The Women's Trade Union League was inspired by a women's boycott of high priced kosher beef in New York in 1902. William English Walling, a wealthy native of Kentucky and a resident of a university settlement house, witnessed the event and decided to visit England to study the Women's Trade Union League founded by Mary Ann Patterson in 1873. Walling was particularly interested in how the group integrated women of different social classes into a single organization for defending the rights of women workers.
After returning to America, Walling joined forces with Mary Kenney O'Sullivan, a Hull-House resident, to form the Women's National Trade Union League in 1903. The WTUL was created when it became clear that the American Federation of Labor would not admit women. Mary Morton Kehew served as the first president of the organization with Jane Addams as vice-president and O'Sullivan as secretary. Other notable figures on the first executive board included Leonora O'Reilly and Lillian Wald, both active in New York settlement houses and local women's trade unions. Ellen Lindstrom and Mary McDowell of Chicago also sat on the board. The organization soon spread to other major cities in the United States with local branches being supported by settlement houses and an intertwining network of women's organizations.
The Women's National Trade Union League changed its name to the National Women's Trade Union League (WTUL) in 1907. The league fought for women's suffrage, better pay and working conditions for women, and supported other progressive causes, e.g., William Walling, Mary McDowell, Leonora O'Reilly, and Lillian D. Wald all helped to found the NAACP in 1909. The League was technically required to maintain a majority of women's trade unionists as members and power was to rest in their hands, but "allies," or sympathizers from other social classes often played prominent roles.
Margaret Dreier Robins served as president of WTUL from 1906-1922 and while relations with male dominated labor unions were often strained, WTUL actively contributed to new legislation such as the eight-hour day, minimum wage, and the abolition of child labor. The WTUL launched a four year investigation of the Triangle Company Shirtwaist Fire (1911) and stressed the need for safe working conditions. Robins founded a school in 1915 to train women labor leaders and organizers.
Eleanor Roosevelt became a league member in 1922 and the group's leadership had access to powerful politicians, but the Depression hit the organization hard. The group became less effective due to financial problems and declining membership rolls. The passage of New Deal legislation, the enrollment of women in mainstream labor unions, and social changes brought on by World War II made the organization less relevant and WTUL became defunct in 1950.
The Women's Trade Union League of Chicago Collection consists of the former contents of a single scrapbook now held in acid-free paper folders. Newspaper clippings and some correspondence constitute the collection.

i know it's in berwyn, but wondering if anyone has been to autre monde on roosevelt. looks really cool from the outside, but also expensive. similar to house red/marion st?
Views: 266
I've been there with my wife. Pretty expensive but damn good. We split a steak meal and were filled up.
Very surprising find in Berwyn. Worth a visit. Interesting menu, trying to be a little original in some flavor combinations. Some worked better then others, I admit. Pricey, but not as bad as comparable places in the city. Nice vibe. Very small so definitely call ahead. I wont go often, but I'll keep it on my list for when friends come from the city/out of town, and I want to go to a place that doesn't feel as suburban.
I don't know house red. Marion st. .... do you mean marion street grill? It is not like Marion street at all, which is very traditional, and feels like it is trying for more of an older audience. Autre monde is trying to be a little hip and trendy.
I love Autre Monde... kind of similar to Marion Street, but reminded me of places in Chicago more than anything in OP or FP. Prices were comparable to MSCM.
I really enjoyed it. I went during one of the first weeks it was open. Great, creative food and drinks. The dining style vaguely European (as in, plates are meant to be shared, etc). Great for a date night, but yes, can be pricey. Can't say enough good things about the flatbreads. I am really happy it is getting all of this positive press, but sort of sad because now I know it's going to become more and more complicated to get in there. I think the food is better than Marion St.
This restaurant is top notch! I highly recommend! Many glowing reviews on Yelp.com:

sry i think i linked it wrong
All I know, is that in the last few months, I've almost been hit twice in the Whole Foods parking lot---and then flipped off by the drivers. I've also broken up a couple of fights inside the store.
This is not a ringing endorsement for the vegetarian lifestyle ;-).

For 13 years we had a government that concentrated on wealth distribution and creating wealth got overlooked. Indded the effects of distribution made it harder for creators.
I'd probably disagree with that. They thought they'd found the golden faucet of wealth creation (finance) and spent accordingly. Their biggest mistake (as has been the mistake of most governments of the West of all political colours) was to put all their faith in the financial industry as biggest driver of wealth creation. Whether they were complicit or just plain ignorant is the question. I think the latter is possibly more likely and indeed more scary; pure incompetence and lack of long term economic nous. I mean if you truly saw all those tax bills coming in from the fantastic finance industry you'd possibly start spending like there was no tomorrow too.... whoohoo we're rich!!

