Amadeus Taiwan (Taipei)
About Taiwan
Situated some 180 kilometres off the south-eastern coast of mainland China, Taiwan is a large island nation with a tropical climate and rainy seasons during the southwest monsoon (June to August). The East China Sea lies to the north, the Philippine Sea to the east, the Bashi Channel of the Luzon Strait directly to the south, and the South China Sea to the southwest. The shape of the main island of Taiwan is similar to a sweet potato seen in a south-to-north direction, and some Taiwanese often call themselves "children of the Sweet Potato." The island of Taiwan was mainly inhabited by Taiwanese aborigines until the Age of Discovery in the 17th century, when the Dutch and Spanish began establishing settlements. This was followed by the immigration of Han Chinese which makes up most the population today.
Mandarin is the official national language and is spoken by the vast majority of people there and as in Hong Kong and Macau traditional Chinese is used as the writing system. Taiwan's culture is a hybrid blend of various sources, incorporating elements of traditional Chinese culture, attributable to the historical and ancestry origin of the majority of its current residents, Japanese culture, traditional Confucianist beliefs, and increasingly Western values.
Taiwan's capital, Taipei City is situated on the Tamsui River in an ancient lakebed between two narrow valleys. Taipei is the political, economic, and cultural centre of Taiwan. The city is connected with the rest of the country via high-speed rail, highways, airports, and bus lines. The city is served by two airports – Taipei Songshan and Taiwan Taoyuan. As the capital of Taiwan, Taipei is a vibrant blend of traditional culture and cosmopolitan life. Taipei is the political, economic, educational and recreational centre of the country, offering an array of significant cultural sights with a population of 2.7 million people.

What part of 'no exceptional circumstances' does Cheney not understand?
Back in the good old days when that highly-moral Bill Clinton was in power, this is what the US told the UN about torture:Email me!
Even the White House appears to be backing off Cheney's campaign, telling reporters that they have to "ask the Vice-President's Office" why he is continuing to lobby the Senate about this. But I'll bet Cheney just will not give it up, because he can't stand to lose.
Laura Rosen writes:

Torture is prohibited by law throughout the United States. It is categorically denounced as a matter of policy and as a tool of state authority. Every act constituting torture under the Convention constitutes a criminal offense under the law of the United States. No official of the government, federal, state or local, civilian or military, is authorized to commit or to instruct anyone else to commit torture. Nor may any official condone or tolerate torture in any form. No exceptional circumstances may be invoked as a justification of torture. U.S. law contains no provision permitting otherwise prohibited acts of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment to be employed on grounds of exigent circumstances (for example, during a 'state of public emergency') or on orders from a superior officer or public authority, and the protective mechanisms of an independent judiciary are not subject to suspension.Emphasis mine. I don't care how many things "changed" after 911, this statement doesn't permit torture under any circumstances. And there is no allowance for Cheney to argue about a Presidential exemption.

I was in a torture chamber once, in the basement of a police station in Kosovo days after it was abandoned by Serb forces defeated by Nato. It was hideous as you would imagine. The British soldiers who were with me were equally shocked. A lot of the instruments and interrogation drugs I saw there also suggest they were not designed to cause organ failure or death in their victims, just pain and terror . . . Having laid my eyes on what such a scene looks like, I just associate such activities with the forces of not only the pathological and depraved, but those who are headed for defeat. If you've seen it, you realize in a way that's hard to explain, it's the tactics of the losers. If Cheney and his office mates haven't had the experience, perhaps they should. And I really don't think it's inconceivable that the remote possibility of the Hague may lie in some of their futures. Things change fast when they do, as history shows, and they could find their current willing protectors eventually chucked from office, and a whole new climate at home and abroad.

I'm sold on Genova Lab's GI Effects Stool Test. It really is the best …and I'll tell you why.
I've been using this lab for over 30 years now, if you can believe that. They've really made great strides in staying up-to-date by including state-of the-art testing options in this test. I started using GI Effects profile a lot recently and find it to be extremely informative.
In previous years, their stool tests that I ran for my patients were cultures only. Now they make use of PCR testing as well. You see anaerobic organisms don't grow in culture, so having DNA testing is far more accurate.
What is PCR testing?
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction.
It is used to amplify selected sections of DNA or RNA for analysis. Previously, this procedure required cloning of the segments of interest into vectors for expression in bacteria. It took weeks.
But now, PCR is done in test tubes. It only takes a few hours. This means that this advanced stool test is able to provide immediate, actionable clinical information.
It helps in evaluating the course of action needed to manage various types of gut conditions like irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS, Crohns, Colitis IBD and other Malabsorption Disorders
Their PCR molecular assay is optimized for stool testing. It assesses 24 commensal bacteria associated in scientific literature with health and disease. It gives us valuable insight into the human microbiome.
I'm also very impressed by the enhanced test reporting that they do. On the very first page there's an overview that you can understand at a glance. It highlights biomarkers in three main areas of gut health: Infection, Inflammation, and Metabolic Imbalance. This makes it very easy for lay people to understand and to see what areas need attention.
I also like that the GI Effects Comprehensive Profile includes very important markers:
(a) Calprotectin.
This is an invaluable biomarker that can effectively differentiate between Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
(b) Ova & Parasite Detection.
They use the gold standard for parasite identification.
You can choose as to whether you want a 1 or 3 day collection, based on how likely there is an issue relating to parasitic infection.
If low or no suspicion of parasites, then a one day sample is adequate.
Only if there is a high likelihood of parasites that a 3-day sample collection is needed.
Add-On Options to GI Effects Stool Test
I like the way they make certain valuable add-ons available.
Some pathogenic bacteria testing can be extremely expensive. So, by excluding them in the original test, but offering them as 'add-on's' is a great idea.
The specific bacteria add-on tests that can be run are:
- Clostridium difficile,
- Campylobacter,
- Escherichia coli EIA,
- Helicobacter pylori EIA and
- Fecal Lactoferrin.
Zonulin Tests for Intestinal Permeability
Their most recent add-on is Zonulin.
Zonulin is a protein modulator of intestinal tight junctions that is used to assess intestinal permeability.
Up until now, the only way we could test for intestinal permeability was by using a stand alone test … another expense and not a very pleasant procedure.
We had to drink pre-measured amounts of lactulose and mannitol and then evaluate the degree of intestinal permeability or malabsorption that was reflected in the levels of the two sugars recovered in a urine sample that needed to be collected over the next 6 hours.
We know from recent peer-reviewed literature about the significant role that intestinal permeability plays in many chronic gut problems, particularly Leaky Gut with symptoms like bloating, gas and cramps.
Intestinal Permeability will also have an impact on IBS, food sensitivities, joint pains, skin rashes and auto immune conditions.
Then there's added problems associated with intestinal permeability for Cardio-metabolic diseases like type 1 and 2 diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and even insulin resistance.
Being able to add the Zonulin test on to the GI Effects Profile is a win. One less test, added financial savings and less hassle.

