Well, he seems capable enough to take them down so why bother to hand the job to some guys who are not going to kill the Hucks, may listen to what they have to say and then go to stop his evil plan?

Well, not love her but she is the only character around him that shows some common sense for a change. I mean Thoma is... well odd at times and Lily really lacks so much to be a proper character at times that really the stage is open for anyone to jump in and just tell Thoma to go away and join the large list of shonen protagonist that people doesn't like. At least for me.

It's kind of an odd situation because the manga mroe or less treats Tohma's viewpoint as good and noble yet we also have the other side of the coin where characters (Mainly Isis, Vita and Hayate) call on Tohma's overforgiving attitude with more than justifable reasons xDU
At least i'm glad the plot takes it's time to show characters actually concerned about this and not showing off Tohma as a divine messiah whose decisions are always right.

Also, Curren is no fool and is playing every trick on the book to cash on Tohma's innocent trust in them ...a fact Hayate is VERY aware of. Hence the importance to be sure to keep Tohma's morals in check.
Changing topics a bit, i'm reading FORCE 21 in English and already found something pretty shocking...

Every tick on the book? Like just asking nicely over and over? I'm sorry but I just don't see anyone with even a little amount of intelligence falling for a trick set by the Hückebein. Is like those guys who fall for Jail's lies, none of them can hide the fact they are evil. Then again Thoma is not the most brightest of guys, is he?
In any case I don't see a point of asking Thoma. Why they never just grab the guy by force and brainwash him? Because at this point they are going nowhere with this. Besides Thoma's reason for liking them is just so out of place. They take him away, murder innocent people, almost murder SD6 agents and he is all like "I owe them so much".
That being say a least we have plot… kind of. What I like of this chapter is how they compare Thoma to Nanoha. Our hero ladies and gentleman: he is weaker, less competent and overall inferior to the previous one but we are going to remain with him in any case.

It's fairly clear that the Hucks are playing upon Thoma's sympathies, and that Cypha intended Thoma to tell SS6, so that they would help her against the Grendels. Thoma isn't completely stupid, as he intends to tell SS6, and he'll probably abide by whatever SS6 tells him. Signum, Erio, and Caro are the only ones available at the moment, however.
But we get some motive to Hardis now... he's a typical corporate, who sees money in a new clean form of energy, and that's why he's developing this. At least, that is the reason we have so far. It feels like it is not just money, but his desire to make a better world with his clean energy idea. Although, I'm not quite sure how he plans to apply the Eclipse to produce said clean energy. Unless he's trying to fine-tune the eclipse to infect everyone, since not everyone is a mage, but anyone can be an eclipse-infectee.
Which still leaves why Curren is opposing him... does she know something? Or suspect something? Given that Cypha wants to question the Grendels, possibly about their recent infection, it sounds like the Hucks are trying to get to the bottom of the recent infections themselves. As I said before, I would think they would like more people like them, Eclipse infectees, but they don't seem to. It feels like they are trying to prevent more people from becoming infected. Almost dark heroes in a way. They'll kill like the Punisher, but in the service of the greater good. They developed a way to control their murderous impulses, so they don't kill as much as they need to.
I could see Curren breaking into anger at Hardis, with SS6 watching, saying something like, "It was you who made us like this! Do you know the hell we've been through? I won't let you infect anyone else... even if it costs me my life!" *both die in mutual explosion or something*
Hardis having a daughter, isn't really anything new. Jail had his daughters that he cared about, too. It's just a twisted form of giving the antagonist some semblance of humanity. Perhaps it might play a role in the future when his daughter gets infected, or is about to.
I think what I was must intrigued by, were the mentions of Alto. She's not going to be a helicopter pilot (even though they are still looking for one; where is Vice?), but something else. Something to do with the raptors, it feels like.

About Alto, no, she is just there to pilot the helicopter I can just tell you.
Point taken, there is no other reason why Cypha tell Thoma but just to try to make him like them. I just find odd how easy he moves to like them. To the point I am sure they don't need to bother with all this stuff, just lie to him and tell guy they have information on his past and he will go and join without a second thought on the matter, and when he is there just lie again and tell him they lost the information. Thoma wouldn't even think on checking if they are lying, he will just take their word for it. So when I can see that as a possible scenario all the rest seems pointless to me.
About the points you bring that sounds actually good, I just don't think that is the direction the manga is going or that will make much sense when the plot is done. Hardis seems just a copy of Jail on that "this new technology will chance the world but I have to kill a lot of people to do so". Well on both cases is old technology they found so no really "new" on that sense. But what I found odd is Hardis lack of motivation so far. He doesn't really have any reason to do what he does because we are not explain what is he doing with this things other than he is doing it. He is already in business and as far as we know he is doing just fine. He doesn't try to do something with energy and even in that case we still don't know what type of energy moves the Nanoha world, if is magic, how they use it? Like their normal electricity supply? They just have "magic plugs" on their houses where they put their devices to recharge? That needs to be address as well before we can go for the: use the tech to change the world and make a lot of money out of it.
I will never compare the Hückebein to Punisher. No just because the last one is actually more consequent with his action but he doesn't kill innocents, not even for the greater good. They might kill but the Hückebein are clear criminals that just want to do their way and not care about consequences. The way we don't even know why they fight Hardis is another reason to wonder about. They like being Eclipse Drivers? They want more like them? I have no idea what they are doing anything and they aren't even moving to a clear goal. I think we need to know what their objectives are now. Again, same problem, lack of motives.

Sansker, you really don't like mystery novels, do you? Because, in a mystery novel, much is kept unknown for quite awhile, and according to you, anything we don't know means the story has a problem.

I like how they're making such a big deal about the Raptors when they're basically useless in the next chapter, and disappear for about five afterward.
And why does Touma care about making the weapon that almost made him kill people look bad? Was that a joke or something?

