Texas Politics
All Texas politics all the time from the San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle
Voucher Fight Delayed
Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, said that he would not attempt to pass a controversial proposal that would create a statewide voucher program by attaching it to the slow moving school finance overhaul in the House. Instead, Miller said, that he would draft the proposal as a separate bill and introduce it "hopefully" next week. Forcing […] [Read More]
Stadium Reacts to Controversial Perry-backed Prayer Rally
A prayer event Gov. Rick Perry has organized at Reliant Stadium on Aug. 6 is drawing nationwide criticism, in part because the event is being organized by the American Family Association, which advocates against gay rights. The AFA has been labeled a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center. When it comes to hosting […] [Read More]

Lawmakers rejected Gov. Rick Perry's insistence they remove a sales tax provision in SB 1 that would obligate on-line giant Amazon to collect the state sales tax. Rep. Bill Zedler, R-Arlington, failed to get support for his admendment to do that. But House Ways and Means Chairman Harvey Hilderbran, R-Kerrville, cast the fight in terms […] [Read More]

The First Word: Perry "Actively Considering" Running for President
On this day — the House prepares for its first real debate on school finance, class sizes, teacher pay and maybe even vouchers; in what must be a total coincidence, the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal both have stories saying that Gov. Rick Perry is "actively considering" running for POTUS; the American Family Association draws more scrutiny for its statements about gay rights and boycott of Home Depot; the immigration debate could be reshaped by the changing demographics of those seeking entry to the US; there's only 9 months until the primary but that didn't stop four of the GOP's Senate hopefuls from participating in a Tribune/Politico forum; and totally awesome pictures from the Space Station.

Dan Patrick pleased with poll results
State Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, said Wednesday he was "very encouraged" by a statewide weekend poll of Republican voters that he said demonstrated he had a significant lead over other potential candidates in the Republican Primary race to replace retiring U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. "This poll confirms that I would be the conservative front […] [Read More]
The First Word: Sanctuary for Special Session
On this day — the group organizing Gov. Rick Perry's football-stadium-sized revival comes under fire for their anti-gay rights rhetoric; reaction to Gov. Rick Perry's move to add 'sanctuary cities' legislation to the special session; the Chronicle's Nick Anderson on how the Medicare debate was overwhelmed by a Weiner; and in 'EXTRA!' Liberty County's psychic and mine have something in common. [Read More]

Somebody somewhere at every voting poll will be...
Submitted by Kiss My Tea Bag on Mon, 09/10/2012 - 18:13. Permalink
keeping a tab of who voted for whom. Even those that vote for Mickey Mouse will be tabulated but not officially counted or reported.
The insiders will know. Although, only what is officially counted and publicly reported will have any influence on the public and can not be spun by the pundits into a false interpretation.
The goal is not to elect Gary Johnson rather, send a PUBLIC message that CAN NOT be ignored or spun.
Vote your conscience if you care less that a PUBLIC IRREFUTABLE SPIN-PROOF message is delivered. Conscience Vs. Spin-proof Message, both have equal merits, IMHO. No one should discount either.

Fatality James also known as Beezlebub Pk is the greatest Runescape leader to ever lead a Runescape Clan. Originating from the Filiayano Mtn. Range Fatality James learned ancient techniques from his busha master in the temple of Addy. It is said that the day Fatality James unites his power with the other chosen ones that Runescape clans as we know it could become the ultimate alliance. Fatality James' enemies are known to be mysterious assasins known as foe's, they challenge his authority and disrespect his intelligence. It is quite certain that Fatality James controls the Runescape world as we know it, and without Fatality James the Foe's would likely defeat everything known to be real.
Everytime I wake up in the morning all I think about is Fatality James and my thankfullness for his Beezlebub Pk Charge.

Great Bend Fire Department
The Christmas holiday as a remembrance of the birth of Christ has rich significance, theologically and spiritually, for all.
The families of St. Mark Lutheran, 2101 Jackson, Great Bend, and St. Paul Lutheran, 402 N. Main, Galatia, invite the public to join them as they celebrate of the birth of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Here is the schedule for holiday services:
There has been a great deal said in the news and by pundits about the shooting that took place in Newtown, Conn., on Friday, the 14th. What is sad about most of what I have read and heard is the focus on the external causes coupled with opportunists trying to use this tragedy to promote their agenda.
Continuing in its long-standing tradition, the First United Methodist Church of Great Bend will offer a Christmas Concert at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 23, in the church sanctuary. Church musicians and guests from other congregations have put together a program of sacred and secular music, said Marc Webster at the church.
The number of people in need of a food box has increased over the last few years, but fortunately the number of churches and organizations distributing has increased as well, according to members of First United Methodist Church in Great Bend, who recently filled and delivered over 90 boxes.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – On Saturday, Dec. 15, the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine de' Ricci officially became members the Dominican Sisters of Peace, formerly the Great Bend Dominicans, who have served in Kansas since 1902.
Snow blew into Barton County Wednesday night around 7 p.m., starting first with sleet and rain. In Great Bend, the snow didn't begin to stick until after 9 p.m. Icy conditions were a problem for drivers with several sliding off roadways into the ditch. Motorists woke up to a thin blanket of icy snow and began the task of clearing pavement and defrosting and scraping windshields before hitting the streets.
Ah, the holiday season is upon us. What better time to show our support for our men and women in uniform?
March 15-21, 2015, marks the 10th anniversary of the nationally commemorated Sunshine Week in which open government proponents throughout our nation point with pride at transparency breakthroughs, but are equally alarmed about setbacks to the people's right to know what their government is up to.
column discusses how soil acidity changes as producers have managed it for crop production since Kansas was settled. We will focus on were soil pH started, how converting the land to crop production changed pH, and the role of evolving cultural practices. It may be helpful to refer to the previous two columns.
News that more than 40 countries have banned poultry imports from Minnesota after a lethal strain of avian influenza was confirmed in a turkey flock there has now been compounded by news of confirmed cases in Missouri and Arkansas turkeys.
Since the approval of the Community Orchard, I have been spending time researching and planning how to start the process. We decided on a date to get our young trees into the ground, so to celebrate, I thought I would share with you ten rules for planting trees. Our plant date for the orchard is Saturday, April 11, at 1 p.m. if you are interested in helping get this community project started. You can call the Extension office at 620-793-1910 for more information. We hope to see you there!

