ETSU Football Falls to No. 25 NC State In Season Opener
Saturday, August 31, 2002Raleigh, N.C. (August 31, 2002) -- Offense was scarce for the East Tennessee State football team on Saturday night as head coach Paul Hamilton's Buccaneers (0-1) were held scoreless in a 34-0 loss to No. 25 North Carolina State (2-0) at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh. ETSU quarterback Jatavis Sanders (Stone Mountain, Ga.), a former NC State transfer, struggled against the Wolfpack's swarming defense. Sanders completed just one pass in 10 attempts for a mere 11 yards. Fellow QB Dashannon Gamble (Ladson, S.C.) had less fortune moving the ball, instead giving it up twice on a pair of interceptions in three passing attempts. But Sanders and Gamble were not the only ones who struggled on the offensive end -- the Bucs as a team managed only 81 yards of total offense compared to 370 by NC State. Sanders was the team's leading rusher with 46 yards on 11 carries. Junior Nick Spearman (Summerville, S.C.) was the team's second leading ball carrier, averaging 4.5 yards per rush for a modest 18 yards and recorded the team's only reception on an eleven-yard completion by Sanders. The Buccaneers, which returned all 11 starters on the defensive side of the ball, held NC State quarterback Phillip Rivers in check most of the evening. Rivers, who was picked off by sophomore and honorable mention All-America selection Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.) in the first half, accumulated 144 yards in the air on 11 of 13 passing under rainy conditions. Much of the Wolfpack's progress came on the ground as the hosts rushed for 190 total yards, including four touchdowns. NC State tailback Gregory Golden carried the ball seven times for 65 yards and found the endzone twice on three- and 14-yard scampers. Things weren't going well for ETSU from the opening kickoff, when Lamont Reid returned the kick 90 yards for a touchdown to give the Wolfpack an early 7-0 lead. NC State held the Bucs to just 35 yards on 36 plays in the first half and extended their lead to 21-0 at halftime. East Tennessee State will be happy to return home for next Saturday's contest, when the Bucs will play host to the Mars Hill Mountain Lions. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Memorial Center with tailgating festivities beginning at 3 p.m.

Submission + - Russian IC Maker Asks for Import Ban on 90nm Chips->
eldavojohn writes: In Septemeber, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will decide on Sistema's request that Russia bans imports of 90 nm ICs for use in televisions, Glonass/GPS units, industrial automation systems, automotive electronics and cellphones. Sistema ('which owns businesses that operate in the IT, telecoms, banking, house building and oil sectors') has been lobbying through the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies to remove the threat of imported competition once its new 90nm process plant is up and running.

Don't you dare call Mitt Romney the front-runner.
Sure, he's got the money, the organization, the best-selling book, and the hair. In national polls of possible candidates for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, Romney is at or near the top. Perhaps most important, he has run before. Paid his dues. Been to the rodeo.
Ask anybody: If there is a front-runner in the race, it's Romney. Of the other potential contenders who could be labeled as leading the pack, Sarah Palin is too divisive, the thinking goes, while Mike Huckabee can't put enough money together. (By the way, does a guy planning to take a weeklong cruise to Alaska in June act like he's running for president?)
Yet in the same Romney-is-the-front-runner breath comes this: It's too early to make predictions. The race is totally fluid. Anything can happen.
In other words, Romney is the front-runner for a nomination that nobody assumes he'll win.
No need to ask why. His problems are well documented. Fiscal conservatives cringe at parallels between the former governor's health care program in Massachusetts and President Obama's federal plan. Social conservatives wince at Romney's flip-flops on abortion, gun control, immigration, and gay rights, and, privately, at his Mormonism.
All of which make Romney a very different kind of Republican front-runner. He's not a commanding leader of the pack like Ronald Reagan in 1980, who could afford to sit out straw polls and candidate forums. He's not George H.W. Bush, a sitting vice president climbing atop the ticket in 1988. He's not Bob Dole, the GOP's elder statesman, making his third bid for the presidency in 1996. He's not the financial and organizational juggernaut that was George W. Bush in 2000.
Romney stands on the precipice of the race looking more like one of the equivocal Democratic front-runners of the 1980s—say, Gary Hart before the Monkey Business episode—a candidate whose strengths appear almost evenly matched by his weaknesses. Republicans share a widespread sense that the 2012 race has been unusually long in taking shape. That may be largely because no one can quite figure out whether they believe the man nominally at the head of the line can defend that position once voters weigh in.
"The prevailing theme for this cycle is, 'Who will be the last man standing?' " said GOP strategist Alex Castellanos, a top Romney adviser in 2008. "Nobody wants to set themselves up as a target for the media and their opponents, especially if you've been around the track before. Let the other guy step to the front of the line."
A strong case can be made for Romney's candidacy—when he's ready to start making it. The team behind Romney's Massachusetts-based political action committee, Free and Strong America, says little on the record these days. I took them up on a vague lunch invitation, flying from Washington to Boston just for the day, and was politely asked to put my notebook away.
Campaign operatives frequently try to talk reporters into stories or out of them. The Romney team, for now, is curiously low-key.
"I'm not interested in ginning up 2012 stories," said Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney's traveling press secretary for the 2008 campaign and a former newspaper reporter. "The big lesson we learned from last time was that we got started too early. We're in no hurry to announce our plans."
Sitting next to Fehrnstrom at a trendy downtown restaurant was Matt Rhoades, Romney's former communications director, who had even less to say. Rhoades was a spokesman for the Republican National Committee and research director for President Bush's reelection in 2004. Pressed repeatedly to talk about the shape of the race, Rhoades deferred to Fehrnstrom: "There is no race. There are no candidates. How can you know who the front-runner is?"
Indeed, the most recent Gallup Poll shows a statistical tie between Huckabee at 18 percent and Romney and Palin at 16 percent apiece. A dozen other potential candidates logged single-digit ratings. Herman Cain, a former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, is the only relatively prominent Republican officially in the race.
"I can't remember a time in Republican politics when the field was this wide open," said Bill Whalen, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
Even as he delays an official campaign launch, Romney is working diligently to court donors (he raised $6.3 million in his state and federal accounts last year), map out a campaign strategy, and sculpt his image. In one recent week, he made an unannounced stop at a NASCAR race wearing a sportsman's fishing shirt; penned a National Review column assailing Obama's policy toward Israel; and sent a $5,000 donation from his PAC to the Wisconsin GOP to show support for Gov. Scott Walker's standoff with public-employee unions.

