Italy is headed for serious instability at a time when the country is already on its knees. Unemployment is forecast to reach 12 percent next year, according to the European Commission. And the economy is expected to shrink by at least 1 percent in 2013. Political instability is never good for investors, and Italian voters have just ensured an uncertain future by failing to reach a decisive vote.
But things could have been different.
Bersani could have possibly led his party to a far stronger showing if he had allowed Matteo Renzi, the 38-year-old mayor of Florence and center-left darling to run in his place. Instead, the two dueled it out in an ill-advised primary race late last year in which Renzi - and the center-left -- ultimately lost after Bersani sold the party faithful on experience over optimism.
Berlusconi actually admitted he would have never put his name on the ballot if Renzi was running.
And Berlusconi, whose center-right party has strong support among the wealthy entrepreneurs of Italy's productive regions, also passed up an opportunity to make a better showing for the center-right.
By refusing to give up power and pass on his party reigns to Angelino Alfano, his sometimes protégé, he lost the opportunity to attract a younger, stronger center-right vote.
Instead, the duel between Berlusconi and Bersani ended up a somewhat embarrassing battle of silly promises and, ultimately, broken dreams for Italians who will find that however difficult they thought things were, they are bound to get worse.
Now Italy is in a limbo they haven't seen in decades. Having just endured 15 months of technocratic tough love with austerity measures, they have now seemingly squandered the chance for democracy. What comes next is anyone's guess, but it won't be pretty.
"This is a case of gridlock," James Walston of the American University of Rome told CNN. "Nothing could be worse for Europe."

What is with the colour red? It's always red that links to something sexy,naughty, and kinky too. But why?
I have never thought about this. It turns out that red is a sexy colour. According to a study, men perceives women who are wearing red as more attractive, sexy, and MORE INTERESTED IN SEX, comparing to those who isn't wearing red.
The study was performed at University of Rochester, researchers show men a photo of a single women, and inside the picture, the women would be wearing a red or white t-shirt. After the pictures are shown, they were asked to rate the women, in a scale of 1 to 9, if she was interested in sex.
The conclusion of the study: women wearing red have an average of 1.5points higher than those who weren't wearing red. Based on the study, researchers suggested the possibility of men, being evolutionarily conditioned-associating red with fertility.
I wonder how people perceive this interesting fact? When to wear red and when to not wear red?

September 13, 2011 2:43 pm | by Lee Stephens, Kollmorgen, www.kollmorgen.com | Articles | CommentsWhen building electronic equipment, it is imperative to understand the coupling mechanisms of electrical noise that creates Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). It is also much easier to preplan a method of abatement during the build of a machine rather than try to initiate a resolution once the equipment is built. However, in reality, it's common to have to improve or otherwise develop procedures to prevent the noise from disrupting intended signals of existing equipment or designs.

