(Note to DUers: This is the first half of a paper on three of the grounds for impeaching VP Cheney. I will post the second half soon. Thanks, H2O Man)
Impeach Dick Cheney: Part 1
{A} Introduction
"The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury �."
--Article III, Section 2; US Constitution
In "The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House, and the Education of Paul O�Neill," author Ron Suskind tells of the Bush2 administration�s first National Security Council�s first meeting. On January 30, 2001, President Bush spoke about his plans to change the foreign policy of the United States in regard to the Middle East. (pages 70-72) "Getting Hussein was now the administration�s focus, that much was clear," Suskind quotes O�Neill as saying .(page 75)
The US war of occupation in Iraq has been based on the actions of numerous people within the Bush2 administration. This paper will focus on the role of one official in particular: Vice President Dick Cheney. The long political career of Dick Cheney is well known: he served in Washington as part of the Nixon and Ford administrations, and was closely connected to the Reagan and Bush1 administrations. It is interesting to note that Cheney had been opposed to occupying Iraq during the first Gulf War:
" �I was not an enthusiast about getting US forces and going into Iraq,� Cheney later said. �We were there in the southern part of Iraq to the extent we needed to be there to defeat his forces and get him out of Kuwait, but the idea of going into Baghdad, for example, or trying to topple the regime wasn�t anything I was enthusiastic about. I felt there was a real danger here that you would get bogged down in a long drawn-out conflict, that this was a dangerous, difficult part of the world.� Sounding like a determined foreign policy pragmatist, Cheney said that Americans needed to accept that �Saddam is just one more irratant, but there�s a long list of irratants in that part of the world.� To actually invade Iraq, he said, �I don�t think would have been worth it�." (Fiasco; Thomas Ricks; pages 6-7.)
This paper will examine what changed Dick Cheney�s mind about invading Iraq between the first Gulf War and the first Bush2 NSC meeting, and then focuses on the role that VP Cheney played in selling the invasion and occupation of Iraq to congress and the American people. This will be done in a manner that explains three of the charges that VP Cheney should be impeached by congress.
In order to understand and fully appreciate the process of impeachment, people should read the 1974 House Judiciary Committee�s report on the Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment. On November 15, 1973, as a result of several resolutions calling for the impeachment of President Nixon had been introduced in the House of Representatives, the Speaker referred them to the Judiciary Committee for consideration, investigation, and a report.
The legal staff�s report takes a close look at the history and legal issues involved in impeachment. It is important to understand that the process of impeachment, in the House and then Senate, is a civil trial. The phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" is an archaic phrase that implies abuses of power. These abuses can be violations of criminal law. But it can also include abuses of power that are not violations of the criminal laws, much as the Joseph and Valerie Wilson civil suit attempted to hold Cheney et al responsible for abuses of power. In dismissing their case, Federal Judge Bates voiced his opinion that their suit raised important Constitutional questions, but that his court lacked jurisdiction.
The Congress of the United States has the needed jurisdiction to try VP Dick Cheney. He should face the consequences for abuses of power that include violations of 18 USC, Section 1001 and Section 371, which as noted in Rep. Maurice Hinchey�s September 15, 2005 letter to Patrick Fitzgerald, involve the false and fraudulent misrepresentation to the congress and the public the "immediate threat" that Iraq posed to the United States. More, as in Article 2 of the articles of impeachment to be brought against Richard Nixon, Vice President Cheney engaged in a campaign against Joseph Wilson on political grounds, in which he is guilty of gross abuses of the power of his office.
{B} Cheney�s Transition
"While I was meeting with Saddam, Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney was in Saudi Arabia showing the rulers of the kingdom satellite photos of the Iraqi troop deployment throughout Kuwait, close to its southern border with Saudi Arabia and not far from the fabulously lucrative eastern Saudi oil fields." � The Politics of Truth; Joseph Wilson; page 126.
In 1992, two Cheney aides, Paul Wolfowitz and I. Lewis Libby, prepared a document titled "Defense Planning Guidance," that called for an expanded US military presence around the world in the next century. It called for a "permanent US military presence on six continents to deter any �potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role�." Though the plan was shelved then, it would be resurrected a decade later in an official Bush document, The National Security Strategy of the United States." (Where the Right Went Wrong; Patrick Buchanan; pages 42-44)
