The species on this page are typical of a north Florida salt marsh. Dr. Randall Hughes is conducting an NSF funded study on biodiversity in salt marshes, and included in the descriptions are links to blog posts related to that study.
Foundation Species
Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora)
Cordgrass is often the dominant species of the coastal salt marsh. Click to Expand
Spartina reproduces in two ways. Its rhizomes can split apart, with each segment becoming a different individual with identical genetic composition. This is clonal reproduction. They also produce flowers and seeds towards the end of summer.
Cordgrass Consumers
Periwinkle snails (Littoraria irrotata)
Periwinkles climb cordgrass (Spartina) to evade their predators, which include crown conchs and blue crabs. Click to expand
Periwinkles climb cordgrass (Spartina) to evade their predators, which include crown conchs and blue crabs. While they do not feed on Spartina directly, they can cause the plant considerable damage. They puncture the blades of grass with their radula, consuming fungus that then grows on the scar. In the late '90s and early 2000s, there was a large die off of marsh habitat in the southeast. Research by Dr. Brian Silliman concluded that cordgrass, weakened by drought, was being mowed down by periwinkles. Randall Hughes is following up this research, investigating the role biodiversity plays in strengthening a marsh against snails and other disturbances, natural or man made.
Does the threat of predation cause the periwinkles to become frozen with fear? Or, having been chased up the cordgrass, will they eat more of it? Click here for the video.
Grasshopper (suborder Caelifera of the order Orthoptera)
As anyone with a backyard garden is aware, grasshoppers are prodigious consumers of plants. Click to expand.
Main Predators
Crown Conch (Melongena corona)
The crown conch is a main predator of the Gulf Coast salt marsh, feeding on periwinkle snails. Click to expand
By feeding on and scaring these periwinkle snails, does the crown conch benefit or harm the marsh? Find the video here.
Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus)
A popular delicacy (for humans) in this habitat is the blue crab, which is the crab used to make Maryland crab cakes. Click to Expand
A popular delicacy in this habitat is the blue crab, which is the crab used to make Maryland crab cakes. Increasingly, Maryland imports their crabs from Florida, which has more robust habitats for them. On oyster reefs and in salt marshes, blue crabs are important predators that help control populations of oyster drills, mud crabs, and periwinkle snails.
Other Animals of the Marsh
Fiddler Crab (Uca pugilator or Uca panacea, locally)
Fiddlers are so named for the male's "fiddle claw". Click to expand.
Pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides)
The pinfish gets its name from the sharp spines in its dorsal fin. Click to expand
Ribbed Mussel (Geukensia demissa)
Mussels have a mutually beneficial relationship with Spartina. Click to expand
Striped Mullet (Mugil cephalus)
Striped mullet is an international fish, found along coastlines of every continent except Antarctica. Click to expand
Other Plants of the Marsh
Needlerush (Juncus roemarianus)
Needlerush is often found further inland in a salt marsh, as it has a lower tolerance to salinity than cordgrass. Click to expand
Sea Lavendar (Limonium carolinianum)
Sea lavender is an herb that grows among marsh grasses. It blooms in the Summer months (June through August). Click to expand
Spikegrass (Distichlis spicata)
Woody Glasswort (Salicornia virginica)

With the same easy-to-use keypad design and software free setup, the diskAshur enables you to access the drive with your own unique pin but now at data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps.
Software free designWith no software installation required for setup or operation and the ability to run on any platform, the iStorage diskAshur provides stress free deployment in corporate environments. Its administrator feature allows enrollment of up to five unique user IDs and one administrator, making it a useful business collaboration tool.
Super fast USB 3.0 connectionData transfer speeds up to 10x faster than USB 2.0: with a super speed USB 3.0 interface, you can now access your files faster than ever before. The diskAshur is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.
Brute Force Self Destruct featureThe iStorage diskAshur uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force attack. The first step is to deny access to the drive until the drive can verify the user PIN. After six incorrect attempts the drive will lock itself, requiring the drive to be plugged in again to input a PIN. This feature blocks automated attempts to enter PIN numbers. Lastly, after a predetermined number of failed PIN entries, the diskAshur assumes it is being attacked and will destroy the encryption key and lock itself, rendering the data useless and requiring a total reset to redeploy the diskAshur.
Drive reset featureThe diskAshur also employs a useful drive reset feature, which can be implemented with a unique command. This clears all PINs and data, and creates a randomly generated encryption key, enabling the drive to be reset and redeployed as many times as needed.

Alex Leapai's greatest domestic rival Lucas Browne gives him a puncher's chance of dethroning world champion Wladimir Klitschko on one of the biggest days in Australian heavyweight boxing history.
Leapai and Browne, who are ranked first and second respectively in Australia, will both be fighting in Europe on Saturday night (Sunday am AEST).
While Leapai challenges quadruple world title holder Klitschko in Oberhausen, Germany, Browne will fight Canada's Eric Martel Bahoeli in Sheffield England for the vacant Commonwealth and WBC Eurasian Pacific Boxing Council titles.
No Australian has held the world heavyweight title and it's believed the last Australian to hold the Commonwealth crown was West Indian-born Peter Jackson in 1892.
But rarely has Australia had two world-rated heavyweights at the same time – both of them fearsome punchers.
Leapai has 24 KOs in his 30 wins while 17 of Browne's 19 victories have come inside the distance.
Unbeaten professional "Big Daddy" Browne, a 193cm tall former cage-fighter who switched to boxing in 2009, is favoured to win his bout.
Leapai will start a vast underdog against Klitschko who has won his last 19 bouts stretching back over 10 years.
"Alex has a puncher's chance. He doesn't have the skills to beat him," Browne told AAP.
"In saying that, I congratulate Alex on an awesome career thus far and wish him luck."
Asked if he would like to fight Leapai in the future Browne said: "I would love to fight Alex and once and for all sort out who the best in Oz is."
Browne is rated 11th by the WBC and 15th by both the WBA and IBF.
"The fight is for both the Commonwealth title as well as a regional WBC title so (a win) will help my rankings a great deal," said Browne, who has only seen YouTube footage of Bahoeli, who has a record of 10-3 (7 KOs).