In Search of a Cubs Fan on Bleacher ReportAugust 21, 2008
Bleacher Report is a great place where there are a lot of talented writers. I like to think of myself as one of those writers, and I started a Chicago Cubs blog because of it.
However, due to a recent overload of stuff, I have decided that I will no longer be able to keep the blog at the respectable level it has been at.
My hope is that I can find somebody on here to take over the blog and become the new manager of it.
With the blog comes a ready amount readers, as it is part of Sports Blog Net, a new website where a net of bloggers all get published at one spot for more readership.
Any money that you earn from the blog is split 50-50 with the owners as they purchased the domain name and do a lot of legwork.
So here is your chance to show your Cubs love and make some money while you are at it. Cubs fans, I am calling you to take this blog and make it better than ever before.

There is another passage which reads, "And when they shall
say unto you, seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep and
mutter: Should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?" What is
but table-rapping, and cabinet-hiding? If it was a message from God, do you think you
would have to go into a dark room and put out all the lights? In secret my Master taught
nothing. God is not in that movement, and what we want, as children of God, is to keep
ourselves from this evil. And then notice the verse following, quoted so often out of its
connection. "to the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this
word, it is because there is no light in them." Any man, any woman, who comes to us
with any doctrine that is not according to the law and the testimony, let us understand
that they are from the evil one, and that they are enemies of righteousness. They have no
light in them. Now you will find these people who are consulting familiar spirits, first
and last, attack the Word of God. They dont believe it. Still a great many people
say, you must hear both sides - but if a man should write me a most slanderous letter
about my wife, I dont think I would have to read it; I should tear it up and throw
it to the winds. Have I to read all the infidel books that are written, to hear both
sides? Have I to take up a book that is a slander on my Lord and Master, who has redeemed
me with His blood" Ten thousand times No; I will not touch it.

Mets' Plan for the OffseasonNovember 17, 2008
It's the Hot Stove season once again! For the 29 teams not the current World Champions, it's time to regroup and work out a plan to rise to the top of the mountain next year.
No need to relive the past two seasons for the Mets, we both know how it turned out—two September failures.
Anyway, time to move onto the 2009 season, in which the New York Mets will have a new home. Good-bye Shea Stadium. Hello Citi Field!
As far as the product on the field, there are a bunch of changes that are needed.
Obviously, the bullpen needs to be addressed.
Current free agents also would have to still be-resigned or replaced. Here are a few suggestions I think would be good for the Mets.
Sign Kerry Wood
The popular reliever to sign is Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez, at least if you ask the mainstream fan.
However, at age 27, and coming off a 62-save season, Rodriguez worries me a bit.
His peripherals have all dropped dramatically in recent years, and could end up a prime candidate for the Robbie Alomar syndrome Mets fans have experience all too much in the early part of this century.
I think Wood, while still obviously a risk, would come cheaper then Rodriguez, and hopefully continue upon the success he had last year as a closer in Chicago. He handled the rowdy Wrigley Field crowd, so I don't think New York would scare him.
Wood would be a change for the Mets, who are used to predominantly left handed closers in their history (Tug McGraw, Jesse Orosco, Randy Myers, John Franco, Billy Wagner). Which brings us to the estimated contract it would take—3 years/$35 million.
Sign Jeremy Affeldt
After a successful run in Cincinnati and Kansas City, Affeldt would be a nice addition to the Mets' bullpen.
A one-time swing-man between the pen and the rotation, Affeldt should be able to provide some much needed innings, and not just be more of a situational lefty like the present left-handers Scott Schoenweis and Pedro Feliciano provide.
Affeldt has no big-city experience, but being brought in as a complimentary piece rather then to be "the man," should allow Affeldt to hopefully be okay in New York. Estimated contract—3 years/$17.5 million.
Sign Juan Rivera
Manny Ramirez you say? Mark Texieria? Yes, they would be nice, but I don't think either one is realistic.
Signing Rivera would give the Mets a lot of flexibility, and a combination in the corner OF of David Murphy, Endy Chavez, Fernando Tatis, Juan Rivera and Ryan Church should give the Mets enough production to avoid the offensive struggles they had at times in the middle to bottom of the lineup the last two years. Estimated contract—2 years/$9 million.
Re-Sign Oliver Perez
Yes, they will have to overpay, but why not bring back Ollie?
His 0.31 ERA last year against the divisional rival Phillies is as good a reason as any. Ollie is frustrating for sure, because "he's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get" the rest of the year. But in a big game, I'd take him over most pitchers not named Johan Santana.
Unfortunately, dealing with Scott Boras won't be easy, and the Mets will likely have to give on the fourth year. Estimated contract—4 years/$48 million.
Sign Mark Grudzielanek
With Daniel Murphy and/or Luis Castillo as the potential second baseman, why not bring in a steady veteran like Grudzielanek to add some production from the right hand side?
Assuming Castillo is sent packing at some point in the season, Grudzielanek would give another option for manager Jerry Manuel to use against a tough lefty, and provide some production in either the two or seven hole of the batting order when called upon. Estimated contract—1 year/$1.5 million.
Bring In All the Arms You Can to Compete for a Bullpen Spot
If I was looking to upgrade my bullpen, I'd bring in as many arms as I could and have them compete for a spot in spring training.
The Mets have used this method for some success in the past, bringing in guys like Darren Oliver or Roberto Hernandez who were cast aside by other teams, only to have a bit of a resurgence in Queens.
Bring in guys like Chad Cordero and Mike MacDougal. Pitchers that have had talent, but for one reason or another, haven't been able to have success in the recent past.
You bring in enough candidates, you're likely to catch lightning in a bottle at least once.
Move Aaron Heilman to the Starting Rotation
This is a tough decision either way because Heilman has had great success in the bullpen.
However, he has recently suffered from a bit of wildness, and the propensity to throw the gopher ball. I think Heilman would be best served at this point by being made the No. 5 starter going into spring training.
I don't think it serves his or the Mets best interests to bring him back into a bullpen spot at this point. If that is the plan, he should be traded to another team, so he could start with a clean slate.
With all the moves suggested above, it would leave the Mets with the following lineup/pitching:
- Jose Reyes SS
- Daniel Murphy 2B
- David Wright 3B
- Carlos Beltran CF
- Carlos Delgado 1B
- Juan Rivera LF
- Ryan Church RF
- Brian Schneider C
- Pitcher
Bench: Grudzielanek, Ramon Castro, Fernando Tatis, Luis Castillo, Endy Chavez
- Johan Santana
- Mike Pelfrey
- Oliver Perez
- John Maine
- Aaron Heilman
- Kerry Wood (Closer)
- Jeremy Affeldt (set up)
- Joe Smith (set up)
- Duaner Sanchez (set up)
- Pedro Feliciano/Scott Schoenweis (whichever one isn't kept, the other one should be traded) (situational lefty)
- Bobby Parnell (set up)
- Jason Vargas (long man)
Obviously, each bullpen spot short of Wood, Affeldt and Smith would be up for grabs in spring training. These are just mere suggestions at this point, because I'm not certain of who would emerge.
I like the makeup of this team potentially, although Grudzielanek would not be a dependable back up SS, meaning at some point Castillo would have to be sent packing and an Alfredo Amezaga-type should be brought in that could back up at a lot of positions, as well as provide some speed off the bench.
What do you guys think about these suggestions?
I think they are somewhat realistic, they wouldn't break the bank for the Wilpons, and it wouldn't come across as cheap either in my opinion. It could then bring back smiles to the faces of GM Omar Minaya and Manager Jerry Manuel like in the picture above.

