Commentator Jim Sollisch has a problem with reality television. He says real tv programs like How to Marry a Multi-Millionaire, or MTV's The Real World don't really reflect reality. Instead, Sollisch says the programs are a part of television's growing culture of voyeurism.

The IRS knows more than you think and the odds of you scamming the government aren't in your favor. Unfortunately, the odds of you being scammed by somebody else during tax time are higher than you think. The IRS knows this and each year they release the "Dirty Dozen" tax scams that they're carefully watching. Here are a few to watch out for and also avoid if you file taxes on your own.
Overvaluing Charity
So you believe that a 10-year-old power drill is worth $50 and each of your five-year-old "gently" used sweaters that you wore to work once a week are worth $30 a piece? The IRS knows that overvaluing a charitable contribution is a common tactic among filers trying to slip in a few more dollars on their tax refund check, but it isn't going to fly if your refund check is higher than the average check for people in your income bracket. Want to stay in compliance? Use a free service like TurboTax's ItsDeductible which allows you to keep track of your contributions throughout the year and use the IRS approved amount.
Hiding Income Offshore
For decades the financial sex appeal of the Swiss bank account has been the subject of movies, books and other fantastic stories, but the government is cracking down on this real life problem mostly reserved for the nation's wealthiest. Outside of the wealthy, other Americans have found ways to invest off American soil, gain insurance policies and even store money. The IRS notes that there are some stiff penalties for trying to stiff the government on the taxes it's owed on these funds.
Crooked Tax Preparers
Money invites greed and what better time for the greedy to appear than at tax time. Some tax preparers entice people to their offices by claiming unusually high refunds and charging larger than customary fees. The IRS will reject the return, but the preparer already has the customer's money.
As a result, the IRS now requires tax preparers to have a Preparer Tax Identification Number. This PTIN comes from the IRS and allows customers to research the preparer and know that they are approved by the IRS.
Identity Theft
Identity thieves might be using your information to file tax returns and get big refunds before you know it's happening. When you file your legitimate return, the IRS contacts you wanting to know why a second return, often asking for a second refund, was filed.
If you suspect identity theft, the IRS wants you to call the Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490.
Paying for Arguing
The world is full of entrepreneurs, but some should be avoided. Some small businesses are charging customers for advice on how to argue with the IRS in order to avoid paying taxes. Arguments like, "I'm a citizen of my state, not the United States" is one of the reasons cited for not having to file a federal return, but the IRS is a few steps ahead of those people. They have an 84-page document on their website called "The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments," that pokes a hole in these arguments by citing case law and other legal references.
The Bottom Line
Most people don't go out of their way to scam the government on a large scale basis, but many inflate figures a little more than they should. If you do that, know that the IRS knows what you're doing and you may be subject to penalties, interest and even prosecution.
Finally, during tax time, promises of big refund checks are all over the TV and newspapers. Don't fall for these too-good-to-be-true claims. Instead, go to a tax preparer that you trust and if you're looking for one, ask trusted friends and family for recommendations.

