CIA Accused Of Spying On Senate Intelligence Committee Staffers
from the biting-the-hand-that-oversees-you dept
However, things are getting even more bizarre, as the NY Times is reporting that the CIA is now accused of spying on the Intelligence Committee and its staffers in its attempt to keep that report from being released.
The details are still a little cloudy, but in December, Senator Mark Udall revealed that the Senate Intelligence Committee had come across an internal CIA study that apparently corroborated the information that is in the big Senate report -- and which directly contradicted claims by the CIA to the Committee about how the report was inaccurate -- suggesting that, on top of everything else, the CIA lied to the Intelligence Committee. Udall quizzed CIA boss John Brennan about that internal report. And according to the NY Times, it appears that CIA folks freaked out that the Intelligence Committee somehow got access to that internal study, and responded the way the CIA knows best: by starting to spy on Intelligence Committee staffers:
The agency's inspector general began the inquiry partly as a response to complaints from members of Congress that C.I.A. employees were improperly monitoring the work of staff members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, according to government officials with knowledge of the investigation.On Tuesday, Udall sent a strongly worded letter to President Obama, pushing for the declassification and release of the big 6,300 page report, but also that internal CIA study, which would highlight how the CIA lied. On top of that, he made an oblique reference to this spying activity by the CIA:
The committee has spent several years working on a voluminous report about the detention and interrogation program, and according to one official interviewed in recent days, C.I.A. officers went as far as gaining access to computer networks used by the committee to carry out its investigation.
As you are aware, the CIA has recently taken unprecedented action against the Committee in relation to the internal CIA review, and I find these actions to be incredibly troubling for the Committee's oversight responsibilities and for our democracy. It is essential that the Committee be able to do its oversight work -- consistent with our constitutional principle of the separation of powers -- without the CIA posing impediments or obstacles as it is today.In many ways, the idea that the CIA is directly spying on the Senate Committee charged with its own oversight is a bigger potential scandal than many of the Snowden NSA revelations so far. Even more importantly, it may finally lead to Congress taking action against an out-of-control intelligence community.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – California Lutheran rallied with four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to tip visiting Whitworth 5-4 in the collegiate baseball season opener for both schools on Friday afternoon.
Erik Nikssarian had two hits and an RBI to lead the Pirates at the plate. Dan Scheibe pitched 4.1 strong innings in his first start of the season, allowing one run.
All four of CLU's runs in the eighth inning came after two were out. Ronnie Burton had the big hit, a two-run single to right field that drove in Davey Casciola and Elon Goldman. Both runs were unearned.
Trailing 5-3 in the ninth, the Pirates pulled within one run after Nikssarian led off with a single and came around to score on Gerhard Muelheims' fielder's choice. All-American Tyler Pfeffer came to the plate as the go-ahead run with two outs, but he flied out to center field to end the game.
Nikssarian's RBI single drove in the Pirates' first run of the season in the fifth inning, tying the game 1-1. Whitworth went ahead 3-1 in the seventh, the second of the two runs scoring on Pfeffer's RBI single.
The game featured typical first-game jitters as both teams committed three errors and only three of the nine total runs in the game were earned.
Scheibe struck out seven and walked four in his first start of the season. Michael Woodkey gave up one run on one hit in three solid innings of relief. Taylor Isadore was credited with the loss after allowing three runs on four hits in the eighth.
Jake Peterson started on the hill for CLU, allowing three runs (none earned) on five hits in seven innings. Aaron Roth pitched the ninth for his first save. Burton finished the game 2-4 with two RBIs.
The teams will play a double header on Saturday beginning at 11:00am.

Re-post from Strollerderby
Let's face it: Most toddlers lie, cheat, or steal. Heck, most do all three. But don't freak out and assume this "bad" behavior predicts your sticky-fingered little fibber will grow up to become a remorseless criminal.
Lying, cheating, and stealing are common components of toddler development. Little kids are constantly trying to figure out the difference between right and wrong, real from imagined, too much from too little. By lying, cheating, and stealing, they test boundaries to find what is right and just. And with thoughtful guidance from parents, they begin to understand family morals and values.
So why do they do what they do?
Why they lie:
They don't know better. Toddlers live in a world of action, impulse, and immediate gratification. Furthermore, they don't always have a firm grasp on reality. So while they may seem like they know the difference between what's real and what's imagined, a lot of times they don't have a clue. Therefore, they don't get the consequences of lying.
They live in the present. Toddlers are developmentally incapable of shifting gears easily, especially to attend to less pleasurable tasks. Ask any kid who's fully engaged in playing a game if they've gone potty yet, and you will most likely get a yes, even if you know it's an obvious lie from the way they're holding their crotch or jiggling around.
They want what they want. Little kids are pleasure seekers who act out of desire. They'll lie to join in, to feel part of things, to get attention. If they see a friend or older sibling getting goodies, they'll fabricate a lie to get in on the action — to nab their own piece of the pie.
They will do anything to avoid feeling bad. No one — especially a 3-year-old — likes to be punished. If a toddler is scolded, their first response is usually denial of misdoing. Denial lies are primal, defensive, intuitive responses to perceived threats, which is why we hear them so often. Also, toddlers feel shamed when others react to their spontaneous silliness with ridicule. They'll lie when embarrassed and deny they did the silly thing to begin with. They're usual tactic is to blame someone else, maybe the kid sitting next to them or an imaginary friend.

