When personal injury is caused to an employee by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, of which the actual or lawfully imputed negligence of the employer is the natural and proximate cause, he shall receive compensation therefor from his employer, provided the employee was himself not willfully negligent at the time of receiving such injury, and the question of whether the employee was willfully negligent shall be one of fact to be submitted to the jury, subject to the usual superintending powers of a court to set aside a verdict rendered contrary to the evidence. 34:15-2. Defenses abolished. The right to compensation as provided by this article shall not be defeated upon the ground that the injury was caused in any degree by the negligence of a fellow employee; or that the injured employee assumed the risks inherent in or incidental to or arising out of his employment or arising from the failure of the employer to provide and maintain safe premises and suitable appliances; which said grounds of defense are hereby abolished. 34:15-3. Contract not to bar liability. If an employer enters into a contract, written or verbal, with an independent contractor to do part of such employer s work, or if such contractor enters into a contract, written or verbal, with a subcontractor to do all or any part of such work comprised in such contractor s contract with the employer, such contract or subcontract shall not bar the liability of the employer for injury caused to an employee of such contractor or subcontractor by any defect in the condition of the ways, works, machinery or plant if the defect arose or had not been discovered and remedied through the negligence of the employer or some one intrusted by him with the duty of seeing that they were in proper condition. This section shall apply only to actions arising under this article. 34:15-4. Death of employee. The provisions of this article shall apply to any claim for the death of an employee arising under sections 2A:31-1 to 2A:31-6 of the New Jersey Statutes. 34:15-5. Burden of proof. In all actions at law brought pursuant to this article, the burden of proof to establish willful negligence of the injured employee shall be upon the defendant. 34:15-6. Liens for legal services or disbursements.

16 Article 2. ELECTIVE COMPENSATION 34:15-7. Compensation by agreement; defenses; burden of proof. When employer and employee shall by agreement, either express or implied, as hereinafter provided, accept the provisions of this article compensation for personal injuries to, or for the death of, such employee by accident arising out of and in the course of employment shall be made by the employer without regard to the negligence of the employer, according to the schedule contained in sections 34:15-12 and 34:15-13 of this Title in all cases except when the injury or death is intentionally self-inflicted, or when intoxication or the unlawful use of controlled dangerous substances as defined in the New Jersey Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, P.L.1970, c. 266 (C. 24:21-1 et seq.), or willful failure to make use of a reasonable and proper personal protective device or devices furnished by the employer, which has or have been clearly made a requirement of the employee s employment by the employer and uniformly enforced and which an employer can properly document that despite repeated warnings, the employee has willfully failed to properly and effectively utilize, is the natural and proximate cause of injury or death provided, however, this latter provision shall not apply where there is such imminent danger or need for immediate action which does not allow for appropriate use of personal protective device or devices, and the burden of the proof of such fact shall be upon the employer or when recreational or social activities, unless such recreational or social activities are a regular incident of employment and produce a benefit to the employer beyond improvement in employee health and morale, are the natural and proximate cause of the injury or death. 34: Horseplay or skylarking on part of fellow employees. An accident to an employee causing his injury or death, suffered while engaged in his employment but resulting from horseplay or skylarking on the part of a fellow employee, not instigated or taken part in by the employee who suffers the accident, shall be construed to have arisen out of and in the course of the employment of such employee and shall be compensable under the act hereby supplemented 1 accordingly. 34: Claim based on cardiovascular or cerebral vascular causes; preponderance of credible evidence of proof of cause by work effort. In any claim for compensation for injury or death from cardiovascular or cerebral vascular causes, the claimant shall prove by a preponderance of the credible evidence that the injury or death was produced by the work effort or strain involving a substantial condition, event or happening in excess of the wear and tear of the claimant s daily living and in reasonable medical probability caused in a material degree the cardiovascular or cerebral vascular injury or death resulting therefrom. Material degree means an appreciable degree or a degree substantially greater than de minimis. 1 Compensation for personal injuries to, or death of employee, by accident arising out of and in course of employment, see 34:
17 34: Cardiovascular or cerebrovascular injury or death of police, fire or emergency personnel in response to emergency; presumption of compensability. 1.a. For any cardiovascular or cerebrovascular injury or death which occurs to an individual covered by subsection b. of this section while that individual is engaged in a response to an emergency, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the injury or death is compensable under R.S. 34:15-1 et seq., if that injury or death occurs while the individual is responding, under orders from competent authority, to a law enforcement, public safety or medical emergency as defined in subsection c. of this section. b. This section shall apply to: (1) Any permanent or temporary member of a paid or part-paid fire or police department and force; (2) Any member of a volunteer fire company; (3) Any member of a volunteer first aid or rescue squad; and (4) Any special, reserve, or auxiliary policeman doing volunteer duty. c. As used in this section, law enforcement, public safety or medical emergency means any combination of circumstances requiring immediate action to prevent the loss of human life, the destruction of property, or the violation of the criminal laws of this State or its political subdivisions, and includes, but is not limited to, the suppression of a fire, a firemanic drill, the apprehension of a criminal, or medical and rescue service. 34:15-8. Election surrender of other remedies. Such agreement shall be a surrender by the parties thereto of their rights to any other method, form or amount of compensation or determination thereof than as provided in this article and an acceptance of all the provisions of this article, and shall bind the employee and for compensation for the employee s death shall bind the employee s personal representatives, surviving spouse and next of kin, as well as the employer, and those conducting the employer s business during bankruptcy or insolvency. If an injury or death is compensable under this article, a person shall not be liable to anyone at common law or otherwise on account of such injury or death for any act or omission occurring while such person was in the same employ as the person injured or killed, except for intentional wrong. 34:15-9. Presumption as to acceptance of elective compensation provisions. Every contract of hiring made subsequent to the fourth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, shall be presumed to have been made with reference to the provisions of this article, and unless there be as a part of such contract an express statement in writing prior to any accident, either in the contract itself or by written notice from either party to the other, that the provisions of this article are not intended to apply, then it shall be presumed that the parties have accepted the provisions of this article and have agreed to be bound thereby. Every contract of hiring made or implied or in operation before the fourth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, shall be presumed to continue subject to the provisions of this article unless either party shall prior to accident, in writing, notify the other party to such contract that the provisions of this article are not intended to apply. 17
18 34: Employment of minors; extra compensation when illegally employed; exceptions. In the employment of minors, this article shall be presumed to apply unless the notice be given by or to the parent or guardian of the minor. If the injured employee at the time of the accident or compensable occupational disease is a minor under 14 years of age employed in violation of the labor law or a minor between 14 and 18 years of age employed, permitted or suffered to work without an employment certificate or special permit if required by law or at an occupation prohibited at the minor s age by law, a compensation or death benefit shall be payable to the employee or his dependents which shall be double the amount payable under the schedules provided in R.S. 34:15-12 and R.S. 34: The possession of such duly issued employment certificate shall be conclusive evidence for an employer that the minor has reached the age certified to therein and no extra compensation shall be payable to any minor engaged in an employment allowed by the law for the age and sex certified to in such certificate. If the certificate presented by the employee as one issued to that person shall have been really issued to another child and the real age of the employee shall be such that employment in any capacity or in the particular capacity the employee was employed by the employer was prohibited and if the employer shall show to the satisfaction of the Division of Workers Compensation that the employer accepted the certificate in good faith as having been issued to the employee and could not have, despite reasonable diligence, discovered the fraud, in such event no extra compensation shall be paid to the employee illegally employed. The employer alone and not the insurance carrier shall be liable for the extra compensation or death benefit which is over and above the amount of the compensation or death benefit provided under R.S. 34:15-12 or R.S. 34: Any provision in an insurance policy undertaking to relieve an employer from the liability for the extra compensation or extra death benefit shall be void. Nothing in this chapter contained shall deprive an infant under the age of 18 years of the right or rights now existing to recover damages in a common law or other appropriate action or proceeding for injuries received by reason of the negligence of his or her master. Nothing in this section regarding the payment of a compensation or death benefit in double the amount payable under the schedules provided in R.S. 34:15-12 and R.S. 34:15-13 shall apply to: members of a junior firemen s auxiliary established pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:14-95; employees, of the age of 18 years or under, employed in summer camps operated by the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts of America, the Knights of Columbus, the Young Men s Christian Association, the Young Women s Christian Association, the Young Men s Hebrew Association, or any domestic corporation organized solely for religious or charitable purposes; student-learners employed in a cooperative vocational education program approved by the State Board of Education; persons, 18 years of age or younger, participating, under the supervision of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, in volunteer programs in that part of the Palisades Interstate 18

Following is a schedule of compensation: a.

