Time is running out for Israel to make a deal with the Palestinians, according to three of the most influential figures in recent peace negotiations.
Former Jordanian ambassador to Israel Omar Rifa'i, Dr. Ron Pundak, an initiator of the Oslo peace talks, and former Palestinian Authority minister Dr Sufian Abu Zaydeh were in London to launch a Bicom research paper on Britain's role in the peace process.
EXCLUSIVE: Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor has cancelled an appearance at a London fundraising dinner over fears he could be arrested under universal jurisdiction legislation.
It is believed the Israeli Justice Ministry warned Mr Meridor that a warrant for his arrest may be issued if he entered Britain.
He was due to speak at the Bicom dinner tonight. He was a replacement for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who cancelled last week due to the delicate state of the peace negotiations.
Bicom chairman Poju Zabludowicz was among guests at a launch for Operation Exodus, a new book about the refugee boat intercepted by the British before it reached Palestine in 1947.
The event was arranged by London TV producer Jill Samuels, founder of the charity Films Without Borders, who did the interviews for the book.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit Britain in November, the JC has learned.
Mr Netanyahu will be the keynote speaker at the annual dinner of Bicom, the Israel lobbying organisation, in London on November 1.
But senior Israeli sources refused to confirm that Mr Netanyahu would visit Britain and said any possible plans were not finalised.
A full schedule has not been agreed, but it is thought he is likely to meet his counterpart David Cameron.
No plans have yet been made for Mr Netanyahu to hold other communal meetings.
Bicom plans to boost its profile and influence - with the help of a £400,000 cash injection.
New initiatives include setting up a virtual debating club, creating an Israel and Middle East peace process index, doubling delegations to Israel and establishing an annual policy conference.
The word of the hour is delegitimisation. Doesn't exactly trip off the tongue, but it has nevertheless become the vogue term of art for those defending Israel.
Critics no longer merely "disagree with" - or even "attack" - Israel; they now seek to undermine its very legitimacy as a state.
So hot has this topic become, the Jewish Leadership Council and Bicom are hosting a joint seminar on it this month. Their focus will be a report by Israel's Re'ut Institute that has already prompted a major think-in hosted by Israel's Foreign Ministry.
A delegation of Britain's Jewish community leaders travelled to the United States this week to take part in the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) convention.
Jewish Leadership Council chief executive Jeremy Newmark, Board of Deputies president Vivian Wineman and Bicom chief executive Lorna Fitzsimons led the British group.
Other representatives from the JLC, the Board, the Community Security Trust and Union of Jewish Students joined the trip.
Some 160 people were attracted to Bicom's annual dinner held at the Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge. The event raised £800,000 for Bicom

On Monday night, Channel 4's Dispatches programme will focus on what it calls "one of the most powerful… least transparent lobbying groups in the UK", the pro-Israel lobby. Sadly, the programme seems to have a pre-determined agenda. Some people have suggested that the production team felt compelled to "balance out" their two recent programmes exposing the footprint of radical Islamism in the UK.
I come to this conclusion with a heavy heart, having been led a not-so-merry dance over the past ten days by the programme makers.
Bicom chief executive Lorna Fitzsimons was briefly in quarantine last week with suspected swine flu.
Fitzsimons returned from a trip to the US with suspicious symptoms and was ordered to take herself out of circulation while tests were done.
Thankfully, she turned out to have nothing more than a case of the sniffles.

The Afghans
Between 1870 and 1920 approximately 20,000 camels and between 2000 and 4000 cameleers landed at ports around Australia and a vast network of camel routes spread out across inland Australia. Camels arrived in their hundreds on ships from Karachi and Bombay and excited crowds flocked to the wharves to see the animals unloaded after their long sea trip.
The camel was ideally suited to Australia's desert environment; horses and buffaloes died through lack of water. But if camels were to be used, experienced handlers were indispensable and so men, from what was then an undivided India and Kingdom of Afghanistan (today Pakistan, India and Afghanistan) were 'imported' by British entrepreneurs along with the camels - collectively the men were known as "Afghans" or "Ghans".
Cameleers undertook what was needed to be done when a country is being opened up: accompanying exploratory expeditions, carting wool to ports or railheads and barrels of water to drought-ridden areas, and transporting mail, construction materials and stores at a time when railway construction was in its infancy.
Many rest stations opened up across the country where camel teams converged as they moved from one state to another, and centres such as Marree became established which opened up lines of supply to isolated communities further inland or further north.
The Afghan cameleers led hard lives in this country, and their wives and children were prevented from entering Australia, a restriction not lifted until the late 1920's. Some married and raised families with Anglo Australian or Indigenous women. Today their descendants take pride in the pioneering role played by their ancestors and kinsmen in Australian history.