11 ridiculous lies kids have told — Jenn Gimbel
Why it's good when kids don't tell the truth — Madeline Holler
"Use your words" only goes so far with a 2-year-old
— Cassandra Barry
Why they cheat:
They want to win. I know, doesn't everybody? But for toddlers, the goal is definitely more important that the journey. Getting to Gum Drop Mountain is the goal, and a toddler just might take any shortcut available to get there first. Even little kids are aware of the competitive world around them: Winners are cool and losers are, well ... losers. They hear how parents talk about success and failure, and though they might not fully understand grown-up feelings, they can sense them viscerally.
Something good to remember: Game cheating usually bothers parents more than it bothers other little kids, who view cheating as a detour rather than a crime — though non-cheaters usually lose interest in playing with cheaters and will eventually walk or toddle away.
Why they steal:
They don't understand the concept of personal property. If they want something, they'll nab it. The world is one big playground, and everything in it belongs to them.
They are guilelessly greedy. They like to consume, and they'll get stuff however they can. Unfortunately, that includes intentional and unintentional stealing.
They are powerless captives. They depend on parents and caregivers to provide and set the rules. Grabbing something without asking, sneaky as it may be, feels powerful. The pilfered item may not even be all that desirable, but taking it feels like freedom.
They want to be cool. If they see other kids getting attention for having the best toy truck/doll/shovel or pail, they might grab those items — and ultimately steal the spotlight from them.
What parents can and should do:
1. Set a good example. If your toddler hears you tell a lie, sees you bending the rules, or watches you pocket stuff that doesn't belong to you, what do you expect? Kids are impressionable little beings who depend on parents to set their moral compasses. So do right by them. Corny as it sounds: Be the best you you can be.
2. Locate the positive impulse behind their criminal behavior, and begin there. For example, Dahlia takes a bag of cookies out of Coraline's cubby. Take Dahlia aside and say, "Gee, you really love cookies, don't you?" Talk about how yummy cookies are, how you wish the world was made out of cookies, how cool it would be if cookies grew on trees, etc. Once you've got a thread going, address the stealing: "Did you know that bag of cookies belongs to Coraline? Coraline loves cookies, too. You need to give the cookies back to Coraline, and tell her you're sorry for taking them." Once Dahlia rights her wrong, praise her and help her figure out a better way to get her own cookies.
3. Narrate rather than interrogate. Sam swears he brushed his teeth, but you know he didn't. Tell Sam, "It's a really good thing you brushed your teeth, 'cause you know what happens to teeth that aren't brushed?" Provide the graphic details. Tooth decay, dentist's office, drills, etc. It's likely Sam will want to brush his teeth a faux-second time, just for extra protection.
4. Active imaginations are good to encourage, but don't allow them to run rampant. Appreciate stories — even join in and add outlandish details. But when the stories are continual cover-ups for misbehavior, provide gentle reality checks and truthful alternatives.
5. Join them in simple games that promote taking turns and playing by the rules. Guide them through the ups and downs of winning and losing. After a straight forward round, if all players are willing, call rules off for some good wholesome mayhem. Afterwards, compare the different ways of playing, and talk about what was fun or not fun in both situations.
6. Read books. Observing the foibles of fictional characters is a great way to deal with criminality indirectly. Discuss the moral of the story later on, or not at all. Here are some suggestions:
Sam Tells Stories by Thierry Robberecht
Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie by Laura Rankin
The Boy Who Cried Ninja by Alex Latimer (better for kids over 5)
7. Share your own stories of childhood misdemeanors so as not to constantly come across as holier than thou. If you were a perfect angel as a child (yeah, right), borrow a meaty story from a friend. On the flip side, also share stories of how good it felt to work hard and earnestly towards something when you were a kid.
8. Avoid the blaming/shaming equation and public humiliation. It's often only after the consequences of their actions have been explained that toddlers realize they've misbehaved. Try to figure out a remedy, do-over, or apology that's age-appropriate, and if possible, do it privately. Get their input, but retain ultimate authority.
Toddlers will test over and over again so don't expect overnight rehabilitation. Between ages 5 to 7, the lines can still be a bit blurry, but most innocently amoral behavior should be in check. By 8 years old, they should solidly know the difference between right and wrong. If your kid continues to lie, cheat, or steal chronically during the early grade school years, there may be more serious underlying issues afoot, such as:
Tension/conflict at home or school
Bullying or teasing by siblings or friends
Lack of attention or shift of attention from parents
Too much praise of, or comparison with, other kids, siblings, schoolmates, or friends
Possible learning/developmental delays or disorders
Highly competitive school, home, or sports environments
If you continue to have doubts about your child, regardless of age, get more support. There may be more serious issues at play when their deviousness seems too demented, their sneakiness inordinately sinister. Consult your pediatrician, friends, therapist, parenting professional, and family. Don't parent in a vacuum. It's in isolation that we miss cues, intervene too late, or begin to believe our own lies.

I like how when you drive into Sacramento you go over a bright yellow bridge. I am always surprised by the calm, luxurious trees. And the broad flashing river. Sacramento seems like one big neighborhood.
I wanted to try putting up some knitted pieces in town. We had put up the first yarn bomb at the glorious Crocker Museum and I wanted to explore some more of the city. I like going to a new city and viewing the whole city as a big art piece . I learned yarn bombing in Paris to just wander all around a city looking for an attractive spot with strong feeling to it. We parked on J and 10 and walked up to this beautiful square with a clock building. There was a very alluring pole on the corner that we decided to decorate. The Russian had knit this piece playing with the idea of knitting a bar code. The bar code looks good stretched on the pole, sort of Zebraish. We knit our pieces in strips and then whipstitch them onto the poles with more yarn. The square was sunny and filled with red and gold leafed trees.It was so tranquil there. We sewed on our little cloth streetcolor label, took some pictures , drank a cup of tea and walked over to the capitol.