Lindsey Vonn has announced with delight that she will stay with HEAD. Vonn shares a common goal with HEAD and declared that she will be staying with her ski and boot supplier for the next ten years. Vonn, who won the Overall and three discipline globes last season believes that the HEAD family is the best way forward for her to achieve her career goals: To keep winning.
Vonn is the stellar star on the Women's FIS Alpine World Cup Tour and has been with HEAD since 2009. In these past years the records have tumbled: 31 World Cup wins on HEAD skis; 2 World Championship Gold medals and a Gold at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games – not forgetting the record of the most points by a female racer in one season in 2011/12, 1980 points. The records speak for themselves in why she wants to stay with the most successful brand on the FIS Alpine World Cup last season.
The new contract with Vonn should mean that she remains on HEAD equipment for the remainder of her active racing career.
Last season was a fantastic season for the 28 year old American and as she sets herself new targets and new goals, her aspirations and hopes continue to match those of HEAD: To be the best!

It extended over two floors and was richly decorated with murals by Wilhelm Krogh on the ceiling and walls. Many festive parties and balls took place here in the Kristiania of old, and they still do. The parties are just as grand in the Rococo Room of today, even though it decor was altered somewhat after a fire in 1957.

For those of us on the East Coast, the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 is still present and fresh on our minds. And most recently, persistent flooding in the Midwest has wreaked havoc on the lives of humans and pets alike. It's important for pet parents in all parts of the country to be prepared to act in the face of a disaster—and that includes having an emergency plan in place for your pets.
That's one of the reasons why we joined FEMA to recognize May 8 as National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day. We hope you'll take this opportunity to learn more about the ways you can keep your furry friends safe in an emergency. Here are a few easy steps you can take:
1. Have a Plan. Your "all-family" plan needs to include how you will transport your animals in an evacuation, possible routes you will take and your destination/sheltering options. Practice that plan at least yearly and share it with your family and friends.
2. Build a Kit. Don't forget a photo of your pet, medical records, vaccination records, and any special food or prescriptions.
3. Stay Informed. Keep an eye on the weather, follow a projected storm's path and don't get caught unprepared. Staying informed also means knowing which shelters house both people and pets, monitoring possible road closures and having alternate travel plans.
4. Know Your Neighbors. It's best to form a relationship with your neighbors well in advance of a disaster situation.Develop a telephone tree and determine who is home and when. If a disaster occurs while you're at work, your neighbor may be the only one who can reach your pets.
5. Vaccinate and Microchip. If you're ever required to shelter your pets, you'll want them protected against disease. And the single most important piece of advice we can offer is to microchip your pets. It is truly their ticket home.
Please visit our full list of disaster preparedness tips for more information.

He wanted to put the word out that he is making a trip to FL to visit his fish and plant suppliers, and if anyone in the area was looking something specific, to give him a call or stop by and he will do his best to see if he can get what you are looking for.

