Art Blakey
Born in 1919, Art Blakey began his musical career, as did many jazz musicians, in the church. The foster son of a devout Seventh Day Adventist Family, Art learned the piano as he learned the Bible, mastering both at an early age.
But as Art himself told it so many times, his career on the piano ended at the wrong end of a pistol when the owner of the Democratic Club—the Pittsburgh nightclub where he was gigging—ordered him off the piano and onto the drums.
Art, then in his early teens and a budding pianist, was usurped by an equally young, Erroll Garner who, as it turned out, was as skilled at the piano as Blakey later was at the drums. The upset turned intoRead more

May 19 – July 1, 2016
Kala Gallery is looking forward to the opening of Fermata on Thursday, May 19, 6-8pm.
The exhibition Fermata presents artists who explore the psychological disjunction in our contemporary life caused by its fast pace and rapid changes, such as disconnections between mind and information, body and image, reason and result, and what is real and what we believe is real, and more.
Musical notation fermata indicates prolongation of the time value of a note or rest at the performer's discretion. Without a fermata, our mind might not catch up with the progression of music. Our information driven society continuously feeds us data. How do we process this feed in real time? We search many things online: places to travel, partners to meet, things to buy, pets to adopt, apartments to live, but there are disconnections between expectations formulated by online searches and real life experiences. Receiving so much information in such a short time, we are losing mental room to formulate coherent ideas, construct memories and/or create connections between fantasy and reality.
The exhibition Fermata investigates notions of psychological attachment and detachment, ideas of time, patience and impatience, speed of life, alternative approaches to handle information, and more.

Publisher's Letter
It was, of course, a devastating loss for Elizabeth, her husband, actor-director Paul Michael Glaser, and their young son, Jake, now 8, who is also HIV positive. "I thought, 'It's not okay for me ever to be happy again, because I've lost my child,' " Glaser told PEOPLE in 1991. "But I've learned that the challenge of my life is to be happy in the face of losing my child." Glaser, now 45, has met that challenge by investing her formidable talents as activist and fund-raiser in the nonprofit Pediatric AIDS Foundation, which she cofounded with Susan DeLaurentis and Susie Zeegen in 1988. Its mission: to identify and fund critically needed pediatric AIDS research.
To that end, the foundation hosts an annual "Time for Heroes" picnic and carnival, always a draw on the Hollywood charity circuit. On June 6 such incandescents as Magic Johnson. Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Billy Crystal, Candice Bergen. Warren Beatty and their children turned out for the affair, helping to raise $1.25 million (see story on page 34).
This year, PEOPLE, along with the Milken Family Medical Foundation, was proud to underwrite the festivities. "It's an honor for PEOPLE to contribute to an event that means so much to so many here," said PEOPLE managing editor Landon Y. Jones Jr. "Journalists are too often seen as portraying Hollywood negatively. It was exciting for us to participate in something that was so clearly positive and that made a contribution to the community that we write about."
Glaser gave PEOPLE readers a glimpse of her private struggle with the disease when an excerpt from her book. In the Absence of Angels, was published in the magazine Feb. 4, 1991. "She's an articulate advocate of her cause," says Jones, who visited the foundation's Santa Monica office in March.
By the year 2000, the World Health Organization predicts that 10 million children will be infected with HIV, and AIDS will be one of the five leading causes of death among young people worldwide. "Our goal won't be realized until we're saving lives," says Glaser. "AIDS impacts all people. It's a problem of humanity."
I agree. If PEOPLE'S affiliation with the Pediatric AIDS Foundation can heighten the public's awareness and raise money to combat this insidious epidemic, then we're using our name and the popularity of our magazine to reach the public in a most effective way.

Devon Alexander's Trainer: On Move to 147, Malignaggi
by David P. Greisman
BoxingScene.com caught up briefly with Kevin Cunningham, trainer to former 140-pound titleholder Devon Alexander. Cunningham talked about the possibility of Alexander's next fight, his debut at welterweight, being against Paulie Malignaggi, and also about why the move to the 147-pound division is the right one.
BoxingScene.com: What's the latest?
Cunningham: "I don't have anything definite to talk about. For the most part, there's a lot of rumors and innuendos and buzz about Devon and fighting Paulie. As of this point, I haven't heard anything from [Golden Boy Promotions CEO] Richard Schaefer yet. It's pretty much just a bunch of conversation and rumor going on right now."
BoxingScene.com: Do you want that fight for Devon?
Cunningham: "Definitely. I think it's a good first fight at welterweight for Devon. I think Paulie, he's experienced, he's shown that he's still a slick boxer in there. He knows his way around the ring, and he's been in with some of the top guys. I think it's a good test for Devon's first fight at welterweight."
BoxingScene.com: Do you think Devon's going to have any trouble adjusting to 147?
Cunningham: "No. I think that's part of his problem in the last couple of fights, we're taking off too much, cutting into muscle, to the point where it was just making him weak making 140. He's been fighting 140 since he was 16. He's 24 years old now. He's growing. He's maturing. His body's maturing. We can't keep squeezing him down to make 140 forever.
"You look at Victor Ortiz, all these guys were in the 2004 Olympic trials. Victor Ortiz, when he was in the 2004 Olympic trials, he was fighting 132. Devon was 141. Amir Khan was 130-something in the Olympics. [Ortiz has recently moved to welterweight, while Khan is talking about doing so soon] The kid can't fight at 140 forever."

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - Seventeen-year-old John Lee Malvo's fingerprints were the only ones found on the rifle used in the sniper attacks, a prosecutor said Friday as authorities linked another Maryland shooting to the two suspects.
Paul LaRuffa, 55, was shot six times at close range as he locked up his restaurant in suburban Clinton, Md., on Sept. 5 - nearly a month before last month's deadly spree began in the Washington area. He survived.
Malvo and John Allen Muhammad have now been accused of shooting 19 people.
Federal authorities have given Virginia prosecutors the first trial against the suspects, saying the state has the best chance of obtaining the death penalty. No trial has been scheduled.
At the teenager's initial court appearance in Virginia, Fairfax County prosecutor Robert F. Horan Jr. said eyewitnesses had spotted Malvo at three of the fatal crime scenes. The teen was ordered held without bail.
A few miles away, Muhammad, 41, made his first appearance in a Virginia court and a judge said he would appoint a lawyer for him.
Last week, Horan said that there was "an equal possibility" either Malvo or Muhammad gunned down FBI analyst Linda Franklin outside a Home Depot on Oct. 14 in Fairfax.

