I was looking over my vote-by-mail ballot for the California election . . . there's not one person on there I would trust to represent my interests above their own. It's like voting on which gang of thieves will be allowed to break into my home and rob me.
In previous elections, I've usually voted for all the Republican candidates because I dislike 99 percent of Democratic programs, whereas I only dislike 95 percent of Republican programs. Not much of a choice.
This year, I ripped up the ballot and threw it in the trash.
If you nevertheless believe that the capitalists have been busily rigging the system in their own interest, you've got to admit they've done a spectacularly bad job of it. How else to explain the quintuple taxation of capital income, where you can invest a dollar that was taxed the day you earned it, then pay corporate income taxes, dividend taxes, capital gains taxes and inheritance taxes on the income it throws off? Surely any concern that the rich are calling the policy shots should melt away in the face of actual policy.
But the underlying fallacy — the failure to notice that things must add up — is, in my experience, the single greatest source of economic error. Politicians routinely promise to make medical care or housing or college educations more widely available by controlling their prices; economists routinely scratch their heads and ask where the extra doctors or houses or classrooms are going to come from. You can no more speed up the line for medical care by lowering prices than you can speed up the deli line by handing out tickets.
I still believe that capitalism is the most dangerous kind of future we can imagine.
Alternatives to capitalism have resulted in shortages, famine, mass murder and societal collapse (cf., Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the Soviet Union, Communist China, North Korea, Cuba, Libya, Venezuela … I could go on and on but I think we both get the point).
Can anyone list a few capitalist countries where this has occurred? If not, what does the word "dangerous" mean in this context?
Angela Davis is now 70 years old. Can anyone list a few well-known Angela Davis-style radicals who lived a long life in any of the aforementioned countries?
Charlie Crist, former Republican and currently Democratic candidate for governor in Florida, on why he changed parties:
I couldn't be consistent with myself and my core beliefs, and stay with a party that was so unfriendly toward the African-American president. I'll just go there. I was a Republican and I saw the activists and what they were doing, it was intolerable to me.
It was so intolerable that Crist left the GOP in 2010 — four years ago — and he's just bringing this up now?
Has anyone asked this fool why Republicans have been unfriendly to all other Democratic presidents? Or why Democrats have been unfriendly to all GOP presidents? What is his theory on that?
Is he really this stupid or is he counting on his target audience being this stupid? I suspect the latter . . .
The New York Times has an update from McDowell County, West Virginia, on how the War on Poverty is going after 50 years . . .
Of West Virginia's 55 counties, McDowell has the lowest median household income, $22,000; the worst childhood obesity rate; and the highest teenage birthrate.
It is also reeling from prescription drug abuse. The death rate from overdoses is more than eight times the national average. Of the 115 babies born in 2011 at Welch Community Hospital, over 40 had been exposed to drugs. . . .
Many in McDowell County acknowledge that depending on government benefits has become a way of life, passed from generation to generation. Nearly 47 percent of personal income in the county is from Social Security, disability insurance, food stamps and other federal programs. . . .
The poverty rate, 50 percent in 1960, declined – partly as a result of federal benefits – to 36 percent in 1970 and to 23.5 percent in 1980. But it soared to nearly 38 percent in 1990. For families with children, it now nears 41 percent.
"Worst childhood obesity rate." Poverty is different in America. In most countries, poor people aren't fat.
According to the United States Census Bureau, there are 9,176 households in McDowell County and the mean (not median) household income is $33,506. Multiply the two together and we get a total annual income for the county of $206 million.
If 47 percent of that income, as the Times article states, comes from federal programs, that's almost $100 million per year. Since the War on Poverty has been waged for 50 years now, a crude approximation of the total amount of taxpayer money sent to McDowell County would be 50 times $100 million = $5 billion.
Possibly the annual federal contribution was less 50 years ago, even adjusted to 2014 dollars, but we'd also need to account for the fact that the county population at that time was five times higher than it is today. Taking even a small fraction — say, 20 percent — of $5 billion as our approximation, we can say that the War on Poverty has cost at least a billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) just for one small county in West Virginia.
Oh, and the people are still living in poverty. Evidently you can't eliminate poverty just by giving people money.
As David Mamet pointed out in The Secret Knowledge:
There's a cost for everything. And the ultimate payer of every cost imposed by government is not only the individual member of the mass of taxpayers who does not benefit from the scheme; but likely, also, its intended beneficiaries.
In the case of McDowell County, the intended beneficiaries are being paid to continue making bad decisions with their lives, most notably to continue living in a place where there's no work and no hope for improvement.
I have a very difficult time imagining the economic 'theory' that motivates proposals such as this one by Pres. Obama [to "streamline" the Fair Labor Standards Act so that more white-collar employees would be eligible for overtime pay]. The best that I can do is to imagine how a two-year-old child would respond if asked to propose a way to raise workers incomes.

The mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, said this the other day:
"Some of the monies that will come from that will go to other parts of the city too that connect in with that . . ."
OK, that's out of context and it doesn't make any sense, but — "monies"?!
"Hi, I'm Eric Garcetti. I have a dollar bill so I have a money. If you give me another dollar, I'll have some monies."
No. You can have a dollar or a billion dollars. One word covers all the possibilities and that word is "money."
"Monies" is a word used by politicians and academians and other posturing pricks who'd like you to think that they're doing the Lord's work and not soiling their hands with anything as grubby as "money."
Unconstrained thinkers either do not recognize, or refuse to come to grips with, the fact that not everything that is good is worth the cost of its achievement — and that not everything that is bad is worth the cost of its obliteration. Unconstrained thinkers are also typically gripped by romantically unrealistic notions of the abilities of people wielding power, as well as of the trustworthiness of such people. Unconstrained thinkers, because they can imagine people with power exercising that power for the greater good and only for the greater good, are unwilling to suffer any imperfections in reality –- for why suffer such imperfections if a Great and Good Leader (or Great and Good Council) can possibly make the world a better place?
The Internal Revenue Service issued $4 billion in fraudulent tax refunds last year to people using stolen identities, with some of the money going to addresses in Bulgaria, Lithuania and Ireland, according to an inspector general's report released Thursday.
The IRS sent a total of 655 tax refunds to a single address in Lithuania, and 343 refunds went to a lone address in Shanghai.
In the U.S., more fraudulent returns went to Miami than any other city. Other top destinations were Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Houston.
Hmmm . . . aren't there some sort of sanity checks built into the IRS system? Doesn't a warning bell go off when 655 tax refunds are sent to a single address in Lithuania?
Does this erode your confidence in the federal government's ability to manage complex systems and gigantic sums of money?
I'm sure they'll do a much better job managing health insurance, right? Right?
The conversation below took place more than four years ago — June 23, 2009 — at a congressional hearing on Obamacare. The topic was the keep-your-coverage promise, and the participants were Christina Romer, then chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Rep. Tom Price, who is also a doctor.
The conversation plays out like one of those word puzzles where you start out with one word and change one letter at a time to get a completely different word. Watch Romer's responses on keeping your coverage go from "Absolutely" to a stammering "I'd have to look at the specifics."
It's also yet another reminder of what a pig in a poke Obamacare was. Even the people advocating for it had no idea what was in it.
REP. PRICE: You also mentioned, as other folks have, that the president's goal — and it's reiterated over and over and over — that if you like your current plan or if you like your current doctor, you can keep them. Do you know where that is in the bill?
MS. ROMER: Absolutely. And things like the employer mandate is part of making sure that large employers that today — the vast majority of them do provide health insurance. One of the things that's –
REP. PRICE: I'm asking about if an individual likes their current plan and maybe they don't get it through their employer and maybe in fact their plan doesn't comply with every parameter of the current draft bill, how are they going to be able to keep that?
MS. ROMER: So the president is fundamentally talking about maintaining what's good about the system that we have. And –
REP. PRICE: That's not my question.
MS. ROMER: One of the things that he has been saying is, for example, you may like your plan and one of the things we may do is slow the growth rate of the cost of your plan, right? So that's something that is not only –
REP. PRICE: The question is whether or not patients are going to be able to keep their plan if they like it. What if, for example, there's an employer out there — and you've said that if the employers that already provide health insurance, health coverage for their employees, that they'll be just fine, right? What if the policy that those employees and that employer like and provide for their employees doesn't comply with the specifics of the bill? Will they be able to keep that one?
MS. ROMER: So certainly my understanding — and I won't pretend to be an expert in the bill — but certainly I think what's being planned is, for example, for plans in the exchange to have a minimum level of benefits.
REP. PRICE: So if I were to tell you that in the bill it says that if a plan doesn't comply with the specifics that are outlined in the bill that that employer's going to have to move to the — to a different plan within five years — would you — would that be unusual, or would that seem outrageous to you?
MS. ROMER: I think the crucial thing is, what kind of changes are we talking about? The president was saying he wanted the American people to know that fundamentally if you like what you have it will still be there.
REP. PRICE: What if you like what you have, Dr. Romer, though, and it doesn't fit with the definition in the bill? My reading of the bill is that you can't keep that.
MS. ROMER: I think the crucial thing — the bill is talking about setting a minimum standard of what can count –
REP. PRICE: So it's possible that you may like what you have, but you may not be able to keep it? Right?
MS. ROMER: We'd have — I'd have to look at the specifics.
"I am not a crook." — Richard Nixon
"Read my lips: no new taxes." — George H.W. Bush
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." — Bill Clinton
"If you like your plan, you can keep it." — Barack Obama
When President Obama said that he could provide health care to millions without taking any health care away from people who have already got it, he had no chance of being believed. The statement was absurd on its face. This is a law of arithmetic: If you invite a bunch of friends to share your lunch, there's going to be less lunch for you. Everybody understands that. . . .
So when the President said he could expand the availability of medical care while allowing everyone else to keep the care they've got, it was like saying he'd take us for a tour of England in his rocket ship. It had absolutely no chance of being believed, and therefore, it seems to me, does not count as a lie.
It counts instead as an expression of contempt for the many entirely reasonable people who tried to point out that it is not within a President's power to suspend the laws of arithmetic.
That expression of contempt was arguably pretty contemptible, and arguably as contemptible as a lie. And of course he's compounding it by trying to tell you with a straight face that everyone who has to switch health plans will end up with "better" plans that allow them to consume even more medical care. I could give you some pretty striking counterexamples among people I'm personally close to, but there's no need for that, since anyone who grasps basic arithmetic can see that the president's words cannot be true. But speaking untruths is not enough to make him a liar. For that, he'd have to speak plausible untruths, and he has too little respect for the American people to bother coming up with any.
Some of the president's most central and important claims about Obamacare are revealed now – and widely admitted – to be wrong. If he were the CEO of a private company he would be sued, publicly lambasted by all the major media, perhaps hauled before an admittedly grandstanding Congressional committee, and possibly prosecuted, convicted, fined, or even imprisoned for fraudulent misrepresentation. But because Obama is a politician, his misrepresentations are excused as simplifying descriptions aimed at persuading the doofus public to fall for legislation that they would not have fallen for had the president described that legislation honestly and accurately.
Politics is the profession of scoundrels.
Cindy Vinson and Tom Waschura are big believers in the Affordable Care Act. They vote independent and are proud to say they helped elect and re-elect President Barack Obama.
Yet, like many other Bay Area residents who pay for their own medical insurance, they were floored last week when they opened their bills: Their policies were being replaced with pricier plans that conform to all the requirements of the new health care law.
Vinson, of San Jose, will pay $1,800 more a year for an individual policy, while Waschura, of Portola Valley, will cough up almost $10,000 more for insurance for his family of four. . . .
Covered California spokesman Dana Howard maintained that in public presentations the exchange has always made clear that there will be winners and losers under Obamacare. . . .
"Of course, I want people to have health care," Vinson said. "I just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally."
Well, there are fewer limits on what you can promise than on what you can deliver. — Milton Friedman
To ignore the government's poor performance of its present duties when deciding on whether it should or should not take on new duties is obviously wrong.
Democrat or Republican. Liberal or conservative. If you're not one, you must be the other. If you don't vote, people — apparently rational, functional people who manage to drive their cars without ramming them into walls — tell you with a straight face that your non-vote is a de facto vote for the candidate you would have voted against (had you voted). Because you're not allowed to hate both. Because, in under our idiotic one-or-the-other political system, even if you hate both parties, you're supposed to hate one party more than the other.

