Confusing Developments Senate-Side on GTMO Detention, Commissions and Habeas
Marty Lederman
(Cross-posted in part at SCOTUSblog.)
"Four Republicans for (Chafee, Smith, Spectre, Sununu)"
Who would have expected Blofeld to vote for habeas? (Linked here.)
"this is a blunderbuss solution that cries out for careful and deliberate consideration and debate ... where experts can weigh in and various questions can be examined and answered."
This is an excellent suggestion when compared to the current situation where 300+ court cases have been filed before dozens of judges producing dozens of decisions that directly contradict each other on the same set of laws and facts. Article 3 is even worse at solving these problems than Article 1.
"Lawyers for Jumah Dossari, a detainee held at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, filed a motion in federal court yesterday asking for improvements in the conditions of their client's confinement, arguing that his nearly complete isolation from human contact has led him to become suicidal." (Washington Post, Nov 5).
The failure of the courts to reject out of hand grandstanding motions to impose judicial supervision of a military POW facility based on staged "suicide" attempts and hunger strikes has produced a backlash. It would be better if there was more deliberation in the response. However, there has been over three years now for these matters to be discussed. If there are only ideological rants and no meaningful analysis in the papers and journals, it is not just Congress that has been asleep on this question.
After 9/11 Congress authorized "all necessary and appropriate
force against those nations, organizations, or persons
he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the
terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001" Then they went back to passing Highway bills and giving out farm subsidies. If we are left with a bad law, it will be because appropriations is the only thing Congressmen want to do any more. The history books may call this the War on Terror, or they may call it the "War on somebody Congress was too lazy to name carried out by means that Congress was too lazy to define."
Shocking! Among the many quite legitimate court challenges (see, e.g., here, there are some questionable ones.
As to the fact that Congress is more concerned with monetary matters than things of this nature, yeah, that's distressing.
Not new though. James Madison had to pressure the House of Representatives to act on his motion to consider a bill of rights, a matter a majority of the states expected when they ratified the Constitution. One matter dealt with searches and seizures.
Meanwhile, the Congress dealt with setting up shop ... and revenue measures, including duties involving search and seizure concerns.
As to the final question, oy.Post a Comment
Why, oh why, are these the only alternatives? It is important for Congress to actually practice its power and duty to clarify this issue.
But, why the rush? Your questions, and you aren't alone, just cry out for some special care. But, care seems to be the opposite of what is being shown here.
If this is what it takes to bring the torture provision, it reeks of coercion, and I don't like it at all. And, what will be gained? How will those not tried gain review?
I think a moment is upon us where there is actually some agreement that something has to be done. I don't see it disappearing next week. I say risk demanding some time.
This is sadly in some ways 10/02 all over again.

just a gearhead, in the process of restorting my 70's chevelle, I found with pannel repair that everdur is best for tig wielding. It is a high silicon bronze rod, great for pannel repair, flows well, and grinds nicely. Don't use it on anything structural like frames, etc. On my mig wielder, I'm using and ER70S-6 mild steel .023 wire, which seems to work real well. So defenitly try using everdur for the tig. I've had great results.
Good luck with the restoration.

Petronas Chemicals Raises $4.1 Billion in Southeast Asia's Biggest IPO
10:53 AM MST | November 15, 2010 | Natasha Alperowicz
Petronas Chemicals (Kuala Lumpur) says it raised 12.8 billion ringgit ($4.1 billion) after pricing its shares at the top of the projected range in Malaysia's biggest initial public offering (IPO) of shares. Petronas priced the institutional portion of the shares at 5.20 ringgit/share after attracting orders of approximately 92.6 billion ringgit, the company says. The indicative price was 4.50-5.20 ringgit/share. The retail portion was priced at 5.04 ringgit/share. CIBM (Kuala Lumpur) is the principal adviser in the IPO. Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley are joint...

