GovLoop members have been discussing the merits of failure for improving personal and government performance
"Morning, boss! I just wanted you to know that beginning today I am determined to fail more frequently. I find that I learn more and over time will become a more effective employee. Thanks for understanding, and please don't dock me on my annual review. In fact, I'd like to make 'ability to fail' a performance element, if that's OK with you."
If you've been reading GovLoop in the past couple of weeks, you'd get the sense that many members would applaud any employee bold enough to make that speech. In the final days of summer, no fewer than four conversations have erupted in the GovLoop community related to failure. The overarching theme was that failure should be incorporated into government performance and project management models.
Here are three key points from those conversations.
Government employees often recoil at change, claiming that the stakes are higher in government because the public perceives failure as a waste of hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Maybe that's true. But wouldn't it be an even greater waste if the government failed to take measured risks that lead to innovative advancements that better serve people?
I'm not suggesting that government should deliberately fail in its key functions — some failures are unacceptable. But there's definitely room for more employees who are eager to break out of bureaucratic thinking and boldly seek to advance novel approaches to old problems — approaches that initially miss the mark but ultimately lead to improved government performance.

Andy Krzmarzick is the community manager for GovLoop, a social network for people in and around government.

FIFA 10 is a very large step in the right direction for football games. The realism has got a lot better, some people might find it less fun, but I think the tackling on this game has improved ten-fold.
The likes of the be a pro and manager mode have been greatly improved.
Fifa is the only football game that expands based on the real world, not based on what people think and this they must be commended for.
Though there is still a lot of improvement required, as mentioned by others the clubs system has taken a step backwards for example. There have been far many more improvements.
Anyone who says Pro Evo is better than Fifa isn't a football fan, they're a gaming fan.
Grand Theft Auto 4 (Classics)

GTA IV is always going to be a classic purely for the hype that surrounded it pre-release and it is a very good game. But it isn't the greatest game you will every play or is it, in my opinion, a large enough step up from the previous GTAs.
The online play is fun and refreshing but it's the sort of game you can get bored of quite easily.
But now that the price has been dropped, definitely worth it.
Fallout 3: Game Of The Year Edition

Fallout 3 is still in my opinion the best single player only 360 game to be released. Yes the likes of Halo and Gears are very much great games, but this sets itself apart for it's story and gameplay as a single player game.
If you don't have Xbox Live, or even if you do, this is a must own game.
Lost: Complete Season 5 Box Set (5 Discs)
25 New from
Free delivery
I've seen every Lost episode when it was first scheduled to be shown in the UK and it is truly one of the greatest drama TV series I have ever seen. I have been on an emotional roller-coaster from day one. Though I don't believe watching them on DVD is the best way to do it, (mainly because the week wait between episodes just makes your brain explode!). If you've not seen, or need to catch up, it so far it is the only way to do it.
Though season 3 is still by far my favourite (especially for the ending.) and season 4 had some of the saddest moments ever.. Season 5 sits perfectly on the swinging pendulum for the Lost finaly.
It is true what they say we are in a golden age of television Drama (mainly American), with the likes of 24, Prison Break, Flash Forward, House and many many more but Lost truly leads the way to the greatest, most anticipated climax in television history. If I do not shed a tear on that final day then I will be truly disappointed.
Note: This is not the sort of series to watch parts of, watch it all or none at all, it'll change your life!
Halo 3 (Classics)
15 New from

Posted: 28/08/2008
I love the story based around the Halo games.. It's nothing particularly new but when it's mixed with the good game play and interaction it makes for a simply superb game.
The online functions a bit of a let down though It's good that you can play online with guests.
I prefer CoD4 as a shooter for the box but for a good story shooter you can't find much better than Halo or GoW.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Classic)

The graphics are superb. I had this on the PC but decided to get it on the Xbox to check it out. I much prefer it on the Xbox now due to it's ease of use.
It's a shame there's no online function but thats just Elder Scrolls for you.
One of the best single player games I own, and I own a lot :).
Gears Of War (Classics)
15 New from
Free delivery
One of the best single player games I've ever seen.. Absolutely addicted to it.. The one problem is that the multiplayer function isn't up to scratch (Though I didn't buy this for a while after it had came out and was used to CoD4).
But if you want a good single player game, this is probably the best.
Hope GoW2 has a better online system then it'll be perfect.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Game Of The Year Edition)
2 New from
Free delivery
One of the best buys I've ever bought.. Good community on it through Live.. Still not bored of it.. Single player is good too for when you fancy bashing some AI s.
You can truly say you have Xbox Live if you don't have CoD4.

