The airplane behind the "Miracle on the Hudson" landing is making its way south.
The Airbus A320 was loaded on a giant trailer in New Jersey earlier today.
It's being driven to the Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina for an exhibit set to open in January.
The plane had been in storage in New Jersey ever since it was pulled from the water.
Captain Chesley Sullenberger was forced to land on the Hudson River after birds struck both engines shortly after takeoff.
All 155 people on board Flight 1549 survived.
"Sully" and many of the survivors are scheduled to attend a reception in Charlotte after the plane arrives.

Flutter Valve Mucus Removal Device Description
Flutter Valve Mucus Removal Device is for sale and available from our online store. VitalityMedical.com is the place to purchase
Axcan Scandipharm Cough Assist.
Flutter Valve device is used for Breathing Therapy by helping patients dislodge mucus and other secretions from the airways. The Flutter mucus clearance device is highly portable and easy to use. This Flutter Valve is also known as the Acapella Flutter Valve because of its three action mechanisms. First, the Flutter device aides in the removal of mucus and other secretions. Second, the Flutter valve provides a positive expiratory pressure (PEP), which helps hold airways open. Third and last is airway oscillation. Flutter valve therapy helps vibrate mucus away from airway walls and produces an intermittent acceleration flow. This acceleration helps push mucus upward for expectoration; thereby, clearing the air passage ways.
The Cough Assist Flutter device is shaped like a pipe and has a hardened plastic mouthpiece at one end, a perforated plastic cover at the other end and a stainless steel ball resting in a plastic circular cone on the inside. The Flutter Mucus Deviceserves patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as asthma, atelectasis, bronchitis, brochiectasis, cystic fibrosis, or other conditions producing retained secretions.
Flutter Valve PEP Video (2:08 minutes)
Flutter Valve Clearance Device
The Flutter mucus clearing device operates by having the patient blow into the mouthpiece. The vibrations caused by intermittent air flow though the flutter chamber loosens mucus and secretions for the patient. This positive expiratory pressure helps the patient expel mucus and phlegm. The flutter action is caused by the vibrating steel ball within the flutter chamber, causing a non-invasive airway oscillation.
The Flutter mucus clearance device can be used by any age. Its small size and weight allows the patient to take it with them where ever they go.

The Best Flutter Valve Mucus Removal Device I've Used
As an ICU nurse, I usually perform procedures to clear the airways of my patients. Given all the equipment I have made use of to aid in the procedure, this mucus removal device is the best because it's easy to utilize. It is very efficient in removing the mucus in my patient's airways. Thus, this is the best for me.By: Camilla | (Posted on 4/6/11)4 Helpful|0 Not Helpful
Flutter Valve Mucus Removal Device Review
I carry this wherever I go. I have severe asthma and phlegm and mucus has been a problem ever since. Which is an issue because I work at an office, with little or no time to go to the washroom. This is very handy for me and it really is very easy to use as it claims.By: Mike Brown | (Posted on 4/12/11)3 Helpful|0 Not Helpful

small enough to keep on you and works great to get up the mucusBy: Steve | (Posted on 6/12/11)2 Helpful|0 Not Helpful
It's small and simple and surprisingly effective. It's extremely helpful in dislodging the mucus from the lungs, and with a few simple blows, the mucus begins to come up and out. It's a lifesaver.By: m2 mom | (Posted on 7/26/11)2 Helpful|0 Not Helpful

Lovely gravy mix to dress up leftover cooked roast beef. Not a heavy gravy, just a little something to moisten the meat and drizzle over mashed potatoes. Knorr makes the best sauces and gravies, and this one is perfect for using up your leftovers in a very tasty way. Highly recommend.

Sealand seeks satellite and movie deals
That tiny speck of sovereign delusion known as Sealand will finally reclaim its former glory as a platform for pirate radio, the fantastical micronation hinted this week on its website, and Mike Newell, of Donnie Brasco fame, has agreed to direct a movie based on those very same pirate radio origins. Full circle, and to a …
Nice but...
Even if they do get their independant deal, I would hazard a guess that the residents of any country accessing "dodgy" content held on said soverign nations servers could expect the fuzz to be breaking down the door forthwith. It just means that the Navy turning up and trying to remove these servers could 'theoretically' be accused of starting a war. They should try and join the UN.
If they are for sale for 8 figures
And they are such a problem to Great Britain, why don't they just shell out the 10 - 99 million £ or $, evict the current tenants and lob a nice not so smart bomb at the place and be done with it.
Heck, here in Ontario, Canada our provincial government dropped $12M to start negotiating with the local Natives over a land dispute. They effectively paid a land developer $12M to walk away and leave the situation unchanged.
Open for invasion!
Somehow I don't see the members of the U.N. Security Council approving the economic sanctions called for by the Sealand government in exile.
Just get an expert to testify that their possession of the latest Die Hard movie is direct evidence of an advanced cyber-terrorism program. Invent a few scary James Bond-ish nicknames for the IT staff, "Fire-Sale Fred", "Dr DDOS".
If somehow that doesn't seem like sufficient pretext for invasion, you can leaked reports about an attempted purchase of "yellow cake" (based perhaps on expert analysis of an intercepted grocery list detailing negotiations with an international arms deals known only as "Little Debbie") as evidence of a nuclear weapons program.
More power to them.

Place of Birth

The belief within the industry is that Evan Bourne is hoping to make a return to WWE some day. He recently did a shoot interview, but the video was rather tame. He did not reveal too many secrets, and he did not show a ton of animosity towards the company. If Bourne can show that he can stay sober and injury free, then WWE might be willing to give him another chance since he did have a little bit of a fan base.
August 15, 2014
While doing a shoot interview, Evan Bourne revealed some details about a backstage fight that took place between Big Show and Great Khali. He stated that it took place in 2009 while WWE was doing a live event in Puerto Rico. He did not reveal what the fight was about, but Bourne did state that Show threw the first punch. Khali was able to block it, and the two fell to the ground. Khali mounted Show and slapped him a few times before others stopped it.