Jonathan Zimmerman: The Religious Roots of the Minimum Wagetags: religion, economics, minimum wage, Pope Benedict XVI, Tikkun
Jonathan Zimmerman teaches history and education at New York University. He is the author of Small Wonder: The Little Red Schoolhouse in History and Memory (Yale University Press).
Will raising the minimum wage put more money in the pockets of America's working poor? Or will it have the opposite effect, throwing more poor people out of work?
That's the question we ask whenever anyone proposes a hike in the minimum wage, as President Obama did in his State of the Union Address. But it's also the wrong question, diverting us from the biggest one of all: what are the rights that we share as human beings?
Minimum-wage opponents say we all have the right to pursue our own happiness—and to maximize our self-interest—so long as we respect others' right to do the same. Proponents counter that everyone has a right to certain necessities of life—food, clothing, and shelter—and that no one can be happy if some of us are deprived.
And the proponents have Pope Benedict XVI on their side....

Body found in River Foss in York
Updated 12:29am Saturday 22nd March 2014 in News
THE body of a man has been found in a river in York, North Yorkshire Police confirmed tonight.
The body was discovered at about 5pm today in the River Foss at Foss Bank, near to the entrance to Sainsbury's.
A statement released by North Yorkshire Police said: "Formal identification has not yet been completed, therefore we cannot confirm the identity of the deceased at this stage.
"The family of Ben Clarkson have been informed of the discovery."
The 22-year-old has been missing for two weeks after a night out with a colleague in Fibbers, a city centre nightclub.
Despite extensive searches along the route to his home in the Heworth green area, including the scouring the River Foss by police divers, there has been no trace of him since.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has declared that "spying among friends does not work." Attending the summit of European leaders in Brussels, Der Spiegel newspaper has revealed that the United States' national Security Agency has been monitoring Merkel's phone calls since 2002.