They've literally just arrived. I'm using them to listen to music at the mo and the quality is amazing. They come well packaged and look alright too. The test will be how they fair over long periods of time, I have the tendency to be very dangerous with my headset on. But with the wires set up the way they are it looks hard to really break them at the wires.
All in all great buy for the money, only gave it a 4 star cause I've just got them if they stay at this quality for a few months definitely 5 star.
Need a headset for less than £20, this is the one.

Pictures of Ashley Greene's Extensions
Love It or Hate It: Ashley Greene Goes Back to Her Long Roots
I have to confess that I've always had a bit of a girl crush on Alice Cullen's bobbed and flippy hairstyle in Twilight. Ashley Greene, however, the actress who plays the stylish, friendly vampire in the series, has been sporting a longer, less feathered layered bob in real life, and she sure has the chic look down pat. However, now that Eclipse is pretty much wrapping up, the actress is back to her long roots, as she debuted new extensions at the U2 concert in Pasadena yesterday, courtesy of Parlour on 3rd's Essly Powell, who worked with Ashley for nine hours to achieve this new look. Obviously we've seen Ashley in extensions before at the 2009 VMAs, but now it looks like they're here to stay. What do you think of this look? Were you loving her layered bob, or is the longer length a welcome change?

"12th" Man Stats Revealed, the Numbers Don't Lie
Coincidence? Maybe. Freaky? Definitely! Check out these 12th Man stats!
Coincidence? Maybe. Freaky? Definitely! Check out these 12th Man stats!
October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner ascended more than 24 miles above Earth's surface to the edge of space in a stratospheric balloon. GoPro and Red Bull came together wiht Felix for this epic achievement. Fitted with seven HERO2 cameras, every moment was documented and incredible HD. From the airless freeze of outer space, to the record-breaking free fall and momentous return to ground—see it all through Felix's eyes.
While applying for an NFL team in 1974, the company that would become the franchise holders requested ideas for a name. More than 20,000 names were suggested, and "Seahawks" was chosen. The company hired a design firm to create the logo, and Northwest Native American art was studied as an inspiration.
According to the official Twitter account for The Simpsons, the longest running American television sitcom predicted the score of Super Bowl 48 nearly 8 years ago.
Mom's going to the Superbowl! You can see how important this is to her -- dream-come-true type of stuff. Might make you tear up a little, it did me. GO HAWKS!
Join me to watch the big game this Sunday at The Grizzly Bar! I'll be giving away prizes during every commercial break and The Grizzly Bar will serve food and have drink specials.
We're big fans of the Native-American-inspired logo of the Seattle Seahawks. It taps into the spirit of one of the great, ancient cultures in the Pacific Northwest. But what is a "sea hawk" anyway? Is there such a bird? We did some research and found out.
We all know where you'll be this weekend: the grocery store. It's time to stock up for the Super Bowl. What will you be buying? What are THE BEST Super Bowl foods?
I have the biggest crush on Richard Sherman because he's so cute to look at!
Seattle Seahawks running back MARSHAWN LYNCH loves Skittles. And so, in his honor, a butcher in Puyallup, Washington is putting them in HOT SAUSAGE.
I actually got chills watching this....again....mic'd up makes it a lot more exciting! Still seems like too many days left until the Superbowl!
Kahlei Stone-Kelly from Australia is the next big thing! He's only two years-old and he is already cruising down (and over) the curbs on his skateboard.

In Statement, Harry Reid Turns Senate's Attention to ENDA
June 27, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by David Mccabe, HRC Digital Media Intern
Yesterday Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid applauded the Supreme Court's landmark rulings on marriage equality yesterday while recognizing that there are still looming battles for the LGBT community and its allies.
"But the fight for equality is not over. Too many Americans still face discrimination at their workplaces today because of their sexual orientation. Every American deserves to be free from job discrimination," he said in a statement. "To make this the law of the land, I will soon bring the Employment Non-Discrimination Act [ENDA] to the floor of the Senate for a vote."
ENDA, which is widely supported by the American public, would protect the many Americans who live in the 29 states where there is no state law protecting them from being fired for their sexual orientation, or one of the 33 states for gender identity or expression
ENDA is also widely supported by the business community. A recent poll found that two-thirds of small businesses owners support the types of federal protections provided by ENDA, and almost 60% said they believed that the law would be helpful to the financial success of their business.
Since ENDA will be considered by the Senate's Health, Education, Labor, and Pension Committee in the next few weeks, it's more important than ever to tell your Senator that you support full workplace protections for all LGBT Americans.
To find out which major businesses already have policies supportive of the LGBT community, including non-discrimination policies that cover both gender identity and sexual orientation, visit HRC's Corporate Equality Index.

