Made another test video to see how the Phone Poncho would fare when exposed to a leisurely day at the beach.
Here's the situation: You're at the beach with your family, and you decide to go for a walk down the shoreline before lunch. You bring your phone with you in case something comes up.
While you're gone, the fam decides that they want Del's Cheesesteaks for lunch and call to get your order. You're taking the phone out of your pocket to answer when – OH NO – it slips and falls into the sand!
If sand gets into the headphone jack or dock connector, it will be a huge pain in the neck to try to get out, and could do some serious damage to your very expensive iPhone!
Instead, stop being a cheapo, shell out the $10 bucks, and get a Phone Poncho!!

Do we want to use the tax code to subsidize home ownership? And, if we do, is the mortgage interest deduction the best way to do it? A new paper by my Tax Policy Center colleagues Eric Toder and Katherine Lim, along with Urban Institute researchers Margery Turner and Liza Getsinger, asks these provocative questions, and comes up with some surprising answers.
To even ask seems almost un-American—almost like suggesting we replace barbeque at the Memorial Day picnic with, oh, tofu. But a close look suggests there is much less to the hallowed deduction than meets the eye. Thus, we'd miss it much less than we think.
In 2012, the deduction will reduce federal revenues by $131 billion. In contrast, the entire budget for the Department of Housing and Urban Development is just $48 billion. The conventional wisdom says these tax breaks are important because A) they increase home ownership and B) homeowners are more engaged in their communities than renters.
It turns out that neither of these assumptions is necessarily true. For instance, for a half century--until the recent real estate boom and bust--home ownership rates in the U.S. have barely budged even though the value of the deduction has fluctuated widely. Similarly, there is no clear connection between home ownership and the availability of mortgage deductions in other countries.
The exact relationship between home ownership and other social benefits is just as uncertain. We know home owners are more connected to their communities than renters. But is that because they own a house, or is it merely that the same types of people who are engaged in their communities are also prone to home ownership? We don't really know.
We do know, however, that the deduction is not a very efficient way to encourage home ownership. Most benefits go to high-income households that would probably buy a house with or without the deduction. Since non-itemizers get no benefit from the deduction, it is not surprising that most of the subsidy goes to upper-bracket taxpayers.
So is there a better way? The paper looks at a half-dozen alternatives, from eliminating the mortgage subsidy entirely to capping its value or turning it into a credit. Not surprisingly, each design has its own set of winners and losers.
To take one example: If the goal is to encourage homeownership among people who otherwise would not buy, what if we replaced the deduction with a credit? Remember that credits are usually a better deal for middle-income households. Simple example: A 20 percent credit on $1,000 of interest is worth $200 no matter what your tax bracket or whether you itemize. But a $1,000 deduction is worth $350 to someone in the 35 percent bracket but only $100 to an itemizer in the 10 percent bracket, and nothing to someone who takes the standard deduction ).
The paper looks at four different credits, each of which provides the same total subsidy amount as the current deduction. For instance, replacing the deduction with a non-refundable credit equal to 20 percent of interest payments would raise average after-tax incomes for households in the lowest 80 percent of the income distribution, with middle-income households getting the biggest average benefit. However, on average those in the top 20 percent would do less well with the credit than with today's deduction. A non-refundable 100% credit capped at about $2,000 would benefit middle-income households even more but raise taxes more for people in the top 20 percent.
Sadly, the study also explains why the deduction is likely to stay right where it is. The big winners under the current system are upper-middle-class suburbanites who disproportionately own homes, itemize deductions, and spend a relatively large share of their income on mortgage interest. And nobody wants to get them mad, either by cutting their housing subsidies or feeding them tofu.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (July 8, 2012) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team was awarded the 2012 FIVB World League silver medal on Sunday after falling to Poland in the championship match, 25-17, 26-24, 25-20.
The U.S. Men completed the World League Final Round with a record of 2-2 and completed the 2012 World League with an overall record of 11-5. It is the best World League finish for the U.S. Men since they won the title in 2008 and the first silver medal for the team, which won bronze in 1992 and 2007.
The U.S. won $500,000 for the second-place finish.
U.S. opposite and team captain Clay Stanley (Honolulu) was named the Best Server of the World League Final Round, finishing with nine aces, including three on Sunday, for an average of .64 per set. Stanley also finished second among all Final Round scorers with 62 points on 49 attacks, four blocks and nine aces.
"In the beginning of World League, I didn't think we'd be in this position," Stanley said. "I thought our team improved each weekend. We did a lot of great things to get to this final, although I'm disappointed in how we showed up to play tonight."
It is the first time that the U.S. Men have medaled in World League in the same year that the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team has medaled in the FIVB Grand Prix. The U.S. Women won the Grand Prix on July 1.
"I'm disappointed in the way we played tonight," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said. "But a lot of really good things have come out in the last few weeks. These were important matches for us. We wanted to reach the final and experience these matches and build toward the Olympic Games."
On Sunday, Poland led the overall statistics in kills (42-32), blocks (11-7) and aces (7-3). The U.S. Men led in digs, 18-13.
Stanley (Honolulu) led the U.S. with 15 points on a team-high 12 attacks and three aces. Outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) added eight points on six kills and two blocks.
Middle blocker Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) finished with seven points on four attacks and a team-high three blocks. Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) added five points on four attacks and one block.
Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) tallied four points on three attacks and one block. Outside hitter Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) totaled two points on two kills. Outside hitter Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.) had one point with a kill.
Setter Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) was credited with 13 assists. Setter Brian Thornton (San Clemente, Calif.), who substituted for Suxho in the third set, had one.
The two combined to set the U.S. Men to a 41.0 kill percent and a .218 hitting efficiency. Poland had a 54.0 kill percent and a .421 hitting efficiency.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) was credited with five excellent receptions and three digs. Stanley led the team in digs with five. Rooney led the team in excellent receptions with six.
Poland's Zbigniew Bartman, who was named Best Spiker, led all scorers with 16 points on 14 attacks, one block and one ace. Bartosz Kurek, who was named the Final Round Most Valuable Player, added 15 points on 11 attacks, one block and three aces.
Cuba defeated Bulgaria, 25-18, 19-25, 23-25, 25-23, 15-12 to win the bronze medal.
U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) started Anderson and Rooney at outside hitter, Holmes and Lee at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite, Suxho at setter and Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) at libero.
Priddy substituted for Rooney in the second set and started the third. Thornton took over for Suxho in the third set. Lotman took over for Anderson in the third. David McKienzie (Littleton, Colo.) also played as a substitute.
Next up for the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team will be the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The team will leave its training headquarters in Anaheim, Calif., on July 19 and will begin competition on July
Poland took an 8-6 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) as the U.S. got points from a Holmes block and two kills, and Anderson spike and a Stanley ace. The U.S. tied the score at 9-9, including blocks from Anderson and Lee. But with the score tied 11-11, Poland scored three straight points and went on to lead 16-13 at the second TTO. Poland still led by three at 19-16 when it used a 4-0 run to lead 23-16 and went on to win the set, 25-17. Poland led the set in kills, 13-8, blocks, 5-3 and aces, 3-1.
The U.S. Men took an 8-7 lead at the first TTO of the second set, getting points on kills by Lee, Holmes, Rooney and Anderson along with four Poland errors. Poland regained the lead at 13-12, but served into the net. Stanley countered with two straight aces to give the U.S. a 15-13 lead. A Poland kill ended the run, but Priddy, who had substituted for Rooney, gave the U.S. the 16-14 lead at the second TTO with an attack of his own. After the break, Priddy scored with a back-row attack and Poland called timeout. Poland came back to tie the score at 20-20. Poland took set point at 24-22, but the U.S. scored on a Priddy kill and Holmes block to tie the score. Poland took a second set point on Michal Winiarski's spike off the block and Bartman won the set for Poland with a kill off the block.
The score stayed close to open the third set with Poland leading 8-7 at the first TTO on a block from Grzegorz Kosok. With the score tied 8-8, Poland scored twice on an attack and U.S. violation. It later extended the lead to 14-10 and the U.S. called timeout. Poland came back with an ace and kill by Bartman to lead 16-10 at the second TTO.

