[ Academia ] [ Litigation ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Public Policy : A policy practicum is a great choice for skills-based training in the range of methods available to effect changes in the law. Some policy labs, like this one, offer students an opportunity to do research on the scope of a problem not adequately addressed in current law or regulation. Students develop proposals for new or revised regulation based on problems identified in their research. This course is a good choice for public interest lawyers. Students will identify the challenges facing Californians with limited English proficiency and make recommendations for potential reform options to increase their access to California courts, such as expanded access to video remote interpreting and other technologies.
General course Description:
This policy practicum will offer recommendations to the California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Associate Justice Maria Rivera (First District Court of Appeal), Hon. Manuel Cavarrubius (California Superior Court, County of Ventura) and members of the California Judicial Council to increase access to justice for limited English proficient (LEP) court users. The project interacts with the process of the Joint Working Group for California's Language Access Plan and assists development of a response to a U.S. Department of Justice notice that certain Court policies and procedures may be inconsistent with Title VI of the Civil Right Act of 1964 and its implementing regulations. Numerous state and local laws are also implicated by a potential lack of access for LEP court users. The California Commission on Access to Justice estimates that well over 7 million Californians, almost 20% of our state's population, "cannot access the courts without significant language assistance, cannot understand pleadings, forms or other legal documents and cannot participate meaningfully in court proceedings." Through fieldwork, literature review, legal research, and interviews with relevant participants and stakeholders students will identify challenges facing LEP litigants. Students will interview and consult with such parties as the Chief Justice, appellate court judges, state bar leaders and other attorneys, members of the Language Access Task Force of California, and individual stakeholders to develop recommendations for potential reform options, including whether the use of such technologies as video remote interpreting (VRI) can expand access to justice for LEP litigants. Students will be asked to produce written materials (findings and recommendations) as well as make oral presentations to California judges, Judicial Council staff, and others at meetings at each quarter. This policy practicum will be offered Fall 2014 and Winter 2015. We encourage students to participate both quarters if they are able to do so. Students should also note that field work will require some number of students to engage in overnight travel for court observation and local interviews in areas outside the Bay Area. Your availability to take the practicum both quarters and to travel for field research should be noted in your consent form. Students have the option to write papers for PW or R credit. If the paper involves independent research, then it will be eligible for R credit. The instructor and student must agree whether the student will receive an R or a PW. After the term begins, students accepted into the course can transfer from the PW writing section (01) into section (02), which meets the R requirement, with consent of the instructor. The practicum must be taken for at least two-units or more to receive R or PW credit. Elements used in grading: Class Participation, Attendance, Written Assignments. Oral presentations to judges, commissions and California Judicial Council representatives, quality of research. NOTE: Students may not count more than a combined total of eight units of directed research projects and policy lab practica toward graduation unless the additional counted units are approved in advance by the Petitions Committee. Such approval will be granted only for good cause shown. Even in the case of a successful petition for additional units, a student cannot receive a letter grade for more than eight units of independent research (Policy Lab practicum, Directed Research, Senior Thesis, and/or Research Track). Any units taken in excess of eight will be graded on a mandatory pass basis. For detailed information, see "Directed Research/Policy Labs" in the SLS Student Handbook. CONSENT APPLICATION: To apply for this course, students must complete and e-mail the Consent Application Form available on the SLS Registrar's Office website (see Registration and Selection of Classes for Stanford Law Students) to the instructors. See Consent Application Form for submission deadline.

The Texas Tea Party Patriots want Montgomery County's member of Congress to be a thorn in the side of the political establishment, an unwavering conservative and a leader in the fight for causes they hold dear.
So faced with a Republican primary choice between a challenger claiming Tea Party credentials and an eight-term incumbent, the Texas Tea Party Patriots chose … the incumbent.
Not that the Montgomery activists had any objections to the views of challenger Larry Youngblood, a retired economic forecaster and small business owner from Cypress. Instead, they chose to embrace embrace Rep. Kevin Brady, a veteran lawmaker from The Woodlands who has become a leading congressional spokesman for spending cuts and Federal Reserve reform.
"In this race, Mr. Youngblood is the most conservative," the group said in its endorsement. "But Mr. Youngblood has not mounted a campaign that has a realistic chance of unseating a well-funded and liked incumbent like Mr. Brady."
Brady's success in cultivating Tea Party support is an indication of the lessons Texas GOP congressional incumbents have learned since the birth of the populist political movement two years.
Despite the fact that Tea Party insurgents are waging campaigns against 11 of the 22 Texas Republicans seeking re-election to their House seats, none of the incumbents appears to be in imminent danger of being unseated in the May 29 primary, Republican operatives and political analysts agree.
Rep. Pete Sessions of Dallas, chairman of the House Republicans' campaign committee, said he was confident that every GOP House member from Texas would survive their Tea Party challenges and "get out of it without a runoff."
But far from dismissing the insurgent movement, Sessions said he and his GOP House colleagues are fending off possible primary challenges by embracing the views espoused by the newfound political activists. He praised the Tea Party for "actively pushing each and every one of us" to be aware of grassroots concerns and called the anti-government groups "the most influential force this election year."
Rep. Greg Walden, an Oregon Republican active in the House GOP leadership, said the movement is "holding people who are in office accountable."
"If you can't respond," he said, "then you might find yourself in trouble."
Brady is a case study in pro-active response. He has invited Tea Party loyalists to his Washington office and he has spoken to numerous Tea Party gatherings in Texas. His multi-colored chart skewering "ObamaCare" became a favorite on Tea Party social media. And his recent legislative offensive against the Federal Reserve has won him friends in the freedom-and-liberty crowd.
The responses of Brady and other Texas House incumbents stand in sharp contrast to the dismissive attitude that contributed to longtime Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar's landslide loss to a Tea Party-backed challenger last week.
Political analysts say there's good reason for the stark difference in political outcomes.
"Because House members run every two years, they are less likely to grow too far out of touch than senators who have six years between running," said Charlie Cook, editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. "Second, House members generally represent districts that are smaller and more homogeneous than entire states and they generally reflect their constituencies more than senators do."
Another factor benefiting incumbent Texas Republicans in Congress: They are the most conservative big-state delegation in the nation, so they have cast relatively few votes that are objectionable to Tea Party activists.
"They're already pretty far to the right," said former Rep. Martin Frost, a longtime Democratic lawmaker from Dallas. "There's not a lot of space over there to their right. They've kind of pre-empted them."
The Texas congressman most vulnerable to a Tea Party challenge is Rep. Ralph Hall, at age 89 the oldest lawmaker in Washington.
Tea Party loyalist Steve Clark received 30 percent against Hall two years ago and says he is "finding even more support this time."
"Just because you don't see people gathering around court houses with picnic baskets doesn't mean that somehow the Tea Party is going flat," Clark said. "The problems are worse then they were two years ago: the assault on liberties, the financial straits we find ourselves in, the debt that is just incomprehensible."
Sessions said the Tea Party has expanded the Republican coalition by cultivating "a lot of people who are angry and energized."
"We are getting a lot of people who are not traditionally at our Republican events," he said. "I think it's good for our party."
Emily Wilkins of the Washington bureau also contributed to this report.

