Obama Administration
Religious Freedom: The First Freedom
As mankind become more liberal they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protection of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations in examples of justice and liberality. And I presume that your fellow-citizens will not forget the patriotic part which you took in the accomplishment of their Revolution, and the establishment of their government; or the important assistance which they received from a nation in which the Roman Catholic faith is professed.
George Washington, March 15, 1790
Catholics in this country have long enjoyed complete religious liberty. The experience of that freedom in this country was one one of the factors that caused Popes to embrace the concept of religious liberty as enshrined in the documents of Vatican II. Maryland, the Catholic colony, was the first colony to proclaim religious freedom in the New World.
Now that precious liberty that so many Americans have fought and died for down through the centuries is under siege by local and state governments and the Obama administration. The Bishops of Maryland have spoken out against this evil trend. Go here to read their 16 page statement. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Another Glorious Obama Summer
This Klavan on the Culture is from July 2010 and it is just as topical today. The Obama years are an endless national Groudhog Day with a lousy economy, high unemployment and multiple wars being fought on autopilot, and a completely clueless Chief Executive who fails to do anything to change anything in a positive direction. For a candidate who promised Hope and Change, Obama has delivered Despair and Stasis, the lost years of Obama.
Houston National Cemetery: God Not Welcome
Yet another demonstration of the fundamental hostility to Christianity that lurks barely beneath the surface in the Obama administration:
Local veterans and volunteer groups accuse Department of Veterans Affairs officials of censoring religious speech — including the word "God" – at Houston National Cemetery.
In one example cited in documents filed this week in federal court, cemetery director Arleen Ocasio reportedly told volunteers with the National Memorial Ladies that they had to stop telling families "God bless you" at funerals and that they had to remove the words "God bless" from condolence cards.
"It's just unfair that somebody would ask us to take God out of our vocabulary," said Cheryl Whitfield, founder of Houston National Memorial Ladies.
"I could've kept my mouth shut and let things happen, but when it comes to standing up for your belief in God and giving comfort to the families, I don't want to regret not saying anything," Whitfield said. "We all had to stand up for what we believe in."
The new allegations of "religious hostility" by VA and cemetery officials follow on the heels of a controversy over Pastor Scott Rainey's prayer in Jesus' name at a Memorial Day service in the cemetery.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes ruled May 26 that the government couldn't stop Rainey from using the words "Jesus Christ" in his invocation. Hughes issued a temporary restraining order to prevent VA from censoring Rainey's prayer. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Al Qaeda Calls for Violence Against Christians in Egypt; Obama Silent
In a January 31 press briefing, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs offered the first acknowledgement from the Obama Administration that the White House wants the Muslim Brotherhood, which spawned both Hamas and Al Qaeda, to have a place at the table as Egypt seeks to form a new government. Meanwhile, there has been continued silence on whether or not the Christians in Egypt should have any voice. Never before has this silence been so deafening as now.
As the Egyptian military launches RPGs against Christian monasteries, there remains no word from President Obama on the basic human rights of Christians. So, too, there remains no reporting in the Western "mainstream media" about these attacks even as Christians have marched to Tahrir Square to request religious freedom. Further, this morning comes news that Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri has called for violence against Christians in Egypt. Why does the Obama Administration acknowledge the voice of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt but ignore the voices of Christians, in the midst of this brutal assault? Is it due to incompentence? Or is the Obama Administration more sympathetic to Islamists than to Christians? It's a question that deserves to be answered clearly.
Nina Shea reports this morning about a letter from an Egyptian friend stating that Al-Qaeda leaderAyman Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri has decided to take a strong leadership role, if you will, regarding Christians in Egyptian society.
Al-Qa'ida's number two leader . . . Egyptian born Ayman al-Zawahiri has issued (actually yet to be released!!!!) a three-part message commenting on events in Egypt. In his second part of the message series, Zawahiri spends considerable time inciting violence against Coptic Christians and the Coptic Church. Zawahiri stated that Copts were one of the main problems leading to the situation facing Egypt today.
The Washington Post reports that the Egyptian military cabinet, which many who are concerned about radical Islam had hoped would maintain power when Mubarak stepped down, has "reshuffled" its membership. While two of these new members are Coptic Christians, the situation remains fluid as "tens of thousands" of protesters in Tahrir Square are demanding continued "reform" of the military cabinet. Clearly, it is no longer reasonable to give any kind of blanket approval to Egypt's military cabinet as it is unknown what loyalties will be in the hearts of those who ultimately populate it. Meanwhile, as noted, troops on the ground are wreaking havoc on the Christian community in Egypt. The future of Christians in Egypt appears painfully hopeless in the face of these changes.
It is important to consider that al-Zawahiri is an Egyptian who was trained from his youth in the Muslim Brotherhood. He is the grandson of Rabi'a al-Zawahri, the former grand imam at Cairo's Al-Azhar University which has been described as the "world's leading center of Sunni Islamic thought". Just prior to the Egyptian uprising, the top scholars at Al-Azhar University broke off dialogue with the Vatican in protest of Pope Benedict XVI's protest of the massacre at Our Lady of Deliverance Church in Alexandria.
In specifically supporting a Muslim Brotherhood presence in Egypt's government, President Obama has effectively aligned himself with Ayman al-Zawahiri and Al-Qaeda against the Christians of Egypt who are today under continued attack even in the Coptic monasteries. Considering, too, the presence of Muslim Brotherhood front groups right here in America, whose representatives can be found rubbing elbows with the President, making a joint statement for "tolerance" with some of our American Catholic bishops, and continually defended by the President's leftist political base, how can we not be alarmed?
On January 7, 2010, President Obama said, "We are at war; we are at war with al Qaeda." Americans certainly understand that we are at war with al Qaeda, but with his offering of support for the Muslim Brotherhood, an ally of Ayman Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri who calls for the murder of Christians, we must ask, does President Obama prefer Al Qaeda to the Christians of Egypt?
