Rot in jail for years before a 'trial'? Oh hell yes we'd do that to him.
Embarassed the powers that be... They got a hardon for him now.
Step in to my parlour,

Maher Arar was never "prosecuted". Extraordinary rendition is extra-judicial.
An ordinary deportation to UK - which has no republican constitution and is under Crown Justice - that would have him nicely "dealt".
To communicate the fact that they *really* aren't going to prosecute Assange?
They can't **promise** because US leaders do not know what new information could be revealed. It would be irresponsible and unprofessional for US Attorneys to say otherwise.
They can ***theoretically*** be, you know, actually telling the truth.
What I want to know is, under what conditions would the US be able to communicate this to your satisfaction?
What can the US Attorneys do that wont elicit a "Oh...yeah...SURE...they won't prose
Put your tinfoil hat away, he was freely walking the streets of the UK, until he exhausted his appeals in the Swedish case. Say what you will about Assange (I've said plenty), he's not a complete moron, the fact that he waited until he ran out of appeals spokes volumes about what he's really worried (Sweden) about. If he was worried about extradition to the United States why didn't he run the embassy sooner? Ditto for concerns about being charged in the UK.
Very sad that someone can be granted political asylum and *still* Sweden refuses to do a simple interview. Speaks volumes for the real intent of Sweden [wikipedia.org] (hint: nothing to do with justice, all about locking people away for embarrassing those in power and bringing some long needed transparency into the public realm.)
Admiral Ackbar gives his opinion on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F4qzPbcFiA [youtube.com]
If he or Edward Snowden ever land on American soil again, they'll be thrown in jail before the TSA even has a chance to harass them. If they can't get him them on espionage charges, they'll trump up some other charges (probably along the lines of rape, child molestation, puppy abuse, etc. to discredit them to boot), or just not even bother with charges at all and send them straight down to Cuba for indefinite detention.
They've committed the greatest crime of all, embarrassing the U.S. Government. And that carries a mandatory life sentence with no trial.
Embarassed the powers that be... They got a hardon for him now.
Question: how can NSA employees travel outside the USA without fear of being arrested for espionage? What did Assange do that the NSA does not do? Spying on the communications of national leaders -- that's not a criminal offense in, for example, Germany?
[You know what goes here.]
Of course we do!
Mon Mothma: [to Restaurant waiter] I'll have the calamari.
Admiral Ackbar: Well. I guess I'll have the insensitive bitch. With a side of fuck you!
[Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II (2008) (TV)]
Well, I guess the Washington Post can say whatever they like.
Please accept my personal guarantee that if Julian Assange were to arrive in New York on Christmas Day, he would be immediately arrested and charged with all sorts of obscure charges. He would then rot in a cell for several years(~6) before seeing the inside of a court room.
I guarantee it.
- Not George Zimmerman
Try Snowden.
Why are they saying Assange won't be prosecuted:
Because government lawyers said they could not do so without also prosecuting U.S. news organizations and journalists, according to U.S. officials.
If Snowden hadn't been duped by Glenn Greenwald he could have released this info in a way that would let him **be a free man**....because of the US laws for protecting journalists are the strongest in the world.
Freedom of Speech works if you do you homework on how the law is worded.
Snowden coul
Because word of law has significant impact on supralegal organizations and their actions...
I don't understand what supralegal organization to which you refer:
is it Wikileaks? the military/industrial complex? "Obama"?
The organizations that handled the whole "extraordinary rendition" for example. As well as various alphabet-soup agencies that can present complex legal arguments in front of kangaroo courts to explain in great detail why they don't have to care about particular laws.
Obama/DoJ also promised they wouldn't go after Cannabis dispensaries and growers in medical states but that was a lie.
Of all the current administration's lies, that is the one you pick? How about the promises to protect whistle-blowers?
You now have to go the the Wayback Machine [archive.org] to even find it.
"Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process."
[Politician] said in the initial campaing that [insert anything here]. See how that ended.
There, fixed that for you.
What will happen is that the other part now will win and we will be saying the identical same thing in a few years, after we realize that the promises were a lie.
Then we will vote for the opposition (or not) and the same will happen.
He is still wanted in the UK for skipping bail. Even if the US were not lying he still can't just walk out of the embassy.
It depends on what's actually going on. If the whole extradition was orchestrated by the US and the rape charges really are a conspiracy then just because the US wouldn't prosecute him there doesn't mean they're going to drop that avenue.
If it isn't a conspiracy by the US then one of two things can happen:
If Sweden drops the charges then he'll probably get a menial punishment for skipping bail, not likely to be excessive (you can kill someone whilst speeding way over the limit and avoid jail in the UK for crying out loud).
If Sweden doesn't drop the charges then Assange will probably stay in the embassy until Ecuador gets fed up of him, until Sweden starts being reasonable and allows questioning to occur within the embassy (something they can do, despite the lies otherwise, because they've done exactly that in the past), until he gives up and let's Sweden's obscure (in)justice system have it's way with him, or until he dies.
So this whole unlikely to be prosecuted thing may just be weasel words for "We're going to pretend we're nice people that believe in justice because we don't believe he's going anywhere for years anyway and say he's safe from prosecution, but we'll use the qualifier 'unlikely' just in case he does somehow get free so that we can change our mind without having lied". I suppose technically it may be a rather weak attempt by the US government to try and add weight to their pretense that there's no conspiracy against him (assuming there even is) so that Sweden and the UK can pretend he's just paranoid for no reason and that he should come out of the embassy and let them have their way with him.
