Opposing Imperialism Is Not Isolationism
Sheldon Richman
January 20, 2012
This article was written by Sheldon Richman and originally published by
The Future Of Freedom Foundation
When pundits and rival politicians call Ron Paul an isolationist, they mislead the American people and they know it.
They know it? How could they not: Ron Paul is for unilateral, unconditional free trade. He believes any American should be perfectly free to buy from or sell to any person in the world. In that sense the laissez-faire sense he favors globalization, which, applied consistently, would require a worldwide free market. Hes such a strong advocate of free trade that he objects to the worlds governments, led by the U.S. government, setting up international bureaucracies, such as the World Trade Organization, to manage trade. He thinks trade should be a totally private matter. Thats a solid classical-liberal, or libertarian, position.
So why is Paul repeatedly called an isolationist?
Apparently in todays political world, being an isolationist means opposing the U.S. governments policing the rest of the world through invasion, occupation, and war that is, militarism. The word isolationist has always suggested a fear of foreigners, and no doubt those who apply the word to Paul want to cash in on that sense. So we are left with the daffy conclusion that Ron Paul is a xenophobic, head-in-the-sand isolationist precisely because he prefers peaceful trade with foreigners rather than invasion, occupation, and demolition of their countries.
If thats what it means to be an isolationist, count me as one too.
Its easy to understand why this inappropriate label is stuck on Paul. Establishment conservatives and progressives are terrified by him and desperately want him to go away. Theyre terrified because he has done the worst thing imaginable: he has held up a mirror and reminded them of what they are.
He has shown establishment conservatives and even so-called Republican moderates (such as Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman) that they are, and long have been, apologists for empire and therefore betrayers of the republican (small-r) ideals they say they embrace. When Paul condemns past, present, and future aggressive wars (such as the one being planned for Iran); when he calls for closing Americas 900 military installations in over 40 countries and removing Americas troops from 130 countries; when he advocates an end to all economic and military aid to foreign governments (including Israels); and when he opposes wholesale violation of the Bill of Rights (see the PATRIOT Act and the National Defense Authorization Act), he is saying to his Republican rivals, You have helped destroy individual liberty by shamefully supporting the U.S. global empire, which brutalizes foreign populations, fosters an exploitative military-industrial complex, violates civil liberties, and burdens the American people with obscene debt, taxation, and Federal Reserve monetary manipulation.

5 Reasons Why Ron Paul Is The National Security Candidate

5 Reasons Why Ron Paul Is The National Security Candidate
Saman Mohammadi
January 22, 2012
Ron Paul is not simply the anti-war candidate. He is also the national security candidate. This is an important truth that is overlooked.
The wars in the Middle East have been sold to the American people as national security wars, but this is a big lie. The wars have nothing to do with Americas national security interests. So, the anti-war position is the same as the pro-national security position.
Washingtons Blog shined a light on the real reasons for Americas endless wars in the article,
Are The Middle East Wars Really About Forcing the World Into Dollars and Private Central Banking?
Ron Paul is the worlds biggest opponent of private central banking, the fiat dollar system, and the endless war on terror. His resistance has a moral dimension for sure, but his main argument is that America has not benefited from the wars either economically, militarily, or politically.
Throughout his presidential campaign Dr. Paul has repeated the point that Americas national security and economic health are being ruined by Washingtons multiple unsustainable and costly wars.
But Dr. Pauls rejection of the war on terror mythos is not the only reason why he should be considered as the national security candidate. He puts the national security of America ahead of politics and party every single time, no matter the issue. Whether the issue is a war against Iran or indefinite detention in America, Dr. Paul is consistently for the defense of Americas national security.
It is clear that Dr. Paul is the only serious national security candidate in the 2012 presidential race. Below Ive listed five issues which showcase Dr. Pauls national security credentials.
1. Dr. Paul agrees with senior members of the U.S. Military that a war against Iran is a bad idea, and with the U.S. intelligence community that Iran does not have a nuclear bomb. His political foes in his party are confusing Americas national security interests with Israels national security interests. And in doing so, they are severely undermining the economic health and security of the United States.
2. Dr. Pauls opposition to the indefinite detention provisions in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) are grounded in the belief that unconstitutional laws threaten Americas national security. Earlier this week, he
introduced legislation to repeal the section of the NDAA
that allows the military to snatch up American citizens in the night and keep them hostage in secret prisons without trial. This government power will be abused and the social fabric of America will be destroyed. As Washingtons Blog stated in an article headline,
Indefinite Detention Hurts Our National Security and Increases the Risk of Terrorism.
3. In August 2010, Admiral Mike Mullen, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said U.S. national debt poses the biggest threat to Americas national security.
Dr. Paul has done the most among political leaders in raising public awareness about the rapidly growing U.S. national debt and the risks of U.S. bankruptcy. He is the only true anti-debt candidate, which proves that he truly cares about the economic security and social well-being of America, unlike every other Republican candidate and President Obama.
On January 18, 2012, Senator Jim DeMint endorsed Ron Pauls views on foreign policy and national debt,
If we spread ourselves too thin around the world were not gonna be able to defend the homeland, particularly with the level of debt that we have right now. Its foolish for us to think that we can have military bases all over the world, spend billions of dollars when were going broke back home. It just isnt gonna happen.
4. Ron Pauls defense of Americas national security begins at the borders. He
as President he will protect Americas borders and restore the legal paths to citizenship in the United States. His pro-legal immigration/pro-border security platform is in line with the true values and national security interests of America.
5. The foundations of Americas national security are the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, especially the first amendment and the second amendment. They are currently under attack by the hijacked government, which is an attack on Americas national security. Dr. Paul will
restore the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights
, which would significantly improve the security of the United States.
America would not be America without a free press and an armed citizenry. If both were destroyed, which is a very real possibility if internet censorship and police state legislation are not resisted, then the fire of liberty that is America will be extinguished forever.