Paolo in 3D
Paolo has been photographing Earth and life aboard the Space Station during his MagISStra mission. These photos – some in 3D – show fascinating details inside the Station modules: they give us a feeling of the astronauts' surroundings.
Paolo published on last Friday a set of new 3D photos. They show aspects of daily life on the Station including experiments, education activities, repair work and exercises.
To view these 'anaglyph' images in 3D requires red/cyan glasses, but the content can also be understood without.
The photos can be seen at his Flickr account (www.flickr.com/photos/magisstra), but here are some samples:
Cady Coleman in Kibo laboratory. She will return to Earth with Paolo and Dmitri Kondratyev in early hours of Tuesday 24 May after being 159 days in space.

Talking to your child about learning disabilities (LD)
My neighbor's son, a second grader, was just found eligible to receive special education services for a specific learning disability (LD) in reading. His Mom called me to find out what resources I could recommend to help her talk with her son and her family about LD. As I gathered resources for her, I thought I'd share them with you too.
First, I recommended that she learn the facts about LD. Our sister site, LDOnline, offers LD Basics that includes common signs, how to get help early, and parent tips. The National Center for Learning Disabilities also offers facts about learning disabilities.
Among the most basic understandings: kids with LD are not stupid. It's not "their fault," they're not lazy, and there's nothing "wrong" with a person with learning disabilities.
Kids with learning disabilities are a heterogeneous group of kids; there's no one description that fits them all. Lots of kids with LD have difficulty with reading, others don't. Some kids with LD struggle in math, others don't.
The one commonality among them is the need for great teachers and excellent instruction.
Talking with a child who has learning disabilities about their LD is important. In my neighbor's case, and probably many others, his eligibility didn't come out of the blue. Jake has always struggled in school, and the demands of second grade haven't been easy. Honestly, I think Jake will be glad to know his frustrations are not because he's been doing something wrong.
Explaining LD and ADD to Your Child from Parent News is a helpful list for parents. It's long and in need of summarization, but the content is useful.
Talking with Your Elementary School Child about Learning Difficulties from Great Schools is another helpful resource.
Our How Parents Can Be Advocates for Their Children encourages parents to gather information, emphasize solutions and to involve your child in decision making when you can.
I hope this is enough to get my neighbor started. Please feel free to add any resources you think we should know about!

LMFAO: Some Dude Fakes A Heart Attack In His Courtroom Sentencing! [Dama]
DAYTON — The second time Keison Wilkins acted as his own attorney for a felonious assault trial didn't work out so well. Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Mary Katherine Huffman sentenced Wilkins to 42 years in prison Monday, June 30. The sentencing capped off a week of Wilkins' antics, which frequently caused Huffman to clear the courtroom. At one point he began yelling about lynchings. On Thursday, he apparently faked a heart attack, collapsing to the floor while uninterested observers watched. After the "attack," during which medical personnel checked him out and found nothing wrong with him, Wilkins sat in a chair, pretending to be unconscious. When a deputy put an ammonia stick under his nose Wilkins responded, opened his eyes, then went back to feigning unconsciousness. Wilkins, 33, who has an eighth-grade education, successfully represented himself before. In March 2005, a jury acquitted him of a different felonious assault charge, but a judge convicted him of being a felon in possession of a weapon. Last week, Wilkins represented himself again, and a jury convicted him Friday of two counts of felonious assault, being a felon in possession of a weapon, firing a gun into a habitation. He was also convicted of gun specifications, which added three years, and of being a repeat violent offender, adding 10 years to his sentence. It was the second time Wilkins had been tried in that case. In January 2005, two months before his successful defense, Wilkins was represented by an attorney and convicted. The Ohio 2nd District Court of Appeals overruled the convictions from the January 2005 trial, sending it back to Huffman's court for re-trial. The appeals court found Wilkins' attorney was ineffective for failing to object to Reginald Brooks' hearsay testimony. Brooks, who was shot April 28, 2004, on the 700 block of Faulkner Avenue, testified at trial that someone told him that Wilkins had been hired to kill him. Huffman had appointed an attorney for Wilkins for last week's trial, but Wilkins said he declined "because I don't trust you or your court."

The Division for the Natural and Applied Sciences (NAS) at Hope College has honored two faculty with awards designed to recognize excellence in teaching or research.
Dr. Aaron Cinzori, who is an associate professor of mathematics and chairperson of the department, has received the "Mary J. DeYoung Faculty Mentoring, Advising and Teaching Award." Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, who is an assistant professor of chemistry and Towsley Research Scholar, has received the "James N. Boelkins Research Promise Award." Both awards were announced during a luncheon at the college on Thursday, March 8.
The "Mary J. DeYoung Faculty Mentoring, Advising and Teaching Award" recognizes a faculty member who is exceptional in classroom teaching and instruction, research mentoring, and advising either academically, for career, or with student clubs and organizations. The winner is selected by a panel of students. The award was renamed earlier this year in honor of DeYoung, who died in July 2011 at age 58 due to cancer.
The "James N. Boelkins Research Promise Award" rotates in alternate years between junior and senior faculty, and is presented based on criteria including publication, grant awards, significant presentations at professional meetings, and external awards or other recognition from professional organizations and societies. The winner is chosen by an anonymous panel of faculty members from among nominees by the division's department chairs and the dean. It is named in honor of Dr. James N. Boelkins, who retired as the college's provost in 2010.
The student nomination celebrated Cinzori on each of the award's measures, noting, "His enthusiasm for math, for teaching, and for his students is as infectious as his laugh, and truly embodies the spirit of Hope College and this award."
In teaching, the nomination said, he is attentive to student comprehension and dedicated to increasing students' confidence in mathematics, and consistently available to help outside of class—and not least of all is willing to keep the tone light by occasionally starting a class period with mathematics-themed poetry. As a research mentor, the nomination continued, he achieves an admirable balance between offering support and promoting independence. He was praised as an advisor on multiple levels, including working with individual mathematics majors and non-majors alike, in addition to involvement with the "Geek Life" student organization and the Math Club.
Cinzori has been a member of the Hope faculty since 2001, and has been serving as chairperson of the department since the fall of 2010. He teaches courses for mathematics majors as well as for non-majors, a range that across the past two years has included Advanced Differential Equations, Calculus I, College Geometry, a First-Year Seminar and Introductory Statistics. He also involves students in his ongoing research program during both the academic year and the summer.
He did both his undergraduate work and his graduate work at Michigan State University, completing bachelor's degrees in English and mathematics in 1990, a Master of Science degree in mathematics in 1993 and a doctorate in mathematics in 1998. Prior to coming to Hope he taught at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa.
Johnson has been a member of the Hope faculty since 2007. His research, on which he works collaboratively with Hope students during both the school year and summer, is on developing new organic reactivity catalyzed by transition metals.
He has received more than $1 million in external funding since coming to the college. His grants have included an Undergraduate New Investigator Grant from the American Chemical Society's Petroleum Research Fund (ACS-PRF); a five-year Camille and Henry Dreyfus Faculty Start-Up Award; a Research Corporation Cottrell College Science Award; a National Science Foundation (NSF) - Major Research Instrumentation award for a remotely accessible 400 MHz NMR spectrometer; and, earlier this year, a major award through the NSF's "Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program." In addition, the college named him a Towsley Research Scholar in January 2010, providing additional institutional support for his research program for four years.
He completed his bachelor's degree at Gustavus-Adolphus College in 2000, and his doctorate at the University of Wisconsin in 2004. Prior to coming to Hope, he served as a National Institutes of Health Postdoctoral Fellow at Colorado State University.

