The Woman Who Made Thanksgiving Happen
Year after year, Americans gather around the table on the fourth Thursday of November to celebrate Thanksgiving. Many recognize its origins as connected to the 1621 Pilgrim feast and thanksgiving prompted by a good harvest, but few know the woman responsible for making the celebration official. Sarah Josepha Hale, author and poet, fought to institutionalize Thanksgiving. Through her efforts, it was declared a national holiday by President Abraham Lincoln.
This Thanksgiving is 152 years since the proclamation by President Lincoln, making it a national holiday. MyHeritage decided to locate the descendants of Sarah Hale and to look deeper into the legacy passed down through the generations of her family.
Sarah Josepha Buell was born October 24, 1788 in Newport, New Hampshire. She married lawyer David Hale in 1813, and the couple had five children. A writer and influential editor, she wrote letters to politicians for 27 years advocating for Thanksgiving to become an official holiday. Until then, Thanksgiving was celebrated mainly in New England, and on different dates in each state.
Hale wrote letters to five different US presidents: Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln. Although her initial letters failed to yield results, her letter to Lincoln convinced him to support 1863 legislation to establish the national holiday of Thanksgiving.

Presidents' Weekend: George and Abe slept here!
Historic houses in many states bear signs reading "George Washington slept here," or "Abraham Lincoln slept here."
There weren't many hotel or motel chains in those days, so famous people - indeed, all travellers - slept in taverns, inns, private homes or camped out under the stars.
Perhaps that's why Presidents' Weekend is known as the best time for sales of mattresses and bedding, as every US department and bedding store advertises great prices!
Seriously though, Presidents' Weekend is relatively new. When I was in elementary school in New York, we celebrated Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays on two weekends in February, each with a Monday or Friday off.
Since they were both legal holidays - with banks, businesses, government offices and schools closed – someone suggested that perhaps the two holidays could be combined with only one day off instead of two. While schoolchildren mourned the loss of an anticipated holiday, the business community welcomed it.
Each state sets its observance of the holiday, and not all US states observe Presidents' Weekend. Read the history here.

Thanksgiving , a Timeless Treat
East Coast Turkey
Thanksgiving is a day thick with plenty. The penultimate November Thursday marries history, tradition, and myth in commemorative indulgence. Its goals are less commercial and Puritan-stiff than many a holiday, and it thumps with seasonal and human spirit.
The history of the day of thanks trickles down from early American settlers. It was to be a day of rest from battle with Native Americans, and the gruesome winter, which took the lives of nearly half of the early pilgrims. The first account of Thanksgiving dates to 1623, chronicled in Eliot's New-England History, and tells of Governor Bradford who "sent out a company for game [turkey which was of plenty in the are]...and abundant materials for a feast...and they feasted Massasoit and ninety of his Indians, and they thanked God for the good and the good things in it. So they kept their first Thanksgiving."

Texas Is Getting Hotter Faster Than Almost Any State in the Country
Happy summer, y'all
Baby, it's really freaking hot outside. And it's only getting hotter, according to the National Climatic Data Center.
Texas has landed itself toward the top of another undesirable list, according to a recent federal climate data study by the Associated Press. The AP analyzed weather trends from the National Climatic Data Center, and found that Texas is one of the fastest warming states in the continental United States. The hottest months are currently sitting around 2.8 degrees hotter last year than they were in 1984.
So it's little surprise to know that we Texans can expect, by the year 2100, around 150 days per year of 90-plus degrees weather. Researchers say that's likely due to increased drought conditions in the southwest United States, which exacerbate and raise already high summer temperatures.
In 2011, the United States was responsible for 5.5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, up from 5.1 billion tons in 1992. We are a leading contributor to carbon emissions, second only to China.

The Obama administration, as part of a sweeping move to reduce climate change, released a plan on Monday to reduce national carbon emission levels by 30 percent by 2030. As part of that initiative, Texas was informed it must reduce carbon emissions by 39 percent.
Predictably, this sent Governor Rick Perry into a fact-light fit about Texas' allegedly improving environment. From his air-conditioned Austin office, Perry released a statement in response to Obama's initiative, calling it "the most direct assault yet on the energy providers that employ thousands of Americans," and defending the state's environmental record:
The air Texans breathe today is cleaner than it was in 2000, even as our population has grown by nearly 5.2 million people. Furthermore:
- Over the last 10 years, Texas has added more than twice the jobs of any other state; statewide, from 2000-2012, nitrogen oxide levels from industrial sources were reduced by 62.5 percent; and from 2000-2012 ozone levels were reduced by 23 percent, a 12 percent greater reduction than the national average.
Environmentalists (and our own Patrick Williams) countered with facts, pointing out that it's likely those regulations Perry so loathes that are helping improve Texas' miserable environmental record.

