For those who saw Jeb Bush's clumsy rollout of his new immigration book as a tipoff that he had forfeited his political instincts, not to mention his principles: not so fast.
The former Florida governor delivered arguably the signature speech of this year's Conservative Political Action Conference and one of the strongest doses of tough love in the Republican Party's postelection recovery period. It stretched out two arms toward a rapidly diversifying electorate and a global economy, dipped into the weeds of public policy on immigration and education, and envisioned his party's road back to the White House.
Even if Bush rules out a presidential bid in 2016, as his closest allies suspect, the speech signals that he will continue to be a force in domestic policy debates and Republican politics.
"I'm here to tell you there is no us or them," Bush said, repositioning himself as truth-teller after a week of fending off accusations that he had flip-flopped on immigration. "The face of the Republican Party needs to be the face of every American, and we need to be the party of inclusion and acceptance. It's our heritage and it's our future and we need to couch our efforts in those terms."
When most Republicans talk about expanding the "tent" these days, they usually mean the fast-growing Hispanic community, which widely repudiated Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 election. The chase for Hispanic votes by both political parties, at its most crass, verges on political pandering. But Bush talked not just about race and ethnicity and but also about income inequality, lifting his speech above the typical Republican appeals and far beyond the limited scope of Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign, which seemed to be talking only to a privileged few.
"It is not a validation of our conservative principles if we can only point to the increasingly rare individual who overcomes adversity and succeeds in America," Bush said. "Here's reality: if you're fortunate enough to count yourself among the privileged, much of the rest of the nation is drowning. In our country today, if you're born poor, if your parents didn't go to college, if you don't know your father, if English isn't spoken at your home, then the odds are stacked against you."
These are not words typically spoken by Republican political figures.
The bold speech followed a week in which Bush was widely criticized upon the release of his new book, Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution. In the book, Bush opposes -- contrary to his previous statements -- allowing the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. to earn citizenship. Instead, the book recommends awarding only legal status, raising the embarrassing specter of a flip-flop by the one-time champion of immigration reform who is viewed as a party statesman.
Bush's excuse was that he had written the book during the 2012 campaign, when the Republican Party's standard-bearer, Romney, opposed citizenship even for young people brought here illegally by their parents and was recommending "self-deportation." Bush was apparently trying to crack the window for conservative Republicans; instead he appeared to be undermining the current talks on Capitol Hill, which include the possibility of citizenship.
In his speech Friday, Bush didn't revisit the public-relations disaster but described immigration not as a problem but as an opportunity. "As a nation, if we get immigration right, and I hope and pray that's the case this year, we're going to stay young.... America remains younger than all industrialized nations."
Ironically, Bush gave part of the speech that his former protégé, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, could have given the day before. Rubio, who is Cuban-American, is leading immigration-reform talks on Capitol Hill but chose not to mention the issue during his CPAC speech.
A staunch social conservative as governor, Bush didn't pick up the torch for climate change or gay marriage, as some of his fellow Republicans are doing, but he did urge the party to pull back from its combative positions on social issues.
"Too often we're associated with being "anti" everything," he said. "Way too many people believe Republicans are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker…and the list goes on and on and on. Many voters are simply unwilling to choose our candidates even though they are our beliefs because those voters feel unloved, unwanted and unwelcome in our party."
He continued, "This means that we must move beyond the divisive and extraneous issues that currently define the public debate."

This story was updated at 5 p.m. on Dec. 19, 2012.
Montgomery County police arrested an Olney man Wednesday for the shooting of a 22-year-old man in an Aspen Hill park Tuesday afternoon.
Damacrius Damone Grays, 19, of the 4400 block of Fishermans Court in Olney, was arrested at 10 a.m. Wednesday and charged with attempted first-degree murder, said Capt. Paul Starks, a Montgomery County police spokesman. The shooting took place after a disagreement between Grays and the 22-year-old man, Starks said.
Both county and park police officers responded North Gate Park, at Connecticut Avenue and Grand Pre Road, at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday where they found the man suffering from a single gunshot in his eye, said Capt. John A. Damskey, who commands the Wheaton police district. Damskey said police were fairly certain they knew Grays was involved shortly after responding to the scene, though he was not brought in for questioning right away.
"When we first arrived on the scene the victim was conscious and talking to officers," Damskey said. "We were able to follow leads from evidence we recovered at the scene to identify the victim and the suspect almost right away. We've come this far very, very quickly thanks a lot to the hard work from the Major Crimes Division and specifically our detectives."
Detectives also believe that Grays and the man knew each other, indicating the shooting was not a random crime, Damskey said. Several witnesses were also in the park when the shooting occurred, police said.
The man was immediately taken to a local hospital where he remains in "grave condition" Wednesday afternoon. Police have not released his name yet because they are having difficulty reaching members of his extended family. Because of the serious nature of the crime and the man's injuries, county police took over the investigation, said Lt. Bill Kellogg, a spokesman for the Maryland-National Capital Park Police's Montgomery County Division.
