A Grand Bargain: Balancing the National Security, Economic, and Immigration Interests of the U.S. and Mexico
This policy paper calls for a "Grand Bargain" between the United States and Mexico to address the areas of immigration and national security. Such a bargain would address the conflicting realities of the U.S.-Mexico relationship. The bargain would be composed of three completely integrated programs and two additional areas that need to be adressed. This three-(plus two)-pronged approach would realistically address the most vexing problems in the bilateral relationship, and deliver to both sides the outcomes they most urgently desire.
The programs called for include a registration program followed by an earned regularization program, a broad temporary worker program, and new border security arrangements. In addition, the bargain would allow Mexican immigrants to reunify with their closest family members on an expedited basis, and would include working with Mexico to target high out-migration areas for social infrastructure and economic development initiatives.
The policy paper urges the U.S. and Mexican presidents, when they meet in Monterrey, Mexico on March 22, 2002, to announce they are restarting bilateral negotiations, and to direct their negotiators to create a detailed plan of action, within six months, which addresses all four priorities.

II. National Security
III. Economic and Program Administration Issues

Perry faces backlash over jobs raids
Gov. Rick Perry's high-profile efforts to lure jobs to Texas from other states may be good business and smart politics back home, but they're infuriating to prominent Democrats around the country.
And now at least one Republican business leader says Perry's taking the Lone Star swagger a little too far.
Story Continued Below
Perry's forceful recruitment campaigns, featuring radio and magazine ads as well as personal appearances, promise low-tax, pro-growth policies in Texas — and they also trash the business climate in places like California ("I hear building a business in California is next to impossible") and Illinois ("an environment that, intentionally or not, is designed for you to fail").
( Also on POLITICO: Rick Perry on why North Korea targeted Texas)
Those attacks hit where it hurts and have touched off an angry political backlash against Perry outside the Texas borders, with Democrats mocking his attempts to steal jobs as clownish — and warning the Republican governor to keep his hands off. In a memorable put -down, Gov. Jerry Brown said Perry's incursions into California were about as effective as breaking wind.
But other observers say Perry knows exactly what he's doing.
"At the end of the day, no matter how any of the [states] respond, people are left with two distinct messages: That guy down in Texas has got big brass balls and he's creating a lot of jobs," Mark Mc-Kinnon, a political strategist with deep Texas ties, told POLITICO. "It's brilliant marketing and very smart politics."
McKinnon also noted, "Of course, it breaks all the rules of interstate diplomacy and protocol."
Perry has stepped up jobs raids into the blue states of Illinois and California this year, efforts that come as he looks to announce his next political step after the Texas legislative session concludes. His current gubernatorial term is up in 2014, and he hasn't ruled out a 2016 presidential run.
( PHOTOS: Republicans, 2016 contenders)
The governor's bids to encourage companies to relocate — critics call it "poaching" — are the most aggressive in the nation, according to experts.
"It's irresistible to a lot of governors, but Perry has been the leader," said Mark Muro, a senior fellow and director of policy for the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution. "This is not necessarily the best way for state executives to spend time, but it's hard to resist. It's politically attractive, the chief executive is seen as, quote, 'trying to do something.' Any successful relocation offers the tried-and-true moment of the ribbon cutting, so it's pretty intoxicating stuff."
President Barack Obama's home state of Illinois has been in the sights of several Republican governors, including Chris Christie of New Jersey, Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Rick Scott of Florida. They all have tried to lure Illinois companies to move and set up shop in what the GOP chief executives bill as their lower-tax, lower-regulation states. But even Scott acknowledged — in a letter to members of the Illinois business community — that Texas is leading the way. He noted that the Sunshine State is "nipping at the heels of Texas everyday, as we approach the No. 1 spot."
Some of those who have been on the receiving end say that Perry raises eyebrows as much for his grating style as for the substance of his pitch.
"The biggest difference with Perry was, he was kind of like a Roman emperor coming into town with horns blowing in front of his arrival, his parade," Doug Whitley, the president and CEO of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, told POLITICO.

A motorcyclist was critically injured at noon Friday when a woman pulled in front of him on a busy highway.
Martin Kaczynski, 63, of Renfrew was driving his 2011 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide east on Route 422 when a Chevy Cobalt driven by Bonnie Gundlach, 67, of Portersville pulled out of the Kwik Fill in Franklin Township near the Butler Fairgrounds.
Kaczynski, who was wearing a helmet, was flown by medical helicopter to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh with what police reports called "major injuries."
Gundlach, who was not hurt, was charged with a violation for entering or crossing a roadway.
Route 422 was closed between the intersection with Unionville Road and the Route 528 ramps near the fairgrounds.
No information on Kaczynski's condition was available on Friday afternoon.