We deserve a clear answer to that question.
That's a General not a Waiter
Obama adviser Valerie Jarett mistook a four star general, in full dress uniform, for a waiter at a party in Washington. Army General Peter Chiarelli got her a glass of wine, and later defended her, saying it was a mistake anyone could have made. Since I don't work for the President as the General does, I don't have to be as tactful. It is a mistake that anyone could make who possesses both a huge sense of entitlement and is completely and hopelessly clueless to all things military. I would caution Ms. Jarett not to make the same mistake in regard to anyone dressed like R. Lee Ermey in the clip at the top of this post.
Open Thread Thursday – Never Let A Serious Crisis Go To Waste
Court Blocks Federal Funding of Embryonic Stem Cell Research
A bit of good news midst the gloom: A federal judge temporarily blocked the Obama administration Monday from using federal dollars to fund expanded human embryonic stem cell research (FoxNews.com).
Further analysis of the ruling from Adam Keiper and Yuval Levin @ National Review.
As expected, "stunned and disappointed" officials of the Obama administration have vowed to appeal.
Are The Rules Changing?
Jonah Goldberg has put into words what I have been thinking and feeling since the financial meltdown of 2008. We have turned a page and entered a new era in American history. He wonders if, as a result, the political rules have changed.
But what about when the rules change? For nearly a century now, the rules have said that tough economic times make big government more popular. For more than 40 years it has been a rule that environmental disasters — and scares over alleged ones — help environmentalists push tighter regulations. According to the rules, Americans never want to let go of an entitlement once they have it. According to the rules, populism is a force for getting the government to do more, not less. According to the rules, Americans don't care about the deficit during a recession.
And yet none of these rules seem to be applying; at least not too strongly. Big government seems more unpopular today than ever. The Gulf oil spill should be a Gaiasend for environmentalists, and yet three quarters of the American people oppose Obama's drilling ban. Sixty percent of likely voters want their newly minted right to health care repealed. Unlike Europe, where protestors take to the streets to save their cushy perks and protect a large welfare state, the Tea Party protestors have been taking to the streets to trim back government.
Go here to read the rest at Townhall. When Obama won election there was much talk among his giddy acolytes in the media that he was the second FDR and that Obama would usher in a Second New Deal. The cover of Time magazine that graces the top of this post is a prime example of the millennial fever that gripped the Left in this country at the beginning of the Obama administration. Now it has all turned to dust and ashes for a large section of the Left. In exchange for years of effort on their part they have an administration that has roused an angry electorate against it. This bemuses the Left since many of them view the Obama administration as a failure because it has been too moderate (Yeah, I do find that hilarious), as noted by Eric Alterman in The Nation: →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Would You Have Been Intimidated?
The Justice Department apparently doesn't think you should have been.
Whistle-blower J. Christian Adams, a career voting rights attorney with the Department of Justice, resigned his position in disgust over the handling of the voter intimidation case brought against the members of the New Black Panther Party featured in the above video:
On the day President Obama was elected, armed men wearing the black berets and jackboots of the New Black Panther Party were stationed at the entrance to a polling place in Philadelphia. They brandished a weapon and intimidated voters and poll watchers. After the election, the Justice Department brought a voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and those armed thugs. I and other Justice attorneys diligently pursued the case and obtained an entry of default after the defendants ignored the charges. Before a final judgment could be entered in May 2009, our superiors ordered us to dismiss the case.
The New Black Panther case was the simplest and most obvious violation of federal law I saw in my Justice Department career. Because of the corrupt nature of the dismissal, statements falsely characterizing the case and, most of all, indefensible orders for the career attorneys not to comply with lawful subpoenas investigating the dismissal, this month I resigned my position as a Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney.
The federal voter-intimidation statutes we used against the New Black Panthers were enacted because America never realized genuine racial equality in elections. Threats of violence characterized elections from the end of the Civil War until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Before the Voting Rights Act, blacks seeking the right to vote, and those aiding them, were victims of violence and intimidation. But unlike the Southern legal system, Southern violence did not discriminate. Black voters were slain, as were the white champions of their cause. Some of the bodies were tossed into bogs and in one case in Philadelphia, Miss., they were buried together in an earthen dam.
Based on my firsthand experiences, I believe the dismissal of the Black Panther case was motivated by a lawless hostility toward equal enforcement of the law. Others still within the department share my assessment. The department abetted wrongdoers and abandoned law-abiding citizens victimized by the New Black Panthers. The dismissal raises serious questions about the department's enforcement neutrality in upcoming midterm elections and the subsequent 2012 presidential election. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
NASA Administrator Goes Under the Obama Bus
Hattip to Allahpundit at Hot Air. Well that didn't take long. I have discussed here the disastrous interview that Charles Bolden had with Al Jazeera in which he stated that the foremost policy goal of NASA under the Obama administration was to reach out to Muslim nations and raise their self-esteem as to their contributions regarding science, math and engineering.
"When I became the NASA administrator — or before I became the NASA administrator — he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering."
My co-blogger Tito had an excellent follow up post here. Yesterday press flack in chief for the Obama administrator, Robert Gibbs, said flatly that the NASA administrator was wrong about the policy of muslim outreach being NASA's top priority.
The idea that Bolden misspoke in the interview is risible. Bolden was saying much the same thing back in February regarding outreach to Muslim countries. Blaming Bolden for this is a mistake. This foolish PC policy is clearly a product of the Obama worldview, in which hare-brained political schemes that might sound good at a 3:00 AM liberal campus bull session, lubricated by a lot of beers, have become government policy. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading

John Adams, Sedition and the Obama Administration
The greatest blunder of the John Adams administration was the Sedition Act. It inflamed his adversaries and gave color to their accusations that Adams was a tyrant. It is stunning that the same men who had fought in the Revolution and helped to found a new government could have implemented legislation in 1798 which was so blatantly unconstitutional and antithetical to the liberties that they had so bravely fought for. The Act helped destroy the Federalists and assure the success of Jefferson's Republicans. The text of the Act is as follows:
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled. That if any persons shall unlawfully combine or conspire together, with intent to oppose any measure or measures of the government of the United States, which are or shall be directed by proper authority, or to impede the operation of any law of the United States, or to intimidate or prevent any person holding a place or office in or under the government of the United States, from undertaking, performing, or executing his trust or duty: and if any person or persons, with intent as aforesaid, shall counsel, advise, or attempt to procure any insurrection, riot, unlawful assembly, or combination, whether such conspiracy, threatening, counsel, advice, or attempt shall have the proposed effect or not, he or they shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanour, and on conviction before any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, and by imprisonment during a term of not less than six months, nor exceeding five years; and further, at the discretion of the court, may be holden to find sureties for his good behaviour, in such sum, and for such time, as the said court may direct.
SECT. 2. And be it further enacted, That if any person shall write, print, utter, or publish, or shall cause or procure to be written, printed, uttered, or published, or shall knowingly and willingly assist or aid in writing, printing, uttering, or publishing any false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States, or either House of the Congress of the United States, or the President of the United States, with intent to defame the said government, or either House of the said Congress, or the said President, or to bring them, or either of them, into contempt or disrepute; or to excite against them, or either or any of them, the hatred of the good people of the United States, or to stir up sedition within the United States; or to excite any unlawful combinations therein, for opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States, done in pursuance of any such law, or of the powers in him vested by the Constitution of the United States; or to resist, oppose, or defeat any such law or act; or to aid, encourage or abet any hostile designs of any foreign nation against the United States, their people or government, then such person, being thereof convicted before any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars, and by imprisonment not exceeding two years.
SECT. 3. And be it further enacted and declared, That if any person shall be prosecuted under this act for the writing or publishing any libel aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the defendant, upon the trial of the cause, to give in evidence in his defence, the truth of the matter contained in the publication charged as a libel. And the jury who shall try the cause shall have a right to determine the law and the fact, under the direction of the court, as in other cases.
SECT. 4. And be it further enacted, That this act shall continue and be in force until the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and one, and no longer: Provided, That the expiration of the act shall not prevent or defeat a prosecution and punishment of any offence against the law, during the time it shall be in force. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Pro-life Victory: Dawn Johnsen Withdraws
The White House on Friday announced that Dawn Johnsen has withdrawn her nomination by Obama to head of the Office of Legal Counsel.

