Two groups and one Senator are asking Gov. Rick Scott to look deeper into why Citizens Property Insurance Corp. fired its entire Office of Corporate Integrity unit this month.
On Monday, the leaders of Integrity Florida and Policyholders of Florida fired off a letter to Scott, stating that Citizens' recent decision to disband its corporate integrity unit was "incomprehensible."
"Abusing travel expenditures is unacceptable, but gutting the watchdog inside of the so-called people's insurer of last resort is incomprehensible," wrote Integrity Florida director Dan Krassner and Policyholders of Florida founder Sean Shaw. "We find it especially troubling that the terminated employees were asked to sign confidentiality agreements. It certainly gives a perception of corruption."
Scott has also said he was concerned by Citizens' decision to fire four corporate watchdogs, even as internal complaints of waste, fraud and abuse are on the rise.
Citizens president Barry Gilway said the state-run insurer is realigning its integrity efforts in order to beef up forensic fraud detection, and it has put out job postings for new ethics officers. But the corporate integrity team was disbanded before any forensic accountants were hired.
Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, also asked the governor to probe the firings, which he called shocking.
"The Office of Corporate Integrity should be the watchdogs, not the scapegoat," Fasano wrote in a letter to Scott.
Read the letters from Integrity Florida, Policyholders of Florida and Sen. Fasano, below:
October 22, 2012
Honorable Rick Scott
The Capitol
Tallahassee, Florida 32399
Dear Governor Scott:
We are concerned about the lack of oversight and accountability at Citizens Property Insurance Corporation.
Last week, we learned that Barry Gilway, President of Citizens, terminated every employee within the Office of Corporate Integrity. As you know, these firings came on the heels of reports of lavish, non-mission critical spending. Abusing travel expenditures is unacceptable, but gutting the watchdog inside of the so-called people's insurer of last resort is incomprehensible. We find it especially troubling that the terminated employees were asked to sign confidentiality agreements. It certainly gives a perception of corruption.
We appreciate your public concern and your request that Florida's Chief Inspector General scrutinize the wasteful travel expenditures. However, we are asking you today to expand the focus of the Chief Inspector General's ongoing investigation to review the disbandment of the Office of Corporate Integrity.
Floridians deserve a closer look at Citizen's accountability, ethics, transparency, and compliance. As consumer advocate and government watchdog coalitions, we can only scrutinize and protect policyholders and taxpayers with publicly available information. We rely on internal watchdogs, inspectors, investigators, auditors, and a transparent process to prevent corrupt use of public money and to safeguard the integrity of the public sector.
Taxpayers and policyholders deserve accountability. Thank you for your consideration of our request.
Dan Krassner
Executive Director Founder
Sean Shaw
Integrity Florida Policyholders of Florida

10 Superpowers of Pregnant Women
Pregnant? How those crazy body changes turn you into Wonder Woman (plus one)
- prev
- Next
- 1 of 11
Darrenstone on Flickr (CC Licensed)
Body Part Substitution- Ability to take on the limbs of another.
One thing we love about pregnancy: bigger, more beautiful boobs. Where'd they come from? Who cares? Gotta love that Pam Anderson cleavage.
Photo by Flickr user Darrenstone, Creative Commons
Innate Capability- Naturally possessing knowledge and skills that typically must be taught.
Your grandma did it. Your mama did it. And now it's your turn to be pregnant. And guess what? You somehow just... know what to do. Some call it motherly instinct, but it's a superpower if we've ever heard of one.
Sonic Scream- Producing high-decibel sounds that humans typically do not possess.
Labor screams are unlike scary- movie-screams or dropping-jars-on-your-foot screams . These things can move mountains.
Photo by flickr user Mhalon
Mediumship- Communicating with ghosts or beings in the supernatural world.
Perhaps you aren't communicating with a ghost, but the little growing creature inside you sometimes feels like an alien inhabiting your body. And with all the kicking and flipping, you know he's trying to tell you something.
Photo by Flickr user Abbynormy, Creative Commons
Animal Mimicry- Taking on the characteristics of animals.
Mama alligators carry their babies in their mouths to protect them from predators, and sea otters wrap their babies in seaweed so they won't float away. As a human mama, you'll do all that and way more (things much scarier - like volunteering to take first graders to the museum). You also have been picking up traits of bears or other hibernating animals, hoarding and organizing things in preparation for the big day.

Duplication- Ability to create copies of oneself.
Chances are, she's going to have your hair, or your eyes, or your affinity toward the color pink. But when she starts to develop that sarcastic sense of humor, don't get too mad at her. She got it from you.
Photo by Flickr user Orangeacid, Creative Commons
Precognition- Ability to know exactly what will happen through dreams or inherent wisdom.
Everyone says it's going to be a boy. So what if you're carrying low and out front? You know it's going to be a girl. (And you're probably right.)
Summoning- Ability to call upon the assistance of others.
Use pregnancy to your advantage by getting your husband to carry the laundry basket upstairs, wash dishes, etc. Hey -- you're carrying a baby, you can't be expected to do everything.
Matter Consumption- Ability to eat or take in anything without negative physical or mental effects.
Suddenly, you can eat three pints of ice cream and the entire double cheese pizza. And when you're done, you're ready for dessert.
Biological Manipulation- Having power over the biological aspects of another being.
As a pregnant woman, you have biological control over a very important being - the one inside you. Eat your veggies and your baby will get stronger; listen to Beethoven and you might find yourself with a music lover.


text: "Beautiful" is a song that is bursting with energy and power. Reminiscent of certain famous bands and artists from the past and also with contemporary and fresh style to add a real punch to your production. The theme of "beautiful" is a resounding declaration of beauty, not just on the surface, but the deep beauty that lies deep within everybody. It is a optimistic, celebratory and anthemic song, which is also inspiring and very upbeat. Multiple guitars, and backing vocals alongside pounding drums, which also have a cross-over dance feel, so you get to rock AND to groove! If you are interested in this song as a purely instrumental – no main vocals or backing vocals – I will be happy to supply it as a secondary track alongside your purchase.

