With the number of hunters in the United States in steady decline, it's refreshing to know there are still young hunters coming up the ranks.
With the number of hunters in the United States in steady decline, it's refreshing to know there are still young hunters coming up the ranks. While most young hunters get introduced to hunting via a relative or good friend, there are many organizations that help along the way. One of them is the Sullivan County Longbeards, a local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation.
Each year the group hosts a variety of outdoor-oriented youth events and contests that bring out hundreds of youths and their families. This past hunting season they sponsored their annual big buck contest, and the winner was Anthony Celano. The 15-year-old hunter shot a 145-pound, seven-point buck during the special Columbus Day weekend youth deer hunt.
For his efforts, Celano won a .22-caliber 250 Camo Savage bolt action rifle, and a free mount of his buck from TK Taxidermy in Youngsville. Congratulations to Celano and to many more safe and successful hunts. Also a big thanks to the Sullivan County Longbeards, who take the time to create great outdoor events for young hunters.
For Longbeards information, go to www.sullivancountylongbeards.org.
Word from the NY Crossbow Coalition is that state Assemblyman Sean Ryan, D-Buffalo, and state Sen. Pat Gallivan, R-Elma, have reintroduced crossbow legislation.
Both Ryan and Gallivan sponsored similar bills during 2012 but were unable to get them passed. The Assembly version of this bill is A283 and the Senate companion bill is not yet identified.
Each year we seem to inch closer to what I feel is the ability to hunt with a crossbow during both the early and late archery seasons. For starters, this bill would define the crossbow as it should be: a bow or archery implement. Some groups, notably the NY Bowhunters want the crossbow to be defined as a rifle. You can go to their website to see the lengths they go to convince you that the crossbow is a firearm. The websites are nycrossbowcoalition.com, and newyorkbowhunters.com.

The Countdown is Over: Accordance for iOS is Here
At the risk of making your New Year's Eve countdown anticlimactic, the countdown to the release of Accordance for iOS is now over. Accordance for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch became available for download in the iTunes app store yesterday afternoon. It's a free app, and once installed, you can use Easy Install to download almost all of your existing Accordance modules. The exceptions are those modules which are only available on disk and not currently downloadable. In a future update, we'll add the ability to sync with your desktop Accordance to get those modules as well, but we decided not to hold up the release of the app for a handful of modules.
Those who are new to Accordance can, of course, enjoy the app with a handful of free modules, including the English Standard Version courtesy of Crossway. This special iOS edition of the ESV includes Strong's numbers so anyone who uses our app will have access to the Greek and Hebrew behind a modern English Bible.
Those who create a free online account with Accordance will also be able to download additional free modules. And as previously mentioned, those of you who sign in with your existing Accordance account will be able to download any purchased modules available through Easy Install.
To learn the ins and outs of Accordance for iOS, you can check out these Help pages. There is also a new section of our forums dedicated to discussions of Accordance for iOS.
We're very excited to finally get this initial release into your hands, and we know that our work on this app is only just beginning. There are lots of important features to add and room for refinement, but we hope you'll find this initial foray into iOS well worth the wait.
Happy New Year!

Um... You made it 4.2 only! Why???
David Lang
Jon, we debated the decision to go to 4.2 only, but finally did so because it will enable us to implement some planned features which would otherwise be impossible.
Boy, my 1st generation iPod Touch is feeling really old right now. Wish I had the money to upgrade.
Shame about the 4.2 only, I was looking forward to using it. Perhaps in a few months.

Are there plans to sync the "My Bible Notes" with user notes on the desktop? I'd love access to my notes on my iPhone.

When Churchill was felicitated on his eightieth birthday by a grateful nation, he replied in the House thus, "I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely that I inspired the nation. It was the nation and the race dwelling all round the globe that had the lion's heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar."
The young Churchill was a troublesome boy.
"Churchill, I have very grave reason to be displeased with you." said the head master of Harrow School.
"And I, sir, have very grave reason to be displeased with you." replied the impudent scholar.
"Mr. Churchill, I care for neither your politics nor your moustache," remarked a young female dinner companion to the newly bewhiskered Winston.
"Don't distress yourself," he replied, "You are not likely to come in contact with either."

Browsing through the list, I'm learning about things I never even knew I was interested in. Among the gems:
• The Penny Postcard Archive has hundreds of scans of pre-1940 postcards, organized by state and county.
• The Lost Formats Preservation Society documents data storage methods gone by the wayside. (You surely know the eight-track, but do you know the four-track?)
• In the Pre-and-Post War American Advertising Galleries you can view more than 7,000 ads from 1911-1955 divided into the categories of beauty and hygiene, radio, television, transportation, and World War II.
• The WPA Calendar Project shows off the gorgeous 1939 calendar created by the Federal Art Project.
• And just for fun, the Condiment Packet Gallery.

If you are told that everyone in Guantanamo Bay's U.S. prison is the same as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, read this story:
It is a strange population, the 171 men still left at Guantánamo. There is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and another two dozen hardened militants, who will never be released. This class of prisoner represents a small minority of the population. Then there are the others — about a hundred men, mostly Yemeni, who have been cleared to leave but have no place to go, as no country will take them. And there are another thirty-five or so like Noor. They are nameless, low-level operatives, or hapless men who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are the detritus of a decade-long war.
They can't simply be released. That would be admitting that they aren't as bad as the government once said they were. And most can't be tried, either, because much of the evidence against them — if there is any — is too fraught, as it was gotten by torture, and would never have even been considered to be evidence in any American judicial proceeding before September 11, 2001. And no serious person would have ever argued for it as such.