Either way none of it changes Assange's situation in the slightest so I don't know what the point in the statement is. If the US really wants to change the status quo they need to make a more explicit statement along the lines of "Our inquiry has found that we have absolutely no grounds to prosecute Julian Assange, as he has broken no US law, and therefore we will not be seeking his extradition or prosecution under any circumstances related to the files leaked and published by his organisation to date". It wouldn't mean they wouldn't of course, but at least they'd have to face the consequences politically. The fact they wont issue such an explicit statement and are just putting out meaningless sound bites implies to me that they're just trying to muddy the waters on the issue and trying to win some good will without actually doing anything to deserve it.
Skipping bail is criminal contempt of court in the UK
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1976/63 [legislation.gov.uk]
Penalties are severe:
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/sentencing_manual/contempt_of_court/ [cps.gov.uk]
An immediate custodial sentence is the only appropriate sentence to impose upon a person who interferes with the administration of justice, unless the circumstances are wholly exceptional
He would have been (was?) allowed to argue his case that he shouldn't be extradited to Sweden due to the subsequent risk of extradition t
The site you linked is merely the CPS' information on the issue, that's the Crown Prosecution Service - i.e. the people who advocate primarily for the police, so they're going to overhype the seriousness of laws because they want to deter people from breaking them as it makes their job easier.
But regardless, even the link you posted alone says the maximum penalty for skipping bail is 6 months in jail. That'd likely be applied as a suspended sentence (i.e. no actual jail time) or even just written off altoge
Better than "definite" detention and torture? "Infinite"?
I was thinking of the "sufficiently large values"...
"You can't hold me for an indefinite time!"
"Fine, we are holding you for 100 years, or until we let you off earlier..."
The cake is a lie!
Also I am pretty sure Cookie Monster would be a billionaire should he ever decided to sue the Internets on infringement on his copyrighted saying...
Just like all those people in GITMO. They haven't been charged with any crimes either.
Ask the people in Gitmo how their prosecution is proceeding. And while you are at it ask all the people grabbed by Special Rendition about their prosecution status.
The US has demonstrated that there is a huge difference between holding someone and prosecuting them. So while the Justice Department may correctly say that prosecution is unlikely to occur, that in no means ensures that someone won't suffer any consequences.
I'm sure visiting the US is the only thing He's been able to think about since being holed up in that embassy. Bet he can't wait to experience that fresh Walmart smell and glue his brain to the red ticker on Fox News again. AND, since the US has such a world renown affection for whistleblowers, I'm sure he'd be perfectly safe. He should really take this deal.
From a legal standpoint, no, the DOJ can't prosecute someone for publishing information. That was covered in the Pentagon Papers cases 40 years ago. But you have to remember the reason he's holed up in an embassy. The government can find an assortment of other bullshit reasons to prosecute you. Any minor discrepancies on your customs forms when you entered the country? Tax problems? Ever pirated an MP3 or movie? If they want to get you, they can and will find a reason. For all the crimes that Al Cap
"Welcome to my parlor," said the spider to the fly...
There are no rape charges, he is wanted for questioning, which already occurred whilst he was still in Sweden at the time the incidents occurred, then given permission to leave.
The questioning could occur at the Ecuador embassy anytime, Sweden chooses not to do so.
It would also send a good message on "what we do with you fuckers who dare to tell our dirty secrets to the public".
But he's guilty of the Worst Crime Possible in the United States: embarrassing politicians. They'll never just let him get away with it.
The threat of prosecution is at least a small comfort, because it sort of implies they might actually play by some rule book. But if prosecution is off the table, that leaves drone interdiction, indefinite detention, or torture as the only options.
If I were Mr. Assange, the words "no prosecution" would send a cold shiver down my spine.
Don't forget suicide.
Sorry, I mean "suicide"
Good point, I left that out. Yes, also "suicide" and single vehicle "accident."
currently at +4 Interesting, should be +2500 Insighful
In a land of a million laws, we're all criminals. The most any of us can hope for is that prosecution is "unlikely".
So come on for a visit, Julian. We promise we probably, maybe won't arrest you the second your plane lands.
Indeed. It would take airplane minutes to get to the terminal after landing. That is a lot of seconds!
Likely to punish in several other indirect ways? Very much so.
I've said this several times on Slashdot (and have the moderation scars to prove it).
Assange will not be prosecuted by the US.
However I would be very surprised if he were ever to be granted a Visa if he applied. Which I really doubt he would ever do.
It also completely destroys the conspiracy theories that the Swedish extradition would be a short stopover on the way to the US. Aside from the EU laws that this would break, the US really has nothing to gain and a lot to lose from this sort of action.
As bunches have already said here, the real issue is not whether the US prosecutes Assange, but whether the US (or any of its territories or non-annexed lackeys) punishes Assange with (or far more likely without) a Speedy And Public Trial.
Also, given that the US clearly has no respect for privacy or whistleblower protection, that statement by DoJ sounds less like a reassurance and much more like a less-than-implicit threat to other journalists. "What happened to Assange could happen to any of you TrueCrypt
What do you expect the US to do? Kiss and make up? Issue him a Congressional Gold Medal?
Assange certainly has not behaved towards the US is a friendly manner. You are expecting the US to be nice towards him anyway?
Why shouldn't it go after Assange within the framework of the various sanctions and actions legally available to a soveriegn power? The guy is a jerk anyway and everyone knows it.
I fully expect the US to put Assange on its persona non gratia list and tell him to kiss off at every opportunity. And
The cheque is in the mail
Of course I'm on the pill
We won't prosecute Assange
1. As far as I know, the DoJ hasn't brought legal proceedings against any of the people detained at Guantanamo.
2. The President has publicly claimed (and regularly exercises) the right to order anyone, anywhere, to be killed any time he chooses. Just because he deems it fit.
So I wouldn't put too much store in anything the DoJ says. Because, you know, they don't have the final say.
System checkpoint complete.

