News Prime minister rejects former foreign minister's stance on arms for Ukraine
Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka has rejected a stance being taken by Karel Schwarzenberg, the country's former foreign minister and head of the opposition party TOP 09, that the Czech Republic should provide arms supplies to Ukraine. The former minister told the German daily Rheinische Post, in an interview published on Wednesday, that Ukraine needed weapons or that it "had no chance in the fight against well-equipped and trained Russian units". Prime Minister Sobotka stated that the government had no intention of supplying weapons to Ukraine, saying such a move would be perceived as escalating the situation. He also said that the truce between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels had largely held. Deputy Prime Minister Pavel Bělobrádek, the head of the Christian Democrats, has taken a similar view.

Czech Republic wins clearance for key transport project to go ahead
The Czech Republic has won clearance from the European Commission to proceed with 10 large transport and infrastructure projects without the need to launch new Environment Impact Assessments (EIAs). Brussels has had problems with the fact that dozens of Czech projects were given approval under old assessments that in some cases pre-date the country's accession to the European Union in 2004. The news was given by prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka, currently in Brussels for a European Summit. Some of the key projects have a European as well as Czech dimension.
Czech president says current EU leadership is abject
Czech president Miloš Zeman has one of the main factors for the British referendum decision to leave the EU was its poor leadership. He added that compared with giants of the past, like Jacques Delors and Jean Monnet, the current leadership are in the second league. The Czech head of state added that the British exit is a loss for the country and the remaining 27 states. He added that he expected Scotland will break away from the rest of Britain and re-join the EU within five years.
Trial of underpants art activists starts in Prague
The trial has started of three art activists from the Ztohoven group who last year made headlines when they erected a giant pair of red underpants on Prague castle in protest at the policies of president Miloš Zeman. They could face jail sentences of up to three years on charges of theft and damage to property. One of the defendants challenged the ability of the lead judge to try the case, pointing out judges are appointed by the head of state. He also contested the 100,000 crown bill that has been estimate by presidential authorities for damage done during the stunt.
Lower house pushes ahead with changes to party financing rules
Lawmakers in the lower house have voted new rules for financing political parties that look like setting a 3.0 million crown a year ceiling for donations by companies and individuals. The proposed new rules look likely to increase the payments made for votes gained in local, regional, and parliament elections. The bill would also seek to create a new agency for overseeing election spending which now looks like it will be based in Brno rather than Prague.
Europe must intensify cooperation in response to terrorism, says Czech PM after Turkey attacks
Tuesday's terrorist attack in Turkey is a fresh reminder of the dangers of terrorism, which cannot be underestimated or forgotten about in the shadow of debates surrounding Brexit, says the Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka. Speaking in Brussels where he is attending EU meetings focused on the UK's decision to quit the bloc, Mr. Sobotka said the European Union needed to intensify cooperation among member states in the battle against terrorism. A suicide and gun attack on Istanbul's airport left at least 36 dead and more than 140 injured.
New bill means large retail outlets must close on state holidays
Large retail outlets in the Czech Republic will have to close on seven state holidays every year after the Chamber of Deputies approved a Senate bill implementing the change. The lower house was voting for the second time on the matter; it had originally voted that big shops be closed only on three state holidays but the Senate insisted that it reconsider its original wording. It must now be signed by the president. The ban – which applies to stores with floor space of 200 m2 or more – has been condemned by the Chamber of Commerce and was rejected by the right-wing parties in the lower house.
Sobotka: No need to accelerate euro adoption over Brexit vote outcome
The Czech Republic does not need to accelerate adoption of the euro because of the UK's decision last week to quit the European Union, prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka said in Brussels on Tuesday. Older EU members have been pushing for increased integration in a 27-member bloc, including closer ties within a currency union. Mr. Sobotka told journalists that nobody would be pressured into anything, adding that it was in Czech interests for contact to be maintained between eurozone states and those that have not adopted the common European currency.
V4 states say EU must emerge stronger from challenges posed by Brexit
The Visegrad Four states issued a joint statement in Brussels on Tuesday expressing deep regret for the UK's decision to leave the European Union and saying that the EU must emerge stronger from the challenges that poses. The Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary said talks on a way forward should focus on protecting the bloc's interests. They also outlined a need to renew credibility in an EU that better reflects the concerns of citizens.
Court ruling allows homosexuals to adopt
Homosexuals in registered partnerships in the Czech Republic have the right to adopt children, according to a ruling issued on Tuesday by the Constitutional Court. The court's justices overturned a provision in the law on registered partnerships barring such adoptions, which they said was discriminatory. The Civic Code only allows married couples to conduct joint adoptions, so only one member of a pair in a registered partnership will be the adoptive parent under the new ruling unless the legislation is changed. There are around 1,800 registered partnerships in the Czech Republic.
Segway operators may sue if Prague centre ban goes ahead
Segway operators in Prague are considering legal action if the city's authorities go ahead with a planned ban on the two-wheeled electric vehicles. A spokesperson for the Segway Association of the Czech Republic, which comprises 25 operators, said it would sue the city for losses incurred. From mid-August Segways should be barred from city centre pavements, cycle paths and pedestrian zones, where they have become a familiar sight in recent years.

Site MAH04: Indian Draft - Jackson River Float Trip
Elevation: 1341 ft. The rapids at Indian Draft, although not large enough to cause any real danger, add a little excitement to the float down from Gathright Dam. Travelers pass through a corridor flanked by sycamores on both sides and a ceiling of clear blue sky. Moving down the river provides a continual change in landscape and wildlife. Each turn provides the observer with a surprise–maybe a white-tailed doe and her spotted fawn or perhaps a family of wood ducks with their fluffy young. On closer inspection, the banks hold numerous varieties of wildflower, including orange and yellow jewelweeds, black-eyed Susan, Asian dayflower and many more.
From Smith Bridge, return west on North Smith Bridge Road to Rt. 687. Turn left and follow Rt. 687 south for 1.2 miles to Indian Draft on the left.

Until reading the headline on Fox News, the Christie bridge scandal wasn't taking hold. A Democrat mayor on the other side of the bridge would not endorse Christie, and so the governor clogged the bridge to Fort Lee. That caused congestion, economic and safety problems, all because Christie and his crowd wanted to take revenge.
Silliness, but with real consequences, Christie made a visible mistake. He exposed his cantankerous bully personality.
Christie's future as a presidential candidate truly wasn't going to make it. But, the bridge fiasco popped up earlier than expected in the political cycle.
His circumstance just shows how far a big mouth slob can get in politics. Add some crack to the scene and New Jersey looks like Toronto.
Jersey is a nice state, and here is hoping that he keeps it that way.
I'm from Jersey, you from Jersey?
Bridge revenge scandal could take toll
NEW JERSEY GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE faces what may be the biggest test of his political career after emails indicate a top aide was involved in George Washington Bridge lane closures that snarled traffic in Fort Lee after city's mayor refused to support his re-election bid."

