President Opens Second-Term Drive Against Climate Change
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 3:58 a.m.
WASHINGTON | Appealing for courageous action "before it's too late," President Barack Obama launched a major second-term drive Tuesday to combat climate change and secure a safer planet, bypassing Congress as he sought to set a cornerstone of his legacy.
Abandoning his suit jacket under a sweltering sun at Georgetown University, Obama issued a dire warning about the environment: Temperatures are rising, sea level is climbing, the Arctic ice is melting and the world is doing far too little to stop it. Obama said the price for inaction includes lost lives and homes and hundreds of billions of dollars.
"As a president, as a father and as an American, I'm here to say we need to act," Obama said. "I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that's beyond fixing."
At the core of Obama's plan are new controls on new and existing power plants that emit carbon dioxide -- heat-trapping gases blamed for global warming. The program also will boost renewable energy production on federal lands, increase efficiency standards and prepare communities to deal with higher temperatures. Obama called for the U.S. to be a global leader in the search for solutions.
But Obama's campaign will face extensive obstacles, including a complicated, lengthy process of implementation and the likelihood that the limits on power plants will be challenged in court. Likewise, the instantaneous political opposition that met his plan made clear the difficulty the president will face in seeking broad support.
"There will be legal challenges. No question about that," former EPA Administrator Christie Whitman said in an interview. "It's a program that's largely executive. He doesn't need Congress. What that does, of course, is make them (Congress) madder."
Obama also offered a rare insight into his deliberations on whether to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline, deeming it in America's interests only if it doesn't worsen carbon pollution. Obama has faced intense political pressure from supporters and opponents of the 1,200-mile pipeline from Canada to Texas.
Declaring the scientific debate over climate change and its causes obsolete, Obama mocked those who deny that humans are contributing to the warming of the planet.
"We don't have time for a meeting of the flat-earth society," Obama said.
Obama's announcement followed years of inaction by Congress to combat climate change. A first-term effort by Obama to use a market-based approach called cap-and-trade to lower emissions failed, and in February a newly re-elected Obama issued lawmakers an ultimatum in his State of the Union: "If Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will."
Republicans on both sides of the Capitol dubbed Obama's plan a continuation of his "war on coal" and "war on jobs."

Sounds Great right. But Then I Started to win Approximately $2,300.00 in Apple Gift Cards. And Was Saving them all for Apple Products for My Kids Christmas presents. I Was excited.
Then Around late September ALL the Apple gifts I was winning or "Out right buying" Stopped coming. This Totaled $450.00 to date.
Every week I started to contact them about the matter, & they told me to ask my kids if the picked it up in the mail. I responded NO & are you kidding me!! Then I started to send the email contacts 3-4 times a week with the same response.
As Christmas got nearer I would contact them Every Day and give them a count down of how many days left until Christmas. This Is when they just Stopped responding to me. I conveyed to them the importance of receiving them, $450.00 of APPLE GIFT CARDS, To make my kids Christmas a wonderful one. No response.
I even told them I would Extend the Olive branch & I Purchased 500 More Bids, to which I won Nothing. Just to hopefully get what IS Owed to me.
They are ripping me off not just on "Won" Items, But also on "Purchased" Items. I Want My $450.00 Worth of Apple Gift Cards ASAP Deal Dash I Warned You If I Did Not Recive Them OR at least An Explanation I would go Viral with My Story. This IS Just The START... George ILLVOODOOYOU