Here's one of the toughest questions facing NFL general managers and coaches as they ready for the next four weeks, which will be a virginal path the NFL has not taken in August in past years:
How do you truly find out if a guy's heart pumps Kool-Aid?
That's NFL-speak for finding out the toughness -- or lack of it -- for a player. There are other ways to say it, but we'll be politically correct. With so many rules and restrictions and time restraints and no-contact practices, this might be the toughest evaluation period the league's personnel people will ever have.
"That's going to be one of the hardest things, especially for the big people, players you have to see hitting to get a real evaluation," one NFC general manager said. "It's essential to see them line up and knock people back. With a limited number of camp days where you can pad up, it's going to make for a lot tougher times in terms of evaluating players."

The next month will try the NFL staffs like none other.
"We're going to lean on a lot of people in our building," said another NFC general manager. "We will let the director of college scouting, the pro personnel director and all our cap people go at it. It's going to be tough, but we'll get there."
The first step is to sign undrafted free agents and your own rookie class as soon as Tuesday. The latter won't be as tough as in the past because of the rookie wage scale. For example, the Carolina Panthers will pay top-overall pick Cam Newton in the neighborhood of $22 million over four years and more if the fifth-option year is included.
The St. Louis Rams paid Sam Bradford $60 million in guaranteed money when they made him the top pick last year.
The rookies will be slotted in and there won't be much negotiating, which means those deals should be easy to do. The undrafted rookie deals are always easy to do, but this year there isn't as much bonus money to spend. Teams that traditionally have lured some of the better undrafted players because of an extra $10,000 or so won't be able to do that.
"That's going to hurt a little," said an AFC general manager. "But these guys are so hungry to get signed, it might not be that big a deal as it might be to the agents in past years."
Some teams will also be busy trying to restructure deals, cutting players for cap reasons and re-signing their own players. The first day teams can cut players is Thursday. The first day they can actually sign a player is Friday at 6 p.m. Trying to fill 90 roster spots will be challenging for all the teams. That will mean signing close to 30 players for some NFL teams.
Then there is the negotiating with other team's free agents. Even though they can't be signed until Friday, the two sides can talk. This is a deep, talented pool of players. And teams have money to spend, money they have to spend.
Under this agreement, the teams must spend 99-percent of the camp in cash. That means teams like Kansas City, Jacksonville, Tampa and Cincinnati -- teams with a lot of cap room -- must spend that money.
Agents are slobbering at that possibility.
"You're going to have three or four teams bidding on the top guys," one agent said. "That's what you need to drive up the price."
Most general manages don't do the actual negotiating any more until it's time to close the deal. It used to be they did much of it. The cap managers and negotiators usually handle that now, with the GM coming in to close the deal.
"It just seems like there are way more important things to be doing than sitting there negotiating," the second NFC general manager said. "But the agents know that when the general manager steps in to make a final offer, it usually means it's the final offer."
Even though teams will be free to negotiate deals with the unrestricted free agents starting Tuesday, they won't be able to sign them officially until Friday. That leaves open the window that a player could agree to a deal, and then back out. A smart agent will use the deal as leverage. Wouldn't you?
Once the roster is set at 90, after a lot of hard work to get there, comes the hard part of evaluating the roster and cutting down to 53. Coaches and general managers are concerned that having no offseason could lead to some mistakes.
"It's so condensed and the rookies will have their heads spinning without having been in our program that it's going to be tough," one NFC coach said. "But it is what it is. It's the same for everybody. We adapt in the NFL as well as any profession. That's what we do. It's what we do at halftime. We will be OK. It just makes us work harder."
And makes it tougher to find the guys who actually have the hearts that don't pump Kool-Aid.

I wrote a program and sent the compiled file to my friend. but after an hour, he sent me the code of that! How did he do that. And how can i prevent it? is this problem just in .net?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
It can be done with reflector. If you want make it difficult for people to understand the code, you have to ofuscate it (there are tools to do dat, like dotfuscator).
I don't know if it's a .NET only problem...
Use an obfuscation tool like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotfuscator.
ILSpy (http://wiki.sharpdevelop.net/ILSpy.ashx) will show you the IL and can transform it to c#. You can try obfuscation.

Finally! (Yes, that applies to me posting, but also to Luke's Blackhawk's game!)
If you'll remember, Gran and Maddog sent Blackhawk tickets to Luke for his 10th birthday back in December.
He was SO EXCITED!!!
Well, the day finally came. Dan took off work early and took Luke to dinner in the city before they headed to the game.
The Hawks CREAMED to Coyotes, 6-1.
To top it all off, it turned out to be Bobble Head Night!
Unfortunately, not being experienced game-goers, Dan and Luke didn't know where or how to get a Bobble Head. Thankfully, though, as they were leaving the game, an older woman noticed that Luke didn't have one and gave him hers!

