Yesterday I had some fun doing a session about running an ASP.NET Core application on a Linux based Docker container at the GET.NET conference in Łódź, Poland.
The slides can be found here, the Docker image here and the sample code here.
Building a Docker image can take a bit of time depending on what you have to do. Specially when you have to do something like DNU Restore, DotNet Restore, NPM Install or Nuget Restore builds can become slow because packages might have to be downloaded from the internet.
Take the following Dockerfile which does a DNU Restore.
FROM microsoft/aspnet:1.0.0-rc1-update1-coreclr
MAINTAINER Maurice de Beijer <firstname.lastname@example.com>
COPY . ./app
WORKDIR ./app
RUN dnu restore
CMD ["--server.urls", "http://*:5000"]
ENTRYPOINT ["dnx", "web"]
Running the Docker build multiple times without any changes is quite fast. To time it I am using the command:
time docker build -t dotned .
FROM microsoft/aspnet:1.0.0-rc1-update1-coreclr
MAINTAINER Maurice de Beijer <email@example.com>
COPY ./project.json ./app/
WORKDIR ./app
RUN dnu restore
COPY . ./app
CMD ["--server.urls", "http://*:5000"]
ENTRYPOINT ["dnx", "web"]
Using some functional principals and using immutable data can really make your JavaScript a lot better and easier to test. While using immutable data in JavaScript seems like something really complex it turns out is really isn't that hard to get started with if you are already using Babel. And while libraries like Immutable.js are highly recommended we can start even simpler.
Babel does a lot of things for you as it lets you use all sorts of next generation JavaScript, or ECMAScript 2015 to be more correct. And it is quite easy to use whatever your build pipeline is or even as a standalone transpiler if you are not using a build pipeline yet.
When you want to use immutable data the functional array functions map() and filter() as well as spread properties are really useful. Here are a few examples to get you started.
Changing a property on an object
var originalPerson = {
firstName: 'Maurice',
lastName: ''
var newPerson = {
lastName: 'de Beijer'
The …originalPerson is using the spread properties which expands all properties. The lastName: 'de Beijer' comes after it so it overrules the lastName from the originalPerson object. And the result is a new object.
firstName: "Maurice",
lastName: "de Beijer"
Simple and easy. And as we are never changing objects we can replace the var keyword with the new const keyword to indicate variables are never reassigned.
const originalPerson = {
firstName: 'Maurice',
lastName: ''
const newPerson = {
lastName: 'de Beijer'
Adding something to an array
Usually when adding something to an array either an assignment or a push() function is used. But both just mutate the existing array instead of creating a new one. And with the pure functional approach we do not want to modify the existing array but create a new one instead. Again really simple using spread properties.
const originalPeople = [{
firstName: 'Maurice'
const newPeople = [
{firstName: 'Jack'}
In this case we end up with a new array with two objects:
firstName: "Maurice"
}, {
firstName: "Jack"
Removing something from an array
Deleting from an array is just as simple using the array filter() function.
const originalPeople = [{
firstName: 'Maurice'
}, {
firstName: 'Jack'
const newPeople = originalPeople.filter(p => p.firstName !== 'Jack');
And we end up with an array with just a single person.
firstName: 'Maurice'
Updating an existing item in an array
Changing an existing items is just as easy when we combine spread properties with the array map() function.
const originalPeople = [{
firstName: 'Maurice'
}, {
firstName: 'Jack'
const newPeople = originalPeople.map(p => {
if (p.firstName !== 'Jack') {
return p;
return {
firstName: 'Bill'
And that is all it takes to change Jack to Bill.
firstName: "Maurice"
}, {
firstName: "Bill"
Really nice and easy and it makes for very easy to read code once you are familiar with the new spread properties.

Docker has becoming a popular way of hosting Linux based applications the last few years. With Windows Server 2016 Docker containers are also coming to Windows and are likely going to be a popular way of hosting there as well. But as Windows support is just in CPT form right now and ASP.NET is also moving to Linux with the CoreCLR I decided to try and run an ASP.NET web site on a Linux based container.
To get started I installed the ASP.NET 5 beta 8 using these steps. Once these where installed I created a new ASP.NET MVC project. Just to show where the application is running I added a bit of code to the About page. When running from Visual Studio 2015 using IIS Express this looks like this:
The extra code in the HomeController:
1: public class HomeController : Controller
2: {
3: private readonly IRuntimeEnvironment _runtimeEnvironment;
5: public HomeController(IRuntimeEnvironment runtimeEnvironment)
6: {
7: _runtimeEnvironment = runtimeEnvironment;
8: }
10: public IActionResult About()
11: {
12: ViewData["Message"] = "Your application is running on:";
13: ViewData["OperatingSystem"] = _runtimeEnvironment.OperatingSystem;
14: ViewData["OperatingSystemVersion"] = _runtimeEnvironment.OperatingSystemVersion;
15: ViewData["RuntimeType"] = _runtimeEnvironment.RuntimeType;
16: ViewData["RuntimeArchitecture"] = _runtimeEnvironment.RuntimeArchitecture;
17: ViewData["RuntimeVersion"] = _runtimeEnvironment.RuntimeVersion;
19: return View();
20: }
21: }
With the following Razor view:
1: @{
2: ViewData["Title"] = "About";
3: }
4:
@ViewData["Title"].

