Other than that minor decision on health care due out in the next few hours, the most important ruling made this week by the U.S. Supreme Court is the one that will allow Democrats to resume a competitive — if not dominant — role in Georgia politics. Not today, not tomorrow, but within the lifetimes of most of this state's current residents.
What? You missed that one?
Without being too cute about it, a Democratic resurgence in Georgia may be the ultimate impact of the court's ruling on how far states — in this case Arizona — can go in the fight against illegal immigration.
This is about numbers, not philosophy. Last week, Alan Abramowitz, the Emory University political scientist, pointed out some interesting statistics on the secretary of state's website.
In 2001, as the lowering of a segregation-era state flag was about to spark a Republican revolution, whites made up a domineering 72 percent of 4.6 million registered Georgia voters. African-Americans accounted for 26 percent. Hispanics, Asians and "others" were at a mere 2 percent.
By May 2008, with black enthusiasm over Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama yet to peak, white voters shrank to 65 percent of the electorate. This past May, even with Republican-backed voter ID laws firmly in place, the trend continued.
White voters now make up just a hair over 60 percent of registered Georgia voters. African-Americans are up to 29 percent. And "other" has increased fourfold to 10 percent.
Demography, like a glacier, is slow but relentless. Unless Republicans can make more inroads among minorities, their time as rulers of the state Capitol is finite.
"There's not a magic number," Abramowitz said. "But I'd say that within the next decade, I'd expect that Democrats will be in a much stronger position in statewide elections."
Statewide, Hispanics made up 9 percent of Georgia's population in the 2010 census, but only a small fraction vote — not surprising, since many of them dare not register. But that will change.
Which brings us back to Tuesday's 5-3 ruling on Arizona's illegal immigration law.
Yes, Gov. Nathan Deal and Attorney General Sam Olens praised the court's acknowledgement that states have a legitimate, though clearly junior, role in immigration enforcement. Five justices agreed that law enforcement officials indeed can be given the power to ascertain the citizenship of individuals stopped for other reasons.
But the philosophy behind Arizona's law, and that of Georgia's HB 87, is the creation of a climate so hostile to illegal immigrants that they will leave of their own accord. "Self-deportation" was embraced by Mitt Romney in the Republican primary as he strove to run to the right of both former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
That's where the Supreme Court drew its line. Justices struck down portions of the Arizona statute that made it a violation of state law for an undocumented worker to apply for a job or walk around without identity papers.
Court challenges to HB 87 will now begin in earnest. Georgia's law contains its own efforts to deprive illegal immigrants of a social support system. For instance, knowingly transporting or harboring an illegal immigrant — driving one to work or renting one an apartment — in many cases would be a crime.
But criminalizing such association will be hard to reconcile with this line from Tuesday's decision: "Removal is a civil, not criminal, matter. A principal feature of the removal system is the broad discretion exercised by immigration officials." Whether the illegal immigrant has children born here, has strong ties to the community or a distinguished U.S. military record all can be taken into account, the court acknowledged.
Aside from undercutting self-deportation, that language appears to endorse the latitude that President Obama used when he declared earlier this month that illegal immigrants brought here as children would be granted deportation waivers.
Otherwise, the justices pointed to Congress for larger solutions. "Congress has specified which aliens may be removed from the United States and the procedures for doing so," the court said. So the fate of millions of people who live illegally and paperless in the U.S. lies mostly in the hands of 535 federal lawmakers in Washington, not individual states.
Republicans in Washington will require time to sort themselves out on the issue — if not this year, then the next one or the next one. That means Georgia's demographic glacier will continue apace as people live, fall in love and have babies.
That delay should give Democrats hope and Republicans heartburn.

The Republicans have a choice: to try to reach out to Hispanics like W or to do as they have been doing lately. As we know from our own history in the South, those who want to suppress voting can be quite creative and temporarily successful but in the long run will lose. It will first surface in places like Hall and Gwinnett Counties, 2 Tea Party bastions. It will be interesting to see.