In a situation where you had domination by one country and its allies, or its satellites rather, the search for global solutions often turned into an attempt to impose their own universal recipes. This group's ambitions grew so big that they started presenting the policies they put together in their corridors of power as the view of the entire international community.
"The Cold War ended, but it did not end with the signing of a peace treaty with clear and transparent agreements on respecting existing rules or creating new rules and standards. This created the impression that the so-called 'victors' in the Cold War had decided to pressure events and reshape the world to suit their own needs and interests."
The very notion of 'national sovereignty' became a relative value for most countries. In essence, what was being proposed was the formula: the greater the loyalty towards the world's sole power centre, the greater this or that ruling regime's legitimacy.

GhostWridah - Mrs. Wridah [Freestyle]
Artist: GhostWridah
Producer: 9th Wonder
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 6 votes )
Though GhostWridah is typically too focused on his grind to spend time chasing skirts (or, if he does, he doesn't tell us about it in his Booth-featured cuts), he recently met a woman who has him thinking about monogamy. On freshly-released freestyle Mrs. Ghostwridah, the Miami-repping reader fave and freestyle series alum laces a vintage 9th Wonder beat with rhymes dedicated to his future wife. This joint isn't attached to any forthcoming project, but those digging it should watch for Ghost's next album, No Apologies, to hit our mixtape page for free streaming and download in January 2012.

The Cinemark Ada in Ada, Oklahoma opened to the public today. The 8-screen theater is located in the North Hills Centre near Lonnie Abbott Boulevard and Mississippi Avenue, just a few hundred feet from the Cinemark North Hills 6.
Cinemark announced the theater's opening in press release yesterday:
"Cinemark and Ada have had a special relationship over the years and we're proud to open this new theatre just in time for the holidays," states Tim Warner, Cinemark's Chief Executive Officer. "The new Ada 8 will offer an exceptional movie going experience which the Ada community can be proud to call their own."
Cinemark is taking the cinema entertainment experience to the next level. The new Cinemark Ada 8 Theatre will offer:
- 4K digital projection powered by Barco projectors; RealD 3D capability in four auditoriums.
- Enhanced, sound systems that will enable customers to hear the movie as the filmmakers intended.
- A traditional crew-serve concession stand - offering freshly-popped popcorn, Coca-Cola fountain beverages, favorite candy brands, nachos, and more
- Stadium Seating
While there is no mention of what is happening with the North Hills 6 theater, they do not have showtimes published any longer and their voice phone number is picked up by a fax machine. It would appear that the older theater has been closed, but if you have more details, please leave a comment below!

Candy Cane Cookies
Try this fun "twist" on cookies -- turn them into ornaments! Make easy candy canes to decorate with during the holidays.
-For a fun twist on Holiday Cookies, try this. I'm going to use this really cute candy canes to decorate my Christmas tree and I'll show you how easy they are to make. Now, this is a 16 ounce package of cookie dough. And to that, I'm gonna add a cup of flour just to make it a little more sturdy to work with because we're going to be hanging them on our tree. Now, I'm going to tint half of that dough red, so that we get that candy cane effect. Then what you do is you actually take your dough and roll it into about 1 inch-size balls, and then we're going to just- on our work surface, or between your fingers, whichever works better, roll them into ropes. Now, these ropes are going to be you know, 5 to 6 inches long. So, I'll just roll these out, and of course you wanna make sure that the red one is the same length as the white one for each candy cane. So then, what you do is just sit them next to each other and kinda twist them together a few times. And then to make them more sturdy so that the colors actually stick together and don't come apart when it's baking, you want to roll that whole thing together underneath your fingers just a couple of times so that it sticks together. Then transfer it so that it sticks together-

