Chuck Hagel Forced To Step Down As US Defense Secretary – The Guardian
The US defense secretary has been fired after less than two years in office as the White House re-orders a national security strategy upended by the Islamic State (Isis).
Chuck Hagel, Barack Obama's third Pentagon chief and a former Republican senator, will leave the Department of Defense just weeks after his spokesman said Hagel was looking forward to serving "for the remainder" of the Obama administration.
Two senior administration officials told the Guardian on Monday that a New York Times report of his exit was "correct", and said more details would be announced shortly by the White House.
Obama is expected to confirm his defense secretary's departure in a "personnel announcement" scheduled in the State Dining Room at 11.10am ET. It was not clear if Obama would announce another change to his Iraq-Syria war strategy to correspond with Hagel's departure.
The first national security casualty of Obama's midterm elections defeat was one who, despite his Capitol Hill pedigree and Republican registration, never won the confidence of the congressional GOP, who considered him a water-carrier for the administration.
Before Obama's announcement, a senior administration official praised Hagel as "a steady hand," and said Hagel had been speaking with Obama in October about leaving "given the natural post-midterms transition time." Hagel's spokesman, Rear Admiral John Kirby, told Pentagon reporters on November 7 that Hagel expected to stay on.
Hagel was out of step with the administration on Isis, having urged the White House to clarify its stance on ushering Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad out of power and bizarrely inflating the threat Isis posed, calling it "an imminent threat to every interest we have" in an August press conference. While the administration has publicly ruled out using US ground forces in combat in Iraq, Hagel and particularly the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, floated precisely that as an option in testimony earlier this month.
A man who never quite found his footing as Pentagon chief, Hagel also testified that the US strategy against Isis – which focuses on Iraq primarily and Syria peripherally – was working, even as it undergoes frequent adjustment and revision.
Yet the strategy has come under criticism from hawks as well as doves. Hawks want a deeper US commitment of air as well as ground forces to beating Isis back, while doves are alarmed at the shifting of US war aims and commensurate resources. The next chairman of the Senate armed services committee, Arizona Republican John McCain, wants a more forceful US response to Isis and had long fallen out with his former friend Hagel.
In the five months since Isis seized Mosul, Obama has authorized 3,000 new troops to advise and train Iraqis, and expanded an air war into Syria. Pentagon efforts to field a Syrian proxy force have barely begun and are expected to take a year before yielding the first capable units.
Hagel, a Vietnam combat veteran and a non-commissioned army officer, was not expected to be a wartime defense secretary, instead brought in to manage the downsizing of US ground forces and shore up the administration's at-times uneasy relationship with the military. His Senate confirmation hearing saw the former senator rambling and unfocused; he mischaracterized the administration's position on Iran. Amongst Hagel's more forceful positions early in office was to warn against US involvement in the Syrian civil war.
Several oft-mentioned names to replace Hagel have already surfaced. Former defense policy chief Michele Flournoy, a figure deeply identified with the troop surge in Afghanistan, would be the first woman to run the Pentagon. The Times reported that Rhode Island Senate Democrat Jack Reed is in the running, as is Ashton Carter, a senior official noted for his management and budgetary skills who was Robert Gates' acquisitions chief and Leon Panetta's deputy secretary.
The senior official said a successor would be nominated in "short order" and Hagel will serve until his successor's confirmation.
How Many Lies Have Democrats Told To Sabotage The War On Terror? – David Horowitz
Start with Obama's claim that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (or ISIS) is not Islamic. Say what? In fact, the so-called war on terror is clearly a war that Islamic jihadists have declared on us. Yet Obama is so hostile to this war that even the subterfuge "war on terror" was too much for him and he purged it from official government statements and replaced it with "Overseas Contingency Operations," which describes nothing. Why would he do this? To avoid confronting the actual threat from what is obviously the most dynamic movement in Islam today: the jihadist war to purge the world of infidels and establish a global Islamic state. The same impulse to deny this threat can be seen in the Obama administration's characterization of domestic acts of Islamic terror like the recent beheading in Oklahoma and the Fort Hood massacre as "workplace violence."
