THERE are many views on the recent action taken by Dr Wayne Kublalsingh and the Highway Re-Route Movement, in bringing their case to the public, as to why the portion of the proposed highway to Point Fortin, from Debe to Mon Desir, should be re-routed. Dr Kublalsingh has embarked on a hunger strike, and some of his followers have joined him in fasting. Whether we consider the actions to be foolish or an emphatic display of persons having the courage of their convictions, there is in civilised society the need to respect not only different points of view�but also the individuals who hold them.
Interestingly, the UNC's (United National Congress) Youth Arm chairman himself made this point in a media release in which he chastised Dr Kublalsingh for allegedly using obscene language last week to the Minister of Health when the latter sought to intervene in his hunger strike. The chairman talked about the need to communicate one's views in a "respectful" way. Yet when he was asked about the comments made by Government ministers at a UNC forum in Debe last Monday, he is reported to have said, "Statements made on the political platform does (sic) not violate a law".
First of all, that statement is rubbish in terms of whether a political speech can be the subject of a criminal charge. It is only in relation to the law of defamation that political speeches enjoy some privilege�and then, it is only qualified privilege. There is no such protection in the law of sedition, or incitement or even breaches of the peace. Hopefully, this budding politician will familiarise himself with these matters before he himself jumps on a political platform.
Secondly, the question of whether statements attributed to Messrs Warner and Moonilal at the Debe meeting violated the law does not arise. The issue was raised about the need to communicate respectfully, and this is what drives the criticisms by various persons of the statements of the two ministers.
What are those impugned statements? Mr Warner is reported to have said, in relation to Dr Kublalsingh's hunger strike, that he was killing himself and he should do so "quickly". That statement is itself callous as many persons have repeatedly stated.
Dr Moonilal's attack was more direct but equally reprehensible. He described the family as a "cult" and stated that he hoped he was pronouncing the word properly. This statement is suggestive of a recognisable obscene word and as such is particularly distasteful, offensive and totally disrespectful of Dr Kublalsingh's family who have been, in my view, a model of support and loyalty to their relative.
He reportedly described the hunger striker as a "fraudster" and a "trickster". He also apparently predicted violence from the controversy surrounding the Re-Route Movement's actions. The former statements are not only defamatory but also scandalous�unless Dr Moonilal has some kind of evidence that Dr Kublalsingh is somehow faking his hunger strike. Speaking for myself, the obvious fragility of the hunger striker seems to be a clear contradiction of this assertion. As to the suggestion of violence, what could be more calculated to put violence in the minds of persons who have conflicting views?
Government ministers are and ought to be held to a higher standard than ordinary citizens. We have through our parliamentary system of government placed them where they are. They are meant to be not only working towards a better quality of life for us all but should be leading examples. The behaviour of Ministers Warner and Moonilal this past week has not been in keeping with our requirements of those who hold such portfolios but more in line with rum-shop talk. They can be justified by no right-thinking person in this society and, despite Dr Moonilal's talk of numbers of calls, e-mails and texts commending him for his statements, they can appeal to no one except sycophants and bacchanalists. These ministers are bringing the Government into contempt whether they realise it or not.
It was therefore refreshing to read the responses of Ministers Carolyn Seepersad-Bachan, Prakash Ramadhar and Winston Dookeran. Ramadhar described the language used by his Cabinet colleagues as "unbecoming and inappropriate". He recognised that as leaders, members of Government ought to "set the right example". Dookeran appreciated the "deep conviction" of the hunger striker for which he is prepared to die and called on the Government to engage in compassion and compromise. He warned that otherwise, T&T might be seen as an "uncaring" society in the eyes of the world.
While this Government has not specifically adopted the mantra of being a "caring" Government, its Prime Minister has on many occasions talked of her Government being caring (the Children's Life Fund) and one that was concerned about the needy, the children and the unfortunate. Are the words and actions of her Ministers Warner and Moonilal consistent with this position? It was reported that at the last Cabinet meeting ministers, including Minister Warner, said a prayer for Dr Kublalsingh's health. In the face of statements by Warner and Moonilal, was this not somewhat hypocritical?
This Government has to be careful that its reaction in the wake of Dr Kublalsingh's hunger strike is not the straw that will break its back. The fact is that for over two weeks, this has seized the public's imagination and has further polarised those elements of society that were already separate in their political allegiances.
What should be more disturbing to the Government however is that the roughly 35 per cent of the population that is not permanently aligned to any side is gradually shifting away from the Government. Last week's statements by the UNC ministers seem to be cementing that trend.

Today's phones keep getting smarter and smarter, but not all smartphones share the same IQ. Find out which devices are smart enough to earn a spot on our list of today's top smartphones.

While you might see an iPhone 5 available for a cheap price, it doesn't quite compare to newer ones like the iPhone 7. The same is true for other types of phones like the Pixel XL.

Looking to save some cash? Who isn't? Smart phones may be smart, but that doesn't mean they're always crazy expensive.

If you want a smartphone without breaking the bank, see this list of phones that can be had for under $300, which is cheap considering that a brand new phone might cost you over $600.

A phone just for talking? ...that's so last century. Today's phones let you communicate without having to make a call, so we've gathered a list of the best text messaging phones in 2017.

In this list, you'll find text messaging phones organized by the best one we could find that fits all the categories, but also the best one for a budget, the phone with the best keyboard cover, the best business phone and more.

iPhones and BlackBerry's are just two of the main cell phone types, with new Android phones appearing almost every day. However, not all Android phones are worth your time and attention.

Some are best for gaming while others have better battery life or cameras.

Find out which models have earned a spot on this list of today's best Android phones.

BlackBerry phones don't always get the same attention that rivals like the iPhone and Android phones command, but there are plenty of excellent BlackBerry phones available in 2017.

We've organized this list by not only our favorite BlackBerry phone overall but also by security, price, and features like a slider BlackBerry.