About This Months Program:
June 2013 Program Setting Keeping and Husbandry for Freshwater Stingray:
This month, JRAS club member and lecturer/entrepreneur Rama Sabbakhan of Skoolz of Fish will convey to us his expertise with Freshwater Stingrays, an increasingly popular fish being kept in aquaria, especially over the last 15 years. Ram will contribute to the growing knowledge of stingray husbandry and breeding requirements for these interesting, intelligent, and beautiful fish that can now thrive and reproduce in aquariums
Rama plans on sharing his knowledge about the different types of freshwater sting rays, compatibility with each other and various other tank mates, size and growth, foods eaten, supply, cost and how to successfully set up and keep these interesting animals in home aquaria.
In addition to husbandry topics, Rama will also present information on conservation, legislation affecting stingrays, tank construction and design. It is our hope that this program will answer many of your questions regarding freshwater stingrays, and will also encourage you to appreciate the need for conservation, captive breeding, and responsibility.

Future Programs / Looking Ahead
For those of you who like to plan ahead, most of our coming meetings will be held at 7:30 PM at this VDGIF's HQ boardroom location on the following dates unless otherwise notified:
Our July 24th monthly meeting program will be John Harris, Fisheries Biologist with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries presenting on Virginia Native Fish, Virginia Native Fish that can be kept in Aquaria, and the laws pertinent to and procedure for setting up our own JRAS Native Fish Collection Field Trip in the Central Virginia area. (This meeting At DGIF)
Our August 28th monthly meeting will be a field trip to one of our newest members home/pond in Goochland County. Jose Oseguera, (a Fisheries Management expert from Humboldt State University, California) and owner of PetsPonds, Inc. will give a presentation on Koi Pond Building, husbandry, costs, etc. at his one acre Koi Pond. As an aside, Jose will also show us his extensive collection of turtles as he owns more than 130 different turtles and is very active in herpetology! The Oseguera family just moved to Richmond from California. Join us in welcoming Jose and his family to the Richmond area!
(This meeting will be offsite at Joses home and pond in Goochland County- location information to follow.)
Other programs for September 25, October 23, and November 27 are: 1) Barbs, 2) Tetras, 3) Aquascaping.
About This Months (First) Plant Swap:
Victor Hyland, our JRAS Native Fish Collection Committee Chair, is also an aficionado of fine aquarium plants. (There are quite a few of us in JRAS that are plant enthusiasts.) Victor thought that getting a disparate group encompassing several local clubs for a plant swap prior to our official JRAS program would be worth trying as a pilot test.
We are, thus, formally inviting anyone interested in a group PLANT SWAP to join us just prior to the start of our JRAS meeting this coming Wednesday, June 26th, at 7:30. Victor will have us all introduce one another / swap plants. Make sure that you bring as much detail on the plants that you wish to swap as possible. Victor Hyland will lead this swap session and send out more details. (Note: We will still have our usual end-of-meeting Auction.)
About This Months Auction:
As always, dont forget to bring your donation items for the auction or as raffle items, if you have any to spare, and let us know what items you might be interested in obtaining. Should anyone like to auction an item, bring your spare plants, fish, fish food, or hard goods that you would like to donate. Thus far, we have had all profits go to JRAS to pay for internal organization cost, speaker fees, etc.
Last month we had about 8 pieces in the auction, mostly plants and, snail specie. Each month the items change. Lee Shadbolt is our official auctioneer. Special thanks, again, to David Sombach / JRAS, Keith Howe of Azalea Aquarium, and Rama Sabbakhan of Skoolzoffish, and Larry Jinks, of the Raleigh Aquarium Society (especially) for donated items.
Research on Stingrays:
1) Stingrays
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Stingrays are a group of rays, which are cartilaginous fishes related to sharks. They are classified in the suborder Myliobatoidei of the order Myliobatiformes, and consist of eight families: Hexatrygonidae(sixgill stingray), Plesiobatidae (deep water stingray), Urolophidae (stingarees), Urotrygonidae (round rays), Dasyatidae (whiptail stingrays), Potamotrygonidae (river stingrays), Gymnuridae (butterfly rays), and Myliobatidae (eagle rays).[1][2]
Most stingrays have one or more barbed stings (modified from dermal denticles) on the tail, which are used exclusively in self-defense. The stinger may reach a length of approximately 35 cm (14 in), and its underside has two grooves with venom glands.[3] The stinger is covered with a thin layer of skin, the integumentary sheath, in which the venom is concentrated.[4] A few members of the suborder, such as themanta rays and the porcupine ray, do not have stingers.[5]
Stingrays are common in coastal tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world, and also includes species found in warmer temperate oceans, such as Dasyatis thetidis, and those found in the deep ocean, such as Plesiobatis daviesi. The river stingrays, and a number of whiptail stingrays (such as the Niger stingray), are restricted to fresh water. Most myliobatoids are demersal, but some, such as the pelagic stingray and the eagle rays, are pelagic.[6]
While most stingrays are relatively widespread and not currently threatened, for several species (for example Taeniura meyeni, D. colarensis, D. garouaensis, and D. laosensis), the conservation status is more problematic, leading to them being listed as vulnerable or endangered by IUCN. The status of several other species are poorly known, leading to them being listed as Data Deficient.[7]
A stingray's underside shows its mouth and the ventral gill slits. The pair of claspers (at the base of the tail) identifies it as male.
The flattened bodies of stingrays allow them to effectively conceal themselves in their environment. Stingrays do this by agitating the sand and hiding beneath it. Because their eyes are on top of their bodies and their mouths on the undersides, stingrays cannot see their prey; instead, they use smell and electro receptors (ampullae of Lorenzini) similar to those of sharks.[8] Stingrays feed primarily on molluscs, crustaceans, and occasionally on small fish. Some stingrays' mouths contain two powerful, shell-crushing plates, while other species only have sucking mouthparts. Stingrays settle on the bottom while feeding, often leaving only their eyes and tail visible. Coral reefs are favorite feeding grounds and are usually shared with sharks during high tide.[9]