a person with knowledge of the meetings told
A look at Week One of the NFL season, including Peyton Mannings seven touchdowns, rookies making a mark, veterans showing they still have something left and rising stars off to fine starts, all in 50 Points. Nike Air Max 90 China Wholesale Paypal . 1. Broncos QB Peyton Manning (27-for-42, 462 YDS, 7 TD) got off to a spectacular start, abusing the Ravens, particularly in the second half. Baltimores defence wasnt great least season, ranking 17th in passing yardage against per game and per play. While getting CB Lardarius Webb back from injury was supposed to provide a big boost, the Ravens also had signficant defensive losses in the offseason, including FS Ed Reed, and were no match for Manning in Denver Thursday night. 2. 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick (27-for-39, 412 YDS, 3 TD) was outstanding in a win over Green Bay, and did it primarily with his arm, rushing for just 22 yards on seven carries. 3. With Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham out of the lineup, the 49ers needed receivers to step up and step up they did. WR Anquan Boldin (13 REC, 208 YDS, 1 TD, 17 targets), who cost the Niners a sixth-round draft pick to acquire him from Baltimore, and TE Vernon Davis (6 REC, 98 YDS, 2 TD, 9 targets) were the top targets for Kaepernick. 4. Patriots WR Danny Amendola (10 REC, 104 YDS) and undrafted rookie WR Kenbrell Thompkins (4 REC, 42 YDS) were both targeted by Tom Brady a game-high 14 times against Buffalo, with decidedly different results. Julian Edelman (7 REC, 79 YDS, 2 TD) had the most productive day among Patriots receivers for fantasy owners. 5. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (111 YDS, 3 TD, 22 touches), but after a 78-yard touchdown on his first carry, Peterson was kept under wraps (aside from two more touchdowns) by the Lions, gaining 33 yards on his next 21 touches. 6. The running back that was busting loose in the Vikings-Lions game was Lions RB Reggie Bush (191 YDS, 1 TD, 25 touches), who was complemented nicely by Joique Bell (92 YDS, 2 TD, 11 touches) as Mikel Leshoure was scratched from the lineup. 7. Targets for Broncos wide receivers: Demaryius Thomas, 11; Wes Welker, 11; Eric Decker, 7. The early concern is that Decker, who scored 13 touchdowns a year ago, will be the one to lose looks now that Welker is in Denver, but its not just Welker. TE Julius Thomas (5 REC, 110 YDS, 2 TD, 7 targets) is another option to get looks from Manning. 8. Jets QB Geno Smith was maligned through the preseason, particularly after throwing three interceptions in a half against the New York Giants, but fared well (24-for-38, 256 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT, 6 RUSH, 47 YDS) in his NFL regular-season debut. While none of the Jets receivers are top notch, Smiths competence could increase the appeal of Santonio Holmes (1 REC, 13 YDS, 3 targets), Jeremy Kerley (3 REC, 45 YDS, 4 targets) and Stephen Hill (6 REC, 39 YDS, 9 targets). 9. Jets TE Kellen Winslow (7 REC, 79 YDS, 1 TD) , who played just one game for the Patriots in 2012, made a good impression in his first game with the Jets. Hes listed second on the Jets depth chart, behind Jeff Cumberland, at tight end, but Winslow had 75 catches for 763 yards while playing for Tampa Bay in 2011. If he is capable of staying healthy enough to do that again, he could be a really valuable addition for the Jets and work his way into fantasy relevance. 10. Touches for Broncos running backs: Knowshon Moreno, 12; Montee Ball, 8; Ronnie Hillman, 6. Like Ball most long-term out of that trio, but until its settled, ugh. 11. Bills rookie QB E.J. Manuel (18-for-27, 150 YDS, 2 TD) kept to a conservative gameplan, much like the preseason, but was reasonably effective. Until the Bills open up, however, its going to be difficult for WR Steve Johnson (3 REC, 39 YDS, 1 TD, 5 targets) to achieve full value as a productive wideout. 12. For all the concerns about his passing accuracy, Raiders QB Terrelle Pryor (19-for-29, 217 YDS, 1 TD, 2 INT) didnt have real problems with that against Indianapolis and his running ability (112 YDS, 13 carries) made the Raiders at least a little bit dangerous on offence. 13. Falcons RB Steven Jackson (122 yards, 16 touches) had an efficient, productive game in his first game with Atlanta, even if he didnt end up finding the end zone. 14. Moving into the starting role vacated by Steven Jackson, Rams RB Daryl Richardson had 96 yards from scrimmage on 25 touches. 15. RB David Wilson (19 YDS, seven carries) lost a pair of fumbles and was benched in favour of DaRel Scott, who finished with 74 yards on 10 touches. Wilson was banished for fumbling early last season but, particularly with Andre Brown out due to a broken leg, the Giants dont have promising alternatives right now. 16. Steelers C Maurkice Pouncey and RB LaRod Stephens-Howling and ILB Larry Foote all suffered season-ending injuries. Pouncey tore his ACL and MCL, and figures to be replaced in the starting lineup by Kelvin Beachum, a seventh-round pick out of SMU in 2012. Stephens-Howling tore his ACL, hardly what the Steelers running game needed (more in the next point). Foote, the 33-year-old veteran, ruptured his bicep and will likely need surgery. Vince Williams, a sixth-round pick out of Florida State, is Footes probable replacement in the starting lineup. 17. Steelers RB Isaac Redman had nine yards and a lost fumble on eight carries, some of which could be attributed to the loss of Pouncey. Its easy to wonder how much worse Jonathan Dwyer -- who the Steelers cut at the end of camp -- would have been, but with Stephens-Howling out, it looks like the Steelers will be re-signing Dwyer. 18. Rams TE Jared Cook has been a popular breakout candidate for the last couple seasons and maybe the opportunity in St. Louis is going to work better than his time in Tennessee. Against Arizona, Cook had seven catches (10 targets) for 141 yards and a pair of touchdowns, fumbling once near the goalline when he was caught from behind by Cardinals FS Tyrann Mathieu. 19. Ravens TE Dallas Clark (7 REC, 87 YDS, team-leading 12 targets) played a big role for Baltimore, though he had some drops. There are reports that the Ravens are going to give TE Jake Ballard, a late cut from the Patriots, a look as they try to fill the void created by Dennis Pittas preseason injury. 20. For all the talk about how the Bills would feed the ball to RB C.J. Spiller, he had 22 touches (55 YDS) compared to 17 touches for Fred Jackson (108 YDS). The Bills may be more effective with the two-headed running back approach, but if Spiller is going to be an elite fantasy producer, he needs a greater percentage of the touches. 21. Patriots RB Shane Vereen (159 YDS, 21 touches) thrived with Stevan Ridley (46 YDS, 9 carries) getting benched after losing a fumble. Vereen was a nice value play entering the season, as a complement to Ridley, and thats still his role, but Vereen could put up quality yardage even in a secondary role. 22. Falcons WR Roddy White, who was listed as questionable (due to an ankle injury) had two catches (on two targets) for 19 yards against the Saints. Harry Douglas (4 REC, 93 YDS, 6 targets) and Julio Jones (7 REC, 76 YDS, 1 TD, 9 targets) led the Atlanta wideouts. 23. Bengals WR A.J. Green (9 REC, 162 YDS, 2 TD, 13 targets) was, naturally, the preferred target for QB Andy Dalton, while tight ends Tyler Eifert (5 REC, 47 YDS, 5 targets) and Jermaine Gresham (5 REC, 35 YDS, 5 targets) were the next most-productive receivers against the Bears. 24. Giants QB Eli Manning passed for 450 yards with four touchdowns, but contributed three interceptions to the Giants six turnover effort. With Eli throwing for 450 yards, the Giants had three wide receivers -- Victor Cruz (5 REC, 118 YDS, 3 TD, 8 targets), Hakeem Nicks (5 REC, 114 YDS, 8 targets) and Rueben Randle (5 REC, 101 YDS, 6 targets) -- go for more than 100 yards. 25. While top Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (4 REC, 22 YDS, 8 targets) was mostly invisible, WR Miles Austin (10 REC, 72 YDS, 12 targets), TE Jason Witten (8 REC, 70 YDS, 2 TD, 9 targets) led the way in the Dallas passing game. 26. Browns TE Jordan Cameron (9 REC, 108 YDS, 1 TD, 13 targets) was maybe the only bright spot for Browns as QB Brandon Weeden (26-for-53, 289 YDS, 1 TD, 3 INT) didnt inspire confidence. Dolphins CB Dmitri Patterson had two of the three picks against Weeden. 27. Dolphins WR Brian Hartline (9 REC, 114 YDS, 1 TD, 15 targets) had a big day, but there were other issues in the Miami receiving corps. Free agent acquisition Mike Wallace had one catch (five targets) for 15 yards. He wasnt happy about his role, especially when third receiver Brandon Gibson had seven catches (10 targets) for 77 yards. 28. The hope for the Cardinals coming into the season was that QB Carson Palmer would rejuvenate their passing attack. After all, he threw for 4,000 in Oakland last season and the Raiders didnt have Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald (8 REC, 80 YDS, 2 TD, 14 targets) did reap immediate rewards, but so too did WR Andre Roberts (8 REC, 97 YDS, 9 targets) and WR Michael Floyd (4 REC, 82 YDS, 6 targets). 29. Steelers WR Jerricho Cotchery (4 REC, 34 YDS, 1 TD), who scored their only touchdown, was targeted seven times, the same as Antonio Brown (5 REC, 71 YDS), who is the Steelers No. 1 receiver. Emmanuel Sanders (7 REC, 57 YDS) was targeted a dozen times against Tennessee. 30. Touches for Saints running backs: Darren Sproles, 14; Pierre Thomas, 13; Mark Ingram, 9. Same as it ever was. 31. One of my preferred value plays on draft day was to get Jets RB Bilal Powell (64 YDS, 16 touches) as a third or fourth running back. Given that hes getting more touches than Chris Ivory (15 YDS, 10 carries), Powell has some value, but hes still trying to establish that he can be a viable starter for the Jets, let alone for fantasy owners. 32. Bucs WR Vincent Jackson (7 REC, 154 YDS) was targeted on 13 of QB Josh Freemans 31 pass attempts as the Bucs didnt shy away from Jets CB Antonio Cromartie, who is thought to be a strong cover corner, but had few answers for Jackson. 33. The Packers passing game focused on WR Jordy Nelson (7 REC, 130 YDS, 1 TD, 10 targets) and WR Randall Cobb (7 REC, 108 YDS, 1 TD, 12 targets). James Jones, on the other hand, had no catches and was targeted twice. 34. Packers rookie RB Eddie Lacy gained 72 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 15 touches, though none of the Packers runs against San Francisco were for more than seven yards. 35. Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray had 125 yards from scrimmage on 28 touches. Philip Tanner was the only other running back to get touches and he had one carry and one pass reception. 36. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (25-for-33, 320 YDS, 1 TD) led Seattle to a road win. As great as Wilson was as a rookie in 2012, his only 300-yard passing game was in the playoff loss to Atlanta (when he threw for 385 yards). 37. With Percy Harvin sidelined, Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin -- not Sidney Rice, not Golden Tate -- led the Seattle passing attack with seven receptions (eight targets) for 91 yards. 38. Panthers QB Cam Newton (16-for-23, 125 YDS) didnt get the ball deep, completing one pass for longer than 15 yards and not connecting once with deep threat WR Brandon LaFell. 39. Taking advantage of Jonathan Stewarts absence Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (100 yards, one fumble lost, 20 touches) had a productive day, though a fourth-quarter fumble inside the Seahawks 10-yard line preserved Seattles five-point win. 40. There was lots of preseason hype for Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (3 YDS, 10 carries) and while his first game was no prize, its not like Daniel Thomas (14 YDS, 1 TD, eight carries) was effective running against the Browns defence either. Wait and see how they do against a different opponent, but Miller will obviously need to do more to solidify his hold on the position. 41. Vikings WR Jerome Simpson (7 REC, 140 YDS, 8 targets) is not yet ready to cede his starting spot to rookie Cordarrelle Patterson (1 REC, 10 YDS, 1 target). 42. With Ryan Broyles out, Nate Burleson was a productive option (6 REC, 78 YDS, 6 targets) at wide receiver for the Lions. 43. Jaguars QB Blaine Gabbert (16-for-35, 121 YDS, 2 INT) struggled, which didnt come as a surprise. Chad Henne (3-for-6, 36 YDS) might be a better option, considering Gabberts ineffectiveness and injuries -- he entered the game with a broken thumb and then suffered a gash that required 15 stitches in his hand. Any kind of upgrade would help Jaguars receivers Cecil Shorts and, when he returns from suspension, Justin Blackmon. 44. Ravens WR Marlon Brown (4 REC, 65 YDS, 1 TD, 6 targets) is an undrafted free agent out of Georgia who saw more playing time in the absence of Jacoby Jones, the return ace who was finally getting an opportunity to start at wide receiver before getting hurt. Jones suffered a sprained MCL, which will keep him out for the next four-to-six weeks, a good opportunity for Brown to establish himself as a reliable target for QB Joe Flacco. 45. There was plenty of preseason talk of Giovani Bernard taking the Bengals starting running back job from BenJarvus Green-Ellis, but The Law Firm had 15 touches, compared to Bernards five, in Week One. Of course BJGE gained 29 yards on his 15 touches and Bernard gained 30 on his five, so maybe the allocation is due to change. 46. Jackie Battle had eight carries, for 25 yards and a touchdown for the Titans, getting more touches than Shonn Greene as the secondary option behind Chris Johnson. 47. Prior to committing the last-minute penalty that gave the Jets the opportunity to kick the winning field goal, OLB Lavonte David was a beast for Tampa Bay, recording 8 total tackles, one sack, one interception and two passes defended. 48.