The Obama Administration and Freedom of Speech
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The Founding Fathers left no doubt which freedoms they held most important. They inserted them into the First Amendment to the Constitution. Freedom of speech and of the press come right after freedom of religion. These freedoms, and all the others set forth in the Constitution, are the birthright of all Americans and a precious example to the rest of the world. That is why I am bemused by the manner in which the Obama administration appears to be indifferent to attempts to undermine freedom of speech and of the press at the UN.
Hattip to Instapundit. In an article here at the The Weekly Standard, Anne Bayefsky, writes about the Obama administration signing on to a freedom of expression resolution.
"The new resolution, championed by the Obama administration, has a number of disturbing elements. It emphasizes that "the exercise of the right to freedom of expression carries with it special duties and responsibilities . . ." which include taking action against anything meeting the description of "negative racial and religious stereotyping." It also purports to "recognize . . . the moral and social responsibilities of the media" and supports "the media's elaboration of voluntary codes of professional ethical conduct" in relation to "combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance."

Re-evaluating American Health Policy: A Catholic Democrat's Perspective (Part II)
Dr. Peter Pronovost is a distinguished physician known for his efforts to decrease the frequency of deadly hospital-borne infections. His remedy to the problem is surprisingly simple: a checklist of ICU protocols that directs physician sanitary practices (e.g. hand-washing). Hospitals that have put Pronovost's checklist into practice have had immediate success, reducing hospital-infection rates somewhere between (estimates vary) well over a third to a whopping two-thirds within the first few months of its adoption. Yet as the story goes, many physicians have rejected this solution and Pronovost has struggled to persuade hospitals to adopt his reform.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that nearly 100,000 American deaths are caused or contributed to by hospital-borne infections. Blood clots following surgery or illness are the leading cause of avertable hospital deaths in the U.S., which by the most liberal estimates might contribute t o the death of almost 200,000 patients annually. Given such a hideous fact, why exactly does a doctor need to travel about and emphatically seek to persuade other medical institutions to adopt, in effect, a cost-free idea that could save so many lives?
How is that an industry which stridently decries the high cost of liability insurance or the absolute injustice of our tort system(which does need reform) need such petitioning to embrace such a simple technique to save thousands of lives? Moreover, in the United States it is not unheard of for a whole business to shut down due a single illness from some suspicious food—yet, we tolerate the killing-via-negligence on such a grand scale in our hospitals? Medical mistakes and institutional carelessness do not qualify as some must-be-accepted inevitability.
This reality has been almost entirely been neglected in the discourse on health care reform. Beyond the structure and financing troubles of our medical system, the institutional practice and governance of hospitals are in need of severe criticism. For example, in what alternate dimension does the peculiar scheduling of hospital work shifts in any way benefit the patient? A few weeks at the hospitals virtually guarantees a never-ending string of new personnel assigned to one patient's care. If this can be avoided, should it not? It seems quite reasonable to presume that passing patients off from doctor to doctor, or nurse to nurse, might increase the chance of someone making a mistake? The effect of changing such a seemingly small problem could be huge. Or, take for example, the "sanitary" environment of hospitals in general, which contribute to the nearly 100,000 annual American deaths. Anyone who has ever worked in "corporate America" or in a large building in general might note that the trash is picked up once daily. Is it any different in a hospital? It takes some sort intellectual schizophrenia to insist on ICU sterility in a building if one has not the slightest care over how many times trash (never mind what is in it) is picked up in a day.
Any array of complaints about institutional malpractice must lead to the inevitable question: how is it that the most technologically advanced medical institutions in the industrialized world miss out on a just as modern, just as recent, revolution of quality control and customer-service that has pervaded every other consumer-based industry? The answer to this question is telling. →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading
Re-evaluating American Health Policy: A Catholic Democrat's Perspective (Part I)
Health care reform has been at the forefront of the American political discourse in the past few months. One of the most difficult tasks in this debate is to discern an authentically Catholic approach to reform efforts. The Catholic Church takes no official position as to how a health care system ought to be structured, but rather presents enduring moral principles that must be present in public policy.
Adhering to the richness of Catholic social teaching, the ultimate goal for Catholics must be to establish a system that is capable of universal access and coverage for all American citizens, one way or another. Any number of schemes might achieve universal health insurance and preferences will differ based on political philosophy, but the end result seems to be a Catholic moral obligation. In this sense, no Catholic ought to oppose universal health care, if it means achieving coverage for all Americans citizens either through market schemes, government assistance, "third sector" non-profit organizations, co-operatives efforts (co-ops), or some combination of these depending on the social need, the ethical principles at stake, and the resources each solution offers.
Catholic social teaching treats health care as a profound social interest and essential for the common good. Health care, because of this, ought not to be viewed as a mere commodity. The poor and vulnerable, by default, are immediately disadvantaged as health care costs increase. The United States, we are told, has the most technologically advanced and best quality medical care. But, one must inquire: at what cost? Other consumer "goods" are not essential safeguards to the indispensable good of human life in the same way as medical care.
Health care markets that are laissez-faire, an inherently utilitarian mechanism, do not necessarily yield nor are they ordered toward natural justice. Natural law theory is alien to such a mechanism— it is not intrinsic to it, neither is solidarity or preferential option for the poor, though these things are not necessarily excluded by it.
It is self-evident that different spheres of society appropriately employ different standards of distribution. College professors assign grades based on merits of achievement; athletic competition employs the same principle. Parents might distribute slices of cake at a birthday party to strict equality. In the same way, numerical equality governs votes in a democratic society. Food, clothing, shelter, electronic goods, clothing, automobiles, jewelry, etc, receive unequal distribution by market mechanisms—sometimes justly, sometimes not.
Need is one of those principles of distribution (and one of those things often argued about) recognized in some spheres, but not others. Need is terrible for distributing grades, but the proper principle for distributing emergency food supplies. Need, arguably, is a proper principle for the distribution of health care. Health is necessary for a community's proper functioning. Justice, in terms of health care, will require a redeveloped way of distributing health care based on personal responsibility, collective interest, and legitimate need—the weakest and most vulnerable among us first and foremost.
Many important areas of life must resist "commodification," at least in the same sense as dispensable goods. This could not be more evident than by the fact that people are becoming commodities to other people. Children are the prime example of this, from abortion to assisted reproduction. Fundamentally, justice demands that we re-examine our consumerism for it is the heart of the issue and I believe, the life-source of the "Culture of Death." →']);" class="more-link">Continue reading

