The New Anti-Cash Laws Sweeping the U.S.
It's been sold as The War on Terror,
Thanks to Homeland Security, The Patriot Act, stockpiling of ammo by government agencies, and equipping local police forces with billions of dollars of military grade equipment, as a concerned American, one must wonder…
They are here.
They're armed, dangerous and ready to fight. With shocking brutality.
Here in the U.S. our own military is unarmed.
They're sitting ducks for the enemy who has vowed to destroy us.
If you have disloyal thoughts about America, you should be locked up.
Shocking comments coming from an ex-Army General.
In fact, this just might be the most outrageous statement ever coming from an ex-General.
Laura Browder, a single mom of a 6-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy, landed a job after a short 15-minute interview at a local mall.
But she was placed under arrest and now has Child Protective Services keeping a close eye on her.
The whole Sandra Bland arrest and apparent jail suicide is filled with inconsistent stories from both sides.
Here's a case of an innocent traffic violation stop gone horribly wrong.
It also points out that police video cams don't provide all the facts of police actions.
The response to the Chattanooga shooting of unarmed military recruiters is exactly why the Second Amendment exists.
Since the Clinton Administration, military recruiters have been unarmed.
With the ever increasing threat and growing strength of ISIS and Islamic terrorists, these military recruiters are now sitting ducks.
Even though we've spent trillions of dollars since 2001 to fight this War on Terror, neither Bush nor Obama acted to change this policy.
Here's a ban that just makes sense.
It's a gun shop owner standing up and making a statement to protect American freedom.
Want more proof that liberal policies are a failure in effective, responsible government?
Leading Progressive voices, such as Bernie Sanders, call for massive investment in improving our roads, highways, and bridges.
Didn't we hear this Progressive promise before?
Remember all those"shovel ready jobs" the Obama Stimulus Plan promised?

The Black Caps' loss is the Northern Knights' gain.
Tim Southee will make his first appearance of the domestic cricket season on Friday when the Northern Districts side host the Canterbury Wizards in their four-day encounter at Hamilton's Seddon Park.
Southee was a surprise omission from the New Zealand team to face the West Indies in the first test starting in Dunedin tomorrow.
Instead, the 19-year-old will replace fellow teenage quick bowler Trent Boult in the Knights squad as they try to drag themselves away from the bottom of the State Championship ladder.
"Trent has really impressed in the first three games but we are also conscious that this is his first season, the season has only just begun, he has had large workloads and he is only 19," said Knights convener of selectors Pat Malcon.
"We see Trent as a key bowler in our State Shield campaign that starts immediately after this game, and we want him fresh and bowling at his best.
"With a group of six pace bowlers, all of whom have played for the Black Caps or New Zealand A, we have the luxury of managing their workloads so that they maintain their pace and energy levels," Malcon said.
The other change to the Knights from the side that lost by an innings to Wellington in their third round game last week is the return of opener BJ Watling from injury.
Watling missed the match in the capital due to a back injury but replaces Brad Wilson for the fourth round encounter against the Wizards.
Northern Knights: James Marshall (captain), BJ Watling, Cameron Merchant, Michael Parlane, Kane Williamson, Joseph Yovich, Peter McGlashan, Graeme Aldridge, Bruce Martin, Bradley Scott, Tim Southee, Brent Arnel.

Ruby Dee died last night (11.06.14) aged 91 at her home in New York with her family by her side.
Ruby Dee has died aged 91.
The Oscar-nominated actress passed away on Wednesday night (11.06.14) at her home address in New Rochelle, New York City, with her family by her side.
Her daughter Nora Davis Day told the Associated Press today (12.06.14): ''We have had her for so long and we loved her so much. She took her final bow last night at home surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
''We gave her our permission to set sail. She opened her eyes, closed her eyes and away she went.''
The civil rights activist frequently performed alongside her late husband of 56 years Ossie Davis, whom she met in 1945 when she auditioned for the Broadway play 'Jeb'.
Ruby, who was born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in New York, received an Oscar nomination when she was 83 for best supporting actress for her role in 'American Gangster' and was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Screen Actors Guild in 2000 alongside Ossie.
She also received a number of other awards - including an Emmy, an Obie and a Grammy - during her legendary career, which spanned eight decades.
Ruby, who leaves behind three children Nora, Hasna and Guy and seven grandchildren, will be remembered in a private service for family and friends, and a public memorial is to follow at a later date, a spokesman has confirmed.

Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has dismissed reports manager Brendan Rodgers will meet Liverpool's owners to talk about the vacancy at Anfield as "pure speculation".
Although Rodgers had previously stated his intention to remain with the Swans, having already turned down the chance to speak with Liverpool, it appears the Reds have not given up on the hope of talking to the Northern Irishman.
Reports have suggested the Reds are set to contact him this week but Jenkins told BBC Sport that was just "pure speculation".Ten days ago Swansea released a statement confirming they had received an official approach from Liverpool to speak with Rodgers.
"The club is pleased to confirm that Brendan has declined the current opportunity to speak to the Anfield club about the vacant position," it said.
"The Swansea manager is currently working hard to strengthen the squad in readiness for the new Barclays Premier League campaign."
Wigan's Roberto Martinez is still seen as the front-runner, having held talks with Liverpool's principal owner John Henry in Miami last week.
The Spaniard is due back from a Caribbean holiday on Tuesday but despite his suggestion over the weekend he would hold a press conference at which he would outline his future plans, no such arrangements have yet been made.
In light of the latest speculation linking Liverpool with a move for Rodgers Swansea issued a short statement insisting there had been no contact.
"We would like to clarify the speculation in the press surrounding our manager Brendan Rodgers," it said.
"We would like to confirm that there has been no contact from Liverpool and nothing has changed since our previous statement on the issue."

Rajasthan declares drought in 5 districts; Karnataka in 142 talukas: Pawar
New Delhi: Rajasthan has declared drought in 5 districts while Karnataka has done so in 142 talukas, Parliament was informed on Tuesday.
"So far, Karnataka and Rajasthan have declared drought in 142 out of the 176 taluks and in 5 out of 33 districts in the states, respectively," Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.
According to the report of India Meteorological Department(IMD), as on August 12, overall rainfall deficit for the country as a whole was 16 per cent, Pawar said.
Excess rainfall has been reported from 1 sub-division, normal in 17, deficient in 13 and scanty rainfall has been reported in 3 sub-divisions out of the total 36 sub-divisions in the country, the minister said quoting IMD data.
He said sowing of crops have been hit by weak monsoon.
"Against an average area of 105.70 million hectares under kharif cultivation in the entire country, 85.4 million hectares are normally sown by August 8. This year 80.2 million hectares have been covered under various crops by August 8, 2012," he said.
The minister said the Centre has constituted central teams to visit the states and assess the situation.
On steps taken by the government, Pawar said government has introduced diesel subsidy scheme, enhancement of seed subsidy, up-scaling the central sector scheme on feed and fodder and waiver of import duty on oil cakes.
In addition, the government is providing interim assistance under calamity component of National Rural Drinking Programme (NRDWP), releasing funds under NRDWP and Integrated Watershed Management Programme, etc., he added.

You also learn how to identify customer needs in different countries and cultures, and to design, develop, implement and manage effective marketing strategies to meet those needs.
Courses include: communications, mass communications, product pricing, e-commerce, advertising, public relations, telemarketing, international marketing, brand management, consumer behavior, consumer research, publishing, and interactive marketing.
Marketing is often studied as part of a business administration program, and so you would acquire knowledge, practical and professional skills in other aspects of business, in addition to marketing.
It is also often studied as a specialization in a Bachelor of Science in Communication degree – as is the case for the Marketing Communications program at Walden University. In this program you are provided with the knowledge and skills required to support the marketing initiatives of any organization through integrated communications. You also learn how to tackle the challenges of communicating in a globally diverse market with different regulations and media requirements and learn how to use media planning and modeling tools to develop a media strategy and plan with the widest reach and impact.
There is sometimes a requirement to do an internship in a masters or bachelor's degree marketing.
What jobs are there for graduates?
Marketing is an essential tool for any business, so a marketing degree is a high demand, profitable qualification. Marketing is often taken as a major, specialization or concentration in a bachelor of business administration or other business degree, so graduates are prepared for marketing and a wide range of other positions in business.
Because marketing science is applicable to the problems of the public sector as well as the private sector, graduates are also prepared for positions in government, military and non-profit organizations.
Graduates can start a marketing career in advertising, product/sales, management, marketing research/teaching, business management, consultancy.

