RE: David Brundage
Yes, those cemeteries are listed on here. The Secretary of State's office has a fairly complete set of prison records, unfortunately it's not on-line. Those might contain the final disposition of the body.
The snag with Old City and Woodland cemeteries is that they were both privately owned, although the City eventually took them over. There are no known burial records for either except for a survey which was done in 1976 by the DAR. Those records only recorded graves with visible markers. So there are quite a few known burials (from death certificates) in both, but you have no way of knowing where they are actually buried.
If you know he was buried in Jefferson City then your only other "choices" would be St. Peters Cemetery I or St. Peters II if he was Catholic. SP I is pretty much gone. The land was unstable and most of the graves washed down into the Missouri River. I have a transcript for SP II and can check that if you think he might be there. Then there were several smaller cemeteries which were relocated due to highway construction. They were moved to Riverview Cemetery. If you'd like to check with them, their phone number is (573) 636-6713, but that would be a long shot. But that would be about it given the time frame listed.

RE: David Brundage
If he died at MSP he wouldn't be in JC National or he'd be recorded as being there. The records are quite complete. Even "unknowns" are fully listed.
He's probably buried in an unmarked paupers grave in either Woodland or Old City. That's where MSP prisoners were buried back then.
In either case, if he's not listed then there is no marker to photograph.

She's not part of my family tree, but curiosity led me to ancestry.com to check. Looks like she was the daughter of James W. Yost (1829-1900) and Anna Weaver (1834-1863) and was married to James L. Popejoy. I don't recall seeing any other Popejoy's in the cemetery, but there were lots of Yosts.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Actors are the eight-track tapes of the New Hollywood; they had a good run, but the industry no longer seems to need a pulse. With Shrek and the oncoming Final Fantasy, George Lucas's technocratic scheme to outmode human performers sees its first volleys fired. Will audiences buy this weirdness? Shrek is not in essence a cartoonit's an Umberto Eco-style hypercinema, stuck between being drawn and being photographed as Disney's Celebration U.S.A. is stuck between life and entertainment. Spectacle this islike a Grucci blastoff, impressive for having been manufacturedbut Shrek is at the same time witheringly cynical. Desperately avoiding the risk of even a half-second of boredom, the movie is wall-to-window-to-door noise, babbling, and jokes (the first minute sees the first fart gag), and demographically it's a hard-sell shotgun spray.
Producer-DreamWorks honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg has made the movie something of a personal statement. If DreamWorks is his market revenge upon Michael Eisner for not forking over $580 million in shared profits (after he had already doled out a $100 million parting gift), then Shrek is Katzenberg's most juvenile affront. The hair-trigger Disney lawyers are dared to man the ramparts at every turn: Ethnically persecuted "fairy-tale creatures" (Pinocchio, Peter Pan, the three tri-colored Sleeping Beauty pixies, etc.) are rounded up by evil supremacist Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) like European Jews and sent off to "designated resettlement facilities," and though the character designs are generically non-Disney, the gags are spiteful. Farquaad's sprawling kingdom is quite Magic all on its own, replete with roped-off waiting areas, turnstiles, souvenir shoppes, cheap Tudor facades, over-manicured town square ("It's very clean," somebody compliments the tyrannical lord), and staffers in giant character heads.
Juliet of the Spirits
Directed by Federico Fellini
Written by Fellini, Ennio Flaiano, Tullio Pinelli, and Brunello Rondi
May 18 through 31
Directed by Jerald Intrator
Written by Alan Bodian
Opens May 18
If these bons mots hit pay dirt, they're also a bit callow coming from Katzenberg. Ruefully, little is done with the Holocaust parallel outside of a torture session with the Gingerbread Man, who has the nerve to spit a sprinkle at Farquaad and squeak, "Eat me!" The interface with William Steig's modest, 32-page children's book is minimal, beyond the primary tribulations of the titular ogre (voiced by Mike Myers). Shrek is compelled to quest for the title-hungry Farquaad's princess bride only after the displaced fairy refugees are dumped on his property. A fearless, pea-green misanthrope in Tor Johnson's body, Shrek carries out a Bogart scenario, enduring his Walter Brennan-ish sidekick (a talking, corgi-shaped donkey named Donkey, spoken by Eddie Murphy) and rescuing the maiden (Cameron Diaz) while pretending to care only about himself.
Four screenwritersand 27 credited "additional dialogue" writers and "story artists"toiled here (Steig must be roaring), and the result is hyperactive cliché. Song interludes further distend the materialthough the inclusion of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," sung by John Cale, over a lost-love montage seems like a move that slipped by the marketing department. By and large, Murphy is the movie's only plugged-in source of amperage, and Donkey is drafted for maximum expressiveness. But Shrek is a lumpen cipher unleavened by Myers's indistinct delivery (trotting out again that soft Scottish burr), and Diaz's go-girl Fiona is, by mortal standards at least, an awful actress. CGI movies can limn the sunlight on butterfly wings all they want, but the characters had better hum.
As littered with arbitrary anachronisms as A Knight's Tale and as beholden to the WWF as The Mummy Returns, Shrek never broaches the miniaturist lyricism and snapping-rubber-band wit of the Pixar films, but it hardly tries. The driest irony is that for all of Katzenberg's potshotting, Shrek cannot shake the Disney paradigmmocking old movies and theme park absurdities doesn't mean DreamWorks can defy the most ubiquitous and powerful entertainment formula of the last 100 years.
Visual bedizenment taken to its own particular Euro-plateau, Federico Fellini's Juliet of the Spirits (1965) rocks, rolls, upchucks, and offers a spittle-flecked grin. Fellini's first film in color, and still so symptomatic of his style that it merges in the memory with his other films, Juliet is both a festooned grotesquerie and a film of its moment. Seesawing between monstrous faces and contrived vanishing points, decked out with polyester, lacquer, feather boas, green eye shadow, and ivory, shimmying to Nino Rota's self-amused, faux-jazzy xylophone scat, it's a movie as bad-taste time capsulewhich was surely part of the maestro's scheme. Few films get lost in their own excesses as this rococo orgy does, and few filmmakers muddle psychosocial critique and fashion lampoon as fecklessly as Fellini. Interpolated often enough with symbolic Fellini-isms and tableaux out of an Artaud theater piece, Juliet takes no prisoners among middlebrows primed for a little Significance with their freakshow tour.

