Cold and Flu Time Tea
This tea is a delicious traditional blend of soothing and balancing herbs. A popular formulation without the use of Ma Huang (ephedra), this blend was traditionally used for temporary relief of a wide range of minor discomforts associated with the cold and flu season, including congestion, stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing, body- and head-aches, and stomach upsets.
Mulberry, fragrant angelica and perilla were used to help relieve congestion. Lycium, mulberry and platycodon were used to help support healthy lung function and to help relieve coughing. Honeysuckle, pueraria, siler and Chinese mint were used to help support throat health, and to help relieve temporary minor throat discomfort, headaches and body aches. Honeysuckle, dandelion, mahonia and licorice are considered cooling and were used to help clear away toxins. Ginger was used to help relieve stomach upsets, discomfort and chills. Astragalus was used to help maintain the healthy function of the immune system and to help promote healthy resistance.
For added benefits, use Triple Leaf Ginger Tea during the cold & flu season.

Dear Donor,
Thank you so much for supporting this project! Looking back at what your contribution and the gifts of other contributors have made possible, we have cause for celebration. Children in twenty-six states have been making music with Guitars in the Classroom this year. In particular, over the past few months, your charity has made it possible for pre-school students in Hawaii, Mississippi and Alabama to learn through music everyday. We've worked with students at every grade level in Boston, Massachussets, and have started new programs in Oakland, San Luis Obispo, and San Diego, California and Madisonville, Louisiana for elementary and middle school teachers and kids. In Clay County, West Virginia, students are making music before, during and after school with GITC. And your assistance has made it all possible!
There is still so much more to do- music programs everywhere have been reduced in recent years and in some districts, the cuts just keep coming. Please help us keep music alive in 2013 by visiting our charity auction online right now at http://stores.ebay.com/auctioncausestore/pages/guitars-in-the-classroom and bidding on a special musical item for yourself or someone in your life!
You can also subscribe to our regular enewsletter at www.guitarsintheclassroom.org or visit us on facebook at www.facebook.com/guitarsintheclassroom where our community shares ideas, humor, and inspiration.
Let's take a deep breath, appreciate the progress your good work has made possible, and create a bright new vision for 2013!
Wishing you health, harmony and happiness in the new year,
Jessica Baron
Dear Friend,
Although this campaign has only been in existence for a couple of weeks, so much good has already been done because of your contribution that it's important to let you know what impact your charitable giving is having here. Thanks to your generosity and timeliness, we were able to raise enough money to green light programs in both Alabama and California and also make a $300 allocation to our program in Mililani, Hawaii in the preschool there, This is outstanding!
Now- and next month- teachers in three states are beginning a round of training. Kate has started the program in the South Mobile Head Start in Irvington and the teachers are LOVING this chance to learn to make and lead music, and to bring this to the pre-schoolers every day. One of our social media volunteers, Alan Breech, lives in Mobile and he will be visiting Kate's class tomorrow and taking photos for you to see.
Jeff Cicatko is teaching in Mililani. I am enclosing a photo of the teachers there. Mililani is in the heart of Oahu, It is not easy to get there and is not a vacation spot. Our trainer drives 90 minutes each way to reach this community because of some very interruptive road work repairing a bridge. But he determined to make sure these Hawaiian children have the benefit of making music- and learning their own cultural traditions as part of this. You can see by the smiles on the teachers' faces how much the chance to incorporate music in teaching means to them.
Brenda Crayk will begin training a beginner class for teachers in San Diego on November 27 at Sandburg Elementary. This school serves a diverse group of children from very hard working families, many with a single, very modest income taking care of everyone, sometimes three generations. The school is wonderful- positive, earnest, high-spirited and successful.The importance of bringing musical access to these children cannot be overemphasized because music serves as a cultural ambassador, a peace builder, a common language, AND a powerful tool of academic learning. At Sandburg, the teachers give their all and the families are very involved. We will be sending you a letter about Sandburg in December when we have had a chance to meet.
