The Education of a Coachby David Halberstam, Eric Conger (Read by)
Bill Belichick's 31 years in the NFL have been marked by amazing success -- first with the Giants, then with Cleveland, and most recently, his three out of the last four Super Bowl wins with the New England Patriots have made him surpass Vince Lombardi in his record for playoff victories and achieve the highest postseason winning percentage in NFL history. In this groundbreaking new book, David Halberstam explores the nuances of both the game and the man behind it. He uncovers what makes Bill Belichick tick both on and off the field, as a coach and a son. "I've been fascinated by Bill Belichick for more than 20 years, going back to the time when he was a young coach in his early 30s working with the linebackers on the Giants. "Halberstam writes. "There was, I thought, a certain signature to a Belichick game -- whatever it was the other team's offense was doing in the first half, the team coached by Belichick tended to take it away in the second half. I was fascinated by that, and by the fact that he seemed so un-coachlike, or perhaps the prototype for a very different kind of modern coach in what is an increasingly complicated game. He wasn't in any way charismatic, and he made no attempt to be charismatic -- if anything, quite the reverse, but he always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone else. If anything, that made him even more interesting to me -- a man who had no interest in the celebrity culture, but had been projected into the epicenter of it because of the nature of his job and his success with it." Set apart by his Wesleyan education, Belichick approaches coaching differently than anyone else in the NFL. Here, for the first time, we learn why and how.

Halberstam may be the first serious authorat least since Buzz Bissinger wrote Friday Night Lights--to capture what so many of us have known for years, but have never quite figured out how to say properly.

David Halberstam is a thorough storyteller, writing in prose both elegant and simple. Grade: A-"Entertainment Weekly"
A fast-paced read by one of America's greatest nonfiction writers. Buy it to learn about the coach. Read it to learn from the writer."Cleveland Plain Dealer"
Belichick to Halberstam may be football's best combination since Montana to Rice."Bob Costas"
If you want to learn about schooling and allegiance and leadership and, most of all, football, by all meansslip inside the sweatshirt."Wall Street Journal"
Halberstam takes the classic sports-bio formulaone stellar performer's rise to the pinnacle of American sportand transforms it into a nuance-rich story of individual triumph and social history."Booklist"

