Water On The Moon? When Do We Move?
In the United States we are blessed to have fresh water that meets many of our needs. If we want to continue to enjoy all the benefits of that water, we have no choice but to take steps to protect and properly treat it. Otherwise we can keep our heads in the sand and wait for someone else to fix the problem. But hey, there's water on the moon, right? I'll start packing.

BEIJING -- A prolonged spell of air pollution across a large area of China has led to the cancellation of flights and sporting activities and the closure of highways, factories and construction sites.
From Beijing to Guiyang, 1,400 miles to the southwest, the thick soup of pollution led the Chinese government to urge people to "avoid outdoor activities," and Beijing education authorities to cancel school gym classes.
As an emergency measure, the Beijing Environmental Protection Ministry announced Sunday that factories and construction sites had agreed to reduce or stop work entirely until the air cleared up.
The U.S. embassy in Beijing on Saturday night recorded fine particulate matter at 886 micrograms per cubic meter, the highest since monitoring began in 2007. The air quality index ranking of 755 was also far off the charts, which consider 300 to 500 to be "hazardous." While in the past the Chinese government has criticized the embassy for scaremongering, their own monitors over the weekend gave readings that were also dire, showing pollution as hazardous in 33 cities.

Welcome New Students!
The Office of Student Services (located on the north side of the third floor in Suite 310) can help you with a wide range of issues, including academic counseling (e.g., helping with course selection after your first year, assisting with studying, outlining, and exam-taking skills, and information about academic programs and regulations); accommodations available to students with disabilities; information about the CTA's U-Pass program (which provides passes to all full-time students for unlimited rides on CTA trains and busses); questions about student health insurance; information about health and counseling resources available on Main Campus (many of which are available free of charge to students); and information about the Academic Support Program.
Faculty Advisor Program for First-Year Students
Orientation is over and the reality of life as a law student is no doubt finally sinking in. Life as a first-year law student can be both exhilarating and exhausting. In an attempt to help you negotiate the ups and downs of the first year of law school, many of the full-time faculty have agreed to serve as advisors for first-year students. A faculty advisor can help you with your approach to studying, thinking about career options, course selection for your second year, and other law school matters that may interest or concern you.
This is entirely a voluntary program on the part of both faculty and students - many of you may already feel comfortable with the nature and demands of law school and have no interest in a faculty advisor. But if you are interested in having a faculty advisor, click here and fill out the online form (the deadline for signing up is Wednesday, September 8, 2010). Each faculty is limited to only a handful of students, so if you have a preference we can't guarantee you will get your first pick. If you end up being assigned to a faculty member other than one you specified, someone will be in touch with you to make sure the match is acceptable to you before it is finalized.

We will be sending invitations to selected students before the start of the regular semester to join these sessions. If you do not receive an invitation and would like to petition to join them, click here for the petition form, which is due to me no later than Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Information about the program and study resources is available on the ASP web site.

Summer is here...and it sucks.
I usually do not spend a lot of time in the kitchen...honestly in the past year..i have hardly been spending time in the kitchen on account of my weird eating habits and jeeves travelling..but summer gives me an excuse not to go and vent when i am in there.
This lentil salad is super easy and can be eaten warm, cold or wrapped up in pitas or rotis for a quick and easy meal.
brown lentils -1.5 cups dry. Soak it in water for about 2 hours (can omit this step, but it helps in cooking faster)
vegetables - 2 cups (i used mushrooms- 3 cups, as they shrink, carrots and peas - 1 cup)
onions - 1 large, diced
garlic - 4 pods, 3 sliced thin and 1 crushed
salt - to taste
fresh ground pepper - 6 twists
red chilly flakes - 1 tbls.
oil - 1 tbls (i.e - 3 tsp. of oil)
rosemary - 2 tsp. (dry, use more if fresh)
1. Cook the lentils in water with reqd. salt and the crushed garlic. The lentils should be completely cooked but not turn mushy. Usually you have to be really abusive to the brown lentil to render it to a mush ;)
2. In a non-stick pan,add 2 tsp. of oil (reserve the 1 tsp. for later), add the onions and garlic and saute till soft. Now add the peas and carrots (i used frozen) and cook for a couple of minutes.
3. Add the mushrooms to the above with the rosemary,chilly flakes,pepper and salt (just for the veggies, as we are cooking the lentils with salt too) and cook till the mushrooms are softened.
4. Add the cooked lentils to the above, let the crushed garlic be, add the remaining tsp. of oil..and mix it gently but well.
Ta-da...it is ready to eat. Easy right...

Cleveland options Wood to Clippers; outrights Santos
The Cleveland Indians hit the Clippers with two more roster moves the day before the All-Star break today. The Tribe activated relief pitcher Blake Wood from the 60-day disabled list and optioned him to Columbus.
To make 40-man roster room, Cleveland outrighted catcher Omir Santos to the Clippers. The moves were the 174th and 175th of a busy season.
Cleveland claimed Wood of waivers from the Kansas City Royals on Nov. 2, 2012. He missed the '12 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. Wood hasd pitched in 14 games on a minor-league rehab assignment before today's move. He is 1-0 with a 0.00 earned run average in four games with the Clippers.

