Despite Testimony on Past Misuse, Klan Boss Solicits More Funds
Eight days after a Meade County, Ky., civil jury delivered a potentially crippling verdict against the Imperial Klans of America (IKA), including $1 million in punitive damages against IKA leader Ron Edwards, the unrepentant imperial wizard had this to say to "IKA Members and Supporters":
I quit.
Oh, and please send money.
In an open letter dated Nov. 22 and posted on the IKA website, Edwards declared that he was resigning effective immediately. "I need time off because I have not had any in many years," wrote Edwards, who founded the IKA, now the third largest Klan group in America, in late 1996.
Edwards further explained that he was stepping down in order to "focus my efforts" on preparing an appeal of the $2.5-million judgment in a lawsuit brought by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on behalf of a teenager who was assaulted by IKA members at a county fair in rural Kentucky in 2006.
Although Edwards represented himself during the recent three-day trial, he claimed in his letter that an unnamed Louisville, Ky., lawyer had offered to represent Edwards on appeal for the cut rate of $10,000. "That is GREAT!" Edwards wrote. "While this lawyer does not share our beliefs, he … seems to be determined to put up a serious fight in court. So, anyone who can send anything in, please do! In the memo area, please write 'Lawyer.' Thank you so much!" Later in the letter, Edwards reiterated his plea for money: "Again, anyone who can help with donations for the appeal, please do. This is very important, not just for myself, but all Pro-European American groups and our people as whole."
Unfortunately for Edwards, potential donors to his purported cause are likely to consider the damning testimony of former IKA members who said in the Meade County trial that Edwards routinely lines his own pockets with IKA membership fees and "defense fund" donations. One of them, Joshua Cowles, a former IKA recruiter under Edwards, described a typical occasion where Edwards paid his own bills with a $400 donation that Edwards had solicited on behalf of an IKA member facing a criminal assault charge. "The IKA is about one man and one man only—and that's Ron Edwards," Cowles said on the witness stand. "It's about his greed, his want to have money, his desire to get by without working, his desire to trick people into giving him money to support him." ( continue to full post… )
Trial Day 3 Update: SPLC Wins $2.5 Million Verdict for Teen in Klan Case
BRANDENBURG, Ky. — In a blow to one of the nation's largest Klan groups, jurors yesterday awarded more than $2.5 million to a teenager who was assaulted by Klansmen at a county fair in rural Kentucky.
The verdict is expected to shut down the Imperial Klans of America (IKA), which has 16 chapters in eight states. "We intend to collect every dime we can on the judgment and do everything within our power to put the Imperial Klans out of business," said Southern Poverty Law Center President Richard Cohen at a press conference after the verdict announcement.
The SPLC sued IKA leader Ron Edwards of Dawson Springs, Ky., contending that members of his Klan group attacked a 16-year-old U.S. citizen of Panamanian descent because they thought he was an "illegal spic." Also named as a defendant was Jarred Hensley of Cincinnati, who served nearly three years in state prison for assaulting the teenager at a county fair in northwest Kentucky.
Trial Day 3: Teen Describes Klan Beating in Final Day of Testimony
BRANDENBURG, Ky. — A teenager gave an emotional account of his assault by Klansmen during the final day of testimony in the Southern Poverty Law Center's trial against the Imperial Klans of America.
Jordan Gruver, who was 16 when he was attacked by IKA members at the Meade County Fair, told the jury that he was about to buy a drink from a concession stand when several Klansmen called him a "spic," spat at him and threw whiskey in his face. Then Klansman Jarred Hensley struck a blow to his jaw that knocked him off his feet. Gruver showed the jury how he curled up in a fetal position and tried to protect his head with his arms. While he lay on the ground, Klansmen kicked him with steel-toed boots.
Trial Day 2: Witness Details Edwards' Plot to Kill Dees
BRANDENBURG, Ky. — In dramatic testimony today, a former white supremacist told the court that the head of the Imperial Klans of America (IKA) instructed him to assassinate Southern Poverty Law Center founder Morris Dees (below).
"[IKA leader] Mr. [Ron] Edwards is a very dangerous man to me," said Kale Kelly, who was once a trusted member of Edwards's inner circle. "He promotes violence and hatred [toward] anybody who he feels threatens him: minorities, Jews, blacks. I've lived with him. I know this."
Kelly's testimony, which came during the second day of SPLC's trial against Edwards, struck a blow to the heart of the Klan leader's defense: That he does not encourage his members to commit violent acts. It also contradicted Edwards' earlier testimony that he never told Kale to kill anyone.
The SPLC sued Edwards of Dawson Springs, Ky., in civil court, contending that members of his Klan group attacked and severely injured a 16-year-old boy of Panamanian descent because they mistakenly thought he was "an illegal spic." Also named as a defendant was Jarred Hensley of Cincinnati, who served two years in state prison for assaulting Gruver at a county fair in northwest Kentucky. The SPLC hopes to win damages large enough to shut down the IKA, one of the largest Klan groups in America.
Kentucky Klan Trial Day 2: Bulletin
A former member of the Imperial Klans of America (IKA) testified today that the group's leader led a plot to kill the co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), according to The Associated Press.
The AP said that Kale Kelly, who is testifying for the SPLC in a lawsuit against the Kentucky-based IKA, testified that IKA leader Ron Edwards wanted to kill the SPLC's Morris Dees. Edwards was said to be infuriated by an SPLC lawsuit tried by Dees against another white supremacist group, the Aryan Nations, in 1999.
The SPLC sued the IKA, Edwards, and several IKA members over the beating of a 16-year-old boy at a county fair by two IKA members.
Hatewatch will report fully on these developments later in the day.
Trial Day 1: Steel-Toed Boots Help SPLC Make Case Against Klan
BRANDENBURG, Ky. — A jury got a look today at the weapon that was used in a Ku Klux Klan assault on a 16-year-old boy: a pair of steel-toed black boots with bright red laces.
The boots played a key role in testimony during the first day of the civil trial against the leader of the Imperial Klans of America (IKA), one of the nation's largest Klan organizations with 16 chapters in eight states. The Southern Poverty Law Center filed a civil lawsuit against IKA leader Ron Edwards, contending that members of his group assaulted and severely injured Jordan Gruver in July 2006 at a county fair in Brandenburg, about 40 miles southwest of Louisville.
