Anybody at all think that AMNESTY will be granted this year?

latest news uscis image

S

Is there any hope at all that amnesty could be granted to those who needs there status changed but is having a hard time doing so because of the $$ costs??
whats a fee waiver?

Answer
For those that qualify for amnesty it would be a good thing for them, for those that do not meet requirements or come after the yet voted DREAM act, it's passing would mean little to them and change nothing to stop the flow of future illegal immigrants.

Frank Capoano seems to be torn between saying yea or nay on the DREAM Act passing. (in part)

"Will the dream act pass after thanksgiving?? NO RACIST COMMENTS FROM IDIOTS?"

"Surprisingly, it has a higher chance than I expected:

Using an algorithm that takes into account past votes, public statements, looming reelection bids and human intelligence, the WhipCast by the Davis Intelligence Group found a 33% chance that cloture would pass."

Yet his answer in this post suggests that United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) raising it's fees is now enough for him to say a solid "no" when compared to the "algorithm" used by the Davis Intelligence Group.

"All this adds up to a pretty daunting challenge for advocates of the bill. Supposing they can pick up several Republican votes, there are nine Democratic senators with ample cause to bolt.
Using an algorithm "......

"Adjusted Fees Take Effect Nov. 23, Along with New and Revised Forms Introduction"

"After publishing a final fee rule in the Federal Register on Sept. 24, 2010, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin collecting adjusted fees for immigration applications and petitions on Nov. 23, 2010. The final fee rule followed a period of public comment on a proposed version of the rule. After encouraging stakeholders to share their input, USCIS considered all 225 comments received. The final rule will increase overall fees by a weighted average of about 10 percent, but will not increase the fee on naturalization applications. The rule will also reduce fees for six individual applications and petitions and will expand the availability of fee waivers to new categories.
For complete information about the final fee rule, please see the Fact Sheet and Q&A released in September when the final rule was published.".......

Why were warnings about the Boston terrorists ignored?

latest news tsarnaev image

Josh

Two top Republican senators are calling for a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on the Boston Marathon bombings last week, as lawmakers question whether enough was done to prevent the attack.
Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, requested the hearing Wednesday, saying "it has become increasingly apparent that more questions need to be answered regarding the failure to prevent this tragedy."
The senators cite a report by Fox News and others that Russian officials contacted the U.S. government at least twice in 2011 with concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the Chechen who two years later would carry out last week's deadly bombing of the Boston Marathon, as an example of an instance that merits further investigation.
"In a string of apparent intelligence-sharing lapses, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was able to slip through the cracks and carry out this devastating attack," the senators said.
Sources say the Russians contacted the FBI once in March 2011, and several months later they contacted the CIA about Tsarnaev. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/24/russian-officials-contacted-us-twice-in-2011-about-tamerlan-tsarnaev-sources/

Answer
Obama refuses to believe that any muslim could be a terrorist. or he is so worried about being politically correct that he is willing to get Americans killed to avoid hurting some muslims feelings.

Please note that the libs cannot defend Obama so they bring up Bush and 9/11.

Edit: Like the user right above me. Guees he forgot that the bill to expand background checks AND the bill to ban assault weapons both died in the Senate. Thus..............Freedom won and his side lost. Whoo Hoo!

How is my writing???????????

anp_15

This is a current event I'm writing for class. I'm in 9th grade. What do you think of it??? It's supposed to just be a short news story. I want to make sure I did this event justice, but i still need to write it like it would be in a newspaper.

On April 15th, two explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three people and wounded dozens, 134 to be exact. Shattered glass was everywhere, blood splattered the concrete, and people's lost limbs were scattered all over. The blasts were about 10 seconds apart and 100 yards from each other. Many spectators of the race were knocked over, some runners included. Medics were called onto the scene immediately. No end to the masses of wounded people. One spectator said, "They just kept filling up with more and more casualties. Most everybody was conscious." And runner Tim Davey and his wife tried to shield their children's eyes from the gruesome scene. Although, "they still saw a lot" he said.


The FBI received no intelligence of the explosion beforehand. It was completely unprecedented. Investigation after the bombing revealed, through a surveillance tape, suspect number 2, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a follower of radical Islam, was believed to be in on the plot as well. The following day, the two suspects carjacked a man and then released him, resulting in open fire with the police. The eldest brother, Tamerlan, died. One down, one to go. But with suspect number 1 still on the loose, police ordered a lockdown on all the suburbs he was believed to be in. No one was allowed out of their homes. Later, a resident in Watertown, a suburb of Boston, found Dzhokhar hidden in his boat. He was wounded and bleeding. He is now hospitalized; in serious, but stable condition.


After the death of suspect 1 and the capture of the other, people cheered, applauded, thanked the police, and set off fireworks. Some even wrapped themselves in American flags. Following was a moment of silence to commemorate the victims of this horrible tragedy. So many people were affected, wether physically or emotionally. This event will never be forgotten, nor the people who were affected.

Answer
Actually, this is terrible.

