The food had been served, the patrons were long gone, and the cutlery cleaned when Rep. Paul Ryan, his wife, three kids and photographers pulled up Saturday at a St. Vincent de Paul food kitchen in Youngstown Ohio.
Ryan and his wife put on aprons and washed several pans that already appeared to be clean, and then were off to the airport
Now, the Republican vice presidential candidate is in hot water over the impromptu campaign "photo op." The director of the Mahoning County, Ohio, St. Vincent de Paul Society says he was not contacted and that the food kitchen does not serve up candidates.
"We're a faith-based organization: We are apolotical because the majority of our food is from private donations," Brian Antol told The Washington Post. "It's strictly in our bylaws not to do it. They showed up there and they did not have permission. They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors.
"The photo op they did wasn't even accurate. He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall."
The Ryan campaign explained that it sent ahead a staffer, who was told by a volunteer that the visit would be welcome.
"Our campaign and Congressman Ryan were pleased to bring attention to the meaningful charitable contribution the St. Vincent de Paul Society makes to people in need," said Chris Maloney, Ohio communications director for the Romney-Ryan ticket.
With a heavy diet of fundraisers and set-piece rallies, candidates for President and Vice President do few spontaneous events beyond the early "retail" politics of the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.
President Obama has dropped in at popular breakfast spots, quaffed a beer, and eaten a doughnut on a Seattle stop.
But sometimes hosts get hassled by political opponents of the candidate. Antol reported that he has been forced to deal with fallout.
"I can't afford to lose funding from these private individuals," he said. "If this was the Democrats, I'd have exactly the same problem."

"My life is over. No one is going to want me now." These were the words of 16-year-old Ma'lik Richmond after a judge adjudicated him delinquent of rape earlier this week in juvenile court in Steubenville, Ohio.
Hyperbole? Perhaps. But it's also an age-appropriate response to a well-worn scenario that's continuing to play out in the media as well as in the homes of this Rust Belt city of 18,000.
The facts are familiar. A teenage girl — vulnerable and the object of ridicule — drinks too much. A group of boys, including one she believed would protect her, instead take advantage of her. She wakes up unclothed and has little memory of what occurred. The rumor mill kicks in. She is humiliated and blamed. There is evidence of a cover-up, talk of conspiracies and conflicts of interest. The young men, celebrated high school athletes with promising futures, are publicly tried, convicted and ultimately jailed. Months later, after the media circus ends, the teenagers and their families are left behind — far behind — to try to pick up the pieces.
We have been here before. Consider the almost identical cases that befell the towns of Glen Ridge, New Jersey; Richmond, California; and Cleveland, Texas.
The story has been updated to fit the times. Now there are text messages, social media, online video and the sex offender registry. Technology has indeed advanced — almost beyond our powers of comprehension — but the narrative never changes. Why is it that our system of justice perpetually chews up and spits out rape victims, while our sons continue to be empowered through the abuse and defilement of their female peers?
As a society we chip away at the edges of these problems, but the pathology remains. We criminalize underage drinking. We demonize adolescent sexuality. We label defendants and assess culpability. Yet, who is served by such responses?
A girl is left profoundly damaged, not only by the crime itself, but also by the harsh scrutiny and ostracism of her community. As prosecutor Marianne Hemmeter said, "[The juveniles] treated her like a toy." In a culture permeated by images that objectify women's bodies and characterized by the commodification of sex, this is hardly surprising. We are a society that is still struggling to define the act of rape and to draw a clear line between sex and violence in ways that are commonly accepted and understood. Recent research from the Centers for Disease Control reveals that nearly 12 percent of high school girls have been sexually assaulted; more than 40 percent of female sexual assault victims were raped before age 18.
Meanwhile, boys are punished, put in cages and stigmatized, but what lessons do they learn? Spending a year or two warehoused in a juvenile prison is unlikely to help. Data out of Ohioshows that low-risk sex offenders who received community-based treatment designed to provide more effective rehabilitation and save money were less likely to recidivate than those who were incarcerated with a general population of high-risk young offenders.
The narrative, however, remains the same. The victim's mother contends that Ma'lik Richmond and Trent Mays, his 17-year-old codefendant, lack a moral code. Judge Thomas Lipps asserts that they will learn from this experience and change for the better. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine vows to continue the investigation, convene a grand jury, and hold others responsible — parents, coaches and those who stood by and did nothing. It is likely that the victim must testify again, reliving the fear that she felt upon waking up naked in a strange house, not knowing what to think or what had happened.
It is, despite our best intentions, a tragedy. The lives of these young people may not be over, but their innocence has been forever extinguished. Today it is in Steubenville. Tomorrow is it in my town … or in yours.

The prisoners were subjected to experiments, apparently of great concern to those who conducted them. The outcome was a disappointment for some - death for others - and for others yet, madness. One day they came to select a new guinea pig from among the prisoners. He was the man whose story we are telling. He was frightened. He had heard about the Head Experimenter. He was prepared to meet Dr. Frankenstein, or the Mad Scientist. Instead, he met a reasonable man who explained calmly that the human race was doomed. Space was off-limits. The only hope for survival lay in Time. A loophole in Time, and then maybe it would be possible to reach food, medicine, sources of energy. This was the aim of the experiments: to send emissaries into Time, to summon the Past and Future to the aid of the Present. But the human mind balked at the idea. To wake up in another age meant to be born again as an adult. The shock would be too great. Having only sent lifeless or insentient bodies through different zones of Time, the inventors where now concentrating on men given to very strong mental images. If they were able to conceive or dream another time, perhaps they would be able to live in it. The camp police spied even on dreams. This man was selected from among a thousand for his obsession with an image from the past. -- Narrator, La Jetée
I hate temporal mechanics! -- Miles O'Brien, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Thanks to YouTube, I finally got around to watching La Jetée by Chris Marker. Perhaps most surprising after all the ink that's been spilled analyzing this experimental work is how much it resembles the old science fiction stories of EC's Weird Science. These stories -- like the majority of those from EC -- featured some twist ending that followed along like fate from whatever course of action the protagonist chose in the beginning.

