Attorney General Eric Holder's announcement that two U.S. attorneys have been assigned to lead a criminal investigation into possible, unauthorized leaks of classified information is being met with skepticism by GOP lawmakers questioning whether the attorneys will be able to act independently of the Obama administration.
"I have no doubt that these U.S. attorneys are excellent prosecutors," GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said. "However, they would still be operating under the Obama administration's Department of Justice. The better solution is to appoint an outside counsel to impartially investigate what will likely lead to a White House inquiry."
Holder said late Friday he had assigned the investigation to Ronald C. Machen Jr., a U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and Rod J. Rosenstein, a U.S. attorney for Maryland.
"These two highly-respected and experienced prosecutors will be directing separate investigations currently being conducted by the FBI," Holder said. "I have every confidence in their abilities to doggedly follow the facts and the evidence in the pursuit of justice wherever it leads."
The announcement follows a bipartisan call from Capitol Hill for an investigation and a special prosecutor to look into suspect national security leaks -- which congressional lawmakers say is needed because the disclosures have put Americans world-wide at risk and perhaps came from the administration.
Holder said Machen and Rosenstein are "fully authorized" to prosecute criminal violations and talk with U.S. intelligence officials and that their investigations can reach into Congress and the administration.
Still, congressional Republicans expressed uncertainty.
"The Attorney General is so politicized in his office," Texas GOP Rep. Lamar Smith, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News on Saturday. "I just hope these U.S. attorneys will be totally independent and go where the trail leads them."
The CIA and the Justice Department's national security division said before Holder's announcement that they will not participate in investigations.
President Obama said Friday that the leaks did not come from the White House.
"The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive," he said.
However, the administration reportedly has not support the appointment of a special prosecutor.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Do The Ducks Know Niedermayer Plan
by Paul on 09/10/07 at 10:02 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun,
Either Scott Niedermayer is planning on pulling a Roger Clemens by showing up after Christmas, or we need to re-evaluate the notion he's one of the game's great leaders.
The Ducks captain couldn't possibly let his teammates and team management twist in the wind as it appears.

June 1st. Two months to my 23rd birthday. I dont know if it's mean something or not. My 22 is Taylor Swift's song which is consist of confused, lonely and miserable thing , without happiness and magical story. There's a lot of crying in my bed time. Even in daytime I did too. In several months after my birthday is the worst. Being alone doesnt help me like it used to , moreover it makes me think unbelieveble thing that turn me into bad person. Snap at something people said or have that envious feeling at anything my sister or my friend have.
Sally, my guitar , become my best companion. She wipe my tears everytime I end up crying while singing the song. It get better this past few months. Have a great time with friends help me a lot. It's decreased my depression as long as the sensitif topic didn't coming out. I'm being so skillfull at lying and it's so hard to tell the truth. The good thing is I tried to opened up about my problems for the first time in my lifetime.
I said 'It's so hard to find happiness nowadays'. And they asked me 'what happened with you to say something like that?' I just laugh and said 'nothing'. I barely know what's going on , how can I tell people what happened.
I'm not good enough to say I'm fine now. Yes I still cry from time to time but not as much as that time. I want to be me who cries at tearjerking movie , not from something barely happened in my life.
It's merely a confession of my unclear issue and a way to thanks a friend who understand me and still believe in me, even when I'm not being trustworthy to myself.
Please be with me even when I'm not in my good state. And I'm sorry for being a liar.
P.S. It's not written for specific someone. it's for anyone who read this stupid yet meaningful (for me) thing.

Owl: WikiLeaks Posts 30,000 Searchable Emails — Could Russians Give Trump the Others as an "October Surprise"?
30,000 emails is not that many — highly likely she held back most of the emails on Wall Street, Saudi, and Israeli conflicts of interest — cash to the Clinton Foundation for US war-mongering policies. Noteworthy that Facebook censored this — Trump should demand an investigation into value of the undeclared in kind financial contributions of Google and Facebook to the Clinton campaign.

