For those of you who haven't had the dubious pleasure of reading the goop that Democrat hack Kevin Foley of Kennesaw Georgia writes in newspaper columns and blogs at the Marietta Daily Journal, let this serve as an introduction to his typical mindless, liberal race-baiting.
In April, Kevin Foley, a self-described "Progressive" felt the need to take a swing at the Tea Party and Republican congressman Allen West in a newspaper column by explaining to the reader that "Tea partiers like West are failing because they see modern America in monochrome. The country has changed since the Constitution was written, yet tea partiers long for the days of when a man — and only a white man — could do as he pleased, however he pleased."
Got that?
Setting aside for a moment that Tea Party members come in all descriptions and colors, what Foley didn't know (this guy should get out more) – and what he failed to even research – is that Congressman Allen West happens to be a proud black American.
While reading this little gem here, it took this humble writer a couple of minutes to stop chuckling at Progressive-Kevin-Foley-of Kennesaw-Georgia and his obvious play-the race-card, ask- questions-never style of smearing. Apparently, research is for the less gifted.
It gets better. And more insightful.
The MDJ ran a well written letter to the editor in response to Foley's silly race-baiting from a local Tea Party leader named Jan Barton with an observation on the above that was to the point in asking someone to explain Allen West's race to Foley (race, skin color and ethnicity are all very important to liberals).
Mrs. Barton's letter went like this:
Foley proved facts don't matter

A friend of ours for nearly ten years, Leah Durant is the Executive Director head of "Progressives For Immigration Reform", an organization that (somebody get out the smelling salts for occasionally accurate Kevin "make-'em-all-legal" Foley) demands justice in immigration by…enforcing American immigration laws.
You can see Leah and friends in a short video from the PFIR YOUTUBE page and visit the PFIR website to see some common sense positions on immigration as related to what many in the media would like you to believe are separate issues. They aren't.
Leah Durant rocks!
For those readers who are following the "we must be careful" news story involving the fact that the Cobb County Board of Commissioners started the education process on the federal IMAGE certification process in 2010, announced the intention to apply more than a year ago and publicly signed an agreement with ICE in May, you can see the big ugly bald guy's public comments (no laughing!) to the Board at Tuesday's regular meeting and Chairman Tim Lee's response. Anyone on the Board responding to a public comment is rather unusual.
Be advised that there is zero reason that Cobb cannot require IMAGE certification for all contractors. There is already a state law in place that requires use of E-Verify before a public contractor can have a bid accepted by a public employer like Cobb County. We did that in the Capitol in 2006. And zero reason that an ordinance that has already been sent to the county legal department to be drafted cannot see a vote at the next meeting on Tuesday July 24 – at 7:00 PM.
To many contractors, the terrifying part of the process of becoming IMAGE certified is a federal audit of past hiring documents called "I-9" forms that can expose any use of false or stolen documents – thereby exposing illegal alien workers who are taking food out of the mouths of American workers families.. This is the last thing many contractors want or will sit still for. The Chamber of Commerce and the construction lobby is using all of their considerable power to stall this until they can find an excuse to kill it after the primary election on July 31st.
Serious problems with contractors using bargain basement priced, taxpayer subsidized black market labor have been exposed multiple times here in Cobb County in the past. You can watch a 2010 WSB TV news report – one of several – here. You can also watch a 2011 Fox Five TV undercover report on your tax dollars going to dishonest contractors and illegal aliens.
Two commissioners, Bob Ott and Jo Anne Birrell have already started the ordinance process… three weeks ago. Bill Byrne, one of four candidates for the County Chairmanship, released a media advisory yesterday promising to use the power of the Chairman's seat to get an IMAGE certification requirement in place. To my knowledge, this is the only candidate to do so. I have no idea where the other two commissioners, Woody Thompson and Helen Gorham stand on the IMAGE certification requirement for contractors. Hmmm…
After spending the last decade on illegal immigration, I can tell you that IMAGE certification is the ultimate tool to insure a legal workforce. Which is why it may never be introduced into the system.
I can also tell you that unless considerable public pressure is exerted on Cobb's Board of Commissioners, including the current Chairman, this cost-free, 100% effective instrument to root-out the illegal alien infestation in our public-funded work crews will remain a little known, unused tool.
If you want to help, you can access instructions, background and contact information from a recent Dustin Inman Society "ACTION NEEDED" alert our organization sent out this week. If you want to put your name on our email list to receive future alerts you can see the link on the Dustin Inman Society Website's Homepage.
All politics is local and silence is consent.
Editor's note: D.A. King is president and founder of the pro-enforcement, Cobb-based Dustin Inman Society and a nationally recognized authority on illegal immigration.
Saturday, July 7 marked two years since a very dear friend and a great American named Terry Anderson passed away at age sixty. Terry lived in Los Angeles, California, USA which is easily and accurately described as the illegal immigration capital of the world. Terry lived in his neighborhood most of his life and watched as the invasion of California forever changed his corner of America in about two decades.
