metaconfig 0.1.4
A ConfigParser bootstraping library
Metaconfig is a library for centralising your Python's ConfigParser files. It is inspired by the logging module where it is increadibly easy to start writing code that depends on logging whilst deferring how log messages will be handled until later.
To get started with metaconfig just do:
import metaconfig conf = metaconfig.get_config(__name__)
conf will be a ConfigParser instance. You can create a centralised config file to configure multiple applications and libraries.
Further documentation is available at http://packages.python.org/metaconfig/.

not goodPosted on 10 / 18 / 2012
I went here today and it was not great... I wouldn't go back again. The atmosphere was dirty and greasy. While they have a decent veg menu, the waitress wasn't clear what had dairy in it (sauces) and what didn't, or whether they could prepare the vegan food where it wouldn't be contaminated. The food was bland and I felt a bit ill after, even though I only ate the edamame, miso, and some avocado rolls. It's a shame because i like to promote restaurants that offer a veg menu, but this one i do not recommend.
Cons: dirty, bad oil, cross-contamination

Fungus gnats are a common greenhouse pest, especially in the moist environment common in propagation houses. They are tiny mosquito-like insects, about 1/8 inch in length. You will generally first notice them darting about new seedlings. Being so small, they can enter greenhouses through the tiniest openings. Most often they arrive as eggs, either in plant soil or in damp potting soil bags.
Adult fungus gnats are mostly an annoyance, but the larva can damage young plants and seedlings by devouring new, tender roots. This stresses the plants and provides an entry for pathogens, such as Pythium, Botrytis, Fusarium and Thielaviopsis. The first symptom of damage is usually wilting, followed by general decline of the plant.
The life cycle of the fungus gnat may be as short as 3 to 4 weeks, depending on temperature. Eggs in cracks and crevices will mature in 4 to 6 days. The larvae eat roots or stems at the base of a plant; at 70F they will develop for two weeks. The larvae pupate in the soil, with adult gnats emerging after 4 to 5 days. Gnats are hard to control because the generations often overlap. Special challenges arise with plant species the fungus gnats like, such as poinsettias, or if the soil contains hiding places in bark or peanut hulls.
Biological controls are best used preventively, when populations are low. A regular monitoring program is needed for early detection of this pest and to insure the success of a biological control program. Yellow sticky cards can either be placed horizontally at the media surface or laid flat on the rims of pots to capture resting adults. Potato chunks (peeled potatoes cut in quarters for plugs) can be placed on the media surface to attract larvae. Check yellow sticky cards weekly and inspect the potatoes after 2 days. Regular inspection of developing root systems for signs of fungus gnat feeding (blunt root tips) is also helpful. Cultural controls include; avoiding overwatering, avoiding puddling on the floors, rigorous weed controls, and controlling algae. These cultural controls are critical before starting a biological control program for fungus gnats.
Pyrethrins or a pyrethroid are labeled to provide temporary, fast-acting control. Pyrethrins have low toxicity to people and pets and are the active ingredients in the botanical pyrethrum, from flowers of certain chrysanthemums. Pyrethroids (e.g., bifenthrin, permethrin) are synthesized from petroleum to be chemically similar to pyrethrins, but often are more effective and persistent, as well as being more toxic to beneficial insects. When using these on houseplants or interiorscape containers, it may be best to move plants outdoors for treatment and wait about a day after application before bringing them back inside. Peaceful Valley insecticide formulas labeled for fungus gnats and based on pyrethrins are Evergreen Crop Protection, Pyganic, and Safer Yard & Garden Insect Killer
The PVFS product Ecotrol which contains clove, thyme, cinnamon, and wintergreen oils, states on it's label that it can be used as a soil drench for fungus gnats.
Beneficial Insects
Thank goodness for beneficial insects. If you are in a greenhouse growing business you may want to consider introducing the "good bugs" into your houses to eat the "bad bugs". Both Fungus Gnat Predators and Parasitic Nematode / Steinermema Nematodes are benefical insects that will eat fungus gnats, but not harm your plants or other "good guy insects". Predatory Mites and Nematodes are compatible with a number of different pesticides. However, they are generally not compatible with organophosphates, carbamates, and nematicides, and none of the products mentioned above contain these ingredients.
If you can catch this problem quickly, you will be likely to eradicate it easily. Good luck in all your growing.