Keywords: Angela Merkel, Germany, Brazil, NSA, spying, phone calls
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - In response, President Barack Obama assured Merkel he would have stopped it happening had he known about it.
The incident has prompted Germany to summon the U.S. ambassador this week for the first time in living memory, which proves that the incident is an unprecedented post-war diplomatic rift.
Merkel's mobile telephone had been listed by the NSA's Special Collection Service since 2002 and was still on the list weeks before Obama visited Berlin in June, according to newspaper reports.
In a service document cited by Der Spiegel, the agency said it had a "not legally registered spying branch" in the U.S. embassy in Berlin, the exposure of which would lead to "grave damage for the relations of the United States to another government."
NSA and CIA staff then tapped communication in the Berlin's government district with high-tech surveillance. Der Spiegel quoted a secret document from 2010 that such branches existed in about 80 locations around the world, including Paris, Madrid, Rome, Prague, Geneva and Frankfurt. The magazine said it was not clear whether the SCS had recorded conversations or just connection data.
"We're not going to comment on the details of our diplomatic discussions," said Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council at the White House.
An ongoing rift over U.S. surveillance activities first emerged earlier this year after reports that Washington had bugged European Union offices and had tapped half a billion phone calls, emails and text messages.
Germany says it plans to send its intelligence chiefs to Washington in the coming days to seek answers on the spying allegations.
Germany is also working with Brazil's Dilma Rouseff on a draft United Nations General Assembly resolution to guarantee people's privacy in electronic communications.
In response, as many as 1,000 demonstrators rallied Saturday outside the U.S. Capitol against NSA spying, demanding an end to mass surveillance of individuals.
In a television interview, former CIA deputy director Michael Morrell said that Edward Snowden's leaks are "the most serious compromise of classified information in the history of the U.S. intelligence community."
The most damaging leaked document, according to Morrell was the so-called Black Budget, detailing where the U.S. spends its money on intelligence efforts.
Morrell said Snowden has put Americans at greater risk "because terrorists learn from leaks and they will be more careful," and the country will not get the intelligence it would have gotten otherwise.

Apple enjoys free Super Bowl advertising courtesy of NY Giants
While some tech pundits are bemoaning Apple's lack of ads during the Super Bowl on Sunday (the company hasn't run an ad during the big game for years), The Street's Jim Cramer is taking another view and one that is much more rooted in reality. Apple didn't need to pay for expensive Super Bowl air time, because the World Champion NY Giants provided tons of free advertising for the iPhone.
As Cramer noted, "... there was one ad that struck me as the most honest, most riveting and most compelling of all. You see, the game had just ended, and Colts great Raymond Berry ran the Giant gantlet with the Lombardi Trophy. Suddenly it seemed like every other Giant pulled out an Apple iPhone to snap pictures of the moment. One after another after another. And I said to myself, there it is, not some pet dangling a bag of chips or some headlights killing vampires or King Elton getting trapdoored. Nope, there was an ad worthy of Steve Jobs and the company he built."
Cramer went on to say "To me, the endorsement of Apple by real athletes who were not paid, especially when contrasted with the gift of the GM Corvette that Eli Manning didn't even seem to care about -- 'Eli, the keys, the keys, don't forget the keys!' -- said it all ... when everyone else is paying $3 million per commercial, Apple paid nothing and easily had the best ad of all."
To see what Cramer's talking about, just check out the YouTube video below and count the number of iPhones that you see snapping photos and shooting video of Raymond Berry and the Lombardi Trophy. Amazing...