Ron Paul Trounces Santorum on Foreign Policy in CNN Debate
Jake Morphonios
Nolan Chart
January 27, 2012
On Thursday night, the four remaining GOP presidential candidates squared off in Jacksonville in the second of
two Florida debates
, hosted by CNN and moderated by Wolf Blitzer. While much of the debate time was again wasted on callow rhetoric between neo-con candidates Mitt Romney and
Newt Gingrich
, Congressman Ron Paul indoctrinated the audience with principled lessons on liberty and the proper role of government.
Paul showcased his brand of non-interventionist foreign policy in a series of exchanges with former senator
Rick Santorum
. These exchanges provided crystal clear contrasts in opposing political philosophies from which voters much choose. Each time that Paul and Santorum sparred over foreign policy, the Texas congressman pummeled the feeble foundations of Santorums unprincipled ideologies and tutored his opponents on the basics of the US Constitution (that pesky, outdated thing they would have to swear to uphold if elected president).
Wolf Blitzer addressed the following question to Congressman Paul:
What would you do as president to more deeply engage in Latin America and, more importantly, to support the governments and political parties that support democracy and free markets?
To which Paul responded:
I think free trade is the answer. Free trade is the answer to a lot of conflicts around the world. And you might add Cuba too. I think wed be a lot better off trading with Cuba. But as far as us having a military or financial obligation to go down and dictate what government they should have? I dont like that idea. I would support the people by encouraging free trade and trying to set a standard that countries in Central and South America or anywhere in the world would want to emulate.
Unfortunately, sometimes we slip up on our standards and we go around the world and we try to force ourselves on others. I dont think the nations in Central and South America necessarily want us to come down there and dictate which government they should have. I believe that with friendship and with trade you can have a strong influence.
Congressman Pauls answer reflected both his moral character as well as his deep understanding of constitutional foreign policy as intended by the Founding Fathers. Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense, is often credited as the original patriot to strongly inject into American politics the notion of non-interventionism. He argued in Common Sense of the need for the new nation to avoid the formation of alliances with other nations.

Less than One-Fifth of All Americans Favor Military or Covert Action Against Iran
Less than Half of Israelis Want to Attack Iran, and 65% Want the Entire Middle East Including Israel to be a Nuclear-Free Zone
Washingtons Blog
February 4, 2012
Preface: Roubini says that
attacking Iran would lead to global recession
. The IMF says that Iran cutting off oil supplies could
raise crude prices 30%
. War with Iran would
kill the American economy
. And see
So yes, this is a newsworthy economic and financial story.
American and Israeli Hawks Beat War Drums But the People Want Peace
the same neoconservatives
who pushed the Iraq war are now loudly beating the drums of war against Iran, neither the American or Israeli people want war.
A new United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll,
that only 13% Americans think the U.S. should take covert action against Iran such as sabotage and assassination of scientists working on their nuclear program.
Only 17% support tak[ing] military action against Iran, including bombing weapons facilities inside the country.
And most Israelis are against war with Iran as well.

Veterans, active duty to support Ron Paul with march on White House
The State Column
Monday, February 6, 2012
Veterans for Ron Paul 2012, which was founded by Adam Kokesh and Nathan Cox, will host a Ron Paul is the Choice of the Troops march on February 20th. The march, which will start at the Washington Monument and end at the White House, will celebrate Republican presidential candidate Ron Pauls popularity among active duty military and veterans.
Mr. Kokesh hopes to have 1,000 veterans marching in formation at the Ron Paul is the Choice of the Troops march. Weve got a lot of guys, especially active duty, who dont want to RSVP on the Facebook event, where weve got over 1200 RSVPd now, Mr. Kokesh wrote in an email to The State Column.
Mr. Pauls popularity among active military and veterans is underscored by his ability to garner military donations. In fact, the Texas congressman pulled in more than $150,000 from active military in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Mr. Kokesh, who served in the Marines, posited that Mr. Paul is the only Republican candidate worthy of support from active military and veterans. Those of us who are willing to put our lives on the line for this country want a commander-in-chief who is going to be decisive, put Americas security first, and only send troops into battle with a clear moral imperative, Mr. Kokesh professed.
Manchester Union Leader publisher Joe McQuaid slammed Mr. Pauls foreign policy views in a scathing op-ed back in December. While his domestic libertarian views are quite attractive to some voters fed up with politics as usual, it is Pauls position on issues of our national security that are truly dangerous, Mr. McQuaid argued.
This assertion is only possible from people who are so detached from reality as to not realize what war is, Mr. Kokesh posited.
According to the events Facebook page, the organizers will require proof of military service from those who want to participate in the march.

Active Duty Troops to March on White House
Kurt Nimmo
Prison Planet.com
February 14, 2012
One thousand veterans and
active duty troops
will shatter the corporate media hoax that insists members of the American military do not support Ron Paul due to his opposition to the unconstitutional forever war agenda of the establishment.
Despite this myth, the New York Times was obliged to admit reality last December, even if the admission wasnt featured on the front page of the newspaper but instead posted on a remote area of its website.
Representative Ron Paul, the congressman who favors the most minimalist American combat role of any major presidential candidate and who said all of the above quotes, has more financial support from active duty members of the service than any other politician,
Timothy Egan
As of the last reporting date, at the end of September, Paul leads all candidates by far in donations from service members. This trend has been in place since 2008, when Paul ran for president with a similar stance: calling nonsense at hawk squawk from both parties.
The troops also and not surprisingly
support Paul over Obama
, who said he would end the wars and bring the troops home and instead expanded the unjustified, illegal and unconstitutional wars started by his predecessor.
The pie chart below shows the break down of support.
The February 20th march on the White House by veterans and active service members in support of Paul is appropriately dubbed Ron Paul is the Choice of the Troops. The event will begin at noon with a rally at the Washington Monument followed by a march at 2 PM in military squad formation to the White House where a special ceremony to honor troops who have died since the election of Obama will be held.