The Arab Spring in Comparative Perspective
June 05, 2013 // 10:00am — 5:30pm
Global Europe Program
"The Arab Spring in Comparative Perspective: Dramatic Transitions in Recent Decades" conference took place on June 4th and 5th in Washington, D.C., co-organized by American University's School of International Service, the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs, and the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars' Brazil Institute, Global Europe Program, Mexico Institute, and Middle East Studies Program. The aim of this initial workshop was to consider dramatic transitional experiences in Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, and Eastern Europe and included a series of panels examining specific facets of transitional experiences: constitutional developments (including democratic reforms); economic and social affairs; justice and human rights issues; the evolving experiences of women; external pressures and interventions. In each case, a commentator with expertise on the Middle East and North Africa was asked to reflect on the possible relevance of other "transitional" experiences to understanding the dynamics and prospects of the "Arab Spring." These reflections also served as the primary task of the workshop's concluding Round Table discussion.

Crisis in the Eurozone: Challenges and Opportunities for the European South
May 16, 2013 // 9:00am — 10:00am
Global Europe Program
European integration is the result of a series of policy initiatives with strong voluntaristic features. By far the most important of those initiatives was the adoption of the euro as a common currency for the 17 countries-members of the euro zone. The European edifice was designed for normal conditions and not for crisis situations. The budgetary and financial crisis of the recent years led necessarily to the adoption of an extraordinary system of economic governance of the euro area with entirely intergovernmental- and not community- features. While the countries in crisis are predominantly in the European South, Evangelos Venizelos, President of PASOK, argues that the notion of the European South is a political and not a geographic concept.

Does anyone know who manufacturers larger 4x4" glass tiles. American Olean's Legacy collection used to come in that size but was discontinued. Thinking of doing a glass wall like in the picture. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ann Sacks Lucian has 4" x 4" tiles. They're in the AS "Basics" collection, which are mostly under $20 sf. I just used their matte finish 1" x 6" mosaic for a kitchen backsplash, and found the quality very nice. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Daily Issues - 101206
RUSSIA/POLAND - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday begins a
two-day official visit to Poland, where he will meet with Polish President
Bronislaw Komorowski and Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Marko is working on a piece on this
MOLDOVA - So far no new developments being reported from today, but over
the weekend the Communists and Lupu's Democratic party apparently agreed
to form a coalition.
Lauren has a discussion out but is waiting on confirmation
Short Term Projects
. Fergana clan breakdown - Eugene & Lauren - In Stratfor's assessment
of Central Asia, Fergana Valley is the core of the region. Instead of
looking at that core being split between three countries, it is important
to look at it from a clan perspective, throwing border divisions aside.
o Preliminary research & Eugene forming discussion
. A re-look at Kaliningrad - Melissa - As Russia resurges back into
Europe, solidifies its alliance with Germany and neutralizes Poland, what
is the status of the little exclave in the middle of it all? What military
is really still present and what does this tell us of Russia's intentions.
What future military presence is Russia planning? What else can the
exclave be used for?
. GEORGIA/S. OSSETIA - There seems to be quite a few new military
procurements in Georgia. Where are they getting the equipment? Its 3
largest suppliers - Israel, Kazakhstan & Ukraine - have all ceased sales
since the war. But out of the three, Israel, would be the most likely to
resume & it just so happens that there are also rumors of new tank deals
being made between the two, something the Israelis have denied.
o Lauren will be intel-ing this to separate rumor from possibilities
(though we could have a piece based on the rumors until intel comes)
Medium Term Projects
. Russia's turn to East Asia - Lauren - there have been quite a few
moves by Russia to suggest a real focus on East Asia. Militarily,
Economically and Diplomatically. So is this a real shift in focus, how
much of a real presence can Russia really have in the region and how will
the region's heavyweights - China, Japan, SouKor and US - react?
o After the Blue Sky (Nov. 10), this issue can be looked at on how to
publish our findings
Long Term Projects
. Russian Tandem - Lauren - Presidential and legislative election
season is kicking off in Russia in January 2011. There have been rumors
for the past 2 years that the Kremlin Tandem - Medvedev & Putin - are
going to be fighting for control. Is this true? Most of the intelligence
says no, but the evolution of power in the Kremlin is being broken down to
see where things are headed.
o Tentatively, a preliminary presentation of information after
Thanksgiving with write-ups beginning in December for a January
. Russian Gold - Lauren - Russians (Kremlin and
Kremlin-friendly-oligarchs) have been buying up gold companies and assets
around the world - Canada, Venezuela, South Africa, Kazakhstan &
Kyrgyzstan. Why? Is there a bigger plan on the globe's gold? Where else
are they moving into?
o This is a long-term issue with no eta yet. & requests for information
out to Kevin, Mark, Rodger, Reva & Research. A piece will most likely come
out of the Venezuelan issue from Reva, but a larger look will have to be
determined once information is gathered