Looking for a hitting partner around my level in the plateau (Jeanne Mance) for weekday evenings and weekends.
My level is between a 3.5 and 4.0: weak serve, moderate backhand, good footwork and strong forehand. I have a good amount of variety in my style of play! Looking for someone that can play a couple times a week!
If it makes a difference, I'm 27 (your age is not important to me as long as you can keep up) and I'm really serious about tennis and looking to improve.

hey are you down to hit this afternoon- Ian
I can't this afternoon (working until 8pm), how about tomorrow morning?
I have a run booked with the girlfriend....Sunday...morning maybe..
Yeah that works for me, how about 10am?
Hi Khash,
I am available to play and work in front of the tennis on de l'esplanade (parc Jeanne-Mance). Let me know when you would like to play. I am available every evening (starting at 5:30) and early in the morning (8am) if you want to play saturday or sunday. Looking forward to play.
I am in, do you take care of booking? Let me know.
Sounds good! Let me know if it's confirmed.
Alright, I got 7pm, we're on court ten in Jeanne Mance tomorrow, we need to be there 15 minutes ahead of the time to pay: it costs 10$ for the whole hour, so essentially 5$ each. Does that work for you?
Hi Michael,
Are we still on for today at 7pm? I'm not sure what the weather will be like, so keep in touch. I added you as a friend so I can send you my phone number.
Ok yes- 10am what courts. PLS let me know when you have a moment today ; )

Photos of the 2010 Fashion's Night Out Fashion Show
Fashion's Night Out's Fashion Show Featured a Dancing Gisele, a Rapping Pharrell, and a Whole Lot of Designer Duds
>> The audience at tonight's Fashion's Night Out fashion show wasn't limited to the 1,500 ticket-holders — crowds gathered behind police barricades across the street from the Lincoln Center Plaza for a glimpse of New York City's largest fashion show. Those who were lucky enough to nab tickets to the show were treated to a concentric-circled runway setup, with rows no more than two deep. Not only that, but among the audience was a large smattering of designers — Tory Burch, Tommy Hilfiger, Diane von Furstenberg, Jenna Lyons, Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, Phillip Lim, Vera Wang, Francisco Costa, and Donna Karan among them; models — Lauren Hutton, Bar Rafaeli, Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann; and other industry figures, including Anna Wintour, with favorites Blake Lively and Roger Federer next to her, and Si Newhouse himself. Bee Shaffer arrived 45 minutes early to the event, holding hands with boyfriend Jake Hurwitz.
Anna Wintour's fears that the show, scheduled to start at 7:30 pm, would begin late were unmerited — it started on the dot with Alicia Keys's "Empire State of Mind" playing on the loudspeaker as spotlights searched the audience and the fountain in the center of the setup rose and then fell.
As the audience looked for Gisele Bundchen, set to open the show's 171 looks, a Fashion's Night Out doubledecker bus pulled up next to the Plaza, carrying Bundchen, Angela Lindvall, Karolina Kurkova, Coco Rocha, Lily Donaldson, Lara Stone, Jourdan Dunn, Caroline Trentini, Sasha Pivovarova, Adriana Lima, Chanel Iman, and Karlie Kloss, each dressed in a Fashion's Night Out tee paired with a long ballgown skirt and heels. The twelve models dismounted the bus one by one, forming a line in front of the Plaza steps as the rest of the 150 model cast filled in behind them.
Gisele leading the way, the twelve openers made their way around the fountain, soon followed by groups of models clipping by showcasing "Fifties Flair," "Tartan Twist," "Rock Chic," "Go Global," and "Jazz-Age Cool." Each group wormed their way around the circular runway, the models coming in quick succession, highly choreographed and sometimes stopping and turning. A few were suffering from their heels by the end — Rose Cordero and Heidi Mount among them — and those in the "Weekend Wrap-Up" group, all swathed in capes and jackets, had sweat rolling from their temples after all the parading, thanks to the humid Indian Summer air.
Pharrell Williams popped up on the center fountain to close the extravaganza in a surprise performance, and Gisele and the rest of the openers paraded and danced back to the bus, this time in full-on designer gowns, with Naomi Campbell in the finale spot. As Pharrell joined them, he encouraged the audience — ticketed and not — to shop New York, because after all, that was the whole point of this 15-minute shindig. So will it work?

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. - After averaging just over four goals a game last season, the Yale men's hockey team had scored only two goals in each of its first five games. But the Bulldogs finally found the offensive explosion they were looking for Saturday night, thanks in large part to senior forward Danny Otto. The senior forward tallied his first career points in grand fashion, scoring two goals in the Elis' best offensive showing of the season in a 4-0 win at Union.
The scoring started in a familiar place - with captain Brian O'Neill - who got the Bulldogs on the board with a power play goal. Defensemen Tommy Fallen and Kevin Peel assisted, the Elis' sixth power play goal of the season in 24 chances.
The Bulldogs continued to generate chance after chance until Danny Otto found the back of the net off a feed from freshman Nick Weberg. That was the first point of Otto's injury-riddled career, and came in just his seventh outing as a Bulldog.
"On the first goal, it was a great play by my linemates, Weberg and (Jesse) Root. A lot of hours went into achieving a moment like that. It was definitely worth it," said Otto.
Just 16 seconds later, fellow senior Charles Brockett added another, giving the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead off a feed from sophomore Kenny Agostino.
The Elis carried that lead to the intermission, and came out firing again in the second. Otto didn't wait long to grab his second career tally, scoring less than three minutes into the second period on a wrister, upping the Bulldog lead to four.
But the scoring stopped there for the Bulldogs, who were outshot 38-10 in the last two periods. Luckily, sophomore Jeff Malcolm recorded his third-straight shutout with an impressive 45 saves, giving him 111 saves over the past three games.
"He's been rock solid for us," Allain said. "We've relied on him back there and he's been there to make the big save when we needed it."
The story of the night, however, was Otto, who suffered an injury before his freshman season and has battled ever since just to be able to play. His two-goal outburst was an integral part of the Bulldogs' four goal output, which Allain cited as a starting point, rather than evidence, that the Elis are finally where they expect to be.
Nevertheless, the Bulldogs have settled in after a tough loss to Cornell last Friday night, and head into next Saturday night's non-conference showdown with UConn with some momentum. The Bulldogs have just two ECAC games - both against Brown - before breaking for the holidays, but have non-conference dates against perennial powers Boston College and UMass left before a three-week winter break.
"We've got a long way to go as a hockey team," Allain said. "But we saw some good things tonight."