Why don't the Republicans try to reach everyone? They have long ignored black conservative christians. Also, a person's race doesn't necessarily affect their party affiliation. It's now coming down to treatment. The Republicans have ailenated everyone–Blacks, gays, women, hispanics, asians. They are not inclusive. Everything is dependent on greed. Karl Rove leads this effort by twisting issues. Now, with their effort to demonize this president, I think they are turning people off. Why is it that we can no long have civil debates in this country. The media no longer prints or broadcasts the facts of any situation. Everything is spun. American citizens are too lazy to research anything. Instead of all of us focusing on the presidency, we should focus on the immobile Congress. Their the ones who make and pass laws. They, democrat and republican could have already worked on immigration, the economy, student loans, gun control, trade with foreign nations. They only work a third of the year but Americans are too blinded to even care. That's why we're in the situation that we're in.

Hate to burst your bubble Jim but the demographic shift towards minority growth is swinging back the other way. As of 2011, Hispanic birth rates have fallen drastically and black birth rates have flattened. Only non-Hispanic whites have had an increase in birth rates over the last three years. In fact our birth rates have been steadily climbing back since 2007 actually. I don't know why the whites of Generation X had such few children, but the whites that make up generation Y, like myself, are having a lot more kids and the numbers are starting to show that. Also out of that 9% of the population that Hispanics make up, I would bet well over half of that is comprised of illegal aliens. The Census counts everybody legal or not. However, being a descendant of family that's been in Georgia since the 1740's, I'll be darned if I ever se habla to a governor of this state.

Jim, why aren't you writing about how the NRA is running America? I'm appalled that the NRA is keeping score on who isn't voting to hold Eric Holder in contempt. It is widely reported that he didn't have knowledge of this gun situation with the Fast and Furious operation. This lends itself to bribing public officials. Why isnt anyone asking why its so easy for criminals to buy guns in Arizona? If anyone is complicit in the law enforcement agent's murder, its the State of Arizona and the NRA. Talk about spinning a story. Why isn't Congress doing the real work of getting this country back on its feet? Whimps.

Why can't people simply vote for the person who is best qualified for the position and whom is most committed to what is best for the people they represent.
The whole white/black/hispanic/etc. voting block nonsense is getting old. America would be soooooo much better IF everyone was a little mix of all races. If everyone had to choose the "other" box………………….politicians, judges, school acceptance boards and potential employers would be forced and ALLOWED to treat everyone in a fair and just manner.
As far as the implication in the AJC post above that some of these groups will definitely vote Democratic: It is a crying shame that the Democrats know going into an election that these groups will vote for them………this is why the Democrats constantly talk about helping these various groups but never actually pass any bills to significantly impact the lives of the actual people.
Look around at you friends and co-workers: Most people who are 40+ years old that follow politics and truly think things through are Independent, Libertarian or Republican………………..over time smart people realize the truth about Democrats (a huge percentage of the Democratic politicians are more interested in voting blocks, personal power and becoming rich than the interests/needs of the people they are supposed to represent). The ignorant masses are typically staunch Democrats.
Wake up people!
Related comment: Union workers are another blind voting block for Dems (unions should be strictly against Federal Law!).

Dawgs88—Many Hispanic people are said to be conservative because of their religious beliefs. But you've offended them with your racist reference. This is exactly what I mean about the Republican party–they scare people away with their racism, sexism, and intolerance. Race continues to divide this country.

One of Galloway's more inventive wishful thinking stretches. As the Democratic party moves further and further left, fewer Georgia voters stomach it. The state has consistently moved Republican in every category – Governor, House, Senate, Attorney General, U.S. Senators, and the U.S. Congressional Representatives. As minority voters gain in education levels and move up the economic ladder, they become more conservative and rely less on government subsidies (lean closer to Republican philosophy).
My father was a staunch conservative and voted straight line Republican until the day he died. Now, for some reason, he votes Democrat. Voter ID, more sophistication in catching voter fraud (other dead also tend to vote for Democrats), and the ILLEGAL immigration law that passed and is intact will limit current and future "votes" for Democrats.

The irony is that the ruling class Republicans (the upper 1%), not to be confused with "Joe the Plumber" Republicans (who are at best, nouveau riche middle class), opened the flood gates. In Dalton, the town with the highest percentage of illegal alien residents in the Georgia, the principals of the carpet industry, who are to the man Republicans, are admittedly and proud of it, 100 percent responsible.
Greed drives short term solutions based soley on profit, without any regard to the consequences. It is unlikely that the "Joe the Plumber" Republicans will ever wake up to the fact that they are being played like fiddles by the 1%, because they are under the illusion that they have common interests.

