Which might not be as bad as it sounds. Via Eschaton:
WASHINGTON - Judith Miller, The New York Times reporter who has been jailed since July 6 for refusing to identify a source, has been released, The Inquirer has learned.Sound like Miller has finally agreed to testify. You have to wonder why a release from Libby now is enough to persuade her to give up the tragic heroine of democracy routine, when a previous blanket release from Libby was not. Could it have something to do with Miller freaking out in a cold cell? Did Fitzgeral convince her he was serious about putting her away for a whole lot longer? Or, in the wake of Katrina, Delay, Iraq, etc., is Miller too finally waking up to the smell of putrid Bush Co. offal?
Miller left an Alexandria, Va. jail late this afternoon, a jail official said.
She was released after she had a telephone conversation with the Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, sources said. In that conversation, Libby reaffirmed that he had released Miller from a promise of confidentiality more than a year ago, sources said.
UPDATE: The Philadelphia Inquirer quotes Libby's lawyer, Joseph Tate, saying Miller wanted to hear the release from Libby himself. Has it taken her this long to get a call from him?
Libby reaffirmed that he had released Miller from a promise of confidentiality more than a year ago, Tate said.The real question here, as in the Katrina fiasco, is this: WHERE WAS THE LEADERSHIP????
"She wanted to hear it directly from Mr. Libby," Tate said. "And he assured her that it was voluntary."
Obviously, having a cheerleader for President can only get you so far....
UPDATE 2: Editor & Publisher has statements by Sulzberger (NYT publisher), Keller (NYT editor), and Miller herself on her release. Miller will testify to the grand jury tomroow, but her testimony will be "severely limited".
Sulzberger says:
We are very pleased that she has finally received a direct and uncoerced waiver, both by phone and in writing, releasing her from any claim of confidentiality and enabling her to testify...(italics mine) which suggests they were unable to obtain the waiver in writing previously.
Miller confirms that Libby's OK was the problem:
I am leaving jail today because my source has now voluntarily and personally released me from my promise of confidentiality regarding our conversations relating to the Wilson-Plame matter. My attorneys have also reached agreement with the Office of Special Counsel regarding the nature and scope of my testimony, which satisfies my obligation as a reporter to keep faith with my sources.Bill Keller goes a little further:
At the outset, she had only a generic waiver of this obligation, and she believed she had ample reason to doubt it had been freely given. In recent days, several important things have changed that convinced Judy that she was released from her obligation.So what were these "important things"? Is this change of heart from Libby related to internecine GOP wars in the wake of Katrina and Delay, or has Rove worked out how to put the fix into the Fitzgerald inquiry?
The NYT reports that Libby gave another release ten days ago but Miller would not accept it because she suspected it had not been freely given - what's that all about?
And what about this:
Bill Keller, the executive editor of The Times, said that Fitzgerald had assured Miller's lawyer that "he intended to limit his grand jury interrogation so that it would not implicate other sources of hers."Truth be told, Miller is the lady whose terrifying front page NYT stories hyped the whole Iraq WMD story's credibility to the point where it was widely accepted (I mean, the NYT is a left-wing publication, isn't it?). This whole Plame-Wilson scandal is really just a subtext of that one massive lie. If Fitzgerald is releasing Miller from further testimony for the purpose of his own inquiry, that is one thing. But eventually, Miller must still be forced to testify about the WMD lies as well.
Indictments are expected as early as next week. Things just got a whole lot worse for Bush & Co...
UPDATE 3: As you might expect, Arianna is all over this story. Just wait till Josh Marshall wakes up...

and to do things that could last forever .. the desire that used to be a synonym for ego is perhaps one of the most important, and subtle, force for why we do not see reality as it is when it is right in your face. It is perhaps the one force that comes so natrually for us in preventing us from going with the flow of nature.
I used to see this when it comes to spiritual matters, not knowing that this is so applicable to business as well.

