Experts testified about the role federal, state and local governments would play in preserving historic properties affected by Hurricane Katrina in an oversight hearing investigating the condition of historic properties in the disaster area and how the package of historic preservation mitigation measures would aid in restoring hurricane-affected areas. Topics included the legislative package proposed by the National Trust and the American Institute of Architects, and other recommendations.
Among the topics the first panel discussed were the "Rebirth of Louisiana and New Orleans," assessment of critically damaged landmarks, additional technical support for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the field, homeowners' assistance, and federally-funded programs.
Members of the second panel discussed hurricane response issues including a disaster assistance package for historic preservation, federal tax incentives for historic rehabilitation, and damage assessment to historic structures. close

But girl you ain't the only one that's trying to be the only one
At least I admit that, if you get that, and you with that
Then, fuck, let's get it then
Lyric Meaning
The girl that Drake is with is tring to be his main girl/ girlfriend but they're a lot more women that want to be in that place. He's warning the girl, and if she doesn't mind that she's not going to be his only girl then Drake is saying they can still get it poppin'/ hook up.
Drake is also in another internal dilemma in this verse. Telling this particular girl that she has competition, Nowadays every girl is on his dick and he would love to find a girl who has some core values. Him admitting it and seeing if she is down with that lets him know what she's really after. If she isn't then its love which is really what he wants. If she is then she's just another hoe wanting fame, money, and excitement. The surplus amount of this type of girl have made Drake stop caring and trying.

Fortune Jongno HostelSeoul, South Korea
I do wish there were more space for socialising, but other than that this hostel was perfect for me. Really, really good location. The staff are incredibly genuine, friendly and helpful. The dorms are a good size and the beds are fine. I will definitely recommend this hostel to people in the future.
Step Inn Guest House and HostelKuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Great location and a very relaxed atmosphere. Member of staff we dealt with was pretty disorganised and slow. Tin roof outside our room meant that the rain sounded 10x louder than it should have and the AC was turned off but rattled all night.

Hostel LahSingapore, Singapore
This hostel is in a lovely district, full of good food and cute cafés. It's about a 5-10 min walk from the MRT, and it's right next to a bus stop which is incredibly convenient. The staff are really laid back but the place is spotless. I'll definitely stay here again. Great facilities.
Kyoto Hana HostelKyoto, Japan
My second time staying here. I love this hostel, especially the common area/kitchen. Lovely atmosphere, nice rooms.
Cabosu House Beppu HamayuBeppu Spa City Oita, Japan
Fantastic hostel with amazingly low prices. Where else can you sleep on a comfortable bed, make food in a pristine kitchen and bathe in a natural hot spring for 1500yen?!
Kyoto Hana HostelKyoto, Japan
Perfect location if you need to be near to Kyoto station. Really friendly staff, extremely clean bedrooms and bathrooms, lovely common area downstairs with a well-equipped kitchen and free tea! Perfect!
International Hostel Khaosan SapporoSapporo, Japan
Fantastic hostel. Perfect location, not far at all from Odori koen and Susukino. Felt really secure, they were strict about not just anybody walking in. Dorm was spacious and the AC worked well. Lovely bathrooms, extremely nice common areas - well equipped kitchen. I'd recommend this hostel to any of my friends.
SAKAI GUEST HOUSEOsaka, Japan
Lovely little hostel just outside of Osaka. I chose it because it wasn't far from KIX, but I'd definitely stay there again when visiting the Kansai area. Very friendly staff, I wish I could have stayed longer to chat!
Fukuoka Backpackers HostelFukuoka City, Japan
A really nice hostel, located about a 10-15 minute walk from JR Hakata. The kitchen facilities are great, the shower was powerful, and the beds were SO comfortable. The guy working at reception was friendly. I really enjoyed my two nights here. I didn't have a chance to socialise but I got the impression that it's a very social hostel. It has nice communal areas.
Capsule Hotel Asakusa River SideTokyo, Japan
Really enjoyed the experience of sleeping in a capsule, though the hotel has other 'normal' rooms too. The capsule rooms just feel like unusual dorms. Dorm and public bath were clean. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, even at 4 in the morning when we decided to venture to Tsukiji. I'll definitely recommend this place in the future. Great location for exploring Asakusa and Sky Tree.
Ace Inn ShinjukuTokyo, Japan
We stayed at a very unfortunate time - it was snowing and the hostel had a power cut. They offered us a full refund or half price stay. Since it was already midnight and snowing we stayed. Considering the circumstances, the staff handled all of our problems/questions pretty well.