"The PVFS product Ecotrol states on it's label that it can be used as a soil drench for fungus gnats."
So states this page. However the label as far as I could see didn't say anything about fungus gnats, nor did it work, at all. They seem to like the stuff. So others should examine this more carefully.
We love Peaceful Valley, but I really think this info is wrong, and was a waste of time and money, at least as it relates to fungus gnats.

Adam, Thank you for your loyalty and for your feedback. This post was written in 2010 when we still carried Ecotrol (it's now unavailable from the manufacturer). Back then the Ecotrol label said "effective as a soil drench for controlling soil-borne insect larvae (e.g. fungus gnats)"
Since we cannot carry Ecotrol we now carry Ecotec G http://www.groworganic.com/ecotec-g-20-lb.html which, is similar, but is not labelled for use against fungus gnats.
I'm very sorry you are plagued by the fungus gnats. Which product did you use? We'd like to help you solve the problem.

Now that Gorst -- the unincorporated Kitsap cove that reliably makes Bremerton look good -- has been touted as a bargain by The Seattle Times, it can only be a matter of days until the Pit becomes the latest real estate hotspot.
Sandwiched between Bremerton's shit plant and Gold Mountain Golf Complex -- a hell of a course that hosted the 2006 Publinx, and serves a mean bacon and eggs -- has far more to offer than cheap real estate and auto dealerships.
To name just a few neighborhood highlights:
It'll Do Furniture, a must-see for bargain hunters looking to furnish their charming new bungalow in tune with the neighborhood style.
Toys Topless: It's the only official strip club in Kitsap County, it's on the water, and it's painted green. And you thought Rick's was sketch.

Cher coming to BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6
Pop superstar Cher is coming back to Milwaukee for the first time in 11 years. The so-called Goddess of Pop will perform at the BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6.
The 67-year-old Grammy, Oscar and Emmy winner is suiting up for the "Dressed to Kill" tour, her first time on the road since an alleged "farewell" tour from 2002 to 2005, which stopped at the Bradley Center twice, on July 13, 2002, and on Aug. 16, 2003. The Milwaukee dates alone grossed $1.6 million in ticket sales, according to Billboard, and the tour was one of the highest-grossing ever by a female solo artist, with north of 600 shows performed in front of nearly 6 million fans, grossing $394 million according to the Guiness Book of World Records. »Read Full Article(17)

HONG KONG — Global auction house Sotheby's said Friday it's setting up a Chinese joint venture that will allow it to become the first foreign company to hold art sales in the world's biggest fine-art market.
The company said it signed a deal to set up Sotheby's (Beijing) Auction Co. with Beijing GeHua Art Co., a Chinese state-owned company. Sotheby's will own 80 percent of the venture, which still needs Chinese government approval.
The venture marks a major expansion into China for Sotheby's. The company and rivals such as Christie's hold regular auctions in Hong Kong, attracting many mainland Chinese buyers, but have been blocked from doing the same on the mainland.
Christie's licensed its name to China's Forever International Auction Co. in 2005. But Sotheby's new venture, which gives it majority control and responsibility for day-to-day operations and management, will allow it to leap ahead of its perennial rival.

New report in the journal Nature attempts to measure the impact biodiversity has on human health and well-being.
WASHINGTON — Experts worldwide have long talked about the importance of preserving the diversity of life for the sake of beauty and wonder, or in the hopes of new medical discoveries, or for moral reasons.
A group of scientists is reporting that biodiversity also helps sustain human life.
"There are direct measurable impacts on human prosperity and human well-being," said Bradley Cardinale of the University of Michigan, lead author of a team of 17 ecologists who reviewed hundreds of experiments done in the past 20 years. "That places conservation in a whole other ballpark."

