Because the Supreme Court doesn't allow reporters to use video cameras, or even cell phones or laptops, inside the courtroom, the race to get the news for big decisions out first often literally becomes a footrace.
Reporters -- or more often, lowly interns -- grab the paper copies of the rulings and sprint across the plaza in front of the Supreme Court building to deliver the news to the on-air talent.
The interns deserve kudos for their valiant efforts, but let's be honest, the videos are pretty funny:
One intern, captured at a perfect moment, spawned a "ridiculously photogenic intern" meme and even a Tumblr:

There are no casinos in the "other" Atlantic City, the one in Wyoming.
It ain't no city, with a population of "about 57" people plus one adorable puppy named Gypsy. And it's nowhere near the Atlantic Ocean, rising 7,675 feet above sea level.
I discovered Atlantic City while planning my vacation to Wyoming. It immediately became a must on the lists of stops, along with the Tetons and Yellowstone. The dusty and quirky town is one of Wyoming's oldest cities. It was a mining town and then a milling town before falling on hard times. One tourist website labeled it now a ghost town.
I met some friendly folks in the mercantile store that doubles as a bar and restaurant. I told them I was from New Jersey. They assumed I lived near the eastern Atlantic City, but I explained that I lived "far away" in the northern part of the state. One man scoffed at that, saying all of New Jersey could fit in one of Wyoming's county. He had a point, but he's never seen Jersey traffic or speed traps on highways (in Wyoming, the speed limit seems to be just a suggestion and I've driven 600 or so miles already and not seen one cop).
Of course I had just one question for the citizens of Atlantic City, Wyoming: what the heck? However, I phrased it more politely as: why is your town called Atlantic City? They told me there are a few theories, including that one night some guy got really drunk and thought he was in New Jersey. The most plausible theory though is that the town got its name because it sits just east of the Continental Divide, where everything flows to the Atlantic Ocean. There are things on the western side with Pacific in their name, like a creek, etc.
Atlantic City was a detour definitely worth taking: no traffic, no tolls, no parking problems, friendly folks. If you are ever in Wyoming, make sure you "Do AC."

People who do real work deserve recognition, appreciation, and a livable wage.
Labor Day Thoughts
Labor Day is a day to recognize and honor the contributions of the men, women, and children, who work.
The "working class" built America---literally. They are the folks, of all colors and nationalities, who laid the bricks, and pounded the nails. They navigated the rivers, exploring and mapping the new land and hauling the products all over the new America. Now they load and ship the products made or grown by other Americans all over the world.
The laborers plowed and harvested the fields and they tended the livestock. They cut lumber. They rode the roiling waves of the sea to harvest the creatures we enjoy as seafood. They dug pits and spent much of their lives in darkness to mine coal, minerals, gems, out of Mother Earth for the comfort and enjoyment of humanity. They drilled wells from which came oil, natural gas, precious water. They built and continue to construct and maintain railroads, highways, and bridges.
They worked in factories under unsafe conditions. Their intelligence and creativity make life convenient and pleasant. They tend our sick, our elderly, our children, our yards and homes. They repair our cars and machines. These were our ancestors building a nation. Today they are neighbors, friends, family members. Most of us are those working class people—and proud of it.
Their work to improve the lives of everyone also included striving for safer conditions through Labor Laws. They worked to prevent the exploitation of children in factories and mines. They worked for laws to establish fair wages that will support a family. On this Labor Day, they continue to work for safe conditions and fair wages.
Today the minimum wage, nationally, is $7.25 per hour. That is $290 for a 40 hour week, just $15,080 per year. In many cases, they get no paid vacations, no health insurance, no retirement benefits, except Social Security which they and the employer both pay into.
The three Walmart heirs, together, collect more money each year than the bottom 30% of wage earners. They are not alone in wallowing in riches. Many CEO's collect multiple millions in salary, benefits, and bonuses; plus when they leave the company, they are paid millions in "Golden Parachutes."
What if they took less and paid the workers a little more? What if they paid their fair share of taxes? What if they did not hide their wealth off shore as Mitt Romney and many others did?
There are many good books on the subject of fair wages for people who do real work. Barbara Ehrenriech's Nickle and Dimed Is an easy read and informative. She relates her experiences at several minimum wage jobs. I recommend this book.
"Where justice is denied, where porverty is enforced, where iganoce provails and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and egrade them, neigher person nor porgery will be safe." ___Frederick Douglas
Today, honor the people who work. And leave a tip for the waitress.

Updated: Berkeley City Clerk Dies Over Weekend in Unexplained Circumstances
Berkeley City Clerk Deanna Despain died over the weekend, city spokeswoman Mary Kay Clunies-Ross confirmed today.
Despain was reportedly found dead at her home in Oakland on Saturday night after falling downstairs.
According to City Hall sources who asked not to be quoted, the fall is believed to have been accidental.
Clunies-Ross said Despain's death was "very unexpected" but she didn't immediately have more details.
Despain, 37, became Berkeley's acting city clerk in June 2008, succeeding Pamyla Means, and was officially appointed as city clerk on May 17, 2009.
Before becoming acting city clerk, Despain had served the city starting in September 2004 as the records manager, assistant city clerk and deputy city clerk.
Despain attended the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College, according to the City Council's resolution that was passed when she was appointed.
The Alameda County Coroner's Office said that there was a press hold on information at this time, and the Oakland police spokesperson did not return calls.

Arctic Monkeys Debut New Songs at Australian Music Festival
One of Britain's biggest bands, the Arctic Monkeys, have unveiled a crop of new songs at the Big Day Out music festival in Australia, this month. The band could also be seen playing some cool new gear...
The Arctic Monkeys previewed new songs at the Australian Big Day Out festival…and could be seen with new gear, too! The band started the set with a new song, "Pretty Visitors". In it, Alex Turner doesn't play guitar, but plays an old Vox Continental organ. Those old organs are excellent, and bands such as The Beatles used them. The modern equivalent is the Nord C1 Organ, which was directly inspired by the Vox Continental.
Watch: Arctic Monkeys, "Pretty Visitors"
On the latest issue of NME, there's a live review of the Arctic Monkeys gig, and a photograph of Alex and his pedalboard…in the dim-lit stage. But we can see the Vox Continental and his pedals - which seemed to have changed slightly from the last time 'round.
In order, here's the pedals Alex Turner used at Big Day Out:
Boss LS-2 Line Selector > Boss TU-2 Tuner > Dunlop Uni-Vibe (not 100% sure about this one, but looks like it) > Ibanez TS-808 Tubescreamer > Boss DM-1 Analogue Delay
Note: the Uni-Vibe Alex used is the Chorus/ Vibrato model (two footswitches) and not the current Stereo Chorus Uni-Vibe.
He also had a Morley ABY footswitch.
His guitar, as the photograph above shows, was a Fender Jazzmaster sunburst.