Get Behind Ron Paul To Stop Iran War
Saman Mohammadi
February 24, 2012
Stopping an American/Israeli war against Iran should be the number one global priority.
But stopping the demons of war who have captured our governments and control mass media communication outlets is a tough and almost impossible task.
The Western Media is once again showing its wolfish nature by lining up the cattle to give their lives, minds, and spirits to the engine of destruction and death that is the American and Israeli war machine.
But a war with Persia wont be like a war with Iraq. If this war is started, which is what Israel and Washington are trying to do at this moment, it will end with the use of nuclear weapons on Iranian cities. Millions of innocent Iranians will vanish into atomic dust for no good reason. That is what the war criminals and bloodthirsty maniacs in Tel Aviv and Washington desire. They are consumed by madness and dreams of mass death.
But there is always an alternative to war. The Beast of War is only worshiped by criminal psychopaths and their brainwashed cattle who consume poisonous lies and propaganda as if it were pure milk.
99.9 percent of humanity would want an immediate end to war if they were shown the truth about the baseless rationale for the war on terror and the war against Iran.
Washingtons Blog asks:
Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Kony Is Dead, Stop Obamney 2012 Instead
Saman Mohammadi
March 15, 2012
The 2012 U.S. presidential race is shaping up to be a struggle between Goldman Sachs candidate Mitt Romney and fellow Goldman Sachs candidate Barack Obama on one side, and anti-Goldman Sachs candidate Ron Paul on the other side.
Former Goldman Sachs executive director Greg Smith described the culture of his former firm as toxic and destructive, in a
New York Times op-ed
on Wednesday, March 14, 2012.
The prime motivation that drives Goldman Sachs employees is scamming their customers, says Smith. It makes me ill how callously people talk about ripping their clients off, he writes. Over the last 12 months I have seen five different managing directors refer to their own clients as muppets, sometimes over internal e-mail.
Presidential candidates Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama take the same elitist view towards their voters and the American people as a whole. Like Goldman Sachs executives, they dont see Americans as their fellow citizens, but as sheep to be duped, and as lambs to be skinned alive and eaten for dinner.
The only presidential candidate who respects the intelligence and maturity of the American people is Dr. Ron Paul. In a
recent speech
, Dr. Paul emphasized the fact that he is not a Goldman Sachs candidate, unlike Romney and Obama. I am not the Goldman Sachs candidate, said Dr. Paul.
He added: President Eisenhower warned us of the military-industrial complex, and I am not the candidate for the military-industrial complex. And I am not the first choice of Ben Bernanke or the Federal Reserve System. And Im certainly not the choice of those social and economic authoritarians who want to run our lives and run the economy.
Many of Ron Pauls financial contributors are in the military. Barack Obama is the commander-in-chief in name only. Ron Paul is the military candidate, and the president in the hearts and minds of the military. Dr. Paul is also the
national security candidate
. He is not an isolationist, but a strong and wise fighter who believes wars should be declared, fought extremely hard, and won.
Ron Pauls old-school model of warfare is out of fashion today because the warriors of the current generation have been brainwashed to believe that the perpetual warfare model is tough, brave, and manly. But that is false. Only weak cowards Lindsey Graham, Joseph Lieberman, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, Richard Perle, Scooter Libby, Donald Rumsfeld, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama support the idea of perpetual warfare.
Real men support real wars, not psy-op wars that go on forever because every week a new mythical enemy is invented and introduced to the American people as the greatest threat to humanity since Adolf Hitler.
War has become the enemy of mankind. As John F. Kennedy said before he was assassinated by the shadow controllers of the CIA, Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.
Dr. Paul is carrying the torch of peace that was seized from President Kennedys hands and hidden away in the dark corners of history. He is bringing the torch back into the light of consciousness, but the power elite in Washington is mocking him, ridiculing his foreign policy ideas, and
cheating him from electoral victories

"The Costs of War" - by Ron Paul

The Costs of War
Ron Paul
May 1, 2012
This month Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki announced the addition of some 1,900 mental health nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers to its existing workforce of 20,590 mental health staff in attempt to get a handle on the epidemic of suicides among combat veterans. Unfortunately, when presidents misuse our military on an unprecedented scale and Congress lets them get away with it the resulting stress causes military suicides to increase dramatically, both among active duty and retired service members. In fact, military deaths from suicide far outnumber combat deaths. According to an article in the Air Force Times this month, suicides among airmen are up 40 percent over last year.
Considering the multiple deployments service members are forced to endure as the war in Afghanistan stretches into its second decade, these figures are sadly unsurprising.
Ironically, the same VA Secretary Eric Shinseki was forced to retire from the Army by President Bush for daring to suggest that an invasion and occupation of Iraq would not be the cakewalk that neoconservatives promised. Then Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, who is not a military veteran, claimed that General Shinseki was wildly off the mark for suggesting that several hundred thousand soldiers would be required to secure post-invasion Iraq. Now we see who was right on the costs of war.
In addition to the hidden human costs of our seemingly endless wars are the economic costs. In 2008, Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz wrote The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict. Stiglitz illustrates that taking into account the total costs of the war, including replacing military equipment and caring for thousands of wounded veterans for the rest of their lives, the Iraq war will cost us orders of magnitude greater than the 50 billion dollars promised by the White House before the invasion. Add all the costs of Afghanistan into the mix, wrote Stiglitz, and the bill tops $7 trillion.
Is it any wonder why our infrastructure at home crumbles, healthcare is more expensive and harder to come by, and unemployment together with inflation continue their steady rise? Imagine the productive power of that seven trillion dollars in our private sector. What could it have done were it in private hands; what may have been discovered, what diseases might have been cured, what might have been built, how many productive jobs created?
With the bills coming due for our decade of reckless military action, the cuts rarely come from the well-connected military industrial complex with their lobbyists and powerful political allies. In President Obamas 2013 budget, troop strength is to be cut significantly while enormously expensive and largely superfluous weapons systems emerge essentially unscathed. As defense analyst Winslow Wheeler wrote this month, costs of the next generation fighter, the F-35, will increase by another $289 million. This despite the fact that the fighter is badly designed and already outdated, a virtual flying piano writes Wheeler.
The military contractors building monstrosities like the F-35 are politically connected and thus protected. Unfortunately, returning military veterans are less so. In the same 2013 budget, the White House proposes to increase medical and pharmaceutical costs paid by veterans while reducing their cost of living increases. And how many years of increasingly alarming mental illness and suicide statistics has it taken for the modest increase in resources to be made available?
Those who predicted the real costs of our decade of global military conquest were ridiculed, scoffed at, and fired. History has now shown us that much of what they warned was correct. America is clearly less secure after a decade of unnecessary wars. It is more vulnerable and closer to economic collapse. Its military is nearly broken from years of abuse. Will we come back to our senses?