The team will interview Clippers assistants Tyronn Lue and Alvin Gentry over the next two days for their coaching job, a person with knowledge of the meetings told The Associated Press. Lue, who has spent the past four seasons working under Doc Rivers in Boston and Los Angeles, is meeting with the Cavs on Thursday and Gentry is scheduled to sit down with the Cavs on Friday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting during its search. The Cavaliers are looking for their third coach in three years after firing Mike Brown -- for the second time -- this month following a 33-49 season.

This week, Donovan would not guarantee he would be back for another season with the Gators. Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, however, said Wednesday he has not been contacted by any NBA teams to speak with Donovan. ' ' '

Gout or not?
May 16th, 2013
My husband saw a doctor who very quickly diagnosed his pain as gout without any testing whatsoever. He is 39, a smoker, but in pretty good health aside from slightly overweight. He has severe pain on the top of his left foot, like where the foot connects to the leg where all the little bones are. He hasn't had any injury to the area. He can hardly stand on the foot without stabbing pain. The doc gave him prescription tylenol type pain medication. All the research I've done since then has not backed this diagnosis. Am I missing something? Should he request a specific test? Thanks.

A blog about random things and sometimes about my work translating and developing KDE and anything
Monday, October 26, 2009
Jargon is bad
Example follows:
Yesterday my grandmother was bit by something she qualifies as jargon. She bought a new printer, one that can hold xD cards inside and print directly from there, when plugging the xD card she was told by the printer LCD "Do you want to format the card? Formatting the card in printer format will make it faster bla bla" and, she answered "Yes", and all the photos went to the heaven of photos.
The problem here is that we all know formatting means erasing, killing, vanishing the contents, but my grandmother did not. So should "format" considered jargon? Or maybe we should keep using format but on the confirmation question mention "erasing" too?
11 comments:
I'd say format is definitely jargon. It's very technical, as it refers to organizing the file storage structure in a particular way - something a majority of users haven't heard of, and with good reason I'd say: a user just wants the photos "be" on the card/disk/etc; they don't care about the "format" of file structure, they might event not care/realize that those photos are actually stored in the same way as files on their computer.
I don't want to imply that users are dumb, hell no. I'm just saying that a typical non-geek user wants things to work without them needing to understand how they work internally, and I consider disk/partition formatting a purely internal thing.
I think "erasing" should definitely be used in such case.
- Monday, October 26, 2009 12:49:00 AM
No, the "format" is not jargon. That function is just placed to very stupid place without real information what is happening.
The problem is very bad description of action.
If the function is that it will format card, then it is correct term there. The "erase" would be correct, if it would erase card, but leave the filesystem intact otherwise, simple saying, it wouldn't format the card.
They should change the function to delete files, not to format it. And then they could call it "erase all files?". And after that they could add description for the function.

