- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
Tractors paraded around the parking lot of the Charles County government building Tuesday night, signaling the support of the farmers who owned them for a land use plan they think will preserve the value of their land.
But inside the La Plata hearing room, the plan's opponents outnumbered its supporters more than 2-to-1, with those speakers citing the cost of new infrastructure and damage to the environment as they urged the county commissioners to preserve land and slow development.
At the end of the hearing, the commissioners deferred for 10 days any action on the draft "tier map," keeping the record open for people to submit comments in writing.
The map, drafted as required by the Sustainable Growth and Agricultural Preservation Act of 2012 —the "septic bill" — divides all land in the county into four tiers based on septic system and sewer use. It also bans the building of large subdivisions in areas designated for conservation.
The draft map has been controversial because the Charles County Planning Commission rejected a proposal made by county planning staff, adopting instead one drafted by the Balanced Growth Initiative, which calls itself a "property rights" group and includes developers, real estate agents and farmers. The BGI map designates 65,000 fewer acres, generally fields and forest, for conservation than the staff proposal. The change preserves landowners' ability to build subdivisions on the land.
The county commissioners can agree with the planning commission or change the map, which is already late, having been due to Maryland agencies by the end of 2012.
Preventing the development of farmland could threaten the family farm, said Karen Anderson, owner of a Bel Alton horse farm and one of almost 90 speakers at the hearing.
"I purchased my farm just a little bit more than a decade ago with the intent that I would be able to leave a legacy to my kids. It was really important to me, as a single mom, to be able to purchase that farm and leave something to my children where they could build their homes, and hopefully their children would want to stay and build their homes and work the farm," she said.
Her position was espoused by other farmers and is endorsed by the Charles County Farm Bureau, but not every farmer agreed.
"I'm here to urge you to vote no on the developers' tier map," said Nancy Smart, a Pomonkey farmer. "This map will hurt us all where it really hurts: in our pocketbooks," because building more houses in outlying areas would require county government to provide expensive infrastructure. "All to make some developer rich. This, in my view, is neither fair nor right."
Organizing by several environmental groups boosted the ranks of the plan's opponents. Most of these were small, all-volunteer organizations like the Southern Maryland Audubon Society and the Port Tobacco River Conservancy. But bigger groups, including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, also sent staffers to speak against the map; people from the Maryland chapter of the Sierra Club provided talking points and homemade baked goods to fortify people for a long night.
The county has embarrassed itself by caving to developers, suggested CBF staffer Terry Cummings.
"I'm rather amazed, appalled and flabbergasted at how this process has evolved," Cummings said. "You folks started out a very democratic, open process … and it has devolved to what we have today before us, which is a map that has been developed by a special-interest group. By lawyers, by Realtors and developers. They are basically prescribing, through this map, the land use policy Charles County should follow, and I think that's appalling and outrageous."
These comments raised the hackles of Murray D. Levy, a former county commissioner and state delegate who is now a paid lobbyist for BGI. After the hearing, Levy introduced himself to Cummings, shook his hand, then told the visibly startled man to "go to hell" for saying the county was "corrupt." Cummings insisted that he had not alleged corruption.
"You can kiss my ass," Levy replied.
Levy wasn't the only one to object to the environmentalists. During his three minutes before the commissioners, Brian Klaas of Nanjemoy said that their position "scares the heck out of me" because it would rob him of control over the land he'd worked for.
"Our desire for our land is to live on it, to enjoy it, preserve it and pass it to our heirs. We paid for it; we're still paying for it," Klaas said.
When the speakers had finished, Commissioner Ken Robinson moved that the board work to draft a new map that could be acceptable to both sides, because "we don't want to punt" the matter back to the planning commission.
Commissioners' President Candice Quinn Kelly (D) joined him, but the other three commissioners voted simply to keep the record open instead.
Despite rejecting Robinsion's motion, Commissioner Reuben B. Collins II (D) said in a Wednesday interview that he hopes for a compromise.
"From my perspective I see problems with both maps. All along, I thought the idea was to try to find somewhat more of a middle ground. I think that's something were going to eventually get toward," Collins said.
Kelly was more definite, saying she could not accept the map endorsed by the planning commission and BGI, in large part because of sharp although informal criticism offered by the Maryland Department of Planning after the planning commission approved it.
"There are a couple fundamental questions: the intent of the law, compliance with the law, and will the map be able to stand up against criticism from state agencies and legal challenges? There was nothing I heard from BGI that convinces me that that's the case," Kelly said.
At other hearings, BGI supporters have said state agencies can do little about the county's tier map even if they don't like it. This might be true, Robinson acknowledged, but the state has many other ways of making its displeasure felt, especially as it doles out funds for infrastructure.
"I'll just leave you with a 'dot dot dot'" on the potential consequences of offending the Maryland Department of Planning and other agencies, he said.
Commissioners Debra M. Davis (D) and Bobby Rucci (D) did not return calls seeking comment Wednesday.