The origin of the Democratic lies that fog the nature of the war against the Islamists and make us vulnerable to their attacks can be traced to the Democrats' defection from the war in Iraq, the second front in the so-called "war on terror." "Bush Lied People Died." This was the disgusting charge with which progressives and Democrats sought successfully to demonize America's commander-in-chief and demoralize the nation as it went to war to take down the terrorist-supporting monster regime of Saddam Hussein and eventually defeat Ansar-al-Islam and al-Qaeda in Iraq. In fact, Bush didn't lie about the reasons for taking on the terrorist regime in Iraq, as the Democrats claimed. Democrats, including senators John Kerry and Diane Feinstein sat on the intelligence committees and had access to every piece of data about Saddam Hussein's weapons and the reasons for going to war that George Bush did. If they had any doubts about these reasons all they had to do was pick up the phone to CIA director George Tenet – a Bill Clinton appointee – and ask him. The reprehensible claim that Bush lied was concocted by Democrats to justify their defection from a war they had just authorized betraying their country in time of war along with the young men and women they had sent into the battlefield.
The Democrats lied in claiming that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and that therefore the war was unnecessary and therefore immoral. This was actually two lies in one. In the first place the decision to go to war wasn't about Saddam's possession of weapons of mass destruction. It was about his determination to build and use weapons of mass destruction and his violation of 17 Security Council resolutions designed to stop him from doing just that. Saddam violated all 17 of the UN resolutions, beginning with those that constituted the Gulf War Truce and culminating in the ultimatum to disclose and destroy all his weapons of mass destruction. His defiance of that ultimatum is why we went to war with him.
But it was the second lie – that Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction – that the Democrats used to discredit the president and the war we were fighting. In fact, the Saddam regime did have weapons of mass destruction, including a chemical weapons storage plant recently discovered by ISIS along with 2200 rockets filled with deadly Sarin gas. Here's the report from the Daily News of July 9, 2014:
"A terrorist group bent on turning Iraq into an Islamic state has seized a chemical weapons depot near Baghdad stockpiled with sarin-filled rockets left over from the Saddam Hussein era… The site, about 35 miles southwest of Baghdad, was once operated by Saddam's army and is believed to contain 2,500 degraded rockets filled with potentially deadly sarin and mustard gas."
Not a single Democrat has apologized for the monstrous defamation campaign they conducted around this lie to cripple their president and their country in a time of war.
The Democrats began their sabotage campaign against the war in Iraq in June 2003, claiming that Bush lied when he cited a British report that Saddam was seeking fissionable uranium in Niger for his nuclear weapons program. Two official reports, one by the British and the other by the U.S. Senate confirmed that Bush's statement was correct, but this was long after the Democrats had so demonized America's commander-in-chief as a cynical and dangerous liar that his ability to mobilize American citizens to support the war against the Iraqi terrorists was severely damaged. No apologies from Democrats or the media, which abetted their lies, in this case either. Here is a recent testimony about the facts of Saddam's quest for fissionable yellow cake uranium:
"As someone who led the company that transported 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium – enough to make fourteen Hiroshima-size bombs – from Saddam's nuclear complex in the Iraq War's notorious 'Triangle of Death' for air shipment out of the country, I know Baathist Iraq's WMD potential existed."
Not content with these lies, the Democrats reached into their Marxist pocket for another. The progressive slogan "No Blood For Oil" was a maliciously false claim designed to undermine the moral basis for the war by accusing President Bush of serving the interests of his Texas oil cronies beginning with Vice President Cheney, former president of Halliburton, instead of the American people. In the Democrats' telling, evil corporations in the Republicans' pocket pushed the country into a needless and "imperialist" war that cost thousands of American and Iraqi lives. But the fact is that despite spending trillions of dollars on a war that cost thousands of American lives, America got no oil out of the war in Iraq, which has wound up in the hands of ISIS terrorists and the People's Republic of China. No apologies for this myth either.
Perhaps the most destructive lie that Democrats have used to sabotage the war against the Islamist fanatics is that fighting terrorists creates more of them. Nancy Pelosi actually told 60 Minutes' Steve Croft that if America left Iraq the terrorists would leave too. The argument has been used by progressives to oppose a serious military effort to stop ISIS in Syria and Iraq rather than having to fight them here at home. But aggressive pre-emptive war against the terrorists in their homelands rather than ours has the opposite effect as the victory in Iraq showed before Obama undid it.