5:
@ViewData["Message"]

7:
OperatingSystem: @ViewData["OperatingSystem"]

8:
OperatingSystemVersion: @ViewData["OperatingSystemVersion"]

9:
RuntimeType: @ViewData["RuntimeType"]

10:
RuntimeArchitecture: @ViewData["RuntimeArchitecture"]

11:
RuntimeVersion: @ViewData["RuntimeVersion"]

13:
Use this area to provide additional information.

So far so good and we can see the application runs just fine on Windows using the full CLR. From Visual Studio we can also run the application using Kestrel with the CoreCLR as shown below.
Having installed the Docker-Machine we can also run this same website in a Docker container on Linux. The first thing we need to do is create a Dockerfile with the following contents:
1: FROM microsoft/aspnet:1.0.0-beta8-coreclr
3: COPY ./src/WebApplication3 ./app
5: WORKDIR ./app
6: RUN dnu restore
8: ENTRYPOINT dnx web --server.urls http://*:80
With this container definition in place we need to build the Docker container itself using the docker build -t web-application-3 . command. This is executed from the Docker terminal window in the main folder of our web application where the Dockerfile is located. This will build our Docker image which we can now see see when running docker images.
With this new image we can run it using: docker run -d -p 8080:80 web-application-3
With the application running we can navigate to http://192.168.99.100:8080/Home/About where 192.168.99.100 is the IP address of the virtual machine running the Linux machine with the Docker daemon.

