The Senate is On the Brink of Becoming Functional
Gerard N. Magliocca
The Majority Leader announced yesterday that he is ready to change the rules to end filibusters on executive branch nominees unless the Republicans vote for cloture on many of the President's pending nominees (including his picks to the National Labor Relations Board who, if confirmed, would almost certainly moot the Supreme Court's review of the recess appointments in Noel Canning). The Senate is going to have a group therapy session in the Old Senate Chamber on Monday night that may result in a deal, but something is going to give.
"Simply saying that any executive branch nominee can be confirmed with 51 votes, though, is not the right answer."
That isn't going to happen. The candidates are still going to "appear before the relevant committee and that the minority party would have a period of time to ask questions and review documents."
When it will be "used to ram people through without any process at all" in any consistent way, get back to me. Seriously. do you think that actually is going to happen? The response here is not somehow out of the blue nor will the resulting process going to be applied by sorts who would be so willy-nilly. Democratic senators for one thing will not accept such lack of power to review certain nominees that concern them for some such reason.
The time limit proposal is a fine one, but we don't need to assume things that won't happen to help guide us to that point.
One reason, btw, it won't happen is there are procedural means to gum up the works if such a thing is tried. Not that I'm holding my breath regarding the rules being changed anyway. The football was moved away enough times, thank you Lucy.
After all, there used to be an "understanding" that executive branch nominees were not filibustered.
It is "possible" as a matter of raw power now. Lots of things are "possible." It matters more on what is likely, including when determining the "essence" of his proposal.
Also, do you have a link to the proposal in question or any discussion of what it means, including the understanding that regular committee review of nominees will be skipped when 51 senators say so?
When you say it will moot Noel Canning, what would be the exact mechanism?
If the Senate confirms a nominee to a particular body, surely that doesn't retroactively legitimate an otherwise illegitimate recess appointment? Wouldn't it take legislation to do that, legislation that surely would not pass the House?
Or do you think the Court would just summarily remand with orders to re-remand back to the now fully staffed Board?
The Democrats have made this threat multiple times in the past and never carried through. I wonder if they even have a majority from their own caucus who would vote to give up this power. After all, majorities come and go.
The Democrats would be fools if they retained the filibuster so that they could use it if they are in the minority one day. This is because they would not use it, except on rare occasions. The reason they would not use it may be labeled as wimpishness, as wanting to play by the unwritten rules, as wanting the government to be able to function--whatever you label it, they are just not willing to play as dirty as the Republicans, and they ought to recognize that.
Consider the following scenario the Dems are facing:
The Senate is filled with Dems who represent states purple to red states run by the GOP. They could very well lose the Senate in the next two cycles, especially if this depression drags on.
If we follow the general pattern over the past quarter century, after a two term president, the White House goes back to the other party.
Now you have a GOP president who may be appointing Ginsberg's successor with a maybe a pro life conservative.
Is losing the filibuster worth packing the NLRB and the DC Circuit???
Bart, how about retaining the filibuster only for Supreme Court justices, or only for all lifetime positions? For such positions, the identity of the President's party should matter less than it does for executive branch positions. Better yet, amend the Constitution to limit justices' terms, but that's another matter.
"Permission" for a six-month delay simply guarantees more dysfunctionality in staffing the Executive branch, already at a high level because of the ridiculous time spent with FBI checks and the like. Let the majority ram through whomever they want. If they are problematic appointees, we can count on the press, especially these days, to bring their deficiencies to our notice and put pressure on the President to fire them.
Incidentally, I do think the strongest justification for the filibuster is with regard to lifetime appointments. But there is no justification, zero, nada, for allowing the minority to filibuster ordinary presidential appointments, especially if they can in fact make recess appointments. After all, John Bolton did get to the UN, in spite of a Democratic filibuster.
Henry said...Bart, how about retaining the filibuster only for Supreme Court justices, or only for all lifetime positions?
I personally would get rid of the filibuster altogether. The Constitution creates a very nice set of checks and balances requiring an effective supermajority to enact substantial change. Adding a filibuster to that is a bit much.
I was merely expressing my doubts that either party in the Senate really wants to get rid of that power.
There are a number of possible reforms to Senate rules that might improve the confirmation process and/or enhance the Senate's authority to give "advice" as well as "consent." But the issue at hand is not whether some reforms would be desirable; it is whether a simple majority can legally change the rules. Professors Magliocca and Levinson told the Senate in December that the majority could only change the rules on the first day of the new Congress. A number of senators professed to believe this at the time. Is this legal position now "inoperable"?