A delightful video recreates the famous "marshmallow experiment," a study on delayed gratification originally conducted in 1972 by psychologist Walter Mischel of Stanford University (now Columbia).
As the video shows, an adult offers a young child a marshmallow and tells the child that s/he may eat it; but if s/he waits until the adult gets back, s/he will get another marshmallow. The study then analyzed how long each child resisted the temptation and later whether or not doing so was correlated with future success.
The kids' struggles to hold out for the extra marshmallow are poignant and hit home with all of us.
As in the video, Mischel observed that some children would "cover their eyes with their hands or turn around so that they can't see the tray, others start kicking the desk, or tug on their pigtails, or stroke the marshmallow as if it were a tiny stuffed animal," while others simply ate the marshmallow as soon as the adult left the room.
Of the over 600 children who took part in the experiment, only a small minority of them ate the marshmallow right away. Of those who attempted to delay, one-third deferred gratification long enough to get the second marshmallow, with older children being more likely to hold out. Since Mischel's daughters knew and grew up with many of the original test subjects, Mischel later came to suspect (and later establish) that there was a correlation between the results of the marshmallow test and the success of the children many years later.
Despite the myriad of books and papers written about retirement planning, the bottom line is that we are all pretty much just like the kids in the marshmallow experiment. If we are able to delay gratification — save more/spend less — we will be far more successful later. But doing so consistently is really hard. Good retirement planning requires us to keep putting money aside for decades instead of spending it for (seemingly?) important or fun stuff now in order to fund an unknown, uncertain and often far-off future. Not surprisingly, we aren't very good at this hyperbolic discounting.
This isn't news of the man bites dog variety, of course. We're well aware of what we should do. Unfortunately, our behavioral biases conspire to convince us that indulging now ("just this once") is okay. Indeed, our brains are such incredible rationalization machines that we readily believe not only that "it's okay," we can even convince ourselves that we are somehow doing the right thing by saving less and spending more right now. After all, I (or my kids) really need this marshmallow or the researcher may not be coming back or we may be dead by the time s/he comes back with the second marshmallow. The possibilities are endless.
Marketers are well aware of our weaknesses, of course (see below).
They can make eating the marshmallow right now seem like the only plausible option. It is certainly the option that's the most fun.
Retirement planning deals with many complicated issues. But its essential element — the key to retirement planning — is remarkably and deceptively simple. Will we eat the marshmallow right away — or not?

BUSSEY — Having the opportunity to clean the taste of a loss on the same day is something every team wants — Lynnville-Sully High's Hawks had that on Saturday.
The Hawks lost their second match of the Twin Cedars Invitational to Pleasantville, 21-12, 22-20. They had shaken off host Twin Cedars 21-8, 8-21, 15-7 to start the tournament.
Lynnville-Sully got past Colfax-Mingo High's Tigerhawks 21-13, 21-17 to take second in the pool.
"We earned the opportunity to play Pleasantville in the championship match. The girls were fired up to take on Pleasantville again," said Heather James, Hawk head coach. "I'm very pleased with how this team performed. They struggled earlier in the day but at the end were able to play their game."
Their game came strong against Pleasantville in the tournament title match. The Hawks defeated the Trojans 21-15, 21-18. Serving was a big factor in the game. Cassie Cullen (8-of-8), Jade Van Rees (7-of-7), Shelby Davis (8-of-8) and Lyndsay Terpstra (5-of-5) provided the force at the service line. Cullen and Davis each had two ace serves, and Van Rees had one ace.
At the net, Cullen served up 10 kills, Davis had six kills, Van Rees and Macy Lanser each had two kills. Van Rees was credited with 15 set assists, and Lanser had three assists. Defensively, Cullen came up with nine digs, Terpstra had seven digs, Van Rees and Davis each had four digs.
In pool play:
Lynnville-Sully beat Twin Cedars with a strong first set, then had a tough second set as Twin Cedars picked up its game, according to James. The Hawks won the third set to claim the match. Van Rees had two ace serves, seven digs, 10 set assists, and one kill. Terpstra came up with 12 digs, while Cullen had 10 digs and eight kills. Lysandra James put down four kills, and Davis had two kills. Davis also served an ace, and had fiv edigs. Taylor Vander Leest had 11 digs.
"We struggled to return serves against one of Pleasantville's servers in the pool match. We didn't play well in the first set, but played better and fought hard in the second set," James said. "They have a really good player that could hit anywhere on the court and dig up anything we would give her."
In the first match with Pleasantville, Cullen downed nine kills, and came up with 10 digs for the Hawks. Van Rees was 6-of-6 serving with one ace, while Kristen Van Der Wilt was 9-of-9 at the service line. Terpstra had an ace serve. VanRees made seven digs, Vander Leest had nine digs, Terpstra had six digs, and Van Der Wilt had five digs. Van Rees was credited with 12 set assists. Van Der Wilt hit three kills.
Against Colfax-Mingo, Cullen was 13-of-13 serving with five aces. The Hawks did not miss many serves in the match. Van Rees put up 19 set assists. Vander Leest led the net attack for Lynnville-Sully with eight kills, followed by Davis and Cullen with six kills apiece. Davis was credited with 12 digs, followed by Cullen with nine digs and Vander Leest with six digs.