Chapter OneWhen the clock was finally winding down, the seconds ticking off, with the Philadelphia team unconscionably slow in getting its plays off, Steve Belichick, always in the background whenever there were television cameras around, left his place behind some of the New England players, back around the 50-yard line. Moving quickly, he headed toward the 35, wanting to share this final glorious moment with his son, Bill, the coach of New England, about to win his third Super Bowl victory in four years. Bill Belichick himself was puzzled at that moment by the slow, almost languid way the Eagles were running their plays, as if they were the ones with the lead, not the Patriots, and they wanted to burn the clock. He kept checking the scoreboard, which said 24-14, as if perhaps he was the one who had the score wrong. He called his assistants, Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini, on the headphones to make sure the Patriots did indeed enjoy a ten-point lead. "Have I got the score right?" he asked, and they assured him he did. "Then what the hell are they trying to do?" he asked. His assistants did not know, either. The long, slow drive had finally culminated in a Philadelphia score, because of a blown defensive coverage on the part of the Patriots; the correct defense, designed to give up a limited number of yards in exchange for more time off the clock, had not been sent in or used, and Philadelphia scored on a 30-yard pass play. Seeing that his players were in the wrong coverage, Belichick had tried desperately to call time-out, but he had been too late, and the Eagles had scored. Belichick had been momentarily furious, mostly at himself, because he demanded perfection first and foremost of himself: But the score had served only to snake the game closer; it had not affected the final outcome.
Steve Belichick got to his son's side just in time to be soaked by Gatorade in the ritual shower of the victorious. That gave him his first great moment of celebrity, coming at the end of a six-decade career of playing and coaching football, and that moment was witnessed by much of the entire nation, live and in color, on national television. One could imagine one of those Disneyland commercials, generally accorded the young and instantly famous at moments like these, when a voice would ask, "Steve Belichick, you've been coaching and playing for sixty, years, where are you going slow that your son has won his third Super Bowl in four years?"
It was one of the best moments of the entire Super Bowl extravaganza, filled as it is so often with moments of artificial emotion, because this moment was absolutely genuine, father and son drenched together, emotion finally showing on the face of the son, usually so reticent about showing emotion, as if to do so was to give away some precious bit of control, to fall victim at least momentarily to the whims of the modern media trap. Father and son were bonded in this instant by the joy of victory and by the shared experience of a lifetime of coaching, with all its bitter as well as celebratory moments.
Steve Belichick was a lifer, viewed by his peers as a coach's coach. He had never made much money and never enjoyed much fame outside the small hermetically sealed world of coaching. For much of his adulthood he had lived with the special uncertainty of a coach-a world without guarantees, except for the one that no matter how well things were going at the moment, they would surely turn around soon. There would be a bad recruiting year, a prize recruit who said he would come to your school and then decided at the last moment to attend an arch-rival, too many good players would be injured in the preseason (but only after the national magazines had looked at your roster and predicted a conference championship), or there would be a change in athletic directors and the new one had a favorite all his own whom he hoped to install in what was now his program. In the end, the head coach would be fired and the assistant coaches would have to leave with him.
Bill Belichick had been born in I952 in Nashville, when Steve, already considered an exceptional coach-tough and smart, original and demanding, way ahead of the curve in the drills he demanded, and, in addition to everything else, an absolutely brilliant scout-was in the process of being fired as an assistant coach at Vanderbilt, even though the team he was part of had done reasonably well. He had been fired, all of the members of the Belichick family later believed, because they and the coaching team they were part of had been not quite social enough for the genteel world of Vanderbilt football, and there had been a deftly organized campaign against them by one of Nashville's more influential (and social) sportswriters.
Thus Bill Belichick had entered the world rather typically as the son of a lifer. When he was a toddler, his family had already given up the lease on their house and put their furniture in storage, and his father was waiting for word on his next job. The head coach they had followed to Vanderbilt, an immensely popular man named Bill Edwards (William Steven Belichick was named both for Bill Edwards and for his father), was well connected in the world of coaching and liked by almost everyone, save apparently one or two Nashville sportswriters, but it was late in the year, and there were not a lot of openings.
It was a difficult moment. On Steve's tiny salary they had not been able to save any money, and they were hunkered down in a house they would soon have to vacate. They had no furniture-moving boxes filled with their possessions served as their tables and chairs. The phone, which was supposed to be ringing with job offers, did not ring. There was talk that Bill Edwards might be offered a job at North Carolina as an assistant to a man named George Barclay, and that if he were, Steve Belichick might become a part of his team, but it was still just talk. Time was running out. Finally a game plan was decided on, one that Jeannette Belichick helped formulate. They would pile everything they had into the car and drive east. Somewhere along the way, they would stop and call the Carolina people. If the job was there, they would continue on to Chapel Hill; if there was no word, they would leave the uncertain world of college coaching, head south, and Steve would try to find a job in Florida, coaching high school football.
In Knoxville, not quite halfway to Chapel Hill, the Belichick family pulled up alongside a restaurant, and Steve got out and called from a pay phone. The Carolina job was his. So they had continued to Chapel Hill, and the idea of coaching high school football was put aside, at least for the moment. The Belichick family loved Chapel Hill, and Steve always regretted that Carolina was not a perennial football power, but to his mind George Barclay was not that good a coach-it would have been better had Edwards been the coach, he thought. Chapel Hill lasted three years, 1953-55, before they were all once again fired.
From there Steve Belichick managed to get the job as an assistant coach at Navy. Bill was three years old when they went to Annapolis. Steve Belichick loved coaching there, loved coaching the midshipmen, and decided he would stay there permanently if he could. He did not long to be a head coach-he had seen how quickly they came and went, even when they were talented, like his friend Bill Edwards. He did not need the title or the power. He decided everything he needed was right there: a solid program (Navy still had nationally ranked teams in those days), great young men, an attractive community, wonderful colleagues. He was by all accounts a brilliant coach, an exceptional teacher, and arguably the best and most professional scout of his era. No one, it was said, could scout another team and break down their film quite like Steve Belichick; no one could pick up on a giveaway mistake of another team-say, a runner who involuntarily gave a small tip-off before the snap when he was going to get the ball-like Belichick.