Recipe by ellenmoriah
"A surprisingly good and healthy dish for guests or family. Salmon fillets are roasted with fennel bulb in an orange sauce."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 small
fennel bulb, trimmed and diced
1 tablespoon
olive oil
2 (8 ounce)
salmon fillets
1/2 cup
orange juice
1 pinch
Old Bay Seasoning™
The photo for this recipe (taken by Linda) looks like the green portion of the fennel was included in the recipe. Only the bulb (the white part) should be used, and it needs to be sauteed before baking on top of the fish. The salmon will dry out if baked too long. I put the dish in the oven at the same time I turn the oven on (to 350°). Bake, covered with foil, for 30 minutes and it should be cooked, but moist. Serve with the fennel on top of each piece of salmon. The flavors compliment one another very nicely. This review is written by the original poster of the recipe (ellenmoriah), and is intended to clear up any misunderstandings about it. It's a very tasty dish when made correctly. (Note: one reviewer recommends adding Old Bay Seasoning. That ingredient is in the original recipe.)
Healthy all right, but totlly devoid of taste! The fennel tasted so promisingly good while baking, but the salmon failed to soak up any of the fennel or OJ taste. A big disappoint.
14 Ratings
THE FENNEL: Remove all green stems, any discolored parts of the white fennel core, and the then dice a small yellow onion or 2 shallots. Sautee fennel and onions in about 2 tblsp. of good (green) olive oil over medium heat until the diced fennel and onions soften and begin to caramelize (about 20-30 minutes). Cut the salmon filet into serving size portions. I cut 1 lb. filet (about 1/2" thick) into 4 pieces to serve 4. Place skin-side down in an 8x8 glass cooking dish. Pour 1/4 c. orange juice over the fillets. It will spill onto, and cover, the bottom of the dish. Liberally sprinkle the top of each fillet with Old Bay Seasoning (if you have another fish seasoning you prefer, it should work too). Top each fillet with the cooked fennel and onion so it's evenly distributed. Cover the dish with tin foil and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with the fennel still on top of each piece. This goes very nicely with sauteed red swiss chard (with caramelized onions and garlic) and brown rice (spiced with lemon juice and garlic salt). I've served this dish many times to many different people. It always gets rave reviews and no leftovers. For those of you who read LynnHK's review (no offense to her that I don't remember her name just right).... well, if you read her review, you should know she made it wrong. I'm sure she meant no harm.
I found that if you sprinkle the fish with Fennel pollen in the last 5 minutes of cooking it REALLY adds to the flavor. Also, if you sprinkle on a pinch or two of "Old Bay" seasoning, it really helps. The orange juice keeps the fish moist and tasty! This is a staple recipe in my book.
If you eat healthy you will love this recipe. I served the fish over a balsamic/oil dressed green salad with red onion, orange segments and roasted almond slices. I would use more fennel next time....I will be making this one a lot. Would be great for a dinner party as it is also quick and easy. Thank you for sharing.
This recipe sounded really neat, but tasted even better than I expected. I did not have the Old Bay seasoning, so I added a pinch of salt, pepper, paprika, mustard and celery seasonings to the fennel as it sauted in the oil. I used rainbow trout and cooked it for 15 minutes. Very moist and tasty.
Fabulous! Easy to make, healthy, and "different!"
East, good, flavorful.

It appears that one might possibly attach a lightweight trailer to that rack sort of deal on the back, or possibly to the seat stay. Since the thing has such a short wheelbase with the rider's weight so far backwards, there would be a bit of a problem with the bike doing a wheelie, however.

ETSU Baseball takes No. 20 Clemson to extra innings, but falls in the 12th, 6-3
Thursday, April 24, 2003CLEMSON, S.C. (April 23. 2003) -East Tennessee State battled No. 20 Clemson Wednesday night to extra innings, but a three-run homer in the bottom of the 12th gave the Tigers a 6-3 victory over the Bucs from Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, S.C. The win improved the Tigers to 28-13 overall, while the Buccaneers fell to 11-26 on the year. Tiger first baseman Michael Johnson hit a three-run blast that provided the deciding runs. Johnson's homer was set up following consecutive singles by David Slevin and Russell Triplett. East Tennessee State used six pitchers in the contest, while Clemson used five different pitchers in the ball game. Harrelson (2-1) came on in relief to pitch 6.0 innings of one-hit ball to earn the win. He struck out eight of Clemson's 15 on the night. The 6.0 innings pitched tied his career-high and the eight strikeouts easily set a career-best. ETSU sophomore righty Trevor Smith (Newport, Tenn.) was credited the loss (0-1) for the Buccaneers after pitching 1.1 innings and giving up the final three runs of the game. Senior Willie McKenzie (Kingsport, Tenn.), juniors Josh Kite (Greeneville, Tenn.) and Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) and freshman Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) each pitched well for the Bucs in relief, combining for six scoreless innings out of the pen. The Buccaneers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Hourigan issued consecutive walks to freshman designated hitter Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) and freshman right fielder Jordan Abromovitz (South Park, Pa.), and then moved each over one base on a wild pitch. Senior first baseman Chad Boruff (Knoxville, Tenn.) then slapped a double into left center field to score both runners. Clemson responded in the third when Russell Triplett lined his fourth home run of the year over the left field fence. His shot scored Ryan Hub and Brady Everett and made the score 3-2 in favor of the Tigers. East Tennessee State knotted the game up at 3-3 after Boruff hit his second double of the night to left field, scoring Calicutt from third. Boruff drove in all three runs for the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers return to the diamond for a pivotal three-game series with the Davidson Wildcats this weekend from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. Friday night's game is set for 7 p.m., with Saturday's game starting at 2 p.m. and Sunday's first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.

Sebastian Vettel has revealed Red Bull decided to retire his car in Austria to "save some mileage" after a dismal start to the race.
Vettel started 12th on the grid but was soon at the back of the field as his RB10 "lost drive" on lap 2.
Back in the action, the Red Bull racer was later involved in an incident with Esteban Gutierrez that forced him to pit for a new front wing.
Shortly after, Red Bull decide it would be best to save the engine and all the other components for another day.
"We stopped because we wanted to save some mileage," Vettel told the BBC.
"We were hoping to get a Safety Car but it didn't happen and there is no point continuing when you are a lap behind."
The four-time World Champ added: "It's part of the game [retirement] obviously it's been a bad first half of the season with three retirements and many problems, it's part of the game and we have learnt a lot."

OXO was founded in 1990 on the philosophy of Universal Design, which is the concept of designing products that are easy to use for the largest possible spectrum of users. Living by Universal Design principles gives the OXO's designers an opportunity to see things from a different perspective.
The OXO Good Grips line has been recognized by several national and international organizations for superior design and today is regarded as one of the icons of Universal Design.
The goal of making products more usable forces OXO's product designers to first identify problems and inefficiencies of existing products (including their own), not only in terms of comfort, but performance as well. This gives them the foundation to meet their commitment of making only products that offer tangible improvements. Each year, OXO introduces more than 50 products. Many of these products take more than two years to develop. In fact, a few of the products never make it to the market because they fail to meet the OXO criteria.
The line has grown to more than 500 innovative products covering many areas of the home. Since founder Sam Farber sold the company and retired from OXO in 1995, the company was purchased in 1999 by World Kitchen, Inc., a housewares company based in Reston, Virginia, and then again in 2004 by Helen of Troy Limited. Today, OXO continues to be focused on creating innovative solutions for problems that users experience in their everyday tasks.