The description should have a warning that "you'll lose any files on the disk" (or something similar). I'm sure I have seen such messages for several similar 'format'/disk-initialisation actions.

This also applies to plasma, plasmoid, widget, and anything that appears on the screen without a titlebar, unless it provides text via mouse-hover or similar means. That's why I'm not willing to use KDE4 yet.

maybe you can recover some photos with http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

I think the real problem there is not with the terminology, but with why the heck a printer is offering to format a memory card, especially one which is clearly non-empty. Printers are there to print the contents they get fed with, it's their job to deal with whatever format you throw at it and not touch it. If the printer manufacturer really wants to offer that feature, it should be hidden in some submenu (and yes, there should definitely be a warning about it erasing all the data!), not be suggested in an unsolicited way.

If the function is that it will format card, then it is correct term there. The "erase" would be correct, if it would erase card, but leave the filesystem intact otherwise, simple saying, it wouldn't format the card.
It's not about is it correct or not. The question is in using special terms (jargon) when dealing with non-geek users.
So there is a dilemma:
1. Use correct terms, but have problems with non-geek users
2. Use "incorrect" terms but help novice users get what they want.
3. Alternative? ... Maybe always offer help button or tooltips to explaining jargon.
IMHO, correct terms are less important than helping users get what they want.
- Monday, October 26, 2009 8:15:00 AM
In this case, just use the correct term. It's not very technical - I would think that a majority of the users, although not knowing what exactly a "format" does, do know that somehow every media can be "formatted" to wipe its contents out.
The application's fault was not to explain that formatting the memory card would result in erasing its contents. Even DOS did warn the user before formatting a disk, and that was long before usability became a concern.
Formatting IS a technical operation, not an everyday task, so if an application insists in asking the user to do it, it should explain to him what that operation will mean for his data.
The application behaviour is broken, not the term.

Seriously, I think that's a more of a bug than a feature. It just shouldn't be there. Or possibly be hidden behind several levels of menus and a big red warning sign...
Oh yes, let's format the card to some unknown filesystem that only the printer understands.
And then the camera will want to do the same.
And then I'd bring out the hammer, because both apparently suck :P

@blindvic "IMHO, correct terms are less important than helping users get what they want."
Correct terms are always the most important thing what you can do. Without correct terms, people who do not know the stuff, can not search help at all. If we start using own invented terms for functions what are well know, happens the real jargon.
Jargon is as well the information what is misleading because there is not a correct term used.
Lets think the printer by logical way.
You have 5-in-1 printer what has a 7-in-1 card reader on it. The device main point is to print files and scan files. Then possible even store scanned file to memory card if needed.
If storing possibility is found, then the format function is needed for the printer as well.
But, as most people knows, the memory cards are already formated (usually to FAT16) (some card manufactures not, because they do not want to pay to microsoft about patents) so the format function is not the one what is needed to show on first place, but somewhere on options.
The printer should have the knowledge to check the card and see if it has filesystem what it recognize. If not, then suggest checkin the card on computer or give option to format disk with warnings it will erase all the data on it.
I do not know why they even placed the format function to printer at first place. I can only think the storing functions for it. But it was very stupid to place it to such place that normal user gets that in front of him/her without good description what is going to happend. THAT was the mistake, not that it was "format".
It would be very unwise to start changing correct technical terms to such ones what does not mean anything else. If the card gets formatted, then it is "Format" and nothing else. If the cards files get deleted, then the correct term there like "Erase all files".
If the card gets formatted but you change the term for that "Erase all files". Then even experienced user gets misleaded to format the card who wanted to keep it example as FAT32 and not as FAT16 what device would format it.
Using the technical terms is not jargon at all when it is correct and needed. The important thing is to explain what it is going to do if the term does not tell it right away.
There is many devices whats usability has be raped because there is designers who are afraid about "Jargon" and they give such terms what is not used to such function on anywhere else. So when the people have learned what the term means, it does not do what they expect.
To help normal users, it is most important to use correct terms, but it does not mean you should only throw technical short versions in front of them. That is one difficult thing on usability.
Example to the action format card. You do not change the function what the device does for device, but just the test what is shown on screen.
1. Format YES/NO
2. Format (this erase all data) YES/NO
3. Erase all data (format) YES/NO
4. Erase all data YES/NO
5. Format (to FAT16) YES/NO
6. Format (this erase all data and change the filesystem to FAT16) YES/NO
7. Format (to FAT16) WARNING, this erase all data. YES/NO
8. Empty the card YES/NO
9. Clean the card YES/NO
10. Fix the card YES/NO
11. Fix the card (this erase all data) YES/NO

While I agree with Aaron that there's no need to call every UI element by their internal names such as "plasmoid", there is definitely a place for using the correct terms for things. I also agree with some of the other posters here: The printer should not even have offered such a choice automatically.
It seems clear cut in this case to say "it should have said 'delete all'/'erase all' instead" but there a other cases where being too "user friendly" with terminology winds up being unfriendly for the user and even others who would support them.
Consider the multitude of removable media types there are for photos: xD, SD, CF, Memory Stick etc, etc. It would be easy for users for manuals and software strings to pretend that the type a user has is only one that exists - calling it "the picture card", rather than specifying what type of card is in use or being supported...until a user has a type the reader cannot use. Then simply calling everything "picture card" becomes a problem for all involved.
At some point, people need to learn basic terms for the stuff they use. Certainly we cannot use terms that only %5 understand, but there also needs to be a baseline of knowledge. Otherwise, we run the risk of regressing our documentation and UI strings to descriptions of descriptions all to avoid sounding "too technical" to some portion of the user base. Back to Aaron's plasmoids, even the term "widget" is a nonsense term for some. What then? At some point we simply need to put up an image with arrows that says "these are widgets, that is a taskbar, this is an icon" and then define those things.
IMHO, the solution is multipronged:
1. Use smart defaults and design
2. Use accurate terms that correspond with common knowledge where possible
3. Where the term cannot correspond with common knowledge - explain it

Type 1 diabetes is a disorder usually caused by autoimmune destruction of the insulin secreting cells of the pancreas, resulting in the body's inability to produce sufficient insulin to meet bodily needs. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows the body to use sugar (glucose) for energy. Without insulin, glucose from the carbohydrate foods you eat cannot enter cells. This causes glucose to build up in the blood, leaving your body cells and tissues starved for energy. While a variety of tissue transplantation techniques are under development and some genetically-based treatments have been proposed, at this point in time, the only widely-available treatments for type 1 diabetes are the injection of insulins and inhaled insulin.