He was one of those rare Americans who, though ambitious and exceptionally hardworking, knew when he had a deal that suited him, and had no urge for greener pastures, which in his shrewd estimate might in fact not be greener. Over the years he turned down countless other job offers, from other colleges and from the pros. When Bill Edwards, his great mentor and by then coach at Wittenberg College in Ohio, asked him to come there, he regretfully turned it down because it would be a step backward in terms of the strength of the program. When there was a chance to become the head coach of Navy, he told the committee that he liked the job he already had, thereby taking himself out of the running for head coach. He did another shrewd thing. At Chapel Hill he had become close to the Carolina basketball coach, the legendary Frank McGuire, who had taken a special liking to the Belichick family and especially to its three-year-old son. Basketball practice always stopped when Steve and Bill showed up, and someone was ordered to find a basketball, always brand-new, to roll out to Bill. When McGuire heard that the Belichicks were going to Navy, he told Steve to do what his friend Ben Carnevale, the basketball coach there, had done, which was to try and move up on a tenure track as a physical education instructor in addition to coaching. This would protect him from the volatility and uncertainty of the coach's life. Steve took the advice, and became an assistant professor first and then a tenured associate professor. That gave him something rare in the world of coaching, job security, and he ended up staying at Navy for thirty-three years under eight head coaches.
He taught thousands of players and younger coaches, many of whom went on to more prominent jobs, but in the end his greatest pupil was his son. He taught him many things, including what position to play-center, because the boy was smart and strong for his size, but he was not going to be very big, not on a football-player scale, and because, even more important, he was not going to be particularly fast. Steve knew that early on because Bill had heavy ankles-that was the first thing he looked for when he was recruiting, the ankles, because it was a tip-off on speed. Center was the right position for Bill because he was smart and would know the game, and a smart center who knew how to read a defense was always valuable. So, as a result, a particular repetitive sound, a kind of thudding, filled the Belichick house in Bill's teenage years: the sound of him centering the ball against a mat hanging from a wall in the basement. Another important thing Steve taught his son was how to scout and how to study film, which Bill Belichick started doing when he was about nine years old.
For if anyone had helped create the extraordinary coach who stood there, soaked in Gatorade, that evening of his third Super Bowl win (both Belichicks subsequently caught bad colds and suspected it was because of the shower), it was Steve Belichick. At that moment his son (still known as Billy to some of the players and coaches Steve had worked with during the Navy years) stood at the pinnacle of his profession. Others in the football world placed him in the pantheon of the NFL's greatest coaches. Maxie Baughan, one of the first men he worked under when he joined the league in 1975, a nine-time Pro Bowl player himself, and a longtime George Mien favorite, was one of the first players to pick up on Bill Belichick's brilliance when he was still a child-coach with the Colts back in 1975. After the third Super Bowl he placed Belichick among the elite three, a new trinity: Lombardi, Landry, and now Belichick. Others were more cautious and added the names of Paul Brown, George Allen, Chuck Noll, Don Shula, and Bill Walsh, among other immensely talented coaches, but of Belichick's excellence and originality and his place among the elite, there was no doubt, Ron Jaworski, who quarterbacked an earlier Eagle team to the Super Bowl in 1981 and eventually became ESPN's most knowledgeable football commentator, thought it was quite possible that Belichick was the best ever, because he had won three times in an era dramatically less congenial to creating a dynasty than before. In the past, there were two principal obstacles faced by a team once it became a champion. The first was the instinct to relax and not work as hard once you had won it all, to think that because you had just been the best, you were entitled to be the best again. The other was the League's draft, the fact that each year the weakest teams had the best shot at the very best players. In the modern era, when there were probably too many teams, the League had decided, consciously or unconsciously, on policies to keep the better teams and better organizations from dominating, and instead to make weaker organizations look better-in effect, to reward the weak and punish the strong. Now the schedule was rigged-the better you were, the tougher the schedule you faced.
The League, it was believed, wanted every team to come in as close to .500 with its record as possible. That was a dramatic change from the past. In addition, free agency and the salary cap worked against dynastic ambitions. Teams that did their scouting better than their competitors could not stockpile players as in the past, and it was harder than ever to keep a good bench, because if you won, other teams stole your starters and your backup people-those you were grooming, but who were probably a bit dissatisfied because they were not starting. The salary cap put a certain pressure on you as well, because as you won, your players felt, not without some justification, that they deserved more money, and it was hard to keep them all satisfied, so some of your role-playing athletes were snatched away at star-player salaries by your rivals. What Dallas, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco did in another era-create a powerful team and add to it systematically-was harder to do now. "There's a volatility to line-ups now that wasn't there before, before free agency and the cap, and no matter how good your organization is these days you're going to lose a number of your best players each year," Jaworski said. "That makes his accomplishments even more remarkable." Or as Bill Walsh, the celebrated architect and coach of the San Francisco 49ers in their glory years, and sometimes called The Genius, said admiringly of Belichick: "He's done it in an age when the dynasties are gone, unless you count the Patriots as a dynasty, which I think they are."
What football men, coaches and players alike, admired about him more than anything else was his ability to create a team in an age when the outside forces working against it seemed more powerful every year and where often the more talented a player was, the more he needed to display his ego, to celebrate his own deeds rather than team deeds. A fan could now watch truly bizarre scenes on Sunday-a player, his team down by four touchdowns, making a good catch and dancing around as if his team had just won the championship. Belichick, as much as anyone in football, tried to limit that, and to make New England win and behave at all times like a team. The most obvious example of that old-fashioned emphasis on team came in the first of New England's three Super Bowl victories. The League had asked him, according to tradition, whether he wanted to introduce his offensive or defensive team to both the crowd and the nation at the start of the game, and he had said, neither-he wanted to introduce the entire team. The League officials argued against it, because that was not the way it was done, and told him he had to choose. Belichick was nothing if not stubborn-stubborn when he was right and sometimes just as stubborn when he was wrong-and he refused to budge, so, finally, the League caved.
Out they had come, all the Patriots, joyously and confidently, and it was not just other players and coaches who got it immediately, that this introduction was something different, designed to show this was a team and everyone was a part of it. It was also understood by much of the vast television audience, exhausted not merely by players' excessive egos, but also by broadcasters who failed to blow the whistle on them. A great many people decided then and there that they would root for New England as kind of an homage to the game itself.