J-Hoppers Osaka GuesthouseOsaka, Japan
Fantastic hostel in a very nice district of Osaka. The hostel is really near Fukushima station, and Umeda is in walking distance (if you like walking). I only met one member of staff and she was lovely and very helpful. When I came back to the hostel on Friday night there was a party going on, and everyone was very friendly. Excellent facilities and very welcoming, I'll definitely be back!
Matsuyama Youth HostelMatsuyama Dogo Spa, Japan
Nice place. You can tell that it has had many guests, it seems as though the hostel itself is well travelled with all the objects and things on the walls. It's cluttered but in a charming way. We were in a traditional tatami room, which was very clean and had a kotatsu and an AC heater. We needed to be in Dogo so it was a convenient location for us. I'd stay here again because it was very cheap!
Santiago Guesthouse KyotoKyoto, Japan
Fantastic hostel. The staff were really nice and even put up with my bad Japanese. Everything looks brand new and clean. The showers are great. There common area is small, but there's a lovely café downstairs. The bedrooms are huge, and each bunkbed feels like a castle. I'll be recommending this place to all my friends!
Guesthouse NaramachiNara, Japan
Absolutely lovely hostel in a beautiful little building. The common area is really charming and is very clean (as are the dorms). The only downside is that there's only one shower, but if you get your name on the rota as soon as you arrive, it shouldn't be an issue. I'll definitely stay there again when I'm next in Nara.
Akicafe Inn GuesthouseHiroshima, Japan
Very clean hostel with everything we needed. I did, however, think that during the day anyone could have walked into the hostel and into the dorms without anyone noticing, but maybe there were cameras I didn't know about.
Equity Point LondonLondon, England
We had a double room, which was very clean (smelt like the entire thing had been bleached, but hey- no dirt!). The bathroom was tiny, but fine. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a nice addition!
Ciao HostelFlorence, Italy
Extremely clean bathrooms and kitchens. Not really enough bathrooms for each "apartment" when it's fully booked, but not a major problem. It feels very much like a hotel. I'd recommend it to people travelling in a group of 4+, but other than that it's not a particularly great place to meet people. It's close to the station but about 20-25 minutes walk from most tourist attractions.
Walking Street Hostel PisaPisa, Italy
A well-located, clean, spacious hostel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and always present if you needed them. It would be nice to have a hob to cook on but a microwave is better than nothing, of course! I stayed for 3 nights and I'd certainly stay there again if passing through Pisa.
Hotel BenvenutiFlorence, Italy
We had a three bed private for one night. It was clean and in good order. Bathroom facilities are good. There were no facilities such as a kettle in the room, but it was very cheap so I wouldn't complain! The only thing I would complain about is how far the walk is from the centre. It's further than it sounds in the description from the station...

DENVER — Columbine used some effective second-half jabs followed up by a pair of haymakers in a Class 5A Jeffco League heavyweight bout against Mullen on Oct. 2.
The Rebels, ranked No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com 5A football poll, turned a 14-13 lead at halftime on the Mustangs' home field into an eventual 35-13 conference victory to keep Columbine (5-0, 3-0) undefeated on the season. It all started with a 16-play, 80-yard drive to start the second half that chewed up nearly nine minutes of the third quarter.
DENVER — Giving up a deep home run over the left field fence to Evergreen junior Jessica Bellatti got D'Evelyn senior pitcher Allison Frantz fired up Oct. 4.
Bellatti crushed a solo home run to start the top of the fourth inning on a cool Saturday morning on the Jaguars' home field. The home run trimmed D'Evelyn's lead to 4-1, but Frantz turned the mistake into a positive as the Jaguars went on to take a 10-1 victory.
By Craig Harper -- For the Times
BAILEY — For years, Platte Canyon has run roughshod over opponents from its double-wing formation featuring two backs lined up behind tight ends and a fullback about two yards behind a quarterback under center.
Packed in like sardines, the Huskies have made quick-hitting pitches and handoffs their trademark. The offense is rarely seen and, therefore, difficult to defend.
Dennis Pleuss - Sports Editor
LAKEWOOD — Nearing the midway point of the regular season, Columbine's defense looks like a well-oiled machine.
The Rebels (4-0, 2-0 in Class 5A Jeffco League) nearly pulled off a third straight shutout Sept. 24 against Ralston Valley (3-1, 1-1) in what was one of the most anticipated prep football games on the docket last week.
"With our defense, it's assignments, keys and execute," Columbine senior linebacker Nick Stout said after a 21-7 victory at Jeffco Stadium.
My days of being mistaken for a ball boy on the sidelines of a high school football game are long gone.
However, my enthusiasm for covering prep sports has never faded. I jumped at the chance when presented with the opportunity to become the new sports editor at the Columbine Courier, High Timber Times, Canyon Courier and Clear Creek Courant. Telling stories of student-athletes, coaches and teams through the written word and photos is what I was born to do.
A hiker-only trail on Jeffco Open Space will be rebuilt to connect Deer Creek Canyon Park and Hildebrand Ranch Park, and will accommodate horseback riders and bicyclists in the future, according to a plan approved Jan. 5 by the county commissioners.
The Geminids meteor shower is about to make its annual appearance, and Jeffco Open Space will host a watch party Saturday at Hildebrand Ranch Park.
The event will feature activities for both adults and kids as they experience the meteor shower and the rest of the night sky, said Mike Dempsey, an Open Space naturalist.
"The Geminids meteor shower happens every year in the middle of December, and what we do is ask folks to come out, bring some … chairs or blankets, and watch the shower," Dempsey said.
To better manage events in its parks, Jeffco Open Space is establishing new guidelines, which the Open Space Advisory Committee reviewed on Nov. 5.
Events attended by more than 200 people will be limited to five per year, with a maximum of one for each user type, said Dave Davenport, Open Space's outdoor recreation coordinator.
Also, events that fall on holidays or holiday weekends will not be considered, according to the revised park-permit guidelines.
The Be Wild, Jeffco coalition of Jeffco Open Space has received a $75,000 grant to encourage youths to experience the outdoors.
The funding from Great Outdoors Colorado is aimed at creating programs and expanding parks to improve access for young people, said Open Space spokeswoman Thea Rock.
Many Jeffco youngsters live in areas with gaps in nature connections, Rock said — similar to people who live in "food deserts" that lack readily accessible grocery stores.
"Maybe there is no park in their neighborhood," she said.
LAKEWOOD — It was good to be a junior tailback Sept. 25 at Jeffco Stadium.
In a Class 5A Jeffco League football battle between Bear Creek and Chatfield, a pair of junior running backs put up some monster numbers on a night when the Chargers were celebrating their homecoming. The Bears, led by junior running back Andre Renteria, outlasted Chatfield (1-3, 0-2 in league) for a 35-21 victory.