Nobody is "packing" any court or regulatory body. The President is STAFFING, exercising his Constitutional responsibility. The Senate is refusing to engage in their responsibility, and using demagoguery to deflect blame for their intransigence. All nominees deserve a full hearing and an up or down vote. The filibuster is repugnant to the Constitution, in that it inserts a supermajority requirement when the Constitution has not required it.
I agree with Bart on both his points. If I were designing our governmental framework I would not have something like the filibuster. Having said, the Democrats would be a bit nuts to get rid of it especially now when they are facing an election with great potential to flip the Senate.
Don Smith said: Nobody is "packing" any court or regulatory body. The President is STAFFING, exercising his Constitutional responsibility.
A president can constitutionally pack a court or agency with his or her cronies.
Ever since the voters fired the Democrat House and the Democrat Senate did their best to avoid voting on progressive legislation to get reelected, Obama has largely ruled by decree through the bureaucracy.
When he unconstitutionally packed it the first time with union hacks, the NLRB imposed by fiat what the Democrats refused to do in Congress or most states.
With a divided elected government, the only check on the bureaucracy has been the courts, primarily the DC Circuit. Thus the bid to load up that circuit with judges who will rubber stamp bureaucratic decrees.
The Senate Democrats would not be making all this noise to intimidate the GOP unless these appointments were important to achieving their goals.
The Dems are not trying to end the filibuster here. They are trying to ease the way for non-judicial nominations. As Prof. Levinson noted, even John Bolton got his job. Dems managed to block a few judicial nominees. Big deal.
The end of the filibuster totally might matter, though even there it is hard to see how much good that did during the Bush Administration. Likewise, the people seem to be sick of how things are going in D.C. Supporting delay is unproductive in the long run.
It is "legal" to change the rules. The text of the Constitution gives each body the right to set rules of procedure. There is a common law practice of doing it a certain way, but such practice by design and practice develops over time, including as practice changes around it. Things are "professed" and then things change.
The letter referenced doesn't actually clearly say they "cannot" change the rules & with respect I don't think that is Prof. Levinson's at least position.
It said:
"The standing two-thirds requirement for altering the Senate's rules is a sensible effort at preventing changes to the rules in the midst of a game."
It was supported as a "sensible effort" which is a curiously flexible way to say it is "illegal" not to do it.
In that understanding, practice is cited: "The two-thirds rule is constitutional to the extent that it ensures Senate procedures will not be manipulated during a legislative session to the detriment of the minority."
But, what does that mean? Reid et. al. argues that the minority abused its privilege. It therefore would not be "detrimental" to alter the rules in the way suggested as a means of redress.
The whole thing is a matter of prudence and a political question for the Senate to decide. The term "illegal" is being used somewhat loosely. If anything, e.g., it might be deemed "illegal" to block NLRB nominees for reasons other than their own merit, if the term is used so loosely.
The professors can correct me if I in any way misinterpreted their understanding.
" but it could also be used to ram people through without any process at all."
That is a feature, not a bug, from Reid's perspective.
By the way, I would gladly abolish the filibuster, were we to institute some other reforms, to assure that a debate over nominees actually takes place, instead of them being rammed through without debate. (Which is the actual purpose here.)
Genuine enforcement of the quorum requirement, for instance, to put an end to votes held with as few as three Senators present. Just make every last vote a roll call vote, (Easily accomplished electronically.) so as to preserve the evidence of a lack of quorum. And why not? The Constitution actually does demand a quorum, even if the courts refuse to enforce this demand.
Abolish enrolled bill doctrine, so that the two houses have to have actually voted through the same bill, instead of simply having the leadership claim that such happened. Again, another constitutional demand that the courts refuse to enforce.
And dispense with the pretense that a dead house bill amended to replace everything but the "HR" number is actually a bill originating in the House. Likewise.
Institute these reforms, and I'd be glad to get rid of the filibuster. Not gonna happen. Congressional leaders think the Constitution is too much of a drag to comply with.
Joe- I read the legal scholar letter as saying that the nuclear option can only be used on the first day of a new Congress. Professor Magliocca agrees. So does Senator Harkin, who cited it for that proposition on the floor of the Senate in January.
If Professor Levinson has a different view, I would be interested to hear it.
It is apparent that is your reading mls, but it does not appear to me to be so cut and dried & if nothing else, it leaves things open to change, which is the ultimate nature of such common law (in effect) principles.
Brett, there is no apparent actual evidence that Sen. Reid expects or even wants nominees not to go to committee first etc.
Typical Senate kabuki theater.
They kept the filibuster and dropped votes on some sacrificial lamb nominees in exchange for votes on everyone else.
This deal was probably cut a month ago and the rest was low information voter fodder.
so that the two houses have to have actually voted through the same bill, instead of simply having the leadership claim that such happened. Again, another constitutional demand that the courts refuse to enforce.cheap fifa coins elo boosting cheapest fifa 14 coins cheap elo boostPost a Comment

