Immigration: 'We're going as far as we possibly can without Congress acting'

Obama Moves To Protect Millions From Deportation
WASHINGTON — In the boldest move on immigration policy of his presidency, President Barack Obama announced plans Thursday evening to dramatically increase deportation relief for an estimated 4.4 million undocumented immigrants. The executive action will protect parents, as well as those who came to the U.S. as children and others with long-standing ties to the country, from being forced out of their homes.
Oh, the quote at the top of this post? President George W. Bush's press secretary Dana Perino, describing the Bush administration's executive action on immigration in 2007.
Tom Engelhardt: ISIS Can Thank Washington
Posted by Richard Warnick in 9/11, al Qaeda, Barack Obama, Bush Failures, Disaster, Foreign Policy, Iraq, ISIS, Military, National Politics, Terrorism, War on September 2, 2014
At this point, I think everyone has finally realized that following the al-Qaeda game plan post-9/11 didn't turn out well. The aim of strategy is to force the enemy to conform to your will. Al-Qaeda had a strategy, and we really didn't. The Bush administration sent our military to chase after who-knows-who in some 60 countries. When President Obama says, "we don't have a strategy yet" to avoid spending more trillions and more American lives to give ISIS exactly what they want, he is stating a fact.
Tom Engelhardt (emphasis added):
Though the militants of ISIS would undoubtedly be horrified to think so, they are the spawn of Washington. Thirteen years of regional war, occupation, and intervention played a major role in clearing the ground for them. They may be our worst nightmare (thus far), but they are also our legacy — and not just because so many of their leaders came from the Iraqi army we disbanded, had their beliefs and skills honed in the prisons we set up (Camp Bucca seems to have been the West Point of Iraqi extremism), and gained experience facing U.S. counterterror operations in the "surge" years of the occupation. In fact, just about everything done in the war on terror has facilitated their rise. After all, we dismantled the Iraqi army and rebuilt one that would flee at the first signs of ISIS's fighters, abandoning vast stores of Washington's weaponry to them. We essentially destroyed the Iraqi state, while fostering a Shia leader who would oppress enough Sunnis in enough ways to create a situation in which ISIS would be welcomed or tolerated throughout significant areas of the country.
"Blowback" can't even begin to describe a strategic failure of this magnitude. It would be nice to think that the Obama administration has the intelligence and fortitude to design a new strategy that goes beyond "don't do stupid shit." I don't think that. Nobody in Washington is prepared to call the Global War on Terror an utter failure, or admit that ISIS could not have triumphed without our help. It's reasonable to predict the USA will keep doing the same thing (if only for lack of a better idea), hoping for different results.

President Obama: 'We Tortured Some Folks'… And We Still Do
Posted by Richard Warnick in Barack Obama, Bush Administration, Hypocrisy, Iraq, National Politics, This Blog, Torture, Transparency on August 4, 2014
Last Friday, President Obama informed a White House press conference that the U.S. government has engaged in torture as a matter of policy. Not that he plans to do anything about that. In fact, he hasn't even banned every torture technique in use by the CIA and the military.
"We tortured some folks," he said. "We did some things that were contrary to our values. I understand why it happened. I think it's important when we look back to recall how afraid people were after the twin towers fell, and the Pentagon had been hit, and a plane in Pennsylvania had fallen, and people did not know whether more attacks were imminent, and there was enormous pressure on our law-enforcement and our national security teams to try to deal with this."
The fallacy here, whether or not it's intentional, lies in the fact that torture (in addition to being a crime under federal law) is not an intelligence interrogation technique. The experts will all tell you that torture is good for one thing only: extracting false confessions. The Bush administration employed torture to get some detainees to say what they wanted to hear, namely that Saddam Hussein's regime was tied in with al-Qaeda. For example the torture of Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, a Libyan national captured in Afghanistan in November 2001, provided false information regarding chemical weapons training between Iraq and al-Qaeda that was used by the Bush Administration in their efforts to justify the illegal invasion of Iraq. Al-Libi recanted in January 2004. This sort of thing is what they now call "faulty intelligence" instead of lies.
President Obama is getting credit simply for using the dreaded "T" word that the media usually avoid by talking about American "enhanced interrogation techniques." Of course reporters are not afraid say "torture" to describe what China does to prisoners, for example, even if it's the exact same thing the CIA did.
On FDL, Jeff Kaye picks up on something important. Here's what else the president said, referring to the still-secret Senate Select Committee torture report (emphasis added):
And it's important for us not to feel too sanctimonious in retrospect about the tough job that those folks had. And a lot of those folks were working hard under enormous pressure and are real patriots.
But having said all that, we did some things that were wrong. And that's what that report reflects. And that's the reason why, after I took office, one of the first things I did was to ban some of the extraordinary interrogation techniques that are the subject of that report.
Kaye notes:
Only "some of the extraordinary interrogation techniques"? Not all? Was this merely a slip of the tongue by the President? No one in the press corp seemed to notice, and no one took him up on the issue… though it is very much worth noting that Jeremy Scahill reported in July 2011 on the CIA's continuing use of black sites and torture in an important article in The Nation. Others had surmised as much even earlier.
Apparently President Obama, whether he meant to or not, has confirmed for the record that torture is still practiced by the U.S. government.

