Lots of stuff to get to, and I only have 10 minutes before I'm scheduled to go on Daily News Live. Carlos Beltran just spoke to the media and confirmed what had become apparent over the last couple of days: the Phillies were well removed from the Beltran bidding by the time everything was settled.
"They never approached me about Philadelphia," said Beltran, who had the right to veto any deal. "The only team they approached me about was the Giants, and of course I said yes."
The Phillies were hesitant to part with the elite prospect that the Mets sought. The Giants ended up sending highly-regarded pitcher Zack Wheeler (No. 35 in Baseball America's latest rankings) for Beltran and $4 million.
The Phillies have been furiously trying to obtain a hitter to help the middle of their order, particularly one that can hit left-handed pitching. Their preference is a player who they can retain beyond this season, since Raul Ibanez will be a free agent and Shane Victorino will be the only outfielder under contract. But the price tags have been astronomical on those hitters. A recent entry into the fray is White Sox right fielder Carlos Quentin, who is making $5 million this season and is signed through 2012. But there are indications that the White Sox are insisting that right fielder Domonic Brown be a part of any package for Quentin. The Phillies, obviously, are reluctant to part with their prized rookie right fielder, despite his slow offensive and defensive start this season. Quentin is a bona fide middle of the order hitter who finished fifth in MVP voting a few years ago and could see a similar finish this season. But he has a history of injuries and is not regarded as a strong defender. The Phillies are concerned about their defense in right field, where Brown is still experiencing some growing pains. The last thing they want is shaky defense to spoil the all-star pitching staff they assembled.
That said, Quentin and the Astros Hunter Pence are the only two obvious everyday upgrades on the market, and multiple reports suggest the Astros are looking for a king's ransom for the right fielder.
Whether the Phillies add Pence or Quentin could come down to whether they decide at the last minute to part with Brown.
Otherwise, they could look for a package deal from the Padres, who have a set-up man in Mike Adams who they love. They also have a right-handed hitting outfielder in Ryan Ludwick.
Gotta run.

CHICAGO (AP) — The U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals took a judicial mulligan Monday after staff failed last week to follow standard practice and record what was supposed to be the only such hearing in a terrorist case touching on surveillance issues broached by Edward Snowden.
The rare do-over of oral arguments at a U.S. appellate court started slowly with one judge even saying she would try and carefully recreate as best she could the questions she asked the parties in the unrecorded hearing.
But any chance of an approximate replay of last week's hearing evaporated when a lawyer for terrorism suspect Adel Daoud abandoned courtroom deference and began clashing with the presiding judge of the three-judge appellate panel, Judge Richard Posner.
Daoud, a 20-year-old U.S citizen, has denied government allegations that he accepted a phony car bomb from undercover FBI agents in 2012, parked it by a Chicago bar and pressed a trigger. His trial is scheduled to start Nov. 10.
"What I don't understand is why you are hostile to me in this? Why your tone of voice is hostile?" asked attorney Thomas Durkin, a nationally prominent defense lawyer who stepped in Monday for another defense lawyer who delivered the arguments last week.
"What? If you don't answer my questions, I get irritated," Posner responded.
Officials said last week that workers responsible for turning on a court recorder at the initial hearing were startled by U.S. agents who swept the room for bugging devices and so assumed — wrongly — that all recordings were prohibited. A recording of Monday's hearing was successfully made and promptly posted on the court website later in the afternoon.
The legal issue at the center of both the original hearing and the do-over was a government request for the court to reverse a trial judge's unprecedented ruling that Daoud's lawyers should be able to see secret records from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or FISA court, about their client.
Prosecutors say opening the secret documents could jeopardize national security. But the defense argues that understanding all the evidence, including any expanded surveillance that may have been used against Daoud, is critical to their client getting a fair trial.
Durkin told Monday's hearing that Daoud was working on a high school term paper about Osama bin Laden around 2012 and that the FISA records could shed light on whether U.S. investigators flagged Daoud because of Internet searches regarding bin Laden.
In his comments to the court, Durkin praised the lower court judge, Sharon Johnson Coleman, saying she displayed courage by becoming the first judge in the FISA court's 36-year history to agree to grant defense attorneys access to such records.
"This is a high-profile case. ... It is a case that calls out for judicial courage," Durkin said.
Unlike at the first hearing, the name of Snowden came up repeatedly as Durkin sought to address the national debate regarding revelations by the former National Security Agency contractor about expanded U.S. phone and Internet spying.
"There are a lot of people questioning the integrity of the system," Durkin boomed.
Judge Posner repeatedly stopped Durkin as the attorney raised wider questions about the extent of government spying.
"You keep wandering off the case," Posner scolded him.
Despite points of tension between Durkin and Posner, there also were moments of levity. That included when Durkin misspoke as the two were arguing and interrupting each other.
"If you'd let me finish, and I don't mean that respectfully," Durkin said before apologizing and correcting himself.
"It's known as a Freudian slip. ... That's when a person reveals what he really thinks," Posner said, smiling.
"You may be right about that," Durkin laughed. "I actually like you, believe it or not."

