Thank you for your interest in this program. We should be contacting you shortly.
Natural gas plant operators monitor and control the systems and equipment that take gas from its natural state and convert it into a useable product. Your job is to ensure that the gas produced is free of impurities. The purified gas is then separated into products such as ethane, propane, butane, and methane. You'll also be responsible for the flow of this processed gas into the pipelines that carry it to the various industries and homes that use it for fuel. In addition, you'll make gas flow changes to the supply system to keep pace with customer demands.
Natural gas plant operators earn above-average wages and enjoy good job security and potential to advance into supervisory or management positions. This is a user-friendly course, designed for people who have no prior exposure to technical aspects of hydrocarbons, energy, or industrial processes. No prior science or math education is necessary; the course includes all of the necessary basic science and technology elements.

This might be a stupid question for expert in this area.
I am considering automorphic representation of algebraic group.
In studying it, local tempered, local square integrable representations occurs in the P-adic group case. So, I am wondering that what global automorphic representation gives rise to such representation at some finite set of places?
Does globally sq. int. auto. represenation give local sq. int reps at S, some finite set of places of F?
If not, would you tell me what kind of global automorphic representation would be locally sq. int for finite set of places?
One more notation question.
What is the meaning of tempered auto. reps. in global situation? For I learned its definition only in the local case, I suppose it should be locally tempered at finite ramified places. Is it ture?

Never have I ever seen a Transformer this cool: a custom Master Chief Transformer on eBay that goes from being a Spartan soldier to—not just any old car—an actual Warthog LRV. ZOMG.
Up for auction is a custom built Transformer of Master Chief from the Halo series of games. A quick transformation turns him from the iconic Spartan soldier into a battle ready Warthog LRV . Stands 5 1/4" tall when transformed and comes with a variety of weapons including a Sniper Rifle, Spike Grenade, and Warthog turret. Built from a McFarlane Master Chief figure, an Actionclix Wartog and an Autobot Hound transformer, many hours of work have been put into this to make it a faithfull representation of both the vehicle and the character.
The auction ends on March 12, and is currently at $US51 with 15 bids. Hmm, I think I found what I'm going to blow my cash on this month. [eBay via geekologie]

The core code for Windows is undergoing a rewrite to make it slimmer for use in a wide range of future products, including Windows 7 (the OS that will succeed Vista).
The internal project, code-named "MinWin," is not being prepared for a product just yet, but will be part of Windows 7, said Eric Traut, a distinguished engineer, during a recent presentation at the University of Illinois.
The kernel is the fundamental code underlying an OS that manages services for applications such as drivers, file management and memory.
"A lot of people think of Windows as this large, bloated operating system, and that's maybe a fair characterisation, I have to admit," Traut said. "But at its core, the kernel, and the components that make up the very core of the operating system, is actually pretty streamlined."
Traut showed a demonstration of MinWin, which lacks a graphical user interface. It takes up just 25MB when stored on disk, compared to the massive 4GB the full Windows Vista OS needs, Traut said.
MinWin can run on under 40MB of RAM, he said. "That's kind of proof there is actually a pretty nice little core inside of Windows," Traut said.
But Microsoft still wants to shrink it. "It's still bigger than I'd like it to be," Traut said.
Microsoft uses its kernel in a range of products, from its client Windows OS to servers. Keeping the kernel as small as possible enables it to be used in OSes for lower-memory environments, such as embedded devices.
"This will provide us the ability to move into even more areas," Traut said.
Microsoft has said it will release Windows 7 by 2010, although the company has not revealed much detail on its features.

