If you're a Republican presidential candidate, getting an on-air thumbs-up on MSNBC from both a public-radio personality and a pro-abortion-rights activist is not exactly something to brag about to prospective donors or primary voters. But, alas, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-.S.C.) found himself on the receiving end of praise from EMILY's List communications director Jess McIntosh.

A cranky Lawrence O'Donnell on Monday lashed out at the "terrible" Antonin Scalia, deriding the Supreme Court justice for his "wacky," bad writing. O'Donnell wondered if the conservative is "now the Donald Trump of the Supreme Court?" O'Donnell hosted a panel discussion on Scalia's dissents over ObamaCare and gay marriage. The liberal host complained, "...These are just terrible bits that he is sticking into these opinions and terrible thinker. And they are combined, you know, in that wacky reference he made the other day."

On Tuesday, CNN's Jim Acosta asked President Obama about "what some people are calling 'your best week ever.'" Acosta played up that "you had two Supreme Court decisions supportive of the Affordable Care Act and of gay rights. You also delivered a speech down in Charleston that was pretty warmly received." The correspondent then underlined that 'it seems that you've built up some political capital for the remaining months of your presidency." He asked, "I'm curious, how you want to use it? What hard things do you want to tackle at this point?"

"Crucial days in the history of the United States" was how Telemundo, the Spanish-language sister network of NBC and MSNBC, titled a recent evening news feature that turned out to be a virtual tribute to President Obama's "legacy of social change."

In a column at ForeignPolicy.com, a former Obama administration defense official who "served as a counselor to the U.S. defense undersecretary for policy from 2009 to 2011" has asked: "Can Gay Marriage Defeat the Islamic State?"
Rosa Brooks, who "is a law professor at Georgetown University," is serious. Her earnestness and deep ignorance are especially troubling, because it's clear that there are many people who "think" just like her who are still in the Obama administration and at the State Department (See: John Kerry's slow-motion sellout in Iranian negotiations).

Introducing a segment on Tuesday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer proclaimed: "The tragic mass shooting in Charleston has renewed questions about gun control and the gun culture in this country." He then led into a report by left-wing MSNBC correspondent Ronan Farrow, who the network "sent out to meet the new face of gun ownership."

Yes, there are still communists in Greece, and many support the possible Greek exit (or "Grexit") from the eurozone.
CNBC's chief international correspondent Michelle Caruso-Cabrera said on June 30 she "found it hard to believe" there were still communists in Greece, then played an interview with one of "many" communist protesters at an anti-euro rally. She challenged the protester to explain why he thought communism would "work now," given its failure in countries like the USSR and Cuba. He responded by blaming the communist "bureaucratic elite" for taking power "back from the people."

The latest confirmation that Erick Erickson's original warning at RedState that "you will be made to care" about the legalization of same-sex "marriage" even if you think it doesn't affect you comes from Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin.
On Saturday, the day after the Supreme Court's related ruling, Baldwin was on MSNBC's "Up w/ Steve Kornacki" program. Baldwin was asked, "Should the bakery have to bake the cake for the gay couple getting married? Where do you come down on that?" The short version of her answer: "Damn right they should."

Can kids explain gay marriage? Late night host Jimmy Kimmel set to find that out -- with a generous laugh track included.
For Jimmy Kimmel Live June 29, the host began by stating the difficulty parents faced in explaining what gay marriage is to their kids. "One of the common arguments you hear is 'How do I explain this to my kids?'" he stated. "And it's a good question. At the very least, it's a fair question. You wonder if children are sophisticated enough to wrap their head around something like this."

New on June 29: Keith Olbermann, formerly of MSNBC, took to ESPN to equate the Washington Redskins football team with the "same kind of genocide, the same kind of persecution and mockery" as the Confederate flag represents.

The current headline at a June 29 New York Times story by Peter Eavis, also appearing on the front page of today's print edition, is "Loads of Debt: A Global Ailment With Few Cures."
But the last portion of the story's web address is "... trillions-spent-but-crises-like-greeces-persist.html." That's because the original headline, the one used at the Times's Twitter account — was "Trillions Spent But Crises Like Greece Persist." Of course without admitting it, Eavis's writeup is an ode to the worldwide failure of Keynesian economics — a term which naturally never appears in any form — and the closed minds of those who don't understand why shoveling vast sums of money created out of thin air into the financial system is only marginally helpful in the short-term, and serious harmful, over the long-term.

ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday used Chris Christie's presidential announcement as an opportunity to remind viewers just how unpopular the Republican looks. Yet, co-anchor George Stephanopoulos and guest Matt Dowd ignored the fact that Christie was ultimately cleared for Bridgegate, the main reason for his faltering polling. CBS and NBC mentioned the scandal, but not the clearing of the governor.
By Jeffrey Meyer | June 30, 2015 | 11:43 AM EDT
During a discussion with Bloomberg Politics' John Heilemann on Tuesday, CBS This Morning played up how Chris Christie is damaged goods ahead of his 2016 presidential announcement. In introducing the segment, co-host Norah O'Donnell made sure to point out that "[n]ational polls show Christie's support is in single digits. Only 30 percent of voters in his home state approve of Christie's performance as governor."
By Matthew Balan | June 30, 2015 | 11:39 AM EDT
On Monday, Fusion senior editor Felix Salmon echoed New York Times writer Mark Oppenheimer's call for the end of the tax exemption of religious institutions, but took it one step further: he called for the specific targeting of churches that "remain steadfastly bigoted on the subject" of same-sex "marriage." Salmon contended on Fusion.net that "if your organization does not support the right of gay men and women to marry, then the government should be very clear that you're in the wrong. And it should certainly not bend over backwards to give you the privilege of tax exemption."