This compensation shall be paid during the period of such disability, not however, beyond 400 weeks. The amount of the maximum compensation shall be computed, determined, rounded out to the nearest dollar, and promulgated by the Commissioner of Labor on or before September 1 in each year based on said average weekly wages as of the calendar year preceding, and shall be effective as to injuries occurring in the calendar year following such promulgation. In any year in which the maximum benefit rate based upon said computation would not be increased or decreased beyond $1.00 in amount, the rate promulgated theretofore shall continue. b. For disability total in character and permanent in quality, 70% of the weekly wages received at the time of injury, subject to a maximum and a minimum compensation as stated in subsection a. of this section. This compensation shall be paid for a period of 450 weeks, at which time compensation payments shall cease unless the employee shall have submitted to such physical or educational rehabilitation as may have been ordered by the rehabilitation commission, and can show that because of such disability it is impossible for the employee to obtain wages or earnings equal to those earned at the time of the accident, in which case further weekly payments shall be made during the period of such disability, the amount thereof to be the previous weekly compensation payment diminished by that portion thereof that the wage, or earnings, the employee is then able to earn, bears to the wages received at the time of the accident. If the employee s wages or earnings equal or exceed wages received at the time of the accident, then the compensation rate shall be reduced to $5.00. In calculating compensation for this extension beyond 450 weeks the above minimum provision shall not apply. This extension of compensation payments beyond 450 weeks shall be subject to such periodic reconsiderations and extensions as the case may require, and shall apply only to disability total in character and permanent in quality, and shall not apply to any accident occurring prior to July 4, c. For disability partial in character and permanent in quality, weekly compensation shall be paid based upon 70% of the weekly wages received at the time of the injury, subject to a maximum compensation per week of 75% of the Statewide average weekly wages (SAWW) earned by all employees covered by the unemployment compensation law (R.S. 43:21-1 et seq.) and paid in accordance with the following Disability Wage and Compensation Schedule and a minimum of $35.00 per week.

Take a Seat Donation Campaign
Help support a renewed Carlsen Center
Maybe you love the theatre. Maybe you've been looking for a way to honor a loved one. Now's the chance to honor the arts with a donation to the Take a Seat campaign.
Coinciding with significant renovation of Yardley Hall, Polsky Theatre, the Carlsen Center lobby and the backstage area in summer 2016, Take a Seat offers you a unique naming opportunity.
For a donation of $650, your name, your business's name or the name of someone special to you can be engraved on a plaque on the back of a theatre seat.
Donations may be a one-time payment or split into recurring payments. Give the full $650 by Aug. 15, and your nameplate will be engraved, installed and on view by the first show of the fall season.
Call 913-469-3835 for more information or to donate by phone, or mail a check, payable to JCCC Foundation, to 12345 College Blvd., Overland Park, KS 66210. (To donate online, use the "Donate Now!" button above.)
"It's a very personal way to support the theatres," said Emily Behrmann, general manager of the Performing Arts Series at Johnson County Community College. "When the Carlsen Center opened in 1990, we missed the opportunity, so inviting our patrons to name a seat today seems an appropriate way to close the yearlong celebration of our 25th anniversary season."