We are the 1st hotel in Gargnano
the 2nd hotel in the province of Brescia and the 10th at Lake Garda
Situated on the top of a splendid hill, and surrounded by a forest of 40 acres, only a few minutes from Gargnano (7,5 Km) and from the Gardesana State Road, Villa Sostaga dominates Lake Garda and its mountains, in a favourable position to be able to reach Brescia, Verona, Mantova and Trento.
The building goes back to the end of the 1800's, when Count Giuseppe Feltrinelli decided to plan and build a residence for hunting. It was then renovated by Alberico Belgioioso, who transformed it into a summer residence, accommodating the noble family and illustrious guests, during the hottest months.
"Recently renovated, by the Seresina family, enhancing, in particular, the vintage atmosphere which characterizes it, the mansion has eleven finely furnished double rooms which offer a calm and comfortable environment, with a lake or a park view, and services such as telephone, satellite TV, internet connection, mini fridge, and a safe.
The common spaces are organised to guarantee the tranquillity and relaxation typical of a private villa, but with the well-cared service of a Hotel and restaurant of the finest quality: management and staff, in fact, welcome guests in a climate of kindness and great familiarity, to give a truly unforgettable stay. "

When it's cold or windy outside, what do you do? You throw a blanket over the car seat handle, but it never works. The blanket keeps falling off, cold air blows through, you don't have a firm grip on the handle, and you can't see what the baby is doing. No more fumbling with blankets or bulky seat liners to keep your baby warm, dry, and protected. Create a nap time environment while eating out or taking a walk. Continue living your on-the-go lifestyle and create a protected at-home feeling for your baby.

Creating application packages on Vector Linux
Evanston, Illinois, USA
Dear Barry and Puppy-fans!
I stumbled onto a couple recent rave reviews of Puppy Linux, and a friend and I are both excited about what we read. I took renewed interest lately in Puppy when I learned Puppy now has a full BASH shell! Great!
I've followed Puppy going on two years now. I always thought that the idea of loading a ca. 60 MB distro fully into RAM is a very good idea. We like that your site goes into the preparation of application packages.
I especially like Puppy forking internally instead of trying to be one size
fits all. �MultiSession Puppy� for example I think I will let alone, but for
some people it might hit a sweet spot. By what amounts to �forking� into a handful of well defined Puppies, you are giving people the flexibility they
need for their particular situation.
Where garden variety computers are concerned, it looks like there is now a practical RAM limit of 256 MB. In my own thinking I'm wanting to keep to
128 MB to be sure that everybody will be included in the math hobby group with whom world wide I'm looking to share the BASH scripts I plan to write along with the Yacas command line algebra program. I hope to keep to a core Puppy which does nicely with 128 MB RAM, with lots of wiggle room upwards, extending to an absolute max of 256 MB RAM. It's nice that a swap partition can help out, and yet I can't necessarily expect my fellow hobbyists to create such a partition.
I may have to provide several live CDs to the fellow hobbyists, because of
hardware detection from one PC to the next. Thus I may wind up with a Kanotix version and a PCLinuxOS version in addition to a Puppy. I've ruled out other mini distros than Puppy for reasons it would take too long to go into. Mainly, I must have BASH.
Kanotix (and I think also Knoppix) provide several options with UnionFS, and I think these options show foresight. My inexpert opinion is that without these options UnionFS might work against a user. Mainly, a person does want tight control over such a powerful tool as UnionFS. You may wish to provide these same options: To boot i.e. with:
( 1.) No UnionFS.
( 2.) UnionFS read only entire RAMDISK. Load previous filesystem changes (if any) into RAMDISK.
( 3.) UnionFS read write entire RAMDISK and write all changes only to /temp in RAMDISK.
( 4.) UnionFS read write the entire RAMDISK and be able to write all changes to specified /home directory.
Each option, of course, allows writing to the /home directory to some extent (if a /home directory has been set up). Naturally, each boot up allows specifying any (or no) /home directory. To explain in this e mail why I like this set of options would mean writing a treatise. But I think I'm on to something here. I'll not explain more until I'm sure I know what I'm talking about. Having these four choices means huge flexibility, which has great appeal for me. May I suggest you might want to offer these options?
I'm pleased you're going with Vector Linux. It too has gotten good reviews
lately. I like that you spell out why you are choosing Vector. I like that
some of your reasons are strictly practical and that you do not hesitate to say what they are. I like that Vector Linux runs well on older hardware.
Both my friend and I would like to become competent enough to use any distro and just put any and all extra packages which don't accompany the distro itself into /opt or /usr/local. (Stow works only with /usr/local. XStow will supposedly work also with /opt. My friend and I do not know enough to say whether an XStow is even necessary.) If /usr/local and /opt are respected, I think the differences among distros more or less vanish for the everyday desktop user. (It has been tough slogging through all this information, but a few bright spots of clarity emerge here and there.) As you I'm sure well know, these issues are tough, yet I can't believe they are really all that tough once a few key concepts are in place. Puppy of course works around some tough issues with ROX or KLIK style packages. To me, the key to the Linux desktop is clearly how to make those packages, yet also where to install those ROX-like packages.
It does look like from day one of Unix that /opt was designed for these
packages. Should Puppy go with /opt and thus teach everybody in
get-hands-dirty practical ways what Unix really is about? Including even those who will not be using Puppy itself? The practical side of Puppy seems to be this:
Shouldn't those who wish to contribute packages to Puppy by using Vector Linux all be working on the same page and so: (1) Compile so that the app and all its dependencies go into /usr/local/pkg_name and can at least be run at the command line from there by ./name_of_executable
(2) Proceed then to make this package drop into /opt on any distro whatever? Yes, this method will duplicate some libraries, but for practical uses in the home-desktop context, who cares? Did not OpenOffice begin by getting installed into /opt before anybody tried to integrate it into (say) Debian, Red Hat or into any of them?
If I ever figure this all out (!) I'll submit it to Puppy first. We would of
course like to know what any of you thinks about what I've mentioned here. (My friend and I are both about your same age). In the meantime, congrats Barry on the Puppy reviews. I can imagine you're happy about the publicity!

unionfs is fairly simple
for example, to turn off /usr read/write, just type
umount /usr
this is an interesting package system
everything is in one app dir
it can be run directly from the dir
or it can be installed to any dir you choose

Actually, Bash is not yet the default on 1.0.4.
in a script still runs the old Ash.
You have to do this:
I'm cautious! Will probably put Bash as the default shell for 1.0.5.

Isn't that basically the same thing as a DotPup? I thought DotPups were applications-in-a-directory.

