I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot and the battery light came on. I did some research and thought it was the alternator. It still started and ran fine, until today. I stopped at a gas station and when I came out it would not start. I got someone to jump start it for me but it would not shift out of park and every warning light came on. It started to idle high and rough, so I turned it off and left it there to be picked up in the morning. What would cause these problems?
My car has 79000 miles.
Hello, thanks for writing in about your Jeep Patriot. The low voltage condition from the alternator not charging will cause the Totally Integrated Control Module (TIPM) to not work correctly. You should have the battery charged up completely and then have the charging system tested. The computer should then be scanned for problems. You should have a certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, come to your house to diagnose your starting issue firsthand. They'll be able to pinpoint the issue and help you fix the problem accordingly.
Q: I was told some 4x4 jeep models are primarily front wheel drive then the rears kick in when engaged.
Q: RPM needle moves up and down and then car shuts off when starting it. This happens intermittent. Runs good some days, others no.
Q: No bus my lights flicker. Wipers come on radio and ac stop. 2014 town and country.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker College men's basketball team heads to the semifinals of the 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference basketball tournament to face the No. 3 seed Anderson Trojans.

Senior guard Julian Nelson led the way with a team-high 22 points to go along with four assists and four rebounds on the night. Errick Bethel came in next with 19 points. Bethel found most his success from the charity stripe, knocking down nine of 10 free throws on the night. Eren Moses chipped in with 15 points.

Cancer organizations get marketing tips from consumer brands to improve patient education
The partnerships came about after the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation and Kantar Health conducted a study on cancer patients' knowledge gaps.
Healthcare organizations are getting outreach tips from big consumer brands. Five patient advocacy groups have started a collaboration with consumer companies to help cancer organizations form better one-to-one relationships with their patients.
Launched by the Harvard Business School Kraft Precision Medicine Accelerator, the program is bringing together five patient advocacy groups — the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, LUNGevity Foundation, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, and the Prostate Cancer Foundation — with consumers brands such as Marriott, Reebok, and Rent the Runway.
"The way these foundations are going to get better at one-to-one patient marketing is not necessarily by looking at other foundations doing it marginally better," said Lori Marcus, chair of the Direct-to-Patient workstream of the Kraft Accelerator and vice chair of MMRF.
The impetus for the program was a study from the MMRF that identified cancer patients' knowledge gaps and determined three steps to address them that can be applied to several types of cancer.
The study found that there are three decisions cancer patients need to make: the right team, right tests, and right treatment. Each group's website features "Right Track" steps and has tips and searchable databases to help patients find the right doctors, tests, and treatments.
"They're all aligned on common language and common graphic treatment," Marcus said. "The reason that's important is because it's simplified and starts to diffuse the noise cacophony of messages. There are hundreds of millions being spent by academic medical centers and pharma companies, and everybody says it slightly different and patients are generally confused."
Another goal of the Right Track program is to dispel misconceptions identified in the study, specifically about clinical trials, data sharing, and precision medicine.
Across the five cancer organizations, only about half of patients had heard of precision medicine, according to the research. Patients also felt they needed more information about clinical trials before participating in one, with the highest percentage from patients affiliated with the LUNGevity Foundation (57%).
When it comes to sharing data, patients were more comfortable sharing their genomic or clinical information than their contact information. In each patient group, more than 85% of patients were willing to share their data.
The Right Track program also encourages patients to share data at each step of the process and help others who have cancer.
"We're now in this era of precision medicine and had a hunch, because we're in touch with so many patients every day, that there were indeed gaps in knowledge and behavior," said Anne Quinn Young, SVP of marketing and communications at the MMRF. "There is evidence in a number of cancers that it's important where you're treated and how you're treated. That's why we're very focused on if we can move the needle together."
This story was updated on June 28 to clarify the collaboration process between nonprofits and brands.

A business-minded look at digital and social media in sports
About DSMSports.Net
Fan Development, Social Media
Social Media, Sports, and Personality: Representing The Brand
Personality is the best thing to happen for sports and social media. When Facebook posts and Twitter feeds became less robotic, glorified RSS feeds and formal PR channels and more engagement tools, building relationships with fans, it was a win for all.
But, somewhere along the way, many team personalities diverged from the values and brand that so long defined the teams and were inculcated throughout the locker room.
When a new coach comes in, they appreciate the history and organization they're inheriting, while also putting up the slogans and infusing the team with a bit of his/her personality and philosophy. Here's guessing that most organizations don't think of themselves as standing for snark, nor coaches coming in with plans to taunt and chirp opposing teams at every chance on social media.
"Our online presence needs to reflect what our brand is…," Boston Celtics VP of Digital Media Peter Stringer told me in a recent interview. "We should be echoing what [head coach] Brad Stevens wants to put out, what our players are talking about. To me, we should be amplifying and echoing what those guys are all about…"
Fans may relate to a little snark, may laugh at a taunt at another team, but is cultivating a community that feels closer to the team? Is it helping fans identify with the messages being put forth in emotional locker rooms after games or on the backs of t-shirts worn on training days? Fans like seeing their teams have a little fun, but they like even more feeling like they're on the same emotional wavelength of the team, knowing what is being said in the huddle before a team takes the field or the ice or the court. A little snark may catch the attention of a casual fan for a fleeting moment, the flavor of the minute, but a connection that hits at heartstrings build fans for life.
"Could we be more fun on Twitter? Maybe occasionally," said Stringer. "But, realistically, I just don't look at it that way. To me, you're representing the brand every time you tweet…It's always been about 'we don't want to screw up what all these people have built with their blood, sweat, and tears, and what that brands means to so many people and generations of fans.' Because what's the point?…"
There is no easy answer here. When social media managers are eager to show ROI, to show off some hockey stick growth in reach and engagement, it is tempting if not seemingly responsible to engage in a tactic that has proven to produce metrics that, whether they drive revenue or not, matter to many. Maybe it leads to more followers, which leads to more reach on marketing messages, which leads to some incremental sales. But is any short-term, small gain worth the expense of a brand that has been built over generations? For the Celtics and Stringer, the answer is clear.
"I respect [the Celtics brand and history] way too much…There's no upside," said Stringer, whose Celtics' Twitter handle was ranked last by a Complex Magazine article ranking NBA team Twitter accounts. "Even if you get 10,000 retweets, then what does that mean? Does it help you sell more tickets? Does it help you sell more merchandise? Does it meet any of the bottom line goals that we have as an organization?…I don't really think so. So that's how I've always looked at it and will continue to look at it."
This post is not a prescription for what's right and wrong. Stringer even admitted the Celtics have more of a brand and legacy to protect than a team with less history and fewer generations that have grown up with the organization and its values. But it is a reminder that the personality of the team on social media should NOT be a reflection of the personality of the social media manager. That personality should be defined and perpetuated across the organization, consistent on all channels, and readily identifiable with fans. It should reflect what the team wants to stand for, not what personality will work best on each platform. This may sound difficult to comprehend and even plain wrong, but at a certain point, the brand is what matters most. It transcends the vanity metrics; it's not all about the likes or retweets.
If you want to build a team that a community of fans can and will rally behind, it's not built with a few snarky tweets, it's a long game. Make a fan laugh and you have fleeting attention, make a fan feel and you're starting to build an emotional connection that'll last a lifetime.