AG accuses Chicago home repair company of fraud
Illinois' attorney general is suing a home repair company for allegedly cheating Chicago-area residents out of more than $58,000.
Attorney General Lisa Madigan says her office filed the lawsuit Thursday against Rafael Martinez, who operates Chicago-based Abiel Construction Co.
Authorities say Martinez went door to door soliciting home-repair services, demanded down payments and then either failed to complete the repairs or did shoddy work.
His alleged victims included a senior citizen suffering from Alzheimer's disease and a Maywood church.
Madigan says in one case, Martinez's workers allegedly broke a gas line during a kitchen remodeling project, disappeared for a week and then denied the gas line had been damaged. The family already had paid him $20,000, but was forced to pay $5,000 to another contractor to complete the repairs.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Carol Burnett recorded the audio version of her memoir "Carrie and Me," about her late daughter Carrie Hamilton, the actress-comedian sensed she had support.
"I felt Carrie was looking over my right shoulder," said Burnett. "It made me more comfortable, just feeling that she was approving."
Burnett is a Grammy Award nominee for her recording of the 2013 memoir that chronicled her daughter's teenage struggle with addiction, emergence as an actress and writer and, in January 2002, Hamilton's lung cancer death at age 38.
"Carrie and Me" is competing Sunday in the category of best spoken word album with works by Pete Seeger, Stephen Colbert, Billy Crystal and David Sedaris.
Burnett, 80, has received a wealth of honors in her career, including some two-dozen Emmys for "The Carol Burnett Show"; the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
"Carrie and Me" has proved uniquely rewarding.
"I'm getting lovely mail from people who are very impressed with my daughter," Burnett said, including a letter this week from a man fighting depression. "He said he had kind of given up and then he read about Carrie and her fight (against cancer)."
Burnett recalled a hospital nurse asking Hamilton how she remained so cheerful: "Every day I wake up and decide I'm going to love my life," was her reply.
It's Hamilton's vibrant, resilient spirit that dominates "Carrie and Me," even as the book chronicles the tough, three-year fight she and her family waged against her drug use. A heavy cigarette habit she developed during rehab led to her fatal disease, Burnett said.
It's been 12 years since she died but "the wounds are still there. You don't get over it but you learn to cope," Burnett said.
The slender Hamilton, whose appealingly broad grin was a match for her mom's, left behind a list of TV credits including "Fame"; "Hollywood Arms," a play that she co-wrote with Burnett but didn't live to see produced; and an unfinished story about a young woman on a journey of discovery.
She'd asked her mother to complete it for her, but Burnett felt it wasn't her tale to tell. Instead, she decided to write "Carrie and Me" using her memories, notes from her daughter and, to conclude the book, the unfinished story.
Burnett, pleased to introduce readers to Hamilton, didn't shrink from engaging in a bit of mock competition with Colbert, one of the four men she's competing with.
When she appeared by satellite on his show last week, she ended their banter by calling for "the best woman to win" the Grammy.
Make that the best women.

So this might be my last post … forever because "Hurricane Sandy" is planning to make an appearance to the East Coast and I might drown. Okay – maybe not so dramatic, but I don't really do well with rain. So excuse me while I play the victim card and plan for a simpler life in sunny CALI.
Enough of that — I don't know what it is, but whenever I'm actually having sex, I don't really feel the need to talk about it. It's when I'm not having sex that I'm like OMG remember when…
And that's exactly how I'm feeling tonight – I need to get some ass in my life and who knows why the f#ck it's not happening. I remember when I first started having sex — I was very pro-missionary. And not because I thought it felt so ahhhh-mazing, but because I was too shy to do anything else.