I can agree on Vandin's lack of a true motivation but in the Hucks case is more a lack of exposition on their motives than a proper lack of motivation, the beef they have with Vandin is pretty clear and in apst Chpters Curren has stated something among the lines of "he betrayed us" ...strongly implying a past co-working relationship between the Hucks and Hardis Vandin (for some reason i like to think Hardis was the one who raised Curren into the Ultimate Badass she is now and she escaped from him some years ago with her heart broken after discovering she was only another tool for him to achieve his goals ...and now she seeks revenge xD).
About Curren's strategies to get Tohma and the later's guillibleness towards the Hucks ...i said she's "trying" every trick in the book, not "tried" xD We have to wait and see how things turn out on that famously belated family reunion xDU The plot is trying to post Curren as a magnificent manipulator so Hayate and others react to her schemes with amazement and surprise ...so i guess it's better for our mental health to just go with it for now xDU

Yes, but to be fair manipulate any character in Nanoha should not be that hard. Just saying. Currenn to me is like not a big deal, she tries to be but when it comes down to her actions I just can't pass her goofy behavior near Stella. If you want to made a badass then made one, not keep her being the funny old sister, the mysterious killer, the manipulative evil leader and the ultimate warrior all in once, or at least balance such aspects of her a little better.
Kaijo is not I don't like mystery. I love it. When we are learning about things with the characters and making sense out of something that doesn't seem like adding on but that in the end all make sense or at least reveals the great mystery… I am all on such stories. However that doesn't mean all "mysteries" are good or that we should have mysteries all over the place. Like I say, Nanoha is not to be something with intrigue beyond some minor cases, a simplest story with a clear goal always works better for this setting. What I don't like is that we have no idea where the characters are going, no long term goal for the bad guys, the good guys are just going around the plot of the two bad organizations and in then end nobody is king enough to tell me why I should care. I mean, yes mystery but if you don't give any reason to worry about it I will find it more like a bother than an actual plot element.
If the bad guys think the good guys can't understand their motives or that they should know them is ok with me, but here the Hückebein don't say what they want just because creates mystery. Or is how I feel the series, playing with our expectations in a rather odd manner and not going to the point just to show more scenes that goes nowhere. I feel more annoyed than thrill to find what is going on.

If a student does 99 things wrong and 1 thing right...
but miss the 1 right thing.
the student for the 1 right thing.
In my experience, criticism and yelling do not work. If a student does something wrong, an instructor has to ask, "Why is he doing it wrong?" Since he is the instructor, the problem lies with him. How could he have taught better so that the student would understand? What is the student missing?
In addition, a wrong movement is usually just a symptom of a deeper problem. Yelling at the wrong movement will only draw attention to it. The more the instructor yells, the more the student will tend to do the movement wrong.
High shoulders, for example, may be a symptom of loose lats. Yelling about the shoulders will not get the student to squeeze his lats. The instructor has to address the issues of the lats, and when the student says, "Maybe that's why my shoulders are so tight," that's when the instructor must say, "Yes, that is right! So, so, so, so!"
All students make mistakes (so do I). Mistakes are opportunities for progress, not reasons for yelling, punishment, shame, etc.
I remember whenever I made a mistake, my Sensei, Katsuhiko Shinzato, would be patient and have me try again. Eventually he would say, "Perhaps you might try this..." Then he would demonstrate a way to move that would address my problem. He never criticized or embarrassed me -- and I was certainly old enough to take it and experienced enough to deserve it. He always treated me with kindness and understanding -- and still does. He taught by his example, by careful explanation, by creative experimentation, by approaching the subject many different ways (to get through to me), by patience, and by encouragement. And once I could do something a little well, he recognized it (so that I could), and we moved on and built upon my little progress. On and on and on.
We have to learn to see the 1 right thing the student does. We have to learn to encourage it so that the student will progress to 2 right things, then 3, then 99 right things and only 1 wrong thing. Maybe even 100 right things! Wouldn't that be great!
My Sensei here in Hawaii is Sensei Rodney Shimabukuro. I always remember that he could be running five different groups of students, but even if he was standing on the opposite side of the dojo, with his back turned, he could tell when a student did something right. He would yell out words of encouragement, such as "Good job!" or "That's right!" He never missed such a moment... even with his back turned on the opposite side of the dojo. I am still working on such awareness.

A bunch of sweaty brewers descended upon the Breckenridge Brewery this week as part of the fifth-annual Tour de Bouldurango.
The bike ride was conceived by Adam Avery, of Avery Brewing Co., and Dave Thibodeau, of Ska Brewing Co., as a getaway for any brewer and brewery representative. This year, Avery and Thibodeau were joined by Left Hand Brewing Co. owner and founder Eric Wallace and Jeff Brown, owner of the Boulder Beer Co., among others.
Each day's ride includes a stop at a local brewery. This year's stops included Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs, Breckenridge Brewery and Ollie's Pub & Grub in Breckenridge, Eddyline Brewing in Salida, Brick Oven Pizzeria and Pub in Crested Butte, Colorado Boy Pub and Brewery in Ridgway, Ouray Brewery in Ouray and the finishing Bouldurango Beer Festival and fundraiser at Ska Brewing in Durango.

The New York Times reported yesterday that the Whitney Museum has signed its contract with New York City's Economic Development Corporation to take over a city-owned site next to the southern end of the High Line. The Whitney is planning a new museum designed by Renzo Piano, with 50,000 square feet of exhibition space– nearly twice what the Whitney's Madison Avenue location has.
The agreement gives the Whitney 4 years to pay the $18 million for the site, and five years to begin construction. Design renderings released a couple of years ago show a six-story building, stepping down from the West Side Highway towards the High Line in a series of terraces. The plan also calls for a large street-level public plaza, and public indoor space on the ground level, to complement the High Line's Gansevoort Plaza and Gansevoort stairs.

