Skip to comments.D.C. twits learn tricks of trade up
Posted on 05/02/2007 9:07:26 AM PDT by raccoonradio
First, a prediction about the impending release of the D.C. madams client list:
Barney Frank will not be implicated in this sex scandal.
But when will these fools in Washington ever learn? They think theyre so damn smart, but they gave their cell phone numbers to a madam - a convicted pimp, no less, whose boyfriend once had a restraining order out on her.
Two words, smart guys: trade up. Never do, or say, anything incriminating to anyone who can trade you up to the prosecutors if or when, and its always when, they get lugged.
Dont they teach such basic life lessons in the schools anymore? By the 10th grade, every youth should know never to say anything to anybody that he or she wouldnt mind reading in transcript form on the front page of the newspaper.
But these Beltway boobs couldnt be bothered with simple precautions, and now theyre busted. A convicted pimp has their cell phone numbers, and guess what. Shes trying to trade up.
Imagine how many names and cell phone numbers ABC News must have if they can hold off, in the middle of ratings sweeps, for days, until a Friday night, when hardly anyone is watching TV. Must be a lot of Democrats among the johns.
If only they had heeded the immortal words of former West End boss Martin Lomasney: Never write when you can speak. Never speak when you can nod. Never nod when you can wink.
And never, ever give a pimp your cell phone number. And nowadays when somebody mentions looking for love in all the wrong places, that includes the Internet. Just as that nice hit man you hire to kill your spouse invariably turns out to be an undercover state cop, that 13-year-old in the chatroom is likewise a member of the local constabulary. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel, even Miss America is getting into the Internet act.
When he was mayor of Cincinnati, Jerry Springer wrote a check to a prostitute. That was mistake No. 1. Mistake No. 2 was, the check bounced. In Springers case, it turned out to be a great career move. But most guys ensnared in scandals like this end up moving back home with their parents.
Every day its a new scandal. Last week it was the coach of the female BC hockey team. His career was ended by X-rated text messages from his top player. Then there was the married Pepsi executive, fired from his $6 million job after a woman he was going after on the Internet suddenly decided she needed some cash. That was in the paper yesterday, along with a TV babe who got caught sending photos of herself in a bikini to a married cameraman.
Guess what - the lensman and his spouse had a joint e-mail account. How quaint is that!
Unlike Vegas, what happens on the Internet does not stay on the Internet. Lovin here, livin there, lyin in between - its never been easy, but it seems like your average hack used to take more precautions.
The rule at the State House was very simple. Your girlfriend never worked for you. She worked for the chairman of another legislative committee, and in return, you employed his girlfriend. The same rules, in other words, that clerk-magistrates use in hiring one anothers offspring.
If youre in TV, never let the girlfriend stand behind you in a liveshot.
Whatever line of work youre in, dont mentor anyone of the opposite sex. On second thought, dont mentor anyone, period.
Heres how that was explained to me many years ago by a pol at City Hall: If they see you twice with a woman, youre bleeping her. If they see you twice with a guy, youre gay. If they see you twice with a drink, youre a drunk.
And if all else fails, theres always saltpeter.
Howie column ping
Dam.......it's gettin so a guy can't have any fun any more without being on someone elses list.
Old proverb:
Never give a man a club, if there is any chance he might use it on you...........
I wonder if any of these guys ever heard the old proverb,"A smart fox doesn't eat his chickens too close to home"?
!!!! One of the funniest Monty Python sketches of all time!
I disagree with a lot of this column... and I think everyone here should too. He explains over and over that you should never do anything wrong if you might get caught.
That is sleazy. The correct response is just never do anything wrong.
The one thing he got right was when he said 'never do anything you would not want to see on the news'. That is good advice.
Never read Howie before?
You have to take Howie's column's in their proper context in order to get the wit and the laughs. When he writes, he is often in character as a friendly advisor to scumbag politicians. He doesn't advocate doing the wrong thing - - he just presumes that doing the wrong thing is a way of life for the scumbag politicians and Howie is just trying to be "helpful".
> I disagree with a lot of this column... and I think everyone here should too. He explains over and over that you should never do anything wrong if you might get caught.
He's making fun of the pols, not dispensing advice to you and me. As a journalist Carr has made a career of exposing political fraud and corruption and written a book on the close ties of politicians to the Boston mob.
Reportedly she told her hoes to not keep records. She seems to have done so strictly for blackmail.
Wonder which clients are in her "top 5" cellphone plan.
There's a safe bet!
This is Massachusetts, to be a pol is a good predictor of future felon status. Everyone is for sale, fairly cheap too. If you are looking for honesty and intelligence in a legislative body don't look at the Great and General Court of the Commonwealth.
hmm OK - I get it now. Much more enjoyable this way.
Howie's Brothers Bulger book mentioned a whole bunch of
legislators in the old says who had "a photo finish with a grand jury".
Rules of MA politics:
Nothing on the level.
Everything is a deal.
No deal too small.
old DAYS
>>Barney Frank will not be implicated in this sex scandal.
But give him time and there will be a sex scandal for him.
Actually there was one, years ago.
Barney does have to be complimented for a couple good
one liners though, talking about the plan to depress
the Central Artery (aka the $15 billion Big Dig):
"Depress the Central Artery? Wouldn't it be cheaper and
easier to raise the city?"
"If they want to depress the Central Artery they should just have Mike Dukakis talk to it."
But and this is very important you needed a second person to verify the $500 under. Moakley, according to unnamed friends, kept a note book.
I didn't know that! At least I didn't know the specifics. I did, of course, assume that paying off the politicians was just a cost of doing business in MA. (Which is why I just yawned over Big Dig contractors "donating" to the pols — if they hadn't, they wouldn't have been Big Dig contractors!)
I always thought Moakley was relatively honest, though, at least for a MA pol. I thought I read in the papers when he died that his estate consisted largely of his house — one of those nice big ones along the beach, to be sure — and nice at least until he redecorated (or whatever he'd call it), making it into a world-class eyesore!
You mean me? I'm a Southie girl, born and bred! LOL!
"No one with such a lack of judgment as to trust their fate to a hooker deserves to hold public office-....."
These are the horses @#sses to whom we have entrusted our national security...why am I now not suprised 911 happened?!!!
On a different note, did you know Stan Sanuck?
Never even heard the name I don't think!
"Never do it with someone who doesn't have as much to lose as you do."
Ignore this rule at your peril.
Just wondering. His parents owned a Polish Market in Southie good friend, absolute mad man.