Ranma 1/2 (1994)
EDITOR'S OPINIONAh yes and as for this Ranma 1/2 VC you all shall the majestic glory that is none other than THE BLUE THUNDER OF FURINKAN HIGH SCHOOL whom is none other than TATEWAKI KUNO! *ahem* Theatrics aside in the North American released dub of the series done by Viz in the 90's he was voiced by Ted Cole ever since the early 90's. And alike a good portion of his fellow cast mates Tatewaki Kuno is Ted Cole's first role in anime and he leaves a fine first impression. Ted's voice & performance for this role definitely suited the role well as it fits Kuno's "Arrogant Smooth Rich Prettyboy" persona and is also suitably hammy enough when Kuno deems himself to be "such a man amongst men". Overall its one of Ted Cole's best performances and is a fine example of the voice work in Viz's Ranma 1/2 dub.
There is an alternative English dub made in Hong Kong for Animax's stations in the SE Asia market, American Hong Kong actor Russell Wait voices Kuno in which this is a pleasant surprise. For Russell also delivers a youthful hamfisted energetic performance as Tatewaki Kuno as well in which that is also pretty fitting for the role. So I must say this is probably one of Russell's best performances so far and is one of the better performances in the Animax dub. Overall I suppose I am still going with Ted Cole a bit more as Kuno but I have got to hand it to Russell Wait on how he was surprisingly a very close second in this regard.

WASHINGTON - Building on its stereotype of African-Americans from 30 years ago, the Republican Party has made "cops, firefighters, nurses and teachers into its new 'welfare queens,'" an author of a new book about the alienation of the white working class says.
The catch, adds Joan Walsh, author of What's The Matter With White People?" is that the workers and families being demonized, alienated from their ancestral roots in the Democratic Party by the tumult of the late 1960s and early 1970s, don't realize that's the Republican attitude - and keep voting against their own economic interests.
Walsh, a self-described "white working class Irish kid from Long Island" offered that analysis at a recent book talk at the AFL-CIO. But she said not all the blame should be laid at the feet of the GOP. The Democrats themselves moved away from white workers, including those whom organized labor represents.
"It's an incredibly divisive notion to have 'people-of-color coalitions," excluding whites, she said. "White liberals and progressives are the worst on this. They're looking down on the white working class."
The reaction and the key turning point there, she added, was the 1970 confrontation in New York between construction workers and anti-war protesters, which Richard Nixon and a succession of Republican politicians have exploited.
That exploitation has reached all the way to the 2012 vote. Opinion polls show that Democratic President Barack Obama's weakest group is white working-class men, again, although there is a regional division to that weakness, Walsh adds.
"In the South, he's trailing by about 40 percentage points," she notes. "But he's ahead in the Midwest and tied in the West and Northeast," Walsh says. Obama is also running ahead of his 2008 figures among white working class women and Catholics.
Nevertheless, Republicans - she cited former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who finished second to Mitt Romney in the GOP race, plus Romney himself - keep exploiting the Democratic divide, while hiding their own strategy.
"It gives them the chance to break through where they couldn't do so before" 1970, Walsh explained.
"Mitt wants to write off 47% of the country?" she asked, referring to Romney's infamous remarks at a Florida fundraiser about people who are "victims" and who expect government support. "Well, most of them are white and a quarter of them are seniors." By bringing those voters back, "We have the opportunity to make the country more stable,"
Audience members described similar attitudes among white working-class voters they interviewed. One Fire Fighter recalled his recent canvassing in Danville, Va., in the southwestern area of the state - an area hard hit by past factory closures.
The biggest source of jobs there now is government, but GOP budget cutting slashed those jobs, too. "It's been positive but scary. I told them there are a lot of Fire Fighters and police officers who don't have a job," he said. "The room was dead silent."
For the Republicans, her own Long Island relatives and those white working-class people, "the face of welfare is black," contrary to actual statistics, Walsh replied. "But white poverty and unemployment has doubled, and we have to validate that" to bring those voters back. "It'll be a tough slog," she admitted.
The mass media doesn't help, Walsh noted. Many of the hardest-hit white working class voters "get their facts from Fox," known for its aggressive Right Wing bias. Fox network chief "Roger Ailes told me they have a target audience: 'Age 55 to dead,' and they're whipping them up into a frenzy."
But the Occupy movement may help start returning those voters to pocketbook voting, Walsh adds, by putting the issue of rising income inequality and the decline of the middle class squarely at the forefront of the national discussion.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who hosted the discussion, said the labor movement is trying to do its part, through creation and campaigning by Working America, its affiliate for workers who could be sympathetic to the movement's goals, but who can't or won't, join unions. Working America now has more than 3 million members, with tens of thousands of them in battleground states, such as Ohio.
Their efforts are effective, because Working America volunteers are listening to and having discussions with voters, one by one, and adjusting accordingly, he stated. In the 2008, he claimed, voters contacted by Working America - a group prior surveys show is whiter, more working-class and more conservative than the union movement - voted for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama by a 3-to-1 ratio. That was higher than Obama's ratio among unionists, Trumka said.
"When they get information one-on-one, it moves them dramatically," Trumka concluded of the white working class.