Proceeds support programming that takes place as part of the JCCC Performing Arts Series. A contribution to Take a Seat and the subsequent recognition is a naming opportunity only, and in no way guarantees the seat location for any specific performance. All named seats will be in Yardley Hall, Center Orchestra, unless otherwise requested by the donor. Nameplates pictured are not actual size.
Greg Musil, chairman of the JCCC Board of Trustees, says he is excited about the naming opportunity.
"I plan to purchase a seat in honor of my daughters and niece and nephew, all of whom received a great education at our college, including in arts and culture," Musil said. "This is a lasting way of remembering the influence of JCCC on my family."
The 1,300 seats in Yardley will be recovered; Polsky's 420 seats are fine and do not need any work, Behrmann said.
Many thanks to the JCCC Board of Trustees for their support of the renovation project.

"They've been calling and it looks like they're gonna offer but there hasn't been anything yet," he said. "We'll know soon."
Curry, 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds, has already taken a visit to Pittsburgh and has another visit set.
"I'm going to Louisiana Lafayatte on the 8th," he said. "Me and Jaron are going together. I'm also looking at maybe visiting FSU and Ole Miss."
The talented lineman has two schools out in front of the rest of the pack.
"Right now, FSU and Pittsburgh are my top two," he said. "FSU is a great program and it's close to home. I loved it at Pittsburgh and can definitely see myself playing there."

Pearl Harbor
Directed by Michael Bay
Reviewed by Joe Lockard
Monday, May 28 2001, 11:51 AM
Call it the military-entertainment complex.
The opening of the summer's Big Film was a joint production of the US Navy and the Disney Corporation. This film was vault-launched off the decks of the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, which steamed over from San Diego and moored in Pearl Harbor to host a $5 million extravaganza party covered by droves of media.
There is little surprise in learning that there exists an aircraft carrier named after John Stennis, a former Mississippi senator who built his career on defending white supremacy, racial segregation and hyper-inflated Pentagon appropriations. A war machine named after Stennis has a certain ironic appropriateness. What does surprise is the ease with which the Disney Corporation can arrange for the Navy to sail over the horizon, a capacity that it used to be only Saddam Hussein could exercise by making nyah-nyah at the Great Satan.
The taxpayers could get much more value for money here. If they want to re-create Guadalcanal on film, maybe Disney's publicity operation could foot the refitting bill for the Mighty Mo? We could redo the whole of World War II -- at a profit this time. Considering how much of that war has already been re-fought in Cinevision, maybe Hollywood already has turned this account into black? Surely there are at least several taxpaying publics that deserve a percentage of profits for intellectual authorship of the war?
Hollywood has long been the clean-up hitter for the American military. When a half-million GIs in Vietnam couldn't do the job, then John Rambo could. If only Rambo could have been invented before the war, a lot of blood would have been saved. In terms of ideology, Rambo's effectiveness arguably was deeper and had longer-lasting results.
So what is the ideological work of the film version of Pearl Harbor? The opening night presence of the USS John C. Stennisis a first clue. This is not an innocent exercise in the retelling of traumatic history, as if innocence were possible. Where Pearl-Harbor-the-film tells a story of innocence lost, Hawaii-the-place was a center-point of US imperialism in the Pacific. Civilizing notions and the US military walked hand-in-hand into Hawaii, but that absent history provides the invisible organization behind the film's story.
Herman Melville described the imperial scene a century previous to this event, writing of watching a white missionary's wife in starched clothes being pulled to Sunday services by an old man and a young boy dressed in ragged duds. "Not until I visited Honolulu was I aware of the fact that the small remnant of the natives had been civilised into draught horses and evangelised into beasts of burden. But so it is. They have been literally broken into the traces, and are harnessed to the vehicles by their spiritual instructors like so many dumb brutes." With segregated white-native facilities, including whites-only parks and playgrounds, the spirit of white supremacy that Senator John Stennis represented was very much in control of the Hawaiian scene.