Will you please continue giving to this program if and when you can so we can carry the training throughout the school year? Together, let's reach our goal of having teachers in these three places independently prepared to keep the music alive in the general classroom!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your effort to make the world a warmer, brighter place for our children, whether they live in the heart of the South, near the Mexican border in California, or on an island in the Pacific. They are all ours and they need and appreciate our love and care so much.
With gratitude and excitement,
Dear Musically-Minded Contributor,
Thank you for joining Guitars in the Classroom to create hands-on musical learning opportunities for pre-school students. The current project to which you donated funds has been focused on reaching preschools in Michigan and Mississippi. We are excited now to spread the work to Mobile, Alabama!
Because you gave, so far we have been able to provide six ukuleles to a preschool in each region. The teachers are using the training they have been receiving from Guitars in the Classroom to share music with their young students, and we hope to do lots more of this work around the country between now and the end of the year!
GITC's support for integrating music with preschool education began in Chicago four years ago at El Valor, Chicago's premiere bilingual early childhood Center of Excellence. Says Vincent Allocco, Executive Director "There are many early childhood music programs that enhance children's development but I have never before encountered a music and dialogue program with greater potential for improving teacher creativity and effectiveness and student engagement than GITC."
Ukuleles are the perfect size for little hands, and we thank you for helping us make these instruments available!
With sincere best wishes and thanks for your support of this project,

So I handwashed cold/flat dried my burgundy knit cotton cardigan, and the arms stretched out SUPER long.
Is there anyway to shrink them back to normal? It's actually pretty crazy how it stretched.
I did the same before to my ivory pocket sweater of the same knit/cotton, but the arms didn't stretch out at all.
Good idea @ rf.
I'll try it out soon and post back the results.
Was thinking of picking up the shirting. Would you say TTS, size down or what? Never had the shirting but I take a small in Band of Outsiders.
Alright cool, thanks for the information

Here's a few sobering facts to think about when you wonder about the future.
Population :
When I was born there were 3.1 billion people on the planet. As I write this there are now nearly 7.3 billion and that number is accelerating. At what point do we start to run out of resources like food, water, fuel?
Money :
A million dollars: $1,000,000
A billion dollars: $1,000,000,000
A trillion dollars $1,000,000,000,000
According to wikipedia, the Forbes rich list (2014) numbers 1645 billionaires :
Their total worth $6,400,000,000,000
Their average worth $3,890,577,508
Put into perspective:
The total world GDP is $75,000,000,000,000
These few wealthy individuals are worth nearly 10% of the planet.
Current world population 7,300,000,000
Their worth/population $876.71
To get your head round this, the few (legitimate) billionares on the Forbes list
can give every person on the planet nearly $1,000 each – and not miss it.

ProsSolid company with good management and many longtime employees. There are several great long time employees to learn from. Good working environment and good HR involvement.
ConsLower wages in skilled positions tend to make the retention of some excellent people difficult and cause current strong people be constantly looking. In difficult times the political situation within the company is a cause of stress in many areas. It seems to be company policy to wait till the work load on a department is experiencing diminishing returns to add resources so the people are always playing catch up causing undue stress.
Advice to ManagementAdviceRealize that in some situations keeping the head count down actually ends up costing the company in lost revenue due to an inability to handle the workload thus missing out on possible sales.

ConsCorporate offices are located in an unattractive neighborhood. Advancement is only based on "good old boy" principles where managers move up from job to job never accomplishing anything.

The letter arrived at work about two weeks after baseball's opening day in 2003. It had a Zanesville, Ohio, postmark. A return address sticker mentioned a Mrs. Howard Richardson.
What's this about?
Inside was a handwritten note along with a neatly clipped copy of my Cincinnati Reds season preview story from the Zanesville Times Recorder. I didn't have to read far to get the gist.
This Mrs. Howard Richardson — she wasn't happy with me. Not at all.
In beautiful cursive — the kind of handwriting you don't see anymore — she pointedly took me to task for suggesting the Reds could be awful that season. I should be more positive, she insisted. It would help the players.
"You get more flies with honey than vinegar!!!!!" she wrote. (Yes, underlined and topped off with many exclamation points.)
The note was signed: Evelyn Richardson.