Suppose all the people called Roman Catholic had wanted to say goodbye to the pope. Allow them three seconds each for a handshake and a blessing. The parade of the first million would have taken only 36 days. But by the end of this pontificate there were one billion people who are called Catholic. The parade of greeters and blessees would have consumed 96 years of the pontiff's time. One needs few more statistics than those included in this act of imagination to get some sense of the size and scope of the Catholic flock and the duties of the Catholic shepherd named John Paul II. Those of us who have responsibilities toward a family, a parish, a classroom or an office will have difficulty even effecting that act of imagination.
Assigned the task of writing a book on Protestantism, unimaginatively named Protestantism, more than 30 years ago, I looked for the boundaries of the subject. Almost everything Catholics believe some Protestants believe somewhere or other. The only focus of Catholic faith that all Protestants (and Orthodox, and all other non-Catholic Christians) reject is the papacy, as defined by the Catholic Church. The Oxford English Dictionary, for a few lines forgetting the existence of Orthodoxy, defines Protestantism as the Christian churches or bodies which repudiated papal authority.
If the pope is not ours, however, we remain officially sisters and brothers and thus members of the family. Most moves John Paul II made bore upon the rest of Christianity, and many of them had an impact on the rest of the world. John Paul II was colorful, charismatic, intellectually powerful and an activist pope. He was perhaps the most widely recognized person in the worldonly Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan would have been rivals in such rankingand certainly in the church. Only Pope John XXIII will be seen decades from now as a comparably influential 20th-century bishop of Rome, chiefly because he opened the church through the Second Vatican Council. Pope John Paul II had more years and took more opportunities to lead and to shape the church and those parts of the world that he could reach. His legacy will be felt and debated for centuries. The arguments and assessments began almost from the day he was elected and will intensify now with his death.
Nothing within the church moved John Paul II more than the internal diversity of peoples who shared a common loyalty. Nothing disturbed him more than the internal pluralism represented by individuals and sectors of the church where there was dissent from this or that feature of Catholicism that he considered essential. He spent much of his life, including the years before he was pope, delineating how the church should posture itself in respect to its internal life and external affairs.
In 1975 Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Kraków wrote, The church possesses a special interiority and a specific openness. Attentiveness to the special interiority of the church led the pope to set an agenda that was focused on preserving, interpreting and dispensing an integral set of Catholic teachings and practices that he saw to be challenged and threatened by modern Catholics and non-Catholics alike. The specific openness of the church led the same pontiff to set forth a program whose point of convergence led him to take risks in the human city, the polis. One of the grandest ironies of his career was that even as he forbade other priests from engaging in formal politics, he himself was involved in it in headline-making fashion virtually every day. Convinced that he had formulas for keeping the interiority specific and the openness special, John Paul II set out on a pontificate-long effort to get other Catholics to agree with him and serve within boundaries he setor, he would say, reset.
Sexuality and Authority
I sometimes summarize the end-of-the-millennium theme of Christians in all communions as sexuality plus authority. By sexuality I mean to code all elements of bodily existence. Technological changes in our time have made possible in vitro fertilization, many modes of aborting fetuses, new methods of employing artificial birth control and the transplanting of organs. New claims for human autonomy and individualism, for freedom and rights, including those of self-determination, have developed. Taken together, these changes made up much of the scheme of modernity that has proven such a challenge to the pope and to all believers.
The pope could visit Denver and have 400,000 young people pad around behind him without making much news. But when he said the words abortion or birth control or homosexuality, all the reporters' notepads would flip open, and the television cameras would be turned on. John Paul II wanted to address the changes on this front mainly by holding the line, even to the point of drawing some snickers and sneers when he was interpreted as telling Catholic married couples not to have too much fun when enjoying sex within marriage. But no one who takes seriously the meaning of life, faithfulness, generativity and the human future could fail to be moved by the gravity this pope displayed when he discerned the weight of the situation and addressed it from his point of view.
The same impulses that led to his dedication to autonomy and individualism with respect to bodily existence were at work in the realm of governance, of leadership and followership, in church and world. Mass higher education produced a new kind of informed and restless Catholic laity, many of whom were ready to challenge the pope from right or left on almost every issue. The mass media brought news of dissent from anywhere to everywhere instantly and inspired the amassing of support of further dissent wherever there were Catholics.
A Catholic layperson described the change this way: It used to be that what the pope, the bishop or the priest said was binding; now the priests have to convince us before we follow. People like to be led, but leadership has to be charismatic and compelling, not coercive and unconvincing. A pope who moved with ease among the non-Catholic laity, especially the poor, and who could be expansive with non-Catholic Christians where little was at stake grew more tense as he met challenges from Catholic laypeople, especially women, who became expressive as never before during his pontificate, and then from clerics, who, he thought, forgot their place in the hierarchy and overstepped the bounds of obedience.
That the pope learned more than he acknowledged about the shift from coercive to persuasive leadership is clear from the fact that, for all the disturbances of dissenters and all the impulses he must have had to clean the house in fell swoops and with brisk sweeps, the number of priests he tried to rein in or rule outthe Küngs and Boffs and Lefebvres and Currans can be numbered on the fingers of two hands. The pope's ineffectiveness at getting more than a very small minority of Catholic women of child-bearing age to agree theologically or behave as prescribed in the matter of birth control was a manifest signal of the limits of unconvincing teaching. Likewise, the fact that majorities, when convinced, followed him in his interpretation of Catholic teaching against abortion revealed how ready for followership a persuaded communion can be.
Still, efforts to preclude further debate on these and analogous issues have only loaded up the agenda for the pope's successor, who will continue to have to deal with challenges on both fronts. To Catholic questioners and dissenters, including the most reverent and respectful and would-be obedient, it often looked as if, when the pope's arguments were most weak, he would speak out most forcefully but without picking up much assent.
Communism and Capitalism
John Paul II was deeply involved in the fall of Communism. Some biographers wanted to make him central, given his involvement as Pole and pontiff in the challenge of Poland, through Solidarityhe loved the word and the conceptand his international diplomacy in general. Their claim is often challenged; it is very hard to connect cause and effect in human affairs. If the fluttering of a butterfly wing, chaos theorists tell us, can have a role in the development of a tornado in Kansas, then human actions include even more elements of chance, serendipity and inexplicability that will make claims of the sort we have just mentioned controversial. One can say that it surely did not hurt that the pope was Polish, that he cared greatly about human freedom and life in Eastern Europe, and that he enlarged and enjoyed his role both in diplomacy and actions consequent to the end of Euro-Communism.
Even more complex is the pope's legacy with respect to what the world conveniently counterposes as a system and an ideologynamely, capitalism. In his various economic pronouncements and encyclicals, John Paul II said just enough to inspire free market ideologues to make him sound like St. Adam Smith or as a late-starting articulator of Max Weber's Protestant ethic. Plenty of commentators in the Catholic economic camp isolated such capitalist-sounding sentences and used the pope for their cause. But no sooner would they quote such lines than their critics would counter with paragraphs in which the pope issued cautions, made criticisms and prophesied: the market does not automatically produce activity congruent with human need. Wherever he traveled in the Rich World, the pope denounced consumerism, one expression of market economy gone amok, as a threat to the soul and a selfish blinding of the haves to the needs of the have nots. If on the sex and authority front the pope usually sounded defensive, on the world-systems and economic front he was assertive and positive.
Ecumenism and Interfaith Relations
While John Paul II traveled much and carried on many dialogues, he is not likely to be remembered as the shaper in this field that John XXIII and Paul VI were before him. He could not have made more clear than he did his intention to improve relations with the Orthodox, next to whom he had grown up as a Pole. And yet there were no breakthroughs. Toward the end, in fact, there were setbacks on the Catholic-Orthodox front.
When the pope was elected, some prophesied that he would not do well with Protestants, because, again, as a Pole, he had hardly known any. That prophecy inspired not a few of us to remind observers, maybe not to know us is to love us. The pope did come to know Protestant leadership, but his preoccupations were with the special interiority of Roman Catholicism, and his openness to Protestants did not reveal much ambition to effect change, however friendly his gestures were.
On the interfaith front, there were also frustrations and failures. While he certainly intended to be friendly to Jews, Vatican policies in the Middle East were often interpreted by Jews as off-putting. On several occasions the pope reached out tentatively to Muslims. They could not get their own act sufficiently together to respond well; most planned meetings ended in mutual frustration or did not come off at all. During John Paul II's adult years, the world of Islam was prospering. One-seventh of the global population was Muslim at mid-century, and one-fifth had become so by the time of the pope's death. His successor will have to make relations in this area a prime theme on his agenda for the new millennium, especially since Islam and Christianity bump into each other in so many places, not least of all in sub-Saharan Africa.
One looks at the globe with what we imagine to be the pope's eyes. He liked to look toward the east, homeward, as he dealt passionately with Communism and Orthodoxy. He liked less to look northwest and west, to Western Europe and North America, where the challenges of modernity and the lures of autonomy, consumerism and dissent troubled him most. He loved to look south, at the subcontinent of Asia, Latin America and Africa, where he saw the great growth of Catholic and other kinds of Christianity, and, with that growth, challenges and opportunities.
Because he refused to consider the ordination of women or the ordination of married men over the decades of his pontificate, a clergy shortage will be felt in all but the southern and poor worlds into the indeterminate futureor at least, as some of us, including this uncredentialed prophet, like to say, one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half pontificates from now. During his rule, the total number of men and women religious, priests and seminarians declined, a decline that appears more drastic when reckoned against Catholic population growth. There are more and more priestless parishes, and this creates problems with respect to the Mass. The rich Catholic imagination and tradition should inspire fresh ways to effect and interpret the authority to administer the sacraments. If nothing dramatic occurs to reverse trends, the center of worship and church life, the Eucharist, will consequently be moved to the margins. The pope's efforts to preclude even discussion of these themes looked to many restless and creative Catholics as though he had lost faith in his power to persuade.
Near the end of his life the pope made a last valiant peacemaking effort, but it was thwarted. Thoroughly aware of the menace of terrorism and of bloodshed in the Middle East and elsewhere, and as friendly as he might on occasion be with American leaders, he vigorously opposed the idea and then the reality of pre-emptive war on the part of the United States in Iraq. While his words rallied Catholic dissenters against that war policy in America, he seemed to convert few other Catholics to his way of peace. This was also the case on the justice and mercy front, where he opposed capital punishment to little effect in the United States.
One other theme will mark the recollection of John Paul II's years. While some of us might argue with many implications of his teaching and even with some of the foundational reasoning, we remain in his debt for the grand theme expressed in his masterpiece Veritatis Splendor: [T]he cornerstone of my pontificate is to explain the transcendental value of the human person. If you believe in God, you cannot behave in the same way as a person who does not believe in God. Basic belief in God, as revealed in Christ and nurtured in the church under the Holy Spirit, has as its corollary a belief in the idea of human dignity. Whatever else Pope John Paul II set out to teach or to practice, he always kept that dignity before his eyes and those of the church and the world. Being specifically open to the demands that theme will provoke in the new century should be one sign of the influence of Pope John Paul II upon all who came into the zones where this great man acted with dignity, with gravity.

