Figures from the charity 'see me', suggest that one person in four is likely to suffer a mental health problem.
And more than a third of them will be bullied or harassed by their bosses or colleagues at work, it is claimed.
The campaign is designed to overcome prejudice and aims to change attitudes by persuasion, rather than the law.
Experts allege patients are facing a much greater stigma than previously thought.
They claim a large amount of talent has been wasted because people with mental health problems have been too afraid to reveal them during job applications or interviews, or when going for promotion, for fear of how other people at work might react.
As well as running a series of adverts, campaigners also have the support of employers' organisations who believe most companies will want to keep the staff in whom they have invested.
Report's criticism
Health watchdogs last month warned that people with schizophrenia were being let down by a patchy network of care and poor record-keeping.
A three-year inquiry into services for people with mental illness across Scotland found "far too much variation" in the standard of care.
The NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (QIS) review found some progress since an earlier performance report in 2002.
There are 12,000 people in contact with services, according to the review team.
However, the report said: "No NHS organisation has a system to record all those with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and the actual number of people with the condition is likely to be higher than this figure."
Health Minister Malcolm Chisholm pledged extra funds to support an existing
mental health information programme, but said boards were accountable for their
performance in delivering services.
Schizophrenia is a disabling mental illness where disordered thinking disturbs an individual's ability to function normally in society.
Symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations and catatonic movements.

Coronation Street actor Ian Puleston-Davies has revealed that his character Owen thinks he should have killed evil boss Phelan.
In next week's episodes of the soap, Pat Phelan will blackmail the Windass family with CCTV footage of Gary attacking him, forcing the father and son building duo to work for him for a basic wage.
Now Pulestone-Davies has said that Owen wishes son Gary had killed Phelan because of the position they're now in and also because Phelan made a move on his wife, Anna.
"In a way he does because in the same position he would have done the same," the actor told the Radio Times. "He's being very hypocritical as he does think Phelan deserves everything that's come to him. Phelan's a very bad man."
When asked about how Owen feels about discovering Phelan tried it on with Anna, he explained that Owen is feeling guilty for letting it happen.
"He's feeling very emasculated at the moment," he admitted. "He feels he's let Anna down, even though he wasn't at all instrumental in what happened. In his mind he wasn't there to protect her.
"He's a very proud man. Owen is an old-school type and I have great fun exploring that type of old-fashioned family man."

500, 472, 425, 368 Discussion, 472 will a th700r4 swap directly or...? in Cadillac Engine Discussion; 8000lbs...??? and you are hoping for more than 15 mpg...?...
Re: 472 will a th700r4 swap directly or...?
and you are hoping for more than 15 mpg...?
Re: 472 will a th700r4 swap directly or...?
What's 8000lbs? More like 5500 or so.(Egads, I missed the Hearse part. Yeah, that might just weigh a full 4 tons).
Re-gearing into the mid 3's and a well built 700 will get you into the low 20's on the highway(assuming well tuned ignition and free-breathing air intake and exhaust). The factory gears were the compromise to gain highway fuel economy. They kill in town performance though. A gear switch alone is great if you don't plan on much highway use. The car peps right up and so does the fuel economy, but it's usually tough on highway MPG.
Better is a 4l80E with a controller. It's essentially a Turbo400 with an OD and computer controlled valve body and will take anything the 472 will dish out, bone stock. With an adapter and controller a good used one won't cost you as much as buying and building the 700.
Re: 472 will a th700r4 swap directly or...?
haha the 4l80e by itself would be over a grand then on top of that the stand alone computer would be 1500+ I don't think I would ever get the gas mpg to make that amount up unless I DD the car

Re: 472 will a th700r4 swap directly or...?
Gas is getting close to $3.00 again, and 92 is over that. Recalculate.
Re: 472 will a th700r4 swap directly or...?
Used 4l80E: $600 or less. Rebuilt if you carry it in: $800 or less. Controller, las time I looked(was going to put one behind my 500 intended for the M715): $500. Do a mild shift kit yourself. Stall converter...I forget...$275? All told maybe five or 600 more than building a 700 the right way. And you still don't have something as bulletproof as a built 80.
Drawback to the 80 is carried over from it's TH400 daddy: Parasitic loss. It just takes more to get that mass wound up than it does for the lighter TH350, 700 or especially the 200.
If making it pay for itself is your goal, give up now. Do you think the guy that trades off his 20mpg paid for sedan for a 35MPG econobox ever makes his money back in fuel savings? If he's lucky he breaks even in the life of the car. Might as well keep the old one and avoid the pymts.

Re: 472 will a th700r4 swap directly or...?
I thought Mr Paradox overestimated those prices a little. Since I have never killed a th400 in my life I wouldn't even rebuild any used 4l80e that I bought. I have that much confidence in GM's ability to build a super dependable transmission for the heavy duty applications. I think either swap has it's advantages so I would take the path of least resistance. Whatever deal comes your way first will probably be the easiest.