I post here in case anyone wants to read a heartfelt good-bye written by yours truly to honor someone we miss very much at our house. Another friend, Mark Krikorian, wrote about Terry's death on the National Review website. It is well worth your time.
One of the things that Terry and I used to laugh about was the fact that because he was quite vocal and effective in demanding an equal application of American laws – even immigration laws and employment laws, even for illegal aliens from Latin America and pointed out that illegal immigration effects America's poorest first - he was regularly smeared as a "racist" and even a "white supremacist. "
For the race-baiting Kevin Foley's of the world, here is a two-minute video of Terry testifying in congress on what illegal immigration from Mexico had done to his community by 1999. Go for it…
You can see a photo or two of Terry (that's him holding up the placard that reads " GRINGOS FOR AMERICA") at the first pro-enforcement rally I ever staged from the photo collection on the Dustin Inman Society website ("1000 words" page). The one of Terry being checked out by Angry-Jerry-with-ties-to a-SPLC-designated-hate-group Gonzalez of the tribalist, anti-enforcement GALEO always cracked us up too.
This just in! Progressive Kevin Foley has finally acknowledged that despite his repeated proclamations that this writer was inaccurate on the matter, Obama's DREAM Act amnesty of June 15 was not an Executive Order.
He says the media made him get it wrong. (see Foley's latest entry on my latest MDJ column comments)Would somebody please tell Kevin Foley the message and topic in my column was that the Cobb BOC should protect jobs and American's Social Security numbers by using the IMAGE certification tool requirement for public contractors?
Somebody please tell Foley that the media seldom gets it right or complete on illegal immigration?
Foley even included part of an apology in his admission. But he couldn't help going on to give us further insight into the way his leftist mind functions. In the same comment in which he is admitting he simply accepted media reports even after being told multiple times that the reports were wrong, he feels compelled to insert this little gem: "I think silence in the face of the far right misinformation tsunami (see my MDJ column tomorrow) is antithetical to democracy, especially in Cobb where the MDJ is pretty much the only large public forum."
"Misinformation tsunami" indeed. What a case this guy is.
And while we are here, can somebody clue-in liberal Foley on the fact that the United States of America is not, never has been and was never intended to be a "Democracy?"
Foley assured us that he will do better on fact checking in the future. Then, being the arrogant sort, went on to warn me to "You should be sure you do the same." Yawn. Somebody please tell Foley he can read every newspaper column I have ever written over the last decade and that he is welcome to use the vast superior intellect he still believes he possesses to find inaccuracies in them?
Foley closes his admission and apology with "(I hope you and your followers note I didn't have to revert to sophomoric name-calling to make my point. Would you had that skill.)"
How rich. How hilarious.
Let's be clear: The first time someone pointed out Foley's existence was when he assured blog readers that he was an expert at public relations: "I have worked in public relations for most of my 35-year career. That's another way of saying I work with words. In my business, the right words can influence, motivate and even inspire. The wrong words can alienate, anger and hurt. When I work with clients, I always advise them to take the high road. Tell your audience what is right with your brand, not what's wrong with your competition's." This on his way to suggesting that I end any reference to illegal aliens by describing them as "illegal aliens." "So here's a bit of PR advice for Mr. King: Make your argument, sir, but please take the high road."
Over the last ten years, it was about the 100th time I had read this parroted variation on the constant ridiculous liberal effort to redefine the English language so as to redefine the fact that illegal aliens are illegal. And, while I seldom do, I said as much in a reply.
"Sophomoric name-calling?" "Take the high road?" Oy Vey.
Having spent far too much time reading Foley's past columns, blog entries and his ever-present comments on the same in the last couple of days, I see that Foley the arrogant liberal wasn't at all happy with my response to his call from the mountain-top to use ACLU/La Raza invented, PC terms and refer to illegal aliens as "undocumented workers."
While apparently incensed enough to go ahead and attack the Cobb community in general, Foley's high road, "motivational and inspiring" words in response to being rejected went like this: "He responded to my well-mannered suggestions with a smug, condescending justification of his brand of racial prejudice. Yes, Mr. King, it's racial. You can stop pretending now. Along with Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio, you've simply found a way to camouflage your bias against Latinos and Hispanics by wrapping yourself in the American flag and crying "our laws are being broken!". And like a lot of demagogues you're even somewhat famous hereabouts, where it's not terribly difficult to find other bigoted bullies who'll line up with you. Haven't we seen this movie before? It used to be "uppity Negros" who "didn't know their place" in the old Jim Crow era; burning Freedom Rider buses, poll taxes, and Bull Connor's attack dogs. Now it's undocumented workers, most of whom find themselves employed and often exploited by American business owners, doing the dirty jobs none of us want to do: Cleaning toilets, washing dishes, gutting chickens, digging holes. And D.A. King adds to their misery."
