During discussions with customers about verification and functional coverage closure techniques, one thing that has consistently surprised me is how much reliance is sometimes placed on the unquantified benefits of random testing. There are many well-quantified benefits to constrained-random stimulus generation. Using algebraic constraints to declaratively describe a stimulus domain and automation to create specific stimulus dramatically boosts verification efficiency and results in verification of corner cases that humans would be unlikely to consider. More difficult to quantify, however, are the benefits of redundant stimulus. It is definitely beneficial in provoking some sequential behavior, but how much redundancy is enough and how much is just wasteful? I work with a tool that accelerates functional coverage closure by efficiently targeting stimulus that will 'cover' the coverage model. The typical result is an order-of-magnitude improvement in time-to-coverage closure. The core productivity benefit of reducing time-to-coverage is typically understood by the customers I talk with. As designs have become more complex, verification requirements have increased, coverage models have grown, and coverage closure has become challenging, unpredictable and time-consuming. So, some automation in achieving coverage closure is a welcome addition to one's verification toolkit. However, there is concern over what might be lost in the stimulus-optimization process. Is all that 'redundant' stimulus really important and not so redundant after all?
This concern seems quite valid. After all, coverage metrics are a subjective measure of verification quality. Achieving coverage of a specific set of coverage metrics proves that a given set of functionality was exercised, but doesn't prove that this is the only functionality that needed to be exercised. The coverage model is a dynamic, moving target, and is likely to change several times across the typical verification cycle. The coverage model may be expanded as new features are added. The coverage model may be trimmed, or certain areas re-prioritized, as the schedule runs out or as certain coverage is deemed less important or cost-prohibitive. Finally, the coverage model may be expanded to include functional areas where bugs were found. From a coverage-driven verification perspective, verification that isn't documented in the coverage model effectively does not exist. Verification that uncovered a bug should be repeated as the design is refined and changed. The only way to guarantee this happens is to augment the coverage model.
Across the verification cycle, two activities are taking place in parallel. Tests are added and simulation is run to target coverage closure. Meanwhile, bugs discovered during verification are analyzed to determine whether the coverage model should be expanded to functionality surrounding the bug – an activity I like to refer to as bug prospecting. As an example, let's say we discover a bug with large packets in heavy traffic conditions. We might want to exercise different combinations of traffic conditions and small, medium, and large packets to see if the coverage model should be enhanced. Stimulus described using a declarative description, such as constraints, does a good job of producing unexpected cases. When stimulus is produced randomly, however, 90% of the stimulus, on average, is redundant. This makes systematic bug prospecting difficult and time consuming.
A coverage-aware stimulus generation tool like inFact allows the verification engineer to flexibly tailor stimulus according to the requirements of the job at hand. When time-to-coverage closure is the most important thing (regression runs, for example), coverage-aware stimulus provides the ultimate convergence between coverage-closure efficiency and bug prospecting. When it's time to do some bug prospecting, redundancy can be limited (but not eliminated) and the stimulus targeted a bit more loosely. Then, the coverage model can be enhanced to ensure future regression runs efficiently produce the newly-interesting stimulus. So, far from limiting verification, coverage-aware stimulus actually gives the verification engineer new and improved tools to tackle bug prospecting and coverage closure.

I suspect that the shit is going to hit the fan sometime within the near future.

I have read similar elsewhere, and if they are selling stock what are they replacing it with, precious metals or stones, land, commodities? It can't be cash the way the FED and other governments are printing so much more of the stuff, it'll only be useful to paper the walls. Any ideas?

What's that Wall Street saying about 'go away in May...'? They followed this rule throughout the 90s during the heyday, and it was the 'banking holiday' pattern for most decades before that, unless something was in the pipeline ready to affect the market. Usually, the 'smart money', ie. the market movers, sell out 2-3 months before the markets start to 'tank'.... drop for the summer. They advertise this before and during their exit as the markets continue to be pushed, ie manipulated upwards, mostly done on the futures markets these days. The rest of their followers remain to play the market in those last few weeks selling to suckers even on the way down, thinking things will rebound. Every push down has always been accompanied with a later push back up months later, usually after Labor Day here in the States, though in recent years, high speed computer trading has taken over and alot of that 'smart money' never returned to the game. This remains a sore spot for market analysts, but still ignored as the Fed has easily taken up the slack and then some. The Fed can buy up the entire global market if allowed to. The question is when all the other central bankers choose to jump from the proverbial wagon they've hitched themselves to, as in the end, 'there can be only One'. Psycho or not, it's all about who can become the 'last man standing', before Mother Nature comes back to clean house and ends the party.
So the uptrend continues as the 'smart money' exits, selling into strength, which is always easier than selling into weakness. Hard to sell a large position without buyers, as the buyers of last resort are supposed to be the 'market makers', ie, the Wall Street firms themselves. It's their game to play as they like. It's all a question of what page of the script we are on, for the next 'crash' might be the last, so let's enjoy it while we can.

