Capt. Swenson Awarded Medal of Honor
On Tuesday afternoon Captain William Swenson, U.S. Army Ret., was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Obama in a ceremony at the White House. He received the medal for his personal actions during the Battle of Ganjgal in early September of 2008. These actions include sprinting into the open and dragging a man wounded in the neck to safety, driving back into the ambush to recover the bodies of his men, and responding to the Taliban's surrender demands by chucking a grenade at them. A second serviceman, Sergeant Dakota Meyer, has already been awarded the Medal of Honor for the same engagement.
The battle took place in close proximity to a sizeable and "friendly" village. The U.S. troops and their ANA counterparts were there that day to conduct a friendly engagement (have a business meeting) with the village elders. Unfortunately the mission's operational security was compromised (we assume). The Taliban was waiting, having situated hundreds of fighters on hillsides surrounding the American's intended route. They waited until the Americans were in the intended kill zone and initiated a 3 sided ambush that immediately inflicted casualties. Portions of the American unit were cut off from the main element and overrun. All in all 5 Americans and scores of ANA were killed in the ambush.
The type of team that Swenson and Meyer were part of was designed, in theory, to act in an advisory capacity to the ANA unit they were assigned to. However in reality the Americans organized and lead the missions, using ANA soldiers to fill in gaps in manpower. Historically these PTT teams tended to operate with a good deal of autonomy outside the normal chain of command (thus outside normal means of support). The teams are small in size. Also due to terrorists abilities to infiltrate the ANA, they are easier to track.
Many of the most severe enemy victories in Iraq and Afghanistan have been inflicted on similarly organized PTT and MIT teams. These tactics have since been revised and it's rare now for such small elements to operate in this manner. Such missions are left to special operations forces and larger conventional infantry units.
Because of the unit's nature, it may have been difficult for the far flung and far removed senior unit leaders to grasp the reality of a situation on the ground. The mission went from a walk in the park to worst case scenario in the time it takes an AK round to travel 100 yards. Often times the brevity of the situation doesn't sink in fast enough for those not in the middle of it.
Based on the battles proximity to the village (and hopefully a misinterpretation of the circumstances), the decision was made to deny support 5 times by Swenson's count. The officers involved cite the 2008-2009 strategic level decision to tighten of the ROE (rules of engagement) as their guiding force in making that call, wanting to avoid civilian casualties.
Once it clicked with someone higher up that an American unit had basically been overrun and that contact had been lost with multiple troops whose status was unknown, rotary and fixed wing assets were tasked to provide support. This gave the surviving forces a reprieve but was not singularly responsible for turning the tide of the battle. Capt. Swenson took command on the ground after a Major had been incapacitated. He consolidated his remaining men and evacuated the wounded. A portion of that has been caught on video. He then requested permission to move forward into the village to try and reach the American element that had been cut off in the initial ambush. That request was repeatedly denied as well, possibly considered prudent since approving such a request was tantamount to approving a suicide mission.
That is when Capt. Swenson and Cpl. Meyer made the audacious and heroic decision to disregard their orders, mount up on lightly armored Humvees, and press on with their "plan". They encountered stiff resistance and spent almost 12 hours in a pitched close quarters gunfight, but miraculously their decision did not get them killed and resulted in the return of all American servicemen (dead and alive) from the field of battle.
In the years since the battle both Swenson and Meyer have officially criticized the senior leaders of their unit for their decisions. These reports were met with early resistance, but over time the Army has accepted their truth and officially reprimanded two of the officers involved. An official reprimand is more severe than the name intones. One of this magnitude can easily end an officer's career and force them out of the military. Further accusations were tossed around in military circles and the media that Captain Swenson's MOH nomination was "lost" on purpose. This is the documentation used to determine if an award is given and what that award will be. It must be written by the nominees chain of command ASAP, when those present for the actions are still available (and alive in previous wars) and their recollection of the events are still "clear".
Capt. Swenson's accounts take the criticism a step further, noting discrepancies in the eventually produced report that was used as the official record of events when awarding the MOH to Sgt. Meyer. The first notable discrepancy is who drove the Humvee. At one point in the battle Sgt. Meyer is credited with getting in a Humvee and driving it back into the fight to save wounded comrades and collect the bodies of fallen Americans. Cpt. Swenson disputes the details, stating he was driving the truck and Cpl. Meyer was in the back. The other discrepancy of note is the amount of men Meyer was responsible for saving and the number of enemy he killed. Swenson calls the numbers in the report inflated. Sgt. Meyer and the Marine Corps still defend the currently accepted official record.
The differing accounts gained the attention of the press in 2010-2011. In an independent investigation it was determined that Captain Swenson's version of events was likely more accurate. Recently, new video footage has come to light that further backs up Captain Swenson's story. Despite the controversy over the details, Swenson does not dispute that Meyer deserved the MOH, and Meyer does not dispute that Capt. Swenson deserves one as well. After receiving his medal, Meyer was a vocal supporter of Captain Swenson's right to one as well, stating that not having awarded one to him was a "gross oversight". He is also quoted as saying "If it weren't for him [Swenson], I wouldn't be alive today." Meyer's spokeswoman recently made another statement on his behalf, saying that Capt. Swenson is receiving the award he deserves.
Upon receiving the Medal of Honor, Captain Swenson has requested to return to active duty with the Army. Pending the formalities, he will be commissioned as a captain or major and, finally vindicated, press on with what will no doubt prove to be an impressive military career. The annals of Army history are still being combed through, but right now the Army believes this is the first officer to return to service after receiving an MOH. Meyer took an alternate route, publishing a book about the battle and gaining fame he has used to support the military and veterans through a number of charitable acts. Though Captain Swenson argues that portions of Meyer's book are inaccurate, the book is widely considered to have played a role in Swenson's long awaited recognition.
It is important as Americans and veterans to remember that a piece of paper written years later about a battle in which many died and the survivors were given the biggest medal we could find for them doesn't necessarily reflect the facts as they were, especially given the years of controversy that surrounded it's writing. The politics are so unimportant I almost didn't include them in the story. What's important is what the guys on the ground said, which was pretty clear. It was as tough a fight as fights get. Most everyone was a casualty, and they were outnumbered 20 or 30 to 1. For most of the fight they were short on supplies and without support. Despite the shape of the unit and the odds facing them, a young Army officer thrust into command in the heat of battle and an infantry Marine corporal, the toughest type of Marine manufactured, made the decision to honor the single tradition that makes the American Military so formidable. They did so without fanfare or discussion, and despite the setbacks caused by bad leaders. To them, in the heat of battle, it was self-evident. We never leave a man behind.

