Skip to comments.Sweeteners For The South (Louisiana Purchase: $300 Million For Landrieu)
Posted on 11/22/2009 10:16:34 AM PST by raptor22
Staffers on Capitol Hill were calling it the Louisiana Purchase.
On the eve of Saturday's showdown in the Senate over health-care reform, Democratic leaders still hadn't secured the support of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), one of the 60 votes needed to keep the legislation alive. The wavering lawmaker was offered a sweetener: at least $100 million in extra federal money for her home state.
And so it came to pass that Landrieu walked onto the Senate floor midafternoon Saturday to announce her aye vote -- and to trumpet the financial "fix" she had arranged for Louisiana. "I am not going to be defensive," she declared. "And it's not a $100 million fix. It's a $300 million fix."
It was an awkward moment (not least because her figure is 20 times the original Louisiana Purchase price). But it was fairly representative of a Senate debate that seems to be scripted in the Southern Gothic style. The plot was gripping -- the bill survived Saturday's procedural test without a single vote to spare -- and it brought out the rank partisanship, the self-absorption and all the other pathologies of modern politics. If that wasn't enough of a Tennessee Williams story line, the debate even had, playing the lead role, a Southerner named Blanche with a flair for the dramatic.
After Landrieu threw in her support (she asserted that the extra Medicaid funds were "not the reason" for her vote), the lone holdout in the 60-member Democratic caucus was Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. Like other Democratic moderates who knew a single vote could kill the bill, she took a streetcar named Opportunism, transferred to one called Wavering and made off with concessions of her own.

Her office is a street lamp on a corner of Bourbon Street.
A caller into Sean on Friday said they tried all the numbers posted to contact the traitor and none answered or vm was full.
Machiavelli himself would gag in revulsion at the process.
Harry Reid's little street whore.
She indignantly replied," Certainly not!
Asked again if she would do it for a million dollars, she replied,"Well, okay, but I'm not some prostitute or anything."
To that the questioner offered, "Oh, but you are. We're just trying to establish your price."
She's proud of her pay off by the way.
To paraphase Nixon, "It's not illegal when the democrats do it.
All I can say is I knew she was a traitor too..All the Dem's are fools, this little woman has a sure thing she will get reelected by her welfare group..And get money out of it..Time for the country to be taken back by the real Americans.. Wasn't her daddy a criminal from Louisiana?
If each piece of silver is worth $10 mil...
Actually, I think they are all prostitutes. Comes with the job.
Landrieu boldly announces that her seat is up for sale to the highest bidder.
I wonder how her constituents feel about this payoff. Did they "win"?
Of course, $200 million will be taken off the top by Landrieu and friends. But the voters will be happy they got $100 million.
You are right. She did sell out......our country.
Please Freep this USA Today poll on Senate vote:
There is another set of prostitutes here.....they can be seen easily.....in the bathroom mirror. P.J. O'Rourke has it right.
A high priced Whore!
Don't we have laws about political bribery?????
Q: Whats the difference between Mary Landrieu and a $20 whore?
Won't ask her for a date........Too danm expensive!!!
just as i was going to say...............
Thanks for the info. I plan on letting her know that I am going to donate to her next opponent, even though I do not live in Louisiana. Money is all she understands, the crook.
Had we known that $300,000,000 was her price, do you think it would have been possible to find 3 million people who would have been willing to donate $100 to stop this socialism in it's tracks? I bet we could have, but that wouldn't have been legal.
I suggest that anyone who visits her office from now on, dress like a whore or a pimp.
I agree!
So how many times do we have to keep on buying New Orleans over and over?

Harnessing the Power of Dark Social
Did you know that — by far — most social sharing takes place privately, out of the eyes of traditional tracking and analytic tools?
Over 90% of people share content behind-the-scenes, such as copying and pasting it directly into their emails, texts, or other formats. And until recently, most brands were leaving this organic type of sharing, known as "Dark Social", untracked and untapped.
A Pocket Guide to Programmatic
Programmatic buying is expected to account for 46% of all digital media spending in 2015, experiencing steep growth as the benefits and opportunities expand to more screens and platforms. However, the complex world of programmatic is mired in jargons, terminologies, and acronyms.
10 Tips to Mastering Mobile Programmatic
Mobile ads help you shorten the gap between when a consumer is exposed to an ad and when they can act on it. By reaching consumers when they're "out-and-about", actively shopping and near a retail store, your ads can show a clear benefit and purpose that matches the consumer's use of their mobile device. This can earn an immediate response and improve advertising performance.
Luxury Retail's Digital Moment
There are a growing number of opportunities to reach high-end audiences with money ready to spend. Luxury retailers continue to integrate display advertising with other digital channels that merge mobile, web, video, and social advertising in real time. This survey brings to light incredibly productive digital marketing strategies and tactics.
The Light and Dark of Social Sharing
Dark Social is the primary form of consumer sharing globally. Advertisers and publishers have an exciting opportunity to harness Dark Social and short URL sharing to understand consumers' interests and intent to act on the insights in real time. The result is significantly improved ROI of social media and digital marketing investments.
Beacons: A Pixel for the Real World

