Texas prepares for court over voter ID law
WASHINGTON — Texas is preparing for a legal showdown next month in federal court over a new voter photo ID law passed by the Legislature.
The law was blocked by the Justice Department over claims that it discriminates against minority voters.
"We objected to a photo ID requirement in Texas because it would have had a disproportionate impact on Hispanic voters," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder explained to a conference of black clergy in a speech about the continued need of protections under the Voting Rights Act.
Despite legal maneuvering by Texas and Justice Department lawyers, a three-judge U.S. District Court panel has cleared the docket for a July 9 trial. And it remains questionable whether the new law can be implemented in Texas by the November general election.
Texas joins South Carolina as states that have filed lawsuits challenging the Justice Department's rejection of voter ID laws.
The states claim that the Obama administration is overreaching in its opposition to voter ID laws, which have been found to be constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Texas should not be treated differently and must have the same authority as other states to protect the integrity of our elections," Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said.
Minority-rights groups have sided with the Justice Department, saying the Texas law, which requires a valid photo ID, is aimed at suppressing voting by African Americans, Hispanics and other minorities.
Holder said a similar law in South Carolina was blocked by the Justice Department because it would have placed an unfair burden on nonwhite voters.
In both cases, the Justice Department blocked the laws by not granting a clearance under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires states, most of them in the South, with a historical pattern of discrimination to "preclear" changes in voting laws or political lines.
"The past two years have brought nearly two dozen new state laws and executive orders, from more than a dozen states, that could make it significantly harder for eligible voters to cast ballots in 2012," Holder said.
Texas, like several states, is challenging the Justice Department's authority to deny preclearance.
In documents filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Abbott has questioned whether Section 5 remains applicable.
If a decision by a three-judge federal panel on a motion challenging Section 5 goes against Texas, it is expected that the state will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene.
A challenge to Section 5 by Alabama was upheld last month by the District of Columbia Circuit Court.
In that decision, U.S. Appeals Court Judge David Tatel wrote that Congress acted accordingly with the Voting Rights Act to end racial discrimination in voting, which he called "one of the greatest evils."
Tatel is a member of the three-judge panel hearing the Texas voter photo ID case.
Justice Department lawyer Elizabeth Westfall told the panel this year that the case could not be resolved in time for Texas elections because of the time needed for depositions and gathering of other data.
Texas sought to block the Justice Department from deposing legislators who wrote the law.
The judicial panel sternly told Justice Department lawyers to work toward a quick resolution and ordered Texas lawyers to stop tactics that the panel said were designed to delay the case.
Under the Texas law, a voter must have an ID with a photo issued by the military or the state. A concealed gun permit will suffice, but not an identification card from a university or college.
Texas Republicans passed the law last year, citing the need to protect against voter fraud.
Minority groups claim the new law would discriminate and make it harder for minorities, the elderly, the disabled and others to travel to get valid IDs to vote.
The National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks voter ID laws, reported that there is little evidence to bolster either claims of voter fraud or discrimination.
Republican lawmakers note that voter ID laws passed by Indiana and Georgia in 2003 have remained on the books without successful legal challenge.
"The Texas proposal was based on a similar law passed by the Indiana Legislature, which was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2008," said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
"The administration's actions aren't just wrong, they are arrogant, undemocratic and an insult to the rule of law," Smith said.
Nine lawsuits, including one by Texas, have been filed in the past two years challenging the constitutionality of Section 5 authority to preclear changes to voting laws and procedures, according to the Justice Department.
Those lawsuits claim that electoral equality has been achieved in states, including Texas.
Holder said that in reality, "both overt and subtle forms of discrimination remain all too common."
Minority groups in South Texas have sided with the Justice Department in its support of Section 5 preclearance to prevent racial discrimination of African American and Hispanic voters.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, said that while the state has made headway on electoral equality, more needs to be done to prevent discrimination.
"When they talk about racism," Cuellar said, "there are still problems out there."

Apple looks like it's taking a roughly $68 million stock-option gamble on Angela Ahrendts, betting its new retail chief will do for the iPhone maker what she did for an aging British icon.
Why such a high price for Ahrendts? The former Burberry chief executive officer ran the show at the globally recognized British brand from 2007 until her departure for Apple. During her tenure, sales doubled and the stock price tripled as she moved the brand upscale. The Indiana native and Ball State University alumna has received accolades for her business acumen and her success with such labels as Liz Claiborne and Donna Karan. She ranked 53rd on Forbes's 2013 list of the most powerful women in the world.
A regulatory filing late Monday revealed Ahrendts has received 113,334 restricted stock units, in what's being viewed as a signing bonus for the 53-year-old (she's a handful of months older than Apple CEO Tim Cook, for those reading the succession tea leaves), who officially rolled up her sleeves last week. At today's prices, and with Apple's stock closing at $600.96 on Monday, that chunk of stock could be worth up to $68 million.
As for restrictions, the first tranche of shares will vest on June 1, 2014, and the rest are spread out over three additional tranches vesting by June 14, 2018. To get the full payout, then, Ahrendts will need to stick around beyond mid-2018. If it looks like Apple is splashing out here, blogger 9to5mac.com notes that predecessor John Bowett, who was pushed out last October, got 100,000 shares when he joined, equal to a $61 million payout at the time. He made it through the first vesting of 5,000 shares, worth $3 million.
Ahrendts may be shaking things up quickly. 9to5mac.com separately claims that Apple is planning to hold an "enormous" iPhone-related event in its stores this week, to give sales a boost. Citing unnamed sources, the blogger said it will feature upgrades of iPhone models.
Apple's high hopes for its new retail chief are based on the magic Ahrendts wove at Burberry. As the New Yorker put it recently, one of her tasks is to make wearable technology chic -- "more Burberry, less Borg." But the golden-hello path doesn't always work out perfectly, with Apple bumbling in this retail slot in the past. The company is also under some pressure from investors who want to see new ideas and reasons to keep pushing the stock higher.
Citing data from GMI Ratings, Bloomberg reported last fall that the number of companies paying upfront for top executives jumped to more than 70 in 2013 from 41 in 2012. The report also noted that J.C. Penney and Hewlett-Packard shares both fell under the short-lived tenures, respectively, of Ron Johnson, who got $52.7 million in shares, and Leo Apotheker, who got $34.7 million in cash and stock for less than a year's work.
While Ahrendts was said to be one of the highest-paid executives in the U.K., in the U.S. female executives are still behind men when it comes to pay. Data compiled by Bloomberg last year showed that, of the five best-paid executives at each of the S&P 500–listed companies, just 8% were women. Plus, the data found the women earning around 18% less than men.
Signing bonuses are a fact of life in some arenas. In the NFL, which is nearing the first round of draft picks on Thursday, there have been some hefty dollars paid out to secure players. Check out this rundown. In July 2012, Drew Brees signed a five-year $100 million contract extension with the New Orleans Saints that included a $37 million signing bonus, while the contract extension last summer for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers included a $35 million signing bonus.