In my previous blog post I explained about the Data Storage Maturity Model and how you would get a much more mature and capable application if you used Event Sourcing. That blog post did bring up some interesting question.
Given that Event Sourcing was at the top of the pyramid you could conclude that you should always aim for the the top and use Event Sourcing. Aiming high is a noble cause and sounds like the right thing but it turns out that it isn't that simple.
If your application is relative simple and you don't have much of a domain model there is little point in Event Sourcing your data storage. For example a To-Do application probably has little reason to do so. Maybe if you want to do advanced analysis over the history of to-do items there is a need but in most cases all you need to do is persist a few items of data to some persistent store for later retrieval. And that sounds like level 1, CRUD with structured storage, will do quite well while adding Event Sourcing would just complicate things.
There is also a differentiation to be made inside of applications. Suppose you are doing a complex banking app. In that case Event Sourcing would make perfect sense for your domain layer. However there is more then just your domain layer. Every application has utility data, for example a list of countries in the world. This is a mostly static reference table and using Event Sourcing for data like that would be over engineering. Again just using a CRUD store for this data would be more then enough even though all financial transaction data is stored using Event Sourcing.
So I guess the answer is: It depends but probably not for everything in your applications or maybe not at all
Another question that came up is that of Data Access technology to be used. Again this is kind of a hard question to give a simple answer to. It also depends on whether you are looking at the Event Sourced domain model or the projected Read Model.
For the Event Sourcing side I really like Greg Young's GetEventStore which can be used as a standalone server or embedded client. You can either use an HTTP API but as I mainly use .NET on the server it's native C# client is the way to go.
For the projected Read Model it really depends on what you are using as the data storeage mechanism. In the case of a relational database you could use NHibernate or Entity Framework but these are probably a bit overkill and will hurt performance. On most cases you will be better of with one of the Mirco ORM's out there like Dapper, ServiceStack.OrmLite or something similar.
I prefer using a NoSQL database though and really like RavenDB or MongoDB. Currently I am using Redis with the ServiceStack.Redis client in a sample project and that is also working really well for me.
So again it really depends on your preferences but choosing for speed and flexibility is a good thing.
There are many ways of storing data when developing applications, some more mature and capable than others. Storing data of some sort or another in an application is common. Extremely common to be exact as almost every application out there needs to store data is some way or another. After all even a game usually stores the users achievements.
But it's not games I am interested in. Sure they are interesting to develop and play but most developers I know are busy developing line of business (LOB) applications of some sort or another. One thing line of business application have in common is they work with and usually store data of some sort.
When looking at data oriented applications we can categorize data storage architectures based on different characteristics and capabilities.
The most basic way of working with data is just dumping whatever the users works with in the UI to some proprietary data file. This typically means we are working with really simple Create Read Update Delete (CRUD) type of data entry forms and not even storing the data in a structured way. This is extremely limited in capabilities and should generally be avoided at all costs. Any time you have to work with a slightly larger data set or update the structure you are in for a world of hurt.
At level 1 we are still working with CRUD style data entry forms but at least we have started using a formal database of some sorts. The database can be a relational database like SQL Server or MySQL but a NoSQL database like MongoDB is equally valid. While data database used allows us to do much more the user interface is not much better. We are still loading complete objects and storing them in a CRUD fashion. This might work reasonably well in a low usage scenario with a low change of conflicts but is really not suitable for anything more complex than a basic business application. We are only storing the current state of the data and as the database stores whatever is send from the UI, or business processing code, there is no sense of meaning to any change made.
When we need to develop better and more complex business applications we really should use Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) as minimum. In this case we separate the read actions from the write actions. We no longer just send an object to be stored from the user interface to the back end but we are sending commands to update the data. These commands should be related to business actions the application works with. So in other words if a business analyst sees the command names he should be able to make sense of what they do without looking at the code implementations.
While this is a lot better we are still only storing the current state of the data. And that is the problem as it can be very hard to figure out how something got to be in a given state. So if a users detects that something is wrong with the data and suspects a bug in the program we might just have a hard time figuring out how it got to be that way. And once we do fixing the issue might be extremely hard as well.
There are other limitations with just storing the current state like not being able to produce reports, or only at great difficulty, the ask for. Or possibly alter business rules after the fact. And if you think that doesn't happen just try working on a large government project where the slowness of the decision process means that rules are only definitely updated after the fact.
The most advanced level to be working at is using Event Sourcing (ES). An events sourced application resembles a CQRS style application in a lot of ways except for one vital part. With an Event Sourced application we are no longer storing the current state of the data but we are storing all events that lead up to this. All these events are stored as one big steam of changes and are used to deduce the current state of the data in the application. These events typically never change once written, after all we don't change history (although our view of it might change over time). This has some large benefits as we can now track exactly how the state came to be as it is making it easier to find bugs. And if the bug is in how we used those business events that we can fix the bug and often that is enough to deduce the correct state.
The usual queries done in an application are much harder on an event stream. In order to fix that issue the events are usually projected out to a read model making querying much easier. This read model it normally stored in some appropriate database like SQL Server or a NoSQL database but could also just be kept in memory. However the event stream is the true source of the truth and not the projections as these are just a derived result. This means we can delete all projections and completely rebuild them from the existing events resulting in much more flexibility. Need to do an expensive query in version two of an application? Well just create a projection designed for that purpose and rebuild it from all previously stored events. This is similar to our view of history changing.
There are some more benefits from storing events instead of just the current state. We can now do temporal queries, or queries over time, on how the data got to be how it is. These kind of queries have lot of goals like for example fraud detection. Another possibility is displaying the state at any previous point in time and running reports or analysis on the data as it was then.
It's kind of hard to say at what level you should be working. Level 0, limited as it is might be appropriate for your application. Lots of applications are at level 1 and just basic forms over data CRUD applications. In some that might be appropriate but in a lot of cases that is actually sub optimal. Level 2 with CQRS is a pretty sweet place to be. You can capture the business intent with command and have a reasonable flexibility. At level 3 with event sourcing you gain a lot of flexibility and strength. If you are doing a more complex business application you should be working on this level. But as always there is no free lunch so don't go there is the application is really not that complex
In general AngularJS applications are quite fast, specially when compared to more traditional browser based applications that constantly post back to the server. However there are always a few things that will help performance and make an application even faster.
Normally AngularJS adds several things like CSS classes and some scope related properties to DOM elements. This is not really needed to run the application and is really only done to help development tools like Protractor and Batarang. When the application is in production that is not really needed and you can save some overhead by disabling this using the $compileProvider.debugInfoEnabled() function.
1: demoApp.config(function($compileProvider) {
2: $compileProvider.debugInfoEnabled(false);
3: });
Another option to speed up your application is by using explicit dependency injection annotations. If the DI annotations are not present AngularJS has to parse functions to see the parameter names, something that can be avoided by adding the explicit annotations. The annotations can be added manually, which can be tedious to do, or automatically using something like ng-annotate with either a Gulp or Grunt task.
Adding the ngStrictDi directive to the same element as the ngApp directive can help you find missing annotations.
Another helpful option is to reduce the number of $apply() calls that are the result of $http request finishing. When you are doing multiple $http requests when a page loads each will trigger a $apply() function causing all watches and data bindings to be reevaluated. By combining these into a single $apply() call for requests that are done at almost the same time we can increase the load speed of you application, something that can be done using $httpProvider.useApplyAsync().
1: demoApp.config(function($httpProvider) {
2: $httpProvider.useApplyAsync(true);
3: });
Testing AngularJS directives usually isn't very hard. Most of the time it is just a matter of instantiating the directive using the $compile() function and interacting with the scope or related controller to verify if the behavior is as expected. However that leaves a bit of a gap as most of the time the interaction between the directives template and it's scope isn't tested. With really simple templates you can include them in the template property but using the templateUrl and loading them on demand is much more common, specially with more complex templates. Now when it comes to unit testing the HTTP request to load the template if not doing to work and as a result the interaction isn't tested. Sure it is possible to use the $httpBackend service to fake the response but that still doesn't use the actual template so doesn't really test the interaction.
It turns out testing the template isn't that hard after all, there are just a few pieces to the puzzle. First of all Karma can server up other files beside the normal JavaScript files just fine, so we can tell it to serve our templates as well. With the pattern option for files we can tell Karma to watch and server the templates without including them in the default HTML page loaded. See the files section from the karma.conf.js file below.
1: files: [
2: 'app/bower_components/angular/angular.js',
3: 'app/bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',
4: 'app/components/**/*.js',
5: 'app/*.js',
6: 'tests/*.js',
7: {
8: pattern: 'app/*.html',
9: watched: true,
10: included: false,
11: served: true
12: }
13: ],
With that the files are available on the server. There are two problems here though. First of all when running unit tests the mock $httpBackend is used and that never does an actual HTTP request. Secondly the file is hosted at a slightly different URL, Karma includes '/base' as the root of our files. So just letting AngularJS just load it is out of the question. However if we use a plain XMLHttpRequest object the mock $httpBackend is completely bypassed and we can load what we want. Using the plain XMLHttpRequest object has a second benefit in that we can do a synchronous request instead of the normal asynchronous request and use the response to pre-populate the $templateCache before the unit test runs. Using synchronous HTTP request is not advisable for code on the Internet and should be avoided in any production code but in a unit test like this would work perfectly fine.
So taking an AngularJS directive like this:
1: angular.module('myApp', [])
2: .directive('myDirective', function(){
3: return{
4: scope:{
5: clickMe:'&'
6: },
7: templateUrl:'/app/myDirective.html'
8: }
9: });
And a template like this:
1: <button ng-click="clickMe()">Click me</button>
Can be easily tested like this:
1: describe('The myDirective', function () {
2: var element, scope;
4: beforeEach(module('myApp'));
6: beforeEach(inject(function ($templateCache) {
7: var templateUrl = '/app/myDirective.html';
8: var asynchronous = false;
9: var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
10: req.onload = function () {
11: $templateCache.put(templateUrl, this.responseText);
12: };
13: req.open('get', '/base' + templateUrl, asynchronous);
14: req.send();
15: }));
17: beforeEach(inject(function ($compile, $rootScope) {
18: scope = $rootScope.$new();
19: scope.doIt = angular.noop;
21: var html = '

