Sarah Palin had a close encounter with a group of grizzly bears while out fishing, a leaked clip from her upcoming reality TV show on TLC reveals.
The one-minute vid shows the ex-GOP vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor stumbling across two bear cubs and one adult while out on a small boat with hubby Todd and daughter Piper.

News from around the country and around the globe
"Cute," Palin says before a camera cuts to the adult Grizzly growling at another bear that has approached. "Oh, she's telling him to get the heck outta here."
The two giant furry creatures then wrestle each other into the river, with Palin exclaiming, "this is awesome."
"I love watching these mama bears," she says in a voiceover. "What I see in that is what a mom would do, too. Anything and everything, laying down her life for her kids."
Earlier this year, Palin used the mama grizzly metaphor "in a political sense" to refer to someone "who is watching what is going on that is adversely affecting our cubs, our children, the future of America."
Eventually, one of the Alaskan bears seems to notice Palin's group and approaches her fishing boat.
"We're going to back up. Look at his claws," Palin says nervously.
"I'm lookin' around to Todd going, are you feeling what I'm feelin'?" she later explains. "It could think that we are its lunch instead of those little tiny salmon."
The clip ends with Palin ominously observing that her boat has been snagged to a rock.
"Sarah Palin's Alaska" debuts Nov. 14.

AESC / Executive Search
According to the Association of Executive Search Consultants' (AESC), 66% of search professionals have a positive prediction for their industry in the second half of the year. The biggest growth in demand for senior talent is in the Energy/Natural Resources sector. The United States is experiencing a "sustained resurgence of demand" according to AESC President, Peter Felix. Worldwide, the General Management/CEO/COO functions are anticipated to experience the greatest shortage of talent, followed by Business Development and then Engineering. Read more »

Stevens Alumna Starts Company to Help the U.S. and China
It's strange to say, but an interest in garbage is what brought Yuhong Jiang, M. Eng. '91, to Stevens — and the United States.
Jiang, president of BRISEA International Development, an environmental engineering consulting firm which specializes in environmental/energy projects between the United States and developing countries, first came to the United States after graduating from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, in 1988. She was interested in how to reuse solid waste and, at the time, courses in recycling weren't offered in China. While all countries contribute to landfills with their garbage, China has a larger contribution due to its large population, she said.
When deciding on a graduate school, she visited her cousin who was studying at Columbia University in New York City.
"I didn't like New York City," she said with a slight laugh. "Then he took me to Stevens, and I got this feeling that this is the school. I can't explain it, but it was just this feeling."
But life in a new country wasn't easy from the get-go. Her English was poor, she said, and when a Stevens professor would lecture, sometimes she didn't fully understand what was being said. But once an idea went on the blackboard and she could see it, any misunderstanding went out the window.
Jiang lived on River Street in Hoboken while a graduate student and after graduation, she worked for CH2M, Foster Wheeler Environmental and Ebasco Environmental before starting BRISEA in February 1999. The company has two offices: the U.S. headquarters is based in Parsippany, N.J., and a Beijing office opened in January 2010. The company has been active in helping China's energy and environmental projects. BRISEA consults in the areas of site remediation and redevelopment, water, waste water and solid waste. Clients include energy, environmental, pharmaceutical and petrochemical companies, as well as The World Bank, the United Nations and Chinese and U.S. government agencies.
"I love my job," Jiang said. "The U.S. is about 20 to 30 years ahead of China in terms of environmental protection. I get to introduce technology from the U.S. to China which creates jobs for the U.S. companies here."
Jiang's love of learning was fostered at home from the beginning. Both her parents were college professors and from an early age, she saw that they both enjoyed their jobs. "They were my role models," she said. "They loved what they did." At first, she wanted to be a professor like them. But she knew she wanted to solve the problem of how to recycle properly, so an engineering career was born.
For women, there are some challenges to being an environmental engineer: "It's not always an office job. You go to places that are muddy and dirty. You have to love it and be willing to do what needs to be done."
This busy engineer and business owner tries to find the balance between her career and her family in northern New Jersey. She credits her husband with his support at home with their two daughters, ages 13 and 7. And she appreciates the team at BRISEA for their support as well.
For work, she travels to China about five times a year and often travels within the United States as well. And BRISEA has grown since those early days in 1999. Due to the time difference in China and the ever-changing technology, BRISEA has become a 24-hour operation so the opportunity to work during the off-hours is increasing, Jiang said, adding that she often works late at night after her daughters go to bed.
She takes her girls to China every summer to spend time with their grandparents and extended family. She doesn't see herself moving back there and explains that she can do more for both countries by staying in the United States and building on her company's reputation within China. She said she's more interested in the satisfaction of doing a good job than in a huge profit.
Her time at Stevens enabled her to cultivate relationships she still values to this day. While Jiang was a student in the late '80s and early '90s, Dr. George Korfiatis, who is now Provost, was a professor and her assigned adviser. But Korfiatis' area was more focused on site remediation/groundwater cleanup, and she was interested more in garbage recycling and wastewater treatment. She spoke to him about changing her adviser to someone with a background in that field.
"I still remember how scared I was. I was expecting him to be unhappy. However, he surprised me. He was so calm and kind. He helped me analyze what I wanted to study and then advised me that Dr. David Vaccari would be a good professor for me,"' she recalled.
"In China, 20 years ago, it would have been impossible for a student to go to a professor and ask for a change," Jiang says. "Stevens taught me that the professors there really viewed your capabilities. They guided the students. I was fortunate to go to school in the United States. Stevens gave me a good starting point."
Through her studies, a professional connection was made with Dr. Vaccari, an associate professor and department director of Environmental and Ocean Engineering. "I still keep in contact with Dr. Vaccari and Dr. Korfiatis," she said.
Recently, Dr. Vaccari recalled Jiang's days at Stevens.
"Yuhong was a remarkable student. She had amazing energy and enthusiasm. I remember being surprised at her entrepreneurial spirit. This was back when China was still starting to open up to the west," he said. "Her infectious enthusiasm makes you want to work hard, too."
Even now, 20 years after graduation, Stevens is still a special place for Jiang.
"I've been back to Stevens many times since my graduation," she said. "Stevens gave me challenges and showed me how people should be respected and treated equally.
"I know that Stevens is always there for me. If I need help, I have a place where I can go to for professional advice. There are people there who I can turn to," she said.
She repeatedly uses the word fortunate to describe herself and her journey. When asked about the difficulty of starting her own business, she's quick to point out that while it was hard to begin a new business venture, the United States is very fair. It may have taken her a little longer to get to the goal than someone who was born here, but she has a simple recipe for success: work hard, be smart and love what you do.
"If you can do these things, then you can get where you want."