Franchise First: Canaries Sweep RailCats On The Road
GARY, IN -- The Sioux Falls Canaries beat the Gary SouthShore RailCats 9-5 on Sunday afternoon at the U.S. Steel Yard and completed a three-game road sweep of the RailCats for the first time in team history.
Playing their best baseball all season, the Canaries (11-13) have won five of their last six games and improved to a 6-3 mark in June after a slow start in May. They are two games behind first-place Fargo-Moorhead in the North Division.
The Canaries never trailed in the game but twice saw Gary SouthShore (11-11) come back and tie the game in the early innings. Jared Clark broke a 3-3 tie in the third inning by launch a leadoff home run, his ninth of the year, and Nate Baumann reached and scored on three errors. Cory Morales punctuated a three-run rally with an RBI single before Gary SouthShore answered with two more runs in bottom of the third to make it 6-5.
Canaries centerfielder Nick Van Stratten, who led off the game with his third home run, led all Canaries hitters, going 3-for-4 with four RBI to cap a series in which he had eight hits, five runs scored, and five RBI. He has matched an earlier season high with a nine-game hitting streak.
Morales hit a two-out, run-scoring single again in the seventh inning and scored on Van Stratten's two-run base hit three batters later. Morales was 2-for-5 with two RBI. Jake Taylor was also 2-for-4 and had at least one RBI in all three games of the series.
Baumann doubled in the ninth inning to extend a hitting streak to nine games.
Gary SouthShore starter Ari Ronick (3-2) gave up six runs, four earned, on seven hits in five innings and took the loss. He walked one and struck out four.
The Canaries begin a three-game home series against the Lincoln Saltdogs at 7:05 p.m. on Monday,

is a GREAT place to put low-entry giveaways ,as long as they have received under 200 entries. And it's free! Good luck! It's how I got started.
And of course you post on twitter and facebook.
Actually, I would be very cautious about requiring email addresses for entries. A lot of people won't share because bots and things can scan the web and grab email addresses and send spam, use them to send phishing emails, hacking, etc. IF the company requires it, I would at the very least edit all those comments and have them put in something like youremail AT gmail DOT com.
I'm a bit confused about the giveaway. Is it a free software copy or just a discount for one winner?
One other thing you could do to make it easier is to break up the paragraphs and maybe do all the ways to enter on separate lines that stand out. Sometimes if there are too many ways to enter it turns people off and they decide to leave (that is me for most giveaways lol).
I just recently started using Rafflecopter to do giveaways and it's neat. I still have a lot to learn but it's been easy to set up.
Hope this helps!
Your blog is really cute, I don't think you need to redesign it unless you really don't like the design. Where have you been advertising your contest? Have you been tweeting a lot, do you have a FB page or Google+ account that you can advertise it on? Do you belong to any other social media communities where you can advertise your contest? It takes a lot of advertising to get people to participate.

"Want to see something really scary?" the demon disguised as a human asks before he reveals himself and consumes his companion in Twilight Zone: The Movie.
I was reminded of that scene when I jumped into the new USGS Climate Change Viewer and took a look at what was projected to happen to the snowpack in my home state of Washington over the next 90 years. By 2040, it would be 25 percent less than today. And by 2100, it would be virtually nothing.
The U.S. Geological Survey launched the Climate Change Viewer last December with temperature and precipitation data. Just last month, USGS added data on projected changes in snowpack, soil moisture, runoff and evaporative deficit for U.S. states and counties.
According to Steve Hostetler, a USGS hydrologist and one of the developers of the Climate Change Viewer, the original temperature and precipitation data comes from NASA, while the climate change models that are applied come from IPCC's (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Fifth Assessment Report.
The Flash-based viewer offers an initial view of the entire continental United States, though users can zoom into individual state or counties. Alternatively, users can choose to work with watershed boundaries.
Seven variables are available for display: maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation, snow, runoff, soil storage and evaporation deficit. And beneath the map, a row of tabs lets users drill down into and display the data underlying the map, including time series that project the chosen variable through 2100. That's the scary stuff.
A PDF tutorial is also provided for those of us who may not understand the differences among the 30 mean models provided.
Hostetler and his colleague Jay Alder began building the viewer three years ago. "We started working with Fish and Wildlife Service and the Great Northern Land Conservation Cooperative," Hostetler said. "One thing led to another, and we decided we should actually put it into a viewer so that not only planners but also the public could access it."
Hostetler said there has been much positive response since the first release in December, which created a lot of public interest. "I think we are up to almost 150,000 maps being generated," he said. "The second release attracted more public interest but also more interest from federal agencies, states and universities."
Hostetler said planners are using the tool in order to plan adaptation and mitigation strategies in their jurisdictions. "Also, we do know universities are using it for teaching," he said. "It's an added way for people to look at climate change."
And the USGS itself is using the viewer and its underlying data for research. "We're starting to use the data for research," Hostetler said. "That's what we intended to do from the beginning."

Vice President Gore said that Manhattan would be under water by 2010. The DoD 2003 report said that regional disasters would be happening by 2010. But note their interesting caveat "but caution that the scenario depicted is extreme in two fundamental ways. First, they suggest the occurrences we outline would most likely happen in a few regions, rather than on globally. Second, they say the magnitude of the event may be considerably smaller." In other words, no matter what happens, they can claim that they were right AND they can continue to blame it on man-made causes. How can you successfully argue with that kind of approach. All regional weather disasters are caused by global warming and all moderate weather is just natural variation.
We have had 15 or 17 years of more or less level temperatures depending on whether you start the year before or the year after the super El Nino year of 1998. I would pick the 15 year number just for debate sake. This level temperature period occurred during a 15 year continued rise in CO2 levels. Similarly, during the "Coming Ice Age" period of the 1960s and 1970s, CO2 was rising. There is a rule in statistics, "correlation is not a proof of causation but lack of correlation is a proof of lack of causation." We have one period with negative correlation, one period with positive correlation and one period with zero correlation. I will let you draw your conclusions.
Scribe with a Stylus
You are so right DH.... This is just the latest in the arsenal of the AGW fraudsters, to keep the fraud going, and more importantly, to further deceive the public; following the old Nazi/socialist doctine of "repeat the lie often enough and it becomes the truth". Hard to fight this fraud, when the corruption and deceit are so nearing universal presence.
"the climate change models that are applied come from IPCC's (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Fifth Assessment Report."In other words, it's a bogus prediction designed to frighten you with junk science based on models that still fail to "predict" the last 15 years. Okay.

Henry Okah: South African court convicts Nigeria rebel
A South African court has found Nigerian militant Henry Okah guilty of masterminding the 2010 car bombing which killed 12 people.
Okah was convicted of 13 counts related to acts of terrorism.
He was arrested in Johannesburg a day after two car bombs exploded during the 50th anniversary of Nigeria's independence.
He had denied the charges and militant group Mend said it had carried out the attack.
Okah has always denied being Mend's leader.
Johannesburg High Court Judge Neels Claassen convicted Okah on charges ranging from conspiracy to commit terrorism to detonating explosives.
"I have come to the conclusion that the state proved beyond reasonable doubt the guilt of the accused," Judge Claassen said, AFP news agency reports.
Prosecutor Shaun Abrahams told AP news agency that Okah faced life in prison.
South Africa worked closely with foreign law enforcement agencies "to make sure justice is done in Africa," he said.
"This [conviction] is clearly indicative that South Africa cannot be seen as a safe haven for international terrorists," Mr Abrahams said.
Okah was arrested on gun-running charges in Angola in 2007 and then transferred to Nigeria but never convicted.
He was released after two years under an amnesty for oil militants and he returned to South Africa, where he had lived since 2003.
Mend says it is fighting so that more of Nigeria's massive oil wealth is used to benefit the Niger Delta area which produces the oil.
But criminal gangs have taken advantage of the region's instability to make money from ransoms paid by oil companies, and by stealing oil.
The violence subsided significantly after the government offered militants an amnesty in 2009.
At its peak, the instability in the Niger Delta cost Nigeria about $1bn (£630m) in lost revenue, Reuters news agency quotes the central bank as saying.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer, but most of its people live in poverty.