The "Ghan"
During the cool months of 1923 the South Australian Railways decided to shorten the time taken by trains for passengers and perishable freight between Adelaide and Oodnadatta. Before this time, trains had stopped overnight at stations en-route, including Quorn. After 1923, a sleeping car was provided and the train rescheduled to continue without stabling overnight. Through passengers could leave Adelaide a day later, on Thursday mornings, and return a day earlier than under the previous timetable.
On 30 August 1923 the inaugural through passenger train, which included the Alberga sleeping car, ran from Terowie to Oodnadatta. It was on this trip that the name Ghan has its origin. A large crowd of local people had gathered at Quorn station to witness the arrival of the new train with its sleeping car.
When the train pulled into Quorn yard it was almost dusk. An Afghan passenger wasted no time in getting off the train and sprinting to a quiet corner of the yard where he could kneel to face Mecca and recite his ritual evening prayers. A railwayman made the joking remark that if he was the only passenger on the train it should be called the Afghan Express.
Apparently the name proved popular and was adopted immediately, later being shortened to the Afghan Express, and then to the Ghan by which it was known to local railwaymen for a couple of years prior to the takeover by the Commonwealth Railways in 1926.
There are, of course, many other versions of how the Ghan received its name, but there is nevertheless a concensus of opinion confirming that the name was acquired in 1923 when the first sleeping car train worked on the Great Northern Railway. The "official" versions of the story have been more generic – that the name derived from an observation that the service, when extended to Alice Springs, had superseded the Afghans and their strings of camels. However this, and a commemorative plaque unveiled at the Alice Springs railway station in October 1980 ignores what should be by now a well known fact - the now famous Ghan train derived its name from the sleeping car service introduced between Quorn and Oodnadatta six years before a train steamed into Alice Springs.
Nevertheless it is fitting that the Ghan should serve to perpetuate the memory of that hardy band of tough but gentle men who provisioned the outback with their camel teams in early years.

Support Officer Darren Wilson T-Shirt
The mainstream media has rallied behind Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Their narrative is that an unarmed 18 year old boy was executed by a rogue cop. While the real story has yet to come out, this story is patently false.
Police Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson Police Department used deadly force. Was it warranted? That remains to be seen. But we know that Officer Wilson and his family will need money during this time for expenses including legal fees.
This Support Officer Darren Wilson T-Shirt wil let people know you support Darren Wilson as well as all of the other brave men and women of law enforcement.
In addition to being a great way to show your support, $10 from each t-shirt will be sent directly to Darren Wilson and his family to help them during this trying time.
To be clear. We support a FULL Investigation into this situation. But Officer Darren Wilson is entitled to due process and his day in court just like every other American citizen. He is entitled to a fair trial. And with all of the money flowing in to Michael Brown's family we think it is only appropriate that something be done to make sure Officer Wilson gets his fair chance at justice.

hotel performancePosted Sep 22, 2014
beautiful hotel with character and views over the bay amazing. easy to see on the hill when you arrive but bit difficult to initial fine as enterance via another hotel car park. staff terrific and breakfast lovely . one of the very few hotels i would would ever go back to again and likely i will, that say it all. txs
for Couplesby A verified travelerfrom Bournemouth
Fantastic location and service... but those steps!Posted Sep 6, 2014
Pros: 1) The position 2) The service and attentive staff 3) The ambience 4) The breakfasts - superb
Cons: 1) Bedroom light switching was slightly mysterious, probably advanced, but maybe too advanced for me 2) Hand held shower 3) Difficult to find
Location: Maiori is well placed to visit the coast (Amalfi Positano) but the coast road is not for the timid driver. Pompei's a must but take an organised tour
The hotel is cut into the side of a high cliff among terraces of lemon trees and is approached by it's own funicular. It has several terraced cactus gardens and an "infinity" pool overlooking the bay. Standing on the terrace or on your balcony the views are unsurpassed. We had a very pleasant stay in the Botanico for my wife's special birthday and the staff couldn't do enough for us. It has an intimate, comfortable feel and breakfast on the terrace was an experience to be remembered. Our room had two French windows leading on to each side of the large wrap around balcony. Hot water is always instantly available and towels and bedding were frequently changed. The staff are obliging and helpful and every whim is attended to, sometimes before you're aware of it yourself. However, I would not recommend it for anyone with a disability or limited mobility, as above the funicular there are a further 74 steps before you reach reception. Thank goodness for the willing help with suitcases. I guess that's the price to pay for the views. The food is excellent, although the main restaurant is expensive. Food is also available on the terrace or in the hotels own pizza restaurant.