Time Warner Cable Stands Up To Automated Copyright Infringement Filing Factory
from the well,-there's-one... dept
During that time, we noted that US Copyright Group claimed that it had gone from having one ISP cooperating to "75%" of ISPs cooperating. This was a surprise, because years back, ISPs had been reluctant to cooperate with similar efforts. So the numbers seemed questionable. Either way, apparently Time Warner Cable is not at all interested in working with US Copyright Group. Instead, TWC went to the court to protest US Copyright Group's efforts:
"Copyright cases involving third-party discovery of Internet service providers have typically related to a plaintiff's efforts to identify anonymous defendants whose numbers rank in the single or low double digits," wrote the cable company. "By contrast, plaintiff in this case alone seeks identifying information about 2,049 anonymous defendants, and seeks identifying information about 809 Internet Protocol addresses from TWC...."Pretty interesting, given Time Warner Cable's connection to Time Warner, which you would think would make it a bit more open to working with US Copyright Group. The article at Ars Technica also notes that Comcast and Cablevision also aren't thrilled about US Copyright Group's subpoenas. That's three of the largest ISPs out there, so I'm curious about the 75% of ISPs who are supposedly "fully cooperating." It sounds like that claim is about as legitimate as many of the original filings over infringement on a work who was not registered at the time of infringement.
"If the Court compels TWC to answer all of these lookup requests given its current staffing, it would take TWC nearly three months of full-time work by TWC's Subpoena Compliance group, and TWC would not be able to respond to any other request, emergency or otherwise, from law enforcement during this period," said the filing. "TWC has a six-month retention period for its IP lookup logs, and by the time TWC could turn to law enforcement requests, many of these requests could not be answered."

I wrote a post about the fact that, when it comes to delivering a message, style is as important as content. I got a lovely email in return from Greg Joyce, at Willoughby Films:
I couldn't agree more with your point, that conservatives need to make an emotional (maybe "entertaining" would be a better word) argument rather than the intellectual case that hasn't been serving so well lately.
So here's "Family Meeting." Only three minutes long — I hope you enjoy it.
I didn't just enjoy it — I loved it. The video works at two levels. First, the family meeting sees a family struggle to frame a tough message about health care and insurance issues. And then there's the end. . . . Uh, I'll stop here. I don't want to give it away.

MGP Ingredients, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results
2012-11-08 21:45 ET - News Release
ATCHISON, Kansas, Nov. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MGP Ingredients, Inc. (Nasdaq:MGPI) (the "Company") today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Net income of $418,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared favorably with a net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Net sales for the third quarter were approximately even with the same quarter a year ago. Significantly higher beverage alcohol sales were offset by a reduction in sales for certain industrial alcohol applications. The recently acquired Lawrenceburg, Indiana, distillery continues to increase production of premium spirits, including bourbon and rye whiskeys. The food ingredients segment reported lower sales for the period due to decreased volume partially offset by improved pricing.
Net income for the third quarter was favorably impacted by unrealized hedging gains as recorded in the cost of sales. This was partially offset by the record-high corn basis, combined with competitive pricing in certain industrial alcohol markets. Net income compares favorably to the same period last year in which the Company reported an operating loss of $2.6 million, including significant losses on open derivative commodity contracts. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 also included a net loss of $135,000 from the ICP joint venture, which compares favorably to the prior-year period's net loss of $2.9 million from the ICP joint venture.
Net income for the first nine months of 2012 improved to $1.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $15.1 million, or $0.91 per diluted share over the same period a year ago. Net sales for the first nine months of 2012 were $247.9 million, an increase of 18.6 percent over the same period last year.
"This was the most challenging quarter of the year in our alcohol markets, characterized by record-high corn prices and increased competition from fuel alcohol producers who are facing negative margins," said Tim Newkirk, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We most likely lost some market share at the lower end of the value spectrum, which tends to be more price-sensitive. Other products performed well, which is more reflective of our unique formulations and value-added services. The decline in industrial sales for the quarter was substantially offset by growth in our premium spirits. So, while our third quarter alcohol sales were relatively flat, our profit profile actually improved due to a stronger contribution from beverages."
Post-acquisition progress continues at the Indiana distillery. Production rates have more than doubled since the company assumed ownership in December 2011. Capital improvements and cost reduction programs, including a switch to natural gas, are expected to further increase manufacturing capacity at a lower cost per unit. Newkirk added, "We've made great inroads with our line of premium spirits this year, despite the fact that most of the important year-end order activity for 2012 took place before we acquired the facility. Our new beverage sales team is encouraged by the high level of interest among our key customers."
Segment Review: Premium Spirits and Industrial Alcohol
Segment Review: Food Ingredients
Segment Review: Biopolymers
Newkirk said, "MGP has been running on a dual track this year. We reconfigured our resources to focus on the most promising opportunities in premium spirits. At the same time, we needed to remove more impediments to generating consistent profits and returns on capital. To that end we attacked the cost side of our business through manufacturing and supply chain improvements. This will be an ongoing commitment, with targeted savings of 2 to 4 percent per year to combat cost inflation and free up capital for growth. Another critical goal was to reduce the volatility of cash flows resulting from commodity price swings. Our new sourcing agreement not only gives us a constant grain supply in tight markets, but also minimizes the financial impacts below the operating line, as could be seen in the most recent quarter."
He concluded, "With all the changes at MGP, we're really back to the heart of what has made this company successful – providing quality products from processed grains, backed by innovation and customer service. Growth initiatives in our food ingredients segment include new opportunities in protein delivery. In premium spirits we're pursuing beverage innovations, including new mash bills, flavor extensions, and barrel aging techniques.
"Our task is not without continuing challenges, but we've eliminated much of the distraction around grain pricing. The focus is now on execution. This is particularly important as we re-introduce MGP to the world of premium spirits."