A Spartanburg man was arrested on numerous drug charges following a car and brief foot chase on Tuesday.
A Spartanburg man was arrested on numerous drug charges following a car and brief foot chase on Tuesday.
According to an incident report, officers went to a Beacon Street home to serve an arrest warrant on another person. Deputies saw a truck pull out of the driveway recklessly when they drove up, causing one of the truck's tires to flatten, the report states.
The driver, later identified as Jamod Rashad Gault, 32, of 117 Brandywine Lane, sped off, leading deputies on a chase to Gibson Street, where Gault jumped out of the truck and ran. He was taken into custody after deputies shot him with a Taser to get him to comply with their commands to show them his hands, the report states.
Deputies found crack cocaine, heroin and marijuana in the truck and in Gault's possession, according to the report.
Gault was charged with driving under suspension, failure to stop for blue light, trafficking heroin, trafficking crack cocaine and four other charges related to drug possession or distribution of drugs within proximity of a park, according to warrants.
Gault remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility on Thursday on a $100,000 bond.

Heat Gun
From FamiLAB Wiki
The heat gun is.. well.. a heat gun. It's got two settings, hot and hotter.
Caution: Heat guns get HOT! You can easily burn yourself on the exposed metal, the hot air, or on whatever you're heating up. Be really careful.
Plug it in. It has two settings, Low and High. You make the right choice.
Make sure it's cooled before you put it away or the tip may melt things it contacts!

The eighth annual Niagara Electric Lights Parade honoring the Town of Niagara Bicentennial begins at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3.
Again this year, the parade will not only bring Santa, but will play Santa. There will be a Boot Brigade, with firefighters carrying boots to collect cash to benefit the Niagara Falls Firefighters Toy Fund. Also, volunteers will gather non-perishable food items from spectators.
Each year, thanks to generous donors from throughout the area, the Niagara Falls Firefighters Toy Fund delivers Christmas toys to approximately 1,000 children and provides a delicious meal and holiday-themed entertainment for hundreds of residents of nursing homes and adult care facilities in Niagara County. It also ensures that winter clothing is provided to hundreds of children in need.
Food collected at the parade will go to Community Missions in Niagara Falls. In 2011, the Community Missions Food Pantry served 29,484 meals to 3,276 individuals. If participants instead wish to donate food to their own church food pantries, parade organizers encourage them to indicate the donation is on behalf of the Niagara Electric Lights Parade.
An estimated 70 units, including more than a half dozen bands, will take part in this professionally judged parade, which will begin at Military Road and Fourth Avenue and culminate at the Military Road Kmart. After taking part in the parade, Santa Claus will greet the crowd and visit with children at Niagara Active Hose Volunteer Fire Co., 6010 Lockport Road.
The major sponsor for the parade is Republic Services (Allied Waste Industries of Niagara Falls). Allied Waste owns and operates the Niagara Falls Sanitary Landfill, located at the intersection of 56th Street and Niagara Falls Boulevard.
The Niagara Electric Lights Parade is organized and presented by the Town of Niagara, the Town of Niagara Business and Professional Association Inc. and the Niagara USA Chamber.

Learning Through Cultural Immersion: Short-Term Study Abroad
Imagine the power of studying British paintings in the English village of Wroxton or the medieval philosophy in "Medieval Manhattan" San Gimignano, Italy. Consider the impact of visiting the sites of Bloody Sunday or the Easter uprising for perspective on Ireland's turbulent past, or conducting field work in Belize to gain appreciation for biological and cultural diversity.
When you see the world as your classroom, the opportunities for learning are endless. That's the spirit of study abroad, and the reason Merrimack offers a wide array of options at different times of year, often with career preparation or service-learning components.
In the 2011–2012 academic year, 122 Merrimack students participated in a study abroad program, and a little more than a half selected a short-term option. Lauren Bent, Director of the Office of International Programs, notes that enrollment in short-term programs is growing rapidly—mirroring the national trend as reported in the 2012 Open Doors Report conducted by the Institute of International Education.
Many motivations, many outcomes
Merrimack students select the short-term study abroad option for many reasons, among them, lower expenses and the ability to balance other commitments. Short-term programs also offer students a great way to test drive the study abroad experience—helping them better determine if they'd like to pursue a full semester or year abroad.
Bent recommends study abroad for all students across all majors, saying that it "expands their understanding of themselves, the world, and critical global issues. Study abroad experiences help prepare students to contribute and compete in a global society."
Crossing Borders
The benefits of well-conceived study abroad experiences cannot be overestimated. Adjunct professor and '09 graduate Elisa Kirschhoffer participated in the very first Crossing Borders program to learn about the peaceful co-existence of Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Medieval Spain. "I never imagined that this quick little trip would be a life-altering journey for me. In the months prior to leaving, we studied the period of peace among the Jews, Christians, and Muslims living in Southern Spain in 700-1500 CE."
"Once in Spain, the history was made tangible in the architecture, food, and other aspects of the culture of Andalusian region. We visited mosques, churches, and synagogues. I never expected to be so moved by a place, history, or culture, particularly since I'd already traveled a lot with little more to show for it than great memories." The Crossing Borders experience is designed to help students internalize and spread the themes of religious tolerance, understanding, and appreciation—all essential in helping make conflict among religious groups a thing of the past.
Sarah Wooley '14, a double major in Athletic Training and Spanish, realized the benefits of cultural immersion during her participation in Crossing Borders. "A trip highlight was my stay with host families in Spain and Morocco, which really helped me engage in their culture. My favorite aspect, though, was interacting with students in Morocco who were around my age. This experience complemented my academics. Seeing things firsthand that I'd learned about in class gave me a greater appreciation for them."
Augustinian pilgrimage
Another flagship short-term study abroad program is the annual pilgrimage to Pellegrinaggio, Italy. To personally experience the Augustinian characteristics of community, spirituality, and service, Merrimack pilgrims visit sites that were important to St. Augustine of Hippo Regius and Augustinian friars. Father Jim Wenzel led the first pilgrimage in March of 2000. Since that time, more than 400 alumni, faculty, staff, and students across the extended Merrimack community have participated in this distinctive learning opportunity.
Father Wenzel comments, "I think it is unique to have representatives from all areas of the College, young and old, students, and faculty. It has pleased me very much to see that each year, a distinct community of friends develops and grows prior to and especially during the journey itself. It is truly representative of St. Augustine's emphasis on a community of friends as a distinct locus for the presence of God."
Students prepare for the pilgrimage by participating in pretrip monthly seminars. In addition to traveling to Spain and Morocco, Sarah Wooley also took advantage of the opportunity to travel to Italy this past spring.
This year, the Pellegrinaggio trip happened to fall on Holy Week. Father Wenzel expressed the thrill of being in Rome from the Wednesday of Holy Week until Easter Sunday and participating in Liturgies celebrated by newly elected Pope Francis. "There was even greater joy in Rome because of Francis' recent election as Pope. It was an electrifying experience. This opportunity allowed our participants to understand that we are a worldwide church."
"Study abroad is recommended for all students across all majors who wish to expand their understanding of themselves, the world, and critical global issues," says Bent. "As St. Augustine said, 'The world is a book, and the person who does not travel reads only one page.' In that vein, we hope our students take advantage of opportunities to be well-read, well-traveled global citizens."