Contrast, courage, and challenge ... these are the words one may think of when viewing "Far Out Isn't Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story," written, produced, and directed by Brad Bernstein. Some may be familiar with Ungerer's award winning children's books, but perhaps less so his subsequent and controversial antiwar posters and adult erotica. The themes of contrast, courage and challenge are prevalent throughout the 98-minute film and the artist himself touches upon them numerous times. The documentary, which gives Ungerer carte blanche to express his ideas, premieres on screens this summer.
Tomi Ungerer was born November 28, 1931, in Strasbourg, France, of German heritage. In the film, he reflects back to the outbreak of World War II. His family attempted to keep their French identity, but the French language was forbidden during the Nazi occupation of Alsace. Fear was prevalent, and the young boy experienced much of it. Life never returned to normal for the youngster after the war, as his heavy German accent (which is still very pronounced as he speaks in this film) created some prejudice against him. He arrived in New York City in 1956, and began writing and illustrating children's books. It was in his work he confronted the concepts of fear and courage, stemming from his memories of fascist occupation.
Tomi Ungerer's artistic design went far beyond children's books. He drew illustrations for such publications as the Village Voice, which led to more ambitious adult/erotic collections. A trip to the American South in the early 1960s shocked him as he experienced his first taste of racism through segregation. His outrage led to the creation of the 1964 anti-racist book, "Underground Sketchbook." He followed up in 1966 with "The Party," a parody of elitist society he observed in Manhattan. By this time, the Vietnam War was full force. The atrocities from that war brought back memories of his youth under German occupation. This led to his designing extreme and poignant anti-Vietnam-War posters. Viewers of this film who are unfamiliar with Ungerer's posters will be startled at the strong and harsh imagery that is shown. They really pack a punch, as reiterated by the artist during his commentary.
The film presents much archival footage of a youthful Ungerer exploring the Manhattan of the 1950s and '60's. There are praises from contemporaries Jules Feiffer and Maurice Sendak, who says that inspiration for his classic, "Where The Wild Things Are," came from Ungerer's earlier works. Both fellow illustrators make it clear they had no aversions to Ungerer's "adult" art. Viewers also get some insight into his family life, with on-screen comments from his daughter, who says her father has always searched for an identity. From his heritage to his art, he defines contrast.
In 1969, the artist reached the zenith of his work in "adult" illustration with "Fornicon: The Erotic Art of Tomi Ungerer." He was still very active in writing children's books. Ungerer had no problem traversing both worlds of art, and managed to keep them separate. Unfortunately, libraries across America were not as understanding, and his popular works were removed from library shelves. This took a toll on the artist, and he retreated to a small town in Nova Scotia during the mid-1970s.
Reflecting on this period in his life, Ungerer explores the frustration of an artist paying the price for pushing the limits of his abilities. He describes how ideas kept snowballing into his mind without effort. He says every challenge should immediately be followed with another greater challenge, which leads to the title of the film: "Far Out Isn't Far Enough." Unsure of an afterlife, he welcomes the prospect of nothingness as the greatest challenge. Even in finality, the spirit of the artist shines through.
Nowadays, Ungerer splits his time between Ireland and Strasbourg. Images from his hometowns are interspersed with commentary and colorful animated sequences in his current work. It's an equal treat for mind and eye.
His children's books have steadily resurfaced through the decades, and are once again welcomed in American libraries. In 1998, he received the Hans Christian Andersen Award For Illustration. He seems genuinely happy to once again be acknowledged for that work, as witnessed by the emotion he shows on screen. Still an activist, he has worked hard to support the European Union, especially between France and Germany.
This film will keep audiences engaged throughout, and will be a unique inspiration to artists who often see their creative processes making extreme, sharp turns ... sometimes at a great cost to the individual.