Review: ABC's 'Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23'
Odd couple comedy has appealing center, but needs some work
ABC's new "Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23" (tomorrow night at 9:30) feels familiar in many strange ways. It's an odd-couple comedy, in which Dreama Walker's sunny June is paired with Krysten Ritter as the wicked title character Chloe, but odd couples in comedy is a tradition that long, long precedes even "The Odd Couple" itself. What's strange is how many incredibly specific ways it invokes some past comedies.
First you have that title, which, like ABC's "GCB" this spring and CBS' "$#*! My Dad Says" last season, tries to use the currency of a curse word in the title without actually using that word. (Though it's used in dialogue in the pilot.)
For that matter, there's the sense that this is another one of those occasional attempts (FOX's "Action" being the best of those) to make a network sitcom that has the kind of edgy content — Chloe is fully nude (albeit pixelated) in one scene, and her across-the-window neighbor is usually masturbating just out of frame — that suggests a cable comedy.
Then there's the presence of "Dawson's Creek" alum James Van Der Beek in the part he was born to play, baby: "Dawson's Creek" alum James Van Der Beek, who's best friends with the B---- in Apt. 23. ABC had another Wednesday sitcom in the late '90s, "It's Like, You Know...," where Jennifer Grey played herself as the wacky neighbor, Neil Patrick Harris jump-started his career playing a debauched version of himself in the "Harold & Kumar" films, and Matt LeBlanc just got an Emmy nomination for doing the same on Showtime's "Episodes." (And the Beek, like LeBlanc, is beneficiary of a joke about how well-endowed he is.)
And because of its late premiere date, "Don't Trust the B" becomes the last of many, many new shows this season to have its main character's life ruined by some kind of Bernie Madoff figure (see also "2 Broke Girls," "Revenge," and, again, "GCB").
So you have this odd couple body that's been stitched together, Frankenstein-style, with a lot of quirky yet familiar pieces. And
having seen three episodes of "Don't Trust the B" (two of which ABC already made available online), some of it works, while other pieces either need to be dropped or improved going forward.
Fortunately, there's a solid foundation in Walker and Ritter as the uneasy roommates. Each nicely embodies their respective stereotype even as they're transcending it, where Walker's just as capable of being crazy and ruthless as Ritter is of being vulnerable, even if it's incredibly brief before Chloe goes back to a character who has, in the words of The Beek from the Creek, "the morals of a pirate."
And speaking of Dawson, every time I worried that that particular gag was about to wear thin, the show's writers (headed by creator Nahnatchka Khan) find a new way to tweak it, so it's not just about Beek being propositioned by women who want him to sleep with them while wearing Dawson's red flannel shirt. In one episode, he teaches an acting class at NYU just to prove he's better than James Franco; in another, we learn that he's the latest C-list addition to "Dancing with the Stars." Van Der Beek has been a good sport about the nature of his celebrity for a while, and he proves a graceful partner for both Ritter and Walker.
But there are a lot of weird tonal issues with the rest of the show, which mostly aspires to be a live-action cartoon but doesn't always pull it off. So most of the supporting characters — including aforementioned pervert neighbor Eli (Michael Blaiklock) and Chloe's stalker ex-roommate Robin (Liza Lapira) — exist in two dimensions, if that, and it's never clear whether Chloe is meant to get away with everything in a world operating by recognizable logic or one closer to Khan's previous gig writing for "American Dad."
There's also the matter of how long the show can live up to different parts of its title title. Chloe, it turns out, has been hustling prospective roommates out of rent money for years before scaring them away, and June is the first one to actually stand up to her. But after they reach a détente at the end of the pilot, the mistrust returns in the second episode, before a later one tries to flip things around by having June learn too much from hanging around Chloe. There's a push-pull to this kind of duo, but it's also tricky to have them stay friends without defanging Chloe and requiring a name change to "Trust, But Verify the Vamp in Apt. 23."
I also found that, no matter what stage the friendship was in, I didn't laugh out loud all that much at any of the episodes, though I was pleased overall by the leads and surreal worldview. With good raw material at the center, I'll give a comedy time to find itself, and the third episode I watched was the best of the three. I just wonder about the viability on ABC for something this off-brand. I imagine this will be an even worse match for "Modern Family" than either "Cougar Town" or "Happy Endings" (even "Mr. Sunshine (Yay)" was a better fit tonally). In an ideal world, this is a big hit and becomes the anchor of a new comedy night featuring "Cougar Town," "Happy Endings" and something else. In the actual world, I can see the average "Modern Family" fan turning this thing off less than 30 seconds after we meet the masturbating neighbor.

BP First Quarter 2012 Results Release date: 01 May 2012 BP today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2012. Underlying replacement cost profit, adjusted for non-operating items and fair value accounting effects, was $4.8 billion for the quarter, compared to $5.0 billion in the previous quarter. The quarter's result was impacted adversely by a $541 million consolidation adjustment in respect of unrealised profits in inventory held within the downstream business (see notes). The company also said that it is making good progress towards the operational milestones that it expects to meet in 2012 – advancing the development of major new projects, continuing to gain promising new exploration access, and continuing its $38 billion divestment programme. Group chief executive Bob Dudley said: "We have made a good start against our strategic priorities for 2012. During the quarter we gained access to significant new deepwater and US shale exploration acreage, our ongoing divestment programme has reached $23 billion, and we have five deepwater rigs at work in the Gulf of Mexico. This operational progress will underpin the financial momentum we expect to come through as we move into 2013 and 2014." http://www.bp.com/extendedgenericarticle.do?categoryId=2012968&contentId=7074445 PDF http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_internet/globalbp/STAGING/global_assets/downloads/B/bp_first_quarter_2012_result.pdf
Too much MON-YANA. Sad but true!! "What if" crude hadbeen $ 80 per barrel. Even sadder!!!!
yeah, but it wasn't, and the numbers were "sad" because BP wants them "sad", in sympathy with all of the sue-happy losers in the GoM. It's a perfect play by BP. Too bad they had bag the numbers the way they did, but if they hadn't, even more money-grubbing lazy troglodytes would be lining up with palm open looking for a pay-off. REV was up 9%, that speaks volumes.