It was since along time that I didn't post, ok I know, but u must forgive me since I am a busy student joining a heavy-duty college & very bad situation. So sometimes because of the shortage of my time, I forget to breath:)!!!!!
Actually I faced some troubles in the last few weeks, first of all, was my car, which had many problems in the engine. Although it is a new car!!, err ok it not a quite new err actually the model of my car is the model of 20th century, yes I know that the 20th century started in 1901 & ended in 2001 but it is still of 20th century. Ok if u insists to know, my car made in 1975 & that has make it 9 years older than me but I still the master :). However, she sometimes refuses to obey my orders to embarrass me in the street, and as wisdom said by Wiseman "that the car is like the woman, when she is new, she is like a ring in ur finger , but when she is old she will be like a pain in ur …".:)sorry, I heard this wisdom from the guard of our neighbor's house & I wrote it cz I hate my car :(
We bought this car in 1975 when Saddam's regime for the first & the last time did something good when he enables the people who had a Ph.D. to buy Mercedes cars but without taxes( Sorry but, did I mentioned that before?, that my car is Mercedes :)) but Saddam's regime didn't repeat his generous offer(this mistake :) ) again.
I wish I had a camera to supply u with recent pics of 30 years old car & let u see what time did to my woman (sorry car):). Recently I celebrated in the Golden Jubilee of my car by giving her a strong hit in left anterior side with Renault, Nice present isn't it :)
In this week I saw 2 cases in the hospital & I was successful in diagnosing one of them which was a case of a man complaining of right upper abdominal pain with changing of urine color to tea color & the case was Acute Cholecystitis(Inflammation of the gall bladder).. Can u see, I am really being a Doc.? :)
The other case was of a man too, complains of abdominal pain & swallowing (ascitis) & unfortunately, the case was a case of a malignancy. when I took the history from him he said that he is a teacher & lived in Al-Basra & he was a soldier during both Gulf War I & II so the Doctor related that Malignancy to the Depleted Uranium Missiles thrown on Iraq During the 2nd Gulf War & the last war by the Allied Forces.
I am sorry about him since he is 55 years old only, THAT'S LIVE!!!
I believe in an old true Wisdom that said
"It's not important to die, bcz we r all will die someday, but is important how to die" so I wish to choose the way of my death.
Well, I wanna tell u that Tigris changed its direction & now it's passing in front of the gate of our home, there aren't more than 3 meters between our garage & Tigris, but unfortunately it is too shallow to swim in but enough to suntan our skin near it. Actually, we didn't go fishing yet but I will do so soon as I want to cross the street to our neighbors on the other side. About my car, it is as a Titanic; sunk in the Pacific Ocean; & I as Leonardo Dicaprio trying to save my LOVE (lectures) from drowning so I lay down with my LIVE (shoes) to save it.
A new pool in Baghdad
Oooooh a new Tsunami in Baghdad
Don't worry it's not Tsunami, I am talking about what rain did to Baghdad, bcz of the bad swage system & poor maintenance to this system, Baghdad flooded with water with the 1st heavy raining this year & Baghdad become small islands separated by water, so every islands made their own party & their Island's Law & started to ask for their Independence !!!!! :):):):)
However, I wish that Sun would evaporate their dreams so as water to be united once again under the name of the United Islands of Baghdad (UIB):) :)
I watched some days ago the Operah show, in that show Operah sold some of her own things & one of the ladies bought Oprah's glasses for 2000 $, I don't envy but I want tell u that 2000$ can support 5 members-family for nearly one year in Iraq. Do u realize the situation or not yet?
This is the last post before my Mid-Term examination, so I tried to be funny before stress so I wish u found it funny, but if not try to drink 7up after finishing this post to help u digesting my jokes :)

Madness Monday: My "Bad Boys" - The Brinlee Brothers
I'll start will The Brinlee Brothers. The originals – Hiram Brinlee Sr., my great-great grandfather, and his brother, George Brinlee. (The spelling of the family name is believed to have changed from Brindley to Brinlee starting with these two brothers.) My Brinlee research began with the family legends: we are related to Collin McKinney (true), there is a strain of German in the Brinlees (true, via the McKinneys), there is a strain of Native American in the Hiram Brinlee Jr.-Susan Elizabeth Smith line (don't know), and Legend Number Four, obliquely related by my father and his brothers: "Grandma started family research but got disgusted and quit when she kept finding criminals."
After my initial research revealed that the first two items were true, I began to think the criminal part might be as well, but as I turned up what I could on George and Hiram Sr., they appeared to be ordinary farmers who had led an adventurous youth. In 1824 (or possibly 1823) they came to Texas (George serving as scout) with Collin and Daniel McKinney, and later married Daniel's daughters. A search for the Brinlee brothers on the Texas State Archives website turned up a number of documents dating to Republic of Texas times; some of these revealed that George had fought with General Edward Tarrant, while others were receipts for serving subpoenas to witnesses and performing other services in connection with murder trials. So, I thought, George and Hiram must have served as officers of the court. Only they didn't. Their names appeared following "Republic of Texas vs." They were the accused. Oops. Legend Number 4 – proven.
The Brinlee Brothers have led researchers on some crazy chases: now you see them, now you don't. They disappear in various ways, often through inconsistent spelling of the last name. George is reported to have died of cholera in the early 1850s while on a trip to New Orleans to sell cotton. He and Hiram Sr. were apparently born in that nebulous area where the dividing line between Kentucky and Tennessee was not firmly established in the early part of the 19th century (their father may have been a squatter on the Indian Lands). They are just plain old hard to pin down.
(This is the first in a new series introduced by Amy Crooks at Untangled Family Roots. I'll have no problem coming up with ancestors who drive me crazy, so you can expect to see more. Since I also post Memory Monday, this feature may be posted slightly earlier - as it is today - or slightly later. But I'll still call it Monday Madness because I don't pay much attention to the calendar, anyway.)

