BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Dozens of people looking for a deal were at a former nightclub in the Chippewa Entertainment District in downtown Buffalo Wednesday.
Hundreds of items were on the auction block at the former Social Nightclub. The items ranged from bar products, lighting and audio equipment, and more.
Auctiongoers said there were many great deals, but because you can't try the equipment before its purchased, buyer beware.
According to auctioneer Cash Cunningham one of the highest valued items on the auction block was an electronic point of sale system.
"It was really a bargain for somebody at $2,500. That's a system that they probably paid 10 to 15 times that much when they put it in 3 years ago," said Cunningham.
The State Liquor Authority revoked the nightclub's liquor license after incidents of underage drinking, commingling and violence at the establishment.

Several medications can help people with alcohol use disorders maintain abstinence or reduce drinking, according to research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
he work, published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), provides additional options for clinicians to effectively address this global concern.
Although alcohol use disorders are associated with many health problems, including cancers, stroke and depression, fewer than one-third of people with the disorders receive any treatment and less than 10 percent receive medications to help reduce alcohol consumption.
"There are many studies that have tried to show whether certain medications can help with alcohol use disorders, but it is a lot of information to digest and many providers do not know what works or doesn't work," said Daniel Jonas, lead author of the study and professor in the department of medicine and the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research. "When you synthesize all the evidence, it shows pretty clearly that some medications do work."
Jonas led a team from the RTI-UNC Evidence-based Practice Center to review published studies examining the use of drugs to treat alcohol use disorders. The researchers conducted a systematic review of 122 randomized controlled trials and one cohort study. They then graded the strength of the evidence on the impact of drugs on alcohol consumption.
They found that two drugs, acamprosate (brand name Campral) and oral naltrexone (brand name Revia), have the best evidence supporting their benefits. Both drugs reduced return to drinking and improved other drinking outcomes. Among medications used off-label (i.e., those not FDA approved for alcohol use disorders), moderate evidence showed improvement in some drinking outcomes for topiramate and nalmefene.
"The health implications of preventing return to drinking and reducing alcohol consumption are substantial," said Jonas. "Modeling studies have shown that such improvements would result in significant reductions in alcohol-attributable mortality, costs from health care, arrests and motor vehicle accidents."
"This work expands upon the growing evidence that medications can play a valuable role in the treatment of alcohol use disorders," said James Garbutt, professor of psychiatry and scientist at UNC's Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies and senior author on the paper. "We are hopeful that this information will encourage clinicians to strongly consider these medications and that individuals will gain awareness that there are medications that can help them to stop or significantly reduce their alcohol use."
The study was developed by the AHRQ-funded RTI-UNC Evidence-based Practice Center is a collaboration between RTI International and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Jonas co-directs the center with Meera Viswanathan at RTI. The review is an update of the first product of the center, which was published in 1999 in JAMA. Since 1999, there has been more than a tenfold increase in the number of individuals studied in controlled clinical trials of naltrexone and acamprosate, and many trials of medications that are not FDA-approved.

A federal lawsuit filed in New York is seeking to force the government to reduce the use of antibiotics in animal feed on the grounds it diminishes the effectiveness of the drugs to treat people.
The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court Wednesday. It accuses the federal Food and Drug Administration of failing to protect human health after concluding in 1977 that feeding animals low doses of certain antibiotics was potentially harmful to people's health.
The lawsuit says the antibiotics are sometimes given to healthy farm animals to promote faster growth and to protect them in unsanitary living conditions. It says the danger to humans occurs when the antibiotics promote antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can infect people.
The FDA did not immediately respond to a message for comment.

Q2 Monetary policy review, Rupee, Sensex, Mineral production
Wed Dec 18 2013, 18:39 hrs
The RBI had been widely expected to raise the repo rate , after lifting the country's main lending rate by 25 basis points each at its previous reviews in Sept and Oct. It instead opted to keep the country's main lending rate at 7.75 percent. (Graph:PTI)
The BSE Sensex index rose by 247.72 points, or 1.20 per cent, to 20,859.86. Overall, nearly 1,500 stocks, or 6 out of every 10 traded on BSE rose, helping investor wealth rise by Rs 85000 crore.(Graph:PTI)
Rupee opened strong at 61.90 a US dollar from the previous close of 62.01 at the interbank foreign exchange market. It climbed to 61.77 on a smart rebound in domestic stocks. (Graph:PTI)
Rupee surrendered initial gains, losing eight paise to 62.09 against the US dollar as concerns about the US Fed Reserve tapering its stimulus programme outweighed Rajan's surprise decision on interest rates. (Graph:PTI)
RBI unexpectedly kept the country's policy interest rate on hold, despite calling current inflation too high, citing the prospect of easing retail prices and its concerns about the weak domestic economy. (Graph:PTI)
Mineral production fell slightly to Rs 16,412 cr in Oct mainly due to decline in coal and iron ore output. The country had produced minerals worth Rs 16,975 crore in the same month last year (Graph:PTI)
The BSE Sensex index rose by 247.72 points to 20,859.86. Also, NSE Nifty index shot up by 78.10 points to end at 6,217.15. RIL, HDFC Ltd and L&T lifted the 30-share Sensex where Tata Power and BHEL were among best performers in the 27 that rose. (Graph:PTI)

25th Year Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall … Nov. 9, 1989
It is hard to believe it has been 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall …
Nov. 9, 1989, 25 years later and it seems like yesterday I can remember watching the news of the German people hammering, chiseling and tearing down the Berlin Wall, symbolizing the freedom of the East German people and the defeat of Communism. Thousands of East Berliners poured into West Berlin and freedom. It was a moment in history that you remember where you were when you saw the images of the fall of Communism and the rise of freedom. It is a forever remembered moment in history for the world, not just Germany. The people celebrated in the streets, as Germans shed their hammers and sickles for hammers and chisels and brought the wall down forever.