When it comes time to redecorate your toddler's room, spruce up your tween's space, or dress up your college kid's dorm room, Overstock has everything you need to complete the job with its selection of kids' bed-in-a-bag sets. From toddler to king, these sets come in various sizes to fit any mattress, while color options span the rainbow to let you choose a set that suits the existing decor. Bed-in-a-bag sets in a range of patterns let kids express their personalities, and high-quality materials provide a comfortable place to lay their heads. Machine-washable bed-in-a-bag sets for kids make laundering and care easy for parents. Shop sets from popular brands such as Marvel, Disney, Nickelodeon, PBS Kids, and Mattel to find the bed-in-a-bag that's perfect for your child, and choose from four-, five-, seven-, or eight-piece sets to get all the coordinated bedding pieces to complete the room. Learn more about the bed-in-a-bag patterns, materials, and sets available, and get the answers to some common questions.
Bed-in-a-bag sets with character themes get your little ones excited about bedtime. If your little guy is a huge fan of super heroes, Spider-Man, Batman, and Avengers sets make perfect choices, while My Little Pony, Sofia the First, and Elena of Avalor sets are ideal for your little princess. For kids who are fans of the classics, Lion Guard, Mickey Mouse, and Peanuts sets fit the bill. For the character-loving tweens in your life, you can't go wrong with Emoji Pals, Shopkins, Star Wars, and Jurassic World bed-in-a-bag sets.
Novelty sets let kids show off their unique sense of style through their bedding choices. Bed-in-a-bag sets with shooting stars or planets cater to your little astronomer, while pink flamingos or pastel toucans bring a feminine vibe to a room that's still whimsical enough for a child. Floral patterns in vibrant shades help create a sophisticated space for your growing tween.
From playful to sophisticated, bed-in-a-bag sets with all-over animal prints bring your child's room to life with bold colors and fun designs. Little girls love sets with pastel elephants, cats, and butterflies, while little guys go wild for alligators, dinosaurs, and lions. Perfect for your teen, bed-in-a-bag sets with leopard- and zebra-print patterns are fantastically fierce.
The most popular fabric for bedding, cotton is breathable, soft, and affordable. Thanks to its durability and easy laundering, cotton is great for kids' bedding. Since it's a natural fabric, cotton can keep your little one cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Its hypoallergenic qualities also make it a perfect choice if your child has sensitivities.
Polyester is a man-made fabric. While it's not super-soft like cotton, polyester is popular for bedding because of its affordability. Like cotton, polyester launders easily, yet it has the advantage of being more resistant to wrinkling than cotton. The durable fabric is a fine choice for kids' bedding because it retains its shape and appearance over time.
Made from finely woven polyester, this synthetic fabric is highly durable. It holds up well to washing and retains its shape better than many other materials. Microfiber is soft to the touch and is relatively affordable when used for bedding. Microfiber does require more frequent laundering because of its tendency to absorb dirt and oils, and it may be too warm for your little one during the hotter months.
Four-piece bed-in-a-bag sets contain one comforter, one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and one pillowcase. These sets are often found in twin sizes, with themes that range from Star Wars to Moana. Four-piece bed sets are also available for toddler beds, with styles such as Thomas the Tank Engine, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Daniel Tiger, and Strawberry Shortcake.
Bed-in-a-bag sets with five pieces often contain one comforter, one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, one pillowcase, and one sham. These sets typically are designed to fit twin-size beds. Alternately, a five-piece set designed to fit a full-size bed may contain one comforter, one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two standard-size pillowcases.
A seven-piece bed-in-a-bag set contains one comforter, one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, two pillowcases, and two shams. These sets are designed to fit full-, queen-, or king-size beds. The addition of extra pillowcases and shams gives your child's bed an inviting look.
An eight-piece bed-in-a-bag set contains one comforter, one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, two pillowcases, two shams, and one decorative pillow. The decorative pillow ties in with the bedding's theme for a put-together look. Bed-in-a-bag sets with eight pieces typically are designed to fit full-size beds.
Going one step beyond a bed-in-a-bag, colorful and creative eleven-piece sets from Crayola offer your child a bedroom in a box. For the bed, these sets include one comforter, one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, two pillowcases, two shams, and a plush pillow. For a cohesive look that spans the room, these sets also come with two curtain panels and a functional box ottoman for seating and storage.
Toddler beds hold mattresses that measure 27 inches in width by 52 inches in length. These mattresses are the same size as crib mattresses. The fitted sheets in toddler bedding sets are designed to fit this size mattress, and comforters often measure between 40 and 60 inches in length, depending on the manufacturer.
The main purpose of a flat sheet is to provide a clean, crisp, finished appearance on a bed. After putting the fitted sheet on your child's mattress, lay the flat sheet with the pattern side down on top of the fitted sheet. Tuck the bottom and the lower sides (about three-quarters of the way up) of the flat sheet under the mattress. Place your child's comforter on top, then fold the flat sheet back, over the top of the comforter, to reveal its decorative side. Add pillows and shams, and voila! Your little one's cozy nest awaits.
While pillowcases and shams are similar in appearance, they serve different purposes and their designs vary in several ways. Pillowcases cover the pillows that are used for sleeping. They are open at one end and protect the pillow from becoming soiled. Pillow shams are designed for decorative use. You insert the pillow through an opening on the back, which is usually covered with a flap closure. Many shams feature a flange or ruffle on all four sides for added flair.

Nikhil Goyal passionately advocates for education reform. His newly published book, One Size Does Not Fit All: A Student's Assessment of School by the Alternative Education Resource Organization, is making headlines at Forbes, ASCD, Teach.com, and Huffington Post.
Goyal's not a typical advocate for reform. He's a 17-year-old high school student in his senior year. At 17, he's already a veteran TEDx speaker, writer for the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and now author.
Goyal writes, "We need to ask: What if school wasn't school anymore?"
"Imagine if we approached learning through debate and tinkered with ideas by bringing back French salons from the 17th century. Imagine if schools were dynamic social engines and the birthplace of lifelong learners and global citizens. Currently, schools are like the citadels of ancient times. Let's bridge the gap between school, community, and the world."
Instead of tests and grades, Goyal wants to see performance assessments such as the College and Work Readiness Assessment.
In classrooms, Goyal advocates experiential curriculums, rethinking age-grouping, and rethinking what is taught including more thinking, collaboration, and risk-taking.
Forbes writer, Erica Swallow, shares Goyal's thoughts on what to expect from high school graduates. "By the time we make it out of high school, Goyal says, we have been taught to think just like everyone around us, and our ability to think critically or creatively has been squandered. What's worse, we fail to ask questions and we fear risks, because all of our formidable years were spent spitting out "right answers" instead of being taught to inquire and think for ourselves to solve problems."
Wow. Goyal is on to something bigger than his ideas. He's making the bigger point that we should ASK the students how to improve education. (Just like businesses ask customers!) That's the best idea I've heard all year.