Kells' continue to progress after late start
Last updated at 12:13, Thursday, 12 April 2012
KELLS continued to make progress up the Cumberland ARL First Division table after their late start to the season.
They scored their third win in as many games when they beat Glasson 44-10, running away with the game after being held 12-6 at the break.
Dave Lowery and Ben Milburn each scored two tries while Carl Schofield, Grant McLaughlin, Connor Holliday, Lewis Smith and Ross Gainford also crossed. Milburn and Gainford kicked two goals each.
Gary Tierney scored a first-half try for Glasson, converted by Tom Dixon while Nathan Lucock crossed for their only points after the change-round.
With Maryport and Distington not playing Seaton took the opportunity to go level at the top when they won easily 54-6 at Broughton Red Rose.
The reigning champions were always comfortable after building-up a 28-6 lead by half-time and they were not seriously extended in the second-half.
Ryan Blair (3), Scott Burgess (2), Mark Routledge (2), Chris Highton, Tom McGeen, Andy McGlasson and Tom Curwen scored the Seaton tries with Miguel Blanco-Charters (3) and Highton (2) adding conversions. For the Red Rose Dan Rayson scored a try and also put over the conversion.
Tightest game was at Hensingham where the home side came desperately close to their first points of the season but were beaten 24-22 by Wath Brow.
The Hornets out-scored their hosts by five tries to four but Dean Laverick put over three kicks for Hensingham, against only two by Wath Brow's James McLennan.
John Machin (2), Martin Barwise (2) and Kevin Williamson crossed for the Hornets while the Hensingham tries came from Darren Nicholson (2), Connor Smith and Laverick.
Cockermouth moved into the top four after their 28-10 win at Seaton A where the home side had led up to the half-hour point.
But once in front Cockermouth eased into a 16-6 lead by half-time and only conceded a single second-half try as they went on to record a good win.
The Seaton tries came courtesy of Keith Hunter and Shaun Bigrigg, with Duncan Moyle landing the goal.
The Cockermouth tries came from Shane Cusack, Jack Clark, Mark Watson, Sean Mumberson and Gareth Skillen. Clark and Skillen landed two goals apiece.
Liam Wood was Seaton A's man of the match while Ryan Burns deserved the same accolade for Cockermouth.
Once again a Second Division game produced over a hundred points as Kells A won 66-42 at Frizington.
Frizington would have expected to win most matches after scoring 42 points which saw tries from Kyle Farrell (3), Dean Armstrong, Oliver King, Craig Branthwaite and Adam McGrady. There were seven goals from Dean Armstrong.
Ryan Groggins led the way with a hat-trick of tries for Kells A and also on the score-sheet were Travis Scott (2), Sean High (2), Nathan Maninga (2), Dan Joyce, Darren Wilson, Andrew Smith, Luke Richardson and Connor Hetherington. Brad Smith kicked seven goals.
Top scorers were Flimby who won 84-4 at Glasson Rangers A with 17 tries and eight goals from Scott Hodgson (4), Brett Smith (3) and Darren Pape.
The Flimby tries came from Brett Smith (4), Grant Underwood (3), Ryan Williams (2), Darren Pape, Tony Eve, Wayne Smith, Gary Steele, Ricky Morrison, Nathan Kirkbride, Gary McGraffin and Carl Grima.
Ellenborough were also convincing winners as they beat Egremont 62-0. They had the game won at the break, sitting on a 46-0 lead.
Andrew Burns (2), Tony Tinkler (2), Steve Stoddart (2), Alan Murray, David Miller, Dan Blaney, Ryan Wilson and Jamie Watson scored the tries with Stoddart kicking nine goals.
Aspatria and Clifton served-up a points spree as well with the Lions winning 42-34 in a tight contest. They led 24-12 at the break and were just able to hold-off the home challenge.
The Hornets tries came from Richard Holliday (2), Mark Irwin (2), Billy Dalton and Tom Gardner with Luke Johnston kicking five goals.
For Clifton there were tries for Michael Hill (3), Steven Hopper (2), Mark Fox, Jason Graham and Andrew Prest. Hill kicked five goals.

Results-Oriented Government:
GPRA Has Established a Solid Foundation for Achieving Greater Results

The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) has been in effect for 10 years. In that context, the subcommittee asked GAO to discuss our recent report, Results- Oriented Government: GPRA Has Established a Solid Foundation for Achieving Greater Results. Our testimony addresses the effectiveness of GPRA in creating a focus on results in the federal government.
GPRA's requirements have established a solid foundation of results-oriented performance planning, measurement, and reporting in the federal government. Federal managers surveyed by GAO reported having significantly more of the types of performance measures called for by GPRA. GPRA has also begun to facilitate the linking of resources to results, although much remains to be done in this area to increase the use of performance information to make decisions about resources. In our report, we also found agency strategic and annual performance plans and reports have improved over initial efforts. Although a foundation has been established, numerous significant challenges to GPRA implementation still exist. Inconsistent top leadership commitment to achieving results within agencies and OMB can hinder the development of results-oriented cultures in agencies. Furthermore, in certain areas, federal managers continue to have difficulty setting outcome-oriented goals, collecting useful data on results, and linking institutional, program, unit, and individual performance measurement and reward systems. Finally, there is an inadequate focus on addressing issues that cut across federal agencies. OMB, as the focal point for management in the federal government, is responsible for overall leadership and direction in addressing these challenges. OMB has clearly placed greater emphasis on management issues during the past several years. However, OMB has showed less commitment to GPRA implementation in its guidance to agencies and is not using the governmentwide performance plan requirement of GPRA to develop an integrated approach to crosscutting issues. In our view, governmentwide strategic planning could better facilitate the integration of federal activities to achieve national goals.

