Sexual act where a man is engaging in sexual intercourse in the doggy-style position and shifts his weight on top of his partner, while keeping his penis inserted, to the point of where he is balancing on top of her with arms and legs out-stretched (not touching the ground or holding on to anything) but is still able to pump.
Man, that guy in the porno pulled a flying squirrel!

Essentially, the "rick roll" of sex positions. It is done from the missionary position, although can be managed from doggy style, by extending arms and legs outward in the position of a flying squirrel or a skydiver. Upon doing the "flying squirrel" you must scream "FLYING SQUIRREL" while balancing on your mate. This has been known to stop sex immediately, ruining all chances of a climax.
"this is going to feel great...FLYING SQUIRREL!!!!!!"
-end sex-

The act of squeezing the last glass of wine from a wine box.

In these tougher times, many of us are drinking Box wine, and there is always one more glass in the box after the normal process or using the spout/nozzle

Rip open the Box (use a a fire starter) and flatten out the plastic bag. Grab all four corners with the spout pointed down....Looks like a flying squirrel.

Drain out all the remaining wine to the spout/nozzle and pour into glass.
How are we doing with that box of Wine - "Looks like we are going to need a Flying Squirrel"

No more wine ? "No, I used the last, had to Flying Squirrel it"

Guy 1: Did you hear about the flying squirrel?

Guy 2: Ya. I did the flying squirrel last night and she was squirting acorns.

Simply wack off with a window open, find your target, aim down and try and launch your shot and hit them right in the face. If you succeed then don't look back.
The flying squirrel can be done in almost any second story building and is extremely mean but hilarious

A counter-rape tactic, in which the victim lies in wait in a spiderman-style pose, arms and legs spread, on the ceiling (on the underside of the top bunk of a bunkbed, etc.) above the rapist's bed. When the rapist returns to his/her sleeping area the victim lets out a battle cry and drops from the ceiling like a flying squirrel. Counter-rape ensues.
Anna always said that if someone raped her, she would flying squirrel their ass.

Fuckwriting is a type of writing that is a flow of emotion.
Fuckwriting is when you write the first word that comes into mind and you don't go back and you change it. It first appeared on DeviantArt on Julian5604's account.
Brainvomit is another, more appropriate word for it.
The first example of fuckwriting was "fuck zombies and fbi rape"
i wake up in a deserted street filled with pop cans and bags. its black and Grey sky shines my eyes to the corner. I loved that girl and the zombies are tearing my heart out. its painful and sarcastic. its so dull. its so boring. i want action with this watermelon. my blood is red and its all over the city. the zombies are closing in on us and its insane. my viens fuck my arm tightly. shit the zomibes are getting closer and I know they want to rape me. they want to fuck this heart so bad. fucking bitch is right there. right there. right there,. right there. this is my last words. these are my last words before the fuck zombies eat my small little arm off. its for the better because i'm deformed. i'm so fucking deformed. i have a small little arm and a tight little hand. oh no here comes the fbi or are they going to save me? shit i odnt know. wow i swear a lot when i'm about to get fucked by zombies.

A sexy, dark and mysterious boy with unbelievably good looks. He has a secret, you know that. Some dark, deep secret that, if discovered, may open the world to a whole other dimension. His words are careful, and his thoughts even sharper. Easy to fall in love with due to his multiple personalities he can put on. A total smartass, but he can also be a sweetheart. He's a real good kisser, and even better in bed due to his experience (also part of his dark secret ;P). He can make your head spin with his theories, and can make your heart go nuts in and out of bed!! <3

One warning: Watch out for his glare. His eyes can burn through your soul.
Girl 1: "Omaigawd, is that Sorin?"
Girl 2: "Yeah, I think so. Hey, did you hear? He totally left a guy broken and bloody in the ally the other night!"
Girl 1: "Oh wow, I heard his martial arts skills are unmatched."
Girl 2: "Yeah. I wonder what he's like in bed..."
Girl 1: "Wanna find out?"
Girl 2: "Are you serious? You think he'll give it a try?"
Girl 1: -walks over to Sorin- "Hey, you busy later?"
Sorin: -looks up from book and rolls eyes- "Not interested." -goes back to book-
Girl 1: -gasp-
Girl 2: -giggles as girl 1 comes back over to her- "See? He's so mysterious. Ready to give up?"
Girl 1: "No freaking way! Did you see the way he looked at me? Total lust."
Girl 2: -sigh- "You're hopeless."

Oldest dorm at Notre Dame. Because of this, many of the rooms are nicknamed. The famous "Quint" room is in Sorin College, although contrary to its name seven boys live in this room. Other rooms include The Hole, The Drug Stop,The Box, The Otter Room, Downtown, and the other Turet Rooms. Sorin College is the Brother dorm of the second smallest girls dorm, Howard Hall. Sorin thinks they are the best dorm, but after sweet events that Howard organizes for the dorms, the boys realize that their greatness must be attributed to the women of Howard.
-Did you go to the Quint clearout in Sorin this weekend?
-Wasnt that the monochramatic party? That party was sweet!

Research Bio

As an environmental epidemiologist, Dr. Jusko's research interests concern the environmental causes of human disease. Within this broad area, Dr. Jusko's research primarily focuses on how environmental chemicals contribute to adverse immunological development over the entire lifespan. He is interested in the immune system as both a disease outcome (e.g., asthma, lowered vaccine response, development of autoimmunity), and as a mechanism of susceptibility for other disease outcomes, such as neurobehavioral development.