Most Read Stories
The report cited a number of ways in which biodiversity — the variety of species, genes and traits — has practical value.
For example, genetic diversity within a species can increase the yield of commercial crops. Diversity of tree species increases production on timber plantations. More fish species means more stable yields for fishermen.
Diversity in the types of plants that grow together also can make the plants more resistant to disease and invasive species, and in some cases make them pull more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
The first Earth Summit, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992, warned that human actions were destroying habitats and reducing biodiversity at an alarming rate. New evidence has shown that biodiversity loss is continuing, often at increasing rates, the report said. At this pace, scientists estimate that one-third to one-half of all species could be lost permanently in about 100 years.
Cardinale said the report was meant as a warning. The journal Nature published it this week in advance of an international conference on sustainable development, known as Rio+20, this month.
"The rate of extinction for organisms we've been able to document is about 1,000 times faster than what occurs in the fossil record," Cardinale said.
"Our paper is basically saying, 'Look, if those hundreds of thousands of species go extinct, you're going to feel it in your pocketbook. It's going to affect food production, it's going to affect climate — all those things we care about,' " he said. "And there's overwhelming scientific evidence to support it."
David Hooper of Western Washington University, another one of the authors, said he hoped it would influence world leaders.
"Where I live, around Puget Sound in Washington state, it's one of the most beautiful areas in the world — and, in fact, that natural beauty is a source of local pride, tourism dollars, and natural resources, such as clean water and fisheries. Even so, we have at least 25 species threatened with extinction, ranging from small wildflowers to chinook salmon and Orca whales," Hooper wrote in an email.
Many other species are declining as a result of habitat loss, overharvesting and environmental degradation caused by humans, he added. "While some of those species might disappear with barely a whisper, others are hugely important ecologically, economically and culturally."

A Call for an Asteroid Response Team
Researchers call for an international effort, potentially coordinated by the United Nations, to act as a planetary response team for potential space threats. Though sky watchers have not located any definite threats so far, one worry is that by the time a threat is spotted, it will be too late for any one country to be able to take useful action on its own.

"Think Outside the Cage"
So it's been hinted here that some of her arguments are maybe a little "lightweight"... but I've got to say her 4th chapter "Superhighway to health" presents a great way to sell bicycle infrastructure.
Basically, if you look at the roughly $1 million a mile cost of separated bike lanes, you might consider them an excessive frill that most countries can't really afford.
But, says Blue, if you look at the costs from a wider viewpoint, a couple of facts make them seem a great deal.
1. Any infrastructure that supports active transportation provides enormous cost savings in the health sector.
2. Bicycle infrastructure reduces wear and tear on streets. Basically, if you are riding a bicycle instead of driving a car... you aren't out compacting the roadbed with your 2-ton car.
I know these arguments have been expressed before (here even...) but a nice summary nonetheless.

Virtual tape libraries vs. tapeless backup
Virtual tape libraries satisfy the need for disk without changing softwar. But how long will it be before even the emulation of tape goes away and backup goes straight to disk?
Virtual tape libraries (VTL) are selling like hotcakes, but the lifespan of the technology is already winding down....

VTL's allow disk-based backup systems to emulate tape libraries so users can add disks to the process without changing their backup software.
Some users mistrust tape altogether, and want to move beyond it, using off-site disk storage for emergency backup. Others are comfortable with tape emulation, but don't believe VTLs that offer bare-bones functions without add-ons like deduplication are a non-starter. The complete, eventual abandonment of tape in favor of disk would make data managers' lives much easier, and several vendors are working on products to do just that. But for the time being, virtual tape is as close to tapeless backup as many data centers are going to get.