The six-year retreat of the Obama Administration from the battlefields in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and appeasement of the terrorist state of Iran, has created more terrorists than we have ever seen. The weakness displayed by the chief defender of freedom under the leadership of an anti-American president has been a provocation to terrorists. The terror threat diminished under Bush but has grown dramatically under Obama. That is because fighting terrorists does not produce them. ISIS is able to recruit thousands of new terrorists because Islamist radicals are inspired by what Osama bin Laden called "the strong horse," by beheadings and the slaughter of Christians without a serious reprisal. This is the face of the evil that confronts us, and we better wake up to that threat before it is too late.
Obama: Illegal Alien Wife Beaters Who Claim To Have An Abusive Childhood… Can Stay – Universal Free Press
A recent Department of Homeland Security (DHS) internal memo has revealed a new policy, which will allow untold numbers of illegal aliens who have been convicted of domestic violence to avoid deportation. The measure is part of Obama's 'executive order amnesty.'
On Nov. 20, DHS chief Jeh Johnson issued the memo, entitled "Policies for the Apprehension, Detention and Removal of Undocumented Immigrants," which among other items, classifies illegal aliens with domestic violence convictions as "Priority 2″ offenders.
The memo states:
"Aliens described in this priority , who are also not described in Priority 1, represent the second-highest priority for apprehension and removal. Resources should be dedicated accordingly to the removal of the following: aliens convicted of a "significant misdemeanor," which for these purposes is an offense of domestic violence…"
However, a footnote to the paragraph reads:
"ln evaluating whether the offense is a significant misdemeanor involving …domestic violence," careful consideration should be given to whether the convicted alien was also the victim of domestic violence; if so, this should be a mitigating factor."
In other words… he gets to stay!
So, if an illegal alien is convicted of domestic violence for beating his girlfriend or wife, he can simply claim that he was once a victim of abuse as well, and he can continue to live his life in what is becoming a lawless nation.
This is yet another ploy by a criminal president to allow criminal aliens to stay in the country.
Koskinen Lied: 30,000 Lois Lerner Emails Recovered By IRS Inspector General – Gateway Pundit
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform on March 26, 2014. Koskinen told Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) during the hearing that Loise Lerner's emails were archived and it would take a long time to retrieve them.
In June the IRS told Congress Lois Lerner's emails were lost in a computer crash.
There were audible gasps in the room on June 20,2014, when IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress that Lerner's hard drive was tossed out. Koskinen testified before the House Ways and Means Committee on the IRS conservative targeting scandal.
Via OutNumbered:
But Lois Lerner's emails were not lost as was reported. All of her emails were backed up by the federal government.
And 30,000 of her emails have been recovered.
Fox News reported:
Federal investigators have told Congress that they have recovered data that may include lost emails from one of the pivotal figures in the controversy over the Internal Revenue Service's treatment of tea party groups, congressional aides said Friday.
Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Republicans who run the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said the investigators said at a staff briefing Friday that they have recovered up to 30,000 emails to and from Lois Lerner.
A statement from Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee was more measured. It said the investigators have recovered data that may include Lerner emails.
The investigators were from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which audits the IRS. A spokeswoman for the inspector general, Karen Kraushaar, declined to comment, saying the investigation was continuing.
The investigators ignited a political firestorm in May 2013 with a report saying that IRS agents had given exceptionally close scrutiny to tea party and other conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status.

"It was just a chain reaction," Sereno said.

Plastic $20 bills aren't scanning
Vending-machine owners blame bank
OTTAWA -- Thousands of vending machines still can't digest those plastic $20 bank notes the government released two months ago, with machine owners blaming the Bank of Canada for their problems.
As many as a half-million machines that scan bank notes needed reprogramming to accept the radically redesigned $20 bills, the most popular denomination in Canada.
Some 145 million polymer $20 notes have been put into circulation since Nov. 7, one of a series of new plastic notes intended to thwart counterfeiters and last much longer than their paper-cotton predecessors.
Kim Lockie has been converting his 1,200 machines in Fort McMurray, Alta., full-time for two months, but still has about 300 to go.