The stupidity of our government is breathtaking. I wash produce before eating it. That is a dramatically more sensible option than trying to keep birds, bunnies, squirrels, and for all we know bees from entering farmland. As for adding $30k to a farm's annual costs, I don't think anyone in the Obama Administration has even the slightest clue how economics works (unless they really are trying to destroy our economy).
And don't forget, the inheritance taxes are back now. Many large farms will have to be sold instead of inherited and farmed.

Input is a gen Blake's 7 anthology published in Canada. It has the subtitle: "An International Blake's 7 Fanzine."
There are four issues.
Some Flyers
General Reactions and Reviews
A good Canadian B7 zine, alas only four issues were done. Talent from all over the world.[1]
This zine has even more of an international flavor than most B7 zines, as indicated by the contributor bios in the back of each issue, which are marked with appropriate flags -- 4 to 5 per issue!
I especially like the stories in script form by Rebecca Reeves, and the newscasts in #3; the dry, deadpan humor of the stories by Ros Williams; the graphic story by Tim Pieraccini in #4; and "Circle of Life," also in #4. "Contagion" is another of Lorna's very grim stories. "Nothing Ever Goes as Planned" could have been in "Roads Not Taken", as it's an alternate Terminal. Hmm, I guess #4 is my favorite issue!
For Gan fans, the Sheila Paulson PGP story in #4 is strongly recommended, as is the story by David Hume in #1. And for Tarrant fans, there's wonderful angst in "Guardian Angel" (again, in #4). In fact, one of the special points of the zine is that it has a good balance in terms of the characters represented.
Also noteworthy are the interviews with the actors.The long series by J. Kel continues in Dark Between the Stars. I have mixed feelings about this one; I kind of like it (and some of my friends are enthusiastic about it), but I wish it had been more heavily edited. I'd love to sic Judith on it! It also strikes me as being sufficiently far removed from the aired canon that it might not be all that difficult to "file off the serial numbers" and market it as a pro SF novel; I wonder whether the author has ever considered that?

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1
Stories, poetry, a short play a la Samuel Beckett, limericks, selections from the Travis and the Mutoids Seceret (sic) songbook, two satisfyingly long interviews with Gareth Thomas and Sheelagh Wells respectively, and some ink drawings.
Overall the standard of writing is good, the stories imaginative and largely devoid of cliche. Some feature non-regular characters quite prominently. A long story by David E. Hume "Ring of Light and Secrets" features Gan and Vila, but principally Gan. An interesting story but the ending is perhaps a bit contrived. There is a good short Avon/Vila story "Trap" by Debra Bruce, and a well-maintained comic story "Oh Hell, it's Avon" by Rebecca Reeves. Other stories are by Ros Williams and Paul Delaney.This edition of Input is not one of my absolute favourites but only because I prefer a more substantial hurt/comfort content; it is a thought-provoking and individual zine, well worth reading.

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2
[Waiting]: Blakes7, notoriously, is a Novel Without Heroes, where the protagonists are morally ambiguous to one degree or another: a Terrorists and Criminal Team v. Minions of Tyranny matchup. This story, first published in the zine INPUT #2 in 1989, is now part of the Bang and Blame PGP archive. In this twisty and thought-provoking story, Avon and Vila have survived GP, the others haven't, and, as in so many PGPs, they're on the run. They turn the tables on the Federation officer guarding them (who isn't quite who he appears to be); there's only one gun, but Vila has it...but Avon has a knife....but Sleer is arriving...but Avon and Vila know who she is...and then there are those rebels....Vila doesn't exactly Save the Day, because it's past saving, but he does get sort of an apology for Malodaar (for what it's worth at this point), and sort of a demonstration about how it happened. Every plot twist is an essay question about how to survive in a world where Last Guys Don't Finish Nice--and about the value of survival as well as whether it's possible. [4]

While there is no single "normal" childhood experience, "normalcy" refers to the age- and developmentally-appropriate activities, experiences, and opportunities that comprise the daily lives of children and youth. Most importantly, normalcy means that youth grow up in the most family-like setting possible.
Normalcy for youth also can include participation in sports, organized teams or clubs; artistic endeavors such as choir and dance classes; community activities and volunteering; and social activities such as spending time with friends, sleep-overs, and travel. Youth in foster care often miss out on opportunities to build strong relationships with peers and supportive adults, to develop critical life and social skills, or to learn to manage increasing responsibility and independence.
There is general agreement that child welfare agencies and caregivers must facilitate the age-appropriate experiences that all youth need to successfully mature into adults. On September 29, 2014, the federal Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act (H.R. 4980) was signed into law. The Act includes a section devoted to "Supporting Normalcy for Children in Foster Care."1 This section requires child welfare agencies and caregivers to affirmatively promote youths' access to age-appropriate activities and empowers caregivers to give youth permission to participate in activities based on the reasonable and prudent parent standard. The law also promotes "normalcy" by expanding the current obligation to include youth in case planning and requiring the court to play an active role in ensuring that youth experience normalcy.2
To ensure that youth in substitute care experience "normalcy," Juvenile Law Center is:
1 P.L. 113-183, Section 111, 112.
2 P.L. 113-183 at Section 113.
Last updated: 2/10/2015
Enacted in September 2014, Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act—P.L. 113-183—will require states to provide youth in substitute care the opportunity to experience age-appropriate activities and opportunities similar to their peers who are not in care.
As of 2014, only five states—California, Florida, Ohio, Utah, and Washington—have legislation that requires and promotes "normalcy" for youth in care.
Extracurricular activities can improve academic achievement, reduce behavioral problems, and support healthy bonds with peers and adults.
|One of the most important lessons from our 40 years of experience is that children involved with the justice and foster care systems need zealous legal advocates. Your support for our work is more important now than ever before.