Meeting Behaviors: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
February 24, 2010 | Author: PM Hut | Filed under: Communications Management,Project Management Best Practices
Meeting Behaviors: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
By Andrew Buck
I realized yesterday that it had been a while since I'd communicated my thoughts on the topic of Project/Program Management — I'll thank a colleague for reminding me of that recently — so in keeping with that theme, I'll use today's article to explore Communication as a short topic. In specific, no one goes for two decades in the profession without seeing the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of communication in a variety of environments, so I've focused today's post on Meeting Behaviors.
We've all been through meetings where we've asked ourselves why we were wasting an hour of time that could have been devoted to other important work. Sometimes, the outward manifestation of that angst, anxiety and impatience results in what I'll later refer to as "Bad Meeting Behaviors". That aside, I've provided a checklist that practitioners can review with their teams to underscore and outline expectations during meetings.
For those of us who spent way too much time in the Dentist's Office as a kid reading the copy of Highlights, we'll remember the cartoons of "Goofus and Gallant" as the contrast between irresponsible and responsible. This list is the modern day project manager's version of that.
Good Meeting Behaviors
A few bullet basics surrounding good behaviors:
- Agenda mandatory. Make sure that you are following an agenda and that all participants are kept apprised from time to time via a verbal prompt ("Next agenda item is…") or some other queue that will keep the meeting on track.
Ensure there is one chairperson who will run the meeting and document any issues or summarizing points (preferably, delegate a scribe so that meeting progress isn't slowed by note-taking).
Be clear but succinct. Phone lines often prevent the speaker from hearing others contribute when needed or interrupt when appropriate. Be conscious of that while speaking, and do so succinctly allowing time between speech bursts for others to comment. This trait is a little more pronounced over Voice over IP (VOIP) networks that may delay transmission briefly due to routing and packet switching.
Remove distractions. Unless the meeting involves a live presentation, the meeting chair should insist that laptops be closed so that they don't detract from the flow of the meeting. In addition, it can be perceived as rude.
Provide for wrap-up and summary. In the second bullet, I suggested that someone should scribe the meeting – at this point, he or she should read back the items discussed, actions, ownership, and status or timeframes involved. A five-minute wrap-up is customary, and should be included in the agenda (an AOB or Q&A item is sufficient).
Timing. If the meeting is about to run over, quickly poll the room to determine if further discussion is needed or if others have commitments immediately afterward.
Make sure that your agenda is not "hijacked" or you've unwittingly ceded control of the meeting to someone else's agenda, by politely but firmly reminding that the agenda of the meeting has been established, and the procedure for adding agenda items before the meeting. For those wondering why that was my first point, this is one example.
Squelch side conversations that may occur in the meeting. A diplomatic way of doing this is either to point out that multiple conversations are distracting attention away from the speaker's point, or more to the point asking the other party if their sidebar can wait until the conclusion of the meeting. If those don't work, interrupt the speaker and stop the conversation to bring attention to the bad behavior. Supplemented by a comment such as "Pardon me, are you finished?" or "If your conversation is critical, please take it outside the room", the sidebars from will generally cease allowing the chairperson to assert control of the meeting.
Ensure that progress is being made against the agenda by holding to times. This means that when conversation topics are getting sidetracked, action the participants with a follow-up shortly after the meeting to resolve.
Summarize all meetings with a written follow-up based on the Communications Plan as quickly as possible following the meeting. If there is an area of dispute, ask that someone "respond directly to the author" to clarify – thereby avoiding any confusion that a mass reply might trigger.
Bad Meeting Behaviors
Now that I've covered Good Meeting Behaviors, let's also focus on behaviors that should be discouraged.
- Distraction behavior. If you noted my fourth bullet point above, you'll understand why I've placed this first. A mobile workforce with portable devices and wireless networking has enabled us to instant message, web surf, and use meetings as time to do other tasks that detract from the purpose of the meeting. A former colleague of mine found a subordinate checking Cricket scores on the Web during a very useful presentation. It became a career-limiting move for the offender. Answering IM's or email during important discussions is also a distraction – believe it or not, most humans cannot multitask.
Late and lax meeting start times. This is rewarding the behavior of showing up late versus promptness. It likely takes two meetings before the reality of on-time arrival becomes habit. Make sure you start no more than a minute behind schedule as a grace period; you're otherwise eating into important time.
Sidetracking. I've worked with some masters of the art of confusion who use any opportunity to spin a meeting or subject out of control until the original topic has been forgotten. Set the rule that if it wasn't on the agenda, it isn't being discussed. Be friendly but firm about that, reminding them of the procedure for updating the agenda.
Interrupting the speaker. Briefly interjecting on the interrupter to suggest that they hold their thought until the person speaking finishes generally works in most cases. If the behavior continues, be more candid and direct by sidetracking the interrupter, admonishing, "In order for the meeting to progress orderly, I really need you to hang tight until the current speaker finishes, and I'll be happy to recognize you afterward."
Mobile Device abuse. We've all seen the person who constantly pulls out a mobile device to check on anything more urgent (or interesting) than the meeting at hand. If you have not otherwise set a rule about this during important meetings, a suggestion to break people of the habit is to suddenly refer to them during the discussion — it will get their attention, although it won't engender you to them. Otherwise, if the individual is truly ancillary to the meeting, concede that you understand his tight schedule and if something else seems pressing, he can certainly be excused and informed of the outcomes later.
The control freak. I've been witness to some embarrassing situations when such a person has been publicly admonished, or clearly directed to "sit down and shut up" by a superior. The control freak is another version of the 'hijacker' I mentioned a few bullets back, and must be reminded of their role and position in the project. Politely but firmly assert that you'll keep to the standing agenda of the meeting; if that presents an issue, arrange to speak privately after the meeting. Then follow-up by approaching them with the reminder that you've scheduled and are responsible for chairing a productive meeting. Remind them also that they probably wouldn't care for their own meetings being taken-over in such a manner, and ask that they extend you the same courtesy. It's a firm but friendly way of emphasizing the behavior and tone that needs to be established.
The meeting windbag. We've all encountered them – he or she is the individual whose car doesn't need airbags because he or she comes equipped with their own. Simply put, the windbag will say in 10 minutes what could have been said in 10 words. This is where you can take a bit of creative license in keeping a meeting on track. Given my personal flair for sarcasm, which may not go over well but will certainly drive a point, I've listed some clever (or sarcastic) options below:
- "I'm sorry (name), you've probably lost us on the way there. Is there a 25-words-or-less version of that?"
- "That's 10 minutes I'll never get back, can you shorten that so everyone gets the essence of the point?"
- "If there was a point to be made there, I'm not sure I heard it. Can you summarize that in response to the meeting minutes we'll be issuing as a clarification?"
- "Can you condense that into a Cliff's Notes version, please?"
…and while I could suggest even more sarcastic responses, I'm sure we can think of our own. The point simply is to change the behavior of the more long-winded speaker to come to a more concise distillation of their point. In a friendly manner, have a sidebar with the individual, invite him/her for coffee, and start by explaining how valuable his/her input really is, but that his/her points would be much better adopted if expressed concisely. Don't shut him or her down, but you do need to keep meetings on track.
Lack of summary / lack of clear conclusion. When scheduling any meeting, the value proposition for the meeting should be clear to everyone. If the participants leave and have neither a sense of accomplishment or decision, nor any tangible reference that outlines and captures the discussions and decisions, it undermines the value of future meetings. Again, this underscores the importance of post-meeting recap, actions, and outcomes.
I've used these to help drive the desired and productive behaviors in meetings, and suggest it for anyone seeking a guideline of practice. While my style (especially in one of the above bullets) might not be to everyone's liking, each practitioner needs to develop their own style and the best methods for that to work for their situation.
Feel free to share your own views on the topic, and what has worked for you in past situations.