This Is Your Captain Speaking -- Anonymously
As a captain on a Boeing 747 that regularly flies in and out of Miami, I totally agree with other angered citizens mentioned in Kirk Semple's article who, like me, live beneath the departure path of Miami International Airport ("It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a Noise-Abatement Issue!" September 11). There is absolutely no reason that every heavy aircraft departing MIA should not fly the International Civil Aviation Organization's close-in community departure profile. None. Not one. Almost every major First World airport in existence requires this profile. If you don't know what it is, look it up.
And you might check out information about Amsterdam's Schipol airport, one of Europe's busiest, which is about to be closed to all jet traffic during evening hours. That's like shutting down MIA from midnight to 6:00 a.m.
The incredibly corrupt Dade County Aviation Department has just not been offered the correct inducement. I'd bet that if someone came up with some hot cash in a cold bank account for the right people, noise abatement would be instituted overnight.
Like the pilot in Mr. Semple's story, I do not need to be identified. I am too well-known around MIA.

Though I have not even heard Steve Winwood's new album, I am sure it has some fine moments and that Ben Greenman is just a dung beetle posing as a human being ("Arc of a Moron," September 11). No, wait -- that's an insult to dung beetles. But I'm sure he eats shit nonetheless.
Obviously the purpose of New Times is just to criticize -- not justifiably, but just to criticize. This brings to mind the old adage, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. And those who can't teach, teach shop." And now: Those who can't do anything, write for New Times.

You could have taken the high road and coughed up an apology for John Floyd's low-road article ("Sickly Sweet Baby James," September 4). It was shoddy journalism -- and I use that word loosely.

U.S. Doesn't Need to Go to Haiti to Find Tyrants
Regarding Jim DeFede's column "A Marked Man" (August 28), the Immigration and Naturalization Services's duplicitous detainment and interrogation of Haitian national Dany Toussaint resonated with the classic Orwellian theme of a ubiquitous government's lawlessness and impunity. How else would one explain the FBI machinations via e-mail and the inherently vindictive and personalized policy Congress has devised to bar Mr. Toussaint's entry into the United States?
As a future lawyer and a human being of conscience, I am appalled by the circumstances surrounding Mr. Toussaint's detainment. It is my understanding that the INS is an administrative agency with a narrowly defined mandate. Yet in this case we see the politicization of the INS as an instrument for formulating U.S. policy in Haiti.
Minimally speaking, the role the INS has played in the Toussaint affair thus far reeks of procedural irregularities. Moreover, the broad discretion afforded the INS through legislation legitimizes a policy of ad hoc decision-making fueled by unprincipled motives. I use the word unprincipled because there is simply no legal grounding for a standard that Toussaint's attorney, Ira Kurzban, characterizes as "ridiculous ... because the government does not have to prove anything."

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) are now central to the treatment of renal anemia and are associated with improved clinical outcomes. It is well known that erythropoietin (EPO) is a key regulator of erythropoiesis through its promotion of red blood cell production. In order to investigate the role of ESA on iron metabolism, we analyzed the regulation of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin by ESA treatment in a bone marrow transplant model in mouse. After treating C57BL/6 mice with continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (C.E.R.A.), recombinant human epoetin-β (rhEPO), or recombinant human carbamylated epoetin-β (rhCEPO), we investigated serum hepcidin concentrations and parameters of erythropoiesis. Serum hepcidin concentrations after rhEPO treatment were analyzed in mice subjected to total body irradiation followed by bone marrow transplantation. C.E.R.A. administration caused long-term downregulation of serum hepcidin levels. Serum hepcidin levels in rhEPO-treated mice decreased significantly, whereas there was no change in rhCEPO-treated mice. The reduction in circulating hepcidin levels after rhEPO administration was not observed in irradiated mice. Finally, bone marrow transplantation recovered the response to rhEPO administration that downregulates hepcidin concentration in irradiated mice. These results indicate that ESA treatment downregulates serum hepcidin concentrations, mainly by indirect mechanisms affecting hematopoietic activity in bone marrow cells.

