FOIA Legislative History

1966 Passage - The FOIA was enacted in 1966 despite the opposition of President Johnson to the legislation.  Prior to enactment, there were several years of congressional hearings about the need for a disclosure law.   The FOIA went into effect in 1967.  To learn more about the enactment of the FOIA, Click here.

1974 Amendment - In the wake of the Watergate scandal and several court decisions, Congress sought to amend the FOIA.  After negotiations between Congress and the Ford Administration broke down, Congress passed significant amendments to the FOIA.  President Ford vetoed the amendments and Congress swiftly voted to override the veto.  To learn more about the 1974 Amendments to the FOIA, click here.

1976 Amendment - In 1976, as part of the Government in Sunshine Act, Exemption 3 of the FOIA was amended.

1986 Amendment - In 1986 Congress amended FOIA to address the fees charged by different categories of requesters and the scope of access to law enforcement and national security records.  The FOIA amendments were a small part of the bipartisan Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986.  The amendments are not referenced in the congressional reports on the Act, so the floor statements provide an indication of Congressional intent.

1996 Amendment - The FOIA was significantly amended in 1996 with the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996.  There were separate Senate and House bills that were reconciled by their sponsors.  The public law includes a "Findings and Purposes" section that was not codified into the FOIA's text.

2002 Amendment - In 2002, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the FOIA was amended to limit the ability of foreign agents to request records from U.S. intelligence agencies.

2007 Amendment - The FOIA was amended in 2007 with the OPEN Government Act of 2007, was passed unanimously by both the House and the Senate in December. The new law aimed to fix some of the most persistent problems in the FOIA system, including excessive delay, lack of responsiveness, and litigation gamesmanship by federal agencies.

A wide range of colors and an alluring floral fragrance make freesia hard to resist. With up to eight trumpet-shaped, upward-pointing blossoms on leafless stems, freesias make delightful cut flowers that last a long time in the vase.

Freesia flowers are “zygomorphic” which just means that they grow along one side of the stem, in a single plane. When you look at a flower stalk however, you'll see that the blooms are facing upwards.

Freesia colors include: blue, orange, red, violet, white and yellow. There are a few bi-colored striped flowers, too. The pretty, fragrant flowers grow on stalks surrounded by spiky, sword-like, green foliage.

They look their best when grown together in clumps or masses.

These beautiful, deliciously fragrant freesia flowers add color and fragrance to your tropical garden with such ease you'll be gald you decided to grow them.

Freesia is a genus that consists of about 14 species.

All of the 14 species of Freesia are African in origin from the family Iridaceae which are native to Africa, but are now seen growing all over in Tropical and Sub-Tropical climates.

Planting & Care

Freesia plants are easy to grow. In the fall, acquire good, healthy bulbs from a quality, reliable source. You can also plant them in early spring. Plant Freesia bulbs about two inches deep, and three inches apart. Do not plant them closer, as they will fill in over a couple years.

Freesia plants like rich, well draining soil. It is most important that the soil is not wet or soggy for extended periods of time.

Water plants only if the soil is dry a few inches below the surface. Add a layer of mulch, to keep the weeds down, and your Freesia will grow almost maintenance free.

Add a general purpose fertilizer after the flowers have died.

After the plants are done flowering, allow them to continue to grow until they die back naturally for the season. Then, you can cut the dead plants off at ground level.

Freesia Plant Propagation:

Freesia plants are grown from bulbs. Over the course of a few years, they will multiply rapidly, forming dense clumps, or masses. The plants can get overcrowded . It is best to dig up the bulbs, and separate them every 2-3 years.

Freesia can also be grown from seeds. This is done primarily by horticulturalists. It takes longer to produce flowering plants.

Freesia are attractive in pots and containers. If you are growing Freesia in pots or containers, plant bulbs close together, so the arrangement looks full.

When Nurses Who Vaccinate Comes Under Attack

A picture is worth a thousand words. And apparently a meme is worth hundreds of new followers, members, comments, and shares. It can also draw attention from opposing viewpoints and lead them to attack, bully and threaten the creators of memes.

Over a meme you ask? Well it was actually a graphic, that has mistakenly been referred to as a meme (but that’s a whole other discussion).

The above graphic generated a popular response on the Nurses Who Vaccinate Facebook page. With over 200 shares, it was seen by over 25,000 people according to Facebook insights. Not too shabby for a picture made at 2am in Microsoft paint.

The graphic was calling attention to an organization that has been making the rounds on the internet spreading public health misinformation and vaccine myths. With the internet as vast and unregulated as it is, patients have a hard enough time deciphering accurate sources for health information. We as nurses, should not be adding to the confusion. Nurses should be presenting evidence-based information to our patients and the public.

The organization in mention, Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines, sadly does exist and is not a satire joke. They claim quite often that they are not ‘anti-vaccine’ and but are ‘anti-forced vaccines.’ But, a quick look at their facebook page and website quickly shows how misinformed and untrue those statements are. They post links from conspiracy sites, such as the infamous Natural News and Mercola, claim CDC studies are part of a conspiracy and continously post misinformation about side effects from vaccines. Recently a meta-analysis reviewed 166 independent studies and confirmed what we at Nurses Who Vaccinate have been saying since 2011, vaccines are safe and effective! But, was that important study shared on any of the NAMV social media platforms? Nope. Instead, what do you find on their facebook page?

Let’s quickly discuss the difference between mandatory, compulsory and forced vaccination. Currently the only policies in place in some health institutions concerning influenza vaccines are mandatory vaccine policies. What does mandatory mean? It means that unless you have a legitimate medical exemption you are required to meet standards of vaccination. In some institutions the alternative is that you have to wear a mask from the moment you enter the workplace till the moment you leave. Some health institutions have taken a stricter approach and if an employee refuses to vaccinate the institution will terminate them. Enforcing mandatory vaccine policies is not an infringement of the employees right because while workers have a right to non-discrimination in workplace, employers have a right to instill rules for workers to abide by. An important point is that employment in the U.S., with narrow exceptions, is at will. Employers do not have to hire or retain you. They can't discriminate based on gender, race, or other protected categories, but other than that, they can pretty much hire you or not, and fire you, for any reason. And they can certainly set work safety conditions. Requiring personal protection equipment to be worn and used, proper techniques to be used and staying up-to-date with vaccines are part of those safety conditions. Compulsory vaccination is when fines or imprisonment is implemented on those who refuse vaccines. Currently there are no mandates for compulsory vaccinations, and the most popular one that the public is familiar with is the Jacobson v. Massachusetts United States Supreme Court Case that is from 1905. With regards to forced vaccination, contrary to what Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines likes to post, no health institution, public health organization or member of Nurses Who Vaccinate advocate for forced vaccination of a healthcare worker. Forced vaccination would be a scenario where one holds down a worker and forcibly administering a vaccine, a situation that is unheard of and is only being used by NAMV to create fear in those who misunderstand the differences between mandatory and forced. There are no employers that have forced vaccinations on their workers. Mandate, yes. Forced, no.