That's exactly what the Moscow Elks are doing at Saint Mary's Catholic Church.
"It makes me feel good to do it," said Elks member Samie Valin. "And I do more because my daughter jumps me sometimes."
"It's a sit-down, traditional Thanksgiving dinner," said Elks member Steven Meier. "So we have turkey, and stuffing, and cranberry sauce, and of course we have a little pie with our cool whip."
Volunteers spent Wednesday washing, peeling, and chopping to prepare for Thursday's community wide Thanksgiving meal.
"I don't care what it is, if I can do it, I'll do it, or I'll learn to do it," said Valin.
"This is a full day process," said Meier. "We go all day today, and I'll be in here tomorrow at six in the morning to get things going and then we will go until we're done."
Thursday, this room will be filled with more than 150 guests. And if it wasn't for this meal they may have had to spend Thanksgiving alone.
"It's for anybody who's lonely, or needy, or alone, and can come out and join us," said Meier.
This is a free meal that is offered to everyone from college students that couldn't make it home, to people who can't afford to make their own feast.
"The response is phenomenal," said Meier. "We have people everywhere from elderly who come in and want to have a place to be with other people, and we have people who are totally homeless. Last year we had a guy that was living under a porch that came in. And that's what it's all about."
Wednesday's hard work will feed a lot of people, but for the Elks it not all about numbers. It's about helping the community.
"Even if we served one person, one person in need, the whole meal would be a success," said Meier.

We know it can be tough to eat right when you're on a budget, but local dietitians said it can be done. Reporter Rachel Dubrovin gives us some tips on what to look for in the grocery store.
If you're trying to save money at the grocery store, it often comes down to fresh, frozen, or canned foods.
"Fresh is often a good choice, just because you know there's not going to be added things like sugar or sodium in it," said Gritman Medical Center Clinical Dietitian Mary Skoglund. "However, for a lot of people fresh doesn't work in your budget. So if you can't buy fresh, definitely frozen or canned can be a good option."
Mary Skoglund is one of Gritman Medical Center's registered dietitian nutritionists. She said you can find healthy foods for cheap if you know how to read the labels.
"Serving size is always the first thing you want to look at, it shows you what the nutrition facts are based on," said Skoglund.
When looking at canned or frozen produce, Skoglund said the fewer ingredients the better.
"You do want to watch out for any added butters, creams, sauces, sugars," said Skoglund. "Try to buy plain fruits or vegetables."
Stay away from "partially hydrogenated oils" because it's code for trans fats, which can raise your bad cholesterol levels.
"It is one we do want to avoid in all of our food if possible," said Skoglund.
And finally go ahead and fill up on high-fiber foods.
"Fiber is a really great nutrient," said Skoglund. "It's one that can help with preventing constipation, it can help with your cholesterol and your triglycerides. The general recommendation is to get about 20-35 grams per day."

Utility wants to spend $153 million on pollution controls at Sheboygan plant
Pollution controls would be installed at a 23-year-old coal-fired power plant in Sheboygan at a cost of $153 million under an application filed with state regulators Friday by Alliant Energy Corp.
Wisconsin Power & Light Co., a subsidiary of Alliant, is seeking permission from the state Public Service Commission to install pollution controls that would reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide by 75%, the utility said.
The Edgewater 5 power plant along Lake Michigan in Sheboygan is a jointly owned plant, with Alliant owning 75% and the remainder owned by We Energies of Milwaukee. That means that if the project is approved, WP&L electric customers would pay $115 million and We Energies customers would pay $38 million for the project.
The project has a six-year payback period and would keep the coal plant that opened in 1985 open for another 45 years, WP&L said. If the PSC approves the work, the project would be completed by 2011.
The filing comes days after the Public Service Commission denied an Alliant request to build a new coal-fired power plant in Cassville in southwestern Wisconsin at a cost of nearly $1.3 billion.
Nitrogen oxide is a contributor to ground-level ozone, a contributor to smog that has been linked to asthma and other respiratory problems, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The changes are needed to comply with state air-quality restrictions enacted to improve the air quality in eight counties in eastern Wisconsin, including Sheboygan County, that are deemed to have more polluted air than EPA standards mandate.
In its application, the utility is faced with the choice of either shutting the plant or retrofitting it to comply with the standards for nitrogen oxide emissions.
Clean Wisconsin and the Citizens' Utility Board said they had not yet reviewed the filing to determine whether they will ask that the plant be shut down rather than upgraded with environmental controls. The groups were unsuccessful in blocking a similar pollution-control project at the We Energies Oak Creek power plant this year.
In that case, the environmental and consumer groups argued that the likelihood of regulations restricting emissions of carbon dioxide would make operating the plant more costly.
But state regulators said the project made sense because Oak Creek is the most efficient coal-burning power plant in the state.
In its filing with regulators Friday, WP&L says Edgewater 5's efficiency ranks it in the top 25% of coal plants in Wisconsin.
The company said its computer models forecast that retrofitting the plant would be less expensive for WP&L customers than closing it, even if carbon regulations are enacted.
We Energies also forecasts that retrofitting the plant would be the most cost-effective option for its customers, utility spokesman Brian Manthey said.

USURPING IMPOSTOR BASTARD DECEIVES ALL AGAIN DURING 2011, 2013 "DEBT LIMIT" CRISIS

Federal Reserve Bank of New York officials secretly conducted real-time exercises during the 2011 and 2013 debt-limit crisis that demonstrated the federal government could function during a temporary shutdown by prioritizing spending, even as Treasury Secretary Jack Lew publicly claimed many times that such efforts were "unworkable," according to a new report by the House Financial Services Committee obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The staff report, to be released Tuesday, charges that Lew and other Obama administration officials deliberately misled Congress and the public during the federal budget and debt limit showdowns in both years. The committee will convene a public hearing on the report Feb. 2.

The report also states that the Obama administration crafted actual contingency plans to pay for Social Security and veterans benefits, as well as principal and interest on the national debt if the government was temporarily unable to borrow more money. The Committee concludes that over the last two years the Treasury Department has "obstructed" congressional efforts to get to the bottom of the administration's real-time policy during the two showdowns.

The Constitution stipulates that only Congress can determine how much money the federal government can borrow. Presidents thus cannot unilaterally spend beyond congressional debt ceiling limits set. The committee — chaired by Republican Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas — charged that during both confrontations, the Obama administration held the country's creditworthiness "hostage" by claiming default was the only possibility if the debit ceiling was not raised.

"These internal documents show the Obama Administration took the nation's creditworthiness and economy hostage in a cynical attempt to create a crisis so the president could get what he wanted during negotiations over the debt ceiling," Hensarling said in a statement to be released with the report Tuesday.