In the years following his role in the Bush1 administration, Dick Cheney would, among other things, serve as a "senior fellow" in the conservative American Enterprise Institute. (Hubris; David Corn & Michael Isikoff; page 51) He would also be aomong the signers of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) founding statement, along with Wolfowitz and Libby. (ibid; page 78)
PNAC would send a letter to President Clinton, urging him to attack Iraq to insure that Saddam did not acquire WMD, and to protect "the safety of American troops in the region, of our friends and allies like Israel and the moderate Arab states, and a significant portion of the world�s supply of oil �."
Just as Paul O�Neill notes in The Price of Loyalty, the authors of Hubris make clear that the Bush administration is focused on "when," rather than "if," it will attack Iraq and remove Saddam from power. (page 11) Suskind notes that in mid-August of 2002, VP Cheney spoke to Iraqi dissidents in exile, and assured them that the United States was going to remove Saddam.
Although it is well-documented that the forces in the administration, led by Cheney, were advocating an attack on Iraq from well before September 11, 2001, that day�s events would be hijacked in the effort to convince the congress and public that Saddam posed a threat to our national security.
{C} The Office of the Vice President
"They call themselves, self-mockingly, the Cabal � a small cluster of policy advisors and analysts �.who began their work in the days after September 11, 2001, (producing) a skein of intelligence reviews that have helped to shape public opinion and American policy towards Iraq. They relied on data gathered by other intelligence agencies and also on information provided by Ahmed Chalabi�s Iraqi National Congress. By the fall of 2002, the operation rivaled both the CIA and the Pentagon�s own Defense Intelligence Agency, the DIA, as President Bush�s main source of intelligence regarding Iraq�s possible stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction and connection with Al Qaeda."
--Chain of Command; Seymour Hersh; pages 207-208.
In his book Losing America, Senator Robert Byrd tells of how in the hours after the 9/11 attacks, VP Cheney instituted the "continuity of government" plans, which had been prepared during the Cold War, in case of a nuclear attack on the US. The "shadow government" combined executive branch officials and business leaders, and not only did not include either other branch of the federal government, but was placed beyond any congressional review.
In the summer of 2002, the OVP helped to institute two other new groups. The first was the White House Iraq Group, which consisted of officials who would coordinate the information provided to the public to sell the war in Iraq. Scooter Libby was among its members. The second group was the Office of Special Plans, an intelligence group that was run out of the Pentagon, but with cells in the State Department and other areas of the federal government. (A Pretext for War; James Bamford; pages 318-319) The OSP was also set-up to serve as VP Cheney�s "parallel national security office" and had no congressional oversight. (Wilson; pages 432-434)
VP Cheney was recognized as being in charge of the administration�s pre-war intelligence. (Plan of Attack; Bob Woodward; page 29) Cheney put Libby in charge of his " �shadow� National Security Council." (Corn & Isikoff; page 5) In Fiasco, Thomas Ricks identifies Cheney, Libby, and Wolfowitz as being among the administration hawks who were intent upon attacking Iraq. (page 51) They engaged in activities that were geared only to support their pre-determined decision to identify information that justified attacking Iraq. In Chain of Command, Hersch describes the way that "intelligence" was stove-piped both from the OSP to the OVP, and thus to the Oval Office. (pages 207, 227-228)
Bob Woodward describes how David Kay, "one of the world�s foremost experts on nuclear weapons inspections," worked with US intelligence and the United Nations to attempt to evaluate possible Iraqi WMD programs. (State of Denial; page 213) Both Cheney and Libby would attempt to influence Kay�s work. He told Woodward that he was "astounded" by the vice president�s attempt to use raw intelligence to bolster his position. (page 238) Libby called Kay to tell him that Cheney wanted him to examine "intelligence" provided by Manucher Ghorbanifar, who was associated with Oliver North�s criminal activities in the Iran-contra scandal. Kay told Woodward that the Cheney-Libby efforts reminded him of the novel The Da Vinci Code. (pages 259-260)
In "Plan of Attack," Woodward had compared Cheney�s isolation to that of Howard Hughes. (page 419) He noted that despite opposition to his opinion, "Cheney thought it wouldn�t matter in the end. It would be noise to history as long as they were successful in what they were trying to do. Outcomes matter." (page 429) As former federal prosecutor Elizabeith de la Vega has noted, CEOs engaged in fraud are often confident that "everything will turn out okay in the end." It is not a legal defense to charges of fraud.