"Enduring Commitments Abroad" - by Ron Paul

Enduring Commitments Abroad
Ron Paul
May 7, 2012
Last week President Obama made a surprise pre-dawn trip to Afghanistan to mark the one year anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden and to sign a document further extending the US presence in that country. The president said, were building an enduring partnership As you stand up, you will not stand alone. What that means in practice is that the US will continue its efforts to prop up the government in Afghanistan for another ten years beyond the promised withdrawal date of 2014.
To those of us who believe the US should leave Afghanistan immediately, the president retorted, We must give Afghanistan the opportunity to stabilize. But how long will that take, when we have already fought the longest war in our nations history at incredible human and economic cost to the nation and no end is in sight?
There is little evidence of any sustained increase in stability in Afghanistan and, in fact, April saw the loss of 34 more American troops and an escalation of violence and upheaval. Within 90 minutes of the presidents departure, seven more people were killed in Kabul by a suicide bomber. It is clear that our presence in that country is not creating any real stability. With Osama bin Laden dead and the al Qaeda presence in Afghanistan virtually non-existent, we are reduced to nation-building in a nation where there is no real nation to build.
We should ask ourselves why Obamas trip was a surprise visit rather than a normal state visit. The reason is that after ten years it is still far too dangerous to travel in or out of that country. Does that not speak much more loudly than the presidents optimistic words about the amazing progress we have made in Afghanistan?
What does our enduring commitment mean? Ask the South Koreans, where the United States has maintained an enduring commitment of US troops more than fifty years after hostilities ended. By some estimates the United States taxpayer is saddled with a 40 billion dollar annual price tag for our enduring commitment to maintaining a US military presence in Korea. Polls suggest that particularly younger Koreans are tired of the US military presence in their country and would prefer us to leave. The same is true for the residents of Okinawa, who have argued strongly and with some recent success for American troops to leave their island.
The Soviets believed the road to their goal for a universal form of government ran through Afghanistan. They were also wrong and paid an enormous price. However, after nine years and 15,000 Soviet lives lost, the communist regime in Moscow realized its mistake and withdrew from that country. The Soviet withdrawal was complete in early 1989. The Soviet Union by that time had further plunged into economic crisis, fueled in great part by its commitment to maintain a global empire of client states. Later that year, the Soviet world began crashing down, with first the collapse of Eastern European regimes and then the Soviet Union itself. That collapse produced an economic calamity for the successor states from which most have not yet fully recovered. It is not too late for the United States to learn what the Soviets discovered too late, back in 1989. Mr. President: the time to leave Afghanistan is today, not in 2024.

Lindsey Graham: Ron Pauls Policies A Threat to America
Daniel McAdams
LRC Blog
June 13, 2013
So said the totalitarian kommissar from South Carolina when asked by Slate whether donating to Ron Pauls campaigns should automatically disqualify someone from getting a security clearance.
Here is the exchange:
He [Senator Graham} wondered whether young libertarian types could be trusted to serve in classified positions when they proved that they werent keen on the strategy. I asked him whether Snowdens donations to Ron Paul were the sort of warning signs vetters should have looked out for.
No, no, said Graham. I think people that give donations to Ron Paul are exercising their right to participate in the political process. Ron Paul isnt a threat to America. His policies are.
How far a leap is it from the mentality that the philosophy of liberty is a threat to America to calling for the gulag? Those who do not agree with Grahams attraction to perpetual war overseas and a police state at home are a threat to America. Not opponents in the debate: a threat. When a Senator labels something a threat to America one should not be so naive to believe that he does not have the power to deal with that threat.
(Thanks to Chris Rossini)
Lindsey Graham In Essence Calls Ron Paul A Threat to America

Graham called Ron Pauls policies a threat, but said Ron Paul was not a threat? What sophistry! Paul is the man expounding the policies. He is therefore, delivering the so-called threats, according to Graham. No, Senator, you cannot wiggle out of it. You essentially said that Ron Paul was a threat to America. You need to apologize. In either event, you were wrong. What is a threat?
- A statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not : the family has received death threats
- A menace of bodily harm, such as may restrain a persons freedom of action
Ron Paul himself has made no such statements. His policies also are not stated intentions of the type defined as threats.
Senator Graham, your remarks are disgraceful. I think you should apologize to Ron Paul.