An entertaining book that covers the influences, mentors, and thinking processes that has shaped a truly great coach. Focuses on his upbringing, and how his father, a Navy offensive coordinator, taught him as a young teen to 'break down film' and discover an opponent's tendancies. Describes New England's approach in upsetting the Rams to win his first Super Bowl as a head coach (attack their strengths). Provides a roadmap for those wanting to be great at their craft as well as a sobering tale about how personal losses can arise where career demands get too intense. If you love football or sports strategy, you'll love this book!
I selected this book as my summer reading book because football is one of my favorite sports, and I am a big Patriots fan. I also thought it would be interesting to learn about how Bill Belichick became one of the best N.F.L coaches of today. I would not recommend this book to a high schooler because David Halberstam states a lot stats and facts, that a high school reader would get bored of. But, on the flip side, Belichick shows many traits that a high school students should have. For example, while he was working his way up, many other coaches did not believe in him and told him he would never make it due to his lack of social skills. However he had perseverance during those difficult times which made him the successful N.F.L coach he is today. Other ways important values are shown in this book is when Bill is having trouble with a player's behavior and deals with the problem, showing good composure. However he knew when it was the right time to discipline the star player of the team. These values can teach a high school student how to become a better communicator when problems arise and how to never give up on their dreams. This book did meet my expectations. I expected this book to state a lot of facts about Bill Belichick's prestigious career as a football coach. I expected this book to be in chronological order according to Bill's life.
A private no frills personality makes it to the top of his profession on what seems to be his terms. Bill Belichick, sure to be a Hall of Famer is profiled in a very in depth but short read. He is a true example of how hard work and dedication to a profession can pay off in the biggest reward that occupation has to offer.Although it is an excellant profile as well as a great inside view of the coaching world it leaves one to wonder whether it is worth the sacrifices.
Suggest borrow first to decide if a keeper biographies of sports personalities have limited appeal as do many bios
The Education of a Coach by David Halberstam is a great story of how Bill Belichick became one of the greatest coaches in N.F.L history. I selected this book as my summer reading choice because I love and play football. I'm also a huge patriots fan and wanted to learn more about the team and Coach Belichick. I also wanted to learn of how Bill Belichick became one of the greatest coaches in N.F.L history because one day I might want to try to be a football coach. I knew Bill Belichick was different then most coaches and I selected this book to learn more about how he is so different compared to other coaches. I would recommend this book to any high school reader that loves football. If you love football then you will love this book because it talks about famous coaches and players throughout the entire book. I also recommend the book even if you don't love football it teaches readers valuable lessons. For example the book teaches to never give up even when everyone doubts you and to be patient in life because great awards can come from it. So many people doubted Belichick but he kept pushing and eventually became a great N.F.L coach. Belichick also was a very patient man and had a lot of composure and because of that he was able to become a great mentor and coach to his players. The Education of a Coach met my expectations because I expected a great football book that taught about Belichick's career and how he became successful. The book also went above my expectations because I learned valuable life lessons that don't even have to do with football. Such as never giving up and having a lot of patience.
A: I selected this book as my summer reading choice because football is one of my favorite sports. I also thought it would be interesting to learn about how Bill Belichick became one of the best N.F.L coaches of the modern football era. The final reason I selected this book is because I am a Patriots fan and wanted to learn more about my favorite players and their relationship with their coach. B: I would recommend this book to a high school reader because the story shows important values in life like perseverance and composure. Bill Belichick started coaching football when he was very young and worked his way up the ranks. While he was working his way up, many other coaches did not believe in him and told him he would never make it due to his lack of social skills. However he had perseverance during those difficult times which made him the successful N.F.L coach he is today. Other ways important values are shown in this book is when Bill is having trouble with a player's behavior and deals with the problem for a while, showing good composure. However he knew when it was the right time to discipline the star player. These values can teach people how to become a better communicator when problems arise and how to never give up on their dreams. C: This book went above my expectations because I expected to just learn about football and great coaching which I did but I also learned important values in life in order to be successful.
Tell tom brady that he stinks you need to put julian edelman at qb
I havn't read it yet. It seems very good and belichek is awesome, but isn't ot to early to write a biography on belichek? For all we know he could win a championship again............
Great book overall B+.
This book is very quick reading, and fairly lite. I'm amazed that it's been written since Belichick is still coaching, but it is a pretty good biography of the guy. It does jump around a little...from his work, to his father growing up, etc. But towards the middle of the book or so, it is pretty much chronological. I am surprised that Romeo and Charlie have only one paragraph in the book, but it's not at all about the types of plays he made in games, but more of how he learned from his mistakes.