YESS!!! I love these movies, you get exactly what you came for, fast cars, cheesy dialouge, absurd action sequences, and gratuitous skin shown. It's gotten to the point where I think even the actors are in on the joke.
Check out this episode of the B.S. Report http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=6443190, it is THE definitive breakdown of the previous movie (and the whole franchise) by Bill Simmons and Adam Carolla. They will probably be coming out with another one shortly
real glee the show?
I felt the need to reply to the accusation that Tim Macaluso is somehow unfair or judgmental in his education reporting. I want to add that I have never defended anyone like this but I have been involved with Rochester education for many years and have read lots and lots of "stuff" over the years.
Rochester is a volatile place for public education and covering it has to be almost impossible to do professionally because so many people have their own interest. A writer is almost certainly going to piss someone off if they try to walk down the middle especially when extremes seem to be so popular.
Those who claim to be grassroots activists along with conservative, wealthy, business elites come out every few years but in the end they all get the same results-none. Along the way someone has to report this and they have to do it without taking sides. Given the twenty or more years of stagnation, writing about schools here has to become both frustrating and uneventful. It would be easy to raise alarm and take sides but I have not seen Tim do this.
He gives me what I want when read about schools-the facts. I am not concerned about the anger or hugs. I want to know where things stand and what steps are being done to improve things. It is unfortunate that so many people in Rochester throw stones at others thinking that this will help the kids and their families.
It is kind of like the guy who drives by kids waiting for a bus in the pouring rain. He curses the bus company for not having built a shelter but as he drives away he fails to give them the huge umbrella sitting in his front seat. He sees it but does not want to turn his car around. We gotta stop taking the easy way out.
John Bliss, 25 year city homeowner, RCSD parent, RCSD substitute teacher and former charter school founder.
Mary Anna Towler, in reference to Tim Macaluso being in your opinion "without question the most thoughtful, experienced, and knowledgeable writer covering education in the Greater Rochester area" is very disconcerting and in my opinion doesn't say much for the quality of reporters that the Rochester area has to offer. As Howard Eagle noted, "The guy is obviously having problems writing clear, objective reports about the campaign, and campaigners. His steep slant is undoubtedly tilted in the direction of school board incumbents, and the Vargas Administration." As a concerned parent and community member, we need unbiased information so we are able to formulate our own opinions and make the best decisions for our children based on what is actually being conveyed by the candidates themselves and not Tim Macaluso's interpretation or opinion of what transpired.
The BLIND continues to lead the BLIND............end of story!
We appreciate the comments by Mr. Eagle and others; the crisis of public education in Rochester is one of the most serious problems - and the unwillingness to deal with it properly is one of the region's most serious failures. That said, we have no intention taking Tim Macaluso off of the education beat. He is without question the most thoughtful, experienced, and knowledgeable writer covering education in the Greater Rochester area. And, in fact, he has written several times about the problems in Superintendent Vargas's extended-day plan.
With all due respect, some of us are beginning to hope that Ms. Mary Anna Towler, and the crew over at City Newspaper will seriously consider pulling Mr. Tim Macaluso off of the education beat, especially during the current, 2013 school board election campaign. The guy is obviously having problems writing clear, objective reports about the campaign, and campaigners. His steep slant is undoubtedly tilted in the direction of school board incumbents, and the Vargas Administration. This is evidenced by two recent reports, which he wrote following a May 28th school board candidates "forum to meet the non-incumbent candidates vying for a seat on the Rochester school board." The first report, in which Mr. Macaluso discussed candidates ignoring an imagined, so-called "iceberg," was written the day after the forum (see the link below --- after clicking on the link --- be sure to scroll to the bottom of the article and read comments from people who were present at the forum).
In his second article ("Questions linger about RCSD's plan for longer days"), which was written two days after the forum took place, again Mr. Macaluso imagined that "there was confusion about the concept at a recent public forum to meet the non-incumbent candidates vying for a seat on the Rochester school board." Other than his (Mr. Macaluso's), there was absolutely NO "confusion" regarding the issue. The majority of candidates who addressed it said very clearly that we are skeptical (to say the least) of Vargas's so-called "cornerstone [improvement] strategy [relative to] longer school days." Indeed, Ron Hall and I made it crystal clear that we are very, very skeptical, and we urged parents and community members to also be very skeptical. The reason being that simply extending the school day by an hour or two, will not automatically translate into improved academic achievement, especially when considering that many of the students who are in need of more "instructional time," are the very ones who are chronically absent under current schedules. Since district officials are not able to significantly improve attendance for thousands of students who are currently, chronically absent, what in the world would make them, or anyone believe that they will be able to successfully, automatically get the same students to come to school earlier, and/or stay later, unless of course there will be something fundamentally different about the so-called "extended day?" Therein lies the problem and issue: Vargas, nor anyone in his Administration, or the Board of Education have provided a clear, specific, comprehensive explanation as to how the so-called "extended day" will be any different than the current school day.
Thus, it is a gross understatement that Vargas "may want to devote more time to the what and how longer school days" will be any different than current arrangements. Many of us strongly suspect that he hasn't "devoted more time" to explaining specifics because he doesn't know. All he really seems to know for sure is that people are handing out money to implement the latest education fad (longer school days).
So again, we urge parents, and community members in general, to be very skeptical, and to insist upon specific details. Other wise, it is quite likely, and even probable that, in a year or two (when the longer-school-days-grant-money dries up (as it always does) --- we will be off and running (chasing the next education-improvement-fad) --- while the fundamental issues and conditions underlying the very old, pervasive, urban education crisis, never get addressed, and long-promised change and improvement never occurs. We refer to the latter phenomenon as bamboozling, posturing, and hoodwinking --- literally at the costs of young lives.
"The other absences were not due to playing hooky, as some have suggested, but the result of sickness, family emergencies, and scheduled personal days, according to Urbanski." Well guess what, the same could be said about students in the RCSD. So when does it go from being a plausible explanation to a lame excuse. I guess when it's a double standard that's practiced with the RCSD. If attendance is important in reference to education, let's not hold some accountable an not all. Urbanski, stop making excuses for "your" teachers and acknowledge, accept and then make changes!!!
I find the selection of the subject of Obama's speech on the US and terrorism as an amazing attempt to look at this past week through rose colored glasses ...... To ignore three separate scandals with this administration over its head in defending its actions for a speech which was clearly an attempt to deflect the attention from the scandals is just amazing even for a liberal leaning paper ..... But lets take the speech, "the destruction of Muslim Extremist terrorism" is anything but close to an end. Right now the US is working on a method to cover their gun running to Syria via Benghazi and Turkey by getting multiple countries to remove the international restriction on aiding any single side to overthrow a government. The US government violated international law by these actions. Gun running is exactly why the Ambassador was in Benghazi in the first place..... Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Palestine, Syria are all being controlled / disrupted by the Muslim Brotherhood and its associates. The Coptic Christians are fleeing Egypt by the 10s of thousands due to the attacks by members of the Muslim Brotherhood there...... but Mary Anna Towler chooses to do a critique of the President's speech and describes it as " eloquent, principled and rational one"..... She references the need for an "informed public" .... I must suggest that what we need is "a more informed media" at all levels ....... then maybe we would get those who have access to this administration to start the inquiries to expose the tyrannical actions of big government , and specifically this administration.
Dr William Carla, "on children and protest" suggested that the business community is behind the core curriculum drive in this nation. Now, yes Bill Gates, who once was a major business player, is involved with the core curriculum program, At the same time, few in the business community who understand the major goals of Core Curriculum would support such a program . This is all part of "the fundamental change" of President Obama. The Federal Education Department has its fingerprints all over this poorly designed program to create a national indoctrination and data gathering program. It is all about increasing federal government control of our lives and Dr. Carla either knows the true sources of this diabolical scheme or has not done his homework. The most important part of any protest is knowing who and what you are demonstrating against.......
BEE'S DEMISE: It seems there is another possible cause of colony collapse disorder. It is the substitute provided by the commercial bee keepers to feed the bees. They use high fructose corn syrup to feed the bees and although the other possible causes have not been ruled out, the substitute food may not be activating the detox/immune system of the bees. Here is a link to a good article on the subject: http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/05/fee…
"Trillions"? Hardly. But, hey, the poor have too much and the rich not enough. How about winding down the right-wing war on the middle class?
"It is time, though, to wind this war - whatever you want to call it - down. It's also time to wind down the war on drugs, now, after how many hundreds of billions of dollars? "
How about winding down the liberal "War on Poverty" that has been in place since the Johnson administration? TRILLIONS of dollars have been spent on that and guess what? We seem to have more poor people than ever.
So RCSD spends $600,000 to fund Hillside Work-Scholarship while they cut the RCSD staff that coordinate Student & Family Support Centers?? Someone's playing the politics game!
I attended the forum as well. Tim Louis Macaluso, maybe the reason why the "issue" of a "declining student population " appeared to have gone unaddressed may be due to the fact that "declining student population " is the focus of you and administration but not the immediate focus of parents; hence why the "issue" was not raised. Perhaps, unlike yourself and current administration, we parents are wise enough to understand that the issues that were raised and addressed are the reasons why parents/guardians are taking their children out of the RCSD and therefore leading up to a "declining student population". In actuality, the "issue" of "declining student population " WAS addressed by the candidates by them focusing on a plan to transform the current horrific condition of the RCSD, which will ultimately produce an environment conducive to learning, evidently make the RCSD a viable option for parents/guardians and students as a provider of a quality and competitive education, and will in turn improve the "issue" of "declining student population ".
One additional dilemma faced by RCSD is the fact that city residents do not vote on the school budget like residents of suburban districts. Many residents likely vote to increase property taxes if these increases supported additional funds for the schools. The system in place in Rochester and several large cities in the state uses the elected board of education members as the proxy for direct voting on the budget by the citizens. And we all know how effective the elected board members are.
Was an amazing show, my daughter kaitlyn played " Audrey" and I couldn't be more proud. The cast was amazing, and as with all of her productions, Judith once again brought magic to the stage! What an awesome group of talent! Thank you for sharing your God given talent with us!

