Whistleblower: FISA 'compromise' advances police state agenda
Retired AT&T engineer Mark Klein has condemned the Senate's Wednesday cloture vote on the FISA Amendments Act of 2008.
The bill, if passed by final vote planned for July 8, would revise the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to retroactively grant immunity to customers' civil lawsuits against telecommunications companies who participated in the National Security Administration's warrantless wiretapping program, on the condition that they can provide documentation that they were told ahead of time that their activities were legal.
Klein, in November 2007, urged Congress not to allow such immunity, having gone public with his story of a secret room in AT&T's San Francisco switching center, which required NSA clearance to enter. All Internet traffic, he said, was being diverted to equipment in the room, as he discovered during his time maintaining optical splitters that handled data to and from AT&T customers.
"[My] thought was George Orwell's 1984 and here I am forced to connect to the Big Brother machine," Klein told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann in a November 2007 interview.
Documents Klein obtained, along with conversations he had with colleagues, suggested that 15 to 20 other sites such as this were in other offices across the country, ABC News reported. The documents, acquired by Wired.com, were submitted as part of a 2006 class action lawsuit, currently awaiting further action in the 9th Circuit US Appeals Court, filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
"[Wednesday]'s vote by Congress effectively gives retroactive immunity to the telecom companies and endorses an all-powerful president," Klein said. "It's a Congressional coup against the Constitution."
"This cynical deal is a Democratic exercise in deceit and cowardice," he went on. "Congress has made the FISA law a dead letter–such a law is useless if the president can break it with impunity. Thus the Democrats have surreptitiously repudiated the main reform of the post-Watergate era and adopted Nixon's line: 'When the president does it that means that it is not illegal.' This is the judicial logic of a dictatorship."

Deja vu all over again
You're a Florida resident. You want to do your civic duty, and vote in the upcoming 2008 election. You fill out your voter registration form promptly and correctly, and turn it in. You're not a convicted felon, and you've lived at the same address in Florida for 20 years — no residency problems.
But, the data entry clerk who entered your name into the voter registration roles made an error, and you were entered as Jon Smith, rather than John Smith. Oh heavens, mistakes are made sometimes, and they're easily fixed. Right?
Wrong. If this error is discovered when you arrive to vote on November 4 — YOU WILL NOT BE VOTING.
At issue is Florida's so-called "no-match, no-vote" law, which allows county officials to reject new voter registration applications if the names on the forms do not match other state databases. Voter advocacy groups sued the state, claiming that database errors can cause applications to be rejected – through no fault of would-be voters.
This week, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida sided with the state, saying it has the right to reject voter applications if they didn't match an applicant's Florida driver's license or the last four digits of their social security number. The state had been sued by a coalition of voting rights groups after election officials rejected applications from 14,000 African-American Floridians dating back to 2006.
That's right, boys and girls. Shades of election year 2000. Who needs Katharine Harris, when you have the U.S. District Court in Florida?
Well, you think, I'll just take my ID to the polls with me — just in case.
"The most senseless part is that the state creates these errors, and then makes it unnecessarily hard to fix the problem," said Elizabeth Westfall of Advancement Project, another attorney for the plaintiffs. "You can't show a passport. You can't show a military ID. And though you can show your driver's license itself, it doesn't count if you show it at the polls – the very place where voters have to show a photo ID anyway."
You cannot fix this at the polls, and you can't even fix it in the weeks leading up to the election. Florida has rules against that sort of thing. They do not have the staff to check all the voter records, and if they happen to find a mistake, you will not be notified. SOL, ladies and gentlemen.
Still, voter advocates hope local Florida election officials will use their discretion to help all voters this fall.
"At the very least, the counties can and should help avoid the chaos that this law creates by making it possible to fix the problem at the polls," said Brian Mellor, attorney for Project Vote, another plaintiff in the suit. "We hope that the (county) Supervisors of Elections use the discretionary power they have to allow corrections at the polls so that voters are inconvenienced as little as possible."
Maybe someone will write a sternly worded letter….
Campaigning far and wide…

Muse's Monday Menagerie
Its Monday! I am looking forward to this weekend when I get to meet with a couple other Critters in the big city! Yay!
Here's a short list of articles and opinion pieces from the past few days..
There appears to be some interesting back and forths going on between Glenn Greenwald and Keith Olbermann over Obama's stance on the FISA Bill. It starts with a blog post by Glenn Greenwald "Keith Olbermann: Then and now", a response by Keith Obermann on Daily Kos "Well, You Stumped Me", then back to Glenn, with "Keith Olbermann's reply and Obama's secret plan to protect the rule of law". Firedoglake has more with "Glenzilla vs. Olbermann: John Dean Weighs In".
I love Keith Olbermann, and I support Barack Obama, but Glenn Greenwald makes some valid points. I am not happy with the direction Obama is going on the FISA Bill, and even though he has my support, it doesn't mean I don't question his stance or hold him to account for it. We have to hold the feet of our leaders to the fire and not just follow them blindly, or we get what we've been through for the last eight years.
Juan Cole of Informed Comment blogs about the words of Lee Iacocca in his post for today. Strong words, and more surprising, from a Republican.. Please read them: "Iacocca: Where the Hell is our Outrage?"
"Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."
"Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!