Electronic Medicare Crossover Claim Payment Issue
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK) is experiencing an internal system issue related to electronic Medicare Crossover claims and the delivery of payment.
A discrepancy is occurring when electronic Medicare claims cross over to BCBSOK and the provider is not found on our internal provider file. Once the Secondary claim is finalized, the payment is being sent to the Billing Provider Address (which was provided on the Medicare claim), rather than the Pay-To-Address, which is the preferred destination.
BCBSOK is working to resolve the above issue as quickly and possible. At this time, and to avoid future delays, we are requesting that you verify the address information with your Medicare carrier. When billing BCBSOK, it is imperative to use the same address information that was used when billing Medicare.
We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused your practice. If you have any questions regarding this notification, please contact our Electronic Commerce Center at (800) 746-4614 for assistance.

Hit to Read More
In any room that's tight on space, it's tempting to push all big furniture up against the walls to create a kind of pool of open flooring in the middle. But while useful for doing cartwheels—and there is some real liberation in being able to do just that—the space would be put to better use serving a function.
When it comes to living rooms, don't settle for so-so. It doesn't take a lot of money to create a fabulous space. You will probably spend much of your hours at home in this space, so make it fabulous without spending a fortune.

Saints to face Saints
St Johnstone earned the right to face St Mirren in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup by beating Cowdenbeath 3-0.
The First Division side held Steve Lomas' men at bay for 45 minutes but the Perth outfit slowly eroded their hosts' resolve after the break.
David McCracken stole in to open the scoring in the 54th minute and the Blue Brazil soon contrived to offer the Clydesdale Bank Premier League side a second goal.
Steven MacLean obliged from the penalty spot when Thomas Flynn fouled Murray Davidson in the 76th minute, before Gregory Tade ensured the Saints' safe passage to Paisley with a close-range finish three minutes from time.
Hamilton will play Dunfermline in the last 16 after overcoming fellow First Division outfit Dumbarton 3-1 at the Bet Butler Stadium.
Alister Crawford put the visitors ahead with a stunning effort in the 24th minute, before Michael Devlin doubled Hamilton's advantage four minutes before the break.
Dumbarton's players rallied after the interval, though, setting up Chris Turner to head home from close range in the 57th minute, but Accies substitute Grant Gillespie struck from deep inside the penalty area with 75 minutes on the clock.
The Sons' chances of success suffered a further setback when Turner saw red three minutes later and Hamilton progressed to the next round.
Peter Weatherson scored a hat-trick as Morton earned a trip to Dundee with a resounding 6-0 win over Highland Football League hopefuls Turriff United.
It took 37 minutes for Morton to open the scoring through Weatherson but the First Division outfit would not look back.
Michael Tidser registered his first goal from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time following Ross Anderson's foul, adding a second from long range in the 63rd minute.
Morton were out of sight when substitute Peter MacDonald found the back of the net in the 77th minute, Weatherson quickly laying claim to the matchball with two goals in the last ten minutes.

Collecting Tattoo Skin
Today, I came across Gemma Angel's blog post "The Tattoo Collectors: Film & Fiction," a fantastic piece on the macabre theme of flayed tattoo skin as collected art in literature and movies. Gemma is a tattooist and PhD student, who studies the preserved tattoo skins of the Wellcome Collection, a London museum that houses an array of medial artifacts. So she's my go-to source for the history and culture surrounding the post-mortem preservation of tattoos, which she explores throughout her fantastic blog Life and Six Months. [We've written about Gemma's work before here.]
In The Tattoo Collectors post, she particularly focuses on Roald Dahl's Skin and the German film Tattoo by Robert Schwentke. She offers these thoughts on both works:
It is interesting to note that both Schwentke's film and Dahl's story locate the preserved tattoo within the sphere of the art world - both treat the tattooist as 'great artists' in their own right, whether he be a painter or Japanese tattoo master. The value of the work is considered to be far greater once the artist/tattooist is dead. And both narratives identify the collector of tattooed human skin as fine art collectors who possess a cultured appreciation of the tattoo. Despite this, Dahl and Schwentke's collectors look down upon the tattooed themselves, occupying a more privileged class position.Gemma also discusses the very real practice of tattoo preservation, most notably the collection at the Medical Pathology Museum of Tokyo University, and she even offers an interesting anecdote about "the fetishistic tattoo collecting practices of Ilse Koch, the wife of commandant Karl-Otto Koch at the Buchenwald and Majdanek concentration camps."
The whole post is a great read. Check it.