Fifty years ago, a hard-working group of Mt. Airy fathers wanted a way for their sons to play baseball. These fathers were raised, after all, during the pre-World War II golden age of the game. They might not have been old enough to remember the 1920 purchase that brought Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees, then the biggest deal in the sport's history, but they would have known Jumpin' Joe DiMaggio.
When the early 60s rolled around, and places for their kids to play the game so many call "our nation's pastime" were lacking, it was only natural that a baseball program would evolve to fill the local athletic void.
So, in 1962, the Chestnut Hill Father's Club was formed, and the club's first Little League season was played.
Over the past 50 years, the Father's Club has grown from providing glorified pick-up games for a handful of kids, to a full-fledged sports organization with boys and girls sports for kids ages 5 through 18. What started with boys' baseball, now includes basketball, boys' and girls' soccer, and girls' lacrosse.
Now called the Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club, a name change that embittered some early members when it was made at the turn of the century, the organization serves over 1,800 families across Northwest Philadelphia and its surrounding communities. Through its programs, thousands of kids have learned to field ground balls and box out for a rebound.
Whether you're a high-school student poised to play college ball, or a 6-year-old learning to hit off the tee, full of dreams of the big leagues, the YSC has a place for you. This April, it celebrated its 50th anniversary.
"If there's anything to be said about the Father's Club," said Ron Miller, former president ('88-'92) "it's that people tirelessly worked, volunteered and gave so much of their time and they didn't ask for anything. That's the beauty of the organization. That's what made it."
Current president Dennis Primavera said the club's structure and volunteers are the backbone that has held the group together for so long.
It was a Sept. 5, 1962, Chestnut Hill Local article that announced the formation of the Father's Club. It called the organization a "new novel group." Five days later, the founding fathers hosted their first official general meeting at the Water Tower and introduced the executive board comprised of John McVay, president; Baxter Leaming, vice-president; Charles Blackburn, secretary; John Fisher, treasurer, and 11 additional board members.
"It wasn't that organized in the beginning," said former longtime president Tom Hoban who joined the club around 1965.
"Sometimes it was just 30 or 40 kids and a bunch of guys hanging out playing ball," he said.
By the mid-1960s, the men organized and divided themselves into different teams to play against one another, Hoban remembered. During that time, a Saturday night basketball league developed at the Water Tower. Soccer also debuted during the club's first 10 years.
In the early days, according to Hitch Blackburn, the son of one of the original founders, the club was made up mostly of kids raised on the east side of Germantown Avenue. The west side of Germantown Avenue, he said, "was like a different world," noting that the east side was more working class, while the west side was home to the more financially well-off.
While American mainstream culture was being swept by the tides of the counterculture and the summer of love, the Father's Club was busy scheduling officer elections and growing its little league to include travel teams, and "A," "B," and "C" leagues based on a player's skill-level.
By the late 60s, board members were learning how to purchase better equipment and uniforms, instead of having its athletes wear black T-shirts and black caps. During this time, Chestnut Hill Academy students started to play, and the club expanded to use the fields at the school.
But it was the during the club's second decade, late in the 1970s, when it really started to grow, accumulate money and become the community vortex it is today.
That's when 17-year-president Frank "Stretch" Hendrie got involved. When his son was old enough to play T-ball, Hendrie signed the boy up for the Father's Club. A year later, in 1978, he was club president. By then, the initial 30 or so families had grown to around 600.
"I was basically the money man," said Hendrie, a Vietnam War vet who spent six months on a ship off the coast of Vietnam. I'm a natural money raiser."
Hendrie and his entourage raised "literally hundreds of thousands of dollars" through beef-and-beers and company sponsors for the Father's Club.
"Stretch was one of those guys who with brute force just made [the Father's Club] better," Miller said.
During his presidency, the club did things like refurbish the fields at CHA. Instead of renting the fields, club members and athletes put work into the fields. They raked the dirt, cut the lawn and painted the foul lines.
Hendrie also was instrumental in acquiring the Water Tower basement to function as group headquarters. When his boys (he also had two girls – his inspiration for the club to eventually develop girls' programs) were old enough to compete in American Legion (boys ages 16 to 18) in the late 80s, he was instrumental in fielding the Father's Club legion squad.
Oddly enough, the last person to hold an American Legion franchise in Chestnut Hill was Phillies hall-of-famer Robin Roberts. Hendrie even created a team to play in the semi-professional Pendel Baseball League, though its existence was short-lived. During his reign, the club also joined the 21st Ward Little League, based in Roxborough.
Through the seasons and the years, the story of the Father's Club has been the story of individuals volunteering their time with the goal of creating an organization where children benefit.
"Without women like Genie McClintock and Sue Talley," said Miller, "there might not be a Father's Club."
Neither women had children in the program, but during the 80s they dedicated countless hours to working league registration and other business-oriented details of the organization.
"They did everything that was asked of them and more that wasn't asked of them," Miller said.
There were the Filippi brothers, welders, he said, who repaired the backstops as need be.
"Everyone was selfless and always willing to give their time and donate their talents," said Miller, who built the Water Tower snack bar with the help of other members.
And so for the first 30 years the Chestnut Hill Father's Club grew, served thousands of kids and brought together two different sides of the neighborhood.
In the 1990s, girls' soccer was introduced. Now girls had the opportunity to play other girls, and create their own championships instead of being mixed in with the Father's Club boys, as they had been for years on the baseball teams.
When the name changed to the Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club, some original members believed a tradition had been uprooted. According to its website, the new name serves to "more clearly identify the mission of the club."
But, regardless of the name, the significance of the organization and the reality of the opportunities it provides families and children to come together and compete on respectable levels of sportsmanship remain without question.
Whether it's called the Father's Club or the Youth Sports Club, to the youngsters and teenagers who make up its teams it represents the vehicle for making their sports dreams and ambitions a little less distant from ESPN and one step closer to home.
And despite the 50th anniversary celebration being rained out during this year's Little League home opener, the club is set to run strong and grow for at least another 50 years.

