Star Wars, KOTOR II
What do people think of this? I cant get enough of it....
Not as good as the first. Nowhere near.
I can see how it wouldnt have the impact of the first one, but it is practically the same game, with a less involving story, but it plays slightly better. So obviously - i loved it long time.
yup, good game, didn't catch me as much as the first one though, but i guess that was because it was just more of the same.
one of the few games i've played all the way to the end without getting bored. |
Really impressive game, having more control over the path of your party rather than in the first where light side meant finishing the game with pretty much everyone, yet dark ended up with the loss of a big chunk of your party
The game itself wasn't as good as the first though, although similar, it felt like a good 90% of the game was spent building up this huge story and further developing characters, and the remaining 10 was spent rushing the finale along where within the space of about 2 hours tops, almost every question from the games previous 20+ hours were answered all in this big mess of a finish. Hopefully there will be a third though, preferably lasting a lot longer |
I think its pretty much the same as the first game... maybe the first was slightly better, but i enjoy the character building aspects. I dunno, more of the same, but just as compelling
Liked it, but as DGU and others say, still not as good as the first one. Roll on a 3rd one. Please. Hmm? Please! :D
Good but the ending was wank
I didn't think it was as good as the first. There seemed to be quite a few bugs in it (My copy would suffer horrendous slow-down and eventully crash). They could also have done more with Nar Shadda though! And I could see the ending coming a mile off.
The 'Last of the Handmaidens' was fit though! |
IMO the first one was a little better, as the ending to the second let me down massively, and it wasnt as polished as the first.

We can all be happy that luggage these days is lightweight and rollable but to my mind most modern cases have one great flaw.
You can't put stickers on them.
In the old days, before affordable air travel, people travelled with trunks, onto which porters would affix identifying stickers.
The trunks were made of solid wood and canvas and the stickers would stay firmly attached, so much so that, over the course of a lifetime, as other stickers were slapped on, the trunk or case became a sort of diary of the voyages a person had taken.
In our disposable society, it's unimaginable that a person would keep the same case over decades of travel. But that's what people did.
Flying now is like taking a bus, but when it took weeks to sail from London to Melbourne or 20 days to fly from Sydney to Paris, the journey was worth commemorating.
And if you did it multiple times, the stickers on your suitcase were multiple badges of honour.
I love antique steamer trunks and for years I've collected them to store clothing, but never fancied the reaction I would get if I turned up to the airport with one.
I've never seen a passenger try to check in a trunk for a flight or a cruise, and I haven't led a sheltered life.
One of my trunks has seen better days but the stickers on it have clung tenaciously despite the bashing it has received over the years.
The stickers tell me the owner once sailed from Southampton Pier and stayed at the Hotel Lotti in Paris.
What does my new nylon Samsonite tell anyone? Nothing.
It may have only travelled to Hobart for all anyone might guess, and yet already it has seen four continents. It would be a very colourful and tarty suitcase by now if it had collected sticky labels - it has already been unpacked in Paris's Le Meurice, Scotland's Gleneagles and Marrakech's Taj Palace.
But, so far, it has gathered only an oil stain and a few grubby fingerprints.
I returned a few weeks ago from a journey on the wonderful Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
It's as romantic as you can imagine - beautiful old carriages exactingly restored, porters in snappy blue-and-gold uniforms bringing you afternoon tea in your cabin, and elegant four-course dinners in formal dining cars where Josephine Baker and Graham Greene once sat.
The experience demanded the glamour of a trunk, but the practicalities of flying from Sydney through Dubai to Venice meant the lightweight suitcase had to do.
As we passengers boarded from the platform, our luggage was a mundane sea of nylon and polycarbonate. The porters, in their bright blue and gold-braided uniforms, deserved better.
Now here's the thing: in lieu of stickers, our luggage was labelled with fetching paper VSOE tags, beautiful mementos of the trip.
Mine stayed attached until it met its first airport baggage handler. Now I have only the remnant of an elastic string to remind me of that wonderful journey.
We record our travels so well these days via Instagram and Facebook and videos we post on YouTube that perhaps we don't need our suitcases to speak for us.
But I can't help feeling something is lost.
Certainly, I'm not the only one in a nostalgic mood. Where once I might have nabbed a handsome 1920s steamer trunk for $100, these days even an old cardboard suitcase from the 1960s might cost you double that.
Anything made by Vuitton, Moynat or Goyard is likely to sell for considerably more.
Interior designers are among those snapping them up. It's fashionable to decorate homes and hotel lobbies (such as Sydney's new QT) with vintage luggage.
The more a suitcase or trunk looks like it has travelled - multiple stickers, worn straps, beaten-up buckles - the more evocative it is. Maybe some hipster cafe in Brunswick in 2040 will decorate ironically with stacks of torn and stained lightweight rolling suitcases, and maybe they will seem nostalgic, but not one will speak to where we have been.
Last year, during a stay at the historic Raffles Hotel in Singapore, I received an envelope of nostalgic luggage stickers from classic hotels such as the Grand Hotel Nongkojajar in Java and the Strand Hotel in Rangoon.
Try as I might, I couldn't get them to stay put on any of my bags. But they did stick to my laptop, so I suppose that's a modern consolation.