What a joyful coincidence was yesterday's canonization of two "Mothers" and 800 martyrs on our "Mother's Day". Pope Francis' homily (quoted in portions below) provided a compelling introduction to our newest patrons:
800 Martyrs of Otranto: Today the Church proposes for our veneration a host of martyrs, who were called together to the supreme witness to the Gospel in 1480. About eight hundred people, [who], having survived the siege and invasion of Otranto, were beheaded near that city. They refused to renounce their faith and died confessing the risen Christ. Where did they find the strength to remain faithful? Precisely in faith, which allows us to see beyond the limits of our human eyes, beyond the boundaries of earthly life, to contemplate "the heavens opened" – as St. Stephen said – and the living Christ at the right hand of the Father. Dear friends, let us conserve the faith [that] we have received and that is our true treasure, let us renew our fidelity to the Lord, even in the midst of obstacles and misunderstandings; God will never allow us to want [for] strength and serenity. As we venerate the martyrs of Otranto, let us ask God to sustain those many Christians who, in these times and in many parts of the world, right now, still suffer violence, and give them the courage and fidelity to respond to evil with good.
Saint Laura Montoya ("Mother Laura"): Saint Laura Montoya was an instrument of evangelization, first as teacher and then as the spiritual mother of the indigenous peoples, in whom she infused hope, welcoming them with the love [she] learned from God, and bringing them to him with pedagogical efficacy that respected, and was not opposed to, their own culture. In her work of evangelization, Mother Laura became, in the words of St. Paul, truly everything to everyone, (cf. 1 Cor 9:22). Even today her spiritual daughters live and bring the Gospel to the most remote and needy places, as a kind of vanguard of the Church. This first saint born on the beautiful Colombian soil, teaches us to be generous [together] with God, not to live the faith alone – as if we could live our faith in isolation – but to communicate, to radiate the joy of the Gospel by word and witness of life in every place we find ourselves. She teaches us to see the face of Jesus reflected in the other, to overcome indifference and individualism, welcoming everyone without prejudice or constraints, with love, giving the best of ourselves and above all, sharing with them the most valuable thing we have, which is not our works or our organizations, no: the most valuable thing we have is Christ and his Gospel.
St. Maria Guadalupe García Zavala ("Mother Lupita"): In today's Gospel, Jesus prays to the Father with these words: "I have made known thy name to them and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. (Jn 17:26)" The martyrs' faithfulness even unto death, the proclamation of the Gospel are rooted in the love of God that has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (cf. Rom 5:5), and in the witness we must bear to this love in our daily lives. St. Maria Guadalupe García Zavala knew this well. Giving up a comfortable life – how much damage does the comfortable life, life of comfort, do? The gentrification of the heart paralyzes us – and [she], giving up a comfortable life to follow the call of Jesus, taught people to love poverty, in order the more to love the poor and the sick. Mother Lupita knelt on the floor of the hospital before the sick, before the abandoned, to serve them with tenderness and compassion. This is what it means to touch the flesh of Christ. The poor, the abandoned, the sick, the marginalized are the flesh of Christ. And Mother Lupita touched the flesh of Christ and taught us this conduct: [to be] unabashed,[to be] unafraid, [to be] not loathe to touch the flesh of Christ. Mother Lupita understood what it means "to touch the flesh of Christ." Today her spiritual daughters also seek to reflect the love of God in works of charity, without sparing sacrifices, and [while] facing with meekness, with apostolic constancy (hypomone), any obstacle. This new Mexican saint invites us to love as Jesus loved us, and this leads one not to retreat into oneself, into one's own problems, into one's own ideas, into one's own interests in this little world that has done us so much damage, but to get up and go to meet those who need care, understanding and support, to bring the warm closeness of God's love through gestures of delicacy and sincere affection and love.
If you have the opportunity, please watch this compelling Rome Reports video, where you can truly witness Pope Francis' passion as he preaches about our newest saints.
I can't wait to know them more intimately!

S.B. 345 created a second method for calculating the amount required to be set aside for textbook and instructional materials and for capital and maintenance. Both methods use prior year data. Each fiscal year districts may choose between the two methods for calculating its set aside requirement. If a district chooses to use the original H.B. 412 method, the local board of education must pass a resolution by September 30th and keep it on file for audit purposes. The board of education does not have to take any action if it chooses to use the new S.B. 345 method.
The new method, established under S.B. 345, allows districts to take student population times the prior year's base cost per pupil times 3% to determine the amount of the set aside.
The set aside requirement under H.B. 412, is 3% of the prior year's base revenue. Base revenue consists of property taxes, income taxes, and the state portion of base revenue for the regular student population.
This amount should be added to the district's local property taxes and income taxes to get the total base revenue. Districts should consult Auditor of State Bulletin 98-014 to determine which local property and income taxes are included in the base revenue.
Districts should consult Auditor of State Bulletin 2001-06 for more details.

Cost overruns on Jamaica projects'frightening' – contractor general's office
(Jamaica Observer) The Office of the Contractor General (OCG) says that the J$1.2 billion in cost overruns on Government projects last year was just the tip of the iceberg as the true figure could be "frightening".
The observation contained in the 25th annual report of the Office of the Contractor General to the Houses of Parliament for the 2011 calendar year ranked high amongst several "matters of concern to the OCG specifically as they pertain to construction-related contracts". According to the OCG, of the 410 construction projects monitored by the OCG on a sustained basis throughout the reporting year, 15 were affected by cost overruns which amounted to the J$1.2 billion, which it said was still "an exorbitant amount by any standard".
"Bearing in mind that the number of construction projects that were monitored by the OCG was minimal when compared to the number of projects that were undertaken by public bodies, overruns on projects generally should be cause for great concern. If the total for overruns on all government projects were to be captured and added the resulting amount may be very frightening, to say the least," the OCG said.
The anti-corruption body, while noting that numerous recommendations it has made have been ignored by successive administrations, warned that "stringent measures need to be set in place to guard against such occurrences".
"Where these occurrences could have been avoided the culpable parties should be held accountable and the appropriate penalties imposed. The same should also apply to instances of variations on projects," it said further.
The OCG — which is now under the leadership of Acting Contractor General Craig Beresford, who is holding the fort until a successor for former Contractor General Greg Christie — noted that other issues which occurred during the pre-contract state of various construction projects last year contributed to the overruns. Namely, he said, the failure of public bodies to properly review the project site, or to conduct soil tests resulted in Bills of Quantities and expensive architectural or engineering drawings having to be revised. In some cases it caused extensive time delays as remedial works had to be performed when soil tests came back with unfavourable results.
There were also delays because the requisite approvals or permits were not obtained prior to the works being carried out. "Post-contract issues of concern included poor project management and/or poor performance on the part of contractors and consultants which ultimately resulted in increased costs to the respective public bodies. There were also instances where contractors experienced delays in receiving payment from public bodies, owing to the unavailability of funds," the OCG complained.
In the meantime, the body said it remained concerned that government bodies continue to award contracts utilising the emergency contracting facility.
"In awarding contracts using this methodology, the public body bypasses the proper procurement procedure and thus, may not get value for money, or may otherwise engage an entity which is not registered with the National Contracts Commission (NCC), or which is registered to perform projects of a lower grade and as such is incapable of carrying out the job to the best possible standards," the OCG pointed out.
It said it was also aware of the deliberate use of the emergency facilities by government entities which were trying to avoid the scrutiny of regulatory agencies inclusive of the OCG and also to award contracts to preferred or 'connected' contractors.
Contracts that were awarded by public bodies in 2011 using the Emergency Contracting Methodology amounted to J$4.1 billion. Christie, in demitting office, lamented that the OCG was "a paper tiger and a toothless bulldog" because of the lack of political will on the part of politicians to approve the needed structural adjustments. He said he had "become extremely despondent about the deafening silence of leaders both within and without the political divide and the vacuous absence of the 'political will' that is now desperately required to decisively combat corruption in Jamaica and to empower and support the OCG in its efforts to ensure that its mandates are effectively discharged".