Boston Brown Bread
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 40 mins
This is a recipe from Milwaukee,Wisconsin. It is is a favorite of mine. I bake it in cans, so the loaves are round. Very nice when you make up GOODIE baskets, especially liked by elderly people.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup chopped dates
- 3⁄4 cup raisins
- 3⁄4 cup chopped walnuts
- 3 tablespoons oleo
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- Put dates, raisins, oleo, and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Pour the boiling water over this mixture. Mix then let cool.
- Beat 2 eggs, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
- Add the cooled mixture alternately with the flour.Stir in nuts.
- Bake in 3-1# cans that have been well greased.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes.
- Cool slightly, then run a butter knife around the inside edge of can to loosen bread. Pull out gently and wrap while still partly warm in plastic wrap. This keeps the round loaves moist.
- These freeze well. When baking these, I usually double the recipe and freeze half for gifts.
- This is delicious! It does not taste at all like the can stuff in the store.

This recipe is great. I used 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup mollasses. This is tastes just like brown bread (even better)in a can usually served with baked beans. I love it Thanks
Very good served with hotdogs and beans! Skipped the walnuts but otherwise made as directed except I used a stoneware bread pan shaped as a coffee can and two small bread (individual serving size) pans (for the freezer). Thanks for sharing!
Just like mama used to make! We had with New England Baked Kidney Beans in the Crock Pot, and we chowed down like there was no tomorrow. Even my DS indulged and that's a first for him!

Accretive Health Investor Sues After 42 Percent Share Drop
An Accretive Health Inc. investor sued the hospital billings collection company after a report on its practices issued by Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson triggered a 42 percent share price decline yesterday.
In a six-part report released April 24, Swanson criticized company policies that she said included the posting of debt collectors in emergency rooms and at patient bedsides.
Swanson sued the Chicago-based company in January, alleging it failed to protect patient confidentiality and didn't disclose the degree of its involvement in revenue management for two Minnesota hospital systems.
"The company failed to disclose it was violating health privacy laws, state debt collection laws and state consumer protection laws," allowing its shares to trade at artificially high levels, investor Linda Wong alleged in her lawsuit filed today in federal court in Chicago.
Wong is seeking class-action, or group, status on behalf of anyone who bought Accretive shares from March 2, 2011, to April 24, 2012, as well as an award of unspecified money damages.
Also named as defendants in the investor suit are Chief Executive Officer Mary A. Tolan and Chief Financial Officer John T. Staton.
Pending Litigation
Rhonda Barnat, an outside spokeswoman for the company, later said it doesn't comment on pending litigation. She is a managing director with the Abernathy MacGregor Group Inc. in New York.
Francesca Luthi, senior vice president for investor relations at Accretive Health, didn't reply to a telephone message seeking comment on the lawsuit.
"We have a great track record of helping hospitals enhance their quality of care," Luthi said yesterday in a statement. "For example, we have helped over 250,000 patients get insurance coverage."
The case is Wong v. Accretive Health Inc., 12-cv-3102, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).

AbstractNASA and the aerospace industry are beginning to utilize terahertz (THz) reflection imaging (for example, examining the space shuttle external tank sprayed on foam insulation for voids and disbonds). THz non destructive evaluation (NDE) imaging is widely applicable to composite resin, ceramic, plastic, natural, and other non-metallic materials. Current commercial equipment is capable of 2D raster scanning, collecting THz waveforms from a very narrow depth range. THz NDE technology can be more fully exploited if high speed 3D THz imaging is realized. Phase II work will enable objects many inches thick to be imaged in 3D an order of magnitude faster than current 2D imaging configurations. We will develop and demonstrate the following innovative imaging methodologies for high speed, high sensitivity 3D NDE imaging: 1) Improved 3-dimensional THz Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Background-free THz SAR (rapid imaging); 2)Travel-time 3D Reflection THz tomography (high resolution 3D structure); and 3) Interferometric THz time-of-flight bulk imaging (greater sensitivity to small voids and disbonds). We will enhance our Phase I tomographic testbed, construct an improved high resolution co-linear reflection transceiver, modify the transceiver for interferometry, and deliver a software suite of imaging algorithms for the T-Ray 2000 THz NDE platform.

State's Corps sends 24 ahead of Gustav
WILMINGTON - Staff members from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Wilmington are headed to the Gulf Coast as part of a nationwide mobilization for Hurricane Gustav.
Two dozen members of the Wilmington staff left Friday for Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. Officials said the team is trained to distribute emergency supplies, such as water and ready-to-eat meals.
The storm again strengthened to a hurricane Friday afternoon. Forecasters said it could hit anywhere from the Florida Panhandle to Texas next week.