Confusion over 'kidnapped' lesbian Syrian blogger
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
30 minutes and no comments – that must be a record. Are PinkNews commenters so bewildered they are struck dumb? So is there a real blogger, albeit using a false identity? Is it an entrapment blog to identify those in Syria hostile to the regime?
I'm totally lost on this one…. where does her Montreal girlfriend fit into all of this?
No not struck dumb! There has been MUCH discussion about the whole subject of Amina, of her incredibly well written Blog – A Gay Girl in Damascus – and of her alleged disappearance. Here are 2 links which may help, but please note that thousands of comments were erased from the FB link, which is https://www.facebook.com/FreeAminaArraf. An additional interesting link is this one http://bookmaniac.org/painful-doubts-about-amina/.
My own feelings on all of this are that identity is certainly important but that FREEDOM is the most important issue of all.
So for me, in the end, it is really fairly irrelevant whether the photos of Amina are real or whether indeed the detail of her name is real, whether her Blog is true or whether she even exists altogether, not that I'm assuming or not assuming any of the above. What does matter is that what has or has not happened to Amina is something that absolutely would happen, and indeed IS happening everyday in Syria. In other words, Amina's story symbolizes the abuse of human rights in Syria today. Would it therefore be wise not to be so side-tracked with the he-said she-said clutter, and instead to focus on what REALLY matters, which is to bring to the attention of the world the oppression and human rights abuse which the Syrian people, 10,000 of whom are currently 'detained' all over the country, are experiencing as I write this?
Sophie Younger, I salute you.
It IS a hoax and it has done nothing but but real people in danger
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and really like learning more on this matter. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more details? It is extremely helpful for me.

They've been called the first "Social Games" — and the London Summer Olympics have delivered on that promise, making social stars out of athletes like gymnast Gabby Douglas, who saw her Facebook fanbase grow by nearly 4,000 percent during the games.
Gymnasts Marcel Nguyen and Jordyn Wieber were also among the big winners on Facebook, according to a research firm that tracked athletes' fan numbers during the games.
Douglas took the Olympics and Facebook by storm when she coolly led her team to an all-around gold and then winning the individual all-around gold, as well. As of Sunday, she had 583,912 fans on Facebook. Back on July 27, the day of the opening ceremony, she had just 14,358. Those numbers are from the marketing firm Wildfire.
Here's the firm's top 10, ranked by percentage growth in their Facebook fans since July 27:

I'm still planning on reading the History myself (oy is that going to be a to-do), but several of my other pieces I can't do. I have read "Scryer's Gulch" at readings, but it really needs a Sam Elliot type to do it justice. A British accent is 100% necessary for "Dalston" and "The Amber Cross," and while I can do Received Pronunciation fairly well I'm not consistent enough for my own taste and I can't do Cockney and the other British accents worth a damn. (When I read from "Dalston" live I tell the audience, "Imagine Juliet Stevenson is reading this instead of me.")
So I'm taking Neil Gaiman's advice and trying out ACX, a service via Amazon and Audible (same diff) where authors can hook up with audiobook producers. I'm getting a sample from a voice actress/producer next week and I think we may have the audiobook up by the end of the month. If I like what we do and she'll read erotica (unsure about that), I may ask her to do "The Amber Cross" as well.
It's all very exciting, this modern age in which we live.

NPCs can be so dry and bland when they come up and you aren't prepared for them. Other NPCs often times only have the stats rolled up and their personalities are neglected. That is where a list of simple characteristics can come in handy and you can stereotype the NPC and at least give them some kind of quirk that defines them a little better. Nobody may remember the innkeeper at that one city, but they may very well remember the innkeeper that picked his nose right before he gave the players their change. Just some little things to define the NPCs and make them more real. Some can be used by players as well to spice up their character a little.