The Lenovo all-in-one PC we reviewed is the closest to the iMac performancewise, but that's not saying too much. The HP and Sony systems mentioned above might fare better, the HP especially since it at least has the mobile version of Intel's Core i7 CPUs. However, from all indications on paper and in our lab, the 27-inch iMac is the fastest all-in-one currently available. We included the $1,199 Gateway FX6840-03e tower desktop to illustrate that you can still build a standard PC that can compete with the iMac for a much lower cost. For all-in-one purists, the iMac is the clear choice if productivity is your top priority.
(Longer bars indicate better performance)
Maximum settings (2,560x1,440) | Recommend settings (2,560x1,440) |
We can also report positively about the iMac as a gaming platform. Yes, the Mac gaming library is still limited compared with that of Windows, but Valve Software's recent release of a Mac version of its Steam digital game distribution service has already paid off with Valve bringing its popular first-person games Half-Life 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 to Macs. The three games we tested all use Valve's Source 3D graphics engine, so we can't say that you'll see similar scores across all titles available for the Mac. Still, we were glad to see that even at full resolution and maximum image quality settings, the iMac was able to handle all three games relatively well. Using the more forgiving "recommended" settings for each game (as denoted by an asterisk in each game's video options tab), we saw even better performance with relatively little drop-off in image quality.
Even before Valve came along, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo-maker Blizzard Software has historically been committed to the Mac platform. Doom and Quake-developer id Software has also shown similar loyalty. Among those three vendors, that's an impressive array of quality games available for the Mac, and the list is growing. Popular role playing game Dragon Age: Origins also has a Mac version, and the cloud gaming service OnLive supports a variety of titles that work with OS X. Windows PCs will remain the gaming enthusiasts' primary choice because of their upgradeability, at least for the foreseeable future; however, with the expanded Mac gaming library and this system's fast new ATI graphics card, we can confidently recommend this iMac for gaming.
Aside from our gripes about the iMac's video inputs, we're relatively happy with the other ports on the back of this system. You get four USB 2.0 port, a pair of audio jacks, a FireWire 800 port, and an Ethernet adapter. Both eSATA and USB 3.0 are faster data throughput options than FireWire 800, so those who face bottlenecks from large data transfers might feel some frustration at Apple's loyalty to the IEEE 1394 standard. For most consumers, the iMac's existing ports will be sufficient.
Juice box | |
Apple iMac 27-inch (2.8GHz Intel Core i5) | Average watts per hour |
Off | 0.85 |
Sleep | 1.19 |
Idle | 41.83 |
Load | 238.64 |
Raw (annual kWh) | 237.39162 |
Energy Star compliant | Yes |
Annual power consumption cost | $26.94 |
As usual, Apple's power management skill is evident in this iMac. We always appreciate a desktop that is both more efficient and faster than competing systems. As with the 21.5-inch iMac, we noted that this 27-inch model was extremely hot on the back panel, especially after gaming. A handheld laser thermometer showed temperatures as high as 118 degrees over the area on the back panel we assume concealed the graphics card. Most other all-in-ones we've tested come in around 85 degrees. You'll want to be sure to keep the iMac in a place where it has plenty of ventilation to avoid it overheating.
Finally, we continue to find Apple's service and support policies cynically structured to encourage you to spend money. You get 90 days of toll-free support and a yearlong warranty by default. After that, you can either refer to Apple's Web site, a Genius Bar, an Apple-authorized service provider, or pay $169 for three years of phone service via AppleCare, which also extends your warranty to three years. That all-or-basically nothing approach for phone support puts Apple at odds with the rest of the PC industry that typically includes at least a year of phone support, if not a lifetime of coverage, at no additional charge.

VIDEO: Kelly Clarkson Does Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Sometimes it's easy to forget that something besides well-deserved celebrity disses are capable of coming out of Kelly Clarkson's mouth.
But the American Idol fave reminded everyone that she can sing pretty good too on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday night. Clarskon busted out two songs, "My Life Would Suck Without You" and a stripped-down rendition of "Already Gone," for the audience.