Countless questions, scenarios and challenges present themselves as artificial intelligence obliterates the boundaries that yesterday seemed so far away?
Story by James McRory
It's no longer science fiction but a matter of science fact. Artificial intelligence is not just a reality but an increasingly important reality that has far-reaching and ever-increasing implications on the way we live, work and play.
A thought-provoking new film simply called MACHINE, explores the myriad implications of artificial intelligence – what it means now and what it could mean tomorrow as the technology races forward and increases its own possibilities exponentially.
From autonomous cars to autonomous friends and even autonomous enemies – or at least autonomous weapons – the very idea of machines operating without 'us' is both exciting and frankly terrifying, but every aspect is explored in the Justin Krook directed MACHINE.
Experts in a variety of related fields – from robotics to ethics, autonomous mobility to machine learning, weigh in on the good, the bad and the potentially ugly in a film that is both captivating but will leave you wondering and questioning.
Of course the possibilities for positively enriching human existence are tremendous and in more way than might immediately spring to kind. The idea of autonomous vehicles springs to mind, giving the user more time to relax or work on their daily commute for example, while the vehicle transports them to their destination. Tremendous advancements have already been made in this field, and while many legal and indeed, logistical questions remain, autonomous vehicles are coming, says Dr Mikloss Kiss, head of Autonomous development Audi AG, and one of the industry experts featured in MACHINE.
Experts in a variety of related fields – from robotics to ethics, autonomous mobility to machine learning, weigh in on the good, the bad and the potentially ugly
Bigger than the industrial revolution and more pervasive than the internet, artificial intelligence has the potential to enrich, but also to destroy
But what of artificial intelligence learning the subtle nuances of of a person's speech, or online communications – essentially the foundation for the Replika software developed by Eugenia Kuyda. A potentially enriching resource for isolated or lonely people? A way to unburden oneself of personal worries, or potentially something more sinister?
Machines able to outthink, outmanoeuvre and outplay human beings, is not something that has been possible in the past. Indeed we have been accustomed to being the very top of the 'food chain' in terms of intelligence since the very beginning. With AI we are actively seeking for the first time to build machines that have the potential to be smarter than we are, and advancements in artificial intelligence are such that the potential is quite literally, beyond imagination.
Bigger than the industrial revolution and more pervasive than the internet, artificial intelligence has the potential to enrich, but also to destroy. Too that end, the United Nations is already besieged with those calling for bans on the development of autonomous weapons that have a potential that is chilling to even consider.
Thinking robots for companionship and even sex. Thinking machines tasked with transporting us safely and thinking machines developed with the sole purpose of conflict and war conducted by machines against human beings. The possibilities are seemingly endless, but of course there are different types of AI and not all of them will result in super intelligence far greater than our own. From machine learning to autonomous driving in its various stages right through to super computers, capable of matching giant human intellects at fantastically difficult tasks, AI exists and is growing at many levels.
MACHINE examines the realities and the possibilities, the pluses and the negatives as well as the ethical considerations that will increasingly come into play as the technology develops. Is it a cause for concern and a yearning for simpler times, or a reason to celebrate and be optimistic about a brighter future? Without doubt it is a little of both, but certainly, tomorrow will not be boring.
MACHINE starts with a powerful quote from Alan Turing, the man credited as the father of Artificial Intelligence that very much sums up the situation:
"It is customary to offer a grain of comfort that some particularly human characteristic could never be imitated by a machine.
I cannot offer such comfort.
But I believe that the attempt to make a thinking machine will help us greatly in finding out how we think ourselves."
Yesterday's novelty drinks robot may have been consigned to the 'what were we thinking' file, and the idea of a terminator coming back from a machine-led future regarded as a childish film premise. But artificial intelligence is real and its ongoing impact is far reaching, fast moving and fascinating.
MACHINE will be in select cinemas across Australia from 12 December, 2019. To find out more, visit www.machine.movie.

For the due description of God's blessings, humans become wordless and voiceless. What human can do is to sing the praises of all mercies in each beat of heart. Imagination too supports to gain enough strength to think, observe and enjoy the godly blessings. To illustrate the truth natural-resource rich Balochistan is the hub of beautification. From the mountains to stone be it the deep sea of Gwadar or natural gas of Sui, Balochistan remains replete with immeasurable blessings. Gwadar – a famous district of Balochistan – is located in Western Coastal belt of Balochistan. What makes Gwadar gain the attention of the globe is no doubt the Gwadar sea port. Gwadar port is the third deep sea of Pakistan after Qasim and Karachi port. Not only Gwadar port remains a trade point in national level, but also it opens the avenues for international trade of export and import. Importantly, mega project of Gwadar sea port and Makran coast such as Pasni, Ormada, and Jewani fulfill the requirements of three strategically important regions; Western China, South Asia and the oil rich Middle East. In terms of wealth the sea-port plays a key role because of which Gwadar port remains incomparable. It is expected to generate billions of dollars in revenues and create two million jobs. This is considered to be a minimum approximation.
The first phase of Gwadar port project started in June 2002 with help of China. First phase of the project had been completed by the end of 2004. The second phase of the project was started by the ex-president Parvez Musharaf and Chinese Communication Minister Li Sha Sheng on 20th March 2007. That was the project of 600 million dollars. For the construction of it, China collaborated with Pakistan. China had already spent a total of $ 248 million. The geo-strategic significance of Gwadar makes it a better point of economic trade mark. More than 13 million barrels of oil passes per day through important Straits of Harmuz. Gwadar sea port is a gateway to Southwest and Central Asia. What is worth mentioning is that 20 countries of the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia will benefit from Gwadar port. This is what proves the economical power of Balochistan. Moreover, despite connecting a number of countries to Pakistan in terms of trade, sea port provides the provision of commercial and industrial facilities for international trade specially that of Afghanistan, China UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran Iraq, Central Asian States and other countries. It also provides facilities of Transships, transit and coastal trade.

