NEW YORK — Witnesses say three Black men disguised themselves as white police officers with lifelike masks to rob a New York City check-cashing store of $200,000.
Witnesses at the suspects' trial in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday described how the alleged thieves fooled them with the get-ups.
Prosecutors say the trio planned the heist for two months, theorizing that concealing their race would help them avoid detection.
They say the men got their masks from CFX Composite Effects. The special-effects company has done work on such movies as "Wolverine."
The New York Post says the robbers apparently were inspired by the 2010 Ben Affleck movie "The Town" in which the robbers wear masks and police uniforms.
The Pay-O-Matic in Queens was robbed in February 2012.

Victoria Bjorklund '83
Nonprofit Rockstar
When Victoria Bjorklund '83 shook hands with members of the Rolling Stones at Radio City Music Hall one evening in 2006, the meeting represented more than an opportunity to interact with rock 'n' roll royalty. The band performed that night in support of the Robin Hood Foundation, a nonprofit organization working to end poverty in New York City, and Bjorklund, a partner at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and founder of the firm's exempt organizations practice group, drafted the contract for the benefit.
"I work on the legal plumbing behind the scenes so that charities can focus on their missions," says Bjorklund, who also serves as a member of New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman's Leadership Committee on Nonprofit Revitalization.
After September 11, many nonprofit organizations in New York City shifted their focus to helping victims, their families, and the small businesses affected by the terrorist attacks. Bjorklund quickly took note, engaging in intensive pro bono work and providing invaluable legal expertise during relief efforts. That work earned her widespread recognition, including from the American Bar Association's business law section, which honored Bjorklund with its Vanguard Award for Lifetime Achievement and Commitment to Nonprofit Law in 2012.
Bjorklund has served as the pro bono legal counsel for Doctors Without Borders since 1988. One of the proudest moments of her career, she says, was when that organization, which provides medical care to the needy around the world, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
"The contact I have with people while working in this field is intensely gratifying," says Bjorklund. "I can't think of a more fulfilling field of law."

I recently installed a few softwares and needed to add their
bin/ directories to my
PATH. Nothing abnormal so far. But I decided to be smart about it, and rewrote a part of my
.profile so I didn't have to copy/paste the same few lines of codes over and over. Here was my idea:
# Create an array with directories to be added to PATH
declare -a addpath=("$HOME/bin" "$HOME/.cabal/bin" "/opt/vert.x/current/bin")
# Add directories recursively
for dir in "${addpath[@]}"; do
if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
I thought this had worked well.. until I rebooted my PC and got locked out of my session when trying to log in. It took me a while to figure out that it was actually because of my
.profile; once I commented those lines out, I was able to log into my session without being bounced back.
My question is; what did I do wrong with these lines? Is there a syntax error? Is there an other/better way to do that? What happened?

Continuum Aquatics Reef-Basis Kalkwasser Dry Form - 100 grams
Reef•Basis Kalkwasser
Description: Dry Calcium Supplement for Marine Aquariums
• Provides bioavailable calcium for corals and other invertebrates
• Original German method of adding calcium to a reef
• Contains no acetates, gluconates, or polygluconates
Reef•Basis Kalkwasser is a high quality calcium hydroxide, the original German limewater method of adding calcium, providing essential calcium for increased growth rates in corals, coraline algae, crustaceans and many other marine organisms. It contains no acetate, EDTA, gluconates, polygluconates or other unnecessary organics to pollute your aquarium.
Use in Aquarium Keeping:
Kalkwasser is primarily designed for maintenance and does not work rapidly, so you should first use our Reef•Basis Calcium if you have severely depleted calcium levels and need to raise them rapidly. Proper control of calcium level is imperative for the health and growth of corals and many other invertebrates. Continuum recommends that you maintain a calcium level of between 410 and 450 mg/L (ppm), an alkalinity level of 7 to 11 dKH (2.5 to 4 meq/L), and a magnesium level of 1250 to 1350 mg/L (ppm). Note: Aquarists keeping SPS corals should consider keeping alkalinity at 7 to no more than 9 dKH (2.5 to 3.21 meq/L).
Expert Use:
This product is only meant for use by advanced hobbyists that are familiar with Kalkwasser. Never add powder directly to the aquarium! Dissolve 6 grams, about 2 teaspoons of product in 1 gallon of purified water to make a saturated solution. Stir vigorously, let stand for several hours. A white precipitate will form on the bottom of the container, and a crust may form on the top of the solution, this is normal. Decant the clear liquid into a dosing system and drip slowly over several days. Discard precipitate. Each gallon of Kalkwasser solution will raise the calcium level about 48 ppm in a 20 gallon (80 L) aquarium. Test the calcium level with a good quality test kit and adjust the addition rate as necessary to maintain the desired level.
Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. Contains strongly alkaline calcium hydroxide, if ingested drink plenty of water or acidic fruit juice, consult your medical practitioner or a poison control center. If in eyes flush with water for 15 minutes, consult your medical practitioner. If on skin flush with water.

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Porto, integrated in the BIODIV Doctoral Programme (Thesis title: "Analysis of the mechanistic link between micro-climate and macro-biogeographic patterns of intertidal rocky shore organisms"). During my Msc I worked on the characterization of the hydrogen metabolism in marine cyanobacteria.
My main research interest is the study of how environmental factors influence species' distributions across multiple scales, with a special focus on temperature. Recent work from this research group has revealed striking temperature differences in intertidal micro-habitats (i) during aerial exposure (i.e., during low-tide) and/or (ii) facing opposing directions (i.e., North vs. South) but just few meters apart. To better understand how this can influence intertidal organisms, I am presently working as a member of a team that is deploying bio-mimicking temperature sensors throughout NW Europe. This network of sensors is already providing high-resolution data on the temperatures intertidal organisms have to withstand, at various micro-habitats on shores from NW Ireland to SW Portugal. Knowledge of the mechanistic link between micro-climate and macro-biogeography will allow improved forecasts of upcoming climatic-driven ecosystem impacts.

Back in stock. Free shipping is site-to-store. If you don't own this, it's a great movie at a great price. Just drive a couple of blocks to the closest Wal-Mart and you can pick it up. It may be cheaper at Target, but Wal-Marts are everywhere.

Thanks for sharing.
This movie seems to be on sale once a week. I admit - everyone should own it/watch it, but how many die fans did they distributors think existed out there? If only.
Hey look another noob that hasn't seen this movie on deals.woot 484 of the last 484 weeks! Thanks nerds. Message received...