That pussy is of no use to anyone after taking that horse cock, it has been spent! lol
Every woman needs to experience this kind of cock.
OMG!!! I wanna feel that monster deep inside me, that must be the ultimate experience... XXX
You can get that
I love to suck off that big black dick
Now I don fell so bad for having a cock only half the size of that one. At least I can keep the attention of the pussy until they finish... This babe seem to have lost interest after a couple of minutes ;P
as a female, i find that size cock a total turn off, it does zero for me. its too big to enjoy, my male has a beautiful medium cock that is hard and is a total joy to pleasure. she is minging and needs a new line of work...icky
I think your right because my man has a big dick and it feels good
Mr. 18 inch-can't get or keep it hard.
Dr. Eiseneichel
his dick is so big he cant get hard!
that girl is gross
Whut tha fuck is wrong wit dat cock?!
I've had the worst luck! I always end up in bed with men who have small cocks. Ok so i dated a few asians but even the mexican and white guys have had small ones. I haven't slept with a black man, but seriously just ONCE i'd like an avergae-big size cock like the ones I see in porn!
she cant have fun thats y she tells him to stand up
who this girl?
Missing the point. He may have a big cock but it never gets hard. Girls don't really go for that. Remember the girl is a porn star - if you were to get with her surely the amount of previous fucks might be the issue not the colour of the fucks? I may not be as big but the girlies love my medium sized rock hard cock!!!
Huge meat & Zero performance. + now I copy why there is silicon. This was terrible. Made me feel better about myself actually.
What good is a 12" cock if you dont have enough blood pressure to keep a 4 incher hard?
@ Jenna: God made black men and gave them bbc's because he realised after he made white men that white girls need more satisfaction and pleasure! Black men are made for white women! ;-) @ Paul: My first black cock experience is not long ago and my hubby still loves me! All white hubbys must be like my darling and award their white wifeys lusts to a bbc! White wifeys who fucks black men are not gross, they're just enjoying the satisfaction that they deserve! So don't be so disrespectful please...
Please go marry a black man and show an ounce of respect to the dude currently keeping you.
Boy there sure is a lot of hate on this video.A lot of racism.This site is for porn either look at porn and shut up or keep your racist comments to your self.Especially you Jenna.Tell me how many times have you put your brains over a black mans cock.i bet plenty.
I am a Alabama white woman who loves sucking and fucking big dick black men the more I get the more I want
Why would any white guy want a white girl after they have been with a black guy in the first place? White girls that do that are GROSS
I fuck my friends wife Ashley like this every day when my friend is at work. Ashley has a very tight pussy and moan loud when I slide my 10" cock in her pussy. Then I stand up and slide her up n down my cock feeling her get tighter, then lay her back down and fuck her faster balls deep. Then I begin kissing her as I pump my cum in her, she wraps her legs around me and starts grinding me as cums. Ashley has the best pussy and the tightest pussy. I love fuckin her..
I'm I the only one who thinks he needs to get a proper hardon to do that?
You can tell she's had some big things inside of her. As the saying goes, "God gave black men big dicks because he felt sorry for not giving them any brains....."
Who is she? I wanna know her name. Is she in any other films?
I know from experience that he don't need to be hard to penetrate the wet pussy. My ex wife used to be fucked by a older black guy with 14 inches of fat meat and he got it in her and it slid in and out as long as we kept her in one position.
One thing for sure she aint never gonna take white boy dick again after that fucking monster. she's well fucking hammered out.
Wow she just straight to it
you know he was tappin botton at 17:45
This girl is a great actress lol
I wish there was a video out there with a guy with a dick like his but much harder pounding the woman until she screams with pain and pleasure!
it is thr
What a gorgeous girl. Hope she saves some for me.
Give it to me yeah"!
Hhaha Steve Harvy?
Give him a break he's old and it takes him all night what he used to do all night. I'd be more afraid of those fingernails. DAAAMMMNNNN those are too long!
Dr Dolittle does porn?
thats my dad
is good have a big dick
she gat small pussy
her nails are gross
Missing the point. He may have a big cock but it never gets hard. Girls don't really go for that. I may not be as big but the girlies love my medium sized rock hard cock!!!
Das Ding muss nicht riesig sein (aber auch nicht zu klein natürlich ;) ) Der Kerl muss nur wissen, wie er damit umzugehen hat ebenso Frau.
What a huge cock!
fucking a horse(-)man. if this thing gets really stiff he will die :-)
Was nützt dir der riesen Schwanz wenn du ihn nicht hart bekommst - Haha
omg, cant stay hard.....
wow is right... 0.o that cock scares me..lol