Dealership Information
" Last Monday I called Sport's maintenance department to inquire as to whether they could look at my car, which wouldn't turn on. Eventually, the AAA guy found the issue and started it at my house, but I wanted to be double sure that all was okay. The guy from Sport maintenance was unnecessarily rude and dismissive to me. It was at that point I decided that I had enough of giving Sport my business. This attitude is something I faced from Sport maintenance staff over the years despite my over a decade of using Sport's Service center and buying my 2016 civic at the dealership. I called Herson's and they were helpful and told me to come down to check on my car, even though they were busy. While there I traded in my civic for a CRV. Mike was very helpful; however, I could not endure having to bring in my car for any issues or service to Sport's team any longer. I know my warranties are tied with the dealership, so I chose to go to the dealership with better customer service- Herson's. Tony Houston was my Sales consultant and he was awesome! "
" Great service every time. Go see Rich at Herson's on Rockville Pike! "
" I had a great experience buying a new Honda at Herson's. I've used their service department for several years now, and have always been pleased. When I decided to trade in my old Honda for something newer they were the first dealer I considered, and I was equally pleased with their sales department. I never felt pressured, and the salesman I dealt with was a genuinely good guy who got me the car I wanted at a reasonable price and interest rate. It's nice to walk away from the car-buying process with no regrets and a good feeling about the dealer. I'd definitely buy a car from Herson's again. "
" I called them looking for a Vehicle on line, and they contacted me pretty fast, I also gave them a call very pleasant. I walked in at the new used car at first only by accident. Because I was going to the used vehicle. I had an appointment and my salesperson named Was "Edgar Fuentes" sales consultant. I tell you no Exaggeration that he was a great salesman very polite listen to you and your needs you can be a seemed to be nervous but he very very good, so I say to you look him up, also I can Imagine, if he was polite the other ones should also, I can also tell you that he did not ask me to say anything nice about him, so ask for him and before I Decided to go to Herson's Honda I had already visited 5 other car dealer not to say they were bad, but you feel that they are not just trying to sale you anything just to get paid, I could feel that they car about you the customer, the next Time I purchase another vehicle believe me I will be going back. "
" Looked at cars "
" Chris was absolutely the best. He went above board to handle my issue. I highly recommend him as well as Herson's Honda. "
" My experience at Hersons Honda and with Jeffrey DeLong was very easy, convenient, pleasant and professional. They met my needs at the price I wanted, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you. "
" Wonderful experience at Herson's Honda. We decided to purchase a new car shortly after Christmas. We initially visited a non-Honda dealership and were not impressed with the reception and the process. From the moment we stepped into Herson's Honda, we were warmly welcomed and everything went extremely smoothly from the beginning until the moment we left with our new car. Thomas Bennetts made sure we are happy with our choice and we got an excellent deal on a new Honda Accord. We love our new car and couldn't be happier with the professional treatment we received. "
" The Herson's Honda sales team simply rocks! That was far not the first car I just purchased from them. And they get better and better every time. The time it took to purchase my car (Honda Accord 2020), from the time I entered the dealership to the time I drove my new car away, - 1 hour 15 min. That included selecting the car, negotiating the price, applying for financing, approving financing, signing all paperwork, getting my new car ready for me, walking me through the owner's instructions, walking me to my new car. Unbelievable service!!! Thank you, CJ Tashman, Bryan, Aaron, technicians on the floor. Thank you, Herson's Honda for great business! I will certainly come again. "
" Great customer service!! Justin is very nice and I recommended Shamea if you need to buy a car, she is very nice and friendly. "
" Took in my boss's Honda CRV for scheduled maintenance and pulled into the service lane where a nice gentleman came out immediately, asked a couple of questions and took my keys. Then he walked me to the waiting area which had a (quite good) coffee dispenser and two large boxes of donuts. I found a comfortable private cubicle to rest and watch tv and charge my phone. They came and found me ten minutes before the original allotted time frame. Done and out the door. The reason for 3 stars? It's this thing that happens at every dealer's service dept and Herson's is apparently no different. The lot jockeys whose whole mission is move the car a few feet from the service entrance to a spot, then to a service bay, then to a pick up spot...always manage to screw with things inside the car that there is no need to. They use the radio and in my case, opened the sunroof also. No reason for this and no reason they can't put it back to the way it was when I gave them the car. If you cannot help yourself and must play with my car's controls for the few seconds you are in it, at least put things back to how they were. Turn off the radio, close the sunroof! I mean, seriously? Is this some kind of mental defect in these guys that they MUST play around in all the cars!? You are in the car for roughly 60 seconds! Stop it, please! "
" First it's a great location Everyone was nice since the moment we walked in , kevin Lara was the person in charge of helping us out , he worked with me to find out what was my best option to buy ,the buying process took more time than expected but kevin was so cool about it even though I'm a difficult person by the time of taking decisions he took the proper care and patiences to fulfill my requests. Thank you so much "
" It's so nice to do business with friendly people, people who always want the best for customers, "Jeremy Miller" is the best advisor with whom you can negotiate at Herson's Honda - 15525 Frederick Rd, Rockville, MD 20855 "
" It's always a pleasure doing business with Herson's Honda. It was a very pleasant experience and a Honda is always a great car for many years. "
" Shamea is delightful to work with. After having very bad experience with Toyota dealer, coming here and working with Shamea is such a change. She understands we have little kids and tries to accommodate us. She helps us to look at cars and never hesitate to let us try different options. Esther from finance is also very friendly and professional. Everything goes so smoothly and less stress for us. We brought home a van we love with a very good experience. "