Laboratory of Marine Microbiology
Work of the Laboratory of Microbiology includes conducting research of ecology of marine microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, cyanobacteria, heterotrophic nanoplankton), as well as research of allochthonous microorganisms which from different sources occur in the marine environment.
Field of ecology of marine microorganisms includes research of microbial community structure (composition, number, biomass, production and activity), and the role of microbial food net in the flow of matter and energy through the pelagic ecosystem. Given the importance of bacteria in biogeochemical processes in the sea, research of numbers and biomass of bacteria have recently been carried out in the sediment as well.
As part of the allochthonous microorganisms research, the presence of fecal pollution indicators in sea water and organisms (especially shellfish) is being monitored, and occasionally, some groups of patogenic microorganisms. The results of these studies are essential for assessing the sanitary quality of water and marine organisms and potential risks to human health. Research of microorganism survival in the marine environment, and the speed of their concentration in shellfish, in different enviromental conditions, is also being carried out. Within this issue, Laboratory of Microbiology organizes national and international workshops related to the introduction of new methods and training in their implementation.
Laboratory of Microbiology is an authorized research laboratory for testing and evaluation of water quality, according to the rezolution of the Ministry of Regional Development, Forestry and Water Economy of the Republic of Croatia, the Board of Water Management (KLASA: UP/Io-034-04/08-01/16; URBROJ: 538-10/1-4-64-08/6; of 10th of December 2008).

Well, the day is finally here. I can announce that I'm moving this site to the Bloguin network. The site is remaining the same title, but the URL is changing to "www.evilcowtown.com".
As far as everything else goes, this site will remain as an archive (it will eventually revert back to the eci.wordpress link but like I said, this will only be an archive so it shouldn't be an issue).

Acts 13:26-52
26 "Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people.
32 "We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm:
"'You are my son;
34 God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,
"'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.'
35 So it is also stated elsewhere:
"'You will not let your holy one see decay.'
36 "Now when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
38 "Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39 Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:
41 "'Look, you scoffers,
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
"'I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning to them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Treating Others with Dignity
What does it mean to treat others with dignity? Dignity most commonly refers to the honor we confer on others. Scripture directs us to "Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, and honor the king" (1 Pet. 2:17). The word honor translates the Greek word τιμάω timao, which means "to show high regard for, honor, revere." Continue reading

Price of my new sketchpad. I'm going to Olympia, Washington, and I'm gonna be bored out of my mind unless I get some booze, so for all my sober time I'll be drawing.
Request something--anything--and I'll draw it to the best of my ability. I'll take as many requests as you can give me, and try to draw/scan/color them as quickly as possible. If you have reference work, link it for me.
Let's brighten this place up a little, okay?