My only contention will be that there's no reason to think that a moral system can only be based on God.
On the theistic view, objective moral values are rooted in God. God's own holy and perfectly good nature supplies the absolute standard against which all actions and decisions are measured. God's moral nature is what Plato called the "Good." He is the locus and source of moral value. He is by nature loving, generous, just, faithful, kind, and so forth.Moreover, God's moral nature is expressed in relation to us in the form of divine commands which constitute our moral duties or obligations. Far from being arbitrary, these commands flow necessarily from His moral nature. In the Judaeo-Christian tradition, the whole moral duty of man can be summed up in the two great commandments: First, you shall love the Lord your God with all your strength and with all your soul and with all your heart and with all your mind, and, second, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On this foundation we can affirm the objective goodness and rightness of love, generosity, self-sacrifice, and equality, and condemn as objectively evil and wrong selfishness, hatred, abuse, discrimination, and oppression.
I think that what this objection is really getting at is the claim that it's somehow arbitrary to adopt God's nature as the Good. But every moral realist theory has to have an explanatory stopping point at which one reaches the ultimate good. Anyone who broaches a moral theory is entitled to identify whatever he wants as his ultimate explanatory stopping point. The question, then, will be, is the explanatory ultimate posited by some moral theory plausible? In the case of theism, taking God to be one's explanatory ultimate is, I think, eminently plausible. For the very concept of God is the concept of a necessary, metaphysically ultimate being, one, moreover, that is worthy of worship. Indeed, He is the greatest conceivable being, and it is greater to be the Good than merely to reflect it. So the theist's stopping point, in contrast to, say, the humanist's, is not at all arbitrary or premature.
Still, I think that I would a bit farther than you and argue that there is no logical reason to believe God's Laws are correct. Likewise, I don't think that there's any logical reason to think that maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain should be the basis for morality. And I don't think that there's any reason to think of stepping back behind John Rawls' veil of ignorance is anything more than a thought experiment. None of these things are an obvious place to start building a moral system.
Once you do this and get 2 billion followers, become the world's largest religion and the world's fastest growing religion simultaneously, let me know.
Once you introduce science and medicine and the idea of a university, abolish slavery, figure out limited constitutional government... I might start to take your word that your word is in fact divine revelation.
1. There's no logical reason to think God's laws are correct.Absolutely. If God doesn't exist, the stuff we find in the Bible is just chicken scratch by desert goat herders. If He does, I hope the section above has shown how his laws actually are valid.
Under atheism, the very most we can say of morality is it some sort of herd instinct evolved by homo sapiens to further the species.
Once one assumes the atheistic hypothesis, so far as I can tell one loses any and all basis for such laws having any authoritative weight behind them.
Without God as an anchor for morality, there would be no reason to obey any moral duty or recognize any ethical value on one's fellow humans.
The first professional scientists can be traced to the late Middle Ages ... the overwhelming majority of them have not only been Christians, but have also viewed their work as a fulfillment of Christian objectives ... Here is a partial list of leading scientists who were Christian: Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Brahe, Descartes, Boyle, Newton, Leibniz, Gassendi, Pascal, Mersenne, Cuvier, Harvey, Dalton, Faraday, Herschel, Joule, Lyell, Lavoisier, Priestley, Kelvin, Ohm, Ampere, Steno, Pasteur, Maxwell, Planck, Mendel. A good number of these scientists were clergymen. Gassendi and Mersenne were priests. So was Georges Lemaitre, the Belgian astronomer who first proposed the "big bang" theory for the origin of the universe. Mendel, whose discovery of the principles of heredity would provide vital support for the theory of evolution, spent his entire adult life as a monk in an Augustinian monastery. Where would modern science be without these men? Some were Protestant and some were Catholic, but all saw their scientific vocation in distinctively Christian terms.
Still, I think if you're allowed this basket of axioms then everyone else is entitled to theirs. One could just as easily "prove" the plausibility of humanism by assuming the entirety of humanism is true, including its appeal to maximizing human well being or whatever as the standard of good. This would, of course render your second point false--morality can exist without god if we assume the entirety of humanism or utilitarianism or whatever moral system you like.
I think that even if we assume that God exists and is responsible for the Law, it's still not all that clear why we should follow God's Law unless we make the additional assumption that we should follow God's Law. My point here is that any moral system is going to require this sort of basic assumption.
"Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them.
7 They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man. 8 Among their victims were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. 9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder. 10 They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps. 11 They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals, 12 and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho. 13 Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. 14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle. 15 "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. 16 "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the LORD in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the LORD's people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
To insist that a status of society, which has been almost universal, and which is expressly and continually justified by Holy Writ, is its natural, normal, and necessary status, under the ordinary circumstances, is on its face a plausible and probable proposition. To insist on less, is to yield our cause, and to give up our religion; for if white slavery be morally wrong, be a violation of natural rights, the Bible cannot be true.
The Oracular Decisions of God have positively declared that the Slave Trade is intrinsically good and licit, [and that the holding of slaves] is perfectly consonant to the principles of the Law of Nature, the Mosaic Dispensation, and the Christian Law.
The doom of Ham has been branded on the form and features of his African descendants. The hand of fate has united his color and destiny. Man cannot separate what God hath joined.
45. And also from the children of the residents that live among you, from them you may acquire [slaves] and from their family that is with you whom they begot in your land, and they shall become your inheritance. 46. You shall hold onto them as an inheritance for your children after you, as acquired property, and may thus have them serve you forever. But as for your brethren, the children of Israel, a man shall not work his brother with rigor. [Leviticus 25, from chabad.org in case you're wondering about the translation]
Those acts that God performs, the nature that God exhibits when He acts, those things are good and righteous and holy and lovely."
When asking you to show me how the God of the Bible is a brute, I want you to show me how the God of the whole Bible is evil. You know, the same God that created mankind and saw them rebel, the God that is merciful and patient and longsuffering when his creation sins, the God that (that same book says) does not delight in the death of the wicked.
The hedonist doesn't get to say "pleasure is good" because it is logically equivalent to saying "Purple smells like strawberries" - it is logically meaningless.When the Christian says "God is good" he's saying "Those acts that God performs, the nature that God exhibits when He acts, those things are good and righteous and holy and lovely." When the hedonist tries to say the same thing, you end up saying "Those acts that pleasure performs, the nature that pleasure exhibits when it (he? she?) acts, those things are good and righteous and holy and lovely." Obviously this is meaningless (pleasure doesn't act). Rather, the statement "pleasure is good" is read as "It is good to pursue pleasure" or restated, "One ought pursue pleasure." Look what happened though! The Christian, in positing a holy and lovely God that is, has no need to start with any "ought" statements - that one "is" statement is enough to define morality. The hedonist, on the other hand, must start with an "ought" statement - "one ought pursue pleasure." Thus the hedonist runs smack-dab into Hume's chasm. I can legitimately ask: what is it about pleasure that's good? Why ought we pursue pleasure? Because you said so? Because a bunch of smart people got together and said so? That's not really good enough, is it? All pleasure really is is increased levels of dopamine in the human brain, and there's nothing really inherently good in that, is there? It's impossible to go from describing what pleasure is (increased levels of dopamine in the brain) to what one ought do with pleasure. (pursue it.) Thus morality (those ought statements) does not exist in the same way that other real things exist.
You state you're not a hedonist, but you nonetheless object to the gang-rape scenario. From a hedonist (which you're admittedly not,) I'm not sure I'd buy that the pain caused by rape is somehow "deeper" than the pleasure men and women typically get from sex. Pleasure is pleasure, and pain is pain, right? Both are measurable, right? Why do you get to wave your hand and say certain forms of pain are "deeper" than other forms of pleasure? In any case, you're not a utilitarian, so I'm comfortable dropping this point.
To begin with, pleasure doesn't need to act or be a thing that can act in order to be considered good in some meaningful way.
This really seems like whacking Christianity with any available stick that comes to hand. Christianity is popular? Must have come about by force. Do you think that Womens' Suffrage came about solely through force as well? What about civil rights? Limited government? The idea of intrinsic value of humanity? If not, why argue that Christianity's propogation is solely due to guys with guns?
I mean, look at how Christianity is spreading today - it's either by children born into families whose parents introduce it to them as something that they think is clearly good for them, or else by missionaries who tend to do significant charity work while spreading a message of peace and hope and love and good news. That's not exactly the conversions at gunpoint you seem to be envisioning.
I'd argue that science is as Christian as singing hymns or going to church Sunday morning - the people who invented it thought of it as a Christian thing to do.
Are you saying the founders of the African slave trade saw it as a distincly Christian enterprise? Even if you can show that (which is what it would take to show a true parallel), you have to realize that the folks who ended it (whose arguments trumped the ones you list) saw the abolition movement as a Christian enterprise as well.
It's a historical fact that western civilization has been enormously influenced by Christianity, and you and I would think very different things about science, civil rights, intrinsic values on human life, and lots of other things if it weren't for Christian influence on western civilization. (I assume you're a member of "western civilization," if you're not I apologize for the assumption.)
Yes, that genocide was good.
Look, I could point out how the Caananites were sacrificing their firstborn to fire, and how anyone who could listen to their own child screaming as they were literally burned alive doesn't deserve a ton of sympathy here. I could point out that it's very reasonable of God to ensure that his chosen people don't take up that particular barbaric practice, and that given they were rather sponge-like in their worship of their neighbor's gods, God wanted a more surefire way to ensure this one didn't make it's way into Israel.
Well, sure, in some meaningful way. The opening 1. ... c5 is a good response to 1. e4 in chess - it avoids mirroring white's move, it makes a play for the center square d4, and it opens up the trade later on with white's center d pawn by giving up your non-center c pawn. It is thus definitely good in a meaningful way. But it's not really morally good, is it? There's nothing ethically good about 1. ... c5. It's just a (good) move in chess.
...this objection of yours, I think, is more of a collision than a serious point. I'm absolutely playing word games by defining as God something that is just and good and holy - if God does not exist. If he does not, in fact, exist, then all I'm really doing is packaging up all those things I baselessly have a preference for (rape vs. non rape, theft vs non-theft, strawberry ice cream vs. chocolate ice cream) and assigning those to my made-up God. This is all word games - assuming God does not exist. Assuming He is actually out there, though - assuming there really is a self-existent ultimate being out there who prefers rape to non rape, theft to non-theft, and strawberry ice cream to chocolate ice cream
When the Christian says "God is good" he's saying "Those acts that God performs, the nature that God exhibits when He acts, those things are good and righteous and holy and lovely." When the hedonist tries to say the same thing, you end up saying "Those acts that pleasure performs, the nature that pleasure exhibits when it (he? she?) acts, those things are good and righteous and holy and lovely." Obviously this is meaningless (pleasure doesn't act). Rather, the statement "pleasure is good" is read as "It is good to pursue pleasure" or restated, "One ought pursue pleasure." Look what happened though! The Christian, in positing a holy and lovely God that is, has no need to start with any "ought" statements - that one "is" statement is enough to define morality. The hedonist, on the other hand, must start with an "ought" statement - "one ought pursue pleasure."
There's nothing intrinsic in pleasure itself that makes it worth pursuing, out here in the real world.
Looked at naturalistically, nothing in nature is good or evil. An earthquake might seem evil, until one realizes that naturalistically, those lives that it destroyed are just hunks of carbon whose constituent parts are slightly rearranged. A pandemic might seem horrendous, until one realizes that for every human live lost, a bacterial or viral life (or lives) was gained.
Similarly, asking me what a "bad" god would look like carries a hidden assumption. There is only one God (in 3 persons), and He is good - asking me to describe a bad version is making the implicit assumption that Gods are something that exist only in believers heads
Because I'm a Christian, I'll further be maintaining that it is the Christian God alone that supplies the basis of morality, not some fuzzy deity that nobody knows about, or some amoral Zeus who's only morality seems to be get as many mortals pregnant as possible.