"blood" to Jackson Blood. (Just had to add that).
Jackson Blood was born in 1795. In 1815 he came on foot to Yates and purchased a farm near the lake, where he remained until 1830. He then removed to a farm which he purchased on lot 2, just south from Lyndonville, where he remained till his death in 1875. His wife was Mary Phelps, a native of New Hampshire. Their daughter, Mrs. Ira Martin, resides on a part of the same place. C. Jackson Blood, a son and a prominent citizen of Yates, died in the town in 1888. Source: Landmarks of Orleans County, New York, by Isaac Smith; http://tinyurl.com/btz3da
Another of the older citizens of Yates has gone. Mr. Jackson BLOOD died of cholera morbus, about two o'clock on Saturday last, after a brief illness of a little over two days. Mr. BLOOD was one of the Pioneers of this town, having moved and settled here in 1818. He was born in New Ipswich, N. H., on the 22d day of January, 1793, and was consequently in the 79 year of his age at his death.
Mr. BLOOD resided in Boston and Cambridge about the time of the war of 1812, and stood two different drafts for that war. He was married in 1814 to Miss Mary PHELPS, his now surviving widow. He made his first visit to what is now the town of Yates in 1817, having made the journey from N. H. and return on foot. The following year he moved his family, with an ox team, first to Batavia and thence to this town, the journey occupying twenty-one days. He made a public profession of religion and was baptised into the Yates Baptist Church on the 22d day of September, 1822, being the first person baptised into that church after its organization on the sixth day of June previous.
His funeral was attended to-day by a large concourse of friends and citizens from the Methodist house in this place. Rev. W. T. Potter, the Pastor of the Baptist Church officiating, assisted by Revs. Dr. Chamberlain and K.(?) E. Brownlee. The sermon was from the 17th Psalm, 15th verse. Yates, Sept. 4th W. T. P.

Explain why it is that when you throw two dice you are more likely to get a score of 9 than of 10. What about the case of 3 dice? Is a score of 9 more likely then a score of 10 with 3 dice?


text: My son is 3 1/2 months old. He is gaining well with no problems. The amount he eats dailing had increased around week 11 at his growth spurt and has continurped to remain high. Recently he has been quite ravenous in the evening. Very hungry. Falls asleep after nursing then awake after 10-15 min and hungry again. This goes on 3-4 times. He gets fussy because he is tired. He is sleeping one less hour now during his first stretch (his longer stretch) or sometimes less than he did before and also wakes for an additional feeding. He also isn't napping well. I don't think my supply is enough for him. I am now pumping less at work than what he is eating. I am trying to increase it without success at this point. It is starting to stress me out. I am considering supplementing with formula in the evening. I am thinking 2-4 ounces of formula (while pumping at this time) and then nursing after if still hungry. What I'm looking for is some suggestions and if you think what I am thinking of doing is right.

SOMERSWORTH — Bail was set at $10,000 cash or bond Tuesday for a Somersworth man who allegedly robbed an Epping Market Basket citing "financial troubles" as the reasoning behind his actions.
Eric DuBois, 32, with a last known address 54 Franklin St., allegedly went into the Market Basket in Brickyard Square off Route 125 in Epping on Saturday and handed an employee behind the customer service counter a note demanding money so "no one would get hurt," according to Epping Police Capt. Jason Newman.
Police responded to the scene at 3:07 p.m. for the report of a robbery.
DuBois reportedly fled the scene on foot and to a vehicle in the parking lot, but officers were able to view the vehicle and send out a bulletin with description to neighboring police agencies, Newman said.
Barrington police witnessed the vehicle traveling north on Route 125 as it proceeded to Rochester where DuBois ultimately crashed the vehicle.
During an interview with Epping police who arrived to the Rochester scene, DuBois admitted to committing the robbery and told officers he needed the money due to financial problems.
In an article printed in the Union Leader on Wednesday, it is reported that DuBois is a father of three who "simply made a bad choice."
The article states he exited the grocery store with $163, and police were able to recover $158 that had been "separated by denominations" in his vehicle during a search.
It also reports that a store manager was not far behind DuBois when he fled into the parking lot of the shopping plaza, and that the note he had handed a clerk at the service desk read, "Stay Calm. Give me all your money or I start hurting people starting with you. MAKE IT FAST."
He was arraigned Tuesday at the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood where bail was set and he was ordered held at Strafford County Jail on bail or bond. He was arraigned Monday in Rochester on charges of reckless operation, reckless conduct, disobeying a police officer, and driving after suspension, four charges brought against him by Barrington police, according to the Union Leader article.
Newman said the Epping Police Department would like thank the Barrington and Rochester Police departments for their assistance with the incident and said their efforts on Saturday were appreciated.
DuBois faces a probable cause hearing in Brentwood on Feb. 27 at 10 a.m.