Originally we ventured to the Urban Lights one evening after I tried my first Korean BBQ (which is amazing I might add), it was full of people and the atmosphere was electric.. sorry I just had to. I'd seen it in people's vlogs on YouTube and I'd always wanted to check it out for myself!
Got this snap of me there that night, but I knew I wanted to return during the day to get an outfit shot.
Luckily when we went there was no one there in the day! I thought this classic outfit would be set off well against the starkness of the lights. I love the mix of chic style from the dress and my hair up paired with the casual yet clean look of the trainers. Since I got those Nikes I wear them SO MUCH! At first I wasn't sure what they'd go with, but they are so easy to style!
Are you into styling up trainers this season?

I love outdoor activities, especially walks. I could probably walk for miles. I love going out to new places and trying new foods and experiences. Dancing is a new found passion of mine; I love going out and dancing the night away!
The last thing I read (besides those fricken 50 shades of grey novels; if you don't admit it women you're cowards) was a book called "The Fault in Our Stars" I highly recommend it!

Gear Question
I'm looking for skins for my armada vjj's...
I'm looking for skins for my armada vjj's 175. 126-136-115-133-123 mm. Would I want to get the 140mm? And would these fit well onto the full twin tip rocker style of the vjj?
Bill Porreca
I would definitely get something that would be wider than 135mm especially because that's the width of ski behind the ball of your foot. From your toes back is where most of the friction comes when going up hill. So if behind that foot is 133mm I would at least want to make sure thats carpet to carpet, especially with the VJJ, that's the part on the snow most likely and the smaller 123mm tail is actually rockered off the snow. The tip attachment on these can sometimes cause trouble with a fat tip, that's why they came out with the http://www.backcountry.com/g3-alpinist-climbing-skins, their tip connector is self adjusting to any tip width.

Midnight in Paris: Fine French whine
Midnight in Paris finds Woody Allen in two good places: a foreign locale and with deep thoughts.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Midnight in Paris
(out of 4)
Starring Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Michael Sheen and Kathy Bates. Written and directed by Woody Allen. 94 minutes. Opens June 3 at the Varsity and Sheppard Grande. PG
A foreign destination always seems a tonic for Woody Allen. So does the increasingly rare occasion when he fully engages with an idea.
Both are happily evident in Midnight in Paris, Allen's thoughtful new comedy. It is indeed set in the City of Lights, which cinematographers Darius Khondji and Johanne Debas depict with the rapture of lovers. Speed-dialing your travel agent may be your immediate post-screening response.
But the movie is more than delicious travelogue. Allen is musing on the folly of nostalgia, which seduces us with the thought that life just had to be better in the past.
It's an affliction that has struck hard upon Gil (Owen Wilson). He's a successful Pasadena screenwriter — he calls himself "a Hollywood hack" — who would rather pen novels, as the tattered work-in-progress he carries with him attests. He yearns for the romance of the Paris of the 1920s, the Jazz Age, when he presumes the words flowed as easily as champagne.
To Gil's vivid imagination, such writers and artists as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali mingled in bohemian bliss, an apotheosis of culture reached only during that brief shining era.
As luck would have it, he gets to walk the same cobblestoned streets as his heroes, on a trip to France bankrolled by his future father-in-law. Gil is accompanying his fiancée Inez (Rachel McAdams), a philistine in designer attire who sees little poetry in Monet landscapes, rainy avenues or foreign locales.
For Inez, Paris is simply a fun place to shop: "I could never live outside the United States," she asserts.
She's bereft of culture, and to Gil's dismay, prefers to get her knowledge second-hand from her friend Paul (Michael Sheen), a Sorbonne intellectual who also happens to be in Paris. A bearded blowhard, Paul isn't shy about flaunting his knowledge, even to the point of correcting a tour guide (coolly played by Carla Bruni, wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy).
When Paul and his wife (Nina Arianda) suggest Gil and Inez join them for evening carousing, Gil begs off, saying he'd rather stroll the night streets alone.
He wanders off his intended path, and, as the clock strikes midnight, is greeted by the sound of a vintage Peugeot and curiously dressed partiers who seem of another age. They beckon Gil to join them.
Midnight in Paris takes a distinct turn toward the fantastical at this juncture, and it's probably best not to say too much more about the plot. For once, the trailer hasn't given away the game.
Suffice to say that the clock tolls 12, but also runs backwards. The film hearkens back to two earlier Allen pictures, The Purple Rose of Cairo and Zelig, in the way it slides between various states of reality. It succeeds because Allen's muse is completely activated, unlike last year's time-waster You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, in which thought ran no deeper than the title joke.
A few fine performances need to be recognized: Marion Cotillard as a woman with man problems and her own nostalgia issues; Kathy Bates as a writer of strong opinions and obliging hospitality; Adrien Brody as a painter with a hilarious sense of the absurd.
Best of all, though, is Wilson's take on the classic Allen protagonist, right down to the nebbish attire of checked shirts and khaki pants. Allen says he chose Wilson for the lead role because he considers him to be his polar opposite, but the claim is as fanciful as Midnight in Paris.
But Wilson does bring his own slacker appeal to the role, making him a more agreeable Everyman than the neurotic Allen prototype.
Gil is undeniably a dreamer. But who can blame him, when he's surrounded by a city whose glittery ghosts refuse to yield to dull modern reality?