Have you ever been enamored by a child's sense of wonder? Their incredulous awe in myths like the tooth fairy and Santa, their wide-eyed anticipation of unwrapping a present?
We are most inspired by the unknown.
A magic trick — how did they do it?!
A movie with surprising plot twists.
A news scandal shrouded with mystery.
We are drawn to the unknown because it tickles the innate sense of curiosity within us to discover and explore. Mystery invites participation, not for the sake of removing what is unknown, but to ignite a passion for learning beyond what is certain and be changed through the process.
Why is it then, we insist on equating our Christian faith to certainty? We sing about a Blessed Assurance and hold intensive meetings to discuss the essentials of faith. We share testimonies of God stories to shelve any doubts of God's existence. We preach the same sermons, pray the same prayers, tell the same stories, week after week to convince ourselves it all is still true.
Is this what our Christianity has been reduced to, more of the same? I am sorry, but I simply cannot muster up anymore enthusiasm for such a formulaic faith; it's like taking elementary classes all over again. I already know that two plus two equals four.
I am longing for the gift of uncertainty, a type of profound mystery that welcomes questions, a faith that requires a leap of faith to sustain.
One hundred years ago, during the First World War, the Christmas truce took place between British, German, and French soldiers in the trenches on the Western Front. On Christmas Eve 1914, soldiers from opposing sides, who were stationed there to kill each other, instead got to know one another, shared photos of loved ones, and even had a game of soccer.
This of course made their superiors furious, not just because the troops were disobeying orders, but because it is much harder to harm someone with whom you have formed some sort of relationship. The enemy is to be faceless and nameless.
The same holds true for millions of people living in poverty around the world this Christmas. They are the faceless and nameless ones. In reality though, the enemy that is poverty is not faceless. Poverty is about people; it is not about statistics. Poverty is also not just about a lack of material goods; it is more about a lack of dignity, a lack of a sense that you are important. We are reminded that poverty is always personal because it is about relationship.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis launched a blistering attack on the Vatican bureaucracy on Monday, outlining a "catalog of illnesses" that plague the church's central administration, including "spiritual Alzheimer's" and gossipy cliques.
The pope's traditional Christmas greeting to the cardinals, bishops and priests who run the Holy See was more "Bah! Humbug!" than holiday cheer as he ticked off a laundry list of "ailments of the Curia" that he wants to cure.
In a critique that left many of the assembled clerics clearly uncomfortable, the 15 ailments in Francis' "catalog of illnesses" reflected the take-no-prisoners approach he promised when he was elected nearly two years ago as an outsider with little direct experience in Rome.
"The Curia is called upon to improve itself, always improve itself and grow in communion, holiness and knowledge to fully realize its mission," the pope said.
"Yet like every body, like every human body, it is exposed to illnesses, malfunctioning, infirmity. They are illnesses and temptations that weaken our service to God."
In a separate address to Vatican staff later, Francis begged pardon for the "shortcomings" of senior church leaders, as well as the "several scandals" that had "caused so much harm," without specifying which scandals he had in mind.
What can local churches do to support ongoing protests against, and indeed upheaval of, an unjust criminal justice system and deep-seated white supremacy? In a season that Lisa Sharon Harper recently described as "Advent as protest," what might it mean for Christians to anticipate the coming of Christ by physically challenging oppression? For pastors all over the United States, these are the questions of the moment.
In Washington, D.C., local faith communities sought to live into the vision of Advent as protest by holding a "vigil for justice." Although this vigil beautifully documented the capacity of the local church to advocate for justice, the way local media framed the vigil forces communities of faith to think more deeply about their understanding of solidarity.
Spread out along nearly 6.5 miles of 16th Street, hundreds of people held candles and signs in support of recent protests against racial injustice. As people passionately waved their signs or held their heads down in prayerful lament, passing cars and buses slowed to honk in support. Catching on with the theme of Advent, attendees hoped to shine light in the darkness not only to create awareness and show solidarity, but also to testify to the hope of faith.
Cecilia Choi, a member of District Church explained, "This is the time of Advent when God came and he started his work of reconciliation with us by becoming one of us. And I think it's perfect to come out and work on reconciliation and joining with our black brothers and sisters. They're not just our neighbors, they're our brothers and sisters in Christ. We have such an obligation to them. I think this is an act of worship."