While there are still some questions whether or not this is a shoot or a story line, Tommy Dreamer is telling fans that he might be done with TNA as a backstage agent after an incident where he bashed Dixie Carter for removing Bully Ray at the last minute from his House of Hardcore show. His departure has not been confirmed yet, and many are still under the belief that this is an elaborate work.
June 11, 2014
Rumors are heavily floating around right now that TNA and House of Hardcore are working together. When Tommy Dreamer cut what seemed to be a shoot interview about Dixie Carter pulling Bully Ray from his show, some felt that it was out of character for Dreamer to do that, as he is viewed as one of the more respectful guys in the industry. Plus, Dreamer himself has a working relationship with TNA already, so it would not be hard to fathom that he would align his company with Carter.

The rocky relationship between Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon is apparently back on bad terms again. WWE officials are said to be quite upset with the former United States Heavyweight Champion for comments that he made about Legends House during promotional events. Piper, who is no stranger to backstage heat over the years, also made some derogatory comments towards Pat Patterson during a shoot interview recently.
May 30, 2014
A couple of years back, fans witnessed a real life shoot incident in the ring between JBL and the Blue Meanie. Some blood was involved. Apparently, the two of them have resolved their issues since then, as JBL took to Twitter to wish the Blue Meanie a happy birthday. The former WWE stars appear to be quite cordial with one another now.
May 20, 2014
"For relevant reasons. Once in a while you'll shoot texts back and forth with somebody, or if there's some business thing going on, like if they need something signed or a scan for a video game or something like that but it's not like I talk to the WWE every week and give them my thoughts on what's going on with them or they call me and give their opinions on what I've been doing. It's a business relationship and like everything else when you're gone you're gone and when you're back you're back and if there's anything in-between on a business level or a personal level I'll get in contact with them. I have a good relationship with the WWE and there's no animosity but it's not like we're calling each other every day finding out what we had for dinner that night." - Chris Jericho on his business relationship with WWE

While Taryn Terrell was pregnant, she always kept the door open for a TNA return, stating that she has not accomplished everything that she wanted in professional wrestling. It looks like that comeback will be taking place this summer, as Taryn recently did a photo shoot for the company. The Knockout appears to be in great shape already.

Rumors going around are that Shaul Guerrero was caught a bit off guard by her release from WWE this week. She recently did a photo shoot, where she and Baron Corbin both did gimmick changes. Many had expected her to try out the new character on WWE NXT. Shaul has been quiet on Twitter, where her last post was during Monday Night Raw.

Another name that is going to be making a return to WWE in January is none other than Wade Barrett. His shoulders have healed up, well enough to where the former Intercontinental Champion is now able to lift some weights. Barrett needs a little bit of time in the gym, as his muscles have decreased a bit because he could not work out after the surgery. The belief is that he will be working Royal Rumble 2014.
November 18, 2014
Wade Barrett hasn't been on television in quite some time now because he suffered a shoulder injury during a match with Jack Swagger. He was recently up in Toronto, so he sought the help of Trish Stratus, a former WWE diva who now runs a successful yoga business. Barrett stated that the workout session with Trish helped his shoulder feel a bit better.
September 27, 2014
The downplaying of the Great Khali continues. WWE is doing some promotional work in India this week, and once again, the former world heavyweight champion was not chosen for the task of generating interest in his own country. Instead, WWE has sent Wade Barrett, a European star who is currently injured. The belief is that management will be severing ties with Khali once his contract expires because he is one of higher paid performers on the roster.
September 17, 2014
Patience isn't always a virtue in WWE. Wade Barrett was initially told by doctors that he would not be able to make his return to the ring until December. However, the company has a big tour of Europe in November. Since Barrett is viewed as a bit of a draw on that continent, WWE has started advertising his appearances. The belief is that Barrett will rush back from the injury to work those shows.
August 27, 2014
While many were afraid that the injury would cause him to lose his push, the fact that management has Wade Barrett scheduled to make an appearance at WWE Battleground 2014 is a good sign that the elevation will continue once he makes his return. The belief is that Barrett will be handing over the Intercontinental Championship to the winner of the battle royal, while planting the seeds for a future feud.
July 15, 2014
Thanks to an errant throw into the guard rail by Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett has underwent ligament reconstruction surgery. WWE is reporting that the operation went well and that Barrett is at home resting now. No official word yet on how long he will be gone, but rumors are floating that it will be for several months, which is why WWE stripped him of the Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night Raw this week.
July 2, 2014
Since Wade Barrett is injured and will require several months on the shelf, WWE decided to strip him of the Intercontinental Championship and put it on the line in a battle royal at Battleground 2014. Four names have been confirmed so far for the match. Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, Great Khali and Antonio Cesaro will be involved in that match. More is expected to be added through the next few weeks.
July 1, 2014
Over the last couple of months, Wade Barrett has been gaining momentum in WWE after receiving a little push. A lot of fans want to see him winning the gold at Money in the Bank 2014. However, the chances of that happening have decreased tremendously, as the Intercontinental Champion has suffered some sort of shoulder injury. Medical tests are still being ran, but rumors are strongly suggesting that WWE will pull him from the pay per view.
June 25, 2014
"It actually came from a joke. Cody Rhodes likes to tell a story that when he was a little kid he used to watch me wrestle. I'm slightly older than Cody, we're talking three years or something like that, but in his head I'm a really old man. I once walked into the locker room and he was telling the entire locker room that when he was a kid he was watching me wrestling as this character he made up named 'Bad News Barrett' who goes around giving out bad news to people. So we all laughed about it and forgot about it. Then I was invited on the JBL and Cole show and they said they wanted to use me on the show and asked if I had any ideas of what to do. So I said you know what, let's just do Bad News Barrett. I'll just turn up and give people bad news and then disappear. I got a really good response online and fans were loving the catch phrase 'I'm afraid I've got some bad news' and Vince McMahon saw it and thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Next thing you know I'm on TV doing it." - Wade Barrett explaining how his new gimmick in WWE came ot be
June 16, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
At one point in time, WWE had plans to put the Intercontinental Championship around the waist of Antonio Cesaro. However, those plans were dropped and the belt was given to Wade Barrett instead. Since management still wants to push Cesaro, there is a very good chance that he ends up capturing the United States Heavyweight Championship from Sheamus at Payback 2014 tomorrow night.
May 31, 2014
Since the company is hoping to build him back up to the main event level, Wade Barrett is expected to successfully retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship in his match against Rob Van Dam at Payback 2014. The former leader of Nexus will more than likely be fed another challenger next month as well. If things go as planned, he could be a future rival for Daniel Bryan.
May 27, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, WWE fans have witnessed Wade Barrett winning the Intercontinental Championship and Sheamus winning the United States Heavyweight Championship. A big reason why WWE went that route is because of the upcoming tour of Europe, as both performers are still quite popular on that continent.
May 10, 2014