Got that folks? You can read the entire MDJ blog from angry Kevin Foley.
Golly, how surprising. A pro-amnesty, liberal empty-suit who anxiously believes what the liberal media tells him – and doesn't tell him - on illegal immigration and illegal employment spewing "racist" at anyone who demands that immigration laws be enforced. How unusual, ehh? See what I mean by argument-free, mindless liberal race-baiter?
I will happily pass Foley's hateful name-calling on to the members of the Board of Advisors of the Dustin Inman Society. Including the proud Latino and Black American members.
Progressive Kevin Foley should get accustomed to retractions, corrections and apologies. And we aren't nearly finished with this pompous wanna-be yet.
Readers should make it a point to read Kevin Foley and from here at El Rancho King, a large "thank you" to the newspaper for educating its readers on just what a liberal really is.
Should I count this as a badge of honor or just plain creepy? Kevin Foley seems to be fixated on… me. Too bad it's not on those pesky facts. Progressive Foley also seems to be a great legend in his own mind. Count me among the group who thinks his giant self-image is massively overly positive.
At the urging of several readers, I just spent some time reading some of the comments posted below my columns and blogs here at the MDJ for the last several months. Not something I normally have taken the time to do in the past.
Holy cow! It seems that Politics Progressive Kevin Foley has spent considerable time reading my stuff and posting (and posting, and posting and posting…) on the comments section. He even posts on his own blogs and columns! Don't get me wrong, this is a good thing, as exposing the ego, mindset and agenda of mindless, knee-jerk, race-baiting liberals is always educational for people who haven't been dealing with them directly and daily for more than a decade.
But Kevin Foley seems quite determined to make himself a glaring parody of the above.
Many friends, including members of the Board of Advisors of the Dustin Inman Society, a Georgia-based pro-enforcement immigration group I struggle to run, have made it clear they regard Foley as "a gnat unworthy of swatting." But it is clear that this character wants some attention. We have decided to grant his wish.
Time permitting; what Kevin Foley writes for the MDJ will now be an occasional focus of this writer. Let's call it "Foley's Fantasy Follies Watch."
That said, for today, out of many possibilities, let's just focus on a situation to illustrate the wit and wisdom of Kevin Foley that Foley has created entirely by himself, using his arrogance and lack of research or knowledge of topics on which he pontificates.
That being presidential "Executive Orders", what they are, and whether Ruler Obama has indeed used an EO in his DREAM Act amnesty announcement of June 15, 2012.
He hasn't. And I wrote as much in an educational addition to a column ('Cobb BOC not using federal IMAGE tool to protect jobs', MDJ, July 2, 2012) that ran in the MDJ this week.
The quote from my column on which Foley has volunteered his uneducated but stern opinion: "…Obama made an announcement (it was not an Executive Order) from the White House Rose Garden that he had instructed his DHS Chief, Janet Napolitano, to "temporarily" defer enforcement action on yet another group of illegal aliens who say they were brought here as children and who claim to be less than 31 years old. With raging unemployment, "Dear Ruler" also plans on issuing them work permits."
Kevin Foley has felt compelled to post several amusing derisive comments below the online version of my column with his typical uninformed bombastic ignorance. One of them goes like this:
Kevin Foley - Not an executive order? Of course it was: In a Rose Garden address Friday afternoon, President Barack Obama said the changes caused by his executive order will make immigration policy "more fair, more efficient and more just."
Don't let the facts get in your way, Mr. King.
I Googled the above "evidence" Foley used. It came from CNN.
It is true that many news agencies have reported that Obama's DREAM Act amnesty was created by Executive Order and then retracted; from the LA Times on June 17, 2012:
A previous version of the headline referred to a change in the Obama administration's deportation enforcement policy as an executive order. In fact, the policy change came as a directive from the Secretary of Homeland Security. Somebody send this to Kevin Foley?
It is also true that many in the liberal anti-enforcement media get their "facts" right and accurate sometimes. Also true that most liberals only to hear a murmur of something in the press that they desperately want to be true to take the "almost fact" and expand it, then present their latest piece of misinformation based on that falsehood. Hello Kevin Foley.
Wikipedia has some basic information on Executive Orders for beginners ( hello Kevin Foley): "Until the early 1900s, executive orders went mostly unannounced and undocumented, seen only by the agencies to which they were directed. However, the Department of State instituted a numbering scheme for executive orders in 1907, starting retroactively with an order issued on October 20, 1862, by President Abraham Lincoln. The documents that later came to be known as "Executive Orders" probably gained their name from this document, captioned "Executive Order Establishing a Provisional Court in Louisiana."
Someone ask Foley to cite the number of Obama's supposed EO on DREAM Act amnesty? Please?