Here is the first photo of the special edition Bugatti Bleu Veyron Centenaire, the 100th anniversary car rumored to have a max-speed of 273 MPH ahead of the official Geneva Motor Show debut tomorrow.
All we have is this photo, so we've got no way to prove this vehicle actually goes from standing still all the way up to 273 MPH. What we do know is there's definitely a special edition Bugatti and it carries the company's famous racing blue color. The most stunning aspect of the car is the two-tone gloss vs. matte paint. It's striking in its solid paint job, with an unknown amount of power lurking behind those ropes. (Hat tip to clutch kick!)

More bits and pieces
I've taken a couple of additional runs at my little challenge. The most recent did very, very well. Unfortunately I think it is also about the best I'd be able to achieve. And it makes me frustrated.
See, I earned 420MISK by day 14 of the challenge. I intentionally cashed everything out, and then I put in a bid for a PLEX. When I first assembled this challenge, a mere two months ago, I'd have had my PLEX, activated the trial account, and started playing. Now, however, PLEX are running around 600MISK. And barring more luck than I got this time (and I did get a couple of breaks) I don't see making 600MISK.
So I'll put the idea on the shelf for a while. There are some major changes to EVE Online in the wind and they may include something that pops the PLEX bubble — if it's a bubble. If that happens I'll pop in a trial and aim for the challenge.
I will be talking about some of the changes later. I think the game's going to have some rage-quitters, and at the same time may suddenly be a bit more fun for current non-players. (Thinking mainly of the people who, like me, drift to being healers first.)
Later, and have fun.

What is a Merchant?
A merchant (retailer), sometimes referred to as an 'advertiser', is an online company which sells its products and/or services through an affiliate network. The merchant will pay either a percentage or set amount of commission once a certain action (in most cases, a sale) has completed.
To find out more information on our merchant commission rates - please visit Join New Merchants in your Affiliate Account.
If you are not signed up to the Affiliate Window network, a full listing of our merchants by category is available in our merchant directory at http://www.affiliatewindow.com/merchant_directory.php
What is an Affiliate?
An affiliate is the owner or manager of a website (also referred to as a 'publisher' or 'partner').
They are rewarded commission when a visitor to their site clicks an affiliate link, (for example, a banner, logo or text link), goes to a particular merchant's website and performs a certain action of the merchant's site. Usually, this is completing a transaction. However some merchants ask affiliates to refer them traffic that results in a lead instead of a sale, perhaps through the completion of an online application form, or the submission of the user's email address.