Great post. I really enjoyed reading, and had to be very careful not to laugh out loud as it is the middle of the night, I just got home from work and I don't want to wake the hubby and kids....lol.ReplyDelete
I'll look forward to more great posts. Sounds like and interesting family, and you're not the only one with criminals....well gee I guess I have another story for another day on my long list of stories too......
Thanks for coming up with this idea, Amy. It has really caught on. I have been too busy lately to put more Madness Monday posts up, but I have a good long list of subjects for them, since I have plenty of crazy ancestors and ancestors who drive me crazy. I hope to put one up next Monday that will tie into my Featured Family Friday this week.ReplyDelete
Hello, I am Steve R. Hendricks, DOB 1948. My Grandfather, Roger Q. Mills Hendricks' mother was Sarah B. Brinlee. I know quite a bit about my Grandmother's side of our family, but little about GrandPa's! I found your story interesting. Who were the two Brothers that lived alone and passed maybe 35-40 years ago? I remember something about this being in the McKinney paper, and also my father talking about it, being our kin.ReplyDelete
Oh, I see it was Bun & Square! Wondering if you know anything about My Grandfather's mother, Sarah B. Brinlee?ReplyDelete
Also, My Grandfather on my mothers side was a Moore! Richard T Moore, buried in Tahoka, Texas, Lynn County.

Research published by energy regulator Ofgem shows that up to 68 per cent of households in Scotland that take both gas and electricity could save around £307 on their energy bill by moving from a standard tariff to a fixed deal.
Ofgem's research also found that the majority of the cheapest tariffs were fixed with some deals at around £765 per year, compared to £1072 for the average variable tariff with one of the larger suppliers.
Research both by Ofgem and the Competitions and Markets Authority shows that, across the country, around 68 per cent of consumers are still on expensive standard tariffs. This trend would translate in Scotland into around 1.6 million households on standard tariffs.
Ofgem chief Dermot Nolan said: "Ofgem's research shows that many customers in Scotland now could be better off to the tune of around £307 by moving from a variable rate to a fixed rate deal.
''Switching now could take some of the pain out of this winter's energy bills.
"Nearly half of all consumers switching are now moving to independent suppliers and not only are consumers benefiting from greater choice of supplier, but Ofgem has strengthened consumer protection for those choosing fixed tariffs.
''There has never been a better time to go energy shopping and our 'Be An Energy Shopper' website gives you independent advice on how to get a better energy deal and links to Ofgem-accredited switching sites."
Angus MacDonald, Falkirk East MSP, said: "I would encourage everyone to go energy shopping this winter.
"It's now easier than ever to find the best deal and you could save around £307 a year just by switching from a standard tariff to a fixed deal.
''With Christmas just around the corner, energy shopping can actually save you money to spend on presents so make sure you add it to your Christmas shopping list."

Councilman Stephen Levin has been attacked by his opponent, Stephen Pierson, for supporting Assemblyman Vito Lopez throughout his political career.
The councilman worked for Lopez, who has been dogged over the past year by sexual harassment allegations involving female staffers
At his campaign kickoff event at Borough Hall last week, Pierson criticized Levin for allocating taxpayer money to the Ridgewood Bushwick Senior Center, an organization associated with Lopez.
At a recent event, Levin was asked if he thought it was fair that he was being attacked over his relationship with the assemblyman, artfully deflecting the question.
"I work day in and day out to represent the residents of the 33rd District," he said. "I'm very proud of my record on the Council."
Pierson, who sits on Community Board 2, notes his leadership of a non-profit organization and his 14 years living in the district as qualifications for running for office.
"I don't have political baggage." he said of Levin's ties to Lopez, who was head of the Kings County Democratic Party before he resigned when the allegations came to light.
Despite that, Pierson did praise Levin for some of his work on the legislative side of things.
"There are a lot of things that he has done that I support," he said, calling Levin a "progressive."
However, he said that it is Levin's relationship with Lopez that caused him to throw his hat in the ring.
"When all of the details of Lopez came to light, he was the only local politician who was completely silent," Pierson said. "I found that to be an outrage."
Although he has not discussed his policies in detail yet, Pierson said that he plans to announce "innovative solutions" over the course of the next six weeks.
Levin said his focus is on his constituents.
"Our priority has always been to serve the needs of the residents in the district," he said. "There is a lot that we need to talk about in a campaign, and those are the issues that are facing peoples' everyday lives."
The councilman believes he and Pierson aren't that different.
"I think it's clear that the same ideals that drove me to run for office four years ago are the ideals that are diving him to run for office," he said. "We want to make a positive impact in our community."