To pee or not to pee (in public)—that is the question. At yet another T-ball practice last week, a young dad took his four-year-old to the nearest bush and dropped his pants so he could pee. His wife was also there, but she stayed back with the other parents watching her older son play ball.
Now, this may not sound like a big deal to you, but it was to me—because the bathroom was within eyesight, a mere 30 or so yards away. Would it have been that hard to walk the little guy to the restroom and let him tinkle privately?
I am the mother of a boy about to turn 7, and I have never been in a situation where I've had to let Javier pee in public—not that I wouldn't if I had to. I believe there are times when you truly might have no other choice, like if you're on a highway and the next rest stop isn't for another 30 miles. But we weren't on a highway, and the bathroom was—literally—within walking distance.
PLUS: Kids Peeing in the Grass: No Biggie, or Big No No?
A couple of years ago I was at a McDonald's drive-thru and the line was so long, the mom in the car in front of me scooted out with her son and let him pee in the bushes near the passenger side of my car. She didn't want to lose her place in line, and I guess parking and taking him inside to the bathroom was just too time-consuming. I shook my head in confusion then, too.
Seriously, I understand all too well about emergencies. I had one at a mall once. Javier had a massive, unexpected blowout and my mom had to leave me in the bathroom alongside him and his too-dirty-to-put-back-on pants, so she could buy a clean pair of shorts. It turned out to be the most expensive pair he ever wore—$45—because the nearest restroom happened to be at Bloomingdale's. OK, fine, that wasn't in public, per se, but the $45 shorts, the stench in the fancy bathroom at Bloomie's and the panic that swept over me as I tried to figure out an action plan was no less dramatic —should I toss them out here and leave the stench behind, or walk through the store and toss this mess in a garbage can outside?
PLUS: How to Handle Awkward Mom Moments
Nonetheless, I'm not talking about cases of extreme emergencies, folks. I'm talking about times when it's just not necessary. Here's what I worry about:
1. I don't like the message that peeing in public sends about public nudity at a time when I'm constantly reminding Javier that his private parts are just that, private. They are not meant for anyone but mom, dad, and the doctor to see nor touch. The time to lay the foundation for how he thinks about his body is now. I want him to respect it as well as demand respect for it.
2. There are hygiene issues. People frolic and picnic right next to some of these areas. Think of it this way: There are laws about cleaning up a dog's poop at most public parks, shouldn't it be obvious that humans doing anything even remotely similar should also be frowned upon? Just so you know, public urination is against the law in some states. If you don't believe me, ask the Philly mom who was recently cited $50 for letting her two-year-old pee on a patch of grass.
3. It's kinda gross. No one likes to watch another person pee or poop, not even a loved one, so why a bunch of strangers? I realize this one mostly applies to crowded areas where folks can see what you're doing, but still. Remember the Sex and the City episode where Carrie's politician beau wanted her to pee on him? The tolerance for this is pretty rare.
4. Consider the gender factor. Rarely do you see a mom or dad asking a little girl to squat down behind the hedges. So why is there a residual tolerance for little boys doing it? If we trace history to the time when doing this in public was perfectly normal, I'm sure we'll all find it was long before public restrooms were invented. I'm sure the cavemen would have loved themselves a port-a-potty, had they had a choice.
5. Finally, and perhaps most important, we live in the era of Smartphones, when every Moe, Dick and Harry has a camera and video at his or her fingertips. The last thing anyone wants is a visual of their kid peeing in the park or sitting on a potty going viral, like it did for a mom in Utah—or worse, ending up the object of some sicko's affection.
PLUS: The Sport I'm Not Sure I'd Let My Son Play
I know parenting is a messy, hectic, contact sport that often requires you to think on your feet and bend the rules. Some would argue that a public, messy accident is much worse than a little incognito urination. I totally agree there are times when this is simply not avoidable, but I firmly believe that the vast majority of the time, it most certainly is. If you don't believe me, ask Kate Middleton. She recently filed a lawsuit against a magazine for printing topless photos of her sunbathing.
What's your take? Is letting kids pee in public OK with you?

Utah Jazz re-assign Ian Clark and Rudy Gobert to D-LeaguePosted by Inside Hoops
Jan 4
The Utah Jazz announced today that the team has assigned rookie guard Ian Clark and rookie center Rudy Gobert to its NBA Development League (D-League) affiliate, the Bakersfield Jam. Both are expected to be in uniform for the Jam's game Saturday at the Los Angeles D-Fenders.
This will be the second assignment this season for both Clark and Gobert, who were previously assigned to Bakersfield from December 14-21. In three games (all starts) with the Jam, Clark averaged 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 35.1 minutes. Gobert also appeared in three games (all starts) and averaged 14.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and 4.3 blocks while shooting .750 (15-20) from the field in 30.8 minutes.
A 6-3, 173-pound guard out of Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., Clark was named 2013 NBA Summer League Championship Game Most Valuable Player and was signed by the Jazz as an undrafted rookie free agent on July 29. The 22-year-old has appeared in eight games as a reserve for the Jazz, averaging 2.8 points in 8.8 minutes.
Gobert, a 7-1, 245-pound center, was a 2013 first-round draft pick (27th overall) whose rights the Jazz acquired in a draft-night trade with Denver that sent the Nuggets the rights to the 46th overall pick and cash considerations. The 21-year-old native of Saint Quentin, France, has made 17 appearances for the Jazz in a reserve role, averaging 2.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.82 blocks in 10.7 minutes.
Clark and Gobert were the seventh and eighth different players in Jazz history to be assigned to the D-League. Other players on the current Jazz roster with D-League experience include Jeremy Evans, Diante Garrett, Mike Harris and John Lucas III.

June 02, 2011
Professor Kusiel Solomonovich Shifrin, an OSA Fellow noted for his contributions to atmospheric and ocean optics, died on 2 June 2011 in Albany, Oregon, USA, just one month before his 93rd birthday.
Dr. Shifrin was born in Mstislavl, Belarus, and graduated from Leningrad State University in 1940 with degrees from both the Department of Physics and the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics. He received his candidate's degree (equivalent to a Ph.D.) from the Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute in 1943 and a D.Sc in 1951.
Between 1943 and 1946, Shifrin served with the. A.F. Mozhaysky Air Forces Academy and then taught physics at the Kazan Aviation Institute. In 1946, he was named head of the Atmospheric Optics Laboratory of the A. I. Voyeykov Main Geophysical Observatory, a position he held for 20 years. Beginning in 1969, Shifrin served as Head of the Oceanic Optics Department, Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1992, he came to the United States as a Research Professor at Oregon State University, where he remained until 2003.
Shifrin is known as a creator of the semiconductor theory, which he began working on as early as 1943. This theory enabled scientists to predict and, for the first time, to explain a number of effects determining semiconductor techniques, performance and development.
A leader in atmospheric and ocean optics, Shifrin contributed to our understanding of the scattering of light (direct and inverse) by regularly and randomly shaped particles. He developed the widely used microwave radiometric method and published more than 400 scientific works, including two classic monographs, Scattering of Light in Turbid Medium and Introduction to Ocean Optics.
In 1973, Shifrin organized the Working Group on Ocean Optics (WGOO) at the Commission for the Problems of the World Ocean, USSR Academy of Science. He led the group for twenty years. He also taught at various universities in in Leningrad, Moscow and Kazan, Russia.
Shifrin was named an OSA Fellow in 1995.
Kusiel Shifrin was highly respected by his colleagues and students. In a tribute, they remembered him as a man who was "deeply honest, of rare modesty, very kind, benevolent and charming. He always radiated cordiality and readiness to be of help to anybody who turned to him. Fond memories of Kusiel Shifrin will forever be in the hearts of everybody who was lucky to be in touch with this brilliant scientist, outstanding teacher and wonderful man."
If you would like to make a donation to the OSA Foundation in memory of Dr. Shifrin, please visit www.osa-foundation.org/give.
This obituary was contributed by Kusiel Shifrin's colleagues, friends and disciples.

Transfer Credit
The Washington University School of Law only reviews transfer applications for fall semester admission. Qualified transfer applicants (as determined by the admissions committee) who have completed one year at an ABA-accredited law school are admitted to the second year class on a space available basis. The School of Law will accept for transfer a maximum of 30 semester hours earned at a student's previous institution (the number of semester hours earned by our first-year day students). A minimum of 22 credits is required for transfer. Credit is not usually granted for law school courses beyond the first year. The School of Law will accept the credit hours from other ABA accredited law schools as described above but not the associated grades.
Credits for courses completed at another approved law school are evaluated on an individual basis for possible transfer into the School of Law by the Associate Dean of Student Services. Only courses completed with a grade of C or better are transferable. No course completed at another institution in which a grade of less than C was earned will be taken into account in calculating residence credit. The School of Law makes no claim or guarantee that credit earned will transfer to another institution.
Articulation Agreements
The School of Law currently does not have specific articulation agreements with any other law schools.
Transfer Eligibility for Law School Honors and Awards
The cumulative GPA earned at the School of Law will serve as the basis of eligibility for all School of Law awards and honors.