Law enforcement is cracking down on local medical-marijuana shops with Animas Herbal Wellness Center facing possible suspension and Rocky Mountain High under pressure from the U.S. Attorney�s Office to either shut down or find a new location.
Durango Code Enforcement Officer Steve Barkley on Tuesday recommended Animas Herbal Wellness Center, 1111 Camino del Rio, for a suspension of its business license because of multiple violations involving the failure of employees to wear badges and failure to secure surveillance equipment.
During the monthly meeting of the Local Licensing Authority, Barkley said the business failed to show corrections during follow-up inspections over the last year.
City Attorney David Smith recommended that the licensing authority schedule a �show cause hearing� for its next regular meeting March 20 to give the Animas Herbal Wellness Center an opportunity to defend itself from the accusations.
�Rasta Stevie� Smith, the store manager and a former city councilor in Telluride, declined to comment after the meeting.
Rocky Mountain High, 129 E. 32nd St., has been asked by the U.S. Attorney John Walsh to stop distributing marijuana by Monday because of its location within a 1,000 feet of Animas High School.
The dispensary is considering relocating downtown to 640 Main Avenue between College Drive and Seventh Street.
Representatives for Rocky Mountain High asked the licensing authority for help in expediting the move but the board could not act because the dispensary did not have a lease agreement for the new location.
Store officials would like to open in the new location before March 20, the next regular meeting of the licensing authority, which regulates the sale of liquor and medical marijuana.
Jordan Smith, a store representative, said Rocky Mountain High is a caregiver with 300 regular customers.
Rocky Mountain High is among the more than 20 medical marijuana dispensaries statewide asked to move or shut down because of proximity to schools, but it is the only one affected in Durango, said David Smith, city attorney.
During the hearing Tuesday, he asked Rocky Mountain High to change its name to something more subtle.
�I think you can understand the problem,� Smith said. The city does not want shops �up and down Main Avenue� advertising the sale of marijuana.
Alex Ellis, Rocky Mountain High representative, said they would take the name change under advisement.
�We don�t want to be too in your face,� Ellis said.

After a couple hours of additional net-scouring, we tried a lot of suggestions, and when it finally worked, of course we'd changed a few things. So, in our case the solution was one or all of the following:

Important Notice
Payments are made to the U.S. Department of Education. Students do not have to start repayment until six months after they graduate or they fall below half-time status. However, you can make payments at any time towards your loan.
The U.S. Department of Education pays (subsidizes) the interest while the borrower is in school and during grace and deferment periods on subsidized Direct Loans. The borrower is responsible for paying the interest that accrues on unsubsidized Direct Loans.
You have a grace period of 6 months after you graduate, leave school or drop below half-time status before you must begin repayment on a loan. During the grace period on a subsidized loan you don't have to pay any principal and you won't be charged interest. On an unsubsidized loan you don't have to pay any principal, but you will be charged interest. You can either pay the interest as you go along or it will be capitalized (i.e., added to the principal loan balance) later.
Back to top
There are also some rules that apply to all student borrowers. They include:
Because this is the first year for KCTCS to participate in the Federal Direct Loan Program, all students wishing to apply for a Subsidized Direct Loan and/or Unsubsidized Direct Loan need to complete the following :
Parent borrowers wishing to apply for a Direct Parent PLUS Direct Loan are required to complete the following:
No, you will not be able to choose a private lender for receiving a new loan, as the Department of Education is the only student loan lender after July 1, 2010.
Changing from FFELP to Direct Lending will not affect your loan eligibility because Direct Loans are subject to many of the same regulations as FFELP loans. For instance, students must meet satisfactory academic progress and be within their aggregate loan limits to receive any kind of federal loans.

Rabbinic writings (e.g. * Rabbah and other midrash) use the words "mashal" (noun) and "nimshal" (verb). What do these terms mean in English? I've heard "parable" or "allegory" for the noun but I am very uncertain about "nimshal". How should I understand these words when I encounter them in this context?
Sign up

Mashal= Parable. It is a story or comparison for the sake of conveying a deeper truth.
Nimshal= Technically it means moral. It is the deeper truth being hinted at in the story.
For instance in Aesop's fables, like the tortoise and the hare, in which a bullying hare is challenged to a race by a tortoise. The hare takes off, and confident of victory naps, the tortoise though tired continues to plug on, and when the hare awakes he sees the plucky tortoise win. The Nimshal, is 'many people have good natural abilities which are ruined by idleness; on the other hand, sobriety, zeal and perseverance can prevail over indolence. Source.
Oh on a gramatical note. משל is both a noun and a verb in the Paal(or Qal depending on how scholarly you want to be) form. While נמשל is also both a noun and a verb in the Niphal. The diference being that the Paal is active/stative while the Nifal is passive/reflexive. Source.
"nimshal" means something like "to be compared with" or "to be like".
It's also used in a general sense as the lesson learned from the "mashal".
I'll add that "nimshal" isn't commonly used in modern Hebrew, and many people don't know the difference between the two.
Mashal is, as you say, the story which is trying to teach a lesson
The nimshal is the lesson which that story teaches--the moral of the story.

The Pratt Community College Men and Women's Track & Field Team competed at the Region VI/KJCCC Conference Championships this past Friday at the University of Kansas.
The PCC men scored a total of 38 points in the conference standings while the PCC women followed with 17 points. This was the most points scored by a PCC track team at in the conference meet in the past 10 years.
The men were led by Beaver Sophomore Blake Thompson as he accounted for seven points from three individual events and an additional six points while anchoring two relays. In all Thompson covered seven and a half miles in five events. Other notable performances came from Jared Walker and Cunningham local Hunter Hope. Walker once again hit a national qualifying mark in the 60 meter dash with a time of 7.01 while Hope placed 4th in the conference pole vault.
The Beaver Women had their own share of success as TaQuisha Drisdell once again broke her own 200m school record and the 4 x 400m Relay also set a school record (Tamika Crawford, Arbonee Marshall, Jenny Boroughs, and Maribel Fraire). This brings the total number of school records broken or established this season to six.
Next up for the Beaver Track Team is the National Championships March 1-2, 2013 in Lubbock, Texas. Representing the Beavers will be Darius Hyacinth in the Men's Triple Jump and Jared Walker in the Men's 60 meter & 200 meter dash.

I would like to write with golden letters in Inkscape. I've found the Gold gradient, but no gold texture in the filters.
How can I do that?
gold typically doesn't have texture. I assume you're asking how to make a surface look reflective like Gold. A tutorial on making chrome text (a popular tutorial in a lot of image editing software) should get you there. Just swap the greys of chrome for the yellows of gold:

To the editor:
Some random thoughts:
Progressives live for the future, conservatives live for the past. The need for alternative energy sources is urgent and, luckily, President Barack Obama understands the urgency and advocates electricity-saving light bulbs and lower capacity toilet flushes. Why is that conservatives don't understand that coal doesn't grow on trees and crude oil takes millions of years to ferment?
Free markets and capitalism are great and the successful American way, with regulation, may I add. If it weren't for the EPA, humans would glow in the dark.
With photos, whether a portrait or a scenic view, angle makes the difference.
There's nothing sadder than encountering a child with a forlorn look on his or her face. The pain is unbearable.
Abstinence causes uncontrollable anger with negative results, no matter what one is abstaining from.
You know the old saying, there are two sides to every story, but if a person is too one-sided, one will come across as lop-sided.
Space and time always have been and always will be the terms of one's life on Earth. If measured by the standards of the universe, life would be 15 minutes or less. Chill out and enjoy.
When one has a strong central form of government, there's a chance for socialism to occur. The flip side, having a strong unregulated private sector, can lead to a sophisticated form of lobbyist, called capitalism with no Robin Hood to look out for the poor.
The great devastation by hurricanes and tornadoes in the 21st century is easy enough to explain. Fault 20th and 21st century engineering. Some of the buildings being built today don't have the strength of a good sandwich wrapper.
Start your meal by taking smaller bites like you do when you end your meal and you're trying to savor that last little bite and you will be slimmer, trimmer and healthy.