URS to Acquire Washington Group International for $2.6 Billion in Cash and Stock
Combines Leaders in Engineering, Construction and Management Services to Create Diversified "Single Source" E&C Company
Combined 2006 Revenues of $7.6 Billion, More Than 54,000 Employees and Strong Position in High Growth Power and Infrastructure Sectors
SAN FRANCISCO & BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--URS Corporation (NYSE: URS) and Washington Group International, Inc. (NYSE: WNG) today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Washington Group by URS in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $2.6 billion. The transaction will combine two world-class engineering and construction companies, expand the capabilities of both firms and capitalize on their positions in important high growth sectors, including power, infrastructure and environmental management.
"I strongly support the transaction with URS, which I believe will be beneficial to our stockholders, customers, employees and other constituencies."
The companies' combined 2006 revenues would have been $7.6 billion, the fourth highest among U.S. publicly-traded engineering and construction companies. Based on previously issued guidance, the companies would have combined 2007 revenues of approximately $8.6 billion. In addition, the companies would have had combined 2006 EBITDA of $425 million1 and total backlog exceeding $11 billion, as of March 31, 2007. The combined company would have projects in over 50 countries and more than 54,000 employees.
The combined company will offer a full range of engineering, construction, operations and maintenance services for both fossil fuel and nuclear power plants globally. The combined company also will have one of the largest teams of nuclear scientists and engineers in the industry, as well as a leading nuclear decommissioning and remediation business, enabling it to meet the anticipated resurgence in the nuclear energy market. In the infrastructure market, the combined entity will be positioned to meet growing demand for comprehensive services on large, complex transportation and water/wastewater projects around the world. In addition, the combined company is expected to be a major contractor to the federal government, including a top five provider of technical services to the U.S. Department of Defense and a top provider of engineering, management and environmental services to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Under the terms of the agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, Washington Group stockholders will receive $43.80 in cash and 0.772 shares of URS common stock for each Washington Group share. Based on the closing price of URS' stock on May 25, 2007, the last trading day prior to the announcement, the consideration is valued at $80.00 per Washington Group share, with an implied consideration mix of 55% in cash and 45% in stock. The current value of the consideration represents a premium of approximately 14% to the May 25, 2007 closing price of Washington Group shares. The transaction is intended to allow the portion of consideration received in URS stock to be tax-free to Washington Group stockholders. URS stockholders will retain their shares following the consummation of the transaction. Upon completion of the transaction, Washington Group stockholders would own approximately 31% of the combined company. The combined company will be called URS Corporation.
Martin M. Koffel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of URS, said, "URS has a history of anticipating change in the industry, and this transaction is the next logical step in building for future growth. Through this combination, both companies will be better positioned to capture growth from favorable trends across the engineering and construction sectors, including the increased investment in infrastructure projects, the focus on emissions reduction and energy independence in the power market, and the increased use of outsourcing by federal agencies, such as the U.S. Departments of Defense and Energy. Together, we will have the resources to meet increasing client demand for a single firm that can provide the full range of engineering and construction services required for large, complex projects in these high growth markets, both in the United States and abroad. In addition, our clients will benefit from the combined firm's expanded capabilities in the oil and gas, industrial process, facilities design and management, mining and homeland security sectors."
Mr. Koffel continued, "The transaction is an exceptional opportunity that offers significant benefits for both URS and Washington Group stockholders. The combination is expected to enhance URS' financial performance, including our revenue growth, long-term profitability and cash flow. In addition, the combined company's diversified revenue and client base – together with a backlog in excess of $11 billion – is expected to provide the stability and consistency of earnings that is a hallmark of URS."
Stephen G. Hanks, Chief Executive Officer of Washington Group, said, "This transaction will create a new leader in the engineering and construction industry that will deliver superior value to our stockholders, customers and employees over the long term. The increased scale and resources of the combined company, including URS' significant design resources, will further support our ability to compete for new opportunities in high growth markets. The combined company also will have a significant presence in the anticipated resurgence of the nuclear industry, including fuel sourcing, enrichment, power generation and spent fuel reprocessing and disposition."
Mr. Hanks continued, "We have great respect for the URS team, our businesses complement each other, and we have highly compatible cultures. The employees of both companies will enjoy the benefits of being part of a robust global organization, with a diverse portfolio of businesses and services and broad career opportunities. I look forward to working with Martin and his team to deliver on the tremendous potential of the combined company."
Dennis Washington, Chairman of the Washington Group Board of Directors, stated, "I strongly support the transaction with URS, which I believe will be beneficial to our stockholders, customers, employees and other constituencies." Mr. Washington beneficially owns stock options currently exercisable for approximately 3.2 million shares of Washington Group common stock.
URS expects to achieve annual pre-tax cost synergies of $50 million to $55 million in 2008. URS also expects the transaction to be accretive to cash EPS in 2008 and beyond, neutral to accretive to GAAP EPS in 2008, and accretive to GAAP EPS in 2009 and beyond, not including revenue synergies expected through the combination. In addition, the combined company should be able to benefit from Washington Group's significant favorable tax attributes.
URS has received a firm commitment from Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley to provide debt financing for the cash portion of the transaction, subject to customary conditions. The transaction is not conditioned on financing and is expected to close in the second half of 2007. Following the close of the transaction, URS is expected to have approximately $1.5 billion in debt and a debt-to-total capital ratio of approximately 37%.
Said Mr. Koffel, "We have a proven track record of successfully integrating large acquisitions and managing our strong cash flows to pay down debt aggressively. We are committed to deleveraging and maintaining balance sheet flexibility."
The transaction is subject to the approval of the merger agreement by Washington Group stockholders, the approval of URS' issuance of shares in the transaction by URS stockholders, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Martin M. Koffel will remain CEO of the combined company. Upon completion of the transaction, one current member of the Washington Group Board of Directors will join an expanded URS Board of Directors.
Morgan Stanley acted as lead financial advisor to URS and Latham & Watkins and Cooley Godward Kronish LLP served as URS' legal counsel. UBS also advised URS on the transaction. Goldman Sachs acted as financial advisor to Washington Group and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Jones Day served as Washington Group's legal counsel.
Additional information about this transaction is available online at www.urs-wng.com.
URS and Washington Group will host a joint conference call Tuesday, May 29, 2007, at 8:30 a.m. EDT to discuss the transaction. The dial-in number for United States callers is (800) 289-0533 and the dial-in number for participants located outside of the United States is (913) 981-5525. The passcode for all callers is 1070746.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use the non-GAAP financial measure "EBITDA." EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP measure helps investors to gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts our performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should not consider this non-GAAP measure as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with GAAP.

