As of November 24, 2014 practicing with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.
Nathan Hochman is the chair of Bingham's White Collar Investigations and Enforcement Group. He practices complex civil and criminal litigation, with a focus on white collar criminal defense and tax controversy matters. He represents individuals and organizations involved as targets, subjects, or witnesses in state and federal criminal investigations, internal investigations, and related grand jury and pre-trial proceedings, trials, and appeals. He also represents clients in state and federal tax controversy, tax litigation, arbitrations and complex civil matters.
Over the past five years, Nathan has achieved notable successes representing clients throughout the world in connection with the United States government's ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute United States taxpayers, intermediaries (e.g., bankers, lawyers, accountants), and foreign banks for unreported offshore income and accounts. He has assisted scores of clients with unreported foreign bank accounts in successfully entering and completing the IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative program that commenced in 2009. That program offers taxpayers with such unreported offshore accounts lower civil penalties and the potential for criminal amnesty. He has additionally represented intermediaries who have facilitated alleged offshore tax evasion and have been targeted for criminal prosecution by the United States Department of Justice's Tax Division and United States Attorney Offices. With respect to foreign banks and in connection with the Department of Justice's amnesty program for Swiss Banks announced on Aug. 29, 2013, he has represented Swiss banks, acting as counsel and separately as an "independent examiner" of the Swiss bank's compliance with the requirements of the program.
Notably in 2013, Nathan represented three U.S. taxpayers who had each been criminally investigated and prosecuted by the Department of Justice for offshore felony tax or bank secrecy act offenses. Each case involved hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars of unreported foreign bank accounts. In each instance, he successfully convinced the United States district judges to sentence each client to a term of probation and no imprisonment.
Prior to joining the firm, Nathan was the assistant attorney general for the tax division of the U.S. Department of Justice. As head of the Tax Division, Nathan oversaw the nation's largest tax litigation firm with over 350 lawyers enforcing federal tax laws through criminal, civil and appellate litigation in every federal district in the country.
Prior to joining the Justice Department, Nathan was in private practice for 11 years in a boutique litigation firm, where he concentrated on representing individuals and organizations in tax controversy litigation, federal and state white collar criminal investigations and litigation, and complex civil litigation.
Before joining the ranks of private practitioners, Nathan served as an assistant United States attorney for the criminal division of the Central District of California. In that role, Nathan prosecuted over 180 cases in the public corruption and government fraud section, ranging from tax violations, bank fraud, loan fraud, money laundering, and bribery to government program fraud, customs fraud, environmental crimes, arson, narcotics trafficking, bank robbery, alien smuggling, and perjury. He spearheaded the Los Angeles Disaster Fraud Task Force, was the environmental crimes coordinator, tried over 20 jury trials, argued over 20 appeals before the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and ran over 30 complex grand jury investigations.
Nathan clerked for United States District Judge Stephen V. Wilson in Los Angeles. He is a certified specialist in Criminal Law in California and has previously been appointed as federal receiver in several cases. (Certification by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.)

5 case studies of brands using niche social sites (and why you should too) There is a very difficult, fine line for brands using social media and where you decide to focus your efforts.
You want to avoid opening up a brand account on every single social platform just because you can, but then you also want to focus on the niche sites where you will have to fight less hard to be heard amongst the noise and where you can reach people on a more targeted basis. The trick is, of course, to throroughly research the niche sites you might be interested in and find out if you actually have something to add to the mix.
If your product is very visual for example, then Instagram might well be the place for you, exceeding the opportunities available in a format like a Facebook Page. Les réseaux sociaux deviennent incontournables dans les politiques de recrutement, Actualités. Les médias sociaux en chiffres et en images. Entreprises/réseaux sociaux: les pays émergents "bien plus en avance" que l'Europe (étude) 2011 en réseaux. 4 Megatrends in Social Media and Social Business. Inbound vs outbound marketing: un'infografica. The Trends In Social Advertising Survey - Behind The Numbers.
Released on August 1, 2011, the Trends In Social Advertising Survey by Brian Solis and The Pivot Conference will surely be one that's bandied about and its results shared often.
But I wanted to take a look, a deeper look if you, behind the numbers. Truth be told, I am anything BUT a "numbers person. " What does the future hold for the social media specialist? In the days of yore, when alchemists transformed lead into gold and "digital ninjas" practiced their magic among us, social media strategists could dazzle lesser mortals with their skills on Twitter and Facebook.
Today, every communicator is well versed in social platforms, kids with digital fluency are crowding the workforce, and even busy CEOs have figured out how to engage in a bracing Twitter feud. So is there a future for all these social media strategists, these mavens and gurus and Sherpas and samurai? Or will they be cursed to wander the wastelands as digital ronin? We rounded up opinions on the evolution of their roles through a HARO request and from some of the participants in an upcoming SXSW panel titled, "Your Social Media Job is Dead. Now What? "
The Next Layer Of Social Media. What's next for Social Media?
If I had a dime for every time I've been asked that question... More often than not, I deflect the question. I'm humble enough to know that my optics into what works and where this is all going is not what it could be. If I could see into the future, I would have created the first online auction or sold books online back in the day, instead companies like eBay and Amazon came along. If I knew where things were going, I would not have have looked at YouTube when it first came out and said, "who would want to watch shaky cam videos on a 2x2 screen that has buffering issues! " Social media and mobile apps to account for 50% of online sales by 2015, says Gartner. Companies need to to incorporate social media into their online sales and marketing as a matter of urgency, concludes a Gartner report.
Companies will make half of their online sales from social media and mobile applications by 2015, research company Gartner has predicted. Ecommerce managers in industries such as travel, retail, consumer electronics, and media and entertainment, will make greater use of location-based services to push personalised content to people with mobile devices who have subscribed to the services "Customers want new and easy ways to interact with companies in a new business dynamic, including through social media", said Gene Alvarez, research VP at Gartner. "As more people use smartphones, they will expect an extension of their customer experience to be supported by this kind of device while demanding that social aspects of the web be intertwined with this experience," he said. Trend Currents: Social Media in 2012. The speed of evolution in digital communications and technologies has created a curious conundrum for marketers and business leaders alike.
With such rapidly advancing technologies, even the early adopters are too busy trying to understand what is happening now to be capable of looking into the distant future to see what's coming. Further, they're so focused on the technologies, networks and platforms that they lose sight of the fact that they are merely small contributing factors to much larger trends. Steve Woodruff is speaking on this very topic when our Social Media Masters' Conference stops in New York City this Friday. He calls this: Trend Currents, the large-scale cultural, economic, and technological shifts that drive our ongoing communications revolution.