White balloons spanning a stretch of the former death strip floated over hundreds of thousands of revelers in the German capital on Sunday, culminating a day of celebrations to mark 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
More than 300,000 people gathered in Berlin to watch a light installation of 8,000 helium balloons tracing a nine-mile stretch be released into the night sky, police said. The illuminated balloons snaked past historic locations such as Checkpoint Charlie as part of a celebration that included music and fireworks at the city's Brandenburg Gate—a location once circumvented by the wall.
Speaking earlier in the day, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the fall of the Berlin Wall proof that dreams could come true during a ceremony to mark the event's 25th anniversary. She added that its collapse offered hope to regions where "freedom and human rights are threatened or even trampled on."
For days, celebrations throughout Germany have been commemorating the opening of the East German border on Nov. 9, 1989. The breaching of the border heralded the collapse of the Communist system and led to German reunification less than a year later.
The Iconic Photo of the Fall of the Berlin Wall
National Geographic on the Berlin Wall, pretty good documentary.
The Guardian: A city undivided: the fall of the Berlin Wall commemorated 25 years on.
This year's commemoration of the fall of the Iron Curtain may also feel more poignant because there is a palpable sense that peace in Europe in 2014 is more fragile than it was at the 20th anniversary in 2009.
In her speech at the wall memorial on Bernauer Strasse on Saturday afternoon, Germany's chancellor, Angela Merkel, had explicitly emphasized the geopolitical resonances of the event, instead of indulging in personal reminiscences.
"We have the strength to shape things, to turn things from bad to good, that is the message of the fall of the wall," she said. "These days, that message is directed at Ukraine, Syria, Iraq and many, many other regions in the world."
Let us never forget what real leadership looks like. Where US President Ronald Wilson Reagan not only went to Berlin, Germany on June 12, 1987 and gave his famous speech when he uttered those famous words that would eventually come true … "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall," but also helped bring about the fall of Communism. Wow, imagine that, a president with a spine and resolve to effectuate real change that brought liberty to millions, not one apologizing for America's actions. A president that looked to unify people, not divide them. A president that looked to end Communism, not partake in it. God bless Ronald Reagan. These days we can only say, what a novel concept.
President Ronald Reagan – Speech at the Brandenburg Gate – West Berlin, Germany – June 12, 1987:
Chancellor Kohl, Governing Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen: Twenty-four years ago, President John F. Kennedy visited Berlin, speaking to the people of this city and the world at the City Hall. Well, since then two other presidents have come, each in his turn, to Berlin. And today I, myself, make my second visit to your city.
We come to Berlin, we American presidents, because it's our duty to speak, in this place, of freedom. But I must confess, we're drawn here by other things as well: by the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald and the Tiergarten; most of all, by your courage and determination. Perhaps the composer Paul Lincke understood something about American presidents. You see, like so many presidents before me, I come here today because wherever I go, whatever I do: Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin. [I still have a suitcase in Berlin.]
In the 1950s, Khrushchev predicted: "We will bury you." But in the West today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of prosperity and well-being unprecedented in all human history. In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, even want of the most basic kind–too little food. Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself. After these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity. Freedom replaces the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace. Freedom is the victor.
And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control.
Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.
General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Top Obama Adviser Valerie Jarrett Admits Pushing Hollywood Writers to Obamacare into scripts of TV Shows and Movies … Joseph Goebbels Would Be So Proud
To attract people, to win over people to that which I have realized as being true, that is called propaganda.
In the beginning there is the understanding, this understanding uses propaganda as a tool to find those men, that shall turn understanding into politics.
Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct.
I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry. The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right. (Joseph Goebbels)
What might be most shocking about the below Valerie Jarrett interview with 'Top That' on Pop Sugar.com is that Democrats and especially the Obama Administration does not even hide it anymore that they and the media are the Democrat-Media Complex. White House adviser Valerie Jarrett was out in LA this week meeting with television and movie producers and writers to encourage them to include favorable Obamacare mentions in their scripts. ARE YOU KIDDING!!! A government going to the media to shill their agenda for script and product placement to make it appear that they are mainstream and brainwash the people with propaganda. This is still the United States, is it not?
"That's the cool thing," a host said to the presidential advisor. "You've been reaching out to people that are, you know, outside of the norm of what the president might work with. Who else are you working with? Like celebrities, personalities, things like that?"
"You name it," said Jarrett. "That's part of why I'm in L.A. I'm meeting with writers of various TV shows and movies to try to get it into the scripts." When Jarrett says "it into the scripts," she's referring to getting references to Obamacare, the president's signature legislation, into the scripts of TV shows and movies.
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of propaganda, would be so proud of Valerie Jarrett's actions.