Lobykin is a sculptor, who has forged a living out of rock and concrete — selling his original pieces and lending his expertise to restoration projects and other commissioned works. In recent years, he has worked with Stanford, using pictures and other historical documents to recreate two historical sculptures of Benjamin Franklin and Johannes Gutenberg, which had been destroyed in the Great Earthquake of 1906; he also created a giant silver shark fin, titled "No Swimming," which was first seen on the playa at Burning Man and later was temporarily displayed on the Google campus in Mountain View.
The sculptor is one of the more than 380 artists scheduled to display work during the long-running annual celebration of local art, Silicon Valley Open Studios.
Now in it's 28th year, the Open Studios event begins its 2014 this weekend, May 3-4, with artists from as far north as Burlingame and Hillsborough and as far south as Los Altos and Palo Alto opening their studios to the public, or displaying their work at galleries. The following weekend, May 10-11, focuses on more mid-Peninsula artists, from Palo Alto through Los Altos and Mountain View and on to Santa Clara. The final weekend, May 17-18, is focused mostly on South Bay artists and studios in Cupertino, San Jose, Los Gatos and Gilroy.
The event provides an opportunity for the public to take in local art from local artists. All Open Studios events are free. According to the event's director, Mel Thomsen, visitors will get the chance to see a wider range of an artist's body of work than in a typical gallery show, and in many cases, those who attend will be able to meet the artists, learn about their process and perhaps even see them work.
Visitors to Lobykin's East Palo Alto home studio will see some of his large pieces, such as "Opus," a massive, amorphous, zig-zagging chain, which resembles something you might discover while peering through a microscope at the inside of a cell — or three-dimensional snapshot of bubbles working their way through water.
"I'm looking for the roots of the form," Lobykin says of "Opus." "Where does it start?" Sentences are made of words, and words, in turn, are composed of letters, he muses. In this way letters are the roots of words and sentences. "How does that work with physical forms?"
"Opus" can double as a jungle gym, a fact that his daughter appreciates. Lobykin demonstrates by climbing up the sculpture, which easily supports his heavy frame even though it is not secured to the ground. He says it weighs thousands of pounds.
Inside the nearby garage, two of Lobykin's assistants work on similarly stringy, shapeless forms. These pieces are far lighter than "Opus" — made of foam and plaster. Lobykin still needs to smooth them down, paint them, and then arrange them for the opening weekend of Silicon Valley Open Studios. One imagines the final product looking like some sort of outsize, psychedelic, open-air kelp garden, where visitors can weave their way in and out of the 8-foot-tall sculptures, assigning their own meaning to the work.
That's what Lobykin wants, anyway. Though he says he usually has an idea of what his art is meant to represent, he doesn't like to explain too much to his audience.
Lobykin is only one of many local artists showing work during the first weekend of SVOS. Video artist Nora Raggio will present video installations at the Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto.
Like Lobykin, Raggio has lived a globetrotting life, splitting her youth between the Bay Area and family in Argentina. In the past, Raggio has used her videos to examine the passing of time, change and human frailty.
"Film is all about change, whether it's slow or rapid," Raggio, who has worked as an artist in residence at the Cubberley center for nine years and has been showing at SVOS for seven. "There is this sense that it's made of light and then it disappears," she continues, explaining what has drawn her to video. "There is a fragility, it's more ethereal, and not material as, say, a sculpture or painting."
There is also a time element to video, which appeals to Raggio. Through videos, Raggio often works to show change over time. For example, her video "Trash Hourglass" is just 30 seconds long — a shot of trash accumulating at a waste facility. The film is edited, so that the trash is in the form of an hourglass. "We can measure time by the amount of trash we generate every half minute," she explains in the video's caption.
Another of her videos, "Trans," is "about migration," Raggio says. The video flips back and forth between people speaking English and others speaking Spanish, and is meant to explore "displacement in time and in space and in cultures."
In addition to Lobykin and Raggio, first-year Open Studios participant Pat Mayer will show her mixed media collage work at her Redwood City studio, during the event's first weekend.
Mayer has only been working as an artist for five years, but already shows a sharp eye for aesthetic. The artist says she seldom aims to convey a message with her collages — which most frequently comprise passages of text torn from books, solitary letters and other scraps of ephemera.
"I like the printed word," Mayer explains. "I like graphics and I like letters."
As an artist, Mayer says she is heavily influenced by the order of cubist works, and her work mirrors that inspiration. She uses pages of text to create repetitive lines; large block letters are tilted on their side or flipped upside down, divorced from any relationship they may have had to language, becoming pure forms; she arranges these materials into geometric shapes, working to create movement with lines, contrast and visual weight.
The results are abstractions and shapeless sentiment, rather than concrete messages, which is what Mayer seeks to create. "There's something about the shapes that I find beautiful," she says. "The pieces are just my feelings."

