More a boutique hotel or private club than a lounge, this is a venue where spending time is a pleasure. This is somewhere to savour. Warm and inviting, elegant and exclusive, our new lounge begins your unparalleled Qatar Airways experience long before you board your flight.
The distinction is clear from the moment you enter. There's no conventional reception desk; instead you pass through calming spaces into the Palm Court, where Arabian water fountains soothe the senses and discreet greeters note your wishes on iPads.
This welcome not only sets the tone, it defines our difference: true world-class service.
Touches of our Middle Eastern heritage lie in the Arabic calligraphy on walls and carpets, the mosaics and the gentle sounds of water features.
Alongside these are hints of the Mediterranean in the blue tiles, and the atmospheric scents of real olive trees and herbs around the dining areas.
Food and dining are a natural focus; they're central to our notions of hospitality.
We offer everything from a quick bite and a relaxing drink to a gourmet dining experience. With each comes a sense of occasion and luxury: from our open theatre-style kitchen to our innovative deli counter.
Superlative service underpins everything.
If you'd like a light choice and casual experience, or prefer to spend only a brief while eating, then our Delicatessen is ideal.
Its unique format emphasises freedom and freshness. Select your ingredients from an extensive, organic and international range, and our team will create and serve your choice instantly.
Whichever way you'd like to spend your time, and whatever your wishes and requirements, our philosophy of understated but attentive 5-star service guarantees we endeavour to deliver.
Our fully equipped business centre offers you a complete service, including PC's and printers. We appreciate you also might want to stay connected, or work informally. So we provide discreet power sockets at every seat, plus wifi throughout the lounge.
We know feeling revived is vital to long haul travellers. That's why we've taken care to create superior facilities. Each private shower is part of its own large, spacious area, with heated floor and mirrors, and luxury brand products. Hotel-style towels and linens are complimentary.
We provide a full selection of international and local newspapers and magazines.
The Qatar Airways Premium Lounge is a unique experience, one to savour and enjoy. If your schedule permits, we recommend you allow yourself time to do so, fully extending your world-class experience long before boarding.
The Lounge access is for Qatar Airways and oneworld First and Business Class passengers only, and is open at hours that suit all Qatar Airways departures, even if you wish to arrive up to three hours advance of your flight. Located at Heathrow Terminal 4, on the same level as the departure gates.

How the Senate Divides up the Climate/Energy Issue
In the House, the committee chaired by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has jurisdiction over most matters touched on by the climate/energy bill. In the Senate, jurisdiction over the bill is divided between six major committees. This makes things complicated, since Congress does most of its work in its committees.
The House committee's membership made it an excellent crucible for producing a balanced comprehensive climate and energy bill. Even with most committee Republicans not involved in the drafting, there was a large enough majority of Democrats (36 out of 59) to pass the American Clean Energy and Security Act on Democratic votes alone. Moreover, committee Democrats were roughly divided between those eager to pass a bill and those more cautious, out of consideration for the bill's possible impacts on the manufacturing or energy sectors in their districts. This meant Rep. Waxman had to balance the bill's economic and environmental objectives just to get it out of committee.
This is not as true with the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), the committee largely in charge of writing the GHG cap-and-trade provisions of the bill. The committee is not quite as regionally diverse as the House Energy and Commerce Committee. This morning we heard that EPW Chairman Boxer plans to start holding hearings on the Kerry-Boxer bill around mid-November, presumably moving shortly thereafter to a "mark up" (the arcane term for when a committee formally amends and decides whether to pass a bill). EPW passed a cap-and-trade bill in 2007 and is expected to do so again this year. Even after it does so, however, it will take a few more twists and turns for the bill to win the support of 60 Senators.
One option for doing this would be to have all six relevant committees tackle the aspects of the climate issue within their jurisdiction. Eighty-one of the Senate's 100 members sit on at least one of these six committees. A robust committee process could therefore engage a much larger group of Senators than the 19 EPW members. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee (ENR) did in fact earlier this year pass a major bipartisan energy bill with provisions corresponding with many of the energy measures of the House bill. The ENR Committee is going to continue exploring the climate issue next Wednesday with a hearing on energy and economic effects of climate change legislation. Aside from ENR's bill, however, it is not clear at this point whether all relevant Senate committees will be sitting formally to address the climate aspects of the bill.
Another option would be for key Senators, those especially focused on the bill's implications for manufacturing, agriculture and energy supply, to rise up outside the committee process and engage in the specifics of the bill. In fact, several ad hoc groups of moderate Democrats have crafted statements on the factors that would need to be addressed in a climate bill, the use of trade measures, the amount of allowance value needed to prevent carbon leakage, and the treatment of coal, setting a good precedent for their engagement.
Regardless of process by which the Senate at large is engaged, observers expect Senate Majority Leader Reid ultimately to be the one to forge the various inputs into a 60-vote bill – no doubt with major input from the President. I will write more on this in a later post.

