Brigham Young: American Moses?
January 12th, 2013
Brigham Young was a rough-hewn transient from New York whose life was electrified by the Mormon faith. He married more than 50 women, and transformed a barren desert into his vision of the Kingdom of God. In his new biography Brigham Young: Pioneer Prophet, John Turner (George Mason University) explores Young's thirty-year battle with the U.S Government for the control of Utah, his polygamous marriages, and his role in the massacre of settlers who came out west. Also featured: Since 1950, the South has undergone the most dramatic political transformation of any region in the United States. In their new book Quentin Kidd (Christopher Newport University) and co-author Irwin Morris show how the once solid Democratic-South is now overwhelmingly Republican, and African Americans are now voting at levels comparable to those of whites.
2 Responses to "Brigham Young: American Moses?"
Shout out to John Turner for writing an incredibly intriguing book. I found his Brigham Young to be a more multi-faceted and evolving man than the Brigham Young I was taught about living here in Utah. Well done.Patrick
Thank you for your interest in Brigham Young. He is certainly an intriguing figure! I have not yet read the book, but I found the interview disappointing. Issues of revelation, such as polygamy, were treated with smirks from a smug 21st century view. The idea that any of the church leaders who were asked to participate in plural marriage during this short period were eager to do so is unfounded. Complex situations such as the Mountain Meadows massacre (which have been more extensively researched than indicated in this interview, and perhaps in the book) were treated with a dust of the surface, as well as leading questions and judgmental comments by Ms. McConnell.Kirsten Sparenborg

Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Engine
347ci Small Block Build - Hammer Time! - Part 1
Part 1 In A Four-Part Series. We Build A Powerful Summit Racing 347ci Small-Block With MCE Engines
Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean
Think your block and heads are clean? Guess again. When McAfee gets a block back from Motor Magic, which has already cleaned the block, he goes to work with the detail of Felix Unger of The Odd Couple. He uses a rifle-cleaning kit to clean deep into oil galleys with soap and water. He also uses a high-pressure mix of petroleum-based solvent, soap, and water to get passages hospital clean. His logic is grassroots-even the tiniest iron or steel particle can score a bearing or damage a piston, rendering a new engine useless in short order. McAfee's job as a builder is to ensure engine reliability, covering details most of us miss. Thorough cleaning prevents contaminates from doing engine damage.
Cleaning begins by completely disassembling the block-knocking out all cam bearings, removing freeze and oil galley plugs, and chemically dipping the block. Some machine shops employ a hot-cook process to bake off all the crud, followed by a shot-blast that makes the iron look new again. After that, a shake-out process removes all of the steel shot. A complete water/soap washing should always follow to remove hidden debris.
Power Heads
Because we wanted to establish a power baseline, we decided to begin with CNC-ported 351W heads from PowerHeads. Using 351W heads has been a low-buck 289/302 upgrade for ages. When you're huffing 347 ci through them, 351W heads make even more sense. PowerHeads does a nice CNC-ported head for less than $1,000-which also maintains a stock appearance, if that's important to you. Ports and bowls are CNC-machined, then hand-detailed to a nice finish. New stainless valve guides, valves, and hardened seats are also included. Valve sizing is also increased to 1.94/1.60-inch intake/exhaust. Stock 351W valve sizing is 1.84/1.54-inch intake/exhaust.
|Powerheads 351W Flow Figures
Over-The-Top Dynamic Balancing
Automotive Balancing in Southgate, California, does all of McAfee's balance work. Think of MCE Engines and Automotive Balancing as right and left-brained. McAfee and Rocky Bowen work together in order to achieve above-average engine-balancing technique. McAfee likes reciprocating parts within 1 gram or less of each other, which takes time and commitment. Bowen is committed. McAfee is quick to add there's no such thing as "perfect" balance. The best you can do is get it as accurate as possible. For him, that means a reciprocating weight within less than 1 gram, which is darn close considering current balancing technology. Call this splitting hairs, but the result is smooth operation.
A Balance Of Power
Vibration comes another way when static and working compression aren't cohesive. Static compression is what happens when you crank the engine and check compression. Working compression is what happens when you throw in fuel and air, and light it. Heat energy changes compression depending on cylinder and combustion chamber dynamics. To get all eight bores working in unison, each has to have uniform volume above the piston, which is known as compression height and deck height. What happens to the piston and rings at light-off also affects working compression. How well will the rings seat? This is an unknown until you whirl it around and light the mixture.
How much volume is there above the piston at top dead center? The distance the piston travels from bottom dead center to TDC is live volume. What's left above the piston at TDC is called dead volume. The dead-volume area is called the combustion chamber. Chamber size affects compression. Valve-relief size, no matter how small, affects compression. Even the area above the top compression rings affects compression. Are the valve heads dished or flat? This also affects compression.
Dynamic (working) compression is when an air/fuel mixture (which decreases volume because fuel drop-lets are considered mass) is moved through the chamber. When you ignite the air/fuel mixture, the chamber temperature rises to approximately 2,200 degrees F, depending on humidity, ambient temperature, and atmospheric pressure.
McAfee says all eight cylinders must have identical compression for the power-and load-exerted on the crank to have any chance of being uniform. When you have a loafing cylinder due to compression variations, the engine runs rough and costs power. McAfee begins his compression insurance policy by cc'ing every chamber and piston to get them all spot on.
During assembly, it's important to take things slow and go step by step. Set the crank; then carefully set each of the caps. Each one should be snugged first; then check the endplay, which should be 0.0004-0.0008 inch, with a maximum of 0.0012 inch. If you're going to rev it high, aim for 0.0008 inch. Torque main caps beginning with No. 3, followed by 1, 5, 2, and 4. Torque them in third values, and check crankshaft freedom with each one. You should be able to move the crank by hand at the snout. If it binds and won't turn, bearing clearances are too tight. Once all caps are torqued, check the endplay again.
It's important to note all pistons must be bore-matched, meaning each bore is honed to match the piston. Ring-end gaps must be checked on all eight bores. This is what real blueprinting is-a precision fit of all components.