What the hell does a declining student population have to do with the fact that the RCSD has proven to be incompetent when it comes to educating Rochester's children? The declining population is a symptom of the problem, not the cause.
I was at the forum, and I found it to be both a robust and entertaining discussion. It's time for a new approach to educating our children. what we're doing now isn't working.
With all due respect to City Newspaper reporter Tim Louis Macaluso, his news report only adds to confusion, surrounding specific types of things that must be done in order to produce widespread change and improvement within the Rochester City School District, and make the District a solidly viable and healthy institution. Rather than viewing, and describing issues raised by me and my colleagues during a recent candidates forum (such as "helping students with skills training to become firefighters, police officers, plumbers, and electricians," i.e., authentic alternative education programs; "better health services for students"; "stopping [the criminal practice of systematic] social promotion"; significantly reducing "high salaries for Superintendent Bolgen Vargas's growing cabinet"; ensuring that additional "support for students [is] being directed down to the classroom level"; making sure that "more resources [are] devoted to early childhood development"; and producing "more parent engagement and cultural awareness training") --- as representing the types of things that must be addressed in order to effectively halt "a declining student population," and the wild proliferation of (in some cases) semi-private-like charter schools, which he maintains will "fill their seats with city students" --- Mr. Macaluso made the critically important mistake of setting up a false dichotomy. That is, because none of us mentioned "declining student population," which he refers to as "the iceberg that's sending a chill through the administration," apparently he falsely assumed that we are so "perennial" that we are not aware of "the iceberg." He is even more off-base via his simplistic, and unrealistic declaration that "whomever voters put into office better have a plan to navigate around it." It's like the guy doesn't really get it. There is no magic. We did articulate the "plan" via the issues raised above, which must necessarily be effectively addressed in order for the Rochester City School District to compete with charter schools --- the latter of which (in many cases) will prove to be no more effective than traditional schools, particularly as it relates to serving our most challenging students (well), which is why most charter schools routinely engage in "creaming" --- while lying about so-called random lotteries. Charter schools do not represent a panacea for the very old, deep-seated, urban education crisis. In fact, in many cases the corporate and wealthy forces that are behind them, are nothing more or less than sophisticated poverty-pimps.
"Unjust laws exist; shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once? Men generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage its citizens to be on the alert to point out its faults, and do better than it would have them?"