Since my return from Ireland on October 26, I have been struggling with this "which" of words. On the heels of one of my most incredible life experiences, I was greeted only moments after arrival in Seattle with the news that my beloved beautiful boy was in jail, charged with a very serious offense. Needless to say, I was (and am) devastated.
In both events (Ireland & 'the news'), my world has been rocked. I sit and wait during this season of Advent to see where the ripples might land. Can that be enough? Yes – for me, for now – the waiting must be enough. Still…I ache to find the words, so today I share a few regarding "the crime."
I am ever so grateful no one was physically harmed – no death – no hospitalizations – no rape. But, laws were broken. Stupid, careless, foolish mistakes were made and now a young life – my son's – will be imprisoned for as many as four years. They say it could have been much worse – 15 years or more. Can I be grateful? Perhaps later.
No one was physically harmed… the words linger and I am struck with the ripple effect, because the emotional toll is high. I can't begin to process the damage for myself, so how can I weigh the cost to the rest of my family or anyone else? The ripple is high. It is exhausting. Like the waves of the ocean, even the gentle ones leave me with a queasy feeling if I stand or float in them too long. And, then there are the rogue waves that come out of nowhere and pick you up and thrash you to the ocean floor where all equilibrium is lost. Which way is up? Where is the bottom?
I once danced with a rogue wave in Hawaii. Even after I was safely out of the water and had survived the experience, I could not accurately assess the damage. Removing my swimsuit, the sand came out of nooks and crannies I didn't know existed – little grains of evidence that the wave had had its way with me. Later, I walked by a mirror after showering and caught sight of a giant bruise disguised as an enormous eggplant tattooed on my butt. I don't remember how long it took before I could sit comfortably again or when the ugly mark finally faded away.
Today, I have more questions than answers – many of them surrounding this season of Advent, as well as the circumstances of my life. It's odd, but there is a simple peace in knowing that today waiting can be enough. I am grateful for this space. I have struggled with the words and will continue to do so. Your loving witness alongside makes the waiting a little easier.
Blessings to you and yours.

Aug. 10--In the latest of a series of videos capturing racially charged interactions between residents in the Bay Area and elsewhere, an Oakland woman threatened to call police on a family during a parking dispute outside her house before claiming to be an immigration attorney and questioning their citizenship status.
In a Facebook post to his account Wednesday, Jordann Cordova said family members were heading to a party, and had just parked their car on an East Oakland street outside the woman's house when she confronted them and began yelling.
"Keep in mind that as soon as I saw her come out of her home, I sincerely asked her why she wanted us to leave. Never did i disrespect her in any way," Cordova wrote in the post. "She wanted us to leave, [and] as we refused she approached our car and tried to open the doors."
At that point, Cordova said he decided to reach for a phone.
"That's when I began recording because we felt attacked and we know these situations have happened already to black and brown people because of how we look," Cordova wrote.
In the filmed exchange, the woman threatens to call the police and goes back to her house before returning to wield her own phone and ask the group "Where are you from?"
The group told her that didn't matter, but when a person in the group said he was a resident and had papers, the woman responded that it didn't matter before adding that "a resident isn't a citizen, you know." When the group continued to urge the woman to call police, she said "you know what they'll do? They'll take you!"
Cordova said "[t]his woman targeted us AND even questioned our status in this country. I ask people to share and find who this women who claims is immigrants attorney."
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the woman was identified Thursday as psychologist Lesleigh Franklin by Franklin's partner, Marisol Reyna. Both women are co-founders of the East Bay Family Institute, whose Web site says it is a "multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural agency specializing in working with children, youth, and adults, couples and families needing mental health services."
Speaking to the Chronicle, Reyna said Franklin had stepped down Thursday as the institute's chief executive officer.
Although mention of Franklin had been removed from the site Thursday, a biographical statement captured on a November 2017 version of the institute's site cached at the Internet Archive described her as "a licensed clinical psychologist who has been working with diverse populations in both school based and clinical settings for over 20 years," as well as "a clinical forensic psychologist who specializes in providing psychological assessments and expert witness testimony in civil, criminal and immigration court."
A call to the institute Thursday was not immediately returned.
Previous incidents have included late April's "#BBQBecky" incident, where a white woman called police on a group of friends barbecuing by Oakland'sLake Merritt; June's "#PermitPatty" incident, where a marijuana-edibles company CEO called police on a black girl for selling water near San Francisco'sAT&T Park without a permit, and "#JoggerJoe" incidents involving a white man who attacked a passer-by filming him after he threw a homeless man's belongings into Lake Merritt; and last month's "#HighwayHolly" road-rage incident along Interstate 80 in Emeryville.