What Kind of Affiliate am I?
True Content
Content sites are generally informative sites that focus on a single, specific area and produce original copy through which they promote merchants in the same area. An example might be a fan site dedicated to particular place, person or hobby.
Forums are interactive sites where internet users go to discuss issues that they are interested in.
Blogs are usually online diaries. They vary in content and will usually put links to products that they are 'blogging' about.
Shopping Directories
If you are a shopping directory affiliate you will simply provide a list of all the merchants on your site, including a short description about what they do and occasionally providing reviews of their services.
ShopWindow partners
Shopwindow partners make use of the shopwindow tools and functionality to help power their website.
Voucher Codes
Voucher code affiliates are given voucher codes by merchants which they feature on their site.
E-mail Marketing
E-mail marketing affiliates collect e-mail addresses of members of the public and send them details of offers/deals. They usually have information about the owners of the email addresses, such as their age, location, interests or hobbies, which they can use to split their database into sections and only email certain groups with certain offers or products.
Price Comparison
Price Comparison sites provide an easy to use service that allows users to compare the prices of specific products from a range of merchants.
Cashback and Reward
Cashback and Reward affiliates give a percentage of the commission that they earn back to their users. In the case of cashback affiliates, this is in the form of cash and in the case of reward affiliates, this is in the form of 'points' which can be redeemed to purchase other goods.
Corporate Intranet
If you provide companies with an intranet service that offers its users discounts at retailers then you would be a Corporate Intranet affiliate.
Social Networking
Social Networking affiliates are primarily used for socialising with friends but sometimes they have banners or applications that encourage users to shop.
Pay Per Click (PPC)
PPC affiliates promote merchants via search engines such as google. PPC stands for Pay Per Click, so a PPC affiliate pays the search engine each time a user clicks on their link.
How do I get traffic to my site?
There are two main ways to get traffic to your site: SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and PPC (Pay per click)
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" (or "organic") search results. The higher a site or page is listed or "ranked", the more visible it will be as well as more relevant to the user. This can increase the volume and quality of traffic to your site.
In order to improve the ranking of your site you need to consider how search engines work and what people search for. Optimising your website will therefore involve editing and improving content in order to improve it's natural search listings
Pay per click involves paying a search engine every time a user clicks on a link that to visit either a merchant's website or your own website. You will typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to your target market to ensure that you only pay when you believe there is a chance of a sale.
When a user types a keyword query matching your keyword list, your advertisement may be displayed. These advertisements are called sponsored links or sponsored ads, and appear adjacent to or above the "natural" or organic results on search engine results pages. Content websites commonly charge a fixed price for a click.
How does Affiliate Window track sales?
AW tracks all sales made using AW affiliate links by using cookies.
The tracking process:
1. The user (customer) visits an affiliate website
2. The user clicks through from the affiliate website to the merchant website
3. AW drop a cookie on the user's personal computer (PC) to show the user has visited the affiliate website and clicked on an affiliate link
4. The user is directed to the merchant website and AW drop another cookie from the merchant's domain
5. The user purchases an item from the merchant website
6. The merchant confirmation page contains the AW tracking tag
7. AW link the merchant tracking with the previous cookies dropped on the user's PC
8. Information is passed to AW in the tracking tag, allowing AW to record the sale (this information includes the merchant ID, referring affiliate ID, order reference number, sale value and commission groups (if applicable))
9. AW's system allocates the correct commission based on the information passed in the tracking tag and the pre-defined reward set by the merchant (either a set amount per tranaction or a percentage of the sale value)
10. Commissions are either approved or declined by the merchant dependent on the order being fulfilled
11. Affiliates can see these commissions in their AW interface
Notes on point 3:
The cookie which is dropped is referred by the Affiliate Window system and is stored on the affiliate window domain. This would be considered a 3rd party cookie from a merchant's perspective. There are three kinds of links a user could click on to move from an affiliate site.
1) A text link. This would be an AW link behind a hyperlink in some text on the affiliate site.
2) A banner. This would be an AW link behind a merchant banner or logo on the affiliate site.
3) A product feed. This is when an affiliate uses a data-feed from a merchant to display particular products on their affiliate site, in conjunction with AW's ShopWindow tool. There is an AW link behind each one of these products.
Notes on point 4:
The merchant would have already added a small script onto all pages which will allow for our system to send through a unique variable to then be stored on the domain URL. This would be considered a 1st Party cookie from a merchant's perspective.
Notes on point 5:
A sale is only tracked if it is completed. This means that the user has to submit all information and payment details required by the merchant and reach the merchant 'confirmation page' before it will be tracked as a sale and an affiliate paid commission. If a user leaves the transaction part-way through the payment process the sale will not be tracked and the affiliate will receive no commission.
Notes on point 6:
When a merchant starts to work with Affiliate Window, they implement AW tracking on their site, so that AW can match this information to the information stored in the affiliate links, and in the cookies dropped on the user's PC.
Notes on point 7:
Affiliate Window works on a 'last referrer' policy. This means that if a user visits 2 affiliate sites before purchasing something from a merchant, the last affiliate site they visit will receive the commission.
If both affiliates are using AW links, AW will overwrite the first cookie with a second one to show the second affiliate should receive the commission. This means there will only ever be one AW cookie per transaction on a user's PC.
If one affiliate is using AW links and the other affiliate is using links for a different affiliate network, the merchant will provide data to AW and the other network to show which affiliate should receive the commission. This process is called 'de-duplication'.

NCBA's Cattlemen's College® Celebrates 20th Year Anniversary at Cattle Industry Convention
TAMPA, Fla. (Feb. 6, 2013) — Now in its 20th year, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's (NCBA) Cattlemen's College® has established a reputation as one of the most thorough cattle producer education programs in the nation. Sponsored by Zoetis Animal Health, the 2013 edition of Cattlemen's College® began last night with participants being treated to great Florida hospitality and an exciting ranch horse competition at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Today, Cattlemen's College® students heard from an outstanding lineup of industry experts.
Cattlemen's College® offers a wide range of informative, one of a kind hands-on workshops designed for cattle operations of every size and sector. Class began bright and early today with a keynote address by internationally respected futurist Dr. Lowell Catlett, who spoke about the resiliency of the beef industry and the people who work in it. Catlett also provided his predictions for the long range outlook for the agricultural industry, along with factors that influence profitability and sustainability of beef cattle production.
"No matter what is thrown at us, we just get up in the morning and go to work," said Catlett. "The resiliency of the human spirit is amazing. People matter, and the beef industry needs to be ready for tremendous changes to come."
Today's sessions included a cattle market update presented by CattleFax, along with sessions on preserving family relations on the ranch, weather predictions for 2013 and beyond, consumer attitudes toward beef and beef production, how to cope with drought and high feed prices, animal welfare issues and how to identify risk factors that affect cattle producers' bottom line.
Allen Moczygemba, director of the beef segment of the U.S. Cattle and Equine Team with Zoetis Animal Health, said that the company saw a need for more educational programs for cattle producers.
"Twenty years ago, cattle producers needed access to information they didn't have," said Moczygemba. "Years later there is still a hunger and desire for more information. U.S. beef producers want to become better at what they do, and they are constantly striving to improve. Cattlemen's College provides them with the tools to achieve that."
With so many events taking place during the convention all attendees are encouraged to download the 2013 Cattle Industry Convention app to their smart phones to see the schedule of events, locations, maps and receive alerts before, during and after the event. Visit www.beefusa.org for more information about the convention, and follow NCBA on Facebook and Twitter.