Camino BookmarksApril 25, 2007
Here's one for Google. If you use Camino to browse, and more relevantly if you store important bookmarks in Camino, you might want to know about a nasty little bug that could pop up sooner or later.
Camino appears to have a problem with its bookmarks file format. It saves out your entire list of bookmarks as an XML file,
bookmarks.plist, and there's a bug that causes this file to become corrupt, which looks like this:
After you hit the OK button, all your bookmarks — whether in the main menu or the bookmark bar — disappear from the browser.
All's not lost though. Camino attempts to save the file as
bookmarks-corrupted.plist, which is located in
~/Library/Application Support/Camino/ (where
~ is your user directory). This file should contain what you lost, just in a format that Camino can't read anymore.
It appears that Camino saves out this file every time you close the browser. Whatever the cause of the bug is, the result is that it saves this file as non-well-formed XML. Your bookmark data is intact, but the XML isn't valid, so Camino chokes on it and throws up an error.
There are two options at this point. One, you can debug the XML. Two, you can use the URLs within this file to manually reconstruct your bookmark list (though presumably you'll be smart enough to do this in another browser or on delicious, if you go this route).
I ended up debugging the XML. Through trial and error (deleting large swaths of bookmarks at a time, loading Camino to see if I got the error or not, and a lot of restoring the corrupted file) I was able to pinpoint two or three locations where the XML was invalid. In one case, the angle brackets were reversed. Instead of seeing this:
I noticed the first right-facing bracket was reversed:
In the second case I wasn't patient enough to track down the specific error, so I just deleted the 10 or so bookmarks that were causing the problem and reconstructed them manually.
The main take-away from this experience is that Camino users ought to back up their bookmarks on a regular basis, or store them in another browser until this bug is fixed.
The main take-away from this experience is that <del>Camino</del> users ought to back up their bookmarks on a regular basis.
Fixed for yah!
I don't understand why Camino doesn't store its bookmarks in a html-file like the other gecko-browsers do.
This would even make it possible to sync bookmarks between Firefox and Camino.
A third solution for Camino users: store the bookmarks on a social bookmarking service, eventually marking them as "private".
@Brutal: I think it's possible to share bookmarks also between HTML and XML, you just need to re-elaborate the XML.
There is a handy little script http://pimpmycamino.com/parts/caminicious that allows you to post to a Del.icio.us account from Camino. You still have to manually refresh the list, but at least this way they're stored outside the browser.
@Brutal: What's wrong with XML? Honestly, I think it makes much more sense to store bookmarks in an XML file rather than an HTML file - custom tags allow for easier parsing.
@Brutal: What other browsers need to do is get with XML. All online data is moving towards XML, and even some offline data. It would make sense for a browser to store bookmarks in an XML file.
I faced similar problems with Camino, but never bothered to look into it. But thanks for the excellent suggestions.
I hope in Firefox they won't screw up the bookmark format for the sake of change. The good old HTML that just works. I have the same Netscape bookmark file since Oct. 1996, now it has 2400 bookmarks and works with the latest Firefox and the Google Browser sync.
hmm in my last post i wrote about the new release of camino and that the bug is fixed, but the post is deleted. is that spam to give a hint on the fixed problem?
That's a shame. I don't know how long I have been using Camino, certainly well over a year, as my main browser and the issue that I have brought up here has been my first real problem.
Kula, that is the case now, but the next major Firefox release is [again] planning to move from their current model for bookmarks to what they're naming "Places" which stores bookmarks, history, etc in a local sqlite DB and abandons the HTML format
I don't use Camino myself, but I think that using XML to store bookmarks and other data is just fine –better, IMHO, than HTML, or even worse: some proprietary format!
Of course, storing bookmarks in XML is worse, because it is less convenient to view them.
How do you edit the xml file? Doesnt seem to be plaintext.

Some security experts are urging individual and enterprise users running Internet Explorer to switch to another browser for now, in the face of a new zero-day exploit affecting IE.
Security researcher and blogger Eric Romang discovered a new zero-day exploit over the weekend that targets multiple versions of IE, which runs on about 40 percent of the computers in North America.
Microsoft, in an advisory, said the vulnerability affects Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 and 9 (but not IE 10) running on just about any Windows operating system. But the company noted that on Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2, the browser runs in a restricted configuration that mitigates the vulnerability.

Time to give up on Java?
Not surprisingly, Microsoft does not recommend switching from IE. It recommends installing the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, a limited support utility that helps prevent exploitation of vulnerabilities but which is available only in English. It also recommends setting Internet security settings to high to block ActiveX controls and Active Scripting. A full patch is expected sometime in the next week.
Meanwhile, some in the security community are recommending that users abandon the popular IE browser, at least until a fix is available.
"Internet users are strongly advised to switch to other browsers, such as Chrome or Firefox, until a security update becomes available," recommended Metasploit, developer of the open-source penetration testing tool. "The exploit had already been used by malicious attackers in the wild before it was published."
The exploit can download the code to a vulnerable computer visiting a malicious Web site.
The news comes just weeks after a zero-day exploit for Java 7 hosted on the same server raised the question of whether the risks of running Java outweighed the benefits. Oracle addressed that vulnerability with an unusual out-of-cycle patch, but the popularity of Java with hackers and its ubiquity in browsers had many in the security community recommending that it be at least turned off in the browser, if not removed from computers.
The Java flaw was being exploited by a hacker group apparently based in China, which Symantec had dubbed the Nitro gang, that in 2011 had attacked systems in the chemical industry and some defense contractors, researchers said. Romang said the IE exploits were possibly from the same group.
So is it time to get rid of Internet Explorer? There are those who have long advocated for other, supposedly more secure, browsers who undoubtedly will say yes. Microsoft still has a commanding market share, with IE 9 claiming a quarter of the North American market as of August, and IE 8 about another 14 percent. But Chrome has a strong 21 percent and Firefox comes in with about 14 percent, according to StatCounter global stats.
As long as Microsoft continues to lead the browser market, IE is likely to be a popular target for attackers. For the short term, dropping IE might make sense for you, as long as it isn't more trouble to replace browsers in your enterprise than it is to patch them. But you never know for sure just how secure a commercial product is until it has been subjected to a trial by fire, and if other browsers replace IE, they are likely to feel the heat.

The German government's Federal Office for Information Security urges public to stop using Internet Explorer.
It issued the warning as a researcher said he found evidence that suggests the hackers who exploited the flaw were seeking to attack defense contractors.

