Hear why 'non-violent' Islamists are more dangerous to U.S. than terrorists
(c) 2011 WorldNetDaily
An expert on Islam in America issued a warning today on Sean Hannity's nationally syndicated radio show that the Islamic unrest in Egypt, which now has spread to Libya, is threatening America and its economy.
The overthrow of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and previous ascension to power by Islamic interests in Tunisia, Lebanon and other Middle East and North African nations, now is hitting OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, according to analyst Paul Sperry, a Hoover Institution media fellow and author the best-selling books, "INFILTRATION: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington," and "MUSLIM MAFIA: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America."
"Libya is a real problem," he warned. "It's an OPEC country."
The instability there - with masses demanding the removal of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi combined with his refusal to leave - creates worries "the oil is going to stop flowing ... at a time when businesses are trying to cut costs to the bone," he said.
"This is a real concern. This domino effect ... if it hits other OPEC countries," he said.
He linked the multitude of troubles - Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Qatar, Bahrain and others - with the instigation coming from the Muslim Brotherhood for those in the Middle East and North Africa to rise up against their secular dictators and establish Shariah-complaint Islamic governments.
He added that many in the West simply don't understand the drive on the part of Muslims to follow Shariah and rid themselves of secular leaders.
"All these pundits trying to fig-leaf the Muslim Brotherhood need to talk to the FBI," he said. "They'll tell you virtually every terror case [in the U.S.] points back to the radical Brotherhood. And virtually every major Muslim group is a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood."
David Kupelian, WND's managing editor and best-selling author of "How Evil Works," joined Sperry on Hannity's program today, pinpointing the crux of the issue with Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood.
The interview: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=267213
He cited a recent Pew poll that revealed 84 percent of those in Egypt favor the death penalty for anyone leaving Islam.
"That means 17 out of 20 think it's OK to kill someone who disagrees with you," he said. "That's criminally insane thinking." Countering the popular notion that Egyptians are heading for a democratic government, Kupelian cited William Penn's famous saying that "If men are not governed by God, they will be ruled by tyrants," adding: "Believing it's OK to kill people who disagree with you is not being governed by God. When you are in the grip of beliefs like this, you are inviting a tyrant."
The only question, he said, was, "Is it going to be a Mubarak, or a Muslim Brotherhood worse tyrant?"
"The whole region, the whole Arab Muslim world is on fire," he said. "These people live in anger and fear and intimidation. They have a lousy, corrupt, evil government and their culture and the religion ... they're just in fear and anger and rage all the time."
In a WND column, Kupelian warns of Islam's "two-pronged attack on the West."
"One prong is jihad, intimidation, terror. The other is infiltration, seduction and deception. Both have exactly the same goal - the imposition of Shariah on the United States of America and the rest of the world," he writes.
Sperry said the poverty in the Middle East has gone from bad to worse, and the Muslim Brotherhood is taking advantage of the chaos to blame "all of their problems on the West."
"Their message is 'kick these secular dictators out and set up Islamic theocracies and Allah will reward you.' They're hoping for an Islamic revival and the message is resonating."
Sperry had reported just one day earlier how staff investigators with the House and Senate intelligence committees said they are probing the domestic security threat posed by the radical Muslim Brotherhood and, specifically, whether Brotherhood operatives have penetrated the U.S. government.
The true nature, ambitions and global reach of the Cairo-based Muslim Brotherhood suddenly have become the focus of debate in Washington, following unrest in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East.
ABOUT YOUR GUEST: David Kupelian is an award-winning journalist, managing editor of WorldNetDaily.com, editor of Whistleblower magazine and author of the best-selling book, "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom." His newest book is "How Evil Works: Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces That Are Transforming America," which will be out in paperback March 15, 2011.

A vapor or vapour is a substance in the gas phase at a temperature lower than its critical point. This means that the vapor can be condensed to a liquid or to a solid by increasing its pressure without reducing the temperature. For example, water has a critical temperature of 374 °C, which is the highest temperature at which liquid water can exist. In the atmosphere at ordinary temperatures, therefore, gaseous water will condense to liquid if its partial pressure is increased sufficiently. A vapor may co-exist with a liquid. When this is true, the two phases will be in equilibrium, and the gas partial pressure will equal the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid.

Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) today extended congratulations to Herbert Jockheck of Redfield on his recent offer of an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy, West Point. Johnson nominated Jockheck to the service academy in December of 2007.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for outstanding students like Herbert. He has proven himself to be a responsible, disciplined individual with high academic abilities and strong leadership skills. These young people represent the best and the brightest of South Dakota. I wish them good luck and congratulate them as they begin their service to our country," said Johnson.
"An ideal candidate should process extraordinary leadership skills which he or she exercises through active positions of responsibility. The ideal candidate should have a rare character that demonstrates ethical decision making. What will you call this exceptional collection of qualities? The answer is Herbert W. Jockheck," he said in his application to Johnson.
He is the son of William and Anne Jockheck, and attends Redfield High School. As a member of the Future Business Leaders of America, his high school's football and track teams and is an Eagle Scout, Jockheck has demonstrated a commitment to his school and the community.
In order to be nominated for a service academy, young men and women must be of good character and must meet strict requirements in academics, physical aptitude, medical fitness, character, and leadership potential. Applicants must also meet the minimum medical requirements of the respective academies which are reviewed by the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB). Candidates must also receive a nomination from a nominating source, one of which is through a member of their Congressional delegation.
The service academies notify students who have qualified for appointments on a rolling basis. Johnson nominated 18 highly-qualified South Dakota students to the military service academies this year.
For more information on Senator Tim Johnson visit his website at http://johnson.senate.gov.
To contact Senator Johnson's communications office via e-mail, write his Communications Director at firstname.lastname@example.com or his Press Secretary at email@example.com

Breakfast in Portland, ME – Bintliff's
Maine's state motto is Vacationland. With Portland being a quick 2 hour drive from Boston, it makes for an easy weekend trip, or even a long day trip. BeantownEats recently took an over night trip to Portland, and this week we will show you how to eat your way through Portland, one meal at a time. First up, breakfast at Bintliff's Cafe.
We got several recommendations for this Portland staple, both from our hotel concierge AND the hotel bartender, a 16-year native of Portland. It's about a mile from the Old Port area at 98 Portland Street.
If you are so inclined, start out with a bloody Mary. Celery salted rim and beautiful garnish complete this well-mixed, spicy and home-made breakfast/brunch cocktail.
I ordered the Acadian omelet, which was possibly the best dish at the table, especially for any omelet or egg lover. Filled with andouille sausage, spinach, red onion and pepperjack cheese, this omelet doesn't over do it with the eggs, leaving the flavors of the filling to shine, just like they should.
The classic Tuscan French Toast was light, fluffy and irresistibly good.
The Buttermilk Pancakes were a little disappointing, overcooked and lacking flavor. Be sure to ask for the pure maple syrup, which was not offered with the pancakes, but definitely worth the extra few dollars for pure Maine syrup.
The Applewood smoked bacon Jon ordered as a side with the pancakes was cooked crispy, as ordered, with a nice smokey taste.
The old-school atmosphere of the Bintliff was much to be enjoyed. We definitely recommend it as a breakfast place for omelet and French toast lovers alike.
What's your favorite brunch food??

The average trip to the supermarket is costing much more than before - which means that some people have been forced to drastically cut back on their food consumption.
Many households have been hit so hard by rising food prices that they are skipping meals, a new survey reported in the Sun newspaper shows.
Barclays and children's charity NCH released a joint survey yesterday, which found that 12 percent of people have gone hungry in this way recently - a figure which goes up to 19 percent among vulnerable low-income groups.
Rising food and energy prices have been the primary drivers behind increases to the government's own inflation benchmark, the Consumer Price Index. This rate has risen to 3.8 percent on its most recent monthly reading: a full 1.8 percent above target.
In addition, recent research from pollsters ICM shows that families with two or three children have seen their food bills increase by 21 percent over the last 12 months.
Clare Tickell at NCH said: "There's no doubt that everyone is feeling the pinch and that those on the lowest incomes are suffering most. But once you get behind the headlines it's not all doom and gloom.
"NCH supports thousands of families up and down the country. Many tell us how they are feeling the pinch at the moment and that it can be a struggle to feed themselves on the tightest of budgets."

Strong sales aren't the only reason Apple has to rejoice. The European Commission has dropped two antitrust investigations concerning Apple's iPhone after the Cupertino-based company reversed two policies that raised the regulator's ire.
The changes to Apple's rules include allowing developers to use third-party tools for creating apps for iOS devices. The company also tweaked its policies on cross-border warranty repair of computers and iOS products so that customers who bought a product in one EU country won't encounter difficulties having it fixed under warranty in another EU region.
In a statement released this weekend, the Commission said: "In light of its preliminary antitrust investigation into Apple's iPhone policies, European Competition Commissioner Joaquín Almunia welcomes Apple's announcement that it has relaxed restrictions on the development tools for iPhone applications (apps) and introduced cross-border iPhone warranty repair services within the EU/EEA. The latter in particular puts an end to the difficulties experienced by European consumers who need repair services for an iPhone purchased in a Member State other than their country of residence. In light of these policy changes, the Commission intends to close the investigations into these matters."
This spring, the Commission launched its two preliminary investigations into Apple's business practices relating to the iPhone. But this isn't the first time Apple has been investigated by the Commission. Three years ago, the EU began investigating Apple for antitrust violations related to the pricing of music sold through the iTunes store.
The antitrust allegations arose from how Apple charges a different price in the iTunes store for the same content across different countries. This action, according to the EU, unfairly penalizes consumers in countries where the content is more expensive. For example, in the U.S. a track on iTunes costs $0.99, but throughout the Eurozone, a track sets you back €0.99, while in the U.K. a track costs £0.79. However, $0.99 converts out to roughly €0.74 and £0.50 respectively.
Apple settled the dispute in January of 2008 by lowering the price on music at its U.K. iTunes Store to match already standardized pricing for iTunes in other countries in Europe.