Todays tutorial is another easy stamping technique, an other all over print that is simple to do with 3 steps. The kids could totally help with this one too, well the older kids!
How this all got started... I bought these plain sweatpants at H&M and I knew I wanted to make them fun with an all over print, for weeks I wondered what I would do... I thought geometric shapes, I thought of putting boats or trucks. I was trying to find something my son liked without it being to intricate nor girly. Then I started to think of all the things he liked and the legos came to mind... he spends hours playing with his legos- PERFECT!
So today I bring you- The Lego Stamp tutorial...
What you need:
- 2 legos preferably the same size
- Some Sweatpants or anything you want.... dish towels, a scarf, a t-shirt, a pillow case etc...
- Fabric Paint ( I used Pebeo metallic black)
- Paint brush ( I used a stenciling sponge)
- Iron to heat set your paint, if needed
STEP1: stack 2 legos one on top of the other.
STEP2: Apply some paint to the bottom of your lego.
STEP3: Stamp the front and let it dry... Stamp the back and let it dry.
STEP4: Iron if your paint fabric requires it.
There you go! All done...

A PILOT who crashed at the Shoreham Airshow today has been described by colleagues as a 'gifted display pilot'.
Andy Hill was flying a Hunter Hawker during a display at around 1.20pm when it crashed into the ground into cars on the A27.
Seven are confirmed dead in the incident, with one further person suffering life-threatening injuries and 14 walking wounded.
Pilot David Wildridge, who had flown with the Tiger Nine display earlier today said: "Andy Hill was a British Airways captain and very well thought of," he said.
"He is a highly experienced pilot, well-known and well-loved. He is highly professional and it is totally unusual for this to happen."
"He was a Harrier pilot in the air force. They are the top RAF pilots - the best of the best."
"It is difficult to make any comment on the crash which would be meaningful until the investigation is complete. His wife was also a British Airways captain and our thoughts are with the family. It was just very sad when it happened."
Mr Wildridge flew Hunters himself in the RAF.
He said: "It is very emotional for us. The Hunters have a characteristic sound. When everything is right you hear it and that is what we heard as it made its first pass above the airfield."
Tiger Nine commentator Tim Emrys-Roberts said: "Andy has displayed in many aircraft including the RV80 propeller aircraft."
He described the fireballs witnessed after the crash and explained it was likely this was due to the foam being used to control the blaze.
"In a fuel fire it is sprayed with foam which puts a block up and stops it spreading."
Flying is currently suspended and visitors are only able to leave the event on foot.
The A27 remains closed in both directions.
A Sussex Police spokesman said: "Police are advising all drivers to avoid the A27 in the Shoreham area for rest of today, Saturday (22 August)) after a an aircraft has crashed.
"At about 1.20pm the aircraft hit several cars on the A27 just to the north of Shoreham Airport, where an air display is taking place. The aircraft ended up in a bush. There have been several casualties but we have no further information on these at the moment.
"The A27 has been closed in both directions and drivers are asked to avoid the area until further notice.
"Further information will be released as soon as possible."

Listening to: Sheryl Crow
Reading: next on my TBR
Busy day yesterday. Went into town with son and Madam while DH visited his mother. Nipped into Borders and signed the most enormous pile of books – this little lot in front of me is a tiny fraction of them. Every time I thought I was making headway, the store manager appeared with another pile. Madam was in charge of adding the 'signed by author' stickers, and son was in charge of stacking them. Son also took photograph (urrgh, first one was a side-on view. A definite incentive to sort out weight control. I have been doing about 15,000 steps a day during the hols, though).
Then we went shopping for Madam's birthday pressie. Unfortunately, the bracelet she wanted was unavailable (the one with the lobster clasp and a dangly bit), but we bought the charm she wanted. Persuaded the kids to let me go into a couple of churches (and what a LOVELY welcome we had at St George's Tombland) for pics; then lunch; then home.
Unbeknown to Madam, I did a quick ring round the other three jewellers in Norfolk who stock Pandora. Managed to source her bracelet, and even better they're posting it to me (cost is much less than the petrol would be, as said jeweller is in Burnham). Am looking forward to seeing her face on Saturday when she opens a small parcel, expecting it to be just the teddy bear charm, and discovers the bracelet attached to it. I love putting a bit of sunshine into people's lives.
Apparently snow fell in London yesterday – the first time it's snowed in London during October since 1934. This morning, we appear to have another sharp frost, but thankfully no white stuff. Hope it stays away.
Plans for today: lazy day in. Really, REALLY must tidy desk...