Nyack News
Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Comes to Nyack
Nyack College president, Dr. Michael G. Scales, recently announced that the New York State Education Department has approved the college's application to offer an undergraduate degree program in criminal justice. The Bachelor of Science in criminal justice, Nyack's 33rd undergraduate major, will be launched in the fall of 2009 on both the Rockland County and New York City campuses.
The new criminal justice major, in Nyack's School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is designed to help students develop a comprehensive understanding of crime and the criminal justice system in our nation. Students will be prepared for careers in law enforcement, private security, social welfare services, law office assistants, secret service, criminal law, rehabilitation of criminals, juvenile justice, loss prevention, criminalistics, forensic science, juvenile justice, corrections, probation and parole. It will also provide a strong foundation for those who want to pursue graduate studies in criminal justice or law.
The vision is to equip practitioners with a restorative justice view of criminal justice that attempts to engage victims, offenders, the affected communities, and the government in bringing about deep and lasting solutions. By focusing on healing and restoration of victims, offenders, and communities affected by crime, the Nyack B.S. in Criminal Justice will emphasize
culturally sensitive service to individuals and families. Graduates of the program will integrate social and restorative justice principles with professional criminal justice skills and critical thinking that enables creative solutions to criminal behavior.
For more information on the new criminal justice degree or other undergraduate programs, contact the Admissions Office at 800.33.NYACK for the Nyack, NY campus, 877.626.2236 at the New York City campus.

If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
I keep seeing overall length which is a maximum measurement not a minimum on .357. I have some .357 duplex loads that are almost flush to the case mouth. Seat to the canelure.
Spitty, there is a little bit of "give" allowed in the OAL of your rounds. But you don't want them so long as to have the bullet sticking out of the front of the cylinder on a revolver for obvious reasons.
For example, you could load a lead wad-cutter bullet seated flush with a .357 case mouth - or - you could load it sticking partially out of .38 spl case to get the same jump to the cylinder throat as with the .357 case.
As long as you are within the book specs for your powder charges, lightly compressed loads aren't a problem.

Harper "whips out" his ISIL lawyer joke
The Con bench seals laugh and clap at Steve's joke blowing off the UN and international law because grade six.
Harper went on to explain that Canada will be bombing Syria as part of an international coalition, although the US is the only NATO member currently bombing Syria. The other coalition countries bombing Syria are Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco, Qatar, and the UAE.
This same coalition of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Morocco, and the UAE minus Qatar also began bombing Yemen today. Egypt and Kuwait will be joining the offensive while Pakistan is still considering it. Nobel Peace Prize recipient President Obama has authorized the provision of US logistical and intelligence support to help bomb the Houthi rebels in Yemen who are fighting Al Qaeda and IS.
The Saudi-led air campaign against the Houthis in Yemen is dubbed "Decisive Storm".
Harper says IS is a threat to Canada and will extend the mission for another year.
DefMin Jason Kenney says they have no particular exit strategy..
h/t Maclean's for vid.
Update : Kenney whips out his "smart bombs", claiming Canada and the US are the only *coalition* bombing members that have them. David Pugliese shoots it down - both Saudi Arabia and UAE have 'em - in Saudi Arabia's case since 2008.
Harper and Kenney are leaning very heavily on the word 'coalition' in their bomb bomb bomb statements but as to who those coalition members actually are - not so much.
Update2 : Aaron Wherry weighs in tonight on Harper joking about international law :
Stephen Harper on the legality of bombing Syria: LOL
Shorter bonus grade six from Wherry : The government's position yesterday was that under UN Article 51, they 1) would be bombing Syria and 2) would not be informing the UN about it because it wasn't required.
Turns out right in Article 51 it specifies that "Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council" so the government has now *clarified* its earlier stance and will be sending notification after all.
World stage.

Dear Fred :
Thanks for yet another letter about how your anti-terrorism bill will crack down on ISIS recruiting Canadians over social media.
Have you heard of twitter by any chance?
But the show must go on, eh?
Gosh, was it only a year ago you announced a $10 to $14 billion General Dynamics contract to build and sell military LAV IIIs to Saudi Arabia because jobs jobs jobs?
Sadly the whole jobs jobs jobs angle hasn't really taken off for you, has it?
So its jihad jihad jihad all the time instead now and later today Steve will announce in the HoC he's going to expand getting his war on in Iraq and Syria for another year because following the US into yet another disastrous cycle of seeing how much worse the next bunch of rabid killers we will create out of it will take Steve's 'war president' shtick past the next election.
Anyhow, Fred, I wanted to thank you for this inspirational line from your letter :
"Those who would attempt to abuse the rights enjoyed by Canadians to spread their ideology of hate must be stopped."Yeah, come the next election I think the majority of Canadians will be looking into that.
P.S. Almost forgot - please send $15.