State Debuts Anti-Obesity Ads With Help From Hawaii Teens
Full audio available here:
A new set of advertisements may cause you to reconsider your beverage.
Governor Neil Abercrombie and the Department of Health have launched the "Rethink Your Drink" campaign. It's a new series of advertisements targeting teen and childhood obesity. It urges kids to put down the soda and start making healthier choices.
Department of Health Director Loretta Fuddy says that too often ads promote unhealthy, sugar-sweetened beverages.
The anti-obesity campaign ads were created using input from Hawaii students. Fuddy says in order for the ads to be effective, they need to resonate with younger viewers.
Governor Abercrombie continues to urge lawmakers to pass a bill that would place a tax on soda…which would generate funding for obesity prevention programs. The Senate Bill recently passed its second reading.

Create a sleek industrial look with modern comforter sets. Whether you are looking to style a college dorm room or shape your first city apartment into a contemporary space, choosing modern comforters are a great way convey simple luxury. Bold vibrant primary colors of red, yellow, or blue pop when placed with Scandi style decor in white, black or metal. Try an industrial style bed frame with long clean lines in gunmetal grey topped with a chevron print. There are many modern comforter sets queen size for larger spaces to choose from. Update a young teen girls room with a solid purple duvet over crisp white sheets and a Scandinavian bed frame. For a more masculine and urban feel, go for graphic black and white prints with stainless steel furniture. Hugo Boss and Echo offer great selections on and can be found in any size ranging from twin, twin xl, full, queen, and king.
Bold colors and striking designs, our selection of contemporary bed covers will make an attention grabbing decor statement in any bedroom. Choose from leading fashion designer collections in a wide variety of contemporary patterns, prints and designs. From bold color combinations to futuristic and patterns and prints we have the bed set for you. Available in all sizes, twin, full, queen, king and cal-king, our selection features the world leading home decor and bedding designers including Echo, Quiksilver, Roxy and Donna Karan New York. Add the finishing touch to your bedroom decor with our selection of urban bedding accessories including flat and fitted sheets, pillowcases, decorative pillows and shams, window treatments and even rugs. A boho look is a favorite for young women and female college students whose bohemian lifestyle carries over to their design style. Mizone has a great array of modern comforters to consider as well. To really achieve this Euro look it is key to keep things neat with under the bed storage and keeping counters clear of clutter. Modern comforter sets in luxury fabrics are worthwhile investments as they will hold up over time. Reading peer reviews on which companies put out the most highly rated products will help you to make an informed decision. Online searches for how to make the most use out of small spaces with contemporary styles may also provide you with examples of how to achieve this theme. Try adding geometric shaped accent pillows with clean edges to amp up the ultra-urban look. Adding window coverings can make the room appear more large, it may also act as insulation, as well as offer privacy. Look for lined and heavier fabrics if your main goal is to insulate or to block out light. For a more expansive look, match your drapery with modern comforter sets king size really round out the look. DKNY, Lacoste, and Calvin Klein all carry Soho loft style linens. More luxury end companies will use high quality fabrics that make them durable wash after wash. When updating a young childs room into a room for teens, modern sheet sets and comforters in a bright color of their choice, will completely transform the space and may very well be able to carry them through the college dorm years where urban and boho styles are prominent staples. If you keep in mind that simplicity is key, you will be able to easily obtain this style.

Alexander DeVoe Videos Favorite
The latest movie featuring Alexander DeVoe is Alexander DeVoe's Orgy Masters #3.Black director and producer Alexander DeVoe began directing adult films in 1994. Alexander DeVoe was married to black pornstar Diana DeVoe, and has actually starred in a few scenes with Diana. Alexander DeVoe's signature mark is his unique shooting style, often referred to as "DeVoism." "DeVoism is a fantasy experience for the viewer that is visually stimulating and erotic yet believable. I want the viewer to get caught up in the whole experience of each scene from the eye opening beginning, hit them with a twist in the middle and then kill them with wild sex at the end," explains the handsome director.