'
22: element = $compile(html)(scope);
23: scope.$apply();
24: }));
26: it('template should react to clicking', function () {
27: spyOn(scope, 'doIt');
29: element.find('button')[0].click();
31: expect(scope.doIt).toHaveBeenCalled();
32: });
33: });
Now making any breaking change to the template, like removing the ng-click, will immediately cause the unit test to fail in Karma.

OIG report says suspected fraud causes most CMS payment suspensions
Compliance Monitor, November 10, 2010
The majority of providers that CMS suspended in 2007 and 2008 exhibited characteristics that suggested fraudulent behavior, according to a report issued by the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
The OIG analyzed 253 suspensions CMS issued in 2007 and 2008 to assess CMS' process for approving and implementing Medicare payment suspensions. The OIG presented its findings in "Memorandum Report: The Use of Payment Suspensions to Prevent Inappropriate Medicare Payments." The OIG found that 64% of suspended providers showed questionable billing patterns and 63% of the suspensions were supported by information from beneficiaries or other providers.
The OIG concludes that CMS used the suspensions issued 2007 and 2008 as a tool to fight fraud and abuse. The OIG stated that it hopes the information contained in the report will help CMS create regulations under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Act states that a provider's payments may be suspended based on a credible allegation of fraud, unless there is good cause not to suspend such payments. It also states that CMS must consult with OIG in determining whether a credible allegation of fraud exists.