Jimenez: CCISD superintendent search shut out public
The Corpus Christi Independent School District trustees have all but settled on their next superintendent. They are focusing on one candidate. A second interview is scheduled. They have made the candidate's name known ? Roland Hernandez, the district's chief administrative officer.
Here's what they haven't done: be transparent about how they have arrived at this point.
On Thursday, after nine hours of closed door meetings, the board announced Hernandez as the only person asked in for a second interview. Board president Carol Scott said the board had interviewed four candidates before settling on Hernandez. Who were they? We don't know. The public was not allowed any insight into the discussions or even a glimpse of what was asked in interviews.
Oh, there was talk, notably from Trustee John Longoria, that this time it would be different. The public would get to see, hear and talk to the final group of candidates. This board, it was said, would break the mold used by most Texas districts who use the "lone finalist" shell game to hide the superintendent selection process. Nice talk, but the trustees, after interviewing what they considered their best four finalists and arriving at a consensus on Hernandez, decided that making public the names of the others would serve no purpose. So much for transparency.
A more transparent process would have made public the names of the four before the trustees arrived at a decision. Instead, all we know is that 49 persons applied, one woman was in the final group and not much else.
Who else was in the final running? What were the credentials of the other finalists? Were there other local candidates? What did the trustees ask and what did the applicants answer? We, the public, were cut out of that process.
The shame is that the law allows this murky selection process for school superintendents in Texas. It now says that districts must allow 21 days to pass before a superintendent candidate is hired. The result is that Texas districts normally declare a "lone finalist," which begins the 21 days during which the district and the "finalist" can negotiate.
Hernandez, significantly, has yet to be named the "lone finalist." This, I assume, leaves a bit of daylight for the trustees, but it could also be just perfunctory.
Nothing prohibits a district from naming several finalists for the job or presenting the finalists before the public. The trustees would get the final selection but the public would get input into the process.
Allowing the interview process by the trustees to be conducted publicly would at least be some level of transparency. This would have given the public not only a measure of the candidates, but some insight into the thinking of trustees as they make probably the most crucial hire in the district.
Instead the whole process, again, was carried on behind closed doors.
The argument is that the best candidates might be afraid to put their names forward if their present employers were aware that they were looking elsewhere. Seriously? This transparency has not harmed the search for city manager or for presidents at Del Mar College and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Was the process harmed by the transparency? No, in fact, it was immeasurably improved with the eventual hire having that much more legitimacy when he came on the job.
My criticism here is for the trustees, not for Hernandez. He must make his own mark if he, in fact, turns out to be the next superintendent. As a former Waco superintendent, he brings experience in the top job. He is a known quantity to the trustees by virtue of his present position, a quality that perhaps influenced his hiring. But he must work to introduce himself to the public.
The only recourse for the public is the ballot box and the Texas Legislature. Every incumbent running for re-election ought to made to defend the decision to keep the hiring process behind closed doors and every challenger should be asked to make a pledge on behalf of transparency. There should be renewed efforts to change the law to force districts to allow public input into the superintendent selection process. This is too important a job and too much is at stake to allow such secrecy.

Did you miss the part when she said to him after asking about "Microsoft""OKAY.. you got me. They do tell us to push the xbox more than PS4. I'm sorry-- I'm not supposed to be even telling you this right now.. GOODBYE" *hangs up*
Whenever I watched a review of a multiplatform title, it was played on Xbox. The few videos I saw outside of reviews, Xbox controllers were used as well, so yeah. Also, once in a while they'll insert a positive Xbox (haven't seen a negative one yet) news article on the PS3's news, which feels awkward.

That is so staged its not even funny =_='' you can hear the guy whose 'calling' gamestop about to laugh like every 5 seconds :\ Also the person who picked up the phone didn't do a gamestop 'greeting' which is required of any associate.
I work at GS, look at when that video was posted... it was in June, at that time we were doing very very very limited reserves on the system due to the whole DRM fiasco, our in store television program wasn't even MENTIONING xbox one one it until after they removed the DRM BS.
No one is being paid by Microsoft to promote the xbox one, and we don't get commission (I wish).
You are way to gullible.

As someone who has been on the Xbox One board since its announcement, not a whole lot of what you just said is true or stretches the truth. Almost every topic that got deleted was trolling right from the start or devolved into insults and arguments, and there wasn't ever any flood of paid anythings; it was just one of the most obvious trolls of all time laying some pretty obvious bait that people in the very same topic caught on to that has since been touted as some sort of proof of paid shills, thus giving the troll the attention and fame he craved so dearly. :P

You guys are really grasping for straws here. I work in games retail industry, Microsoft or any other gaming company does not pay me to push one brand over the other. Hell I don't even earn commission on any sales like others guys in the hardware departments.
If someone comes up to me and asks me what console to get PS3/X360, now PS4/XbOne (Which has happened a lot) I dont ever push one console over another because I like it. It won't be me who is going to be using it. It comes down to what suits their needs best with types of games and features they want.
I dont work at Gamestop, but a retailer in Australia, however that kind of nonsense doesn't happen either place.
Incentives on the other hand do happen and that's up to particular publishers. Usually it will give free copies of collector editions or something to stores that do the best pre orders or a display in store.
This video is BS.
I get paid to Promote xbone. Its the best. I have no shame.
Commisions might not really be the SAME as getting paid. I can see MS having some "program" in GS stores, for every xbone they sell, they get 5 bucks.... and a context for the store in the state that sells the most bones. They win money.
Sounds like M$ have a marketing staff that is on the ball. They should have been in the room 3 years ago, at design time.
business is business. If its legal, its just business. THank you.

If the topic wasn't enough, this reply shows one's colours.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it isn't even proven that Microsoft pays Gamestop to push the Xbox One. All she says is (along the lines) "they get me to push the Xbox One, I get commission blah blah blah".
The whole thing could be Gamestop requiring them to push the Xbox One. Why? Because it's the dearest. And if employee's are getting a commission, then bloody hell what a shocker!?
Her hanging up doesn't prove that it's all Microsoft's doing. The guy wasted enough of her time, and got her to 'reveal' that they're trying to push the dearest option over the cheaper option, but whatever you can to spin, eh?

The Pool: Architecture, Culture and Identity in Australia is the companion publication for Australia's highly anticipated contribution to the Biennale Architettura 2016, curated by Aileen Sage Architects (Isabelle Toland and Amelia Holliday) with Michelle Tabet. Designed to offer a richer experience of the exhibition, the book explores the relationship between architecture and Australian cultural identity through personal anecdotes about one of our country's most significant public spaces. Eight prominent Australians have shared their pool stories, including Olympians Shane Gould and Ian Thorpe; authors Anna Funder and Christos Tsiolkas; musician Paul Kelly; environmentalist Tim Flannery; fashion designers Romance Was Born; and art curator Hetti Perkins. Prahran Pool appears in Chapter 8, titled 'Deeper Water', featuring Paul Kelly's reflections on the pool's role in the deeper moment in life.
The Pool exhibition opens to the public in Venice at the 2016 Architecture Biennale on 28th May, 2016, and runs until 27 November. Follow @VeniceArchAus on Instagram for updates of the installation and launch of the exhibition, visit the exhibition website, or order a copy of the book from Books at Manic.