This week, I'm super excited to post for your enjoyment here my recent chat with Sarah King of Mimoza Design! Her company does amazing work with flowers, although you don't have to take my word for it – you can check out the website and see for yourself! Read on for the interview:
What's the most important thing for couples to keep in mind when planning their flowers?
The biggest thing is budget – too many times, couples don't put aside enough money for the flowers (and the labor in designing and arranging them as well!). Although each financial situation and wedding style is different, I would recommend preparing to pay $80-120 per table for the average centerpiece arrangement.
When should a couple book their flowers?
In my experience, most couples book 3-6 months before the actual day of their wedding. I would say, definitely book as soon as you secure your venue (because the type of venue will help determine the style of flowers you want) and/or at least 3 months before the big day. You want to give yourself – and your florist – enough time to make your vision come true while also staying within a set budget, but you also don't want to give yourself too much time and have second thoughts!
What recommendations do you have for couples who wish to go the DIY route?
First off, always make sure to ask the opinion of a professional first – I'm always happy to give DIY couples some helpful tips free of charge! The most common advice I give is to keep it simple – don't try to make an elaborate arrangement; stick to a clean design instead that features a single bloom. Also, before committing to the DIY route, keep in mind that on the day of your wedding, someone has to make sure the flowers are stored in a cool space and kept out of sunlight beforehand (as well as make sure every bloom is perfectly in place when the guests start to arrive). This is a major reason why hiring a florist – despite the additional cost – has the major benefit of bringing you peace of mind to fully enjoy your special day; somebody else, not you, worries about making sure your flowers look their absolute best.
What other advice do you have for our readers?
Before meeting with your florist for the first time, come prepared with design inspiration (Pinterest is especially helpful here!) Although here's a disclaimer: what's been put online has been put there for a reason (namely that it looks very nice and is accordingly more expensive). Also, choosing flowers that will be in season during your wedding will help keep costs from ballooning.
Well, readers, I hope you enjoyed this talk and found it helpful! And if you enjoyed Mimoza Design's work, be sure to like their Facebook page!

Japan Airlines (JAL), as part of its financial turnaround plan, will be announcing a new round of route suspensions and reductions in services.
The announcement will probably be made tomorrow and involves suspension of services on eight domestic and 10 international routes, says a well-placed industry source familiar with the situation.
These changes will take effect in December and next year, says the source, adding that there will also be other routes that will experience a reduction in frequency.
The 10 international routes being suspended are: Tokyo Narita-Hangzhou, Vancouver-Mexico City, Tokyo Narita-Qingdao, Tokyo Narita-Xiamen, Osaka Kansai-Busan, Osaka Kansai-Hangzhou, Osaka Kansai-Hanoi and Singapore-Kuala Lumpur, says the source.
The eight domestic routes to be suspended are: Kitakyushu-Okinawa Naha, Kobe-Ishigaki, Kobe-Okinawa Naha, Kobe-Sapporo Chitose, Kobe-Tokyo Haneda, Nagoya Chubu-Hanamaki, Nagoya Chubu-Kumamoto and Nagoya Chubu-Kushiro.
JAL has been losing money and is in talks with the government for a financial bail-out.

What a great dance. Love the different step patterns. I think this is going to be thumbs up with my lot once they have fully mastered the routine!
Denise Nicholls - 03/01/2014
Big hit in class, some different steps that made you think, a couple of sections needed going over, but once mastered filled the floor everytime.
Jackie Barber - 02/01/2014
A dance with some step patterns that need to be mastered. The walk and toe touches after the 3/4 turn catch you out and so does the point, ball cross and two quarter turns into two sailors. You have to make sure that you transfer the weight back onto the right leg before undertaking the sailors. Once you can do this you can relax and enjoy the dance. Nothing too difficult for high level improver and intermediate dancers.
Mike Parkinson - 01/01/2014
Haven't review much lately, due to P.C problems, time to get back into the driving seat, and review a few. Agree with (Jan Bach) & M Louise cracking little dance for my New Year teaching, a few different types of steps. Also the music not bad, sounds countryish - sounds rappish. you decide!! Thanks PandA keep 'em coming we'll keep dancing 'em. Loveallyour Overtones Party Collections too. Reviews will follow watch this space.