Controller Wendy Greuel released her latest audit of the City's emergency preparedness, following up on a 2008 review which criticized the City's lack of a clear vision or strategic plan to respond to a major natural or man-made disaster. Four years later, Greuel found that although some progress has been made in creating a comprehensive disaster response, the City still has a long way to go to resolve the red-flags that were raised by the previous audit.
"Los Angeles is vulnerable to a multitude of disasters from earthquakes, mudslides and fires, to terrorist and other man-made threats and we need a world-class response plan to fulfill our most important obligation of ensuring the safety of all Angelenos," said Greuel. "I urge the Mayor and Council to take a hard look at my audit and implement its recommendations."
The report concludes that nearly half of the Controller's previous recommendations have not been implemented, with 22 of 56 recommendations still partially or not implemented at all. Most notably, the City's Emergency Management Department and each of the five departments reviewed for this audit, including the Airport, Port, Convention Center, Department of Transportation and Recreation and Parks still need to strengthen inter-agency cooperation.
Additional findings from the report include:
* The City has not developed a comprehensive plan for sheltering persons in the event of a major disaster or emergency incident, and many park facilities that would serve as shelter sites do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act nor have they been assessed for seismic safety;
* Little progress has been made toward developing a system for identifying and locating the most vulnerable people during an emergency, developing suitable shelter infrastructure, or for ensuring availability of specialized equipment and other support;
* The economic recession and resulting budget reductions have impacted the City's ability to effectively fund staff resources to coordinate emergency preparedness activities or effectively conduct training and exercises, which could be exacerbated by the possibility that substantial Federal and State grant funds could be curtailed; and
* The Emergency Management Department does not assess or oversee department efforts to identify, prioritize, and mitigate facility and infrastructure hazards, diminishing the City's ability to strategically fund facility and infrastructure improvements that would improve emergency preparedness.
Additional recommendations that still need to be implemented from the 2008 audit include:
·Altering the Administrative Code to vest the Emergency Management Department with enough authority to effectively coordinate citywide preparedness;
·Establishing a process to prioritize mitigation efforts across departments and standardize threat assessments;
·Developing a long term strategy for sustaining emergency management activities in the face of diminishing Federal and State resources.
However, some actions have been taken to improve the City's preparedness efforts including establishing a new Emergency Operations Center to serve as the focal point for coordination of the City's emergency planning, training, response and recovery efforts. The City has also entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the American Red Cross to provide a collaborative framework for emergency planning and response.
Controller Greuel has conducted more than 50 audits and uncovered more than $130 million that the City has lost to wasteful spending, fraudulent activity and abuse of city resources.

Swiss meringue and Italian buttercream for cakes/cupcakes
I'm going to give one of these a try these weekend, just purchased a candy thermometer (wish me luck).
I've googled for this answer but couldn't come up with the exact info I'm looking for.
I know the buttercreams can be refrigerated or frozen, but if I'm making them for cupcakes and bringing them to work the next day, do I keep them at room temperature, or in the fridge?
Hoping someone knows the answer.
(I've tried the regular buttercream and finding it too sweet and grainy. If I lessen the icing sugar, it doesn't give the right consistency for making swirls, if I beat the mixture more, it becomes too thin)
Here are some pictures at my very 1st attempt at decorating cupcakes (I need more practice)
You can either put it in the fridge or leave it out room temp.. I find if you leave it out for too long then it looses its shape a little but not much. If you have it in the fridge, just make sure to bring it back to room temp before serving or it will taste like cold butter. For myself, I left it out.
My rule when using SMBC is I store my decorated cakes and cupcakes in the fridge overnight, but take them out a few hours before they are to be eaten, so the icing comes to room temperature again. I tell everyone they can leave their cake out during the party, but refrigerate it when they are done eating it.
Can anyone answer this question for me though? I freeze any left over Swiss Meringue Buttercream to use again later. Sometimes I want to reuse it, I let it thaw, mix it up again, and then find I didn't need it afterall. Can it be refrozen a second time? I've been throwing it away since I am not sure, but it ends up being such a waste if I didn't need it. I sure would appreciate any advice.

Cass county has been designated as one of 22 "Priority Counties" by the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety for the 2009 fiscal year.
That designation puts agencies such as the Cass County Sheriff's Department and Plattsmouth Police Department first in line for funding assistance with the goal of reducing fatal and serious injury crashes.
The Cassgram reports that the grants zero in on the traffic safety areas of occupant protection, youth driving, alcohol impaired driving and/or speed.
Higher incidences of speeding and motorists not wearing seatbelts were the two major factors in the designation of Cass as a "Priority County."
The Cass County rates exceeded the state averages in each of those two categories, according to 2007 statistics.

FS/FT: Built V8
I have a 1971 olds 350 rocket that has been completely built and gone through professionally. The only things that are not new are the block and head castings.
The heads have had larger valves installed, and ported and polished. The intake is a performer rpm that has been port/flow matched to the heads. It has a performer rpm camset. It has been bored to make it a 355. The pistons are federal mogul w-31 spec high compression pistons. The rods are larger as well. The timing set is all new, the crank is brand new
And the rotating assembly has been balanced. I have twice into it what I am asking, but all offers will be considered.
I am open to offers, I am into all kinds of things. Anything for jeeps, full size dodge, or Subaru. Willing to trade for vehicles as well. Pretty much trade for any Subaru, decent daily driver, BMW e30, VW s, old rat rod or hot rod cars, muscle cars/trucks, manual trans cars, anything fun. Maybe another jeep, never can have too many.
Can throw in a Holley 750 Polished carb as well
ALSO HAVE THE MATCHING TH350 Transmission
Just throw some offers my way, worst I can say is no, politely.