Hermes wallets don't come cheap. Louis Vuitton wallets, for example, can set you back $200 to $500, depending on the design. Of course, there are other designer wallets you can choose from, all of them guaranteed to cost several hundred dollars. But what if there are cheaper alternatives? What if there are Hermes replica wallets that are just as good as their original counterparts? Would you like to own one original designer wallet or several high quality replica wallets? If the latter appeals more to you, then check out our selection of Hermes replica wallets.
Handbag essential
A wallet is your handbag's perfect partner. You don't want your money, credit cards, and IDs scattered somewhere in your tote or purse or satchel. Wallets come in different sizes, colors, and designs, and it's really fun collecting them, especially when they don't cost too much. Aside from enhancing your collection of leather goods, our Hermes replica wallets are easy on the pocket and always the right size for your different handbags.

Impeccable style, incredible price
We can't say enough about the quality and affordability of our replica wallets. Some of our customers even go so far as to say that our prices are ridiculous considering the level of craftsmanship that went into the production of our goods. Well, all we can say is that when it comes to pleasing our customers, we don't cut corners and we don't tolerate mediocrity. From handbags to wallets, to shoes and other accessories, our goods are simply one of the best in the replica industry.

Going out without a wallet is like preparing yourself to borrow money from your friends. It's not a good practice nor does it make sense.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest disclosed the meeting during his Friday press briefing, calling it a "a meeting with business and thought leaders from the clean energy sector" during which the president "reiterated his commitment to a cleaner and more secure energy future."
"The discussion covered a variety of topics, including the important role of natural gas in our domestic energy portfolio, new opportunities for renewables, like wind, solar and advanced biofuels, the importance of clean energy research and development, as well as the promise and potential of increased energy efficiency in our homes and businesses," Earnest said.
From the White House, the president was joined by Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Dr. John Holdren, Deputy Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change Heather Zichal and Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council Cecilia Munoz.

7-Inch iPad with Retina Display Coming in October Priced at $200-$250?
iMore reports that Apple is "currently targeting" an October launch for a smaller iPad, with the device carrying a display of roughly 7 inches and being priced in the $200-$250 range. Quote:
It remains unclear how Apple would be able to meet a $200-$250 price point for the smaller iPad given the apparent specs, although the device will reportedly come with only 8 GB of storage. Still Apple's current iPod touch starts at $199 and this smaller iPad will undoubtedly carry significantly higher component costs. Mockup of 7.85-inch "iPad mini" next to iPad 2 (courtesy of CiccareseDesign) Reports of a smaller iPad have been circulating ever since the launch of the original iPad, enhanced in recent months by perceived competition from Amazon's $199 Kindle Fire. The sheer number of rumors suggest that Apple has at least been working on such a device, and reports of a planned launch for later this year have been increasing. Most observers have, however, believed that the device would carry a non-Retina display in order to allow Apple to meet lower pricing targets.iMore has been rather accurate with its recent iOS device rumors, correctly pinpointing the third-generation iPad launch event date back in February and backing claims of LTE compatibility for the device ahead of its launch. The site has since offered claims of a smaller dock connector for the next-generation iPhone, an idea which has been gaining traction with other rumors. The site has also issued claims of a fall (likely October) launch of an LTE iPhone anticipated to carry the same 3.5-inch display size seen in all iPhone models to date.

I can't see Apple pricing at that point And while there may be a market, it doesn't really make sense to compete against itself |

A tablet with that kind of display for $200-250? Forgive me for being skeptical.

Interesting. Competition wouldn't know what to do if Apple came out with this. I guess everyone's goal would be second place.

No way. They would have to seriously drop the price of the iPod Touch.
My guess is that an updated iPod Touch is coming in October at this price point.