Great lightweight texture
By Becky
from WI
About Me Minimalist
Comments about Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment 2% BHA - 3 oz:
I had been using the 2% BHA liquid 2x daily with super results, but that one has a somewhat tacky texture that doesn't work too well if you want to apply makeup right away on top. I heard a tip that this product was a good alternative. So far I have been very pleased. it seems to be equally effective, but has a lighter texture that dries nicely with no tackiness. I now use the Resist one in the morning and the regular 2% liquid at night.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's been a year that I'm using this product. It's amazing. It cleared all my clogged pores(small bumps with oil in it). It takes time though. It took me couple of months to clear the junk from my skin. You must have patiance,lol but it works!Before & after pictures are the result of using purely this product :)

I just want it to work sooo badd
By L
from Bellingham, Wa
I really wanted this product to work. I loved that it helped with both acne/blackheads and antiaging. I'll note that I have pale sensitive acne prone skin and am extremely careful when it comes to what goes on my skin.I applied this product daily in the mornings after washing my face and applying a toner. My dermatologist has told me that it takes about a month or so for the skin to really show change from the effects of a new product. I used this until the bottle ran out (which was yesterday) and it lasted me several months in hope that this change (even if it was ever so slight) would come. I don't know, maybe I didn't soak my cotton round enough but I really never noticed much difference. I liked the combination of ingredients other than salicylic acid yet it just didn't do the trick for my skin. :(
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Must have product for pore care
By Jen
from Canada
Started using this about two weeks ago, in sample packets and just received the full bottle I ordered a couple of days ago. The difference in such a sort period of time is simply amazing.This product is so lightweight and dries so quickly, I can't tell I have put anything on, I don't find it moisturizing nor do I find it drying as it just disappears making it so easy to add to your routine.My pores have shrunk incredibly and almost completely disappeared in some parts, also I have dehydrated oily skin and the pores that were largest on my cheeks seemed to have fine lines extending from them and they are now gone.I felt it was wasteful to use a cotton ball/pad to apply this so I just pour a little in to the palm of my hand, use my other hand to dip into it and dab it on to places where the pores are of most concern after that there is less product in my palm and I can put my hands together without spilling or dripping and pat/lightly rub the rest into my face/neck/chest and by time I am done and open my antioxidant (my next step) it is completely dry and ready to move on, so quick and easy. For someone who has lived with large pores her whole life and thought that was just the way it was I have to say this is nothing short of a miracle treatment for my skin and I love the liquid and hope it never changes!

forever changed my skin!
By h
from Loganville, ga
I've taken care of my skin pretty decently since I was 17 (I'm now 24) so when I try out new products I don't really notice a difference because I don't have too many problems to correct so there is nothing for the product to do.I have had large pores on and around my nose and cheeks most of my life and just thought that's how my skin looked and I was stuck with those large unsightly pores until I got this product! It took a few weeks to notice a difference but I literally woke up one morning and my skin was smooth especially in this trouble areas. Now, a few months later and on my second bottle I can't see those pores anymore. Who knew they were just clogged!This is a liquid so you put it on a cotton swab and rub it all over your face. After a week of using it I wasn't seeing results (I'm impatient haha) so I squeezed out the access liquid from the cotton swab onto my problem areas and let it soak in. This helps a lot especially for those black head on the nose!

Absolutely amazing!
By Kira
from Oregon
I have struggled with acne since I was a teenager. I'm now in my 30's and over the past few years I have really struggled with hormonal acne along my jawline and cheeks. Also my skin has been red and irritated with large pores and black heads. After using many other brands over the years, I'm so happy to have found out about Paula's choice. The products have truly changed my skin for the better, after only 3 months. I started with the skin balancing toner and the Resist BHA are amazing together! I believe this BHA product has drastically improved my skin. I use it once a day at night after toning, followed by moisturizer and Benzoyl peroxide. My skin is totally clear, my pores are smaller, and I have no more black heads. These are all things I have struggled with for years. The Resist BHA is lightweight, and your face feels amazing after using it. Thank you Paula's choice for changing my skin and life for the better. I will use your products for life!

Best liquid BHA Paula's Choice offers! I've tried all.
By Stephen
from Little Rock, AR
This product is PERFECT. Truly a 5 star product. Unfortunately I didn't do my research and ordered my first product from Paula's Choice, the 2% BHA gel. It has an incredibly slippery feel and dries to a shiny tackiness that I am not fond of, especially because I like to follow my exfoliator with a moisturizer. The finish of the gel makes me feel like I am spreading the product around along with my moisturizer. I want the exfoliator to sink into skin and be COMPLETELY, 100% undetectable when it dries: and that's exactly what this product does.I called PC and told them I wasn't crazy about the Skin Perfecting gel so they sent me samples of this product and the Skin Perfecting 2% liquid. Surprisingly, this product is WAY less lightweight than the liquid. I thought this product, appearing as more of a treatment, would've had more of a detectable finish. NOPE; complete opposite. If you're looking for something 100% lightweight, almost like alcohol, this is your product. I promise! It's so light that it feels like alcohol. I LOVE IT!

Never giving this product up!
By Levy
from Brooklyn, New York
About Me Beauty Expert
I use this product twice a day. I must admit, I didn't see results right away; however, in about a few months I saw great results. As an African American woman, who had been battling acne for over 12 years, I never thought I would find a product that worked. Its safe to say that my acne is gone. I no longer worry about waking up and finding a pimple on my face. After, my breakouts stopped, I had dark spots to worry about; however, it soon faded as well. I'm currently left with clear skin. The only concern I have now is acne scarring, which I'm sure will clear up in no time, thanks to Paula's Choice. I am so happy and satisfied with this product. I am also pleased with the information this website provides. Thank you so much for all who made this happen.

Absolutely Amazing!!!
By Amanda
from Washington
Acne hurts. It's embarrassing. And many products have left me frustrated and hopeless. My dermatologist prescribed Spironolactone which cleared up about 75% of the acne on my cheeks. However, breakouts on my chin and occasionally on my cheeks were still a daily occurrence which left behind red hyperpigmentation. I honestly cannot express how grateful I am for this product! I rarely experience breakouts (one or two tiny blemishes a week) and my skin is healing amazingly well. I use this morning and night after cleansing and toning and also use Paula's Choice Resist toner and moisturizer. Once the remaining post-acne marks heal, I genuinely look forward to being able to leave the house without a face full of foundation in order to feel somewhat normal. Yay!!

By Gillian
from Evanston, IL
I love this product. Before finding PC, I suffered from both cystic and surface acne (surface acne not terrible but recurred once every month, cystic acne every 1-2 months but had painful cysts that would not go away for 2 weeks at a time). I'm pretty sure that this product in combination with the 4% foam treatment are largely responsible for the complete turnaround of my skin situation. I have not had a significant blemish in 3 months (have been using this for 4 months). It's just a great product that does not dry my skin out at all, but you know that you're cleaning the insides of your pores every time you use it. I use this in the morning and use the AHA at night.
(7 of 8 customers found this review helpful)
By Amy
I was SOOO hesitant to buy another product that would reduce my hormonal acne. I spent so much money on so many products in the past three years that I was exhausted. I came across this after watching a review, and then I did a ton of research. Being a student, I can't afford to spend any more on wasteful acne products. Someone with such problematic skin, this is THE product to purchase. Even though my acne is linked to my hormones, this exfoliate helps reduces inflammation and actually brings my cystic acne to the surface. Not only that, but it helped even out my skin tone and ph balance. My foundation no longer looks grey. When I apply my face oil after using this it literally glides on my skin like butter. Never had that happen to me before. It also has made my pores smaller, slightly removes my blackheads but I never really had a problem with pores or blackheads. The only con is that its expensive for Canadians. I wish it was cheaper. But other than that this product is the BOMB. Will continue to purchase it!
Nice product, but funny smell
By Maryam S
from Chicago,IL
Working an exfoliant into my routine, I chose this BHA because I wanted to refine my pores a bit. The application with cotton seemed wasteful, so I just put a dime size in my palm and tap into my skin like an essence. I wish this had a pump or some other means of dispensing.The smell has been the butt of jokes from my husband. Unless I layer a slightly scented serum/cream over this product, my face smells like onions. That said, my pores seem clearer but are more noticeable—probably a result of being all cleaned out. I may switch to AHA instead.