" I was sides swiped a few weeks ago so I took it to the dealership and Erika Diaz helped me with the process she was really helpful made it a lot easier then my pass experience my car was out in no time I will definitely will be going back and recommend this dealership "
" Went last month for an estimate for damage to my rear fender caused by a hit and run I was helped by Erika Diaz she was extremely nice and very helpful through the process my car came out great will return for any other work needs "
" Wonderful experience: professional and pleasant. First-class customer service. Highly recommend. "
" Had a great and smooth experience leasing my second Honda CRV with Ed Rojas, he was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended to deal with him!!! "
" The buy process was easy and painless and got a good deal on a vehicle. I worked with Jeremy who was responsive and helpful but was not pushy at all like other sales people I've dealt with in the past. Jeremy humored me into looking at the vehicle multiple times prior to buying, and I highly recommend him and the dealership. "
" I purchased a car from Herson's this weekend. I worked with Daniel Johnson who was great - professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and very patient with all my questions! The whole sales team, Daniel, Justin, and Stephen were wonderful. I definitely recommend Herson's Honda for a very satisfying car buying experience. "
" I had a great experience at Herson's Honda in Rockville. The sales rep, Jeremy Miller, answered all my questions and was very courteous and patient with me. I purchased my Honda Civic within a couple of hours. "
" Great experience buying our new CRV from the Herson's Honda team. Michael Elhawa was very nice and knowledgeable. Felt like we were working with longtime friends. "
"Satisfied With Herson's Honda and Service"
" I have purchased three Hondas from this dealership since 1988. My first car, from Hersons, was a 1988 Honda Accord. Next, I purchased a 2000 Honda CRV. I loved that car. It had a card table built in to the trunk area. My next purchase (and current vehicle) was a 2015 Honda CRV. I have kept each vehicle over 10 years. I really drive my cars a lot and have driven more than 150,000 miles on each car before trading. I even enjoy taking my car for its scheduled maintenance because everyone is so helpful and easy to work with. "
" Service Team was great. very kind and has great manner. I would recommend this dealer to anyone on my friends and familie. Thanks to you all!! "
" (Translated by Google) 💯 points (Original) 💯 puntos "
" I checked for a minor part ahead of time and confirmed they had it. Stopped by the next day and picked it up. Price was slightly higher than quoted via email but parts department hours were convenient enough. I would patronize again. "
" Percy is an excellent sales person who deserves highest rating. "
" The whole process is very smooth. I bought drove the car home within a few hours. Kevin is great. He explained and set up everything well for me to start driving. Never thought buying a car is so easy!!! "
" I had been a customer here at Herson's Honda since 1996 and I'm still a current customer here. Herson's Honda has always been there for me for all of my car care needs and now today I had purchased another Honda as an addition to my other Honda's that were purchased at this dealership. Daniel Johnson, had made my purchase experience a very pleasant and very courteous and a quite enjoyable as well. He worked very hard to make sure that I am pleased with my selection of vehicle and help along with my purchase decision, I did not felt pressure to buy, is probably what drives me to buy something that I would really enjoy to drive. Daniel is an asset to Herson's Honda success. I think he would do very well. The location of Herson's Honda is very convenient to get in and out of but most importantly, Herson's treat their employee as a valuable asset in turns their employee worked very hard to keep customer happy and keep returning because this is the dealership that keep your car running and on the road for a long time coz they're vested in their customer. I can attest that my 96 accord has 322,000 plus miles and still running strong all from this dealership doing. They kept my car alive. In my opinion this dealership really know their product very well and trained it's employee from repair, maintenance, and right down to sale. Tell you the truth, I never had ever been into any dealership that has repair and sale all as a one stop place. Most dealership that I know from friends and others that I know, it's usually either the service or sale is top notch but never in both of those area. On January 05, 2020; Daniel Johnson has helped Herson's Honda along with his boss Justin and down to the finance dept set the bar for Herson's Honda to be the number #1 Dealership in the DMV area in my opinion. I will definitely tell people about this dealership when comes to repair and or needing a reliable cars like Honda. It's not reliable unless it's Herson's Honda. So thank you so much Herson for being part of my worry free car that I can trust being behind the wheel a signature like Herson's Honda. "
" The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. "
" I recently purchased a Brand New Honda from 'Adam Norton' at Herson's Honda. I found Adam to be honest, knowledgeable and trust worthy. From the moment I walked in the place I was properly greeted, and from there Adam showed me a huge selection of cars that fit my interest, he made my car buying experience simple and fun. Aaron (Finance dept) was also awesome to deal with, he gave me a fantastic rate and overall I am very pleased with my purchase on all levels. I would recommend Adam and Aaron at Herson's Honda to my friends and family. "

"If there had been no offer for Romania to join the EU, we would look like another Belarus now."
Alina Mungiu-Pippidi (ESI portrait, 2010)
Romania is, after Bulgaria, the poorest country in the EU. Romania was one of the laggards in the 5th EU enlargement round. It is still subject to an EU "Mechanism for cooperation and verification", a tool established to continuously monitor progress in the areas of judicial reform, corruption and organised crime in Romania and Bulgaria after they joined the EU. Some member states, in particular the Netherlands and Germany, have argued that Romania (along with Bulgaria) is not ready to join the Schengen area, although both countries have met the technical criteria. In 2011 the Dutch Minister for Immigration, Integration and Asylum Affairs, Gerd Leers, said:
"It is also a matter of trust and confidence that our collective external borders will be safe and secure. At the moment, it is clear that there are still significant shortcomings in the field of anticorruption and the fight against organized crime."