VA Health Care:
VA Is Adopting Managed Care Practices to Better Manage Physician Resources
HEHS-97-87: Published: Jul 17, 1997. Publicly Released: Jul 17, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7111
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on what the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is doing to manage its physician resources as well as how health maintenance organizations (HMO) manage their physician resources.
GAO noted that: (1) VA is in the midst of making fundamental changes in its health care delivery system because of budgetary pressures and increasing competition in the health care industry; (2) many of these initiatives are affecting the entire VA health care delivery system; they will also affect how VA manages physician resources, including identifying the appropriate number and skill mix of physicians and monitoring productivity and quality of care provided; (3) these initiatives involve changes in physician practice patterns and in resource allocation to help ensure effectiveness and efficiency; (4) VA is changing physician monitoring by emphasizing standardized productivity and clinical care outcome measures, which are increasingly being used in the private sector to monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of physician performance; (5) in addition, further embracing private sector managed care practicers, VA is changing the way physicians practice by assigning veterans to a primary care physician, an approach that emphasizes continuity of care, prevention, and the early diagnosis of disease and allows VA to better attribute clinical care outcomes to specific provider performance; (6) VA expects to change physician practice patterns and improve service delivery efficiencies by distributing health care funding on the basis of workload rather than according to historic funding patterns, which perpetuated imbalances in funding, efficiency, and access to care throughout the VA health care system; (7) VA has not developed a staffing and resource allocation model that identifies optimal physician staffing levels or the skill mix of physicians needed to provide health care to eligible veterans, and no agreed-upon physician workload standards exist either in the private sector or at VA for most physician specialties, including primary care; (8) VA faces unique challenges in managing its physician resources; (9) it must balance multiple congressionally mandated missions, such as training health care professionals, that reduce physicians' clinical care productivity relative to that of physicians in private sector HMOs; (10) in addition, VA performance measurement and allocation systems are hampered by incomplete and inaccurate data; and (11) moreover, accurate estimates of workload, and essential element of resource allocation, are particularly challenging with a patient population that is sicker and older than the general population and that moves in and out of the VA health care system.

Just when you thought that the Outwell Vermont tents couldn't get any bigger or more spectacular, and then along comes the Outwell Vermont XLP. There are a number of major changes to previous models of this great tent. The inner tent features the latest chic, logo-embossed front with double piping to help conceal the zips. The inners also feature the new Night Sky Ceiling that darkens the inner tent to ensure a great night's sleep.
The Vermont XLP is the largest tent in Outwell's Premium Collection of tents with adequate sleeping space for 7 people along with a built-in wardrobe/storage area - which are becoming a must with the 'glamping' revolution. The rear bedroom area consists of a 2+3 universal inner tent (a section of which can be removed when not in use) with zipped divider curtain and a separate 2-berth inner (again, which can be remove when not in use). The inners are all breathable polyester with mesh pockets and feature the new wave shaped hanging system, embossed fronts and Night Sky ceilings.
Exit the bedrooms and find yourself in the large main living space measuring a massive 2.7m x 4.8m. Even with the wardrobe erected in this space, it still gives you plenty of room for additional camping furniture. There are two side doors off this space which gives you plenty of entrance options and enhanced airflow through the tent when both are opened. The bedroom area and the main living area feature a fully sewn-in groundsheet.
Exit the living space through the partition doorway and you will find yourself in the Panoramic Room. This space is similar dimensionally to the living space and so again will easily accommodate additional furniture, kitchen unit, bikes, kayaks, you name it. This area is called the Panoramic Room because of the multiple large windows which will afford you great views from your tent.
The panoramic front of the tent is a 4-zip multi-door opening that allows you to open up the entire front of the tent converting the room from an enclosed porch to a sun room. This area features a loose bathtub style groundsheet that you can easily remove to wash and air.
Both the living area and the panoramic room feature large, tinted, panoramic windows with zip-up privacy covers so that you can vary the exact level of light/privacy you want. There are mesh vents above each of the main windows for good ventilation.
The full features of the Outwell Vermont XLP include:
Technical Features:
|Pack Size
|78x40x42cm (Tent); 76x23cm (Poles)

Went to the range to try and zero my M4 and was told they don't allow 5.56mm to be shot in their range. The guy proceeded to give me some bullshit excuse that soldiers were bringing military ammo in shooting it. Last time I checked as a former 2311 Ammunition Specialist Technician in the Marine Corps and a Combat Marksmanship Instructor there was no difference between a military 5.56mm ball round and a civilian 5.56mm ball round. Also I'm 100 percent positive you can not just go to the Ammunition Supply Point and "check out" ammo. Don't see this business surviving long if they only allow pistols to be shot there.

Went in here to look at the handguns and was giving some of the best service even after i said i would not be buying anything that day. The guy who was helping me showed me any gun that i asked to see and even showed me some others that i might like. One of the few shops left that you can just go to look.