I have to log inside a loop about 2000 times. So I decided to install the FlushableLogRouter flushing every 10 step. But then, every message is logged twice.
What can be the reason for this issue?
By default logs are only processed at the end of a request. FlushableLogRouter will process the logs as soon as they are flushed. Additionally it will take care of emptying the logs of each route.
Tested with Yii 1.1.6, but should also work with older versions.
Save the class file to your components folder and configure your application's log component to use this class. The example below will process logs every 10 entries.
'log' => array( 'class' => 'FlushableLogRouter', 'autoFlush' => 10, 'routes' => array(...) )
This component changes the $autoFlush property of CLogger.

Proper inflation helps tires last longer, as well as improve the fuel economy and handling of your vehicle. Modern vehicles have TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems), which sound an alarm when a tire is significantly low. So an air gauge is still an important piece of equipment for any driver, but which one is right for you? Sometimes too many choices can seem overwhelming. Within just one brand, Accutire, we have several tire gauges available. While they all work well, they do have different features to distinguish them from each other.
The Digital Set Point Programmable Air Gauge is our best-seller. It can be programmed to remember your vehicle's recommended pressures, has a clean, ergonomic design and is moderately priced. If you are still on the fence after researching all the options, this is the one to choose.
The ABS Coated Air Gauge has the highest maximum pressure reading of 150 psi. Its design is rugged and utilitarian. The readout on the side means you do not have to change your grip to read the pressure. If you like to keep things simple, this is your gauge.
The Digital Pencil Air Gauge has the slim design of an old, stick-style gauge, but is updated to incorporate an easy-to-read digital display. On the back end, it has a tread depth gauge, giving this gauge the ability to measure two key aspects of a tire's road-worthiness. It is the least expensive of the Accutire gauges. If you have limited space or budget, this multi-function gauge is an excellent choice. Are you obsessive about air pressure?
The Racing Air Gauge may be your match. It measures pressure all the way down to zero in 0.1 psi increments. It has a bleed valve to allow precise release of excess pressure. This gauge is a step up in price, but is worth it for those who race, or who want the most exact measurement and control of their tires' air pressure.

Perseverance and Spirit Earns Innova Team Major Award at Shell Eco-marathon
Perseverance and Spirit Earns Innova Team Major Award at Shell Eco-marathon
Perseverance and spirit are certainly two words that describe the INNOVA Team at Montgomery County Community College, which recently won a major award at the Shell Eco-marathon in Detroit, Mich.
The INNOVA Team, which entered their hydrogen fuel cell-powered urban concept vehicle into the competition, won the Perseverance and Spirit of the Event Award – one of only five off-track awards offered in the competition – including a check for $3,000.
Earlier, the team learned that their vehicle did not qualify for the on-track portion of the competition, and they were getting ready to pack up for the long drive back to the College when two men stopped by and started talking to the team about their vehicle.
"The team had no clue they were judges, we just thought they were just some guys interested in what we were doing," said team captain Julie Scott of Collegeville, Pa.
Later, an official from the competition stopped by and suggested that the team stick around until after the awards ceremony.
The team was surprised when they learned that they won the award, even thought they had an idea that they would win something when the official asked them to stay. It was the final award given during the ceremony.
"My face hurt after a while because I was smiling so much," Scott said. "My dad was like, 'Oh my gosh, I've never seen you so happy.'"
William Brownlowe, an associate professor of engineering who served as the team's advisor, said he was not surprised the team won such an award.
"The spirit of that team was phenomenal," Brownlowe said. "They never stopped, never quit and never gave up. They created a real family situation."
The team earned more recognition for their efforts when they were interviewed live on the NBC10 morning show on May 10.
According to Scott, the team has already spent the $3,000 they received with the award – to pay for parts and materials that the team had already purchased and to begin to get ready for next year's competition.
Since launching the INNOVA initiative, the team has received strong support from PECO, which presented the team with a check for $10,000 just before it left for the Shell Eco-Marathon.

How i can add the activation to the Vista?
AirtjE replied to zero2k32's topic in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008OK This method works fine when using DVD as an installation source. The other method (using the ABR Tool) works fine when you want to do the installation of the certificate manually. Now here comes the question: - How can we implement this business enviroment, where Windows Vista™ is deployed using WDS with only an install.wim file? - If we are to modify the install.wim file, will we still be able to implement multiple vendor certificates? We're installing and deploying computers for customers, as well as setting up WDS at our clients. We can use scripts etc for ABR but it is always better to directly implement it so it is a fully compatible and fully unattended installation. Anyone has idea how to do this? (there are no $OEM$ folders by default on the install.wim image). Thx
Dutch translation of languages.ini
AirtjE replied to r2k02's topic in WIHUThanks (was just looking for a translation and found it here). Not that I can't use English, but its intended for people who install systems BTW We still use the tool quite often. We use the tool to make custom installations of Windows XP and Windows Vista, different clients needs means all different kinds of configurations. The tool works fine under Windows Vista as long as you don't try to create users with it.
A hello from the Netherlands
AirtjE posted a topic in Introduce Yourself!Heyya all! I'm Ka-Ming, 27 years and from Almere, in center of the Netherlands. My interest into computers began already when I was just a kid of 8 years old. Started out opening computers and accidentally blowing up things... and after many years, ended up in the IT sector eventually. Don't have any degrees or certificates yet: have learned bits and pieces about computers and networking by reading and surfing over the net. Just started learning for Microsoft Certificates (MSDT, MCSA, MCSE) but I'm still not sure what I like most in IT. Ah well I'll just focus on getting my Microsoft degrees and will see from there. Currently working full-time in an IT company at De Meern (near Utrecht) as IT Support, technician, system/network administrator. I'm very happy to have this chance to roll back in IT and learn as much as possible. Developing some Vista images with customized configurations and software packages to work with Unattended installations using WDS and this forum is the most useful source I could find. Hopefully I can return that favor in the future Cheers, Ka-Ming aka AirtjE

Touch Bar MacBook Pros strip out most legacy ports, opt for Thunderbolt 3/USB-C and 3.5 mm headphone jack
Date: Friday, October 28th, 2016, 05:32
Category: Hardware, MacBook Pro, News, Thunderbolt, Touch ID, USB-C
If you're wondering what ports you'll find on the new Touch Bar MacBook Pro, here's a hint: lots of Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports, a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and not much else.
Apple has removed the MagSafe 2 charging port, HDMI port, SD card slot, Thunderbolt 2 port and standard USB ports. These ports have been replaced by four Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports and the aforementioned headphone jack.
The company seems to be focusing on the new ports for their more compact design and faster data transfer speeds.