We stayed here one night and that was enough. Haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn in a long time and should have kept it that way. Our room was large, but not clean. An upholstered chair in our room had huge stains on it and on the throw pillow that was there. Would not sit on it as it looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time. The sheers too looked like they might have been white, however looked gray in appearance and dirty. We found a large smashed bug on them that looked like it had been there for a while. The walls were dirty as was the tile under the bathroom sink, the air conditioner did not work well and it felt cold and very damp. There is no complimentary breakfast and the continental breakfast is $9.99, we just had oatmeal and coffee off the menu, which cost us over $12. The front desk people, however, were very kind and accommodating and adjusted our bill after our complaints. It looks like it could be a great hotel if they updated by painting and doing thorough cleanings. I guess you get what you pay for as this was one of the cheaper priced hotels there.

Heartwarming: The Fountainhead
- Guy Francon gets 2 towards the end that prove, despite all their quarrels and inability or refusal to understand each other, he truly loves his daughter. First, when he hears Dominique is leaving her second husband, he calls her and tells her to come stay with him until the divorce is finalized (and her lover's trial is over). When she gets there, he has a plate of sandwiches and glass of milk waiting for her and doesn't hammer her with questions but just comforts her, assures her he knows the man she's chosen this time will make her happy, that he'll be acquitted, and that he's welcome to visit any time. Later, he sits with Dominique and Roark's other friends at his trial, "to the shocked disapproval of his friends."
- Dominique showing up to help Gail keep The Banner running — later topped by the moment when he wakes up in his office to find her there before he can put his Invincible-Tough-Guy mask on, and she embraces him and assures him that everything will be all right.
- Howard's and Dominique's good-bye after the Stoddard Trial.
- Howard's and Steven Mallory's first meeting, where the former pulls the latter out of the proverbial Slough of Despond.
- The novel can actually be said to contain an unintentional CMoH - the scene where the mentally and physically handicapped children move into what used to be the Temple of the Human Spirit. It's meant to be a terrifying and disgusting example of society prioritizing the needs of ugly freaks and deformed cripples over productive and heroic achievers, but when read today it comes across more like what it is on the surface - abandoned, unloved children without a future who'd likely have starved to death otherwise are taken to a good foster home run by loving caretakers who are determined to give them as good a life as possible. The moment where "Jackie" - the "creature" whose age and sex couldn't be determined - presents a picture of a dog with blue spots and five legs during Creative Hour and beams with pride is meant to cause derisive sneers from readers, but given how she was described as being a hopeless case with no potential in life, such an achievement is actually very impressive, even a testament to the hopeful future of the foster home.
- The effect is lessened by the Tear Jerker in the preceding paragraph where a group of slum children sneak into the playground and stare longingly at the kitchen and gymnasium inside before the ladies running the home chase them away, proving themselves to be nothing but hypocrites who are running an institution not because they want to help children but to boost their own reputations, and demonstrating that the sin of the home is not Kindness but Hypocrisy. The book's portrayal of this cruelty towards the street children in a negative light, condemning people for a lack of kindness, is quite the meta-CMoH.

This is Willy Wonka our newly adopted and heartworm positive 4 year old male Chihuahua.
Willy has been on your heartworm meds for 5 days now and already we are seeing a huge improvement in his activity levels. He went from sleeping all day, coughing, having little to no appetite and pretty much no drive to even get up and go potty, to an active, attentive, and more vibrant dog. After just 5 days we have seen a completely new Willy Wonka. The coughing has stopped as well!
My family & I just want to say thank you. We will keep you updated as the months go on and let you know how his next test comes back.
Amanda & Edith Anderson (and of course Willy Wonka)

American English: /ˈɪn ˌɡrup/
Translation of in-group in Spanish:
- [colloquial]capillita (feminine) [colloquial]Example sentences
- This heightened awareness becomes personally relevant when one commits to identifying with the ethnic in-group.
- I think there's another side to it as well, seen from the other side of the fence: incoming slang is a sort of secret language, expressing exquisitely shaded meanings that are shared among the in-group but are baffling to outsiders.
- Such dialects, almost by definition, are media of intimacy: 'mother tongues' used in the family and in-groups.
Definition of in-group in:

"While liberal worldviews are future- or progressive -oriented, conservative perspectives are more past-oriented, and in general, are interested in preserving the status quo." the report says. "The far right represents a more extreme version of conservatism, as its political vision is usually justified by the aspiration to restore or preserve values and practices that are part of the idealized historical heritage of the nation or ethnic community."
West Point center cites dangers of 'far right' in U.S., Washington Times, January 17th, 2003
There are a few truisms about "liberals" ("progressives", "left-wingers", "communists", "socialists"—all of which can be used interchangeably) that bear highlighting before we get into the above ridiculousness.
First, liberals [intentionally] abuse language beyond all recognition. (It is this M.O., after all, that gave rise to the term "Orwellian".) Consider "women's health" (read: in utero infanticide); "marriage equality" (read: men marrying horses); "fairness" (read: confiscation of people's earnings to buy votes); etc. And thanks to their (liberals') control of the public education system, generations have been miseducated and indoctrinated to such a degree that this kind of b.s. flies.
So one thing we must always be suspicious of whenever a liberal speaks, is that they'll be employing this forked-tongue abuse of language.
The first glaring example of this in the above quote is the use of the term "extremism." Be on the lookout for just how much play this word gets in the MSM and by political pundits these days. Note it will always and only be applied to conservatives. Why? The first order of business of any totalitarian regime is to paint all opposition to it as "extreme", thereby duping the useful idiots into believing their subjugation is the only "sober, rational" choice. And all totalitarian regimes are, by definition, far-left. Consider: How can a conservative (or, in liberals' parlance, "extreme, fringe, far-right") philosophy which, by definition, advocates for limited government and individual liberty, be totalitarian? So no, the Nazi's were not "far right extremists." They were socialists, just like the rest of 20th and 21st century radical left-wing totalitarians.
Another truism is that liberals come in two varieties: the manipulators, and the manipulated.
The manipulators are evil, using men as pawns to feed their lust for power, while the manipulated are simply delusional (courtesy either effective brainwashing or mere stupidity). It is difficult to determine whether the author of the above quote is the former or latter, but in either case, the absurdity of his contention about liberals being "future-oriented" while conservatives are "past-oriented" is easy enough to dissect.
Let's start.
What are liberals' two biggest platforms? Abortion and gay marriage (sorry—I mean "women's health" and "marriage equality").
Abortion. This means killing your offspring. Tell me, oh "party of science": In what version of evolutionary theory does killing your own offspring lend itself to evolutionary advancement?
Gay marriage. This means not being able to biologically reproduce. Sure, thanks to advancements in reproductive medicine there are means like in vitro fertilization and surrogates and such by which two dudes can pretend to father a child, but there is no mixing of the couple's DNA now, is there? So again, oh party of science, in which theory of evolution is the species advanced through pair-bonding over effectively cuckolded offspring? Has this ever been demonstrated to be an effective means of "evolutionary progress"? Certainly, as the party of science, there is ample evidence in your big quiver of scientific data to justify this urgent, sociological imperative of allowing sexual deviants to get married, right?
Of course there's no scientific justification for doing what liberals demand we all accept; there is only their blinding hatred of Christianity (amongst other targets of their bitter hate) that leads them to insist we allow for the murder of babies and to honor any and all forms of sexual indulgence as perfectly normal.
Speaking of Christianity, I would further argue that eschatological religions (Christianity & Judaism in particular) are far more future-oriented than progressive's secularism, which leads, invariably—invariably—to instant gratification, total self-indulgence, hedonism, etc.
Think about it: Both Christianity and Judaism have at their core a belief in "end times", whereby one's life must be lived with this future "goal" constantly in mind. Secularism, on the other hand? Well, that's all bread and circuses now, isn't it? I mean, what are the masses to do with themselves sans fear of heaven or hell or a just God? Oh, I know—internet porn!
So when conservatives argue against secularism and for a return to tradition and faith (Christianity or Judaism), it should be recognized, if one were being honest and aware of, you know, anything resembling reality, as being done out of a concern for the future of humanity. Liberals, on the other hand, while touting their dedication to the "future" and to "science" and "rationality" and "logic" and all other self-stroking descriptors, are really in it for nothing more than…you guessed it…absolute power, in the here-and-now.
How is that advocating secularism, which leads to hedonism, an agenda for absolute power? That was already discussed back here. But that's only once pincer of the two-pronged attack of the totalitarians. The other is the slow screw turns of an ever more expansive, more invasive, and more oppressive statist regime.
Witness the establishment and extreme growth (in size and power) of federal agencies like the TSA, the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, DHS, ATF, DOJ, IRS, etc. Notice any similarities to every other totalitarian regime that has existed over the past century? You should—because there's little light between what the United States of America is in 2013 compared to what the Soviet Union was in 1900's.
What—the 1900's? That was last century!
Yup. So the more the Liberal Establishment wraps its tentacles around the US population and its government and other power structures, the more we resemble a failed, century's-old socialist state.
And this is a liberal's conception of "future-oriented"?
Why yes—yes it is!
And lastly—let's not kid ourselves about what the author is implying about this "future-oriented" vs. "past-oriented" Orwellian spiel. He tips his hand at "…idealized historical heritage of the…ethnic community."
Translation into honest language? America's going majority black and Hispanic, whitey, so deal!
And if you resist, you're a radical, right-wing extremists who's effectively a terrorist and therefore should be squashed by the power of the US military!
Ok, oh "party of science": List for me all of the scientific and technological advancements brought to us by sub-Saharan Africans, Mexicans, and other such future Americans.
No, no—stop. I didn't ask for excuse-making about the legacy of colonialism and racism and all that other happy horseshit. I asked for a list of scientific and technological advancements brought to us by blacks and Hispanics. Name them.
Any chart toppers—say, like, putting a robot on another planet, putting men on our lone satellite, inventing every form of telecommunication enjoyed the world over, advancements in transportation technologies, quantum dynamics, relativity theory, the human genome project, discovery of the double helical structure of DNA, neuroscience, modern medicine, computers, iPhones, flat screens, etc.? No? Nothing?
Oh…these were all done by whites and Asians.
So, in your (liberals') "future-oriented", "party of science", "rational", "logical", "empirical" world-view, we should welcome replacing whites in the United States (not to mention throughout the rest of Western Civilization) with blacks and Hispanics because this will be to the benefit of human "progress"? This will be "the future"?
Tell me—based on your "science" and "evidence", will this—the dispossession of whites at the hands of blacks and Hispanics—lead to a renaissance of scientific and technological output, or will the US quickly devolve—a la South Africa, Detroit, New Orleans, etc.—into a cesspool of tribalism, corruption, poverty, disease, and overall social pathology, without so much as a hint of advancement in science or technology?
Oh "party of science", of "reason", of "intelligence" and "logic"—pray tell, what do your "scientific models" predict?
Yes, certainly it is we who insist on a return to religiously-grounded principles, on a return to a respect for what got us here, and on the preservation of the white race as the majority population of the United States of America—certainly it is we who are not paying attention to the future; it is we who have no vision of what that future holds; and it is we who are hopelessly stuck in the past. Certainly it is liberals who are the champions of all good things to come, for only they have the wisdom to see the future clearly, and the intelligence by which to forge the utopia beheld in their infallible minds.

