We have a ranch house with 3 bedrooms upstairs, and a full basement downstairs. One half of the basement is a finished in family room, and a full bathroom, and the other half of the basement is unfinished.
Our children are 3 girls-ages 7, 3 and 2. Once baby comes they will be almost 8, 4 and 3.
Right now the 7 year old has her own room, and the 3 and 2 year old share a room.
We will keep the baby in the room with us for a while, but, then what?
I know we will find a place, but, I am just curious...what would you suggest?

The Education of a 9/11 Reporter
The inside drama behind the Times' warrantless wiretapping story.
Sure enough, the story ran at the top of the front page of the next day's paper. But among my colleagues in the paper's New York metro section, there was much less enthusiasm: The story, our Brooklyn reporter thought, was overblown, the evidence of an actual link between the Brooklyn mosque and al-Qaida thin. His skepticism was borne out: While the Yemeni cleric was ultimately sentenced to 75 years in prison on terrorism charges related to his support of Hamas, the sensational charge that the Brooklyn mosque was used to raise money for al-Qaida and Bin Laden had melted away to all but nothing by the time the case concluded.
For me, the story about the Brooklyn mosque, along with others, like the justice department's wobbly case against "dirty bomber" Jose Padilla, were eye-openers. By 2004, I had gained a reputation, deservedly or not, as one of the administration's toughest critics in the Justice Department press corps; the department even confiscated my press pass briefly after I wrote an unpopular story about the FBI's interest in collecting intelligence on anti-Iraq war demonstrations in the United States. To John Ashcroft and his aides, my coverage reflected a bias. To me, it reflected a healthy, essential skepticism—the kind that was missing from much of the media's early reporting after 9/11, both at home in the administration's war on terror and abroad in the run-up to the war in Iraq.
That shared skepticism would prove essential in the Times' decision to run the story about Bush's NSA wiretapping program. On that December afternoon in the White House, the gathered officials attacked on several fronts. There was never any serious legal debate within the administration about the legality of the program, Bush's advisers insisted. The Justice Department had always signed off on its legality, as required by the president. The few lawmakers who were briefed on the program never voiced any concerns. From the beginning, there were tight controls in place to guard against abuse. The program would be rendered so ineffective if disclosed that it would have to be shut down immediately.
All these assertions, as my partner Jim Risen and I would learn in our reporting, turned out to be largely untrue. Jim and I had already learned about much of the internal angst within the administration over the legality of the NSA program at the outset of our reporting, more than a year earlier in the fall of 2004. Still, the editors were not persuaded we had enough for a story—not enough, at least, to outweigh the White House's strenuous arguments that running the piece would cripple a vital and perfectly legal national-security program. It was a difficult decision for everyone. I went back to writing about more mundane terrorism and law-enforcement matters, poking around discreetly to find out what had happened to the NSA's eavesdropping program. Risen went on sabbatical to write a book about intelligence matters. Then, one night in the spring of 2005, he called me out to his home in suburban Maryland and sat me down at his computer. There on the computer screen was a draft of a chapter called simply "The Program." It was about the NSA's wiretapping operation. "I'm thinking of putting this in the book," he said. I sat and stared at the screen in silence. "You sure you know what you're doing?" I asked finally. He shrugged.
Risen spoke with our editors about what he was contemplating, and so began weeks of discussions between him and the editors that ultimately helped to set the story back on track. Risen's book was a trigger, but we realized we weren't in the paper yet. We still had to persuade the editors that the reasons to run the story clearly outweighed the reasons to keep it secret. We went back to old sources and tried new ones. Our reporting brought into sharper focus what had already started to become clear a year earlier: The concerns about the program—in both its legal underpinnings and its operations—reached the highest levels of the Bush administration. There were deep concerns within the administration that the president had authorized what amounted to an illegal usurpation of power. The image of a united front we'd been presented a year earlier in meetings with the administration—with unflinching support for the program and its legality—was largely a façade. The administration, it seemed clear to me, had lied to us.And we were coming closer to understanding the cracks. By the time we met with White House officials in December 2005, Keller had all but made up his mind: The legal concerns about the program were too great to justify keeping it out of public view. The only real question now was not whether the story would run, but when.
That decision was helped along by a chance conversation I had soon after our White House meeting. The administration, I was told, had considered seeking a Pentagon Papers-type injunction to block publication of the story. The tidbit was a bombshell. Few episodes in the history of the Times—or, for that matter, in all of journalism—had left as indelible a mark as the courtroom battle over the Pentagon Papers, and now we were learning that the Bush White House had dusted off a Nixon-era relic to consider coming after us again. The editors in New York had already decided they would probably print the story in the newspaper for that Friday, Dec. 16, 2005, but when word of the Pentagon Papers tip reached them, they decided they would also post it on the Internet the night before. That wasn't routinely done at that time on "exclusive" stories because we would risk losing the scoop to our competitors, but the editors felt it was worth the risk. The administration might be able to stop the presses with an injunction, but they couldn't stop the Internet.
Phil Taubman called us into his office to hear the official word: We were publishing the story, Keller told us. Smiles washed over the room. Rebecca Corbett, who edited the story and had been a strong champion of it, inquired about the play it would get. There'd been talk of a modest one-column headline on the front page. She wanted to know whether we might be able to get two columns, maybe even three. This seemed like a story that would have legs. Keller demurred. He wanted the story to speak for itself; we would be discreet without looking as if we were poking the White House in the eye with a big, screaming headline about NSA spying. This wasn't the moment to quibble over the size of the headline. After all this time, after all the White House's efforts to derail it, we were happy to see the story in the paper at all; in the back of the A section, among the bra ads, would have been fine.

