He's just an elected politician and being elected doesn't mean he has a right
to know everything about our security and our projects.
"There can be no levels of security clearance above the POTUS"
REMEMBER: The POTUS is only a politician. Do you really think they let the leader of a country know EVERYTHING? He just runs the country, and some things are better kept away from a person who has that much power. Even if he does have the highest security clearance, do YOU think the government will show him EVERYTHING? I don't think so.
So, I disagree, I can't prove it, but I think the President doesn't know what some of these agencies keep locked up behind those doors.edit on 25-9-2013 by wofat18 because: (no reason given)
Two words - plausible deniability.
Also, I agree with other posters here, POTUS is an elected official, and a short term one at that, at the best, for eight years.
Why should he (or she) know the nations secrets once they return to civilian life? It's a high security risk to have someone outside of the control of these circles knowing certain facts, I'm sure.

Little is known about the value and emotional consequences of expressing anger on the Internet. Rant-sites provide an outlet for anonymous, angry outbursts. How people feel after reading and writing rants and the effects of this behavior is explored in an article in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, (http://www.liebertpub.com/cyber) a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers (http://www.liebertpub.com). The article is available online on the Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking (http://www.liebertpub.com/cyber) website.
"Anger on the Internet: The Perceived Value of Rant-Sites (http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/cyber.2012.0130)," by Ryan Martin, PhD, and coauthors, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, presents the results of two studies. One study assessed whether individuals felt calmer or angrier after ranting on an Internet site, and whether people who frequent rant-sites are more likely to have problems related to anger. The second study evaluated how people reacted emotionally to reading and writing rants online—whether they became more or less happy or angry.
"The two studies seem to indicate that both reading and writing on rant-sites tend to be unhealthy practices, suggesting persons with maladaptive expression styles," says Brenda K. Wiederhold, PhD, MBA, BCIA, Editor-in-Chief of Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, from the Interactive Media Institute, San Diego, CA. "It will be interesting to explore in future studies if this finding extends to other social networking sites as well."
Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking (http://www.liebertpub.com/cyber) is a peer-reviewed journal published monthly online with Open Access options (http://www.liebertpub.com/openaccess/cyberpsychology-behavior-brand-social-networking/10/) and in print that explores the psychological and social issues surrounding the Internet and interactive technologies, plus cybertherapy and rehabilitation. Complete tables of content and a sample issue (http://online.liebertpub.com/toc/cpb/15/6) may be viewed on the Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking (http://www.liebertpub.com/cyber) website.

The last thing I needed was something new to be obsessed about. I simply have no time. Honestly, I try to just keep to myself, stay focused on my current obsessions and just keep walking, telling myself "do not look up"… I'm just like a fish in the uncharted creative waters when it comes to crafts, tantalized by a wiggly worm that dangles in front of me… I just gotta get a closer look! Hmmm… Looks VERY interesting. Hey, I can do that! I just can't help myself and lunge forward and lose complete control… {sigh}
Sadly, hooked is an understatement when it comes to my latest obsession with free online printables. I had no clue that printables evolved beyond kids basic coloring pages. I'm not sure how I missed it but there is an amazing smorgasbord of free stuff like personalized labels, beautiful stationary, calling cards, art, kids Birthday party kits, monograms, fun recipe cards, signs and SOOO much more! Free!!
Here are a few of my favorite free things I have found online: Enjoy.

Thank you for contacting U.S. Bank using our online services.
We have received your request and we are more than happy to assist with your inquiry. Upon review, we show that you have a new Gold Checking account and a Package Money Market Savings account. This is called a Gold Package. As a valued U.S. Bank Gold Checking package customer, your fee waiver options are as follows:
- Maintain an average daily balance of $2500.00 or more in your checking account
- A Monthly direct deposit of $500.00 or more
- An automatic payment to a U.S. Bank Loan or Line of Credit or U.S. Bank Credit Card
- An automatic transfer to a U.S. Bank Investment
If the $25.00 transfer is cancelled, this will not effect the fee waiver options like on your previous Silver Checking account. However, if you do not maintain one of the above options, a monthly maintenance fee of $12.95 or $10.95 with online statements, will be assessed.
We do show that you have a U.S. Bank Credit Card. If you were to set up an automatic monthly payment to the credit card from your Gold Checking, this would waive the monthly fee.
I hope this information was helpful. Thank you for choosing U.S. Bank and we look forward to servicing your financial need.