How to lower depression
Hi All,
Here are some effective tips to lower depression.
Engage yourself in regular workouts to lose and maintain healthy body weight and sooth stress. Talk with family and friends and share your problems with them. Practice giving back and accept the things you cannot change. Remember to laugh, try not to worry and quit alcohol, smoking and caffeine. Get enough sleep and give up the bad habits.
21st June 2013 02:45 AM #2
Hi everyone,
Thanks for sharing these useful ways to reduce the chance of suffering from depression.
Postnatal depression occurs in around 1 in 5 of all births. It generally starts within 4-6 months following birth (although it does start later in some cases) and often results in a woman feeling unable to cope and unable to break out of a low mood. It is more common in women who have experienced any form of depression before.
As Hary says above, it's so important to talk about your feelings. Having a new baby is a life-changing event and can leave us feeling anxious, unknowledgeable or unprepared. Often it helps just to know others are feeling the same - which is why counselling groups offer excellent support. There are also national depression phone-lines for if you do not feel you can go to a local support group.
Interestingly, research shows the postpartum depression is reduced in mothers who breastfeed and also those who babywear (wear their baby in a sling for a significant proportion of the day). Some studies cite that consuming the placenta (in tablet form) also helps to reduce post-partum depression.
Please keep talking to those around you if you feel depressed and remember you are not alone and it is not your fault that you are feeling like this. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help you if you are happy with this route.
Best wishes,

Good point ElizaSeyler - people who exercise daily have been shown to suffer less from all forms of depression. Yoga helps to relax and de-stress the mind and body.

Hi! Me, whenever a depression struck me, I eat green apple, exercise, yoga, or jog. Something that will make me feel happy. What makes you happy? Well, me, I like going out to malls and window shop for my kid. Well, as you can see, since we are already a mum, we cannot just buy things for ourselves anymore. We now consider things now. Anyways... after eating fruits or hot choco (of course chocolates makes us happy, hehe) makes me feel hyper and wanted to run through the neighbors. After that im so tired all i wanted to do is take a shower and relax, read a book about parenting. It is nice feeling after the work out and have some quiet time with you Bub.

Great advice Loann - thanks
I read some research which showed that being outside each day helps to lower depression and the same is true of exercising and eating healthily.
I think that it's important to take care of yourself and value yourself. Just because you are a mum doesn't mean you don't need some 'time out' doing special things or simply relaxing.

This week Pratt Institute's School of Architecture launched an exhibition of Cold War-era prefab housing systems. Called "COLD War COOL Digital" and held in conjunction with a Feb. 28 symposium, the show takes a look at 20 modernist prefab housing systems. 6 of the highlighted prototypes came from the USSR, and several from France, and many of them were adapted worldwide to different climates and cultures. "There were 190 million apartments built using this technology during the 50s, 60s and early 70s," says Catherine Ingraham, a Pratt architecture professor and the show's curator. "In a way what I think the show does is show how these big, rigid systems began to transform."
The Feb. 28 symposium will feature an international roster of speakers and will "look at new digital prototypes for composite construction," Ingraham says. COLD war COOL digital will run through March 20 at Pratt's Brooklyn campus; click here for details on the exhibition and symposium.

Mass murderer Anders Breivik complains about 'inhumane' temperature of his prison coffee
posted at 2:13 pm on November 9, 2012 by Mary Katharine Ham
Ahh, Norway. He murdered 77 people in cold blood, was sentenced to a whopping 21 years, and is now complaining of violations of his human rights:
Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian mass killer, has complained about his conditions in prison, with grievances ranging from not being able to keep moisturiser in his cell to the temperature of his coffee.
The complaints are included in a 27-page letter to prison authorities obtained by the Norwegian tabloid VG which was published on Friday and verified by his lawyer…
Breivik said he was not getting enough butter to spread on his bread and that his cell was sparsely decorated and has no view.
He also said that the handcuffs he has to wear when being transferred are razor sharp and "cut into his wrists".
Other complaints concerned the daily searches of his cell and body searches, for which he had to get undressed, and restrictions placed on his correspondence.
He would also like more recreational and social opportunities.
Thank goodness Breivik at least is not serving his term in this insanely lavish Norweigian prison. Please check out the slide show. But his life ain't half bad, as Scandinavia prides itself on its prison conditions:
For example, other prisoners at Ila have access to school that offers courses from primary grade to university level courses, a library, a gym, work in the prison's various shops and other leisure activities. Because Breivik is held in isolation, without contact with other prisoners, he doesn't have access to those things. In compensation, Ila has given him three cells instead of one. Each is about 86 square feet (8 square meters.) One has gym equipment, another has a bed and the third a desk with a laptop computer. For at least one hour a day, he has access to a small courtyard surrounded by barbed wire.

1/2 cup fresh spinach
3 oz, crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini

I just installed BT 2.0 final on my USB flash drive, made it bootable and plugged it in my HP Pavilion dv1000 with a D-Link AirPlusG-650+ (I orderd a Ahteros card so dont worry ;-)). I start loading BT, but, when it start loading 'USB support' it gave a fatal error.
EDIT: I got it up and running! But, I dont know how to configure my wireless adapter! :S (Broadcom bcm4318) I keep getting a 'Invalid argument'..?


text: What I want to know is why Justin Bieber kept all this footage of him using the N word. Apparently the two videos that have been released to date were because someone managed to get their hands on an old Justin Bieber hard drive. Why would you keep that stuff? The first video released earlier this week took place when Bieber was 15. The one released yesterday was when Justin was 14 years old. Now there are apparently another 20 minutes of footage remaining which also shows Justin Bieber using the N word. If they release a couple of minutes a week it could be a very long summer for Bieber. Apparently his management wants it all released as quickly as possible to get it over with as quickly as possible. In the age of the 24 hour news cycle or even shorter, people will forget about it fairly quickly, but if they are continually reminded of it all summer or for the next several weeks it is probably going to have some type of long term damage to his career.