It would take me over an hour to explain why and give you suggestions on what to change but here's a start:

- April 15th: Leave the "th" off. It is unnecessary.
- "...killed three people and wounded dozens, 134 to be exact." No. Just...no. You can simply write "...killed three people and wounded 134."
- "It was completely unprecedented." You need to look up the definition of "unprecedented."
- "Although, "they still saw a lot" he said." This does not need to be directly quoted. You can get away with saying he witnessed a lot or saw a lot.
- "He is now hospitalized; in serious, but stable condition." Remove the semicolon.
- "One down, one to go." This is unnecessary and could possibly indicate bias. You need to remain objective in a news article.
- "But with suspect number 1 still on the loose..." First of all, "suspect number 1" is wrong. The older brother was the first suspect. Secondly, you need to write out the numbers. Say "the first suspect" or "the second suspect" but don't refer to them as "number 1" or "number 2." They are people, not numbers.

Start with these and work on it from there.

Answer
Just buy a few local gossip magazines and tabloids and I expect you'll find a number of clubs and parties where you can stalk any celebrity you want and do the creep.

Okay so i need a good storyline any ideas?

Cmoore : )

I need a good storyline for my coursework..
Can be based on anything really
Has to be quite long though
Thanks for the help : )

Answer
i find writing stories quite easy. my advice would be to base it on something you really enjoy yourself.. such as : fashion, sport, television.

then narrow that down a little to maybe: fashion designer, basketball, celebrity gossip.

add in some fantasy characters or base them on people you know, and hay presto, you have half a plot for a storyline.

i did one once that was about a woman (who was just like me) who was a fashion designer in london trying to cope with the upcoming fashion week, and crazy funny stuff happend.

you can have so much fun, just try it that way.

good luck xx

What's the latest on Kobe?

latest news kobe bryant image

Q. Does anyone know the latest on Kobe Bryant? I haven't heard anything about him in the news lately. Are the Lakers still wanting to trade him?

Answer
The latest on Kobe:
He's the best player in the NBA.

Would this be a mistake TEAM USA goes with only 3 big men leaving Tyson Chandler off the team?

Q. Latest news being reported by ESPNS' Dan Sheriden is Tyson Chandler will not make the final roster and instead the 12th spot will go to Tayshuan Prince. This would mean the team goes with only 3 true PF'S and Centers Dwight Howard, Carlos Boozer and Chris Bosh.

Rest of team will be Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Michael Redd.

Cartoons? There's our Teletoon and the Canadian version of America's Cartoon Network:
Link - http://www.teletoon.com/en/
Link - http://origin-www.cartoonnetwork.ca/
And since Canada gets US and foreign networks simulcast alongside our own channels, we also get everything international that's worth watching too.

Sports? We invented hockey and it's a year-round national obsession for many Canadians.
(Oddly enough, we invented basketball too but it never got as popular here as it is in the USA.)
We also have all the other major league sports: Baseball, basketball, football, soccer, etc.

Food? Only Americans are nuts enough to eat raccoon. Few Canadians eat wild game anyhow, despite us having so much wildlife running around loose in this country.
Most folks would rather order a pizza, grab a sub from Subway or Quizno's or go to McDonalds.

Canada has four seasons. Winter is only one of them. And yes, it gets cold in winter. Very.
So that's the bad news. The good news is that summers are mostly hot and quite humid across much of Canada.
Even up in the Canadian Arctic the snow melts and wildflowers bloom.

Get around in cities? The same way everyone else does in cities worldwide.
People drive their own vehicles or carpool. Those who don't take taxis or public transit.
Others walk or ride bikes. And in some places in winter, people ride snowmobiles to get around.

She begins with a disclaimer. ''I usually don't look like such a skank,'' Kristen Stewart says, fanning out 10 dirt-caked fingernails. Fresh off her star turn as innocent, lovestruck Bella Swan in Twilight, the 18-year-old actress â best known as the hippie chick in Sean Penn's Into the Wild â is researching a very different movie role at the moment, that of a young stripper. She's been spending time at a run-down strip club in New Orleans' French Quarter called Dixie Divas, taking in the show and learning how to gyrate around a pole, though she doesn't shed many layers. ''I danced on the bar there three nights this week, and my legs are covered in bruises,'' Stewart says proudly. ''Hopefully, the Twilight fans won't totally freak out.''

Stewart has every right to be concerned. Ever since Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series of supernatural romance novels spawned a nation of Twilighters, millions of girls (and their moms) have followed the first book's journey to the screen. Casting the schoolgirl was every bit as perilous as ca

Why are people more obsessed with Facebook than they were Myspace?

popular newscasters image

Female

I have noticed that back when Myspace was popular people used it for a while, logged off, and lived life. Facebook seems to be another story. It's like they can't put it away. Even newscasters, celebrities, and some people in congress have to talk about it or tell the viewers to follow/like them. I know companies use it to sell a product, but seriously. I created a Facebook just to see what it was all about, now I only use it for games. I ignore all of the nonstop posts from friends, because half of them are just stupid. Back when I deactivated my account for a while then came back, my friends were in a panic. They thought something bad happened to me, or I got banned from the site. I thought "Seriously? Wow." I think there might be a problem going on but I'm not entirely sure. I like human contact in real life, I will text someone about an event but that's it. I call for a real conversation. Facebook to me is just another website, it's not my whole life. But apparently leaving it is scary to my friends...strange I know. So, why is Facebook like an addiction to some people?
@CHЯISTIA... I'm 23 years old.