Mrs. Alice Gertrude Overstreet Taylor, 95, died Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013 at The Meadows retirement home in Fulton.Â
Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013 at St. Andrews United Methodist Church in Oxford with Rev. Ed Woodall officiating.Â
Burial will follow in Oxford Memorial Cemetery.Â
Visitation will be held 9-11 a.m. at the church prior to the services.Â
Waller Funeral Home of Oxford is in charge of arrangements.
Born in Lafayette County on Dec. 9, 1917, Alice was the daughter of William Edgar and Corrine Palmer Overstreet. One of eleven children, she lived a full life in Mississippi, residing for many years in both the Delta and Oxford. Alice and her late husband, J.C. Taylor, were directors of Camp Lake Stephens in Oxford. Upon his death in 1974, she became the house mother of the Delta Delta Delta sorority at the University of Mississippi. For 21 years, she enjoyed helping shape the lives of hundreds of young ladies, and became lovingly known as "Mama T."
Alice's love and affection for her family and friends was apparent through the deliciously cooked meals she served them. Her recipes and dishes are well-known and cherished.
She will be remembered for her warm heart, good sense of humor and infectious laugh. Alice had a gift for making others feel loved and appreciated.
She is survived by her daughters, Vera Sugg (Joe) of Amory, Linda Jo Templeton (Larry) of Starkville and Barbara Malone (Aubrey) of Laurel; her sisters, Betty Gresham and Laura Reid, both of Oxford; five grandchildren, Chris Sugg (Dixie), Brian Sugg (Amanda), Stephen Nichols (Suzanna), Nici Comer (Brian) and Julian Malone; seven great-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, J.C. Taylor; her parents; her sisters, Katherine Blair, Cora Beene, Martha Taylor, Margie Hillhouse McGregor, Lila Blount and Lily Faust; and her brothers, Edgar Harold Overstreet and Joe William Overstreet.Â
Memorial contributions may be made to St. Andrews United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 6, Oxford, MS 38655, where Alice was a long-time member, or a charity of the donor's choice.Â
The family would like to thank the loving caregivers of The Meadows' retirement home. They would also like to thank Faye Riley of Fulton who was Alice's roommate at The Meadows. Faye provided Alice with a loving friendship in the last years of her life.