Fish and chips find: The newly opened Johnny's Seafood and Bistro
Some diners prefer fried fish with a crunchy coating. Others prefer the puffy texture of a beer batter. At the newly reopened Johnny's Seafood and Bistro, diners get both:
Stuff your face: 18 trucks rally Sunday for Tacoma's Food Truck Fest
As a paid belly for this newspaper, I've spent countless hours traversing every pocket of Pierce County sniffing out, hunting down and what can loosely be described as "stalking" food trucks.
Big on banana: Pudding made right at Corina, Lizzie Lou's Too and Southern Exposure
Baked into bread might be ideal for winter, but come summer, I want my bananas in a pudding, preferably layered with fresh-sliced bananas and Nilla Wafers (whole or crushed, I'm not picky). I've found three different puddings worth exploring around the South Sound. Take a look:
Sip on this: Summery cocktails from Hilltop Kitchen and Smoke + Cedar
With summer heating up, so is my thirst for cocktails. Recently, I encountered two lounges with cocktails worthy of your attention. My first stop was Smoke + Cedar for the smoky creations of Dean Shivers, lead bartender at the new Tacoma restaurant. My second stop was Hilltop Kitchen, the Tacoma...

Now open: Restaurants from Parkland to Tacoma, serving Hawaiian food, barbecue and more
Well, the wait is over. Four restaurants have opened in neighborhoods from Parkland to Tacoma. Find casual Hawaiian fare (loco moco plate, anyone?); wood-tinged barbecued meats; ice cream in fanciful flavors and gourmet hot dogs paired with the region's best craft beer list.
Stuff your face: Taste of Tacoma is this weekend
Find the pants with that stretchy waistband. Taste of Tacoma, which starts today at Point Defiance Park, isn't a gourmet food gathering, or even an event featuring much in the form of Tacoma restaurants.

The Red Hot in Tacoma has opened in its expanded location.
Five-buck lunch: Great sandwich find at Gyro Zone
Cheap, filling, no more than five bucks. That's my must-have list for a weekday lunch. Today's quest for a good deal took me to Gyro Zone, a casual cafe in University Place that will celebrate its first year of business July 20.
Burger lust: Chalk Talk Bistro in downtown Tacoma
My most recent burger journey took me to the newly made over Mary's Burger Bistro in downtown Tacoma. Now called Chalk Talk, the burger joint got a dining room face-lift with chalkboard walls for doodling and switched from griddled to flame-broiled burgers.

Mac Basics: The Finder
The Finder in OS X provides you access to your files and folders.
Learn about the Finder, how to get around in the Finder, and how to find your files and folders using the Finder.
(This article applies to OS X Lion and Mountain Lion. For Mac OS X v10.6 information, see this article instead.)
Finder windows
The Finder allows you to visually access practically everything on your Mac, including applications, hard disks, files, folders, and DVDs. You can use the Finder to organize all your files and folders as you want, search for stuff anywhere on your Mac, delete things you don't want, and more.
To see your files, click the Finder icon in the Dock, then click "All My Files" in the sidebar.
Finder windows include a sidebar on the left side. Items are grouped into categories: favorites, shared, devices—just like the Source list in iTunes. The favorites portion contains favorite links to folders which includes Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, AirDrop, and the Applications folder. The shared portion contains computers that are connected to your computer though the network. The device portion contains mounted and accessible volumes you have, such as a hard disk, USB flash drive, network volume, DVD, and so forth.
- Window close, minimize and zoom buttons. To close the window, click the round, red button in the upper-left corner. If you don't want to close the window but want it out of your way, click the round, yellow button to minimize the window to the Dock. If a window is full of stuff, you can resize it by dragging the lower-right corner to make it bigger, or click the round, green button to maximize the window's size.
- Finder window View buttons:
- Icon view - Used to display the contents of your folder as a series of icons. In Icon view, you can view live icon previews that you can use to thumb through a multipage document or watch a QuickTime movie.
- List view - Used to display your folder in a spreadsheet-style manner. Each folder can be expanded by clicking on the disclosure triangle just to the left of the folder. You can easily sort by file name, date modified, and so forth. Choose Show View Options from the View menu to add / remove attribute columns. You can change the sorting from ascending order to descending order and back again by clicking on the attribute column title.
- Column view - Used to display the hierarchy of your folders where each column represents a folder.
- Cover Flow view - Used to display the contents of your folder just like the Cover Flow used in iTunes. You can see live previews of images, documents and movies, and can thumb through documents and movies.
- Action Menu - Quick access to Finder functions for highlighted items, such as Get Info, Move to Trash, and Services.
- Item Arrangement button - In any view, you can organize the window by clicking the item arrangement button and choosing one of the ways to group items.
- Search Field - Start typing a word or phrase and Spotlight will search your Mac for any matches.
- Right pane - The contents of a selected folder are shown in this pane.
- Pane edge - Drag to resize.
- Devices - A device connected to your computer, such as a DVD, USB device, or your Time Machine backup disk.
- Sidebar - Items are grouped into categories: Favorites, Shared, and Devices—the top portion has Favorites which contains quick access to All My Files, Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures.
- Back / Forward buttons - As you move to different places in the Finder window, you can use the back button to return one step back and the forward button to go forward.
The contents of the selected folder or volume appear in the right pane. Depending on what view your Finder window is set to, this pane may look a little different from ours, our window above is shown in Icons view. In Icons view, you can navigate by double-clicking folders to view the contents inside.
Viewing a window as a list or columns
If you'd like to change how folder and volume contents appear in the right pane, click one of the view buttons in the toolbar (item 2 above). For example, when you click the list view button, the Finder window transforms into this:
List view enables you to see more content in the window than icons view, and displays some extra file and folder information, such as the last date the item was modified, the file size, and what kind of item it is. As with Icons view, you can navigate through your stuff by simply double-clicking folders until you find what you're looking for.
If you'd rather see your stuff displayed in a more hierarchical fashion, click the Columns view button. In Columns view, the right pane splits into multiple columns to display your computer's file and folder organization. Instead of double-clicking folders to see what's inside, select a folder in any column, click on it once, and its contents will appear in another column to its right. If you really start digging down deep into your folder, you can drag the bottom-right corner of the Finder window to expand it and see how many layers you've traveled.
Getting around
When you click All My Files, all files and folders on your computer that you have created or downloaded, such as documents, photos, music, and movies are displayed in a categories list according to the types of files.
The Applications folder contains all the applications installed on your Mac. It also includes a Utilities folder, with apps that are designed to support different functions of your Mac.
When you put stuff on your desktop, technically it's stored in your user account's Desktop folder, even though it appears on your desktop. When you bring music into iTunes, your music files get stored in the iTunes folder in your user's Music folder. Likewise, iPhoto stores pictures in the Pictures folder and iMovie stores movies in the Movies folder. You can get quick access to your folders from any Finder window's sidebar.
The Users folder stores all the content for each user account on your Mac; each user has a separate Home folder that's named after his or her user account name. The Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures in the favorites section of the Sources list are subfolders within your Home folder.
Find stuff fast
You can find stuff quickly using the search field in the Finder window. This field uses the Spotlight technology to scour the disk volume you select. For more information about using it, see Spotlight. Combine Cover Flow with Spotlight and you've got an amazingly powerful search tool. Use your mouse pointer and hover over a file to shuffle through them visually.
Just start typing in the search field, and Spotlight dynamically displays results in the Finder window and search suggestions will pop-up below the search field that match your criteria as you type. You can choose where you want Spotlight to look by clicking on an item in the header, such as Servers, This Mac, Home, and more, that appears just below the search field in the Finder window. Spotlight will scour the location you select and organize its search results by kind.
Search tokens
The Finder includes tokens—a smart way to filter your searches. When you select a suggestion, a token is created. Instantly your search is filtered, and you see only the files that meet those criteria. You can change the scope of the token by clicking the arrow. If you want to narrow your search even more, you can use multiple tokens together.
Search for specific file types: For example, if you wanted to find all the JPEG (.jpg) images on your Mac, type .jpg in the search field, and you'll immediately see results pop into the window. Click This Mac in the header to find all JPEGs on your entire hard disk. Not only will Spotlight display thumbnails, small images, of your JPEG images, it'll also list other things that match your criteria, such as documents that contain the word ".jpg" in them. You can then access the file right from that Finder window.
Additional Information
Tip: Want to learn how you can customize the Finder window for your needs? Be sure to check out Modify your windows.