The Inconvenient Truth About Harper's Canada
Tomorrow night in Ottawa
Michael Harris and Donald Gutstein discuss how to undo the damage
I really really hope someone has arranged to tape this event and put it up online for those of us not in Ottawa.
Speaking at Goldman Sachs in New York last fall, Harper hinted at a greater military role ahead for Canada and leaving his mark on Canada :
"We've made it a policy of moving incrementally, but constantly, in our eight-and-a-half years in office," he said, citing changes to corporate taxes and a tougher law-and-order stance.
"I think that we've moved, and I think the country has moved with us."
"We've made it a policy of moving incrementally, but constantly, in our eight-and-a-half years in office," he said, citing changes to corporate taxes and a tougher law-and-order stance.
"I think that we've moved, and I think the country has moved with us."
Farley Mowat in "Party of One" :
"Stalin had small balls compared to this guy. Harper is probably the most dangerous human being ever elevated to power in Canada. How the population has acquiesced in following this son of a bitch, and to let him take over their lives, I'll never know. You have to create warrior nations, they are not born. They have to be made. It is the preliminary step of a tyrant. And this son of a bitch incited Canada into becoming a warrior nation."Michael Harris :
"Harper has simply made the calculation that if the way to give a chameleon a nervous breakdown is to put him down on plaid, the way to win an election in our disappearing democracy is to offer Canadians only two flavours — vanilla or chocolate.That means hitting the hot buttons, over and over. Before oil prices tanked, greed was the button of choice. Now it's fear. It makes things starkly simple — black and white, good and evil..
As simple as War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery … and Ignorance is Strength. It's a campaign designed for Idiot Culture. The only question is, are there enough idiots out there to put Harper over the top again?" .

Chris Alexander unplugged
David Climenhaga dissects Alexander's speech here and links to the entire Ukrainian Canadian Congress event but I thought I'd extract Alexander's remarks for posterity.
Alexander is particularly outraged about any mention that Ukraine might have a neo-Nazi problem, which he blames on :
"dangerous ideology. Which is present in our own city of Toronto! Which is present across Canada! Which comes to us through state-sponsored Russian channels that are preaching absolute poison."
while evidently being unaware Canada has a Right Sector chapter of its very own.
Perhaps he'd rather hear about it from the BBC :
or the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany last month :
Climenhaga :
"Alexander was followed as speaker by Andriy Parubiy, deputy chairperson of the Ukrainian parliament and founder in 1991 of that country's evocatively named Social-National Party, which the Wikipedia describes as having "combined radical nationalism and neo-Nazi features" before changing its name to Svoboda ("Freedom") in 2004.In his speech Mr Parubiy said his fighters in Ukraine are standing for the entire civilized world.
He says "Canada has an "authoritative voice" on the conflict in eastern Ukraine and could help persuade the United States to send lethal weapons to Ukraine."
"This is going to be a great struggle," said Alexander, " We are just at the beginning of this struggle."

A Tale of Eco-Surveillance
Ottawa Citizen June 4, 2014 Government orders federal departments to keep tabs on all demonstrations across country
G&M Sept 14, 2014 Environmental extremism a rising threat to energy sector, RCMP warns
Global, March 17, 2015 CSIS helped government deal with Northern Gateway protests
You can listen to his account at the link.
Some good news ...
Forum Research and VICE have a poll out today on plummeting support for Bill C-51 from 1370 online Canadian voters surveyed March 13 and 14th :
"The federal government is expanding its surveillance of public activities to include all known demonstrations across the country, a move that collects information even on the most mundane of protests by Canadians.
The email requesting such information was sent out Tuesday by the Government Operations Centre in Ottawa to all federal departments.
"The Government Operations Centre is seeking your assistance in compiling a comprehensive listing of all known demonstrations which will occur either in your geographical area or that may touch on your mandate," noted the email"
G&M Sept 14, 2014 Environmental extremism a rising threat to energy sector, RCMP warns
"Environmental ideologically motivated individuals including some who are aligned with a radical, criminal extremist ideology pose a clear and present criminal threat to Canada's energy sector," said the report, written in March 2011. Since then, the RCMP has held regular meetings with energy companies and federal officials to review potential threats to infrastructure
RCMP spokesman Greg Cox denied the force is targeting protesters or environmental groups in general
G&M Feb 17, 2015 : 'Anti-petroleum' movement a growing security threat to Canada, RCMP say :
"In highly charged language that reflects the government's hostility toward environmental activists, an RCMP intelligence assessment warns that foreign-funded groups are bent on blocking oil sands expansion and pipeline construction, and that the extremists in the movement are willing to resort to violence.
RCMP spokesman Sergeant Greg Cox insisted the Mounties do not conduct surveillance unless there is suspicion of criminal conduct.
"As part of its law enforcement mandate the RCMP does have the requirement to identify and investigate criminal threats, including those to critical infrastructure and at public events," Sgt. Cox said in an e-mailed statement. "There is no focus on environmental groups, but rather on the broader criminal threats to Canada's critical infrastructure. The RCMP does not monitor any environmental protest group. Its mandate is to investigate individuals involved in criminality."
... the report which is stamped "protected/Canadian eyes only" and is dated Jan. 24, 2014."
Global, March 17, 2015 CSIS helped government deal with Northern Gateway protests
"Canada's spy agency helped senior federal officials figure out how to deal with protests expected last summer in response to resource and energy development issues – including a pivotal decision on the Northern Gateway pipeline.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service prepared advice and briefing material for two June meetings of the deputy ministers' committee on resources and energy"
"A B.C. climate change scientist says he got an "intimidating" call from RCMP because he had taken pictures on Burnaby Mountain near the site of a proposed [Trans Mountain] Kinder Morgan pipeline.
Tim Takaro, a health sciences professor at SFU, says he was having lunch in Tofino with his family on Wednesday when his daughter's [unlisted] cellphone rang.