His unconverted machines, which dispense chips, candy, ice cream and even over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, are frustrating customers who can't use their crisp, new bills.
"I would think less than half the machines in Canada would accept this bill right now," said Lockie, the industry's point man for the conversion project as an official of the Canadian Automatic Merchandising Association.
"As a small business, I am losing money."
Lockie blames the Bank of Canada for failing to heed three years of warnings from owners that they needed a long lead time to recalibrate their vending machines before the official release of the new bills.
"The Bank of Canada didn't really even talk to us in the last three years," he said in an interview. "It seems like they have no desire to work with us... Tough luck for our industry."
Sabbir Kabir, a Toronto-based official of the Canadian National Vending Alliance, says his members, representing the nine biggest vending-machine operators, also report they were not given enough lead time to convert their scanners.
"The customer gets upset very easily and he's not going to come back," he said of the potential losses to the $5-billion-a-year industry.
The Bank of Canada rejects the criticisms, saying its officials have worked closely with the sector, providing vending-equipment manufacturers with sample bills months before the official release so they could create the right software.
"For the $20 note, these final notes were made available in May of 2012, fully six months before the notes were issued into circulation in November 2012," said spokesman Jeremy Harrison. "Eighty-five companies took advantage of the bank's offer, representing the vast majority of equipment manufacturers and suppliers to the Canadian market."
Harrison notes the six-month lead time was twice as long as for the previous series of newly designed bills, the so-called Journey notes released in 2004.
"In short, the bank has worked hard to help ensure that note-handling equipment is ready for the new notes," he said.
Each vending machine or other device that processes bank notes, such as self-serve checkouts, parking-permit dispensers and even ATMs, can require up to 15 minutes of on-site reprogramming by a technician using a laptop.
The labour-intensive process is costly, time-consuming and follows weeks or months of software development, testing and training by manufacturers and service providers.
Lockie's group had asked the Bank of Canada to release its new plastic $5 and $10 bills at the same time as the $20s to allow for a single recalibration visit to each machine. But the bank decided to issue the two lower denominations simultaneously later this year, forcing vending-machine owners to plan another round of site visits in 2013, absorbing the costs.
Kabir said some manufacturers were caught off guard when the Bank of Canada issued slightly different versions of the new $20 bank notes. The entire image is offset in one version -- the Queen's chin is marginally higher, for example -- which can foil automatic scanners programmed to expect the non-offset version.

Conrad Black on Russia's disruptive role in global affairs
In late October of this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, delivered major foreign policy addresses. Their principal message: the West has to stop acting unilaterally and start taking Russian security and other interests into account.
Invade your neighbours? Bully smaller, weaker countries? Use your military as an intimidation force? Yeah, whatever, Vlad. Just don't mess with our social media and 500 channels. Because then you'd be in real trouble.
Though it has fallen off the front pages in recent weeks, the fighting in Kobani, a Syrian town on the Turkish border, has never let up.
Australian intelligence has detected a task force of Russian warships approaching Australia's coast. Two large, powerful Russian warships are due to arrive off of Brisbane just in time for the G20 summit there to begin.
If Russian and NATO forces bump and someone, on either side, starts shooting, it is entirely possible that a minor incident could flare up into an honest-to-goodness battle before higher command authorities on either side can calm things down. This is how wars start ... and both sides are packing nuclear heat.

Daniel Melville contacted Joel Gibbard after seeing his appeal for funding help to develop affordable robotic hands. He offered to help Mr Gibbard test his products and the new hand was created within two days at a cost of just £300. The inventors have just returned from the US where they won a $200,000 prize to help develop the technology in a commercial way.

Michael Clayton Movie Review
And then there is Michael Clayton, a gripping and complicated thriller with hush-hush undertones that would fit comfortably alongside similar films from the 1970s -- think of Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation or Alan J. Pakula The Parallax View, because Clayton writer-director Tony Gilroy certainly had pictures of this fabric in mind.