Well, you should choose a font that should work on most browsers and computers. I prefer sanserif fonts to serif fonts for the web because if some one would use the magnification on their computer a serif font pixelates faster then a sanserif font. I personally rightnow would choose either Geneva or Ariel, but a couple of years from now my opinion might change. Some people might not agree with me rightnow.

Dan Falk asks whether anyone will put up the money to realise a defence system against asteroids heading in the direction of Earth (20 May, p 36).
People usually care more about dangers that manifest themselves close to their homes. It is a little-known fact that one of the world's greatest asteroid impact structures lies right on the doorstep of the US nation's policy makers in Washington DC.
The impact 35 million years ago that created the crater buried underneath Chesapeake Bay was one of the biggest since the one that killed the dinosaurs. Its age coincides with a minor mass extinction.
Unfortunately, it is buried under sediments, and can only be traced by drilling and gravimetric maps. However, with computer graphics, the impact and its consequences could be recreated for a wide audience. Remember that spending on palaeontology increased after

New Orleans, LA 7012
Dr. Pamela Waldron-Moore
Department Head
Minor in Political Science
Minors must complete 18 hours of political science, including Political Science 1010. No more than three hours may be taken in independent study courses and internships (PSCI 4903, 4913, 4953, 4963). Non- majors must have PSCI 1020 or 2040 as a prerequisite for advanced courses, but this requirement may be waived by the department chairperson.
Minor in Pre-Law
The minor in pre-law consists of specialized courses within the Political Science program of study. This minor is available to non-Political Science majors who are considering entrance into the legal profession, including law school, criminal justice programs, public service, and political office.
The Minor in pre-law requires 18 hours in the following courses: PSCI 2120, Judicial Process; PSCI 2100, Law, Politics and Society; PSCI 3133, Mock Trial and Debate; PSCI 2060, International Law and Politics; PSCI 3100, Constitutional Law; PSCI 3110, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and PSCI 4963, Legal Internship.
Minor in International Affairs
The minor in International Affairs prepares students for careers in the international arena. This program of study specifically prepares students for:
The Minor in International Affairs requires 18 hours in the following courses: PSCI 2040, International Relations; PSCI 2060, International Law and Politics; PSCI 3040, International Organization; PSCI 3640, American Foreign Policy; PSCI 4100, International Political Economy; and PSCI 4640, Politics of Developing Nations. Of these, PSCI 2040, PSCI 4100 and PSCI 4640 are required. The remaining nine hours may be taken as electives from the courses listed above as well as from the other international courses offered in the department, namely PSCI 3240, 4050, and 4953/4956. Further, it is recommended that students pursuing a Minor in International Affairs also take a course in Economics, twelve (12) credit hours in a foreign language, and participate in a Study Abroad program for at least one semester.
Minor in Public Administration
The Public Administration minor consists of specialized Public Administration courses within the Political Science program of study. Such a minor can be used to complement majors in fields such as Business, Sociology, Education, History, Communications, Psychology, and allied health fields. Thus it offers majors in the liberal arts and humanities an opportunity to enhance their employability.
The Public Administration minor consists of 18 hours in courses pertaining to public administration, of which PADM 2050, 3370, 3500 or 3510, 4530, and 4953 are required. In addition, no more than three hours may be taken in independent study courses (such as PADM 4903 or 4913).
Minor in International Studies
See Interdisciplinary Minors.
Recommended Pre-Law Preparation for Political Science Majors
In its Pre-Law Handbook, the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) does not recommend a particular course of study for the pre-law student. Rather it encourages students to pursue a broadly-based program that trains them to understand the variety of ideas, forces, and institutions that have shaped society.
The Pre-Law advisor does, however, suggest specific courses which pre-law students may find helpful. Thus, Pre-Law preparation for political science majors consists of an individually tailored program based on faculty suggestions. It is recommended that a student use his/her Core Curriculum requirements, minor, and free electives to take courses from among the following courses. Writing, critical thinking and logical reasoning are enhanced through: 1) English 2020, 3275, or 3400, 2) History 3001, and 3) Philosophy 2040, 3190, or 3260. Within the major, Political Science 2100, 3100, 3250 or 3270 are suggested.
Pre-Law students eligible for honors English and History courses are strongly advised to take advantage of these opportunities.