LockyPosted in Support Calls on April 1st, 2016
I didn't know what this was until earlier this week when a friend called and asked if I could come and take a look at his machine ( he mentioned something about ransomeware but little ). I've been hearing more of ransomeware in the news attacking hospitals and the like but I personally have not had direct contact with one of these so figured I'd jump in with 2 feet and see what it was all about.
Basically I came in and looked at the machine and saw a bunch of files renamed to hex with the extension of .locky. These are files that are encrypted and contained his important information. There was also a text file that directed me to a web site asking us to pay money and we were given a key to input into the web site. See this web site for WAY more info then you might want but, great info nonetheless.
In short, to recover, I performed a system restore to a date before the attack occurred and I used shadow explorer to locate files that had been impacted and luckily they were still present so using shadow explorer I exported them to a new directory and we were good . We went to each of the directories that contained locky files and exported the saved files out ( I had him validate that the files contents was unaltered and he said they looked fine). He was thankful and I was happy for him because he looked pretty stressed as you can imagine. BitDefeneder and Hitman Pro were on the machine but did nothing to protect it from this variant. I used avast and mcafee stinger to try and detect anything else wrong with the system but they came back clean. I would have thought that maybe the av products might give some sort of warning when they saw the .locky files (ex: locky files have been detected on your system — its possible you are impacted with ransomeware, insert suggestions here). Instead they were silent and passed their scans. I was happy to see them pass and that his machine was not further impacted but kind of surprised, in a way.
I sure hope none of you are hit by this (or any) ransomeware. These things are downright nasty.
Recently, CERT released this warning on ransomware

Reviews for Sonrise Equestrian Foundation
Sonrise Equestrian Therapy has really helped our almost non-verbal kid. Now, he loves Horses can call the Horses names and the command. Its like having Physical , Occupational and Speech Therapy in one place. Thanks to all the Teachers and the Volunteers for doing such an awesome Job.
Sonrise has helped our daughter in so many ways:
Her speech- she has to call out commands to the horses
Her motor skills- She has to have proper form and know how and when to work the reins. Also, latching and unlatching the horse.
Her ADHD- She has to pay attention & focus in the moment when on and around the horses.
Her Anxiety- She has to remain calm when she's around the horses.
Her Social Skills- She interacts with the volunteers & other kids. They have to work together.
My daughter Veronica was 10 years old when she started pulling out her hair, eyelashes, and even her eyebrows. Talk therapy helped a little with her trichotillomania, and then a friend suggested Sonrise Equestrian. After a little bit of shyness around the people (the horses were no problem!), Veronica fit right in. The gentleness of the horses and the loving commitment of the volunteers were exactly what she needed. From helping brush and exercise the horses to cleaning stalls, then riding lessons on to being a volunteer herself, my little girl has grown into a wonderful, loving young lady. She hasn't 'pulled' for quite a while, and the program and people at Sonrise are a huge part of that. Thank you, Sonrise, for all you do!
Sonrise Equestrian Therapy has helped my Twelve year old Autistic son feel awesome. Sonrise offers free riding lessons to my son. He loves the connection he has with the horses there. The volunteers treat everyone like family and are so caring. I never met such loving people like those at Sonrise.
I could see that riding at Sonrise gave my autistic son such a feeling of pride and
competence. The volunteers are patient, kind and encouraging. They are so
experienced, and calm and clear in their directions, that they achieved amazing
cooperation from my son....who can have really difficulties with maintaining attention.
I'm deeply grateful for their work
SonRise is an amazing organization!! My daughter is very lucky to be a part of their program! The volunteers and the horses bring such joy to the kids! This organization is a blessing to many and I am thankful and grateful for all that they do. I love SonRise!
SonRise is a wonderful organization that my daughter has been lucky to be a part of for over 4 years. She's gained so much through this program and it's volunteers. I don't know where she'd be without it. Everyone is so generous and caring.
Our 15 year old intellectually disabled son, Matthew, rides horses at Sonrise on Saturdays. Because of this training, he has been able to horseback ride with our family on trips to Half Moon Bay and Costa Rica. He has no fear and is proud to show off his riding abilities. Thanks to all of the Sonrise staff and volunteers!
My twin girls are benefiting greatly from the Sonrise program. Both girls struggle with many issues relating back to trauma from their pre-adoption situation. Sonrise has given them a place where they feel they belong and they absolutely love their time with the horses. The volunteers are good role models and pour into my girls a sense of accomplishment as they do the various chores and learn about grooming and riding. Sonrise is truly a gift to our family as my girls can be themselves and do something that they love. I can see their self confidence increase as they are more and more comfortable with being with these wonderful animals. Thank you so much Sonrise!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
My daughter has struggled with many issues, including dyslexia, a mood disorder, depression, a major family loss, social issues, and more. On her first day at Sonrise she met other kids with the same issues and finally felt that she could be around people who understood what she goes through. A 10 year old doesn't understand their diagnosis, they just feel terrible and misunderstood. The only time she felt happy was around animals, so Sonrise has given her not only the chance to care for animals, but to also be with peers who understand her, while the staff offer so much more. She often comes home with small awards, that boost her self confidence, for example, she was given a horse puzzle because she was the hardest worker that day.