Printer has started producing faint images of financial content

Epson SX218, Windows XP. Printer has started, in the last week, to make faint printings (so that one can hardly read the details) of emails or other documents with sensitive content. By this I mean confirmatory details when I have paid for something using Paypal, or booked a hotel room etc. The heading of the email is printed normally and all other things printed are OK. This behaviour is new to me, and I don't know what has caused it to happen, or where to find any settings which may have been altered. Has anyone had a similar occurance, or can help correct it, please?

It's possible that the email is Content-Type: text/html and the 'faint' text is actually grey in colour and not black.

Well, I have to apologise and say this has been a 'red herring'. The ink Monitor for the Printer showed the three colour cartridges as being amply filled, but when I tried a test image print, I got only a black, no colours, and performing an ink head clean, there was no change. So I installed three new colour cartridges, and 'Hey Presto', normal service has resumed. The ink cartidges I use are generic types, not original Epson, but this is the first time I have had any trouble from them. So, apologies for raising this thread and wasting your time.

Shea Stadium, Flushing, New York
NEW YORK -- In his last two starts for New York, Jae Seo has not allowed a run in 14 1/3 innings, the longest scoreless streak by a Mets starter this season.
Those two starts were separated by three months in the minor leagues, pitching for Triple-A Norfolk, while Seo waited for another chance at big league hitters.He was sent down after holding Philadelphia to one hit over seven innings on May 4 and celebrated his return to the Mets on Saturday, limiting the Chicago Cubs to four hits over 7 1/3 innings and outpitching Greg Maddux in a 2-0 victory.Tired of the inconsistent pitching of Kaz Ishii, the Mets sent the left-hander to Norfolk and brought back Seo for Saturday's start. Now, he'll stick around for at least one more while the Mets mull the return of Steve Trachsel to their rotation."I'm glad we got the win today," manager Willie Randolph said. "Jae Seo gets his next start. Then we'll wait and see how it plays out."Trachsel, out all season because of back surgery, has two more rehab starts scheduled. Ishii had occupied his spot in the rotation all season and was 3-9 with a 5.04 ERA when he was sent down. In light of Seo's performance, Randolph was asked if he thought the switch should have been made earlier."I never second-guess myself," the manager said.Seo (3-1) had not pitched in nine days as the Mets prepared him for Saturday's assignment against Maddux. He sent the Cubs to their fourth straight loss and fifth in the last six games by striking out four and walking one."I felt I had to be strong and make the best pitches possible," Seo said through an interpreter. "It's been a while. I was just a little bit nervous and I had to concentrate. I threw a lot of cutters and splitters."Maddux (8-9), winless since July 10, was bidding for his 314th win to tie Gaylord Perry for 16th place on the career list. He allowed four hits over seven innings, striking out five and walking two."He did his part in all ways," manager Dusty Baker said. "He pitched great, he made some great fielding plays, he stole a base, he got our first hit. He did everything he could to put us in position to win."The top of the Cubs lineup did not. Chicago's first six hitters were 0-for-22, including 0-for-18 against Seo, who retired the side in order four times.Roberto Hernandez ended his string of poor outings by striking out Derrek Lee with two men on to end the eighth, and Braden Looper finished for his 23rd save in 27 chances.Hernandez was troubled by his location lately and noticed his pitches getting up in the bullpen."I knew he was sitting on a fastball," Hernandez said of Lee, who has 33 home runs this season. "I shook off fastballs to throw splitters. That pitch I could keep down." The Mets reached Maddux for a run in the first.Miguel Cairo singled with one out and stole second. After Carlos Beltran walked, Maddux struck out Cliff Floyd and got two quick strikes on David Wright, but Wright then doubled to left to score Cairo.In the third, New York made it 2-0 when Jose Reyes singled, moved up on a fly ball, stole third and scored on a single by Beltran.The Cubs threatened in the fifth when Jose Macias singled and raced to third on a hit-and-run single by Henry Blanco. Maddux sacrificed Blanco to second, but Seo got Matt Lawton on a comebacker to end the inning.Blanco opened the eighth with a double, and after pinch-hitter Todd Hollandsworth lined out, Seo was lifted and left to a standing ovation. Dae-Sung Koo relieved and walked Lawton before Todd Walker flied out. Hernandez, burned in his last three outings, relieved Koo and struck out Lee to end the inning.Game notesMaddux had the first Cubs hit in the third inning and was credited with the seventh stolen base of his career when Seo ignored him and then threw low and wide to second base. ... Reyes stretched his hitting streak to a career-high 19 games and stole his 37th base. Reyes' streak is the longest current one in the majors. ... At Norfolk, Seo was 7-4 with a 4.29 ERA in 19 starts. ... Marlon Anderson struck out three times.

SIPTU members in Irish Rail are to ballot on fresh proposals for cost saving measures in the company.
According to SIPTU Sector Organiser, Willie Noone, the proposals include definitive clarity on exchequer subvention for the rail service for the next three years and a guarantee that the company will not seek further pay reductions or changes to conditions of employment during that time.
"The timeframe for pay cuts has been reduced to 25 months and €1.2 million that was previously earmarked to come from payroll cuts are now to be obtained from non-payroll areas.
Commitments have also been given by the company to address outstanding and unfulfilled trade union pay agreements," he said.
The SIPTU National Rail Committee decided today (Monday 16th June) to put the proposals to a ballot of members. The ballot will take place from 19th June until 6th July and will be counted on 7th July.
The proposals emerged from intensive discussions last week and an earlier vote by SIPTU members in favour of industrial action following their rejection of a previous Labour Court recommendation.