Room looks good but inside full of bees/mosquito and no pest control only with room freshener it smells good till the time you check in and TV/Intercom/Geezer wont function properly its reallyhorrible
I checked into this hotel yesterday to attend a marriage of a close relative. My observations :
1. Very conveniently located . From stn in takes 5 minutes at the most. 10 on 10.
2. Look : very ordinary .
3. Room : size is ok, but again pretty simple.
4. Cleanliness: I would rate the lowest. Sanitation is something...
Staff are very bad and management also. Not clean the room once.. behavior of staff are really bad..I have book online through cleartrip and day before I have called and confirm the booking , but when I reached there staff at receptions are denying that the rooms are available..but when we show the details then they gave us the standard...
Review collected in partnership with Cleartrip
I was in the hotel for 4 days. The hotel location is perfect. I mostly walked to all places around. There is a big bazaar right next to the hotel. Lot of places in walkable distance for the family to spend time while i was gone during the day. Food was not the greatest, but ok for morning tiffin.
We stayed for a day at this hotel recently on 3rd of march, 2014. It is located very conveniently, less than a kilometer from the railway station. Close to business hub.
The rooms were neat and the service was OK. However, the attached restaurant is awful. We took breakfast there but the food was not at all good. Avoid going...
The location of this hotel is perfect whether it is a business trip or personal. It is very near to Bus stand and Railway station. The prices are reasonable. The hotel is neat and tidy. The boys in the reception are very energetic and helpful. Food is okay.
i stayed for one week in this hotel when i went for my personnel work, it is a budget hotel, but still rates are high when compare with other hotels at this location, near to railway station and bus complex, having ac and non ac rooms,hotel is old. there is a corporate discount.
i took an AC deluxe room, room...
We booked this hotel for 1 Night stay at vizag . Booking was done for 8 DB AC Delux and all payment done in advance 2 Months ego. We reach hotel on 29th Dec 2012 morning and as some of my accompaniment did not reach we ask for 6 such rooms . They told us that they now provide 5...
Dwaraka inn is a economy hotel. Hotel looks like old one. Rooms were same too but it was kept clean. Food in the restaurant was very tasty. If you are looking for a economy hotel which is nearer to bus and railway station, this is the one. Staff were good and helpful. We had a pleasant stay.
I always prefer this hotel whenever I visit Vizag. comfortable and affordable. located at the heart of the city. a bit cluttered this time.. because of Flyover construction. Food is just awesome.. nice stay with friends. simple and great place to stay