The American Diabetes Association estimates that 500,000 to 1 million people in the United States have type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes usually begins in childhood and young adulthood between 8-12 years of age. It was previously called juvenile diabetes, but the name was changed to type 1 diabetes mellitus since adults, as well as children, can develop this disease. The latter is then called latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood (LADA).
In the United States, type 1 diabetes is one of the most frequently diagnosed chronic diseases of children. According to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, each year approximately 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over 13,000 of whom are children—35 children every day.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by the attack and destruction of insulin-producing cells (beta cells) in the pancreas by the body's immune system. In people who may be genetically predisposed to this disease, exposure to factors in the environment may trigger the immune system response. The exact cause remains unknown. The trigger may be a virus, a food, a chemical, or a drug.
Type 1 diabetes may also develop because of other medical conditions. It may develop in:
The key to controlling diabetes is maintaining your blood sugar level (fasting and after meals) within a normal range. This is done with a combination of insulin therapy, diet, and exercise. When your blood sugar levels are not within the ideal range, diabetes can cause the following problems:

How to Apply CSS3 Effects and Transforms in Dreamweaver
The CSS3 effects and transforms can be defined in the CSS Styles panel. Creating a CSS3 effect takes some typing on your part. To add a CSS3 effect or transform to a style definition, follow these steps:
1From the All tab of the CSS Styles panel, select the style and then click the Add Property link.
A new row becomes active at the bottom of the panel.
2Choose either an effect from the drop-down list in the first (left) row of the new column or type Transform.
To apply an effect, such as border-radius, choose that effect from the menu.
To apply a transition, such as rotate, choose Transform from the menu. A second drop-down list then appears in the right column from which you can choose specific transforms (such as rotate, scale, skew, or translate).
3Enter a value(s) for the transition or effect in the second column.
The amount of help you get varies. For example, if you define a border-radius effect, a handy dialog box pops up when you click the second column in the CSS Styles panel. Then click outside the popup dialog to apply the settings you selected.
4When you finish defining effects and transitions, choose File→Save All to save both your open HTML document and the linked style sheet.
You can see the impact of your effects and transitions by previewing your page in a browser (choose File→Preview in Browser).

So Far Across The Sea
So Far Across The Sea.
Yet So Close In My Mind.
I Could Touch You,
If It Weren't For The Ocean.
But I Can Dream Of You,
Because Of My Memories.
If My Arms Would Reach,
I Would Hold You Until The Dawn.
I Would Gently Touch Your Face,
So That You Would Know You Are Loved.
If Only Your Lips Were Close Enough To Kiss.
I Would Hold That Memory Forever.
If Only Your Ears Were Close Enough To Hear.
I Would Whisper, "I Love You."