Funny toy, quality of projected images not best though. |
Good product Viktor 25 Jul 2014 |
My baby loves playing with this, but it's a shame that there isn't a 'lights only' option - the music is quite loud (even on the lowest setting), so isn't always very conducive to him falling asleep. Also, the sensor is very sensitive, and the loud music activates when he coughs in his sleep - which wakes him up!!! |
Good, BUT... Alice in Wonderland 16 May 2014 |
Didn't really rate this projector! Thought lullabies were boring and picture display was blurry and poor quality! Disappointed for money paid. The only good thing is that when set to a certain setting if baby cried projector automatically started back up! Didn't always work though. |
poor quality pictures! yummymummy123 6 May 2014 |
Great product. Relaxing music sends my baby to sleep on his own rather than relying on me rocking him to sleep. Morning music allows me to wake him up gently. |
Great product Claire & Baby Jake 1 May 2014 |
My 10 month old boy has been waking every 2 hours for the last 2 months so thought would give this a try as we had one with our daughter. On the first night it helped him go back to sleep without us having to go up to him. It doesn't work every time but if only once a night it will help. At first we bought a similar lightshow but it was not as good as this because it was too loud and did not come on automatically when baby cried. With our first daughter we had 2 which both broke so I expect this may only last months too but will have to wait and see. |
I would recommend this lightshow k8 30 Apr 2014 |

I wouldn't want to know it at tracks like Silverstone but I think it would be a good idea for at tracks with close barriers like monaco, canada and Singapore
No I think that hamilton is the faster one but he hasnt really got the hang if the merc. He is often not too happy with the setup and when you watch the onboard vids from when he was at mclaren he had a car which was always pointy, almost no understeer. When you watch this years onboard you can see that he is putting much more lock. He just needs time
O no the tyres are from pirelli
The ferrari driver said that he saw him in the mirrors but that he misjudged the distance, just an idiot!!
well i don't think it has something to do with tyres for Button, I think it has something to do with his pace he got lapped by Hamilton, and for Bruno as much as I like the guy he just hasn't the pace to be now In F1.
I agree with schumacher that the tyres are just too weak for formula 1 standards. A real F1 fan does know that F1 isn't all about overtaking. For me a race can also be exciting when 2 drivers are fighting for a position without the need of a overtake because the other guy is just defending good, what we now see are just quantitative overtakes and not qualitative, we see that one driver has no tyres left and gets then breezed past which is basically not racing. So the tyres should be able to be pushed by drivers. It's like a football game, when there is a good game and they are neck and neck but they tie the game you can say wow what a game that was.
Ron Dennis for sure. I think he should be the principal of McLaren.

Forty-one of Amtrak's 44 routes lost money in 2008 with losses ranging from nearly $5 to $462 per passenger depending upon the line, according to analysis by Pew's Subsidyscope.
The line with the highest per passenger subsidy - the Sunset Limited, which runs from New Orleans to Los Angeles - carried almost 72,000 passengers last year. The California Zephyr, which runs from Chicago to San Francisco, had the second-highest per passenger subsidy of $193 and carried nearly 353,000 passengers in 2008. Pew's analysis indicates that the average loss per passenger on all 44 of Amtrak's lines was $32, about four times what the loss would be using Amtrak's figures, only $8 per passenger, since it uses a different method for calculating route performance.
The Northeast Corridor has the highest passenger volume of any Amtrak route, carrying nearly 10.9 million people in 2008. The corridor's high-speed Acela Express made a profit of about $41 per passenger. But the more heavily utilized Northeast Regional, with more than twice as many riders as the Acela, lost almost $5 per passenger.
Subsidyscope calculated profits and losses per passenger to determine which routes cost Amtrak the most to operate. Its analysis was based on a 2005 Government Accountability Office (GAO) critique of Amtrak's accounting methods, which says the railroad should consider depreciation when calculating profitability. Other capital intensive industries, such as commercial airlines, include depreciation and overhead when looking at route performance.
In October 2008, Congress passed legislation reauthorizing Amtrak for an average of $1.5 billion a year for five years. The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act requires that the railroad provide metrics for measuring all long-distance routes and find ways to improve the financial performance of those routes. Amtrak officials say they are considering options to make the Sunset Limited less costly.
Amtrak lost $1.1 billion last year, but says that only $236 million of this should be attributed to its core business lines, such as the Northeast Corridor. The remainder, it asserts, should be associated with ancillary businesses, depreciation and other direct costs, such as fuel and power, locomotive maintenance and call centers.
Amtrak's ancillary businesses include contracted operator services to commuter trains around the country, such as the MARC in Maryland and Caltrain in California, many of which are buttressed through state and local funding sources. The ancillary businesses are actually a source of profit for Amtrak, bringing in $93.7 million in 2008.
The 68-year old streetcar was acquired as part of a trade with United Transportation Corporation (UTC)/Rail Air Sources (RAS) in exchange for two Siemens U-2 light rail vehicles that were phased out of the MTS fleet.
HART's property acquisitions range in price from $22,304 to about $6 million. In June, HART said that it has to acquire 213 properties for the project, and that it had an acquisition budget of $222 million.
The new production facility will serve the Brazilian market and, in a near future, the Latin America region where a number of new tramway projects are emerging. When fully operational, the facility will employ around 150 people.
The first phase of the effort calls upon local law enforcement agencies to show a greater presence at grade crossings, issue citations to drivers that violate rules of the road at crossings and consider rapid implementation of best practices for grade crossing safety.
The first phase of the plan would construct a four-mile section elevated guideway above a section of abandoned railroad tracks. The first section of the elevated railway could connect Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research campus with downtown Greenville.