Phone different Podcast 21 (Wait-a-Thon)
This week Mike and Dieter review all the BAD news about the iPhone 3G and take a look at the growing community in the iPhone Blog forums!
Also, this is important: the iPhone Blog and (by extension) all y'all iPhone lovers have been called out by CrackBerry.com. Take a listen to this "Hit me on my BlackBerry" song, note the bits 2/3rds of the way through knocking TiPb. Anybody up for mixing down a pro-iPhone song? Let us know the comments (Wait-a-Thon time!) and if there's enough interest we'll make a contest out of it.
Alternately, some comments counteracting all our doom and gloom in the podcast would also be appreciated.
- To Upgrade or Not To Upgrade?
- Full price may be available in the US, we bet it'll be hefty given what AT&T shells out to Apple for each activation. All in all, the $199 price is nice, but it is a sign Apple failed to revolutionize the industry
- No Tethering for iPhone 3G
- Canadian Plans bad, well actually not that bad, ...except we're just not sure, oh wait, yes we are
- TomTom is coming, but then again the SDK Agreement prohibits it, so maybe TomTom isn't coming, except that TomTom could be coming. At any rate, AT&T is apparently making their own GPS app, which could confirm our worst fears.
- RAZR users ditch for iPhone
- iPhone 2G is gone from stores
- Are enough developers getting in on the iPhone action?
- iPhone nano rumors won't die
- iClone: Instinct panned by Walt, dropped in price, and shockingly well received by Dieter
Micah writes in:
I don't know if this is the right email address to send this to, but I was wondering if the new IPhone that most people are expecting at WWDC has passed through the FCC? Is it possible for Apple to keep that information confidential? The original IPhone passed the FCC on May 17 of last year, which is more than a month before it was released. If you could answer my question, or pass it along to someone who can, I would Appreciate it.

Phone different Podcast 21 (Wait-a-Thon)
As always, another good podcast. Much appreciated.
Has it come to this are the blackberry addicts starting a throw down what's next a dance off. I feel like I'm in some bad movie that only a teenage girl would watch. And no I'm not talking about sex in the city I was refering to those stupid dance/ rap/ cheer off kind of films. I loved the podcast though ;)
Great podcast. Thanks guys.
Found the podcast less than a month ago, and I've been loving it. Second, please don't sink to those depths. As someone who values art, I would hate to have both the iPhone and the music world besmirched by an "iPhone song". They can do that with the Blackberry, because God knows they need to do something to keep their spirits up, but if I want to be cheered up as an iPhone user, all I have to do is turn it on. ;)
Guys, I'm sorry that the Jesus phone didn't change the industry. The cell phone industry sucked before Apple made a phone and will continue to suck for as long as it exists. Pray that WiMax is truly different so that in 2 years after your AT&T contract for the 3G iPhone expires you'll have somewhere to go that sucks maybe just a little bit less.
Great podcast as always. Just ignore the Crackberrians -- they have enough to worry about thanks to Android and the recent Symbian announcement.
DUDE! how could they call out TiPB in the song. DONT HATE THE PLAYER HATE THE GAME. the game that blackberry is losing.
Just finished listening to the podcast. Sure was a lot of bad news this time! You guys have lots of good content and always find news items that I somehow miss.
Great podcast. What's a Blackberry?
its not called a Blackberry its a black BURRRY... according to the song
Great show guys. Thanks for all the great info without all the hype.
Haha, a dance-off like in Zoolander? Blackb(u)rry vs. the Iphone? Great podcast guys, per usual.
Good podcast as usual.
The only thing I can really add is that I think you're getting a bit too worried about the developer thing. I personally think the current limit is based around the fact that it is still beta. Like you briefly mentioned in the podcast, I really do think the floodgates will open when the App Store is official and 2.0 is on all devices. I also think they are denying certain companies because they already had someone admitted that brought the same types of apps and they don't want to flood the store with repeat apps in the beginning.
I could be wrong, but that is what I think is what is going to happen.
I completely agree. At first I thought the iPhone would be different when it comes to carriers and bills, but not anymore. It's just really sad where the iPhone is going. I just wish that Apple had their own cell phone towers!
No BlackBURRY fo' me... Thanks for a great podcast yo!
Need a new Tagline, here's one: Where Blackberrys are served for amusement

Many died in the night and early morning as the rain in some areas came so quickly people did not have time to evacuate. The Serrana region north of Rio received about a month's rainfall in 24 hours, Reuters reports. Rescue workers attempted to find survivors in homes buried by mudslides. "I believe the number of dead is much more than was announced so far," said Rio state environment secretary Carlos Minc, according to Reuters. "Many people died while they were sleeping." The flooding also left about 75,000 homes without power, reports the Wall Street Journal. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who was sworn into office this year, promised 780 million reais ($460 million) in reconstruction funds for the areas devastated by the disaster. In the hardest hit area, Teresopolis, at least 130 people died and four firefighters were buried alive during a rescue attempt. "I saw six bodies on my street," Teresopolis resident Antonio Venancio told Reuters by telephone. "We just don't know what to do in the face of something so horrible."Follow GlobalPost on Twitter: @GlobalPost.