Crusaders On the Road for a Pair of Non-Conference Matches
Tuesday, October 03, 2006THIS WEEK: Valpo at Northwestern (Wednesday, 4:00 p.m.) & Valpo at IPFW (Sunday, 12:00 p.m.)
THIS WEEK'S MATCHES: After playing five of their last six at home, the Crusaders, ranked ninth in the Midwest Region, are on the road this week against Northwestern and IPFW. The Brown and Gold are 1-2 on the road this season, but 6-4 overall, matching last season's win total, three shy of a program record.
SCOUTING NORTHWESTERN: The Wildcats spent much of the early season ranked in the top 25 nationally after getting off to a blistering 7-1-0 start. But the last three matches have seen Northwestern struggle to only one win, dropping back-to-back Big 10 matches. In Evanston, the Wildcats are 3-1, losing 2-1 to Penn State in their last home match one week after opening the conference season with a win over Ohio State. David Roth is Northwestern's leading scorer, entering Wednesday's action with five goals and three assists on the season, the only Wildcat with more than 10 points this year. All-time, the Crusaders and Wildcats have matched up 13 times dating back to 1985, with Northwestern holding a 9-4 advantage. The two last faced each other in 2002 when Valpo pulled the upset in Evanston, winning 2-0.
SCOUTING IPFW: It hasn't been a pleasant 2006 for Head Coach Terry Stefankiewicz and the Mastodons. IPFW lost 10 straight matches to start the year before winning Sunday at home against Saint Joseph's. The Mastodons did not get on the board until the fifth match of the year, losing four straight to open the season by a combined score of 20-0. IPFW has lost matches this year by ugly scores of 6-0, 7-0, 9-2 and 5-0, but have played a very tough schedule that includes three Mid-American Conference matches, and only three contests at home. Sunday against Saint Joe's, Justin Sommer tallied the match-winner in the 70th minute, and he is tied for the team lead with three points this year. Valpo and IPFW have met 11 times, with the Crusaders taking eight of those matchups, including a 4-0 win at Eastgate Field last year.
LAST WEEK: The Crusaders rebounded nicely from a loss at Centenary, knocking off Mid-Con preseason favorite Oakland 1-0 at Eastgate Field. The win pushed Valpo into a first place tie in the conference with six points (2-1-0) and marked the second straight regular season matchup between the two Valpo won by a 1-0 score. The win also served as a bit of revenge for Valpo, who was knocked out of the 2005 Mid-Continent Conference Tournament in the semifinals by the regular season champion Grizzlies.
SHUTOUT SCHWARZ RETURNS: For the second time in three career Mid-Con starts freshman keeper Ryan Schwarz earned a shutout, stopping three shots in Saturday's 1-0 win over Oakland and for his effort, Schwarz was named the Mid-Continent Conference's Defensive Player of the Week. Overall this season Schwarz has four shutouts, matching Jeff Oleck's rookie record set in 2002. The freshman is also only one shy of Oleck's one-year-old Division I single-season shutout record and two away from the program shutout mark of six set by Kevin Hughes in 1987. Schwarz doesn't just get shutouts either, as the Rockford native ranks 16th in the country in saves/match (5.20) and has played every second of his rookie year between the posts for the Crusaders.
ALL HE DOES: Is score match winners, apparently. Freshman forward Steve Shively has shown an affinity for the big goal early in his Crusader career, making each of his three goals this season a match winner. Shively's third came in Valpo's last match, Saturday against Oakland when the rookie pounded home a rebound to break a scoreless tie in the second half. Shively also scored winners in the first two matches of the season, tallying the first Crusader goal of the year against DePaul in an eventual 2-0 win and ending Valpo's second match with a double-overtime rebound marker against Evansville. And the freshman is just picking up where he left off as a high schooler when he won the Indiana State Title match in for Indianapolis' North Central when he broke a tie with a goal in the final minute.
FEAST OR FAMINE: While the Brown and Gold do have four shutouts this season, they've still also allowed 20 goals in the remaining six matches. In Valpo's four losses, they've allowed 14 goals and the Crusaders gave up four goals in a 5-4 (2ot) win August 27 against Evansville. In fact, no Valpo opponent has scored exactly one goal in any match, with only two teams, UC-Davis and Cleveland State, who got on the scoreboard scoring just twice.
KEEP SCORING: The Crusaders have yet to be shutout this season and rank 24th nationally with a 2.1 goals/match average. Valpo's 21 goals this year are only six fewer than the team scored all of last season, a total that ranked ninth for a single-season in school history.