The PM HUT is publishing a lot of articles on "how to conduct better meetings", all of them with advices that can never be implemented in the real world, all of them assuming that the Project Manager is the strongest person in the meeting and he or she can say anything to anyone. Well guess what, if a superior is discussing issues outside the agenda or answering the phone or checking email during the meeting, all the Project Manager can do is keep his mouth shut.
Andrew and others, please take into consideration the status of the Project Manager when you write such articles, as again, they have no real benefit in the real world.
J. Elliot – The art of Project Management often calls for the PM to display diplomacy and tact. It also requires the PM to effectively manage not just their project team and peers, but the people above them, too.
In the example you've painted, the appropriate response is to talk to the superior, as you call them, afterwards and remind them that a) as a senior member of staff, they should be setting a better example to the other attendees, and b) each meeting carries a cost, not just a time cost, but the hourly cost of everyone in that meeting. Don't forget, that in a client-driven, cross-charging environment (like most organisations today), project meetings come out of the project budget.
Speaking from personal experience, this approach does have an impact on disorderly behaviour – even of senior staff.
I have seen meetings that are completely derailed by seniors, but I believe that such situation is the result of a weak Project Manager. I think, if you, as a Project Manager, can't say anything to your superiors to keep the meeting (which comes out of the project budget) on track then you just don't cut it to be a Project Manager. Sure, there will be situations where you just can't say anything, but that should be the exception rather than the norm.
First of all, having senior stakeholders sit in on meetings will not always be necessary; I'm imagining meeting with the project team, and the advice in the blog post above is excellent on that front.
One thought I had was that it IS rude when someone in the meeting is playing on their laptop (or working on it) or taking e-mails and such on their phones. If a senior-level member of the meeting can't take it without having to do so, I suggest they send someone they trust in their stead. Having an agenda, giving it out beforehand and maintaining the agenda during the meeting helps for many reasons, and one of them is that if you do have to send a stand-in, you can make sure that person sees the agenda and can fill in what you would say in response to any questions or disagreements you may have with it.
Good post. Thanks for the advice – all is good!
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for this nice article. We figured out that standup meetings are great but needed improvement (they took a lot of time, de-focussed our colleagues and interrupted their workflows). Because of this we developed a SaaS tool to "automate" the daily standup meetings – with just a single email. If you like to take a look: http://www.30secondsmail.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if I cannot attend the tryout dates but want to participate in ODP?
If you would like to be evaluated for an ODP player pool but cannot attend the scheduled tryout dates you will then have the opportunity to be evaluated on one of the first two training dates for the player pools. TYou must still register online for the evaluation process and pay the evaluation fee.
2. How do I register for ODP if I do not play for a registered SCYSA club or program?
If you are not a registered SCYSA player but would like to participate in the SCYSA Olympic Development Program then you may do so by registering directly with SCYSA. You must submit the following information, full name, address, phone, e-mail, date of birth, copy of birth certificate and pay the $10 registration fee. Please contact the state office 803-749-4353.
3. How do I play for SCYS ODP if I am registered to play in North Carolina or Georgia but am a resident of SC or I live outside of SC but am registered to play in SCYSA?
You will need to complete an Interstate Permission Form and complete the ODP Declaration line choosing either the state you are playing in (Accepting) or the state you reside in (Releasing). If you did not complete this process during your initial registration for your respective league play you can find the form on our website under Registration Forms.
4. What is a player pool and how do I get selected to the player pool?
A player pool is the amount of players that are selected during an evaluation period that make up the age group. The ideal number of players per player pool age group is 30 – 40 players but as few as 25 may be selected. Players are selected for a player pool by registering for tryouts and then being evaluated by the state ODP staff.
5. Will goalkeepers be evaluated separately by a goalkeeper coach?
It will be the job of the goalkeeper coaches to evaluate the goalkeepers and make recommendations to the head coaches of each age group. Goalkeeper coaches will remain with the Girls and Boys programs throughout the cycle and provide goalkeeper training at all pre-scheduled training sessions.
6. My player was born in 2004/2005. Can they tryout for ODP?
Yes players born in 2004 and 2005 can tryout for ODP. You must follow the same registration process that all other players complete to be eligible for the 2004/2005 player pool.
7. What will happen during the tryouts?
Players will be asked to arrive an hour to 30 minutes before the tryouts begin. Times will be posted online. Players will receive two numbered t shirts that must be worn during tryouts.

LISBON-The Stage Left Players of Lisbon's current production of Caroline Smith's comedy, "The Kitchen Witches," directed by Craig Snay, is one of the funniest plays I've seen this season, thanks to an excellent script, an outstanding cast and the director's gift for combining physical and verbal comedy in a fast-paced, perfectly timed package.
The play begins with the last episode of "Cooking with Bobcha," a cable-access show featuring Ukrainian cuisine, and hosted by the very non-Ukrainian Dolly Biddle, using a fake Eastern European accent. The show is interrupted by also-canceled TV cook Isobel Lomax, who threatens Dolly with a lawsuit for making repeated disparaging remarks about Isobel.
The resulting confrontation generates huge viewer response (at least huge for cable-access) and a management decision to have Dolly and Isobel do a show together, under the direction of Dolly's son, Stephen.
As the play progresses, the two loose-lipped foodies reveal embarrassing facts about each other's past, and keep upping the ante on their physical confrontations, usually involving food that is thrown or applied directly to the rival cook's face, prompting Stephen to increase exponentially his daily intake of headache remedies. The stinging one-liners and the laughs don't stop until the curtain call.
Karen E. Hauck-Losito is hilarious as Dolly, the more physical and demonstrative of the pair, playing out larger-than-life physical comedy bits worthy of Lucille Ball in her prime. She also exhibits flawless timing in her delivery of every line her character says.
Tammy Crismon is a revelation as Isobel, demonstrating a heretofore never exhibited gift for physical comedy. Crismon gives a perfect interpretation of her sharp-tongued character's devastating one-liners combined with the ability to give as good as she gets physically from Hauck-Losito, making her character a side-splitting cross between Martha Stewart and Ethel Mertz.
What makes these two smart, pretty women so special in their respective roles is their utter fearlessness when it comes to looking or acting silly, or getting down and dirty in their physical confrontations. These are two superb comic actresses at the top of their game and willing to do whatever it takes to stay there.
Nathan Kuhns is equally important to the production in the role of Stephen Biddle, and his is, in many ways, the most challenging part in the play. Stephen has to be the referee between two strong female personalities, both of whom know how to push his buttons. Kuhns delivers a masterfully balanced performance that shows the character's restraint in the face of extreme stress.
Director Craig Snay also designed the set for the show that works perfectly with the unique space at Stage Left's Trinity Playhouse.
"The Kitchen Witches" will be presented again this coming Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Call ahead for reservations at 330-831-7249. I give this show my highest recommendation for adults and mature teens. Parents are cautioned that the play contains several instances of strong vulgarity and tasteful discussion of sexual matters.

