ESSAY- Machiavellian: How to fight corruption of money
What is to be done about the influence of big money on the American political system? Judging from a recent Supreme Court decision that ruled Vermont's highly restrictive campaign-finance laws unconstitutional, the justices are as confused as any of us. The vote was 6-3, but the opinions were all over the place on the question of how closely connected the First Amendment right to support a candidate is to the "right," if there is one, to support that candidate with cash.
Just maybe we're attacking the problem of money and politics from the wrong direction. And maybe the man with the answer is Machiavelli. Not Machiavelli the student of political intrigue and amoral expediency, but Machiavelli the constitutional theorist– the one who, more so than our Founding Fathers, worried about how to check the influence of wealthy elites.
Or so suggests John McCormick, a political theorist at the University of Chicago. In an article in a recent issue of The American Political Science Review, McCormick argues that the Founders were far more concerned about curbing the power of "the masses, the mob, the multitude" than the wealthy. As a result, they ignored a longstanding tradition in constitutional theory– embraced and expounded upon by Machiavelli in his famous ``Discourses on Livy"– arguing that governments require special institutional features to guarantee the common man a voice.
"The campaign-financing issue exacerbates the problem of money in a democracy," McCormick says in an interview, "but the deeper foundational issue is that in electoral republics you already have a built-in bias for the wealthy."
The Founders tried to avoid such a bias by decreeing, for example, that there would be no property requirements for congressional candidates. But Machiavelli recognized that such formally open systems still prefer candidates with good educations, honed speaking skills, and the time and money to campaign. Elections, to him, basically amounted to the common people deciding who among the elite would govern them.
After that, there was little to check the ``insolence" of the grandi. Machiavelli therefore held in high esteem institutions like Rome's tribune of the plebeians, common people elected by their peers out of the larger council of the plebeians, from which aristocrats were excluded. The tribunes could veto resolutions passed by Rome's aristocratic Senate, and did– nixing, for example, proposals to distribute grain in ways that disadvantaged the poor.
In his ``Discourses," in which Machiavelli proposed a constitution for Florence, he included a feature based on the Roman model.
There were several students of constitutional theory among the American Founders, men like James Madison, who was familiar with Machiavelli. So why didn't the Founders build more skepticism of elites into the government they designed? Why did no one, for example, propose an income ceiling on candidates for the House of Representatives?
Some founders, including John Adams, did speak of a "mixed government" featuring an aristocratic Senate and a plebeian House, but that kind of talk was viewed by most Americans as too Old World. Since the Constitution was ratified, however, various efforts have been made to build in checks on the power of monied elites: public referenda, for example, and the direct election of senators.
But McCormick has a more radically Machiavellian idea. He proposes amending the Constitution to create America's own Tribunate Assembly. (Yes, he realizes this is not going to happen anytime soon.)
McCormick's Tribunate would consist of 51 private citizens (more or less a random number), selected by lottery (no campaign expenses!) from among those whose household net worth falls below $345,000, thereby excluding the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans. In his thought experiment, the plebeians, during one-year terms, would discuss the business of government five days a week and would be empowered to veto one Supreme Court decision, one act of congressional legislation, and one executive order each year. They could also call one nationwide referendum on any issue they chose, and initiate impeachment proceedings.
McCormick notes that modern republics ``are no less vulnerable than their historical antecedents to corruption, subversion, and usurpation by the wealthy," yet needless to say, his idea, and his criticism of the Founders, raise some eyebrows among his peers. Sean Wilentz, a professor of history at Princeton and author of the recent book The Rise of American Democracy, writes in an e-mail that McCormick's argument "in a sense, misses the point." The Founders, he says, explicitly wanted to do away with any connection between branches of government and ``particular social estates or classes," creating a wholly new idea of popular sovereignty.
And given how egalitarian the Constitution was for its time, some scholars find it a bit odd to complain that it wasn't egalitarian enough. As evidence of the document's democratic radicalism, Yale Law School's Akhil Reed Amar, author of America's Constitution: A Biography, points to the fact that federal representatives receive salaries (so the nonwealthy might serve), and even the requirement that senators must be at least 30 years old (so the name recognition of the well-born would not skew elections).
Still, most agree with McCormick that checking the provincial views of uneducated citizens was also a goal of the Constitution's representative system of government. The representatives, they expected, would be a "natural aristocracy" of the talented. But McCormick argues that with the Founders' eyes on the problems of direct democracy, they neglected to properly consider the corrupting influences of wealth. Had they remembered their Machiavelli, they might have been more suspicious of those natural aristocrats, McCormick writes– and of the people who would one day finance their campaigns.