Help Me Help You (2006– )
Episode List
Season 1
3 Oct. 2006The Mattress
Dave's treat for the colleagues makes them all sick. Dr. Bill Hoffman gives his therapy class a daring assignment: to take a social risk. The consequences differ for each, from Inger discovering she can taste New York -literally- to Dave sitting naked in every chair in the office and passing the unruly prankster bug to an intern. Meanwhile Bill's own neighbor and colleague, Dr. Pete 'Petey' Spiller, draws him and a patient Lenny into an ethically dubious attempt to 'get over' his mean wife, Anne, pressing for a separation by stealing back his mattress - only to catch ...
10 Oct. 2006Fun Run
Dr. Bill Hoffman realizes in his own group -for therapists- that his competitive nature is a problem, and hopes overcoming it will get his ex Anne back, but despite a convincing show finds her present partner is a problem, and a winner. Bill takes out his frustration in a park race against Jonathan, with surprise results. Inger has 'wed' an Internet game partner. When she meets him, he turns out to be they - three teenage nerds - but Phil, Roland and Prash are extreme fans of her programming.
17 Oct. 2006Pink Freud
Bill rushes through the group session, telling everybody to 'find your voice', to revive his shrinks rock band in order to impress his near-ex Anne, pretending to have landed a gig and written a song for her. Jonathan's rudeness about 'inappropriate' locker-room nudity first makes him feel manly, then wrecks the male ease in his gym. Dave finally gets his ma to take to home, but regrets learning he was named after her first flame, a gym teacher she didn't forget after marrying his dad.
24 Oct. 2006Sasha's Birthday BBQ
Dr. Bill Hoffman rushes through group therapy to attend his daughter Sasha's birthday barbecue. This, according to his ex (Anne) is another ploy to hit on her. He finds himself rivaling in generosity with Anne's new mate and Sasha's own boy-friend, but finds the girl's 'practical' attitude quit a turn-off.
31 Oct. 2006Inger Management
Dr. Bill Hoffman is offended when Inger announces she also consults a 'life coach', and makes Inger bring the amateur along. Coach Krista however overcomes her utter lack of qualifications and knowledge, hence Bill, by exploiting her shameless sexual services. Bill even gets his peers' commendation to keep enjoying her sexually, provided he ignores her nonsense. Meanwhile Bill's patients try helping themselves and each-other. The results surprise everybody.
28 Nov. 2006Raging Bill
Feeling frustrated himself, Bill tells his patients never to give up. He takes on as client failed boxer Kevin, who mainly lacks rage, but discovers in group his natural dislike for Dave overcomes his generally gentle manner. Kevin uses the willing 'assistant therapist', frustrated himself as his boss hired another to double his job, as rage-catalyst- or is that innocent punching ball? Michael works out his frustration not to excel at a silly computer game on colleagues who do. Inger persists pretending to be a Jew when fellow Chinese Paul plays the same fraud on ...
5 Dec. 2006Perverse Psychology
Dr. Bill Hoffman encourages his group to 'get involved', in Dave's case to try and get serious with his latest girl-friend, only to learn that's his own daughter Sasha won't be told off by dad. Told he can't be Bill's in-law and patient, Dave resigns from therapy. Bill changes tactics to reverse psychology (but explicitly denying this), which Dave believes but gets Sasha furious with both of them - mission accomplished. Alas Dave doesn't take that lying down, except in a literal sense. Involvement doesn't work better for the other patients, except accidentally with ...
12 Dec. 2006Perserverance
Dr. Bill Hoffman finally feels single again and is ready to start dating. He hopes to attract the attention of a colleague's assistant, Francesca, by throwing a party. Unfortunately the party is not only a lame one (lack of girls) but his new female neighbor calls the cops. Dave is elated that his office flame finally invites him to a party, but by way of revenge eats his roommate's 'special' brownies. Bill's other patients have a depressing 'yoghurt birthday splash' with Jonathan.
19 Dec. 2006The Sheriff
Michael's beloved pet bulldog 'loved' to death a building board member's dog, so he must be castrated or it's eviction. Michael decides to give his good 'boy' a fabulous last week, yet there's a twist in the tail. Bill gets intimidated because his latest conquest Linda, a famous UN diplomat, excels in just about everything and her huge adoptive cosmopolitan family 'adopts' him.
2006Working Women
Dr. Bill Hoffman encourages the group to embrace change, now he has swallowed his objections and tries it with his famous lover Linda. They end up at a home-owner meeting to plan a park picnic, hosted by his ex Anne. Dave has taken in his unemployed, immature older brother Brandon. Darleen's big mouth got her fired, so she jumps to become Inger's personal assistant.

OK for beginners, because it requires no thought and leads you by the hand. The most annoying part is the HO descriptions - goggles turn out to be binoculars, band is a bandage, shadow turns out to be a lidded pot, and the cover turns out to be a long skinny thing that I couldn't identify. And try identifying an emerald when the scene is black and white... Not recommended unless you've run out of alternatives. See more See less

Lena Headey's sci-fi freedom-fighter tackles the killer robots with terminal violence and a nice line in dry, dark humour
Thanks to the recent arrival of Terminator: Genysis, there are now more bad Terminator movies than good ones. At their best (the two James Cameron ones) they are well-sustained chases peppered with interesting ideas on robotics and time travel delivered on the hoof. This underrated TV spin-off, which ran from 2008-09, has the time to explore the more fascinating aspects in some depth, while still delivering Terminator-style action sequences on a small-screen budget.
We rejoin Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) and her son John (Thomas Dekker) four years after the events of Terminator 2. They are still on the run from killer robots from the future, except that now they've got a killbot on their side, the cheekily named Cameron (Summer Glau). Future-John apparently reprogrammed Cameron and sent her »

Sony Pictures has picked up classic British cartoon "Danger Mouse" with plans to turn it into an animated feature which Original Film, Fremantle Media and Neal Mortiz will produce.
The Tracking Board reports that the film could well be an origin story about the world's best secret agent, a white mouse with an eye patch, and his timid assistant Penfold. The cartoon effectively served as a kind of Bond spoof, with Danger Mouse often facing his evil toad enemy Baron Silas von Greenback.
The series ran from 1981 to 1992 and was recently rebooted and relaunched on Cbbc in the UK with the likes of Alexander Armstrong, Stephen Fry, Lena Headey and John Oliver lending their voices to the series. That reboot will screen on Netflix U.S. starting in the Spring. »