This is a guest post from Chase Miller, a high school student from Orange County, California. He loves to surf, travel, Tweet, and catalog life through photography.
"Where are you going to college?"
"What are you going to major in?"
"What kind of career do you want?"
As senior year flies by like a speeding car, there are certain questions I have been asked countless times by friends, family members, and coworkers. These questions are probably the same for every high school senior — what's next? What do I want to do with my life?
Intimidating price tags on a college education
Now this isn't a bad thing, in fact I think it's rather positive. Deciding on what you will do after high school is part of growing up and setting a course. But with the average cost of attending a private university in the U.S. at a staggering $28,500 per year, not including room and board, the goal of attending a four-year college without debt seems unattainable to most people.
What's even more discouraging is that with these price increases, many are going to community college. Classes are now overcrowded and difficult to enroll in.
My plan for a debt-free education
I have always had a goal of staying debt-free through college, which is why I had a formula since entering high school. Below are some things I have done to cut the cost of college for myself. They are easy steps other students can replicate no matter where they live.
- The first thing I did was to take college classes when I was in junior high. They were all online, and I did them in addition to my regular junior high classes. Back then I took them to prove to myself that I could do it, but now I realize how beneficial they were. When I graduate high school this spring, I will have 32 college credits, which equals a full year of college. What's amazing is that these credits didn't cost me a dime, as junior high and high school students can take college courses for free in California. Talk about a money saver — this will allow me to graduate an entire year early!
- I plan to go straight to a four-year university, but with a few sacrifices. Having the college experience of living in the dorms and making lifelong friends is something I have always wanted to experience, so I plan to make cuts in other areas. My plan is to go to a local four-year university and only live on campus the first year. The second and third year I will live at home and commute to classes and school activities. This will allow me to make friends and experience living in a dorm for the first year. I've estimated that doing this will save more than $20,000 in room and board expenses for those three years.
- While in college, I will be without a car. While this will be a difficult adjustment, in reality a car is not a necessity, and I can always get a ride from a friend and use public transportation to get to class when I'm not living on campus. I should save approximately $24,000 by living without a car.
My total savings from taking these three steps comes to an estimated $81,000. Not everyone can or should follow my exact plan, but when you get motivated and creative I think most anyone can find a way to get a college degree without taking out student loans.

The story of how a Gibson B.B. King Lucille found its way back to the blues legend is in a new book. The tale is in B.B. King's Lucille and the Loves Before Her.
In 2009, Eric Dahl found an electric guitar in a Las Vegas pawnshop that had been stolen from King. Dahl didn't know that at the time, so he simply bought the Lucille. The Southeast Missourian reports Dahl saying it was "the discovery of a lifetime."
"I've played guitar since I was 5, and have collected guitars since high school," Dahl said. "I started going to pawn shops in Cape to look at guitars, and I continued that when I moved to Las Vegas. I got in good with some of the owners, and I told them to let me know if something interesting ever came in."
Contacted about the Lucille, Dahl bought it… and later found a small stamp on the back of the guitar reading: Prototype 1.
Dahl contacted Gibson who confirmed Gibson the company had presented the Prototype 1 model to B.B as an 80th birthday present in 2005, and it had been used as his main guitar during performances. But it was then stolen in the summer of 2009.
"That started my research," Dahl says. "I learned from sources in the guitar world that Gibson made 80 anniversary Lucilles, but there were also two prototype models made. Then I contacted a Gibson representative who told me that the Prototype 1 electric guitar had been stolen from Mr. King in the summer of 2009."
Dahl got to meet B.B. to hand the guitar back, and it inspired him to write his book, B.B. King's Lucille And The Loves Before Her.
"Nobody else had done a book about Mr. King's music gear," he said. "The book was three years of research. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad I finished it."
The book contains the history and color photos of each guitar King is known to have used during his epic career, starting with the one-string Diddley Bow he played as a child in Mississippi. The book also contains information about King's other pre-Lucille guitars, including a Schmidt model named Stella.
Dahl himself is a huge B.B. King fan and adds his book "is for Mr. King to know about while he is still alive. I think he'll enjoy it."

Sometimes when we're buying parts and accessories for our audio systems (or anything else for that matter), it's tough to decide which one to get because we know that down the road, system changes, upgrades and expansion are bound to occur. This is especially true when selecting things like distribution blocks for fusing and grounding.
The folks at KnuKonceptz have come up with a brilliant method of fixing that problem. Their power distribution and grounding blocks can be configured in different ways to satisfy your present needs and future system requirements. They sent us the "KonFUSED 2/3/4 Way Power Distribution and Ground Block," also known as the KNF60.
Measuring approximately 4.75 inches by five inches, this cleverly designed, patent-pending distribution block is basically composed of three input and three output terminals. A sturdy snap-on top cover protects the terminals from exposure. Sounds pretty standard right? That's about all that is standard on the KNF60. The ingenious part is that you can connect these six terminals together in a wide variety of configurations. Each KNF60 comes with a selection of mini ANL-style fuses and straight high-current jumper bars. By placing the fuses and jumper bars across the various possible terminal locations, you can create your own custom block with linked, fused or open terminals for whatever you're building.
Included are four 150A and two 100, 60, 50, 40 and 30A fuses. In addition, five of the high-current jumper plates are also included.
To make sure connections are secure and have low electrical resistance, the KNF60 uses high performance compression fittings rather than set screws. The compression fittings that come installed in the block include four zero-gauge and two 4-gauge connections and with the heavy-duty black chrome terminals, the block can handle up to 300 amps of current per circuit.
To give an idea of the flexibility of this system, we provided the following examples of some ways the KNF60 can be configured.
So if you've been looking for a distribution block that can be customized to suit any installation and future changes or additional gear, the KNF60 (or other configurable KnuKonceptz distribution blocks) could make you a very happy camper. And for just $39.95, your wallet will be happy too. Check them out online, at knukonceptz.com.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Pfizer (PFE – Free Pfizer Stock Report), the world's largest drugmaker and a Dow-30 component, reported fourth-quarter earnings of $0.86 a share, versus $0.19 in the comparable period of 2011. The strong year-over-year improvement was largely attributable a $4.8 billion gain from the sale of its nutrition business at the end of November. Adjusted earnings, which excludes these items and other one-time charges, came in at $0.47 a share, versus $0.49 in 2011. Upon the announcement, shares of Pfizer edged up more than 2% in early morning trading—making a 52-week high in the process.
Overall, it was a solid quarter for Pfizer, as performance exceeded expectations. Although generic deterioration on Lipitor continued to weigh on the top line (total revenue declined 7% to $15.1 billion), the fallout was slightly less than we had anticipated. Effective cost management and strong sales growth from the Emerging Markets (+17%) and Consumer Healthcare (+16%) segments also helped drive earnings.
While Lipitor continues to dominate the headlines, improved contributions from newer products, and positive news from the pipeline, lead us to believe better days are ahead for Pfizer. Key drugs, such as Lyrica, Celebrex, and Prevnar 13, all reported double-digit growth during the fourth quarter, helping to partially mitigate a 71% decline in worldwide Lipitor sales. Moreover, the company recently introduced two new products with the potential to be multi-billion-dollar-a-year blockbusters. Pfizer's Xelijanz pill, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, was approved in November and is the first of a new type of medicine for the disease. Eliquis, a blood-thinner that Pfizer co-developed with Bristol-Myers Squibb, gained regulatory approval in December and is expected to be widely available in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2013.
For 2013, management released its GAAP earnings guidance range of $1.50-$1.65 a share, and adjusted earnings of $2.20-$2.30 a share. The guidance reflects revenue projections of $56.2 billion-$58.2 billion, SI&A expenses of $15.6 billion-$16.6 billion, R&D expenses of $6.5 billion-$7.0 billion, and an effective tax rate of approximately 28%. For the time being, we are leaving our GAAP earnings estimate unchanged at $1.70 a share.
All told, our investment thesis remains the same from our January 11th report. Pfizer is a strong company with solid fundamentals and sizable shares in most markets. Although patent expirations on several key products remain a near-term concern, we believe the drugmaker should be able to effectively weather the storm given its impressive track record. Encouragingly, the company has reported significant pipeline progress in recent months and, in our view, it is only a matter of time before these products are developed into meaningful top-line contributors. For investors seeking an attractive and well-defined total return play with relative stability, good-yielding Pfizer's stock has an above-average dividend yield and a top rank for Safety (1). The company's Financial Strength (A+) is also outstanding.
About The Company:Pfizer is a major producer of pharmaceuticals, hospital products, consumer products, and animal health lines. Important product names include Norvasc (cardiovascular); Zoloft (antidepressant); Zithromax (antibiotic); Lipitor (cholesterol); Aricept (Alzheimer's); Cardura (cardiovascular); Diflucan (antifungal); Zyrtec (antihistamine); Viagra (impotence); and Celebrex (rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis). International sales accounted for about 60% of total sales in 2011.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