The present invention relates to a phantom and the manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a phantom having an exudate network connecting to a sculpted opening simulating a wound to be used for experimenting how exudates can affect the efficiency of a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system.
Generally, a vacuum assisted closure (VAC) therapy or a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), being classified as a kind of adjuvant physical therapy, is operated by applying a negative pressure pump to a patch of a bio-compatible porous wound dressing covering a wound for forming a negative pressure inside the wound, by that, as the negative pressure will cause the volume of the porous wound dressing to contract and consequently force the wound to close as well as the shear stresses of the contracted porous wound dressing will cause a drag to the boundary tissues of the wound for enhancing cell division and proliferation, the healing of the wound can be accelerated. It is noted that the application of the negative pressure through the porous wound dressing not only can improve the growth of blood vessels and the local blood circulation as the flowing of tissue fluid between cells can be enhanced, but also it can prevent the happening of edema and inflammation, create a moist healing environment with good wound protection as it can draw cellular waste and excess tissue fluid out of the wound, and thus the healing time of the wound can be reduced.
Conventionally, the development of a NPWT system must go through several clinical experiments just to verify its effectiveness in physical and biological therapy. Currently, it is common to use living animal, such as pig, rabbit or mouse, in such clinical experiments. However, not to mention the difficulties in development of a NPWT system using the result of such animal experiment as there are conceivable differences between human tissue and animal tissue, just the more and more strict animal experiment regulation by the effort of humanitarian and animal protection associations will cause huge delay in developing a mature NPWT product.
In view of the aforesaid shortcomings, there are already many phantoms that are capable of mimicking human tissue being developed for using in those therapeutic effectiveness verifications, such as solid water phantom, polystyrene phantom acrylic phantom, thermoplastic phantom and gelatin phantom, etc. The aforesaid phantoms are mostly being molded into blocks or other geometrical shapes so as to facilitate the proceeding the effectiveness verifications. It is noted that the gelatin phantom made of animal protein can be applied in applications more than those other phantoms. In food industry, it can be made into all kinds of soft sweets, mousse, jelly, meat aspic, cakes, and so on; and in pharmaceutical industry, it can be made into hard capsules, soft capsules, sugar-coated pills, and so on; and in biomedicine industry, it can be made into artificial dressings, artificial skins and phantoms, and so on. As the gelatin can form a smooth and elastic jelly that its strength is adjustable according to its gelatin concentration, and is a hydrophile jelly capable of melting into liquid-like glue when it is heated to a temperature above 40� C. and solidifying back into jelly when it is cooled down to below 30� C., phantoms of different elasticity and thicknesses can be made from gelatins of different compositions for the purpose of mimicking different layers in a human skin like epidermis layer, dermis layer, and subcutaneous layer. Moreover, the gelatin phantom can be formed with a plurality of layers, each having channels formed therein to be used for operating as the blood vessels in the skin as there can be a blood mimicking fluid flowing in those channels.
However, as the channels of different layers in the conventional gelatin phantom are not formed interconnecting with each other, the blood mimicking fluid is prohibited from flowing between layers so that even the blood mimicking fluid flowing in the channels of the topmost layer is flowing under a sculpted wound formed on the gelatin phantom and can not ooze out of the wound just likes an actual skin wound does. It is known that the human blood and tissue fluid are capable of flowing between skin layers and thus it is for sure that there will be blood and tissue fluid ooze out of an open wound at any time during the healing. Therefore, the conventional gelatin phantom can not mimic the exudate of an open wound, there will be errors when it is used for experimenting how exudates can affect the efficiency of a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system.
In view of the disadvantages of prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a phantom and its manufacturing method, in which the phantom is configured with an exudate network connecting to a sculpted opening simulating a wound to be used for experimenting with high accuracy how exudates can affect the efficiency of a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a phantom, which comprises the steps of: disposing an exudate network with interconnecting at least a first channel and at least a second channel in a container in a manner that the first channel is transversely disposed for an exudate to flow laterally in the container and the top portion of the second channel is longitudinally disposed for the exudate to flow vertically in the container; forming a plurality of solid layers by stacking one on top of another while enabling the first channel to be disposed at the bottommost solid layer and the top of the second channel to be disposed either inside the topmost solid layer or exposed outside the top of the topmost solid layer as the bottom of the second channel is connected to the first channel and extending therefrom upward to the topmost solid layer; and forming a recess in the topmost solid layer in a manner that the bottom of the recess is connected to the second channel.
Moreover, the present invention provide a phantom, which comprises: a plurality of solid layers, formed by stacking one on top of another while enabling a second solid layer to be disposed on top of a first solid layer in the plural solid layers; and at least an exudate network, formed inside the plural solid layers with interconnecting at least one first channel and at least one second channel in a manner that the at least one first channel is transversely disposed for an exudate to flow laterally in the first solid layer and the at least one second channel is longitudinally disposed for the exudate to flow vertically; wherein, the top of the second channel is disposed either at the top of the second solid layer or exposed outside the second solid layer as the bottom of the second channel is connected to the first channel and extending therefrom upward to the topmost solid layer.
Further scope of applicability of the present application will become more apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention and wherein:
For your esteemed members of reviewing committee to further understand and recognize the fulfilled functions and structural characteristics of the invention, several exemplary embodiments cooperating with detailed description are presented as the follows.
Please refer to

