Hashim Khan, who learnt to play squash by taking the balls from British Military officers in Pakistan, died on Monday in Denver. His son Mohammad confirmed his death and he was believed to be 100. He began working as a ball bearing boy in the British Officers club at Peshawar when Pakistan was still under the British rule. His father worked as the head cook for the British military.
Khan used to play barefoot after the officers vacated the court and even didn't take many lunches so that they would give him squash lessons. When he was 30, he became a national champion and made it to the squash open final of the British by defeating Abdul Bari of Bombay. In 1951 Khan's supporters raised money so that he could go to the tournament like Bari did. It had become an issue of national pride by then as Pakistan had become independent.
Now, at the Open he was several years older compared to other first timers. This was Squash's most awaited and celebrated event. Khan defeated a string of the best players the world has ever seen and came out with a very impressive debut. He became the Open champion when he defeated Mahmud Karim of Egypt who was a four time champion of the Open. After that Khan won the open for eight years. In 1956 Khan defeated his cousin Roshan but the next year, Roshan defeated Khan and took over the title.
In 1958, Khan defeated his younger brother Azam and after that many family members started participating and winning the tournament. There has been 41 British Open Tournaments played between 1951-1991 but it has always been one Khan family member defeating another Khan member in the Finals.
The Khan family won 23 tournament titles. Sam Khan, son of Hashim Khan says that his father was several years older than he said he was because his date of birth was not certain. He also said that his father was aa person who never got to know how good he was until he was given an opportunity.

The Killarney Cougars defeated Prince Wales of Walesmen by 7-4. With this win on May 9, the Killarney became Vancouver's senior city champions. The Prince of Wales impressive record of only one lost in its past 21 matches fell to 21-2 as a result and stopped their championship streak at three. Experts believe that this win will boost confidence of the Killarney as they have earned a direct entry to the provincial championships while the Prince of Wales will have to compete at the Lower Mainland regional matches in order to get a provincial spot. Now it is time to see how the Prince of Wales performs in the next few matches to be at par with the Killarney Cougars.
But in the last year matches, the results were entirely different for the Prince of Wales. When the Killarneys had a confrontation with the Prince of Wales then the Walesmen won the match by 6-5. To get a place at the provincial level the Cougars then had to beat their cross town rivals. Finally, the Killarney finished fourth at the provincial level. But this year, the fans the followers of the Walesmen had to witness a heartbreaking show.
Last year the city final began very well for the Walesmen. There were better performances from the girls' team as they won four double matches back to back giving the Walesmen a major boost. But similar high voltage show was missing from the boys' squad as they failed to deliver in the crucial matches and the Killarneys won the last two matches of the tournament deciding the fate of the championship. Audience witnessed enough excitement in the matches between Killarney's Law/Yee won the first set with a nail biting 21-19 finish. The long rallies already made both the teams exhausted and finally in the set second set Killarney's gave up nine points.

Enhanced Oil Recovery & Agriculture
Agricultural industries and communities can benefit from selling CO2 to meet the growing demand for CO2 to boost domestic oil production.
The agriculture sector can supply high purity, manmade CO2 to access domestic oil resources in existing oil fields.
Agriculture industry opportunities for capturing CO2 to spur EOR expansion include:
- Ethanol production: The capture of biogenic emissions from ethanol production is technologically straightforward given the pure stream of CO2 produced in the fermentation process. Many ethanol plants sell CO2 to the food and beverage industry, but CO2-EOR represents a much larger market.
- Domestic fertilizer production: CO2 capture from fertilizer production is fully commercial and relies on the same proven technology platform used in compressing and dehydrating natural gas.
- Gasification of biomass with fossil fuels: CO2 capture from gasification of biomass, by itself or with fossil feedstocks for production of electricity and liquid fuels, holds promise for increasing both domestic energy production and reducing carbon emissions.
Agricultural industries present an important, early opportunity to provide CO2 for EOR because of the relatively low cost of capturing CO2 from these types of facilities
Build-out of pipeline infrastructure is required to support expansion of CO2-EOR.
CO2 pipelines have operated in the US for decades and there are currently over 3,900 miles of CO2 pipelines. Additional infrastructure is required to expand domestic oil production by gathering CO2 from sources such as ethanol and fertilizer facilities and transporting the CO2 to EOR operations by pipeline.
Integrating CO2-EOR with agricultural industries provides an opportunity for lowering the carbon intensity of agricultural products.
The environmental benefits of CO2-EOR provides agricultural industries a commercially proven option for complying with emerging and expected state, regional and international lowcarbon fuels policies. For example, capturing CO2 from ethanol plants and permanently storing it in EOR formations significantly lowers the carbon intensity of the ethanol plant operation, and potentially commands higher prices in states with Low Carbon Fuel Standards and other policies that create incentives for lower carbon intensity fuels.
Agricultural industries are working to advance and integrate technologies that can contribute to expanding CO2-EOR.
For example, ADM's Illinois Industrial Carbon Capture and Sequestration (ICCS) Project will be a commercial-scale example of a CO2 capture and storage project at an ethanol facility and builds on ADM's experience with a smaller-scale project. ADM will capture one million tons of CO2 per year at their ethanol production plant using dehydration and compression for transport, injection and geologic storage in the Mt. Simon Sandstone Formation. The ICCS project is carried out in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
Another example is Chaparral Energy, which has CO2-EOR projects in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Since 1982, the Chaparral and Merit Enid Fertilizer Project has captured and transported CO2 from an ammonia nitrogen fertilizer plant in Enid, Oklahoma to EOR fields in southern Oklahoma. Every year, about 600,000 tons of CO2are captured and injected, demonstrating the longevity of manmade CO2-EOR projects. Looking ahead to 2013, Chaparral will begin capturing about 850,000 tons of CO2 per year from an ammonia nitrogen fertilizer plant in Coffeyville, Kansas, and will transport the CO2 via pipeline approximately 70 miles to an EOR field for CO2-EOR recovery and simultaneous carbon storage. This project will be the largest CO2 capture and injection operation in N. America involving CO2 emissions from a fertilizer facility.
Enhanced Oil Recovery Safety
Where does the CO2 come from and where does it go? Today, most of the CO2 used in EOR operations is from natural underground 'domes' of CO2. With the natural supply of CO2 limited, man-made CO2 from the captured CO2 emissions of power plants and industrial facilities can be used to boost oil production through EOR.
Once CO2 is captured, it is compressed and transported by pipeline to oil fields. During EOR operations, CO2is injected into the oil formation where it mixes with the oil and helps move the oil through the formation and to the production wells. CO2 that emerges with the oil is separated and re-injected into the formation. CO2-EOR projects resemble a closed-loop system where the CO2 is injected, produces oil, is stored in the formation, or is recycled back into the injection well.
Is CO2-EOR safe? CO2 is non-flammable and nonexplosive. It is not defined as a hazardous substance, but a Class L, highly volatile, nonflammable/nontoxic material (CFRg, CFRe, Appendix B, Table 4). (WRI, 2008)
Operating for 40 years, CO2 pipelines have an excellent safety record with no serious injuries or fatalities ever reported. Today there are over 3,900 miles of pipeline transporting CO2 for EOR use at wells producing 281,000 (MIT 2011) barrels of oil per day. The industry has operated for decades under existing policy and regulatory oversight at the local, state and federal level.
Geologic storage of CO2 is also regulated under existing policies and regulations. CO2 is contained by a series of physical and chemical trapping mechanisms over time. Most formations that hold oil for thousands of years also have the ability to contain CO2. As an example, research by the University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology's Gulf Coast Carbon Center on the SACROC oil field, where CO2 has been injected for EOR since 1972, has found no evidence of CO2 leakage (TBEG). Experience from this decades-old CO2-EOR project and current commercial-scale CO2-EOR projects today shows that CO2-EOR can be performed in a manner that is safe for both human health and the environment.