I have a 1996 Chevy Suburban 1500 5.7 with 175K miles. 1 year ago for no reason it would not start for 20 minutes then instantly it started. No clue what happened. 4 months later if I let it sit for 3 or 4 day's I had the same problem. It turns over fine, then 5 to 10 minutes later it finally for no apparent reason would start hesitatingly. When this happens it runs and starts fine for day's. It only had this problem after sitting long periods. It seems it would start just as you are letting off the key and it sounds rough like partially flooded. I had better success when I only turn over for 2 seconds at a time. Then it got worse to just sitting over night. Then sitting for a couple of hours. Now I can't start it at all. I have changed the starter, fuel filter and had the test done on the battery and charging system all is OK. I hear the fuel pump when I turn the key. I sprayed some starting fluid in the carburator but not a flinch. I thought if it tried to kick over it would seem like a weak fuel pump. Does this eliminate the possible fuel pump problem? Does that make it an electrical problem now? HELP PLEASE!
have the same problem?

Brian Kedik was elected Edinburgh town justice last fall, but he never put on the black robe because of arrests for allegedly driving drunk and stealing money from his ex-mother-in-law.
Now he admits he stole$12,000 from his former mother-in-law as part of a deal that will spare him prison time.
He could have faced 2 1/3 to 7 years in state prison if a jury convicted him of grand larceny. Now he'll have to pay the full amount he took.
The DWI charge is pending.

"It's disgusting for a head of government to state in his inaugural speech that a man who attempted to commit mass murder should be freed."
"The fact that he said this in his first speech says to me that this is from the heart, and the Muslim Brotherhood has been trying to convince us that they have changed.
- Rep. Peter King, (R-NY)
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy, who led the prosecution against Rahman in 1995, said it isn't surprising that Morsi believes he has a chance.
"Egypt is going to pitch this as a humanitarian gesture," McCarthy said. "We have an administration which just issued a visa to Hani Hour Eldin, and he is a part of the Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya. This is an organization we use to take very seriously. LINK - Fox
Few Egyptians appeared to notice Mr. Morsi's comments about Mr. Abdel Rahman, and it was not clear whether they might play into suspicions among some in Washington of the president-elect's roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, an 84-year-old Islamist group with a history of opposition to the policies of the United States and Israel.

On Sunday, Morsy spokesperson Yasser Ali said that the president's statements on releasing Abdel Rahman were based on sympathy for his family, from a humanitarian perspective and not a legal one. Egypt Independant
In Cairo, President-elect Mohamed Morsi proclaimed to hundreds of thousands of supporters in Tahir Square on Friday that he will gain the release of Rahman, who is in a federal prison in North Carolina after having been convicted of masterminding the bombing that killed six and unsuccessfully plotting to blow up other landmarks, including the United Nations.
The Brotherhood's credo was and is, "God is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations."
It is said that "Revolutions are started by intellectuals, carried out by fanatics, and the fruits harvested by rogues." This was clearly illustrated in Egypt: The massive demonstrations in Tahrir Square were the work of students, merchants, and an assortment of other groups. The Muslim Brotherhood did not join the people; they wanted first to see how it turned out. But with the exile of their nemesis, Hosni Mubarak, they found their courage and jumped on the wagon. Even then, in order not to frighten the people, they "promised" NOT to seek a majority in the Parliament , and NOT to field candidates for the presidency. We now know that they broke both promises.
Some experts, and the Obama administration, accepted and even reinforced the subterfuge of the Brotherhood and their false and calculated modesty.They rationalized that the Muslim Brotherhood
controlled only 25 to 30 percent of the population and thus, couldn't win the elections, even less the presidency. We now know they were wrong on both counts.
Today, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN-06) and Congressmen Trent Franks (AZ-02), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Tom Rooney (FL-16) and Lynn Westmoreland (GA-03) sent letters to the Inspectors General of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and the Department of State. These letters seek answers about the U.S. government's involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that calls for "civilization jihad."
-- February 1, 2011, Barack Hussein Obama.
"The Muslim Brotherhood is one faction in Egypt. They don't have majority support in Egypt, but they are well organized and there are strains of their ideology that are against the U.S., there's no doubt about it," Obama said. "But here's the thing that we have to understand, there are a whole bunch of secular folks in Egypt, there are a whole bunch of educators and civil society in Egypt that wants to come to the fore as well. So it's important for us not to say that our own only two options are either the Muslim Brotherhood or a suppressed people."
To avoid such scenarios, Obama said that the U.S. must make sure "that we get all the groups together in Egypt for an orderly transition and the one that is a meaningful transition.'
Leave him right where he is.