There was quite a few people complaining about most pacts being useless and consensus being too usefull...
You are now no longer precluded from selecting a Pact after picking consensus (though if you pick a Pact you cannot pick consensus, so order matters).
Body, Warrior, and Scholar's Pact are fine in my view. Alchemist Pact is mediocre but not entirely useless. Spirit Pact is the one that's the problem; haven't used it at all since the Orc was changed to a non-stacking progression.
Part of the reason that Earthmother and JJ aren't regarded as highly (at least among the forumites) is, IMO, that they lack that kind of symbiotic relationship with particular classes.
Rogue works well with both of these. It's just that the GG overshadows them in this department.

- If you have heard a million times that size does not matter, one can agree with that in certain situations. But have you ever heard women saying that the quality of erection is not a characteristic of a lover that matters? Absolutely no, sir. That's because every woman dreams of a man who is able to quickly achieve and maintain erection for as long as it is needed for her to be completey satisfied.
- If you still cannot boast such ability in bed, or worse than that – you feel like you are losing your sexual stamina – it is high time you started thinking about these matters before it's too late! Anyway, here is some great news for everybody who after all thinks that size matters – those blue erectile dysfunction pills work in both directions, helping you to achieve and maintain stone hard erection and enlarging your penis.
- If you have questions as for how it all works we will be happy to answer at leas few of them. To begin with, erectile dysfunction pills block certain receptors in your blood that impede corpora cavernosa hollows found in your penis from diluting. This done, the pills start giving those hollows in your penile tissues accept as much blood as they possibly can, pushing those limits to unbelievable previously unexperienced levels.
- As a result of this you achieve fantastically strong erection by way of boosting your blood circulatioin in penile tissues that eventually brings to overall enlargment of your penis size. Finally, your penile tissues become ten times more sensitized than they normally are – you will feel every single stimulation as acutely as if you experienced them for the very first time!
- Those magic pills are a true innovation and reinvention of your sexuality potentials. Find out how good you can be in bed no matter how old you are – extreme pleasure is guaranteed for you and your loved one! Faster recharges, total control over the length of the sexual act and increased size – what other characteristics of a perfect lover can women wish for?

Price range templates[edit]
As you're quickly moving Buffalo towards star status, you might want to take a look at Template:Eatpricerange and Template:Sleeppricerange as they are useful in articles when sections have been split into price ranges. See Singapore for a sample implementation. Also - nice work! -- Ryan • (talk) • 16:59, 30 January 2012 (EST)
Since unsolicited advice is my forte, I thought I would make a recommendation for when you start the districting process for Buffalo: focus on two things: first and most importantly, refilling the main article's see, do, buy, eat, drink, and sleep sections with overview information and pointers to the appropriate district articles, and second, creating an understand section for each new article. I can certainly pitch in with moving content around, but it takes an expert to do the two aforementioned tasks well, and they are really crucial for making a districted guide work. --Peter Talk 23:23, 15 February 2012 (EST)

Hi, Andre. Many thanks for your meticulous work on the Nevyansk article. I took the liberty of making a couple of small changes in places where the intended meaning was distorted. But in general your style changes are great! I wish I could master it myself =) Atsirlin 06:10, 26 July 2012 (EDT)
Re: Maps on the Rochester article[edit]
I was thinking the same thing and was kind of gearing up to work on it. Creating maps is an art form of sorts, one that takes a bit of trial and error to get right. I still don't feel like I've gotten my maps to be as useful as User:Peterfitzgerald's, but I do what I can. Check out shared:User:LtPowers/Gallery#Maps if you'd like to see more examples of the maps I've worked on.
For your edification, we have a Wikitravel:Mapmaking Expedition for those of us making maps; you may find some tips and get an idea for how we got to the current state of the art there and on its talk page. But your information central, with the most detailed instructions, is at Wikitravel:How to draw a map. I strongly recommend starting with an Open Street Maps map, as detailed on that page, as the alternative can be very tedious.
Those pages should get you started; feel free to drop a message on either page's talk page if you have any questions (not that I mind you contacting me directly, but the other mapmakers may have additional insights and/or respond more quickly).