Tourists who walk over the black lava fields of the Georgios volcano on Nea Kameni in the scorching summer heat have only the weak emissions of hot steam in the crater to remind them that the volcano is still alive, but it could return to life at any time. Earth scientists have already observed changes in the underground of Nea Kameni that might lead to a forthcoming eruption, but an eruption as violent as the Minoan will certainly not occur in the near future.
Jules Verne, in his famous science fiction book, 20 000 Leagues under the Sea, described how the submarine vessel Nautilus surfaced in the hot water around Santorini volcano. Captain Nemo, and his crew were astonished to see the spectacular 1866 eruption of Georgios volcano on Nea Kameni. Even today one can explore the inner part of the main volcano of Santorini very much in the same way as Captain Nemo did by sailing into the bay and admiring the multi-colored inner walls of the gigantic volcanic caldron where an extraordinary part of the earth's history is revealed. It is not just earth scientists who are irresistibly drawn to this volcanic island; it holds an equal fascination for archeologists as well. Beneath the thick shroud of white pumice that mantles the rim and most of the outer slopes of the volcano lie the remains of an advanced culture– a bronze age Pompeii that, after more than 3600 years, is still being uncovered in the excavations at Akrotiri. This 'Fantastic Island' will enchant anyone who appreciates the natural world and the history of early civilizations. If it were up to me, I would reintroduce the name the island had in antiquity: Calliste–the most beautiful.
"You must write this book", said the volcanologist Maurice Krafft in 1989 during his visit to Santorini, when I showed him and his wife Katja our latest discoveries and told them about my projected book. Sadly, they never saw the final result because they were both killed a short time later in an eruption of Unzen volcano.
Fourteen years have passed since the first German edition of 'Feuer im Meer' was published. In this interval, many discoveries have been made and a great number of publications about the island have appeared. When I realized that so much had changed, it became necessary for me to find a new title for the book-project.
In 1975, when I visited Santorini for the first time, the island looked different–at least in the tourist guide-books. At that time, one could read that prior to the Minoan eruption Santorini had a 1600 meter high mountain in its centre and that this catastrophic eruption took place around 1500 BC. But since then things have changed a lot. Today it is generally accepted that a water-filled caldera existed about 10 000 years before the Minoan eruption, and that the people who lived at that time have showed us in the ships fresco from the Akrotiri excavation what their island looked like: There were two harbors in the caldera and there were houses on the central island. The Bronze Age Santorini was similar to the one we see today. This new interpretation has also been supported by geological observations.
The date of the Minoan eruption has also changed: we now have the most direct and precise radiocarbon dates, that were based on the lucky find of two olive trees, which were buried alive, in upright position, by the eruption. The dates show us that the Minoan eruption occurred about 100 years earlier than people thought three decades ago.