Hello, my name is Leo and I need to know if i can use ajax to do the following
i connect my mobile to my computer. i launch an app on my computer. i enter my login info. i click connect and i see "Connecting..." <= What happens is that the application connects to my mobile and retrieves a list of pictures from my picture AND retrieves a list from a webserver. left column is webserver list. right column is mobile list. column in between tells me if they match or not. if they dont match i click on update and the pic from the webserver that doesnt match the one in my phone will be downloaded to my phone. The criteria for deciding if they match or not is DATE MODIFIED. nothing related to image processing. just a tag. Obviously the older one will b replaced with the latest copy.
Also, this application will allow me to browse through the list of pidcs i have in my cellphone, sort them, and search.
This leads to my guess that my mobile will have to have some application with a directory of its own that will store these pics in it. they shouldnt b in the images section of a cellphone where ur pics get stored in when you take a pic or recieve one. UNLESS my app can access that public section and only show me pics with particular tags or file extensions.
Which brings me to my final function. The mobile app i just mentioned should also allow me to browse, sort, and search for my business cards without connecting it to the pc and doing it from the pc. Also, i should b able to send pics from my cell to someone else's cell who obviously will have to b using the same app as mine.
Can I do this with ajax? If not or if i need programming languages to do this, can u plz provide me with some guidelines? thank you.

Well, heck — while they're on a gigantic running-around-Congress tear anyway, why not delay effects of the law that Congress just passed and President Obama just signed two weeks ago? Via the NYDN:
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and 71 other congressional Democrats are asking the agriculture secretary to delay a new law cutting food stamps for hundreds of thousands of Americans.
"Our states need time to adjust their policies to accommodate this drastic cut and roll out the changes seamlessly," the lawmakers say in a letter they plan to send Tuesday to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
Gillibrand lined up the lawmakers to sign off on the letter, which asks Vilsack to delay until next fall a provision in the massive farm bill Congress passed this month that cuts $8 billion in food stamp aid.
That $8 billion spending cut, by the way, is going to come over ten years and amounts to a barely one percent reduction to the federal food stamp program's budget, and according to the farm bill, the USDA is supposed to start phasing them in next month. These Democrats, evidently, are having difficulty abiding by that "drastic" cut for the sake of our national budget, despite the noticeably absent "stimulus" effect Secretary Vilsack once promised would result from the tens of millions more Americans added to the food-stamp rolls during President Obama's tenure.
Which, funnily enough, seems to have a lot in common with the other "stimulus" effects we were promised would push the economy toward "recovery." Five years later, how is it possible that so many Democrats like Gillibrand are simultaneously arguing that President Obama's spending endeavors have helped add jobs and wealth to the economy, but that anything less than maintaining the recently-enlarged food-stamp status quo is flat-out unacceptable? Does that seem at all inconsistent to anyone else? Via the WSJ:
Democrats and Republicans used the five-year anniversary of the 2009 stimulus law to debate the measure's effectiveness, a feud that highlights how the deep divisions over the connection between federal spending and economic growth continue to challenge policy makers. …
The White House on Monday released a 70-page report that said the law "created or saved an average of 1.6 million jobs a year for four years," and raised the country's gross domestic product by between 2% and 3% from late 2009 through mid-2011. …
On one of the most polarizing points, the White House in its report said the law "had at most a minimal impact on the long-run debt," arguing that the economic growth caused by the law offset or "eliminated" the costs. …
"If you recall five years ago, the notion was that if the government spent all this money—that, by the way, was borrowed—that somehow the economy would begin to grow and create jobs," said Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), in a video message released Monday morning. "Well, of course, it clearly failed."
You can say that again.