Prior to tonight's game vs. Texas, the Chicago White Sox placed infielder Mark Teahen on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to May 12) with a strained right oblique and purchased the contract of infielder Dallas McPherson from Class AAA Charlotte. … McPherson, who will wear uniform No. 45, was signed by the Sox as a free agent on November 10, 2010. The White Sox 40-man roster is at 36.
McPherson is hitting .305/.366/.458/.824 with 39 K and 12 BB, a .361 wOBA and a .435 BABIP. Clay Davenport says his EQA (Equivalent Average) is .291 and McPherson's Major League EQA is .229.
UPDATE: And McPherson singles on his first White Sox at-bat! Bring him in boys!
A measure of total offensive value per out, with corrections for league offensive level, home park, and team pitching. EQA considers batting as well as baserunning, but not the value of a position player's defense. The EqA adjusted for all-time also has a correction for league difficulty. The scale is deliberately set to approximate that of batting average. League average EqA is always equal to .260.
Dayan Viciedo wasn't the one that got the call because: 1: he's more of an outfielder, 2. he wouldn't get regular ABs like in AAA.
Well , he wasn't getting enough ABs last year in the Majors but that didn't stop the Sox from calling him up.
Other White Sox links: James says A.J. Pierzynski is hurting the Sox. Jim takes a look too. Mike says calling up McPherson is the Right Move For the Wrong Reason.

A novel is a book that is a work of fiction. The people and events are invented. It can be funny, serious, and adventure, a fantasy, realistic historical fiction, or many more genres.
"Drama" is a type of entertainment. A play or a movie can be called "a drama." It's not a comedy, or a romance, or an adventure -- it's a realistic story showing people experiencing realistic emotions, usually in a tense situation.
We don't usually call a dramatic book a drama. We say it's a dramatic novel.

MIDDLETOWN, R.I. – MIT scored first, but Salve Regina University came back with 29 straight points as it downed the Engineers 36-13 in New England Football Conference action this afternoon. MIT (1-6, 0-5) could not capitalize on its opening score as Salve Regina (5-3, 3-2) held the Engineers to just 187 yards of offense. Sophomore quarterback John Wenzel (Mandeville, La.) threw for one score and ran for another for MIT.
Things got off to a good start for MIT after the Engineers stared the first drive of the game on its own 20 after the opening kickoff went into the end zone for a touchback. Wenzel got things started with a 15-yard run, and four plays later picked up another first down and moved the ball into Salve Regina territory with a key 26-yard scamper on a fourth and 12. Freshman Justin Wallace (Palatine, Ill.), who led all rushers with 80 yards, then too over on the drive, carrying the ball on eight straight plays for a total of 25 yards to place the ball on the SRU 16. On a third and 10 play Wenzel dropped back and found freshman Brad Goldsberry (Elizabeth, Colo.) open for the 16-yard score. The extra point was blocked, leaving the Engineers with the early 6-0 advantage.
Salve Regina wasted little time on its first possession. Getting a 26-yard return on the kickoff, the Seahawks six straight plays for 37 yards down to the MIT 17. The drive stalled there, with freshman Anthony Souffrant (North Grafton, Mass.) breaking up a pass on a third and five play. The Seahawks did get points on the board, getting a 34-yard field goal from Mark Moore that made it 6-3.
It stayed that way until three minutes into the second quarter when Moore hit again, this time from 31 yards away to tie the game. After stopping MIT on its next possession, Salve Regina found the end zone on its next possession, getting a 23-yard TD pass from Bradley Skeffington to Dan Buonocore with 6:50 left in the half.
With 5:02 left in the half, freshman Cameron Wagar (West Richland, Wash.) intercepted Skeffington on the Seahawks first play of a drive. But the MIT offense could not take advantage, turning the ball back over to Salve Regina when the Engineers failed to pick up the first down on a fourth and one play. Salve Regina then took the ball 63 yards in seven plays, with Skeffington taking it in from seven yards out with 1:02 left in the half to make it 20-6.
Salve Regina scored the first possessions of the third and fourth quarters to put the game out of MIT's reach. Skeffington tossed a 20-yard scoring pass to Alexander Lord in the third and Moore booted his third field goal of the day in the fourth to put the Seahawks up 29-6.
MIT got back into the end zone a little more than eight minutes into the final quarter when the Engineers stopped the Seahawks on fourth down near midfield and then drove the ball 48 yards in eight plays. Wenzel capped off the drive with a four-yard run with 6:47 left that made it 29-13
Salve Regina iced the game on its next possession, getting a one-yard run from Alex Mendez with 3:53 left for the final points of the contest.
MIT and Salve Regina were evenly matched in time of possession (29:35-30:25) and total plays (65-67), but the Seahawks held a 285-111 advantage in rushing and 126-76 edge in passing yards. Salve Regina had three backs who ran for at least 67 yards, led by Rob LaRiviere-Tougas' 78 yards. Wagar and sophomore Jake Laux (Dousman, Wis.) led the MIT defense with 12 tackles each.
MIT will return home for its next game, hosting Nichols College at 5:00 p.m. at Steinbrenner Stadium on Oct. 29.