We Will Take Care All Your Cleaning Needs
Pressure washing or power washing is the use of spraying water under high pressure to remove loose paint, mold, algae, grime, dust, mud, chewing gum and dirt from surfaces and objects like buildings, fences, masonry, some vehicles and concrete or asphalt surfaces such as driveways or patios. The terms "power washing" and "pressure washing" are often used interchangeably, but the fact is they're two different processes. Both use water under high pressure to clean surfaces, but power washing has a heating element to heat the water and pressure washing does not. As with any cleaning process heated water cleans better. Some things should be power or pressure washed with added chemicals, like baking soda, vinegar, citric acid or commercial power washing soaps, detergents, sanitizers, or disinfectants. Here are seven other things you should know before power or pressure washing anything around your home.
What we can power wash: Use for large areas like extra-long or big driveways Use where you have extreme dirt, grease, moss, weed buildup and slick surfaces due to mold. The heated water here can loosen up stuck-on grime outdoors just like hot water cleans dishes and floors better than cold. It also kills mold and moss and prevents their quick return. Use power washers on hard surfaces that can stand up to the heat and pressure. Use for small patio, deck, or driveway areas Use for softer surfaces, like wood decks, siding, and tiled areas Use on areas like masonry, concrete and brick.
Please note before submitting your request: The Hopewell Power Washing Company offers free estimates. We are happy to meet with you at our office to show you examples of our work and discuss how your project may be a match for our capabilities and passion for excellence, free of charge. However, there is a design consultation fee if you would like to have a designer meet you at your project site, discuss your project specifically and/or prepare a design.
Tell us the nature of your inquiry so we can have the appropriate team member give you a call. We will respond to your inquiry within 60 minutes on average.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
I had my iPod on shuffle the other day and Johnny Mathis's "I'll Be Home For Christmas" came on. And my thoughts immediately turned to a snow covered Main Street, Santa Goofy passing by on his float, and the sweet smell of warm chocolate chip cookies. Then I took out the pictures of our last visit during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It reminds me of the importance of holidays, family, and how much Disney has, does, and will do in bringing us all together.
When I look at the park map and show schedules, all I can think about is sitting in cold Florida breeze, while waiting for the "Twas the Night before Christmas" show to begin and enjoying the snow flake patterns that are projected on the shop windows of Main Street as snow falls from the sky. Then your eyes are brought to the incredibly, beautifully lit Castle. My daughter's favorite part of the Party is the parade. She loves watching the floats and the unforgettable march of the tin soldiers' part of the parade. And of course, you can't pass up the complimentary cookies and hot chocolate. It is a wonderful feeling, sitting on Main Street, watching it snow, drinking hot chocolate, and listening to Christmas songs.

Britain says a roadside bomb has killed two of its soldiers in southern Afghanistan.
The country's Ministry of Defense says the soldiers had just completed a joint operation with Afghan and Danish forces in Helmand province when their vehicle hit the device. The ministry said the soldiers were due to return home in six days.
The deaths bring to 362 the number of British forces killed in Afghanistan since 2001. Britain has the second-largest foreign military contingent in Afghanistan, with about 10,000 troops.
Also Wednesday, Afghan officials said a NATO airstrike mistakenly killed a child and wounded two other civilians in the eastern province of Khost.
Local officials said coalition aircraft hit a civilian vehicle while targeting insurgents. NATO is investigating and said the airstrike targeted a leader of the Haqqani network. Two insurgents were reportedly killed and one wounded.
NATO said a civilian vehicle and two pedestrians appeared on the road at about the same moment that the airstrike hit the militants' car.
Civilian casualties caused by foreign troops have angered Afghan President Hamid Karzai and prompted apologies from the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, and U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.

Fidel Castro has proven that rumors of his death are incorrect after posting pictures and an article on Monday in Cuba's state-run press.
The former Cuban leader accused news agencies and enemies of the country of spreading "stupidities" about him, reports NBC News.
Castro specifically named a report from a Spanish newspaper last week, which claimed that he had suffered from a massive stroke that left him in a vegetative state. Castro wrote:
"Birds of bad omen! I don't even remember what a headache is."
Castro's death debunking article was published in the Communist Party's newspaper Granna and was also accompanied by photographs of the former Cuban leader walking outside on a sunny day.
Wearing a straw had and a red plaid shirt, Fidel Castro looked very much not dead, the only physical ailment apparent was a cane he used to walk. Castro added that the photos were "proof of what liars they are."
NPR notes that the former Cuban leader's column also mocked the "imperialist propaganda" that is trying to kill him. He added:
"I stopped publishing my column Reflexiones because, truthfully, it's not my role to take up pages of our press, which should be used for other things required by our country … To prove what liars they are, I gift you the pictures that accompany this article."
Rumors of Fidel Castro's death have plagued the former leader ever since March when he last appeared in public to welcome Pope Benedict XVI to the country. He also wrote his last newspaper article in June. As for how the former leader is spending his time out of the spotlight, Castro explained, "I like to write and I write. I like to study and I study."