BRIEF AND ENIGMATIC THOUGH IT BE TO ALL BUT THOSE CONcerned, a prefatory acknowledgment is an earned and special pleasure for an author.
My wife, Leslie, has devoted many long and weary hours to typing all the many versions of each of these chapters in every stage of their development. Her complete secretarial efficiency—and stern editorial eye—has been invaluable. In an important sense, however, the substance of the book also is hers as much as it is mine. This book is the intellectual manifestation of a series of spiritual quests and ordeals which we have thought through and lived through together. If this book says anything, then she, too, speaks; though I fear her own clear voice is muffled by the scholarly apparatus and the specific formulations, for all of which I bear full responsibility.
Over many years, I have been deeply influenced by the persistent and penetrating questions and probings of Professor Paul Wienpahl, my friend and colleague. He has brought me to wrestle, in the right way, with points of view I either had dismissed as plainly wrong or else had too

Yesterday the British Medical Journal hammered home the proverbial final nail in Andrew Wakefield's coffin. Wakefield is the former doctor whose infamous 1998 study linking childhood vaccines to autism sparked international concerns about immunizations and gave rise to the phenomenon that is Jenny McCarthy, M.D. Already discredited for having been on the payroll of trial lawyers looking to sue vaccine makers, Wakefield has now been further exposed has now been further exposed by BMJ as a fraud who tinkered with his patient's medical histories. So what does this mean for Washington, which has some of the lowest immunization rates in the country?
"Vaccine hesitancy has been a problem in our state," she says. "We're really glad to see someone else come forward and say that, once again, this study was a fraud."
Roberts says that there's no one reason why Washington lags behind other states in immunizations. And although the trend has been upward since 2003, when the state was nearly dead last in the country, the most recent numbers show that in 2009 only 64.9 percent of Washington children ages 19 to 35 months old had received their full vaccinations--nearly five points lower than the national average.
Chalk it up to a frontier mentality and the West Coast's warm embrace of alternative medicines, says Roberts. There's also a link, she says, between high-income, highly educated families and a higher rate of opting out. "When we talk to parents, we hear a lot of 'Immunizations aren't for me or my family,' especially in affluent populations," she says.
Roberts says her examples of wealthier families saying no to needles aren't strictly anecdotal. According to her, when you look at a map of Western Washington, anti-vaccine pockets are visible on Vashon and Whidbey Islands and in the richer suburbs ringing Seattle and Olympia.
It's a connection confirmed by journalist Seth Mnookin, whose latest book, The Panic Virus, focuses on the way the vaccine controversy spread most virulently in tony communities. In an excerpt in Newsweek, Mnookin writes that the vaccine rates in "progressive enclaves" like his own in Park Slope, Brooklyn, continue to plummet.
"Take Ashland, Ore., the home to a nationally renowned Shakespeare festival," writes Mnookin. "Its vaccine exemption rate is the highest in the country. Marin County, just north of San Francisco, is another example: it has the nation's fifth-highest average per capita income--and an exemption rate more than three times the rest of the state."
Roberts says she hopes the tide is turning when it comes to parents speaking out against vaccine boogeymen. While she says it was once common for them to tell her that talking about vaccines among their peers was uncomfortable--"like talking about religion and politics"--she says she now sees parents who do immunize becoming more outspoken.
Still, as Roberts knows all too well, after a decade of misinformation posing as scientific fact, there's still a lot of ground to be made up.
"Last year, a mom in a focus group told us that she doesn't let her family eat sugar, and that's how she protects against infectious diseases," she says. "At times like that you realize how hard it is to fight against an urban legend."