Project Description:
I need a highly experienced "English" writer to do all the necessary research and writing for the following website:
Main Research Topic: Various Topics about Web Development
Writing Type: Question & Answer format
Deliverable: 20 pages of content at a minimum of 600 words per page.
These articles will be on various IT related topics within this research topic - in addition, these articles must be written in a Q&A style for my "Ask Gabe" section of this website. For example, I want all of these articles to come back in this format:
- First Question to Gabe
- My Answer to this Question
- Second Question to Gabe
- My Answer to this Question
- Third Question to Gabe
- My Answer to this Question
and so on...
Each one of these articles should be at a minimum 600 words in length and once again - each one of these articles must be written in a Question and Answer (Q&A) style. This project does require that you do all the necessary research on the main topic, as described above, and come up with some common questions that the average user out there may want to ask an IT professional - once you have these questions written out, you will then submit these questions to me so I can review them and approve them. Once your questions have been approved, then you will need to do the necessary research to answer these questions accurately and completely.
So, if you are a proficient "English" writer and would love to work on something creative and fun, then I want to hear from you. If you want your bid to be taken seriously then please briefly answer the following question and submit it to me as your writing sample:
Q: What exactly is CSS and why should my development team start using it?
Now, this doesn't have to be long – but I am looking for serious candidates that can really write to a business/technical topic. If this is you, then you should be able to answer this question above in no time at all. And, this is the best way for me to determine whether you can really do this work or not. In addition, I have long-term writing opportunities for highly-qualified individuals to join my offshore writing team.
Thanks and happy bidding...

Probably used to be very nice A review of Blockade Runner
We just returned from one night at the Blockade Runner. I loved the decorating and the beautiful fresh flowers in the lobby. The location is perfect -- right on a nice wide part of the beach and a few blocks from the town's shops and restaurants. The pool is fine, but could use wider steps for younger swimmers. The pool sort of extends indoors and there are nice steps leading into the pool at that point. There is also a hot tub in that room. But, that area is dank and dark and cool -- not pleasant for swimming or hot tubbing. The room where we stayed was kind of dingy with the dirt of long use -- not due to lack of attention of the house keeping staff. The towels were the worst I have used since my Motel 6 days (thin, rough and small) The same was true (dinginess) of the resort in general. The food at the restaurant (buffet style with optional menu choices) was o.k. but very expensive ($25 per person for dinner). Kids under 6 ate free at the buffet, though. There is a beautiful spot to eat outside and when we were there eating our dinner and a storm was approaching the thoughtful wait staff hustled us in before the rain came down.