To sum up, the present invention provides a phantom suitable to be used for experimenting how exudates can affect the efficiency of a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system as it is configured with an exudate network connecting to a sculpted opening simulating a breeding wound. Moreover, it can be manufactured by a simple process with less cost, so that it is used as a test platform in various experiments, e.g. the experiment for verifying the effectiveness of a NPWT system when such NPWT system is designed for treating wounds of various sizes, shapes and depths; the experiment for comparing the negative pressure variation caused by the use of different dressings in a wound; and the experiment for comparing the performance of different NPWT systems, and so on. In addition, it can be used as an specification verification platform for assisting the developing of a new NPWT system in a manner that it can shorten the time required for developing a new NPWT system since there can be less animal experiments required.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

text: Abortion UT-TT Poll: Texans Divided on Gay Marriage By Gender, Religion, Politics By Ross Ramsey / The Texas Tribune • Jun 24, 2015 Emily Albracht / The Texas Tribune Texas voters are split on whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry and on whether businesses should be required to provide services to them, according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll. Ahead of an impending U.S. Supreme Court decision on legal challenges to same-sex marriage bans, Texas voters — by a narrow margin — said gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to wed. But neither side of the question drew a majority of the support, and 14 percent said they don't know which way the court should rule. Texas Abortion Curbs Go Into Effect Soon, Unless Supreme Court Acts By Wade Goodwyn • Jun 24, 2015 At the hands of the Texas Legislature, the last four years have been long for supporters of abortion rights. The next blow lands on July 1, when a new law will go into effect in Texas and drastically reduce access to abortion services — likely leaving just nine clinics that perform abortions open in the entire state. The controversial law, passed in 2013, requires clinics to meet tougher building standards and doctors to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. U.S. Supreme Court To Decide Whether To Take Up Texas Abortion Case By Mark Sherman • Jun 22, 2015 Ryan E. Poppe / TPR News WASHINGTON — Abortion is back before the Supreme Court, and the justices could signal by the end of June whether they are likely to take up the biggest case on the hot-button subject in nearly a quarter-century. If the court steps in, the hearing and the eventual ruling would come amid the 2016 presidential campaign. The court is considering an emergency appeal from abortion providers in Texas, who want the justices to block two provisions of a state law that already has forced the closure of roughly half the licensed abortion clinics in the state. Ten of the remaining 19 clinics will have to shut their doors by July 1, without an order from the Supreme Court. Texas Matters: HB2 - The Abortion Battle Continues By David Martin Davies • Jun 12, 2015 Ryan E. Poppe / TPR News Listen Listening... / 5:13 This week the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Texas and some of the harshest restrictions on abortion in the country. Louisiana: Texas Abortion Ruling Reopens Question In La. Case By Janet McConnaughey • Jun 12, 2015 Ryan E. Poppe / TPR News NEW ORLEANS — Eleven days before trial, Louisiana has asked a federal judge to throw out one of two claims against its law requiring doctors who perform abortions to be able to admit patients to a hospital within 30 miles. Tuesday's ruling for a different Texas law erases abortion clinics' planned arguments that legislators passed Louisiana's law to keep women from getting abortions, said Kyle Duncan, a Washington, D.C., attorney representing the state.

After a second half rally in which the Jazz took the lead, Jazz fans were crushed as they watched their team fall to the Chicago Bulls, 93-89. Al Jefferson had a huge night, scoring a career high 32 points, and getting 13 rebounds. However it was the ex-Jazz player Carlos Boozer who broke the hearts of the Jazz nation, with 19 points to hand the Bulls the win.