Gruver, a U.S.-born citizen of Panamanian descent, was attacked because the Klansmen wrongly assumed he was "an illegal spic." By suing Edwards and Jarred Hensley — a Klansman who pleaded guilty to attacking Gruver — the SPLC hopes to win damages large enough to shut down one of America's most dangerous Klan groups.
Today, the SPLC began making its case before a jury at the Meade County Courthouse in Brandenburg. The boots with red laces were introduced into evidence during the testimony of Joe Greer, a detective for the Meade County District Attorney's Office who investigated the assault on Gruver. Greer used a magnet to demonstrate how he confirmed that the boots had steel toes. He also testified that they were the boots Hensley had on the night he and another Klansman kicked Gruver after knocking him to the ground.
SPLC lead trial attorney Morris Dees returned to the boots during his questioning of Edwards, who runs the IKA from his 15-acre compound in Dawson Springs, Ky. Dees got Edwards to admit that steel-toed boots are "the weapon of choice" for skinheads, which Edwards welcomed into his group despite knowing of their propensity for violence.
"What's the significance of the red laces?" Dees asked.
"That means someone shed blood for their race." Edwards replied.
Edwards, who spent about 2½ hours on the stand today, sports several tattoos on his shaven head that were visible in the courtroom, including "Fuck S.P.L.C.," "Death to ZOG [Zionist-occupied government]" and "Aryan Justice." Hensley also has numerous tattoos, including the word "violence" on his knuckles, "murder" below his neck, and a swastika on his arm. ( continue to full post… )
Klan Trial to Begin Tomorrow in Kentucky
Brandenburg, Ky. — Trial is scheduled to start tomorrow in the case of a teenager who was beaten by Klansmen at a county fair in rural Kentucky.
The Southern Poverty Law Center sued the head of one of the nation's largest Klan groups, the Imperial Klans of America (IKA), alleging that members of the group assaulted and severely injured 16-year-old Jordan Gruver during a 2006 recruiting drive at the Meade County Fairgrounds. The civil lawsuit contends that Gruver, a U.S.-born citizen of Panamanian descent, was targeted because the Klansmen thought he was "an illegal spic."
The case aims to hold IKA leader Ron Edwards accountable for the attack that was perpetrated by members of his group. The SPLC hopes to win a verdict large enough to shut down the organization, which has 16 chapters in eight states. Also named as a defendant is Jarred R. Hensley, one of two Klansmen convicted of assault in criminal court for his attack on Gruver.
We will post daily dispatches as the trial unfolds this week in Meade Circuit Court.
Plot to Murder SPLC Founder Disclosed
A new book details a formerly undisclosed 1999 plot to assassinate Morris Dees, co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and possibly also to blow up the center. Written by FBI agent Tym Burkey and informant Dave Hall, Into the Devil's Den describes how Hall, after penetrating the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations group in Ohio and Idaho, uncovered the plot shortly before the assassin was to head south to SPLC headquarters in Montgomery, Ala. The assassin was arrested on April 14, 1999, and had timed his attack to roughly coincide with the April 19-20 anniversaries of the fiery end of the 1993 Branch Davidian siege in Waco, Texas, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and the birthday of Adolf Hitler. The plot was apparently concocted by several men upset that Dees and the SPLC that year sued the Aryan Nations in an action that ultimately resulted in the sale of the group's Idaho compound.
Remarkably, the book also identifies Ron Edwards, national leader of the Kentucky-based Imperial Klans of America (IKA), as a possible (but uncharged) conspirator. The SPLC is now preparing for a November trial against Edwards and IKA on behalf of a boy who was beaten by two of the group's members. This February, when Dees went to Kentucky to take Edwards' deposition, the Klan leader (above, right) showed up with a fresh tattoo on the side of his newly shaven head that read, "FUCK S.P.L.C."
The 1999 plot, which was averted thanks to the work of Hall and Burkey, was only the latest attempt by extremists to assassinate Dees or attack the SPLC. More than 30 people have been sent to federal prison in connection with similar plots.
For more on this case, read an account of the plot here.
Would-Be Cop Killer, Son of Racist Leader, Shot Dead
Sometimes, violence just seems to beget more violence.
Last Friday, the 30-year-old son of Frazier Glenn Miller — a white supremacist icon of the 1980s who went to prison for defying court orders to shut down his paramilitary White Patriot Party — was shot to death by a Marionville, Mo., police officer who he'd just wounded with a shotgun blast.
Authorities were still investigating the bizarre events surrounding Jesse Miller's death today. But initial reports indicated that Miller, driving an SUV, had an accident with a pickup truck on the afternoon of Friday, March 28. Shortly after the crash, Joseph M. Rich, 55, stopped to offer to help Miller — who, for reasons that are still unknown, responded by killing him with a shotgun he had in his vehicle. Moments later, officer Andy Clark arrived and ordered Miller to put down the weapon. Instead, Miller shot Clark, who then managed to shoot Miller dead.
The officer, wounded in the shoulder, was conscious when taken to the hospital a short time later. Officials said his injuries were not life threatening.
Rich, the Good Samaritan, was not so lucky. Friends and relatives this week were mourning the memory of the man widely known as "Big Mike," a tattoo artist who was driving a small school bus that he'd converted to a mobile tattoo parlor. Friends said that in addition to working at a Marionville parlor, Rich was known for traveling the country to sell his tattoos at motorcycle rallies. ( continue to full post… )
Taking on the Klan
This morning, the Southern Poverty Law Center followed up an earlier lawsuit against two Klansmen by filing a complaint against their organization, the Imperial Klans of America (IKA), and three additional individuals (full story here). Both legal actions are based on the savage July 2006 beating by several IKA members of a 16-year-old boy at the Meade County Fairgrounds in Brandenburg, Ky. The attackers, one of whom weighed 300 pounds, called their 150-pound victim a "spic" and left him with broken bones and other serious injuries. ( continue to full post… )