Control of the arts and media was not just a matter of personnel. Soon the content of every newspaper, book, novel, play, film, broadcast and concert, from the level of nationally-known publishers and orchestras to local newspapers and village choirs, was subject to supervision by the Propaganda Ministry, although a process of self-censorship was soon effectively operating in all these fields, leaving the Ministry in Berlin free to concentrate on the most politically sensitive areas such as insuring that both major newspapers, and the new far-reaching, instantaneous state radio presented the unified Nazi worldview. In his 1933 speech, "Radio as the Eighth Great Power" Goebbels said:
"We .. intend a principled transformation in the worldview of our entire society, a revolution of the greatest possible extent that will leave nothing out, changing the life of our nation in every regard …
The following are Joseph Goebbels' quotes. It would be pretty difficult to tell whether they were from the Nazi minister of propaganda, or Team Obama:
- "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play." (Joseph Goebbels)
- "It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion." (Joseph Goebbels)
Secretary of State John Kerry Shames Russia for Invading Ukraine: "It's Really 19th Century Behavior in the 21st Century"
Does President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry realize that Russian President Vladimir Putin is former KGB … he has no shame.
Secretary of State John Kerry made an appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press' today to discuss the current crisis with the Russian invasion of the Crimea region in Ukraine. Sec. Kerry spoke sternly toward the Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. Kerry said to David Gregory, "you just don't invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests." Does the Obama administration understand that Putin thinks that you do invade another country to assert your interests? Kerry's tough talk ought to make Putin reconsider invasion. NOT!!!
Well, we're now discussing all of the options. This is an act of aggression that is completely trumped up in terms of its pretext. It's really 19th-century behavior in the 21st century, and there's no way to start with that if Russia persists in this, that the G8 countries are going to reassemble in Sochi. That's a starter. But there's much more than that.
Just a note to Barack Obama and John Kerry, Vladimir Putin is not John Boehner nor Mitch McConnell.
Full transcript can be read here at NBC News, 'Meet the Press'.
Well, we're now discussing all of the options. This is an act of aggression that is completely trumped up in terms of its pretext. It's really 19th-century behavior in the 21st century, and there's no way to start with that if Russia persists in this, that the G8 countries are going to reassemble in Sochi. That's a starter. But there's much more than that.
Russia has major investment in trade needs and desires. I think there's a unified view by all of the foreign ministers I talked with yesterday, all of the G8 and more, that they're simply going to isolate Russia. That they're not going to engage with Russia in a normal, business-as-usual manner.
Because Russia is inviting opprobrium on the international stage. There could even be ultimately asset freezes, visa bans. There could be certainly a disruption of any of the normal trade routine, and there could be business drawback on investment in the country. The ruble is already going down and feeling the impact of this.
And the reason for this, David, is because you just don't invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests. There are ways to deal with this. And President Putin knows that. President Obama yesterday offered mediation. There are plenty of ways to protect Russian-speaking people in Crimea or other parts of Ukraine. But they are really sort of a hidden pretext here, possibly trying to annex Crimea.

Remember When Barack Obama Ridiculed Mitt Romney During 2012 Presidential Debates about Russia … '1980s Are Calling to Ask for Their Foreign Policy Back' … How Do Those "Rose Colored" Glasses Fit There Barack?
Yet another reason why you don't elect, let alone reelect SNARK or a Campaigner is Chief …
Remember when Barack Obama made the snide, wise-a$$, ridiculing comment during the 2012 presidential debates to GOP candidate Mitt Romney regarding Russia and that the 1980′s want their foreign policy back? And everyone thought Obama was so cute making such a witty comment. So what do you think of Obama's comments now as Russia and Vladimir Putin have invaded Ukraine. Just curious America, how's that "Hopey-Changey" stuff working out for ya? Where is your
Moses Obamamessiah now? By the way Barack, how do those rose colored glasses fit?
Fox News' Bret Baier opened a segment of his show Friday night by flashing back to an October 2012 presidential debate where President Obama ridiculed Republican presidential nominee Romney about his concern over Russia's "geo-political" threat.
"You said Russia. Not Al Qaida. You said Russia," Obama said regarding biggest threats. "The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because…the cold war's been over for 20 years."
Mitt Romney's intelligent, powerful and correct retort was as follows:
"Russia, I indicated, is a geopolitical foe … and I said in the same paragraph I said and Iran is the greatest national security threat we face. Russia does continue to battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this. I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin …"
Is it any wonder why at this moment so many Americans wish that had a do-over of the 2012 presidential election and they would not vote for Barack Obama. He has been wrong and an epic failure on everything in be domestic and foreign policy. What else would you expect but snark from an individual who was completely unqualified to be president?
FCC Cancels Media Survey Amid Allegations of Trying to Regulate The News and Trample First Amendment Freedom of the Press Rights
Hero of the Week … whistler-blower FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai.
The FCC blinked and has canceled the media survey and plans to evaluate the coverage of media outlets in the Obama's administration to attempt to violate the First Amendment and Freedom of the Press. As stated at the Washington Examiner, the First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press …" However, under the Obama administration, the Federal Communications Commission was planning to send government contractors into the nation's newsrooms to determine whether journalists are producing articles, television reports, Internet content, and commentary that meets the public's "critical information needs." As per The Obama Administration, of course. The very agency that controls the licensing for the media was now going to inspect them for content and whether they were telling the correct stories. UNREAL. The now canceled study was known at the FCC as "the CIN Study" was never put to an FCC vote, it was just announced. Imagine that. Why does this reek of IRS-gate? Or AP-gate? But in an act of conscience and bravery, FCC commissioner Ajit Pai came forward and brought the story to the public's attention in a Wall Street Journal column last week.
First FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai brings the scheme to light and the FCC removed some of the controversial questions
The Federal Communications Commission cancelled a plan to evaluate the coverage of major media outlets Friday after a tidal wave of media criticism alleged the agency was attempting to influence and regulate the news media industry.
"In the course of FCC review and public comment, concerns were raised that some of the questions may not have been appropriate," the agency said in a statement Friday. "Chairman Wheeler agreed that survey questions in the study directed toward media outlet managers, news directors, and reporters overstepped the bounds of what is required."
However, despite the fact that the FCC had to pull the plug on this survey because of the negative attention and anti-First Amendment look of this attempt by the government to regulate the media, FCC Chair Wheeler said that it was not an attempt to do so. Sure it wasn't, so then why cancel the study … hmm? Who backs of an attempt to limit the media unless you were caught red-handed? But instead, they continue to dent what their real intentions were. America needs to wake up … the Obama administration is as lawless as it gets.
Despite a response letter from FCC Chair Tom Wheeler saying the study was not an attempt to force news organizations into changing their coverage, the agency conceded the battle and Wheeler called for the removal of the questions entirely.
"Any suggestion that the FCC intends to regulate the speech of news media or plans to put monitors in America's newsrooms is false," the statement said. "The FCC looks forward to fulfilling its obligation to Congress to report on barriers to entry into the communications marketplace, and is currently revising its proposed study to achieve that goal."
UPDATE I: FCC Commissioner Blows Whistle on Agency's Media Study and goes 'On the Record'
Click here to watch VIDEO – screen grab from Fox News, 'On the Record'
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Does President Obama really think no one at FOX will see a government spy in our newsroom? Tonight, an FCC commissioner goes ON THE RECORD and blows the whistle on a plan to install spies in newsroom. They call it something else, like a monitor. But no one is that stupid. We know what they are trying to do.
The FCC commissioner who blew the whistle is here to go ON THE RECORD. Commissioner Ajit Pai joins us.
Nice to see you, sir.
AJIT PAI, FCC COMMISSIONER: Thanks for having me.
VAN SUSTEREN: So your op-ed blew the whistle on this. What is it the FCC wants to do and why you wrote your op-ed?
PAI: The FCC is proposing to do what it is calling a Critical Information Needs, or CIN, study. They will send researchers into newsrooms across the country, television and broadcast and newspapers, to try to figure out why they cover the stories they do. They have identified eight categories of news they think news people should be covering. Some of the questions they ask were highly technical. They are asking reporters, for example, have you ever wanted to cover a story and were told you can't do so. As I looked into the study design, I got concerned about what it implicated for our First Amendment values. That's why I wrote it in the "Wall Street Journal."
VAN SUSTEREN: What's been the response by the other members of the FCC?
PAI: I haven't talked to all my colleagues, but I am pleased to report, tonight, the chairman of the FCC, Tom Wheeler, instructed the contractor, who will be doing the study, to remove questions from the study relating to news philosophy and editorial judgment. That's a positive step but the devil is in the details when it comes to the actual study as implemented
Charles Krauthammer on FCC Newsroom Study, "As If the IRS, & the EPA, and NLRB Haven't Done Enough Damage, the FCC Now Has to Trample on What Rights are Remaining."
Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer weighs in on the FCC 'Newsroom Study' that should make people cringe at the lengths that the Obama administration is going to trample on the rights of "We the People". Krauthammer said on 'Special Report' that these types of actions is what takes place in Moscow and Kiev, not the United States.
A proposed FCC study that would send government researchers and monitors into newsrooms to learn why organizations select to cover the stories that they do does not sit well with Charles Krauthammer. He said the government's stated "critical information need" for such a examination reminds him of something that would take place in Moscow and Kiev.
"As if the IRS, and the EPA, and NLRB haven't done enough damage, the FCC now has to trample on what rights are remaining."
Freedom of the Press? Not in an Obama World … The FCC Wants to Grill Reporters, Editors & News Station Owners About How They Decide Which Stories to Run
It would appear that Barack Obama wants to put government FCC monitors in America's news rooms to determine why media outlets cover certain stories. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! So now we are going to have government lackeys in news rooms to monitor and make sure that the media is covering the stories they want them to? Could Barack Obama and the Obama administration possible trample on the United States Constitution and Freedom of Speech any more?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
As reported at Mediaite, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal bringing people's attention to this study, saying "the government has no place pressuring media organizations into covering certain stories." And while participation is technically voluntary, ignoring them would not be a wise decision for any news outlet that wants an FCC license. We all know that the MSM is bias and pretty much in lockstep leans to the left, but it is not the governments job to interfere with what they report or how they report . "Participation is voluntary—in theory," supposedly; however, the FCC's questions, queries and interrogations may be hard for the broadcasters to ignore as it is this very government agency that could put a media outlet out of business if they spitefully withhold an FCC license. But of course the Obama administration has never gone after or targeted a specific group of people who opposed him, have they … IRS-GATE!

An Obama administration plan that would get researchers into newsrooms across the country is sparking concern among congressional Republicans and conservative groups.