Solar lights sold
SolarAid is an international charity that combats poverty and climate change. We are providing access to solar lights in some of the most remote regions of the world and building a movement to eradicate the kerosene lamp.
598 million people in Africa alone have no access to electricity. Without electricity families have no clean source of light, leaving millions to rely on expensive and dangerous alternatives. Many use homemade kerosene lamps which are a poor source of light; they emit toxic black smoke, eat up to 15% of a family's income and are extremely hazardous. Children can't study at night, the working day ends prematurely and indoor air pollution presents a serious health hazard.
We are pioneering a truly sustainable model. We created a social enterprise, SunnyMoney, who sell lights via school networks and local enterprises. But why sell them you ask? Well, in short, it allows money to be reinvested back into our work, encourages job creation and ensures money stays in the local economy. With increasing demand for solar, other players begin to enter the market creating more access than ever before. We are establishing a market that will reach far beyond the lights that SunnyMoney sell. A market that will eventually light up an entire continent and leave a lasting energy legacy.
A donation to SolarAid is one of the best value gifts on the planet. Check out our impact calculator to see just how far your donation will stretch.
Visit our Charity Commisions page for more information.
With a solar light, everything changes. These little lamps are safe, clean and affordable. They give off hours of light in the evening so families can earn, learn and feel safe after dark. Just one lamp can transform the fortunes of an entire family and is the first step on an energy ladder to full electrification. They are not the answer to all life's energy problems, but they are available right now, and will ensure the very poorest can begin to develop and prosper without having to wait for a grid system that may never come.
"Which plastic gadget, fitting neatly into one hand, can most quickly improve the lives of the world's poorest people… over the next decade it will be the solar-powered lamp." The Economist
To put it simply, we can do things that conventional businesses can't. We take the time to travel to remote rural communities, educate people about the benefits of solar, instil trust and build demand. All of which costs time and money. We help get lights to the people that need them most - and if they are unable to afford them - then we think of new and innovative ways to help them get on the energy ladder, such as pay as you go solar. We currently make a loss of around £3 on each solar light we sell, which is why we need your support. If we were a conventional business driven by profit, rather than impact, we would continue to ignore the needs of those who need better energy access more than anyone. But there isn't much that is conventional about us, which is no doubt why you're here.

Margaret Carlson: Hillary Stabbed Cuomo in the Back for Presidency
NewsMax was the first to report that Hillary Clinton was indeed running for the President.
Now, the idea of a Hillary Clinton candidacy has moved from laughter to accepted reality.
This past weekend, Margaret Carlson, co-host of CNNs Capital Gang, said on-air that there is no doubt that Hillary is running for the White House.
Carlson, also a TIME magazine columnist, is one of the most connected liberals in Washington.
During the CNN show, Carlson explained why Andrew Cuomo pulled out of the Democratic primary in New York, throwing the race to State Comptroller Carl McCall, an African American.
Carlson said that Hillarys sudden and unusual endorsement of McCall made Cuomos race untenable.
Why did Hillary make the unusual move of making an endorsement when she had previously promised to remain neutral?
Carlson said bluntly, "Hillary's running for president. They [the Clintons] wanted the black vote, and the Clintons just undermined [Cuomo].
Carlson said Hillarys endorsement proves the Clintons will stop at nothing to get back into the White House.
She said the Hillary endorsement demonstrated that "the Clintons will stab you in the back.
Carlson recalled that during the Monica scandal, "The Clintons got [Cuomos] support during impeachment. If one Cabinet secretary had gone off during the Monica thing, Clinton would have been in a lot of trouble. Andrew Cuomo stuck by him.
Cuomo had served as Clintons cabinet secretary at HUD.
Carlson complained, "They should have at least, the very least, remained neutral.
Margie wins the "Duh! of the century award", and the century is still very young.
Oh, boy. Isn't she the quick study? Woo hoo.
You oughta FReep, Margaret. Get ahead of the curve.
That the Clinton are evil backstabbers is not news. That a liberal member of the liberal media admitted that the Clintons are evil backstabbers IS news.
Not Breaking, but it is FrontPage news that she would let this slip on national television, where it could be recorded.
- Gin
Now we have this little act; I wonder how the great Cuomo family feels about the Clintons now?
2002 Dems get easier primary (not tha McCall is going to win), Clintons get to court black vote, Cuomo gets major boost if he waits a few years.
I would have liked it better if this had been Elanor "Rodham" Clift making the statement.
Back Stabbing is on page 3 of the 'Toon's playbook. Page 1 is suicide and page 2 is the old "run over by a train" trick. The "back stab" technique is only brought in if the first two aren't workable.