3 1/3 cups
all-purpose flour

baking soda
3 cups
white sugar
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
2 cups
canned pumpkin puree
eggs, beaten
2/3 cup
1 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
These are wonderful! I am always looking for different recipes with pumpkin. Pumpkin is a great source of vitamin A. Making muffins, pancakes, cookies, bread, etc with pumpkin is a fun way for kids (and adults) to get that A. I did switch to half and half whole wheat flour and all purpose, used only 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and added cinnamon, ginger, and all spice.
I cut this recipe in half BUT I cut the sugar in half again to 3/4 cup for 12 muffins or a half recipe. I only used 1 1/2 cups flour because for 12 muffins, that's usually what I use and I was afraid the muffins would come out dry if I added more flour. Baking these at 350*, my muffins were done at just about 20 minutes. Thirty minutes and I would have had overdone muffins. These turned out okay but they didn't have much flavor. I think if I were to make these again, I'd increase the spices (like maybe use pumpkin pie spice) and I'd use some kind of fat (melted butter or vegetable oil) or even some cold brewed chai instead of plain water.

SO EASY! These tasted better than the muffins you get at the store. I added a few extra chocolate chips and they still turned out great.
I made this recipe for Kindergarten treats. More than one child came back for seconds. The leftovers went to the teachers and to my husband's place of employment. The demand for the recipe has been amazing! I really like the feature on this site that lets you customize the size of the recipe.
These muffins have a good flavor but you have to eat them as soon as they cook or they get tough/dry due to lack of oil. They have a good flavor but I think they really need some oil added for texture. I've made these several times before deciding what was wrong.
My husband bought some pumpkin-chocolate-chip-cookies and they tasted so good I wanted to make some pumpkin-choc-chip-muffins for a brunch that I was hosting. I halved the recipe, used half whole-wheat flour, cut down the sugar to 1cup ( half white, half brown) and used pumkin-pie-spice instead of nutmeg. My batter was pretty thick so I added a splash of milk and about 1/4c apple sauce to add moisture. The batter was plenty for 15 cupcakes-size muffins that rose beautifully and were done after 24mins. The muffins were absolutely delicious!! Very moist and rich. I did the calorie count and one muffin came down to only 150kcal!!! Next time I'll try substituting half the sugar for sweetener to cut down on the calories even more. Can't believe something this moist and decadent is actually fat-free!! Will be making again!
I divided the batter into two loaf pans and baked them for about 50 minutes. We are enjoying one loaf now and freezing the second for later. Fresh pumpkin puree worked well with this recipe. The "muffins" turned out moist and delicious.
These turned out exactly as I hoped they would. Moist, and darker on top than the picture. They did not stick to muffin tins as some said, but I was generous in greasing them. Cutting the sugar to 2 1/2 cups didn't hurt them. Also, I increased the chocolate chips to 1 1/2 cups.

I don't think I had been playing but less than 2 months and my first tourney was the AK State Championships in '09. I was one stroke out of 7th (anger stroke), but finished 9th out of 13 in INT.
2years last month I've been playing and I finished 2nd in open this weekend :D
I had been playing for a few months. It was in Pulaski County, Ky. in '87. I can't remember who it was but me and him were fighting for last place. I think I won last place by 1 stroke.
Good times!
15 years ago, after about a year of playing.....drove 200 miles (events were few & far between in 1996). They mixed divisions---1 Pro, 1 Advanced, 1 Intermediate (by another name, but it was the lowest division)---on each card, which was intimidating. Didn't cash, but won ace pool and 2 CTPs.
I Had been playing for about five months 2007 Got a two stroke penalty for teeing off the wrong tee pad (TD never mentioned a second long tee pad on hole #1- the locals were about the only ones that were aware of that second tee pad-Bottom line is its the responsibility of the player to know who, what where & why, even if the TD makes a mistake )
Ended up tied for first, choked in the playoff. A-tier 2nd place Int. @ 45 yrs of age.
My first tourny was part of the Tour Del Sol in Debary Florida. I played Rec as I was advised to do.
I placed first. I had a 52 and then a 56 for a 108 out of 108. I scored PAR. I really had a swollen head after that.
Then my very first PDGA sanctioned event was the Orlando Open at Bill Frederick Park (aka Turkey Lake).
I played Rec. There were 28 Rec Players that weekend. I tied for 18th place. My total was 252, and the winner had only 218. I lost by 34 points, ouch. My head returned to normal size and I learned to be humble.
Then I played the Barnett Championship as "Advance Masters". I know jumping from Rec to Advance Masters, what was I thinking. I was thinking that I would have an easier time competing against people my age versus against people who younger and stronger then I was.
Well I ended up with 263, second to last place. The winner finished with a 224. That was a 39 point deficit.......
So now I decided to play Intermediate and stay there. Until I can come close to winning, I'll stay there. I did like the feeling of playing people my own age, but I did not like getting my ass kicked.
So to answer your post question. My very first PDGA sanctioned event was an eye opener, and humbling.

Mars! - Lemonade Wars
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum and animation in general. We finally finished a full pilot episode of a series we call Mars! Please take look and let me know what you think.
Part I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzyZ4aw1Tis&feature=plcp
Part II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENDS22wRBT8&feature=plcp
Appreciate your feedback!

Re: Mars! - Lemonade Wars
Thank you Charles. Really appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoyed them.
Re: Mars! - Lemonade Wars
This is some pretty raunchy stuff, but I think it would have potential if it got more attention across the web.
How long did it take to make just the pilot?
Re: Mars! - Lemonade Wars
Thanks for the feedback! I agree and hope it would take off on the web. But, I'm not very good at marketing, and not sure how to get it more attention.
As far as time it took to make it. It's funny, we scripted and recorded the dialog in just a couple of weeks. But it took me almost two years working on it on and off to get it done! But I think total time of actual continuous work is maybe about 80-100 hours. Used a mixture of Anime Studios, GarageBand, and iMovie to put it together.
Re: Mars! - Lemonade Wars
I use iMovie myself to put some of my own videos together, and I've used Garage Band for some of my soundtrack as well.
You could try promoting the show on other websites if they'd let you.