The US conquest of Hawaii and other Pacific territories was never an act of innocence, whereas the film's preferred imagery concerns innocent and well-meaning Americans drawn abroad by foreign evildoers. In reality, Americans went abroad of their own accord and clashed with other Pacific empires: the British, Spanish and Japanese. If Hawaii provides most of the film's setting, this is the Hawaii that is a military outpost of empire, a tropical fortress surrounded by Japanese-looking Injuns in dive-bombers. As an inhabited locale, Hawaii provides little more than lovely beach settings where lovelorn women write to their distant soldier-lovers and Japanese agents in Honolulu watch ships through binoculars. Pearl Harboris a romantic paen to a historical crisis in America's Pacific empire, one where another empire rose to challenge for primacy.
The film repeatedly employs images of innocence, but this is an innocence that could be maintained only through willful ignorance and oversight of the consequences of colonialism throughout the Pacific. In Hawaii, in this history that accepts the finality of US dominance, Americans were at peace. Then two boy scouts camping on a hillside watch waves of Japanese bombers fly overhead. The same sight interrupts an innocent Sunday morning baseball game and a young wife hanging laundry out to dry. The problem with such imagery is that it denies preceding realities of conflict and conquest, together with their repetitions.
Neither scouting nor sandlot baseball appeared on Hawaii without the 1887 'Bayonet Constitution' imposed by American businessmen or the 1893 overthrow of Queen Lili'uokalani's constitutional sovereignty. President Grover Cleveland called the annexationist coup "not merely wrong, but a disgrace" and the US Congress finally apologized for the overthrow on its centenary in 1993. Invasion and conquest are poor predicates for claims of innocence.
While nothing can mitigate Japan's criminal militarism, genocidal war crimes, and alliance with fascism, this does not excuse a film history that dislocates the events of Pearl Harbor from an awareness of US imperialism in the Pacific islands. When confronted with anti-colonial native resistance, the European powers meted out military retaliation on numerous occasions. As Melville wrote, "On arriving at their destination, they burn, slaughter, and destroy, according to the tenor of written instructions, and sailing away from the scene of destruction, call upon all Christendom to applaud their courage and their justice." Pearl Harbor lodges a belated complaint that Asians too, like Americans and Europeans, indulged in the same imperial violence.
Appropriately, the story opens in the continental United States. Pearl Harbor's lengthy introduction traces how two young boys, Rafe (Ben Affleck) and Danny (Josh Hartnett), from rural Tennessee become Army pilots before the war. As warriors-in-training, they are stand-ins for a generation that was about to go to war, and their bonding gives them a tactical advantage over the enemy that emerges more than once. It also creates the difficulty that after Rafe has been reported dead while fighting as a volunteer flier for the RAF, Danny begins an affair with Rafe's lover, Navy nurse Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale), when they are stationed in Hawaii together.
When Rafe returns from the dead, however, complications ensue such as might be expected. However, both Rafe and Danny set aside this masculine misunderstanding to fulfill their warrior roles batting down attacking Zeros over the skies of Pearl Harbor -- while wearing Hawaiian shirts, no less. Their friendship since childhood proves stronger than their competing desires for the same woman. Evelyn's ultra-femininity, lushly acted by Kate Beckinsale, serves both as the warrior's reward and a shared source of ultra-masculine bonding.
An admiral, watching Rafe and Danny walking together on the flight deck of the Hornet prior to the Doolittle raid against Tokyo, observes with admiration that such men have always emerged from the American nation at its darkest hours of crisis. These patriotic cliches ooze through the film.
Following Danny's death in a Chinese field after both have participated in the Doolittle raid, Evelyn and her once-and-now-again love Rafe return to Tennessee to raise the child who Danny never lived to see. In the final scene Rafe takes Danny's son, for whom he is now father, into the skies in an old biplane. A circle of masculinity has been completed, the new airman has both physical and spiritual fathers, and the reproduction of warriors goes on.