Note that the White House keeps a (long) list of Executive Orders made by Obama and that the DREAM Act amnesty is not on it. Because Obama simply told his Homeland Security puppet not to enforce American immigration law for yet another group of illegal aliens and then announced the pandering policy from the White House Rose Garden. Don't let the facts get in your way, Foley.
It is even more amusing that when challenged by a reader, Foley repeats his snarling contention with a quote from yet another news agency that gets it wrong. Conclusion? Make your own, but I suggest Foley takes the sage advice from writers through time "write about what you know."
A practice which would limit him to parroting the "facts" he is able to glean from scanning liberal media headlines and quoting the far left bloggers and "foundations" that depend on people like him to spread the misinformation on which they exist.
Prediction: Kevin Foley will never admit he was wrong. And I will never get back the hour of my life it has taken to type this up.
But it had to be done.
More to come…
(Note: It's a hard one, but forced to select just one word to describe far left anti-enforcement liberal mouthpieces, I would choose "arrogant." "Uninformed" was a close second. I welcome your own one word description in the comments section below…)
"UPDATE: July 3, 2012 9:15 AM
For readers who want to learn more about the federal IMAGE certification program, you can see the official website. Also, there is a bonus argument for expanding IMAGE certification to include the requirement that Cobb contractors are certified. Local anti-enforcement entertainer Rich Pellegrino is firmly against it. Which doesn't mean that he understands it. See a recent and relevant MDJ news story on that fact. Maybe Rich can convince someone (else) to go on a hunger strike to back up his opposition…"

You read it here first…
Notes from 6/18/12 DHS conference call on Secretary's illegal alien prosecutorial discretion memo (Obama's DREAM Act amnesty announced on June 15, 2012)
Below are notes taken from a Department of Homeland Security conference call this week between administration officials and what the Obama administration regards as "stakeholders" (the people who demand amnesty, or else...) in his implementation of his amnesty for illegal aliens – "prosecutorial discretion" for an entire group of illegals. Note that there doesn't seem to have been much thought or planning put into his decree.
Much of this is rather technical for people who don't study the issue every day, but worth reading, using and saving in the interest of education. And, no, I won't say how I obtained these notes, except that they are taken directly from the conference call. Please make particular note of the points I have in bold below. Update: Also, HERE is a link to a letter to Obama from a group of U.S. Senators, including Senator Johnny Isakson and Senator Saxby Chambliss HERE is a link to a letter sent by members of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee dak
The call featured USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas, ICE Director John Morton and Acting CBP Commissioner David Aguilar.
AM: USCIS hasn't determined: how to collect eligibility information, who will adjudicate the requests and how quickly they will be handled.
Not accepting requests now for deferred action (DA). Will start 60 days from June 15th, the day of the Secretary's announcement.
Discussed eligibility criteria for DA. Will accept whatever documents an applicant provides but anticipate documents related to school, employment records, financial records and items proving physical presence.
Have to separately apply for a work authorization.
If given DA, a person will not accrue unlawful presence time during the two-year period.
Will take action if people misrepresent information. If someone is denied DA, won't automatically place in removal proceedings but can do so consistent with the Notice To Appear process. No appeal process for denials.
Dependents and immediate relatives do not automatically get DA - have to apply independently.
Haven't decided if DA recipient can travel outside of US
JM: ICE with work with CBP to ensure qualifying people are not removed, or placed in removal proceedings, if they meet case-by-case criteria. If someone is already in the removal process, they will be taken out of that process on a case-by-case basis and referred to USCIS. Have already started a review of persons in Executive Office of Immigration Review proceedings. They have been granted administrative closure and will now be granted DA.
DA: Mostly have contact with applicable individuals at ports of entry or on the border. Will interview people who may qualify and detain to determine eligibility with regard to biometrics. They'll run a biographic and biometric background check against federal/state/local databases. Upon establishing prima facie eligibility, the person will released and the DA processing will follow.
Encountered 11 individuals over the weekend. Reviewed their eligibility, released them and directed them to report to USCIS. Issue raised whether people eligible for removal proceeding should place themselves in the hands of ICE or CBP. They do not recommend this. Wait and apply through the USCIS.
Q: If someone is denied DA and just overstayed a visa, will the person not be placed in the removal proceedings?
A (AM): Answer governed by the Notice To Appear process. Under these circumstances, the removal referral would not be made.
Q: When program over, will the names be used for removal proceedings?
A (AM): There is no intention at this point of dismantling the prosecutorial discretion architecture that was built over the last year. ( Note from D.A. for info on this. Obama did something similar last year, but the GOP had very little to say about it)
Q: If someone applies for DA, would family members be at greater risk for a Notice To Appear?
A (AM): No, the others would have to qualify for a Notice To Appear under our prosecutorial discretion policy based on their own conduct.
Q: What kinds of convictions would cause a denial?
A (JM): Assaults, drug trafficking, DUI.