Hello gauge thread people!
I have a quick question for the experts. I've been reading up lately on switching the stock 42mm boost gauge for an omori 45mm gauge. The main reason is the readings would be in psi rather than kpa. I've read up on how to fit the omori gauge into the stock rubber housing, which brings up my question: would it be possible to just reuse the pre-existing oem wiring and vacuum lines with the new omori gauge or would it be necessary to replace these with the new supplied omori hardware?
Thanks, guys.

Industrious Trucking Entrepreneur Wins Award
TORONTO — Kumar Alagaratnam, the founder and CEO of Dynevor Express, has been named the best Entrepreneur of 2012 by the Canadian Tamils' Chamber of Commerce.
The presentation was made at the 14th annual Tamil CofC Awards Gala in late April in Toronto.
Dynevor Express — founded in 1999 — was named for the street that Alagaratnam lived on in north Toronto.
He came to Canada from Sri Lanka at 18 in 1988 and began working with NOMA's automotive lighting division.
At one point, he was a full-time student with a full-time job, but he also started up a single-vehicle across-town expediting service for an auto-parts manufacturers. "Two to three hours of sleep was enough for me," he says.
As demand for the expediting grew, so did Alagaratnam's reputation at NOMA until he had risen to the position of senior supervisor. When NOMA announced that it was moving its plants to Mexico, they invited Alagaratnam to move but he decided to stay in Canada to grow his cartage business.
Today, Dynevor Express employs about 150 staff with a fleet of more than 150 company power units and trailers. The lion's share of his haulage involves paper from Northern Ontario into the U.S.
For more on this industrious entrepreneur, watch for the July issue of Today's Trucking.

Jamb Extension?
2 Attachment(s)
I am about to replace our front and rear entry/exterior doors to the house. They are both in the same situation. We have a 'true' stone house which is studded out with 2x4 interior walls and the stone face seems to be 4-6" in depth. The current entry doors installed have a deeper jamb depth than what you really see around today. This is because the 2x4 framed interior wall plus the external stone facing is giving the entry opening more depth. I have two pictures attached as you can see. What are my options of getting a door? Do I order a normal sized door for 2x4 framed walls and add on jamb extensions? Or can I get pre-hung doors that already have extended jambs? Both of these doors will have screen/storm doors attached to the outside of the jambs.
In the pictures it looks like I see some nails in the stop. It looks like the doors may have extension jambs on them. You will be sure when you remove them. Since you have an in swing door you can get whatever jamb is available, but get it without casing. Then you will have to make new extension jambs. Use five quarter stock, (full 1" thick finish stock), if it will fit. There is another post in here about a gap at the bottom of a door and it has a few good replies about shimming doors.
Just get a standard door. It's very common and relatively simple to add on some jamb extension. Out here in San Diego it's become increasingly common to jamb extend with some MDF. It's easy to cut, looks good and comes primed ready-to-paint.
That being said, it's very susceptible to water and I'd recommend staying away from it if that's a concern. It's equally acceptable to jamb extend with anytype of hardwood, usually to match the type of casing you're using.
Additionally! It's possible to pick up a vinyl or synthetic material as well.
Honestly, you can jamb extend with almost anything you want, it's just usually easier if it can be cut down to size on a table saw.
They left you with quite a mess there.
I'm not sure why your door doesn't just go in with brick moulding against your framed wall. After that, the stone can stick out 2' if necessary.
Can you visualize that?
Otherwise, what shape are your jambs and threshold in? If they are in decent shape, I would just replace the door and leave them alone.
Can you post some more photos, particularly of the exterior looking at the door from straight on, and one from an angle?
Thanks for the input so far.
I'll snap a few more photos for you guys tomorrow.

Sorry for the late reply. Here are a few more photos of the door I'm about to replace. Let me know if you need any other closeups or photos of anything in particular.
Yeah, that is a mess.
Usually you set the door and bring the masonry to the door.
It looks like maybe the door opening was too large, so the space was filled with mortar.
Option-just replace the door and leave the jamb and head and threshold.
Option-remove the door, jamb extensions, etc and all the crapola and mortar around the opening. Now install a door in the opening on your 2x4 wall and make some custom brick moulding which extends out to the stonework.
Maybe the brick moulding will need to be 3" wide, I don't know. Maybe a different width on the top than on the side jambs. This can be dealt with.
This will obviate your need for jamb extensions, as the stone will just be there, uncovered.
I am redoing the room just inside that door. I want to replace this door rig up now while I'm redoing the room inside. I want it updated and done right even if that's doing some new masonry. The door isn't efficient and it's older. I don't want to make the room more efficient if i still have a leaky doorway.
If I were to install a normal door (jamb depth) and brick mould back to the jamb, where would I put the storm door? Up against the jamb edge just before the brick mould?
Do you have any example photos or diagrams of the brick moulding like in this situation?
I'm not very good at posting photos.
You have your door, and the jambs around it. On the exterior, there is brick moulding. This is designed so that you can mount the door to the house framing, and attach brick moulding flush up against the masonry. You set the door and lay the masonry to the brick moulding.
Then when the door (or window) needs replaced, you pop off the brick moulding and remove the door.
In your case, I would remove everything and see what you have. My guess is that your opening is 2-4 inches too big for the door plus brick moulding. You can make up this difference by attaching an additional 2x4 on each side, for example. Then mount your door in the opening, centered. You will see that there is some space between the brick moulding and the masonry.
You'll want to measure this space, determine your widest possible brick moulding. Make up some custom brick moulding and remove the stuff the door came with. Put it on your door and caulk any small gap remaining.
The storm door mounts to the brick moulding.
to me it looks like there was some trim that was around the door that was removed in order to put on that storm door. the brick line is pretty straight and even around the door. I have replaced doors that look just like that..in my instance the large jamb that you are seeing around the door was a 2x10 used for structure (much like they frame an opening in a poured basemen) it was a 2x10 jamb built and they bricked up to it.. was really weird and have only come across it once. it appears there is a brick lintel in the pictures but cant say for sure. in my case we had to replace the 2x material ripped down to allow for the brick molding on the outside we were able to widen the 2x's out far enough to allow for the same size door. it was a REAL treat took a 1 day job into a 2 day.
That is very possible and I should be able to get brick molding back onto the outside instead of filling it with mortar like they did.
I am starting to rip apart the room just inside as I'm redoing it with new insulation, electrical, and drywall. When I start to pull that out, I am going to pull the trim off the door and start to take it apart to see what I'm up against.
I think I can get a normal sized door for 2x4 framing, put in jamb extensions and brick molding, and attach the storm door on the outside with the jamb/brick molding.
I am also going to plan for anything that I can ahead of time. I do not want to have a door partially in over night.