When it comes to Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), people either love her or hate her. There is no in-between. But one thing everyone can agree on is that she is a woman you should never mess with, because it won't end well for you.
To fill the hole in our heart left by this "Game of Thrones" hiatus, let's celebrate all the times Cersei Lannister was the head b*tch in charge -- with GIFs! »

Meet some of the best directors working today, who haven't gone down the blockbuster movie route...
Ever find it a bit lame when the same big name directors get kicked around for every high profile project? Christopher Nolan, Jj Abrams, maybe the Russo Brothers? With so much focus on blockbuster films these days, getting a major franchise job seems like the main acknowledgement of success for a filmmaker. And yes, both the financial and creative rewards can be great. But there are plenty of other directors out there, doing their own thing, from art house auteurs to Dtv action specialists.
Here are 25 examples.
Even if you don't know his name, you've probably seen Lee Hardcastle's ultraviolent claymations shared on social media. He first started getting noticed for his two-minute remake of The Thing, starring the famous stop motion penguin Pingu. Far from just a cheap one-joke mash-up, »

Bringing back Danger Mouse is a big deal - and the stars of Cbbc's new revamp have promised they won't mess it up.
The team behind the new show were "respectful" of the classic '80s animation, said Kevin Eldon - who voices Dm's assistant Penfold.
"People are possessive of stuff that belongs to their childhood, and you can understand that," he said. "You don't want to it be 'Scrappy Doo' - coming back and doing a horrible thing to the memory of something brilliant.
"I think that the people involved in this were respectful of the original. It has hauled itself into the 21st century, but it hasn't done it at the expense of the original's spirit.
"The scripts were just great - so imaginative, and with the same anarchic spirit as the original."
Both Eldon and Alexander Armstrong - the new Danger Mouse - said they didn't revisit the original series, »

The rodent spy returns for 2015 with a slick new look and the voice of Alexander Armstrong. As we find when we visit the vocal booth though, the cartoon's anarchic spirit remains
"God, I'm excited. It comes out in September, right? Woo-hoo-hoo!" Alexander Armstrong is 45 years old, but has just emitted a genuine whoop of joy. The Guide is crashing the final day of voice recording for a show that, even in the wake of several high-profile reboots of beloved children's classics, has a lot of people jumping up and down. Armstrong is your new Danger Mouse…
"I've never wanted a job as much as this. Plenty of parts you go up for and you don't really mind, but not getting this would have devastated me."

Emmy host Andy Samberg joked in his monologue that if Uzo Aduba won Best Drama Supporting Actress for "Orange is the New Black," she would be "the new Ed Asner" because he was previously the only star to win for the same role in both Comedy and Drama. Well, it happened. -Break- Watch our recent Emmy webchats with Christina Hendricks, Uzo Aduba, and Joanne Froggatt Aduba plays Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren in the Netflix prison series "Orange is the New Black." She won Best Comedy Guest Actress last year, but moved to this race after the TV academy deemed the series a drama. She got 3/1 odds to prevail, good enough for third place in our rankings. She submitted the episode "Hugs Can Be Deceiving," in which we learn Crazy Eyes' backstory as an adopted child and an outcast. Gold Derby predicted that Lena Headey would go along for the »

At Saturday's BAFTA tea party for Emmy nominees in Los Angeles, we chatted with "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner about her show possibly making Emmy history this weekend (watch our fun interview below). "Game of Thrones" won eight trophies at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys and is the frontrunner on Sunday to win Best Drama Series with 9/10 odds. One more victory will tie it with "The West Wing" for the most Emmys by a series. Two more wins and it sets the all-time record. In addition to the series nomination, it also has bids for Peter Dinklage (supporting actor), Emilia Clarke (supporting actress), Lena Headey (supporting actress), directing, and writing for the next ceremony. On whether she feels pressure, Turner admits, "Well, I was fine until now, thanks." On her favorite moments from season five she says, "Any of those scenes" where she got to work with Alfie Allen »