Jeff is an American who currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo is a dense and baffling city, and his bank, USAA, created a huge problem when they sent him a check using FedEx but sort of forgot to include his street address. In a city of millions and in a neighborhood of 300,000, FedEx's challenge was to find one foreign dude. They could have just sent the envelope back to USAA. Instead, they accepted the challenge and got the package to Jeff before the original delivery estimate was up. [More]
Japan Introduces Monkey Waiters; Blogger Scratches Another Business Plan Off His List
By cwalters October 9, 2008
A Japanese sake house near Tokyo has stolen one of my ideas and employed monkeys as waiters—one brings hot towels to customers when they sit down, and another takes orders and delivers bottles of sake. They're tipped in edamame, which U.S. waitstaff should seriously consider since you don't have to report it, and since the dollar will soon be worth about the same anyway. Our favorite quote from the article: "'The monkeys are actually better waiters than some really bad human ones,' customer Takayoshi Soeno said." Hold on to your hats, there's video footage below!

Creating a Facebook Page for your Organization
August 15, 2011
© Facebook
At the Mom Congress on Education and Learning Conference in April, I sat on a panel that talked about using social media to get your message across. We talked about blogging, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and various other ways to reach your audience.
We're all at different places with our social media experience and there were several questions about how exactly to use these tools to further the goals of our various organizations. So I thought I'd do a series of tutorials to show how simple it can be to start reaching out to your members and volunteers using the internet.
Starting a blog or a website may be a little overwhelming but if you use Facebook at all, it should be fairly easy for you to set up a Facebook page for your PTA or other organization.
- While logged in to Facebook, navigate to Facebook.com/pages.
- Select the "Create a Page" button from the top right corner of the page.
- Choose an organization type. For my PTA, I chose "Company, Organization, or Institution" but I think, "Cause or Community" would work as well.
- Choose a category like Education and then type in your organization name and read and accept the terms and conditions.
- Fill in your basic information.
- Click on the button to "like" your page and encourage others to do so.
You can add events to your page or simply post information on the wall. Everyone who "likes" your page will see your updates in their news feed. This is a great way to keep people up-to-date on your meetings and other information.
I love that you can easily add other members as administrators on the page and even remove yourself as an administrator if you are no longer taking an active role in the leadership of the organization.
Play around with Facebook pages. They're fun, easy and should take less than ten minutes to get started.

I have faith in the current School Board. The last Board only did what the Super wanted and what the LV Mayor and those in charge wanted.
Give them time, if they do not do a good job, that is what elections are for.

Chopin and senior citizen, I feel your pain. I to believe that it was time for a change. I too, think there are several items that need scrutiny and investigation.
My problem is that this newly elected board that was elect has accomplished what to me seems to have been there one and only goal for the district, and now where do they go from here? They hire an interim Superintendent that not that long ago served in an administrative position in the District!
There is nothing wrong with change if it brings improvement and truly explores new directions. change for the sake of change itself makes no sense.
The new board was elected because they claimed they were going to change and improve our school district. So far it seems very much that they have no plan for improvement. None that I am aware of has voiced any plan or vision for improving the LVISD beyond CHANGING the administration. In my never to be humble opinion, that is not enough! I would challenge the patrons of LVISD to ask the board to share and define their plans and vision for the district going forward! HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE TRUST YOU HAVE PLACED IN THEM!

I was wondering if the Embezzeler would ever have to pay for what she did. So many of them have gotten away with so much for so many years. I do believe that Wilson County residents are waking up. I think O-Care is waking up the Nation too. Impeachment would be great for him! A shame that we cannot "impeach" the old Super. Now that is a trial I would love.
I believe that the School Board should now sell that land, and investigate the books that the Finance Director has managed for so many years. I do not know if she has retired by now, but if she ever does it is good she has moved her home out of the area. Karma always waits and eventually it comes back to those who think they can get away with illegal behavior. When I saw that he was going to leave in Dec I wondered why Dec? Then it was so good to see that the School Board found someone right away and HE IS GONE. From my research, he used all his old buddies to build the new school - from Houston area. The old "good ole boy" shell is breaking away and now maybe things can be corrected.
When they purchased iPads for all employees that made me even more upset. What a waste. How about teaching our kids, providing better books, etc. Well, time will tell as we see how the new Super runs a school. Will be watching for the trial! Thx to all the group that really brought things to a head!

I have been waiting for this day since this man dipped the Federal Govt and LV taxpayers for a $35 million bond for lighted tennis courts and other unnecessary items, taking $1.5 million in Stimulus dollars, and finally the acquisition of the Director of Fiinance's land at a cost of $ 850,000.00 to the taxpayers.
He should have been fired instead of paying him to leave. I say good riddance!
I hope the new Super is much more conservative in her spending! Time will tell.
Cudo's to the voters who voted new blood into the School Board.

Somali murals: funky advertising in the Horn of Africa
In the Horn of Africa, street art takes the form of murals. I believe this is a Somali development, because I've seen it much more in Somaliland and the Somali region of Ethiopia than I have anywhere else. There's a fair number of murals in Harar, Ethiopia, but that has always had close trade connections with the Somali region.
Some are simple, like this ad for a dentist in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland. I don't know why this guy jumped into the frame and bared his teeth but hey, it made for a better picture so I'm not complaining.
Then there's this mural inside a bakery in Harar. It shows the founder, an Greek expat who opened the most modern bakery in town. One day I met his aged widow, who still presides over the family business. She treated me to tea and regaled me with tales of the old days. She was very proud of the mural and in fact that's what drew me inside in the first place. Another example of art bringing people together.

Once the price of a stock goes up they are there to the bash the company and its products in any way they can. These people are bottom dwellers and looking for the crumbs. Slimjim, sounds like the student who has not done his due diligence and makes a presentation trying to make it look like he understands a topic he really knows nothing about -- LOL Spiderbitep is just like his alias -- not to be trusted -- he is only on this board for personal gain. Both of these guys are #$%$ holes as far as I am concerned!! If you believe their posts you are not doing your homework either.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I am not sold on this company only cause Baker Bros don't own any. Dang I should buy some XOMA. they own everything good.
Classic short bashers. If you notice they never have a positive thing to say. They really must believe that they make a difference in how people buy and sell??? amazing!!
well the basjers do make a difference. everyone knows that the major traders who buy a sell million of shares occupy yahoo mb's. a bash here and a bash there and they can cause these uninformed hedge fund and institutional investors to sell. ( I hope you can read the sarcasm).

Do you think Pedro Martinez understands on any level that he probably has to go year by year with contracts for the rest of his career?
Is it just me or is their some angry tone to those words? He could have simply posed the question without the passive-aggressive undertone.
Pedro's contract will be almost entirely based on how he preforms this year. If he can win 13-15 games, and stay relatively healthy, he could be looking at a 2 or 3 year deal. If not, sure, he might need to go year by year, but I'm pretty sure he understands what's at stake.

NOTE: I am not an Atheist. I posted this video to see if people could provide some feedback to these honest questions to rational Christians. Please remember to speak in love! Here are the questions: 1. why won't god heal amputees? 2. why are there so many starving people in our world? 3. why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the Bible? 4. why does the Bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? 5. why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the Bible? 6. why do bad things happen to good people? 7. why didn't any of Jesus' miracles in the Bible leave behind any evidence? 8. how do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? 9. why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? 10. why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians?