MySims, released on the Nintendo DS and Wii, is EA GamesŌĆÖ latest attempt to bring The Sims franchise to a new audience. While the Wii game looks to be reasonably well-rounded, the DS version has been touted as ŌĆśthe perfect portable companionŌĆÖ. ItŌĆÖs a subtle statement that implies that because the DS is a portable platform, we can settle for less. IŌĆÖm not so sure I agree: the Animal Crossing port to the DS from the GameCube is a perfect example of how a degree of complexity can be retained, even on a ŌĆślighterŌĆÖ platform. But IŌĆÖm digressing here.
MySims for the DS is all about reviving a town thatŌĆÖs down on its luck. Just about everyone has moved away, and there are only a few lonely losers (oops, I mean hopeful optimists) still holding the fort. Lucky for them, youŌĆÖve just arrived in town, and thanks to a few strategic beautifying techniques employed early in the game, the tourists start to trickle in.
ThatŌĆÖs what the game is about, really: entertaining tourists, making friends with the locals, and beautifying the town and the surrounding areas. For the most part this is achieved by a series of mini-games, including one where you have to guess the right type of conversation in order to improve a touristŌĆÖs mood. If you succeed, you earn some coin; if not, well, youŌĆÖre outta luck there. As you achieve certain milestones (measured in ŌĆśstarsŌĆÖ), large-scale events occur, such as the opening of a new section of the map.
The mini-games themselves are pretty varied and fun - if you like mini-games. ThereŌĆÖs racquetball, parasailing, fishing, lei-makingŌĆ" ten different games in all. Some of these have a point ŌĆō for example, if you achieve a certain rating in parasailing, it becomes more popular as people hear about it, and consequently increases tourist numbers in that area. At the same time, as with all mini-games, the fun only lasts for so long, and the fact you only get one ŌĆśgoŌĆÖ at a time leads to no end of frustration (for example, if you want to fish, you need to select the ŌĆśgo fishingŌĆÖ icon, then select ŌĆśyesŌĆÖ when you are asked ŌĆśdo you want to go fishing?ŌĆÖ, then select the fishing rod from your inventory, and read the instructions (even if you have done it before), before you are finally able to cast your lure. To make it even more frustrating, the controls arenŌĆÖt that responsive, meaning you can often wind up with nothing for your efforts, at which point you have to start all over again, or ultimately give up). Compared to Animal Crossing, where you simply equip your rod and then press a button to cast, MySims seems to employ needless fussing when really people just want to actually get on with the game.
Other comparisons to Animal Crossing are also obvious, unfortunately to the gameŌĆÖs detriment. The look and feel is of a slightly-boxier looking AC world, and even the furniture items look to be ported directly out of this title, as are the fish silhouettes. Like AC, MySimsŌĆÖ intent is to focus on the customisation of your little town, but the number and variety of items are so small that even collecting things gets old fast. Your character is given a house early on in the game, which you are then able to decorate to your heartŌĆÖs content ŌĆō but thereŌĆÖs no real reason for its existence: you can sleep in any bed in the game, and sleeping only serves to make the time go by faster. The complexity and wacky unpredictability of Animal Crossing is what is missing from MySims, which leaves you only withŌĆ"repetitive conversations with random tourists that change four times a day (but who can always be found in the same place every time), no real lasting relationships with any of the locals (they say the same thing again and again, ad nauseum), and clunky mini-games (the racquetball game and fishing in particular).
IŌĆÖve not had the chance to play the Wii version of this game, but from what I have read, it offers a far more complex and well thought-out environment. That said, I am disappointed with the latest trend, where what looks to be a great game on another platform is an ultimate disappointment on the DS. The fact that the DS is a portable console is no excuse for a lack of complexity; AC as well as the GameBoy Advance version of Harvest Moon are testaments to this ŌĆō and they didnŌĆÖt have to resort to mini-games to achieve greatness.

Yes, Kristin's correspondent on e-online said that they had broken up just before P-Lo's series aired. Maybe they patched things up, then, and are back together? That would be lovely.

I hate to admit it but the Charlie season was one of my favorites. I loved the way TPTB mixed it up.

Mine too, Snapit, and for the same reason. Complainers won out and TPTB went back to the tried and true and they tried and lost. The last two seasons were bland and blended in comparison. I prefer the bad girls to be bad and dimwitted hos to have hearts of gold and the true soul to capture the bachelor's heart.

I agree it was the best. It illustrated that you get a much more authentic experience when dating is reproduced more closely to our culture. It was casual and that created a more relaxed atmosphere.
Charlie's brother was on Jimmy Kimmel on 1/10/07 (and it wasn't a repeat), and he said Charlie and Sarah were together. It's available on youtube.