The latest rumor has it that the above image depicts the upcoming HTC M7. According to @evleaks, the image was pulled from a SIM card installation tutorial included in an early version of the HTC M7′s firmware. The image shows a white device with a very minimalistic design dominated by edge-to-edge glass that covers the display. Above the display is a large front-facing camera, two senors (most likely used to measure proximity and ambient light) and micro-drilled speaker holes. What's most surprising about the design of the device in the image is that it sports a matching set of micro-drilled holes below the screen, suggesting that the HTC M7 will have front-facing stereo speakers – a feature that would definitely enhance the handset's media and gaming experience.
While we always love seeing leaked images of unannounced phones, we do not believe that the image above represents what the HTC M7 will look at launch. One of our sources claims that the design seen in the image is "not even close" to what the HTC M7 looks like and that the leaked image of the M7 from last week "matches up a lot better."
Our source has yet to disappoint us with bad information, but we will remind you that the HTC M7 global launch is currently stalled, and the device could have multiple designs based on market and carrier demands. Fortunately, the official unveiling of the HTC M7 should happen during or before Mobile World Congress, which means there's only about five weeks of rumors and speculation to get through.
What are your thoughts on the leaked image? Would front-facing stereo speakers be a selling point you'd be interested in?

Summary: Bella is a red werewolf, sole survivor of the fire that killed her entire pack.
Devlyn is a beta male werewolf in a pack of grays.
Forced to flee her adopted gray pack when the alpha male becomes a vicious threat, she struggles to live as a lone wolf, until Devlyn, the gray male who rescued her as a pup, comes to bring her home.
When a local red werewolf goes on a killing spree, Bella and Devlyn must flee the murderer, the police and their vengeful pack leader. With the full moon rising, and her heat upon her, Bella can't resist the pull to her destined mate, even if means Devlyn will have to face the wicked alpha male in a fight to the death...
A sizzling paranormal romance based on extensive research on how wolves live and behave in the wild, creating a fascinating world of nature and fantasy.
Review: I enjoyed this story very much. I thought it was a great romance novel and I thought Bella and Dev were both wonderful characters. I enjoyed reading them together because they were so obviously in love and I thought their relationship was really sweet. Bella is quite the tease which was cute to read, and Dev is so strong and so brave I fell in love with him so fast. I added Terry's books to my TBR list and they are pretty high up. I would recommend this book to any wolf lover.

Styx's Storm and Lion's Heat by Lora Leigh
Summary: Styx's Storm is a standalone novel that sustains the pulse of this erotic epic. In the novel, Wolf Breed Styx has saved the virginal young Storme Montague from the grasp of slave traders, but to fulfill a pledge, he must seduce her by sunrise. This pleasurable saga of carnal craving continues.
Bad boy Jonas Wyatt knows it is fate that Rachel becomes his mate. He can sense it. He can also sense her reluctance. But she has little power over the mating heat of the Breeds. It is Jonas's destiny to claim her. And nothing will stop him from having his way.
Review: Overall, very good. I didn't really like Styx. He seemed to be an asshole. And I wasn't really digging the fact that he had a Scottish accent mostly because I couldn't really his voice right in my head. I thought Storme was a great character. The story was done well, but I thought these books were about shifters. I got a bit confused about that. Still this is definitely worth checking out.
My feelings towards Lion's Heat was much like those towards Styx's Storm. I thought Rachel was a great character and I enjoyed reading her. It took a bit of time for me to warm up to Jonas. I enjoyed the story in Styx's Storm more than this story, but both were very good.
I give both books 4 howls.

Tomorrow my blog is 1 year old!
I was freaking out because I neglected my blog and I realized it was already January and I thought I missed my blog's birthday. I realized it is actually tomorrow, and I'm not posting this tomorrow because I won't be able to get to a computer. Unfortunately I don't have a massive post or giveaway to do, but I want to thank you all for following my blog even though it's been forgotten recently. I might get a review up today. I'm hoping. Have a good day all. :)

Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton
Summary: When seventeen-year-old Ellie starts seeing reapers - monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell - she finds herself on the front lines of a supernatural war between archangels and the Fallen and faced with the possible destruction of her soul. A mysterious boy named Will reveals she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior, the only one capable of wielding swords of angelfire to fight the reapers, and he is an immortal sworn to protect her in battle. Now that Ellie's powers have been awakened, a powerful reaper called Bastian has come forward to challenge her. He has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her - an assassin who has already killed her once. While balancing her dwindling social life and reaper-hunting duties, she and Will discover Bastian is searching for a dormant creature believed to be a true soul reaper. Bastian plans to use this weapon to ignite the End of Days and to destroy Ellie's soul, ending her rebirth cycle forever. Now, she must face an army of Bastian's most frightening reapers, prevent the soul reaper from consuming her soul, and uncover the secrets of her past lives - including truths that may be too frightening to remember.
Review: I managed to win an ARC of this from a contest and I was absolutely excited because this book has been buzzing around blogs like crazy. I think it is well worth the wait as it is a quick read with a good story. As far as characters go I really liked all of them (even some of the minor characters), and I related to Ellie alot. I am very familiar with disappointing parents and getting yelled at by them so I was very sympathetic towards that. Will seems to be a very sweet character and I can't wait to see their relationship grow.
As for the story I was honestly a bit concerned when I sarted reading. It sounded a lot like Bleach if you've ever read/seen that. Girl is a normal human girl when she is suddenly attacked by monsters from death who come to the mortal world to eat souls. While that sounds similar the story itself is much different as it also incorporates Satan and God into it. You learn a lot about Ellie and Will thoughout this story and I most certainly recommend getting it if you want to read a good, quick paranormal YA book.
4/5 howls

I have NOT been neglecting my blog. Okay maybe a little bit. *shame*
Yeah I've been out of school for about a month now and I haven't done any new posts. I feel awful about that. I've been reading pretty much nonstop though so I should have tons of reviews to put up. To lessen the load I'll be doing a lot of posts together. I'll do a massive review of The Hunger Games Trilogy, Blood Promise-The Last Sacrifice, Pride-Alpha, etc.
I still won't be able to post for a few more days because my computer is messed up, but it will *hopefully* be fixed soon.
I hope everyone has a swell new year. My 2011 isn't starting off all that well, but I'm hoping it will get better.
Thanks for sticking with me and I hope to have some new reviews up soon.

Style # 201046
Metal Plate Stretch Belt is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 1 out of 5 by ProfessionalShopper from Poor Quality Although this belt looks great, one of the snaps broke the first day I wore it. I tried hot gluing it back together but it continues to break. Complete waste of money.
Date published: 2012-11-07
Rated 2 out of 5 by stilettogirl from Open and Shut Case "I got this belt in the Beige/Gold Metallic. It's gorgeous. But, the very night I brought it home, one of the snap closures in the back got stuck. Therefore, the belt wouldn't fasten anymore. This was only the second time I had tried it on -- once in the store and once at home. Now, I considered all the times I had changed outfits in a fury before a dinner party, or a first date. All in all, this belt wouldn't hold up to frequent outfit changes, let alone frequent wear. And I wear all of my belts -- frequently. Although it has the right look, unfortunately, I can't trust that it's made of the right stuff to make it through the night."