Lady Gaga, Halloween is over!
Lady Gaga's newest 'grill' makes her look like an extra out of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' video, rather than a superstar singer.
Her set of wooden, oversized teeth, which she debuted on the red carpet at the You Tube Music Awards last night, are nothing short of creepy.
Otherwise, the wacky singer's outfit was relatively tame in comparison to her previous, over-the-top outfits.
Meanwhile, she has revealed that she has split from boyfriend of two years, actor Taylor Kinney.
After a period out of the spotlight following her hip surgery earlier this year, Gaga is now back with a bang thanks to her new record ARTPOP. She has been ramping up her flamboyant dress sense, including wearing just a leather-look shirt and fake teeth to the 2013 YouTube Music Awards last night and stripping naked during a show last week.
"Taylor has told her she's married to her career and that he can't deal with dating Gaga the mega-star and all her obsessions and alter-egos," an insider told British newspaper The Sun.
"He loves the cool, down-to-earth girl but hardly gets to see her. Gaga never stops working - she writes songs in the shower and dreams up new outfits in her sleep."
Taylor apparently wanted more alone time with the 27-year-old star, who is rarely without her security team and assistants. It's claimed that Gaga would find just one night each calendar month to be with her beau, the rest of the time she was plotting her next career move.
It's not known exactly when the pair split, but last week Taylor was spotted looking cosy with his Chicago Fire co-star Brittany Curran at a baseball game.
However, Gaga is said to be convinced they can reconcile and wants to use an upcoming US holiday to get their romance back on track.
"This has been a tough year for Gaga. She's had lifelong friends turn on her, had hip surgery, her dog died, and she's broken up with a guy she wanted to marry," the source said.
"Maybe they'll work things out over Thanksgiving. Gaga's hoping to meet up with Taylor when their schedules allow to talk things through. Taylor told her they need time apart, and it's looking as if this might lead to a permanent split. He's been hanging out with other girls in Chicago and hasn't seen Gaga for weeks now."

The Chinese government on Thursday abruptly removed Finance Minister Jin Renqing from his position amid scandal surrounding the allegation that he was at the heart of a number of liaisons between high-ranking officials and a middle-aged mistress from his home province.
"Jin Renqing was removed from his post on Thursday by China's national legislature," the state news agency Xinhua reported without specifying a reason. Xie Xuren, 59, currently director of the State Administration of Taxation, has been appointed to replace Jin as the country's finance chief.
The State Council, China's cabinet, announced on the same day that Jin would be transferred to a government think tank, where he would serve as deputy chief, also a ministerial-level position.
"For personal reasons, Jin Renqing asked to resign. The central government agreed to his request and approved appointing him to be deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Council," a spokeswoman for the State Council said over the phone, refusing to disclose further details.
Jins stepping down is widely regarded as unusual, for there are two more years to go before he reaches 65, the age of mandatory retirement for ministerial-level officials. And the transfer was made public just six weeks before the opening of the Communist Party Congress, a meeting held twice a decade for appointments to senior party and government positions as well as for setting the policy agenda for the next five years.
Various Hong Kong media outlets reported Jin was removed because of a sex scandal that also involved several senior comrades.
Speculation about Jin's career has been spreading around Beijing after the central government launched a probe focusing on Du Shicheng, the former party secretary of Qingdao, the South China Morning Post reported Thursday.
While the Qingdao city government was busy with organizing the sailing competition for 2008 Olympic Games, Du was sacked last December for "serious breaches of discipline," which could be interpreted as corruption or a moral lapse such as keeping mistresses.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the party's anticorruption watchdog, found Du had had an intimate relationship with a middle-aged "social butterfly," who has also been detained for investigation.
To the shock of investigators, the woman confessed she also had affairs with other senior government officials, including Chen Tonghai, the former chairman of China Petroleum and Chemical Corp. (Sinopec), and Jin Renqing. The woman was found to be the common mistress of Du and Chen, according to Hong Kongs Ming Pao, citing an anonymous source in Beijing.
The newspaper further disclosed that Jin had brought the woman from the southwestern province of Yunnan to meet Chen, who further introduced her to Du.
Chen suddenly resigned from his leading position at
Jin, 63, is still a member of the Communist Party's Central Committee. Before being appointed as finance minister in 2003, Jin had headed the State Administration of Taxation and had been vice governor of Yunnan and vice mayor of Beijing.

A federal judge has affirmed the legality of Metro Nashville Public Schools' controversial 2008 rezoning plan by ruling in Metro's favor in Spurlock, et. al vs. Fox, et. al.
Judge Kevin Sharp determined that the MNPS 2008 rezoning plan, which opponents claimed was racially isolating Pearl Cohn and Hillwood "clusters," was not attempting to classify students on the basis of race. He signed an order dismissing the case on Friday.
"While the School Board's action caused a segregative effect, the Court is unable to conclude that the School Board adopted the plan with a segregative purpose," Sharp wrote in his conclusions of law filing.
"We are happy to have this litigation behind us," said Metro Director of Schools Jesse Register, who hadn't started his tenure in Nashville when the plan was approved. "We value diversity in our schools and will continue to promote diverse schools through innovative programs and school choice."
Metro attorney Kevin Klein said Metro was "thrilled and relieved" by Judge Sharp's decision.
"Most importantly, we feel like it's vindication for the folks on the task force and the school board who put in the long hours to craft and vote on this plan," Klein said.
Former school board chair David Fox, the named defendant in the original 2009 lawsuit, said he always believed Metro's student assignment plan was "good for all students."
"I wish that taxpayers were able to recoup all the money we had to waste against this ridiculous lawsuit," Fox said. "I'm glad it's over. It was a distraction. It was an unfortunate waste of money."
Klein said he and fellow Metro attorney Allison Bussell devoted "literally 3,800 hours" to the case and paid expert witnesses and outside counsel more than $1 million.
Frances Spurlock filed the lawsuit after her child was rezoned from a high performing school in Bellevue to a low-achieving school closer to home in North Nashville. The class action lawsuit claimed the move was a form of re-segregation and attorney Allen Woods said they plan to appeal.
"Not surprisingly, the Court held that the current zoning plan has resulted in increased segregation in the Nashville public school system. Any claim by Metro that it is pleased or satisfied with the Court's decision today should be viewed in light of that lamentable holding by the Court," Woods said.
Sharp recognized that the plan created more segregation, but ruled that the case didn't prove racial motivations by Metro.
According to his filing, Sharp analyzed the historical background of the decision, the specific sequence of events leading up to the rezoning plan, and whether the plan departed from normal procedure.
"While the School Board might be chastised for its bitter divisiveness and lack of political will, the Court cannot locate an intent to use the re-zoning plan to discriminate on the basis of race," Sharp wrote.
One of Metro's main defenses in the case was that parents have more educational choices than ever before. Sharp agreed, but pointed out that MNPS hasn't done a good job of informing parents of their choices.
"While the District has not done enough to inform families of the choices available for them ... the execution of the plan is rationally related to the District's objective of increasing choice," Sharp wrote.