Hello, I'm Omar Moore. I was born and raised in London, where I grew up before moving to New York City with my parents. After branching out in the Big Apple on my own for a number of years, I moved west to San Francisco. I love America and its promise. We all need to do our small part to make this great country even better for all. Where a film is concerned, it is never "only a movie." Images mean something. They have unyielding power and influence, whether in "Birth of A Nation", "Un Chien Andalou", "Night Of The Hunter", "Killer Of Sheep", "Persona", "Psycho", "A Clockwork Orange", "Blazing Saddles", "Straw Dogs", "Soul Man", "Chameleon Street", "Do The Right Thing", "Bamboozled" or "Irreversible". A filmmaker generally doesn't put images in a film if they are meaningless.
In theory, if I correctly predicted every single Oscar race, nobody could outguess me, and by default, I would win the prize.

CANNES, France -- The French New Wave was a rebirth of French films in the early 1960s, and the German new wave represented the same process in Germany in the 1970s. Now black American filmmakers are developing a new stylistic and personal vision that reached critical mass at this year's Cannes Film Festival. In May of 1991, here in the incongruous setting of the French Riviera, far from the urban settings of most of their films, the black new wave came of age.
"Rebellion is one thing," Ossie Davis said. "Rebellion works some times in some places. But year in and year out, you can get more mileage out of wisdom and cunning. If you can't outfight the man, outsmart him."