Switzerland – Scaling the Jungfrau Region
Surrounded by Switzerland's mountain landscape, it's easy to see why the Swiss understand the value of nature. It is not a luxury reserved for a few, but a treasure shared by all. Joseph travels into the Grindelwald Valley to experience the grandeur of perhaps Switzerland's most typically-Swiss region – the Jungfrau. Constantly shadowed by the towering heights of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks, all above 12,000 feet, Joseph partakes of the culture at local street fairs and festivals. He gets to take part in a cheese-making demonstration and run with the goats through the streets of Wengen, a car-free mountain town. To get an up-close experience with the mountains he hikes to the Gleckstein, a mountain hut for climbers, and literally tops off his adventure with a train journey to the highest train station in Europe, the Jungfraujoch.
Travelscope's Switzerland Travel Partners
Packed with the gorgeous full-color photographs, detailed illustrations, and 3-D maps for which DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are beloved, Eyewitness Switzerland truly shows you what other guides only tell you. Comprehensive reviews of hotels, restaurants, cafes, and bars complement coverage of museums, historic areas, shopping, and local sights. The guide works equally well for inspiration, as a planning tool, a practical resource while traveling, and a keepsake following any trip.
The first ascent of the Jungfrau on August 3, 1811 caused quite a sensation. In those days the area in today's UNESCO Region was strictly reserved for a few daring adventurers. These days, thanks to the mountain railways, footpaths and biking trails everyone can experience a variety of adventures in the Jungfrau Region. The mountains around Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren and Lauterbrunnen continue to hold a great fascination and, in the meantime, offer something to suit everyone from action-seeking sports enthusiasts to aficionados looking for relaxation. A trip from Wengen or Grindelwald to the Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest train station at 3,453 metres above sea level, transports visitors into the magical world of eternal snow and ice. From the opposite side of the valley above Mürren, on the top of the almost 3,000 metre-high Schilthorn, day-trippers can enjoy the best views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau triumvirate. Far below in the Lauterbrunnen valley the spectacular Trümmelbachfalls have been open to visitors for around 100 years. Here 20,000 litres of water per second thunder down into the "valley of 72 waterfalls". For more information visit www.MyJungfrau.ch.

I love attending Social Media Breakfast Maine each month. The topic is always different and the presenters are local Maine business' who let you know how they are making social media work for them.
This month, Amy Vintinner from Seabags ( I am totally getting a custom bag made for Lenny and I's five year anniversary this summer! SO COOL!) and CC Chapman, author of Content Rules were there to speak about why content in social media is so important and how to engage your followers/clients/peers. Basically, we need to listen to what people are looking for and be human when delivering what they want.
If someone mentions you in a post or asks you a question – acknowledge them by answering their questions and say thank you. They went to you for a reason. When you do answer them, use "your own voice". Don't pretend to be someone else – show your colors. I'm not saying that you need to be derogatory or overly opinionated, but don't be vanilla.
What I have always struggled with is content – what do people want to hear? I don't want to bore them or be redundant. One way to understand what people want is to just listen for what they are looking for and answer their questions. As a Realtor, people ask me all the time "Is now a good time to sell my home?" or "How is business?". These are both great questions to blog about. Now, when people ask you these questions, don't say "Reference my blog" go ahead and answer them; however, they are not the only ones wondering those questions and they won't be the last so put it out there for everyone to see.
I hope that my posts always show my personality and are NEVER vanilla and in the future I am going to pay attention to what people are asking me about Real Estate and my business. Like I have said before, we want to be the #1 Real Estate Team that you think of when you want to buy, sell or just have that basic question you want answered. So with that in mind, what are you looking for in a Real Estate professional? Do you have any questions about the market right now or the changes coming down the road?
To end, I am going to leave you with what SeaBags left us with at the end of her presentation. It was found on the Life is Good facebook page:
"Dance like the photo is not tagged.
Love like you've never been unfriended.
Tweet like nobody is following."


text: Johannesburg - The Premier Soccer League will cast its net wide in search of their next chief executive officer following the departure of Zola Majavu on Tuesday. Prior to Majavu's appointment as CEO, a resolution had reportedly been adopted by the PSL that the new chief would have to be a black South African, and they were seemingly in short supply as Majavu's appointment was on the back of former CEO Kjetil Siem's extended time in office. Initially, Siem's contract was due to end in June 2010, but he stayed on until the end of May 2011, while the league continued to search for his replacement. This time, though, PSL chairman Irvin Khoza says the league will settle for any competent CEO, either black or white. "It is not for me to make a determination, because the executive committee must decide but it is not about black this or that. For us, let's get the CEO for the PSL," he told Football365.co.za. "This is South Africa so I don't want to fall foul of Madiba (Nelson Mandela), because this South Africa is for everybody as Madiba say. "We must stretch our net far and if there is someone internally we will go that route, but if there is nobody internally then we would probably head-hunt. The executive is meeting on Thursday to give a directive." Currently at the helm is Cambridge Mokanyane, who will act as CEO until Thursday when the executive committee will meet to decide on the way forward, but at this stage Khoza has given no time frame as to when the CEO may be found. "Well, sometimes it doesn't depend on our wish because if ever it is head-hunting it might be somebody who is employed and if it is a process, it could be about setting out to advertise the position, followed by interviews so we will find out on Thursday which route we are going to take in replacing the CEO," Khoza added. Football365.co.za learnt on Wednesday morning that former South African Football Association CEO Raymond Hack could be in line to replace Majavu, although South African football's governing body would not confirm or deny those claims.