Margaret is so stupid. It wasn't just Cuomo. All of Klink's gang of rogues stuck by him. Clinton sent them out to lie for him and they did. They put whatever shreds of reputation and honor they had out there and he left them to twist in the wind. Not one of them did the honorable thing and resigned when he pulled the rug out from under them and admitted he lied. They still stuck with him. Bunch of scum, all of them. Cuomo doesn't deserve any sympathy from anyone. He knows what the Clintons are. He made the choice to lie down with the dogs and now the fleas came back to bite him.
Probably too conservative for them. But then they probably consider Ted Kennedy and Diane Feinstein to also be too conservative.
2002 Dems get easier primary (not tha McCall is going to win), Clintons get to court black vote, Cuomo gets major boost if he waits a few years.
Why would she want to leave the Senate to run for president? Lots of sitting senators run for president.
File this broad under "Not Exactly The Sharpest Tool In The Shed"
As the other poster above stated, both the Cuomos and the Clintons are scum. Birds of a feather...
Spare your sympathy for Andrew.
LOL. I'll [blank] say [blank] again. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it never happens. ;>)
- Gin
Hmmm, kind of slow on the uptake, aren't you Margaret? Where have you been for the last 10 years?
Chief Executives (ie: Governors) do.
These cowardly @sses CHOSE to make a Faustian Bargain with Queen of the Damned and defended a rapist and a perjurer during impeachement. Eventually, these lackeys will all end up in the place for which their bargain bought them a ticket: Roasting in Hell. Hell for Scumocrats is being broke, in jail, and/or out elected office. LOL
Hillary is WORSE than its husband. As Jerry Fallwell pointed out with Sean Hannity the other night, at least Bubba put political power over his ideology however leftist that may be. Therefor, a few conservative issues got past him such as welfare reform. To Hillary, however, ideology is everything.
I figure one more really juicy scandal will finish them off. I'm counting on HIM....and he's never disappointed me yet!
Maybe this be the beginning of Cuomo's revenge against the clintbillies.
First, the clintbillies diss the family name against Daddy Cuomo, then work a truce by giving junior a spot in the administration.
THEN, they diss junior by endorsing McCall. Double-dealing clintbillies may just have met their match.
Popular opinion is that the IMPEACHED ex-42 and sinator hillary! are now in charge of NY politics.
I think the jury is still out. methinks the Cuomos still have a lot of favors out there that they can call in. Daddy Cuomo may have had enough.
I'm smaht!!!
Hillary, being a post-menopausal lesbian, does not have the same carnal distractions. She is therefore much more dangerous than her rapist husband.
Wonder if there is a single FReeper who believes otherwise?! Please, if there is anyone out there who STILL believes William Jefferson Blythe Clinton didn't participate in a Conspiracy to Commit the Murder of one or more folks who were once "friends" in his life, please oh please speak up!!
Hey, at least Cuomo escaped his relationship with the Clintons with his life!!
Does the name "Bucky Beaver" have any significance with this picture?

To continue reading this column, enter the nonsensical login and the confusing password you selected when you opened this account. If you don't remember these unintuitive computer-key presses, click on the link below, then type the sloppy code word that you can hardly read because the whole thing really is a smudged mess.
Once you trudge your way through this waste-of-life process, we will email you a temporary password to be captured by your spam filter. But it doesn't matter anyhow because you can't access your alternate email account because you can't remember the password for an account you rarely use.
No problem.
To get access, just answer this question: What was the color of your mother's second bicycle? And then: What town was your first pet born in?
Are you locked out of your life?
Is your mind cluttered from the ridiculous number of passwords and logins you are required to track? Like two different passwords for two email accounts, another for eBay, another for PayPal, another for online banking, and oh yes, another for your medical insurance account, and — guess what? — another for your "best friend" Facebook, and here comes another — to talk on the phone with your cable TV representative.
Of course, passwords rarely follow a uniform set of rules. Some require a minimum number of characters. Some require MiXeD CaSe strings. Some require non-numeric characters like *&% mixed in.
And then there is the mega-time-killing hassle where suddenly you can't get into one of your email accounts because the password just up and expired.
It's your life. You should be able to access it, right?
It's clear we have a big problem having to remember so many computer-key symbols that would make no sense in our everyday out-loud conversations.
We try coping by jotting down various nondescript logins and passwords on random bits of paper we stash in our wallets and purses to have them ready at a moment's notice. But a short while later, we lose them like gum wrappers.
Paying an insurance bill or buying concert tickets should not require huge chunks of time spent typing computer keys or backspacing on tiny cell-phone keypads.
Sure, you need some security to ensure your private information remains private — but this is beyond silly.
And when it comes right down to it: How crack-proof are the logins and passwords really?
Don't most of us just choose one "root" password and then modify it slightly for our various online accounts, to have less to remember when we have to use a computer just to do what should be easy and basic?
Too bad for all of this — because instead of picking the lock on our lives we should be doing almost anything else.

They had our car picked up and we received a call from the trucking company saying they hadn't been paid and that they would put it in an impound lot in Long Beach if we didn't pay them the $150 transport fee. We paid over the phone. Next we got a call from the shipper saying that shipping needed to be paid before the car could be loaded on the boat. It was 4:00 P.M. and their loading deadline was 4:30. We paid $1100 over the phone to get the car on the ship.
When it arrived in Honolulu it was placed in a holding lot because there hadn't been any arrangements made to transport the car to Young Brothers, the only company that ships to Lana'i. the car was accruing daily storage fees after the 3rd day. When we tried to arrange transport ourselves, we were told we weren't listed on the manifest and therefore couldn't take possession of the car.
We called Castle over and over and they would either promise to call back (which they never did), or put us on hold and never come back.
Young Brothers finally took pity on us (WHAT A GREAT COMPANY!!) and had us fax the title and notarized statements to them releasing them from liability, and we took possession of the car.
It took 21/2 months and $1700 to get our car from Long Beach to Lana'i. We have filed a dispute with our bank for the $300 deposit vut is has not been resolved.

I have recently had a lot of problems with them the jeep has been wrecked and they said that we owe $1300.00 on this jeep but the gap insurance was suppose to pay the rest that the insurance did not cover, and they want use to pay it. The only problem is is that they turned in a letter to the dealership gap insurance stating that the car was repoed and they can't get the gap insurance reinstated and I feel that, that is there fault for that happening they are trying to say that they could not contact us, but it is funny how we keep getting statements from them.
The other thing is that I called the insurance company cause they said that the insurance was trying to send us a power of attorney to sign, well guess what there was no power of attorney sent out. I feel that they don't want to track this down and I have made all the call that they should have made, not me. I have spoke to every one in the departments and they tell me now that the since I am not on the account that the account is in my husbands name that they can't release any information to me, which they only want me to do the work give them the information that I have tracked down but they cant release anything else to me because im not on the account, but had no problem all week.
Then Dan the guy in customer service decides to hang up on me, I am not getting anywhere, and Samantha in the gap dept, tells me that I need to have my husband call about the account,and that I need to call these people myself, and that they have closed the case. My husband and I have closed our wallets till they decided to try to do their part and not have me contact everybody. This place has no class and they treat customers like crap. I want to file a suit against them.

2010 Rising Stars home page
Kathleen Druitt has a passion for project management. As the information systems manager for the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board and project manager for FederalReporting.gov, she's had plenty of opportunity to exercise those skills.
In 2009, Druitt became the driving force behind launching the board's primary project when she was given the job of setting up the FederalReporting.gov and Recovery.gov Web sites — complete with the pressure of tight deadlines and a very interested White House.
"I love watching things get accomplished, putting everything together, working on the fine details, finding the risks, seeing what could be coming down the line soon," she said.
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, agencies must show how they've spent stimulus money and what it has done for the country's economy. That means that the more than 80,000 companies and organizations that have received federal funding must report how they're using the money at FederalReporting.gov. From there, the information transfers to Recovery.gov, where it is translated into easy-to-understand maps and colorful charts for the public to peruse.
However, weeks before the official launch, Druitt discovered that no one had tested the two sites' systems to make sure they were properly integrated to transmit data.
As the board's then-chief project officer, Druitt worked overtime with her team to make the systems talk to each other. She enlisted the involvement of the board's executives, contractors and colleagues from other agencies. When Druitt interrupted one man at a party to help her resolve some issues, she had to ask him to put his phone on mute because of the background noise.
They built the systems during the day and tested them at night, she said, adding, "All I could do was work and sleep."
Board officials say they couldn't have done it without Druitt. She saved the project, said James Warren, the board's chief information officer.
"Boy, were we lucky when we found Kathleen," said Mike Wood, director of Recovery.gov. "She quickly became the backbone of the whole project."
Druitt previously worked at the Transportation Security Administration, but she said the board reminded her more of her experience in the heady world of tech start-up companies. The dynamic nature of launching a company gives the work a certain intensity, and everyone involved has an air of excitement about them, she said.
Similarly, the recovery board needed to award a contract for the Web sites in less than a month. Time was the primary issue, she said.
To be successful, Druitt and Warren said they had to write clear requirements for the request for proposals because miscommunications between the board and the contractor could have had disastrous effects. Druitt said she made sure she spent enough time on getting the requirements right, even though she was under pressure to keep the project moving. They had to define their project's scope, have a definite end date and ensure that they had an agile team doing the work, she said.
In the end, the board awarded a contract July 10, 2009, to build Recovery.gov, and work on the project started the same day. FederalReporting.gov launched Aug. 17, 2009, and Recovery.gov went live Sept. 28, 2009.

Skip to comments.Obama Ineligible! Born in Mombasa!
Posted on 08/23/2008 4:13:54 AM PDT by solfour
Plaintiff Philip J. Berg, Esquire [hereinafter Plaintiff] hereby offers this Memorandum in support of his motion for a temporary restraining order, to enjoin Defendant Barack Hussein Obama, a/k/a Barry Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Soetoro, a/k/a Barry Dunham, a/k/a Barack Dunham [hereinafter Obama] from running for the office of President of the United States; to enjoin Defendant, Democratic National Committee from Nominating Defendant Barack Hussein Obama, a/k/a Barry Obama, a/k/ a Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Soetoro, a/k/a Barry Dunham, a/k/a Barack Dunhams and placing his name on the ballot for Presidential election, and for expedited discovery in this case.
Plaintiffs Complaint challenges Defendant Obamas eligibility to run for the C:\Documents and Settings\Geoff\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\RUX63DMN\ObamaMemSupportTRO082108 (2).doc 1 Office of President.
Defendant Obama is unqualified and ineligible to run for United States Office of the President, as he is not a natural born citizen as required by Article II, Section I of the United States Constitution. The Democratic National Committee [hereinafter DNC] has failed to perform due diligence, and to verify the eligibility of Defendant Obama to run for the office of President of the United States. As set out in Plaintiffs Complaint, to allow Defendant Obama to continue running for Office of the President will violate the United States Constitution and Laws, which our forefathers set out to protect.
Plaintiff seeks focused and expedited discovery, so that he can demonstrate to the Court, as soon as possible, the full breadth of innocent people affected by Defendant Obamas fraudulent campaign.
(Excerpt) Read more at obamacrimes.com ...
If Obama was ANY WAY ineligible Hillary would have found out long ago and pulled the plug on him. Remember the Klintoons have a vast network of private eyes working for them 24/7
God....that's funny!
He reminds me of Rage Boy in that pic.
Thanks for the FRmail...
Have there been others who put out a forged birth certificate?
At least until late October/early November...
They'll write in Alan Keyes?
Looks like he was practicing for his next date with Larry Sinclair.
The complain link works, but I see only pages 1 & 5. Some of the other posts indicate that they are reading much more. Why do I see only pages 1 & 5?
The "Read More Here" link doesn't work here in Shanghai.
The "Philip J. Berg" link doesn't work here in Shanghai.
100% agreed.
This is that self-same lawyer fellow.
He is a Democrat and pro Clinton.I don't think a court will decide that Hussein has to produce a valid copy of his birth certificate because that would be requiring the defendant to prove his innocence.
Yet I'd be required to prove I'm legal to work in the USofA to be a dishwasher? Isn't being Commander in Chief slightly more importatan than dishwashing?
What makes him so special that we have to just trust that he's legally qualified for us to hire him for the job?
At a minimum, just like you and me, he needs to prove that he can legally work in the America.
Sauce for the goose...
But he's not muslim. He merely picked a muslim name for himself after he was Barry Soetoro when his commie mommie split the blanket with Lolo.
Osama bin Laden
Obama bi den
I'm sure some clever FReeper can do a morph...
Name one.
(Hint, you can't, there aren't any)
It was filed Thurs., 8/21.
Great graphic. :)
That's what the State Department does in fact say. However, the relevant legislation currently says that you lose your citizenship not only by formally renouncing as the State Department provides, but also by serving as an official of a foreign government, or also by acquiring an alternative citizenship with the intention of renouncing your US citizenship. This last could be a problem for Obama if he had to formally renounce US citizenship to the Indonesian government to get his Indonesian passport.
I don't know what it said in 1981, though.
Couldn't this have waited until after his coronomination?
***We'll just take our time, SlowBoat.
And Obama people will turn on her. Besides, I don't think this suit will hold up the Dem convention. He will be nominated and then...
The point of this action is not to get a judge to force OBama to produce a B.C. that probably cant happen. The point is to produce doubts in voters heads and especially in delegates heads at the convention. Producing doubts in voters produces angst in delegates."
So you think that Hillary will get the nod because of this?
the Federal courts have handed down a number of rulings which have resulted in it becoming very *difficult* to lose one's US citizenship.Unless he renounced his citizenship *before a US State Department official* that renunciation wouldn't be valid...wouldn't be recognized.An important case is Action and Deltamar v. Rich, 951 F.2d 504. There the court ruled that Marc Rich (yes that Marc Rich) retained his American citizenship despite specifically renouncing it in a Spanish naturalization oath.
The court ruled that Rich's subsequent actions, including using his US passport, showed that he had no intention of giving up his American citizenship.
Rich wasn't running for President.
Forgive my inability to keep up with the man of many faces.
Thanks LucyT.
FactCheck's photos of Obama's birth certificate
just proved that their posted image of it was forged
The Greater Evil | 08/21/2008 | Polarik