Path To The Draft: Patric Young's Journey To The NBA
The four-year player under head coach Billy Donovan had a successful campaign at the University of Florida. The Jacksonville native finished his collegiate career as the 2013-14 Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year, AP All-American, SEC Scholar- Athlete of the Year, and the 11th player in the history of the Florida basketball program to finish their career with more than 1,300 points and 800 rebounds. In addition, Young helped the 2014 senior class to 120 wins ? the most wins of any class in UF history, as well as three SEC championships and a Final Four appearance.
After graduating from UF and finishing up his senior year, Florida?s big man has remained focused on pursuing his goal of playing for an NBA team. He had a solid performance and strong showing at the 2014 NBA Draft Combine where he bench pressed 185 pounds 25 consecutive times and measured 6-foot-10 without sneakers. 22 year-old Young has also been traveling across the country visiting and working out with several teams throughout the draft process including the New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, and others.
The former standout Gator shut his Twitter account down for several weeks in preparation for the NBA Draft and just recently expressed his excitement for the day he?s been waiting his entire life for.
Hoop dreams come true in 4 days!!! "With the ___th pick the ___ ___ select Patric Young in the 2014 NBA Draft" can't wait!!! ? Patric Young (@BigPatYoung4) June 23, 2014
? Patric Young (@BigPatYoung4) June 21, 2014
The 2014 NBA draft class is loaded with talent this year with players like Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins, and Young.?The Florida product?is projected to go late in the first round or early in the second. Meanwhile, former Gators Casey Prather and Scottie Wilbekin are not projected to be selected in this year?s NBA draft, but will likely have the opportunity to make a roster as a free agent.
Here's a look at Young's preseason scouting report:
And a glimpse of one of his workouts with the Gators:

The Sargassum Fish (Histrio histrio) occurs worldwide in tropical and warm-temperate waters. In the western Atlantic, it is found from Massachusetts, Bermuda, and the northern Gulf of Mexico and West Indies to southeastern Brazil. (Boschung et al. 1983; Robins and Ray 1986) A small number of specimens have been collected on several occasions off the Kona coast of Hawaii. The discovery of two small juveniles (both about 10 mm SL) here indicates that these specimens are the products of a breeding population rather than migrants from the west. (Pietsch et al. 1992).
The Sargassum Fish has the broadest longitudinal and latitudinal range of any frogfish. Its distribution largely coincides with that of floating Sargassum Weed, with which it is apparently an obligate associate. In the western Atlantic, this species extends from the Gulf of Maine to the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, Uruguay. On the eastern side of the Atlantic, it is apparently quite rare; Pietsch and Grobecker (1987) reported specimens only from the Azores and off West Africa. An old record from Vardo, northern Norway, is likely based on a straggler carried northward by the North Atlantic and Norwegian currents. In the Indian Ocean, the Sargassum Fish is known from the tip of South Africa eastward to India and Sri Lanka, with verified records from the Red Sea, Madagascar, Reunion, and Mauritius. In the western Pacific and on the western margin of the Pacific plate, it occurs from Hokkaido, Japan, to tropical Australia (about as far south as Perth in the west and Sydney in the east), including Taiwan, the Philippines and Moluccas, and the southern coast of Papua New Guinea. There are rare but verified records from Guam, Tonga, New Caledonia, and the North Island of New Zealand. (Pietsch and Grobecker 1987; Pietsch et al. 1992 and references therein)

Vim for C Programmers
If there is one feature in Vim for which it wins hands-down compared to any other editor or IDE, it is full-featured syntax highlighting. The colors available in Vim make it a veritable delight to work with source code. It not only makes your life colorful, it also makes it easy to spot errors ahead of compilation. Common errors such as a mismatched ),} or ] in the code are easy to see. It also reminds you if you have left a string hanging without the closing " or '. It tells you the comment doesn't end with */, or that you are nesting comments. Syntax highlighting is smart when it comes to C syntax.
Typically, you wouldn't have to do anything to enable Vim's syntax highlighting; :sy on does the job in case your distribution doesn't enable it by default. As with other commands, you can add this to your ~/.vimrc file.
If colors still don't show up, something is wrong with your terminal. Fix it first. :se filetype on is another thing you can try in addition to :sy enable.
Let us assume that you have colors displayed correctly. Say you don't like a certain color, or because blue is not visible in dark backgrounds, you can't read C comments. To solve the second problem, a simple :se background=dark does the job. If you want to disable syntax highlighting for C comments, type :highlight clear comment.
To change colors, first use the :syntax command to display all the syntax items for the given buffer. Then, identify the syntax group you want to change. If you want strings displayed in a bright white color, which is easy to read against a black background, simply enter:
:highlight String ctermfg=white
or, for gvim users, type:
:highlight String guifg=white
You also can change the syntax color of any group. Typical syntax groups are Statement, Label, Conditional, Repeat, Todo and Special. You can change the attributes of highlighting as well, such as underline and bold. For instance, if you want to display NOTE, FIXME, TODO and XXX with underlining, you can use:
:highlight Todo cterm=underline
or you can both add bold and change the color:
:highlight Repeat ctermfg=yellow cterm=bold
You can create your own set of highlight commands and save it in your ~/.vimrc file so that every time you edit your source code, your favorite colors are displayed.
In addition, Vim has a feature for variable name completion. While typing, simply press Ctrl-N or Ctrl-P in insert mode. Remember, this works only in insert mode. All other commands mentioned above work in command mode. You can cycle through possible completions by pressing Ctrl-N again.
This helps us avoid errors while typing, because structure members and function names often can be misspelled. This works best when Vim can use tags, so make sure a ctags file is in place.
Vim understands C well enough to be able to indent code automatically. The default indentation style uses tabs, which may not be appropriate for some people. In order to remove tabs completely from the source, enter:
:set expandtab :retab
which converts all tabs into spaces in such a way that the indentation is preserved. While typing C text, Vim automatically indents for you. This helps you figure out where you have your matching brace. You can match braces, ), ] and } with the % command in command mode. Simply take the cursor to a brace and press %, which takes you to the corresponding closing or opening brace. This works for comments as well as for #if, #ifdef and #endif.
After finishing typing the program, if you want to indent the whole file at one go, type gg=G in command mode. You then can remove tabs if you want by the above-mentioned method. gq is the command sequence for indenting comments. You can select a region and indent it too with the = operator.
If Vim's default tab indentation is painful to use, you can disable it by setting :se nocindent. Other indentation options are available. You can indent code between two braces and between certain line numbers. You can learn more by typing :help indent.txt.