Anyone else hyped for this? While I enjoyed RE5 I really haven't felt the need to return to it. RE4 in comparison I could boot up right now for the billionth time. What got my interest was not only the trailer but the talent behind the game listed in the credits (end of trailer) certainly a bunch that have a resume that lends itself to a stronger game. I'm also glad Masachika Kawata is nowhere near this title. He was the face to most of the media when RE5 was being hyped... I cringed whenever that fool spoke. He had no idea what made the series work.
"To be honest, I had my own impression about Western people," "being laid back and sitting on sofas." "[The Canucks] came in early, on a Sunday, and gave us all sorts of recommendations. They wanted to do it, rather than being dragged out of bed if you like. So they've completely changed my perception about working with Western developers." Masachika Kawata

stopping anac(h)cronistic cron

A Sucker's Bet - '72 NovaWritten by on October 18, 2006 Contributors: Wes Allison, Kevin Hayes, Nick Komic Don't Let The Beater Body And Torn Up Interior Fool You. With Kurt Urban's Nova, What You See Is Most Certainly Not What You Get.
Kurt Urban and the crew at Wheel to Wheel Powertrain have pulled off one of the slickest automotive bluffs of all time. Their '72 Nova, dubbed the Super Sleeper, is the dragstrip equivalent of a top championship poker competitor. The poker champ, aloof and clad in neutral colors, appears pedestrian at best, a deliberate tactic to lower the expectations of his opponents. Experienced gamblers may recognize his bluff, but-human nature being what it is-there's nothing like a pair of brown shoes and worn corduroys to give your rival a false sense of security. It's the same school of thought-automotively speaking-that created the Super Sleeper. Shroud a reliable, state-of-the-art horsepower tour de force in what appears to be a seemingly harmless grocery getter, and you are optimally poised to inflict the sting of a sucker's bet on anyone foolish enough to wager. "Even if I lined up next to it and noticed the screws (in the rear wheels), I might think it had a hidden nitrous system or something - but nothing as sophisticated as this."
"The sleeper concept is not new," Kurt says. "Everybody talks about building the ultimate sleeper, but we did it. I wanted to build a car to show how far we could go with the concept and to highlight our creative and technical fabrication services while maintaining some creature comfort and reliability." Originally a California car, it was brought to Detroit by Mark Stielow, who intended to build it himself but got distracted and let it go to Kurt. The car was moved to W2W's facility in the Detroit suburb of Madison Heights to begin the scheming.
Considering the amount of technology and horsepower packed into the 34-year-old Nova, the car looks remarkably stock. The factory front 7-inch steel wheels were retained and wrapped in 235/60R15 BFGoodrich tires, while Stockton Wheel was assigned the job of fabbing the 10.5-inch rears with the entire dish on the inside to maintain the factory look. "Normally, I wouldn't go that route, but we were trying to do everything we could to keep it from looking like a player. Even the factory 'poverty caps' fit perfectly," Kurt points out with a grin.
In fact, the only cosmetic bodywork the vehicle has received is a not-so-perfectly pulled dent on the lower section of the driver's door. The interior maintains the poker-faced daily-driver motif to perfection, right down to the western blanket seat cover, column shifter, and deteriorating steering-wheel cover. Polycarbonate door-, rear- and quarter-windows replace the originals but were custom beveled to replicate the look of factory glass, a detail bordering on obsessive. Occupants benefit from interior climate control courtesy of the Vintage Air HVAC, which keeps things cool or warm as needs dictate. A concession to safety was wisely made with the installation of the rollcage; finished in black, the tubing hugs the lines of the A, B, and C pillars so closely, if you're not looking for it, you won't see it.
Looking under the hood for the first time is like finding a stick of dynamite and a bottle of whiskey in your dear-old grandmother's purse; it takes a few minutes to get over the initial shock, and even then you still have a few doubts. The sturdy foundation is one of W2W's tried-and-true, all-aluminum, boost-ready LS2 long-blocks with All Pro heads. But the basic engine is not where the trick science lies. That is in the induction and electronic fuel injection, which is truly over the top.
As the primary North American distributor for Rotrex products, W2W logically used a pair of Rotrex superchargers on the sleeper project. We went inside the Rotrex blowers in the Dec. '05 issue ("The Rotrex Revolution"), but in a nutshell, they are very compact superchargers with a planetary-type drive that provides for linear boost and exceptional efficiency. Twin Autowerkes active bypass valves keep the pressurized air in the sweet spot for optimized induction pressures, while two liquid-to-air intercoolers, ingeniously concealed inside the front fenders, put a chill on the boost for maximum density. But the blowers and intricate intercooler plumbing are still only half the story.
W2W's Octane on Demand system seems as if it were tailor-made for the sleeper application and will probably be the new hot setup to have on a fast street car. Basically, it uses two complete fuel-delivery systems, one for pump gas and one for high-octane. The factory fuel tank handles the pump gas, while a custom-built tank in the trunk stores the high-octane fuel. Additionally, there are two sets of eight fuel injectors. The primary injectors spray the pump fuel, and the secondary injectors, which sit above the primary injectors in the intake runner, deliver the high-octane gas. The key to controlling it all is a Big Stuff 3 ECM. Under normal cruising conditions, the ECM directs fuel only to the primary injectors until their duty cycle reaches a user-defined parameter-in this instance, 70 percent-at which point it opens the high-octane injectors so all 16 are flowing. There are no switches or valves that need to be messed with. Just drive around like normal on the pump gas, then put your foot to the floor, and you've got race-level octane with no hassle. Kurt claims "the Nova's setup only turns on the high-octane at WOT, so a little high-octane fuel lasts a long time."
At last check on the dyno, the package was producing 1,160 hp at 7,500 rpm and 825 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm, just a tad more than the original six-banger. And it's not just powerful, it's stone-cold reliable as well: the W2W LS2 long-block has been subjected to-and passed-their brutal piston scuff test. (Care to try it on your engine? Bring your coolant and oil temps to 230 degrees F, then run at 5,000 rpm for five minutes, 6,500 rpm for one minute and repeat-eight times.) In real-world testing, Kurt claims this example idled forever in the Florida heat during the Hot Rod Power Tour(tm), and the coolant temp never climbed above 205 degrees F. "Man, the way it sits now, you could drive this thing back to California tomorrow without a problem," Kurt says with the sound of satisfaction in his voice.
Whereas the engine is ultimate high-tech, the transmission is a simple, proven Powerglide "borrowed" from Kurt's wife's '68 Camaro, which served as his heads-up race car for many years. The suspension is equally simple, with Afco double-adjustable shocks but otherwise stock stuff up front (though W2W modified the upper A-arms to allow for additional caster). The car hooks with Smith Racecraft leaf springs and antirotation bars.
Kurt's bosses at W2W are pushing him to paint the car and make it nice, but so far he has resisted. That's good, since there's nothing better than seeing this grocery getter quietly pull up to the line and then rip off a mid-9-second quarter-mile. On the dragstrip, the Nova absolutely blows people's minds.
"In Gainesville [on Power Tour(tm)], they barely glanced at me or the car when I pulled up to the tech inspection," Kurt says. "I hardly rolled to a stop, somebody wrote a number on the back window, and I was gone. On my first run, I did a 10.19 at 141 mph, and everybody started freaking out. They were shouting, 'get that thing back in here.' I even had to show them my NHRA competition license." We'd call that a royal flush.
"The exhaust sounds like a low-compression 454 through a set of Flowmasters - nice and deep without any crackles or pops. And the superchargers are virtually silent. Even standing right next to it, you don't have a clue what's under the hood." -Kurt Urban
Quick Inspection: '72 Chevrolet Nova
Wheel To Wheel Powertrain - Madison Heights, Mi
Engine: The all-aluminum W2W 8.5:1 boost-ready LS2 has a 4.005 bore and 4.00 stroke to make 402 cid. It uses all the best parts, including a Callies crank, Howard's rods, Mahle pistons, and Total Seal rings. The main caps are upgraded to steel, and SCE O-ring-embedded copper gaskets seal the heads to the block. The Comp Cams solid roller provides 0.630-inch lift and what Kurt guesses is 250 degrees duration at 0.050 lift. Cam Motion lifters activate Smith Brothers 31/48-inch pushrods and Jesel rockers on the All Pro heads, which have Inconel exhaust and titanium intake valves. The intake is an Edelbrock single-plane mounting a Wilson Manifolds 90-degree elbow and 90mm throttle body. GM got in on the fun by supplying the timing components along with front and rear covers. Oiling is handled by an ARE cast-aluminum dry-sump pan, a Dailey two-stage dry-sump pump, and a Peterson reservoir, and ATI supplied the damper with dry-sump adapter. W2W made the aluminum valve covers in house. Then, of course, there are two Rotrex superchargers and the trick Big Stuff 3-managed Octane on Demand dual-fuel system that allows the 9-second car to be a comfortable, reliable daily driver.
Power: It makes 1,160 hp at 7,500 rpm and 825 lb-ft of torque.
Transmission: It's a Powerglide two-speed auto with a trans brake and electronic shift prepped for drag racing by W2W. Tapping the factory horn button performs the one-two shift. The torque converter is an ATI 5,000-stall unit, but experimentation with a higher stall speed is in the works.
Rearend: Mark Williams supplied the 9-inch Ford housing and axles, and the axletubes were fabricated at W2W. The gears are 4.30s.
Frame: It's all stock but with significant strengthening measures. The front subframe benefits from chrome-moly tubing for stiffness. The rollbar, unibody, and rear subframe are tied together as discreetly as possible.
Suspension: W2W mildly tweaked the upper A-arms for caster adjustment and mounted Afco double-adjustable shocks. Smith Racecraft leaf springs with antirotation bars and double-adjustable VariShock shocks suspend the rear.Brakes: Baer Serious Street four-wheel discs are used front and back.
Wheels: Factory 7.5x15 in front, 10.5x15 in the rear, custom-made by Stockton Wheel with the dish on the inside to look factory.
Tires: BFGoodrich 235/60R15s in front, Mickey Thompson 295/65R15 ET Street Radials in back, which are screwed to the rims to prevent rotation. Despite their size, they deceive the eye and don't ruin the effect.
Body: It's as it left the factory in 1972 plus a few dings and dents. The plastic outside corners of the front grille's nonfunctional louvers/vents have been opened up to provide fresh air to the K&Ns.
Paint: Slightly faded, 34-year-old GM #48 Green screams nothing.
Interior: Virtually stock, and that's the way they want it. The nearly invisible rollcage and a Vintage Air system make it deceptive. Due to the wheeltubs, the rear seat required a little customizing to maintain the factory look. It does.