Now that that is out of the way, back to the picture/graphic. Nurses Who Vaccinate stands by the message in the graphic. Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines is an anti-vaccine, anti-science organization that promotes vaccine misinformation. It is disdainful to see the nursing profession misrepresented by these individuals who reject the need for vaccines and deny the scientific evidence that vaccines are safe and effective. However, we here at Nurses Who Vaccinate are proponents of education and I personally know how convincing that misinformation can be. I was once misled by the anti-vaccine websites and came quite close to basing my medical decisions on it. We highly encourage the members of NAMV to use better sources for their stances, and take additional classes and courses to expand their limited knowledge on this topic.
Immunization Courses: Broadcasts, Webcasts, and Self Study
Current Issues in Immunization NetConference (CIINC)

Nurses Who Vaccinate is not interested in ‘attacking’ another nursing page. We have more important matters that take up our time and interests. For example, the fact that every 20 seconds a child is dying from a vaccine preventable disease. Or that here in the US, we have concerning pertussis and measles outbreaks popping up in communities with low immunization rates. In spite of these clear threats to our communities and our patients, NAMV chooses to focus on the imaginary threat of our little picture, and even to the point of suggesting legal action against us.

Perhaps a quick rundown of the definition of fair use would be handy... Section 107 of the Copyright Act states:
"..the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work; the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work." Source: 17 USC Section 107.

Looking for more information, here’s a convenient crash course! We are blatantly criticizing and commenting on the status of the NAMV organization. It’s quite obvious and many of our members and supporters recognize that. And we thank you. Especially when we have organizations looking to bully and intimidate us when we call them out on dangerous behavior. When NAMV does little to discourage their followers from harassing and posting inflammatory posts and comments about our members and pro-science healthcare workers, it's easy to see what type of organization they are. It seems that while they claim to be under attack, they're to ones leading the efforts.

In the meantime, we’ve jump started our IndieGoGo campaign to become an official not-for-profit organization. Where will the donated funds go? Well, we have big plans. We’re currently working with a non-profit clinic here in New York to apply for our 501(3)(c). We’re looking to create a FREE nursing educational database for our members and supporters to use when researching public health information. We have plans to create a mobile device app specifically for nurses to help educate patient about vaccines, schedules and vaccine-preventable diseases. And there are many other projects we’re looking into. Intrigued? Want to get more involved? Send us an email at and let us know what you would like to be involved with or if you have an idea for a project! And if push comes to shove and if NAMV follow on through with their bullying tactics, than funds will go towards protecting the Nurses Who Vaccinate organization and our members. Hopefully, it doesn’t come to that and we can use the supporting funds towards more important issues. Like saving lives.

Nurses Who Vaccinate are nurses who care about themselves, patients and communities.

  3. You are, of course, right about the doctrine of fair use in the context of copyright law as applied to commentary or parody. But NAMV appears to be complaining about "illegal [use]" of their "trademarked logo", which is a different matter. Don't get me wrong: as best I can tell their complaint is silly and groundless either way. But the statement about trademark is even sillier than one about copyright, since it's doubtful any court would find that there is a likelihood of confusion between your two groups based on your use of their logo.

  4. Well stated. A thorough takedown of the lies and disinformation perpetuated by NAMV. It is sad that such an organization is allowed to continue to place vulnerable people at risk due to the deluded belief system of the vaccine denialist cult.

  5. Fantastic blog! While searching for nursing pages to follow on FB, I came across the awful page, NAMV. After engaging with their members and getting blocked, I came to find Nurses Who Vaccinate and was thrilled to find an organization publicly supporting science and vaccines. I'm proud to be a member of NWV!

  6. Fantastic blog! I was once searching for nursing pages to follow on FB and I came across NAMV. I asked innocent questions and was attacked and then blocked from their page. Needless to say, I was appalled to see health care professionals supporting any kind of anti-vaccine agenda, whether they felt it was justified or not. I was especially turned off by their willingness to forgo the flu shot, one of the simplest things we as healthcare professionals can do to protect our patients. Thanks to that awful interaction, I searched for provaccine websites, an action which felt oxymoronic, and found Nurses who Vaccinate. I'm so proud to be a member of NWV!

  7. One can only hope that NAMV does take action. Streisand effect anyone?

Stolt-Nielsen v. Animalfeeds International Corp.

June 26, 2006

The opinion of the court was delivered by: Jed S. Rakoff, U.S.D.J.

Animalfeeds International Corp. and KP Chemical Corp. filed federal suits alleging that Stolt-Nielsen SA et al. (collectively "Stolt") violated the antitrust laws in ways that caused respondents to overpay for the shipment of various items in parcel tankers owned or operated by Stolt and others. Their suits, along with certain similar actions brought by other plaintiffs, were consolidated for pretrial proceedings and transferred to the District of Connecticut. Stolt then moved to compel arbitration of the plaintiffs' claims pursuant to the arbitration clauses in the plaintiffs' respective shipping agreements with Stolt. The Court of Appeals held that all claims were arbitrable, and referred the matter to arbitration. JLM Industries, Inc. v. Stolt-Nielsen S.A., 387 F.3d 163 (2d Cir. 2004).

Animalfeeds International Corp. and KP Chemical Corp. then filed a Consolidated Demand for Class Arbitration on May 19, 2005, asserting claims on behalf of themselves and a class consisting of "[a]ll direct purchasers of parcel tanker transportation services globally for bulk liquid chemicals, edible oils, acids, and other specialty liquids from [Stolt] and their co-conspirators (the "Class"), at any time during the period from August 1, 1998 to November 30, 2002 (the "Class Period")." Stolt objected, arguing that they never consented to class arbitration.

Each contract here in issue contains one of two standard maritime arbitration clauses, neither of which expressly permits class arbitration.*fn1 See Animalfeeds Int'l Corp. et al. v. Stolt-Nielsen SA et al. Partial Final Clause Construction Award (Dec. 20, 2005) (the "Award"), at 5. The arbitrators - a distinguished panel comprised of Gerald Aksen (Chair), Kenneth R. Feinberg, and William R. Jentes (the "Panel") - nonetheless held that the clauses, though silent, permit class arbitration. Id. at 7-8.

Stolt now moves to vacate the Award, arguing that the Panel's decision was made in manifest disregard of the law. See Duferco Int'l Steel Trading v. T. Klaveness Shipping A/S, 333 F.3d 383 (2d Cir. 2003). Given the very broad latitude accorded arbitration awards, the doctrine of "manifest disregard" is to be invoked in exceptional circumstances only. Id. at 389. Specifically, to vacate an arbitration award for manifest disregard of the law, the Court must find "both that (1) the arbitrators knew of a governing legal principle yet refused to apply it or ignored it altogether, and (2) the law ignored by the arbitrators was well defined, explicit, and clearly applicable to the case." Halligan v. Piper Jaffray, Inc., 148 F.3d 197, 202 (2d Cir. 1998). Here, regretfully, the Court is forced to conclude that both these elements have been established.

The Panel begins its discussion in the Award by asserting that "resolution of the foregoing issue [of whether the clauses permit class arbitration] is controlled by the Supreme Court's decision in Green Tree Fin. Corp. v. Bazzle, 539 U.S. 444 (2003)." Award at 4. But, even if, as the Panel also suggests, "the parties agree" that Bazzle governs the issue, id., that underlying assertion is plainly wrong, and no "agreement" can make it right: for Bazzle decided only that the issue was for the arbitrator in the first instance and remanded for that purpose. Id. at 454.

As for the related questions that Bazzle failed to resolve - whether the Federal Arbitration Act (which provides for federal enforcement of arbitration provisions in contracts involving commerce, as in Bazzle, or in maritime contracts, as here, see 9 U.S.C. § 2) precludes class actions and preempts state law - the Panel here did not reach them; and since they involve unsettled law they are not before this Court on a claim of "manifest disregard." But what the Court cannot ignore is that the Panel, proceeding on the mis-assumption that Bazzle "controlled" the issue of whether the clauses here permitted class actions, see Award at 4, failed to make any meaningful choice-of-law analysis but simply made vague and passing reference to its belief that its analysis of Bazzle is "consistent with New York law as articulated by the Court of Appeals in Evans v. Famous Music Corp., 1 N.Y.3d 452 (2004) and with federal maritime law." Award at 4.