Archive for the 'Obama administration' Category
The GOP has at least completed its Benghazi investigation: Nothing there
As Kevin Drum notes, the GOP Congressional committee that investigated Benghazi for two years released its report late on a Friday afternoon—the traditional time for releasing bad news—because, apparently, in their view the report was bad news: no wrong-doing of any sort; no conspiracy; no hiding of terrible secrets. I wonder if Lara Logan will note this.
For two years, ever since Mitt Romney screwed up his response to the Benghazi attacks in order to score campaign points, Republicans have been on an endless search for a grand conspiracy theory that explains how it all happened. Intelligence was ignored because it would have been inconvenient to the White House to acknowledge it. Hillary Clinton's State Department bungled the response to the initial protests in Cairo. Both State and CIA bungled the military response to the attacks themselves. Even so, rescue was still possible, but it was derailed by a stand down order—possibly from President Obama himself. The talking points after the attack were deliberately twisted for political reasons. Dissenters who tried to tell us what really happened were harshly punished.
Is any of this true? The House Select Intelligence Committee—controlled by Republicans—has been investigating the Benghazi attacks in minute detail for two years. Today, with the midterm elections safely past, they issued their findings. Their exoneration of the White House was sweeping and nearly absolute. So sweeping that I want to quote directly from the report's summary, rather than paraphrasing it. Here it is:
- The Committee first concludes that the CIA ensured sufficient security for CIA facilities in Benghazi….Appropriate U.S. personnel made reasonable tactical decisions that night, and the Committee found no evidence that there was either a stand down order or a denial of available air support….
- Second, the Committee finds that there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks. In the months prior, the IC provided intelligence about previous attacks and the increased threat environment in Benghazi, but the IC did not have specific, tactical warning of the September 11 attacks.
- Third, the Committee finds that a mixed group of individuals, including those affiliated with Al Qa'ida, participated in the attacks….
- Fourth, the Committee concludes that after the attacks, the early intelligence assessments and the Administration's initial public narrative on the causes and motivations for the attacks were not fully accurate….There was no protest.The CIA only changed its initial assessment about a protest on September 24, 2012, when closed caption television footage became available on September 18, 2012 (two days after Ambassador Susan Rice spoke)….
- Fifth, . . .
And William Douglas of McClatchy has a report as well:
The Obama administration didn't issue 'stand down' orders to security forces at the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya or knowingly give erroneous details about the incident to the public, a quietly-released report by the House Intelligence Committee concluded Friday.
The two-year investigation by the bipartisan panel shoots down a series of conspiracy theories and cover-up claims. It's the fourth congressional committee to reach similar conclusions.
'The report has endeavored to make the facts and conclusions within this report widely and publicly available so that the American public can separate the actual facts from the swirl of rumors and unsupported allegations,' the report stated in its findings.
It debunks talk that the administration ordered CIA and security forces at the compound to 'stand down' during that attacks that led to the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others. . .
UPDATE: And ThinkProgress has a good report on the findings of the committee:
Two years ago, Republicans in the House of Representatives commissioned a House Intelligence Committee investigation into the 2012 attack on an American consulate in Benghazi. While failures of security were acknowledged by the administration, the investigation was one of many formed with the intent to prove some conspiracy theories about the incident, including a supposed high-ranking order for the CIA tostand down in the midst of the attack.
But the latest report, released Friday, does little to back up Republicans' suspicion of negligence, and it finds no intelligence failure on the part of the CIA.
The investigative report is authored on the right by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) and the left by Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD). Rogers previewed the report during a Fox News this September when he smacked down one of the leading right-wing theories, that the State Department issued a stand-down order before the attack. "It was the commander on the ground making the decision," Rogers explained at the time. "I think it took 23 minutes before they all, including that commander, by the way, got in a car and went over and rescued those individuals."
The report also disproves other conspiracy theories about that tragic night, including . . .
Excellent review of Citizenfour in the NY Review of Books
What Snowden has revealed is crucial to our understanding: he shows how the currents of the country are shaped and channeled by the underwater rocks, as it were, of the security apparatus, and reveals those forces to us. David Bromwich writes in the NY Review of Books:
a film directed by Laura Poitras
At some point in the chase that led the documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras from America to Berlin and finally to the hotel room in Hong Kong where she would meet the whistle-blower who identified himself as "Citizenfour," her unnamed informant sent this warning: "I will likely immediately be implicated. This must not deter you."