for Everyoneby A verified traveler
3 night stayPosted Jul 2, 2014
Pros: Good clean room with large balcony and truly brilliant views over the Amalfi coast. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Cons: Signposting to the entrance. Hotel is at top of a hill with no road up. You need to go in thru' road to another hotel and take llift/funicular up
Location: Just off coast road through Maiori. Local twon is nice as a base. Trips by cab to nearby, Amamfi, Ravello etc are expensive but worthwhile
Very happy with the hotel, staff and location. Exceptional views and quality of room and service. Nice swimming pool. Only negative is trouble finding it. Hotel Botanico is halfway up a cliff with no road up. You need to go in through a road to another hotel (Pietra Di Luna) round the back of it and then take llift/funicular up to a further set of steps to get to reception. Havingsaid that any trouble finding it pales into insignifigance when compared to all the positives. I highly recommend this hotel

Superb servicePosted May 20, 2014
Cons: Directions to get to the hotel need to be made available to expedia bookings. The shower in room 204 doesnt work very well.
Great views, small but comfortable rooms, outstanding service.

Excellent Hotel for luxury breakPosted Nov 3, 2013
Pros: excellent breakfasts and very friendly service. swimming pool also lovely.
Location: Great bus service to Amalfi or Salerno - boats also available weather permitting. Lovely walks along the coast and into the hills/mountains.
We had a fabuluous holiday in this hotel. The staff are really helpful - especially the breakfast team who helped make our stay a really wonderful experience. The surroumdings are beautiful, infinity pool the most relaxing experience and the location is ideal for exploring the whole Amalfi coast. We would thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent hotel & locationPosted Jul 22, 2013
Pros: The staff - the gorgeous view and the breakfast
Perfect location to relax and enjoy the best Maiori / Amalfi coast has to offer. The staff were super friendly and always approachable. Also as everyone have already mentioned the breakfast was great. One of the few places/hotels that I would gladly return to.
for Everyoneby Andreafrom Boston, MA
Lovely lovely relaxing stay!Posted Apr 22, 2013
Pros: The balcony, the staff, the robes and slippers and the breakfast!
Cons: the steps up, but they are building an elevator
Location: Maiori is a small town right on the sandy beach that has access to boats and busses to Amalfi, Positano and Capri. Really a great escape!
This was our second stay here. Everything was as lovely as we remembered. Room was prefectly clean with large fluffy towels, robes and slippers. Large balcony overlooking the water and town. Huge breakfast buffet had lots of cheeses, grilled vegetables, fresh eggs made to order,and also delicious sweets. Amazing views. This hotel is getting an elevator this summer! The staff is really friendly and kind. We asked for a tour of the other rooms, and wow, all the rooms we saw had the amazing water views, balconies, unique tiles, pretty color schemes. My fiancee went for a swim (April!) in the infinity pool while I lounged. Certainly a first class property. This town is a break from the touristy noise of the other Amalfi towns.
for Everyoneby SJGfrom London, UK
Lovely hotel but with some reservationsPosted Sep 14, 2012
Pros: Location, quiet, cleanliness, decor, beautiful gardens
Cons: Inexperienced waiting staff
Location: The hotel is in the beautiful village of Maoiri, up 210 steps. A fairly quiet resort frequented by many Italians and not over touristy.
This is a very pleasant, quiet, beautifully decorated, spotless hotel in a lovely location (up 210 steps) but I am not sure it warrants the 5 stars it professes to be. We did not eat dinner in the hotel as it is expensive and the food for breakfast was varied but the same uneaten cakes seemed to reappear for several days. Also a cooked breakfast is available but there is no menu and what you are offered depends on who serves you. Drinks are offered at the swimming pool but on a rather adhoc basis. Most of the staff try their utmost to please but there seems to be an overall lack of management supervision and direction particularly with regard to some of the restaurant staff who are young and inexperienced. However when we complained about the restaurant service and issues with the tap in our room which the hotel failed to repair after several requests the manager was most upset and upgraded our room and could not have done more for us. The owner owns a restaurant and hotel in the town and spends most of his time there - I think the hotel would benefit from him being around more.
for Everyoneby Andreafrom Boston, MA
Beautiful property with many thoughtful detailsPosted Aug 3, 2012
We had the most amazing stay here. The room was superbly clean, linen sheets, large fluffy towels, Frette robes, flat screen TV with Sky satelite, WIFI and a large balcony with water views. The service was very polite, the outdoor patio with views was amazing at breakfast and in the evenings for cocktails. The infinity pool overlooked the water and had large towels, lovely white chairs and cocktail service. Finally, we ordered massages on our balcony, what a treat. You really should take advantage of this on your first morning and relax your way into vacation, you will not regret it. The therapist brought in the table and did a great job. The only downside to this property was the inital walk up from the main street, but they had guys to carry our luggage and after the first time, it seemed shorter and like a nice way to close out the day. In addition, we had our small dog with us and they were very kind to him, which goes a long way in our book. 100% we would recommend this hotel and plan to return.