Application Programming InterfaceApplication program interface (API), is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. The API specifies how software components should interact and are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components.
A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. When you copy and paste text from one application to another, it is the API that allows that to work.
The API allows programmers to use predefined functions to interact with the operating system, instead of writing them from scratch.

OCZ Trion 150 480GB SSD Review
Page 4 : Benchmarks: Real-World ApplicationsBy on
Benchmarks: Real-World Applications
A minor performance gain is seen in our game installation test as the Trion 150 shaves just a few seconds off the time previously set by the Trion 100. Therefore, while the Trion 150 is two seconds faster than the Trion 100, it is 10 seconds slower than the 850 Evo.
This time the Trion 150 was just 1 second faster than the previous model, while it was 2 seconds slower than the 850 Evo.
Those who regularly backup their data will be able to do so just a few seconds faster with the Trion 150 over the Trion 100. Both were considerably slower than the competition from Samsung.
Almost all SATA-based SSDs, with the exception of the Crucial BX200, deliver similar results in the 7-zip extraction test. That said, the Trion 150 was four seconds faster than the Trion 100 and just three seconds slower than the 850 Evo.
Here's how those extraction times translate into throughput. As you can see the Samsung and OCZ TLC SSDs are quite similar in performance here.

Lenses which are specifically designed to be used with their corresponding beacons. Beacons situated within various environments may need different colour lights to warn, notify or deny access to hazards in certain areas.
Features and Benefits
Various colours are available, including clear. As an example, police cars, fire engines and ambulances which use flashing lights and sirens, will have a blue lens over the beacon on their vehicle. Whereas in non-emergency applications, yellow lenses are typically placed over the beacons, such as construction.
Although primarily used to display a colour, lenses also offer added protection from dust and the elements