Skip to comments.New type of commander may avoid Katrina-like chaos
Posted on 07/03/2011 1:49:17 PM PDT by Hunton Peck
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AP) The Defense Department is grooming a new type of commander to coordinate the military response to domestic disasters, hoping to save lives by avoiding some of the chaos that plagued the Hurricane Katrina rescue effort.
The officers, called dual-status commanders, would be able to lead both active-duty and National Guard troops a power that requires special training and authority because of legal restrictions on the use of the armed forces on U.S. soil.
No one commander had that authority in the aftermath of Katrina, and military and civilian experts say the lack of coordination contributed to the nightmarish delays, duplications and gaps in the huge rescue effort.
"It was just like a solid wall was between the two entities," said Georgia National Guard Col. Michael Scholes, who was part of the Katrina response.
Top Defense Department officials believe dual-status commanders are the key to reducing at least some of those failures.

Alright! More government...what can possibly go wrong?
I hope they're training for an EMP attack or even a nuclear attack.
I hope that when it happens, US troops will be trustworthy.
And there is a DAMN GOOD REASON FOR THIS TOO!!!
It was the governor and mayor that caused all the chaos. Then turned around and blamed Bush.
A standing army with Power against the people??? No way!!!
I hope theyre training for an EMP attack or even a nuclear attack.
I think congress didn't allocate money needed to "harden" our power grids against an EMP attack. As far as a nuclear attack: we're sitting ducks.
That's what I'm thinking. That is, a standing, gay army.
That is, a standing, gay army.
Let them wear bright pink helmets. They make excellent ....
Never mind.
We have a fine group of young men and women protecting our interests. Support them in all you do and say!!
> I think congress didnt allocate money needed to harden
> our power grids against an EMP attack. As far as a
> nuclear attack: were sitting ducks.
So the money we're paying for government education, government medical care, government funded abortions, government "welfare", and government aid to countries full of people who hate us and want to kill us, all that money is well spent.
Is it just me, or is anybody else having any trouble with this?
Opening the door to use military on US soil against US citizens? Thats not going to turn out well. Another step down the road to totalitarianism.
If Katrina had hit a majority white area the story would have been off the front page in a week.
The government sure has not done anywhere near as much for the midwest tornado and flood victims as they did for those hit by Katrina.
Why isn't the media screaming about this?
Why isn't Shep Smith standing on a devastated midwestern street with tears running down his face, crying about the poor victims?
Roger Kimball asks some good questions
A Tale Of Two Disasters - By Roger Kimble
Remember the hysteria the greeted Hurricane Katrina? The denunciations of George Bush and the Army Corps of Engineers? The round-the-clock charges of racism?The unremitting media consternation about government failure?
Compare all that with the formerly mainstream medias response to the devastation wrought by tornadoes these last few weeks in the Midwest. In order to help you with the exercise, I pass along a few photographs from that unfolding horror, with accompanying questions that a friend sent me.
"We have a fine group of young men and women protecting our interests."
I know we do now. What I'm concerned about is what 0bama and his buds are trying to turn it into. Putting more and more burdens on true patriots, extending even to having to wonder about the guy in the next bunk.
It also helps if you have governors, mayors, police chiefs, etc., who aren't idiots.
And does anyone remember the devastating Nashville flood last year? The MSM barely mentioned the worst disaster in Nashville history. Obama has yet to publicly comment on that disaster.
I'll tell you, if the MSM and liberals don't say anything about a subject, it's as if it never happened.
Yes, as bad as Katrina was, what about all of other disasters which have happened, especially those in "red" states???????
Yes, we have fine patriotic men and women in our military. But to be honest, we also have some of the biggest scumbags in the nation wearing the same uniforms. Our volunteer military draws from our ever-devolving society, so whatever problems and perversions we have in the civilian world, are in the military as well. Any veteran can back me on this.
Unfortunately, thanks to our Commie White House inhabitant, a lame-duck Commie Congress, and spineless "politicians in uniform", aka general officers, we will also soon have openly homosexual men and women wearing those uniforms.
It definitely ain't my father's Army anymore. Hell's bell's...it's not even my Army anymore, and I've only been out for 15 years.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
A lot of it was MSM misinformation.
What's the problem? I was just making a statement that money wasn't allocated to protect our power grids. That WOULD be money well spent.
There is only one kind of disaster for FEDGOV and its Wall St./City of London Masters and that is a revolt by people sick and tired of being over-taxed, over-regulated, and seeing their civilization disappear. That is what all this is being prepared for. Don't you doubt it for a minute.
It doesn't matter whether a disaster happened in a red or blue state. What matters is who is president. Since Obama is in charge now, the MSM will pass on anything that could reflect poorly on him.
If the Nashville floods had happened during Bush's watch, everyone would have heard plenty about it.
"You're from the National Guard? Well, by order of the president for life, I'm your new commanding general, and I am ordering you to turn your guns onto that unruly and seditious mob of traitorous Tea Party protesters!"
"I said THEM, you ignorant peasants, not ME! Put those guns down immediately! I AM ORDERING YOU TO OBEY ME! OBEY ME!!!"
Pick a Coast Guard admiral; they're already used to that role.
No problem at all.
I didn't think I would need the /sarg tag.
Oops. Sorry. I was too quick on the draw.
I went through Katrina in Louisiana. A few miles from New Orleans just over the I 10 twin span. We were flooded out but we had very little trouble. The local authorities acted quickly to the point that two days after it hit the animal control officers were rounding up stray abandoned pets and taking them to a make shift shelter where volunteers were taking care of them until their owners could retrieve them. I always say I might live a few miles from New Orleans but it might as well be a hundred miles.
I made a mistake. It was 3 days after Katrina hit when the animal control was picking up pets. My neighborhood was totally flooded, about 7 or 8 feet of water. People who came back immediately were feeding the strays all the stuff they were pulling out of their freezers. It was really nice how people pulled together.
And where, exactly, does this new dual-status legal authority come from?
Same thing happened over here. People must not equate Louisiana with New Orleans... that was caused ultimately by lbj and his dream of a great society... greatest failure maybe. GOD bless everyone that helped their neighbors and others... Happy 4th to you FRiend.
That's a very good question. toward the end of the article, there's some discussion of who would have command over the commanders, and the attempt at an answer amounts to "Umm, the governor, I guess." At least, I read it as being pretty indefinite on that point.