Enhanced Oil Recovery Economic & Job Benefits
Does Increasing CO2-EOR Create Jobs? Yes. Workers will be needed across the full CO2-EOR value chain: from building and operating CO2 capture systems at power plants and other industrial facilities, to constructing new pipeline networks to transport CO2, to retrofitting and giving new life to existing oil fields.
For example:
- The Kemper County Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle project in Mississippi, a new plant currently under construction, will create around 300 permanent jobs from power plant and supply chain operations. Employment during construction is expected to peak at 1,150 and average 500 jobs over a 3.5 year construction period. (DOE, 2010)
- FutureGen 2.0 proposes to retrofit an existing coal-fueled power plant in Meredosia, Illinois with advanced oxy-combustion technology. The project expects to create approximately 1,000 construction jobs in Illinois from upgrading the power plant, building the CO2 pipeline and storage facility, as well as visitor, research, and training facilities. (FutureGen)
- The 2010 Midwest CO2 Pipeline Feasibility Study included an analysis of job creation prepared by Northern Illinois University (NIU) on a proposed Midwest pipeline – which would transport manmade CO2 captured from coal gasification plants in Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky to the Gulf Coast. NIU stated the pipeline construction would create over 3,500 local jobs over a four year construction period and over 2,000 jobs from indirect economic activity. (Lewis and Bergeron, 2009)
- The Wyoming Grieve Field project (Fladager, 2011), a small-scale CO2-EOR project that has been approved for construction, will generate more than 50 construction jobs to revitalize and return an aging oil field to service. It will also add five to ten operations jobs and produce 12 to 24 million barrels of additional oil that will inject millions of dollars into Wyoming's economy through taxes, royalties, and local purchasing.
Does Increasing CO2-EOR Stimulate the Economy? Yes. CO2-EOR will create and preserve high-quality jobs and enable states and local governments to realize additional revenue, inject millions of dollars into local businesses, and reduce oil imports and trade imbalances.
Recent estimates by the U.S. Carbon Sequestration Council (Carter, 2011) show that expanded CO2-EOR could provide up to $12 trillion, equal to about 80 percent of the U.S. national debt, in economic benefits to the U.S. over the next three decades, based on the "multiplier effects" of oil production on economic activities. The multiplier effect is the tendency for newly generated wealth to transfer hands and be spent several times.
A report by the University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology's (TBEG) Gulf Coast Carbon Center (TBEG, 2004) quantifies the total economic activity of oil production for Texas to be 2.9 times the value of the oil produced. In other words, almost two dollars of additional economic activity is created for every dollar of oil produced. Moreover, TBEG estimates 19 jobs for every $1 million of oil produced annually.
Advanced Resources International (ARI, 2010) estimates that an increase in oil production from CO2-EOR could reduce net crude oil imports by half and provide up to $210 billion in increased state and federal revenues by 2030. ARI also estimates that a robust EOR policy could reduce the U.S. foreign trade deficit by $11 to $15 billion dollars (2007 dollars) in 2020 and $120 to $150 billion by 2030. Cumulatively, this reduction in oil imports would keep $600 billion here at home, generating additional economic activity, jobs and revenues, rather than flowing out of the U.S. economy to other countries.