I have always been a voracious reader, once my eyes began to form an understanding of letters, then words, then sentences, then paragraphs – I was hooked. I read and read and was offered children's books by teachers and librarians and I would pretend to read them but there would be forbidden tomes hidden inside Dr. Suess – like collections of Dear Abby columns and hints from Heloise and the greatest of all the household saints – Erma Bombeck.
I don't know why but when I was a child I was obsessed with the inner lives of housewives. I wanted to know what they struggled against, what they wanted, how they kept their homes and husbands and secretly and openly hated their children. These books scared me and enlightened me and made me grow up fast and furious.
I first learned of my writing ability when I was about 10, when my class got in trouble for unruliness as a group and our punishment was to write essays about what we had done. This I take a major issue with – teachers, do not use writing as punishment. It's damaging and crippling and ruthless and cruel. Do not make kids write sentences over and over and over and over as you will make them hate writing.
Writing is an art and a gift and a privilege and a lifesaver and if children learn that it is meant to be torture they will never discover that. They will forever associate writing with cramped hands and blurry vision and there will be a generation of writers whose writing could have saved the world that will never come to be because you couldn't think of anything better to keep them in line.
Because of writing sentences as punishment I incorrectly hold pencils. I lay them in between my second and third finger rather than gripping them between my thumb and index finger. It's really weird and fucked up looking and I did it because i had to write sentences so much when I was a kid from repeatedly getting in trouble and so my hands would actually bleed.
Thankfully my father let me use his typewriter or I would have never have blossomed as a writer like I eventually did. And of course thank god (Mac) for powerbooks. This machine kills fascists. The essay that made me realize I was a writer was handwritten. It was a scathing criticism of the teacher and the values held by the school. It was personal and it was nasty and it was sarcastic and I wish that I could print here what was written there, but the essay was handed in and then sent directly to the principals office along with yours truly some hours later.
The principal, i think her name was Shirley Merrill, a Nervous Nellie of a woman, all bones and tight skirts and white turtlenecks and gold chains and what I am sure was some kind of frothy blonde wig that did nothing for her looks except make the cartilage in all her joints stand out in greatly unflattering relief breathed hard as she read my essay aloud back to me.
She read passages, which I cannot remember now (damn I wish I did) and then said, "I must admit this is good writing but…." and then proceeded to try to punish me verbally, but not having really anything to say except compliments, couldn't really go anywhere with it. She knew I was smart and she couldn't punish me for it. She knew what I had produced was satire, but she didn't understand it and she didn't know what to do with it and so she just kind of sputtered out. I left the principals office and wandered in the weird dead space between the classrooms and the teachers lounge and took a long way back because I treasured the silence of the hallways and the kids all in their desks and me free to roam without even a heavy wooden hall pass or a need to go to the bathroom.
Later, I stood by the teachers lounge where an intense cluster of polyester clad men and women who were younger than I am now sat together and gossiped in hushed voices as they smoked More and Pall Mall cigarettes (!!!!!!). I listened as they read my essay aloud to each other. I heard my words bandied about and there were accusations of plagiarism, but that was argued because the insults were too specific, too spot-on – where could i have copied them? They laughed at my jokes and my astute, tight as a drum writing and they agreed that I should be punished, but they were at a loss trying to figure out how.
I believe I paid for my indulgence with a call to my parents, who didn't really seem to care about it because they were just too tired from working day and night, and some afterschool detentions which consisted of me sitting in an empty classroom with a physical education teacher (later fired for allegedly sleeping with a student) silently doing my homework until the sky grew dark. So no big deal really and for once I didn't even get molested.
In the end, I felt like I won something. I realized that my words had power. The way I put them together had a charge and an electricity and an energy that I could use to hurt and maim but also praise and worship. I learned that pleasure of committing ideas to paper and that the things I thought in my head had little trouble on their way through my heart and into my hands. I was a writer then, and I am one now. And I am good.

Chelsea Clinton's wedding along the Hudson River will be under a no-fly zone.
The Federal Aviation Administration says local airspace will be restricted from 3 p.m. Saturday to 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, will wed investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday evening in Rhinebeck. That's about 90 miles north of New York City.
IN PICTURES: Chelsea Clinton through the years
FAA spokesman Jim Peters said Thursday that decisions to restrict air space are made in consultation with other federal agencies. He could not confirm whether the Secret Service requested this one.
The FAA website says the restriction will be in place for "VIP (Very Important Person) Movement" but did not elaborate.
Security experts said the list of people qualifying for VIP status is limited to the highest of government officials — and that former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton would qualify.
"It's good policy. You do have a former president showing up at a big event; it's only prudent that the FAA does this," said Michael Boyd, airline consultant and president of the Boyd Group International in Evergreen, Colo.
There were no indications Thursday that access to the Hudson River near the estate was being similarly restricted. Sgt. Michael Dampf of the Dutchess County Sheriff's marine patrol said it planned no operational changes Saturday and had not received any restriction notices from the U.S. Coast Guard.
Amtrak, which runs passenger trains along the river, expected no changes in service Saturday, said spokesman Cliff Cole.

Hi all,
Just joined the forums for now. Thinking of buying a mk2 and looking for some advice.
I've seen s mk3 but it's probably out of my price range.
Need to convince my wife that I am having a mid life crisis!
Also slightly worried about insurance as I've been and still am a company car driver. This will be for weekends and evenings.
Thanks for any advice.

OKALOOSA ISLAND � If a California sea lion came to the Northwest Florida Daily News to have a blood sample drawn, I�m pretty sure I would be able to help it out.
Last week I wrote about my day working with the trainers at the Gulfarium. But that wasn�t all I did there that day.
About half of my time was spent working with Drs. Rebecca Wells and Elizabeth Petermann from Bayside Hospital for Animals on Racetrack Road. Bayside owner Dr. Forrest Townsend has worked with the Gulfarium since 1978 and offered to let me spend some time with his vets at park.
Getting to see and be part of the medical staff that treats the animals, even for just a day, was a truly special experience.
The vets and the trainers work hand in hand. Just as the animals are trained to perform stunts and shows for the public, they also are trained to help the vets do their regular checkups.
The best place to draw blood from a sea lion is the veins of its back flippers. So the sea lions are trained to let the vets touch, move and even prick their back flippers without attacking. We didn�t need to draw any blood for testing while I was there, but Dr. Wells did walk me through it.
Even more impressive than that was how the dolphins have been trained to let the vets test their stomach contents for bacteria or infection. Without having to put the animals under anesthesia or remove them from the water, the dolphins let the vets insert a clear plastic tube down their throats to their stomachs to make sure the liquid that comes out in the tube looks clear and healthy.
Thankfully, the doctors took care of the inserting and didn�t ask me to help with that one. It was strange enough just to watch.
I did get to assist in collecting a mucus sample from a dolphin, which is trained to shoot out a strong blast of air from its blowhole.
The most hands-on I got with the animals, other than getting to feed an Asian small clawed otter while Dr. Petermann checked its breathing, was with the sea turtles. They are part of the Gulfarium�s Sea Turtle C.A.R.E. Program, which helps rehabilitate and release sick or injured turtles.
Among the turtles there now are some hatchling loggerheads, a Kemps Ridley that was found floating and distressed, and a green turtle that had been attacked by a shark.
The doctors let me help treat the green turtle�s wounds. I�m very happy to report that the turtle, which lost part of its right front flipper and had large gashes across its shell, is recovering and should be released back into the wild after the water warms.
I can definitely say the animals at the Gulfarium are treated well. The veterinarians and trainers who watch out for them really do care, and it shows.
Contact Daily News Business Editor Dusty Ricketts at 850-315-4448 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @DustyRnwfdn.
Q&A with Dr. Rebecca Wells from Bayside Hospital for Animals:
Dusty: How did I do?
Rebecca: You did wonderful. You followed directions correctly. You listened to your trainers. We always use our trainers to protect us so that we�re safe while we�re examining these animals, and you did a wonderful job.
D: What type of experience do you look for?
R: As a veterinarian, you need a four-year undergraduate degree and then a four-year veterinary medical degree. Then you need good contacts and some volunteer experience at some marine facilities to be able to get into the industry.
D: What is the average salary?
R: That depends on the location and the facility. As a veterinarian coming out of school at a small-animal veterinarian practice, they�re expected to make $60,000 a year. Probably maximum � if you were at the Bahamas and didn�t have to pay taxes � maybe $200,000, but that is not the norm. Most people do it because they love it, not because of the money.
D: Am I hirable?
R: You could be an intern, probably, or a veterinary technician. We can definitely use an extra set of hands sometimes, and as much as we can train the animals, I�m sure we can train you.