Some good news ...
Forum Research and VICE have a poll out today on plummeting support for Bill C-51 from 1370 online Canadian voters surveyed March 13 and 14th :
"When asked their approval of a number of specific provisions of bill C51, the majority disapprove of the Bill allowing security services to infiltrate and track environmentalists, First Nations and pipeline protesters (61%)"Support for tracking and infiltrating environmentalists, FN, and pipeline protesters came from Alberta (32%) and federal conservatives (56%)
Support for the overall stiffer legislation of C-51 (just under half of respondents) :
"is common to the oldest (62%), the wealthy ($80K to $100K - 62%), in Quebec (72%), among Conservative voters (84%), Bloquistes (76%), the least educated (74%), mothers of children under 18 (65%), Catholics (72%) and Evangelicals (82%)."Figures.

RNN : Canada's "Patriot Act" as a political ploy.
The Real News Network is doing a weekly panel discussion on Canadian issues and it's refreshingly less middling than the media panels we have become accustomed to.
In today's panel, Leo Panitch and Dimitri Lascaris take on Bill C-51, the tanking tarsands, and the political positioning of the Libs, Cons, and NDP going into the next election.
Please click through to RNN at the link to show your support for a vid I've only pillaged from their site.

Bill C-51 : ICYMI - rights are important
C51 Day of Action protest tomorrow, Saturday March 14
Find the one nearest you on the map
Only public pressure has any hope at all of shifting the Cons because they are definitely not listening to the C51 committee witnesses so we're gonna need something that looks like this.

Harper's Perps with Perks #14
Welcome, senior cabinet minister Diane Finley, to Stephen Harper's Perps with Perks for violating conflict of interest laws when you awarded $1-million in funding to provide wheelchair access to a building on the ground floor that has no stairs and boasts barn-sized doors.
The application for funding submitted by a personal friend of John Baird's scored 3rd from last out of the 167 applicants reviewed by her department.
Ms Finley appears to have signed off on the project proposed by Rabbi Chaim Mendelsohn, Director of Chabad Lubavitch of Centrepointe in Ottawa following interventions from Baird ( who toured Israel with him the following year) as well as Peter Kent, Nigel Wright, and PMO staffers Ray Novak, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, and Rachel Curran, Policy Advisor for Social Affairs.
CBC and the G&M have provided good accounts on this but federal ethics watchdog Mary Dawson's scathing report tells a tale of patronage beyond Finley.
1) While I appreciate Rabbi Mendelsohn's stated concerns to Dawson that he was in danger of losing support in the Jewish community if he couldn't rock up grants from the Cons (page 14), his building not having "any existing barriers requiring reduction" for wheelchair access should have been the determining factor.
2) "Rabbi Mendelsohn claimed in emails to ministerial staff following the 2011 election that Chabad Lubavitch branches across Canada had mobilized tens of thousands of volunteers and voters." Again, not really a wheelchair access problem.
3) "Three departmental officials told me that, in early summer of 2011, the Department received a letter from Minister Kent [the project is in Mr. Kent's riding} to Ms. Finley ... Minister Kent addressed the importance of the Federation and the Markham proposal and urged Ms. Finley to consider funding it. Two of these officials vaguely recalled that Minister Kent referred to a relationship between the Jewish community of the Greater Toronto Area and the Conservative Party of Canada."
Again ...
4) "Mr. Wright wrote that she [Ms Finley] had pulled him aside outside the Cabinet room and asked him whether he considered the Markham proposal "important." Mr. Wright wrote that he told her he had been asked by the Prime Minister to "sort it out."
Mr. Wright wrote he did not intend to suggest to Ms. Finley that funding should be approved for the Markham project, only that it was important that the matter be considered carefully and fairly. Mr. Wright believed he had "sorted out" the matter by communicating that request to Ms. Finley."
5) Following Nigel Wright's conversation with Finlay's Chief of Staff Phil Harwood :
"Rabbi Mendelsohn said that Mr. Harwood provided him with a list of additional information that was needed and asked him to compile the information based on concerns expressed by officials in the Department about the completeness of the Federation's Markham application. ... Mr. Harwood said he was unable to recall clearly why Rabbi Mendelsohn had submitted additional information on the Markham project. ...Rabbi Mendelsohn submitted additional information... after being told by Mr. Harwood to do so "
6) Following the Markham project's crappy internal review and Harwood's discussion with Nigel Wright :
"Mr. Harwood said that he recommended that Ms. Finley consider sending the Markham project for external review.... no other applicants were permitted to submit additional information for assessment, either by the internal or the external evaluators. Following the external evaluation, the Markham proposal was not subjected to additional evaluations by the internal review committee as were the top 25 projects"
7) Following the crappy external review, Department officials drafted a letter :
"A letter of decision will be sent to the organization to inform them they were unsuccessful in their application."
However the letter was not sent, Finley was not informed of it, and "Departmental officials told me they were instructed by the Senior Assistant Deputy Minister, Mr. Paquette, to provide only the findings of the external evaluation".
Both internal and external reviews noted "the proposal did not directly address the requirements for making buildings and other facilities accessible to persons with disabilities."
8) "Ms. Finley signed the memorandum, dated August 26, 2011, approving the funding of the Markham project by checking the "yes" box."
9) As funding for approved projects were used up, "an additional $1,044,000 to cover the funding for this project was taken from the small-sized projects component of the program."
10) "The Government of Canada announced the funding of the Federation's Markham project on October 11, 2011."
11) "The Department ultimately withdrew its funding for this project. Information provided to my Office indicated that the Chabad Lubavitch of Markham was unable to obtain the necessary construction permits required for the work to be completed within the timeline negotiated with the Department, and there were significant increases in costs to deal with building deficiencies."
11) "The Department ultimately withdrew its funding for this project. Information provided to my Office indicated that the Chabad Lubavitch of Markham was unable to obtain the necessary construction permits required for the work to be completed within the timeline negotiated with the Department, and there were significant increases in costs to deal with building deficiencies."
12) "It was clearly inappropriate that the funding went to the Markham project."
Throughout, there's also pages and pages of this :
"Mr. Baird told me that he didn't recall speaking to Ms. Finley ... Mr. Baird doesn't recall speaking to Rabbi Mendelsohn about the proposals... Mr. Kent could not recall speaking with Ms. Finley about the Markham project ... Mr. Kent's office could not locate a signed copy of the letter to Ms. Finley... Ms. Finley told me that she was not aware of a letter from Minister Kent ... Ms. Finley told me she could not recall a discussion with Mr. Wright... Ms. Finley told me that she did not specifically recall discussing the Markham proposal with Mr. Harwood... Ms Finlay did not recall any discussion with former Minister Baird ..."
Thursday update : Kady O'Malley : "At no point in the Finley report does the ethics commissioner "make it clear" the prime minister was not involved in the selection process."
Wecome aboard, Minister Finley.