7.85 inch iPad? Maybe. 7.85 inch iPad with any resolution other than 1024x768? Not going to happen. Especially for 200-250 dollars. They'd really have to drop the price of the iPod Touch for anyone to keep buying it. I know its a different 'category', but who would pick up an iPod Touch for the same price as an iPad which is arguably more useful?

Apple has been known to pinpoint leaks by giving false information about projects to certain groups or individuals. Sounds like this is what is going on to me...
Smaller iPad so soon when the newest iPad is just coming out in many countries? At a smaller size with magically cheaper components? And WHAT space for competitors? I've never seen a Kindle Fire in the wild before.

That would be nice, I passed up on the current iPad line because after trying it I found (in my opinion) it's too large and heavy for me to comfortably use and hold for more than a few minutes. Too difficult to play games on as well. Tried Temple Run on my friend's and it was ridiculously awkward.

If they would come out with such an iPad at such a price, Apple will easily win the market. I don't see how anyone would be able to compete with that. However, it does kind of seem like an unApple move (the price). If they would bring a 7" iPad to the market, I expect more of a 350$ price point.

This wouldn't be the first time an industry leader takes on a low-end strategy to avoid low-cost disruption. It's why Intel released the celeron chip.
Makes perfect sense to me. |

High school volleyball: Kenston loses state semifinal to Massillon Jackson in four games
FAIRBORN — Kenston was in unfamiliar territory in its Division I state semifinal against Massillon Jackson Thursday night.
The Bombers, who were on a nine-match winning streak heading into state, lost their composure early and never recovered in a 25-9, 25-20, 31-33, 25-11 loss.
It was their first trip to state in Division I and second in school history (they advanced to a D-II state semifinal in 2003).
"We've never been beaten that bad this year," Kenston's four-year coach Danny Coughlin said. "I think that was taking a mental toll on us. Mentally, we were drained, not physically. These guys were prepared for five. They'll play five any day of the week.
"I think it was that mental part just drained us when we got to Game 4."
Coughlin preaches starting strong and finishing strong, but his players were unable to do either.
The Bombers (20-8) got behind in the opening two games and spent a great deal of energy coming back in Game 3. By the time they battled back, the Polar Bears (28-1) were already thinking ahead to Game 4.
They opened with an 8-2 run on their way to a victory in their first trip to state in school history.
"I was in shock when we went down in the beginning of the game," junior Jaime Kosiorek said. "What did we do? We went back to our old ways and started panicking. We started playing as individuals instead of as a team. It was like, "Oh my God, what do we do?" Continued...
The score was tied nine times at the end of Game 3 before the Bombers sealed the win on back-to-back kills by Kosiorek, an Ohio University recruit. Despite their efforts, the Bombers could not carry the momentum over to Game 4.
"It's kind of like what they say in boxing, you expend more energy missing than you do hitting," Coughlin said. "Playing from behind, it just took so much energy to win Game 3.
"There's a very good possibility that when Game 4 came around, no matter how much we wanted it or no matter what we did, we were just running out of gas mentally, not physically."
Miami University (Ohio) recruit Paige Hill led the Polar Bears' charge with 19 kills on 38 attempts. Stephanie Spencer and Brooke Bailey contributed 15 and 11 kills, respectively.
Kosiorek led the Bombers with 14 kills and 12 digs. Emily Newell contributed 12 kills. Stephanie Bindernagel had 11 digs and Lori Zagar had 36 assists.
The Bombers graduate two seniors including starting defensive specialist Melissa Landsman. The core of their players will return next year.
"This year totally exceeded my expectations," Kosiorek said. "I hoped and dreamed we would do this. Just to be here is amazing. I think going into next year, we'll be like, we were here last year, we can do it.
"We'll have the right mentality from the beginning of the summer to the postseason. It will be good next year."

The current contract expires in 2020, but as part of the agreement on the proposed airport site, the city, county and water authority agreed to discuss renegotiating the water sales agreement. City Manager Kenny Smith said he invited County Manager William Wilson and Water Authority Chairman Dave Lamb to lunch to begin discussions.
Smith said "the main contention is water system depreciation and a return on assets. Obviously the county is looking for a rate reduction."

"Speaking about the Unspeakable: U.S.-Israeli Dialogue on Iran's Nuclear Program"
Policy Brief 77, Washington Institute for Near East Policy
December 2007
Author: Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
Despite the longstanding and ever-evolving "special relationship" between the United States and Israel, the two allies do not appear to have engaged in substantive discussions on key facets of their most pressing mutual concern, the Iranian nuclear threat. Specifically, there has been little if any dialogue on the possibility of military action if the diplomatic route comes to a dead end, nor on the possible means of living with a nuclear Iran should both countries decide to refrain from military action.
In this Policy Focus — the second entry in The Washington Institute's series "Agenda: Iran" — former Israeli deputy national security advisor Chuck Freilich explains the significant obstacles to such dialogue and proposes means of surmounting them. Most of these obstacles center on each country's concerns about how the other would interpret such discussions, and how these interpretations would in turn affect their ability and willingness to conduct diplomatic and military action, either independently or in tandem. Overcoming these concerns sooner rather than later is crucial if the United States and Israel are to effectively address the most important issue they have ever faced together.