Here comes everybody: divorced, gays, sinners, a couple saints Ashes for the unabashedly Catholic Poverty rates reflect 'serious moral failure' | ||

News By Month
On the last day of January, we celebrate the feast day of a 19th century Italian saint who first came up with the idea of a "boys' town" to help adolescents see their worthiness because of their origin and destiny as sons of God. Even as a poor teenage farm boy, he was trying to get the attention of boys like himself, who lived in poverty and with hopelessness, hoping he could convince them not to turn to meanness and crime. Unusually strong and brilliant, he became a juggler, a magician and an acrobat and used these great talents to get the attention of these troubled boys. The price of admission to these shows was a prayer.
His name was John Bosco, and he went on to live his whole life helping the ragged, abused and abandoned young people he met to find hope and joy. He became a priest and established schools and ministries for young ones. He ultimately founded the Salesians, a religious order with a mission to teach and care for the young ones.
Because my married name was Bosco, I became very interested in this saint. When my second son was born, I named him John Dominic. The Dominic was for St. Dominc Savio, the pupil of John Bosco's who died at age 15, only three years after coming to the boys' town to learn from the priest he revered. He was proclaimed a saint by Pope Pius XII in 1954.
I remember a summer day when my John was 15. I was at the kitchen sink washing vegetables. He came up behind me, lifted me by my bent elbows and said, laughing, "Mom, you better pray you raised me right." He was referring to his strength—so like his patron saint's—that I always told him had to be used for the good of others. I laughed back and said, "I did, I named you after St. John Bosco."
Born in poverty, raised by a mother who was ever concerned about his spiritual care, this boy John—brilliant, strong, a tightrope walker, a juggler, even a magician—also had a phenomenal memory. He was known to be able to repeat the sermons he heard at Mass, word for word. He could accomplish just about anything he chose to try, like playing the violin, tailoring, blacksmithing, woodworking, making cold drinks, liqueurs and pastries. With his tremendous skills, he could have been successful at any number of worldly vocations. But he was being called by a different voice, and he knew it. He entered the seminary.
On Trinity Sunday, June 5, 1841, John Bosco was ordained a priest in the Church of St. Francis of Assisi in Italy, and became known as Don Bosco, which then was the traditional manner of addressing priests. He did not know at that moment what his life work would be, but four months after his ordination, something happened that definitely changed his life. He met an orphan who was trying to keep warm inside the church, while the sacristan was shouting to him to get out. Don Bosco rebuked the man, and then started talking to the boy, whose name was Bartholomew Garelli, inviting him to come back on Sunday with some of his pals. He did, and the street boys began to come back every week, more and more of them each week. That was the beginning of what became the "Oratory of Saint Francis De Sales," where pupils could be trained by the new religious order Don Bosco founded, the
Salesians, named for a saint he so loved, St. Francis de Sales.
As a writer, I must also admit that my tremendous admiration for Don Bosco was also inspired because he was a book-lover. In fact, he obtained printing presses for his students, and taught his boys to run them, publishing, as was written, "beautifully crafted" books. He emphasized, "How many souls have been saved by good books; how many have been preserved from error; and how many have been encouraged to do good…"
Fast forward to August, 1993: My son John and his wife Nancy had recently bought a new home in Montana, and called to tell me they were taking a trip to Colorado. I said have-a-good time and I'll talk to you at the end of the week. Somehow I was restless and decided to take a slow trip through Vermont to visit family members in Albany, NY. Driving through a small town, I saw a library having a book sale. I stopped, of course. Then my foot felt a book that had fallen on the ground. It was a book written for young people back in 1954—"St. John Bosco and the Children's Saint Dominic Savio," by Catherine Beebe. That day, August 16, was the birth date of St. John Bosco!
Of course I bought the book to give to my son. But three days later I received the news from a sheriff in Montana that my son John and his wife had never left Montana. They had been murdered by an intruder as they slept in their bed.
In a strange way, that book, discovered so "coincidentally," consoled me. I felt St. John Bosco had gotten in touch with me to tell me he was with my son John, his namesake. I give special thanks every year to St. John Bosco on his feast day, January 31.