HoopsHype Dan Gilbert rumors
Tommy Beer: Gilbert, on meeting w/ LeBron last Sunday: "I certainly talked about the things I was embarrassed about, and apologized about that night." Twitter @TommyBeer
"The letter was taken down from our website years ago," Gilbert told Yahoo Sports on Friday. "There was some remnant link from the NBA site that someone discovered a few days ago and when our people were notified, it was immediately killed. "The concept that we had the letter up for four years and just took it down is absurd and flat-out wrong." Yahoo! Sports
Jake Fischer: Dan Gilbert is strolling around the Cox Pavilion floor with his chest buffed all the way out. Twitter @JakeLFischer
"We had five great years together and one terrible night," Gilbert told James, and so started the process of reconciliation on Sunday night in Miami. "I told him how sorry I was, expressed regret for how that night went and how I let all the emotion and passion for situation carry me away. I told him I wish had never done it, that I wish I could take it back." Yahoo! Sports
James became branded by The Decision, and Gilbert became a hostage to his Letter. Only, James would win two titles in four years with the Heat, and winning washes everything away. Winning changes the story. The Cavaliers have lost a lot of games, made mistakes and then Gilbert started to understand something: For all his business genius, all his rebuilding of Detroit and charitable endeavors and everything he had done in his life, the letter had come to define him. "Do a Google search on me, and it's the first thing that comes up," Gilbert told Yahoo Sports. "To a certain segment of society, it's like somebody killed somebody, like somebody killed their kid. I told LeBron, 'That letter didn't hurt anybody more than it hurt me.' Yahoo! Sports
"For the first two months, I kept thousands of letters – not hundreds – thousands written to me. There were 90-year-old ladies and CEOs, and I realized that that letter had transcended the event, went far beyond LeBron. After a few months, I would re-read it and just be full of regret. That wasn't me, that wasn't who I am. I didn't mean most of the things I said in there. The venom it produced, from all sides … I wish … I wish I had never done it. "I'm grateful that we all get another chance together now." Yahoo! Sports
Adrian Wojnarowski: Spoke with Dan Gilbert on meeting with LeBron James, angst over his letter and how they moved past acrimony. Story soon on Yahoo Sports. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: LeBron James, Dan Gilbert, Rich Paul and Maverick Carter met for 4 hours in Miami last week and talked through it all, Gilbert tells Yahoo. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: Agent Rich Paul called Dan Gilbert moments before announcement: "Dan, congratulations. LeBron is coming home." Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: Dan Gilbert tells Yahoo: "Just happy for the people of Cleveland. We are driven at core by one thing: Delivering the city a championship." Twitter @WojYahooNBA
I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I'm realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. I'm going into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn't know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I'm excited to lead some of these talented young guys. I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. And I can't wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of my favorite teammates. Sports Illustrated
To make the move I needed the support of my wife and my mom, who can be very tough. The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, "OK, I don't want to deal with these people ever again." But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I've met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We've talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I've made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge? Sports Illustrated
Chris Broussard: Done deal. LeBron to Cavs, credit to Lee Jenkins story in SI. Source confirns Twitter @Chris_Broussard
Eddie Johnson: My source was right on cue. Redemption for James. @nba #NBAFreeAgency Twitter @Jumpshot8
Chris Haynes: LeBron James' agent, Rich Paul, confirms to @CSNNW that his client is going to the Cavs. Twitter @ChrisBHaynes
Steve Luhm: In a time when "scoops" are measured in minutes, I believe some owe @Chris Sheridan an apology. He had LeBron 3 days ago, right? Twitter @sluhm
Ben Rohrbach: Give both @Chris Sheridan & @SI_LeeJenkins credit. Chris had the scoop three days ago, Lee lands a great story. Twitter @brohrbach
Sam Amico: Cavs believe today's reports of Dan Gilbert's letter is someone attempting to make their situation more difficult, I'm told. Twitter @SamAmicoFSO
One reason, if not the major reason, that LeBron James has taken so long to decide whether to play in Miami or Cleveland next season is the infamous letter Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert penned about James after the superstar left Cleveland in 2010, sources said. In the letter, written in Comic Sans font, Gilbert called James a "coward" and mocked the many nicknames and catchphrases attached to James, such as "King James," "The Chosen One" and "Witness."