Here is a list of all the Wixel apps we know about:
Apps in the Pololu version of the Wixel SDK. The Pololu Wixel SDK has over 20 apps that do a variety of things. Some of them are documented in the user's guide and available in the "Wixel Apps" section of the Wixel User's Guide. All of them have comments at the top of the main .c file explaining how to use them.
xDrip. xDrip is a project that allows you to see your blood glucose levels on an Android phone. The Wixel code for talking to the Dexcom radio transmitter can be found in the StephenBlackWasAlreadyTaken/wixel-xDrip repository on github.
radio_multi library by Geoff. Allows for multi-Wixel communication without changing channels. Uses ACK packets.
wireless_serial_channel app by Geoff. This modified version of the Wireless Serial App is capable of changing its radio channel at run time, allowing it to communicate with more than one Wixel. It was used as part of Project Tabletop in order to control multiple m3pi robots from a single Wixel connected to a computer.
WS2812B LED app by ekholm. This app uses SPI and DMA to control WS2812B LED strips.
Makefiles for use outside of wixel-sdk by ekholm. This isn't really an app, but these Makefiles allow you to build a Wixel app in its own directory outside of the Wixel SDK.
Quiz Button App by attackcrow. This is designed for Jeopardy-style quiz games, and allows you to determine which participant pressed their button first.
I/O Repeater Network by Carlo Bernaschina. This is a modified version of the I/O repeater app that uses Carlo's radio_network library. The radio_network library is a modified version of radio_queue that allows for a network of Wixels, each with its own address. Each Wixel maintains a routing table that helps it relay packets from one Wixel in the network to another.
I/O Repeater address-based by Carlo Bernaschina. This is a modified version of the I/O repeater app that demonstrates how to use the address-filtering feature of the CC2511 radio to filter out packets that are not intended for that Wixel. It uses the radio_address library that Carlo wrote in order to set up the filtering.
Wireless Servo Widget by Martan. This project allows a single master Wixel to control up to 64 slaves, with each slave controlling up to 6 servos. Martan also sells a Slave Widget Breakout Board that makes it easy to connect servos to the slave Wixels. Martan also posted about the project on this forum.
usb_msd app by VolAnd. Turns the Wixel into a USB SD card reader/writer.
snes_controller app by kevinwchang. Reads the signals from an Super NES controller and implements a USB HID interface, so you can have a USB SNES controller.
gg_button app by kevinwchang. When an input line is triggered, sends key codes to the computer that make it chat "gg" to all players and leave a Starcraft 2 game. Implements a USB Human Interface Device.
zelda_chest app by kevinwchang. This was part of a battery-powered system that mimics a chest from the Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When the chest is opened, the Wixel triggers a sound to start using one of its I/O lines. When an item is removed from the chest, the Wixel triggers a different sounds to start. Two sensors are used to detect if the chest is open and whether there is an item in the chest.
Apps under development:
test_radio_sleep app by slasi. Shehryar Lasi has added functions to the Wixel libraries for stopping the radio and putting the Wixel to sleep, and made this app for testing it.
general_joystick app by pdg137. Allows you to make a joystick with up to 8 buttons and 6 axes. Implements a USB Human Interface Device.
Timer and PWM apps by dpark83. dpark83 wrote a library for working with Wixel timers and these are his apps for testing the library.
If you want to use one of these apps, the best way is to download the entire Wixel SDK that the app is from, which guarantees you will have the same versions of the Wixel libraries that the app was developed for.
If you're a git user, you might want to get all of our latest changes to the SDK and also be able to compile the 3rd party app. You can do this using the "git pull" command. Here's an example sequence of commands that clones our repository and then pulls changes from a 3rd party repository:
git clone -o pololu git://github.com/pololu/wixel-sdk.git
cd wixel-sdk
git remote add slasi https://github.com/slasi/wixel-sdk.git
git pull slasi master
Please note that the resulting merged SDK will not have been tested by Pololu or by the 3rd party, so it is more likely to have problems.
If you wrote an app, please make a new topic in the Wixel forum and let us know about it!

Flip Wilson: What you saw wasn't all you got
Forty years ago, Flip Wilson was the biggest thing in television.
In its first two seasons on NBC, "The Flip Wilson Show" was the second-most watched program on TV. His comic characters spawned two of the medium's hottest catchphrases, "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get!" (The latter lives on in its acronym, a computer application that allows you to see what a document you're working on will look like - WYSIWYG.) He jump-started the careers of the two biggest names in comedy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In January 1972, Time magazine had him on the cover, calling him "TV's First Black Superstar." »Read Full Article

Preseason lists for awards and honors are hit or miss, as they are based completely upon past performances. They do not account for dark-horse players and potential.
This time, Phil Steele nailed it when it comes to Alabama players.
He gave appropriate recognition to Alabama players and didn't get too carried away in the high-potential, low-experience players.
Don't get me wrong. I have found the list to be extremely flawed in many aspects (such as listing South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney on the fourth team), but not when it comes to Steele's opinion on the boys in crimson.
Here's a link to Steele's preseason All-American list (philsteele.com).
What exactly did Steel get right? I'll show you.
This is only a look at Steele's preseason All-American list, not his preseason All-SEC list.

Anyhow merely googling foreclosure and lost notes I had the answer I needed. Multiple case are being thrown out of court by judges who recognize that the company cannot prove ownership if it can't produce the original (Note). The (Note) is the legal promissory note one signs when they get their mortgage.
There is only ever one (Note) signed over the life of a loan regardless how many times the (Note) is sold.
Deutsche Bank and its affiliates are at the top of the ladder when it comes to losing these notes. Mass purchasing of mortgages between the years 2003 and 2006 led to a lot of shortcuts including the failure to obtain proper documents. The documents that they did obtain they did not wish to store because the storage fee was over $45,000.00 a month to do so. Oh cry me a river, as it is so sad that a company who makes billions off of those with sleezy tactics finds a dollar amount asscociated with business a waste ot time.
So please everyone out on ripoff check your papers carefully. IF THE NOTE IS LOST THEY CAN'T PROVE THEY OWN IT This means they cannont foreclose. Good Luck to all.

Fake App Reviews Are More Common On iTunes, But Google Play Has The "Worst" Offenders
Contrary to popular opinion, iOS applications have more fake reviews than apps on Android.