The Most Historically Important Perverts Of All Time
These are some of the most influential, famous and historically important human beings of all time (who also happened to be huge, shameless perverts and/or deviants.) Sure they were all a little predatory, but we wouldn't be where we are without these forward-thinking men who, in modern day, would have red dot above their house in a government database.
Marquis De Sade was a French aristocrat, revolutionary, and writer. He's most famous for bringing explicit material to people in a time where showing off your ankles was scandalous.
Marquis de Sade became famous for his libertine sexuality and lifestyle (i.e., a person without moral restraint, free thinkers), but mostly for his suggestive novels. He also left the world with the practice of S&M. That's right, the man invented S&M. How? Well, first of all, it's NAMED after him.
The term, "sadism," is based on Marquis de SADe: the idea of developing pleasure as a result of inflicting pain. "Masochism" is first seen in some of De Sade's more Gothic-inclined sexual novels, where, for example, the female character is bound and tormented, but also fondled, and develops a kind of attraction to her tormentors.
Sade's tales began with an affair with his wife's sister, imprisoning a so-called "lady of the night" for pleasure and abuse (she escaped from the second floor window and ran away ... possible idea for a Disney film? Title: "Rapunzel"...), and poisoning two manservants with the Spanish Fly aphrodisiac.
Being the good wife that she was, Sade's wife she then joined as his accomplice in hoarding pleasure concubines and staffed the castle with young "employees" of both genders for Sade's pleasure. That's how this guy rolled. and why he's at the top of this list. The guy didn't just have a dungeon for his dirty deeds, he had a freakin' CASTLE.
During his life, Sade was in prison or the insane asylum for 32 years, though, due to his prolific writing and sexual deviance. Napoleon Bonaparte (another pervert who used to write to his mistress long poetry about her pubic hair, no foolin') ordered the final arrest of Sade, but the libertine was able to score one more affair with a 13-year old for 4 four years before he passed on in 1814.
He laughs at Chris Hansen from his grave.Notably, he was in the insane asylum at the time, which would 100% make him win the "weirdest place you've made whoopie" game at your local baby shower. Sade's main goal in his writings was to create "the most impure tale that has ever been written since the world exists." Not bad for his time.see more on Marquis de Sade
Aleister Crowley was a British writer, prophet and magician, though not quite the bunny-in-a-hat type that most people love. The real kind. The kind that does a lot of drugs, doesn't shower and makes love with people as part of his religion.
He was a well-known occultist. As prophet of his new religion, Crowley developed Thelema, a polytheistic religion that ushered in the belief its followers should follow their own "True Will" and neglect their ego. Basically he was a famous almost-real-life-warlock who stirred up a bunch of people at a time when it was relatively easy to stir people up.
Apparently, the faith parallels that idea the (at the time) new 20th century would usher in a new ethical code that would be followed as the beginning of the Aeon of Horus: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
Crowley not only founded a religion based on magik, he also founded something called "Sexual Magik" (no, this wasn't discovered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Sting,) which is basically just using climax and/or arousal (and sometimes fluids) as parts of a spell. That's the class that Hogwarts doesn't teach until the last year.
Here are some great quotes on his particular brand of magic, and how best to go about it (take out your pens and pads!):
- In the "New Comment" to The Book of the Law, "the Beast 666 adviseth that all children shall be accustomed from infancy to witness every type of coital act, as also the process of birth, lest falsehood fog, and mystery stupefy, their minds." Translation: all kids should see every kind of act as soon as they get control of their motor skills. They also have to witness a birth. Never lie to your kids (so no Santa Claus, I guess).
- "... Politeness has forbidden any direct reference to the subject of sex to secure no happier result than to allow Sigmund Freud and others to prove that our every thought, speech, and gesture, conscious or unconscious, is an indirect reference!" Everyone, do what feels right. Go nuts, kids, and in about 70 years listen to KISS.see more on Aleister Crowley
Freud is the founder of psychiatry and the initiator of the "Talking Cure" (aka, $300/hour for a person who won't chew your head off if you don't shut up about your life). He identified the study of psychoanalysis, bringing forth repressed thoughts and feelings into consciousness. Oh, and he recommended a great antidepressant: cocaine. He also believes we all want to bang our parents and, for some reason, smoke penises.
He broke down the psyche into three components of personality: the Id ("pleasure principle", wants us to bang everything), the Ego ("reality principle"), and the SuperEgo (the aim for perfection, mainly unconscious and contains the person's "ego ideals" aka the conscience).
Freud admittedly had sexual feelings for his mother and his following work/research, although extremely useful and revolutionary, was basically one big, long "am I right guys? No? But what if..."
Obviously, this turned into excellent research material, where Freud conceived the "Psychosexual Theory", identifying 5 key stages of libido development.
Yes, the libido begins developing at birth. After all, according to Freud, infants are primitive sexual beings. The stages of development are aptly titled the Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, and Genital stages. As part of the Phallic phase, Freud "uncovers" the subconscious sexual attachment children have to the parent of the opposite sex. Naturally, this leads to jealousy and a host of other emotional issues, which then contribute to repressed memories and feelings, ultimately driving up the cost and time of "talking cure" sessions.
Of course, Freud never tested his theory on babies himself, but did use the findings of his adult patients' psychoanalysis to uncover these "truths".
"Hey, so uh, pretty sexy kid ya got there, mind if I ask you a few questions?..."
When asked about sexual perverts, Freud identifies his own father for his sexual perversion and contribution to his brother's hysteria (aka mentally insane)."I learned it from watching YOU!" see more on Sigmund Freud
James Joyce was an author responsible for seminal works like a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Dubliners, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. He's one of the greatest Irish writers of all time. He's one of those authors whose work screamo bands name themselves after because they just learned about him in AP English class. He's that good.
He is one of the most remembered figures of the Modernist movement and helped usher in a new way of writing language. His writings experimented with structure in ways that have never done before and changed the way people read words. He had a chapter with five letters in it. Nobody'd done that before.
He is responsible for some of literature's greatest moments and has taken people to new places and emotions they've never felt before. He proves that words never die.
Well, for one thing, he liked to fart on people's faces while having sex (and no, he wasn't Canadian). He even wrote really passionate letters about it. Check it out right here.
A few favorite fart quotes:
"if a gave you a bigger stronger f**k than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an asse full of farts that night, darling, and I f**ked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole."
We are not kidding. These are real quotes from one of literature's greatest voices.
"It is wonderful to f**k a farting woman when every f**k drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also."Needless to say, to all high school undergrads, you finally have English essay material. And now I say, "Goodnight, my little farting Nora, my dirty little f**kbird!" You don't see that quoted on Barnes & Noble billboards. see more on James Joyce