pywebsockets version 470 can generate TCP RSTs when using the deflate-stream extension, or in certain other error cases. These manifest as unclean close errors in some of the websocket tests (often test-8 of test_Websocket.html, but they can be anywhere), depending on the test case this pops up a random orange. Due to this issue with the tests the deflate-stream extension was preffed off when checked in (see bug 658546).
The issue has been resolved entirely in things NPOTB.
I am going to attach 3 patches here:
* update our test code to rev 489 of pywebsockets. This fixes a different compression bug in the server and to avoid forking the code, it is what I based the next patch on (NPOTB)
* a patch to drain the input buffers in pywebsockets before doing a socket level close, to remove the cause of the RST. I have sent this to the pywebsockets author. (NPOTB)
* a patch to re-enable the deflate-stream extension which should now run without orange.
once this is landed I'll ask for aurora approval as no code in firefox has changed.

mostly just because that's what pywebsockets already does for data of undetermined length.. and realistically I know it is just 3 to 5 bytes.

Missing You Quotes and Sayings
I keep telling myself and everyone else that I'm over you. That you're history, and that I'm just being silly by even remembering you. But why is it that every night before I go to sleep…I miss you??
I miss you…. I want you…. I need you….. I love you….. Always
Missing you could turn from pain to pleasure, if I knew you were missing me too.
I miss those late night calls and good morning texts.
I miss you when something really good happens, because you are the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you are the one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry because I know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you most when I lay awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other; for those were some of the best times of my life …(I love you and I miss you)
I miss you, but what hurts more is knowing you don't feel the same.
Life is a lot worse without you around.
Waiting for something is very exciting, yet painful. Most people give up in the beginning, but the really warriors wait until the very end.
I miss you. I don't miss having your heart, I miss our friendship, our long walks and talks. I just want that back.
When I miss you, I miss everything about you and I can't do anything but to miss you.
I'm not sad because I'm alone, I'm sad because I'm without you.
The ones we love, never truly leave us.
Living without you is just like dancing without music.
I miss you so much. You are my only and only true happiness. You are my prince charming and my super hero.. Many things have happened in the past and many things have changed. It doesn't matter how much time has gone by. I am so happy at least we give each other a chance and now here we are sharing our love together. I love you so much.. Having your love has been the best thing that ever happened to me. Thank you for loving me the way you do. Thank you for accepting me for who I am. I'm so glad that you came into my life… I miss you every second of every minute of every day.
When I take away all the negative things in my life all I have left is you, so it is easy to see why I miss you so much.

This represents a growth of 9% over the period, which is similar to the rate of growth of SMSF member average balances (see appendix 1, table 12). The median SMSF asset size was $518,000, an increase of 7% over the period. The difference between the average and median asset figures reflects the number of SMSFs with over $1 million in assets. These have increased from 26% in 2008 to 28% in 2012 (see appendix 1, table 14). As mentioned previously in relation to the growth in SMSF member balances, the trend of average and median SMSF assets over the five-year period reflects economic conditions. This is further demonstrated by analysis of the average and median asset balance of SMSFs established in each of the five years to 2012. Average assets of SMSFs established in 2008 were $334,000 compared with $332,000 for those established in 2012, a decrease of 0.5%. The median assets of SMSFs established in 2008 and 2012 were $198,000 and $202,000 respectively, an increase of 2% (see appendix 1, table 13). Last modified: 16 Dec 2013QC 37999

The Friendliest Diva
There's very little Golden Globe/Tony Award-winning performer Bernadette Peters hasn't done-and nothing she hasn't done exceptionally. Noted for her winning roles in Annie Get Your Gun and Song and Dance, Peters is most recognizable to the non-theatrical set as Steve Martin's kewpie doll girlfriend in 1980's The Jerk, in which the two duet a funky little ditty on the beach that ends with Peters playing a trumpet and Martin licking her face. While such antics haven't been announced for her Cerritos appearance, you can still delight in Peter's silver-throated renditions of the utterly romantic "Unexpected Song" and the reelingly sad "Tell Me on a Sunday," an experience not to be missed.

Judging Factor Abundance
Recent theoretical developments have cast doubt on the reliability of the commonly used cross-industry regression as a method for inferring a country's abundant factors. This paper examines the empirical importance of these theoretical cautions by comparing regression derived estimates of factor abundance with both revealed and actual factor abundances for thirty-five countries and up to twelve resources. Trade imbalances are found to importantly affect the regression estimates and we therefore derive and implement a theoretically consistent trade balance correction. The results indicate that despite theoretical concerns, the regression measures are often reliable indicators of revealed factor abundances. The results therefore enhance the credibility of the findings of the numerous regression studies that have been conducted over the past thirty years.