The report also revealed that the Treasury Department did not publicly divulge its plans to prioritize payments "for the express purpose of creating market uncertainty in an effort to pressure Congress to acquiesce in the administration's 'no negotiation' posture on the debt ceiling."

Wisconsin Republican Rep. Sean Duffy, the financial services panel's oversight subcommittee chairman, said the administration "manufactured a crisis to put politics ahead of economic stability."

The massive, 322-page report chronicles frank, behind-the-scenes discussions among Federal Reserve Board and Federal Bank of New York officials as Congress debated whether to keep existing debt limits or allow Treasury to borrow more money. The House committee and the Treasury Department have been fighting a bitter, two-year battle over Federal Reserve documents.

The report states that "Treasury apparently directed the New York Fed not to answer valid congressional oversight inquiries because Treasury knew the answers would expose the dishonesty of the administration's public statements."

A Treasury Department spokesman told TheDCNF, "Treasury has been committed to working cooperatively with the Committee to provide it with the information it needs," including providing it with the New York Fed documents. The report is based on 3,878 pages of internal documents the committee eventually acquired despite Treasury's opposition. The panel finally obtained the documents by subpoena. The report contains 41 separate appendices.

The revelations will likely add new intensity to the long-running public debate on the proper level of federal spending as the 2016 election campaign accelerates with Monday's Iowa presidential caucus and next week's New Hampshire presidential primary. Obama administration officials repeatedly declared that a complete government shutdown with no partial or interim payments was the only alternative to congressional approval of an increased debt ceiling.

In testimony Oct. 13, 2013, before the Senate Finance Committee, for example, Lew said the government could not "pick and choose" the funding of individual government programs once the debt limit ceiling was reached.

"I do not believe there is a way to pick and choose on a broad basis. The system was not designed to be turned off selectively," Lew said.

The Federal Reserve documents revealed in the report show the Obama administration was in fact prepared to pick and choose which payments to make "in order to protect the creditworthiness of the United States."

An internal e-mail from an official in the New York Fed's Financial Institution Supervision Group states that regardless of the congressional outcome, "Treasury is adamant they will make [Principal and Interest] payments. Not considering possibility of missing debt payments." The P&I payments are made to Treasury bond holders.

"At the same time that Treasury was insisting to Congress and the American people that prioritization is unworkable, Treasury and New York Fed officials were working behind the scenes on a prioritization plan," the report charges.

In private, Federal Reserve Board Federal Reserve Bank of New York officials vigorously denounced the administration's secrecy over its contingency planning, one calling it "crazy, counter-productive, and add[ing] risk to an already risky situation."

Federal Reserve Governor Jerome H. Powell, for example, complained that the administration tactics were part of political brinkmanship. "Treasury wants to maximize pressure on Congress by limiting communications on contingency planning," he said in an email.

The report noted that both the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Federal Bank of New York had "grave concerns with Treasury's political decision not to inform the public of the administration's debt ceiling contingency plans."

The Federal Reserve Board staff "strongly encouraged Treasury to reveal its plan in advance" so that the private sector could prepare properly for a debt ceiling event but Treasury officials were "very reluctant to do so," according to the report.

The Federal Reserve documents also depict officials at the Federal Bank of New York twice engaging in intense "tabletop exercises" about how government agencies could operate under a spending limit.

A March 16, 2011, table-top exercise included an hour-by-hour simulation of how 29 governmental agencies and market players would react when the federal government reached its debt limit.

At the time, the federal government would be within $25 million of its $14.3 trillion budget limit. The Secretary of the Treasury would invoke the Federal Reserve Debt Ceiling Crisis procedures, which provide that the "The President and the Secretary of the Treasury meet with the Fed Chairman at noon and agree that the Federal Reserve should pursue actions to honor and settle SSI, veterans benefits and P&I payments." SSI refers to Social Security and disability payments.

A similar April 9, 2013, debt ceiling table-top exercise focused on a "scenario" in which "Treasury begins controlling the flow of payments" and in which "SSI, veterans benefits and P&I payments [would] be prioritized over all other governmental obligations." The debt ceiling was $16.3 trillion at the time of the second exercise.

The procedures also state that "based on direction from the President, Treasury will pay only selected type of payments and withhold other government payments."

Both Moody's and Goldman Sachs publicly suggested during the 2013 crisis that it was possible the government could assure markets by pledging to pay principal and interest, Social Social and veterans benefits.

When contacted by TheDCNF, the Treasury Department did not directly address the issue of prioritizing payments but forwarded an October 16, 2015 blog, which stated in part, "The New York Fed's system would be technologically capable of continuing to make principal and interest payment," but added, "this approach would be entirely experimental and create unacceptable risk to both domestic and global financial markets."

Multiple think tanks, including the Mercatus Center, have released reports suggesting numerous alternatives to default if the debt limit ceiling is not increased.

The national debt limit has tripled under Obama and now stands at $18.9 trillion.

 OBAMA'S CHIEF OF STAFF JUST MADE HORRIFYING REVELATION ABOUT OBAMA'S 'AUDACIOUS' FINAL PLANS tag:12160.info,2016-01-14:2649739:Topic:1606498 2016-01-14T23:19:53.880Z Out da basket& DeplorablyPistOff http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d

JANUARY 13, 2016 BY WARNER TODD HUSTON COMMENTS (0)

While President Obama's frequent use of executive orders to implement his policies has angered many Republicans, his chief of staff is warning Obama has even bigger plans to enact policies without involving Congress.

White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough had a warning for the nation — in his final year in office, Obama will indulge in "audacious executive action."

McDonough issued his warning during a breakfast with reporters in Washington D.C., in response to a question about what the president meant when he said he would "go it alone" if Congress wouldn't back him.

According to National Review, McDonough replied, "We'll do audacious executive action over the course of the rest of the year, I'm confident of that." McDonough also said Obama and his team would endeavor to make sure his EOs couldn't be "undone" by Congress at a later date.

But McDonough hinted that Obama wasn't going to be constrained by law, Congress, or the Constitution. "McDonough said the White House is considering executive action on any and all issues," the magazine reported. "And the main question President Obama plans to ask himself is 'Why not?'"

Conservatives have been denouncing the way the president uses his executive orders (EOs) to force his ideology on the country through his power to affect the business community, environmental regulations, and other sectors of the country. They claim Obama's use of EOs has been the most extreme of any president.

Liberals counter Obama has not abused the powers of his office because he has actually issued fewer EOs than most other recent presidents. And that's true, if you go strictly by the numbers.