Steal the pump from the gel dispenser...
By Statlefox
from Austin, TX
I'm 40, and I use this product twice daily mixed in with my moisturizer (Boots No 7 for oily skin) I used to use the BHA 2% gel, which I loved because it kept my skin clear and dispensed easily. I tried this liquid because of the anti-aging properties. I wasn't thrilled with the delivery - using cotton pads felt wasteful, especially after I'd gotten so much use out of the gel. This is about the point when I noticed that the pump from the gel fit this bottle perfectly. I just get a dollop of moisturizer in my palm, dispense the liquid with the pump on top of that, rub together and smear on my face. The gel was neater, but this has been a pretty workable solution. Good news: I haven't had a pimple in forever. Even with the gel I was getting them once a month. And my skin does look and feel soft. Meh news: After 3-4 months of use, I've seen no appreciable difference in age spots or general youthiness. I'd recommend this product, but with caveats.

Great for pimples, not so much for oil
By Jo
from North Carolina
This product is great for treating/preventing breakouts. Since I started using it, I breakout fair less frequently. I even stopped getting my worst breakouts before my monthly period. The only disappointing thing about this product is that my skin seems to have gotten more oily with the product.

Three cheers
By Mitzi
from NY
I used this for quite a while before switching to Resist Daily Smoothing Treatment 5% AHA. While I prefer that, I really had no complaints with the pore-refining 2% BHA. The 5% AHA is a lotion that you put on directly with my hands, and the 2% BHA is a liquid that I imagine most people would shake on to a cotton pad. The 5% AHA absorbs a little better and is perhaps slightly less drying, but what it comes down to is that AHA is more effective for my skin specifically and that I always feel that pad application is wasteful because of how much disappears into the cotton. Heaven forbid PC ever discontinues the AHA exfoliant I'm using now; but if they'd did, I'd happily go back to this.

Miracle in a bottle!
By Acne Free
from Toronto, Canada
I was not expecting this to work like a miracle for me. I have had acne since I was 14, to the point where my dermatologist prescribed me Accutane at 16 (many years ago). I have been on tetracycline, benzyol peroxide (presciption strength), retinol (prescription strength) and birth control for years and years. I have tried salicylic acid in the past many times but after reading Paula's reviews I decided to give it another chance. I purchased this plus the 4% foam combo. In the first week, I broke out very bad. I thought it could be the effect of unblocking the pores so I continued to use the toner every night after cleansing and the foam about 1 time or 2 per week. Let me tell you that now after 2 months my skin is clear like never before and I even stopped the BC pill with no breakout! All I need is this exfoliant and my skin also feels very smooth. If you have acne, seriously try this for at least 1 month. I may be your miralce too. Thank you Paula!

My skin is just not happy with this formulation.
By Mom of Twins
from Jacksonville, FL
I have used one or the other version of Paula's BHA products for years. For the last couple of years, I have found that the 2% BHA gel works best for me in the summer while I switch to the 2% BHA lotion in the winter when my skin gets drier. I am actually quite oily, however, but I have to be careful not to overdo it either or I can become easily irritated. My biggest complaint regarding my skin is battling sebaceous hyperplasia. While the BHA doens't get rid of the lesions, it does prevent them from getting worse. The 4% BHA foam works wonders on my sebaceous hyperplaia lesions, but I can't use it due to an annoying allergic reaction. I have tried the 9% BHA spot treatment, but it doesn't really seem to do anything. I thought I"d give the Resist 2% BHA a try to see how it mangaed the lesions, but I am finding that it irritates my skin. My skin is red and irritated especially around my eyes. I guess I'll go back to my 2% BHA gel/lotion combo.

My favorite PC BHA Product!
By Sarah
from Katy, Texas
I started using PC products a number of years ago. I started with the 2% liquid BHA and then tried the 2% gel...The liquid worked better with my skin. it felt like the gel took forever to absorb into my skin. But I have to say... I like the Resist BHA one so much better than the other ones. I like to use the BHA in the morning. With the other ones, I would have to apply it right after the shower and do everything in my morning routine to give the BHAs time to "dry" before my Resist Ultra-light antioxidant serum and my Resist Ultra-Light SPF. But the Resist BHA absorbs within a minute! It also works just as well or better compared to the other BHA products. I feel like I have less dryness and irritation with the Resist BHA. So if you have sensitive skin, I highly recommend this BHA.
Mostly Helpful
By SkyFerret
from Tallahassee, FL
This product isn't perfect, but it has noticeably helped my long-term problem skin. My pore appear to have stopped expanding, and my skin is definitely both looking and feeling smoother. I've also noticed my skin-tone beginning to even out as I am having fewer breakouts that clear-up faster.Unfortunately, it's not really doing anything to shrink my pores or to clear up the black-heads on my nose and chin.I will be continuing to use this product, as it does help and does not irritate my sensitive skin. But would love to find something I could add to my routine to help with those black-heads.

2% BHA liquid user reviews a sample of Resist 2% BHA and 2%
By PC liker
from St. Louis, MO
I've been using PC 2% BHA liquid for the past couple months and have been very happy with it, except for sticky feeling right after use which goes away within 5-10 minutes. I ordered samples of the 2% BHA gel and Resist 2% BHA Liquid, and I have to say I like the gel and Resist formulas better. But, looking at the ingredient list of the Resist vs. regular BHA liquid - wow! What a difference! The resist formula has A LOT more ingredients. So, hmm... Should I stick with more simple 2% formula or swap things up with my next purchase (and I will repurchase something as PC BHA is wonderful - wish I had of discovered it at 20, and not 42 - hoping it will help my daughter when she's older if she inherited my skin!). First world problems...

my favorite BHA
By OilyAndy
from WA
I wish I had tried this first instead of the anti-redness bha. Although they have mostly the same ingredients, this seems to be much more effective at minimizing pores, controlling oil, and fighting signs of aging. I received this as a small sample, so have not used it long term, but it worked much better than the current BHA I am using now. Once that is finished I will be sure to order this as my replacement. It also worked well for me to reduce lines and dark circles under my eyes. I really love it!

Very good
By Cristina
from Romania
This one is a regular for one month and I already noticed my skin looks more even, healthier and my brown spots diminished. I applied it every 2 nights, at bedtime, it absorbs quickly and my skin isn't itching (just a little, around my nose). Unfortunately, I can't say my enlarged pores look better, but I'm very satisfied about the results on my dark spots.

Non irritating and non greasy
By Lily
from Ottawa
I really loved this product. It is non-irritating and it is effective: fewer blackheads, smaller pores and no oily residue or sticky felling on the skin. I prefer this rather than the 2% BHA Liquid (which leaves sticky and shiny skin).