The entire month of May is, 'Welcome to Golf Month,' which is a new Play Golf America program evolving from PGA Free Lesson Month. Along with the usual May offering of free 10-minute lessons from PGA/LPGA Professionals, Welcome to Golf Month will include additional complimentary introductory programs, orientations and Get Golf Ready clinics as part of the innovative month-long promotion.
This provides a great opportunity to introduce a friend or loved one to the game; or a chance for you to get more serious about your own game.
With that in mind, we asked our PGA.com Facebook fans to tell us: Who or what was the most influential in getting you into golf?
While you read the great answers we received below, why don't you consider becoming that "most influential" person to someone else?
9. The Folds of Honor Foundation. This from the Folds of Honor Foundation website: The Folds of Honor Foundation was founded in 2007 by Major Dan Rooney, a former F-16 pilot, golf course owner, PGA Professional and USGA member. A Major in the Air National Guard and a decorated military aviator, Rooney has served three combat tours in Iraq. After returning from his second tour, Major Rooney witnessed a profound situation that drove him to create the Folds of Honor Foundation.
Facebook fan quote:
"Folds of Honor Foundation for sure! I've always been interested, but these guys made me step it up a bit!" -- Mike Daggett
8. Starting out as a caddie. For a lot of kids, their first summer job might be as a caddie at the local golf course. It's a great introduction to the game and the etiquette.
Facebook fan quotes:
"I started caddying in the eighth grade. Carried two bags, 18 holes, two loops a day every day. Caddies could play Mondays. I battled all summer long just to get a round in, hooked ever since." -- John Dorsey
"The membership (and guest play) at Winged Foot where I caddie." -- Andrew Spina
"My uncle. He used to let me caddie for him when I was young." -- Dan Cutter
7. A touring professional. Just like any sport, it's easy to be inspired by the people who are among the best at what they do. Golf is no different.
Facebook fan quotes:
"Tiger... he made the game look interesting and exciting!" -- Shail Chotai
"Tiger Woods no doubt." -- Jeremy Nicholson
"Todd Hamilton. We grew up together. He got good, then great. I still suck, but I still play!" -- Scott Brown
"By a Tour Professional named Steven Bowditch, I was at a tour event on the nationwide tour in Boise, Idaho in 2006 asking for autographs and such, and such like every other 12 year old kid and younger. He gave a couple of kids hats and went to his car and I started talking with a kid, and then he whistled me over and gave me his putter. Ever since then I asked my dad to buy me clubs and started learning and such 6 years later still using his putter. I am now a 2 handicap and could never thank Steven enough. My goal is also to become a tour pro thanks to him as well." -- Zachary Shaun Regonald Woods
6. A friend. The earlier you can start playing golf with a friend, the better. Since golf is a game you can play for decades, it can keep that friendship alive and well.
Facebook fan quotes:
"My best friend Rose. She started playing when she was 12 and got me hooked at 43 and we've never looked back. She lives in Phoenix now and I'm in Fort Worth so we take turns visiting each other so we can play together!" -- Tami Malone

Bourn runs bases, begins rehab stint
Hamstring feeling good, Tribe center fielder to suit up for Double-A Akron
CLEVELAND -- The Indians have consistently been vague when it comes to Michael Bourn's return to games. Tribe manager Terry Francona stayed true to that approach before Monday's 7-1 win over the Reds at Progressive Field.
"He's doing really good," Francona said following Bourn's pregame workout, which included running the bases. "We will sit with him and most likely start to map out a little bit of a playing schedule. And it will be a rough schedule, because we're always going to go off how he plays."
Clarity arrived after Cleveland's win, when it was announced that Bourn will begin a Minor League rehab assignment with Double-A Akron on Tuesday.
Sitting at his locker following Monday's pregame workout, Bourn noted that he has run the bases three times. That includes one session on the artificial surface Quicken Loans Arena (across the street from Progressive Field) for Bourn, who has been on the 15-day disabled list since July 6. The center fielder has maintained a throwing program and has been hitting on the field.
"I just got through running [the bases] and felt good again today," Bourn said. "I didn't have any setbacks or anything, so I'm going to try to keep moving forward."
Through 66 games, Bourn has hit .267 with three homers, nine doubles, seven triples, seven stolen bases, 21 RBIs and 37 runs scored. This marks the third setback this season involving Bourn's left hamstring, which was surgically repaired (in a different area than the current injury) in October.
"The biggest thing is when he's ready to hit full speed," Francona said, "because he doesn't have to play every day when he gets back. [Outfielder Michael] Brantley will go over there [to center] in a minute, but I think it is important to know that [Bourn] can get to that last gear."


text: And no, I'm not keeping it! I found this little one crying alone outside. It's too cold for a kitten so I brought it in. Right now it's stashed for safekeeping in my half-bath as Niobe is pissed I brought another cat in, and Inara is a little too interested. And, quite frankly, I don't know if it has cooties or anything. It's got all its teeth and is eating food, so it will be good overnight until I can take it to our local shelter. It should get adopted quickly as it's super-cute and starts purring as soon as you touch it. I have no idea if it's a boy or a girl!

In my constant chitter chatter about about hair I have on twitter, I ended up getting into hair chats with fabulous Sinead Kelly (follow her here).
Sinead is an award winning celebrity hairdresser, with her self-titled salon in beautiful Barnes in South West London. And guess what… Sinead invited me along to get the Sinead Kelly treatment! I had a hair botox treatment, a cut and a fab blowdry and curls.
And this is what the Sinead Kelly treatment looks like…
Sinead gave me a fab tutorial about how to tong my hair without frazzling the ends using Mark Hill Ceramic Curling Tongs which is available at Boots. I shall do a post on that as soon as I have practised it to perfection. There's a definite knack and I am all about protecting my poor dry ends!
And I thought you might like to have a little look at the cut before Sinead curled it for me. So here are a couple of shots of that too!
Excuse the gratuitous appearance of the bag!! I had it there because I quickly whipped my camera out…honest!
Sinead's salon is absolutely gorgoeus. It has a lovely relaxing atmosphere, I kind of felt like I wanted to move in there. In fact I loved Barnes so much that I googled house prices when I got home!! It's OK though, I definitely can't afford it…yet!
Also while I was there Kimberly Wyatt was having her hair done too and I do love a little brush with a celeb every now and then!!
To find out more about Sinead Kelly, visit www.sineadkellylondon.com or tweet her here. She's not just an amazing stylist, she's a fab tweeter too!