The Obama administration's recently re-imposed deepwater drilling moratorium is now reportedly stopping shallow-water drilling as well. The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources issued a release Tuesday showing that the moratorium has resulted in a near-total decline of approved shallow-water drilling permits:
Approved permits for shallow water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico have dropped significantly since the federal moratorium on deepwater drilling earlier this year, with only one approved new well permit so far in July. In the 11 months prior to the moratorium, the federal government approved an average of 14 permits per month in the Gulf of Mexico.
The first attempt at imposing the moratorium met outspoken resistance by Gulf coast residents. After federal courts threw out the first ban, the Obama administration regrouped and issued a new ban on July 12th, this time banning drilling regardless of water-depth. Ken Salazar said of the new ban:
Like the deepwater drilling moratorium lifted by the District Court on June 22, the deepwater drilling suspensions ordered today apply to most deepwater drilling activities and could last through November 30…the May 28 moratorium proscribed drilling based on specific water depths; the new decision does not suspend activities based on water depth, but on the basis of the drilling configurations and technologies.
According to Lafayette, Louisiana's The Advertiser these "configurations and technologies" are pretty much the same regardless of water-depth. "Since shallow-water wells often utilize floating drilling platforms," which is one of the key pieces of banned equipment, "the ban in fact applies to most shallow-water drilling."
While off-shore oil drilling is lurching to a standstill, there's plenty of fuel being added to the fire of outrage by Gulf coast residents being affected by the moratorium. A "Rally for Economic Survival" took place Wednesday at the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana, where it was attended by more than 11,000 local citizens who spoke with what Opelousas, Louisiana "Daily World" called "a remarkable degree of unanimity."
Speakers from across state and local government and industries declared that, "The Obama administration's six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling must be lifted before it does more damage to the region's economy — and to the nation's capacity to produce energy."
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal specifically highlighted the compounding effect of the shallow-water drilling ban:
New requirements for shallow-water drilling are causing permitting delays that could lead to significant additional economic impacts on top of those caused by the deepwater drilling moratorium. Shallow water OCS drilling activities support thousands of Louisiana jobs in addition to those related to deepwater activity.
Offshore drilling bans stretch far beyond simply hurting Louisiana. Dr. David Kreutzer and John Ligon report that the economic impact of a total offshore drilling ban could be nationally crippling. It would: 1) Reduce GDP by $5.5 trillion; 2) Reduce job growth by more than 1 million jobs by 2015 and more than 1.5 million jobs by 2030, and 3) Increase the total expenditures for imported oil by nearly $737 billion.
The Heritage Foundation remains on the scene in the Gulf states, surveying the devastating impact the misguided federal response has had so far. Citizens affected by the drilling moratorium are clamoring to get back to work, and fearful that they might not be able to if the administration continues to compound the damage done by the largest oil disaster to ever wreak havoc on our country.
Lifting the oil-drilling moratorium is priority number 1 on Obama's Oil Spill To-Do List, and there is so much more to be done.

Tochlight 2! But I won't play both games for a long time. D3 will be dead after 2 month, when the Bots have ruined the game.
Tochlight 2! But I won't play both games for a long time. D3 will be dead after 2 month, when the Bots have ruined the game.
I played Torchlight and found it to be rather bland and had a very cramped and rushed feel to it, to be fair i did not even even complete it.
To this day i still have diablo 2 on my drive and play it very often even with it being so over run with bots.
Diablo3 will be impressive, no doubt about that.
Titan Quest >>>>> Torchlight
When life gives you lemons, throw them back and say, "WTF life?"
I think neither of them is a true Diablo 2 successor. Torchlight is cartoony, and did not have a huge budget like Diablo 3 can benefit from, so it was a different game, not so dark. Torchlight 2 could enjoy a little more money and be darker, but I do not see that happening. I honestly did not like that direction, it did not look serious enough to me and had so many lightning effects that I felt like playing those low budget spaceship shooters with a lot a of colours!
As for Diablo 3, it is a completely different game, a lot more casual than Diablo 2 (which is not bad, it is just different). It does look more like Diablo 2 to some extent. However, a few things annoy me quite a bit: it is a lot brighter, even a simple weapon swing causes a lightning effect that I do not enjoy. I do not like how the stats / skills system works (I am not saying Diablo 2 was better, I just mean I do not like the way it is now!), and I think it is too flashy. Monks attacking fill the screen with lights, neon, it is like a nightclub sign, for instance. It is also very cartoony, which I do not like at all the way it is now, and I think it is very different from both Diablo 1 and 2 graphically.
To me, Torchlight is just another game with the same foundation, but it is not akin to Diablo series except for being the same genre. And Diablo 3 looks like a generic hack and slash game sharing the name of one of the most famous franchises ever released, but having little to no soul in it.
I am still waiting for a true successor.
This is the first I've heard of no talent trees in D3. That's pretty disappointing. I feel like it's just laziness because they feel like getting the product to market and don't want to have to deal with all the abilities and balancing. I was irked about the AH situation, and then I heard about the inability to enjoy the game offline. I virtually never played D2 online, but I got hundreds of hours of enjoyment out of it all by myself. I don't like this whole corporate movement of forcing people to register games and connect to the internet. It would be simple enough to just not allow single player characters to be imported to the online multiplayer environment.
This is one of the reasons I left Ultima Online. A larger company, EA, took over, and from there the soul of the development became corrupted. These feelings of resentment are developing within me once again, as Blizzard diverges from what they were and begins to become something different from the game maker I knew and loved. It's like a great toy maker ceasing to make great toys in favor of cheaper toys that are easier to mass produce. I'm sure alot of it is the fault of Activision, but the Devs are probably getting accustomed to slacking.
At this point I doubt I'll play either game. Neither honestly looks that great, they probably won't run well on my computer like the lagfest disappointment Starcraft 2, and most of my interest is driven by nostalgia for a game that was once ground breaking but is now common quality. I'm probably just going to take a pass.
I think both games will be great. Do not let a Torchlight or Diablo fan boys tell you differently.

Subscription-free access to BBC HD, ITV 1 HD and Channel 4 in England/S4C Clirlan in Wales – as well as the other 50 or so standard-def Freeview channels – is the primary aim, and skill, of the FHD1.
Programme information for ITV 1 HD reveals which programmes are in native HD and which are in upscaled SD, though the FHD1 is reasonably talented at upscaling – to 1080p, no less – all by itself.
If the interface is generally user-friendly, the pictures are something of a love-in. It's not just HD channels that impress – standard-def programmes are upscaled well, with little blocking or feathered edges. The BBC HD channel, meanwhile, is pin-sharp with enticing smooth motion and comfortable camera pans.
A run-through of Jools Holland on BBC HD shows-up some lusciously bright and bold colours with barely a flicker or smudge when the camera rushes across the stage. Spotlights, shadows and tiny details such as hair are superbly rendered. We spotted just a little picture noise in backgrounds.