Stamford city worker uses city truck to prune Malloy house
STAMFORD -- Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's Stamford property has been getting a lot of sprucing up lately -- by a city employee using a city truck while landscaping the million-dollar Shippan home.
Neighbors said that when they saw a landscaper trimming the hedges and trees at Malloy's 277 Ocean Drive East property -- identified as deputy tree warden Ron Markey -- they asked if he was for hire and were told no.
"That's when I asked him, `Oh well, why are you working over there then? Why are you working over at Dan Malloy's house on Saturday?'" said Peggy Cobb, who lives on the other side of the hedges on Miramar Lane. "He said, `Because that's the governor's house.' I said, `That's not right. That seems like favoritism to me.'"
A truck with city license plates could also be seen visiting the home, which public records show that Malloy is renting out for $8,000 a month while he and Connecticut's first family occupy the Governor's Residence in Hartford.
Malloy, who served as the city's mayor from 1995 to 2009, said everything was above board and that he had received a bill of $1,597.50 for the work that he plans to pay. A Democrat in his first term as governor, Malloy said he had no contact with the landscaping company, or Markey.
"Whether someone did something wrong -- or didn't -- I have no independent knowledge," Malloy said in a phone interview, when asked about the apparent use of a city truck.
Located in one of Stamford's most desirable neighborhoods overlooking Long Island Sound, the restored barn was at the center of an investigation a decade ago by the state's attorney into home renovations by city contractors. Malloy was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing.
Markey denied that he was doing any favors for Malloy, saying he was hired as a subcontractor for Stamford-based Muskus Landscaping and Tree Services to do 20 hours of work the past two Saturdays by the property's caretaker, Al Barbarotta.
"I said, `Nothing's for nothing. There's no favors here,'" said Markey, an arborist and landscape specialist who city records show earned $118,000 last year.
Markey said the payload of his personal pickup truck was so full of debris that he couldn't stow his ladder safely, and asked a co-worker who was on duty at the Fairview Avenue beach to come pick it up.
"He was within a mile. That's what I'm guilty of, somebody picking up my ladder," Markey said. "I didn't do anything other than put my ladder in a city vehicle."
Markey's boss, Director of Operations Ernie Orgera, said he doesn't condone the use of city property for private work and plans to talk to Human Resources about the situation.
"I don't think it's that big of a deal -- maybe a warning letter or something like that," Orgera said. "But we can't condone that type of behavior. He shouldn't have done it."
Orgera corroborated Markey's account of the use of the city truck.
"He just told me that he had a job there, a private job that he took care of," Orgera said. "And he filled up his truck and couldn't get the ladder on and he just called someone to come help him."
Current Mayor Michael Pavia, a Republican who is not seeking re-election, said he plans to investigate the issue.
"I don't really know anything about it, but we'll look into it certainly," he said. "Certainly if there's any kind of violation, it will be dealt with. But at this point, I don't know anything more than what you have."
A message seeking comment was left Tuesday for John Muskus, who the State Elections Enforcement Commission showed gave $75 each to GOP gubernatorial hopefuls Michael Fedele and Mark Boughton in 2010.
Public records identified the property's renter as Mansoor Ashraf, who declined to comment.
In 2011, Malloy listed his Shippan home on the market for $1.795 million, only to cut the price to $1.58 million for the 2,893-square-foot dwelling. Malloy Realty Group of 545 Bedford St. in Stamford was the listing broker for the two-story, four-bedroom home, which is not currently on the market.
"I expect the house will be for sale at some point, but it's not today," said Ron Malloy, the governor's older brother and a principal in the agency.
The elder Malloy, who also serves as Stamford's Democratic registrar of voters, said he had no knowledge of the pruning project.
"I absolutely have no idea of any work being done there," Malloy said. "You're calling me out of the blue."
Cobb is new to the Shippan neighborhood, but is familiar with Stamford city government. Her son-in-law is city Rep. Sal Gabriele, R-16, who recently wrapped up a long legal battle with the city over legal fees associated with an ethics complaint lodged against him in 2010 and then later withdrawn.
Cobb and her husband, Fred, said they decided to speak out because they are frustrated with what they see as ongoing impropriety in city government.
"Citizens have to be on the lookout for any kind of waste, fraud, corruption, nepotism -- whatever," Fred Cobb said. "Everyone we meet who works for the city is very nice -- but there's a difference between being nice and having their hand in your pocket. It chips away at your trust."
Markey said the Cobbs saved $200 in pruning fees that are being absorbed by Malloy, for whom did landscaping for the first time.
"I was under the assumption that the house would go up for sale, they wanted to make it look really nice and let me shape the trees," Markey said. "It was the three trees in the front that just needed an arborist's eye."