Steven Blaney calls a cat a cat
"The Holocaust," intoned Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney today, "did not begin in the gas chamber; it began with words."
He's right, of course. It began with a government capitalizing on a disaster event to demonize a segment of the population and suppress civil rights - including freedom of expression, assembly, and the expectation of privacy in personal communications - while hurriedly implementing a legal basis for the secret imprisonment of anyone considered not friendly to the government's agenda of security over democracy.
So it began with a law something like Bill C-51.
Press Progress is already all over Blaney's peculiar mention of the Holocaust to justify certain measures of Anti-terrorism Act 2015 at the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security studying Bill C-51 today, but I noticed it was a somewhat leading - dare I say, planted - question from Con MP Rick Norlock that preceded and provoked it.
Norlock awkwardly read a question off his prepared question sheet regarding the takedown of internet sites :
Norlock at 49:35:
After JustMin Peter MacKay's response, Blaney signalled he wished to speak to the question also:
At the 53:45 mark, Blaney :
Asked about possible abuses of C-51, Blaney explained he was not worried because he would be the one signing off on the warrants.
Gosh was it only six weeks ago that Blaney gave a speech to the UN General Assembly on the Holocaust and Canada's efforts to combat anti-Semitism in the form of the BDS movement? :

Norlock awkwardly read a question off his prepared question sheet regarding the takedown of internet sites :
Norlock at 49:35:
"Can you explain the gap in the legislation you're trying to fill and I'm referring mainly to the promotion and and takedown threshold with regards to internet sites. We've heard some folks say that this portion of the legislation is an attack on our freedom of speech. I don't believe it is but I do believe, I do not believe, that promoting the commission of terrorism acts is acceptable. Can you explain the legislation and how it is different than the current hate speech laws that are focused on certain groups."Certain groups? I hadn't realized we had "current hate speech laws that are focused on certain groups".
After JustMin Peter MacKay's response, Blaney signalled he wished to speak to the question also:
At the 53:45 mark, Blaney :
"As you know our government has tabled a counter-terrorism strategy that has four pillars - to prevent, detect, deny, and response. And the fact that as a government , as a society, as we will be able to shut down those websites who are promoting hatred and violence is a tool helping us in the first pillar of prevention of radicalization because as we know, we've heard it, the Holocaust did not began in the gas chamber, it began with words. So we have to be careful and that's why this measure I feel is so important and I also am committed as Minister of Public Safety to work with my partners such as Minister Bernard Cazeneuve of France, our European partners, American - so that websites that could be hosted in other countries could also be shut down if they are promoting hatred, extremist ideology, and violence. So I believe this measure, C-51, is part, is helping the four pillar of our counter-terrorism strategy. Thank you."Randall Garrison (NDP - Esquimalt- Juan de Fuca, BC) protested Blaney's rhetorical trivialization of the Holocaust and Blaney doubled down in the portion Press Progress posted :
Asked about possible abuses of C-51, Blaney explained he was not worried because he would be the one signing off on the warrants.
Gosh was it only six weeks ago that Blaney gave a speech to the UN General Assembly on the Holocaust and Canada's efforts to combat anti-Semitism in the form of the BDS movement? :
"One year ago our Prime Minister Harper stood in the Knesset in Jerusalem to declare that through fire and water Canada would stand with the people of Israel and all the Jewish communities in the face of anti-Semitism. ... That is why Canada plays a leading role in the fight against the Islamic State. Prime Minister Harper spoke at the Ottawa conference on combating anti-Semitism, clearly outlining the real threat of anti-Semitism and Canada's duty to respond. He said " We must speak clearly, remembering the Holocaust is not merely an act of historical recognition - it must also be an understanding and an undertaking - an understanding that the same threats exists today and an undertaking of a solemn undertaking to fight those threats."
.... Canada has a zero tolerance to anti-Semitism in all forms of discrimination, including in rhetoric towards Israel and attempts to delegitimize Israel such as the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. This is because that those who threaten the existence of the Jewish people are a great threat to us all. More works needs to be done to combat the scourge of discrimination inherent to anti-Semitism and under Prime Minister Harper's leadership, Canada will continue to be a leader in those efforts."
And just a couple of weeks before that, John Baird was in Israel signing a new MOU:
Meanwhile the website of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada addressed the new MOUs and "the challenge posed by terrorism", including more "standing with Israel through fire and water" and concluding :
So I ask again : how much of Bill C-51 is about the Cons soppy infatuation with the current rightwing government of Israel?
Wednesday Update : The first use I can find of the phrase "The Holocaust did not begin in the gas chambers - it began with words" is from Liberal MP Irwin Cotler writing for the Jerusalem Post five years ago. It's the title of his article.
- Deeply concerned by efforts to single out the State of Israel for criticism and isolate the State of Israel internationally including calls for a boycott of the State of Israel, for the divestment of investments, and for sanctions to be imposed on Israel
- Recognizing that the selective targeting of Israel reflects the new face of anti‑Semitism
Meanwhile the website of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada addressed the new MOUs and "the challenge posed by terrorism", including more "standing with Israel through fire and water" and concluding :
"Whether the fight against violent extremism is conducted over the skies of Iraq or in the tunnels under Gaza, Canada and the State of Israel are fighting enemies whose hateful ideologies and goals threaten all peaceful, democratic societies. That's why we are committed to enhancing our collaboration on security and defence, especially in the increasingly important area of cyber-security."From Part One of Bill C-51 : Security of Canada Information Sharing Act :
"Whereas Canada is not to be used as a conduit for the carrying out of activities that undermine the security of another state"and where the last of nine definitions of "activities" is :
(i) an activity that takes place in Canada and undermines the security of another state
So I ask again : how much of Bill C-51 is about the Cons soppy infatuation with the current rightwing government of Israel?