Apples and oranges, maybe.

Extra-inning torture
But winning torture! That's the big one right there. The Giants, despite the empirical success of July (score 5+ runs per game, go 20-8), seem convinced that scoring runs is highly overrated. "Runs, schmuns," they say, causing this boy no end of torture. And now they decide to take a page from The Big Book of Padre by having their bullpen toss 5-1/3 scoreless innings! I didn't think that kind of improbability could get distributed around, you know? I figured the Padres had the corner on the Defying Baseball Odds, Common-sense & Logic market, and weren't going to share. Maybe they just forgot to yell "Corner on Improbables!" and so the trading Pit is still open.
You can play Big Ball, Little Ball, Medium Ball, Ugly Ball, Pretty Ball, or Goddamn Fookin' Weird Ball, but whatever you play, play Fookin' Goddamn WINNING Ball!
p.s. That bobblehead does not look like Jerry Garcia. More like Moishe, The Singing Rabbi (what, you didn't see that movie?). And I had to turn the sound off during the broadcast when Bill "I'm still a goddamn annoying motor mouth" Walton was in the booth.

I liked it when Jon asked Flem what his favorite Dead song was. His response, "Ummm...there are so many to choose from." Jon asked him if he followed the Dead on tour. Flem mentioned that he was unable to, being only 7 at the time. I think he was guessing that the Dead were at the height of their popularity in the 1980's. Baseball fandom is like Grateful Dead fandom in at least one way. You can go to a Giants game or a Dead concert and say that you have been to one, however, the experience changes signficantly from game to game, show to show. And with that segue, the Giants still played pretty poorly last night, but the Cubs are so busy self-destructing that they won anyway. Winning is good, might give 'em some ideas for tonight and then some mojo for the weekend, not unlike a steam locomotive rollin' down the track.

I only saw The Dead once, at Kezar Stadium circa '72. The opening act was New Riders of the Purple Sage. I sat on the field and all around me people were smoking pot but no one ever offered me any. The sun was out and I hadn't prepared for that, so I got one of the worst sunburns in my life. By the time the Dead took the stage I was in agony and I couldn't stay for very long. So I might have enjoyed it if I were stoned and/or not in pain.

I agree with Zo in that the real story of last night was the continuing death of the cubbies. They have lost 11 of 12! Total disaster season; which means the cubs are pretty much like the aforementioned steam locomotive...GOOOONNNNNEEE, and nothin's gonna bring 'em back.
Doesn't Jerry look like a big rabbi? Which Jerry, anyway? Like Elvis, I picture Jerry several different ways.
Also, Bro: Many Deadheads consider the shows in '72 to be some of the the best ever. So, you probably saw an incredible show.

In the past weeks and months, we've heard from numerous players about the pending lockout. They've all been on message, like good union members ought to be. But we've heard very little from the owners, who have been content to let the Commissioner and the lawyers give the public statements. This might be PR strategy, or it might shed light on the fact that the owners aren't all in complete agreement on what ought to be in a new CBA.
The notion was raised by, of all people, Baltimore's Derrick Mason. In an interview on local radio, he had this to say:
I think all the owners are not on the same page here. You've got to understand, the Jerry Joneses of the world feel they should be making more because they're bringing in more bucks. But then there's some other owners that aren't bringing in a whole lot because of where they are geographically that probably say you know what, I like the current system because we all get to share the money. So I don't think they're all on the same page.
The stumbling block? Money, of course. It's no secret that the owners are unhappy with the expiring CBA, and are the ones pushing for changes. But one of the aspects that's guaranteed to change is the alteration or complete elimination of the supplemental revenue sharing model that was put into place in 2006. It's not an enormous pool: in its final incarnation, nine lower-revenue teams received eight figures apiece. But it's on top of a much larger revenue sharing agreement (we're talking billions) that's unique in professional sports.
The gap between the haves and have-nots is slim in the NFL compared to other sports, where the majority of revenues often come from regional sports networks (the Mets, hemorrhaging money, made $120 million from SNY last season, and the network is valued higher than the team). In football, every game is national, every TV contract is worked out with the league rather than the teams, and is divided among them all. Even if Jacksonville never plays a Monday night game, they see the proceeds of ESPN's deal.
But even if that revenue gap is slim in comparison, it's there. And teams like the Cowboys or Steelers or Giants who can print their own money with PSLs and merchandising can't be too pleased with having to subsidize the Jaguars. So not only will the owners have to come to an agreement on how much to share with the players (and they're reportedly $750 million apart), but they'll have to decide how much to share with each other. That's not a gimme, and could color the negotiations and final CBA language.
Therein lies the true talent of David Stern, and for that matter Bud Selig: getting 30-plus owners, with overlapping yet distinct goals, to speak as one. It's something Roger Goodell hasn't quite mastered, and it remains to be seen if that fracture plays a role in a labor war that's supposed to be about solidarity.

The government claims New Zealand will benefit from millions of dollars in extra trade which will grow our economy and make us richer.On this point the government is right in the sense that trade will increase the average national income. That means, there will be winners and losers from trade but the winners win more than the losers lose. Hence on average we gain. Another way to look at this result is that the winners can compensate the losers and still be better off.
Minto goes on to note that
Back in the late 1980s New Zealand enjoyed a trade surplus with China. We exported more than we imported.Enjoyed? He goes on
This reversed dramatically when import tariffs were removed or phased out. There was a flood of cheap imports from China which turned the trade surplus into a billion-dollar deficitWhy would we care about a trade surplus (deficit) with anyone? Mr Minto has a trade deficit with his supermarket I'm sure, but does he care? Does he lie awake at night trying to work out ways to "fix" his deficit with the supermarket? If not, why does he worry about a deficit with China? This imports bad, exports good line of thinking is little more than mercantilism. One must ask why the mercantilist myth is still alive today. After all Adam Smith showed the errors inherent in mercantilist thinking more than 200 years ago. Is Minto really that far behind the times?
Later Minto tells us that
The Ministry of Economic Development has estimated 16 jobs are lost for every $1 million of imported products we could make here.A meaningless number if every there was one. To follow this "logic", does it mean that the South Island loses 16 jobs for every $1 million of products imported from the North Island? If so then the South should stop trading with the North. But would this really help the South?