Retaliation bias tops race in EEOC complaints1
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced that private sector workplace discrimination charge filings with the federal agency nationwide hit an unprecedented level of 99,922 during fiscal year (FY) 2010, which ended Sept. 30, 2010.
Despite the increase in overall charges filed with the EEOC last fiscal year, the Commission dramatically slowed the growth of the charge inventory. As a result, the federal agency ended FY 2010 with 86,338 pending charges – an increase of only 570 charges, or less than one percent. Between fiscal years 2008 and 2009, the EEOC's pending inventory increased 15.9 percent.
"We are pleased to see that our rebuilding efforts are having an impact on how efficiently and effectively the Commission enforces the civil rights laws protecting the nation's workers," said EEOC Chair Jacqueline A. Berrien. "Discrimination continues to be a substantial problem for too many job seekers and workers, and we must continue to build our capacity to enforce the laws that ensure that workplaces are free of unlawful bias."
The FY 2010 data show that the EEOC filed 250 lawsuits, resolved 285 lawsuits, and resolved 104,999 private sector charges. Through its combined enforcement, mediation and litigation programs, the EEOC secured more than $404 million in monetary benefits from employers – the highest level of monetary relief ever obtained by the Commission through the administrative process – to promote inclusive and discrimination-free workplaces.
The FY 2010 enforcement and litigation statistics, which include trend data, are available online at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics/enforcement/index.cfm.
According to the FY 2010 data, all major categories of charge filings in the private sector increased – which include charges filed against state and local governments.
These include charges alleging discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Equal Pay Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act; and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). Last year, for the first time ever, retaliation under all statutes (36,258) surpassed race (35,890) as the most frequently filed charge, while allegations based on religion (3,790), disability (25,165) and age (23,264) increased.
In its first year of enforcement, the EEOC received 201 charges under GINA. Historically, race had been the most frequently filed charge since the EEOC became operational in 1965.http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics/enforcement/charges.cfm.
The surge in charge filings may be due to multiple factors, including economic conditions, increased diversity and demographic shifts in the labor force, employees' greater awareness of the law, improvements in EEOC's intake practices and customer service, and greater accessibility to the public.
The FY 2010 data also show:
• The mediation program ended the year with a record 9,370 resolutions, 10 percent more than FY 2009 levels, and more than $142 million in monetary benefits;
• The EEOC also expanded its reach to underserved communities by providing educational training, and public outreach events to approximately 250,000 persons;
• The agency continued its concerted effort to build a strong national systemic enforcement program. At the end of the fiscal year, 465 systemic investigations, involving more than 2,000 charges, were being undertaken;
• The EEOC resolved a total of 7,213 requests for hearings in the federal sector, securing more than $63 million in relief for parties who requested hearings. The agency also resolved more than 4,600 federal sector appeals – 400 more than in FY 2009.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

The Courtyard, China
Location, location, location. Fill it out in triplicate and file it under spectacular. That's about the best way to begin to appreciate that you're smoking a Bolivar Belicoso Fino across the moat from the Forbidden City. As in The Last Emperor. As in Beijing. As in a long way from anywhere you'd expect to find a cigar bar resting atop a superb, fusion restaurant with a kitchen run by a chef who trained at New York's Bouley.
The Courtyard was designed to be a home — it's a small house that current owner Handel Lee, a Chinese-American lawyer, bought after he moved to Beijing from New York.
"I was going to live here," Lee said, "but the location was too good."
The Forbidden City's East Gate is about 35 feet high. At the bottom of the wall is a moat. As the sun sets and the cigar divan upstairs darkens, you can look out the window at one of the most culturally astonishing shrines in the world. Lit up in green and blue, beyond the west wall of the Forbidden City, there is Coal Hill, a sort of replica of the imperial buildings of China. Taking in that view, an American realizes just how far away from home he really is.
That distance — both geographic and cultural — is one of the reasons The Courtyard became a restaurant. Lee wanted a place that felt a little like the spots in New York that he liked to frequent. Lucky for us, Lee likes his Cuban cigars and wine.
Start with a rum in the cigar divan and pair it with a pre-dinner Montecristo No. 4, which will run you about $20. Other choices are available at around the same price, or you can spend more than $30 for a Cohiba Siglo V, the most expensive cigar on the list.
When you're hungry, head downstairs to the dining room, notable for its small bridge and fine artwork. You're in for a treat. Rey Lim, the chef from New York, still misses the properly oily slices of pizza from home, but has clearly not let that sully his regard for your taste buds. Instead of butter or olive oil, the bread comes with a Chinese white bean hummus bathed in sweet balsamic vinaigrette. The appetizers are appealing and the grapefruit-sugar beet arugula salad is not something you're going to find at a Beijing duck restaurant. The spring asparagus and parmesan chips remind you that vegetables, even in China, can be served cold and fresh.
The entrées are diverse and impressive. Herb-roasted blue marlin, poppy-seed crusted salmon and king prawns with herbal essence rounded out the seafood selection on a recent night. The chicken vindaloo, an Indian dish, was a bit sedate, but the Peking duck spring rolls came stacked and crispy, filled with grilled shiitake mushrooms and bean sprout salad in a citrus sauce. There's at least one special vegetarian dish on the menu.
The Courtyard boasts a 120-bottle wine list. The better choices tend to be pricey, as expected, a reminder of how far you are from the vineyards of France and California and how close to the Gobi Desert.
Dessert, if you have room, is best kept on the light and cold side. The best choices were the mocha nougatine parfait and the pineapple-champagne granita over melon soup.
After dinner, head downstairs and take a look at some of China's best new art in the basement gallery. Or, of course, go back upstairs and have another dose of traditional Cuban medicine.
Alejandro Benes, a frequent contributor to Cigar Aficionado, was last seen at the Great Wall — not your local Chinese restaurant.

Stop me if you've heard this one before – five college students take a vacation at a creepy, deserted cabin in the woods. They intend to party and hook up in the midst of all the scenic natural beauty, but they're interrupted by… something horrific.
Of course you've heard it, it's like the basic plot of one out of every six horror movie ever made. But "Cabin in the Woods" is decidedly different. Right from the opening it informs the audience that everything is not as it seems, and then proceeds to unfold a witty, self-aware, genre-exceeding, half-parody that's entertaining and enjoyable to watch, especially for fans of the horror genre.