Death is in the Air: Startling New Images from High-Rise
A clutch of amazing new stills from Ben Wheatley's High-Rise have been released into the wild. This photo essay explores how Wheatley taps into Ballardian myth beyond the source novel, alongside quotes from High-Rise itself.{More»}
High-Rise, Ben Wheatley's much-anticipated adaptation of the J.G. Ballard novel, goes on general release in March 2016. The first trailer was released recently, bringing excitement to the boil, for not only does the trailer adapt Ballard, it also homages Cronenberg.
In September 2015, Ben Wheatley's High-Rise, an adaptation of J.G. Ballard's novel, had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Reactions covered the entire spectrum: people loved it, people loathed it, people were bored by it. The UK premiere was in London recently, and Mike Holliday attended; he loved it. His verdict? A very worthy addition to the growing catalogue of Ballard feature films.
Fury Road, the fourth film in the Mad Max series, is released on 15 May. Ballard loved Mad Max 2, going so far as to anoint it 'Punk's Sistine Chapel'. To celebrate George Miller's latest masterpiece, we are proud to present this Ballardian primer to the Mad Max Universe.
Recently, Claire Walsh died after battling with cancer. She was an editor and literary publicist, and J.G. Ballard's long-time partner. Her intellect matched Ballard's and pushed him into new territories, inspiring some of his best work. Collecting quotes from Ballard, Claire and articles from Ballardian and beyond, this tribute to Claire Walsh illustrates their symbiotic relationship.
The Ballardian is proud to present Crash by Argentine graphic artist Sanyú, a graphic adaptation of a fragment of Ballard's novel by that name, originally published in 1991 in legendary Argentine magazine Fierro.
To celebrate the new paperback edition of Extreme Metaphors: Selected Interviews with J.G. Ballard, here's Simon Sellars' introduction to the book, which explores the true power of Ballard's conversational style.
Mike Holliday's interview with Ballard fan Rick McGrath, who self-published The JG Ballard Book, an anthology of archival Ballard interviews, articles about JGB and other Ballardiana, including unpublished Ballard letters.

"Enthusiasm for the mysterious emissaries of pulp": an interview with David Britton (the Savoy interviews, part 2a)»
The story of Savoy Books is one of the strangest in publishing history: a tale of lost opportunities, missed opportunities, repression, censorship, imprisonment … and, most importantly, an incredible legacy of work that continues to disturb, challenge and confront. All of those qualities are equally applicable to Savoy Records, the music arm of Savoy's black empire, as Simon Sellars discovers when he talks to Savoy co-founder David Britton. The interview features sound clips from selected Savoy releases.
The 032c Interview: Simon Reynolds on Ballard, part 2»
Simon Reynolds is one of the most recognizable music critics around. His work reached a peak with the publication of Rip It Up and Start Again, a timely excavation of post-punk: Cabaret Voltaire, PiL, Magazine, and so on. What's more, J.G. Ballard was a thread throughout the book, as Reynolds charted the influence of JGB — and especially his experimental novel, The Atrocity Exhibition — on the era. In this interview, as Simon meets Simon, these topics are discussed in the wake of JGB's death.

