"Since they lost somebody that they love, I think they need all the support that they can get."
– Teenager Will Thomas
On Aug. 6, 2011, U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) suffered the worst loss in its history when a CH-47 Chinook, call sign "Extortion 17," flown by an Army Reserve and National Guard crew and containing Army personnel, Navy SEALs and Naval Special Warfare support personnel, Air Force Special Operations Command personnel, Afghan National Army commandos, a civilian Afghan interpreter, and a military working dog, was shot down by RPG fire in the Tangi Valley of Wardak province, Afghanistan. All 38 aboard the helicopter were killed in the shootdown. The helicopter was carrying a quick reaction force, part of a response to reinforce troops under fire.
Will Thomas was a 12-year-old boy playing basketball with his father, Bill, in the McLean, Va., driveway of their home when he heard the news. When he told his father he felt bad about it, his father replied, "So what are you going to do about it?" After some discussion, Will proposed to honor the fallen by shooting 17,000 baskets over the coming Labor Day weekend. His father pledged to donate a penny for each basket to the charity identified for the fallen. Then, only days before taking up his shooting challenge, Will learned of an extraordinary coincidence: The widow of one of the SEALs killed in the mission, Lt. Cmdr. Jonas B. Kelsall, had grown up in Will's hometown of McLean. This was the origin of Operation Hawkeye, in which young Will shoots baskets in exchange for donations to the families of those killed in action. The name "Hawkeye" is in honor of Hawkeye, a Labrador retriever who became known nationwide as the immensely loyal pet of Jon T. Tumilson of Iowa, another Navy SEAL killed in the Aug. 6 action. The name is also a nod to Will's shooting marksmanship and the protagonist of James Fenimore Cooper's novel, The Last of the Mohicans.
Initially, Thomas' shooting goal was 17,000 baskets, and he surpassed it. He made 20,317 midrange baskets in a 50-hour shooting span over that Labor Day weekend in 2011, raising $50,000 for the families of the Navy SEALs lost on Aug. 6. His 2012 challenge, Rise and Fire, honored all the special operations forces (SOF) aboard the aircraft and called for Will to make 2,600 long-range three-point baskets; he sank 3,317 in 34 hours of shooting, raising tens of thousands more for SOF. Most recently, on Feb. 17, 2013, Will honored fallen U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle with a 17-hour challenge, making 2,017 three-point baskets in 15 hours and raising more than $19,000 for Kyle's family through the Chris Kyle Memorial Trust.
Will harnesses a strong work ethic and the latest in social media to advance his mission. Operation Hawkeye has a robust Facebook platform (www.facebook.com/OperationHawkeye) as well as a stand-alone website (www.ophawkeyecom). Both these platforms contain information about the mission, related video and other media coverage, a library featuring works by mission team experts, a mail platform through which to express support for SOF families, gear offerings, a memorial to the fallen, and information on how to donate and offer other forms of support for the cause. The Facebook page features postings on mission developments, highlights ways to honor the fallen and/or support their families and related causes, and generally informs others about the nature of SOF service. As of this writing, the mission's Facebook page followers number more than 28,000 and counting.
Operation Hawkeye is not a nonprofit charity, but financial donations are tax deductible and are distributed to appropriate charitable organizations such as the Navy SEAL Foundation, Brandon Webb's Red Circle Foundation, America's Mighty Warriors, the USSOCOM Care Coalition, and others. In 2012, the SEAL Legacy Foundation awarded Will Thomas the SEAL Unsung Hero Award at a ceremony that also honored businessman and philanthropist T. Boone Pickens.
Operation Hawkeye also engages key elements of the nation's basketball community, ranging from youth and high school athletes and coaches to NBA teams and professionals, as well as organizations such as the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Thomas' strong work ethic has resulted in partnerships with companies such as Nike. He created a youth-focused paracord bracelet initiative and will soon launch a national free throw challenge through which individuals and teams across the United States can join with him to raise awareness and funds for SOF.
Contributors can also purchase an Operation Hawkeye patch for $5, and all proceeds go to support the SEAL families. The three-color PVC patch with Velcro® back features the Operation Hawkeye logo – a stylized image of a boy shooting a basket, inspired by Will's profile. Additional information can be seen at www.uspatriottactical.com/operation-hawkeye-patch.html. Will's father said, "The end-goal is really nothing more – or less – than to show members of the SOF community that we care about them and are grateful for their service and sacrifice, and all are encouraged to express that sentiment in a manner that suits them best."

Google is reportedly one of a number of advertisers that have been bypassing Apple's privacy settings to track the browsing habits of Safari users.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), code placed in display ads installed cookies in internet browsers without the user's permission.
Safari blocks websites from using cookies without user consent, but Google's code circumvented this by making the browser think that the user was interacting with the web page by filling out a form.
Google could then install a cookie on the user's phone or computer and track their browsing across the web.
Three other online-ad companies were found using similar techniques: Vibrant Media Inc, WPP PLC's Media Innovation Group LLC and Gannett Co.'s PointRoll Inc.
Google said that the code was to provide features that signed-in Google users had enabled and that the cookies did not collect personal information, but since the WSJ report on Friday, it has disabled the code.
Cookies are a hot topic at the moment thanks to an impending EU law that requires websites to gain user consent before installing them.
In an interview with us last week Foolproof director Meriel Lenfestey said that websites need to look for new ways to gain user consent or risk affecting user experience and damaging revenues.
Without consent, the immediate impact will be a reduced set of functionality and a less personal experience where the user must hunt down relevant information rather than have it float to the surface.
She predicted that many major online retailers, such as Tesco or Amazon, would wait to see how the new law works in practice before complying with the regulations.
I expect that few (if any) will fully comply, at least at first until they see what their competitors have done, how the ICO is enforcing the law, and how users respond with their increased awareness.
The issue is made more complicated by third-party cookies such as the type being used by Google.
In a review of the latest ICO guidance Econsultancy CEO Ashley Friedlein said that it will be nearly impossible for websites to notify users of all third-party cookies when taking into account analytics, social log-in buttons, widgets, embedded YouTube clips and so on.
I assume the likes of Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple etc. will all abrogate responsibility legally to the rest of us and it'll be our job to explain what exactly Facebook is doing with cookies when our users log into our sites using Facebook Connect, for example?
So, even though at the moment Google's Safari code is a bit of a headache for Apple, in future we may see web pages breaking EU law without even realising it.
Comments (2)
This highlights why the cookie law is needed as much as anything else.
It is not going to stop companies that set out to break privacy laws but it provides a framework for highlighting these kind of practices that consumers have a right to be concerned about. And a way for it to be stopped in law.
@Richard - a framework that prevents nefarious use of cookies (or any other data collection method) is needed, that's for sure. The Cookie law, in its current ambivalent, all encompassing, sledgehammers to crack nuts format is not the answer - it won't prevent data collection as it doesn't target the bad actors in this space, just the current methods of collecting data.

Melt the butter in a small saute pan over medium heat. Stir in the almonds and saute, tossing frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the almonds are a golden brown. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel, add the maple syrup and keep warm.
Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, honey and vanilla and divide it among breakfast plates. Surround the ricotta with the berries and spoon the almond and maple syrup mixture over the ricotta. Place a slice of toasted brioche on each plate and serve warm.
Set a medium-meshed sieve over a deep bowl. Line the sieve with two double layers of cheesecloth and dampen the cheesecloth.
Pour the milk and cream into a large stainless steel or enameled pot such as Le Creuset and stir in the salt. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally (a full rolling boil means that the bubbles have expanded in the pot). Turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for one minute until it curdles.
Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl, discarding the liquid as it collects in the bowl. Allow it to drain at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes. The longer you let the mixture drain, the thicker it will be. Transfer the ricotta to another bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining liquid. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Yield: about 2 cups

Integrated Energy Therapy®
(IET) is a safe, gentle, nurturing way to empower and balance your life by helping you release patterns of the past for good. Feelings and sensations are stored in the cells of the body much like facts are stored in the cells of the brain. Negative or traumatic experiences, stress, unexpressed emotion, fear, anger, resentment or self-limiting beliefs can become "stuck" (or suppressed) in the body and inhibit or disrupt the flow of vital life force at a cellular level. These energy blockages limit our experience of life and can result in a
lack of spontaneity, energy depletion, a feeling of unrest, agitation or dis-ease. Integrative Energy Therapy uses a unique Cellular Memory Map® to target specific areas in the body where these "cellular memories" are stored, helping to release them on all levels – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. As these blocks are cleared, the suppressed charge of energy dissipates and your energy field is re-balanced. The more your energy body opens and vital life force can flow freely through it, the closer you move to a natural state of being: pure joy.

This phrase, which occurs in Chapter III, constitutes Snowball's condensation of the Seven Commandments of Animalism, which themselves serve as abridgments of Old Major's stirring speech on the need for animal unity in the face of human oppression. The phrase instances one of the novel's many moments of propagandizing, which Orwell portrays as one example of how the elite class abuses language to control the lower classes. Although the slogan seems to help the animals achieve their goal at first, enabling them to clarify in their minds the principles that they support, it soon becomes a meaningless sound bleated by the sheep ("two legs baa-d"), serving no purpose other than to drown out dissenting opinion. By the end of the novel, as the propagandistic needs of the leadership change, the pigs alter the chant to the similar-sounding but completely antithetical "Four legs good, two legs better."
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tiding
Of the golden future time.
These lines from Chapter I constitute the first verse of the song that Old Major hears in his dream and which he teaches to the rest of the animals during the fateful meeting in the barn. Like the communist anthem "Internationale," on which it is based, "Beasts of England" stirs the emotions of the animals and fires their revolutionary idealism. As it spreads rapidly across the region, the song gives the beasts both courage and solace on many occasions. The lofty optimism of the words "golden future time," which appear in the last verse as well, serves to keep the animals focused on the Rebellion's goals so that they will ignore the suffering along the way.
Later, however, once Napoleon has cemented his control over the farm, the song's revolutionary nature becomes a liability. Squealer chastises the animals for singing it, noting that the song was the song of the Rebellion. Now that the Rebellion is over and a new regime has gained power, Squealer fears the power of such idealistic, future-directed lyrics. Wanting to discourage the animals' capacities for hope and vision, he orders Minimus to write a replacement for "Beasts of England" that praises Napoleon and emphasizes loyalty to the state over the purity of Animalist ideology.
At this there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws.
These words from Chapter V describe Napoleon's violent expulsion of Snowball from Animal Farm, which parallels the falling-out between Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky. Napoleon, who is clearly losing the contest for the hearts and minds of the lower animals to his rival Snowball, turns to his private police force of dogs to enforce his supremacy. As Stalin did, Napoleon prefers to work behind the scenes to build his power by secrecy and deception, while Snowball, as Trotsky did, devotes himself to winning popular support through his ideas and his eloquence. Napoleon's use of the attack dogs in this passage provides a blatant example of his differences with Snowball and points beyond the story to criticize real leaders for their use of such authoritarian tactics.
More generally, this episode is the first of many in which the political positioning of the Rebellion's early days gives way to overt violence, openly subverting the democratic principles of Animal Farm. It signals the deterioration of Animal Farm from a society based on equal rights to a society in which those who are powerful determine who gets what rights.
The ultimate example of the pigs' systematic abuse of logic and language to control their underlings, this final reduction of the Seven Commandments, which appears in Chapter X, clothes utterly senseless content in a seemingly plausible linguistic form. Although the first clause implies that all animals are equal to one another, it does not state this claim overtly. Thus, it is possible to misread the word "equal" as a relative term rather than an absolute one, meaning that there can be different degrees of "equal"-ness, just as there can be different degrees of colorfulness, for example (more colorful, less colorful). Once such a misreading has taken place, it becomes no more absurd to say "more equal" than to say "more colorful." By small, almost imperceptible steps like these, the core ideals of Animal Farm—and any human nation—gradually become corrupted.
The revision of the original phrase also points to the specific form of corruption on Animal Farm. The initial, unmodified phrase makes reference to all animals, its message extending to the entire world of animals without distinction. Similarly, Old Major expresses ideals that posit the dignity of all, the comradeship of all, the inclusion of all in voting and decision-making, so that no one group or individual will oppress another. The revised phrase, however, mentions an "all," but only in order to differentiate a "some" from that "all," to specify the uniqueness, the elite nature, and the chosen status of that "some." The pigs clearly envision themselves as this privileged "some"; under their totalitarian regime, the working animals exist only to serve the larger glory of the leadership, to provide the rulers with food and comfort, and to support their luxurious and exclusive lifestyle.
This quip, delivered by Mr. Pilkington to Napoleon and his cabinet during their well-catered retreat inside the farmhouse in Chapter X, makes fully explicit the process of ideological corruption that has been taking place throughout the novella. Old Major's notion of the absolute division of interests between animals and humans here gives way to a division between two classes, even cutting across species lines. Pigs and farmers share a need to keep down their laboring classes. Mr. Pilkington's witticism lays bare the ugly but common equation of laborers with animals.
Moreover, the quote serves to emphasize directly the significance of Animal Farm as a social commentary, cementing the conceptual link between the downtrodden animals and the working classes of the world. Orwell explodes his "fairy story," as he termed it, by bringing it into the realm of human consequence, thereby making its terrors all the more frightening to his readership.

Looking for durable plastic toilet seats for Eljer Emblem toilets? Yes, we have them!
We also offer many replacement parts for Eljer Emblem, Eljer Terrace Emblem and Eljer Triangle Emblem toilets.
Q. "How do I clean my new seat, and what products should I avoid?"
A. Most manufacturers (and the manufacturer of the seats we offer) recommend a light solution of mild soap and water. Products like pine oils, essential oils, chlorine, acid, scouring powders, detergents, disinfectants, bleach, or products in aerosol cans should never be used as they can damage the finish and color of the seat. Also, as scouring pads can scratch the seat, they should not be used. It is our recommendation to always follow the manufacturers suggested cleaning methods to maintain the seats.
Q. "How do I get the old toilet seat off?"
A. On most seats, the bolts are mounted from the top with a nut on the underside of the bowl. There may be a cover that snaps back, covering the top of the bolt. Still not sure how to go about it? Check out our step by step video tutorial

Tsukamurella spp. are a rare but important cause of intravascular catheter-related bacteremia in immunocompromised patients. The organism is an aerobic, Gram-positive, weakly acid-fast bacillus that is difficult to differentiate using standard laboratory methods from other aerobic actinomycetales such as Nocardia spp., Rhododoccus spp., Gordonia spp., and the rapid growing Mycobacterium spp. We report a case of Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens catheter-related bacteremia in a 51-year-old haematology patient who responded to treatment with imipenem and subsequent line removal. 16srRNA sequencing allowed for the prompt identification of this organism.

Interviewing Politicians (from Media Helping Media)
There is a fine art to interviewing politicians. You need to understand their motivation, realise they will have a script, not allow them to complicate matters, refuse to be sidetracked, retain an open mind, know your subject, avoid a slanging match, and remember that you are only there to uncover information to inform the public debate. The most important rule is never do deals; there must be no agreement on the outcome.
1: Interview for the benefit of the audience
Remember you both have a constituency. Yours is the
audience, who you are committed to inform with balanced, impartial, objective and accurate information. Theirs is the electorate that they represent, made up of people who may or may not have voted for them. You are not there to look smart or win a battle, You are there to ask questions on behalf of your audience and uncover information in the category of "had it not been for you the world would never have known." A political interview doesn't not have to become confrontational and heated. A good interviewe
r will draw out the information he or she is seeking without the need for raised voices.
2: Understand the politician's motivation
Your motivation should be to inform the public debate with robust journalism offering verified and sourced facts that enables the audience to understand better what is going on around them and make educated choices. However ambition, personal interests, activism, personal gain, revenge and other personal bagga
ge could get in the way. You have a responsibility to deal with this. This is about integrity. You can't conduct a meaningful political interview without integrity. Their motivation should also be to inform the public debate, and to ensure that the needs of all in the community they serve are represented and accounted for. However, party loyalty, fear of l
osing their seat/position, ambition, ideology, and a host of personal issues could cloud this. Your job is to see through this and cut to the facts of the matter in hand.
Politicians are public servants. They have been elected to do a job on behalf of those they represent. Their professional performance is open to scrutiny. You as a journalist have a unique role to sit with these decision makers and ask them the telling questions that your audience is not able to ask. You are operating on behalf of you
r audience. It is your job to dig deep and to uncover facts about professional conduct, how the politician is executing his or her responsibilities, and any personal issues that might prevent them from doing so.
3: Keep it Simple
Politicians love to complicate matters when it suits them. They like to make the journalist feel inferior by suggesting they d
o not understand the situation. Phrases like 'well it's complicated' and 'you need to understand the background to this', are common ways of trying to reduce the effectiveness of the journalist. Stick to the core journalistic questions of who, why, when, where, what and how. Questions should be short and to the point. Do not be afraid to continue to ask the same question repeatedly until you get a clear answer; having a couple of different ways to phrasing it helps reduce the likelihood th
at the politician will get annoyed. However, if they do become angry, don't let that bother you.
You will not be expected to be expert in everything a politician is involved in, but it is important that you have a solid understanding of the issues you are going to be pressing them on. You certainly need to know your history. You need to make sure that you know what you are talking about and that the questions you ask are well researched and backed by intelligence.
4: Don't be sidetracked or derailed
It is so easy to be steered away from the crucial question. Once the journalist has lost his or her cool, they have lost the interview. A politician who is on the ropes may lash out in order to force you on the defensive. They may be trying to guide you into a discussion they want to have, rather than discuss the issues you want to address (or which you agreed to tackle when arranging the interview). Do not be taken in by that, it's a trap. Return to the question you want to ask.
Always steer clear of personal insults and never enter into a slanging match where you end up shouting at one another.Once that happens, the interview (although probably highly entertaining for the audience and likely to end up on YouTube and be virally marketed globally) has lost its power as a tool for informing the public debate. You and the politician will have probably damaged your integrity. It will reflect badly on your news organisation, too.
An interview with a politician should be a sincere attempt to uncover information to help your audience understand more about current issues. It's not a battle of wits between you and the politician. It's not about point scoring. Nor is it about making you look smart in front of your peer group and friends.
5: Don't do deals
It may seem obvious, but you must never go into an interview with a politician with any form of agreement, explicit of implicit. There must be no mutual undertanding that both sides will get something out of the interview. This is corrupt and goes against the core elements of journalism. It is fine for a politician to try to do this in order to ensure that they achieve what they set out to achieve; that's what politics is all about. But you have to be above this. It is an integrity issue. There must never be any suggestion that the course of the interview can be mapped out in advance. The only things you can agree beforehand is the length of the interview.
6: They will have a script
As you prepare for the interview you will have thought through the areas you want to cover and may have written down the questions you want to ask. The politician will probably have done the same. It is likely that they will have had several working sessions with spin doctors and will be briefed on exactly what 'message' they want to broadcast via your interview. Political organisations spend a fortune on hiring media training consultants who train politicians in how to avoid answering questions and ensuring they get their message and points across no matter what questions are asked. There is a big business in manipulating the media. Often this training is carried out by former journalists, so the politicians will be well briefed.
You can be fairly sure this has happened when you hear the answer to your questions starting with, 'Well that is an interesting point, but the main issue here is...' or, 'I am glad you asked me that, but you have to remember that the real reasons behind this are...' These and many other answers suggest that the politician is primed and ready to use your interview as a party political broadcast and not as a vehicle for informing the audience. There will be no doubt that the politician has a script in their head. They will know the end result they are required to achieve that will reflect well on them and their party. They will have a final line (the last word) that they will want to push, regardless of the questions you have asked. Remember, you are not there to take down a list of statements like a secretary taking dictation. You are not a scribe helping them with their PR campaign. You are a journalist whose job is to get to the truth.
All political parties will have spin doctors, those public relations people and political backroom staff whose job it is to ensure that the party message gets out no matter what the opportunity; and remember, your interview will be viewed by them as just that --- a political opportunity. Never think you will be more prepared than them, this is naive and foolish.
You need to go into a political interview knowing that sitting behind the politician is a news management team who will have done this hundreds of times and will have used journalists like you to achieve their ends.
7: Keep an open mind
Although it is important to know what you are going to ask (as explained above) it is also important to go into the interview with an open mind. It's a delicate balancing act to go prepared with a set of questions and yet still retain the flexibility needed to be alert to some new information that you didn't know before. You should aim to discover something new through the process. You can't do that if you doggedly stick to your script.
8: Don't let them dodge the question
There are many ways for a politician to avoid the question being asked. A couple have been mentioned above. It's important for the journalist conducting the interview to know when this is happening. The interviewer needs to know when it is right to hold back. It is often clear to the audience that a question is being avoided. You may not need to keep pressing. Make sure you have a number of key questions to ask. You will probably not get to ask them all, and you will almost certainly not get clear answers to all. Decide which are the most important so that if you run out of time, and broadcast interviews are far more likely to suffer from this than print interviews, you can be sure to ask the key questions. Never leave the best to last, just in case you run out of time.
9: Try to understand the politician's motivation
Despite the news management issue, the politician remains a human being and an individual with one particular need --- retaining the support of the public in order to continue to do his or her job.
So, no matter how prepared and primed they are for the interview, they will also be vulnerabe on some points. They will be keen to make a good impression. The journalist needs to understand this because, with careful wording of questions, by following up on some of the leads they give you, by exploring some of the topics they seem to want to explore, and by engaging them with an understanding tone and approach, you may be able to dig deeper in the areas that you feel the audience needs to know about.
You may get a lot further with a softer, sympathetic approach than with a hard, confrontational approach. This all depends on the situation and the politician. But the key is to be flexible. Remember, the point of the exercise is not to make you look great and the politician look small, it's to uncover essential information that informs the public debate so that the audience can make educated choices.
10: Ensure the last word informs the public
Do they get it, or do you? Do you allow the politician, at the end of the interview, to sum up, or do you take responsibility for that? They will want the last answer to be a party political broadcast. One way round this is to ensure that you sum up at the end with the key points.
To do this you need to listen to all their answers, take notes, keep a bullet point summary and repeat it at the end. It is also a good idea to jot down key quotes that you can return to at the end in order to illustrate your summary.
Good luck and stay strong. And always keep at the front of your mind that you may uncover a fact that 'had it not been for you, the world would never have known."

Whopper of the Week: Sumner Redstone
"Sometime after the Supreme Court decision I found myself inLas Vegasrepresenting a group that was building the Dunes Hotel and met a man who was working at the Flamingo. This was in the mid-1950s [italics Chatterbox's], when theLas VegasStrip was controlled by characters who didn't often show up in corporate boardrooms. 'What do you do for a living?' the man asked me. I said I was a tax lawyer.
"'You know,' he told me, 'something extraordinary happened. My brother was inAlcatrazand he just got out because of some case in the Supreme Court.'
"'What's your brother's name?' I asked. He was one of the three prisoners who had been released because of the ruling in my case. I told the man the story. And the next day I was sitting in the Flamingo Hotel at a meeting presided over by one Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel. ... They wanted me to represent them. ... They offered me anything. Everything. All kinds of money--over the table, under the table, any way I wanted it.
"I wasn't tempted. Money wasn't my vice and I saw my life in a very different way. ... About a year later Bugsy Siegel was found in his girlfriend's house inBeverly Hillswith five bullets in his head. ..."
--Viacam chairman Sumner Redstone (with Peter Knobler), A Passion To Win, pp. 65-66.
"Siegel was murdered onJune 19, 1947 [italics Chatterbox's] in Los Angeles,California, at themansionofVirginia Hill, his mistress."
--Federal Bureau of Investigation Web page linking to various Siegel-related documents, including an FBI memo dated July 23, 1947, that refers to "BENJAMIN "BUGSY" SIEGEL, deceased."
"In 1947 [italics Chatterbox's], Mr. Redstone received his L.L.B. from theHarvardUniversitySchoolof Law."
-- Redstone's official biography on Viacom's corporate Web site.
"'Don't call me a mogul,' says Sumner Redstone, '47 [italics Chatterbox's]. ..."
--Redstone profile in Harvard Law Bulletin, Spring 1998.
"In 1950 [italics Chatterbox's], Deputy United States Attorney General Payton Ford, the head of the Department of Justice antitrust division, Herbert Bergson, and his assistant, Herbert Borkland, left to form a law firm. They invited a general practitioner named Bert Adams to join them. ... I was an ambitious young lawyer at Justice in whom they had taken an interest, and they invited me to join Ford, Bergson, Adams & Borkland as an associate. ... My most important case came through a Midwestern congressman. He was representing two innkeepers, a husband and wife, friends of his who had been indicted and convicted of tax evasion. ... Lo and behold, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. ... We won. ... All of a sudden I was a famous tax attorney."
--Redstone's A Passion To Win, pp. 62-65.
(Thanks to Mark Feeney of the Boston Globe, who discovered the discrepancy; Steve Bailey of the Globe, who wrote about it on June 29; and Slate's Margo Howard, who alerted Chatterbox.)
[Update, July 19: A reader has helped Chatterbox identify the Supreme Court case in question. It was Holland et ux. v. United States, argued on October 20 and 21, 1954--seven years after Bugsy Siegel was murdered. Incidentally, Redstone's book also states falsely that John Marshall Harlan was one of the justices Redstone argued before. Not possible. Harlan wasn't sworn in until March 1955.]
Got a whopper? Send it to email@example.com. To be considered, an entry must be an unambiguously false statement paired with an unambiguous refutation, and both must be derived from some appropriately reliable public source. Preference will be given to newspapers and other documents that Chatterbox can link to online.

Recreational Offerings at Charleston's Carnes Crossroads Meet Growing Demand for Community Lifestyle Amenities(August 19, 2014)
Charleston, SC (PRWEB) August 19, 2014
Among the top trends in real estate today is the rising demand for communities with amenities that promote healthy lifestyles. Home buyers of all ages from young families to retirees are increasingly seeking homes located in walkable communities with direct access to trails, bike paths and other recreational amenities. This was a topic of much discussion at the annual National Association of Real Estate Editors Conference this summer, where editors shared the stories and topics they are getting the most reaction to this year. Its a trend that the developers of Carnes Crossroads, a new master planned community in Charleston, South Carolina, are addressing up front as the community begins to take shape.
Amenities that promote healthy and active lifestyles are at the core of the community that is emerging at Carnes Crossroads. The master plan for this 2,300-acre community carefully integrates traditional residential neighborhoods and retail areas, along with a system of scenic trails for walking, jogging and bicycling. Recreational amenities like parks, lakes, playing fields and a pool are also important elements of the community:
- Parks - All homes at Carnes Crossroads will be within walking distance of neighborhood parks like the Village Green, the community's first park, which has become a gathering place for residents and a venue for special events.
- Trails - Residents are already enjoying the first phase of a community-wide network of scenic recreational trails that provides opportunities for walking, jogging, biking and environmentally-friendly transportation.
- Lakes - The first of a series of large lakes is under construction and will offer scenic natural views and recreational opportunities like fishing and kayaking.
- Pools - The new 25-meter swimming pool at Carnes Crossroads is designed for both competitive swimming and play, with a beach entry, lap lanes and childrens play area, providing recreational opportunities for all ages.
- Recreational Venues - The recently renovated historic Green Barn is outfitted with games and recreational fun a perfect space for special events and activities of all kinds.
"Most people we talk with who are looking for a new home are just as interested in the lifestyle our community offers as they are the actual homes here," says Chuck Buck, Broker-in-charge at Carnes Crossroads Real Estate. "In fact, in a recent survey of our prospective buyers, 71% rated amenities like trails and parks, in particular, as very important to their purchase decision, he added.
The Daniel Island Company, developer of Carnes Crossroads, is drawing upon its success at Daniel Island, an award-winning master planned community that has evolved as one of the top residential areas in Charleston, as they develop Carnes Crossroads. The success at Daniel Island is in part attributed to a comprehensive mix of homes, businesses, schools and world-class lifestyle and recreational amenities.
We are community builders, and amenities that allow people to get beyond their homes and enjoy the greater community in which they live are what helps make the neighborhoods at Carnes Crossroads and Daniel Island so special, says Matt Sloan, President of the Daniel Island Company. People want things to do nearby, ways to get out and meet and interact with neighbors and opportunities to stay active and fit. These are all integral elements of the community that is developing at Carnes Crossroads.
About Carnes Crossroads:
Carnes Crossroads, a 2,300-acre master planned community located in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina's growth, is evolving as a significant residential and commercial center for Summerville and Goose Creek. The traditional residential neighborhoods, southern architecture, parks, trails and lakes at Carnes Crossroads are being carefully integrated with retail businesses, corporate offices, medical facilities, schools and churches to create a small-town community where people live, work and play. The ownership and development team behind Carnes Crossroads is also responsible for the highly successful 4,000-acre community of Daniel Island in Charleston.

Hello! How about a little mixed media with LDRS Saturated Canary's Mamma's Boy :) Mamma's Boy is one of the Newest Releases from May. I also used Dewdrop Circle Die behind the clock...do you see it? And Vintage Affections Sentiments - Love
Now....here is what I love best about this mixed media piece. I can use it over and over again :) Simply Change the sentiment from the clip and the image is just clipped in as well. Nifty huh!
I created this piece using the lid from a wooden cigar box. Created a brick wall effect with stencil and paste and inks. Added the Dewdrop Circle Die with a Prima Metal Bezel then the clock insert. Adorned flowers all around in coordinating colors and sprayed with Tea Stain Prima Mist. This help to mute the colors and bring them all together. Now it is ready for the next project.
See you all again soon, thanks for visiting! Rhea

Trailing 2-0 after forty minutes of play, the Lloydminster Bobcats were able to battle back into today's contest against the Drayton Valley Thunder to make it 2-1, but couldn't find a tying goal as Drayton Valley held off a number of Bobcats opportunities to hang on for the win.
Chasetan Braid had the Bobcats lone goal, and it looked like the visitors tied the game with seven seconds left on the clock but the official's whistle had blown the play dead just moments before the puck crossed the line, sending the team home with a regulation loss today.
The Thunder got things going in the first as Tyler Benko banged home a power play goal to make it 1-0 late in the period after taking a cross ice feed from Nicholas Sutter. The one goal lead would hold up for over twenty minutes before the Thunder struck again.
With just over a minute left in the second period, Felip Gosselin took a feed in the offensive zone and ripped a wrist shot past Bobcats netminder Austin McGrath to make it 2-0 at the second intermission.
Early in the third, the Bobcats gained new life as Chasetan Braid elected to shoot on a 2-on-1, breaking the shutout of Thunder goaltender Parker Tobin to cut the Thunder lead in half, but that's as close as the Cats would get. Tobin finished the day with 21 saves on 22 shots, while McGrath turned aside 35 of 37 shots in the Bobcats net.
The Cats came away empty handed in a two-game weekend swing through Spruce Grove (4-2 loss) and Drayton Valley, and will look to get back into the win column on Friday night as they host the Sherwood Park Crusaders.

solders occasionally contain varying amounts of antimony, bismuth, cadmium, or silver. These are added to change the melting point or physical properties of the alloy.">
Custom Search
Any discussion of soldering techniques should include an explanation of solder itself. Ordinary soft solder is a fusible alloy consisting chiefly of tin and lead. It is used to join two or more metals at temperatures below their melting point. In addition to tin and lead, soft solders occasionally contain varying amounts of antimony, bismuth, cadmium, or silver. These are added to change the melting point or physical properties of the alloy. Ordinary table salt has to be heated to 1,488°F before it melts. However, when a little water is added, it dissolves easily at room temperature. The action of molten solder on a metal like copper may be compared to the action of water on salt.
The solder bonds the connection by dissolving a small amount of the copper at temperatures quite below its melting point. Thus, the soldering process involves a metal solvent action between the solder and the metal being joined. A solder joint is therefore chemical in nature rather than purely physical. The bond is formed in part by chemical action and part by a physical bond.
The properties of a solder joint are different from those of the original solder. The solder is converted to a new and different alloy through the solvent action. Two metals soldered together behave like one solid metal. It is unlike two metals bolted, wired, or otherwise physically attached. These types of connections are still two pieces of metal. They are not even in direct contact due to an insulating film of oxide on the surfaces of the metals.
Temperature change does not affect the solder alloy. It withstands stress and strains without damaging the joint. An unsoldered connection eventually becomes loosened by small movements caused by temperature variations and by the gradual buildup of oxides on the metal surfaces.
To understand fully the alloy or solvent action on molten solder, look at the tin-lead fusion diagram shown in figure 2-35. This diagram shows that pure lead (point A) melts at 621°F. Point C shows the lowest melting point of the tin and lead alloy. The alloy at point C consists of 63-percent tin (SN63) and 37-percent lead. This is commonly called 63/37 solder. It has a melting point of 361°F. This type of solder, because of its very low melting point, is used in printed circuit boards and microminiature electronic repair. As you can see from the chart, the melting point of the alloy is lowered when tin is added to lead.
Figure 2-35. - Tin-lead fusion diagram.
The solder used to solder wires to electrical connectors, splices, and terminal lugs is a combination of 60-percent tin to 40-percent lead (60/40 solder). The melting point of 60/40 solder is 370°F, as shown at point B of the figure. Type 60/40 solder is less expensive than 63/37 solder and is suitable for all general uses.
Q.37 What two metals are used to from soft solder?

Politicized Librarians Damage Our Profession
I'm wondering if these Seattle "librarians" have free access to psychological counseling services? I suggest they seek out such counseling at whatever price is necessary.
Who cares what these extreme left-wing people think of Bush or any other national political figure? And why are they so concerned about politics and not librarianship? What are these people doing in our profession? If they don't want to be librarians, then leave. Be social workers. Join the staff of politicians like Dennis Kucinish or organizations like the Communist Party of the USA.
Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin wrote about "unhinged librarians" protesting against First Lady Laura Bush's appearance at the ALA Conference. She quotes ALA councilor-at-large Mark Rosenzweig, whose rant must be read to be believed.
These phony so-called "librarians" are damaging the library profession with their head-scratching antics that only serve to call attention to the general public across the nation that there is something seriously wrong with librarians.
Can you imagine if these people were as passionate about their profession as they are about politics? Can you imagine how much further along we and our users would be?
I've written before about "reluctant" librarians. They are here because no one else would take them. They are failures who desperately looked for jobs in libraries after all else failed, and unfortunately were successful. They found a home in the American Library Association, which is notable more for its promotion of partisan politics (hello Fahrenheit 9/11) than for librarianship.
Years ago when I was a library school student, the older librarians expressed strong disappointment with ALA for becoming involved with things unrelated to librarianship. Things have only gotten worse in the intervening years.
A good first step would be the closing down of the ALA "Social Responsibilities Round Table," a grotesque piece of furniture around which are seated the aforementioned Rosenzweig and others with similiar extremist views.
Librarians, such as those in Seattle, need to get back to librarianship, and ALA is supposed to set an example for that by cultivating political neutrality and librarianship above all else. Otherwise, they need to get out of here and make way for real librarians who have a passion about this profession and aren't so clueless as to pass resolutions that have nothing to do with libraries.
There are a lot of great students coming out of library schools these days. I've met some of them. It's a shame fake librarians are currently standing in their way.

I agree that it is inappropriate for librarians qua librarians to pass such a resolution, and I don't think ALA should take an official stance one way or another on what the current administration is doing, except within the very narrow range of actions that directly affect librarianship.
Nonetheless, you slander the librarians when you say that because they have passionate political positions they are "phony" librarians and aren't as passionate about their profession as they are about their politics. How the hell do you know that?
I'm very passionate about my profession -- I also feel strongly that Bush should be impeached. I'm passionate about a whole variety of things. I can keep those passions separate when necessary -- for example, as a library director I think it is very appropriate to encourage the people in my library to vote and to make sure that we have flexible schedules if need be to make it easier for people to do that -- I would never offer suggestions, as the director, about who to vote for. As a member of the MLA Board of Directors, I strongly support our lobbying efforts to increase funding for NIH and the National Library of Medicine (which we do regardless of the administration in power). I would fervently oppose an MLA resolution such as the one being suggested by the Seattle librarians.
I think it's a mistake for the Seattle librarians to offer their resolution as librarians. But to suggest that because they've done that, they're phony and don't care about their profession is nonsense.
- Stephen Leary said...
T Scott:
You accuse me of "slander": I think you must mean to accuse me of "libel," but whichever it is, LOL to both.
You're using a straw-man argument. Of course people can be passionate about many things. I certainly am. But any librarian who uses his library position to publicly go out of his/her way to further a partisan political agenda that has nothing to do with libraries is by definition a phony librarian. I don't think you're arguing seriously here.
"How the hell do I know" they aren't as passionate about libraries? By their actions, obviously. How would I or anyone NOT know? Voting on the impeachment of Bush and taking it to ALA?? But I think you're being facetious. It's a blog anyway, everybody likes to be over the top. Your affinity with these people I think blinds you to what everyone else is seeing in terms of librarians and politics. Yeah, I'll go out on a limb and say they're more passionate about politics...lol.
I can't wait until the news reports come in of phony librarians at ALA protesting Laura Bush. I should have some fun with that. The Seattle folks with their silly resolution and ALA in general are an embarrassment to the profession.
- library2.0 said...
Steve, I'm a UK resident, and really admire your blog. I agree, perhaps certain ALA members are mistaken in asking Bush to be impeached etc, and the ALA should not become politicised. But are you saying librarians etc should not act politically perse? I mean the case in Gwinnet County in which Jo Ann Pinder was dismissed by what I READ, was right-wing pressure groups (and yes, I DID read your blog entry on Spanish books etc). Also, the case in Idaho in which funds will be with-held by patrons as youngsters may see books on sex (http://public.lisnews.org/public/06/06/23/0052205.shtml). These are incidents in which right-wing politics interfere with us as librarians. So my question is, is it ok to be non-political through our organisation mouthpiece (in the US case, the ALA), but to be told what to do by another political organisation?
- T Scott said...
To library 2.0 -- I believe that he's saying that anyone who disagrees with him is "by definition" a phony librarian. And he's right -- it's his blog, so he gets to be as foolish as he wants to be.
- Rebecca B. said...
I rarely comment about blog posts, but I read this post and its comments a couple of hours ago and wanted to respond.
tscott, I don't think that Stephen is saying that librarians can't have strong political opinions, but that it's unprofessional to use their professional positions as librarians to vocalize those opinions. Likewise, professional associations are not the place for political resolutions and agendas.
If a librarian, a group of librarians, or anyone else feels that strongly about a political figure or issue then they can and should join a political party or group to advocate their position. They should not use their professional association(s) to advance an agenda that is so completely unconnected with that profession.
While it is one thing for ALA to lobby on behalf of library funding and express concern about the Patriot Act, they should stay away from other political issues altogether and focus on librarianship. We have enough issues within our own profession to discuss without including politics. When we waste time in our meetings and conferences discussing and passing these partisan resolutions that have nothing to do with the profession, we are not using that time to disucss things that are truly relevant to the future of libraries.
- T Scott said...
Rebecca B -- If you read my first comment carefully, you'll see that I agree completely with the point that it is unprofessional to use one's professional position to vocalize political opinions. I questioned Stephen's making the leap from that to saying that librarians who do so are phony librarians who aren't passionate about librarianship. I think that's completely ridiculous, but it doesn't mean that I agree with the stance of those librarians. Stephen responds that such librarians are phony "by definition". I think that's foolish, but it's his blog and he gets to define words however he wants.
I agree with you that Stephen did not say that librarians aren't entitled to hold personal opinions and I didn't mean to imply that I thought he did.
- Stephen Leary said...
I don't see the similarity between the Gwinnett case and Idaho on the one hand, and the Seattle librarians as a group demanding the impeachment of Bush. That is totally political and has nothing to do with librarianship, although they may make some lame attempt for it to appear that way. I'm not buying it.
- Stephen Leary said...
T Scott said...
To library 2.0 -- I believe that he's saying that anyone who disagrees with him is "by definition" a phony librarian. And he's right -- it's his blog, so he gets to be as foolish as he wants to be.
I think your post is immature and unprofessional. I will start deleting your future posts if you continue in like manner. It's clear you're having problems dealing with a different opinion than your own.
- Rebecca B. said...
While I think that this discussion is already getting heated, I think that I'm going to respond again anyway. t scott, I understand your questioning the use of the word "phony" being used in this context and the questioning of these same librarians' passion for librarianship.
I would argue that since they are using the guise of librarianship to further their political agenda they are using the profession and its associations in a "phony" manner. It's used simply as a means to voice their personal opinions rather than as a profession.
If they were truly as passionate about librarianship as they are about these political issues then they would use their meetings and conferences that are meant to be about librarianship to actually discuss librarianship and not their political agenda. They could use other non-librarian meetings for other discussions.
Librarianship especially needs to have a professional political stance of impartiality and nonpartisanship. Any non-library related politcal stance on the part of our profession leads to a biased environment for our patrons which violates section I of the ALA Code of Ethics.
- jmnlman said...
but in the Idaho case what would be the nonpolitical position to take? Against censorship which would be of course interpreted as being left-wing in this case or givv in to the mainly conservative pressure?

the adventures of loot crest
the leader of the wizards cult
Our descent into hell known throughout the plain as a merciless wizard but caring friend.
no one really knows the history of merlin just that since a young age he has been practising magic.
the rumours surrounding him are as vague as he once tore a hole in universe and the not even the nine realms will touch him. none are proven and alot of them were started by merlin himself