Good grief, Hiram – one percenters are in Hollywood and other entertainment venues who are 95% liberal Democrats. There are many CEO's, independently wealthy folks donating, campaigning, and showing up at these Obama fundraiser events. The majority of the one percenter U.S. Senators are Democrats. This small group is certainly not exclusive inside the Republican party.
But I will give you that a majority of productive workers, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and stockholders are probably Republican – they are the top thirty percenters. The electoral battle is in the middle – and many of them aspire to move-up with "Joe the plumber".

First, Vote out all Repukers at every level. What jobs program have they put forward. Instead they waste all their time just being mean spirited in trying to force Women back to the dark ages with respect to controlling their own bodies. Not one Repuker has spoken out against the Intimidation practices Currently going on against their reporductive doctors. Hold them accountable. Instead of offering Tax Cuts to any business that Relocates Jobs back to Georgia they twindle their thumbs cooking up ways to control people. They have cut Education, now trying to push forward their Charter Schools that will completely destroy public education for all, especially in the Rural Areas of Georgia and in Inner City Schools. With money only going to Rich and Well connected. So, get out there and VOTE OUT, against all Repukers. Now at the National Level: Vote out: Jack Kingston, who wants to DRUG TEST for breathing, and make it so you cannot get a job, or help in getting any kind of Benefits. Westmoreland, who has done nothing at all. Tom Graves, Scott, and any other Congressperson in your Congressional District. As far as the State House VOTE against all the Repukers. Get rid of them. They are all bought and sold by Grover Norquist and the Flithy Rich who only care about a Tax Cut for themselves, and nothing for Working People!

I wish that I was half as intelligent as your think you are. The 1% is relative – in Dalton the principals of the Carpet Industry are the top .001 percent, and would fall in the top 1% state wide. I assure you that they had no intention of increasing the percentage of Democratic voters in the state. All they were interested in was taking advantage of a cheap labor force, and nothing else mattered.

I don't think any informed person would argue with the fact that most of the illegal aliens in our country today are here at the behest of Republicans, who politically drove the lack of enforcement of our immigration laws – whether it be Vidalia onion farmers, chicken processors, the hospitality industry, the carpet cartel or the good old boy contractors, they are all Republicans who couldn't, and still can't see beyond the ends of their noses – not the hard working geniuses that you portray in your rosey scenarios.

@ hiram – So are you saying the carpet industry principals in Dalton are upset with the Republicans who passed and limited their use of ILLEGAL cheap labor? You probably noticed it was Democrats and the liberal AJC that fought the issue, and still hoping to sidestep it. Aren't you confirming my point?
June 27th, 2012
8:46 pm
@ hiram
Before you start patting yourself on the back, check your math. 0.001 percent of the Dalton population is 0.33 people – let me make it easy, 1/3 of a person.
The tufted textile industry started around Dalton in the 1930s and really began to grow in the 1960s. No companies moved in to take advantage of cheap labor – the companies started locally and used the labor that was available. If all the companies wanted was cheap labor, they would have moved elsewhere long ago.
June 27th, 2012

What about the law-abiding applicants who as the popular complaint goes *did everything right* and filled out the neverending forms and got in line for entry into the US and have been waiting and waiting for their turn? Do you remember the scorn expressed for those who cut in line? Obama's goody bag of waivers is turning this country into outlaw territory. There is a nasty implied racism in the comments by Professor Abramowicz and the others who comment here who seem so so preoccupied with the skin color of republicans.

You are so right. Next time anyone is up near Dalton Stop at connector 3 and see the GOP's handy work.
"All they were interested in was taking advantage of a cheap labor force, and nothing else mattered."
I leave with this thought.
"A DEAL came down to Dalton looking for a roll of carpet to buy, Sadly for DEAL since he AND HIS KIND THEY trash the economy, most all the carpet mills closed and the people left that manufactured carpet."
As or the Latino Community .The Gov of Alabama we will not profile immigrants.
If your are Latino You will be profiled in Dalton.