In 2010, Republicans made unpopular Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the face of their massive advertising campaign to take back the House of Representatives. Three years later, the Democratic leader has company in America's doghouse. Current Speaker John Boehner's poll numbers are as bad as Pelosi's were when the GOP turned her into a TV villain, possibly heralding another midterm election with the speaker splashed across the country's airwaves — but this time with the roles in reverse.
"There's a good part of the country where [Boehner's] numbers suggest he can be a good symbol for what's wrong with Congress and D.C.," said Democratic consultant Jef Pollock, the president of Global Strategy Group.
In the most recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll conducted last week, 55 percent of the adults surveyed said they viewed Boehner unfavorably — a record high for the speaker. Only 27 percent said they had a favorable opinion of the Ohio Republican. Those results mirror Pelosi's report card just before the end of her speakership. In CNN's final preelection poll of 2010, just 26 percent of respondents viewed her favorably compared with 53 percent who had unfavorable opinions of her.
Pelosi's persistent unpopularity in 2010 — at least 50 percent in every national CNN poll that year — led the GOP to feature her heavily in its House campaign. According to the leaders of the National Republican Congressional Committee's independent expenditure effort, Pelosi appeared in nearly two-thirds of the committee's TV ads that year. Multiple ads began like this one in southern New Jersey: "John Adler says he's independent. But Adler has voted with Nancy Pelosi over 90 percent of the time." On the other side of the Delaware River, the Republican ad said then-Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., "helped Pelosi, but his votes hurt Pennsylvania families." Further south, a washed-out Pelosi loomed as a narrator described 700 Florida Panhandle jobs "lost because Allen Boyd sided with Nancy Pelosi."
Republicans disliked Pelosi more strongly than Democrats dislike Boehner now, and Boehner's own party doesn't back him as well as Democrats backed Pelosi, according to the CNN polls. But independents render basically the same verdict, with 54 percent viewing the Ohio Republican unfavorably compared with 56 percent who said the same about Pelosi in September 2010. Boehner also matches his predecessor among people age 50 and over, among whom the speaker sinks to 60 percent disapproval, and other groups.
Across the nation and multiple important subgroups, Boehner's current position mirrors Pelosi's in 2010. Last year, House Democrats used Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to paint some Republicans, like swing-district Rep. Chris Gibson of New York, as too beholden to their national party, but neither member of the Republican ticket was ever as unpopular as Boehner is now. And Boehner may be the best-known face of the recent government shutdown, which Democrats are poised to make a centerpiece of their 2014 campaign. A number of vulnerable Republicans who questioned the party's shutdown strategy ultimately went along with it when Boehner adopted the principle that no funding for Obamacare would be included in bills to fund the government. Democrats may use votes in line with the speaker, who was front-and-center during the half-month shutdown, as a tool to break down the independent reputations of some swing-district Republicans in 2014.
"When it comes to Americans' anger and frustration with Congress, no one personifies that more than Speaker John Boehner," said Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokeswoman Emily Bittner. "Speaker Boehner's reckless agenda has created the most irresponsible Congress that Americans can remember, and voters revile Speaker Boehner because he is jeopardizing their financial stability."
Still, some Democrats already see limits to Boehner's potential usefulness in 2014 advertising, despite his low numbers. One obstacle is time: Boehner could repair his image over the next year, especially if Congress manages to reach agreement on some of the major issues facing the country.
Also, while Pelosi was closely tied to Democratic policies that voters soured on over the course of 2010, such as cap and trade and the health care law, motivations for disliking Boehner are less focused. The speaker takes criticism from all sides these days, with some blaming him for acquiescing to tea-party forces and others disliking him for not giving more power to that wing of the GOP. That doesn't help Boehner's popularity, but it also makes using him to represent Congress's failures more difficult, since not everyone sees him as a driving force behind them. And it may make Boehner's unpopularity less intense than Pelosi's, who was also easily stereotyped as a San Francisco liberal.
Republicans invested time and resources in making Pelosi a Democratic symbol before 2010, something Democrats haven't spent much energy attempting with Boehner, though some have discussed it in the past. According to one Democratic media strategist, that might be a waste of effort.
"I think that's just letting the local Republican off too easy," said Travis Lowe, who directed the DCCC's independent expenditure program in 2012. "These guys voted for everything horrible that's going on in D.C., from the shutdown to attacking the various popular tenets of Obamacare. Everything voters hate that's coming from here, these guys voted for it. So to put someone else's face on TV and assign blame to them is missing an opportunity. These guys own these votes. We don't want to take that away."
The current electoral map could also dissuade Democrats from using Boehner broadly. Democrats held a number of House districts that leaned Republican in national politics by 2010, but Republicans only control a handful of liberal-leaning seats now. The GOP captured 36 districts in 2010 that had Democratic representatives even though John McCain won the area's presidential vote, and Republicans focused their attacks on the national Democratic Party (in which Pelosi often featured prominently) in those areas. In the current Congress, only 17 Republicans represent territory that President Obama carried in 2012. (Democrats would need to net 17 seats in order to retake the House, but they also have to defend some conservative-leaning territory next year.)
There is a chance that Boehner isn't well-known enough in some particular areas to feature in a broad anti-Republican ad campaign. Andy Stone, the spokesman for the leading House Democratic super PAC, House Majority PAC, said members of a recent focus group in Republican Rep. Gary Miller's liberal-leaning California district drew blanks on the House speaker's name. "It was a low-information group of voters," Stone said. "But not a single person had any idea who he was." That barrier may have lowered due to the shutdown, but it remains a possible sticking point.
Another Democrat advised watching the special election to replace the late Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla., for clues about how Boehner might play nationally in 2014. Special-election results are often overhyped, but strategists on both sides do use the contests to take cues on strategy based on testing in a live environment. House Democrats and House Republicans shaped their Medicare messages in 2012 partly based on what they saw working in two 2011 specials.
Obama won Florida's 13th District twice, though by smaller margins than his national victory. If the DCCC or other groups use Boehner to tag a local Republican with the national party's low ratings early next year, that might be a signal to expect a bigger dose of Boehner in Democratic target districts in the fall.
Strategies for 2014 are still under construction, the political environment is prone to changes, and — even as Republicans continue to deploy Pelosi's image on occasion — Democrats may even decide that they would rather not feature a Republican bogeyman widely next year. But Boehner's scary numbers provide them a ready-made opportunity.
What We're Following See More »
Paul Ryan told CNN today he's "not ready" to back Donald Trump at this time. "I'm not there right now," he said. Ryan said Trump needs to unify "all wings of the Republican Party and the conservative movement" and then run a campaign that will allow Americans to "have something that they're proud to support and proud to be a part of. And we've got a ways to go from here to there."
In The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin gives Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the longread treatment. The scourge of corrupt New York pols, bad actors on Wall Street, and New York gang members, Bharara learned at the foot of Chuck Schumer, the famously limelight-hogging senator whom he served as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee staff. No surprise then, that after President Obama appointed him, Bharara "brought a media-friendly approach to what has historically been a closed and guarded institution. In professional background, Bharara resembles his predecessors; in style, he's very different. His personality reflects his dual life in New York's political and legal firmament. A longtime prosecutor, he sometimes acts like a budding pol; his rhetoric leans more toward the wisecrack than toward the jeremiad. He expresses himself in the orderly paragraphs of a former high-school debater, but with deft comic timing and a gift for shtick."
President Obama has announced another round of commutations of prison sentences. Most of the 58 individuals named are incarcerated for possessions with intent to distribute controlled substances. The prisoners will be released between later this year and 2018.
The Daily Beast has unearthed a piece that Donald Trump wrote for Gear magazine in 2000, which anticipates his 2016 sales pitch quite well. "Perhaps it's time for a dealmaker who can get the leaders of Congress to the table, forge consensus, and strike compromise," he writes. Oddly, he opens by defending his reputation as a womanizer: "The hypocrites argue that a man who loves and appreciates beautiful women (and does so legally and openly) shouldn't become a national leader? Is there something wrong with appreciating beautiful women? Don't we want people in public office who show signs of life?"