Allen Lane a.k.a Grindin "PUN" was born on January 26th 1990 on the West-side of Chicago. Pun grew up in Henry Horner projects 2 blocks away from the legendary United Center and just minutes from the beautiful skyline of our of Downtown Chicago. Being raised near the United Center offered him an up close and personal look at the great luxuries that money could buy (downtown condos, cars, jewelry, etc). Being inspired by the things he saw, he quickly started of thinking of ways to make money. Originally, he wanted to become a professional football player, but Pun quickly fell in love with the hobby of playing with words that many have grown to know as "rapping". Pun started his career writing poems in the 4th grade at the inspiring age of 9. His love of writing poems quickly turned into him writing rap lyrics and by the age of 11 his written lyrics and rebellious attitude joined as one; as he sat out to further explore his creative talents. In 2001 - Pun and his three cousins started a rap group called "S.W.A.T" and as new members joined the group and became intrigued by Puns cool yet sly ways, the group was later renamed "CHI-TOWN SHYSTERS" also known as"C.T.S" in 2006. Now having nine members that looked up to him for motivation as well as support - Pun lead the group and made all of the necessary decisions for the Chi-Town Shysters. As Pun continued with his high school education, he and the group members decided that they needed more funding to finance their careers, which would catapult the group to a new level. Some got jobs while other looked to the streets to make money. With more money coming in, PUN and C.T.S started making an impact on the local underground rap scene. In January 2007 they were featured on "FOX NEWS CHICAGO" for their accomplishments and acquired even more support in attaining their goals. With the exposure from the Fox News interview, more people started recognizing PUN and CHI-TOWN SHYSTERS more locally and musically. Following that exposure attained Pun has made many business endeavors. He has appeared on public access television numerous times, and blazed stages throughout the mid-west, south, & east coast. In addition to that, Pun has been featured on 12 Mix-Tapes since May 2008; along with releasing 3 solo mix-tapes. GRINDIN PUN successfully achieved radio play on Chicago's biggest hip-hop radio station - "107.5 WGCI" with his song entitled "gangsta on" in 2008. Grindin Pun is the Chairman/C.E.O of L.G.M. Entertainment and the Chi-Town Shysters (C.T.S). He is also practicing artist & repertoire development, and artist management. In summer 2011 Pun was introduced to the C.E.O of Cfl Music group and they came together to collaborate on one of pun's mix-tapes. In November 2011 CFL music group/L.G.M Entertainment released Grindin Pun's mix-tape entitled "DAT ORDER" which is being downloaded and played worldwide. With so much success, only at the age of 23, "GRINDIN PUN" has a right to call himself one of the best independent rap artists in the world. He is one of the realest, with more than enough credibility to prove it.

Kegan Fisher's architectural landscapes are an interpretation of the world around the artist, broken down into the design elements of planes, volume, lines and colour. The perspective of the canvas is important, but one must not forget that the viewer's perspective is also being played with, forced to deal with the artist's deconstructions of time and space around her, as she serves up a world that is "an onslaught of visual stimuli".

Hello Larry…and welcome spring
By Craig Muder
It was 31 springs ago, a glorious one for fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
I was 11, and my family took a trip to Florida that March to watch the Bucs begin defense of their 1979 World Championship. It was my first taste of the magic of Spring Training.
There was no game at Bradenton's historic McKechnie Field that day, so we wandered over a few streets to Pirate City. With its dorm-like housing and seemingly innumerable practice fields, it was the perfect place to learn baseball.
Of course, future Hall of Famers like Willie Stargell and Bert Blyleven were a bit past the learning stage and were nowhere to be seen. The prolific Pirates farm system, however, featured future major leaguers like Vance Law and Joel Skinner – both of whom were in camp as non-roster invitees.
But the player I remember most that day was Larry Andersen.
My father and I were standing behind home plate, with just a screen between us and the diamond. Suddenly, I heard the "crack-crack-crack" of cleats on cement. And before I could fully turn around to get a good look, there was Andersen – seemingly a giant at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds – brushing by me while never breaking stride.
I turned back around, getting a glimpse of his number – 52 – and the uncommon spelling of his last name sewn onto his jersey. And then he was gone, off to another day of work on the diamond.
At that moment, I considered myself the biggest Pirates fan on the planet. And the fact that I had no idea who Larry Andersen was left me momentarily dazed. But I decided that he must have been some imposter – a player with no past or future who would never see a big league day in a Pittsburgh uniform.
Of course, I was right: Andersen never played for the Pirates. But I was also wrong – because within a year, Larry Andersen had developed into a excellent big league reliever with the Mariners.
The lesson for me was clear: Don't blink, because greatness can brush by you like a stranger in a crowd.
Andersen went on to appear in 677 MLB games after that March 1980 day (he appeared in 22 as an Indians prospect between 1975 and 1979 for a big league total of 699), but may be best remembered as the player the Red Sox acquired when they sent Jeff Bagwell to the Astros in 1990.
But for me, Larry Andersen always brings back memories of a warm day in Bradenton.
Welcome, Baseball. Bring your cheer. Only two weeks until pitchers and catchers report.
Our long, cold winter is nearly over.