However, as David Harsanyi notes, it isn't the number of EOs, but rather what is contained in them, that is cause for concern. Harsanyi says Obama has perpetrated the worst overreach of any executive in history and his EOs have been aimed at far reaching and substantive changes in the American way of life.

While other presidents centered many of their EOs on things that won't have a significant impact on most people's, Obama's EOs are meant to affect large segments of the population and he's done so fully admitting he is going around the people elected to make these decisions.

You'll recall his infamous claim he "has a pen" with which he can just write his plans into existence without anyone's approval. Not Congress, not the courts, and not the voters.

But Obama has even raised the eyebrows of some liberals with his extreme use of the executive order. Late last year, left-winger Bill Maher warned liberals celebrating Obama's EOs that someday a Republican might emulate Obama's EO style, so they should be wary of Obama's use of EOs today.

The anonymous film shows a masked figure in a black monk's cowl perform a number of eerie gestures in a derelict building as weird droning sound is heard.

The distorted black and white footage and soundtrack is unsettling – but when the symbols are analysed things start to get REALLY scary.

Hidden messages give the GPS co-ordinates of the White House, contain graphic images of a woman being tortured and warn: "You have 1 year or less."

GETTY NOSEY: The figure's mask looks like ones used in the Venice carnival

The video's catchy title – 01101101 01110101 01100101 01110010 01110100 01100101 – is binary code.

When converted to letters it spells out muetre – Spanish for DEATH.

A description of the video – which was posted on Youtube and sent to a Swedish tech blog in a DVD also containing SATANIC imagery – is also in binary code.

When deciphered it translates as: "You have 1 year or less".

YOUTUBE
 OMINOUS: This image – like a crucifixion – is only revealed when the video is paused

GETTY PRESIDENT: Barack Obama may be the target of the creepy video

The haunting audio track appears to be nothing but white noise.

But when the screeching sound is represented visually it reveals an image of a woman being tied up or tortured and the chilling message: "You are already dead."

When the audio from the DVD's main menu is similarly displayed – using a spectrogram – it uncovers a picture of a skull.

Frame-by-frame analysis of the footage unearths morse code and a set of numbers.

The the numbers are the GPS co-ordinates for the White House and the morse code spells outREDLIPSLIKETENTH – an anagram of "kill the president".

Other symbols from the bizarre video – including the figure's body movements – are yet to be decoded.

The video has been uploaded to Youtube a number of times.

User AETBX – who uploaded the oldest version – denies making it and told a tech blog a female friend found a disc containing the video in a park.

The DVD sent to the Swedish blog was reportedly sent from a Polish address.

Some netizens have suggested it is a promo for a video game – but others believe it is the work of a mass murderer.

One Reddit user wrote: "I don't think its a promo, like I did at first.

"At worst, its a terrorist threat or the work of some killer."

(Douglas Ernest) Welcome to President Obama's brave new world.

Federal agencies have been directed to hire psychologists to experiment and find ways to better manipulate the American people to the federal government's will.

"A growing body of evidence demonstrates that behavioral science insights – research findings from fields such as behavioral economics and psychology about how people make decisions and act on them – can be used to design government policies to better serve the American people," Obama wrote in an executive order released Tuesday on WhiteHouse.gov. The origin of the order can be traced back to a 2013 policy proposal entertained by the White House called "Strengthening Federal Capacity for Behavioral Insights."

The president's new order said streamlined applications for federal financial aid and automatic retirement payments are two examples where behavioral-science lessons applied to government programs have been effective.

"[T]o more fully realize the benefits of behavioral insights and deliver better results at a lower cost for the American people, the federal government should design its policies and programs to reflect our best understanding of how people engage with, participate in, use, and respond to those policies and programs," Obama wrote, the Washington Examiner reported.

Obama has not hidden his interest in using federal resources to employ behavioral science techniques on the public. The White House launched a Social and Behavioral Sciences Team, or SBST, in February 2014 and then celebrated its one-year anniversary on the White House blog.

"SBST had a successful first year, launching a wide variety of evidence-based pilots with objectives ranging from connecting veterans with employment and educational counseling benefits to helping struggling student borrowers understand their loan repayment options," the Obama administration wrote Feb. 9, 2015.

SBST will now move forward to identify programs that will "most effectively promote public welfare, as appropriate, giving particular consideration to the selection and setting of default options." The team's work is done under the purview of the National Science and Technology Council.

Two figures whose research played a key role in bringing the new initiative to fruition were Harvard Law School professor Cass Sunstein (once deemed Obama's regulatory czar), and Richard Thaler, a University of Chicago economist, the Daily Beast reported Tuesday.

"The two behavioral scientists argued in their 2008 book 'Nudge' that government policies can be designed in a way that 'nudges' citizens toward certain behaviors and choices," the Daily Beast reported.

Obama's executive order requires SBST to issue guidance to federal agencies on how to implement his policy directive within the next 45 days.

SBST will also consider different ways of labeling "benefits, taxes, subsidies, and other incentives" to "more effectively and efficiently promote" the president's policy goal.

 In 2013, in a little-heralded case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit rejected the Obama Labor Department's attempt to punish voluntary retirement plan service providers. The DOL, under the direction of the controversial, radical leftist Tom Perez, had tried to force providers of 401(k), 403(b), IRA, and related services to adopt a massive new set of regulations known as "fiduciary" responsibilities.

The Seventh Circuit slammed the door shut on Labor and the Supreme Court thereafter declined to hear the appeal, which meant that the Obama administration had lost in the highest court in the land.

Of course for the "most transparent administration ever", that step simply meant that the court's opinion was to be rejected and that Obama would use his infamous pen to rule by executive fiat. After all, the ends justify the means, correct?

On August 24th, Perez and the Labor Department confirmed they are moving forward with new regulations that would repudiate the court's opinion. Even Obama's SEC Commissioner issued an ominous warning that the Labor Department's new regulations would unleash havoc and create "a mess."

Furthermore, financial services experts have cautioned that the new rule is "too complicated to [actually] put into practice."

Earlier this month, the Labor Department held public hearings to discuss the input and concerns they have received from industry groups and other stakeholders that will be impacted by the department's proposal to expand the definition of "fiduciary" under ERISA … In the debate over the DOL's proposal — which, as written, [will] create a vast and costly new regulatory regime for independent firms and advisers across the country…

Barack Obama and Tom Perez don't care about all of that. They're on a mission to seize your retirement funds:

Labor Department officials are determined to produce a new standard of fiduciary duty for anyone giving retirement investment advice, once they process concerns raised in thousands of comment letters and four days of hearings on their proposal.