On the heels of a public hearing last week in which testimony came overwhelmingly in support of a flat $43 stormwater fee rather than a model that would charge urban and rural property types differently, the Charles County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the universal charge.
The fee will pay for a state-mandated stormwater management program that must be implemented by July 1.
Last year, the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation requiring the state's 10 largest jurisdictions — those that qualify for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — to fund stormwater management projects.
The bill came as part of the state's efforts to abide by a 2010 order from the EPA requiring states within the Chesapeake Bay watershed to reduce the amount of pollutants they contribute to the estuary.
County staff originally proposed a plan in April that would have set the fee — known colloquially as the "rain tax" — at $32 for urban homeowners, $64 for rural homes and farms, $16 for townhomes and $10.66 for condominiums.
That plan was modified recently to change the respective fees to $30, $60, $15 and $10, while fees for businesses, nonprofits and faith-based groups would have been calculated individually based on each property's amount of "impervious surface" and could range between $30 and $25,590, according to county figures.
The second option, an alternative proposed by county staff that the commissioners ultimately opted for, will charge a flat $43 fee, essentially a $29 increase to the $14 environmental service fee that currently goes toward stormwater mitigation improvements.
Stormwater runoff is a principle source of Chesapeake Bay pollution, and "impervious surfaces" like structures and asphalt parking lots and driveways, which don't allow rainwater to soak into the ground, increase runoff.
Environmentalists who criticized the initial proposal as inequitable at a May 1 public hearing were even more dismayed with the alternative at last week's hearing, but most of the 20 who testified June 12, including representatives of the farming and business communities, supported the flat fee as more fair.
"I think flat rate and nothing else after that," Commissioner Bobby Rucci (D) said. Commissioners' Vice President Reuben B. Collins II (D) and Commissioner Debra M. Davis (D) agreed.
"I think that in a perfect world, it would be more equitable to go with the second rate, but I think the cost of administering it as well as the overwhelming response from the public in support of the flat rate makes me lean towards going in that route," Commissioner Ken Robinson (D) said.
Rucci said he wanted no inspections conducted on residents' property, but Associate County Attorney Matthew Clagett said that the state required inspections for property owners who want a credit on their fee or to appeal it altogether. Clagett added that both issues would be mitigated if the commissioners went with the flat fee.
Robinson suggested a future amendment to the program's rebate provisions, namely that a portion of the $200,000 made available for rebates be allocated to those whose properties are certified as "Bay Wise" by the Maryland Extension Master Gardeners program.
After settling on the flat $43 fee, the commissioners unanimously approved the program's $2.1 million budget.

Kosher Vegetarian
|Linguine with Mushrooms
Adapted from Herbivoracious by Michael Natkin
Living in Seattle, we get some of the best and freshest wild mushrooms in the country at our markets. The bounty of morels, chanterelles, porcini, maitake, and dozens of other varieties is astonishing. Because of that, I sometimes forget how delicious cultivated button mushrooms can be, but this recipe puts them to great use.
This dish is super simple to make. The critical step is in the final minute of cooking. Be sure to add enough of the pasta cooking water to deglaze the pan and develop a bit of sauce. If you serve this dry (or "tight," as chefs say), it will be bland and chewy. There should be a little shine. You never need to worry about diluting your sauce with pasta water; the cooking water is seasoned with salt and has some body from the starch shed by the noodles, so in small quantities, it won't make your sauces watery.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (use olive oil for vegan)
Bring a very large pot of well-salted water to a full, rolling boil. Warm your serving bowl or bowls in a low (200°F) oven.
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a very large skillet (preferably not nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Cook, turning occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and then start to brown. Add the white wine to the pan and scrape the bottom with your spatula. Taste a mushroom and adjust the seasoning if needed. Reduce the heat to low.
When the mushrooms are nearly done, boil the linguine according to the package directions, being sure to leave it al dente. Reserve 2 cups of the cooking water. Drain the linguine.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the mushrooms and stir. Add the linguine to the mushrooms and mix thoroughly, again scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the pasta water a little at a time until the pasta is quite lightly sauced, with just a little sheen. You probably won't need all of the pasta water.
Serve the pasta family-style in a big bowl or in individual bowls. Be sure to get all those delicious mushrooms onto the pasta. Finish with cheese, black pepper, and lots of parsley.
Yield: Serves 4
Recipes: Vegetarian, Pasta, Vegan/Dairy, Kosher

Earlier today, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio ran a sort of weird story about the Cleveland Browns having nearly traded for San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh.
Per multiple league sources, the Cleveland Browns nearly pulled off a trade with the 49ers for the rights to coach Jim Harbaugh.
A deal that would have sent multiple draft picks to San Francisco was in place between the teams. But Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport weighed in with a scoffing tweet.
In response to @ProFootballTalk report on #Browns nearly trading for Jim Harbaugh, #Niners source calls it "completely false. Ridiculous."
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 21, 2014
Pro Football Talk/Florio quickly came to its/his own defense, throwing down with a seemingly argument-ending hashtag.
@RapSheet . . . Your source is lying or misinformed. #justsaying
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) February 21, 2014
Rapoport, though, defended his reporting.
@ProFootballTalk it's actually two high-ranking Niners sources, to be specific
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 21, 2014
PFT/Florio was having none of it, and came back with a strong statement of fact about what 49ers bigwigs could and couldn't do.
@RapSheet . . . Why won't they deny it on the record? Because they can't.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) February 21, 2014
This set up 49ers CEO Jed York to come in and win the hearts of football fans everywhere.
@ProFootballTalk @RapSheet is this on the record? Report isn't true
— Jed York (@JedYork) February 21, 2014