When you put an 1,100hp motor in a 34-year-old unibody, you might want to reinforce those tired subframes a bit. Some 151/48-inch chromoly tubing was used for this purpose cleanly and effectively, and also to make room for the oil pan and crank pulley. True to the sleeper cause, everything was flat-blacked to avoid detection.The square tubing ties together the front and rear subframes and rollcage for maximum chassis stiffness. The round tubing creates a relief for exhaust clearance. Kurt was adamant about the exhaust not being visible underneath the car.Keep it simple, stupid. Smith Racecraft monoleaf springs and antirotation bars as well as VariShock shocks team with a Mark Williams 9-inch centersection and axles inside W2W-fabricated tubes. The combination has been bulletproof so far. The brakes are Baer's Serious Street single-piston calipers with drilled and slotted rotors.With the suspension out of the car, the 295/65R15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials were slid into the wheelwells to begin measuring. Notice the Detroit Speed shackle, which moved the leaf inboard for tire clearance.With the fuel and water cells removed, you can see the orientation of the rear rollcage bars and wheeltubs.One of the more impressive aspects of the car is the rollcage. Incredible effort went into creating a legal cage that is very difficult to detect from the outside the car.
Can you say grandma car? Note the discreetly cut slit in the seat for the five-point harness. The steering wheel horn button electronically controls the Powerglide's shift. The steering wheel cover looks as bad as it did in 1972. Gauges sit in the glovebox, and a few more hang discreetly from the roof.The tank on the right not only serves as the reservoir for the intercooler, but also cools the trans fluid and race gas. Note the line from the racing fuel tank (pump gas uses the factory tank) entering and passing through the left side of the coolant reservoir to cool the high-octane juice. The lines on the right of the tank route the trans fluid through a submerged trans cooler, its operation regulated by a 165-degree thermostat. Bosch fuel pumps and Aeromotive fuel filters move the fuel; the first pump does continuous-duty cycle and the second is boost switch-controlled to prevent fuel starvation. Both the tanks and plumbing were fabricated at W2W. A water-injection system is visible near the back left of the trunk but is only employed when running on pump gas alone.