Same here. I tried both rtl8187 and r8187 (TUTORIAL: Installing driver RTL8187, r8187, rt2800usb on Ubuntu Jaunty and Lucid) and yes, I'd say the AWUS036H is definitely an over-hyped wlan adapter.
Hello forum,
First of all, thanks and congratulations on all the effort you put in here, I've found tones of information that helped me get started in this whole new area to me. The reason I signed up is to share my experience (and hear your thoughts about it) with the all-promising Alfa AWUS036H usb wlan adapter. After lots of research online I found that this is the best bargain out there for us errr... wi-fi enthusiasts.
Indeed, after receiving my AWUS036H, bundled with a second "9" dbi omni, I plugged it in and I could immediately see a couple of AP's more in the airodump. Also the signal would fly high (+6 up to +10) compared to my laptop's built in bcm43xx adapter which put a big smile on my face. After removing the "default" 5 dbi omni and connected the bigger 9dbi omni the signal instead of increasing it dropped down. I said ok, bad quality omni, so from thereon I continued using the 5 dbi omni (which kinda removed the initial smile from my face).
When testing with my AP, all the aircrack suite worked like a charm, but then again, so it did on my old bcm43xx. so i decided to push it a bit further. From a greater distance I was able to crack my AP fine but oddly enough, I couldn't connect to it! However the signal report was around -70. At that signal level I for sure could connect with my bcm43xx!
Then another observation came along. After starting airodump on alfa, I started a wifi station nearby (between my AP and my main laptop) and launched an mp3 streaming app on it. I realized that airodump was reporting very few packets coming in.
Immediately I started airodump on my bcm43xx at the same time in order to compare the results and I realized that my poor bcm43xx was reporting packets at a steady faster pace. Also, bcm43xx was reporting beacons like crazy!
in fact, after launching airodump on both cards at the same time, after 8 mins the results were something like this:
Beacons: 1180
Station Packets: 743
Beacons: 2826
Station Packets: 1341
(the results were analogous with other BSSIDs they happened to detect)
Funny thing is that at the same time my BCM43XX was reporting an additional station (some neighbor's) but the "mighty" Alfa didn't even notice it. It looks like Alfa goes crazy about AP's but doesn't really like stations.
I should mention that my tests were done on both Ubuntu 9.10 and BT4 and I got the same results. I also tried different settings for the alfa, like changing the txpower setting from 20 up to 30, changing the rate and many other configurations but still got the same results.
After reading in many forums I found out that many users had similar problems. In particular, many believe that Alfa is in fact reporting higher signals from what it actually perceives. Many also reported that Alfa is having a trouble maintaining a connection (that sounded weird... )
What do you guys think?
I would love to here your opinions, especially from anyone who disagrees (so that I can ask him/her how on earth he/she configured it in order to give better results)
Also, what alternatives would you suggest to this (from what I've seen so far) over-hyped wlan adapter?
Thanks and sorry for the long post
Same here. I tried both rtl8187 and r8187 (TUTORIAL: Installing driver RTL8187, r8187, rt2800usb on Ubuntu Jaunty and Lucid) and yes, I'd say the AWUS036H is definitely an over-hyped wlan adapter.
At this point I assume your BCM is a built in card, with a built in antenna. Not knowing your knowledge of antenna's, I'll start out with the basics if you don't mind.
The alfa has a very good chipset, and it's quite sensitive too (I have both an alfa and an imitation, both with the RTL8187). They both beat every single built-in card out there.
However, you need to use the external antenna right. Yours came with a 5 dBi omni (which kind of weirded me out, mine came with a 3 dBi). How is it set up in relation to the access point?
See, despite it being called an omnidirectional antenna, it's true signal is NOT. If you have the antenna on a 90 degree angle in relationship to the floor, the pattern looks like a giant donut. It radiates to the sides, but picks up very little from the top. The radiation field gets more narrow the longer your antenna gets, so that's also something to factor in. For example, when I go wardriving (just mapping the neighbourhood networks, that's legal here) I use a 10 dBi omni for the outskirts single-2 story buildings, but a 3-6 dBi omni if there are higher buildings.
So that would be the first thing I'd try, make sure the antenna is used optimally. Sorry if you already know this, but I figured I'd start with the most simple solution
I have had similar problems with connecting to APs, but mostly just 2wire routers (AT&T). I can make an initial connection with my ALFA (can ping Google and everything) but I lose it within minutes. (most APs connect properly though). I definitely get more APs with Alfa than any other card I've used and am pretty happy with it.
Using 5DBI antenna (doesn't do that much more than the 3)
Keep in mind that just because you have a 1 watt card doesn't mean the AP is strong enough to keep up given the distance.
have you upgraded your kernel on BT4 yet? It seams to help (as in doesn't happen as much but still does). supposed to be lots of hardware improvements.
I see what you mean. Unfortunately I don't know much about antennas, but the thing is, I tried this with my own AP in distances from 2-5 meters inside the house. I also put the antenna in different positions (the shorter one, not the "9" dbi one. THe 9dbi actually makes no effect - it is as if there is no antenna connected) but again got the same results. The beacons (as well as the packets) were coming in 2 or 2 1/2 times faster to the BCM (which is a PCI Express mini card inside my laptop). After observing the airodump-ng screen, It sort of looked like while my alfa was able to reach more AP's than my internal bcm, but somehow alfa was receiving half the packets
I was starting to think that my alfa was broken, but then I read similar posts in other forums and started wondering about the quality of the alfa card.
The latest thing I tried was to use the ieee80211 driver for the alfa instead of the mac80211 one. But again I got the same results.
same here. I actually got it since the linux driver for my laptops wifi doesn't support packet injection (or the card itself doesn't)... So it does the job. But I haven't noticed much difference with the default 5db antenna- even after putting the power level high high.
I actually have the same issue as the OP.
Connected to my own access point 10 meters away, I would get a fair connection. Connected to my neighbours access point 20-25 meters away, I recieve a high rate of data, although still inconsistant, and eventually the connection will drop.
I do not think it is an issue of sub-par card, but more-so to do with the OS being used and drivers loaded. It seems that amongst the users who report bad connectivity via RTL8187, they all report fantastic connectivity via Windows OS. Strange, I know.
It also does seem like the RTL8187 will gather much more connections than my inbuild Intel card, which connects to my AP and delivers a HIGH rate of packet delivery. It also seems the RTL8187 is able to inject packets over a much further distance and do it with ease (5dBi antenna).
My 20dBi antenna will be ariving soon, and I want to have a working consistant internet connection/Packet injection/recieve when this baby comes in my mail box. I dont think I will have it fixed in time though.
I am running Bt4R1 with kernel 2.6.34 believe it or not, and still on the same issue.
Wasn't there a fix recently, with the 802.11mac drivers?
yes, muts posted the fix for rtl8187 using vmware in the how to section