The 7 faces of Dr Laobama
That is because the law is written that way. There is no law that you have to prove your citizenship to run for office though in more and more states you can be required to prove your citizenship.
Obama = Mets fan :)
At this point I'd settle for him proving - with valid documents! - that he can legally work in these United States.
They make all of us, rich or poor, free or bond, prove that we have the proper paperwork to get a job.
An employer faces heavy fines if they fail to get proof of eligibility from a new employee.
WE employ our politicians.
No proof. No job.
The exact same standard they hold us to.
I hope that the fuss made now about O'Bama will get that into law, that candidates for office must prove their citizenship.
Clintons are trying hard. Maybe it will work. Maybe Obeamer will lose at the convention and someone else entirely will get the nod. Maybe.The movie isn't fun to watch if we know how it will end.
If Obama has a proper birth certificate, why didn't he present it long, long ago? If Factcheck has a COLB proving Obama was born in Hawaii, when will they let a third party look at it? If Obama became an Indonesian citizen by adoption, was that ever renounced -- or does he plan to do so before November 4th? And even if renounced, does that make Obama a re-"naturalized" citizen, not a "natural born" citizen? These and other questions need answers. If there are simple answers, let's hear / see them.
If a Dem asks these questions in federal court before the convention, any backlash by angry Obamites will be focused upon Hillary. If it falls to McCain supporters after the convention, the GOP will take the brunt of Obamites' wrath.
a "Thanx for the ping" bump!!!
He's definitely eligible to lose the Presidential election in my book as well.
I think part of Berg's complaint is that, if Obama's mother was less than 18 when Barack was born, then she was not considered an adult, and hence unable to confer citizenship.
MUCH Thanks for sending the whole Enchilada.
She keeps creeping back from the grave like Michael Meyers.
I hate horror movies.
You're very welcome.

Setting the BP textarea to "hidden" lets one update the activity and attach media, but I loose the ability the BP textarea provieds, such as @autosuggest.
Hiding the BP Media textarea brings back that, but won't let me send activity updates and displays the Attach Media button wierd.
I don't know what they changed in RC1, but it seems to be broken since that update.