Mom is at rehab until the latest the 22nd of March. I am enjoying the peace and quiet BUT I can't sit still I clean and clean. Plus everyday flying back and forth from home work rehab work hom etc on a daily basis. Its wearing me out.
I am deprived of sleep (aren't we all) but I am trying to sleep sleep.
The cats are surviving without her but Tiger is missing his grammy. Which he almost saw on Wednesday, he was 3 floors away from her. Witch! Anyways we corrected that problem, my boos talked to the head of admin and I provided them today with his paperwork and will be able to brin ghim up on Sunday (weather permitting). If it rains he stays home not having a soggy Breanna or Tiger.
I am going to double check tomorrow with them about him going up there without issue. I mean really he is fully vaccinated which is more than what most owners do (keeping a a cat indoors does not keep him safe from rabies or distemper) and he was in his stroller with his harness and leash on him. The cat was secured and just vocal but thats who he is.
Gram is driving my mother up a wall with guilt trips, she calls saying how lonely she is etc and my mom is like and what would you like me to do. so i told mom to ignore her. so now gram is harping on me about it. and i told gram its easier for me to stay in at work for lunch or now go visit mom (shes 5 mins away from work) than it is for you (she is 15-20 mins from work) and I told her with gas prices shyrocketing I am trying not to go anywhere so now she is bribing me. Fun.
And what is with these gas prices! I filled up monday it was $3.17 today it is $3.27 OMG! WTF!
My gym has become a faint menory to me, I have gone once since her surgery that was on saturday and I got an awesome workoutin but I miss it. I am planning on going friday and saturday. if it rains sunday maybe i'll go instead of going up to the rehab place.
i yelled at my fam that i am one single person and can only be expected to do only so much. mom was guilt tripping me for not staynig long enough each visit i have seen her every day that she has been in the hospital and rehab place) and my aunt is complainnig that i need to see gram more and gram wants me over mom and then wants me to schelp my mothe rover at least once a week once she is out of rehab. I justy one day had a huge meltdown and cried and told my mother while i was crying so then when i stopped crying and realized i felt better after telling my mother that I also told my aunt. i can't even try to talk to my gram because she get all upset then i'll have to call the EMTs not fun.
so thats that with me.
i am trying to hold it together. i am sick of doing dishes and litterboxes. and i am just hoping that tonight or one night soon i can just veg out at home and not clean and stuff.
hope everyone is having a good week. wish the winter would go away.

Member Comments About This Blog Post:
Dear woman, may the Lord bless you as you try to manage all of this.
Maybe I can help you with a few suggestions, maybe not. If your gram is able-bodied, could she fix you a sandwich if you visited her? It would be one less thing you would have to do and a meal for you.
If your cats eat dry food, when you feed them, put enough in bowls for the next feeding and cover with the bottoms of saucers on top of each of the bowls. Any time you can save, can be used for your chores or so you can relax.
I put the kitchen-size trash bags over our cat's litter box and just turn the bag back over the litter box when it needs cleaned. A squirt of dish soap and cleaning the litter box is a breeze. Put another bag over it and some litter and the chore is done.
Don't forget you can log heavy cleaning as your cardio.
Take along one of those small pocket notebooks, put one in your purse and one in your vehicle. As you think of things you need to take care of, write them down in your notebook. Prioritize your lists so you can do the most important things.
I had my Mom to take care of, her apartment, a job, my family of four and an 8-room house to clean. I couldn't keep up. Mom ended up in a nursing home because she has Alzheimer's and several other major illnesses. I will pray for you. If there are people telling you that you need to do this or that, tell them you need them to take over doing this or that and most of the time if they think they will have to do something, they will let you alone.