Enhanced Oil Recovery Environmental Benefits
How does EOR reduce CO2 emissions? Using CO2 captured from power plants and industrial sources to enhance oil production has the potential to help the U.S. reduce its emissions by improving the CO2 intensity of the industrial and power generation sectors. Over the life of a project, for every 2.5 barrels of oil produced, it is estimated that EOR can safely prevent one metric ton of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.3
A current estimate of CO2 use for EOR is 72 million metric tons per year; 55 million metric ton of CO2 come from natural sources and 17 million metric tons come from anthropogenic sources. But the potential for EOR to contribute to CO2 reduction goals is great, as supplies of natural CO2 are constrained. The volume that could be captured and sequestered from industrial facilities and power plants to support "next generation" EOR could be 20- 45 billion metric tons of CO2. This is equal to the total U.S. CO2 production from fossil fuel electricity generation for 10 to 20 years. (ARI, 2011)
Will CO2-EOR harm groundwater resources? EOR is governed by federal regulations that require the protection of underground sources of drinking water, under the EPA's Underground Injection Control (UIC) program. Many states have obtained authority from EPA to administer the UIC program and have laws that meet or exceed EPA's requirements. Permits issued by the EPA or states require that EOR operators manage their site in a manner that will prevent CO2 (and other formation fluids) from migrating out of the subsurface confining formation and into drinking water aquifers. ( 40 CFR §144.12)
The University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology's (TBEG) Gulf Coast Carbon Center has studied the longest running EOR site in the world at the Scurry Area Canyon Reef Operators in Scurry County, Texas (SACROC). SACROC has been operating since 1972 and has injected over 175 million tons of CO2. TBEG has found no evidence that CO2 has escaped the EOR site and contaminated groundwater resources. (TBEG)
Furthermore, the International Energy Agency's Greenhouse Gas Programme (GHGP) Weyburn-Midale CO2Monitoring and Storage project is the site of the world's largest CO2 monitoring project. Since 2000 more than 30 internationally recognized research organizations have conducted scientific assessments of the integrity of the geological storage system, monitored CO2 in the deep subsurface, and tested for any evidence of anthropogenic CO2 at the surface.None of the studies have detected anthropogenic CO2 in the soils or groundwater. (Cenovus, 2011)
What is the land use impact? CO2-EOR largely takes place at existing oil fields and CO2 is transported through underground pipelines thus reducing land use impacts.

Enhanced Oil Recovery Overview
How does CO2-EOR work?
CO2-EOR works most commonly by injecting CO2 into already developed oil fields where it mixes with and "releases" additional oil from the formation, thereby freeing it to move to production wells. CO2 is separated from the produced oil in above-ground equipment and re-injected in a closed-loop system many times over the life of an EOR operation.
A commercial technology established in North America in 1972, CO2-EOR could more than double economically recoverable U.S. oil reserves.
Increasing EOR production by using captured CO2 is a compelling and largely unheralded example of American private sector innovation that supports several urgent national priorities:
- Increase U.S. oil production from already developed fields with reduced risk and impact compared to conventional oil production;
- Strengthen America's national security by reducing our dependence on unstable and/or hostile regimes for our oil supply;
- Create new, high-paying American jobs, and retain and attract private sector investment in our economy;
- Reduce trade deficits by keeping petroleum expenditures at home and at work in the U.S. economy;
- Achieve significant net carbon reductions by expanding opportunities for oil, natural gas, coal, ethanol and other industries to invest in commercially proven technologies to lower the CO2-intensity of their products.
Challenge: the U.S. needs to capture more CO2 to increase domestic oil production. CO2-EOR projects use CO2 to access and mobilize oil that otherwise would not be produced using conventional technologies. One study states that with an increase in CO2 supply and by applying existing best practices, CO2-EOR has the potential to add as much as 61 billion barrels of oil to U.S. domestic oil production.
CO2 capture projects and pipeline infrastructure are needed to meet this demand. Significant amounts of CO2 captured and transported from power plants and industrial sources are urgently needed to boost U.S. oil production through CO2-EOR.
Support for CO2-EOR is critical to achievement of energy security, economic, and environmental benefits. The development of CO2 capture projects, build-out of CO2 pipeline infrastructure and improvements to existing oil field infrastructure is required to provide the level of CO2 needed to expand the US CO2-EOR industry.
This requires private investment, and federal and state policies and incentives to support additional deployment of CO2 capture projects and infrastructure. These projects will provide jobs and economic benefits for local and state governments. At a time when federal and state officials are struggling to reduce deficits, tax revenues generated from new projects can offset the additional cost of state and federal incentives and even increase government revenue over time.
The National EOR Initiative is committed to building a pathway to a secure and low-carbon energy future through expansion of CO2-EOR. At its launch, the Initiative received bipartisan support from several members of Congress who are monitoring the Initiative's progress and will receive final recommendations for legislative consideration.

The Role of Constraints in Low-Carbon Innovation
Climate change is the global innovation challenge of our time. That was the theme of a Green Innovators in Business Network "Solutions Lab" in Cambridge, MA, last month co-hosted by C2ES, EDF, Innocentive, and others. Dr. Andrew Hargadon, a leading expert in technology management and author of "The Business of Innovating," articulated for participants the enormous scale of innovation needed to achieve a clean energy economy. "Low-carbon innovation" is about dealing with new problems—carbon emissions, skyrocketing energy costs—that emerge from traditional solutions for making our economy work, such as for transporting goods or lighting our buildings. Transforming energy-consuming activities to emit less carbon requires that we deploy new technologies that will work with conventional behaviors, and develop entirely new behaviors.

Low-Carbon Innovation for a Strong Defense
As discussed in the first part of this blog series A Strong Defense for Low-Carbon Innovation, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has both the demand for and procurement capabilities to advance the development and deployment of innovative low-carbon technologies. This post highlights a variety of leading businesses innovating and creating new opportunities in response to the U.S. Department of Defense efforts, and some of the challenges businesses encounter along the way.
Strategic public-private partnerships are key to helping the DOD meet its energy goals and present significant low-carbon business opportunities. Employing the expertise of companies, such as those specializing in electricity generation or computer technology, gives the DOD access to specialty skills and knowledge needed to advance innovative low-carbon technologies. Businesses, in turn, have the potential to enhance their competencies through government-funded research and development, or provide new technologies for commercial markets after large-scale demonstration through the DOD.