The purpose of the proposed Federal Communications Commission study is to "identify and understand the critical information needs of the American public, with special emphasis on vulnerable-disadvantaged populations," according to the agency.
However, one agency commissioner, Ajit Pai, said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece Wednesday that the May 2013 proposal would allow researchers to "grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories to run."
He also said he feared the study might stifle the freedom of the press.
Who is Obama kidding?
This is just heinous as Obama uses the death of Daniel Pearl to make it appear that he is for Freedom of the Press
"Reminded us of how valuable a free press is."
"reminded us that there are those who would go to any leangth in order to silence journalists …"
"A well informed citizenry that is able to make choices and hold governments accountable …"
Obama says, "Clear out the press so that we can take some questions"
FCC Research Study can be read HERE (pdf)
Questions that the FCC poses in the study to news managers and staffers, including the following. Honestly, what business is it of the federal government?
- What is the news philosophy of the station?
- How do you define critical information that the community needs?
- Who decides which stories are covered?
- Have you ever suggested coverage of what you consider a story with critical information for your customers (viewers, listeners, readers) that was rejected by management?
Do we really wonder why, as opined by The Lonely Conservative, that the US has dropped to #46, just above Haiti, in press freedom in the world. Way to go Barack Obama!
Liberal & Obama Supporter Attorney Jonathan Turley Says Expansion of Barack Obama's Presidential Powers Threatens Liberty
Last night on 'The Kelly Files,' Jonathan Turley, a liberal Constitutional attorney and Obama supporter said a mouthful last night with regards to the imperial president, Barack Obama's "unilateral" and Unconstitutional actions. Turley stated, "I'm afraid this is beginning to border on a cult of personality for people on the left" and Well, you know, a system in which a single individual is allowed to rewrite legislation or ignore legislation is a system that borders on authoritarianism."
This is a must watch interview and remember, this is coming from a lib. Turley is basically describing … "TYRANNY".
Transcript from Real Clear Politics:
KELLY: Let me ask you about this because in that soundbite we played before we went to commercial, you said the framers would be horrified because everything they did was to create balance between the branches of government and we've lost that.
TURLEY: Well, I'm afraid it's quite serious because the framers created a system that was designed to avoid one principle thing, the concentration of power in any one branch. Because that balancing between these branches in this fixed orbit is what not only gives stability to our system but it protects us against authoritarian power, it protects civil liberties from abuse.
And what we've been seeing is the shift of gravity within that system in a very dangerous way that makes it unstable, and I think that's what the president is doing. I think that we've become a nation of enablers. We are turning a blind eye to a fundamental change in our system. I think many people will come to loathe that they remained silent during this period.
KELLY: We heard a lot of objections when President Bush expanded the powers of the presidency from the left and from the media. They haven't been raising the same objections now that we have a Democrat in The White House. And you say they do so at their own peril.
TURLEY: I'm afraid this is beginning to border on a cult of personality for people on the left. I happen to agree with many of President Obama's policies, but in our system it is often as important how you do something as what you do.
And I think that many people will look back at this period in history and see nothing but confusion as to why people remained so silent when the president asserted these types of unilateral actions. You have a president who is claiming the right to basically rewrite or ignore or negate federal laws. That is a dangerous thing. It has nothing to do with the policies; it has to do with politics.
KELLY: Why is it so dangerous? What' so bad that will come of this?
TURLEY: Well, you know, a system in which a single individual is allowed to rewrite legislation or ignore legislation is a system that borders on authoritarianism. I don't believe that we are that system yet. But we cannot ignore that we're beginning to ignore a system that is a pretense of democracy if a president is allowed to take a law and just simply say, 'I'm going to ignore this,' or, 'I'm going to shift funds that weren't appropriated by Congress into this area.'
The president's State of the Union indicated this type of unilateralism that he has adopted as a policy. Now, many people view that as somehow empowering. In my view, it's dangerous, that is what he is suggesting is to essentially put our system off line. This is not the first time that convenience has become the enemy of principle. But we've never seen it to this extent.
KELLY: What is supposed to be done about it? You know, I know in your testimony before Congress you cited Ben Franklin who believed that the other branches would work in their own self interest to try to reign in a president who got drunk on his own power, or however you want to put it. You know, Congress doesn't have — they can withdrawal money, they can move to impeach, they can file lawsuits –which they've done — I mean, what are they supposed to do?
TURLEY: Part of the problem really rests with the federal courts. For the last two decades, federal courts have been engaged in a policy of avoidance. They are not getting involved when the executive branch exceeds its powers, they're just leaving it up to the branches. And often they say Congress has the power of the purse, Congress can simply restrict funds.
But one of the complaints against President Obama is that very clearly dedicated funds in areas like healthcare, have been just shifted by the White House unilaterally to different areas. And the courts have adopted this avoidance policy.
I am astonished by the degree of passivity in Congress, particularly by Democrats. You know, I first came to Congress when I was a young page and there were people that fiercely believed in the institution. It didn't matter what party held the White House. But what we're seeing now is the usurpation of authority that's unprecedented in this country.
Barack Obama Shakes Hands with Cuban President Raul Castro … What's a Hand Shake Among Commie Friends?