I want to hear from people who think Obama is doing well tonight.

I'm an independent and Mr. Obama did well with me. I made up my mind finally and donated to his campaign. The economy is bad and his foreign policy is in pieces. There are many things I am concerned about regarding his leadership but I realized I am a single issue voter. I want my sister to have a chance at getting healthcare which her employer if 16 years doesn't provide. I think she has a better chance of that with Obamacare than with Mr. Romney's alternative.
Anonymous Coward 24537507
When I graduated high school the very same day that Robert F. Kennedy was assasinated in 1968, I could get a job that paid me well enough to live on my own. People could afford to go to college without a load of debt. My grandmother was able to live on Social Security. Federal Income taxes on the rich were much higher, but the difference was that Congress seemed to care about education, health care, and the middle class. The thinking, then, was that if Americans were educated, had good jobs, and could be financially secure, then that would benefit the United States itself.
Now, many in Congress are owned by Big Money whose financial interests are not confined to the US, so these people -- the Wealthy Elite -- could care less about what happens to the middle class (unless it makes them money, of course). This state of affairs didn't happen overnight. It took a long time and numerous laws enacted over the years designed to benefit Big Money. Now, however, the "cake is baked," so to speak.
And in the last 30 years, it has been the Republican Presidents and the Republican Congresses that have presided over the biggest transfer of wealth known to mankind. The Wealthy Elite now own MOST of the wealth, while the middle class has been squeezed out.
In 1993, Clinton pushed through a tax hike on the upper 1% without a single Republican vote. In fact, it was said that this tax hike would destroy the economy. (Sound familiar?) But the fact is that the tax hike helped offset the deficit that Reagan/Bush had created. The result was a budget surplus in 2000 that was expected to grow over time. As we now know, BushII enacted his own version of "Trickle Down" economics and started two wars which resulted in deficits in the trillions of dollars. Lack of oversight and regulations resulted in the financial crisis of 2008 -- the worst since the Great Depression.
In spite of this, the Wealthy Elite have become richer, while the middle class continues to struggle.
The above synopsis of the events of the past 40-plus years is the reason people should vote for Democrats. They, as a general rule, enact programs that benefit the middle class. Programs such as: Social Security; Medicare; Medicaid; Student Loan programs; Pell Grants; the GI Bill; the Chips program; and so on. These were all promoted by Democrats.
In regard to Obamacare -- the reason Obama was determined to get that legislation through Congress is because of what happened to his mother. He witnessed her fighting with an insurance company while she was dying of cancer in the hospital! She had recently changed jobs and her new insurance company didn't want to pay for her treatments, because they claimed that her cancer was a "pre-existing" condition. (Sound familiar?) That experience touched him so deeply that he was determined that he would do everything he could to make sure it didn't happen to others.
Also -- Obama has done a lot for this country. More than he is given credit for. I won't try to list even his major accomplishments here, but I will say that it's important to note that 40% of the Stimulus Bill, enacted in 2009, is comprised of tax cuts.
And given the fact that the transfer of wealth to the upper 1% has taken place over decades and would have to be a concerted, definite, and systematic PLAN, don't you think that the media whores paid for by the Wealthy Elite would smear and lie about anyone who "bucks the system"? As Obama and Clinton have been lied about?
Just look at the results. Clinton left a budget surplus when he left office in 2000. And right now, the US economy is turning around, slowly but surely, while the rest of the world is still in recession.