A lot's happening today. This afternoon, we'll know whether President Obama wants to set up a Constitutional showdown with Congress by attempting to unilaterally enact gun control through executive order, or whether he'll simply suggest more anti-gun legislation that will likely face stiff opposition in Congress. This is of the utmost importance, but I also want to let you know about a vote that took place last night.
Last night I offered an amendment that cut a modest $1 million out of a $51 billion bill for Hurricane Sandy Relief. My amendment targeted what was essentially an earmark that was added by the Senate, that authorized $1 million to a program that pays lawyers to sue people, and often times sue our own government.
Throughout the day, I voted time and time again to save the taxpayers BILLIONS of dollars, but I offered this particular amendment because 1) the program is wasteful 2) it has nothing to do with disaster relief 3) it was a modest step in the right direction.
My amendment failed by a vote of 202-217. If we can't get a majority of Congress to agree to cut $1 MILLION, from a $51 BILLION bill, when we're already $16 TRILLION in debt, how do we ever expect to balance our budget?
As I said during the debate last night, "What part of $16 trillion in debt don't ya'll (Congress) understand?"
I'm going to continue to fight, and I need your help to make sure the rest of Washington finally begins to wake up to recognizing the need to solve our debt and deficit.
Blessings and Liberty,
Jeff Duncan

Pod X3 Live won't boot and makes horrible noise.
Like (0)
Hey guys,
I'm probably going to get the "send your pod to a line 6 dealer to get it serviced" reply, but i don't have anything to lose by asking.
So, when i go to turn my X3 Live on, the screen lights up, but it doesn't go to the line 6 logo, the screen stays orange and it makes a horrible, constant "bwaaaap" noise through my amp (best way to describe it). This happens even after the Pod is turned on and working, it just shuts down to the blank orange screen and makes the noise again. The Pod decides when it does this, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. It will generally happen every third time i boot it up.
Oh, the volume pedal decides to work only when it feels like it too, not that this is a major problem, seeing as the Pod decides if it wants to boot or not.
I am interested in hearing if anyone had this problem with any of their X3 units, and possible fixes.
Oh, the lights underneath the gain, bass, mid, treb, pres, tone volume and master volume knobs pulse as well. they don't completely go out, but they are definitly pulsing about once a second.
Dude your problem is that the voltage regulator of your X3 is burned, I had the same prob and is a cheap repair any technician can do this, on second hand you have to change your ac adapter too cause is already screwd up in fact the ac adapter is the one that burned the unit.
I got my multi-meter and the power pack is emiting a constant 9v AC. I do get dirty power occasionally though (when someone turns on a fluro light i can hear it crackle through my amp). I orgot to mention that the pod will boot after about 10 seconds (time amount will vary greatly) of the blank screen and sound, but after 10 minutes (this time will vary greatly as well) of playing, it will shut down then try to reboot itself, starting the whole process all over again. Sometimes it won't even turn the screen on when booting, it will stay blank, but will turn all the other nessecary lights on (they are pulsing btw) and then go to the normal screen you see when playing. Very confusing.......
Yes, as I said the problem are your voltage regulators and your ac adapter that for sure, mine did the same with the multimeter you´ll have to change them as soon as posible, I send mine to a guitar tech who did an excelent work he even construct me a new aca adapter and it works cool again, try a guitar tech of your trust.
Sorry to see this happen with your X3L. It is going to have to go to the service depot. If you are in Australia, it's likely that you'll be dealing with MusicLink.
Hello Vix01, My X3 live died with the same symptom of complete Orange screen and all lights lit.
Can you share some tips on where to measure voltages on the motherboard and their target values, to ascertain that it is a voltage regulator problem ?
Thanks !!
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Setting up a home office that fuels productivity
One of the biggest mistakes businesspeople make is assuming that working from home will automatically result in a higher level of productivity. Unless you carefully construct your home office environment, you may find that working from home is less productive than you anticipated.
Staples, the world's largest office products company and a trusted source for office solutions, offers the following tips for setting up your home office to help maximize your productivity.
The ideal working environment
Home office setup is an exercise in knowing yourself. Before you make any decisions, make a list of the things you need to spur productivity. Some people can work at a desk in a common area of the house with the television running in the background. Others want a closed-door environment where distractions are minimized. For some people, a home office is a place to finish up work from a regular day job. For others, a home office is a primary workspace where they spend eight or more hours of the day. Before you start rearranging the furniture, decide what you need as an absolute minimum to encourage you to use the space as intended.
The right office furniture, equipment and supplies
Once you have decided whether you're going to segregate an area of the living room, convert a spare bedroom or set yourself up in the basement or garage, you should start thinking about-home office furniture.-The type of office furniture you pick and the way you organize your space will significantly impact your productivity.
Whatever your preferences are, investing money up front in the style of office furniture that makes you comfortable will naturally lead to greater productivity. At the very least, this ensures that you won't be tempted to relocate to the bedroom instead of working at your desk. Likewise, an upfront investment in office supplies and equipment will help you get your work done faster and avoid distractions.
The cost of outfitting a home office
A basic home office setup can cost you under $500 if you already have a computer that you can relocate to your new space. There are a number functional-office furniture options-that look expensive but are actually quite affordable, especially if you are willing to put the furniture together yourself. A printer and a phone with voicemail can round out a basic home office setup.
A more advanced home office setup would include a fax machine and a photocopier. Fortunately, there are 3-in-1 office machines that combine a-printer, fax and copier all in one-piece of equipment for under $300, saving you money and space. Keep in mind, however, that a machine that does many things often offers fewer features for each specific function. For example, if your work at home requires more than the occasional photocopy, it can be more efficient to buy a dedicated copy machine that has special functionality to handle a heavier workload.
Don't forget to set aside money in your home office budget for office supplies. From paper to paper clips, you will have to buy all of the little things that you took for granted when you worked for an employer.-A home office is sometimes considered the holy grail for people who work. Who wouldn't want a comfortable home oasis where commuting is a foreign concept and the work just gets done? To achieve home office nirvana, make a plan that is specifically designed to meet your individual needs and choose the right home office furniture, equipment and supplies to make your plan a reality.