In actuality, the choice of law rules in this situation are well established and clear cut. Because the arbitration clauses here in issue are part of maritime contracts, they are controlled in the first instance by federal maritime law. As Stolt correctly argued to the Panel, "because these are federal maritime contracts, federal maritime law should govern." Stolt's Arb. Opp. at 7 n.13. See I/S Stavborg v. National Metal Converters, Inc., 500 F.2d 424 (2d Cir. 1974); In re Finagrain Compagnie Commerciale Agricole et Financiere S.A., 1980 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 9347 (S.D.N.Y. 1980).*fn2 That law provides that a court sitting in admiralty applies state law unless there is an established federal maritime rule governing the issue in dispute or the court wishes to fashion such a rule. See Wilburn Boat Co. v. Firman's Fund Ins. Co., 348 U.S. 310, 316-17 (1954).

Here, Stolt forcefully brought to the attention of the Panel that there was such a rule. As the Panel states:

Respondents [Stolt] point out, and Claimants [the respondents here] do not dispute, that the two arbitration clauses are part of a long tradition of maritime arbitration peculiar to the international shipping industry. Among other things, the clauses are part of standard contract forms developed by charterers and widely used by them and their brokers for 30 years. According to Respondents, the vast majority of these charter agreements have been entered into by foreign entities, pertaining to shipments between two foreign ports and requiring arbitration to be held outside the U.S. Respondents further assert, again without dispute from Claimants, that these arbitration clauses have never been the basis of a class action. Moreover, Respondents presented declarations and testimony from two experts in international maritime arbitrations to the effect that sophisticated, multinational commercial parties of the type that are sought to be included in the class would never intend that the arbitration clauses would permit a class arbitration.

Award at 6-7.

The Panel, however, although acknowledging "the forcefulness with which [Stolt] presented this argument," id. at 7, found it unpersuasive when weighed against the contract interpretation the Panel believed was mandated by Bazzle. Id. But if, instead, the Panel had made the choice-of-law analysis that it was mandated to make but chose to ignore, it would have had to recognize that what Stolt presented was tantamount to an established rule of maritime law. For in the maritime area, more than perhaps any other, the interpretation of contracts - and especially charter party agreements - is very much dictated by custom and usage. See, e.g., Orvig's Dampskibselskab Aktieselskab v. Munson S. S. Line, 16 F.2d 957, 958 (2d Cir. 1927); Schoonmaker-Conners Co. v. Lambert Transp. Co., 269 F. 583, 585 (2d Cir. 1920); Samsun Corp. v. Khozestan Mashine Kar Co., 926 F. Supp. 436, 439 (S.D.N.Y. 1996). Indeed, it could hardly be otherwise, for the international and transient nature of maritime commerce renders the development of binding rules of custom absolutely necessary if the business is not to devolve into chaos.

The Court finds, therefore, that the arbitrators manifestly disregarded a well defined rule of governing maritime law that precluded class arbitration under the clauses here in issue and that their decision to the contrary must therefore be reversed.

It remains to add, moreover, that the result would be the same even if there was no established maritime rule and state law then governed. For, as the parties here agree, the governing law would then be the law of New York. Perhaps implicitly recognizing as much, the Panel noted, as quoted above, that their approach, while in their view dictated by Bazzle, "is also consistent with New York law as articulated by the Court of Appeals in Evans v. Famous Music Corp., 1 N.Y.3d 452, 775 N.Y.S.2d 757 (2004)...." Award at 4. But the Panel offered no "jump cite" for this assertion, and on any fair reading of Evans its reasoning, if anything, supports Stolt's view of the law, rather than the Panel's.

The issue in Evans was whether a standard royalty provision that entitled certain songwriters to half of all net sums "actually received by the [publisher] with respect to such song or musical composition from any other source or right now known or which may hereafter come into existence," Evans v. Famous Music Corp., 1 N.Y.3d 452, 455 (2004), entitled the songwriters to half of certain U.S. tax savings that the publisher obtained as a result of foreign tax credits it received by paying foreign taxes on its foreign income derived from the compositions in question. Finding the contract ambiguous on this issue, the Court of Appeals "turn[ed] to extrinsic evidence," id. at 459, and found that "industry custom and practice," as well as the practice of the parties to these contracts over the past "23 to 59 years," strongly supported the position of the publisher, id. at 459-60. Accordingly, the Court held for the publisher.

If this same approach had been taken here, the Panel would necessarily have found for Stolt, since, as the Panel itself noted, Stolt presented uncontested evidence that the clauses here in question had never been the subject of class action arbitration. See Award at 6. The inference is irresistible, therefore, that Evans, if it is relevant here at all, is inconsistent with the Panel's conclusion, rather than consistent with it. Because, however, the Panel no more analyzed the specific issues here under New York law than under maritime law, they entirely ignored New York case law far more directly in point.

For example, in Salvano v. Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 85 N.Y.2d 173 (1995), "the issue on [the] appeal [was] whether Supreme Court had the authority to order the parties to proceed [to expedited arbitration] absent any provision explicitly authorizing expedited arbitration in the parties' [arbitration] agreement." Id. at 177.

The short answer to that contention is that arbitration agreements are contracts and must be interpreted under the accepted rules of contract law. The court's role is limited to interpretation and enforcement of the terms agreed to by the parties; it does not include the rewriting of their contract and the imposition of additional terms. To read into the [arbitration contract here, via indirect references] a provision authorizing compulsory expedited arbitration would be to fundamentally modify the terms of the parties' contract and force respondent to arbitrate in a manner contrary to the agreement to which it has assented.

Id. at 182 (citations omitted). Similarly, in Cullman Ventures, Inc. v. Conk, 252 A.D.2d 222 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998), the First Department held that "courts may not consolidate arbitrations in contravention of the parties' agreement even if consolidation would ensure a more economical proceeding.... A court's failure to give effect to provisions in separate agreements contemplating separate arbitrations is an unauthorized reformation of these contacts." See also, e.g., World Bus. Ctr., Inc. v. Euro-American Lodging Corp., 309 A.D.2d 166, 172 (N.Y. App. Div. 2003); Wallace Indus. v. Salt City Energy Venture, L.P., 233 A.D.2d 543, 545 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996); Continental Energy Assocs. v. Asea Brown Boveri, Inc., 192 A.D.2d 467, 468 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993).

This is consistent, moreover, with New York's historically narrow view of what can be read into a contract by implication. See generally Nissho Iwai Eur. v. Korea First Bank, 99 N.Y.2d 115, 122 (2002); Trustees of Freeholders & Commonalty v. Jessup, 173 N.Y. 84, 90 (1903); Fesseha v. Td Waterhouse Investor Servs., 193 Misc. 2d 253, 256 (N.Y. Misc. 2002).*fn3

Much, if not all, of this was forcefully brought to the Panel's attention by Stolt (albeit more as general principles than as a matter of New York law). See, e.g., Stolt's Arb. Opp. at 8 ("It is a fundamental rule of contract interpretation that when contracts are silent on an issue, no agreement has been reached. The failure of a contract to include such a term ... means that the parties did not intend to include it."); Award at 6-7 (summarizing extrinsic evidence supporting Stolt's position). But the Panel, because it did not make any choice-of-law analysis, failed to recognize how strongly Stolt's position accorded with New York law.