So I thought, earlier, that I might lie down and do that careful listening, like-meditation thing again, with the third movement of the op. 132 quartet. But by the time I got around to bed, that seemed like an awful lot of work, which reminded me that it is work, despite the idea (maybe true) that meditation is supposed to be relaxing in some way.
So I didn't do it. But I ended up staying awake for another couple of hours, and now I feel bitter, irritated, and bleak (mysteriously - probably not from just having stayed up longer).
So suddenly it seems worthwhile again to listen carefully before bed, because of what it has to offer me.
Of course, the album track / single distinction might be key for the stuff below about whether one should write off commercial rap.
Recent revelations about Dirty:
"This part is kind of annoying but I still like it."
"This part is kind of scary but I still like it."
"This part is kind of dumb but I still like it."
Recent revelations about Dots and Loops:
"Oh, there are strings on this album!"
"No, wait, maybe those are synths, but who cares?
"These are definitely strings, I forgot about them too."
"So the earlier ones were strings, I bet."
"Oh wow, this whole part is in 5/4."
"Oh wow, when I count this in four, this part of the beat stays on but this other one shifts."
"Oh wow, this is in 6/8 or some other meter like that that I never really learned how to count in school."
"The drum machine bit here is actually fascinating instead of boring, I wonder what happened?"
I found myself surprised tonight at just how violent some parts of the third section ("Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart: Molto adagio - Andante") of Beethoven's op. 132 string quartet sound. (In my head, and I think on paper, this is overwhelmingly the "slow" and "pretty" section. Also "deep" and "beautiful" and "sublime" et cetera. But before that "sublime" gives you any ideas, get your mind out of the Enlightenment-era shit-thunder-is-scary-man gutter.)
Something I have yet to understand is how people who have listened to enough (this is some small amount, I'm not sure how much - even just a single album should be enough) contemporary, mainstream rap could seriously contend that the music is not worth listening to or thinking about in virtue of its, well, vice.
One thing to ask is, what is the vice? Problems I often hear cited are commercial rap's obsessions with: material wealth, sex, women, misogyny, drugs, and image. Sometimes it's just one problem that's supposed to be the one that ruins things - note how "bling" rap is just that, bling rap, and not "bling and bitches", say. (Of course, they're more or less in there, too, but to simply say so without asking what particular role women play in bling rap, as opposed to gangsta rap, or whatever other sort of distinctions you'd like to draw, would be too quick. Compare the ways women show up in the lyrics of: Nelly, Jay-Z, Clipse, Dre, Eve, DMX, Missy Elliott, Outkast.) Some people are nominally more canny and group all of these things together as the culprit, the reason we shouldn't bother listening and thinking.
If the complaint is by now tired, the response is, too, maybe just because it seems to go unheeded (then again, the complaint probably does too). What about everything else that shows up, constantly, in rhymes? Poverty - that of the MC, or of those he knows, or grew up around, or with, or maybe of those who are essentially strangers to him. Racism. Crime and drugs, in their negative aspects, rather than only the ways they serve the MC positively. Community, friendship, obligations, respect, family. Power. Self-determination and self-definition.
Do I mean to suggest here the picture that, aside from all the talk about drugs, cash, and bitches, rappers are actually spending their verses pulling a Harlem Renaissance on us? Certainly not. (Of course, I'm not excluding that possibility either.) I also don't mean to suggest that somehow the mere presence of more positive (if whatever it's opposed to is supposed to be wholly negative - which by itself is stupid, either kind of content could be positive or negative, depending on the case) content outweighs negative content, or cancels it out, or neutralizes it, or something like that. (Again, I of course don't mean to exclude this possibility either, though I reckon we might expect there to be some sophisticated relationship between the positive and the negative - maybe recognized or established explicitly by the artist, maybe just by us - for us to think that the negative is ultimately not a problem.)
So what the fuck am I suggesting? Simply that people look and see. I don't know about you, but facts like these make me stop and think before I decide that the music is not worth listening to because of this or that feature of it.
Last night I noticed (though I guess I have been aware of it for a long time) that for quite a while I've been listening to music differently. The best way I've come up with to describe it succinctly is that my mind has been more outside my headphones rather than inside them. This is not to say anything about the focus of my writing for the past few months - and I only this to be avoid being misinterpreted as having a problem with being too cerebral, or not actually listening to the music or something. In some sense I have been hearing it and enjoying it (sometimes). But the focus of my attention has shifted. Tonight while listening to Life After Death I noticed myself staring off into space at a paper bag or something; imagine that feeling and you've got my overriding mode of attention to music for the past who knows how many months.
To see about changing it, last night, I put on "As" and "Another Star" from Songs in the Key of Life. My CD changer is still broken, so this meant playing them just on headphones (which I would've done anyway at that hour) with my portable player (which always makes me feel as if I am camping or something, when I do it inside on my bed). I played "As" a few times and then let it move into "Another Star", then listened to them both again and cut off "Another Star" before it finished and went to bed. I tried to focus intently on at least one thing throughout, though that thing did change as the song went by, of course. Often I tried for the lyrics, because these two songs are especially repetitive for Stevie Wonder songs, and I thought I caught myself drifting away more easily when I focused on a more repetitive part of the music.
The whole thing felt something like what I reckon (through ignorance) meditation to be.
I like to think that, on the cover of Innervisions, Stevie is shooting laser beams out of his eyes. At aliens. Or Jesus (post-ascension).
On the "U Don't Know" remix featuring M.O.P., Jay gives himself away - gives away that he's trying to keep up with them, but can't. "razor blades under the tongue / I will eat your face" - but do I believe him? Of course not. Given his persona (personas?) it's hard to even believe him rhyming about, say, paying someone else to eat your face. In that sick way inevitable when one is talking about eating people's faces, he's kind of a big teddy bear here, playing tough. A big cuddly sick face-eating teddy bear.

Barnham Broom Golf Resort - Norwich
The real beauty of golf at Barnham Broom is the contrasting character of the two courses and the challenges they offer. Take the Valley Course, beautifully designed by Frank Pennink, one of Europe's most respected golf course architects, with abundant water features, blending into the delightful natural landscape. Then there's the Hill Course, another of Frank's designs, although, this time, modified by Donald Steel. As its name suggests, golfers can enjoy fine views over the surrounding countryside, while rising to the challenge posed by constant breezes and carefully placed bunkers guarding the greens.
The Royal Norwich Golf Club - Hellesdon
For golf in Norfolk the discerning golfer need look no further that The Royal Norwich Golf Club conveniently situated on the outskirts of Norwich. The first 9 holes covering some 2,920 yards were opened on St Andrew's Day, 30th November. The official opening of the Club took place on 1st February 1894, by which date 18 holes measuring 4,925 yards were in play. In March 1894 a 9 hole shortened course of 2,425 yards was established specifically for play by ladies. With some subsequent purchases of additional land, the Club continues to occupy the original site at Hellesdon selected by the founding fathers. The superb undulating Course set in mature parkland provides a challenging game of golf to professionals and amateurs alike.
Eaton Golf Club - Norwich
Eaton Golf Club was founded in 1910 and is one of the oldest established golf clubs in Norfolk. The course, designed in part by the four times Open champion JH Taylor, offers a challenging 18-hole test to golfers of all standards. Despite being situated only a mile or so from the tourist attractions and shops in the centre of the city of Norwich, it is quiet, pretty and mature with greens that have been described by professional agronomists as the best in the region. Renowned throughout Norfolk, Eaton is often described as a "veritable golfing oasis within the city"
Costessey Park Golf Club - Norwich
Situated on the western outskirts of Norwich, Costessey Park Golf Club occupies some 100 acres of picturesque parkland that was once the site of Costessey Hall. The ruined remains of the belfry tower stand over the 18th fairway, providing an ivy covered testament to the former glory of a once substantial hall. The golf course lies in the gently contoured Tud river valley, providing players with a number of holes that bring the river and man-made lakes into play. Once you have successfully sunk your last putt you can retire to our newly refurbished clubhouse bar and member's lounge, where you can relax with a drink, or choose a meal from our extensive bar and a la carte menus.