When a male is courting a female, he will follow her closely, biting at her pectoral disc. He then places one of his two claspers into her valve.[10]
Stingrays are ovoviviparous, bearing live young in "litters" of five to 13. The female holds the embryos in the womb without a placenta. Instead, the embryos absorb nutrients from a yolk sac, and after the sac is depleted, the mother provides uterine "milk".[11]
At the Sea Life London Aquarium, two female stingrays have delivered seven baby stingrays, although the mothers have not been near a male for two years. "Rays have been known to store sperm and not give birth until they decide the timing is right".[12]
Stingray injuries
Main article: Stingray injury
A stingray's stinger (ruler in cm)
Stingrays do not aggressively attack humans, though stings do normally occur if a ray is accidentally stepped on.[13] To avoid stepping on a stingray in shallow water, the water should be waded through with a shuffle.[14] Alternatively, before wading, stones can be thrown into the water to scare stingrays away.[15]Contact with the stinger causes local trauma (from the cut itself), pain, swelling, muscle cramps from the venom, and later may result in infection from bacteria or fungus.[16] The injury is very painful, but seldom life-threatening unless the stinger pierces a vital area.[13] The barb usually breaks off in the wound, and surgery may be required to remove the fragments.[17]
As food
Rays are edible, and may be caught as food using fishing lines or spears.[18] Stingray recipes abound throughout the world, with dried forms of the wings being most common. For example, in Singapore and Malaysia, stingray is commonly grilled over charcoal, then served with spicy sambal sauce. Generally, the most prized parts of the stingray are the wings (flaps is the proper terminology), the "cheek" (the area surrounding the eyes), and the liver. The rest of the ray is considered too rubbery to have any culinary uses.[19]
While not independently valuable as a food source, the stingray's capacity to damage shell fishing grounds can lead to bounties being placed on their removal.[20]
Southern stingray
Stingrays are usually very docile and curious, their usual reaction being to flee any disturbance, but they will sometimes brush their fins past any new object they encounter. Nevertheless, certain larger species may be more aggressive and should be approached with caution, as the stingray's defensive reflex (use of its poisoned stinger) may result in serious injury or death.[21]
Dasyatids are not normally visible to swimmers, but divers and snorkelers may find them in shallow, sandy waters, more so when the water is warm. In the Cayman Islands several dive sites called Stingray City, Grand Cayman, allow divers and snorkelers to swim with large southern stingrays (D. americana) and feed them by hand.[22] A "Stingray City" in the sea surrounding the Caribbean island of Antiguaconsists of a large, shallow reserve where the rays live, and snorkeling is possible, since the rays are used to the presence of humans.[23]
In Belize, off the island of Ambergris Caye, there is a popular marine sanctuary, Hol Chan, where divers and snorkelers often gather to watch stingrays and nurse sharks drawn to the area by tour operators who feed the animals.
Many Tahitian island resorts regularly offer guests the chance to "feed the stingrays and sharks". This consists of taking a boat to the outer lagoon reefs, then standing in waist-high water while habituated stingrays swarm around, pressing right up against tourists seeking food from their hands or that being tossed into the water. The boat owners also "call in" sharks, which, when they arrive from the ocean, swoop through the shallow water above the reef and snatch food offered to them.[24]
Other uses
The skin of the ray (same in Japanese) is used as an under layer for the cord or leather wrap (known as ito in Japanese) on Japanese swords due to its hard, rough, skin texture that keeps the braided wrap from sliding on the handle during use. They are also used to make exotic shoes, boots, belts, wallets, jackets, and cellphone cases.[25]
Several ethnological sections in museums,[26] such as the British Museum, display arrowheads and spearheads made of stingray stingers, used in Micronesia and elsewhere.[27] Henry de Monfreid stated in his books that before World War II, in the Horn of Africa, whips were made from the tail of big stingrays, and these devices inflicted cruel cuts, so in Aden the British forbade their use on women and slaves. In former Spanish colonies, a stingray is called raya látigo ("whip ray").[28]
Monfreid also wrote in several places about men of his crew suffering stingray wounds while standing and wading into Red Sea shallows to load or unload smuggled wares: he wrote that to "save the man's life", searing the wound with a red-hot iron was necessary.[29]
Barbecued stingray is commonly served in Singapore and Malaysia
Stingray City in Grand Cayman allows swimmers, snorkelers, and divers to swim with and feed the stingrays
Early Eocene fossil stingray Heliobatis radians
Stingray in shallows
Although stingray teeth are rare on sea bottoms compared to the similar shark teeth, scuba divers searching for the latter do encounter the teeth of stingrays. Permineralized stingray teeth have been found in sedimentary deposits around the world, including fossiliferous outcrops in Morocco.[30]
2) New species of dwarf freshwater stingray described
http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/c ... p?sid=3954
The dwarf freshwater stingray commonly known as the Black tailed antenna ray in the aquarium trade has finally been formally named in a recent issue of the journal Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia.
Marcelo Carvalho and Maíra Ragno name the new stingray from the upper and middle Amazon River drainage Plesiotrygon nana, after its small adult size (Latin nanus=dwarf).
Plesiotrygon nana differs from its only congener, P. iwamae, in a number of ways, including having the dorsal surface of the disc with highly convoluted yellowish lines or small spots composed into very fine rosettes or a combination of spots and irregular ocelli, a circular disc, a broadly rounded snout, very small and less rhomboidal spiracles, a short snout and a narrow mouth and nostrils.
In addition, the denticles on the dorsal surface of the tail are small, scattered, and not forming a row of enlarged spines, it has significantly fewer tooth rows in adult and preadult fish, fewer caudal vertebrae, and a higher number of pectoral radials.
This species also has a very small adult size, probably not surpassing 25cm/10" disc length or width.
For more information, see the paper: de Carvalho, MR and MP Ragno (2011) An unusual, dwarf new species of Neotropical freshwater stingray, Plesiotrygon nana sp. nov., from the upper and mid Amazon basin: the second species of Plesiotrygon (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygonidae). Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia 51, pp. 101138.