What makes this product unique?This daily-use liquid exfoliant is ideal for those struggling with wrinkles and breakouts. It dramatically improves skin's texture by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as unclogging and minimizing pores. Star ingredients such as salicylic acid and antioxidants deliver effective pore-penetrating exfoliation while stimulating the production of skin-firming collagen, so you'll see fewer breakouts and wrinkles. The unique light-as-water liquid feels completely weightless, yet is specially formulated to be non-drying. Anti-irritants and skin-repairing ingredients work together to calm redness as they soothe and refine skin. Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment 2% BHA has a pH range of 3.5-4.0.
Who is this product for?This product is ideal for those concerned with wrinkles and breakouts. Its weightless formula is especially suited for individuals with oily or combination skin, enlarged pores, stubborn blackheads, or breakouts who also want to have younger-looking skin.
NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

The above event was held in Marriott Chicago Midway Hotel on South Cicero Avenue. It is one of the myriad events that CUFI (Christians United for Israel) sponsors and organizes across the US. Pastor Michael Stevens, CUFI African-American Outreach Coordinator, was the guest speaker. Some of the Chicago people that helped organize the event were Pastor Corey Person of Jesse's House of Global Prayer School & Ministry, Arrerk Stewart - Deacon/Prophet of Jesse's House of Global Prayer School & Ministry, and Elder Rodnisha Anderson.
On top of the sumptuous Kosher lunch provided free to invited guests including this writer, two books were given away as gifts. In Defense of Israel by best-selling author John Hagee, and Standing With Israel by David Brog. These books eloquently articulate "a passionate and personal testament to the ever-growing support and affection that many Christians have for the State of Israel", according to His Excellency Daniel Ayalon, Ambassador of Israel to the United States. The books brilliantly capture the spirit of brotherhood between the Jewish people and American Christians.
What is Christians United for Israel? From a brochure provided at the gathering::
"Christians United For Israel (CUFI) is a national association of pro-Israel churches, para-Church organizations, ministries and individuals across America who have chosen to speak and act with one voice in support of Israel in matters related to Biblical issues."
Here's an appeal that Pastor Stevens expressed in his message:
CUFI has grown so large so quickly because of people like you - our committed CUFI members. Your devotion and generosity are the bedrock upon which our influence has been built. Become a Congregational Representative. While your personal support is essential, we know that for every pro-Israel church that is actively participating in CUFI, we know that there are many more which are not. If you want to see your church do more for Israel through CUFI, then you can make it happen. We ask you to prayerfully consider applying to become a CUFI Congregational representative.

Samsung Galaxy S III Mini launched in Europe, prices start at €345
Announced last month as a less-capable and cheaper version of the Galaxy S III flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is now available in some European markets.
In the UK, Three has become the first network to sell the S III Mini on contract. According to Three, the handset is offered for free on plans starting at £28 per month, or for "£269.99 plus a top up" on PAYG.
If you want to buy the new smartphone SIM-free, there are several British retailers that let you do just that (including Expansys and Carphone Warehouse), all asking around £300 for it.
In France, Amazon is selling the S III Mini for as low as €369.
In Germany, Amazons asks just €345 for the blue version of the S III Mini 8GB (although Samsung Germany previously said that the recommended retail price for the handset was €439).
Before buying the S III Mini, keep in mind that an unlocked Galaxy S II i9100 costs around €340, while offering better specs. Sure, the S III Mini runs Android Jelly Bean out of the box, but the S II will be updated to JB pretty soon anyway.

The Ontario Minister of Consumer Services introduced the Wireless Services Agreements Act, 2012 on May 3, 2012.
The Bill only applies to agreements with consumers. Consumers are those acting for personal, family or household purposes. Accordingly, the Act will not apply to those who are self-employed and purchase smart phones for business use. The proposed legislation will only apply prospectively to agreements entered into after the date the legislation comes into force where either the consumer or the person entering into the agreement with the consumer is located in Ontario.
Here are some of the highlights:
- The legislation will apply to wireless agreements, which are agreements with a consumer in which the supplier agrees to provide wireless services that the consumer is able to access from a mobile device such as a smart phone or cell phone.
- The legislation will apply even if the supplier does not sell the consumer the mobile device.
- Advertising must show all-inclusive costs, which must be the most prominent cost information in the advertising.
- Wireless services agreement must meet the prescribed disclosure obligations or they will not be enforceable. Among the disclosure obligations are:
- Minimum cost obligations described on a periodic basis (e.g. monthly);
- Maximum usage of each service before the consumer will trigger additional costs not included in the minimum cost obligations; and
- Cost of optional services and any restrictions that will cause those costs to increase.
- Suppliers of wireless services must provide advance notice to the consumer if the consumer accesses a service that will result in additional costs.
- Consumers may cancel an agreement at any time for any reason.
- There are limits on cancellation fees based on prorating the economic inducements (such as discounted handsets) over the term of the contract or, for agreements of no fixed term, 48 months.

Suppose, that $f$ is bounded measurable function, $T_h(f)(x) = f(x+h)$ is the shift operator. How to prove, that if the whole orbit $T_h(f):\, h\in\mathbb{R}$ has a dense, countable subset $T_{n_k}(f)$ (in $L^{+\infty}$ norm) then $f=g$ almost everywhere, where $g$ is continuous?
I ask for hints or ideas only :-)
I tried use something like modulus of continuity:
$\omega(f,\delta)=\mathrm{esssup}_{|x-y|<\delta} |f(x)-f(y)|$ and show that function $f$ must be uniformly continuous in the set of full measure, next extend from the dense set to entire $\mathbb{R}$. I didn't see, however, how to use separability...

Comments about Women's Horizon Roll-Up Pants:
found the first two I bought in my regular size tended to stretch after wearing so I was constantly pulling them up. Liked the pants so bought two more in a size smaller - fit much better, but find that my black pair fit much more snuggly than the tan pair (same size). The material has give in it so am keeping both pairs
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Horizon Roll-Up Pants:
I just purchased these last night, so I haven't worn them anywhere yet. I bought them to go to Israel since they are very lightweight and will hand-wash and air dry easily. I bought the Dark Smoke Heather and they ran SMALL. Size 2 Eddie Bauer pants are usually very roomy on me and almost too big. The size 2 in this pant fit snugly and was almost skin tight in the upper leg. Sitting was uncomfortable so I switched to a size 4. Those were roomy and fit me like a usual EB size 2. (I am 5'8, 125 lbs.)
I am excited about the side zippered pocket because it will be perfect for carrying my passport. The 2 back pockets are zippered too, but will likely only hold thin flat things like a little cash.
They roll up, which is nice and are just long enough unrolled to not be too short.
I got them on sale, so the sale price was near the price I have paid for similar brand name pants.
Can't wait to see how they perform "in the field".
Comments about Women's Horizon Roll-Up Pants:
These pants are great. I bought them to replace a pair that I got too small for after losing a ton of weight. They look dressy enough that I can wear them to work. The size chart was not accurate to my measurements, but my return was handled promptly and courteously.
Best Uses
Comments about Women's Horizon Roll-Up Pants:
I ordered two pairs of this pant in the same size, one khaki and one smoke. They arrived; I tried on the khaki - a perfect fit! Took the tags off, packed them in my suitcase and went traveling. When I put on the smoke colored pants, they didn't fit at all. They felt like they were two sizes smaller than the khaki pair. Some of the details were different as well. It was too bad because I really like the pants that fit - cool, lightweight fabric, dries fast, great for hiking in the heat.