When asked why she was on the streets, one woman responded, "Well, what do I say? [Laughs.] That's the meaning of our faith! To be one with people who are suffering." Another man called racism "the deepest sin in the United States."
Such descriptions of the vigil reach to the core of the church's mission to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly." Here are churches standing in solidarity with those suffering at the hands of racist oppression as an "act of worship." Here are churches bringing their resources of prayer, lament, and peace into the public sphere, challenging observers to wrestle with God's call to justice. Yet, though the event was beautiful, the way it was framed by local media raises tough questions for churches. Contrasting this demonstration with other recent protests, one reporter said, "This protest was in contrast to many of the protests we've seen over the past few weeks, with groups blocking traffic and loudly chanting. This group was quiet and purposeful."
Sometimes we dehumanize people by speaking, thinking, or imagining about them in generalizations, by covering their true identity with generic labels and terms that are impersonal, cold, and less meaningful. For example, you can refer to your brother as "someone that I know" or your best friend as "this one guy."
We often do this when we want to create separation or disassociate from others — often in order to protect ourselves, make ourselves look better, or attack others. Thus, we refer to our spouse as "this person I know" when we're agreeing with a coworker about people who hold an opposing political belief we disagree with, or offhandedly use the phrase "this guy I know" about our dad when talking about annoying habits that we can't stand.
We see Peter do the same thing in the Bible, referring to Jesus — his savior, closest friend, companion, teacher, and leader — as simply "him" when being accused of knowing Jesus right before the crucifixion.
Luke 22: 56-57: Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, "This man also was with him." But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
I don't know "him."
One word: him.
No harm done, right? It's just a simple pronoun.
We do the same thing all of the time.
Him, her, she, he, them, those people, etc.
As innocent as this practice may seem, the ideas behind them are more cynical, and it becomes much more serious for Christians when we use terms, thoughts, and ideas as a way to disconnect people from God.
I was recently talking with friends about looking people up online. I told the story of being unpleasantly surprised to find, on someone's Facebook profile, that he was affiliated with a sports-themed summer camp in the Middle East run by Christians with the not-as-subtle-as-they-think motivation of converting (or at least … influencing) young Muslim campers. As I told the story, I could see that I had probably picked the wrong audience: friends who, while they might not have signed up for such a project themselves, certainly knew people who would. I trailed off lamely, debating with myself whether to bother noting the obvious as an excuse for my reaction: that they had grown up in conservative churches and I in a liberal one.
But thinking about it later, I realized it was more than that. "I don't believe in converting people," I wanted to go back and say to them. "Not in the way that I don't believe in wearing white after Labor Day — like a personal preference or moral objection — but in the way that I don't believe in Santa Claus." I do not believe it happens.
To be more specific, I don't believe in people converting people. Conversion, obviously, happens. And other people may be there, even standing by and handing the convert a pamphlet. The convert may even be saying, "Because of you, I am converting!" But I don't buy it.
Last week the Vatican released the final report on its unprecedented investigation of Roman Catholic sisters in the United States. Six years ago, when the Vatican announced the apostolic visitation (its formal name), many of the sisters whom the investigation affected responded with hurt and anger. Now, thanks largely to competent, spiritually grounded leadership on the part of American sisters, the spirit is conciliatory.
When the Vatican launched the investigation in 2008, under Pope Benedict, to "look into the quality of life of religious women in the United States," the announcement was met with suspicion and apprehension. Since the Vatican had previously only ordered an apostolic visitation when a group had gone astray, sisters wondered what the Vatican wanted to investigate and why. Some congregations reported that their elder sisters felt that their whole lives had been judged and found wanting," remembers Sr. Sharon Holland, president of the Leadership Council of Women Religious, which represents about 80 percent of the 57,000 nuns in the U. S. When Sr. Sandra Schneiders, professor emerita of New Testament and spirituality at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, Calif., learned of the visitation, she warned sisters to be cautious, treating the visitors as "uninvited guests who should be received in the parlor, not given the run of the house."