Documentaries about World War 2, Nazis, battles, etc. are certainly popular; at one time they seemed to constitute the entire output of the History Channel. On DVD they're a mixed bag, because a disc with a provocative title can easily turn out to be a sloppy hack job repeating the same old mangled newsreel footage we've seen forever, combined with a slack commentary and perhaps some personal reminiscences by witnesses or participants.
Josef Goebbles was the head of Adolf Hitler's heinous propaganda ministry. In the average docu, we expect to see him in same twenty or so news film shots, standing next to Hitler or speaking at a microphone. The narrator then, must tell us not only facts about the Reichsminister but how to feel about him. Not only do we have to take the docu's thesis on faith, we're left with a lot of unanswered questions. What was this man like and how did he perceive his place in the Third Reich? After watching a dozen war docus, we still don't understand how any of these Hitler henchmen could trust each other for a minute. They're all been pumped up as intensely horrible monsters, yet we often see pictures of them smiling pleasantly.
The Goebbels Experiment is very different in a very good way. It combines Goebbels' personal diaries and vintage news footage and films of the streets of German cities. Nothing else is allowed in the door. The movie assumes that we know the basic facts and doesn't try to explain what a Nazi is, or how the politics worked except through Goebbels' personal observations. It doesn't catalogue events as it isn't trying to explain them. Goebbels didn't directly plan invasions and he didn't start them. He will drop a hint about a conflict to come, and soon thereafter will refer to an invasion in progress as an established fact. The point-of-view is wholly subjective. If Goebbels didn't write it down, it's not here. The only other input is a series of small, pointed subtitles that tell us what we're looking at, or other essential information. There is little room for a documentarian to impose a personal thesis. Assuming nobody has cheated, this is Josef Goebbels all the way, condemning himself from his own pen.
Goebbels wrote like a "Dear Diary" fanatic from an early adulthood to his death in the Berlin bunker. Like many in Hitler's inner circle he was a man of incredible nerve -- he's constantly criticizing Hitler in the early years and yet never saw the need to destroy his diaries even when other old cronies were being accused of disloyalty. This teaches us that Goebbels knew that if he were ever set up to take a political fall, real evidence wouldn't be needed, and probably not even sought out.
Young Josef talks about foot problems that later pay off in shots of him hobbling as he walks. He dreams of girls, envisions himself a great artist or man of letters and becomes a fanatic cult follower of Hitler within the growing Nazi party. He's furious when the party sidelines him to run the propaganda ministry instead of giving him a political office, and even talks about quitting. But his entries soon change. He marries a beauty queen and rhapsodizes over his good fortune. He decides to personally supervise the direction of literary, artistic and cinematic pursuits in the new Reich. And he fancies himself the only one qualified to run Germany's propaganda machinery, because only he understands it.
Goebbels has opinions about everything from foreign diplomats to artsy Italian movies. He puts down Russian propaganda (too obvious) and the "decadent" 1941 Italian fantasy La corona di ferro. Yet he openly admits that his efforts at personal film management haven't created any new stars. He touts his super-production Kolberg, a color costume epic made while Berlin fell, as a superior propaganda picture. We're shown a Czech actress with whom Goebbels had an affair and groomed into a top German star, and then elaborate 35mm home movies of his wife and children. When the hausfrau found out about the Czech beauty, there was hell to pay.
As for Leni Riefenstahl, Goebbels has nothing but contempt for her. He calls her vain, disorganized and wasteful. By now we're getting used to the self-serving nature of everything Goebbels writes and can guess that he probably disapproves of Riefenstahl because he cannot control her. He talks about working far into the night on details instead of delegating his work, as if jealously guarding his turf-workplace. This kind of micromanagement discourages non-sanctioned talent from getting a chance.
Goebbels' diary entries about blacks and Jews are rabid exercises in purposeful hatred. Vicious words on Jews abound, as when he writes that Hitler will give the party permission to 'cleanse' Berlin of Jews as soon as there is victory in Russia. He's certain that the city air will be more aromatic when they are gone. He also stays up all night in giddy rapture when German Max Schmeling defeats Black American Joe Louis in the boxing ring. He makes no mention of the 1936 track defeat to the black American runner Jesse Owens, right in the Berlin Olympic stadium. Diary entries are very discriminating, especially for Nazis in denial of basic human truths.
When the war starts Goebbels is all excuses, second guesses and accusations. All propaganda snafus, as when the army becomes angered by lies of glorious victories in Russia, are blamed on others. He does express shock when Hess runs away to England. Goebbels only alludes to the political infighting by making occasional remarks that such-and-such impudent office holder will have to be gotten rid of. We wonder if these targets of his scorn were removed from office, or worse.
Toward the end the diary entries become sparse and detached. He expresses shock when he returns to Berlin and sees how much of it has been destroyed by Allied bombing. He earlier wrote entries calling Winston Churchill a pig and an idiot, but now professes to have gained a respect for him. One of the last entries is a piece about the beauty of the countryside just outside of the blasted Berlin. He envies the people there, and imagines that the war has not touched them.
The docu then jumps to shocking Russian footage of the bodies of Goebbels, his wife and all of their children. The kids are perfectly dressed little blondes with frozen grimaces on their faces. The wife and the husband are charred black. The filmmakers wisely offers no specifics on how their lives ended ... there is no Goebbels entry for this, as he is dead. It's a refreshingly horrifying ending, and an effective one. The filmmakers don't insist on having "the last word."
The familiar voice of Kenneth Branagh reads the diary entries with a studied lack of dramatization, so as not to contaminate the words with a personal interpretation. But the real treasure of The Goebbels Experiment is the stunning array of vintage film footage, most of it completely unfamiliar and the majority of it very high in quality. While the diary talks about a certain German city on a certain date, we see the streets in convincing film from the period, much of which is a revelation. Obviously directors Lutz Hachmeister and Michael Kloft worked for special access to archival resources, as we see almost none of the usual film footage. The movie occasionally pops to color, or carries an original soundtrack, as when Goebbels is interviewed briefly in front of the Reichstag in 1930 or so. This is one docu where the pictures keep rewarding us beyond simply illustrating the text. Much of it is creepy stuff, as when the group of Russian officers are shuffled into place beside the bodies of the Goebbels family, lined up like a ruined toy set. The victors have been on the receiving end of horrendous atrocities for five years, and yet nobody is gloating.
The only negative criticism Savant has read of The Goebbels Experiment asks why the movie doesn't condemn Goebbels more or give more time to details of the Holocaust, etc. The movie touches on those subjects only when Goebbels does. It's not trying to be comprehensive; indeed, if one tried to use this docu to outline German history from 1920 to 1945, it skips all the usual speaking points entirely -- the depression, the militarizing of the country and the prosecution of the war. Just as in films about present-day political concerns, some judge the merit of a movie depending on whether or not one's own point of view prevails.
First Run Features' presentation of The Goebbels Experiment is top-notch work. The enhanced image is given a fine encoding and the soundtrack is bright and clear. The film clips from Kolberg and La corona di ferro look fine as well. It's a superior job all around. The only extras are some text notes on the filmmaker and biographical details on Josef Goebbels.
This movie is highly recommended. It encourages us to carefully question and examine powerful men doing dark deeds in the name of Virtue and Patriotism.