The Atlanta Falcons are pushing the pause button on contract negotiations with Matt Ryan.
The quarterback is entering the final year of his contract and due $12 million in 2013. The Falcons don't want a Joe Flacco situation with Ryan playing without an extension reached. But it's time to focus on the 2013 NFL Draft, general manager Thomas Dimitroff told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's D. Orlando Ledbetter on Friday.
"The situation is, as we've mentioned, both parties, we're in a very comfortable situation," Dimitroff said. "We are focused on the draft again. After the draft we'll continue to discuss (Ryan's contract) and I'm sure both parties, Matt and the Falcons are feeling good about making sure that this gets done at the right time."
The Falcons have been cutting salary this offseason in anticipation of a mega-contract for Ryan. He's been a starter since day one, was named the 2008 Offensive Rookie of the Year, led the team to the NFC championship last season and the Falcons haven't had a losing season since Ryan was drafted.
The contract is expected to surpass the $120.6 million deal that Flacco signed with the Baltimore Ravens this offseason.
"There is no time frame on it right now, and I don't want to keep you hanging on it, but I feel confident things are going to be taken care of when the time is proper," Dimitroff said.
Like Flacco, it's not a matter of if -- just when and how much.

Jurors talk about deliberations in Edwards trial
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Jurors in John Edwards campaign corruption trial said Friday they were deadlocked on most charges because the former presidential contender never actually received any money from two wealthy donors to hide his pregnant mistress, and they didn't believe the star witness' account of the cover-up.
On network talk shows, even jurors who thought Edwards was guilty on at least some of the six counts of campaign finance fraud said the prosecution simply didn't have enough evidence. The jurors did not say what the split was, in terms of guilty votes.
"We tried to put our feelings aside and what we were doing was just looking at the facts to come up with a verdict," juror Cindy Aquaro said on NBC's "Today" show.
Juror Jonathan Nunn said he thought the money from the two wealthy donors were personal gifts, not campaign donations.
The jurors acquitted Edwards on one count of accepting illegal campaign contributions and deadlocked on the other five.
"Everybody's got their own beliefs based off of what they saw," Nunn told ABC's "Good Morning America." ''They stood their ground. They stood by their decision and I respect that."
Trial observers said the jury's decision bore out criticism from the earliest stages of the case that it was a reach, that prosecutors went after the ex-U.S. senator without the kind of evidence that justified the charges that he masterminded a scheme to use campaign donations to hide his pregnant mistress from the public and his terminally ill wife.
"As noted by nearly every campaign finance lawyer who considered the matter, this was a lousy case," said Melanie Sloan, executive director for the campaign finance watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "All the salacious details prosecutors offered up to prove that Edwards is, indeed, despicable, were not enough to persuade the jury to convict him."
Edwards faced six felony charges involving nearly $1 million provided by two wealthy political donors that was used to help hide the Democrat's mistress, Rielle Hunter, as he sought the White House in 2008. He faced a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
To convict Edwards, prosecutors needed to show not only that the candidate knew about the secret payments, which he denied, but that he knew he was violating federal law by accepting them. But the government was unable to produce any witness who said Edwards knowingly violated the law. Even former Edwards aide Andrew Young testified that Edwards told him he had consulted campaign finance lawyers who assured him the money was legal.
A former trial lawyer, Edwards was so unimpressed with the testimony against him that when the government rested, he turned to a member of his defense team and asked dismissively, "That's their case?"
When it was their turn, his lawyers presented just two days of evidence. Edwards elected not to take the stand in his own defense.
"This is a case that should define the difference between a wrong and a crime ... between a sin and a felony," Edwards' lead attorney Abbe Lowell told the jury during closing arguments. "John Edwards has confessed his sins. He will serve a life sentence for those."
Presented with no damning evidence and no obvious victim beyond the public's trust, jurors couldn't see their way to convicting the charismatic ex-candidate. Prosecutors are unlikely to retry the case, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the decision will undergo review in the coming days.
Kieran Shanahan, a former federal prosecutor and Raleigh defense attorney who attended the trial, said he thought the prosecutors took their best shot with what was ultimately a very weak case.
"They got their best witnesses, their best evidence and the judge ruled in their favor on all major evidentiary issues," Shanahan said. "In the end, the jury just didn't believe them."
Steve Friedland, another former federal prosecutor who watched the case from inside the courtroom, said the jury's verdict was not surprising, considering the government had no smoking gun to prove Edwards guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
But, he predicted, Edwards won't fare as well in the court of public opinion.
"Regardless of the decision, he still is Exhibit A for how we do not want our leaders to behave," said Friedland, now a professor at Elon University School of Law. "This is a huge victory for him, and big burden off his shoulders, but a hollow one given his astounding fall from grace."
From the start, lawyers for Edwards painted the prosecution as politically motivated. The investigation was originally spearheaded by George Holding, the then-U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Appointed by President George W. Bush, Holding made a name for himself with criminal probes of high profile Democrats, including the state's former governor. When President Barack Obama came into office, Holding managed to forestall being replaced by a Democrat for years while the Edwards investigation was ongoing. He eventually resigned in 2011 as Edwards was indicted and soon announced his candidacy for Congress, winning in the GOP primary last month.
The final decision to prosecute Edwards was made by the Obama administration and the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section. Once highly admired, the section's reputation suffered after a corruption conviction against former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska was overturned in 2009 after it was found prosecutors knowingly concealed exculpatory evidence and allowed false testimony to be presented at trial.
The case against Edwards was tried by three prosecutors sent down from Washington and one prosecutor from Raleigh who had served as Holding's second-in-command. They presented 14 days of testimony and evidence, with Young their star witness.
An aide once so loyal he falsely claimed paternity of Edwards' baby and helped hide his mistress from the media for nearly a year, Young turned against his former boss and testified for the prosecution under an immunity agreement. Though the government's case recounted how Edwards repeatedly lied about his affair to both the American people and his cancer-stricken wife, the defense countered by shredding Young's credibility on the witness stand and using financial records to show the former aide and his wife kept most of the money at issue in the case, funneling it into the construction of the couple's $1.6 million dream home.
Before Edwards' prosecution, no federal candidate had been tried over payments from a third party that flowed to a mistress. Sloan said the lack of resolution in the case will likely leave candidates and regulators confused about what is and is not a legitimate campaign expense.
"The U.S. criminal justice system requires fair notice of what is and is not against the law," Sloan said. "Sadly, the Justice Department seems to have forgotten this fundamental American precept. Luckily, the jury remembered."