Stress affects me just as much as the next woman. I break out. I become short-tempered. And, of course, I reach for the nearest chocolate. But worry never seems to rock my sex life. Or it didn't, until a few months ago, when an unusually large number of looming deadlines began to curb my once unshakable libido. My husband, Steve, and I were under constant pressure, and at bedtime, I was so not in the mood. Steve's blasé reaction to my refusal showed he wasn't either. After two weeks without action (a long time for us), I began to worry. The grind used to be what we did every night. Now it had become the definition of our days.
More Sex, Less Stress
Yoga? Yawn. Research shows a great way to ward off anxiety is by connecting in bed. Grab your partner and feel tension slip away.
Story continues below…
4 Steps to Crank up Your ChemistryGet in the Mood to Say Yes! to SexFeel Closer, in and out of BedAnswers to Your Most Intimate Questions
They say stress kills, and I would argue that it's true, especially when it comes to sex drive. "Stress makes you tired, distracted and unmotivated to do anything, much less have sex," says Laura Berman, Ph.D., director of the Berman Center for women's sexual health in Chicago. "When a woman is stressed, the hormonal changes in her body trigger a chemical reaction, causing sex hormone-binding globulin to bind with testosterone cells, so they're unavailable for libido and sexual response." And, in a pattern familiar to many women, sexlessness due to stress makes you more tense and even less sexual. Furthermore, a study at the University of Gottingen in Germany found that people who do it less often tend to take on more work to compensate for their frustration. And the increased labor results in—you guessed it—even less sex.
Call it a catch-69, the cruel irony that a proven cure for stress—a hot sex life—is exactly what stress destroys. Connecting with a partner (and I mean physically) is a balm for the body. "Being in an intimate relationship correlates to healing faster, getting sick less often and living longer," says James Coan, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. "Good relationships offset tension in daily life." Anxiety spikes blood pressure, which hobbles the immune system. "But when you have sex, you release feel-good hormones, including oxytocin and endorphins," Coan adds. Eventually, you begin to associate your partner with those positive feelings, and he becomes someone you trust to be your soother during tough times.
All this had me scratching my head, wondering, Can a relationship be "good" without good sex? Or is sex the glue?
"If the sex is satisfying, it's one part of a larger relationship," Berman says. "But if your sex life isn't working, the entire relationship is vulnerable to distancing, infidelity and a breakup. Sex eases anger. When we connect physically, we cut our partners slack. But when there's no sexual connection, you get angrier quicker. Feeling angry, you're less likely to want sex. Before long, you're not having it at all and the relationship frays. Over time, it will crumble."
No two ways about it: Despite how overwhelmed we felt, Steve and I were going to have to reboot our sex life to save our health, our state of mind and perhaps even our relationship. I suggested a four-week experiment: We would have sex every time we felt stressed. Steve wasn't sure prescribing contact could cure my anxiety, but he agreed to try. I think the notion of a calm wife appealed to him even more than imagining the pleasure to come.
First step: more kissing, hugging and cuddling. Indeed, simply holding hands can allay stress, Coan's research shows.
"We asked women to lie in an MRI scanner to measure brain response to an electrical shock—first when holding a stranger's hand and then holding their husband's hand," he says. I contemplate why anyone would even choose to be electrically shocked. "The shocks were mild. Like walking across the carpet and touching a doorknob. We wanted to observe the response to anticipatory stress—a good comparison to everyday anxiety—so we gave them a warning, saying, In 4 to 12 seconds, you might get a shock.'"
The results: When holding their husband's hand, women showed a significantly reduced stress response in the brain compared with holding a stranger's hand. And those in happy relationships "showed the least stress response," Coan says.
Kissing and hugging, too, alleviate daily anxiety. Berman's research found that unaffectionate couples report more stress and depression than their cuddling counterparts, and pairs who smooch a lot are eight times less likely to be tense or depressed. The best way to stay connected and stress-free, scientists believe, is to keep the touching going, especially during rocky times.
I got my first chance to test the power of the pucker soon after beginning the experiment. The cat spilled water on my keyboard, and whenever I hit the space bar, the letter b appeared onscreen. On deadline, I desperately needed my space! I felt like crying. Instead, I found Steve in the living room and flung myself at him. Canoodling didn't magically repair my keyboard. (I found an old one in the basement.) But the kissing did soothe.
The arrival of the Visa bill challenged our success with the make-out cure. We spent too much last month. I had to remind myself that physical contact wasn't a fix for overspending (if only!); it was supposed to be a salve for financial anxiety. I put down the bill and gave Steve a hug. "Not working," I lamented.
"Time to up the dose," Steve said, waggling his eyebrows.
We retreated to the bedroom in the early evening, while our kids were watching TV. We locked the door and undressed. Heart pounding at the prebedtime nudity, I focused on the moment. It was our first time in weeks! During, and for an hour afterward, I couldn't have thought about money if I tried. When I picked up the bill again, it still gave me palpitations. But they were less violent.
Back on track, Steve and I were "upping the dosage" frequently. This method would dramatically improve our stress levels, according to Stuart Brody, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of the West of Scotland at Paisley. In one study, people kept a diary of their sexual activity for two weeks. Brody then monitored their blood pressure when they spoke in public and did verbal arithmetic, classic stress inducers. Those who tried the nooky cure had the lowest blood pressure. Self-pleasuring and other substitutes didn't offer the blood pressure-leveling punch of actually doing it. For women, sexual intercourse triggered key nerves in the vagina and cervix, was psychologically satisfying and released calming hormones in the brain, more so than any other sex play did—factors that added up to lowered blood pressure. "Intercourse specifically is linked to better psychological and physical health," Brody says.
There are a couple of other activities that make me float on air, but I wasn't going to tangle with Brody, a scientist with fistfuls of data. I was happy to do it nonstop if sex would relieve stress. The week's big test: I went to the drugstore to pick up some medicine for my daughter. The pharmacist told me the Rx wasn't ready, even though I'd confirmed with another pharmacist that it was. I stormed home empty-handed and spitting mad. I burst into the apartment. Steve, reading the paper at the table, noticed my flaring nostrils and said, "I suppose you'll want to medicate that."
I did, in the interest of science. Several minutes into afterglow, the pharmacist called and said the prescription was in fact ready; he had filed it in the wrong place. A few weeks ago, I probably would have gotten angry all over again for the inconvenience his error caused me. But that day I felt forgiving. People make mistakes. Perhaps sex was systemically calming. If I stopped sweating the small stressors, I might even be a kinder person. Attention, Professor Brody: future study on sex and personality change?
An editor asked me to do a major revision on a magazine article I'd moved off my desk months before. I thought it was finished; I thought wrong. The fixes were needed today, naturally, by 2 P.M.
Herein lies the one problem with the sex cure: So much of my stress results from there being just 24 hours in a day. If I used sex to medicate time-pressure stress, and if sex itself required at least 15 minutes, wouldn't the cure exacerbate the problem?
Only one way to find out! I tracked down Steve in the den, where he was studying a music score. (He's an opera singer.) That we both work from home is a boon for the experiment—constant access! When I explained my desires to Steve, he groaned, but not in a sexy way. Under time pressure himself, he warned, "Don't expect much," closed his score and made room on his lap for me.
Three hours later, the quickie had turned into a longie. I glanced at the clock and saw that my revision was due in 10 minutes. I hadn't started it yet. Amazingly, the anxiety I expected to flood into my head did not. I got out of bed and down to business. With laser focus (is intercourse linked to concentration?), I did the rewrite and sent it an hour late. On the phone, my editor sounded annoyed, but her peevishness bounced off me. I felt a spark of worry after we hung up. But only a spark. Nothing requiring more nooky. I wondered if a quickie would not have been as stress-reducing. It stands to reason. Because more sex equals better effects, longer sessions might be like double dosing. My new worry: Could they cause sex addiction?
I had officially gone from casual user to junkie. Steve, meanwhile, was showing signs of fatigue. When he said he was "tired," I reacted like a crack addict denied the pipe. He told me to "calm down," but my nerves (in places only he could satisfy) needed tweaking to do just that! He said something about missing sex for sex's sake, then fell asleep. How dare he nod off when I was stressed?
A few days later, I switched on the kitchen light and watched it flicker and blow. A second later, the apartment went dark. Steve tried flipping circuit breakers, but nothing worked. I called an electrician. Hanging up, I said, "We've got an hour."
"How can you think of sex now?" he asked.
How could I not? When something went wrong, my body started to twitch. I'd conditioned myself like a lab rat trained to push a lever for food. Logically, I realized connecting sex and anxiety in this way probably wasn't smart. But scientists had proven the two were tied physiologically. A mental link was merely following suit. At least thinking about the sex-stress mind meld meant I wasn't fretting about how much the blown wires might cost.
When the electrician, Joe, arrived, he took one look at our fuse box and said, "Whoa, this doesn't look good."
I grabbed Steve's hand.
Joe said, "You might have to replace the whole box."
I kissed Steve on the neck.
Joe said, "That'd be a two-day job. About $1,000."
I all but jumped Steve right there on the kitchen floor.
The electrician squinted at the spectacle. Steve peeled me off and said, "Would you excuse us?"
As Joe poked around in the box, Steve and I went upstairs, ideally to do the same. The idea of paying $1,000 was making me so randy, I could barely contain myself. In the bedroom, I lunged. Steve, however, wasn't feeling the frisk. Apparently offended by my behavior, he called me "inappropriate" and "insane." He was cutting me off, saying I needed "to detox."
"Come on," I begged, "just five minutes on the bed!"
I could only imagine what the electrician would think if he could overhear our discussion. When we went back to the action downstairs (because nothing was going to happen in the bedroom), Joe kept his eyes glued to his work. Twenty minutes later, he said his repair would hold us for a few more years and we wouldn't need a major fix. Maybe the fuse box's wiring wouldn't, but I continued to think my wiring might be going berserk.
When plagued by small stressors, it's easy to forget that bigger issues are always lurking. We got word that, after a long illness, Steve's father was slipping away. While Steve drove to Maine to be there at the end, the kids and I, at his urging, stayed at home.
So I was alone, frantic about Steve driving north, distraught, in a snowstorm. With him gone, the daily demands of child, pet and house care doubled. Within hours of his leaving, I went right back to medium-level stress, with spikes of high-grade when I got the sad updates from Steve on the phone.
Seeking solace one evening, I left the girls to fight over the remote and locked myself in my bedroom to "de-stress" on my own. Although Brody had warned me that vibrators are a poor substitute for sex, in terms of anxiety relief, I endeavored to try. After a few minutes, I gave up. My heart wasn't in it. Although physically relaxing, all this self-lovin' wouldn't significantly lower blood pressure wrought by stress, according to Brody. "Different nerves are involved," he says. "Post-orgasmic hormonal release, which is more satisfying and better for mental health, is dramatically greater during evolution-favoring, potentially reproductive sexual behavior." (I took his word but couldn't help but think, Don't knock the me-time orgasm until you've tried it.) Still, I wasn't enjoying my mission. I missed Steve and worried about him, and that wouldn't change until he came home.
Simply seeing your partner after a stressful time apart can be a relief, says Darby Saxbe, doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles, who did a study on how marital satisfaction affects your ability to chill after a tough day at work. She compared women in unhappy marriages with happily wed women and found that those in more supportive, satisfying unions had a steeper drop in cortisol when they arrived home after a stressful 9 to 5. "The women in solid marriages may be better able to find the time and space to relax," Saxbe says. "The happier the relationship, the better off the woman will be."
When Steve finally returned after a week, we held hands, hugged and kissed plenty. And, of course, we got around to the sex part. Nothing, however, felt as supremely calming for me as his merely walking in the door, my seeing he was OK and then us talking about his grief. I'd say that my marital satisfaction was higher, and therefore more stress-relieving, when we were making an emotional connection rather than when the connection was physical. Which presents another theory, proven true as far as my own marriage is concerned: Sex may treat all the various symptoms of stress, but love is the ultimate cure.