Q: How many hours in college must a person have?
A (AM): The criteria just speak about being in school. We'll provide more clarification later.
Q: As an immigration attorney. I appreciate the way you're doing this. It's kind of like Temporary Protected Status or a cross between a class review and a case-by-case review. There's nothing to stop one of the agencies from granting DA and work authorization to someone who is 31 1/4. You're saying don't apply if you don't fit, even though you could all along.
A (AM): This is not like TPS, it's an exercise of prosecutorial discretion that's based on the information that individuals present.
Q: Will there be a form and a fee?
A (AM): We don't know yet.
Q: Different states have different definitions of misdemeanor. In California, it's only a misdemeanor to be caught driving without a license. What definitions will you use?
A (JM): We'll use federal and state definitions of misdemeanors.
Just how bad is Obama's vote buying scandal with his disregard for that pesky constitution and the Congress of the United States - and existing immigration law - in his shameless pandering move to suspend enforcement for a large group of illegal aliens?
It's so bad that even John McCain has condemned it.
From The Hill-
McCain: Obama 'dictating' immigration policy
GOP Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) blasted President Obama's decision to halt the deportation of some young illegal immigrants, saying it was an overreach of the chief executive's powers and called it an attempt to "distract" voters from the economy.
"The thing that may disturb people after the initial euphoria is over about this is that the President of the United States is now dictating that certain laws will not be enforced," said McCain Sunday on Meet the Press.
"That is a rather serious step. It's one thing to say you're not going to challenge a law in court, or something like that. But, I don't recall a time when any president has basically said, we're not going to enforce a law that's on the books," he added…
That's how bad it is. More here with video.

Declassification board 'agitates' for changes to document management
Monday - 12/10/2012, 5:30am EST
Jason Miller, executive editor, Federal News Radio
The petabytes of data the government produces each year is crushing the system that is supposed to evaluate it for public release.
The data deluge and declassification challenge is so great that a board of experts has recommended to the White House several radical changes to how agencies deal with documents.
"If you look at the amount of documents that are produced, simply the difference between the first George Bush administration and the second administration, it's gone from less than two terabytes to about 40 [terabytes] in the space of three presidential archives that have gone to the various libraries," said Nancy Soderberg, the chairwoman of the Public Interest Declassification Board and former deputy national security advisor, in an interview with Federal News Radio. "Right now having an individual look at every page simply is not feasible. The result is if there is no change, the public will not have access to what its government does in any meaningful way."
Nancy Soderberg, chairwoman, Public Interest Declassification Board
The board sent its recommendations to President Barack Obama Nov. 27 after almost three years of research and consultation with federal agencies, such as the departments of Defense, State and Energy, open government advocates, academics, technology companies and many others.
No changes for seven decades
The current three-tiered system requires agencies to first decide if they need to be classified, and then at which of three levels-confidential, secret or top secret.
The board said that system is broken because it's based on Cold War era processes and hasn't kept up with the technology advances of the last 72 years.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the current system by executive order in 1940 during a time when all documents were paper and the volume of documents wasn't nearly as great as it is today.
For example, in the eight years of the Bush administration, from 2000 to 2008, the government created about 250 million emails that are considered historically valuable. During the eight years of the Obama administration, experts expect more than a billion emails to have historical value. The board said there is no way under the current system for agency records managers to review, analyze and classify or declassify all of those documents.
The other issue at hand is the over-classification of documents because of the risk averse culture of the government, and the amount of time it takes to declassify. The recommendations also focus on how to improve the declassification process.
The recommendations are broad and address everything from moving out of the three-tiered classification system to a two-tiered process to strengthening the National Archives and Records Administration's National Declassification Center to giving federal employees "safe harbor" protection if they adhere to a rigorous risk management process in how they perform their classification duties.
"What we are looking at is the confidential and secret being collapsed into one," Soderberg said. "The unclassified various things we are not recommending that we really change. The declassification piece is how do we declassify things?"
New rule coming for CUI
A separate working group is looking at unclassified data. John Fitzpatrick, the director of the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) at NARA, said the interagency committee will release a proposed rule in early 2013 to rationalize the number and use of unclassified labels such as sensitive but unclassified (SBU) or for official use only (FOUO).
John Fitzpatrick, director, Information Security Oversight Office, NARA
Fitzpatrick said the board's recommendations and the harmonization and reduction of unclassified labels are separate efforts but related.
Soderberg said the goal of the board's efforts is to reduce the classification to secret and top secret, but also take steps to get information to the public more quickly.
One of the ways to get declassification done more quickly is to make sure each agency has a staff historian to review documents.
"Not everything has to be declassified or is of interest to the public," Soderberg said. "But rather than having historians search for a needle in the haystack, a contemporaneous set-aside of the documents that people recognize will be of historical interest would greatly aid the process of getting things out there."
The board said technology needs to play a big role in changing the classification and declassification system.