Least expensive source for SSKI? Will need for 2 to 6 months. Thanks!

Answers (1)
Thanks. Did some research, found a source of granular KI USP with which to make up SSKI, cost roughly $120 to make up 8 oz, but they could only ship to a business address. Local major pharmacy chain wanted $175 for 8 oz of SSKI. Almost said yes but stopped in a little supermarket pharmacy for kicks and giggles and they wanted only $75 for 8 oz. That I can afford.
For Medicare Part D people (like me), SSKI is not on the Medicare Formulary so one would have to petition on an individual basis and the best Medicare could do is grant you approval as a third tier drug at $90 a month.
An adult with Sporotrichosis who wants to try SSKI will probably need a 6 month course or about 16 oz. The other practical options are the oral Azoles of which Ketokonazole is now not used in favor of the azole Medicare carries as a Tier 2 drug (blocking on its name, sorry).

Gome Profit Increases as Chinese Growth Lifts Electronics Demand
Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Gome Electrical Appliances Holdings Ltd. profit jumped 13 percent in the third quarter as consumers in the world's fastest-growing major economy spurred demand at China's second-largest electronics retailer.
Net income climbed to 538.8 million yuan ($85 million) in the three months ended Sept. 30, from 477.6 million yuan a year earlier. Sales rose 14 percent to 14.2 billion yuan. Third-quarter figures were derived from earnings the Beijing-based retailer reported to Hong Kong's stock exchange yesterday.
Gome, which added 241 stores after closing 26 underperforming ones in the last nine months, is expanding in smaller towns to narrow the gap with larger rival Suning Appliance Co. and tap demand for electrical appliances in China's rural areas. The market for electronics and appliances in the world's most populated nation is estimated to surge 70 percent to 2.14 trillion yuan by 2015 from 2010, according to London-based researcher Euromonitor International.
"We are confident that the rising spending power of Chinese consumer will fuel our growth," Chief Financial Officer Fang Wei said in a conference call yesterday. "We're accelerating store expansion, adding more stores in the second and third-tier cities in a move to capture the rising demand and growing affluence" in those cities, he said.
Margin Improvement Aim
The continued store expansion has increased selling and distribution costs by 31 percent in the nine-month period. Gome aims to increase its consolidated gross profit margin to 23 percent by 2014 from 19 percent at the end of September by selling more higher-margin products, Fang said.
Gome's sales rose 15 percent from a year earlier during China's week-long National Day holidays in October, Fang said.
The company, whose shareholders include U.S. private equity fund Bain Capital LLC, said year-on-year same-store sales rose 6.2 percent in the first nine months, compared with a 7.4 percent increase in the first half. Same-store sales strip out the effect of outlets open less than a year.
China's economy, the world's second biggest, will expand 8.5 percent next year, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development estimated in a report Nov 28.
Gome rose 0.5 percent to HK$2.01 in Hong Kong trading yesterday. The stock has climbed 29 percent since Oct. 3, when the company said it would put a property venture with its jailed founder on hold.
Terminating Venture
Gome said yesterday it terminated the plan to form a property venture with Beijing Eagle Real Estate Holdings Ltd. and Beijing Gome Electrical Appliances Co., because of "recent volatility and uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment."
The retailer said Sept. 27 it planned a real-estate venture with billionaire founder and controlling shareholder Huang Guangyu, also known as Wong Kwong Yu. Huang is serving a 14-year prison sentence for bribery and insider trading and owns about a third of the company with his wife Lisa Du Juan, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

A Time Magazine investigation by Zagorin, Tumulty, and Calabresi shows that Jack Abramoff, the "lobbyist now at the center of a federal probe," had a "good friend eager to open doors at the White House: former Christian Coalition chief Ralph Reed." Note the e-mail cameo of Susan Ralston, Abramoff's former executive assistant who now works in that capacity for Rove. LINK
"Although Abramoff repeatedly tried to contact Rove, sources tell Time, he had been able to arrange only one private meeting with Bush's top political strategist, early in 2001. Ralston subsequently referred his occasional requests to the White House intergovernmental-affairs office. When Abramoff pleaded by e-mail in February 2003 for her to help arrange a 'quiet message' from Rove to the Interior Department on behalf of a tribal client, Ralston rebuffed him: 'Karl and others are aware, but the WH is not going to get involved.' So Abramoff sent a copy of Ralston's curt e-mail to Reed, who replied, 'this is ridiculous. want any help . . . ?'"
The politics of Iraq:
The Washington Post's Bradley Graham reports that the U.S. military has "abandoned its previous refusal to publicize enemy body counts and now cites such numbers periodically to show the impact of some counterinsurgency operations." LINK
While Washington awaits the endgame in the Fitzgerald investigation, the New York Daily News reports the White House is equally concerned by growing public concerns about Iraq -- and how this may affect the President's legacy. LINK
Says one senior Republican political strategist, "But if there's a civil war and Americans are still dying, Bush will end his term as one of the most unpopular Presidents in history."
2008: Republicans:
CQ Weekly and National Review make George Felix Allen a cover boy twice over this week.
CQ Weekly's David Nather writes: "What sets Allen apart from other 2008 hopefuls, Republican consultants and activists say, are his people skills and his ability to frame conservative views in ways that put his audience at ease -- one of the most important qualities Republicans say he shares with Reagan and Bush."
National Review's Rich Lowry is not entirely sure how the Dubyaesque quality will play in 2008, cautioning that Allen's persona "might seem too similar to Bush at a time when even Republicans might be suffering, after eight years, from Bush fatigue."
But Lowry's portrait, like Nather's in CQ Weekly, is largely a glowing one.
Writing under a "His Future Is Now" header, Lowry writes: "It is not hard to do a calculation that says at this early stage in the '08 race George Allen has perhaps a better chance of winning the nomination than any other Republican."
Conservative powerbroker Grover Norquist, who is quoted about Allen in both pieces, tells National Review: "He is right now best positioned in the sweet spot of Republican politics. He is on good terms with every piece of the coalition."
Lowry examines Allen's "libertarian sensibility" thusly:
"In the 1993 gubernatorial race he refused 'to be labeled pro-life or pro-choice,' and said he would, as a theoretical matter, support his daughter's decision to get an abortion. But he has never voted the wrong way on abortion or other social hot buttons, except for opposing the so-called gag rule when he was in Congress during the first Bush administration."

Installing the Raymarine SPX-5 P70 Wheel Pilot, with Video
1 Attachment(s)
This three-part blog entry details my owner installation in June, 2013. Note that the new P70 Control Head is shipped with incorrect installation instructions.

Re: Installing the Raymarine SPX-5 P70 Wheel Pilot, with Video
What I like about Raymarine Autopilots is that if you have the control head wired into the wind instruments (NMEA, SeaTalk, etc), then you can hit the AUto + StandBy button to steer to a constant wind direction (ie, 30 degree starboard, or 90 degrees port).
Re: Installing the Raymarine SPX-5 P70 Wheel Pilot, with Video
I recently wired a Raymarine C90W and a X-5 Tiller pilot (pretty much the same as yours, but with the older ST 6002 controller). I first thought about attempting to use seatalk NG but after hearing that I have to build an entire network to simply plug two devices together I went with the old seatalk standard instead.
It's pretty much a joke that you have to supply 12v to the seatalk NG network for it to work. Devices should come with separate 12v inputs and not carry 12v over the data cables...