More Homes, Better Homes is part of our commitment to campaign on your behalf, writes Christine Murray
Last week, Andy von Bradsky, chairman of PRP, was appointed to the four-strong government task force charged with simplifying and scrapping the Building Regulations. This week, Bradsky said that he will review and consider the AJ's More Homes, Better Homes campaign before reporting to government next spring.
It was a first note of success for our campaign, which aims to encourage house building while defending design quality. Since its launch last week, we've been collecting perspectives on the barriers to house building and opinions on the regulations cull from developers, architects and policy figures.
It is too soon for conclusions, but early results suggest that while there may be some slack in the regs, they are not a barrier to development. As Baerbel Schuett, development director at Londonewcastle, said: 'The Building Regulations have a very small impact on whether or not a project gets realised and built.' And in the words of Satyen Joshi of Chest Properties, 'The threat of more banal "shoeboxes" spreading across the UK has more to do with the standards set by volume housebuilders' than the Building Regs. To share your view, please visit TheAJ.co.uk/Morehomes
As part of the campaign, this week's building studies focus on two inner-city housing projects; the first residential block in Argent's King's Cross development by PRP, and Urban Splash's latest addition to New Islington in Manchester by Mae. We've featured the schemes on two special-edition covers with two headlines: More Homes and Better Homes.
More Homes, Better Homes, as well as other AJ campaigns such as Women in Architecture, serve multiple purposes: to inform the profession, and to lobby for change on its behalf. Similarly, rolling coverage of the RIBA - recently, its revision of the Plan of Work - and the ARB - its fee hike - hold these organisations to account and inform our subscribers of decisions that will affect them financially and professionally.
Do the AJ's campaigns make a difference? Since the launch of Women in Architecture, I've been approached by several senior partners at architecture firms who said they were unaware of gender pay inequality in the profession and have examined their practice's salaries in response. Women in Architecture has been shortlisted for the British Society of Magazine Editor's Campaign of the Year. In fact, in the last 24 months, the AJ team and its work have been shortlisted for a total of 14 awards.
We launched More Homes, Better Homes as part of our renewed commitment to you, our subscribers. Our ambition is to represent your views to government, the RIBA, the ARB, architecture schools, planning authorities, and the industry at large; to serve the profession and give it a voice, without being beholden or pandering to it. The reach of our digital audience makes it easier than ever to lobby on behalf of architects, with millions of visits to our websites every year. But it's your continued support that makes it possible.

A Solution To The Cross Platform Classroom Problem – Guest Post from Jennifer Carey
This post first appeared on Edudemic.The modern classroom is a messy one! Schools are entering the world of technology at different speeds and levels; some institutions have invested in full 1:1 programs where the school selects a single device (such as iPads or Chromebooks); others have instituted Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) initiatives, some specify a single device while others permit a broader selection; and most of us operate in some type of hybrid environment where students have access to a device at school, such as a tool issued to them, a computer lab, and/or laptop cart and/or a device they have access to at home or even bring with them. As technology becomes more ubiquitous both at home and in the classroom, we find ourselves in a more blended world. As educators in the 21st century, we must be prepared to tackle education in an environment that is cross-platform and multi-device. Working in an unpredictable environment is especially challenging. As educators, we want to provide the most effective and innovative learning environment possible for our students. At the same time, it can be challenging to initiate a sophisticated, 21st century project with an eye to address the individual technology set-up of hundreds of students. Over the years of working in blended environments, I have found some solutions that allow me to assign sophisticated, robust projects without making me - or my students - go crazy in the process!
Focus on the End Product Not the ToolWhen I work with faculty, they are often concerned that they must teach students how to use programs or apps. I address this very concern in my article, "How to Infuse Digital Literacy Throughout your Curriculum" emphasize that it's not the tool, but rather the product. Just as we don't require students to use Microsoft Word or Text Editor when we assign them an essay, it's not necessary to designate and then teach them new software for a digital project. For example, if you want your students to create a video, and you work in a blended environment, allow for some software flexibility. You do not need to require that they use iMovie or Movie Maker and then teach it to them. Rather, allow them to use whatever tools works best for them. There are a myriad of Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS compatible programs available. They are intuitive and thus easy to learn and use. Providing this flexibility not only permits students to work with software that will run on their device, but it allows them to operate within their own comfort zone. Twice a year, I ask my students to create a history documentary. At Ransom Everglades, we are not BYOD or 1:1. Therefore, my students have various access to computing tools. You will note that I do not assign a particular type of computer or software. What they use to create is up to them. However, I make very clear my expectations with concise instructions and a rubric. The instructions I give them focus on research, content, and construction, similar to what I would hand out if I were assigning a research essay or class presentation.
When you Need to Use a Specific Tool, make it cross-platform compatibleSometimes using just one tool is easier and more cost-effective. When you select software for a project, choose one that is cross-platform compatible. In our hybrid world, many tools now work on Windows and Mac, as well as many mobile computing platforms such as Android or iOS. Cloud tools, especially those that operate via a web browser, are especially useful. For example, my favorite cross-platform word processing suite is Google Drive. I don't have to worry about a student sending me a document that I can't open, and they always have the ability to work on their projects regardless of the machine they are using. Additionally, by using Google Drive they can collaborate with their peers, even completing a paperless research essay. If you know you need to use a single tool, do your research - pick one that will work for most if not all devices!
Teach Your Students to be Problem Solvers!Don't think that you must suddenly become an expert on every single device and piece of software. That is impossible even for the most skilled IT professional. Instead, encourage your students to become their own help desk - searching out their solutions and assisting one another. This teaches them one of the most important skills that they can learn: creative problem solving. At the beginning of the year, students quickly learn that when they visit my office hours or email me a question, I will ask them:
- Have you Googled the problem?
- Have you looked on YouTube?
- Did you ask your friends?
- Have you searched the help section of the software?