Answer
I think it is a social anxiety issue and people are more comfortable communicating through a proxy.. They compose 2 page replies or text messages but in person they cant hold a 5 minute conversation. Its the same with voting, they dont want to deal with the pressure or responsibility of their own actions

Would you just ignore someone crying about a baby having a seizure?

Stuey

I left a voice message for childhood friend, someone I've know for many, many years two days ago regarding my grandchild having a seizure due to her temperature rising so quickly. I also told her as I was crying in the message my granddaughter has pneumonia. I'm shocked she never called me back, or even at least sent me a text regarding it. She instead sent me a video of her granddaughter riding on a ride & some other pictures. Not one word about my granddaughter & how she even is doing.

I would never treat someone like this even if they weren't a friend. I don't even think this woman realizes what's she's done. It's actually scary how some people can be. She herself has had several tragedies in her family, & I responded right away & also kept inquiring how they were. I guess it's a one way street with her. I should really just stop talking to her, but I've known her all my life. Do you think I should say anything to her about this, I personally feel it wouldn't do any good, so I'm just not responding to her pictures which are meaningless right now to me? What would you do, and what do you think about someone who would do this?? I know this for sure now though, I will never tell her anything that is going on in my life especially if it's something bad. She seems the type to freak out over tragedies, she won't even watch the news and never knows what's going on no matter how bad it is. I stopped being her newscaster long ago because I think it's insane to not at least keep up on world events to some degree.

Answer
I think it's weird that her only response was to send you a video of her granddaughter. I don't think we're getting the whole story here. Being angry at/offended by someone for not reacting to something the way you wanted them to react is selfish. It's also setting you up for a lifetime of grievances.

Ps. The standard and popular media nowadays is propaganda and filled with lies and half truths.

Has anything Barack Obama done made republicans happy?

latest news 787 image

Q. and if so what exactly?

Answer
Interestingly enough, those of us in the know politically speaking have learned to measure the TREMENDOUS SUCCESS of President Obama's policies by how really really prissed off the right-wing Republicans are...lol.

And one might also take the viewpoint that Republicans are happiest when they can be prissed off at Democrats...this is their main goal in life, these days...attack any Democratic successes and then later try to take credit for those very successes without alerting the public that this is your plan.

Case in point: Nary a Republican voted for the Recovery and Reinvestment Act (a.k.a., "stimulus") in 2009, and they used their well-embedded Washington D.C. Hill & Knowlton PR firm and their spin doctors (Faux "news" and Frank Luntz, for example) to convince the voting public that this $787 billion stimulus was "evil" and "added to the deficit"---the deficit, I might add, that the REPUBLICANS CREATED after inheriting a surplus from President Clinton, someone whose successes in spite of the GOP also angered the GOP...lol. Despite trying to block the stimulus from even passing, these same right-wing hypcrites RUSHED HOME to be on hand for the PHOTO OP in the media when the checks in their various districts were distributed, touting these dollars as "job creating"---something in D.C. they deny.

There's a really interesting website, if you can locate it, where someone has set up a whole slew of achievements by this young administration (less than two years old), that uses the probably GOP response of "F... that. What else?" on every single amazing and historical accomplishment! If you can find that site, it is well worth a read...and pretty much accurately sums up the Party of No's reaction to all things Democrat and all things Obama---even when those things they oppose are perfect for healing this nation's Republican-caused wounds.

How is the Gettysburg Address still important to us today?

popular us newspaper image

Unknown

Okay, How is the gettysburg address still important to us today? How did it apply to us?

Answer
â¥Hear it goes

The Gettysburg Address is a speech by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and one of the most quoted speeches in United States history. It was delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, during the American Civil War, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the decisive Battle of Gettysburg.

Abraham Lincoln's carefully crafted address, secondary to other presentations that day, came to be regarded as one of the greatest speeches in American history. In just over two minutes, Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union, but as "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens, and that would also create a unified nation in which states' rights were no longer dominant.

Beginning with the now-iconic phrase "Four score and seven years ago...", Lincoln referred to the events of the Civil War and described the ceremony at Gettysburg as an opportunity not only to consecrate the grounds of a cemetery, but also to dedicate the living to the struggle to ensure that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth".
The only confirmed photo of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg (seated), taken about noon, just after Lincoln arrived and some three hours before he spoke. To Lincoln's right is his bodyguard, Ward Hill Lamon.

Despite the speech's prominent place in the history and popular culture of the United States, the exact wording of the speech is disputed. The five known manuscripts of the Gettysburg Address differ in a number of details and also differ from contemporary newspaper reprints of the speech.

What is the best (quickest) way to send a package to a US soldier in Iraq?

PuffsJacki

I want to send a package to a friend in Iraq (US soldier). I want to know what method is best. Any other information from someone who's done this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
Certain conditions and restrictions apply when mailing items to military and civilian personnel deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Middle East and Persian Gulf areas.