Kissing by the Book
Actor's Co-op takes Shakespeare to Appalachia, kinda
AIN'T THOU ROMEO?: Shakespeare in any setting would be just as sweet.
by Kevin Crowe
When Romeo and Juliet begins at the Black Box Theatre, most of the dialogue remains true to Shakespeare's original text, save one word. The entire 10-person cast comes on stage, reciting in unison the slow, metronomic chorus: Two households, both alike in dignity, / In fair Ap-la-cha, where we lay our scene.…
This production doesn't take place in stately Verona amid the lush vistas of the Italian countryside—the Romeo and Juliet we see are late 19th-century southerners, holed up in the Appalachian backwoods, where an Ap-la-cha pronunciation keeps the staunchly Shakespearean iambic decameter intact.
The idea for this re-imagining first came about after a few Co-op members visited the rural mountaintops of Kentucky, where the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud took place. The parallels between the Hatfield/McCoy and the Capulet/Montague sagas are obvious: these families don't like one another. So, it's not too much of a stretch to dress the actors up with the appropriate apparel, set it in the mountains, and let them speak Shakespeare. And, every now and then, pronounce something with a slight southern twang, because "washed" easily becomes "wershed" without changing the verse's intended cadence.
Remakes of Shakespeare's plays, even the most dismal failures, seem to be more popular than the productions in which actors don pantaloons and speak with foppish English accents. Those productions that try to capture the original essence of Shakespeare may be yawns, akin to a stuffy museum exhibition or a worn textbook chapter, bedaubed with coffee stains and years of boring academic brainsickness. The old, real Shakespeare, it seems, only succeeds at the Globe Theatre or at Shakespeare on the Square, where alcohol is available.
Ethan Hawke had his version of Hamlet set in a futuristic, business-controlled New York. Leonardo DiCaprio played Romeo in the 20th century, replete with guns and gangs. There was even a production of Othello wherein Patrick Stewart played the Moor and every other cast member was black. Here in Knoxville, a couple of years back at the Clarence Brown Theatre, there was a version of Twelfth Night set in bebop-era America, à la West Side Story .
Those productions work because they demonstrate the power and relevance of Shakespeare's words. People who've never read the bard outside of a high school literature class will likely tell you, because they've heard it said before at least a thousand times, that Shakespeare's words are timeless.
But this production does something different than other, trendier interpretations of the bard's work. Here, the language seems to be set free, as the setting feels secondary (perhaps even tertiary) to the original story. It's in Appalachia, but it ain't Southern; this Shakespeare refuses to be countrified.
Jarron Vosburg, appearing in his third Black Box production, has the look of a Romeo; he's young, with the stern demeanor of a kid who has studied elocution extensively, giving his Romeo just enough pompousness to belie his total, love-struck inexperience.
Conversely, Martha Reddick's Juliet brings a bit of unconstrained emotion to her performance, at times appearing more experienced than her wannabe-lover does. When they kiss, Juliet says, "You kiss by the book," a hint that Juliet—Reddick's Juliet in particular—knows more about this thing called love than she lets on.
The other cast members take on multiple roles. You'll see the same actor playing a member of the Capulet clan; then, a couple of scenes later, that same actor's a Montague.
In the first scene, we see a slapdash portrayal of violence, as Samson and Gregory quote legal jargon before brawling. Throughout the play, love and hate are interrelated, with the possibility of death always lurking in the background.
Also in the background are the other cast members, switching roles and changing costumes, slowly working to send the madcap feud toward a violent tableau.
Travis Flatt, when he's playing Tybalt, infuses the character with the same angst and energy he brings onstage when he's fronting the local hardcore band Sadville, suggesting that all the aggregate anger surrounding the Capulet-Montague feud is unfocused, but always manages to find a way to express itself. The same is true of love. Both always find a way, usually without a Hallmark ending.
This production shows us that Shakespeare's original verse is the source of the play's resonance, not the re-imagined, Appalachian setting. The point isn't that Shakespeare can be updated, but that his works should be updated, that his drama is undeniably human, yet more primitive than we'd like to imagine ourselves. And the primeval aura that is woven throughout Romeo and Juliet applies to any period, any moment in history. It's not exactly high drama, because it concerns everyone, from the groundlings to the aristocracy. Still does.
Characters onstage at the Black Box don't wax eloquent just for the sake of doing Shakespeare. There's no air of pretentiousness about their performances. For them, the language isn't elevated; it's just the script. And there's a reason Shakespeare is still performed and his contemporaries are studied by English grad students: There's truth in the words.
The cast understands those truths, as well as the complexities of love and hate, without overplaying them. Pure Shakespeare, nothing more, so it works.
Who: Actor's Co-op

Buffalo SabresThis panorama, taken by James Blakeway, captures the Buffalo Sabres playing on home ice during their first full season under new ownership. Beginning day one, new owner, Terry Pegula laid out his vision and stated one simple goal for the team, "Starting today, the Buffalo Sabres' reason for existence will be to win a Stanley Cup." In 1970, after years of minor league hockey, Buffalo established a National Hockey League� team, the Buffalo Sabres. In 1975, the Sabres made their first appearance in the Stanley Cup Final Championship series. This was the first Final since the 1967 expansion to include two teams that were not part of the Original Six teams.
A must for any Buffalo sports fan! Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality print stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official NHL and team logos, commemorative title, and a brief descriptive paragraph, this Buffalo Sabres game night panorama is both a beauty for the wall, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of home, office, locker room or classroom!