After successfully fending off accusations of discrimination from one teacher and settling claims with another, elite private institution Lakeside is back in court. Regina Higgins began teaching history in the middle school in 1999. Over the next several years, she claims, she helped create the current sixth grade history curriculum and an outdoor program and brought the Geography Bee to the school. She also served on the admissions committee and coached soccer and basketball.
Nevertheless, Higgins says the school told her in January that her contract would end in June. On June 3, she sued the school in King County Superior Court for discrimination.According to Higgins, who is African American, her decade at the school was marked by racial tensions. In court documents she points to a 2000 meeting to discuss race. She claims someone in attendance made a comment about being uncomfortable discussing the subject with her there.
On top of that, she says, the administration let offensive comments by students or faculty slip by. Once, she says, an African-American student complained to her about a teacher that had the students do a history re-enactment wherein all the black kids were cast as slaves and the white kids as slave-owners. Higgins says she brought the matter to the school, which took no action. She was also told to change her persona to make parents more comfortable, she claims.
But according to the complaint, Higgins believes the real impetus for letting her go at the end of this year was her support for teachers Chance Sims and Novella Coleman in a 2006 discrimination suit. Sims and Coleman both successfully fought a controversial invitation to conservative author Dinesh D'Souza to speak at the Lakeside campus, but eventually resigned their positions, saying the school was unsupportive of minority teachers. (See Nina Shapiro's cover story on the Sims and Coleman cases.) Higgins gave a deposition in support of the teachers during the course of that suit.
Coleman's claims were thrown out by a judge and Sims settled with Lakeside. Representatives of Lakeside and their attorneys did not respond to requests for comment left earlier today.
Higgins' attorney Susan Mindenbergs says she believes her client's case can stand up to the reasoning behind tossing Coleman's claims. Mindenbergs adds that she took the case on because "It's important for all of us to know that we have rights and that we have remedies when our rights our violated."