Records falling before leaves
By Trevor Hayes
August is ending, the postseason is around the corner, records are starting to fall and today's stars are joining the legends of yesteryear.
Back in the News: Two weeks after becoming the sixth player to belt 400 homers with a .320 average, Vladimir Guerrero recorded his 1,000th hit for the Angels – the eighth player in franchise history to do so. With 1,215 hits as an Expo, he's the second player to collect 1,000 hits for a single team in both leagues. As a Padre and then a Yankee, Hall of Famer Dave Winfield was the first. Aside from Guerrero, Manny Ramirez is the only active player with 1,000 for two teams (Indians and Red Sox).
Also this week – at 34 years, 194 days old – Guerrero recorded his 1,300th RBI. Since divisional play began in 1969, only eight players have reached the mark at a younger age: Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Juan Gonzalez, Ramirez, Sammy Sosa and Jeff Bagwell along with Hall of Famers Jim Rice and Eddie Murray.
Sox-Yanks: Baseball's premiere rivalry provided an offensive showcase last weekend. Friday's 20-11 slugfest was significant. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the two clubs combined 31 runs, was the most in a single game in the over 100 year history of the rivalry. The previous mark was July 29, 1903, with the Highlanders beating the Americans 15-14 at Huntington Avenue Grounds – almost nine years before Fenway Park opened.
Hideki Matsui paced New York's 23-hit attack with a pair of three-run jacks and seven RBI. It was the most by a Yankee at Fenway since Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig in 1930.
Not to be outdone, the Sox fired back. Kevin Youkilis contributed two homers and six RBI in a 14-1 victory over the Yankees on Saturday. Over the last 70 years, only Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk has hit two home runs and driven in at least six against the Bronx Bombers. Pudge did it on April 6, 1973 in a 15-5 rout at Fenway.
A good start: The Royals Zack Greinke is a long way away from 3,000 strikeouts, but on Tuesday night he recorded a performance that four of the members of the 3,000 strikeout club never did. Greinke sat down 15 Indians to break a single-game club record en route to recording his 700th career strikeout. And while 705 career strikeouts isn't even a quarter of the way to 3,000, the 15 strikeouts for the 25-year-old Greinke represent a single-game feat Hall of Famers Don Sutton, Phil Niekro and Ferguson Jenkins and recent retiree Greg Maddux – all members of the 3,000 strikeout club – never accomplished.
Arms race: John Smoltz will make his second start as a Cardinal tonight. When he debuted last Sunday, he became the ninth former Cy Young Award winner to play under Tony La Russa. Between the White Sox, Athletics and Cardinals, La Russa has had two Cy Young winners make it to the Hall of Fame: Dennis Eckersley and Tom Seaver. Joe Torre is the only other manager with nine or more Cy Young winners on his staffs.

There is renewed interest in implementing congestion pricing in metropolitan areas throughout the US. This paper reviews changes in the transportation policy environment that have led to this renewed interest and identifies the major interest groups that support congestion pricing. A case study is used to demonstrate that significant barriers to congestion pricing implementation continue to exist. The paper concludes with some suggestions for developing politically acceptable pricing alternatives.

The GOP Committed Suicide At RNC And Showed What We Knew All Along.
Submitted by PaxLibertas on Sat, 09/01/2012 - 07:32All along there have been those of us that warned from the beginning about the hostile GOP against the lone Ron Paul..
How many times were people called names, chided, scolded, rebuked...when they proposed that 'infiltrating' the GOP from within was a really bad idea?
What further evidence did we need from a a whole campaign season of constant lies, smears, cheats against Ron Paul. From the media and from the GOP ITSELF.He was always an outsider. Let in the door to rub some elbows at the party and maybe have a glass of champagne, but not 'one of the crowd'.
The mistake that Ron and campaign made was thinking that the GOP would play fair. They haven't, they don't, they won't, they'll stop at nothing to having it a contest between status quo LEFT or status quo RIGHT. Delegates now don't even matter as we have witnessed at the RNC, the GOP has gone into full authoritarian mode and the best efforts of good people have been flushed down the toilet by very powerful connected people.
So what now?
It seems now the only option is Ron Paul write in.. or a Gary Johnson vote. Of which I am unsure what the right choice is.
- Login to post comments
Yes Pax - I fully agree with you.
They sure as hell committed suicide with me.
I'm DONE with the republican party which means I will no longer VOTE
for any republican NOR will I give them another PENNY.
I will pull my name out of my PCO candidacy (of which I won the last 2 terms).
I'm ending all further affiliations with the republican party.
If I vote at all anymore it will be Libertarian. Unless I write-in Dr. Paul one more time in November.
It was Ron Paul who got me involved in republican party politics 5 years ago, and it is their treatment of him which will get me OUT of it now.
They're a bunch of rotted, corrupt liars of which I want no part.
They don't even follow their OWN PARTY'S RULES.
They are NOT about limited government amd personal liberty.
They are about big-government, corporate/foreign nation/foreign central bank bailouts.
They support unlimited foreign interventionism, wars and foreign occupations
They support anti-American international organizations like the U.N., World Bank, IMF, U.S.A.I.D., WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA etc.
And most importantly they do NOT follow the Constitution, nor do they force their elected officials to uphold their oaths to defend it.
Nothing more need be said.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."

When they say 'Follow the Money',
Just look at the fact that both Romney & Obama are of course supported by a lot of the same big banks.
I heard someone say that it seems like Romney is the Republican version of Jon Kerry 2004. He's set up as the guy to fail, and boy did he ever do a great job of that, as he and his cronies have successfully divided the Republican Party.
I heard Glenn Beck months ago say along the lines, that a paper bag should be able to beat Obama. How the Establishment picks a guy that would then be 50/50 in polls is beyond me. Romney has ZERO chance of picking up the swing states now either.

I am still up for working in
I am still up for working in the GOP. In my county people are pretty honest and fair. I was almost going to vote for Romney, even, but when Newt said what he said, I knew I never could. If Ron does not run 3rd, I will vote for Johnson just so another party gets 95 million dollars that is shaved off what the other two get. Libertarians (I am not one) will get that if they get 5% of the vote, so a purpose would be there. I could care less about whether Romney beats Obama. I can't stand either of them. They are both for socialized medicine, the NDAA and tarp. The first things Romney said he would cut is subsidies for PBS, and Center for Humanities, and all the other things that are for the PEOPLE, nothing foreign, Screw him.

Politics won't work
because the worst will always rise to the top. Voting will legitimize their criminal tyranny. Better to opt out. Find ways to live avoiding the state as much as possible. They are killing the hosts upon which they feed in their thirst to control all. The lie that a monopoly on aggression by some people to use against against others can be controlled and used for "good" to "govern" and "protect" the powerless, or that "we" can elect "good" leaders is more obvious every day. Opting out and educating others to the lies and illogic is the only course left and makes the most sense.