Responding to the argument that the two countries were technically ready, Leers said:
"You can have a door locked and fitted with the latest systems, but if the guard is not trustworthy, it's no use."
In 2013, German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich threatened a German veto, because of "persisting vulnerabilities in some areas, in particular related to the functioning of the justice system".
Today it is conventional wisdom in EU policy-making circles, among analysts, journalists and politicians that Romania's accession to the EU on 1 January 2007 came too early. As Hugo Brady of the Centre for European Reform wrote in 2009:
"The premature accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the Union in 2007 damaged the credibility of EU enlargement, due to persistent problems with corruption and organised crime in these countries. Now that they are full EU members, reform of public administration and the judiciary has slowed."
Five years later, in January 2014, Markus Ferber, head of the CSU group in the European parliament, stated that "the accession of these countries came too early. Romania and Bulgaria were not ready to join."
Over the last years, ESI has conducted intensive field research in Timisoara in the Western part of Romania, close to the country's borders with Hungary and Serbia. The documentary film Timisoara.com, produced in 2008 based on ESI research, points to a number of persistent challenges in Romania. And yet, it also showed dramatic change: a city attracting a lot of foreign investment, many examples of domestic entrepreneurship and an unemployment rate below 2 per cent.
In late 2013 ESI returned to Timisoara to see how the city had been affected by the recent European economic crisis. What we found was surprising. Timisoara had first seen the collapse of its construction sector. This was followed by the bankruptcy of numerous smaller and medium-sized enterprises. And yet, most factories in Timisoara were quickly back to full production. The unemployment rate is back below 2 per cent. The city had weathered the crisis astonishingly well. Why is that? And what does it tell us about the depth of structural change in this important region of Romania? … Read more in our recent essay, produced with support of ERSTE Foundation, Timisoara 2.0.

Bertrand Russell published a large number of books on logic, the theory of knowledge, and many other topics. He is one of the most important logicians of the 20th Century.
Russell's Mathematical Contributions
Over a long and varied career, Bertrand Russell made ground-breaking contributions to the foundations of mathematics and to the development of contemporary formal logic, as well as to analytic philosophy. His contributions relating to mathematics include his discovery of Russell's paradox, his defence of logicism (the view that mathematics is, in some significant sense, reducible to formal logic), his introduction of the theory of types, and his refining and popularizing of the first-order predicate calculus. Along with Kurt Gödel, he is usually credited with being one of the two most important logicians of the twentieth century.
Russell discovered the paradox which bears his name in May 1901, while working on his Principles of Mathematics (1903). The paradox arose in connection with the set of all sets which are not members of themselves. Such a set, if it exists, will be a member of itself if and only if it is not a member of itself. The significance of the paradox follows since, in classical logic, all sentences are entailed by a contradiction. In the eyes of many mathematicians (including David Hilbert and Luitzen Brouwer) it therefore appeared that no proof could be trusted once it was discovered that the logic apparently underlying all of mathematics was contradictory. A large amount of work throughout the early part of this century in logic, set theory, and the philosophy and foundations of mathematics was thus prompted.
Russell's paradox arises as a result of naive set theory's so-called unrestricted comprehension (or abstraction) axiom. Originally introduced by Georg Cantor, the axiom states that any predicate expression, P(x), which contains x as a free variable, will determine a set whose members are exactly those objects which satisfy P(x). The axiom gives form to the intuition that any coherent condition may be used to determine a set (or class). Most attempts at resolving Russell's paradox have therefore concentrated on various ways of restricting or abandoning this axiom.
Russell's own response to the paradox came with the introduction of his theory of types. His basic idea was that reference to troublesome sets (such as the set of all sets which are not members of themselves) could be avoided by arranging all sentences into a hierarchy (beginning with sentences about individuals at the lowest level, sentences about sets of individuals at the next lowest level, sentences about sets of sets of individuals at the next lowest level, etc.). Using the vicious circle principle also adopted by Henri Poincaré, together with his so-called "no class" theory of classes, Russell was then able to explain why the unrestricted comprehension axiom fails: propositional functions, such as the function "x is a set", should not be applied to themselves since self-application would involve a vicious circle. On this view, it follows that it is possible to refer to a collection of objects for which a given condition (or predicate) holds only if they are all at the same level or of the same "type".
Although first introduced by Russell in 1903 in the Principles, his theory of types finds its mature expression in his 1908 article Mathematical Logic as Based on the Theory of Types and in the monumental work he co-authored with Alfred North Whitehead, Principia Mathematica (1910, 1912, 1913). Thus, in its details, the theory admits of two versions, the "simple theory" and the "ramified theory". Both versions of the theory later came under attack. For some, they were too weak since they failed to resolve all of the known paradoxes. For others, they were too strong since they disallowed many mathematical definitions which, although consistent, violated the vicious circle principle. Russell's response to the second of these objections was to introduce, within the ramified theory, the axiom of reducibility. Although the axiom successfully lessened the vicious circle principle's scope of application, many claimed that it was simply too ad hoc to be justified philosophically.