Climate sceptics are prone to ignore indicators of global warming when it suits them, but their protagonists can be guilty of a similar process - suggesting particular research is "flawed" or, worse, by making personal attacks on the researcher.
Stuart Clark did not mention Theodor Landscheidt's research when describing David Hathaway's work in his article on sunspots (12 June, p 30). This would have cleared up the mystery behind the sun's present lack of get-up-and-go. Landscheidt's work on the effect of the solar system's centre of gravity, or barycenter, on the sun's heat output predicts that Earth will cool until about 2030.
Whether this will overcome the general warming trend, however, is unclear. When this was mentioned to a global-warming guru recently, the reply was that Landscheidt was not to be trusted as he was an astrologer. Then again, so was Kepler.

'Saturday Night Live': How was Seth Rogen as a returning host?Add to Favorites | Saturday Night Live
Seth Rogen returned to host "Saturday Night Live" for the third time April 12. Obviously it wasn't filled with singing and dancing like Anna Kendrick's turn as host, but Rogen sure packed on the star power.
During his monologue alone, which included the "Neighbors" star reading his personal diary, James Franco, Zooey Deschanel and Taylor Swift popped up. Swift is obviously the one that doesn't quite fit, but her line was perfect. "Whenever a man shows emotion, I appear," she joked.
The episode wasn't necessarily among the best of the season, but it was a solid outing with many familiar characters, including Nasim Pedrad's Shollon and Vanessa Bayer's Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy. Kudos to the "SNL" writers for only including one marijuana-themed sketch, though Rogen joked during the monologue that 50 of them were proposed.
The only non-monologue cameo was another Franco appearance during a pre-produced piece that showed what happens to grotesque monsters who go through plastic surgery to look like humans. It turns out if you have enough money, the answer is Franco.
What did you think of Rogen's return to the show? Vote in the poll below.