When the Civil War began, Union officials viewed the numerous lighthouses along Florida's Atlantic and Gulf coasts as particularly vulnerable to Confederate attack. They reported that the loss of the lights "for a single night would be disastrous." These fears proved justified when in August 1861 a small group of southern sympathizers from Indian River rendered inoperable the lighthouses at Jupiter Inlet and Cape Florida. They removed the lenses from the Jupiter light and destroyed those of the latter lighthouse. Federal officials branded the men "a gang of pirates" and recommended "that early measures be adopted for the security of the lights on the reef."
Reproduced here is a report from the Confederate sympathizers who dismantled the lights to Florida Governor Madison Starke Perry. The governor or a member of his staff endorsed the document with the statement: "a Report of an Interesting personal service."
Report on the Dismantling of Florida Lighthouses Upon the Outbreak of the Civil War, 1861.
His Excellency M.S.
Perry Governor of Florida
We the undersigned residents of Indian River, believing it a Solmen duty of every Citizen, to try and serve his State and Country in whatever capacity he may be most able, would in accordance to such feelings, report to your Excellency, that we have taken the responsibility of putting out the Lights at both Jupiter Inlet and Cape Florida, believing them to be of no use or benefit to our Government, but on the contrary of great importance to our enemies.
We had felt the importance of such a measure for some time, thinking some authorized Agent of our Government would be sent to perform it, but finding no effort was made by either the Government of the Keeper of the Light, we resolved to assume the responsibility ourselves, and report the result to your Excellency, hoping that it may meet your approval-- At Jupiter we destroyed no property whatever, the Light being a revolving one and of very costly make, we took away only enough of the machinery to make it unserviceable-- There is a quantity of property belonging to the Light consisting of Tools, machinery, Paints, oil &c which we have secured under lock and key-