Wisconsin Assembly Approves Limiting Recall Reasons
MADISON, Wis. — In the face of an expected recall election targeting Gov. Scott Walker and four Republican state senators, the Wisconsin state Assembly voted Tuesday to amend the state constitution to make it more difficult to toss an official from office.
MADISON, Wis. — In the face of an expected recall election targeting Gov. Scott Walker and four Republican state senators, the Wisconsin state Assembly voted Tuesday to amend the state constitution to make it more difficult to toss an official from office.
The measure, which still faces major hurdles before taking effect, would allow officeholders to be recalled only if they have been charged with a serious crime or if there is a finding of probable cause that they violated the state code of ethics.
Under current law, no grounds are needed to seek a recall.
Republican supporters, including the amendment's sponsor Rep. Robin Vos, R-Caledonia, argued changes are needed to limit recalls given the flurry of such efforts over the past year. Republicans have said Walker and the others are being unfairly targeted simply for doing their job.
The recalls are largely motivated over anger related to Walker's proposal that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers. It was passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature last year.
Last summer, six Republican and three Democratic state senators stood for recall. Two Republicans were tossed from office, leaving the GOP with a slim 17-16 majority in the Senate.
This year, four more Republican state senators, Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch could face recall elections as soon as May. Election regulators are in the process of verifying recall petition signatures and calling the elections.
It's not surprising that the proposal has come up in Wisconsin given those circumstances, said Joshua Spivak, a recall expert and senior fellow at Wagner College in New York.
"Any time there's a controversial recall, there's discussion of changing the recall," he said. However, changes are almost never made because "voters kind of like the recall," Spivak said.
There was talk of limiting recalls in California after Gov. Gray Davis was recalled in 2003, but Spivak said no significant changes were made. In Michigan, a constitutional amendment similar to the Wisconsin one was introduced last year just weeks after a Republican state representative was recalled from office. That proposal has not gone anywhere.
In the Wisconsin Assembly, the measure passed Tuesday 60-37, with all Republicans in support and all Democrats against except Rep. Peggy Krusick of Milwaukee.
It is a long way from becoming law. The proposal would also have to pass the Senate next week before the session ends and then pass both houses of the Legislature either next year or the year after. And then, it would still have to win approval in a statewide vote before being added to the constitution.
Assembly Democrats railed against the proposal, saying the right to recall officeholders was a fundamental pillar of the Progressive movement at the turn of the 20th century that has been rarely used until the past year. State Rep. Brett Hulsey, D-Madison, called the proposal the "politician protection act."
Vos, the amendment's sponsor, argued that the recall process was broken and the people should be given the chance to vote on making his proposed changes.
Wisconsin is one of 18 states that allows for recalls of state elected officials. Of those, only seven limit the reasons for recall to malfeasance in office. Those are Georgia, Montana, Rhode Island, Washington, Minnesota, Kansas and Alaska. A 19th state, Illinois, allows only for the recall of a governor.
Nationwide, there have only been 32 attempts to recall state lawmakers from office and 17 have succeeded. Only one of those targeted, a state senator from Washington in 1981, came from a state with the higher malfeasance standard.
That shows that the malfeasance standard makes it much more difficult to target someone for recall, Spivak said.
"If it is adopted, it really kills recalls," he said.

"I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility,
and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do,
without the help and support of the woman I love."
–King Edward VIII, from his famous abdication speech of 1936.
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor (AKA Wallis Simpson)– arguably one of the most controversial, talked about couples of the 20th century. Their affair started while she was still married to her 2nd husband Ernest Simpson– a wealthy Englishman, through whom she gained access to British high society. The two were introduced at a London social event, and soon she was a frequent guest at Prince Edward's country getaway, Fort Belvedere.
In January of 1936, Edward was crowned the British Monarch upon the death of King George V. He, however, had no interest in being king. Edward's focus was solely on marrying Wallis Simpson– the rags-to-riches American commoner who had somehow seduced the now King of England. Many wondered aloud, what could he possibly see in her? Give up the throne for– what? Apparently it wasn't the sex. She's credited with icily stating, "No man is allowed to touch me below the Mason-Dixon line." There were also ugly and persistent rumors challenging her own physical endowments as a lady. Shady, unsubstantiated stories surfaced that Wallis Simpson was born a man, and suffered from Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome– a hormonal irregularity that causes a genetic male's body to develop as a woman, but without fully developed, err, privates. Just the the kind of story any gal would love to be the subject of.
And then there were the stories of her affairs, Nazi sympathizing, and shopping.
Madonna shooted a film for their love...
Many influential members the English upper class suspected that while Wallis Simpson was carrying on an affair with Prince Edward, that she she also cavorting with other men– the most damning being a Nazi Officer close to Hitler, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Reich Minister Ambassador-Plenipotentiary at Large. It was reported that the Nazi's were using Simpson for her connection to The King, and she was happy to provide them with all the British insider information they wanted, as long as she was paid. The FBI investigated the matter, and reported to President Roosevelt with their findings. He was quoted as saying that Wallis Simpson "played around…with the Ribbentrop set." After marrying Edward in 1937, the two met The Fuhrer, Adolph Hitler– whispered sweet pro-German sentiments, and were becoming full-blown Nazi sympathizers. It's now well known that if all had gone as planned, the Nazis would defeat Great Britain– and Hitler had every intention of then restoring Edward to the throne. All that was enough to make the British take immediate action.
The couple was quickly rounded-up, and shipped off where they could do no harm. He became the Governor of the Bahamas, and together they were appointed the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The Duchess hated it there, and spent a good amount of time power shopping in New York– much to the shock of the British who were tightening their belts under imposed wartime rationing. Getting the picture that there was no love lost between her and the British?

|Wallis Simpson photographed by Cecil Beaton. "Beaton later attempted to soften her brittle image in a series of photographs taken at the Chateau de Candé during the eve of the subdued and even makeshift arrangements for her wedding to the Duke of Windsor, who had romantically given up his throne for her. Beaton was not entirely successful. Dressed in Schiaparelli's organza evening dress printed with a giant lobster, and brandishing a sheaf of pussy willow, or stroking a whippet that was clearly not her own, Wallis makes an unlikely romantic heroine. "Since I can't be pretty," she told Vogue in 1943, "I try to look sophisticated," and no detail of that sophisticated style escaped the magazine's scrutiny as Vogue celebrated her fashion and style choices into the 1960s." — Hamish Bowles via

Meeting Maggie Stiefvater
But, in the days leading up to conference mania, one of my favorite authors visited California and I joined the hundreds of people queuing up to see her at Borders in Glendale.
And let me tell you, when your book opens at #1 on the NY Times Bestseller list (and stays there for two weeks!) you can expect big crowds at your book signing. Men, women, children, teens -- the entire spectrum of humanity was represented here. They had at least 75 chairs set up for people to sit in and there were people crowded into all available floor space in and around the area where she spoke and signed books. It was crazy!
The book store arranged a fan art contest that included drawings, cupcakes, potential movie posters and a song inspired by the book. This was an epic signing event unlike any I've ever attended before! And see the cranes strung above the seating area? If you've read Shiver and/or Linger you know what that's about. I really wanted to take one home!
I was one of the lucky ones near the front of the line. I honestly think she had to be there for hours signing books because that line was HUGE! And some of those people had stacks of books for her to sign (why didn't I think of that?!).
Before she did the signing and judged the art contest, Maggie talked about writing, wolves and bugging her father for medical details. Here's a short clip on why she isn't a big fan of werewolves.
If you'd like to see the full 15-minute video, I uploaded it (in two parts) on my YouTube channel. Note: The video would have been longer if my battery hadn't died. Story of my life!
Happy Friday the 13th and have a great weekend!!

