Skip to comments.Sen. Allen's Journey Of Racial Conciliation (apologizing for slavery)
Posted on 05/01/2006 9:11:01 AM PDT by Crackingham
On a weekend pilgrimage to this town that was once the center of massive resistance to desegregation, Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) said he believes a congressional resolution expressing remorse for slavery would be a "powerful, worthy" idea.
Allen, who is running for reelection while considering a 2008 presidential bid, was in Farmville over the weekend as part of a racial reconciliation trip organized by the bipartisan Faith and Politics Institute. Also participating in the pilgrimage was Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a leader in the civil rights movement. Allen pledged to work with Lewis to build support among colleagues and the public for the resolution.
Allen's comments were notable because some black leaders and political opponents have long accused him of racial insensitivities. Before he ran for governor in 1993, he kept a Confederate flag in a cabin near his Charlottesville home, part of a collection of flags, he has said. He once displayed a noose in his law office, which he said was part of a homage to the West. And he stirred controversy as governor by issuing a proclamation noting the South's celebration of Confederate History Month in April, without mentioning slavery.
Allen said he has gotten a lesson in the importance of symbols, including the Confederate flag. "I have learned over time what that flag means," he said. "To me, it didn't mean what it means to some people. . . . I looked at it more as anti-establishment, renegade, rebelliousness. But I have learned . . . when you look at how that flag has been appropriated by hate groups. I don't ever want to hurt people or in any way make them feel bad about one thing or another."

The left must be concerned, they are starting their 'twisting' of news against Allen.
Oh great, an institution (Congress) that didn't hold slaves apologizing on behalf of long-dead people who did hold slaves to people who were never slaves during their lives.
How helpful.
Maybe next, Congress can move on to less important issues, like a balanced budget amendment to the constitution, or real border control, etc.
To quote Anthony Cumia, "Waddle doodle, I apologize! Bone dry!"
Allen, as usual, will pander.
Didn't Bill Clinton already do that during his term? Doesn't Senator Allen have anything else to do?
What about Robert KKK Byrd??
My President Allen is Geena Davis.
Please don't do this. You're a Republican. That means you are one of the good guys; your party fought slavery, and opposed Jim Crow all during the bad old days.
This is a teaching opportunity, to educate a generation that doesn't, thank God, really remember the bad old days, to remind them that while the Democrats still engage in ethnic politics and still pander to racial stereotypes, the Republicans continue to believe in color-blind citizenship. We are right where we have always been.
So for God's sake, don't apologize. Educate.
YOU are dang lucky that your ancestors were brought to the U.S. to be slaves hundreds of years ago. For one thing, it was your black brothers in Africa that sold your great great great great great great great grandparents to the white Europeans who brought you to the United States, before there even was a United States. There were no slave ships in the time after the U.S. Revolutionary War. All slave ships predate the U.S..
And have you looked at Africa lately? Would you really want to live there? By all means, if past slavery makes it so impossible for you to live in this country, by all means leave. Here's what you get to look forward to in your great home called Africa; disease, famine, rampant ethnic cleansing, and more. If the muslims aren't trying to kill you there because you aren't muslim, then some tribal hundreds year old conflict is raging trying to kill you. And if not that, you'll die of hunger, or one of hundreds of rampant diseases, a large animal or any number of snakes that go where they please, or a lack of any kind of decent sanitation in most of the continent. You should thank your lucky stars your ancestors were brought here to be slaves, even though slavery was and is dead wrong and just about the worst thing one human can do to another. But bottom line, if there was no slavery, it's doubtful that even half of the blacks in the U.S. who did not immigrate here the past hundred years would even be alive, as it's quite a long shot that all those generations of their ancestors the past 300+ years would have actually survived in Africa to have had them or their parents, etc so on.
That's reality. Not popular. Not pretty. But reality. Congress has no business wasting time on an apology being made for mistakes made for people dead for over 100 years. Especially since the people who made the mistakes weren't even Americans. The people who made the initial mistakes, well their ancestors mostly live in Europe, in Spain, England, and France. Congress should be worrying about the war and rampant illegal flow across our borders which is a perfect cover for terrorist incursions across our border with nuclear or biological weapons, and certainly not wasting any time on apologies for things that the United States had no part in starting. What a waste of time. I'm disappointed Senator Allen would even consider it. All this P.C. warm fuzzy crap in the face of sheer stupidity is really getting tiresome.
Holy mackeral! I've been leaning toward Allen, in part because his dad was one whale of a football coach (hated him, of course because I was a rabid Cowboy fan). I thought some of George Allen's persistence and heart might have rubbed off.
But I'm with you; we've had all the fake apologies that are needed.
I wonder where Allen's protesting today...
Perhaps apologizing the enslavement to rising taxes we all pay to pay for illegals and their childen would be more appropriate.
Will this ever end?
Not likely any time soon, since certain race-hucksters have a vested interest in keeping the hate going.
No doubt...Why we have politicians that want to keep reliving the 60's is beyond me...
Allen PING..............
Here we go again.....~~~~~SIGH~~~~
Next he'll be accused of smoking cigs or of protecting big tobacco.
Perhaps it wouldn't.
Don't forget..........he chews tobacco!!!!
I haven't seen his schedule yet, but I'm hoping he will be attending Wednesday's Seafood Festival on Chincoteague. It is an election year, so I will guess he will be there.
I am sick of this "apologizing" nonsense.
Of course, when Clinton went to Africa and apologized for the US not doing something (I can't even remember what supposed sin the US committed that he felt compelled to apolgize for it), the liberal dinosaur media thought it was greatest thing since canned beer.
Clinton gets a pass; Allen gets raked over the coals for pandering.
I'm sick of the whole thing.
Oh, yeah.
Yep. All Republicans are evil.
Let me clarify that I am a son (small "S" I don't belong to the group) of the Confederacy. I have lived my entire life in Virginia, except for four years in Kentucky in college. My first day of school was the first day schools were integrated in my county.
That said, I just don't get the reactions to this. Not even enough to try to debate it.
These measures are largely (granted, not entirely) symbolic. An olive branch if you will. I don't have a problem with them.
Every thing to lose, nothing to gain.
He could have offered an olive branch without beating himself with it.
Poor judgement on the part of the hacks that advise him like the time he teamed up publicly with MZ Bradey on the "Anti Assault" weapons bill.
I suppose you have a source for that misstatement?
"This election matters because George Allen says it's okay to bring deadly weapons into recreation centers," said Mrs. Brady. "How can allowing firearms into recreation centers keep our children safe? If George Allen wants to send guns into recreation centers in Virginia, I can't imagine what he will do for our country. Chuck Robb, on the other hand, shows tremendous leadership when he stands up to the gun lobby and he does so time after time."
Sarah Brady in a 2000 Press Release.
P8riot posted a good summary of the FACTS about George Allen's 2nd Amendment position here.
This is nonsense, utter nonsense.
I know I'll never win this argument here on FR. But I just don't see it that way.
Slavery was wrong. The demand for Reparations is wrong.
Trying to seek some resolution in between is not. A apology costs us nothing.
Flame away.
Agreed, on both points.
Trying to seek some resolution in between is not. A apology costs us nothing.
Vehemently disagree.
I would ask, why is Allen doing this now? If he thinks it to be such a noble and warranted action why didn't he propose it last year? Five years ago? Or when he first became a U.S. senator? Or when he was the governor of Virginia, the state that had the preponderance of slaves?
Don't you find it even the least suspicious that he proposes this immediately after the silly report of his wearing a Rebel pin as a high schooler?
He is not going to get the black vote any way, and I'll tell you another thing, most blacks couldn't care less if the Confederate flag is displayed or not.
Senator Allen is too good of a representative, and a man, to be cowering like this.
Flame away.
Sorry Mr. Stormhands, for that to occur you would first have to gain my disrespect. A very unlikely likelihood.
Last year he co-sponsored the Senate resolution apologizing for lynching (that's a ~slight~ paraphrase).
Whatever the timing, whatever the reasoning, I'm ~fairly certain~ this is not just in response to the hit piece.
His pandering will NOT get him one additional black or liberal vote. He will only LOSE support from conservatives who are sick and tired of this guilt crap from something that happened generations before ANY of us living now--not to mention that what they were doing what was legal at the time.
This perpetual guilt crap has got to stop. GET OVER IT ALREADY,,, GEEEZ!
What's next? A formal apology to all women because they could not vote 200 years ago? This liberal, self-flaggelation, pandering and never-ending guilt trip for something that NO ONE ALIVE ever did,,,MUST STOP. It just never ends.
How about this for an alternative? Congress passes an APOLOGY resolution--in exchange for BANNING all "Reverse Discrimation" (aka affirmative action)? Sounds fair to me.
It does not matter how many times anyone apologizes - those on the left will always think thew wittow feewings awe huwt (that is my best Elmer Fudd impression : ).
I heard and was shocked, Allen telling Fox News that he wanted more immigration not less.
If he continues to move to the left I will really start to rethink my support.

Rather than pay $1800 for the built-in 7" DVD players in my new minivan, I did some research & found this item. Not only does it have larger screens, but it plays Blu-Ray discs, and for only a small fraction of the price of the OEM units. Setup was a snap, and my kids are in heaven. They are so quiet that it actually makes driving long distances a pleasure! The only downside is that the cables are relatively short, so you might need to buy longer replacement ones in order to hide the cables & make a neat installation. Not a major issue, though, and in a car or SUV, it probably wouldn't be an issue at all. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase, Wal-Mart had a much better price on the same item as the major online retail sites, and using the Site-To-Store shipping was quick and easy. Highly recommended!
Used for about a month now. Image is very good and I havent had any problems so far.
Pros: it has played several different Blu-rays and DVDs without problems. Both screens look great. The sound is high pitched because of small speakers, but this is good because it is not washed out by road noise. The volume is sufficient. HDMI out let's you watch on big TVs. Main unit has built in stand. Other than the wires, it really looks good mounted. My kids LOVE it! Note: The pros outweigh the cons. I recommend it. Cons:
1)You can't use the screens as monitors for things like smart phones, iPads, or Xbox. The main screen has no input, and the other screen has 2 analog mini plug inputs for video and audio. You may get the second screen to work, but you will have to have some unique adapters.
2) wires are not long enough to let you hide them under the upholstery, so they are ugly and tend to get kicked out by little feet.
3) the USB option is a joke: I spent hours trying to format the DVDs that I had ripped to the computer. The manual provides no instructions. In my experience it only reads DVI (not .mov or .mp4) and only in 4:3 format. I had to dramatically lower resolution from HD to 640x480. What is strange is that the screens are 16:9 aspect. The result is low resolution, black lines above and below, and then the image is stretched to fit the screen! You cannot change the aspect ratio on these screens either, so get used to the weird image. It is in desperate need of a firmware update, but the manual and website do not provide any evidence that one exists. Maybe it works better with DIVX format. Good luck, or just use the discs because they look great.
Easy to attach to the back of the car seats with straps provided. Our vehicle had a 12v hookup in the back, otherwise the power has to stretch back from the front of the vehicle and may not reach (did not in our motorhome). Consider buying a second power cord for home use as you need power to both unit and it only comes with AC unit. Only one unit plays the actual DVD/Blu Ray and the other only watches. We had the kids take turns running the unit and picking the movie. Ease of use is excellent if you read the directions first.
I bought this player because it was the only Blu RAy portable player that I could find. My family was going on a very long car ride, and I thought "WOW, perfect". Well, the second screen stopped working on the secong day. We could get it to work a bit if we giggled the AV cord, but after a while we just got a blue screen. I have tried and tried to find the AV cable, but even Philips themselves say it is no longer available. The disc drive spinning sound is quite loud, and the audio is low. You must use headphones.
I bought this blu-ray player with dual screen for my family since we travel a lot on the road. It plays perfectly fine with very good sound coming out of the speakers. Very easy to set up in the car or at home use. I connected the player to my hdtv using the hdmi connection and it works great. I'm glad that it has a remote because the dvd model that came before it does not have a remote. I just wish that philips would make a tv tuner that you can connect to the device so you can watch local hd channels on the go.
I originally purchased these DVD players because they had such good reviews. Maybe mine are just defective but for some reason the main screen picture gets all messed up. The other screen will be perfectly fine though. It doesn't do it all the time but it's definitely not something I can just let go. :/
This DVD player everything work for us but u can't play two different ones .