Dec 20 2012: The basic nature of information.
- +1
When you look in the dictionary, or try to study this topic, you find a bunch of synonyms. No one knows the basic nature of information. I am convinced that if we could develop an understanding of the very foundations of information, that this would lead to solutions of many problems. It would have a huge affect on how we perceive everything. It would also accelerate the development of intelligent machines.Jan 18 2013: Hi Kaleb,
There is a saying i remember from my childhood: "lord, give me strength to change the things i can change, patience to accept the ones i cannot change, and wisdom to know the difference"
Well, I am no longer a believer, but i think this still applies quite nicely to our understanding of what it is to be a human:
Humans have two inputs in life: their nature (genetics) and their nurture (culture and environment).
There are behaviors and traits that come from our nature, and others that we learn from nurture (and there are also some that develop from the mix of those two).
We can definitely change our culture and environment much more easily than we can change our dna.
If we could acquire the wisdom to know this difference, we would be much better off
cheersDec 26 2012: how to find the courage to take risks .
Dec 26 2012: I don't think there is a way to find courage, there might be, but I've never found it. But if you just go and do something, before you have a chance to regret it.. then people never know the difference.Dec 24 2012: Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Best explanation I ever heard, in terms of pure fancy, was that some kind of swimming contest had been proposed. When the swimmers jumped in, they were attacked by sharks. The crew crowded up onto a makeshift platform to watch, and it collapsed under their weight, sending them into the sea . . . and the sharks. That wouldn't explain the missing lifeboat, however. Thanks!Dec 24 2012: Patience. If I could really get a handle on it, life would be so much better in so many ways for me.Dec 22 2012: How to be fluent in Spanish (which of course I intellectually I can) but u think true fluidity and fluency would entail living in a Spanish speaking country and being immersed in it which at this point in my life I cannotDec 22 2012: Actual theory of everything.Dec 21 2012: I"m going to leave it to your other respondents to contribute the important and relevant stuff. Let me toss in a couple "fun" ones. First: What happened to the Mary Celeste? This sailing ship was found abandoned in the middle of the ocean; her crew completely disappeared. She was seaworthy, still sailing. Why did her crew leave her to disappear in the ocean? Second: What's in the Oak Island "Money Pit"? This elaborately dug treasure (?) hole on an island in Canada has frustrated treasure seekers for centuries. It's obviously man-made, but constant flooding prohibits its excavation.
Dec 22 2012: I've never heard of the Oak Island "Money Pit" but Goodle and myself may have a date looking into these things. What are your theories?
Dec 22 2012: I wish I had a theory. Whoever buried whatever is in the money pit went through a lot of work; there are layers of rope mats, oak planks, etc. down past levels where the water table seeps in. Some say it's "Blackbeard's Treasure", but how could a pirate go to all that trouble; trouble which we, in the 21st century haven't yet overcome? It's a fascinating hunt; you and Google have fun! As to the Mary Celeste; part of the ship's cargo was alcohol. It's been speculated that the crew feared a leak, fire and explosion, and cast off from the ship until the fumes could be dissipated. The ship caught a breeze, and sailed away from them. Possible, I guess.Dec 23 2012: Actually, the Mary Celeste is not a mystery. The ship was a merchant type carying a load of alcohol in barrels. The barrels that cary liquids (like wine or alcohol) must be made from white oak which have occluded pores and are water tight. Red oak have open pores and any liquid will seep out (meaning they are only good for dry goods). Of the 1701 barrels of grain alcohol, there were 9 barrels of red oak in the hold that were empty (previously being filled with alcohol). The crew must have smelled the odour and worrying about an explosion or fire, taken the yawl (rowboat) and attached it to a halyard (line) and gone into the lifeboat to be attached to the Mary Celeste but at a safe distance. The hatches were left open to vent the explosive vapours.
At sometime during the event, probably in stormy waters, the halyard broke free and the two boats were now a drift from one another. The Mary Celeste was found where it should have been under no sails and at the mercy of the currents, but the lifeboat was not found, having probably sunk with all hands.Dec 21 2012: The reason that life exists.. but maybe there is no reason.haha besides that I am in the process of learning another language. Perhaps I wish I could learn an insteresting language that is difficult to learn like Polish
Dec 22 2012: That's possibly the most achievable response I've seen. Polish would be a very.. difficult language to learn I think. If I may ask, why Polish and not Scandanavion, or Spanish, maybe Latin? IDec 20 2012: The treasures and mysteries of God's word.Dec 20 2012: Ying,
I'm afraid I don't understand, can you please explain further? I've never heard of such a thing, what is it? How does one identify it? Where does it begin? Is it something like depression, or more a false sense of happiness?

Dec 20 2012: I would learn how to know there is INVALID (ineffective) happiness.

Gail .
Dec 20 2012: Thank you for finally explaining what INVALID happiness means. Your use of the word without the (ineffective) has been most confusing.Dec 20 2012: Robert,

I'm not sure how helpful this will be, As I said above I'm only twenty and very inexperienced in the world, but my Father taught me a little bit about motivating others to achieve what they are capable of. One of the absolute best gits I ever received from him was an old secondhand book called "Work Smart, Not Hard" by George Sullivan. now keep that book on my desk, in my car, essentially with me at all times. In it I've highlighted, underlined, and scribbled notes to an unbelievable extent. It's very, very helpful. I hope you might find it interesting, or at least as beneficial as I have.
If I may amend my original question, I would like to propose this query instead.
If you could learn one thing, and know absolutely everything about that one thing, what would it be? And if I may be as so bold to include, why that one thing?Dec 19 2012: Thank you ma'am,
It sounds like you know exactly what you want to see in the world, and in Humanity as a whole, As for being able to achieve that level of purpose, I am envious.
Honestly, I don't know. I'm try to seek out something to focus on every day, but there is so much to learn, and so much to see. How can I select just one idea, when there are so many fascinating concepts? If I had to choose only one thing though, I would want to know how to truly understand people. People who are so set in there ways, the refuse to acknowledge the sun for shining it's light.
I don't want to convert them to my ways, god knows that would be wrong in every aspect. But just open their eyes a little, make them see that honor does not demand to kill your wife's, or daughters when they have been raped by your "Brothers".
I guess all I'm trying to say is, what I really, really want to learn is really quite simple. How to make people a little less cruel and a little more empathetic with each other, and with their surroundings (Ecosystem, habitat, etc. )
Also, I apologize for my informal style of writing, I'm afraid it was never one of my strong suits. Something else to learn as soon as I can.
Dec 20 2012: Thank you. I wish I did actually possess such a level of purpose as well, but there is still much that eludes me, despite dedicating significant amounts of brainpower to thinking about many different topics and problems that interest me.
I can understand where you're coming from, as I also considered a number of different topics before settling on interstellar travel and abiogenesis for the purpose of this discussion. The vast quantities of potential information to choose from are overwhelming, to say the least.
I also share your frustrations with certain facets of humanity. If there exists a way to impart sensitivity and basic reasoning/comprehension capabilities to those who are lacking, I would also be interested to learn how to go about doing so.
Committing yourself to exploring new subjects of interest on a daily basis is an excellent use of your time, in my opinion. In doing so, you will be gaining important context that can help you to process facts and see things from unique perspectives. Keep up the good work!Dec 19 2012: This is an excellent question.
I would like to learn whatever combination of physical sciences and engineering that is necessary to successfully make interstellar and intergalactic travel a reality during a single human lifetime. Being able to learn the mechanism of abiogenesis is a close second, though.
And you?
Dec 20 2012: the answer to this question might prove itself depressing. at least, the more i research it, the farther it seems to go in the future.
Dec 20 2012: So true. I sometimes feel intensely depressed after watching shows like Star Trek because the fictional universe they're written in is so far removed from reality. The fact that space exploration has to compete for resources with trivial things like wars in addition to overcoming technological constraints is very sad indeed.
Dec 20 2012: well, if we take the enormous waste of resources, it is even more bleak. but alas, even if humanity gits its ass together, interstellar travel still seems utterly impossible with any technology we have. just for an example, assuming some good annihilation engine, which we don't have, and assuming high yield antimatter production, which we don't have, it would need the entire human energy production of 50 years to get enough antimatter to fuel up our vehicle. be honest, we can't spare our entire energy production, so it must take some longer. i believe interstellar travel can be expected not before 100 years in the future, and maybe well over 200.Dec 21 2012: What I keep coming back to with interstellar travel is the "icepick". How can you ever collide even with something as small as a baseball without being destroyed? True, debris is extraordinarily rare, but can you imagine hitting a baseball at 1/2 the speed of light! After all, you would be travelling billions of miles without striking anything of any size.
Personally, I'd like to know what characteristics a civilization a million years farther "advanced" than we are would look like.