A Speculation Too Far
Jeff Greenfield at CBS News writes of the "possibility" that Obama could replace a conservative justice before 2012:
Now imagine it's 2011, and the Senate has become more Republican than it is now; And imagine that Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia — or Roberts or Alito or even Anthony Kennedy (the "swing justice") — has to leave the bench. […]
If there is a liberal nominee posed to replace a conservative, we are sure to hear Republicans arguing for the merits of a filibuster, while Democrats attack it as an invalid tactic. We will hear Republicans arguing that ideology is indeed a legitimate ground for voting against a nominee qualified by experience; while Democrats, who once asserted precisely that point, will argue that qualifications and competence are what matters. […]
The potential for gridlock and conflict becomes even greater if we imagine a Republican takeover of the Senate in November; meaning that the Judiciary Committee, and the Senate calendar, would come under the control of Republicans, In that case, try to imagine what kind of nominee Mr. Obama could get confirmed.
I've done some speculating on this blog, but Greenfield's rests in the no man's land between the patently absurd and entirely plausible. That is, he's peddling as possible an abject impossibility for the sake of clever commentary. Two problems: his observations are obvious, not illuminating; and his starting hypothetical is a non-starter in reality. Absent an unforeseen death, no member of the Court's conservative bloc–or Justice Kennedy–is going anywhere in the next two (or even six) years.
Now, we can certainly talk about Obama's lower court nominations in the next two years should the GOP gain majorities or at least more significant minorities in Congress this November. And we can talk about whether such a potential change in Congress will impact the list of potential successors to Justice Ginsburg should she retire during Obama's first term. But please, no more futile talk of who will replace Scalia in the next two years.

[…] vacant until voters decide in 2012 who should be nominating justices." Mike Sacks, at his First One @ One First blog, dismisses Greenfield's hypothetical as "a speculation too […]
To be politic about it; extrapolating from actuarial charts, Scalia has a roughly 7.5% chance of dying within the next 2 years, and Thomas roughly ~5%. So planning or talking about either is not much different from discussing a roughly improbable, but by no means impossible event.
Incidentally, I'm with Sandy Levinson in going against life tenure in general, and morbid death-wishes and death-calculations would probably assume less significance if you knew when SCOTUS justices' terms would end.

Feinstein, Rand Paul fight indefinite detentions
Washington -- California Democrat Dianne Feinstein joined Kentucky Republican and Tea Party favorite Rand Paul on Tuesday in a failed attempt to block legislation that would allow the government to imprison American citizens indefinitely without trial if they are suspected of terrorism.
An amendment they backed to strip the provisions from a broad defense bill failed in the Senate 60-38.
"The U.S. government should not have the ability to lock away its citizens for years and perhaps decades without charging them," Feinstein said, comparing the legislation to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. "We don't pick up citizens, we don't incarcerate them for 10 or 15 or 20 years until hostilities end - and no one knows when they will end - without giving them due process of law." Detainees would be held in military detention.
Speaking as chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Feinstein declared that the nation "is safer than it has ever been before" from terrorist attack and that some 300 civilian terrorism prosecutions since the Sept. 11 attacks prove the system is working.
Feinstein cited the so-called "American Taliban," John Walker Lindh from Marin County, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and Jose Padilla, also a U.S. citizen, who was convicted of plotting a radiological or "dirty bomb" attack and sentenced to 17 years in prison.
Paul was one of only two Republicans who voted to strip the so-called detainee provisions, while 17 Democrats voted with the rest of the Republicans to keep them in the broader legislation.
The bill has drawn a veto threat from the Obama administration and raised an outcry on the left and the right, opening a crack in what has been since 9/11 a united Republican front favoring broad war-making and detention powers by the executive branch.
Early Wednesday, the Senate voted 88-12 to limit debate on the legislation and move ahead. A final vote on the bill could come as early as Thursday.
An act of war
In an emotional debate Tuesday, Sens. Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the Armed Services Committee, and the panel's top Republican, John McCain of Arizona, joined by Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the new laws are vital to fighting terrorism.
"If you join al Qaeda, you will suffer the consequences," Graham said. "If you're an American citizen and you betray your country, you're not going to be given a lawyer." Graham said terrorism is not a crime but an act of war.
Paul compared the legislation to Egypt's "emergency law" of 1958 allowing indefinite imprisonment of citizens that helped foment Egypt's revolution last spring.
"We could see American citizens being sent to Guantanamo Bay," Paul said, referring to the U.S. prison in Cuba where terrorism suspects are held by the military without trial. "We should not have to sacrifice our liberty to be safe."
Passage expected
The defense bill is expected to pass the full Senate next month. A House version passed earlier this year.
The House bill also continues the authorization of the use of force Congress granted the president to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, waged an unsuccessful fight last spring to strip that authority.
Garamendi said the provision "gives continuing authority for the president to intervene militarily anywhere in the world where he deems there is a terrorist threat."
He said he found the provision tucked into the defense bill as it was being debated by the House Armed Services Committee "at 1 or 2 in the morning. Everybody had fallen asleep, and I'm reading this 700- or 800-page document, and I asked, 'What's this about? Why are we giving perpetual authority to the president? And the answer was, 'Well, he needs it.' "
Violation of rights
The administration has waged an unusual all-out assault on the detainee provisions, arguing that they violate basic American legal protections and would thwart counterterrorism efforts.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta; FBI Director Robert Mueller, a holdover from the Bush administration; and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper all sent strongly worded letters to Congress denouncing the requirement of military custody for terrorism suspects.
Mueller said the legislation would confuse lines of authority among civilian law enforcement and the military, and hamper investigations and interrogations.
The White House used unusually strong language in its veto statement, saying placing some terrorism suspects in military custody would be "inconsistent with the fundamental American principle that our military does not patrol our streets. We have spent 10 years since Sept. 11, 2001, breaking down the walls between intelligence, military and law enforcement professionals; Congress should not now rebuild those walls."
Christopher Anders, legislative director for the American Civil Liberties Union, said senators have been under pressure to move the bill quickly and that Feinstein was among the first to put on the brakes. He said a combination of libertarian Tea Party Republicans, especially in the House, and Democratic liberals could prevent a veto from being overridden.