Dr. Jusko is exploring these questions in a diverse set of populations. For instance, he is investigating whether in utero and early postnatal exposure to persistent pollutants is associated with measures of immune system function in a cohort of children in eastern Slovakia. In adults, he is examining whether chemical exposures are associated with antinuclear antibodies (ANA), autoantibodies frequently observed in individuals with systemic autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). He is also a longtime collaborator on the Rochester Lead Study, which examines the potential neurobehavioral effects of early life lead exposure in a cohort of children in Rochester NY, and an NIEHS-led project examining neurodevelopment in a birth cohort of approximately 10,000 mother-infant pairs (the Generation R Study) in relation to in utero exposure to organophosphate pesticide metabolites.

Congratulations! If you're reading this, the world didn't end Friday, which means yet another column of awesome gadgets, some of which might help you live a long time.

Tinké tracks your ticker

Measuring roughly 1-by-1 inch, the pocket-sized Tinké from Singapore-based Zensorium connects to the iPhone to measure heart rate, blood oxygen level, respiratory rate and heart rate variability.

Using optical sensing technology, Zensorium boils down these stats into two scores: the Vita Index, which measures your cardiorespiratory system, and the Zen Index, which quantifies your stress levels. It typically takes about 20 seconds for Tinké (pronounced tink) to gather these measurements, but if you're fidgety, you'll have to redo them for improved accuracy.

While the hardware is conveniently sized and easy to use, where Tinké ($119) really stands out is on the software side. The app is beautifully designed, showing lovely visualizations as you're using the device. Likewise, the website is one of the best I've seen to date — refreshing, elegant and innovative, with slick interaction to clearly demonstrate how Tinké works.

Peculiarly enough, Tinké is yet another accessory that launched post-iPhone 5 that is dependent on a 30-pin connector. That doesn't mean iPhone 5 users are out of luck, but they'll have to rely on Apple's Lightning-to-30-pin adapter.

A toothbrush you actually look forward to using

Most people make New Year's resolutions to eat better or lose weight, but how many people vow to take better care of their teeth?

To make sure your pearly whites last as long as you do, Philips has just the brush, one that might make you look forward to the task. The DiamondClean ($219.99) is the most graceful and polished toothbrush I've laid eyes on. The design community agrees; among its accolades, the brush has won a Best of the Best red dot design award.

But it's not just about the DiamondClean's aesthetics. It's about improving yours. With five modes — clean, white, polish, gum care and sensitive — it brushes at 31,000 strokes per minute and uses sonic technology to drive fluid to hard-to-reach areas between teeth and along the gum line. With the two-minute smart timer, the brush can remove plaque, lift stains and improve gum health within a few weeks.

Philips didn't just succeed in designing a fantastic toothbrush but also a smart charging system and travel case. At home, the DiamondClean recharges wirelessly via induction. Instead of a charging dock, you just place it in the included rinsing glass. On the road, the brush fits nicely in a carrying case that powers up via mini USB.

In short: Your teeth (and your eyes) will love this toothbrush.

Striiv Play encourages activity with competition

These days, there are more smart pedometers out there than you can count. Launched earlier this fall, Striiv Play is a wearable fitness monitor that tracks steps walked, stairs climbed, distance traveled, calories burned and duration of activity.

Like the Striiv before it, the emphasis here is on gamification — very much designed for the Zynga crowd. This means interacting and competing against friends and yourself. The accompanying iPhone app is a step up from the original Striiv's screen (which unfortunately meant a form factor resembling a beeper) and Web dashboard, providing more insightful analytics charted over time. However, given the target audience, the app and its games can come off a bit cheesy.

In addition to the lower profile and cheaper price tag ($69.95 versus $99.95), the Play's major upgrade is wireless data transfer, done with the low-power Bluetooth 4.0. Given the newer technology, this means the Play is only compatible with the new iPad, fifth-generation iPod Touch as well as the iPhone 4S and 5.

The SoundFly on the wall

In the crowded portable speaker market, JBL manages to design one that stands out from the pack.

Even though the SoundFlyBT ($179) is a wireless Bluetooth speaker, it's tethered to a fixed location, or to be more specific, a wall outlet. This integrated plug can power a robust 30-watt speaker that's capable of projecting big sound without the fuss of dealing with wires. But this design also has its limitations: Since there's no integrated battery, the plug doesn't charge up the SoundFly. Subsequently, this speaker likely won't leave your home, making it a lousy travel or outdoors companion.

Though any music service will work on the SoundFly, JBL built a free app to adjust volume and tone, browse cover art and customize the speaker's digital signal processing to optimize audio.

Stylish, understated A-line bag

An incredibly simple and minimalist bag, Speck'sA-Line (beginning $59.95) is a terrific match for city dwellers. Though it sports a feminine and slender frame, the larger A-Line can hold a 13-inch MacBook, 10-inch iPad and additional accessories. A smaller version is designed to carry only the iPad.

The a-line construction is a wrap-around design that conceals a surprising amount of storage. The bag's front button opens up to reveal smartly placed panel pockets along the interior of the flap. The laptop compartment and a front pocket is lined with a lovely micro fleece material to protect gadgets. There's also a deep back pocket, great for holding books and papers. With the A-Line, Speck has designed a stylish and understated bag that packs plenty of utility.