Today, Days of Our Lives fans will hear gossipy Kinsey (Shelby Young) mention the name "Chad" to Mia, (Taylor Spreitler) causing her to drop a mug. Those of you who have been following the story, will assume that Chad must be her ex-boyfriend and the one who fathered baby Grace. You'll have assumed correctly, but the twist is, the one person who probably should know about the pregnancy and about Grace - Chad - doesn't. Yet.
Casey Deidrick joined the cast of Days of Our Lives recently to provide more of a look into Mia's past. It's the start of summer, and summers in Salem are often dedicated to the youthful storylines involving teenagers. This is how fans got to know and love Belle and Shawn. Soaps.com is looking forward to a summer with the younger crowd in Salem and has been chatting up the actors in order to get fans prepared for what's to come! We got to know Casey a little this week and Chad and hope fans will enjoy what he has to say about his new part on the show.
Soaps.com: How did you find out about the audition? There were a few roles up at the time that you auditioned. Did you originally audition for Chad?
Casey Deidrick: I originally auditioned for the role of Tad, about a month and a half prior to hearing about my test audition for Chad Peterson. I went to producers for the role of Tad, it was one of my best callback auditions I've ever done, but I obviously wasn't right for the role. The casting director (Marnie), was amazing to work with, she definitely challenged me more than any casting director I've ever auditioned for. I guess I made a good impression on her because it wasn't long until I found out I was going straight to test for the role of Chad Peterson. I worked really hard on this character, and I dove into it many different ways and some things worked and some didn't, but there were certain characteristics of the character that stuck with me all the way up to the test. I signed a [really long] contract and found out almost 2 weeks later that I got the job.
Soaps.com: What can you tell us about your character?
CD: Chad Peterson has trouble written all over him, yet I believe he means well. There's a part of him that you hate, and love at the same time. He's a very confident, edgy, mysterious person. He's the type of person that can persuade you by his words. It's tough to break him, it seems like he's seen and been through a lot in the past...maybe a rough history with his parents, or abandonment issues. He will definitely bring out a side of Mia (Taylor Spreitler) that no one has ever seen before. The love triangle between Will/Mia/Chad is getting intense.
Soaps.com: You've been put into a group of great young actors/characters such as the ones you've mentioned (Mark Hapka (Nathan Horton), Molly Burnett (Melanie Layton), and Taylor Spreitler (Mia)). Did you know any of them before you started this role? Since you've met, have you hung out with any?
CD: I have the pleasure of working with Mark Hapka, Molly Burnett, Taylor Spreitler, and Dylan Patton. We all get along so well on set, it's chaos when we all get together, [laughs] yet we are all very focused individuals. I wouldn't want to spend my days on set with anyone else, we encourage each other and all get along so well. I actually knew Taylor Spreitler before my audition for Chad, she is actually a very good friend of mine, which is why I'm sure the chemistry came across on camera the way that it did. She is such an amazing actress and person. I feel so blessed to be able to work with her on a daily basis.
Soaps.com: You're in a metal band and have been for over 3 years. What can you tell fans about your band, such as what type of music you play, who is your inspiration, how did you get started, where do you jam and which venues do you play?
CD: I've been in metal bands all throughout high school back home in Colorado, and just recently I got into a new band called, A Dreadful Fall. I've been in this band for almost 7 months now. We just finished recording a 4 song e.p. The band is so stoked on the new music, and we're in the middle of writing more songs. Fans of Chad might see a similarity between my music and Chad. When preparing for the role, I sort of looked at Chad as a rock star because they have a different way of looking at things, different from anyone else. Which I think viewers will see in Chad as the story progresses. Anyways, back to the band, [laughs] we are a metalcore/hardcore band. We get a lot of our inspiration from bands we listen to, (August Burns Red-being my favorite band, All Shall Perish, Parkway Drive, Bring Me the Horizon) basically anything heavy with epic break downs; I'm all about the breakdowns. My life inspires the lyrics I write for the songs, things that have happened to me in the past, my childhood, past relationships, new relationships I've encountered living out here in Los Angeles, and basically writing about things that all kids my age are growing through right now. It's my attempt to reach out and help kids who are going through the same situations I've been through. We play all over the Los Angeles area, fans can reach us on MySpace.
Friday June 19 is Casey's debut in Salem. Congratulations goes out to Casey for snagging this role.
- Christine Fix