Kerry Caught On Hot Mic Mocking Precision Of Israeli Strikes As Gaza Operation Intensifies
Posted by Richard Warnick in Disaster, Israel, National Politics, War, War Crimes on July 21, 2014
Via FDL:
Secretary of State John Kerry, who was on every network political show over the weekend justifying Israel's actions in Gaza, was caught on a hot mic giving a very different assessment. Kerry said "It's a hell of a pinpoint operation," while talking to an aide on the phone, mocking the accuracy of Israel's weapons strikes which Israel claims are limited and precise.
Precision is of course one thing, while accuracy is another thing. A bomb, missile, or tank round can precisely hit the wrong target. Which is what is happening, inevitably, in Gaza. Israeli air strikes and artillery fire have hit civilian homes, mosques, and hospitals. Ambulances have been destroyed.

The result of the resolution – which passed despite the US' no vote – will be a UN probe into how Israel is using force in Gaza, particularly against civilians. Of the 732 Palestinians now reported killed from Operation Protective Edge an estimated 80% have been civilians.
More than 1,000 people, mainly civilians, have been killed and more than 6,000 have been wounded over the past 19 days, al-Kidra said. Israeli strikes have destroyed hundreds of homes, including close to 500 in targeted hits, and forced tens of thousands of people to flee, according to Palestinian rights groups.
These Children Are Refugees
Posted by Richard Warnick in American People, Barack Obama, Bush Administration, Foreign Policy, Immigration, National Politics, This Blog on July 16, 2014
Damian Dovarganes/AP
Several days of cable TV news watching haven't answered the question that's on my mind. Why are we even debating this? Desperate children, many of them unaccompanied, have been forced to flee Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and other countries. We're expecting 74,000 to show up at our southern border this year.
On June 2, President Obama described it as an "urgent humanitarian situation," asking Congress for an additional $1.4 billion to deal with the influx and creating a multiagency taskforce, led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to coordinate the federal response.
These children are refugees from violence and poverty. However, it's been noted that essentially none of them come from Nicaragua, the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere after Haiti. Therefore poverty is a secondary factor. They're fleeing for their lives.
Yet some politicians want to have a debate about how fast we can send these kids back to their countries of origin to die. Tea-GOPers even want to deny them the right to a court hearing. At the same time, the U.S. is telling Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey to take in millions of refugees from the Syrian civil war.
Right-wingers and racists take note: No, these children don't have Ebola. That's a disease endemic in Africa– Ebola has never been reported in Latin America. What about other diseases? The migrants are better vaccinated than U.S. kids. The migrants are not hardened criminals, they are victims. They won't destroy our economy – the Tea-GOP and Wall Street already did that. No, President Obama didn't invite children to cross our border illegally – the law that guarantees due process for unaccompanied migrant children was signed by President Bush in 2008. It was uncontroversial at the time it was passed. The National Guard won't stop the kids from coming, but maybe they could provide humanitarian assistance. Your term of opprobrium against undocumented immigrants isn't spelled "ILEAGELS." Also, the policy you oppose is not "AMENSTY," or "AMNETY."

Politico's Roger Simon distorted President Obama's record to claim that his request for emergency funding to deal with the recent flood of unaccompanied minors crossing the border was tantamount to waking "from a deep slumber … to fight a problem he has ignored for years." In reality, Obama has supported legislation in the past that addressed many of the underlying issues but the legislation has been blocked by the GOP.
What's the worst that can happen?
Posted by Nathan Erkkila in American History, Bush Administration, Condolezza Rice, Conservative, Conservatives, Crimes, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Iraq, ISIS, Karl Rove, Neocons, Rumsfeld on July 6, 2014
This is a question that must have been asked 12 years ago when the US invaded Iraq. Well the initial predictions were positive. The war will be quick, cheap, we will be hailed as liberators, there will be peace, so on and so forth. Of course none of that happened. They were dead wrong, but even me when I witnessed the reports of chaos in Iraq, I could not comprehend that this would happen. What is the worst that can happen? ISIS can happen. The relatively new Islamic terrorist group is different from other organizations because they are successful. They have the oil fields, they are surrounding Baghdad, they have both Iraqi and American weapons in their inventory and they are gaining more ground. This is made worse by their tendency to be very destructive. So far, over 1,700 Iraqi troops have been executed. So yes, that is the worst that can happen and the Bush administration is completely at fault no matter how indirectly this is. Maybe this is a question Obama should consider, especially with an upcoming midterm and a country filled with pissed off liberals.
ISIS Declares Caliphate In Syria And Iraq
Posted by Richard Warnick in 9/11, Bush Failures, Disaster, Foreign Policy, Iraq, National Politics, Syria, War on June 30, 2014
ISIS declares caliphate – those little derrick symbols represent oil fields.
Osama bin Laden's vision of a Muslim caliphate in the Middle East is now a reality, thanks in large part to the USA. On Sunday morning, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) pronounced the reformation of the caliphate—the historical Islamic state that once stretched over much of the modern-day Muslim world—with ISIS emir Abu Bakr al Baghdadi as the man in charge.
Al Qaeda's strategy of trying to force a US overreaction with the 9/11 attack has proved considerably successful in destabilizing the regional regimes that opposed establishing a caliphate and promulgating fundamentalist Islamic law. …12 million people are estimated to live under the control of ISIS already and if the now declared caliphate continues its expansion it could be considerably more.
…Apparently using the US military to topple secular leaders did little to thwart the rise of Islamic extremism. In fact, it seems to have had the opposite effect.
Add to the "no one could have anticipated…" file. Which is getting pretty thick by now.
More info:

According to Bill Roggio of the Long War Journal, the proclamation of a caliphate was "a controversial move that is sure to send shockwaves throughout the jihadist world."
'Bidder 70′ On Netflix
Posted by Richard Warnick in Activist groups, Bush Administration, Climate Change, Democracy, Energy, Liberal, National Politics, Utah Politics on June 21, 2014
Tonight I watched the terrific documentary "Bidder 70″ (2012) by Beth & George Gage, that tells the story of what happened after Tim DeChristopher disrupted an illegal BLM oil & gas lease auction in the last days of the Bush administration, December 19, 2008. It's on Netflix now!
The message of the film is that in corporate-controlled America, the only power we have as individuals is the power of not backing down and not going away. DeChristopher provided everyone with a perfect example of how we can do that. That's why the PTB had to send him to federal prison. Not the Wall Street fraudsters who crashed the economy. Not the greedy oil companies who polluted the Gulf of Mexico. Not the right-wing protesters who defy the BLM by riding ATVs in the wilderness. Not the millionaire ranchers who refuse to pay their grazing fees on public land. Anybody who's onboard with the corporatist agenda has nothing to fear.
Judge Dee Benson actually admitted that he sentenced Tim DeChristopher to two years imprisonment not for anything he did ("bid-walking" in a BLM lease auction is so common they have a name for it, and it has never been prosecuted before) — it was for what he said. The First Amendment does not protect you if you go against Corporate America.
Calculated Risk Blog Retires The Scary Jobs Graph
Posted by Richard Warnick in Bush Administration, Bush Failures, Disaster, Economy, National Politics, Unemployment on June 19, 2014
With the May jobs report, the U.S. economy is now back to pre-recession levels of employment. It took more than six years to climb out of the hole George W. Bush put us in (by "us" I mean everyone except the Wall Street millionaires and billionaires who are guilty of precipitating the collapse of the financial sector). That's nearly as long as it took to recover from the Great Depression in the 1930s. On the Calculated Risk Blog, Bill McBride says, "I'll be retiring the graph many called the 'scariest jobs chart ever'."
Although employment numbers have come back, (1) That only gets us to the same number of jobs we had in 2007, not to where we would have been without Bush's Great Recession; (2) Unemployment would be higher than 6.3% if we counted the discouraged workers; and (3) Our economy has replaced too many living-wage jobs with low-wage jobs.
Jim Hightower, on AlterNet:
Employment rose by 217,000 jobs in the month of May, according to the latest jobs report — and that brought us up to 8.7 million. That is how many new jobs the American economy has generated since the "Great Recession" officially ended in 2009 — and it also happens to be the number of jobs that were lost because of that recession. You can break out the champagne, for the American economy is back, baby — all of the lost jobs have been recovered!
…Now, let's move on to the value of those jobs that have economists doing a happy dance. As a worker, you don't merely want to know that 217,000 new jobs are on the market; you want to know what they're worth — do they pay living wages, do they come with benefits, are they just part-time and temporary, do they include union rights, what are the working conditions, etc.? In other words, are these jobs … or scams?
So, it's interesting that the recent news of job market "improvement" doesn't mention that of the 10 occupation categories projecting the greatest growth in the next eight years, only one pays a middle-class wage. Four pay barely above poverty level and five pay beneath it, including fast-food workers, retail sales staff, health aids and janitors.
…To measure the job market by quantity — with no regard for quality — is to devalue workers themselves. Creating 217,000 new jobs is not a sign of economic health if each worker needs two or three of those jobs to patch together a barebones living — and millions more are left with no work at all.
Media Welcomes Back Consistently Wrong Iraq 'Experts'… Wolfowitz, Feith, Bremer, Kristol… Even Judith Miller!
Posted by Richard Warnick in 4th Estate (Media), Bush Administration, Iraq, National Politics, War on June 17, 2014
Via HuffPo: CNN's Erin Burnett Confronts Paul Bremer Over His Iraq Failures
This morning my breakfast was spoiled when Paul Wolfowitz — Paul Wolfowitz! came on MSNBC to pontificate about Iraq. I don't want to look at that guy, much less hear what he has to say about Iraq of all subjects!
I don't want to minimize the suffering of the Iraqi people, who are being shafted in the worst possible way by both the Maliki government and the ISIS insurgents, but there is something seriously wrong with our media when Doug Feith is treated as an expert on Iraq (by Politico). For those who don't remember, Feith was known as "the Undersecretary of Defense for Fiascoes." General Tommy Franks once described Feith as "the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth."
And Paul Bremer. Paul Bremer! The guy who started the Sunni insurgency in the first place by disbanding the old Iraqi government and dismissing their entire army without pay. He was on CNN (see video). I don't like Erin Burnett, but even she is smart enough to realize that Paul Bremer has no business giving anybody advice about Iraq.
We didn't miss Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, only because he never went away. Kristol infamously predicted the Iraq conflict was "going to be a two month war," (the war lasted approximately 104 months) and testifying in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee urging military action, he proclaimed that "American and alliance forces will be welcomed in Baghdad as liberators."
Ari Fleischer is back, too. As Press Secretary in the Bush administration, Fleischer was in charge of selling the illegal invasion of Iraq, claiming "there's no question that if force is used, it will achieve the objective of preserving the peace far faster than the current path that we're on."
Judith Miller, the NYT reporter who spun fanciful tales about Saddam's nonexistent arsenal of so-called "weapons of mass destruction," now appears on the Faux News Channel to talk about Iraq. Presumably they even pay her.
What is the matter with our news media?