London, Then and Now
I think I've shared before a cool color video of London in the 1920s called "On the Road". Well last year Simon Smith set out to reproduce every scene in that film in contemporary London and created a video of old and new side by side. It's delightful, of course. If the video doesn't display for you, click here. h/t Atlantic Cities
Here's another look back in time for you. This is a four minute color video of Montreal in the 1960s by Jimmy Deschenes. If the video doesn't display for you, click here. h/t Stéphane Dumas

One Response to "London, Then and Now"
valar84 says:
That video of Montréal seems to have been filmed in 1967, the year of the universal exposition. Some signs: the Métro sign, which was inaugurated in 1967 for the Expo, the Turcot interchange, the monorail, which was a circuit built for the Expo and mostly torn down in 1971, save for a loop around the La Ronde amusement park. The degree of activity on the ground during the monorail shots seem to show that the Expo was on full swing.
The universal exposition was perhaps the peak of Montréal. 50 million entries were counted. Beautiful pavilions were built, some still in use today like the American pavilion, that huge sphere you can see in the video from the monorail, and the French pavilion, which is now the casino. The event was so influential that when Montréal got a MLB baseball team, they were named "the Expos".
Interesting to know, in order to move people across the site, a light rail line, the Expo-Express. The frequency at peak was 5 minutes, and each train could carry 1 000 passengers, for a near-subway-like capacity of 12 000 people per hour per direction. The 6-km line was built for 18 million dollars, 125 millions in 2014 dollars. However, when the Expo wound down, there was not really any point to maintaining the service, as it connected only with a park on a small island. a park already served by a subway line, and it was entirely scrapped a few years later. The memory of this transport feat is largely forgotten. It goes to show that good light rail lines could be built at very affordable prices and with great capacity if the political will is there to do it at grade in less dense areas.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 9 — Top executives from 19 commercial real estate companies met with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) officials in New York City today to discuss plans to dramatically reduce the sector's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The meeting officially launched DOE's Commercial Real Estate Energy Alliance (CREEA), a partnership of commercial real estate owners and operators who have volunteered to work together with DOE to make lasting change in the energy consumption of commercial real estate buildings in the United States.

Among the most important decisions in terms of these costs and errors that survey researchers can make is the mode of administration. Often, modes that are the most expensive have the most favorable error properties; as costs increase, error often decreases. Increasingly, multiple modes are used to reduce errors while containing costs. The American Community Survey (ACS) uses multiple modes to increase response rates, presumably reducing nonresponse bias. This study will examine different kinds of mixed mode designs similar to the ACS with respect to nonresponse bias, measurement error, and cost (Census Dissertation Fellowship topics B1 and G).