Cheney's Iran lie exposed in dramatic fashion
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to speak today at a D.C. think tank, delivering remarks intended to condemn the international nuclear agreement with Iran. If an ignominious exchange over the weekend was evidence of his expertise, however, Cheney might want to reschedule, brush up on the details, and rethink his approach.
The underlying challenge for the failed former V.P. is the degree to which his own Iran policy failed spectacularly. Iran didn't have a meaningful nuclear weapons program until Tehran developed one -- during the Bush/Cheney administration. At the time, in response to Iran's nuclear program, the Bush/Cheney administration did nothing -- except, of course, strengthen Iran's regional power by invading Iraq.
With this in mind, Fox News' Chris Wallace reminded Cheney over the weekend that Iran "went from zero known [nuclear] centrifuges in operation to more than 5,000." The Republican's response was extraordinary.
The Fox News host flashed that data on screen so no one could miss it, and added: "So in fairness, didn't you leave -- the Bush-Cheney administration -- leave President Obama with a mess?""Well, I don't think of it that way," Cheney countered. [...] "But the centrifuges went from zero to 5,000," Wallace pressed."Well, they may well have gone but that happened on Obama's watch, not on our watch," Cheney replied.
That's the exact opposite of the truth, as Wallace, to his credit, quickly reminded the former V.P. Iran's nuclear program blossomed, not under President Obama, but during the Bush/Cheney era.
Cheney wants Americans to blame Obama for a mess Cheney created. Indeed, either Cheney doesn't know what happened in Iran on his watch, in which case his ignorance effectively disqualifies him from the debate, or Cheney simply doesn't care about the facts, which renders his misguided opinions meaningless.
I'm afraid there is no third option.
Labor Day, 2015
It's likely to be pretty slow today, so readers should expect a very light posting schedule. That said, I'll be around in case there's breaking news of interest.
As for the holiday, President Obama's Labor Day message emphasized the federal budget and the prospect of another congressional imposed shutdown; the Washington Post's E.J. Dionne Jr. uses Labor Day to remind the political world, "As long as there are markets, government will have to establish rules determining how they operate"; and the New York Times' editorial board takes the opportunity to discourage the Fed from raising interest rates.
In the past year, low-wage workers have successfully fought for minimum wage increases in states and cities. Congressional Democrats have championed legislation to raise the federal minimum wage and to fight wage theft and abusive worker scheduling. The Labor Department is moving ahead with a much needed new rule to update the nation's overtime-pay laws.In the midst of those efforts, it would be a setback for the Fed to act as if the economy is already near full employment. It's not. The proof is in the paycheck.
This Week in God, 9.5.15
First up from the God Machine this week is a lingering question about the religio-political story that's captured much of the nation's attention: the bizarre actions of Kim Davis, the Clerk of Courts in Rowan County, Kentucky.
As you've probably heard, Davis is paid by taxpayers to issue marriage licenses, but she refuses to provide licenses to couples she finds morally objectionable, citing "God's authority." Davis and her lawyers have filed several appeals, all of which lost. This week, after brazenly defying court orders, Davis found herself in jail for contempt of court.
But all week, one thing about this story has bugged me: doesn't Davis have a lawyer? Someone to represent her legal interests? What kind of counsel would go along with Davis' scheme to ignore her oath, the law, a Supreme Court ruling, and court orders?
A report from Right Wing Watch answers this question nicely.
Yesterday, Davis' attorney, Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel, appeared on "Crosstalk" to defend Davis, claiming that she is simply trying to do her job, or at least, her job as she sees it. He even likened her to a Jewish person living under Nazi rule.
That's not a joke, by the way. Staver argued this week, "[W]hat happened in Nazi Germany, what happened there first, they removed the Jews from government public employment, then they stopped patronizing them in their private businesses, then they continued to stigmatize them, then they were the 'problems,' then they killed them." He added, "The fact of the matter is, she has a right to this employment and you don't lose your constitutional liberties just because you are employed by the government."
A day later, Staver repeated the Nazi analogy: "Back in the 1930s, it began with the Jews, where they were evicted from public employment, then boycotted in their private employment, then stigmatized and that led to the gas chambers. This is the new persecution of Christians here in this country."
Staver's name is probably unfamiliar to much of the American mainstream, but for those who follow the religious right movement closely, he's a familiar figure -- best known for pushing an odd, anti-gay worldview. His group, Liberty Counsel, was created by the late right-wing televangelist Jerry Falwell.
Davis, in other words, appears to be making some poor choices, based in part on dubious legal guidance. Indeed, some in Kentucky's legal community believe Staver and his partners "may have violated their duty to tell her she had no case."
Also from the God Machine this week:
Friday's Mini-Report, 9.4.15
Today's edition of quick hits:
* Quite a sight: "Hundreds of migrants and refugees gave up trying to catch a train Friday and began a desperate 300-mile walk towards Germany as European leaders faced up to a 'defining moment' in the continent-wide crisis."
* On a related note: "Stepping back from a confrontation with asylum-seekers that drew condemnation from throughout Europe, Hungary will use buses to ferry thousands of migrants from Budapest to the border with Austria, a senior government official said Friday."
* A politician in the spotlight: "Call him Europe's Donald Trump. Hungary's maverick Prime Minister Viktor Orban is emerging as the straight-talking voice of right-wing Europe, vowing to block a wave of desperate refugees from seeking sanctuary in the region."
* A striking detail: "As Amnesty International recently pointed out, the 'six Gulf countries -- Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain -- have offered zero resettlement places to Syrian refugees.'"
* California: "The campus of Sacramento City College was locked down Thursday afternoon as police searched for a gunman who shot three men, killing one, authorities said."
* Dead-enders: "A judge in Marion County, Oregon, is under investigation after he reportedly refused to perform same-sex marriages when it was legalized in the state."
* On Wednesday, nine people were shot and killed in Chicago, nearly all in separate and unrelated incidents: "That marked the most homicides in a single day in Chicago in more than a decade, according to a Tribune analysis of department data."
* Smart move: "Rep. Mia Love, one of the GOP's rising stars, said she will repay taxpayers more than $1,000 for weekend flights she took to attend the White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner last spring."
Rubio targets Trump, but leads with his chin