As for Moon, I agree it was one of Kanno's stronger song efforts, though I think the general opinion is actually a bit split compared to some of her other works such as Macross Plus or Escaflowne songs (then again, Turn A was largely a love it or a hate it thing with Gundam fans due to its incredible uniqueness. Even the way the OST was composed by Kanno was a bit unconventional in its light tone compared to the more militaristic tone of just about all the other Gundam or Macross show).
As for the whole 'hearing the music with the series', I have to disagree with that personally. I listened to the Turn A tracks way before watching it whole and I thought it stood for itself. Ditto to a lot of Kajiura/Toshihiko stuff (I never even knew what Seed was until after listening to an OST. Then catching it all up).
Of course, I watched Macross Plus and was introduced to the music that way. Just different eras in terms of watching anime and fansubs I guess. Downloading OSTs via torrent was just that much easier and let me be introduced to the music quicker instead of actively searching it out I guess.

They have had at least 3 months to work on the next couple of episodes and that is if we assume that episode 1 was the only completed one at the time it premiered. For all we know at december 26h they could've had 6 episodes already done and since than now have 15 finished. IIRC and even if I do I can't confirm it I.G had 12 episodes of GITS SAC already animated when the first episode was shown, or so I read I have no confirmation on that so if I'm flat out wrong someone please let me know. One of the biggest I.G fans I know (haven't seen him on the forum I knew him from in over a year) online said that so that's the only reason I even mentioned it.
Anyway the scenes from episode 2 I saw in PV 2 look just as good.

I thought it sounded quite good (if it is indeed by her and ANN seems to confirm that). Im curious how Nakamjima will live up to Iijima's precedence. All the songs by Iijima in the original SD is legendary. I doubt she will be surpassed but I hope Nakajima can do a good job. Hopefully Ranka will have some songs like Ai wa Nagareru Part I and II. Amazing stuff, really showed what what Minmay was about. Hopefully Ranka doesnt end up like Minmay though, Minmay was such a tragic character.
p.s. My favorite Yoko Kanno song will have to be Tsuki no Mayu. The best Gundam track since the original IMO.

To me, the only difference between a Gundam and a Variable Fighter is that the VFs more resemble our technology and what the apparent need for a transformable fighter would entail if it ever comes to that. But I wouldn't rule out the plausibility of a Gundam type mobile suit if it performs in such high capacity as it tends to do (especially when it concerns atmospheric and highly maneuverable space flight. That and the staple of Gundams: the apparently much superior-than-ballistics beam sabers and beam guns).
Speaking of the whole 'humanoid battroids built to combat giants' thing, you would think they could have built something like Gundams instead of having them transform all the time if they could have.
Then again, I just love both franchises on an almost equal terms so..

I prefer the way that variable fighters are used compared to Gundams, as cool as hand to hand combat is it's not what you would consider somewhat realistic. I mean c'mon as "cool" as episode 22 of 00 was the last scene reminded me of DBZ for a sec with the super speed melee unit zipping all over the place hitting its opponent.
Like 4tran said you could replace the variable fighters with regular ones and much wouldn't be changed though it would of course lose it's coolness factor. I'm trying to recall any intense hand to hand fighting in Macross and all I can think of is a short section of the Macross Plus fight in episode 4 between Isamu and Guld. And really I liked how they portrayed that and it didn't focus on it, made the section so much better since it rarely happened in Macross before.
Also 4tran is correct about Iijima Mari signing the last phrase, I got a chuckle talking to someone IRL who said it sucked compared to the Iijima Mari version. Me- "Even the last line", Friend "Yep", Me "But Iijima Mari did that line herself" Friend "...."

Really, it irks me when people put 'realism' as the sticking point for mecha. If it's anything like Gundam/Patlabor/Ghost in the Shell/Macross level, I'm fine with it. We can basically nitpick how unrealistic any single element is forever. To me, that's just plain not fun. I've gone through that discussion at least for a thousand posts in other forums. In the end, I think it's all about selling the action and the cool factor most of all. Does those Macross VFs really need the dozens of reactive warheads to fire all at once? No, but does it matter? No, it looks cool.

Well on one level I find the concept of humanoid mechas absurd but I really have no problems with it, I grew up watching the americanized versions of Macross and Mazinger Z along with Transformers, mecha was my main anime staple along with sci-fi and fantasy until last year.
Anyway I just finished watch the movie edition of Plus and I liked a lot of the additions to it, I'm going to have to watch the ovas again to see what got removed and than decide which version I prefer. Also if I had a dollar for every time I've been asked if it's okay to watch Frontier without having seen any other Macross I would have over $20 by now...