She said the board recommended pilots, possibly with some of the presidential libraries.
"There's a trove of treasurers at each of them," she said. "The public uses those libraries and they are one of the more dynamic institutions in the country. We want to look at ways we could assist them to have a broader declassification process."
A few best practices
Soderberg said the entire effort to revamp the classified records management process needs to be led by the White House.
"What we are hoping will happen after this is the White House will take and lead an interagency process to create a White House steering committee that would take these recommendations to heart, design their own implementing recommendations and then really from the White House drive a process here," Soderberg said. "There's a lot of really good work that's gone into it and a lot of discussions. We don't expect everyone to agree with the recommendations. Part of the role of an outside board is to try and spur heated discussion and drive it within the White House."
She added the White House and agency records managers have been involved with the development so they are familiar with the suggestions, which bodes well for the implementation of some of them.
There also are several agencies which are ahead of the pack in managing classified documents, the CIA being one of them.
Marty Faga, former director, National Reconnaissance Office
Marty Faga, a member of the board and former director of the National Reconnaissance Office, said the CIA is using meta data to identify information more easily.
"The CIA is experimenting with technology to enhance declassification, make it more accurate and to make it faster," Faga said. "They are not alone. All the declassification managers that we meet are really enthusiastic about what they are trying to do. They all have limited funds, but they generally have pretty good executive support above them."
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (I-ARPA) also is using technology innovatively for advanced language processing and other information handling techniques, Fitzpatrick said.
He said the same technology could be used for classifying and declassifying information more quickly and through automation.
Support for recommendations broad
The board said the key for this entire effort is White House support because it requires a significant shift in culture across the government.
"The government by its very nature is risk averse and when in doubt classify at the higher level. They end up protecting their own interest, which is to keep the information classified, and there are very few people inside the U.S. government advocating for the public's right to access this," Soderberg said. "That's why you need strong presidential leadership to do this. President Obama has appointed this board knowing that you [use] outside agitators to look at this. The board is made up of people who are very committed to balancing the two. We've all served in government in some fashion and have dealt with classified information, and understand the need to have secrets, but we're all convinced there could be better balance for the public."
Reaction to the recommendations has been positive. One records manager from the Air Force spoke up at the board's event Thursday at NARA and expressed some concerns over the changes, specifically around the idea of records versus documents. He said there are a lot of redundancies in records, but the new classification of documents are actually fairly small.
The Constitution Project was one of several open government advocates at the event to express support the recommendations. They said there is some concern about the support to move out of the zero risk culture, the idea that all risk is too much risk so the government should classify everything.

Oakland Police Radios Failed During Obama's Visit To City
Originally published on Thu July 26, 2012 11:48 am
"A major portion of Oakland's troubled police radio system failed shortly after President Obama's visit on Monday, leaving many of the 100 officers assigned to handle presidential security unable to communicate as protesters roamed the streets, police said Wednesday," the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
"It was a train wreck," Lt. Fred Mestas, who was on duty at the time, told the newspaper. The problems lasted about 30 minutes, he said. But, "when you have the president there, 30 seconds is too long."
The system was having problems both before, during and after the president's appearance at a fundraiser inside the city's Fox Theater, according to the Chronicle.
The Chronicle has previously reported about the "dead zones" that plague the Oakland police radio system, which cost $18 million and went into operation just last year. The failure of a cooling unit on a transmission tower is being blamed for Monday's problems.

i might go on the weekend but it depends if I got some one who wants to roll up there with me . My wifes got things going on at her work so she wouldnt be able to go.
I just got the new Transworld issue and there's a quick pro new york booklet in there. It's pretty cool, but there's gotta be like 5 pictures of Balaram in there, seems like they are really pushing him as the NY surf poster boy. Hopefully he does well but if they are really putting the weight of NY on his back I can see the pressure getting to him. Hopefully the east coast boys do well though...
On a side note, Chopes is going off for the Billabong Pro!
Man,Could be some great timing with Katia.

"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
We are searching for a qualified candidate to serve as Content Editor, beginning August 1.
Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.

NORMAN - The Centers for Disease Control estimates that more than 20 million Americans have diabetes — six million of whom are unaware they have the disease. Alarmingly, more than 50 percent of diabetes patients are not in control of the disease.
At 6 pm on September 15 patient Stephan Ellis will be sharing his personal experience with living with diabetes during Norman Regional Health System's September diabetes support group meeting. The meeting will take place in the hospital's Education Center located at 901 North Porter in Norman.
Stephan is a member of the sanofi-aventis A1C Champions Program®, which is a patient-led approach to diabetes education. A1C Champions® know first-hand the challenges and obstacles to maintaining control of their diabetes. They share diabetes self-management and lifestyle strategies based on extensive training and their personal experience with diabetes.