Navy's 'Most Lethal Sniper' Is Gunned Down in US
A former U.S. Navy SEAL sniper and best-selling author has been shot to death in Texas, allegedly by a mentally ill former Marine.
Chris Kyle wrote
American Sniper,
which chronicles his experiences as one of the U.S. Navy's deadliest shots. Kyle, a Navy SEAL from 1999-2009, said he killed more than 150 Iraqi insurgents and other enemies, and called himself the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.
Former U.S. Marine Eddie Ray Routh is accused of fatally shooting Kyle and another man Saturday at a shooting range near Forth Worth, Texas.
Those who knew the victims and the suspect say Routh suffers from post traumatic stress syndrome, a mental illness that afflicts many former servicemen exposed to extremely violent conditions in combat.
They say Kyle frequently volunteered to help veterans and that he brought Routh to the shooting range as a form of therapy.
Police declined to discuss any theories about Routh's motive for gunning down Kyle and the second victim.

New York Knicks' guard J.R. Smith just hasn't been the same guy this season.
Last year, he put up 18.1 points per game on 42.2% shooting from the field and was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year.
This season? He's averaging 11.7 points per game on a career-low 32.8% shooting from the field.
"My jumper just hasn't been there," Smith told Peter Botte of the New York Daily News. "That's situations where I got to make my teammates better, get guys open shots and keep driving to the hole. But one thing, I'm not going to stop shooting."
Smith admitted that his surgically repaired left knee is still bothering him.
"Somewhat, but it's all right, I'm still playing…It's taking time. I'm not one to make excuses, but I got to play better. If it's hurting that bad, then I shouldn't be playing. I'm out there and I'm going to try to give it all I got."
Smith's Knicks, who have gotten off to a disaster of a start at 3-12, will be back in action Sunday night when they host the New Orleans Pelicans at 7:30 pm EST.

RELEASE: Joni Ernst's Role in Sexual Harassment Suit Raises Questions About Her Leadership, Priorities
RELEASE: Joni Ernst's Role in Sexual Harassment Suit Raises Questions About Her Leadership, Priorities
For Immediate Release: October 16th, 2014
Contact: Matt Sinovic, (515) 423-0530
Des Moines, Iowa — A lawsuit filed today by a former Iowa Republican Senate caucus employee alleges she was fired last year after she repeatedly complained of sexual harassment by her male colleagues against female Senate staff members.
The suit includes an allegation that Republican state Sens. Joni Ernst of Red Oak and Sandra Greiner of Keota witnessed sexual innuendo and inappropriate behavior exhibited by their male colleagues, but said nothing while female staffers stood by unable object.
Bonnie Campbell, former Iowa Attorney General, issued the following statement questioning Ernst's judgment and criticizing her failure to act:
"Joni Ernst and her campaign should stop trying to impugn the motives of the victim and come forward with the details of what she saw, and why she didn't stop it if she saw something. The facts are clear — either Joni Ernst is accusing the victim of lying, or Joni Ernst is refusing to tell us the truth about the facts of this case. If true, this is an outrageous and troubling fact we have just learned about Ernst."
"The more we know about Joni Ernst, the more it raises serious questions about who she is, and who she will stand up for in the U.S. Senate. This puts into question her judgment, her background, and who she would actually fight for in the Senate — because if it is anything like we have learned today, it won't be the everyday Iowans who sometimes need a voice to speak up for them."