A coach at the first Equine Special Olympics in 1999 and again in 2011, North American Riding for the Handicapped–certified trainer Kathleen Gallant possesses a deep, long-lasting love for horses and their ability to help others. After attending equestrian vocational school as a teenager and working at several race tracks, Kathleen developed her passion for jumping and dressage and began teaching others, which she has been doing for more than two decades. Today, English riding lessons are the focus at Chiron Equestrian Services, as well as therapeutic riding for children and adults with special needs. Both private and group lessons begin with the establishment of a balanced, centered riding style and, once these basics are mastered, move on to more advanced riding techniques such as hunt seat, jumping, and dressage.
It's a tradition dating back to the 1930s, and for many moviegoers, it still eclipses the modern multiplex experience. But it's also threatened by extinction. With only an estimated 357 drive-ins still functioning throughout the US, Saco is one of the last places where an audience of automobiles can bask in movie magic under the twinkling starlight. With speakers propped by the car windows and affordable concessions at hand, viewers laugh, cry, and cheer at double features of first-run films while knowing exactly who's kicking the seat behind them. Those who want to keep this American tradition going can donate to Project Drive-In, which aids outdoor theaters as they strive to make the pricey conversions to digital projection.
At Aquaboggan Water Park, anyone can perform spinning tricks on the half-pipe—it's practically unavoidable. Tube-equipped riders launch down the slippery 45-foot-tall parabola, careening up and down its sides before sliding down into the connected pool. Nicknamed Stealth 5, the half-pipe is just one of the park's unconventional attractions, joining the ranks of the Aquasaucer, a soft dome with a fountain at the top and ropes leading from its peak to its base.
Of course, in its 35 years, Aquaboggan hasn't lost respect for the classics, both wet and dry. Its Pipeline entices guests down a twisting trio of slides, readying riders for a high-speed race on the Turbo Drop's side-by-side slides. Wee ones can splash in the wave pool or take part in a consequence-free lesson in aquatic navigation on the bumper boats. Afterward, guests can dry out on an 18-hole mini-golf course and a high-speed go-cart track.

Definition: Corticosteroid drugs, called "steroids" for short, are potent chemical substances which can reduce swelling and inflammation quickly. These drugs are closely related to cortisol, a hormone produced on the cortex of the adrenal glands.
Corticosteroids are used in arthritis treatment because of their anti-inflammatory properties, but recommended as a low-dose or short-term treatment when possible to minimize side effects. Corticosteroids are not the same as "anabolic steroids" (performance enhancing drugs being used and abused in sports).
Corticosteriods are prescribed in widely varying doses depending on the condition and goal of treatment. Used to control inflammation of the joints and organs in diseases such as:
Potential for serious side effects and adverse reactions increases at high doses or with long-term use of steroids. Doctors can prescribe short-term, high-dose intravenous steroids in some situations, or give shots or injections with drugs such as Triamcinolone (Kenalog) locally into a specific joint for relief.
Corticosteroid Drugs Include:
- Betamethasone (Celestone)
- Cortisone (Cortone)
- Dexamethasone (Decadron)
- Hydrocortisone (Cortef)
- Methylprednisolone (Medrol)
- Prednisolone (Prelone)
- Prednisone (Deltasone)
- Budesonide (Entocort EC) is approved for Crohn's disease treatment and being studied for other arthritis related uses.
Also Known As: corticosteroids, glucocorticoids
Common Misspellings: steriods stareroids
Examples: If you are taking a steroid long-term, doses of steroids should never be stopped suddenly. Steroids MUST be decreased gradually so as to permit the adrenal glands to resume natural cortisol production. In cases where corticosteroids were taken in low doses for long periods of time, tapering of the drugs can continue for months or even years. Eliminating doses too quickly can result in life-threatening adrenal crisis.

Small museum, not very interesting at all. On the bright side, its very quiet, parking is not a problem and is near (walking distance) the cience museum, the islamic arts museum and the Malaysian space agency.
Visited the museum and have to say it is very well presented and maintained and easy to follow. The displays were one of the best I have seen and better than the London tower displays of their military units and far superior to the Scottish and Victorian (Australia) police museums. The officers on duty were friendly and helpful. I would...
Modern,clean and very well done.Good aircon.Lots to see and lots to learn regarding the history of Malaysia.Had a slow stroll round and enjoyed it.Would recommend.
Nice if you're interested in police history. Free entrance. Located a little bit outside the city, you can go to the museum with a touristbus free of chargé.
This was a great museum to distract the kids from the rigours of touring, and the whole family enjoyed it. It looks new and everything is beautifully curated. Staff at the front desk is friendly and helpful. A little off the beaten path (the climb up the hill while holding a toddler is rough!) but they enjoyed it,
We stumbled upon the Police Museum after visiting the Butterfly Park and it was a very pleasant surprise. Beside from the fact it is free entry and has air-con, it was educational in a very visual and interesting way. There are different police uniforms from across the decades, including different colonial uniforms, models of vehicles and a room of weapons...
what we love about KL is that the more you look the more you find- even without any interest in police history as such this museum captures the history of the country - extremely worthwhile
Very informative
Friendly staff and quite a lot exhibits
Interesting and its for free
No fees to pay 😄
Can be combined with a walk in lake gardens
For a free museum, this was definitely worth our while. My son is enamored by defense personnel, and the vehicles they use. We loved the time machine feel, where you can feel the different periods of time, the way they're recreated. You get to see weapons, vehicles, clothes, and all sorts of police related items.
We were in the Perdana Lake Gardens so thought we would visit the police museum. It was free entry and we found it very interesting. It is very informative regarding police methods and history through the ages. They have a display of different weapons used by police and confiscated from criminals including a selection of hand made weapons. It was...