PSY's "Gentleman" video banned by South Korean broadcaster
A major South Korean broadcaster says it has banned PSY's new music video because the rapper is shown abusing public property.
The "Gentleman" video opens with PSY kicking a cone that says "no parking."}
State-funded KBS said Thursday the scene doesn't meet its standards as a public broadcaster. Two spokesmen say KBS has banned other videos for similar reasons in the past.
They spoke anonymously because they say it is the broadcaster's company policy.
"Gentleman" was released last week on YouTube as a follow-up to PSY's viral "Gangnam Style." It features a fast-paced electro pop song and has surpassed 139 million views.
"Gangnam Style" brought the 35-year-old singer global fame. It is YouTube's most watched video with 1.5 billion views since its release last summer.

"This Is 40" is every inch a Judd Apatow movie, from the pop culture references and potty mouths to the blunt body humor and escapist drug use. Like all the movies he's directed — and it's amazing to think there have only been three previous ones, given his name-brand value — it's a good 20 minutes too long.
But within that affectionately messy sprawl lies a maturation, an effort to convey something deeper, more personal and more substantive. That goes beyond the casting of his real-life wife, Leslie Mann, as half of the couple in question, and the Apatow children, Maude and Iris, as the family's daughters in this sort-of sequel to the 2007 hit "Knocked Up." (That film's stars, Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl, are nowhere to be found, by the way. Which is fine.)
As writer and director, Apatow seems more interested in finding tough nuggets of truth than easy laughs. You can see a bit more clearly what he was aiming for with the ambitious failure of the serious, self-indulgent "Funny People" from 2009. Much of the banter between longtime Los Angeles marrieds Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Mann) can be very funny, but frequently it's raw and painful as they have the kind of conversations about kids, finances and sex that might make many people in the audience feel an uncomfortable shiver of familiarity.
The film takes place during the three-week period when Pete and Debbie are both turning 40 (although Debbie likes to pretend she's still 38). Birthday parties, fights about money, giddy getaways, school confrontations, bratty kid flare-ups and awkward attempts at reconciling with parents are among the many events that occur during this vulnerable time of transition. It's like "Scenes From a Marriage," but with poop jokes.
Although they would seem to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, Pete wonders whether his passion project, the niche record label he founded, can survive. Debbie wonders whether either of the two young women who work at the cutesy boutique she owns is stealing from her. (One of them is played by Megan Fox in a surprisingly funny, disarmingly self-aware send-up of her own spectacular sensuality.) Pubescent daughter Sadie (a confident, expressive Maude Apatow) is wondering what the hell is wrong with her parents, while youngster Charlotte (an adorably goofy Iris Apatow) wonders what the hell is wrong with the big sister she used to know and love.
Fox's performance is actually a great little microcosm of the film as a whole, and the expectations it upends. You think it's this comfy depiction of a good-looking family that has it all, one that seems more than a little smug from Apatow, given the autobiographical elements that abound. But then he keeps poking holes in that facade until eventually he's torn the whole thing down and the family itself appears to be on the brink of destruction.
Debbie and Pete search for answers — hey, maybe they can blame their parents' mistakes for the mistakes they're making now! — but eventually understand that they must look inward and support each other. This sounds like a pat, feel-good realization but it doesn't come easily. These are people who rarely handle things well, from a discussion with the middle school principal to a visit with an estranged father. (The terrific supporting cast features Albert Brooks as Pete's dad and John Lithgow as Debbie's.) Rudd's puppy-doggish, everyman likability still serves him well after all these years, and while Mann is humorously sharp and sometimes a bit too screechy, there's also more depth to her performance than she's been called upon to show before.
If "This Is 40" feels a bit unsatisfying at the end, perhaps that's because it's meant as an interlude, a snapshot, a moment in time as the title suggests. It's the feel-bad comedy of the holiday season — and that's what makes it good.
'This Is 40' a raw, funny snapshot
"This Is 40" is every inch a Judd Apatow movie, from the pop culture references and potty mouths to the blunt body humor and escapist drug use. Like all the movies he's directed — and it's amazing to think there have only been three previous ones, given his name-brand value — it's a good 20 minutes too long.

7K2 - Silver Nemesis 2
The beginning of Part Two perks up with the first appearance in three years of the Cybermen, now shinier and, perhaps in a tribute to the Fifth Doctor's affinity with cricket, equipped with cricket gloves painted silver. (As an aside, I made a Cyberman costume as a teenager and felt justified in taping up my hockey gloves - that's ice hockey for you outside of North America - with aluminum foil based on what was done to create the new Cybermen costumes here.) A Nazi soldier opens fire on the Cybermen, which has no effect, after which the Cyberleader (played again by David Banks, who is always awesome) shouts what was possibly intended to be their new catchphrase "Eradicate them!". Great! Now this story is starting to pick up steam after a shaky start!
Ah, wait. A weak smoke effect emits out of a Cyberman's gun, and a somewhat limp and ineffective gun battle ensues. I remember watching The Making of Silver Nemesis, which heavily featured this scene, and director Chris Clough promised that the new Cyberguns would be a "flying photon pulse" akin to the new Dalek weaponry seen earlier in the season. Video effects wizard Dave Chapman is even seen on set to validate these claims! But no. A puff of smoke is now the new Cybergun effect. A puff of smoke.
But remember when the Nazis' guns failed to even dent the Cybermen's chest units? Well, they should have tried gold tipped arrows fired from a long distance, because that is precisely what wipes out at least two Cybermen in this battle when Lady Peinforte manages to destroy a Cyberman with a bow and arrow at 50 paces when she couldn't hit a dormant pigeon at 20 paces in the previous episode. As Harry Sullivan said in Revenge of the Cybermen, gold is a particularly soft metal. So why would anyone make arrowheads out of it??? It's just another of the staggering coincidences that propel this story along, like the enormous amount of trust the Nazis place in the fact that the Nemesis bow they're all protecting is probably still in its case so there isn't any reason to check it if it's there until the very end of the episode.
And then there are the skinheads, who serve precisely zero purpose whatsoever to the story, and are only slightly less superfluous than the Cyber-controlled Walkmen (yes, they're called the Walkmen, because these particular men walk, apparently), who appear and disappear with no regularity through the course of the story.
And the story gets even worse from here on in.

text: I am a new kid on the block. I have never exhibited any of my work, except as an art student very long time ago. I will certainly be thrilled if I receive any comments from the viewers.As for my background: I have master's degree in communication arts/ graphic design and have extensive work experience. For over 25 years I was owner/president of creative design firm, AQ Graphics, Incorporated in New York, U.S.A. Now retired, have started to paint - again. I have keen interest in photography too and have been clicking during my various trips throughout this wonderful world.For me esthetics is a major consideration in designing each piece. The focus is to create paintings that have visual beauty, harmony in colors plus interesting composition. I am especially interested in creating variety of textures by using all kind of instruments. My work is mostly stylized, modern and or subjective. Recently I have started to study my new passion which is to create art aligned with Vastu Shastra/Feng Shui: an ancient science with tradition dating back 5000 years (India) and Feng Shui 3000 years (China), Feng means wind and Shui means water. The ancient philosophers knew a lot about the five elements that made the universe. These five elements are: Earth, Water, Fire, Air (wind), and Space. There is an invisible relation between these five elements. Understanding these five natural sources and coordinating with them in harmony can certainly attract positive energy and assure better health.I am convinced that anything we see around us affects our thinking and how we feel. As it is said that beauty is in the eyes of beholder, similarly any art that evoke a positive response in the viewer and is pleasant to see repeatedly affects viewer's mood, uplifts inner energy, and thus helps reduce stress in every day life.As for my work - I am never satisfied but I find the one interesting enough when I like to look at it again and again and again. The field of fine art, to me, is like a deep vast ocean always scary yet fascinating. Nature never ceases to amaze me. I watch sunset almost every day but yet have not seen two of them exactly alike, every time it is so different than the one before! I feel like watching it again and again and again. At present I live in the Caribbean.