Top NBA star is a big Ric Flair fan
Dec 28, 2012 - by Steve Gerweck
NBA star Lebron James is quoted in the Sun Sentinel about his admiration for Ric Flair:
"I mean, when I was a kid, I loved wrestling. He was one of the guys I loved, too. I think he's probably one of the creators of what we call swag these days, with the Rolexes and the stretch limos, and all the girls and all that stuff. He's like the creator of swag, Ric Flair definitely kept me watching TV."

Even when speaking with fellow English speakers, sometimes you realize that the same thing can be called a variety of names. (Try calling soda "pop" in most of the US and enjoy the funny looks you get.) The same is true in Japan, where, thanks to regional dialects, some people have a hard time being understood when they leave their hometowns.
One Twitter user recently brought regional dialect differences to the forefront of the Internet when he surveyed over a thousand people about the word they would use to describe a certain way of sitting. Collecting and plotting the data on a map of Japan, the results have been surprising people from all regions!

Early Childhood Australia's Code of Ethics
A code of ethics is a set of statements about appropriate and expected behaviour of members of a professional group and, as such, reflects its values.
The Early Childhood Australia (ECA) Code of Ethics was first developed in 1990 by a national working party, with considerable input from the early childhood field. The 2003–2006 Code of Ethics Agenda resulted in a new Code of Ethics, which was endorsed at Early Childhood Australia's National Council meeting in September 2006 (currently valid). The Code of Ethics is owned by the field, rather than imposed upon it.
ECA Code of Ethics review
The second consultation survey for the Code of Ethics review has now closed. Thank you to all who participated in the first and second surveys. A draft of the new Code of Ethics is available to download here.
The Code of Ethics was first developed in 1990 by a national working party. It was reviewed between 2003–2006 in consultation with the early childhood sector. The current Code of Ethics was launched in September 2006, at which point ECA committed to regularly review the Code.
An aspirational document for the early childhood education and care sector, the Code of Ethics sets out core values, and guides early childhood professionals in their day-to-day decision making.
The aim of this review is to identify any updates required to ensure that the Code is meeting the needs of early childhood professionals now and into the future.
The consultation surveys conducted will be used to inform the review.

Code of Ethics publications
Working with young children inevitably involves being confronted with, and resolving, ethical dilemmas. Early Childhood Australia has published a number of books to support early childhood professionals to work with and use the Code of Ethics in their everyday practice.
The Code of Ethics
- In relation to children
- In relation to families
- In relation to colleagues
- In relation to communities
- In relation to students
- In relation to my employer
- In relation to myself as a professional
- In relation to the conduct of research
Wise moral decisions will always acknowledge our interdependency; our moral choices are ours alone, but they bind us all to those who will be affected by them. So deciding for yourself what's right or wrong does not mean deciding in isolation' (Mackay, 2004, p. 242).
This Code of Ethics provides a framework for reflection about the ethical responsibilities of early childhood professionals. Following a national process of consultation, principles emerged which are indicative of the values we share as early childhood professionals in Australia. The Code is intended for use by all early childhood professionals who work with or on behalf of children and families in early childhood settings.
In developing this second edition of Early Childhood Australia's Code of Ethics, the national working party was mindful of changes in the knowledge base of early childhood that have occurred over the last decade. New research has allowed significant changes in understandings to emerge that reposition children as citizens with entitlements and rights. Increasingly, children are seen as competent and capable and able to participate in the negotiation of their learning and social experiences. Additionally, societal and environmental changes at the local, national and global levels impact on children and families with consequent implications for our work. In recognition of the impact of globalisation and global sustainability, this revised Code identifies ethical responsibilities to work with children and families in order to address global issues locally.
Just as the world has changed for children and families, so it has changed for professionals who work with them. The notion of lifelong learning, reflective practice, researching with children, new methods of documenting and assessing children's learning, and collaborating across traditional service and discipline boundaries are examples of contemporary requirements for early childhood professionals.
Inherent in this Code is the understanding that children learn within their family and community groups, bringing rich knowledge, a diversity of experiences and identities to their learning. Sociocultural theories have moved our focus beyond individual children's development to highlight the importance of social contexts to children's learning and development. As children participate and learn in their communities, they in turn influence those communities. Early childhood communities ought to be spaces and places where practices such as responsive listening and dialogue can build connections and relationships which sustain and advance individual and collective wellbeing.
Early childhood professionals have a strong history of advocating on behalf of children and their families. This revised Code builds on this tradition by making explicit the ethical responsibility to take action in the face of injustice and when unethical practice occurs.
This Code is not intended to, and could not possibly provide easy answers, formulae, or prescriptive solutions for the complex issues early childhood professionals face in their work. As an aspirational document, it does provide a basis for critical reflection, a guide for professional behaviour, and principles to inform individual and collective decision-making.
The following values and processes are considered central to the Code of Ethics:
- respect
- democracy
- honesty
- integrity
- justice
- courage
- inclusivity
- social and cultural responsiveness
- education.
In this Code of Ethics, for the purposes of this document, these terms are given the following meanings:
Children—People between the ages of birth and eight years.
Families—The people who have significant care responsibilities for and/or kinship relationships with the child.
Early Childhood Professional—A person who works with or on behalf of children and families in early childhood settings.
Communities—Groups of people who identify as having shared values and intentions. These groups are recognised as complex, being simultaneously connected by commonality and diversity.
Employer—An individual or organisation which employs early childhood professionals.
Student—A person undertaking study at a secondary or tertiary institution.
Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics
In this Code of Ethics the protection and wellbeing of children is paramount and therefore speaking out or taking action in the presence of unethical practice is an essential professional responsibility.
I. In relation to children, I will:
- Act in the best interests of all children.
- Respect the rights of children as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1991) and commit to advocating for these rights.
- Recognise children as active citizens participating in different communities such as family, children's services and schools.
- Work with children to help them understand that they are global citizens with shared responsibilities to the environment and humanity.
- Respect the special relationship between children and their families and incorporate this perspective in all my interactions with children.
- Create and maintain safe, healthy environments, spaces and places, which enhance children's learning, development, engagement, initiative, self-worth, dignity and show respect for their contributions.
- Work to ensure children and families with additional needs can exercise their rights.
- Acknowledge the uniqueness and potential of all children, in recognition that enjoying their childhood without undue pressure is important.
- Acknowledge the holistic nature of children's learning and the significance of children's cultural and linguistic identities.
- Work to ensure children are not discriminated against on the basis of gender, age, ability, economic status, family structure, lifestyle, ethnicity, religion, language, culture, or national origin.
- Acknowledge children as competent learners, and build active communities of engagement and inquiry.
- Honour children's right to play, as both a process and context for learning.
II. In relation to families, I will:
- Listen to and learn from families, in order to acknowledge and build upon their strengths and competencies, and support them in their role of nurturing children.
- Assist each family to develop a sense of belonging and inclusion.
- Develop positive relationships based on mutual trust and open communication.
- Develop partnerships with families and engage in shared decision making where appropriate.
- Acknowledge the rights of families to make decisions about their children.
- Respect the uniqueness of each family and strive to learn about their culture, structure, lifestyle, customs, language, beliefs and kinship systems.
- Develop shared planning, monitoring and assessment practices for children's learning and communicate this in ways that families understand.
- Acknowledge that each family is affected by the community contexts in which they engage.
- Be sensitive to the vulnerabilities of children and families and respond in ways that empower and maintain the dignity of all children and families.
- Maintain confidentiality and respect the right of the family to privacy.
III. In relation to colleagues, I will:
- Encourage my colleagues to adopt and act in accordance with this Code, and take action in the presence of unethical behaviours.
- Build collaborative relationships based on trust, respect and honesty.
- Acknowledge and support the personal strengths, professional experience and diversity which my colleagues bring to their work.
- Make every effort to use constructive methods to manage differences of opinion in the spirit of collegiality.
- Share and build knowledge, experiences and resources with my colleagues.
- Collaborate with my colleagues to generate a culture of continual reflection and renewal of high quality practices in early childhood.
IV. In relation to communities, I will:
- Learn about the communities that I work within and enact curriculum programs which are responsive to those contexts and community priorities.
- Connect with people, services and agencies within the communities that support children and families.

The Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics (2006) was developed by a national working party consisting of Lennie Barblett (Convenor), John Buckell, Sandra Cheeseman, Margaret Clyde, Lyn Fasoli, Catharine Hydon, Anne Kennedy, Elizabeth Dau, Linda Newman, Lois Pollnitz , Gillian Styles, Louise Thomas, Laura Eiszele and Christine Woodrow.
This working party acknowledges the work of the original Code of Ethics working party and thanks them for their outstanding contribution to the early childhood profession.
In 1988, ECA (then known as the Australian Early Childhood Association) established a working party to undertake ground breaking work to develop the first Code of Ethics for the Australian early childhood profession. Convened by Anne Stonehouse and supported by the NT Branch, the working party included Margaret Clyde, Barbara Creaser, Lyn Fasoli, Barbara Piscitelli and Christine Woodrow. The Code of Ethics was drafted using a highly consultative process, with workshops and seminars held throughout Australia, it was widely cited and used for 19 years.
The first review of the Code of Ethics began in 2003; it was undertaken by a Reference Group that included John Bucknell, Sandra Cheeseman, Margaret Clyde, Lyn Fasoli, Anne Kennedy, Elizabeth Dau, Lois Pollnitz, Linda Newman, Christine Woodrow, Gillian Styles, Laura Eiszele, Louise Thomas, Catherine Hydon, Jenny Humffray, Lennie Barblett, Carol Burgess and Linda Newman . The revised Code of Ethics was launched in 2007.
The second review of the Code of Ethics began in 2014, with Subcommittee appointed by the ECA Board – members included Stephanie Jackiewicz, Carol Burgess, Annette Barwick, Lennie Barblett, Catharine Hydon and Anne Kennedy. The revision has included extensive consultation with ECA members as well as input from experts in ethics and professional standards. The current version of the Code of Ethics was approved by the ECA Board in February 2016.
ECA is grateful to everyone who has contributed to the development and ongoing review of the Code of Ethics including those who have participated in consultation surveys, forums and workshops over the years as well as those who have provided advice and oversight.

Cutting defensive end Charles Grant didn't pack the same wallop as would have the signing of Julius Peppers. Subtracting linebacker Mark Simoneau wasn't quite the same as would have been announcing the addition of Karlos Dansby.
But then, the New Orleans Saints aren't in need of national-headline-grabbing acquisitions in free agency to get them over the hump. They already have jumped the hump, landed safely and have a Super Bowl crown to show for it.
Just a couple of strategic additions here and there, to fill the handful of gaps on the roster, will do nicely.
So parting ways with three veterans who combined to have a microscopic impact on the Super Bowl run - guard Jamar Nesbit was the other announced departure - was about as big a bang as could be expected of the Saints during the first day of free agency, especially given that their hands are tied by free-agency rules during the pending uncapped year.
Not one of the three released players was on the field during the playoffs. Simoneau was injured all season, Nesbit lost his starting job to Carl Nicks in 2008, and some would argue whether Grant actually was on the field even when he was on the field; he posted 44 tackles and 5 ½ sacks while starting all 16 regular-season games.
The truth is that from a name standpoint, the only free agents the Saints really have left to pursue are their own, free safety Darren Sharper and linebacker Scott Fujita. And if Fujita returns, he probably will be a player for whom the coaching staff will be looking to provide "competition," which is a nice way of saying the team wants to upgrade the position.
Otherwise, the Saints have tendered all the restricted free agents they want to keep, and they basically will have back Sharper unless a suitor offers Sharper a deal the Saints refuse to match, or Sharper takes offense at having to peddle his services around the league and wait for the Saints to decide if they want to match an offer.
If we safely can assume the latter won't be the case - Sharper is a veteran who has been through the free-agent process before, so he knows business doesn't mix well with emotions - then all the Saints have to concern themselves with is another team giving Sharper a $6.5 million-a-year deal. Because by not making him a franchise player, the Saints obviously have drawn their line, obviously have indicated they have no desire or intent to pay Sharper that kind of money.
And they're rolling the dice that no one else is willing to ante up that kind of cash, either.
That doesn't mean Sharper isn't more valuable to the Saints than he is to any other NFL team. It just means the Saints have assigned a value to him and they're going to stick to it, and we'll find out whether it was wise in a few weeks.
Meanwhile, we saw the impact Sharper made defensively last season, when he set the league's single-season record for interception return yards. More than a leader in the locker room, Sharper proved still to be a big-time playmaker for a Saints defense that needed the kind of swagger he injected.
Because - all due respect to defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, and keeping in mind what he added to the Saints from a strategic and mental standpoint - an aggressive mindset doesn't mean a lot if a player can't back it up on the field.
Grant couldn't, which is why he became free to sign with any NFL team Friday. And Simoneau and Nesbit no longer fit the Saints' plans, either, the former partly because he couldn't stay healthy and the latter because he just wasn't good enough anymore to get on the field in New Orleans.
Showing the three the door wasn't all that sexy or attention-grabbing on the first day of free agency. It wasn't the splash that would be made by a visit from Peppers or interest from Dansby, but the Saints no longer need splashy or sexy.
All they need are a few strategic additions - and subtractions - to stay on track. The first day of free agency was about the latter.