A celebration of the wonderfully clear skies of the Isle of Man.
In the Isle of Man we have some of the clearest skies in Europe. In 2012, seven Dark Sky sites were identified by the Dark Sky Discovery Network and granted Dark Sky status. A further 19 sites were subsequently granted DSD status in January 2014, making the Isle of Man an area with 26 Dark Sky sites. Manx stargazers can see some amazing sights in our night skies – This Isle of Man stamp issue shows the night sky from four spectacular Manx dark sky locations and some of the constellations that can be seen from the Island through the year.
Isle of Man Post Office is pleased to present this celebration of the wonderfully clear skies of the Isle of Man in collaboration with Dark Sky Discovery.
The Isle of Man now has a total of 26 Dark Sky Discovery sites, which is by far the greatest concentration of such sites in the British Isles. Nineteen which were announced in January 2014, these were in addition to the seven sites that were similarly granted this prestigious status by the Dark Sky Discovery Network based at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh in October 2012.
Dark Sky Discovery status is granted to sites that have spectacular views of the night sky. One of the criteria for Dark Sky status is the ability to see the Milky Way, which is known in Manx as "Raad Mooar re Gorry" or the great way of King Orry. The Isle of Man has many such locations, which have now been formally acknowledged by the DSDN and by many visiting astronomers.
Isle of Man Post Office produced the stamps following consultation with Howard Parkin FRAS of AstroManx and the stunning images on the stamps show the spectacular images of the Manx night skies and feature some of the constellations clearly visible throughout the year from the Islands darker skies.
The four stamps show the night sky from four spectacular Manx dark sky locations, and superimposed on each is one or more of the constellations each season as seen from the Isle of Man.
The 42p stamp shows Orion, one of the most spectacular winter constellations superimposed onto an image taken from Niarbyl. The 164p stamp shows Leo, a spring constellation and the skies from Port Erin, the 182p stamp shows the summer constellation of Cygnus with a spectacular view of the Milky Way as seen from Fort Island and the 230p stamp shows the autumn group showing Pegasus and Andromeda with the sky from Langness.

I know... in the real story he is a jerk... well, I also read other articles about him in the marvel wiki and so on... cool stuff appeared like Mephisto telling others once, that he and Azazel fought for the throne of hell, and that Azazel said that the only women he realy loved was Raven... .... Erik and Raven are okay too, but... NOT in my Wagner family pictures xDD (but I will do some comments on the First Class movie about Raven, Azazel and Eric xD but next year- for this year I take a break, enjoying my family ^^)

By a 99-0 vote, senators agreed to begin debating the legislation, which sponsor Sen. Bernie Sanders, chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, says would cost $21 billion over the coming decade. That opened the door to what is likely to be days of GOP efforts to pare it down and lessen its impact on budget deficits.
By the time the Senate reaches a final showdown vote, the bill could confront GOP lawmakers with an uncomfortable campaign-season test over curbing spending for the nation's 22 million veterans and their families. Most veterans groups support the legislation, and the voting bloc they represent is a potent one that both parties usually try to avoid offending.
Some Republicans consider Sanders' legislation an election-year ploy aimed at forcing them to take embarrassing votes. They say the measure is too expensive and would provide so many new benefits that it would clog up a system already overburdened with veterans seeking health care and other benefits.
Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, top Republican on the Veterans panel, said it was irresponsible "to talk about dumping more people on a broken system, to talk about asking those who've already waited so long to wait longer because of our actions."
But Sanders, I-Vt.
Republicans were demanding a chance to offer amendments—particularly a GOP substitute Burr said was less costly and would be paid for with savings culled from veterans' programs. Burr's proposal also included language imposing new sanctions on Iran because of its nuclear program, which President Barack Obama has urged Democrats to resist.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has blocked amendments on some bills, concerned that GOP senators would use them to embarrass Democrats on politically divisive issues like rolling back Obama's health care overhaul.
The conservative group Heritage Action urged senators to oppose Sanders' bill, saying its failure to revamp the VA results in "harming both veterans truly in need of assistance and taxpayers in the process."
The House has approved some of the benefit improvements in Sanders' bill, but Republicans who run that chamber say they oppose parts of the Senate bill and want better ways of financing it.
Sanders' bill would be paid for mostly with money left unspent from the end of U.S. fighting in Iraq and the phase-out of American forces in Afghanistan. Republicans consider that phony savings since those wars were already winding down and there were no real plans to spend that money on fighting.
Sanders' bill would let many uninsured veterans without service-connected injuries get coverage from the VA health care system.
The Democratic bill would also make it easier for veterans to qualify for in-state tuition at public universities. Jobless programs would be extended and states would be pressured to make it easier for veterans to get truck driver's and other licenses.
The measure would provide fertility treatment and coverage of adoption costs for veterans whose infertility sprang from service-related injuries. It would also expand VA counseling and treatment for sexual assault victims and increase the agency's chiropractic care, dentistry coverage and alternative medicine, such as using yoga to treat stress.
A two-year program would pay for fitness center memberships for overweight veterans who live more than 15 minutes from a VA fitness facility.
The bill also erased a 1 percent cut in annual inflation increases for veterans who retire early from the military that Congress enacted late last year. Legislation signed this month by Obama ended that cut for most early retirees, so Sanders now wants to end it for those who joined the military beginning this year.