5 things to know about Tennessee's electric chair
Under a new state law in effect since Tuesday, July 1, 2014, Tennessee is allowed to use the electric chair to execute death row prisoners if it can't obtain drugs needed for lethal injections
By Erik Schelzig
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tennessee — A law took effect this week in Tennessee making it the first U.S. state to have the option of executing death row inmates with the electric chair if drugs for lethal injections are not available. Billy Ray Irick, who was convicted of murder in the death of a 7-year-old girl he was babysitting in 1985, is the next Tennessee death row inmate scheduled to be executed, on Oct. 7. Corrections officials have said they have no lethal injection drugs on hand but are confident they can obtain them when needed. Here are five things to know about the state's electric chair:
Tennessee is one of several states to nickname its electric chair 'Old Sparky.' The chair was built out of the gallows used by the state before it abolished hangings in 1913. A replacement chair was built in 1989, but it kept the old wooden back legs. The original chair that was retired after 125 electrocutions is now on display at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in Gatlinburg, while the new chair is stored in the state's execution chamber in Nashville alongside the lethal injection equipment.
Fred Leuchter, the Massachusetts man who rebuilt Tennessee's electric chair in 1989, has taken issue with subsequent decreases in the voltage and duration of the jolts, arguing that they make it more likely for theinmate to feel pain and to "cook the executee and boil his blood." But Leuchter said his concerns have been ignored because of statements he's made in the past claiming historians have inflated the number of Holocaust victims during World War II.
The last person to be electrocuted in Tennessee was convicted child killer Daryl Holton, who in 2007 chose to die via the electric chair. The state's medical examiner later found that Holton suffered minor burns on his head and legs, but had no signs of severe burning, disfigurement or other major injuries like those that had occurred in some other electrocutions around the country. Under previous law, death row inmates convicted before lethal injection was introduced in 1999 could choose to die by electrocution.
Correction Commissioner Derrick Schofield has expressed confidence that procedures and testing on the electric chair have been sufficient to put it back into regular use. Records obtained by The Associated Press show that an electrician — whose identity is redacted under state law — tests the chair each year to confirm that "the equipment will execute an inmate." The testing is meant to confirm the chair will deliver 1,750 volts at 7 amps over 20 seconds, disengage for 15 seconds, and then re-engage for another 15 seconds.
Tennessee's death penalty procedures came under scrutiny in 2007 when its 100-page "Manual of Execution" turned out to be a jumble of conflicting instructions that mixed up guidelines for lethal injections and the electric chair. For example, the document instructed executioners to shave a prisoner's head before a lethal injection, and to have a fire extinguisher nearby. Executions were put on hold while the state re-wrote the manual.

Crickets causing a stink in Texas city
WACO - Several businesses in the Central Texas town of Waco are dealing with a smelly problem that won't go away: decaying cricket carcasses.
A bank, a drugstore and other businesses have been inundated with the odorous onslaught of dead crickets that have been trapped inside walls and have collected on sidewalks.
Jani Rodriguez, the branch manager at Synergy Bank, tells the Waco Tribune-Herald that scented products have been unable to get rid of the smell. Using air-scrubbing machines hasn't worked either.
Fred Huffman, an entomologist who runs a local pest control business, says the cricket problem has been worse this year because mild winter conditions resulted in the insects appearing earlier than normal.
Health officials say the crickets don't pose any direct health risks.

Kanepi wins twice to capture Brussels Open
Brussels, Belgium – Kaia Kanepi of Estonia won a pair of matches Saturday to capture the Brussels Open.
Kanepi first posted a straight-set win over American Jamie Hampton in the semifinals, then knocked off China's Peng Shuai, 6-2, 7-5, in the final to earn her fourth career WTA title. She won twice last year, first in Brisbane and then in Estoril, and will head to the French Open with momentum from a strong month of May.
A quarterfinalist at the French Open last year and also in 2008, clay appears to suit Kanepi. She reached the semifinals in Portugal to start May and lost to Maria Sharapova in the Madrid quarterfinals prior to this week's run to the championship.
Kanepi, now 4-4 all-time in finals, earned a first prize of $120,000. She is scheduled to face Klara Zakopalova in the first round of the French Open next week.
Peng, who was seeded eighth this week, fell to 0-5 all-time in finals. She also lost in the title match of this event two years ago, falling to Caroline Wozniacki.
Rain this week forced the semifinals and final to be staged Saturday.
Peng went three sets in Saturday's semifinals against Switzerland's Romina Oprandi before running out of gas in her first-ever matchup with Kanepi. Camila Giorgi awaits Peng in the first round at Roland Garros next week.

let's stop asking all the wrong questions

let's stop asking our kids what they want to be when they grow up and start asking ourselves how they should grow up.
let's stop asking high school graduates where they're going to college and start asking where they're going in life.
let's stop asking college graduates if they've found a job and start asking if they've made their purpose.
let's stop asking workers if they're climbing up the ladder and start asking if they see that the ladder is endless.
let's stop asking our grandchildren if they know how the world used to be and start asking them if they know how the world still needs to be.
let's stop asking all the wrong questions and start asking all the right ones.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I hate that question.
I'm very goal-driven with the things that I think need direction. And I have a strong sense of my personal and career-related values.
But I still hate that question.
So years ago when the teacher in charge of my high school yearbook asked it to me and everyone else in the Top 10, our conversation was quite interesting:
Nathan: I don't know.
Yearbook Advisor: You have to know.
Nathan: No, I don't. I don't know.
Yearbook Advisor: Everyone else has something listed.
Nathan: And that means I have to follow the crowd?
Yearbook Advisor: Yes. The Top 10 should be setting an example for everyone else.
Nathan: Well, I'm sorry, but I really don't know and I think this is as much of a good example as everyone else's answer. If you're that desperate, you can pick something for me and include it in the yearbook.
Well, months passed and the yearbook was finally published. I flipped to the career plans page for the Top 10, and apparently the advisor wrote "Engineer or pro wrestler" under my photo. (Yes, this is a true story.) I'm Asian and had a reputation of being good at math, but an engineer was possibly the only thing I knew I didn't want to be.
I found this story funny, but I think there was an important takeaway for myself and for others:
Okay, back to that ugly question and all its flaws. What do you want to be when you grow up? If you're aspiring to be something like a writer, musician, anthropologist, chef, teacher, mechanic, or social worker, you better own up to it and correct your interviewer. You already are that writer, musician, anthropologist, chef, teacher, mechanic, or social worker. It's not something you want to be when you grow up. It's something you live and breathe already.
If you want anyone to consider your seriousness for a career, you need to give a role to yourself. You could say you're a "teacher" if teaching others is what you often informally do, even if you don't stand in front of a chalkboard every day. I suppose you can't really say you're a doctor or politician to people yet, but you could still say you're a healer or a liar…
Instead of asking yourself what you want to be, ask yourself who you are and what you value. Take an inventory of your strengths and personality traits. Then reflect on what kind of effect and difference you'd like to make in the world. While the answers to these questions are open to change throughout your life, they will stay a lot more consistent than "what you want to be." In addition, they'll invite you to explore a lot more opportunities that will help you act on your values.
Years after my high school graduation, I finally figured out part of my life. Some of my main values are educating people, inspiring people, and empowering people. When I leave this world, I want it to be a more loving, compassionate, understanding, forgiving, and connected place. I act on these values by mixing some careers together: teacher, counselor, consultant, writer, filmmaker, juggler, entertainer. These titles may change—and I may encounter new ones I like—but my values will always stay the same. My values are soaked into all of these fields. In all my art, I'm always teaching about love and compassion. Even as a juggler, I strive to dazzle my audience and make them laugh together. In a sense, I hope they are connected during my act and can forget about their differences or worries for the day.
I think it's perfectly fine, and probably even normal, to not know what you want to be. You have plenty of choices in the future, and you wouldn't want to trap yourself into just one. But you need to always think about what gift you can give to the world.
Life is about acting on values, not chasing titles.