Dear Mark: Calcium Supplements, Goitrogenic Foods, High-MUFA Seed Oils, and Jogging
Posted By Mark Sisson On September 5, 2011 @ 8:00 am In Dear Mark,Supplements | 51 Comments
Today's edition of "Dear Mark" covers a variety of topics. We've got calcium supplementation – does it make sense and is it safe? Then, I briefly discuss cruciferous vegetables, which are said to have negative effects on thyroid health. Some studies support this, but are they an issue for healthy people? I also look at seed oils high in monounsaturated [7] fats (yes, they exist) and low in the much-maligned polyunsaturated [8] fats, and I discuss their suitability in a Primal eating plan [9]. And finally, a reader asks if jogging is ever okay and, if so, how to do it the right way.
With that out of the way, let's get to the questions.
Hi Mark,
What do you think about calcium supplements for woman?
Not a whole lot. I covered this [10] a couple years ago, but I'll expand today.
Most of the literature has found isolated calcium supplementation to be ineffective at its purported job [11] (strengthening bones and increasing resistance to fractures) and way too good at others (increasing the risk of heart attacks [12], for example). They've also found that dietary calcium (the naturally occurring calcium that you might get from leafy greens or dairy) acts differently than supplementary calcium. In one study [13], supplementary calcium, but not dietary calcium, was strongly associated with an increased risk of kidney stone formation. You don't supplement calcium for increased stone formation, do you? The latest review [14] says it all: despite the potential role of calcium supplementation in maintaining bone health being "physiologically appealing," the "latest data" indicate that calcium supplementation is associated with "an increased risk of myocardial infarction and, possibly, stroke," a risk "that is not mitigated by co-administration of vitamin D."
Eat your greens [15], dairy (if you do dairy [16]), organs [17], and bones [18]. Get some sun [19]. Lift and carry [20] heavy things. If you feel you're missing some key dietary or lifestyle components, supplement with vitamin K2, vitamin D [21], and magnesium. Only supplement with calcium if you're getting the aforementioned factors, too (a recent study [22] reveals the crucial interplay between vitamin K2 [23], vitamin D, and calcium in bone mineral density maintenance). Don't just isolate a single nutrient. You need all of them.
Hey Mark,
I love your blog and book. I've been an active, athletic person for the last 10 years, going from Crossfit to Olympic Weightlifting to just being a gym junkie. I've been eating a primalish/paleo diet since around '03 with the mentality to eat real foods.
I've been really enjoying your blog and book and it has gotten me thinking about other dimensions of what it means to be healthy ranging from sleep to sprinting to rest and play. Gone are my days of being a gym junkie, stressing about missed workouts and worrying about numerical goals but more of an emphasis on play, being outdoors and enjoying myself. Subsequently my gym workouts are less frequent, better and a lot more fun. I feel leaner, pound for pound stronger and generally happier.
Regardless, I've read a bit lately about goitrogenic foods and their effects on thyroid functions. Some goitrogenic foods include broccoli, kale, cauliflower and cabbage. These cruciferous vegetables are of my favourite foods and are of my staple foods. As a healthy and active 30 year old male, is there a risk of thyroid problems related to overconsumption of my favorite foods or is this mainly a concern for those at risk of hypothyroidism?
Thanks Mark and keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the kind words, Troy. Emails like yours really motivate me to keep going.
Goitrogenic foods don't appear to be a huge issue for healthy people. While this article [24] claims that hypothyroidism has been induced in animals by feeding goitrogenic foods, I followed the links and found nothing related. I imagine it's true; I just couldn't confirm. It's definitely true that an 88-year old woman gave herself hypothyroidism and fell into a coma after several months of a daily one-kilo raw bok choy habit [25], but those are extreme conditions (Have you ever tried to eat over two pounds of raw bok choy? Don't do it, especially not for several months straight.). More moderate consumption of cruciferous/goitrogenic foods, like, say, 150 grams of cooked Brussels sprouts every day for four weeks [26], is probably fine for thyroid function.
That said, hypothyroid patients (or those who suspect they suffer from it) should avoid raw cruciferous veggies altogether, instead choosing steamed or boiled (which greatly reduce goitrogenic potential) kale, broccoli, cabbage, and brussel sprouts. Since goitrogens increase the demand for iodine, they should also make sure iodine [27] intake is adequate; a rat study [28] where replacing 1/3 of the rats' feed with raw cabbage induced alterations in thyroid status and increased thyroid weight after 60 days, even when the rats were given "moderate iodine." But at "high iodine" intake, these effects were mitigated. They should also make sure not to replace 1/3 of their normal diet with raw cabbage.
Dear Mark,
I've been reading a lot of labels on so-called "health" foods that have high-oleic sunflower or safflower oil listed as one of the ingredients. Since oleic acid is the monounsaturated fat so highly touted in avocados, olive oil, and almonds, what is your take on these oils?
They're actually not terrible. If you stick with reputable companies that cold-press or expeller-press their oils without chemical solvents or high heat, high-oleic sunflower and safflower oils are good in a pinch. They don't taste like much of anything, making them good for homemade mayonnaise [29], and they contain vitamin E (if they're expeller-pressed), making them resistant to oxidation. Furthermore, high-oleic sunflower and safflower seeds aren't products of genetic modification, if you're trying to avoid GMOs.
For flavor, I stick with butter [30], olive oil [31], coconut oil [32], or red palm oil [33] every single time, but the high-oleic versions of sunflower and safflower oil are far superior to other vegetable and seed oils. Don't let this answer be a gateway to vegan "healthy junk food" consumption, though…
Thank you so much for this website. It's such a tremendous resource of information and inspiration!
I'm sorry, but I'm currently unable to place jogging in a correct context in the Primal Blueprint. Initially, I thought for sure it fell into the Chronic Cardio camp. But then, in The Primal Blueprint, you suggest it for low-intensity aerobic movement (if one is really fit). Does it come down to the heart rate and time spent?
Thanks a lot,
You can boil it down to heart rate and time spent, if you like objective measurements. Certain types of people dig the number porn (particularly the type of person that gravitates toward endurance running, in my extensive experience) and want objective feedback. That's cool and it totally works, especially when you're just starting. Ultimately, however, it'll come down to enjoyment and aptitude. Do you love jogging (or whatever activity it is that you're questioning)? If yes, then do it (but stop when it becomes a huge drag). Are you really good at it? If you are, then you can probably go harder than most without it becoming Chronic Cardio [34].
If I were you and I wanted to jog without it getting excessive, I would measure my heart rate and running duration for the first couple times until I began to understand what my targets felt like. So, hit your desired rate, note it, observe yourself, and ask questions. How's the stamina level? Is this fun? How are your joints feeling? Is this a stressful experience? Am I enjoying myself? How is my overall health? Does my immune system seem to be functioning well? Eventually, you'll be able to ditch the measurements and go on feeling alone.
I've got tons more questions in the pipeline, but I'm always looking for more. Send yours along and I'll do my best to address them. In the meantime, hit up the comment section. Offer advice of your own, and thanks for reading!