The company speculates that Google Play's requirement of a Google+ user… Read More

The Lake Auburn Community Center is located at 115 North Auburn Road at the historic West Auburn Farm site, now 6 acres with about 275 feet of road frontage. It serves as the gateway to Auburn's community forest surrounding lake Auburn for the neighboring community and to local clubs and organizations. The Perkins Ridge Sno-Travelers currently store their trail groomer and signing inventory on site. Also Cub Scout Packs from Auburn and Turner have used the property and others are encouraged to do so. Additional future uses include a tree nursery (already in progress) and a two hundred year old barn ( 34 x 36 ) restoration project that will bring meeting rooms and storage opportunities for clubs and organizations. The property is owned by the Lake Auburn Watershed Neighborhood Association (LAWNA) a 501c3 charitable organization established in August of 2007 and managed by the independent Lake Auburn Community Center committee.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
American Mint is owned by a Germany Company HMK GmBH. Initially, most coins were ordered from a Germany Company Munz-Pragstatt GmBH Munchen (referred to as MPM). Although still not worth much, the collectible coins were of much better quality. As a coin line becomes more successful, we send the Germany coins to China to be copied! MPM has no idea we get coins from China or we send THEIR coins to China to be copied. The China coins are crap. The quality is horrible as you can see real distinct color differences. But here is the bottom line...here is a typical American Mint promotion...this special whatever named coin for only $4.95 plus shipping.
Okay here is where the fun begins. Say the coin was a regular gold layered or silver layered copper nickel bought by them from China. Usually these coins will cost American Mint approximately .80-$1.50. The are charging $4.95 for the coin PLUS $4.95 shipping and handling. This would be a total of $9.90. They use FedEx Smartpost as a their shipper and can ship anywhere in the U.S. under a pound for about $1.74. Total cost to American Mint approximately $3.00. At $9.90 that is over a 300% profit.
When a customer orders one of these promotional coins, they are entered into a "subscription" program. They can opt out of this but it is buried in the small print. In about three weeks the customer will receive another collectible in the series of coins. This is where American Mint makes their money. These subscription coins are often sold at $79.95. Often they are the same China coins bought by American Mint for .80-$1.50. Now that is quite a profit.
They put "Certificates of Authenticity" with each coin. What a joke especially for real United States currency coins they sell. For years and years they advertised and certified these coins as being in Extremely Fine condition. An example of this was a promotion they ran with the 1907 Indian Head Penny. The certificates stated they were in extremely fine condition. The coins were never graded. I probably verified several thousands of these coins in my time there. Based on the coin red book most of these were good or very good condition. The difference in price for good-very good and extremely fine is about $8.00.
In fact they were selling this way for years until they got worried about False Advertising. So what they had me do is reinsert new certificates into the coins saying they were good or very good condition. No attempt was made to tell the customers they were misled. This occurred many times with Franklin Half Dollars, Peace Dollars, Morgan Dollars, and Indian Head Pennies. Probably thousands and thousands of these coins went out in "extremely fine" condition.
If you are buying real coins you are probably better off going to a local coin dealer as American Mint marks up real currency as much as 50% of their cost. Beware of this company...I learned the hard way all about them. I'm currently drafting 51 letters to the Attorney General of each State and Washington D.C. To outline other business practices they may be interested in!!
I wouldn't buy anything from this company unless you have money to burn!! : )