Of equal significance during this same period was Russell's defence of logicism, the theory that mathematics was in some important sense reducible to logic. First defended in his Principles, and later in more detail in Principia Mathematica, Russell's logicism consisted of two main theses. The first is that all mathematical truths can be translated into logical truths or, in other words, that the vocabulary of mathematics constitutes a proper subset of that of logic. The second is that all mathematical proofs can be recast as logical proofs or, in other words, that the theorems of mathematics constitute a proper subset of those of logic.
Like Gottlob Frege, Russell's basic idea for defending logicism was that numbers may be identified with classes of classes and that number-theoretic statements may be explained in terms of quantifiers and identity. Thus the number 1 would be identified with the class of all unit classes, the number 2 with the class of all two-membered classes, and so on. Statements such as "there are two books" would be recast as "there is a book, x, and there is a book, y, and x is not identical to y". It followed that number-theoretic operations could be explained in terms of set-theoretic operations such as intersection, union, and the like. In Principia Mathematica, Whitehead and Russell were able to provide detailed derivations of many major theorems in set theory, finite and transfinite arithmetic, and elementary measure theory. A fourth volume on geometry was planned but never completed.
In much the same way that Russell wanted to use logic to clarify issues in the foundations of mathematics, he also wanted to use logic to clarify issues in philosophy. As one of the founders of "analytic philosophy", Russell is remembered for his work using first-order logic to show how a broad range of denoting phrases could be recast in terms of predicates and quantified variables. Thus, he is also remembered for his emphasis upon the importance of logical form for the resolution of many related philosophical problems. Here, as in mathematics, it was Russell's hope that by applying logical machinery and insights one would be able to resolve otherwise intractable difficulties.
Russell's Life and Public Influence
Russell was born the grandson of Lord John Russell, who had twice served as Prime Minister under Queen Victoria. Following the death of his mother (in 1874) and of his father (in 1876), Russell and his brother went to live with their grandparents. (Although Russell's father had granted custody of Russell and his brother to two atheists, Russell's grandparents had little difficulty in getting his will overturned.) Following the death of his grandfather (in 1878), Russell was raised by his grandmother, Lady Russell. Educated at first privately, and later at Trinity College, Cambridge, Russell obtained first class degrees both in mathematics and in the moral sciences.
Although elected to the Royal Society in 1908, Russell's career at Trinity appeared to come to an end in 1916 when he was convicted and fined for anti-war activities. He was dismissed from the College as a result of the conviction. (The details of the dismissal are recounted in Bertrand Russell and Trinity (1942) by G H Hardy.) Two years later Russell was convicted a second time. This time he spent six months in prison. It was while in prison that he wrote his well-received Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy (1919). He did not return to Trinity until 1944. Married four times and notorious for his many affairs, Russell also ran unsuccessfully for Parliament, in 1907, 1922, and 1923. Together with his second wife, he opened and ran an experimental school during the late 1920s and early 1930s. He became the third Earl Russell upon the death of his brother in 1931.
While teaching in the United States in the late 1930s, Russell was offered a teaching appointment at City College, New York. The appointment was revoked following a large number of public protests and a judicial decision, in 1940, which stated that he was morally unfit to teach at the College. Nine years later he was awarded the Order of Merit. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Russell became something of an inspiration to large numbers of idealistic youth as a result of his continued anti-war and anti-nuclear protests. Together with Albert Einstein, he released the Russell-Einstein Manifesto in 1955, calling for the curtailment of nuclear weapons. In 1957, he was a prime organizer of the first Pugwash Conference, which brought together scientists concerned about the proliferation of nuclear weapons. He became the founding president of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1958 and was once again imprisoned, this time in connection with anti-nuclear protests, in 1961. Upon appeal, his two-month prison sentence was reduced to one week in the prison hospital. He remained a prominent public figure until his death nine years later at the age of 97.

With John Paul Stevens' decision to retire from the US Supreme Court (he was appointed by President Ford in 1975), we will soon see another nomination process. I thought I'd post some information on the nomination process to start with:
Once the president nominates someone (usually with a personal phone call to that person) and releases the name, the Senate holds hearings. At these hearings, senators interview the nominee regarding his or her record as a judge and lawyer and where he or she stands on key issues. If the nominee has any dark secrets or past indiscretions, they are likely to come out in the Senate hearings, as well. Perhaps the most infamous instance of this took place at the confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas, who was accused of sexual harassment by former colleague Anita Hill. He was eventually confirmed by the Senate despite the controversy. The overwhelming majority of Supreme Court nominees are approved by the Senate. There are some conflicting statistics, but the Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports there have been only 36 rejections out of 158 nominees [up until] 2007 [source: Congressional Research Service].