It should be pointed out to Mr Minto that the effect of trade on the total number of jobs in an economy is approximately zero. As Paul Krugman has written,
Constant employment is a reasonable approximation: The standard textbook version of the Ricardian model assumes full employment in both countries. But in reality unemployment is constantly a concern of economic policy -- so why is this the usual assumption? There are two answers. One -- the answer that Ricardo would have given -- is that international trade is a long-run issue, and that in the long run the economy has a natural self-correcting tendency to return to full employment. The other, more modern answer is that countries have central banks, which try to stabilize employment around the NAIRU; so that it makes sense to think of the Federal Reserve and its counterparts acting in the background to hold employment constant. This is not at all the way that non-economists think about the issue. Both supporters and opponents of free trade normally claim that their preferred policies will create jobs; free-traders are forever warning that the Smoot-Hawley tariff caused the Great Depression. And the alternative view does not come at all naturally. During the NAFTA debates I shared a podium with an experienced, highly regarded U.S. trade negotiator, a strong NAFTA suppporter. At one point a member of the audience asked me what I thought the effect of NAFTA would be on the number of jobs in the United States; when I replied "none", based on the standard arguments, the trade official exploded in anger: "It's remarks like that which explain why people hate economists!"Trade will move jobs around an economy but has little effect on the total number of them.
It should also be noted that in a similar way jobs could be created by stopping the use of modern technology. Just imagine how many more jobs there would be in New Zealand in the production of radios, or any good for that matter, if only manufacturers would destroy all of their computers and other technology and replace assembly line production with handicraft manufacturing! Trade displaces (and creates) jobs in the same way as technology does. So if you don't want trade, you also don't want technology improvements.
Professor of Economics at George Mason University, Russell Roberts, makes these points in the context of NAFTA in this blog posting
The most well-known think tank that views NAFTA negatively, the Economic Policy Institute, argues that between 1993 and 2004, Ohio lost 49,886 jobs because of NAFTA.May be the MED should be looking into the number of jobs lost due to the use of technology which has made New Zealand's workers more productive.
Not 50,000, but 49,886.
For the U.S. as a whole, EPI estimates that 1,015,290 jobs have been lost. Not a million, but 1,015,290.
But it's not just the precision of the estimate that makes the calculation ridiculous. It's the methodology that measures jobs displaced (the verb the EPI study usually uses) by assuming that imports destroy jobs and exports create jobs. With this methodology, a trade deficit reduces the number of jobs.
By this logic, America would have fewer jobs if foreigners suddenly decided to give us cars rather than selling them to us. Free foreign cars would destroy jobs in the American car industry. Inexpensive foreign cars do the same thing. So do cars made by Americans that are produced with robots instead of human welders. If you believe that imports destroy American jobs, so does better technology that makes workers more productive.
If the EPI was as anti-technology as they are anti-trade deficit, they could go out and measure the number of buggy manufacturing jobs destroyed by the auto industry and the number of eyeglass manufacturing jobs destroyed by lasik surgery or the number of jobs in the medical profession destroyed by pharmaceutical innovation. Surely those numbers could be estimated with some rough accuracy.
And surely they would tell us nothing about whether the world is a better place because of those innovations. And they would tell us nothing about the impact of those innovations on total employment.
But most of us understand that higher productivity doesn't mean fewer jobs in the United States overall. There are two ways to see it. One is to see the increase in the total number of jobs over time as we have replaced people with machines in every corner of the economy where it's possible. So this suggests that technology doesn't destroy jobs.
The same is true of the apparent effect of trade deficits. Manufacturing employment was shrinking as a share of the total employment between 1950 and 1975 when the trade deficit was essentially zero. We run a trade surplus in agriculture. Yet agricultural employment shrinks rather than rises.
There appears to be no relationship between the number of jobs in America (or in Ohio for that matter) and the trade deficit or increased productivity.
Minto then says
Is it free trade when New Zealand workers are expected to compete with workers paid less than $1 an hour for 16-hour days?The short answer being yes. It doesn't matter what the difference in wages is as long as the difference in productivity is greater. So long as the New Zealand-China productivity difference is greater than the New Zealand-China wage difference New Zealand workers can, and will, compete.
Mr Minto should enrol in a first year economics course, he would learn much. But he would then have to buy the textbook ... and that is most likely to be imported.
Update: Not PC makes the point that Even free-ish trade is a good thing
Update 2: Kiwiblog outlines the China FTA Details and adds a Well done Helen & Phil.

English Teacher
I`m a teacher of English at a secondary school. I am not a native speaker. There are some texts in students` books that should be read to students to improve their listening skills, but there are no CDs to these texts. Could anyone read and record them for me? I`d be glad if a native speaker with a British accent help me. Thank you in advance.
I: And heres some adviceto school students from a career guide. Were now going to talk with JennyOgden, who works in the Career Advice Service. My first question to Jenny wouldbe: How important is it to choose a right career?
CG: Choosing a career is probably one of the most difficultthings in the world. You want to be doing something that you love for the restof your life. If you choose the wrong career, you might probably end up in adead end job which you hate and which results in a miserable life.
I: What would you startwith if you were to choose a job?
CG: The first step would be to create a list of things that youlike to do. For example, you can list down your hobbies or interests that youhave been doing or would like to know about doing. For the list of hobbies orinterests, you can put something like I am good with numbers, I am a naturelover, I am a technology enthusiast, I love to sing, I enjoy cooking,cars, etc. You might also think back to your childhood. Your early years mightbe the best place to start. Assess your abilities.What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What kind of skills do youhave? You can try to come up with something that you are good at doingsuch as cooking or public speaking. If you have trouble coming up with ideas,take some time to rest or walk in the park. While relaxing yourself, you maythink of something like, Im good at pet sitting or I make deliciouscookies. Write down these ideas onto a piece of paper.
I: Well, what would thenext step be?
CG: When you have the list of ideas that you like to bedoing, try to brainstorm several jobs that might be related to food. Forexample, chefs, cooks, food specialists, kitchen helpers or even chemists areall professions that are related to cooking and food. If you wanted to be thepresident of your country as a child, you could look for government jobs orsocial sector careers. The possibilities are endless. For instance, if you everdreamed of becoming a movie star and walking down the red carpet, check out acareer in media, the entertainment industry or public relations.
I: How relevant is schoolexperience in choosing a career?
CG: Extremely relevant! You canbegin by looking at the courses you are taking in high school. What are yourbest subjects? What kinds of extracurricular activities do you participate in?What kinds of things did you learn from part-time or summer jobs? Theremust be at least one class that stands out above the rest. If you love history,art or archaeology, check out a museum job. There are more options out therethan you may think even if you dont want to take tour groups around amuseum, you could work on their marketing or manage the museums finances. Ifhistory wasnt your thing, maybe your favourite course was in psychology. Ortry thinking about jobs with some elements of the psychology field. You mayfind that you are a people person or enjoy helping others, so jobs in customerservice, sales or teaching may be the answer to your happiness. By going onestep further and thinking about why you have a passion for genetics orsociological theory, you will be able to find a career that suits yourinterests.
I: So youve got a list ofjobs. What do you do then?