Infilitrating the GOP Isn't A Bad Idea
It's a good idea, but not enough. Due to recent changes in the rules, the process will just take longer. Hence, I believe in using external pressure as well, i.e. 3rd parties.
For 2012, the better course of action is probably for Ron to run on a 3rd party ticket if possible in an attempt to deny Romney the election. Yes, the clown Obama will be reelected in the process for just 4 more years if he's prevented from anointing himself king by our moronic congress. In the process of losing the 2012 election, Romney will be a footnote in history and the RNC significantly weakened along with our significantly INCREASED chance of controlling the GOP and reverting the recent changes to the rules. I also think that formation of a new political party or combination of several existing 3rd parties with a streamlined platform would also accelerate the process of change within the two dominant political parties. With each passing day, I'm more convinced than ever that an outright ban on political parties will eventually be necessary.

The only option
seems to be to encourage Ron Paul to run 3rd party.
What a way to show the GOP/RNC they made a terrible mistake.

Taking the GOP was Ron Paul's idea
There are 36 registered third parties, which is impossible to get on all 50 state ballots, just look at the LP. As for going Indy.. Nader sewed that up tight, as our campaigns worked to achieve ballot access and open debates, wound up in dozens of law suits, in dozens of states, and we needed SEVEN third parties to get all 50 states, that gave tptb a way to close all the loop holes so they would not have to worry about another Ross Perot again.
Ron Paul's PLAN was to take the GOP. It is THE best plan there is, and anyone who is not with Ron Paul, who is not a dictator, and tells us, do you're own thing.. good luck whatever that may be... but, his plan is the best plan, and why Palin's Earthquakers are storming the GOP and taking those seats, hoping we don't wake up anytime soon, but continue to not be able to get past our doubt, hatred, repulsion, anger, fear and loathing to actually become a force.
The RNC prooved how weak and desperate the GOP is... that's why they had to steal, lie and cheat, as ther was no other way for them to win.. what we should be doing is storming the GOP prepared to fight.. but too many among us are not ready, able, or willing to do that.. it's not Ron Paul's fault or the GOPs.. it's ours.. as we didn't have the numbers... too many refused to do what Ron Paul asked us all to do in hopes he would fail and do it their way.. Their way is not based on expoerience but taste.
- Login to post comments
I fully agree
We should take the GOP back to its roots. That is the plan and everybody should get on board.
At the same time I hope Ron Paul decides to join up with Gary Johnson (if the offer still stands). It will show even more people how powerful our movement is and help more people wake up. This is what it is all about. To get the numbers we need, people need to be more aware of the reality of what is going on.
It is all about educating the people and Ron Paul on the libertarian ticket would do more than anything else that can be done from now to November.
The result will be more recruits who will get involved in their local GOP to take it back to what it used to be about.

That offer never came from GJ
and in fact it was that offer being made by others running for the LP nomination which caused the establishment to send their puppet on his mission to get the LP nomination to block it from happening.
- Login to post comments
That sure is a possibility
My point is that it is impossible to know unless we have direct access to GJ and the leaders of the Libertarian Party.
I see my job as encouraging Ron Paul to pursue this opportunity if there indeed is an opportunity. I don't know and I will never know for sure.
What I do know is that I will support Ron Paul 200% if it was to happen and it seems to me that a large percentage of the Ron Paul supporters would do the same and this is the message I would like to get across to Ron Paul.
Ron Paul will then do what he thinks is best withing the realms of the possible. And I support his decision whatever it may be, because I will never have all the facts.

Because I was a Libertarian for 17 years
What used to really piss me off what how the Republicans would suddenly pop up during nomination time and take over OUR Party.
We had some good fights about it because what was the point of having our own party when all we get is a Republican?
I would love to see who Ron paul would pick.. I think it would be Chuck Baldwin.

With ALL due respect, many Libertarians have a dream of a genuine Libertarian that has had NOTHING to do with the GOP. I don't blame them, I was once one of them.

Your right Granger
It is the best plan there is BUT it is also good to weaken the GOP so that it makes our job easier to take over the party. Any way you slice it a Romney win hurts and will disenfranchise this movement and THAT is what makes a RP third party run a good idea. Pick up seats in Congress , infiltrate the party at the base level and vote against Romney!...and if Paul runs third party, we get behind him and who knows, we might get Paul in office to keep it all in check...

Demographics will naturally make the GOP weaker.
Did anyone notice how geriatric the crowds looked on TV coverage of the GOP convention? The people in the GOP are aging. Eventually they will die off. If not another person gets involved with the GOP from now on, in 20 years the organization will literally die, like the Shakers. No new blood = death.

tptb forced Romney on all of us
The solution is to storm the GOP, not run away. Tptb want to end the GOP, and the Republic, and feed us to Obama to take us into a NWO corporate controlled oliarchy.
It's a shame that so many are doing exactly what tptb want them to do.. Run away.
As for third party.. I've been there too long, I know what we are up against and I for one am not wiilling to challange the patriot act from the street.
I wish all who want to take that challenge, thinking the Democrats will not team up with the neocons to personally hurt you, and will do nothing, the best of luck.
Been there done that.. Ron Paul has the best plan and why I'm so adament. I don't want to see people hurt like we were hurt, and we didn't have the Patriot Act to deal with. You will.