Steel City Loop

The forecasters have predicted thunderstorms this afternoon, but as I mount my loaded bike I only see blue skies and white puffy clouds. I left for this overnight tour from the "south side" of Pittsburgh, a diverse area that attracts all kinds. My plan is to circumnavigate the south hills of Pittsburgh utilizing a variety of rail-trails and only a minimal amount of trafficked pavement (about 10% of the 90 mile route).

Ohiopyle State Park: Something for Everyone
Posted by Dave Battista | Tags: Bed & Breakfast , Pennsylvania , Rail-Trails , Routes & Rides
The Ohiopyle area is a favorite stop for cyclists riding the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP), whether heading to Pittsburgh or D.C. Ohiopyle is also a favorite day trip destination for paddlers, hikers, and bicyclists in the western Pennsylvania area. Surprisingly, overnight biking opportunities are often overlooked. Ohiopyle State Park is a great starting point for a variety of overnight options. Here is brief description of two such tours, one relaxed and the other more challenging. These two rides only scratch the surface of the touring possibilities in the Laurel Highlands.
Passing High Point : A Three-Day Ride from Philadelphia to Port Jervis
Posted by Jerome Lissmann | Tags: New Jersey , New York , Pennsylvania , Routes & Rides
For many cyclists in the Northeast, there was no off-season this year. With the mildest winter in over a decade, we simply had no reason to stop riding. These unusual climatic conditions coincided with the final spring break of my college years, leading me to escape the urban confines of Philadelphia and seek tranquility (maybe even some guidance), cycling along the Delaware River. My friend Arthur joined me for the roughly 150-mile journey north.
Whoopie Pies for Breakfast in Pennsylvania Dutch Country
Posted by Lisa Maloney | Tags: Bed & Breakfast , Pennsylvania , Routes & Rides
The next time I drink a glass of milk, eat a soy burger, or bite into an ear of corn, I will think of beautiful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This area (also called Pennsylvania Dutch Country), known for its fertile soil and strong farming industry, generates food, feed, and fiber via livestock-raising, dairy and poultry farms, and acres of corn, soybeans, and alfalfa. A large concentration of Amish and Mennonite farmers live here and work the land.
Le Tour de Villes
Posted by Mike Diehm | Tags: Cheap , Pennsylvania , Routes & Rides
I have friends who live in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in the Tulpehocken Valley. I live near Lancater, about 35 miles from their very peaceful place, situated on a road that might see five cars a day. Great bicycling! I began these weekend rides about three and a half years ago, following two major back surgeries in a year. I have been riding all my life, but after that I just wanted to get my legs under me again, and explore the possibilities of my dream of long-distance, self-supported touring. My friends readily agreed to allow me to stay overnight in one of their spare bedrooms, and I am very grateful for their hospitality.

This has been a long first 100 days. The government's sweeping electoral success brought with it high expectations of big changes in the direction of economic policies and reforms. So far, that hasn't happened. Instead, we have seen a remarkable continuity with the previous government's policies and worldview. To be sure, such expectations were largely created by us. For its part, the government has consistently argued — both in its election manifesto and in its first budget — that the economic woes of the last three years are a result of the previous government's dysfunctional decision-making, that they did not stem from a wrong reading of the underlying drivers of the economy and consequently, wrong policies and reforms. In keeping with this belief, the new government has proffered better governance and more efficient decision-making to turn the economy around. We, on the other hand, had presumed that the new administration would decisively break away from the policies of the past to usher in a Margaret Thatcher/ Ronald Reagan moment in India.
Perhaps such a breakaway will happen over time, but restoring faith in government was the need of the hour when the new administration took office. This has been done by controlling government communications to remain on message, centralising decision-making and speeding up implementation. It was the last bit that startled the market, as almost all the policies implemented are those planned either by the previous government or by the NDA when it was in power in the early 2000s. These include liberalising FDI rules in select sectors; carrying on with the same old problematic PPP arrangements in infrastructure; continuing with the extant food security and other subsidy programmes; sticking with the unique identification system for direct cash transfers; pushing for the opening of bank accounts to bring the unbanked into the formal financial system — incidentally, proposed by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the 2012 Independence Day address — and keeping to the previous government's approach to WTO rules on farm subsidies.
Of course, there have been some differences, such as a more active management of grain reserves to better control food inflation and speeding up environmental clearances for projects. But nothing dramatic: no breaking up of PSUs, no mass-scale privatisation, no unfettered liberalisation of labour laws. Instead, the government seems focused on trying to restructure PSUs, turning these into efficient organisations and weaning them off the budget. Much like what the prime minister did when he was in charge of Gujarat. Ironically, this belief in the power of the public sector is a strong reminder that the legacy of Nehruvian socialism is alive and cuts across political affiliations. Disbanding the Planning Commission, whose wings had already been clipped — there was widespread consensus that the institution had outlived its role — isn't really a sign of a strategic shift …continued »