Hey Hey all...
I was browsing PacketStorm and noticed a rather interesting pdf entitled "Building and Implementing a Successful Information Security Policy"
I haven't read all of it yet, but it looks fairly decent.
The purpose of this paper is to outline the strategies and managing processes behind implementing a successful
Security Policy. Additionally, I will give recommendations for the creation of a Security Awareness Program,
where the main objective will be to provide staff members with a better, if not much improved understanding
of the issues stated in a security policy.
We will also be focusing on significantly reducing the integration period of the security policy, by way of proper
explanation of all of the items pointed out in a formal security policy document.
02. Scope
This paper is by no means intended to be a complete reference on the process of building a security policy or
the development of a security awareness course. Instead, it was created with the idea of providing the reader
with a reliable source of advice, various recommendations and useful tips gathered from my personal
experiences while building and developing security policies, as well as conducting security awareness courses.
This document will also provide you with a sample security newsletter, best practises concerning various
information security threats, as well as discuss in detail some of the most common security problems which
companies are facing every day (concentrating specifically on security problems endangering somehow the
continuity and the proper functionality of the institution).

09.30.09 Fast BreaksPosted by rtmsf on September 30th, 2009
You know what tomorrow is, right? Yeah, October. Us too.
- Scare at Tennessee. A very frightening story out of Knoxville earlier this week was that Vol sophomore forward Emmanuel Negedu collapsed while lifting weights on Monday and reportedly had to be revived by UT medical staff prior to his transport to the hospital. He's spent the last two nights there under watch, and doctors continue to perform tests on him to make sure that he's not suffering from something deadly. We all know the stories over the years, from Len Bias to Hank Gathers to Reggie Lewis, and these are always scary incidents. RTC wishes Negedu the best of luck and wishes for a full recovery.
- Cleaning up at Binghamton... Two ugly incidents put an early stain on the 2009-10 season, as we discussed in separate posts when they happened last week. Both were stories capable of sending shock waves through college basketball this week, though, as Binghamton yesterday fired an adjunct lecturer who claimed in a NYT article last February that basketball players were receiving preferential treatment in the classroom (grade changing, independent study, and the like). The Binghamton program is now in shambles on the court, but we continue to be shocked and amazed that Kevin Broadus, the recruiter of all the problem children who ended up dismissed (and arrested), is skating on this one. Seriously, think about this – Binghamton cans the whistleblowing prof but not the coach who orchestrated the entire mess? How is this possible? Isn't the SUNY chancellor now the same woman who stood on the library steps and shouted "no more" to the Cincinnati faithful when she 86ed Bob Huggins four years ago? And yet she's curiously silent (along with BU's president, Lois B. DeFleur, for the most part). Something's not right here, and we figure there's more to come. If there is, we can rest assured the NYT's Pete Thamel will figure it out. EDITED TO ADD: Yep, the AD is gone, can Broadus be far behind?
- …and Kansas. Perhaps the uglier incident last week was the three fights between members of the KU basketball and football teams. Much was written about how embarrassing this was to the university, the athletic department, the coaches and players involved, and Thursday's public, formal apologies did little to defuse the PR hit that Bill Self's program took last week. The word is that players were fighting over (what else?) girls and rep, but KU football players shouldn't be fooled into thinking that just because they've had a nice run in that program the last few years that Kansas will ever be anything but a basketball school. The question now is what will Bill Self do to punish the guilty parties? We already know that Tyshawn Taylor was involved due to his dislocated finger that'll hold him out of workouts for around a month. We also know that one of the Morris twins pushed a football player down the stairs, a very dangerous act of battery (this would be Markieff's second, btw) that was mitigated by another player catching the falling player as he made his way downward. News outlets all report that there were some other hoops players involved as well. We think that, for the sake of his program, Bill Self has to take a very serious stand on this one. You simply cannot have the players on a preseason #1 team running around campus fighting indiscriminately with players from the football team. Not only can your own players get hurt, but with so many big bodies involved, run-of-the-mill students can also get hurt. Luckily, that didn't happen here, but Self needs to show that he's totally in charge of his program. Anything less than a several-game suspension for all of the players involved would reveal that early-season Ws are more important to him than discipline. If it were us, we'd sit the Morris who threw the player down the stairs for ten games and the others for five each. No questions asked. If Kansas loses an early game or two versus Memphis and/or UCLA because of it, well, too bad. The good will that Self engenders as a no-nonsense coach will provide far greater benefits over time in terms of recruiting and public reputation than it will by letting these players off easy.
- Non-BCS Schools Receive Harsher Penalties Than BCS Schools – No Way!! This jewel made it into our inbox last week from the Orlando Sentinel. The Michael Buckner Law Firm performed an analysis that showed that the average years of probation meted out to non-BCS programs was longer than those handed out to BCS programs over a 4+ year period in the late 2000s. The average amount of probation time for a non-BCS program was 2.74 years versus 2.58 years for BCS programs. There's no accounting for whether the difference is simple error or actual bias, but what is more damning from this study is the finding that the HBCU schools (historically black colleges and universities) were given 3.83 years of probation versus the aforementioned 2.58 for BCS schools. That seems a little ridiculous to us. Of course, the NCAA predictably dismissed the study on statistical grounds, and we understand their complaint. So here's our suggestion to the NCAA: hire an independent researcher to examine your enforcement policies and practices for consistency and bias, and get back to us. Something tells us we'll be waiting on that for quite some time.
- Quick Hits. Blue Ribbon: top 25 and all-americans. James Isch: good luck, sir. Billy Clyde: offered a plea bargain in Ky. Gary Williams: one-year extension. Nolan Richardson: the descent continues. MVC Nonconf Schedules: tremendous analysis. Gonzaga: are they reloading or rebuilding in Spokane? Luke Winn: charting peaks and valleys of the offseason. Avery Bradley and Jared Sullinger: get to know them. CvC: pushing for healthcare reform on Capitol Hill. Goodman: top 20 backcourts and top 20 frontcourts AND his Big 12 preview. Tyler Smith: who will be the first person he follows on Twitter? Jim Crews: fired at Army after 7 years. Herb Sendek: busily not gloating in Tempe. Demetrius Jemison: Bama forward out for the season with a ruptured Achilles. Shocker: Derrick Rose says he took his own SAT. A Decade Ago: Harold "The Show" Arceneaux. Ray McCallum, Sr.: walking the fine line between parent and recruiter.