Delta-like protein 4 (DLL4) is a type I membrane protein belonging to the Delta/Serrate/Lag2 (DSL) family of Notch ligands. Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that controls cell fate and is required in multiple developmental processes including vascular development, hematopoiesis, somatogenesis, myogenesis, and neurogenesis. Dysregulation in the Notch pathway is associated with various human diseases. In mammals, four Notch homologs (Notch 1 to 4) and five ligands (DLL 1, 3 and 4, Jagged 1 and 2) have been identified. Notch ligands are transmembrane proteins with a DSL motif necessary for Notch binding, tandem EGF repeats, a transmembrane region and a short intracellular domain (ICD). Notch ligands are categorized into two subfamilies based on the presence of an extracellular cysteinerich domain and insertions that interrupt some EGF repeats in the Jagged but not the Delta ligand family. Interactions of Notch receptors with their ligands results in reciprocal regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). RIP is a mechanism for transmembrane signal transduction that involves the sequential processing by a disintegrin metalloprotease (ADAM) and then by presenilin/gamma secretase, resulting in shedding of the extracellular domains and the generation of the soluble ICD signaling fragments, respectively. The Notch ICD translocates to the nucleus and interacts with transcriptional coactivators, resulting in the transcription of target genes. Human and mouse DLL4 share 86% aa sequence identity.

Saint Dorothy Day, pray for us

By Tom McGrath| comments | Print this pagePrint | Email this pageShare
Article Saints, Feasts, and Seasons Social Justice War and Peace

We need the example of this woman who tried to live the gospel in the modern world.

Dorothy Day Prayer CardImagine this: A grumpy associate pastor rushes into the sacristy to prepare for the early Mass. This guy loves liturgy but wonders why those little old ladies have to whisper their own prayers while he's presiding. He loves the majesty of Catholic teaching, yet refuses to answer the rectory door after 6 p.m. He gives avid assent to most papal teachings but votes for political candidates who love to rattle their sabers and threaten to "nuke our enemies back to the Stone Age." He always manages to look the other way when the surly head usher escorts unsightly and repugnant street people out the back door of church-"thank God!"-before the wedding party arrives.

And so he turns to the ordo, the book that tells him whose feast we are observing today. He wonders whose example of holiness we are called upon to celebrate and imitate and he reads-gasp!-Saint Dorothy Day.

I long for that day to become a reality for our church. I may be more like that fictional grumpy priest than I care to admit, and I need all the help I can get to change my ways. I am confident that Saint Dorothy Day could help.

In 1983 Father Henry Fehren wrote in Salt magazine (published, like this magazine, by Claretian Publications): "Certainly a saint for our time and place is Dorothy Day. Let's canonize her now."

Intervening years have further convinced me that we need this cofounder of the Catholic Worker movement in our calendar of saints. My colleagues and I were delighted when, shortly before his death, Cardinal John O'Connor announced that Day's cause had officially been opened in Rome.

The People of God can benefit from the example of her personal holiness. Steeped in prayer and the sacraments, she followed a lifelong spiritual path of conversion and devotion to Christ, whose face she found in the people she met on Mott Street. She approached her spiritual practices with a ravenous hunger that speaks to the broad spiritual hunger in our world. Hers was a tenacious spirituality-like grass that grows through cracks in a city sidewalk. It was both gloriously transcendent and yet decidedly incarnational.

We also need Dorothy's love of the poor. She took an idealist's passion for humanity and-following Saint Therese of Lisieux's Little Way-let it blossom into a tangible love for the poor people she met, one person at a time. Dorothy Day worked society's margins to bring those hanging perilously close to the edge into the center of our consciousness. She not only fed hungry people, she also condemned "this filthy, rotten system," the scandalous maldistribution of society's resources that produces their deprivation and misery. And she found the source of this truth not in Marx but in the gospel.

We need her example of radical commitment to gospel nonviolence. Our recent century, the bloodiest in history, should have convinced all civilized people of the folly of armed conflict as a way to solve our problems. Yet we continue to embrace this folly as the only available brand of wisdom. We have an opportunity to set another course, to hone other skills, to build better relationships, and to wean ourselves away from the false security provided by nuclear weapons-in other words: to study war no more. Will we have the courage? Will we summon the faith? Can we find the creativity necessary to even imagine such a future? Saint Dorothy Day can show us a way.

And we need Saint Dorothy Day to underscore that the real role of the laity is to be saints in the world right where we live. Bishops can make pronouncements, but it will take the laity to transform the world. Her example and influence can help us avoid getting absorbed in intramural squabbles with self preservation of the organization as our only goal. She can help us see that our mission is to create a banquet at which everyone will eat.

Some devotees have argued that Day would reject the notion of her canonization. She once said, "Don't call me a saint-I don't want to be dismissed that easily." Her biographer and friend Jim Forest responds, "This has to be understood in context. It irritated her that she was sometimes introduced to audiences as someone for whom walking on water would be no problem. Her reverence for saints was profound. She believed there was nothing more urgent than to try to be the saint God intended."

Day was also known to ask, "Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?"

I think it's clear that she-with courage, diligence, and grace-became an answer to her own most pertinent question.

Notes on the U.S. Constitution

This document contains my personal notes about certain portions of the United States Constitution. Areas of the Constitution that I needed clarification upon are included here, with my findings. Where ever necessary and proper, I have included the sources for what I discovered. Where there is no source, it is most likely that I interpreted the text myself, paying close attention to the text or looking up the meanings of certain words or phrases not in common usage or not common in today's vernacular.

You may wish to view the full U.S. Constitution, or see the Glossary, Popular Names Page, the Notes Page, or the Advanced Topics Page, as well.

Email the Webmaster if you have different interpretations of the text I touch upon. I may include a "dissenting opinion" section in the future.

These notes were written by the Webmaster, and you can view his credentials.

Article II, Section 1 and 12th Amendment — The Electoral College

The Electoral College is a peculiar American institution. When Americans vote for President and Vice-President, they do not actually vote for those people, but for electors. These electors meet in their state capitals after the general election and cast votes for President and votes for Vice-President. Though electors are pledged to the candidates of their party, there is nothing in the Constitution requiring them to so vote — and, in fact, every so often an elector defects from his party's candidates, though the effect on the election is usually nil. Some states have laws against electors casting such "faithless" votes, but it is unclear if anyone could actually be prosecuted under such laws, since the electors are protected by the Constitution (though not in so many words).