What's a "three-wheeled" motorcycle?
A three-wheeled motorcycle – also called a motor tricycle - is designed with either a single front wheel and two rear wheels, or two front wheels and a single rear wheel.
If you take a road test on a three-wheeled motorcycle, you will get a class 'M' licence with an 'M' condition. With this licence, you will only be able to drive a three-wheeled motorcycle.
Motor tricycles must:
- travel on three wheels, which are in contact with the ground
- have straddled seating for the driver
- use a handle bar for steering controls
- have no more than four seats
- have a gross vehicle weight of 1,000 kg or less
- not have a structure partly or fully enclosing the driver and passenger except in front of the driver and the seat backrest
Some vehicles with three wheels, because of the close spacing of its front wheels, are considered to be a two-wheeled open motorcycle by Transport Canada. If you take a road test with one of these vehicles, you can get a full, rather than limited, M class driver's licence.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
If Fortescue Metals Group's troubles in September sent a strong signal that Australia's mining investment boom was losing steam, then its recent decision to restart development of the Kings iron ore deposit in the Pilbara is likely a sign of better things to come.
Company boards are entering 2013 still reluctant to dig too deeply into their pockets to fund new projects, as mining costs continue to rise and the Australian dollar stays strong. But they will increasingly find it hard to ignore the encouragement given by rising commodity prices, meaning Australia should see a rebound in mining investment before the year ends, says Ernst & Young's global mining and metals leader Mike Elliott.
Healthy margins on iron ore production should see these projects come out of the blocks fastest, while China's need to import copper for infrastructure projects like an expansion of its electricity grid will underpin new project signoffs, Mr. Elliott predicts.
Australia's shares may be about to start 2013 on a high but the local listings market is expected to remain in the doldrums.
Companies in Australia raised only US$865 million from 36 initial public offerings in the 11 months to the end of November, down 63% in volume and 29% in value compared with full year 2011, according to data from Ernst & Young.
On the face of it, mergers and acquisitions is a ruthless business dominated by sharp-suited investment bankers. But Ernst & Young's Managing Partner of Financial Services in Asia Pacific, says the industry is about to change and may soon look more like online dating than Oliver Stone's classic film of Wall Street.
Keith Pogson argues that advances in technology and increasing regulation are fundamentally reshaping investment banks' business models as their traditional functions, such as broking, become far less profitable. Even in the complex world of M&A, where investment banks usually act as matchmakers on deals, he said only the most expert advisers will be able to make a profit in the brave new worlds envisioned by the U.S. Dodd Frank Act and its equivalents overseas.
"People have these dating products where, my understanding is, they have a list of criteria, then they match the criteria using computer generated matches," he told Deal Journal Australia. "Could you end up doing online dating for companies?"
It's not just Australian mining companies that should worry about a slowdown in Chinese demand, contractors will cop it too.
Australia's mining services sector faces a jump in distressed business numbers and merger and acquisition deals over the next six months as miners defer projects and rein in costs amid falling commodity prices, according to Ernst & Young.
Australia's multi billion-dollar mining investment boom has been losing momentum in recent months as commodity markets weakened at a time when the cost of building and running mines was rising sharply. This has prompted some producers, including BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, to alter or defer plans for projects until market conditions improve.

This review is from: HooToo HT-UH004 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 7-Port Hub + 1-Port 5V/2A Charging Port, Include 5V/4A Power adapter and USB 3.0 Cable
Pros: This was a surprisingly good buy. I just purchased a new Mac Pro, and even though it has four USB 3.0 ports, that's not enough for all my peripherals. In the past, when I plugged peripherals into my USB hubs, some of them just wouldn't work unless plugged directly into the computer. This hub will work with anything I plug into it. So far, all my peripherals are USB 2.0 except for my Lexus card reader, which I just bought. Unbelievably, it transferred 9 gigabytes from my Nikon D800 in just under two minutes.
Cons: None. I like everything about it.
Other Thoughts: Obviously, it doesn't seem to work with all computers. I've noticed from reading many user reviews that those who have the biggest problems with a product either have an older computer or a laptop. Under these conditions, I would not buy the HooToo, although you could always send it back if it doesn't work. If you have a fairly new desktop computer, your chances of this hub working are multiplied, though nothing in life is for sure . . .READ FULL REVIEW

The Department of Veterans Affairs reported that nearly 4800 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans were homeless or in a federal program aimed at keeping them off the streets.
The number among this generation falling on hard times is rising sharply. The government is counting on community groups to help with the rising number of homeless veterans.
A group of veterans at First Wesleyan Church on Helmer Road have formed "Vets Helping Vets." They pick up good, used furniture donated by concerned homeowners.
In the past two years, they have supplied furniture to 175 veterans who were given a voucher from the government for an empty apartment. Some have slept on the floor until Larry Bales and Vets Helping Vets came and gave them enough free furniture to set up a home.
To donate furniture, call Larry Bales at 420-7638.
Behnke Trucking donated two semi trailers, but they are full and it is difficult to get at the furniture at the right time for a needed distribution. A warehouse would help facilitate this process.
In 2013, the homeless veterans in Battle Creek have grown to over 350. Many veterans have moved into the area because of the VA hospital. The recent response to the homeless reported in the Battle Creek Enquirer is encouraging, but much more is needed.
Homes owned by the city could be renovated for homeless vets. More Section 8 housing is needed for vets waiting for an apartment. The new Silver Star apartments on the VA property is already full.
Vets Helping Vets is seven retired vets who give many hours and they need help. Furniture, a warehouse, and housing are ways we can support those who have served us and our country. Let's not let them down!