The suspicious Clayton moves like a '70s picture but has roots in modern industrial problems such as corporate deception and greed. Attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) leads the defense team in a $3 billion class-action suit filed against U/North. The company is being sued by salt-of-the-earth farmers because of a germ killer U/North used despite knowing it was hazardous to people's health. Pay little attention to the details, though, because this plot is one of the largest MacGuffins we've seen in years. The story is about the lawsuit without really being about the lawsuit, if that makes sense. The picture, after all, isn't titled U/North, right?
No, Gilroy chose Michael Clayton because his script eventually focuses on the man (Clooney), a legal fixer and B.S. filter for corporate law firm Kenner, Bach & Ledeen. His weight is felt when Edens' guilty conscience catapults him over the edge of sanity. Edens obtained documents proving U/North knew of the chemical's harmful effects, but buried the findings to continue turning profit. Now Edens wants to blow a few whistles, and the higher-ups and Kenner, Bach & Ledeen assign Clayton to ensure that doesn't happen.
As a writer, Gilroy adequately balanced tension and plot in three Bourne movies and Proof of Life. His iron-clad Clayton script improves his storytelling skills. He has a solid grasp on a muddy morality mess -- not an easy task. This multi-layered character study requires audience patience as it constructs the tiers, but rewards us with surprising discoveries. Clooney and Gilroy keep character details in the shadows. They both comprehend when and where to shine a metaphorical light, though, unraveling the plot and revealing another piece to this complicated individual.
Directorially, Gilroy shows us the sweat that paranoia can produce. His tightly paced film teeters along the proverbial razor's edge between doing what's moral and what is beneficial. Clayton has been doing the latter for so long, he's not sure he remembers how to do the former. Gilroy also has a good eye for shots that say more than what is initially implied.
These morally ambiguous characters seem to attract Clooney. He's at his best wallowing in the gray area between noble and devious. Even his highest-profile roles fit the mold, from well-intentioned con artist Danny Ocean to crime fighter Batman and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne.
Clooney gets great support from his co-stars. When not producing and directing, Sydney Pollack remains capable of dramatic potency as an actor. He is excellent as Marty Bach, a partner in Clayton's firm and a man who has grown weary putting out fires. Wilkinson can work up a frenzy, but he also musters compassion for his emotionally scarred lawyer. And Swinton, the opposite end of the spectrum, is as cold and clinical as the picture needs her to be. In one pivotal scene, Swinton can be seen rehearsing the lies she will give in an interview. Gilroy helps blur the line between fiction and fact by interspersing her practiced speech with the actual media cross-examination. It's one of those crisp interactions Gilroy uses throughout his excellent film to wring deeper meaning out of what could have been a simple scene.
Swinton peruses her copy of If I Did It.

Hi Community Support!
I couldn't find coupon quality guidelines on the RetailMeNot site and had something I wanted to bring to your attention.
A user is posting MULTIPLE affiliate tracking-enabled coupon codes on the Green Smoke page and then using a IP-Address changing software to downvote all the other coupons and UPVOTE his affiliate coupons.
For example any coupon code containing "quarter4" or "RAD" will credit the affiliate 20% off the sale amount. And the Green Smoke coupon system is setup to allow "quarter4-{ANY-VALUE-HERE}" BUT will only credit the ONE person who keeps posting these quarter4 and RAD coupons here: http://www.rmn.com/view/greensmoke.com
Like I said earlier, this person is posting multiple coupon similar coupon codes then upvoting their coupons using different IP addresses and DOWN-VOTING all the other coupons?

Tom Piccirilli
From the Tom Piccirilli Facebook page……….