DeKALB, Ill. - Single game tickets for the Northern Illinois University Huskies' 2013 Homecoming football game versus Akron on Saturday, Oct. 12, are no longer available, NIU officials announced Wednesday. The only way to obtain a ticket to the game, which kicks off at 4 p.m. (CT) at Huskie Stadium, is by purchasing a season ticket. NIU (5-0, 1-0) is ranked No. 23 in the country in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches' Polls.
NIU has exhausted all available single game tickets for the second consecutive game. Fans filled Huskie Stadium for the Huskies' home opener versus Eastern Illinois on Sept. 21 in the school's first sell-out since 2003.
"We're very excited to see this type of overwhelming fan support for this very deserving team," said NIU Associate Vice-President and Director of Athletics Sean T. Frazier. "Our team has a 22-game winning streak at Huskie Stadium and an 18-game winning streak in the MAC, and now our fans are starting a streak of their own with back-to-back sell-outs. Now that the tickets are sold, we need all of our fans, including the students, in the stadium at kickoff. Be loud, especially when NIU is on defense, and be there for all four quarters. I'm looking forward to a great Homecoming atmosphere in the stadium on Saturday."
A limited number of season tickets, which provide a ticket to all four of the Huskies' remaining 2013 home games, are still on sale by calling 815-753-PACK (7225) and are the best way to guarantee seats, in the best locations, for the rest of the home schedule. Season tickets, available for $100 for the general public and $88 for senior citizens, NIU Alumni Association members, NIU faculty and staff and NIU varsity club members, still provide a price break from the $30 single game ticket price. To order season tickets for, call 815-753-PACK (7225).
NIU students are reminded to get into the East Side stands early on Saturday as seating is available on a first come, first served basis. Students are admitted on the East Side with a valid OneCard, which also admits students to park free on the East Side of the stadium as space allows.
All fans, especially those who will be picking up tickets from the Will Call Windows on the West Side, are reminded to leave extra time to ensure you are in your seats prior to kickoff. Will Call Windows will open at Huskie Stadium at 12:30 p.m.
Huskie Stadium gates on both the East and West sides will open at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, while tailgating lots open at 10:30 a.m. At 11 a.m., NIU will dedicate a plaque for the Huskies' 1963 College Division National Championship team at the flagpole outside the Southwest Corner of Huskie Stadium and all fans are invited to attend.
NIU is also offering fans a chance to enjoy pregame concerts and purchase food and drink in the tent located on the West Side of Huskie Stadium this year. Open to all Huskie fans, the tent opens four hours prior to kickoff with music from "Sunfallen" beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday. Entrance is free with your Huskie football game ticket (or valid OneCard) and $5 for others. In addition to the live bands, the Huskie Marching Band and Silverettes will parade past the tents to fire up the crowd with the Huskie Fight Song and NIU mascot Victor E. Huskie, as well as the ever-popular husky Diesel, will stop by.
Single game tickets for NIU's three remaining home games versus Eastern Michigan (Oct. 26), Ball State (Nov. 13) and Western Michigan (Nov. 26) are on sale now. For the best seat selection, order your tickets early at 815-753-PACK (7225), or 24 hours a day, seven days a week online at www.NIUHuskies.com. Single game and season tickets will be available for purchase Saturday at Huskie Stadium.

PDN Video Pick: Marco Grob's Afghanistan Portraits
If you've read PDN's story on Marco Grob's techniques for lighting and shooting portraits fast (see "How I Got That Shot: The 3-Minute Portrait" in our December issue) you may be curious to see Grob in action. This video shows Grob using his portable lighting set up and handheld Hassie to photograph survivors of landmines in Afghanistan.
Grob traveled to Afghanistan in February to document the work of the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) and the Mine Action Coordination Centre of Afghanistan (MACCA). More than one million people in Afghanistan have been injured or affected by landmines and other unexploded ordinances left from decades of conflict. Grob documented the work MACCA and UNMAS are doing to clear the Afghan countryside of landmines and to educate the public about the risks these devices pose. Grob talked about his portraits with the UN News Center.

News is out and the reality TV show, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" took a major hit in the viewer ratings. It seems that E! is desperate to keep the show on the air, so they are asking Kim Kardashian to bring baby North on the program.
According to viewer polls, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" had only 2.56 million viewers turning in to watch the premiere of Season Nine. When compared to Season Eight, that leaves half a million loyal viewers who didn't bother to watch.
A source told Radar Online that the show's producer, Ryan Seacrest is trying to persuade Kim to put North on the show for a little TV exposure in an effort to bring up ratings. He needs to pull in millions of viewers otherwise the show is doomed.
Although Kim may be considering the idea, she will have to convince her fiancé and baby North's dad, Kanye West. to relent. The odds of that happening are almost impossible. An insider told Radar Online, "Kim has always been an open book with her fans, but once Kanye came on the scene, that all changed. Kanye shuts Kim down whenever she brings it up."
The source continued to say, "He thinks reality television is tacky, and doesn't want North on display. He will be very happy when Kim is done with the show."
It's amazing that Kanye is allowing E! to film his wedding ceremony. But then, the station is picking up the tab for this multi-million dollar wedding.

The Girl in the Mirror
Genre: Historical
Publisher: HarperPress
Publication Date: 08/06/2011
Sheila O'Reilly 21 June 2011 - 12:00am
This atmospheric novel tells the story of Jeanne, a young French exile orphaned by the Wars of Religion on the continent and brought to London disguised as a boy. Sarah Gristwood is a wonderful storyteller and the book describes the politics and intrigue of the court of Queen Elizabeth I brilliantly. She gives you a real feel for life in 16th-century London, together with vivid descriptions of the Cecil household upping sticks to the country in preparation for a visit by the Queen.
Each chapter is narrated by a different character and, as we follow Jeanne growing up in disguise in the household of Robert Cecil, we are drawn to her. A thoroughly enjoyable and compelling historical novel.

National Tea Party blog endorses Ron Paul
Local Coordinator Conference - January 20-21, 2012. South Carolina
Why I Endorse Ron Paul
It wasn't until I was sexually assaulted by a female TSA employee at Reagan National Airport in September on my way to Florida for the Tea Party Presidential debate that I took another look at her vote for the Patriot Act, which created the conditions for the assault. As the risk/benefit can't justify the body x-rays or the pat downs on domestic flights I realized that their are all types of mal-investment. Preying upon fear is just another tactic to justify more government spending. As I live a few miles from the Pentagon, I realized that I had fallen for it too.

Preying upon fear is just another tactic to justify more government spending. As I live a few miles from the Pentagon, I realized that I had fallen prey to it too.
Then later in the Attorney General's Presidential debate she said she supported Federal Tort Reform which conflicts with States rights. Before switching I reviewed the allegations against Dr. Ron Paul and found his mea culpa for not reviewing the massive volume of newsletters credible and his view of individuality reflected in his medical practice, his employment practices and his political views no matter the pressure put upon him to pick sides or preferences.
He has worked steadily for a more just environment where ALL Americans can have that opportunity promised in our founding documents.I reviewed old video interviews with William Buckley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VIvqyrxbL8 (watch all four videos), read his Congressional and campaign website. I was please to find he hadn't passed much legislation. As we are choking on all the laws and regulation Congress produces, his instinct not to add to our burden was refreshing.
Ron Paul's platform proposes the deepest cuts in a manner that, by the end of his Presidency, the private sector will have not only recovered the jobs eliminated but be on our way to full employment.
I applaud his well thought out policy prescriptions in consolidating and streamlining enumerated powers so we have a stronger military with more effective strategic tactics when dealing with real threats. We will have less civilian and military casualties with better relations and business opportunities the world over.
Our debt is our greatest National Security risk and it is already having an impact on our military by China's ease in hacking into military and government databases. Only free markets innovate because the incentive is there.
No government program will ever match the strengths of a free market. The math says we can't wait another four years to cut government spending. The misguided view that big government can be "fixed" would be a disaster and would continue this horrid slide into poverty and impotence.
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for a more just society where the most people have the most opportunity.