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has reduced its benefits claims backlog by 144,000 in the past five months. While that's commendable to the chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, it's not enough to relax in that endeavor.
"Some say that since VA has made progress in chipping away at the backlog, we should stop leaning so hard on the Department of Veterans Affairs in getting them to eliminate (the backlog)," Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., told The American Legion National Convention Aug. 28. "The over half a million veterans that are still out there in a backlog situation would probably disagree with removing the pressure from VA.
"You can describe it 100 different ways, but it is a huge mountain that has, over time, gotten to the point where it almost looks insurmountable. So we've established a piece of legislation that basically puts the framework in place that uses the VA, VSOs (and) the veterans community in helping the VA to solve that backlog that exists out there. I want the VA to hit their goal of removing the backlog that exists out there by 2015. I know that is a goal that you share as well, and I certainly hope that the president shares it as well."
Miller has called for the creation of a backlog task force that would provide recommendations for improving VA's claims process and operations, and then continue to work with VA in reducing the backlog. He defended that strategy to the Legion.
"Some have criticized our task force by saying it's adding an additional burden for VA to accomplish while they're trying to reduce the backlog. But I say this – government bureaucrats under both Republican and Democrat administrations created the backlog. So it's only natural to solicit from leaders outside the VA – those in the private sector and the VSO community to help solve this problem.
"To those that are skeptical about this approach, consider this: VA leaders have been promising to reduce the backlog since the first term of George W. Bush, and look where we are today. We are all pulling for VA to hit that goal of 2015. But I say that by establishing a backlog task force, we can find a common-sense way of making sure that they meet that goal of 2015."
But Miller said the task force and VA will need help in ending the backlog – and that help can come from only one person.
"President Obama has got to become personally involved in ending the backlog – just as members of Congress on both sides of the aisle and many in the VSO community have implored him to do on multiple occasions," he said. "We all know that the backlog predates the Obama administration. But that's all the more reason we're going to need the president's help if we're going to solve the problem."
"The president did take time a short time ago to talk to veterans about the backlog… and I commend him for doing that. In listening to the president's speech, I was struck by what he did not say. He made no reference to the oft-cited 2015 goal… even though he is the only person with the power to make sure VA lives up to its word. And the president did not pledge to ensure that VA and (the Department of Defense) work together to finally have one joint, individual health electronic record – even though there is nearly unanimous consent that such a step would help shrink the backlog. President Obama is the only person in position to hold DoD and VA leaders directly accountable, and his involvement and personal leadership is essential to solving these critical problems."
Miller also criticized VA for what he called "an emerging pattern… of preventable deaths and lapses in care at VA medical centers across this country." He pointed to deaths of patients at VA facilities in Pittsburgh and Atlanta, where the administrators received bonuses, and in New York where an administrator received a nearly $26,000 bonus "while overseeing chronic misuses of insulin pins that potentially exposed hundreds of veterans to blood-borne illnesses."
"These are but a few instances of what seems to become standard operating procedure at VA: Management failures that border on the criminal, accompanied by rewards rather than consequences or accountability," Miller said. "The vast majority of the 300,000 employees at VA are dedicated and are hard-working. They deserve better than to have the reputation of their organization dragged through the mud by a bunch of executives too busy patting themselves on the back to take responsibility.
"Both Republicans and Democrats on our committee stand united against this pattern of rewarding failure. That's why we've approved legislation that would ban VA executive bonuses for five years."
Miller also said that while VA has significantly increased its mental health budget, it hasn't resulted in significant performance increases. He said most veterans seeking mental health care wait an average of 50 days before receiving an evaluation. "It takes courage for a veteran to stand up and ask for help," Miller said. "They deserve more than simply to be told to stand in line."
Miller told Legionnaires that during sequestration, veterans should not have to worry about their programs being properly funded.
"Right now, in a time when you hear about government shutdowns and you hear about things like continuing resolutions, the VA should not have to worry – nor should the veterans of this country worry – whether or not their funding will come in a timely fashion," he said. "I think it's critical we put 100 percent of the VA budget on a two-year cycle so when we have things like what we're about to have when we return to Washington in about 10 days that we don't have a (continuing resolution) that affects your funding, nor the threat of a government shutdown that would affect your funding."