Since Tom has been cancer free for two years now, I would like to try to thank all the people who helped us pay medical bills, chemo treatments and radiation. If you donated to the Indiagogo campaign started by Tom's niece Shannon or sent money through Paypal. It doesn't matter how much you contributed, you helped us immensely. If you went into a bookstore or got online and bought one of Tom's books, we thank you. If you took time off of work and hopped on a plane to come visit Tom, I will remember each one of you in my heart forever. You know who you are. It was like having angels come to our door (Yes, I called you angels!). To everyone who waited all night with me (we had quite a group) while Tom was in the operating room, you held me up when the weight of the world was crushing me. For all the amazing prayers, good wishes, positive energy, lovely cards and beautiful letters, we thank you. To David Niall Wilson at Crossroad Press who went above and beyond. To Sinister Grin Press, Brian Keene, Edward Lee, Jack Ketchum, Bryan Smith, J.F. Gonzalez, Wrath James White, Nate Southard, Ryan Harding, and Shane McKenzie , everyone involved with the editing, art and publishing of SIXTY-FIVE STIRRUP IRON ROAD, You guys are amazing! And thank you to everyone who purchased this wild book. To some close friends in the business (you know who you are and we love you too!) who privately mailed checks, movies, DVD player, comics and books and to the people we have never met who sent checks, may that Karma come back to you tenfold. To Paul Fry for the amazing issue of Beware the Dark that he dedicated to Tom and to all the writers who made it so wonderful, thank you. To the other publishers, such as Random House (and Matt Schwartz) and magazines who made donations, thank you so much. It was a tough time and I can't remember all of you by name but I remember your kindness. To people who made Tom gifts, you are amazing. So many people would contact us with a gift or small check and say that they wished they could do more. To you I want to say: YOU PREFORMED MIRACLES. There is no such thing as small kindnesses. To the people who emailed me helpful advice when we were constantly denied Medicaid and to those who contacted me with information about organizations that help writers when they are ill, you all made a huge difference. And if you took time out of your busy day to hope that Tom was doing better, thank you. Tom is superman but all of you are heroes. Thank you for helping to save him. xxoo, Michelle
P.S.look for a similar post next year and the year after and the year after…

MPFFU Headlines
Update - ACTION Still Needed on SB 211 Cancer Presumption!!
On November 13th, the House Insurance Committee took testimony on our cancer presumption bill (SB 211).
Chris Slezak (Local 1557, Sterling Hgts) and Chris Weber (Local 421, Lansing) as well as myself, testified on why this bill needs to be passed.
Both Chris and Eric did a great job and we all owe them a debt of gratitude for bringing their personal story of how Cancer has impacted their lives to this fight.
They both have experienced many hardships and sadly neither one will benefit from this bill if it is passed into law. But they do this to ensure that their brothers and sisters don't have to face the same challenges as they did.
Michigan Municipal League (MML) testified also, but this time stated that they are neutral on the bill. This is good news as they have always opposed it in the past.
The committee didn't vote on the bill, but that was expected. The legislature is on break for the next couple weeks so we hope to have another hearing the first week of December and get a vote at that time. If it is passed out of committee, we will then have one week to get a vote on the floor of the House or the bill will die.
Please contact your State Representative and ask them to support SB 211. We are VERY close on this bill. Which we have been fighting to get for over 10 years now.
Let's make this happen!!!
We have an excellent opportunity to move our Cancer Presumption Legislation out of committee and on to the House floor but we need your help. Read more:

The MPFFU has worked very hard to get this bill passed for the last three years since PA 54 was first put in place. It is only the second Pro-labor bill that has been passed in the last four years under this Republican controlled legislature. The first pro labor bill that was passed was our bill which expanded binding arbitration rights to Fire Authorities and Districts. Another big win for firefighters in this state.

After recently announcing that she was going to a Norwegian court to appeal drug possession charges from last year, Amy Winehouse has decided to let the charges stand.
As previously reported by SOHH, the embattled multi-platinum selling singer was set to appeal a $430 fine next week for allegedly carrying seven grams of marijuana.
Taken by authorities alongside her hairdresser and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil while in Bergen, Norway, Winehouse was reportedly upset at being forced to pay the required fine before being released.
Her Norwegian attorney alleges Winehouse's denied United States entry last year for the annual Grammy Awards ceremony was the result of the fee, which represented a guilty plea.
However, Winehouse's lawyer has now confirmed with the Associated Press that his client is withdrawing from the case.
"After a careful review of the whole matter, they decided to drop the appeal," attorney Ole Kvelstad said by telephone. He refused to give reasons for the decision to withdraw the appeal.
Police Prosecutor Rudolf Christoffersen confirmed the two had withdrawn the appeals and would not have to appear in court.
"That means the fines stand," he said on the TV-2 network.
Despite the case now being close, Singersroom reports that people familiar with the artist believe her decision may have a negative effect down the road.