A game like this was almost expected, the result of Alabama being faced, week after week, with a gauntlet of rested teams, thanks to the SEC office's inability (or lack of desire) to address unfair scheduling practices.
And in this case, the Crimson Tide nearly paid the price for the circumstances outside its control.
Every season, one or two teams seem to rise above their typical watermarks and give Alabama a tougher game than it would otherwise appear on paper.
Alabama is hoping Ole Miss filled the role in Week 3, but in 2009, that team was Tennessee, then led by a young head coach named Lane Kiffin. It took two blocked field goals by DT Terrence Cody, the second coming as time ran out, for Alabama to hold onto the win and eventually play for a national championship.Continue reading …
Between a heavy concentration of returning starters, improved recruiting and some of the best offensive skill talent in the conference, Tennessee is hoping it can finally lift itself out of the doldrums it's been in for at least the last eight seasons. Roughly from the time Nick Saban arrived at Alabama, Tennessee has been irrelevant in the SEC. The 2015 Volunteer team is still not perfect; the offensive line, while experienced, wasn't good in 2014, the defense has some holes up the middle and the book is still out on Butch Jones as both an x's-and-o's coach and a program leader. But things are looking up.Continue reading …
If win-loss records were determined by bravado and bull hockey, Tennessee's Butch Jones would have a team in the national title game every year. Jones has done a good job selling the illusion of improvement, but the Vols had better hope he can continue to recruit well – because success in the present day isn't coming. Tennessee might have the league's worst offensive and defensive lines simultaneously, certainly a first for this program and maybe the first for any SEC program not named Vanderbilt. Aside from a few bright spots at receiver and an above-average linebacker corps, Tennessee doesn't have much. Hitting .500 this season would be a major accomplishment.Continue reading …
For a period of time about 15 years ago or so, the SEC football world revolved around Florida and Tennessee.
Phil Fulmer had built the Volunteers into a powerhouse, putting out NFL players left and right and – at least in years he could get by Steve Spurrier's Florida team – annually threatening the top of the AP and Coaches' polls. In addition, Tennessee enjoyed a cozy relationship with the SEC office, and there was little hiding the fact that Tennessee wanted to consign Alabama to the SEC's second tier, or worse.
Funny what a difference a decade makes.Continue reading …
The Derek Dooley era is over in Knoxville, but the aftereffects of his regime will continue to be felt for at least a couple of years. Tennessee comes into 2013 at a severe talent disadvantage to most of its rivals, and is also both changing its defensive scheme and rebuilding on offense. Were it not for the lucky accident of having the most talented offensive line in the conference, Tennessee would be a candidate to lose 10 or 11 games. As it is, the Volunteers will have to scratch to equal last year's 5-7 mark, and will need at least two significant upsets to get bowl-eligible. Add to this the uncertainty of just how good new coach Butch Jones really is, and the Vols could be on their way to the SEC East cellar once again.Continue reading …

First Look: Apple iPod nanoPocket-lint
Of all the devices that Apple refreshed at its September music event, it is the iPod nano that has had the most extreme makeover. Gone are the controls and the elongated screen, and in comes a square touchscreen design in its place. We got our hands on the new iPod nano at the launch event, and this is what we thought.
The iPod nano exhibits all the hallmarks of Apple's attention to detail. It is not only lovingly crafted from aluminium, but it looks and feels like a premium device. We're used to this sort of design and build quality from Apple, so this doesn't come as a surprise.
But we also loved the last iteration of the nano. The slender curving front and back nestled between the fingers, with a bright vibrant screen and those controls which made it easy to skip around the menus and find what you were looking for.
Gone now are those controls and that screen, to be replaced by a 1.54-inch, 240 x 240 pixel resolution display. Given the size of the display, the resolution makes things look nice and crisp, which is important, because this is going to be the interface that gives you all the text as well as all the images.
In terms of controls you now have volume controls on the top and single sleep button. Navigation of the touchscreen is simply a case of swiping your finger, with a back swipe letting you return to the last place you were. Although navigation is easy enough when standing playing with the device at a product expo, it changes the nature of the nano to a degree.
You won't just be able to tap the button to skip to a new track, or pause the music, although if you have a set of headphones that incorporate an Apple remote then this isn't such an issue. Apple has always put the nano forward as an ideal partner for sports and one of the great things was pressing the controls through a cover on an armband so it was weatherproof.
Something tells us that the new nano won't be quite as adept a sports partner as the old model. What you can do, though, is clip it on to your clothes. This is fine, but we suspect that for many they won't want to be seen wearing what looks like a badge showing their album art. At the same time, this being Apple, we wouldn't be surprised if this became something of cult fashion.
You can rotate the screen however, so it doesn't matter which way up it is clipped, and this is a practical consideration. The question is how much time you spend looking at something once it is clipped in place and whether control is as easy on the move once clipped in place.
Swiping through the various pages you basically have the same offering as previous nanos, but an obvious omission is the video camera that made an appearance last year. This wasn't mentioned at all by Apple, so we can only assume that as an experiment it didn't really work. Either that, or Apple wants you to move to the iPod touch for your video needs.
Sticking to music you are well catered for though, with playlists and Genius slotting into place and further navigation by song, artist, genre, etc, on offer. There is a radio too, which will be welcomed by commuters and those who like a little variety outside of their own music collection. You can also pause live radio for up to 15 minutes although we didn't get to test this out.
Getting back to the sports focus there is support for Nike+ and we also found a pedometer hiding in the menu, so you can set yourself a step goal across the day. You get to browse photos with slideshow functions, although obviously it is always going to be really small.
Overall dimensions of the new nano measure 40.9 x 37.5 x 8.78mm and it weighs just 21g. It will come in 8 or 16GB capacities and in a choice of colours.
First Impressions
Now the dust has settled from the announcement of what seemed like an extraordinary device, we can't help feeling there is something of a gap in Apple's MP3 player range. The shuffle is certainly more practical with the buttons added back on, but now we have a button-less nano and the nano had been sort of, well, ordinary.
From the way we've used the iPod nano as an MP3 player for running, we don't think it is going to be as practical to skip tracks with a fleeting press whilst on the go. But that's only one aspect of the nano's target audience and we're sure there will be plenty who like the new touch controls. We'll be giving the new iPod nano a thorough going over.