There's a great war to accompany this turkey of a love triangle. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay pulled out all the stops on the battle scenes and got the budget they needed for Industrial Light and Magic's special effects. Video game aesthetics have clearly affected the film's aerial dogfight scenes, which are skillful postmodern compositions -- including the view of a fighter running through a canyon-flying sequence between firing battleships. When a camera shot follows a Japanese bomb down onto the USS Arizona's foredeck, the video transmissions of smart bombs headed for an Iraqi military headquarters are redefining World War II action films. It's the stunning battle scenes that are driving the box office receipts, not the drippy romance.
While the directorial choreography of violence unquestionably sets a new screen standard, that same realism disappears when the results of violence appear. The camera goes alternately blurry and shaky in the hospital sequences, as if acknowledging that the unbearable moments of suffering and pain cannot be represented. Cinematic realism at such moments would, of course, turn this into an unwatchable horror film. As one Pearl Harbor veteran, Oscar Tully, commented in an interview, the scenes of men burning to death in oil fires were much worse than in the film: "It's fine they left it out of the movie. I don't ever need to see that again." When it comes to the reality of men screaming while burning alive, Pearl Harbor flinches.
Issues of race run through the film as it endeavors to explain how democracy is being defended when blacks cannot serve shipboard as more than cooks in a segregated Navy. Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays real-life Dorie Miller, a black cook who became a decorated hero when he took to the guns aboard a dying USS Arizona. The moment Gooding raises his fist in angry triumph after shooting down a Japanese fighter, the story becomes one of the Americanization of minorities through the agency of state violence. No longer will a black cook have to fight in the boxing ring for respect: the battlefield is about to become an equal opportunity employer.
Director Michael Bay says that the film tries to treat the Japanese "with reverence" and avoid the ethnic demonization of earlier Pacific war films. It largely succeeds in this policy, not surprising considering Disney's sensitivity as a multinational that must consider the variety of its audiences. Disney's Tokyo offices reportedly approved the script with very few comments. However, according to Variety, the marketing campaigns in Japan and Germany are emphasizing the love story over the battle, and the line "a few less dirty Japs" will be replaced with "a few less Japs."
With Wen Ho Lee, false espionage charges, and national-security allegiance anxieties about Asian-Americans, the film's portrayals raised concern in the Japanese-American Citizens League. In particular, they were troubled by one scene where a Japanese-American dentist in Honolulu answers questions on the US fleet in response to an international phone call. The incident appears as part of an espionage ring, but in real life the FBI investigated and cleared the dentist. That sort of historical inaccuracy hasn't troubled the hatemongers who have bombarded the League's offices with threatening e-mail and phone calls since the film opened. The San Francisco police force is patrolling heavily around theaters screening the film.
When the film ends and the theater empties, what ideological work has been done?
At a time when the Pentagon is asking for -- and the Bush administration is advocating -- larger military appropriations than ever before, part of the ideological work of Pearl Harbor is to carry forward a message that heroic soldiering needs heroic machines. The early and primitive radar installation that did not function sufficiently well to identify the Japanese attackers off the coast has its contemporary successors. Military intelligence that could not locate the Japanese fleet today needs satellites and photo-imagery analysis capacities sufficient to check every backyard in the world. The code machines that could not break the Japanese military code well enough have their present-day analogue in a National Security Administration that needs ever-more advanced supercomputers to keep up with the electronic threat horizon.
In short, readiness is the message. Would-be military budget cutters are those anti-patriots who would have the country witness the sight of flaming battleships and screaming sailors all over again. When the USS John C. Stennis steamed from San Diego to Hawaii to host the premier showing of Pearl Harbor, it was not as a simple gesture of memory to comrades who died, but rather military exhibitionism as a counter-argument to any hint or appearance of unreadiness.