The sky above Montana is home range to a pair of Predator drones. You can't see them. You won't hear them. But along the borderlands near Canada, you can look skyward and reasonably wonder if an unmanned fixed-wing machine is watching.
There are at least two unmanned aerial vehicles—commonly known as drones—that regularly operate within Montana airspace as part of an ongoing mission to monitor the U.S. border with Canada, according to recently released reports.
Operated by Customs and Border Protection, the two drones are based out of an airfield in Grand Forks, N.D., with addition basing options in both Great Falls and Havre. The aerial vehicles cost $18 million each to purchase and another $3,000 per hour to operate. They can fly for 27 hours straight and carry 4,000 pounds of surveillance equipment, including radar, color video and infrared cameras. With speed and raptor-like sight, they shrink the vast border terrain.
And if Customs and Border Protection gets what it wants, more unmanned machines are on the way.
In June, after an extended Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation, Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, released a batch of documents that detail drone operations around the United States. The agency's 2010 "Concept of Operations" report, though heavily redacted, offers an overall picture of the future of drones on the northern border.
According to the report, CBP hopes to have seven drones stationed on the U.S.-Canadian border by 2016 in an effort to expand its surveillance operations into the Pacific Northwest and the northeastern United States. The agency's long-term goal is to have 10 drones stationed on the northern border, capable of conducting surveillance flights 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The report also notes that CBP has considered arming its drones with "non-lethal weapons designed to immobilize" targets of interest. Taken together, these revelations have heightened suspicions of the agency's surveillance strategy.
"Customs and Border Protection needs to assure the public that it will not equip its Predator drones with any weapons, lethal or otherwise," says Jennifer Lynch, the staff attorney who spearheaded the Electronic Frontier Foundation lawsuit. "Without first addressing this issue, as well as the lack of oversight over its drone surveillance flights across a large part of this country, the agency should halt the expansion of its drone program."
The two drones that currently fly over Montana are primarily used to watch for illegal activity along the northern border. But that is not all they do. According to CBP flight logs, the agency regularly uses its drone fleet on behalf of other agencies, including the FBI, as well as state and local enforcement entities. In 2012, CBP's 10 drones carried out more than 250 missions for different agencies across the country.

Montana law enforcement is no stranger to federal involvement. Former Glacier County attorney Larry Epstein says that the Department of Homeland Security—of which Customs and Border Protection is a part—would often provide intelligence to local law enforcement in his county. In one instance, the drones helped bust a gang of car thieves. In another, they helped locate a missing woman's car.
Epstein, who served as county attorney from 1992 to 2010, is not certain whether CBP was using helicopters or drones or other technology in these instances. "But I know they were flying drones over my county," he says. "[The Department of Homeland Security] feels they have authority far from the border, but you will have to talk to them about that."
Despite repeated requests for a comment, CBP was not forthcoming with information about its drone program.
As a result of the growing drone presence in Montana, state legislators proposed a flurry of related bills during the 2013 legislative session. One bill, drafted by state Sen. Robyn Driscoll, D-Billings, sought to bar law enforcement from using as evidence any information collected by drones. It also prohibited state agencies from using drones armed with weapons of any sort. That bill was opposed by pro-drone politicians and law enforcement lobbyists, and died in committee.
Instead, SB 196, a bill proposed by Sen. Matt Rosendale, R-Glendive, gained traction. The bill prohibits local and state law enforcement from using data collected by drones as evidence in a court of law, unless a search warrant is first obtained. It has no jurisdiction over federal law enforcement, however, and contains no prohibition of weapon-carrying drones. In May, Gov. Steve Bullock signed SB 196 into law.
"To ban drones is totally unrealistic," says Epstein, the former county attorney, who also served as a lobbyist for state law enforcement interests during the 2013 legislative session. "The federal government already uses drones in Montana, and they are getting cheaper all the time. They aren't being used by local law enforcement now, but they will be."
The rising popularity of drones—whether used for law enforcement or other activities like wildfire suppression and crop management—is unwelcome news to some. With new revelations about government surveillance making headlines, privacy-minded citizens and civil libertarians argue that drone surveillance could be just another avenue of government and corporate snooping.
"Drones can go into remote areas or hover outside bedroom windows or fly into small confined spaces—they make it possible for a camera to watch every move you make," says Niki Zupanic, public policy director of the Montana ACLU. "Even for law-abiding citizens, that fact has a chilling effect on day-to-day life."This story was updated Friday, Oct. 4.

Discovered Wreckage from 9/11 Plane Believed to be Part of Wing
Authorities now say a 5-foot airplane part that's believed to be from one of the jets that struck the World Trade Center is from a wing.
Police say the rusted metal part from a Boeing 767 is a trailing edge flap support structure.
Investigators initially thought it was part of the landing gear because both pieces have similar-looking hydraulics.
Boeing confirms the part is from one of its planes but can't determine which flight. Both American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Fight 175 were Boeing 767s.
The chief medical examiner's office says its workers will sift soil at the site for human remains starting Tuesday.

text: Today I experienced my first and hopefully last malfunction with my Walther PPS .40. I have put approximately 500 rounds through this weapon which I purchased in 2010. Up to now I have been impressed with it, especially its size and accuracy and carry it frequently, but today after shooting 8 rounds through it, it malfunctioned. Bottom line, the large back strap dislodged from the frame causing the weapon to cease operation. I was unable to replace the back strap onto the grip and as a result the gun was useless. Good thing I was at the range and not in a fire fight and needing to defend myself. Once I returned home, I replaced the large back strap with the smaller one and the gun operated as advertised. I contacted Walther and was told that the large back strap more than likely became damaged and was in need of replacement. They didn't say if this was a common occurrence or not. Although the replacement cost was nominal, it is not comforting to know that the weapon could cease operation so easily. I am wondering if others have experienced similar problems.