UT Seeks Cost-Cutting Advice From Corporate Superstars
The vice president of Boeing International. The chief operating officer of Accenture. A senior vice president at Dell.
What do these particular executives share in common? A commitment to apply their business acumen to help UT.
Today the University announced the formation of the 13-member Committee on Business Productivity, which will help UT review its business practices and make recommendations to cut costs and increase efficiency.
And after last year's $92 million cut in state funding, never before have those recommendations been needed so urgently.
The committee will analyze data, interview staffers, and develop benchmarks, all with the goal of increasing efficiency. It will deliver a final report by the end of December.
"Examining and, when necessary, overhauling the way we do business is essential for UT to remain a top national research university," President Bill Powers said in an official statement.
Last month, Texas A&M University drew criticism after announcing that they were looking at privatizing some campus services to cut costs.
UT's chief financial officer, Kevin Hegarty, told the Texas Tribune that some changes like that have already happened at UT.
Jenifer Sarver, spokeswoman for the UT advocacy group the Texas Coalition for Excellence in Higher Education, calls the committee a "smart and savvy" move by the University.
"We applaud UT for continuing to push the envelope and become stronger and more efficient," Sarver says. "This committee is in direct contrast to anyone who would suggest UT is trying to maintain the status quo. Universities shouldn't always be run like businesses, but that doesn't mean we don't have much to learn from business leaders."
The committee already has one meeting, from late March, under its belt. UT's announcement is timely, since the UT Board of Regents will meet this Thursday.
Many of the committee members are Texas Exes, but those who aren't come from schools that aren't too shabby, either: among their alma maters are Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford.

Baseball Player Was Kenny Chesney's First Choice
Country singer Kenny Chesney had another job in mind before his music career took off - he wanted to be a baseball star. The singer/songwriter played on his high school baseball team when he was a teen, before he landed his first record deal.
And he decided to pursue music full-time after realizing his smaller stature would hinder his dream of becoming a professional player. He says, "I wanted to be an athlete. I quit growing when I was a freshman in high school so that was a problem. (I played) baseball. I was second base."
Kenny Chesney went on becoming one of the most successful country musicians in his era. He has received six Academy of Country Music Awards, including four consecutive Entertainer of the Year Awards from 2005 to 2008.

I mean, of course, whether the noun Brexit should normally be used with a definite article ("Are you for or against the Brexit?") or without ("Are you for or against Brexit?").
We need to ignore all the constructions in which Brexit is a modifier of another noun: the Brexit vote, the Brexit campaigners, the Brexit turmoil, etc. But when Brexit is the head of a noun phrase, I've been assuming that it's a strong proper name that should be anarthrous, like Christmas or Passchendaele or Language Log.
Recently I've learned that not everyone agrees with me. Some examples:
Ben Casselman, "How To Make Sense Of The Brexit Turmoil", FiveThirtyEight 6/24/2016: The "Brexit," as the British exit from the EU is widely known, is unprecedented — no country has ever left the union. […] But the shock of the Brexit and the uncertainty over what happens next could make investors more cautious, hurting stock prices and making banks more reluctant to lend.
David Nelson, "Why the Brexit is really British Independence Day", Yahoo Finance 6/26/2016: Already, nationalist parties throughout the continent have petitioned to hold exit referendum's similar to the Brexit.
"Scotland is so pissed about the Brexit it might break up with the UK", Vice News 6/25/2016: Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan said in response to the Brexit that, ultimately, the future unification of Ireland would be in the best interest of its citizens, but that holding a referendum while the Brits were negotiating their exit from the EU would only create further chaos and division.
I've been even more surprised by the use of Brexit with an indefinite article, apparently because the actual event hasn't entirely happened yet, so that the future is full of many different virtual Brexits:
Heather Saul, "Ricky Gervais explains why a Brexit won't actually make a difference", The Independent 6/25/2016: The narrow vote for a Brexit by 52 per cent means some millennials, who could now see two recessions before turning 30, believe they have been denied the financial stability, secure pensions and job opportunities enjoyed by the baby boomers who voted to leave.
Georgi Kantchev et al., "Fund Managers Tally the Cost of a 'Brexit'", WSJ 6/24/2016: Ahead of the end result, San Diego-based Sunrise Capital Partners LLC shut down most of its short term-trading systems, wary that they would be ill-equipped to deal with the volatility that a Brexit would generate in currency markets.
Leonidas Stergiou, "What a Brexit could mean for Greece", ekathimerini 6/24/2016: A Brexit would have significant economic, social and political consequences for Greece, both short- and long-term.
But just to show that I'm not alone:
"Nigel Farage says Britain heading for recession 'regardless of Brexit'", The Guardian 6/26/2016: "There's nothing new here," he told the Sunday Telegraph. "I think we are going into a mild recession anyway, completely regardless of Brexit."
Jeffrey Sachs, "The Meaning of Brexit", Project Syndicate 6/25/2016: Moreover, leaving the EU will wound the British economy, and could well push Scotland to leave the United Kingdom – to say nothing of Brexit's ramifications for the future of European integration. Brexit is thus a watershed event that signals the need for a new kind of globalization, one that could be far superior to the status quo that was rejected at the British polls.
Gautam Mukunda, "What Brexit Means for the Openness of the World Economy", Harvard Business Review 6/24/2016: So what does Brexit mean for this important relationship? Brexit, assuming that the Parliament does not exercise its right to overrule the voters, seems likely to be one of the most consequential events for America and the world since the end of the Cold War.
Asked what he would do as president if Texas seceded from the United States, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump on Saturday said he did not think that would happen.
"Texas will never do that because Texas loves me," Trump told reporters in Scotland.]]>