Good luck with that!Personally I´m disappointed that the Pope would meet Obama but perhaps he is hoping that God´s hand will change Obie´s direction.Unfortunately, even if Christ came down from the cross and stood before him, Obama would turn his back and walk away.

Kylie Jenner Hospitalized After Trampoline "Accident" ... or Staged Excuse For Surgery?by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Kylie Jenner took a break from posing inappropriate photos on Instagram yesterday in order to jump on a trampoline with Khloe Kardashian.
And she paid the price for it. Hard.
Following a major fall, the 16-year old actually ended up in the hospital. And she blamed her older half-sibling for the accident online, writing:
"my mom said 'never thought I would take u to the doctor for a trampoline accident at this age' this means war Khloe."
Khloe posted the above picture on Instagram, defending herself against Kyle's accusations in the process.
"Kylie this is proof you did it to yourself! Sorry not sorry! Just kidding I am sorry my little bug a boo!! Let the war continue!!!!" wrote Kardashian.
It also may be proof that the entire thing was staged.
Who, exactly, was taking pictures of Khloe and Kylie on a trampoline? And why were Khloe and Kylie even on a trampoline in the first place?!?
We may need to dig into some hospital records to prove the legitimacy of this story ... except Kris Jenner probably already had them sealed.
Some have even posited that Kylie will now resurface with a dramatically different look, and this was all an attempt to mask other medical "treatment."
We'll find out soon enough. In the meantime, click through a number of kind-of TMI Kylie and Kendall Jenner pictures that don't involve possibly-scripted accidents:
Oh please.This girl is fully utilizing the power of makeup. Without any makeup, she basically the same as her younger self. Makeup CAN make you look very different then your natural self, it's a fact.
I think its funny that you guys are slamming the site but have you seen her IG lately? She looks COMPLETELY different!
When people get famous they just don't no what to do :) kinda feel bad for them
Sounds like a way to cover up plastic surgery...
I'm hoping for some new boobies!
U so true
For the Kardashians, bad publicity is better than no publicity. Even though it was a silly accident, Khloe probably weighs more than Kylie, and being the adult that she is, should know better than to jump two to a tramp. I really hope Kylie moves away from her family for an educational pursuit of fashion, possibly in Europe. Would that be far enough away? There's still hope for the two youngest girls as they were Bruce's kids.
Are you kidding me? This article is a complete joke. Kylie bruised her sternum, which is not anywhere newr her face, ow is she gonna use it as an excuse to get a plstic surgery. These gossip sites are truly pathetic :D
This is all such bulls*t! The fact that you can't even state the make of the car when it's staring you right in the face just shows how stupid this article is. I feel so sorry for those girls and the amount of pressure they get put under from silly gossip sites like this. You're making a story out of nothing, as you've stated so many times, she is 16!! leave her to grow up for god's sake.
Kylie will come out with a total new transformation. New boobs,butt,nose,lips,or unless kylie went into the hospital to have a SECRET (ABORTION) you name it kylie will be a total different 16 yr old.Khloe, gave Kylie the beat down. Next on the storylines it will be reporting that Khloe has decided to join the WWE to become a wrestler. Khloe wants to be a female wrestler big time and I truly believe khloe might just have a chance to succeed. Khloe is an Amazon with some serious mental secret issues. One thing for sure Khloe, would have a chance to call all the shots on her new life.LOL
the K's just needed an excuse to give this kid surgery. Watch as she comes out with a new nose/lips/face... you can dress sow in silk, but a sow she will remain. Plastic surgery "might" fix her face, but it does not fix a shallow person.

Despite Federal Stimulus Spending Only 38% of Maryland Roads in Good Condition
Posted by Mark Newgent at 7/29/2013 11:28:00 AM
Labels: gas tax, Martin O'Malley, transportation trust fund
firstly, I think this study was done by a think tank whose job it is to lobby for more road money.
Honestly, Maryland roads are fine. Significantly better than PA, and they get by just fine.
Second, the transportation fund will continually be raided. That's because maryland pensions are less than 66% funded. Heck, we could cut them 25% and they STILL would not be funded.
Maryland will never tax its way out of this mess. people will move to VA leaving MD a hollow shell and in bankruptcy.
the real problem as i see it is that republicans have been ineffective in urban & suburban areas at communicating the dire need for change before Baltimore ends up like Detroit. Statewide elections require voters in Baltimore, PG, Montgomery, and Howard county. Even some Democrats are starting to run against the unions, realizing the problem. I see headlines about Frosh and Gansler, nada from any republican candidates. you cant win elections in stealth mode.