American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1546 (Union) and United States, Department of Defense, Defense Distribution Depot, San Joaquin (DDJC), Defense Logistics Agency, Tracy, California (Agency)
[ v59 p126 ]
59 FLRA No. 23
September 9, 2003
Before the Authority: Dale Cabaniss, Chairman, and
Carol Waller Pope and Tony Armendariz, Members
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator Joe H. Henderson filed by the Union under § 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Regulations. The Agency filed an opposition to the Union's exceptions.
The Union filed one grievance disputing the number of fire prevention personnel employed by the Agency and another grievance contesting the selection actions for battalion chief and lead fire protection inspector. The Arbitrator denied both grievances. For the reasons that follow, we deny the Union's exceptions.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
The Union filed two grievances on behalf of fire department employees. The first grievance (staffing grievance) claimed that the Agency failed to meet minimum fire department staffing standards mandated by Defense Department Instruction (DoDI) 6055.6, which are reiterated in Defense Logistics Agency Directive (DLAD) 4100.5 for components within DLA such as the Agency. The second grievance (selection grievance) claimed that the Agency reorganized the fire department and filled the battalion chief position and lead fire inspector position noncompetitively, all in violation of civil service regulations and the collective bargaining agreement. The grievances were consolidated and submitted to arbitration.
A. Staffing Grievance
At arbitration, with respect to the staffing grievance, the Union maintained that both DoDI 6055.6 and DLAD 4100.5 require the Agency to employ, at a minimum, seven fire prevention inspectors. In this regard, the Union argued that the parties' collective bargaining agreement requires the Agency to comply with all non-discretionary DoD directives and that DoDI 6055.6 is a non-discretionary DoD directive. The Union also argued that the agreement requires the Agency to comply with DoDI 6055.6 because it was promulgated to implement the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. In addition, the Union disputed the Agency's contention that the Agency had received an approved waiver of the staffing requirements of DoDI 6055.6. As a remedy, the Union requested the Arbitrator to direct the Agency to take all steps possible to ensure that the Agency has a fire prevention staff of at least seven fire prevention inspectors.
The Agency argued to the Arbitrator that the waiver of the staffing requirements that it received complied with DoDI 6055.6. In addition, the Agency asserted that DoDI 6055.6 was an external limitation on management rights under § 7106(a) that was not enforceable in arbitration as applicable laws. The Agency further asserted that the Union had not alleged or shown a violation of a contract provision negotiated pursuant to § 7106(b) of the Statute. The Agency also argued that if the Arbitrator were to find that DoDI 6055.6 was enforceable, the grievance should still be denied because DoDI 6055.6 provides the Agency with flexibility because it merely provides a baseline and directs the Agency to determine appropriate staffing levels after review of the Instruction.
The Arbitrator denied this grievance. Although he found that the waiver was not valid, he expressly determined as follows:
The Arbitrator has no authority to grant a remedy mandating staffing. It is beyond the scope of this Arbitrator's authority to grant the remedy sought by the Union relating to fire department staffing.
Management Rights, by virtue of 5 U.S.C. 7106, reserves to Management the right to determine staffing. DoDI 6055.5 and 5 U.S.C. 7106 allow the Defense Logistics Agency to vary the number of fire prevention positions. [ v59 p127 ]
Award at 28. In addition, the Arbitrator explained his determination, as follows:
[T]he FLRA has addressed the issue of an arbitrator's authority in issuing awards that affect management rights. The arbitrator can make an arbitration award, which affects management rights only where he finds a violation of applicable law, or a contract provision negotiated pursuant to the exceptions set forth in 7106(b). The Union did not show that exceptions to management rights apply.
Id. (citation omitted).
B. Selection Grievance
With respect to the selection grievance, the Union filed a motion for summary judgment with the Arbitrator because the Agency had never responded to this grievance. The Arbitrator denied the Union's motion for summary judgment. Although the Arbitrator noted with citation to Elkouri & Elkouri, How Arbitration Works (Marlin M. Volz & Edward P. Goggin eds., 5th ed. 1997) his belief that motions for summary judgment are not used in labor arbitrations, he denied the Union's motion on the basis of Article 36 of the parties' collective bargaining agreement. He found that Article 36, Section 6 provides that the negotiated grievance procedure is the exclusive procedure available to unit employees for resolving grievances and that, under Article 36, Section 10, a failure to meet time requirements permits the immediate escalation of the grievance to the next step. Accordingly, he ruled that there was no contractual basis for a summary judgment motion and that the Union's remedy for the Agency's failure to answer the grievance was to escalate it to the next step. On the merits, the Arbitrator denied the grievance.
III. Positions of the Parties
A. Union's Exceptions
1. Staffing Grievance
The Union contends that the award as it pertains to the staffing grievance is deficient because the Arbitrator erroneously ruled that he was precluded by § 7106 of the Statute from enforcing DoDI 6055.6 and DLAD 4100.5. The Union claims that these regulations pertain to the numbers, types, and grades of positions within the meaning of § 7106(b)(1) of the Statute and were enforceable in arbitration. In addition, the Union contends that even if DoDI 6055.6 and DLAD 4100.5 involve management rights under § 7106(a)(2) of the Statute, the award is still deficient. The Union claims that to the extent that fire department staffing affects management rights under § 7106(a)(2), DoDI 6055.6 and DLAD 4100.5 were enforceable by the Arbitrator because they constitute applicable laws.