A recent Pew Research Center study shows that moderates are moving away from the party structure, leaving the Republican and Democratic parties to the people who tend to be unwavering in their opinions.
Republicans are more polarized than Democrats, according to the study. Democrats attract moderates and conservatives more than Republicans attract liberals and moderates.
So which came first? A polarized government? Polarized media? Or polarized people?

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
by J.K. Rowling
Mrs. Black's Portrait
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
All of Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place seems designed to remind Sirius of the dark years of his childhood, with its gloomy, pest-ridden rooms and the Black family tree with his name burned off. But the one object that really drives home exactly how much of an outsider Sirius is to his own family is the portrait of his mother that hangs in the entrance hall of Number Twelve.
Every time someone makes too much noise or disturbs the portrait in any way, the painted Mrs. Black will start shrieking catchphrases the real Mrs. Black enjoyed: nonsense about blood traitors and filth that clearly gets to Sirius. Mrs. Black's portrait is not a fully realized character, since her responses seem automatic and not complex. Instead, her constant shrieking if anyone in the house speaks too loud underlines how trapped Sirius is at Number Twelve. If he moves a muscle out of turn, the house itself starts to yell abuse at him. No wonder he goes stir crazy over the course of a year imprisoned there.

Saul Levenson Dies
January 8, 2007-- Home Textiles Today,
Montreal-- Saul Levenson, the founder of Commonwealth Home Fashions, died peacefully, in his 86th year, after a battle with cancer.
Levenson had served in the Commonwealth Squadron of the Royal Air Force, and honored his colleagues by naming his business Commonwealth Curtain Co. upon its founding in 1946. The company supplies North American retailers with window treatments and bed coverings.
"He will be sadly missed," said Barry Goodman, vp national accounts of Commonwealth."He was well known, a great philanthropist who did a lot for the community — an icon here in the city."
One of the lighter points of Levenson's legacy, Goodman said, is Montreal 's Herring and Schnapps Golf Tournament, a successful fundraiser for decades now, which supports the Miriam Home Foundation.
The funeral service will be held on Tuesday, January 9 at 12 noon , and burial will be at the Bassarabier Hebrew Cemetery , de la Savane.
Levenson's family has asked that donations in his memory be made to Miriam Home Foundation, 8160 Royden Road , Town of Mount Royal, QC / H4P 2T2 ; (514) 345-1300.

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - Priests at Nepal's most revered Hindu
temple say the government's appointment of two head priests is an
unacceptable political interference in religion.
The government, led by Nepal's former communist rebels, named the two priests Thursday to lead the temple in Katmandu. The move was met with immediate condemnation by other Hindu priests who tried to block the government appointees from entering the holy site but were thwarted by police.
The other priests have since refused to take part in religious ceremonies.
Nepal's king traditionally appoints the country's top priests, but the monarchy was abolished last year and the laws are not clear on who now holds the power to appoint priests.

Conventional photometric stereo recovers one normal direction per pixel of the input image. This fundamentally limits the scale of recovered geometry to the resolution of the input image, and cannot model surfaces with subpixel geometric structures. In this paper, we propose a method to recover subpixel surface geometry by studying the relationship between the subpixel geometry and the reflectance properties of a surface. We first describe a generalized physically-based reflectance model that relates the distribution of surface normals inside each pixel area to its reflectance function. The distribution of surface normals can be computed from the reflectance functions recorded in photometric stereo images. A convexity measure of subpixel geometry structure is also recovered at each pixel, through an analysis of the shadowing attenuation. Then, we use the recovered distribution of surface normals and the surface convexity to infer subpixel geometric structures on a surface of homogeneous material by spatially arranging the normals among pixels at a higher resolution than that of the input image. Finally, we optimize the arrangement of normals using a combination of belief propagation and MCMC based on a minimum description length criterion on 3D textons over the surface. The experiments demonstrate the validity of our approach and show superior geometric resolution for the recovered surfaces.