Metro-North fire delays to continue for weeks
Weeks before speed improves; 18 months before new system installed
It will take a year and a half to replace the railroad signal equipment in the Cos Cob section of Greenwich that was damaged by a fire on Saturday, Metro-North said Tuesday.
The equipment, which dates to 1980, was due for a replacement as part of an overall signal upgrade on the New Haven Line, but not for another three years. Replacement will be expedited to 18 months.
A manual workaround is being set up that should eliminate the delays for trains traveling between Stamford and Port Chester, N.Y., spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said. It will take a week or two more to rig it up, she said.
"It's a very, very complicated system," Anders said.
Until the system is set up, there will be delays of 5 to 10 minutes, the railroad said. Although speeds should not be affected, the number of trains that can travel through that section of track is decreased, causing the delays.
The signals automatically control the moveable pieces of track that switch trains from one track to another during peak hours in order to run three of the four tracks in the direction that has the heaviest volume.
That cannot be done without the system.
Over the weekend, Metro-North workers physically positioned the switches to allow travel on two tracks in each direction, Anders said.
The manual system will require a worker to be stationed at the site at all times to work with a rail traffic controller to switch the tracks during rush hours, or if any problems arise that require trains to be moved to different tracks. Normally, these functions are done by the railroad's operations control center in Manhattan.
None of the interim measures will diminish safety, Anders said.
The fire has sparked another change for the railroad -- the Metro-North train schedule mobile device app will be updated to add "unavailable" to "on time" and "delay" under the category of train status
The cause of the fire in Cos Cob is still unknown. The new signal house, which is a joint project of the Connecticut Department of Transportation and Metro-North, is about 30 percent designed, Anders said.

The living room is a place for comfort and leisure. It's a place to relax and entertain family and guests, and in modern homes it's typically furnished with comfortable furniture and a number of electronics, including televisions, DVD players, cable TV boxes, sound systems and gaming consoles. Blending today's electronics with style and comfort to get the perfect living room for your home takes a little creativity and some interior design finesse. When arranging your living room, most people think of the typical configuration of a TV in front of the couch and chairs. But consider the way people move through the house and how they enter and exit the living room before placing your items.
Need a simple idea that will give an altogether different look to your living room? If yes then how about a sunken living space. If you are going to get a new house constructed or renovating your existing one then a sunken living room can be a great idea. So have a look at some living rooms of such kind here.

Ok, I can't take it anymore. I have reduced the intermittent horn in my 4333 cab to the bi-amp switch inside. I have cleaned it, made sure the blades contact as well as possible, but notice a problem. When I have a source playing through the horn it appears to produce less output than the other. When I touch the blades of switch (designated to the horn) or touch the surface the blades sweep across more output. The moment I remove the slot screwdriver, less output I had heard of hardwiring, but am unsure how to do so. Can I hardwire just the horns? How do I attempt this?
Thanks for your patience in my insanity!!!!

No place like it: Biz helps families cope
When Jeanne McCusker learned her mother had Lou Gehrig's disease, the degenerative disease that had taken McCusker's grandmother's life years earlier, she and her family rallied to help her mother continue living at home. The experience shaped her future.
"It puts you in a different place to help people," she says.
After her mother died in 2001 at age 55, McCusker, a medical sales rep, decided to change careers. In November 2003, she started Home Instead Senior Care, a nonmedical home care business that sends support into homes where families are caring for aging or infirm relatives.
Just four months later, McCusker, 36, has expanded to more than 30 caregivers and says she's always hiring more.
Those caregivers are not medically trained, but are thoroughly screened, she says.
For about $15 per hour (paid out of pocket since insurance doesn't cover the service), Home Instead caregivers come to the home and perform a variety of household tasks, take clients to appointments, and generally keep them comfortable.
"It's akin to having family members there," says McCusker.
Jeanne McCusker says her business offers support to the entire family.

I have a friend who is American, and cannot qualify under any normal visa for the UK. I heard teaching is in high demand in the UK and it is possible to work as a teacher if the company you are working for applies for a special work permit for you.
My friend is not a qualified teacher (no teaching degree), but she has 6 months experience teaching a class of pre-school students by her self. If she travelled to England on a tourist visa (6 months) how likely is it she would be able to find a job (pre-school or otherwise) and the company would apply for a work permit for her?