analysis. Consequently, the committee formed a classified subcommittee to investigate this matter and, more generally, to explore whether access to classified data may be germane to the broader objectives of the committee. See the section "Selection of Interdiction Events" in Chapter 3 for discussion.
Although the RAND and IDA studies use different assumptions, data, and methods, the committee can and does apply the same broad criteria in assessing the two studies. Both studies use quantitative methods to draw conclusions from data and assumptions. In assessing each study, the committee evaluates the appropriateness of the data used, the plausibility of the assumptions imposed, and the logic of the methods by which data and assumptions are combined. In each case, the committee does not hold the study to a textbook standard of an ideal scientific analysis. The committee applied a necessarily looser and more pragmatic standard: Are the study's findings sufficiently credible that they should be given weight in the analysis and design of national drug control policy?
The committee is now moving forward on its broad study of data and research to inform drug control policy. The process of scrutinizing the specifics of the RAND and IDA studies has helped the committee to frame the general questions that it will now address. Looking ahead, the committee plans to evaluate the knowledge presently and potentially available about the effectiveness of drug treatment programs, the economics of drug markets (e.g., substitution effects), and the effects of domestic law enforcement activities on drug use. The committee also plans to assess the data presently and potentially available on drug production, use, and prices. The committee's final report will address the broad issue of how data and research can, in the future, serve the objective of informing drug control policy.

On 1 July 2012, the Office of Fair Trading ("OFT") will implement its powers under the Groceries Market Investigation (Controlled Land) Order 2010 (the "Groceries Order") to assess the competitive impact of land agreements entered into by certain larger supermarkets. This means that the OFT is now in a position, in terms of having the relevant software, personnel and procedures, to review such agreements when notified to it and to require the relevant supermarket to release/not to enforce infringing agreements.
One of the concerns identified by the Competition Commission in the course of its market investigation of the groceries sector was that land agreements were being used by the major supermarkets to make it difficult for competitors to enter local groceries markets. This led to a number of changes in the competition assessment of land agreements in all sectors. In relation to land agreements in the groceries sector, it has led to the additional requirements set out in the Groceries Order.
The Groceries Order relates to the following agreements entered into by the designated large grocery retailers...

I rented this property late February 2010. Not only was this property centrally located but the attention to detail was unparalleled in comparison to my past accommodations in Mammoth. Priced fairly with all the amenities, If you are looking for an amazing stay in mammoth I recommend this property. A special thanks to the owners, they were more than helpful.
A great place to stay!
I think the MOST important part about renting a home is, "How reliable is the owner?" I mean, you put down a lot of your hard earned money! The owner was very easy to reach via email, fax, text, and phone calls. All of my questions were answered. She answered my text / calls within the day I've have tried to reach her, A PLUS!
The house is about less than 2 minutes to canyon lodge via driving. This was the area I wanted my friends and family to stay. It seemed to be the area with a lot of mix lifts from beginners, intermediate, and black diamonds.
There is a balcony on the second floor, which I don't think there's a picture of it. The house is fully fully loaded. The 1st floor the ping pong table/pool table was used. There's games in the ottoman such as jenga and apples to apples, which were a hit in our stay. Flat screen tvs, with a lot of electronic stuff that I didn't know how to use. Logitech touch screen remotes for the TVs, cable, surround sound (which was great to have). The sofa in the upstairs living room can be turned into lazy boys (2).
The kitchen is also fully loaded. We brought croc pots and a rice cooker, which that house didn't have. There's tupper ware to store your left overs, wine glasses, shot glasses, mugs, cups, 2 coffee makers, toaster, blender, many mixing bowls, corelle plate sets, lots of utensils, serving utensils, full size fridge, a small fridge downstairs, spatulas, knives, large cooking spoons, foil, saran wrap, dish washer soap, pots, pans, NOT much baking pans (which we just bought disposable ones)
We did notice some of the wall plugs in the kitchen by the blender, stove do not work. There is a lot of other plugs so that wasn't a problem.
We brought heavy duty garbage bags, a ver large deep sauce pan.
In the pantry it was cook that other guests left things behind for people to use. Coffee filters, peanut butter, garbage bags, and other things I can't remember. We left some Hawaii treats and can foods for the next guest.
There's a "Mr. Steam" in the master bathroom, which was cool. That was used after a long day of snowboarding.
The house looks exactly like the pictures. It's clean and neat. The owner will provide you with detailed contract. Once payment is received you will receive the information on how to access the home and directions on how to work some of the amenities.
We have stayed at this beautiful home twice now and can't think of a finer, more comfortable, new, elegant and clean spot to stay. The owners are tremendously helpful and flexible. You feel like you are staying in your very own resort home. There are all new appliances, TVs, bedding, etc. You have warm inside, covered parking often for two cars. However the walk to Canyon is a short one so you don't even need to use your car.
This home is not to be missed!
Just returned from an absolutly incredible trip to Mammoth...This was our first stay in this incredible condo with the most hospitable landlords and it most definatly will not be the last. Stayed at several other locations in Mammoth, however this place is and will always be a firt choice for future ski trips....
We truly enjoyed this fantastic home. The owners were very accommodating, ensuring complete enjoyment of their home. It is located very close to Canyon Lodge and the Village. The amenities are all outstanding down to the bedding, making it very relaxing after a day of skiing/snowboarding. It has underground parking, keeping you out of the elements as it was snowing when we arrived. Entering the home at its lower level, you walk into the game room with a large flat screen, pool table, fireplace and large comfortable couch including two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The upstairs is just as incredible, with dining area, living room with fireplace, large flat screen, fully stocked kitchen and an outstanding Master bedroom with Jacuzzi tub including a steam shower. We usually go to the Village for food and some entertainment, but instead stayed in enjoying the great amenities this home provided. We are looking forward to our next visit to Mammoth and plan to stay here again.
This is truely a dream home! It is one of the nicest rental houses I have ever stayed in. The house is prefect for one or two families...it is unbelievably clean, spacious, and elegant. We walked to Canyon Lodge everyday (5 minute walk at most). This house is also in the perfect location for those who want access to the Village (via the Gondola). I cannot wait to return next year...if you are planning a trip to Mammoth this is the house for you!
Beginning December, Flights From LAX to Mammoth occur twice daily. ARRIVE THERE IN AN HOUR. This Town Home is located within a 4 minute walk or a 2 minutes drive to Canyon Lodge/Village Gondola and a 4 minutes drive to Eagle Lodge, Village, Restaurants, Bars, Coffee shops, Grocery Store.