The Problems in Iraq are Just More of Bush's Toxic Legacy

Ed Kilgore has a good rant on Bush's Toxic Legacy:
The mess in Iraq right now, along with the remarkably limited options for any constructive U.S. action to avoid humanitarian and political disaster, and the hostility of American public opinion to doing anything at all, provide fresh reminders that Barack Obama will leave office as he entered it: dealing with the unfinished business and toxic legacy of the George W. Bush administration. From Iraq, to Gitmo, to the NSA, to the housing sector, to the banking sector, to a completely fouled up non-system of campaign finance, to an out-of-control fossil fuel industry, to a long-range structural budget deficit, to a politicized judiciary, and to a radicalized Republican Party: the trouble never ends, and all created by a swaggering crew that inherited peace and prosperity and a budget surplus after the most dubious ascension to power in American history.
It's worth pondering isn't it?

Can anyone successfully review Inception? Critics are struggling to summarize Chris Nolan's complex, mind-bending summer blockbuster — often resorting to desperate analogies or just shrugging it off as indescribable. Here, a look at some of the most amusing attempts to encapsulate this multi-layered tale starring Leonardio DiCaprio as a brilliant "dream extractor":
"When was the last time you had your mind blown by a movie?"
"When Inception ends and the lights come up," says Elizabeth Weitzman at the New York Daily News, "you'll be sitting in your seat, staring at the screen, wondering what the hell just happened."
The movie's a sprawling exploration of... oh, why bother?
"Mr. Nolan has scripted a story that travels across six countries and just as many layers of human consciousness, says John Anderson in The Wall Street Journal. "The problem is, we don't know where we are most of the time. And we profoundly do not care."
Prepare for a physical reaction
During this "filmatic nirvana," says Adam Quigly at SlashFilm, "my eyes lit up; my hands clamped down; my pants swelled."
You may ache, but not in a good way
Attempting to understand Inception made my head hurt, says Owen Gleiberman at Entertainment Weekly. And, "going back to read [others'] reviews... has only made my head hurt more. It's not that [critics] haven't done a good job. It's that simply hearing that damned plot described over and over again" produces the same utter bewilderment as the movie itself did.
"Does this thing come with a manual?"
"If I tried to explain all the ins and outs of their adventure," says J. R. Jones at Chicago Reader, "reading this [review] would take as long as watching the movie."
I'm awed... and silenced
"There are no words" to describe this movie, says Max Bellamy at the Reel Loop blog. "For the first time, in a long, long while, I was left utterly speechless."

New Free Special Report From Bridgeline Digital Shows How To Implement A Successful Content Marketing Strategy
WOBURN, Mass., Dec. 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Companies that truly understand what kinds of content are most appealing to their audience, in what format, and where they want to consume it, are going to be the most successful in the ever evolving digital information age.
That's the opinion of Brett Zucker, Chief Technology Officer, and Becki Dilworth, Vice President of Digital Strategy, at Bridgeline Digital and co-authors of a new special report, " 10 Steps to a Successful Content Marketing Strategy." Bridgeline Digital is the developer of the award-winning iAPPS web engagement management product platform and interactive technology solutions.
"Everybody has the ability to be a publisher in the Web 2.0 world," says Dilworth. Digital content is increasingly everywhere - websites, ecommerce stores, blogs, social media outposts, and every mobile device imaginable. With companies investing in developing digital content like never before, consumers, along with business customers and prospects, are radically adjusting to this wealth of information. Unfortunately, many companies are missing valuable opportunities to drive engagement, conversion and revenue from their digital content because they're lacking a focused content marketing strategy, as well as the proper tools to push out relevant content across a variety of platforms.Companies "need to refocus their content efforts on producing compelling content that will attract customers to them, and will truly engage them," says Ann Handley, Chief Content Officer at MarketingProfs and co-author of just published Content Rules: How to Create Killer Blogs, Podcasts, Videos, Ebooks, Webinars (and More) That Engage Customers and Ignite Your Business . Furthermore, savvy marketers are maximizing their content strategy using content management tools and web analytics, like those available in Bridgeline's iAPPS Product Suite, to help deliver relevant content experiences along every step of a customer's or potential customer's interaction with a brand. This is called Content Marketing Management and it can help establish trust, build authority and, ultimately, create opportunities to convert browsers and visitors into buyers. "Bridgeline totally gets the fundamentals of a killer content marketing strategy, says Handley. "What's cool about its iAPPS Product Suite is the way it helps organizations publish, manage, and measure engaging content across so many platforms like websites, blogs, online stores, and email."

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush's announcement today that he will "actively explore" the presidency marks the start of an 18 month battle for control of the Republican Party.
As so many of us so well know, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is single-focused: The White House. In advance of what many believe to be his opening statement in his "official" presidential-run announcement, he is bringing in scores of religious leaders to the LSU for prayer.
More, Louisiana US Senate race analysis and talk--WGSO's Jeff Crouere and Bayoubuzz's Stephen Sabludowsky--continued the debate following this weekend's election in which Republican candidate Bill Cassidy ousted Democrat incumbent Mary Landrieu.
As Louisiana Democrats find themselves sliding into political oblivion, they find on offer two strategies to become meaningful again at the statewide level: adapt to the median voter's issue preference, or to rely on subterfuge. Early indications are their hardheaded leaders will rely on the latter.
Let us give Louisiana Senator Elbert Guillory credit.
According to a press release, he was instrumental in overturning an election in Turkey Creek Louisiana due to voter fraud. No doubt, we should thank him and others who believe it is necessary to remove the cancer any fraudulent, coercive or unfair behavior from our elective process.
If the polls are right, Louisiana voters are on the verge of throwing long time politician U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) a retirement party on December 6. Her opponent Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-Baton Rouge) is comfortably ahead as the run-off draws to a close and has been continually blasting the incumbent as a clone of the unpopular President Barack Obama.
The President cannot be any more provocative with the GOP. After getting shellacked in the mid-terms, Obama did not move to the middle or reach out to Republicans, he moved further to the political left.
President Barack Obama is once again doing no favor for the Mary Landrieu for US Senate campaign. Nor did he help his party during the November elections landslide.
Remember back to the days of yore in the year 2008 when newly-minted Louisiana governor, Bobby the Jindal (otherwise known as Bobby Jindal), rose into power on an ethics reform platform?
While the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee apparently has not put up the $1.8 million money it took off of the table for Landrieu television buys after the general election in which Democratic candidates got walloped at the polls, Mary Landrieu is continuing to raise money for her run against Bill Cassidy.

Welcome to the Oklahoma Land Title Association
OLTA is a statewide trade association representing the title insurance and abstracting industry in Oklahoma. Founded in 1907 and proudly serving our membership through regulatory and legislative advocacy, continuing education and up-to-date information in keeping with our mission to enhance and protect the industry.
What is Title Insurance?
When you buy a home, you receive a title to the property, meaning you are now the full legal owner of that property. Title insurance for real estate provides protection against loss if a covered defect is found in the title to real property. You can purchase it for a one-time premium, paid in most cases at closing.
Title insurance usually covers four types of "hidden" risks: errors, liens, ownership claims, and invalid deeds. If a claim is made against your property, the title insurance company will negotiate with the other party to settle the claim, defend you in court if necessary, pay any incurred legal costs, and satisfy any covered claims. Having title insurance can save you time, money, even your home.

SkyzMatic Telematics System Will Offer Remote Tracking, More
Elio Motorz is getting zerious with Infinite Skyz. The highly efficient three-wheeled vehicle isn't due until late 2015 (and that may change based on the result of Elio's DOE Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan request) but we now know that the 84-mpg trike can be connected to the cloud with Infinite Skyz's SkyzMatic vehicle connectivity system option.
We're One Year Out From Job One, Apparently
Elio Motors continues to move forward on building a high-efficiency three-wheeled vehicle for the masses. For proof, take a look at a new local news clip of the inside of an old General Motors factory in Shreveport, LA. This is where Elio is going to build the lightweight, 84-mile-per-gallon vehicle, and it has started opening the doors to the media.
Elio Motors is taking its green-is-good mentality to its factory equipment. The company, which is planning to make super-light three-wheeled vehicles that get 84 miles per gallon, will finally start making trikes next year. The plan is to sell off extra equipment from an old General Motors factory to do so.
Three wheeled car gets 84 miles to the gallon
Your next commuter car could have two seats, three wheels and get 84 miles to the gallon.
For prospective buyers of Elio Motors' super-fuel-efficient vehicle set to debut next year, one day may cost you $250. For a car that costs $6,800, that's a decent chunk. You've been warned.
What does the three-wheeled, super-efficient Elio have in common with a gas-guzzling Hummer? Both use a standard internal combustion engine in favor of a hybrid or electric setup, and the Elio will be built in the same Louisiana factory that once hummed to the tune of H3 production. The similarities end there.
If you think the fact that Elio Motors has taken 15,000 reservations for its high-MPG three-wheeler is something to scoff at, well, consider the fact that Honda sold less than 21,000 of its hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles combined last year. But, if you think that the company's claim that the trike is cleaner than a year's worth of farts from a cow? Well, go ahead and scoff.
Tell a hip-hop fan you've got a vehicle with three-wheel motion and they'll think of low-riders, '64 Impalas and hydraulics. Michigan-based Elio Motors has another idea, and the Detroit News says it's a few beats closer to reality.
The story of Elio Motors goes back many years, but it has managed to stay well below the radar, mostly because there hasn't been much news. This has changed.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) Rocco Baldelli's sore hamstring landed him on the 15-day disabled list, and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays replaced him by activating outfielder Greg Norton for Thursday night's series finale against the Texas Rangers at Disney World.
Baldelli left Tuesday night's game against the Rangers after running out a ground ball in the first inning. He had a MRI Thursday and was placed on the DL with what manager Joe Maddon described as a "moderate" left hamstring strain.
"We're not sure what that means as far as how long he'll be out," Maddon said.
Baldelli was used mostly as a designated hitter for the first two weeks of the season after straining his right hamstring during spring training. He's struggled recently, going 1-for-40 and watching his batting average plunge to .204.
Norton, who hit .296 with 17 homers in 98 games last season, had been sidelined since injuring his right knee late in spring training and undergoing surgery April 2. He appeared in seven games and batted .280 with two doubles and four RBI during a rehabilitation assignment at Double-A Montgomery.