IRS Should Investigate Minnesota Church for Electioneering, Says Americans United
Watchdog Group Says Berean Bible Baptist Church Violated Federal Law
WASHINGTON - A Minnesota church whose pastor endorsed several political candidates during an Oct. 17 sermon should be investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, says Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
Americans United today filed a formal complaint with the IRS over the action of Berean Bible Baptist Church in Hastings. Church pastor Brad Brandon endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer and several other candidates from the pulpit yesterday.
"Pastor Brandon has pulled his tax-exempt church into partisan politics in blatant violation of federal law," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. "This a clear-cut case, and the IRS should act."
A reporter with the Minnesota Independent attended the service and reported that Brandon endorsed Emmer and several other candidates for U.S. Congress and state offices. Brandon also distributed a flier listing the candidates that the church has endorsed.
Brandon concluded the Sunday morning church service by stating, "This has been recorded, taped this morning. We are not shy about what we are doing. In fact we are very, very bold in what we are doing. I am not violating the IRS code 501(c)(3). I don't consider myself violating that, but I do consider myself exercising my free speech."
But Americans United says Brandon is wrong. Federal law prohibits 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations, including houses of worship, from intervening in elections by endorsing or opposing candidates.
"The leadership of this church knowingly chose to violate the law," Lynn said. "In my view, the church should lose its tax-exempt status."
In a letter to the IRS sent today, Lynn wrote, "I urge you to investigate this matter and fully enforce our laws."
Independent media has become the last firewall against government and corporate lies. Yet, with frightening regularity, independent media sources are losing funding, closing down or being blacked out by Google and Facebook. Never before has independent media been more endangered. If you believe in Common Dreams, if you believe in people-powered independent media, please support our critical Winter campaign now and help us fight—with truths—against the lies that would smother our democracy. Please help keep Common Dreams alive and growing.
Americans United is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom.

Looks like Nicki Minaj is no longer reloading…on Twitter.
On Sunday the Pink Friday pop sensation apparently deactivated her Twitter account leaving millions of followers begging for the Barbz to come back.
"Like seriously, its but so much a person can take. Good f--king bye," Nicki wrote.
Harsh words from the talented rap star. But is the Twitter-enthusiast really giving up the social media site for good?
Possibly. After engaging in a tweet feud with a few of her followers, Nicki suddenly proclaimed Twitter silence.
Before pulling the plug on @NickiMinaj, she had been targeted by criticism from some followers for comments on ABC's Nightline last week in which she said she "wanted to kill" her abusive dad. "I wish he was dead," Minaj said.
The pop star also had just blocked the fan site NickiDaily.com, which she accused of posting leaked music from her album.
NickiDaily.com is now as dead as Nicki's Twitter account—the site's home page has 'closed' written in bold black letters and the track "Dear Old Nicki" plays in a loop.
No word thus far as to whether the fan site is real reason Nicki deleted her Twitter account, where she reguarly interacts with millions of followers.
Although the rap star might be silent on Twitter, she's still garnering praise for her latest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Her sophomore album debuted at No. 1 last week and Minaj was most recently called the "most influential female rapper of all time" by The New York Times.
Nicki, if you're reading this, let's get some of that influence we love back on Twitter, OK?

In an interview with "FORTUNE" magazine, Microsoft General Counsel and Senior Vice President Brad Smith and Vice President Horacio Gutierrez allege that open-source software (OSS) such as Linux is infringing on 235 patents owned by the software giant. And now it's time for companies and users who use these solutions to pay up, they say: Microsoft is now seeking royalties from the use of its patented technologies.
"This is not a case of some accidental, unknowing infringement," Gutierrez told "FORTUNE." "There is an overwhelming number of patents being infringed."
According to Smith, the Linux kernel alone violates 42 Microsoft patents; whereas the OS's UI violates another 65. Meanwhile, the open-source office productivity suite OpenOffice.org violates 45 Microsoft patents. Other open-source applications violated an additional 83 Microsoft patents, Smith says.
Although Linux fans will be quick to charge Microsoft with spreading FUD, for "fear, uncertainty and doubt," a more rational and useful task would be to figure out whether Microsoft's charges are legitimate and, if so, what needs to be done. Lawyers representing the free software movement--I'm assuming they're working pro bono, of course--say that software isn't legally patentable because it's just a collection of mathematical algorithms. Besides, while 235 sounds like a big number--heck, it is a big number--many of those patents might eventually be found to be invalid anyway.
Furthermore, Linux suddenly has some friends in big business. Companies such as Wal-Mart are using Linux software, and Sony, Philips, Novell, Red Hat, and NEC recently banded together to form the Open Invention Network (OIN) so that they could acquire a portfolio of patents that they could use in case a big software company tried to sue Linux backers for patent infringement. Thus, if Microsoft does sue anyone over this issue, the OIN could sue Microsoft for similar violations in retaliation. They might even get a court to force Microsoft to temporarily stop selling Windows, which could be devastating to the company.
According to the "FORTUNE" article, Microsoft has been lobbying the Linux and open-source community for patent royalties for years. Red Hat began talks with Microsoft last year, and Microsoft of course announced a deal in November 2006 with Novell, another Linux maker, in which the company agreed not to sue each other for violating each other's patents. Apparently, Microsoft had hoped that the Novell deal would serve as an example that other Linux companies would follow. So far, none have.

The Wooden Window & Door Company
- Location: multiple locations
- Website: woodenwindow.ca
When we bought our house, the first words our dad spoke were, "Oh good. All the windows have already been replaced." Sure, vinyl windows are great for saving on heating costs, but they also lack the character of the originals. So if we ever change them back ourselves, we know just where we're heading.
Canada's Wooden Window & Door Company creates period-perfect sashes and doors for homes, churches and museums that are an exact match for any originals. Unusual angles and arches? No problem. Pocket or paneled, the website proclaims that there's "nothing you can imagine that we can't create." And looking at all the options, we tend to agree!
Our very favorite find are the carriage doors that look like the swing-open versions, but rise at the push of a button.
Note, however, that good looks are popular. Right now there's a turn-around time of about 13 weeks for orders.