Revisiting Splitting Iraq
Tuesday, June 17, 2014
Leslie Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, Daily Beast contributor, and author of Power Rules: How Common Sense Can Rescue American Foreign Policy, and then-Senator Joe Biden proposed splitting Iraq along sectarian lines in 2006, a road not taken that now looks prescient. He talks about that proposal and what options still exist.
Guests:Leslie H. Gelb
Comments [28]
@Mr. Bad from NYC:
Yer' welcome.
@ geTaylor
Thanks for the two sentences of fatuous analysis and three long paragraphs of long winded, didactive, self congratulatory bleating. We can all "google" Walter Duranty if we wanted to or even cared for that matter, no need for the links...Ponderous man, friggin' ponderous as Polonius would say.
Mr Gelb's appearance will serve him well in the competition for this year's "WALTER DURANTY PRIZE" for his promoting the Iranian fanatics as a partner to help establish peace in Iraq between the Shia and the Sunnis. (Credit should also be given to Brian for not inquiring how Sunnis in Iran feel they are treated by the inflexible ayatollahs.
(Hey Leslie, why not just allow the Iranians to produce enough nuclear weapons so that they could replace any need for the U.S. to get involved in these little conflicts?)
It was encouraging to hear a listener finally ask why there seems to be no religious differences "worth" fighting for within Iraq's Kurdish population. (Are they all converts of the Quakers?) Mr. Gelb's analysis of the basis for the described (by non-Muslims) Islamic fratricide, "That's how they break themselves up. . . . ", seems superficial and self-serving.
A rationale for the Duranty Prize follows, with various background links.
WHY A WALTER DURANTY PRIZE – Speech by Roger L. Simon
Or, as my ancestors said every year, why is this night different from all other nights? On other nights we celebrate journalistic excellence… as in the Pulitzer Prize… but on this night we celebrate a man who lied about Stalin and won the Pulitzer.
Well, we don't really celebrate him. We refer to him. We use him as our emblem of something that is all around us — journalistic mendacity so awful, so meretricious, so despicably self-regarding that it is indeed in the tradition of Walter Duranty who — basically for his own self-aggrandizement, he wasn't even a communist — white-washed Stalin's mass starvation of upwards of a million Ukrainians, not to mention numerous other atrocities of the Soviet Union from the Gulag to the Purge Trials, for nearly twenty years as Moscow correspondent of the New York Times, while using, as an excuse for totalitarian evil, his oft-quoted phrase "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet."
So we're back again, a few months late, but we're back, for our annual celebration of journalistic mendacity known as the Duranty Prize — and our new award for lifetime achievement called The Rather, of which more later. I think any award of the nature of the Duranty should be judged by its past recipients, don't you — whether they were really and truly deserving of their honor? That's how we judge the Nobel Peace Prize, after all …. Don't we?
@CR from Manhattan
I'm Korean American and am not sure how your references to Korea fit into this discussion. Yes, Korea was a colony of Japan (from 1910 to 1945), but the current state of affairs is a result of the peninsula being divided between the ostensible allies USA and USSR who had entered from opposite directions. In my view, that the DPRK (North Korea) is a hotspot in northeast Asia today is only tangentially related to colonialism.
CR, it wasn't just the UK. It was also France in the Middle East, & in Africa, too, where several other European countries colonized, exploited, & redrew borders to suit what they perceived to be their own interests.
CORRECTION: Mehsood from Brooklyn -- Are you saying Sunnis and Shia did NOT have semiautonomy under the Ottomans, etc.?
Mehsood from Brooklyn -- Are you Sunnis and Shia did NOT have semiautonomy under the Ottomans, etc.?
The Arabs should never have left the Arabian peninsula to conquer the rest of the Middle East in the 7th - 9th centuries. The Arabs spread just like the English and Irish spread into territories that were never theirs. So if you want to blame the Middle East mess on somebody, why not on the Arabs who left Arabia to conquer the Middle East just as Europeans left Europe to conquer the Americas and other parts of the world?
Great guest! Nice to see the Lehrer show having a guest on Middle East Policy who doesn't parrot AIPAC talking points. Great article from Gelb back in 2007, quite prescient:
The Arabs should never have left the Arabian peninsula to conquer the rest of the Middle East in the 7th - 9th centuries. The Arabs spread just like the English and Irish spread into territories that were never theirs. So if you want to blame the Middle East mess on somebody, why not on the Arabs who left Arabia to conquer the Middle East just as Europeans left Europe to conquer the Americas and other parts of the world?
I find the idea that Assad has been buying oil from the Jihadis not convincing at all. Does the guest has an evidence for this claim? What is his evidence?
Love Gelb. Would appreciate hearing an opposing view though, or a conversation between Gelb and an opposing view.
Obviously they exist somewhere or this would not be a topic.
I'm glad to hear Mr. Gelb agree w/the caller who pointed out that "Sunni" doesn't equate w/"jihadi," esp. when early in this segment he used "Sunni" to refer to the jihadis. He needs to be more careful about how he says things & make these important distinctions.
On the other hand, the caller said the US should play a supervisory role in working things out, but would the parties accept that kind of role for the US?
@fuva from harlemworld
You obviously don't know anything about Middle Eastern history. Ever since the Abassid Caliphate this area has been more or less one country. In fact ever since the assassination of the prophet Ali the area has been united. When the British took over they inherited an even larger landmass from the Ottomans.
fuva from harlemworld
Good point indeed, but if you're going to run down history, don't forget the culpability of Great Britain in all this. Pretty much every hot spot in the middle east (and Africa, and much of Asia, and Northern Ireland) were all colonies or protectorates of the UK.
In 500 years this will be studied in high school World History class with a much wider lens. "World History, the Reformation to 2300." It will all be viewed as the wind-down from the British Empire and colonialization in general. (Also, Korea, was a colony of Japan)
TO Fuva
There were no Arab states until WWI. They were all created by the League of Nations and by Great Britain after WWI. They were all under Turkish Ottoman sultanate for many centuries. There are today 21 Arabic speaking states and 1 Hebrew speaking Jewish state. The Kurds didn't get a state after WWI and that was a great injustice and big problem to this very day, because the British wanted to control the oil in that part of Iraq so necessary for the new British post WWI navy. And oil pipeline was built from Kirkuk to the port of Haifa in Palestine where the British build an oil refinery. In order to protect that pipelinee as WWII approached, the British tried to placate the Arabs by cutting off Jewish immigration into Palestine just two years before the Holocaust. The Nazi propaganda at the time said that the British and Arabs don't want the Jews either.
I find the idea that Assad has been buying oil from the Jihadis not convincing at all. Does the guest has an evidence for this claim? What is his evidence?
"That's how they break themselves up?" "They decide to kill themselves?" This reeks of orientalism of the worst kind. Edward Said must be crying in his grave that this is what we have to listen to on public radio.
For starters ALL regions of Iraq have increasingly become less diverse ever since the US went in. Secondly between the 12 years of bombing between the two Bushes and the two invasions we have killed way more Iraqis than Iraqis have managed to kill by themselves.
On the question of the groups. My understanding is that Kurds are Sunni muslims (mostly). I also think referring to Kurds as a tribal group (the guest said) is not really the best way to describe the difference. They are an ethnic group (as stated by the caller). Not Arabs at all. And they have their own language.
So you have Kurds who do not want to be in an Arab state and Arabs who are fighting over religious ideology.
I agree we should not be involved with nation building, but in the case of Israel,the Jews did rebuild a successful nation and using no US troops to defend them, but only some US arms and only after 1967. The "Palestinians" failed to build a nation choosing to fight the Jewish one instead.
Substitute "the Communists" with the "jihadis", and you'll find a repeat of Vietnam propaganda. Vietnam is a welcoming ally today. This fellow says "The people forget Iran helped us in the first two years with Afghanistan"… We didn't forget. It was not publicized and it was kept from the US public. Few of us knew. Keep asking the important questions Brian. We might get to some truth, and be able to use our heads for once. But the Pope has it right…. we make and sell arms and wars…. in the name of country, and security…. it's a horror…. it's a lie more often than not.
CR from Manhattan -- What you may be overlooking, is that these people were separate, before the West came and pushed them together, by erecting false borders, that constitute current "countries" in the Middle East (and the Motherland).
Iran is not a "natural ally." Iran is responsible for countless deaths and injuries to American forces and Iraqi civilians by supplying IED technology and weapons across the border to Iraqi insurgents during the peak of the insurgency. We should never forget this.
Let's not reinvolve ourselves in Iraq's civil wars. If Iraq, like Yugoslavia or the USSR has to break up, so be it. If the Iranians want to send their own army to get back body bags in Tehran, that's their business. Do we owe something to Maliki?
There is an intra-Muslim war between Sunna and Shia as there was between Catholics and Protestants during the 16th and 17th centuries and it will only resolve itself when the warring sides exhaust themselves in their own blood. We should have paid for our war by taking $1 trillion dollars worth of crude oil back when we were there. We should not spend another dime on Iraq.
As for the Jihadist threat to Jordan or Saudi Arabia, again not our problem. They have plenty of US arms. ISrael defends itself using our arms, and so should Jordan and Saudi Arabia defend themselves with the US arms they have. If they can't, tough luck on them. We have our own oil and natural gas. We don't intervene in the Congo, why should we forever intervene in Middle Eastern brawls that do not affect our material interests or internal security.
I can't believe that 10 years after this disaster Brian Lehrer is hosting yet another Council on Foreign Relations troll with another "brilliant plan" on how to dispose of land that is not ours to dispose of.
What I want to know, Brian, is when are you going to have a show revindicating the millions of Americans that had the foresight to realize that invading Iraq was not just a bad idea, but unnecessary?
I remember very well the response of commentators like you to what now have proven to be completely accurate predictions: "Well, then what do you want to do about Saddam?" As if somehow there was a crisis or some sort of emergency.
Could you please host some people who had the right idea in the first place, instead of this endless parade of mea culpa sociopaths who obviously don't know the area or the dynamics involved?
At some point, can someone please explain what the Obama administration should have done, that it did not do, when Iraq rejected the Status of Forces Agreement and an extension of Bush' withdrawal deadline?
Sure. "We" should divide the region like senator #Birthrighttobepresident Biden suggested. Nation building works... we've seen it for years. Just look at Israel/Palestine, Pakistan/India, Kuwait/Iraq, the Koreas... and all the other places where "we" have attempted to engineer a nation - nothing but peace and happiness.
I think President should order a surge in Iraq -- a humanitarian surge to aid all the refugees created by this horrible situation. Other than that we should STAY OUT. The U.S. has a sordid history in the region going all the way back to the CIA overthrow of Mossedeq in Iran. It's presumptuous of us to divide up Iraq or anywhere else into three parts. The Sunnis and Shia have been in conflict for centuries. It's their fight -- not ours. It will be brutal, but it will their brutality -- not ours.
It will disruptive to the world oil market, but let's make it an opportunity to get our energy policies in order.