Snakes Native to Northeast Florida
Much of Northeast Florida is an aquatic ecosystem -- the St. Johns River and Mill Cover -- or a forested area -- the Osceola National Forest. These regions are suitable habitats for venomous and non-venomous snakes. Due to their cold-blooded nature, snakes require the warm climates Florida provides throughout the year. Snakes are ecologically important since they help maintain the rodent and lizard populations.
The eastern diamondback rattlesnake, or Crotalus adamanteus, is found in nearly every region of Florida, including Northeast Florida. This venomous snake lives in pine forests and wetland areas, but usually not swamps or marshes. Some eastern diamondback rattlesnakes grow up to 8 feet in length. The snake's rattle, located on its tail, serves as a defense mechanism against predators.
Also known as Sistrurus miliarius barbouri, the venomous dusky pigmy rattlesnake is one of the smallest rattlesnake species; adults only grow between 20 and 30 inches. These snakes are also "pit vipers" due to the pit between their eyes and nostril. Also, dusky pigmy rattlesnakes do not shake their rattle when they are in defense mode.
Rat Snakes
The corn snake, or Pantherophis guttatus, is a reddish-yellow snake found in Northeast Florida. This snake kills its victims by constriction and does not possess any venom. Adult corn snakes prey on rats, birds and bats, while young snakes eat small lizards and frogs. These snakes do not eat every day. When mature, they grow to 6 feet in length.
Pantherophis alleghaniensis, or the eastern rat snake, is also found in Northeast Florida. The main sighting locations are pine forests east of the Apalachicola River. Most eastern rat snakes grow from 3 to 6 feet in length. This snake has orange scales and is non-venomous. Its diet consists of rats, lizards and chickens.
The green water snake, or Nerodia floridana, has greenish scales with brown spots. This snake is found in rivers and lakes in Northeast Florida, including the St. Johns River and Mill Cove. According to the University of Georgia, this snake grows from 4 to 5 feet long. Its primary diet consists of minnows and small fish. Green water snakes usually hunt for prey at night.
Found in the Fun Coast region of Florida -- near Ormond Beach and Daytona -- the Atlantic salt marsh snake, or Nerodia clarkii taeniata, is a small water snake found in marshes and mangrove forests. Most species are found in South Florida. Adult snakes in this species are less than 3 feet. Atlantic salt marsh snakes have grayish scales with brown stripes.
Southern copperheads, or Agkistrodon contotrix, occur throughout the northern region of Florida. This venomous snake has reddish-brown scales. Southern copperheads are active in the spring and fall; during the summer and winter, these animals hibernate in extreme temperatures. Primary habitats are forests, riparian areas and freshwater lakes.
The Florida cottonmouth, or Agkistrodon piscivorus, is found in lakes and forests in Northeast Florida. Cottonmouths in Northeast Florida have two vertical markings on the tip of their noses and stripes on their cheeks. Florida cottonmouths possess olive green and dark brown scales. When fully mature, these venomous snakes are approximately 3 to 6 feet long.

Retro Sidescroller Shooter. Kill enemies, buy guns and upgrade your character!
4.05 / 5.00 69,597 Views99% of population is dead after world nuclear war. Survived animals mutated. No plants, no trees, no oxygen remain on Earth. You got a viable seed - it's time for ressurection. Kill mutants, upgrade your gun and increase skills to grow the plant.
Awesome mechanics that tell the story better than any writing could ever have attempted to say. Badass graphics, sound, music and theme! After playing through it the first time I decided to first spend all my time on research then cash - accuracy and plant and a lil health boost armed with the sniper it took me to the end until i hit that $10,000! Great feeling all kickass with that Gatling! Looking forward to a possible sequel! ;D Speed run - 2 days 3 hours 45 min.
Wow this game is so addictive!!! Completed it in 2 days 23 hours. Exellent game!!!
Good game, but you should make an endless mode after you complete the story. also, i would have hated to have to do the boss fight with the x-ray gun. its not as powerful as these comments insist, and its single shot. i beat the game with mostly rapid fire guns..
*spoiler alert* also, you should have a part 2 where you continue to search for a way to survive on the planet, and attempt to bring oxygen with machines or scrubbers or something. just a suggestion.