I miss writing for fun.
I've been doing this freelance stuff and it's awesome and super validating but not the same. It doesn't give me the same feeling as flinging my personal opinions, rants, and dazzling personality in all of your faces. Stirring the pot and thinking I'm hilarious trips my trigger, it makes my world go round.
April is creeping up on us and that means another A to Z Challenge is around the corner – staring me down. Two years ago I completed it, last year I started and never finished (which is the truest to myself thing I could do), and this year I already have my posts mapped out – and it's only March 19th. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna finish it, and I'm going to feel really good when it's all said and done.
This theme reveal is not exactly that. I'm not even sure I have a theme, or if it's just a smorgasbord of things that will be fun to write about. What I do know is that they are all true to me. Every post in the month of April will give you a little insight into who I am, why I'm this way, the people who are important to me, my past, present, and future.
Tomorrow I will start drafting the posts, and for the entire month of April, I invite you into my world, there will be venting, apologies, judging, flash fiction, and zingers. I will only get political once (or twice), and you'll laugh more than I get political. Promise.
Until then, here are five of my favorites from the previous A-Z challenges. Check them out and then come find me come April 1st.
U is for Uneasy: "Some worries are rational, others are not. If I say this, how will it be perceived? Rational. How am I going to get all this done? Rational. Did someone just break into my house while I'm showering? Irrational."
"Bennett [my kid]: Can you show me what that is?
Me: Um, moms don't really twerk.
Bennett: Oh, so it's like a kid thing?
Me: No!"
L is for Loud: "I'm so used to people shh-ing me that sometimes I beat them to it. I'll put my own hand up and lower the hypothetical volume as if I'm trying to announce that I have it under control."
I is for Illicit: "Now, as a parent myself, I have to imagine there was a time or two that it was a bit uncomfortable to be around me and my love for risque tunes. I'd like to issue a public apology to the adults – especially my parents – who encountered my illicit taste in '90's music."
H is for Handwriting: In school, we learn the proper way to write each letter and once we feel safe and confident we'll start connecting the tops of our fours – and refuse to make every 'r' lower-case. Some people actually don't care at all how their freehand writing looks, or maybe they do but the effort to make it legible is just too great. Who knows?

Saturday, May 17th marks the 60th anniversary of the landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The unanimous ruling overturned the Court's 1896 decision in Plessy vs. Ferguson, which had served as the legal basis for Jim Crow segregation in public facilities across the South, especially in the public schools. The court argued that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal," and that African American children attending segregated schools were deprived of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
Most elected officials in Florida, as in other Southern states, recoiled from the Supreme Court's decision and explored their options for keeping Jim Crow firmly in place. The state first responded by asking the Supreme Court to stay its ruling while it studied the potential effects of desegregation with the help of social scientists.
Governor LeRoy Collins, who took office in January 1955, faced a difficult situation. On the one hand, he recognized that extremism on the segregation issue could cost Florida in terms of tourism and business growth. On the other hand, state legislators favoring complete retention of Jim Crow without compromise were powerful and vocal. Collins attempted to chart a middle course that would preserve school segregation while also retaining Florida's image as a progressive state. In 1957, he asked the Legislature to approve a committee on race relations that would help maintain domestic order and improve living standards for African Americans. Florida lawmakers responded by passing a resolution alleging that the U.S. Supreme Court had overstepped its mandate in ruling school segregation illegal. The resolution called on the State (in essence, Collins) to "interpose its powers between its people and the effort of the said Court to assert an unlawful dominion over them." The full text of the resolution is available as part of our Significant Documents exhibit.
Collins was infuriated by the measure because it was exactly the kind of extreme reaction he feared would hurt Florida in the long run. Because the legislation was merely a resolution and not a bill designed to become law, the governor could not veto it. He did, however, have the opportunity to sign the resolution when it came to his office as a matter of procedure. In place of his signature, Collins filled the middle of the page with a lengthy and dramatic protest against the resolution, calling it an "evil thing, whipped up by the demagogues and carried on the hot and erratic winds of passion, prejudice, and hysteria."
The full text of Governor Collins' statement:
This concurrent resolution of 'Interposition' crosses the Governor's desk as a matter of routine. I have no authority to veto it. I take this means however to advise the student of government, who may examine this document in the archives of the state in the years to come that the Governor of Florida expressed open and vigorous opposition thereto. I feel that the U. S. Supreme Court has improperly usurped powers reserved to the states under the constitution. I have joined in protesting such and in seeking legal means of avoidance. But if this resolution declaring the decisions of the court to be 'null and void' is to be taken seriously, it is anarchy and rebellion against the nation which must remain 'indivisible under God' if it is to survive. Not only will I not condone 'interposition' as so many have sought me to do, I decry it as an evil thing, whipped up by the demagogues and carried on the hot and erratic winds of passion, prejudice, and hysteria. If history judges me right this day, I want it known that I did my best to avert this blot. If I am judged wrong, then here in my own handwriting and over my signature is the proof of guilt to support my conviction.
Although Collins' statement captured a great deal of attention, the Legislature was unmoved. In the same session, it passed a law allowing schools to be closed in the event the federal government used force to desegregate them. Florida's public schools remained almost completely segregated until after 1960.