DENVER — — When Natalie Munson went to bed on Friday night, she probably didn't dream her championship match would go like this.
If she did, she probably would have woke up in a cold sweat.
The Fairview sophomore, playing in her second straight No. 2 singles championship at Gates Tennis Center, was blanked by Denver East's Natalia Dellavalle 6-0, 6-0 in just under and hour.
"I walked in and I had a ton of nerves and I don't think I got them out until the very end," said Munson, who lost to Dellavalle in the regular season too. "She came out and played better tennis than I did."
After opening the match with a booming ace, it quickly went the wrong way for Munson.
Dellavalle, a senior, was the human equivalent of a wall was content playing deep behind the baseline and allowing Munson to make the errors. The first set lasted just 25 minutes and Dellavalle won the last 11 points to close it out.
That one game that might have turned the tide was the third game of the second set. Munson had three game points go by the wayside and Dellavalle closed it out with back-to-back winners and a Munson error.
"Then I would have known how to lay and what to do and how to get that one point," Munson said. "But truly I was just stuck and I wasn't changing a lot of things. It was in my head."
Said Fairview coach Susan Stensrud: "She just had a hard time fighting off the nerves and Natalia is strong and doesn't make any errors."
The numbers bore that out to. Dellavalle did make just six unforced errors in the match against just eight winners. The number that stood out was Munson's 27 unforced errors.
"She doesn't miss and I did have to force a few shots, but even when I tried, I wasn't making them like I usually was," Munson said.
Fairview's young No. 4 doubles team of Carolyn Roberts and Ellie Savage staved off two match points in the second set tiebreaker, forced a third set and eventually lost to Cherry Creek's Kara Lee and Jessica Diamond 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-4.
Ever the slow starting team according to Stensrud, Roberts and Savage got going in the second and had all the momentum going to the third after winning the final four points of the tiebreaker.
"They are the best team we have ever played," Savage said.
Creek jumped out to a quick 3-1 lead, before Fairview rallied back to even. A crazy fifth game that featured seven deuces typified the back-and-forth nature of the match.
"They were very mature and they didn't freak out about being behind," Stensrud said. "The don't worry about being behind. I thought they were very steady and deliberate and they get to everything."
The Knights finished fifth in the team race with 25 points. Cherry Creek won its 18 straight and 32 overall title with 83 points and Front Range League champion Fossil Ridge was second with 51 points.
Reigning No. 1 singles champion Rebecca Weissmann of Loveland was beat in straight set by fellow sophomore Tate Schroeder of Arapahoe, 6-4, 6-3.

Any time a quarterback wins more than one Super Bowl and still has a relatively long time to play, it's natural to wonder if he can do it again and again. We're always looking for the next legendary athlete, and so any QB who wins two titles instantly conjures up dreams of five and six and even seven more: An unprecedented run of dominance, the likes of which we'll never see again.
Now, fresh off his second championship, it's Eli Manning's turn to foster such daydreams. Eli is just 31 years old and has proven remarkably durable. He has a trio of gifted wideouts (Victor Cruz in particular), and he plays for a franchise that has an incredible knack for drafting dominant defensive linemen. Can he win another one? Can he win TWO? Can he, Eli freakin' Manning, break Joe Montana's stranglehold on the record for Super Bowl wins by a QB?
When Eli Manning won his first Super Bowl with the Giants way back in 2008, it was a classic underdog story. Eli wasn't supposed to win it all. More important: He wasn't supposed to do it again. That title, wonderful as it was, seemed like an anomaly. Eli threw 20 picks that season and had a completion percentage of just 56%.
If you watched him play early in his career, his inaccuracy was readily apparent (and sometimes, even now, it rears its ugly head, like when he overthrew Mario Manningham on a deep ball in the Super Bowl and was subsequently let off the hook by Cris Collinsworth). And Eli spent the next season posting a QB rating of just 86.4. It's not fair to think of that first Super Bowl as a fluke. But it did feel like it was a one-time deal.
But here's Manning now, with two titles in hand and looking very much like one of the best quarterbacks in football. He's certainly situated to win more titles.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
HOWEVAH, he can go ahead and look over at the man he vanquished if he wants to get a good idea of how hard it is to win five or six Super Bowls. Seven years ago, the idea of Tom Brady winning a fourth Super Bowl seemed like a very likely proposition. But those precious chances have since slipped away, and there's no guarantee that Brady will ever make it back. Things change in football. Injuries happen. New talents emerge. Brady may find himself having to play Peyton Manning TWICE next season. In a league like the NFL, which has a very level playing field, the idea of your team managing to be the exalted one out of 32 at the end of the season is hard enough to do ONCE.
Furthermore, there's no more underestimating Manning. No more pats on the head. No more treating him like a lucky kid. ELI IS A MAN NOW. As long as he's in charge of the Giants, he'll be expected to win 10+ games every season, just as his brother did with the Colts.
There's also the matter of playing in the NFC, which is LOADED with good quarterbacks: Brees, Rodgers, Vick, Romo, Stafford, Cutler, Newton, etc. Getting out of the NFC has become a treacherous proposition. It's not going to be any easier to vanquish the likes of New Orleans next season. That defense is going to get better.
So I think Eli, as it stands now, can probably win one more title. One. That's it. Expecting two or three more out of him, out of ANY QB, is craziness. If he can win that third title (and tie Brady in the process), he'll have performed an almost impossible feat. He may never get there. But the thing about Eli Manning now is, no one would be surprised if he pulled it off.