Programs that allowed the general public to send mail addressed to "Any Service Member" were cancelled more than a year ago by the Department of Defense's (DoD). While popular with the public during Desert Storm and other operations, DoD's concern with security and transportation constraints led to canceling this program. The DoD recommends that individuals and organizations wishing to mail letters and care packages to individual servicemembers overseas refocus their activities into supporting the servicemember's family members at home.

The DoD recommends visiting www.defendamerica.mil and clicking the "Support Our Troops" icon as a means for the public to find out ways to support servicemembers.

Addressing Tips

The DoD has requested that those who send mail use the servicemember's full name (with or without rank or rating), unit and APO/FPO (Air/Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office) address with the nine-digit ZIP Code (if one is assigned) and a return address. For packages, mailers are asked to print on one side only with the recipient's address in the lower right portion.

Prohibitions

While there are specific restrictions for each five-digit military post office ZIP Code (APO/FPO), generally speaking, it is prohibited to mail the following to this region:

⢠obscene articles (prints, paintings, cards, films, videotapes, etc.);
⢠pork or pork by-products;
⢠any matter depicting nude or seminude persons, pornographic or sexual items, or nonauthorized political materials. Although religious materials contrary to the Islamic faith are prohibited in bulk quantities, items for the personal use of the addressee are permissible.

Restrictions are updated every other Thursday in the Postal Bulletin. Customers may also obtain this information by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS, or by visiting their local post office.

All military units are assigned an APO or FPO ZIP Code and in many cases that ZIP Code travels with the unit. The Postal Service places APO/FPO mail on special charter flights, commercial airlines, and military service aircraft at military and U.S. airports. When planes arrive overseas, the mail is tendered to the military and transported via local military transportation to delivery points.

According to the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), depending on where the servicemember is located, letters and Priority Mail parcels to Kuwait normally take 10 to 15 days. Parcel Post packages take longer since they don't travel by aircraft within the U.S. prior to overseas dispatch. There may be size restrictions and customs declaration form requirements to some locations as mail going through the MPSA can be subject to the host country customs requirements. The time to deliver varies depending on the category of mail and the country of destination. Delivery may also take longer when armed forces are on the move during periods of heightened activity.

Packaging Tips

It's a good idea to keep the following in mind to ensure that packages are delivered promptly.

⢠Extreme Temperatures: Desert temperatures typically exceed 100 degrees.
⢠The Box: Select a box strong enough to protect the contents and large enough to accommodate cushioning. If reusing a box, cover all previous labels and markings with a heavy black marker or adhesive labels.
⢠Cushioning: Cushioning the contents with newspaper is a novel way to send news from home. Styrofoam and bubble wrap are also good choices. Close and shake the box. If it rattles, add additional cushioning to keep items from shifting.
⢠Batteries: Occasionally a battery powered item such as a radio or electric razor will turn itself on during shipment. Be sure to remove and wrap the batteries separately.
⢠Sealing: Tape the opening of the box and reinforce all seams with 2" wide tape. Use clear or brown packaging tape, reinforced packing tape or paper tape. Do not use cord, string or twine as it causes the package to get caught and possibly damaged in sorting equipment.
⢠Include a card describing the contents: Occasionally improperly wrapped packages fall apart during shipment.
⢠Including a card inside the package that lists the sender's and recipient's addresses along with a description of the contents helps in collecting items that have fallen open during processing.

Also, go to http://www.usps.com/communications/news/press/2005/pr05_096.pdf

To address current demand, the Postal Service has created a special âkitâ that contains the necessary mailing materials based on the most popular items ordered to send care
packages to the troops.
This kit may be ordered by calling 1-800-610-8734 and requesting CAREKIT04. The kit contains 4 Priority Mail boxes, 6 Priority Mail âFlat-Rateâ boxes, 10 Priority Mail labels, one roll of Priority Mail tape, and 10 customs forms with envelopes. There is no charge for the kit.
All packages and mail must be addressed to individual service members, in accordance with U.S. Department of Defense regulations.


Oh and kitkat, it's good to know someone has received some help from their Family Readiness Group... ours is horrible. The people in charge are very slack and lack the resources to help the families out.

Where can I go to learn how to DJ?

popular newsletter formats image

Lisabise

I really would like to learn and it's difficult even starting. I hear most djs are self taught, but how do I decide what equipment is best? I just want to shadow someone else or go somewhere where they can teach me to make my own decisions on what would work best for me. Is this like a craigslist thing?

Answer
I've posted this quite a bit lately, there's lot's of interest. Things have changed a little with big conglomerates buying so many stations and voice-tracking taking over, but the basic advice still holds:

OK, here's my brief version on how to get in radio-in the US. First, don't worry about the equipment - it will be supplied and a long time until you'll need your own. You can practice with any kind of recording device-even your phone if it has a recorder.

Things have changed somewhat since I got in the biz, but it's still possible to do it this way. Take it from one who started this way. If you want to try radio as a possible career choice, It's easy, really easier than most think. Go to all the local radio stations and tell them you're willing to do anything for little or no money (at first). Including interning (though those are usually for current college students in a broadcasting major). In a big city, that's going to be more difficult than a smaller town, but not impossible.