Tuesday's incident marks the fifth shooting in Montgomery County since Dec. 3.
Back-to-back shootings have some members of the community concerned, including Carol Petzold, a former Maryland delegate and a longtime member of the nearby Aspen Hill Civic Association, which represents neighborhood interests on the other side of Georgia Avenue.
"We are concerned whenever repeated things like that happen and this was a daylight shooting," Petzold said. "It's something for us to be concerned about, but I have a lot of faith in our [Wheaton] district patrols and I'm glad that they have made an arrest in the second shooting, I just hope that it can be contained and there won't be any more."
Police were still questioning Grays on Wednesday evening and he had not been taken to the Montgomery County Detention Center.

I apparently had an allergic reaction to Nuvigil 150 mg. Shortness of breath, chest pain, disorientation and a host of other problems. They were minor on the first day, so I assumed it was ok and would try it again. The next time, more severe. I had taken an antihistamine a few hours beforehand, so that may have helped it not become more serious. I was instructed to quit using it immediately.
I have been diagnosed with shift sleep disorder and idiopathic hypersomnia and take Nuvigil 250mg one daily. It works great, however, since my insurance will not cover it (and when I started taking it, I didn't even have insurance) and at over $400 for just 30 tablets it is not something that is affordable to me or my family. So my doctor suggested I apply for the cephalon cares foundation. Cephalon is the manufacturer of this med and if you are a family of 3 like mine, and your household income is less than $56,000/year then you may qualify to receive a year's supply for free. I applied in 2010 and have qualified every 6 months since. Which means that I get a 90 day (3 month) supply in the mail from the company for free. You can go to: http://www.cephalon.com/cephaloncares-foundation/do-i-qualify/nuvigil.html to check out if you can qualify for this great program
I am a 30 year old Narcoleptic female. I was diagnosed at 12 years old & went through most of the drugs used to treat Narcolepsy but none seemed to work. Finally my doctor convinced me to try this medication after another medication did work, but not well enough to keep me from having sleep attacks. I must say, as a person who has been through a LOT of medications for Narcolepsy, this medication has made a world of difference to my ability to get up and go. Insurance companies can give you a hard time unless you officially diagnosed with Narcolepsy with Cataplexy and that you have tried other medications without them working.
I am a 60 year old disabled female with sleep disorders and multiple health conditions including stroke, fibromyalgia, HBP, diabetes and arthritis to name a few. I was put on Nuvigil with a free trial month. It not only increased my energy but gave me ambition to get to of bed and do something! Since the medicare advantage plan I am on does not even cover the cost, I had to stop and go on methamphetamine which suck. It makes me agitated, irritable and I am awake with no desire to do anything. I have to take a sleeping pill at night whereas with Nuvigil I had no sleeping problems. I am very depressed now and don't know what to do.
Nuvigal has changed my life! I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy when I was 20 .After having major side effect from provigal I was put on Ritilan which then increased my fibromyalga systems. Has a young single mom that struggled to work and take care of my child. I cried and cried every night, becoming depressed that I would never be able to survive through this horrible life. I went to a new sleep Dr. Who wanted to prescribe Nuvigal. I first said no way, because of what happened with me and provigal. I became desperate as I was taking high doses of Ritilan that was making me sick, so I decided to try it. 5 years later. I am married with 2 more children. I work full time and am a honor student at my university. :) Nuvigal is a miricle. It has given me a life. I have 0 side effects from Nuvigal. No headaches! No chest pains! No cloudy daze! I would become a pharmaceutical rep just to promote this drug if I could. Nuvigal has awesome coupons even with insurance. I pay 20 bucks a month.
(Condition selected is not accurate since my condition was not listed.) Nuvigil (250mg) was prescribed to combat fatigue brought on by multiple sclerosis after my insurance company stopped paying for Provigil. What a scam this is! Cephalan (the manufacturer of both drugs) is about to loose the patent on Provigil (200mg) so they priced it out of reach so insurance company would refuse payment and so that patients would be forced to take their "new" drug Nuvigil (250mg). It's sickening to know that drug companies see us as laboratory mice on puppet strings. By the way - nuvigil stinks! It does not promote wakefulness -it only promotes an empty pocketbook and massive headaches along with huge mood swings. Great job, Cephalan! I see your officers are incredibly wealthy - don't they feel the least bit guilty for getting all that wealth from manipulating insurance companies, doctors and worst of all - those of us who truly need the poisons you hawk??
I feel like I got my life back. I couldn't stay awake to save my life. My Cpap works, but not for all day. I had my first day without a nap yesterday!
This has changed my life. I had no idea how exhausted I was--what I was feeling was BEYOND exhaustion --and now I get "normally" tired.
Working the relief shift in a powerplant I often have only 8 hrs. off between shifts. Nuvigil has worked well in helping me to maintian concentration and allertness in these situations.
Diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea about a year and a half ago,(I am a thin 40 year old woman) not the normal perception of a candidate but had all the symptoms and was always extremely tired.Doing well with the CPAP, but tiredness has gotten worse with time -sometimes narcoleptic( and my meds for chronic pain and fibromyalgia don't help at all, I've tried several to find one that doesn't make me tired) Yesterday my pain Doc recommended Nuvigil- today was my first day and I had to sit in a class all day at work ,so far I can honestly say it is AWESOME, I was able to stay awake,alert and actually felt like participating in a lot of the conversations and team building activities.

Bangka Belitung
Bangka and Belitong are two neighboring islands with almost similar geo-characteristics that separate themselves from the rest of the northeastern Sumatra's small islands. Here, kingdoms and colonial rulers came to take control since centuries ago. Tin was and still is the sole cause for the ruling powers to take charge. Bangka itself means "tin" in an ancient language, the Sanskrit. In Belitong, there are meteorites found everywhere within the soil that also bears tin ores. The locals name it Batu Satam, while the Dutch named it the Bilitonites. With so many distinctive features to offer, Bangka and Belitong are presented here in a series of images.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Half Of Interns Are Victims Of This Illegal Act After College. It's Really Not OK.
In 2005, when I graduated from college, I moved to New York. While I was looking for a job, one opened up that I would have likely tripped my mother to get — but it was an unpaid internship. Being from humble beginnings, there's no way I could live in a big city without being paid. And unless you actually don't need a job, who actually can?

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
Last year a pair of archaeologists said they believed they had narrowed in on the site of a 1662 Catholic chapel in Compton.
But they were still looking for a key piece of evidence — a post hole that would prove there had been a building on the site. Last month, Scott Lawrence and James Gibb, aided by the Archaeological Society of Maryland, found not one, but several post holes.
"This is what we've been looking for for two years," Gibb said, as he cleared away layers of dirt with a trowel, working in his bare feet.
The original St. Francis Xavier chapel was between the cemetery that is still there and what would have been tidal water leading to Breton Bay, an area that is now silted in.
The Archaeological Society of Maryland and the St. Francis Xavier parish provided more funding for another 10-day dig in June, which also unearthed evidence of a residence next to the chapel, perhaps the rectory, the home of the priest.
"We're sure we have the chapel," Lawrence said last Monday after the dig was finished.
Five confirmed post holes were uncovered – some lined up and some did not, but their discovery "tells us 100 percent we have the chapel," he said, which would have been 20 by 40 feet in size.
"We were through the roof actually" when the team found the post holes, said Valerie M.J. Hall, principal investigator volunteering with the Archaeological Society of Maryland.
The chapel site is free of domestic-use fragments, whereas the nearby residential site has evidence of cooking – pottery pieces, chips from a fireplace, a rusted knife blade and pig, cow and deer bones.
Removing the surface soil there showed evidence of a colonial pavement or courtyard, made of stones and oyster shells, which could have led to a house, Lawrence said. The walkway would have kept mud out of the house.
"It's a lot of weirdness here," Hall said, looking over the primitive pavement.
Evidence suggested that Native Americans and colonists coexisted at the site, she said. The English could only bring a limited amount of basic living supplies across the Atlantic. If something broke or ran out, they would have turned to the Native Americans, she said.
"This really is the frontier in the 17th century," she said, where Jesuit missionaries came over to convert Native Americans to Christianity. But the Jesuits had another role as well. "They came over as investors. They were invested in the colony," she said.
"They were here by every indication, we just have to find the post holes," she said, that would show evidence of a house.
There are no known records about the size of the house or if it was a priest's home, she said.
The group dug down 3 feet, still finding artifacts of a residence, including a curtain ring for a bed, which someone of prominence would have used, Lawrence said.
The project in total excavated 75 sections, Lawrence said, with 26 of them unearthed in the latest 10-day dig with the help of volunteers and the Archaeological Society of Maryland. "All in all we had a really good 10 days out here," he said.
"It takes a lot of time. It would be great to have another week or two to do this," Hall said. "It's like trying to put together a puzzle with half of the pieces gone and you don't have a picture."
Outlines of old grave shafts were frequently found during the dig. A 2011 study of the 4½-acre cemetery mapped 393 remaining headstones, "but there's probably more than a thousand burials here," Lawrence said.
This dig uncovered a broken headstone just below the surface of the grass.
The current St. Francis Xavier Church was built in 1731 and is about a half-mile south of the cemetery and original chapel site. The 1662 chapel was gone by 1719, past research had found.
The original chapel site is an exceptional find for archaeologists because it was never plowed for farming, so the soil was never disturbed. In Maryland "almost everything opened has been farmed," Lawrence said.
The Society of Jesus order bought 850 acres at the Newtowne Neck peninsula in 1668 for 40,000 pounds of tobacco and farmed most of the land for generations.
In 2009, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources bought 790 acres around St. Francis Xavier from the Roman Catholic Clergy for $14 million as part of a larger land purchase.
Newtowne Neck State Park remains closed to the public after World War II-era munitions were found along the beach in January 2012.