Although the architectural emphasis in Lincolnshire was revival, attorney Isadore Fine liked a contemporary style of residence. To meet his tastes, the developers produced this ultramodern variant of the Prairie style. Anderson and Veatch carried out the design by using flat roofs and unusual-colored buff brick. A curved front porch, and similarly contoured glass block wall, help to visually minimize the massing weight of the house. The interior of the home featured such modern techniques and materials as smoothly plastered walls, caseless and curved-corner doorways with flush-type doors, soffit lighting, Cararra glass, Nu-Wood, and Armstrong Cork floor tile. The house also boasted a central air-conditioning system, reportedly the first residential installation in Evansville.
Isadore Fine was a senior member of the law firm Fine, Hatfield, Sparrenberger, and Fine. He was president of the Evansville Bar Association in 1944, and also served on the board of directors for Lamasco Bank and Permanent Federal Savings and Loan Association. Fine was also vice-president of the family-owned Premier Television, Inc., which is credited with bringing television to Evansville in 1953 with the advent of station WFIE.

Late Model Truck Series heading to California for next stop this Saturday
By lmtstruck | October 10, 2018
Specialty division set for 35-lap feature at The Speedway at Willow Springs
LAS VEGAS – The Late Model Truck Series is taking the show on the road to California this Saturday night.
The series – which has a long history in short track racing in the southwest – will have a 35-lap feature as part of its Elgin Pro Stock Performance Prestige Weekend at The Speedway at Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, Calif. The evening's action is part of the 1/4-mile track's "Destruction in the Desert Race Nights" Part 1 of 2.
"The Late Model Truck Series is gaining momentum, and Gary Wyatt and I can't wait for this weekend," said series organizer Michael Riefler, a longtime racing veteran and co-manager of the Late Model Truck Series. "We have had two exciting races at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and now we're ready to showcase this great division to a new audience in California. It's going to be a great night!"
The Speedway at Willow Springs in Rosamond, Calif., is the next stop for the Late Model Truck Series.
The race winner will receive a $250 product certificate toward Elgin Pro Stock Performance push rods or Black Ice Rocker Arms in addition to the payout, and the top five finishers will take home The Racer's Rewards Contingency Connection coupon books with up to $3,000 in race product coupons. The main event features start at 6.
The 1/4-mile oval is part of the eight race tracks and 600 acres that make up Willow Springs International Raceway. It is internationally recognized since 1953 as among the most prestigious in the World, and as of 1996, a California State Historical Landmark.
Michael Andretti, Tommy Kendall, Derrick Cope, and Nigel Mansell all hold track records at the facility.
"We are very excited to have the LMTS race for our Willow Springs fans this Saturday," said Andy Daddario of The Speedway at Willow Springs. "We met Gary Wyatt and Mike Riefler at the Promoters Conference last year in Reno, and we were quick to say, 'Absolutely. Bring it!' We can't wait!"
The LMTS will compete at everything from 1/4-mile short tracks to 1/2-mile ovals, as well as 1.7-mile and 2.1-mile road courses this season. After Saturday, the series moves on to Havasu 95 Speedway in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., on Nov. 10.
The region's truck racing lineage dates back to the Speed Truck Series that originated in 1997 under the American Speed Association (ASA). MechanixWear gloves and Go Fast! energy drinks sponsored the class throughout the years, and the trucks raced at up to 10 different tracks in California, Arizona and Nevada before the ASA disbanded in 2013.
The series trucks will feature a full-tube chassis, a 330-horsepower sealed V-8 spec engine and two-speed direct-drive transmission, with a clutch pedal dump valve, coupled to an aluminum quick-change rear end. The trucks sport replica fiberglass bodies of the Chevrolet S-10, Chevrolet Colorado, Dodge Dakota, Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma.
Series partners include the On Wheels Now online radio show – the longest-running motorsports radio show in Las Vegas – Melling Performance Racing, The Bomber Nation, KO Mechanical Services, Gary's Trailer Repair, Nevada Pic-A-Part, The "Racer's Rewards" Contingency Connection, Richmond Gear and ReliableBanner.com.

The Billabong bar and hotel is located on Soi LK Metro in Pattaya, Thailand. It is on the corner where the Soi bends to both Soi Diana and Soi Buakhao. See map below. The bar was sold at the end of 2014 and that seems to be the time they stopped updating their website. It was originally Australian owned, hence the name.
The bar itself is a large and popular bar, spanning 4 units so you get an idea of its size. It is a corner unit and open to the street. Customer base is a mixture of expats and tourists. It has several large flat screen TVs that show mainly sport. It gets very busy on Premier League days, especially for the bigger games. There are also two free pool tables available. There are daily drinks promotions available from 2 pm to 02.am. At the time of writing they are as follows although these things often change.
There is a live ban playing rock and pop nightly.
Food is available until 10 pm.
In fairness it would be better described as a Guesthouse but the rooms are spacious and well priced. According to their website rooms are available from 700 Baht but the site seems to be very out of date. You are probably better off using the book a room link below to Agoda.

The pizza industry can be a difficult one to break into, especially if there's a seasoned veteran with a shop nearby. Even the worst chain pizzerias can still manage to get their delivery trucks on busy routes regularly, so we know that the demand is there. But what does it take to truly succeed in the pizza industry? Whether you're a restaurant looking to add pizza to the menu or a pizzeria who's new in town, here are five tips to keep in mind when putting pizza pizzazz in your restaurant.
Location! We've all heard the phrase, 'Location, location, location' and understand the sentiments behind it, but there's truly no understating its importance when it comes to pizza shops. Pizzerias profit off of not only their menus but also off of their convenience. Many of the most successful pizzerias are located in areas where pizza delivery is in high demand (college campuses, small towns with no other pizza shops, etc) or in areas where pizza is a convenient choice (shopping malls, theme parks, etc).
Focus on Your Menu. We've all suffered through a slice of cruddy pizza before for the shear fact that we were simply really hungry, but true success comes to pizza shop owners who focus on creating a truly delicious pie. Especially important to pizzerias in areas with competition, word of mouth can be the key to putting your restaurant on top.
Put Some Pizzazz in Your Pizza. Almost anyone can make a simple pizza at home, and you can easily purchase an oven-bake pizza from the frozen food aisle at your grocer. To set yourself apart from the rest, you'll need to offer something unique to get customers in the door and coming back for more. Get inventive with your toppings, add special flavorings to your crusts, or bring the first wood burning brick oven to your town!
Don't Forget About Social! In previous blog posts, we've touched on the subject of social media marketing. Your pizza shop, no matter how authentic it may be to old-style Italian setups, needs to stay in the modern times when it comes to social media. Post pictures, engage customers, and get users involved on your social media pages to ensure that you're capturing as much business as possible.
It's All About the Service. No matter how good your pies are, they can be completely useless when delivered by late or rude waitstaff. Make your pizzeria known for its delicious pizzas and friendly waitstaff, and you'll be sure to come out on top.
There's certainly more to success than just these five tips, but for pizzerias, reviewing these guidelines can help to ensure that your basics are covered. Fresh ingredients, delicious pizzas, friendly faces, and a unique pizzazz to separate yourself from the competition helps to boost profits and support success.