I'm Fruzsi, 28 years old, working as a freelance language coach in French and German, but I also speak English. It's not only languages that I am interested in, but other cultures, cuisines, traditions and especially literature inspire me. I've always loved traveling and had the chance to discover most of the European countries and few of them in South-America, Northern Africa and in Asia as a backpacker. My favorite cities are Marseille and Istanbul, but i also have a special affection to the Balkan. I love handmade things around me, which you will notice in my apartment.

This is very tasty! I think I made my apple chunks too big though, because I ended up having to cook for about 3-4 times longer than stated for the apples to get soft. That didn't seem to affect the finished product though. I like applesauce a little chunky so I used a potato masher to break down the apples, which worked very well (everything else was pretty well pureed already from the longer cooking time). I followed the recipe ingredients to the letter (including leaving on the apple peels). Thanks so much for sharing!
Very interesting twist on 'ye olde applesauce recipes. I decided to leave apple skins on as well as keeping the sauce chunky. WOW. Chunky is wonderful. I will definitely make again trying the other version (peeling apples and pureeing (sp?) the mixture). Such a nice blend of fresh fruits! Thanks Lennie.
Thank you Lennie!
Wonderful applesauce, with a great flavor and a pretty color too. I used rhubarb and strawberries from my garden in this recipe. At the end I partially pureed the applesauce with my immersion blender to the desired texture. Was planning to use this as an ingredient in Danielle Lapointe's Calgary Stampede Rhubarb Muffins but didn't expect it to be so good! I might just have to make a second batch. Thanks, Lennie.
This was my first venture with rhubarb and I just loved the results. It gives the ordinary this dish a really distinctive flair. I used Splenda instead of sugar and added it to the sauce once it was finished cooking. This probably worked better than adding the Splenda in Step 4. The amount really depends on your tastes and wheter you are using this as a dessert or a dinner condiment. I found 3 tablespoons was just right. Thanks Lennie.

Is there a way to schedule the timing of posts to your page.
Is there a way to schedule the timing of posts to your page.
Are you wanting a separate timing from the post publisher scheduler built into WordPress veken?
For me, I simply use the post scheduler to publish my posts at the best time to hit both twitter and Facebook with the RSS feed shortly after. However, if I needed a gap between the two I'd have to publish to my page with RSS Graffiti rather than with this.
Yes we would like to time posts to Facebook differently than the wordpress publishing schedule as they are different audiences.
We tie into whatever post scheduler that you're using. So whenever the post/page is public, that's when it's published to Facebook too.
This is probably the most straightforward way to do it.
It might be something to consider since they are different audiences and properly timing Facebook posts does have an impact on wether they get shown in someones newsfeed.
Try the sharepress plugin. It will let you schedule your post to facebook

text: 000 FXUS63 KLOT 250705 AFDLOT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 205 AM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 .SHORT TERM... 230 PM CDT Through tonight... Convective trends remain the main focus and the main challenge through the rest of the afternoon. The cool front continues to advance east and southeast across southwest WI and eastern IA with the stratus of earlier now more of an open cell cu field. Ahead of that, another corridor of low level and mid level convergence generating mid level accas along with newly developing cumulus. A few echoes have developed with this area across southeast WI, with more substantial cell moving toward Milwaukee at 1915z. Additional outflows from morning storms over the lake are likely meandering across southern Lake Michigan with some indication of one such boundary oriented from northwest to southeast from offshore of Waukegan into central Berrien County, MI. Tough to say if this is the case though. Instability is extreme and maximized over the forecast area but recent aircraft soundings still show some capping in place which may be accounting for the rather slow increase in cell development. Expect that the cap will erode and isolated-scattered cells will continue to develop in the cu/accas field across the northwest third of the area in the next 1-2 hours. High res convective allowing models have been little help by showing a range of possibilities from little if anything to aggressive development and a substantial line of storms moving through. Will continue with earlier thinking of scattered coverage with potential for several clusters working east and southeast. With potential for more complex storm interaction among several boundaries, and being co-located with the instability gradient, areas from the northern Chicago metro southward into NW IN may see the greatest coverage, with more scattered coverage to the south and west. Storm progression should be more steady than yesterday. Torrential rain will be one of the primary concerns, along with damaging wind, but storm progression may help mitigate max rainfall potential. Convective coverage will translate southeastward as the front moves through into the evening. The front may slow as it moves further south and away from the parent surface low over western Ontario. This may keep pops lingering in the south but suspect that may be too high with pops overnight in our southern counties. Relatively drier air/lower dewpoints will steadily spread in from the northwest overnight but it will still remain mild with lows around 70 with lower 70s in the Chicago metro. MDB && .LONG TERM... 230 PM CDT Monday through Saturday... A less oppressive air mass that is probably welcome by many (including us) will move into the area Monday. Dew points are still forecast to be in the mid to upper 60s but that will certainly feel less humid. A small chance for a lingering shower in the southern CWA during mainly Monday morning, but dry advection aloft will shunt that chance southward by late morning or early afternoon with a mainly sunny sky to follow. Surface high pressure will settle in through Monday night with lows in the mid 60s in most areas. The upper ridge will deamplify though upper level heights will not substantially drop through Wednesday. Warm and slightly humid weather should prevail during that stretch, with temperatures a few degrees above normal. Lake breeze development will be favored each day. A buckle in the northern stream jet will occur in the middle of the U.S. during Wednesday into Thursday. This will cause low pressure development in the general mid-Mississippi Valley region, though there is model differences on when and just how fast. Tend to prefer the slower 24.12Z EC in this situation than the GFS. Not seeing a signal for any pronounced severe weather setup over our area with this system at this time. Behind this system northerly winds look to prevail into the start to next weekend with temperatures around late July normals. MTF && .AVIATION... For the 06Z TAFs... Welcome to quieter weather! Winds will become northwest behind the cold front pushing southeast through the terminals early this morning.