Monday, I was shaken. Shaken in a way that allowed the haunting world of "what if" to shift the ground beneath me and unsettle everything I thought I knew…for a moment.
An old friend from Michigan lost her son in a sledding accident. He was eight. And when my dad called to tell me the news, I dropped my chai tea in the middle of Starbucks and ran out the door. Because I had to get home to my kids.
I pulled into the driveway to a waving, barefoot Lainey who was sitting cross-legged and carefree in the grass next to Brett. I left the car door open while I ran, breathless, to grab her, hold her, tell her I loved her so very much. And I cried and told Brett about the little boy whose Christmas card I just pulled off my wall two weeks ago. My heart painfully throbbed between hurting for my devastated friend and forcing myself to stand in her shoes–to wonder how one would ever be able to walk again after such heartache.
It consumed me for the rest of the day and well into the night. I whispered his name, prayed for his family, closed my eyes and tried to will peace into their brokenness. You hear of these things on the news. The news–where real little boys who belong to people you know are safe in their homes playing video games and being kissed by their mamas. But I know this family. And the looming truth of Sometimes Bad Things Happen to Good People made me feel stifled and afraid.
I held Lainey's hand a little tighter on the way to the lake that night and broke Nella's crackers into tinier pieces, fingersweeping her mouth between each bite. I thought about every what if that haunts me. And while I knew searching for answers was futile, I questioned and arrived at an opressive emptiness.
We quietly watched our heavy Florida sun sink slowly behind the silhouette of forest at the edge of the lake, and I suddenly felt a peace.
There will never be answers for so many of life's grandest questions, and the unsettling ground of "what if" will shake us as parents many times along this journey. And while pain does not flow well with what we all have in mind for our future and what we strive every to day to achieve, it is a part of this world and the great catalyst for challenging us to love bigger and better every day.
We are vulnerable beings. We were born, and we will die. But today, while we breathe, we live deliberately.
"I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion." ~Henry David Thoreau
Yesterday, I felt so entirely present for my family.
We read books and ate popsicles, had scavenger hunts in the woods and made art in the driveway.
Dollar Frames, Target, spraypainted.
It was healing and calming. I drank in every tiny feature of their sweet faces until I could close my eyes and know them by heart. I kissed more, hugged tighter, held longer.
The rawness of Monday's reality will eventually fade, masking the uncomfortable feeling of vulnerabilty that's gripped me, and allowing myself to sink back into the mundane rhythms of daily life–to-do lists, projects, new shoes, new recipes, play-dates, wants, frustrations. Because our brains are not Bible bookstore plaques and, while it would be nice to be programmed to "Seize the Day" and "Enjoy the Small Things" at every given second, the Unimportant has its place too–balancing the defining moments, softening the blows. We need Unimportant. And, as crazy as it sounds, we need to forget once in awhile–to get lost in silly pleasures like shoes and lipstick, movies and books, planning trips and renovating bathrooms. Together, it brilliantly combines for a good life while we have our breath and allows the moments we do remember the importance of it all–moments like yesterday–to rise effortlessly to the top.
My Girls, My Loves, My Reminders.
And so we carry on, stirring the Unimportant and the Important together into a rich batter of purpose. I will kiss the tender skin of their eyelids when they are sleeping and whisper everything I want to say they might not understand by night, and in the morning I will butter toast, pour juice and complain about the disastrous state of the kitchen. I will make grocery lists and dog-ear too many pages of things I want in the Anthropologie catalogue, but I will gladly put them down to embrace jammied bodies in my lap and read There's a Mouse About the House one more time. Both worlds are good. Both worlds are needful.

Thank you so much for sharing your favorite latitudes…your happy escapes. And now I want to take a family road trip. I really do enjoy reading them and am inspired by your words too. I'll be working on more ways you can share your voice on this blog in the future.
A few comments you may enjoy:
Abilew-who: In Chicago, we have beautiful Millenium Park, and they have free concerts on Monday nights. You can pack up your kids, your picnic basket, and sit on the lawn while the babies dance – drinking wine with the city lights of Chicago for a backdrop. Lovely I tell you.
Michelle: We've been going to Ebey's Landing on Whidbey Island for years and years. It doesn't matter what kind of weather, we love it any way we can get it! We've picnicked in the car, hiked in the rain, explored the rocky beach and basked in the soft sunlight. When my husband was deployed, he drew a stick figure family walking on a beach and sent it home to the kids with the promise "This is us at Ebey's Landing when I get home"…..It was one of the first things we did after he got back. Eight years later that drawing is still on display on the fridge.
GabbyGrace: Shhhh…our secret place…Taylor's Falls where river and trees meets a small quaint town with an old cool bridge and ice cream parlor, 6 inches of snow today still falling and although I am counting down the days to our trip to Hawaii, our 4 year old said it best…"we live in a snow globe mommy!" Yes we do!!!!
Kelsey: My little gem is Veronica's Cafe that overlooks the Cook Inlet and the Mt. Redoubt volcano here in Kenai, Alaska. From Veronica's you can gaze out at the ocean, admire the historical Russian Orthodox church and chapel, watch moose ambling by and eagles soaring overhead, all while eating the best clam chowder you've ever had, or sharing a banana nut muffin with a thirteen month old Bun-Bun girl
Becky: My hometown is Carlsbad, New Mexico where the mountains, plains and desert all meet. Most people think Carlsbad is a podunk kind of a place. But if they'd only look closer they'd see all the small unforgetable oases hidden among the yucca and rock of the desert. We have several small rivers complete with swimming holes that only the locals know about. There is one in particular that is a deep, clear, brillantly blue hole in the middle of no where. It is a great swimming hole and then there is Sitting Bull Falls. Wow, a true oasis. You'll just have to come visit us to see for yourself all the treasures the desert holds! 🙂
Thank you again for sharing!
And Congratulations to Commenter# 791, laura.railing: My favorite magical place here is this perfect beach. It's absolutely beautiful, no matter what time of year, however freezing or warm. it's my favorite photography spot too.
oh and those books?? Yeah love them!!
Laura, you won a $50 gift certificate to Amanda Collin's Usborne Book Shop! Please send your contact information to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Again, thanks to generous sponsors, a random commenter on this post will be winning a present today, a $50 gift certificate to the fun, whimsical designs of Elizabeth St.
Being shaken a bit is good from time to time. When things finally settle, they settle more solidly.
Feeling thankful, aware and in love today. And holding Tom, Yvonne, Connor and all our Michigan friends who know them in our thoughts.