Wilkinson says the gel combats the "I had a run-in with a can of paint" defense.
The first step is to gel your hair and hit the gym to work on your fitness.
My stranger-friend left the room to let the gel mask sit on my face for a bit.
But waiting for a draft-Clark movement to gel turned out to be problematic.
Excuse me, ma'am, but when you say I've done nothing for my gel here I suppose you'll allow I've kept her and educated her?
The gel wobbled past him, slumped suddenly, flowed under a door.
Meantime, there's talk goin' on in this town concernin' the gel an' her livin' at Three Star.
But show me the daughter that could do better for herself than my gel's father has done for her.
I knew that Will wanted the gel—ay, and haven't I played him a trick on that very account?
You shall read it aloud to me, my gel—or, better still, I'll read it to you.
1899, as a chemical term, short for gelatin and perhaps influenced by jell. The invention of this word is credited to Scottish chemist Thomas Graham (1805-1869). Hair-styling sense is from 1958. The verb meaning "to become a gel" is attested by 1902; figurative sense is from 1958. Related: Gelled; gelling.
gel (jěl)
A colloid in which the disperse phase combines with the dispersion medium to produce a semisolid material. v. gelled, gel·ling, gels
To become a gel.
To convert a sol into a gel.
[second sense perhaps fr the notion of productively sitting still as a gelatin pudding does]

RIALTO - His mother called it a "last hurrah" before starting radiation therapy for a rare and aggressive form of leukemia.
Marcus Smith, 6, got a "spin around the block" in the Fontana Police Department's new Robinson R66 helicopter, which sports a powerful turbine engine.
Officially, Marcus didn't have much to say about the ride, other than "those things on the ears (headphones) were boring."
But his mother, Antoinette Smith, 38, said he looked out the window the whole time and kept pointing out things for her to see.
And on the ride home afterward, he briefed his sisters, Courtney, 7, and Kristen, 4, about the trip, Smith said.
The two girls would have liked to have taken a helicopter ride but couldn't fit into the cockpit.
The helicopter ride started outside the Fontana Police Department's hangar at the Rialto Municipal Airport and continued with a flyover of Smith's Fontana house and Auto Club Speedway, and back to the hangar in Rialto.
On Wednesday, Marcus will begin four days of radiation therapy on his head and spine, followed on Jan. 7 by four days of radiation therapy over the rest of his body, his mother said.
"Both have many potential side effects," Smith said.
The head and spin therapy is the most dangerous, she said, with brain damage among the potential unintended consequences.
Marcus' life depends on finding a match for a bone-marrow transplant. Potential donors will be screened at an event Jan. 6 at Etiwanda Gardens.
"They say it's only about a 50 percent chance the bone-marrow procedure will work," Smith said. "If it does, he will remember today for the rest of his life."
Marcus was diagnosed with his difficult-to-cure leukemia in July.
The turbine engine helicopter used by the Fontana Police Department is the first of its kind to be manufactured by Torrance-based Robinson Helicopter Co. It has been flown by Fontana for about a month.
The department also operates a Robinson R44, which is smaller and less powerful.
Fontana police have teamed up with the Colton, Rialto and Redlands police departments to provide air support for patrol operations, which helps defray Fontana's expenses for operating two helicopters.