The Havelock High girls basketball team took a key step toward a possibly playoff spot, beating White Oak 37-32 Wednesday in a Coastal 3A Conference game in Jacksonville.
The Havelock High girls basketball team took a key step toward a possibly playoff spot, beating White Oak 37-32 Wednesday in a Coastal 3A Conference game in Jacksonville.
The White Oak girls� team (12-7, 4-5) was hoping to remain in fourth place in the conference. Instead, White Oak fell to fifth place while Havelock (9-8, 4-5) jumped to fourth since it has two wins this season over the Vikings. Havelock beat White Oak 38-31 on Dec. 11.
�Our conference, all of us are fighting to try to get into the playoffs now that we are in the second rotation (of league play),� Havelock coach Anna Spear said.
The conference gets five playoff spots, and the Rams have five league games left, starting with a home contest against Washington on Friday night.
In what was a back and forth but defensive battle, the Vikings took a 24-23 lead into the fourth quarter and led 26-25 with 5:35 left.
That�s when the Rams pulled away.
Havelock surged ahead with a 6-0 run, with two points coming on a layup by Shakina Dyer to give the Rams a 27-26 edge with 4:28 remaining. Kierra Fleming capped the spurt on a putback for a 31-26 cushion.
The Vikings got within three in the final two minutes but no closer.
�We missed a couple of shots within the 3-point line that were open,� White Oak coach Carolyn Ashdown said. �Their defense is kind of big with their hands up and for us to try to penetrate and kick, we were not able to do it.�
White Oak was 2 of 13 from the field in the final eight minutes while Havelock was 4 of 7. The Rams� primary focus on defense was to limit Vikings� senior center Lyric Levester, who finished with 9 points and 13 rebounds.
Emily McLain had 11 points and 6 rebounds for WOHS while Tineisha Smith had 8 points and 6 boards.
�We still wanted to not allow penetration of No. 32 (Levester),� Spear said of her team�s fourth-quarter game plan. �We wanted to try to keep her out. We felt if we could contain (Levester and McLain) then we could stay in our matchups.�
But limiting Levester wasn�t just Havelock�s plan in the fourth quarter. The Rams spent the entire game defending the Vikings� leading scorer.
�They just played zone and their defense made us struggle,� Ashdown said. �When we penetrated, they rotated one person in front and one person behind her. Every time she caught it, there was a person in the front and behind her. And the biggest thing came when somebody shot, they were able to put two people on her to box her out and get the rebound.�
White Oak had a few possessions in the second and third quarters with the lead without much half-court pressure from the Rams, who were in zone. Ashdown was asked if she considered holding the ball for longer periods of times since her team struggled getting it inside.
�We definitely tried to manage the clock as best we could without having to mess up tempo,� she said. �Sometimes when you slow down for too long and get out of tempo, it turns into, �Oh, we need a basket. What do we do? We�ve been standing around holding the ball for so long.�
�Last game we played them, the pace was a little faster.�
Natalie Johnson and Dyer each scored 12 points for Havelock.
Havelock 64,
White Oak 47
Leading 2-0, White Oak yielded a 13-0 first-quarter run and never recovered in falling to the Rams in a Coastal Conference game.
With the victory, the Rams improved to 10-7 overall and 7-2 in the conference, battling with South Central and West Craven for the top three spots in the conference.
Kendall White scored 12 points for White Oak (5-14, 2-7). He was coming off a 30-point effort on Tuesday in a 67-64 win over West Carteret.
Pharoh Cooper scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to lead Havelock. Zack Bruns had 14 points, while David Carter and Matt Prichard hit for 12 each.