Such a military manifestation says that America's armed forces will never again be caught sleeping on a lazy Sunday morning, that it will operate ceaselessly and globally with the finest available military technologies, and that the state participates in ensuring that taxpayers absorb the ideological inevitability of these costs. The entire idea of Pearl Harbor is to walk out of the film feeling proud to be American, or if part of the global audience, to be damn respectful of Americans. Under the terms of such persuasion, to oppose the formulaic inevitability of superpower violence and dominance is to be taken as unpatriotic.
Violence is an occasion for bitter grief and mourning, whereas Pearl Harbor markets that violence through false civic piety. Disney's carefully-scheduled Memorial Day holiday release openly capitalizes on 'honoring the dead' in order to profit from those terrible deaths. In supplying representation as postmodern munitions, the Disney Corporation has become a new-style war profiteer.
Finally, on a personal note, I am no known relation to the Joe Lockard who was the radar operator that spotted the Japanese fighter-bombers and whose warning was ignored. But I've known about him since my childhood. Every year for weeks before Pearl Harbor Day my father, whose name I share, would get calls from journalists around the country who wanted to interview him. Dad normally politely referred them to the Joseph Lockard who was the technological Cassandra of that famous day. But Dad did not like to be interrupted at dinnertime and once, when such a call came during dinner, he gave an interview. "I told 'em they were coming, but nobody listened!" he began dramatically as, realizing what was happening, we tried to stifle our giggles. "I told 'em again and again! Those officers were to blame, not me! I told 'em! I saw 'em coming a long way off!" For one unwitting newspaper reporter, a false history was born at that moment.
Pearl Harbor's history, as ever, remains an open claim. Pearl Harbor the film does not settle that claim.

Richard Viguerie: Republicans' Defining Obama and Sotomayor Is Huge
Viguerie News Release - ConservativeHQ.com Chairman Richard Viguerie says that Senate Republicans are finally defining Barack Obama and his dangerous ideology, something "the McCain campaign and the Republican Party failed to do in the 2008 election." In his press release, Viguerie says Senator Jeff Sessions is leading Republicans on a mission to show that "Obama's views are radical and dangerous" by "making the Sotomayor confirmation hearings about President Obama's governing philosophy." Viguerie adds that this strategy will pay "huge dividends" for Republicans. [read the full release here]

MOTORISTS bracing themselves for months of traffic bedlam could be handed a temporary reprieve because of a wrangle between highway chiefs and Severn Trent Water.
Bosses at Severn Trent Water installed huge signs warning of a 15-month programme to upgrade water mains on Hagley Road, starting on July 23.
But council bosses have now vetoed the plans claiming the traffic management plan and consultation had not been approved.
Highways chiefs ordered the water giant to remove all of the signs and the £1.4 million investment programme could now be postponed unless the row is resolved.
Roadworks were set to take place on the inter-city carriageway from the junction with Sandon Road until the end of October.
A three month break was then scheduled to cater for Christmas congestion before work starts on the out-of-city carriageway from January until November 2008.
Alan Lloyd, traffic manager at Birmingham City Council, said: "Severn Trent have been instructed to remove the advance signage immediately as they have not yet submitted a satisfactory traffic management plan to the city council for approval.
"No work will be allowed until such a plan has been agreed, consultation has taken place and the appropriate publicity has been issued.
"Severn Trent have jumped the gun and caused some unnecessary concern. The highways authority has to ensure that all works cause minimum disruption to the citizens of Birmingham.
"Until this is satisfied we will not give permission for this to continue.
"This is planned work and Severn Trent should have followed the procedures. It is standard policy. The consultation process should have been started weeks ago."
Severn Trent's target date is July 23 but it is now up to them whether they can fulfil the requirements before then or the work will have to be postponed.
A spokeswoman for Severn Trent said: "We understood that we had the plan for phases 1-7 approved.
"Obviously there is some kind of misunderstanding between the two organisations.
