. These checkpoints are operated by Transportation Security Officers from the Transportation Security Administration.
The checkpoints are there to make sure that terrorists can't bring anything aboard the plane that would enable them to take it over or destroy it. These are called "prohibited items" and cannot be brought to a checkpoint, into the secure area of an airport, or aboard an aircraft. Due to the increased security, passengers who have a confirmed flight should plan on arriving at the airport 90 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time.
Not only do all passengers go through checkpoints, their checked baggage is also screened. This may happen out of passengers' view depending on the physical configuration at each airport.
Other restrictions passengers will encounter include:
The Federal Aviation Administration is prohibiting the folloing items from being carried onto the aircraft. These items will be confiscated:
knives of any length composition or description
cutting instruments of every kind and every composition including, carpet knives and spare blades, box cutter and spare blades
any item with folding or retractable blade, ice picks, straight razors, metal scissors, nail files and corkscrews
baseball bats
golf clubs
pool cues
ski poles
hockey sticks
Once you have passed the security checkpoint, there may be a hand search of persons and baggage.
Security Checkpoint Wait Times
How can I better prepare to ensure I have a stress-free travel experience?
With certain exceptions for prescription and over-the-counter medicines, baby formula and breast milk, and other essential liquids, gels, and aerosols, the following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols you want to carry through a security checkpoint:
All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up are not allowed. Each container must be three ounces or smaller.
All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag.
Each traveler must remove their quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.
Please keep in mind that these rules were developed after extensive research and understanding of current threats. They are intended to help air travelers bring essential toiletries and other liquids, gels and aerosols for short trips. If you need larger amounts of liquids, gels and aerosols such as toothpaste or shampoo, please place them in your luggage and check them with your airline.
Please note that some liquids, gels and all lighters are currently prohibited.
Prohibited items
It's a good idea to prepare before you arrive at the airport so that you move more quickly and efficiently through the security process. Here are some suggestions to help make the process as smooth as possible.
Dress the Part!
There's no particular style or type of clothing that you should wear from a security point of view. However, certain clothing and accessories can set off an alarm on the metal detector and slow you down.
Disposable booties or slippers may be worn through the checkpoint to help protect your feet, but they must be disposed of prior to leaving the screening area.
Gel-filled bras are permitted through security screening and aboard aircraft.
TSA Security Officers have to identify any metal that is detected at the checkpoint. If you set off the alarm, you will undergo additional screening. This includes a hand-wand and pat-down inspection.
You can remove metal items at the security checkpoint and place them in the plastic bags offered at several airports or in the bins provided. The bins will be sent through the X-ray machine. You can save time by not wearing metal items or by placing them in your carry-on baggage before getting in line.
What do I need before going the screening area?
We encourage each adult traveler to keep his/her airline boarding pass and government-issued photo ID available until exiting the security checkpoint. The absence of proper identification will result in additional screening.
There are four ways to obtain a boarding pass:
Go to your airline's ticket counter at the airport
Use curbside check-in
Use your airline's self-service ticket kiosk in the airport lobby
Print the boarding pass from your airline's website
If you need to go through the security checkpoint, but aren't traveling, but you want to accompany someone who is, check with the airline for required documentation.
Do I Have to Remove My Shoes?
Yes, you
are required to remove
your shoes before you enter the walk-through metal detector. This includes all types of footwear. Due to the Homeland Security threat level being raised for the U.S. aviation sectors worldwide this is critical to protect the world's travelers who transit by air to and from the United States. Our Security Officers will ask that you remove your shoes before entering the metal detector based on the fact that many types of footwear can be used to carry prohibited items. When a Security Officer asks you to remove your shoes, please do. If you refuse, you will not be able to board your flight.
Keep Your Experience Simple
Take metal items such as keys, loose change, mobile phones, pagers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) out of your pockets. Put these in your carry-on, or in a plastic bag. This keeps lines moving and your experience more pleasant. Try to avoid wearing anything with metal, clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal such as, heavy jewelry, clothing with metal buttons or snaps, belt buckles or under-wire bras.
Pack your coats and jackets in your baggage when possible. All coats and jackets that you are carrying must go through the X-ray machine for inspection. If you choose to wear an outer coat or jacket to the checkpoint, you will need to either pack it in your carry-on baggage or put it in one of the bins we provide.
You may be additionally screened because of hidden items such as body piercing, which alarmed the metal detector. If you are selected for additional screening, you may ask to remove your body piercing in private as an alternative to a pat-down search.
Travel Tips To Make Your Screening Experience Hassle-free
The secret to getting through security smoothly is to de-clutter your carry-on bag. This lets our Transportation Security Officers get a clear, uncomplicated X-ray image of your carry-on.
When possible, keep packing liquids in checked baggage. You will get through security faster.
Limit quantities to what is needed for the duration of the flight.
Items purchased in the secure boarding area are for use on the immediate flight. If you must leave the secure boarding area and re-enter through the screening checkpoint, items exceeding 3 ounces that are not in the zip-top bag will again be prohibited.
The ban on liquids, aerosols and gels was implemented on August 10 after a terrorist plot was foiled. Since then, experts from around the government, including the FBI and our national labs have analyzed the information we now have and have conducted extensive explosives testing to get a better understanding of this specific threat. These changes are intended to enhance security and balance human needs because we have a better understanding of the threat and security risks associated with liquids, aerosols and gels.
In addition, TSA will be enhancing security measures throughout the airport environment – more random screening of employees, additional canine patrols, stronger air cargo security measures, more rigorous identity verification, deploying more trained security officers in bomb appraisal, and screening by observation techniques.