Much ado over consumer complaint, turns out to be invalid
Local officials of Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) were taken for a ride by a consumer in Kilpauk. The resident made 10 to 15 calls to the centralised call centre at '155333' complaining of a power cut in his apartment. After a dressing down from senior officials, the local staff rushed to the spot only to find the power connection had been disconnected over non-payment of power bills.
A public inconvenience
The Chennai Corporation has started cracking down on persons who illegally collect money from users of public toilets. A number of persons have been arrested for collecting money. But another civic issue has surfaced now. Some local civic officials and councillors have started locking up toilets to avoid illegal collection of money.
Spoken like a politician
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, during a web-based interactive session with students recently, artfully avoided commenting on ticklish issues. In the course of the interaction, a Bangalore-based student asked why the quota system in education could not be changed from a caste-based one to an economic status-based one. Instead of answering the question directly, Mr. Gandhi looked for student beneficiaries of reservation to respond. When it grew into a heated debate between the students, the event co-ordinator and Mr. Gandhi put the brakes on that line of questioning. A true politician, Mr. Gandhi signed off saying only more debates among stakeholders could transform the education system in the country.
Unreserved chaos
On February 15, passengers aboard Coromandel Express had to endure chaos created by unreserved commuters. The train was filled with unauthorised passengers, around 200 of them, in each compartment.
When a few passengers raised this issue with the ticket examiner, he said he was helpless. Railway officials said this was an everyday thing. Some passengers then wondered if the authorities were hand-in-glove with such commuters who crowded reserved compartments.
Carry the change?
Next time you board an MTC bus and are bored, it might be fun to merely keep track of the conductor, especially when he issues tickets. His arguments with passengers can be quite hilarious, such as the instance this reporter was witness to recently.
A passenger boarded a bus from a stop on Anna Salai in the evening. Since the ticket price was Rs. 11, he gave Rs. 20 to the conductor. The angry conductor asked the passenger to give him Rs. 10 and a rupee coin. "Why don't you get into the bus with one-rupee coins? You think I am a coin-vending machine?" exclaimed the conductor.

Atlas Copco SBU solid-body hydraulic breaker
Better Roads Staff | September 21, 2011
The Atlas Copco SBU 220 hydraulic breaker features a patented one-piece housing construction –the solid-body concept, which integrates the percussion mechanism and guide system into one single block of steel. The one-piece housing is designed to have fewer components to maintain and to provide a greater return on investment.
With an operating weight of 494 pounds and a tool shank diameter of 2.56 inches, the SBU 220 hydraulic breaker is intended for carriers ranging from 6,150- to 13,230-pounds (2.8- to 6.0-metric-tons). The breaker is designed to offer a favorable percussive power-to-weight ratio.
The SBU 220 offers an oil flow rate of 11- to 20-gallons per minute and an impact rate of 720- to 1,380-blows per minute. The unit features the Atlas Copco VibroSilenced system with sound pressure rated at 89 dB(A) and sound power at 118 dB(A). This is designed to allow the unit to work close to schools, hospitals and other areas where noise can be an issue.
With the breaker's solid-body concept, which integrates the impact mechanism and the guide system, the SBU 220 is lighter in weight and features a slimmer profile when compared to other hydraulic breakers, making it ideal for small carriers.
The Atlas Copco SBU 220 hydraulic breaker is designed for production breaking: demolition, trench rock, utility and landscaping. The SBU 220 is designed to be well-suited for use in confined spaces such as indoor demolition work, along buildings and for narrow trenching.

My grandmother was Mary Mae Kindsvater born in Olashna, Russia (Dietel) in 1872. She spoke about part of the Kindsvater clan imigrating from Russia to Argentina. She wrote a letter to someone in Argentina asking about the Kindsvaters that went to Argentina but didn't receive a reply. I have geneology information that goes back to a Georgius Kindsvater born in Germany around 1626. I would be interested in knowing more about the Argentina Kindsvaters

Ewing 33 Hi "Bulls" – Available by Darren Griffin 0 Comments
How much when they drop on da 30th
March 7, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 5
The latest pair of the Ewing 33 Hi to get a release date is this, the navy tinted 'Georgetown' colorway that comes as a tribute to Ewing's college days. Ewing started his life as a Hoya back in 1981, his four year stint there eventually leading him to his time with the Knicks, which of course in turn led him to a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame. See more of the Ewing 33 Hi 'Georgetown' after the jump and be advised that the sneakers are releasing on March 30th here in the US and March 15th at a handful of European sneaker spots.

Heat upset after Dwyane Wade ban
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- In the wake of Dwyane Wade's suspension for kicking Charlotte Bobcats' Ramon Sessions in the groin, the Miami Heat took the unusual step of issuing a statement firing back at the league office on Friday.
The Heat said they disagreed with the suspension and further complained about how their players have been being treated by opposing teams recently. Wade, the Heat said, is one of the players the opposition "takes privileges with." They said they had "made their feelings known to the league office."
SVP & Russillo
ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst says he was surprised Dwyane Wade was suspended, discusses Wade's growing reputation as a dirty player and more.
The Heat referred to Wade's 10-year record as being "an exemplary player and positive influence" in their dispute of the ruling. The league does not typically explain disciplinary decisions but has reviewed several Wade fouls and actions over the last few seasons without taking further action.
Wade, who served the suspension Friday -- the Heat went on to lose to the Detroit Pistons -- said the kick to Sessions was inadvertent.
"It was a bang-bang play, man," Wade told reporters Friday morning. "It's a play you kind of have to be there. It was something that was looked at over video review and it can be taken any kind of way."
Sessions said Friday that he had not heard from Wade since the game but did not harbor any ill feelings.
"They looked at the film and saw what everybody else saw," Sessions said. "It was a kick to the groin, there was no secret about it. Things like that happen in the battle of a game."
Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap said he felt the league would come down on Wade.
SportsNation: Is Wade a dirty player?
After another questionable incident in Wednesday's win over the Bobcats, Dwyane Wade's reputation is taking a hit. Is he a dirty player?
Discuss and vote!
• Windhorst: A tenuous reputation
"When we looked at the film it was obvious they had to do something," Dunlap said. "Dwyane is a class human being, he represents the league at the highest level ... but there's no place for that."
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra implied the Heat's stars are being targeted by opposing teams. During the game Wednesday in Charlotte, Bobcats forward Gerald Henderson fouled LeBron James hard.
"That was a very physical game; there were a lot of hard hits in that game," Spoelstra told reporters in Detroit. "What we're getting tired of as an organization are the hits, particularly to Dwyane and LeBron and Chris (Bosh). That is the game plan against us."

Salem teen in custody after his mother is assaulted
According to police, Thomas George was taken into custody on Cluff Crossing Road in the later hours of the morning.
Salem High School and Pinkerton Academy in Derry were both put on lockdown as a precaution this morning as police searched for George. George had been a student at Pinkerton but is not cuirrently enrolled there, according to a school official.
Police were looking for a green Kia Sephia which was found in Derry. Police suspect George stole another car, which he left at Rockingham Park, before heading toward Cluff Crossing Road on foot.
During the search, police asked for the public's help, and Deputy Chief Shawn Patten stated George was armed with a knife and hammer and considered dangerous.
A spokesman at Pinkerton Academy said George attended the school for the last three years. He isn't presently enrolled as he withdrew last year, said Chip Underhill, Pinkerton's executive director of public affairs.
Pinkerton went into lockdown at 8:55 a.m. , when it was learned George had fled Salem after the alleged incident and was headed for Derry.
"It was announced, this was not a drill," Underhill said.
The high school was scheduled to hold a lockdown drill sometime this week, Underhill said. The lockdown ended 20 minutes later, Underhill said.
"We were extremely pleased by how the students and teacher responded to this actual event," Underhill said. "They locked the doors and stayed quiet."
Underhill said that he was sure some of the students were upset by the actual lockdown and will be discussing the incident.
(Union Leader Correspondent Hunter McGee also contributed to this story.)
Previous story follows:
SALEM - Police are looking for an 18-year-old man in connection with an attempted murder Thursday morning on Cluff Crossing Road.
Investigators said Thomas George fled the area in a green Kia Sophia with New Hampshire registration 317 1993 or 341 1012. The car has a U.S. Air Force sticker on the rear window.
Police considered George to be dangerous and believe he is armed with a knife and hammer.
Call 911 if you see him or the car.
Salem High School was put in a "precautionary lockdown" only Thursday morning because George has ties to the school, police said. Several police officers were assigned to the school to provide added security.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
seems like ND isnt aware of these two glitches which have plagued me since launch
1.) similar to the glitch in the UC2 multiplayer since both games are using the same engine, I sometimes die instantly upon respawn because the enemies just happens to throw a molotov or bomb explodes over my dead body at the exact same time that I respawn causing me to die instantly. I guess somehow the old dead body is still connected somewhat. This has happened to me about 3-4 times but forgot about it til it happened again last night. Usually shows the I got killed by a bomb or molotov
2.) Respawn on team mate using "Startegists 3" only to get spawned inside walls, boxes. Happens almost everytime when the squad mate has his back to walls since the perk is designed to respawn you behind the player, I press triangle to respawn early as soon as the countdown timer reaches 10. Annyoying since there really is no way to kill yourself especially how i dont really craft bombs, molotovs. Enemies can sometimes kill you if they happen to pass by and see parts of your clothing sticking out but you cant kill anyone. Hard to attract the attention of enemies to come kill you since your ammo is scarce and you cant run or even stand up. Most of the time, the screen vibrates violently but the vibration stops when you press select and go into the crafting menu. There was only one time where this happened and behind me was open space where i can jump to my death and respawn. Sucks when Im doing good and this happens and i have no options but to quit the game

That is correct my friend. You know the law, so you should obey it, as the act of Law Abiding Citizens states so. Failure to do so will end up in mockery, belittling, untrusting, and removal or banning of said username.
I'm amused.

Findings of a University of Minnesota study are the first to conclusively link later morning school starts to higher test scores, better grades and fewer teen car crashes.
The study puts weight behind an issue hotly debated by parents, students and school leaders nationwide.
"People keep asking me, 'Is this [later school start times] really making a difference?' " said project director Kyla Wahlstrom, a former North St. Paul, Minnesota principal who's studied school start times for 17 years. "We didn't have the proof until now."
For three years, researchers at the university's Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement analyzed data from more than 9,000 students at eight high schools in Minnesota, Colorado and Wyoming. Overall results showed a boost in attendance, test scores and grades in math, English, science and social studies for schools that shifted the school day later into the morning.
Schools also saw a decrease in tardiness, substance abuse and symptoms of depression. Some even had a dramatic drop in teen car crashes.
"The eight hours of sleep seems to be a tipping point for making healthy or unhealthy behavioral decisions," Wahlstrom said.
But, the study found, only 34 percent of students are getting the recommended eight hours of sleep when school starts at 7:30 a.m. compared with 66 percent of students getting eight hours of sleep at schools that start as late as 8:55 a.m.

Series/Tournaments: ICC Women's World Cup
Jhulan Goswami, along with a couple of her India Women team-mates, sauntered through the lobby of the Taj Mahal Palace hotel in Mumbai. Not one of the few people present turned her way to acknowledge they were watching the second-most successful bowler in women's cricket. Outside the hotel, the Sunday crowd continued to throng the seafront alongside the Gateway of India. A few stopped to take photographs. Not of Goswami, but of the landmark hotel, completely unaware that seven international teams were staying there.
There is a World Cup in town, a cricket World Cup at that. It has been in the news because some people didn't want a particular team coming over while other people wanted a particular stadium for their own use, to the exclusion of the women. Over the next three weeks, the tenth Women's World Cup, to be held in Mumbai and Cuttack, will strive to make headlines for the cricket played by the eight participating teams.
The captains of four of them, hosts India, England, Sri Lanka and West Indies, were present at the tournament's first press event, attended by a generous gathering of journalists and cameramen.
The general public may remain largely ignorant, or indifferent, but the players know how much progress has been made on the ground. Charlotte Edwards, captain of defending champions England and one of the game's greats, spoke of how far women's cricket had come from the time she scored 173* in Pune a day before her 18th birthday, in the 1997 World Cup.
"My first time was when I was 17, a quite memorable one, first time I think I had been out of England," Edwards said. "Now with the ICC and the professionalisation that has come in, is fantastic. I think it is safe to say that the game today is unrecognisable from when I played back in 1997. The games are televised now, which they weren't back in 1997. Very proud of where the game is at the moment.
"Recent ICC events have shown that the game is becoming popular. I have heard we are attracting loads of young girls who want to play the game. That is the most important thing for us as players. I think we have changed people's perceptions about women's cricket a lot. Hopefully this tournament will be another step in hammering that message home."
Mithali Raj, the India captain and another big name, was hopeful of substantial turnouts at the grounds. "It is a great moment," she said. "It is the first time after 1997 that we are hosting a World Cup, [and] under the BCCI. The kind of media attention and awareness is great. So I am hoping a lot of people will turn up for the matches."
Raj said the best way to popularise the women's game was to have matches on television. Not only World Cup or World Twenty20 matches, but also bilateral games. "Lot of people question me about the follow-up of women's cricket. It would be nice if more games are televised when we tour abroad," Raj said. "Most of them follow Star Cricket, ESPN, where, if women's cricket is televised, then gradually it will catch people's awareness. Some of the girls are definitely known faces. Not only the ICC tournaments, but also two-nation series like England v India or Australia v India should be televised on good cricketing channels for them to follow women's cricket."
This World Cup will be broadcast live on television alright. Now only if those grounds could be filled.