I use the older 28 and 35 Nikon PC lenses and have noticed that they are hard to focus when shifted because the center of the focus screen starts to black out.
So, maybe it has something to do with a slightly lower light level, or, the angle of the light when it is striking the focus sensors?
I would think that longer lenses such as your 85 would have less of this issue. If the focus assist works, use it.

A Charleston-based nonprofit plans to continue its work in one North Charleston school and expand to its first rural site with the help of federal grants announced Monday.
WINGS for Kids was among 10 recipients statewide to receive a piece of $1.7 million to create community learning centers, or sites that provide academic and enrichment activities to students before and after school and during the summer.
WINGS plans to use the money to continue teaching children social and emotional skills in an after-school setting at North Charleston Elementary, as well as expand to rural Main Street Elementary in Florence 3.
"It makes it easier to operate with this money," said Bridget Laird, chief executive officer of WINGS. "If we did not receive this money, we'd find it elsewhere ... but it's clearly a big source of funding that is extremely helpful."
Three Lowcountry schools were among 12 statewide that will benefit from the federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant. North Charleston Elementary, Burke High in Charleston and St. George Middle in St. George each will receive up to $200,000 annually for up to four years as part of the grant program.
School districts as well as public and private organizations can apply for the funds. The grant for Burke High will be administered by Charleston County School District, and it will help provide Science, Technology, Engineering and Math instruction and enrichment activities, homework help and mentoring for 80 students in sixth through eighth grades, according to the school district
The grant for St. George Middle will be overseen by Dorchester 4 school district.
WINGS announced last week it had won a $2.5 million, three-year grant from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation that will help it grow to 16 schools in four communities. The nonprofit already works in four Charleston County schools, including North Charleston Elementary, and it grew last school year to two schools in Atlanta.
Its newest site at rural Main Street Elementary in South Carolina will be open to 100 of the school's more than 350 students, and those who have academic, behavioral or family challenges will have first priority to enroll.
Laird said she hopes the program will transform the community by making a difference in students' lives as well as building leaders in the community who can stay and continue giving back.

Montana - Right of Disposition, 2009
2/3/2009 - The Montana Legislature has introduced a bill clarifying who has the right to make decisions about funeral arrangements. The trouble is, the bill only lets a citizen make his wishes legally binding through a prepaid funeral contract! Thirty-nine other states have personal preference and designated agent laws that allow people to put their wishes in writing, and appoint someone to carry them out. Montana should follow suit, instead of relying on the "next-of-kin" devolution; a recipe for disaster in the family courts if relatives can't agree. Click here to read HB 386. FCA will send a letter of testimony to the House Business and Labor Committee before its February 9, 2009 meeting.

Comment - Can SPI Group Unhook Stolichnaya From Gay Boycott Threat?
By Andy Morton | 26 July 2013
Russian vodka - or is it?
The gay community in the US has, understandably, reacted angrily to new laws in Russia that outlaw so-called "homosexual propaganda" and gay adoption. A number of gay bars in Chicago have stopped selling Stolichnaya vodka, while bloggers incensed with Russia's actions have called for a boycott of the brand; a popular spirit in gay nightspots in the country.
The only problem is that the Stolichnaya on sale in the US is not as Russian as the country's homosexuals believe it to be. Sensing a PR catastrophe, the head of SPI Group, which owns the international rights to Stoli, yesterday (25 July) wrote an open letter to the global LGBT community decrying the Russian Government's moves.
Val Mendeleev was also at pains to point out that SPI is based in Luxembourg and bottles Stolichnaya in Latvia. "The Russian Government has no ownership interest or control over the Stoli brand," Mendeleev said. You could, of course, argue that Mendeleev's claims are slightly disingenuous as Stolichnaya is made with 100% Russian ingredients and the brand's marketing makes ample use of its heritage in the country.
But, there is another reason why SPI would want to distance itself from the Russian Government - the pair are still in dispute with each other over the global rights to Stolichnaya. It is a complex tale, but it boils down to SPI acquiring Stolichnaya for an astonishingly low US$300,000 in 1997.
A few years later, the Russian Government sought to get it back, claiming SPI had used the chaos of the country's immediate post-Soviet years to snap up Stolichnaya (and 42 other brands) for a knockdown fee.
The battle between the two proved so fierce that Russian authorities issued an arrest warrant for a major SPI shareholder.
As it stands now, Stolichnaya has the international rights to Stolichnaya while original owner Soyuzplodoimport maintains the Russian rights.
But, while Stolichnaya is trying to wriggle off the boycott hook, what of more-identifiably Russian vodka makers? Russian Standard last month finally took control of Central European Distribution Corporation and wasted no time in launching CEDC's Green Mark Vodka in the US.
Green Mark is Polish but its new association with Russian Standard would put it in danger of any boycott. That's not something any brand would seek, and could be especially damaging for one just starting out in a new territory.