You're already hauling a sleeping pad in your backpack, so why shouldn't that sleeping pad double as a chair? Crazy Creek created the AirChair Plus Camp Chair as the answer to this question and the solution to your stump-squating, rock-sitting seating issues at camp. Crazy Creek just took the full-length sleeping pad, added side clips, and used highly durable material to create the shell. Just unroll the the pad, inflate it, clip the head of the pad to the foot and you've got a chair; when it's time to sleep just unclip the sides and the pad lies flat. The whole kit weighs less than three pounds, and rolls up nice and tight so you can stash it in the back of the car or strap it to the outside of your backpack.
- Dual-use chair and sleeping pad combination
- Sides unclip and chair converts to a full-length sleeping pad
- Pad inflates with air to 2.5-inches thick
- Rolls up to a compact size for easy carrying
- Item #CRZ0029

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts Takes the World by Storm
Look out, Four Seasons. Shangri-La, the largest operator in Asia of deluxe hotels (raking in revenue of about $1 billion a year) is coming to Europe. According to a recent IHT article, the Hong Kong-based company is "on a major expansion spree, with 44 new hotels to be developed over the next four years, and the company is still seeking more sites." Indeed, the chief executive, Giovanni Angelini, personally scouted the ideal spot in Paris for Shangri-La's first luxury hotel in Europe: the historic palace of Prince Roland Bonaparte near the Trocadero. The hotel group is also looking at major American cities and European capitals. Significantly, Shangri-La is the largest operator of luxury hotels in China and is planning to double its current 20 hotels by 2010. To quote Angelini:
"By the year 2020, it is expected there will be more than 100 million Chinese travelers," he said. "Can you imagine the impact? Japan has made a tremendous impact in the industry and it never reached more than 17 million travelers.
Chef Alain Ducasse to Open New Restaurant at St. Regis Hotel, New York

We're talking about the only guy in the world to own and operate three signature restaurants each honored with three Michelin stars. (Starwood is pleased as pie about this new arrangement.) The restaurant will open in March 2007 and will also feature a wine bar. The St. Regis Hotel, New York isn't exactly a shabby address: the majestic property was recently named the number one hotel in the world by the readers of Institutional Investor, the first New York hotel to win the top spot in the survey's 25-year history.

Amangani in Winter: The Ultimate Ski Experience, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Start making plans now for the coming ski season. The ultra-luxurious Amangani is the place to be, ranked among the top après-ski destinations in the world and also consistently voted the nation's best spa by readers of Conde Nast Traveler. Set atop East Gros Ventre Butte, Amangani offers panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks around Grand Teton National Park. This is one of America's last true wilderness refuges, and guests can view the magnificent wildlife—elk, bison, bighorn sheep, mule deer and the occasional moose seek the sanctuary of the National Elk Refuge when snow blankets the higher altitudes—by cross-country skis or snowshoes. Jackson Hole's Rendezvous and Apres Vous mountains offer a host of excellent skiing and snowboarding opportunities. Amangani's private Ski Lounge is conveniently located below Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's Bridger Gondola at the base of Rendezvous mountain, a quick 20-minute complimentary transfer from the resort. The Ski Lounge is staffed with a ski valet to assist with rentals and other details, and provides boot and glove warmers, ski racks, baskets for ski gloves, mittens and goggles to ensure that all equipment stays dry and comfortable. Soak up the warm après-ski ambience back at Amangani, sipping a hot toddy, mulled wine or ginger tea by the large fireplaces while gazing out the two-storey window wall at the Snake River range. And of course the award-winning spa is a welcome retreat after a day on the slopes, featuring slate-lined steam rooms, luxurious spa treatments, and the stunning 35-meter open-air pool, warm enough to be enjoyed all year round.
Golf for Women: Pinehurst Golf Resort, North Carolina
These days more and more women are taking an interest in golf, and resorts have picked up on the trend, courting women to the green with special spa-golf combo packages, and gender-specific classes and programs to introduce ladies to the fun challenges of golf. Traditionally, golf has been a men's game, with women comprising only 18 percent of the "core golf" market. But the times they are a-changing. As pinpointed in a recent CNN article, the upward trend in women's interest in golf has spawned a slew of new packages at resorts across the nation:
At Pinehurst, a sprawling 144-hole golf resort in central North Carolina, instructors created a daylong course called Discover Golf that aims to get beginners -- both men and women -- whacking balls before they learn the ins and outs of the game…Though designed for either sex, the classes have attracted far more women than men so far… all but two of this year's 40 students were women.
The women attendees have raved about the program as great fun, and an excellent opportunity for networking. And you can't beat Pinehurst Resort for the place to learn and perfect your game: the resort is legendary, with eight pristine championship golf courses where the best players in history have all gone before. This is the site of more championships than any other golf course in the country. (With fine luxury spa facilities to boot.)
Joel Robuchon Debuts New Restaurant in New York at the Four Seasons Hotel
The star chef has accumulated quite a loyal following from his renowned restaurants in Paris, Toyko, and Las Vegas, and now the legend arrives in Manhattan at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, newly opened at Four Seasons Hotel New York. The design is innovative: the heart of the restaurant is an open kitchen, dissolving the traditional boundaries between the dining room and kitchen. From the 20 individual seats at the U-shaped pearwood bar, diners can gape at the culinary team at work. The restaurant itself is elegant (details in wood and lacquered black and red) and very intimate: in addition to the pearwood counter, there are only 26 more seats in the whole joint. The cuisine is nothing short of spectacular, prepared with the highest quality ingredients. Famed dishes include the Pommes Purée Truffée (truffled mashed potatoes) and the popular La Caille Farcie de Foie Gras et Caramélisée (free-range quail stuffed with foie gras). With the nightly tasting menu, lucky guests can create their own multi-course Robuchon experience.