Consensus Report
Exploration of the Seas: Voyage into the Unknown (2003)Ocean Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Each year, exiting, ocean-related discoveries are made; however, more research funding is available to scientists that revisit sites as opposed to individuals that want to explore poorly understood regions. A new program, where opportunities exist to investigate unexplored areas of the ocean, is needed to facilitate rapid discovery and implementation of previously unknown information. This report argues that a new large-scale, multidisciplinary ocean exploration program would increase the pace of discovery of new species, ecosystems, energy sources, seafloor features, pharmaceutical products, and artifacts, as well as improve understanding of the role oceans play in climate change. It recommends that such a program should be run by a nonfederal organization and should encourage international participation.
Key Messages
- Access to standard and new technology, including commercially available equipment and technology that is not used for and by research institutions, is necessary for an ocean exploration program to succeed.
- After exhaustive deliberation, the committee found that an ocean exploration program could be sponsored through NOPP, or through one of the two major supporters of civilian ocean research in the nation: NOAA or NSF.
- Currently ocean science funding in the United States is predominantly awarded to research in specific disciplines, such as biological, physical or chemical oceanography. Proposals for interdisciplinary work are hampered by a funding bureaucracy that is also discipline-based. Ocean exploration is an integrative activity that will encourage and support interdisciplinary efforts that seek to discover new contributions to the marine sciences.
- In a large scale, international ocean exploration program, capacity building can serve to enlist additional countries in the efforts, increase the resources (e.g., trained personnel) available for future work, and aid partner nations in good stewardship of our shared oceans.

Albania, the Muslim World's Most Pro-American State
But on an early Sunday morning in this small town north of Albania's international airport, sentiments toward America couldn't be warmer. On the second floor of a salmon-colored building, a leathery old man sips an espresso and smokes a cigarette on the balcony of Bar Kafe George W. Bush. The building's entrance bears a bronze plaque commemorating "Xhorxh" W.'s June 2007 visit, as does the wooden chair in which the president sat. Atop the stairs there hangs a painting of the White House, rendered, like the cafe, in a pallid shade of pink.
Bush's reception in this small, Muslim-majority nation may have been the most enthusiastic he ever received. At a time when his domestic approval ratings were near their nadir, crowds waited for hours outside the cafe to grasp, hug, and kiss the president. Ecstatic throngs chanted, "Bush-y! Bush-y!" as his limousine passed by. Three postage stamps displayed Bush's smiling visage, and a street in Tirana, the capital, was named after him. Parliament unanimously approved a bill authorizing "American forces to engage in any kind of operation, including the use of force, in order to provide security for the president," and Albanian newspaper Korrieri published the sarcastic headline "Please Occupy Us!"
Albania's prime minister since 2005, Sali Berisha, called Bush "the greatest and most distinguished guest we have ever had in all times." Berisha's rival, Socialist Party leader and Tirana Mayor Edi Rama, said, "Albania is for sure the most pro-American country in Europe, maybe even in the world."
Though Bush's visit to Albania was the first by a sitting American president, the country's ties to the United States are deep. They originate in late-19th-century Boston, where a community of Albanian émigrés, mostly Eastern Orthodox (who today make up roughly 20 percent of Albania's population), formed an influential center for the Albanian national movement. One member of this community, Fan Noli, arrived in Boston in 1906, at the age of 24, became deputy editor of the nationalist journal Kombi, founded the Albanian Orthodox Church two years later, at 26, and graduated from Harvard in 1912, the year Albania declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire. Back in his homeland, Noli became prime minister of a deservedly short-lived administration, famously ordering, as Miranda Vickers writes in The Albanians, "several of his political opponents to be paraded continuously around Tirana's central square, whilst being force-fed cod-liver oil, until they defecated in front of the crowd."
However base a prime minister, Noli was a superb statesman, winning membership for his country in the League of Nations and helping to convince Woodrow Wilson of the need for an independent Albania. At the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, Wilson argued forcefully against Albania's division among its neighbors—an act fondly remembered here to this day.
Genc Pollo, Albania's eloquent, Austrian-educated deputy prime minister (he holds a doctorate in Roman history), casually recites the historical reasons for the "rock star treatment" Bush received: "Woodrow Wilson preventing Albania from being carved up"; "Ronald Reagan's inspiring statements of 'evil empire' and 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall,' "; "Bush Sr.'s encouragement in our fight against communism"; "Clinton's bombing of Serbia" to protect the ethnic Albanians who make up roughly 88 percent of Kosovo's population; and "Bush Jr.'s promotion of Kosovo's independence and of Albania joining NATO." But, Pollo says, "there is also an emotional dimension to this affection that cannot always be explained in rational terms."
Though U.S. support of Albania has gone almost totally unnoticed by the American people, it has engendered feelings of great appreciation here, a gratitude Albanians have been eager to express. After Clinton's intervention in Kosovo, thousands of Albanians named their babies Bill and Hillary, and many rooted for the latter during the Democratic primaries in 2008. When no other country would take them, Albania accepted five Uighur detainees from Guantanamo and—unlike the United States—prevented Chinese agents from interrogating them.
Albania was one of the first countries to commit troops to Afghanistan and Iraq. In a 2005 op-ed in the Washington Times, the country's ambassador to the United States wrote, "If you believe in freedom, you believe in fighting for it. If you believe in fighting for freedom, you believe in America. … Were it not for the Americans, there is a good chance there would be no France, nor a United Kingdom nor a Belgium, as we know them today. Were it not for the United States it also is very possible no Balkan countries would be free."
In late July, Albania announced it would quintuple its presence in Afghanistan by 120 troops. This may not seem like much, until you consider the Albanian soldier's reputation: Favored as conscripts to the Ottoman Janissary corps, they were described by a 19th-century London Times correspondent as "the finest and most warlike race in southern Europe." As my friend Dori proudly tells me, each Albanian soldier is said to equal 100 from any other land.
Dori's father served in the Communist-era Albanian People's Army alongside another soldier who was slight and frail. Like many servicemen, they were told by their commander that because their small, isolated army would be greatly outnumbered by invading forces from NATO or the Warsaw Pact, each of them would have to kill 100 men. Looking to his poor comrade, Dori's father told the commander, "He can handle at most 72 or 73. But not to worry—I will kill the remaining 28."
At the time, Albania was ruled by xenophobic Communist dictator Enver Hoxha, who over four decades of misrule turned his country into the most secluded in the world. An admirer of Stalin who found Khrushchev's brand of communism insufficiently orthodox, calling him "the greatest counterrevolutionary charlatan and clown the world has ever known," Hoxha first broke ties with the Soviet Union, then with China, whose rapprochement with Nixon he couldn't abide.
In preparation for attacks from the Soviets and the forces of Anglo-American imperialism, Hoxha covered the Albanian countryside in hundreds of thousands of pillbox-shaped concrete bunkers, roughly one for each family. Today many of these bunkers, now covered in moss, are being dragged away by tanks to make way for tourism on Albania's Adriatic shore. But others have found new uses, converted into love shacks and restrooms and even capitalist restaurants, where American imperialists are especially welcome to dine.