Amazing people, hot topics, wild outdoors - get more from David Whiting
Stronger, better, lighter.
That's what we all want in our outdoor gear.
And with ever-changing technology, those three values can be applied to all kinds of equipment.
Except for freeze-dried food.
So if you're getting gifts for someone relatively new to the outdoors or buying for the veteran who seems to have everything, here are some suggestions to make excursions into the wilderness safer and more enjoyable.
So what's my beef with freeze-dried beef stew?
I recently was at 12,600 feet in the High Sierra, when my climbing partner starting waxing about the latest in freeze-dried food. It's nothing like 15 years ago, he said. It's terrific, he said.
By the time I waited the requisite five minutes for boiling water to work its magic in the handy container-bag, my mouth was tingling in anticipation.
Same old crunchy, tough glop. On the trail, give me noodles for dinner and instant oatmeal for breakfast.
Let's get started with some hard-tested equipment; things I use as well as things I've researched – to the point my wife thinks I've long ago bought something I'm still researching.
Cost: $40-$350.
What: Softshell jackets aren't as insulated as fleece jackets or down jackets stuffed with fluffy feathers. They're also less windproof and less waterproof than hardshell jackets.
Still, softshells came out a few years ago for a variety of reasons. They're supposedly less noisy and more comfortable than hardshells.