So, here's what I got to know about Tam Brahms from Gori Tere Pyaar Mein:
■ We speak Hindi when we grow up in Bangalore
■ We have hairy chests
■ We realise when we are about to marry a good girl who sings Carnatic that we should be chasing our ex
■ We realise true happiness lies with a woman who cares more about a bridge than us
■ Punjabi boys who dated our fiancees cater at our weddings
■ A Tam Brahm girl who is a singer sucks at planning an elopement
And here is what I got to know about environmentalists:
■ It's important to build bridges with your own hands
■ It is the duty of an environmentalist to protest against corruption
■ There is no difference between a gynaecologist, a veterinarian and an environmentalist
■ If you are an environmentalist, your hair and face will always be perfect, irrespective of how much you dance at weddings and which corner of the country you work in
If you still want to know why you should give the love story of Dia (Kareena Kapoor) and Sriram (Imran Khan) a miss, read on.
So, Sriram is a good boy whose un-Tamil looks are explained by a joke about how he may have been swapped at birth. He's the kind of guy who will tell his life story to a girl he is about to marry, and never open up to the girl he wants to marry. Yet, the fact that he opens up to the former makes him realise he should run after the latter.
And he runs. And runs. To some remote village where Dia's lectures and manual labour and AIDS activism makes him realise he has wasted his life. No, not wasted his life in chasing her, which at least you can empathise with, but by wasted it by doing all the fun things he has ever done.
Because this is a Bollywood film, everyone must dance, even when they are surrounded by dying people, disease, lack of infrastructure and the least dangerous corrupt politician who ever walked the earth (Anupam Kher).
And because it is Kareena Kapoor, she must act like a fox terrier that has overdosed on Red Bull, even when she is saving the country. And because it is a romantic comedy, it has to end happily. It ends happily, for everyone except the audience. But, on the upside, I discovered things about Tam Brahms in Bangalore that growing up as one and living in Bangalore has not taught me.
The Verdict: If you are an environmental activist who is afraid of growing old in the company of cats, go ahead and watch. It will make you feel better, maybe.

CANTON, Miss. - Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker says his office is investigating numerous leads in the search for a 2-year-old girl missing for more than a week.
Tucker told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Sunday afternoon that there is no sign of Myra Lewis yet but his staff, working with the FBI and other agencies, is following leads as they develop.
The search for Myra began on Saturday afternoon, March 1, after she went missing from her home in rural Camden, Miss.
Tucker said he encourages anyone with any information about Myra Lewis to contact authorities.
Tucker also said the arrest of the girl's mother, Ericka Lewis, on Friday on a probation violation was not connected to the disappearance.

Police said all three victims were taken to UPMC Hamot, and the injuries were not life-threatening. Detectives were interviewing witnesses Saturday.

Schools were closed, roadways are being cleared, and mass transit was struggling to return to normality.
At least two deaths were attributed to the weather. In Ridley Township, Delaware County, an 89-year-old man in the Folsom section and an 93-year-old woman in the Secane section of the township were both found outside Wednesday morning, police said. Although details weren't available, police said the deaths were related to the frigid temperatures.