Sources close to the case say Winehouse's guilty plea may effect her ability to perform in the United States should she choose to do so in the future.
Winehouse is currently in the midst of preparing her follow-up album to her Grammy-winning 2006 album, Back To Black.

Support for Nagaland Tribal Council
The creation of NTC should not have attracted so much brouhaha, since it is within the prerogative enjoyed by every tribe to come together and form a larger platform where we can meet and discuss issues of mutual interest. It is not an organisation created to destroy another organisation but in fact, judging from the statements of the leaders of the NTC, it is created to supplement all the existing Naga organisations in their purpose to protect the interest and rights of the Naga people across Nagaland State and particularly the people of the State of Nagaland. The issue of whether the existing Naga organisations did anything worthwhile for the cause of the Naga people and the people of the state of Nagaland is matter of intellectual debate. I have my justifications whether I say that they did or they did not. The points highlighted by our respected Thepfulhouvi Solo are surely valid and needs deep pondering upon by the different organisations mentioned by him. They also should admit that in some way or at some point of time they had failed the Naga people of Nagaland state. We the common people had been suffering for so long, groaning under the yoke of our own brothers, where were these organisations to lift up this unjustified yoke? The creation of ACAUT is a welcome development, but don't you think this should have been done long time back? Also it should have been under the aegis of the Naga Hoho, which is the apex of all the Naga organisations and it would have carried more weight and its reach would have wide spread. We have our own kith and kins who are unemployed and at the same time do not posses enough capital to start self employment. Now should I think of my own immediate kith and kin or my distant kith and kin. I believe no one would condemn me just because I have given priority to my own kith and kin who are in need. In the same manner what the NTC is planning to do I believe is to serve the interest of the Nagas of Nagaland State first, since we have so many needy people in our own land to take care of. Let us not bicker but come together and work together. There may be hundreds of organisations within the state, but it doesn't matter as long as there is mutual understanding and cooperation between us. Personally I feel the more organisation exist the better for us Nagas because we will have better opportunity to express our interest and also platforms to represent them.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Chimalpopoca (disambiguation).
Chimalpopoca is identified by some sources as a son of the Tlatoani Moctezuma II, not be confused with an earlier Aztec ruler of the same name. According to some authors he was taken out of Tenochtitlan as a prisoner with other noble men by the Spaniards in the Noche Triste. Chimalpopoca is the son of Tlatoani Acamapichtli and the brother of Huitzilihuitl. He was born 1480 in Mexico City.

Samson Oil & Gas Limited (ASX: SSN)(NYSE MKT: SSN) provides an advisory. North Stockyard Oilfield, Williston Basin, North Dakota Samson has owned an equity position in the North Stockyard Oilfield for several years and has participated in the drilling of six Bakken Formation wells along with a Mission Canyon Formation well. The six Section area, (three Sections are designated as the Northern Tier, and three Sections the Southern Tier) has been developed with a 640 acre spacing utilizing 5,000 foot laterals. Standard industry practice has evolved and the norm is to develop the Middle Bakken and the First bench of the Three Forks Formation at 160 acre spacing. Samson has been keen to develop the North Stockyard field to this drilling density; however, several of the other working interest owners in the field, including the Operator, do not wish to accelerate the development of this field at the optimal acreage spacing. As a consequence, Samson and the Operator group have negotiated an acreage swap for the Middle Bakken/First Bench of the Three Forks (MB/TF), whereby Samson will acquire these parties' undeveloped acres in the Northern Tier and will divest undeveloped acres in the Southern Tier. After the swap, Samson will own 64% and 57%, respectively, in the two overlapping 1,280 acre spacing units located in the Northern Tier. Samson will become Operator for the entire Northern Tier. Samson will retain its existing equity in the seven producing wells and the deeper benches of the Three Forks in both the Northern Tier and the Southern Tier. The formal agreement documenting the swap has been completed and was executed by Samson and the Operator today. Samson has appeared in front of the North Dakota Industrial Commission (NDIC) and requested a 160 acre spacing order in the Northern Tier. Samson expects that this request, which was unopposed, will be approved and that the NDIC will