May 6, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, Wade Barrett has picked up support from the audience thanks to his catchphrase. He also had a big fan backstage in Vince McMahon. Going into Extreme Rules 2014, the belief within WWE was that Barrett was all but guaranteed to win the IC title, especially since Big E Langston had very little to no momentum.
May 5, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.
May 4, 2014
Initially, WWE was expected to give a big push to Big E Langston upon winning the Intercontinental Championship, but some things changed backstage and that never came to fruition. Since Langston has lost so much momentum over the last couple of months, WWE is seriously considering putting the IC title on the rising Wade Barrett at Extreme Rules 2014.
May 1, 2014
A video of the match between Wade Barrett and Rob Van Dam on Monday Night Raw to determine the new challenger for Big E Langston and the WWE Intercontinental Championship at Extreme Rules 2014.
April 30, 2014
One of the big reasons why Wade Barrett is receiving a push in WWE right now is because he has a strong supporter in Vince McMahon, who absolutely loves the Bad News Barrett gimmick. The character was shown to McMahon not too long ago, and he was the one that pushed for it to be brought to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown on a weekly basis.
April 28, 2014
With the pay per view just days away, there are some early predictions for Extreme Rules 2014 already. Many in the industry believe that Wade Barrett will take the IC title from Big E Langston because of the momentum that he has built up. A lot of people believe that Bray Wyatt will be given a win over John Cena to get some of his heat back. Almost no one believes that Kane will win the WWE title from Daniel Bryan.

Porsche's Performance Plug-in Preamble By the end of this year, Porsche will be producing as many plug-in vehicles (two) as mainstream automakers such as Toyota, Chevrolet and Honda. Before the 2015 918 Spyder hybrid supercar goes on sale in the US, though, it will be warming its customers up to the idea of a plug-in model with the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid. A step up from the previous Panamera S Hybrid, the new plug-in Panamera adds a more powerful and advanced electric drive system that pledges to deliver the performance expected of a Porsche with the added benefit of improved fuel eco...

The entire Porsche Panamera lineup gets a refresh for the 2014 model year, and new additions to the range include two long-wheelbase models and this E-Hybrid fuel-sipper that makes its debut here at the Shanghai Motor Show. And, well, we say "fuel-sipper" lightly. Porsche has packed its hybrid Panamera with 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque, ...
Porsche will officially unveil the refreshed 2014 Panamera at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month, and there's a whole lot in store for the updated model, far beyond the minimal styling tweaks you see here. Sure, there's a new fascia with more prominent LED lighting (including full LED headlamps) and the rump has been tweaked ever so slightly, but ...
The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo was arguably the best concept car of 2012, and Porsche has been building upon that momentum by teasing us with videos of its first-ever station wagon design. After showing us some driving shots of the Sport Turismo, Porsche released a more in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at what it took to take the Panamera shooting ...
We've been fans of the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Concept ever since we first laid eyes on it at the Paris Motor Show back in September. And just when we finally managed to get that sensational rump out of our minds, Porsche has gone and released a video of the sexy beast in action. The video also features the German automaker's general manager of ...
Porsche's working on a plug-in hybrid-electric (PHEV) powertrain for both its Cayenne and Panamera models, Motor Trend reports. The Cayenne SUV PHEV will likely debut in 2014, followed shortly by the Panamera, according to the publication. We've heard about the Panamera PHEV before, and that there would be a Cayenne PHEV as well isn't exactly a ...
Well this is something you don't see every day. Thieves in Amsterdam have been preying upon unsuspecting Porsche models recently. That may not be unusual in and of itself, but the burglars are not attempting to make off with the entire car. Rather, they are stealing only the HID headlights. But what's most interesting is the purpose behind snatching just ...
Porsche has been steadily bolstering its Panamera line since the car was first introduced adding models like the V6, Hybrid and GTS, and starting next year, it is adding a new model to the mix, the Panamera Platinum Edition. The 2013 Porsche Panamera Platinum Edition goes on sale on January 5, and it is only offered on the V6 models with a starting price ...
Whether or not it's ever going to be built, the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Concept sounds like it will be playing a pivotal role in upcoming Porsche products. Following the car's debut at the Paris Motor Show, Motor Trend sat down with Porsche AG President and CEO, Matthias Müller, to discuss where we might see elements from this stylish concept ...
When we heard that Porsche would be bringing a Panamera wagon concept to Paris, reaction was just as scattered as people's reaction to the Panamera itself; some actually wondering if the Panamera isn't already a wagon, others deciding, to put it kindly, that the back end of Porsche's five-door can only go up, design-wise. Then we saw leaked pics of the ...
With the 2012 Paris Motor Show kicking off tomorrow, Porsche has already dropped what could be the biggest bombshell of the show with this Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Concept. Aside from giving the polarizing Panamera five-door hatchback much sexier lines, this long-rumored cargo-friendly concept obviously has the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake dead ...
We've already driven the Porsche Panamera GTS in Europe in a track environment, but haven't had the chance to talk about this car after driving it in on U.S. roads yet.

It's not like we needed it, but the latest episode of Motor Trend's "Head 2 Head" is more proof that those who spend six-figures buy whatever they want (or more likely, they buy three or four of them), not necessarily what wins the spec war or a drag race. Jonny Lieberman took two German thunder chariots, the BMW M5 and Porsche Panamera GTS, to the ...

Ask an automaker what buyers say they want from the next generation of a certain vehicle, and one of the answers will almost certainly be "More room."

German car magazine Auto Bild reports Porsche is planning build a sedan that will slot below the Panamera and compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Citing no sources (so a grain of salt is recommended), the magazine claims the four-door, codenamed Pajun, will cost no less than $84,000 and be ready for production no later than 2017. In ...

"t's a curious fact that people like Armstrong, Aslan, and Pape can so easily see how politics can motivate people to do bad things, but yet insist that religion cannot. I wonder what observations would really convince them that people's religious (as well as political) beliefs can make them do harm. Can they tell us? The jihadis' repeated pronouncements of religious motivation is, apparently, misleading, for they don't know their own minds. "

The Driving Force Behind America's Warp Speed Decline into an Unequal Society

Les Leopold exposes the methods Wall Street uses to make almost everybody else poor and themselves uber-rich.

… insight into how Wall Street promotes inequality ... starts with understanding that the dramatic jump in the CEO/worker pay gap coincides with an equally dramatic change in the fundamental structure of the modern corporation.

… the International Labor Organization produced an eye-popping study of 71 countries in its Global Wage Report 2012/13. They test the relative significance of possible causes of wage inequality such as globalization, new technology, and cutbacks in government support for workers and unions. They also add another possible explanation which they call financialization: how much of a nation's economy is devoted to Wall Street-like financial activities. Using statistical techniques they measure the degree that each causal factor contributes to wage stagnation. For example, do countries with more global trade have more or less inequality? Does having more advanced technology account for declining or increasing worker wages? Do countries with large labor movements have higher wages than those with smaller labor movements?

The chart below summarizes the ILO's startling results for developed economies. Occupy Wall Street apparently had it right: Financial activities are the dominant cause of rising inequality. [emphasis mine]

Until the 1980s,... Corporate survival and prosperity depended on plowing back most of a corporation's profits into increased worker wages and training, research and development, and new plant and equipment.

Then came financial deregulation … Almost immediately a new crop of financiers emerged who raised large sums of money to buy up companies. Instead of creating new value within the corporation, the fundamental goal of these corporate raiders (now called private equity and hedge fund managers) was to extract value away from the corporation and into their pockets.

Here's how it works.

First they buy up firms using borrowed money and make the acquired corporation pay back the loans. For pulling off the deal, they use some of that borrowed money to pay themselves enormous fees, right off the top. They also provide fat bonuses for the CEOs who are to run the acquired corporation. Most importantly, they change the way top officers are rewarded. From this point on, most of their incomes would derive from stock options. The more the stock price rose, the more the CEOs would pocket.

As a result, the new incentive would be focused solely on making the firm's stock price climb. Nothing else mattered. How do you do that? You use as much of the profits as possible to buy up your own stocks! … buying back your own stock became the new corporate way of life.

By 2008-'09 corporate America was, in effect, using 75% of its profits to buy back its own stock. At the same time, loan and after loan was piled onto the corporate books to buy up even more stock. So that after buying the stock and paying off the loans, there was very little profit remaining to reinvest in the company. (The loan payments and fees, of course, went to Wall Street firms.)

To play this game, worker wages, R&D and new plant and equipment are cut to the bone. Older plants are eliminated. Production is outsourced to low-wage areas. Temporary workers replace permanent employees. Benefits like healthcare and pensions are reduced or eliminated. Unions are undermined. And bankruptcy is sometimes used to break contracts to further reduce these costs. The fees for all this "financial engineering" go to Wall Street. The stock-option-loaded CEOs become part of Wall Street—its onsite, wealth extraction overseers. Nearly all corporations whether raided or not, soon followed this lucrative model. Strip-mining the corporation becomes its fundamental activity. Good-bye American Dream.

The financialization of the modern corporation is the driving force of runaway inequality. [emphasis mine]

For the past 40 years, we have seen the erosion of safety nets for small business and wage workers. Income Gap between wealthy and poor grows, exponentially now.

This has all happened before. The Great Depression is only the most recent profound depression. The reason is that capitalism creates an us-vs-them mentality, with boom and bust patterns that destroy small businesses and wage earners incomes. It is no accident, it is part of the processes of capitalism left unfettered.

'Walmart's Worst Nightmare' Is Expanding Massively

During the 1920s, wages remained low for privately owned business and wage workers with financial institutions allowing wealthy to leverage their wealth. A big bubble formed in the financials putting everyone at risk of financial collapse.

The 1930s: Turning Point for U.S. Labor

"But the richest people in society felt no sympathy for the starving masses. They had spent the previous decade slashing wages and breaking unions, with widespread success. By 1929, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) had lost a million members.2"

It's been in the news. Now it has been confirmed. As of this past weekend, Raymond Leo Burke, America's highest-ranking cardinal at the Vatican, was officially removed from the Vatican's Supreme Court, and demoted to chaplain of the Knights of Malta, where he will reign with much less responsibility. The ultra-Conservative and anti-gay cardinal, continuously challenges the jurisdiction of Pope Francis, and the Catholic Church's new receptive stance on homosexuality.

 How ironic it is to find the demoted cardinal is from the United States. What does that say about America - that even the Catholic Church and a pope are ahead of so many anti-LGBT lawmakers and extremists in this country.

 Weeks after taking office in 2013, Pope Francis asked, 'Who am I to judge?' speaking of the LGBT community. Since then, he has had great support for his progressive views, and of course, great opposition. Raymond Burke is one of the pope's strongest opponents. The 66 year-old Burke believes homosexuality is, 'always and everywhere wrong [and] evil,' and continuously questioned the authority of Pope Francis, now 77. Burke told Buzzfeed in October:

"The pope is not free to change the church's teachings with regard to the immorality of homosexual acts or the insolubility of marriage or any other doctrine of the faith."

Apparently the Pope is free, at minimum, to encourage change. This is one more reason why so many free-thinkers in America, and in other countries love Pope Francis.

 Talk about an interesting juxtaposition: a pontiff who seems to at least be trying to live in the 21st century, as opposed to a subordinate who appears utterly determined to live in the 19th, if not earlier. No, I do NOT think that this allows Frankie to get a pass. What it may be pointing too is even more internecine conflict in the future as the catholic church in one form or another bangs its head against an evolving society which has little to nothing to do with that antiquated organization.

The president came to Washington thinking he could change Washington, make it better, unite it and the nation. He was wrong. As he ascended, the tone of political discourse descended, as much because of who he was as what he did.

 When Obama introduced Joe Biden as his vice-presidential running mate in Springfield, Ill., he expressed his confidence that Biden could "help me turn the page on the ugly partisanship in Washington, so we can bring Democrats and Republicans together to pass an agenda that works for the American people."

 In his first Inaugural Address, Obama said:

 "On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics. We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things."

 He underestimated the degree to which his very presence for some would feel more like a thorn than a salve. The president seemed to think that winning was the thing. It wasn't. Stamina was the thing. The ability to nurse a grievance was the thing.

 The president's first "I won" moment came shortly after his inauguration. It was in an hourlong, bipartisan meeting with congressional leaders about the stimulus package. ABC News reported an exchange the president had with Eric Cantor this way:

 "Obama told Cantor this morning that 'on some of these issues we're just going to have ideological differences.' The president added, 'I won. So I think on that one, I trump you.' "

 Then, in a 2010 meeting with members of Congress about the Affordable Care Act, a visibly agitated president quipped to John McCain (who was raising concerns about the bill): "We're not campaigning anymore. The election is over."

 And in 2013, appearing even more agitated following the government shutdown, the president chastised his opponents across the aisle: "You don't like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election."

 This idea that Republicans would honor the fact that he was elected — twice — almost seems quaint. It angered; it didn't assuage.

 And in addition to some people being ideologically opposed to Democratic principles in general, others are endlessly irritated by a personal attitude and persona that seem impervious to chastisement or humbling.

 Even the president himself has come around to giving voice to this in public. Last year he told The New York Times: "There's not an action that I take that you don't have some folks in Congress who say that I'm usurping my authority. Some of those folks think I usurp my authority by having the gall to win the presidency."

 Read the rest here.

 ============================================

 Once I saw the obstructionism which has characterized entirely too much of the GOP's response to the presidency of Barack Obama, Mr. Blow's observations in this piece have become blatantly evident. Republicans as a rule will not cooperate with Obama because he is Obama, and for no other reason. At the risk of being offensive, it's because of the n****r in the White House. All the high-concept talk about a post-racial United States becomes a lie in the face of repeated attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, McConnell's assertion that the GOP's primary focus should be on denying Obama a second term, shutting down the government, John Boehner's threat of a lawsuit against the president, and other suchlike actions. This isn't just the reaction of the Old Boys' Club; it's the reaction of the Old White Boys' Club.

And all of this is summed up in the last sentence of Mr. Blow's article:

To his opponents, this president's greatest sins are his success and his self.

Peak Prosperity News Update - 11/7/2014 - Central Planners In A State of Panic

A USA Federal Bank official are completely dominated by speculative flows. As food costs rise for everyone, the bankers tell us "don't worry, we've got more punch than you could possibly imagine. We will refill this punchbowl."

Japan, made a move that was specifically designed to move the money. Their central banks are no longer even pretending that they're doing anything but move the market's. He announced a vast expansion of the central bank purchase program. In this pickup, Japan will buy more than a hundred percent of all the new issuances of government bonds and buy more stocks. The extremely wealthy Japanese became even wealthier and everyone else in Japan became poorer. The people who work to put roofs over their heads and food in their bellies became poorer. They have fewer yen to pay for their living expenses.

We need to understand this deliberate active policy in Japan is nothing more than taking money from pocket A and putting it in pocket B. Martinsen explains clearly how this is accomplished in Japan.

Everyone who is a saver, everyone who has money in fixed income, everyone who is retired and living on a pension just had their pockets picked and put into another pocket.

Every bank is doing this, the USA, banks in Europe, and we see the largest transfer of money from small businesses and wager workers to those who own capital. We need to understand this process and then pay attention to what the Fed is doing. Who appointed the Fed? Who influences the Fed? Who is bought and paid for in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of our government. Who appoints the Fed?

Locking people up for petty crimes under the "Three Strikes" law doesn't work....never did.

Editorial: California Leads on Justice Reform
Prop 47 Could Take the State a Step Further in Reducing Overcrowding

For a long time, the conventional political wisdom was that no one ever lost an election for being too tough on crime. That wisdom has been turned on its head in recent years, as both politicians and the public are realizing how much damage the lock-'em-up mind-set has caused.

In recent polls asking about the most important problems facing the country, crime ranks way at the bottom. That's because crime is at its lowest levels in decades, even while overstuffed prisons cripple state budgets.

A familiar retort is that crime is down precisely because the prisons are full, but that's simply not true. Multiple studies show that crime has gone down faster in states that have reduced their prison populations.

An encouraging example comes from California, the site of some the worst excesses of the mass incarceration era, but also some of the more innovative responses to it.

For five years, the state has been under federal court order to reduce extreme overcrowding in its prisons. In response, voters in 2012 overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure to scale back the state's notorious "three-strikes" law, leading to the release, so far, of more than 1,900 prisoners who had been serving life in prison — in some cases, for petty theft.

Dire warnings that crime would go up as a result were unfounded. Over two years, the recidivism rate of former three-strikes inmates is 3.4 percent, or less than one-tenth of the state's average. That's, in large part, because of a strong network of re-entry services.

The 2012 measure has provided the model for an even bigger proposed release of prisoners that California voters will consider on the ballot next week. Under Proposition 47, many low-level drug and property offenses — like shoplifting, writing bad checks or simple drug possession — would be converted from felonies to misdemeanors.

That would cut an average of about a year off the sentences of up to 10,000 inmates, potentially saving the state hundreds of millions of dollars annually. To keep people from returning to prison, or from going in the first place, the savings would be invested in anti-truancy efforts and other programs like mental health and drug-abuse treatment. Some would go to victims' services, a perennially underfinanced part of the justice system.

Law-enforcement officials, not surprisingly, oppose the measure, warning that crime will go up. But they've already been proved wrong on three-strikes reform.

Californians — who support the proposition by a healthy margin, according to polls — have now seen for themselves that they don't have to choose between reducing prison populations and protecting public safety.

It is very rare for lawmakers anywhere to approve legislation to shorten sentences for people already in prison; it is virtually unheard-of to do it by ballot measure. California's continuing experiment on sentencing can be a valuable lesson to states around the country looking for smart and safe ways to unravel America's four-decade incarceration binge.

Do the math => fear 2015.

When you look at the numbers for Ebola's exponential increase and the cost of treatment/containment, it becomes obvious that 2015 will be a rough year for all of us.

This is the terrifying thing about exponential growth as applied to disease: what is happening now, and what happens next, is always as bad as the sum of everything that has happened to date.

… thanks again to the power of exponential growth, if the number of beds can be doubled only at more or less the same rate that the virus doubles the number of cases, the disease's head start will grow ever more overwhelming. For the caseloads predicted for late November and December, the 70% treatment level seen as needed to bring things under control corresponds to tens of thousands of beds.

For a sense of the resources required to raise the tempo, consider that the 70-bed facility in Bong cost $170,000 to build. It needs a staff of 165 to treat patients and handle tasks like waste management and body disposal.

The monthly cost of running the unit comes out at around $1m, which is about $15,000 a bed. The WHO puts the costs of a 50-bed facility at about $900,000 a month. These figures suggest that a 100,000-bed operation would cost in the region of $1 billion-$2 billion a month.

… the UN secretary-general, sees a need for … a 20-fold surge" in assistance. [emphasis mine]

Tens of thousands of beds would require more than twice that in staff.

Thus far, the pledges made by the international community haven't translated into much help on the ground. Will the international community send these far larger amounts of money, manpower, and skilled medical staff in a couple of months, while simultaneously facing a few outbreaks on their own soil?

If civil order breaks down, the epidemic will get still worse.

If When civil order breaks down in West Africa, the epidemic will get still worse.

I challenge you to imagine a plausible political scenario for the world community to accomplish a task of this magnitude in two months. I can't. As the WHO delicately puts it, we'll then face a situation for which there is no plan.

Jeffrey Shulman from Georgetown Law looks at the unintended consequences of two U.S. statutes that could, in the words of Justice Antonin Scalia, "permit every citizen to become a law unto himself."

http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2014/10/two-little-known-statutes-may-make-religious-belief-superior-to-the-law-of-the-land/

... In 1993, Congress passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which required a strict scrutiny standard [commonly called "strict in theory and fatal in fact"] for any federal ... action that "substantially burden[s] a person's exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability."

... RFRA remains good law where the action of the federal government is concerned. Its strict scrutiny standard was the heavy finger that tipped the scales in favor of Hobby Lobby's claim that its rights were violated by Obamacare's contraception mandate...

Soon after the demise of RFRA's application to state laws, Congress went to work to find a way to bring heightened review to some aspects of state conduct. The result (in 2000) was a statute with the ungainly title of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.... In brief, RLUIPA applies strict scrutiny to claims of religious burdens involving prisoner rights or discriminatory land use. ...

... Was Justice Scalia wrong in Smith to warn that strict scrutiny review of neutral and generally applicable laws would "make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect . . . permit every citizen to become a law unto himself"? And should we not ask—indeed, some have—what business Congress has in telling the Supreme Court that it must apply strict scrutiny where the Court has already decided it is inappropriate to do so? ...

I just love the looks and comments I get when I tell people that I am a gamer. Most of those in my age group surely think something must be wrong with me. So what if I just leapt over the "middle age" marker? Immature? Nope. Peter Pan syndrome? Hardly. I consider myself a responsible and functioning adult. Youthful? I can think of worse things to be labeled. Geek? OK, so there's probably some truth to that. Call me what you will, but in my house videogaming is here to stay. In fact, it's just as critical a component in my setup as my HDTV, digital cable, DVD player and audio system. And from the research I've been reading, it appears that I am not alone.
Gamers are aging. In fact, the average age of a male gamer is climbing into the 30's. But where are they? Hiding behind their children, most likely. Just admit you're nearly as excited about the upcoming release of "Grand Theft Auto 4" as your teenagers (and they shouldn't be playing it!). The most ashamed gamers prefer to bash the game for its violence and political correctness in public, but then snap it up on release day and play into the wee (not Wii) hours of the morning. I'll save my "GTA is a quality game" tirade for another column, but the point I'm trying to make is, you wouldn't be afraid to engage in a water cooler conversation about last night's episode of Lost, so you shouldn't be ashamed to admit that the bags under your eyes are a direct result of trying to obtain the 67th star in Super Mario Galaxy the night before.
The phenomenon behind grown-up gamers is due to my generation being the first to grow up with videogames as a form of entertainment. Think about it. Our parents didn't stop watching TV once they matured, so why should we stop gaming? Back in the day (the 70's), the foundation for my passion with gaming was laid first with Pong, and then the Atari 2600 before it was even called the 2600 (Atari Video Computer System). With the 80s came Mattel's Intellivision, followed by ColecoVision. I have owned just about every system ever made, the consoles, the portables, and even some of the obscure ones, like the self-contained Vectrex. Man, do I wish I held on to some of those systems! (I never owned a Magnavox Odyssey, but I had a friend who did.)
These days, well let's just say some things never change; my current home gaming rig includes a Wii, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. I'm fortunate that my wife lets me indulge in my "little hobby," but don't confuse indulgence with actual time to get my game on. With three very energetic children, a busy family schedule, a job, and life in general, I am lucky to get in maybe 2-to-4 hours of gaming in a week, and even then it's usually planned downtime, or extreme late night. Hence the bags mentioned earlier.
I'm not here to tell you that to enjoy videogaming you need to own all three of the current generation consoles, nor am I here to add fuel to the console wars fire (today). I own all three because I enjoy the variety and the various technical nuances and innovations that each brings to the table. Today's sophisticated systems are not the toys of yesteryear and are right at home in both look and spec to the rest of the electronics in your rack, with HD output (or at least progressive SD), digital audio and surround support, internet connectivity/online gaming, integrated DVD and Blu-Ray players, media center capabilities and more.
If you're already a gamer you know all this, but if you're on the fence and this whole "casual gaming" thing has your interest piqued, my advice to you is don't worry about what the neighbors think and give it a try. It will be a welcome addition to your entertainment system, and in no time you will be compelled to pick up and play long after family time has ended, not to mention using the other entertainment options these machines deliver. Once you get started, just don't forget the old adage "everything in moderation," and don't blame me (or have your significant other write me) if you find yourself addicted.
If you're thinking about becoming an official Grown-Up Gamer, here's some advice: Rent or buy used games until you find your favorite genres and game styles. Because gaming can be a sizeable investment, you should also read reviews and ask store salespeople before buying. Beware! There is a lot of junk out there on store shelves. Sometimes even a gaming veteran like me gets burned.
Until next time, my current and prospective Grown-Up Gamers, keep your head held high and don't be afraid to proudly proclaim "this game is for me!" when standing in line with a horde of people less than half your age at your local GameStop.
What I'm playing now:

Toyota pushes back TS030 race debut after test-session crash
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Apr 11th, 2012 at 6:30PM
"Mentsch tracht, Gott lacht," goes the old Yiddish proverb. Man plans, God laughs. And that certainly applies to motor racing, where engineers, mechanics, strategists... entire teams spend day and night over the course of months preparing to campaign their new race car, only for it all to go horribly wrong at the last minute. And that's what the folks at Toyota Motorsport GmbH in Cologne, Germany, are apparently facing now. After having their Formula One program shut down a couple of years ago by corporate headquarters, Toyota Motorsport has been hunting for a new project ever since. That... Read More

AMI upgrades UK regional receiving
Air Menzies International (AMI) ' the world's largest trade-only airfreight and express wholesaler - has reorganised its UK regional cargo receiving and trucking operations. The changes are improving processing times, enabling later close-outs and provide access to an increased number of next-day departures from London Heathrow.In Manchester, AMI has become self-handling and will move into a new dedicated 8000 sq ft unit. The on-airport facility - currently undergoing refurbishment, and installation of upgraded security systems - will be operational from mid-January.
AMI Manchester handles 40% of all AMI's UK bookings, and 80% of this traffic flies direct from Manchester Airport. The new AMI-only facility will improve truck processing times. Meanwhile, cargo for flights departing from London Heathrow will be trucked by nightly road feeders operated by airfreight trucking specialist Ware Transport; this will offer later close-outs, and earlier arrivals at London Heathrow.
At both Leeds Bradford Airport and East Midlands Airport, AMI is now using handler WFS for receiving, while trucking to Manchester and London Heathrow is again provided by Ware Transport.
In Birmingham, AMI is now being handled by Ware Transport at its Gateway Estate receiving centre. Ware also provides nightly trucks to AMI's main UK consolidation centre at London Heathrow, meeting next day departures.
Says AMI's Regional VP Europe, Sharon Wright: 'Manchester is our most important centre outside London, and we continue our long-held policy of supporting the airport's departures whenever possible. We are very pleased to offer an increased flight schedule coupled with improved processing times for all customers' vehicles ' whether delivering cargo for our ex-Manchester services, or the 20% of shipments that require transport to our London base.
'Customers delivering to AMI at all four regional airports can now benefit from later close-outs, and earlier arrivals that increase the opportunities for next-day departures from London Heathrow. These changes are having a very positive effect on our service levels, and further enhance our customers' competitiveness.'

Design brief
Theme Park Press
Theme Park Press will publish print/electronic books about the Disney theme parks, as well as biographies of Disney Legends, examinations of Disney culture, and most other things Disney. In future, books about other theme parks may be released, but for now, the output is exclusively Disney, and will always be mostly Disney.
None specified
The challenge with this logo is striking a balance between whimsy and professionalism. I want to convey that Theme Park Press is a serious company that publishes fun books about Disney.
Please do not use any Disney characters, stock Disney images, stock Disney fonts, or anything else protected by copyright. I'm not looking for an "obvious" connection to Disney.
The logo should look good at different sizes: everything from a (roughly) 100px high website banner to the back of an XXL t-shirt.
I leave color up to you. The color(s) you choose for the logo will become the dominant color(s) for the website. Please avoid dark, drab colors; but also don't go too far in the opposite extreme and use garish, overly bright colors.
As with my last contest, I'll be very active with comments.
I may ask the person who wins this contest to do further (paid) work on website graphics, icons, etc.
Best of luck to everyone!