Effectiveness of Countercyclical Fiscal Policy: Time-Series Evidence from Developing Asia
As the global crisis hit developing Asia, several countries instituted fiscal stimulus measures to create domestic demand. With the region returning to normal times, in this paper we draw lessons using historical data from 10 developing Asian countries to examine if countercyclical fiscal policy can still be used to stimulate growth. To do so, we use a sign-restrictions-based structural vector autoregression model. We find that expansionary expenditure shocks have an insignificant effect on output but contractionary revenue shocks have a negative effect. On the basis of those estimated effects, we perform and compare two policy experiments: deficit-financed tax cuts and deficit spending. The experiment results indicate that while deficit-financed tax cuts stimulate economic activity, the impact of deficit spending is ambiguous. Our overall evidence thus suggests that tax cuts may be a more effective countercyclical policy instrument than government spending. However, a number of factors suggest that Asian governments should be cautious about actively using tax cuts for countercyclical purposes, in part because a big part of the revenue shocks in developing Asia are cyclical rather than discretionary.

*pout* "this was my favorite sequined dress!"
Hehe, its actually just material, she bought it and has this idea of drapping it over her.. i can gladly say this is all thanks to the model
It makes for a neat scene... the glittering, man-made material contrast against the natural water and grasses, combined with her expression... I think of like.. an ancient queen removed from the throne and now she is forced to wallow in her lavishness, in these humble surroundings.

Lcars Fed Fleet Decloaking by S0LARBABYWatch
such a beautiful work, makes me wish for a Federation Ship of my own!!!
The Federations internal ban on cloaking tech is the ultimate arrogance and a prime example of Federation tyranny. I am all for private ownership of cloaking devices. What better way to deal with pirates than to hide from them.
I like the fact that Starfleet feels bold enough to not cloak their fleet and represent the federation. But in a real world situation theres no way we would allow our enemies such a huge tactical advantage
@NRE86; Considering that Romulus is nothing but millions of tiny rocks, and that the Empire is pretty much shattered, yeah, I believe the Federation would have their Cloaking Device. What I would like to see on Star Trek Online, is the Phase Cloaking Device, and phase through asteroids or planets.
Expect the Romulans to give the Federation hell about the Treaty of Algeron violation! ha!
I should think that, at some point, cloaking tech would make it to the Federation and be completely legal