said onr forefathers had a big fight with old england and whipt it and after it was till over the colonies got together on the 4th of july 7»i and formed a union and made a declaration of independence a good many young people have an idea that this day celebrates the whip ping of the tight and the beginning of a new government this is a mistake but it is a very reasonable supposition the day of a great victory that closes a war and secures peace and independ ence is a greater day than the one on which it was declared let not him boast that putteth his armor on like him who taketh it off the surrender of corn wall is at york town virtually closed the war on the i'.tth day of october 1781 aud the treaty of peace was signed in paris on the 30th day of november 1782 this treaty for the first time acknowl edged and established the independence of the united states and the day it was s gned should be observed as a very notable day the 4th of july was not the beginning of the war the colonies had been lighting for a year or more all along the line ban croft says the battle of lexington that was fought on tin lstli of april 177o was the beginning of the revolution the battle of bunker hill was fought in june 1755 the colonies had re belled from maine to georgia and had organized for resist am-e old north carolina held a secession meeting at mecklenburg iu may 1775 and passed a declaration of independence the second continental congress met in philadelphia on the loth of may 1775 and issued 2,000,000 of conti nental money for war purposes can ada was invaded and montreal taken in december 177-"i our forefathers were getting along pretty well with the war long before the 4th of inly but the colonies were fighting on their own motion and had not cemented | any settled union some of them thought that england would soon get tired and beg their pardon and invite them back and perhaps they would go back but on the 7th day of june 1776 richard henry lee introduced resolu tions in the continental congress that cut tne last cord that had bound the colonies to great britain these res olutions were passed and a committee appointed to draw up a formal declara tion of independence and so it was done and was reported to congress and was passed on the 4th of july 1 77c it is well for the children and youth | to understand these things so that when thev are asked what all this racket is about and these annual cele brations and firework they can tell i hem richard henry lee was the personal fiiend of washington and wln'n washington died lee was chosen to pronounce his eulogy and it was in that address that he said of him : first in war first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen don't forget that those lees were terrible rebels when cromwell was dictator they n belled against him and passed a declar ation of independence for \ irginia and so cromwell sent over a fleet to subdue them but he couldn't do it and had to recognize their independence and make a treaty with them the lees were born to rule ami they have been ruling for 150 years in this conn try it is a grand old family henry lee a eou-in of richard was the father of our general robert e.lee lie was known during the revolution as light horse harry his father must have been a very extraordinary man for he and general washington loved and courted the same girl miss lucy grimes the lowland beauty and lee outgeneraled the general and history says that washington never wholly recovered from that defeat some years later he tried a widow with better luck she had one son and that son married and died leaving one daughter and our bob married her tie lees all had p-r-oual pride and pride of family they scorned to do a ,,",.,,, thing their self-respect would not

Brunner, Andersson, Zetterberg and Kronwall lead Red Wings past Canucks 8-3NHL.com @NHLdotcom
DETROIT - Damien Brunner had two goals and two assists, and Joakim Andersson scored twice in the Detroit Red Wings' 8-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.
Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall had a goal and two assists each, Daniel Cleary added a goal and an assist, and Jordin Tootoo also scored for Detroit, which netted three power-play goals in the second period to take the lead.
Pavel Datsyuk and Jonathan Ericsson added two assists, and Jimmy Howard made 18 saves.
Daniel Sedin had two goals, and Chris Higgins also had a goal for Vancouver. Henrik Sedin had two assists, and Roberto Luongo stopped 20 shots but lost in regulation for the first time this season.
Cleary tied it 3-3 at 2:57 of the second period when he tipped the puck in during a goal-mouth scramble for his fourth goal. Zetterberg's sixth gave the Red Wings the lead with 4:50 left in the second, and Brunner made it 5-3 when he calmly flipped in a rebound with 42 seconds remaining.
The Red Wings, who entered ranked 26th in the NHL on the power play, held the Canucks to only three shots in the second period.
Brunner added his second goal of the game and 10th of the season in the third before Andersson scored twice.
Daniel Sedin's first goal of the game gave the Canucks a 1-0 lead 5:45 in. He put in a one-timed shot from in front off a pass from his brother, Henrik, who was behind the net.
Tootoo tied it with 8:52 left in the first when his bad-angle shot from the right-wing boards went in off of defenceman Kevin Ballard.
The Red Wings went ahead just 1:29 later when Kronwall's slap shot went in off the stick of defenceman Dan Hamhuis for Kronwall's third of the season and second in two games.
Daniel Sedin's second goal, with 3:42 left in the first, tied it at 2. He again teamed with Henrik, who made a perfect dump-in that caromed off the boards in the left corner of the Detroit zone to Daniel, who was cutting in off left wing. He picked up the puck and beat Howard for his seventh goal.
Higgins capitalized on Justin Abdelkader's turnover to give the Canucks a 3-2 lead with 1:34 left in the first.
NOTES: Detroit G Jonas Gustavsson wasn't available because of a sore groin. Thomas McCollum was called up from Grand Rapids of the AHL to back up Howard. . Vancouver D Kevin Bieksa didn't play because of a groin injury. LW David Booth sat out because of an illness. . Red Wings D Kyle Quincey (sore left ankle) missed his second game.