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Crime Stoppers is making an urgent plea for fresh tips in the disappearance of a local teacher. Amy Patterson vanished one year ago this week. She had lived on Pine Island with her ex-husband and boyfriend, Daniel Proctor.
"We believe that Amy is dead. But we do not have her body. So we cannot file charges in the case," said Trish Routte of Crime Stoppers.
"We fear that Proctor may get out of jail in Alabama on other charges in a few weeks. If he does, he will disappear. We will not see him again," said Routte.
Patterson disappeared in 2011, and searchers spent many hours looking for her body.
Proctor has been in jail in Alabama, where his mother doubts that he had anything to do with the disappearance of Patterson.
"In my heart and my eyes, he did not have any part in it," said Joyce Rosenbaum, Proctor's mother.
Regardless, authorities want and need new tips.
"We want the friends of Dan and Amy to think hard, try to remember something that they might have said that could be a clue to the where-abouts of a body. Do the right thing. Call in the tip. You can be anonymous. It will give the family closure and justice will be served. Otherwise, I am afraid this man will get away with murder."

Never Gonna Let You Go Lyrics - Babyface
Review The Song (2)
written by Babyface (1998)
performed by Faith Evans
If I had one wish, boy
I'd wish you next to me
And it could be in summer, fall or spring, boy
'Cause you make my heart sing
I wanna give my heart, my soul, my love to you
Oh baby, yeah
'Cause every day I'm not with you
I'm missing you like crazy
I need for you to...
I need for you to love me, hold me, touch me
Down deep in my soul, never let it go
Of the love we share, no one compares to you
I'll never let you go 'cause I really love you so
Oh, I...
I'll never let you go, oh no
If you must know the truth, boy
I'm nothing without you
It's funny how I know what people mean, boy
When it's too good to be true
Because you give me joy, good love
Good times, such happiness
Oh yeah
And every day I thank the Lord for you
I feel so blessed
I need for you to...
If you only knew
What you really do
Ain't never had no one that does it quite like you do
You could spend half a lifetime
Trying to find one like you
That's why I am so glad I found you baby
I wished upon a star, and it came true
Darling, I need for you to...

Testimony about the Book of Mormon
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently, but even so I cannot say that my testimony about his truthfulness and the veracity of the thing about this church is a testimony of worthless. Actually my testimony about this stuff is very strong.(... ...)
I had one experience in particular with the Book of Mormon. The experience only confirmed and further increased my certainty about all the things I learned since I became a member of this simple church.
Everything happened in a particular night, when was reading the Book of Mormon. Since I started reading, I have continued to read every day. I was very interested in knowing about the history of the Nephite and Lamanite people, and wanted to finish reading the book and know everything it had to tell. I have spent hours devouring the book and checking the things that called attention, or the doubts that I had to during my study. It was amazing how I identified with some of the verses. I have the desire to know everything. I have never been able to read a book cover to cover before. I think that curiosity is the greatest of my flaws.
On this particular evening, I had finished reading book. There was no more doubt about the veracity of the book. The Lord had been generous to me when I join with His church. He had given me many signs that He can hear me and answer my prayers. Even though sometimes I even I did not feel worthy to receive the blessings that I asked him, he still gave me a answer.
I finished reading the book and came across the famous verse, (Moroni 10:4) "And when ye shall receive these things, I exhort that ye would ask God the Eternal Father in the name of Christ, if these things are true, and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of the power of the Holy Ghost." and decided once again to offer a prayer asking if these things are true. The interesting thing is that I had already received two responses already and that would be the third, I was so privileged to have received such a response again. But in the end, prayer is how we receive answers from our Father in Heavens.
I think I can say that I was privileged to received an answer once again, through a dream. The dream was not too long and was not a dream in which there was dialogue or story, or explanation by word or action. It was a dream of pure feeling: "I felt like a very large force of the spirit to invade my sol. The spirit was strong, but by no means hurt me ... in fact I felt very light when you receive that power. It's like the Holy Spirit was coming inside of me and bringing me into Heaven. It was a wonderful feeling that I could not express with my own words. "
I remember when I woke up and remembered the dream a few verses of the Book of Mormon came to my mind immediately. 3 Nephi 28:13 ("And behold, the heavens were opened, and they were caught up into heaven and saw and heard unspeakable things.") And 3 Nephi 28:15 ("And whether they were in the body or out of the body, they could not tell; for it did seem unto them like a transfiguration of them that they were changed from this body of flesh into an immortal state, that they could behold the things of God. "). It is my great desire to want to compare what I felt about what 12 apostles felt when making your request to Christ is really more like I think they must have felt to receive that gift of our savior.
It was an incredible experience for me. It is a pleasure can share it with someone else. You may not have an answer through a dream, such as was directed for me, because our Heavenly Father answers the questions in each one differently. But I invite you to read the 3 Nephi 28, and try to imagine how it would get the things they asked Christ that day, or how they felt after receiving their answers. This surely will increase my testimony about the truthfulness of these things and help you to persevere to the end.
I'm not perfect, in truth I'm actually far from it. But I know these things helped me improve a lot. In time will only improve myself more. Perhaps in future I can serve God our Savior, in a full mission and share these and other wonderful experiences with the lost sheep of our Heavenly Father?
I hope this was a good read and it can help people who are looking for the truth, even if it only helps a little. I know that God exists and sent his son Jesus Christ to atone for our sins so that those who believed they could be saved, through their faith, repentance of their sins, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was truly a prophet sent by Christ to restore the true Church of Christ and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is my testimony. I leave in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

JACKSON, Ohio (WSAZ) -- One look at a family's picture and you instantly notice something: solidarity.
Myrtle Rasp, 49, is battling cancer, but she's not doing it alone.
"There have been times I wanted to give up," Rasp said. "But look around. How can I when there's so much love in this room?"
The Rasp family has taken out the clippers as a show of support. The hair of 15 people and counting has made its way to the living room floor.
On Tuesday afternoon, Carrie Copley Dugan said goodbye to her golden locks.
"We're going to fight this together," Dugan said through falling hair and tears, "and we're going to win this thing together."
Rasp was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the summer of 2011. She went into remission, but now she's battling round two.