SWINDON is lacking a magnet attraction and a broad range of accommodation for holidaymakers, who continue to avoid the town when they are looking for a 'staycation'.
The Great Britain Tourism Surveyuses three-year averages to determine an annual figure for total trips, holiday trips, total nights, holiday nights, total spend and holiday spend by British residents between 2006 and 2013.
The figures revealed for Swindon show an average of 357,000 total trips were being made in 2006 with 289,000 trips in 2013, with six per cent fewer of those trips being made for holidays.
The declining interest in holidays around Swindon is underlined by the fact there were 184,000 holiday nights in 2006 and an average of just 154,000 in 2013, with as few as 84,000 in 2012.
Despite the decreasing number of stays, holiday spend has not diminished. As it was in 2006, £11m is spent in the town each year in connection with holidays, though this figure too has grown elsewhere in the country.
David Andrews, chief executive at Visit Wiltshire, said: "Throughout the noughties the whole of Wiltshire lost lots of market share.
"There was complacency, a lack of investment. Tourism providers weren't investing in their product in Swindon and Wiltshire.
"There was a fragmented approach across the county. Everyone was advertising themselves separately.
"Tourism has been growing at a rapid rate and is set to grow for a number of years. A lot of our competitors put a lot of money into tourism."
Mr Andrews said the landscape had changed for Swindon since 2011, with the rise of his organisation as a unifying factor in pushing all marketing in the same direction.
Swindon has plenty of budget and three-star hotels, according to the tourism chief, and the town should be looking to target business tourism in the future – exploiting the town's location.
Mr Andrews said there was little concern surrounding the closure of the Menzies and Madison hotels in the past nine months.
He said the Madison had failed to invest in its rooms and as such, suffered with online reviewers, whereas the Menzies simply shut because of a national restructuring.
Marketing is improving. Visit Wiltshire currently has an ad campaign running at London's mainline train stations with plugs for tourists bringing their bicycles on the train to Swindon for a cycling break.
On the problems facing Swindon in the tourism sector, Mr Andrews said: "Brand and identity are something Swindon Council will be talking about with us over the coming weeks.
"One challenge is getting a broader range of accommodation in place to suit a broader range of tourists.
"Greater investment is needed in marketing, promotion and extending the working being done in order to encourage Swindon as a tourist destination."
Mr Andrews said Swindon, despite its reputation in some quarters, could become a true tourist destination if it had the right product.
"No destination can be everything to everybody and it's about being smart with who you are targeting," he said.
"Swindon's location is a great asset. There are a number of groups looking for good value accommodation in the right location and on that level, Swindon can compete with anywhere.
"Anybody that says Swindon doesn't have potential is wrong. Tourism is growing at five per cent-a-year.
"We need to make that effort, otherwise we are missing out on the growing market."
Coun Garry Perkins (Con, Haydon Wick), cabinet member for economy, regeneration and culture, put much of the decline down to the recession, but offered answers on why other local authorities had performed better during the same economic downturn.
"There hasn't been a good spend on that side of things for the last five or six years on that side," he said.
"People don't have the money to spend on frivolities, when food and rent is costing so much.
"Swindon Council has spent quite a bit of time looking at attractions like Steam, Swindon Museum & Art Gallery, Coate Water and Lydiard Park.
"We are aware we need to make more of those attractions.
"We also have the project currently going on at the museum, where money has been pumped in to rediscover some of the town's older art pieces. That's the type of change which might attract more people.
"It's an industrialised town with a lot of heritage. We are beginning to pull that to the front so that people can understand it's not just a town on the way to London or the West Country.
"There's an awful lot happening in Swindon. We just need to find some money to hang some banners up to show that off.
"The fact Swindon has not been seen to be a tourist attraction should not be a barrier to future success.
"We just need to get people into Swindon so they can see it within that area."
Coun Perkins drew attention to the project currently ongoing at the Oasis Leisure Centre and the impending arrival of the Europe's largest indoor ski slope as the type of magnet which could pull a regular stream of people into the town.
"We can't pinch Stonehenge and bring people in here with that," he said. "Unfortunately we lack one of those draws in Swindon. We have to create our own magnet.
"Once we bring them in we have to keep them here."
Swindon & Cricklade Railway, based near Blunsdon, accounts for 16,000 visitors each year to the local area.
It's publicity manager Adrian Brodie said ignorance can be a significant factor, with people living on the doorstep of the heritage railway not even knowing it's there, let alone visitors from beyond the county.
"Swindon & Cricklade Railway is often referred to as Swindon's best-kept secret. We have locals around here saying they we didn't know we existed despite living nearby for more than 20 years," he said.
"It makes me ask what planet they are on. We have a web presence, we appear in the local press and advertise all the time.
"Maybe the issue is Swindon itself. If somebody asks why they should come to Swindon, well, what's in Swindon?
"It's best known as the home of the Great Western Railway and the works are still up to date, but what else does it have to offer?
"Swindon's not a town we shop in at all. I don't enjoy Swindon at all. The town probably does need a big makeover, it's a bit dated now."

December Daily | Day 5
Another day filled with work and school – but this time we had nothing planned for the afternoon and evening and we both got off early. This meant plenty of time together by the wood fire (it really is the best place to be on cold, cold days such as these!) – so we made it a Movie Night and watched a Holiday favorite: The Polar Express. This is our third year seeing it during Advent, so we can now call it a tradition, can't we?! I love how MT several times during the movie shout out:
"Look at that, it's almost impossible to think someone drew that! It is so well made! Wow, so talented"
Below is a screen shot I took of the movie during one of our little breaks.
This was also the night were MT decided what we should have for dinner. Meat balls with red sauce and pasta. One of his favorite things. He had to help making it too (even though he didn't want to that much….).
Yep! It was a good day!