Iowa Needs Hatch And Vernon
It is easy to write a screed against Terry Branstad. He has been around a long time. As governor he has hardly been stellar and his current term has seen him move from right wing to tea party extremist. During this term he has done many things that most Iowans would be shocked by. Branstad has gone against true Iowa values by doing things like using his line item veto to cut off food for the poor. His administration tried its hardest to deny health care for the poor under the ACA. Thus he was in the forefront of the Republican obstruction of the expansion of health care. And what can we say about the scandals that rock this administration with revelations every week? Remember one thing – it is your money that is being wasted with his shenanigans.
But why should we elect Jack Hatch? How will he be better? Well to start with we will be treated to a more open and transparent government under Jack Hatch. Government secrecy can't get much worse than it currently is. Hatch believes and practices open government. The founders of this country expected the affairs of state to be conducted in the open. That alone would be a refreshing change for Iowa.
This is a great start, but on what specific issues would we be better off with Jack Hatch? Let's start with Iowa's once heralded education system. Under Branstad our standards have fallen and the best teachers are being moved out of the classroom. Hatch has plans to reinvigorate our education system. This at a time when we are facing some of the biggest challenges ever. Hatch and Vernon are also looking for solutions to the massive debt that is now incurred by Iowa's college students. In their own words:
"My goal is to make Iowa's colleges affordable again. Let's cut college debt significantly with flexible, affordable options including an accelerated BA degree. Let's keep the doors open so students who want to work for a college degree can still afford it."
Jack Hatch has been a leader in the area of health care in Iowa. Rather than trying to screw Iowans out of health care, Hatch and Vernon will be looking for ways to include all Iowans in the health care system. Don't forget that when some of us can't access the health care system, that puts us all at risk:
"Perhaps the most important step we can take is the creation of a new, integrated, patient-centered health care delivery system that combines Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance into an integrated provider payment system within the current private market. This will include integrating mental health into our current primary health system; ensuring rural Iowa participates fully in access to health care (which is currently not happening), and that consumers have full access to their medical records while maintaining full and complete choice in how their health care is received and managed."
Possibly the biggest failure of the Branstad is jobs. Branstad brags about jobs he has created, but a quick look at any independent chart shows that Iowa has fallen short of not only the lofty goals Branstad promised, but the country as a whole and what Iowa needs to keep up with growth. Once more Hatch and Vernon will address jobs not with the ideological bent of Branstad, but with some practical real world ideas.
"My goal is reversing our state's slide towards an economy with more low wage jobs and fewer middle class jobs. We can start by increasing the minimum wage. Let's develop our economy from the community level up in our city neighborhoods and our small towns instead of the top-down, whether its for business, culture, tourism or infrastructure.
My goal is growing more thriving small businesses in Iowa and many fewer, much smaller tax handouts to corporate giants outside of Iowa. My goal is to invest in our Iowa entrepreneurs and grow the next generation of high-tech businesses right here."
These are just a few of the areas where we will see dramatic positive change from the Branstad administration. Please go to to the Hatch – Vernon website to learn much more.
There is one other very major difference between the two candidates. That is in their choice of running mates. Monica Vernon could step in and do a bang up job as governor today. She has experience at a lower level and in business leading. Vernon is competent and savvy. Choosing Monica Vernon as a running mate immediately showed that Jack Hatch has concern about making sure that leadership doesn't fail in his absence.
We can't say that about Terry Branstad's choice of Kim Reynolds. She was a political choice from the get-go. Her purpose was to assuage the tea party element that has grown so strong in Iowa's Republican Party. Her experience is meager and her on-the-job training has been scant. With Branstad's apparently failing health and rumors that he plans to resign and turn the state over to Reynolds in his next term should scare most Iowans. Iowans do not need to be part of a right wing experiment on ideological government. One need only look at Kansas to see how well that works.
This Should Be The Biggest Story of The Year
Last weekend in an interview with Sam Stein of the Huffington Post, Dr. Francis Collins, head of the National Institute of Health, said that a vaccine for ebola would have probably already have been found had it not been for budget cuts.
"NIH has been working on Ebola vaccines since 2001. It's not like we suddenly woke up and thought, 'Oh my gosh, we should have something ready here,'" Collins told The Huffington Post on Friday. "Frankly, if we had not gone through our 10-year slide in research support, we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that would've gone through clinical trials and would have been ready."
This is a national disgrace. It is more than a disgrace, cutting funds to the NIH when we are facing challenges unlike ever before is tantamount to a crime. Anybody want to guess who was behind those cuts?
While Republicans slash budgets for any social program, they always have money for war. Their budget cutting starve children of the poor, condemns college students to a life of debt for merely getting an education, turns proud men and women into beggars, puts all into jeopardy with failing infrastructure and sets the stage for the United States future failure as our education system deteriorates. All this while trying to keep this country in perpetual war that wastes our resources for no return.
As Laura Twing noted in her post here on Wednesday budgets are moral statements. Cutting the budget of the agency that looks forward to stop major diseases is a moral statement. That statement is that we do not care about our citizens.
Cutting the budget of the NIH and its companion CDC is but one of many cuts that threaten our populace. But this is the one that is making headlines because the threat is immediate and could be scary. The cuts to education, the cuts to the poor, the cuts to the infrastructure, the cuts to the elderly, the cuts to veterans, the cuts to environmental programs, the cuts to renewable energy and others are not immediate threats. They will slowly turn this country backward but not so fast that it is immediately noticeable. With their allies in the main stream media future problems can be ignored. The threat of ebola can't be ignored.
But those who run the Republican party – the Kochs, the DeVoses and all those others whose mission in life is to pile up money while making life miserable for the rest of us – have convinced at least nearly half the country that voting to screw other citizens because of their skin color or religion or sex or economic status or sexual orientation is a good thing. Screwing over the "others" in this country is the mission of the Republican Party.
Please think before you vote. This is a most important election, maybe one of the most important ever. Is your moral compass set for making the country cater to a few wealthy? Then vote Republican. But you had better understand that there is no trickle down. If you believe that you will be rewarded, you won't. You will merely get screwed along with the rest of us.
But if you believe that the clause in the Constitution that states one of the purposes of the government is to "promote the general Welfare" then it is imperative that you vote for Democrats who will work to attain a general welfare for all, not just the rich.
When Joni Ernst campaigns on how she will "cut the pork" – in that cute little video about castrating pigs – there are consequences. When any Republican says they will cut the budget – be it Miller-Meeks, David Young, Rod Blum or the King himself, remember there are consequences. Also remember that each of these will always be willing to send us into war without raising taxes.
20 reasons Not To Re-elect Branstad
A big thanks to Don Paulson of Muscatine for letting me use and combine his two LTTEs to his local paper into one complete list of Branstad "accomplishments."
We need to elect Jack Hatch as Iowa's governor! There are a lot of blemishes on the record of our current governor. Here are twenty reasons not to re-elect Terry Branstad-
#20- Branstad's campaign pulled a dirty trick by creating a fake Jack Hatch website.
#19- Branstad actually hosted the Family Research Council's "hate fest" in Ames earlier this year.
#18- At a Texas fundraiser Branstad admitted support for "tort reform".
#17- In an insult to the principle of the separation of church and state, Branstad was an active participant and signed a state declaration for Bob Vander Plaats's "Day of Prayer and Fasting".
#16- The renovations at the Iowa Veterans Home are mired in controversy.
#15- Branstad's Administration gave up a $1 million solar grant.
#14- His corporate tax cut will leave cities and counties short of funds.
#13- The Orascom boondoggle.
#12- With our roads and bridges falling apart, Branstad has shown zero leadership on raising the gas tax.
#11- Branstad has cost the taxpayers over $500,000 in legal fees in trying to unfairly get rid of Christopher Godfrey.
#10- Branstad illegally closed the Iowa Juvenile Home in Toledo.
#9- Branstad illegally closed 36 unemployment offices at the height of the Great Recession.
#8- Iowa's water pollution and soil erosion are still a huge problem.
#7- Branstad's Administration took the Chief Administative Law Judge's position and made it susceptible to political pressure from the Governor's office.
#6- Branstad still has close ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council.
#5- Branstad has failed to cut the cost of state government. According to a study reported in the 8/31/14 Des Moines Register, state spending has gone up 17.5%.
#4- Another one of Branstad's big goals was to create 200,000 jobs. So far the net number of jobs created since 2011 is around 74,000.
#3- Another big Branstad goal was to increase Iowa family incomes by 25%. Here was another miserable failure. According to the same Register study incomes have gone up just 0.17%.
#2- Branstad packed the Iowa Board of Medicine with people that did away with Planned Parenthood's telemedicine arrangement.
#1- Instead of expanding Medicare, Branstad tried to push through a vastly inferior health insurance plan called the "Healthy Iowa Plan".
#0- A state auditor report has found there have been 42 settlement agreements by this Administration totaling $2.4 million dollars.
These reasons should give everyone pause about re-electing Terry Branstad. Another reason may be his health.