Skill Level Beginner
Perhaps one of the most helpful types of resources you can add into your course is the label. Now we've seen labels already previously in the course when we added these, where we added these subheadings, like LECTURE MATERIALS and we added this map onto here. Basically, what a label does, it allows you to display content directly in your Moodle course on the front page without having to have the students click into that resource to go and explore more information; it allows you to present it right there on the front page. Now, in this video I'm going to show you how to use a label to display a custom Google map directly on the front page of your course.
As part of this course, our students are going to be traveling to Belize during their spring break, and they're going to need to know about the barrier reef system and about the atolls that are off the coast of Belize, so let's go ahead and create a custom map where they can display that information. To begin with, go ahead and scroll down to the bottom of Week 1 and click the dropdown menu for Add a resource. Here we'll go ahead and select Label from the dropdown menu. The Label resource is very simple. There's a space for you to add the label text or any label content that you want displayed on the front page and then one simple item for Visible, and that allows you to show or hide that item.
It's a pretty simple type of resource. So in this case, let's go ahead and type right into the Label text area "Map of the Barrier Reef and Atolls of Belize." Go ahead and select that text. We'll give it a designation of Heading 2 to make it standout a little bit more, and then we'll also go ahead and color the text. In this case hit the dropdown menu for Color and under More colors, go ahead and type in the color of #990000.
This is the same red color that we've been using for a lot of our subheadings. Go ahead and hit apply and we can see that that color has been applied. At the end of the line, click your mouse and then hit Return one time. This will bring the mouse cursor down to the next line. Now to add the Google map, we're going to need to do a trick of going into the HTML view, so hit the button for Edit HTML Source. This will bring up the standard HTML Editor for this particular source file, and what we're going to do is we're going to paste in some code that we're going to go and get from Google Maps.
Now let's go ahead and get that code. So in your browser, go ahead and press Command+T, or Ctrl+T, to open a new tab and point the URL to maps.google.com. This should bring up the basic Google Maps page within your browser. We're going to navigate in this down to Belize. It should be down here just underneath of the Yucatan Peninsula in Central America. Go ahead and double-click a few times to zoom your map down until you're able to see the barrier reef system here in Belize.
Let's go ahead and zoom out just a little bit, a few more clicks. We want to see this barrier reef system and these different atolls that are out here. Next we want to get the code that will allow us to embed this map into our page. So if you come up to the upper right-hand side of the map, you'll see a variety of different icons up here. And one of them shows a Link icon and if you hover your mouse over top of it, it should say Link. Go ahead and click on that item and a dropdown menu should appear, where it has you can paste in an email or an IM, you can paste HTML into a web site, but then there's this other link down at the bottom that says Customize and preview the embedded map.
Go ahead and click on that link, and now we have a custom map that we can drag around and we can adjust to fine-tune it to be just the way that we want it. Now this map is looking a little bit large. Let's go ahead and check the small size and see how that looks. All right! That's looking a little bit better. We just want to adjust the map so that it's showing just the information we want. We should be able to see from Belize City down to Dangriga. We should be able to see this Barrier Reef System that's just off the coast. We can look at the Map view if we wanted to, all right.
Now we know those are the islands that we're looking for. So we can go back to the Satellite view, make sure that's all set. And now if we scroll down in this page, at the bottom there is some text that allows us to copy and paste this text directly into our Moodle page. So go ahead and select all the text inside of the box. Make sure you drag down and get all the way down to the very bottom of where that map code is being displayed. Then press Command+C, or Ctrl+C, on your keyboard to copy that text to your clipboard. You can go ahead and minimize this Google Maps window, and let's go back to the Editing Label tab in Moodle.
We should be back where our HTML Source Editor is located. You want to make sure that your cursor is at the very end of the line of text and then simply press Command+V, or Ctrl+V, on your keyboard to paste in all of that code. Come down to the bottom and click the Update button. Now when your page refreshes, you should be able to scroll down and see that map that's displayed right here inside of the Label text area. Go ahead and click the Save and return to course button and your page should refresh and take you right back down to Week 1.
Now we want to move that item up here into the LECTURE MATERIALS section, so we'll simply scroll down to the very bottom. Here's our map. It's all ready to go. Underneath of the map you can see there is a small Move icon, so grab the Move icon and just drag up in the page, and you want to make sure that you get it so that the gray line appears just underneath of the map and just above REQUIRED READINGS. Go ahead and drop that item in place, scroll down a little bit more, and let's go ahead and use the Move Right button to go ahead and move that map and snap it into alignment with all of the other items.
Now to see how this looks to the students, go ahead and scroll all the way back up at the top and turn editing off. Now when we scroll down in our page, our students not only get to see a map that shows where the coral reefs are located around the world, but as they scroll down a little bit more, they can see the map of the Belize barrier reef system and the atolls of Belize. They can even click and drag around inside of this map. They can use the Map tool to look at other different views of it. They can look at the Terrain view. They can look at the Google Earth plug-in. If they have Google Earth already plugged into their browser, they can access that directly through here, or they can simply go back to the Satellite view and see all the information that's in there.
Labels are an incredibly useful tool for displaying information directly inside of your Moodle page. Anything that you can do in HTML is pretty much fair game for you to be able to add content and enrich your course page with lots of different materials and media.

Lowering of the top business tax rate of 35% to say 25% would have a huge impact on CLCT. It would add about $1 to every coin (about $2M/yr) and 50c to every card (about $800K/yr). That's about 35c/yr in cash free and clear or enough for 1 quarters dividends.
Conclusion: lowering of top business tax rate would have a huge impact on CLCT free cash flow
"Lowering of the top business tax rate of 35% to say 25% would have a huge impact on CLCT."
Let's be real, CLCT's tax will go up -- not down. Soon they'll start paying Calif taxes. And Calif like the Fed is one big hungry gorilla.
The stock market closed at a high today, but not CLCT. CLCT closed at $11.75. There were 15 days this year when CLCT stock closed higher than it did today. CLCT's closing high this year was back on 3/20/13 at $12.08.
Stock Date
11.85 4/01/13
11.77 3/28/13