"It still has that sort of traditional beach feel to it. It hasn't been totally gussied up. It's very real," said Denny Knox, executive director of the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association, which boasts a membership of 525 businesses.
Were you to do a Google search on Ocean Beach, entries variously describe it as a place that's "unpretentious" and "sleepy," where waves pound Sunset Cliffs and shops are locally owned and managed.
Ocean Beach is the home of San Diego's original dog beach at the end of Voltaire Street at the northernmost end of the community. A true canine sanctuary, Dog Beach provides a haven where pets can run leash-free with their families.
Next door, Point Loma shares the ocean lifestyle with its neighbor, but has more of the feel of the "dock," having been the landing place of the first European expedition to come ashore in California.
"There's a ton of stuff to do in Point Loma, which has one of the largest fishing fleets in the West Coast offering guests the opportunity to go out on day boats," said Matt Kalla, president of the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, dedicated since 1960 to the betterment of Point Loma, Shelter Island, Harbor Island, Sports Arena and Midway areas.
"It's an extremely clean, bayfront environment with lots of boating activities, great restaurants and some great places to stay," said Kalla. "It's a great destination spot that offers a lot of frills for people, such as being a great walking neighborhood."
Meanwhile, Knox described Ocean Beach as a tight-knit community with "lots of personalities that all seem to meld together very well." She said the majority of business owners and their employees "live here, eat out here, hang out here, spend their time here."
Characterizing Ocean Beach as a "passionate community with lots of opinions," Knox said the beach community is a friendly, comfortable place where you can "walk up and down the street and know people."
Knox said Obecians are easy to get along with — as long as you observe one rule.
"People just want others to treat the community right," she said. "Don't litter, don't wreck the community in any way. If [visitors] do that, people will leave them alone."
Many of the sights and businesses in OB are iconic.
The Ocean Beach Municipal Pier, one of the most visited landmarks in San Diego County, was officially christened in1966. The T-shaped pier, which affords ample fishing opportunities, extends 1,971 feet into the ocean and is the second-longest pier on the West Coast.
In Ocean Beach, you don't need a machine to go back in time. Just check out some of its nostalgic boutiques like The Black at 5017 Newport Ave. The Black has everything you've always wanted to have or see from the 1960s if one is not afraid to ask.
Even some of OB's landforms are iconic, like Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, a 68-acre resource-based park stretching along the Pacific Ocean bordering the western edge of Point Loma. Dedicated in 1983, the park's topography includes intricately carved coastal bluffs, arches and sea caves affording inspiring panoramic ocean views. From the cliffs, the California gray whale can be seen migrating annually from the Bering Sea to Baja California.
Sunset Cliff's 50-acre hillside section, a designated multiple-species conservation area, links to the 640-acre Point Loma Ecological Reserve that begins at the Navy property to the south. The peninsula that is Point Loma, a seven-mile strip of land jutting into the ocean from the north end of San Diego Bay, also has no shortage of landmarks. Recreational resources are abundant on the peninsula, including the Cabrillo National Monument, Shelter Island and the Point Loma Lighthouse. Visitors are charmed by the peninsula's eclectic shops, seaside restaurants, art galleries and romantic harbor atmosphere.
Throughout the years, Point Loma's deep-water anchorages at marinas protected seafarers from ominous storms, and the harbor served as an ideal location for yachting, sailing, and sports fishing. The peninsula hosts international sailing competitions and has been the scene for the Americas Cup.
Kalla notes that Point Loma is ideally located.
"It's so close to downtown," he said. "Staying there is a really convenient place with a little more breathing room, not smack in the middle of downtown."
Point Loma also features military landmarks like a key submarine warfare base, as well as Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery at 1800 Cabrillo Memorial Drive.
"Its very moving to see how many people have fought for our country," said Kalla.
The Peninsula also has Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU), one of the region's most prominent Christian-based colleges, known for its "forward-thinking" programs. PLNU, serving more than 3,500 students, offers more than 60 undergraduate areas of study and graduate program regional centers, including Mission Valley in San Diego.
Another huge draw, Kobey's Swap Meet at Valley View Casino Center (formerly the San Diego Sports Arena) at 3500 Sports Arena Blvd, is San Diego's largest open-air market, offering everything from souvenirs to arts and crafts to jewelry and antiques. Kobey's draws 30,000 shoppers and more than 1,000 sellers weekly, attracting a large and diverse audience of about 1.2 million people annually.
For more than 40 years, the sports arena has been one of the region's premiere multi-purpose entertainment venues, bringing out the best concerts, family shows, sporting events and a variety of other special events. The arena was the scene of the 1973 Muhammed Ali versus Ken Norton heavyweight title fight and has hosted some of the world's most prominent musicians, including The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Elton John.
No discussion of things to see and do in Point Loma would be complete without mention of Liberty Station, a world unto itself. A mixed-use, 361-acre development on the site of the former Naval Training Center San Diego, Liberty Station's retail, cultural and commercial district's anchor tenants include Vons, Trader Joe's and Ace Hardware. There are also several dozen restaurants, including several Starbuck's coffee shops, and a variety of retail shops.
In May, Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens opened on Historic Decatur Road. The 23,500-square-foot facility cost $8 million and can seat 700 patrons. It is the largest retail enterprise at Liberty Station.