Last week, the execution of Warren Lee Hill, a Georgia man sentenced to die for the 1990 killing of a fellow prisoner, was called off as Hill was being prepped for lethal injection.
The decision, while seen as a win by Hill's advocates, has ignited questions about Georgia's ambiguous but strict requirements for judging the point at which mental deficiency prohibits the use of the death penalty.
Last Tuesday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay of the 52-year-old's scheduled execution amid public outcry and international headlines about Hill's mental disability, which had been heavily debated throughout his trial and appeals process. The 2-to-1 ruling guarantees Hill's execution will be put off for at least 30 days.
In July 2012, Hill's first scheduled execution was postponed while the state dealt with challenges to its lethal injection formula, although the same court denied the inmate's petition to readdress questions of his mental competence at that time. A new execution date was set for last week.
Days before that scheduled execution, Hill's lawyers presented new sworn statements from three doctors who had originally examined Hill and subsequently testified in a 2000 court hearing that he did not meet the standards for "mental retardation" — yes, the legal system still uses the phrase. These new statements, however, expressed a change of diagnosis in light of additional experiences with Hill, as well as new scientific insights that have developed in the 12 years since. The doctors now also say they felt rushed during their initial evaluative period. In short, they changed their minds.
Even with expert opinion now resting solidly in the "Warren Hill is mentally retarded" camp, state and federal appellate courts remained unswayed. That is, until less than 30 minutes before the scheduled execution, when Hill had already been sedated ahead of receiving the lethal drug cocktail that would kill him. The 11th Circuit, Hill's lawyer Brian Kammer says, will now review the doctors' new sworn statements.
The case has predictably kicked open debate about the strictness of Georgia's standard that requires defendants to prove their mental disability "beyond a reasonable doubt" — the most stringent degree of burden of proof.
Georgia is the only state that applies such a stringent standard when a death row inmate's mental competence is questioned. Critics of the policy call it an egregious attempt to keep as much death penalty flexibility as possible while still complying with a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court decision that banned the execution of mentally disabled offenders.
"The state of Georgia remains an extreme outlier in requiring that defendants prove they have mental retardation 'beyond a reasonable doubt,'" Kammer said in a statement. "This is the strictest standard in any jurisdiction in the nation. Even Warren Hill, a man with an I.Q of 70 who is diagnosed as mentally retarded by every doctor who has examined him, found it impossible to meet this standard of proof."
The main problem with the rigid statute is that it calls for absolute certainty about a point that is inescapably vague and inexactly measurable. "Mental retardation" is diagnosed according to criteria with a specificity that ranges from set-in-stone to completely open to expert interpretation. An IQ not exceeding 70 is required for a diagnosis of "mental retardation," but so is "significant limitation in adaptive functioning in two or more areas."
The nebulous nature of the latter qualification is based on the reality that each person's ability or inability to function on a basic level will manifest differently, depending on their environment and other factors. In Hill's case, the state disputed his claims of "mental retardation" based partly on the fact that he served in the U.S. Navy. Hill's lawyers argued that the highly structured nature of military life made it possible for someone with clinical "mental retardation" to thrive there.
The idea of "reasonable doubt" in court proceedings is most commonly associated with its necessity in proving someone's guilt. The burden of ruling out reasonable doubt falls on the prosecution. If he or she fails to do so, a defendant can be found not guilty. Georgia's policy regarding mental disabilities and the death penalty, however, reverses this burden, instead requiring that the defense provide irrefutable evidence that the would-be-executed party is "mentally retarded."
Again, room for debate. If you're O.J. Simpson, "room for debate" means you get to walk free and write a shitty book. But if you're Warren Hill, it means you die.
And since the stakes are literally life and death, there's little reason to wonder why Georgia's stance on this issue is so heavily criticized. Why is it that for most criminal defendants, "reasonable doubt" is cause for acquittal, but for inmates with debatable mental capacity, it's a death sentence? Hill aside, shouldn't Georgia lawmakers examine the policy underpinnings that somehow — quite illogically, one would think — exempt death penalty cases from the rules of reasonable doubt that govern other court cases?
The state's experts have recanted their testimony. Several jurors in Hill's original case have argued for clemency. So have family members of Joseph Handspike, the fellow inmate Hill murdered in 1990. The world is again watching Georgia, as it did when Troy Davis fought for a new trial, waiting for the state's next move.

JACKSONVILLE -- The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Vikings tight end Jermaine Wiggins and Panthers safety Kevin McCadam to contracts Monday and re-signed free agent linebacker Tony Gilbert.
Wiggins spent the last three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and McCadam spent the 2006 season with the Carolina Panthers.
Wiggins, 31, led the team in receptions in 2004 and 2005 with 71 and 69, but only caught 46 passes last year.
McCadam, 28, has played 71 career games with six starts and has not missed a game in the past three years. He has 46 career special teams tackles along with 42 tackles, including 30 solo, one sack and a fumble recovery.
Gilbert, 27, played in all 16 games for the Jaguars last season for a third consecutive year. The 239-pound linebacker led the team for 16 special teams tackles and added 16 tackles, including 12 solo, one sack, one quarterback pressure on defense.
The Jaguars also signed cornerback Ahmad Carroll, running back Derrick Wimbush and defensive end Kenny Pettway.
Faulk retires
PHOENIX -- Marshall Faulk's decision was easy after spending last year working for the NFL Network: At 34, his body is more suited for a television studio than for the rigors of playing running back.
After sitting out last season because of a knee injury, Faulk officially announced his retirement Monday. Faulk is fourth in combined yards from scrimmage with 19,154 yards and his 6,875 yards receiving are the most ever among running backs.
PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles acquired Pro Bowl linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb from the Buffalo Bills on Monday night for defensive tackle Darwin Walker and a conditional draft pick in 2008.
Spikes was slow recovering last year from a right Achilles' tendon tear he suffered in Week 3 of the 2005 season.
TitansLAS VEGAS -- Tennessee Titans star Adam "Pacman" Jones could face felony and misdemeanor charges stemming from a triple shooting at a strip club in February. Police are seeking a felony charge of coercion and misdemeanor threat and battery charges against the cornerback.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Incoming Batman and Robin artist Cameron Stewart has posted a selection of sketches drawn for fans during his recent European tour with Karl Kerschl and Ramón Pérez, and the results are … uh, what's the visual equivalent of "mouthwatering"? I don't think it's "eyewatering," but this little gallery — heavy on the Bat-characters but boasting a few mutants and supporting Spidey castmembers too — may well bring a tear to your eye over the fact that you don't live in Europe and thus couldn't get one yourself.
Wow, and those are "quick free sketches." Shit.
I got this Seaguy sketch from Cameron.

Koch Brothers Reach Deal With Cato
Rand nut installed as new Cato leader.
The Koch brothers have been fighting to take control of the Cato Institute, against the wishes of its current leaders and staff, who they deem insufficiently devoted to the cause of plutocracy and the Republican Party. After a lengthy, public fight, the two sides reached a compromise, in which CEO Ed Crane will be pushed out and John Allison will take charge of the libertarian think tank. Allison is the former chairman of BB&T bank and best known for donating vast sums to universities and using his leverage to force them to assign their students to read Ayn Rand screeds. The running of a libertarian think tank seems like a more appropriate venue for Allison to act upon his devotion to Rand's nuttery than forcing it upon students who are trying to learn actual stuff.
Allison's ascension is in keeping with the general trend of the Washington libertarian movement to define itself mainly in economic terms. (The trend has been opposed by a handful of libertarian dissidents, the most prominent of whom have been purged.)
It's not just economic libertarianism in general that moves the likes of Allison, but a specific belief that economic freedom is defined primarily as opposition to egalitarianism. (As opposed to focusing on something like the regulatory power of state and local business cartels.) Allison has called egalitarianism "the most destructive principle in our society." The general thrust of Rand-influenced libertarianism, which you see in the philosophy of Rand-influenced Republicans like Grover Norquist and Paul Ryan, is that the central evil in public life is the poor using the political system to gang up on the rich and redistribute their resources. (For those unfamiliar with my thoughts on Rand and her influence on the contemporary right, you can read them here.)
Allison will no doubt continue to support Cato's libertarian work on foreign policy and social issues, but expect Cato's central thrust as an anti-egalitarian organization to continue or intensify. And since this places Cato in support of the Republican Party, it will probably satisfy the Kochs.