CG: Now, assess these professions. You can gather informationsuch as job descriptions, salary, education requirements, necessary experience,work related hazards, etc. Moreover, you can interview others who are alreadyin the professions and visit the library for additional resources as well assearching the internet for relevant information. Think what is important foryou in a job: helping society, working underpressure, group affiliation, stability, security, status, working alone or withgroups, having a positive impact on others, and many others. Doing all these will put you in a much betterposition for choosing your future careers.
I: If you were choosing ajob, would you do a career assessment test?
CG: You can try some of the free career assessment tests.Career assessment test is one of the popular methods of giving you an idea ofwhat you are good at and what you like to do when it comes to choosing acareer. If you have the money, seek a careers coach or guide for ideas. Theseprofessionals are experts in career assessment. They are able to point you in theright careers direction after assessing key areas which you are good at. Youcan also get free advice from parents, teachers, friends or relatives. Butremember that parents opinions are sometimes biased. Most of the time, parentswould say the financial aspect is very important when it comes to choosing acareer. As a result, the careers that they prefer might not be the one that fityou the best. Keep in mind that simply choosing a career because it pays wellwill not make you happy.
I: Are there any otheroptions?
CG: You can apply for a summer job in a company thatspecializes in the area of your interest. This job may later become a temporaryposition which will give you added experience. And dont forget to do thereality check. Do you really want to be a doctor, butdont have enough skills in science? Do you have a strong interest in the arts,but your family members want you to follow in your fathers footsteps? It isimportant to face these problems and be realistic about whether you can solve them.
I: So, choosing a careeris a hard task that a lot of people have difficulty in doing. It takes time todetermine the career that matches your interest. Simply choosing a career thatpays the most wont keep you happy. Thank you, Jenny. Im sure our listenerswill follow your advice.
CG: Youre welcome. I wish I were able to help everyone tochoose a right career, but a lot depends upon you as well. Listen to yourselfand work hard to achieve your goals. Good luck!

NASD Fines David Lerner Associates $115,000 For Misleading Advertising and Communications With The Public
Washington, DC — NASD today announced that it has fined David Lerner Associates, Inc. (DLA) of Syosset, New York $115,000 for misleading marketing materials - including radio advertising, client seminars and other communications with the public. The firm was also ordered not to conduct any public seminar for 30 days. For six months, the firm must pre-file all sales literature and advertisements with NASD's Advertising Regulation Department at least 10 days prior to their first use.
Also sanctioned in today's action were David Lerner, the firm's President; John Dempsey, the firm's Senior Vice President of Sales, and SSH Securities, Inc., an affiliate of DLA. Lerner and Dempsey are each being fined $25,000. Dempsey is being suspended from serving in a principal or supervisory capacity with any registered firm for 30 days. SSH Securities, Inc. will pay a fine of $10,000 for preparing inaccurate fact sheets distributed by DLA to promote a proprietary family of mutual funds.
"To protect investors, and to help them make the best and most appropriate investment decisions, NASD rules require firms to use accurate, fair and balanced communications when marketing their products and services," said Barry Goldsmith, NASD Executive Vice President and Head of Enforcement. "David Lerner Associates violated those rules by making statements that investors would naturally be expected to rely upon, that were widely disseminated through the media, but which were exaggerated, misleading and unsupported by the facts."
In a September 2004 complaint, NASD charged the firm and David Lerner with using 11 radio advertisements and other communications between May 2001 and May 2003 that contained numerous statements and claims that were misleading, exaggerated or unwarranted. The firm advertised heavily on New York metropolitan area radio stations with 60-second spots that ran several days a week, frequently throughout the day. DLA spent significant amounts of money on radio ads -- $2.3 million during the review period, which represented 71 percent of its total marketing expenditures. As the spokesman for the firm, David Lerner narrated all of the ads.
A recurring theme of the radio advertisements was the concept of "providing returns of 10 percent and more" to "tens of thousands" of customers. For example, one advertisement stated: "For 25 years, we at David Lerner Associates have provided tens of thousands of people with investments that, even in these turbulent times, continue to pay over 10%." Another stated: "We are currently providing returns of 10 percent and more in investments that have nothing to do with the stock market." NASD charged that these and other statements, which the firm could not support, were exaggerated, unwarranted or misleading.
The firm's advertisements also suggested that individuals who invested with DLA would retain the value of their assets regardless of market conditions, or would regain prior losses sustained in the stock market downturn in 2000. For instance, one advertisement stated, "While past performance can never be a guarantee of future results, we at David Lerner Associates are proud and pleased that for 26 years, tens of thousands of our investors have been receiving high income and solid returns regardless of whether interest rates or the stock market went up or down." Another advertisement stated, "By counseling them to select value-oriented investments, our clients have not only weathered the financial storm, they have actually seen their income grow and their assets more than hold their value." NASD alleged that these and other statements were exaggerated or misleading and were improperly promissory.
Like radio advertising, investment seminars were also important to the firm's marketing efforts. During the relevant period, the firm conducted approximately 70 to 80 seminars for the public, with Lerner appearing as the principal speaker at each seminar. As with the radio ads, the firm did not have factual support for many of the claims and also failed to disclose material information.
Finally, SSH Securities prepared and DLA distributed fact sheets concerning DLA's proprietary Spirit of America mutual funds, which NASD charged contained inaccurate information. NASD charged Dempsey, the principal of DLA responsible for approving advertisements, with failing to discharge his supervisory responsibilities.
Without admitting or denying the allegations, the firms and individuals consented to NASD's findings of advertising and supervisory failures and agreed to the imposed sanctions.

More than 300 shoppers lined up on a blustery Friday morning for the opening of the Trader Joe's grocery store in Salt Lake City, its first outlet in Utah.
As shoppers rushed to pick up bargains, the Drum Labs Steel Band from Pleasant Grove played calypso music, adding to the festivities amid the Southern California grocery chain's high-seas décor.
Store employees, dubbed crew members, gave out several hundred of leis to shoppers.
The store, featuring organic, one-of-a-kind specialty foods, is at 634 E. 400 South (inside The Family Center at East Downtown).
Marilyn Sorensen of West Jordan lined up at 6:30 a.m. to become one of the first shoppers to walk through a happy gauntlet of cheering employees. For the past year, Sorensen has been among 3,500 Utahns posting invitations on a Facebook page in an effort to convince Trader Joe's to come to Utah. The state's first Trader Joe's comes 54 years after its founding in Los Angeles.
"Trader Joe's is everything a good company should be," Sorenson said. "They have great products, great customer service and they treat their employees well."
It was Joe-Joe's cocoa cookies, filled with peppermint and crushed candy canes, that drew John Poelman of Salt Lake City to the opening.
"The cookies only come out once a year," said Poelman. "I shopped at Trader Joe's in Washington, D.C., so when I came to Utah, I missed the store a lot."
Inside the store, shoppers found Trader Joe's signature interior designs, mixing cedar-covered walls, Hawaiian-inspired elements and some local flair, including hand-painted murals paying homage to the area. Images featured the University of Utah stadium, downtown Salt Lake City and Arches National Park.