Englishmen can't shoot straight: lessons in innovation
14 Jul 2016 | Innovation
In 1798, the British Army hired German and Austrian soldiers as sharpshooters. Informed opinion at the time was that Englishmen could not be taught to shoot accurately. A dozen years later, that had all changed and British sharpshooters, armed with rifles, were considered "the best marksmen in Europe."
Problems Create an Incentive to Change
The American Revolutionary War was a wake-up call for many young British officers. Their army was one of the best trained on the planet, but they weren't trained to fight the way the colonists fought.
The British Army was prepared to fight in formation, firing volley after volley on command. The problem was that the colonists didn't just stand and fire back. Instead, as one historian puts it, the Americans
posted behind thickets, and scattered wide in the country, frequently picked off the officer, and galled and annoyed the King's troops in their march.
The officers carried that experience back home with them and it made a difference in what they did as they rose through the ranks. One of those officers was John Moore.
By 1801, he was Sir John Moore and he hadn't forgotten the lessons he learned in America. That year his regiment was the first to be designated "light infantry" a new kind of unit that would use different tactics than the rest of the infantry.
"Light infantry" was the British term for a more independent soldier with a different mix of skills from the regular soldiers. They would not always fight in formation. They would make many important decisions on their own. That may sound like common sense now, but then not everyone thought independently-acting soldiers were a good thing.
The Social Forces in Play
In Britain, like most of the world, the structure of the Army mirrored society. There were people who were officers in the Army. They were also likely to be from the upper class of society. They had money to buy commissions and patronage. Very few officers without those advantages had successful Army careers.
The Army was set up so officers gave commands and the troops did what they were told. It made a lot of powerful people uncomfortable that a light infantry soldier would be making decisions about movement and firing his weapon without waiting for a command.
On the one hand, Britain needed to keep up with other countries, especially France, who were developing similar kinds of independent-acting soldiers. On the other hand, societal norms and Army tradition favored the old ways. New technology was part of the reason that change happened.
Technology Plays a Role
Regular British soldiers used "Brown Bess" muskets. They didn't aim them. They pointed them and they weren't very accurate. A soldier armed with a musket could hit a target up to 40 yards away, while a trained rifleman could hit a human-sized target at 200 yards. But there was a trade-off.
A trained British soldier could fire three rounds per minute with his trusty musket. Trained riflemen could only get off one shot in the same time. And the rifle required more cleaning and often couldn't stand up to field conditions. Ezekiel Baker's rifle changed that.
Rifles had been around for almost a century when Baker produced his first rifle in 1800. The Americans had used their long rifles to torment the British a couple of decades earlier. Baker's version was modelled on German rifles.
Baker's rifle was robust enough to stand up to use on the battlefield. It weighed about the same as a long rifle, but it was almost a foot shorter and a soldier could attach a sword bayonet to the rifle for close-in fighting. It also had adjustable sights to make it easier to hit targets at a distance. The Baker rifle was the breakthrough technology for the kind of soldier Sir John Moore imagined.
Moore's New Kind of Soldier
John Moore had some definite ideas about how to develop the new kind of soldier he imagined. In a time and army when flogging was the punishment for even minor offenses, he chose a more humane approach.
He taught soldiers how to read and to write. That not only made them better people, it also made them more likely to be promoted.
There was a different uniform for his "Rifles." The regular British soldier wore the red coat and white belting. Moore's Rifles wore dark green and black leather. Some historians call it the first attempt at camouflage by the British Army.
The training was different, too. Moore's troops used live ammunition. After all, you need feedback to determine if you're actually hitting your target. They designed and built moving targets for better training. Moore allowed his men to "waste ammunition" shooting at squirrels and rabbits and birds. Shooting competitions with rewards and recognition for the winners helped develop skills and camaraderie.
Sir John Moore's regiment, the 95th Rifles, are one of military history's great fighting units. They distinguished themselves in the Peninsular War and later in the campaigns leading to Waterloo.
It wasn't the technology that made that organization great. Other British soldiers were armed with the same rifles. The training was important, but other units had similar training. Technology and training are only part of the story.
The way the officers (usually from the upper classes) and rank and file worked together was different, and important. According to one history of the 95th Rifles, officers often shared the same fate and conditions as regular soldiers and often ate with them, "a practice that was unheard of at the time."
Improved technology and better training made a difference in performance. But the most important differences were driven by leadership and culture.
If you want to learn more about the 95th Rifles I recommend Mark Urban's excellent book, Wellington's Rifles: Six Years to Waterloo with England's Legendary Sharpshooters.

WindowBlinds did get an update that took care of some problems with IE 9 but I found that the WC site didn't work well with it, I had problems being able to download from the libraries. I'm just going to wait for IE 9 to come out of beta and Stardock announce that compatible problems have been worked out.
From what I understand IE 9 builds on IE 8 so I don't think you can have both. Maybe is you dual boot or have a virtual setup.
AFAIK you can always uninstall IE9, but it cannot coexist with IE8.
Sorry for the blank post. I was going to write about IE9 problems with this site and was unable to get any text to work.
I use Win7 Home Premium 32 bit OS and IE9 on one of my computers.
I have no Stardock issues, but I am seeing some interesting behaviour with Wincustomize site.
When trying to download a skin/wallpaper/icon I sometimes get vast pages of tiny text (script?) instead of the item I want.
And I am unable to type on the forums without first changing font size or in some way actioning the task bar section before attempting to type my message.
I have problems with one other internet site too.
I just installed ie9 and I like it much more than I ever did V8. Wait! I could not write this comment until I clicked on the smile, then clicked on one of the emoticons. Somehow, the action activated or I may say enable me to write this. It was even worst! After I installed IE9, the explorer wouldn't load. I had to unload windowblinds for it to load. I did not want to go to its setting and force it to ignore ie9 completely. I should NOT have to. Now I'm running windows7 stardock's free. And yes, I have the latest windowblinds installed.
Elsius...my version appears to be newer. Do you have "show pre-release" versions enabled in Impulse?
That is by design. See this thread.
Thanks CarGuy, I now have the latest version and all seems fine right now.
But some of the features such emoticons are nowhere to be seen. I also downloaded the Firefox 4 beta and I like it very much. All seem fine on FireFox 4 beta. I'll use it for now for my wincustomize needs.
Under IE9, you can't see the smiles Icon to click on and mouse hover doesn't help. If you want to write something, you must click on everything until LUCK FINDS YOU to be able to write. In Firefox 4 beta, things are smooth.
[quote who="Elsius Saint" reply="16" id="2796058"]Under IE9, you can't see the smiles Icon to click on and mouse hover doesn't help. If you want to write something, you must click on everything until LUCK FINDS YOU to be able to write. In Firefox 4 beta, things are smooth.
How is Firefox 4 beta?
The IE9 beta was great when I was using it. Faster than FF4s beta or Chromes dev channel w/ 3d accel.
Problem is...well, it isn't perfect. It's great speedwise but some pages would crash and not all flash stuff works properly. Occasionally it wouldn't load until I switched to the other version of it (32 bit or 64 bit) and back again.
I got rid of all the betas on my machine, and I'm a happier man for it. I'll wait for some final versions.
My that didn't take long. A complete about face. I am not an avid IE user at all, unless I absolutely have to. One issue was the speed but the main issue was FF is more secure. I am curious as to what prompted you to change back?
Second is IE9 is noticably faster than the alternatives, has feeds integrated (which Chrome doesn't so I had to load up IE8 a bunch anyway,) and Impulse loads up IE. It's annoying to have to use two browsers and I don't particularly feel like installing a seperate feed reader right now.
Chrome would be 100% awesome if it wasn't for the lack of feeds.
IE9 makes my eyes bleed.
I can't believe they released this to the public.