US has low-cost alternatives to oil; peak oil frenzy and human-induced climate change avoidable says Columbia University report
May 14, 2006
Surging oil prices have fueled calls for the United States to develop new sources of affordable and secure domestic energy. While renewable energy -- especially biofuels, wind power, and solar technologies -- is an area of particular interest, researchers from the Earth Institute at Columbia University say that the U.S. already has relatively low-cost alternatives to imported oil, including coal, tar sands, and oil shale. These resources can be extracted and used at a lower cost to the environment than some might expect.
"[With widespread use of coal liquefaction] the long-term price of liquid hydrocarbon fuels may be lower than it is today, even allowing for pessimistic forecasts for oil and gas reserves," Sachs and Lackner write. "Even with the most conservative assumptions about learning curves, it appears quite safe to predict that the cost of synthetic oil from coal or other processes, after some transitional pains, will be below $30 per barrel."
Sachs and Lackner make a case that because the U.S. has large coal deposits -- the most extensive in the world -- it would be less vulnerable to political uncertainties in other parts of the world.
They say another promising alternative to imported oil are tar sands and oil shale, both of which are found in abundance on the North American continent. Scientists estimate the energy content of Canadian tar sand deposits is comparable to that of the oil fields in Saudi Arabia.
High oil prices fuel bioenergy push High oil prices and growing concerns over climate change are driving investment and innovation in the biofuels sector as countries and industry increasingly look towards renewable bioenergy to replace fossil fuels. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, has recently invested $84 million in an American ethanol company, while global energy gluttons ranging from the United States to China are setting long-term targets for the switch to such fuels potentially offering a secure domestic source of renewable energy and fewer environmental headaches.
Given the abundant supply of alternative energy sources, the authors argue that over the long-term, the limiting factor presented in increased use of fossil fuels "is environmental rather than one of availability." Rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases -- especially carbon dioxide -- are of the greatest concern.
"Carbon emissions will have to be mitigated, because the business-as-usual course is fraught with grave global risks," note the authors. "The limits on the global oil supply will not reduce the risks from CO2, since coal and other low-cost fossil fuels will in any event substitute for declining supplies of petroleum and natural gas, and their CO2 emissions will be larger, not smaller."
Sachs and Lackner believe that new technologies that capture and sequester carbon dioxide below ground could help prevent human-induced climate change at a cost of less than one percent of gross world product by 2050. Cleaner, more efficient use of coal and other resources could also play a key role in addressing climate change.
Current coal reserves. Source: US Department of Energy/Energy Information Administration
Cleaner, more efficient use of coal could play a key role in addressing climate change, especially with the growing importance of coal as an energy source as world crude oil supplies are diminished in the future. Coal presently supplies about two-thirds of China's energy and one-third of the energy demand in the United States but, due to its abundance, is forecast to become an increasingly important relative to petroleum around mid-century.
"Economic logic suggests that these goals could best be accomplished through a uniform tax on carbon emissions imposed on all fossil-fuel users in all regions, or by a global tradable permits system. But both approaches might prove to be administratively or politically impossible to implement," Sachs and Lackner write. "It might be easier in the end to focus on the much smaller number of decision makers involved in licensing new power plants and setting future automotive efficiency standards."
"Whatever we do, we know we are going to have to approach this complex problem in a multi-faceted way and from a global perspective," said Sachs, director of The Earth Institute, in a news release. "The key is we have to start now and we have to commit ourselves to making a change before change is forced on us. Fortunately, there are promising technologies that may well offer us solutions at large scale and reasonably low cost."

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Teresa Giudice Writes Open Letter to Jacqueline Laurita Begging for Forgiveness
It appears as if The Real Housewives of New Jersey's biggest pot-stirrer of the season, Teresa Giudice, has finally had some sense knocked into her by that pesky culprit known as "real people problems." Apparently, being on Celebrity Apprentice showed Teresa that her petty Jersey drama doesn't hold a candle to the plight of other less-fortunate individuals (although, neither does her Neiman-Marcus bill).
So, the wife of Joe "Juicy Delicious" Giudice has issued a public apology letter to her castmates via In Touch Magazine — right on the heels of Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, and Melissa Gorga's threatening to quit the show due to unnecessary emotional duress. (Um, seriously? You guys signed up to be H'Wives!)
Teresa's open letter to Jacqueline reads like a middle school apology:
"Dear Jacqueline, I wish we could have resolved things sooner because I'm sincerely sorry for upsetting you — and I'm sorry I didn't respond to your apology on Twitter … I feel like things have gotten out of hand, which is sad. I miss our friendship. I miss being like Lucy and Ethel with you. And so I hope we can work through these problems one day, when you are ready."
Of course, the maj speculation here is whether Teresa is being sincere or all this news is only coming out now to hype up the latest season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which premiered this week on Bravo.
We'll go ahead and assume now that this year's reunion show will be a 6-part mini-series airing on HBO in the fall.