In the years since Justice Jackson's observation, the federal courts have continued to apply the intelligible-principle doctrine, which allows a great deal of legislative power to be delegated to administrative agencies without interference from the courts.[5] The seminal case, Chevron, which established the deferential review standard, was decided in 1984. But the courts still are examining foundational questions about agency power, and the academic articles examining agency power and the implications of Chevron are plentiful.[6]
At the federal level, there are two main types of deference for agency actions: "Chevron deference," named for the standard developed in that case, and "Skidmore deference," named for the concept developed in Skidmore v Swift & Co, 323 US 134 (1944).[7] The deference accorded to an agency depends on the kind of action involved. In practice, federal courts have struggled to categorize administrative actions and determine whether Chevron or Skidmore should apply.
In Chevron, the Supreme Court stated the following rule for reviewing agency action:
When a court reviews an agency's construction of the statute which it administers, it is confronted with two questions. First, always, is the question whether Congress has directly spoken to the precise question at issue. If the intent of Congress is clear, that is the end of the matter; for the court, as well as the agency, must give effect to the unambiguously expressed intent of Congress. If, however, the court determines Congress has not directly addressed the precise question at issue, the court does not simply impose its own construction on the statute, as would be necessary in the absence of an administrative interpretation. Rather, if the statute is silent or ambiguous with respect to the specific issue, the question for the court is whether the agency's answer is based on a permissible construction of the statute.
Chevron USA, Inc, 467 US at 842-43 (1984).
The federal courts accept vast delegations of power to administrative agencies under the intelligible-principle doctrine. See generally, Whitman v American Trucking Ass'n, 531 US 457, 474-75 (2001). This often permits vast "gaps" in the statutory langauge. The federal courts accept the premise that administrative agencies can fill these gaps. Chevron, 467 US at 843. Where Congress has explicitly allowed an agency to fill a gap, a regulation doing so is valid unless it is "arbitrary, capricious, or manifestly contrary to the statute." Id. at 844. The United States Supreme Court indicated that where Congress has only implicitly delegated a particular question to an agency, "a court may not substitute its own construction of a statutory provision for a reasonable interpretation made by the administrator of an agency" - a somewhat lower level of deference. Id.
The case for deference to an agency is strong when a statute "involves conflicting policies" and where "more than ordinary knowledge respecting the matters subjected to agency regulation" is necessary to administer the statutory scheme. Id. at 845.
The Supreme Court justified its deference to agencies by noting that as between the courts and the executive branch, the executive is more responsive to the people:
Judges are not experts in the field, and are not part of either political branch of the Government. Courts must, in some cases, reconcile competing political interests, but not on the basis of the judges' personal policy preferences. In contrast, an agency to which Congress has delegated policy-making responsibilities may, within the limits of that delegation, properly rely upon the incumbent administration's views of wise policy to inform its judgments. While agencies are not directly accountable to the people, the Chief Executive is, and it is entirely appropriate for this political branch of the Government to make such policy choices - resolving the competing interests which Congress itself either inadvertently did not resolve, or intentionally left to be resolved by the agency charged with the administration of the statute in light of everyday realities.
When a challenge to an agency construction of a statutory provision, fairly conceptualized, really centers on the wisdom of the agency's policy, rather than whether it is a reasonable choice within a gap left open by Congress, the challenge must fail. In such a case, federal judges - who have no constituency - have a duty to respect legitimate policy choices made by those who do. The responsibilities for assessing the wisdom of such policy choices and resolving the struggle between competing views of the public interest are not judicial ones.
Id. at 865-66.
In Christensen v Harris County, 529 US 576 (2000), the Supreme Court discussed which agency actions should not receive Chevron deference:
Here, however, we confront an interpretation contained in an opinion letter, not one arrived at after, for example, a formal adjudication or notice-and-comment rulemaking. Interpretations such as those in opinion letters - like interpretations contained in policy statements, agency manuals, and enforcement guidelines, all of which lack the force of law - do not warrant Chevron-style deference.
Id. at 587. The Supreme Court indicated that "interpretations contained in formats such as opinion letters are 'entitled to respect' under our decision in Skidmore v Swift & Co, 323 US 134 (1944), but only to the extent that those interpretations have the 'power to persuade.'" Christensen, 529 US at 587.[8]
In United States v Mead Corp, 533 US 218 (2001), the Supreme Court further examined the instances when Chevron deference would apply:
We hold that administrative implementation of a particular statutory provision qualifies for Chevron deference when it appears that Congress delegated authority to the agency generally to make rules carrying the force of law, and that the agency interpretation claiming deference was promulgated in the exercise of that authority. Delegation of such authority may be shown in a variety of ways, as by an agency's power to engage in adjudication or notice-and-comment rulemaking, or by some other indication of a comparable congressional intent.
Id. at 226-27.
Christensen and Mead signal the revival of Skidmore deference. In Skidmore v Swift & Co, 323 US 134 (1944), the Supreme Court discussed the standard of review when an agency was not engaged in notice-and-comment rulemaking or formal adjudication:
We consider that the rulings, interpretations and opinions of the Administrator under this Act, while not controlling upon the courts by reason of their authority, do constitute a body of experience and informed judgment to which courts and litigants may properly resort for guidance. The weight of such a judgment in a particular case will depend upon the thoroughness evident in its consideration, the validity of its reasoning, its consistency with earlier and later pronouncements, and all those factors which give it power to persuade, if lacking power to control.
Id. at 140.
Professor Pierce describes what is meant by Skidmore deference in his administrative law treatise:
The deference to be accorded an interpretative rule under Skidmore is much weaker than Chevron deference . . . because it has an entirely different source. Skidmore deference is not based on the institutional legitimacy of the agency pronouncement; an interpretive rule [i.e. a general agency pronouncement that is neither from notice-and-comment rulemaking nor formal adjudication] cannot have binding effect because Congress has not authorized any agency to issue an interpretive rule with binding effect. Skidmore deference is based solely on common sense. A court should consider adopting the position taken in an agency interpretative rule because there are reasons to believe that the agency positions are often wise and correct.
1 Pierce, Administrative Law Treatise (4th ed. 2002)
§ 6.4, p 334.
[5] In essence, the intelligible-principle doctrine requires just a vague indication of congressional intent, and the agency in question is then allowed extremely broad discretion in creating regulations on the subject of the delegation.
[6] A simple Westlaw search for articles citing Chevron in the Lawrev-Pro database led to nearly 4,000 entries.
[7] As will become clear below, Skidmore deference is a misnomer since it means the agency view is not binding and is only potentially persuasive to the courts.
[8] In his administrative law treatise, Professor Richard J. Pierce, Jr., indicates that agencies sometimes game the system by avoiding judicial review and yet still influencing the regulated community's behavior:
Sometimes ambiguities in agency statements are created intentionally for strategic purposes. An agency might want to issue a statement that has binding effect without following the notice and comment procedures mandated for legislative rulemaking and without subjecting its statement to the kind of "searching and careful" judicial review courts typically apply to legislative rules. To further these illegitimate strategy goals, an agency might intentionally use ambiguous or inconsistent language in the hope that its regulates will give its statements binding effect while the courts will characterize the statement as an unreviewable general statement of policy exempt from notice and comment procedures.