Even if you're not a Knicks fan, you've gotta admit that tomorrow will be a monumental day for the Air Jordan retro realm thanks to the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG shown here. The reason for that is of course the 'Nike Air' hit on the tongue, a detail which will continue to show up throughout the year much to the joy of Jordan Brand purists. Continue reading for a full view on the flag bearer for the look the Air Jordan 1 High 'Knicks' and look for them tomorrow, January 5th, at Jordan Brand retailers (and be advised that they're not set to show up on Nikestore) or right now from the likes of houseofsneakers07 on eBay.

vvvvv nah not really.i dont think these were that great.feel like plastic more than leather.theyre nice on the eyes but that about it.defnitely aint losing sleep on passing these up.
Those that slept on these and call themselves a "sneakerhead" will wake up tomorrow upset.. I copped both and I'll say these were constructed better than the "Bulls" Retro 1 in terms of packaging and leather... Here's the kicker.. they look even better when you work into em.. the upper and toe box crease ever so nicely giving it an authentic vintage look.. My only gripe is For the 140 price tag they charged they should've used more premium material like those fond on the Banned 1's. But I really love these..
i fuck wit the box n thats about it
Copped these and the bulls today. Construction is cleaner on these.
these are ugly. saw them today in house of hoops. passed without having to think too much.
I love these sneakers! I think they are fairly limited I know they won't be sold on NDC.... These will look great a long side my royals! Follow me on #Instagram @TheHeirOfDaLou
And that's finish line
These def aren't that exclusive. We got like 20 pairs at my job. @ZzBATMANsS
house of hoops only according to footlocker release calendar
@Miggyv214 just seen finishline's twitter... all understood....
@Miggyv214 finishline will have them avail for sale in store only? or also internet & phone orders allowed?
@Miggyv214 that is exclusive/limited, 20 pairs is low. What is exclusive then 5 pairs?
@Miggyv214 where can I cop these over the phone? Got work tomorrow.....

That's one way to congratulate a pro on winning Dancing with the Stars.
On Saturday at the Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas, Maksim Chmerkovskiy was photographed kissing fellow professional dancer Peta Murgatroyd, who took home the mirror ball trophy with Donald Driver last week.
That wasn't the only time the hard-bodied pair and rumored couple were spotted together in Sin City. Witnesses have seen them together all over Vegas, and the dancers appeared to be quite cozy on the East Coast recently, as well.
At the opening of Chmerkovskiy's new dance studio in Connecticut on May 23, the pair stood arm-in-arm while he whispered in her ear.
And it seems they weren't discussing how to pronounce each other's last names.
"She's had a crush on him for a long time," a source tells PEOPLE. "They are really great together. And he is very happy."
"It's early but I think this will last," adds another source. "They're a good match, a good couple. She says they're not dating but they are. Everyone knows it."
Still, at the debut of the Dance With Me studio (which Maks opened with his brother Val and fellow pro Tony Dovolani), both danced around questions about the relationship.
"I'm here to support Maksim," was all Murgatroyd would say. Chmerkovskiy wouldn't directly address the nature of their relationship either.
"I try to keep certain things private just because – what's the politically correct way of saying it? It's none of anybody's business," he told PEOPLE. "It's very intimate and personal."
Sure looks like it!

What is Social Networking
Hi to all,
Just new here and would like to know about what really is social networking and social bookmarking. I recently started my career in SEO and I would like to know various aspects of search engine optimiztion and link popularity.
Thanks and enjoy...
Re: What is Social Networking
SEO is nothing to do with Social Networking / Social Bookmarking but when you post your link into sites like digg / stumbleupon / facebook you tend to get links to your site and so the so called SEO expert include them into SEO but its actually not.
Re: What is Social Networking
Hi, Brother
Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.
Bro, according to you, social bookmarking is all about "getting links to your site"...
Correct me if I am wrong, but Bro, does SEO not include BACKLINKS as an important factor of high SERPs??? Because, I've heard that the more backlinks I have from reputable websites, the more higher ranking I can get on search engines. It means that backlinks are a vital part of SEO!!!
Do share your knowledge about that. Looking forward for your reply.
Take care...
Re: What is Social Networking
No. Thats the misconception of all so called SEO Expert.
Look at Google Algorithm.
If you get a Link from a PR3 Page and assuming you are the only link on that page.
If you get a Link from a PR3 Page and assuming there are 50 more links on that page.
If you get a Link from a domain where the page has no PR and you are not the only one who is linked.
By PR I mean the actual PR and not toolbar PR which is updated randomly.
So its all about getting good quality links but I do not rule out the Social Bookmarking benefits but after certain point its waste of time but its a good option to start with and do at times but should not be source of your SEO which is the case for many
Re: What is Social Networking
overdoing of social bookmarking or social networking can ruin your seo campaign.
Regarding backlink role in SEO...they are important but you need to have some good quality content also along with backlinks.
Google wants you to get backlinks naturally and that can be acheived if you have a good quality content. Try to increase linkability of your site by posting quality content and everybody would link to your site..
Remember search engines and user are after quality information so concentrate on that first.
Re: What is Social Networking
Social Networking means joining/building communities of people with similar interest or even not so similar interest but wanted to explore others interest and activities. Since network building and relationship is the key to every marketing strategy, it becomes obvious that marketers are utilizing these social networking platforms with vested interests that can be brand building, brand promotion, traffic driving, user acquisition or anything else. Some of the popular social networking sites are: Orkut in India and SA. Facebook in U.S, UK and India, Myspace in US and the list is endless.
Social Bookmarking: This extends your ability of bookmarking on your personal computer and accessing it from anywhere in the world as your bookmarks are available on web through these social bookmarking sites delicious, digg, stumbleupon, reddit, etc.
Social bookmarking helps in link building but that doesn't mean you create your 100 ID's on social bookmarking sites and bookmark your pages. It can work only when you content is worth bookmarking and people bookmark it genuinely from various geographies or multiple IPs.
Re: What is Social Networking
Social networking like facebook and twitter!..
Re: What is Social Networking
Social networking sites have been around for quite some times but they have just gained more popularity over the recent years with a few of the most well known being FaceBook and MySpace.
The networking sites are designed for friends to keep in touch or so that people can find new friends of similar interests. When you sign up for the sites, you get a personal profile page where you can post a profile picture and some descriptions about you as well as list interests and such. The profile page can be customized and you can make it really personal.
Re: What is Social Networking
Social Networking and Web 2.0 are the same thing if you are not yet aware of it. But he best thing about them is that they will get bigger and bigger as time goes by.
|All times are GMT +5.5. The time now is 00:33.