Stephan will talk about topics including:
If you or someone you know is struggling with diabetes the A1C Champions® can provide motivation to take those first steps to a healthier life. Diabetes patients need to know they are not alone and there are people like Stephan who can help them along their journey with diabetes.
Registration for the group meeting is not needed. One-on-one interviews and photo opportunities are available with Stephan Ellis.

Ideally, labor begins naturally. Sometimes, though, induced labor can be the answer to your prayers. You might be one to two weeks past your due date, or the baby might have stopped growing as expected. Perhaps you have high blood pressure. The decision to induce labor usually comes down to the fact that you or the baby will be better off if the baby is on the outside.
If your cervix is firm, the induction might start with a process called ripening. You might be given oral medication to help your cervix prepare for labor, or your health care provider might place medication in your vagina. In other cases, a device — such as a catheter — might be placed in your vagina to soften your cervix. If your cervix has already begun to prepare for labor, ripening might not be needed.
The next phase of induced labor is intravenous medication — usually oxytocin (Pitocin) — to jump-start your contractions. The medication is delivered through a pump at a specific rate and amount. Over time, the dose is increased until your contractions are regular, frequent and causing changes in your cervix.
Induced labor is meant to mimic naturally occurring labor as much as possible. Expect contractions to start slowly, gradually gaining intensity and frequency. Those first hours of induction might be somewhat boring, as the medication forces your body to do something it wasn't ready to do on its own. You might watch a few movies, knit a baby blanket, or visit with friends and family. Once the contractions become frequent and more painful, you might need to turn all of your attention to working with the contractions.
Inducing labor isn't without risks and shouldn't be taken lightly. If your body isn't ready for labor, the benefits of induction must clearly outweigh the risks. Discuss it with your health care provider and work together to make an informed decision. Don't hesitate to ask questions — and continue asking until you're sure you understand the situation and you're comfortable with the decisions being made.

Elizabeth, your pregnancy is not the usual pregnancy is it? It sounds like you have had a very difficult time of it. Your situation is unique. An infection or blood clot can be very dangerous to you and your baby. Keep asking questions until you are comfortable with the plan and feel it is best for you and the baby.
I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my third baby and have had a bit of a rough pregnancy. I have a picc line to receive nausea medication as well as reflux meds and fluids. I've needed the picc line since my first trimester, but have had complications (migration, infection, superficial blood clot). I recently had a five day stay in the hospital due to a staph infection and my second superficial blood clot. Fortunately the infection remained localized, but called for four weeks of IV antibiotics. My doctors have been monitoring this pregnancy closely and the baby has appeared to be doing well despite my issues. My doctors are recommending an amnio at 37 weeks and delivery shortly after if the lungs appear to be matured, but recent info on the mayo clinic site has me concerned about delivering before 39 weeks because of possible brain immaturity. I know my doctors are concerned about me having further complications, but I'm also concerned about my baby's brain development based on recent findings. Where is the greater risk? Delivering before 39 weeks or delaying delivery and risking another infection or picc line complication? If you have any additional material that might help to inform me even more, I would greatly appreciate it.
Seems like most people I know who are induced, end up having c-sections. This includes myself. Nurses I have talked to seem to agree. Wonder what the statistics are on this?
I'm 41 weeks and 3 days, and I'm 2 cm dilated, 30% effaced, with a soft cervix. My only other child was induced at 41 w 5 d with a completely unfavorable cervix, and ended up a successful vaginal delivery with epidural. All testing shows healthy baby with lots of fluid (@ 17 a few days ago). Should I wait until 42 weeks or go ahead now with induction? I'm inclined to wait, but wonder if it's pointless anyway given my history.

Many organizations are already using a combination of in-house computing resources and public cloud services such as Salesforce.com, Hosted Exchange and AWS.
This mix of services will gradually evolve to true hybrid IT, where a single application or service leverages both internal and external IT resources.
In this executive white paper, you'll learn what the experts are saying about the benefits and best practices for moving to this hybrid environment in 5 steps:
- Create a plan to move from virtualization to private cloud – and then to hybrid cloud.
- Eliminate silos and shape the IT organization of the future.
- Enable agility and innovation by automating IT processes with software-defined infrastructure.
- Achieve and prove compliance, both with internal policies and external regulations.
- Ensure high application available and performance. Period.

Long night ends on M. Young's walk-off hit in 13th
Lannan, Mayberry, Brown play important roles as Phils outlast Sox
PHILADELPHIA -- An incredibly long day at Citizens Bank Park mercifully ended 40 minutes after midnight Sunday thanks to a bullet to right field from Michael Young and a nice slide at home plate from Jimmy Rollins.
The Phillies beat the White Sox, 2-1, in 13 innings in Game 2 of a day-night doubleheader to salvage a split and give themselves a chance to enter the All-Star break with a .500 record with a victory in Sunday's series finale.