PoliticsEgypt killings prompt calls for restraint The US, EU and Middle Eastern countries respond to the killing of at least 51 people in Cairo early Monday morning. 09 Jul 2013 07:34 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Egypt, Germany The United States and the European Union have condemned violence in Egypt and called for utmost restraint after the killing of dozens of supporters of the ousted president. Washington called for Egypt's military, which last week removed President Mohamed Morsi, to exercise "maximum restraint" after more than 50 Morsi loyalists were killed. The Muslim Brotherhood, to which Morsi belongs, called for an "uprising" following the killings. In Brussels, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton warned all sides against "provocation or escalation" after the ' call for an uprising. Live Box 201372884866233 "All those who claim legitimacy must act in a responsible way for the good of the country and avoid any provocation or escalation of violence." Ashton "reiterates in the strongest possible terms her call for utmost restraint and an immediate end to the violence," the spokesperson said. The US is due to provide $1.3bn in military aid and $250m in economic aid to Egypt this year, almost all of which would be stopped if the administration formally deemed Morsi's ouster a coup. "I think it would not be in the best interests of the US to immediately change our assistance programmes to Egypt," said White House Spokesman Jay Carney on Monday. "We think, not just I, but we think that it would not be in the best interests of the US to do that. We are reviewing our obligations under the law and we will be consulting with Congress about the way forward, with regards to specifically the assistance package that we provide." Carney offered his condolences to the families of those who were killed in Cairo and called on the Egyptian military to use "maximum restraint" when dealing with protesters and urged leaders to work on creating a unified Egypt. US Senator John McCain pressed on Monday for the US to suspend its $1.5bn in annual aid to Egypt, saying that Morsi's removal from office appeared to be a coup led by the military. McCain said he understood that Morsi's removal was undertaken with broad public support and could eventually lead to a more representative civilian government. US White House spokesman Jay Carney says the Obama administration is concerned about what's happening in Egypt. But as Washington debates how to respond to events in Egypt, he said in a statement that US law forbids foreign assistance to countries where there has been a military coup against an elected government. "It is difficult for me to conclude that what happened was anything other than a coup in which the military played a decisive role," said McCain, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services committee and a leading congressional voice. An 'end to the bloodshed' Meanwhile, Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said he "strongly" condemned what he termed a "massacre", expressing his country's "solidarity with the Egyptian people". He called for a "normalisation" of the situation in Egypt, saying it was "the hope for the rising calls for democracy in the Middle East". Gaza's Hamas rulers also described the killings as a "massacre" and expressed their "profound pain and sadness over the victims". In its statement, Hamas also called for "an end to the bloodshed among the Egyptian people". Qatar, a key backer of the Muslim Brotherhood, said it "strongly condemns such unfortunate acts that take away innocent lives". The emirate urged "self-restraint" and "national unity" as it urged "dialogue to preserve security, safety, and stability" in Egypt, according to a foreign ministry spokesman. Germany also called for an independent investigation and urged all forces "to act with moderation and to renounce violence in all forms". "There is grave concern that there could be a further escalation of violence in Egypt," the foreign ministry in Berlin said in a statement. While not commenting directly on the recent violence, Iran slammed as "unacceptable and disturbing" the intervention of the army in political affairs. "It cannot be denied that foreign hands are at work here," said foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi, adding: "The polarisation of Egyptian society is dangerous."Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

Cat is muted as we begin this week's show, which offers just a nightmare vision of a world where Cat Deeley has been silenced forever. Thankfully, it doesn't last. The opening group number features Jasmine Harper being exalted above the other dancers (not without justification) and a whole bunch of red costumes/lighting eventually giving way to white costumes/lighting. Feels very Mia, with wayward souls crashing into each other the way she often likes to do with group numbers. But no, it's Stacey Tookey and Peter Chu, which makes sense, too, since Stacey, much as I love her, doesn't shy away from taking ... inspiration, let's say, from Mia Michaels.
This week's judges: Nigel, Mary and ... Carly Rae Jepsen. Sure. Remember Dan Karaty? I hated that guy. I miss him. Nigel gets to have his favorite moment of any season: bragging about the show's Emmy nominations, including another Best Host bid for our dear Cat, as well as choreography noms for Travis Wall, Mandy Moore, Tabitha and Napoleon, and Stacey Tookey. (Also, Alison Hokler got a choreography nomination for Dancing With the Stars.)
Eliminations. You should know that I no longer trust America's decision making when it comes to this show. We had a good run, voters, but we're on 2-3 seasons of very questionable decisions in the early weeks, culminating in last week's Jasmine Mason elimination. You're on your own. Anyway, the bottom 6 are: Mariah, Alan, Makenzie, BluPrint, Jenna, and Curtis. I'm officially bewildered by the apparent fanbases of Nico, Alexis, and Hayley. And for putting Jenna (and Makenzie, for that matter) in the bottom yet again, I feel like breaking up with America all over again. Two are supposed to get sent to safety right away, and after Nigel yammers on forever, justifying the Dance For Your Life solos (which aren't quite so immediate with the pairs routines happening between them and eliminations), before sending Jenna (thank God) and NO guys back to safety before we move on with the show. Free Alan and Makenzie, please. Particularly after Makenzie's lovely, delicate solo and Alan's bold paso (complete with pirouettes and onstage cape).
Alexis and Nico: Jive (Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin)
First of all, so great to see Tony and Melanie for the first time this season. I just adore them. Second of all, this is a great draw for Alexis and Nico; the jive always looks like so much fun, and as these two dancers are the most young-seeming (some might say "immature") this season, their exuberance and energy can work for them. There's one lift that looks rather determined, if not quite labored, and there's another awkward maneuver involving Alexis wrapping her arms around Nico's waist and him kind of stepping over her a few times that I'm not sure could ever look graceful, but for the most part, I thought they delivered a solid, fun routine. Nigel says it looked like they lost momentum halfway through and wonders aloud if the voters will forget them by the end of the two hours. Mary -- the only opinion I seek in these ballroom numbers -- said they did a really good job, actually. She also singles out the one really impressive lift that was executed flawlessly. Carly doesn't say all that much of consequence, maybe.