12.01 2/06/13
11.98 2/05/13
11.94 2/01/13
12.03 1/31/13
The only huge impact on CLCT that's real is very evident to anyone who watches the stock price. What's evident is that CLCT is a good stock for anyone who's a ground hugger and not an astronaut. Some people like to keep their feet firmly on earth. LOL
In this stock market it's hard to find stocks like CLCT that aren't in outer space on their way to the moon. A lot of stocks will crash land very hard, it's the law of averages, but that's not a big issue for CLCT.
I disagree. Generally, the larger companies pay much lower tax rates than 35% due to loopholes. Some even pay in the single digits. Maybe this is why CLCT has opened 3 off shore divisions. CLCT has almost no deductions. They are paying a tax rate just over 40%. A 10% reduction in federal tax rates would have a huge and immediate positive effect and would flow right to the bottom line.
taken directly from the Presidents budget proposal:
For this reason, the President is calling on the Congress to immediately begin work on corporate
tax reform that will close loopholes, lower the corporate tax rate, encourage investment here at
home, and not add a dime to the deficit.
"tax reform that will close loopholes, lower the corporate tax rate, encourage investment here "
By close loopholes they mean increase the effective/real corporate tax rate. By lower the corporate tax rate, they mean lower the stated corporate tax rate while increasing the effective/overall tax rate by closing loopholes. By encourage investment here, they mean discourage/prohibit investment abroad.
Tax reform is an oxymoron. You can't have tax and reform. Tax will always be a change for the worse.
Remember, It takes a lot of bananas to feed a growing two hundred pound gorilla. The government is growing, and it has already grown to more than trillions of pounds. Do you really believe tax reform means less bananas?

The Curva Nord is the area behind the north goal in Rome's Olympic Stadium.
Lazio lost 4-0 to Juve on Sunday in a rout sparked by a goal from Paul Pogba, a French midfielder.
Spectators had been warned about racist chanting over the stadium loudspeaker during the game.
According to local media the chants were aimed at Pogba, Ghanaian midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah and defender Angelo Ogbonna.
Italian football has been plagued by racist discrimination and it shows no sign of being eradicated despite renewed efforts by the authorities.

Rafa out!!!!!
Hey Robert
Well he's certainly not the warm & cuddly type in his professional life :-)
That said, I would take the rifts thing with a pinch of salt. On Fergie, I would take it as a compliment (he only ever falls out with managers when he sees them as a threat - Mancini, Wenger in the past, Jose etc.). With Sam, Rafa's not the first manager to whinge (wrongly in my opinion) about Boltons tactics - Wenger/Martinez for example.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Barack Obama defends his Afghan strategy
January 14, 2014
Washington: Barack Obama has defended his war strategy and said that he had faith in the Afghan mission , after the US president's commitment to the Afghanistan war was criticised by former Defence Secretary Robert Gates in his new book. "The good news is, is that because of that strategy that we came up with, by the end of this year we will have completed combat operations in Afghanistan," Obama told reporters on the eve of the release of the Gates's book. "We are in a position to continue to assist the Afghan people in making sure that they have a stable country that is working on behalf of the Afghan people and that it is a good partner with us," Obama said.
Barack Obama dismisses 'lame duck president' notion
May 1, 2013
WASHINGTON: Dismissing the notion that he is a lame duck president, Barack Obama , invoking Mark Twain, has asserted that he still has the "juice" to get his legislative agenda through a politically divided US Congress. Already 100 days into his second term at the White House , Obama faced a volley of questions about the stalled pieces of his legislative programme at yesterday's press conference. When asked by a reporter whether he still had "the juice to get the rest of your agenda through," Obama paraphrased Mark Twain's response to a report that he was near death.
When women succeed, America succeeds: Barack Obama
August 26, 2014
WASHINGTON: Asserting that success of women translate into country's success, US President Barack Obama has said that there was still more work to do and more doors of opportunity to open for them. "We know that when women succeed, America succeeds. In the 21st century, a mother should be able to raise her daughter and be her role model--showing her that with hard work, there are no limits to what she can accomplish," he said. The US President, father of two teenage daughters, pledged to tear down all barriers that deny women equal opportunity, in his proclamation issued yesterday to declare August 26 as the Women's Equality day. "But too often, the women and girls who lift up our nation achieve extraordinary success only after overcoming the legacy of unequal treatment," he said.
Chinese Take: Barack Obama's trip only symbolic
January 27, 2015
ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: There is much excitement over Obama's visit to India but its neighbours at least one seems to be rubbishing the brouhaha. China's official news agency Xinhua on Monday said India's relationship with China were unlikely to be affected because of the Obama visit. In its "In depth" section, the agency in an article published on Monday evening said, "China and India do have their differences, with the most outstanding ones in relation to their border disputes. However, aside from China's repeated declaration of its intention to settle border disputes with India peacefully at an early date, there are other cases in point that could serve as testament of growing rapport between Beijing and New Delhi , with the latest being joint new year celebrations by the two sides at a bordering area on January 1. " Calling the year 2014 as the one that probably witnessed the most frequent exchange of highlevel visits between the two neighbours in nearly 60 years, the media agency said, the India and China, despite their differences, share mutual benefits in so many different ways, making them natural partners in many different areas.
A metaphor for US President Barack Obama
January 23, 2013
By Robert J Shiller As US President Barack Obama begins his second term, he needs a simple way to express his vision and policies for the economy â€" a metaphor around which support for his policies might crystallise, thereby boosting his administration's political effectiveness. So, what makes a successful metaphor work? The 2008 Obama campaign used the slogan "Change we can believe in". But "change" is not a metaphor for a new government: it does not stand for any policies.
How Barack Obama created his greatest threat
August 17, 2012
ET Bureau
Ezra Klein Here's the weird thing about Paul Ryan being named to the Republican presidential ticket: it's all part of Barack Obama's campaign plan - a plan that's working better than his strategists could have hoped. It could also backfire more disastrously than they have ever imagined. It's hard to remember now, but there was a time, not long ago, when Ryan was no better known than Democrat John Spratt of South Carolina, his predecessor as chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Barack Obama's blunder at the World Bank
April 6, 2012
By Jagdish Bhagwati, © Project Syndicate, 2012 The selection of a successor to Robert Zoellick as president of the World Bank was supposed to initiate a new era of open meritocratic competition, breaking the traditional hold the US has had on the job. Indeed, Zoellick's own appointment was widely regarded as 'illegitimate' from that perspective. But US President Barack Obama has let the world down even more distressingly with his nomination of Jim Yong Kim for the post.
Barack Obama: An improbable journey into history
November 2, 2008
CHICAGO: It was just before midnight last November when Barack Obama stepped on stage in a darkened auditorium in Iowa, trailing in the polls, taking on one of the biggest names in Democratic politics _ and facing a make-or-break moment. His star-making turn when he had introduced himself to America at the Democratic convention in 2004 was a fading memory, his 9-month-old presidential campaign had been lackluster at times. Iowa, he knew, could be the end _ or the beginning.
Barack Obama, Mitt Romney clash on foreign policy; polls show Barack Obama wins
October 23, 2012
FLORIDA: America's trust deficit with Pakistan was evident today as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney clashed on key foreign policy issues in the final presidential debate here during which the President savaged his Republican rival for his "wrong and reckless leadership". In the last of the three high-stake 90-minute debates ahead of November 6 elections, President Obama was the aggressor from the start of the encounter which provided both the candidates a last chance to appeal to millions of voters in what appears to be a neck-and-neck race to the White House . According to a snap poll, Obama won the final presidential debate; and same was the case for other opinion polls including that of CBS news.
US President Barack Obama names US Indians to key posts
March 11, 2012