In the UK, the Open Rights Group, another consumer protection organisation, has been lobbying MPs to force companies to open up their DRM. "If I buy a car I expect any brand of petrol to work in it. Consumers are starting to see that they can do less with the music they buy," says Suw Charman, executive director of the group. Crunch time for Apple's music iconProps to Cory for the 'do less with' line, which always seems to make the point beautifully.

I'm kinda new to Windows administration, so please forgive me if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about. We have a domain environment that has a mixture of Windows server 2003 and server 2008. I have been administering a Windows server 2003 lab server that controls our labs that have Windows 7 clients.
The problem that I have been having is that students have been installing browser toolbars (conduit seems to be the main culprit) that allow them them to install apps such as bittorrent clients within the toolbar. This also changes the search engine to conduit search. They have been using this to bypass the security policies that were put in place by the last administrator.
They also seem to be able to change the wallpaper, this was not a problem when all the clients were Windows XP.
Anyone know how to solve this problem through group policy or some other method?

This item also fits additional vehicles. See Tech Specs below.
The Mishimoto racing thermostat for the 2001-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9 will promote greater cooling efficiency throughout your engine. The Mishimoto racing thermostat will significantly lower high engine temperature produced by modified and upgraded turbo applications. Once the engine is fully warmed up the Mishimoto racing thermostat will open up at a lower temperature than standard thermostats, also allowing the coolant to flow through the engine sooner thus reducing and maintaining cooler engine temperatures.

The Effect on Speech Words of Modulating the Temporal Pattern of Infinitely Clipped Speech
The effect of modulating the temporal pattern of some infinitely clipped speech words was examined. Many words change their power spectrum structure as a result of the modulation, and some become different words entirely. Thus altering the temporal pattern of infinitely clipped speech words can result in entirely new words and, therefore, a loss of intelligibility.

Let me tell you my modest post-9/11 dream. One morning, I'll see a newspaper article that begins something like this: "The FBI is attempting to persuade an obscure regulatory body in Washington to change its rules of engagement in order to curtail the agency's significant powers to hack into and carry out surveillance of computers."
What if I told you that the most pertinent social science subject -- one that affects every single one of us every single day -- is taught to only a select few? That would be absurd, right? Well, unfortunately this is no fiction. It is the state of legal knowledge in America, and it is profoundly troubling.

PLEASE UPDATE THE PLUGIN AND RESPOND TO SUPPORT REQUESTS. Otherwise I'm going elsewhere for this feature and telling everyone else to go elsewhere as well.
I would be willing to donate or pay for this plugin to work properly and be supported.

some of you fair weather Forty Niner fans but we just got a division win against the defending division and conference champions!!! We played a smart physical game. Couldn't run effectively but stuck with the run to avoid predictability with the passing game. Defense look excellent save for a few series. I'm very pleased with the coaching and the game management. Most importantly I sensed that we were confident we would win every individual battle and the game as a whole. Unbelieveble feeling right now in Ninerland. Woohhooo!!!
Cheers to Singfan...lol