When Travis d'Arnaud was demoted to the minors, the coaching staff down there had a two-hour talk with him, and he emerged a new man. Well, a new hitter, at least.
Since returning to the Mets on June 24th, d'Arnaud is hitting .295 (18 for 61) with five doubles, three home runs and 10 RBI.
D'Arnaud said he needed to clear his head and Frank Viola said the coaches just got him to stop thinking. This riled up a certain subsection of Mets fans who claimed immediately that TDA's success was due to forgetting about the Philosophy (so capitalized because it's taken on a life of itself) and just began swinging more.
False. Nonsense. And false nonsense.
Understand something. d'Arnaud's Pitches per Plate Appearance (PPPA) for the season is 3.54 and his PPPA is 3.52 since his return.
What really happened in Las Vegas is that the coaching staff got him to stop thinking so much about his mechanics and focus on the pitches he was seeing.
The (at the time) season-long slump had gotten in his head and he kept worrying about where his hands were, where his feet were and often made adjustments to his swing, sometimes from plate appearance to plate appearance within the same game.
TDA is a free swinger by nature, so the idea that adhering to a philosophy of taking pitches led to his struggles is two-fold absurd.
First, he clearly wasn't taking pitches. If he had enough plate appearances to qualify, he'd be tied for 14th worst in all of baseball in that category.
And second, he's seeing the same amount of pitches in his second stint with the big club, but the results have been night and day. All he needed was to change his mindset, not his approach.

Free Realms Beta Sign-Ups Begin
As if you didn't already have enough to do, we bring you the news that it's sign-up time for Sony Online Entertainment's newest MMO, Free Realms.
Well, for the beta, anyway. This will be a free-to-play MMO - none of that monthly payment garbage - and while it should be similar to other massively multiplayer online experiences, it will clearly be geared toward a younger audience. It's like a colorful and less serious version of World of Warcraft; the characters are humorous, there are plenty of mini-games, and for the most part, you can lose yourself in a dynamically designed animated world. For more information and to sign up for the beta, head on over to official site and check it out. They've got a video there under "What's Free Realms?" that will best showcase the upcoming title, and chances are, this one will appeal most to the teenage crowd who have plenty of extra hours in the day. And if you don't think multiplayer cartoon-y titles can work, we remind you of the GameCube's Animal Crossing, which was extremely popular.
Of course, a lot of you are probably waiting for more news concerning SOE's other project, MAG. Recently unveiled at E3, this is the one that will boast 256 players at once, and that ought to intrigue many a gamer out there.

A layered quilt for a quilter is like a blank canvas for an artist. So many choices! Today I have made several choices that barely took a moments thought. Mexican or Italian in the crock pot? Mexican! Go out to the grocery store or not? NOT! Take a nap or pass on the nap? Nap! Get dressed after my shower or put my jammies back on...Jammies! What quilting motifs to quilt on my quilt?????? Now there is a stumper! What I do know is that a quilting motif can make or break the overall design. I know this from personal experience and have in the past been unhappy with a quilt because of the quilting choice. I actually know someone who sent their quilt to a long arm quilters and picked every stitch out because she didn't like it! So these final decisions are not to be taken lightly! I love this wall hanging and so the choices are being made incrementally. Which is fun!
So far, I have got my little stars, my flowers in the baskets and the baskets themselves outlined. Each choice builds upon the previous and, this process although takes time, gives me joy as I see each step to completion...I am finding it more challenging as I work my way out...now for...sashing, triangle setting squares and border...hummm reminds me of cooking!
It will take me several days to finish this quilt. One never wants to rush the muse and afterall I have so many others to fill in the spaces when I take a break to mull over my next choice!

Daughter provides will to live
Aug. 23, 2008 at 3:23 a.m.
Kevin Nurse fumbled with his keys, trying to unlock the door of the two-family house he rented in the Manhattan borough of Queens.
He had just left for work when he remembered something he had forgotten back at his apartment.
It was about 4 a.m. March 13, 2006, when he hurried through the door and ran up the flight of stairs.
Then he went blind.
The moment started Kevin on a journey that took him to death's doorstep. Four years later, memories from his journey still bring tears to his eyes.
Lightheaded, Kevin hugged the support beam at the top of the steps for 20 minutes before his vision returned.
"Something was just telling me whatever you do don't fall down. Hold on, and let's see what happens from here," Kevin said.
Rather than seek medical help, Kevin called in sick to the UPS office where he had worked for 17 years. He fell asleep, thinking he was exhausted from a hectic weekend full of activities with family.
A good team
The 20-minute commute to pick up his daughter, Hailee, passed slowly.
Kevin and his roommate, Kevin Jackson, known as Preme, would pick up Hailee from the other side of Queens.
The father and daughter made a good team.
She loved to eat.
He loved to cook.
And the two made a night of doing both every other weekend.
Cooking seafood was the dad's specialty, and the daughter knew exactly what she wanted when she got in the 2002 Ford Explorer – lobster.
"It looked like she got in a fight with a bucket of oil," Preme said. "She had lobster in her hair, all over her face and arms up to her elbows. Her shirt was soaked. There was lobster everywhere."
"And then, it was gone," Jackson said of how quickly Hailee ate.
Kevin's own childhood pushed him to be a better father to Hailee.
Born Feb. 27, 1971, Kevin never had a father to guide him through life, learning mostly from trial and error.
His parents, two Panamanians, became friends when they were 12 and married young. But the childhood sweetheart's relationship soured, and they separated after Kevin was born, divorcing in 1977. He would see his father a only few times growing up.
Kevin struggled with bitter feelings toward his father for leaving them and starting a new life. "What about me and my siblings? Where did we go wrong? We were just kids," he said.
But Kevin was determined not to mimic his dad's departure.
When Kevin and his wife divorced, Kevin pushed for and won joint custody of Hailee.
Heart trouble leadsto blindness
His blindness came after years of heart trouble for Kevin.
Kevin thought he was fatigued, but doctors diagnosed a more severe problem – the left side of his heart had stopped working. An infection, viral cardiomyopathy, had taken a horrible toll.
They predicted he had at most two weeks to live unless he allowed them to implant a device that would keep him alive.
"At that point, I just gave up," Kevin said. "I said to myself, 'If I had cancer or anything else, this would be the breaking point where it was out of my control,'
"I just shut down from there. I didn't want to talk to anybody or see anybody. I just accepted it."
A priest and a psychologist tried to talk him into accepting the device, but it was his mom who finally got through to him by talking about his daughter.
"My mom showed up," Kevin said. "She said she understood how I had lived a full life and done a lot of things many people would never even dream of doing, but there was no way she could tell this little girl that something had happened to him."
"You can't quit on me," Kevin remembered his mom saying. "This isn't about you anymore. This is about Hailee."
Doctors put the two-pound titanium pump into Kevin's abdominal cavity.
The device would keep Kevin alive for about a year.
The long-term cure Kevin needed was a new heart.
He was bumped to the top of the transplant list, but because of his size, 6 feet 1 inch tall and 250 pounds, Kevin needed the right heart – one in perfect condition from a man of roughly the same size.
So Kevin waited for his match to die.
The final installment in this series will print Wednesday.