I would like to state my support of waiters in restaurants. If you can afford to go out to eat, you can afford to tip. Waiters only make $2.13 an hour and they depend on tips to survive.
Our economy is not the best right now, but when I am out and about it looks like the restaurants are doing well; not true for a lot of the waiters.
Rarely have I gotten bad service, and even then I will leave a good tip because I try to put myself in their place. We don't know what is going on behind the scenes; they may be under a lot of pressure, they could be new, we just don't know. What really bothers me the most I think is Sundays, when all the people from church are eating out.
Remember, you have just come from hearing the word of God, non-Christians are observing you, and so many times many "Christians" don't tip, they complain and many end up getting their meal comped; this hurts the server, and God is watching. Many people with degrees are servers in restaurants due to there being no jobs out there. Please think about this when you go out to eat.
I am a Christian and I try to do what is right. God blesses a cheerful giver.

Snatch is a 2000 film by British writer-director Guy Ritchie. It features an ensemble cast. Set in the London criminal underworld, the movie contains two intertwined plots — one dealing with the search for a stolen diamond, the other with a small-time boxing promoter named Turkish (Jason Statham) who finds himself under the thumb of a psychotic gangster named Brick Top (Alan Ford). The film is characterised by an assortment of colourful characters, including the "pikey" Irish Traveller Mickey O'Neil (Pitt), Russian-Uzbek ex-KGB agent and arms-dealer Boris 'the Blade' Yurinov (or Boris the Bullet-Dodger) (Rade Šerbedžija), professional thief-gambling addict Frankie "Four-Fingers" (Benicio del Toro) and bounty hunter Bullet-Tooth Tony (Vinnie Jones). It is also distinguished by a kinetic direction and editing style, a circular plot featuring numerous ironic twists of chance and causality, and a fast pace. The movie shares similar themes, ideas and motifs as Ritchie's first film, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It is also filmed in the same visual style and features many of the same actors, including Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham and Jason Flemyng, who appears in a minor role as one of the 'pikeys'. It has been noted by some critics that Snatch bears a resemblance to the 1994 film Pulp Fiction; both deal with underworld criminals, very valuable items (the glowing case in Pulp Fiction and the diamond in Snatch), and boxers (Butch, Bruce Willis, in Pulp Fiction; and Mickey, Brad Pitt). -------------------------------------- The Herbaliser is a Jazz / hip-hop band formed by Ollie Teeba and Jake Wherry in England during the early '90s. Currently one of the most famous artists from the Ninja Tune independent record label, they have released 8 LPs, including two DJ mixes: one for Ninja Tune's Solid Steel series and the other - released in february 2006 - for Fabric's Live Mix series. Tracks by The Herbaliser have featured a variety of guest vocalists including Jean Grae, Roots Manuva, MF Doom, Seaming To, Rakaa-Iriscience, Blade, Phi Life Cypher, Bahamadia and Dream Warriors.

Last week, AMD talked about its desktop plans for the
upcoming year in Sunnyvale, California. Although AMD showed its upcoming
desktop processor running in single and dual-socket
configurations, the company chose not to announce an official launch date
for its next-generation desktop processors. According to Robert Rivet, AMD
executive vice president and CFO, however, AMD's next-generation
processors will be
ready by Christmas.
Despite how distant the possible December launch date of AMD's native quad-core
desktop processors may seem, Intel is already stepping up the competition and
will be instituting a series of aggressive price cuts in July. We originally
reported these major price cuts, which will be targeting Intel's quad-core desktop
and server
processors, in March. At the time, we didn't know the official date of when
the price cuts would take place. We can confirm today that the price cuts will
take place on July 22.