While Gangopadhyay has been nominated Member of the prestigious National Museum and Library Services Board, Ramaswamy has been appointed Director, National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) in US Department of Agriculture, the White House said.

text: I'm really tired of beers that I kind of like being in Bombers only for $7.00 +. I have no problem buying a bomber from time to time if it's something imperial, something Belgian, something limited, or just something really good. What really makes me mad is when something that I like, not love, that I wouldn't mind sipping a 6 pack of, is only available in an overpriced bomber. Rogue is major culprit, to the point where I've almost written them off. A lot of their stuff I have liked but not really been crazy about, if it was available in a 6 pack for basically $9.99 or less I would purchase it from time to time. They have some above average beers that are just completely overpriced. I had their Hazelnut Brown on draft, probably my favorite beer that I've tried from them. I got a pint at the bar for $5.00 (pretty normal price), went to the store and picked up a bomber for $6.99. So basically this beer is the same price per once at the bar as it is at the grocery store. Although I bought this one it's just not worth the price, along with their Chipotle ale, & Juniper ale, these are all beers I like, and would like in a 6pack for $9.99 but will just drink them on draft only. Same price in the bar as at the grocery store? LAME In conclusion I made a new rule for myself, only buy bombers if they are 8+ ABV or $5.00 or cheaper. Hop Stoopid is both- haha