Finally an online casino with a good and clean website design (although, I would just remove the background). At first, I thought that they use a few different software providers, it turns out it is just a NetEnt site, and if you are looking for a good NetEnt site, this would be a good choice.
I was a bit surprised to see sports betting, live betting and live casino, aside the usual game offer.
They accept a large number of currencies, and support 12 different languages in their interface, but no US players allowed.
Interesting enough, this was one of the rare sites that didn't really push the bonuses and promotions to the first page, and you actually have to do a bit of a digging, which is weird.
Well, I didn't profit much from those, but I did have a nice roll with Video slots and Poker. When I saw the money back to my account in under a week, I was sure I will come back and play some more.
Another casino that I'd like to review is BetClick casino. Betclick is a very popular bookmaker but it also include a very interesting casino site. As it is very reliable international brand I decided to register an account. I found the site very friendly and simple to use.
BetClic Casino uses NetEnt gaming software, which is a favourite for many gamers. The jackpots are simply excellent, as there is always a huge prize to play for any day of the week. There are 70 Games to choose from.You can Play games in an instant in the flash mode or download the secure software. The interface is very smooth and simple . Another interesting thing is that BetClic Casino has occasional tournaments for registered members. Details of these events will be sent to you via email, prior to them starting. To receive the 100% casino welcome deposit bonus, you must register an account with BetClic Casino, and not through the sportsbook. What's more there is also referral options.If you Refer a Friend you might receive up to €10 for each friend you successfully refer. There is also a monthly €1,500 pool for people who introduce the most friends. What a great chance to create your own community. Weekly and monthly promotions are sent to registered members via email or SMSBetclic has deals with many different eWallets and other payment transfer services, so there's no reason to wait 8 to 10 business days for a bank transfer. There are only two ways to get in touch with customer service at Betclic: live chat and email. Like other online gambling sites that combine a sportsbook, a poker room, and casino games, Betclic has a big FAQ section designed to answer the most common questions customers have. Great option for all the beginners. Before You decide to register you have to check whether your country is not on the restricted list( The United States, Russia, Croatia etc. ).
To sum up with Betclick is a very reliable and professional casino. If you are looking for the great netent site with good communication with clients this one is the must one choice for you. You will not be disappointed.
Hy Guys! This casino had a sportsbooking bonus made special for players in Romania so i`ve decided to give it a go. Made a deposit , a first bet who brought me a nice profit , made the rollover for the bonus i received and made a 500 euros withdrawal. They made the payment fast and without any problems. Made a few bets with my remaining balance and forget about them. I received an email from them that i have won 10 freespins , i logged in and my balance was a bit over 200 euros , talked to support about the money and they remmembered me that was money gained with a sportsbet. So i wanted to test the casino , i played the slot Mythic Maiden with a 30 lines x 0.05 bet and won a few bonus rounds that payed me quite well. I requested a payout of 300 euros and continued playing at the same slot but i changed the stake 30 lines x 0.10 c per bet and managed to get a big line payed in the bonus round with the wild symbol (x3) and x 10 multiplayer. I requested a bigger payout this time 750 euros , the payments where made as fast as my first one. Decided to change the slot and lost most of my balance at other slots. Returned to Mythic Maiden slot and started the same bet as the first time and won again , changed the stake like the second time and hit it again , changed the stake a bit higher but i did not win anything in 2 hours of play , didn`t lose much so with a 900 euros in my balance decided to make a 4 th withdrawal for 500 euros and the rest of my balance i wanted to continue playing. After a few days that i did not played at all i received an email from support telling me that my account is closed for fraud and i cant open another account at them again. I was pissed , exchanged a few emails with them demanding to see the proof but no response about the fraud alegation. The funny thing was that all my balance was sent to my bank account and support did not respended me anymore. I made quite a few euros on this site but my account was closed cause i was winning to much maybe? and they want only players who lose money in theyr favor. Best Regards
Betclic is the perfect place for me now.
I like the casino games from netent and microgaming.
I like the sports betting offer.
And now I like my favorite poker skin from playtech.
I have made 2 payouts until and I got the money in a day on my ewallet.
great betting website with some experience and high level of trustness. i really like their slots and promotions
great betting here at betclic, they offer very good betting as well as livebetting, most of bonuses are for the deposit and they give also good package on poker that's worth mentioning
Pretty nice casino, was merged with Expect as I heard. Every friday I'm getting 5 free spins on mobile slots so it's another reason why I like it :P (Managed to cash-out only once, like 40€), withdrawals are done pretty fast, they require just ID copy as verification so it's fine for me too.
I have an account of this casino but I has been too long the last time I played here.
My account number must be somewhere in my old email.
Anyway, as far i can remember I have made one deposit at least to this casino, it's because netent software at that time I was addicted to :)
so no doubt I had fun playing here
BetClic - Netent powered casino with a wide range of gambling products such as, Sportsbook, live betting, poker, casino , Live casino. Site could be used instant or mobile versions, so if You like play on the go - this one also for You :)
The first thing I've joined here - Neten games and solid reputation. They are professionals , so You could be sure, You get your winnings 100%. ( okay maybe 99%).
Nice site layout and great sportsbook, also atractive to me , as I like to place some bets and ofcourse, make profit.
Fast payouts, great customer service. All in all, 4.5 of 5.
they offer free spins on a regular basis which is awesome
What i like about this casino is they got some good deposit bonuses also my favorite casino kind .. .netent ! And you always get 5 mobile freespins on fridays . On 4 - 5 sellected games which u can look upforurself ... even too no depositers! :)
Another site I'd like to comment on is betclic great one games by netent new players can count on good promotions every friday they run freespin contest what's cool for all , site is cashable with most of methods there great site 5 stars
Netent casino, but its not my favourite at all. I dont like the display. However they have promotions for new ones, but in my country they use to forget about the loyal ones. Thats ok... What saves the bookie, is the poker, where they use to have freerolls, making easy sure money. Just try, but not against me :D
Betclic casino its definitely one of my top 5 casino. I depositet here more than 20 times, i played spoortsbook, poker and slots. I also like they have a mobile casino no deposit freespins everry week. Also, this is one of my first casinos i ever played, here i played for the first time the netent games and also this is the first casino from where i reached to cashout a no deposit bonus :) if you want to have some fun at a casino, i strongly reccomend Betclic
Betclic is a really good casino, they have such nice people working there, and on almost every forum awesome score's about they way the provide there service's payment made to e-wallets are lighting fast! most of time i get it in less than 1-2hours and i really like that! they have big scale of games on there website, but for sportsbook you are even on better place at betclic! good odds they have! its an really good casino! support is very kind and give good clear answers too me! lot of people are happy with them! thumbs up betclic!
Not a huge fan of the site, Theres not nothing wrong with it but thats the problem, its all just basic. there are mucg better and larger bookmakers in this country that have better sports betting and casino than this one. they are trying to do too much on here and should probably concentrate on just sports or casino, there poker software isnt the best as well
I like this casino just because they have Netent games. I've made only 1 deposit so far and probalby won't make another one. Page looked nice, support was good but something was missing for me. I guess I would like them more if they had some big bonus or another software. But nothing bad to say either.
This casino have a lot of big advantages which other casinos don't have and that is why I love this casino because it is special. I love when casino don't have limit on your withdraw and this casino is one of them, so you have full control of your money and you can withdraw how much you want without any restrictions and they are very fast when it comes to payouts. Beside that they offer all modern games and you can find a lot of fun here. Only lack of this casino are bonuses. They don't offer no deposit bonuses and on free spins and other bonuses wagering requirements are too high. But that change nothing and I think that this is great great casino.
I used to play there 7 years ago. This was the first casino I ever deposited at. It was great back then. Won several times, always got paid without any problems, enjoyed their games (especially Tales of Krakow, Voodoo vibes, Blood Suckers and small bets roulette). Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to play there again. This is a pity really. If I could rate this casino, I would give it 4/5 :)
I know they are decent nice casino you can trust,but only made 1 deposit here and i don't think will be coming back,just of the reason my country is not eligible for any promo,so will stick to those casinos,which will honor me some bonuses.
On Betclic Casino've been active since 2012 and until a week ago, I had only one deposit of 50 €. Now I decided to come back to this place and through my Neteller account paid I € 100, after playing in Gonzo's Quest I am maximizing my bankroll by 60 €, two days ago I sent a request to withdraw and this morning I got my money. Thank you, Betclic Casino!
i registered here like 2 years ago, they are sister site to expekt and run almost the same promotions always, they always paid me without any problems and i played often in the sportsbook and casino here. Definetifly trusted site, you won`t have any problems here if you dont do anything against the terms and conditions, so read them always! i sometimes got E-Wallet withdrawls in hours here, so really fast. I think i did about 15 withdrawls on betclic and always got the money without problems once i sent verification documents! 4 stars!
Im an occasional depositor at this casino because I know it can be trusted 100%. Was registered at their sister site expekt casino for many years, and thought i would try out the other casino from their group. Good selection of games, regular promotions and okay withdrawal times. I give them a heads up and recommend them.
Oh man, I love this casino. I've got good memories from Betclic casino, won few times respectable amount of money. Indeed, they are nothing special. Good netnet and microgaming software, solid costumers care, withdrawing regularly. But, the reason I award them with 5 stars is because I have good memories with them. That may be not the most objective reason, but enough for me.
For me this one isnt something special at all. As i always i require a attractive designed website but thsi one do not have it. It's simple and dont look ugly but only pragmatic players can enjoy playing there.
Good thing about them is that they have many of games and grand softwares like netent and microgaming. So if games is most important thing for gamblers Bet Click is good option.
I deposit often in this casino and sometimes i win. They offer different weekly promotions to italian players every day expecially on saturday and sunday. In fact if you wager 10 euro you'll receive 10 for free at 35 x. Every week i deposit and play on netent slots and i hope that one day i'll win big :)
Last update. I did different deposits in these days but i'm playing for nothing. It seems that every day is always the same. In fact i did a last deposit this morning with paypal but i've lost again. In one week i deposited over 100 euro but it's very strange that are different days that i take free spins with 1/3 euro winnings! Now i'll play only in the weekend. It's a good casino but it's impossible that i have to deposit very high to win something.
Not a bad place at all, but they were more generous about bonuses in the past, today all you get is a 25% cashback or something like that. And freespins are also very rare here these days. But they have different providers now, so check it out if you aren't a bonus freak. :D