Rachel Maddow talks about Ethics, Stanford, and Her New BookSunday, March 17th, 2013
Yesterday, Rachel Maddow, host of MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" spoke to the Stanford community about her time as an undergraduate and about her new book "Drift." Memorial Auditorium was packed, filled with students drawn by the chance to see one
of Stanford's most famous alumna.
You could almost miss the fact that the talked was sponsored in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Program in Ethics in Society. But Maddow and the people that introduced her, Professor Rob Reich and senior Jessica Asperger, gave us reminders that the focus of the talk was about ethics, about how the choices we make have consequences.
Maddow first introduced us to this subject by talking about her time at Stanford. Although she didn't have any prior plans to complete a Public Policy major or honors thesis, they became steps towards completing her personal goals. After coming out and deciding to become an active member of a gay community she believed was being terminated by AIDS, Maddow said,"At age 17, I came out and thought my role was to fight." She didn't know what exactly she was going to do or how she was going to accomplish it but the program was one of her first steps down the long road that has allowed her to become one of America's most thoughtful political commentators.

"Education never ends. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last" ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
We cut the knot! We'll be exploring London in November an entire week. We though about going for 3 days, but we wanted to see a lot more, so we made up our minds and planned a 5 day stay. With Belgian beers, a map and 'Time to momo London', the monument and museums were chosen. It's funny how we compared London with Antwerp for a moment thinking we could easily see everything in one day. But the two are non-comparable. London is divided in Neighborhoods. We are going to visit Marylebone, Westminster, ST. James's, Mayfair and Southwark.
Besides that we will be visiting the 'Harry Potter Studio Tour' as well, because we are enormous fans. Shopping trips and afternoon tea isn't excluded as well. We are excited to see the changing of the 'The Queen's Life Guard'. A lot of amazing museums are free and if we had more time we definitely would be visiting more museums besides the National Gallery and Tate Modern. The National Gallery has Painting from: Van Eyck, Botticelli, Rubens Turner, Constable,... I always wanted to see the paintings from William Turner up close! Hopefully they have some of his watercolors as well. Tate Modern features Millais (Ophelia), Waterhouse, Turner, Degas, Picasso, Hirst, Pollock, Bacon, and a lot more. I think I can't express my enthusiasm enough about seeing a lot of art work I've been studying but never had the chance to see with my own eyes. I really look forward to seeing the Water-Lilies from Claude Monet!
Have you ever been to London? Is there something we should definitely see?

1. In a mixing bowl, combined the asiago, mozzarella and Parmesan. In a separate medium bowl, combine the ricotta and egg.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring frequently and controlling the heat to prevent browning, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue whisking until the sauce has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of the prepared pesto. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Whisk 1/4 cup of the pesto cream sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons prepared pesto into the ricotta mixture. Set aside the remaining sauce.
4. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt.
5. Working in batches, add the pasta sheets to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes; transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
6. Grease a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with the olive oil. Add 1/2 cup of the pesto cream sauce to the bottom of the baking dish. Place 1 pasta sheet on top of the sauce. Spread 1/3 cup of the ricotta mixture evenly over the pasta and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the mozzarella mixture. Drizzle 1/3 cup pesto cream sauce over the cheese. Repeat the process, layering pasta, ricotta, mozzarella and pesto cream sauce twice more (3 layers in total). Finally finish with the fourth pasta sheet on top, and cover completely with the remaining pesto cream sauce and ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella mixture.
7. Coat a large piece of aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray and cover the lasagna; bake until bubbling, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and turn the oven to broil. Broil until the top is a spotty golden brown, about 3 minutes. Allow the lasagna to sit for 15 minutes before topping with the roasted pine nuts and chiffonade of basil. Slice and serve.

God in America: One: A New Adam
Special | 56m 1s
In New Mexico, Pueblo spirituality collides with the Franciscan missionaries' Catholicism. In New England, Puritan leader John Winthrop confronts religious dissenters within his ranks. And a new message of spiritual rebirth from evangelical preachers sweeps through the colonies, upending traditional religious authority and kindling a rebellious spirit that converges with the American Revolution.

Jerry Cantrell Reveals Timetable for Upcoming Alice in Chains Album
Alice in Chains have had a few setbacks while recording the follow-up to 2009′s 'Black Gives Way to Blue.' In a new interview, singer-guitarist Jerry Cantrell reveals that the process is full speed ahead and talks about the MusiCares MAP award ceremony taking place tonight (May 31) and what it means to him.
News broke that Alice in Chains were working on their next album almost a year ago, yet here we are still waiting on it's release. One major delay that impeded the process was bone spurs and cartilage problems with Cantrell's shoulder that required surgery. "I had the same issue in the other shoulder about six years ago so I've had them both done now," Cantrell tells GRAMMY.com. "It's a repetitive motion injury from playing. But the repair takes a year. So that kind of set us back a little bit, but it takes time anyway — my body started a vacation."
With Cantrell's recovery in the bag — as well as the writing of the new material — Cantrell says that laying the album down is their current priority. "Now it's time to cut [the album]," says Cantrell. "So we're gonna try to, but if not, it'll probably be out early next year. It'll be out about three or four minutes after we're finished [laughs]. Give the record company time to set it up and plan the attack and tour for hopefully a year, year and a half."
Alice in Chains will perform for the first time this year at the MusiCares MAP awards tonight, where Cantrell will also be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan award for his contributions to the fund that aids artists with substance abuse issues. "A common part of the human experience is if you f— around with it long enough, it's gonna get a hold of you," cautions the AIC singer-guitarist. "A better way to look at it is I admire those guys for the effort they make. It's cool to get here, it's cool to know that you can get here and it's nice to be [proof] that no matter where you find yourself in life you've always got a chance to turn it around."
The event is set to take place at Club Nokia in Los Angeles and in addition to Alice in Chains, the night will feature performances from a lineup hand-picked by Cantrell — Duff McKagan, Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees), Nancy Wilson of Heart, Billy Idol and Moby.