CIA Leak Path: Cheney, Libby, Woodward
By Jason Leopold, t r u t h o u t | www.truthout.org
In mid-June 2003, when former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's criticism against the White House's use of pre-war Iraq intelligence started to make national headlines, Vice President Dick Cheney told his former chief of staff and close confidant I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to leak classified intelligence data on Iraq's nuclear ambitions to a legendary Washington journalist in order to undercut the charges made against the Bush administration by the former ambassador.
Tracing the Trail of Torture
From Tomdispatch today, Dahr Jamail's "Tracing the Trail of Torture, Embedding Torture as Policy from Guantanamo to Iraq" http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=65894
In just the last few weeks, there has been a cascade of torture news as the latest Abu Ghraib photos were released, administration lawyers went to court to fight for a "torture exemption" for detainees at Guantanamo, military officials organizing the administration's trials at that prison refused to ban testimony induced by torture, and the New York Times revealed that at Bagram Air Base we now have a second Guantanamo, totally beyond the reach of the law. And that's just been the tip of the iceberg.
Military Will Keep Planting Articles in Iraq
By Mark Mazzetti, Los Angeles Times

Guantanamo man tells of 'torture'
By BBC
A Kuwaiti man being held at Guantanamo Bay has told the BBC in a rare interview that the force-feeding of hunger strikers amounts to torture.
Fawzi al-Odah said hunger strikers were strapped to a chair and force-fed through a tube three times a day.
A senior US official denied the use of torture in Guantanamo Bay.
Mr Odah's comments, relayed by his lawyer in answer to BBC questions, came as another inmate launched a legal challenge to the force-feeding policy.
Burying The Lancet Report
By Nicolas J. S. Davies
Z Magazine
Over a year ago an international team of epidemiologists, headed by Les Roberts of Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, completed a "cluster sample survey" of civilian casualties in Iraq. Its findings contradicted central elements of what politicians and journalists had presented to the US public and the world. After excluding any possible statistical anomalies, they estimated that at least 98,000 Iraqi civilians had died in the previous 18 months as a direct result of the invasion and occupation of their country. They also found that violence had become the leading cause of death in Iraq during that period. Their most significant finding was that the vast majority (79 percent) of violent deaths were caused by "coalition" forces using "helicopter gunships, rockets or other forms of aerial weaponry," and that almost half (48 percent) of these were children, with a median age of 8.
What Bush Was Told About Iraq
By Murray Waas, National Journal
Two highly classified intelligence reports delivered directly to President Bush before the Iraq war cast doubt on key public assertions made by the president, Vice President Cheney, and other administration officials as justifications for invading Iraq and toppling Saddam Hussein, according to records and knowledgeable sources.
The first report, delivered to Bush in early October 2002, was a one-page summary of a National Intelligence Estimate that discussed whether Saddam's procurement of high-strength aluminum tubes was for the purpose of developing a nuclear weapon.

Gonzales Seeks to Clarify Testimony on Spying
Extent of Eavesdropping May Go Beyond NSA Work
By Charles Babington and Dan Eggen, Washington Post
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales appeared to suggest yesterday that the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance operations may extend beyond the outlines that the president acknowledged in mid-December.
In a letter yesterday to senators in which he asked to clarify his Feb. 6 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Gonzales also seemed to imply that the administration's original legal justification for the program was not as clear-cut as he indicated three weeks ago.

Months of Blows and Panic
By Olivier Bertrand, Libération
Mourad Benchellali, who left France in 2001 for a Taliban camp, recounts the horror of his detention by the Americans in Kandahar, then at Guantánamo.
Mourad Benchellali left Vénissieux in June 2001. He was 19-years-old when he left for Afghanistan. Four and a half years later, he has just come back, after several successive Hells. Two months in a Taliban training camp, then capture in Pakistan - to be handed over to the Americans. And torture - in Kandahar, then at Guantánamo. Upon his return, the French justice system kept him in detention for eighteen months before freeing him last month. His profile has filled out. Mourad wears his frizzy hair long, in a pony tail. No one recognizes him and he prefers that. He wants to turn the page. But first, to relate what he saw in Guantánamo. He testifies at length for Libération: about the channels he used to get to Afghanistan, about training with the Taliban, about the tortures he endured. His recitation is precise, since the many interrogations, he says, have "engraved" the slightest details into his memory. It is impossible to verify what he says, but his testimony is corroborated by that of other Guantánamo "lodgers."