As someone who is passionate about film and enjoys games, I'm delighted to announce that Adobe is working with the producers of Indie Game: The Movie, Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky, to bring screenings of this award winning film to a city near you! We've scheduled seven dates so far in the U.S and Canada and are adding more every week, including Seattle, WA on March 23, and Portland, OR on March 28.
Indie Game: The Movie is a feature-length documentary, and follows the compelling, personal stories of independent video game designers as they create and release their unique and very individual works to the world. Coming off their recent win for Best Editing in World Documentary Cinema at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, Lisanne and James are thrilled to finally share this film with so many audiences, and are excited that Adobe is helping take the film to indie game developers and fans on such a large scale. Community support for this movie has been outstanding, and part of the funding was secured through Kickstarter, where the producers raised their initial funding goal in just 48 hours.
The first public screening will be held at the Rio in Santa Cruz, CA on Friday, March 2 at 7pm. For those of you attending GDC, the second and third screenings will be held at the Embarcadero in San Francisco, CA, on Tuesday, March 6th at 7pm and 9:30pm.
At each venue, members of the Adobe Gaming Solutions team will be on hand to give out prizes and talk one on one. Additionally, Indie Game: The Movie's filmmakers will hold a panel to discuss the film and answer questions from attendees at each screening. Edmund McMillen, who was featured in the documentary will be a special guest at the Santa Cruz, CA screening, and will join the panel. Edmund is a Flash game developer and co-CEO of Team Meat that produced the successful Super Meat Boy game for Xbox 360, Windows PC, Mac OS X and Linux. Super Meat Boy has sold more than one million copies to date.
Like Edmund McMillen, game developers working with Adobe technology can reach 98 percent of Internet connected PCs and up to 500 million tablets and phones with their creations. Adobe will be demonstrating some great Flash based games at GDC March 5-9 in San Francisco, both for mobile and desktop. In the meantime, learn more about Adobe & Gaming at http://www.adobe.com/solutions/gaming.html, grab your tickets for a great show, and keep your eyes open for more news coming soon!