Firebird International Raceway was fined $31,851 by the federal Environmental Protection Agency for hazardous waste shipping and reporting violations in 2006.
The raceway, south of Ahwatukee Foothills on the Gila River Indian Community, combined motor oil that had been contaminated with solvents and used motor oil that was supposed to be sent separately for recycling.
"Everything was shipped off as used oil," instead of shipping the contaminated oil to a special facility designed to handle it, said Kaoru Morimoto, an EPA hazardous waste compliance inspector in the agency's San Francisco office.
"When we brought it to their attention in 2006 they fixed the issues," Morimoto said. The fine was levied after several years of negotiations between the EPA and the raceway.
Firebird declined to speak about the issue.
The EPA said the violations posed little danger to the public or employees at the track.
"It's relatively minor since we're talking about the bulk of the material was used oil that was to be recycled. The hazardous waste was solvents. It was a regulatory issue," Morimoto said by telephone on Wednesday.
In 2004, Firebird paid a $11,036 fine from a 2002 violation where waste was improperly stored in containers that weren't properly labeled.
The raceway opened in 1983 and is nationally known. It hosts drag car races, the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving and drag boat races on the lake.

After going 3-3 on a road trip through Detroit and New York, the Baltimore Orioles return to Camden Yards to begin a six-game home stand against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays. The Orioles ended the trip on a high note by winning two-straight from the Yankees in the Bronx.
Through almost two weeks, one game separates the five clubs in the American League East standings. As Friday's games begin, no team in the division is above .500. And no team is overly concerned.
The series in New York saw the Baltimore bats come alive as they pounded out 32 hits in the final two games at Yankee Stadium. Catcher Matt Wieters has been hot with a .367 batting average and hits in all eight games in which he has played.
RHP Miguel Gonzalez gave the Orioles a quality start on Wednesday night in the 5-3 win over the Yanks. RHP Chris Tillman was excellent against the Tigers last Sunday, as well. Unfortunately, the seven other starts by Birds' pitchers have been less-than-stellar.
The Blue Jays come to Baltimore after going 3-3 at Rogers Centre against the Yankees and Houston Astros. Led by Melky Carbrera and Jose Bautista, the Blue Jays have hit 12 home runs as a team which is good for 4th in the majors.
Tillman, Bud Norris and Ublado Jimenez will take the hill for manager Buck Showalter and the Orioles with the task of keeping the Jays in the yard and providing, hopefully, some quality starts.
The Al East is expected to be competitive. So far, it's been that way and the best is yet to come.

Nurses protest Whitman in California governor campaign
By Jack Chang
Sacramento Bee
June 2, 2010
WESTMINSTER – After spending more than $80 million and building a major lead in public opinion polls, Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman may finally have met her match Tuesday in the parking lot of the Asian Garden Mall.
The billionaire candidate was delivering her stump speech to about 150 people at an open-air rally when about 50 protesters from the California Nurses Association and its schoolteacher allies interrupted by chanting and blowing whistles just a few dozen yards away.
Flanked by banners reading "Take Back Sac," Whitman finished her speech without acknowledging the protesters and later said she wouldn't let the unions stop her from talking about her plans for the state. But it was clear Tuesday that the nurses union was aiming to play the giant killer again this election year.
"We hope we got people to look at the other side and figure out what's going on," said Long Beach-based nurse Margie Keenan, who took part in the protest. "It's pretty sad. We're the working people of California. We're the ones who she's trying to cut our pensions. … That's firefighters, nurses, people on the front lines who take care of the community."
The unions will be repeating history if they manage to wound Whitman this election year. They proved to be powerful opponents six years ago when they took on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who at the height of his popularity upset nurses by delaying a plan to lower state nurse- patient staffing ratios.
About 15 nurses began what turned out to be a pitched battle by interrupting the Governor's Conference on Women in December 2004, inspiring Schwarzenegger to say from the stage, "They are the special interests. Special interests in Sacramento don't like me because I am always kicking their butts."
The nurses ended up doing the butt-kicking the next year by relentlessly following the governor around the state and helping defeat several government reform initiatives Schwarzenegger had put on the ballot and championed.
"Both the teachers and nurses in '05 showed that they could do almost a tea party-like organization and they could put in the money and advertising with a message California voters could respond to," said UC San Diego political science professor Thad Kousser.
"That'll be the true test of teacher union power, to see if they have the money and message to support (Democratic gubernatorial candidate) Jerry Brown's campaign," Kousser added.
Three independent expenditure committees, at least two of them heavily funded by unions, have been threatening to ramp up advertising and other activities against Whitman if she wins the Republican nomination.
So far, they've been hitting Whitman mostly in press releases on her ties to the investment firm Goldman Sachs and her record as CEO of online auction firm eBay.
Brown debuted his first TV ad Tuesday, slamming Whitman and the other major GOP hopeful, Steve Poizner, for running hours of negative ads.
Whitman said in Westminster that the unions wouldn't stop her from talking about her top priorities for the state, which include cutting state employee numbers and government spending.
"I'm just going to do the same thing over and over again, which is talking about what I think matters most to Californians, which is jobs and spending and fixing our K-12 education system," Whitman said.
The nurses association will strike again today by running a Spanish-language radio ad highlighting Whitman's ties to former Gov. Pete Wilson, who is her campaign co-chairman. Wilson championed a 1994 voter initiative targeting illegal immigrants and is considered by many to be a liability in Republican attempts to attract Latino supporters.
The unions have spent less time protesting Whitman rival Steve Poizner, who addressed several dozen people in Villa Park on Tuesday afternoon. The most recent USC/Los Angeles Times poll showed Poizner trailing Whitman by 24 percentage points.
"We're doing (protests) for the eventual GOP nominee," said nurses union spokesman Shum Preston. The nurses and teachers didn't show up at Poizner's event Tuesday.
That didn't stop Poizner from warning his Villa Park audience that the unions would be playing a big role this election year, even if those unions have been going after Whitman instead.
"The unions and the Democrats, they're going to want to win," Poizner said. "I mean, they're going to want to win in a big way. And they're going to say and do anything."Back to News »

Both gliadin and glutenin take important parts in bread making.
These proteins, which occur in the wheat grain in the form of gluten, are known as gliadin and glutenin.
Gluten is composed of two bodies called gliadin and glutenin.
The gliadin imparts elasticity and tenacity, or toughness, to the gluten, and the glutenin gives it strength.
A dough cannot be made of pure germ, because it contains so little of the gliadin and glutenin.