Thanks for sharing your newsletter, Amp2020! Just wondering, but is there any specifications to join that mailing list? I'm curious because I Google'd the JRAS and nothing substantial came up, but I'd like to receive it if possible. Also, you reminded me that I forgot about this thread lol.
I did go to Skoolz of Fish on the 3rd. Everything about that store was a positive experience. It was a little hairy to get to the location because it's off of Chamberlayne, but well worth the drive to the city. I pulled up and the owner was blasting metal music (a plus in my book) as he was putting together some tanks. He was friendly, although I wish I had stayed and talked more to him. He really does have the best selection of fish that I've ever seen in this part of VA. Unfortunately, I decided not to buy any fish from him that day because my tanks weren't ready. However, I intend on talking to him about getting some Scarlet Badis or Apisto pairs in the future. He's also really responsive on the SoF Facebook page if anyone has any questions, especially about his stock, before they drive there. Also, he has more than just fish. He has a variety of plants to choose from, as well as some wood, rocks, and substrate. Overall, if you're an aquarium enthusiast in central VA, this place is a must go.

Finally made it out there. His hours are a bit funky, but otherwise probably the best Freshwater livestock dealer in the area. Only thing I wish he had a better selection of live plants and the ones he has were in better health, but as far as fish go, definitely my first choice.

Very stiff and uncomfortable
"The leather on these shoes is very stiff. The top of the boot hits right around the ankle bone, and the tough leather doesn't have much give. I'm not sure it would ever soften. These may be the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever tried on. On the upside, the delivery of the shoes was quick and return to the store was easy."

Fantastic Shoes
"These are great weekend shoes for my husband. I added extra insoles since he has flat feet. He has been happy with them so far!"

"I've been wearing Clarks for 10+ years; Wallabees, Desert Treks, Desert Boot, Bushacre, and other non-Originals. Although the crepe sole on the Desert Boot is extremely comfortable and grippy, the Busacres are just as comfortable. And, being that they cost less and have inner linings on the sole and ankle, I now prefer Bushacres. The dark brown looks just like Clarks' 'beeswax', and the proper toe box is what you would expect from Clarks. With all that said, I am a Clarks-lifer, fo sho tho."

The name Kris Markovich is always assimilated with dominant street skating. However, he is also an extremely well-known and talented artist. Like his skating, Kris' art is raw, pure, and an extension of his personality. Kris joined Flow to put his artistic touch on the Verve and Velvet model. Needless to say, the project was a success.
Kris' Story:
Skateboarding and Art
From his humble beginnings in Florida, Kris was always drawn to things that involved creativity. While his other friends were surfing, Kris chose to skate. This was due mainly to his parents forbidding him to go to the beach without their supervision. Yet Kris made the best out of the situation and was immediately hooked on skateboarding. Kris' love for art soon followed. Kris viewed art and skateboarding as an extension of his creativity. The two went hand-in-hand as Kris would customize his skate decks with his own artistic expression. Both Art and Skateboarding became the ultimate release of self-expression and creativity for Kris.
Kris and Flow:
Flow's Contributing Artist Program
When Flow created their Contributing Artist Program, it was a no-brainer to include Kris Markovich. Flow has been a fan of both Kris' skateboarding and art for years. The style and function of the Verve and Velvet mirrored the style of Kris and his art. The smooth, mellow, and skatey feel of both the models were a perfect match for Kris' art. The Verve and Velvet are favorites of Flow riders and highly recommended.

Books come in all shapes, forms and genres. We all have our preferences, but I've always believed there is a reader somewhere for every book. KT Grant is here today to tell us about an annual event on her blog that includes many readers.
Hello all! Katiebabs here and Barbara has kindly let take over a spot at Beyond Her Book to announce the 2013 Lesbian Fiction Appreciation Event on my blog, Babbling about Books, and More!
Last year I did this event for the first time as my way to promote Lesbian literature and the authors who write this genre and the publishers who publish it. My goal with this event is to show that Lesbian Literature does have a big audience, and those who write it and publish it are successful at it. As an author of Lesbian romance writing as KT Grant, I'm proof that Lesbian Literature does sell well. Out of all the genres I write, and I also write straight romance as well as M/M (Gay) romance, my lesbian titles sell amazingly. I feel Lesbian literature is on the rise and has a big fan base. Getting the word out is the most important thing. That's why I host the Lesbian Fiction Appreciation Event and hope to do so for years to come.
Please join me from 1/6/13 to 1/19/13 where I'll have an excellent line up of authors from multiple Lambda Literary Award winner and publisher, Radclyffe, Paisley Smith and Debra Hyde, the 2011 Lambda Literary Award Winner in Lesbian Erotica. Also publishers seeking more Lesbian fiction from Storm, Moon Press, Bold Strokes Books and Lady Day Publishing will be stopping by. There will be many more guests who love the Lesbian genre. Expect books giveaways, wonderful discussion and dialogue about a genre that deserves to be noticed and respected.
Hope to see you there!

The Sonics are an American garage rock band from Tacoma, Washington, originating from the early and mid-1960s. Among The Sonics'' contemporaries were The Kingsmen, The Wailers, The Dynamics, The Regents, and Paul Revere & the Raiders. This movement is credited with founding Seattle''s music scene which survives to the present.[citation needed] The songs that the band played were a mixture of garage rock standards ("Louie, Louie", "Have Love, Will Travel"), early rock and roll ("Jenny, Jenny", "Skinny Minnie") and original compositions such as "Strychnine", "Psycho", and "The Witch", all based upon simple chord sequences, played hard and fast. The lyrics of The Sonics'' original material dealt with early ''60s teenage culture: cars, guitars, surfing, and girls (in songs like "The Hustler", "Boss Hoss" and "Maintaining My Cool") alongside darker subject matter such as drinking strychnine for kicks, witches, psychopaths, and Satan (in the songs "Strychnine", "The Witch", "Psycho", and "He''s Waitin''", respectively).

University of Missouri - Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field
This panorama, taken by James Blakeway, spotlights a blaze of gold as the University of Missouri Tigers crushed their second consecutive ranked opponent for the first time since 1976. Playing on home turf, the Tigers defeated the Florida Gators with a final score of 36-17. The storied history of Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field, also known as "The Zou," dates back to its opening in 1926. Today, fans enjoy the many changes to the stadium that have occurred, including an expansion to the north concourse area and moving the hill closer to the field. In the process, the Rock M was safely stored and reconstructed to maintain the important historical landmark that Tiger fans have grown to love.

Dada Tickets - Not Like the Police, But Close!That was the '90s for you: all about imitation. However, back in 1990 when a little-known band called Dada came out and was labeled to be 'a lot like the Police,' there was a wonder if this band was ever going to get big. Believe it or not, the band made it big.
Dada Tickets - The Music of DadaTheir debut album was called Puzzle, and it was released in 1992. That's the puzzling part of all of it, too -- in that it was merely an updated version of the guitar pop sound originally innovated by the revolutionary Police in the '80s. Still, the single 'Dizz Knee Land' really made it big for Dada, and it prompted another album release: American Highway Flower in 1994. 1996 saw the release of El Subliminoso as well as a self-titled LP in 1998.
Dada Tickets - The Sound of DadaLike the Police, they epitomized that poppy guitar sound that was so prevalent in the '80s -- except they did it in the '90s! Bad thing? Probably not. This is the music industry, after all, and we love all the throwbacks. Except that Dada was definitely not a throwback. They just loved that type of music and played it well. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Lakes basin. The Network was formed in December 2002 under the guidance of
the Binational Executive Committee (BEC), a body comprised of senior
Canadian and U.S. officials, to create a forum or mechanism to discuss
human health issues directly related to Great Lakes water quality. The
Network addresses health issues related to the ecosystem of the Great
Lakes basin, including drinking water and recreational water quality, and
fish consumption.
The Network is a voluntary partnership of representatives of both US and Canadian governments and their agencies whose purpose is to exchange information, facilitate communication and support the coordination of public health and environmental agencies. Network members will be able to return to their organizations and relay shared information to the communities they serve. The network is also designed to support the LaMP and Remedial Action Plan (RAP) process. Currently, the Network has representatives from six federal government agencies, five tribal government agencies, and eleven state and provincial government agencies, and one county government agency. Network membership continues to build.

Why Should We be "Boxed In" by the Constitution and Laws of the United States?
Marty Lederman
In today's Wall Street Journal, Judge Richard Posner laments the fact that the federal courts are available to adjudicate whether the President's chosen methods of fighting the war on terror are consistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States. (Thanks to Howard Bashman for the link.)
Still, one has to wonder when the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transfers cases to a judge in California because "significantly more advanced action is pending before a judge already well versed in the issues," when this judge does not have the security clearance needed to view all the evidence. There were other Federal Judges in DC who had the necessary clearance to handle the case. So the cases will be consolidated, then deadlock, and years will be wasted waiting for appeals to be resolved to determine what the judge can see, how the evidence must be handled, and other matters, just because one plaintiff chose a particular venue and beat everyone else in the race to file the first case.
Whatever you may think of the rest of Specter's bill, there is something awfully sensible about transferring just the classified part of a case to a court that can resolve a single item of fact or law and then transfer the case back to the original District. If you insist on preserving the current Judicial Lottery and Rush to File First system, then some specialization in the middle of a trial is a useful innovation.
A good, solid contender for the stupidest thing Posner has ever written.
Strange, isn't it, that power to legislate on national-security issues is given to 535 members of Congress not chosen for their knowledge of national security?
For that matter, I missed when Bush had to pass a quiz on "National Security Knowledge" to qualify for the presidency.
The OBVIOUS PROBLEM with Posner's let's-trust-the-experts gibberish is that the "experts" don't decide, under his preferred scenario. An elected politician and his cronies decide. As opposed to splitting the decision amongst enough politicians and cronies to make blatant corruption a *little* harder to hid.
All the posts here concerning the Taylor ruling have been excellent. I try to disseminate them to non-blog readers as much as possible. It is really quite amazing the kinds of impressions people are getting from just reading the news or, worse, watching it on television. The collective eye is nowhere near the ball on this one. Clarification is badly needed. Thanks.
There is an argument for these type of cases to be handled by specialized courts, as is done through FISA. Judge Taylor was clearly out of her depth in handling the wiretapping case. Also, a specialized court would minimize the risk of sensative information leakig. If the only courts that could possibly hear these type of cases is a FISA-type panel and the Supreme Court, many of the president's concerns would be met.
The only issue left is whether and to what extent courts should defer to the executive. Such a concept of deference, however, is certainly not from the founding of the nation, but instead a more modern concept. The case Bas v. Tingy, 4 US (4 Dall.) 37 (1800), probably the first case that could have dealt these issues, shows absolutely no concept of deferrence, but instead approached the questions presented under ordinary legal guidelines
Just projecting ahead a few years and trying to imagine the nature of the Senate battles over confirmation of judges to the single federal court permitted to hear and decide all issues touching on national security.
What a great political solution! The Senate goes immediately to the "nuclear option" to try to force through a panel hand-picked for their "deference" to a promised executive power grab.
Alternatively, of course, we could fill out the panel the way we do with the FISC, delegating the first round of the job to the hand-picked Chief of the very president whose executive power grab the new panel is supposed to pass on. In secret, no less.
I suppose this is what happens when you confide so momentous a political question to a branch not only not chosen for its knowledge of how such settlements are reached, but which studiously avoids analyzing them once they are.
If the only courts that could possibly hear these type of cases is a FISA-type panel and the Supreme Court, many of the president's concerns would be met.
To the best of my knowledge, FISA judges are not appointed because they possess any special expertise in "national security matters" (whatever that might be). They are just judges.
Posner's argument proves far too much. Most judges are not experts in criminal procedure or estates or community property or patent law, etc. The whole system would collapse if we demanded that (to say nothing of the fact that expertise is infinitely divisible).
I often diagree here, but the last poster had a good point - Federal District judges are often almost illiterate in many of the areas in which they have to rule, and, yet, they muddle through. My experience here is with IP cases, where the judges are often clueless. But that is likely no different in many other arcane areas of the law.
I would only disagree in that, while not expert, I expect that almost all District Court judges have a much better understanding of criminal procedure, given that they have to deal with it on a routine basis, as opposed to national security, IP, etc. Part of this comes from having a state District Court judge teach my Crim Pro class when I was in law school - he had seen it all in 10 years on the bench, and knew more criminal procedure than most attorneys practicing criminal law. Federal judges don't obviusly see the volume of criminal cases that state judges do, but I still suspect most of them see a lot more of it than they would like.
Umm.... federal judges don't need a security clearance to decide cases before them. There's something called Article III confirmation by the Senate that seems to take care of that. They have methods to deal with classified information, but there's no SF-86 they need to fill out to be "approved" for access by an executive-branch lackey. Them being a co-equal branch and all...
While Mark is correct in saying that a judge on a FISA court has no special expertise prior to becoming such a judge, the "on-the-job training" of being such a judge gives these judges the needed expertise to handle these matters in areas other than warrants, etc.
On the one hand, I think you may be misreading Judge Posner a bit. He does not claim that the Hamdan court ruled on Constitutional grounds; he only states that "The Hamdan decision suggests that a majority, albeit a bare majority, of the court is unsympathetic to arguments that our understanding of certain provisions of the Constitution needs to be revised to meet contemporary needs."
In my view -- and that of numerous commentators -- the Hamdan decision does "suggest" that a majority of the SCT is not receptive to the idea that the President's Article II war-time powers should be expanded from the limits previously suggested by Youngstown and other cases. And thank God for that!
This quibble aside, Judge Posner's editorial is frightening. I would far rather have some purportedly "humble" and "ignorant" District Court judge pass on the legality of the executive branch's actions -- as the Constitution and the founders so wisely intended -- than have those within the Administration (Gonzales, anyone?) or the purportedly "wise" and "experienced" members of the Congress (Senator Inhofe? Senator Brownback? Senator Robertson? and lets' not even discuss House members) pass on those actions without judicial oversight by those not dependent on the whims of the electorate (which would repeal the Constitution in a flash if it ever came up for a vote).
the "on-the-job training" of being such a judge gives these judges the needed expertise to handle these matters in areas other than warrants, etc.
No doubt they'll develop expertise after they sit for a while, just as they do with criminal procedure (as Bruce pointed out). I'm not sure this solves Judge Posner's "problem", since any particular judge would have to hear cases before actually having such expertise.
In any case, the same could be said for virtually any aspect of the law in these days of specialty practices. In my experience, judges who come to the bench with a criminal law background need a good deal of help with civil matters and vice versa. That's just on the procedure -- it sure would help if they were experts on substantive topics like antitrust, IP, RICO, etc., instead of having to be educated by the attorneys. If we demand such expertise, however, there's almost no limit to how many judges we'd need.
As was pointed out in response to Brian Tamanaha's post above, there's value in having "outsiders" approach these problems, especially in cases where values tradeoffs -- liberty versus security -- predominate. Insiders can become all too incestuous.
Its wrong to assume that expertize is desirable in a judge deciding a controversy before him or her. We want the judge to decide the case based on the arguments, facts and expert opinions that are presented to him or her by the parties. A judge with expertise threatens to be a witness that neither party gets to cross-examine, or even hear testify. That's not a good thing.