I didn't do the math, but I was close. They would all fit comfortably in a compact car.
Your Dalton history isn't even close. Tufted textiles includes handmade and machined bedspreads, and other chenilles, like bath sets. Tufted carpet evolved from the machined chenille industry, and I've forgotten more about Dalton's history than you will ever know.
The companies openly recruited illegal alien labor, and there are numerous documents to support that, including national publications and court documents. Just Google illegal aliens(immigrants) and Dalton. It will take you all night to read the returns.

These changing demographics are precisely the reason why there is a white backlash in Georgia against the Democrats and the President, in particular. But this lily white 60 year old male loves the fact that soon the toothless morons throughout rural Georgia will be a minority and white urban voters will join with our brethren of a different complexion to restore this state to sanity.

"@ hiram – So are you saying the carpet industry principals in Dalton are upset with the Republicans who passed and limited their use of ILLEGAL cheap labor?"
You are misinformed. The law is a joke, or Deal wouldn't have signed it. And besides that, a large percentage of the Hispanics in Dalton are from the West Coast – the result of Reagan's disastorous amnesty. They follow the illegals whereever they go to take advantage of the jobs created by the language barrier. More of Dalton's English speaking citizens are discriminated against than the illegal aliens. Dalton's native citizens have paid a tremendous cost at the hand of Republicans.

Back to Galloway's current blog – little doubt that next year Georgia will follow Florida's lead in purging voter rolls of non-citizens.

I hope the Democrats get back in the game, but if they do, I suspect it won't be due to demographic wishful thinking. Lots of illegals left the state between 2010 and 2012.
What would really help the Democrats would be to stand up for the middle class again. Running against the crony capitalism and corruption (as exemplified by the TSPLOST with it's payoffs to the moochers and rent seekers in big business) would be a winning formula, in my opinion.

'Dr. Doom' sees parallels to 1914 in Asia
Nouriel Roubini is struck by comparisons to 100 years ago when World War I broke out.
With many parts of the world gearing up to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the first world war, Nouriel Roubini (pictured) has solidified his hold on the title "Dr. Doom" by suggesting parallels between 2014 and 1914.
There may be no Austro-Hungarian empire or Archduke Franz Ferdinand, but Roubini tweeted this from the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos Thursday:
"Many speakers compare 2014 to 1914 when WWI broke out & no one expected it. A black swan in the form of a war between China & Japan?"
He then tweeted some of the reasoning behind this train of thought.
"Echoes of 1914: backlash against globalization, gilded age of inequality, rising geopolitical tensions, ignoring tail risks"
While Roubini is renowned for his bubble warnings and doom scenarios, his concerns weren't drawn out of thin air, but rather taken mainly from the lips of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
According to reports from both The Financial Times and BBC, Abe said on Wednesday that China and Japan were in a "similar situation" to that of Britain and Germany ahead of World War I.
However, Reuters reported that Abe's top spokesman denied the Japanese leader meant war was possible or imminent, which is unthinkable for many.
Still, Abe said that China's increase in military spending was a source of instability in the region and he reiterated his calls for a military hotline to avert a conflict. In November, China tried to impose an air defense zone over a small collection of islands in the East China Sea, which the Japanese call the Senkaku Islands while the Chinese refer to them as Diaoyu.
Abe himself is a hawk. Back in December, he visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine, which honors Japan's wartime dead, including those who committed atrocities during the country's march across Asia during the World War II.
There are other areas of concern in the rest of the world for those seemingly keen to compare 2014 to 1914: the ongoing Syrian civil war and its ramifications for the Middle East, as well as the future of Iran's place in the international community.
Furthermore, the current protests in Kiev and Ukraine's pro-EU or pro-Russia dilemma raise questions over the rising power of Russia and how Western powers deal with this.
Yet Roubini also mentioned the twin problems of a "backlash against globalization" and a "gilded age of inequality." The latter has been a watchword at Davos this year and has become the key focus of President Barack Obama's final term in office. In a speech to a think-tank in Washington D.C. last month, Obama described it as the "defining issue of our time."
Perhaps 1914 isn't a good comparison, but rather 1848 and 1968 could be: the former a year of revolutions across Europe; the latter a year of socialist, communist and student protests in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy and the USSR. Will 2014 be the year when there is a growing backlash against the prevailing status quo and rising income inequalities?
Of course, it is worth noting that the written history of World War I has come under much scrutiny in recent months, as politicians and historians debate over revisionist theories and nationalistic fervor.
As Joseph Nye, a former U.S. assistant secretary of defense, has written: "Among the lessons to be learned from the events of 1914 is to be wary of analysts wielding historical analogies, particularly if they have a whiff of inevitability.
"War is never inevitable, though the belief that it is can become one of its causes."