Where was the outrage about gun getting into Selma High?Published 4:08pm Saturday, January 12, 2013
It's no wonder the Selma City School Board is moving their monthly meetings back to the board room at their central office.
During Thursday's meeting at Selma High School's auditorium, a dozen or so turned out for the meeting, with just three taking the time to address the board; and one of those was the AEA representative who engaged the board in a lengthy discussion.
There was one mother who questioned a school policy at School of Discovery and another citizen who addressed the board on the top of school safety.
That was it.
This marked the first regular board meeting for the school board since a loaded, chrome-plated handgun was found on the campus of the new, and technologically-advanced Selma High School; a school that was supposed to have strict safety designs and advancements.
And yet, there were only three people who addressed the board and only one who discussed school safety.
Where was the outrage? Where as the Parent-Teacher Organization demanding answers from the board and school officials? Where was the student-government association representatives asking for stronger safety measures?
We do thank the board for organizing a meeting with local law enforcement, security company and school leaders last week and we hope their meeting proves productive.
But while we are thankful the system appears to be taking steps to tighten security, the question of how the gun got on campus remains unanswered.
Let's hope parents get involved and that solutions are found to ensure our community's most valuable resource — our children — are properly protected.

|For Fun:
The meeting was actually disappointing. I went hoping to hear some good news. Some good points made to the committee, but, how it will go from there is unknown. One of the concerns is the part of the proposed rules states that any show where the public has to pay to watch is considered a professional event. I don't have the papers in front of me and that is a clif note version. If anyone read it differently then by all means ammend it.
It is a concern when you have fighters trying to get into the sport. If this were to go through there would be little to no outlets, in Michigan, for them to get the experience they need. Many would be forced to fight out of state or go pro. Not good from either stand point. Going out of state puts financial strains on the fighters and they really have no idea what they are getting into. Going pro straight out of the gym puts them in situations where they could get hurt or so discouraged that they leave the sport.
Everyone please contact your local state rep and let them know your feelings. Make your voice heard and let's get amateur regulated and standardised. We can't let them destroy it all together.

When the user selects an item in FormTwoViewController we want FormThreeViewCOntroller to appear in the detailView, and FormTwoViewController (the current detail view) to become the masterView.
We also need to have a back button on the detail view to return up the stack of viewcontrollers. So when back is pressed, FormTwoViewController becomes the detailView and FormOneViewController becomes the master view again.
We have tried to implement this using the UISPlitViewcontroller and with a masterNavigationController and a detailNavigationController. We have the initial phase working where the views are displayed correctly when the app starts, we select the FormTwoViewController Item and it pushes FormThreeViewController onto the detailNavigationController and FormTwoViewController is pushed onto the masterNavigationController stack.
The problem we now have is twofold
- when the backbutton is pressed in the detail view controller it does nothing. it appears the handlers have got disconnected or something.
- We do not get a button in the portrait mode to display the masterview in a popover.
Has anyone got any examples of how to do this or any help wuld be appreciated.

το οτι θα εβλεπα το Graffiti που βλεπω καθε μερα εξω απ τη σχολη στα daily deviations δεν το περιμενα ποτε... συγχαρητηρια φιλε!!
WOW, hiphop graffiti art rarely impresses me on a unique level, but this is something beyond regular aesthetics... geometry? funkiness? flow? Im not close to being an authority on such beautiful concepts, but I can surely promote the Art of this work.
especially that big block of muted yellow on the far right. the sharp graphic elements are bizarre, what are they implying?? form with no meaning but flow? they stand out far less than the rest of the composition, but offer a much more unique anatomic composition than viewers are ready to clearly interpret. Good job, you have confused me!
This is fantastic, love the flow.
Wonderful Congratulations!
Congratulations on the Daily Deviation!