Utah State University is part of a seven-institution team that's one of 32 projects selected nationally for a U.S. Department of Energy program aimed at accelerating scientific breakthroughs needed to build a new energy economy. DOE secretary Ernest Moniz announced the awards June 18, 2014.
The Center for Biological Electron Transfer and Catalysis — BETCy, for short — received a four-year, $10 million grant through the DOE's Energy Frontier Research Center program. Based at Montana State University, BETCy partners, in addition to USU, include the University Georgia, the University of Washington, Arizona State University, the University of Kentucky and the Golden, Colo.-based National Renewable Energy Lab.
"Being part of this team places Utah State among the best basic energy science research programs in the nation," says Lance Seefeldt, professor in USU's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and USU's investigator on the project. "Being part of an ERFC opens the door to once-in-a-lifetime research opportunities for our students."
Seefeldt says BETCy's proposal, among more than 200 submitted, was compelling for several reasons.
"For one, our group includes some of the nation's most respected researchers in basic energy science," he says. "That includes small molecules research aimed at tapping energy from such renewable sources as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, waste products and nitrogen."
Seefeldt, an American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow, says his team is making progress in harnessing the chemistry needed to convert sunlight into usable energy.
"Crossing that chasm — using electrons from sunlight's phototrophic microbes to unlock energy from renewable sources — has been like crossing the Grand Canyon," he says. "But we're bridging that gap."
Seefeldt, recipient of USU's 2012 D. Wynne Thorne Career Research Award, has pioneered efforts to solve a long-standing mystery of how bacterial enzymes known as nitrogenases convert nitrogen into life-sustaining compounds on which all plants and animals depend. He and his colleagues' discoveries could have energy-saving implications for the world's food supply and fuel production.
In addition to his nitrogenase work, Seefeldt conducts biofuels research, including investigation of the feasibility of using algae as a fuel source. He and his students recently supplied algal biodiesel developed in Seefeldt's lab that powered a USU-built dragster to a land-speed record.
The 2014 DOE awards, totaling more than $100 million, are the second round of funding for the EFRC program, which was established about five years ago by the department's Office of Science. To date, EFRCs have produced 5,400 peer-reviewed scientific publications and hundreds of patent applications.
"The purpose of EFRC program is to seed large projects aimed at pulling researchers together to solve fundamental energy problems," Seefeldt says. "This is the pinnacle of U.S. energy research and we get to be a part of it."

Negative Test for Celiac? You May Still Develop the Disease
I think most of us understand that just because we don't have heart disease today, it doesn't mean that we cannot develop it sometime later in life. Ditto for diabetes, cancer and most all degenerative diseases. Why then, once someone has been tested for celiac disease once, do they think they never have to test for it again? Why do I hear from individuals across the country and around the world who think that one negative test confers life-long immunity?
Is it because celiac disease is a genetic condition? Do we assume that it's impossible to develop later in life?
In defense of how this inappropriate practice likely got started, I'm sure it stemmed from the erroneous idea that a genetic disease was something that you had or you didn't have and the passage of time was not going to change that. The thought was that if testing was found to be negative, then it was never needed to be retested since genes don't alter themselves.
While it is perfectly true that genes do not change, it turns out that the EXPRESSION of genes does. This means that you can have the genes for a specific disease but the gene can be either 'turned off' or 'turned on'. If a gene is in the 'off' position, the individual will not be expressing the disease, despite having the genes for it. Once the gene is turned 'on', the disease is now fully expressed.
This data is not completely new because we know that 35 to 40% of our population carries the genes for celiac disease while only 1 to 5% actually develops the disease. So obviously there is more to having active celiac disease than simply having the genes and eating gluten.
If the aforementioned 5% incidence of celiac disease sounds surprising it is because the research is only about a week old! On May 15th 2012 a study titled: "The Incidence and Risk of Celiac Disease in a Healthy US Adult Population" was published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. The authors stated that as the population they studied aged (over 35 years old), their incidence of celiac disease increased from 1% to 5%. The group they studied were active American military.
What is that elusive third factor? What determines if your immune system will keep a bad gene turned off or allow it to be turned on?
It turns out that the health of your small intestine and the good bacteria housed therein has everything to do with the expression of your genes and, more specifically, whether you will have active celiac disease or not. The health of that very important small intestine is not static. It can change over time depending on the state of your diet, the quality of the food you eat, whether you take medications or are exposed to toxins. Many factors affect the health of the small intestine and most of them are lifestyle related – meaning that you have control over them.
Imagine if there was a meter of some sort that warned you when you were nearing critical mass for gene expression. What if you received a text message that said: "Your genes are under great stress and are about to allow disease 'X' to express itself. If you don't take drastic action to reverse this process you will develop disease 'X', a degenerative disorder (think heart disease, cancer, diabetes, celiac disease).
That would be very helpful, wouldn't it? Unfortunately no such 'message' is going to be received. But what you can do is find out if you have a strong or weak small intestine – a leaky gut. You can evaluate the health of the probiotic population that is so critical in gene expression. You can find out if any infections of the small intestine are weakening its health and that of the immune system. You can find out if the immune system is so overwhelmed that it is moving towards autoimmune disease (celiac is one of over 100 autoimmune diseases), our third leading cause of death in the US.
You can do all of the above relatively easily and it may very well prevent a lifetime of chronic disease.
Please share this information with those you know and care about. If you are gluten intolerant you likely know others that you suspect have the problem. Let them know that a single negative test doesn't mean that they can't later develop the condition. Also, testing is not perfect. Backing up a negative test with a 30 day gluten elimination diet is a valid test in itself. If you feel better after eliminating gluten you have your answer. Ignoring a gluten intolerance is a bit like playing Russian roulette – it can end your life prematurely.
I am committed to increasing awareness of gluten intolerance and would love your assistance. Share this post and others like it to friends and family. Together we can raise the diagnosis rate of celiac disease from the paltry 3 to 5% that it is to the 95%+ range that it deserves to be. So many lives will be saved from this effort.
Have you experienced being told that a single test is all you would ever need? I'd love to hear back from you.