Is Obama Strong on National Security? Of Course Not and Here's the Iron-Clad Case Against Him
Let me explain to you why the Obama administration's propaganda leak effort to prove the president is tough on national security is nonsense.
Almost every example, with two exceptions — a computer virus against Iran and regime change in Libya — revolves around the willingness to combat or kill al-Qaeda leaders, including Osama bin Laden. There has never been any question that the Obama administration views al-Qaeda as an enemy and a danger that should be wiped out — that isn't the problem. The problem is this is the only factor in the world this administration sees as a national security threat, since al-Qaeda is eager to launch direct attacks against targets on American soil.
The administration does not act against any other possible national security threat, be it Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela, North Korea, China, Russia, Pakistan, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Turkish Islamist regime, the Muslim Brotherhood, or anything else. The administration has shown its belief that engagement, flattery, refusal to help their intended victims, and concessions can win over these enemies. It has even tried to redefine the Taliban as a group that can be conciliated and given a share in a new Afghan government, despite its involvement in September 11.
The only partial exception to that list is Iran. Yet even there, the Obama administration avoided doing anything for almost three years, and even now the government has been desperate to make a deal with Tehran. Only Iran's intransigence — and preference for stalling — has prevented some bargain. Even on the Iran issue, the administration did less than Congress wanted and virtually exempted China, Russia, and Turkey from having to observe the sanctions.
Thus, the one other case of administration "toughness" has been support for Israel's strategy of using such delaying tactics as computer viruses. Of course, the administration is happy with low-cost, no-risk ideas that postpone its having to deal with Iran having nuclear weapons.
During its term, the administration has not been tough in terms of helping allies all over the world. A few dozen governments friendly or allied with America have been very disappointed by U.S. policy.

Sometimes I wonder if Obama is trying to make himself appear contemptible?
No other President needed such informicals as the NYT supplies him with in the course of revealing classified information.Or maybe he does see himself as a real-life comic book superhero? Globama-man in the flesh! Look, up in the sky, faster than a denial of leaking classified information, higher than the deficit or his opinion of himself (OK maybe not that high), it's Globama-man come to save the day.
Actually Obama is achieving things I previously thought were impossible. Before this I never considered that anything could further lower my opinion of him. I may support his re-election just out of curiosity to see how far down he can go.

This is exactly the type of material, and presented in this way, that placed in front of those smart (!)lawyers in our Congress could start a movement towards Impeachment Proceedings against this Chameleon Obama.
Bill Clinton went through Impeachment for an oral dalliance in a closet near the Oval Office…..anybody remember that nasty scene? He slithered away……but was not the same afterwards. A Scarlet Letter was stamped on his administration.
Obama's leaks are far more serious and far more dangerous.

Unfortunately the Senate WOULD have a trial, but it'd be a show trial where Obama would be proven innocent. It would just make him look good, and it'd make the Republicans look bitter.

It simply doesn't matter what Obama says; what he does shouts too loudly for me, at least, to hear his words. A president "tough on national security" does not weaken the military at a time of rising global violence, does not deliberately undermine important international alliances, and does not install political hacks in important appointive positions with authority over either foreign affairs or military posture.