The Lakers' pre-season is under way, and fans are wondering where they're going to watch Steve Nash drop a dime.
Time Warner Cable Sports has exclusive rights to the team's games, and it's playing tough zone defense in Southern California.
How long this will last is unclear.
As of Friday afternoon, Time Warner Cable Sports was still discussing broadcast rights with other program providers, but there was no indication if a deal might be reached in time for today's exhibition against the Utah Jazz.
"Negotiations with TV providers to carry Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes are ongoing," Time Warner Cable Sports said in a statement.
"There is a significant demand from Lakers fans for these two networks and we are working very hard to reach agreements with all TV providers in Southern California so that fans can watch the games they love."
Those talks include DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T U-verse, Verizon Fios, Comcast, Charter Communications and Cox Cable. The deal between Time Warner and the Lakers was struck about a year ago.
"The Lakers are a big deal for us," said Dave Widor, owner of Redlands-based Jersey Pizza sports pub, which has a contract with Verizon. "Especially now with the new players (Dwight Howard and Nash). It's going to be disappointing if we can't show the games."
Widor said he doesn't anticipate a switch to Time Warner.
"The only thing we can do right now is wait and see," Widor said. "If they don't get it, we just can't show the Lakers. We won't get a special provider just to get the Lakers."
Spectators, a sports bar in Ontario, has been showing Lakers games as long as they've been on TV, said manager Noreen Weakland.
But it doesn't have Time Warner -- its cable provider is Direct TV, which means it won't be showing the purple and gold once the basketball season starts.
"I'm sure we're gonna take a hit," Weakland said.
Football is the bar's primary sport, but in the last five to seven years there has been an increase in basketball fans.
"Once (the Lakers) started winning, we could see the crowds get bigger," Weakland said.
The bar will stick with DirectTV -- for the NFL package -- and prepare for a slower basketball season.
"As far as I know there's nothing we can do," she said.
TWC has about 1.7 million of the 5 million TV homes in Southern California. DirecTV is second with about 1.1 million.
Eureka Burgers in Redlands also has Direct TV.
Manager Amy Hundley is one of many restaurant owners disgusted with the situation.
"My gut instinct is that it's one of those lockout deals where they will go back and forth," Hundley said. "Ultimately, Time Warner is buffaloing everyone."
TWC is asking for $3.95 per subscriber each month for both the SportsNet and Deportes channels, a rate among the highest ever charged for a regional sports network.
San Bernardino-based Celebrities Sports Grill has shown Lakers games in the past via Direct TV.
But Celebrities' owner Ahmet Karabas has a bigger problem.
"We called (Time Warner) and asked," Karabas said. "They told us they don't service our area."
Karabas added, "We have a sports bar. We have to have the Lakers. No Lakers, no business. And I have to explain to everyone, person by person, why we don't have Laker games."
Negotiations are expected to reach a conclusion before the first regular season game on Oct. 30, which has the Lakers at home against Dallas, but is already set for national coverage by cable channel TNT.
John Flores, manager of the Finish Line Sports Grill on the Fairplex complex in Pomona, saw the deal coming.
"It seems like they are are doing this kind of thing now," Flores said. "They got the Pac12 Network and things like that. It just seems like this is the way things are going."
The Finish Line Sports Grill offers the Dish Network and Direct TV, getting horse wagering from the Dish Network and the sports package from Direct TV.
"Now we just have to decide if we want to pay to get the Lakers," Flores said.

Occupy 1787: USC to celebrate Constitution Day Sept. 17
By Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-7704
Whether it is the Occupy movement or the Tea Party, opposition to popular government is as relevant today as it was in 1787 when the U.S. Constitution was debated intensely.
The value of that dissent and the role early critics of the Constitution played in forming America's democratic culture will be the topic of the University of South Carolina's annual Constitution Day lecture Sept. 17.
Robert W. T. Martin, a political science scholar from Hamilton College, will deliver this year's lecture, at 7 p.m. in Gambrell Hall auditorium. Titled "Occupying Philadelphia in 1787: the Constitution's Critics and the Birth of the American Democratic Culture," the event is free and open to the public.
"Our current political culture is very much the outgrowth of earlier struggles, developments and set-backs. The Occupy and Tea Party movements are just a couple of examples of this continued tradition," Martin said. "Questions of who is in a position -- politically, economically and practically -- to speak and be heard, as well as what is acceptable to say, are just as relevant now as they were in 1787."
While 18th-century debate over the proposed Constitution was rarely bitter, Martin said it was serious, intense and heartfelt.
"The very future of popular government, both in the new country and across the globe, seemed at stake. And it probably was," he said. "In the end, ratification was a close call, with even supporters unsure of the likely outcome well into mid-1788. Even with formal ratification in late June of 1788, prospects were unclear, since without New York's still-pending ratification, the new country would have been left split in half geographically."
Martin, professor and chairman of the political science department at Hamilton, has written books on Alexander Hamilton and the freedom of the press. His lecture at USC will draw largely from his forthcoming book, "Government by Dissent: Protest, Resistance, and Radical Democratic Thought in the Early American Republic," which will be released next spring by New York University Press.
Originally from Connecticut, Martin says he always has been interested in politics, philosophy and teaching, but that his passion for history, particularly in early America, was ignited by his study of politics today.
"Research into our current political debates convinced me that the roots of these issues were all in the Founding era," Martin said.
The proposed U.S. Constitution was signed by delegates at the Philadelphia convention on Sept. 17, 1787. In 2004, the late Robert Byrd of West Virginia led an initiative to make Sept. 17 a national day of observance. Constitution Day was first celebrated in 2005.
The university's annual commemoration is sponsored by the Office of the Provost, the College of Arts and Sciences and its department of political science and the School of Law.

DALLAS -- Dave & Buster's Inc. said it lost $7.3 million in fiscal 2010, ended Jan. 30. Closing the Nashville restaurant and entertainment center, damaged by last year's flood, accounted for most of the red ink. Pretax losses before including an income tax gain were even higher at $10.4 million for the year.
The company said it saw its long-term debt spike 53% and interest costs jump 47%. Total revenues for the year increased 0.1% to $521.5 million from $520.8 million for the comparable period last year. D&B's saw a 1.9% decline in comparable store sales for the year.
When releasing the latest financial report, Dave & Buster's executives focused on the positive fourth quarter. During the fourth quarter, the 57-unit chain of restaurants and arcades for grownups chalked up $4.5 million in profits. Same-store sales for the first 10 weeks of the new fiscal year rose 5.3%.
Chief executive Steve King said the company experienced broad-based sales momentum including stronger walk-in traffic and special events business during early 2011. "We're off to the best start we've had in years," he said.
Dave & Buster's operates in 24 states and Canada.