Cyber Symposium 2013 Online Show Daily, Day 3
Gen. Keith Alexander, USA, who directs the National Security Agency (NSA) and commands U.S. Cyber Command, wrapped up the final day of the AFCEA International Cyber Symposium with a strongly-worded defense of the U.S. intelligence community, which is under fire following recently-leaked documents concerning the collection of data on the online activities of ordinary citizens in the United States and abroad. The general deviated from the topic of cyber long enough to address the controversy.
The NSA director said intelligence community employees protect the nation and civil liberties simultaneously. "These leaks have inflamed and sensationalized for ignoble purposes the work the intelligence community does lawfully under strict oversight and compliance. If you want to know who who's acting nobly, look at the folks at NSA, FBI, CIA, and the Defense Department who defend our nation every day and do it legally and protect our civil liberties and privacy. They take an oath to our constitution—to uphold and defend that constitution," he said. "They're the heroes our nation should be looking at."
During the question and answer session, Gen. Alexander also praised contractors who work for the intelligence community. "From my perspective, we couldn't do our job without the contractors or the help we get from industry. That's been absolutely superb. One individual has betrayed our trust and confidence, and that shouldn't be a reflection on everybody else," he stated.
In fact, he said, the United States government is one of the best in the world at protecting data on individuals. "Most nations around the world collect signals intelligence just like we do. And they're governments use lawful intercept efforts that require and compel companies to provide the requested information. I think our nation is among the best at protecting our privacy and civil liberties," he opined.
The U.S. Navy has programmed change into its $3.45 billion Next-Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) contract.
The United States is one of the best in the world at protecting civil liberties, Gen. Keith Alexander, USA, director of National Security Agency (NSA) and commander of the U.S. Cyber Command said at the AFCEA Cyber Symposium in Baltimore.
Edward Snowden, the NSA contractor who leaked reams of data about NSA monitoring activities to the press, has been called a hero whistleblower by some, but Gen. Alexander contends that the employees at the NSA, FBI, CIA and Defense Department, who protect the nation while protecting civil liberties, are the real heroes.
As he has before, Gen. Alexander said the leaks have done irreparable harm to national security. "Public discussion of the NSA's trade craft or the tools that support its operation provides insights that our adversaries—to include terrorists—can and do use to hide their activities. Those who wish us harm now know how we counter their actions. These leaks have caused significant and irreversible damage to our nation's security. Historically, every time a capability is revealed, we lose our ability to track those targets," he said. "What is going on with these leaks is unconscionable in my opinion."
Gen. Alexander pointed out that approved processes exist for whistleblowers to express concern, and he pointed out that Snowden leaked information to the press rather than following those approved processes. "There are lawful and legitimate mechanisms to raise concerns about these programs. The NSA, the Defense Department and the director of national intelligence all have investigator generals who are in a position to do this. An individual acting nobly would have chosen one of those to voice his concerns," he declared.
He also repeated claims that the monitoring programs have helped protect the United States and its allies on 54 occasions. He added that a recent oversight report found zero instances where the monitoring programs led to civil liberty violations.
The U.S. Navy will announce the winner of the Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) tonight, according to Brig. Gen. Kevin Nally, USMC, Marine Corps director of command, control, communications and computers and chief information officer. Gen. Nally discussed the pending decision while participating in a panel discussion on the final day of the AFCEA International Cyber Symposium in Baltimore.
NGEN is expected to be a multi-billion contract and will replace the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) network implemented about a decade ago. The NGEN contract differs substantially from that of NMCI. The NMCI contract called for a commercial firm to determine and provide network services to the Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps. For NGEN, the government wields control over the network.
The Marine Corps officially took full control of its network from contractors this month, and feedback from around the world has been positive, Gen. Nally indicated. "As of June 1, we became a government-owned, government-operated environment. That means we have more control of the network. We tell the contractors what to do, when to do it and how to do it. The perception throughout the Marine Corps from Okinawa to Europe, Korea, and around the world is that we're getting things done more efficiently and effectively, and we've given flexibility back to the commanders," Gen. Nally said.
The Marine general reminded the audience that the service started a few years ago to collapse five major unclassified networks into one under the Marine Corps Network Unification Plan. The plan should be complete in the next few years. "That is in full support of the Joint Information Network effort. We're key players in that," Gen. Nally said.
Cyber Symposium 2013 Online Show Daily, Day 2
The Joint Information Environment (JIE) took center stage during the second day of the AFCEA International Cyber Symposium in Baltimore. The conference devoted one full panel to the joint environment, but presenters throughout the day stressed the JIE's importance to the future of the U.S. military and coalition partners, discussed some of the challenges to achieving the vision and vowed that the department will make it happen despite any remaining obstacles.
The JIE is not a program and does not have a budget, some presenters pointed out. It is, instead, a construct what will eventually consolidate all of the Defense Department's networks into one single, global network, improving interoperability, increasing operational efficiency, enhancing situational awareness and ultimately saving costs.
The United States has been working with the so-called "five eye" nations—which also include Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom—to implement a Joint Information Environment capability, Lt. Gen. Mark Bowman, U.S. Army director for command, control, communications and computers for the joint staff, told the audience. The five countries have agreed to share intelligence.
Gen. Bowman described the tactical end of JIE as the Mission Partner Environment. The Mission Partner Environment is essentially the same thing as the Afghan Future Network, which is the preferred terminology within NATO. "We've been working this hardest with the five eyes, and we have come up with a system that we're using today so that we can exchange email and files from our national secret network to their national secret networks," Gen. Bowman reported. "We just started that this past year. It's a resounding success, it continues to grow, and we're putting the rigor into it. That's the way we need to run forward. We can't be designing a new network."
Although pockets of resistance still exist, leaders in the Defense Department and military services largely agree on the need for a Joint Information Environment, according to panelists at the AFCEA International Cyber Symposium in Baltimore. The JIE will one day consolidate all of the department's myriad networks into one while providing enterprise services, such as email, Internet access, common software applications and cloud computing. It is expected to increase operational efficiency, enhance network security and provide cost savings through reduced infrastructure and manpower.
Anthony Valletta, an independent consultant, led the panel with lessons he learned while serving as the assistant secretary of defense for command, control, communications and intelligence the Pentagon. "Don't tell anyone about the savings you're going to get because the comptrollers will take the money within two minutes after you've made the announcement," and "get the buy-in from the services," he warned.
The panelists agreed that buy-in mostly exists already. Lt. Gen. Mark Bowman, USA, director of command, control, communications and computers for the joint staff, offered some blunt comments on the JIE. He indicated that the joint environment is his highest priority and described the joint environment as the way to the future. "We have no choice. We have to be interoperable day one, phase one, to plug into any operation anywhere in the world, whether it be for homeland defense, disaster relief here in the United States or some combat operation somewhere around the world with coalition partners," Gen. Bowman declared.
Lt. Gen. Susan Lawrence, U.S. Army chief information officer, spoke passionately about the need for JIE, calling it "absolutely essential." Gen. Lawrence said the real attraction of JIE for the warfighter is that "we've got to be able to deploy on little notice into any austere environment."
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is undergoing a substantial organizational restructuring, which is mostly complete and will be "set in concrete" July 15th. The reorganization will ensure the agency can support the military services, the joint staff, and all warfighting customers as the military moves to the Joint Information Environment, said Lt. Gen. Ronnie Hawkins, USAF, DISA director.
The reorganization includes consolidating budgeting-related organizations under the office of the comptroller. The agency also has established a customer resource management office for customer outreach and is looking to optimize operational offices. Additionally, DISA has created a Joint Technical Synchronization Office that will "work hand-in-glove" with the agency's JIE office that is designed to help the agency move toward the JIE as expeditiously as possible.
The moves have taken place over the past month and will be complete next month.
Gen. Hawkins made the announcement while during his luncheon keynote address on the second day of the AFCEA International Cyber Symposium.
The U.S. Defense Department is building a single security architecture that ultimately will eliminate firewalls in the future, according to Lt. Gen. Ronnie Hawkins Jr., USAF, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) director.
The future architecture, the plans for which are not yet set in stone and will likely change, the general cautioned, will be designed to protect data rather than networks. "In the past, we've all been about protecting our networks—firewall here, firewall there, firewall within a service, firewall within an organization, firewalls within DISA. We've got to remove those and go to protecting the data. You can move that data in a way that it doesn't matter if you're on a classified or unclassified network, depending on someone's credentials and their need to know," he declared.
"We want to be able to normalize our networks to where you can have the collaboration and information moving over our networks and you don't have to have the different firewalls, the separate networks, to get those things done," he added. Additionally, the department can realize significant savings in instrumentation—for example, by moving from "hard phones" to "soft phones," he said.
Gen. Hawkins stressed the importance of getting "the information to the soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, wherever it is they may be."
The single security architecture will improve command and control capabilities, including cyber command and control, he said.
He also discussed the importance of cloud computing. The Defense Department is in the infant stage of deciding how to build the cloud and whether to use a private, public or Defense Department-owned cloud. "We want to do that in fiscal year 14 so that all of this can be automated, and we're working feverishly to get that done," he said.
Lt. Gen. Ronnie Hawkins Jr., USAF, director of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), spent some time during his luncheon keynote address talking about the Joint Information Environment (JIE), which the agency already has been working on for some time.
For example, DISA is consolidating data centers from 194 to about 12. Additionally, DISA has helped transition the Army to the enterprise email system. The Army was the first service to move to enterprise email, which officials project will save millions of dollars. The agency is now working with other services, agencies and organizations within the Defense Department to move them toward the new email service, as well. "In fact, at the end of this week, we're going to be meeting [with the Office of the Secretary of Defense] to begin their migration to the enterprise email. It is working. It is very much a part of everything that we do," Gen. Hawkins reported.
He revealed that the agency also has a number of pilot programs focused on the integration of voice, data and video. "Everything over [Internet protocol] is where we are going. We are looking at a unified capability being released out of DISA in fiscal year 2015," he stated.
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) will likely announce within the next couple of weeks who will operate the Defense Department's mobile app store, said Lt. Gen. Ronnie Hawkins Jr., USAF, DISA director.
The general, delivering the keynote address during the Wednesday luncheon at the AFCEA International Cyber Symposium in Baltimore, described mobile as a disruptive technology for the Defense Department. The agency has distributed secure mobile phones across the department for accessing secure email and other critical services. "It is a game changer from how we've been moving information before," Gen. Hawkins said. "We have been going through that competitive process, and we're about to release the name of where it is we're going with that. I can't tell you who that is because our folks are still working that at the contractual level. I believe that will be done in the next couple of weeks," he revealed.