CHICAGO (AP) – A trial in a massive, long-running counterfeit-documentation scheme centered in Chicago but that included a murder in Mexico City ended Tuesday with jurors finding three defendants should face mandatory life sentences.
The operation was based in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood and flourished for at least 15 years until authorities broke it up in 2007. It generated about $3 million in annual sales of fake Social Security cards, driver's licenses and other documents.
In a last stage of the six-week trial in U.S. District Court in Chicago, jurors determined Tuesday that Julio Leija-Sanchez, 37; his brother Manuel Leija-Sanchez, 45; and Gerardo Salazar-Rodriguez, 40, should get mandatory life for racketeering conspiracy because it involved murder.
The jury returned with guilty verdicts on multiple counts Monday.
It was Salazar-Rodriguez who carried out the murder of an up-and-coming rival in Mexico City in 2007, firing more than a dozen shots into a taxi cab, prosecutors said.
Authorities dismantled the operation and arrested dozens of suspects in 2007.
Sentencing was set for Sept. 12.
At trial, prosecutors relied on hours of wiretapped conversations, including where Salazar-Rodriguez allegedly can be heard bragging to the Leija-Sanchez brothers about the murder.
At times, the counterfeiters sold 100 sets of fraudulent IDs each day for about $200 per set, which typically included a phony Social Security card, and either an immigration green card or a driver's license. Aspects of the operation also were conducted in Mexico, prosecutors said.

The demands on network bandwidth are dramatically increasing, and Motorola is meeting those needs with a suite of new indoor- and outdoor-rated 802.11ac access points (APs). Delivering faster speeds, these APs help alleviate bandwidth challenges faced by both enterprises and governments when users connect to Wi-Fi networks and access high-bandwidth applications such as mobile video and streaming media applications. The complete suite includes the AP 8232, AP 8222 and AP 8263, offering flexible options for a wide variety of deployment scenarios. The APs also enable integrated location and security sensing for mobile commerce applications to help connect shoppers in retail stores and hotel guests both indoors and outdoors. For government workers, these can provide data-rich content and multimedia sharing across the government enterprise with high-speed 802.11ac. These APs are also backward compatible with previous 802.11 standards and will support existing clients, preventing the need to create a new infrastructure.

My little guy is now 2 months old. I would say he has a fairly good dose of colic that lasts almost all day but he sleeps well at night. The colic started about 3 weeks ago. I took him to the doctor just to rule out infections and such and he had gained so well (9 pounds at birth and was 13 lbs 10oz at 8 weeks). She suggested that maybe I was over feeding him. I told her I didn't think you could over feed a breastfed baby and she handed me a pamphlet on colic!
I have been off dairy now for 15 days and wheat for a few days. I already avoid any soy like the plague. I am going to try tree nuts and eggs and corn starting today.
His typical pattern goes like this: he wakes up super happy and smiley. It can last anywhere from
10 - 30 minutes. He does not like to be held during this time. Then it slowly turns into him protesting so I pick him up and try sling him if he'll let me. Then he starts to get tired and shows hunger cues, BUT as soon as I put him in any kind of nursing position or close to my breast he gets very angry and cries hard. So I try to calm him down (5S's, baths, walks outside, ect)and eventually he'll signal again to nurse (rooting around trying to nurse on my shoulder, hands to mouth ect). And again he gets angry when I move him to nurse. He is crying this whole time and my husband and I are doing everything to try and calm him. His crying can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or two. We finally get him settled and asleep. He will start to move around in his sleep and then I can nurse him. I can only nurse him when he is asleep or just waking up. Then he wakes up happy and we start all over again.
I can't go anywhere or give my toddler the attention she needs because he cries hard and we can't calm him. It seems like he wants to nurse but then gets mad at the thought. I am tandem nursing and struggled with oversupply in the beginnning. I don't believe I have over supply now but I almost always feed him reclined back anyways. I also feed him 90% of the time off the right breast. I think he likes the slower flow. I also think he is upper frenulum tied.
Any ideas what we can do to help him comfort nurse? Any ideas why he might refuse the breast while awake? Any ideas for helping soothe colic? He cries so much and I feel like I am failing him somehow. Thanks for any thoughts or advice.

Hereford High School staff and Hereford police investigated a rumor of a possible threat to school safety Thursday, school officials said.
Officials said Hereford High School staff received a call from a parent around 9 a.m. concerning a text message circulating among the students about a possible security concern.
The text message included the word "shooting," officials said.
School officials said police were immediately notified and administrators held students in place in their classrooms.
The school was not locked down at any time, a school secretary said.
On-campus resource officers secured the campus and additional officers will remain on campus as an added precaution, officials said.
Officers are tracing the source of the rumor, officials said.
Parents have been notified of the threat through the school messenger automatic contact process, according to a district news release.