I haven't read any other books by Ms. Brown, but have heard really great things, and I was not disappointed. This was a quick read, with action, suspense, romance, and even a bit a humor thrown in as well.
I don't know what to think about Zach just yet, I feel there is much more to learn about him. I love that Avalon is strong and stands up for herself. Zach and Avalon work together well, while working on their relationship.

We used lime jello and the cup of water and half cup vodka and half cup triple- sec it is so good!!!!!! After adding the hot water, jello, and rum, and letting it sit. Well, if you have, you've heard of the Caribou Lou. Also adding Knox gelatin can add firmness and allow Jell-o shot cubes you can cut from a cookie tray and seve a tasty square cubes. They just call them shots because most people put them in shot glasses, and they're about as powerful as a shot of liquor.
How are you supposed to take the shot if the jello starts to become a solid (is that what the ingredients meant by saying to let the mixture sit? "Malibou Rum, 151, Pineapple Juice." The drink of the gangsta. Well, anyway, try the drink its delicious, and then try the jello shooter, its amazing! Take some of your favorite magic mushrooms and boil them in your jello-water for an hour, strain, then use as normal. And of course, you let them sit/set in the fridge until they're nice and firm. If you use the plastic cups, line em up on a cookie sheet or in a cake pan to put in the fridge and set. OMG ....u r so missing out if you've never done jello !! Even after we all had way too many :) there is nothing like waking up the next morning to find jello shot cups who knows where!!
6 oz Pineapple jello, boil in 1 cup water, and then add 1 more cup of a mixture of Malibu and 151 to taste. When you get ready to serve em, dip them in hot water for a few seconds. Too long and it turns back into liquid, so be quick. Oh & by the way they hit u like a freight train..if u think u need more to drink...think again! In the summertime, jello puts out special flavors: Pina Colada, Margarita, and Strawberry Daiquiri.
[I'd go light on the 151, they call it that for a reason! So you make the Pina Colada with rum, the Margarita tequila, and the Strawberry Daquiri with rum or vodka... Also, I personally favor using the little 2ox plastic solo cups, that way you actually end up with an ounce of alcohol per shot.
(the syringes are clean and sterile and no they don't have needles on them...anyone what works in hospitals/clinics should now what i'm talking about) the 35cc and 60cc ones work best!

Opinion: De Blasio's Delusion
By former Assemblymember Steven Sanders
Last week I saw Mayor Bill de Blasio on a local newscast giving an interview from the Iowa State Fair. He looked very relaxed in his shirtsleeves with no tie or jacket. I think he had just eaten a corndog, a local favorite. He seemed a million miles away from the daily cares of his actual job as chief executive of New York City. To be precise, he was about eleven hundred miles away from home.
Hizzoner was enjoying himself free from the problems of the disgraceful public housing conditions, the mass transit infrastructure woes, another police suicide, the worry about a terrorist attack in Chelsea with the discovery of what appeared at first to be improvised explosive devices. You know, some of the stuff that requires a Mayor to be on the job 24/7. But Bill de Blasio assures us that he is in communication with his staff every hour. That sort of makes him New York's first Skype Mayor.
To be sure, everyone deserves a vacation and respite from their job. But Bill de Blasio has been spending chunks of time out of the city on a regular basis for the better part of 2019. His venue of choice has been Iowa because that is the first state which will be holding a Presidential nominee contest in just five months.
So instead of focusing on the problems of New York City and rewarding the trust that the voters placed in him less two years ago, he is wooing new voters in Des Moines for his longshot presidential bid. Doing that is definitely more fun than the thankless grind of dealing with the complexities of the Big Apple and all the critics in the press and elsewhere. But governing the city in person is what he signed on to do and is what his constituents expect from him.
But back to his interview. Despite running dead last in a field of over 20 candidates with less than 1% support in the polls, Bill de Blasio remains steadfast and optimistic. He justifies his continued campaign there by saying how nicely those mid-west folks are treating him and the many people who encourage him to stay the course. So if you were planning a trip to City Hall or Gracie Mansion any time soon, don't expect to bump into the mayor.
De Blasio is buoyed by the notion that if he can make a good showing in Iowa and shock the pundits, his campaign could take off. Of course, there are some 19 other candidates with the same aspirations. Only a very few, maybe four or five, will get any boost from the Iowa Caucus next January.
As for the good folks of Iowa, they are a polite and down to earth bunch, not unlike residents of Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village who during the summer months can be found sitting on the benches shooting the breeze. Nice, friendly people who would not be rude or insult a visiting politician by telling her or him that they have no chance whatsoever and to go home.
It reminds me of Bradley Berger, an acquaintance of mine who was an engaging but novice candidate for the State Assembly back in 1976. He was preparing to run in the Democratic Primary against then-incumbent Andrew Stein who was much better known and accomplished.
One day during that summer, Bradley told me that he just finished spending a weekend afternoon walking through Stuyvesant Town and around the Oval talking to people gathered about and in the playgrounds. He remarked to me, "Steven, I really think I have a chance to win this thing! Everyone is so nice and complimentary." I thought to myself he must be delusional to mistake friendly courtesy for actual political support. When the Primary Election results came in a month later, Bradley lost in a landslide by 83% to 17%.
As an inexperienced candidate for public office, Bradley Berger could be excused for his unrealistic optimism. And as a private citizen, he was campaigning on his own time. What's Bill de Blasio's excuse?