We never solved the problem of $500-700Trillion in Scam Banking Derivatives plus we now have the FEDS sitting on over $4Trillion in Fake Money. Most Corporations have likely bought their own Stocks at Highs instead of investing in Workers and equipment. In the end, because of GREED, this current Form of Phony Capitalism will destroy everything it has created.
I guess I would ask Roubini how he connects or views such other strife as Sudan, Iraq/US. Afghan/US, Iran/US, N.Korea/US, Russia/ with many of her neighbors, Syria; And Israel against everything Middle Eastern....And then all the instability in the N. African Nations..
Guess we just chuck that off to "Geopolitical Tensions."
That has never been true as Winners and losers are determined many times by Bought and Paid for Greedy, Selfish Politicians. The Wage Gap has moved from 40 to 1 to well over 400 to 1 as Global Poverty and Pollution is at Record Levels. But some idiots want you believe that Capitalism is Working.
"""To say nobody can predict the future is to put your limitations onto others. I can't predict the future but I can't say the same about everyone"""
I disagree. I think that anybody, and you, can predict the future. If you light a match and hold the flame under your newspaper, you're probably safe in predicting the result. When you see someone speeding down a snowy highway toward a red light, you're probably safe in predicting what's going to happen. If you see rusty tank of hazardous chemicals near a river, you're proabably safe in predicting what's going to happen. If you see rising income inequality....

New polls Monday predicted landslide wins for Hillary Clinton in two looming primaries, despite pressure for her to cede to Barack Obama's mathematical stranglehold on the Democratic White House race.
The former first lady, who is vowing to battle on even as Obama turns his sights on Republican presumptive nominee John McCain, led her foe by 36 points in the latest poll out of West Virginia, which votes Tuesday.
In Kentucky, which holds its primary on May 20, Clinton was up 58 to 31 percent, in another poll suggesting Obama faces an uncomfortable two weeks.
Huge wins for Clinton in both states will do little to loosen Obama's mathematical advantage in the epic Democratic nominating contest.
But lopsided loses in the two states could underscore the Illinois senator's struggle to win over white, working-class voters, which could be a problem in November's election.
Arizona senator McCain, who was Monday giving a major speech on global warming, and Obama are increasingly fighting the early shots in the general election campaign.
The Obama campaign has launched a 50-state voter registration drive and both sides are trying to woo independent voters and are plotting battle plans to be rolled out as soon as the Democratic race is over.
Highlighting his growing focus on November, Obama meanwhile laid plans to campaign on Tuesday in crucial general election swing state Missouri, after stops in West Virginia and Kentucky.
Clinton meanwhile poured her energy into eve of the primary campaigning in West Virginia.
A Suffolk University poll ahead of the primary had Clinton leading Obama by 60 percent to 24 percent.
David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center said the poll was a poor omen for Obama in the general election.
"Barack Obama may have to write off West Virginia come November," he said.
In a Herald-Leader/WKYT Kentucky Poll of probable Democratic voters, Clinton led by 58 percent of 31 percent, though the survey showed either Democrat had a tough task in beating McCain in the state in November.
Clinton trails Obama in nominating delegates, nominating contests won and the popular vote going into the latest primaries, with only six more contests left in the gruelling Democratic race.
She has also lost her lead in superdelegates, the party officials who will likely decide the nomination, now that neither Clinton nor Obama can reach the nominating threshold of 2,025 delegates on pledged delegates alone.
According to independent website RealClearPolitics, Obama leads Clinton by 276 superdelegates to 272, and in total delegates by 1,867 to 1698.
McCain meanwhile sharply broke with fellow Republican, President George W. Bush on climate change, in a strategy that also had one eye on independent voters, as environmental issues rise in importance on the US election agenda.
"I will not shirk the mantle of leadership that the United States bears," McCain was due to say in a speech in the western state of Oregon.
"I will not permit eight long years to pass without serious action on serious challenges," he said, in a clear rebuke to the Bush administration.
Following Obama's victory in North Carolina last week, and his narrow loss in Indiana, Obama's chief strategist David Axelrod said on Fox News Sunday: "We're coming to the end of the process.
"And I think there's an eagerness on the part of the party leadership and activists across the country to get on with the general election campaign," he said.
One Response to "Clinton holds poll leads in WVA, KY"
I'd much prefer knowing that the people of West Virginia see through the Clinton machine's pandering promises — I'm trying to accept how awful their economy is — probably worse than anywhere else. That's the only thing to account for the huge margin of votes she's supposed to get tomorrow.
If they were less than financially desperate, they'd realize those things that sound so good are actually lies flying out of Hillary's face.
However, I am surprised that Kentucky (they say) will also go for the Clintons. The birthplace of Lincoln, blue grass, and Seabiscuit really should be able to tell the difference between old politics and lies, and new politics and vision.