MIT Symphony Orchestra (1 Albums, 14 Tracks)
The origins of the MIT Symphony Orchestra (MITSO) date back as far as 1884 when the first MIT Tech Orchestra appeared on campus along with the Banjo and Glee Clubs. The orchestra disbanded and re-appeared several times over the years that followed until 1947, when Klaus Liepmann (1907-1990), MIT's first full-time professor of music and founder of the music program, became director of the MIT Glee Club, the Symphony and the Choral Society.
Nine years later John Corley (1919-2000) took over the direction of the Symphony until 1966, when David Epstein (1931-2002) became the Symphony Orchestra's music director. Under Prof. Epstein, the orchestra performed at Carnegie Hall and made several LP recordings. David Epstein's tenure ended in the spring of 1998 upon his retirement from the Institute. Dante Anzolini was Music Director of the Orchestra from 1998-2006. Anzolini was followed by interim director Paul Biss who led the orchestra during 2006-07. The orchestra is currently under the direction of Adam Boyles, former Music Director of the Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra.
The central mission of the MIT Symphony Orchestra is the cultural enhancement of education at MIT by promoting music performance at the highest level of artistic excellence among MIT students, by nurturing new works and young artists, by developing and sustaining the widest possible audience. The orchestra's repertoire centers around post-romantic masterpieces and twentieth-century classics as well as works by MIT composers.
The students in the MIT Symphony Orchestra come from a variety of fields including: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Biology, Mathematics, Brain & Cognitive Sciences, Civil Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Aeronautics and Astronautics, Management, Architecture, Materials Science & Engineering and Nuclear Science & Engineering. Very few students at MIT actually major in music. Some students pursue double majors in music and science or music and engineering, but most students pursue music as an extracurricular activity.

Happy New Year everyone!!!
First, I have to share recent pics of my Yorkie girls...
Second, I have to show you the Santa Chocolates and Gingerbread men that I made for my kids to bring to school for Xmas.
Thirdly, I'll fill you in on what's being going on with me medically. I went to my doctor and insisted that she send me to a gynecologist. I haven't been able to run or do any high intensity cardio for a year, and I'm sick of it. I feel like crap, and I've been anemic for a full year. Not to mention that the scale has crept up, and I am now at the very top of the healthy weight range for my height. I want to know why I'm losing so much blood and why iron supplements aren't helping. So, I had my appt with the specialist a couple of weeks ago, he did a hysteroscopy and found that everything looked normal, except for unexplained bleeding inside my uterus. He's come to the conclusion that he thinks it's due to hormones and he is going to do a procedure (day surgery) called "Endometrial Ablation". It is going to take awhile for me to get a date for when he will do the surgery. He said that he is so overbooked that I likely won't get in before Spring. Until then, I am fighting back again my body. I may not be able to do high intensity cardio, but I can sure as heck lift weights, do ab/core work, and walk my butt off. I've already started, and I had an AWESOME week. I was strict with my point counting and I earned a fair amount of AP's. I have no hopes of the scale budging (weigh in is tomorrow) BUT I feel a bazillion times better. For the last while, depression has been starting to kick in and I just can't sit back and let that happen. So it's back on the exercise train for me *toot* *toot* :O)

Those gingerbread people look yummy! And the puppies are adorable.
Good for you for insisting on a referral. Hope things go well and you get in for surgery sooner rather than later (did you put your name on the cancellation list so that they call you first if somebody else bails?).
You should post more--I miss your posts!

The U.S. is bidding farewell Wednesday to former President George H.W. Bush at a state funeral in Washington attended by top American political figures, along with current and former leaders from throughout the world.
Former U.S. presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama will join the current commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, for Bush's funeral services at the Washington National Cathedral, where they will hear a eulogy from George W. Bush, the late president's son and the 43rd president.
'Looking forward to being with the Bush family,' Trump said on Twitter. 'This is not a funeral, this is a day of celebration for a great man who has led a long and distinguished life. He will be missed!'
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Britain's Prince Charles, Jordan's King Abdullah and Polish President Andrzej Duda are among those expected to attend the funeral to honor the 41st U.S. president, who died at 94 last week a quarter century after leaving office.
Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson, and historian Jon Meacham, the elder Bush's biographer, are also set to eulogize Bush.
Since his death, Bush is being remembered for his heroism as a naval pilot in World War II, his leadership on the world stage as the Soviet Union collapsed and East and West Germany were reunited in the early 1990s and for his civility and kindness in his personal and public life.
A motorcade through Washington will deliver Bush's flag-draped casket to the cathedral from the U.S. Capitol, where Bush has lain in state since Monday night as thousands of mourners filed through the Rotunda to pay their final respects.
One emotional moment came Tuesday when 95-year-old former Senator Bob Dole, himself left with a disabled arm in World War II fighting, was helped from his wheelchair so he could salute his fellow Republican and war veteran.
Later, the younger President Bush and his wife, former first lady Laura Bush, walked to the casket to pay their respects and then thank mourners for coming to honor the late president.
After the funeral, former President Bush's casket will be taken to Andrews Air Force Base and flown back to Houston, Texas for a second and final service on Thursday.
He will be laid to rest at his presidential library and museum at Texas A&M University in College Station, next to his wife of 73 years, Barbara, who passed away in April, and their daughter Robin, who died of leukemia in 1953 when she was only three years old.
Trump has designated Wednesday as a national day of mourning in Bush's honor. The New York Stock Exchange is closed, as are most government offices.