Nov 13, 2010
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With the 2010 volleyball regular season in the record books the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles await Jacksonville State in the first round of the OVC Tournament.
Behind a 10-19 record and an 8-10 OVC mark, the Golden Eagles will take part in their fourth straight OVC Tournament as they take on the Jacksonville State Gamecocks Thursday, at 3:30 p.m. CT.
"They'll be excited to face Jacksonville State," head coach John Blair said. "We start the season anew and we have to make sure we're the best going out of the tournament, not just the best going in."
All matches in the OVC Tournament will be played in Morehead, Ky., as Morehead State finished first in the OVC standings with a 17-1 OVC.
In their two previous matches this season, Tennessee Tech notched a pair of 3-1 victories against JSU. Tech is 4-2 against the Gamecocks over the last three seasons.
TTU wrapped up its 2010 season Saturday evening with a 3-1 loss to Southeast Missouri.
"It's a little disappointing for our seniors, but Southeast Missouri played great tonight," Blair said.
After dropping the first set 25-19, the Golden Eagles rallied in the second set as they notched a 25-15 win, behind seven kills from senior Marie Peddicord, to head into the locker room tied up at one set apiece.
The crucial third set saw both teams tied at 16, midway through the set. Both teams continued to battle as they were tied up at 24 to force extra points. SEMO recorded the first point, but TTU responded right back to tie it a 25. The Redhawks were able to score two straight points to take the set 27-25.
Southeast Missouri went on to win the fourth set 25-19 to take the match 3-1.
Senior Leah Meffert posted a double-double with 18 kills and 15 digs in her final appearance in Eblen Center, while freshman Allison May added 30 digs. Senior Melanie Culp posted 40 assists, and sophomore Kelsey Gray tallied eight total blocks.