Dangers of Pneumonia for the Elderly
Pneumonia is a serious inflammation and infection of the lungs that is responsible for over 50,000 deaths annually, making it one of the leading causes of mortality in the United States. Seniors age 65 and older are at increased risk for developing pneumonia. In fact, older adults accounted for 60% of pneumonia-related hospital discharges in 2005 alone.
During the winter months, the elderly are at heightened risk for contracting influenza. If severe or improperly treated, the flu can quickly progress into pneumonia. With flu season now hitting its height, knowing the warning signs that signal complications from pneumonia is of critical importance. Since pneumonia symptoms may also closely mimic that of a common cold or influenza, its important to be able to distinguish between the sicknesses in order to discern when more serious treatment is needed.
Why are elderly persons more vulnerable to pneumonia?
Because the immune system weakens with age, seniors have a harder time warding off illness and therefore contract pneumonia more easily. Although the infection is localized within the lungs, pneumonia causes the body to decrease blood flow to other organs, which can result in life-threatening complications including kidney failure and sepsis.
For those with multiple chronic conditions, the risk of complications from pneumonia increases. Those with co-morbid conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, and COPD are more susceptible and have weaker defenses.
The medical community also suggests that signs of pneumonia in seniors differ from the rest of the adult population, which sometimes results in delayed diagnosis and more severe illness. Older adults may have no fever and may exhibit non-specific symptoms such as sleepiness, lethargy, and loss of appetite that do not automatically "scream" of a pneumonia diagnosis. Those with significant memory loss and dementia can also may problems communicating their symptoms, which also delays treatment.
What are the symptoms of pneumonia among older adults?
A change in cognitive status (delirium, confusion, dementia) is a major sign of pneumonia in the elderly. Other warning signs include:
- Pain in the chest
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating
- Shaking chills
- High fever
- Muscle aches and joint pain
- "Dusty" or purplish skin (a result of inadequate blood oxygen supply)
- Clammy skin that is cool to the touch
What can be done to prevent pneumonia in seniors?
If your aging parent contracts the flu, make sure he or she receives plenty of rest, fluids, and adequate amounts of nutrition to sustain recovery. Remind all caregivers in the home to follow strict hand washing procedures to decrease the spread of infection.
Physicians and the CDC also recommend a one-time pneumonia vaccine against streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria (pneumococcus) for everyone age 65 and older.