It is obvious that our Mayor, THE WORST ONE in HISTORY has never had any intention of Mayoring this city but to run for Higher Office. He is so DELUSIONAL that he may try to run for God after this Primary season is over.

It would be terrific to see this Opinion published in the top 10 daily newspapers in Iowa. Perhaps the fine people of Iowa will see through this fraud.

Q: How to convey the jwt id token received from the Oauth flow to the mobile app? The consumer of the app server (stateless rest api) is a mobile app invoking the app server endpoints via SSL.
I want to pass the jwt id token (received from the oauth/openidconnect flow) to the mobile app so that the mobile app can pass the jwt id token in the header of subsequent endpoint requests.
I have the following options:

*

*Server side session - jwt id token is stored on the server (file system or db) and the session id is sent to mobile app via cookie. Subsequent endpoint invocations check token from session.

*Client side session - signed cookie containing the jwt token is sent to the mobile app.  Subsequent endpoint invocations check the token from cookie.

*Token based - jwt token is sent as repsome body. Subsequent endpoint invocations pass the token in header.
Each of above technique allows the app server endpoint to know who the caller is (by reading the jwt token).
Which is the secure way amongst the above options for the app server to convey the token to the mobile app?

A: The standard option is for the mobile app to receive tokens using the AppAuth pattern, according to this RFC8252 section. As you are discovering, if an API does the OAuth flow, the app cannot easily ask the API for tokens, since there is no credential that can be sent in this request (cookies cannot be issued to mobile views).
To see how this looks, see these resources:

Wyoming Trails
Jackson Trails
The 8 Best Hikes to See Fireworks
Skip the crowds and catch the festivities on the trail.
Ashley M. Halligan
Fourth of July means a lot of things: dinner on the grill, good friends, and, most of all, wild firework displays. But sometimes, we just want to skip the crowds and go find some cozy overlook up in the mountains instead.
This year, you can have pyrotechnics and trail time: Thanks to a few tucked-away places that have particularly grand Independence Day celebrations, you can hike to your own private fireworks-watching spot. Just pick one of these eight trails, sit back, and watch the show.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
2-mile Snow King Summit Trail
The Town of Jackson has a stellar fireworks display at the base of Snow King Mountain each year. But, why watch the fireworks from the base of the mountain when you can climb to 7,808 feet and watch them from above? It's a two-mile trek by way of the Snow King Summit Trail to the top, where you'll enjoy the show while looking over one of America's most charming towns.
For more information about Snow King's festivities, visit the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce.
Thomas, West Virginia
4-mile Thomas City Parks & Trails
The Thomas area is well known for a few things, in particular an iconic music venue called The Purple Fiddle and a ski resort called Canaan Valley. Spend a little time on the trail, and you'll get front-row seats to the town's fireworks display. The in-town trail connects with the old railroad grade and loops directly beneath the fireworks right in front of Thomas' main strip of local businesses. "The ash fallout practically hits you," says local Justin Doak. After the show, stop by the Fiddle for homemade soup and down-home jams.
For more information about the celebration, visit Mountaineer Days; for the Fiddle's schedule, visit The Purple Fiddle.
Farragut State Park, Idaho
18.3-mile Bernard Peak Loop
This trail is great for those who'd like to turn their excursion into a camping trip and don't mind clocking miles and taking on steep ascents in exchange for a wild view. A few miles into the ascent, hikers encounter vantage points overlooking Lake Pend Oreille. Bayview, Idaho—a small town across the lake—puts on an annual fireworks display for the Fourth. "When they pop, you get reverberations off two other mountains and colorful reflections in the lake," says local outdoorswoman Megan Habel.
For more information about 4th of July festivities, visit the Bayview Chamber of Commerce; for more trail information, visit Visit Idaho.
3.5- or 8-mile Cuyamaca Peak Trail
There are two different trailheads that'll take you to the top of Cuyamaca Peak in San Diego's Cuyamaca Rancho State Park (3.5 miles from Paso Picacho or 8 miles from Green Valley). But while this hike leads to an incredible vantage point, it's a leap of faith. "When the marine layer rolls in, it could block your view. If it doesn't, prepare to be wowed," says local Matt Ginsky. The peak is the geographic center of San Diego (and the second highest in the county), and is a near-perfect place to peep the various fireworks displays held across the city.
For more information about San Diego-area Fourth of July festivities, visit the San Diego Tourism Authority; for more trail information, visit Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.
1-mile North Slope Trail
The North Slope Trail in Lander's Sinks Canyon State Park is a steep, one-mile hike that reveals views of the Lander Valley below and the Wind River Mountains in the distance. Bonus: Lander has one of Wyoming's best Fourth of July celebrations, particularly if you don't mind getting soaked by a fire hose during their annual parade. If you'd prefer to watch the fireworks from afar, a hike into Sinks Canyon can give you a bit more privacy paired with magnificent views.
For more information about this year's festivities, visit the Lander Chamber of Commerce.
17.9-mile Spooner Summit to Kingsbury South Trail
This eastern section of the Tahoe Rim Trail is another good option for those seeking an overnight adventure. Beginning at Spooner Summit, you'll hike almost four miles to the highest point along this segment of the trail—South Camp Peak, which rises to 8,866 feet. From here, you'll have an expansive view of Lake Tahoe to the west, including Tahoe City, which has hosted a spectacular 4th of July display over the lake for 72 years.
For more information this year's festivities, visit the Tahoe City Downtown Association; for more trail information, visit the Tahoe Rim Trail Association.
Park City, Utah
3.1-mile Spiro Trail
Accessible from the base of Park City Mountain, the Spiro Trail takes hikers to a vista that overlooks the historic center of town and offers an aerial view of the fireworks launched just below. Park City's annual celebration includes a 7 a.m. pancake breakfast in City Park, followed by live music, rugby, a rodeo, and a Rotary Club barbeque before the fireworks are launched at dusk.
For more information this year's festivities, visit the Tahoe City Downtown Association; for more trail information, visit Park City Mountain.
12.4-mile Long Trail section over the summit of Camel's Hump
The 273-mile Long Trail is a classic for avid backpackers and trekkers, running from Massachusetts to the Canadian border and passing through Vermont's Green Mountains along the way. This 12.4-mile out-and-back section follows the trail to the top of the mountain where, on a clear day, you can see both Lake Champlain and Burlington thirty miles in the distance. It's a rugged, 6.2-mile climb to the top of Camel's Hump from the north side of the mountain (via the trailhead on Duxbury Road), but if you're greeted with a clear sky, Burlington's July 3rd fireworks in the distance will make for a majestic reward for your hard work. It may be a gamble, but some gambles are worth taking.
For more information this year's festivities, visit the City of Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront; for more trail information, visit Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation.