We've survived the ineptness of Jimmy Carter, the greed of the Clintons, but
the damage Obama has done may take generations to correct. Sadly, those who still consider voting for him may give us 4 more years of destruction of the
way of life so many fought, and yes, died for. I for one, am deeply shamed that our voting population didn`t see him for the pompous, egotistical empty suit that he is. It might even be funny if it weren`t so damaging. Oh, wait…

"It is not yet clear whether this operation will leave Libya worse off and will jeopardize U.S. interests. Note that the Libyan transitional government is stalling on elections, apparently because these might result in a radical, anti-American Islamist regime or a regional conflict that would produce a new civil war. At any rate, it was less a bold action than a mere going along with the crowd, and whether the operation was of any benefit to U.S. interests is still to be seen.'
This has to be one of the most under-reported stories of the past year. There is a strong case to be made that Libya is worse off now than it was under Gaddafi. You have militias running around the country all fighting for power and you also have the very real possibility of a radical, anti-American, Islamist regime taking over. In short, you could be seeing a new Somalia emerging from this mess, only this one will have oil revenues to fund terrorists and is located on the Mediterranean only a few miles off the coast of Italy. This could be a stunning failure for not only Obama, but for NATO too, yet you hear nothing about it on TV or in the mainstream media. And if Libya does fall apart, then the Obama administration and France and Britain should take the full brunt of the blame for getting needlessly involved in this civil war in the first place.
Worse, many of the Libyans now fighting with Libya's militias fought against American troops in Iraq. Needless to say, these people don't have a high opinion of the United States and would like nothing better than to see al Qaeda launch attacks against the west from Libyan soil. Yup, things are looking "better" and "better" in Libya and yet nobody either in Congress or the media is saying anything about it. Shameful.

…..that's my pet subject…..I've been calling it "penetration", "subversion", "infiltration", via Hamas-associated C.A.I.R. propaganda and effective lobbying groups aimed at our Congress….Saudi financed madrassas in Northern Virginia-istan….Dearborn-istan on the order of a Fifth Column…
Does anyone remember Soviet moles, penetration, espionage, subversion starting oh, so quietly in the 1930′s or so?….later at the State Department via Alger Hiss?….. on and on.
Muslim/Islam is using these very same tactics right now as we read this……that's our contemporary Invasion.
Lawfare citing "victimization" via the likes of the A.C.L.U.,…..on and on. "Study" Groups, "Ecumenical" committees and "Chairs" financed by the Saudi's at Georgetown Univ.in our District of Columbia…..
Britain-istan should be seen by us Americans as a Muslim fait accompli,a stark lesson…. and so I try to emphasize this at every opportunity.

Well said, Tom. In fact I'll go a step furter in making BB-brain V look even more ignorant in his attempt to snark: Those of us who argue for a constitutionally limited government often point out that our Constitution SPECIFICALLY designates Defense to be one of the very, very few powers and responsibilities given to the Federal Government!

Frankly, O is probably the weakest president we've had in the last 140 yrs. His domestic policy is to kill off jobs & the economy by taxing us to death, useless gov't bail outs & foolish self-defeating fiscal policies.
As the author noted, his foreign policy has been an unmitigated disaster! Give me Millard Fillmore any day. At least he knew who our enemies were & lived in realville as Rush says rather than in fantasy land.

"(Even Jimmy Carter didn't posture over the comparatively brave decision to launch an armed rescue mission of the U.S. hostages held in Iran.)"
"See how tough I am? I killed Bin Laden. That proves I really am tough. I mean, I gave the order and everything. Navy Seal Team Six – heck, all they did was risk their lives, go in there and pull the trigger – I did everything else. I mean, like Bill Clinton said, the downside for me was tremendous. So I'm tough. I killed Bin Laden."

Rubin, Barack Hussein Obama is a Usurper for crying out loud. Why do you still call him President? How does one call a man who usurped the office of the POTUS deserve the respect of that title. The office is no longer sacred it has now been usurped. When are you going to do your own investigation into this issue? I will be looking forward to you participating in the investigation that has been going on for four years now.

Great analysis. These points aren't mentioned enough, if at all. What was the administration's policy on Iran for its first three years in office? To do nothing and hope to "negotiate" on nukes, ignore the democracy movement. This was the same "strategy" applied toward Assad before he turned butcher on Syria. Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, Turkey–all get passes. Israel, however, gets its leader lambasted by Obama chatting it up with the French president. What nonsense.

The leaks once again divided the intel community beyond repair now. In the matter of Syria, BHO has officially deferred all decision making to Russia and China. No one will admit that Kofi Annan is a weak-kneed weasel who has been tasked with one of the more important decisions on how to handle Syria, when in fact the whole matter of Assad is under the rule of Iran. Ahmadinejad declared war on the United States two years ago with Syria as the proxy and Obama with the help of the Joint Chiefs and Hillary have voted only present. There is now not just one group of rebels there are perhaps as many as 20 and the cherry on the banana split in Syria is the chemical weapons located in numerous sites. Syria IS Iran.