TRIPOLI, Libya, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Libyan rebels, still fighting government forces Monday, were hearing demands for the extradition of convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney were among those calling for the nascent Libyan rulers to act before they even had control of Tripoli, CNN reported.
"As a transitional government takes hold in Libya, it should seek to undo the injustice of al-Megrahi's release by returning him to the jail cell where he belongs," Schumer said in a statement.
Romney said he wants "this new government to arrest and extradite the mastermind behind the bombing of Pan Am 103 ... so justice can finally be done."
Several other U.S. and British lawmakers also have called for al-Megrahi's return to in Scotland.
The rebels' National Transitional Council has yet to respond to the demands, CNN said.
Al-Megrahi -- convicted in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people in 1988 -- was sent to Libya in 2009 because he was said to be suffering from terminal prostate cancer. He has survived for years longer than Scottish authorities were told he might when they decided to release him.

The Gubi Olsen Collection
Postmodernism was a reaction to the functionality and formalism of Modernism and gave birth to the Postmodern architecture movement. Postmodernism in architecture is marked by non-orthogonal angles, the re-emergence of surface decoration and the expression of meaningful historical and stylistic references.
Gubi Olsen, founder of Gubi, has always pushed the boundaries to explore new directions in design. His starting point has been the rich Danish tradition of craft and furniture production, together with multiple historical references.
The Soft Collection, a range of furniture designed by Gubi Olsen from 1982 and upholstered in his own Holmens Klæde fabric is inspired by diverse references, such as French cinema, Napoleon Bonaparte and a grand piano.

Theological Professor Claims He Was Fired for Homosexuality Stance
A theological professor in Atlanta who was recently fired from his position is claiming that he was fired for expressing his conservative position related to homosexuality.
Rev. Jamal-Dominique Hopkins, an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls, recently filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The complaint accused the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) administrators of harassment that included "disagreeing with my conservative religious ideals, intimidating me, slandering my character, giving me poor evaluations, and changing student grades from failing to passing with no merit.''
Hopkins, 42, explained that the fallout started after a representative from InterVarsity Christian Fellowship spoke at an event he organized in February. Attendees were given a book that declared homosexuality was a sin. Following the event, Hopkins was confronted about the distribution of the book by his department chair, Rev. Margaret Aymer, according to reports from Religion News Service.
"It was primarily the book that created an issue," Hopkins, a former associate professor of New Testament, told RNS.
But officials with the ITC stated that his dismissal was not related to the content of distribution of the book and that Hopkins is distorting the facts because he is an angry former employee.
"The reality is that the non-renewal of Dr. Hopkins' contract had nothing to do with academic freedom or any efforts to infringe thereon,'' ITC President Ronald Peters wrote in a statement published Aug. 8.
Peters added that Hopkins' comments were "disappointing remarks of a disgruntled former employee and … misrepresentation of fact."
Hopkins hired his father, Joe C. Hopkins, who is a California-based lawyer, to represent him during this process. He added that a lawsuit could be filed if ongoing negotiations could not resolve the matter.
"This is retaliation for standing up for his rights, bottom line," Joe Hopkins told RNS.

miibus — IEEE 802.3 Media Independent Interface network bus
For most network interface cards (NIC): device miibus
The miibus driver provides an interconnection between the Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer, the Physical Layer entities (PHY), Station Management (STA) entities, and the PHY Layer as defined by the IEEE 802.3 Standard. The miibus layer allows network device drivers to share common support code for various external PHY devices. Most 10/100 network interface cards either use an MII transceiver or have built-in transceivers that can be programmed using an MII interface. The miibus driver currently handles all of the media detection, selection, and reporting using the ifmedia interface. A generic driver has been included for all PHYs that are not handled by a specific driver, this is possible because all 10/100 PHYs implement the same general register set along with their vendor specific register set. The following network device drivers use the miibus interface: age(4) Attansic/Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet alc(4) Atheros AR8131/AR8132 PCIe Ethernet ale(4) Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCIe Ethernet aue(4) ADMtek USB Ethernet axe(4) ASIX Electronics AX88172 USB Ethernet bce(4) Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet bfe(4) Broadcom BCM4401 Ethernet bge(4) Broadcom BCM570xx Gigabit Ethernet cas(4) Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn dc(4) DEC/Intel 21143 and various workalikes ed(4) NE[12]000, SMC Ultra, 3c503, DS8390 cards et(4) Agere ET1310 Gigabit Ethernet fxp(4) Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B gem(4) Sun ERI, Sun GEM and Apple GMAC Ethernet hme(4) Sun HME Ethernet jme(4) JMicron JMC250 Gigabit/JMC260 Fast Ethernet lge(4) Level 1 LXT1001 NetCellerator Gigabit Ethernet msk(4) Marvell/SysKonnect Yukon II Gigabit Ethernet nfe(4) NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter nge(4) National Semiconductor DP83820/DP83821 Gigabit Ethernet nve(4) NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter pcn(4) AMD Am79C97x PCI 10/100 re(4) RealTek 8139C+/8169/8169S/8110S rl(4) RealTek 8129/8139 rue(4) RealTek RTL8150 USB To Fast Ethernet sf(4) Adaptec AIC-6915 sge(4) Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/191 Ethernet sis(4) Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900/SiS 7016 sk(4) SysKonnect SK-984x and SK-982x Gigabit Ethernet ste(4) Sundance ST201 (D-Link DFE-550TX) stge(4) Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 Gigabit Ethernet tl(4) Texas Instruments ThunderLAN tx(4) SMC EtherPower II (83c170) udav(4) Davicom DM9601 USB Ethernet vge(4) VIA VT612x PCI Gigabit Ethernet vr(4) VIA Rhine, Rhine II wb(4) Winbond W89C840F xl(4) 3Com 3c90x