Thus, even if the governing law here is New York law (as opposed to general maritime law), the result would still be that the Panel acted in manifest disregard of the applicable law, and, in so doing, impermissibly "fashion[ed] a new contract under the guise of contract construction." Slatt v. Slatt, 64 N.Y.2d 966, 967 (1985).*fn4 Such manifest disregard of the applicable law compels the Court to vacate the Award.

Accordingly, the Partial Final Clause Construction Award is hereby vacated, and the case is remanded to the Panel for proceedings consistent with this Opinion and Order.

Rangers’ Staal returns; angers Lundqvist in practice

Rangers defenseman Marc Staal, who has missed the past two games with a suspected left knee issue, pronounced himself good to go for Thursday night’s match at the Garden against the Senators, but not before unleashing a slap shot at this morning’s skate that knocked down Henrik Lundqvist after hitting the goaltender in the mask.

Lundqvist, who has played the last two games with a stiff neck following Friday’s goalmouth collision initiated by Montreal’s Benoit Pouliot, seemed irritated, shouting before sending the puck back in the direction of the defensemen who were lined up on the blue line to shoot.

“I’m OK,” said Lundqvist, who had a brief one-on-one chat with coach John Tortorella before leaving the ice, and who will make his 19th straight start Thursday night.

Staal said, “He’s OK, he’s a little sensitive at times. It got away from me; that’s my excuse. He’s OK and that’s what matters.”

Martin Biron suffered a season-ending broken collarbone on Feb. 28 when a rising Derek Stepan shot caught him during a practice drill. Lundqvist suffered a bruised neck in November when a Brian Boyle slap shot in practice got away from the center.

Tortorella, though, has gone on record stating that he will not caution his players to keep their shots down in practice.

Staal is believed to have aggravated the left knee in last Friday’s game that he originally injured in Carolina on Feb. 22. The defenseman was sidelined for three games before playing the next seven. But he then missed the victories in Pittsburgh on Sunday and at the Garden against the Panthers on Tuesday that extended the club’s winning streak to five games.

“It felt pretty good, so I’ll be back at it tonight,” said Staal, who skated on his own Wednesday before joining the club Thursday morning.

“It’ll be good to be back in the lineup and try and win a big game at home.”

Staal’s return bumped Matt Gilroy into street clothes, with Steve Eminger dressing for the fifth straight match after being healthy scratch in four of the previous five games and in 13 of the previous 18 following the All-Star break.

“[Gilroy] hasn’t been real bad, but I like the way [Eminger] has played underneath the hash marks and with his physical play,” Tortorella said. “So he’ll go.”

Eminger, who partnered with Dan Girardi in Staal’s most recent absence, skates with Bryan McCabe.

Sean Avery was scratched for the fourth straight game and fifth of the last six matches.

The seventh-place Rangers’ magic number for clinching a playoff spot is 13 points that they either gain or the ninth-place Hurricanes lose

The Rangers announced the signing of 20-year-old free agent goaltender Jason Missiaen, who was selected by Montreal in the fourth round and116th overall in the 2008 Entry Draft.

The 6-8, 220-pound netminder (yes, 6-8, 220 pounds) had a 3.33 GAA and .893 save percentage while going 10-33-7 (yes, 10-33-7) for QMJHL Baie-Comeau. Missiaen was drafted out of Peterborough of the OHL.

The Right dance floor for you.

The technology behind dance floors was very basic in the 50's and 60's. Typically there were only wooden floors available until the 70's where vinyl floors started appearing. The 70's being an iconic fashion decade saw the introduction of the black and white sprung chequered dance floor. This floor is still currently one of the most popular dance floors available to hire today. It was also the 70's that saw the retro night fever dance floor make its debut.

The 90's became a great year for innovative dancefloor designs. We saw the introduction of the starlit dance floor which flooded the market by the end of the decade. By the beginning of the 2000's, the starlit dance floor was by far the most enquired about floor over the 11 varieties of flooring available to hire. Each of the 4ft x 2ft modular sprung panels have embedded white LED lights which would flash/twinkle which proved to be a massive hit for brides all over the United Kingdom. This dance floor is by far the most hired dance floor to date.

Very recently dance floors have become even more advanced. We saw the introduction of the RGB dance floor. You can now create effects, scrolling text and even live video feed via a computer. The RGB dance floor has proven popular for Corporate Functions, Wedding's and Birthday parties.

Don't forget, we supply our flooring to large exhibitions stands, TV sets and production, promotional events and other large occasions requiring quality flooring solutions in large quantities.

According to The Times' NewsFeed, Amazon will now "make it harder" (the article doesn't seem to specify further) to purchase certain genres of erotica, apparently particularly works that focus on prehistoric bestiality (no, seriously). Amazon's response is apparently in response to this article from Kernel Magazine, a multi-part "exposè" on Amazon and other book retailers profiting on erotica.

Censorship of fiction, regardless whatever form that censorship takes (including merely trying to make purchase "more difficult") is always worrisome for those who believe it could lead to a "slippery slope" ripple effect. Erotica hasn't always been a driving force, or even currently a main driving force, of genre fiction, but some of the most prominent works of genre fiction today (particularly in more sensationalist news pieces) are heavily driven by the erotica aspect.

Books with erotica only as minor plot points aren't invulnerable to censorship either. The debate as to whether or not erotica has any true literary contribution becomes muddled and readers' tastes and values naturally conflict over the "art verses smut" conflict.

Much of the popular fiction right now (and in fact throughout history) has aspects that might be considered "erotic," even if only implied. As someone once said, love is perhaps the greatest story of all - but there is legitimacy to the "smut" argument as well. This controversy will remain extremely difficult to wade through, and many excellent books (and those who consider the "smut" to be excellent nonetheless) remain in a precarious position.

Thanks to Jagvar who originally brought this to my attention when he posted this on, of all things, OppositeLock. The article's opening image was provided by him. Also, thanks for screwing up my neat little image order there, Kinja. I'll go back and fix it.

Haute Cuisine … Off (Yes!) Columbus

moira dovetail1h Haute Cuisine ... Off (Yes!) Columbus“Your amuse bouches,” the waiter said, setting down a plate of white plastic spoons whose filling glistened like a display of jewels. “Vodka gelée with sour cream, salmon roe, fried capers and chives.”

So much going on in one tiny mouthful! Our minds were racing. Yet each element of this fleeting palate teaser was precise and distinct.

The spoons were served along with confit shrimp pinned to the end of long wooden skewers, and a crusty, moist corn bread made with white cheddar. We hadn’t even looked at the menu yet.

Dovetail, chef and owner Jon Fraser’s excellent new restaurant, is tucked away in a hard-to-find townhouse on West 77th Street, one block from the Museum of Natural History. The main dining room—reached by climbing a flight of stainless steel stairs and passing through a small bar—looks like a faculty dining hall. It has plain wooden tables, a plain dark carpet and plain paneled walls, unadorned by art. The customers play the part, too: bespectacled, bearded gray-haired men in bulky sweaters and neatly coiffed, professorial-looking women in black. “I feel I could get a Ph.D. just by sitting here,” said one of my friends, who is from Scotland, as he looked around the room.

“This is what the Upper West Side is like,” explained his American companion, as though we were watching a nature program. “It’s totally different from downtown.”

But as the amuse bouches had hinted, the food at Dovetail makes downtown seem a lot closer.