In Root v.3, Sarah Evans shares what she has learned after 9 months of travel and exploration throughout Canada and the US. Her observances are mostly short and sweet, accompanied by personal photos and charming cut and paste collages that are so poignant, you begin to feel like a fellow traveler. You can't help but imagine your own cross-country explorations and reflect on what makes a place feel like home. For Evans, home is in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Everyone else needs to find that place for themselves and sometimes, reading a good old fashioned perzine is a great way to reflect on your own roots and where life has taken you.

Looking for LOVELLS
My great-grandfather BENTON COOLEY (1835-1897) was married to LYDIA LOVELL in Estherville, IA in 1863. I have quite a bit of information on the COOLEY side of my family, but am looking to fill in the blanks about the LOVELL side. Lydia's family was living in Freeborn County, MN from about 1857 to 1870. Her parents were LYMAN LOVELL and CLARISSA EDMANDSON, from Trumbull County, Ohio. Known siblings include William, Ira, Oliver, and Clarissa. William, Ira, and Lydia were born in Ohio, Oliver and Clarissa, plus one other Peleg, called Dely, were born in Minnesota. Looking for additional information about Lydia's siblings and Clarissa's death.

(NNPA)—It is not in all collegiate sports. Wrestling, hockey, track, lacrosse, etc. are not activities that involve illegal payment activity to athletes. Football and basketball are the two sports that involve the infamous "slush funds". Currently, schools like Auburn, USC and Ohio State are under suspension and/or investigation for transgressions involving student athletes and the athletic office. It appears to be just as rampant today as it was when I played football at the University of Wisconsin. It is sick and needs to be eradicated.
It evolved after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Schools could no longer discriminate against Black athletes. The smart coaches soon realized that not only was it the law, it made a lot of good sense. Black athletes can jump higher, run faster, and hit harder than White athletes. That is not a racial statement but a biological fact. You cannot win a conference title, national championship or enjoy television revenues without a good sampling of Black athletes. At the same time television was going national and ad revenue was becoming immense. College basketball and football have become big business—a $4 billion business. Those with the best coaches and best athletes will reap serious money, enough money to fund the other sports programs, build new stadiums and start notable endowments.
Recruiting great talent is paramount. Thus, enters the cheating. It was in full swing when colleges started recruiting me and my homies for football and basketball. Money handshakes, envelopes passed to us or our parents were becoming the norm back in the late 1960s. The predominance of schools did this and Arizona State University was probably the "slut" of them all. My cousin, an all American running back went there on a recruiting trip. He was not met at the Phoenix airport by a coach or athlete but by a prostitute driving a red corvette. She took him to a drive thru restaurant, got them burgers and milkshakes and then drove to a drive in theater. It was there in the passenger seat of the corvette that she took off her skirt and saddled his lap for wild sex. The next morning the assistant coach met him for breakfast and broke out a big smile and said "do you like the way ASU treats its athletes?"
We were having a ball—a different recruiting trip each weekend replete with cash money, big promises, cute chicks and notoriety by our local newspapers. The recruiting phase was the most fun. California, Colorado, Wisconsin, Arizona, etc. made a guy like me feel greatly wanted and special. I chose the Wisconsin Badgers and they took good care of me in many ways. My cousin decided to get real religious about this and resolved he would only go to a school that wasn't trying to offer slush to him. He ended up going to Stanford. When he announced this to the Arizona State recruiter he was soon presented a Letter of Intent from ASU with 10 one hundred dollar bills next to it. $1,000 back in 1968 was a lot of money. Still, my cousin stood his ground and went to goody, goody Stanford. He became a collegiate all American and finished with his masters degree.
There were good honest coaches also. Sadly, they weren't at the University of Wisconsin during this time. Ohio State had the great Woodrow "Woody" Hayes. He became terribly upset that Michigan St. was winning Big 10 titles and cheating at the same time. The image of poor Bubba Smith driving on campus with a new Buick Riviera and rumors of Coach Duffy Daugherty having a safe in his office for money distribution to his football greats was intolerable. Woody went after Michigan State. At the same time a Woody Hayes disciple, Bo Schembechler, became the coach of the University of Michigan. He won the Big 10 conference his rookie year, 1969, and he did it cleanly. After a football game, the players of both teams met and talked about the hometown, high school days with the friends from the other team. We asked the Michigan guys how did they like their new coach. They said, "He's real good but he took away our slush." What!!! We all thought that was terrible.
Today, college sports need more people like Woody Hayes and Bo. It has gotten out of hand and the big problem is that these athletes like my cousin and me come from poor families with little to no resources. When a financial situation arises, they can help out the family or themselves by athletic office or alumni intervention—financial discretions. Each basketball and football player should receive a salary. If they were paid $30-$40 thousand each year they wouldn't be at the "trough" trying to get fast cash. That would probably end the cheating and the tolerance of what occurs today.