The recipe was from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, a magnificent compendium. (One of these days I have to make a semi-serious survey of the cookbooks here.) It involves capers, celery, marjoram and thyme along with the more predictable onion, vinegar, salt and pepper, and potatoes of course; and Lindsey also added cubes of hard-cooked egg. Truly a fine salad; I'm sorry I didn't photograph it.
With it, a few lima beans from a few days back; and afterward a tossed green salad, and a bit of bread and salami; and to wash it all down,
Cheap pinot grigio.


text: I've been taking classes for a few years now. I've always heard that UCB keeps a "permanent record" of sorts, a file with teacher's notes from each class for each student. Is this true or is this just an urban myth? And are the notes anything of substance? Or is it just your 401 notes and a checklist of classes you've taken? Has anyone ever seen there Permanent Record"?

Although the man vs. mother-in-law dynamic has long been the focus of family jokes, new research suggests that in-law conflict occurs more often between mothers and their daughters-in-law. For her new book What Do You Want From Me? Dr. Terri Apter, a Cambridge University psychologist and senior tutor, researched hundreds of families for two decades and found that more than 60 per cent of women say the relationship with a female in-law causes them long-term unhappiness and stress.
Apter claims that the tension between female in-laws is often linked to competition for the "mother" role in the family: While a daughter-in-law expects that she will be the decision maker in traditionally female areas like housework and child-care, a mother in law may expect deference because of her established maternal expertise. As she explains, "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict often emerges from an expectation that each is criticising or undermining the other, but this mutual unease may have less to do with actual attitudes and far more to do with persistent female norms that few of us manage to shake off completely."
Apter also claims that "an element of romance" often present in the mother/son relationship is also part of the problem. When the daughter-in-law enters the picture, she expects to be the most important woman in her husband's life, which may make the mother feel that she is trying to sever her maternal relationship with her son. Rather than battling with their wife's mother, more men are having problems maintaining and differentiating their relationships between their own mothers and their wives. "The only realistic way to approach marriage is to accept that there will be six people in the marriage bed," advises Apter. Sounds... hideously kinky!

Despite 1973 being their 'Glory Years' and 'Flame' being described as the groups demise, it is apparent that their popularity was still on a considerable high. This scene of total carnage shows how 'crazee' the audience were in the Spring of 1975, still getting 'wild, wild, wild' with no sign of a wane. Quite the opposite in fact, the start of a long and enduring relationship for many.
"...that was my first gig. The tickets were £1.60 including booking fee and coloured blue.
I was 15 when me and my mate went to the gig. We'd spent weeks before making jackets covered with sequins, badges and all sorts. My hair was cut in a Dave Hill (Flame) style and I was absolutely covered in glitter - face and hair, jeans decorated with sequins and platformed boots. My mate's dad drove us to Belle Vue and dropped us off.
Brilliant night. It didn't matter in those days what seat number your ticket said, coz everybody swarmed to the front. Bunny was the support band. I was stood very near to the front (about 2 or 3 rows back) in between Nod and Jim.
I remember after when the lights came up I looked round the hall and about the first half a dozen, maybe 10 rows of seats, had been completely trashed. Looked more like piles of firewood than seats. It wasn't done out of violence or wanton destruction though, just screaming excited fans (mainly teenage girls) dancing and having a good night."
Slade Fan: December 2010
Saturday night, Slade had played the New Victoria Theatre in London. That gig was recorded for broadcast as part of an Insight Special for BBC Radio 1. They were promoting their new release, Thanks For The Memory, which involved Jim playing keyboards which he also played on How Does It Feel, also in the set. This involved Noddy taking responsibility of bass guitar duties.
"The out-front sound at Belle Vue was awful, as I remember. If you were near the front you got more of a sound from the group's backline.... Further back, echo was always a problem...."Ian Edmundson
"I don't remember the sound being awful but I was quite near the front, standing on the seats that were trashed. I went with a few mates including Marcel King (the lead singer of Sweet Sensation) and Nicky Sinclair (played for Oldham Athletic). I'm pretty sure the support group were crap - electric folk if I remember correctly. I used to smoke at the time and somebody threw a cig near Dave. he picked it up so I chucked my lighter at him. He pretended to light it up, but didn't. They had a prize for the best dressed fan. I don't remember who won it, but I knew Dan Archer, who was dressed as Noddy, and he went on stage before the winner was announced."Tony Pye
"We would arrive early at Belle Vue, sneaking out after lunch time registration when still at school and then wait at the stage door volunteering to help bring in the gear, including one of the Slade shows.... as for the sound - it was that loud you could feel the air rushing from the PA stack."Colin Blades