A protestor stands outside a police facility called Homan Square, demanding an investigation into a media report denied by police that the site functions as an off-the-books interrogation compound, in Chicago, Illinois, March 5, 2015. British newspaper The Guardian said in a report the Chicago Police Department holds suspects and witnesses for long periods of time at a former warehouse, without giving them access to attorneys or phone calls to family and without recording their detention.

The theme of this year's ALIS conference was "Don't Worry, Be Happy." But, lets face it, there are always going to be some people who aren't happy unless they are worried about something—whether it's the Fed potentially raising interest rates or that the price of oil is now too low, threatening to cripple the economies of some foreign nations.

Do you have a hard time taking your child places in the car?
Does your child make noises or flail about?
Do you feel nervous when you set out?
Would you like to concentrate on traffic instead of an agitated child?
Good car behavior is critical for the well-being of the family. Life is better when your child feels calm and happy in the car, and the family can go out and have a good time.
TAGteach is an excellent and easy way to build good car travel skills in small increments. With TAGteach, you "tag" a desired behavior of the child with an event marker signal (the "tagger") and then "reinforce" (give a treat of the child's liking). TAGteach allows the child to experience success for very small behaviors that eventually add up to a strong, complex behavior. Use the tag points below (and modify as necessary!) to teach your child to cooperate with getting into the car, and sitting calmly and quietly for the duration of the drive.
First small step: show that the car is a great place to be
Instead of taking an anxious child out in the car, start by showing the child that the car is just an object on the driveway. Park the car on the driveway and tag and reinforce the child every time she looks at or walks near the car. Here are some potential movements to tag:
- Child walks next to car, Tag and Reinforce.
- Child stands next to car, Tag and Reinforce.
- Child touches or opens car door, Tag and Reinforce.
- Child walks to another door, Tag and Reinforce.
- Child touches or opens another door, Tag and Reinforce.
- Child glances inside car, Tag and Reinforce.
Give the child as much time as she needs to become comfortable around the exterior of the car. Spend a few minutes several times a day working around the exterior of the car. Keep it up until your child is comfortable.

Why We Don't Starve Humans: An Interview with Dr. Chris Kahlenborn
By Tim Drake
Catholic Online
Dr. Chris Kahlenborn is an internist in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He serves as president of the Polycarp Research Institute (www.polycarp.org). He spoke with Tim Drake about the dynamics and ethics of denying a person nutrition and hydration.
Q: What happens to a person when he or she is denied food and water?
A: The first thing is that after 2-3 days you get extremely dehydrated. That results in a lot of changes in the body. Your mucous membranes and your skin get very dry. Your mouth cracks. It�s very uncomfortable. Your urine becomes very concentrated and acidic, making it uncomfortable to urinate.
Then your heart rate increases, your blood pressure decreases, and after about the third day, your kidneys start to develop problems. When the kidneys are damaged enough, they cannot get rid of the poison in the body. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) builds up. The effect that this has on the body is to give you a type of lethargy, and has an almost anesthetic effect. It can also result in seizures. The poison builds up and drives the person towards unconsciousness after a period of days. The cause of death is usually seizures or cardiac arrhythmia because of an electrolyte imbalance.
That sounds painful.
The initial part of the process is pretty painful. Imagine playing a tennis match and not grabbing your Gatorade. Try not drinking anything for a day or two and you would get a sense of what it would feel like. You could say that the person eventually gets comfort, but it�s after a lot of pain.
Q: Is the denial of nutrition and hydration a standard practice in health care?
A: It�s happening daily in hospitals, in hospices, in homes. It happens most often with patients who have Alzheimer�s or who have suffered bad strokes. It�s happening, yet no one is doing anything about it. Patients are often being denied stomach tubes per the family�s request.
Medical professionals are using the term �artificial nutrition and hydration� to say it�s not natural. They are arbitrarily calling it artificial partly because the means of getting food into you require assistance. Yet, if you use that definition, babies should be starving too, because every baby needs our help in order to be fed.
Q: Are Catholic medical professionals condoning this?
A: They are split. The Catholic Medical Association (www.cathmed.org) has an excellent statement currently on their web site: it reads:
In March 2004, Pope John Paul II addressed an international congress of health care professionals convened in Rome to discuss the scientific advances and ethical dilemmas in the vegetative state. In the statement by the Vicar of Christ, �Life Sustaining Treatments and Vegetative State,� he declares clearly and unequivocally that �the sick person in a vegetative state still has the right to basic health care�the administration of water and food, even when provided by artificial means, always represents a natural means of preserving life, not a medical act�Its use furthermore, should be considered in principle, ordinary and proportionate, and as such morally obligatory�Death by starvation or dehydration is, in fact, the only possible outcome as a result of their withdrawal. In this sense it ends up becoming, if done knowingly and willingly, true and proper euthanasia by omission.�
This papal statement makes it absolutely clear that the withdrawal of food and water from Mrs. Schindler-Schiavo constitutes euthanasia, a gravely immoral act. We would add furthermore, that it represents a violation of her constitutionally protected right to life and a violation of her religious freedom as a Catholic.
They would argue rather strongly that food and hydration should be provided unless it�s harmful or death is imminent. Some physicians have a pretty loose definition of imminent. For some that�s an hour or two; for others it�s six months. Death is imminent for all of us.
Q: Are there times when the denial of nutrition or fluids is permissible?
A: The way I see it, there should always be some form of hydration. There may be a time in medicine when you don�t have to place a stomach tube, but fluids should be continued to keep a person comfortable and to assist in hydration. If someone has metastatic cancer and has only a few hours or days to live, you wouldn�t have to put in a stomach tube, but the person should be kept comfortable with I.V. fluids.
About the only case I can see where you might withhold fluids for a certain time would be congestive heart failure, but that�s only temporary. It would be pretty hard to find a case where you wouldn�t give a person fluids. In almost every case, nutrition should be ...