Using Ozone & MInerals in Pools
Imagine that our pugilist here, with the blue gloves, is delivering a 1-2 round to his opponent - pool bacteria and algae, and he's doing it without using chlorine!
Nothing against chlorine, it's a fine sanitizer, and world health would suffer without it's many disinfectant uses, but for those looking for another way to sanitize a small backyard pool, without reliance on stabilized or calcified chlorine products - read on.
This would not be useful advice for the commercial pool operator, who has to keep a halogen residual in the pool at all times, by state law - but if you are an owner of a small backyard pool that has just a few users - read on.
Minerals & Ozone & MPS as Primary Sanitizer
Minerals, like copper, silver and zinc have natural bacteriostatic and algaestatic properties. This has been known for ages. In the 70's fountainhead technologies developed a way to deliver trace amounts of mineral ions to water as it passed through a small vessel. Nature2 was their product, which was followed years later by Frog, and more recently by Pool Rx.
The O3 molecule, or Ozone gas, is created for pools by wall mounted ozonators, and delivered into the water via injection manifolds, with a venturi that draws the gas into a mixing chamber. The O3 molecule is very unstable and immediately attacks everything it comes in contact with during the 2-4 seconds spent inside the pipe. After it enters the pool, ozone continues to sanitize, until it ultimately gasses off of the pool surface.
MPS? If you're wondering what that is - I mean Monopersulfate, or non-chlorine shock. This will oxidize the water to remove any contaminants not killed by your mineral and ozone treatments. Use 1 lb per 10,000 gals, every few weeks, or weekly during very hot periods.
Algaecides may be necessary, if your pool becomes infected, or if you have a history of algae. If yellow algae develops, you may need to use chlorine for a time, to effectively kill a yellow algae bloom. You can also use enzymes or clarifiers if needed to improve water quality.
Ozone is the more powerful of the two sanitizers, but using both ozone and minerals together will have a synergistic effect on the contaminant levels in the pool. However, there is one more very important piece to the puzzle - if you want to be completely chlorine-free - read on.
Big Filter - Small Pump
In order to further compensate for the lack of chlorine in your pool, you'll want to have the best filtration you can get. In most cases, this would mean a large DE filter, or Large Cartridge filter - but maybe not a sand filter, or any filter that is undersized.
Ozone production stops when the pump stops, unless you use the Total Eclipse ozonator. Since you will need to filter the water more often than with a chlorine pool you may want a smaller, more efficient pool pump, a 2-speed pump or a variable speed pump, to allow you to circulate and filter the water more often for continuous purification.
Equipment Recommendations
For pools up to 25,000 gallons, use a Nature2 Express unit and either the Total Eclipse (if you can install a deep end floor ozone bubbler), or the Eclipse 4 ozonator. Remember that good filtration and circulation is also important, in addition to balanced water chemistry and regular shocking with chlorine-free pool shock.

Immigration passes key Senate test
The Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly agreed to launch a major effort to rewrite U.S. immigration laws, setting the stage for weeks of debate on securing the nation's borders, legalizing undocumented residents and modernizing the country's immigration system.
Senators voted 82-15 to move forward on the Gang of Eight immigration bill; 60 votes were needed for passage. All 15 votes against the motion were from Republicans. The bill cleared a second procedural vote later Tuesday.
Story Continued Below
Most senators, eager to work on the bill and leave their own imprints in what could be a landmark piece of legislation, were expected to agree to open debate, although it doesn't guarantee their support on final passage.
The biggest surprise came from Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), a moderate Republican who is a top target for reform backers. Kirk said he wasn't satisfied with how the bill handled border security. He praised a plan from Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who has outlined tougher security benchmarks that must be met before newly legalized immigrants can become permanent residents.
( PHOTOS: Pols react to immigration deal)
I've always said border security first, and I actually mean that procedurally," Kirk told POLITICO after the vote. "If [the] Cornyn [amendment] can pass, then that opens the door for me."
The overwhelming bipartisan vote gives the Gang of Eight room to negotiate, but finding an acceptable approach to tightening border security is emerging as major challenge for the bipartisan coalition.
Top Senate Republicans such as Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Cornyn said earlier they would agree to start debate, but McConnell made it clear he's not happy with the measure as written.
McConnell, in his sharpest language yet on the immigration bill, criticized several "serious flaws" he saw in the legislation – particularly in the areas of border security and government benefits for immigrants. The top Senate Republican said Cornyn's proposal is a "key amendment" that would improve the bill's border-security provisions.
"I'll vote to debate it and for the opportunity to amend it," he said Tuesday morning. "But in the days ahead, there will need to be major changes to this bill if it's going to become law."
( PHOTOS: At a glance: The Senate immigration deal)
Many Republicans who are seen as the likeliest votes in favor of the Gang of Eight immigration bill voted to move forward on the debate. They include Republicans such as Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, Dean Heller of Nevada, and Rob Portman of Ohio.
The second vote later Tuesday was 84-15. This time, Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) voted with Republicans against the procedural motion, while Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) voted to proceed to the bill.

testimonials & students abroad
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places." - Roald Dahl
"Studying abroad has opened a door for my personal growth in terms of independence
and open-mindedness...My daily life has changed 180 degrees," said Melody Rueangrung, Australia (ISEP Direct). She adds, "I feel like the last six months of my life
was an awesome TV show that unexpectedly ended because of low funding."
Siobhan Murray's experiences were equally amazing, and she had the opportunity to travel in Europe while studying at Queen Margaret University in Scotland via the QMU/SCSU Exchange. "While traveling in other countries, I always tried to blend into my surroundings, and it often made meeting people much easier."

Tom T. Hall's "I Like Beer" came in at #47 on the Top 100 Drinking Songs list.
It's a swell tune, if not the most subtle of songs. Heck, the title pretty much says it all. We'd only have one quibble. We think that whiskey is just fine, thank you. And vodka certainly serves an important purpose in the world.
We'll let the song and the lyrics speak for themselves. We do indeed like beer.
"In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears
I like beer
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer
It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow
(Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough champagne costs too much
And vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain
As a matter of fact I like beer
(He likes beer)
My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
While I yell as the waiter goes by
I like beer...
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
All the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine
I like beer...
(Yes he likes beer)"
Tom T. Hall: I Like Beer (mp3)
Please support your local brewer.