Cross country
n Sycamores honored — The Indiana State men's and women's teams have received the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division I All-Academic status for the 15th time in the last 19 years, according to an announcement Tuesday.
The ISU women received their 18th recognition in the past 19 years with a team grade-point average of 3.47. The only year that the Sycamores did not receive the award was 2004 when they did not compete at the regional level.
Drake was the top school in the Missouri Valley Conference, coming in at 27th with a 3.519 GPA. Illinois State was 37th with a 3.49 GPA and Indiana State 41st out of the 200 teams honored.
The ISU men received their 15th recognition in the past 19 years with a 3.2 GPA, which ranks 66th out of the 145 institutions honored. Southern Illinois was the top Valley team with the eighth-best GPA (3.477). Indiana State was 66th overall.
To be eligible, a team must compete in the regional championships and have a team GPA of 3.0 or higher.
n Pole vaulter, sprinter sign with ISU — Two more student-athletes recently signed their national letters of intent to compete for the Indiana State men's team, beginning with the fall 2013 season, according to coach John McNichols.
One of the top male pole vaulters to ever attend Indiana State, Kyle Johnston (Penn), is part of a vaulting family that includes his father Robb, the 1982 Indiana state champ, and his grandfather Jim, the 1954 Indiana state champion.
Johnston continues that legacy as he won the 2012 Indiana state title by clearing 16-feet-1, won the 2012 Midwest Meet of Champions by clearing 16-9 and placed eighth at the USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships by clearing 15-11.
Sprinter Carl McQuay (Lafayette Jeff) also has signed his national letter-of-intent to compete for the Sycamores. McQuay competed in three events at the Indiana State outdoor championships last year as a junior as he placed 12th in the 200 meters, eighth in the long jump and fourth as a member of the Lafayette Jeff 4x400 relay. He also competed at state as a sophomore in the 100 (19th), 200 (13th) and as part of the 4x100 relay (23rd).
A potential multi-event athlete for the Sycamores, McQuay has a personal-best 10.93 seconds in the 100, 21.87 in the 200, 6-0 in the high jump and 22-5 1/2 in the long jump.
n Oblong wins — Illinois boys high school basketball games were played Tuesday and Wednesday.
At Greenville, Breese Central defeated Robinson 56-54. Breese Central will play Teutopolis for the sectional title.
At Altamont, Oblong defeated Woodlawn 64-60 on Tuesday. Anthony Johnson had 17 for the winners; Collin Meese and Jared Mayhew each had 14. Nokomis bested Louisville (North Clay) 58-42 on Wednesday and will play Oblong for the title.

I cover law and policy with a focus on security, technology and crime.
Hurricane Sandy has knocked out power to much of New York City, impacting hospitals throughout the city. Most notable among them was NYU hospital, which was evacuated after the facility's back up generator failed.
As CBS 2's Dick Brennan reported, power went down across Manhattan from 39th Street south to the southern tip of the island – a region that includes the hospital. Backup generators were in operation, but started to fail in the 11 p.m. hour, and an evacuation began.
Other reports noted that personnel were carrying babies from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and children from the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) down 9 flights of stairs to evacuate them from the building.
UPDATE: Gothamist managed to catch a screen shot of the evacuations, in their post "Babies Among Patients Being Evacuated from NYU Hospital." They wrote:
NYU Langone Medical Center's backup generator failed when power went out in lower Manhattan earlier this evening. ABC says there are 215 patients currently being taken out, many of whom are "having trouble getting in contact with their families." An FDNY spokesman told us they assisted in transferring 45 critical patients to Mt. Sinai, and it appears as though they are dealing with non-critical patients now (along with babies).
According to WNYC, Bellevue Hospital only "has 2 hours of power left;" FDNY didn't have any information currently about that. In addition, there were also reports that a fire had broken out on the third floor of Coney Island Hospital—but the FDNY told us that they had responded to "smoke conditions," and found no fire or injuries, and no evacuations were necessary.
9 flights of stairs to evacuate patients? PICU and NICU patients…..we are nurses, it is what we do!!!! Hang in there nurses, looks like it is going to be a very long shift for you. We are all praying for you. I know the patients will be well cared for.

Hotel Chez Tony
Welcome to Toulouse and welcome to Hotel Chez Tony, just a 10 minute drive by car from Toulouse centre, Blagnac airport and the train station. This two star hotel offers excellent service and comfortable accommodation at very competitive rates.
Please note that Hotel Chez Tony is not in the city center of Toulouse itself and you will have to take some form of transport to reach us. Do not book my hotel expecting to be able to walk into town and then give me poor feedback with regard to location as I feel that this is unfair.
There is a restaurant with an all you can eat buffet with wine dessert and cheese for 12 euros 2 minutes away. (Closed Saturday night and all day Sunday) . The hotel is only a 10 to 15 minute drive in the car from downtown Toulouse (or a 20 minute bus-ride) and are located near to a bus-stop.
All the rooms are en-suite, the majority with both bath and shower- just a couple have showers only. Single and double rooms all contain a double bed.