Members Discussion Forum: AHA Constitution Changes
In the September issue of Perspectives we introduced a number of proposed changes in the constitution that Council approved at its June, 2007, meeting. An identical version of the proposed changes appeared here from October 1 through 15, with an invitation for comments from members.
The comments received from members pointed out a few editing and formatting errors, and others reflected a need for further information about the changes. Perhaps most significantly, a number of members expressed concerns about the petition required to place items before the business meeting. We should have noted that this requirement currently appears in the Association's by-laws, so this was not a new requirement. This was intended to enshrine the opportunity for petition in the constitution, while raising the threshold for petitions. Given the ease with which petitions can be circulated on the Internet, we initially thought it made sense to raise the bar a bit, from 25 members to one percent of the membership. In light of the concerns expressed about this provision and with Council's approval, the 1 percent requirement has now been deleted. So the requirement reverts back to 25 members described in the bylaws.
Article III Membership
Existing Text With Mark UpMembership in the Association shall be open to any person interested in history on the payment of one year's dues. Any member whose dues are in arrears shall be dropped from the roll. Members who have been so dropped may be reinstated at any time by the payment in advance of one year's dues. Only members in good standing shall have the right to vote or hold office in the Association. |
Proposed Revised TextMembership in the Association shall be open to any person interested in history on the payment of one year's dues. Any member whose dues are in arrears shall be dropped from the roll. Members who have been so dropped may be reinstated at any time by the payment in advance of one year's dues. Only members in good standing shall have the right to vote or hold office in the Association. The Council may elect honorary members of the Association, and such honorary members shall be exempt from payment of dues. |
Explanatory Notes |
AHA Member's Comments on Article III Membership |
12 members have commented |
Response to Ms. Keener & Dr. Wachendorfer
I agree with Ms. Keener that the membership of undergraduates should be recognized more. I am an undergraduate and have recently renewed my membership for a second year. I did so because like Ms. Keener, I am serious about history and I am eyeing graduate school. I was disappointed in the fact that student membership dues went up from last year. Most students have a hard time making ends meet.
On another note, I agree with Dr. Wachendorfer. I can endorse honorary members being exempt from dues.
—Mr. James Risk , Posted: November 02, 2007 2:59 PM
long-time members
Just as with the Medieval Academy, there should be the possibility for retired members who have belonged for at least 30 years to pay greatly reduced fees or no fees at all.
—Dr. Anne K.R. Gilmour-Bryson , Posted: November 02, 2007 12:22 PM
i think the dues are reasonable, compared to other organizations that exist. and i like knowing how it's simple to find people if need be when looking for experts on certain subjects. really, a true member should be interested in more than just the annual meeting, as the membership is good for the entire year.
—Mr. L.e. Larue , Posted: October 15, 2007 9:18 PM
As I am post Ph.D., but still seeking employment, the non-student dues are high and wish they were lower; even if it meant relinquishing a publication or two, I'd rather pay a lower amount.
—Dr. Arthur Alan Torpy , Posted: October 15, 2007 2:13 PM
Perhaps a multi-year discount?
Other professional history organizations such as the NCSS offer multi-year membership renewals at a discount (10% for two years, 15% for three, etc.). I would think the membership paperwork processing savings alone would make this an attractive option...
—Mr. Joseph J. Ferreira Jr., Posted: October 15, 2007 7:43 AM
Response to Ms. Keener and Mr. Samuelson
I do aggree with you both. I am an high school educator who is starting my Masters program and wish to continue my education and recieve a PhD. The dues should be tiered better and economically affordable for those who are serious in the field of historical research and education.
—Mr. Adrian K. Winham , Posted: October 14, 2007 12:29 PM
I would recommend a reasonable reduction in the membership dues.
—Mr. Narasingha Prosad Sil , Posted: October 13, 2007 6:04 PM
Conference only member
I agree with Keith Roland Dawson, below, under Article X, Amendments. "I cannot agree with the member about being a member just for the conferences. It sounds as if he should join something else."
—Prof. Raymond J. Jirran , Posted: October 13, 2007 3:36 AM
I don't know how many undergrads belong to AHA but I do. And it cost a lot of money. I do try to keep up with the publications, but I think that students should have a discount, or there should be tiered dues. Students who join AHA are really serious - and they probably are eyeing graduate school. AHA should recognize this. People like me are trying to learn through AHA publications so that we can contribute to acadamia in the near future.
—Ms. Joy Ann Ruscha Keener , Posted: October 13, 2007 12:49 AM
Response to Mr. Samuelson
I agree with you. There could be a level of membership with a nominal fee, but with limited access to the web site and publications.
—Mr. Michael Patrick Procter Sr., Posted: October 12, 2007 9:52 PM
How about changing the dues structure. Many of my fellow historians think that the dues are excesssive, seldom read AHA publications, and only enroll so that they may interview or give papers at the annual convention. Many of us feel that we are being asked to pay a great deal of money to fund aspects of the organizations operations that history has passed by.
—Mr. Richard A. Samuelson , Posted: October 12, 2007 2:23 PM
honorary members
I really can endorse that.
—Dr. Dieter H.H. Wachendorfer Jr., Posted: October 12, 2007 2:13 PM
The period for discussion is now past. However, additional revisions are being prepared, and will be posted for further commentary on or about October 19th.

Skin care
6 Ways to Brighten Your Skin
Skin-brightening products are selling like crazy all across the country. Find out why they're so popular -- and determine which one is right for you
Try enzymes for dark spots If you're looking to lighten some serious dark spots, your dermatologist might suggest a product that contains hydroquinone. However, there's been a lot of controversy surrounding this ingredient, which has been banned in several countries because of nasty side effects, such as excessive redness, dryness, and burning sensation when applied. Fusco recommends Elure Advanced Skin Lightening Lotion, $150, as an alternative that works just as well. The key ingredient is a mushroom-derived enzyme called Melanozyme, which breaks down melanin (dark pigment) in your skin. Clinical data shows a change in just seven days. "I tell my patients that they'll probably need to go through two bottles before they see dramatic results," says Fusco. But the lack of side effects makes it worth the wait.