Skip to 0 minutes and 9 seconds We have heard at an earlier stage of our course that the free movement of persons is a core element of the European Union's internal market. As you can see on this chart, in legal terms, the free movement of persons consists of two subcategories, namely free movement for workers and freedom of establishment. As its name indicates, free movement for workers relates only to natural persons, that is, human beings like you and me. In contrast, freedom of establishment relates to both natural and legal persons. The latter are companies and firms who wish to engage in an economic activity in another state on a permanent, that is, not merely temporary or occasional basis.
Skip to 1 minute and 1 second As for natural persons, they can benefit from the freedom of establishment in order to be permanently active in another member state in a self-employed capacity. In our course, we will focus on the free movement of natural persons. It essentially means that nationals of an EU member state are free to look for and take up employment or self-employment in another EU member state just like the nationals of the host state. Notably, no quantitative limits are allowed with respect to such persons. Free movement of persons has been extended beyond the EU to certain non-Member States, namely fully to Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway through the EEA agreement and partially to Switzerland, notably through the Swiss-EU Agreement on the free movement of persons.
Skip to 1 minute and 58 seconds For Switzerland, this meant that for persons falling under this agreement, there was now a much easier regime for moving to the country than for other persons, for whom there were and still are quantitative limits. Whilst the regime of free movement appeared to be largely accepted for quite some time, more recently, increasing criticism was raised against it, both in and outside the EU. In the Swiss Federal Parliament, the Swiss People's Party, SPP, in the year 2011 submitted a parliamentary initiative in order to change the Federal Constitution. The title of this initiative was 'Stop Mass Immigration!' Its aim was to introduce the principle of autonomous control of immigration through a combination of quantitative limits and national preference.
Skip to 2 minutes and 57 seconds When the parliament did not decide in favour, the Swiss People's Party decided to launch a popular initiative instead on the same issue. This time, the party was successful. First, it succeeded in collecting the necessary 100,000 signatures and then in convincing the people of the merits of the initiative. On the 9th of February 2014, the people voted in favour with a very thin majority, namely 50.3% out of 56.57% who participated in the vote, which was, however, supported by a very clear majority of the cantons. Remember that acceptance of a popular initiative requires a double majority, both of the people and of the cantons.
Skip to 3 minutes and 57 seconds The arguments used by the SPP were essentially that an increase in the population of 80,000 persons per year through immigration is not sustainable for a country with about 8 million inhabitants, but rather puts pressure on infrastructure, land use, schools, and so forth. According to this party, Switzerland cannot cope with such growth neither in terms of quantity nor in terms of culture. The party set up a website to communicate its arguments. There, you can find pictures asserting rather plainly that because of immigration, additional need arises everywhere. Switzerland shall need more teachers, hospital beds, houses, and energy plants.
Skip to 4 minutes and 48 seconds The website of the initiative also shows that one major point was to get rid of the system of free movement as set up by the Swiss-EU Agreement since a large number of the persons moving to Switzerland do so in the framework of this agreement. The party assumed that the EU would agree to changing the agreement along the lines of the initiative, and it said that it would not be necessary for Switzerland to denounce the agreement following the vote. Up north in the UK, Prime Minister Cameron used very similar arguments as the SPP in Switzerland. He pointed to the scale of immigration into Britain, namely some 300,000 persons per year.
Skip to 5 minutes and 36 seconds He argued that this is not sustainable for a country with a population of about 65 million inhabitants, and he warned of pressure on schools, hospitals, and other public services. Initially, the prime minister advocated quantitative limits to immigration under EU law but changed course when it became clear that the EU would not accept changes to the very foundations of the system of free movement. The prime minister now stated that he supported the principle of free movement as a key part of the EU's internal market, and he demanded that the EU finds ways to allow Member States to make changes to their social security systems that helped them to deal with this issue.
Skip to 6 minutes and 26 seconds In November 2015, Prime Minister Cameron sent a letter with his demands to the president of the European Council, the top political institution of the EU. Migration is one of the issues addressed. In February 2016, the government of the UK and the other EU Member States agreed on a number of measures to accommodate the UK in the EU. Entry into force of these measures was made to depend on the UK's decision to remain part of the EU. The vote took place on the 23rd of June 2016. Since we filmed this video for the first run of our course, much has happened. To vote in the UK resulted in a narrow majority in favour of leaving the EU.
Skip to 7 minutes and 21 seconds Negotiations on the withdrawal agreement began in 2017. In November 2018, they led to a draft text which has since been the object of debate within the UK and in particular in the lower chamber of the UK Parliament, the House of Commons.
Skip to 7 minutes and 43 seconds In March 2019, when we worked on the videos for the present rerun of our course, it was not clear what would be the outcome. In other words, when filming, we did not know when and under which circumstances the UK will withdraw from the European Union. For this reason, our videos cannot reflect the most recent state of things. We have, however, updated all other course materials that you can find online.
Critique of the system of free movement
Criticism has been levelled at the system of free movement of persons both inside and outside the European Union (EU).
For quite some time, the regime of free movement of persons appeared to be largely accepted in Europe. However, more recently increasing criticism has been raised against it both in and outside the EU. In Switzerland, this led to a popular initiative against 'mass immigration'. The arguments used by the initiative are very similar to those used in the United Kingdom in the immigration debate.

Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums
Clyde, Ohio Fire Department Records
Agency History
Scope and Content
Clyde local historian Thaddeus Hurd photocopied Clyde, Ohio's fire department records in an effort to preserve the organization's history and activities. Mr. Hurd donated the photocopies to the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center.
Agency History
The Clyde Fire Department was organized in response to the March 9th, 1873 fire that destroyed a major portion of Clyde's business district. On March 17, 1873, thirty-eight residents formed the McPherson Hook and Ladder Company No. 1. The following day, Clyde Engine Company No. 1 was created with fifty-seven charter members. The companies jointly chose Charles H. McCleary as the department's chief. The department held monthly meetings in the McPherson Guard Hall in the Harkness Building. In 1877, the Clyde Fire Department sent its first delegate to the Northwestern Ohio Volunteer Firemen's Association Convention. The following year, the organization purchased its first horse-drawn steam engine. Residents created eight cisterns within the village to be used for water storage. As technology increased, the Clyde Fire Department expanded its district to include all of Green Creek and portions of Riley and York townships.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of photocopies of the department's records, including its constitution, by-laws, minutes, attendance rosters, treasurers' reports, fire and water level reports, and some Northwest Ohio Volunteer Fireman's Association memorabilia. Although incomplete, the records provide an understanding of early firefighting activities and actions used by this rural Ohio village.