At the first debate, Branstad's shaking hands and erratic behavior was plainly evident. Does he have Parkinson's disease or something like that? The rumors persist that if re-elected Branstad will step down after a time and allow the incredibly average Kim Reynolds to become governor without having to go through an election.
Sunday Funday Homecoming Edition
Little can match the fun and pageantry of homecoming. From high schools to the big colleges homecoming is always a festive occasion. The color, the crisp weather and with any luck a good game and a victory just makes for an almost magical weekend. It only comes once a year.
All that to say I am back after a short absence and am ready to drop some questions on you!. Sorry to say I need to take another hiatus in
a couple of weeks but only for a short stint.
Were you paying attention?
1) Monday Americans take a holiday for Columbus day. Our friends in Canada also have a holiday Monday. Do you know what they celebrate Monday in Canada?
2) The Supreme Court is back in session every first Monday of October. This year it shocked everyone by not doing what?
3) The symphony orchestra of what city was interrupted by a "Requiem for Michael Brown" by an audience flash mob.
4) The city council in Clear Lake, Iowa rejected a request by a citizen to turn what old municipal property into a home?
5) Western Europe got a touch of Ebola in what country last week?
6) It is Nobel Prize time. American and Japanese scientists shared the prize for perfecting what environmentally friendly technology?
7) Another Nobel Prize, this one for Peace, was won by a Pakistani teenager. No more hints – can you name her?
8) 72 Iowa judges are up for retention vote this election. What year did Iowans remove 3 Supreme Court justices for their votes on marriage equality?
9) 522 years ago Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas. Where did he believe he had landed?
10) In yet another surprise in their opening week the Supreme Court issued a decision stopping what in Wisconsin?
11) In order to fatten their owners pocketbooks, Walmart cut what benefit from their part-time workers?
12) Democrats charged this week that contracts awarded in Montgomery County were a conflict of interest when who was a county official there?
13) What well known financial guru was unable to finance a mortgage last week due to stringent rules put in after the financial collapse?
14) What leader of the world's most secretive country missed a major event Friday increasing speculation that he may have been deposed?
15) The Iowa Insurance Commission approved an increase of what percent for those Iowans with Wellmark policies?
I see that our illustrious governor, who did all he could to stop the ACA and the expansion of Medicaid in Iowa is all over the health thing these days. "Take a walk" he says. No doubt a much better idea than being able to see a doctor. Oh, please, we so need universal single payer health care. Iowa had a walking Wednesday for its 'healthiest state initiative.' Time to tell Branstad to take a walk. But I digress
1) it is Thanksgiving Day in Canada Monday
2) not hearing any cases pertaining to gay marriage, thus letting gay marriage go forward where it has been declared legal.
3) St. Louis
4) The old water tower
5) Spain
6) LED bulbs. Note the term is 'perfecting' not discovering. They invented the blue LED to add to the red and green to combine to make white light.
7) Mulala Yousafzai
8) 2010
9) The Indies. Most scholars take this to mean the Spice Islands or what we call Indonesia and Indochina.
10) the need for photo ID to vote.
11) health insurance
12) Joni Ernst. The contracts were won by her father.
13) Ben Bernanke.
14) Kim Jong Un
15) 14.5%
A Righteous Rant
The other day I was reading Dailykos when my eyes caught what looked to be an interesting story on the side list. So I clicked on it and found a very interesting rant by Charles Pierce on reasons why the Democrats need to come out loud and strong for what voting for Republicans actually leads to. The poster also faults Democrats for not attacking Republicans for their policies. Rather Democrats seem to take a "don't rock the boat" stance.
We are old enough that we remember the proud liberals of old – Hubert Humphrey, Birch Bayh, Lyndon Johnson to name just a few, who campaigned, fought for and secured legislation for Medicare, legislation that ended Jim Crow laws and opened up voting for all Americans among other accomplishments. At the state levels we had liberals like Harold Hughes who fought for community colleges and loosening liquor laws.
At the very end of this article, the poster gives concrete examples of how Americans vote against themselves when they vote Republican:
Why Democrats don't make these points is crazy. There is no good reason to vote for a Republican these days. If you live under a Republican government…
1) You're more likely to have a shorter and unhealthier life. It's not just about fighting Obamacare – it's about having dirtier air, dirtier water as polluters run wild because of deregulation. It's about going to work and risking your life because nobody is making sure your employer is running a safe operation.
2) Your employment chances are worse – because odds are those 'job-creating' tax breaks mean your state has lousy schools, crumbling roads, failing infrastructure, and employers who pay as little as possible while shipping money out of the local economy back to corporate HQ. Who wants to locate a business in a third-world style economy – aside from looters that is?
3) Tax breaks aimed at the rich and corporations mean everyone else has to pick up their share of the tab; higher license and permit fees, higher sales taxes – and everything takes longer if it involves government agencies with the workforce cut to the bone.
4) You get government of, by, and for the dollar: legislators and judges who put private gain over public interest, who measure virtue by how much money you have. When trouble strikes, you're on your own.
I could go on and on – so why don't Democrats campaign on the plain truth? If you live in a Red State, you're in a race to the bottom.
Iowa has candidates who want to deliver the state into corporate hands, including our current governor.
Americans need to be re-educated that the Reagan line that "Government is the problem" is, like so much Republican rhetoric, a lie. For many problems that affect the population as a whole Government is the solution. Government is the way we, as a country, come together to solve our common problems whether they be at a local, state or national level. There is a great example going on right now with Ebola making its appearance in America.
Without true universal health care America is definitely at major risk for an epidemic. Those without access to medical care will not go immediately to a medical facility when sick. They can't pay the bill. Government is the mechanism which can solve such a problem. Those who vote for Republicans leave this country at risk.
Vote Republican and you vote against yourself, your family including your parents (who may lose social security and medicare), your children (school, opportunity going out of the country), your grandchildren and their progeny. Voting Republican today has long range consequences.
Think about this before you vote.
Stop Voter Suppression in Iowa
The ACLU put out a video starring Lewis Black talking about voter suppression in the US. Remember, if Republican ideas were so popular they would be doing everything they could to increase voter turn out. The fact that they feel they must suppress votes tells you that their ideas are quite unpopular.
Iowa's current Secretary of State, Matt Schultz has been all about voter suppression. The best way to stop voter suppression in Iowa is to vote for Brad Anderson for Secretary of State.
Electing Paul Pate as Iowa Secretary of State replaces one member of the voter suppression party with another. We need Brad Anderson to guarantee that eligible Iowans will not lose their voting rights.
Ernst Is Another Investment For The Kochs
When I hear political ads or political pundits say things like Joni Ernst is a merely a front for the Kochs or that she is being bankrolled by the Kochs I know what is meant. But I just got to wondering if that whole concept has become so trite that most folks hear stories like that and they just ignore them. Heaven knows that the corporate media has done all they can to blunt the sting of such comments.
So let me take different approach to the situation of the filthy rich giving large sums of money to campaigns like Ernst's or to supporting so called educational groups like Karl Rove's Crossroads. People like the Kochs, Sheldon Adelson, the De Vos family in Michigan, Art Pope in North Carolina and many, many others do not so much contribute to a campaign so much as they invest in a candidate. Like any anyone who invests whether it be in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, equipment or personnel they expect some return.
Now when folks like you and I invest we hope for maybe a steady 10% return and we would be tickled pink. But when the Kochs and their rich ilk invest in a candidate they expect much larger returns much more quickly. And their returns do not come simply in say money back from the government in the form of contracts although that can often be a method. Their returns also come in the form of lower taxes for instance. Or perhaps they will be exempted from some regulation that could cost money, or perhaps a highway might be routed such that land they own is right near an exit.
Maybe the candidate they invest in will forestall a raise in minimum wages or a mandated health care coverage. If taxes aren't lowered maybe they can get a special loophole built just for them. Maybe a defense bill can be drawn in such a manner that the only vendor for a product the Pentagon needs is one of your firms – let's say in the Kochs case a contract is drawn such that only their brand of toilet paper can be bought by the Pentagon. Once more let us mention regulations either being rolled back or simply not enforced at the request of a senator.
Now you can bet that there is no place on record that such an agreement is written down. That would be illegal, don't you know? But with the money and the support from the outside groups comes an unwritten set of expectations. If those expectations are not fulfilled, a non-compliant senator could be looking at the prospect of a tea party challenge from a more compliant candidate being run by the incumbent's former funders. So technically there is not exactly a quid pro quo.
Thus the right wing candidate is simply an investment for folks like the Kochs and their various super-PACS and committees and other front groups. They can expect returns of billions on the millions they invest. All their investments were legalized by two of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever, Citizen's United and McCutcheon. Their millions make our few dollars totally insignificant. No doubt if Joni Ernst gets elected you can bet she will be working for the people that put her there – The Kochs and their compadres.
And all those folks that voted for her expecting – what? – will have been fooled into voting for a candidate whose true agenda is more government goodies for the rich and possibly, just possibly a wee bit of trickle down for them. Remember, government by the likes of Joni Ernst has resulted in exponential growth in income for the Kochs and a net loss for you and me since Ronald Reagan.
Ernst – A commodity just like gold or corn. It is what the wealthy are investing in this year.