Zaria is a major city in Kaduna State in Northern Nigeria, as well as being a Local Government Area. Formerly known as Zazzau, it was one of the original seven Hausa city-states. The 2006 Census population was estimated as 406,990. the town is home to Zazzau Emirate.
Zaria, initially known as Zazau, was also the capital of the Hausa kingdom of Zazzau.[1] However, human settlement predates the rise of Zazzau, as the region, like some of its neighbors, had a history of sedentary Hausa settlement, with institutional but pre-capitalist[citation needed] market exchange and farming.
In the late 1450s, Islam arrived in Zaria by the way of its sister Habe cities, Kano and Katsina. Along with Islam, trade also flourished between the cities as traders brought camel caravans filled with salt in exchange for slaves and grain.[1] Between the fifteenth and sixteenth century the kingdom became a tributary state of the Songhai Empire. In 1805 it was captured by the Fulani during the Fulani Jihad. British forces led by Frederick Lugard took the city in 1901.
A French hostage of the Islamist group Ansaru, held captive at Zaria,[2] managed to escape in 2013 and reach a police station in the city.
The old part of the city, known as Birnin Zazzau[3] or Zaria-City, was originally surrounded by walls and fortress, which now have been mostly removed.[4] The Emir's palace is located in the old city. In the old city and the adjacent Tudun Wada neighbourhood people typically reside in traditional adobe compounds. These two neighborhoods are predominantly occupied by the indigenous Hausa.[3] The neighborhoods of Samaru and Sabon Gari are predominantly occupied by Nigerians of southern origin, such as the Igbo.[3] The largest marketplace is in Sabon Gari.[5] Other more recent neighborhoods include: Danmagaji/Wusasa, PZ, Kongo, GRA-Zaria, Hanwa, Bassawa, Lowcost Kofan-Gayan and Shikka.[4]
Transport and economy[edit]
Zaria's economy is primarily based on agriculture. Staples are guinea corn and millet, and cash crops include cotton, groundnuts and tobacco.[1] The city is considered by some to be a main center of Hausa agriculture[who?]. Not only is Zaria a market town for the surrounding area, it is the home of numerous artisans, from traditional crafts like leather work, dyeing and cap making, to tinkers, printshops and furniture makers.[3] Zaria is also the center of a textile industry that for over 200 years has made elaborately hand-embroidered robes that are worn by men throughout Nigeria and West Africa.[6]
Because Zaria is north of the rail junction at Kaduna, it has equal rail access to the seaports at Lagos and Port Harcourt. However, currently only the railway between Lagos and Kano is functional, as the eastern line of Nigeria's rail network is not operational. This means that Zaria currently has rail access to Lagos and Kano to the north, but not Port Harcourt.[7][8]
From 1914 to 1927, Zaria was the break-of-gauge junction station for the Bauchi Light Railway to the tin mines at Jos.
Zaria is home to Ahmadu Bello University, the largest university in Nigeria and the second largest on the African continent. The institution is very prominent in the fields of Agriculture, Science, Finance, Medicine and Law. Zaria is also the base for the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology.[9] National Research Institute for Chemical Technology.[10] Zaria is also home to Barewa College. The school is known for the large number of elites from the region that passed through the school's academic buildings and counts among its alumni, five of whom were at one time Nigerian Heads of State, including the late president Umaru Musa Yar'Adua(and we have two other famous schools in wusasa,where the former head of state Yakubu Gowon reside which is St. Bartholomews school and Science school kufena formerly known as St Pauls College) .