Mr. Fraser brings a distinguished pedigree to his new venture: he has cooked at the French Laundry, Taillevent and Maison Blanche. In 2003 he opened Snack Taverna in the West Village, where he introduced his stylish take on Greek cooking. More recently he was the executive chef at Compass, an uneven restaurant whose kitchen he turned around to critical acclaim.

Mr. Fraser is a chef to watch; while the surroundings may be drab, there is no lack of color on the plate; the food at Dovetail is carefully crafted and complex.

In Fraser’s hands, a simple frisée salad becomes a work of art, the leaves elegantly heaped up with radicchio, squash, hazelnuts and pickled golden raisins, tossed in a hazelnut oil dressing. Blue point oysters are served not on the half shell, but already shucked, in a large white bowl, with pineapple mignonette and sea urchin roe, topped with slivers of fried sunchokes. My mind was racing again, spurred on by the chef’s daring interplay of unexpected textures and tastes.

Leaves of brussels sprouts garnish thin slices of serrano ham and perfectly ripened pears on a plate streaked with a creamy cauliflower purée.

“Do I detect a little truffle oil?” asked the Scotsman after he’d tasted the sprouts, which, like me, he’d first encountered in life as gray, sodden little balls. “Don’t you think that truffle oil is overused these days?”

I agreed, but it had its place in this dish—there was a certain irony in the idea of brussels sprouts, such a maligned vegetable, being a vehicle for haute cuisine.

Truffle oil is rich, and so is much of Mr. Fraser’s food. The clam chowder is smoky and thick, laced with pieces of chorizo and thickened with potatoes whipped into a smooth cream. Grilled salmon a la plancha is also extraordinary, the orange-pink flesh rare inside a caramelized crust.

Breaded lamb tongue, cut in small pieces and fried, constitutes Fraser’s version of a deconstructed muffuletta sandwich, with peppers, capers and slivers of black and green olives. The plate is decorated with a tiny terrine, made of charcuterie meats in a ham gelée lined with cheese, resembling a doll house Art Deco radio. Puffs of potato gnocchi arrive slathered with an ethereal ragú of veal short ribs with foie gras butter and prunes. Rich, for sure, and unforgettable.

But there are limits: The rack of lamb, faultlessly prepared with Indian spices, tabbouleh and Greek yogurt, proved too rich for me.

I dont care...

...about your 6 packs, your defined muscles, your huge muscles, your whatever muscles.

Well.... that’s not exactly true. It is but it isn’t.

We have a vision and that vision is our motivation, whatever it may be. Some say "I want a 6 pack," some say "I want toned arms," or whatever it is, you can even fill in your own as your reading (It doesn't even have to be fitness related.)

And as you tell me those things, I say "Ok, we can do that, we can do that, and we can definitely do that... we can make all that happen. Here’s what we need to do," then we get into the plan. The nutrition, the cardio, the homework. We text and e-mail. You read my Facebook posts and "like," them and they motivate you and we're on our way.

But to me, it’s not about 6 packs. Its about your health. Very few people say, "I want to be healthier," or "I want to live a very long time." I know you want it, its not that you ignore that part. It’s just that I see it differently. That’s why I tell you to buy a pair of running shoes. That’s why I try to teach you what to do and how to do it without me. (Reading between the lines there?)

I know certain people read this now and I hope they know I don’t write this stuff while pounding my chest like I'm some amazing leader of training. Far from it. I'm very open with the people I work with and they know we share similar hurdles and I'm on the path with them. Most know, I recently (over the winter) hired a trainer for myself. Jay Ashman writes my programs and it’s been great. For one, it’s so refreshing to not have to think about what I want to do to myself in the weight room. I see the paper and just go. Secondly, I like being held accountable. Its motivating that he writes it. I don’t want to suck! I want to be an example of his programming the same way I reference "Be the Brand," when talking about Blue Chip. Plus all the new ideas, new routines and its forced me out of my comfort zones and pushed me into new areas of training that I never would’ve bothered with. So again, I'm on the path. There's really no difference in me working with Jay and me going to take a yoga class... I’m looking for great ways to train my body.

But back to the health thing... I was recently at a function for my daughter and a woman got up to speak and she was probably 80-100lbs overweight.

I'm struggling in front of the lap top right now, because I really can’t express how I felt... I wanted to talk to her after... I wanted to give her my card and pay for a membership and train her for free. But I can’t just do that. People would think I was an asshole and who knows how she would take that... and I don’t mean it in any way other than, let me help you. I'll do it for free...

That’s what I mean when I say "I don't care about your 6 packs." I want you to live. Your family and friends want you to live a very long time!

I was on Facebook (which is a great place to read dumb things) and someone said something about "fat and lazy," and I don’t see it that way. For me, it’s always been about self love. If you love yourself and love the people around you, you'll care to stay here and stay healthy and be there for people. If you don’t, you won’t. It’s not laziness, its awareness. It’s being mindful of all decisions. Its knowing McDonald s is slow suicide. Its self love. If you love yourself, you’ll care to put the work in, to be healthy to stay.

I bought a shirt not too long ago that reads "Vote," with the Om symbol on the front.  It got my attention the way that word does every time I think of it or read it or hear it.  You "vote," every second of every day, not just ever few Novembers.  You vote with how you eat, you vote with what you read and what you watch.  You vote with where you work, the car you drive, who you hang with, what types of companies you support and how you spend your time.  So how are you voting?  Are you voting to live to see 80?  Or are you voting for a heart attack at 50?  Think that's harsh?  Think that's intense?  Its reality.  If you had McDonald's today, you voted.  If you fed your kids McDonald's,  you voted!  If you skipped a run, you voted.  If you rocked that BootCamp tonight, you definitely voted.
How you spend your time and everything that surrounds you is a vote.

A fantastic level of health and wellness is the goal and along that path we say "I want a 6 pack," as our shiny medal to collect along the way.

Whats on your calendar for 2013?  If you have nothing and need a partner, let me know.  Ill sign up for anything right now.

Typed by:

* free bonus track of the mixtape version

[Verse 1]
This here is on some truthful shit
It seems like everything I do you are use to it!
And I hate hearing stories about who you've been with
Thats when I gotta hide what I'm feeling inside
So you still think I'm confident and dumb
Is this gonna last?
Your up on a pedestal
Are we moving too fast?
Feels Like I'm in crazy competition with the past
That's why I gotta ask

Is anything I'm doin' brand new?
Brand new [5x]
Is anything I'm doin' brand new?
Brand new [5x]
(Aye Aye Aye)

[Verse 2]
This here is something personal
I highly doubt this feeling is reversible
Knowledge is pain and that is why it hurts to know
That you atempt to hide and put mistakes aside
So I don't ever question you were dumb
I can't even find the perfect brush
So i can paint what's going through my mind
Racing against myself but I'm a couple steps behind
That's why I gotta ask

[Verse 3]
Is anything I'm doing Brand New?
New [5x]
Is everything I'm doing too late?
Late [3x]
Did he take your clothes off just like this?
Did he give you loving just like this?
Did you spend the night in his bed on the very first date?
Tell me baby, am I too late?

Ask The Rabbi

Night Vision

The Color of HeavenArtscroll
Topic: Dreams, None during 7 Days

Moshe Mayor from Brooklyn, New York wrote:

Dear Rabbi,

The Gemara (Berachot 55b) states: Rabbi Zeirah said "Whoever sleeps seven days without having a dream, is called a bad person." Do you have any suggestions what did Maharsha say on this?