In a situation that could have escalated badly, American sisters rose to the occasion.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to watch Kim Jong-un's assassination on the big screen this Christmas. We will not be able to cheer as the brutal dictator's helicopter explodes in the air " while Katy Perry's 'Firework' plays on the soundtrack." We will not be able to fulfill this Christmas Day fantasy by watching The Interview because the terrorists have won.
The FBI now claims that Kim Jong-un's government is behind the act of terrorism. In retaliation for the movie, a state-sponsored North Korean cyber-terrorist group called "The Guardians of Peace" hacked into Sony Pictures and leaked sensitive information, including internal emails, future Sony films, and sensitive employee records. "The Guardians of Peace" also threatened movie goers with a "9/11 style attack" on every cinema that shows the movie.
After the threats were made and many theaters decided to pull the film, Sony Pictures canceled the release of The Interview. Sony said in a statement:
Sony Pictures has been the victim of an unprecedented criminal assault against our employees, our customers, and our business. Those who attacked us stole our intellectual property, private emails, and sensitive and proprietary material, and sought to destroy our spirit and morale – all apparently to thwart the release of a movie they did not like. We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public. We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome.
Washington and Hollywood are also in an uproar:
"Wow. Everyone caved. The hackers won. An utter and complete victory for them,"tweeted Rob Lowe. Jimmy Kimmel claimed that pulling the movie was, "an un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent." Steve Carell said it was a, "Sad day for creative expression." Sen. John McCain stated "yielding to aggressive cyber-terrorism by North Korea … sets a troubling precedent that will only empower and embolden bad actors to use cyber as an offensive weapon even more aggressively in the future."
And White House officials are exploring retaliation, saying security leaders "would be mindful of the fact that we need a proportional response."
The terrorists may have won the battle, but the United States will win the war!
Author's Note: As we close out Advent, when we so quickly determine what's our legal right or what we're owed or what "the Bible really says" when, after all, we're just simply too quick to judge. In these days where we must affirm #BlackLivesMatter, where we must stand up for victims of rape and abuse, and where we must struggle with our LGBTQ sisters and brothers for full inclusion, sermons like this are humbly offered.
We know the Christmas story well.
Those of us that have grown up with regular, annual, church-going rhythms — we essentially hear this story once a year.
Even so, those with no regular church commitments — people from all walks of life, people of faith or no particular faith, people from varied faiths — if you asked your friend, your neighbor, your cousin, a stranger on the street, I bet at least 50 percent of the time they'd be able to share the gist of the story:
Jesus was born to a virgin named Mary.Mary was married to a guy (named Joseph).There were angels, and wise men, and shepherds.And I think there was a manger.
We know this story well.
But we hear it so often it becomes rote — literally a mechanically, automatically, mindlessly routine on repetition in our brains.
Yeah, yeah, yeah — 6lb 8oz baby Jesus, in a manger, Virgin Mary, Adopted Dad Joseph, sheep, shepherds, angels, stars at night, wise men, white Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer …
You get my point.
So, let's hear the story one more time and lean in a bit to this wild world of dreams, angels, and ancient Jewish marriage contracts.

OKLAHOMA CITY - The deadly tornado that struck near Oklahoma City late last week had a record-breaking width of 2.6 miles and was the second top-of-the-scale EF5 twister to hit the area in less than two weeks, the National Weather Service reported Tuesday.
A tornado is about to move into a populated area near Oklahoma City after a rash of tornadoes have already proven deadly in the Heartland and Midwest.
Blame it on the wind and dry air. Amarillo was named the No. 9 spot for dry eyes.

If you're reading this, chances are you're well-versed in global warming, maybe even "eco-anxious." But to get inside the heads of those still in denial, there's a helpful piece by John Lanchester in the London Review of Books. Since it's an 8,000-word essay, here are some of the most provocative passages:
"It is strange and striking that climate change activists have not committed any acts of terrorism. After all, terrorism is for the individual by far the modern world's most effective form of political action, and climate change is an issue about which people feel just as strongly as about, say, animal rights."