In last week's issue, I argued that secular evidences alone can never offer the power to convert anyone to the restored gospel. Undeniable secular evidences for Joseph Smith's prophetic status would frustrate the necessity of agency and would still likely not change the hearts of those who adamantly reject the Prophet.
Critics typically claim that Latter-day Saints rely on "feelings" in lieu of "evidence" — thereby implying that there is no rational thought that factors into their spiritual testimonies. This is unmitigated nonsense and contains at least three errors — the first two of which will be discussed in this installment.
The first error is that all Latter-day Saint testimonies are void of reason and rationale. This is not, however, the way many member testimonies are formed and maintained. While a testimony must be grounded on a spiritual confirmation, the mind is an integral part of gaining our testimony. We are expected to use our minds to study the scriptures and learn what God wants.
When Oliver Cowdery made his failed attempt at translating the plates the Lord told him: "Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me. But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right." (Doctrine and Covenants 9:7-8).
Moroni (Moroni 10:3) and other prophets (2 Nephi 32:1) have counseled us to ponder things in our hearts — which sounds like an emotional rather than intellectual approach. Most people in ancient times, however, generally didn't understand that the brain was the source for thoughts and reasoning. They typically believed that the heart was home for both the soul as well as the origination of thoughts.
While the Egyptians experimented with brain surgery, for instance, they nevertheless believed that the heart — not the brain — was the source for thoughts. To "ponder things in our hearts" means to include our brains in our spiritual quest.
As Latter-day Saints who believe that the glory of God is intelligence (D&C 93:36), we are told to seek wisdom from the best books (D&C 88:118) and learn more than just what we hear in Sunday School. We are encouraged to learn about astronomy, geology, history, current and foreign events, and much more (D&C 88: 79).
"Each of us," said President Boyd K. Packer, "must accommodate the mixture of reason and revelation in our lives. The gospel not only permits but requires it."
In 2007, the church published a statement about LDS doctrine which read in part:
"The church exhorts all people to approach the gospel not only intellectually but with the intellect and the spirit, a process in which reason and faith work together."
Latter-day Saints (like most other people who believe in a spiritual realm) believe that some evidence — such as a spiritual witness — can only come through faith, but they also maintain that faith and reason are not typically in conflict and that reason can support faith (more on this later).
The second error made by critics is the implication that a testimony is nothing more than "feelings" or emotions. They sometimes profane the "burning in the bosom" into something like what you could get from eating too much pizza. As Elder Dallin H. Oaks said:
"What does a 'burning in the bosom' mean? Does it need to be a feeling of caloric heat, like the burning produced by combustion? If that is the meaning, I have never had a burning in the bosom. Surely, the word 'burning' in this scripture signifies a feeling of comfort and serenity. That is the witness many receive. That is the way revelation works."
As noted above, a testimony should be grounded both in the heart and mind. Dr. Wendy Ulrich, speaking at the 2005 FAIR conference, explained:
"How do the goosebumps and tearfulness I experience when someone speaks in a testimony meeting differ from the goosebumps and tearfulness I experience when the 4:00 parade begins at Disneyland? ...
"Fortunately, we are not left with emotion alone to discern God's hand in our lives. Reason, experience, counsel from others and other forms of revelation may all assist us. In fact, I notice that emotion plays into only some of my spiritual experiences, and often only in a secondary way. More often the spiritual promptings and confirmations I receive come very quietly as something simply occurs to me with a kind of rightness that has no real emotion attached to it at all. … Others have come as a pure love beyond my previous capacity to imagine. … I expect that people from many religious backgrounds may have such experiences, and I am comfortable imagining God in many of them, but they are not easily explained away as a self-produced warm feeling."
What's ironic about the "feelings/emotions" charge made by critics is that they often base their rejection of the restored gospel on emotions or non-intellectual reasons (as we will see in next week's installment).

Hi doll. I hope all is going well!
I revamped my boys list and gave them double middles, and I want you to rate my top three:
Leonidas Allan Ray
Odin Timothy Keats
Castiel Micah Scott
Leonidas Allan Ray- Has a nice sound, two shorter middles balance it out better then three long names. So a 7
Leonidas- I think of Sparta and Spartans, first thing. So a 6
Allan- A little dated but a nice name for a little boy or adult. So a 7
Ray- Depending on the spelling can be a unisex name. A little short but nice. So a 7
Odin Timothy Keats- Sounds like First/Middle/Last combo but nice enough. So a 6
Odin- Very Norse/Old Germanic, I could see it becoming a replacement for the ever popular Owen. So a 6
Timothy- A very strong and classic name for an adult but also very cute on a little boy. So an 8.
Keats- A modern name but not a fan. Seems like it would be a nickname for something like Keaton. So a 6
Castiel Micah Scott- With Scott last it sounds more like a First/Middle/Last combo but nice. So a 7
Castiel- A nice name, rare, but nice. The name of an angel. So an 8
Micah- Has a nice flow and ring and sounds nice, also a mineral name. So an 8.
Scott- Has a nice and smooth flow, though a common surname. So an 8.
Hope you liked my ratings! I try to be as honest as possible without being mean or rude. I mean no offence what so ever, as I know everyone has different styles and opinions