Gator soccer wins at Tennessee
Published: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 10:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 10:41 p.m.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Florida took a big step Friday toward at least sharing the SEC regular-season soccer title with two matches to play by defeating Tennessee 3-0.
The Gators improved to 7-2 in the SEC and to 13-3-1 overall, while the Volunteers dropped to 2-5-2, 7-7-3.
Havana Solaun scored on a penalty kick with 44:21 left in the second half before scoring again when her corner kick went in the goal. It was her second double-goal match of the season and fourth of her career.
Freshman Savannah Jordan scored off an assist from Taylor Travis to push UF's lead to 3-0 at the 81:53 mark of the match. It was Jordan's 16th goal of the season.
The Gators return home for a 3 p.m. match Sunday against Texas A&M.

Kara DioGuardi
A baby is on the way for Kara DioGuardi and her husband, Mike McCuddy, the songwriter announced on Wednesday (January 16).
After struggling with infertility issues for several years, the couple opted for gestational surrogacy to start their family.
Kicking off her eight week run on the Broadway stage, Kara DioGuardi made her debut as Roxie Hart in "Chicago" at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City on Tuesday night (September 6).
After treating the audience to a fabulous portrayal of the merry murderess, the former "American Idol" judge made a curtain call alongside fellow cast member Amra-Faye Wright before disappearing backstage.
Fulfilling her latest bout of judging duties, Kara DioGuardi paid a visit to Times Square in New York City earlier today (June 16).
The 40-year-old singer-songwriter, who is in the Big Apple to pick the winner of Folger's Coffee Jingle Live contest, looked beautiful in a bright blue dress and nude pumps as she made her way to the coffee company's event.
Celebrities and high-profile events go hand-in-hand, and last night (June 15) a bevy of big names were present at the Grand Opening of Dream Downtown hotel in New York City.
"New Moon" stud Kellan Lutz showed up for the shindig, as did "Gossip Girl" babe Kelly Rutherford.
Revealing the frightening yet funny truth, Kara DioGuardi has dished the details about the time she unknowingly ate a plate of pot brownies from Paula Abdul's house!
While visiting the "Lopez Tonight" show, the "Platinum Hit" star explained that, while staying at Paula's pad, she returned home to a batch of delicious-looking brownies.
Paying a visit to the morning news program, Kara DioGuardi was spotted arriving at the "Today" show at New York City's Rockefeller Plaza earlier today (April 26).
The songwriter looked stunning as she made her way to the studio in a red, belted dress and black strappy heels.
She's just been slapped with a lawsuit stemming from a 2010 car crash that allegedly left one man with a neck injury, but Kara DioGuardi says she wasn't even in the car at the time!
The legal action has been taken by Joel Postorino, who claims he suffered a serious disk injury after a woman driving Kara's co-registered vehicle hit the back of his Porsche at an L.A. intersection last year.
She's just revealed some jaw-dropping details about her life in her new book, and now Kara DioGuardi has let us in on her embarrassing "American Idol" finale moment - peeing her pants!
The singer-songwriter took to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" earlier today (April 20) to admit that she did indeed pee her bikini on the show's season 8 finale.
On the brink of the release of her new memoir, it was revealed that Kara DioGuardi was molested and later date raped by a music producer.
In Helluva High Note, the former "American Idol" judge admitted that she was repeatedly molested by a teenage family friend when she was 11 years old.
Never one to sit still for long, Kara DioGuardi has been picked up by another judging gig on an upcoming TV show.
The former "American Idol" babe is set to be head critic on a new song-writing competition on Bravo called "Going Platinum."

text: A friend found this in a book of essays and sent me a scanned copy. I've never seen it online. I have transcribed it here for your enjoyment. I apologize for any errors in transcription. -Archivist. Daily Express, 13 February 1929. Evelyn Waugh BEAU BRUMMELLS on £60 A YEAR. Of course, there is really only one way of being perfectly dressed - that is, to be grossly rich. You may have exquisite discrimination and the elegance of a gigolo, but you can never rival the millionaire if he has even the faintest inclination towards smartness. He orders suits as you order collars, by the dozen. His valet wears them for the first three days so that they never look new, and confiscates them after three months so that they never look old. He basks in a perpetual high noon of bland magnificence. It is useless to compete against him. If your object in choosing your clothes is to give an impression of wealth, you had far better adopt a pose of reckless dowdiness and spend your money in maintaining under a hat green and mildewed with age a cigar of fabulous proportions. If, however, you have no intention of deceit, but simply, for some reason, happen to like being well dressed, it is essential to have at least two tailors. There are about a dozen first-rate tailors in London whose names you may always see quoted by the purveyors of 'mis-fit' clothing. Below them are about a hundred rather expensive eminently respectable unobtrusive shops in fashionable streets, where your uncles have bought their clothes since undergraduate days. Below them are several hundreds of quite cheap very busy little shops in the City and business quarters. The secret of being well dressed on a moderate income is to choose one of the first-rate and and one of the third-rate tailors and maintain a happy balance between them. There are some things, an evening tail-coat for instance, which only a first-rate tailor can make. On the other hand, the difference between a pair of white flannel trousers costing five guineas in Savile Row or George Street and one costing two guineas in the Strand is practically negligible. The same applies to almost all country clothes. It is not necessary or particularly desirable that these, except of course the riding breeches, should be obtrusively well cut. The chief disadvantage of small tailors is that they usually have such a very depressing selection of patterns. It is a good plan to buy all your tweeds direct from the mills in Scotland and to have them made up. Another disadvantage of the small tailor is that he never knows what is fashionable. At least once every eighteen months you should spend fifteen guineas in getting a suit in Savile Row, which will serve as a model for him. It is never wise to allow any one except a first-rate tailor to attempt a double-breasted waistcoat; in some mysterious way this apparently simple garment is invariably a failure except in expert hands. But you can safely leave all trousers which are not part of a suit, even evening trousers, which ought, in any case, to be made of a rather heavier material than the coat, to our less expensive shop. The most magnificent-looking traveling coat I ever saw had been made up for four guineas from the owner's own stuff by the second -best tailor in a cathedral town. It is usually an economy to buy your hosiery at an expensive shop. It is essential that evening shirts and waistcoats should be made to your measure; cheap ties betray their origin in a very short time. There is only one completely satisfactory sort of handkerchief - the thick squares of red and white cotton in which workmen carry their dinners. Socks wear out just as quickly whatever their quality, and are the one part of a man's wardrobe which ought never to attract attention. Expensive shoes are a perfectly sound investment, particularly if you keep six or seven pairs and always put them on trees when they are not in use. By taking trouble in this way a young man should be able to be more than ordinarily well dressed for less than £60 a year. ______________________________________£ s. d.