Donald Trump's first real interview on matters of foreign policy and national security clearly didn't go well. Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt pressed the Republican frontrunner on a variety of key issues -- the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah, for example -- and the GOP presidential candidate not only struggled, Trump dismissed the questions themselves as "ridiculous."
The second-day question, of course, is whether a candidate's ignorance has any effect on his or her standing. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), talking earlier to CNN, clearly hopes to make Trump's difficulties as consequential as possible.
"If you don't know the answer to these questions, then you are not going to be able to serve as commander and chief," Rubio told CNN in an interview here."This should be part of the reason why you are running because you understand the threats that the world is facing, you have deep understanding and you understand what to do about it," Rubio added. "And if someone doesn't, I think it is very concerning."
At face value, there's probably something to this. Even if someone were to give Trump the benefit of the doubt -- maybe he confused the Quds Forces and the Kurds because it was a phone interview and he misheard the host -- major-party presidential candidates should know the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah. Heck, anyone who reads news articles once in a while about the Middle East should know the difference between Hamas and Hezbollah.
If Rubio wants to make the case that interviews like the Trump-Hewitt exchange point to a candidate who's probably unprepared for national office, it's a credible message.
The trouble, however, is with the messenger.
Obama turns the 'lame duck' narrative on its head
Saudi Arabia's King Salman will meet with President Obama today, and as Politico put it, the Saudi king will meet with a U.S. leader "with a swagger in his step."
Nearly four months after he skipped President Barack Obama's high-profile Camp David summit, Saudi Arabia's King Salman will arrive at the White House to find a strengthened Obama and less leeway to influence U.S. policy toward Iran.The elderly Arab monarch's White House visit Friday comes just days after Obama secured the Senate votes he needs for the Iran nuclear deal to survive Congress.
Senate support for the diplomatic solution is still growing -- in addition to the three new endorsements yesterday, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) announced his backing for the policy this morning. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) announced his opposition around the same time, but as a practical matter, his siding with the far-right on the issue won't change the outcome.
Under the circumstances, it's tough to blame the president for having "a swagger in his step," not just because he's overcome the Saudis' skepticism about the international agreement, but also because Obama has had quite a bit of success lately.
Barring any unexpected developments, the successful implementation of the new U.S. policy in Iran is among the most consequential diplomatic success stories in a generation.
But Roll Call's Steven Dennis noted this week that it's not the only issue that's gone President Obama's way lately. Looking back over just the last three months, we see related victories and breakthroughs on Cuba, marriage equality, the Affordable Care Act, fast-track trade-promotion authority, and overtime pay, among other things.
It's part of an increasingly successful 2015 for the Obama White House, which also includes a climate deal with China, new environmental safeguards, and net neutrality. If we include late last year -- the period after the midterm elections -- we can add a breakthrough immigration policy and the freeing of some American prisoners in North Korea.
Not too shabby for a "lame duck" president.
Friday's Campaign Round-Up, 9.4.15
Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* Jeb Bush told ABC yesterday that he will support the Republican Party's presidential nominee, even if it's Donald Trump.
* Vice President Biden conceded yesterday he's unsure "whether my family and I have the emotional energy" for another presidential campaign. "The honest-to-God answer is I just don't know," he said last night.
* At a New Hampshire event yesterday, an attendee to a Jeb Bush event literally fell asleep. Soon after, the Florida Republican tweeted a picture of himself and the voter, saying she'd woken up early yesterday for a 12-hour shift.
* Gallup published new results this morning, showing favorability ratings for the Republican presidential candidates among GOP voters. The news isn't good for Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, once seen as the party's top-tier contenders.
* With Scott Walker's presidential campaign moving in the wrong direction, his allied super PAC is preparing an $8 million investment in South Carolina, home to the third 2016 nominating contest.
* The Iowa Democratic Party is expanding its use of "satellite caucuses," allowing voters to participate in the 2016 nominating process in places such as "factory sites and senior citizen residential facilities." The Iowa Republican Party said it has no similar plans.
* Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) announced yesterday that he'll retire next year after 14 years in Congress. The Minnesota Republican represents a competitive swing district, which President Obama carried twice, and which the DCCC is confident it can pick up in 2016.
GOP's Ben Carson eyes end to Veterans Administration
Republican presidential candidates often like to talk about the cabinet agencies they're eager to destroy. Just this week, for example, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) dismissed the federal Department of Education as unnecessary. In the last presidential election, then-Gov. Rick Perry (R) said he intended to scrap three cabinet agencies, though he famously forgot the third.
But when GOP candidates go after these agencies, they usually stick to departments like Commerce, Education, and occasionally Energy. Ben Carson, a leading 2016 contender, actually has a very different idea in mind. The Military Times reported:
Presidential hopeful Ben Carson's comments suggesting the Veterans Affairs Department should be eliminated drew quick condemnation from multiple veterans groups, who called the idea short-sighted and ill-informed.On a national radio show [on Aug. 27], Carson said that the country need to re-examine how it cares for veterans but also how to cut back on government bureaucracy.
The retired neurosurgeon said, "We don't need a Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans Affairs should be folded in under the Department of Defense."
As regular readers probably know, plenty of Republican presidential candidates support incorporating a voucher system into the VA, effectively privatizing parts of veterans' care, but Carson is the first national candidate, at least in recent memory, to suggest eliminating the cabinet agency altogether.
John Biedrzyck, head of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, isn't impressed. "To suggest that disabled veterans could be sent out into the economy with a health savings account card overlooks the fact that civilian health care has waiting lists of their own ... and presupposes that civilian doctors have the same skill sets as VA doctors, who see veterans of every age and malady every day," Biedrzyck said in a statement.
As the Military Times' report added, Paralyzed Veterans of America Deputy Executive Director Sherman Gillums Jr. called Carson's recommendation "a misguided notion born from ignorance of what each department does."
In the event Carson somehow becomes the president, how realistic is the threat that he'll actually scrap the entire agency?