(CNN) -- Dr. Phil McGraw has incurred the wrath of the Internet after a tweet posted on his verified Twitter account asked if it's OK to have sex with a drunk girl.
The outrage was swift:
From @spsook: If a doctor doesn't understand consent, has he abdicated his medical authority? reply y/n to @DrPhil #teensaccused
From @leslieupnorth: .@DrPhil deleted his #rapeculture tweet...it's too bad he didn't realize how wrong he was until after 1000s read it. Shame him, @Oprah
The tweet was quickly deleted, but that did not quell the heated responses.
From @weeddude: "Yeah I always delete my tweets that are "intended to evoke discussions..." too. Come on @DrPhil
'Dr. Phil' renewed for three more years
A representative for the "Dr. Phil" show issued a statement regarding the deleted tweet Wednesday, saying that it was meant to provoke discussion for an upcoming show.
"This Tweet was intended to evoke discussion leading into a very serious show topic based upon a recent news story, hence the #teensaccused label," the statement read.
"As he has maintained over many years, Dr. Phil believes that the position of those incapacitated in any fashion; be it drugs, alcohol, age or mental illness can not and do not have the capacity to give their consent to anything, especially sex, which could have life changing repercussions. This was a research post in preparation for a show, not a personal post, and Dr. Phil deleted it the second he saw it. It was clearly ill-advised. We sincerely apologize that it suggested anything other than what was intended, data gathering."
The representative said the show for which the tweet was published was taping Wednesday but could not say when the episode would air. It was also unclear to which news event the tweet referred, the representative added.

Welcome to the English Studies Department!
This website will help you to explore our innovative and engaging curriculum, and our student-focused faculty.
While developing a solid foundation in literature and language, our students specialize in writing, in literature, or in preparation for teaching at the secondary level. We offer minors in creative and professional writing, in literature, and in film studies. We also support the University's Foreign Language Program, which offers a major in Spanish and minors in Spanish Language and Culture, Arabic Language and Culture, Chinese Language and Culture, and East-European Language and Culture (Polish or Russian).
Our courses are taught by professors who continue their education through scholarship, regularly presenting at conferences and publishing books and articles. Likewise, we encourage and guide our majors and minors to pursue opportunities to share their work at conferences, in print, online, and through a variety of departmental publications. Offering small classes of no more than 25 students each, we are committed to the success of each student, and we take a personal approach—both within the classroom and outside it.
We have so much to offer you, as our students can attest. Studying English not only enables you to enjoy classic, contemporary, and diverse literary works, but also sharpens the critical, analytical, and communication skills and processes that employers and graduate schools demand. Furthermore, by developing these crucial skills, a second major or a minor in English strengthens a major in any other discipline. In fact, our graduates are employed not only as educators and editors, promotional and technical writers, but also as lawyers and morticians, graphic designers and sales reps, administrative assistants and project managers, communications consultants and librarians with masters degrees.
We would be delighted to hear from you, and to explain our programs in detail. Please visit the Contact Us page so that we may get to know you, answer your questions, and perhaps schedule a visit.
Do you need help writing a paper for one of your classes?
Please make an appointment with the Writing Center where you can receive in person and online assistance from excellent writing tutors!

"I chose English because I'm fascinated with literature. I love reading, analyzing and discussing. I think you can market yourself as having critical thinking, writing and speaking skills in general, because that's what the degree is all about. I can read, analyze and communicate effectively through writing and speaking."

Ryan Arciero
"I chose Lewis University for its small class sizes and its spiritual nature. Having come here, I was more of an introverted person, used to working on my own independently. What Lewis really did for me was learn how to step outside of my box, work with other students and really gain a love for reading and writing."