Went here to buy some ammo for my dad as everywhere in his town was sold out. Walked in and wasn't even greeted with a 'hi'. Had to walk around and look for someone. When I finally found someone they proceeded to argue with me over the type of ammo I needed. Apparently because I'm female I have no clue. Went so far as to call my dad on the phone to confirm the type of ammo he needed for his AR-15 only to have the employee tell me I was wrong again. They are extremely rude and I will NEVER set foot in there again.

Huey, Gonzales remain Davis Cup main cogs
THE US-BASED Davis Cup mainstays Treat Huey and Ruben Gonzales will head the national team that will try to regain Group 1 status in the Asia-Oceania zone starting next year.
Philta vice president Randy Villanueva announced yesterday that the two other slots will be contested by five players as the country prepares for the promotional tie against powerhouse New Zealand here this September.
The five PH hopefuls are Philippine National Games champion Marc Reyes, seven-time PCA titlist Johnny Arcilla, former Cupper Elbert Anasta, junior stalwart Jurence Zosimo Mendoza and US NCAA Division 1 star Francis Casey Alcantara.
Villanueva said the Philta board will announce the final lineup based on their performances in the next several weeks.
Huey is expected to make the main draw in the doubles of the Wimbledon next week with British partner Dominic Inglot. The Virginia native is ranked 28th in the world after reaching 24th the previous month.
Gonzales, hero of the country's conquest of Syria in the first round, dropped from 766th to 833rd in singles but gained in doubles with his highest ranking ever at 229.
He and Australian partner Chris Letcher reached the final of the Blois, France Challenger early this month, and made third round of the Milan Challenger this week.
Meanwhile, Filipino teen sensation Albert Lim Jr., was forced to retire in his singles quarterfinal match and then defaulted his doubles match Friday due to a bum stomach.
The 14-year-old Lim complained of stomach pains from a recent bout with diarrhea.

continued "We were hearing that people didn't think what was done was right or they were angry the moose had to be euthanized, but what was done was part of the protocol for our department," Durfey said. "We get involved when wildlife is impacting people, it's one of our department's responsibilities."
The protocol for handling the situation, like the one that unfolded in the Wilmington Notch, is outlined in the New York State Moose Response Manual. Dated April 1, 2011, the manual designates in the section titled "Moose in or near high traffic areas" the following protocol:
"For moose on a heavily used high-speed highway, shoulder, or median, control traffic by reducing vehicle speed or stopping traffic and alerting motorists. Use chasing/herding/hazing options to direct the moose toward more suitable areas. If the moose is in a situation that does not allow for these options, then it should be shot."
Likewise, in the "Sick or Injured Moose" section, the manual states the following protocol:
"If the moose is injured and it is determined that chances of survival are high, the moose should be left alone and monitored from a distance that does not affect natural behavior. If the moose is in a situation where it cannot be left alone or kept a safe distance from the public, it should be euthanized as soon as possible ... If the injury is severe enough to limit chances for survival, the moose should be euthanized as soon as possible."
Winchell said he understands the negative reaction and encourages anyone who feels that way to take a look at the outlined protocol for situations like this.
Shooting the moose was decided to be the most humane way to help the Wilmington moose, according to Durfey.
"(With) chemical immobilization, the moose would have been fully conscious but physically immobilized," Durfey said. "He would have been very uncomfortable, and there are currently no animal rehabilitation facilities that help an animal of that size."

I like wordpress. And, I'm sure lots of other people would too if they could see all the neat things you could do with it, and also if they could look at some of the many excellent blogs currently using it.
So, an idea could be, to feature a blog every month/week/whenever. I think it might persuade some people who are a bit iffy about using wordpress how great it really is.
It would also be good for gaining visibility for both wordpress and its users.
Just a thought. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

Colton Yellow Horn plays for the Ontario Reign in the ECHL, and he probably just had the shootout goal of the year. And with the NHL lockout still going strong, hockey fans are thankful for him.The spin-o-rama has gotten pretty basic in the NHL shootouts, but adding the twist of pulling the puck between his legs beforehand is simply outstanding. The goal ended up being the winning goal in the shootout, and gave the Reign a victory over the San Francisco Bulls.What did the Bulls goalie, Thomas Heemskerk, have to say about the goal you ask?He told SFbay.ca this, "The ESPN highlight reel. I just remember [Yellow Horn] kind of pushed it blocker side and next thing I knew, I was behind the play and he was going the other way. I couldn't catch up."H/T: Puck Daddy Blog