Mr. Neuenfels's version is Modern German--i.e., gratuitously offensive. It is more Neuenfels than Mozart. Instead of appearing as the harbinger of peace, Idomeneo ends the opera parading the severed heads of Poseidon, Jesus, Buddha and the Prophet Muhammad. How do you spell "anachronistic balderdash"?The production -- which has already been seen, back in 2003 -- seems to be a desecration of Mozart and quite hostile to three religions -- four if anyone's still into Poseidon -- but Deutsche Oper has cancelled the production specifically out of concern for how it will affect Muslims.
Poor Mozart. Mr. Neuenfels is one of those directors more interested in nurturing his own pathologies than in offering a faithful presentation of the geniuses with whose work he has been entrusted.
There is a certain irony in all this. Our avant-gardist artistic establishment preens itself on being "transgressive," "challenging," "provocative," etc. But it prefers to exercise its anti-bourgeois animus within the coddled purlieus of bourgeois security. It has discovered that there is a big difference between exhibiting photographs of Christ on the cross in a bottle of urine or Madonna having herself "crucified" on her current concert tour and poking fun at Muhammad. The former earns you the delicious obloquy of the Catholic establishment while shoring up your credentials as a brave artistic and moral pioneer. The latter sends murderous hordes into the streets looking for something, or someone, to destroy.This is a complex problem. Neuenfels's production takes the easy faux-daring route of "Piss Christ" and the Madonna crucifixion, but at least he had the nerve to hit all religions equality, and not to single out one religion. Perhaps he did that because it wouldn't have made any sense to go after the conventional target of Christianity when it's an opera about the Trojan War. It doesn't make all that much sense to drag Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad into that setting either, but bringing them all in to join their super best friend Poseidon made some kind of crazy sense.
There are plenty of good reasons to refrain from gratuitously insulting other people's religions. For one thing, it is bad manners. One should respect what is respectable in the habits, mores and beliefs of other people.
But this does not mean that we should allow ourselves to be blackmailed by militant fanatics who shelter under the authority of religion and employ the freedoms of Western democracy to attack and undermine those very freedoms.
Now that some Muslims have made it painfully obvious that religion-taunting is not an easy game anymore, abandoning it expresses fear, not respect for religion. And continuing to disrespect the religions that don't lash back only highlights that cowardice. Poor transgressive rebel artists! How are they to shock the middle class anymore?

An Invitation to Sociology
Sociology explores social life in all its fascinating variety. We illuminate the intricate processes through which human beings express their social being: cooperation, conflict, power, exchange, morality, symbolism, solidarity, domination, dependency, affection, morality, identity, deviance, social control, and violence. We also study the forms those processes take: face-to-face interaction, social networks, small groups, subcultures, families, gender divisions, religion, popular and high culture, social class, structures of race and ethnicity, bureaucracy, social movements, professions, the state, even the larger world of relations among states. Our students learn to identify these social processes and forms in any topic they study.
The subjects that sociologists study are practically limitless. Our course and research topics range far and wide: from the big global forces that shape immigration to the United States and elsewhere to the most personal of identity dilemmas faced by their second-generation children; from the powerful impact of law on the design and flow of our urban life to the changing boundaries of race, religion and ethnicity; from life in immense, hierarchical institutions to the most intimate realm of sexuality and the body; from the organization and ideology of social movements that shake established structures to the meanings encoded in popular culture texts, child-rearing practices, and inaugural speeches; from the complex entangled forces of labor market and demography that produce inequality to the micro-forces that shape Wall Street traders and art auctioneers. And that's only for starters. Sociology students can either develop a broad knowledge in a diverse array of subjects or proficiency on a concentrated topic.
Sociologists offer a distinctive, often surprising take on the topics that consume friendly discussion and public policy debate, tv punditry and social movement rhetoric. They do so by deploying careful research methods to expose what the casual observer often cannot see. The methods themselves may vary. Some scholars look to the sciences and quantitative data to uncover causal connections among social phenomena. Others embrace the methods of historical inquiry, delving into archives and oral history. Some ask people directly to respond to large surveys, in-depth interviews, or requests for biographical narratives. Still others are drawn to the practices of participatory observation and ethnography, heading to the field to clarify conundrums through intimate contact and close observation. But whether sociologists look to humanist, historical, or scientific endeavors for their inspiration, it is this ideal of rigorous methodology that lies at the heart of the field, and imparting it defines our undergraduate mission. Such proficiency equips our students with skills not just for their academic courses but for the entire array of professions and experiences that beckon them.

More Than 1,000 Preventable Deaths a Day Is Too Many: The Need to Improve Patient Safety.
- Classic
Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging, 113th Cong (July 17, 2014). (Testimony of John James, PhD; Ashish Jha, MD, MPH; Tejal Gandhi, MD, MPH; Peter Pronovost, MD, PhD; Joanne Disch, PhD, RN; Lisa McGiffert.)
A group of patient safety experts, including Drs. Peter Pronovost, Ashish Jha, and Tejal Gandhi, testified to Congress that more must be done to track and prevent widespread patient harms. The title of the hearing was based on the seminal study estimating that as many as 200,000 to 400,000 patients experience harms that contribute to their death each year. The medical experts recounted the lack of significant progress since the landmark Institute of Medicine report in 1999, and they called on Congress to task the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with tracking medical errors and patient harm. Dr. John James, a scientist who became engaged in patient safety efforts following the death of his son due to medical errors, recommended that lawmakers establish a National Patient Safety Board, similar to the current National Transportation Safety Board. A prior AHRQ WebM&M perspective discussed the many challenges of measuring patient safety.

Namadgi National Park. Aboriginal rock art inside a rock shelter near Rendezvous Creek. Once upon a time there would have been a maintained trail to the rock shelter as a couple of old disused visitor signs were still standing nearby (very dirty and weathered now but can be read if you try), as was a bushwalking register. The register is still in active use, as the last log entry from visitors was dated merely two days ago.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.