So it's now three weeks into the new year. Did you start a resolution to improve your life?
Maybe you gave up smoking or joined a health club. Perhaps you resolved to eat out less or spend more time reading and less time in front of the TV. Those are all great resolutions, but I have one I promise will make you feel better than all of those and it's much easier: Resolve to save a life. Sound daunting? It's not.
No matter how little time, space or experience you have, you can help put an end to homeless pets in your community.
I know what you're saying: You don't have room to take in more dogs or cats. Or you don't have any experience working with animals. The truth is you don't have to have any of that, and in many cases, five minutes of your time could make a huge impact. The folks at Best Friends Animal Society, a national rescue organization based in Utah, offer up some great ideas to make a huge impact with just a little time. I'm sharing a few of my favorites.
Make your voice heard
Log on and join Voices for No More Homeless Pets. It takes two minutes, literally. After you sign up, you'll get e-mail alerts when there are issues or ordinances being considered in your area. You will also receive a form e-mail you can personalize to your local lawmakers making your voice heard. Sign up at YourVoice.Bestfriends.com
Search or Shop Online
Sign up at sites like GoodSearch.com or AdoptAShelter.com, which donate their revenue from your clicks to the rescue group of your choice. It doesn't cost you a penny, and it's something you already do anyway.
Use Facebook
Love to spend time on Facebook? Well, put a few minutes of that time to good use. Simply LIKE the Facebook page for one or more of the local rescue organizations, such as The Kentucky Humane Society, Animal Care Society or No Kill Louisville. Those are just three of many. After you sign up, simply "share" or "like" their content on your page and you will help spread the word. If you're really feeling energetic, ask to volunteer to help them update their pages. Fresh content means their posts for help and support will show up on more news feeds.
Clean your closets
Of course, this idea could help you accomplish two resolutions! Your local shelter probably needs a lot of things you'd never think of, but some of them are probably sitting unused in your closet. Items like towels and blankets and leashes or old crates your dogs don't use anymore might be very helpful to a shelter trying to preserve its budget. If you want specific ideas, call one of the shelters to find out what they need and then start your spring cleaning a couple months early. Also, you can take some of the clothes you don't wear anymore to a consignment shop and donate the proceeds to a shelter or rescue group.
Adopt – Don't Shop
This is by far the easiest idea. When and if it comes time to add a new furry member to your family, please adopt. I assure you, there is no better feeling than saving an animal's life, and you will get back far more than you will give.
I told you the ideas were easy, and most of them take no more than five minutes of your time. And imagine this: if each Voice-Tribune reader would donate five minutes of time, once a month we'd add hundreds of hours of volunteer effort to eliminating homeless pets. Just think what we could accomplish.

Freedom of Worship vs. Freedom of Religion
There is much ado lately about the few times in the past three years when President Obama or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used the phrase "freedom of worship" rather than "freedom of religion." The term was good enough for FDR to include in his Four Freedoms in a speech before Congress on January 6, 1941 - "the freedom of every person to worship God in his own way - anywhere in the world," as he wrote it himself. The same term is now Exhibit A for those prosecuting the charge that the Obama administration is set on subverting the freedom of religion.The case was made in 2010 atFirst Things:
Recently, both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been caught using the phrase freedom of worship in prominent speeches, rather than the freedom of religion the President called for in Cairo.If the swap-out occurred only once or twice, one might appropriately conclude it was merely a rhetorical accident. However, both the President and his Secretary of State have now replaced freedom of religion with freedom of worship too many times to seem inadvertent.
Rick Santorum is in on it, too:
"When you have the president of the United States referring to the freedom of religion, and you have the secretary of State referring to the freedom of religion, not as the freedom of religion but the freedom of worship, you should get very nervous, very nervous," he told students at Hope College, a Reformed Church school.
"Because there's a lot of tyrants around the world who will talk about freedom of worship, but they won't talk about freedom of religion. Freedom of worship is what you do within the four walls of the church. Freedom of religion is what you do outside the four walls of the church. What the president is now seeming to mold, in the image of other elitists who think that they know best, is to limit the role of faith in the public square and your role to live that faith out in your public and private lives."
But a quick check of government Web sites finds that, in fact, the Obama administration continually uses the phrase "freedom of religion." For example, Clinton started off her remarks at a conference last December by speaking of the need to protect "two fundamental freedoms the right to practice ones religion freely and the right to express ones opinion without fear." That would seem to cover the territory, twice over.
At the same time, as we strive to protect individuals from violence and discrimination because of their religion or their beliefs, we must also express the freedom of expression. Now, in the United States, we take that especially seriously because many of those who came to our country came for religious reasons. They came because they were being discriminated against or their religion was being outlawed. They started coming in the 17th century, and they still come all the way through the 21st century.
Well, how would one know that you were being discriminated against if you didnt have the right to freedom of expression? Your neighbor knows, well, that person is different from me because he or she believes differently. So the freedom of religion and the freedom of expression are absolutely bound up together [emphasis added].
One quickly finds steady use of the term "freedom of religion" on the White House Web site as well. "Our Nation's enduring commitment to the universal human right of religious freedom extends beyond our borders as we advocate for all who are denied the ability to choose and live their faith," President Obama said in a proclamation. " My Administration will continue to oppose growing trends in many parts of the world to restrict religious expression."There are many other examples - here and here and here and here and here and here and here and others. I could find only two references to "freedom of worship." Both paired the term with freedom of speech (as FDR also did).The terms "freedom of worship" and "freedom of religion" are often used interchangeably. There is a difference in meaning, but the effort to take a few remarks out of context and spin them into a massive conspiracy against civil rights - threatening enough to make us "get very nervous" - lacks a basis in reality.