on December 25, 2012 - 12:01 AM
Editor's note: For Christmas, we present this extra ?entry in the 2012 Buffalo News Short Story Contest, in which ?writer Joan Wickett of Hamburg followed our opening prompt ?about a table and a dog all the way to Bethlehem.
At least the table looks good."
It did – everything was shiny and perfect. The other preparations were coming along, too, though there was much still to do. With luck, they would have it all ready in time.
And then: "Grrrrrr-GRRRRR," loud and louder!
What on earth was upsetting the dog?
"Here's a biscuit … What's the matter? You don't want it?"
The growling continued. The hair on the dog's back stood on end as she glared at, but did not approach, the door.
"Hush, dog, don't you know it may be him! We must make him welcome – no growling! – dumb dog!"
The sound of heavy boots approached the door. A thunderous knock – could it be him? No, a king would not come unescorted; it could be his people – perhaps his army.
He will need an army, yes, if he is to rescue us. There must be an army to throw the tyrants out – to give us back our rightful land.
The pounding continued
"Open in the name of Herod – open this door, or we will break it in!"
The growling continued.
"Hush, you will get us in trouble!," the man said to the dog, then he turned to his wife: "I will answer the door. We must appease them – at least for now."
Hesitantly he opened the door – just far enough to see two very large men in Roman army regalia.
"Is he here?," they demanded. "We heard he was coming – is he here?"
"Who is it you seek?" the man asked.
"The king, of course. Herod was told he would come tonight. We are here to welcome him and bring him to Herod so that he, too, may honor him," the soldiers said.
"No. I know of no king but Caesar," the man replied. "Why do you ask me?"
"Yours is the only inn in town," the soldiers answered. "We thought perhaps he would seek shelter here."
"No, but I will surely tell him, if he comes, ?that you are seeking him."
As he closed the door, the innkeeper called ?to Sarah, his wife.
"Come quickly! Soldiers were here – they are seeking him, too," he said. "I told you the prophets were right! This is the day – and this is the place! The Messiah is coming – perhaps to our very door and this very night! I have saved our best room for him."
Checking with Sarah, he asked, "Is everything else ready – how goes the meal?"
"All is ready," she responded. "The table is set with our finest. The calf is over the fire. All is perfect, just as you requested."
She couldn't help but add, "The inn is full. We could have sold that room many times over. A young couple came while you were talking to the soldiers. She was expecting – very close, it looked like. A sweet young thing – I think her first. I told them they could spend the night in the stable – at least it will keep them out of the weather."
"That's fine, Sarah," her husband said. "You had better check on the dinner. It can't be long now."
Another knock came at the door. Perhaps it is he!
The sound of animals came through the heavy wooden door. Opening it revealed a humble shepherd boy clutching his staff, a look of anxiety on his weathered face.
"What is it you want?" the innkeeper said. "We have no room. We are busy tonight – quick, state your business."
"We saw the star, and an angel appeared and told us to follow it," the young shepherd said. "We seek the new king. The star is over your town. Have you seen him? Is he here?"
"No, no king – not yet. We, too, are waiting," the innkeeper answered, kinder now. "We hope it won't be long. You may water your animals in our stable. There is a young family there taking shelter, and they have a newborn child – be sure not to disturb him."
As he turned away, an almost angelic smile crossed the shepherd's face.
"Strange people these shepherds were," the innkeeper said, "so simple and so easy to please. Who would think they would be so happy to share a stable with a poor couple and a baby?
Then, he added: "Sarah, why don't you check on the baby and mother. Perhaps take them some food – we have plenty.
"It may be a long night. We must stay awake ?for his coming! He probably will have his ?army with him."Yes, Sarah, the Messiah is coming ?– he is coming!!"

An addendum:
Palm DOES say that two users may co-exist separately, IF you install
Palm Desktop twice: into separate folders, from the separate accounts.
However, another support document seems to say that if you delete
PDesktop from one user account, it deletes it for all (which actually
makes sense). So, I guess the question then would be: How to get
PDesktop into two different install locations since it is already
installed in the traditional way? I believe that trying to install when
it's already there will not work.

Ok, I'm having 5 suites from "Swan Lake" and 5 suites "Sleeping Beauty" by Tchaikovsky scanned.
Before I scan them, I need a check to make sure they aren't already on the site (and I missed them).
Swan Lake - Overture

Swan Lake - Dance of the Swans

The other 6 are less common and I'm pretty sure you don't have them.
If any of those are already on there, let me know. If not, let me know and I'll scan them.

The Best of the Best
William A. Verkest, P.E.
APWA President
No one in public works will dispute the fact that public works professionals, at all levels, are the very best when it comes to being public servants. While most of our residents may never, thankfully, be directly impacted by our coworkers in the police and fire service, everyone benefits daily by public works functions. Reminding ourselves of this responsibility should be a regular part of our work plan.
What are you doing to ensure your department is ready to meet the challenge? How are you equipping your staff and coworkers to provide the most responsive, cost-effective services to your community? Does the suggestion ever come forth from the administration that an "audit" of the department might be a good idea? Are you finding your department being asked to do "more with less"?
Ten years ago this summer, the first two public works agencies earned the coveted title of "accredited." The Greeley, CO and Schaumburg, IL Public Works Departments invested the time, energy, and resources to work through this "new program." While the agencies were different in size and composition, the staff at each location was charged with the task of reviewing their current operations in comparison with the newly-developed Public Works Management Practices Manual. I can only imagine the questioning looks that must have greeted Bill Sterling and Bob Miller (then-Public Works Directors with Greeley and Schaumburg, respectively) as they explained to their staff the process and the goals they hoped to achieve at the end of the process.
The process was so new, neither the agency staff nor the evaluators knew what to expect! Being the first is not always easy. But the belief in the process and the value that would be derived by such an in-depth review of their operation, an opportunity to evaluate what they were already doing well and then how they might improve upon what was lacking, and the development of a more cohesive and knowledgeable workforce into an award-winning team, led them to continue through the program.
But the question is, after all the effort, have both agencies continued on with the "continuous improvement" that leads to reaccreditation? Did the program live up to their expectations? The answer is an unequivocal "Yes."
Were they good role models for the program? Apparently so since they have now been joined by 40 additional agencies as I write this article and eighteen more are involved in the program.
Is there a magic formula for being an "accredited" agency? It must not be the size of the agency's population, since they range from 14,000 residents to 1-1/2 million residents. They differ in composition from a single special use district to the full-service agency. Whether they have 42 or 600 employees doesn't seem to matter.
What do they have in common?
How do the agencies feel they are benefiting from the effort? Each month this year you can read an article from one of the agencies in the APWA Reporter. We've already heard how some who doubted the program originally have realized the value through the years. We know there have been actual documented cost savings in many instances by the improvements instituted. Reports of new respect for public works within the overall agency indicate a better understanding of the interaction between departments. We have talked with Public Works Directors brand new to an agency just preparing to complete the accreditation program who feel the program was the best introduction to a new department they could have experienced.
Moreover, I have been more than honored to personally present three certificates of accreditation. In each case, the sense of accomplishment, the overt pride and the demonstrated feel-good results reflected on the faces of the people who made it happen more than speak for the worthiness and success of this significant APWA program.
Please join me in congratulating the 42 agencies from 15 states and two Canadian provinces as we celebrate ten years of accreditation. Will you join the growing number of those we recognize as "the Best of the Best"?