Napoli striker Edinson Cavani has spoken optimistically of his side's title chances, stating that he and his team-mates are "on the case".
The Partenopei are currently second in the Serie A table - two points behind leaders Juventus - and Cavani believes that the Scudetto is a realistic target this season.
"Winning the championship is not a dream so far. Juve are easily reachable. Let's just say that the team and I are on the case," Cavani told reporters.
"I did not come to Naples to do more than [Diego] Maradona. I came here to get into people's hearts and leave a mark in the history of the club."
Cavani was full of gratitude for his current situation, but admitted that his competitive nature was a huge driving force behind his success and that Napoli must be prepared to try anything to be victorious.
He added: "For me it is an exceptional time and I have to thank, first and foremost, my family.
"Whenever I'm on the field I want to win at all costs, I struggle to digest the defeats.
"In life you can be as gentle as doves, but on the field we players have to be eagles."

These circle segments are a flow from the inner circle to the outer segments, not a typical circular flow. They are sometimes even good to use instead of a bullet alternative if there isn't a lot of text. The series FR062 is the same series except the flow is from the outer segments to the inner circle. These series can be used together: some segments flow in and some flow out. See the tutorial to learn how to do this and to see formatting suggestions.

NEW YORK (AP) — Philip Roth, one of the world's eminent men of letters, is apparently confused about the meaning of the word "retirement."
All it took to upend his latest farewell was an invitation from Stephen Colbert.
Comedy Central spokesman Steve Albani told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the celebrated novelist has agreed to an "extended interview" in July for the cOlbert Book Club.
The 81-year-old Roth has more than once announced he has given his last interview and over the past two weeks has insisted he's done with making public appearances. One promise to quit has been kept: He hasn't released a new book since 2010.
Known for such works as "Portnoy's Complaint" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "American Pastoral," Roth has rarely appeared on television and Colbert may not seem the most obvious candidate to lure him to the small screen. But the comedian and heir to David Letterman on CBS' "Late Show" is widely respected in the literary community. He has been among the most popular speakers at BookExpo America, publishing's annual national convention, and his many author interviews include a hilarious talk with Maurice Sendak that aired in 2012.
Colbert's book club, the name spelled with an Oprah-esque capital O, has included segments on Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. According to Albani, the entire episode will be dedicated to Roth, whom he called an "iconic author."

07 December 2009|
The chance to land the cover didn't come easy and careful selection of the rollers ensured a spot in PAS Magazine history. Rhee contacted HRE for a custom set of 890R wheels in 21-inch sizing. The fronts are an impressive 21x9-inches with the rear measuring 21x10.5-inches both of which wear Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires. The already impressive AMG brakes were bumped up to Brembo 6-piston / 405mm combo fitted to the front axles and 380mm in the rear gripped by 4-piston monoblock calipers.
Now we'll tell you why Rhee needed to upgrade the brakes! The CLS55 was tweaked to produce over 700hp! Tuned by a VRP ECU, the list of upgrades enhances this performance sedan's already great abilities. A VRP crank pulley was added to churn more boost out of the supercharger. The airways have been opened up with VRP carbon airboxes, carbon tubing and polished 80mm throttle bodies. The cams were replaced with high-lift VRPs to make maximum use of the extra air introduced to the mix. A VRP intercooler kit has been added on the chilled side with VRP long tube headers on the hot side connected to a stainless dual exhaust system.
The luxurious interior of the CLS55 doesn't require much of an upgrade, but the CNC crew decided to reinvent it in a way that at first surprised Rhee. "The interior is certainly not what one would expect inside a CLS… I am still in shock by how radical it is but how well it works with the exterior," says Rhee.
The CNC team started by carefully stripping the fine leather hides off the frames and sourced out some even more expensive fabrics. Leather was mixed with a diamond stitched Alcantara to create one unique appearance inside. The seat backs were molded in carbon fiber and then candied to match the exterior. The steering wheel was molded in carbon fiber and all of the wood trim was re-engineered in hot candy apple red carbon fiber.
The fabric treatment was carried on to the trunk where the under lid was recovered in Alcantara. Then five LCD screens were fitted to the fiberglass subframe to replay streams from several different sources. Lurking beneath the trunk are twin JL 12-inch subs firing forward powered by a JL Audio monoblock amp. The balance of the system are Focal components powered by a JL Audio 4-channel amp. The OEM headunit remains up front offering all of the playback formats and navigation needed.
Plated and registered, you just might see this car running the streets sometime. A departure from what you might expect to see in a custom Benz with an almost Hotrod inspired approached to customization. The team at CNC is certainly rewriting the rules on how to set your car apart from the rest.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators in a bipartisan group crafting a comprehensive immigration bill said Tuesday they're not sure whether they can meet a self-imposed March deadline but they're optimistic about a deal soon.
The lawmakers in the "Gang of Eight" have been meeting several times a week to write sweeping legislation that would strengthen the U.S.-Mexico border, improve legal immigration, crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants and provide an eventual pathway to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
When they unveiled legislative principles in January, the senators announced they hoped to release a bill sometime in March. Now, several senators — including John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio — say they're not sure if they'll meet the goal. But lawmakers downplayed the significance of a short delay.
"I don't know about timeframe, I'd rather do it right than do it fast," Rubio said. "But I think we're making good progress."
Congress is on recess the last week of March and first week of April. The senators are likely to release their legislation soon after they return from the recess, and there would likely be a vote in the Judiciary Committee soon thereafter.
The legislation is certain to be controversial and may spark passionate opposition from lawmakers' constituents at town halls and elsewhere. Such opposition helped sink the last congressional attempt at overhauling immigration laws, in 2007. So even if it were finished in time, Graham said it wasn't a good idea to release the bill before a two-week recess.
"You don't want to leave it hanging out for two weeks to get shot up," he said.
A number of thorny details remain unresolved.
Lawmakers said one of the toughest is figuring out the design of a temporary worker program that would govern how future low-skilled workers can come to the U.S. Graham and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., had asked the Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO to try to work together to resolve the issue, but after agreeing last month on broad principles, the two sides have not reached final resolution. Senators have been intervening to try to work out the details and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue both were on Capitol Hill Tuesday for meetings.