I've not followed this little tempest, but my impression, in passing, is that what's being objected to is a sudden recent change in language. Are you saying that "freedom of religion" is turning up frequently in speeches and government handouts in the past few weeks?Of course, even if it was a conscious change with a sinister meaning behind it, now that it's been outed, it'll probably disappear.
I should have specified; the claim is that the shift came after Obama's speech in Cairo in 2009. There was attention to this in 2010, and it seems to have been picked up a lot in the past week or two.
Thanks for this Peter. I agree completely that this particular tempest is of little or no significance. It has made me start thinking though whether, when we talk about freedom internationally, a narrowing of freedom of religion might not be a desirable approach. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, freedom of religion means very different things for men as women. That phrase can be heard in many different ways in different parts of the world. Perhaps the rhetoric of freedom of worship rather than religion tout court wouldn't be the worst thing in the world given this situation.
Paul, I have no idea why I wrote Peter there. Sorry about that.
Well I think there is a difference between freedom of religion and freedom of worship because worship is a more limited concept than is religion, but the question is: Did FDR use freedom of worship when he meant freedom of religion. What is the cultural context of freedom of worship in the '30's and '40's and does it easily translate into freedom of religion? Today we speak of freedom of religion because we know there is religious pluralism. In this sense freedom of religion embraces freedom of worship. Does freedom of worship embrace, in the same way, freedom of religion? It may be a case of putting Descartes before the horse.
If the complaints started in 2009 and "worship" hasn't been consistent since then, this sounds made up. Perhaps it's a groping for tangible manifestations of something that people feel is there but can't quite put their fingers on. Could be that at some point the speech writers in several government cubbyholes decided to run "worship" up the flagpole and see who saluted, or maybe someone heard Obama say he preferred "worship" or maybe they just ran out of "religion"s and forgot to reorder.Of course, it could be that the people who noticed the "worship"s were particularly keen observers, able to correctly deduce a lot from what to most looked like a little. Mysteries abound.
Spotting half-baked ideas in among anti-Obamaites is too easy.
I'm so relieved to know the Administration uses both terms interchangeably...it makes them losing 9-0 in Hosana-Tabor so much more understandable. Take that, Justice Kagan.
I should have specified; the claim is that the shift came after Obamas speech in Cairo in 2009. Assuming the speech was addressed to the whole Islamic world, that would include countries like Saudi Arabia in which "freedom of worship" is banned by the government - no Christian churches can be built and no public Christian services can be held. Pressing for "freedom of worship" in those countries would be a practical advance over the present siutuation. It is less threatening than "freedom of religion" which sounds as if we would be asking Islamic countries to permit Christian missionaries to proseyltize in their countries and encourage Muslims to convert to Christianity - which would be both a sin of apostasy and, in some countries, a crime punishable by death. Cujus regio, eijus religio.
Im so relieved to know the Administration uses both terms interchangeablyit makes them losing 9-0 in Hosana-Tabor so much more understandable. Take that, Justice Kagan.Jeff Landry,The Hosanna-Tabor case was a holdover from the Bush Administration.
More partisanship 0n display -wil only get worse as 2012 moves on.Yuck!
More evidence of the right-wing echo chamber at work. Even the conversation here on this blog is a small victory for those who toil regularly to shape public discussion and debate."Hey, let's try and plant the idea out there in the blog-o-sphere that the Obama administration is in someway "anti-religion."Yet another confirmation of having learned how to read at age five, I made the choice not to be a Republican.
Interesting piece by Kevin Clarke (of America) in today's WaPo on "Lent, in a time of Catholic culture wars."http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/guest-voices/post/lent-in-a-time-of-...
David NickolRe: your comment (The Hosanna-Tabor case was a holdover from the Bush Administration) in response to Jeff Landrys comment about the Obama administrations position on Hosanna-Tabor that Jeff Landry.I presume you based that opinion on a comment made at law blog Mirror of Justice by brennan (which you quoted at the First Things website on 1/11/12 http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2012/01/11/the-administra... ). A subsequent comment by an anonymous poster, with which Richard Garnett agreed, refuted that claim. (See below the formers comment (A) followed by Professor Garnetts response (B):A:In response to brennan in particular, and to everyone regarding the federal government's position as extreme or not:brennan suggests that (1) a lack of extremism is shown by the case's origins in the Bush years and (2) the EEOC, not the administration, shares significant responsibility for the position taken. While both points might sound plausible, neither works here.(1) While the federal government/EEOC sided with Perich all along, it took the new, extreme position only at the Supreme Court. In the trial court and the appeals court, they accepted the existence of the ministerial exception, and argued only that Perich fell outside it on the facts of her case. When the case reached the Supreme Court, the federal government argued that the exception does not exist at all, other than as a "freedom of association" claim, with literally no difference from what a union or political party would have. That was the radical part, because it means that the Religion Clauses have no role here. It went beyond the EEOC position below. It went beyond the consensus in every circuit court, adopted by panels of "liberal" and "conservative" judges. It shocked several justices, such as Justice Kagan, who asked at oral argument about how radical that was.I believe that Prof. Garnett, along with most critics who labelled the federal government's position extreme, focused not just on the "siding with Perich" aspect, but on the specific argument that the exception does not exist at all. While I agree with Prof. Garnett that the position is extreme, and you are all free to disagree, the position cannot fairly be described as continuation of the litigation position below.(2) This position cannot be attributed much, if at all, to the EEOC. As I understand it, agency influence is highest at the trial court, where the decision is to file a complaint or not, to enforce or not on given facts, etc. It is lowest at the Supreme Court, where the Solicitor General is looking at a position that affects the entire government and the country. Agency influence is also highest regarding its regulations, medium regarding statutes relating to the agency, and lowest regarding constitutional law. The Solicitor does not give much weight to agency views regarding the First Amendment.The more relevant question is not the EEOC role, which is minimal at this stage, but the relative roles of the SG and the White House. The SG is often fairly independent, so one might see this as the SG's view rather than the White House's. However, evidence suggests that the White House's influence rises with a case's political sensitivity. Certainly that happened with the Bush White House counsel calling the SG on the Bollinger cases, and is happening now with health care.Therefore, this position does seem to be the Administration's, not the EEOC's, and it is definitely not the one taken by the EEOC in the same case earlier.---- end of A ---B: "another view" is correct: I did not suggest (and I have never heard anyone suggest) that it was "extreme" to side, at the outset of the litigation, with Perich. What was extreme -- and former Obama SG Justice Kagan agrees it was extreme -- was the position taken by the government in the Supreme Court.---------------------- Also, in regard to Paul Moses' reference to a First Things article on the use of freedom of worship as having been made this week, the article was published in February 2010. In a subsequent comment Moses correctly notes that the claim is that the shift came after Obamas speech in Cairo in 2009 and added There was attention to this in 2010, and it seems to have been picked up a lot in the past week or two. That does not read as an acknowledgement that the article was written in February 2010 and addressed speeches made up to that time. But in any event, the entire article, which references Thomas Farr as an authority, is well worth reading. An excerpt:As Tom Farr, Professor of Religion and World Affairs at Georgetown University and the former head of the State Departments International Religious Freedom Office, stated at a recent congressional hearing forecasting international religious freedom issues to watch in 2010, Those of us in the business of sniffing out rats know that this is a rhetorical shift to watch. Freedom of worship first appeared in a high profile speech in Obamas remarks at the memorial for the victims of the Fort Hood shooting last November, a few months after his Cairo speech. Speaking to the crowd gathered to commemorate the victims, President Obama said, We're a nation that guarantees the freedom to worship as one chooses. Given the religious tension that marked the tragic incident, it was not an insignificant event at which to unveil a new way of referring to our First Freedom.Shortly after his remarks at Ft. Hood, President Obama left for his trip to Asia, where he repeatedly referred to freedom of worship, and not once to freedom of religion.Not long after his return, freedom of worship appeared in two prominent speeches delivered by Secretary Clinton. In her address to Georgetown University outlining the Obama Administrations human rights agenda she used freedom of worship three times, freedom of religion, not once. About a month later, in an address to Senators on internet freedom at the Newseum, the phrase popped up in her lingo once again.To anyone who closely follows prominent discussion of religious freedom in the diplomatic and political arena, this linguistic shift is troubling.The reason is simple. Any person of faith knows that religious exercise is about a lot more than freedom of worship. Its about the right to dress according to ones religious dictates, to preach openly, to evangelize, to engage in the public square. Everyone knows that religious Jews keep kosher, religious Quakers dont go to war, and religious Muslim women wear headscarvesyet freedom of worship would protect none of these acts of faith.BTW, as for Thomas Farrs credentials, see http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/people/thomas-farr