I asked my ex several times to remove my name from our joint accounts where he was the primary holder. I would do the same. All other credit card companies complied, except Household Bank. They sent him a questionaire - request denied. When he asked again - they sent an affidavit for me to fill out - denied again, stating that no matter what is in our divorce decree, I am still fully responsible. I don't understand why if they did not intend to delete me from the account, we had to go thru phone calls and paperwork in the first place. At that time my ex was still paying on time - there was no default.
Meanwhile my ex remarried, had no job, was ill, a child was born and he maxed out the credit card and the account was defaulted sometime in Spring of 2006. The Household Bank never contacted me but on October 2006 I was contacted by Davis Law Associates in San Diego and since that time I have been bombarded by this collecting agency/law firm non stop. I finally wanted to have a piece of mind and get rid of this monster, so I agreed to pay half of the owed amount ( even though I never charged a penny to this card ). The law firm's representative assured me after this I would be released from my obligation, they would get hold of my ex and demand the remaining payment from him. They promissed a letter confirming my payment and stating I would be released from the obligation - that did not happen either. No letter, only more phone calls. Because my ex is unable and/or unwilling to pay, they are harrasing me again asking me to pay the rest. I am tired of this. My credit was untarnished untill now, I always paid my debts on time. I even paid half of this debt $4,474.00 in good faith this would stop. But there is no end to it.
I had to retire from a major airline company because of bad times for the airlines. I went to school to better myself ( I am over 50 ) and start a new career. Now I have a school loan, I am in a free internship because for my new profession I need some experience before somebody hires me. I have no income due to no my fault, lost my savings to pay half of the debt I did not charge. Household Bank never bothered to contact me, send a letter advising me the case was sent to the collecting agency... The collecting law firm never sent me anything in writing either. Can anybody help?

I think that you've already put yourself in a position of responsibility by making the first payment for half the balance. Don't have any further contact with this company. Check your divorce papers, and if this account is mentioned, check with the court as to how to file a motion to make your ex pay not only the remainder, but reimburse you for the cost you've already incurred.
There are a lot of others on this board that will probably be stepping forward to tell you where to go from here. I wish you the best, and look forward to updates. Good Luck.