Jeff Greenfield, formerly of ABC News and now with CNN, wrote a very interesting, irreverent tale about the Electoral College, called The People's Choice. It can be found on the Constitutional Bookstore Page.

For more information, see the Electoral College Topic Page.

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Article III, Section 3 — Treason

The authors were concerned about the definition of treason. They thought that it was used too broadly to define any dissenting opinions. Their new country would be much stricter about what treason was, and how one would be accused and convicted of it.

Treason, then, is defined only as going to war against the USA, or aiding the enemies of the USA. To be convicted, the accused must confess to treason, or be accused by two direct witnesses of the treason.

The authors were also concerned that the person convicted of treason be the only one to suffer for the treasonous acts. The Constitution explicitly states that there may be no "corruption of blood," or that the children and relatives of the traitor not be considered traitorous simply by relation; the "no forfeiture" clause basically means that once the traitor dies, "payment" for the crime ends.

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Article V — Amendment

Note the following small detail: the President is not a part of the amendment process. So what difference does it make when the President says that he or she does not like a particular proposed amendment, and they will not support it? None. At least, not technically.

Now, obviously, the world is not sterile, particularly in Washington. When a President expresses reservations or dislike of an amendment or proposed amendment, it is obvious that any President worth electing knows darn well that the Executive has no veto over any amendment. The process is left completely in the hands of the Congress and/or the States. However, the President, as presumed head of a political party, has power over those in the same party - or, if not power, at least some influence.

Because two-thirds of both houses must pass an amendment, and two-thirds of both houses are required to overturn a presidential veto, the framers may have decided to leave the President out for the sake of brevity. However, since the arguments of the President for the veto could change some minds between the passage vote and the veto vote, it is more likely the Framers just felt that amendments were something best left to the states and the representatives of the states.

The Supreme Court did deal with this issue, following the ratification of the 11th Amendment. It was argued that the amendment was invalid because the amendment was not passed to the President prior to being passed on to the states. But in Hollingsworth v Virginia (3 USC 378 [1798]), the Court wrote (in a footnote): "The negative of the President applies only to the ordinary cases of legislation: He has nothing to do with the proposition, or adoption, of amendments to the Constitution."

More information on amending the Constitution is available.

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Only thirty-nine people signed the finished product of the Constitutional Convention. In all, seventy-four people were selected to attend the Convention, but only fifty-five actually attended. Some of these left before the Convention was complete, some for personal reasons, some to protest the Constitution. Others remained at the Convention until the end, but then refused to sign. The following is a list of those delegates who attended the Convention but who did not sign the Constitution, and the reason they did not sign:

  • Connecticut - Oliver Ellsworth (left early)
  • Georgia - William Houstoun (left early), William Pierce (left early)
  • Maryland - Luther Martin (left in protest), John Mercer (left in protest)
  • Massachusetts - Elbridge Gerry (refused to sign), Caleb Strong (left early)
  • New Jersey - William Houston (left early)
  • New York - John Lansing (left in protest), Robert Yates (left in protest)
  • North Carolina - William Davie (left early), Alexander Martin (left early)
  • Rhode Island - sent no delegates
  • Virginia - George Mason (refused to sign), James McClurg (left early), Edmund Randolph (refused to sign), George Wythe (left early)

The following are those who refused to attend or were unable to attend:

  • Connecticut - Erastus Wolcott
  • Georgia - Nathaniel Pendleton, George Walton
  • Maryland - Charles Caroll, Gabriel Duvall, Robert Hanson Harrison, Thomas Sire Lee, Thomas Stone
  • Massachusetts - Francis Dana
  • New Hampshire - John Pickering, Benjamin West
  • New Jersey - Abraham Clark, John Neilson
  • North Carolina - Richard Caswell, Willie Jones
  • South Carolina - Henry Laurens
  • Virginia - Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Nelson

It should be noted that John Dickinson is officially listed as a "signer," but he did not actually sign the Constitution. Dickinson fell ill during the convention and was unable to attend on the day of signing. He authorized George Read to sign for him by proxy.

Amendment 1 — Freedom of religion, speech, press

In my opinion, the First Amendment is the single most important part of the Constitution. It protects some of the most basic human rights and reflects a view of the dangerous places government might tread.

The ability to speak your mind is a right that Americans take for granted. Imagine being too frightened by the possible consequences of speaking out to actually do so. Your opinion would not matter — even your vote would be corrupted. Even as important is the right to petition your government — not only can you have an opinion about your government, the government must listen to you (though it need not heed you — but that's what elections are for).

Some of the first colonists of the nation for which the Constitution was written had been seeking to escape religious persecution. The constitutions of several of the states prohibited public support of religion (though some did explicitly support or demand adherence to Christianity). Above all, the many varying sects of Christianity in America required that to be fair to all, there could be preference to none. It would have been disgraceful for anyone to wish to leave the United States because of religious persecution. So the authors decided it best to keep the government out of religion. This is not to say that the United States was not or is not a religious nation. Religion plays a big role in the everyday life of Americans, then and now. But what the authors were striving for is tolerance... something I fear contemporary Americans are lacking.

As for the press, the authors regarded a free press as almost a fourth branch of government, constantly keeping tabs on the government's activities and actions. Though today's tabloid papers and television might give one pause, this kind of trash is a small price to pay to ensure that any news organization can rest assured that it can report freely on the activities of the government. Many other organizations in other nations have to worry about toeing the state's line or be shut down. How objective do you think a reporter can be when his life could be ended because of a critical story?

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Amendment 3 — Conditions for quarters for soldiers

According to the GPO, this is one of the least cited parts of the Constitution in federal case law. The only one the GPO does cite is an interesting case that is actually fairly recent (Engblom v. Carey [2nd Circuit Court]).