Toshiba has revealed more information on its forthcoming 4K TV range, including pricing and availability.
The Japanese manufacturer will launch three sizes of its Ultra High Definition L9300U range, which was initially unveiled in January at CES 2013.
US customers will be able to pick up the TV with a 58, 65, or 84-inch display this August, with prices starting from $4,999 for the smallest model, moving up to $6,999 and $16,999 for the 65 and 84-inch models respectively.
Each set will come with Toshiba's CEVO 4K Quad Dual Core processor, which will power the company's Resolution Restoration technology. This essentially brings non-4K content - so most of what you'll be watching on it, in other words - up to scratch on the super-sharp display.
Other exotic enhancements include Colour Gamut Enhancement (for better colour intensity) and Surface Brilliance Enhancement (which "brings images to life like never before," apparently).
Meanwhile, the L9300 range's ClearScan 240Hz refresh rate should ensure silky smooth motion, and the CQ Engine will enable you to tweak the picture settings to your heart's content. Ideal for home cinema enthusiasts seeking those optimal black levels.
Toshiba's Advanced Cloud TV feature offers personalised content discovery, better mobile phone connectivity and greater social interactivity. It'll feature a family calendar, a personal messaging service, photo albums, a streaming news service and more.
Wi-Fi, Miracast and WiDi are built in, so connectivity should be a doddle.
There's no news yet on a wider launch for the Toshiba L9300U range, but we'll keep you posted.
Next, catch up on the Best TVs of 2013

Half-Sized Dinner Plates Keep Dieters On Track [Pics]
An easy way to lose weight that doesn't involve constant calorie counting.
Staying in shape might sound as simple as eating less food but sometimes it can be hard to control portion sizes. Struggling with the same problem, a trio based in Indonesia decided to create HALVED – dinnerware that halves your meal portions.
Fajar Kurnia, Jeremy Chia and Jo Djauhari came up with idea one night over dinner when they decided to cut back on their food intake to try and stay in shape.
That idea soon gathered momentum, and after tracking down some local manufacturers for the dinnerware, the trio launched a Kickstarter to try and gather more funding for its production.
Portion control is a huge health problem, especially in a society that encourages super sizing most meals. HALVED could turn out to be a surprisingly simple way to shift your perspective on how much is enough when it comes to food intake.

Let me clarify one thing. While sets of characters are being
tentatively encoded using the surrogates (or in 10646 terminology,
are being encoded on Plane 1), these allocations are still
tentative, and are not part of the publication plans for the
next major release of the Unicode Standard (Version 3.0).
To standardize Plane 1 characters and keep the Unicode Standard
in synch with 10646, we are depending on the balloting and
publication of a *new* part of 10646: ISO/IEC 10646-2 (2001?) that
is still in working draft and has not even reached a CD (committee
draft) stage yet.
So when Unicode 3.0 appears, it will still not have any standardized
characters encoded with surrogates.
That said, the surrogates are coming soon after, and Werner's question
about TrueType cmap's is still an interesting one.

You know what you're doing at lunch, you know which fork to use. So you watch and see what the other guy does. It's a chance to get to know him, this meal you're sharing, and you will judge him by how he eats and drinks. And how he uses his time in the hour you're together. How he gets around to his point.
And surrounding you, if you've chosen wisely, is a machine working to allow that to happen, striving to eliminate surprises and distractions, the hiccups that could derail the whole thing. After all, Ted Rogers and Jim Shaw Jr. might never have finished carving up Canada's cable market at Scaramouche if there'd been a problem with Jim Jr.'s steak.
No one knows exactly how many millions of dollars a year get spent on restaurant lunches in downtown Toronto, but if the 100,000 people who work in the two-block radius of the financial district each went someplace nice to eat twice a week-that would be a few hundred million bucks right there. Expand that to include the rest of the city's office towers, then add the business districts across Canada, and the business lunch becomes a highly competitive, billion-dollar industry.
No doubt that's why the landscape of Toronto's restaurant scene has changed so much in the past 20 years. Back in the late '80s, an executive who wanted a stellar lunch had a choice between Winston's or Hy's. There were other restaurants, but not really. Then Jump came along in 1993 and changed everything by showing how to make lunch work for the younger bloods-a little less old-boy gentility, a bit more New York hustle. Now, more and more players are invading the downtown core-the Keg's $6-million York Street flagship, the 10,500-square-foot Ki, the restaurants of SIR Corp., including Reds and Far Niente, and even an upstart named Vertical, run by a couple of guys named Joe and Gary. Because there's money to be made here, for the ones who know what they're doing. Canoe, the most prestigious of them all, pulled in $8 million last year alone.
And when there's money like that involved, there are secrets. And there are stories, like these two.
CANOE: 10:30 a.m. It's staff briefing time at the flagship of Oliver Bonacini Restaurants. Fifty-four floors up at the top of the TD Bank Tower, the morning light ekes in through the south- and west-facing windows as about a dozen servers and server assistants gather at a table near the raw bar that divides the dining room from the kitchen. In Canada, OB stands alone among restaurant groups. With six locations, including Biff's and Jump downtown, it's not the biggest-SIR Corp., for example, owns 36 restaurants-but it's arguably the most meticulously run, and the most attuned to the needs of a corporate clientele. Bonacini, a former chef, oversees mostly the aesthetic side of things, Oliver the financial. And following Oliver's dictate that their restaurants be run like proper businesses, OB has established systems and procedures covering everything down to each table's south-facing salt.
The briefings, for instance, have a dual function. As they prepare the staff for what to expect in the upcoming meal, they also reinforce OB's core values, the passions for food and service laid out in pages 7 to 25 of the company handbook. So Canoe staff will engage in discussions of the day's specials. If a new dish is being introduced, there will be a tasting. Recent staff excursions to a market or winery will be reviewed. And always, because it is a modern dining trend, cheese will be discussed. So much cheese-truffle-flecked Pecorino Tartufello, stinky Italian Valtaleggio, aged goat cheese from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. As all this unfolds, managers watch the response. The mood at Canoe is generally lighthearted-that comes largely from the general manager, Scott Hall, a man of twinkling humour-but the degree of engagement or disengagement of the serving staff is a topic in management meetings. Today, someone notices that as Barry, the sous-chef, describes the specials, no one is taking notes. Tomorrow, perhaps as a consequence, learning and presenting the specials will be a waiter's responsibility.
One other major discussion point comes up at the briefings-the important guests expected for lunch. Some restaurants call their regulars VIPs, but at Canoe and Jump, the term is NB, for nota bene. Canoe uses OpenTable reservation software, which helps staff keep tabs on NBs and their preferences-if you've dined at Canoe three or four times and prefer the foie gras without walnut pickle, they'll know it-and before each briefing Hall gets a printout of the NBs to expect. But it isn't just a list of names Hall recites to the staff; it's corporate affiliations and known interests- "He's a competitive runner..." "He's a lawyer at…" "He's a vice-president with…" -because Canoe Googles its NBs, a fact that one manager jokes is "kind of creepy."Report Typo/Error

- Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
- 25-30 assorted radishes, such as French breakfast, watermelon and daikon—quartered or sliced so that all are 1/2 inch thick (5 cups)
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- Zest and juice of 1/2 navel orange
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Preheat a water bath to 181°. In a medium bowl, season one-third of the radishes with salt and white pepper. Transfer them to a 1-gallon vacuum-pack bag, arranging them in a single layer, and vacuum-seal. Submerge the bag in the water bath and cook at 181° for 20 minutes. Fill a bowl with ice water. Transfer the bag to the ice bath; let cool.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice with the orange zest and juice, shallot, sugar and vinegar. Whisk in 1 cup of oil; season with salt and white pepper.
In a grill pan, heat a thin layer of oil. Add one-third of the radishes and cook over moderately high heat, turning, until browned and just tender, 7 minutes; transfer to plates with the sous vide radishes and remaining fresh radishes, drizzle with the vinaigrette, sprinkle with salt and serve.

What do you guys think about the idea of an animated TV or web series by Telltale?
It would be a different group of survivors to Rick's or Lee/Clem's, and set in the comic/game universe, not the character annihilating TV-Universe. Also, Not on AMC, because fuck those guys.
What do you guys think? What if they were all short stories briefly showing the lives of the characters of the games prior to and after their involvement. Lets say they do 5 concurrent stories, so an hour episode you get 20 minutes of each character and their story, then after a few weeks some of their stories conclude just before they reach TWD game's story, and the show uses that individual 20m chunk of time to explore a different character.
Some ideas: (Please contribute your own ideas, Non-determinate entries only, so Vince and the guy he chose to not shoot would be a No No as in invalidates the choice made by the player.):
Nate and his friend in the days before Eddie shot him. I think Nate was unbalanced before, but what pushed him over the edge was the death of his friend, this would be great to explore.
The girl who shot Omid. I would actually like to see an outline of the events that led her up to that point for some reason. I'm not really sure why, I just want to know more about Omid's killer for some reason.
Omid and Christa before Lee's group.
Ben and his friends, the fate of his class, etc.
Mark and his time before and in the airforce base.
A 20m mini episode showing how Doug saved Carley before episode 1 of the game.
A deeper exploration of Molly and her sister in Crawford, and perhaps afterward.
Lee's Family. I don't want it to show up in the game, as I like the feeling of Lee never knowing (and we all feel a little bit like Lee when we are playing the game), but I would like to see the tragic fate of his family explored in
And perhaps some season 2 characters as well: Sam/his human family, Luke, Carlos and Sarah, Nick and Pete, Alvin and Rebecca.
OH Crowning Idea: an animated hour long arc (3 20m chunks, 1 each week) gradually showing the 16 months the Mystery character (I thought you were dead!) spent searching for Clementine.
Any good (non-determinant) Ideas? What do you guys think about the Idea of a Telltale TWD animated series (Not on AMC) (Set in the comic and game universe)(Not about Rick or Clem/Lee)?

(Of course, perl does look like a password hash sometimes...)
This is presumed to be fiction since the shadow file is a readable table of data not an executable script and normally readable by superuser and certain groups.
Shadow files may be copied/restored from backup or pwconv.
I do not know of a case where shadow is executable only.
Lux sit
(Of course, perl does look like a password hash sometimes...)
Reading the spec (its a little ambiguous) the user has rwx on the /etc/passwd file.
The execute on the shadow is a red herring.
I would lay down the priv escalation pwnage by editing the /etc/passwd file, and changing my uid to 0
Im feeling pretty smug right now but since its hypothetical I will not be doing the root dance.
I have recently suceeded by changing the UID of my user to root and my group also, then I was root when I logged in to my account.
This was a really "special" linux (Synology Server) distribution so I don't know if that would really work on other distros and I kind of doubt it.
Its not common, I doubt any modern popular distros are shipped this way.
I have never seen a writeable /etc/passwd in practice, but if I did then changing UID is effective for privilege escalation purposes.
A more likely attack is where other files on the operating system are SUID Root, or executed with root privs but are writeable by normal users. The user modifies the file to perform an action of their choice as root (add user/get hashes).
I have found quite a few local privilege escalations this way on linux/unix systems including stuff by large vendors of very expensive commercial software. These attacks, along with symlink attacks are the way I normally aim to gain root privs once on a linux/unix box if my remote exploit got me to a limited user.

cp = ContourPlot[x^2 -y^2, {x,.001,2}, {y,.001,2.72}]
cp contains only a matrix of heights from which the polygons and
lines are constructed. It also has the option
MeshRange -> {{0.001, 2.}, {0.001, 2.72}}.
The only effect of
cp/{a_, b_} -> {a, Log[b]}
on cp is to change this option to
MeshRange -> {{0.001, 2.}, {-6.90776, 1.00063}}
which, in the display, merely changes the y-axis ticks, as you found.
However if you generate the contour lines and polygons (used for
shading) explicitely
gcp = Graphics[cp]
lgcp = gcp/{a_?NumberQ, b_} -> {a, Log[b]}
will alter these elements as you want.
(You can see the internal form of cp... by using InputForm[cp] ...)