Ebola milestone for local researchers
Calling it a "miraculous day," an American doctor left his hospital isolation unit Thursday — marking his recovery from Ebola after becoming infected with the virus in Liberia, receiving an experimental serum developed in San Diego and being flown back to the United States for meticulous care.
Dr. Kent Brantly and his fellow medical missionary Nancy Writebol, who was quietly discharged two days earlier, are still weak but should recover completely, said Dr. Bruce Ribner, who runs the infectious disease unit where they were treated — Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
No one should fear being in contact with them, Ribner added.
Brantly's reappearance was festive and celebratory, a stark contrast to his arrival in an ambulance under police escort three weeks earlier, when he shuffled into the hospital wearing a bulky hazardous materials suit.
"I am thrilled to be alive, to be well and to be reunited with my family," Brantly said, choking up as he read a statement during a news conference. Then he and his wife turned toward a parade of physicians and nurses, hugging or shaking hands with each one.
Celebration was not limited to Atlanta.
In San Diego, researchers who worked with Mapp Biopharmaceutical of Sorrento Mesa to create the ZMapp drug that was given to Brantly and Writebol closely followed the news of their discharge.
Erica Ollmann Saphire, a structural biologist at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, hailed the milestone.
"To see Dr. Kent Brantly walk into the hospital under his own power, instead of on a stretcher, three weeks ago was amazing enough. Now to see them discharged and going home, it's the reason we do anything we do," said Ollmann Saphire, who helped to map the structure of the antibodies used in ZMapp.
"The only reason we've worked on this for a decade is to make sure people like Brantly and Writebol can go home," she added.
Fellow Scripps Research scientist Andrew Ward, whose lab also produced images that helped Mapp Biopharmaceutical develop its serum, said the two aid workers' recovery is a special kind of validation — even if it's still unclear whether the serum provided the crucial key to their survival against Ebola.
"It really gives you hope that what you're doing in the lab every day, which is very far away from humans, may actually make an impact," Ward said.
After Brantly, 33, and Writebol, 59, were infected while working with Ebola victims in Liberia, their host charities, Samaritan's Purse and SIM, reached out to top infectious disease experts for help.
They obtained some of Mapp Biopharmaceutical's extremely limited supply of the serum, then administered it to Brantly and Writebol before they were evacuated to Atlanta. The remaining vials of ZMapp were later given to a Spanish priest, who died, and three doctors in Africa, who have been improving.
Writebol is able to move around, eat and drink normally. "It is better than what she expected," said her son, Jeremy Writebol of Wichita, Kan., adding that his parents are considering their next steps.

Who has taken an extended work-break to focus on tennis?

Join Date: Feb 2012

I have been in the position, but for 2½ years, as a travelling spouse. My wife and I moved to Malaysia for her career, and I went from full-time graphic designer to part-time, then casual/freelance over about 6 months. In the end I was working maybe 10 hours per week on average which led me to pick up tennis. In our situation I was incredibly lucky to not
to work as life in Kuala Lumpur is cheap. And we have no kids.
Before moving to Malaysia, I'd literally played maybe 50 hours of tennis in my life, without any lessons/training/instruction. With my free time in Malaysia I picked up tennis "seriously", and played ~810 hours per week for the last 1½ years, and took 2x 2hr lessons pretty much each week for about 9 months (so cheap!)
I'm semi-fit but a bit overweight, and went from level whatever-you-are-when-you-start to current strongish 3.5 (with keeping about 6hrs per week tennis since moving to the US 6 months ago.)
End life story.
My conclusion: I can't explain how much I love the game of tennis now. It has enriched my life significantly, and I look forward to each upcoming session. I owe that all to the time I had learning and becoming obsessed with Tennis. But I went from a complete novice to ~3.25 in my sabbatical time, and I suspect that was much easier, and a much bigger and more enjoyable improvement than going from 4.0 to 5.0. In saying that, I'm still 100% hungry to improve to the next level. I'm not reaching for a specific ranking, I just want to improve myself and play challenging opponents while I'm still able (I'm 35).
So I'd say if you can afford it, and it won't hamper employment after your sabbatical, then go for it!
Caveat: In honesty, I find while getting better, my frustration level is slowly going up when I make simple errors, whereas beforehand I was still "getting the hang of it" and mistakes were fine. If I was a 4.0, I'd probably find a great deal of frustration in those six months. But that could just be me.

2 durons down the tube
My first duron was a 650 bought off ebay. I had already received all my other components by the time the cpu came, so I was very hyped to get the system working. While I try to figure out how to make the clip on my dragon orb work, I feel the heatsink shift lightly. Lift it up, and the corner of the core is stuck in the thermal paste. Oh well, I figure I just paid the stupid tax and order another cpu (a 700 this time). It works fine for me for several months. This is when I get a new case. I take apart the old system, and get everything in the new case, but I loose this little plastic piece on the CD-ROM tray. Its stuck down in the front of the case, but I can't find it. After living without it for a few days, I decide I am going to SHAKE it out. This was my most brilliant move
I turn off the machine, and proceed to shake it around and actually bang the case on its back corner a few times before I hear something rattle around in there. I open the case, retrieve the piece, and close the case back up. Later that day, I go to power up the system and nothing happens. I instantly smell something hot, and flip the switch on the PSU. After opening up the case, I immediately realize that the heatsink has popped completely off the cpu. it is swinging in there by the tabs on one side, but at a 90 degree angle to the motherboard. The power was on for less than 5 seconds, and the cpu was blown. Big corner was chipped off, and the backside of the chip has a big burned spot on it.
At least I was able to get a cheap duron 1200 by this time.
I am very careful with my cpu and case, handling it all like its made of glass...now.
(Update: I am in the process right now of making myself a nice keychain by epoxying the two chips togather)

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - JANUARY 31: Long snapper Jon Condo #59 of the AFC's Oakland Raiders waits to snap the ball from the line of scrimmage during the 2010 AFC-NFC Pro Bowl game at Sun Life Stadium on January 31, 2010 in Miami Gardens, Florida. The AFC defeated the NFC 41-34. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)
The Oakland Raiders appear to be addressing their glaring need for a long-snapper to replace injured Jon Condo. Travis Tripucka said in his twitter account that he is headed for Oakland, according to the Bay Area News Group, which suggests he is going to work out for the Raiders as a long snapper. "Oakland California, here I come!" said Tripucka (@LunchMeat8) said on Twitter. "Another opportunity. Couldn't be happier! Raider Nation better be ready for the lunchmeat." The Raiders had not released any information about Tripucka as of early Wednesday afternoon. Condo, who suffered a concussion on Monday, won't play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins unless he passes a series of tests. With Condo out on Monday, Travis Goethel rolled two snaps back to the punter and a third punt was blocked.