ALERT: The MEDIA is starting to pick up on the shocking news:
Barack Hussein Obama has signed Executive Orders giving him the power to declare MARTIAL LAW in America!
On a recent episode of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity himself declared:
"Tonight… we shine the spotlight on an executive order that the White House was hoping that you would never learn about. Now, the President signed the National Defense Resources Preparedness [NDRP] executive order late Friday afternoon. And since that time, now the measure has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media. Now, the order essentially gives the president of the United States absolute power over any and all American resources during both times of peace and national crisis. Now, this includes, but it's not limited to food and livestock, water, plants, energy, health resources, transportation and construction materials and gives the government the ability to, quote, 'control the general distribution of any material, including applicable services in this civilian market.'"
Hannity then went on to discuss how "this would give the President of the United States the authority to declare basically Martial Law during times of peace. And to be sure, this is simply the latest string of actions taken by the administration that ignore the basic principles of our constitution."
Of course, that Executive Order was only the BEGINNING. Obama's preparations to institute MARTIAL LAW IN AMERICA are coming together quickly.
FIRST, he signed an Executive Order, for so-called "National Defense Resources Preparedness" — that would give him DICTATOR POWERS whenever he decides he "needs" them.
THEN, he signed ANOTHER "Executive Order", this time to take control of America's domestic natural gas production.
NOW, he's done it AGAIN — Barack Hussein Obama has signed YET ANOTHER Executive Order… declaring INTERNATIONAL LAW for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
As reported by blogger Henry Shivley:
"On May 1, 2012, our Glorious Leader, Premier Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro AKA Barry the Rat, signed yet another Executive Order – Promoting International Regulatory Cooperation. This dictate is designed to standardize regulations between the United States and its so-called trading partners.
What is a regulation? A law. So what is actually being attempted here is a standardization of international law. It is an absolute violation of the Constitution for the United States to legislate our law outside of our borders."
And what exactly can this latest unconstitutional Executive Order lead to? As Shivley states, "Considering the many international security agreements the traitors occupying our highest seats of power have entered into, this latest executive order can absolutely be used to institute gun confiscation laws/regulations, without any consent by our Congress or our Judicial. And once these foreign laws are brought to the United States under the various security agreements, foreign troops will be brought in to enforce the foreign laws upon the people of the United States."
This new Executive Order came hot on the heels of the recent one that Barack Obama signed to take control of America's domestic natural gas production. As columnist Mac Slavo reports:
"While Americans focused their attention on the Colombian controversy involving U.S. Secret Service agents, prostitutes and excessive drinking, President Obama quietly signed his latest Presidential Executive Order.
The Supporting Safe and Responsible Development of Unconventional Domestic Natural Gas Resources Executive Order seeks to create what amounts to a Presidential super committee that will oversee the regulation and development of the 'unconventional' natural gas industry for the purpose of ensuring a long-term natural gas supply for the United States, as well as to do so in a safe and environmentally responsible manner."
So now, by Presidential decree alone, the federal government can "coordinate action" through thirteen core federal agencies against any domestic natural gas production facility — all according to standards determined to be "appropriate" not by law, but because of political agenda.
Moreover, because a key stated purpose of this latest Executive Order is to "ensure long-term supplies," Barack Obama's new decree gives the federal government the ability to shut down gas production operations as THEY see fit, which can lead directly to government price fixing and centralized control of an essential natural energy resource.
While Obama's Executive Order aims to curtail some of the practices of the hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," industry, it further expands government control over our lives through more centralization of power and bureaucracy.
THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE. As experts start to dig deeper into Barack Hussein Obama's recently-signed Executive Order, for so-called "National Defense Resources Preparedness," they are reporting just how bad this really is: OBAMA IS PREPARING TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW IN AMERICA.
As detailed in this report from the Canada Free Press:
Under this order the heads of these cabinet level positions; Agriculture, Energy, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Defense and Commerce can take food, livestock, fertilizer, farm equipment, all forms of energy, water resources, all forms of civil transportation (meaning any vehicles, boats, planes), and any other materials, including construction materials from wherever they are available. This is probably why the government has been visiting farms with GPS devices, so they know exactly where to go when they turn this one on.
Specifically, the government is allowed to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate. They decide what necessary or appropriate means.
We're not alone in reporting this. It's starting to be reported in more and more media sources:
The latest report comes from the Russia Times:
"As folks headed out to happy hour last Friday evening, President Obama signed an executive order that could potentially give him the power to institute martial law in the United States in times of peace or during a national threat… Many Americans were shocked to find out that this order gives the president practically unlimited power over US citizens and their property. All in the name of national security of course."
IT'S TRUE! As we said, Barack Hussein Obama has signed a Presidential Executive Order, which would give him the powers of a DICTATOR — whenever HE thinks it's "necessary" to institute MARTIAL LAW!
According to press reports, "A White House order updating federal emergency powers has raised alarm among some conservative commentators, and U.S. Rep. Sandy Adams, that President Barack Obama is attempting to grab unconstitutional powers."
A columnist with The Washington Times declared the mid-March order — an update of a 60-year-old document outlining the president's authority in a national emergency — "stunning in its audacity and a flagrant violation of the Constitution." The conservative Drudge Report website linked to it with the headline, "Martial Law?"
And Adams, R-Orlando, said it "leaves the door open for the president to give himself control over American resources during both times of peace, and national crisis."
It's almost unbelievable what Barack Hussein Obama is trying to do — BUT IT'S TRUE. According to a bombshell article in the Washington Times, "President Obama has given himself the powers to declare martial law — especially in the event of a war with Iran. It is a sweeping power grab that should worry every American."
On March 16, the White House released an executive order, "National Defense Resources Preparedness." The document is stunning in its audacity and a flagrant violation of the Constitution. It states that, in case of a war or national emergency, the federal government has the authority to take over almost every aspect of American society. Food, livestock, farming equipment, manufacturing, industry, energy, transportation, hospitals, health care facilities, water resources, defense and construction — all of it could fall under the full control of Mr. Obama. The order empowers the president to dispense these vast resources as he sees fit during a national crisis.
In short, according to the Times, the order gives Barack Obama the ability to IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW: "He now possesses the potential powers of a dictator. The order is a direct assault on individual liberties, private property rights and the rule of law. It is blatantly unconstitutional. The executive branch is arrogating responsibilities precluded by the Constitution without even asking the permission of Congress. The order gives Mr. Obama a blank check to erect a centralized authoritarian state."
But why this — and why now?
SIMPLE — because he's about to provoke a confrontation with IRAN, which could give him the excuse to implement martial law in America:
Barack Obama is OUT OF CONTROL — we MUST STOP HIM NOW!