Rap-Up TV: Jhené Aiko Calls Drake Her 'Musical Soulmate'
Jhené Aiko has found her match in Drake. During Power 106′s "Valentine's Crush" concert in L.A., the "Bed Peace" singer opened up about her connection with the Canadian rapper, who she collaborated and toured with last year.
"I think that he is probably like my musical soulmate," she told Rap-Up TV. "I just feel like our voices compliment each other, our writing styles, all of that."
Last month, Jhené joined Drake while performing "From Time" on "SNL." "I'm not really used to cameras yet and TV performance-type things, so I was just like super nervous," she admitted. "I think it came out good."
She also hinted at more collaborations to come. "I would love to do a full project with him. I think that it would be really dope," revealed Jhené, who's already had discussions with Drake about a potential album.
Following the success of her EP Sail Out, she is gearing up for the summer release of her full-length debut Souled Out. But unlike her EP, she is not focused on features.
"I just wrote the songs from top to bottom, but if someone hears a song and they feel like they can contribute and it makes sense, then I'll definitely make room—if they can do it before the summer."Tweet

Fire At North Side Building Extinguished
(WGN-AM)- Chicago firefighters quickly put out a fire on the roof of a North Side building caused by a propane tank explosion that sent up plumes of dark smoke into the air, officials said.
Larry Langford, a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department, said the fire was struck out about 20 minutes after the alarm was sounded about 11:20 a.m.
The fire was contained to the roof of a building at 3500 North Lake Shore Drive. There were no injuries reported, he said. The structure was described as a four-to-five story courtyard building.
Langford said workers were on the roof but it was unclear what they were doing. A propane tank exploded, he said. Officials are investigating the blaze.