Crew Cut: Gearing Up for the Future and Paying Tribute to the Past - Plus an Emblem Auteur and More
We haven't detailed the features of Grand Theft Auto V's online mode as yet (stay tuned for first info soon), but there's already a whole slew of Crews rallying, preparing and raring to go - with some creating some pretty impressive emblems along the way inspired by the artwork and information we've revealed about the game thus far. In today's edition of the Crew Cut, we take a look at early field of GTAV Crews out there preparing for West Coast domination later this year.
Established nearly a year ago when we first rolled out the Crews system, The GTA V FIVE Crew (GTAV) are one of the longest-running and also the highest-achieving with the most wins we've seen out the V Crews carrying 327 total and a win percentage of 60% throughout all their bouts playing Max Payne 3. needyday31468 is the star of this PS3 Crew with 3,955,250 XP, livelyweek95346 is in second with 3,893,778 and lumpy80011 has 2,475,585 XP. Over the last month, they've had a tight Feud with The YRA Crew (featured in our last edition), winning three Feuds a-piece while just edging them out with 38 kills to 37. Just a one digit differential, but enough to tip the scales in GTA V FIVE Crew's favor.
Or maybe you're an aspiring squad just trying to get a rep and have your sights on a top class Crew like Clubber Lang eyeing up the champ.
Either or, what better way to find out who has the better chops than doing so in a live stream via the official Rockstar Twitch page. While we are no longer accepting Crew vs, Rockstar challenges and are now hosting Crew vs Crew grudge matches, each Crew will get one of our skilled R* players on their side for the duration of the stream in order to facilitate the live stream and to keep things fair. We're already finalizing some battle details with a couple Crews out there - including the mighty FAHQ is ready to take their ever-flaring Feud with AGNT to the ol' free-per-view broadcast - we're just waiting to hear back from the latter (that's a nudge in your direction, Agency). GeNeSis x (IPRO) has also let us know that they want to throw the gauntlet to the Murders Death Kill Crew (MMDK) so, MMDK, you've been challenged. Hit us up at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll let you settle things on the battlefield.