There wasn't much chance of the Huskies quitting or being in awe of ninth-ranked Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl Saturday night.
That could have been evidenced by the way fullback Anthony Sherman trudged to his way to a 41-yard reception seeking out another score late in the fourth quarter.
Ultimately, it was what it was - Oklahoma's speed on offense and quarterback Landry Jones, with a school bowl-record 429 yards passing and three touchdowns, were a little bit too much for the No. 25 Huskies. Make it a lot.
The Huskies didn't help themselves with two interceptions returned on them for scores and too many wasted scoring opportunities. Jordan Todman had a struggle, though he went over 100 yards.
All of it added up to a 48-20 loss before 67,232 at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The Huskies' first trip to the BCS bowl showed a sizable disparity in talent, but a Randy Edsall-coached team won't quit. It will fight to the end.
It just needed some faster fighters Saturday night, as the Sooners ended a five-game BCS bowl losing streak.
"To win a game after those [losses], it's just a great feeling," said Jones, whose favorite target, All-American Ryan Broyles, had 13 catches for 170 yards and a 5-yard fourth-quarter touchdown.
All-American Jordan Todman had 121 yards on 32 carries, and Robbie Frey returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown for the Huskies, who were within 34-20 entering the fourth quarter.
"Our kids battled the entire time," Edsall said. "I told the kids it's a game of inches and we couldn't make enough inches today."
Added linebacker and captain Scott Lutrus: "We didn't give up. The entire game we played our butts off, it just didn't work out our way."
Todman, a junior, said after the game that he will enter the NFL draft.
"I felt like it was the right time for me," Todman said. "I stand pretty good with the competition. ... Me and my family decided it's the right decision for me."
Edsall said he supports the decision. "I think it's the right decision," he said. "I know it's the right decision. What more can he do here? He rushed for over 1,600 yards this year and almost 1,200 last year. It's the right decision."
Given all the Huskies were facing, and the way the defense kicked it in the second quarter after a shaky first, UConn had to be pleased being down 20-10 at halftime.
It could have been worse.
The Sooners (12-2) amassed 279 yards of offense in the first half and did not punt, scoring on a four of five possessions.
The Huskies (8-5) scored on the other, a 46-yard interception return by Dwayne Gratz with 12:38 left in the first quarter.
The super hot Jones, who finished 34 of 49, was 12-for-12 before he tossed Gratz the pick-six opportunity.
The Huskies didn't give up any more touchdowns after that, only a pair of Jimmy Stevens field goals (41 and 24 yards), but Jones was still cutting up the defense en route to completing 21 of 27 for 233 yards and a touchdown in the first half.
Broyles caught seven for 117 yards in the half.
The UConn offense struggled to get in gear through the first 30 minutes. Todman had only 34 yards on 13 carries, but 19 came on one rush, his longest of the game, on second-and-10.
Still, it led to Dave Teggart's 37-yard field goal after Frazer (10-for-16, 73 yards in the half) missed Kashif Moore - wearing No. 6 in honor of slain former teammate Jasper Howard - just long in the end zone.
The Sooners ran a total of 18 plays on their first two possessions and got 14 points out of it.
They sandwiched a UConn drive that lasted better than six minutes and produced nothing after Frey was stopped on fourth-and-1 at the Oklahoma 18. The Sooners needed just 6:18 for two TDs and a 14-0 lead.
Oklahoma won the toss but opted to see what Todman and the UConn offense were going to do, so it deferred.
Todman and the Huskies did nothing on that opening series and he was stopped cold on third-and-one at the UConn 30.
The Sooners covered 70 yards in nine plays to go up 7-0. They picked up six first downs on the drive, with four coming through the air. Tight end James Hanna finished it off with a 8-yard TD catch.
The Huskies responded with a methodical 55-yard drive to the Oklahoma 19 before Frey was stuffed on a fourth-and-1.
The Sooners increased the lead to two scores immediately - another nine-play drive covered 81 yards. Tailback DeMarco Murray punched it in from the 3 with 24 seconds to go in the quarter.
How the big play on this drive occurred is a mystery, but Broyles was left to roam free in a soft spot and ran for much of his 39 yards before any defender even noticed.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker and Anderson split their Conference Carolinas double-header on Friday afternoon, with Coker winning game one 6-5 and Anderson winning game two 3-1. After the day Coker is now 20-19 overall and 9-14 in the conference, while Anderson is 14-27 overall and 8-11 in conference play.
In game one Anderson was first to score, posting four runs in the second inning, but Coker answered with three runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning. Coker then evened the game at four apiece with a run in the third. The Trojans scored another run in the fourth to take the 5-4 lead, but Coker tied the game again with a run in the sixth.
The game remained tied through the seventh and eighth innings, and into the bottom of the ninth. In the ninth Coker lead off the inning with a triple by Brian Luchsinger (Farmingville, N.Y.), Anderson then loaded the bases with a pair of intentional walks to bring Matthew Kearnes (Bay Shore, N.Y.) to the plate with bases loaded and no outs. Kearnes came through in the clutch with a high chopper through between third and short that brought Luchsinger home for a 6-5 Cobra win.
Tyler Witzel (West Melbounre, Fla.) (4-3) went the distance for the Cobras to earn the win. He allowed five runs on 12 hits in nine innings of work with a strikeout.
For Anderson, B.J. Scarborough (2-1) took the loss, coming on in the ninth, allowing one run on one hit with two outs.
Every single Cobra hitter had at least one hit, with Trey Lynch (Florence, S.C.) being the only Coker player with multiple hits; he had two triples with an RBI and two runs scored. Nick Fuoco (Palm Bay, Fla.) had a home run three RBIs and a run scored and Jordan Buenting (Ankeny, Iowa) and Kearnes each drove in a run.
For Anderson, Derek Hipp, Chance Thomas, Ryan Saxon, Ryan Kirkland and Erick Sanderson each had two hits for Anderson, with Thomas driving in two runs and Hipp driving in one run.
Like game one, Anderson was first to score, plating a run in the first. Then after two scoreless frames, both teams exchanged runs in the fourth to give Anderson a narrow 2-1 lead. Anderson gave themselves a little extra cushion in the sixth with another run to make it 3-1. Coker tried to rally In the seventh, but was unable to get anything going, even though Buenting lead off the inning with a double to left.
David Richardson (3-1) got the win for the Trojans, going all seven innings, allowing one run on six hits, while Matt Long (Florence, S.C.) (9-4) took the loss, allowing three runs on nine hits with two strikeouts in seven innings of work.
Buenting had two hits, including a double with an RBI for Coker, while Daniel Hiatt (Elwood, Ind.) had a double and Brinley Griffin (Port St. John, Fla.), Drew Hardee (Rock Hill, S.C.) and Fuoco each had a hit.
Anderson's Tony Price had a pair of doubles with an RBI, while Blake May also had a double. Saxon and Luke Sawyer both had an RBI apiece as well.
Coker and Anderson will complete their three game series on Saturday starting at 1:00 p.m. Prior to first pitch, Coach Dave Schmotzer and the Cobras will honor their 10 seniors with a special ceremony.

NSIC Tournaments Move To Pentagon In 2014
SIOUX FALLS, SD -- Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Commissioner Butch Raymond announced Tuesday that beginning in 2014 the league will move the NSIC/Sanford Health Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments to the Pentagon by Sanford Health in Sioux Falls.
The three-year agreement was signed today across the street from the under-construction Pentagon at the Sanford FIELDHOUSE at the Sanford Sports Complex.
"The NSIC aims to provide a tremendous student-athlete experience, and the Pentagon aligns with that goal," said Raymond. "Our league has enjoyed a strong relationship with Sanford, and the city of Sioux Falls will undoubtedly be a great host community."
Scheduled to open in the fall of 2013, the Pentagon is a 160,000-square-foot facility comprised of nine basketball courts (six high school regulation, two professional/college practice courts and the "heritage" court). While the entire facility features modern design and amenities, the heritage court located in the center of the building will pay homage to 1950s/1960s basketball.
The facility, as the name describes, is the shape of a pentagon. Floor space can be transitioned from basketball to accommodate 11 volleyball courts and also wrestling and cheer/dance events. The facility is focused on athletics, but will also serve other community needs.
The Pentagon is the center piece of the Sanford Sports Complex located along Westport Avenue between Benson Road and West 54th Street. The 162-acre complex is the home of the Sanford FIELDHOUSE and nine Junior Football fields. The Sioux Falls Ice Sports Association recently announced plans to construct the Scheels IcePlex. The Sioux Falls Tennis Association is also working to construct an indoor venue on site.
"This is a tremendous catch for a community rich in basketball history and one that so passionately follows the sport," said Eric Larsen, general manager of the Sanford Sports Complex. "In addition to the obvious benefits for the Sioux Falls economy, we are thrilled to continue and strengthen a relationship with the top NCAA Division II athletic conference in the country."
The quarterfinals, semifinals and finals of the 2014 NSIC/Sanford Health Women's and Men's Basketball Tournaments will run March 1-4 at the Pentagon. The tournaments, which feature 16 women's and 16 men's teams, begin on Feb. 26 with first-round games at the top seeds from both the North and South divisions of the NSIC.
The NSIC is a 16-team, 18-sport, NCAA Division II Conference with teams located in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. The NSIC has won three NCAA Division II national championships since 2006 and has sent men's teams to the NCAA DII Elite 8 six of the past seven years, while women's squads have advanced two of the last four years.

The Bruins run to the Stanley Cup championship didn't allow for much preparation for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft here at The Bruins Blog.
By now you know the Bruins will be picking at No. 9 in tonight's first round. According to the official NHL draft order, the Bruins then have one pick in each of tomorrow's rounds except for the seventh (the last round).
Here's a quick glance at who some of the recent mock drafts have the Bruins picking tonight:
•Red Line Report
Nathan Beaulieu, D, Saint John (QMJHL)
The Tomas Kaberle experiment hasn't worked out as hoped, so he won't be back. They're praying that Ryan Murphy falls to them, but if not, they'll settle for another high-risk, high-reward puck-moving defender. Time to reload with some young blood on the blue line. (MK note: I don't necessarily agree about the Kaberle comment, but it would make sense for Boston to take a blueliner if there's a solid one available. It's not like the Bruins are looking for someone to play in the NHL next year.)
Jonas Brodin
Boston probably wanted [Ryan] Murphy, but they're not getting him here. Brodin would be a very useful player for Boston's blue line. – Pierre McGuire
•NHL.com/Mike Morreale
Fills need along aging blue line; transitional dynamo with speed, poise and great shot; 45 pts in 65 gms.
•NHL.com/Steven Hoffner
Sven Baertschi, LW, Portland (WHL)
Skilled forward with great hands, lots of fun to watch.
•NHL.com/Deven Persaud
Ryan Murphy, D, Kitchener (OHL)
Murphy's offensive game drawing comparisons to a young Bobby Orr — makes him the perfect Bruins pick.
•The Hockey News
B's playing with house money, so why not tab undersized D-man with mad power play skills?
Ryan Strome, C, Niagara (OHL)
There are nine upper-level prospects in this draft, so the Bruins will sit back and choose the one left to them. Or, they could move down and accumulate picks along the way. Either way, they'll take the best player available.
There may not be a player and team that fit so nicely together than the Stanley Cup champs and the smooth-skating, offensive defenceman from Kitchener. The Bruins didn't get the puck-moving defenceman they thought they had in Tomas Kaberle, who is a good bet to find a new team when he becomes a free agent. The Bruins were able to win the Stanley Cup in spite of their power-play, not because of it. Murphy would inject instant offence and would be given ample opportunity to do what he does best on a team as loaded in talent as Boston.