What did he offer in return for the risk he hoped she would take? The answer was compelling. He knew things that the American public ought to know. The director of the National Security Agency, General Keith Alexander, had "lied to Congress, which I can prove." Alexander denied under oath that the NSA had ever engaged in the mass surveillance of Americans that was then going forward under the codenames PRISMand XKeyscore. Citizenfour could also demonstrate that General James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, came no closer than General Alexander to telling the truth. When asked, under oath, by Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon whether the NSAcollects data on "millions or hundreds of millions of Americans," Clapper had answered: "Not wittingly."
Clapper's statement was false in every possible sense of the words "not" and "wittingly." [And yet Obama leaves him in office, while doing everything a president can to stifle the Senate's report on the US program of kidnapping and torture—either Obama is in the grip of the security apparatus, or he is a part of it. His constant appointment of Wall Street insiders to regulatory agencies is a clue: this is not the president we were promised. – LG] The agency was indeed collecting data, it was doing so in accordance with a plan, and the director had ordered no halt to the mass collection. The extraction of private information about Americans without our consent seems to have troubled Edward Snowden far back in his employment by the NSA. But there were other things that gave him pause: the astonishing license for ad hoc spying, for example, that was granted to those NSA data workers who had been awarded the relevant "authorities"—a bureaucratic synonym for permissions. "We could watch drone videos [of the private doings of families in Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistan] from desktops." This, Snowden has said, was one of those things "that really hardened me.
Citizenfour, a documentary about the rise of mass, suspicionless surveillance and about the dissidents who have worked to expose it, naturally centers on Snowden; and most of the film concentrates on eight days in Hong Kong, during which Poitras filmed while the Guardian reporters Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill introduced themselves, conducted searching interviews and conversations with Snowden, and came to know something of his character. The focus on a single person is consistent with the design of all three of the extraordinary films in the trilogy that Poitras has devoted to the war on terror.
The first, My Country, My Country (2006), covered a short stretch in the life of an Iraqi doctor, Riyadh al-Adhadh, during the American occupation of Baghdad. In the months before the election of January 2005, al-Adhadh was beset by a family in bad straits and by patients whose physical and emotional state had suffered terribly in the war. He resolved at that exigent moment to help his country by standing as a candidate for the assembly. When his Sunni party withdrew from participation, he was left disappointed and uncertain, his commitment invalidated by the very people he hoped to serve.
The Oath (2010) offered a portrait of Abu Jandal, a taxi driver in Yemen, initially famous only by association as the brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden's driver Salim Ahmed Hamdan. It was Hamdan who suffered five years of imprisonment in Guantánamo before being tried on charges of conspiracy and "material support" of al-Qaeda. A deeply religious man, he was cleared by a military tribunal of the charge of conspiracy and transferred to Yemen, where he secluded himself and maintained an ascetic silence. (On October 16, 2012, the D.C. Circuit Court threw out Hamdan's conviction on the remaining count, "material support" for terrorism, on the ground that it violated the constitutional ban on ex post facto prosecutions: the acts for which he was charged and convicted were not yet crimes when he performed them.)
As if between the lines of the film, it emerges that Abu Jandal himself—charismatic, masculine, a hero to the intellectual Muslim radicals who seek him out, yet touchingly gentle in the work of raising his five-year-old son—had been closer to bin Laden than the relative who was sent to Guantánamo. And even that is not the end: the protagonist is not what he seems at second glance any more than at first. He was once a committed jihadist, yet he was also full of doubts and capable of acting on his doubts. The film leaves him, as the earlier film had left the Iraqi doctor, uncertain and in suspense.
In the same way, we are left without a finished story at the end of Citizenfour. Snowden departs Hong Kong for Moscow, under the protection of human rights lawyers, hoping to fly from there to a Latin American country that will offer him refuge (probably Ecuador). But as we now know and the film reminds us, the US State Department revoked his passport and Snowden in Moscow is still in limbo. Though the film, in a kind of denouement, shows him reunited with his American girlfriend, visited by a political ally, Glenn Greenwald, and encouraged to hear that another whistle-blower has cropped up and disclosed the exorbitant scale of the American "watch list," it is hard to know where his story will end.
Citizenfour gives a setting for Snowden's action through its portrait of several other vivid personalities. . .
Later in the article:
Snowden is often called a "fanatic" or a "zealot," a "techie" or a "geek," by persons who want to cut him down to size. Usually these people have not listened to him beyond snippets lasting a few seconds on network news. But the chance to listen has been there for many months, in two short videos by Poitras on the website of The Guardian, and more recently in a full-length interview by the NBC anchorman Brian Williams. The temper and penetration of mind that one can discern in these interviews scarcely matches the description of fanatic or zealot, techie or geek.
An incidental strength of Citizenfour is that it will make such casual slanders harder to repeat. Nevertheless, they are likely to be repeated or anyway muttered in semiprivate by otherwise judicious persons who want to go on with their business head-down and not be bothered. It must be added that our past politics give no help in arriving at an apt description of Snowden and his action. The reason is that the world in which he worked is new. Perhaps one should think of him as a conscientious objector to the war on privacy—a respectful dissident who, having observed the repressive treatment endured by William Binney, Thomas Drake, and other recent whistle-blowers, does not recognize the constitutional right of the government to put him in prison indefinitely and bring him to trial for treason. His action constitutes a reproach to the many good citizens who have learned what is happening and done nothing about it. That, too, is surely a cause of the resentment that has a hard time finding the appropriate adjectives for Snowden.
"The right of privacy," wrote the great scholar of constitutional law Herbert Packer inThe Limits of the Criminal Sanction (1968),
as implied by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, cannot be forced to give way to the asserted exigencies of law enforcement. The use of electronic surveillance constitutes just the kind of indiscriminate general search that helped to bring on the American Revolution and that the framers of the Constitution were alert to guard against. In the name of necessity this grant of power would permit an unscrupulous policeman or prosecutor to pry into the private lives of people almost at will. Knowledge that this was so would certainly inhibit the free expression of thoughts and feelings that makes life in our society worth living.
Packer's understanding of the internalized character of free expression is close to Snowden's language about the freedom of the Internet before it was watched. But as the film illustrates in detail, Snowden does not in fact oppose police work or the arrest of people dangerous to the country. The trouble, he says, is that the NSA has overseen the almost immeasurable expansion of "a system whose reach is unlimited but whose safeguards are not." At the same time, Snowden goes further than many who call themselves libertarians. He believes that the American government has no more right to spy on private individuals in other countries than it does to spy on citizens of the United States.
Later still:
In watching her films, one is always aware of the impact of the large institution on the person, but the person stands at the center of the portrayal. And in her trilogy about the war on terror, that institution is the state, the state, and the state: American power, with its long reach, its credulous belief in its own good intentions, its quenchless thirst for control, its devotion to expertise and system, and its heavy consequent burden of incompetence.
Definitely read this review. Its concluding paragraph:
The strangest revelation of Citizenfour may therefore be this: Snowden, in his hotel room with his journalistic confidants Greenwald and Poitras and MacAskill, affords a picture of a free man. It shows in his posture, and in a sense of humor touched by self-irony. He is not haunted by any fretful concern with what comes next. He is sure he has done something he chose, and sure that someone had to do it. He acted in obedience to a principle; and it was right that the actor should disappear in the action. Citizenfour, by simply using the real-life actor as a way to consider the nature of freedom, honors the premise that moved Snowden to take his unique and drastic step. "The final value of action," wrote Emerson, "is, that it is a resource." It is up to other Americans now, the uncertain end of Citizenfour says, to rouse ourselves and find the value of Snowden's action as a resource.
The media in the US is moving toward the position Pravda had in the Soviet Union: A partisan mouthpiece
Note that I say "partisan" rather than "government." Some of the media do speak for the government (whoever's in power), but other media speak for a particular party (Fox News, for example). True journalism, driven by facts, is becoming uncommon, partly because the primary mission is no longer reporting the truth (comforting the afflicted, afflicting the comfortable), but turning a profit. Once the focus moves to money, less attention is paid to what was once the main purpose. The previous post is one good example of how frequently reporting just follows the government line, and Democracy Now! has another under the title "Antiwar Voices Absent from Corporate TV News Ahead of U.S. Attacks on Iraq & Syria." Their blurb:
A new analysis of corporate TV news has found there was almost no debate about whether the United States should go to war in Iraq and Syria. The group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting found that of the more than 200 guests who appeared on network shows to discuss the issue, just six voiced opposition to military action. The report, titled "Debating How — Not Whether — to Launch a New War," examines a two-week period in September when U.S. involvement in Iraq and Syria dominated the airwaves. The report also finds that on the high-profile Sunday talk shows, out of 89 guests, there was just one antiwar voice — Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation. We speak to Peter Hart, activism director at FAIR.