In 1982, a group of prison guards went on strike in New York. Some of these guards rented housing from the prison, in a building about a half mile from the prison. When the guards struck, the National Guard was activated by the Governor to take over for the guards. The quarters rented by the guards were used to house the soldiers. A pair of the prison guards sued the Governor and several other officials on the basis that the 3rd Amendment had been violated, and that they had been denied due process under the 14th Amendment. In state court, the claim was summarily dismissed.

On appeal and reappeal, the Circuit Court upheld the lower court's ruling, and found that the 3rd Amendment had not been violated for several reasons; primarily, they found that the rented apartments were not required to be used (unlike the apartment of, say, a building super), and that in no other way did the guards "own" the property the soldiers were housed in (this being a traditional test of whether someone's rights of property are being violated). On the question of due process, the Court had other opinions that you can research if you are interested.

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Amendment 10 — Powers of the States and People under Constitution

Note well this. Anything not expressly granted to the Federal government is reserved for the States or the People. Although this amendment is very liberally interpreted, it is one of the tenets of the Constitution. This amendment is also known as the States' Rights Amendment.

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Amendment 11 — Judicial Powers construed.

This Amendment was designed to prevent a citizen of one state from bringing suit against another state in federal court, modifying Article 3, Section 2, Clause 1. Over time, it has also been construed to prevent citizens of a state from bringing their own state to federal court. 11th Amendment law is in a resurgence in the 1990's as several Supreme Court cases make their mark (see the Current News Page).

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Amendment 14 — Due Process

This is one of the most used (and, perhaps, misused) parts of the Constitution. It came out of the Civil War. Basically, it says that all men 21 or older will be counted to determine representation in Congress, with a reduction in that count for anyone not allowed to vote; that no one in the Confederate government (or any future government of insurrection) may be members of the U.S. government (unless approved by a two-thirds vote); and that all debts incurred by the U.S. to fight the Confederacy are to be paid, but none of those incurred by the Confederacy would be.

It also states that no State shall make any law abridging the rights of any of its citizens without due process of law. The 14th Amendment is important, but the first clause is the most important. Prior to the 14th, states were free to ignore the Bill of Rights; a series of Supreme Court rulings made it clear that the Bill was to apply to acts of the Federal Government only. With the establishment of the 14th, the Bill, or at least parts of it, is made to apply to state law, too. This clause has resulted in some good law, such as the Voting Rights Act. But States' Rights proponents are opposed to the Amendment in parts and/or as a whole.

The Supreme Court, at first, did not allow the Due Process clause to be used to expand individual liberties (1870's and 1880's). Eventually, though, it was used to protect more than just former slaves. In the 1900's and 1930's, it extended the clause to the protection of workers against state regulations, allowing national standards for work conditions and minimum wage to be set. The due process clause has been used to extend most Bill of Rights Amendments to some extent, and is the basis for the "Right to Privacy" extended in the infamous Roe v Wade decision. For a discussion, see this document.

My opinion? Well, the Supreme Court, in the end, is the legal arbiter of Constitutional interpretation. What they say goes. In my research, I found some cases that I agreed with and some that I did not. In general, however, I can say that I feel that as long as those rights don't impinge on another individual's rights, the rights of the individual must outweigh those of the state, and the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment guarantees that.

Note: some have tried to argue that because of the representation reduction clause and the implications on States' Rights, that the 14th Amendment is unconstitutional. However, since it is an amendment to the Constitution, it cannot possibly be unconstitutional. Some argue that it was passed in an unconstitutional way, which is an interesting and plausible argument. The fact remains, however, that it is a part of our Constitution, and deserves as much respect as any other part, unless it is at some point repealed.

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Amendment 16 — Income taxes authorized

On April 13, 2000, the organization We the People Foundation for Constitutional Education, Inc. sent delegates to the U.S. capital to present evidence that the 16th Amendment was not properly ratified. The evidence that We the People presented is available on their web site — this site will post updates when available.

Cecil, of the newspaper/online column called The Straight Dope, has done some research into some of the claims that the 16th was not properly ratified. His columns are online.

A very well-researched and literate "tax protester" FAQ has been published on the net. A good read for anyone contemplating a challenge to the income tax. There is also an organization called "Quatloos" that aims to expose all tax evasion scams (and there are quite a number of them). Visit them for more information.

Go to this point in the Constitution.

Amendment 25 — Presidential Disability

An interesting movie was made based on this amendment. Look for The Enemy Within with Forest Whitaker, Sam Waterston, and Jason Robards. It was a remake of 7 Days in May, which was made in 1964, before this amendment was passed. More recently, the 25th Amendment has gotten the attention of Hollywood writers. In the film Air Force One, the President's aircraft is hijacked and the Vice President is urged to declare the President incapacitated, though she ultimately resists the urging. In the world of television, 24 and The West Wing featured the 25th Amendment. In 24 the President refuses to attack three Middle Eastern countries that appear to have backed a terrorist nuclear explosion on U.S. soil. The Vice President assembles the Cabinet which narrowly votes to remove the President. In The West Wing, the President removes himself following the kidnaping of his daughter, fearing that he cannot make rational decisions about the response while he is more concerned with his role as a father.

Thoughts From a Cold Shed

by Dave Stevenson

I am not alone amongst you I am sure on dark starlit nights in taking refuge under a garage roof scintillating with hoarfrost.  Scraping or sawing or sanding, hung about with trembling veils of your own steaming breath, there come those more abstruse musings, as the poet Coleridge said, most suited to solitude.

Can the Cyclemotor Possess Style?