Storm how?
Did you miss the rule changes? There is no more pressure from grassroots only from the top. Yes Ron Paul had a plan, for taking over a completely differently structured party which as of last week no longer exists. Might be possible to retake the LP party from the Koch brothers but not in time.
- Login to post comments
I did not miss the RNC rules change. Please don't confuse the RNC with the GOP, or their committees. Each central committee has it's own by-laws that are registered with where they preside, county and state, and then there's the national...
Grassroot can help, If they choose.
By storm, grassroots, especially those who are RepubliCAN, would go to the next county central committee meeting, have a "sit-in", ask to be put on the agenda to discuss the RNC the next month. ask questions, like to see the by-laws, the Resolution Committee report, Inniatives committee report, and Draft Platform. Ask for copies. Show up to the next meeting and tell them what you saw and how you feel about what you saw at the RNC, especially concerning YOUR state.
The LP is structured to keep good people OUT of the POWER structure.
You will never hear about the LP on National TV like you do the GOP, so why waste our time?
- Login to post comments
I totally agree Granger
i think where we get sideways with one another is Romney. Most people i see in here talking third party are doing so to have somebody to vote for besides Romney. The serious folks know the best plan is to keep taking over the party. That doesn't mean we have to vote for Romney though. I will not under any condition vote for him so that leaves me with staying at home or voting 3rd party to split his vote and watch the plastic man melt away....nothing i would like more than to see that man lose his ass in November after what all he did to us....It would also be nice to have a voice in the debates, even if that voice is GJ. He isn't Ron paul but he sure isn't Romney either...everybody knows GJ wont win but he can sure keep the Ramrod out of office and thats good enough for me.....

I don't disagree
It's just for me, it's NOT about Romney.. it's about all those Ron Paul Republicans on committee seats who deserve a chance at controlling Romney the way Hillary's seats control Obama. Obama had no one on the committees.. and she's made him into a massive liar, which is hard to do to a flip flopper like Romney.
- Login to post comments
LOL committee seats control nothing
Prior to the convention republican committee seats did control vetting of candidates at their local level. Thinking that committee seats control the presidents is bordering on delusion. Especially in the case of the Dems who have always been run top down. Dr Paul's plan was to take over a party that could be taken by the grassroots. Newsflash last week that party ceased to exist. What are our options now? The LP? Taken over by the Koch brothers and running a cfr assigned nominee. Constitution party? Maybe an option if we were the Santorum revolution. Our only option now is try to fight back through nullification and anti -Agenda 21 efforts.
- Login to post comments
I beg your pardon
YES they do. We didn't have the people in the upper levels. We will. We failed to take over the party. Nearly 800 people in my county voted for Ron paul in the primary, but I was the only one for over a year who bothered to show up to the central committee meetings.
I don;'t agree with you about the structure of the party.
Tell me, what is your experience in the GOP?
My committee now has 2 RP GOP, 2 Tea Party, 4 Palin grassroots are trying to be seated, that out numbers the Neocons and the UN Agenda 21 is on our agenda to be eliminated FROM MY COUNTY.
How is your committee doing on this?
- Login to post comments
careful what you wish for Granger
you might be to big for your britches just yet. All indicators are that if Romney wins he will make it a mission to snuff out all you Paul folks at all levels which is what i have been trying to tell you for a while now. Your not that strong yet as was illustrated at the convention. Any other candidate wont have that power...Romney is dangerous and enemy #1 to this movement...he has already proven it...

SDCC Wishlist | Cliff Chiang creates new Star Wars propaganda posters
Based on the popularity of the propaganda posters he created for a line of Topps Star Wars cards, Greendale artist Cliff Chiang was invited to create some new posters for Acme Archives, which will debut in San Diego next week.
"We have an Art Deco-inspired Imperial recruiting poster, a Chairman Mao-style Rebel poster, and a 60's spy film poster featuring the galaxy's slickest bounty hunter (and a few others)," he said on his blog.
The posters will be available at the Acme Archives booth or via their website next week.

PR is promoting two lines of business: volatiles, and Platinum Group Metals. The media has concentrated on the PGM side, because it's a more interesting story than boring old water and gases. But PR appears to have no staff with mining or subsea robotic oil and gas experience, so perhaps PGMs are not actually PR's focus.
PGM asteroid mining lies way beyond current technological capabilities. Mining is a dirty business, and to produce PGMs in space demands the invention and shakedown of a completely novel suite of messy, high temperature (Platinum's melting point = 1800C) industrial processes, that don't need air, water or gravity. So an asteriodal PGM business is predicated on an extensive and capable off-world industrial infrastructure, for which no heritage exists and which is decades away from the delicate aerospace expeditionary model we now use.
The extraction of water and volatiles is a different and more straightforward matter. Imagine putting a relatively small asteroid in a black, impermeable bag, and mildly heating it (to say 100C) by training a few simple flat Mylar mirrors on it to drive out the volatiles.. There's no need to tamper with its orbit. Example: 50 meter sphere, 1% volatiles (mostly water), 80% recovery. Yield = 20,000 tones of water and gases.
Assume that future Space-X vehicles reduce the cost-per-Kg-to-LEO to USD1000/kg. So 20,000 tonnes of water in LEO is worth $20Bn. But there is another - and possibly more significant - effect than mere cost reduction. Fuel is now luxuriously abundant. It would require an extravagant 150 Saturn-V launches to deliver 20,000 tones to LEO. Now that the Earth-to-orbit fuel supply bottleneck is removed, a virtuous spiral of space development is initiated. Abundant and cheap fuel allows the introduction of cheaper, cruder/simpler, safer, robust, durable/reusable, refuelable workhorse spacecraft.
So with plentiful fuel and a "fleet" of near-space non-expendable spacecraft, a Lunar base could be more readily set up. The Moon is a good place for metallurgical operations (to manufacture bulk engineering materials: aluminium, titanium, silicon, steel and glass, but not PGMs), as it has gravity to keep everything in place and the right side up, and plenty of "floorspace" to lay out 2-dimensional factories and spoil heaps, the way it's always been done. Early products would be cylinders – the simplest of shapes – for habitats and tankage.
All that now needs be sent up from Earth is people, Nitrogen (scarce on Asteroids and the Moon), food, and complex parts, electronics, etc.
Next steps:
a) Agriculture (mostly vegetarian) – on the Moon and/or in simple glazed spinning orbital cylinders. Saves hundreds of Kgs of upmass per person per year.
b) Tooling up for asteroidal PGM extraction
c) Mars – probably the easiest of these three. The main cost at the moment is in hauling up all the fuel from Earth – fuel is about 80% of the LEO departure mass for most Mars mission studies. So cheap fuel allows the dispatch of well-provisioned missions, with ample tonnes of landable payload for Elon Musk's retirement home.
And there you have it – the step-wise bootstrapping of a Solar civilization, but with PGM extraction as a later step, not an early one.
A piece of advice: if one of the miners turns up with a face-grabbing alien that can't be removed, evacuate the operation and for goodness sake don't bring him back to earth for further study.
There is also a larger-than-zero chance that by looking for asteroids more closely, they'll find one that's threatening to hit us which we might otherwise have missed.