By Kimberly Hefling
AP Education Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration told colleges and universities last Friday they can continue to use admissions to increase diversity among their students, even in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that could potentially open the door to more challenges.
"Racially diverse educational environments help to prepare students to succeed in our increasingly diverse nation," the administration said in a letter to schools.
The Supreme Court ruled June 24 that schools should approve the use of race as a factor in admissions only after concluding "that no workable race-neutral alternatives would produce the educational benefits of diversity." The 7-1 decision, stemming from a case challenging the University of Texas admission plan, did not question the underpinnings of affirmative action.
Civil rights advocates celebrated that the door on affirmative action had not been slammed shut. But at the same time, the decision appeared to embolden challengers who feel they've been discriminated against.
In its letter last Friday the administration said the court "preserved the well-established legal principle" that colleges and universities have a compelling interest in a diverse student body. It was signed by Catherine E. Lhamon, the Education Department's assistant secretary in the Office for Civil Rights, and Jocelyn Samuels, the Justice Department's acting assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division.
Lhamon said the administration hopes colleges and universities aren't making changes in admissions policies because of the ruling.
In an accompanying "questions and answers" paper, the administration said race can be considered as long as the admission programs can show that the criteria are narrowly tailored.
"I would hope that colleges and universities would undertake these programs in carefully structured ways that would avoid legal challenge, and we certainly are available to try to help them do that," Samuels said.
The high court ordered the appeals court to take another look at the case of Abigail Fisher, a white Texan who was not offered a spot at the university's flagship Austin campus in 2008. Fisher has since received her undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said last Friday that a diverse enrollment, "promotes cross-racial understanding and dialogue, reduces racial isolation and helps to break down stereotypes."

"All right, nobody calls me Terrence! I am T-Bo! TEE-BO. I sling smoothies! I put food on sticks! And I like a lot of women!"
Terrence Jeter "T-Bo" Bo is an odd Jamaican man that works at the Groovy Smoothie. He typically wears a bandana and is known for selling various types of food on a stick, like pickles, bagels, or tacos. Although he usually annoys people, he seems to be good friends with the iCarly trio.
He once had a friend named Eddie Robinson who died after being hit by a bus. T-Bo also has a sister who is out of the hospital; his sister was in the hospital for working for Spencer.
He is fascinated by extraterrestrial life, as shown on Carly's blog, and apparently wants to be abducted by aliens one day. When crop circles that looked like him were found in England, T-Bo made some special smoothies using "English ingredients" to celebrate it.
He enjoys asking people at the most inconvenient times if they would like a snack like a bagel or pickle, and normally doesn't stop bothering them until they finally give in to him.
In iSpeed Date, T-Bo is working the night shift and turns up the music after Freddie asks him to.
In an interview on iCarly.com, Sam says he is one of the managers at the Groovy Smoothie. We find out that before he started selling things on a stick, he sold things in buckets. He proved that food sold better on a stick because he tested it by first trying to sell bananas in a bucket and only sold a few. He put the rest of the bananas on a stick and sold the rest. It is shown that T-Bo can put almost any food on a stick. In iGot A Hot Room, he put hard shell tacos on a stick, which Carly could not do without breaking them.
In iGot A Hot Room, he hires Carly to keep her busy while Spencer, Sam, Freddie, and Gibby re-do her room.
It is revealed in an iCarly interview that T-Bo also has a collection of pens, some of them from significant moments in his life.
T-Bo's Running Gag
T-Bo was introduced in a running gag where he was begging people (especially the iCarly gang) to buy things that are not smoothies, usually on a stick (bell peppers, bagels, doughnuts, turkey breasts, muffins, pot pie, yams, tacos, etc.). He isn't the best thinker though; he once put the stick through the doughnuts instead of using the holes.
He even manages to put nearly impossible foods on a stick, i.e. when Carly tried to put a set of tacos on a stick and one broke apart, though somehow T-Bo was able to put it on successfully without a crack. In an interview with Sam, he says it's because food looks better on a stick, allowing bigger sales.
Life Before the Groovy Smoothie
On iCarly.com, Boofus interviews T-Bo and asks him questions about his life before his employment in the Groovy Smoothie. He says that he worked at the smoothie shop for a year and says it is a cool job. He also claims that he went to Boston University. Gibby interviewed him and found out that T-Bo used to be a hand model.
- He seems to be good friends with the iCarly's as he was a guest at Carly's birthday party, and, in the episode iGot a Hot Room, gave Carly a job to return the favor Spencer did for his sister who ended up in the hospital due to Spencer's actions.
- He is a skilled beatboxer, as shown in a clip on iCarly.com.
- In this video on iCarly.com, T-Bo shows his terrifying birthmark to Sam, Freddie, and Spencer.
- As of the episode iQ, he resides in "Bushwell Plaza" in Freddie and Mrs. Benson's apartment (after an eviction from "The Groovy Smoothie"), making him Carly and Spencer's neighbor as well.
- T-Bo's name is similar to free agent quarterback Tim Tebow.
- In iRescue Carly, T-Bo reveals that he went to college.
- He appears as a Genie in the episode iApril Fools granting wishes for the gang as they reminisce on the past.
- T-Bo once beared a reference to Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Andrew McCutchen . Viewers have also pointed out that he bears a strong resemblance to rapper 2 Chainz.
- A girl named Porscha Sweet has a restraining order against him which says he cannot be within 100 yards of her.
- T-Bo's first appearance in the series was in iWant My Website Back.
- "You want a bagel?!"
- "Wanna buy a bagel?"
- "We sell bagels now."
- "The bagels won't be ready for an hour."
- "Would the gentleman care for a pickle?"
- "Why? You afraid of pickles? Scared to take a walk on the pickle side of town?"
- "Well, pardon me for thinking that all foods and beverages could get along!"
- "Just buy a bell pepper!"
- "You wanna buy a doughnut?"
- "Man, this is embarassing." [after realizing that the doughnuts were put on the wrong way on the stick.]
- "You wanna buy a doughnut? (to the iCarly gang) I fixed 'em."
- "Have I ever cared where you sit?!"
- "I happen to be a doctor of smoothie-ology!"
- "What did the goat do?"
- "Nah, I'm just pullin' ya peach!"
- "What, is the Queen coming?"
- "No, I said to read the juice reports!"
- "Come on, Carly. So your room burned down - look at the bright side..."
- "Puncture...sliiide. Puncture...sliiide. Puncture...sliiide..."
- "Unslide!"
- "Look how it shines in the light!!" (iCarly.com video)
- "Aw, man! That dude took over 300 bucks ...jerk!"
- "I had to buy all new cables!"
- "I'm the victim!"
- "Freddie Benson!"
- "Hey! I'm your boss now; you've got to call me Mr. Bo."
- "And this one I found on the ground at a circus. It smells like elephant urine."
T-Bo: "You wanna buy a pot pie?"
Freddie: "No, thanks."
Carly: "No."
Sam: "Shut up, T-Bo."
- "I'm in a kiddie pool!"
- "All right, nobody calls me Terence! I am T-Bo! TEE-BO. I'm not fancy. (in his fake deep voice): I don't talk like this. I slang smoothies! I put food on sticks! And I like a lot of women!"