I seem to be "Riffing on Raymond" more and more these days, I'm not sure why, but..
Raymond Chen's post today on the type model for Win64 got me to thinking about one comment he made in particular:
Notice that in these inter-process communication scenarios, we don't have to worry as much about the effect of a changed pointer size. Nobody in their right mind would transfer a pointer across processes: Separate address spaces mean that the pointer value is useless in any process other than the one that generated it, so why share it?
Actually, there IS a really good reason for sharing handles across processes. And the Win64 team realized that and built it into the product (both the base team and the RPC team). Sometimes you want to allocate a handle in one process, but use that handle in another. The most common case where this occurs is inheritance – when you allocate an inheritable handle in one process, then spawn a child process, that handle is created in the child process as well. So if a WIn64 process spawns a Win32 process, all the inheritable handles in the Win64 process will be duplicated into the Win32 process.
In addition, there are sometimes reasons why you'd want to duplicate a handle from your process into another process. This is why the DuplicateHandle API has an hTargetProcessHandle parameter. One example of this is if you want to use a shared memory region between two processes. One way of doing this would be to use a named shared memory region, and have the client open it. But another is to have one process open the shared memory region, duplicate the handle to the shared memory region into the other process, then tell the other process about the new handle.
In both of these cases (inheritable handles and DuplicateHandle), if the source process is a 64bit process and the target process is a 32bit process, then the resulting handle is appropriately sized to work in the 32bit process (the reverse also holds, of course)
So we've established that there might be a reason to move a handle from one process to another. And now, the RPC team's part of the solution comes into play.
RPC (and by proxy DCOM) defines a data type call __int32644. An int3264 is functionally equivalent to the Win32 DWORD_PTR (and, in fact, the DWORD_PTR type is declared as an __int3264 when compiled for MIDL).
An __int3264 value is an integer that's large enough to hold a pointer on the current platform. For Win32, it's a 32 bit value, for Win64, it's a 64 bit value. When you pass an __int3264 value from one process to another it either gets truncated or extended (either signed or unsigned)..
__int3264 values are passed on the wire as 32bit quantities (for backwards compatibility reasons).
So you can allocate a block of shared memory in one process, force dup the handle into another process, and return that new handle to the client in an RPC call. And it all happens automagically.
Btw, one caveat: In the current platform SDK, the HANDLE_PTR type is NOT RPC'able across byte sizes – it's a 32bit value on 32bit platforms and a 64bit value on 64bit platforms, and it does NOT change size (like DWORD_PTR values do). The SDK documentation on process interoperability is mostly correct, but somewhat misleading in this aspect. It says "The 64-bit HANDLE_PTR is 64 bytes on the wire (not truncated) and thus does not need mapping" – I'm not going to discuss the "64 bytes on the wire" part, but most importantly it doesn't indicate that the 32-bit HANDLE_PTR is 32 bits on the wire.

Free Organic Coffee at Tastea in Costa Mesa until Friday
If you have a habit of trawling the boba shop-riddled landscape of Rowland Heights, you might have come across one called Tastea. And if you actually drive up from the Costa Mesa area to get to it, or the existing one in Garden Grove, you may not have to anymore. The mini chain has opened a store in Costa Mesa at 1175 Baker Street, Suite E-21, and to make people aware of its existence in an area that's, well, not entirely boba-friendly, today until Friday, June 13th, it will be giving out "free organic mini coffees" from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m.
It will hold its grand opening on Saturday, June 14th.
Here's a cut-and-paste job I did on a press release I got on what they actual serve:
The Costa Mesa store will serve customer favorites like "Peach Me Sweetea (peach and strawberry Tea with real bits of peaches and strawberries)", "Ooh La La (coconut and pineapple smoothie with real strawberry bits)", "Taro Milk Tea" and even the "Karate Chopped Chicken (Tastea's version of a marinated popcorn chicken)". Tastea offers a wide-array of non-dairy drinks that are Vegan friendly. Additionally, the company serves a nice international display of Yummy Add-Ons that include black jelly, coconut jelly, egg pudding, red beans, and peaches.
So go. Get your complimentary drink, ya freeloaders!

Target: Attorney General Greg Abbott
Goal: Condemn Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott for moving quickly on the state's new discriminative voter ID law.
State voter ID laws swept through this country during the 2012 election season. Most of the laws required voters to have an ID with them when they vote. These laws are controversial because they are a way of preventing minority communities, who may not have access to facilities where they can obtain photo IDs, from voting, and minorities tend to vote Democratic. The voter ID laws were overwhelmingly passed in states with Republican leadership.
After the Supreme Court struck down the heart of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott moved quickly to make it clear he plans to implement the Texas voter ID law. He said in a statement, "With today's decision, the state's voter ID law will take effect immediately." The Supreme Court got rid of Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, which defined the states that the federal government had oversight for voting. Texas was one of those states, and now congress has to redefine which states the federal government has oversight over.
The Texas voter ID law requires voters to show a photo ID. This is not allowed by the Justice Department because it is a discriminatory requirement that deters many underprivileged communities from voting. Attorney General Abbott also stated that "Redistricting maps passed by the Legislature may also take effect without approval from the federal government." His plans for the new voter ID law and redistricting will negatively affect minority representation. Condemn Attorney General Abbott by signing the petition below.
Dear Attorney General Abbott,
The right to vote is still an issue in the U.S. even though the Supreme Court struck down important parts of the Voting Rights Act. The voter ID laws passed by states during the 2012 election season were passed in order to make it more difficult for minorities to vote. Republican leaders have said that the voter ID laws were passed to prevent voter fraud, but really they just prevent equal representation from being achieved.
Your intention to implement the new voter ID law in Texas will hurt many minorities. The Justice Department does not even allow photo IDs to be required in order to vote. The law is discriminative because it creates barriers that are in the way of the right to vote. The Supreme Court voting down parts of the Voting Rights Act will already hurt minorities when it comes to voting.
Every citizen deserves the right to vote, and as a country we have been heading backwards regarding voting rights. Equal representation is something that we are proud of when we call ourselves Americans. Infringing upon this ideal will only hurt what this country stands for.