About 80 percent of store employees are from the Salt Lake Valley. And the store manager, known as captain, is Rory Violette who moved from Arizona but counts himself as a true Aggie.
Violette fondly recalls attending Utah State University, where he embraced the nearly century-old tradition of kissing a girl under a full moon at midnight while sitting atop the school's carved A block.
"It's great to be in Utah," said Violette, as shoppers rushed past. "There are a lot of foodies here."
The store stocks an array of domestic and imported foods, beverages (including beer, but no wine), fresh-baked artisan breads, Arabica bean coffees, international frozen entrees, fresh-crop nuts, deli items, vitamins, supplements and basics such as milk and eggs.
The chain, with more than 380 stores in 35 states, purchases from manufacturers, taking out preservatives and artificial colors. It then puts products under the Trader Joe's label.
The store introduces a dozen new items every week. Many shoppers will also get a copy of Trader Joe's "Fearless Flyer" in their mailboxes, with irreverent descriptions of selected products, including comfort foods and items that are organic or have other special attributes.
Trader Joe's
Located • 634 E. 400 South, Salt Lake City
Hours • 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Sunday
Groceries • Domestic and imported foods, beverages and fresh-baked artisan breads

WALTHAM, Mass. – Bridgewater State University junior 2B Sean Riley (Fairhaven, Mass./Fairhaven) had a career game today to lead the visiting Bears' baseball team past host Brandeis University, 19-4, in the Judges' home opener on Stein Diamond today. With the loss, Brandeis falls to 5-11 on the season, while BSU evens their record at 7-7.
Riley, batting lead-off, reached base five of his six plate appearances, going 4-for-5 with a walk. He scored five runs and drove in another six, stroking two doubles – his team-leading eighth and ninth of the season – while also hitting his first home run of the campaign.
Classmate 1B David Pierce (E. Bridgewater, Mass./E. Bridgewater) also had a terrific game out of the second slot in the order, going 2-for-5 with a walk, a triple, five RBI and three runs scored. In all, 10 different BSU players had hits, with five registering at least two. Bridgewater State batted around in three different innings, scoring nine times in the first and four each in the second and sixth innings. The visitors finished with 18 hits.
Eleven different Brandeis hitters managed 13 hits against Bridgewater State junior starter Bryant Warner (Harwich, Mass./Harwich), but the Judges were unable to put anything across the plate until seventh. Warner avoided trouble by issuing just one walk over his eight innings of work while striking out eight, including some big Ks with runners in scoring position. He evened his record at 1-1.
The Judges' first run came on a Joe Galli (Wakefield, Mass./Wakefield Memorial) RBI single in the seventh. In the eighth, they got an RBI single by sophomore 1B Pat Seaward (York, Maine/York), the second hit and first RBI of his career, a bases-loaded HBP by rookie pinch hitter Zach Bardwell (No. Andover, Mass./Central Catholic) and a ground-out by Galli. Brandeis's multiple hitters were junior RF Dylan Britton (Poughquag, N.Y./Arlington) and sophomore SS Dom Schwartz (San Francisco, Calif./Lowell). Rookie DH Dan Gad (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield) had the team's only extra-base hit, a double in the seventh that preceded Galli's single, allowing him to score the Judges' first run. Brandeis sophomore Colin Markel (Scarsdale, N.Y./Scarsdale) suffered the loss to fall to 1-1 on the season.
Brandeis will have a chance to get back on the horse tomorrow at 3 p.m. when they take on Wentworth Institute of Technology at 3 p.m. BSU hosts Suffolk University Thursday at 3 p.m.

Christophe Muilee, November 11th , 2018.
Another configuration for seating in view of the focal point uses symmetry, such as with two sets of comfortable chairs or sofas at the walls to the left and right of the wall with the television. Side tables or a central coffee table should rest in between. Depending on your budget and the size of your space, your design options may include built-in features like window seats or bookcases on either side of your focal point. But even those with minimal budgets can use good arrangement and placement of furnishings to create a stylish living room
Use the room's focal point such as a TV or fireplace, to orient a room's furnishings. Arrange seating around the focal point in a way that provides a clear view for all seating options, but also allows people to interact with one another. Keep table surfaces nearby for placing drinks, refreshments, books, or TV remotes within reach. Arranging seating in a half circle around a coffee table that faces the wall with the TV is more intimate and user-friendly than pushing couches and chairs back against opposite walls from the focal point.

Talk:Installation guide
- 1 Read this first before add new suggestion
- 2 GRUB2 Installation
- 3 GRUB install failure
- 4 Link Elinks to wiki
- 5 Mention the other config files
- 6 Change section "Connect to the internet"
- 7 Suggestions to update this guide as part of ISO
- 8 Keymaps
- 9 add a step: setting the clock
- 10 pacman-key --init / populate?
- 11 Link to UEFI Bootloaders page
- 12 Styling
- 13 Proposed changes to Beginners' Guide and link to Post-Installation
- 14 locale warning when running mkinitcpio
- 15 "Configure the network" is missing
- 16 Install a bootloader
Read this first before add new suggestion
- Point of this page is to not become another Beginner's guide. It's meant to be a concise checklist of things to be done. So detailed install instruction should go to Beginners' Guide.
- If anyone wants to discuss/add something, then do it on Talk:Beginners'_Guide/Installation. An advanced user will find this page less bloated and easier to read, so let's KISS.
GRUB2 Installation
I moved GRUB2 installation after chroot. Otherwise it doesn't work. grub-bios is in /mnt, so we need to tell grub-install about it. But arch iso has grub 0.97, and installation - 2.00, so iso's grub doesn't understand installation's files. --Shuk (talk) 11:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
to install grub-bios: install guide say:
Configure the bootloader: refer back to the appropriate article from the bootloader installation section.
at Installation_Guide#Configure_system
At this point I did:
grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg
grub-install /dev/sda
I suggest to add a tip to follow instructions in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub2#Install_to_440-byte_MBR_boot_code_region - I must do it at every installation --Loper
GRUB install failure
This doesn't work for me.
It looks so similar to the Beginners' Guide as to be almost redundant, but the first subtle difference I came across meant (for me) that this procedure failed where the Beginners' Guide succeeded.
Under "GRUB" you have:
"Install GRUB2 to the harddrive containing your boot partition before you chroot."
# grub-install /dev/sda
doing so returns:
"Path /boot/grub is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting."