What a week! First an unprecedented IPO, then marriage. Yes, Facebook's Zuckerberg Marries His Longtime Girlfriend Priscilla Chan. And California marriages are, well different, as California divorce lawyers–aka "family lawyers"–will tell you.
The water cooler debates about taxing Mark Zuckerberg have been vitriolic for weeks now–not to mention the endless likes and dislikes over the expatriation of one-time co-founder Eduardo Saverin. It's only natural that we'll all worry over this one too. After all, what does this latest one-two development mean for the Zuckerberg family tax return?
Joint v. Separate? Mr. Zuckerberg and his new wife could file married filing separate or married filing joint for this year, even though they married part-way through the year. While 95% of married couples file joint tax returns, you might be surprised to find that the tax savings by filing jointly are often small. If Mr. Zuckerberg hopes to keep assets separate–more about that below–he's better off filing separately.
Separate v. Community? One of the big issues in California and the handful of other community property states is separate v. community. What each person acquires prior to marriage is separate property. That means all the billions Mr. Zuckerberg had before tying the knot remain his separate property.
But you might be surprised how that can get confused over time. If there's a prenup–and I presume there is–it might say that no matter what, it stays separate. But separate property can be transmuted into community property not only by agreement but by actions too. Seemingly innocuous acts–like one person making a mortgage payment on their spouse's separate residence–can have an impact.
Business and Investment Management? One of the biggest risks is where a couple works together or even undertakes joint management of assets or business interests. What is considered a contribution to the community can become murkier still. Even if Mr. Zuckerberg's Facebook stock and cash are all separate up until he marries, earnings from his work at the company during marriage are generally considered community. That is likely to include more options in the future.
Gifts During Marriage? One thing that's not a tax problem during marriage is the gift tax. Married taxpayers can give as much property as they want to their spouse during marriage free of gift tax. So if Mr. Zuckerberg wants to give his bride a billion dollar wedding gift of Facebook stock, there's no gift tax.
There's no income tax either, unless she sells it. Then, because her tax basis in the shares would be the same as the stock's basis was in her husband's hands before the gift, she would pay tax on the gain on sale.
Divorce Rules. Sorry to be a killjoy, and I truly wish the newlyweds well. But the biggest and most important tax rules about marriage apply to its unwinding. Since these tax rules only work on unwinding a legal marriage and not on any form of cohabitation, they remain a gross tax inequity the gay marriage debate has never thoroughly addressed.
Like gifts during marriage, property transfers incident to divorce don't trigger gift or income taxes. Alimony or spousal maintenance if structured properly is income to the recipient spouse and deductible by the payor spouse. Child support is neither deductible to the payor nor income to the child or the recipient spouse with custody.
All these rules may sound simple and they are simple to state. But the tax cases in which they are misapplied and audited are legion.

Dodge Neon turbos are the power boosters of the vehicle. They can increase the horsepower of the engine without increasing its weight. The main idea behind the turbos is to boost the air intake of the engine for increased fuel-to-air mixture ratio. The Dodge Neon turbos draws more air for the power boost and also increase the weight-to-power ratio of the engine. The Dodge Neon turbos have two components which help in its efficient functioning. The turbine spins at high speed which drives the compressor to draw more air. The air thus drawn is pushed into the cylinder at high pressure for the required fuel-to-air mixture ratio. It is important that you maintain the turbos in good condition for the extra power boost.

I desperately need glasses for toon characters like Chibi Boy and Girl for Genesis and Sadie/Sam for Genesis among others, but there seems to be a problem with the fit even when choosing to fit to Genesis from the menu.
By the way, the lenses are clear because after fitting the Genesis sunglasses to the character, I choose clear lenses from a Gen4 pair of sunglasses. There seem to be no regular eye glasses for Genesis characters yet.
I have some of the same problems with clothing and hair for Genesis when fitting them to toon Genesis characters too, but I am willing to work with that in Photoshop as needed.

He's inundated with offers, people turn out to see him, and journalists dog his every move: Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales has all the hallmarks of a rock star. Except he isn't one. He's the man who founded Wikipedia, the vast online encyclopedia used by millions every day. Wikipedia employs just five full-timers, yet it already has 1.5 million articles written by users in a growing number of the world's languages. A diehard core of 400 online volunteers help to keep vendettas, vandals and crazies at bay. So what gave Wales his big idea? Can the open Wikipedia ethic survive in a world dominated by corporations? Paul Marks caught up with him recently after he gave a lecture to a packed hall at the London School of Economics.
Was Wikipedia a fully formed concept right from the start?
Very far from it. I'd watched the growth of the open-source software movement, with ...