text: This post is very difficult as well as much needed, healing of sorts if you will. I have received more then a few emails, PM's and texts over the last 5 months from many of you wondering if I was ok and where I was at. I apologize for the lack of response. The last 5 months have been a very trying and difficult time in my life and I have been on a self seeking mission of sorts. Shortly after the season began my wife and I started to have some issues. I noticed something was wrong but working so many hours and being on the road a lot I was missing signs and missing facts. I soon found out my wife of 15 years had been having an affair and we seperated. It was very hard on myself and my 3 children. I went through a stage of depression, stopped caring about life and everything I enjoyed. I was just hanging on trying to make it. It stayed that way for a good time and then I decided I could let it control me or use it to my advantage. I discovered a lot about myself again as a person and as a father. Finally right after Christmas I made a major decision. I'll keep that to myself but long story short, I moved back to NY from SC and I have my 3 children with me. My relationship with my wife is stressed at best and a resolution looks impossible but I have been blessed and I'm preparing to start over. I'm currently in the process of trying to get permanent custody of my 3 children and starting to enjoy the things I gave up on. For a long time just coming to this board to check in was difficult, for the first time in my life I believe I may have caught a total of 3 hours of Cowboys football. None of it was important to me but I missed it. The good news is while I still have a lot of healing to do I'm back. I have my 3 kids, I'm enjoying things again and I'm finding there is a life out there for a single father of 3! Matter of fact, having your crap together and being a single father is a bit of a bonus when it comes to the attention of the ladies. I just wanted to stop in and thank all of you that have reached out for your concern and support and those that have offered prayers I ask that you keep me in mind and the journey and healing is not yet over. Thanks again!:starspin

FAA Considering Easing Mobile Device Restrictions
(New York, NY) -- Airline passengers may soon see relaxed restrictions on the use of mobile devices during flights. The FAA will take up the issue next week after it receives a recommendation from an advisory group. Currently, it's required passengers shut off e-readers, tablets and other electronics below ten-thousand feet to prevent interference with plane instruments. The agency will get the report on Monday, but it will not include recommendations on wider use of cell phones.

Photo Gallery: New job for Andrea Travis-Miller
Andrea Travis-Miller, the acting city manager for San Bernardino, has been selected as the next executive director of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments.
By a unanimous vote, the governing board on Thursday approved the hiring of Travis-Miller, who will lead the regional planning agency starting on Feb. 19 and who will be the first woman director in 17 years.
"It is another step forward for the COG. It gives us a measure of permanence," said Duarte City Councilman and agency board member John Fasana.
Travis-Miller was introduced to the board and received a round of applause.
"I'm excited about the opportunity, and I look forward to the challenges," she said.
Before the historic vote, she apologized for being late - she had just returned from federal bankruptcy court on a matter for the troubled city.
She said during her time remaining as acting city manager, "I want to assist the new city manager so there will be a seamless transition."
Travis-Miller received a two-year contract and will earn a salary of $175,000 per year, the board announced. She will be a full-time CalPERS employee but will have to pay the entire 7 percent of her retirement. She will have 15 vacation days, 10 days of administrative leave and a maximum of 20 sick days, according to her contract. She will be granted a $400-per-month car allowance, said COG attorney Dick Jones.
For the past eight months, Travis-Miller has been leading San Bernardino's efforts to reverse a declining budget and emerge from a municipal bankruptcy filing. She's played a critical role in that process, leaving some San Bernardino officials to lament the loss to their city.
She said it will be hard to leave the people of San Bernardino, whom she said are smarting from the effects of a bad economy, a high crime rate and a crisis in government.
"The community of San Bernardino has been good to me. I want to do everything I can before I leave to assist them," she said. Kevin Stapleton, the mayor of Covina and a COG board member, admired her loyalty to the city.
"Even when the city manager bailed, she stuck it out. It is that kind of loyalty and integrity you want to see in an executive director," he said.
She will replace the San Gabriel Valley council's interim executive director, Fran DeLach, who will step down. DeLach, who has worked as city manager of Covina and Azusa, is semi-retired and said he did not apply for the job.
Travis-Miller took over as acting city manager in San Bernardino in May, when then-City Manager Charles McNeely resigned after almost three years on the job.
Before McNeely, an interim city manager and the former assistant city manager had led the city since Fred Wilson left the city in 2008.
Travis-Miller had been assistant city manager since June 2011.
She declined to accept a permanent position as city manager, Mayor Pat Morris said at the time - before bankruptcy was known to be on the horizon - that he expected to hire a new city manager in four to six months.
The city's charter gives Morris authority to appoint a city manager, who must then be approved by the City Council.
Travis-Miller said she had accepted the new position on the condition that she is able to continue working in San Bernardino for 30 to 45 days and whenever her input was needed afterward, according to Morris. Morris said he thinks a new interim city manager from outside the city can be found by then.
Travis-Miller's base salary as acting city manager was roughly $213,000, which after a 10 percent giveback and contributions to the California Public Retirement System brought her pre-tax pay closer to $180,000, according to Morris.
That's on the low end of the salary range the city had approved for the position, which according to the state Controller's Office maxes out at about $289,000.
Two months after becoming San Bernardino's acting city manager, Travis-Miller presented a 45-page report recommending the city file for bankruptcy protection.
She and Finance Director Jason Simpson, who started at about the same time, uncovered accounting practices and financial facts that City Council members said were unknown to them and convinced them to become the third California city to file for bankruptcy in 2012.
Travis-Miller's professionalism was often praised as she guided the city through that bankruptcy filing, but she was also criticized as being slow to provide information or respond to City Council requests.