A SIMPLE PLAN

Like Obamacare, the idea is to drive small- and mid-size service providers out of the retirement business by ensuring that the costs of complying with regulations are unaffordable. And, to ensure a Republican president can't easily unwind the Rube Goldberg machinery, the Labor Department has also promised an impossible eight month implementation timeline. Most providers believe it will take three years to follow all of the byzantine rules and regulations.

Their intent, in my view, is to force a consolidation of the retirement service industry, just as Obamacare drove mergers and acquisitions in the health care business, leaving only gigantic corporations in its wake. These companies have become intertwined and dependent upon legislators and lobbyists in Washington. They can't make a move without the permission of the federal leviathan.

Many Democrats are open about the true goal of Obamacare: to end up with a single-payer health care system, modeled after the National Health Service in the U.K. You know, the system that wasreported to have killed 120,000 seniors in 2012 alone.

SETTING THEIR SIGHTS ON TRILLIONS OF YOUR RETIREMENT DOLLARS

The Obama administration has its sights set on an incredible amount of your money. By some estimates, Americans are holding well over $10 trillion in private retirement accounts.

For a country with debt that is clearly "unsustainable" (source: the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office), flashing that kind of figure to a Democrat politician is akin to showing a kilo of heroin to a desperate junkie.

THE GOAL: FINANCIAL REPRESSION

One of the first steps the Obama administration took to signal its direction was to unveil its wildly unsuccessful "MyRA" program. This takes participants' funds and invests them in "ultra-safe", government-issued debt.

You can be sure that the future of the retirement services business will be to extend "fiduciary" responsibilities to require advisors to leverage federal debt instruments in their clients' portfolios.

This is called "financial repression", and it is the hallmark of a government on its way to bankruptcy. Essentially, a failing government forces investors to purchase its debt because it knows damn well that the instruments will ultimately never be repaid.

Argentina and other failed countries have embarked upon this strategy prior to a full-blown currency collapse.

You can be sure that the real goal of the Obama administration is to nationalize your retirement account and to invest it in debt that will become increasingly unsellable in the open market.

If you want to maintain control of your retirement funds, I'd recommend contacting your member of Congress today. Urge them to defund the Department of Labor until this rule is nuked from orbit.

 Obama Collecting Personal Data For A Secret Race Database tag:12160.info,2015-07-19:2649739:Topic:1576584 2015-07-19T02:09:00.804Z Out da basket& DeplorablyPistOff http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d
A key part of President Obama's legacy will be the fed's unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of "racial and economic justice."

A key part of President Obama's legacy will be the fed's unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of "racial and economic justice."

Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama's racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document "inequalities" between minorities and whites.

This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama already is using to make "disparate impact" cases against: banks that don't make enough prime loans to minorities; schools that suspend too many blacks; cities that don't offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities; and employers who turn down African-Americans for jobs due to criminal backgrounds.

Big Brother Barack wants the databases operational before he leaves office, and much of the data in them will be posted online.

So civil-rights attorneys and urban activist groups will be able to exploit them to show patterns of "racial disparities" and "segregation," even if no other evidence of discrimination exists.

Housing database

The granddaddy of them all is the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing database, which the Department of Housing and Urban Development rolled out earlier this month to racially balance the nation, ZIP code by ZIP code. It will map every US neighborhood by four racial groups — white, Asian, black or African-American, and Hispanic/Latino — and publish "geospatial data" pinpointing racial imbalances.

The agency proposes using nonwhite populations of 50% or higher as the threshold for classifying segregated areas.

Federally funded cities deemed overly segregated will be pressured to change their zoning laws to allow construction of more subsidized housing in affluent areas in the suburbs, and relocate inner-city minorities to those predominantly white areas. HUD's maps, which use dots to show the racial distribution or density in residential areas, will be used to select affordable-housing sites.

HUD plans to drill down to an even more granular level, detailing the proximity of black residents to transportation sites, good schools, parks and even supermarkets. If the agency's social engineers rule the distance between blacks and these suburban "amenities" is too far, municipalities must find ways to close the gap or forfeit federal grant money and face possible lawsuits for housing discrimination.

Civil-rights groups will have access to the agency's sophisticated mapping software, and will participate in city plans to re-engineer neighborhoods under new community outreach requirements.

"By opening this data to everybody, everyone in a community can weigh in," Obama said. "If you want affordable housing nearby, now you'll have the data you need to make your case."

Mortgage database

Meanwhile, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, headed by former Congressional Black Caucus leader Mel Watt, is building its own database for racially balancing home loans. The so-called National Mortgage Database Project will compile 16 years of lending data, broken down by race, and hold everything from individual credit scores and employment records.

Mortgage contracts won't be the only financial records vacuumed up by the database. According to federal documents, the repository will include "all credit lines," from credit cards to student loans to car loans — anything reported to credit bureaus. This is even more information than the IRS collects.

The FHFA will also pry into your personal assets and debts and whether you have any bankruptcies. The agency even wants to know the square footage and lot size of your home, as well as your interest rate.

FHFA will share the info with Obama's brainchild, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which acts more like a civil-rights agency, aggressively investigating lenders for racial bias.

The FHFA has offered no clear explanation as to why the government wants to sweep up so much sensitive information on Americans, other than stating it's for "research" and "policymaking."

However, CFPB Director Richard Cordray was more forthcoming, explaining in a recent talk to the radical California-based Greenlining Institute: "We will be better able to identify possible discriminatory lending patterns."

Credit database

CFPB is separately amassing a database to monitor ordinary citizens' credit-card transactions. It hopes to vacuum up some 900 million credit-card accounts — all sorted by race — representing roughly 85% of the US credit-card market. Why? To sniff out "disparities" in interest rates, charge-offs and collections.

Employment database

CFPB also just finalized a rule requiring all regulated banks to report data on minority hiring to an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion. It will collect reams of employment data, broken down by race, to police diversity on Wall Street as part of yet another fishing expedition.

School database

Through its mandatory Civil Rights Data Collection project, the Education Department is gathering information on student suspensions and expulsions, by race, from every public school district in the country. Districts that show disparities in discipline will be targeted for reform.

Those that don't comply will be punished. Several already have been forced to revise their discipline policies, which has led to violent disruptions in classrooms.

Obama's educrats want to know how many blacks versus whites are enrolled in gifted-and-talented and advanced placement classes.