Dear Moshe Mayor,

As you may have noticed, Maharsha doesn't expound on this statement. He cross-references the two places in Tractate Berachot where this statement appears.

Rashi explains the basic idea as follows: Dreams are sometimes Divine messages. Seven days without such a vision indicates that the person is unworthy of Heavenly communication.

The Vilna Gaon has a different explanation: Life is like a dream, ephemeral and fleeting. If a person senses this, he will focus on the eternal purpose of life - studying Torah and doing mitzvot. Someone who goes seven days without sensing that this world is like a temporary dream has lost sight of the real purpose of life.

Why seven? Because for six days a person is busy pursuing a livelihood. He can therefore be forgiven for losing sight of life's temporary nature. But if he goes seven days - including Shabbat - without focusing on spiritual pursuits, he has abandoned life's real purpose.

Brussel’s Terror Attack Drives Europe Further Into Terrorism Rabbit Hole

Brussel’s Terror Attack Drives Europe Further Into Terrorism Rabbit Hole

As the Belgian capital, Brussels, deals with the immediate aftermath of coordinated terrorist attacks on the international airport and subway system that killed as many as 34 people and wounded 180 others, as ISIS attacks stretch from Turkey to Brussels.

On Tuesday morning, two bomb attacks targeted the Zaventem Airport, killing 11 people, and a third targeted a metro station near European Union headquarters, killing 20 people, while reports of a fourth explosion have now begun to emerge in what appears to be the controlled explosion of a device, with no further details at this time.

The bombings targeted the departures of the airport, which has now been cleared out by emergency security forces, while the city’s entire metro system remains on lockdown. Related: Supply Outages in OPEC Countries Push Up Oil Prices

EU Council meetings scheduled for Tuesday have been reportedly cancelled, while the EU Parliament has not been evacuated, but remains on high alert.

The country’s two nuclear power plants are also being evacuated of all non-essential personnel as a precaution, and surveillance and security have been stepped up. This precaution is being taken due to video footage discovered after the Paris terrorist attacks showed a senior Belgian nuclear official at the property of a key suspect.

This is Paris 2.0. The main suspect in the November bombings in Paris, Salah Abdeslam, was captured in Brussels on Friday.

So far, we have learned from Belgian media reports that the airport attack was a suicide bombing. Related: What Happens When Oil Hits $50?

The Belgian interior minister had warned on Friday that the arrest could lead to a revenge attack and that the country should be on high alert, as “stopping one cell can … push others into action.”

Oil prices immediately responded downward to the news of the attacks in Brussels, with investors looking instead for safer commodities, such as gold and government bonds.

Brent crude fell 14 cents this morning to $41.40 per barrel. By late morning, Brent crude futures were down 16 cents to $41.38 per barrel. By around noon, both WTI and Brent had jumped back a bit, with WTI up 0.1 percent to $41.54 per barrel and Brent up 0.4 percent to $41.69 per barrel. Related: Have Oil Markets Grown Numb To Supply Disruptions?

The Brussels attacks come right after a terrorist attack in Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, over the weekend, and also shortly after the European Union struck a deal with Turkey. Turkey agreed to take back refugees and asylum seekers landing in Greece, thereby closing off this particular human smuggling route. In return, the EU will give Turkey 6 billion euros in aid to help 2.7 million Syrian refugees now in Turkey. Turkey is also trading in here on an eased European visa regime for its citizens.

The string of attacks—all fallout from the Syrian conflict and the fight against the Islamic State—from Paris and Ankara to Istanbul, and now Brussels, suggests the range of targets from the terrorist group are widening.

Talk of closed borders, unrest leading to riots and the overall viability of the European Union is intensifying and the security situation, and the political fallout could be significant.

Whatever is not moving for now

After some convo with others I've decided that there are a number of issues against moving and it is just too much work. (I know, that sounds lazy - but blogging doesn't pay the bills).

You may notice some changes to the blog in the upcoming weeks though, the first of which is the addition of "pages". If you look just under the header you will see "Home" and "Featured Pens" - if you click on "Featured Pens" this will take you to a list of all my featured pen articles. I'm going to work on adding more pages so that it will be easier to find articles on the blog.

I'm also doing some cleaning up - any blogs on the blogroll that have not had posts in the past 3 months are being removed - so if your blog is no longer listed and you update it, please let me know. Also, if you, as readers, could provide some feedback, it would be appreciated. Are there things on the blog that you don't like and would like to see removed? Are there things that you would like to see added?

Lastly I hope to migrate to my own domain probably - but we'll see.

Have a happy Sunday!!

This thread is designed to help you get started with setting up anticheat on your server.

Setup your IP addresses in the allowed list (no longer necessary)
See this thread: http://www.r1ch.net/forum/index.php?topic=1392.0

Anticheat Server Cvars
The first order of business is to setup the anticheat specific cvars, either by reading the anticheat cvars thread or using the Q2 config generator. Remember, all cvars and commands must be set before any "map" command runs, so make sure that loading a map is the last thing in your config or on the command line.

File Checks
Next you will need to set up file checks in a file called anticheat-hashes.txt. There are two ways of doing this - if your server is part of a group of servers used for a league or tournament game, the admin of the league will likely already have an anticheat-hashes.txt file which you can simply drop into your mod directory. Be sure to check with the league admin often for any updates.

If your server is standalone, you will likely have to configure the file checks yourself. There is quite a bit of work involved to create a good file check list as you will need to include checks for any models, sounds, skins, etc that could possibly be modified by a player to gain an advantage. Luckily there are several tools to help you with this process. See the anticheat-hashes.txt configuration for full information on setting up file checks. Please do not skip setting up the file checks, without them anticheat will not stop any spiked models or similar cheats.

Cvar Checks
Now we come to anticheat-cvars.txt, this file allows you to clamp down on specific settings on every anticheat client. For example, you may not wish to allow EGL's 3rd person camera or AprQ2's cel shading or you may wish to limit the maximum gl_modulate value. Using anticheat-cvars.txt allows you to restrict cvars in a secure way. See the anticheat-cvars.txt thread for more information. Again, if your server is part of a league or tournament, check with the admin as they may provide an already configured anticheat-cvars.txt for you to use.

Finally, not every client will be able to run anticheat. If you force anticheat on your servers, some legitimate players may not be able to play if they are using an unsupported OS version. The anticheat-tokens.txt file allows you to create "tokens", essentially passwords that allow a single client to bypass any anticheat requirements. The format of anticheat-tokens.txt is very simple, just one token per line. A client that is unable to use anticheat can then set the token in their client before connecting using set actoken token where token is one of the tokens from the anticheat-tokens.txt file.

If you have any questions or problems, feel free to make a thread about them.

Bringing back Koren Robinson was the right move

Seattle Times staff columnist

St. Louis @ Seahawks, 1:05 p.m., Ch. 13

In the postgame gloom late Sunday afternoon, Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said he'd never seen anything like the injury plague that has hit his wide receivers.

Since the team reported for its last training camp in Kirkland, it feels as if the season has been scripted by Edgar Allan Poe, like some pigskin version of the "Masque of the Red Death."

One by one the pass catchers have dropped — in preseason, in pregame warmups, at training camp and in the regular season — Bobby Engram, Ben Obomanu, Nate Burleson, Seneca Wallace, Logan Payne. Add Deion Branch, still recovering from last season's knee injury, and it has been a horror show in Seattle.

"Unprecedented," Holmgren calls it.