It is not only time to switch the browser, its time to get rid of all MS-Products - at least for government-agencies!
This last IE-flaw is no flaw - it is a well developed back-door!!
Dave Marcus, Director of advanced research and threat intelligence with Intel Corp's McAfee security division, said it might be a daunting task for home users to locate, download and install the EMET tool.
"For consumers it might be easier to simply click on Chrome," Marcus said.
Internet Explorer was the world's second-most widely used browser last month, with about 33 percent market share, according to StatCounter. It was close behind Google Inc's Chrome browser, which had 34 percent of the market.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Making its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Final Four, No. 3 MIT will take on the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in the national semifinals on Friday, March 16 at 8:00 p.m. With a win, the Engineers would advance to the NCAA championship game on Saturday, March 17 at 7:00 p.m., to face the winner of Friday's first semifinal between Cabrini College and Illinois Wesleyan University. The Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) will serve as the host for the Final Four and all three games will be played at the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Va.
The NCAA will offer live streaming video and live statistics for all three games this weekend. To access both the video stream and live statistics, fans should visit http://www.ncaa.com/news/ncaa/article/2012-03-03/winter-championship-multimedia.
The Cardinal and Gray punched its ticket to Salem with a 69-54 win over Franklin & Marshall College in the sectional final. The Engineers defeated the College of Staten Island, 83-67, in the third round. Tech advanced through to the sectionals by beating Skidmore College, 62-55, and Farmingdale State University, 83-63, in the opening two rounds of the national tournament.
The Engineers held Franklin & Marshall to its lowest output of the season while making nine-of-16 shots from behind the arc to knock off the host Diplomats. Against Staten Island, junior Mitchell Kates (Colts Neck, N.J.) led all scorers with 29 points while senior Jamie Karraker (Morgantown, W.Va.) hit seven-of-10 three's en route to 25 points.
Senior Noel Hollingsworth (Salt Lake City, Utah) exploded for 37 points and MIT never trailed during its blowout win over Farmingdale State to advance to the Sweet 16. In the opening round against Skidmore, Kates came up two assists shy of a triple-double, finishing with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
Wisconsin-Whitewater is led by senior forward Chris David (Madison, Wis.), who averages 22.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, and was recently named the Division III West Regional Player of the Year. The Warhawks (27-4), ranked No. 8 in the D3Hoops Top 25, average 72.0 points per game and are the second most efficient shooting team in the nation, connecting at a rate of 51.4% from the field. UW-Whitewater advanced to the national semifinals with wins over Northwestern (Minn.), St. Thomas, Wheaton (Ill.) and Virginia Wesleyan.
The No. 5 ranked Cabrini College Cavaliers have the most wins of any team in Division III at 30-1 and ride a 21-game winning streak into the Final Four. Senior Cory Lemons (Wilmington, Del.) leads Cabrini in scoring at 17.7 points per game and is sixth in the NCAA in assists with 6.5 a contest. Cabrini defeated a pair of New England opponents during its run to the semifinals, Castleton State (104-87) and Eastern Connecticut State (72-65).
The lone unranked team in the Final Four, Illinois Wesley (23-7) is making its fifth appearance in the national semifinals. The Titans captured the NCAA championship in 1997 and have made 21 appearances in the Division III tournament in the program's 29 years of NCAA affiliation. Jordan Zimmer (Delavan, Ill.) and Victor Davis (Galesburg, Ill.) score in double figures for the Illinois Wesleyan, averaging 15.5 and 10.8 points per game, respectively.

One reason John McAfee moved to Belize was his view of American wealth.
The tech tycoon, who all but invented the computer security industry with his anti-virus software and is now on the run in Belize after being sought for questioning in a murder, moved to the tiny Central American country to escape what he saw as an over-materialistic and over-regulated culture of wealth in America.
It all started in the mid-2000s, when his tech fortune topped $100 million.

What are museums doing on Twitter?
Twitter is being increasingly used by museums as a way to engage audiences and a marketing tool.
Here's a list of museums that are on Twitter via Jim Richardson's Musuem Marketing blog. Note that it is US and UK heavy as it is listed by numbers of followers. The commentary is also interesting.
There is a detailed discussion about Twitter as a business tool on Museum 3.0 - the museum sector's online networking community. We trialled Twitter as part of the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes, so follow us and see what the fuss is all about.

Microsoft rolled out its big guns, including CEO Steve Ballmer and Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie, to underscore its commitment to the set of new interoperability principles announced Feb. 21 that are designed to increase the openness of its high-volume products and drive greater interoperability. In fact, Microsoft's long-term success depends on its ability to deliver a software and services platform that is open and flexible and provides customers and developers with choice, Ballmer said during a media teleconference. The EU is skeptical on Microsoft's pledges, according to Ars.

The Wall Street Journal calls out Ohio Gov. John Kasich for one of those truth-stretching (but understandable) statements politicians make, though it offers hope that he might eventually be proved right. From the Political Diary post: "I think Ohio can be the best state in the country and that's not political puff." So boasted Buckeye Gov. John Kasich at the Hamilton County Republican Party annual Lincoln-Reagan dinner this week. "Young people like Cincinnati," he added. "It's a cool, happening place." Uh huh, and that's why new Census Bureau data show that last year Cincinnati was the 10th slowest-growing metro in the country, among those with populations greater than one million. The biggest population loser? Cleveland. Mr. Kasich can hardly be faulted for playing up a bad hand that he in large part inherited. Ohio's big cities have been shrinking for the past two decades. But then again, so have a lot of cities in the Rust Belt and New England, including Detroit and Providence, R.I. But there's hope for Ohio, The Journal says, as "fracking in the Marcellus and Utica shale deposits could help reverse the population decline in many of its cities." A new Census report, The Journal adds, "says that an oil and gas boom has revived growth in many regions of the Great Plains after decades of out-migration," and Ohio could follow that pattern if all goes well. Meanwhile, "40 of the 50 fastest-growing metros last year were in the hydrocarbon-rich South and West," according to the newspaper. Only one was in the Northeast.
More proof that Ohio isn't exactly a growth state
Change at the top: Kenyon College, the liberal arts school in Gambier, announced it has named an Oberlin College dean as its next president, effective July 1. Sean Decatur, 44, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Oberlin, will replace S. Georgia Nugent, who is stepping down after a decade as president. Dr. Decatur will be Kenyon's first black president. He holds a bachelor's degree from Swarthmore College and a doctorate in biophysical chemistry from Stanford University. He said in a statement, "I am honored and enthused to accept the presidency of Kenyon College, an institution that I have admired for some time. Kenyon is among those colleges that form a powerful crucible for the transformation of students. Kenyon is committed to both academic rigor and social engagement and brings together a faculty of outstanding teacher-scholars and a talented, diverse, and active student body." In a statement, Oberlin president Marvin Krislov said, "We're very sad to see him go. It's a great choice for Kenyon. When I and the search committee brought him to Oberlin we recognized him as an incredible talent and a thoughtful person and a leader who has been outstanding in every respect. Quite a performance: The Wall Street Journal weekend coverage of significant cultural events nationwide suggested readers check out a show that just opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland. In "Kate Gilmore: Body of Work," which runs through June 9, the performance artist "has her first solo museum show," the newspaper notes. Videos include the 2005 "With Open Arms." Also on view: "relics of a new piece in which she dropped paint-filled vases and pots from a tower." Give Slim Peace a chance: A nonprofit operating near Boston that brings Israeli and Palestinian women together around a universal theme — weight-loss support — wants to make Cleveland one of its next destinations. The New York Times profiles the organization, known as Slim Peace. Here's how the story describes it: Yael Luttwak, a documentary filmmaker, founded the first group during the second Palestinian uprising, more than a decade ago, hitting upon a formula of using women struggling with their weight as a tool for Israeli and Palestinian connection. She was in a Weight Watchers group in Tel Aviv and wondered if the leaders at the time, Ariel Sharon, Israel's prime minister, and Yasir Arafat, the Palestinian Authority president, might be more likely to talk peace if they tried to lose weight together. When Ms. Luttwak, who made a documentary film about the first Slim Peace group, visited American Jewish communities to talk about her work, they told her they had problems in their own communities with anti-Muslim sentiment and anti-Israel sentiment, and it occurred to her that the Slim Peace model could be brought here. After a talk and screening of her film in Boston, she was approached by Emma Samuels, who said that she would like to help start such a group here and that she had just the partner to run it with: Aminah Herzig, a close friend and fellow dietitian who is Muslim. They now lead the Boston group, facilitating conversations on healthy eating and cultural differences. The newspaper reports that the plan "is to expand Slim Peace to four other American cities — Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Washington — all of which have significant Muslim and Jewish populations." Groups are open to members of other faiths; in Detroit, for example, the organization will be reaching out to the city's large Arab-American Christian community.