Print book
Print book
This single volume, written by the most prominent authors in the field, brings together for the first time information about the most widely studied IEG/ITF in a whole variety of phenomena of neuronal activation. It starts with a critical appraisal of the technologies employed for the studies on gene, protein, and transcription factor activity in the nervous system. Several chapters present exhaustive examples of expression patterns of the ITF in "vocal" avian brain, mammalian brain sensory regions, areas involved in regulation of circadian rhythms, and the spinal cord. The next parts cover functional and regular aspects of individual IEG/ITF expression: c-fos in learning and memory, c-jun and others in neuropathology and neuronal stress responses, Elk-1, egr family, and CREB in neuronal plasticity and learning.
This volume will be useful as a major reference on this topic. Furthermore, it attempts to unravel the seemingly overwhelming complexity of the phenomena of gene expression in the central nervous system.

You are a very generous man, Mr. Gurney. Davies played excellent offense but
only had 2 rebounds. Not a passing grade on the one unless you're grading on the
curve. Austin was a near zero. Overall for centers is a C.
Our guards get a B+ for defense, but a D for offense. Wide open and free throws missed. Any stiff from the crowd could have done as well. If you're on scholarship you better make most of your wide open shots. Winder, Kusik and Carlino get Cs at best.
Charles sure missed a bunch he should have made, but we'll be pleased with 16 points so with his rebounding excellence he gets a B. Zylstra came up big... but why is a wide open shot against bad teams made and then missed against the better team. The guy seems like a head case. Overall for 3-4s... B

Space-Available Travel (Space-A Travel)
Space Available (Space-A) travel allows authorized passengers to occupy Department of Defense (DoD) aircraft seats that are surplus after all Space Required (Space-R) passengers have been accommodated. Space-A travel costs nothing but is allowed only on a non-mission interference basis.
As of 9 Jun 2015, in recognition of the sustained efforts of Spouses and dependent Children of deployed military members, the Department of Defense (DoD) policy on Space-A for dependents of deployed members is being updated to reflect the recommendation of the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission Recommendation Assessment. Effective immediately, dependents of military members deployed for 30 or more consecutive days are authorized to travel Space-A on DoD aircraft in Category IV. This change will be incorporated into DoD Instruction 45 15.13R, "Air Transportation Eligibility," which is currently under revision.

Hillary Clinton Welcomes UN Human Rights Council Vote on Sri Lanka Reconciliation
Thursday's action by the UN Human Rights Council encourages the Government of Sri Lanka to continue on the path toward reconciliation following 27 years of civil war said Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton on Thursday welcomed a UN resolution urging Sri Lanka to "credibly investigate" allegations of war crimes during its battle against Tamil Tiger separatists in 2009.
US Secretary of State said, The United States, together with the international community, sent a strong signal that Sri Lanka will only achieve lasting peace through real reconciliation and accountability, and the international community stands ready to help.
In tabling the resolution in Geneva, Washington said Colombo had been given three years to hold its own investigations into allegations of serious violations, but "given the lack of action... it is appropriate" that the 47-member state council pushed it to do so.
"An enduring peace will be unsustainable without meaningful steps to foster national reconciliation and accountability," said US envoy Eileen Donahoe.
While making a veiled threat, she said that the he next steps are clear and we look to the Government of Sri Lanka to implement the constructive recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) and take the necessary measures to address accountability.
She went on to announce that we are committed to working with the Sri Lankan government to help realize this goal, and I look forward to discussing future actions with Foreign Minister Peiris soon.
" We will continue the productive working relationship we have with the Sri Lankan Government based on shared values, respect and constructive dialogue. Most important, we seek to strengthen our partnership with all the people of Sri Lanka."
In the meantime Sri Lankan authorities have rejected Thursday's resolution, saying the country must be given time to complete its own domestic investigations without interference from foreign powers.

What a refreshing experience. Don't get me wrong – I love TechEd. I love the PDC. There are enormous amounts of information presented at these large-style conferences. …and the information is pretty much delivered in a monologue. The audiences are just too large for a dialog.
I get to hang out and brainsuck at the Applied XML DevCon this week, and I'm having a blast. Tim Bray already blistered one of the folks on my team for something he said on his blog. Matt was able to respond. It's a dialog full of opinions, best practices, etc. Tim Ewald calls this type of event "boutique events". I forgot how much I love these gatherings. There's two folks in front of me – one who fired up Whidbey to create a web service. The other guy is walking thru some XSD code.
Time to get back to the talk….

Double murder accused Mark Lundy has appeared in the High
Court in Wellington today.
The review hearing of his case was held ahead of a retrial
into allegations that he killed his wife Christine and
7-year-old daughter Amber, 14 years ago.
Last year Law Lords at London's Privy Council quashed his
convictions and ordered the retrial.
In 2002, Lundy was convicted of murdering Christine and Amber
and was sentenced to a jail term of at least 20 years.
He appealed to the Privy Council, which unanimously ruled to
quash his convictions and a retrial was ordered.
Lundy was released on bail last October.