In the Beginners' Guide, this step takes place after chrooting, which (for me) works ok, (although the wording - "Install GRUB2 to the harddrive containing your boot partition before you chroot" - is the same, so I guess both wiki entries are at fault). --bananabrain
Link Elinks to wiki
Just read that elinks is included on install iso, maybe add an alias/script to allow loading of wiki guide installation guide? --Mr Green
Mention the other config files
The old installation guide said something about editing the other config files:
- /etc/rc.conf
- /etc/fstab
- /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
- /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
- /etc/resolv.conf
- /etc/hosts
- /etc/locale.gen
- /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
- /etc/pacman.conf
- /etc/crypttab
This guide does not even mention
/etc/rc.conf which is one of the central config files of archlinux. That should be added. --PMay (talk)
- Well I saw this: Beginners'_Guide#Configure_system so
/etc/rc.confisnot the official way to configure the system anymore... --PMay (talk)
- True, but some clarification somewhere about exactly which bits of rc.conf are still necessary and which have been superceded (and by what) would be useful. So far it seems like just the first six lines of the LOCALIZATION section and the HOSTNAME line from the networking section. I'm still slightly in the dark here, but getting there. --bananabrain
- Regarding rc.conf, a lot of information has been added to its man page. I'm not sure how well aligned the man page and wiki page for it are, might need some updating. In any case you don't need to change anything in rc.conf for a basic install, so anything regarding that should go into the Beginners' Guide. --Emiralle (talk) 16:59, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- True, but some clarification somewhere about exactly which bits of rc.conf are still necessary and which have been superceded (and by what) would be useful. So far it seems like just the first six lines of the LOCALIZATION section and the HOSTNAME line from the networking section. I'm still slightly in the dark here, but getting there. --bananabrain
- The rc.conf page will need quite a bit of updating once initscripts >= 2012.07.5-1 moves to [core].
- -- Jstjohn (talk) 17:06, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
Change section "Connect to the internet"
Since the installation guide is now part of the iso image, I'd like to see a few references to the manpages of the necessary tools here, since you cannot open the network related wiki pages. Maybe something like this would be acceptable:
Assuming a wired ethernet connection, running dhclient or dhcpcd is sufficient to get a lease. Otherwise set up the connection manually using ip add, wpa_supplicant (WLAN with WPA), pppoe-setup (DSL), etc. You can also create and use netcfg profiles. Read more in the manpages: ip(8), wpa_supplicant(8), pppoe(8), netcfg(8), netcfg-profiles(5)
A reminder to install the packages for the internet connection in the pacstrap section would also be nice. -- progandy
Suggestions to update this guide as part of ISO
Since this guide is now being included as 'install.txt' in the ISO, it might be beneficial to incorporate the following changes:
- Entirely remove the 1. Download section and move it to the Download area of the archlinux.org page. This document here is about installing, not downloading, checking, burning discs or dd'ing. The majority of users reading this have likely already booted up the install medium.
- Begin or end the document by mentioning the new archlinux(7) man page which explains the location of important system configuration files
# man archlinux
- Slightly expand the 6. Connect to the internet section to include the most basic examples of setting up a private network using a dynamic and static IP address. (Right now it's only a single paragraph/line.) It's a vital installation step and should actually be moved to the top as one of the first actions during system setup. This fact should be emphasized.
Obtain dynamic IP
# dhcpcd
Set static IP
# ip link set dev eth0 up # ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0 # ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 # echo "nameserver 22.214.171.124" >> /etc/resolv.conf
- I can agree to all your suggestions, I wonder why no one is modifying the wiki. Internet connection setup is the most important part and should be covered more extensively. In addition to your changes, mention the manpages and configuration templates for netcfg and pppoe-setup/connect. The boot medium must at least contain easy accesible information in order to read all pages referenced in the installation guide. There should also be mentioned that elinks is installed and can be used to access the wiki. --Progandy (talk) 21:50, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
As this guide mentions the loading of keymaps using loadkeys there should be at least a very small example about /etc/vconsole.conf
Either not talk about keymaps or tell how to make it correct. When this is used as a checklist, the setup of the keymap should not be missing.
- The section on keymaps and fonts links only to the KEYMAP page. An additional link regarding setting default console font should be added to:
add a step: setting the clock
Lots of things care about the clock being more-or-less correct, e.g. pacman-key will not work at all if the clock is too far out. Lots of brand new computers come with the clock set to something in the distant past, which causes weird problems during the install. Thetrivialstuff (talk) 23:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
pacman-key --init / populate?
Isn't this a required step? pacstrap does not seem to do it on its own. Thetrivialstuff (talk) 23:15, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Edit: Ah; I think this was related to the "set the clock" step -- I see that there is a pacman keyring init in the boot sequence of the latest media, but it (silently?) fails if the local clock is wrong.

Link to UEFI Bootloaders page
Instead of telling the user to install GRUB(2) alone in case of UEFI, direct the reader to the UEFI_Bootloaders page which provides info about all the UEFI bootloaders capable of booting linux kernel. Also how can I edit the guide, there is no "edit" tab shown on top of the page. Is this page restricted to few authors only? -- Keshav P R (talk) 15:31, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- The "Install a bootloader" section should be a bullet point above "Configure the bootloader: refer back to the appropriate ...", no need to have them separate. Using pacstrap to install the bootloader just seems silly (especially since they were also merged in the Beginner's Guide). Also, commands after
arch-chrootwould look better if they were indented with ": {{bc|# <command>}}", kinda like how
# pacman-key -v <iso-file>.sigis at the beginning of the article. Would look much cleaner. --DSpider (talk) 16:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Proposed changes to Beginners' Guide and link to Post-Installation
Some major changes are under discussion in Talk:Beginners'_Guide#Guide_restructuring: some of them would require adjustments to this very guide, see for example this post.
Please reply in the linked discussion, not here.
-- Kynikos (talk) 12:15, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've added the steps in Beginners' Guide/Post-Installation to this guide, which now directly sends users to Beginners' Guide/Extra.
- If however Talk:Beginners' Guide#Guide restructuring will be implemented as planned, the Beginners' Guide will have a slightly different installation procedure than this guide, unless this one is updated too.
- -- Kynikos (talk) 14:08, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
- The link to Post-Installation was the last step of the guide, so that's the line I've replaced with the instructions from Post-Installation.
- About rebooting in case of a kernel upgrade, I don't think it's necessary to state that since this guide is aimed at experienced users.
- In any case, any reordering or modification of the various steps should better be approved by a Developer, and probably the forum or the mailing lists are better places than this talk page to involve them in such discussions.
- -- Kynikos (talk) 14:59, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, but at this point, you were instructed to reboot. In order to edit
pacman.conf, you need to mount the root partition. And to update your system, you need to chroot into it. It would be better if "Unmount leftovers" was renamed "Unmount leftovers and reboot", and added at the end (before the suggestion to read the instructions from Extra). --DSpider (talk) 15:07, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, but at this point, you were instructed to reboot. In order to edit
- You are still instructed to reboot, aren't you? The "Unmount leftovers" section currently tells you to "reboot and then login into the new system with the root account". In the "new system", the correct partition is already mounted at /.
- Whether or not configuring pacman, updating the system and adding a user would be better done in the chroot before rebooting, it's something that should be discussed with a Developer. I too think that it would make more sense, requiring one less reboot in case of a kernel upgrade.