I find this incredibly useful, hopefully you will to.
Adding a small note
The article was quite marvellous and useful.
I just wanted to add, for those who are new to vim, that most of the settings like "se nu" can be made to persist across logins by just putting that setting in .vimrc file in the user's home directory.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Shamus Cooke: This two-party big lie is not an accident, but an expression of a deeper held belief: that the U.S. government must be directed to meet the needs of the super wealthy who own U.S. corporations.
Big Republican Lies About Jobs
Robert Reich: Truth doesn't seem to matter. Republicans figure if their big lies are repeated often enough, people will start to believe them. Unless, that is, those big lies are repudiated – and big truths are told in their place.
The Republican Shakedown
Robert Reich: As long as Democrats refuse to talk about the almost unprecedented buildup of income, wealth, and power at the top – and the refusal of the super-rich to pay their fair share of the nation's bills – Republicans will convince people it's all about government and unions.
Across-the-Board Cuts Needed to Avoid Fiscal Armageddon
Ivan Eland: To keep with the bipartisan spirit after the Gabrielle Giffords' assassination attempt and also to avoid partisan fighting over spending priorities, which will bog down and probably eventually kill any significant budget cuts, all government programs should be cut by 15 percent from last year's budget level, including heretofore sacred defense and entitlement programs.
Who Says Republicans Have No New Ideas?
Robert Reich: Republicans haven't come up with a single new idea in almost 60 years. Herbert Hoover was the last Republican president to introduce a new Republican theme back in 1952 at the Republican National Convention. Since then they've repeated the message. Of course, Herbert Hoover, you may remember, didn't have a sterling record when it came to the economy. As president, he presided over the Great Crash of 1929 and ushered in the Great Depression.
The Tea Party Conservative Strategy for 2011
Robert Reich: Next week starts the new Congress, and with it the Tea Party conservatives. What are they going to do about government spending? Knowing they don't stand a chance of getting a direct repeal of the healthcare mandate, they'll try to strip the federal budget appropriation of money needed to put the healthcare mandate into effect. This could lead to a standoff with the White House over government funding in general, and a possible government shutdown.
California Budget Deficit Not a Real Problem
Adam Eran: The bottom line here is that State spending disproportionately goes to lower-income people, while recent tax cuts have disproportionately favored the wealthiest taxpayers.
The Big Economic Story; Why Obama Isn't Telling It
Robert Reich: In reality, the lousy economy is due to insufficient demand – the result of the nation's almost unprecedented concentration of income at the top.
Party Like It's 1994
The vast majority of Americans never supported a "privatize-and-pillage" attack on Social Security. Yet many of the Republican candidates in 2010 are on record supporting all manner of schemes to dismember Social Security.
Whom Do You Trust?
Steve Hochstadt: Those who want government to go away, or at least get a lot smaller, seem to have two ideas about how to shrink government: Cut out the "waste" and let private companies take over many of its functions. Their assumption is that the private sector can do these jobs better and cheaper. Is that true?
Why Growth Is Good
Robert Reich: If governments keep hacking away at their budgets while consumers almost everywhere are becoming more cautious about spending, global demand will shrink to the point where a worldwide dip is inevitable.
Forget Double Dip: We're Still in One Long Big Dipper
Robert Reich: It's nonsense to think of the economy heading downward again into a double dip when most Americans never emerged from the first dip. We're still in one long Big Dipper.
Budget Cowardice Compounds Problem
Steve Hochstadt: When conservative Republicans controlled Washington under George Bush, they spent government money on their pet projects with little regard for the long-term budgetary consequences. Now Republicans at the national level have made the deficit one of their major points of attack against the Democrats in preparation for the November elections.

It's your boy (it's your boy)
[Verse 1]
I'm here for those hard times
Your life's real and I see that
Those bills hard, and that rent due
But I swear to god, you gon' get through
Long nights I done thought about
If I was gon' make it
I don't care now, it's for the love
I'm like a fiend, I'm for the drug
Population is growin' fast
And jobs is hard to come by
But don't trip, you gon' be good
Cos everyone get their time to shine
Everyone is a superstar
You don't need those shiny cars
You don't need the best clothes
Just save your heart
That's from my heart
All the stuff that's really smart
They look at me like I'm Mr. Man
Yes, ma'am, I made mistakes
But never picked when I raise my hand
That made me hate school
What's next? I'm skippin' class
Education is a first
It comes first before everything
Everything is anything
And anything is everything
I don't care, I let my nuts hang
For the whole world cos I'm back now
Berkeley boys, I'm back now
From Marin city to Sac town
Oakland and back down
Frisco to Richmond
San Jose to Vallejo
And Pittsburg to Fairfield
East Coast to down south
Square bears and gang stares
Shouts out to Palo Alto
Bruh bruh got grapes there
This song samples from Celine Dion's classic "My Heart Will Go On" featured in the film "Titanic".
In this song, Lil B discusses the importance of keeping your head up, as he knows that times are hard, and he just wants to give back to his fans.