2016: Obama's America Movie Reviews
2016: Obama's America
Release Date: Jun 08, 2012
Genre: Documentary
Rating: (PG)
User reviews on 2016: Obama's America
I'm an independent. I voted for Obama in 2008. My family has been Chicago Machine Democrats since 1931. My grandparents were Ward Heelers in the 1st Ward and most of the family lives off patronage jobs and civil service in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Google my family name and we are everywhere back there. I knew about most of the information in the movie before Obama was elected. The movie doesn't go into the way the Machine elected Obama and why. It doesn't describe the support structure the Machine provided him and why the Machine is backing away from him. I've been to the family "get-togethers" and listened to the conversations that people outside the Machine will never hear. My family may be Democrats, but they aren't stupid. We go to church, send our kids to Catholic schools, support pro-life, and live decent lives. We are Democrats for the money we make off the party, but we are still Americans and none of the family is voting for this guy again. He is off the reservation. He has gone rogue. The movie should have covered this. It's important.
Excellent, incisive revelation of the philosophy and events that motivate Obama and his policies. The author, Dinesh D'Souza who was born in India the same year as Obama, contrasts his coming to America and reveling in the opportunities here with Obama's mission. Quite fascinating
If money rules current elections then if Obama is reelected it will be money, corruption, buracratic terrorism, and tyrany that rules his second election.
The most telling part is when Obama is sitting with the former President of Russia Dmitry Mededev and is unaware that there is a live microphone; Obama says, Tell putin that I will have more fleibility when I'm reelected. What he means is he'll be even more tyranical and corrupt than he has been. The movie tells it like it is and what the National media propagandists for Obama won't tell us.
To all Voters let's get real and admit that it is money that truly runs our Nation
To all Voters lets live in the moment and ask the candidates:
What are you really going to do?
How are you really going to do it?
Speak up and vote.
I voted for president Obama and I am sort of inclined to like this film but I did not. found this film to be quite boring and sluggish and overall a bit pointless. I expected to learn something new and exciting but there was nothing new in this film whatsoever. The film is not entertaining at all and I realize that doc**entaries are not supposed to be extremely entertaining but I expected something more than this. I did like the cinematography of this film and the pacing was quite good but everything else fell flat. Overall, I do not recommend seeing this film in the theaters.
'2016' - tells Obama's story in a powerful way :
We went to see "obama 2016". You would not have believed how many people showed up to see this doc**entary. Every seat in the theater was filled, even though there had been an earlier showing that day, and more showings were scheduled for the rest of the afternoon and evening. We had to sit way down front - (I don't like sitting that close to the screen. It gives me a sore neck, and eye strain). The
Audience was riveted. You could barely hear a sound from them, or detect a movement, and certainly not smell
Popcorn. Yet the movie had no bombast, no violence, no sex and no spectacular visual effects.
Everyone was so quiet. I don't think they were even breathing. No one wanted to miss a word. It was
Refreshing to see how addressing adults as adults could be effective, in an age when so many parts of the
Media address the public as if they were children who need a constant whirlwind of sounds and
Movements to keep them interested. After the show everyone clapped. I haven't seen that many people in a movie theater since I was a teenager; or hear the audience start clapping at the end. The movie didn't try to put obama down; it just told how obama came to his Third World perspective of America and the facts about his life. How he came to be the person he is today. I hope you go to see it before they stop running it. Here is the link where you can find where, and when the doc**entary is showing.
This movie is surprisingly fair to Obama, its a very objective portrayal of the important life events and forces that have influenced and shaped Barack Obama into who he is now. I was already aware of most of the information presented, but to see all the data put together with many of Obama's own words added is truly scary.
Di Sousa gives us a wonderful case study of how Obama's "theoreticaly-a-100%-income-tax-could-work" radical marxist parents shaped him into becoming the muslim sympathizing marxist that he is today !!
Watch it with an open mind.... especially.....If you have ever wondered how Germany was hypnotized by Hitler and his smooth talk .... then watch this film... i.e "Sieg Heil" = "Hope and Change"
This film is not unlike the detailed full-life macroscopic examination that the MSM (main-stream-media) directs toward conservative candidates for office.
It must be a great movie, there scrubbing it out of the theaters in the Sacramento area, that's California for you. I will probably have go to some other state to see it or I could order it from Amazon. It might be worth it, I could show it all friends and neighbors!!!!! Who really wants to have DINNER with Barack, anyhow?
Five stars to DD for having the courage to tell the truth. He says things that the "mainstream" media should have covered, four years ago. But, they did not actually care, for some reason.
After the showing that we say, yesterday, the audience broke into applause and cheers. We actually met some that had been swept away in 2008 and voted for him. Since then,they have been actively educating themselves and REGRET what they did. Kudos to them. They do NOT want the America that obama and daddy dreamed of. THAT is pretty scary. Hey leftists, that think this movie was produced by birthers............newsflash, it clearly states that he was born in Hawaii..........hmmmm.........obama wants this country reduced in every way and he wants ALL countries equal. To the left wing people - do you really want that??! WHY? loss of SNAP; welfare and all the other entitlements..........Well did you know that obama has already cut medicare by $450 billion, in order to fund his joke of a "healthcare" program. Would you like to see a country that is getting it RIGHT??! Look North to Canada. Then you might see why obama has disdain for PM Stephen Harper. If obama slimes his way into office, this country will not even be recognizable and all because of people, who voted for hope and change. You have got some of the change - what do you think?
To the left - who should be seeing this movie - educate yourselves, and then ask yourself, WHY, nobody on the left has come out with a movie touting your messiah.
Romney/Ryan - 2012
So I went and watched this movie, I am on who didn't vote for Obama back then and sure won't again. When he was running he appeared fake and see through. Those who voted for him were sure in a trance and didn't hear what he was saying because all they saw as Obama himself said, "a black man who isn't angry." Say what you will but I am one of those who has become unemployed, denied benefits of any sort, and soon will have to pay for medical insurance because I don't want to be in line waiting for my appointment at a community hospital because of Obamacare saying I have to go to a specific medical care. I have heard Obama talk about his brief background but this film did show why he is against the "American Dream", shoot today in his eyes I am richer than where he came from, Kenya. He has already shown how he wants us to welcome the Muslims into the U.S. no matter if they are good or bad, reduced our military and weapons, restricted our resources for oil, spend billions on oversea matters, enjoyed our tax dollars on his and families vacations (shoot I wish I had a dad who flew me and my friends to Italy for the week, for for my birthday party in a private plane). Anyways this movie explains how Obama is totally against how the whites (colonist) have made America who they are. Even in the movie they have people say that Obama wants to make us even with the 3rd world countries, that everyone should be even in wealth. We should not want more and should give to other nations. We should not have more weapons than other countries and who are we to have more. You can see by the news how every other nation is growing in nuclear weapons and ours is getting reduced soon we won't be the nation that everyone feared or went to for help when they were in crisis. America will no longer be the country of the free and we will be in a communist order soon. You can see by the way Obama is ignoring the constitution and calling everyone chicken when they won't go his way. Come on people wake up and see who Obama is, don't follow him like all the people did in Jonestown. His drink will lead us nowhere but doom. Look at it now people losing their jobs, homes, and now lives. People killing themselves, employers, families, and innocent people because there is no "hope" and no where to turn to. Sure we don't like the running mate but hey the next person can at least stop this tyrant who doesn't love AMERICA!!!!! I couldn't believe it when the movie was over the ones who were Obama bound had second thoughts now. This is the first time I have gone to a theater showing where I could actually watch a movie in peace and no cell phones. Then no one left their seats during or even after the show. Go see it and for those who are blinded by Obama, wisen up.

The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines says that while airline safety in the region is aligned with global norms, there is room for improvement in some areas.
Speaking at the annual Flightglobal Safety in Aviation event in Singapore, AAPA technical director Martin Eran-Tasker, says accidents have fallen to one per three million flights, compared with three per one million flights a decade ago.
"Over the last ten years safety in the region has improved a great deal owing to the implementation of safety measurement systems, as well as initiatives by ICAO to work with the region's airlines and regulators," says Eran-Tasker.
One area where improvement could occur is with turboprop operations, which are four times more likely to be involved in an accident than jet aircraft. This could be due to the unique conditions under which turboprops can operate in the region, such as more basic runways and airports in remote regions.
Eran-Tasker notes that accidents involving either turboprops or jets tend to have commonalities. Accidents in both classes of aircraft have a greater tendency to occur during approach and landing. Crew training and experience levels also contribute to incidents involving both types of aircraft. Aircraft mode awareness can also be an issue.
In an address to the conference, AAPA director general Andrew Herdman commented on wider issues affecting safety in the region. He noted that the region's disparate nations give it less influence in the global regulatory regime.
"The Asia Pacific needs a more unified voice," says Herdman. He points to a lack of transparency in regard to the European Union's list of blacklised airlines as a particular case in point.
Herdman adds that while Asia's airline industry is "delivering continuous improvements in aviation safety performance, a greater effort is needed from some Asian governments to ensure full compliance with agreed ICAO standards of regulatory oversight."