Violent entertainment destroying America's kids
My friend Michael and his wife went to see the movie "Jack Reacher," and at the beginning of the film, a sniper opens fires and kills five innocent people.
As the carnage unfolded on the screen, Michael heard sobbing erupt throughout the theater, and he immediately realized what was happening. The murders on the screen reminded people of the massacre in Newtown.
Some things should never be forgotten. That tragedy will have a lasting influence on us, far beyond the issue of gun control, but whether it will have any effect on the entertainment industry is questionable.
As the nation debates what must be done to control the bloodshed, the entertainment industry has hunkered down, starting with the chairman of the Motion Picture Association, former Sen. Christopher Dodd, who seems more intent on invoking First Amendment rights than considering a critical self-examination in light of Newtown. Sadly, the parties that have the greatest stake in preventing bloodshed are hiding behind the First and the Second Amendments.
When a reporter questioned director Quentin Tarantino about violence in film, he had a hissy fit and shut down the interview.
Tarantino has stylized film violence and made it so commonplace you could become spiritually numb watching bloody extravaganzas like "Natural Born Killers," "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill," and the critically acclaimed, "Django Unchained," which according to one columnist, is "a film that makes mass murder look cool."
Tarantino is known for bloodshed and casual killing. It's art, the critics say, describing it as the "aestheticization of violence," which probably should be redefined as the "anesthetization of violence." To us ordinary dimwits, that means there's a hell of a lot of torturous killing but it's supposedly artistic, which makes it excusable.
When the reporter persisted in questioning Tarantino about film violence in the wake of the Newtown killings, he shouted, "It's a movie! It's a fantasy! It's not real life!"
But violence in film, TV and video games is more than a fantasy form of diversion. It affects the way we think and what we do, and over a period of time, it makes violent responses seem perfectly acceptable.
Four decades of research — more than 2,500 books, studies and papers — conclude that violence in entertainment has a pernicious effect on people. Whenever the industry tries to discredit the studies, it sounds much like tobacco companies insisting cigarettes don't cause cancer.
Young people exposed to violence are eventually more likely to be convicted of a crime, become aggressive, abuse their spouses, and display an indifferent or amoral attitude toward others. Quite simply, violent entertainment, whether it's on the television, the computer or the movie screen, is destroying America's children.
Even though our political leaders think they can legislate a solution, the culture of violence will never end if we continue to deceive ourselves that what people experience over and over again in violent entertainment doesn't affect their behavior.
Never lose sight of this one fact: By the time the average American child reaches 18, he has seen 16,000 murders and more than 200,000 violent acts on television. It's our children's constitutionally guaranteed right. And they can't escape it.

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Ryan Griffin threw for 179 yards and a touchdown as the New Orleans Saints opened the preseason with a 26-24 win over the St. Louis Rams. Griffin, a second-year product out of Tulane, came on for quarterback Luke McCown and completed 16-of-23 passes. He found first round pick Brandin Cooks for a 25-yard touchdown connection late in the third quarter that proved to be the difference. Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson each ran for touchdowns, with Ingram racking up 83 yards on eight carries. Cooks caught five balls for 55 yards in addition to the score for the Saints, who finished with an 11-5 record in 2013 and won their postseason opener against the Eagles. Veteran signal caller Shaun Hill threw a pair of touchdown passes for the Rams, while Austin Davis picked up 134 yards and a score on 10-for-16 passing. Both starting quarterbacks, New Orleans' Drew Brees and Sam Bradford of the Rams, were given the night off. Cory Harkey caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from Hill on St. Louis' first possession. Shayne Graham kicked a field goal late in the period and Robinson took it in from a yard out early in the second to give the Saints a 9-7 lead. Hill's second touchdown strike of the game went to Stedmon Bailey from 24 yards out midway through the second. Ingram ran it in for a 22-yard score on the ensuing New Orleans touch, and Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein split the uprights on a 45-yard kick as the clock expired to send the Rams into halftime with a 17-16 lead. Derek Dimke drilled a 37-yarder to put the Saints back in front early in the third, and Cooks' touchdown reception with 3:43 to play in the quarter made it 26-17. Davis' 15-yard touchdown pass to Austin Franklin capped the scoring. The Rams got into field goal possession on the final touch thanks in large part to a 42-yard reception by Alex Bayer. A penalty with just seconds to play set up a 59-yard kick for Zuerlein, but the young kicker put it wide left as the game ended.