Maybe they need a Gofer, or a production or promotion assistant. In the old days you used to be able to 'hang out" at a station. That's still a possibility (usually at night) in a small town, but in a bigger city, it's hard because the stations are in office buildings. Anyway, so maybe you get a Gofer or promotion assistant job. Or maybe you're just the kid who hangs out and will go get burgers. Then as people leave for bigger better gigs, you move up. Radio's a very fluid business. People move a lot. Because the only way to really get promoted is to go to a bigger market.

Give it a try. You've got nothing to lose. Study all the stations where you live. Visit some of the websites I'll put below. Go around to all the stations (obviously start with the ones where you like the music - but don't leave out religious stations, foreign language stations etc. anything to get experience and something legit on your resume). Because you've studied the station and listened to their format, you'll impress them with your knowledge; go to the remote broadcasts and get to know the promotion people - the ones hanging banners, in the tent and handing out bumper stickers.

Sooner or later someone will leave and you can say, "Hey, I can do that, I want his job now that he's leaving." It's important you have a driverâs license & clean record, 'cause you'll be driving the station van. Go 4 it!

Though there are no mandatory educational requirements, it can't hurt. Many colleges and some high schools (especially magnet schools) have radio courses of study and there are private vocational schools like Columbia School of Broadcasting. Emerson College in Boston is the premiere Media College in the US..

If you are interested in a career in radio, check out this great scholarship program from the John Bayliss Broadcast Foundation. It could mean $5,000 towards your tuition!
www.baylissfoundation.org

Maybe you can turn another skill, with accounting, traffic, or engineering into an off-air career. Sales, though not as popular with young people, is a great way to get into radio even if you don't have a great voice. You'll also make more money and work steadier hours - but it's not as glamorous. Radio stations also need engineers, accountants and business managers.

How else do I promote a book "Living on Love - The Messenger" by Klaus Joehle?

Kostya

http://lovebook2.tripod.com/messenger-toc.shtml
I found this book on the internet back in 1999, and loved it so much that translated it into Russian, put it online and in 2005 it was picked up by a big Russian publisher and is selling well there.

So now I'd like to see the book become as popular in the States too. So I created a site, a forum, and a Yahoo-group that serves as a newsletter. But I still don't see mane new people coming up. Maybe it's just a matter of time?

Advice please how else can I push this book about the Power of Love and Winning Sports Bets to the States?

Contacting an agent could work... But it's more fun when the publisher comes on it's own! :)))

Thank you for your answers!
This and several other books by Klaus Joehle are available free online as html and doc files. His last book "Money is Love" is also awailable as downloadable mp3 files. http://lovebook2.tripod.com

Answer
You could make it available as an electronic book (e-book) from your website. You make it available in a range of E-Book formats (Adobe Acrobat .pdf file, Microsoft Reader format, etc). You then allow people to purchase it by credit card using PayPal (the service most people use to buy things on eBay) and download it. The .pdf files can be viewed using the free adobe acrobat reader and Microsoft reader files can be viewed using Microsoft's free reader program.

To publicize your website, you could use Google pay-per-click advertising or place adverts in electronic magazines (E-Zines - magazines sent out by e-mail to a big subscriber lists).

The ebook can include copy protection so it only works on the PC that it is downloaded onto. You can choose whether to allow people to print the book.

How old is Christopher Shyer?

celebrity gossip dirt image

CurleeTopp

He is a Canadian actor that appeared in ABC's V as "Marcus". My friend really likes him, but doesn't know how old he is and I can't find any information about his age/birthday online. I told her I would do whatever I could to try to find it, but I must admit, this celebrity gossip diva needs some MAJOR assistance... Anybody got the dirt I'm looking for?

Answer
It's unknown....

People who have seen To Kill a Mockingbird, and have read the book?

I need like three reasons for why Miss Maudie not being a more main character in the movie, hurt the movie, and why her being in the book helped the story. i also need a thesis statement for this. i'm really struggling here so it would be great if you could help me.

Answer
I don't remember how she was played in the movie, but in the book, she serves as a sort of "everywoman" -- a source of necessary information. Since Scout was motherless, Miss Maudie and Calpurnia both fill in that role -- Calpurnia is the "home" mother, making sure that Scout is presentable, fed, and behaves herself in everyday life. Miss Maudie is more of a "public motrher" -- remember Scout's words about how all the ladies dissapear inside their homes during the heat off the day, to emerge later, changed and "smelling of talcum powder,"' Miss Maudie sees that Scout is behaving herself (the incident with Scout breaking the heads off of flowets with a stick and Miss Maudie and Scout have a conversation about frustration. Miss Maudie is the example that Southern society expects Scout to be once she gets over the dirt, overall, and keeping up with Jem and Dill bit.*

There's awlays an underlying tension in the relationship between Miss Maudie and Atticus - both are single, of a similar age, have had a long friendship, and some of the townspeople probably gossip about their marriae prospedts & see it only fitting that Atticus marry someone to help him raise his children. Staying singe in those days just was not the standard for most people. The author doesn't bring this relationship out, but kindasorta hints arund it. Our minds, keyed to some sort of happy conclusion because of the films and books of the time -- in nearly every movie or book, someone wound up marrying someone, so the audience/readers are waiting for something that never happens.