So should we just abolish bankruptcy courts and the Federal Circuit? Heck, what's the point of administrative courts, such as the tax courts, then?
I understand that expertise in a court might not be a good thing in some cases. The arguments against it here, however, are overly broad and don't determine when a specialized court is or is not a preferable option.

The words "Its wrong to assume.." were very important to my comment. In the opening paragraph of his commentary, Judge Posner remarks on the "strangeness of confiding so momentous an issue of national security" to a judiciary that is "not chosen for their knowledge of national security." Imbedded in this criticism is the assumption that having a controversy decided by a judge with expertise over the subject matter is preferable. Responses here seem to accept that assumption and respond to the criticism with arguments about how judges may develop expertise. My point is that it is wrong to accept the initial assumption without analysis.
I don't think I suggested in my comment that we never want a judge to have expertise. However, there are very good reasons -- namely, the ones that I mention in my prior comment -- for why having an expert judge is the exception and not the rule.
I can understand the justification for having a dedicated court -- like the FISA court -- in order to control sensitive information. That, however, is different than having expert judges. As another commentator has mentioned, the FISA judges are not chosen for any special knowledge of national security.
The justification for having expert judges, though, -- i.e., judges with special knowledge of national security -- seems less obvious to me. The judges in these cases will have to balance national security interests against individual rights. A judge with a background that affords special knowledge of national security is likely to have a pre-existing bias in favor of national security interests. I think I prefer to have the government's case tested by the adversary system unbiased.
Maybe I am wrong, but the assumption that expert judges would be better shouldn't pass untested.