About Wiggs
Damn, you beat me to it! It took all of, what, 30 seconds to Google it?
My point was: no matter how much you give them, they will always demand more. Even if you compensate them 'beyond what they deserve', they will scream and cry and pout and pay off politicians until they get more, more, MORE!
That's the nature of greed.
You misunderstand. That $5 billion annual loss is "profit", not "revenue".
After paying all of the middle-men, contractors, politicians, lawyers, website designers, themselves, recording studios, themselves, massage 'artists', politicians, label designers, themselves, scabs, politicians, disenfranchised union workers, and themselves, that number would really need to be more like $100 a month - MINIMUM - to properly cover the costs involved and accurately replace their lost profits.
You clearly just don't understand "accounting". =)
> sudo make me a sandwich
But Citizens United essentially made corporations people, right? So why can't people be corporations?
After all, I'm pretty sure that Willard Mitt Romney, Inc. (a subsidiary of Bain Capital Corporation) is running for president, isn't it?
Can we also have Senator Wyden read the names of the Senators who are FOR the bill so I know who I need to vote against the next time they come up?
Elsewise, is there a list somewhere?
Excellent point - it does make sense that the President can't do that. So we'd need a cooperative Congress as well. Well, too bad that will never happen.
And since we're all dreaming big here, I'd also like to add a Constitutional amendment which allows for a nationwide referendum on a vote of no confidence in the government. This would provide for a special election, initiated somehow by the states (I'm not sure on the logistical details) - if 75% of turnout votes no confidence in the government, a new nationwide election is triggered for ALL members of government (House, Senate, President) and all currently serving members are prohibited from being re-elected.
Obviously the details are sketchy on this one, but this would sure put those idiots on notice, don't ya think?
I like both of these sets of ideas, and I'd like to add them to my own laundry list. Thank you.
Overturn Citizens United, via executive order and then via a proposal for a Constitutional amendment stating that corporations cannot be recognized as individuals. Failing that, at least having legislation passed to that effect... but I imagine you could probably get the *people* of the states to ratify such an amendment.
Institute term limits: 12 years for all Congressional offices - that's a political MAXIMUM of 6 House terms and 2 Senate terms per individual, and then 2 Presidential ones, should you be so lucky.
Immediately remove Congress' ability to vote themselves a pay raise.
Freeze Congressional salaries and index them only by inflation. Taking national office should be the civilian equivalent of serving in the military - a sacrifice.
Commission a thorough investigation of campaign finance corruption, and eventually require all political action groups to have full transparency or severely reduced limits on contributions, remove the ability for corporations to contribute directly to any politican's coffers or campaign, and institute strict public funding for any direct contributions. This may also necessitate a law requiring broadcast/cable networks to provide time for political discussions during campaign seasons.
...and, while I'm dreaming, I'd also like to implement instant-runoff voting and make voting mandatory.
How's that?
You say "Presumably even Techdirt, whatever it may be, would find it somehow objectionable if its proudly reusable works were to share space with incitements to commit child abuse, stringing up politicians..." etc, etc
They might find it objectionable. That's probably true. That does not make it IMMORAL to do so, and it also does not mean any kind of legality should be enshrined against it. I'm pretty sure that Mike would argue the same thing.
Nothing you have presented in your post gives any legitimacy to the idea of establishing legal remedies against a problem perceived as immoral. Your Roy Orbison example falls flat - they sued, and lost... do you sympathize with them and think it should have gone the other way, or do you actually "celebrate the resulting fair use doctrine"? Saying "Oh, I'm glad they lost but I don't question why they did it" is flawed - it's hedging for the ability to stand on both sides of a fence.
If you "don't belittle the estate for caring or say they must be making some insane distinction that I cannot for the life of me fathom" - please tell us, then... what is the distinction? Do you understand it? You spend a fair number of words here telling us what you "don't" think... so what DO you think?
Also, 2 Live Crew's "Pretty Woman" is not an "interpretation", as you say - but a legally protected parody. That's a "pretty" big difference.
When it gets right down to it, you seem to be saying (if I may boil it down) that it should be a legal right for a creator to have the ultimate decision about what can and cannot be done with their work. Is that right?
Please present to us a cogent argument that explains why, precisely (and without weasel words), the 'feelings' and 'morals' of a given creator should be enshrined as a legal right to shut down any kind of derivation or building on their work that they happen to disagree with?
Now, for bonus points: Can you do so without resorting to logical fallacies and more vague personal attacks?
It boggles my mind that someone could watch something like that '39 songs I like' mashup that was posted here the other day and NOT consider that something entirely new and creative.
The time involved; finding precisely the right clips from the songs to use, the practice it must have taken to arrange and then perform that live on camera... staggering. Easily equivalent to what any amateur musician does - and I say that being an amateur musician myself.
Yes - attribution is a good thing. Even though many of the songs used in that particular one were not my cup of tea, I still listened to a bunch of them to try to figure out how it had been put together.
How is it morally wrong to make fun electronica using clips of other people's work, if they're correctly attributed? I just don't understand.
Wait, wait, wait... what in the name of all that is capitalist is an "audiophile deduction"?
"Man, we've got this suit in Distribution... yeah, he really loves music. Like, REALLY loves it. So we, y'know, we give him a discount and take it out of your royalties because we comped him your album. Yeah. Hope that's OK."
Anyone have an explanation for this tripe?
Right! Which is why alcohol is not sold anywhere in the US to this very d...
Wait, what?
You mean they repealed that? Well consarnit! I was all ready to head down to the local speakeasy this weekend. Just don't tell Rex Banner that I'm the Beer Baron, k?
The Federal Copyright Investigation Commission (FCIC, established as part of ACTA) has dispatched agents to your location to ensure that you are paying the proper 'public performance' fees to the copyright holders for this party. Since you and all of your friends are 'members of the public', this is clearly a 'public performance' and therefore you will be fined the not unreasonable rate of $10,000 per attendee.
Have a nice day.
So, given past history, we should expect their next re-price to be $120 per stream and be available as VOD the same day as the theatrical release?
This is insightful, hilarious, and extremely frightening due to the preceding two adjectives. This comment would clearly be banned under this new law.
When I read the article tagline, I thought the phrase without getting caught was certain to be implied.
Guess I was wrong. Ah well.
I had exactly this same thought as I was reading through the article.
Wake up? That implies they're just asleep.
I'm pretty sure they're brain-dead.
And the end credits for Portal 2! "Want You Gone" is not quite as excellent as "Still Alive", but also very good.