- -- Kynikos (talk) 15:18, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
- Renaming "Unmount leftovers" to "Unmount leftovers and reboot" is safe anyway, so I've done that. -- Kynikos (talk) 15:37, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
- @DSpider: you're quite active on the forum, why don't you propose your idea there? I think it would be interesting to discuss it. -- Kynikos (talk) 14:11, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, after reading this I realize that maybe I haven't been clear enough, so I'll try to explain everything more thoroughly.
- The current procedure makes you configure the system in the chroot environment from the live system.
- Then, still in the live system, it asks you to exit the chroot, unmount the partitions for the new system, reboot and login into the new system. Now, I refuse to write more explicitly in the guide that you should boot into the new system, and not again in the live system, in order to login into the new system.
- Since you are now into the new system (not the live system), the root partition is mounted at
/, not at
/mnt/, so you should be able to configure pacman, update the system and add a user wihtout chrooting. Now, if you've tested the procedure and really noticed that for some obscure-to-me reason you still need to chroot to /mnt in order to do those operations, please ask for clarifications in the forum because I wouldn't be able to answer any more.
- Last thing, and I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I write it, I agree with you that configuring pacman etc. could easily be done in the chroot environment at step 1, but you should propose that change in the forum first, since it would be a change in the official installation procedure and I won't take responsibility for that.
- I think this is the best I can do here, the next step to explain all this could be making a movie or a five-act play, but I hope it's not necessary :)
- -- Kynikos (talk) 05:56, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Reboot at the end instead of near the end
I posted about this above, but it probably got lost in the details. At this point, you are instructed to reboot. In order to edit pacman.conf, you need to mount the root partition. And to update your system, you need to chroot into it and re-establish an internet connection. Please move the "Unmount and reboot" section at the end. Thank you.
By the way, I would do it myself, but I don't have the right privileges (and I've asked for them three times already).
--DSpider (talk) 19:32, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
- Is there the possibility that you overlooked my answers instead? Please re-read the discussion above properly, plus the answer I've added just now. I'm closing this discussion since it's better to keep everything under the same heading. -- Kynikos (talk) 05:58, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
locale warning when running mkinitcpio
Error is "bsdcpio: Failed to set default locale"
Discussion in IRC suggests 3 options:
- Tell user to ignore locale warning from mkinitcpio
- add export LANG=... command to match your locale.conf
- relog (maybe not a good idea because of preparing chroot again)
Velusip (talk) 15:31, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
"Configure the network" is missing
Basically, you establish an internet connection, but you also need to configure the network, so that you can connect after rebooting. The Beginners' Guide mentions it: You need to configure the network again, but this time for your newly installed environment. The procedure and prerequisites are very similar to the one described above, except we are going to make it persistent and automatically run at boot. And this information seems to be missing from the installation guide. --DSpider (talk) 13:51, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think that any Developer is watching this talk page, you'd better report this in the forum or mailing list. -- Kynikos (talk) 10:43, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Patriot Act hype hurting libraries.
An Anonymous Patron writes "I found the following posting at the BookCrossing website. It seems to be a person that is avoiding the library because of the fear of the Patriot Act. Could it be that over hyping the Patriot Act is actually huriting libraries because now the public has the perception that their records can be seized at anytime?"
[At the time of my posting this, the book crossing site was not working, but I thought the question posed here was interesting and hopefully we will be able to access the page soon. - AJK]
Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
There is no good reason to avoid libraries, unless you have something to hide or behaving suspiciously. For example, borrowing books on building bombs or making poison gas.
Essential Liberties? Re:Nothing to hide
Setting up a tent city outside someone's home, clogging up what is nothing but a dirt road and making all the neighbors miserable is an essential liberty? I don't think so. Neither is privacy in a public library.
Mountie Myopia
If you have nothing to hide then why is your government spying on you?
I wonder if your reticence about this not-so-little secret is more the product of an Alternetted education than willingness to suck a sock for your RCMP. You do still have the Lair?
Spying 101: The RCMP's Secret Activities at Canadian Universities, 1917-1997.spying101.com>
Spying 101 provides new insight on the previously secret operations of one of Canada's most powerful institutions and best-known national symbols, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. For more than eighty years, the RCMP and its younger counterpart, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), have been conducting covert investigations within the hallowed halls of Canadian universities in an attempt to discover 'subversive' activity among faculty, employees, and students, and, periodically, to hunt for spies and terrorists.
It hurts
At my library the public computer use was a free for all until about a year ago when we began a sign in system. Now a user presents his card to check out a computer, those visiting can use guest cards (borrower cards assigned to the name "guest" in the system) to check out a computer, that way we don't have to turn non-residents away.
We implemented this system for several reasons:
1) So that we could control how long a patron remains on the computer. Our policy always has been one hour, but now we have a means to verify that and ask people to let another user have a chance if it gets busy (although it seldom gets that busy since people know they are now timed.)
2) It allows us to track from where our patrons are coming. We have a county cooperative, but all the cities manage their own libraries. This way we can tell if we get a lot of patrons from other cities and provide other useful statistics. These will be useful at budget time.
That's it, we don't record where they go, what they do, or what they type; yet some people were reluctant to use the computers because they thought the PATRIOT ACT could make us spy on them. Some people with library cards prefer to use the guest card because they think somehow their Internet usage is tracked. Patrons have remarked that they have read in the news how their library records can be given to the FBI if they drop by and ask for a list of websites they have been visiting.
I have explained to all of the patrons that none of those things can happen, primarily because we don't create nor keep those types of records and the check in procedure is only for statistical and budgetary purposes and almost all of them believe me.
Interestingly, at least once a week I have a patron from a foreign country display their passport or driving license when asking to use a computer. I don't need to see those, and I let them know guest use requires no identification, but since we implemented this system I have seen at least a dozen UK passports, probably 20 licenses from Canada, passports from Morocco, Greece, Poland and Italy. I've used the Internet in libraries and cafes in Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany (all within a week of 9/11), Spain, Mexico and the UK and never been asked for ID. (Personally I have no problem providing it if asked but that is another discussion.)
So it seems to me that the zeal with which perceived diminution of personal liberties caused by the USA PATRIOT Act are reported has caused people to worry about going to the library.
I wish these people would ask a librarian about what really happens and what records exist that could possibly be obtained. I don't know about your library but we don't know what you checked out three months ago. Please ask a librarian; we won't lie to you.
Re:Mountie Myopia
There, there, Tomeboy; nobody expected you to get it.
Nor is anybody but other baby-killers fooled by your petulant American whining. Those of us who are rational know very well that it is you who turns a blind eye to the perfidy of your political partyangelfire.com> while crying so piteously about the same perfidies perpetrated by other political parties. At least I condemn anybody who does that sort of thing regardless of affiliation.