Thunder beat Clippers to clinch division title
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin Durant scored 29 points, Russell Westbrook added 26 and the Oklahoma City Thunder clinched the Northwest Division title by beating the Los Angeles Clippers 112-108 on Wednesday night.
The Thunder won the first division crown for the franchise since 2005, when they were known as the Seattle SuperSonics, but only after fending off a late charge from the Clippers.
Blake Griffin had 35 points and 11 rebounds in the second visit to his hometown in his NBA career, but he missed a key foul shot that helped put the game away for Oklahoma City.
Durant hit two free throws at the other end to put the Thunder up 110-106 with 12 seconds left and ice the game, just moments after he'd missed a foul shot to give the Clippers a chance for the tie.
When Mo Williams couldn't get open, Griffin attacked the basket for a powerful slam but couldn't connect and got fouled by Serge Ibaka. He missed the first of his foul shots before hitting the second, and the Clippers tried to trap Durant but fouled him in the process.
An 88 percent free throw shooter, Durant wouldn't miss again.
Kendrick Perkins grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds and Ibaka chipped in 15 points and eight rebounds for the Thunder. It's only the second division title for the franchise in 13 years, since Seattle won three straight Pacific Division crowns from 1996 to 1998.
Williams and Eric Gordon scored 16 apiece for the Clippers, who overcame a 16-point deficit to beat Oklahoma City four nights earlier and nearly dug out of a 10-point hole in the final 3 1/2 minutes in this one.
Gordon's steal set up a right-handed tomahawk jam by Griffin on the fast break, and Griffin then swatted Thabo Sefolosha's shot before Chris Kaman came up empty on two free throw tries that proved critical.
Randy Foye had a putback dunk after Williams tracked down a long rebound for a fast break, Williams hit a 3 and Griffin slammed home a two-handed reverse dunk off of Williams' alley-oop to get the Clippers within 107-105 with 23.1 seconds left.
L.A. could never make up for the two misses by Kaman, an 80 percent foul shooter who was 2 for 6 at the line in the fourth quarter.
DeAndre Jordan scored six points during a 10-2 Clippers run that forced Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks to hurry Westbrook and Durant back into the game. Jordan tipped in Eric Bledsoe's miss, hit two free throws and then had a right-handed jam before Craig Smith's hook shot got Los Angeles within 93-89 with 8:31 to play.
After a Thunder timeout, Westbrook got fouled in the lane and hit two free throws. Nazr Mohammed's jumper stretched the lead back to eight.
Durant made his presence known with a driving floater, then used a significant height advantage to back in for a basket against Foye that made it 105-95 with 3:32 remaining.
Griffin got off to a quick start, scoring the game's first points by dunking Mo Williams' alley-oop pass from midcourt with two hands. He dunked three more times while single-handedly outscoring the Thunder as Los Angeles took a 20-10 lead. He had a two-handed jam off an offensive rebound, another two-handed slam off an assist from Gordon and then turned a right-handed dunk into a three-point play.