Greenfield — Greenfield School District Assistant Superintendent Todd Bugnacki has resigned effective June 30 after accepting an instructional leadership position in the Cedarburg School District, where former Greenfield Superintendent Conrad Farner went to become human resources director.
This is the third resignation of top management of the Greenfield schools in five months. Farner left in January and Kristen Kollath, director of business services, resigned in February to take a position with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The Greenfield School Board has namedLisa Elliott, a former Maple Grove Elementary School principal and leader in teacher effectiveness, to serve as superintendent. It also named Amy Kohl, who is currently business manager in the Fox Point-Bayside School District and former business manager with the Whitnall schools, to be Greenfield's director of business services.
In the meantime, their duties are being handled by interim administrators David Ewald (as superintendent) and Ron Nortier (business manager).
School Board President Bruce Bailey said the board was surprised by Bugnacki's sudden departure. He had been with the district for 16 years.
'We hate to see him go,' Bailey said. 'The only good thing is the new superintendent starts July 1 and will be able to have input on a replacement.'
But it might not be the same position, he said. The School Board will re-evaluate duties of the assistant superintendent. Bugnacki was not only assistant superintendent, but he had responsibilities for curriculum and was the human resources director.

In gutting the Voting Rights Act, the U.S. Supreme Court's conservative justices have once again superseded the will of the Congress, ignoring precedent in the process and constructing a frail constitutional framework to justify their ruling.
Passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 was among the greatest achievements of the civil rights movement that ended institutional discrimination in the South. The act's intent was to enforce the dictates of the Fifteenth Amendment, ratified after the Civil War: "The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Section 2 of the Amendment makes it clear that "Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
Congress has used that constitutional authority to extend the 1965 Voting Rights Act several times and the high court has repeatedly upheld its constitutionality. Congress most recently renewed the act for 25 years in 2006 after extensive hearings, the vote 390-33 in the House and unanimous in the Senate.
Congress concluded then "40 years has not been a sufficient amount of time to eliminate the vestiges of discrimination following nearly 100 years of disregard for the dictates of the 15th Amendment and to ensure that the right of all citizens to vote is protected as guaranteed by the Constitution."
But in a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., and joined by justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr., the conservative wing of the court concluded that it did not like the formula Congress uses to judge which states and jurisdictions needed closer monitoring to protect voter rights.
Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act outlines the nine states in the South and Southwest (and numerous other voting districts scattered around the country) that are subject to Section 5's "preclearance" requirement. These states and jurisdictions must obtain permission from the Justice Department before amending voting laws and regulations, assuring those changes are not discriminatory.
Congress has not updated Section 4 since 1975. The court's majority concluded that is too long. If Congress requires some states and jurisdictions to receive preclearance, it must base that requirement on contemporary data; otherwise it is a violation of state rights, the majority concluded.
"The (Fifteenth) Amendment is not designed to punish for the past," Chief Justice Roberts writes. "Its purpose is to ensure a better future."
The majority argument finding Section 4 unconstitutional is fundamentally flawed. How to ensure a better future, what formula to use, whether it should be changed and to which states it applies are decisions for Congress to make, not the Supreme Court. The Fifteenth Amendment could not be clearer on that point. Writing the opinion of the four dissenting justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg put it well.
"The body (Congress) empowered to enforce the Civil War Amendments 'by appropriate legislation' merits the Court's utmost respect. In my judgment, the Court errs egregiously by overriding Congress' decision," writes Justice Ginsburg.
During oral arguments last March about the case - Shelby County, Ala. v Attorney General Holder - Justice Scalia signaled the conservative court's direction. "This is not the kind of a question you can leave to Congress," said the justice about his concern Congress would never modify the Voting Rights Act. Gee, that sounds like judicial activism.
Theoretically, Congress could, in an effort to pass constitutional muster, rewrite Section 4 with a new formula based on new data. Given the current climate in Congress, reaching agreement on new federal guidelines is probably impossible.
This misguided decision presents a genuine threat to voting rights. In the past two years the attorney general has used the act to block state voter identification laws that would have adversely affected minority voters.
Due largely to the act, the country has made tremendous progress in reducing voter discrimination, but it is na�ve to think that when politicians in these states see it in their interest to repress the votes of the minority community they won't try again. Now, they won't have a functioning Voting Rights Act to stop them.

"Any brown paper will degrade over time unless it's coated with plastic or wax. Grocery store brown paper bags should work fine however, if you want the paper to degrade a little more quickly, most paper towels or paper napkins will work fine. The only thing I would worry about is that watering the plants will make both psper tubes and paper fall apart."
"Crafts requiring saws, blades or chemicals should be left to adults. Perhaps children could help with other aspects of the craft, such as painting or gluing."
"I agree with others who have said crafts involving chemicals, machines, blades, etc are best left to adults or with close adult supervision."