By the by, have you considered Karl Rove's treason recently? Or how Bush flip-flopped on how anybody who committed such an act of treason would be fired?
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
Please - tell that to President "we will bear any burden, pay any price" - as long as I get my 5 week vacation & none of my family serves. And let's not forget that raving liberal Pope John Paul called this an unjust war. Clearly not a guy one can hang the pinko canard on.
The failure of this war effort - regardless of whether we should have engaed in this misguided venture in the first place - lies squarely on the shoulders of the Commander in Chief. Not on the shoulders of some poor mother whose child did derve and who paid the ultimate price for your freedom to sit here a desecrate their names.
If you feel differently - may be you can join the real soldiers and resign from the "101st Fighting Keyboardists" - take the Bush Twins along with you.
On the privacy issues - I'm reminded of when many years ago Congress passed a law making everyone's video rental records private. When they publish theirs' - I'll consider the arguement that my privacy should be violated.
Re:Essential Liberties? Re:Nothing to hide
Firing a gun at annoying but peaceful protestors is an essential liberty? Unworthy even of comment, much less criticism?
Petitioning the government for the redress of grievances is an essential liberty. But, you'll be thrilled to know, Camp Casey is being moved to private property at the invitation of one of our Fearless Leader's other neighbors--thus cutting in half Camp Casey's distance from Bush's toy ranch.
And, yes, Greg, reading without the government looking over your shoulder is an essential liberty, and librarians with any self-respect and professional responsibility should be protect that essential liberty, not lining up for the opportunity to assist in the latest government overreach into our civil liberties--especially when it's an invasion of our liberties that will not in any way make us safer.
Re:Essential Liberties? Re:Nothing to hide
If he was firing at them he would have been arrested. Nothing wrong with a good ole'fashioned warning shot.
If its not blocking the road then that's certainly an improvement.
See now, you say "government looking over your shoulder" while completely ignoring the fact that: 1. the government supplied the library and materials to begin with and 2. we (as in every American citizen) are the government.
Re:Essential Liberties? Re:Nothing to hide
Yes, Greg, we are the government--we have every right to tell the current functionaries when they're getting out of line, we have every right to tell the current functionaries to cut out the constant intrusion into our private lives, and we absolutely have the right to read materials the current functionaries don't happen to approve of without their interference or supervision--even, or should I say especially, when it's our tax dollars that are supplying that reading material.
George W. Bush is not my owner; he's my employee.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
Wake up and smell the coffee, Greg. Oddballs like McCain aside, most of the politically active veterans of our last few wars are Democrats, and the people sliming them are Republicans who had, or have, "other priorities." It's not a Democrat who fired at a crowd of Gold Star families and other soldiers' relatives and explained that he was practicing for "dove hunting season," or who drove his pick-up truck through the row of white crosses memorializing American soldiers killed in Iraq outside Camp Casey in Crawford.
The argument that in order to fight a war we have to use the Constitution for toilet paper is the argument of the Stalinists, not freedom-loving American patriots. Or is Benjamin Franklin, who said "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" now retroactively declared to have been UnAmerican?
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
"Conservatives used to be the people who thought privacy was an important value. These days, "conservatives", or those self-labeled as such, sound an awful lot more like Stalinists. "
And there were once Democrats who understood what it took to fight and win a war. These days they're all curled up in the fetal position.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
. . . unless you have something to hide or behaving suspiciously . . .
If you have nothing to hide then why is your government spying on you? How many of those persecuted by Amerika's number one promoter of communism, Joe McCarthy, had anything to hide?
Did'j'ya ever stop to think that maybe if your government couldn't find a real reason to seize your records that they would make something up? Maybe invoke some obscure, century-old law that had never been used the way John Ashcroft did with Greenpeace?
It's not a question of what anybody has to hide, it's a question of what they have to fear. Big government, the kind the Rethuglican dolts say they hate but constantly promote, is exactly the kind of thing everyone should fear.
If elected parasites want to know all about our private and personal lives then let them set the example by publishing their tax returns from since they earned their first dollar, and their medical records, and especially all the court records they used influence to get sealed the way Bush did. There is a principle of leadership that goes: you cannot ask others to do what you yourself will not or cannot do. By that principle, there are no leaders in the White House, and prescious few in congress.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
For example, borrowing books on building bombs or making poison gas.
Nahhh, man, there's always the internet for that kind of biz.
Always remember, NH3 + Cl = "1 Weapon of Mass Destruction."
Petrol + Styrofoam peanuts = Napalm
Two great examples of how you don't actually need the internet or books, all you need is a tool shed and a grocery store.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
Then, it's simple, don't join libraries! Anyway, the authorities can get information about you from banks, insurance companies, etc.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
Exactly. Libraries don't usually have information on making bombs etc. Internet has. So why avoid libraries? Your credit card has more information on you, and people don't avoid using them.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
Yeah, but library book choices can reveal things some folks may not want the government to know that aren't out there in the other records. While some liberal/pagan/gay/whatever folks may be perfectly fine being out there, active in public events and not too fearful of persecution, there are plenty of folks, particularly in smaller towns, who are looking for information on various topics that are not mainstream who WOULD feel threatened by others knowing what they are reading and what it may say about them. I was forced to live in towns like that in my childhood. It was not a pleasant experience.
Personally I think the attitude that "if you aren't doing anything improper, why would you care" is just plain scary and leads to the stripping of rights and privacy for all.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
One simple reason: it is my privacy. It is not the government's business or anybody's what I choose to read or not. Those cowards who usually say "if you have nothing to hide" are often ones who likely have a lot to hide if push came to shove. If I want to hide it or not, it should be my choice, not dictated by Big Brother or his sycophants.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
Personally I think the attitude that "if you aren't doing anything improper, why would you care" is just plain scary...
The thing is that, since 9/11, things that may have been merely frowned upon turned into "issues of national security." On September 11, 1999 I could go request information about bomb making, get some books at the library on explosives, download some stuff off the net, and the most that would happen is that I might raise an eyebrow.
Now, whoo boy. Yeah, that's not gonna just raise an eyebrow but probably hoist several red flags, prevent me from flying, get my phone tapped, and maybe even grow me a tail.
Re:Nothing to hide, no need to avoid libraries
Or doing research for a paper on that Osama been Forgotten guy for seventh grade history class, or looking for information on any number of health-related matters that you'd rather not have your concerns about become public property.
Conservatives used to be the people who thought privacy was an important value. These days, "conservatives", or those self-labeled as such, sound an awful lot more like Stalinists.
Re:Essential Liberties? Re:Nothing to hide
Well, no he isn't your employee. And you can complain about what elected officials do but as long as they keep getting elected they're going to do what they want.
Its my tax dollars too and if I think a library is becoming a place that is more abused then used then I would just as soon have my money back. One of the ways to prove its not being abused is for access to use histories of suspected criminals or terrorists when necessary.