En español | The best steak I've ever eaten was one that we grilled over a small campfire in our backyard on July 4, 2002.
And that wasn't because I splurged on an expensive cut of meat. No, that steak tasted so delicious because of the very special fire it was cooked over: We started the fire by setting a match to a copy of our home mortgage, which we had just finished paying off. A few years into home ownership, we refinanced from a 30- to a 15-year mortgage and doubled-down by enrolling in a no-cost mortgage acceleration program. Then a few years down the road, we made an additional lump sum payment and were able to pay off our 15-year mortgage four years early. In essence, we paid off our home in 16 years and it's the one and only house we've ever called home since 1986.
Celebrating your own financial independence may seem like a pipe dream. But if you try to integrate the following four basic financial principles into your life, that celebration might not be as far off as you think.
1. Live within your means always, and live below your means whenever you can.
Spend no more than you earn and, preferably, even less than you earn. It sounds so obvious and simple, but it's all too rare. A 2011 survey commissioned by a financial consortium including the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards showed that nearly one-third of all Americans are living so close to the financial edge that they would be unable to make their mortgage or rent payment beyond a single month if they lost their job. Ten percent of respondents earning $100,000 per year or more said they would immediately miss a payment!
Ideally, you should develop a household budget — and a lifestyle to match it — in which you spend no more than 60 percent of your income on life's true necessities (housing, food, transportation, etc.) and no more than 20 percent on "wants" (entertainment and other discretionary expenses). You should aim to set aside at least 20 percent as savings.
2. Make saving automatic, and make smart spending second nature.
If you establish good financial habits and routines for both saving and spending, you'll avoid the hassles and stress of always having to worry about money. Put your finances on "autopilot" as much as possible.
Have your paychecks deposited directly into your bank accounts (including a portion of each check into savings). Arrange for your recurring monthly bills to be paid automatically out of your checking account so you avoid late fees, penalties and interest.
On the spending side, make the most economical choices the most convenient choices and you'll spend less, day in and day out, without even thinking about it. For example, carry a bag of groceries with you to the office every Monday so you can make your lunches for the week on the spot. You'll find that you'll actually do it since it's even more convenient — and cheaper — than running out for fast food.

In my other thread I discussed that I'm going to be using a water circulator with my Synchrowave 200. I'm getting my adapter tomorrow for the Weldcraft torch. That will be the Q5WGT Dinse adapter that carries gas from the machine and through the connector to the torch and also takes out the return water without going back into the machine.
I understand that it's about $20 a gallon for Miller or Radnor (AirGas) and some of it is already pre-mixed (cut with water) It almost sounds like I could go broke filing up the tank. I read elsewhere that some folks use RV coolant but I don't know whether that's ethylene or propylene glycol. Yet others say you can use straight distilled water with some "Water Wetter". I'm going on the assumption that distilled water is similar to de-ionized water and would be equally as usable in a welding cooling unit as de-ionized water. I haven't a clue where to get de-ionized water.
I can't seem to find anything from Miller on the topic, either. In fact, the Synchrowave 200 Manual says nothing about a water cooled torch at all. It appears that Miller leans towards the air-cooled torches on the smaller machines.
So my question is, assuming that I use about 7 gallons of distilled or de-ionized water in my 15 gallon tank how much Miller or other brand welder coolant would I need?
Thanks in advance.

Depends on the amount of freeze protection you require. I see where you're in Calif. Will the unit even be exposed to freezing conditions.
Does the coolant have a mix ratio for freeze protection?
If the unit will only be subjected to infrequent temp drops below 20 degrees (like at night), I'd think you'd be OK with a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water.
Are you planning to fill the unit to it's 15 gal capacity? Can't imagine you'd need to in order to provide adequate cooling for a Sync 200 torch.

Yeah I'm with sundown on this one. If there is very little chance for freezing do a 50/50 mix. If it is remotely possible for freeze, use the torch coolant straight as it comes. I wouldn't think you would need more than 4 gallons of coolant solution.Rich Ferguson

Hi, in the past when this cooler was used with another torch on my then 250/250 Lincoln, I ran the tank about half full (7-8 gallons.) It never got even slightly warm. Also, it seldom if ever gets down to 32 degrees in my area and never that cold in my barn where I have my shop. If it were only for protection from freezing, i suspect that I could do with less than a 50/50 mix, eh?
If I were to buy 4 gallons of pre-mix, I'm looking at close to $100 out the door. That's a lot more than I want to pay for this project as I have yet to recover from the purchase of the welder. LOL.
Part of my reason for using the stuff in the first place would be to prevent algae growth. The previous owner of the Lincoln used soluble oil in the mix and it had a tendency to permit algae and other unknown flora and fauna to develop.
I guess I was wondering if there is anything less expensive than the Lincoln/Miller/Radon style pre-mix?
BTW, I picked up my Q5WGT Dinse adapter for the Synchrowave 200 today and also purchased the hoses and connectors I needed. It makes an impressive pile of hoses, almost like a bowl of spaghetti.