Everything go okay?
Yeah, sure. Hell, easy.
No sign of trouble?
What about Lonnegan?
I gave him the breakdown.

Californians recently passed Proposition 2, barring the use of cages in egg production in the state. Because most consumers are unknowledgeable of egg production practices, the appearance of Proposition 2 likely served as an information shock that potentially affected consumer demand. In this paper, we use scanner data to investigate the market effects of Proposition 2 by studying whether and how consumer demand for eggs changed in the months leading up to the vote in San Francisco and Oakland. Results indicate that demand for the types of eggs associated with higher animal welfare standards, cage free and organic, increased over time and in response to articles on the proposition whereas demand for other types of eggs fell. These results coupled with the finding that cage free and organic egg demand was virtually unchanged in a location unaffected by the vote, Dallas, suggests that Proposition 2 had a significant effect on consumer preferences for eggs increasing demand for cage free and organic eggs by 180% and 20%, respectively.

CJ Sports NFL Talk:
Jets May Use Tim Tebow At RB This Sunday -
Tim Tebow's role may expand to include snaps at running back this week when the Jets visit New England in a crucial AFC East clash. With backup tailbacks Bilal Powell (dislocated shoulder) and Joe McKnight (ankle) banged up, Rex Ryan was asked if he might use Tebow to spell Shonn Greene. "That's a possibility," Ryan said (via the Newark Star-Ledger). "The thing about him being a football player, like we've always talked about, by playing quarterback he knows all the positions. We can plug him in at running back we can plug him in at tight end or whatever. I think the answer is yes." In August, Tebow responded to ESPN analyst Merrill Hoge's assertion that he could be an asset at running back for the Jets by reiterating, "I'm a quarterback, first and foremost." But at this point, he seems willing to play any position that will give him more time on the field.

Political Quick Hits: December 14th Edition
Here's your weekly quick look at few developing stories in the political arena:
- Late last week, the Supreme Court has agreed to take up the issue of marriage equality and they will hear two cases challenging state and federal laws that define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. After this recent election, nine states allow same-sex marriage and recent polls show a majority of Americans are in favor of same-sex marriage. A decision by the Supreme Court is expected by June. (NY Times)
- Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, was once thought to inevitably be the next Secretary of State, but on Thursday, she withdrew her name from consideration. In a letter to President Obama, Rice said, "the confirmation process would be lengthy, disruptive, and costly to you and to our most pressing national and international priorities. That trade-off is simply not worth it to our country." Republicans have been critical of Rice's statements about the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. President Obama acknowledged her withdrawal in a statement which he described her as "an extraordinarily capable, patriotic, and passionate public servant." (CNN)
- President Obama proposed to Congress $60 billion in federal disaster aid for damage and relief related to Superstorm Sandy. The proposal is not broken down by state, but includes $15 billion for community development block grants, $9.7 billion to pay federal flood insurance claims, $6.2 billion for public transportation repairs, and about $13 billion for mitigation, or projects to reduce risk of future disaster damage. It has to now be drawn up as a law and then voted on in Congress. (Newsday)
- President Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner met at the White House on Sunday to talk about the fiscal cliff which was the first face-to-face talks in 23 days about the issue.Then they spoke via the phone Tuesday about a counter offer Republicans proposed this week. Finally, they met at the White House Thursday night to continue discussions regarding the fiscal cliff. Many believe the issue of higher taxes, especially on the rich, is the reason a deal has not been reached yet. (CNN)
- Finally. are you sick of your TV commercials being so much louder than the rest of your TV watching? Well, on Thursday, a new rule went into effect that mandates that ads maintain the same volume as TV shows. The FCC, however, will not monitor compliance, but will rely on consumer complaints to assist the commission to enforce the rule. So it's up to you the viewer to report these issues! Complaints can be filed by using the online complaint form, 2000G, at the FCC website HERE