Broa - Portuguese Cornbread
from: Eva
Good stuff. My parents like to put a slice of it at the bottom of their soup plate and eat it with their soup. Recipe taken from the Food Network's website.
1 loaf
Combine the yeast, sugar, and the warm water in a large bowl until the yeast is dissolved and foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal and salt with the boiling water. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon to blend. Add the melted butter and mix to incorporate. Now, pour the yeast mixture into the cornmeal mixture, stirring to combine. Gradually add the flour, mixing well after each addition.
Add a couple of tablespoons of water if the dough feels dry and doesn't come together easily. Continue to mix until a dough forms into a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Grease a large bowl with oil and transfer the dough to the bowl, brush the top with more oil so it is completely coated. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 11/2 hours.
Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and knead briefly, 3 or 4 times, to punch out the air. Gather the dough into a ball and shape it into a round loaf. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let rise again until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and place a pizza stone in the oven to heat up.
Put the dough round on the pizza stone and brush the top with oil. Sprinkle the top of the bread with coarse salt. Bake in middle of the oven for 40 to 50 minutes until the bread is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
*To recreate the steam effect from authentic Portuguese brick ovens, spray the bread and oven walls with cold water every 10 minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool.

Goodbye and thank you
My extended guest stint here at CoOp is now at an end. My deepest thanks to Danielle for inviting me (and for offering the extra month, which I was glad to accept), the rest of the CoOp crew for having me, and everyone for reading and commenting. My posts on the infield fly rule are going to form my next scholarly project, so I should be able to put a lot of these comments and ideas to good use.
My apologies for relatively light blogging during my final week. I have been (and still am) in scramble mode, trying to do the final read and review on the manuscript for a student treatise on civil rights litigation. The book is intended both as a student supplement and as a primary assigned book in support of a raw/unedited-case approach to the class (which is how I've been teaching the course for a few years now). I welcome any comments and suggestions on the book as it moves through publication (it's due at the publisher in about a week), so if you teach civil rights (or its parent, Fed Courts) and are interested in having a look at the manuscript, I am happy to share.
I also have been getting ready to teach for the first time since last April, as my first-ever research leave winds down. I have not blogged about being on leave, but probably will when it's done and I've had some time to reflecf. I honestly don't believe I could have gotten this book done if I were teaching an ordinary load the past three months. At the same time, I have missed being in the classroom and the way that teaching time helps organize and break-up the week.
Anyway, thanks again for reading. I hope to be back here again soon—maybe even sooner than for the final month of the 2016 Elizabeth Warren-Marco Rubio presidential showdown.

By Kurt Wolff
The saga of the Civil Wars just won't quit. In 2013, the country-folk duo of John Paul White and Joy Williams earned their third GRAMMY award (they'd won two the year before), and they even released a critically acclaimed second album — all while not actually being a band anymore (they announced their professional split in 2012).
Now they've gone and won yet another GRAMMY, this time for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their song "From This Valley."
The win is significant, as they won in a category against such country stalwarts as Little Big Town (who won it last year and were again nominated this year for "Your Side of the Bed"), Vince Gill and Kelly Clarkson ("Don't Rush"), Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton ("You Can't Make Old Friends"), and the powerhouse triple threat of Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, who performed together on McGraw's huge No. 1 hit of last year, "Highway Don't Care."
This was one of several losses for Swift, a seven-time GRAMMY winner who last night was nominated in four categories (including Album of the Year) but took home no trophies.
Related: Behind the Song: Tim McGraw's "Highway Don't Care"
The Civil Wars' win occurred during a non-televised portion of the GRAMMY ceremony, though White did appear in person to accept the award. Williams was not present, though she did tweet her excitement last night and also noted that she was home taking care of her son "who is sick today."
At the podium, White did not thank or even mention his former musical partner Williams, who cowrote the song with White (and Phil Madeira). White did, though, give a shout out to one of the other nominees. "I want to apologize to Dolly Parton for depriving her of anything at all," he said during his acceptance speech. "She's one of my biggest heroes, and it's an honor to be nominated with everyone in this category."
Today, however, White, in a series of tweets, offered an apology for his omission of Williams and others during his time at the mic. He said he was "surprised by the win" and was in "multiple states of shock," yet that that's "no excuse" for not acknowledging others who contributed to the song.
"I want to thank all for their congrats. Truly. My silence has never been ambivalence," he wrote. "I also want to apologize for my omission of Joy, Charlie Peacock, Richie Biggs, and Nate Yetton (among many others) in my thank you's. It was classless and unacceptable, and I hope my personal and public apology can and will be accepted. I can't begin to say how surprised I was by the win, or that I took the podium alone. Multiple states of shock. But no excuse."
The fact that these are the first tweets he's posted since November of 2012 implies that White's words are, indeed, sincere. Again, note what he wrote in the first tweet: "My silence has never been ambivalence."
Last night's win is the Civil Wars fourth overall GRAMMY and their second in this same category. They won Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2012 for the song "Barton Hollow" (they also won that year in the Best Folk Album for their debut album of the same name).

White posted one final tweet that read: "Thanks also for your patience this past year, and understanding of my stance to devote all energies to my family. It is dearly appreciated."
So where does this leave the state of the duo in 2014? Again, it's almost impossible to say. The fact that White broke his silence on Twitter is significant (Williams tweets regularly), but at the same time it doesn't necessarily signify anything about the future of the group.
As for Williams, she's acted as the de facto spokesperson for the group lately, and appears to be open to future projects. In a 2013 interview, she said she was "really proud of what we created together" on the Civil Wars' 2013 self-titled album. "And we created it together — we just happened to be in a bit of a civil war ourselves."
Related: On the Civil Wars' Second Album, Tension is the Only Friend
"John Paul and I aren't speaking right now," she continued. But as for what the future might hold? "The reality is I'm not even quite sure."