A Hollywood Hack Holiday: Ending Torture One Dick At a Time

Revealed: How Big Oil Got Expedited Permitting for Fracking on Public Lands Into the Defense Bill
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
The U.S. Senate has voted 89-11 to approve the Defense Authorization Act of 2015, following the December 4 U.S. House of Representatives' 300-119 up-vote and now awaits President Barack Obama's signature.
Photo Credit: C-SPAN Screenshot
The 1,648-page piece of pork barrel legislation contains a provision — among other controversial measures — to streamline permitting for hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") on U.S. public lands overseen by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a unit of the U.S. Department of Interior.
Buried on page 2,179 of the bill as Section 3021 and subtitled "Bureau of Land Management Permit Processing," the bill's passage has won praise from both the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) and comes on the heels of countries from around the world coming to a preliminary deal at the United Nations climate summit in Lima, Peru, to cap greenhouse gas emissions.
"We applaud the Senate...and are hopeful the president signs this measure in a timely fashion," said Dan Naatz, IPAA lobbyist and former congressional staffer, in a press release.
Alluding to the bottoming out of the global price of oil, Naatz further stated, "In these uncertain times of price volatility, it's encouraging for America's job creators to have regulatory certainty through a streamlined permitting process."
Streamlined permitting means faster turn-around times for the industry's application process to drill on public lands, bringing with it all of the air, groundwater and climate change issues that encompass the shale production process.
At the bottom of the same press release, IPAA boasted of its ability to get the legislative proposal introduced initially by U.S. Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) as the BLM Permit Processing Improvement Act of 2014 after holding an "educational meeting" with Udall's staffers. Endorsed by some major U.S. environmental groups, Udall took more than $191,000 from the oil and gas industry during his successful 2014 re-election campaign.
IPAA's publicly admitted influence-peddling efforts are but the tip of the iceberg for how Big Oil managed to stuff expedited permitting for fracking on U.S. public lands into the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015.
The $7 Million University President
In a recent article about Shirley Jackson, the president since 1999 of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)―a private university located in Troy, New York―the Chronicle of Higher Education revealed that, in 2012 (the latest year for which statistics are available), she received over $7 million from that institution. Like many modern campus administrators, President Jackson was also given a large mansion, first class air travel, and a chauffeured luxury car to transport her around the campus.
Thanks to the fact that Jackson also serves on at least five corporate boards, including those of IBM and Marathon Oil, she supplements this income with more than a million dollars a year from these sources.
Making a joke of the Supreme Court: Justice Antonin Scalia is a Publicity-Seeking Intellectual Midget

Obama Signals Keystone XL "No" on Colbert Report As Enbridge "KXL Clone" He Permitted Opens
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
In his December 8 "Colbert Report" appearance, President Barack Obama gave his strongest signal yet that he may reject a presidential permit authorizing the Alberta to Cushing, Oklahoma northern leg of TransCanada's Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Photo Credit: Comedy Central Screenshot
Yet just a week earlier, and little noticed by comparison, the pipeline giant Enbridge made an announcement that could take the sails out of some of the excitement displayed by Obama's "Colbert Report" remarks on Keystone XL North. That is, Enbridge's "Keystone XL Clone" is now officially open for business.
"Keystone XL Clone," as first coined here on DeSmogBlog, consists of three parts: the U.S.-Canada border-crossing Alberta Clipper pipeline; the Flanagan, Illinois to Cushing Flanagan South pipeline; and the Cushing to Freeport, Texas Seaway Twin pipeline.
Enbridge announced that Flanagan South and its Seaway Twin connection are now pumping tar sands crude through to the Gulf of Mexico, meaning game on for tar sands to flow from Alberta to the Gulf through Enbridge's pipeline system.
Alberta Clipper, now rebranded Line 67, was authorized by Hillary Clinton on behalf of the Obama State Department in August 2009 and got a quasi-official permit to expand its capacity by the State Department over the summer. That permit is now being contested in federal court by environmental groups.
Flanagan South, meanwhile, exists due to a legally contentious array of close to 2,000 Nationwide Permit 12 permits handed out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which — as with Alberta Clipper expansion — has helped Enbridge usurp the more democratic and transparent National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process.
The US Must Prosecute Torturers and their Enablers, or Forever Be a Labeled a Rogue Nation
By Dave Lindorff
In all the media debate about the Senate Intelligence Committee's release, finally, of a heavily redacted report on officially sanctioned torture by the CIA and the US military during the Bush/Cheney administration and the so-called War on Terror, there has been little said about the reality that torture, as clearly defined in the Geneva Convention against Torture which went into effect in 1987, is flat-out illegal in the US as a signatory of that Convention.
Like Canada's Harper Government, Obama Administration Muzzling Its Scientists
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
In recent years, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has come under fire for disallowing scientists working for the Canadian government to speak directly to the press.
Photo Credit: U.S. Department of State
An article published in August by The New Republic said "Harper's antagonism toward climate-change experts in his government may sound familiar to Americans," pointing to similar deeds done by the George W. Bush Administration. That article also said that "Bush's replacement," President Barack Obama, "has reversed course" in this area.
Society for Professional Journalists, the largest trade association for professional journalists in the U.S., disagrees with this conclusion.
In a December 1 letter written to Gina McCarthy, administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the society chided the Obama administration for its methods of responding to journalists' queries to speak to EPA-associated scientists.
"We write to urge you again to clarify that members of the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) and the twenty other EPA science advisory committees have the right and are encouraged to speak to the public and the press about any scientific issues, including those before these committees, in a personal capacity without prior authorization from the agency," said the letter.
"We urge you...to ensure that EPA advisory committee members are encouraged share their expertise and opinions with those who would benefit from it."
I've had it!: Eleven Reasons I'm Ashamed to be an American Citizen
By Dave Lindorff
I'm going to say it: I am ashamed to be a US citizen. This doesn't come easily, because having lived abroad and seen some pretty nasty places in my time, I know there are a lot of great things about this country, and a lot of great people who live here, but lately, I've reached the conclusion that the US is a sick and twisted country, in which the bad far outweighs the good.