Sorry for the error re the date of the First Things article; it was 2010.
The reason is simple. Any person of faith knows that religious exercise is about a lot more than freedom of worship. Its about the right to dress according to ones religious dictates, to preach openly, to evangelize,Ay, and there's the rub. Your chance of making any progress on convincing Saudi Arabia to allow non-Muslims to evangelize in their country is about zero. Your chance of getting them to allow 'freedom of worship" has at least some chance of getting somewhere. It's important to distinguish between messages discussing the United States, where we already have committed to 'freedom of religion," and messages addressed to foreign countries that haven't made it even as far of "freedom of worship".
From the Gipper:Ronald Reagan. In the first two quotes he may have been conscious that that he waqs talking about foreign countries. IN the last, he was talking about America, but probably didn't attach any deep significance to using "freedom of worship" rather than "freedom of religion" Speaking at the United Nations on Jan. 30, 1988, he condemned the Evil Empire.Religious intolerance, particularly in the Soviet Union, continues to deprive millions of the freedom to worship as they choose.And heres the Gipper, speaking at the Vatican after meeting with Pope John Paul II:Perhaps its not too much to hope that true change will come to all countries that now deny or hinder the freedom to worship God. And perhaps well see that change comes through the reemergence of faith, through the irresistible power of a religious renewal. For despite all the attempts to extinguish it, the peoples faith burns with a passionate heat; once allowed to breathe free, that faith will burn so brightly it will light the world.And the Great Communicator, again, at the 1988 Republican Convention:I know Ive said this before, but I believe that God put this land between the two great oceans to be found by special people from every corner of the world who had that extra love for freedom that prompted them to leave their homeland and come to this land to make it a brilliant light beam of freedom to the world. Its our gift to have visions, and I want to share that of a young boy who wrote to me shortly after I took office. In his letter he said, I love America because you can join Cub Scouts if you want to. You have a right to worship as you please. If you have the ability, you can try to be anything you want to be. And I also like America because we have about 200 flavors of ice cream. Well, truth through the eyes of a child: freedom of association, freedom of worship, freedom of hope and opportunity, and the pursuit of happiness in this case, choosing among 200 flavors of ice cream thats America, everyone with his or her vision of the American promise.http://biblebeltblogger.com/index.php/religion/dont-these-obama-haters-h...
YES! Freedom of religion and freedom FROM religion.The definition of a destructive religious cult is like alcoholism-if booze controls you instead of the other way around you are an alcoholic.The Watchtower society Jehovah's Witnesses as an example is not benevolent and won't let you leave their organization in peace.If they try to ruin your reputation and break up your family for trying to get out then they are a cult!Whenever you surrender your logic and reason to anyone who asks you to trust them because they know better and to please donate generously, it's a cult. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.... -Danny Haszard http://www.dannyhaszard.com
The latest from the White House. They must be reading the blog...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEFebruary 23, 2012 Statement by the Press Secretary on the Case of Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms reports that Iranian authorities reaffirmed a death sentence for Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani for the sole reason of his refusal to recant his Christian faith. This action is yet another shocking breach of Irans international obligations, its own constitution, and stated religious values. The United States stands in solidarity with Pastor Nadarkhani, his family, and all those who seek to practice their religion without fear of persecutiona fundamental and universal human right. The trial and sentencing process for Pastor Nadarkhani demonstrates the Iranian governments total disregard for religious freedom, and further demonstrates Iran's continuing violation of the universal rights of its citizens. The United States calls upon the Iranian authorities to immediately lift the sentence, release Pastor Nadarkhani, and demonstrate a commitment to basic, universal human rights, including freedom of religion. The United States renews its calls for people of conscience and governments around the world to reach out to Iranian authorities and demand Pastor Nadarkhani's immediate release.
PS: The boldface is mine.
Obviously the two phrases freedom of worship and freedom of religion are not the same thing.Freedom of worship refers to belonging to the church you choose, an important matter to be sure.Freedom of religion is the broader phrase of the two. It includes the freedom of worship of course, but it also refers more generally to actions taken by a person in the name of ones religion e.g., evangelization, social services, education, charity work.
Here are the articles of the Iranian constitution regarding the offial religion non-Muslims rights:"Article 12. [Official Religion]The official religion of Iran is Islam and the Twelver Ja'fari school, and this principle will remain eternally immutable. Other Islamic schools are to be accorded full respect, and their followers are free to act in accordance with their own jurisprudence in performing their religious rites. These schools enjoy official status in matters pertaining to religious education, affairs of personal status(marriage, divorce, inheritance, and wills) and related litigation in courts of law. In regions of the country where Muslims following any one of these schools constitute the majority, local regulations, within the bounds of the jurisdiction of local councils, are to be in accordance with the respective school, without infringing upon the rights of the followers of other schools.Article 13 [Recognized Religious Minorities]Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Christian Iranians are the only recognized religious minorities, who, within the limits of the law, are free to perform their religious rites and ceremonies, and to act according to their own canon in matters of personal affairs and religious education.Article 14 [Non-Muslims' Rights]In accordance with the sacred verse "God does not forbid you to deal kindly and justly with those who have not fought against you because of your religion and who have not expelled you from your homes" [60:8], the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and all Muslims are duty-bound to treat non-Muslims in conformity with ethical norms and the principles of Islamic justice and equity, and to respect their human rights. This principle applies to all who refrain from engaging in conspiracy or activity against Islam and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This one is not complicated.Anyone can readily see that the two phrases 'freedom of worship' and 'freedom of religion' do not mean the same thing.
Did anyone else note the irony in the language of the poster in the article?Save Religious Freedom.Buy War Bonds.I think the bishops have taken that advice literally.Up on the barricades!
Oops, I guess it actually said Save Freedom of Worship.No mention of warships, ecclesiastical or otherwise, though.
I suppose my view is that actions are more important than rhetoric. Whether they are examples of some conscious long-term attempt by the Administration to downgrade religious liberty, or whether they are standalone incidents, the HHS mandate is a problem, and the government's prosecution of Hosanna-Tabor was worrisome. But let me counterbalance that by pointing to this Steve Chapman column from yesterday. Headline: "Obama's Defense of Religion". Subhead: "How he's expanded freedom for the faithful". In reading the column, it's helpful to keep in mind that Chapman is conservative, with Libertarian tendencies, and so is not always overly sympathetic to the President. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/ct-oped-0223-chapman-20120..., my take on the President is that he's got a religious dimension to his personal make-up, and it's a dimension that fits pretty comfortably with the Christian Left. Think contemporary mainline Protestant. I don't consider him to be an aggressive secularist, although aggressive secularists are political allies of his because psychographically he seems like one of them in many other ways, and politically he may need their support to win in November. Just as he needs support from progressive women. I believe this state of affairs accounts for the HHS mandate, Hosanna-Tabor, and the instances that Chapman describes.
I agree, Jim Pauwels. Actions are what actually count. As your your post and the link to the Trib show, it's more complicated than the two sides let on. Thanks.
I don't understand why the governments prosecution of Hosanna-Tabor is seen as "worrisome." It's not like the government set out to take away rights. A lay teacher was fired because of an illness and brought her case to the EEOC, whose job it is to pursue such cases. (Normally, I would think people of faith would be in favor of protecting people who get fired because of illness.) The EEOC lost the suit and appealed, won the appeal, and lost again at the Supreme Court. A very fine line was drawn, to include lay teachers as "ministers."Going forward, I assume Catholic lay teachers (for example) will have a harder time pursuing redress if fired. A two-edged sword; a very grey case. How can this in any way be seen as worrisome, as an attack on religion?
Hosanna-Tabor is also something begun under Bush, and like usual, the talking voices make it as something of Obama and his plan to destroy religious liberty. Silly, isn't it?
Hi, Jeanne and Henry, please see the lengthy comment/quotes provided by Michael J Kelly above. The content of the Solicitor General's argument before the Supreme Court is worrisome. If that argument reflects White House views on religious liberty, it is more worrisome.
JimOnce again, this was a Bush-era case which was being argued. So are you going to tell us Bush was secretly working to destroy religion in America now? Ignoring this and to make it all about Obama demonstrates the norm of Obama's detractors and shows why we can't have an honest conversation of the problem in America as a whole. The people screaming the most about religious liberty have been silent (or demanding its removal for others) for a long time now.
I think Jim Pauwels summary of the President's character has it basically right -- if one can really understand another's religious motivations. I've read that his theology is very Barthian which I don't understand), but it seems to include a relatively indeterminate concept of God and His relationship to the world, which at times, at any rate, allows for some contradictory moral judgments -- when you just dont' know what the will of God is, then what do you do? For politicians this must be a constant problem. They are constantly having to make moral decisions, and I can see how they might be tempted to waver about principles, or at least waver about which principles to apply.I don't share the common American idea that all politicians are greedy power-grabbing dummies. I think some of them really want to be public servants and to what is right. Hillary Clinton (of whom I haven't been a fan) is a particularly good example of a politician inspired by her religious beliefs. But who knows, (I'm starting to sound like David Smith :-)
"Once again, this was a Bush-era case which was being argued. So are you going to tell us Bush was secretly working to destroy religion in America now?"Henry - no.Read Michael J Kelly's comment above, particularly the paragraphs pertaining to the Supreme Court argument. The claim is that the federal government's position in front of the Supreme Court (argued by the Obama Administration) is quite different - and more worrisome - than its position at lower levels.
JimThe "claim is" we can dismiss the origins of the case. That's absurd. It was a Bush era case. This is exactly the problem -- the blindness involved with the claims about Obama, always painting him with things the GOP themselves did (and often did worse) and then making it as a new, evil campaign never heard of in US history.
It's worth noting that the SC decision in Hosanna-Tabor was quite narrow:The case before us is an employment discrimination suit brought on behalf of a minister, challenging her churchs decision to fire her. Today we hold only that the ministerial exception bars such a suit. We express no view on whether the exception bars other types of suits, including actions by employees alleging breach of contract or tortious conduct by their religious employers. There will be time enough to address the applicability of the exception to other circumstances if and when they arise.***The interest of society in the enforcement of employment discrimination statutes is undoubtedly important. But so too is the interest of religious groups in choosing who will preach their beliefs, teach their faith, and carry out their mission. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-553.pdf
Narrow, John, perhaps, but ample and sufficient. The executive branch had argued in a direction the entire Court found wrong. There's something odd about that. Either the President had very bad counsel or, what? Were they probing the Court, looking for ways to more profitably pursue other similar cases in the future? Were they making a gesture to please some people, knowing they'd lose but not caring? I have no idea, but something doesn't ring true.
This is issue has arisen since the mandate of employer-provided birth control, and that such birth control providence is mandated even to faith-based institutions that teach against birth control; specifically Catholic- owned and operated hospitals and medical centers. The problem is not only the different terms, but the fact that the left, including David Axlerod and other liberals , have actually defined in their own words what "Freedom of Worship" means. They have openly remarked that "freedom of worship" is only that which is done and observed within the physical walls of a temple, church, synagogue or mosque. There is an actual, real and active effort to remove true open religious expression, and relegate freedom of religion to one's weekly house of worship choice.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session
April 12, 2010
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet session at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh today. At the outset, the King briefed the Cabinet on talks he held with visiting Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, praising the depths of Saudi-Iraqi bilateral relations. He reiterated the Kingdom's support for Iraq's territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty. The King then described his other consultations with foreign officials last week, including meetings with Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet and former U.S. President Bill Clinton; messages received from Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa and Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah; and a telephone conversation with Egyptian President Mohammed Hosni Mubarak.
After listening to reports on regional and international developments, the Cabinet offered its condolences to the government and people of Poland following the death in a plane crash of Polish President Lech Kaczynski and a number of other Polish officials and citizens.
The ministers then reviewed the scientific, cultural, social and economic activities held during the past few days in the Kingdom, notably the 8th National Meeting for Intellectual Dialogue held in Najran from 23 to 25/04/1431 H. under the theme "Society and Health Services." They also discussed the meeting of Saudi ambassadors and heads of missions abroad currently being held in Riyadh.
Turning to its agenda, the Cabinet approved a number of measures pertaining to the reorganization of the National Commission for the Implementation of the Kingdom's Commitments to the Conventions on the Prohibition of Weapons of Mass Destruction; approved measures concerning the continued escalation of domestic barley prices; approved the establishment of diplomatic relations with Colombia at the level of Non-Resident Ambassador; approved licensing the "Al-Jazeera Takaful" joint stock company; and authorized the Minister of Health to sign a draft memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the health field with the Belgian Ministry of Health.
The Cabinet approved the appointments of Dr. Ibrahim Al-Butthi as Mayor Undersecretary for Services at the Riyadh Municipality (15th rank); Jamal Aqeel as Ambassador at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Abdulaziz Abu Haimed, Ahmed Al-Barak and Jamal Rafh as Minister Plenipotentiary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Saad Al-Saaidan as Deputy Director General of the Department for Executive Affairs at the Department of Zakat and Income Tax (14th rank); and Nasser Al-Thaiban as Tax Advisor at the Department of Zakat and Income Tax (14th rank).

I've been scouring the web for a slider that offers a particular effect, but I can't find one. I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help out...
Specifically, I need a slider that will slide left and right through a series of HTML DIVs. However, I also need the old slide to fade out as it slides.
This is because I don't what to have a visible frame around the the slider, so I don't want the old slide to be cropped against an invisible edge.
It's hard to explain in words, so here's a graphic. In each case the green slide is entering the view, the red one is existing.
Is possible, I'd like the slide to use CSS3 transitions where available for the smoothest possible effect.
Has only ever come across such a beast?