"Unfortunately, the climate debate came along at a time when the Republican Party was wilfully embracing anti-scientific irrationalism. One way of telling this story adopted by Kim Stanley Robinson in his novel Forty Signs of Rain begins with the Scientists for Johnson Campaign, run by a group of eminent scientists who were worried about Barry Goldwater's apparent eagerness to wage nuclear war. Their campaign had a considerable impact, and when Richard Nixon got to the White House four years later he was convinced that scientists were a dangerously anti-Republican political lobby. Nixon shut down the Office of Science and Technology, and kicked the presidential science adviser out of the cabinet an effective and still unreversed removal of science from the policy-making arena in the US."
"I suspect we're reluctant to think about it because we're worried that if we start we will have no choice but to think about nothing else."
He quotes James Lovelock: "I am old enough to notice a marked similarity between attitudes over sixty years ago towards the threat of war and those now towards the threat of global heating. Most of us think that something unpleasant may soon happen, but we are as confused as we were in 1938 over what form it will take and what to do about it. Our response so far is just like that before the Second World War, an attempt to appease. The Kyoto agreement was uncannily like that of Munich, with politicians out to show that they do respond but in reality playing for time."
He very briefly touches on the energy-industry's war on science: "The techniques in play were learned by the tobacco lobby in the course of the fights over smoking and health."

Is this a farce?
Yesterday was the deadliest day in Iraq since the security surge began. Despite the military's attempts to barricade the Sadriya market, a car bomb there killed 135 people. The total death toll for the day was 230. Defense Secretary Gates was in Israel, and promised that troops would "persist." Meanwhile, back at the White House, President Bush became "visibly angered" when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told him, in the Washington Post's paraphrase, that he was pursuing a lost cause at the cost of American troops in order to protect his legacy. The truth hurts, doesn't it?
If young people are supposedly more idealistic, then idealism has nothing to do with pacifism. People in their twenties, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll, approve of the Iraq War more than their grandparents. And more youth approve of the invasion than disapprove. Janet Elder writes:
Forty-eight percent of Americans 18 to 29 years old said the United States did the right thing in taking military action against Iraq, while 45 percent said the United States should have stayed out. That is in sharp contrast to the opinions of those 65 and older, who have lived through many other wars. Twenty eight percent of that age group said the United States did the right thing, while 67 percent said the United States should have stayed out."....
"I think old people tend to want to solve things more diplomatically than younger, more gung ho types," said Mary Jackson, 28, a homemaker from Brewton, Alabama. "Younger people are more combative."
Younger people are also more optimistic. Forty-nine percent of them said the United States was either very likely or somewhat likely to succeed in Iraq, while only 34 percent of older people said the same thing.
For a more realistic young idealist, meet Ava Lowery, the Southern homeschooler whose antiwar videos get 30,000 hits a day.
Earlier today, New Hampshire Governor John Lynch said he will sign legislation legalizing civil unions in the state. Lynch explained, ''I believe it is a matter of conscience, fairness and preventing discrimination.'' The measure hasn't yet cleared the Senate, but is expected to do so with ease. Even sosurprise!state Republicans were outraged. Fergus Cullen, the state Republican Party chairman, told the AP, "The Democrats are going too far, too fast, and Governor Lynch is going along with them. These are not the actions of a moderate governor." The Dems had a pretty handy comeback: ''It's never going too far when you give people their rights," said Democratic state Rep. Bette Lasky.
New Hampshire will make a New England trifecta, joining Connecticut, Vermont and New Jersey among states with legal civil unions. Massachusetts, of course, has legalized gay marriage.

This is so wrong. The FDA is entertaining a "citizen's petition" to allow chocolate manufacturers to substitute cheap vegetable oil for cocoa butter, and pass it off as chocolate. Citizens petition my ass. It's straight from the Chocolate Manufacturers Assn., the Grocery Manufacturers Assn., the Snack Food Assn. and the National Cattlemen's Beef Assn. Straight from K Street.

Wanted to point out an important moment from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' ongoing testimony on the Hill. After telling multiple irate senators that he was not intimately involved in the firing of the eight U.S. Attorneys (he claims he relied on the judgment of his senior staff), Gonzales admits that he was so out of touch that when it came to actually approve the recommendation of those senior staffers to fire the eight USAs, he didn't bother to examine the USAs performance on the job.