Results 73 to 84 of 163
Thread: We will go 8-8.
Re: We will go 8-8.
Houston - W (We load he box, stop Foster, while Flacco gives un early comfortable lead).
Browns - W (We dominate them in their stadium as we usually do. 'Nuff said.)
Oakland - W (Shoot out with Tucker kicking last second FG in close-than-expected game).
Pittsburgh - A high-scoring game the Ravens lose because Suggs, while dominant against the run, has't recovered his explosiveness as a pass rusher.)
S.D. - W. This team got worse since the last time we played them, and they've not really done anything.
Pittsburgh - Win, in blowout fashion.
Redskins - W. Close win, although RGIII lights our defense up with his legs.
Broncos - W. We jump out to an early lead, Manning leads another comeback, only to have it fall short on an (ironic) Willis McGahee fumble.
Giants - W. Ray Rice takes over this game, going 22/175, 2 TDs, 5 rec/83 yards.
Bengals - Loss. Starters rested, Bengals still fighting for WC spot.
Re: We will go 8-8.
And for that matter, why does anyone think San Diego will beat us? If we are looking at teams and how they've been playing(including the Ravens), I don't get it.
And everyone is ready to hand Houston the game this week too. Hello, they got blown out by the Packers at home. Have the Ravens been blown out this year even just once????? (for the record I am still picking Houston in this game, but it's no where near the mortal lock some would have you believe).
Re: We will go 8-8.
I have a question for you Redskins. If we beat the Texans this week, then what would your prediction be?
We? What's with the douche bag name if you're a Ravens fan?
Re: We will go 8-8.
But if it were another win where we give up 500 yds and only possess the ball for 20 min... then I would stand by my poor prediction for the remainder of the season.... although I guess it would probably be 9-7, since they got a win in a game where I predicted a loss.

Re: We will go 8-8.
Re: We will go 8-8.
Our pass rush remains a concern. Webb is a definate loss.
But why does everyone think there will be a dropoff in the LB corp with Lewis down? The Ravens defense played admirably the last time he went down, and dare I say it, better and more athletically with out him.
PS: as scary as Arian Foster is, Houstons WRs have been inconsistent and their offensive and defensive lines are both in shambles. I think the Ravens have a fighters chance at the end if Flacco, Rice and and co. can be efficient with their posessions throughout the game. That's really all you can ask for on the road, against a quality opponent.

Re: We will go 8-8.
I know I'm counted among the resident boo birds, but funny thing--I feel curiously upbeat about the rest of the season. Look at it this way:
The defense is now missing its first-ballot-HOF field general, the reigning DPOY, and one of the top young CBs in the league.
The offense is probably going to need to score points in bunches to keep the team in games, & while it has the hosses to do it, it has to do it with an OL consisting of 2 guys still learning their positions (Oher & KO) and 2 old guys who are an injury away from retirement.
I think we can all agree that the team is walking the cliff's edge right now: One more major injury (or, I hate to say it, Sizzle not making it back to playing condition this year) & they could easily go into freefall (remember 2007). And the so-called law of averages affords no protection--the chances of someone else getting hurt are pretty much the same as they were last Sunday morning.
They're 5-1. Tied for the best record in the AFC, with a 2 game lead in the division. Even if they lose at Houston they will still go into the bye week a game ahead of one divisional rival and 2 or more games ahead of the others, and in line for the #2 seed.
After Week 9--halfway through the season--the Ravens will still be no worse than tied for the top of the AFC North.
Can they do it? Can the underachievers elevate their games? Can real leaders step forward & guide them to do whatever it takes to win? Can the coaches get past any remaining preconceived notions & embrace whatever works??
I think the Ravens can still make it to the dance--10-6 ought to do it, & going 5-5 the rest of the way is a real possibility. (I don't know why I think that, but I just don't believe Harbaugh will allow a 2007-like collapse.) And then anything can happen. (And yeah, you might construe that as "whistling past the graveyard"--but in the current state of affairs, what's the alternative?)
Even if this season goes down the tubes, it won't be lost: We will learn so much more about what sort of team this is, what sort of players they have (& what sort they need to find), & how to reinvent it going forward.
For Ravens fans who can accept the adversity & put their disappointment behind them, it's gonna be a helluvan interesting ride.