Have you ever wondered if it is possible to see a rainbow at night? After all, rainbows are generally made from sunlight shining through raindrops. Although seeing a rainbow at night may seem like an odd thing to contemplate, it is possible.
Night rainbows are incredibly rare and often difficult to see, but not impossible. If the moon is bright enough and the atmosphere offers the right conditions, night rainbows, also called moonbows or lunar rainbows, can occur.
Just like a normal rainbow, this phenomenon happens when light is split up into the different colors of the spectrum. When the light bounces off the back of a raindrop, it causes the colorful display of light to streak across the sky.
However, because moonlight is not nearly as bright as the sun, the moonbow appears much dimmer. Without much light for our eyes to take in, moonbows can appear muted and grayish or even ghostly white. Only a full moon, or nearly full moon can produce enough light to make a night rainbow. Even with enough light from a full moon, there still needs to be the right conditions to produce a rain-shower while still having enough breaks in the clouds to allow light through. If you ever get a chance to see one, be sure to take in the beauty the night has to offer and snap a photo.

Adding Home Performance Contracting to an Existing HVAC Business
This article originally appeared in the Home Performance Special Issue 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
April 16, 2006
I've been in the HVAC contracting business since the 1960s, and every decade has been a learning experience.Those decades of learning led me to whole-house performance contracting—and the ability to give my customers the service they deserve.A whirlwind tour through those years might help explain why I have moved away from selling boxes and toward providing efficient, healthy HVAC systems in homes that work.

While Walmart downplays the nationwide protests at the retail giant's monolithic megastores, . United Food and Commercial Workers Union and Our Walmart have organized the reported "1,000 protests in 46 U.S. states, including strikes in 100 cities" to demand higher pay and more employee benefits. Attempting to thward the nationwide actions, Walmart filed a complaint against the UFCWU – one of the largest unions in the US – to ban any protests or flash mobs and Our Walmart responded by filing a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board alleging unlawful threats to dissuade workers from participating in the actions. Brass Liberation Orchestra and Contra Costa County Congressman George Miller showed their support for the workers at the Richmond, Calif. store and media and protesters were kicked out of the Oakland location. Reports of riot gear clad police being deployed to disperse the protests have surfaced on Twitter as news agencies report the actions have been peaceful.
Back on the peninsula, where there are no Walmarts:), Free Gaza Actions have been planned at 12:00pm and 1:00pm at Union Square and 4:00pm at the Israeli Consulate at 456 Montgomery St. Since the beginning of the recent hostilities between Palestine and Israel – which were sparked by and Israeli Defense Force helicopter gunning down a 13 year old Palestinian boy playing soccer – Emergency Actions for Gaza have been called almost every evening at the Israeli Consulate in the San Francisco Financial District. The actions have been peaceful, however, there was one incident where a Pro-Israeli who apparently assaulted a Pro-Palestinian triggered a tense standoff with police keeping the two sides apart and another where a police officer assaulted a female Pro-Palestinian demonstrator and an OccupySF livestreamer.