Schools that show blacks and Latinos under-enrolled in such curricula, to an undefined "statistically significant degree," could open themselves up to investigation and lawsuits by the department's Civil Rights Office.

Count on a flood of private lawsuits to piggyback federal discrimination claims, as civil-rights lawyers use the new federal discipline data in their legal strategies against the supposedly racist US school system.

Even if no one has complained about discrimination, even if there is no other evidence of racism, the numbers themselves will "prove" that things are unfair.

Such databases have never before existed. Obama is presiding over the largest consolidation of personal data in US history. He is creating a diversity police state where government race cops and civil-rights lawyers will micromanage demographic outcomes in virtually every aspect of society.

The first black president, quite brilliantly, has built a quasi-reparations infrastructure perpetually fed by racial data that will outlast his administration.

 "We're Training ISIL": White House Website Corrects Barry Speech "Blooper" tag:12160.info,2015-07-07:2649739:Topic:1573579 2015-07-07T22:20:27.920Z Out da basket& DeplorablyPistOff http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d

The White House.gov website has corrected an embarrassing mistake made by Barry Sotero during his press briefing yesterday about the Islamic State when the President said that U.S. forces were "training ISIL."

During his speech, Barry uttered the line, "with the additional steps I ordered last month, we're speeding up training of ISIL forces."

The White House.gov transcript left in the original quote, but placed the word 'Iraqi' in brackets after the word ISIL, correcting Barry's mistake.

This is by no means the first time that the White House has edited transcripts of Barry's speeches to put the president in a better light or cover up for his mistakes.

Last October, the White House completely scrubbed a reference Barry made to unpaid pills being stacked up at his home in Chicago, replacing it with the quote, "there's still junk on my desk, including some — newspapers and all kinds of stuff."

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest later dubiously claimed that the line about Barry's bills was left out because the recording equipment malfunctioned.

The White House again edited Barry's remarks in March when he mistakenly stated, "the bond between the United States and America is unbreakable."

When the Bush administration caught flak for amending transcripts, they immediately switched to providing the president's remarks verbatim, which was not an easy decision considering George W. Bush's notorious"Bushisms".

However, the Barry White House seems happy to continue amending history instead of providing an accurate record of what the president actually said.

 Obama's Unconstitutional Schemes to Nationalize Police tag:12160.info,2015-07-01:2649739:Topic:1571971 2015-07-01T01:00:01.638Z Out da basket& DeplorablyPistOff http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d
Efforts to nationalize state and local police forces across America go back decades, but the Obama administration has accelerated that push and is now openly working to turn your local cops into extensions of federal power. In addition to being unconstitutional, this is an absolutely terrible idea for a number of reasons.

Efforts to nationalize state and local police forces across America go back decades, but the Obama administration has accelerated that push and is now openly working to turn your local cops into extensions of federal power. In addition to being unconstitutional, this is an absolutely terrible idea for a number of reasons.

First, let's talk about Obama's scheming on this front. Before openly complaining about the militarization of police, Obama was militarizing American police departments at an unprecedented rate. At the same time he was attacking the rights of Americans with slogans like "weapons of war don't belong on our streets," he was flooding our streets with actual weapons of war — tanks, armored personnel carriers, grenade launchers, and more to local police.

After the unrest in Ferguson, much of which was fueled by Obama ally and financier George Soros and his billions according to an in-depth investigation by the Washington Times, Obama started complaining about the very militarization his administration was engaged in. Using an executive order, Obama then created what he called the "Task Force on 21st Century Policing" to "study" the issue. What do you think his task force said? Surprise! We need to nationalize the police.

Of course, they didn't use the word nationalize or federalize, probably because Americans would have quite properly recoiled in horror. Instead, his committee claimed we need federal "standards" for police. During the Ferguson fiasco, UN boss Ban Ki Moon even demanded that the city police obey what he termed "international standards."

Just like administration's nationalizing of education with Common Core was imposed by federal bribes to our states, the taskforce proposed bribing our local police departments with "grants" if they would submit to Obama's national standards. Critics ridiculed the plan to create ObamaCops as "Common Core for police," but this is no joking matter.

In March of 2015, the Obama administration announced that it had chosen six "pilot cities" to test out some of the nationalization scheming. The radical plan was dubbed the "National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice." In a nut shell, it is using U.S. taxpayer dollars to deploy so-called "experts" and "researchers" charged with training officers to act in a manner that the Obama administration deems just — in essence doing the bidding of the Obama administration. Officially, the Justice Department is helping local officials to "fight crime," too.

The first cities being targeted are Birmingham, Alabama; Fort Worth, Texas; Gary, Indiana; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Stockton, California. But they're not planning to stop there, you can be sure of that.

In May, Obama approved another one of his taskforce's recommendations, and pretended to "ban" handouts of military gear from the feds to our local police. This was blatant deception though. What he really did was say that local and state police will only get certain military equipment if they agree to federal policing standards.

The riots in Baltimore only poured fuel on the fire, with Obama's close allies like race-monger Al Sharpton demanding that the Justice Department just nationalize all police.

But nationalizing the police is a terrible idea — and history shows it is extraordinarily dangerous. First of all, if local communities are having trouble keeping their police departments in line, which is what Obama is arguing, how is transferring that control to D.C., which more than two thirds of Americans in polls say is out of control and a threat to liberty, going to remedy that? It won't — it will only make real and imagined problems much worse.

Beyond that, though, is the danger of centralizing power. When you think of national police forces, what do you think of? If you're like most people, the Soviet KGB, the National Socialist SS, or the East German Stasi probably come to mind. If power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, what do you think will happen when D.C. has absolute power over your local police department? Nothing good, that's for sure.

If we want to maintain our freedoms, we need to support our local police and keep them independent. The alternative — so-called ObamaCops patrolling our streets following dictates from D.C. — will almost certainly lead to disaster.

Get involved in your local area, and make sure your state and local government do not accept bribes from the Obama administration to surrender your community's ability to govern itself and run its own police department.

 Usurping Impostor has issued 19 secret directives tag:12160.info,2015-06-25:2649739:Topic:1570299 2015-06-25T16:57:29.807Z Out da basket& DeplorablyPistOff http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d

A one-digit correction to President Obama's directive on hostage policy Wednesday had the effect of disclosing the existence of a previously unknown — and still-secret — Obama order on national security.