The Touran is roomy, practical and extremely well built. It's also good to drive. Expensive, but worth the extra. …
The Citroen C3 Picasso combines decent practicality with catwalk style, and a cosseting ride with secure handling. Running costs are affordable, too.
The Citroen C3 Picasso is a compact MPV that offers seating for five, a cosseting ride and secure handling.
It's also affordable and cheap to run, which more than makes up for the fact that it's not quite as good to drive or as spacious as a Ford B-Max.
Customers can pick from a choice of two trims. The entry-level Edition version comes with 16in alloy wheels, air-con, cruise control, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and rear parking sensors. The Platinum model gets a host of trim upgrades, including tinted rear glass and bigger 17in alloy wheels, as well as dual-zone climate, automatic lights and wipers and electric heated mirrors. Unless you really want some of those upgrades, we'd save the money and go for the Edition version.
Only two engine options are available. One is a three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol, badged the Puretech 110, the other is a four-cylinder 1.6-litre diesel called the BlueHDi 100. Both come with a five speed manual gearbox. There's no automatic option, though. Either way, unless you're doing an awful lot of miles each year, we'd recommend the Puretech 110. It's a punchy, flexible and efficient engine that suits the Picasso very well. It's also a lot cheaper than the diesel.

Aetna considers allogeneic (ablative and non-myeloablative) hematopoietic cell transplantation medically necessary for individuals with myelofibrosis (MF) when any of the following criteria is met:
Aetna considers a repeat allogeneic (ablative or non-myeloablative) hematopoietic cell transplantation medically necessary for individuals with myelofibrosis and primary graft failure or who have relapsed.
Aetna considers autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation experimental and investigational for myelofibrosis due to insufficient evidence in the peer-reviewed literature.