This morning in Soweto, Johannesburg President Barack Obama shook hands with Cuban leader Raúl Castro at the memorial for the late President Nelson Mandel. Hmm, I am not quite sure why anyone is surprised, this is the man who has embraced America' enemies and made deals with them, bowed to Saudi princes and other foreign leaders, while treating our closest allies like dirt. What's in a hand shake? A lot.
But like I said, what is a handshake among communist comrades, water does seek its own level now, doesn't it? It would appear that Hot Air agrees as they opine, "One's a communist who's reduced his country to ruins, the other's Raul Castro".
But of course CNN was quick to defend and make excuses for Ovama's actions. Hmm, guess it was a good thing Adolf Hitler was not attending.
Obama knew, of course, that Castro would be on stage. But refusing to shake Castro's hand would not have been in keeping with Mandela's legacy of reconciliation. And it was not the first handshake between American-Cuban leaders. In 2000, at the United Nations, then-President Bill Clinton shook hands with Fidel Castro, the leader of the Cuban Revolution, its first revolutionary president, and Raul's brother.
Obama says he wants to improve relations with Cuba, but disagreements over human rights violations and other issues continue to keep the countries apart.
The handshake came before Obama's speech, in which he made remarks about reconciliation.
"It took a man like Madiba to free not just the prisoner, but the jailer as well – (applause) – to show that you must trust others so that they may trust you; to teach that reconciliation is not a matter of ignoring a cruel past, but a means of confronting it with inclusion and generosity and truth," Obama said.
The President also made sure to include a comment about freedom, which seemed directly aimed at dictatorial regimes.
Ukraine Protesters Tear Down Commie Lenin's Statue in Kiev … #ukraine
Hundreds of thousands of protesters in Ukraine took to the streets in another mass demonstration of anger against President Viktor F. Yanukovich's decision to break off negotiations with the European Union. They toppled the statue of Communist leader Lenin in a symbolic demonstration and then took a sledgehammer to it.
Public protests thundered into a full-throttle civil uprising in Ukraine on Sunday, as hundreds of thousands of protesters answered President Viktor F. Yanukovich's dismissiveness with their biggest rally so far, demanding that he and his government resign.
At the height of the unrest on Sunday night, a seething crowd toppled and smashed a statue of Lenin, the most prominent monument to the Communist leader in Kiev. The act was heavy with symbolism, underscoring the protesters' rage at Russia over its role in the events that first prompted the protests: Mr. Yanukovich's abrupt refusal to sign sweeping political and free-trade agreements with the European Union.
After an electrifying assembly in Independence Square in the center of Kiev, the main focus of the protests, the huge crowd surged across the capital, erecting barriers to block the streets around the presidential headquarters and pitching huge tents in strategic intersections. They were not challenged by the police, who have largely disengaged since their bloody crackdown on a group of protesters on Nov. 30 sharply increased outrage at the government.
Radio Free Europe was Live blogging the event.
Interestingly enough, as those in the Ukraine tear down the statue of Lenin, many think that US President Barack Obama is looking to erect it.

Extremely Brave (Or Loony) Man Plays Soccer With Lions
Soccer is the world's most popular sport. It's so popular even the animal kingdom is getting in on it.
Soccer is the world's most popular sport. It's so popular even the animal kingdom is getting in on it.
Animals are capable of many things. It turns out talking may be one of them.
Like Katy Perry, you're gonna hear this elephant roar.
Here's a pooch that needs some serious work on his catching skills.
Her owner is trying to teach her how to catch. It looked like they had a way to go before we finally see all the hard work and practice pay off
A potentially frightening scene on the roadway had an adorably happy ending for one little pup.
At least we know these little critters are eating well. On the heels of the wildly popular 'Tiny Hamster Eating Tiny Burritos' video comes this clip of a tiny hamster eating a tiny pizza.
This walrus is a real cad.
These are not your typical rock climbers.
Reunited! And it feels so good. A family that lost its dog after Hurricane Sandy was miraculously reunited with the pooch when it went to a a shelter looking to adopt a new animal.
There are animal lovers and then there's this guy.
This isn't the type of slick glovework you expect to see on the diamond.
Tiny hamsters. Tiny burritos. Huge cuteness.
Eating at a table for one no longer has to feel so lonely.
It ain't easy being a monkey on a TV show.
The old adage that dogs are man's best friend is put on display in this moving video.

Texas A&M offensive lineman Jake Matthews (Sr. 6-5 305) is the early frontrunner for the Outland.

The food was very good but it took us a while to get it. Not sure what the holdup was? Waiter never said. The calamari did not have a lot of taste - definitely had better at other places in Grand Cayman. We enjoyed the view - watching the boats come in and out of the Georgetown harbor area. Very accommodating as we changed our reservation last minute.

So the family and I decided to eat lunch at BJ's the other day. I was actually quite impressed with their guest tap and bottle list. Their own beers were mediocre though. Anyways, my wife ordered an anderson valley brother david and it showed up in a pint/shaker glass? Wtf? I've never seen a 9% beer served in a session glass like that. I'm not tryin to be a douche, but that's basically like serving a red wine in a pint glass.
Outside of brewpubs, and a handful of bars where they actually know what they're doing, most places don't know nor care about different beer glasses. Even if they have great beer lists, places with proper glasses are more an exception than the rule.
Heck you'll probably find the majority of homebrewers/beer geeks don't pay as much attention to it as you probably do. Heck I have all manner of different glasses, and most of the time I prefer my favorite pint glass or belgian snifter or even my favorite big pilsner glass for all my beers, regardless of what's proper.