Another good Rubin article, long on symptoms, short on solutions. Mr. Rubin's assessment of threats is rather expansive (Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela, Turkey? These are threats to our national security?) or absurd (China, Russia?) What does Mr. Rubin propose we do concerning these "threats"? Attack them militarily? Apply sanctions? Engage via the State Department or maybe the UN? Oh, stop PR oriented White House leaks! Such lack of specificity is Mr. Rubin's modus operandi, reflecting a vague dissatisfaction with the Administration's bad policies, but offering no solutions.

The fact that the author listed Cuba as a threat to national security, discredits his opinion beyond repair. He is clearly stuck in 60′s. Sorry Ruben, but it is no longer the 60′s. How about the fact that Obama has decreased the number of nuclear warheads that Russia and the US have stockpiled. Rouge nuclear weapons being the greatest threat to our country.

I think you mean "rogue" rather than the make-up "rouge". But your point is clear. Cuba is a threat? Bolivia is a threat? Turkey (out NATO ally) is threat? Mr. Rubin's "threat" assessments leave something to be desired.

The only thing this CSIC (Choom-smoker-in-Chief) or SLIC (Secret-Leaker-in-Chief) seems to be good at is campaign-rhetoric, and even that only before select audiences and for as long as the teleprompters keep working. Gads!
Is he strong on NatSec? Because he had Osama killed? Because he sent a couple hundred "cruisies" into Libya after getting "permission" (LOL) from the UN, via Hillary? Because he "under-bussed" the Poles and Slovakians on missile defense to "reset" (LOL) with the Kremlin-crooks? Because he ignored Iran's "Greens" to set the stage for negotiations (LOL) with the Mullahs, when anyone conscious since '79 could have told him "fat chance for that"? Because he OK'es drone attacks on some 2cnd tier AlQuaeda ops in far-off places? What did he really accomplish? — Not much. If anything, he's managed to increase uncertainties about outcomes, thereby multiplying the dangers.
True, Bolivia is not likely a real threat, nor Cuba. But, "our Nato friend/ally" Turkey? — Wouldn't be too sure of them: We still get along, but barely. Forgotten the sudden denial of transit to our troops in 2003? How about Cyprus? Not much in the news, but maybe because we're not pushing it? If we did, would the "Turkish Islamic State Revivalist" Erbakan still talk or act friendly? Forgotten their staging of blockade-runners 2 years ago, and their reaction to IDF's (utterly legit) stoppage? What was our reaction? Mum, so as not to "offend" our alleged NATO-ally? How about our almost next-door-neighbor Venezuela, and their dalliance with Iran? How about the securing of our southern border? How about the impudence of Mexico's president coming here to lecture our Congress? How about the small affair of the would-be Honduran dictator-in-spe, 3 years ago? How did we officially react?
Ask me, these are all issues of policy, to be clearly and openly stated by our Administration on a world stage, and to be backed by credible actions, credible because consistent with the situation and our stated resolve. Roosevelt would have called it "showing the big stick". I simply call it the "responsibility of power": use it or lose it! Trying to play both sides of an issue with one finger held up to test the wind-direction is not leadership. But leadership, above all, is what the WH-occupancy is all about. Use it, or lose it!
The recent leaks –regardless the who-done-it– tend to confirm that "leadership" was always "voting present" when it counted, and now, a few months to election-time, needs an image-boost. Hope it backfires, 'cause that's all it deserves! "Image", in the sense of Ms. Anna Wintour's "Vogue", is NOT what it's about on the "stage" of real world affairs. Of that you may be sure!
There's another bone to pick with the NewLeft Progs' mind-set:
Not forgotten their and corrupt MSM journalists' slanderous portrayal of George W. Bush during the period 2004-2008, and thereafter, as some under-educated, dim-whitted, out-of-tune-with-the-times near-Hitlerian political criminal and foreign policy idiot. To this I have but one reply:
Compare, if you will, the two pictures recently presented on a number of sites, of a youthful Obama, and of GW as a young man, the one in floppy hat and clothes slumming on some Hawaian beach smoking some kind of (probably illegal) weed, the other in full flight gear about to board a NatGuard F-86.
Does any NewLeft Prog actually have the dimmest idea of what you have to know, and how often you have to prove your ability, to some very unforgiving "graders", before the AF lets you sign for a multi-million-$ combat jet? Rest assured, stupidity and/or mental stagnation better NOT be one of your attributes, not even a smidgen! — Not enough, getting into and graduating from some institution as prestigious as Yale LS was not easy, especially not for GWB's age-cohort well prior to the days of "grade-flation". Rest assured that even if "well-connected" you had better be neither the dumbest nor the laziest of the bunch! — Being a successful Texas Governor for years was equally not easy, I would bet.
Contrast the current WH occupant. At what, exactly, was he ever truly successfull before running for office? His "autobiography" 1, written when he was barely past 30? – What arrogance! And possibly ghost-written and not-so-accurate? – Double the arrogance! But, even if all true, then how come the total info-blackout at huge expense (to somebody other than himslef) of his complete past? What's he hiding? Or, others for him? What would have been sooo embarrassing, if his predecessor was really that stupid and inept?
We may only guess, but my guess is that a truely immense lie was laid upon the American public in 2008, and since, and all possible attempts are being generated at this very hour to repeat it!