*BTW, the character of "Dill" is based on the real-life author Truman Capote & Scout is a reflection of Harper Lee. Personally, I've alway wondered how much of "To Kill A Mockingbird" was written by Capote. He and Harper Lee worked together on the book, supposedly her writing and him editing, but if you read "In Cold Blood" and TKAM back-to-back, there is definitely a certain carryover of style. and voice. I met Capote hen I was about 20. but he was at the peak of his drug/achohol days, and I was too shy and intimedated to ask him Harper Lee wrote the one book and has never produce any other work. She lives, I hear, a very quiet, non celebrity life.

Can I review products and share videos on my website?

latest news youtube image

Sidney

I am building a website around the subject of video games and I was wondering if it would be illegal to review video games and share the latest news and videos about them.

Answer
There is absolutely nothing illegal about reviewing a video game and posting that review on a website. Also, news cannot be copyrighted, just don't copy a news story (you are best off trying to get put on news release mailing lists from the game manufacturers). Finally, it all depends on what videos you are talking about. If these are videos someone else has created, no you may not share them legally without getting the permission of the person (if they are on someplace like youtube, you can always link out to them). If they are your own videos (i.e., you doing a video review of a game with minimal game screenshots), then yes, you can post the video.

The main idea is do not steal or copy someone elses work and post it on your web site.

How well do you trust wrestling dirt sheets?

celebrity gossip dirt image

Lecter

What I mean by "dirt sheets" are reports of a certain promotion that make their way online. They could be reports about backstage drama, spoilers, etc. One of the most popular reporters of these online reports is Dave Meltzer.

So do you believe everything that is reported as absolutely true or do you see some of it as gossip like celebrity gossip?

Answer
For the most part, I see it as gossip. However, some of the information on those sites turn out to be legit. Dirt sheets should never be trusted 100%, though, because things can always change, especially in WWE. And of course, some of these sites are more reliable than others. It just depends on where the site reporters find their information.

Why is it we don't start caring and wanting to change the world until a celebrity tells us to?

J B Gemini

Aiken, Milano, Glover. etc... These issues they talk about are not new, it's been happening since before some of us were born. But why is it, we as a whole, not the individual find it neccessary to want to change the world and help out with the cause when some of the biggest names in the industry get involved. Now everyone has a solution in fact some of their questions have 3000 answers worth of solutions. What is it that when a celebrity jumps up and says "join this cause" that triggers people minds and hearts, instead of an average joe asking you to do the same?

Answer
Good question, my friend. Very good question, indeed.

The problem is, most people are followers. Majority don't care much about the world except their own back yard. However, they do care about the Super Bowl, The American Idol, or gossiping and dishing the dirt about the rich and famous and celebrities. They watch the news and say... "oh, it ain't my problem... I've got enough problems of my own.." but they will watch what the celebrities are wearing and buy their name-brand clothing or purses and shoes, etc. They will go to see their favorite celebrity's concerts and cheer and laugh and cry - but they don't care much about the world.

So, when a celebrity jumps up and says... "join this cause", they will most likely do it.. It's sad, but true.. It's because they listen to their words and follow them like sheep. Fortunately, it's for a good cause.

This is the psychology of the masses, my friend. If you want to do something, you got to start doing it.. By doing what needs to be done, you lead yourself instead of following the crowd. This makes you a leader. When you get better at what you do, you will be able to lead others just like the celebrities did. Leaders innovate... followers imitate.

What is happening with Syria right now?

Colin

I'm sorry, I haven't been up to speed with international news for a while now after being in school. I know there is some trouble with Syria, and that there's something about a military strike. Are we about to go to war? I know that Russia advised the US to back off of Syria, so are we about to go to war with someone? Sorry if I sound so naive, I really gotta keep up on this stuff.

Answer
The Syrian civil war, also known as Syrian uprising or Syrian crisis is an ongoing armed conflict in Syria between forces loyal to the Ba'ath government and those seeking to oust it. The conflict began on 15 March 2011, with popular demonstrations that grew nationwide by April 2011. These demonstrations were part of the wider Middle Eastern protest movement known as the Arab Spring. Protesters demanded the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has held the presidency in Syria since 1971, as well as the end of Ba'ath Party rule, which began in 1963.

In April 2011, the Syrian Army was deployed to quell the uprising, and soldiers fired on demonstrators across the country. After months of military sieges, the protests evolved into an armed rebellion. Opposition forces, mainly composed of defected soldiers and civilian volunteers, remain without central leadership. The conflict is asymmetrical, with clashes taking place in many towns and cities across the country. Late 2011 marked growing influence of the Islamist group Jabhat al-Nusra within the opposition forces, and in 2013 Hezbollah entered the war in support of the Syrian army. The Syrian government is further upheld by military support from Russia and Iran, while Qatar and Saudi Arabia transfer weapons to the rebels. By July 2013, the Syrian government controls approximately 30â40 percent of the country's territory and 60 percent of the Syrian population. The insurgency controls large swaths of territory in the country's north and east.
The Arab League, United States, European Union, and other countries condemned the use of violence against the protesters. The Arab League suspended Syria's membership because of the government's response to the crisis, but granted the Syrian National Coalition, a coalition of Syrian political opposition groups, Syria's seat on 6 March 2013.