Wow! I saw loads of pictures online today of the floods in Somerset. Eek. I hope you can get to uni OK tomorrow and you don't get any more rain. If it's any consolation, my roof is leaking and I have buckets and bowls everywhere trying to catch it all and there's heavy rain forecast tomorrow :( x
ReplyDeleteHad a horrendous night here last night with gale force winds and rain, was pretty scary at times and a lot of trees down etc today. Has died down a little this morning, although the rain is worse. I'm unusually rather fond of a little adverse weather myself, although I hate the devastation it causes. Hope you get to Uni safely.

Archaeologists say they've uncovered two royal buildings from Israel's biblical past, including a palace suspected to have belonged to King David.
Two archaeological finds, the Tel Dan Stele and the Mesha Stele, have direct bearing on the question of the existence of a historical David. The first of these is an Aramean victory stele (inscribed stone) discovered in 1993 at Tel Dan and dated c. 850–835 BCE: it contains the phrase ביתדוד (bytdwd), and the reading "House of David" for this "is now widely accepted". [19] The Mesha Stele from Moab, dating from approximately the same period, may also contain the name David in line 12, where the interpretation is uncertain, and in line 31, where one destroyed letter must be supplied.[20]

Marilyn Monroe's Childhood Sexual Abuse, Secret Life Revealed in New Biography
Bloomsbury USA |
Marilyn Monroe lived a strange, secret life that involved wearing disguises.
She also indeed suffered sexual abuse as a child. Those facts and more were confirmed in a thorough new biography by USC history professor Lois Banner, who found that the original blonde bombshell was much more intellectual than history has given her credit for.
The recently released book Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox bring's L.A.'s late leading lady to life via ...
... more than 100 interviews with Monroe's friends and associates, according to USC.
She read Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Chekov and once took a UCLA course on Renaissance art. Monroe was "completely determined" to be culturally fluent -- to be, as USC states, "the best."
Banner's research found Monroe's claim of having been sexually abused as a child to be true. According to the school:
She also confirmed the childhood sexual abuse that would sometimes manifest itself in aberrant behavior. Later in life, Monroe would speak publicly about that abuse -- a bold act for any national celebrity, but particularly for a woman in the conservative 1950s.
The actress' "hidden life," which involved disguises and aliases, was also revealed in the book. Banner:
She had put together this whole fantasy world for herself in addition to the regular world in which she lived. She liked to do daring and dangerous things.
Banner will be signing The Passion Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, which is marking the 50th anniversary of Monroe's death with a 7:30 screening of River of No Return.

Jill, Somehow I missed your earlier message on the Curham family in Devon England. I believe my Curham line originated there, but have not yet tied together. My great grandfather was born in Cavan, Ireland. His father Robert Curham and mother Mary Ann Darker moved the family to Dublin. My only surviving aunt in that line has told me that they had family in England, but don't know who. I have requested some records from Ireland, but they haven't yet arrived. I am hoping that they will find something that will help in the searches. My great grandfathers death certificate said his father was John George Curham, but I have reason to believe that was incorrect as I have since found some third cousins from the Curham line in Australia and New Zealand and we believe the fathers name was Robert. My great grandfather used his brothers name to draw military pension. He died in 1930. I will look forward to hearing from you. I just received notice from a responsibe from a Pauline in London. I will be coming to London in August. Look forward to hearing from you. Diana Pfeiffer