Sixers new coach Brett Brown wants a fresh start, parts ways with all assistant coaches
Aug 16, 2013, 2:34 PM EDT
There's a reason Brett Brown was given a four-year guaranteed contract when hired as the new head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers.
It's going to take that much time to return the team to a respectable level of playoff relevance, considering how few assets are currently held on its existing roster.
It's clear that the organization needed a complete overhaul this summer, which is why it isn't at all surprising that Brown wants to embark on his journey with his own guys, while giving the franchise a clean, fresh start.
From John Finger of CSNPhilly.com:
Sixers assistant coaches Michael Curry, Aaron McKie and Jeff Capel have been dismissed with one season remaining on their contracts on Friday, according to a league source.
The team has not made an official announcement, but The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported the story about the dismissal of the coaches on Friday, quoting the new head coach.
"I'm doing that for obvious reasons," Brown told the Inquirer. "I want to hire my own staff and have a clean start going in that direction. … I feel like it's important that I come in with my own staff and start fresh and try to rebuild."
Curry was interviewed for the head position in Philadelphia, so retaining him would have been difficult under the circumstances.
As for the others, both are respected coaches that should eventually land a spot elsewhere. But again, everyone involved should have seen this coming.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board™ (SASB)™, a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides sustainability accounting standards for use by publicly listed corporations in the U.S., today released provisional standards for industries in the Financials sector. SASB standards help corporations comply with existing regulation, Regulation S-K, to disclose all material issues in the Form 10-K. SASB is accredited to set standards by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
SASB's provisional standards address the environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues likely to be material for companies in seven industries in the Financials sector: Asset Management & Custody Activities, Commercial Banks, Consumer Finance, Insurance, Investment Banking & Brokerage, Mortgage Finance, and Security & Commodity Exchanges. Examples of issues included are customer privacy and data security; integration of ESG factors in credit risk analysis, investment management and advisory; and responsible lending and debt prevention.
SASB standards—which identify the minimum set of sustainability issues for each industry—are designed to be cost effective for companies and decision useful for investors. The average number of sustainability issues in each Financials standards is four and 79 percent of suggested accounting metrics are quantitative.
"The Financials sector is unique, in that it's comprised of both issuers and investors," says Dr. Jean Rogers, Founder and Executive Director of SASB. "As issuers, Financials companies can compete and improve performance on the sustainability issues most relevant to business success. As investors, Financials companies can compare corporate performance on material sustainability issues and direct capital accordingly."
SASB's standards development process includes research supported by Bloomberg data, multi-stakeholder industry working groups, a public comment period, and review by an independent Standards Council. The working groups for the Financials sector— which included 302 registrants— represented publicly traded companies with more than $1.3 trillion market capital and investment firms with more than $5 trillion in assets under management. A full list of working group members can be found here. SASB's standards for the Financials sector will be considered provisional for one year after the issuance date. SASB welcomes feedback on the standards during the provisional phase.
"Our clients increasingly demand decision-useful sustainability information," says Daniel L. Doctoroff, CEO and President of Bloomberg L.P. "The release of SASB's Financials standards marks the beginning of a new era in market transparency and a new model for 21st century corporate reporting."
"The standards being developed by SASB are the clear answer to the compelling demand from almost all investors for broader disclosure of non-financial information," says Samuel Di Piazza, Jr., Retired CEO, PricewaterhouseCoopers, International. "The standards create comparative, industry-based benchmarks. Their adoption over time is simply inevitable."
Companies seeking assistance using SASB standards are invited to apply to the SASB Corporate Roundtable. SASB standards will be developed for 80+ industries in 10 sectors through the beginning of 2016. View the full schedule of SASB's standards development process here.
About SASB
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board™ (SASB)™ is an independent 501(c)3 organization that develops industry-specific standards for use in disclosing material sustainability issues in mandatory filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission. More than 1,000 individuals from individuals representing $13.9T assets under management and $5.7T market capital have participated in multi-stakeholder industry working groups informing standards development for five sectors to date.

"The Hunger Games" Soundtrack Debuts at #1
It seems like everyone went to see The Hunger Games, giving the film a #1 box office slot and a $155 million opening weekend — one of the largest in history.
Also making history is The Hunger Games soundtrack, which earns the franchise another #1. Today it debuts at the top of the Nielsen SoundScan charts, with 175,030 copies sold. This relegates Adele to the #2 slot again — but don't feel too badly for her, as she has sold over 8 million copies of 21 to date. This also bests the first Twilight soundtrack, which debuted at #1 but only sold 164,700 copies in its first week.
The soundtrack is led by Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars' track "Safe and Sound," which has racked up over 7 million views on YouTube. Taylor was among the moviegoers who saw The Hunger Games this weekend. US Weekly reports she went to a Sunday screening with Glee's Dianna Agron.