Until the 20th century, these hearings were held behind closed doors. In fact, the nomination process was almost completely invisible to the public. The president might seek the advice of friends and associates, but he made the choice on his own and even contacted and interviewed potential candidates on his own time. Today, members of the White House staff and the Justice Department are all involved in the decision, creating lists of candidates and sometimes competing with one and other to promote a particular candidate. Also, since 1930 the confirmation hearings have been completely open to the public. They have been televised since 1981 (Yalof, pg. 15).
There are several ways that a nominee can fail to become a Supreme Court justice. Seven nominees throughout history have simply declined the nomination. If it appears that there is great opposition to a candidate, the president can withdraw the nomination, or the nominee can withdraw him or herself. The Senate can also reject a nominee. Once rejected, a nominee can be submitted again, but this is a foolish course of action for the president unless something has changed that might lead to a different vote by the Senate. In 1836, Andrew Jackson nominated Roger Taney, but the Senate rejected him. A few months later, Jackson nominated Taney again. In that time, Congressional elections had been held, and the Senate was now more favorable to Jackson. Taney was confirmed (Aaseng, pg. 43).
I thought I'd continue with more information on Jackson and Taney for you, which included a Cabinet rejection (the first) by the Senate:
Relations between the Senate and the president had become so embittered that the president delayed submitting the names of his recent cabinet appointees for confirmation until the final week of the congressional session. By June of 1834, the Senate stood evenly divided between supporters of President Andrew Jackson and anti-Jackson men. The president's assault on the Second Bank of the United States, launched two years earlier, had precipitated this split and led to the formation of the opposition Whig Party. In March, the Senate had censured Jackson for his efforts to remove government funds from that federally chartered quasi-private institution. When Jackson protested this extraconstitutional act, the Senate refused to print his message in its journal.
Nine months earlier, Jackson had selected Roger Taney, the architect of his antibank policies, as secretary of the treasury. Senators complained that the unconfirmed Taney held his office illegally. As Jackson biographer Robert Remini has written, "Whether this was true did not disturb Jackson one whit." Yet Jackson knew that sooner or later he would have to send Taney's name to the Senate and, in Remini's words, "he knew that senators would tear into the nomination like ravenous wolves to get revenge for the removal of the deposits and poor Taney would be made to bear much of the pain and humiliation."
Finally, on June 23, 1834, Jackson sent forth Taney's nomination. On the next day a probank majority in the Senate, including both senators from Taney's Maryland, denied him the post by a vote of 18 to 28, making him the first cabinet nominee in history to suffer the Senate's formal rejection.
The following year the deeply insulted Jackson returned Taney's name to the Senate as associate justice of the Supreme Court. Opponents blocked a vote on the last day of that session and tried unsuccessfully to eliminate one seat from the Court. When the Senate reconvened in December 1835, under a slim margin of Democratic control, Jackson sent it a new Taney nomination, this time to fill a vacancy for chief justice of the United States. Following extended maneuvering and bitter debate, the Senate confirmed Taney.

I fixed it, but where it is wrong is the site I'm quoting. I'll try letting them know (if I can figure out how). If you check the link they provide to CRS, it is correct there.
Thanks for pointing it out - I read over it, made the obvious correction in my head and didn't notice!

" The Hatch Toyota team went WAY above and beyond to help us on the evening before Christmas Eve after we were stranded at the local airport. Michael and Seth got us where we needed to go (which was a 4-hour drive away). That level of kindness and service is rare and we were just some strangers stranded at the airport. I wonder what the experience is like for their customers. WOW! "

Tallahassee, Fla.— The Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) has been working diligently toward transforming Florida Medicaid since mid-2011 when the legislation that created the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care program became law. The Agency, in partnership with the Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA), achieved a critical milestone today as Secretary Liz Dudek executed contracts with each of the seven health plans selected to provide services via the SMMC Long-term Care program.
"The signing of these contracts solidifies the commitment from each health plan to deliver high quality services to the approximately 85,000 elderly or disabled Floridians statewide who will be enrolled in the Long-term Care program," said Agency Secretary Liz Dudek. "The Agency has been conducting targeted outreach to recipients, providers and stakeholders, and we look forward to beginning to provide long-term care services in this new way starting August 1 for those in the greater Orlando area and then working our way around the state."
"For over twelve years, Florida has led the nation in the design and delivery of Medicaid managed long-term care," said DOEA Secretary Charles Corley. "We look forward to seamlessly transitioning the 85,000 current Medicaid long-term care recipients to the new service delivery model and to continue providing and monitoring these vital long-term care services to Florida's frail elders and adults with disabilities."
Each of the health plans was present at the ceremony to accept their original signed contract and pledge their commitment to deliver superior care to Long-term Care program recipients.