Five Ways We Can Know God Exists--and What These Ways Tell Us About Him
Note: This is part one of a series of five posts about God. These were originally written as an RCIA presentation about God the Father. These posts are in an expanded form, and the presentation as given does not necessarily follow the posts exactly. I was constrained in the presentation itself to keep the time to under about 45 minutes or so, and to be somewhat conversational (sine it was their first formal session). Here is the full written transcript, which goes beyond what I did in the presentation.
In their Handbook for Christian Apologetics, Professors Peter Kreeft and Ronald Tacelli (S.J.) present twenty different arguments for the existence of God. These range from physical to psychological, and form historical to relatively modern: and different of these ways of knowing that God exists will be helpful to different types of people. I want to begin today by outlining briefly a few of these as a sort of extension of the last two of your reflection questions, because each of these arguments also tells us something about God.
The first of these arguments, which traces itself back to Saint Anselm in the 11th century, is called the ontological argument. "Ontological" is a word which basically means "study of being"; thus, there are two ontolological categories—"being" and "non-being;" or "existence" and "non-existence" (there is a slight difference between these two pairs, but this is not important here). The argument itself runs like this: God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived (or thought). The greatest thing of which not only you, but anybody, can conceive is God. Now, existence is greater than non-existence, that is real and concrete existence outside of the mind is greater than existence in the mind. Therefore, God must exist. There may be some holes in this argument as such, and in turn some modifications of it—but the real point here is that God is not only the greatest thing or Being which does exist, but the greatest thing or Being which can exist. He is therefore necessarily perfect.
The second argument which I would like to mention is the Kalam cosmological argument. This argument is fairly simple: it has three steps. The first step is that everything which begins to exist must have a cause; second, the world—indeed the universe (cosmos)—began to exist, so third it must have a cause. That cause is God. This reveals two more things about God: that He caused the universe to come into existence—that is, that He is the Creator of the universe—and that moreover He is eternal (which is a part of His being perfect), meaning that He has always existed. Thus, we cannot say that there was a time when God did not exist.
The next argument is the argument from aesthetics. This is one which you either see or you don't, as Professor Kreeft puts it: there is the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, therefore God exists. This is an argument from the existence of beauty, and there are corresponding arguments from truth and from goodness (morality). Essentially, these arguments mean that beauty, goodness, and truth must have some objective and transcendent source—and that source is not Mr Bach, despite using his music as an example of beauty which moves us outside of ourselves. Rather, truth, goodness, and beauty must all point back towards their Source, which is God. Let me say that again: God is not only the highest summit of beauty, goodness, and truth; He is also the source of all truth, goodness, and beauty. We might say that He is, for example, the highest, perfect, and complete Good.
The fourth argument is the argument from miracles. A miracle is essentially the suspension of the normal laws of nature; or, better yet, it is the deference of nature to supernature, of the natural to the supernatural. Ultimately, it means the subordination of creation to its Creator. This might be in the form of signs and wonders of miraculous cures as at Lourdes or of the miracles found in the Gospels; or it might be—and often is—something much less impressive on a physical scale, the "still small voice" which speaks to us in our hearts, the answering of a prayer. What I will say is that there are many miracles which have been documented and corroborated with eyewitnesses—including "hostile" eyewitnesses; and that although not every one of those eyewitnesses has had a conversion experience or even accepted it as a miracle (though they can think of no other explanation), there have also been some conversions which may be attested to the miraculous. I will also say that those who discount miracles in general (which does not mean any one particular miracle) must ultimately do so on the unsubstantiated and rather dogmatic conviction that the laws of nature cannot be suspended nor alter their course, to summarize the late Fr Stanley L Jaki. The importance of miracles to God is that He is not merely a cosmic watchmaker Who made the cosmos and then ignored it, or even Who sits back and merely observes it; but rather that He takes so much an interest in it that He Himself interacts with it directly at times, and has even entered it in Person.
My final way of knowing that God is exists is called the argument from contingency. This argument is possibly the toughest, but it is also one of my personal favorites. It states that there are two types of things which exists—those which are "contingent" and those which are not contingent but rather "necessary." A thing or being is contingent if it does not necessarily exist. For example, there was a time before I was conceived when I did not exist, and there will be a time after I die when I do not exist in this world. However, my non-existence does not mean—contrary to the solipsists—that the world will all go away. I am therefore a contingent being. Moreover, the whole world could stop existing tomorrow, but the universe would continue (albeit with a much smaller number of inhabitants): the world is also contingent. Indeed, this same thing can be said about every single object in the universe. If Alpha Centauri were to vanish tomorrow, we wouldn't know about it for a little over 4 years, and we would continue just fine not only until then, but also thereafter. The Andromeda Galaxy could have vanished a hundred thousand years ago, and we would be none-the-wiser right now.
However, all of these things must take their existence from something or Someone. They do not receive their existence from any other thing which may or may not exist, and certainly they cannot get this existence from themselves or from each other collectively. Rather, they are given existence from outside themselves, by That which must exist necessarily of Itself. That Source is God, Who alone must necessarily exist. This tells us that God's essence is also His existence—a point which is sometimes called "divine simplicity." God is simple, that is, He is not divisible into parts. He is His existence, but He is also His power, He is His Goodness, He is His Wisdom, etc. It tells us something else, which is that the act of creation was not a one-time thing, but something which is ongoing; God not only creates the world in the sense that an artist creates a painting, but in the sense that an orchestra creates a symphony. As soon as the orchestra stops, the symphony fades away and ceases to exist.
Here, then, are some ways which we can know that God exists. Each way sheds some light on Who He is, on His Nature and Essence as well as His Existence. He is Perfect, meaning that He is the greatest Being (or thing) of which we can conceive; nothing greater can be conceived, even in theory. He is perfectly simple so that their are no divisions within Him. Therefore, His essence is His existence, meaning that He is that which cannot not exist--or He is that which must exist if anything exists. He is Goodness, Truth, and Beauty, which means that all goodness, truth, and beauty is derived from Him. He is the Creator, not only in the sense of creating the universe at some time in the past, but also in the sense that He continues to create it now, so that it receives its continued existence from Him. Finally, He does at times intervene in the normal course of nature with His miracles, both the big ones and the small ones--meaning that He is not a distant and aloof Watchmaker, but rather makes Himself to be our Father.