The latest in our string of mobile updates, our release for Android features a handful of useful new settings! Included in the update is an option to logoff your account when the LastPass app has been running in the background after a time limit of your choice, as well as the ability to check your login status when launching the app.
Both features will help you better secure your LastPass account, providing you the ability to control how long your session stays active and ensure your data is secure if your phone is ever lost or stolen. We've also added an oft-requested feature: generating pronounceable passwords!
Logoff when LastPass is in the background for X minutes
You now have the ability to kill your LastPass session when the app has been running in the background for a time period of your choice. Essentially the mobile version of "logoff after idle", you can set a time limit in your Preferences menu of the LastPass app.
With the time limit enabled, your LastPass session will be terminated when you multitask away from the LastPass app and it remains in the background for that period of time. When you tap back to the LastPass app, you'll be required to login again.
Check login status when launching the app
Within your LastPass account, we offer the ability for you to view and remotely kill active LastPass sessions. Accessible via your LastPass Icon by going to your Tools menu, the "Other Sessions" page allows you to see any browsers or devices where you're still logged in to your LastPass account. You are then able to select some or all of your active session and "kill" them, forcing your session to expire. This feature ensures that if you leave LastPass logged in somewhere by accident, you can later force that session to end.
On the Android, enabling "Check Login on Activate" in your Preferences menu ensures that, when the LastPass app is launched, a check is performed to see if the session was cancelled remotely using the "kill active sessions" feature. If we identify that the request has been made, LastPass will logoff and require the email address and master password to be entered again.
Generate pronounceable passwords
Included within the advanced settings of our password generator, you can now generate pronounceable passwords.
Pronounceable passwords are randomly generated but easier for typing on a mobile keyboard or sharing.
And more!
As expected there are also a host of improvements in the overall functionality and performance of the app. Also included in our release notes are:
- Browser fixes for sites that use local storage like twitter.com, gmail.com, and others
- The ability to enforce mobile Enterprise policies, such as: requiring pin code prompt, disallowing master password saving on the mobile app, implementing logoff when the app is in the background for X minutes, and enabling event logging
- Faster shared folder decryption
- A number of general bug fixes and improvements
As a reminder, the Android app is part of our Premium offering, but can be trialed for 14 days before upgrading for $12 per year.
We've got some exciting updates on the horizon, so keep an eye out for more posts.
The LastPass Team

The final days of 2012 are a good opportunity to take a look back and sum up a few favourite recipes and other highlights of the year. It has certainly been a whirlwind year with many happy events, but also one particularly sad memory, with a passing of my dear grandmother at the end of the year.
I started the year off with a 21-day vegan challenge that somehow prolonged itself to 9 months. I really enjoyed the challenge of creating new recipes with no animal products and looking back I absolutely love the colours and vibrancy of the foods I created.
Our wedding in my home town back in June and the honeymoon in France was of course the highlight of the year. We had the loveliest time celebrating our special day with our closest friends and relatives, and France in its all summery glory was everything (and more!) we expected. I would love to go back one day, as there is so much more left to experience and see.
The end of the year saw me going back to my roots (literally, as well!) with more traditional Finnish recipes and more and more interior and craft inspired posts that I've enjoyed so much. I am looking forward to all the new ideas and challenges that the new year will bring.
I thank you all for following my blog in 2012 and I wish you all the best for the new year!

|The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng: Psalm 68:11-13New International Version (NIV)
The Pakistan Bible Society is the full member of the United Bible Societies who have work in 146 countries. The beginning of the organized Bible work in the areas now comprising Pakistan can be traced as far back as 1809 one year after the formation of the Bible Society of India, Burma and Ceylon. There are some records of 1925 which mention Bible work in these areas.
1862 the second General Council of Indian Missionaries met at Lahore. The participants of this conference actually felt this need of establishing an office for the promotion of the Bible work with the prime purpose of serving the constituency of the Punjab.
Finally in January 1863 the efforts of the General Council of Indian Missionaries bore fruit and British & Foreign Bible Society inaugurated at the Punjab Auxiliary with its office at the present site of Arnarkali, Lahore. At that time the population of Punjab was estimated to be 15 million of which 0.53% were literate. Some of the pioneers of the Punjab Auxiliary, which later on became the Pakistan Bible Society, were Sir Robert Montgomery, D. F. McLeod, Lt. Col. R. McLagen and Mr. R. N. Kistin, at the commencement of the Bible work in 1863. The patron was the Honorable Sir, R. Montgomery and the first General Secretary and Treasurer was A. Thomason Esq.
The formation of the Bible Society occurred in 1944. East Pakistan (Bangladesh) too was looked after from Lahore. In 1956 The Pakistan Bible Society was registered under the registration of Societies Act 1860. On November 1, 1967 the Pakistan Bible Society became an autonomous body and full member of the United Bible Societies.
Since 1997 there has been a lot of creativity in the programmes of the Bible Society. The WEB (Women's Endeavour for the Bible is doing a wonderful job for the promotion of the Bible work. The youth volunteer wing POWER (Promotion of Word Evangelism and Recourses) too is contributing in a meaningful. The Sports festival has grown and has been regularly organized since 2000. It is now being held in Islamabad, Multan and Sheikupura besides Lahore. Today the work of the Bible Society is better known and our support base has increased considerably for which we thank God.