Woes with Obamacare in states like Maryland, Oregon give Republicans election ammunition
Don Ryan, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — House Republicans intent on highlighting the woes of President Barack Obama's health care law need to look no further than their own back yards, some of which are traditionally liberal strongholds.
Maryland's online health care exchange has been plagued by computer glitches since its rollout last year, reflected in abysmal enrollment numbers well below projections through January. The state's lone Republican in Congress, Rep. Andy Harris, has asked the inspector general of the federal Health and Human Services Department to investigate.
In Oregon, the online portal has struggled to sign up a single individual, and Republican Rep. Greg Walden recently sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office pressing for an inquiry. Officials in both states insist they are working to fix the problems.
"Everybody's pointing fingers at everyone else, so we have no idea why this went wrong," Harris, who was an anesthesiologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital for 30 years, said in a recent interview.
Unified in their opposition to the law, Republicans have been relentless in focusing on its problems, from complaints of canceled policies to higher insurance premiums and Obama's unilateral decision to delay for two years the requirement that small businesses cover employees.
The GOP effort has intensified this election year as Republicans look to capitalize on dissatisfaction with the law, turning voter dismay into November victories. The ill effect of "Obamacare" is the GOP's constant refrain.
Nearly 3.3 million Americans have enrolled through the federal and state marketplaces as the federal online site worked out the problems of its disastrous rollout, a recent sign of promise for the 4-year-old law.
A silver lining for Democrats in the recent enrollment numbers is the actual sign-ups exceeding projected totals in New Hampshire, North Carolina, Michigan and Colorado, according to the January figures. Three of those states have Senate Democrats who voted for the law and now face re-election — Kay Hagan in North Carolina, Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire and Mark Udall in Colorado.
In Michigan, Democratic Rep. Gary Peters is trying to win the open seat currently held by retiring Democratic Sen. Carl Levin.
But local woes have provided fodder for some Republicans, like Harris and Walden, as the GOP looks to maintain its steady drumbeat of criticism.
Maryland is one of 14 states that chose to run its own exchange, but it has been beset by technological problems, reports of ignored warnings before its start Oct. 1 and a price tag that could exceed $250 million in state and federal dollars. Even Democratic officials have raised the possibility of perhaps abandoning the state operation and switching to the federal online site to sign up individuals.
In the meantime, Harris and Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., two members of the House Appropriations Committee, wrote to HHS Inspector General Daniel Levinson on Feb. 12 requesting an investigation "into the flagrant waste and abuse of taxpayer monies that were spent and are continuing to be spent for the creation of the Maryland health insurance exchange and online marketplace."
As of January, the most recent enrollment numbers show Maryland signed up 29,059, far fewer than its target of 93,000.
In Oregon, the state exchange website known as Cover Oregon is still plagued with problems, with individuals unable to compare policies and sign up. More than $300 million in federal grants to the state have gone to the website and its future is in doubt.
Walden, who chairs the committee to elect Republicans to the House, along with Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, sent a letter Feb. 12 to the GAO seeking an investigation.

I've been waiting for this for a while (one of my fave bands) and it's wicked! If you've not heard of the Dropkick Murphys, I think the best way to describe their kind of music is a fusion of punk/rock/Irish folk music with a hint of celtic roots with influences like The Pogues, The Clash, Bruce Springstine, the Dubliners etc. If you've seen the film The Departed, they did the intro track "Shipping out to Boston". Check out their new track, guitars & bagpipes = awesome.
Sweet! Not listened to them in ages! Anything new from Flogging molly?
They have a new album due out on May 31st called "The Speed of Darkness" - Details here: Flogging Molly return with the Speed of Darkness « Consequence of Sound
Another album to add to my "can't wait to listen to" list.
I gave them a shot a while back, bought a/the DVD.
Not really my sort of thing. It is exactly as Rawns describes it though and worth a look.
Give me Snuff (cockney semi-ska punk) anyday.
YouTube - Snuff - Chocs away
I'm Irish on my Dad's side so no doubts on the outcome of St Paddy's day!
Dropkick Murphys are one of those bands I put on every now and then and listen to for a few weeks, then don't listen to them again for 6 months or so. Nice to see some new material from them

Diver David Boudia ready to return to competition
May 6, 2013, 4:12 PM EST
It's been almost a year since David Boudia won his somewhat surprising 10m platform gold in London, but the two-time Olympic medalist said he's ready to get back in the water at the AT&T USA Diving Grand Prix this weekend. Well, not entirely ready.
"I'm probably at sixty-percent, but I'm okay with that," Boudia confessed to Purdue Sports.
"I'm not looking to go in there and sweep away everything in the competition, but I'm going in there like the Olympic Games: to just go in, dive how I've prepared, and hopefully walk away with some learning experience again."
Boudia, who admitted he was a bit nervous about returning to competition, hasn't really been far from the pool during his layoff. Instead, he's been helping the celebrities of ABC's Splash become pro divers in their own right.
"It was cool to see what the celebrities did in the ten weeks they had to prepare. It shows how brutal this sport is, how hard it is, and that not everyone can just get up there and go and look like an Olympian."
Boudia said he's using the Florida meet as a tuneup for the USA Diving World Championships Trials in Tallahassee next week, as he aims to earn a spot at worlds in Barcelona this summer. If he qualifies, it's expected to be his only other event on the calendar in 2013.

Academy in Vt. to expand to KoreaNovember 30,2012ST. JOHNSBURY A private Vermont high school in St. Johnsbury is planning to open a campus in South Korea.
St. Johnsbury Academy was the first American school chosen to operate at the Jeju Global Education City, school officials said Thursday.