*We now have gluten free pita for $0.75 extra or by the bag - please ask about pricing...
Welcome to Karam Restaurant!
The Original Owners, The One & Only Karam Restaurant in Portland...
Now located at:
515 SW 4th Ave. Portland, OR 97204
(between Alder and Washington on 4th, Next to Rialtos and Petersons Convenience Store.)
Serving Portland, Oregon for over 15 years. Beginning with Long Island Pizzeria in 1988, we eventually changed our name to Long Island Cafe adding a variety of traditional Lebanese dishes to our menu. Karam Restaurant started when we expanded our location to offer an even broader menu, featuring our delicious Lebanese and Syrian cuisine in a more intimate setting.
In 2011, the Karam family retired back to their village in Lebanon and their niece Magdalene, took over the restaurant to keep it in the family. At Karam Resturant, we wish to expand your food experience by bringing you the freshest, healthiest, and great tasting food around, all made from scratch, including our fresh pita, and gluten free pita.
Call Now to Order: 503.223.0830
About the Owner...
Magdalene discovered her culinary talent at a young age while working beside her mother, aunts and grandmother in Syria. Preparing for a weekly family gathering was a tradition among these Syrian/Lebanese women, and they inspired the young Magdalene to watch and learn. She realized that ingredients don't make a dish special; there must be love and a passion for cooking to bring a dish to perfection. Magdalene quickly became the family's favorite cook, and was eager to take her talent to the next level.
Upon her arrival in Oregon, Magdalene was eager to show off her abilities. Drawing inspiration from the complexities of Lebanese and Syrian foods, she deftly began blending the distinctive flavors of home with the more familiar American ingredients. Her first step into the professional culinary world was in 2006 when she opened a food and catering kiosk at the Portland Saturday Market. Her success skyrocketed, and soon private catering was incorporated into the business. Frequent and persistent inquires from her loyal customers urged her to ponder the idea of a sit-down, family style eatery. When her aunt (the owner of Karam Restaurant) decided to retire and move to Lebanon, Majdolin saw opportunity knocking at her door and took over the business. Before she could catch her breath, news crews and critics lined the walls raving about the quality, fresh ingredients and the unique blended precision of spices on the updated menu.
thank you and enjoy,
Magdalene & Karam Restaurant
Karam translated means "generous", a spirit and tradition which has been passed down in our family from generation to generation.

COLUMBIA In the long and difficult process of trying to transform South Carolina mens basketball from a laughingstock into a winner, coach Frank Martin had to know his first season might be rocky.
The Gamecocks were coming off three consecutive losing seasons, and Martin had little time to recruit the type of program-changing players he covets. He was, however, able to land a newcomer experienced with winning something the Gamecocks desperately needed.
From the moment shooting guard LaShay Page arrived to spend his fifth and final season of eligibility playing for USC, Martin praised Page for his leadership of a team with just one other senior. On the court, Page scored 11.7 points per game, second on the team, while playing nine of USCs first 12 contests. He struggled with shooting recently, but was unquestionably a valuable asset.
With one non-conference game remaining before Martin dives into his first SEC schedule, he will no longer have Page as a transition piece. USC announced Friday that Page was declared academically ineligible for the rest of the season.
The Gamecocks conclude non-conference play by hosting S.C. State today, and they also will not have their No. 3 scorer, wing player Michael Carrera, who averages 10.4 points and will miss his second straight game with a hip injury.
They likely will not have Bruce Ellington, their starting point guard for the past two seasons. Ellington has rejoined the basketball team now that his duties as a football wide receiver are finished for the season. But Martin said he plans to rest Ellington today and have him return to practice Sunday or Monday. USC opens SEC play Wednesday at Mississippi State. Ellington, USCs No. 2 scorer last season, has played in four games this season.
Now, the Gamecocks will not have Page, whose ineligibility leaves juniors Brenton Williams and Brian Richardson to take on larger roles. Williams already has. He didnt start any games last season, his first at USC after transferring from junior college. He averaged 6.1 points last year, but has boosted that to a team-best 13 this season. He started the three games Page missed, and his past seven games have included scoring outputs of 17, 10, 16, 12, 11, 17 and nine points.
Richardson was an offensive non-factor last season, when he started two games and averaged 3.2 points after starting 24 and averaging 5.9 as a freshman. His minutes dropped from 19.4 per game as a freshman to 12.3 last season. His only start this season came in USCs last game, as it was without Carrera and Page, but Richardson is averaging 8.3 points in 20.9 minutes.
Yet even with Ellington returning, Pages presence will not be easily replaced. Page, 23, led Southern Mississippi to the NCAA tournament last season, his second at the school after spending two at a Florida junior college. He had to go there after attending Dillon High, to improve his grades.
In part because he graduated from Southern Miss, Page received waivers from the NCAA and Southeastern Conference to spend his final season at USC without sitting out a year, which the NCAA usually requires for transferring players.
Coach Larry Eustachys departure from Southern Miss for Colorado State played a role in Pages desire to transfer to USC for his final season, Page said. So did Page having two daughters who live with their mother in Marion. Pages mother died last February, and he hoped his return home for his final season would provide happy closure to his career.
NOTES: Two USC football players underwent successful surgeries Friday. Neither is expected to participate in spring practices, USC said.
Starting quarterback Connor Shaw, a rising senior, had his left foot operated on. He injured it Oct. 27 against Tennessee and played through it for most of the rest of the season. Aggravating it forced him to the sideline for the end of Tuesdays Outback Bowl win over Michigan.
Rising sophomore linebacker Cedrick Cooper had surgery on his left knee, which he hurt in a pre-bowl practice. Cooper played primarily on special teams in 2012, as a redshirt freshman, but was going to compete for playing time this spring, because USC is losing all three of its starting linebackers.