All my sinks have been thrown on the wheel, then those sinks with overflows
have an additional bowl and pottery slab attached
( for the faucet with popup drains to work)
( vessel sinks will take any faucet: drain plugs will be separate)
Then the sinks have to slowly dry for 2-3 weeks before putting them into the kiln
for the first firing. At this point , the bisque sink will be glazed
one of several colors (clear, white, green, blue, maroon, or yellow )
and decorated with several options ( spongeware ,white splash black splash,
white sparbleware, green sparbleware, or just left as a solid color).
This is a stoneware sink that has been formed by mixing several different
colored clays together, then thrown on the wheel and sculpted ,
then a clear glaze has been applied before the final firing to show
the wood grain effect

The main character, Dandy, grew up dancing barefoot in meadows, and kept gnawing hunger away by poaching. She is as wild and spirited as a child, but with the body, mind and desires of a grown woman. Dandy doesn't even trust herself to do the right thing, especially when her decisions are influenced by her raw childhood memories of famine.
Dandy wants more out of life than what her simple cotter family has, and more than what the young farmer, William, can ever give her. Because of this, she recklessly turns her back on true love to marry a nobleman from the nearby castle, only to find there are other types of hunger--the hunger of the soul. As Dandy struggles with heartache and at times, brutality, she also finds within each hardship a vibrant sense of hope. Dandy struck me as a strong, vivacious heroine who learns by failure before she grasps the truth.
The literary talent of this author delighted me as I kept picturing the rich pallet of the Renaissance as I read this extremely gripping story. It was like reading light rippling across water. At the same time, the author doesn't shy away from difficult issues, but the story does come around to a Christian redemptive message that is totally believable, and a wonderfully satisfying ending.
I highly recommend this book.

I have updated and continue to work on the Suddarth pages of this site. I have added pages for James Suddarth, born 1795 in Virginia, who I have discussed quite a bit on the blog. In addition, I have put in a page for Patience Suddarth. I don't know much about Patience. I think she may be the mother of Lewis Suddarth, but I really do not have anything to support that theory other than the 1820 Crawford County, Indiana census. I do not feel that this is enough to state anything regarding the relationship between Patience and Lewis.

(Reuters) - J.C. Penney Co Inc's decision to shore up its cash reserves by issuing almost $1 billion in new shares sent its stock tumbling more than 13 percent Friday.
Earlier in the day, the struggling U.S. department store chain had cut its forecast of year-end cash reserves, suggesting that it is burning through money faster than expected.
Penney said the 84 million shares in the offering had priced at $9.65 each. Underwriters have the option to buy another 12.6 million shares.
The board decided Thursday afternoon to sell shares after discussing in recent weeks various options to raise cash. As of September 6, Penney had total debt of $5.82 billion, according to the stock offering prospectus, making it difficult to raise new money through debt.
"We could not risk losing the confidence of our Associates or our supplier partners, both of whom are paramount to our long-term success," Chief Executive Myron Ullman said in a note sent to all store employees on Friday and obtained by Reuters.
Penney spokeswoman Kristin Hays said the company was concerned that "shares could not handle much more pressure" if the company wanted to be able to sell new stock at some point.
The company has been struggling to improve sales after a failed attempt by Ullman's predecessor Ron Johnson to take the store more up-market sent sales down 25 percent in 2012.
On Friday, in their first session since the sale was announced, shares closed at $9.05, down from a February 2007 high of $87.18. About 35 percent of Penney shares are held short by investors betting on its decline, making them very volatile.
Penney said in the prospectus it would have about $1.3 billion in cash by the end of the year. In August, it had forecast $1.5 billion.
"While an equity raise improves (near-term) liquidity, we remain concerned that JCP will continue to burn cash in '14 and beyond," UBS analyst Michael Binetti, who has a "sell" rating on the stock, wrote in a note.
UBS' Binetti said the pre-holiday capital-raising, along with cautious comments from other retailers, increased concerns that near-term trends were not improving as anticipated.
So far some financing companies, known as factors, are not changing terms on the short-term loans they provide Penney suppliers.
Michael Stanley, the managing director at Rosenthal & Rosenthal, a large factor, said his firm has kept approving orders to Penney.
"We feel they have enough liquidity, especially with this share sale," Stanley said.
Penney's offering confirmed an exclusive Reuters report on Wednesday that the company aimed to raise as much as $1 billion in new equity to build its cash reserves.
Penney on Thursday denied a CNBC report that said Ullman had told investors there was no need to raise more money before the end of the fourth quarter, which ends in early February.
The company's shares had climbed on the CNBC report.
Earlier this year, Penney had a $2.25 billion loan arranged by Goldman Sachs, which is also the sole book-running manager for the stock offering.
Goldman said in a research note this week that poor business fundamentals, the need to rebuild inventory of goods popular with long-time customers and the weak performance of its home goods department would likely put pressure on Penney's liquidity.
Penney's shares have been on a wild ride in the past three days: plunging on the Goldman research, and declining further on the Reuters report about a capital raising, before recovering some of those losses on the company statement about trading conditions and the CNBC report. The shares fell again on the share sale announcement on Thursday, and continued their slide on Friday.