Some of the investors and potential investors in this project may be playing a longer game than the article envisages.
These young technophile billionaires are of a generation raised on science fiction and the idea that for humanity to survive in the very long term we need to get off the earth and perhaps eventually beyond the solar system.
Hauling the required mass up the gravity well is not a feasible solution. Any significant permanent population in space will need to be self sustaining, and mining the asteroids is a first step on that path.
The distances and time-scales involved mean that much of the industrial effort involved would need to be automated. Other nascent technologies like 3D printing, and self repairing machines are glimmerings of how this might eventually be possible.
I wish I could live long enough to see how this plays out...
The idea of mining asteroids is not entirely dumb. But the idea of bringing the proceeds down to EARTH seems silly to me. The most valuable thing about those materials is that they are at the top of Earth's gravity well. Each tonne of iron in orbit represents twenty to fifty tonnes of rockets and fuel. Mining asteroids for things *to be processed and used in orbit* is the key.
Cheaper, sure, but that´s boring. It´s not only about the money, but about the adventure :)
The article in The Economist failed to mention the other expected product of asteroid mining, as explained in Seattle-area accounts of the press conference: fuel for spacecraft. These news articles emphasized fuel production to a far greater extent than the prospects of recovering platinum or other metals.
Arguably, platinum and its relatives may be sexier, but as the article and several commenters have pointed out it will be challenging to find, refine, deliver, and put such metals to use in a cost-effective manner.
On the other hand, and as the Seattle-area media accounts made clear, water is a relatively common component of asteroids. Broken into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen it makes splendid fuel for spacecraft, whether for propulsion or for use in fuel cells to produce electricity. Much of the tremendous expense and difficulty of present-day spacecraft launches is the vast quantities of fuel that must be consumed to boost the fuel the spacecraft will need for its mission to orbit or beyond. Fuel that is already in orbit, or is located outside Earth's gravity well, has tremendous value simply due to its location. Further, the process for "refining" it is not technologically challenging. Access to fuel that is already in space would be very advantageous to any further space navigation or work. It is clear that this will be a challenging project and some of the necessary technology remains to be developed but the pathways are well-understood and the potential benefits are clear.
I'm a bit surprised that this point seems to have escaped the attention of The Economist. This is not a trivial omission. As the article's subtitle implies, mining metals from asteroids might be considered a "bonkers idea." The other idea, which the project's proponents seemed to emphasize rather more during their press conference, is not bonkers at all. But then it does not lend itself so easily to cutesy-poo subtitles, snippy remarks, and references to science fiction and well-heeled celebrity investors. Too bad - I expect better from The Economist.
I, for one, am glad and relieved this is not a taxpayer-supported NASA initiative. Let private dollars and initiatives bring private profits or losses. If NASA got involved, it would just drain taxpayer monies.
First an economic point. Historically, new risky ventures were supported by those rich enough to handle and enjoy the risk. For most of the last century such wealth has been the preserve of corporations who are boring. We should celebrate the fact that we are again concentrating wealth in hands that will take mad risks. Out of that is human progress made!
Second, a scientific point. There is a huge question over whether any asteroid will have decent ores. On earth, rare metals have concentrated in ores through geological processes acting on asteroid derived source material that hit the Earth after it had segregated into core and mantle. Those processes are not likely to have happened on asteroids or their protoplanet precursors. Just as an illustration, if someone broke open the Earth and made access to the core easy, we would find megatonnes of platinum etc,but all dissolved at ppm concentrations in iron and nickel and utterly useless as an ore (seawater would be better).
But I wish these guys well. Theory can always be wrong.
LIDAR sensing of asteroids could narrow which are worthy of exploitation. Once a high value object is detected, it could be mined and years later, after nearing earth orbit again, the concentrates could be shuttled to the earth's surface or shot in a gas plasma stream to an orbiting collection point.
Let me inverse the question: what gives you the right to question THEIR right to go mine an asteroid?
Clearly there are no laws against it, so they can just go ahead and do it. Very probably in the future, space laws will evolve to cover asteroid mining, but right now, finders keepers.
Though I see little opportunity for a solution to the problem, we are observing unfortunate results of capitalism run amuck when a short list of people has acquired so much money that they are listened to, in a field they have no competence, no matter how silly the things they propose.
Excitement created by these asteroid chasers will fade away, as it seems has much of the excitement over electric cars. This same group gave considerable distorted impetus to the otherwise worthwhile goal of developing a 100 mpg car which was the Automotive Xprize goal. It turned out that the rules were stacked to enable plug-in vehicles to be rated at well over 100 'MPGE' without significant effort.
The Google 'technologists', lacking any basis in energy physics or power engineering, were bamboozled by the notion that a Prius could be modified by cobbling a bunch of extra batteries into the trunk and fitting a plug. They launched a large project to charge such cobbled up Prius cars for their own use. This seems to have been given impetus by a campaign by an organization called Calcars, which were running around Silicon valley painted with the claim, '100 MPG+', which was of considerable embarrassment to some who perceived this to be gibberish falling somewhere between idiocy and fraud. The suggestion that this was somehow a product of 'Silicon Valley' innovation shows how truly dismal our future is that expects so much from such innovation.
Even our correspondent in the last issue realized that the power plant that makes electricity has to be considered in the analysis of electric car performance. However, he did not go far enough to realize that the actual mpg rating system for electric vehicles is similarly a stacked deck put out by our EPA.
More than half of all platinum is used in catalytic converters to reduce pollution from petrol cars. Will this demand still be around in 20 years, once we are much more likely to be driving electric cars?
Another 20% of platinum is used in jewelery. With a glut of platinum, might price fall, and platinum perhaps become just another metal with relatively low value for jewelery (like silver)?
And if you restrict supply of platinum to maintain prices, could that mean that your sales volumes are by definition quite limited?
And if the argument is that this is all about fuel for space travel, then space travel to where? It would take us thousands of years to get anywhere out side the solar system. And if the fuel is for moon or mars mining, what are we mining there and will we still need it 50 years from now?
No, but I read their web page and have enough acronyms after my name to understand the physics, technology, and economics involved. There's no question that these investors are attracted by the geek appeal of asteroid mining (as am I). There are certainly challenges to overcome, some of them unknown, and there are safer places to park one's billions, but I detect a sort of modern noblesse oblige here in risking part of their fortunes to expand mankind's horizons. Colombus never found much gold on his expeditions, but we celebrate him, together with Ferdinand and Isabella, for their risky venture. Someday we may celebrate the first asteroid miners and the abundance they brought to the earth. There is a decent chance that these billionaires will have a more profound and beneficial impact on humanity than Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and their tens of billions spent on vaccines and schools. I can only wish them well while cheerleading from the sidelines.
I don't believe anyone else is in line to use the asteroids. And if there were, there's plenty to share. Whose treasure is being plundered? How is supplying humanity with an abundence of something previously scarce greedy? Engaging in a voluntary commercial venture which produces profit does not in and of itself imply greed. Your mind may be creative, creativemind, but it could use a little exposure to some of the basics of moral philosophy.
This wonderful mission reminds me of the Time Traveler from HG Well's Time Machine:
"'Upon that machine,' said the Time Traveller, holding the lamp aloft, 'I intend to explore time. Is that plain? I was never more serious in my life.'"
Humanity needs this attitude! But who can afford such playfulness? Rich asteroid hunting eccentrics of course! Liberated from the 9to5 cycle, they are free to play all day and all night. These guys have the time and spirit for interesting dinner conversations and expensive experiments. Is this not a wonderful age? In the past such men would have few options, and might have been chasing some poor fox across the countryside. Now they dream of ships that soar through space seeking treasure on the remains of ancient planets! This adventure is good for humanity.