I'm going to say it: I am ashamed to be a US citizen. This doesn't come easily, because having lived abroad and seen some pretty nasty places in my time, I know there are a lot of great things about this country, and a lot of great people who live here, but lately, I've reached the conclusion that the US is a sick and twisted country, in which the bad far outweighs the good.

Environmental Groups File Motion to Intervene in Defense of Denton Fracking Ban
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
Just days after attorneys representing Denton, Texas submitted their initial responses to two legal complaints filed against Denton — the first Texas city ever to ban hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") — environmental groups have filed an intervention petition. That is, a formal request to enter the two lawsuits filed against the city after its citizens voted to ban fracking on election day.
Denton Drilling Awareness Group and Earthworks are leading the intervention charge, represented by attorneys from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Earthjustice. The drilling awareness group runs the Frack Free Denton campaign.
Those groups have joined up with attorneys representing Denton to fight lawsuits filed against the city by both the Texas Oil and Gas Association and the Texas General Land Commission.
First Texas City to Ban Fracking Cites "Public Nuisance" in Lawsuit Response
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
Attorneys representing Denton, Texas, the first city to ban hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") in state history, have issued rebuttals to the two lawsuits filed against Denton the day after the fracking ban was endorsed by voters on election day.
Responding to lawsuits brought by attorneys with intimate Bush family connections — with complaints coming from both the Texas General Land Office and the Texas Oil and Gas Association — the Denton attorneys have signaled the battle has only just begun in the city situated in the heart and soul of the Barnett Shale, the birthplace of fracking.
In its response to the Texas Oil and Gas Association, Denton's attorneys argued the Association did not provide sufficient legal evidence that the Texas constitution demarcates the Texas Railroad Commission or the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as the only governmental bodies that can regulate or permit fracking.
"Nowhere in...the Petition as a whole, does Plaintiff identify what regulations have been passed by the Texas Railroad Commission or the Texas Commission or Environmental Quality that allegedly occupy the 'entire field' rendering the [ban] preempted and unconstitutional," wrote the attorneys. "City requests the Court to order Plaintiff to replead that claim with greater specificity to meet those fair notice requirements."
Industry-friendly Railroad Commission (RRC) chairman Christi Craddick is on the record stating that the RRC will continue to issue permits despite the fact Denton citizens voted for a ban.
The Denton attorneys also argued that fracking is a "public nuisance" and "subversive of public order" in defense of the fracking ban.
No more grand juries: Coercive 13th Century Relics, They Serve the Political Interests of DAs, not Justice
By Dave Lindorff
In case people didn't get it earlier, it's time to recognize that the ancient institution of the grand jury has outlived its usefulness, and should be eliminated, as its only real purpose today is to give prosecutors political cover and an added cudgel with which to intimidate witnesses.

By Jess Guh
Yesterday marked the third annual Black Friday protests and strikes at Walmart, the largest private employer in this country. The Walton family, controlling owners of the company, is America's richest family, with holdings valued at almost $150 billion dollars. For decades, Walmart has remained an employer powerhouse based upon a business model of low wages, poor benefits and union busting.
Lawless Law Enforcer: Robert P. McColloch Personifies Misconduct by Prosecutors
By Linn Washington Jr.
When discredited Missouri prosecutor Robert P. McColloch recently defended his calculated manipulation of a grand jury which led jurors to free the policeman who fatally shot Michael Brown last summer, McColloch declared piously that eyewitness accounts must "always match physical evidence."
McColloch, however, did not apply that 'always match' standard in the case of Antonio Beaver, a St. Louis man wrongfully convicted by in 1997 of a violent carjacking case tried by McColloch.
In combat, the killing of Michael Brown by Officer Wilson would have been called a war crime
By Dave Lindorff
What's wrong Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson's killing of the unarmed 18-year-old black teenager, Michael Brown, and with a Grand Jury decision not to indict him for that outrageous slaying, is what is wrong with American law enforcement and American "justice" in general.
Both actions were permeated not only with racism, which clearly played a huge rule in both the verdict rendered by a Grand Jury composed of nine whites and only three blacks, and in this tragic police killing by a white cop of a black child, but also by a mentality on the part of police -- and apparently by at least a majority of the citizen jurors on a panel evaluating Wilson's actions -- that cops are authorities who must be obeyed without question, on pain of death.
"I Hate That Oil's Dropping": Why Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant Wants High Oil Prices for Fracking
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
Outgoing Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) chairman Phil Bryant — Mississippi's Republican Governor — started his farewell address with a college football joke at IOGCC's recent annual conference in Columbus, Ohio.