Energy Transfer Equity Announces Series Of Steps To Further Position It For Value Creation Into 2014
Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. ( NYSE:ETE ) ("ETE" or the "Partnership") today announced that the board of directors of its general partner has approved a series of measures to continue ETE's growth into 2014, including a two-for-one split of the Partnership's outstanding common units ("Unit Split") and a $1 billion buyback program for its common units.
The Unit Split will be effected by a distribution of one common unit for each common unit outstanding and held by unitholders of record at the close of business on January 13, 2014. The Unit Split is expected to be completed on January 24, 2014. The buyback program will be put into place immediately and will be available to be accessed by the Partnership. The program is intended to be used opportunistically and will be utilized and sequenced from time to time depending on the trading price activity and performance for ETE's common units. The common units will be repurchased in the open market at the Partnership's discretion. The Partnership may commence, suspend or discontinue purchases of common units under this authorization at any time without prior notice and any common units repurchased will be canceled.
Assuming approximately 280 million ETE common units outstanding as of December 31, 2013, ETE expects to have approximately 560 million ETE common units outstanding following completion of the Unit Split. The Partnership's quarterly distribution amount going forward will reflect this Unit Split.
In addition, the Partnership will continue to support the continued growth of the Energy Transfer family of partnerships and has committed to purchase, at approximately today's market price, $400 million of Regency Energy Partners LP ( NYSE: RGP ) common units as part of the consideration for RGP's approximately $1.3 billion acquisition of the midstream business of Eagle Rock Energy Partners. ETE will acquire approximately 16.5 million RGP units effective as of and conditioned on the closing of that transaction.
The Eagle Rock transaction is a compelling complement to Regency's platform and the pro forma combination with PVR Partners. The cash flow accretion from this transaction symbolizes Regency's commitment to unitholder growth while being opportunistic. Regency is now positioned firmly among the leaders in the broader MLP industry with a strong asset base and excellent prospects for future growth. ETE's purchase of $400 million of Regency common units demonstrates its commitment and confidence in Regency's successful future growth and value.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Devil's food cake layers enriched with milk chocolate and a trio of extracts are sandwiched with the simplest and most decadent stuffing of them all--ready-to-eat cheesecake filling and cherry pie filling. Capped off with fudge frosting and gooey chocolate-covered cherries, it's a cinch to wow your guests.
Oxmoor House MARCH 2007
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans, and dust with cocoa. Set aside.
2. Beat cake mix and next 7 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer 1 minute; beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Fold in chopped chocolate. Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake at 350° for 30 to 32 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and chill cake layers at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
4. Using a serrated knife, slice cake layers in half horizontally to make 4 layers. Place 1 layer, cut side up, on cake plate. Spread one-third of cheesecake filling over cake; top with one-third of cherry pie filling. Repeat procedure twice with remaining cheesecake filling and cherry filling. Place final cake layer on top of cake; cut side down. Spread chocolate fudge frosting on top and sides of cake. Cover and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve. Garnish, if desired. Store in refrigerator.
Test Kitchen Tip: We tested this recipe with Philadelphia ready-to-eat cheesecake filling. You'll find it in the dairy case with cream cheese products.

Oct. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Energy Department's natural-gas inventory report, scheduled for release at 10:30 a.m. in Washington, will show that supplies rose 3.1 percent last week, according to a survey of Bloomberg users.
The government's Natural Gas Storage Report will show that inventories gained 108 billion cubic feet in the week ended Oct. 14 to 3.629 trillion cubic feet, according to the survey.
Natural gas for November delivery rose 2.2 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $3.608 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 10:22 a.m.
Bloomberg compiles the anonymous survey based on estimates by at least 100 users each week.

Finding Apartments for Rent in Starkville, MS
Starkville, MS is a college town, located just east of the campus of Mississippi State. You will find a large number of apartments throughout the town, many of them built specifically to cater to college students. A number of apartments have their own individual community grounds designed to foster relationships between residents, many of whom probably attend the university.
Starkville is located east of the university, so it's also possible to find some apartments that cater to residents seeking a quieter lifestyle the further east you get from the university.
Top Neighborhoods in Starkville, MS
Apartments in downtown Starkville are a nice mix of those looking for the college lifestyle and those looking for a friendly suburban neighborhood. There are both college bars and Mom and Pop style shops and restaurants.
If you want to get away from the college kids, there are plenty of other choices throughout Oktibbeha County. Residential streets near the Starkville school district tend to attract local families with children and will provide seclusion from the busy campus lifestyle that families are seeking.

Sports in Starkville, MS
If you're not a Mississippi State University fan, you're going to have a hard time fitting in with other residents in Starkville. "Hail State" is a common greeting as well as a cheer for the local sports teams. It's safe to say, in fact, that a great deal of the community revolves around the local college sports teams. You can't go anywhere without seeing at least a few crimson and white jerseys or T-shirts from a college student or local resident showing off their hometown pride.
Out of all of the sports offered at MSU, football is king. The rivalry with the University of Mississippi Rebels in Oxford, MS is epic. If you're an Ole Miss graduate living in Starkville, you can expect to get quite a bit of trash talk coming your way. Fans will often tailgate before every home football game and even for some other sports as well.
New South Weekends offer Friday night events prior to each home football game and are well attended by the entire community. These can range from wine tastings to neighborhood block parties.