Police: Woman drove drunk with kids in carJune 21,2014Police: Woman DUI
with kids in car
MANCHESTER A North Rupert woman was cited for four counts of child endangerment after she was stopped and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol while her four children, all younger than 15, were in the vehicle, according to police.
Carol Rock, 32, of North Rupert, was also cited for drunk driving and driving with a criminally suspended license, according to a press release from Trooper Justin Walker of the Vermont State Police.
Walker said Rock was stopped on Depot Street in Manchester on Thursday around 9 p.m. for a defective headlight.
According to Walker, Rocks drivers license was suspended after she was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol in 2012.
Walker said Rock failed the field sobriety exercises he administered after the stop.
One of the children was sitting without a seatbelt or any safety restraint in the cargo area of the sports utility vehicle Rock was driving.

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET first reported on April 18, OPETH mainman Mikael Åkerfeldt has now officially confirmed to MTV.com that the band have finalized a deal with New York's Roadrunner Records, bolstering an imposing roster that already includes KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SLIPKNOT, OBITUARY and CRADLE OF FILTH.Åkerfeldt disclosed several details about the band's forthcoming, self-produced opus. The follow-up to 2003's acoustic masterpiece, "Damnation", and OPETH's first disc in years without producer Steve Wilson, the album will include "Ghost of Tradition", "The Baying of the Hounds" and "Isolation Years". "Musically, 'Damnation' was an experiment for us," Åkerfeldt told MTV.com. "It also helped us to develop our sound. So this time around, you can say the overall record is going to be heavy-sounding. There's also a couple of songs that are more in the style of 'Damnation', so to speak. We also have a new member in the band, our keyboard player, Per Wiberg. So we have some vintage keyboards this time around on the heavy material as well. Overall, this one is heavy." Åkerfeldt said OPETH will finish the record before month's end and expect to release it as early as late August. He also said they'll play some new material this summer as part of the inaugural Sounds of the Underground tour. "We've never done anything like [a festival tour] before, but this is a new thing, so we're excited," he said. "It's a good chance to reach out to people who've never heard from us. I'm also looking forward to seeing STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and CLUTCH perform. Many of the bands on the tour I've never heard of."