§ 5. Latimers directness, story-telling and denunciation of social wrongs.
No complete sermons of Latimers Cambridge days have survived. In the
Sermons on the Card
we have only the tenor and effect of certain sermons made by Master Latimer in Cambridge about the year of our Lord 1529. They are justly famous for their originality and promise and for their outspoken denunciation. But they do not compare, at least in the form in which they have come down to us, with the sermons which he delivered before king Edward VI twenty years later. Of the intervening period, there remain only two sermons: a short one preached at the time of the insurrection of the north, and the convocation sermon delivered in 1536, just after he had become bishop of Worcester. The latter shows a great advance on the Card sermons, and, in consideration of the occasion, was probably composed with greater care than any other sermon which we have. It contains the fine contrast between dead images, covered with gold and clad with silk garments, and Christs faithful and lively images an hungred, a-thirst, a-cold. The rest of Latimers surviving sermons, thirty-eight in number, those upon which his true fame depends, belong to his old age. In them, he describes himself as thoroughe age, boethe weake in body and oblivious. Yet this sore brused man, as if to make up for the years of enforced idleness, since the Six Articles had driven him out of active ministry, devoted the remaining years entirely to the pulpit; he was happier there than in the bishops throne, and he continued all Kyng Edwardes tyme, preaching for the most part every Sunday two Sermons. He was a preacher first and last, and he achieved such popular success as came to no other English preacher till Whitefield and Wesley. Here, at least, was a ploughman who set forward his plough, and ploughed manfully with all his strength.
It is characteristic of his entire absorption in his pulpit work that even the business of publishing his sermons does not seem to have concerned him directly. Latimers sermons have a place in literature, but few books have had a less literary origin. These free and easy discourses, good talking rather than set speeches, have been written down by other hands, probably without revision by their author. We recognise unmistakably the ready speech of a debater, who can turn interruptions or unforeseen accidents to account. I came hither to day from Lambeth in a whirry, and what the wherryman said serves for an argument. If, in the course of a sermon, which he has threatened to continue for three or four hours, his hearers grow impatient and try to cough him down, he can make a joke of it at their expense. He goes backward and forward with his subject, and does not hesitate to be discursive (I will tell you now a pretty story of a friar to refresh you withal), or to say a good thing while he can remember it; peradventure it myght come here after in better place, but yet I wyll take it, whiles it commeth to my mind. Even when he has worked up to a formal peroration, and ended with a text, he breaks in with There was another suit, and I had almost forgotten it. There are repetitions, sometimes of great length, which must have been tedious even to hear. If he is pleased with a word, he will work it to death; in a Good Friday sermon he uses the word ugsome eight times. He can be plain, even to coarseness. Martin Marprelate might take a lesson from him in calling names: those flattering clawbacks, pot-gospellers, these bladder-puffed up wily men, flibberjibs, upskips, ye brain-sick fools, ye hoddy-pecks, ye doddy-pols, ye huddes. The Pharisees are represented as saying to Christ, Master, we know that thou art Tom Truth. The Father did not intervene to save the Son but suffred him to bite upon the brydle a whyle. No word or illustration is too homely for him to use. Latimer needed to have no thought for the dignity of literature or the conventions of reverence. He was not writing a book, but trying to keep the attention of a boy of eleven and a crowd of idle courtiers. Latimer the preacher cared for no great curiousness, no great clerkliness, no great affectation of words, nor of painted eloquence; he aimed only at a nipping sermon, a rough sermon, and a sharp biting sermon.
These conditions were hardly favourable to the production of literature, but Latimer did valuable service in testing the possibilities of the language. None of his predecessors ever carried the art of story-telling to a higher point. He can take the most familiar narrative in the Bible and retell it with pointed allusions to current events. During the weeks that Latimer preached first before Edward VI, the lord high admiral, lord Seymour of Sudeley, lay in the Tower under sentence of death. Latimer hated the man and did not spare him. His hearers must have recognised in an instant what was his purpose when he began telling the story of Adonijah, a man full of ambition, desirous of honour, always climbing, climbing. This stout-stomached child had Joab to help him, a by-walker, that would not walk the kings highway. And so he went on climbing till, after Davids death, he aspired to marry queen Abishag. The story, as told by Latimer, fills several pages, and yet the interest is throughout intense and dramatic, without ever a direct mention of Seymour and queen Catherine Parr.
Latimer reveals very little of the poetry and imaginative feeling which are conspicuous in Fishers writing. There is seldom any illustration from nature, or any flights of what can be called eloquence. The personification which he makes of Faitha noble duchess with her gentleman usher going before her, and a train after heris not a characteristic feature of his style; but he is seemingly pleased with it, and uses it again a few weeks later to the same audience. The allegories which had been the stock-in-trade of earlier preachers he explicitly rejects; if he wants illustration, he draws from his experience of the market-place and the court. He prefers the wherrymans good natural reason to the arguments of the whole college of cardinals. Ever since his conversation with little Bilney, he forsook the school-doctors and such fooleries. At the end of his great Lenten course, he claims that he has walked in the brode filde of scripture and used my libertie. He has no taste for theological subtleties; as for curiouse braynes nothinge can content them. There is some rough sledge-hammer controversy with papists and anabaptists, but his real bent is towards practical questions; and that is one reason why he continues to interest readers of a later day. No one to-day stands where Latimer did in doctrinal theology but bribery is still bribery. One cannot imagine a more telling point in a discourse on bribery than when the preacher said, He that took the silver basin and ewer for a bribe, thinketh that it will never come out; but he may now know that I know it.
It is his passionate desire to right social wrongs which gives Latimer his highest claim to be called a great preacher. He is never belabouring sin in the abstract but accurately diagnoses and fearlessly exposes the injustices of his time. The decay of discipline and reverence, and the wholesale spirit of greed, which accompanied the breaking up of the old order, are faithfully dealt with by the prophet of the new order. The lay landlords who have supplanted monastic landowners he calls step-lords; rent-raising, enclosures, idleness, covetousness and all the other faults of the rich are denounced to their faces: be you never so great lords and ladies, the preacher will rub you on the gall. The impoverishment of schools and universities, the corruption of judges, and the tricks of the trades are unsparingly treated, and Latimer has the preachers best reward of seeing some wrongs redressed as a result of his agitation. The poor and the oppressed have had no truer friend at court than Latimer preaching before Edward VI.
Bishop Hooper, who succeeded Latimer as court preacher, had equal courage, but less human sympathy. For his Lenten course in 1550, he chose a very suitable subject, namely the prophet Jonas, which will enable me freely to touch upon the duties of individuals. His chief aim was to urge the king to use the arm of the law against unpreaching clergy, covetous lawyers, thieves, adulterers, swearers and other offenders. The king must show no preposterous pity. The ship of the commonwealth cannot sail in quiet waters, until the mariners cast out all Jonases. Into the sea with them, cries this vehement orator. There is a native vigour about his denunciations, but he takes no pains to make his message attractive. His grammar is often faulty and his illustrations are trite: he uses the stock story of Cambyses and the judges skin, which Latimer used to the same audience the previous Lent, and which Fisher used before either of them. His humour, when he shows any, is of the broadest kind; if the newly-ordained priest according to the first reformed ordinal is to be given the chalice to hold, why do they not as well give him the font?