He left out the many blunders in eastern Europe, but there are space limitations. Many of obama's errors, mistakes, and duty omissions will not be revealed for years unless some war breaks out and the countries he has betrayed and belittled blow his national security cover. Nobody elected him to vote present as president, it is an executive position, not a legislative soap box.

text: Minnesota's counties are included in a report ranking the health of every county in each of the 50 states. The report shows a wide range of health status among Minnesota counties. This is the fifth year of County Health Rankings, prepared by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The project ranks counties by overall health using a standard formula to measure the health status of the counties' residents and how long they live.. Out of the 87 counties, Winona County is ranked as 18th healthiest in the state. Fillmore County is ranked 12th, Olmsted County is 17th, Houston County 40th, and Wabasha County is 45th healthiest. Counties are ranked in two categories: health outcomes and health factors (also known as health determinants). Health outcomes include the rate of collective number of years of life lost from people dying before age 75, the percentage of people who report being in fair or poor health and the rate of low birth-weight infants. Health factors include health behavior, clinical care, social and economic factors and physical environment. Local health departments in Minnesota already conduct extensive measurements of the health of their communities. The County Health Rankings are an additional tool that highlights the essential role of prevention across Minnesota.

Tuesday, June 24, 2014
EPPING — This past weekend's National Hot Rod Association race was the one time a year that many local fans can see their heroes up close and personal.
Reigning top fuel champion Shawn Langdon caught some of the local flavor when he took in a New Hampshire Fisher Cats game from the balcony of his hotel room in downtown Manchester.
"It's a nice time of year, too," he added. "The kids are out of school and they can be here with my wife. It's a nice way to kick off the summer." |

Richard Buznego, style/fashion writer and male model.
How similar/dissimilar is Tuff Gnarl to your past experiences in publishing?
Jesse Scheckner: Every other outlet I currently contribute to has me nailed down in one particular role, whether it's music, film, politics, mixed martial arts, or the local print news work I do. With Tuff Gnarl, I can generally move in and out of different areas that interest me, which keeps me - and everyone else who works at the site - from getting bored with any one specific subject matter.
What sets Tuff Gnarl apart from those other publications?
Jesse Scheckner: Part of it is the unique mixture of those individually interesting and complex areas of interest: art, film, comics, music, fashion, politics, international sports, and the coverage of events related to those all of those fields.
Although the spectrum of the things that we cover varies in terms of widespread popularity, we without a doubt are true to our slogan, "A Community of Writers Uncovering Pop Culture's Hidden Gems." So even though we occasionally do write-ups on big blockbusters like Spiderman 2, we make a purposeful effort to shed a light on lesser-known and talked about though equally as noteworthy areas of interest such as the student protests in Venezuela back in February, disabled mouth artist Larime Taylor's fantastically dark indie comic A Voice in the Dark, research into how access to the internet can pull people out of poverty, rising MMA World Series of Fighting heavyweight Derrick Mehmen's quest for the title, a $50 blazer company called The Blazer Bros, and mind-bending self-published sci-fi like Gray Kane's insane novel, Psychic Steampunk Parade.
Chuck also does a regular podcast through the site, often co-hosted by Rob Zimmerman, in which he plays a lot of the crazy tunes he gets ahold of. Essentially, people who stop by the site will get something new every single day, and it'll always be interesting, well-written and different from what came out the day before.
Give us an idea of the current contributors staffing the content in the website.
Chuck Livid: We currently have seven staff writers at the moment. Everyone volunteers their talents to the site. As an atheist, I feel weird saying this, but it's the truth, I'm really blessed to have every single member of my staff believe enough in my vision that they take time away from their families, paying jobs, and whatever other life situations they might find themselves in. They not only produce thoughtful and insightful articles, but they're thorough and professional. Any startup would kill for a staff like Tuff Gnarl's. I never take them for granted, and I love every single one of them as if they were my own family.
Rob Zimmerman's had some pieces in which his active-duty service seems like an asset, as one of your first contributors, how did you two come across each other?
Chuck Livid: Zimmerman went to high school with my wife, Helena Garcia, in Boca Raton. I met him at some outing we went to a few years ago. Rob is a real American hero. He served two tours in Iraq in the Army. He's also one of the smartest, well-read, and to-the-point individuals I've ever met. His writing is bar none. He's basically Delray Beach's answer to Jesse Scheckner but with military training.