New Delhi, Jan 31 (IANS) Bollywood item girl Yana Gupta, who has no projects in her kitty right now, says she will only take up films that are original and challenging.
'I would come to Bollywood only if a great project comes up. I don't really think I would do a film that is a copy of a Hollywood flick. Also, I will not work with people who copy and have no stand of their own,' Yana told IANS in an interview.
'No more ornamental roles for me!' she stressed. Yana Gupta" src="http://www1.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/yana_gupta_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5">Yana was here to launch Amatrra Spa.
The Czech model struck gold after featuring in the Kingfisher calendar. Her stint in Bollywood started with the film 'Dum', which sank without a trace at the box office. But Yana's sizzling performance in the song 'Babuji zara dheere chalo...' turned her into a star overnight.
But she is still waiting for a solo hit. The celebrity candidly confesses that many projects slip out of her hand because she doesn't have command over the Hindi language.
'I wouldn't deny that Hindi is not an issue with me. I had to say no to some projects because people wanted someone else to dub for me and I didn't.'
'I wouldn't mind playing an NRI or a foreigner but I will do the dubbing myself. Otherwise the same passion won't reflect on-screen and again I am doing nothing in the film than just looking good.'
So what is keeping her busy?
'I am currently working on my yet-to-be titled book on nutrition and a pop album for which I have written, composed and sung songs.
'Actually, I am a fitness freak and when I came to Mumbai I gradually put on a lot of weight, courtesy the Indian food. It is too yummy to resist and full of fats.
'Also, people in the country are increasingly becoming conscious about their looks but are hardly aware of their fitness levels. All this prodded me to write a book on nutrition.
'As far as music is concerned, I was trained for two years in music when I was a child in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). Moreover, I have already completed a jazz album that we will use only for promotion. My pop album would be officially my debut album.'
Commenting on her experience of writing and composing songs, she said: 'While composing just happened, writing songs wasn't so easy. I had to work a lot on my vocabulary, as English is not my mother tongue. I started with writing poetry and then gradually moved on to songs.'
She stated that both her book and album would release this year.

Which potty does your LO use?
Comments (9)
We're doing EC though and not close to graduation yet.
We also have a baby bjorn little potty but its too low to really be comfy anymore. Sometimes she sits on it while I potty but usually not.

We have the princess potty too-but it scared her when she peed and the music went off...plus it went off at other various times...so we have that part shut off. She's not big into the potty right now-she has gone a handful of times plus every night before her bath.

we have baby bjorns (the bigger one and the smaller one). we also have this recessed one, which is AWESOME:
we got the recessed one when i found out i was preggo with yds and we were potty training ods. figured we could use it for a good 4 or 5 years.

We have the very inexpensive fisher price green potty that looks like a frog. it was only $13/each and sits on the floor, we have one for the girls' upstairs bath (by their bedrooms) and one in the half bath downstairs.
We bought it last January when ODD was 18 mos old...and YDD has been obsessed with it, with ODD (who is still in process of training at 28 mos old) using it, and with the Elmo Potty Book we have.
So...for fun, I sat her on it sans diaper on Saturday for the first time...and she peed! A couple of hours later, she did it again!
I honestly don't think she's ready for full-on training (she's not letting us know beforehand, she can't pull her pants up and down, and she's only 15 mos old), but it's no big deal to try when we have to change her anyway...that's the philosophy we've had with her ODD so far as well.

we have a little toilet seat that sits on the big toilet. hes sat on it twice so far after lunch time. i dont expect him to be potty trained right away (15 mo), but it cant hurt to introduce it to him and get him excited about it.