Mayo Clinic's ambitious expansion plans for Rochester are one step closer to becoming a reality.
The Minnesota House voted 69 to 64 to approver funding for Mayo Clinic's Destination Medical Center proposal on Wednesday as part of a sweeping tax bill. The 20-year plan requires Mayo Clinic to invest $200 million before state dollars would begin to flow for public infrastructure projects in Rochester. The local community would be required to contribute $128 million toward the project. The county would be on the hook for an additional $33 million for transportation upgrades.
House DMC bill sponsor Kim Norton, DFL-Rochester, said the project will create an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 direct jobs, up to 15,000 in indirect jobs and up 2,200 annual construction jobs.
"This is probably the largest economic development opportunity anywhere in the country," she said.
But not all the lawmakers in the Rochester-area delegation agreed the tax bill was worth supporting — even if the DMC project is in it. Rep. Duane Quam, R-Byron, said while there may be some good provisions in the bill, the damage caused by tax increases in the bill outweigh any potential benefits.
"This is a stone cold, job killing bill," he said.
The House tax bill raises $2.6 billion in revenue and includes raising taxes on wealthier Minnesotans, alcohol, cigarettes, sports memorabilia and silica-sand mining. It creates a fourth-tier 8.49 percent rate on couples with a taxable income of more than $400,000 and single filers with taxable income of $226,200. It also imposes a two-year, 4 percent income surcharge on taxable income over more than $500,000. Taxes would be boosted by $1.60 a pack for cigarettes and 7 cents a drink on alcoholic beverages. Those additional dollars would be used to close the state's $627 million budget gap, pay back $854 million borrowed from K-12 schools and provides $250 million in property tax relief.

Tell us the Good Stuff!
Leon Robinson: Being The Best Him That He Can Be
I started watching Leon when I saw him in the music video " Like A Prayer" a song by the legendary Madonna. I had always loved the song, but the video was awesome because Leon was the male lead. I asked Leon, " How was it working with Madonna?" Leon states, " Working with Madonna was great. She was very sweet, generous and fun to be around." Leon began acting, according to his mother, when he was four years old. I bet he was quite the character. He started acting when he was in college on a basketball scholarship. When he said this I was very surprised because I never knew that Leon played the sport. One of his friends asked him to be in one of his movies. His first answer was, " Well, why me?" The person responded, " He liked the way that Leon carried himself and acted in public." Leon states, " I felt very comfortable doing the film." Since then Leon has been in several films such as Above The Rim, Cliffhanger, Cool Running's (such a classic), The Women Of Brewster's Place and more. He even had a cameo in the film, B.A.P.S. Y'all remember the infamous scene when Halle Berry spots Leon as he plays himself and jumps in his arms. I'll just say Halle was lucky! Halle, I want to exhale too!
One of my absolute favorite movies that Leon plays in is " The Five Heartbeats". I mean JT was and is still the man! There is a little rumor going around saying that there is going to be a part two. Of course I asked Leon about the alleged film and he says while laughing, " You're going to have to ask my brother "Duck". But if there is a part 2 coming, Leon will definitely play his role. His words were, " Come one now, of course I'll be in it." My favorite scene in the movie is when…well I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. I'm telling you, you have no idea what you are missing. I must give a shout out to Robert Townsend and Keenen Ivory Wayans you guys wrote a great script! As a screenwriter myself, I truly love the creativity you guys had when writing the script and the cast couldn't have been a better one!
What other talents does he have? Well, Leon has his own music group! Yes, "Leon and The Peoples"! When doing my research, I came across one of the music videos. Sadly to say, I didn't know he had a group. When I asked how long his group had been out, Leon said, it's been over ten years. Now being a new fan of his group I will say that I loved the song and video " Life Is A Funny Game". The lyrics are powerful and the video is realistic. I saw a familiar face in the video as well Ms. Vivica Fox! Leon and The Peoples have been traveling around the country and they are currently putting out singles! Speaking of singles, " Love Is A Beautiful Thing" is one of singles and let me tell you it's very powerful and sends a positive message especially for our youth in my opinion. If you haven't heard it purchase it on I-tunes! Leon and the peoples will be touring again soon in the upcoming year.
Leon also went to the school of the arts and learned a lot about acting and music. One of the things that stood out to me the most from our interview was that he stated he didn't have a hard transition from film to music. Leon says, " If you sing, you sing, if you act, you act. When actors are acting, they are portraying different parts on screen so why wouldn't they have more then one talent." After he said that I thought, " You know what, he's absolutely right!"
His career isn't just about his movie and music. Leon inspires others to follow their dream. I asked him what advice did he have for aspiring authors and he responds with, " Truly apply yourself, you really have to work hard to be the best that you can be and also be the best you that you can be." What a great way to pay it forward. I must say that I can't wait to see the new films that he's doing. He will be in a romantic drama called " And Then It Was You" with Grant White and Lynn Whitfield, a film titled " Soul Ties", and " I Really Need My Ex" and he just wrapped a film that will be coming out soon! I asked Leon what was his favorite movie that he's done and he says, " The movie that you like the most is my favorite movie. I make movies for you the fans, beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
I really enjoyed interviewing Leon. He is humble, genuine and an all around great guy. We laughed and had great conversation that it didn't feel like an interview at all! His movies are memorable and his voice is captivating . This is one person that sincerely loves all that he does! As he continues to follow his dreams, I will always be a fan.
" A lot of songs are made, a lot of movies are made, but there are very few that we remember."~ Leon
Leon's music can be found on I-tunes.

We affirm that the family is a school of deeper humanity; within which each member learns best what it means to be a human person. There, each member of the human family, from conception to natural death, experiences the gift of unconditional, enduring love. Thus each human person is carefully taught by the family to be responsible, to commit, to share, and to love.
~ WYA Declaration on the Family
The ELC is an annual weekend long conference, which brings together our top young leaders from across Canada and the United States. The purpose of the ELC is to provide a forum for young people to vigorously engage, discuss, and debate the pressing issues of today, in light of the mission and vision of WYA. REGISTER HERE FOR THE CONFERENCE.
This year, WYA North America will partner with International Arts Forum to present our three-day conference:
Mad Men, Modern Family: Examining the Role of Men in Social Development
As we look around the world today, we are bombarded with views of cool, suave, sexy, disinterested, men, mistaking the pursuit of pleasure for the pursuit of happiness. But what does this mean for the future of men and the family?
This year's ELC seeks to provide an alternative to contemporary myths of masculinity. Arts professionals will be joined by scholars in sociology and religious studies to reflect on building authentic human relationships that mitigate loneliness and isolation, thus contributing to stronger families and communities. By equipping young people with the knowledge they need to critically evaluate contemporary cultural norms, it is our hope that this year's ELC will serve to affirm the role of men, the important role that men play in the context of the family, and the value of the family to the flourishing of society. We hope you will join us!

Jennifer Connelly finds 'Noah' close to the tale
By CINDY PEARLMAN For Sun-Times Media March 26, 2014 5:58PM
Jennifer Connelly stars opposite Russell Crowe in "Noah." | Paramount Pictures
Related Stories
Updated: March 26, 2014 7:54PM
NEW YORK — She began her acting career at age 11. What has sustained Jennifer Connelly is the fact that her job isn't just skin deep. "It's like a personal archeological dig each time I find a project and a character I love," she says. "I always want to dig deeper and explore what makes this person feel."
The 43-year-old New York native, who began her career in 1984 with the film "Once Upon a Time in America," now is finding her expression in another historical tale. She plays Naameh, the wife of Russell Crowe's title character in the religious epic "Noah" (opening Friday).
It's her second movie about miracles this year.
"I've never seen a flying horse in real life, which happens in one of my movies, 'Winter's Tale.' I've only been on a movie ark.
"But I have seen things that are miraculous to me," she says. "Even though this might sound like a horrible cliche, I have three children and they're each miracles to me."
Connelly worked with "Noah" director Darren Aronofsky on the harrowing drug-addiction drama "Requiem for a Dream" (2000).
"This movie is like nothing Darren Aronofsky has ever done before," she says. "It's an epic in every sense of the word. It's a very rich telling of this important story."
Though leaked drafts of the script prompted some outcry about "Noah's" fidelity to Scripture, Connelly says that she doesn't understand the controversy.
"It's true to the spirit of the Bible," she says. "Most of the controversy was generated by people who hadn't seen the film yet. There are also so many religious leaders who are really supporting the project."
She relished the idea of reuniting with Crowe after playing his wife in the 2001 film "A Beautiful Mind" and winning the best supporting actress Oscar.
"I love working with Russell," says Connelly. "He's a true professional and a great actor. People say he's intense, but I can also be intense. I love that he doesn't take anything for granted. It's all about doing what's best for the role."
Connelly makes her home in New York City with her husband, actor Paul Bettany, and their two children, Stellan, 10, and Agnes, 2- ½. She also has a son Kai, 16, with photographer David Dugan.
She stays out of the spotlight when she's not working.
"I'm happy to talk about my movies when they come out. Otherwise, I enjoy leading a private life just like anyone else. We're very normal."
Having two actors in the family doesn't matter. "We don't sit around and talk shop. Our life is about our kids."
"In my opinion, there is nothing I've experienced that's more powerful and magical than this love," she says of her family life. "I have a lot of love around me, which makes me really, really lucky."