From the earliest glass-plate negative photos of moustachioed gents posed on wood blocks to appear as if they were racing their single speed veterans down unsurfaced English lanes, to the most recent images of Fireblade mounted yuppies in Technicolor leather overalls honing their kneecaps on Swiss mountain passes, two-wheeled motorised transport has always conferred a certain style on those who ride it.  As in the Rugby Club changing room, 'big' has always carried more kudos than 'small' but some fairly low powered machines, scooters for instance, have always been associated with style.  Style in this case comes in two forms.  Firstly there is the actual appearance of the machine and secondly there is the question of what it does to your image when you are 'wearing' it.

So, can the cyclemotor have style?  The thirties, which produced the cyclemotor in Britain, was a grim and drab decade, but it had its own definite style.  In motor transport the use of streamlining, or at least the forms and shapes associated with streamlining, produced some notably stylish vehicles.  The autocycle, on the other hand, was a utility vehicle in which function determined form.  Not that this always produced uncharismatic style.  The Spitfire, one of the most beautiful aeroplanes ever built, was a desperately functional product of that decade.  It is however a dedicated enthusiast who can find the autocycle beautiful.  The heavyweight bicycle frame, the low mounted fuel tank to facilitate ease of mounting, the sober colouring and the anachronistic use of such features as inverted levers gave the machines an unadorned, dour look.  Dubbed "Wilfreds" by the motor cycle press of the time, the autocycle's image was of a homely quaintness without pretension to style.  All very different from, say, French lightweights of the 1920s which, with torpedo tanks gracing the top tubes of proper gent's bicycle frames, have a racy look which belies their 100cc engines.  As prosperity increased after the war, autocycles did indeed become adorned with side panels, toolboxes and other features.  Some, like the two-speed Excelsiors with their round tanks and curved panels, achieved a definite and satisfying 'look'.  Others, and I am going to be very disloyal here, like the Bown, to which were screwed two of the ugliest lumps of sheet metal ever to disgrace a motor cycle, heaped functionality upon functionality and successfully removed all trace of the natural gracefulness that the triangulated bicycle frame possesses.

Can the true cyclemotor then, the clip-on, have style?  With the loss of such integrity as the autocycle, designed in one lump even if as an assembly of bought in parts, possessed, the omens were not promising.  Painted a different colour from the bicycle and often bolted on in such a way as to destroy the satisfyingly geometric design of the original human-powered machine, the engine unit often worsens the appearance of the bicycle.  The attractiveness of the engine units themselves varies considerably.  Looking through the Pitman Book of the Cyclemotor, no one will ever convince me that the ABJ Auto-Minor with its upright oblong tank and its sheet metal cover "with rather the effect of a roll-top desk" was a thing of beauty.  And they certainly can't have been a joy for ever because I've never seen one.  On the other hand any motor which was designed to hang under the pedal bracket looks like it was meant to be there and the designs which put the motor within the back wheel were also very neat.  The Berini egg is satisfying but the Cyclaid has a Heath Robinson look about it, which suggests that with a different attachment it might make porridge or butter toast for the rider's breakfast.  And what do they do for you when you 'wear' one?  Well let's just say that despite the pictures of Bridgette Bardot on a VéloSoleX and leggy lovelies on their Ariel Threes, if you really were looking to project a highly charged sexual image you probably shouldn't have bought a Cyclemaster.  The quaintness and make-do and mend nature of the bikes unavoidably throws a question into the mind of the onlooker.  Why on earth is he/she riding that?  Equally unavoidably the way that the rider dresses will be almost unconsciously assimilated by the spectator into an answer to that question.  There are various options.

One of our local members, Frank Livesey, wears what I consider to be just about the perfect answer.  He has a long brown gaberdine mac of greatcoat length topped by a stylish silver pudding basin helmet and when on the Francis Barnett autocycle he becomes part of it and its era.  Not surprisingly, this answer is favoured by a number of our more style-conscious continental cousins and pictures of the annual event at Montlhéry in the motor cycle press often feature riders in period costume.  There are difficulties.  Even before I purchased the appropriate costume, I should require a shave and a haircut to look anything like someone from the forties or fifties.  Classic motor cycle clothing, leather jacket and boots, tends to emphasise the smallness of the machines and is far too hot for any serious pedalling.  Modern cycle wear on the other hand looks incongruous and tends to emphasise how old fashioned the sit-up and beg bike has become in the sportswear culture of the moment.

Some riders opt for normal day clothes that focus attention on the bike but flatten out its characteristics.  Others grab the challenge with both hands, "Yes, I am as barmy as I look".  I am sure Derek Langdon won't mind me mentioning the fact that for a number of years he rode around with an arrow sticking out of his crash helmet...  There are more subtle ways to hint at a conscious eccentricity and the most favoured is the 'unusual' period accessory.  Deerstalker crash helmets and pipes were much favoured amongst the VMCC Cyclemotor section in years gone by.  The Jungfrau Run of 1987 organised by a mysterious Dr Moriarty appears to have put paid to the fashion.  In my observation it was always a Southerners thing anyway, officers and gentlemen and so forth.  From my exile I can report that there is a Northern equivalent.  Mr Eddie Two-Wheels regularly sports a wonderful revolving visor on his helmet and his butcher's bike carries in its open basket a string of sausages made from an old red inner tube.  So, before my feet lose all sense of feeling and my fingers begin to stick to the icy cold file in this freezing cold shed, the answer to my question is: If you are concerned with the aesthetics of the machine then you need to be looking at the purpose-built mopeds of the late fifties when, influenced by scooter practice, firms began seriously to think about the design of lightweight motor cycles.  If we mean by style what might more properly be termed 'image', then even the ugliest cyclemotors have bags of potential but what you add to the machine in terms of accessories and what you wear when riding it will be as important as the bike itself.  So when you go back up to the house you have a simple choice.  You can stop worrying your little head about all this nonsense and get into bed with a nice warm cup of cocoa, or start to plan a hectic schedule of visits to Oxfam and the autojumbles; there to ask yourself the only really important question: "Will my bum look too big in this?"