Steven Seagal talks Obama impeachment
'I don't think that this man would make it through his term'
Published: 14 hours ago
Famed actor Steven Seagal, whose dozens of film projects feature action and violence but also have an underlying theme of seeking justice, says President Obama would be impeached if the truth about Benghazi was revealed.
His comments came during an appearance in Phoenix, where he told attendees at the Western Conservative Conference on Feb. 22 that the president's White House tenure could not withstand the release of the Benghazi truth.
There the ambassador and three other Americans were killed by radical Islamists who attacked U.S. interests in Libya in what was pinpointed as an organized terror attack. But the White House charged for weeks after that it was a mob that was irate over an obscure online video about Muhammad.
Seagal said, "Never in my life did I ever believe that our country would be taken over by people like the people who are running it this day."
He continued, "I think that when we have a leadership that thinks the Constitution of the United States of America is a joke, when we have a president who has almost 1,000 executive orders now, when we have a Department of Justices that thinks that any kind of a judicial system that they make up as they are going along can get by with whatever they decide that they want to do – like Ted Nugent said the Fast and the Furious, what's happening with the Fast and the Furious? What's happened with the truth about any of the greatest scandals of American history that have happened right before our eyes?
"If the truth about Benghazi were to come out now, I don't think that this man would make it through his term. I think he would be impeached," Seagal said.
He called America a "great country" because of its freedom of speech and called on both major political parties to work together the "take this country back."
"I think we're right now at that tipping point," he said.
Seagal's work over the years has included titles like, "Above the Law," "Hard to Kill," "Out for Justice," "On Deadly Ground," " Belly of the Beast,""Urban Warfare," "Street Wars," "Lethal Justice," and "Against the Dark."
The video of his comments were posted on the website of the Western Journalism Center.
Seagal's comments just add to the list of high-profile leaders who have discussed the idea of impeachment for Obama.
Sign the petition urging Congress to pursue impeachment right away!
One group, in fact, has had enough, and is calling on Americans to converge on Washington on May 16 to protest Obama's presence – and plan to stay until he and other Washington officials are gone.
The event is being organized by U.S. retired Col. Harry Riley and it is called Operation American Spring.
Riley said the goal is to remove "corrupt" leadership from the government, those who violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, House Speaker John Boehner, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Harry Reid and Attorney General Eric Holder.
"The out-of-control government leadership must be stopped," Riley wrote on his Patriots for America website, where he launched the campaign for the rally.
Riley spent more than 34 years in the U.S. military, with tours of duty around the globe. He received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal and other honors.
He's been active in several other efforts, such as the 2007 Gathering of Eagles, and has been effective enough so that leftists have come out to attack him.
He is calling for the restoration of constitutional government, rule of law and freedom from "despotic and tyrannical federal leadership."
Read the definitive case for removing Barack Obama from office in "Impeachable Offenses" by Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott.
Riley's plans seems to align mostly with what another retired military leader, Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, has advocated.
As WND reported, Vallely said it's time for millions of Americans to "stand up" to a federal government that is "conducting treason … violating the Constitution, violating our laws." He's calling for marches, a legislative vote of "no confidence" in President Obama and congressional leaders, even citizen arrests – drawing inspiration from the 33 million Egyptians who stood up to their government and removed Muslim Brotherhood officials from office.
Riley explains his inspiration comes at least partly from Georgetown professor Jonathan Turley's recent congressional testimony, too.
The liberal professor has represented members of Congress in a lawsuit over the Libyan war, represented workers at the secret Area 51 military base and served as counsel on national security cases. He now says Obama is a danger to the U.S. Constitution.
He was addressing a House Judiciary Committee hearing Dec. 4. Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., asked him: "Professor Turley, the Constitution, the system of separated powers is not simply about stopping one branch of government from usurping another. It's about protecting the liberty of Americans from the dangers of concentrated government power. How does the president's unilateral modification of act[s] of Congress affect both the balance of power between the political branches and the liberty interests of the American people?"
Turley replied: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He's becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid. That is the concentration of power."
Congress already is addressing charges that Obama is violating the Constitution.
WND reported when Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said Obama's actions have reached "an unprecedented level, and we've got to do something about it.
"Assume that a statute said you had to provide two forms of ID to vote. Can the president require three forms? Can the president require one form? Can you suspend all requirements? If not, why not?" he said. "If you can turn off certain categories of law, do you not also have the power to turn off all categories of law?"
Gowdy cited Obama's decisions to ignore certain immigration laws, even though Congress did not approve the changes. He also cited arbitrary changes to the Obamacare law and Obama's "recess appointments" of judges even though the U.S. Senate was not in recess.
His proposal is for Congress to take the White House to court over the president's actions, through a resolution proposed by Rep. Tom Rice, R-Ga., that would authorize the House to sue the Obama administration. It has 30 co-sponsors.
Rice said that because of "this disregard of our country's checks and balances, many of you have asked me to bring legal action against the president."
"After carefully researching the standing the House of Representatives has and what action we can take, I have introduced a resolution to stop the president's clear overreach," he said.
A Fox News interviewer asked Gowdy if Obama could refuse to enforce election laws.
"Why not?" asked Gowdy, "If you can turn off immigration laws, if you can turn off the mandatory minimum in our drug statutes, if you can turn off the so-called Affordable Care Act – why not election laws?"
WND reported that it was at the same hearing that Michael Cannon, director of Health Policy Studies for the Cato Institute, said there is "one last thing to which the people can resort if the government does not respect the restraints that the Constitution places of the government."
"Abraham Lincoln talked about our right to alter our government or our revolutionary right to overthrow it," he said.
"That is certainly something that no one wants to contemplate. If the people come to believe that the government is no longer constrained by the laws, then they will conclude that neither are they."
Cannon said it is "very dangerous" for the president to "wantonly ignore the laws, to try to impose obligations upon people that the legislature did not approve."
Several members of Congress also contributed their opinions in an interview with talk-show host Sean Hannity.
See the Hannity segment:
Talk-radio icon Rush Limbaugh says Obama isn't going to be – in fact, cannot be – impeached. But he also is making the case that the Constitution is in crisis right now, an emergency for which the founders probably created the impeachment process.
"You can't impeach the first black president," he said on his radio show recently. "No matter how corrupt or lawless."
But he said the danger is very high, citing House Speaker John Boehner's recent comments that the House wouldn't adopt amnesty legislature this year because the president probably wouldn't follow it.
"This is the president of the United States effectively nullifying the legislative branch of government," an outraged Limbaugh said. "He's basically saying … and he has in practically these words, said this, 'I got a pen and I got a phone and if they don't do what I want I'm going to it anyway.'
"That's not a ho-hummer to me. That is major. If the chartered body in our government that makes the law decides not to because they don't think it'll matter, because the executive branch will just ignore it, I mean that's a breach of serious proportion," he said.
"That is a constitutional challenge and crisis that is very real that nobody apparently has the courage to do anything about because of the president's race," he said.
Ambassador Alan Keyes, however, wrote in a WND column that Limbaugh isn't right about impeachment.
"When Rush Limbaugh says that 'efforts to try to have Obama impeached or held personally responsible for these scandals is a bunch of wasted effort,' he is saying that, on account of the politics of our times, this fundamental aspect of the U.S. Constitution no longer matters. With all due respect to Rush Limbaugh (and my respect for him is sizable and sincere), I beg to differ. The judgment about 'wasted effort' depends on what we're trying to achieve. If politics is just a partisan game, with no goal but to score points for one side or the other, it may be reasonable to conclude that impeachment is a wasted effort. After all, the Democrats who control the U.S. Senate will never allow Obama to be removed from office. Doesn't this make impeachment impossible? "
He continued, "Mr. Limbaugh is right to assume that impeachment is inherently political. In this respect his view accords with that of Alexander Hamilton, who wrote (in Federalist No. 65) that '… the subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed … from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.'"
But Keyes said, "The difference between Limbaugh and Hamilton, however, is that when Mr. Limbaugh speaks of politics he is referring to the competition of partisan factions. But for Hamilton politics means the business of citizens, i.e., individuals characterized by their concern for the common good of their society as a whole, not just their own personal, factional, partisan interests. From Hamilton's perspective, the way elected representatives handle such offenses is therefore a test of their concern for the common good. If they act, or refuse to act, based solely on whether by doing so they advance their personal or factional agenda, they show their contempt for the well-being of the nation as a whole. They thereby prove themselves unfit for the offices (duties) they hold, whether or not they are ever called to account for their dereliction."
Americans are speaking more and more strongly on the issue.
Last year, a poll showed those advocating impeachment nearly equal to those against it. For example, regarding Obama's campaign for amnesty to illegals, 44 percent say he should be impeached for that, while only 48 percent say he should not. And 46 percent say they think Obama should be impeached for launching the war to remove Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, while 49 percent say no.
"Taken by itself, any of these questions about President Obama could be ignored, but it becomes much more questionable when all of these … administration actions are taken as a whole," said Fritz Wenzel, whose public opinion and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies conducted the poll.
Get "Taking America Back," Joseph Farah's manifesto for sovereignty, self-reliance and moral renewal
Rock legend and gun-rights defender Ted Nugent said there's "no question" Obama should be impeached, and he's calling CNN anchor Piers Morgan an "effective idiot" in the battle over the Second Amendment.
Referring to Obama, Nugent says: "There's no question that this guy's violations qualify for impeachment. There's no question."
He blasted "the criminality of this government, the unprecedented abuse of power, corruption, fraud and deceit by the Chicago gangster-scammer-ACORN-in-chief."
"It's so diabolical," he said.
Nugent made his comments in a recent interview with radio host Alex Jones.
Even Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin called for the impeachment of Obama over his policy of permitting drone strikes on American citizens overseas who are members of terrorist organizations.
On WABC Radio's "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio," Benjamin affirmed she believes the drone warfare is an impeachable offense.
Among members of Congress, the idea has been getting more and more attention.
The latest to comment was Rep. Paul Broun, a Georgia Republican who is seeking to replace the retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
A video from a forum featuring candidates for Chambliss' seat shows Broun and two others, Derrick Grayson, an engineer, and Eugene Yu, a businessman, raising their hands when asked whether they would support impeachment.
A forum moderator asked the candidates: "Obama has perjured himself on multiple occasions. Would you support impeachment if presented for a vote?"
Broun, Grayson and Yu raised their hands.
Others who have commented on impeachment:
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa; Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas; Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas; Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas; Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, R-Mich.; Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah; Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.; Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas; Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla.; and Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla.
Several, including King and Farenthold, made comments in interviews with Sean Hannity.
King pointed to the president's actions on immigration, such as his orders for authorities not to enforce current immigration law, as grounds for impeachment.
He said there are multiple violations related to Obamacare and asserted the president's "recess" appointments of judges when the Senate was not actually in recess also is worthy.
The "uber-presidency," King said, has little or no respect for the Constitution.
Farenthold said Obama "is grabbing as much power as he can," but Congress also is doing little to draw in the reins.
The two said that politically, Obama is exercising great power and believes Congress cannot or will not stop him.
"The president knows it; he's exploiting it," King said.
Stockman even handed out in Congress copies of a book that has been described by its authors as the "articles of impeachment" for Barack Obama. Stockman suggested that special investigations and possibly prosecutions are needed in response to Fast and Furious, Benghazi and other Obama scandals.
Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, was speaking at a town hall meeting when he considered the idea. A video of his comments was posted at the Western Center for Journalism.
"I've looked at the president. I think he's violated the Constitution. I think he's violated the Bill of Rights," he said.
He said at some point a decision must be made.
"I think if the House had an impeachment vote, it would probably impeach the president."
But he noted there are only 46 members of the GOP in the U.S. Senate, where an impeached president would be put on trial.
To obtain a conviction, the prosecuting team must have 67 votes, and he wasn't sure even all of the GOP members would vote to convict.
"I think he's breaking the law if he strikes without congressional approval," Hunter told the Washington Times regarding Obama's plan to bomb Syria. "And if he proceeds without Congress providing that authority, it should be considered an impeachable offense."
WND previously reported Coburn's statement that Obama is "perilously close" to qualifying for impeachment.
Speaking at the Muskogee Civic Center in Oklahoma, the senator said, "What you have to do is you have to establish the criteria that would qualify for proceedings against the president, and that's called impeachment."
Coburn said it's "not something you take lightly, and you have to use a historical precedent of what that means."