The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program honors the life and legacy of Gordon Hirabayashi, who passed away on January 2, 2012. Hirabayashi was a sociology professor, civil rights activist, and known for challenging the basis of Executive Order (EO) 9066, which had authorized the evacuation and imprisonment of Americans of Japanese descent during World War II. He was the petitioner in court case, Hirabayashi v. United States (1943).
While a student at the University of Washington, Hirabayashi objected to EO 9066 by refusing to abide by a curfew imposed on Japanese Americans and refusing to enter a relocation camp. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the government's argument that the restrictions were a military necessity. It took four decades for Hirabayashi to be vindicated, with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that the internment policy "had been based on political expediency, not on any risk to national security," as The Associated Press wrote.
Hirabayashi's story about U.S. civil rights history was featured in the landmark exhibition, A More Perfect Union: Japanese Americans and the U.S. Constitution at the National Museum of American History.
Here is an interview from the exhibit:
"I was charged with uh, violation of uh, exclusion order. And then, subsequently I was given a count two, uh, curfew violation by my own admission. They said: 'If you feel this way, what'd you do about the curfew?' I said: 'Well, uh what were you doing the last coupla' nights, were you out after eight?' And he says 'Yeah.' And I said: 'Well, so was I.' And he said: 'Oh, then you violated the curfew.' And he put me down. So those were the charges against me. The uh, instruction (I'm condensing this) but the instruction of the judge to the jury uh, as they were to leave was: 'You can forget all that Constitutional discussion by the defense. The Western Defense Command order is: That all persons of Japanese ancestry both alien and non-alien must abide by these orders. You are to determine first of all whether he is of Japanese ancestry. If he is, did he abide by these orders?' And, all of those questions were admitted by me."

opinionBy Anil Gayan
Some visitors to this country, which is trumpeted to be a ' plaisir', may wonder why all the pavements of the capital city Port-Louis are taken over by the ' marchands ambulants'.
They will certainly ask their tourist guides about these traders, who are spread all over the capital and, most probably, the answer that they will be given will be that these traders are ' les marchands ambulants'. The tourists who are endowed with a degree of intelligence will immediately realize that there is nothing ambulatory about these ' marchands' and they will, in their desire not to offend, conclude that Mauritius is really a pleasure. But, the tourists will go away and Mauritius will still have the problem.
There are various ways of dealing with this. The best way is to criminalise any one who is ' ambulatory' and stops to buy things from the not- ambulants marchands. Or, at any rate, discourage the ambulatory folk, especially those public officers who invade the streets of Port- Louis during their lunch break from helping the trade. Or, the PRB may provide that all those public offi cers who have their lunch at their palce of work will be entitled to a special allowance and there will be CCTV to monitor them.
Another is by regulating the people who claim to be the ' marchands ambulants' and get them to really be ' ambulants'. Or, another way is to designate an area where they would carry on their trade without setting up day- permanent structures on the streets and pavements or by using parking spaces virtually on a permanent basis. The authorities must also monitor the sourcing of goods which are put on sale and the MRA must be able to tax these traders, just like it hunts everyone else.
Mauritius is not alone in facing this kind of problem. Singapore was another country which had to deal with its ubiquitous traders by constructing a special place to house all of them and Singaporean discipline ensured that the traders did what they were told to do. One should not overlook the fact that this ambulatory activity is the main source of livelihood for thousands of people. Putting an abrupt stop to that activity will create social problems and will exacerbate the unemployment situation. Unless all those who are trading on the streets are also registered as unemployed! A solution must be found before the numbers of such traders increase.
The phenomenon which afflicts us at this time of the year is that many civil servants and many in the parastatal sector convert themselves into street vendors during the Xmas and New Year season. In fact, a quick survey of the passengers leaving Mauritius for China at this period is illustrative of the fact that there is gold in street trading and the multiplier effect is astounding in December. Whatever one might say about the informal sector, one must bow down to the inventiveness of our people who know how a quick rupee can be made.
Unless the PRB provides manna for the civil servants, the latter will find nothing uncivil in engaging in street trading.