Can We Trust US Intelligence on Syrian Chemical Weapons? [Truthloader]
- Knewtube
- uploaded: Jun 15, 2013
- Hits: 55
Barack Obama has announced that the US will support the "rebels" in Syria with weapons. Russia has said that the evidence used to justify this is not convincing, yet both France and Britain are on board that Assad has used chemical weapons. Can a military intervention be justified on these assertions?

- internet is only for those who are a member, which sucks. In almost any other hostel you get free WiFi. Sometimes not much (20 MB), but beter then nothing at all. - location sucks. It is too far away from the city. There are hostels that are closer by. - staff could be beter. The woman didn't help me, didn't make any suggestions. - 8 dorm room was okay; you've space enough, but the beds are too low. If you the bottom bed you couldn't sit up. Very cold inside.

We were not very pleased with our room I think it was Rm 26 a twin with en-suite it was located in a separate building its not very pleasant walking to the kitchen in the rain. Our main concern is that the floor was not clean I don't think it had seen a vacuum cleaner in a long time We noted that there was o blue piece of carpet between the 2 beds I wondered why I lifted it up there was a hole in the floor covering which it difficult to clean.Under the beds it was not clean also.

Definition of Probation Status
You are placed on academic probation when your term GPA, cumulative GPA OR cumulative major GPA are below 2.00.
What does it mean to be on probation?
Probation is an academic warning. It is a good time to reflect on what changes need to be made to ensure you will be more successful next term. Since both a 2.00 cumulative and cumulative major GPA are required for graduation, anytime your GPA is below that minimum level, we put you on probation as a warning. If you have two terms in a row below the 2.00 level, you will be suspended from MSOE and will need to write an appeal letter to continue as a student.
How does this affect me?
If you are placed on probation, you may not be enrolled in more than four courses. Please note that you may take OR-1911 PASS class in addition to four classes because it is a zero credit class. If you remain enrolled in more than four courses after Friday of the first week of the term at 4:30 p.m., your department chairperson or program director may drop one or more courses from your schedule to meet this requirement. If you wait until after Friday of the first week to drop the course(s) to comply with this requirement, the course(s) will not be removed from your transcript and will show a grade of W (withdraw).
We encourage you to meet with your advisor prior to deciding which course(s) to drop since choosing the wrong course may cause prerequisite problems in future terms. Students on probation are given a limit to the number of classes they can take so they can concentrate on fewer classes, improve their grades and regain their good standing status. If there are extenuating circumstances that you believe warrant a waiver of the four course limit, you must contact your department chairperson by Friday of the first week of the quarter to discuss your situation.
I failed a class last term; now what should I do?
Often, failing a class will cause you some prerequisite issues in future terms. You cannot be enrolled in a course if you failed the prerequisite. Prerequisites are listed in the course description section of the Academic Catalog. If you have questions regarding prerequisites, please review your schedule with your advisor to be sure you are in compliance with this policy.
I had a grade change; do I still have to drop a class?
If you have had a grade change that raises all of your GPAs above 2.00, please contact the Registrar so your status can be re-evaluated. If, your status is changed to 'Good Standing' by Friday of the first week of the quarter, you will not be required to drop a class. If you have a grade change pending that will not be resolved by the end of the first week, please contact the Registrar.
Is there anything I can do to ensure that I will do better next term and get off probation?
Yes! MSOE has many resources available to help you be successful.