BABSON PARK, Mass. – Sophomore Zachary Kabelac scored two second-half goals to lead the MIT men's soccer team to a 2-0 victory over Wentworth Institute of Technology in the final game of the 2009 Babson Soccer Classic at Babson's Hartwell-Rogers Field on Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Engineers improved to 3-1 on the year, while the Leopards dipped to 0-2.
After a scoreless first half, Kabelac put MIT in front when he fired a shot from the left side of the box into the upper right corner just over a minute into the second stanza. The Engineers would maintain the one-goal lead until Kabelac struck again in the 74th minute, as he took a feed from Christian Therkelsen on the left side, made a move past charging goalie Brian Pearsall, and tucked a shot into the wide-open net at 73:20.
That would be more than enough for MIT sophomore keeper Dylan Rankin, who stopped both shots on net that he faced to finish with two saves in the shutout win. Pearsall finished with nine stops in net for Wentworth, as MIT outshot the Leopards, 24-5, in the contest.

Postcards from Mommywood: John Edwards: Worst Father of the Year
Pain from a parent's betrayal lasts a lifetime.
-Diane Clehane
I know it's a little early to bestow titles like this, but I'm nominating John Edwards as the year's worst father.
It's hard to imagine anyone surpassing him for that honor.
Last week, when the disgraced presidential hopeful finally admitted what many people already assumed to be true – that he was the father of Rielle Hunter's baby, Frances Quinn Hunter – he disgusted a lot more people than he shocked.
In a written statement (Edwards is too much of a weasel to face the press, having heaped lie upon lie since the National Enquirer first broke the story of his adulterous affair with Hunter during the 2008 presidential campaign) Daddy Dearest said, "I will do everything in my power to provide her with love and support she deserves … It was wrong of me to ever deny she was my daughter and hopefully, one day, when she understands, she will forgive me."
Hunter's child is two years old, and perhaps, depending on how Edwards and Hunter decide to work together to raise their daughter, she may emerge relatively unscathed by all this. Thankfully, for her sake, she's oblivious to the current drama surrounding her parents, which is sure to ratchet up at the end of this week when former campaign aide Andrew Young is scheduled to appear on ABC's 20/20 to kick off the media tour for his upcoming tell-all book, The Politician. It's hard to believe there's much more to tell, but I've been told it blows the lid off the Edwards-Hunter story. Reportedly Young, who initially claimed to be the father of Hunter's baby – allegedly at Edwards' urging – is set to air some seriously dirty laundry, including revelations that Edwards told him to fake a DNA paternity test.
Read Postcards from Mommywood: Who's the Boss in This Family?
Unless Tiger Woods, another stellar example of a family man, comes out of hiding, chances are what sordid details that are still to be revealed with the publication of Young's book will put Edwards back in the headlines for a while. While Edwards can hide out in Haiti (about as cynical a move as one could imagine under the circumstances), his three older children Cate, 27, Emma Claire, 11, and Jack, 9, are left to deal with his mess while sorting out what must surely be a very emotional time for them. While there may be some way for Elizabeth Edwards to shield Emma Claire and Jack from some of the fallout from all this, Cate Edwards must fully understand all the ramifications of her father's actions. I can't imagine she feels anything else other than completely devastated by his lies.

Researcher Wins NSA Cybersecurity Award; Uses Opportunity To Bash The NSA
from the good-for-him dept
Like many in the community of cryptographers and security engineers, I'm sad that we haven't better informed the public about the inherent dangers and questionable utility of mass surveillance. And like many American citizens I'm ashamed we've let our politicians sneak the country down this path.When even the people the NSA is handing out awards to are publicly speaking out against the NSA's practices, perhaps it's time for the NSA to change?
In accepting the award I don't condone the NSA's surveillance. Simply put, I don't think a free society is compatible with an organisation like the NSA in its current form.

Mosaic (NYSE:MOS) revealed a 26% improvement in third-quarter profit on Thursday as stronger potash volumes helped to offset weak phosphate prices.
Continue Reading Below
The Plymouth, Minn.-based maker of fertilizers and animal feed ingredients reported net earnings of $345 million, or 81 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $273 million, or 64 cents.
Excluding one-time items, Mosaic said it earned around 88 cents, matching average analyst estimates in a Thomson Reuters poll.
Revenue for the three-month period was $2.24 billion, up from $2.19 billion, missing the Street's view of $2.29 billion.
The increase was led by stronger potash and phosphate sales, with potash volumes growing to 1.8 million tonnes from 1.1 million a year ago. Mosaic anticipates selling 2.3 million to 2.6 million tonnes of potash in the current quarter.
Phosphate sales, however, fell 9% to $1.5 billion in the third quarter on softer prices of finished products and Mosaic sees flat phosphate prices in the current period.
"As we emerge from the traditionally slow third fiscal quarter, we are seeing strong demand and improving sentiment in most of our geographies," said Mosaic CEO Jim Prokopanko.
Mosaic's gross margin improved to $568 million, or 25% of sales, compared with $522 million, or 24% of sales last year.
Its shares ticked 1% higher to $59.29 in morning trade Thursday.