And so on…
Given Mr. Trump's role in pushing the envelope of American political insults, many will consider this to be karmic justice. It's getting picked up on the back streets of the internet, and may have some of the same impact on his future that "lyin' Ted" and "liddle Marco" had on the careers of his previous opponents.
There were also apparently some more subtle forms of communication associated with his trip:

There's a possibility for the Article 50 trigger to be delayed, and the UK simply to carry on in membership, and then – once the UK population has had long enough to digest the real implications of Leave […] a second referendum could be held, perhaps this time under better conditions. I'm not sure that this will happen, though, precisely because the issue is complicated by the internal territorial pressures discussed in the next section. I don't think anyone is under any illusion that Boris Johnson is not some sort of ideological Leaver, so it could be that if he becomes Prime Minister then we will see moves in this direction.
Bob writes:
I *think* the clearly intended message is that Boris Johnson is NOT motivated by ideology but simply by personal ambition to get Cameron out of the way, and I *think* the logical interpretation of all those negatives is the opposite, but I'm not sure.
I *think* Bob might be wrong about how the negatives pile up. Re-layering the onion, in simplified form:
BJ is a true Leaver = YES(BJ wants Leave) BJ is not a true Leaver = NO(BJ wants Leave) It's an illusion that BJ is not a true Leaver = YES(BJ wants Leave) No one is under the illusion that BJ is not a true Leaver = NO(BJ wants Leave)
And "I don't think that anyone is under the illusion that P" is a subjectively-hedged way of saying "No one is under the illusion that P".
So * *think* it all comes out as (Bob *thinks*) it was intended, meaning that BJ is not an ideological Leaver, but just an ambitious politician.
When I first read the Verfassungsblog Q&A, however, I interpreted the passage in the the opposite way, namely that BJ is an ideological Leaver who would trigger Article 50 as soon as he can — because I don't follow UK politics closely enough to immediately latch onto the plausible implication of an internal Conservative leadership struggle.
Definitely one for the misnegation files, even if the author's intent lines up with the logical interpretation of the phrase.