Now, these desperate times call for desperate measures, which is precisely why the Seahawks signed veteran receiver Koren Robinson Tuesday to a one-year contract. (They also traded a draft pick to Denver for receiver Keary Colbert.)

Signing Robinson is a Hail Mary pass that had to be thrown.

It should have been done last week, and the Hawks' reluctance to do it already might have cost them a precious win against division-rival San Francisco.

At 0-2, this is the time for the Hawks to loosen the rules and for team president Tim Ruskell to get over himself. And even if it is a week late, it is the right thing to do. Beggars can't be choosers.

Robinson, 28, comes with no guarantees, but he is the kind of playmaker the Seahawks desperately need.

Six years ago, he caught 78 passes for them, for 1,240 yards. Three years ago, he made the Pro Bowl as a kick returner for Minnesota.

Surely, no team is more familiar with the baggage Robinson brings with him than the Seahawks. In 2004 Holmgren sat him for a game for breaking team rules and the league suspended him for four games that season for violating its substance-abuse policy.

The Hawks released him in 2005 after the first of his two DUI arrests. Now, this is probably his last, best chance at saving his career.

When he arrived before the 2005 season, Ruskell began changing the culture of a franchise that needed reordering. He got rid of clubhouse lawyer/linebacker Anthony Simmons. Robinson was released. And, eventually Ruskell rid the team of troubled tight end Jerramy Stevens.

He was right on all of those calls.

But exceptions have to be made and rewards have to be weighed against risks.

Bringing back Robinson is a move based on need. Maybe he can break a play or two that could be the difference in another playoff run.

And signing him is risk free.

Two weeks into the season, the Seahawks are a mess. Signing Robinson isn't going to make them messier.

He's never been a problem in the locker room. In fact, he was well-liked by the players, and even Holmgren, when he was in Seattle. His salary, reportedly about $730,000, won't be a financial drain.

Robinson has had serious issues with alcohol and he will know, before today's practice starts, that he will be gone at the first sign of trouble.

The first time he's late for a meeting, the first time he shows up five minutes tardy for a practice, a bus or a plane, he will be unemployed again.

Holmgren wanted Robinson last week, when the Hawks squandered a week trying to shoehorn Samie Parker into their offense. Only Ruskell's stubbornness kept Robinson off the roster.

After Wallace and Payne were hurt Sunday, the Hawks had to press into action newcomer Billy McMullen.

Both of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck's interceptions were intended for McMullen. And a McMullen fumble stopped another would-be scoring drive.

Certainly the loss can't be blamed on McMullen. He had practiced with the team three days. He wasn't expecting to play. He did as much as he could — three catches for 48 yards — but Robinson might have done more.

Robinson knows Holmgren's West Coast offense. He knows the terminology. Knows the quarterback. Knows the system.

It is asking too much to think of Robinson as the solution, but, as former Hawks coach Chuck Knox might say, Robinson is a football player who can make football plays.

He knows the playbook and he has enough left in his talented legs to make just enough plays to help a team that desperately needs his help.

Now if only he could play a little cornerback as well.

Liz Randall's Cycling Blog - a life behind bars

"With ordinary talents and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable"

Friday, 5 March 2010

Me to Ben  last night via SMS  " Hope you had a good recovery day"
Ben to me..instant response(!)...."It was an 80 km race today"
Me..."whoops! got that one wrong! did you go?"
Him....... 6th
Me...brilliant, proud of you!

So Ben and Ryan came 6th and 7th on the day, are lying 6th and 8th overall and are leading the pairs competition by about an hour.

Ben and Ryan are "Team ayup", but I was very disappointed that the ay-up facebook page was only mentioning their solo rider's successes, so I did the interfering mother thing and posted a msg asking them why no mention!!!

For the non cyclist "ayup: are lights for cyclists ...both road and MTB and are very very good.  In fact, I'm borrowing a set of Ben's light for Italy; my eyes take an age to change over when moving from sunshine to dark...even in that small tunnel on the bike path near Bourke Road and some of those tunnels through the mountains are very long and full of cars etc. Last year someone came off and broke bones when they disappeared into a small pothole, a fate I don't fancy happening to me.

The bike is developing cobwebs but I've promised it an outing tomorrow afternoon.  Today I'm off up into the country to pick up some equipment and tomorrow morning I'm fundraising for the Oncology Children's Foundation.

The ocf fund research in"pursuit of a cure" for cancer in children and as a participant in the the Italy tour  I'm asked to fund raise  for them.   If you feel you'd like to support them and don't get to see me in person please visit my "hero" page

These Brief and Driven Moments

Arizona Trail (AZT) near Flagstaff

My family and I spent a few hours in this place, not hiking, which sounded hard and repetitious, but rather nature exploring, which allowed us to move without a set destination or goal, other than stopping as often as possible to ferret out wild flowers, gently lift logs in search of interesting fungi, and following paw prints into the woods to see if they connected with legs, or other evidence of passages--tree scrapings, dirt scratchings, food raiding, scat making, night bedding, all of these we found signs of, just by looking a bit. It rained on us, gently at first, then more insistent, peppered with hail, and turning the trail into a muddy imprint recorder in which we left our own sign: family of four, meandering in the woods, doubling back and venturing into some insignificant corners for no apparent reason, with possible indication of tentative snare-making practice, or perhaps knot tying, or just cloud gazing. We spent a few hours then hurried on to the next thing, the next planned destination, an inside place, constructed and enclosed, without mud or signs of wild animals. I wonder what our hurry was. I question our planning, our thoughts, our rushed exit from here: why not linger longer? Why not keep on the same program for days, poking under rocks, wandering along the AZT, seeing what's there, feeding wonder with wonder, to each other. Did you see that? Should we follow? Why not?

Something drove us onwards and away. A habit, I think, of throwing mental darts at ways to fill up our days, then clinging to the targets which they happen to strike as "plans" which we then execute, fairly robotically if I am honest, not asking our hearts what they would prefer to do with the next hours (wander in the woods and up and around the mountains and perhaps up to the snows and then back down for some splashing in the streams), but instead expending the designated hours on the designated tasks, following through if you will, but in so doing pushing down a little more of what the heart wanted, making it subservient to schedules and destinations, beginnings, routes, endings.

It was a great afternoon, but I have a regret. I regret that there was not splashing in streams and hiking up to find the snow, that we didn't let the nature exploration explore itself farther, ourselves, inwards and outwards, a continuation of the destination-free, schedule-free we moved for some hours, anyway. We quit fresh on a trail and in a place that wanted for us to give much more to it, until our legs burned, our lungs were spent, and our minds sated on a thousand and one unstructured images of trees and paw prints and plants and things. It was good, but it wasn't enough, because we let the schedule be the schedule too much. These brief moments were too driven by what was outside of them. Push away, outside, push away. Next time, before we start: a meditation on trees, and mud, and outside places, in and for themselves, and as long as they need. As long as it needs.

  1. Replies
    1. Probably should have mentioned I was also reading "Wild", the account of a woman's hike along the Pacific Crest Trail, when I wrote this. My feet hurt for her feet, though.

  2. The lure and allure of the trail.

  3. Having just returned from highly planned trip, you hit the nail on the head. Again!

    1. Fly away, be free, RANTWICK. Unplug, and go where your spirit moves. Or not.

Cow's milk allergy as a predictor of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation at school age

Dr L. Pekka Malmberg, Department of Allergy, Helsinki University Central Hospital, PO Box 160, 00029 HUS, Helsinki, Finland.