The installation process would have been much easier, had all of the necessary parts been shipped. Having to purchase parts from a local hardware store that were missing from the package put a damper on the entire project. Having said that, I can definitely notice a difference in performance. Engine RPMs are lower, gas mileage has seemed to improve and the motor has a subtle, but notably deeper sound.

Federal transportation safety authorities have ordered the operators of Three Angels Farms to cease its transportation services on grounds that serious safety violations connected to the firm's vehicles and drivers constitute a public safety hazard. Earlier this year, the Tennessee firm was connected to two serious traffic incidents that collectively claimed the lives of four horses.
On Jan. 16 a truck hauling 38 horses in a single-level trailer owned by Three Angels Farm was traveling westbound along Interstate 40 in Williamson County, Tenn., when the trailer overturned, entirely blocking the road's westbound lanes and shutting down traffic for several hours. Three of the horses died as a result of the accident. The truck's driver, Mance Frank Reed, was later charged with unsafe operation of a vehicle; failure to exercise due care; and driving fatigued. Reed also received citations for brake violations as well as frame and tire violations on the trailer.
Six months later on June 12, Scott York of Smiths Grove, Ky., was traveling on Interstate 440 transporting 37 horses from Three Angels Farm in Lebanon, Tenn., to a Texas location when the floor of the trailer containing the animals collapsed. One horse was humanely euthanized at the scene. York was later charged with operating a commercial vehicle without a commercial driver license, no commercial tag, log book violation, brake violation, defective tires, and unsafe operations.
On June 28, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) ordered Three Angels Farms and its owners, Edwin Dorian Ayache, to immediately cease all transportation services after safety investigators found multiple safety infractions that substantially increased the likelihood of serious injury to the traveling public.
In a written statement, FMCSA spokeswoman Shashunga Clayton said that during the agency's probe, investigators discovered multiple federal violations in hours-of-service compliance, driver qualification requirements, drug and alcohol testing and vehicle maintenance.
Nether Edwin Ayache nor Dorian Ayache were available for comment.
If it violates final order, Three Angels Farms operators could face civil penalties of up to $16,000 per day for each day the company remains non-compliant criminal penalties including a fine of up to $25,000, imprisonment, or a combination of the three if the order violation is determined to be willful.
The Ayaches have 10 days to appeal the FMCSA's decision, the final order said.