This past year, I published the product of years of historical research in Habeas Corpus in Wartime: From the Tower of London to Guantanamo Bay (Oxford University Press 2017). In the months since, I have been asked two questions more than any others: first, why I wrote the book, and second, what, if anything, modern jurists and scholars should do with the historical evidence unearthed and presented therein. It turns out that one particular chapter of the book has much to say on both of these otherwise seemingly unrelated questions, and I therefore devote my discussion here to that chapter.
To begin, a quick overview of the book is in order. Habeas Corpus in Wartime seeks to provide an original and comprehensive historical account of how the privilege and suspension of habeas corpus have functioned in wartime in the Anglo-American tradition, drawing on a wealth of untapped material to tell that story. As with so many aspects of American law, we begin our study in England, where the privilege and suspension originated and where a great deal of history sheds light upon the relationship between the two. Indeed, in Ex parte Watkins, Chief Justice Marshall wrote that these terms as used in the Suspension Clause (the Constitution's habeas provision) were "well understood" to the Founding generation, deriving as they did from English tradition.
As the book chronicles, this story remained largely consistent well through Reconstruction. Indeed, but for some significant failings on the part of President Lincoln (who problematically got out too far ahead of Congress in suspending the privilege during the Civil War), the consistent political and legal understanding of the Suspension Clause was that it prohibited the government from detaining persons who could claim the protection of domestic law outside the criminal process, even in wartime, except under the auspices of a valid suspension. The so-called "citizen-enemy combatant" recognized in the Supreme Court's 2004 decision in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, therefore, was a thing unknown to the law for most of American history. Knowing, moreover, that suspension is a dramatic emergency power, the Founding generation included strict limitations on when suspension could be declared in order to ensure that government actors would turn to this power only in the most dire of circumstances.
Given this history of the habeas privilege, how, one might ask, did the United States government detain some 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II, including over 70,000 Japanese American citizens? (Notably, the number of citizens would have been higher had United States naturalization laws not discriminated based on race—a practice that did not end until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.) One of the main reasons that I set out to write the book was to discover and tell that story. It turns out that it has a great deal to say about American constitutional law.
Second, the voices that prevailed in the executive branch were unmoved by these constitutional arguments and the facts on the ground. Their mindset is best exemplified in a statement of one senior War Department official made during debates preceding President Roosevelt's issuance of Executive Order 9066. As he viewed things, "if it a question of safety of the country, the Constitution of the United States, why the Constitution is just a scrap of paper to me." Roosevelt appears to have subscribed to the same view, issuing 9066 and giving the military carte blanche to do what it wanted with the Japanese American population on the west coast.
This brings us to the courts. We all know how this story unfolded, and the courts do not emerge as heroic. In the face of challenges to various military regulations issued under EO 9066, the Supreme Court deferred to the executive in a series of decisions that we now teach to our law students as the embarrassments that they are. (I am thinking here principally of Korematsu and Hirabayashi.) The one exception is Ex parte Endo, which effectively spurred the closing of the camps, but did so in a narrow holding that dodged all of the relevant constitutional questions surrounding the Japanese American internment and only came down after the Court tipped off the White House so that the latter could preempt the decision with a plan to close the camps.
Studying this episode in American history underscores in dramatic fashion the importance of government officials internalizing our constitutional traditions in charting the government's course, even when doing so means standing against the tide of public opinion. As Churchill once said in the context of pushing to close down the domestic internment program that Britain established during the war, "[p]eople who are not prepared to do unpopular things and to defy clamour are not fit to be Ministers in times of stress." As for the courts, their failures during this period were spectacular and call into question the common practice of deferring to the Executive on matters of national security. (On the failure point, consider Professor Eugene Rostow's observation that "[i]t is hard to imagine what courts are for if not to protect people against unconstitutional arrest.") The result: a historical precedent that sanctioned racial and ethnic discrimination, gutted the Suspension Clause, and, in the words of Morton Grodzins, gave constitutional sanction to "a policy of mass incarceration under military auspices." It was, to put it mildly, not our government's finest hour.
More generally, this episode in American history has something to contribute to the larger methodological debates in which the book's historical materials are situated and the second question that I am often asked about the relevance of this history. As with any historical study, the book implicates debates over the significance that one should give to the historical origins and "liquidation" of particular constitutional text in interpreting the United States Constitution today. One's particular interpretive methodology of course will influence significantly one's view of this matter. It is, all the same, noteworthy that the historical evidence detailed in the book reveals that the suspension model known to the Founding generation and constitutionalized in the Suspension Clause offered greater protection of individual liberty than that known under modern caselaw, and particularly under Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. Indeed, this likely explains in part why Justices Scalia and Stevens joined together in dissent in that case, arguing that the Constitution does not contemplate the "citizen enemy combatant." Curiously, Justice Thomas, an avowed originalist, disagreed and lamented that Justice Scalia's position "might . . . require one or both of the political branches to act unconstitutionally in order to protect the Nation." As the wealth of historical evidence set forth in Habeas Corpus in Wartime makes clear, there is absolutely nothing originalist about Justice Thomas's opinion in Hamdi. In this respect, the book tells a somewhat unconventional story of what historical exploration combined with an originalist perspective might unearth.
Importantly, though, one need not be an originalist to care about the history set forth in the pages of Habeas Corpus in Wartime. This is because (at the risk of stating the obvious) in law, we do not enjoy the luxury that our scientific colleagues have of running experiments in laboratories to test various hypotheses. But we do have the ability to study historical episodes that have come before, and mine from those experiences what light they may shed on the normative debates in which we are engaged today over the Constitution's meaning.
Tying all of this together, the mass detention of Japanese Americans during World War II has much to teach us about the normative stakes at issue when we interpret the Suspension Clause. Specifically, if one of the core commitments of the Constitution is the protection of individual liberty—something that I believe to be true—then the Japanese American internment counsels that we should be wary of any system in which the government may detain persons who can claim the protection of domestic law without affording them the important safeguards inherent in the criminal process. This proposition, moreover, should hold true at least where such detentions are ordered in the absence of robust debate by Congress and in the absence of a genuine and dire threat to the nation (namely, a "Rebellion or Invasion") that warrants such an extreme course. More generally, this episode in American history teaches that the executive branch is poorly-situated to police itself in the midst of war for compliance with that core commitment and that its failures on this score bring with them the all-too-real potential for enormously tragic consequences.
In other words, originalist or not, my hope is that readers of all stripes will find much of interest and contemporary relevance in Habeas Corpus in Wartime.


XML::SimpleObject::LibXML is a Perl extension allowing a simple(r) object representation of an XML::LibXML DOM object.
# create the XML::LibXML object separately.
This is a short and simple class allowing simple object access to a parsed XML::LibXML tree, with methods for fetching children and attributes in as clean a manner as possible. My apologies for further polluting the XML:: space; this is a small and quick module, with easy and compact usage. Some will rightfully question placing another interface over the DOM methods provided by XML::LibXML, but my experience is that people appreciate the total simplicity provided by this module, despite its limitations. These limitations include a minor loss of speed compared to the DOM, loss of control over node types, and protection (aka lack of knowledge) about the DOM. I encourage those who want more control and understanding over the DOM to study XML::LibXML; this module's source can be instructive, too.