2 charged, 3rd sought in Richmond teen's slaying
RICHMOND, Ind. - Richmond police say they've arrested two more people and are seeking a third in connection with the fatal beating of a teenager who had recently moved to the eastern Indiana city.
Police say 20-year-old Deandre Plant was charged with murder Wednesday and 18-year-old David Maish was charged with assisting a criminal.
Seventeen-year-old Caleb Woosley was found dead in an alley on May 18.
Plant and Maish already were in custody in unrelated cases. Plant's attorney could not be reached for comment, and it was unclear whether Maish has an attorney.
The Palladium-Item reports an arrest warrant for murder also was issued for a 17-year-old youth whose last known Richmond address is vacant. A second 17-year-old also was charged with murder in Woosley's slaying last month.
Suspect, victim in murder-suicide identified
Police now know the identities of the two people shot and killed in an apparent murder-suicide on the city's northeast side.

ORBCOMM Inc., a satellite data communications company focused on two-way Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, and PAR Technology Corporation, a provider of hospitality technology and services, on Wednesday announced that they have entered into an agreement under which ORBCOMM will acquire the assets of PAR's subsidiary, PAR Logistics Management Systems (PAR LMS) for $6 million. PAR LMS is a provider of transport assets and cargo monitoring technology in the transportation and distribution industries.
Under the terms of the transaction, ORBCOMM (Fort Lee, N.J., USA) will acquire PAR LMS (New Hartford, N.Y., USA) for approximately $6 million, comprised of cash and common stock, plus the potential of up to $4 million in additional consideration based on achieving specific sales targets, says ORBCOMM. The transaction is expected to close in mid-January 2012.
"The decision to sell PAR LMS resulted from our board's evaluation over the past year of various strategic alternatives to position the company for long-term growth. Focusing on the core businesses will benefit customers and shareholders and the sale of PAR LMS is an important step forward to unlocking the intrinsic value of PAR's underlying assets," said Paul B. Domorski, PAR Chairman and CEO.
According to ORBCOMM, the company expects to see benefits from the acquisition in the service delivery, device manufacturing, and other operating costs. The combined platform expands the company's satellite, terrestrial and dual-mode offerings and advancing sales growth. The company plans to extend its services directly to PAR LMS's customers as well as leverage improved economies of scale in manufacturing and service delivery.
In May, ORBCOMM's purchased StarTrak, also in the transportation solutions sector. The acquisition was valued at approximately $18.5 million.

Two BASE jumpers plunge to their death in daredevil leaps in Utah on the same weekend
- Kevin Morroun, 35, died late Friday after his canopy did not fully open during a jump from a cliff called 'the sweet spot'
- He is an experienced jumper who works as a skydiving instructor
- A separate person died more than five hours west after a Sunday jump at Zion National Park
- High winds make it unlikely the Zion National Park BASE jumper's body will be recovered for at least the next couple of days
Two people died in separate BASE jumping accidents over the past few days in Utah.
Kevin Morroun, 35, of Moab, was the first fatality. He died Friday in a jump from an area known as 'the sweet spot' in Mineral Canyon. The second jumper, still unidentified, died Sunday in Zion National Park.
Morroun was an experienced jumper who worked as an instructor with Skydive Moab, authorities told MailOnline, and often traveled seeking bigger and better jumps, according to social media posts.
Thrill seeker: Kevin Morroun was a skydiving instructor and traveled around the country seeking bigger and better BASE jumps
'The Sweet Spot': This is the outcropping Morroun took his final jump from
The thrill seeker was with friends when he took the fatal jump in a remote area about 40 miles west of Moab, Grand County Sheriff's Office deputy Kim Neal said in a press release.
They did not see exactly what went wrong, but Neal explained that all of Morroun's equipment was packed properlyfor the 400 foot jump.
Investigators have determined that he may have simply pulled the cord on his canopy a second or two too late.
'[Morroun's] canopy did not have enough time to fully deploy,' Neal lamented.
The adrenaline junkie's girlfriend wrote of her sadness on Facebook.
In memorial: Friends and family mourned the loss of Morroun, one scrawled this into the side of a local cliff
Heartbroken: Sarah Taz (left), Marroun's (right) devastated girlfriend wrote online that he took some of her heart with him when he died
'You took some of my heart with you when you left and it's hard to see the positivity of this moment,' posted Sarah Taz. 'I love you my friend.'
'I can't believe it !!! My heart is broken,' replied one of her friends.
'I'm so sorry for your loss,' replied another.
The couple had just returned from a trip to Arizona where they jumped off multiple cliffs, according to posts on Morroun's Facebook page.
'You were the best and unfortunately god took you too soon, you'll always be my best friend,' friend Jimmy Peterson posted to his own page. 'It's too hard to accept that your no longer here with us, I love you man!'
Adrenaline junkie: Morroun recently posted about a trip to Arizona that saw him jump off multiple cliffs
Freefall: The experienced jumper's equipment was packed correctly, officials said, they believe his canopy simply didn't have enough time to open
'I feel blessed to know this guy he will be missed,' Alex Lawson wrote in reply.
Peterson posted a picture of 'the sweet spot just one day earlier with the caption 'jumped off this awesome rock today for the first time.'
Both Tax and Peterson filled their profiles with pictures of Morroun.
Details are scant on the second BASE jumping death, which occurred more than five hours to the west in Zion National Park.
Another tragedy: A separate person died BASE jumping from the canyon in Zion National Park (pictured), more than five hours west of Morroun's death
The jumper's passing was first confirmed to Fox 13 Monday morning, and was said by the Deseret News to have happened late Sunday.
The victim was reported as having not returned to her camp around 6.30 Monday morning, at which point a search party from Grand Canyon National Park was sent out by helicopter, a park spokesperson told the News.
The crew found a body believed to be the missing jumper's around 3.00 p.m., the spokesperson said, adding that high winds will not allow for the body to be recovered for at least a couple of days.
'The body is located in difficult terrain and in an area where crosswinds limit the use of a helicopter,' said Aly Baltrus. 'Search and rescue crews will assess options for recovery today.
The team hopes to be able to recover the body over the (next) several days.'
It is the second death to occur this year by a BASE jumper in the park.
The first was 28-year-old newlywed Amber Bellows, who died while with her husband only two weeks after their wedding. BASE jumping is officially banned in the park because of the dangers involved.