By Pete Kasperowicz
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) won a rare legislative victory on Wednesday when the House passed his legislation allowing for a full audit of the Federal Reserve, including an audit of the Fed's monetary policy decisions.
The House approved Paul's Federal Reserve Transparency Act, H.R. 459, in a bipartisan 327-98 vote. The vote split Democrats almost evenly — 89 for and 97 against — while only one Republican, Rep. Robert Turner (R-N.Y.), voted against it.
The bill won an easy majority, given its 270 cosponsors, and easily cleared the two-thirds majority needed for passage, which was required because it was considered under a suspension of the rules.
Paul, who has yet to officially drop out of the 2012 presidential race, has long sought to dismantle the Fed based on arguments that the Fed's power to create money has devalued the dollar. He also says the Fed hurts Americans by making them vulnerable to Fed-induced housing and stock market bubbles, and more recently, that the Fed reacted to the recession by creating billions of dollars to bail out financial institutions.
But with little appetite in Congress to abolish the Fed, Paul is hoping that increasing the transparency of the Fed's monetary policy decision-making process can at least give Americans more understanding of the decisions it makes.
"The bill essentially removes the prohibitions against a full audit," Paul said during Tuesday's debate on the bill. He was referring to current rules that allow the Government Accountability Office to audit most aspects of the Fed, but not monetary policy decisions.
"To audit, we should know what kind of transactions there are," Paul said. "We should know about the deals that they made when they were fixing the price of LIBOR. These are the kinds of things that have gone on for years that we have no access to."
The New York Fed said this month that it knew London banks were under-reporting their borrowing costs, which altered the reported London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and was thought to be something that boosted profits for those banks.
On Tuesday, Paul rejected charges that requiring a deeper audit of the Fed's monetary policy decisions would open up the Fed to political pressure to make certain decisions preferred by Congress. He said the Fed has already shown itself to be politicized by bailing out some financial institutions, but not others.
"It's very political when you have a Federal Reserve that can bail out one company and not another company," Paul said. "That's pretty political."
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said he agreed with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, who said earlier this month that congressional review of Fed decisions would be a "nightmare scenario." Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) also warned that even the perception of congressional interference would create uncertainty for financial market participants.
"They will see it as political interference, not with the contracting procedures, not with the budget, not with how many cars they have, but with how they decide on interest rates," Frank said. "And the perception that the Congress is going to politicize the way in which interest rates are set will in itself have a destabilizing effect."
Republicans countered that Congress transferred some of its power to the Fed, and needs a greater understanding of some of the unprecedented decisions the Fed made during the economic crisis in 2008.
"In recent years, the Fed's extraordinary interventions into the economy's fiscal markets have led some to call into question its independence," House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said. "We do not ask for an audit for that reason, we ask for an audit because the American people ultimately must be able to hold the Fed accountable, and to do so, they must know at least in retrospect what the Fed has done over these many years."
Paul's bill faces a murky future in the Senate, where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) does not have any intentions of bringing it up. A companion measure, introduced by Paul's son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), has garnered 22 Republican cosponsors.Sen. Paul hailed his father as at "the vanguard of this movement," dating back to when he first introduced a Fed audit bill in 1983. He also put pressure on Democratic leaders in the Senate to bring it up for a vote.
"I call upon Democrat leadership to allow a vote in the Senate on this much-needed transparency bill," he said.

So about 15 mins had past & no one came out to close down the pump. I went back in to tell them how slippery it was & again they said, they would be right out. I went to wash up, as I was feeling the burn on my feet. Then went back out to my car. I drove off & still no one came. I went home to take a shower & try to get the gas off my clothes. I went back & still the pump was not closed down!! Now how responsible is this? I just can't believe they wouldn't shut it down before someone else get gas all over them -- OR worse -- falls from the ground being slippery!!

Looking for a Used Avenger in your area?
CarGurus has 6,167 nationwide Avenger listings starting at $2,500.
2008 Dodge Avenger Overview
The 2008 Dodge Avenger and its twin, the Chrysler Sebring, resemble a midsize Charger. This is Chrysler's challenge to the Accord, Altima, Fusion, and G6. Three trim lines - the SE, SXT, and R/T - all come standard with front-wheel drive. Late in the model year, an all-wheel-drive version of the 3.5-liter R/T will be available. Handling is typical of midsize front-wheel-drive cars: smooth, with controlled body roll and understeer.
The Avenger is available with three engines. The SE and SXT come standard with a 173-hp, 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder that provides an adequate driving experience. The midline engine is a 189-hp, 2.7-liter V6 that provides more fun for drivers and also runs on E85 ethanol. The R/T's 235-hp, 3.5-liter V6 takes only 7.5 seconds to get from 0 to 60 mph; its six-speed automatic is fast and smooth.
Standard safety equipment includes front airbags, side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags. The SXT is the only trim that features standard ABS brakes, and then the rear brakes are drums. ESP stability control and traction control are options on the SXT and R/T and will be standard on the AWD R/T.
The new Avenger boasts an interior wonderland with many improvements to that of the 2000 edition. The interior is roomier, with widely adjustable front bucket seats, and comes standard with a tilting, telescoping steering wheel.
One quickly notices a bin on the passenger side of the well-laid-out dashboard - the "Chill Zone" is a standard feature on all models. It uses the air-conditioning system to cool the Chill Zone's contents down to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and it accommodates four 12-ounce beverage cans nicely. An optional center console cup holder heats a container up to 140 degrees or cools it down to 35 degrees.
The new Avenger also features MyGIG - a 20-gigabyte hard drive. It holds navigation data, but can also store up to 1,600 songs from inserted CDs, along with photos you can display on the navigation system. Back-seat residents have their own optional DVD entertainment system that uses a small swing-up screen on the rear end of the center console.
And the new Avenger even offers room for cargo! The 60/40-split folding rear seats and an optional front-folding seat allow for 8-foot-long cargo. The trunk measures 13.3 cubic feet and has a relatively low lift-over height for the rear bumper.

Best Hotel Breakfast on Earth
read moreread less
The Shangri-La Hotel has the greatest breakfast in the world, and the best part is: it's free. Fruits from all over the world were so fresh and delicious, they set a new mark for quality. There were breakfast foods available for every culture including pancakes and bacon, fried rice and spring rolls, cheese and pastry, and just about anything else you can imagine. Before hitting the buffet, a waiter asks if you want coffee or tea, and then delivers an entire pot of either. A fantastic addition to a hotel with the most comfortable pillows and softest spa bathrobes.