text: Acknowledgments The Index of Economic Freedom is a product of intense collaboration with people and organizations around the world. While it is impossible to mention all of those who have contributed to our success, we wish to express our gratitude to the myriad individuals serving with various international organizations, research institutions, U.S. government agencies, foreign embassies, and other organizations who provide the data used in the Index. Assistance from them is vital and greatly appreciated. The Heritage Foundation's Center for Trade and Economics (CTE) leads the Index production effort. The CTE team of James Roberts, Bryan Riley, and Ryan Olson shared with us the responsibility for grading the 10 components of economic freedom. CTE interns Fan Mo, Tori Whiting, Ashley Wright, Bridget Mudd, Elizabeth Allen, Andy Marguiles, Preston Turner, and Charlotte Howson contributed substantial research. Various Heritage Foundation foreign policy experts who provided country backgrounds informed by their regional and country expertise include Lisa Curtis, Bruce Klingner, Bill Wilson, and Director Walter Lohman of the Asian Studies Center; Luke Coffey and Daniel Kochis of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom; and Charlotte Florance, James Phillips, and Ana Quintana of the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign and National Security Policy. The Index of Economic Freedom is a substantial publication that is brought to print each year by an incredibly talented team of editors and production specialists. We wish to express our deepest appreciation to Senior Editor Richard Odermatt, who is responsible for final review of the completed text, and Senior Copy Editor William T. Poole, who bears the primary responsibility for perfecting the language we employ, as well as Therese Pennefather, Deputy Director of Research Editing, and Senior Data Graphics Editor John Fleming. Creative Director Melissa Bluey and Jay Simon, Publication Production Specialist, were responsible for the design and layout of the book. The availability of the entire Index and its database online at www.heritage.org/index has greatly expanded the publication's reach and accessibility over the past years. The transposition to the Web each year would not be possible without the expertise of Director of Marketing Technology Tim McGovern and his team, including Roger Spurzem, Maria Sousa, Isabel Isidro, Jeph Christoff, Joe Perez, Catherine Dugyon, and former Heritage staffer Jim Lawruk. Jack Spencer, Vice President for the Institute for Economic Freedom and Opportunity, and Dr. James Carafano, Vice President for the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy, provide substantial help and advice in connection with many aspects of Index production and marketing. We are also grateful for the contributions to our work over the past year of Derrick Morgan, former Vice President for the Institute for Economic Freedom and Opportunity. Senator Jim DeMint, President of The Heritage Foundation, and Phil Truluck, Executive Vice President of The Heritage Foundation, have been enthusiastic supporters and great sources of encouragement in producing this annual publication. The ongoing support from Group Vice Presidents David Addington, Ed Corrigan, John Fogarty, and Geoff Lysaught; Vice Presidents Becky Norton Dunlop, John Von Kannon, Wesley Denton, and Matt Streit; and Chief of Staff Bret Bernhardt is sincerely appreciated. We also wish to acknowledge our enduring debt to Chairman Thomas A. Saunders III and the Heritage Board of Trustees, and particularly to Ambassador J. William Middendorf II, who originally encouraged us to undertake such a study of global economic freedom. We remain deeply indebted to Dr. Edwin J. Feulner, Founder and former President of The Heritage Foundation, and Heritage Distinguished Fellow Dr. Kim R. Holmes, who was a founding editor of the Index. Without their vision and insight, this project could never have become a reality and achieved such success over the past 21 years. Very special thanks also go to Paul Gigot and Mary Anastasia O'Grady at The Wall Street Journal, whose partnership and support we truly cherish. Ambassador Terry Miller Anthony B.