The factors he used in lieu of something as inconsequential as "job performance" go unstated.
For real. And the cases were "woefully deficient" to boot. Check it out.
Sidney Blumenthal has an excellent article in Salon today about the Wolfowitz girlfriend scandal. The outrage this far has focused on these facts:
In 2006 Wolfowitz made a series of calls to his friends that landed [his girlfriend, Shaha Ali Riza] a job at a new think tank called Foundation for the Future that is funded by the State Department. She was the sole employee, at least in the beginning. The World Bank continued to pay her salary, which was raised by $60,000 to $193,590 annually, more than the $183,500 paid to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and all of it tax-free. Moreover, Wolfowitz got the State Department to agree that the ratings of her performance would automatically be "outstanding." Wolfowitz insisted on these terms himself and then misled the World Bank board about what he had done.
Okay, old hat, right? Well, not exactly. In order to get the job Riza got at the State Department, she'd need a security clearance. And those aren't given to foreign nationals who formerly worked for international aid organizations. Riza is "a Libyan, raised in Saudi Arabia, educated at Oxford, who now has British citizenship" and according to Blumenthal, "Granting a foreign national who is detailed from an international organization a security clearance, however, is extraordinary, even unprecedented." Did Paul Wolfowitz compromise national security just to get his lover a job?
Blumenthal is calling for an investigation. It would be downright Al Capone-esque if the disgrace that finally rid us of Paul Wolfowitz's nefarious influence came about NOT because of the ill-advised and disastrously-executed war he schemed up, but because he gave away a few too many perks on the way to the bedroom.
Stanford students fasting for a real living wage for workers on their campus have been providing us with regular updates on their progress -- both the progress of their health and the progress of their negotiations with the university administration. You can find all of that here.
As the students try to survive day six without food, we've added video. You can see one such video below, visit their collection on YouTube, or visit the regularly updated page linked to above.
Alberto Gonzales will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, where he can expect harsh questions from Chuck Schumer and others about the U.S. Attorney firings. Even though Gonzales is expected to be extremely apologetic, he will continue to insist, "I know that I did not, and would not, ask for a resignation of any individual in order to interfere with or influence a particular prosecution for partisan political gain. I also have no basis to believe that anyone involved in this process sought the removal of a U.S. attorney for an improper reason." The quote is from an advance copy of the prepared text of his opening statement.
Frankly, I don't know what administration gains from dragging America through this any longer. Gonzales certainly isn't a superstar worth paying a heavy price to save, and have no doubt about it, the administration pays a heavy price by prolonging the USA scandal and the speculation about whether or not Gonzales will resign. In keeping the scandal alive, they are giving Democrats an open-ended opportunity to dig for more dirt, and they are crippling their own ability to make law enforcement policy. Gonzales has been prepping for this testimony for days, if not weeks -- he certainly isn't getting anything done in respect to his real duties as AG. That's obviously not in America's interest. I'm wondering how it's in the Administration's.
Update: The American Prospect has 14 questions the Senate Judiciary Committee should ask Gonzo. Read them in you need to bring the scandal into focus.

Sleeps | 8 |
Bedrooms | 3 |
Bathrooms | 2 |
Property type | condo |
Minimum Stay | 3 nights |
Centrally located 30 minutes east of San Juan in the quaint town of Luquillo, PR, this beautiful three-bedroom townhouse condo easily accommodates 5-6 people. With two baths (one offers a full size tub), living and family rooms and a spacious porch for enjoying beautiful Caribbean evenings. Our condo is just 30 steps from the ocean and within walking distance to the number one beach in Puerto Rico. This is our paradise. We hope it will be yours...
Upstairs: The condo offers three bedrooms each decorated with soft colors of the ocean, sand and sun.
*Master bedroom has a king size bed and a walk-in closet.
*The back bedroom has a queen size bed.
*The front bedroom has a new full size bed.
All linens are included: sheets, blankets, bath and beach towels.