Keeping it Simple in the Bedroom
As we've mentioned a time or two before, though we're not opposed to color in the bedroom, we prefer to leave the zestier ones for other rooms. We like a soft, relaxing bedroom to sleep in at night. And by the looks of a few we found in Apartment Therapy house tours, we're not the only ones who treasure a little simplicity in our sleep space.
The thing about "simplicity" is it varies from person to person. This is a part of its beauty and charm. What's simple to one person, is too cluttered for another. What's calming and serene for someone, is a major bore for someone else. And so on and so on.
What we love about these eight bedrooms is the varying degrees of simplicity you find in each one and the different approaches each homeowner took to achieve it. Though you might lump all of these into a "simple" category, they all retain a remarkable amount of personality of the user and of the home. Some commonalities we see running through each room:
- Don't be afraid to leave the walls white
- If you do bring in colors on the wall, keep the hue soft
- Color's welcome, but keep it in small doses
- Bring in only the furniture you need
- Choose one or two pieces of art that really speak to you to include
- Bedding doesn't have to be a complex system of duvets, shams and more
How do you keep your bedroom simple? Or do you prefer a loud, proud and bold bedroom to sleep in? Let us know!

Jockey Quotes
JOE TALAMO, MORNING LINE, Winner: "That was fun. That's just him. He tried that (being difficult) one time with me in the morning. You have to just be patient with him. It's hard to really whip on him much because he's an old horse and he knows what he's doing. But he's so professional in the race. John (Shirreffs) has done a great job with him coming off a long layoff. I thought we'd be tracking Gladding. I really didn't think he'd be in front but he was absolutely cruising the first part. He got right to the lead and put his ears up. It made my job a lot easier. The only hard part was getting him to the gate. Once I got off him (in the post parade), he was a lot better. I ran with him for an eighth of a mile and we both kind of got warmed up. He's a runner."
JOSE VALDIVIA, JR., PRAYER FOR RELIEF, Second: "He ran big. (Assistant trainer Mike (Marlow) told he he'd been training well. He came out of the gate aggressive and he relaxed very, very well. I thought I had a chance at the eighth pole, but my hat's off to the winner. The other horse (Morning Line) is a Grade 1 winner so no shame getting beat by him."
ALONZO QUINONEZ, KETTLE CORN, Third: "We saved all the ground and he was game at the end but those other two got the jump on me and there wasn't anything else I could do."
Trainer Quotes
JOHN SHIRREFFS, MORNING LINE, Winner: "I'm just so happy they (gate crew) were so patient with him. They did a great job getting him back to the gate. You remember Tiznow; Chris McCarron, Jay Robbins and all the trouble they had breezing him in the morning." Asked about whether Morning Line gave him the same problems in the morning; "Somedays yes, somedays no. Like all Thoroughbred horses, you just have to find a way to get along with them. It just threw a new little wrinkle into his training pattern. When I saw Joe (Talamo) just getting a little higher on him going to the three-eighths, you could see he was taking a good breather just then. You can see from his past races that when horses come to him, he really fights. He's a very classy horse. I hope to run in the ($150,000, Grade II ) Californian (June 2) next. We'd like to run in the entire series here (which concludes with the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup July 7).''
MIKE MARLOW, PRAYER FOR RELIEF, Second: "He ran really well. I'm very happy with that. In the middle of the turn, it looked like he was going nowhere. But he just kept digging in and coming on."

A poll released Saturday by CBS and the New York Times indicates that just 53 percent of American adults support military women serving in combat roles. The poll also found 83 percent support women serving in support roles for ground troops, according to CBS. The United States currently restricts women from direct combat roles in infantry positions or in the Special Forces.
The poll also found a number of ideological and demographic factors to be influential. In general, Democrats, liberals, moderates, and independents favor women serving in combat roles while Republican and conservatives oppose it. Age is also a factor: 62 percent of women respondents younger than 45 support lifting the combat restriction, while only 44 percent of women respondents older than 45 support removing the ban. Overall, only 37 percent of respondents older than 65 support lifting the restriction.
Despite official military policy, women's participation in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq has increasingly included direct combat. In contemporary warfare, there are no front lines. Retired Army Colonel Peter Mansoor, who served under General Petraeus while he led forces in Iraq, told the New York Times, "Iraq has advanced the cause of full integration for women in the Army by leaps and bounds...[women] have earned the confidence and respect of male colleagues."
The CBS/New York Times poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.0 points and was conducted with a random sample of 1,050 adults nationwide over the telephone between July 24th and 28th.