Actually, pure antifreeze freezes at a higher temperature than mixed antifreeze (which freezes at a temperature lower than both constituent liquids). This is true for both automotive antifreeze and tig cooler antifreeze (don't use auto antifreeze in your cooler in any amount or concentration). The best mix for the widest temperature range is 60% antifreeze and 40% water, but many distributors say 50/50 for simplicity. However, some antifreeze comes mixed with water (Miller's is premixed), so you may not have to dilute it any further. Don't use pure, concentrated antifreeze (assuming you have access to it) straight. You'll only be wasting money.

If, as you say, the unit will never be exposed to freezing temps, I'd dump a gallon of Miller coolant in (for algae protection) and fill with distilled water.
I've never used it but I suspect an algaecide designed for aquariums could also be added to the mix to further inhibit algae growth.
Contrary to popular belief, the recommended coolant does not provide any specific lubricant to the solution. The pumps and system do not need or like it.

Yeah, it seldom gets below freezing here. Probaly I'll use a gallon or so with the 6-7 gallons of water (half full)
Here's what I use http://www.dynaflux.com/pages/productpages/df929.html It also lubricates the pump to help prevent pump wear. I've never had a problem with algae using this. I dump 1 jug in my Miller Coolmate and fill the rest up with distilled water.Miller Syncrowave 250

WTF do you need with a 15 gallon tank???
The Miller coolant are not designed to be diluted. If you are looking for algea protection. And the system has had, microbial growth in it before. Fill the tank with a strong bleach (1-2 ounces per gallon) with tap water and recirculate for 15-60 minutes. This will kill any live organisms and spores. Flush well with tap water, then rinse with just enough distilled or DI water as needed to get the system to pump. Dump the rinse water and refill with distilled water or DI water. I would not worry about freeze protection if your shop never get below freezing. Goto the nearest water bed store and get some biocide/fungicide combo for waterbeds and use it to treat your system. The chemical they use is a quaternary biocide, it is a broad spectrum biocide and if is sold in the concentrated from one pint will treat 1,000 gallons of coolant, typically the solution is already somewhat diluted so read the label for the dose rate.
As far as Distilled or DI water just go to the grocery store and buy what they have as DI or distilled, it will be just fine.Ron

FREElikefrei – "Blame Me/She's Sexy" (Audio)Friday, August 26th, 2011
If you're a resident of New York City, there is a 95% chance that you've attended an Ahficionados event. Deffrei Enfermera a.k.a. FREElikefrei is one of the founding members. Amassing a career in lifestyle entertainment, from DJing, music production, promotion, to fashion styling, video production, music has always been a mainstay for FREElikefrei – an area in his arsenal not fully pursued. "It's really about being comfortable. I've been in this [business] for a minute and feel I have built a lane that takes years of understanding and learning one's self," says FREElikefrei. His inner voice has become loud and clear, and set the wheels in motion for his forthcoming album, Grey Era, where Frei explains it to mean, "If life is truly black and white then I'm gonna put it together."
"Blame Me/She's Sexy" is a fun tune that touches on a relationship based on superficiality, kind of like the woman Chris Rock would categorise as "new pussy" who has all those external attributes which make her appealing, but ultimately, she ain't nothing but a problem. The jazz like tone, and Frei's storytelling is reminiscent of the years where musical expressions were fun and free. Check out the teaser below. Looking forward to hearing the full project. Stayed tuned for more info on this project.

Get back to work
It is time for Washington to get back to work!
Now that the president, the Senate and the House have all been sworn in for their new terms in office, it is time for the celebrations to end and the focus to shift to solving America's debt problem. In 2008 the president promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. In 2010, the newly elected House majority vowed to cut $100 billion in real spending. And it has been over 1,360 days since the Senate has passed a budget.
Americans should be outraged by these failures. Each second that goes by, Washington is borrowing $52,000 to help finance its overspending problem. Americans are tired of fiscal cliffs and critical deadlines. We are calling on members of Congress to hold town hall meetings the last week in January so that the American people can make their voices heard.
A recent Rasmussen poll showed that 62 percent of Americans want to see spending cuts across the board. The American people deserve to be a part of this conversation. We encourage everyone to call your representatives and tell them to get back to work. And they can start by having a town hall this week.

Serve your commmunity
The City Council wants to begin using the I&M Legacy Fund by taking out $2 million to repair city streets. They profess to be concerned about our city streets and that our neighborhoods are our legacy. So why are they allowing Tom Henry to spend $100,000 to move a statue?
Granted this is just a fraction of the cost of street repairs needed. But by making spending decisions based on frugality and what is in the best interests of taxpayers on a regular basis, the funds would quickly be shored up. They could start by not spending $1,600 each on solar-powered stop signs. Or the money Henry spent to put up signs telling drivers they were entering downtown Fort Wayne.
How about the suggestion from law firm Carson Boxberger, of whom Carson is a former City Council member, to grant tax abatements so they can move into Harrison Square? This looks like cronyism at it's finest. It also gives the appearance of Boxberger making the square look like a success in exchange for tax credits.
This is more poor leadership by the City Council and a dereliction of their duties to serve the community in its best interests, not theirs.

The Obama appeasers
President Obama's recent picks for Secretary of Defense (Chuck Hagel) and Secretary of State (John Kerry) call into question his judgment and wisdom and his ability to lead this country.
Hagel opposed the successful troop surge in Iraq, and he wants to prematurely pull troops out of Afghanistan. He believes in placating Communist Cuba and wants to negotiate with the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. Hagel is committed to negotiating with Iran on its nuclear development program. He wants to make dramatic cuts to our military, which will weaken our national security posture. Hagel will be in lockstep with Obama and will continue the policies of appeasement.
Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War veteran with medals that Swift Boat commanders stated he did not deserve, will march to Obama's tune of appeasement. Kerry, in Congressional hearings, turned on his fellow Vietnam War veterans. He could be another apologist for the administration.
As a former Navy enlisted man and officer, I question the ability of the Obama/Hagel/Kerry threesome to lead this country from a position of strength.

Not idle words
During the holiday season, beginning with Thanksgiving through Christmas, it is encouraging that the newspapers and TV have told of kind deeds, a message of concern and love for one another and a story of faith in God, especially in the midst of tragedy and trouble.
"How can we possibly fight and win this battle except by believing that Jesus is truly the Son Of God?" (1 John 5:8). Do read God's word. "They are not just idle words for you — they are your life" (Deuteronomy 32:47).

Getting Started
Distance learning courses are primarily text-based and effective reading and writing skills are critical for successful course completion. Students enrolled in online and alternative delivery courses should carefully read information provided by faculty and closely review course syllabi for additional instructions on communicating throughout the course.
Online courses can also be time intensive, and varying keyboard skill rates can impact the amount of time students spend completing course work. It is recommended that students carefully evaluate their readiness and abilities in these areas before selecting distance learning courses.
Typically, successful distance learners are:
|Self-motivated and willing to accept responsibility for their own learning.
|Self-disciplined, able to budget their time effectively and willing to stick to deadlines.
|Willing to take the initiative and contact their instructor when they have questions or concerns regarding the course.
|Comfortable with technology, especially web-based and Internet technologies.
|Aware that the flexibility offered by an online course does not mean that the course will be easy.
Every student enrolled in an online course will receive access to an orientation that will introduce students to the environment and Course Tools, prepare them to be successful as an online learner, and share the support resources available online.

Rush Soccer entrenched at NSCAA Convention
Indianapolis, IN – Rush Soccer had 30+ Board of Directors, Presidents, Technical Directors, coaches and administrative staff attend the NSCAA Convention 2013. "You could not walk 30 feet without seeing the Rush "R" being worn proud", said Regional Technical Director Matt Mittelstaedt. With the busy schedule of the convention, Rush Soccer found a time to come together and meet as a group. The group had the chance to meet Robin Russell and Tim Schulz face to face and talk soccer. Robin is a Rush Soccer Board member and Tim is the President of Rush Soccer.
Rush Soccer could also be seen in the presentations. Chris Panayiotou, Rush Wisconsin, was selected to be on a discussion panel on Club Development. Chris spoke about the Rush brand and received many questions about Rush after the event ended.

Goals: The Europa Lander is a concept studied by NASA for sending a future mission to explore the surface of the Galilean moon and evaluate its potential habitability. The study was commissioned by NASA in 2011, along with concepts for the Europa Clipper and a Europa orbiter.
The goal adopted for the Europa Lander Mission concept was "to explore Europa to investigate its habitability." A Europa Lander could provide direct assessment of Europa's habitability and ocean composition while addressing physical processes at a local scale. The planning payload selected for the Europa Lander study consists of a notional set of instruments including a mass spectrometer, magnetometer, multiband seismometer package, site imaging system, Raman spectrometer, and a microscopic imager.
Accomplishments: This mission is a future concept under study by NASA.