Earlier, Bentivolio said it would be a "dream come true" to impeach Obama.
Bentivolio told the Birmingham Bloomfield Republican Club Meeting, "You know, if I could write that bill and submit it, it would be a dream come true."
He told constituents: "I feel your pain and I know. I stood 12 feet away from that guy and listened to him, and I couldn't stand being there. But because he is president I have to respect the office. That's my job as a congressman. I respect the office."
Bentivolio said his experience with the president caused him to consult with attorneys about what it would take to remove Obama from office.
Cruz responded to a question about impeachment after a speech.
"It's a good question," Cruz said. "And I'll tell you the simplest answer: To successfully impeach a president you need the votes in the U.S. Senate."
In May, Inhofe suggested Obama could be impeached over a White House cover-up after the attack in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012.
He told listeners of "The Rusty Humphries Show": "Of all the great cover-ups in history – the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of them – this … is going to go down as the most egregious cover-up in American history."
But even with that searing indictment, Inhofe, too, stopped short of calling for impeachment.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, has offered tentative support for impeachment.
"I'm not willing to take it off the table, but that's certainly not what we're striving for," he told CNN.
One Republican actually has come out and called for the impeachment of Obama, and he did it more than two years ago, before he became a congressman.
Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., posted on his website in June 2011 a list of reasons for impeachment.
Other figures who have discussed impeachment include Glenn Beck, Watergate investigative reporter Bob Woodward, WND columnist Nat Hentoff and a panel of top constitutional experts.
Stockman recently distributed copies of the book, "Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama From Office," to the other 434 members of the House of Representatives to bolster his case for a special investigation of the president.
The bestselling "Impeachable Offenses" presents an indictment that goes well beyond today's headlines.
The Daily Mail of London has called "Impeachable Offenses" "explosive," reporting that the book contains a "systematic connect-the-dots exercise that the president's defenders will find troublesome."
Constituents also are reaching some surprising conclusions.
Voters in Republican Rep. Jim Bridenstine's Oklahoma district may look meek and mild, maybe even sweet, but their opinions of President Obama reveal nothing but a battleground "take-no-prisoners" attitude.
One lady, for example, said there needs to be changes in the Senate so "we can impeach the S-O-B."
Said another: "He's not president as far as I'm concerned. … Should be executed. He's an enemy combatant."
She complained that Congress is doing nothing, and that "allows this moron to make decisions."
"He has no authority. None."
The video was uploaded just this week, but it's unclear when the meeting was held, and the congressman's office was unable to provide details immediately.
At one point the congressman references "back in April 2013," and it appears to be winter, so likely it was recorded in the past few months.
The congressman had been documenting Obama's "lawlessness."