Read this book many years ago and loved it so I decided to listen to the audio version. IT WAS FANTASTIC! The reader, Barrett Whitener, is superb! Does a wonderful Ignatius. Caution if you listen while driving, you might get in an accident from laughing so hard. Truly one of a kind book.
THE WORLD'S FUNNIEST BOOK!!!, 31 Aug. 2011
sally tarbox
This review is from: A Confederacy of Dunces (King Penguin) (Paperback)
I have read this loads of times, since hearing it read by the excellent Kerry Shale on Book at Bedtime in the 80s, and laugh out loud every time. Ignatius Riley, super-slob, is forced into the world of work, where he meets a host of hilarious characters: Miss Trixie, the octogenarian assistant accountant; Darlene,the would-be exotic dancer, who for want of a snake uses her moth-eaten cockatoo; Patrolman Mancuso, the incompetent vice-cop who for his sins is posted in the restroom in a variety of costumes, seeking to make an arrest; and Jones, the black criminal, forced into accepting a job at the Night of Joy bar or going to jail (Toole's skill in portraying Jones' Deep South accent is second to none!) ABSOLUTELY SUPERB, deserves six out of five!!
This audiobook title should come with a warning. Listening to it on my morning walk after a cup of strong coffee almost rendered my valve incontinent. Yes, it's dated with its 60' s world view and cliched portrayal of gays and lesbians but OMG!, is it funny.
Could NOT finish this, and I really tried.
I know it's supposed to be a classic, and a must-read, but it left me flat.
Perhaps someday I'll try again. Perhaps as an audio book.
Малко познат автор изобщо. Награден с Пулицър посмъртно за невероятния си роман "Сговор на глупци".
Невероятен, всепоглъщащ, ироничен, саркастичен, бр
A pungent work of slapstick, satire and intellectual incongruities - yet flawed in places by its very virtues.
Ultimately, Ignatius is simply too grotesque and loony to be taken for a genius; the world he howls at seems less awful than he does. Pratfalls can pass beyond slapstick only if they echo, and most of the ones in this novel do not. They are terribly funny, though, and if a book's price is measured against the laughs it provokes, A Confederacy of Dunces is the bargain of the year.
El protagonista de esta novela es uno de los personajes más memorables de la literatura norteamericana: Ignatus Reilly -una mezcla de Oliver Hardy delirante, Don Quijote adiposo y santo Tomás de Aquino, perverso, reunidos en una persona-, que a los treinta años aún vive con su estrafalaria madre, ocupado en escribir una extensa y demoledora denuncia contra nuestro siglo, tan carente de teología y geometría como de decencia y buen gusto, un alegado desquiciado contra una sociedad desquiciada. Por una inesperada necesidad de dinero, se ve 'catapultado en la fiebre de la existencia contemporánea', embarcándose en empleos y empresas de lo más disparatado.
Ruggero Bianchi
settembre 1998
Il caso di Una banda di idioti di John Kennedy Toole ricorda sorprendentemente, per molti versi, quello di Il giovane Holden di J.D. Salinger. Opere, entrambe, di autori (quasi) esordienti e comunque alla loro prima esperienza nel campo della narrativa lunga. E scritte, entrambe, da artisti irrequieti e verosimilmente nevrotici, non disposti a campare sulla sinecura del loro primo successo. Conosciamo tutti, di Salinger, la scelta di centellinare i propri scritti e di difendere la sua scelta esistenziale, una sorte di coleridgiana morte-in-vita. Ma pochi sanno della fine di Toole, nato nel 1937 e suicidatosi nel 1969, a soli trentadue anni, lasciando alla madre il compito di trasformare in bestseller e in classico moderno un libro che forse non pensava di poter mai pubblicare e che, negli Stati Uniti, uscì grazie soltanto al parere autorevole (sebbene segretamente perplesso) del celebre critico Walter Percy, che firma anche l'introduzione all'edizione italiana.Ma le analogie non si fermano qui. Sia Il govane Holden che Una banda di idioti pongono, fin dal titolo, grossi problemi alla bravura dei traduttori.
Il primo alludendo, con la dizione originale di The Catcher in the Rye, alle figure del baseball e alle coltivazioni del mais; il secondo chiamando in causa, sotto la formula di A Confederacy of Duncies, la realtà di un Sud "confederato" nella guerra civile e l'indimenticato poema di Alexander Pope, The Dunciad (1728), un capolavoro satirico inglese del primo Settecento che nessuno oggi legge come nessuno oggi legge il Parini e, probabilmente, per le stesse ragioni. Come se non bastasse, ai due romanzi è toccata di fatto la medesima sorte in Italia. The Catcher in the Rye di Salinger, uscito nel 1952 nel nostro Paese con il titolo Vita da uomo (Casini editore, traduzione di Jacopo Darca), divenne un bestseller grazie alla nuova edizione di Einaudi del 1961 (trad. di A. Motti). A Confederacy of Duncies passò inosservato dal pubblico una quindicina d'anni fa, sebbene Luciana Bianciardi vincesse, per la sua traduzione oggi ripubblicata in altra cornice, il Premio Monselice 1983.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0802130208, Paperback)"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs."
Meet Ignatius J. Reilly, the hero of John Kennedy Toole's tragicomic tale, A Confederacy of Dunces. This 30-year-old medievalist lives at home with his mother in New Orleans, pens his magnum opus on Big Chief writing pads he keeps hidden under his bed, and relays to anyone who will listen the traumatic experience he once had on a Greyhound Scenicruiser bound for Baton Rouge. ("Speeding along in that bus was like hurtling into the abyss.") But Ignatius's quiet life of tyrannizing his mother and writing his endless comparative history screeches to a halt when he is almost arrested by the overeager Patrolman Mancuso--who mistakes him for a vagrant--and then involved in a car accident with his tipsy mother behind the wheel. One thing leads to another, and before he knows it, Ignatius is out pounding the pavement in search of a job.
Over the next several hundred pages, our hero stumbles from one adventure to the next. His stint as a hotdog vendor is less than successful, and he soon turns his employers at the Levy Pants Company on their heads. Ignatius's path through the working world is populated by marvelous secondary characters: the stripper Darlene and her talented cockatoo; the septuagenarian secretary Miss Trixie, whose desperate attempts to retire are constantly, comically thwarted; gay blade Dorian Greene; sinister Miss Lee, proprietor of the Night of Joy nightclub; and Myrna Minkoff, the girl Ignatius loves to hate. The many subplots that weave through A Confederacy of Dunces are as complicated as anything you'll find in a Dickens novel, and just as beautifully tied together in the end. But it is Ignatius--selfish, domineering, and deluded, tragic and comic and larger than life--who carries the story. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. His fragility cracks the shell of comic bluster, revealing a deep streak of melancholy beneath the antic humor. John Kennedy Toole committed suicide in 1969 and never saw the publication of his novel. Ignatius Reilly is what he left behind, a fitting memorial to a talented and tormented life. --Alix Wilber
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:08 -0400)
Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, --selfish, domineering, deluded, tragic and larger than life-- is a noble crusader against a world of dunces. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh posts of the fallen city, documenting life on his Big Chief tablets as he goes, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must work.… (more)

Located in Mitchell Street in the heart of the city centre, Barolo Grill serves top quality Scottish steaks, meats and seafood with a contemporary Italian touch.
Its central location makes it an ideal pit stop for hungry shoppers, as well as an excellent choice for business lunches, romantic dinners and lively nights out. In the summer months, the sun terrace in Gordon Street offers a place to dine al fresco and watch the city centre pass by.
Only the very best cattle are selected for Barolo Grill's speciality steaks, which are matured on the bone to enhance flavour. Meat lovers also have the option of indulging in surf and turf or one of the restaurant's grill specialities, which include spicy Tuscan sausage, prime Scottish lamb and the veal steak mince burger. Vegetarians can choose from a range of fresh salads, creamy pastas, risottos and stone-baked pizzas baked in the restaurant's traditional Italian pizza oven.
Barolo Grill also prides itself on its extensive wine list which offers a range of Italian wines including, naturally, a selection from the Barolo region.
Barolo Grill has excellent transport links. A two minute walk from Central Station, it is also within five minutes of Queen Street railway station and both Buchanan Street and St Enoch subway stations. There is a taxi rank very behind Central Station and there are several car parks nearby.