- - Kazuo Misaki vs. Frank Trigg (http://www.mmaforum.com/general-mma-vbookie/7958-kazuo-misaki-vs-frank-trigg.html)
Kazuo Misaki vs. Frank Trigg
In his first bout as the PRIDE Welterweight Grand Prix Champion, Kazuo Misaki will take on Frank Trigg in a match that all mixed martial arts fans are sure to enjoy. Misaki made his name known around the world in his miraculous comeback win in the Welterweight Grand Prix, but how will he fair when he's not fighting on his home turf?
Frank Trigg is fighter on the worldwide level and a name that all mixed martial arts fans recognize. Relying on his wrestling backbone that he perfected at the University of Oklahoma, Trigg has mainly been active in the UFC. However, this will not be his first PRIDE fight. Trigg fought, and won over, Fabiano Iha in PRIDE 8 in November 1999. Trigg also fought in a SHOOTO match against Hayato "Mach" Sakurai that is now legend. Since his debut in October 1997, Trigg has amassed a record of 14 wins and 5 losses. Although Trigg uses his wrestling and punching skills to effectively ground-and-pound, his standing striking is also a force to be reckoned with. In his latest fight, Trigg beat Jason "Mayhem" Miller on December 1, 2006 by TKO in the 2nd round.
While Misaki also has a lot of momentum behind him now, Trigg is a popular fighter in Las Vegas and will likely have the audience behind him as he fights on the home filed. Trigg's presence in this event is dangerous for Misaki, as he will no doubt be looking for any opportunity to destroy the Champion and establish a position for himself in PRIDE.
i'll take 200 on trigg.
100 on trigg
2000 on Frank Trigg.
How can you bet on Trigg? Misaki is a top fighter at 185.
100,000 on Misaki for the win.
Another thing, Trigg has been training with Bas & Couture for quite sometime now :thumbsup: I think its gunna be a good fight man
Not big odds on alot of these fights...:(
1K on Misaki
trigg will loose......

Ryan Reynolds won't say much about his split from Scarlett Johansson. But he will offer this: Divorce hurts like hell, but it gets better. Eventually.
"Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain, but you come out of it," the actor, 34, tells Details in a new interview. "I'm not out of it yet. At all. But I sense that as I do come through it, there's optimism. How can there not be?"
Still, the Green Lantern star, and reigning Sexiest Man Alive, says he has no interest in dating right now.
"It just seems so kind of alien to me at this point," he says. "I've been in relationships pretty much since high school. Some people look at that as a good thing. I think wiser people might see that as a house of cards."
And the prospect of finding another life partner in the future? "I don't think I want to get married again, but you always reevaluate these things," he says.
Don't expect much more from him on the topic of Johansson. "I'll say this," he says. "The media wasn't invited to my marriage, and they're definitely not invited into the divorce."
Nevertheless, it's hardly all doom and gloom for Reynolds. Upbeat and funny throughout the interview, he's clearly having fun shooting movies, and alternately indulging and rejecting his status as a movie star.
Asked if he has a bodyguard in L.A., he replies: "No! Why? Because I'm not P. Diddy. Also, I'm six-foot-two. If I need security around me, there's a problem. Then I'm really selling people a load of sh––."
But at other points, he jokes about being a diva. "I only drink panda tears," he says. "Do not bring me water. Do not bring me filtered water. I want the tears of a newborn panda, and I will have them – because I'm Ryan Reynolds!"
All in all, Reynolds seems to be looking on the bright side of things, as he readjusts to his new life. "Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up," he says. "I gotta say, I'm a different person than I was six months ago."

Real Housewives of Disney SNL Video: Lindsay Lohan Saturday Night Live Comeback?WendyM
Watch the "The Real Housewives of Disney" SNL sketch, featuring Lindsay Lohan in her Saturday Night Live comeback glory.
While the rest of the Lohan SNL episode didn't have a lot of highlights, the Real Housewives of Disney sketch was a definite bright spot.
Brilliant, dare I say?
The Real Housewives franchise is ripe for mocking, but bringing the Disney element to the table really upped the funny by a mile.
Belle, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Cinderella in her boozy haze (who knew?) are represented, as is Prince Charming, hilariously played by Taran Killam.
The video promises "It's the princesses as you've never seen them before" and they're not lying.
Snow White warns, "I'm the fairest of them all — until you cross me." Ouch.
There's all the housewife drama, including the hair weaves, the fighting, one of the princesses who think she can sing, and… oops… Jasmine had sex with Iago the Parrot!
The Real Housewives of Disney is definitely an installment of the Bravo reality series I would watch.
Sounds like Bravo's Andy Cohen can get behind it too – he tweeted: "Love Real Housewives of Disney!"

WASHINGTON -- At the beginning of the IRS Tea Party targeting controversy, the White House insisted the scandal was confined to a rogue operation in the agency's Cincinnati office. But now, it's clear the scandal was rooted in the nation's capital.
"We're following the facts; they undeniably now lead to Washington," Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said.
During its recent hearing, the House watchdog committee uncovered a connection between the extra scrutiny of applications for tax exempt status of Tea Party groups and the IRS's Chief Counsel William J. Wilkins.
What does it mean now that the IRS chief counsel has been implicated in the Tea Party targeting scandal? Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, answers that question and more on The 700 Club, July 30.
Wilkins is one of just two IRS positions appointed by the president.
Carter Hull, a lawyer who retired from the IRS after 48 years of service, told the committee he was directed to send his recommendations about the tax applications of Tea Party groups to the Office of the Chief Counsel.
"Look, we know how this works. We know that when you put this much discretion and this much discretionary power in the hands of the few, eventually, it may well be abused for partisan political purposes. That happened here and we've got to get to the bottom of it," Rep. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said. The White House now calls the IRS scandal "phony."
However, soon after it broke, President Obama appointed Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to investigate. Lew said there's no evidence of political wrongdoing.
"We have to look at the facts," Lew said. "There have been lot of investigations; there have been a lot of hearings, IGs, the Justice Department. There is no evidence of any political decision maker who was involved in any of those decisions."
But when pressed by the host of "Fox News Sunday," he wouldn't say if anyone has asked Wilkins if he was involved with targeting Tea Party groups. Tom McClusky, works for the Family Research Council, a non-profit conservative group that was audited.
He told CBN News political targeting by the IRS is nothing new. He said the agency has become little more than a political arm of the party in charge of the White House.
"These are American citizens being targeted," he said. "They're not phony people. This is not an Astroturf kind of scandal. This is a scandal that has actual roots and shows the inherent problems at the IRS.