the term states," Earn your cash bonus by opening a new consumer checking account by November 30, 2012 and setting up a recurring direct deposit of at least $100 within 60 days of account opening."
no where does it say that it has to be a silver, gold or platinum checking account.
I'll look further into this one...
Remeber to ask for "SILVER checking":
Options to Avoid the Monthly Maintenance Fee
• $25+ monthly auto transfer to a Package Money Market Savings account OR
• Average account balance of $1,500 or more,3 OR
• Combined monthly direct deposits totaling $500 or more
Looks to me like there is no fee or waiver needed for Easy Checking? I know it says otherwise on the actual site, but if I put in my zip code and read the PDF [usbank.com] it shows no fee so I just want to make sure.

Building Bridges: Progress and challenges in embracing inclusivity within service-learning teams
Current Service learning research involving inclusion of students with disabilities has focused on services to K-12 students and/or adults with disabilities. Less research has focused on integrated service-learning teams at the post-secondary level. Young adult university students with disabilities participated in week-long summer service-learning experiences in New Orleans with their non-disabled team peers, with the goal of team inclusivity. Analysis of data from two summers yielded key findings with implications for fostering fuller inclusion.

Long Term Community partnerships: Lessons learned from Group Development Theory
Long-term community partnerships follow many of the common developmental processes found in small group theory. One aspect of small group theory addresses group stages of development and how groups move through rather predictable changes. This theoretical model can be valuable in helping partners understand the changes in their relationship. This presentation examines this theoretical model and then applies it to a case study of a 6-year university-community partnership.

Thoroughbred Room
Research on Service-Learning: An Introduction
This session is the first in a series of four that draws on the recently released edited volume Research on Service Learning: Conceptual Frameworks and Assessment (Clayton, Bringle, & Hatcher, Eds. 2013. Stylus). Participants in this session will pre-register and receive an advance copy of the chapter "Research on Service Learning: An Introduction" (written by the editors), which will serve as the basis for in-depth discussion. The chapter offers a conceptual model for research as the integration of theory, design, measurement, and practice; considers the relationships among research, assessment, and evaluation; and provides an overview of intentional course design for high-quality service-learning and associated research. Discussion will focus on the use of theory in research and on connections between research and practice as well as on issues identified by participants.
Participants in subsequent sessions in this series, each of which are stand-alone, are not required to have attended this session.

Striving for a Culture of Inclusive, Organic, and Appropriately Vulnerable Reflection
Framed by stories of students and faculty from the Students Engaging and Responding through Volunteer Experiences Living Learning Community (SERVE LLC) at Virginia Tech, attendees will discuss the following series of proposed "critical elements" in striving for the high quality reflection we might all desire: (1) cultivating a sense of belonging among a group; (2) encouraging and embracing a bottom-up culture of deep conversation; and (3) appropriately, vulnerably, opening ourselves to the complexity of service.

The Meaning of Service: Making it Matter to Students
The Meaning of Service (MoS) is a discussion series intended to generate conversations about topics such as social justice, the public good, service, diversity, need, and similar issues. The Office of Community Service (OCSL) has been hosting this program since fall of 2009 at the University of Southern Mississippi for student volunteers. During the fall 2012 semester, 30 students participated in the program citing the experience as eye-opening and informative. Students particularly noted the importance of not make initial judgments but seeking to learn about the people they were serving both before and as they were serving. Presenters explain how this program has increased the quality of civic engagement program and will actually run a Meaning of Service discussion with participants

No Title: Will be Sending in One
This case study example of Appalachian entrepreneurship leadership development illustrates the framework and strengths of service-learning when delivering content associated with rural community economic development efforts (adventure tourism, small business development, and social networking) over five years. The unique characteristics and social barriers stymied by antiquated beliefs and customs of the distressed counties are integrated within service learning pedagogy into a framework that may be used by others who might develop similar course.