Web Exclusives: Tooke's Take
a PAW web exclusive column by Wes Tooke '98 (email: email@example.com)
November 6, 2002:
One for the Road
After 43 columns, it's a wrap
Two and a half years ago, when I was young
and foolish, I agreed to write a bimonthly column for this site.
I took the job partially because I liked
the editor and partially because I figured that it was a good short-term
way to make a little extra cash.
I also figured that "short-term"
was the operative expression in fact, in that first column
I wrote that the over/under on how many editions I would produce
before I got sacked was six. And I wasn't kidding. It's now been
43 columns, give or take a diatribe, since I started.
I have written from Boston, San Francisco,
New Orleans, Tahoe, Berkeley, Houston (Missouri, that is), Los Angeles,
and Monterey. Some of the columns have been good; some should be
publicly burned by brave women wearing biohazard suits.
Looking back through the archives, I am
mostly surprised that I was able to find 43 different subjects that
were even tangentially related to Princeton. Occasionally I repeated
myself: basketball made several appearances, as did my regular pot
shots at Nassau Hall and the board of the PAW. Over the last six
months my repeat ratio rose as I found myself increasingly disconnected
from Princeton, and I began to wonder how I could gracefully draw
the column to a close. The answer, of course, is that you just stop.
So I'm stopping.
In the unlikely event that your life is going
to be ruined by a dearth of Tooke, you can preorder my forthcoming
novel on Amazon. The title is Ballpark Blues, the publisher
is Doubleday, the release date is March, and the price is reasonable.
I would also suggest counseling.
Writing for the Internet has been a fascinating
experience, and thank you to all those who took the time to e-mail
me over the last two and a half years. The biggest problem with
publishing online is that you never have any sense of your audience,
and your letters were often the only evidence that anyone was finding
the page.
Many thanks also to my editor, Lolly O'Brien,
who was exactly the kind of supportive voice that every writer dreams
of having.
Before I go on too long, both in this column
and in this job, it is time to say goodbye. May we meet again, either
in person or on the page. All best Wes (C. W.) Tooke

Risks and Food Safety in a Global Economy
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Environmental Science. Please check back later for the full article.
In recent years, a number of food safety incidents in Europe and East Asia have led to concerns about threats to the environment and human health. In this context, the significance of a re-evaluation of risks with regards to food safety is essential, which includes re-visiting Western risk theories advanced by Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens. The dimensions of risks and food safety are four-fold.
First, major incidents, such as the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan in 2011 and the melamine crisis in China in 2008, have impacted the perception of food safety among consumers. These incidents led to fears of an increase of food safety incidents and to a collapse of trust in established brand products and technologies in post-industrial societies. It is necessary, therefore, to re-assess the risks of utilizing future-oriented technologies and mass food production systems.
Second, the use of genetically modified organisms in food products and the consumption of food additives have produced new food-related risks. This underlines the significance of risk assessment, in particular, as "reflexive modernization" requires individuals to familiarize themselves with new and possibly harmful food technologies and to assess, manage, and avoid risks on their own responsibility and on a highly personalized basis.
Third, various food-related incidents, such as the case of imported poisoned dumplings in Japan in 2008, have triggered the emergence of civil engagement in the form of consumer education initiatives. Both governmental and non-governmental initiatives stress the significance of locality, providence, and food heritage preservation as a way to ensure and maintain food safety and balanced nutritional habits. In other words, the notion of locality is linked to the desire to minimize the risk.
Fourth, poor individual eating habits, as self-imposed risks, have attracted scholarly attention. Food education initiatives in European and Asian nations seek to strengthen the culinary competence of individuals and embrace national staple foods and local food specialties at the same time. Efforts to provide adequate information about nutrition and to counter the rise of health conditions such as obesity and diabetes often coincide with a return to conservative gender perceptions and family values. This calls for new forms of culinary education that take the demands of working parents, individualized work schedules, and dining outside the home into consideration.

NORWALK, Ohio --
Beginning in 2011, 10 tracks in three Canadian provinces and four U.S. states will begin immediate competition in Division 6 with the Summit SuperSeries grassroots racing series. Each track will be eligible to compete in the Summit Team Finals which will be held next season at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta.
"After meeting with these tracks and figuring out what was most important for them, we quickly realized that our sportsman programs really lined up with the goals of these tracks," said Skooter Peaco, IHRA VP of Race Operations. "Focusing on sportsman racing and the opportunity the Summit SuperSeries and Summit Team Finals brings to this region is unprecedented.
"It is a big step for us as we continue to grow IHRA's footprint. It further solidifies IHRA as the sanction organization of record in Canada, which is great, but most importantly it opens up a whole new dimension to our sportsman programs and creates opportunity for tracks and competitors in that region to create a division and programs that work for them.
"The opportunity to start a new division doesn't come along every day and we are proud that these tracks chose IHRA due to our commitment to sportsman racing programs."
The inclusion of the new division is a big step forward for the IHRA as it expands beyond its traditional borders and further cements its status as the sanctioning body of choice in Canada. Division 6 will also give tracks in the western portion of North America a chance to partake in the top grassroots racing program in the country.
The newly formed division will consist of Castrol Raceway and Race City Motorsports Park in Alberta, Gimli Motorsports Park in Manitoba, Thunder Mountain Raceway, Prince George Motorsports Park and Nl'akapxm Eagle Motorplex in British Columbia and Rocky Mountain Raceways, Alaska Raceway Park, Magic City International Dragway and Philips County Motorsports Dragstrip in the United States.
"Forming this new division has been in the making for two years and it is great to finally see it come to life," said Phil Gingerich, IHRA Director of Track Development. "This will provide the west coast exposure to the benefits of IHRA racing and could result in more new tracks joining in the future."
IHRA officials also haven't ruled out the possibility of expanding the division to include the Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am series in the near future. For now, however, the focus is on getting the founding tracks of the new division up and running as members of the Summit SuperSeries and continue to grow the division over the next few years.
"This is a huge step and we want to make sure we deliver the programs that these member tracks want," Peaco said. "We're looking forward to the Summit SuperSeries growing by leaps and bounds in that region, as well as presenting that first every Summit Team Finals Ironman to the inaugural champions."
For more information on the new division or to learn more about the Summit SuperSeries racing program, please visit www.ihra.com.

Saying Sorry @ RomanceClass -
My heart really has only one very sad spot in it
I'm sorry you don't realize it... But, arrogance has to match with arrogance.
If you can't see how much I adore you and want you a part of my life; then I don't know what to say. But know one thing; My heart really has only one very sad spot in it. It's that part that has your name on it. Which is the same place that is saddened because you're not here. I adore you and I think I love you. I don't know how I could ever express myself to you more.

Bisbee's mighty tug of war
In December 1903, handbills began appearing around Bisbee announcing a mighty tug-of-war competition. Tug-of-war was popular in the early 1900s, particularly in the rough and ready mining towns of the West, where a man's strength and brawn was a measure of his success.