Enos School replacement plan under fire
Nonprofit asks state to reexamine cost estimates
A Springfield nonprofit is asking the state to put the brakes on a plan to replace an elementary school building located north of downtown.
Jerry Jacobson, spokesman for the nonprofit historic preservation organization Save Old Springfield, sent a letter to the Illinois State Board of Education on Monday, asking the state to reevaluate whether it's cheaper to replace or renovate Enos Elementary School, 524 West Elliott Ave. The school is targeted for replacement by Springfield School District 186, but Jacobson and others want to see the school preserved, saying it has potential historic value.
In his letter, Jacobson claims the district overestimated renovation costs and underestimated the cost to build a new school. That's a significant charge because state law says the health/life safety bonds issued by the district to pay for the new Enos building and several other school improvement projects district-wide can only be used to build a new school if the cost to renovate an existing school is higher than the cost of replacing it.
Jacobson asked ISBE to reevaluate the costs and halt the district's plan in the meantime.
"When this careful scrutiny is avoided, school districts will waste public funds and destroy historic resources that can meet today's educational needs," he wrote. "We are demolishing buildings that can last for centuries and replacing them with buildings that will last for decades."
Jeff Vose, superintendent for the Sangamon County Regional Office of Education, said he's familiar with the Enos School plan, and the district has followed all applicable laws in its application process.
"Everything they have done has been in a good faith effort," he said. "Nothing they did was inappropriate."
The State Board of Education is evaluating Jacobson's letter and has not offered any official comments.
The district's plan calls for demolishing Enos School, which the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency says is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Earlier this year, Landmarks Illinois, a statewide architectural preservation organization, listed Enos School as one of the most endangered historic schools in the state.
The district estimates it will cost $10 million to build a new Enos School in total, compared with about $8.7 million for renovation as of 2007, without adjusting for inflation. But the $10 million replacement cost isn't the number that ISBE uses to calculate whether it's cheaper to replace or renovate a school, says Pete Sherman, spokesman for Springfield School District 186. ISBE's calculations don't factor in site demolition, architecture fees, a required contingency fund and the cost of inflation in building materials, he says. From ISBE's perspective, the cost to replace the school is $7.7 million, Sherman says, which makes replacement cheaper than renovation.
Jacobson's letter to the ISBE claims the district previously supplied him with figures of $8.39 million for a new building and $8.27 million for renovations. While Jacobson claims the lower estimate for renovation means the district can't legally use the bond funds to replace Enos School, Sherman says the renovation plan doesn't include several items that would push the cost higher. Among them are ADA-compliant elevators costing an estimated $800,000, a sprinkler system and improved lighting.
Sherman said that health/life safety bonds don't require ADA compliance, so that cost wasn't included in renovation estimates. However, construction of new buildings does require compliance, he said. Including that cost pushes the renovation estimate higher.
"The district has maintained that a new school would be more economical, which is a larger notion than one building being cheaper than another," Sherman previously told Illinois Times regarding the Enos School plan. "Taking a long-term view, a new building actually will be less expensive over the long run. And, most importantly, it will provide our children with a higher quality, safer and more flexible and comfortable learning environment."
Sherman says stopping the project now would be "virtually impossible" because the plans are already set in motion.
"Because we've been given the go-ahead on many levels and have full commitment from our board, we've already committed to construction contracts, purchased supplies, and are actually planning to go vertical this month with the new school," he said, referring to the construction start date scheduled for this month. The district is "very excited" about the project, he says, "especially when we think about how great it's going to be for our students."

After a four-game road trip to start season, the Panthers host the Pens, and unveil a new Panasonic high definition scoreboard, on Friday, Oct. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the BB&T Center (@theBBTCenter).
The Cats took on the Penguins in their first regular season game in South Florida on Oct. 12, 1993, nearly 20-years to the date. The night will be a "throwback" night with details on all of the Opening Night festivities to be announced in the coming weeks.

The 2013-2014 season is highlighted by 27 games at home either on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Florida completes the 2013-2014 campaign with a five-game homestand that ends with the regular season finale on Saturday, April 12 against the Columbus Blue Jackets. All Panthers home games (Monday-Friday) will begin at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday home contests will start at 7 p.m. Sunday home game start times will vary between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Hungry Millisecond Pulsar Found Feeding 15

The massive news coverage of John Swallow's alleged improprieties illustrates the liberal media's biased coverage of conservative politicians. For example, consider the 39 days of front page coverage the New York Times gave the Abu Ghraib prisoner humiliation vs. the minimization of the Obama administration's negligence and cover-up of the murder of four Americans, including Ambassador Stevens, in Benghazi.
Another is Obama's "corpse" men speech, where he repeatedly mispronounced the military term "corp," which was virtually ignored by the media. Contrast this with Sen. Marco Rubio's drink of water which was endlessly replayed on network and cable news.
Swallow's activities are very mild in the spectrum of daily behind-the-scenes political dealings, but he was fingered because of his aggressive defense of Utah's public lands. The political environmentalists and their partners in the media couldn't let him get away with that.
If the media is going to do some political witch-hunting, it should do so on an equal opportunity basis — there is plenty to go around.

The Global Debate on Budgeting: Empirical Evidence from Nigeria
This study provides that though the budgetary system is not perfect, its usefulness cannot be over emphasized. The primary source of data was used and data were collected through the use of questionnaire. A Non-Parametric test -Chi-square test and the descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The study reveals that budgeting is perceived by managers a worthwhile exercise and a value creation process. It is recommended therefore that, researches should be directed towards budgetary system improvement rather than its total abandonment.