David Adams Junr.
A member of the senior class
of Harvard University & son
of David & Mary Adams
died March 4th 1805
AEtat. 22
O death, where is thy sting
O grave where is thy victory
Thanks be to God who giveth me the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ
As flowers of summer falls to bloom no more
As billows rise and die upon the shore
So Generations live and pass away
They sleep in silence till the judgement day
David Adams was the son of David Adams and Mary Woodman. He was born 4 November 1782 in Derry, and died on 4 March 1805, unmarried. His father, David Adams, was born 10 December 1754 in Newbury, Massachusetts and died 24 January 1838 in Derry; he married Mary Woodman on 22 September 1778 in Newbury. They had seven children, and their son David was the third child. He was a descendant of Robert Adams (1582 - 1676) one of the first settlers of Newbury.
This young student was eulogized in The Monthly Anthology and Boston Review, Volume 2, 1805, Boston, edited by Samuel Cooper Thacher, David Phineas Adams and William Emerson on pages 164 - 165
'Bleffed are the pure in heart: For they fhall fee God.'
At Londonderry, N.H. on the 4th of March, Mr. DAVID ADAMS, Jun. fenior fophifter of Harvard Univerfity, AEt. 22
When the eminently good are removed from this world, an account of their characters becomes interefting, and may be ufeful not only to their friends, but to the publick.
Efpecially when the young, diftinguifhed by uncommon piety and purity of life are taken away, an example is afforded us, which the duty we owe to heaven and ourfelves directs us ferioufly to notice, and rightly to improve.
Seldom do we witnefs a life fo pure, and a death fo happy, as were exhibited by this truly excellent and amiable young man. Poffeffing the moft placid and affectionate difpofition, united to a ftrong and cultivated mind, he attracted the efteem and conciliated the affection of all, who knew him. Diftinguifhed by uncommonly correct principles, his life was untainted by the vices and unfpotted by the irregularities of youth."