Washington Prowler
Lax on Libya
Obama officials allow UK to go scot-free as well. Plus: Obama's Internet security precautions.
British intelligence and Foreign Office officials were surprised by what they called the "seeming lack of enthusiasm" by the Obama administration in the run-up to the release of convicted Libyan terrorist Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, the man responsible for the murder of more than 270 passengers on Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988.
"We know that [Attorney General Eric] Holder and [Secretary of State Hillary] Clinton weighed in with the Scottish justice ministry, but we expected more, particularly given the circumstances," said a foreign office staffer. "We would have expected, given that a Department of Justice official was one of the passengers on that flight, that the department would be more aggressive in ensuring al-Megrahi remained imprisoned."
According to the British sources, the Obama White House was advised that due to internal, United Kingdom politics, it was going to be difficult for the British government to provide a full-court press on Scottish justice minister Kenny MacAskill. As it was, the British embassy in Washington provided the families of Pan Am 103 opportunities to speak to MacAskill and make their case for al-Megrahi not to be released.
In the days leading up to the Scottish decision, Holder and Clinton made calls to MacAskill, but "it isn't clear that much more was done," says the British career diplomat, who has spent time in both Washington and New York. "It seemed to be very much about going through the motions."
Holder did raise a number of concerns with MacAskill during the phone conversation, word of which was leaked by a senior Obama administration source inside the Department of Justice after the administration started taking more heat for not taking a greater role in preventing al-Megrahi's release.
But according to Department of Justice sources, Holder never asked for legal options related to al-Megrahi, nor did the State Department present options to DOJ or the White House. More troubling, during the period when the Scottish government was seeking input from the U.S. and Pan 103 victims' families, President Obama was meeting with Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi at the G-8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy. At the time, according to White House sources, Obama had not been fully briefed on the al-Megrahi situation.
While the British source says that British officials bear much blame for al-Megrahi's release under a Libyan-British prison transfer treaty ratified in April, "those of us who were attempting to block the compassionate release here were hoping for greater support from the United States, and it was lacking."
Department of Justice officials privately put the blame on the State Department and the White House National Security Council, both of which seemed not be communicating with each other or with the Department of Justice. "Holder was at DOJ during the al-Megrahi trial in 2001 and 2002, so he has some skin invested in this case," says one DOJ source. "He made his calls and made his opinion known, but this was a foreign policy issue, too, and it's not clear just how hard State or the White House pushed on this."
At the same time that the Obama administration's Federal Communications Commission looks at ways to gain greater regulatory control of the Internet via a policy called "Net Neutrality," aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) have drafted legislation that would give President Obama the legal ability to take temporary control of private-sector broadband networks if he or his administration determined there was a "cybersecurity" emergency.
Under the draft bill, which was leaked to the media late last week, the president could "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and take control of "non-governmental" Internet networks. The bill would also create a government certification process, which would require that some individuals seeking private sector jobs that require contact with certain secure broadband networks or the Internet be required to undertake government-approved licences or certification before getting those jobs. The Obama administration would determine what that certification process would entail.
In the House of Representatives, Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) has introduced legislation that would allow the Obama Administration and the FCC to regulate broadband networks. The legislation would limit the ability of private network operators like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast to manage their networks. Ironically, much of that management involves security and so-called "traffic management" issues related to spam and other online traffic that presents security threats to the networks -- security threats that the Obama administration would be able to use as cause to take control of those networks.

I have always had a love for anything crafty!
I learned to crochet as a teenager, but had only made afghans. Then in 2006 I wanted to crochet my daughter the Lilliana shrug. Suddenly I understood how to read those crochet patterns and finished that shrug in less than a week! After that, I crocheted more and more clothing projects.
I learned to loom knit in 2004 as I loved the look of knitting but did not know how to needle knit. I searched the web and found lots of helpful advice on looming and then started purchasing every loom and board I could. Soon after I started designing my character scarves. I have loomed socks, scarves, hats and purses and was just starting to learn to knit garments on the looms when I finally learned to needle knit!
That was in 2007 and I taught myself to knit watching the videos on www.knitting-help.com and have been having loads of fun knitting every thing in site and increasing my knowledge and skills.
The saying you are never too old to learn something new is so true. If you put your mind to it, you can learn anything and have loads of fun doing it.
I hope you enjoy my crochet, looming and needle knit designs as much as I did when designing them!
This listing is for the Crochet PATTERN and Not the finished item.
This is an easy and quick crocheted dishcloth that is just as fun to make as it is to give! Some crochet dishcloths are stiff and thick however this dishcloth is just as squishy and drape able as any knitted dishcloth.
The pattern includes written instructions as well as a password to view 2 videos that will walk you through making this dishcloth from beginning to end! Part One will show you how to start and increase and Part Two will show you how to decrease and finish your dishcloth. Each video is about 15 minutes in length.

Dublin, Calif. – By controlling inventory and expenses, Ross Stores Inc. was able to report a 4% increase in net income during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 despite bad weather and other negative factors. Net income totaled $243.9 million, up from $234.6 million in the same period the prior year.
First quarter 2014 sales increased 6% to $2.68 billion, up from $2.54 billion in first quarter 2013. Same-store sales rose 1%. Ross Stores expects same-store sales to grow 1%-2% during the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
"First quarter earnings per share performed at the high end of our guidance as strict inventory and expense controls offset the impact from unfavorable weather and a more challenging retail environment," said Michael Balmuth, vice chairman and CEO, Ross Stores. "Sales trends improved in April with more seasonal spring weather that coincided with the later Easter shopping period."