Eyewitnesses peel back lies on war debate
By Jay Bookman, Atlanta Journal Constitution
A hundred years from now, historians will still be regaling readers with the all-too-true tales of ignorance, arrogance, dishonesty and outright incompetence that drove our nation to invade Iraq. As stories go, nothing in our country's previous 225 years of history quite matches it. And for our children's sake, we better hope that nothing in our future comes close to it, either.
Why the government spying is illegal: a reply to the US Department of Justice
By Richard Hoffmann, World Socialist Web Site www.wsws.org
On January 19, 2006 the US Department of Justice released a 42-page memorandum purporting to set out a legal justification for the spying activities of the Bush administration that have been undertaken by the National Security Agency (NSA).
Like statements made by the White House and the attorney general since the government's domestic surveillance operations were revealed, the Justice Department's legal brief is an aggressive, but spurious, attempt to establish that these operations have a basis in law. Its central plank is the contention that, since the United States is in a state of war with Al Qaeda, the president has unfettered power to conduct military operations against Al Qaeda, including spying on US citizens and legal residents within the United States.

Talk about straight coming out yo face!!!! BLUNTLY.
50 Cent has hit Kanye West with the mother of all low blows by labeling his girlfriend Kim Kardashian just plain ol "TRASH"'.
When asked his opinion on KimYe during a recent interview with XXL Magazine 50 says: "'You know how it is? One man's trash is another man's treasure."
He also shared his thoughts on the Kanye's touching ode to Kim titled 'Perfect B****'. "'I mean, if that man feel like she's perfect, then she's perfect. He could mean it and you'll end up singing the words to it because he's Kanye" he says.
He also made sure to let folks know that there is no such a thing as the perfect woman saying: "I'm not sure. The smartest guys I know have lost being a bad judge of character in that area."
I'm guessing these two won't be kissing and making up anytime soon.

NBC paid a visit to Covington to show how the shutdown was affecting ordinary Americans.
As Enquirer reporter Scott Wartman noted a week ago, restaurants in Covington are reeling from the furloughing of at least 4,000 Internal Revenue Service workers at an office there.
The video features Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce president Steve Stevens warning that, in the shutdown, "sooner or later, somebody has to blink."

Veterans Need Better Access to VA Hospitals, Not Private Insurance
By Garry Augustine |
Over the weekend, Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana and a possible Republican candidate for president in 2016, took a shot at his own party when he told party leaders to "stop being the stupid party." But then he failed to take his own advice and said, "The Republican Party does not need to change our principles, but we might need to change just about everything else we are doing"
Let's take a look at some key Republican principles and track them against the opinions of the Americans who voted last November.
Principle 1: Tax Cuts for the Rich. Mitt Romney strongly defended the Bush tax cuts while Barack Obama promised to repeal them. The national Election Day exit poll shows that almost half (47 percent) of the voters wanted to repeal the tax cuts for people in households where the total income was $250,000 or more. Another group of voters (13 percent) wanted to increase taxes for everybody. Only a third of the electorate (35 percent) opposed increasing the tax on wealthy Americans. Strike one.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Republican Party.]
Principle 2: Deportation of Undocumented Immigrants. Only a quarter (25 percent) of the voters supported Mitt Romney's proposal to deport all 11 million or so undocumented immigrants. Two of every three voters (65 percent) said they wanted these immigrants to have legal status. The president and a bipartisan group of U.S. senators have agreed to a comprehensive proposal that includes a path to citizenship. House Republicans oppose immigration overhaul at their own political peril. Strike 2.
Principle 3: Repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The new healthcare reform law proved to voters that Obama cares. Many Republican congressional candidates said they would completely repeal Obamacare. But only a quarter (25 percent) of the voters agreed. Just as many voters (26 percent) wanted to expand the Affordable Healthcare Act. Strike 3 and the GOP is out (of the White House).
[See a collection of political cartoons on healthcare.]
The GOP is like a bad play that has a test run in New Haven with bad reviews before it gets to Broadway. Instead of changing the actors or the script, the only thing that the producers do to fix the show before it opens in New York is to change the scenery.
But the ugly reality is that voters aren't buying what the Tea Party (formerly known as the Republican Party) is selling. Unless the GOP abandons its extremist right wing principles and the Tea Party, Republicans face many long hard winters.