Research and general acceptance
Jenny Craig is a calorie-based three-stage lifestyle weight-loss program that incorporates pre-packaged food, transition to regular food, and long-term weight maintenance.
Jenny Craig and her husband Sig Craig founded Jenny Craig Weight Management Program in Australia in 1983. The program has since expanded to the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Puerto Rico and offers both a center-based program and an at-home program. Craig, who has no training as a nutritionist, based her program on her own successful experience with personalized weight loss. The program has a medical advisory board consisting of at least one physician, nutritionist, and behaviorist. Prepackaged meals are planned by a registered dietitian.
The Jenny Craig program is a three-stage program. In the first stage, dieters eat only Jenny Craig prepackaged foods that are supplemented with approved fruits, vegetables, and non-fat dairy products. These meals contain 50–60% carbohydrates, 20-25% protein, and 20–25% fats, and contain between 1,200 and 2,500 calories daily. This generally is in line with the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005. Vegetarian options are available. However, no other food is permitted during the first stage of the program, which can make eating away from home difficult. The prepackaged meals are intended to model healthy eating and portion control. In the United States in 2007, the cost of one month of pre-packaged meals was about $500. A personalized exercise program supplemented by optional workout videos and workout equipment encourage the dieter to become more active.
Once dieters have used the pre-packaged meals to become familiar with healthy foods and correct portion sizes, they move to the second stage of the program in which written material supported by consultants teach techniques for healthy meal planning, cooking, and eating out. This stage of the program is designed to develop lifelong habits of moderation and good food choices. The consultant also addresses behavioral issues such as handling stress and emotional triggers for eating.
The final stage of the Jenny Craig program is a maintenance stage. Dieters move into this stage when their weight-loss goal is met. This final stage is designed to keep weight off for life.
Dieters can join the Jenny Craig program in one of two ways. Jenny Craig Weight Loss Centers are physical locations that the dieter visits weekly for individual consultations with a Jenny Craig counselor. Unlike some other center-based weight-loss programs (e.g. Weight Watchers), Jenny Craig centers do not offer group meetings. The philosophy behind the Jenny Craig program is one-on-one weight loss help.
Dieters who live too far from a Jenny Craig center or who do not wish to attend one can join Jenny Direct. This is a complete at-home weight-loss program. In the Jenny Direct program, pre-packaged meals and weight-loss literature are delivered to the dieter's home. The dieter is supported by online tools accessed through the Jenny Craig Web site and a required private 15-minute telephone consultation with a Jenny Craig consultant once a week. Consultants do not have formal training in nutrition.
The Jenny TuneUp is targeted at people who have fewer than 20 lb (10 kg) to lose. It is an entry-level program with a low enrollment fee. In 2007, the Jenny TuneUp was advertised in the United States as "Lose 20 lb for $20." JennyOnTrack is a six-month program, and Jenny Rewards is a long-term program. Jenny Craig does not reveal the enrollment costs of the OnTrack and Rewards programs on its Web site, but they amount to several hundred dollars plus the cost of food. Lifetime memberships are available, as are programs for 13-17 year olds and breastfeeding women. All Jenny Craig advertising is geared toward getting the dieter to call a toll-free telephone number for additional information.
The stated goals of the Jenny Craig program are to help the dieter:
- develop a healthy relationship with food
- live an active lifestyle
- achieve a balanced approach to living
The dieter is supported in reaching these goals by a 24-hour 7-day-a-week customer care telephone line, personalized meals and activity plans, one-on-one consultant support, online e-tools, and weight-loss manuals. By achieving these goals, the dieter learns to eat healthy foods in appropriate portions, incorporate exercise into the daily routine, and nurture her (90% of Jenny Craig clients are female) mental and physical well being.
Jenny Craig promises dieters that if they follow her program, they will lose 1-2 pounds or 1% of their body weight weekly. Once the weight-loss goal is met, a maintenance program is designed to solidify lifestyle changes and keep the weight off. Jenny Craig does not make any claims about the percentage of people who successfully keep weight off for an extended period.
The Jenny Craig program appeals to dieters who want low-calorie meals without having to weigh and measure or dieters who are embarrassed to attend group weight-loss programs. They may be a good solution for single people who do not want to cook. However dieters with families may find that the prepackaged approach is less convenient if they still have to cook for family members.
Jenny Craig is a diet and exercise program that meets the basic nutritional needs of most people. As with all diet and exercise programs, individuals should check with their healthcare provider to make sure the program is suitable for them.
Meals on the Jenny Craig plan fall within the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005, and dietary supplements provided with the pre-packaged meals assure that the dieter of getting an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals. The greatest risk to this diet program is that people do not learn how to shop and prepare healthy meals on their own. They lose weight eating the pre-packaged meals, but when they transition to the next stage of the diet, they go back to their old eating habits and gain the weight back. This type of weight cycling or yo-yo dieting can cause potential health problems.
Research and general acceptance
The main client complaint about the Jenny Craig program is cost. Prepackaged food can cost around $500 per month in addition to steep enrollment fees and optional extras such as exercise videos and equipment. Some clients complain that the Jenny Craig personal consultants do not have any formal training in nutrition, and are more like sales people than counselors. Clients also criticize the taste and selection of meals. There is no way try Jenny Craig meals before committing to the program.
The Jenny Craig Web site offers many testimonials and inspiring success stories, but is thin on results from independently conducted research studies. One preliminary study that looked at weight loss, triglyceride levels (an indication of the amount of fats in the blood) and carotenoid levels (an indication of vegetable intake) was paid for by Jenny Craig and performed by a former Jenny Craig advisory board member.