"I think we were all pretty exhausted," Young said. "It was a long day, but at this point, obviously we need wins any way we can get them. So it was important to get the second one. I started seeing stuff out there after a while. I was getting pretty dizzy out there, but I'm happy to get that win any way we can get it."
The day-long recap looked like this:
The Phillies lost Game 1 in 11 innings, 5-4. It lasted 3 hours, 53 minutes, and included a 41-minute rain delay. The Phillies had several excellent opportunities to win the game, but went 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position.
They won Game 2, which also lasted 3:53.
Rollins stood on second base with two outs in the 13th when Young laced a single to right field. It was just the Phillies' fifth hit of the game, and there was no way in the world third-base coach Ryne Sandberg planned on holding Rollins.
"He was coming all the way," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.
White Sox right fielder Casper Wells made a strong throw to the plate, but Rollins made a nice head-first slide to beat the tag from catcher Tyler Flowers.
Asked to rate the difficulty of the slide, Rollins said, "Two."
On what scale?
"Ten," he said.
Easy, difficult, whatever, the game was over and everybody could head home for a quick nap before the teams conclude the series with a 1:35 p.m. ET game Sunday.
The White Sox took a 1-0 lead in the fifth. Blake Tekotte hit a leadoff double to left-center field and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt. He scored on an error when Phillies left-hander John Lannan could not catch a ball hit up the middle.
Philadelphia's offense barely made a peep through 6 2/3 innings, picking up just two hits in that span. But then John Mayberry Jr. hit a first-pitch curveball against White Sox left-hander Hector Santiago into the first row of seats in left field for a solo home run to make it 1-1.
It was Mayberry's seventh homer of the season.
"I just wanted that one pitch back," Santiago said. "But other than that, I feel like everything was good. All my pitches were working. It was a good night all around."
Mayberry would not have been hitting there, except center fielder Ben Revere broke his right foot in the 11th inning in the Game 1 loss. But Mayberry should get a significant bump in playing time with Revere headed to the disabled list.
Lannan pitched splendidly in his second consecutive start. He allowed just four hits, one run, one walk and struck out three in eight innings. He has lowered his ERA from 5.15 to 3.76 in his previous two starts, which included a big effort Monday in a series-opening victory over the Nationals.
The bullpens kept things quiet, with Phillies left fielder Domonic Brown keeping the game going when he threw out Jeff Keppinger at the plate in the 11th inning.
"His arm plays big in left field," Manuel said. "Tremendous throw."
Now the Phillies just need to win Sunday.
"What do we have? Forty-seven wins?" Manuel said. "We can have 48 wins. We need to get over the mid-80s."

Two Baker County men, one of them a repeat convicted felon, face multiple charges after two previously unreported arrests in late October.
• Enoch Nathaniel Fraser III, 25, of Macclenny was taken into custody following a set-up purchase by a confidential source working for the sheriff's department the evening of October 28.
The source arranged to purchase from Mr. Fraser three shotguns the suspect allegedly stole earlier. Officers then converged on his Milton St. address in the east city where they recovered three shotguns, 14 knives and a .22 caliber rifle. Read More »

'Choose Baker' is launched
A county-wide economic development initiative known as Choose Baker and touted as the path to more than 1300 new jobs and millions of dollars of growth locally kicked off last month following a year of planning and research.
The effort — led by the Baker County Chamber of Commerce, Baker County Development Commission and Choose Baker campaign director Shane Adams — is still raising capital from business and government agencies in the community, partly by presenting the details of its plan to enrich the county's economy.
The plan entails creating a full-time position dedicated to wooing businesses to locate here and helping existing businesses expand. Beyond that, the plan calls for establishing a "new" Chamber of Commerce to serve as the hub of economic activity and tourism in Baker County. Read More »
Got bogus AT&T phone calls
A Macclenny man called the sheriff's department after receiving two suspicious telephone calls on successive days last week, ostensively from a phone company.
Kevin Shell told Deputy John Minkel the first call came about 3 pm on November 7 and the person indicated she was from AT&T with questions about his level of service.
Mr. Shell described her as speaking with a pronounced accent, possibly Filipino or Indian, and when he asked her if she was from the fictitious "Asian Tech and Telephone" she replied in the affirmative. He asked for her supervisor and she hung up.
The next evening about 3:30, Mr. Shell said he received a second call from a female who said his AT&T service would be cancelled if he failed to reveal the routing and account numbers of his checking account. Read More »
Television stolen from residence near Cuyler
A rear door may have been used as the point of entry at the residence of Joseph Starling on Tommy Rd. near Cuyler, where a television was stolen some time during a two-day period ending November 7.
Mr. Starling, who is in the process of moving into the residence, told Deputy Daryl Mobley he left the address the evening of November 5 and returned to find the $400 set missing. There was no apparent point of entry, but a dead bolt on the rear door may have been tampered with. Read More »