Slave To Love Lyrics
Slave To Love Song Lyrics
Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary, and there's no escape
To need a woman you've got to know
How the strong get weak and the rich get poor
Slave to love, oh, slave to love
You're running with me, but don't touch the ground
We're the restless hearted not the chained and bound
The sky is burning a sea of flame
Though your world is changing I will be the same
Slave to love, oh, slave to love
Slave to love, and I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Can you help me
The storm is breaking, or so it seems
We're too young to reason, too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning your face to mine
I can hear your laughter, I can see your smile

Wal-Mart (WMT) Starts Early-Season Discounts Ahead of Holiday Softness
TheStreet) -- Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report), beating other retailers to the punch, has initiated discounting across its stores in a bid to entice holiday shoppers. The retailer is set to discount products across its merchandise on Friday, significantly earlier than usual Thanksgiving sales at the end of November. The move will partially mitigate losses during a shorter-than-usual holiday shopping period. Thanksgiving, falling on Nov. 28 this year, will mean six fewer days between the unofficial start of the holidays and Christmas. Morgan Stanley analyst Kimberly Greenberger predicts this year's holiday season will generate 1.6% gain in same-store sales for retailers, the worst since 2008.Beginning Friday, Wal-Mart will offer discounts across categories ranging from electronics to apparel. An 8-inch Nextbook tablet, for example, will cost $99 through Wal-Mart. Purchasing the tablet elsewhere will cost upwards of $139. "We know that our customers start shopping for the holidays on Nov. 1 because historically our traffic spikes the day after Halloween," said CEO of Wal-Mart.com Joel Anderson in a statement. "We are helping them make the most of their time and helping them stretch their dollars further." Separately, the company has commissioned three new U.S. manufacturing projects as part of its 'Made in the USA' initiative, a promise to purchase $50 billion more domestically-made products by 2023. The three suppliers Wal-Mart partnered with will produce footwear, curtains and glassware. "Since Wal-Mart announced its commitment earlier this year to buy an additional $50 billion in U.S.-made products over the next 10 years, manufacturers have committed to investments in the U.S. that will create more than 1,600 jobs," said Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker at an investment summit on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings team rates Wal-Mart Stores Inc as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, good cash flow from operations, growth in earnings per share and increase in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:NEW YORK (
WMT's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 2.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.3%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc has improved earnings per share by 5.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, Wal-Mart Stores Inc increased its bottom line by earning $5.02 a share vs. $4.55 a share in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.20 vs. $5.02).
The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Food & Staples Retailing industry and the overall market, Wal-Mart Stores Inc's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.
Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $6,357 million or 3.18% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, Wal-Mart Stores Inc has also modestly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -3.41%.
The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the Food & Staples Retailing industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 1.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $4,016 million to $4,069 million.

Buddhism 6 lessons exploring The Middle Way KS2/3

These lessons explore the question 'If everyone followed the Middle Way, would there be a perfect world?' The children do not have to know anything about Buddhism. The lessons explore the meaning of this question and look at what The middle Way means and at the Eightfold Path. Children gain a good understanding of this and also reflect on their own ideas of what a perfect world would be. This leads to a debate about the question which can be recorded as evidence.