The Union further contends that the award as it pertains to the staffing grievance is deficient to the extent that the Arbitrator relied on provisions of the parties' collective bargaining agreement to find that he was not authorized to award a remedy. The Union argues that the agreement does not operate to preclude the Arbitrator from imposing an external limitation on management rights under § 7106.
2. Selection Grievance
The Union contends that the award as it pertains to the selection grievance is deficient because the Arbitrator's reliance on How Arbitration Works was misplaced, and the Arbitrator's determination that the collective bargaining agreement precludes consideration of a motion for summary judgment is contrary to law and not a plausible interpretation of the contract. The Union maintains that the Arbitrator's reliance on How Arbitration Works for the proposition that a summary judgment motion is not used in labor arbitrations was misplaced because although use of summary judgments in arbitration is not common, they are used. The Union asserts that the award is contrary to law and not a plausible interpretation of the agreement because the provisions of Article 36 do not bar a motion for summary judgment.
B. Agency's Opposition
The Agency contends that the exceptions should be denied. The Agency asserts that the Arbitrator correctly concluded that he could not make an award mandating staffing. The Agency also asserts that as to the selection grievance, the Arbitrator correctly determined that a summary judgment was not appropriate
V. Analysis and Conclusions
A. The award as it pertains to the staffing grievance is not deficient.
The Union contends that the Arbitrator erred by relying on the parties' collective bargaining agreement to find that he was not authorized to award a remedy. We find that the Union has misconstrued the award. Although the Arbitrator cited and quoted the agreement's management rights provisions, the Arbitrator expressly based his determination that he was not authorized to award a remedy on § 7106 of the Statute and DoDI 6055.6, not on the parties' collective bargaining agreement. Consequently, the Union's exception provides no basis for finding the award deficient. Accordingly, we deny the exception.
The Union also contends that DoDI 6055.6 and DLAD 4100.5 were enforceable by the Arbitrator either because they pertain to matters covered by § 7106(b)(1) or because they constitute applicable laws within the [ v59 p128 ] meaning of § 7106(a)(2). The Union's contention provides no basis for finding the award deficient.
Section 2429.5 of the Authority's Regulations provides that the Authority will not consider issues that could have been, but were not, presented to the arbitrator. In its opening statement, the Agency argued to the Arbitrator that the staffing grievance should be denied because management had the right under § 7106 of the Statute to determine staffing. See Transcript at 251-52. In its post-hearing brief, the Agency specifically argued to the Arbitrator that DoDI 6055.6 was not enforceable in arbitration because it constituted an external limitation on management rights under § 7106(a) and that the Arbitrator could not issue an award that affects management rights because the Union had not alleged or shown a violation of an applicable law or contract provision negotiated pursuant to § 7106(b). See Post-hearing Brief at 5-8.
We have reviewed the entire record in this case, and there is no indication that, in response to the Agency's arguments, the Union argued to the Arbitrator that the regulations were enforceable in arbitration consistent with § 7106(a) either as pertaining to matters covered by § 7106(b)(1) or as applicable laws. As the Arbitrator specifically found, the Union "did not show that exceptions to management rights apply." Award at 28.
As these issues presented by the Union's exception should have been, but were not, raised by the Union to the Arbitrator, these issues are barred from consideration by the Authority under § 2429.5. See, e.g., United States Dep't of the Army, Corpus Christi Army Depot, Corpus Christi, Tex., 58 FLRA 87, 91 (2002).
Moreover, even if these issues were not barred from consideration, the Authority has consistently required that when an arbitrator has based an award on separate and independent grounds, an appealing party must establish that all of the grounds are deficient before the Authority can find that the award is deficient. See, e.g., United States Dep't of the Army, Blue Grass Army Depot, Richmond, Ky., 58 FLRA 314, 314 (2003) (Blue Grass Army Depot); United States Dep't of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Serv., Oxon Hill, Md., 56 FLRA 292, 299 (2000). When an appealing party has not addressed one of the grounds on which an arbitrator has denied the grievance, the Authority will deny the exceptions to other grounds on which the arbitrator denied the grievance because there is no basis on which the Authority can find the award deficient. See Blue Grass Army Depot, 58 FLRA at 315.
In this case, in denying the staffing grievance, the Arbitrator relied on separate and independent grounds for the award. As noted by the Union, he ruled that § 7106 reserves to the Agency the right to determine staffing. However, he also ruled that DoDI 6055.6 allows the Agency to vary the number of fire prevention positions. The Union does not contend that the Arbitrator erred in finding that DoDI 6055.6 allows the Agency to vary the number of fire prevention positions.
Consequently, the Union provides no basis on which we can find the award deficient. Accordingly, we deny the Union's exception. [*]