Down stairs: The family room is a great place to relax after a long day of sightseeing, complete with a futon, recliner, TV (Direct TV Satellite), bar, and a laundry closet with washer & dryer. The full bathroom downstairs includes a shower. There is also a separate sitting room with a sofa and loveseat, which are great for entertaining. The fully equipped kitchen includes a microwave, refrigerator, ice machine, stove, cooking utensils and all the comforts of home.
The spacious porch includes a picnic table for playing dominos or eating meals cooked on the BBQ. Also available for your use are a cooler and several beach chairs.
For your comfort, there are fans in most rooms and air conditioners in the family room and each bedroom. A constant ocean breeze makes sleeping wonderful, and air conditioners optional. Off-street parking is available. Sorry, no pets or smoking.
The condo is within walking distance of many restaurants, a grocery store, the post office etc. Whatever your idea of paradise may be; we hope you will find it in Puerto Rico. Also within walking distance from the condo are the Luquillo Kioskos—the Puerto Rican snack capital. Sixty Kiosks are lined up in a row offering music, food, billiards and souvenirs. Some look like bistros, others like rustic food stands and yet others are full-fledged restaurants.
Other nearby activities include biking, golf (El Conquistador and Rio Mar golf courses), casinos, fishing, horseback riding, shopping, restaurants, live theater, cinemas, museums, sightseeing, swimming, snorkeling and diving, boating, sailing, water-skiing, surfing, windsurfing, parasailing, jet-skiing and rafting. The beach, El Yunque Rain Forest, horseback riding, zip lining, go-carts, and ATV rentals are only a 10-minute drive away. The casino, Bioluminescent Bay and ferry to Culebra and Vieques are only 15-20 minutes east in Fajardo. San Juan is only 34 miles to the west where you can visit El Morro and San Cristobal forts, the Bacardi Factory, and enjoy the many shops and sites in the old city.
Families are encouraged to pack light for their little ones. Baby accessories are available for a small fee (Pack 'n Play, high chair, stroller, and baby bath tub).
Book this condo and you will have a personal concierge who can provide information about activities, arrange outings, or even a personal massage at the condo or on the beach. Catering is also available for breakfast, box lunches, and dinners.
A complimentary bottle of wine and cheese tray await your arrival! Hurray and book today.

My husband and I were born, raised and continue to live in southern Wisconsin. My husband is a financial planner and I work as a Project Manager for Telephone and Data Systems Inc. Our montra has always been to live life to our fullest. We both love the outdoors, and spend most of the summer months in the garden, camping, fishing and horseback riding. We have three children; Philipp - 33; Executive Chef at Juls in Tyler, Texas (check it out if you are in Tyler), Chelsea - 23; working full time and attending school - she is an aspiring writer and Dylan - 22; attending University of Wisconsin Oshkosh for Engineering and in the summer works at University Ridge Golf Course. We are also Grandparents - Ollie is 4 and and great fun.
Winters on the other hand can be quite cold in Wisconsin and about 15 years ago I began spending vacation time in Luquillo, PR. I always came home to relax and reenergized and my husband decided he needed to join me and find out what Luquillo, PR is all about. Needless to say several years later we purchased our condo. Our plan is to retire to Luquillo, PR at some point; in the meantime we would love to share our condo with you and your family. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Alana purchased this condo in 2008
After spending so many years vacationing in Luquillo, PR we have come to view it as our second home. And decided it would be a great place to retire. We have made many friends in this beautiful little community. We love the friendlyness of the island; it's restaurants (Flamboyan, Brass Cactus, Pasta y Pueblo and Guavas) they all make you feel right at home. Having the beach right outside your front door; well the beach can fix anything....

San Juan is only 34 miles hosting El Morro and San Cristobal forts, Bacardi Factory, and the old city.
A private concierge will help you arrange any plans you need either prior or during your stay.
Luquillo is centrally located; many bars, grocery, beach, restaurants, and public beach are all within walking distance. There is so much to do in Puerto Rico; you will enjoy the vacationers book that we have in the condo to explain many different activities that are available; our concierge is also available for questions/suggestions on activities available to you and your family.