consent to the drilling permits that have already been lodged. This administrative step will then allow Samson to drill an additional 14 wells in the Northern Tier to develop the MB/TF to a 160 acre spacing. Proved Developed Producing Reserves (PDP) The PDP reserve of the North Stockyard Oilfield have been assessed by Ryder Scott as at June 30 2012, at a gross EUR of 1.8 MMSTB valued at $7.5 million net to Samson using the NYMEX forward curve as at June 30th. Representing $86 per barrel for the second half of 2012, $88 for 2013, $87 for 2014 and 2015, $86 for 2016, and thereafter. Probable Reserves Samson has completed an internal estimate that suggests the MB/TF in the Northern Tier will recover a gross EUR of 7.1 MMSTB (net 3.4 MMSTB) valued at $42.4 million net to Samson. Given the administrative status of these wells, these reserves are currently classed as Probable. At such time as the NDIC approves the requested spacing order the designation of these reserves is expected to move from Probable to Proved Undeveloped. Samson has also completed an estimate of the Probable Reserves of the deeper Three Fork Benches (TF) and has estimated that these Probable Reserves, at a gross EUR of 24.5 MMSTB (net 6.1 MMSTB), valued at a $49.8 million net to Samson. These estimates are set out in the following table:
NPV is calculated at a 10% discount rate, using $80 per barrel for Bakken crude. Development Plan Samson is planning to mobilize the Frontier Rig 24 to the North Stockyard Field early in 2013 to drill an initial 6 development wells. These wells will be drilled from two pads utilizing the skiddable platform available on Frontier 24. As previously advised, Samson contracted for the use of this new build rig for an 18 month period at a contract cost of $14.2 million, although the drilling rig contract, as amended, caps the liability for cancellation during the term at $5 million. The development wells are designed as 5,000 horizontals in either the Middle Bakken or the First Bench of the Three Forks. The wells will be "batched" drilled which are expected to result in considerable cost savings. Samson has the majority equity in a recently completed Salt Water Disposal well in the Northern Tier, as well as a water disposal pipeline system, that will be utilized to dispose of the water produced from the development wells in an economic manner. Existing gas gathering infrastructure is also already in place. Samson therefore expects that a relatively high net return will be extracted from the development of the Northern Tier. Samson's ability to complete the development plan is contingent on its completion of a planned debt financing or another capital raising program. South Prairie 3-D Project, Williston Basin, North Dakota (SSN 25% WI) Acquisition of the South Prairie 3-D seismic survey has been completed as planned and the initial processed seismic data was received on schedule in early December. That seismic data is currently in the process of being mapped and evaluated. Samson has a 25% working interest in 23,879 net acres within the South Prairie 3-D survey. Potential reservoirs include the Mississippian Mission Canyon Formation and the Devonian Nisku Formation. After the 3-D data has been evaluated, the first well is planned for the 1st quarter of 2013. As previously disclosed, the leads identified on the existing 2-D seismic data appear to be similar to the oil field immediately adjacent to the north of the project area. Wells in this other field have demonstrated recoveries of between 260,000 and 450,000 barrels of oil for wells drilled at the crest of the structure. Additional Mission Canyon fields along trend have demonstrated that some wells can recover as much as 900,000 barrels of oil per well when located on the crest of the structure. The 3-D seismic is expected to deliver excellent structural control, such that the wells can similarly be located at the crest of any structures. Given that the wells are presently expected to be drilled for approximately $1.1 million, Samson believes that the return on its investment will be attractive. Samson's Ordinary Shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol "SSN." Samson's American Depository Shares (ADSs) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange MKT under the symbol "SSN." Each ADS represents 20 fully paid Ordinary Shares of Samson. Samson has a total of 1,996 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding (including 231 million options exercisable prior to December 31 2012, at AUD 1.5 cents). As at December 28th, total issued ordinary shares was 1,908 million (equivalent to 95.4 million ADSs) and 88 million outstanding 1.5 cent options. Accordingly, based on the NYSE MKT closing price of US$0.645 per ADS on December 28th, 2012 the Company has a current market capitalization of approximately US$62 million. (Excluding the value of the outstanding options) Correspondingly, based on the ASX closing price of A$0.031 on December 28th, 2012, the Company has a current market capitalization of A$59 million (Excluding the value of the outstanding options).