Updated May 3, 2013 - 4:26 pm
SI writer thinks Tyrann Mathieu can be 'impactful' with Cardinals
Originally published: May 3, 2013 - 4:20 pm
Mathieu, who finished fifth in the 2011 Heisman Trophy balloting, did not play in 2012 after being kicked off the LSU roster by head coach Les Miles. Mathieu had failed repeated drug tests which led to his dismissal. Following an abbreviated stay in a drug treatment center, Mathieu and three other former LSU players were arrested for possession of marijuana.
Needless to say, there is a good amount of risk in investing a high draft pick on a talented but troubled player like Mathieu.
But Stewart Mandel, who covers college football for Sports Illustrated, knows exactly why the Cardinals took that risk.
"During the draft, when he got picked and they showed the highlights, for me, it was like a trip down memory lane," Mandel told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Friday. "I had forgotten just how exciting a player he was in the 2011 season. LSU went to the national title game and he was one of the central figures of it."
The Cardinals will rely on Mathieu's former LSU teammates Patrick Peterson and Kevin Minter to mentor him and keep him walking a clean path. If they can, Mandel believes Mathieu will have a productive career in the desert.
"I just really hope he's got the right support around him to keep him out of trouble, and if he does, I think he can be a tremendously impactful player -- at the very least on special teams or as a returner and possibly also as a corner or safety," Mandel said.

By Andrew Gans
The Piece Project and VS. Theatre Company present readings of Terri Minsky's Amazing Frogs and Toads Dec. 12 and 19 at 8 PM at VS. Theatre Company in Los Angeles.
Ron Klier and Jacob Chase direct a cast that includes Patrick J. Adams, Brandon Barash, Brian Geraghty, Josh Pence, June Diane Raphael and Abigail Spencer.

Stuart and Abby, Celia and Danny — they are two couples who are the closest of friends. They know everything about each other ... including things the others don't know. In this dark comedy, support, trust, and intimacy become the instruments of fury, betrayal and loss. A best friend is one careless remark away from being your worst enemy."

Correlation With Emerging Markets Plunges
- Posted by JC Parets
- on June 14th, 2013
I hate to keep harping on the same topic – this emerging markets disaster. But I think there's something else here worth mentioning, and then I promise I'll leave it alone. John Murphy brought up a great point yesterday in that the six month correlation between US and Emerging Market stocks has been consistently positive for years. Any slight divergence between the two gets adjusted quickly by the market and immediately shoots back up towards one.
As you can see in this chart, correlations are plummeting. The weekly bars represent the S&P500 and the red line shows the Emerging Markets $EEM. The 6-month correlation is plotted at the bottom and takes us all the way back to the 2008 global sell-off.
So here is the question: Is this a new normal? Are US Stocks no longer going to be trading with Emerging Markets? These are two different worlds now and just something we need to get used to? Or is this a temporary divergence that will quickly be corrected by Mr. Market? And if so, will US Stocks come down, EM come up, or a combination of the two?

Naval Officer And Businessman Lectures At Ashland University
Story By: Greg Heindel
|Email Story to Friend
Original Published: 10/8/2012
An accomplished naval officer and businessman was the keynote speaker Monday, for the 10th Annual Dr. Lucille and Larry Ford Distinguished Business Lecture Series at Ashland University.
Admiral Thomas Lynch, a 70-year-old Lima, Ohio native, served for 31years in the U.S. Navy and now is Managing Director of the Musser Group, a private equity and venture capital firm in Philadelphia.
The title of his speech was "Ship, Shipmate, Self".
He says he learned when he took command of his first ship that he was responsible for the ship and his 250-member crew and he had to put their interests above his own.
He says to be a leader, you must earn the trust and respect of those in your charge and put what's good for them ahead of what you want.
Lynch urges parents to teach their children not to be cynical over, or distracted by, the many bad influences in life, and to develop senses of unselfishness and leadership as they grow and make their way in the world.
Prior to being named managing director of The Musser Group, Lynch was a senior vice president of The Staubach Company from 2001 to 2008, following six years at Safeguard Scientifics that included two years as president/COO of CompuCom Systems in Dallas, Texas. While at Safeguard, he was responsible for the operations, mergers and acquisitions, and oversight of other emerging partnership companies.
After a 31-year naval career, which included command of the Eisenhower Battle Group during Operation Desert Shield and a position as superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, Lynch retired from the Navy with the rank of Rear Admiral in 1995.
He now serves several private and publicly held companies. He chairs the board of New Day USA, a mortgage lending company focused to provide VA/FHA loans to our military veterans, and is a board member of PRWT Services, Mikros Systems and Buckeye Insurance.
He also is on the board of the Armed Forces Benefit Association, Philadelphia Sports Congress, Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Catholic Leadership Institute, Economics Pennsylvania and USO World Board of Governors. He has served as chairman of the Cradle of Liberty Council and Boy Scouts of America, and currently chairs the U.S. Naval Academy Athletic and Scholarship Foundation.
He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with a bachelor of science in 1964 and earned a master of science from George Washington University in 1971. He was recognized as a U.S. Naval Academy Distinguished Graduate in 2010.