Ellis, an Ocala Realtor and member the Florida Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Foundation board, is raising awareness of a new bill from state Rep. Mike Fasano, who seeks changes that affect the dispensing of prescription drugs within Florida.
As his family recalled him, Corey Langdale loved dirt bikes, fishing, mud-bogging in his massive red Ford pickup, tailgating at Florida Gator games and easily befriended people with his sense of humor.
Yet a demon that had gotten hold of the 24-year-old Ocalan caused his untimely demise. Langdale died 18 months ago from an accidental overdose of prescription medications.
Now his mother, Karen Ellis, wants to exorcise the evil before other parents face what she had to go through and burying a child too early.
Yet she worries that while a useful tool is in place to avert a tragedy for other families, the resources might not be there to sustain it.
Ellis, an Ocala Realtor and member the Florida Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Foundation board, is raising awareness of a new bill from state Rep. Mike Fasano, who seeks changes that affect the dispensing of prescription drugs within Florida.
Primarily, Fasano, a New Port Richey Republican, is looking to expand funding sources for the state's prescription-monitoring database, known formally as the Electronic-Florida Online Reporting of Controlled Substances Evaluation program, or E-FORCSE.
"It was more painful for me than I anticipated," Ellis recalled in a recent interview about becoming an activist and trying to reduce the number of deaths attributable to prescription medications.
"But I just started reading about the numbers in Florida. We have to do something. We cannot accept the state of Florida having seven deaths a day."
In 2011, the most recent year for which statistics are available, 2,539 people — or seven a day — died with at least one prescription drug in their system that was identified as the cause of death, according to the state Medical Examiners Commission's annual report on drug-related deaths.
The commission notes that these drugs were either the direct cause of death or worked in conjunction with other medications, illegal drugs or alcohol.
The number was actually good news.
Deaths in 2011 attributable to a fatal amount of prescription medications dropped by 6.4 percent relative to 2010, the MEC report notes.
And the number of those who, like Langdale, accidentally overdosed on a prescription drug fell by 11 percent.
While the death rate of some types of painkillers and tranquilizers was up from the previous year, the MEC observed positive trends among some of the best-known prescription drugs.
The commission defines an "occurrence" as identifying a specific drug within a decedent's system.
In 2011, compared with the prior year, occurrences of Xanax fell by 14.3 percent, Valium dipped 1.7 percent and oxycodone dropped 11 percent.
Fatalities specifically caused by oxycodone, which Florida officials feared not so long ago was killing people at an epidemic rate, plummeted even more dramatically, down by 18 percent in 2011.
Still, on the down side, the commission pointed out that prescription drugs were discovered in the deceased more often than illegal drugs in 2011.
Ellis said her story was familiar among those she has heard from other parents.
Corey Langdale was a former football player at Belleview High School who got in trouble with marijuana after high school.
State records show that in July 2005 he was arrested for marijuana possession and grand theft. In April 2007 he was sentenced to 22 months in prison.
Ellis said he got out and rebuilt his life.
But his downward spiral from sobriety began about four months before he died, when he found prescription medications to feed his habit.
"You take away their keys. You take away their cellphones. You take away their computer. And you think you've stopped them from getting it," Ellis said.
But, she added, "If they want to get their hands on it, they're going to get it. It's easy."
She eventually landed a seat on the board of the Florida Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Foundation, a nonprofit created by the original 2009 anti-doctor-shopping law to help the Department of Health manage the database.
The initial effort to crush pill mills was overwhelming.
The original bill, a version of which was championed by former GOP state Rep. Kurt Kelly of Ocala, passed the state Senate unanimously and had only 10 opponents in the 120-member House.
Through the law, the foundation was empowered to help administer and maintain the database as well as conduct studies to gauge the program's effectiveness, provide funding for future enhancements and inform the public, doctors and pharmacists about the database via public education campaigns and training workshops.
Yet lawmakers also barred the state from financially assisting in accomplishing all of that — leaving federal and private funding as the program's only revenue source.
In 2011, the database took another hit when Gov. Rick Scott and some state lawmakers refused to budge on allowing drugmakers to fund the database, thus killing a $1 million offer to do that by Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin.
Despite that, the database finally got off the ground in September 2011. It still struggles, however.
Rep. Fasano, who as a state senator proposed the 2009 bill creating the program, has proposed several key changes.
For example, Fasano's bill contains a new provision requiring doctors or their designees to check the database before prescribing drugs to new patients, or face a penalty if they don't.
The measure would also to prohibit non-doctors from owning pain management clinics, the primary source for Florida's reputation as the pill mill capital of the U.S.
Fasano's legislation also mandates that clinics owned by big corporations register with the state.
Perhaps most importantly, Fasano wants the state and drug companies to help shoulder the costs for the database. His bill specifically strikes provisions that bar them as funding sources.
Ellis believes the effort to upend pill mills is working, and some evidence suggests that.
The 2009 bill establishing the database noted that nine Floridians a day were dying with prescription drugs in their systems. That has dropped to seven.
But the foundation drastically needs help to continue, Ellis said.
Specifically, about $500,000 in help — the amount necessary to operate the database on a yearly basis.
The funding problem could be resolved, she said, by charging those who prescribe and dispense medications a small fee — perhaps $10 or $20 — each time they renew their licenses.
Florida has 104,276 prescribers and another 27,260 dispensers, according to Ellis.
According to the Alliance of States with Prescription Monitoring Programs, Missouri is the only state that has not launched such a program or passed legislation to implement one.
Florida, however, is one of the biggest ones that refuses to publicly fund it.
Ellis said that needs to change.
"A lot of parents approach me and tell me what they're going through with their kid because I'm an example of what not to do. My eyes have been opened," said Ellis.
"We are all affected by this. And we really need better systems in place, like the monitoring program. We've got to step up to the plate somehow."

Why Photography at Barry?
Focus on Photography
Barry University's undergraduate photography program is designed to immerse you in the field. While many other schools offer an Art degree with supplemental photography courses, we feel that a dedicated degree in Photography will offer you a greater depth of knowledge and experience. You will have the opportunity to focus solely on photography, or elect more art courses if you wish to add a more diversified education in other mediums. You can choose between the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and the Bachelor of Arts degree, and your academic advisor will assist you in choosing the electives that will prepare you to meet your personal and professional goals. (For more information, see: What is the difference between a BFA and a BA?)
Traditional and Digital
As you compare programs from different universities, you may find that many schools are shutting down their darkrooms to concentrate solely on digital photography. Barry is committed to maintaining the tradition of film and the darkroom, while offering the latest advances in the digital medium. You will have the opportunity to explore and experiment, combining vintage techniques with cutting-edge digital technology to achieve hybrid results. We believe that there is no need for us to choose one over the other; they're both complimentary components of photography. As such, you can choose to focus on either one, or both.
Experienced Faculty
Barry's Department of Fine Arts is dynamic. All Photography faculty are exhibiting artists and very active in their field. Their diverse backgrounds and styles lead to diversity of thought within the department. You will receive individualized attention and learn from professional artists, as we do not hire student teaching assistants as faculty.
Small Classes
As a photography major you will have access to the facilities seven days a week, and class are capped at reasonable sizes to ensure that you receive individualized attention. Your opportunities are limited only by your own degree of motivation.
South Florida Advantages
Barry University's proximity to downtown Miami and Miami Beach is a definite advantage for photography students. You will have access to South Florida's culture and art scene, which is an international connection for commercial and fashion photography, and, more recently, cutting-edge fine arts.