The hostage policy was originally released Wednesday as a presidential policy directive numbered PPD-29. When the White House corrected that number to PPD-30, it meant Obama had issued a secret directive as PPD-29 sometime in the past 17 months.

Obama signed PPD-28, an order on electronic eavesdropping in the wake of revelations by Edward Snowden, in January 2014.

So what is PPD-29? No one's talking. A spokesman for the National Security Council declined to comment of the existence of classified PPDs Wednesday.

"The only reason we know about it is the sequential numbering of the directives, and realizing they skipped a few," said Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, which tracks the directives.

PPD-29 isn't the first to be tacitly acknowledged only by a missing number. Of the 30 PPDs issued by Obama, 19 have not been released. And for 11 of those, the White House has not disclosed even the subject of the order.

"It's not only the public that doesn't have copies. It's also Congress that doesn't have copies," Aftergood said. "It's a domain of largely unchecked presidential authority. It doesn't mean it's bad, but it's lacking in independent oversight."

But they have the same legal force as an executive order, forming a body of largely secret law, said Harold Relyea, a political scientist who advised Congress on national security directives before retiring from the Congressional Research Service.

"The difference is that while executive orders are public by law — they must be published in theFederal Register to be effective —- PPDs are not," he said. "It is a kind of secret law. People have to obey it. But it's a directive that can allocate money, direct people or take a course of action."

What Obama calls PPDs have gone by different names by different presidents back to the Truman Administration. President George W. Bush called them National Security Presidential Directives (NPSDs). President Clinton called them Presidential Decision Directives (PDDs). President Nixon called them National Security Decision Memoranda.

Whatever they're called, Obama has been less prolific than his predecessors. George W. Bush issued 66 such orders, plus 25 more Homeland Security Presidential Directives. President Reagan issued at least 325.

Some, going back as far as the Lyndon Johnson administration, remain classified. They can involve subjects including the use of nuclear weapons, ballistic missile defenses, space policy, cybersecurity and even continuity plans for the federal government in the case of a large-scale disaster.

The secrecy makes it difficult to know entirely what changes Obama has made in the hostage policy. The directive issued Wednesday revoked a prior directive by President George W. Bush in 2002. But that directive, known as NSPD-12, remains secret.

"You would think that if there's a new policy it would be a simple matter to explain what the old policy was," Aftergood said.

And even though Obama released his directive, it incorporates a classified annex with additional instructions to executive branch agencies.

 FBI: Obama's Trusted Advisor Jarrett Related to Communists tag:12160.info,2015-06-23:2649739:Topic:1570021 2015-06-23T21:22:57.941Z Out da basket& DeplorablyPistOff http://12160.info/profile/H0llyw00d

 President Obama's senior advisor Valerie Jarrett is related to hardcore communists who were investigated by the government, according to the FBI.

Jarrett's father, geneticist Dr. James Bowman, had extensive ties to communist groups and was even in contact with a Soviet agent during the Cold War.

"Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students," Judicial Watch reported, which obtained FBI files on Jarrett's family. "According to Bowman's government file the Association of Internes and Medical Students is an organization that 'has long been a faithful follower of the Communist Party line' and engages in un-American activities."

"Bowman was born in Washington D.C. and had deep ties to Chicago, Ill., where he often collaborated with fellow communists."

Interestingly, those communists later influenced Obama early in his career as a community organizer in Chicago.

"Jarrett's father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, was also another big-time Chicago communist, according to separate FBI files obtained by Judicial Watch as part of a probe into the Jarrett family's communist ties," Judicial Watch continued. "For a period of time Vernon Jarrett appeared on the FBI's Security Index and was considered a potential Communist saboteur who was to be arrested in the event of a conflict with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)."

"His FBI file reveals that he was assigned to write propaganda for a Communist Party front group in Chicago that would 'disseminate the Communist Party line among…the middle class.'"

Given Obama's ties to Marxist ideology which was cultivated in Chicago, it's no surprise then why Chicago lawyer and native Valerie Jarrett is the president's highly trusted confidant.

"Jarrett and her family also had strong ties to Frank Marshal Davis, a big Obama mentor and Communist Party member with an extensive FBI file," Judicial Watch added.

No boxer could have beat Mike Tyson on the 22nd of November, 1986
On that night Mike Tyson was the best fighter to ever step into the ring, nobody could have beat him; he had it all: power, speed, determination, heart, aggression, everything.
In my view it is sad to see a lot of so-called boxing fans pretend to know Tyson was just a bully or a bum and they say he never beat a good fighter.
There might have been boxers with a better resume, a better record, but there is no one who could have been able to defeat a prime Tyson.

Wat night was that? Im guessing its either the Spinks fight or Berbick.
Anyway, IMO, its kinda ridiculous to say any fighter is unbeatable based on one performance aginst one fighter. Maybe he looked absolutly great, and destroyed a highly rated fighter, but it was only one fight.
If Tyson met anuyone else, it would have been a different fight, with maybe a different outcome.
To say on that ONE night he was the best fighter to ever step in the ring is a very farfetched statement.

Some fighters to think about:
1.-The Jack Johnson who fought Tommy Burns.
2.-The Joe Louis who fought Schmeling in 1938.
3.-The Rocky Marciano who took the title from Walcott.
4.-The Max Baer who beat Schmeling.
5.-The Jack Johnson who fought Jeffries.
6.-The Muhammad Ali who fought Williams in 1966.
7.-The Joe Frazier who fought Ali in 1971.
8.-The George Foreman who fought Frazier in 1973.
9.-The Muhammad Ali who fougth Foreman in 1974.
10.-The Larry Holmes who fought Ken Norton in 1978.
11.-The Larry Holmes who fought Gerry Cooney in 1982.
12.-The Lennox Lewis who fought Andrew Golota.
These are just some examples of fighters I believe could have beaten the Mike Tyson of the Berbick fight.

Managing files with the Krusader twin-panel file manager
The user-friendly Krusader brings the time-honored twin-panel file manager format to the Linux desktop and offers easy shortcuts for keyboard users.
Krusader is a graphical file manager based on the twin-panel paradigm. The Krusader file manager was created early in 2000 by two enthusiastic programmers who wanted a graphical twin-panel file manager for the KDE environment and couldn't find one.
The concept of a twin-panel file managers (which is also called an orthodox file manager) is not a new concept. The first twin-panel file managers emerged back in the mid 80s, with the now legendary Norton Commander, which was an inspiration for many text and graphical file managers. Among the first graphical versions that followed was the also legendary Windows Commander, which is now known as Total Commander for MS Windows.