In June 2013, the death toll surpassed 100,000 according to the United Nations

The 2013 Ghouta attacks were a series of alleged chemical attacks that occurred on Wednesday, 21 August 2013, in the Ghouta region of the Rif Dimashq Governorate of Syria.

Opposition and medical sources gave a death toll of 322 to 1,729, and said that none of them had physical wounds. According to the activist network Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), which gave the lowest estimate of 322 killed.

The US planned to launch up to 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles against Syria. Iran warned that strikes would be met with retaliation on Israel.

US missile strikes would be launched without the approval from the UN Security Council, seeing 'no avenue forward, given continued Russian opposition, to any meaningful council action on Syria'. According to Russia, this action would be a "very grave violation of international law." Russia and China warned against military intervention in Syria, saying that it would have "catastrophic consequences" for the entire region

Why is the Boston Marathon Bombing so memorable?

latest news boston marathon bombing image

Adamismyna

I'm not at all trying to downplay the tragedy in Boston. What I am wondering though with regards to news coverage and details about it, "Why is it such a national tragedy" rather then a 1 or 2 day news story. In 1998 there was a school shooting in Oregon where 4 people were killed (2 in the suspect's home and 2 at the school) and it was tragic but a 2 day only news story. The Boston Marathon Tragedy is being covered more like the Oklahoma City Bombing or the Sandy Hook Shooting where many more lives were lost.
So what is it about the Boston Marathon Bombing that has made it such a news story and I presume an historic event that will be a "where were you when you heard about the Boston Marathon Bombing". When the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993 there was another major story two days later that got just as much coverage so even that was a two day news story even though there were updates. the Vanderbilt News Archive showed the Waco Shootout two days after the WTC Bombing got almost just as much coverage. Whereas the West Texas Explosion a day or two after the Boston Bombing got very little coverage due to the Boston Bombing.

Answer
Your rant is bullshit from beginning to end. I can only assume you are a troll because the alternative is that you really are as stupid as you sound.

Why does everyone care about major killings or terrorist related killings?

Kurt

Every story I hear about bombings and killings from terrorists always get so much attention from news and lots of people share it and hate the people who don't care every year for the victims. The Boston Bombing was a terrorist act and the thing that the terrorists wanted is excatly what they got. The press, civilians and even other countries heard about the "terror". I mean, who cares? This stuff happens everyday and no one could care less. But two bombs go off in a crowd in America and kill 4 people and everyone has to tell everyone. I sure dont care. I'm not saying that the killing was right but I'm sure not saying it needs to have so much attention. Why do Americans need to do this. I'm not saying Americans are bad people but it seems that everything that happens down there is a calling for sympathy. Even in Canada (where I live) I hear about shootings, robbery, murder and all that, that is in America. I don't need to fear another countries problems. I can see the ones we have. Why does this happen?

Answer
It drives me crazy. I'm American, and of course it's a "big deal" when people get murdered, in that it should not be overlooked, people shouldn't be able to get away with it, etc. But the kind of publicity that terrorist attacks and mass shootings get just makes them happen more often. I think that the people who carry out these mass shootings, who are generally mentally ill, in their minds twisted by mental illness see it as a way to get publicity, so every time one happens and is subsequently all over the news, a few more decide that it's the way to go. I'm currently living with a family in Peru, and when we heard about the Boston bombing, my host family told me that this kind of thing used to (late 80s - early 90s) happen every day in Peru. In fact, my host father said that what went on in Peru was much worse, and a "little" think like the marathon bombing wouldn't even have really made the local news, much less international. People are just way to into sensationalism and don't care what the results are.

gammy8

He has been through so much and he is only 54 years old but to look at him and watch him you'd think he was in his 80's! He has always been a happy guy and healty but for some reason 6 years ago he lost over half of his blood supply. After many blood transfutions and 8 doctors from AZ to WA state, no one is getting close to why he isn't getting any better. We need to find a GOOD CAREING doctor here in Phoenix before it's too late. An Internal Med. Doctor does anyone know of one, Please write me back. We have insurance through the military. He was in for 20 years, and the VA can't seem to help him eaither.

I work at Good Samaritan Hospital and our reputation is one of the best. We are one of the top level 1 trauma hospitals in the nation. U.S News and World Reports magazine listed us FOUR times in their Best Hospitals of 2007 report. So it's safe to say our doctors have a good reputation. below i have attached the link of the magazine report.

most of the internal doctors that i work closely with are ones that primarily take patients with no insurance. They are referred to as hospitalists. We do have some excellent internal med drs that see patients outside the hospital. I can attach their info for you as well.