Metrolink's Mission, Values and History
To provide an outstanding passenger experience on every ride with safe, clean, dependable, and on-time operations.
People: Everything we do demonstrates an appreciation for quality of life, and every act values the lives of our employees, contractor co-workers, customers and communities.
Safety: Safety is foundational.
Quality: We operate on best practices and principles with a continued focus on providing high quality service to our customers every day on every ride.
Efficiency: As responsible stewards of public funds, we embrace innovative solutions and continuous improvement for the lowest cost and most efficient operations.
Growth: We continuously seek creative, progressive and collaborative solutions to promote investment, develop partnerships and increase capacity to improve the mobility of Southern Californians.
Metrolink is governed by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), a joint powers authority that was formed in 1991 and comprises five county agencies that were tasked with reducing highway congestion and improving mobility throughout Southern California: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Orange County Transportation Authority, Riverside County Transportation Commission, San Bernardino Associated Governments and Ventura County Transportation Commission. SCRRA created Metrolink in October 1992 to fill a void in Southern California's transportation infrastructure. Our organization has served as the link between six Southern California counties by providing commuters seamless transportation connectivity options. Metrolink has grown tremendously during our 20 years in service, expanding from three service lines, 11 stations and 2,300 daily boardings to seven service lines, 55 stations and 44,000 daily boardings, all over a 512 route-mile network.
Amtrak, one of our major contractors, supplies the train and engine crews who operate our trains. Amtrak was a Metrolink contractor since our 1992 inception until 2005 when we awarded a contract to Connex.
Since 2008, Metrolink implemented several safety enhancements in its mission to become the safest commuter railroad in the nation. They include:

Editor's note: Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield co-founded Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Ben is the founder and Head Stamper at the StampStampede.org campaign, whose goal is to help build the movement to amend the Constitution to get money out of politics. Jerry is president of the Ben & Jerry's Foundation and promotes the company's social and environmental initiatives.
(CNN) -- A modern-day David and Goliath story is unfolding in Washington state over whether you have the right to know what's in the food you purchase. The outcome will likely have national implications.
What's at stake is I-522, the initiative that would mandate labeling food that is genetically modified. In support, you have a large grassroots movement that includes farmers and ranchers, fishermen, business owners and consumers. On the other side, you have a handful of large corporations such as Monsanto, Dupont and Dow that are fueling the food fight by spending millions of dollars to stop the people's right to know.
For Ben and myself, it's simple -- being honest with your customers is the foundation of good business. Companies ought to be proud of the ingredients they use and the products they sell, and they ought to be happy to disclose what's in those products.
About 60% to 70% of processed foods contain laboratory-grown, genetically modified ingredients known as GMOs -- genetically modified organisms. According to a New York Times poll released in July, 93% of Americans want labels on food with GMOs.
Eatocracy: How is genetically modified food labeled?
GMO labeling is being considered in almost 30 states. Maine and Connecticut have passed mandatory GMO labeling laws. But in a political system where money talks, too often the people are silenced.
According to analysis from Maplight.org, a similar initiative failed in California last year after opponents spent $46 million -- five times more than proponents. In Washington, supporters of labeling have raised money from more than 13,000 contributors, with the median donation of $25 a pop. The opposition, on the other hand, has raised money from 10 donors, with the average donation of $545,827. As a result, the citizens who support labeling are being outspent three to one.
If I-522 passes in Washington, it would be the first no-strings-attached legislation for mandatory labeling. And that's a good thing. It would create the momentum and the precedent for more states and federal protections to follow. In other words, it would be another big win for David.
Residents of Washington have a big opportunity to vote yes on I-522 and turn the tide on labeling laws. In the long term, we need to level the playing field by reducing the amount of money that big corporations spend influencing legislation and elections.
While I've been in Washington lending my voice to Yes on I-522 , Ben has been traveling around the country with StampStampede.org -- a grassroots movement of tens of thousands of people who are legally stamping messages on dollars that say "Not to be Used for Bribing Politicians" to support the national movement to #GetMoneyOut of politics. Momentum is building.
The use of GMO ingredients in food is similar to the issue of money in politics. At the very least, there should be transparency and disclosure.
People deserve to know what ingredients are in their food and whose money is being spent to influence the laws. In the best-case scenario, we should get big money out of politics, stop big corporations from influencing our laws and reclaim our republic for "We the People."