Latinos push reform on social media
For forty-eight hours last week, a highly coordinated virtual "iMarch" on Washington promoting immigration reform swamped Twitter, generating thousands of tweets that landed more than a half billion times, according to organizers, making it among the largest social media advocacy efforts.
Beyond showing the muscle behind pro-immigration forces, the event represented the culmination of years of savvy and relentless efforts by Latino activists to mobilize supporters through social media, and draw undocumented immigrants out of the shadows to maximize political leverage. Members of Congress critical of the immigration overhaul legislation being debated found their Twitter accounts inundated with hundreds of messages like this one directed at Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas: "@TedCruz /I'm from TX & #iMarch b/c #immigration reform secures our borders and creates jobs Texas." Cruz was bombarded with 300 tweets from pro-reform constituents.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
In the past year alone, activists say social media platforms have been instrumental in bolstering voter registration among Hispanics who supported for Barack Obama, were key in efforts to mobilize the community at various junctures to step up pressure for immigration reform, and served as a vital resource to advise students on how to get temporary legal status through President Obama's deferred action program, which offers a two-year reprieve from deportation. Applicants to the program have even used GPS evidence from Facebook check-ins on their mobile devices to document for the federal government that they meet the residency requirement and were in the country since June 15 of last year.
"We have been able to move the needle through social media and that is the measure of success," says activist Elianne Ramos, a founder of LATISM.org, which was launched in 2009 as "Latins in Social Media" to develop cultural and political connections and communication within the community. The hashtag #LATISM, Ramos says, in now used more than 1 million times a week, reaching more that 10 million people.
Experts say that Hispanics - the fastest growing population in the United States - were among the earliest users of smart phones because of the demographic's growing young population, and because many simply could not afford a computer. Today, 72 percent of Latino Internet users say they are on social media sites compared to 58 percent of all U.S. internet users, according to the Pew Research Hispanic Center. Breaking it down further, 54 percent of Hispanics regularly use Facebook compared with only 43 percent of white Americans. Nielsen found last year in its "The Hispanic Market Imperative" report that Hispanic consumers' use of smartphones, television, online video, and social networking "make this group one of today's most engaged and dynamic populations in the digital space."
The most recent census put the self-identified Hispanic population in the United States at 52 million, and there are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants.
"Our numbers alone won't guarantee the Latino community's full potential without an active community, fully engaged across American economic and political life - that's what social media has given us," said Jason Llorenz, director of Innovation Policy, the Latino Information Network at Rutgers University.

|NYU Psychology
|Ted Coons
Professor of Psychology
Brain Mechanisms of RewardAs an undergraduate at Colorado College and later in the Yale University School of Music, I prepared for a career in music composition and theory. In this pursuit, I became interested in the question of what impact the temporal form of a composition can have on the feelings of an audience. Clearly, the ability to perceive and react to temporal form rests on the ability to store the history of events in memory and to interact this history with brain mechanisms governing emotions. I realized that I had to turn to psychology and neurophysiology in order to profitably explore the question of form and feeling.
One thing led to another, and now, many years later, I am a professor of physiological psychology running a laboratory devoted to studying drive and hedonic mechanisms in the brain and how they interact. While a graduate student in Neal E. Miller's lab at Yale, I discovered stimulation-bound feeding in rats implanted with electrodes in the lateral hypothalamus. Subsequently, my students and I have continued to examine the relationships between a "hunger'' system that is apparently involved and systems subserving reward, pain, and anxiety. What has become evident is that the same hypothalamic stimulation that elicits eating not only ameliorates anxiety and pain but also increases the attractiveness of otherwise unpalatable foods. Opioid and anxiolytic transmitters are implicated. Apparently, some mechanism is involved that adjudicates between the risks of eating, such as attacks from predators or illness from food poisoning, and the risks of starving as a result of avoiding such dangers.
In the process of making these investigations, my lab has also parametrically varied interpulse interval, amplitude, and conditioning-to-test-pulse interval of brain stimulation to ascertain the synaptic and axonal characteristics of the neurons mediating feeding, reward, and pain. In effect, I've taken my interests in studying the relationship between compositional form and audience reaction down to the neural level where cells are presented with electrical pulses in various patterns to study the effects these engender in the sense of reward, hunger, anxiety, and pain felt by the whole audience of cells we call the organism.

Saddle Up: Library wrangles readers this week
BLACKFOOT – Things are a little wild at the Blackfoot Public Library right now. Librarians are dressed like sheriffs and young readers are being deputized.
Registration for the summer reading program opened Monday and librarian Lisa Harral said "we are breaking all records for first day registration. The phones are ringing off the hook, there are tons of people coming in. It is just great."
The theme this summer is "Saddle Up and Read". The library is offering adventure days, activity stations and you will find local faces on wanted posters throughout the summer.
There will be an activity station set up every day through July. They are free of charge and patrons can walk in anytime and participate.
"We get it budgets are tight and summer should be fun," said Harral. "We (the library) have to be the 'fun place' to fill the void. It is a neat opportunity to showcase what we can do. It really is free fun."
The library is prepared to register 1,500 people for the reading program. That is more than ever before. But, once they hit that number they will no longer accept registrations. No registration is required for the other activities. There will be extra "officers" on hand this week to answer questions and register readers. The Blackfoot Public Library is at 129 N. Broadway.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in a leg.
A DVT is dangerous because the clot can break loose, travel through the bloodstream, and block blood flow to the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Without treatment, this can be deadly.
Sitting still for 4 or more hours slows down the blood flow in your legs. This makes your blood more likely to clot. And for the next few weeks, your blood clot risk stays higher than normal.
Even if you are healthy and have a low risk of blood clots, a long flight or road trip raises your risk of DVT.
If you already have a risk of blood clots, prolonged sitting raises your risk even more. Things that can already be raising your risk for DVT include a past DVT or pulmonary embolism, a recent surgery or injury, a blood clotting disorder, and cancer. Things that pose a small risk of DVT include pregnancy, taking hormones for birth control, or hormone therapy.
During a trip of 4 or more hours:
If you already have a risk of blood clots, talk to your doctor before taking a long trip. Your doctor may want you to wear compression stockings or take blood-thinning medicine.
For a few weeks after a long flight or trip, be alert for signs of a blood clot. A DVT needs treatment right away.