242,500 Brita Water Filter Bottles For Kids Recalled
It's always scary when a recalled item happens to be the same one you use daily. In this case it was for one of the bottles that my daughter uses daily. 242,500 Brita Water Filter bottles for kids have been recalled as the lid can break into pieces with sharp points, posing a laceration hazard.
The four recalled children's water bottles have popular cartoon characters on a hard-sided plastic bottle. Characters and bottle colors include Dora the Explorer®, violet; Hello Kitty®, pink; SpongeBob Square Pants®, blue; and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles®, green.
The bottles stand 6 inches tall, hold 15 ounces of liquid, have white lids that screw off and have fold-up straws and filters that sit inside the straw below the lid. Each bottle bears a Brita logo and features the image of a popular children's cartoon character. The removable plastic wrap on the bottle at time of purchase has the model number BB07 and the following UPC codes: 60258-35883 on the Dora the Explorer, 60258-35914 on the Hello Kitty, 60258-35880 on the SpongeBob Square Pants and 60258-35882 on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Brita has received 35 reports of lids breaking or cracking. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and contact Brita to receive a postage-paid shipping package to return the bottles for a full refund.
Sold at
The bottles sold for about $13 to $19 between February 2014 and July 2014. Call Brita at (800) 926-2065 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or go to www.brita.com and click "Safety Recall" for more information.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Youngstown State University senior Megan Evans recently teamed with the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation to find out how low-income people are affected by home ownership.
Evans is a triple major in linguistics, English and sociology, the field she was recognized in.
At the annual Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology Conference, the Boardman High School graduate won top honors for her report, "The Assessment of Home Ownership on the Lives of Low-Income Individuals." The report received the Best Undergraduate Research Award.
She explained the results of her nationally recognized research.
"We're still in the process of analyzing all the data but what we did is we went to YNDC and we looked at the two different programs they have going on," Evans said.
One program offers affordable home ownership to low-income individuals in Youngstown. The other is HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) approved housing and financial counseling.
"We wanted to see if that counseling, in and of itself, before the home ownership, affected the aspirations and expectations of the low-income individuals of Youngstown," she said. "And also how home ownership, once they already had that chance to own their homes, how that in turn affected their aspirations and expectations."
Because these programs are still fairly new to YNDC, Evans said they didn't have a large sample size, only 27 people participated.
"As a result of that, we didn't get statistically significant data but we did find with the data we do have that both the homeowners as well as the counseling participants did have relatively high aspirations. So, it was very encouraging," she said.
Evans is excited about receiving top honors at the national convention.
"It was actually the second year in a row that I received the award, so it was exciting to be able to get recognition for some of the work I'm doing on Youngstown, essentially with sociology," she said.
Evans said it's only the beginning of the project and that she plans to continue her research.
"We are still analyzing the results and so we're going to try and get a publishable paper out of it. One great thing that has already happened is that YNDC, because they're able to say that there are researchers looking at their program, they're able to get more funding for their HUD approved housing counseling,"
At YSU, Evans is a member of the Honors College, president of the Honors Trustees and co-founder of the Poverty Awareness in Youngstown Initiative.

I don't think they're required by Policy or the ftpmasters. At least the pkg-perl team is using Maintainer/Upstream-Contact. I don't think they use Name/Upstream-Name. It's reasonable to expect the package description to mention the upstream name if it differs from the Debian package name, and that would make Upstream-Name somewhat unnecessary. If pkg-perl, and perhaps others, are going to be using a field to keep track of the upstream contact information anyway, it makes sense to have a standard way of doing that. So I'd like to keep Upstream-Contact. Anyone else have an opinion on this? That is, should we drop Upstream-Name or not? Anyone opposed to keeping Upstream-Contact? (The fields will, obviously, be optional, if we keep them in the spec.)

From rock n roll to rolling lands: London has it all
Published 8:00 pm, Sunday, September 10, 2006
Sent: Aug. 3, 2006
Subject: England
From London, we took the train north to Liverpool where we stayed with and were shown around by Graham and Margaret, the couple we met in Fremantle, Australia. Being a huge Beatles fan like my dad, I was very excited to be in the hometown of the Fab Four.
On our first day there, Graham and Margaret took us to The Beatles Story, an incredible, informative, and moving display that tracks the history of the band members from birth to the present.
I highly recommend visiting this if you're a Beatles fan. After learning all about their rise to stardom at the museum, we walked around visiting the old clubs and pubs the Beatles played in as they became popular.
I had a really good time seeing all this. After that we went to the Maritime Museum and learned about Liverpool's major roll in the slave trade and the transport of immigrants to America. We saw the Royal Liver Building on Liverpool's waterfront and the old warehouses around Albert Dock that have been redesigned into shops and restaurants. We visited the Gothic-style Anglican Cathedral and the very modern-looking Roman Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King.
The next day, Graham and Margaret drove us up into England's beautiful Lake District. We spent the day hiking through the green hillsides with the grazing sheep and amazing stone fences. The lakes were so blue and the countryside was lush and rolling with spectacular scenery. We were lucky enough to have nearly professional guides, as Graham and Margaret both regularly lead walking tours of the Lake District to groups. It was a bit nerve racking for all of us driving up there on the narrow, one-lane, curvy, hilly roads, but we made it safely and got an excellent view of rural northern England. While there, we also saw the home of famous children's literature author and creator of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter, and the home of the romantic poet, William Wordsworth.
Graham and Margaret also live right on the shore, so every evening when we returned home, Jai and I would walk out to the beach and watch the tide go out and the sun start to set before going indoors for a good and nutritious home-cooked meal.
The next day, Graham and Margaret thankfully drove us down to West Bromwich, which saved us the very expensive train trip, because they were on their way to Birmingham anyway to visit their son. They dropped us off at Grey's house where we stayed for five days with him and his son, John. Grey had taken the week off work in order to show us a good time. Finding our way to their house was an adventure as the directions Grey gave me included no street names, approximate distances, or geographical directions. Driving there became a game of 'pot the Pub as the directions went somewhat as follows: "Go straight down the road past the Brunswick Pub until you get to the Stone Cross Pub and make a right. At the Crown and Anchor Pub, make a left and then go straight. My house is the second one past the Jingler Pub on the left."
We went out for a day into Birmingham where I made Jai and Grey go into every store, much to their dismay, looking for a real English, fine-China tea set that I wanted to buy for my brother and his wife as a wedding gift. We went to the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Chad, commonly called the Lichfield Cathedral, which is a Gothic-style church with three spires built in the late 12th century. We went to the Black Country Living Museum, which is similar to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, or Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Mass. The Living Museum recreates a small working village as it would have been during the 19th and early 20th centuries complete with general store, school house, cobbler's shop and blacksmith shop, to name a few of the buildings people can visit there and see what life was like in this area 100 years ago. This area of England is called the Black Country because of all the coal that was mined here and burned here in factories during the industrial revolution. The entire area is still called the Black County today. We also went and saw the Ironbridge, which marks the birthplace of the industrial revolution. The Ironbridge was the first thing built using cast iron, and it gave rise to many other structures and items made from cast iron that were necessary for industry. The entire bridge was originally put together without using any rivets or usual modern connecting devices. It was put together like wooden bridges were built at the time by using notching (like the corners of a log cabin) rather than nails because that is what the people knew at the time. The pieces of the bridge were cast to fit through each other and next to each other like a puzzle. It's quite an amazing structure.
Staying with Grey and John was laid back and comfortable and kind of like being back in college again. Jai was in heaven playing video games with John all day. We drank beer, went out to pubs, and even went to a David Bowie cover band concert at a small local venue. We watched football, and unfortunately, England lost their World Cup match this time. We ate proper curry (Grey's favorite) and loads of fried egg sandwiches. We also went out for a Great British Breakfast complete with black pudding, which I liked until I found out what it was. Grey told me that black pudding is pig's blood, and I quickly and disgustedly passed on a second helping.
Everything was extremely expensive in England. Marked prices were similar to those in the United States, but they were in British pounds rather than U.S. dollars, so everything was at least twice as much as we were used to paying. For example, entrance to Westminster Abbey was 10 pounds a piece, which would have been a lot comparatively anyway considering that St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and Notre Dame in Paris were free but $20 a person to enter a church is ridiculous! We can't complain too much, however, because doing touristy things on our own were the only times we spent money.
All three of the wonderful families we stayed with covered all the other expenses that Jai and I could have had, such as housing costs, food, drinks, laundry, Internet, parking and transportation. Jai and I are very grateful to Brian, Jenny, Laura, Graham, Margaret, Grey, and John for letting us share their homes with them and for taking us out and showing us a great time and especially for footing the expenses for everything. We had an excellent time and are truly thankful for all you did.
On our last day, Grey drove us to the Birmingham airport and dropped us off, so we could fly out to Ireland for the next leg of our journey.