Snowden Says Allegations He Received Russian Help Are 'Absurd'
Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden says that when he leaked classified documents about some of the United States' most sensitive surveillance programs, he did so alone and without any help.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Snowden called whispers that he received help from Russia's security service "absurd."
He told the magazine that he "clearly and unambiguously acted alone, with no assistance from anyone, much less a government." He continued, "It won't stick. ... Because it's clearly false, and the American people are smarter than politicians think they are."
As we reported over the weekend, Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, strongly implied that Snowden had help from the Russians not only to travel to that country, where Snowden received temporary asylum, but to also steal the information to begin with.
"There's a reason he ended up in the hands, the loving arms, of an FSB agent in Moscow," Rogers said. "I don't think that's a coincidence."
Rogers offered no evidence for his statements.
Snowden said the allegations made no sense.
Had he been spying for Russia, Snowden said, he never would have made a stop in Hong Kong and he certainly wouldn't have spent 40 days at the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow.
"Spies get treated better than that," he told the magazine.

A long time ago I listened and watched as a Mentor (M) of mine explained, to a large gathering of people, the relationship between risk and reward.
Choices, fees, diversification, information and advice make today so much superior than 50 years ago. So we are led to believe. As one who has seen the development of the financial industry, up close and personal, over the past 50 years, I find those statements bogus and, quite frankly, B.S.
No one can argue the fact that corporate management and board room members made a decision to forego the traditional methods of investing in themselves.
In 1929 Banking was the epitome of co-mingling. Bank officials thought nothing of using their depositors money to speculate in the ever rising stock market. The day the bubble burst, October 29,1929, not only did investors lose what they thought they had in the market but also what they thought they had safely tucked away at the local bank.
In poker the big bet is made when the player says ALL IN. At that point if his hunch is correct, then smiles and congratulations are in order. However should someone elses cards be better, it is game over.
Back in 2002 and even before, when Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General of New York, was a rising political star it was frowned upon to say one thing publically and do just the opposite behind the scenes. At the time, Merrill Lynchs hot shot, high profile internet guru and analyst, Henry Blodgett, was being accused of touting to the public the worthiness of the high flying .com but privately, around the water cooler, dismissing them as GARBAGE.
Financial conditions in the United States have recently become less supportive of growth- and thus begins another memorable Humphrey-Hawkins testimony from the head of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen.
Founded on sound fiscal and budgetary measures, ensconced within the framework of the Constitution and a smattering of The Declaration, the Tea Party seems to have exhausted its shelf life. It has gone the way of a Ross Perot bumper sticker.
Once upon a time when I was a little tyke (believe it or not), I stopped believing in the Tooth Fairy (TF). However, I kept up the facade of belief since a lost baby tooth under the pillow converted to 25 cents in the morning.
Once again the elite meet and greet in Davos for their annual kum bi ya.
As most readers of this column are well aware, I have been a long time proponent of a heavy dosage of cash as the investment vehicle of choice.
When the clock struck 12am on January 1st another new year was entering history. Writers write, singers sing and financial pundits fill the airwaves, columns and blogs with what the average person should do to be investment successful in the year ahead.
Some say Tis the season to be Jolly. Others will say Remember the reason for the Season. Perry Como once sang I wish it could be Christmas forever.
I said quite awhile ago short oil, short the Euro, go long the Dollar, short equities.
Once upon a time people who looked to benefit from the stock market were called investors.
When gasoline dropped from $4 a gallon to $3 a gallon mainstream media, Wall Street economists and, of course, the White House proclaimed a boon for the American public.
Why wont people save for retirement? Obviously, according to mainstream media, especially the Financial News Networks and most liberals in general, the average folk dont have the tools to stash it away.
All eyes are focusing on the Presidential debates. Actually, more likely, the World Series and the Kardashians Fall Premier.
Its the political season and everyone wants to know what the next President can and will do for them. Unfortunately not one, even the Donald, is addressing the real culprit responsible for the financial hardship that so many millions are enduring and many more will in the days ahead.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Auburn's Jeff Grimes has a different approach to coaching offensive linemen.
More professor than screamer, Grimes reads his players daily passages from books on everything from ancient Greece to Navy Seals. These days he could stick to the young adult section.
Grimes turned down a job offer from Texas coach Mack Brown to
return to a position where he'll open the season with four new
starters -- possibly including multiple freshmen. He says that situation led many to believe he'd jump at the opportunity but "there were just too many positives on this side to walk away."
Grimes goes from having the team's most veteran group to one of
its least experienced. He had four seniors and a junior -- tackle
Brandon Mosley -- starting in the national championship game.