Get scary and spooky this Halloween with your horns. Guest contributor Danielle sent us a step-by-step guide on how to make these costume horns. Be something crazy this holiday.
- A cookie sheet for baking
- One 2oz package of non-toxic polymer clay in the desired color for solid color horns
- A smooth, clean board or acrylic sheet to work on (alternatives: an old, clean cooking sheet-uncovered, a scrap of tin, a vinyl remnant from the fabric store. Anything flat, smooth, and expendable.)
- Clay drill or a metal or bamboo skewer
- .8 or 1 mm clear beading elastic (nothing smaller as it will not be strong enough)
- Masking tape
- Clay working tools
- Brush-on gloss glaze (optional)
- Wide bristle art brush
- Tin foil
- Aluminum clay knife or pastry knife
- Scissors
- Superglue
- Oven or Toaster Oven
- Paper towels
- Do not eat while working this project as the clay will leave a residue on your work surface and your hands. While the clay is non-toxic, you still don't want to ingest it with your food. This project should be done with adult supervision if being completed by children and is not recommended for children under five or those who have the impulse to put things in their mouths.
- Make sure the kitchen is well ventilated when you are baking the clay. It does produce strong fumes that you do not want to inhale too extensively. Open a window or turn on a fan, and do not wait in the kitchen while the items are baking.
- The smell of the fumes will linger in your oven for a short time after you've baked the horns. It will cook off and dissipate rather quickly, but if you use your home oven that you prepare food in, you might want to run it without anything in for a some time after to get rid of the smell sooner or run the cleaning feature if you have one. An alternative to that, if you are going to be working with polymer clay on an ongoing basis is to purchase an inexpensive toaster oven for dedicated clay use. I keep mine in the garage and do all my baking there. You would need a toaster oven that lets you set to a specific temperature and it is beneficial to have one that lets you set a timer. Mine actually has a timer that will turn off the unit rather than just alerting me that it is done, which is absolutely wonderful.
- Place your work board on the table or counter you will be working on and use the masking tape to secure it in place. I used an acrylic sheet to work and roll out my clay as it is easier to clean and will not suffer from color transfer. Do not use paper as the clay will stick. Aluminum foil would work in a pinch, but can tear while you are working. If you decide to work directly on the table or counter surface I would recommend choosing. If you use an old cookie sheet make sure it is one you will NOT use for food preparation from that point on.
- Wrap cookie sheet in tin foil and set nearby.
- Select your clay and remove the cellophane. If you are making just one set of horns you can cut off only the amount needed and minimize how much you must work, if you are making them in bulk best to just work the whole thing. Start to knead and work the clay until is more malleable. Roll it between the work surface and the palm of your hand, or just between both hands, until it is smooth and there are no seams. You should end up with a ball or a rope of clay.
- Use your clay knife to slice off enough clay for the approximate size horn you desire, then slice a second segment the same length, make sure that the sections are roughly the same amount of clay.
- Once you have your clay start working it into the horn shape you desire by sculpting it with your fingers and tools (see below). Make sure the base is both flat and a bit wide for stability.
- When you have your horn in the proper shape take your clay drill or skewer and very carefully pierce the side of your horn until it goes all the way through. This hole is for the elastic that will hold the horns onto the head. Be sure to smooth the edges of the hole where the clay pushes out, but don't press too hard or you will close up the opening. Repeat on the other horn, making sure that the holes are in the same orientation.
- When complete place the horns on the cookie sheet and either move on to baking, or create more sets of horns. Make sure the horns are in the upright position as much as possible any surface touching the pan will flatten and take on a glossy finish in reaction to the foil.
- Set your oven or toaster oven to 275 degrees. (do not set higher).
- Set your timer to 25 minutes. (package recommends 15 minutes for every ¼ inch of depth but I find 25 minutes is sufficient for my horns no matter the size).
- Once the temperature is up to speed slide the cookie sheet into the oven, making sure the horns do not touch the sides if you are using a toaster oven, in those instances where you are making many sets at once.
- Activate the timer.
- Once the horns are done baking remove them and set them aside to cool. Do not touch them until they are completely cool as the clay will be very hot and will not completely harden until cool.
- (optional) take the brush-on gloss and glaze your horn. It will give it a bit of a protective surface and it will also bring out the colors, which dull and darken a bit after baking; or, for effect, glaze only part in a pattern, such as with spiral horns. Let them dry completely before handling. You may need more than one coat and be sure to get all spots if you are not purposely only glazing part of the surface.
- Take the elastic cord and measure it to fit your head, leaving a little extra so you can tie it off. Don't make it too tight, just enough to hold the horns firmly in place.
- String the horns on the elastic, making sure that they are both in the same orientation, then holding both ends of the elastic together, make a double knot.
Pull the elastic very tight from both sides, then place a drop of super glue on the knot to ensure it will not unravel. Trim off any excess. If you discover you have tied it too loose, just repeat the process a little above the existing knot. You do not want it tight enough to press into your skin, but the horns should rest in place without shifting. If it is too tight you will have to cut the elastic and try again.
- Leather or cloth cording can be uses in place of the elastic, but they will be more visible. If you chose this route trying and find something close to the hair color of the person that will be wearing the horns.
- If the person wearing the horns has an issue with things tied around their head you can skip drilling the hole and use craft glue to attach the horns to a bandana (cut holes, poke the horns through, and then glue on the underside), to a headband, or to a hat. You could also connect directly to a wig.