(Células de los islotes)
The pancreas contains clusters of cells that produce hormones. These clusters are known as islets. There are several different types of cells in an islet. For example, alpha cells make the hormone glucagon, which raises the glucose (a type of sugar) level in the blood. Beta cells make the hormone insulin, which lowers the glucose level. In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system mistakenly destroys the beta cells. This causes the pancreas to lose the ability to make insulin.

deeply flawed launch of Obamacare's online enrollment is now all over the news
after taking a back seat to coverage of the government shutdown.
A month into the rollout, the evidence is starting to
pile up – Obamacare is a disaster. Folks are still unable to get logged in to
the site online, which under the law, was supposed to be a key feature of
expanding insurance coverage. Also, according to a Health and Human Services
report last month, Alabama has very few insurance plan choices, which also
shows the law's shortcomings.
I have voted more times than I can count to get rid of
Obamacare because I think the law is unworkable, will damage the economy and
end up hurting working folks. I will continue to fight against Obamacare.
Anxiety is rising over looming deadlines. For example,
to have coverage starting January 1, everyone must sign up online by December
15. The law's supporters, including the president, have not agreed to
even a year delay in the individual mandate to purchase health insurance,
despite all the uncertainties and concerns.
Open season for enrollment lasts until March 31. At
first, if you hadn't signed up by February 15, you would face a penalty, but
the White House has delayed that deadline to March 31. How is any of this fair?
And if trying to navigate this terribly complex law
isn't nightmare enough, the premiums because of the Affordable Care Act have
risen across East Alabama significantly.
Recently on my Facebook page, I asked folks to let me
know if their premiums were affected. One person's premiums will go up
$200 monthly and they've decided to go without health insurance when January
Another person's premiums will rise $300 per
month. For another individual, their premiums will go up $130 a month and
they said they just cannot afford the coverage with the higher price.
Another family was told their policy doesn't meet the requirements of the new
law, but they will be switched to a new policy at an increase of $740 a month.
The law hurts folks across East Alabama because it is
not affordable or fair. Insured people are willing to become uninsured and pay
the fine because they cannot afford the escalated prices of their new premiums
under Obamacare.
This new law, along with its website, has proved once
again to be a 'train wreck.'
President Obama has already delayed portions of the
law, and Republicans are beginning investigations into its many shortcomings. I
fully expect those hearings to reveal yet more problems.
As always, please feel free to contact me at mike-rogers.house.gov, like me on
Facebook at Congressman Mike D. Rogers, follow me on Twitter, Pinterest,

It's official. Two of the most conservative Republicans in the House have been kicked off of the House Budget Committee by Speaker John Boehner.
Representatives Tim Huelskamp of Kansas and Justin Amash of Michigan - both favorites of the anti-tax Tea Party movement - are among those Republicans voting most often against House Speaker John Boehner.
Huelskamp and Amash, who both will begin second terms in the House next month, voted against last year's deal to raise the federal debt limit and staunchly oppose any tax increases. Boehner has now included new revenue in his latest offer to avert the "fiscal cliff" of year-end tax hikes and automatic spending cuts. Given their voting records, winning support from Huelskamp and Amash for such a compromise seemed an uphill battle.
The move has apparently been made in the name of compromise. I wonder if Harry Reid will kick the most liberal Senators off of the Senate Budget Committee as well....doubt it.

Angels Mist Guest house, is in Kaapsehoop a little town where the wild horses still roams the streets and the surrounding forests. With a beautiful nearby waterfall hidden in a indigenous forest. Fantastic sandstone rocks formed by nature in perfect art pieces.
A walk through the sandstone natural art "gallery" will bring you to one of South Africa craters, that is well seen from the lookout point, and in a far distance you can see Barberton at the foot of one of the craters walls.
Being only 28 Km from Nelspruit we is ideally situated as a home base from which you can travel for day trips to Sabie, Graskop, the Kruger National Park, Barberton, Badplaas and even Mozambique or Swaziland. At the end of a busy day, you can escape the heat of the lowveld and rest in the mosquito free mountain air of Kaapsche Hoop, or in winter, vegetate with a glass of exquisite wine.