"As you know, I love SEC football. Number one in the nation Mississippi State, number three in the nation Ole Miss, got a lot of energy behind those two teams," Bryant said in opening his October 21 speech. "I try to go to a lot of ball games. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it and somebody's gotta be there."
Seconds later, things got more serious, as Bryant spoke to an audience of oil and gas industry executives and lobbyists, as well as state-level regulators.
At the industry-sponsored convening, which I attended on behalf of DeSmogBlog, it was hard to tell the difference between industry lobbyists and regulators. The more money pledged by corporations, the more lobbyists invited into IOGCC's meeting.
Perhaps this is why Bryant framed his presentation around "where we are headed as an industry," even though officially a statesman and not an industrialist, before turning to his more stern remarks.
"I know it's a mixed blessing, but if you look at some of the pumps in Mississippi, gasoline is about $2.68 and people are amazed that it's below $3 per gallon," he said.
"And it's a good thing for industry, it's a good thing for truckers, it's a good thing for those who move goods and services and products across the waters and across the lands and we're excited about where that's headed."
Bryant then discussed the flip side of the "mixed blessing" coin.
"Of course the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale has a little problem with that, so as with most things in life, it's a give and take," Bryant stated. "It's very good at one point and it's helping a lot of people, but on the other side there's a part of me that goes, 'Darn! I hate that oil's dropping, I hate that it's going down.' I don't say that out-loud, but just to those in this room."
Tuscaloosa Marine Shale's "little problem" reflects a big problem the oil and gas industry faces — particularly smaller operators involved with hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") — going forward.
That is, fracking is expensive and relies on a high global price of oil. A plummeting price of oil could portend the plummeting of many smaller oil and gas companies, particularly those of the sort operating in the Tuscaloosa Marine.

Introducing "Natural Gas Exports: Washington's Revolving Door Fuels Climate Threat"
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
DeSmogBlog's Steve Horn and Republic Report's Lee Fang have co-written an in-depth report on the influence the government-industry revolving door has had on Big Oil's ability to obtain four liquefied natural gas (LNG) export permits since 2012 from the Obama Administration.
Photo Credit: DeSmogBlog
Titled "Natural Gas Exports: Washington's Revolving Door Fuels Climate Threat," the report published here on DeSmogBlog and on Republic Report serves as the launching pad of an ongoing investigation. It will act as the prelude of an extensive series of articles by both websites uncovering the LNG exports influence peddling machine.
The report not only exposes the lobbying apparatus that has successfully opened the door for LNG exports, but also the PR professionals paid to sell them to the U.S. public. It also exposes those who have gone through the "reverse revolving door," moving from industry back to government and sometimes back again.
It reveals that many former Obama Administration officials now work as lobbyists or PR professionals on behalf of the LNG exports industry, as do many former Bush Administration officials. So too do those with ties to potential 2016 Democratic Party presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.

State Dept. Keystone XL North Contractor ERM Approved Project Now Melting Glaciers
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons
A controversial government contractor once again finds itself in hot water, or in this case, melting glacier water.
TransCanada chose Environmental Resources Management Group (ERM) as one of its contractors to conduct the environmental impact statement for Keystone XL on behalf of the U.S. State Department. ERM Group also happens to have green-lighted a gold mining project in central Asia that is now melting glaciers.
ERM Group has a penchant for rubber-stamping projects that have had tragic environmental and public health legacies. For example, ERM formerly worked on behalf of the tobacco industry to pitch the safety of its deadly product.
A January 2014 study about Keystone XL's climate change impacts published in the journal Nature Climate Change paints a drastically different picture than ERM Group's Keystone XL tar sands study.
The Kumtor Gold Mine, owned by Centerra Gold/Cameco Corporation, was provided a stamp of approval from ERM Group in October 2012. Similar to the TransCanada arrangement with the State Department on Keystone XL, Centerra served as the funder of the report evaluating its own project.
"The mine sits at an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level, in the Tien Shan mountain range and among some of Kyrgyzstan's - and the region's - most important glaciers," explained an October 28 story published in Asia Times.
"Centerra Gold has consistently dismissed as untrue that operations at Kumtor have had negative implications for the glaciers, which are reportedly melting with observable speed due to years of dumping rock tailings onto the ice sheet. The Canadian company has backed its position with expert evaluations from consultancies such as Environmental Resources Management."