I listen to it and I just kind of confide in certain people and I mush together everything. ...
After reading your nonsensical rant, I seriously doubt that anyone would "confide" in you again!
The signal-officer explained that the word "confide" would have to be spelt, and suggested instead the word "expects," as that was in the vocabulary.
Further, while the Lord will be the Sanctuary of such as confide in these promises and await their fulfilment, He will drive to confusion, darkness, and despair the vast multitude of the nation who despised His oracles, and, in their anxiety and distress, betook themselves to the lying oracles of the heathen.
This also is aggravated by some * unprofessional* colleagues who "confide" in students about the "limitations" of others.
These panic attacks get worse and worse but our hero won't confide in his wife.
Michael Giltz: Cannes 2011 Day Five: Can Cannes Handle A Truly Fun Film? "The Artist" Debuts
Its a pity that he could not confide in her though: it sounds like he was afraid of failing her, and instead of being a man and talking to her, he went after the first skirt that he saw.
Never make your self-worth dependent on them or confide your deepest feelings to them.
She leaned forward, as if prepared to confide news of a delicate nature.
If you are not someone who likes to journal, confide in a safe friend.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Sotomayor's confirmation
The Brilliance of Nominating Sotomayor
Today, President Barak Obama announced his pick to replace Justice Souter on the US Supreme Court. This person is Judge Sonia Sotomayor, a judge on the 2nd Court of Appeals. While it is hard to say whether this is a good choice, it is a brilliant nomination choice for.
1> President Obama has chosen a nominee that will have little-to-no opposition from the Democratic majority in the Senate.
2> While Justice Souter is a moderate-to-liberal justice, Obama is basically setting up a more liberal stance with a younger judge that can be on the Supreme Court for at least 18-25 years. This can also set Sotomayor up for Chief Justice because of her potential longevity in the Supreme Court.
3> The race/sex card. While it is often repeated and emphasised that her nomination is not based on sex/race, everyone knows that this is a card that will be played. Anyone who brings up either sex or race will set themselves up for being labeled sexist or racist, tarnishing their reputation. While sex/race/religion should not make a difference, we would be ignorant to not understand how this can be used by both sides, and with the Republicans/Conservatives in the minority in the Senate, this will certainly be brought up to discredit their opposition to Sotomayor.
4> Opposing opinion states that Sotomayor is an 'activist' judge, and would possibly be a justice that legislates from the bench. However, I think that if this is her style, then Obama may be setting up the start of a Supreme Court that harkens back to the days of the Warren Court.
While I have yet to voice my personal opinion about Sotomayer's nomination, I wanted to visit the reasonings behind the appointment, which are sure to ensure Sotomayor's appointment as a Supreme Court Justice.

The driver went the length of 233rd Street before crashing into construction materials. Surveillance video shows four people getting out of the minvan and taking off in different directions.
The driver, 22-year-old Henry Lawrence of the Bronx, surrendered to police Saturday night. He has been charged with murder and related offenses.
"I'm glad they arrested him. But there's still more," said the victim's friend, Raymond Velez.
Police are still searching for the remaing three suspects. They all survived the crash, but the man they hit on the sidewalk, 32-year-old Derrick Callender did not.
"What am I going to tell his kids? What do you want me to tell his kids now?" relative Andre Sanchez told Eyewitness News, "he was a good father to his kids."
Callender had two kids, ages two and nine. He was run over just feet from his front door. He died at Montefiore Hospital.
Neighbors and friends left candles at the spot where he was hit. Police say the erratic driving that led to Callender's death stemmed from a dispute someone in the minivan had with a clerk at the liquor store next to Callender's building.
Investigators say the clerk refused to serve alcohol to one of the van's occupants because he was behaving strangely. After that fight, security video shows two people running towards the minivan. When they get in, the Toyota pulls a sharp and dangerous u-turn on White Plains Road and then speeds towards the liquor store.
Relatives say Callender would have celebrated his 33rd birthday on Monday.
Police are looking for several other passengers who you can see jumping inside the van in surveillance video.
As their search continues, this memorial continues to grow. People in the neighborhood have been leaving money in the bucket for the family.