Usually the only time I'll bother to use a "proper" glass, is if I'm reviewing a beer...But otherwise, whatever glass I'm in the mood for is the "proper" glass for me.
I would just be happy that BJ's had more than just BMC, then whether or not it's in the correct glass. Hell at least they didn't just bring you a bottle and you had to ask for a glass, like half the places on the planet.
It's just so not worth getting bent out of shape about. We beer geeks sometimes get so silly getting so worked up about inconsequential things....I just count myself lucky if anyplace has decent beers.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Yeah I was all bent out of shape. I called the 18 year old waiter over and shouted "You really expect my wife to drink this? This glass completely ruins the nose of the ester profile allowing the banana to take over while overshadowing the fig, clove, and candi-sugar, creating one unbalanced mess of a beer." She looked at me like I just escaped from a mental institution.
Okay that was total sarcasm, but could possibly be a story that would be commonplace in a wine bar. It may even been an acceptable complaint. I give BJ's credit, they have a WAY better beer selection than 99.999% of restaurant chains that i've ever seen in my life.
And Revvy, I absolutely agree with all of your thoughts. My general point was more that while we take some of these things for granted, the overwhelming majority of restaurants have absolutely no respect for or knowledge of beer. The only customers who would appreciate this sort of thing is the hardcore beer geeks, which is about .0000001% of the population, so it's not worth it. The general public doesn't aspire to learn about beer because there isn't a class/money/aspirational association with it as there is in the wine world.
I was in a beer geek bar (as in they cater to beer geeks), and the bartender there served me some 11% Belgian quad in monster hefeweizen glass. And it was happy hour, so I paid something like $5 for essentially 4 servings of that beer.
So I don't think the problem is limited to places like BJ's.
I got served raison d'etre in a shaker pint. it pisses you off at first, then you realize how much extra beer you're getting.
I don't care so much what kind of glass I get beer served in, but it really irritates me when I go there and have to request a glass. I mean, you serve all those beers on your list and you really think I want to drink orval out of a bottle? WTF.
I just think how often the chef actually understands what "rare" or "seared" really mean, applied to beef and fish respectively... The odds of getting the "correct" glass for beer? Forget about it.
And those are a couple of the many reasons why I almost never dine out anymore. Most just work there for a paycheck and tips, not to actually learn anything.

Hop Woo - Olympic & Sepulveda
- j
- jackt May 23, 2006 01:14 PM
Is this place any good? Or alternatives nearby would be appreciated. Sorry I tried using search but to no avail.
Link: http://suckyblog.com
re: Chandavkl
I think, a while back, I has a few dishes - especially the roast pork - that weren't very good.
Chandavkl, do you have any recommendations on what YOU like there? I pass it often, wishing it lived up to its promise of decent Westide Chinese BBQ.
re: Ciao Bob
I like the fish dishes. Didn't like the noodles.
re: Ciao Bob
I was stuck there one lunch and sat down at Hop Woo. Took awhile to get someone's attention. Ordered the shredded pork with garlic sauce as a lunch special. Hot'n'sour soup was pretty good. Entree portion was generous and tasty. It was a bit more expensive than Cheng Du on Pico between Barrington and Gateway, and not as tasty or friendly, but ok. Tables nearby seemed happier with roasted duck and chinese vege dishes, and they have a special for larger orders.
re: Chandavkl
What is bad off the menu? Every restaurant has it's bad and goods..... I'm interested in what to avoid.
from the last meal, the Pepper-Salt Fried Porkchop 椒鹽炸排骨 (P:jiao yan zha pai gu) wasn't very good.
Link: http://theabc.typepad.com/my_weblog/2...
its not too bad considering the competition it faces on the westisde (or lack thereof). lol. if i am in the mood for a quick cantonese meal and do not want to drive east, i usually go to hop woo.
bottomline......the food is good, but do not expect anything stellar.
Hop Woo is sort of a lower-rung Chinese place, including the one in Chinatown, which is pretty much the same as the Olympic one, so I don't understand why people keep posting that the Chinatown one is better. The food is heavy and tastes like it's been sitting around even if it was just cooked.
However, it's considered good for the westside. At least it's authentic.
There's also Hop Li on Pico by the westside pavilion; it's a little Americanized, but what ya gonna do.
For Northern Chinese, try Hu's Szechwan on National. Some of their dishes are really good, ie, cheng pi chicken, yu hsiang eggplant.
re: slacker
slacker, I disagree with your assessment of Hop Woo Chinatown. I've been to it 2x in the last 2 months and I've food to be very good. However, I would consider it lower rung... it's not clean enough for my standards.. nor does the cheesy tourist decor score any points. It setup to attract tourists but food is authentic and wonderfully good. The last two times, we ordered mostly off the wall (daily specials written in Chinese only) and have found the food to be exceptional....
for those interested, I've got a couple of reviews and pics in my blog.
Hop Woo Chinatown Visit 1
Hop Woo Chinatown Visit 2
I also have a 3rd post coming up, but it about the tourist and Chinese restaurant culture/operations aspect.....
Link: http://theabc.typepad.com/
re: Andy (美國土子)
I have been to Hop Woo in Chinatown too many times, not a mere twice in the last month kind of experience. Eat in and take out. It's the same bad heavy food as the Olympic one.