Do you have a gaggle of billioniare friends willing to become space pirates? I'm guessing that is what is stopping you. Sounds like an interesting movie though.
Wish I could be sure to be alive when this begins to pay dividends!

That´s because it´s NASA who does it: a huge, inefficient government agency. Let private enterprise do the bulb changing, and they will find a way to do it for a buck a piece.

District Man Pleads Guilty to Shooting an Acquaintance In Night-time Confrontation in Northwest Washington
- Defendant Fired Four Shots Into the Victim -
WASHINGTON - Marcus A. Owens, 41, of Washington, D.C., has pled guilty to charges in connection with a shooting that occurred in February 2012 in Northwest Washington, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. announced.
Owens pled guilty on March 30, 2012, in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, to the charge of aggravated assault while armed with a firearm, a felony. He is to be sentenced on June 15, 2012 by the Honorable Lynn Leibovitz and faces up to 30 years in prison.
According to the government's evidence, on February 1, 2012, at approximately 9:38 p.m., the victim, 23, and Owens were near the 800 block of Butternut Street, N.W., when Owens produced a silver and black 9mm firearm and pointed it at the victim. Owens fired 2 shots into the victim's stomach, another shot toward the victim's head, grazing it, and finally a fourth shot into the victim's foot. Witnesses observed Owens walking away from the crime scene carrying a firearm. Concerned citizens called 9-1-1 and an ambulance transported the victim to the hospital for emergency surgery.
Metropolitan Police Officers who responded to the area observed Owens, who matched the description of the suspect from the shooting, enter a taxi cab on nearby Georgia Avenue, N.W. together with a female companion. Police conducted a traffic stop on the taxi and observed a firearm in the backseat floor of the taxi – under Owens' foot. Shell casings that were recovered by police from the crime scene matched the caliber of the firearm recovered from underneath Owens' foot. The victim later positively identified Owens as the person who shot him. The victim had met Owens through mutual acquaintances.
In announcing the plea, U.S. Attorney Machen commended the work of Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Detective Matthew Dailey, the lead detective of this investigation, as well as Detectives Robert Schmidt, Collis Timlick and Michael Cashman; Officers Anthony Attardo, Jean Gautreaux, Kimberly Kniffen, James Kearney, Alfonso Matos, Sean McCloskey, and Travis Westbrook and Crime Scene Search Officers Darenn Joseph BeMiller and Israel Ruiz. U.S. Attorney Machen praised the efforts of Victim Witness Advocate Jennifer Clark and Paralegal Assistant Debra McPherson. Finally, he expressed appreciation to Assistant U.S. Attorney Terry Eaton from the Fourth District Unit of the Superior Court Felony Major Crimes Section, who prosecuted this case.