A Romantic Getaway Leads to Chad Ochocinco's Final Elimination In The Season Finale of "Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch" While T.O. Contemplates His Life As Both A Single Man and Father
"Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch" And "The T.O. Show" Season Finales Premiere on Sunday, September 5 at 9:00 PM ET/PT and 10:00 PM ET/PT
NEW YORK, NY - August 30, 2010 - VH1 stars and football greats Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens season finales are scheduled for Sunday, September 5 at 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM, respectively. Chad and T.O. have more in common with each other than both being on VH1 and Bengal teammates - they're both are looking to find "the one" but in different ways.
"Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch" began with 85 beautiful women from across the country competing for NFL superstar, Chad Ochocinco's heart. After narrowing it down to 17 women on the first day of the competition, the ladies were seeded based on first impressions in a tournament-style bracket system. From there, the ladies competitively dated Ochocinco based on their bracket-style "matchups" with the winner from each moved on to the next round of the tournament. For the past eight weeks there have been plenty of hilarious moments, house drama and romantic connections that have left Chad with a final choice between two beautiful ladies - number 11 seeded Brittany and number one seeded Rubi.
Now that 15 of the ladies have been eliminated, the competition has finally been narrowed down to the final two. In the upcoming final episode, Ochocinco whisks both women away to a romantic trip out of town. Continuing to wine and dine each lady, Ochocinco is faced with his biggest decision yet. He must choose between the fiery passion he feels with one and the close intellectual connection he feels with the other. Will the underdog pull off an upset or can the favorite take home the win? The season finale of "Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch" airs on Sunday, September 5 at 9:00 PM*.
Season two of "The T.O. Show" began with T.O. moving back to Los Angeles after a disappointing season with the Buffalo Bills and some troubling times with his on-again off-again girlfriend Kari. In the off season Terrell started therapy to help him understand his relationship woes with Kari, reexamine his relationships with his children and work hard to become the father for them he never had, especially to his son. He even mended his relationship with ex-teammate Donovan McNabb. Mo and Kita also dealt with dramas of their own all the while doing their best to help Terrell sort out his life as he ponders his next career move. Will T.O. pursue his post football career as an actor/model or will he find another team and continue in football for a few more seasons?
In the season finale, Terrell visits Mo's new born baby, Jackson, for the first time. Mo continues to challenge Terrell about his role as a father which pushes their friendship to the breaking point. As the off season comes to a close Terrell is set to make his next move professionally and also personally as he ponders a marriage proposal. The season finale of "The T.O. Show" premieres on Sunday, September 5 at 10:00 PM*.
VH1's "Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch" is executive produced by Bob Horowitz and Lewis Fenton (for JUMA Entertainment) and Mark Cronin and Cris Abrego (for 51 Minds Entertainment, LLC. an Endemol Company). Ben Samek and Matt Odgers also executive produce for the series and the company. Jeff Olde, Jill Holmes, and Kristen Kelly executive producer for VH1.

Think you know everything about Manchester United? Prove it!
Take the Manchester United Quiz and see how much you really know about Manchester United.
It is only a five question quiz, and is more fun than anything you ever took in grade school.
Don't worry, we won't ask you to find the logarithmic equation of Manchester United's titles and to divide that by the losses Manchester United had last season, or anything of that sort.
Instead, we will ask you general knowledge questions about the club. Occasionally, the questions will be multi step and require an extra bit of thinking, but where would the fun be without that?
So now I bid you good luck as you begin the quiz. All the answers will be on the last page of this article, along with the corresponding grades.
Hopefully you do well! Good luck!

Id like to see Matt Simms get some snaps.
While it was great to get football back last week, the game itself left a lot to be desired from a fan perspective. Hard to be excited about much more than what we saw from Coples in his debut.
Since we'll have the starters on the field for at least 20-25 minutes, what do you hope to see in this Saturday's game? My initial thought was some crispness in the passing game, but with the injuries at WR I can wait another week for that. For me, it's:
Power running. I'd like to see the Jets actually pick up a few first downs just by running the ball on first and second down. I don't need the 20-yard runs, I'd just like to see a handful of 6/7-yard gains.
Powell / McKnight - hopefully one of these guys has a big game and starts to pull away as the leader in the race for 3rd-down back.
Safety play - everything points to Landry and Bell being upgrades over Smith and Leonhard. Wouldn't mind seeing one of those guys validate that opinion this weekend.
Davis - The sooner Davis is getting some serious snaps on defense the sooner this defense gets a much-needed injection of speed. Will be watching him closely.
Id like to see Matt Simms get some snaps.
Want to see the offensive line block. Protect the QB and open up some holes for the runningbacks.
Is a competant scoring drive from our #1 Offense without sacks too much to ask?
I'm looking foward to seeing Demps return kicks and getting the ball in the open field..
Ummmmmmm wait!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No injuries.
This will be a big test for the Offense. I want to see:
- TDs from the starting offense, preferably a TD throw from Sanchez.
- The young WRs to step up and demonstrate they deserve to make the team. I'm looking for Hill, Pollard, White, and Riley.
- RT (and the OL) to step up and maintain a clean pocket, protect the QB, and open holes in the run game
- The TE and RBs to step up in pass protection -- chip blocking and picking up the blitz
Two words:
Pass Protection
At one point I want to see an all-rookie/youngster secondary.
Bush at FS
Allen at SS
Steed at CB
Lankster at CB
Id like to see tebow with the 1s.
I just want to see our offense score... is it too much to ask to hope for 20+ points? Lets see some scoring please... if its over 20 points i guarantee at least one of those touchdowns is special teams/defense.
1. No injuries
2. No picks or fumbles from Sanchez
3. Greene to have at least 1 run longer than 5yds
4. A reasonable impersonation of a decent o-line
5. Sanchez to throw and preferably complete a pass that travels more than 15yds in the air
6. Coples to continue to impress
Competence from the offensive line.
1. Capable of sustaining great tension or strain without breaking. TOUGHNESS! JETS,JETS,JETS!!!!!!!!!!!
lets see if out 1st string OL can block, and see if we can score some points. im pretty sure we will fail at both