"American Eldercare is excited to be a participant in the new Medicaid Long-term Care program. As the only provider selected statewide we are working diligently to prepare for
the challenge of providing care to an anticipated enrollment of over 25,000 Floridians. We believe that the new program will offer more choices for the frailest population. Whereas in the past many of Florida's elderly and disabled were unable to remain in their homes or couldn't leave a nursing home because of waiting lists for home care, the new program will allow recipients to receive services in their homes," said Robert G. Schemel, President of American Eldercare, Inc. "American Eldercare was the only Provider Service Network selected and is the only provider licensed to directly provide home health services. For over ten years AEC has specialized in long term care managed care and has been recognized for superior services."
"Long-term care coordination for seniors and people with disabilities improves the quality of care received and lifts the burden so often faced by family members and caregivers," said Rosy Cozad, Amerigroup Florida chief executive officer. "We are committed to the communities we serve in Florida and proud to help support greater independence for these individuals at home and in the community."
Christopher Ciano, Chief Executive Officer of Coventry Health Care of Florida said, "Coventry is honored to participate in the state's Long-term Care program. We have been serving Floridians since 1985 and are committed to providing our members with access to quality health care. Those served by the LTC program are an especially vulnerable population and we look forward to delivering compassionate, quality and customized care to these individuals."
"We're honored to take part with AHCA and DOEA for today's formal signing of Humana's state contract to provide long-term care in Florida," said Humana Florida Medicaid Executive Director Heidi Garwood. "This state award reflects Humana's goal to improve the health and well-being of our members by delivering expanded offerings that focus on wellness and quality of life."
"Molina Healthcare of Florida is pleased to have the opportunity to continue delivering on our commitment to keep Florida's senior population as safe and healthy as possible," said David Pollack, president of Molina Healthcare of Florida. "We look forward to building on our strong partnerships with the state, our providers, and community-based organizations to provide high-quality health care services to some of Florida's most vulnerable citizens."
"Sunshine State Health Plan is pleased to expand our partnership with the state of Florida to provide critical long-term care services through an individually-centered, personal approach for some of the state's most vulnerable residents," said Chris Paterson, Sunshine Health CEO. "We look forward to working with providers and community organizations in realizing the state's vision for this program in each of the 10 regions we've been selected to serve as a Long-term Care plan."
"For over two decades, Florida has led the nation with long term care programs designed to help keep our most frail and elderly citizens independent and safely in their homes.
United Healthcare has been honored to have partnered with the Agency for Health Care Administration in developing and expanding these programs," said Kathleen Crampton, President and CEO of United Healthcare of Florida Community Plan, "and is excited about the opportunity to continue delivering high quality, community-based services to our most vulnerable citizens."
The Agency has created an online hub at http://ahca.myflorida.com/SMMC where providers, recipients and stakeholders can learn more about the SMMC program, the phased-in implementation plan, communication tools and information about which plans will operate in each of the regions.
The Agency for Health Care Administration is committed to better health care for all Floridians. The Agency administers Florida's Medicaid program, licenses and regulates more than 45,000 health care facilities and 37 health maintenance organizations, and publishes health care data and statistics at www.FloridaHealthFinder.gov. Additional information about Agency initiatives is available via Facebook (AHCAFlorida), Twitter (@AHCA_FL) and YouTube (/AHCAFlorida).

Sweet. Tart. Sparkling. Still. Styles of hard ciders vary as much as the knobby bittersweet apples from which they're made, and it's this versatility that makes them so appealing. Produced in apple-rich regions around the globe—from Spain's Basque region to the French countryside and from the Pacific Northwest to New England—we've assembled a bushel of hard ciders that offer a global perspective on this universally delicious drink.
AEppelTreow Winery Barn Swallow Cider
Light and refreshing with just a slight spritz, this cider from Wisconsin-based AEppelTreow Winery & Distillery combines a trio of cider apples with Red Delicious for just a kiss of sweetness on the finish.
Argus Cidery Idalou Brut
Uniquely made with dessert apples (as opposed to the more commonly used cider apples) grown in the Texan Panhandle and co-fermented with a mix of natural and cutured yeasts, this lip-smacker takes on a rustic funk thanks to a bit of Brett.
Eric Bordelet Sydre Doux
Heralded as one of the top (if not the top) producers of French cider, Eric Bordelet crafts this off-dry cider from biodynamically farmed heirloom apple trees, some of which are more than two centuries old. The result is pure, baked-apple flavors with food-friendly acidity and a kiss of honey on the finish. Try it in the Waltzing with Vincent Price cocktail.
Eve's Autumn Gold
New York
Yeasty apple skin aromas open into a tart, fruity acidity and playful effervescence. There's a pleasing bitter quality that comes in mid-palate, while the sweeter finish sings of dried apples and raisins.
Farnum Hill Dooryard
New Hampshire
An experimental line of ciders from Farnum Hill, Dooryard comes from a blend of the barrels that don't necessarily fit under any of Farnum Hill's established labels. Usually a tad more tannic than Farnum Hill's other ciders, but still with the delectable funk we've come to expect from this grower/producer, the batch we tasted offered up notes of hay, lemon, pear, earth, gunmetal, olive oil … Definitely a lot going on.
Foggy Ridge Serious Cider
Don't be intimidated by the name—this dry cider is easy-drinking, light and delicious with playful Prosecco-like bubblels, tropical aromas of pineapple and citrus, and plump, fruity flavors of ripe apples, pears and lemon.
Isastegi Sagardo Naturala
We've long been fans of this lip-smackingly dry cider from Spain's Basque region, and its tangy apple-lime flavors, sour beer-like acidity and refreshingly fizzy finish prove irresistible yet again. Try it with traditional Spanish tapas or just about anything fried and salty.
Samuel Smith Organic Cider
United Kingdom
As classic an English cider as they come, this certified organic offering is straight-forward and easy-drinking, and tastes as fresh as an apple plucked right from the tree.
Snowdrift Semi-Dry
Each Snowdrift cider we've tasted is at once approachable yet sophisticated, and their semi-dry version doesn't disappoint. High-acid apples mixed with honey and molasses during fermentation create this easy-drinking cider complete with apple pie-like characteristics of roasted apples, butter and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
Virtue Sidre de Nava
Former Goose Island brewmaster Greg Hall turned his sights to cider when he launched Virtue in 2012. His Sidre de Nava offers a nod to Spanish-style ciders with bright lemon flavor, zingy effervescence and a tart, dry finish.
Wandering Aengus Wickson
Made solely from the Wickson Crab apple, this cider asserts itself from the get-go with super tart lemony flavors, a spike of yeasty spice mid-palate and mouthwatering seawater on the finish.
Whitewood Cider Old Fangled
A mix of Washington-grown heirloom apples flavor this dry cider from newly launched Whitewood. Expect bright citrus flavors balanced by subtle tannins and a kick of black pepper spice. For now distribution is limited to Washington State, but future plans call for extending into other states.

Where is it written that diabetic diets must be bland and limiting? With resources and products available these days, those living with diabetes — almost 350,000 in this state alone, according to The Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi — shouldn't have to sacrifice flavor.
"The most common questions — particularly from people living in the South where we're used to deep frying food, or cooking with animal fat or bacon grease — are about how to prepare the foods we grew up with and love," says Amanda Dahl, assistant professor of nutrition at the Mississippi University for Women Culinary Arts Institute.
"Healthier substitutions with ingredients is a main thing," states the registered dietitian. Partnering with Columbus physician Jacqueline Hampton and pharmaceutical company NovoNordisk, Dahl's Demonstration Techniques class periodically conducts diabetic cooking demos for the doctor's patients.
"When you're baking, instead of regular sugar, use Splenda," Dahl advises. You can also use egg substitutes (in recipes). Instead of cooking oil, you might use applesauce or other fruit purées. Incorporate more fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and whole grains."
When fresh isn't an option with vegetables, frozen usually trumps canned.
"Generally, the thing with canned vegetables is that a lot of them are packed in a lot of sodium as a preservation method," says Dahl. "Most diabetics are also at increased risk of developing heart disease, so it's very important — you don't need to consume that salt. With frozen, you can at least control the amount of sodium or fat added. The vegetables are usually frozen at the peak of freshness, too."
A shift in thinking
Ample Internet and book sources out there offer plenty of inspiration for revising menus and recipes, including these suggestions from www.ehow.com:
Instead of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and cream gravy, why not try chicken breasts marinated in Italian dressing, then broiled and served with roasted new potatoes and green salad?
Opt out of that sirloin steak, French bread and a baked potato slathered in butter. Instead, how about 6 ounces of lean roast beef, a baked potato with a tablespoon of sour cream and Ry Krisp?
Rather than French toast with butter and syrup, why not try two whole grain waffles with two tablespoons of low-sugar jam?
And instead of a hot fudge sundae, satisfy a sweet tooth with a cup of no-sugar-added ice cream or a cup of sugar-free Jell-O topped with two tablespoons of whipped cream.
Get serious
Noting her practice, like others, has seen an increase in the number of patients with diabetes, Hampton is adamant about education. The cooking demonstrations have been a big hit.
"There's always a full house; it's gone over really well," she says, adding she hopes the program can continue next year.
"You have to take an active role in dealing with diabetes," the doctor states. "If you're not willing to take care of yourself, my patients know they need to go somewhere else. They know I'm going to fuss at them about making the changes they need to."
In today's food pages, Dahl shares recipes that are "generally low in fat, sodium and cholesterol and are "pretty quick, very inexpensive to make, with ingredients found at local grocery stores."
What better time than The Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi's Diabetes Discovery Week, March 15-21, to take a fresh look at lifestyle changes in diet and exercise that can help prevent the onset of the disease, or improve your health if you've been diagnosed?
Yes, dealing with diabetes creates challenges in the kitchen, but thinking outside the box and moving away from fried and starch-laden meals to those starring more whole grains, poultry, lean meats, seafood and vegetables will pay big benefits for the whole family.