Primary MF is considered a chronic myeloproliferative disorder and is characterized by variable degrees of cytopenia, cytosis, bone marrow fibrosis, a leukoerythroblastic blood picture, and extramedullary hematopoiesis, which can result in hepatosplenomegaly (Cervantes et al, 2009). MF is a heterogeneous disease in that MF is an indolent disease in some patients, who may survive for decades, to an aggressive disease in others, with disabling symptoms, lowered quality of life and in some cases survival of less than a year (McLornan et al, 2012). MF can be either primary or secondary, and can develop in patients with polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. The median age is in the seventh decade and approximately 70% of patients are positive for the Janus2 kinase mutation (Ballen, 2012).
There have been no available conventional drug therapies for MF which have been shown to prolong survival. Palliative agents include erythropoietin, androgens, immunomodulatory agents, interferons, cytoreductive therapies and non-pharmacologic approaches. The non-pharmacologic approaches include blood transfusion, splenic irradiation, and splenectomy. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is considered to be the only potentially curative therapy for MF (McLornan et al, 2012).
The American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Guideline on the role of cytotoxic therapy with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the therapy of myelodysplastic syndrome states that" early SCT is recommended for patients with an International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) score of intermediate (INT) -2 (considered high risk) at diagnosis who have a suitable donor and meet the transplant center's eligibility criteria, and for selected patients at low risk (IPSS score of INT-1) at diagnosis who have poor prognostic features not included in the IPSS (e.g. older age, refractory cytopenias) (Oliansky et al, 2009). The IPSS estimates survival from the time of diagnosis based on five risk factors : age > 65 years, hemoglobin < 100 g/l, leukocyte count > 25 x 109/l, circulating blasts ≥ 1%, and the presence of constitutional symptoms. Patients are then classified as low risk (score = 0), intermediate risk-1 (score = 1), intermediate risk-2 (score = 2), and high risk (score ≥ 2) (McLornan et al, 2012).
Cervantes et al (2009) studied 1054 patients at 7 centers who were diagnosed with primary MF. The purpose of this retrospective study was to develop a highly discriminative prognostic system. Variables selected for prognostic assessment were those previously shown to be of prognostic value in primary MF along with variables considered to be either clinically meaningful or potential confounders. Analysis using Cox proportional hazards modeling revealed identified age greater than 65 years, presence of constitutional symptoms, hemoglobin level less than 10 g/dL, leukocyte count greater than 25 x 109/L, and circulating blast cells 1% or greater as predictors of shortened survival. Overall median survival was 69 months (95% confidence interval: 61-71). Four risk groups with no overlap in their survival curves were identified, including 0 (low risk), 1 (intermediate risk-1), 2 (intermediate risk-2), or greater than or equal to 3 (high risk), with respective median survivals of 135, 95, 48, and 27 months (p < 0.001). Additionally, in 409 patients with assessable metaphases, cytogenetic abnormalities were associated with shorter survival, but their independent contribution to prognosis was restricted to patients in the intermediate-risk groups. JAK2V617F did not cluster with a specific risk group or affect survival.
A prospective multicenter trial was conducted in 103 patients with various forms of MF to determine the efficacy of a busulfan (10 mg/kg) fludarabine (180 based reduced-intensity conditioning regimen followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation from related (n = 33) or unrelated donors (n = 70). Cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality at 1 year was 16% and was significantly lower for patients with a completely matched donor. The estimated 5-year event-free survival was 51% and 68%, respectively (Kroger et al, 2009).
Tefferi et al (2011a) noted that "current drug therapy in primary MF is neither curative or essential for survival. Similarly, it is not clear if the application of allogeneic SCT, with its attendant risk of death or chronic morbidity from graft-versus-host disease, has had a favorable or unfavorable net effect. Therefore, one must first determine whether a particular patient needs any form of therapy at all and , if so, carefully select the treatment strategy with the best chance of inducing disease control without compromising life expectancy." Tefferi et al (2011b) reported that the presence of fibrosis, JAK2/MPL mutation or +9/13q- cytogenic abnormality is supportive but not essential for diagnosis, and that diagnosis is based on bone marrow morphology. The authors state that observation alone is adequate for asymptomatic low/intermediate-1 risk disease; allogeneic SCT or experimental drug therapy is reasonable for symptomatic intermediate-1 risk disease.
Alchalby et al (2012) evaluated 150 homogeneously treated MF patients who underwent reduced-intensity allogeneic SCT and developed a risk score for overall survival. The authors' prognostic scoring system compared to the Lille scoring system and correlated significantly with overall survival but discriminated poorly between the intermediate and high-risk groups. The authors concluded that a simple model which includes age, JAK2 V617F-status, and constitutional symptoms can clearly separate distinct risk groups. The authors further noted that such a model can be used in addition to the Lille model to predict overall survival after reduced-intensity allogeneic SCT.
Scott et al (2012) conducted a study to evaluate a Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) risk categorization. They evaluated the DIPSS in 170 MF patients aged 12 to 78 years who received SCT from related (n = 86) or unrelated (n = 84) donors. The investigators determined that 21 patients had low-risk disease, 48 had intermediate-1, 50 had intermediate-2, and 51 had high-risk disease. Additionally, they reported five-year incidence of relapse, relapse-free survival, overall survival, and nonrelapse mortality for all patients were 10%, 57%, 57%, and 34%, respectively. They concluded that SCT was curative for a large proportion of patients with MF, and post-SCT success was dependent on pre-SCT DIPSS classification.
In a recent review of allogeneic stem cell transplantation for MF, McLornan et al (2012) concluded that transplant-eligible MF patients with intermediate-2 and high-risk disease should be considered for SCT. Additionally, patients with transfusion dependency or an unfavorable karyotype should also be considered for SCT. The authors suggested a myeloablative conditioned approach in those greater than 45 years of age, and acknowledged that some patients between 45 and 50 years of age with low HCT-CI scores may well also be suitable for a myeloablative conditioned SCT. They further suggested that a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen be considered for those over the age of 45 years and that patients older than 65 years should not be definitively excluded from potential SCT on age criteria alone, but rather that "a frank discussion with the patient regarding the association of older age and, in general, an adverse post-SCT outcome should occur in addition to a detailed risk assessment".
An UpToDate review on "Prognosis and treatment of primary myelofibrosis" (Tefferi, 2013) provides the following recommendations:
In an update on the diagnosis, risk-stratification, and management of primary myelofibrosis (PMF), Tefferi et al (2014a) stated that PMF is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by stem cell-derived clonal myeloproliferation, abnormal cytokine expression, bone marrow fibrosis, anemia, splenomegaly, extra-medullary hematopoiesis (EMH), constitutional symptoms, cachexia, leukemic progression, and shortened survival. Diagnosis is based on bone marrow morphology. The presence of JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutation is supportive but not essential for diagnosis; approximately 90 % of patients carry 1 of these mutations and 10 % are "triple-negative". None of these mutations is specific to PMF and is also seen in essential thrombocythemia (ET). Pre-fibrotic PMF mimics ET in its presentation and the distinction, enabled by careful bone marrow morphological examination, is prognostically relevant. Differential diagnosis also includes chronic myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, and acute myeloid leukemia. The Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System-plus (DIPSS-plus) uses 8 predictors of inferior survival: age greater than 65 years, hemoglobin less than 10 g/dL, leukocytes greater than 25 × 10(9) /L, circulating blasts greater than or equal to 1 %, constitutional symptoms, red cell transfusion dependency, platelet count less than 100 × 10(9) /L, and unfavorable karyotype (i.e., complex karyotype or sole or 2 abnormalities that include +8, -7/7q-, i(17q), inv(3), -5/5q-, 12p-, or 11q23 rearrangement). The presence of 0, 1, "2 or 3", and greater than or equal to 4 adverse factors defines low, intermediate-1, intermediate-2, and high-risk disease with median survivals of approximately 15.4, 6.5, 2.9, and 1.3 years, respectively. High risk disease is also defined by CALR(-) /ASXL1(+) mutational status. Observation alone is adequate for asymptomatic low/intermediate-1 risk disease, especially with CALR(+) /ASXL1(-) mutational status. Stem cell transplant is considered for DIPSS-plus high-risk disease or any risk disease with CALR(-) /ASXL1(+) mutational status. Investigational drug therapy is reasonable for symptomatic intermediate-1 or intermediate-2 risk disease. Splenectomy is considered for drug-refractory splenomegaly. Involved field radiotherapy is most useful for post-splenectomy hepatomegaly, non-hepatosplenic EMH, PMF-associated pulmonary hypertension, and extremity bone pain.
About 5–18% of patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) who undergo allogeneic myeloablative transplantation will relapse after three years (Tanvetyanon and Stiff, 2004). Relapse carries a high mortality: half of the patients will die within a year. Increased age, impaired performance status, and reduced organ reserve often hamper further attempt at myeloablative chemotherapy.
Klyuchnikov, et al. (2012) reported the results of a second HSCT as salvage therapy in myelofibrosis patients who have relapsed or experienced graft rejection. Thirty myelofibrosis patients (21 males, nine females) with relapse (n = 27) or graft-rejection (n = 3) after dose-reduced allografting underwent a salvage strategy including donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) and/or second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Twenty-six patients received a median number of three (range, 1-5) DLIs in a dose-escalated mode starting with a median dose of 1·2 × 10(6) (range, 0·003-8 × 10(6) ) up to median dose of 40 × 10(6) T-cells/kg (range, 10-130 × 10(6) ). 10/26 patients (39%) achieved complete response (CR) to DLIs. Acute (grade II-IV) and chronic graft-versus-host (GvHD) disease occurred in 12% and 36% cases. Thirteen non-responders to DLI and four patients who did not receive DLI due to graft-rejection or acute transformation of the blast phase underwent a second allogeneic HSCT from alternative (n = 15) or the same (n = 2) donor. One patient (6%) experienced primary graft-failure and died. Acute (II-IV) and chronic GvHD were observed in 47% and 46% of patients. Overall responses after second HSCT were seen in 12/15 patients (80%: CR: n = 9, partial response: n = 3). The 1-year cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality for recipients of a second allograft was 6%, and the cumulative incidence of relapse was 24%. After a median follow-up of 27 months, the 2-year overall survival and progression-free survival for all 30 patients was 70% and 67%, respectively. The investigators concluded that their two-step strategy, including DLI and second HSCT for non-responding or ineligible patients, is an effective and well-tolerated salvage approach for patients relapsing after reduced-intensity allograft after myelofibrosis.