Where We Live: The Enfield Graduation Debate
Enfield Schools to hold graduation ceremonies in a Bloomfield church.
This spring, 481 students will graduate from two Enfield high schools. But they won't receive their diplomas on school grounds, instead, they'll graduate in Baptist church in Bloomfield.
The ACLU has sued the Enfield School district, saying the practice would violate the First Amendment rights of the graduates and their families---by communicating a message of favoritism for Christianity. School officials, meanwhile, say the practice is a cost-effective plan, not designed to promote religion.
It's not clear when the case will go to trial, but in the meantime, the ACLU has asked for a temporary injunction on behalf of the anonymous plaintiffs they represent. If granted, the injunction would halt the current commencement plans. With no backup in place, will graduating seniors be caught in between?
Today, a discussion about the First Amendment, religious freedom, and the role of symbols in public life. Join us---What do you think about a public school rite-of-passage taking place in a religious space? Totally offensive? Or no big deal?

Service organisation control reports are reports on the internal control structure for organisations that provide transaction processing services.
The objective of a service organisation control report is to provide clients of a service organisation and their independent auditors with information on policies, procedures and controls that may be relevant to their internal control structure and their financial statements.
The clients use the report to understand the adequacy and operating effectiveness of their service provider's controls.
The client's auditors use the report to understand controls related to a service that is likely to be relevant to clients' internal control, as it relates to financial reporting, and to reduce or eliminate audit procedures at the service organisation.
Service organisation control reports have become increasingly prevalent in the marketplace since the issuance of Statements on Auditing Standards N° 70, Service Organisations (SAS 70) in 1992.
The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) issued a new international standard for engagements to report on controls at service organisations. At the same time, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) also redrafted SAS 70.
The new standards have become effective for assurance reports covering periods ending on or after June 15 2011. These revisions of SAS 70 represent the first significant modifications to the standard since it was issued nearly two decades ago. While the standards issued by the IAASB and AICPA are not significantly different from each other, they do present some changes from SAS 70 that may prove challenging for some service organisations.
One reason for the change is that prior to the IAASB's development of International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3402 (ISAE 3402), there was no global standard for engagements to report on controls at a service organisation. SAS 70 is a U.S. standard, and although it has been used for engagements outside the U.S., the IAASB saw a need to develop an internationally recognised standard.
The AICPA, as part of its efforts to converge its U.S. standards with those of the IAASB, followed suit and issued a new Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) that replaced SAS 70 and mirrored ISAE 3402.
The new standards by the IAASB and AICPA are not aimed at overhauling how an engagement to report on controls at a service organisation is performed. Rather, they have been issued to meet the demands of the current market environment and to fit into the modern framework of assurance standards.
A short history of audit requirements for service organisations:
Contingent on to the maturity of a service organisation with their internal control framework, two types of ISAE 3402/ SSAE 16 reports can be issued, resulting from the independent assessment:
A Type 1 report covers controls placed in operation as of a point in time and is considered to be of limited use as it does not cover the operating effectiveness of the controls. Typically, service organisations undertake a Type 1 examination only in their first year of going through such an examination as they may lack the evidential documentation supporting the operating effectiveness of the controls.
Alternatively, a Type 2 report covers controls placed in operation and tests of operating effectiveness for a period of time (generally not less than 6 months and not more than 12 months). This type of report may be utilised by clients and client financial statement auditors for control reliance purposes for an audit, as the differentiating factor is that a Type 2 report includes tests of operating effectiveness and the corresponding results within the report.
A Type 2 report is most beneficial to an organisation since it tests the effectiveness of the controls over the period of time and it is most often requested and expected by a service organisation's clients.