Summer House With Swimming Pool by Herman Koch: review
There's no denying the entertainment value of this titillatingly suspenseful stew of schadenfreude.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 3 photoszoom
The Dinner, which appeared here last year, was Dutch writer Herman Koch's international breakthrough (Cate Blanchett has optioned it for her directorial debut). Koch's publishers are clearly hoping Summer House with Swimming Pool (his seventh novel, originally published in 2011 in Dutch) will ride on the coattails of that success.
In addition to a vituperative sensibility and (purposefully) off-putting characters, the two novels have a number of structural similarities. Both concern two Dutch families who become involved in an unsettling personal crime. In The Dinner, the act was committed by the younger, teen generation. Here, it is meted upon one of them. Playing heavily on bourgeois resentments and pretensions, Koch leaves us again in the clutches of an unreliable — or at any rate, dubious — first person narrator.
Dr. Marc Schlosser is a family doctor who in addition to being narcissistic ("I'm more charming than most men") and sexist ("I look at women that way because I have no idea how to look at women any other way"), has a chillingly entitled attitude to his work: "In a practice like mine, the key is not to worry too much about medical standards." Marc also has what most would consider a professional deficit: an aversion to the human body. As a result, much of his time is spent strenuously avoiding touching or looking at his patients, whom he characterizes as a bunch of hypochondriacs and bellyachers.
As the novel begins, Marc has been called to account for a "medical error" that caused the death of Ralph Meier, a famous actor and friend. Or was it an error? Certain signs, like Ralph's widow Judith spitting in Marc's face at the funeral ("Rage makes for ugly widows," he complains), might seem to suggest otherwise.
We then launch into an account of the events that took place after Ralph came to Marc's office looking for prescription painkillers 18 months previously. At one of Ralph's performances, Marc had taken note of the hungry, lupine manner with which the actor regarded his wife, Caroline. Nevertheless, it was Ralph's wife, Judith, who embarked on an affair.
That summer, Marc attempts to engineer a "chance" encounter with Judith by taking Caroline and their two young daughters camping near the Meiers' Mediterranean summerhouse. The ploy works — much too the chagrin of Caroline, who finds Ralph loathsome — and the family ends up moving their tent to the Meiers' lawn.
A kind of bi-generational bacchanal ensues. Marc and Caroline's daughters play "Miss Wet T-shirt" with Ralph and Judith's two sons while the adults drink, smoke, bicker and flirt. Ralph's voracious appetite — which extends equally to food, women and girls — is sharply offset by Marc's prudish disgust at nudity and cooking smells. At one point he compares nude volleyball players to naked bodies piled in mass graves. Lust, needless to say, seems to play less of a role in his relationship with Judith than control.
When Marc finally gets Judith alone in the kitchen, he realizes they've been seen, possibly by his elder daughter Julia. The atmosphere of self-indulgence comes to a full stop later that evening when Julia is discovered on the beach unconscious, presumably violated. As she recalls none of the incident's particulars, only its traumatic nature, the perpetrator's identity remains unclear.
It's as the outraged father of a devastated young girl that Marc seems poised to earn our sympathy. This you should resist. Despite several viable male suspects — including a soft-core movie director, Ralph's son Alex, and a creepy, tattooed repairman — it's Ralph himself that Marc sets in his vengeful crosshairs.
Though Koch relies, as he did with The Dinner, on a deus ex machina to stick a wobbly ending, there's no denying the entertainment value of this titillatingly suspenseful stew of schadenfreude. Still, there's something naggingly paradoxical about a novel that ostensibly deconstructs men's proprietary attitudes to women and girls yet doesn't give us a single female character worth liking — or, more to the point, loathing.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

Arsenal maintained their challenge for a first trophy in nine seasons when they beat Liverpool 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium to open up a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League on Saturday.A brilliantly taken opener from Santi Cazorla, who smacked in a rebound after 19 minutes, and an even better goal from Aaron Ramsey, who struck a swerving shot with the outside of his right boot after 59 minutes, took Arsenal to 25 points from their 10 matches.Chelsea, who lost 2-0 at Newcastle United after winning their previous six games in all competitions, are second, level on 20 points with third-placed Liverpool.
They were full of confidence, they have been in fine form and they showed that early on, but we managed to weather the storm and got the goals
Aaron Ramsey, In-form Gunner
But Chelsea's performance did not please their boss, Jose Mourinho, who said: "I did not like my team today, I am disappointed."Manchester City, who beat Norwich City 7-0 at the Etihad Stadium; Southampton, who drew 1-1 at Stoke; and Tottenham Hotspur, who play at Everton on Sunday, all have 19 points, but Spurs can move into second place on 22 if they win at Everton on Sunday.Champions Manchester United continued their improvement after their sluggish start to the season with a 3-1 win at Fulham, and although they stayed eighth, they gained points on some of the teams above them.Liverpool, who had won three of their last four league games and drawn the other, started brightly at Arsenal but the home side took a grip on the game after breaking the deadlock.Ramsey, who has now scored 10 goals this season, told BT Sport: "We got stuck into them and managed to get a goal early, which put us in good shape for the second half, and we managed to finish the job."They were full of confidence, they have been in fine form and they showed that early on, but we managed to weather the storm and got the goals."