Hi all.So the church in addition to a regular choir has a secular choir consisting of those who dont necessarily attend church often. Well it was decided that we should sing in the sanctuary because thats where one of the concerts will take place. The people entered the church basically screaming and yelling, didnt make the sign of the cross, came in drinking their coffees etc. To add insult to injury we were situated in such a way that we were standing in front of the altar and some decided it was Ok to actually sit on the altar. After a few minutes I raised my hand and explained to the conductor that God is literally present here and thus it is not appropriate to sit on the altar. well after a few snide remarks he agreed but then after the practice told me not to say it in public because it might offend people and lead them to not come to the choir anymore. So my question is was I wrong in saying this?
And FWIW, these are our Fathers too, you know.
What were they doing in the Sanctury?
The Episcopallian road is easy and wide, for many go through it to find destruction. lol sorry channeling Isa.
You were absolutely correct, but I'm with akimori in not understanding how this entire scenario was even allowed to develop. What is this secular choir supposed to be about - what is its purpose - what is it gong to sing - when is it going to sing - and why? Is there some hope that involving these non-attendees is going to become an avenue by which they'll return to church-going? (If so, it's not exactly off to a rousing start!)Or is this simply a created socio-cultural event into which the parish got roped since folk see it as a natural 'cultural center' around which all events should be organized - the typical 'ethnicity is us' and 'the temple is our clubhouse' outlook that too often pervades Eastern and Oriental Churches of all the Communions? Many years,Neil

Dr. Greene, our 19-month-old son has seemed to have trouble since his birth. He wouldn't be miserable all the time, just a good portion of the time. At 1 year, he was introduced to cow's milk. Before this time, he had consumed cheese and a few other dairy products. He is a very unsettled, miserable-acting child. As his mother, I know something is wrong. He has been having trouble with constipation for a while now. We have tried increasing fruit, veggies, and whole grains to no avail. He goes for days between stools, and when he does eliminate, there is a very hard, very large "plug" of stool that comes out, followed by two to five diapers full of loose stool within a couple of hours. His father is lactose intolerant yet can drink skim milk with no problems. My question is: should we try skim milk? Or should we try a lactose-free type of milk or soymilk? Any help would be appreciated greatly!!!
Shannon – Woodstock, Nebraska
Dr. Greene`s Answer:
A cranky, unhappy toddler may well be responding to physical discomfort. Tummy troubles of one type or another can make anyone feel miserable. Milk is a major part of most children's diets. If a child is intolerant to milk, this can affect how he feels every single day of his life. Nausea, cramps, and pain can squelch the normal joys of discovery and mastery.
But the classic symptoms of milk intolerance are diarrhea, spitting up, or abdominal pain. Many kids with milk intolerance also wheeze, especially when they get a cold. They can also have the dry, sensitive skin of eczema and their noses always seem to be running. Ear infections are also more common than in other kids. Constipation, however, has not been typically associated with milk intolerance — until now.
The observation that constipation might sometimes be caused by milk intolerance has appeared in the medical literature from time to time, dating back as far as 1954 (Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1954; 4:940-962). But only recently has there been a well-designed study published showing that this is indeed the case. The results of this study, when widely known, can set many children free to enjoy the exuberance of childhood without pain.
Researchers at the University of Palermo in Italy worked with 65 children with chronic constipation. All of these children had been treated with laxatives when dietary measures had failed. Even with the medical treatment, these children were still constipated, having hard, painful stools only every 3 to 15 days. Forty-nine of the their little bottoms had fissures and redness or swelling from the hard plugs of stool.
Each child received either cow's milk or soymilk for 2 weeks, with no one knowing which was which. Next, they had a week during which they could eat and drink anything they wanted to wash out the effects of the first 2 weeks. Then they switched sides for 2 weeks and got the milk that they didn't get the first time. Careful recordings of the bowel habits were made.
When the secret code was broken at the end of the study, they found status quo constipation for each child while he or she was on cow's milk. But while they were taking soymilk (which causes firmer stools in most kids), 68% of these kids were no longer constipated! The redness, swelling, and fissures on their bottoms healed (New England Journal of Medicine, 1998; 339:1100-1104). How wonderful to finally have relief after diet and medicines hadn't worked for so long!
The results were most dramatic in kids who also had frequent runny noses, eczema, or wheezing. Nevertheless, sometimes constipation can be the only symptom of cow's milk intolerance.
This has broad implications. The children in this study were those with severe chronic constipation that was unresponsive to medications. I am convinced that they are only the tip of the iceberg. There must be a much larger group of mildly allergic children whose constipation improves with laxatives. Time may prove that it is better for these children to avoid the offending protein by switching milks rather than being treated with laxatives.
Presumably, swelling of the intestinal lining causes the constipation. Whatever the exact mechanism, the problem is likely with the protein in cow's milk, not with the fat or lactose (the sugar). Skim milk or lactose-free milk will not help with this one. Switching to soymilk and other soy products might transform the life of your son in only a couple of weeks!
Unfortunately, some children are also soy protein intolerant. As it happens, this is more common in kids who are allergic to cow's milk protein. If you don't get good results within 2 weeks, I suggest also eliminating soy from the diet for 2 weeks as a trial. You might use Alimentum or Nutramigen (protein hydrolysate infant formulas) as the milk for these next 2 weeks because your son is much less likely to be allergic to the protein in them. If they work, you can then experiment with other sources of calcium, protein, and fat for the future (perhaps rice milk).
It's not that common for simple changes to relieve relentless, longstanding problems. But when a child is made miserable by an allergy, removing the source can result in a rapid, dramatic improvement in the quality of life. I hope, Shannon, that this turns out to be the case with your son and that this next season his smiles double to make up for those he has missed.