In the world of standards-based and data-driven instruction, knowing precisely how the Common Core will be assessed is critical. After all, while standards help explain what students should know and be able to do, it's the assessments that clarify how student mastery will be measured. And that information is critical to ensuring that what is taught in the classroom matches—in terms of both content and rigor—what is articulated in the standards and measured by the assessments.
Yet, both federally funded assessment consortia have only given glimpses of how they plan to measure student mastery of the Common Core—which of course makes the information communicated and sample items shared by the consortia all the more critical to classroom-level Common Core implementation efforts.
Most recently, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium released a small handful of web-based English language arts and math sample test items, which are available for public comment and feedback until November 2. While useful for painting a picture of how a few standards will be assessed and how technology will be used, the quality and rigor of the questions themselves are a mixed bag. While some help...
In education, the quickest way to get approving head-nods from a crowd is to talk about the perils of rote and repetition. Students can't learn "how to think," after all, if they're forced to memorize facts or repeat skills to automaticity. And teachers are not widgets merely implementing basic skills; they're artists.
Perhaps no applause line has done more damage to effective teaching than these attacks on repetition. This is something that Doug Lemov knows intimately, thanks in part to the thousands of hours he spent observing outstanding teachers in action. What he learned was that great teaching is born not of spontaneous and unpracticed excellence, but rather of spending more time than seems to make sense mastering seemingly mundane but crucially important knowledge and skills. In his first book, Teach Like a Champion, Lemov described 49 of the fundamental techniques that great teachers incorporated into their daily practice.
Lemov builds upon these insights in his latest book, Practice Perfect (coauthored with Erica Woolway and Katie Yezzi). The book is, at...
Guest blogger Andy Smarick posts regularly (although generally with fewer acronyms) on Fordham's Flypaper blog.
A recent Common Core-sympathetic article carried by the WSJ begins with an anecdote about a too-seldom mentioned potential upside of tougher standards: that fewer parents will need to pay for remedial courses when their kids reach college ("something parents of about a quarter of all New York students entering college now do").
But what really comes through in this article is that it's not completely clear what "Common Core implementation" actually means. This is something I've been fretting about since my time at the New Jersey Department of Education.
Though the reporter and numerous sources quoted throughout the article use buzz words ("rigorous," "complex texts," "ready for college and career success," "mapping backward," "analytical reading and writing skills," and "text-based instruction."), their translation into real-life practice is garbled English at best, ancient Greek at worst.
It seems to me that many of the Common Core's most strident defenders don't understand or appreciate that state and local leaders don't know exactly what they should be doing. That confusion trickles down...
Keeping up with up with the inaccuracies and distortions in the Common Core debate can sometimes feel like the classic arcade game Whack-a-Mole. As soon as you finishing knocking down one half-truth or mischaracterization, another pops up somewhere else. Publishers have, for instance, scrambled to claim alignment when none exists or to actively co-opt the standards for their own ends. Now political ideologues have gotten into the game, adding a whole new level of difficulty.
The political opponents of the Common Core—like the self-interested publishers and consultants—are quick to make broad and often inaccurate claims about the new standards. Though their intent is different, the impact may be equally damaging, particularly since they hope to bury the standards entirely, not just make a buck off the coming wave of CCSS implementation. The great irony, though, is that, by pitching the Common Core as something that it isn't, CCSS opponents may inadvertently...
When charter schools first emerged twenty years ago, they represented a revolution, ushering in a new era that put educational choice, innovation, and autonomy front and center in the effort to improve our schools. While charters have always been very diverse in characteristics and outcomes, it wasn't long before a particular kind of gap-closing, "No Excuses" charter grabbed the lion's share of public attention. But in this rush to crown and invest in a few "winners," have we turned our back on the push for innovation that was meant to be at the core of the charter experiment?
Of course, the top charter management organizations got this level of attention the old fashioned way: they earned it. The best CMOs—like KIPP, Uncommon Schools, and Achievement First—have done amazing work. The teachers work long hours and do—often quite literally—whatever it takes to give students the kinds of opportunities they've had.
But, while charters have made important strides, it's become increasingly obvious that they've also hit a wall in their quest to put their students on the path to college....
A famous workplace adage goes: "The boss is coming, look busy!" It is a recognition that far too often people are judged not just by what they produce, but by how hard they work to produce it.
Many education reforms are designed to shift away from this thinking, placing the emphasis on outcomes instead of inputs, encouraging the use of objective data to drive judgments about performance, to shift the conversation to one grounded in genuine productivity and effectiveness. The crucial insight of these efforts is that management styles that prioritize "busy-ness" over effectiveness encourages people to make grand, often complicated plans that may not be well suited to drive the kind of change we need.
Yet, isn't this exactly what we're seeing in our rush to implement the Common Core?
Since its inception—and with the exception of the development of the actual K-12 expectations—the Common Core has encouraged haste. Four states (Kentucky, Hawaii, Maryland, and West Virginia) adopted the standards before they were even final.
Twenty states adopted them within one month of their release. All but...
In 2005, Achieve and the National Governors Association hosted a National Education Summit on High Schools where forty-five governors came together with business leaders to address an ongoing challenge in American education: the gap between what students need to master to earn high school diplomas, and the knowledge and skills they need to be prepared for college and careers. Every year since, Achieve has released its annual "Closing the Expectations Gap" report, aimed at highlighting the progress states have made—and need to make—to better align K-12 and postsecondary education expectations.
The first report, released in 2006, focused primarily on whether high school academic standards and graduation requirements were aligned to "college and workplace expectations." (In all but two states, they hadn't been, though as many as thirty-five states were working towards it.) This year, the landscape has obviously shifted dramatically: Thanks in part to the Common Core, schools in every state and the District of Columbia are guided by standards that are aligned to College and Career Ready (CCR) expectations.
Of course, that means that the report must shift to match the changing landscape. To that end, this year's report has,...
The Pioneer Institute released a report last week entitled How Common Core's ELA Standards Place College Readiness At Risk. As the title suggests, this is the latest in a series of Pioneer broadsides against the Common Core. Readers who find their way through the reflexive criticism and confusing presentation will be rewarded with some genuine insights into how to get implementation right. Unfortunately, because that guidance is buried deep amidst a sea of misrepresentations and sometimes inflammatory rhetoric, it is unlikely to further the discussion of how best to implement the CCSS.
The authors hammer home their message with all the subtlety of a wrecking crew: The Common Core English language arts expectations are poor—far lower in terms of content, clarity, and rigor than the Massachusetts English language arts standards, they clearly believe—and their adoption in states across the country "places college readiness at risk."
The reality—as evidenced by the substance of the report, if not its title—is far more nuanced. And the authors of this report, Mark Bauerlein and Sandra Stotsky, have much to contribute to the discussion of how best to implement the...
Thanks in part to the requirements of the Federal Race to the Top program, since 2010 states and districts across the country have adopted teacher evaluation systems that use student achievement as part of the assessment of individual teachers' performance. Given the amount of energy and political capital the education-reform community has put into developing, negotiating, and implementing these plans, you would think it's a sure fire way to boost student achievement. Unfortunately, the top-down nature of these changes may very well be undercutting any chance they have to make a real difference for kids.
The problem is not about the details of these evaluation systems—although clearly some are better than others—but rather who should be in the driver's seat in making the decisions about how to hire, fire, and evaluate teachers. And the reality is that teacher-evaluation reforms are unlikely to succeed for reasons education reformers should know well: Top-down systems that bypass or undermine school leaders rarely produce excellence in the classroom.
It wasn't that long ago that education reform was driven forward by a commitment to freeing determined principals who had a vision...
Thanks to the Chicago Teachers Union strike, 350,000 of some of our nation's neediest children have missed school this week. While it sounds like the strike may be close to an end, its impact will likely be far reaching and linger long after the teachers go back to work.
According to the unions, the fact that Chicago children have been denied the education they deserve is unfortunate but necessary to stop what they perceived as an unfair and unjust evaluation system that "would rely heavily on student standardized test scores." One of key talking points being thrown around by the media is that student performance on standardized tests would account for as much as 40 percent of a teacher's evaluation, something that even many reformers can't stomach.
However, a close read of the final teacher-evaluation proposal from the Chicago Public Schools reveals a very different picture. In fact, the CPS proposal is more thoughtfully crafted and balanced than the rhetoric suggests, using a well-developed and tested teacher evaluation rubric, peer evaluation from master teachers, and student performance on teacher-created and teacher-scored performance assessments.
In fact, according to the final proposal, student achievement on standardized tests will never...