Fundraising at the mall - terror for the win
As one of our strongest supporters, you know the fourth quarter fundraiser of 2014 was our best in a decade. But we could raise so much more!
Why just this week, 20 cheerleading teams withdrew from a competition at West Edmonton Mall due to fears it would be bombed by a Somali terrorist group that has never committed a terrorist act outside of East Africa. Terror for the win!
But wait - there's more!
When we put our West Edmonton Mall mujahideen ad up on Facebook, many of the responses demanded we allow Canadians to open carry guns in malls to defend themselves against our ad.
Shockingly, the hug-a-thugs Justin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair have not made any terrorist ads of their own.
Fortunately we can count on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to pass our new Anti-Terrorism Act to keep Canadians safe. At the mall. Remember, they hate us for our values at the mall.
Please send $15 and add your name to stand with our Prime Minister and his strong stable throbbing authoritarian majority here.
Update : Heh and heh

Current/Elliott Jeans
Sophia Bush in Current/Elliott The Stiletto Jeans in Shredded
Sophia Bush snapped a photo of the paparazzi with her phone while out with a friend. She wore her Current/Elliott The Stiletto jeans in shredded with an embroidered blouse and flat sandals.
I also love Sophia's Givenchy tote, she tends to add fun, quirky touches to her outfits, and I think this tote does just that. These jeans have been really popular with Sophia and other celebrities lately and you can see the Who Wore It Best post here as well as buy them online here.
Chrissy Teigen in Triple Denim – NSF & Current/Elliott
Chrissy Teign was spotted walking her dog in New York. The model paired together a bleached NSF vest with a pair of black denim shorts and a Current/Elliott shirt tied around her waist. She then finished her look off with a Givenchy bag and some Valentino sandals.
Chrissy somehow made this look work really well. Just hearing the words triple denim together can sound like a lot, but adding bleached denim to the mix can make it sound like a disaster. By keeping everything else in the grey and black family, it leaves the vest to standout in a good way. What do you think of this look here? You can click here to purchase this vest from Barneys and Current/Elliott from SHOPBOP.
Weekend Going Out Look: Current/Elliott The Stiletto Pencil Skirt
My weekend going out look this week features the Current/Elliott The Stiletto Pencil Skirt in Shredded. I've been a huge fan of the denim pencil skirt trend for a while and think they can look so chic when worn right. They can look mature rather than young and sophisticated, not trashy.
For this look, I paired the skirt with a 7 For All Mankind Denim Shirt which I would wear tucked in. I then chose these Brian Atwood Sema Wedges to give the look some ease. To add some brightness, I went with a Victoria Beckham Yellow Tote and a Yellow Statement Necklace. I then went for some Debutante Pearl Stud Earrings, a EF Collection Arrow Ring, a Adina by Adina Reyter Star Ring and a pair of Victoria Beckham Aviators. I would definitely wear this look in the day time!
Dakota Fanning in Current/Elliott Boyfriend Jeans
Dakota Fanning was pictured at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California a couple of days ago. Like with every LAX celebrity sighting we get, it looks like the paps were hanging around to see who arrives.
Dakota wore a pair of Current/Elliott Boyfriend Jeans with some slip ons, a loose tee, a blazer and a scarf. These are the type of outfits that I feel more used to seeing at the airport as I know people like to be comfortable when flying. How many of you are wearing your Current/Elliott Boyfriend jeans at the moment? Buy them online at Shopbop.com.

Privacy: More than the right to delete and forget
Our worlds are increasingly networked and our personal data collected left, right and centre. Ask anyone who has to use a biometric identity card like Malaysian Jac sm Kee who has to give her ID number even if she's just buying movie tickets online. We can be sure much of the information collected about us online is not that securely warehoused. So what needs to be done to protect our right to privacy online? And what about our own circle? If a boyfriend broadcasts an intimate photo via mobile phone, what then? Jac argues that in the digital age, personal data is no longer just our property, it has become part of who we are. What will be key in the future will be for us to have as much control as possible over our personal data — and that control should be based on "consent" rather than "protection of privacy".