"We will happily carry out the council's instructions to remove the warning signs but Severn Trent does believe that it is important to inform local residents and motorists.
"We are still hopeful that work can commence as planned on July 23."

As much as I liked the Fish version, I don't like this version, It's hard to see what it is, and I think the idea of completely peeling a cow is actually rather repulsive.
Along with that... why on earth did they credit a copywriter on this piece? There's NO copy?!?

Mark Snyder included himself in that last part, as some media observers wondered about the coach's choice of workout gear for himself, including black top and shorts. But there was method to the madness of the new Marshall coach. "I wore all black to gauge the heat, so I would know if it was becoming too much for our players," Snyder told Herd Insider's Chuck Landon after practice, "and if we needed to stop for water."
Marshall coach Mark Snyder added in water breaks to counter the searing heat on the new FieldTurf at Edwards Stadium. The team took a break in groups near the new midfield logo on Wednesday.
Snyder did, in fact, stop practice a couple times for additional team-wide water breaks, due to the temps on the FieldTurf but despite the heat no players were seen to fall out of drills due to the heat, a sure sign of the level of conditioning this team has under new strength and conditioning coach Mike Cochran. "We have a lot of returning guys, but we also have a lot of new players (to our system) and it showed today on the field," said Snyder when asked after practice to judge the first day.
Some players, however, really stood out despite the fact that Marshall must practice until Monday without full pads. Newcomers who attracted many comments from the media up in the pressbox included 6-6, 330 pound junior college defensive tackle Chris Terrell, who brought great speed from Butte College despite his large size. Others included last year's Prop 48 players, including wide receivers Jermaine Filer (6-3, 190 Soph.), who is running with the second team already, and super-quick Antonio Leath (5-7, 170, Soph.), who also sat out last year but showed the 4.3 speed in the first workout.
QB Jimmy Skinner called signals during Marshall's first practice of the summer on Wednesday afternoon at Edwards Stadium.
Some returning players who also were looking good on day one included: quarterbacks Jimmy Skinner, Bernie Morris and Derek Devine, who all looked bigger and stronger, throwing the ball with much more zip (Skinner checked in at 201 pounds, over 40 pounds more than his freshman year). Devine also seemed much more comfortable in the offense after a summer of video with offensive coordinator Larry Kueck and player volunteer workouts, which took place four times per week and were run largely by the quarterbacks; offensive lineman Toby Bullock is somewhere around 330 pound and looks to be in the best shape of his career, easily passing the conditioning test before heading to Memphis, Tenn., for C-USA Media Days Monday and Tuesday. Defensive end Bilal El-Amin is huge, looking 10-20 pounds heavier than his listed 240 and still very quick, while Adrian Davis is down to 285 pounds at defensive tackle and has re-shaped his body since spring, when he weighed near 300. Red-shirt freshman Ian Hoskins looks to be somewhat bigger than 210 pounds and may still move to defensive end, although he was running with Matt Couch and Dennis Thorton as first team linebackers during team. Meanwhile, cornerback Jeremy Frazie is pushing Ivan Clark for playing time at nickelback, coming off a great spring.
Receiver Nate Manns caught a pass while stepping over hurdles at the first Marshall football practice on Wednesday afternoon.
Notes: Nathan Howard was out today for classwork, allowing freshman Brian Leggett to get some work at second-team center...The Herd did add freshman receiver E.J. Wynn from Washington, D.C., to the receiver corps...Zane Bruhin was working out with the offensive line today...true freshman lineman Daniel Baldridge stands out at 6-foot, 9-inches, but is closer to 290 pounds than his listed and carries that weight easily...Ian O'Connor looks like he would still like to both punt and kick, as he boomed some punts 55-to-60 yards...the FieldTurf install is not quite done, as the south endzone still needs the letters spelling Marshall sewn in and there is still quite a bit of sand and rubber pellets to add to field, although it is scheduled to be done by Friday.