Course Description
GLOBAL REDESIGN PROJECT 2: RESONANCE: VIRTUAL AND REAL: DESIGN OF A PERFORMANCE ART CENTER SYLLABUS GLOBAL REDESIGN PROJECT 2: RESONANCE: VIRTUAL AND REAL: DESIGN OF A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Revised: October 3, 2010Resonance: Resonances occur when a system is able to transfer energy between two or more different "modes." In this studio, architects as agents of change, will become catalysts for two "modes"of non-profit organizations, Youth Orchestra of the Americas and Le Kinkeliba. Through the design of concert halls for these two organizations, architects promote a cross-breeding of purpose, an interface of goals and agendas to encourage collaboration. It is an attempt to create an "architecture"of a robust social structure at a global scale that enables grassroots organization to survive into the next phase of scalable and sustainable growth. The first part of the studio is "Virtual Resonance"Youth Orchestra of the Americas was founded in 2001 by the New England Conservatory and Vision Inc. It was inspired by the National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras of Venezuela created by Jose Antonio Abreu. It uses the power of music to encourage international understanding, and assembles a world-class orchestra of young musicians from countries of the Americas. It is a grassroots organization that touches the lives of youth and families of under-served communities. It provides an exemplary music education, and cultivates music ambassadors and future leaders. Its ambition is to make music, the infrastructure and catalyst for social change. The studio will design virtual concert halls for Youth Orchestra of the Americas during the first part of the semester. Currently, they audition over the internet from all over the world and the virtual concert hall creates opportunities for them to rehearse and perform with youths who live around the world. It will create a diverse environment of different sizes and attributes. The virtual performance halls created in the studio will be posted on their website for their use.We are collaborating with Arup Acoustics' Raj Patel for technicalities on performance hall design. We will have access to Arup's sound simulation lab in New York City to test the sound effect of each design. The studio will focus its study on the relationship of sound to material and geometry in this phase of the project. The Youth Orchetra of Americas proposed an "Interlude" mode of study for this studio.One of their supporters is Phillip Glass. He requested the studio to look at a potential for portable concert halls for his performance in at least three locations, one in Nova Scotia, the other in Big Sur and the third one in Holland. It will house two types of concerts, one for an ensemble of 8 musicians for the audience of 100 and the other for a festival with full orchestra for the audience of 500. Michael Stein, a partner of Shclaich Bergemann structural engineer will be available to offer technical guidance for the studio. The studio will listen to Phillip Glass' music to understand his music composition in relationship to contemporary culture, especially in his transition into polyphonic music, his collaboration with artists such as Robert Wilson and movie directors for sound track compositions. The second part of the studio is "Real Resonance"Last year, the studio traveled to Senegal and collaborated with Le Kinkeliba to program and design various types of cultural organizations. This studio will benefit from the information gathered in this previous studio, that established planning criteria for this particular sub-Saharan site, climate and socio-economic make-up of its community and the greater region. One of the programs that emerged out of the studio was a center for performing arts. The region is very rich with traditional performing a

Course Description
Architects as agents of change in a globally interconnected world is the theme of inquiry for this seminar. It is not a coincidence that we have witnessed a confluence of various crises in the last two years- from financial/economic crises, to those of natural resources, the environment and energy. Not only do we live in a world connected through the internet and information networks, we live in a world that is interdependent in a socio-political framework, and in the resources we need for simple survival. Architecture offers an unusually rigorous systemic thinking process to work through complex problems that gives form and clarity to ambiguous and amorphous issues. The word "architecture" is often used to describe a mastery of complex organizations in politics and economics that empowers the decision making process, yet in practice, these processes are rarely used to derive an enlightened outcome. The seminar will choose global issues in collaboration with other parts of the university in order to navigate this territory to give access through visualization, and to calibrate a structure for the clarification of issues. In particular, we will focus on blind spots, areas that fall between various silos of expertise to uncover existing and future risks going forward. The first part of the semester will be for the preparation of primers for the event on October 14th, the first collaborative event of the World Economic Forum with an academic institution, Harvard. The WEF's Global Redesign Project of the last two years will be brought in as the topic. This event, for the first time, will introduce the voices of the current young generation to the global discourse.As the host of this event at the GSD, the seminar group will pose questions that deal with the environment, space and design to reformulate and invigorate the discourse with dimensional and systematic thinking at multiple scales: the design process of architects and designers. The seminar will work in collaboration with professors of the Business School, Law School, Kennedy School, FAS and Public Health to produce primers and also act as the host, interlocutor and provocateur for the event. The last part of the seminar will consider new practice modes for architects and designers to create scenarios for proactive practices, to be involved as an active agent in the critical and larger issues that surround our everyday lives.The Final Exam for this seminar will be held on 12/15 from 9-12 in room 109.