Most media still equate "killed by a drone strike" and "militant," even when victims are unknown
The government exercises considerable control over the media, even beyond the sort of direct intervention that kept the NY Times from publishing what they had learned about a massive and highly illegal warrantless wiretapping program inaugurated by the Bush Administration (and, of course, expanded by the Obama Administration). The Obama Administration stated point blank that anyone killed by a drone strike would be considered a "militant" unless and until proved otherwise. Since the strikes are often in remote and hostile areas, such proof is generally unavailable—but our lapdog media follows along, doing whatever is asked.
Glenn Greenwald reports on the practice in The Intercept:
It has been more than two years since The New York Times revealed that "Mr. Obama embraced a disputed method for counting civilian casualties" of his drone strikes which "in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants . . . . unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent." The paper noted that "this counting method may partly explain the official claims of extraordinarily low collateral deaths," and even quoted CIA officials as deeply "troubled" by this decision: "One called it 'guilt by association' that has led to 'deceptive' estimates of civilian casualties. 'It bothers me when they say there were seven guys, so they must all be militants. They count the corpses and they're not really sure who they are.'"
But what bothered even some intelligence officials with the agency carrying out the strikes seemed of no concern whatsoever to most major media outlets. As I documented days after the Times article, most large western media outlets continued to describe completely unknown victims of U.S. drone attacks as "militants" – even though they (a) had no idea who those victims were or what they had done and (b) were well-aware by that point that the term had been "re-defined" by the Obama administration intoAlice in Wonderland-level nonsense.
Like the U.S. drone program itself, this deceitful media practice continues unabated. "Drone strike kills at least four suspected militants in northwest Pakistan," a Reuters headline asserted last week. The headline chosen by ABC News, publishing an AP report, was even more definitive: "US Drone in Northwest Pakistan Kills 6 Militants." In July, The Wall Street Journal'sheadline claimed: "U.S. Drone Strike Kills Five Militants in Pakistan's North Waziristan." Sometimes they will turn over their headlines to "officials," asthis AP report from July did: "Officials: US drone kills 7 militants in Pakistan."
Since its 2012 report, the Times itself has tended to avoid the "militant" language in its headlines, but often lends credence to dubious official claims, as when it said this about a horrific U.S. drone strike last December on a Yemeni wedding party, killing the bride: "Most of the dead appeared to be people suspected of being militants linked to Al Qaeda, according to tribal leaders in the area, but there were also reports that several civilians had been killed." Other U.S. media accounts of that strike were just as bad, if not worse. The controversies over the definition of "militant" are almost never mentioned in any of these reports.
A new article in The New Yorker by Steve Coll underscores how deceptive this journalistic practice is. Among other things, he notes that
the U.S. government itself – let alone the media outlets calling them "militants" – often has no idea who the people are who are killed by drone strikes in Pakistan. That's because, in 2008, George Bush and his CIA chief, Gen. Michael Hayden, implemented "signature strikes," whereby "the new rules allowed drone operators to fire at armed military-aged males engaged in or associated with suspicious activity even if their identities were unknown." The Intercept previously reported that targeting decisions can even be made by nothing more than metadata analysis and SIM card use.
The journalist Daniel Klaidman has noted that within the CIA, they "sometimes call it crowd killing. . . . If you don't have positive ID on the people you're targeting with these drone strikes." The tactic of drone-killing first responders and rescuers who come to the scene of drone attacks or even mourners at funerals of drone victims – used by the Obama administration and designated "terror groups" alike – are classic examples. Nobody has any real idea who the dead are, but they are nonetheless routinely called "militants" by the American government and media. As international law professor Kevin Jon Heller documented in 2012, . . .
John Hodgman: 'The government should be laying down broadband like Eisenhower laid down interstates'
Exactly: the same sort of investment in infrastructure that benefits the common welfare. Eisenhower (a Republican) pushed the Interstate highway system—well supported by the automotive and trucking industries, to be sure—and I would say it has paid off: Interstate highways show the value of a socialized approach in certain areas.
The same clearly goes for (true) broadband networks, which our telecoms don't want to spend money on—though they will go to considerable lengths to stop municipalities from offering broadband services to their communities. I.e., the telecoms don't want to do it, but they don't want anyone else to do it, either.
Brian Fung writes in the Washington Post:
Long before John Oliver called for an end to "cable company f**kery," another comedian also named John was beating the net neutrality drum. As far back as 2006, author and actor John Hodgman was using postal envelopes to explain how Internet service providers might let content from Google and Amazon through to consumers very easily while discriminating against content from other companies.
Now Hodgman is back at it. In an essay on Tumblr posted Monday night, Hodgman takes aim at large telecom companies who can "control what is increasingly a mandatory purchase" for many Americans: access to high-speed broadband that connects them to information, entertainment and economic opportunity.
Hodgman has some personal stake in the issue as a performer. Arguing that the Internet helps promote artists and small businesses that drive the U.S. economy, Hodgman added that many of the country's dominant telecom providers would not be in their successful position today had they not benefited from public resources such as land and wireless airwaves.
The issue has clearly been on Hodgman's mind for some time. At the end of a lengthy response to a separate BuzzFeed article, Hodgman told his readers he'd be holding an impromptu Q&A session on Tumblr for an hour to discuss Obamacare, net neutrality as well as any other issue his followers thought important. Amid queries on his favorite vegetable (brussels sprouts) and whether to see the movie "Interstellar," (…yes?) Hodgman saved his longest response for last.
"I believe in capitalism but not monopolies," Hodgman wrote. "I believe in entrepreneurship and I am not against government efforts to foster it. I believe more communities should invest in their own broadband to break regional telecom monopolies. Personally I believe that the federal government should be laying down broadband like Eisenhower laid down interstates. And I believe preferential fast-laning for big companies will decrease competition and quality and ultimately hamper what is poised to be the most important area of economic, cultural, and technological innovation of our time."