2400hp Unicorn Vette!
If you haven't seen pictures or videos of this CRAZY corvette, you must have been living under a rock! We finally had the chance to see what it's all about at this fall's Texas Invitational, and we were NOT disappointed! Equipped with two MONSTER 88mm turbos that both stick out of the hood, and an additional 400 shot of Nitrous..it's easy to understand this car's biggest problem is TRACTION. Since the car was originally built and set-up for drag racing, it had some inevitable traction problems that will likely be sorted out once they have an opportunity to adjust the suspension for roll-racing. Maybe then, we will see the 200 mph pass we were looking for!!

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan is currently going through a some troubles at the courthouse. After not showing up for court recently, the actress is now forced to wear a SCRAM bracelet to monitor her alcohol consumption. She's no stranger to the monitoring bracelets, she had to wear one back in 2007.
Tagging along with her girlfriend Samantha Ronson on a trip to London, Lindsay Lohan was spotted out shopping it up in the UK capital city on Thursday (November 13).
The "Mean Girls" starlet first ventured into a small unique store called Lipsy where she browsed the racks before going to Top Shop on Oxford Street.
They arrived in the city of London yesterday via Heathrow International Airport, and last night Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson wasted no time immersing themselves in the LDN nightlife.
The "Labor Pains" actress and her superstar deejay girlfriend were spotted arriving at Chinawhite nightclub looking like they were ready to party.
These two just love to travel! And earlier today Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson flew from Los Angeles, California to London, England, arriving at Heathrow International Airport.
The "Labor Pains" actress and her deejay lover were hounded by the paparazzi as they made their way through the terminal, though it appears Ronson made a separate exit from LiLo.
In a familiar scene, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were spotted preparing to depart out of LAX International Airport yesterday (November 11).
The "Mean Girls" actress and her celebrity deejay girlfriend had to fight their way through the mass of paparazzi, with Lindsay hiding beneath a black hoodie, while Sam opted for a white hoodie.
Out and about in Beverly Hills, California, Lindsay Lohan was spotted picking up some jewelry she had cleaned at XIV Karats LTD before heading over to Starworks with a few friends.
Always self-promoting, LiLo was sporting a pair of black leggings from her own 6126 line along with a longsleeved black top and black leather knee-high boots.
Enjoying a fun-filled end to their week, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were spotted arriving at Pure nightclub at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas last night to promote Lohan's new line of leggings.
The "Mean Girls" hottie looked a bit rushed as she posed for the paparazzi, sporting a black minidress with blue suede heeled ankle boots, while her deejay girlfriend opted for a white t-shirt with a black vest and black trousers.
Usually when any one of these ladies shows up at an event it's a big deal. But at last night's Dsquared2 and W Event, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and Sophia Bush all lit up the Chateau Marmont Penthouse 64.
"Labor Pains" actress Lindsay Lohan looked to be having a marvelous time as she sat and chatted with party guests while smoking like a chimney.
Their relationship has never been the conventional type. And yesterday, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson did everything from jewelry shopping to a therapy session.
The "Mean Girls" hottie and her deejay girlfriend were spotted out and about in Beverly Hills, starting off their day with a delicious lunch.
Always an avid lover of clothes, Lindsay Lohan was caught leaving a West Hollywood boutique after taking part in a little retail therapy on Wednesday afternoon (November 5).
According to a source on-the-scene, the hard-pressed for work actress kept to herself at first, but upon seeing the paparazzi she offered up a friendly smile.
With Samantha Ronson nowhere to be seen, Lindsay Lohan was all smiles as she voted in the general election in Los Angeles on Tuesday (November 4).
Dressed casually in knee-high boots and her signature leggings, LiLo smiled for the cameras as she exited the polling station after her ten minute voting session.

The 14 books that ethical hacker Ankit Fadia had written so far were just about, well, ethical hacking and cyber security. His 15th, however, claims to improve the quality of your 'digital life'. Named Faster: 100 Ways to Improve Your Digital Life, Ankit says the book unravels digital tricks that make the internet and your mobile world more accessible.
In Chandigarh on Friday to launch his book, Ankit says, "The book shares easy-to-read, simple tips, tricks and tweaks that will show you how to stretch the limits of technology and make your digital life faster, cooler and more productive. Internet and mobile phones are an integral part of our lives, but rarely do I come across people who are putting technology to its best use; in this book you will find those various possibilities."
The 300-page book is divided into four main sections —Functionality & Productivity, Look & Feel, Security and Fun Stuff — where each section provides readers with practical tips and tricks. Sharing a few examples, he says, "From faking an incoming call on your phone (to get out of an awkward situation) to blocking calls, from staying invisible on Whatsapp to remembering where your car is parked, from accessing blocked websites to creating a
disposable email account — the possibilities are endless."
Besides the book, Fadia also launched his new tech show, Geek on the Loose, for YouTube's channel. "Two shows will be uploaded on the YouTube channel every week. It is going to be an online community for my followers and book readers. I will share with them simple tips that allow them to use technology to the fullest while having fun. Within the past few weeks, the show has received 75,000+ views on YouTube," says he.