What happens when you know the destination but have no clue of the road? That was the problem Suhaas Ahuja, Jim Sarbh and Ratnabali Bhattacharjee faced when they decided to make a play for children. "You try to tread every way possible to reach your target. That's what we did," Ratnabali says.
The trio wanted to make a play for kids. They had a theme in mind but no story at all. Yes, the actors and directors were ready to do a play without a story. "We just had a theme. We wanted to tell the kids that don't follow the herd mentality. Do not follow blindly what your parents or relatives tell you. Think. And do whatr your heart tells you to do. With this idea in mind we started jamming and came up with a plan," she says.
And hence a play was done. A much-bullied kid makes friends with a banana skin and an apple core that he finds in a dustbin where he has been dumped. His favourite teacher, who always saves him, finds him and helps him out yet again. However, this teacher soon disappears, and is replaced by a substitute teacher who belongs to a secret cult. Slowly, they take over the minds of the children with the adage that all food is good. Food is everything. Food is the only thing that one should think of at all times. Initially, this makes all the children ecstatic, as they no longer have any other lessons in school. All they do is eat delicious food. But the bullied kid is not convinced by this. What will he do?
"We began with no script, no story, but a theme, and a want to bring to everybody the sheer magic that theatre holds. A story well told can be told devoid of elaborate sets and a tempo full of props. We love theatre for its licence to imagine, the suspended belief, that crosses all borders and manages to hit you smack in the face," she says. The only props used in the play are three stools, hooplas and a brief case. We take our kids to be really dumb-head but the truth is they are very smart, and we devised this story keeping their smartness in mind," Ratnabali concludes.
When and Where: Today from noon at Prithvi Theatre