So who was "Copeland", the 6th (or 7th) husband of my great grandmother, Dovie C McBurnett?
To review, all I know about Copeland is that he was the last husband of Dovie, as evidenced by her death certificate, obituary and headstone:
I don't know when or where they were married or if she outlived him or just the opposite, or if she divorced him, as she had at least 2 of her previous husbands.
But I know there had to have been a Copeland. Musta been…
I haven't done any research on Dovie lately, but my brick walls are always in the back of my mind. I keep my eyes open, just in case…
Last night, I was searching for info on one of the children of my third great-grandfather. Not in my direct line, but I had accidentally come across a mention of her, and subsequently him, while looking for yet another ancestor not related to either:
I reasoned that if I could find a death certificate for Celeste Cline, maybe it would list the names of her parents, John J Davis and Marcellon Lunsford. You see, the problem is with Lunsford's first name. I have several census entries for her, both as Lunsford and Davis, and with each document, her first name is spelled differently. Considerably differently, in fact. So much so that I really don't know what her first name was!
I read a few days ago from several genealogy blogs that the FamilySearch Record Search site has recently added a lot of new names and new sources. So that's where I headed…

Center for Inquiry provides a short list of resources for campus organizations or anyone else who wants to sponsor an event. In particular, you may contact their speakers bureau to find speakers on evolution, creationism, and intelligent-design creationism (it is a complete mystery why hardly anyone from Panda's Thumb is on that list, but we will not go into that now). Additionally, Center for Inquiry directs you to the International Darwin Day Foundation, where you may find a list of activities near you, and, of course, the National Center for Science Education.
CFI recommends that you try to teach someone about evolution or other scientific principles and notes that the Public Broadcasting System has a wealth of material on evolution, science, and Darwin. The Understanding Evolution Web page is likewise an excellent resource.

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Pacers wanted David West to stick around and lead a championship run. The 32-year-old power forward never planned on leaving town.
West agreed to a three-year contract with Indiana on the second day of free agency, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. The person requested anonymity because NBA rules prohibit teams from announcing signings until July 10. The deal is reportedly worth $36 million.
For the Pacers, Tuesday's announcement may turn out to be their biggest move of the entire off-season.
"Obviously, our No. 1 priority is to get David West signed," president of basketball operations Larry Bird said Monday, reiterating the point his predecessor Donnie Walsh and general manager Kevin Pritchard made two weeks earlier at an end-of-the-season news conference.
The reason was obvious. On the court, West provided a physical inside presence that allowed the Pacers to play in-your-face defence, though he was far more than just an enforcer.
During the regular season he started 73 games, averaging 17.1 points and 7.7 rebounds. In the playoffs, the numbers were virtually identical — 15.9 points and 7.6 rebounds — but it was in the locker room where West was a stabilizing force for one of the youngest teams in the league.
Coaches and teammates repeatedly credited his demeanour, work ethic, playoff experience and role as a veteran leader for helping the Pacers become a better team.
By reaching the agreement the Central Division champions are now assured of returning all five starters from last season, three of whom have played in the All-Star Game — West, swingman Paul George and centre Roy Hibbert. Danny Granger, another former All-Star, also is expected to return after missing all but five games last season because of a left knee injury.
Those inside the organization were confident they could keep him, and West never deviated from the line that he wanted to stay. He played college basketball at nearby Xavier, enjoys the Indianapolis community and prefers being close to his wife's family in Cincinnati. He also thought Indiana would provide the best chance for him to win that elusive NBA title.
"This is my group. These are my guys," West said after losing Game 7 against the Miami Heat in the playoffs. "You know, I can't see myself going anywhere else. We're the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, one of the top four teams in the league, in my estimation, based on this year. This group is a solid group. It gives me as an individual the best chance to accomplish the goals that I have left in terms of my future, and that's competing at this stage of the game every single year from here on out."
Teammates wasted no time expressing their jubilation at the turn of events.
"Happy, happy, happy," Hibbert wrote on Twitter after word first leaked of the deal.
What's next? Revamping the Pacers' bench.
When Bird left the team to tend to health issues last year, Pritchard and Walsh spent the off-season trying to improve the bench. Now Bird is starting over.
The Pacers reportedly have agreed to a two-year deal with backup point guard C.J. Watson and have rescinded the qualifying offer of roughly $4.15 million to backup forward and former first-round draft pick Tyler Hansbrough. That was a move met with sadness by what are likely to be Hansbrough's soon-to-be ex-teammates.
"Hope Tyler finds a great home next year. Sad 2see him go," Hibbert wrote. "Business is business I guess. But who wants to come to Indy n be dwest's back up?"
It's a good question, given the circumstances.
Indiana has gone from a non-playoff team in 2010 to a loss in the first round of the 2011 post-season to a second-round ouster against Miami in 2012 to pushing the Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference finals this past season.
The Pacers knew they couldn't take that next step without West — and now they won't have to.
"David West is the heart and soul of our team," coach Frank Vogel said Monday. "Having the professionalism that he does, the work ethic that he does, caring about his teammates like he does, it's hard not to glow about him."

You do have to be ***EXTREMELY CAREFUL*** with Fentanyl as it is 50-100 times more potent than morphine.
I believe you can get Fentanyl patches, but would probably be hard to obtain (need to go through pain clinics etc before a doctor will prescribe, but try your luck).