lmao straight people will make up an alphabet of gallifreyan, memorize elvish language and learn to speak klingon but all of a sudden "cis isnt a real word" and "how am i supposed to know all of these sexualities"
I'm fucking gay and I honestly have better luck speaking Elvish, and Klingon, and writing Gallifreyan than I can with naming all the fucking titles we've come the fuck up with. What the SHIT does being straight have ANYTHING to do with that?
We have a fucking label for literally everything. And frankly, it's ridiculous. It really fucking is. Why do we feel the damned need to label every goddamn thing? We might as well call ourselves the fucking Alphabet because that's basically where the hell we're heading with the whole LGBTQIPA.
I mean really. LOOK AT THAT. LOOK AT IT. LGBTQIPA. I FEEL LIKE I JUST BUTTON MASHED MY KEYBOARD TRYING TO TYPE THAT OUT. We, ourselves, are getting far too ridiculous over our labels. What happened to all of us being one QUEER community? Or better yet, PEOPLE. Why are we so bent on having labels tell us who we are? Why does that label of what sexuality you are, define you as a person? Why?
More so, why do you feel the need to shame a person who is straight, and has learned the lovely fictional languages of Elvish or Klingon or Galifreyan, but has issues learning our damned labels? They change and more keep randomly showing up every damned second!
I'm not straight, and I can't tell you every damned label it is we have. Am I suddenly a 'bad gay' or somehow any less gay for it? No. I'm not. I'm still me. I'm still a gay woman who is tried of the crap that everyone wants to keep pulling to make themselves look better and to shame others. Many of those straight people that don't know every goddamn sexuality in the goddamn book that seems to get bigger and bigger every time you blink, are our ALLIES. And without them, we honestly wouldn't be getting any-fucking-where with our progress. We'd be going backwards with the amount of hate so many people keep throwing out about gays.
We, as a community, need to take a step back and look at what the fuck we're doing now. We complain about homophobia, when you, right now, are showing straightphobia. And yes. That has now become a term, because apparently, half of this damn community hates straight people!
So congrats, everyone. Congrats on making yourselves look just as bad as those with homophobia and are trying to prevent any further acceptance and equality for the Queer Community.

Would people be as comfortable buying meat if the date the animal was KILLED was displayed alongside the 'best before' date? Consumers should remember that meat is the dead flesh from a once living breathing sentient animal who didn't want to die.
actually i would feel more comfortable. it would make choosing fresher meat easier. thats a very good idea.

7 reasons 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' is the most progressive sitcom on TV
While Brooklyn Nine-Nine surprised many Golden Globes viewers when it took home two trophies at this year's ceremony, its freshman season has been churning out one solid episode after another. And not only is the show hysterical, but it may be the most progressive show on TV. The cop comedy is on-point when it comes to portraying women, gay characters and people of color. Other shows should take notes when attempting to deliver a similarly progressive message to a millennial audience.
Follow policymic on Tumblr
hey, guys?
this is a pretty important petition i think we need to pass around again.
creepshots has both a tumblr and a twitter in which they openly accept demeaning pictures of women, WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. THESE IMAGES ARE TAKEN OF WOMEN WHO HAVE NO IDEA THEY ARE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED, AND THEN PUT ONLINE FOR THESE FUCKING WASTES OF SPACE TO "ENJOY".
look at either of them if you want a taste, but be aware that comments such as "She fall from lifting the bar or lifting those tits?" are common on each and every unsolicited, disgustingly indulgent photo.
on top of this, they have allegedly accepted images of women in their own homes, taken by spouses or boyfriends without their partner's consent.
this is not fucking fair.
this is fucking disgusting.
and we have no choice but to get together and shut them down.

About the Pictures Image Gallery
Protein folding is the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure from random coil.Each protein exists as an unfolded polypeptide or random coil when translated from a sequence of mRNA to a linear chain of amino acids. This polypeptide lacks any developed three-dimensional structure (the left hand side of the neighboring figure). Amino acids interact with each other to produce a well-defined three-dimensional structure, the folded protein (the right hand side of the figure), known as the native state. The resulting three-dimensional structure is determined by the amino acid sequence (Anfinsen's dogma).