The first of a new series of papers dealing with "Evolution of Modern Medicine" will appear in the September issue of the Archives. The Editorial Board initiates this project with enthusiasm, which it believes will be shared by all readers of the Archives. If medical practitioners, teachers, and investigators are to keep the new developments in their art in proper perspective, they must have recourse to the steps by which modern concepts came into being. Only in this way can the wheat be separated from the chaff and order and perspective be maintained.

October is the worst month for car insurance claims as the clocks go back and winter draws closer.
10.4% of all car insurance claims occur in October as drivers cope with darker days when the clocks.
October 20th is the worst day for claims, according to Virgin Money Car Insurance.
The last three months of the year generally prove most challenging times for motorists. 30% of all claims are made during this time.
Grant Bather, spokesman at Virgin Money, echoes this point ""With the seasons changing, nights drawing in and driving conditions becoming hazardous, motorists should pay extra attention when driving and should make sure that they are equipped should they have an accident or breakdown."
Not only should drivers ensure that their car is fully prepared for winter, they should check that their car insurance provides the best cover, particularly when accidents more likely to happen.

With accessibility and portability being an important part of our daily work, securing confidential data and transfers has shifted form a "nice to have" to a "must have". Data stored on computers, on cloud storage or on USB devices can get into the wrong hands and therefore needs to be protected. An easy to use, cross-platform encryption solution is the best way to ensure confidential data will not fall into the wrong hands due to unauthorized access, lost or stolen devices.
In today's business environment the mobile workforce, BYOD and ever increasing number of data losses and data thefts, enforced encryption represents an essential line of defense. The right solution can be an effective tool regardless of company size or operating systems (Windows or Mac OS X) and can be easily implemented in any environment, from home offices and small organizations to multinational corporations. Ensure compliance with various rules and regulations.
EasyLock Enforced Encryption in correlation with Endpoint Protector allows IT Administrator to extend their Device Control policy and make sure all confidential data transferred to USB storage devices is automatically encrypted. As a cross-platform solution, EasyLock can be used on both Mac OS X and Windows computers. Via a secured password, users can transfer confidential data securely and access it on any computers or only on authorized ones. Moreover, some additional useful features are available to the IT Administrator like remotely sending messages to the users, requesting a password change or changing it directly, resetting the device and wiping the confidential data in case the device is lost or stolen.
With the use of Endpoint Protector (a cross-platform Data Loss Prevention solution), a policy that allows only encrypted devices can be enforced throughout the network. When a user plugs in an unencrypted USB storage device, the Endpoint Protector client will automatically push the EasyLock encryption solution and launch it. Only by defining a password and logging into the application will the USB device be usable in the network.
Additional data security features like a very granular Device Control module or a powerful Content Aware Protection module are also available through the use of Endpoint Protector. Moreover, for Mac OS X, Enforced Encryption can also be remotely enabled through the built-in FileVault encryption.
Remote Wipe
The 256bit AES encryption is designed to safeguard the data in case the USB device is lost or stolen. Trying to tamper with the device will automatically wipe the data. However, for additional safety and ease of mind, the device can be remotely wiped by the administrator at any time.
Master Password
The password defined by users are not saved in any databases. However, if the situation calls for it and the administrator may need to have access to the data saved on users' encrypted devices, the master password will allow for easy access.
Reset User Password
Based on the company's internal procedure, passwords will need to be changed at regular intervals. The administrator can enforce the procedures or use the feature when the encrypted device is provided to a different employee
Site License
For large installations, a site license can be used. This will ensure that any newly connected device can automatically be encrypted and a license will be allocated without having to worry about additional costs.

Spotted at Trader Joe's: 5 Great Staples for Our Pantries
frozen or canned. 2. Julienne-Sliced Sundried Tomatoes - This one is just so convenient. We can just scoop exactly what we need right out of the jar and put it directly into whatever we're making. 3.

Morbier, Raclette, and Sheep's Milk Cheeses - If you don't live near a good cheese shop (like I do!), these cheeses can be hard to find. Or are prohibitively expensive when you do. I did a little dance when I saw these in the cooler. 5. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Callets - Another happy find. Remember those incredible chocolate chip cookies from the New York Times, which called for callets? I had trouble finding callets back then, but not any more!