The Bluffton Middle School Mustangs range in age from 11-13 years old. When they attended a special Veterans Day program, they were more than five decades younger than their guests.
Led by Sun City Veterans Association historian Arnold Rosen, the group of World War II, Korean and Vietnam veterans marched into the school's gymnasium behind a color guard to give a presentation and serve as representatives of those for whom Friday's holiday was named.
Rosen, who has interviewed and published two books containing the biographies of many Sun City veterans, presented brief career descriptions for the veterans in his group. Their military backgrounds varied, from George Scuffos who served during World War II as the pilot of a B-25 bomber to Alan Breininger who served in Vietnam in the U.S. Navy's Mobile Riverine Marine Force.
At the end of the first presentation, retired U.S. Marine Corps Col. Al Doublet said a few words about discipline and how it helped him become a success and how it would help them in the future to achieve whatever they dreamed.
At the conclusion of the second presentation, Breininger spoke of responsibility and how he was made responsible for people in dangerous situations. He said they all looked out for each other.
Both words were carried further by Rhoads who said discipline was important and that he sees how Mustangs carry out responsibility, taking care of each other.
Also in attendance in the guest seating were the parents of several students who had served in the military.
The color guard came from Boy Scout Troop 241 and was comprised of sixth-graders William Boggs and Matthew Zampino. and seventh-graders Bryan Beaz and Nicholas Rengier.
Seventh-grade students Enmeree Putich and Beth Gabbey alternated singing the Star Spangled Banner, providing beautiful renditions of the National Anthem.
This is the second year the school has invited the veterans to give a presentation before Veterans Day.

While once-dominant BlackBerry has been fighting to remain relevant in the government workplace, one area in which the company has always been in the back of the pack is in their app marketplace -- both in number of users and number of apps . Opening it up to the developer community would get them more ideas, but the reason Research In Motion has been dragging its feet in this area is a concern for quality.
With the release of Built for Blackberry this fall, developers will be able to submit apps for third-party review. Although this may seem like RIM is unleashing untested programs on its user base, which is contrary to BlackBerry's stated philosophy, RIM is hoping to attract the best developers with the $10K Developer Commitment.
Essentially, if you submit a BlackBerry 10 WebWorks or Native app before the launch of BlackBerry 10, and your app has sales of at least $1,000, you're guaranteed to make $10,000. That is, if the app earns more than $1,000 but less that $10,000, BlackBerry will pay the difference. This level of financial commitment should do what RIM is hoping it will – draw developers who will make quality apps and, possibly, help revive BlackBerry in government and other circles.
There is more detail about the $10K challenge on the company blog.