The Boy Scouts of America issued the following response to a news conference hosted by two Portland-based attorneys regarding the attorneys' release of the BSA's ineligible volunteer files from 1965 to 1985.
Scouting's Response to Files Released by Plaintiff's Attorneys
"Nothing is more important than the safety of our Scouts. There have been instances where people misused their positions in Scouting to abuse children, and in certain cases, our response to these incidents and our efforts to protect youth were plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong. Where those involved in Scouting failed to protect, or worse, inflicted harm on children, we extend our deepest and sincere apologies to victims and their families."
"We have always cooperated fully with any requests from law enforcement and welcome any additional examination by authorities of Scouting policies, training, and files to learn from our longstanding Youth Protection efforts. In fact, next month in Atlanta, the BSA is hosting a Youth Protection Symposium in cooperation with other youth-serving organizations where nationally recognized third-party experts will discuss and share best practices."
Points of Clarification
Confidential Files
These files are not - and have never been - secret. They have been reported extensively in the media going back to the New York Times in 1935, included in books on Scouting throughout our history, and were the subject of numerous news articles and a book in the 1990s. Further, the files are known to many of the millions of volunteers in Scouting, because joining the organization requires they be cross-checked against this list. While not secret, the files are confidential because experts agree that confidentiality is a key component of effective government and private-sector reporting programs.
Training Scouts and Adult Leaders
The BSA has been training on Youth Protection for decades and today has the most comprehensive program on this issue for youth and adults among all youth-serving organizations. Our education and training programs are specifically designed to create an environment of awareness and to teach Scouts and adults to recognize and prevent abuse. Every parent is informed of the BSA's Youth Protection policies at the time of application and must review Youth Protection materials with their child as a requirement of membership. Scouts are taught to recognize, resist, and report abuse - in and out of Scouting - through a series of videos and other written materials. This training is a requirement for rank advancement. All adult leaders must complete Youth Protection training every two years in order to maintain their membership.
Transparency of the Organization
Our policies have always required Scouting to adhere to state laws in reporting abuse. Today, it is mandatory that any good-faith suspicion of abuse is immediately reported to law enforcement. In the files released today, police were involved in nearly two-thirds (63 percent) and a majority of these files (58 percent) included information known to the public.
Failure to Acknowledge
The BSA's acknowledgement of this issue dates to the 1920s when the Boy Scouts of America began keeping a list of individuals - the ineligible volunteer files - who did not meet its standards. In the decades since, the BSA has continuously enhanced our policies and procedures to ensure we are in line with and, where possible, ahead of society's knowledge of abuse and best practices for prevention.
Counseling of Scouts
Since the late 1980s, when the BSA rolled out a strongly structured Youth Protection program, the BSA has worked, and continues to work, with local councils in making it known to victims and their families that counseling is available when they have been a victim of abuse in Scouting.

text: Clean Air Solution August 23, 2013 10:52 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Pre-cleaners protect engine by clearing dust Just as farmers and the livestock they care for rely on clean air to survive, so does ag equipment. That's why component manufacturers say farmers should consider the benefits of an air pre-cleaner, which can remove 75% or more of incoming dust and debris, depending on the size and design. Stainless steel components and an aluminum hood underpin the eight sizes of Centri pre-cleaners. "You don't have the cost or downtime for changing the filters as often," says Ted Crary, division manager for Diversafab, which manufactures the Centri Air Pre-Cleaner. "When you have cleaner air going to the engine, it also gives you better fuel efficiency." Air pre-cleaners can extend filter life by five to 20 times, says John Fitzgerald, strategic product manager for Donaldson Company Inc., whose air pre-cleaner product line includes the new TopSpin HD. A farmer who might normally spend $50 per week to replace a filter might instead replace it once a month with a pre-cleaner, saving $2,000 each year, Crary says. Factor in more fuel efficiency, maintenance costs and other expenses, and the benefits quickly add up. Frank Donaldson Sr., a former tractor salesman, started Donaldson Company Inc. in 1915 after observing the amount of dust that machines ingest. What began as a simple air filter composed of a cage and Spanish moss has grown to $2.5 billion in annual sales and a full line of air cleaners, pre-cleaners and various components. DRM Diversafab Corp. began in 1983, and the Centri brand began when the manufacturer's owners redesigned a competitive pre-cleaner for improved performance, Crary says. The company expanded in 1994. Wide application. Pre-cleaners can be used on just about any agricultural equipment with an engine, Crary says, from tractors to utility loaders to off-road trucks. Pre-cleaners such as Donaldson's TopSpin HD for plowing and tillage applications work well in severe duty applications, Fitzgerald says. Many pre-cleaners have smaller tubes to handle fine debris, while those for harvesting applications generally feature larger tubes. As air spins inside this Donaldson pre-cleaner, debris moves to the outside of the flow and is ejected. Aftermarket pre-cleaners can range from $100 to near $450. Farmers can add a pre-cleaner to the hood of an existing tractor or other machine, depending on available space and layout, says Mike Anderson, director of Donaldson's product management group. Companies such as Donaldson also routinely work with OEMs whose machines generally come with pre-cleaners integrated into the engine's air-induction system. Filter out dirt. Air pre-cleaners function by spinning air through a tube or baffle system, pushing larger particles of debris toward the outside of the flow, Fitzgerald says. Depending on the pre-cleaner type, debris is then sucked out or ejected into the environment through an opening. The remaining air travels through the air cleaner and then on to the engine as clean air. Centri pre-cleaners, composed of stainless steel components and an aluminum hood, are offered in eight sizes ranging from 50 cu. ft. per minute (cfm) up to 1,600 cfm, Crary says. Two air pre-cleaners can work in tandem for additional airflow. Airflow and not intake should be the determining factor when sizing a pre-cleaner, he says. Farmers can get that airflow information from the equipment manufacturer or by performing a simple calculation factoring in the cubic inch displacement of the engine, operating revolutions per minute and aspiration. In the future, manufacturers will be challenged to build higher-performing, smaller air-cleaning systems as engine cooling and emissions packages grow, reducing available space under the hood. For example, Power Core G2 cleaning technology from Donaldson enables installation of an air cleaner that is 60% smaller than traditional cleaners. Manufacturers need to continue to work at placing pre-cleaners out of the operators' line of sight, Fitzgerald adds. Air pre-cleaner demand will remain as manufacturers improve efficiencies, Crary says. "Pre-cleaners work well, and they save customers money." You can e-mail Nate Birt at email@example.com.