The Iowa Caucus onslaught against Ron Paul
The constant deployment of multiple flaks of the ruling political class daily on Fox and other networks and outlets has gone on for over a week now, with these PR people for the establishment virtually never being asked any follow up questions or challenged on the routine errors on points of fact. Neither the media nor the politicians involved seem to get it -- that their dishonesty and incompetence is precisely the source of Paul's appeal and what is growing his campaign and the organizations he is going to leave behind after him.
So let us revisit the reportorial origin of much of this onslaught, the coverage of Ron Paul's two decades old newsletters, by my friend James Kirchik, formerly of the New Republic.
So as it comes to the hermeneutics of Ron Paul newsletters, here's the funny thing: if you want to believe that Paul, or libertarians, or paleolibertarians, or paleoconservatives, or anti-statists, or people who do not agree with you, or gentiles, or whatever, are all bigots and anti-Semites, you assume, parochially and perspectivally, that this clause is a sneaky aside asserting the guilt of the Jews. Or you could assume that the clause should be interpreted as "even under the most outlandish assumptions, like that some Jews were behind false flag fake Islamic terrorist events" the same outcome follows. Jamie assumes the former; I read it as the latter.
You might adduce as circumstantial evidence all the other bigoted passages that are not about Jews, and conclude that if these people hate the gays (or more precisely, if these people are willing to appeal to paleoconservatives with inflammatory rhetoric about gays), then they of course hate the Jews too (even if they themselves were Jewish). Yes, yes, tell that one to Midge Decter (http://www.commentarymagazine.com/article/the-boys-on-the-beach/#).
Jamie also thinks the "Jewish friend" is a fiction. I think I can dig up a number of cranky anti-war Jews on both the left and the right, several of whom trash me on the internet, who think the Irgun blew up synagogues to scare native Sephardic Jews into fleeing Iran or Iraq for Israel, etc., etc. I suspect that the actual authors of these newsletters include a few such Jews, like the late Murray Rothbard. (Indeed we should adopt a Straussian practice when writing about these newsletters: there is the historical Ron Paul, and the Rockwellian/Rothbardian Ron Paul, just as there is the historical Socrates who is not the Platonic Socrates nor the Aristophonic Socrates. Of course, the historical Ron Paul had not yet drank the hemlock and could have sued his followers for identity theft if he had paid more attention.)

Ron Paul's Supporters 'Love' Him While He Talks 'Revolutionary Change'
Has anyone heard from Buffy yet? Young Hollywood for Ron Paul
Michelle Branch Joins Kelly Clarkson In Supporting Ron Paul, Infuriating Fans
Santorum: flavor of the weak
Santorum: flavor of the weakDecember 29, 2011 by Don Surber
Yes, I do mean that Rick Santorum is the flavor of the weak — as well as the week. Here is the thought bubble for the American conservative today:
Herman Cain crashed. Michele Bachmann crashed. Rick Perry crashed. Herman Cain crashed. Newt Gingrich crashed. Ron Paul — oh, good gravy, you lost me at hello. Who is left for conservatives? Rick Santorum. Really? That's it? The guy the homosexual fanatics so hate that they made up a sex act just to smear his name in Wikipedia and on Google? Well, I suppose he beats a flip-flopping millionaire from Massachusetts.
And so the new polls show Rick Santorum has tripled his support — which was at 3% so he's now in double digits. Via Real Clear Politics:
PPP poll of 565 likely Republican voters in Iowa on Monday and Tuesday: Ron Paul 24, Mitt 20, Gingrich 13, Perry 10, Santorum 10, Bachmann 11, Who's it 4.
CNN/Time poll of 452 likely Republican voters in Iowa last Wednesday to Tuesday: Ron Paul 22, Mitt 25, Gingrich 14, Perry 11, Santorum 16, Bachmann 9, Who's it 1.
Rasmussen poll of 750 likely Republican voters in Iowa December 19: Ron Paul 20, Mitt 25, Gingrich 17, Perry 10, Santorum 10, Bachmann 6, Who's it 4.
Insider Advantage poll of 452 likely Republican voters in Iowa December 18: Ron Paul 24, Mitt 18, Gingrich 13, Perry 16, Santorum 3, Bachmann 10, Who's it 4.
So what can we conclude?
Ron Paul and Mitt Romney each have a hard core of 20%-25% of the vote. Conservatives make up a majority of the Republican voters but they are split among Newt Gingrich (don't ask why he's considered conservative), Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann.
But let us not overstate the importance of Iowa for Republicans. Four years ago, the results were — Mike Huckabee (34%), Mitt Romney (25%), Fred Thompson (13%), John McCain (13%), Ron Paul (10%), Rudy Giuliani (4%), and Duncan Hunter (1%).
Iowa got it right in 1996 and 2000, the previous two contested Republican contests, but blew it in 1988 — Bob Dole (37%), Pat Robertson (25%), George H. W. Bush (19%), Jack Kemp (11%), and Pierre DuPont (7%).
Iowa also blew it in 1980 — George H. W. Bush (32%), Ronald Reagan (30%), Howard Baker (15%), John Connally (9%), Phil Crane (7%), John B. Anderson (4%), and Bob Dole (2%).
So Iowa blew it in 3 out of the 5 last contested Republican races. Four years ago the guy who eventually won the race finished 4th in Iowa.
Robert Stacy McCain (who saw the Herman Cain revival two months before it began) is in Iowa and has been watching Rick Santorum's campaign for signs of life. Rick Santorum has hit all 99 counties of Iowa but he has no money. On Tuesday, Robert Stacy McCain reported:
The apparent collapse of Gingrich — at least insofar as it involves conservatives in Iowa — will be one of the big stories to keep watching. Multiple sources confirm the lack of organizational "ground game" for Newt here, but the key questions are, "How far will he fall?" and "Who will benefit most from Newt's losses?"
Another sign the beneficiary might be Santorum: "Huck's Army" founders Alex and Brett Harris today endorsed Santorum.
Today I had a long conversation with influential Iowa talk-show host Steve Deace, who remains skeptical of Santorum's Cinderella potential. Listening to Deace's analysis, I'd say the unreported story is this: Perhaps the real reason Steve King didn't endorse Santorum yesterday is not only King's longstanding friendship with Bachmann, but also that redistricting has given King some new territory that includes a lot of fired-up Ron Paul supporters. The last thing King needs is a bunch of fanatical Paulistas backing a primary challenger against him next year.
There are layers and layers of complexity to GOP politics in Iowa, and I don't pretend to understand it at more than a superficial level. But I think the situation here is a lot more volatile than most people realize.
Me? So far the conservative darlings have been loud of mouth and short on money and organization with the exception of Rick Perry who has the money and the organization, but his foot keeps using his mouth as a shoe. I would really like to say Rick Santorum is the Great Pumpkin who will rise out the patch and lead us to victory on November 6, 2012. I really would. But he lacks the spark and has failed to attract much of a following. There are plenty of young conservatives looking to latch onto a campaign to be the next Karl Rove. I don't see one attached to Rick Santorum.
You need more than having the right positions. You need charm and leadership skills. He is surging only because conservatives have nowhere left to go.
So here is my prediction: Santorum finishes third or even second, and we will get a big hullabaloo about Santorumentum. He raised $1 million in a day! (While Barack Obama raised $200 million in the last 91 days.) Then Rick Santorum will crash in New Hampshire because he has no organization. That leaves South Carolina where Governor Nikki Haley already is a Mitt Rider.....