The Senate Filibuster Deal
Gerard N. Magliocca
Rarely has so much been given away by so few for so little. We can always hope that the Senate will exercise more restraint with respect to the filibuster, but don't count on that. The only people who will benefit from this are professors who write about Congress.
Not a good week for Democrats. First, Frontline (properly) indicts the Obama administration for refusing to go after any Wall Street executives. Then this cave which bears all the marks of an inside job that was set from the beginning. This is why people refuse to vote. I wonder if the Democrats in Washington have any clue whatsoever how totally corrupt they look. How in league with the elite every bit as much as the Republicans and how phony their claims to be progressive they appear to be. How little they seem to care whether they look corrupt or not.
I would like to see almost the whole lot of them -- a few obvious exclusions -- cleaned out by progressive challengers in upcoming primaries.
Of course mls will also benefit from his defense of "The Tyrannosaurus of the Minority" at his blog.
Is this complicated? Reid has been in the minority, and fully expects to be in the minority again at some point, possibly as soon as two years hence. He doesn't want to get rid of a rule he'll be taking advantage of himself, just for short term advantage.
The activists can fantasize about rules changes which will bite you as soon as the wind shifts, the pros are in it for the long game.
Filibusters will be abolished under one of two circumstances:
1. The majority have a reasonable expectation of remaining the majority, (But not a supermajority!) for a long series of election cycles. But how do you get a situation where you're confident of remaining the majority, but don't have a supermajority?
2. The majority think the end game has arrived, and there ISN'T a long term anymore to worry about.
Will this modest change improve the image of Congress, or vice versa [after all, Congress has not hit ground zero as yet].
And in Brett's #2, is the end game a new Mayan-type prediction?
It only takes a simple majority to change Senate rules.
The Democrat Senate majority simply decided they did not want to give up the power of the filibuster in case the voters returned them to the minority say in 2014 or 2016.
No real surprise.
The "activists" include someone who was a legislative intern in the 1970s. The "activists" are aware of the fact that the Senate has changed hands over the last few decades.
The proposed reforms were not to "end" the filibuster. But, various senators, partially since it adds to their personal power and the institution encourages conservatism, opposed limited reforms. Likewise, though important, it simply is not a major issue for the public. Ask the average person, s/he probably is not aware you need 60 votes.
The filibuster has been used quite differently by one party in recent years, skewering the system. When this occurs, common law rules like that should change to balance things out. Long term, this will also benefit Democrats, in part since even in the Bush years, they simply did not use it like this.
So, even when they are out of power, they won't 'benefit' as much since (happily) they respect governing more.
"The Democrat Senate majority simply decided they did not want to give up the power of the filibuster in case the voters returned them to the minority say in 2014 or 2016"
This is a real possibility. Kerry's ego-centric move to Sec. of State might mean a GOP pick up by Brown in Massachusets. More importantly, the Dems gun control talk and measures is likely to go very badly for them in contests such as North Carolina, Colorado, West Virginia and South Dakota. The party is going to be branded as anti-2nd Amendment, and in off-Presidential elections that is very bad.
"Ask the average person, s/he probably is not aware you need 60 votes."
I really think the Democratic Party and Obama need to use their resources to make voters aware of these kinds of things. The anti-democratic plays the GOP is involved in now, gerrymandering districts so that they can get 1 million votes less nationwide yet still maintain the House and now working to get several blue states to divide electoral votes by congressional district, need to be pointed out by the Democratics until the GOP is shamed by public outrage to trying to actually win elections by getting more voters than their opponents.
"they won't 'benefit' as much since (happily) they respect governing more"
Given their philosophical stances it's not really surprising that the Dems might want to pass bills but the GOP's goal is to stop bills. A 'small government' party is going to measure success by bills stopped (unless those bills are cutting government, which rarely actually happens).
The Republican Party is not the Libertarian Party. If the House passed things and the Republicans controlled the Senate, would they similarly "small government" like stop things? Also, the use of filibusters apply also to nominations, including federal judges. Not being libertarians, Republican senators didn't filibuster executive friendly Bush judges and their current anti-Obama moves in that department are ideologically logical, but not simply a matter of "small government."
Also, why is Kerry "egocentric" for wishing to be Secretary of State? He has had a long career in the Senate with a foreign policy focus. He is well qualified and since leading Republicans support him, it would be a logical move to save valuable party resources.
Is it that they might lose a Senate seat? On the merits there, unlike last time, the Democrats have a much stronger candidate & more time to run the campaign & Scott Brown, already a one time loser, no longer a surprise. It is quite unclear if he even wants to run & if he did if he actually is their best option.
Poll data suggests the "gun talk" is actually quite popular particularly if they don't pass an "assault weapon" ban. Background check and other measures are much harder to demonize, especially since Newtown provides an emotional concrete event.
Query if Republicans might be the one weakened on this front, any attempt to use the issue providing a chance to show border senators' opposition to an assault weapon ban while support for sensible regulations while opponents can have the death of 20 children put around their neck. This might be deemed in bad taste in some fashion, but politics isn't beanbag.
"The Republican Party is not the Libertarian Party"
True, and it is not so much the actual Senators I'm talking about, but rather 'movement conservatives' and the Tea Party. They are not angered by a dysfunctional Senate because they see it as thwarting bills that would increase government (as to bills that might come up in a GOP controlled Senate to 'cut' government, most movement conservatives simply don't buy that seeing as how so many of these 'deregulatory' bills retain much regulation in their eyes and 'spending cuts' are often simply cuts in projected increases).
"why is Kerry "egocentric" for wishing to be Secretary of State?"
Because it could hurt his party. I hope you are right about his seat staying Democratic, but surely there exists other Democratic diplomats who could have taken the SOS seat and Kerry could have held that seat.
"Query if Republicans might be the one weakened on this front"
That's a reasonable view, but I think unlikely. There was no more skilled politician that pushed gun control measures than Bill Clinton in the 90's, focusing on 'cop killer' bullets and weapons and such. And the result? His party historically lost the House. In off-year elections gun rights proponents vote and are single issue, gun control proponents not so much.
You now limit your original statement which was "the GOP's goal" to "movement conservatives" or the like. Tea Party types repeatedly support more federal government when it involves conservative policy. But, regardless, that isn't what you said, whatever your meant.
As to Kerry, the first option was someone else and we saw how that went. If a strong candidate was not available and Scott Brown already losing to "Professor" Warren, the "egotistical" case would have been stronger.
Newtown wasn't there, even if some individual much less horrible crimes could be cited. If instead of some 'assault weapon' ban was at issue something more comprehensive as here, it could have gone differently. Likewise, Bill Clinton's attempt at health care went differently, in part because the approach was different.
Even some pro-reg types don't find "assault weapon" bans very helpful. OTOH, more so than there, some regulation has broad support and the NRA is coming off as a bit insane, including having ads targeting the President's daughters. Don't recall similar ads against Chelsea, but I might be misremembering.
Our yodeler posits:
"It only takes a simple majority to change Senate rules."
But he does not elaborate on whether a simple majority may do so at any time or only at the beginning of a "new" Congress.
Then our yodeler proceeds with his usual simplicity in complex matters and suggests that the Democrats' decision not to pull the plug on filibuster was from fear of losing their majority in 2014 or 2016. But if this is as simple as our yodeler says, what's to prevent a simple majority of GOP Senators from pulling the plug on filibuster in 2014 or 2016, whether at the beginning of each "new" Congress or any time in between?
No, the decision was not so simple as suggested by our Simple Simon yodeler. Perhaps in time we'll get a better idea of why it came out this way, like maybe the votes were iffy.
[Note: I had expected mls, our yodeler's apparent soul-mate, to challenge our yodeler's simplicity. But ....]
I'm back after a scroll through Daily Kos to point to a post there yesterday on our very own yodeler's mentor:
"Tom Tancredo loses bet, must become a pothead now."
Can our yodeler be far behind in the Mile High State (of mind)?
Shag- I hereby affirm that Bart's statement, ie, that a majority can change the rules at any time, oversimplifies the situation. As does the December 12 letter to the Senate, which says that a majority can change the rules, but only at the beginning of a "new Senate." Perhaps now that the Senate has acted, Professor Maggliocca will be willing to defend the various statements made in the letter.
I also think that Reid's reasons for not using the "nuclear option" are more complicated than simply wanting to protect against the Republicans doing the same thing in the future. I think a lot of people, including law professors who like to give advice to the Senate, underestimate the collateral consequences of changing the rules on a party-line vote.
Consider the simplistic question of whether Reid "has the votes" to change the rules by a simple majority. That's the not the only question that matters to Reid. He also has to consider how many of his votes will be reluctant or downright resentful, and whether they will turn around and say "I told you so" if the changes to the rules end up making the Senate even more dysfunctional than it is now.
Reid also knows that if he uses the "nuclear option" (which is what the media will call it regardless of whether you agree with the term) there will be plenty of wags who will label everything bad that happens thereafter as "nuclear fallout," whether it is related or not.
Even if we assume that there would be no significant blowback to changing the rules, and that the Senate would settle in easily to being a majoritarian institution, this isn't necessarily such a good thing from Reid's perspective. He now has to change his entire political calculus because he can no longer blame Republican filibusters for everything that doesn't get through the Senate (some of which he may prefer not get through, such as gun control) and he won't be able to share the blame for things that do get through that don't turn out so well.
Thanks, mls. There are very few really simple problems in constitutional law especially with political overtones. I did wish to see an actual speaking filibuster rule adopted, especially since my minimal cable commitment now includes C-SPAN. A little Senate comedy in the course of a filibuster is preferable to Judge Judy and the other TV "judges."
"You now limit your original statement which was "the GOP's goal" to "movement conservatives" or the like."
I'm not sure this limits it much, few GOP pols are going to put themselves against movement conservatives right now.
"Tea Party types repeatedly support more federal government when it involves conservative policy"
Of course there is some cognitive dissonance in the Tea Party's "small government" philosophy, but it is still the explicitly stated philosophy. They perhaps don't realize how obstructionism might limit programs they want to see enacted, but that just isn't driving them right now.
"Likewise, Bill Clinton's attempt at health care went differently, in part because the approach was different."
Obama's health care approach largely cost the Dems the House in 2010. Clinton did talk about comprehensive gun control, it was he that put in the Brady Bill as well as his assault weapons ban. People who are not sympathetic to the NRA saw them as over-extreme then too, but these are single issue and devoted voters who turn out in off-year elections. 2014 could be bad for the Dems...
Nothing prevents a new GOP Senate from changing rules to eliminate the filibuster, except the same desire to maintain this power if they return to the minority keeping the Democrats from eliminating the filibuster today.
The filibuster is popular among Senators because it is practically impossible to lose power under this rule.
Our yodeler's:
"The filibuster is popular among Senators because it is practically impossible to lose power under this rule."
is one of the reasons Sandy Levinson has "Second thoughts" on "Constitutional Faith."
So our yodeler joins mls in "The Tyrannosaurus of the Minority" club, indeed a club!
Here's BREAKING NEWS from TPM on our yodeler's mentor:
"Tancredo Backs Out Of Bet To Smoke Pot!"
Damn, I was looking forward to a "joint" appearance of our yodeler with his mentor, now all up - but not in smoke. But the good news for our yodeler is more DUI defense work with ganja for recreational use in the Mile Hight State (of mind).
What makes you think I support the filibuster?
Where Sandy and I disagree concerning the Senate is that I think a geographic allocation of seats in one chamber of Congress is a good idea to keep urban states from dominating rural states, while Sandy wants a proportional parliament.
FWIW, I would replace the filibuster with a rule mandating a certain length of debate for each bill.
The answer to our yodeler's question:
"What makes you think I support the filibuster?"
is how he "filibustered" for most of the eight years of Bush/Cheney in their support, including especially on WMDs.
Perhaps on the Senate filibuster, we may be in agreement with a speaking filibuster with time limits. If so, so be it. If no, then so be it as well.
It only takes a simple majority to change Senate rules.
The Democrat Senate majority simply decided they did not want to give up the power of the filibuster in case the voters returned them to the minority say in 2014 or 2016.
No real surprise.
Bart has lurched uncontrollably into the truth here.
I don't know about that. There are Democratic senators now who like the filibuster power since it gives them power, even when it blocks Democratic legislation. It isn't just about being in the minority. They were in the minority a few years back. They didn't use the filibuster that much to really check Republican power. The reforms here wouldn't have even ended it.
Joe: They were in the minority a few years back. They didn't use the filibuster that much to really check Republican power.
Clinton was their president even though he shrank government after 1994 and Bush was expanding government for the first time in a generation. There was little for the Senate Democrats to oppose.
If the voters lend the Senate and the White House back to the GOP and the Republicans attempt to even slow the growth of entitlements, the Democrats will use the filibuster in a heartbeat.
This is a real possibility. Kerry's ego-centric move to Sec. of State might mean a GOP pick up by Brown in Massachusets. More importantly, the Dems gun control talk and measures is likely to go very badly for them in contests such as North Carolina, Colorado, West Virginia and South Dakota. The party is going to be branded as anti-2nd Amendment, and in off-Presidential elections that is very bad.Post a Comment