Confessions of a Slenderman Fangirl Part 1I grew up in a small town.I wasn't anything special.Just an ordinary girl.In an ordinary house,with a not-so-ordinary secret...It started when I was a child.I used to get this strange dream... it repeated every few weeks or so...but it was always the same...I was alone... I'm my basement. It was dark... So dark...I was afraid. I kept calling up the stairs for my Grandpa... I was to scared to climb the stairs.Then the door at the top of the stairs opened...It wasn't my Grandpa.I saw it... It... was...A man stood at the top of the stairs... He was so tall...He had on a suit and tie, kinda like the one Daddy used to wear when he visited me.It had no bright colors, just a black suit and a black tie, with a white shirt underneath.That wasn't what scared me...His face... Where was his face!?!He had no face.... I
Slenderman Creepypasta/Story part 1I jolted up from my sleep. Another nightmare. I see the same thing every night. The pale, blank face of a man in a suit. I really need therapy. I checked my alarm clock to see the time. 7:45 A.M.I dragged myself out of bed and walked downstairs. Sitting there were my 3 friends. Mike, James, and Carter. They already made breakfast. "Hey, you need to set that alarm clock to a louder noise. We didn't even hear it." By the way, we all live together as roommates. To save money on separate houses. Plus, i don't any of us could get enough money to pay the rent for 4 different houses. Oh, and also, my name is Toby.I sat down at the table and slammed my face against it. I almost fell asleep again until some one slapped me in the face, put down a plate and yelled, "EAT SOME BACON AND WAKE UP." Typical James.I lifted my head and ate the bacon and eggs on the plate. "Hey, have you guys ever heard of that mythical creature that lives in the forest?" Carter asked. James laug
How Slenderman and Jeff MetSlenderman kept his easy pace through the forest, he scanned every inch of the woods. Night was his favorite time to be out, no human child could see him from a distance. The night clouds covered the full moon, stars were scattered across the sky.Summer nights meant camping, camping meant children. Sadly, he wasn't seeing any signs of nearby activity, all he heard was crickets, owls, the harsh wind, and... crying?Slenderman bolted to the sound where the sobbing was coming from, from a close enough distance, he saw some one with messy, long raven hair and a hoody. What stood out was the blood that soaked the hoody in every bit. Now Slenderman was cautious.Though it wasn't like the kid could hurt him in anyway, but he had encountered his kind before. How he'd hate to get his suit bloody. He backed away slowly so the child wouldn't look up from his sobbing. But he did, and saw the tall slender figure that stood in the shadows of the forest.He fell silent.Though he had no eyes, Slende

Newspapers Face the Prisoner's Dilemma With Google
Re:never happen (290 comments)
Hard to say what companies will do when money is on the line, although I'd like to believe they wouldn't also.
I would think Google cares whether an industry is not coming up in their search results. That said, there surely is a way to get standard feeds like you said.
People around here and probably across the US care about local news A LOT. Old saying "all new is local". However, I don't think searching Google is the way for people to get a lot of this local news. I think they go to their city's news website and read the headlines or favorite sections. I think the contradiction is when there is breaking news, and people search key terms. But then again, most breaking news can be found by going directly to the front page of these websites. That said, it seems like a moot point. Besides, Bing can't pay everyone. On a side note, I've seen people search their wesite instead of using the address bar for whatever reason, but the top domain will still come up.

Marlon Wayans' career is shockingly diverse, considering he's been in everything from "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" and "Mo' Money" to "Requiem for a Dream" and "The Ladykillers." But he's back to his old insane comic stylings in "A Haunted House 2," a spoof of horror movies like "The Conjuring," and that means he's plenty vulgar, plenty weird, and plenty naked, actually. We caught up with Wayans (who is only 41 even though he's been famous for 20+ years) to discuss making child actors say vulgar things, writing nude scenes for himself, and why dramatic movies are much easier to film than comedies. »

Will Smith - Page 2
'After Earth' Review
Seventeen summers ago, Will Smith gave us the catch phrase "welcome to Earth" and then punched an alien in the face. This time he's the invading alien (kinda) and his new line "this is Earth" is much more doom and gloom than swagger. An international icon, father and potentially the next great crazy celebrity, Will Smith is finally ready to pass the baton to his son Jaden.
But it isn't a baton he's using in 'After Earth' (an original sci-fi film based on a story of Smith's own creation) but a C-40 Cutlass – a doohickey kinda like Darth Maul's lightsaber, which springs out different blades depending on what you need. Actually, we never quite know how the Cutlass in 'After Earth' works, but it is one of a number of really nifty gizmos that populates the half-baked mythos of this film.
Will Smith Doesn't Take Kindly to Kardashian Komparisons
Will Smith may have kids in the biz, but that doesn't mean he's trying to emulate Kris Jenner. And if you imply that it does, he's not going to be happy with you.
DJ Jazzy Jeff, Will Smith, Jaden Smith + Alfonso Ribeiro Deliver Epic Raps – And 'The Carlton' [VIDEO]
Will Smith said Kanye West is trying to get him to rap again, and the bug apparently bit him hard.
The 'After Earth' actor joined his son and co-star Jaden Smith on 'The Graham Norton Show,' where they not only did a duet of Jaden's hit 'Hello' -- they also delivered some classic 'Fresh Prince' rhymes and moves ... with some special guests.

Kanye West Encouraging Will Smith to Rap Again
Remember when Kanye West encouraged Kim Kardashian to record a single? And how that turned out?
He's now encouraging Will Smith to start rapping again. While that would certainly yield better results, do we really need to relive 'Big Willie Style'?
Will Smith Up For 'The Wild Bunch' Remake
Warner Brothers has had their sights on a remake of Sam Peckinpah's western masterpiece 'The Wild Bunch' for quite some time, and they may have found their perfect leading man in Will Smith, who's looking to produce and star in their contemporary version.