Science Saving Elephants – International Partnership Helps Preserve Amboseli Elephants
Science is taking the lead to secure habitat for elephants and other wildlife in Kenya's Amboseli National Park.
In the next five years, a partnership between the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW – www.ifaw.org), The School for Field Studies (SFS – www.fieldstudies.org) and Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS), will see scientists, researchers, and veterinarians tracking elephant populations around the park to determine their needs for space and resources, and ultimately help prevent human-elephant conflict.
"It is a fact that Amboseli's 1,400 elephants spend up to 80 percent of their time outside the national park. They roam in the surrounding Maasai group ranches, and are known to cross over into Tsavo West National Park in Kenya, and wander south over the border into Tanzania – as far as Kilimanjaro National Park. But how far do they go? Where exactly do they go? Why do they go there? What are the threats and challenges they face? These are all questions that this important research will be able to answer," said James Isiche, Director of IFAW East Africa, at a ceremony held in Amboseli last Thursday to mark the IFAW-SFS partnership.
Entitled "African elephant space needs and associated relationships in southern Kenya; a landscape study approach to secure range for wildlife," the project is being led by Dr. Moses Makonjio Okello, Senior Director of The SFS Center for Wildlife Management Studies in Kenya and Tanzania.
"Elephants need space and resources in order to be free, viable and to fulfill the flagship role they play in East Africa," said Dr. Okello. "The IFAW-SFS partnership brings together our organizations' shared passion, vision, research, and management resources to help enhance the population, range and viability of the charismatic Amboseli elephant."
The first step of the project began two months ago with the radio collaring of six elephants (four male and two female), to be monitored for at least the next two years to provide critical information on elephant movement patterns within and outside of Amboseli.
With this information scientists will be able to establish the elephants' preferred habitats and why certain areas are chosen above others, and the threats that the elephants face. This information will enable the team to make clear recommendations that will be used to safeguard elephant herds for the long term.
"Seen in human terms, the information we gather will give us an elephant's eye view of optimum lifestyle standards for these giant creatures," said Isiche. "We will be able to make a case for the connection of their favoured habitats by securing critical corridors and securing the areas Amboseli that are essential for sustaining Amboseli's rich wildlife heritage, especially the elephants."
The IFAW-SFS study is part of IFAW's Amboseli Project, which includes enhancing KWS' law enforcement capabilities, leasing critical corridors and dispersal areas in community land, creating conservation awareness and local capacity for ecotourism ventures, and mitigating human-elephant conflict. The study is also a component of the SFS Center for Wildlife Management Studies Five Year Research Plan, or roadmap, which examines how land use and resource availability in the Amboseli ecosystem can be managed to foster the well-being of local communities as well as safeguarding biodiversity conservation.

Orange County leaders, including Mayor Teresa Jacobs, violated state law by deleting text messages about the paid-sick-time debate that clearly were public record, State Attorney Jeff Ashton said Wednesday, and should pay $500 civil fines.
Jacobs and Commissioners Scott Boyd, Fred Brummer, Jennifer Thompson and former Commissioner John Martinez each face the fines, which Ashton said could settle the issue. If they don't agree to pay, Ashton said he would file civil charges against them.

Since their start in 2007, Yarn's original Americana sound has developed into music that seekers of the unique see as the soundtrack to their lives. Yarn's first four albums were recognized by the AMA's and R&R radio charts, spending time in the top 5 at their highest point. Yarn has become one of the hardest-working and harder-touring bands for this generation's digital natives and new music folllowers.
2012 brings this grammy-nominated roots band into the music revolution, inspired by today's music devotee's hunger for artists to believe in and follow, they are giving it to the fans everyday in everyway possible. Yarn's devotion to their fans is realized in online and social sharing of their music, whether it's daily video posts, premiering fresh songs on local radio, or performing live in small town venues across the country. They are bringing songs to American music lovers, and the music lovers are responding.
Yarn's devoted followers, affectionately called the "Yarmy", answered the band's request for aid when they funded their new record through Kickstarter. Raising in excess of $5000 of the $15,000 needed, the "Yarmy" proved their allegiance to Yarn and their music being heard in 2012.
The fans have spoken, and on March 20th, Yarn releases their new album, Almost Home, produced by the multi-Grammy winning, Bil VornDick, who has worked with Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley, Bob Dylan and many others. VornDick came across a Yarn performance at "Music City Roots", Nashville's progessive live music show that showcases some of the best of the Americana music scene. Although they didn't come together that night, VornDick and his wife heard Yarn on a Virginia radio live remote a few days later as they were traveling. VornDick decided it must be a sign and the rest is Yarn history.
Yarn's mojo continues to provide as they will be making their first appearance at SXSW in the New Frontier Showcase, and traveling in the "On the Fly" RV, courtesy of their 2012 sponsorship with Firefly Vodka. "It seems every good connection leads to another," says Christiana, "our fan following has really put us in a place to get noticed and we want to repay them for the huge faith in us." Yarn's good karma keeps building, being in the right place at the right time. They were recently featured on CNN's Out Front, during a cover story on Firefly Distilleries. The band just happened to be in town and their music made a believer out of CNN host, Erin Burnett, who, (as she sings along with the band), proclaims, "They are playing good music and living the American dream. We think Yarn is going to make it big!"
Yarn is led by singer/songwriter and cult-master, Blake Christiana, who carries the torch for the fan-following that will transport Yarn into the promised land. "Our fans are like family. We are so grateful to people that love music and will help support us in creating it. It's just remarkable," Christiana says. "That's half of my love of the road; we've got what feels like family in tons of cities across America."
Yarn's devoted "family" has them following in the fine tradition of The Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic, whose fans will go to any length to see them live, and this year Yarn's fans will see them plenty. Their rigorous tour schedule has them out on the road for more than 150 dates per year since 2007 and they are not slowing down.
For Yarn, discussion of life on the road goes right back to the audience and the fan's benevolence. "They want us to survive and to keep creating music, so they will bring us into their homes, let us sleep in their beds, cook for us...the level of generosity is unbelievable," says Christiana. The Yarn sextet doesn't hold back when it comes to rewarding their followers for their loyalty. "We are so exposed to our fans...we don't sit on the bus or hide in the green room, we are hanging out, drinking beer with them, going out after the show...if anyone wants to get to know us on a more personal level, it's very easy," admits Christiana. They also make sure that all their live shows are recorded and online for fans freely. "We have been doing that for a few years, and the fans love it," says Christiana, "whatever it takes, we want to do for anybody that comes out to our shows."
Is there a mark of success for Yarn? Christiana states it well, "To live comfortably and make music for our fans. I just want to be able to do what I love and eat...so maybe I'm already there," he laughs, "we want to make good music and hopefully that makes someone else's life better."
Stay tuned, 2014 looks like Yarn may unravel the American dream.