On AlterNet: "The 'Mortgage Meltdown' Was No Accident".
From BradBlog, "House Judiciary Subpoenas DOJ for Documents on CIA Leak, Selective Prosecutions":
On Friday, just 10 days after the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee issued subpoenas to the Dept. of Justice (DOJ) for notes from a June 2004 interview the FBI conducted with George Bush and Dick Cheney regarding their roles in the CIA leak scandal, the House Judiciary Committee issued subpoenas for documents related to the leak as well as the department's alleged political prosecutions.
From TPM Muckraker: "U.S. Advised Iraqi Ministry On Oil Deals":
A couple weeks ago, we learned that Iraq's oh-so-very-sovereign Ministry of Oil was about to award a round of no-bid contracts to several western oil companies that would bring the large multinationals back into Iraq for the first time in more than 35 years.
The Bush Administration insisted that they were not going to interfere in this deal, which was between Iraq's democratic leaders and private-sector companies.
But today's New York Times report confirms what many people have suspected for years — that U.S. officials are working behind the scenes to influence the future of Iraq's massive oil reserves.
From Democracy Now!: "Hersh: Congress Agreed to Bush Request to Fund Major Escalation in Secret Operations Against Iran":
Congressional leaders agreed to a request from President Bush last year to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran aimed at destabilizing Iran's leadership, according to a new article by veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker magazine. The operations were set out in a highly classified Presidential Finding signed by Bush which, by law, must be made known to Democratic and Republican leaders. The plan allowed up to $400 million in covert spending for activities ranging from supporting dissident groups to spying on Iran's nuclear program.
Here is Seymour Hersh's article from The New Yorker (via Truthout): "Preparing the Battlefield".

McCain lambasted by vets for his GI Bill flip flopping
The site VetVoice had this article posted yesteday.
Lambasting Johns Coryn (R TX) and McCain (R AZ) for their shoddy faux support of Webb's GI Bill. Quoting the article
"Senators John Cornyn and John McCain are like two anti-troop peas in a pod. After voting against the Dwell TIme Amendment that would give soldiers equal time at home as they spent overseas, both adamantly opposed the new GI Bill as "too generous." Going a step further, Cornyn's aide personally told me during a call to his office that the new GI Bill would encourage soldiers to leave the service. Of course, Cornyn pulled that notion out of John McCain's ass, who repeatedly suggested the new GI Bill would harm the military by way of reduced retention. Transferability of the bill to family members never came up during the opposition to this bill. "
McCain then shamelessly tried to take credit for the bill.
Veterans of America, you should know who's on your side, and McIIIrd, it ain't.
What if..?
If Terrorists Rock the Vote in 2008
by Frank Rich – Truthout
Don't fault Charles Black, the John McCain adviser, for publicly stating his honest belief that a domestic terrorist attack would be 'a big advantage' for their campaign and that Benazir Bhutto's assassination had 'helped' Mr. McCain win the New Hampshire primary. His real sin is that he didn't come completely clean on his strategic thinking.
In private, he is surely gaming this out further, George Carlin-style. What would be the optimum timing, from the campaign's perspective, for this terrorist attack – before or after the convention? Would the attack be most useful if it took place in a red state, blue state or swing state? How much would it 'help' if the next assassinated foreign leader had a higher name recognition in American households than Benazir Bhutto?
Unlike Hillary Clinton's rumination about the Bobby Kennedy assassination or Barack Obama's soliloquyremarks were not an improvisational mishap. He gave his quotes on the record to Fortune magazine. He did so without thinking twice because he was merely saying what much of Washington believes. Terrorism is the one major issue where Mr. McCain soundly vanquishes his Democratic opponent in the polls. Since 2002, it's been a Beltway axiom akin to E=mc2 that Bomb in American City=G.O.P. Landslide.
A gaffe – according to the NY Times:
It was the journalist Michael Kinsley who changed Washington's understanding of gaffes with his observation that they occur not when people lie, but when they say what they really think.
Was this a gaffe? Or was it a political calculation.. Charlie Black MAY have committed a huge gaffe with this statement, but I don't believe for a second it was an accident, and it definitely wasn't 'misspeaking'. It may well have been a political calculation – especially beings it was said during an interview for a magazine. His simply apologizing, or 'disavowing' the remark afterwards, after he already got it out there, doesn't really work… Not very convincing. The damage is already done; the idea is already planted.

What a glorious sky last night… There was a pink glow on EVERYTHING.

A broken spear point, missing its tip on the right hand end in this photo, it may have been perhaps 3 inches long intact. The notches for attachment to the shaft are broken off as well. Made from a fine grained jasper that isn't found in the area where this tool was left, it's too large for an arrowhead, possibly the point of an atl-atl (spear-thrower) dart.
The somewhat rough workmanship suggests it is a relatively recent tool, probably nomadic Athapascans (Navajo, Apache), rather than the earlier Desert Archaic peoples who had more refined tool making skills.
Rules regarding artifacts require that they be left undisturbed when found. I take a picture, mark the waypoint in my GPS, and report the details to my district archaeologist. Most sites I run across have already been documented, still it's fun to roll out the maps and locate them.
The best part is to sit down, look around, and begin to imagine who may have been there, where they might have lived, the animals and plants they sought, and the feelings they may have had…

It was the oil all along — naturally
Bill Moyers & Michael Winship, Truthout
Oh, no, they told us, Iraq isn't a war about oil. That's cynical and simplistic, they said. It's about terror and al-Qaeda and toppling a dictator and spreading democracy and protecting ourselves from weapons of mass destruction. But one by one, these concocted rationales went up in smoke, fire and ashes. And now the bottom line turns out to be … the bottom line. It is about oil.
Alan Greenspan said so last fall. The former chairman of the Federal Reserve, safely out of office, confessed in his memoir, "Everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil." He elaborated in an interview with The Washington Post's Bob Woodward, "If Saddam Hussein had been head of Iraq and there was no oil under those sands, our response to him would not have been as strong as it was in the first Gulf War."
Remember, also, that soon after the invasion, Donald Rumsfeld's deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, told the press that war was our only strategic choice. "We had virtually no economic options with Iraq," he explained, "because the country floats on a sea of oil."
Shades of Daniel Plainview, the monstrous petroleum tycoon in the movie, "There Will Be Blood." Half-mad, he exclaims, "There's a whole ocean of oil under our feet!" then adds, "No one can get at it except for me!"
No wonder American troops only guarded the Ministries of Oil and the Interior in Baghdad, even as looters pillaged museums of their priceless antiquities. They were making sure no one could get at the oil except … guess who?
Here's a recent headline in The New York Times: "Deals With Iraq Are Set to Bring Oil Giants Back." Read on: "Four western companies are in the final stages of negotiations this month on contracts that will return them to Iraq, 36 years after losing their oil concession to nationalization as Saddam Hussein rose to power."
There you have it. After a long exile, Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total and BP are back in Iraq. And on the wings of no-bid contracts – that's right, sweetheart deals like those given Halliburton, KBR and Blackwater. The kind of deals you get only if you have friends in high places. And these war profiteers have friends in very high places. Keep reading→
Imagine that….
The war in Iraq was about the oil all along. Not because the terrorists attacked us. Not because Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Not because the Iraqi people needed freeing. Not because it's our manifest destiny to spread democracy across the world. None of that shit.
It's a fact: IT WAS THE OIL, STUPID.
And it will be the same for Iran.
Hey, if anyone stops by to read this post, and still supports this war and/or George W. Bush, I'd like to hear your story.
Vote the right way, or draw back a bloody stump…

Oil Prices Likely to Hit $150 to $170 Per Barrel
These are the prices as estimated by OPEC President Chakib Khelil according to an interview he gave Thursday to Reuters.
Khelil said he doubted prices would climb as high as $200.
"I think that the devaluation of the dollar against the euro, if everything goes as I think it will, will be of the order of perhaps 1-2 percent and this will probably generate an $8 rise in the price of oil," he said.
The head of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, said it had been clearly established that speculation was impacting markets.
"It's not a question, but a certainty. The problem is the extent of that speculation on the market," he said, adding that the effect of the subprime crisis in the United States had affected oil markets.
Asked what the main factor behind the rise in prices had been, he replied: "I think it's the devaluation of the dollar."
Of course Iran sees things differently according to another article from Reuters.
The Revolutionary Guards said Iran would impose controls on shipping in the vital Gulf oil route if Iran was attacked and warned regional states of reprisals if they took part, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
Fear of an escalation in the standoff between the West and Iran, the world's fourth largest oil producer, have been one factor propping up sky-high oil prices. Crude hit a record level on international markets near $143 a barrel on Friday.
Speculation about a possible attack on Iran because of its disputed nuclear ambitions has risen since a report this month said Israel had practiced such a strike, prompting increasingly tough talk of retaliation, if pushed, from Tehran.
President Bush takes no responsibility for high oil prices but the devaluation of the dollar is in large part a result of the money borrowed from China to fund the Iraq war and then there is his eagerness to attack Iran even though their nuclear capabilities have been debunked. His answer is more leases for the oil companies and Senator McCain agrees. It appears there are more immediate remedies.

Reflection for March 9, 2014, The First Sunday of Lent
The Necessity for Lent
The two temptation stories in today's readings focus on original sin and its effects on man's relationship with God. The Book of Genesis recounts the temptation in the Garden of Eden when after eating the fruit, "the eyes of both [Adam and Eve] were opened, and they realized that they were naked." This recounting of the original sin reminds us that we must not aspire beyond that which God intends for us. Adam and Eve's awareness brought them to knowledge that was not theirs to possess. This knowledge led them to question God's plan and their resulting shame and fear became the pattern for man's relationship with God. From this shame and fear the human weaknesses emanate. Satan knows these weaknesses of human nature and plays upon them through temptations. Matthew's gospel tells how Satan was so bold that he tempted Jesus in the desert by appealing to the human weaknesses of appetite, pride, and idolatry. But Jesus resists the devil three times and casts him away saying, "The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve." Jesus' words remind us that Lent is the time to renew and restore our relationship with God as we ask that his bountiful blessing "come down upon [us], that hope may grow in tribulation, virtue be strengthened in temptation, and eternal redemption be assured through Christ our Lord" (Prayer Over the People).
La Necesidad de la Cuaresma
En las lecturas de hoy se narran dos historias de tentación que se enfocan en el pecado original y el efecto de este en la relación del hombre con Dios. El Libro del Génesis recuenta la tentación en el Jardín del Edén, después de comer la fruta, "se les abrieron los ojos a los dos y se dieron cuenta de que estaban desnudos." Este recuento del pecado original nos recuerda que no debemos aspirar más allá de lo que Dios quiere para nosotros. Adán y Eva obtuvieron un conocimiento que no era para ellos. Este conocimiento los llevó a cuestionar el plan de Dios y el resultado, la vergüenza y el miedo, se convirtieron en el patrón de la relación del hombre con Dios. La debilidad humana brota de esta vergüenza y miedo. Satanás conoce estas debilidades de la naturaleza humana y juega con ellas por medio de la tentación. El Evangelio de san Mateo nos relata que tan astuto fue satanás al tentar a Jesús en el desierto, tentando sus debilidades humanas de apetito, orgullo e idolatría. Pero Jesús resistió al demonio tres veces y lo alejó, "Adorarás al Señor, tu Dios, y a él sólo servirás." La palabras de Jesús nos recuerdan que la Cuaresma es un tiempo de renovar y restaurar nuestra relación con Dios, de pedirle que su abundante bendición descienda sobre nosotros, que la esperanza crezca en la tribulación, la virtud se fortalezca en la tentación, y la redención eterna sea asegurada por Cristo nuestro Señor.

Atlanta Readers: Win Passes to See VERONICA MARS
by Matt Goldberg Posted 5 days ago
Okay, "marshmallows", after a seven-year absence, private investigator Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) is back. The show's devoted fan-base powered the film adaptation to a lightning-fast $2 million Kickstarter goal and beyond. As you've seen from the trailer, there's a lot of love for the fans, but from what I've heard, this isn't going to be off-putting to everyone else. I believe that the show's inherent charm can woo the uninitiated, and have them running back to see where the drama all began. So whether you're a fan or a newbie, all are welcome.
I'm pleased to announce we're giving away 20 pairs of passes to the Atlanta screening of Veronica Mars, and since the movie involves a high-school reunion, the first 10 pass holders to bring their high school yearbook to the screening will win priority seating for themselves and one guest. Hit the jump to find out how you can see the movie early and for free. Veronica Mars hits VOD and opens in theaters on March 14th.

During a lengthy presentation on the medical device business — the world's largest — managers of its three divisions said they intend to increase market share, partly by expanding sales into more countries.
Other sales-boosting strategies they cited include developing innovative products, such as a new artificial knee with improved range of motion that makes climbing stairs easier. Another is giving customers ''both clinical and economic value,'' as with a program J&J developed to speed up each step in treating patients with new hip fractures — so they're sent home from the hospital quicker, saving insurance plans lots of money.

If you were Oscar'd out by the time the marathon telecast ended, you probably didn't stick around to catch Jimmy Kimmel's 9th annual Oscar special. I don't blame you. We were all exhausted as well and opted to watch Girls and Looking instead. Thankfully, Kimmel uploaded his best moments on YouTube.
By far, the highlights were the late night host's faux movie trailers based on popular viral videos. He enlisted a bunch of stars including Meryl Streep, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Samuel L. Jackson to name a few.
My favorite was Queen Latifah starring as Sweet Brown of "I ain't got time for that" fame. Brown, herself appears in the clip to put her hands on Matt Damon's mouth. Lucky girl. Another favorite was Chris Hemsworth starring opposite his brother Liam, parodying "Charlie, bit my finger." Check out all the trailers below.
The original Endless Love film is notable for two reasons. One for marking Tom Cruise's silver screen debut and the other for spawning the timeless ballad of the same name featuring Lionel Richie and Diana Ross. That classic love song played at numerous weddings for decades. I'm pretty sure it gets spun at nuptials to this day.
While promoting the film remake, Alex Pettyfer busted out an impromptu duet on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Being the gay tease that he his, Alex chose the Diana parts. My type of guy ;) It's definitely worth a watch. At one point, Pettyfer gets out of his seat and sits on Kimmel's lap. What I wouldn't give to be Kimmel's legs at that point. I think I'd bust a nut if the sexy Brit serenaded me while straddling my hips.
Endless Love is in theaters now. Gabriella Wilde and Pettyfer play the star-crossed lovers immortalized by Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt in the original. Check out Pettyfer and Kimmel's loving duet below.
Hands down, this is the funniest thing Jimmy Kimmel has done in a while. It's amazing how with a change of music and new voiceover, a brand new narrative for Thor: The Dark World is born. With Katrina and the Waves' "Walking On Sunshine" blaring in the background, all of a sudden the Marvel superhero flick is a romantic comedy about Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) looking for love. Is it sad that I actually want to see this?
Check out the trailer for Thor Actually below. As a side note, Love Actually was released 10 years ago this month. Can you believe it's been a decade? Holy balls, I'm old.
Kanye West visited Jimmy Kimmel last night to squash their "epic" two week "rap feud." Even though both maintained that the entire thing wasn't a publicity stunt or staged, I still call BS. Perhaps not on Kimmel's part, but the Twitter insults from West's end reek of a Kardashian antic. Don't you agree?
In honor of Kanye's appearance, Jimmy resurrected his Mean Tweets segment. This time only featuring musicians. Watch the likes of Selena Gomez, John Legend, Pharrell, John Mayer,Adam Levine, the Backstreet Boys and Ke$ha read unflattering Tweets about themselves from their respective haters. The insults directed at country artists like Darius Rucker, Brad Paisley and Lady Antebellum are the best. Check out the music edition below.
The entire adult cast of Modern Family popped up on last night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. The late night host pitted them against each other for a round of the classic game show, Family Feud. Kimmel divided them via familial lines. On one side were the Pritchetts (Ed O'Neill, Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and on the other the In-Laws (Sofia Vergara, Ty Burrell and Eric Stonestreet). Watch the battle below and see which team walks away with the first ever Modern Family Feud crown.
Jimmy Kimmel is at it again. A few months ago, he duped concertgoers at Coachella and now it's poor unsuspecting folks at New York Fashion Week. If there was an industry where fake it, til you make it applies the most, it's certainly in fashion. There's definitely plenty of blowing hot air in numerous asses going on there ;) Such easy targets.
In his latest edition of Lie Witness News, he sends a correspondent to interview fashion week attendees. Naturally mixed in with real designers, the interviewer throws in a few made-up ones as well. Not surprisingly, several of them fake knowing the faux designers and give their two cents about their runway shows.
Check out what fashionistas have to say about collections by Eddie Munster, George Costanza and Willy Loman below. The impromptu lying that takes place on the spot is amazing. Even more hilarious is what occurs at the end of the clip. The vision of a couple of them hopping around, pretending they're wearing the new (nonexistent) "uni-boot" from Christian Louboutin is priceless.
All hail Jimmy Kimmel. The late night talk show host can execute a prank like no other. Late last week, a girl calling herself Caitlin Heller uploaded a video on YouTube that went viral. In the clip, she caught on fire after a twerking mishap. Millions viewed it and numerous media outlets showed it on their respective telecast.
As it turns out, the woman is a stuntwoman named Daphne Avalon and Kimmel was the mastermind behind it all. He made the juicy revelation on his show last night via a director's cut of the clip. Watch the reveal below.
"I guess I picked the wrong day to serve waffles," says Channing Tatum with a straight face. Forget what national security has to say, President Obama can take care of himself. It's all about protecting recipes from those evil IHOP employees or as he calls them… Hoppers. Al-Qaeda has nothing on these pancake shilling terrorists.
Waffle House Down is a ridiculous, yet amusing, parody of Tatum and Jamie Foxx's film, White House Down in theaters today. The clip appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the birthplace of Channing's other hilarious offering, "Channing All Over Your Tatum." Watch the 33-year-old actor fend off Hoppers with his killer waffles below. It'll put a smile on your face. The elderly couple trying to have breakfast while mayhem ensues around them are adorable.

Traveling to Vietnam was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I most likely would not have had if it wasn't for the Take a Friend Home Program. Through the program I was able to spend two weeks with a good friend of mine, Nhung, and her family in Ho Chi Minh City.
During my stay in Vietnam, Nhung and her family (and extended family and friends) showed me a great deal of their beautiful country, food, and their culture. My first days in the country were spent at beautiful Mui Ne Beach on the South China Sea, followed by another four day stint in Dalat. Ho Chi Minh City itself was very unique and beautiful in its own way and the various open markets were definitely a sight to see. Other places we visited included some Cham
towers near Mui Ne, multiple temples, Datala Falls, the Cu Chi Tunnels, War Remnants Museum, one of Bao Dai's palaces located in Dalat, and a place called the Lake of Gold, also located near Dalat.
One of my favorite experiences during the trip would have to have been our visit to a mountain tribe in Dalat where we were treated to their traditional songs, dances, and food (including the famous rice wine) and were even allowed to get involved. The second event that was truly a lesson in Vietnamese culture was the 80th birthday party of Nhung's grandmother. All of the family arrived for the event as well as a small group of monks to perform a ceremony for the family. Watching part of the ceremony and meeting and observing Nhung's family was an incredibly enriching experience that I doubt I'll ever forget.
I learned a great deal about Vietnamese culture, language, food, and history during my short stay but also
learned to see myself and my own country from another view point. At the same time I think that I helped Nhung and her family learn as well, even about their own country. Without the Take a Friend Home Program, however, we would never have had such a wonderful opportunity to broaden our horizons.

Somali pirates free hijacked Ukrainian ship
The reported release of the freighter, carrying 33 tanks and other heavy weapons, closes a brazen chapter in the Somali piracy saga.
The US Navy, Ukrainian officials, and Somali pirates all told news sources today that more than four months after the MV Faina was captured, the pirates are at last freeing the ship. All for the low price of $3.2 million, according to pirate spokesman Sugule Ali, who spoke to the Associated Press by satellite phone. (Originally the group had demanded $20 million.)

The release of the MV Faina is a welcome close to one of the most brazen episodes in Somali piracy, which the Monitor has been tracking since at least 2005. In September, the Ukrainian freighter carrying 33 Russian T-72 tanks – as well as antiaircraft guns and rocket-propelled grenades – was swarmed by speedboats and overtaken by pirates.
Though one of 70 or more captures last year, the incident particularly concerned foreign diplomats who were worried that the arms would be used to further destabilize Somalia. To read more about the sense of urgency surrounding that capture, click here.
An international effort was launched to curb the piracy trend. With oil ships getting caught in the fray, any nation dependent on oil imports had reason to be concerned. We wrote a number of articles about the different parties getting involved:
The United Nations, the US and the European Union
Eye-patch and 'arrrgh's? Not so much.
So who are these pirates, anyway? Where do they come from, and what's their motivation? The Monitor's Africa bureau chief, Scott Baldauf, laid it out well in a must-read Q&A. Here's an excerpt:
That financial incentive seems to have expanded lawlessness beyond Somalia's land borders and into the waters off its coast – even hundreds of miles off its coast. In 2008 alone, at least 70 vessels were hijacked, and pirates extorted more than $150 million in ransom, reported Monitor foreign policy correspondent Howard LaFranchi in a recent article.
That, according to the Piracy Reporting Center (part of the International Maritime Bureau) makes the Gulf of Aden the most dangerous waterway on earth. But if piracy is so bad there, why do ships keep going through those waters? As Howard explained, the Gulf of Aden is an economic lifeline used for shipping a substantial portion of the world's oil.
Extra motivation now to stabilize Somalia
The upside to the piracy spree is that it's spurred international efforts to address the lawlessness and instability that have plagued Somalia since 1991. You probably remember the movie Black Hawk Down, which popularized Clinton's failure to address the problem in the 1990s. Well, it's still a mess, as Scott explained in a look-ahead piece on Somalia in 2009:
We'll see.

The crocus bulbs, in the same planter as my narcissus, must have started to bloom while I was away in the nation's capital for almost 2 weeks. I thought I had put in enough water before leaving, but they probably needed more frequent watering as some of them did not make it.
Nevertheless there are several white crocus, at varying stages, to grace my sunny living room while a lot of snow still covered the ground and today the famous groundhog forecast 6 more weeks of winter.
For now, I am content with my indoor crocus.

St. Luke's Hospital has been named one of the nation's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals by Truven Health Analytics, formerly Thomson Reuters.
The study examined the performance of more than 1,000 hospitals by analyzing outcomes for patients with heart failure and heart attacks and for those who received coronary bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary interventions such as angioplasties. This is the fourth time in ten years St. Luke's has been recognized with this honor. This year's winners were announced in Modern Healthcare magazine.
"Given the objectivity of this award - it is truly a prestigious national honor for excellence in heart care," said Ted Townsend, St. Luke's President & CEO. "Hospitals do not pay for this award. It is earned based on rigorous analysis by Truven."
"This award is a tribute to the entire heart care team at St. Luke's," said Todd Langager, MD, Cardiologists, L.C. "It demonstrates our commitment to providing the highest quality of care to our patients."
"This year's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals have proven that a commitment to deliver excellent care is still attainable in times of economic uncertainty," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement and the 100 Top Hospitals® program at Truven Health Analytics. "The hospitals in this study have achieved higher levels of care and efficiency than their peers, demonstrating incredibly strong focus by cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and cardiovascular service administrators and staff on basic care and outcomes."
The study shows that cardiovascular outcomes in U.S. hospitals are improving nationwide. Across all U.S. hospitals, 96 percent of cardiovascular inpatients survive and remain complication-free. Among the 50 Top Hospitals, performance surpasses these high-water marks as indicated by:
• Better risk-adjusted survival rates (41 percent fewer deaths than expected, compared with nine percent fewer than expected at peer hospitals) for bypass surgery patients.
•Lower complications indices (35 percent lower rate of heart failure complications than peers).
• Fewer patients readmitted to the hospital after 30 days.
• Shorter hospital stays. The typical winning hospital released their bypass patients a full day sooner, and their heart attack and heart failure patients about three-quarters of a day sooner than their peers.
• Lower costs. Top hospitals spend $3,500 less per bypass case and $1,000 less per angioplasty than non-winners.
The study evaluated general and applicable specialty, short-term, acute care, non-federal U.S. hospitals treating a broad spectrum of cardiology patients.
Truven Health Analytics researchers analyzed 2010 and 2011 Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data, 2010 Medicare cost reports, and 2012 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare data. They scored hospitals in key performance areas: risk-adjusted mortality, risk-adjusted complications, core measures (a group of measures that assess process of care), percentage of coronary bypass patients with internal mammary artery use, 30-day mortality rates, 30-day readmission rates, severity-adjusted average length of stay, and wage- and severity-adjusted average cost.

If trees could talk, the old Amur cork tree at Harvard's Arnold Arboretum might have made it through another New England winter.
But instead, adoring visitors have smothered the 121-year-old tree to death with love. None of the admirers who frequented the park and climbed onto its inviting limbs knew that they were contributing to its eventual demise.
The tree was ailing, partially because of the years of human weight piled upon its branches. In addition to the normal troubles of old age, this phellodendron amurense suffered from the past summer's 40-day drought.
So when 22 sixth grade girls from Boston's Winsor School clambered onto the tree's low branches for their annual Arboretum photograph on Thursday, a huge horizontal limb cracked and the trunk split to the ground.
The students escaped injury, quickly climbing down from the tree.
The phellodendron amurense did not fare as well. Arboretum workers removed three quarters of the tree on Friday because they felt it posed a hazard to visitors.
They left the cracked trunk and one long, low branch which sweeps the ground to an expanse of about 20 feet.
The tree's grandeur has been reduced to the form of a bench that will remain indefinitely, according to Assistant Director for Living Collections Peter Del Tredici.
"Everybody's heart broke.... Who wants to be on the cork tree when it cracks?" said Karen Funkenstei science teacher at Winsor who was with the students on their annual field trip to the Arboretum.
Del Tedici was more philosophical about the loss.
"It died as it lived.... Eventually, In the past, Arboretum officials had difficulty keeping visitors off the tree, which graces Meadow Road, Del Tredici said. Approximately 200,000 people visited the park each year, attaching themselves to the tree's branches and suffocating its roots. Arboretum pruners had also been removing dead branches from the tree over the past 10 years, increasing its frailty, he said. The tree had come to be personified as a gentle, inviting grandparent figure in the park. "It was the sweetest tree," Funkenstein said. And just as grandparents are symbols of a vivid past, the old cork tree has its own remarkable history. Just two years after the Arboretum was founded in 1872, this amurense arrived in Boston as a seed from the Imperial Botanic Garden in St. Petersburg, Russia. In fact, the name amurense is derived from the fact that it originates in the Amur River valley in Manchuria, host to harsh winters. Dubbed 143-A in its new home, indicating that it was the 143rd tree to join the arboretum, the cork tree was probably one of the very first trees planted on the grounds of the park. By yesterday, two weeks after its 121st birthday, the tree had become an Arboretum legend. Even cut down it may continue in this role, as part of Harvard's annual capital campaign. A potential plan is to create discs from the saved wood of the removed portions of the tree, which might be presented to financial donors to the Arboretum as an expression of gratitude, Del Tredici said. The tree's collapse may also provide an opportunity to educate park visitors about the effects of human ignorance on the environment. Del Tredici notes, however, that most of the people who come to the Arboretum ignore the anti-climbing warnings. "People just don't think," he said

Almost two years ago I launched a little experimental site called CarFilter.co.uk, which was a Google Custom Search Engine for UK car reviews.
It never really got any traction, so I've taken the decision to close it down.
Almost two years ago I launched a little experimental site called CarFilter.co.uk, which was a Google Custom Search Engine for UK car reviews.
It never really got any traction, so I've taken the decision to close it down.
In an attempt to make finding high quality reviews easier, I've added a new navigation feature to most of the reviews on Carsurvey.org.
Where there's at least three reviews for a particular car model, the old "All XXX YYY reviews" link is supplemented by two Recommended Reviews at the foot of the main review text. These reviews are chosen based on the following:
Also, there's a predictable order in the recommended reviews, so it can be used as a next/previous system for reading recommended reviews.
As usual, this has also been rolled out to the motorcycle and mobile phone sites, and any feedback would be much appreciated.
Following a request from a regular visitor, I've just released an update to Carsurvey.org (and related sites), which displays flag icons in various lists of reviews.
The flags are pretty small, but that's so they're not overly distracting on a text-centric site. Related to this, the happy and sad faces have been deemphasized, to allow the consistent placement of the icons.
The Reviews by Regions feature is still available for visitors who want to only see reviews from a specific region.
Thanks to Mark James for the excellent free flag icon set that I've used.
I've recently been busy with lots on unglamorous infrastructure work (if you've ever heard of Unicode, you'll feel my pain), but in a spare hour I found the time to make a small improvement to the Airline Flight Reviews site.
Previously the front page used to show the 100 or so airlines with the most reviews.
Now the page shows the airlines (around 75) with the most reviews of flights from the last few years.
So many of the once popular airlines (GO for example) that no longer exist have been banished from the front page, and some newer airlines (such as Silverjet) have taken their place.
Hopefully this will make it easier to find recent reviews for popular airlines.
For anyone who's interested, the Google AdSense Blog has recently added an article featuring Carsurvey.org. There's a bit of site history in there, as well as various suggestions for optimising the performance of Google AdSense placements.
After spending far more time than I originally intended, I've just released improved search functionality to Carsurvey.org.
New features include:
Carsurvey.org now displays the engine details in the lists of reviews on the site. Sounds like a trivial change (and it was in terms of the coding required), but in a classic case of why you should eat your own dog food, I was struggling to find reviews of a 1.6 Vauxhall Zafira on my own website (someone I know bought one recently).
It's rare that you get to view a site that you work on every day, through the eyes of a normal user, so not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, I've made some changes to the layout of the pages that list the reviews by model.
I much prefer the new layout (I tested quite a few alternatives), and hopefully regular visitors will like it too.
I've just release an update to Carsurvey.org, which displays average review scores for different model, region and year combinations. See the Ford Focus Statistics for an example, and note the warning about not reading too much into these statistics.
A few people have asked me for a similar feature over the years, and if it gets a lot of use, I'll spend more time on improving it.
To clarify things for those who are interested, the averages displayed are arithmetic means. Whilst writing this feature, I experimented with more statistical language, and other statistical measures, but came to the conclusion that it was best to keep things simple.
The statistics pages are also being used to test a new URL structure.
to an old style
Forced lower case, slashes instead of underscores, much easier to guess URLs, and all content from a particular region in its own subdirectory.
In case I forget, these changes also apply to the motorcycle and mobile phone sites.
The airline site has just received a set of minor updates:
A full rewrite of the Airline site (probably under its own domain) is on my todo list, but I don't have any timescales for that right now.
As the removal of filtering by review quality has become a permanent change, I've just disabled the ability to vote on the quality of reviews. The votes could no longer significantly affect the structure of the site, so facility has been removed for the foreseeable future. Apologies for not getting round to making this change sooner (I was preoccupied with the recent server move).
Voting in the members area, and to indicate whether comments are on-topic, are still available.

DES digging into ground under old New Ipswich service station
According to Joyce Bledsoe of the department's Oil Remediation and Compliance Bureau, the contamination beneath the old gas station has existed since 1989 and was caused by a series of leaks from underground tanks over the station's 60-year history.
There were several attempts to mitigate the soil contamination in order to protect the groundwater, but Bledsoe said that because of the building's location, it was impossible to remove all the soil. In 2006, soil was taken from the parking area, but that left plenty of contaminated ground untouched.
"The State of New Hampshire wants all of its groundwater to be of drinking water quality," said Bledsoe.
"We have a lot of these projects, a lot of sites that are contaminated," said Bledsoe, "and the state Reimbursement Insurance Fund pays for the cleanups."

I don't know what you have to Tenma - she is a great girl, cheerful, kind and funny. She is just stupid and clumsy, but Harima is pretty much the same....(at least he is clumsy when it comes to dealing with other people or keeping his emotions low).
Eri doesn't need to end with anyone from class or need to end up with anyone in this manga, she just doesn't match to Harima - as she saw it herself, she has almost nothing in common with Harima (except aggressive character and that they hate shrimps).
You shouldn't be shaking my hand so vigorously. I don't have anything against Oudou because it would frighten me; I'm against it because I like Flag a lot more. Oudou would be my second choice after Flag. The only pairings I'm dead set against are ones I find boring, like Glasses.
I'm guessing most people resent her because she poses a threat to Flag and Onigiri, and are magnifying her flaws to justify their hatred of her character.
Harima only acts clumsy around Tenma and Eri. He's pretty good at staying calm and collected around everyone else.
Chapter 205 illustrates a problem I have with the "similarities" Harima has with Tenma: I have trouble telling which similarities are real, and which are artificial. Harima frequently tries to create things in common between them that don't actually exist.
After Eri assumed that she had nothing in common with Harima, she immediately finds out that they both don't like shrimp. I'm sure she would find they have more in common should she spend more time with him. It doesn't really matter to me if she finds she has more in common with Harima, though. I guess you wouldn't understand because you don't like Flag, but some of the appeal of Flag comes from the idea of the two being together despite apparently having little in common.
Part of the reason they match up is because their differences in personalities complement each other. Harima is prone to delusions of fancy, and Eri knocks him back down to reality, as seen in Chapter 217; this is the strength Eri has that Yakumo does not, according to Yakumo in Chapter 216. Eri, on the other hand, has issues with her confidence, but Harima can motivate her into action, and so on.

Oh yess, the long discussion is back. Hey we the member of SR sub section has a reputation to keep guys.... So here goes nothing .....
Errr, some of the readers dislike Tenma's clumsiness anyways. Beside SHE is the one Harima likes. So see it like this Flag and Onigiri is a threat to Odou as well. And because Odou occured first, it would be more appropriate to say like this. This i said in consideration that Tenma is a threat to Flag and Onigiri because Harima like her not the vice versa
Note that Harima acts clumsy around Eri mainly if it has something to do with the involvement of Tenma....
YESSSSS, this is the main cause why i dislike Odou. It seems that Harima is building an entirely "fake Harima" to attract Tenma. I don't like that. Not that i don't understand how he feel..
I understand ur point, but like i has said prev. Eri didn't match Harima. Besides because of their different social status it will be a harder road a head of them. And personally i believe at this point Eri lacks the determination of love toward Harima that will make her able to withstand poverty :P.
My endings would always included the fact of True Odou, Harima goes lonely is acceptable by me. Cause it is still High School, he got college and work life anyways.. So long as it is True odou...... Raised the Banner

Chapter 210 disagrees with this. Also, his behaviour towards Eri in Chapter 217 is totally messed up without Tenma having anything to do with it.
Im not exactly sure how they dont match. Just because theyre in different social classes? Because they don't always act exactly the same way? You know, basically everyone in the cast agrees that they match up, so there's got to be something there.
Uh, they wouldn't be in poverty. It's not like Eri would lose all her money if she started going out with Harima. Also, do you really think Harima is going to stay poor? He's already got a job drawing manga.
Another point, Eri says in one chapter that she wants to strike off on her own later in life, so I think shed be able to withstand poverty better than you think.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Wells, like i said mainly so not all. There is a few exception. Personally i think in the love hotel situation that is Harima's normal reaction toward anyother girls ( except for Tenma i think ). Besides if we added the chap.217 in the equation. It is because mainly he feel awkward toward knowing that Eri loved/liked him. So it is natural.. But it still to early to say that Eri caused Harima acts clumsy...
. Well, let's just say that it is my perception while reading the stories. A good couple must have some common in them to succeed. Hehehehe. Well, i just see that the social status difference will be quite a big obstacle in their road. Like maybe Eri's parents will be unable to agree with their relation and some sort.
Hahaha, maybe i'm the one who is harsh here. Well, let's just say that Harima is poorer than Eri. So it will be hard for Eri to join Harima's life style. And don't u know that manga drawers is poor >.< .....
And she only says that sentences. we ought to see wether she can stand it or not. Many people says things like that but when she/he was faced with it they can't face it so well..
The exception seems to be becoming the rule as the story goes along.
As for the love hotel, and that being a normal reaction for Harima towards any other girl, remember the complete lack of awkwardness Harima felt when he was on top of Yakumo.
Why does the knowledge that Eri might love him make him so awkward? Why does Harima try so hard to perceive her as a villain? He looks like hes trying too hard, in my opinion.
Similar tastes in food is good way to start. This is fiction, you know, so Kobayashi can just make up enough stuff for them to have in common as he goes along.
This might be a problem in real life, but School Rumble is a story. In stories, obstacles tend to be overcome.
Well, Eri doesnt seem to be having any trouble integrating herself into the lower-class society at her part-time job in Chapter 154. Also, she is attending a poorer high school than she could be going to.
Eri hasnt been exhibiting any strong signs of a spoiled rich brat who cant live without money, and actually shows signs of the opposite of what her archetype would be. I think you need to stop looking at her archetype and look at her actual character, here.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Yes, if the story goes along the flag way it will be the rule. Besides, after the confession by Harima in the roof toward Eri, we still don't know how will KJ twist it.
Harima is a focus person. so at that moment, i think that because he is focusing on collecting material for his manga. He didn't think anything weird.
This is only my hypotesis so maybe it will be not so good. He feels awkward because :
1. He didn't like Eri in the first place and he didn't want to hurt her feeling cause he knows the feeling of loving someone.
2. Because of that reason 1 he is confused in how to react towards Eri feelings.
Well, although i must said that there is hope for flag if he feels awkward rather than hating Eri....
Yes, i agree. My POV is based on past stories in SR and my own predicament. So, i don't really know how the stories will progressed. As such i can only say that if it going like this i still find that Eri didn't match Harima.
I happened to doubt her to live so smoothly in an environment lower then her economy. That's all. Even if he can integrated herself to the society,she still have that big house of her and maid and driver .
hmm about me i voted also for eri harima or yakumo or harima
but well IMO when the ending comes to eri and harima dont you think SR will have a prolong and new twist on the story because seems like the financial status of harima and eri are kinda different so it might take the story to prolonged because theres a chance that eri parent wont approve and they would fight for their love on the way ^^ more power to SR
If Harima was in that situation with Eri or Tenma, do you really think he wouldn't have perceived it in a romantic light?
I agree that Harima is good at focusing his attention on something so that he doesn't notice girls...so long as he isn't around Tenma or Eri.
You weren't really supposed to answer those questions. I added that I think he's trying too hard to imply that Harima feels threatened because he feels his feelings for Tenma are in jeopardy whenever he's around her. A fear that he might like Eri more than Tenma.
As for why I don't think your hypothesis is correct, compare how Harima reacts to Tae with his reaction to Eri. Harima doesn't really feel awkward around Tae, despite Tae making considerably more obvious advances on Harima than Eri.
Your doubts are rather unfounded. Besides, I really doubt that either would remain poor. Only unsuccessful mangaka stay poor, and I doubt Harima would be unsuccessful when he's managed to get a manga serialized at the age of seventeen. As for Eri, she's shown herself to be competent at most everything she does, and I'm sure that competence would transfer into whatever career she goes for.
The likely twist to the story in a Flag ending would be a role reversal for Eri and Harima, with Harima pursuing an apparently uninterested Eri. Chapter 217 has the beginnings of this sort of plot twist.