How to set a password in war file ??? Can i set the IP address,mac address in war file then before the deployment this war check the IP address ,mac address?If those address correct then war file deploy?
Do IP address check,mac address check etc inside war so even if war is deplyod it will not work if ip or mac address is incorrect. ie....Change the code in war like that
A sample java program to get IP address and MAC address is given below
I would suggest you not doing all this validation inside the war file, after all this is just a file and if someone want to replace it he can just replace the file no matter what validation and checking you did in the war.
What you need to do is to write a deployment script that you give it the new war to deploy and then the script do all your validations and replace the war file.
The WAR format and servlet API does not support any form of protection before deployment. Additionally any software-only scheme can be cracked.
A combination of a valid license key which you check for and a "code is unsupported without a valid license" is most likely the best you can expect.

Malawi: Vice President Chilumpha states women's empowerment crucial to good governance
Chilumpha said women need to be empowered by elevating them into high decision-making positions in all sectors if they are to contribute meaningfully in the country's development.
"For a long time, women have been marginalized and the time has come to give them a chance to be involved in development and decision making," said Chilumpha, urging Muslim women and girls to go to school for a better future by taking advantage of the free primary school education.
The Vice President also called upon Muslim women and local leaders across the country to take a lead in helping the underprivileged.
"Just as Prophet Mohammed and his wife Khadija, you should be concerned with the plight of the vulnerable and orphans and be able to provide them with their basic needs," he advised.
Chilumpha is currently under police bail charged with treason by President Bingu wa Mutharika's administration. The case is failing to take off in the courts as the State has on numerous occassions failed to furnish the overwhelming evidence claimed to be in their position.