Single room such as a dining room, guest room, play room, or foyer.
two single rooms (or connected rooms) or a large area such as a basement, master bedroom/bath, kitchen/breakfast area or great room.
Adjoining Rooms - a group of three rooms (or studio) that are connected (or open) to one another, such as a dining room/living room/foyer or a kitchen/breakfast area/ keeping room.
1) I am confused as to which size rug we need for the dining room. The room measures out to be 11 feet 10 inches long and 12 feet 7 inches wide. The dining room table is 5 feet 10 inches long and 3 feet 6 inches wide without the additional leaf. I am not sure the size of the rug that would sufficiently cover the entire table and chairs pulled out.
Rocky Face, GA
That's a great question that seems to baffle most people.
The rule of thumb is that you want to leave at least 2 feet per chair to pull out. Some rooms don't allow for that type of luxury but it's just one of those handy rules that sometimes applies. If you wanted to get some of that "blue painter's tape" and make an outline on your floor, it would be a great way to see the proportion of the rug you are considering and how it works in your room, prior to purchase.
2) We're building our new house with lots of natural wood (oak), stone and forged iron accents. I would like to do some rooms in an "oatmeal" tone carpet. (i.e. flecks of browns and neutrals.) What Karastan carpet would fit this description? We also have a "slight shedding" boxer and a visiting grandchild (age 1 1/2) Thanks, I love the product and insisted on the brand to my builder.
Chris Moyer
Ridgewood, NJ
Your new house sounds gorgeous! The mix of wood, stone, and iron offer a backdrop of rich tones that would pair wonderfully with a Berber-flecked carpet. Karastan makes a number of Berber styles in cut-pile and loop-pile textures. Not only would they work well, they would mask shedding hair and withstand the mishaps bound to happen when grandchildren visit! Check out Cabarita, Catalina, and Alamitos Bay.
3) I have wall-to-wall carpet in two rooms on the 1st floor and up the stairs. The carpet in the front room is in perfect condition. The carpet on the stairs is also in good shape. The carpet in the middle room (same room open stairs) needs replacement. The carpet is beige. I would like to have darker carpet in the middle room, which is used all the time. The one there now is stained with drinks, etc. Will it look terrible to put a different color carpet in that room, since all the rooms are pretty much opened up? Do you have any other suggestions?
Mary Kay
Pittson, PA
Why not try a patterned carpet in a brown/black color with a slight beige pattern? That way you tie in the darker color needed in your heavy traffic area with the existing beige tones. Some Karastan options that would work great are: Gingham Stitch and French Check.
4) I want to carpet my split-level home with a light color that is neutral in tone. I am single and nearing retirement. I also need new living room furniture, so I am not using furniture to guide my carpet selection. I'd appreciate any suggestions for carpet color/style. I'm imagining a light, maybe sort of Japanese or Zen-like atmosphere... (I'm thinking of bamboo, light green for accents). I want a soothing room with a mix of textures and comfort -- not stark modern. I don't want the carpet to have a yellow undertone or be too pink or Khaki...I haven't bought carpet since the mid-80's, so I'm a little lost and get overwhelmed in the stores. I'd appreciate any advice.
Redmond, WA
Norma, some Zen-like carpets that come to mind are Agave, Nevis, and Worsted Stria. They are neutral with a twist, which is what I think you are looking for. It would be best to get some samples and see how the light in your space affects the overall color of the carpet. You also might want to consider some colors besides beige. Light greens are soothing to the eye and have a peaceful feeling.
5) I live in a 2,400 square-foot slab, on-grade townhome. I would like to replace my carpet with a plush texture that is dense and thick with fibers .50 high. What do you suggest?
Eden Prairie, MN
For a slab installation, I would recommend one of Karastan's trademark products--Eloquence. It is luxuriously thick with a heavy texture. What's more, it comes in 60 colors so you're bound to find the perfect shade for your townhome.
6) How do I choose between short and tall, dense-pile carpet? What is the actual difference when walking on it?
Boynton Beach, FL
The answer to your question is really a matter of preference. A shorter pile feels tighter underfoot and presents a more tailored look. If you are considering a taller cut-pile (versus a shorter cut-pile), it may look thicker, more velvety and have a sumptuous feel. If you are looking at a frieze or shag-like texture (where the yarns are a little looser in style), the taller pile height will have a more casual look with a feel that you can really dig your toes into. I would suggest going to a carpet store and walking on some carpet samples. Take your shoes off to get a real feel for the carpet before you make a final decision. You can find your nearest Karastan retailer by visiting our store locator section.
7) My foyer wallpaper is in excellent condition and I love it. It's a medium scale floral design (18th century Winterthur style). However, it is 18 years old. I am shopping for an area rug and runner for the foyer, but I do not want to be locked into a color or pattern if the wallpaper should change. What are your thoughts?
Eileen Karwaski
Media, PA
I think a pattern like Karastan's Captiva from the Samarkand Collection would work very nicely. This pattern is interesting enough to blend with your present medium-scaled floral wallpaper and rich enough to blend with a new paper should you decide to change it. Beige and neutral, this pattern will add warmth to your foyer without being overpowering. It seems a bit "old world" and could fit in beautifully with a classic setting.
This new program allows you to create your own look from a select group of styles, 100 color options, and custom rug bindings.
Karastan is excited to launch our new Inspired Luxury Program of patterned styles. This program allows the consumer to create their own look. We have compiled a select group of styles, added a 100 custom color option, and a custom rug binding option to create an exciting new program, all in an easy to understand format. This program will replace the National Trust Program that is currently offered. We will utilize the existing fixture and offer a merchandising package to upgrade the display.
-- All Styles are NOT available with all binding options.

Computer Hardware
The review is based on this specification:
AMD Duron 1Ghz
320MB Ram
Primary Drive 40GB
Secondary Drive 6GB
ATI Radeon 7200 64MB
KV7MM Motherboard - Via 8233 Integrated Audio Via Rhine Integrated Ethernet
Avermedia TV Studio
Creative Webcam Go
Concord Eye-Q Digicam
Canon BJC1000 Printer
Installation Type
I did a custom install of Mandrake 10 on the above setup. I installed the root partition as a 15GB partition on the primary drive and /swap as 800MB on the secondary drive. I also installed /home on the remainder of the secondary drive.
/ is formatted as reiserfs
/home is formatted as ext2
The installation took 2.5GB and 16 minutes. The only hardware that was not detected was a Creative Webcam GO
Software Installed
I did a custom install first, installing both KDE and Gnome, Openoffice and Koffice. After the installation had finished, I ran Mandrake Update and picked the nearest repository to me and installed the rest of the software over the net. This included all the multimedia I use, Mplayer, Xine, Xmms, The Gimp and Tv-Time. I could have installed these from the installation disks, but I preferred to use the Internet update just to make sure I got the latest versions.
Daily Use
Mandrake included almost all the software I need on a daily basis. I use Mozilla for surfing, Kontact for E-mail, OpenOffice for writing. There are a few thing missing however. Xosview for example. I use this to keep an eye on the various resources that my machine is using at any time. Gkrellm is included and it does an excellent job of giving a quick idea on how things are running. Kbiff is also not included. I use this to monitor all my mail boxes. There is also no software included for file sharing. GTK-Gnutella was found on the same repository as Xosview and Kbiff.
A quick browse on the net also found the main repository for Mandrake 10 development. It includes over 2000 packages in RPM format. Installing any of them worked like a treat as they were for Mandrake 10 rather than generic Mandrake. There was no dependency problems at all.
The default KDE theme looks extremely ugly to me, so a quick trip to http://www.kdelook.org soon sorted that out. I downloaded the Baghira theme and Window Decorations and now KDE looks very sweet indeed. Sort of Linux, sort of MacOS X cross. Best from both I think.
Mandrake 10 is extremely responsive on this computer. From reboot it is up and running in KDE in 23 seconds. Indexing files is a directory is extremely quick compared to all other versions of Mandrake. Although to be completely honest, I think that has more to do with reiserfs than the system itself. Mozilla and OpenOffice both take a few seconds to boot up, but once they are running, they are lightning fast. Mandrake 10 is also really stable. I did have the KDE panel crash once when I installed some software and update the menu. It restarted without a problem though without restarting X.
I have installed Mandrake 10 onto a variety of machines since, both desktops and laptops, and none has shown any problems. I installed it onto a friends, (Windows Fanboy) computer. As the only system. I was expecting it to be removed within hours. That was 3 weeks ago, and he is still using it. He did have a few problems. He tried to install Limewire, and the install for this has to be done at the command line. He had not got a clue how to do this, and did not know it is case-sensitive. He picked up the command line very easily once this was pointed out... and also how to use the TAB key in the console ;) He has two other computers running Windows XP. He asked for a copy of my Mandrake disks so he can install it onto the main computer. I do not know if he is a quick learner, or if it is because he knew that if he got stuck he could give me a shout.