An interesting interview with Tim Bray on The Future of the Web.
The topics covered are fairly wide ranging with the more interesting questions and answers in the last two thirds of the interview.
One of my favorite web frameworks Django is mentioned favorably several times.
I completely agree with his position regarding REST/WOA as being the architectural pattern that matters today.
On the topic of cloud computing Mr. Bray talks about the alignment of agile methods, open source, and cloud computing working to deliver "monetization at the point of value". This seems to be a recurring theme.
He poses three questions concerning adoption of the cloud computing.
- What is the right level of abstraction for the cloud?
- How can one avoid vendor lock-in?
- How can one ensure security is handled appropriately?
Noting that the economics of cloud computing are compelling but the above questions need to be addressed.
His comments about enterprise adoption of what is currently today's startup technology platforms is also interesting.

MenuDirections 2012: Day 3 Photos
Day three offered attendees tips on cooking healthy and awarded the "gold standard" with the annual Goldies awards.
Chef Pajor took a look at historically proven methods of menuing seafood such as Friday fish fries, fish and chips and captain's platters. However some new trends he noted included the use of super local ingredients, innovative preparations, regional ethnic cuisines and fish items suitable for food trucks. Pajor confessed he is a big fan of the fish taco truck. Another big trend, he added, is sustainability.

Its main purpose is to act as a navigational symbol for the players rather than as a physical equipment item for a unit (although a Standard may be mounted on a "real" equipment item, such as a pennant that's attached to a knight's lance). A soldier holding a banner in one hand may still use a Two-Handed Weapon held in the other hand as if he weren't holding the banner, for instance.
Standards don't cost any CP, and players may choose to add or remove Standards from the battle at will as new Squads form and old Squads dissolve. In general, minifigs should not be allowed to use a "non-existing" Standard as a weapon or tool (especially a Standard that "magically appeared" in the middle of battle) unless they're using it to do something funny enough that the other players are laughing too hard to object.

Position: Power forward
Who's the starter: Glen Davis
Why he's starting: Davis continues to recover from a fractured left foot he suffered midway through last season. Although he underwent surgery in early February, he required another surgery in July to receive a bone graft and have a larger screw inserted into the same foot. The Magic will bring Davis along in his rehabilitation slowly, and it could take weeks or a couple of months for him to play in a game, but he projects to be the starter once he's fully healthy.
Davis, 27, was having the best season of his career last season until his injury. He was healthy in the Magic's first 25 games, and the team started with a 12-13 record and ranked sixth in the NBA in defensive efficiency. Without him, however, the team struggled on defense. Davis is the Magic's best low-post defender. He's also their best screener on offense.
He's at his best on offense when he's driving to the hoop. He sometimes takes too many midrange jumpers.
Who are the backups: It's unclear when Davis will play in his first game of the season, but the Magic arguably are deeper at power forward than at any other position. Tobias Harris, 21, can play either forward position, and he averaged 17.3 points per game after the Magic acquired him from the Milwaukee Bucks in mid-February. Harris sometimes was overpowered at the power forward position, and he needs to concentrate on his defense.
The Magic have other options. Kyle O'Quinn, 23, provides size and rebounding. Andrew Nicholson, 23, is one of the Magic's most dangerous offensive players even though he doesn't have eye-popping athleticism. Nicholson was vulnerable at times defensively last season as a rookie. Jason Maxiell, 30, was signed over the summer to provide veteran leadership and toughness, especially on the defensive end.
Who has played this position first: After stints with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Washington Bullets, Terry Catledge came to the Magic in an expansion draft in 1989. Catledge wound up starting 72 games during Orlando's inaugural season, and he finished the season as the team's leading scorer, averaging 19.4 points per game on 47.4 percent shooting from the field. He also averaged 7.6 rebounds per game. Catledge remained with the team until it released him in Oct. 1993.
Who else has played this position: The Magic signed Horace Grant to a free-agent deal prior to the 1994-95 season, and Grant's rebounding and toughness helped Orlando reach the 1995 NBA Finals. Grant played a total of 411 regular-season games for the franchise, averaging 11.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game during his tenure.
Rashard Lewis was a natural small forward when the Magic signed him to a massive free-agent deal before the 2007-08 season, but the Magic played him at power forward in order to put more outside shooting on the court and allow Hedo Turkoglu to start at small forward. Lewis embraced his role, and his accuracy from beyond the arc fit perfectly into coach Stan Van Gundy's 4-out, 1-in offense. The team traded Lewis away during the 2010-11 season for guard Gilbert Arenas.
Ryan Anderson was the prime successor to Lewis, and Anderson was a weapon on offense from 3-point range. Anderson won the NBA's Most Improved Player award for the 2011-12 season. A few months later, the team sent him to the New Orleans Hornets in a sign-and-trade deal.