Background Cow's milk allergy (CMA) has been found to be associated with an increased incidence of asthma at school age. However, prospective population-based studies of CMA and the development of airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsivess (BHR) are lacking.

Objective The aims of this study was to evaluate CMA as a risk factor for BHR and airway inflammation presented later in childhood.

Methods We followed prospectively 118 children with CMA and invited them to a clinical visit at a mean age of 8.6 years including the measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) and bronchial challenge with histamine. Ninety-four patients and 80 control subjects from the same cohort participated.

Results At school age, children with a history of CMA had higher FENO levels (P=0.0009) and more pronounced responsiveness to histamine (P=0.027) than their controls. Stratified analysis showed a significant difference only in IgE-positive CMA. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that IgE-positive CMA [odds ratio (OR) 3.51; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.56–7.90; P=0.002] and a history of wheeze during the first year of life (OR 2.81; 95% CI 1.16–6.84; P=0.023) were independent explanatory factors for increased FENO, and IgE-positive CMA (OR 3.37; 95% CI 1.03–10.97; P=0.044) and parental smoking (OR 3.41; 95% CI 1.14–10.22; P=0.028) for increased BHR, whereas for IgE-negative CMA, no associations with FENO or BHR were found. In the CMA group, those exposed to CM very early at the maternity hospital, had less BHR (P=0.002).

Conclusions Compared with their controls, children with a history of IgE-positive CMA show signs of airway inflammation, expressed as higher FENO, and more pronounced bronchial responsiveness to histamine at school age. In contrast to IgE-negative CMA, IgE-positive CMA is a significant predictor of increased FENO and BHR at school age. Very early exposure to CM was associated with less BHR.

Employment Problems and Diabetes

Department of Community Medicine, Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, 17 Horse-ferry Road, London SW1P 2AR, UK

A survey of employment problems in a random sample of diabetic patients and a group of control subjects aged 17–65 years was carried out in eight centres in the UK. Data were linked to information collected from patients' diabetic clinic notes relating to the presence and treatment of any diabetic complications and quality of diabetic control. Difficulties in obtaining employment because of diabetes were reported by 13 % of diabetic patients, and because of illness by 2% of control subjects (p < 0.001). Nine percent of diabetic patients and 2% of control subjects reported having to change their job because of their illness (p < 0.001), and 7 % of people with diabetes and 2% of people without diabetes reported losing a job because of their illness (p < 0.001). Diabetic shift workers were twice as likely as control subjects working shifts to experience problems with their job (18 vs 8%, p = 0.045). Reports of any sickness absence in the last 12 months were not significantly different for people with and without diabetes (49 vs 45%). Sickness absence in excess of 20 days in the last 12 months was more common among diabetic patients than control subjects (29 vs 16%, p < 0.001). People with diabetes are more likely to experience problems in obtaining employment and staying employed than people without diabetes.

The Friday Five

The Friday Five: Kinds of flowers I planted in my garden today.
1) RED Geraniums (In the garden and in the flowerboxes I have hanging from the railing on my front porch.)
2) Red and white striped petunias. (In the flowerboxes with the red geraniums)
3) Kansas RED peony. (I couldn't pass it up when I saw the name.)
4) Stella d' Oro Lilies (I've always wanted some of those. Beautiful yellow flowers.)
5) Double petal red and white columbine. (I'd never seen it before and thought it was so beautiful.)
On a side note, I ordered FTD flowers to be delivered to my mom for Mother's Day. While online, I jumped through all the hoops of delivery address, filling out the card, billing address, credit card info, etc. Only to have the shopping cart wiped out when I clicked the "order" button. Frustrated, I decided to order by phone instead. Jumped through more hoops, but via phone this time with a really nice gal named Jennifer.
Guess how many floral arrangements were delivered to my mother today?
That's right.
Happy HAPPY Mother's Day, Mom.

  1. It's a shame you don't like red flowers. LOL

    Glad FTD delivered flowers to your mom. Hope you don't get double billed!

  2. I got some of the double red columbine too because I like ruffly flowers. LOL!

    Your Mom might wonder what mischief you're up to now with two bouquets.

  3. Mom's gotta love that! Twice as much love. (SIGH) I'd love to have a green thumb, but sadly, it was not meant to be.

414 US 1050 Fitzpatrick v. New York

414 U.S. 1050

94 S.Ct. 554

38 L.Ed.2d 338

State of NEW YORK.

No. 73-5370.

Supreme Court of the United States

November 19, 1973

On petition for writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals of New York.

The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.

Mr. Justice WHITE, with whom Mr. Justice DOUGLAS joins, dissenting.

view counter

Petitioner Martin Fitzpatrick was convicted for the first-degree murder of two police officers in Sherrill, New York. The police followed reliable leads and located a house owned by Fitzpatrick in Syracuse. After attempting to get a response from inside, the police entered the house through a door which had been left ajar. As they came to a room on the second floor, petitioner called out from a closet in which he was hiding—'Don't shoot. I give up.' The officers seized and handcuffed him, and took him out into the hall. The police then questioned Fitzpatrick about the gun he had used, after advising him of his rights. He stated that it was in the closet where he had been found. The gun was retrieved from the closet and it was subsequently identified as the murder weapon at trial.

At a suppression hearing, the trial judge determined that petitioner had not been sufficiently apprised of his rights under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966), and ruled petitioner's oral statements to the police inadmissible. The trial court nevertheless admitted the gun into evidence, rejecting petitioner's contention that it be excluded as fruit of the poisonous tree. Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963). The trial court adopted what has been termed the rule of 'inevitable discovery,' stating 'proper police investigation would [in any event] have resulted in a search of that closet and [the gun's] discovery.' The New York Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the search was not inconsistent with Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 89 S.Ct. 2034, 23 L.Ed.2d 685 (1969), and also adopted the inevitable discovery rule. Chimel held that a search of premises incident to arrest was justified when limited to 'a search of the arrestee's person and the area 'within his immediate control'—construing that phrase to mean the area within which he might gain possession of a weapon or destructible evidence.' Id., at 763, 89 S.Ct. 2034. This limitation lends substance to petitioner's claim that this search, of a closet in a room, while an arrestee is handcuffed in a hall in the presence of police, cannot be justified. At the very least, a substantial issue of compliance with Chimel is posed and is deserving of this Court's attention.

Of equal importance is the adoption by the New York Court of Appeals of the inevitable discovery rule. The rejection of that rule by the Second Circuit, United States v. Paroutian, 299 F.2d 486 (CA2 1962), where evidence was discovered as the 'fruit' of an illegal search, may pose a dilemma for law enforcement officials in the State of New York. Moreover, if the fruits doctrine applies to exclude evidence obtained as a result of statements made after improper Miranda warnings, compare Miranda, supra, 384 U.S., at 476-477, 86 S.Ct. 1602, with Harris v. New York, 401 U.S. 222, 91 S.Ct. 643, 28 L.Ed.2d 1 (1971), it is a significant constitutional question whether the 'independent source' exception to inadmissibility of fruits, Wong Sun, supra, 371 U.S., at 487-488, 83 S.Ct. 407, encompasses a hypothetical as well as an actual independent source.

Because in important respects the decision is arguably at odds with decisions of this Court, I would grant the petition for certiorari.

2g of water at a temperature T1=80 C is mixed with 2g of ice at a temperature of T2=0 C. I assumed heat lost by the water is heat gained by the ice. -Q(water)= Q(ice) Where Q(water)= mc∆T and Q(ice) = mL + mc∆T I got final temperature is 0 C or 273 K. Anyone back me up?