SpeedDriven releases their 800 hp turbo upgrade package for M275 the V12 Twin Turbo carsSpeedDriven has released their Mercedes 600 V12 twin turbo upgrade package. This offers 750+ horsepower on 91 octane and takes cars on 93+ to over 800 horsepower. The 93 octane settings offer up almost 940 pound-feet of torque, yes, whoa. The package features a set of their upgraded billet turbos, top-mounted water to air intercoolers, air intakes, and of course their tune. Check out the dyno and pictures below although based on the 611 whp peak of the dyno their crank horsepower claims seem to be a bit exaggerated.
This article was originally published in forum thread: SpeedDriven releases their 800 hp turbo upgrade package for M275 the V12 Twin Turbo cars started by Sticky View original post10 Comments
ICs look larger and nice, but air filter placement leaves me a bit puzzled. Were they trying to ingest as much hot air as possible? I would imagine IATs while driving on the street would be compromised to say the least, but at the track with hood popped and icing between passes it would be a great setup.
True with the 800HP claims, with 20% driveline loss that's 640rwhp. Also note the graph is "STD" not SAE, meaning SAE would be lower. It is done in 4th gear however 1:1 which is good. I would like to see SAE graphs though.
I really can't say what these M275s like but with every other turbo motor in the world, especially on pump gas, you really don't want to see 12.0:1 A/Fs or higher, just a bad idea in general.
I've seen tune only 65s put down 520-565+rwhp SAE.
They are definitely picking up some power but as you said not quite 800 ponies worth.
Benz-O-Rama - 03-06-2011, 06:19 PM
12.0:1 is not uncommon on these V12TTs. Last dyno tune I got, I was sitting at 11.8:1 (93 octane), but it's so hard to get a real number on a dyno, with limited air flow. I just purchased the MFD Kiwi Wifi w/wideband module. I'll have more concrete numbers in a few weeks.
Good job on getting the wideband. I'm used to seeing A/Fs half a point leaner on the street (1:1 WOT) than on a dyno with comparatively little airflow. That was without cats though. Do you have cats, and if so where are you putting the wideband bungs?

DELAND, Fla. – The payoff for all of the practice serves and volleys, the time in the weight room, the conditioning drills and the early morning workouts is how many matches can be won in Atlantic Sun Conference play.
The Lipscomb Bisons dropped their first Atlantic Sun match of the season 6-1 Thursday at Florida Gulf Coast and continue their trip to the "Sunshine" State Saturday when they face Stetson. The men will start at 9 a.m. at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center. Stetson is 9-0, 1-0 and coming off a 6-1 A-Sun win over Northern Kentucky Thursday.
The Hatters are off to their best start since 1996.
Miguel Cortez, playing in the No. 5 singles spot, posted the only LU win at Florida Gulf Coast by scores of 6-4, 4-6 and 10-4.
The Bisons are 3-7, 0-1. Florida Gulf Coast is 6-6, 1-0
Last season the Bisons finished fourth in the conference. Stetson, ETSU and North Florida finished in front of them. Lipscomb coach Andrew Harris thinks his team can break into the top three based on the performances he saw during a challenging preconference schedule.
"Over the last eight weeks we have a better idea of what the doubles and singles lineup should look like," Harris said. "We feel pretty good about where are we are from a personnel standpoint as to where everyone needs to be in the lineup.
"We use the non-conference part of the season to prepare for the conference. January and February are not the months where we win the critical matches. The important matches are in March and April."
Harris stresses that the Bisons train most of the year in order to be ready for the Atlantic Sun portion of the season.
"One thing we definitely have to do a better job of is to be consistent on a day-to-day basis in order to finish in the top three this year," Harris said. "If you can do that in practice and weights and everything else then I think you can begin to see the fruit of your labors.
"It is not just about what happens in the matches. It is about what you do to prepare yourself to win matches where the margin of victory is so small."
In the singles part of the lineup most of the Bisons have had success in various matches. Harris is counting on the seniors _ Colby Shaw, Oliver Strecker, and Tanner Brown _ to be the anchors of the team in the A-Sun portion of the season.
"As they go, so will everyone else," Harris said. "They are the ones we want to hang our hats on for the next six or seven weeks.
"The biggest thing I want from them concerns what is done between the matches. Leadership is good when the focus is on practice, the weights and all of the things that are required on a daily basis. That is what builds trust and confidence. It means you have given everything you have so when you get in a tough moment in the matches you can have peace in knowing things will work out for you."