Novice Pairs Provide Clean Start to 2005 State Farm U.S. Championships

by Amy Partain

Novice Pairs Short Program Results

Novice Pairs Short Program Photos

All Event Results and Photos

(1/9/05) - Clean best describes the novice pairs event at the 2005 State Farm U.S. Figure Skating Championships. All 12 pairs skated short programs on Sunday without major errors.

In their first trip to the U.S. Championships, Claire Davis (Colorado SC) and Nathan Miller (Broadmoor SC) are in first place, thanks to well-executed elements including their double twist and side-by-side double loops in their program to "Moonlight Sonata."

Davis said they are excited to be in first place going into the free skate, and admitted that the first event can be a little intimidating. While they have experience competing at the U.S. Junior Championships, Miller said that experience was like a baby step.

"I get goose bumps every time I walk the halls," he said. "I'm so excited and the adrenaline is pumping. It's awesome."

Sitting in second place after the short program are Molly Aaron (Coyotes SC of Arizona) and Taylor Toth (Pittsburgh FSC), who have both been to the U.S. Championships before but with other partners.

They were pleased with their solid program skated to "Tico, Tico," which had a lot of speed. Toth said they accomplished their goal of skating with determination.

"This event can be nerve wracking at first," he said. "But this is a really fun program and that helped take the edge off. We're both outgoing so it suits us well."

Lisa Moore (ISC of Fort Collins) and Nicholas Girardi (ISC of Fort Collins) are in third. Skating to music from "Cinderella" Moore and Girardi said they were relaxed, which helped them perform so well.

Their short program was originally an ice show number that received so many positive comments their coach Heidi Thibert decided to turn it into a short program.

While they were pleased with their performance, Girardi said there are always things that can be done better.

"There's always room for improvement," he said. "You can always skate faster or have better extensions."

Phone: (650) 329-4014

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The sand dunes among which Navajos have eked out austere livings for generations are growing fast and becoming mobile as the climate changes, says U.S. Geological Survey geologist Dr. Margaret Hiza Redsteer, whose interviews with elders and historical research augment her decade-long research on Navajo Nation land.

Redsteer will discuss her work Friday, Oct. 21 at the annual conference of the Society of Environmental Journalists in Miami, as part of a panel on "Climate Change and Indigenous Peoples on the Frontlines."

One third of the Navajo Nation is sand dunes, much of it stabilized to varying degrees by vegetation that holds moisture and provides livestock range. Some of the dunes are very old; others date from the 1950s, when drought and wind mobilized sediment from floods on the Little Colorado River. Now, after severe drought has gripped the region with varying but persistent severity from 1996 to 2011, new dunes are increasing in number and previously inactive dunes are on the move. The new dunes form downwind from rivers and washes, largely from dry, wind-blown river sediment. In the Grand Falls area of the southwest Navajo Nation, dunes have grown 70 percent since 1995 and are moving northeast at a rate of 115 feet per year.

Dune mobility can threaten roads and buildings, as well as the livestock raising vital to the Navajo economy and indispensable to its culture. It is one of many signs of the region’s increased aridity. Redsteer and the USGS Navajo Land Use Planning Project, under license to and in collaboration with the Navajo Nation, are mapping the area’s geology and documenting its changes to help Navajo leaders plan for the challenge.

In addition to using ground-based lidar measurements, meteorological monitoring, GPS and aerial and satellite imaging, Redsteer drew on more than 70 elders living in the southwestern Navajo Nation to record observed changes in land use practices, as well as weather, vegetation, location of water sources and the frequency of wind and dust storms. The interviews helped corroborate USGS science.

"Old men told me that they had seen grass grow in areas where no grass grows now," Redsteer said.

"We have aerial photographic surveys of the study area from 1934 and from 1954, but between those years there were big changes. Our interviewing not only provides another line of evidence, but it also fills in a lot of the data gaps."

Redsteer’s work also points up the vulnerability of indigenous people who live on land she calls "just on the edge of being habitable.

"The annual moisture here has historically been just enough to get by. When there is even a small change, there is a huge effect," she said.

John Leeper, director of the Navajo Water Management Branch of the Navajo Nation in Fort Defiance, Ariz., called Redsteer’s work "critical in understanding the magnitude of the climate challenges facing the Navajo Nation due to sand dune movement and other impacts. If the current trends she identifies continue, much of the Navajo Nation will be severely impacted, and much of the Navajo Nation will become uninhabitable," Leeper said.

"The Navajo Nation is intended to be a permanent homeland for the Navajo people," he said. "However, much of that homeland may be in jeopardy if these trends can not be　successfully mitigated. Not only has Margaret’s work identified and documented the current trends, her work also gives us　perspective on the steps that can, and must, be taken to reverse many of the most damaging of these trends. Her work will　help to ensure that the Navajo people will be able to find their livelihoods here long into the future."

As part of their work, Redsteer and the USGS have conducted pilot studies of mitigations to dune movement, such as placing 2m by 2m PLA sand barriers to stabilize dunes and seeding dune areas to encourage vegetation.

"If we’re going to do research for people’s benefit, we have to try to see what kind of solutions there are," she said.

Redsteer’s research in the Great Falls dune area is described in the USGS fact sheet "Monitoring and Analysis of Sand Dune Movement and Growth on the Navajo Nation," available online at

VA Seeks to Increase Low Hepatitis C Treatment Rate for HIV Positive Patients

By Annette M. Boyle

LOS ANGELES – Nearly 40% of veterans receiving antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection also have hepatitis C virus (HCV), yet many of them never are treated for the underlying condition.