SEATTLE — Orioles top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy was asleep in his hotel room in Sarasota, Fla., at 3:45 a.m. Wednesday when his roommate told him that Brian Graham, the Orioles' minor league instruction coordinator, was on the phone.
"[Graham] told me I was on a plane at 7 a.m. and I was going to pitch here in Seattle," said the 19-year-old Bundy, the fourth overall pick in 2011. "So I said, 'Are you messing with me?' And he said, 'No, I'm not going to mess with you at 4 in the morning.' So next thing I know I'm at the airport and on my way to Seattle."
His plane landed at about 12:30 p.m., Seattle time. And when it touched down, the highly anticipated Dylan Bundy Orioles Era began.
"We needed a pitcher for tonight, he worked all his life to be a big leaguer, he is on our [40-man] roster," said Dan Duquette, the club's executive vice president. "So we thought this was a good opportunity."
The Orioles used seven relievers in Tuesday's 18-inning victory over the Mariners and badly needed pitching reinforcements. Bundy is the only non-injured pitcher on the club's 40-man roster who was not already with the big league team.
"He's a good fit for us," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "We didn't have a lot of options and we needed an arm here today, especially where we are with the roster.'
Bundy, who was 9-3 with a 2.08 ERA in 23 total starts with Single-A Delmarva and Frederick and Double-A Bowie, initially will pitch out of the bullpen. He was considered the best long relief option for Wednesday against the Mariners.
Duquette said he's not thinking about role Bundy will serve beyond this week, but he will stay with the team for the remainder of the season. He is eligible for the club's playoff roster, if the Orioles decide to place him on it — something that's not on the radar yet, Duquette said.
Rated by many as the best pitching prospect in baseball, Bundy hadn't appeared in a game since allowing just one run in six innings in the Eastern League playoffs Sept. 5. He had thrown three bullpen sessions at the Orioles' instructional league and was supposed to start in a game in Sarasota on Friday.
The Orioles said a few weeks ago that Bundy likely would not be called up this year because he needed to work on things in Sarasota.
"Them actually saying in the media that I'm not getting called up just made me want to work even harder to get there next year," Bundy said.
He said he tried to contact his parents several times Wednesday morning, but didn't reach them until about 5:30 a.m. Immediately, they made plans to join him in Seattle, where he had six family members and his agents on hand.
When Bundy makes his debut, he'll become the 51st Oriole this season — and the youngest since 19-year-old right-hander Mike Adamson debuted on July 1, 1967. Bundy, who turns 20 in November, will become the 16th youngest player in Orioles history, sliding in front of Dave McNally.
The organization's most successful pitcher, Hall of Famer Jim Palmer, thinks Bundy has what it takes to handle the pressure and scrutiny.
"He's going to get a lot of support from the guys in the bullpen, just like I did when I came up," said Palmer, who debuted at 19 and roomed with Hall of Famer Robin Roberts. "It's a veteran bullpen that's been down the road and will be able to help him for the next couple weeks. I'm sure he'll be a little bit nervous, but I've got to think he is pretty confident in his abilities [and that] as long as he continues to do what he does and stays within himself, he'll have success."
The leader of the Orioles' current bullpen, isn't concerned about Bundy's tender age.
"He's not a normal 19 year old. He is very mature," closer Jim Johnson said. "He's got a lot of intangibles that other 19 year olds don't have. So I don't think it is going to be as big of a deal as people think it is."
Bundy is the second high-profile youngster that the club has promoted in the past six weeks. Third baseman Manny Machado, 20, joined the Orioles on Aug. 9 and has been a mainstay in the lineup since.
"I told him, it's the same game. Don't try to do things you can't do. Don't try to pump up the [radar] gun now. Just go out there, have fun," said Machado, who thinks his brief success in the majors should relax Bundy. "He sees me being successful and doing all right, and it might give him a little less pressure to put on himself. Just be like, 'Hey, he is doing it. I can do it as well.' That's good."
Bundy, who was with the Orioles in spring training, said he is much more comfortable with the team now because he knows a lot of the guys.
"Yeah, definitely," he said. "I was a lot more nervous the first day of spring training than I was today coming into the locker room."
The question is, how nervous will he be on the mound in his first appearance?
Duquette, for one, isn't worried.
"All he has to do is his job, right? Come in and throw strikes," Duquette said. "He is joining a group of very talented players, so we are not asking him to do anything else other than his job, and it's a job he's wanted to do all his life, be a major league pitcher."

What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease of the body's cells. Our bodies are made up of millions of cells which normally grow and are renewed in a controlled way, and we remain healthy. However, sometimes this control is lost. This may be due to an abnormality in the cells, such as a genetic mutation or exposure to a carcinogen (cancer causing agent) and the cells start to multiply unchecked instead of just renewing themselves. A solid group of these cells is called a tumour or growth.
Tumours can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumour cells stay in one place in the body and are not usually dangerous.
Malignant tumour cells may travel through the lymphatic system (the body's drainage system) to lymph nodes or through blood to other parts of the body.
This spread of a cancer from one organ to another organ or part of the body not directly connected with it is called metastasis or metastatic cancer. Cancer actually refers to about 100 different diseases as cancerous cells can arise from almost any type of tissue cell.
Cancer is not contagious and cannot spread from person to person, however factors can lead to an increased risk of developing cancer such as smoking, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, alcohol consumption, some viruses and some environmental or genetic risk factors.
Cancer, unlike many other diseases, can develop at any stage in life and in any body organ. Each person's cancer has a different cause, diagnosis method, prognosis, treatment and care need.
New Zealand has an increasing number of people diagnosed with cancer mainly because of population growth and people living longer. Most cancers occur in older people, but because of screening programmes, improved detection and treatments fewer people now die of cancer in New Zealand.

My Good Deed for the Day
It was about a post office opening and dedication dated 1960 in a town named Williston, Florida. I asked what would happen to the folder and they said they would throw it away at the end of the day.
I asked if I could have it and get it to a historical society and they said yes. They told me they throw tons of stuff like that away and old photos too. Makes me so sad.
So I looked up the town and there is no historical society so I called their city hall and told them what I have. They were very excited and said they would love to have it.
So I am going to mail it to them. So happy to get it back to where it should be and not in a trash pile.
What about other stuff getting thrown away?
My husband and I were talking about how sad it is that so much historical stuff could be thrown away at estate sales. We wished we had talked to the person about going through any items after the sale to see if we could get it to the right place where it would be appreciated.
So next week my husband is going to go to some estate sales listed for next week and talk to them and I will be calling a friend who use to do estate sales to see if she can help us.
Would love to hear if this has happened to anyone else and what they did.

I find it horribly sad when I see family photos and family bibles in thrift or antique shops.ReplyDelete
They are someones heritage and yet they sometimes are lost in the clearing out of estates. You are doing good deeds indeed. :-)
Theresa (tangled trees)
I feel the same way. It makes me so sad to see old photos at thrift and antique shops. I always wonder if someone, somewhere is looking for that photo. I worry too about what will happen to all my stuff. I need to make a plan and get it more organized so other people know what everything is and where it came from.ReplyDelete
So much to do!