Remember? The word this is singular, and the word these is plural:
This one.
These ones.
This car.
These cars.
Here's a trick to help you remember:
The word this has one vowel. one is singular, so this is singular, too.
The word these has two vowels. two is plural, so these is plural, too.

Friday's Cowboy Notes
Here it is Friday, a couple days before game time. This is usually the time where Cowboys fans, or football fans in general begin to get that itch, to get that feeling as the excitement starts to build for the upcoming battles of the weekend. Statistics are showing that interest in the sport are the highest they have been in twenty years or so, and you can feel it and see it everywhere you look. Right now Cowboys fans still have this feeling, but I think it is a bit more subdued as we are unsure of which way our team is going to go. We seem to be on the apex of our season right now and we are only four games in, teetering on the point where if it gets worse we will slide back down to another disappointing season. But if they are able to turn it around and take care of business the point at which they sit can become just a step as they climb back up to the top where we know they can and should be. It NEEDS to start this weekend against the the Kansas City Chiefs. A loss against this team can and probably will force the Cowboys down to another dreadful season.
Injuries are obviously a part of the game, and Dallas has had their share early on. Wide Receiver Roy Williams and Strong Safety Gerald Sensabaugh will not practice Friday and their status for the game this weekend is doubtful.
"We'll wait and see [up until] the last minute on all those guys," Phillips said before Friday's practice. "They haven't gotten a lot better, so you want to be well enough to play. You don't want to play with injured players … and they haven't gotten to the point, right now, where it looks like they will be ready."
Miles Austin will take Roy Williams starting spot in the likely event he will not play, and as Kelly mentioned earlier in the week Safety Patrick Watkins would replace Sensabaugh in the secondary. Running Back Felix Jones also will not practice and has been ruled out for this weekends game, while Center Andre Gurode has improved and will most likely play. Tackle Flozell Adams and Running Back Marion Barber were full participants in practice, and the Barbarian should have a big day against the suspect Chiefs defense.
With Barber coming back we really need Tony Romo to step it up. We all know his play the last couple games (I hate to say it) has been horrible. We need him to be confident in his ability and in his team and try to stretch the field against the Chiefs. Tony is only 1-7 for 80 yards, a touchdown and an interception on pass attempts of 21 yards or more on the season. That is not good and it has to change and if he is able to do this it should open up the running game for Marion Barber and Tashard Choice.
You wouldn't know it but the Cowboys are tied for fourth in total offense (3rd rush, 13 pass) and 26th in total defense (18th rush, 29th Pass). I think the lack of defense is what jumps out to me, that too has to change. So fans dont give up yet. The Cowboys are 8 1/2 point favorites as of right now and have a very winnable game this weekend. So before you jump off lets wait and see if the Boys can do what they are supposed to do to the Chiefs, and if for some reason they dont, I will be the first to clear the way down.

Ibn `Adi
Ibn `Adi
Dr. G.F. Haddad
Ibn `Adi is the Imam, the keen hadith Master who travelled the world, Abu Ahmad `Abd Allah ibn `Adi ibn `Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Mubarak ibn al-Qattan al-Jurjani, the author of al-Kamil fil-Jarh wal-Ta`dil in five large volumes.
He was born in 277 H. The first he heard hadith was in 290 and the first he travelled was in 297.
He heard Bahlul ibn Ishaq al-Tannukhi, Muhammad ibn `Uthman ibn Abi Suwayd, Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Marwazi, Anas ibn al-Salam… al-Nasa'i… al-Firyabi… Abu Ya`la al-Mawsili… al-Baghawi… Ibn Khuzayma, etc.
He lived a long time and his chain of transmission became quite short. He specialized in narrator-criticism, hadith authentication and criticism, until he became a foremost expert in this science despite weakness in his grammar as one can gather from reading him.
Al-Daraqutni praised his book as sufficient for knowledge of the weak narrators. Ibn `Asakir and others declared him trustworthy and praised his mastership and memorization.
Apparently he was Shafi`i and compiled a book based on the chapter-headings of al-Muzani's Mukhtasar.
His method in the Kamil is to mention every narrator that was ever criticized, rightly or wrongly. Al-Dhahabi integrated it into Mizan al-I`tidal and expanded upon it, criticizing him at times for citing undeserving entries.
He died in 365. Allah have mercy on him.
al-Dhahabi, Siyar A`lam al-Nubala' (16:154).