This isn't far off from . . .
The DoJ and Congress are begging each other to reform marijuana laws. So why hasn't either budged?
Good question. Eric Holder, as Attorney General, could move marijuana out of the Schedule I category (more dangerous than cocaine!!) today, but he doesn't. Why not? Or, perhaps more important, why does Holder give a pass to the banks that break the law? He knows that JP Morgan committed fraud, but he lets them off the hook with a fine (a large portion of which will be paid by taxpayers and victims) and keeps secret the damning evidence that JP Morgan knew quite well that it was committing fraud and in fact had been informed of that by one of its own lawyers/analysts (who was quickly fired).
That actually provides a clue: Eric Holder really doesn't seem to care much about the law, but he's very concerned about getting a cushy job when he leaves the government, so he doesn't want to annoy the fat cats. But regular people? He doesn't care.
Christopher Ingraham asks the question of the title in the Washington Post:
The crowning inconsistency of the federal drug control system has always been the classification of marijuana as a Schedule 1 substance under federal law, which makes it among the Worst of the Worst drugs as far as the DEA is concerned — literally as bad as heroin, and worse than cocaine! Drug reform advocates have pushed the DEA to change its position for years, citing decades of research on the relative harmlessness of weed compared to other drugs — including alcohol — but the agency hasn't budged, even as public opinion has rapidly evolved.
The Controlled Substances Act, which set up the drug schedules in the early 1970s, explicitly places drug scheduling authority in the hands of the attorney general, and even instructs him or her to "remove any drug or other substance from the schedules if he finds that the drug or other substance does not meet the requirements for inclusion in any schedule."
Much to the chagrin and outright befuddlement of drug law reformers, however, outgoing attorney general Eric Holder has repeatedly stated that any changes to the scheduling status of marijuana should be made by Congress.
In an interview with the just-launched Marshall Project, a non-profit news outfit covering criminal justice issues, he said, "I think the question of how these drugs get scheduled and how they are ultimately treated is something for Congress to work on." This echoes remarks he made in a September interview with Katie Couric, when he said that federal marijuana decriminalization was something for Congress to decide.
As Firedoglake's Jon Walker noted yesterday, it's strange that Holder is trying to punt this issue to Congress while the Obama administration is testing the limits of executive authority elsewhere: "It is just mind boggling that while the Obama administration is looking at ways to stretch their legal authority to use executive actions to get around Congress on issues, like the environment and immigration, they would still refuse to move forward on the one issue where they are so explicitly given the power to act under current law," Walker writes.
The DEA had no problem acting unilaterally to move hydrocodone products up from Schedule III to Schedule II earlier this year. It alsoadded the previously-unscheduled synthetic opiate tramadol to the drug schedule. So Holder's conspicuous deference to Congress on marijuana is puzzling. . .
It's hard to develop much respect for Eric Holder.
Secret Tapes Hint at Turmoil in New York Fed Team Monitoring JPMorgan
The NY Fed seems to be as shot through with corruption as the SEC, and that's saying something. Jake Bernstein reports at ProPublica:
As the Federal Reserve Bank of New York moved to beef up its oversight of Wall Street two years ago, the team charged with supervising the nation's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, was in turmoil.
New York Fed examiners embedded at JPMorgan complained about being blocked from doing their jobs. In frustration, some requested transfers. Top New York Fed managers knew about the problems, according to interviews and secret recordings of internal meetings obtained by ProPublica. Similar frustrations had surfaced among examiners at other banks as well.
"You're not the only one experiencing difficulties at an institution," one New York Fed manager told Carmen Segarra, an examiner stationed at Goldman Sachs who made the surreptitious recordings. "You've heard about all the issues at JPMorgan."
[In the article at the link, you can hear one of the recordings at this point – LG]
Listen to more excerpts of the Carmen Segarra tapes »
In meetings in early 2012, the manager, Johnathan Kim, described how bosses in the JPMorgan team had stymied examiners by blocking access to bank information and constraining independent inquiries in ways that "grinds everything to a halt."
The revelations of internal strife add new details to the summary of an investigation by the Federal Reserve Board's inspector general into the New York Fed's supervision of JPMorgan before the "London Whale" trading scandal. The disastrous series of trades, which became public in April 2012, cost JPMorgan $7 billion in losses, settlements and fines and forced it to admit to securities law violations.
In the summary of its two-year investigation, which was released last month, the IG stopped short of saying the New York Fed could have detected the trading risk before it blew up. Still, it chastised the bank, saying it had identified risky activities in JPMorgan's investment office years earlier but didn't follow up or tell the bank's primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), as procedures demanded.
The IG's office has withheld its full investigation report, saying it contained information that was "confidential" and "privileged." A spokesman declined to provide even a page count.
The New York Fed declined to respond to detailed questions. JPMorgan also declined to comment.
The IG's summary offered only a glimpse into the job performance of what is arguably the most important U.S. financial regulator. The New York Fed's primary responsibility is to protect the safety and soundness of the financial system. After the 2008 financial crisis, Congress gave the Federal Reserve System the task of supervising the biggest and most complex financial institutions whose failure could disrupt the economy. Because of its location, the New York Fed has direct responsibility for many of Wall Street's biggest players. Yet its supervisory culture has been slow to adapt, as ProPublica and This American Life recently reported. . .
Note how much is kept from the public. I suspect the whole truth would be horrifying, given what we've already learned.
Do read the whole thing. It's clear that this has been FUBAR.

Suns fade late as Conley's stardom rises
The Memphis Grizzlies have learned to listen to floor general Mike Conley. They depend on him to lead the team.
Lately, the Grizz's starting point guard has taken his ability to do that up to another level.
Conley rallied Memphis in a late fourth quarter takeover to breeze pass the Phoenix Suns on Friday (Jan. 10) at FedExForum with a 104-99 victory. Fresh off of a 30-point performance on Tuesday in an overtime loss against the San Antonio Spurs, he tallied a career-tying 31 points along with seven assists. And he didn't commit a single turnover.