Just went to hop woo and got the salt and pepper squid, which was lousy. And the "chicken in black bean sauce and spice" which was mediocre. Damn. Hop Li is much more pleasing, if I can remember. Still, you should avoid chinese and go persian if you're in the neighborhood -- right?
I ordered "special beef fillet"and realized I was eating liver. The waiter and manager stonewalled when confronted, finally admitted "but beef filet is small meat"!!! Moreover, the sause, marked as spicy had no spice or heat whatever, and was just OK. Rockfish, I forget which one, was fresh and ample but the sauce was bland and disappointing.
I used to go all the time but I swear in the summer of 2007, they changed chefs or something. It was suddenly downhill. The change was a few months before they got shut down by the health department late last year.
Oh, here are some other nearby places.
HongKong cafe on sawtelle across Nijiya.
Lin's for a healthier Chinese on Pico just east of Barrington.
Cheng Du (or something like that) just a block east from Lin's on the same side of the street.
and like someone mentioned Hop Li and JR cafe.
this place is weirdo. only coz it doesn't completely suck figuring there is absolutely NO chinese food on the westside. but my history of it where it wasn't awful was when my aunt and uncle have gone with me and my family and spoke perfect dialect chinese to the waiters and we got good food. there won ton soup doesn't suck and the one other time i ate there and it wasn't bad was when i caught them all eating lunch noodle soup from the back and i asked them to give me what they were having. i dunno. go figure. i just choose not to eat chinese on the westside where i live. oh well.
With the demise of JR on Sta. Monica (replaced by Hop Li-- awful), Hop Woo is IMHO the best Cantonese Chinese restaurant on the Westside. The regular menu dishes are like what one will find in Chinatown in terms of quality and variety. But you can order off menu and get a superior meal. Ask the manager for suggestions. We had a very good Chinese NY banquet there, none of the dishes were from the menu and everyone was good. But for the life of me I can't remember what we had that night other than the entire table of picky eaters was happy. I do remember having a Tilapia jook there once that was quite good. Like I said... off menu.

Landon Donovan left off U.S. Soccer World Cup roster

Updated: May 22, 2014 5:51PM
STANFORD, Calif. — American career scoring leader Landon Donovan was among seven players cut Thursday as the United States announced its 23-man World Cup roster well before the June 2 deadline.
The 32-year-old attacker, who was bidding to make his fourth World Cup, was bypassed by U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann in favor of Aron Johannsson and Chris Wondolowski, who joined Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey as the forwards on the team.
Also cut were defenders Brad Evans, Clarence Goodson and Michael Parkhurst, midfielders Joe Corona and Maurice Edu, and forward Terrence Boyd.
Just 5-foot-8, Donovan has long been the biggest presence on the U.S. team. He has 57 goals in 156 international appearances — 21 more than Dempsey's second-place total — and has been the face of American soccer for the past decade, with the national team and with Major League Soccer, where he has won five titles.
Donovan was a mainstay of the national team before taking a sabbatical of about four months after the 2012 season, spending part of the time in Cambodia. Klinsmann had said Donovan would have to earn his spot back.
He restored Donovan to the roster for last summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup, at which Donovan excelled, and played Donovan in World Cup qualifiers later in the year. But Klinsmann kept him out of the starting lineup for last month's exhibition against Mexico, saying Donovan practiced poorly because of a knee problem.
Donovan said this week his knee was OK.
"I'm very confident in my abilities, and I think I'm deserving to be a part of the squad, but I have to prove that and I have to earn it," Donovan said Monday.
When Klinsmann announced his 30-man preliminary roster on May 12, he said he viewed Donovan more as a forward than a midfielder.
Teammates on the national team had said earlier they were counting on his presence.
"For me, it's a very easy equation: If Landon ís on the field, he's our top one or two players," goalkeeper Tim Howard said. "For me, he ís easily one of our best players, and he strikes fear in opponents."
But Donovan admitted he isn't the same player he used to be.
"I don't have that youthful energy and excitement that I did in 2002, but I see the game and I see the situation a lot more clearly now, so I'm able to I think enjoy it more in that way," Donovan said. "When you're younger, you're just sort of going crazy to do whatever it takes to make the team and you forget to enjoy it, And now I'm actually getting to enjoy it."
Donovan first became widely known in 1999, when he was voted the winner of the golden ball as the best player at the FIFA Under-17 World Championship — an award later won by Cesc Fabregas, Anderson and Toni Kroos. In a soccer world in which Americans have long been viewed as non-entities, Donovan's success was startling.
He was 18 when he scored against Mexico in his U.S. national team debut.
Along with Beasley, Donovan would have become the first American to play in four World Cups.
He spent most of his career at home instead of finding fame in Europe.
Stints at Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich were unsuccessful, but he starred with the San Jose Earthquakes from 2001-04 and the Los Angeles Galaxy since 2005, winning five Major League Soccer titles and tying Jeff Cunningham for the regular-season goals record at 134.
His stoppage-time goal against Les Fennecs at Pretoria's Loftus Versfeld was one of the iconic moments in American soccer, alongside Paul Caligiuri's 1989 long-range strike at Trinidad and Tobago that put the U.S. in its first World Cup in 40 years and Eric Wynalda's free kick against Switzerland in the 1994 World Cup.