2013 Michigan music roundup Part 3 of 3
- December 20th, 2013
- Posted in Reviews
- By Sean Bradley
- Write comment
The final part of the Lansingmusic.TV 2013 Michigan music round up is here! Check out part 1 here and part 2 here. Here's to a great 2014 in Michigan music.
Small Houses "Exactly Where You Wanted to Be" LP
Now a resident of Atlanta, Ga., previously a resident of Philadelphia, Pa. and before that, a resident of many Michigan cities, Jeremy Quentin, aka Small Houses, released a great followup LP to 2011′s North this year. Similar to Frontier Ruckus or Chris Bathgate, Small Houses carries a midwestern ethos wherever he's located.
From my Central Michigan Life review: ""Oh, Hiding Out" starts the record off with lush guitars, sharp harmonica and unusual anthem-like vocals during the verses. "Saint Louis isn't gone/No, it's hidden and waiting in my voice," he sings with volume and conviction.
Without any drums to be heard on the record, Quentin relies on instruments such as an acoustic guitar, piano and his voice to effectively tell the stories his songs convey.
"Sarah's Song" is a standout track. With the piano providing the hook, it's reminiscent of New Jersey, Springsteen-influenced punk band The Gaslight Anthem. It has memorable vocals and powerful piano chords that stick in your head with a heck of a hook.
"You were exactly where you wanted to be," he sings on "Our Sweet," a track which has storytelling at its finest."
Frontier Ruckus "Eternity of Dimming" LP
Metro Detroit's Frontier Ruckus released the massive and expansive "Eternity of Dimming" 20-song album back in February. They then toured the U.S., Europe, played many a summer festival including Lollapalooza then toured again, this time in the midwest and east coast. Ever the workhorses, they're already working on a followup LP.
Full of intimately specific lyrics (all 5,500 or so of them), this is a great record if you just want to get lost in a sea of localities, memories and emotions. Songs like "Dealerships" and "Eyelashes" show why this band will continue toward more and more success.
Jahshua Smith "The Final Season" LP
Now living in Washington, D.C., Jahshua Smith, a member of Lansing-based hip hop collective Blat! Pack, released a great hip hop LP called The Final Season in February. With high chart performances on the CMJ hip hop chart, look out for more from him in the future.
From my Central Michigan Life review: "With cameos from a who's-who of Michigan artists from Joe Hertler (on lead track "Seven Year Itch") to fellow BLAT! Pack members Philthy, The Amature, Yellowkake and Red Pill, the diversity shown in the featured artists is just as diverse as the production on the tracks themselves. "Seven Year Itch" features Hertler's soulful crooning on the chorus, while "Carry On/The Ark" features Philthy's lisp-laden flow.
Smith's lyrics range from the political to the personal, with a party track thrown in here and there. On "Censored," he raps about making it to college "but still had to wait for Uncle Sam to split the bill."
It's a bit of a stream-of-consciousness, pointed diatribe with a bit of hope tied to it. There's a light at the end of the tunnel here."
Cavalcade – Dear Entrails LP
After founding vocalist Zak Warren parted ways with the band and recruited Wastelander's Sean Peters to take on vocal duties, Cavalcade, Lansing's "weird metal" champions came back in May and June in full force. The band had a busy second half of 2013: They released two albums worth of material ("Dear Entrails, …" and "15 Year Dog Plan") on their Bandcamp and, later in the year, played the Housecore Horror Film Festival in Austin, Texas and released a 7″ record, their first physical release in half a decade.
If I were to pick an Album of the Year for 2013, this would be it.
Here's a little bit about their "Dear Entrails, …" record, from my (quite lengthy) LMTV review:
"An album about failure never sounded so successful in its vision. The self-described "weird metal" band have been combining disparate genres like avant, jazz, sludge, doom and even traditional instruments like tuba and saxophone since at least 2006 and here, after releasing their debut album a few years ago, finally show what their twisted vision is capable of.
"Agents of Bolivian", with a backwards guitar effect in the intro, puts Cavalcade's sound in an angular, skewed template. Guitar solos that could fit on a modern day thrash inspired-metal record clash with tuba and glockenspiel, although the latter is minimal while the overall tempo here is sludge and doom-inspired but maybe a little bit faster."

They are driven in spring/summer/fall and never in the snow. I put 58,000 KM on them. The Dunlop is an average tire with good road holding on highways. However it creates fairly loud noise on road joints. During the last year the car jarred on ruts and became very sensitive on the steering (pulling to the sides especially on braking). The wear on these tires is quite acceptable. I replaced them because of the issues and age (5 years). The Dunlop is more expensive and not cost effective.