One Day Service: The Path to Civically Minded Graduates or Indifferent Citizens
This presentation will center on VT Engage's programmatic transformation with our extracurricular service projects. The trend in high education is to have students volunteer in their communities, but typically this is limited to a one day adventure. In some cases these adventures do more community harm than good and leave students feeling euphoric about 'helping' rather than thinking critically about their experience. The reflection is missing; the connection to the community is missing and a deeper understanding of social issues in their communities is lost. VT Engage is on a path to reverse this trend.

Beyond Student-Centered: Engagement-Grounded Teaching and Learning
Service-learning is often lauded as part of higher education's paradigmatic shift away from teacher-centered classrooms and, correspondingly, defined as a student-centered pedagogy. At the same time, service-learning framed as democratic engagement positions all participants—not only students—as co-educators, co-learners, , and co-generators of knowledge. Perhaps, then, service-learning is leading ongoing paradigm shift—into what might be called "engagement-grounded" rather than "student-centered."
In this interactive session we will explore together the possibilities of framing teaching and learning as "engagement-grounded." We will discuss the meaning and implications of positioning all participants as co-educators, co-learners, and co-generators of knowledge and the concrete tasks associated with bringing democratic engagement to life in the design and implementation of service-learning. The session will bring interested Gulf South Summit participants into an ongoing, multi-venue conversation contributing to emerging scholarship on democratic engagement.

Alert: This thing just went over the maximum scale limit. If that makes sense, the max is 8, it just flirted with 8.1
That makes this the most powerful storm ever recorded.
"If it maintains its strength, there has never been a storm this strong making landfall anywhere in the world," said Jeff Masters, founder of Weather Underground in Ann Arbor, Mich. "This is off the charts."
www.thespec.com...edit on 7-11-2013 by canucks555 because: (no reason given)
(Reuters) - Haiyan, potentially the strongest recorded typhoon to make landfall, slammed into the Philippines' central islands on Friday, forcing millions of people to flee to safer ground or take refuge in storm shelters.
The category-five super typhoon whipped up giant waves as high as 4-5 metres (12-15 feet) that lashed the islands of Leyte and Samar, and was on track to carve a path through popular holiday destinations.
Haiyan is also forecast to pass close to the Philippines' second-largest city Cebu, home to around 2.5 million people, and also buffet the capital Manila.
"The super typhoon likely made landfall with winds near 195 mph. This makes Haiyan the strongest tropical cyclone (typhoon) on record to make landfall," said Jeff Masters, a hurricane expert and director of meteorology at U.S.-based Weather Underground.
Super Typhoon Haiyan has sustained winds of 195 mph (315 kph) and wind gusts of 235 mph (380 kph), according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, besting the previous record held by Hurricane Camile, which struck the US in Mississippi with 190 mph (305 kph) winds in 1969.
Masters said he expected the damage in Guiuan, the fishing town of about 40,000 people that was the first to be hit after Haiyan swept in from the Pacific Ocean, to be ``catastrophic''. ``Perhaps the greatest wind damage any city on Earth has endured from a tropical cyclone in the past century,'' Masters wrote.
Two people were killed in Cotabato province - an adult and a one-year-old - and a woman was fatally hit by a falling tree in Cebu, officials said.