Kelly sees jawbone cancer as 'another river to cross'
BATAVIA – Buffalo Bills great Jim Kelly harkened back to a motivational phrase from his playing career in assessing the challenge he faces in battling cancer.
"When you hear the word cancer it actually scares the crap out of you," Kelly told reporters at his celebrity golf tournament Monday. "I know it not only scared me, but it scared my family. But like everything, it's just another river to cross."
One more river to cross was a rallying cry the Bills used during their Super Bowl era in the 1990s, as they faced challenges each week on the football field.
Now Kelly faces his latest personal crisis following his announcement Monday that he has been diagnosed with squamous-cell cancer in his upper jawbone. He is scheduled to undergo surgery Friday in Erie County Medical Center.
Kelly said doctors have told him his prognosis for recovery is good, based on computed tomography scans of his head. He said tests show the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
"When I talked to the surgeon, and when they went over the CT scan, they knew I caught it early enough," Kelly said. "But just like with anything, you have to wait a number of months after the surgery to make sure nothing comes back.
"I'm very confident. My faith is definitely there, and that's probably more than anything what's kept me going, and the support I've gotten from my family."
The Hall of Fame quarterback, 53, has withstood a series of physical ailments in recent years. Two years ago, he had two discs replaced and a metal plate inserted in his lower back. Later in 2011, he had double hernia surgery. Last Dec. 12, he had a major surgery in which a plate and six screws were inserted into his neck.
Kelly said he has had pain in his jaw for about six months. In March, he had surgery to remove a cyst about the size of a nickel from his gums and nasal cavity. He had to have his front teeth removed as a result. About two weeks ago, doctors diagnosed the cancer.
"You have challenges, and you have to confront them head-on," he said. "This is just another one. I've been to the top many, many times, and I've been to the bottom. It's just one of those roller coaster rides I've been on throughout my life, and it's just another challenge for me. I know I'll beat it. That's the bottom line."
Kelly made the announcement at his 27th annual charity golf tournament at Terry Hills Golf Course.
Many of his former teammates, including Bills greats Andre Reed and Steve Tasker, were among the 250 golfers in attendance. The event raises about $250,000 annually to support Kelly's two charities – the Kelly for Kids Foundation and the Hunter's Hope Foundation.
"He cuts a wide swath through life," Tasker said. "He never forgets anybody. He's truly gifted in that respect. He's got friends that he's had for decades. … And he doesn't forget people, and for that people love him. That's why Buffalo loves him."
"Jim's a fighter, so I think he'll be OK," Reed said. "We're all in his corner."
Kelly maintained an upbeat attitude at Terry Hills, greeting golfers and former teammates with a backslap and a smile.
He said his surgery will be performed by Dr. Thom R. Loree, director of the department of head and neck and plastic and reconstructive surgery at ECMC.
"I knew through the whole beginning of this that something wasn't right because when you take that many antibiotics and nothing works, you know something's wrong," Kelly said. "When the pain's constantly there all the time, it's no fun.
"We will know after the surgery if I have to do any radiation or chemo. I hope not because I've talked to people that have been through it. It's not a pretty sight. But it's part of the healing process. Whether I have to do that, right now I don't. But again, after the surgery … we'll learn a lot more of how everything's progressing."
Kelly said he encouraged doctors to do whatever it takes to remove the cancer.
"There has to be a hole that leads from my jawbone into my nasal cavity that has to be filled," he said. "There's bone grafting going to be done. I'm not a doctor, and I don't know all the terminology. But I told him when I met with the whole team on Saturday, I said, 'When you go in, do what you've got to do. If there's something you don't feel that looks right, take it out.' Whatever needs to be done so I am better off when I come out."
Kelly said he's determined to face the battle with a forward-looking attitude, something he has relied upon through other life crises, such as the death of his son, Hunter.
"I've been through it all, with all the things not only in my professional career, but with my son and all the things we went through there," he said. "You gotta stay strong. That's the Kelly way. That's how I was brought up by my father. That's how he raised his six sons. Things are going to happen in your life, and you have to meet it head-on, meet the challenge and win."
Hunter Kelly died at age 8 in 2005. He was born with Krabbe disease, an inherited degenerative disorder of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Kelly and his wife, Jill, have two teenage daughters, Erin and Camryn.

Over the last six years, I've been watching Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) very closely. Back in 2008, Chambliss faced a tough challenge in a three-way, finding himself in a runoff against Jim Martin, a liberal Democrat.
Part of the problem was campaign organization. Insider Advantage quoted an unidentified Republican who said that Chambliss and company had the organization of a "bad state House race," calling it a "embarrassing campaign." There was also the perception of Chambliss among Georgia Republicans. Insider Advantage again quoted a unidentified Republican who said, "Saxby's reputation is that he's spent six years in Washington playing golf. He's gone on lots of trips. He hasn't done the down-and-dirty constituent work."
"Saxby bragged about it his first four years – how much golf he was getting in. It was a real problem and it irked a lot of people," said the unnamed Republican source. Many Republicans in the state were less than thrilled with Chambliss, who hadn't been able to endear himself to the state party the way Sen. Johnny Isakson had.
Another issue that hurt Chambliss was that he had lost the support of many fiscal conservatives in Georgia because of his votes that put taxpayers at risk.