PowerPoint has a variety of built-in diagram templates, such as organizational charts, flowcharts, and even Venn diagrams. They should be used whenever possible, rather than text, to help the audience understand the process or relationship. Watch how we can clean up a few of the slides in our presentation to connect better with our audience. Slide #12 shows our Improved Fulfillment Process. It's a wordy slide, which can benefit from a significant reduction in text.
Let's ask the speaker to say these words and reduce the actual text that appears on screen. Now I'll take it even further by converting this text into a great process diagram. With the Text Box selected I'll go to the Home tab and in the Paragraph group pull down Convert to SmartArt. As I hover over the choices, I can see how my SmartArt will appear. Certainly some are better than others, and the one I'd like to use for this example is this one called the Continuous Block Process.
Note that after converting this to a SmartArt diagram, I have the SmartArt tools tabs on the top and a new window on the side that contains the original bulleted list. I can modify the text here or directly in the SmartArt diagram. As you can see, our text is preserved, but looks significantly better as a diagram. Let's change the color just a bit and add a little bit of dimension to it. From the SmartArt tools Design tab, I'll pull-down Change Colors.
Note again that all of the colors you see here match the colors from our Color palette. I can also pull-down the SmartArt Styles Gallery, and try something that has a little bit more dimension. Remember that as I hover over each option, it shows me a live preview and I can just pick the one that I want. As another example, Human Resources wants to explain the New Hierarchy shown in slide #8. The information in this giant textbox will be much more meaningful as an org chart style diagram. I'm going to go ahead and get rid of it.
I triple-click and hit Delete and we'll click on the SmartArt tool to place a diagram here instead. To create an org chart, we'll go to the Hierarchy group, and then we'll select a graphic that matches our style. We'll choose the simple organization chart and press OK. This time, because we didn't start with any initial text in our bulleted list, we have to do the typing ourself. Recall that we can do the typing either here or here. If by chance you don't see this window, it's because it's been closed. And remember that all you have to do to bring it back is click on from the SmartArt tools Design tab, Text Pane.
Let's do some quick typing to populate our org chart. You can use a combination of Tab and Shift+Tab to Promote or Demote boxes from the hierarchy. You can also use the Promote, Demote, Move Up, and Move Down commands found in the ribbon. Let's make some quick adjustments and make this chart right. Remember, to delete a shape, all you have to do is select it, or put your cursor there and hit Delete. We want to show that sales and marketing is now underneath the VP of Marketing. I'll place my cursor here, press Enter and Tab.
Likewise with Customer Service, I want to show that it now includes Fulfillment, Shipping, and Manufacturing. Again, we do this by pressing Enter and Tab to go down a line and then indent. Once we've designed our new SmartArt diagram, I can modify the layout of the entire object by clicking first on the highest level and then pulling down the Layout menu.
I can also click on individual objects and move them around if I desire. To make this look a little nicer, let's drag Customer Service to the right. We'll pull-down the Layout menu and choose Standard. Let me just move Customer Service a little bit further to the left and adjust the VP of Marketing. With a smaller font everything should look a little bit nicer. I'll select the entire object by clicking on the boundary, and then dropping down the font with this icon found in the Home tab.
Resizing it here in the corner, and then I'll center it by clicking Arrange>Align>Align Center. Finally, like we did earlier, we'll go back to the SmartArt tools Design tab, and change the colors and add a little bit of dimension. Remember that if any individual elements need modification, you can generate click and make that change yourself. For example, I'd like customer service to appear on two lines.
I'll place my cursor here and press Enter. Like a chart, make sure your diagrams are high contrast and easy-to-read on screen. More complicated charts can be created in Visio, but if you're conveying something that complicated, you should probably generalize it on the screen and provide a handout for those who want the details. Our slides are already looking better, but we don't have to stop here. Chapter 4 continues with customizing our layouts, fine-tuning nearly every aspect of the presentation, and adding animation and music.

The meat does tend to come out a bit drier, since some juices are lost while baking. Still, these baked cheeseburgers are delicious, and they are requested often by my family. Leftovers are wonderful the next day for breakfast or lunch – briefly warmed in the microwave, or even cold. Click for the recipe

Commanders: Benghazi rescue hampered by info lack
WASHINGTON -- Two of the four U.S. deaths in Benghazi might have been averted, military leaders say, if commanders had known more about the intensity of gunfire directed at the CIA facility where Americans had taken refuge and had pressed to get help there faster.
Senior military leaders have told Congress in closed-door testimony that after the first attack on the main U.S. diplomatic compound on Sept. 11, 2012, they thought the fighting had subsided and the Americans who had fled to the CIA base about a mile away were safe. In fact, they were facing intermittent small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades.
Hours later, an 11-minute mortar and rocket-propelled grenade attack slammed into the CIA annex, killing two security contractors.-- Associated Press