'Beauty has a face...and I'm gonna claw it to shreds', should be the full title. I'm sorry but she looks fierce. Beauty or not, she looks ready for a fight. But it's a really gripping photo. Well done and I'm sure she's gentle as a kitten.
Oh, she's gorgeous :D The warmth of the photo only enhances it!
Awesome photo!

iPOP at the Cannes Film Festival, Vol. 2
by Brian Brooks/indieWIRE
Michael Moore hit the Croisette over the weekend, participating in two panels at the Variety Beach Club right smack on the beach. Beforehand, Moore hung out at the American Pavilion where all the Yanks (and the American's friends) eat, drink, schmooze, sun, work, and see panels (the first one with "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things" director Asia Argento). "Tarnation" director Jonathan Caouette participated in the American directors panel hosted by Roger Ebert, which Moore also joined, along with "Mondovino" director Jonathan Nossiter and others. And, when folks weren't rushing off to screenings and events, one of the most popular places for confirmed night-owls to hang out again this year is the patio bar at Le Grand Hotel...
Oscar-winner Michael Moore didn't seem quite ready to fully embrace the warm Mediterranean afternoon in his black jacket the other day during his first visit to the American Pavilion, which occupies a prime beach-front in the Village International. Industry and press alike are in stitches to see his latest film, "Fareneheit 9/11," the focus of distribution controversy lately. Not surprisingly, Moore was surrounded by admirers and cameras soon after this quick snap.

"Tarnation" director Jonathan Caouette was one of the participants who joined Roger Ebert at the American directors panel Ebert hosted at the Variety Beach Club off the Croisette. Ebert praised his film (which took part in the Roger Ebert Overlooked Film Festival) which is in Cannes as part in the Directors Fortnight. Caouette had to duck out of the panel a bit early for his film's debut, which culminated in a rousing standing ovation.

Asia Argento and JT LeRoy kicked off the American Pavilion's panel series Sunday afternoon. Aregento and LeRoy were both late to their panel, undoubtedly causing a bit of panic to organizers. The large crowd grumbled a bit, but took it in stride after they arrived, giving them a warm reception. The reclusive LeRoy, the author of the book that inspired the film, "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things," seemed nervous on stage initially, but then seemed to almost enjoy the conversation.

Also a bit nervous at the start of a dinner party in honor of "Mondovino" was the film's director Jonathan Nossiter (right). If there was any behind-the-scenes hitch happening, nobody lucky enough to secure an invitation to the dinner noticed. Nossiter and staff poured exquisite wines from some of Europe's honored growers, including subjects in his film, which takes a look at the affects of globalization on the culture and industry of wine. John Sloss (Cinetic Media/Sloss Law), who is repping the film, has a chat with Nossiter between tastings.

iPOP happened upon a cool duo at the "Mondovino" dinner. Our table, which included a crew from Variety, didn't seem to be exactly high on the serving staff's ranking in the dispensing of the wine, but Paradiso Filmed Entertainment president Martien Uyttendaele (right) and the BeNeLux-based (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) distributor's sales & marketing manager Yosha Margherita were allies in the pursuit of fine wine (and their French ability was fantastique!).

The arts group that managed a mini-riot at the Festival des Cannes' opening last week continued their action over the weekend with small demonstrations and dramatic photo ops such as this on the Croisette, which made its way into the local papers this week.

United Artists acquisitions exec Jack Turner, Cinetic Media's Erin Heidenreich, and Samuel Goldwyn acquisitions exec Peter Goldwyn take a load off late-night over the weekend at Le Grand Hotel, at the popular bar in the patio. The venue continues to attract film industry people this year.

Dreamworks held a huge press event for its upcoming animated film "Shark Tale," bringing out some star power for promotion including Angelina Jolie, Will Smith and Jack Black as well as Jeffrey Katzenberg. During the press luncheon, Black took it upon himself to chat informally with some of the press, while standing and eating his food.
Photo by Brian Brooks/indieWIRE
After lunch, press from around the world lined up along the pier and beachfront for quick interviews with Jolie, Black and Smith. The stars floated by on a shark-shaped boat off shore later on as photographers shot furiously. This pic captures only some of the actual press presence there, not to mention the number of people with television cameras and professional cameras lining the entrance to the Carlton Hotel's beach who did not get in.