The way I did it was to loop through each at the same time and add the current value to a separate set for each of the lists. Also, check if the current element is already in the other list's set. I have no idea if this works though and if so, why? I know it finds a common element but does it find the first common element? I can't think of counter examples but I'm having trouble convincing myself it's definitely correct. Also, even if it is correct, is there a better way of finding the first common element?
Sorting the arrays will not work. By changing the order you will not be able to determine which element matches first.
The intersect solution will also not work. To use it you'd have to copy both arrays to a set class, which by definition does not preserve order.
Your answer is correct. I would consider using hashsets to reduce search time.
If the problem is to find the first element of list L1 which is also contained in L2, run through the elements of L1 one-by-one and check if the current element is in L2. The second test ("is element in L2") can be either done by a simple loop over all elements in L2. Or you put all elements of L2 into a hashset first, which can speed-up the process fairly.
Now it should be obvious that you can switch roles of L1 and L2 when you are looking for the first element in L2 which is also part of L1. And if you are looking for a common element from one of the lists which has the lowest positional index either in L1 or L2, run both steps described so far, and if you find two different elements, choose the one with the lowest index in either L1 or L2.
This approach has one disadvantage: if L1 and L2 are huge, and you have some non-common elements at the beginning of each lists, you have to read either the full list L1, L2 or both, even when there are some common elements among the first elements of L1 and L2. So the idea of your solution above is to use the following subsets:
with n running from 1 to
It should be obvious that when K1(n) and K2(n) are disjoint, and you are going from n to n+1, you only have to check if the new introduced
This approach will work fairly fast even when L1 and L2 have, for example, more than a million elements, but the first common element in both lists is among the "top ten" in both lists. It won't save you much when L1 and L2 do not have any element in common, but that is also true for any other approach.
This is a Set Intersect. In .NET, I think the LINQ Intersect() method could be used. Java and others should have their own.
Note that you'd need to be careful about whether the implementation preserves array index order. E.g. in .NET, calling First() might not return the first by array index order.
For the low-level implementation of a Set Intersect, I would need to consult an Algorithms book. :)
Say first array A has length n and second array B has length m.
Whichever is smaller in length, loop through it and put it's elements in a LinkedHashSet (it doesn't matter if it's sorted or unsorted). Then loop through the second array and query the set for that element. Wherever you find your first common element, break.
Space complexity: O(m) assuming m is the smaller or equal to n Time complexity: O(n)
In case if you want to keep track of the indices in both input arrays (for commonly occurring elements), use a LinkedHashMap and put the array index as value to the element key.

CEO of troubled Iowa brokerage in court, charged
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa A federal prosecutor says the chief executive of an Iowa-based brokerage firm carried out a $200 million fraud scheme that could land him in prison for years.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Deegan said Friday that Peregrine Financial Group Inc. CEO Russell Wasendorf Sr. could face "a wide range of criminal charges" for the scheme in which he allegedly falsified bank records to embezzle customer funds for 20 years.
Deegan made the comment during Wasendorf's initial federal court appearance in Cedar Rapids on charges that he made false statements to financial regulators. Another hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
Wasendorf appeared healthy during the hearing. He'd been hospitalized after attempting suicide outside the company's headquarters on Monday.
Investigators say he admitted in a suicide note to carrying out an elaborate embezzlement scheme.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The chief executive officer of an Iowa-based brokerage firm admitted in a suicide note that he carried out an elaborate fraud scheme in which he embezzled more than $100 million from customers over nearly two decades, federal investigators said Friday.
FBI agents arrested Russell Wasendorf, Sr., 64, of Cedar Falls on Friday. Federal prosecutors unsealed a criminal complaint charging the CEO of Peregrine Financial Group, Inc., with making false statements to regulators and released documents detailing a wide-ranging fraud scheme that apparently fooled colleagues, customers and regulators for years.
Wasendorf had been hospitalized at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics after attempting suicide outside the company's headquarters in Cedar Falls on Monday by hooking up a tube to his car's tailpipe.
His company filed for bankruptcy Tuesday, the same day the industry's top regulator filed civil fraud charges alleging the firm misused customer money and falsely claimed a bank account contained more than $220 million when it actually had about $5 million. The money in that account belonged to customers, and was supposed to be kept separate from Peregrine's own money.
Officials from another industry regulator, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, were on site at Peregrine's Cedar Falls offices to examine the firm Friday. The agency regulates broker-dealers that buy and sell stocks. The losses apparently are centered in the part of Peregrine that sold commodity options and futures.
An affidavit by FBI agent William Langdon, made public with the criminal complaint, says authorities found Wasendorf unresponsive Monday in his vehicle, along with a suicide note addressed to his wife and a signed statement in which he detailed his fraud.
"Through a scheme of using false bank statements I have been able to embezzle millions of dollars from customer accounts at Peregrine Financial Group, Inc. The forgeries started nearly twenty years ago and have gone undetected until now. I was able to conceal my crime of forgery by being the sole individual with access to the US Bank accounts held by PFG," he wrote in the note, according to court documents.
Wasendorf said that he faced "a difficult decision" when his access to capital was limited earlier in his career.

Koreas' rhetoric no match for surreal calm at DMZ
An attack at Panmunjom is unlikely, but a sudden North Korean strike in disputed waters in the Yellow Sea is certainly a possibility. Violence blamed on Pyongyang in 2010 killed 50 South Koreans.
Pyongyang's most recent threats follow U.N. sanctions imposed last week over its third nuclear test, which it conducted Feb. 12. North Korea says ongoing annual U.S.-South Korean military drills are invasion rehearsals.
Among other declarations, North Korea has said it will no longer recognize the armistice that ended the 1953 Korean War, though it has made such remarks before. The U.N. says the armistice cannot be abandoned unilaterally. The most obvious product of that agreement - the DMZ - seems unchanged.
Experts dismiss the North's threat to launch nuclear missiles against the United States, saying Pyongyang is years from developing the technology needed to pull that off. A direct attack on Seoul is also unlikely, as it would put the future of the ruling Kim dynasty at risk.
Recent threats are seen more as a way to rally support among North Korea's elite and military for leader Kim Jong Un and to scare Seoul and Washington into agreeing to talks that would eventually provide North Korea with aid and security guarantees.
Some South Koreans worry about rising hostility, but many more ignore or shrug off North Korean threats they've lived with for decades. And at the DMZ, some even find beauty in the broad strip of no-man's-land between the countries.
Baek Jong-moon and his wife, You Ga-yong, celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary by driving up Saturday to take a look from an observation point at North Korea and the wild, mostly unspoiled, late winter scenery.
"It's so peaceful here," Baek said. "I see no point worrying."
Hyung-jin Kim and Sam Kim in Seoul and Jiwon Shin in Imjingak contributed to this report.

Granbury's Bison elected Texas 4-H Council president
Granbury High School junior Colten Bison was elected president of the Texas 4-H Council, apparently making him the first student from Granbury to reach that position.
As president, Bison is the state representative of the Texas 4-H Council and will travel to various events throughout the year.
He is also responsible for making sure various 4-H projects throughout the state stay on track and are completed.
Bison started in 4-H at an early age.
"I started when I was 9 years old and in third grade," said Bison, now 16. "My dad was in it (4-H) when he was in school. I had a goat my first year and did not even know what I was doing."
Bison, however, knows what he's doing now.
"Colten is a very hard-working young man," said Marty Vahlenkamp, Texas AgriLife Extension agent for Hood County. "He has been a good role model to our young 4-H'ers and is always willing to help out. We are very proud of the leadership position that Colten has obtained. It is an honor for him, his family and the Hood County 4-H program. We know that he will be a great representative for the Texas 4-H program."
Bison is eager to travel throughout the state.
"I look forward to going and seeing the other parts of the state, see the variety of their projects and meeting people – learning things that will help me with college and my career," Bison said.
"This gives me a feeling of purpose."

New Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has been slammed by former Valencia star Vicente.
Vicente, who played 38 times for his country and is currently without a club, said Poyet reneged on an agreement to allow him to return to Spain as his four-year-old daughter had not settled in England.
After leaving Brighton this summer, Vicente is quoted by the Daily Express: "He is the worst person I have come across in football. For example, he deceived me when he said I could go and then he didn't let me. I was four months out injured and he wasn't capable of coming up and asking how I was.
"For me he is a selfish person, very egocentric. I say that because it's how I feel.
"I won't talk badly about my team-mates because they have been fantastic with me. What I think is unacceptable is that the manager makes fun of his players.
"I've seen things here that I have never seen in my career. If you miss with a shot in training, he makes fun. For me, that is unacceptable in football."

ELKHART LAKE, WI – With fuel economy showing up on even luxury-car buyers' radar screen and government regulations ratcheting upward the world over, it's no surprise Porsche AG engineers put as much focus on miles per gallon as performance in developing the new Panamera 4-door sedan.

The fascinating story of Four Oaks Farm, where for over 60 years Donald and Mary Hyde built the great Johnson Collection, now held at Harvard, was a feature of the JSA's 2014 seminar, held on July 5.
The paper was given by John Byrne, President of the JSA who corresponded with Mary Hyde for twenty years, and served with her as Governor of Dr Johnson's House. Last year at the Houghton Library, Harvard, he was given private access to the Hyde treasures.
Kate Burridge: "Magnificence of Promise": Johnson, advertising and the anodyne necklace
Members are reminded that subs for 2013-2014 are due on 1 July this year.
Following a decision at last year's AGM, a new category, Household Membership, will be introduced to cover more than one person living at the same address.
Fees for the coming year are therefore as follows:
The 2013 Annual Seminar of the JSA will be held on Saturday July 6 at the English Speaking Union, 146 West Toorak Road, South Yarra, starting at 11 am. Doors open at 10.30am for registration.
There will be a highly-varied presentation of papers and readings, following the recentlyintroduced pattern for the seminar program.
Included will be an introduction to the music of Frederick the Great, by Barbara Niven and two major papers, one on Edmund Burke by Barrie Sheppard and one on a history of the great American Johnsonians, Donald and Mary Hyde, by our President, John Byrne. The ever-popular Nick Hudson will give a talk on Johnson, a Child of the Revolution?
"Stub" papers will be devlivered by Bryan Reid, Barbara Niven and John Wiltsire, and readings by Geoff Brand and Bronwen Hickman.
A memorial by Bryan Reid
October 9, 2013 will mark the 20th anniversary of the foundation of The Johnson Society of Australia, at the end of a seminar at the Council of Adult Education, Melbourne.
The birth of the JSA was a somewhat prolonged, but enjoyable process. It had begun two years earlier, at a similar CAE seminar when I first met the three who helped provide the impetus for getting an Australian Johnson Society off the ground.
They were the late Dr Rusi Khan, then Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Monash University, Prof Clive Probyn, then Head of English at Monash and Dr John Wiltshire (now Professor Emeritus) then Senior Lecturer in English at Latrobe University.

California gubernatorial candidate distances herself from Santa Clarita Councilman.
In a story that just won't end for Councilman Bob Kellar, California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has separated herself from his endorsement, which Kellar voluntarily relinquished. This comes after Councilman Kellar has been dragged through the media over comments he made at an anti illegal immigration rally in Santa Clarita on January 16th.
On that day, Kellar lamented the financial and public safety burdens he believed to be a result of rampant illegal immigration. Kellar reminisced to the crowd about a time when he quoted Teddy Roosevelt before a Council meeting some years ago. Afterwards, Kellar said that he was approached by a few people who said "Bob, you sound like a racist." Kellar's reply was "That's good. If that's what you think I am because I happen to believe in America, I'm a proud racist, you're darn right I am." For more on Kellar's original comments, click here.
Since then, a media circus has erupted with one version selling on a state and national level, and uniquely different one reporting the local impacts in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Kellar has repeatedly said that he wished he used a different word, and that he is not a racist. At Tuesday night's City Council meeting, over 50 people addressed Kellar's comments and not a single one admitted to believing that Kellar was actually a racist. All other City Council members publicly agreed that they knew Kellar well enough to know that he was not a racist. Read more from that night by clicking here.
However sensationalism is infectious, and Whitman's actions have sparked another round of buzz, this time in an Associated Press (AP) story which claims Kellar has no regrets over the remark. However speaking with KHTS just days after the incident, Kellar said "I wish I would have not used that word, but that is the word that had been mentioned to me."
While the story has received some clarification in Santa Clarita, the political fallout from Kellar's words seems to continue to haunt him in the larger media arena.
Whitman is one of two major Republican candidates for California Governor. State Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner is also vying for the Republican ticket.

Re: The Impossible Girl: Who IS Clara Oswin Oswald?!?
Has anyone else looked into the significance of her names? Clara means--
Oh, that's right, we've been down that path a few times already.
I suspect Ms. Oswald is deliberately placed. She's there specifically to attract the Doctor's attention for some reason. Either to flush him out or to help him along in solving some greater mystery.
Of course, if the Great Intelligence is part of that mystery, maybe she's actually just a snowman. A mirror of the Doctor's great intellect and personality and doomed to simply "melt" at the end of her character arc.
There simply isn't enough information to go on so far. Clara is cute as a button (whatever that means -- I push buttons all day and I think of few of them as cute), but another hyperactive, super genius could get annoying fast. I'm looking forward to an exploration of the Oswald Mystery, but hope the Doctor's latest companion doesn't where out her welcome before we get to the end.
Twinkies are back. I knew they couldn't stay away from me for long.

Section 63G-3-305 requires each agency to review its rules within five years of each rule's original enactment, and then within five-year intervals. To comply with the review requirement, the agency must submit a "Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation" by the review due date. Otherwise, an unreviewed rule expires, becomes unenforceable, and is removed from the Utah Administrative Code. Reviews may be filed ANY TIME prior to the deadline.
When filing a "Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation," eRules requires that the agency submit a copy of the rule text. The rule text may not include underlining or strike-out.
Please do not wait until the due date to file a five-year review. If there is a problem filing on that day, you could lose a rule because the deadline was missed.
The Division sends quarterly e-mail notices to agencies of rules due for review. This list below is current through March 24, 2015, indicating all of the rules that are due for review during the remainder of 2015.