Patients often are considered ineligible because of concerns that HCV therapy could worsen psychiatric conditions or that the difficulty of the additional drug regimen would lead to non-adherence, according to a recent study that looked at HCV treatment at three HIV clinics in Los Angeles, including a VA facility.

In fact, providers consider only 30% of dual-infected patients eligible for HCV treatment and just 10% of patients actually undergo treatment, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care.1

Yet, as life expectancy for HIV-positive patients has increased, HCV-related liver failure has emerged as a leading cause of death among co-infected patients — in one study of co-infected VA patients in Houston, accounting for 47% of deaths.2

In the Los Angeles study, researchers conducted cross-sectional surveys of 14 primary care providers and 173 HCV co-infected patients at the Greater Los Angeles VAMC and two other Los Angeles HIV clinics. The VA had offered treatment to 66% of co-infected survey participants, more than twice the national average but less than the 85% and 77% of participants offered treatment at the other two clinics.

While the VA’s Management and Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in HIV-Infected Adults guideline advises that “all patients infected with HCV be considered for treatment, including those who are also co-infected with HIV,” researchers found that, in practice, both patient and physician characteristics factored into the decision to recommend HCV treatment.3

Despite some evidence that patients struggling with substance abuse issues or depression can successfully undertake the HCV course of therapy, physicians often consider these patients ineligible, fearing treatment “may lead to psychiatric deterioration, relapse into substance abuse, and treatment non-adherence and discontinuation,” noted the researchers.

Depression is Treatment Issue

In this study, recommendation of HCV treatment correlated specifically with depression treatment status for current depression.

“Past history of depression, or current depression that was being managed with treatment, was not the limiting factor to being recommended treatment, which is consistent with data suggestion that such factors are not necessarily impediments to HCV treatment response,” wrote the authors.

“Depression is a very common comorbidity in this population. It affects over 50% of patients with HIV and even more of those who also have HCV,” said Maggie Czarnogorski, MD, deputy director of the VA’s HIV, Hepatitis and Public Health Pathogens Programs. “The HCV regimens are not easy to take and they can exacerbate depression, suppress appetite and generally affect mood, which makes them challenging for those with mental health issues.”

Rather than eliminate depressed patients from consideration for treatment, however, the VA recommends working with patients to improve their baseline mental health status and supporting them through the treatment.

“We really advocate for hepatologists to work closely with HIV patients to optimize their mental health before they start treatment. In addition, we’ve been piloting integrating psychologists in hepatology clinics. Currently, four VAMC’s have post-doctoral fellows in psychology” to address these issues, Czarnogorski told U.S. Medicine.

Patients in the study with a CD4 count above 200 and with a low HIV viral load were more likely to have been offered HCV treatment. Physicians may recommend treatment to this subpopulation more because pegylated-interferon and ribavirin, used to treat HCV, can temporarily reduce CD4 counts, making patients more vulnerable to other infections. Higher levels of CD4 can been beneficial in preventing that.

Czarnogorski noted that “research shows that co-infected patients have a lower response to treatment for hepatitis C, overall. They have the best response if HIV is stable and virally suppressed.”

In the study, some physicians considered patients with very low CD4 levels eligible for treatment, although, consistent with clinical trials conducted by the Hepatitis Research Network, few patients with CD4 levels below 100 usually are offered treatment.

While dual-infected patients can be treated when HIV is more advanced, they typically do better when treated earlier, said Czarnogorski, making prompt identification of both infections critical.

“We’ve really promoted routine screening for HIV. Everyone with HIV should be screened for HCV, as well. Once a patient is identified with both infections, it is very important to start ART right away and for the providers treating HIV and HCV to work together to coordinate treatment efforts,” she said.

Final ResultsGet Acrobat Reader

NATCHITOCHES, La. - Junior pole vaulter Jeff Rodriguez broke a 34-year-old meet record to highlight the day for UT Arlington at the Leon Johnson Northwestern State Invitational Friday.

Rodriguez cleared the bar at 17-feet, 6 ½ inches to eclipse a mark that was established in 1978. His clearance was just 1 ½ inches shy of his school record in the event. That proved to be one of four wins for the UTA men, while the women added one individual victory as well.

The Mavericks went 1-2 in the men's 800 meters, as Anthony Hilliman (1:54.18) nipped teammate Anthony Rene (1:54.31) at the line. The other victory on the track came courtesy of Hance Loyd, who posted a time f 9:38.63 in the 3000-meter steeplechase.

Meanwhile, in the high jump, Kemarki Absalom topped the charts with a mark of 6-04.75.

On the women's side, Ashly Wright took home the title in the 800 meters with a clocking of 2:14.08. She also was on the 4x400 relay squad (with Breonna Baldwin, Courtney Blacknall, and Jennifer Bassett) that grabbed a runner-up finish in 3:51.82.

In the field events, the Mavs had a pair of 2-3 finishes. Julianne Burch (12-03.50) and Sammy Nash (11-09.75) were strong in the pole vault, while Shae Johnson (37-10.75) and Eld-hah Kaswatuka (37-09.25) medaled in the triple jump.

Samantha Little also had a strong effort in the discus with a toss of 141-feet, 8 inches to place third.

Back on the track, UTA had runner-up finishes in the 400 meters with Courtney Blacknall (57.64) and in the 1500 meters from Hannah Nilsson (4:41.85). Kailey Bostic snagged third place in the 200 meters with a time of 24.91.

UTA returns to action next Saturday at the Texas Invitational in Austin.