Nashville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Shea Weber shook off a back injury to score a pair of goals, including the game-winner 1:29 into overtime, as the Nashville Predators rallied for an improbable 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils at Bridgestone Arena.
After David Legwand forced extra time by tallying with just 10.8 seconds left in regulation, Weber -- a game-time decision coming into the contest -- converted on a 2-on-2 rush with Colin Wilson to give the Predators the two points.
Carter Hutton did his part as well by coming up with 24 saves, including a game-saving stop on a breakaway from Michael Ryder mere moments before Weber ended it.
"This was a real good win for the team," said Weber. "We found a way and battle hard. Tied it up and then we took our chance in overtime."
Patrik Elias and Jaromir Jagr each had a goal and an assist for New Jersey, which ended a 1-1-1 road trip on a down note. Cory Schneider finished with 30 saves in the loss.
"It's tough, two nights in a row, giving up a lead in the last minute," said Schneider in referencing Thursday's 3-2 overtime win at Dallas, during which the Stars tied the game with 51.5 seconds in regulation. "We should've had an extra point tonight again."
With Schneider leading the way with a near-flawless performance between the pipes, the Devils were on the verge of victory until a frantic attack with Hutton pulled resulted in Legwand's equalizer with little time to spare.
The Nashville forward was perfectly placed to the right side of the New Jersey net, and a long shot from teammate Roman Josi that was blocked in front came straight to Legwand, who promptly fired the puck into an open side to knot the score at 2-2.
Hutton kept it deadlocked by sticking out his right pad to stone Ryder in all alone with 1:20 elapsed in OT. Shortly after the subsequent faceoff, Wilson skated hard into the Devils' zone before dropping a pass to a trailing Weber, who ripped a wrister into the top right corner for the clincher.
Nashville owned a 1-0 lead at the end of a first period it mostly dominated, with Weber showing no ill effects from his recent injury by opening the scoring 6:45 in.
Schneider failed to clear a puck out of his own zone and it was stolen away by the Predators' Patric Hornqvist, who sent back a pass that Weber wound up and rocketed past the New Jersey netminder for his first goal of the night.
The Devils surged ahead in the second period behind two of their established veterans, with Elias and Jagr scoring nearly six minutes apart.
Elias' attempt while skating down the left wing bounced off Hutton's glove and over the line with seven minutes remaining in the session. He later got the puck to Jagr behind the Predators' net, and the 41-year-old sniper worked his way into the slot before spinning around and firing a shot between Hutton's pads 1:01 prior to the second intermission.
The Predators improved to 11-1-2 this season when Weber, who had never scored
in eight previous meetings with New Jersey, records a goal ... The Devils lost
for only the third time (7-1-2) in 10 lifetime visits to the Music City ...
Elias now has four goals in his last four games ... Jagr's marker was the
698th of his career ... The Devils assigned rookie defenseman Eric Gelinas to
Albany of the American Hockey League prior to the game.
There was quite a bit of hitting on the field at Milan Puskar Stadium last weekend, but almost as much action took place in the streets just outside in the hours following West Virginia's upset of visiting Baylor.

"Why don't school shootings happen every day, then? Probably because "insane killers" aren't bestowed with the logical thought processes attributed to them by the NRA chief. That's why they are, by definition, insane." Rachel, if your goal is record number of responses or increased credibility with the gun grabbing left, congratulations. The three mass murdering insane killers that come to mind whose names I refuse to remember are Fort Hood, Aurora and Sandy Hook and were all very intelligent. They knew armed resistance was unlikely. Even the Fort Hood terrorist on a suicide mission chose a "gun free zone" on base. The real and obvious reason shootings like this do not happen every day is that there just are not very many insane killers.

David McNulty, who was from the Belcoo area, died following the one-vehicle incident at the Lattone Road between the villages of Garrison and Belcoo.
Sean Burns, from Belcoo Gaelic Football Club, said Mr McNulty was a highly respected young man who was a keen football player and was training to be an electrician.
"He was a salt of the earth young fella, he just won an award for being apprentice of the year in the local college. He was a very quiet, unassuming young man," he said.
"I coached him at under 14 and 16 - he was very enthusiastic and highly mannered young man, very committed to his football. He was very popular among his classmates."
A PSNI spokesman said it was reported that a blue Seat Toledo was located off the road in the area shortly before 3am.
The Lattone Road between Garrison and Belcoo has since reopened.
Officers investigating the incident have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
They can be contacted at the Collision Investigation Unit by calling the non-emergency number 101.

Groove ip lite won't sign into google

Talkatone sms work but outgoing calls never go through & incoming calls connect but no sound
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! :confused:
I have become a big user of Google Voice and have several phone numbers via multiple email accounts. On my iPhone I have tried several apps and found Talkatone to be among the others but there were some close competitors. Now that I have an Android tablet I have tried Talkatone. It is nice but the UI doesn't seem as nice as the iOS version.
I'm using Groove IP on my LG Optimus.
I have three questions.
1) I haven't really had a chance to try audio processing. I am going to test it out but I am wondering if anyone can testify whether it works or not. Supposedly it is intended to enhance calling quality in cases where it is bad?
Google has announced that, on March 14 of this year, they are shutting off external access to XMPP for their Google Voice services. As a consequence, any program like Talkatone or GrooVe IP will stop working on that date.
Yep, groove IP, Asterisk w/ google voice, Obi devices and others that rely on the XMPP interface/protocol will no longer work.
Can't say I will miss it because I rarely used google voice maybe a few times at the beginning.
So i have groove ip set up on my phone .but i noticed using it is still wasting my minutes in my plan . So question is whats the right setup to get the free calling thing
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Hey guys,
I've got a question that relates to Groove IP. I'm on T-Mobile's $30 monthly prepaid plan, so I'm interested in finding ways to avoid using minutes.
I've set up my Groove IP account settings so that calls are forwarded to Gchat.
I have been using Talkatone for it, but recently, I was wondering about the the native option.
I do have the TMO S3, with the wifi option enabled in my rom. I have my Google Talk and Voice both set up correctly. But when I use the phone icon to make a call, my minutes decrease. I thought by using wifi, like I do with Talkatone, I wouldn't use my contract minutes.