Ken Mack, Harvard Law School, who is writing a greatly anticipated history of civil rights lawyers, had this to say in the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday:
AS THE Supreme Court wrestled with race-conscious school assignments in Seattle and Louisville, Ky., last week, the justices drew historical figures into the debate. In the most heated bits from the various opinions, each side accused the other of contradicting the objectives of the individuals who laid the groundwork for Brown vs. Board of Education.Mack uses Justice John Marshall Harlan, author of the famous dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson, and Charles Hamilton Houston, the initial architect of the legal strategy leading to Brown as two examples. Then he continues:
In his opinion, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. quoted Robert L. Carter — the black plaintiffs' attorney in Brown — to support the proposition that the Constitution prohibits school districts from taking race into account in student assignment. Justices John Paul Stevens and Stephen G. Breyer, on the other hand, argued that the principles of racial integration expressed in Brown required the high court to uphold the school districts' use of race.
Roberts' argument carried the day. But the justices' disagreement illustrates a problem well known to generations of law school students: When trying to decide a hard case, you can find two valid, established legal principles that will lead to two diametrically opposing conclusions. This observation was first articulated by an early 20th century group of reformers called "legal realists." The hardest cases, they noted, are the products of long-standing, unresolved societal conflicts — so precedents often support both sides. As one phrased it, legal principles "are in the habit of hunting in pairs."
The same problem plagues historical interpretations. But that doesn't prevent supporters and opponents of race-consciousness from buttressing their stances with references to the principles held by famous civil rights figures. "History will be heard," asserted Roberts. But if history speaks on this subject, it does so in two voices....
Even Carter, invoked to great effect by Roberts, presents a similar historical problem. Carter, 90, is a federal judge in New York, and he recently published an autobiography. One cannot read it without concluding that he followed a set of lifelong moral principles that were utterly opposed to racial segregation. When Brown was wending its way through the courts, it was certainly possible to find him arguing that any use of race in school assignment is constitutionally suspect.For the full op-ed (recommended) click here.
Yet Carter later admitted that his efforts in Brown were focused on overturning Plessy's separate-but-equal doctrine, not at formulating a legal rule to guide future attempts to create racial equality. Indeed, within a decade of the Brown decision, he confessed to having mixed feelings about the use of race-conscious remedies to achieve integration, though he eventually firmly endorsed them....
History has a lot to tell us, but it rarely provides a clear signpost. In hard cases, historical precedents, just like legal ones, are in the habit of hunting in pairs.
The implications of the review seem to be that the question of whether Justice Roberts got the history of Brown right is so wide open, that it is not possible to answer the question. While Mack is right that questions of historical interpretation are not straightforward, and, by implication, the invocation of history by courts and lawyers is problematic, I disagree with Mack about whether the history of Brown was so muddled back in 1954.
Robert Carter himself was very clear about it when interviewed about Roberts' use of his Brown oral argument, after the opinion was released. As the New York Times reported, "All that race was used for at that point in time was to deny equal opportunity to black people," Judge Carter said of the 1950s. "It's to stand that argument on its head to use race the way they use is now."
The difference between Mack's take on the issue and Carter's may not be a failure of memory, although it is the case that historical figures remember the past differently as time continues to unfold. Perhaps it is in part a question of focus: on the right, or on the remedy. Judge Carter and his colleagues worked for an interpretation of the right -- 14th amendment equality -- that would invalidate laws that were a product of a history of racial subordination. They worked to overturn a system of discrimination informed by an ideology that one race (whites) was superior to others. As an initial remedy, they sought to have the bar to African American enrollment in white schools come down. Even this remedy was postponed, for most students -- even named plaintiffs -- for many years.
There was always a difference of opinion within communities and among leaders about what the world might look like when enforced segregation was a thing of the past. It was W.E.B. DuBois, for example, who angered his NAACP colleagues in the 1930s when he argued that what African American children needed was not integrated schools, but a good education. These questions legitimately arise in contemporary school cases once the barriers to entry are abolished, but the impact of unconstitutional racial subordination must be remedied.
But Roberts' opinion was not about how best to remedy racial subordination. His opinion was about the substance of the 14th amendment right. He used Carter's words to support an argument that Carter did not make in Brown: that when School Boards consider racial balance as part of their educational policies, having the goal of improving the education of everyone, they are engaging in the kind of behavior Carter sought to eradicate in Brown.
The equivocation that Mack finds in Carter's past words is equivocation about remedies. When it came to the meaning of the right itself, I'll take my cue from the chorus of Brown's surviving participants. "The plaintiffs in Brown were concerned with the marginalization and subjugation of black people," Jack Greenberg said. And from William T. Coleman: "to say that the people Brown was supposed to protect are the people it's now not going to protect....It's dirty pool."
Shavar Jeffries at BlackProf offers his take on the Brown opinion itself here.

There are steps you can take to lessen conflicts on avoiding conflicts with black bears emerging from hibernation.
The N.C. Wildlife Commission cautions not to feed bears that wander into camp sites, yards, parks, sidewalks or other residential areas. Feeding a bear rewards it for coming close to people and their homes, and makes it more likely to approach again.
While black bears are rarely aggressive toward people, they can become bold when they become accustomed to feeding on human-provided foods, such as garbage and bird seed. Often, they may lose their fear of people.
Contrary to popular belief, wildlife employees will not trap and relocate bears, because this would simply relocate the problem, rather than solve it. The solution is to modify habits, such as how you feed your pets or where you store your garbage, before a problem begins.
Residents can prevent problems by:
• Securing bags of trash inside cans stored in a garage, basement or other secure area, and placing the cans outside, as late as possible, on trash pick-up days — not the night before.
• Purchasing bear-proof garbage cans or bear proofing your existing garbage container with a secure latching system.
• Discontinuing the feeding of wild birds during spring and summer, especially in areas close to bear habitat or if residents are aware of bear activity in the vicinity. Even if bear feeders are removed at night, bears are still attracted to seed that spills on the ground.
• If you live in an area with bear activity, don't leave home with windows or doors open and nothing but a screen to prevent an animal from gaining access to the house.
• Avoiding "free feeding" pets outdoors. If you must feed pets outdoors, make sure all food is consumed and empty bowls are removed.
• Cleaning all food and grease from barbecue grills after each use. Bears are attracted to food odors and may investigate.

Motorists on Norwich Avenue near the town�s youth center may have noticed two new safety measures taken for children who cross the busy street to go to the town green.
One is an orange and white construction barrel, topped with a flashing light, in the middle of the crosswalk to the town green during open youth center hours on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.
The other measure is a police car parked near the youth center during the same times.
In May, the town�s youth center personnel and Youth First Coalition had asked for stronger measures to ensure that motorists drive carefully when passing the youth center.
The coalition is a group of youths, parents, school representatives, town officials and concerned residents who advise and make recommendations on overall policy and program direction for the local Youth Services Bureau.
�Kids cross to the town green for activity during the two hours of open youth center, twice a week,� Pam Scheibelein, a resident and member of the coalition, said. �In the past, there have been those drivers that either do not see, or ignored warnings of a pedestrian crossing. On several occasions, the crossing sign has been hit by a vehicle.�
The coalition reported recently that the new barrel has not been hit by vehicles.
Local highway department head John Jones and Selectman Stan Soby assisted the town in obtaining the new crosswalk barrel, which is large and has a flashing red light on its top.
The youth center supervisors will continue to walk children across Norwich Avenue, which has been standard practice.
�But now it will be obvious to drivers this is an area to slow down and use caution,� Scheibelein said.
State law requires drivers to grant the right-of-way and slow down and stop for pedestrians. Failure to comply with the law can result in a $90 fine.