A therapist perhaps would do the trick.
This is something that maybe you should have brought up before you got married. Why now are you losing sleep and can't eat? You kind of knew this going in. Whats the difference between 7 and 20. According to you it should have only been two, you and her ex? So what about the other five guys? The first five where okay, and the next 12 were not?
This is all you dude. The past is the past is the past. Why ruin your marriage and stress yourself out over a non-issue. And you wonder why she doesn't want to talk about it? Well, you try and pry out information from her that makes you think of her in a bad way. Things that happened before she even knew you. And normal human everyday things at that.
Lets say 1 in 12 people in the world today will have sex. Probably about of a quarter of a billion will be unmarried, or single. Think about that: 250 million single people are going to have sex within the next 24 hours. She didn't murder anyone, she just lived her life before she met you. So why would she try and make herself look bad in your eyes about something she no longer has any control of.
So I really think you should talk to someone who knows about human psychology way more than me. Otherwise you are going to throw your marriage in the toilet.
Good luck with everything. Get some help. This is really something small and not worth ruining things over.

Victor Dubuisson kept his cool in the face of a high-profile chasing pack to earn his first European Tour victory as Henrik Stenson just stayed top the Race To Dubai at the Turkish Airlines Open by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Despite France's Dubuisson heading into the final round with a five-shot lead, there were many that believed he would succumb to the pressure of having the likes of Ian Poulter, Tiger Woods, Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson hot on his heels.
He dispelled those beliefs with a masterful performance that belied his tender years, picking up the title and subsequent €848,930 prize on the back of a near-flawless 69.
While the 23 year old's victory represented a worthy story in itself, the Race standings quickly came into focus, too, with The European Tour's season finale just days away.
It is still Stenson, aiming to take the honours on both sides of the Atlantic following his FedEx Cup triumph, who leads the way following his seventh-placed finish.
He holds around a 214,000-point lead over Rose, with Poulter sitting just behind in fourth having ended this event joint sixth.
While that will take central importance over the coming week, there was little doubt who today belonged to.
"I don't know how to describe it," said Dubuisson. "Now I don't realise what's happening. I felt so much pressure on the last hole.
"Holing this putt on 17 was like; it was incredible. It was incredible, and the birdie on 18, it's a bonus.
"But even on the last putt, I was feeling so much stress. After this day, it was the longest day on the course that I've ever had. I'm very proud of what I did."
Despite his advantage, Dubuisson continued to show positive intent throughout his round – even if his scoring did not indicate such.
Indeed, nine successive pars on the front nine hardly illustrated the positivity being shown by the Frenchman.
He picked things up immediately after the turn, his decision to take on the par five tenth paying dividends as a first birdie arrived.
With pars continuing to come easily it seemed there would only be one winner, only for a stunning Jamie Donaldson intervention.
The Welshman had appeared on the periphery of the leading pack for much of the day, yet exploded on the way in.
Birdies on ten, 11, 13 and 15 overshadowed a drop at 12 to move him to 19 under, and then came something special on 16.
Taking dead aim at flag on the par three, he pitched to five feet and watched his ball roll on and into the hole.
His 21 under par would soon be good for a tie at the top as, moments later, Dubuisson missed a par putt at 14 for a first dropped shot since the second round.
The Frenchman responded with a fine birdie at the next yet, following a par on 17, Donaldson followed up a fine tee shot at the last with a stunning approach.
However, he failed with a 20 foot eagle putt and, after his birdie set a clubhouse target of 22 under, Dubuisson again found the perfect response, draining a 25 footer on 17 to move ahead.
With only a par needed, the par five 18th was the perfect place to tee up and he responded by producing a birdie that took his score to 24 under.
That was enough to leave him two strokes ahead of Donaldson and four in front of Rose, Poulter and Woods.
For the English duo, this week still represents something of a triumph, for they have boosted their chances of being crowned Champion Of Europe.
US Open Champion Rose did so with a stunning 65, an effort that could have been even better but for a drop at 14 and a particularly disappointing one on the last.
He said: "I think I've gained some ground, yeah, for sure. It's nice to be able to control your own fate next week.
"So if I go in and have a good week, win a golf tournament, which is obviously the aim any time you tee it up; but if I go ahead and do that, that's going to obviously be the exact scenario I'm looking for. Fifth last week, probably tied for third this week, I like the way that's trending towards No. 1."
Poulter had provided a valiant chase to the eventual victory for much of the day but, having picked up four shots in the opening 11 holes, managed a sole birdie, a bogey and five pars over the last seven.
For Stenson, the final round was another example of his spirit as he continued to battle through a troublesome wrist injury and finally found some momentum on the back nine.
Having struggled mightily in an outward 36, he found the strength to pick up four birdies on the way in and subsequently end just two shots adrift of Rose and one behind Poulter.
"I'm still happy with the Top 10 and thanks to a few of the other guys, yeah, I've still got the lead heading into the last week," he said.
"My preparation is going to be less than I would have liked (due to his wrist), but again, I've played Jumeirah Golf Estates so many times, so hopefully I shouldn't have to be further behind than he need to due to that.
"So the most important thing is to get healthy long-term, and be able to play next week."
Woods, meanwhile, began and ended his round in fine style but was ultimately undermined by a rocky period in the middle.

Mt. St. Helen's Drive July 1st, ANY interest?
So years ago we had several successful drives up north (thanks to Troy!), gatherings up north (thanks to Earl!) and several surprisingly decent drives in SW WA/ N. OR organized by Mark and I. And mostly due to all the awesome SVX owners that came to all the events! And although the Gorge Drive still goes down as us "Portland area" guys moment of glory, Mark and I are looking to put together something a little simpler/ easier in hopes of reliving the glory days, so.... We are thinking of revisiting the Mt. St. Helen's Drive once again! It is our hope that something a bit more centrally located allows convenience for everyone, as it was pointed out as a positive the last time we did this drive (we did it twice, with good turn out before! Even the "All Fog Edition"). The drive itself CAN BE ADJUSTED to ad miles based on interest. The actual drive up and back from i-5 to the Mt. St. Helen's Johnston Creek Observatory is a bit over 2 hours of ACTUAL driving there and back from Castle Rock (its a little over 100 miles round trip). Of course, there will be "stops" and opportunity to hang out at the observatory itself...AND late lunch/ early dinner options.
I know its been many years since our last drive . Not sure who is still around, and who is new that would like to join, but if you are, please let us know! I know Le (who isnt on the forum) is interested and I will be contacting him to see about his availability. Plus I will be checking in with both the SVX and XT/XT6 group on Facebook, who are both VERY active.
Details "So Far"
When: SATURDAY JULY 1st, 2017. 10am meet and greet.
What: MT. ST. HELENS SCENIC DRIVE
Where: TBD. Start up most likely to be in Castle Rock, WA area. They have a Park and Ride that I assume may be "clear" on a Saturday
Questions? Comments? Bueller?
In the past we did awards, and fun little gifts. If enough buzz occurs, I'd totally be willing to do that again. Anyone still have their Alcyone Key Chains from the Gorge Drive? I do! lol. Plus my award for loudest stereo...which wasn't really all that loud at all

Re: Mt. St. Helen's Drive July 1st, ANY interest?
I'm interested!
Re: Mt. St. Helen's Drive July 1st, ANY interest?
That was a beautiful drive when we did it a few years back!
Can't make anything in July, but I'll be back in the NW for the 2nd half of Aug and first week of Sept I believe.
I'm in love with a twenty-five-year-old black girl named Sue.

any events for this year? I have 8 svx's{7 1992s, 1 1994}, and am driving an ebony black 92 at this time. I am rather poor at emailing,etc. and am retiring and thinking about selling all of my collection. they range from the 94 with 60,000 miles to just bare bodies, 6 good engines and transmissions, and lots of misc. parts. do you know anyone who might be interested in the whole collection? I don't know if I am allowed to post my phone number or not and don't want 86ed from this site.