Dr. Jasser (well known within our hospital and has been practicing for 15+ years)

Dr. M Zuhdi Jasser
1301 East Mcdowell Road, Ste 202
Phoenix, AZ

Dr.Lipschitz i know from working on the medical floor-nice dr and good reputation.

Dr. Barbara Lipschitz
4444 North 32nd Street,
Phoenix, AZ
(602) 200-3800

Dr. Rice would be the dr i would go with. This woman is a sensational dr. One of the best I've seen. She's very thorough-she will check everything to get to the route of your husband's problems. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether or not she takes patients outside the hospital (she is a hospitalist). She does have an office though so please call and check. She has an awesome personality to go with her skills.

Dr. Lynn A Rice
2020 North Central Avenue,
Phoenix, AZ
602-553-8400

these are just a few of the internal med doctors we have at good samaritan. you can always call the hospital at 602-239-3000 and ask for the social services department. The social workers can give you a more detailed list of doctors close to your area.

good luck with your search and i'll be praying for your husband's recovery.

Why are all of the Democrats who did what Obama said, using a Right that came from Republican Arizona in 1966?

GRETA The

The IRS official over the division that reviews tax-exempt applications will invoke her Fifth Amendment right not to testify before Congress, her lawyer says.

Lois Lerner was scheduled to appear Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee. But in a letter to committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., her lawyer says she will not offer testimony under her constitutional rights against self-incrimination, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"She has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course," said the letter from Lerner's defense attorney William W. Taylor III.

Taylor says in the letter that the Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into why conservative groups were targeted for extra scrutiny and that Issa's committee has asked Lerner for an explanation why she gave "false or misleading information" four times in 2012.

Taylor asked that Lerner be excused from appearing since she will not be answering questions. Since she will not testify, Taylor argued that making Lerner appear would "have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her."

The inspector general's report said Lerner was made aware in June 2011 that agents had used terms such as "tea party" and "patriot" to single out groups for additional scrutiny.

MIRANDA VS ARIZONA: THE CRIME THAT CHANGED AMERICAN JUSTICE - Your Miranda Rights

Downtown Phoenix Arizona - Night Life In The Big AZ City
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/the-longest-day/

The young woman working at the concession stand at the Paramount Theater in downtown Phoenix watched as the last of the Saturday night crowd filtered out beneath the hundreds of lights on the theaters marquee into the cool March evening. The movie that was playing that night was the World War II epic, The Longest Day, and as a result of the shows extra long running time, she was forced to close down the movie theater and walk home along the darkened downtown thoroughfares much later than she was used to. It was shortly after 11 p.m. on March 2, 1963, and in a few moments the 18-year-old woman would become a central character in a criminal act that would have ramifications far beyond her small world.

Patricia McGee sat next to a male co-worker for much of her bus ride home, but when their bus reached northeast Phoenix, the two separated and Patty transferred to another route. She got off at her normal stop near Seventh and Marlette streets, on the edge of a commercial district and headed up Marlette toward home.

As she walked down the street, a car pulled out from a driveway, nearly hitting her, and headed in the same direction as Patty east. The car stopped about a block in front of her and a man got out and started toward her. Even at 11 p.m. it wasn't unusual for people to be out on Marlette, but this night, just Patty and the tall, slim dark-haired man were on the street. She glanced at him as they got nearer, but paid little attention.

They drew abreast of each other, not making eye contact, and just as she was about to pass the nondescript man, he reached out and grabbed her. His other hand reached over her mouth and he warned her not to make any move, or I'll.

Patty begged him to let her go, but the attacker dragged the 18-year-old to his car. He tied her hands behind her before pushing her into the backseat and forcing her to lie down on the floor. The terrified woman did as she was told, and once she was inside, her captor bound her ankles, as well.

As they drove away from Phoenix into the desert, Patty continued to plead for her freedom, and the man replied that he wasn't going to hurt her. He drove for about 20 minutes into the high desert, once he reached his chosen spot, the Democrat Miranda raped Patty McGee R-Phoenix..

After the assault, the rapist asked Patty for money, and she gave him the four dollars she had in her purse. He then ordered the violated girl back into the car, threw his jacket over her head and drove back into Phoenix. About a half-mile from her home, he dropped Patty off and sped away into the night.

Rape was becoming an ever-increasing problem in Phoenix in the early 1960s. There were 152 rapes in the city the year Patty was attacked, up 20 percent from the year before and 33 percent from 1961, according to Liva Baker, the reporter who wrote the definitive book on the Miranda case. By 1970, Baker wrote, the number of rapes in Phoenix would nearly double from the 1963 figure.

Based on her statements, police began looking for a 27 or 28-year-old Mexican man with a mustache, a little less than six feet tall, weighing 175 pounds.

Know your Democrat History....Don't become a victim of Obama & Holder.

Answer
Just to answer the actual question you asked, the right to remain silent did not come from Arizona. That comes from the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution adopted in 1791. You are thinking of Miranda v. Arizona, which established that a person subjected to custodial interrogation cannot be found to have waived that right unless he is expressly advised of of the right and expressly waives it.

You might take a shot at knowing your U.S. history, and not become a victim of Fox News.