The Unfortunate Transparency of Law: Why They (Allegedly) Could Not Simply Amend FISA
Marty Lederman
So, why aren't the Senate Democrats making more of a fuss about the fact that the Attorney General and Michael Hayden determined to ignore FISA on the theory that the President has the constitutional power to violate such statutes? If Hayden's testimony is any indication, there appear to be two reasons:
The question, as I interpret it, is more political than legal. That being said, I suppose there are three basic alternatives:
A) Turn a blind eye, trust the Decider, even at the expense of civil liberties.
B) Say no, sorry. The damage caused by the measures being proposed is disproportionate if compared with the potential harm in the absence of such measures.
C) None of the above. I'll let you give it a try, but after 3 months you have to prove to me that it works and that there's no legal and secure way of obtaining the same good results.
Putting myself in the shoes of those who were briefed, C sounds like the very minimum they should have demanded. If all those democrats failed to push for even this compromise solution, they failed their constituents.
Shame on them.
Tactical advantages have their limits, strategic suicide being one of the more prominent.
We're in the realm of Occam's Razor here, and secrecy is way over-rated, especially when it comes at the expense of competence. The evidence says that the administration's primary reason for secrecy is to facililate manipulating the political situation at any given moment, and that when it is politically advantageous to do so, they will compromise secrecy without hesitation.
A democracy requires informed oversight and accountability, period. The laws are the means by which a democracy is governed, period: the only purpose of the executive brach is to EXECUTE the laws.
Permitting people like Curious George Bush and Dirty Dick Cheney to operate a closet dictatorship is like shooting yourself in the head to cure a headache. All their arguments tell me is something that's been obvious for a long time: that they think that the American people are fools.
These people are criminals and that's ALL that they are. The US government has degenerated into a crime syndicate: what secret will protect us from THEM? Anyone who can look at the last five years and think we are safe and secure is an idiot.
What we need is competence and honesty, not the secrecy and the scams of these crooks.
.. what appears to be the case here: that the very reason a statutory amendment would be detrimental is that it benefits our intelligence operations to have the enemy believe that what our intelligence agencies are doing is unlawful.
I seriously doubt that anybody who knows anything about the methods of intelligence and security agencies would think for a second that their methods can be really limited by statues. Tempered perhaps but never limited.
Besides people involved in terrorism of any kind, especially those who were able to organize and successfully execute anything as hideous as 9/11 attacks must know that they are in the game in which no methods are "unlawful". So to claim that we need to refrain from amending domestic laws to create the impression that our security agencies are free to do anything is highly dubious anyway you look at it.
Forgetting the terrorism for a while. Consider the reality of legal "limitation" on methods of security agencies. Here is where we are.
"Extremism in defense of [insert appropriate verbiage here] is no vice" has always been an overriding principle of all such agencies in all countries including this.
This is especially true when they respond to major perceived threats internal or external. Unsurprisingly security agencies always see major dangers facing their respective countries as this helps their budgets and stature and their ability to act outside the law.
For example of what is considered acceptable under such circumstances consider the FBI attempts to drive MLK to suicide simply because they considered him a major domestic threat. There is little doubt that their methods when dealing these days with "terrorist" or any other suspicious element (Hatfill, Mayfield and all of those other cases that have never seen the light of day) can be equally ruthless. After all we are in a post 9/11 environment where effectiveness not legality is of overriding importance.
Even assuming that Hooverian/Stasi like methods have been suppressed in the present day FBI (wouldn't bet on it!) we have new players out there. The DoD and various allied local agencies under the leadership of local Join Terrorism Task Forces. Most of them, especially DoD tend to be far less constrained by any legal principles than FBI ever was.
The indications are that it is still possible to neutralize people in this country using extra-legal, extra-judicial methods. On a whim of some local FBI, DoD or DHS security operative or their proxies. In the name of pre-emption or pro-activity. Laws, FISA amended or not have nothing to do with that. Neither do courts. Again the overriding principle in our security apparatus remains:
"Extremism in defense of [insert appropriate verbiage here] is no vice"
Certain on the "left" have been speaking for some time on the lapdog nature of the Democrats. The October Resolution in 2002 is a telling example, one which had many Democratic votes, and had people who truly don't like/trust the Bush Administration like Al Franken (Air America) in support.
At some point, this trust -- and we have delegated foreign policy and national security issues to the President too long, too broadly -- was shown to be foolhardy. As to Roberts, he also noted "everyone" thought Iraq had WMDs. I don't take what he says totally on face value.
But, yes, to some degree, the Dems gave too much discretion to the Bush Administration. Many still don't quite get it. This is helped by those who (like Pelosi?) might not be totally comfortable with national security matters, or deep down are not really all too liberal (like Reid).
I seem to remember Bob Graham saying something to the effect of "Hold your horses, I didn't get THAT briefing". And Rockefellar's safeguarded letter still annoys me as I have to wonder if he was uncomfortable regarding the handling of his nation's security and the enfringement on civil liberties why he stopped at just writing a letter and putting it in a safe. This was going on in the leadup to the 2002 midterms and Jay had to have recognized the power building of this presidency but to simply write a letter, I don't get it.
YOU BLODDY WELL AMEND THE LAW. Congress CAN be quiet. Who, aside from the national security community, really had any idea what all was buried within the (if I remember right) 900+ page Patriot Act.
I thought we were a nation of laws, but this is an administration of men. I would be MUCH more comfortable with all this if there were laws to cover and at least a prospect of some judicial and legislative oversight. Plus, that way, the program would produce evidence that could be used legally, rather than being the basis, the first fruit of the poisoned tree, for God knows what sort of extra-constitutional system.
The administration broke the law.
Oversight briefings, while crippled, did occur. Of the few members who were briefed, none is saying they did not know the essential fact that FISA's core requirement was breached.
There is nothing in the Constitution or statute that authorizes eight legislators, meeting in secret with executive branch officials, to set aside or amend the operation of FISA.
Democratic leaders were generally complicit, which goes a long way to explaining their general lack of guts in challenging the illegality of warrantless surveillance now. (Except for Rockefeller's half-hearted letter, we have heard of no contemporaneous dissent.)
Rep. Harman's lame excuse is that she didn't realize it was illegal at the time because she wasn't allowed to consult with legal experts. Puh-leeze. From her official bio:
"Prior to her election to Congress, Harman worked as an attorney, served as special counsel to the Department of Defense and as deputy secretary to the Cabinet in the Carter White House. Harman began her career on Capitol Hill as chief counsel and staff director for the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights."
I abhor the lawless behavior of the President, but there is plenty of blame to go around.
Actually I don't think it is acceptable for a government to act in contravention of its own laws but the more important issue from a security perspective is that the enemy, say some terrorist organisation, is not going to rely on that liberal democracy following its own laws. You cannot manage the perception of the terrorist either by explicitly following or just pretending to follow your own laws. It the latter case it is a secret that is extremely brittle and it will get exposed in the shape of leaks like the USA Today story and the terrorists' direct encounters with those employed in intelligence, military and law enforcement, directly engaged in defending the state. It is therefore of little or no value from a security perspective.
Again, the issue is the compatibility of secret laws (?) with the rule of law (cf. the discussion of Gilmore vs. Gonzalez). The testimony demonstrates some familiarity with reason-of-state arguments ( is Botero taught in military academies?)
Secrecy might also be an attempt to influence the justiciability of a controversy. From Baker v. Carr : "...prominent on the surface of any case held to involve a political question: (1) a TEXTUALLY demonstrable constitutional commitment to a coordinate political department;(2)a lack of JUDICIALLY DISCOVERABLE...standards...", etc.etc. Cf. the well-known aphorism of criminal litigators that their job is easier when there is actually good evidence against a defendant (because they have sth to respond to).
From the standpoint of legal theory, these tactics seem to suggest that the so-called expressive theories of law are, at best, incomplete.
Just some lateral thinking (perhaps too lateral): I have stumbled upon American Lawyer, Inc. & Michael Ravnitzky v. U.S. S.E.C.: (No. 01-1967, Sept. 6, 2002) (ruling that with a few exceptions regarding the agency's FOIA policy and legal interpretations, SEC properly withheld much of its FOIA training manual, exhibits and other attachments...). There, we read the following (emphasis added):
""In so arguing, the SEC impermissibly seeks to withhold 'secret' or 'private' agency law. FOIA requires disclosure of agency instructions or guidelines or substantive or procedural law affecting the public..."
Of course you amend it. Or you leave it as it is, and drop the programme. Look, we're fighting a bunch of terrorists, not the Axis war machine. I'm not going to deny that violent Islamism is a security threat, but for God's sake we're not about to be invaded. Gaining a small, hypothetical tactical advantage over terrorists is not worth throwing away the rule of law, which is precisely what Marty's hypothetical suggests we do. I could bang on about Franklin and stuff like that, but you all know it;s true anyway. The idea that we could as a matter of constitutional doctrine allow a government to blithely ignore duly enacted laws in the name of security is horrific. It could only lead in one direction, and I assume nobody wants to go there. To do so, when the threat is as far from existential as it's possible to be while remaining serious, is beyond all sense.