Much of the signage is routine, so I won't transcribe and translate all of it. Most interesting, at least to me, though, is that there seems to be enough business from Tibetans in this part of town that a dentist would go to the trouble of putting up a sign in their language.
The Tibetan line at the top reads (left to right):
stabs bde'i so sman khang སྟབས་བདེའི་སོ་སྨན་ཁང
("Convenient Dental Clinic")
Lexical notes:
stabs (or thabs) bde = "convenient; skillful", like Chinese fāngbiàn 方便
so ("tooth") sman ("medicine") = "dentist"
khang = office
Other translations for the adjective besides "convenient" are "simple" or "easy." It's used in terms like "fast food" or "convenience store".
The other Tibetan writing is simply the address (building number and the floor the clinic is on) on the bottom left and the telephone numbers on the bottom right.
The two Korean syllables just below that are ch'ikwa 치과 (齿科) ("dentistry; dental clinic").
The partially obscured green sign in Chinese seems more intriguing:
yímín lǜkǎ 移民綠卡 ("immigration and green cards")
mínshì sùsòng 民事訴訟 ("civil suits")
fángdìchǎn 房地產 ("real estate")
xíngshì fànzuì 刑事犯罪 ("criminal offenses")
The wide assortment of signs in Manhattan offers a free lesson in multilingualism and multiculturalism — if you stop to read them.

There were no little shovels. But I can tell you that served with sauerkraut, strong horseradish, and potato dumplings, it was absolutely delicious, and accompanied by a tall glass of the local pilsner and the company of some extremely smart German linguists it completed the sort of evening that makes me feel I must come back to Germany more often. Much more often.
I took up the German menu again and looked for the corresponding item. Frankische Schäufele is what it said there. The translation was apparently due to what language teachers call a false friend. Schaufel is indeed "shovel", but Schäufele (probably cognate with scapula) is a Franconian traditional dish (with its own Wikipedia entry, I found later when I got back to somewhere that had internet) that turned out to be slow-roasted shoulderblade of pig.
Now, I'd better immediately provide a usage note for Germans concerning that last word. It is almost never correct to use the word pig in a food description in English, unless perhaps the dish is Roast Suckling Pig. (There may be a few other exceptions, like pigs' cheeks or pigs' feet, but such cheap cuts rarely figure on restaurant menus.) The animal is the pig, but the meat is pork. Nine hundred years ago, Anglo-Saxons tended the animals out in the farmyard and called them pigge while their Norman French overlords indoors ate the cooked meat and called it porc. The class distinctions of England are built right into the simplest nouns in the language.
A German friend and I saw rural pig as the translation of Landschwein on a menu at another restaurant a couple of days ago. I'm not sure exactly which breed of pig a Landschwein is, but there's another tricky problem about trying to use rural to translate German Land: rural pig is wrong because you don't use pig in menu talk, but rural pork would also be wrong because the geographical term rural is not an appropriate modifier for a meat type. We are not sure what the right translation would have been.
One other thing, a comment on how difficult it is to be on the ball all the time with the 7,000 or so languages this planet has to offer and their burgeoning lexical inventories. I am travelling with a respectable 555-page German/English dictionary, and have consulted it half a dozen times when I really needed the meaning of some word. The success rate has been not just low but zero percent. Not a single word I have needed to look up during my present trip has been in that dictionary (Schäufele was only one example).
OK, given all the linguistic content in this post (the obviously interesting mistranslation, the useful public information for Germans about the pig/pork contrast, and the bit about the problem with dictionaries) it is clear that the cost of my Frankische Schäufele should be regarded as a Language Log research expense. I will submit the receipt to the travel expenses division of the accounting department at Language Log Plaza, confident that they will reimburse me. I'll include the beer as well, I think. Wiedersehen.]]>

Mouseover title: "These pranks happen all the time. English doesn't allow one-syllable words to end in a lax vowel, so writers on The Simpsons decided to mess with future linguists by introducing the word 'meh.'"
For the truth about meh, see "Three scenes in the life of 'meh'", 2/26/2012. Of course there are other and older exceptions to English final-vowel phonotactics, including duh, which J.E. Lighter's Historical Dictionary of American Slang traces back to a 1943 Merrie Melodies cartoon.
The scholarly literature on "intervocalic fortition" specifically is slim, so far. But there's a distinguished tradition of research on the broader topic of phonological changes that might look like linguistic pranks , starting with Emmon Bach and Robert Harms, "How do languages get crazy rules", Linguistic change and generative theory 1972; and continuing with Staffan Hellberg, "Unnatural Phonology", Journal of Linguistics 1978; Stephen Anderson, "Why phonology isn't 'natural'", Linguistic Inquiry 1981; and so on.
Yesterday's xkcd strip also centers on a linguistic prank, though at a different level of linguistic analysis:
