Official: Treasury knew of IRS inquiry in '12
WASHINGTON The Treasury Departments inspector general told senior Treasury officials in June 2012 he was investigating allegations that the Internal Revenue Service had targeted conservative groups, disclosing for the first time on Friday that Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presidential campaign year.
At the first congressional hearing into the IRS scandal, J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, told members of the House Ways and Means Committee that he informed the Treasurys general counsel of his investigation June 4 and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin shortly thereafter. The information came as part of a routine briefing of the investigations that the inspector general would be conducting in the coming year, and he did not tell the officials of his conclusions that the targeting had been improper, he said.
Still, Georges testimony will most likely fuel efforts by congressional Republicans to show that Obama administration officials knew of efforts to single out conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for additional scrutiny but did not reveal that knowledge during President Barack Obamas re-election campaign.
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who joined the Republican ticket as the vice presidential candidate later in the year, said, That raises a big question.
Steven T. Miller, the acting IRS commissioner who has resigned, called the agencys actions obnoxious but told the House Ways and Means Committee they were not motivated by partisanship. In testy exchanges, he said he had not misled Congress, even though he did not divulge the targeting efforts of a Cincinnati unit examining 70,000 applications for tax exemption.
He called the groups centralization of applications from groups with names that included the words tea party or patriots simply foolish mistakes that were made by people trying to be more efficient in their workload selection.
With two additional hearings already scheduled for next week, it is clear the focus of congressional inquiries will extend well beyond the selection of conservative groups for special scrutiny of their tax-exemption applications.
Camp pressed Miller and George on the releasing of tax information on Koch Industries, the giant family business of conservative benefactors Charles and David Koch, by a former White House economist, Austan Goolsbee. He also hit on the publication of donor lists for the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex unions, and the release of confidential applications for tax-exempt status to the investigative reporting outfit Pro Publica.
The incidents of releases of confidential tax information were referred to the inspector general for investigation but were found to be inadvertent, the witnesses said.
When Republicans asked Miller whether the targeting of conservative groups was divulged to Obama administration officials outside the IRS, Miller said that would be a violation of law.
I would be shocked if that occurred, he said.
Miller did concede that the IRS apology for targeting was prompted by a question planted by the agency May 10 at an American Bar Association meeting. At that meeting, Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS division overseeing tax-exempt organizations, was asked about an inquiry of the targeting issue, eliciting an apology that quickly leaked out of the closed-door session. The IRS then scrambled to issue a formal release on the issue.
Miller divulged that the exchange was not an impromptu apology but a planned exchange between Lerner and Celia Roady, a tax attorney at the Washington law firm Morgan Lewis. That revelation only underscored the ham-handed way the scandal has burst into view.
Obama has tried to get on top of the scandal, condemning the program, vowing changes and requesting Millers resignation. But many Republicans have greeted each of these moves scornfully. Miller, as an acting IRS chief, was likely to step down in June anyway, unless nominated for the permanent position.
According to the inspector generals report, Miller was aware of the political targeting in March 2012, sending a team from IRS headquarters in Washington to discuss it with the programs leaders in Cincinnati. Yet a month later, Miller, then the deputy IRS commissioner for enforcement, wrote a letter to Republican senators saying there was no targeting of conservative groups.
The hearings will continue next week. On Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee will hold its hearing, and its Democratic chairman, Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, hopes to question Douglas Shulman, a Bush administration appointee who was IRS commissioner during most of the targeting program.MORE IN Wire NewsMADISON, Wis.

Goals and purpose are not synonymous. Goals are more specific, finite accomplishments that serve your ultimate purpose. For example, one of your broader life purposes might be to empower others to take better care of the environment. A goal that will help you honor this purpose could be as ambitious as organizing a neighborhood campaign to clean up the local park, or as simple as teaching your daughter to turn the light off when she leaves the room.
It is much easier to achieve your goals if they are inherently rewarding, rather than money-driven or based upon others' expectations. Sonja Lyubomirsky says that authentic goals will satisfy your needs and deliver "powerful emotional benefits," including a sense of accomplishment, pride, and happiness.
Authentic goals are also:
Reflect upon your calling. What are some authentic goals you could accomplish in the next year that will help fulfill your purpose? The next five years? Your whole lifetime? Write them down using specific details and timelines.

Over the past few years, a new breed of fast-casual pizza restaurant has emerged with plans for world — or at least national — domination. These pizza concepts tend to use Chipotle Mexican Grill as their model: Guests can walk the service line and build their pizza from gourmet ingredients, typically for one price with unlimited toppings. The pizzas are then cooked in less than six minutes — some say less than three — and the result is often an individualized ...

It's hard for me to picture Mark Teixeira signing with another team.
Teixeira has been rumored to have negotiated with the Angels, Orioles, Red Sox, Nationals and possibly the Yankees.
Teixeira was sent to the Angels this past July and hit .353 with them and drastically improved their lineup. He was also one of their best players in the postseason.
Here is why the Angels are by far the most likely to sign him.

Junior League of San Antonio & The Metropolitan Opera - In Perfect Harmony!
The Junior League of San Antonio, Inc. (JLSA) and the Metropolitan Opera have a long and storied partnership beginning with the League's beloved Mrs. Edgar Tobin in 1959. Mag Tobin, a lifelong member of JLSA, served on the advisory and managing board of the Metropolitan Opera and was a founding member of the Metropolitan Opera National Council. Mrs. Tobin was successful in bringing the first Southwest Region Auditions to San Antonio and because of her involvement with JLSA, Mrs. Tobin knew that the organization's trained volunteers would be perfect to staff the auditions.
JLSA has now produced 53 District and Region Auditions making the MONC Southwest Region auditions the League's longest continuous community placement!
JLSA is the only Junior League involved in this national cultural event. Members of the Met Opera committee commit to a six-year placement, holding each position on the committee, which has maintained successful auditions throughout all these years. For those who are interested in joining the Met Opera committee, the first step is to volunteer for the weekend of the auditions. JLSA volunteers are essential and have throughout the MONC Southwest region auditions history helped over 2,000 singers make their operatic dreams come true. Non-placed volunteers act as hostesses and production assistants while providing a warm, inviting environment for all participants. Over the years, San Antonio has become a favorite audition venue for judges and auditioners, thanks to the efforts of JLSA volunteers. Not only does the JLSA provide volunteers for the Auditions, but we are also the sole underwriter for all the prizes given to the District Award winners.
These auditions have made a major impact on opera talent, and winners from the Southwest Region are frequently National winners. Even those singers who do not proceed to the New York auditions are heard by other opera companies and prospective employers. Many of these have enjoyed exciting opportunities that developed through this exposure.
Join us on January 15, 2012, for the 53rd annual MONC Southwest Region auditions as JLSA and the Met Opera committee keeps the tradition alive and provides an afternoon of inspiring stories, heart-stopping drama, and genuine Texas hospitality!

Melo maybe a bigger star than Amare but he took us on his back and carried us for 4 months and said the "Knicks are back" and so far he's delivered. We may have Melo but lets not forget whose team this is(for how much longer I don't know) and who made us relevant again. We owe alot to Amare.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Before STAT even signed with us he said he was bringing Melo to NY. Melo may become the popular Knick among the NBA but among Knick Knation, STAT will always be more appreciated.
I dont really like the who's team it is thing. Melo is the best player on this team, no doubt. But STAT is the heart and soul of this organization. Billups though command respect from STAT and Melo. I like that balance. Its a very good checks and banlances system of leadership.
How could I forget STAT?
Last time we've played Indiana with him in the lineup, Tyler phucking Hansbrough looked like an All Star, yesterday (with no Amar'e) - he looked like the useless overrated guy he (Hansbrough) really is.
Looks like STAT has found his own unique way to stay fresh in our minds lol
ps: Just some irony guys. I'm not hating on STAT, it's just a funny way of looking at things. The Hansbrough comparison came to my mind during the game. He did nothing this time. And he killed us twice, playing against STAT.
That's why he can become forgettable. Start playing halfway decent defense then we can talk.

I would have taken a picture of Bully.
You have not lived unless you've fed 16 horny bulls. Twice a day. By hand.
Yeah, you heard me.
They all come a'runnin'— all, let me see… What's 2500 lbs. times 16? Better get out my calculator– all 40,000 lbs. of them.
It's not that they want to kill you, it's that they want the food and they don't really see you at all. Except for Bully, who was hand-raised, who pushes you around with his huge head (no horns, thank god) until you pet him. He likes his forehead scratched first and then his butt. He's very forward, has no concept of personal space. Bully has a best friend who'll give you a sniff and let you give him a little pat– a bull with a sweet expression, but I can't remember his name. I was too busy watching my back to manage a formal introduction.
The night I arrived in Montana, after having been awake for 24 hours straight, taken two flights, done all the grocery shopping for a week and driven two hours to the ranch, my daughter said, "Mom, you gotta feed the bulls. I can't do it."
And I'm like… "Feed the bulls??? Are you fuckin' nuts?"
And she's like… "It's okay, they won't hurt you. Just lay out the hay in a line so they each get their own pile."
The first time I did it, I was like duck and cover. Throw the hay and run. By the second day I was already yelling at the bulls to back off. However, if a 2500 lb. bull wants to run you over, he will.
You should have been there for the bull fights the day they were, ahem, tested. Sixteen randy bulls in a small corral waiting for an electrode up the ass. They knocked down fences, tossed big old wooden poles across the corral, nearly killed the in-laws. The smartest thing you can do is get the hell out of the way. My heart was pounding, I was terrified I'd have to crawl into the corral, braving those heavy hooves and heaving bodies to rescue my daughter's father-in-law. And then I realized I'd just have to let him get stomped.
You'll be happy to know all the bulls are fertile. And after the testing they got turned out with the cows. So everybody was in good spirits.
My son-in-law is doing better. The first few days were pretty awful. I called today to check on him because I knew he'd be home alone as my daughter and her father-in-law went to help out at a neighbor's branding. Guess what he was doing– mowing the lawn on a riding mower. Wearing his sling with his arm and shoulder full of metal. You can't keep a cowboy down.
Anyway, I'm home. I'm pretty disoriented from lack of sleep and travel. However maybe tomorrow I'll tell you why I love Montana and ranch life so much. Like I said, if I'd actually had a brain while I was up there I'd have taken oodles of pictures but my brain was on hold.
Here's a generic photo of an Angus bull:
Yeah, 16 of 'em. Sheesh!

iOS apps for lawyers abound, whether for case management, billing, or trial preparation. This page has every legal app for iOS that we could find.
Typing fast is a critical skill for lawyers, and there is no reason to let an iPad's touchscreen keyboard slow you down (much).
Insight Notes aims to make using your iPad a bit more secure by locally encrypting your notes and allowing you to back them up to a secure, encrypted server.
From preparation to presentation, the benefits of using an iPad and Apple TV for trial presentation are plenty. Here's how to do it.
If you are handling depositions, you should get TranscriptPad. (And by the way, if you are trying cases without TrialPad, it just may be malpractice.)
A day afer announcing its big-deal partnership with Dropbox, Microsoft has announced that you can edit and store Office documents in the cloud, for free. Mostly.
Starting with iOS 8, according to Apple's newly-updated privacy statement your photos, messages and attachments, email, contacts, call history, iTunes content, notes, and reminders are "placed under the protection of your passcode."
Rocket Matter just released its first iPad app, and it looks pretty good.
The Brydge+ with Speakers is a full-size, all-aluminum Bluetooth keyboard that basically turns your iPad into a small laptop.
TrialPad is an outstanding addition to anyone's trial arsenal. It simply and elegantly duplicates the most-used trial presentation features at far less cost than the competition.
Based on this study, at least, there is no question how lawyers should be taking notes: by hand.
Most posts about iOS apps are about helping you lifehack your way to work success: to-do lists, cloud storage, timekeeping, etc. But all work and no play makes lawyers dull, and your family and friends have likely tired of you explaining how Remember the Milk changed your life.

Archive for the 'social media' tag
there are some things social media can't do
Social media's great. I'm on Twitter and Facebook nearly everyday (and LinkedIn once in a while). It's how I stay current with people, organizations and issues in my networks and fields of interest. I can instantly connect with lots of folks and keep my finger on the pulse for things I need to do my job effectively…or just kill time.
You don't have to look much further than success of Facebook or Instragram selling for $1bn to know that tons of people take this stuff seriously. Last year 73% of Fortune 500 companies were active on social media and 88% of nonprofits have experimented with social media. And a McKinsey & Co report found that there is up to $1.3 trillion in untapped value from improved productivity using social media. Impressive stuff.
But I don't just want to add to the existing heaps of others praising the virtues of social media. Rather, I want to highlight some of the "traditional" forms of communication that are likely to be essential to nonprofits and businesses forever.
Face-to-face contact
The very definitional of "social", interacting with people face-to-face is what helps to forge lasting relationships – both personally and in business. Part of building connections and trust with people is providing them with the cues and authenticity that can only come from body language and tone of voice. There's that famous research on the effectiveness of a speaker that found the impact of a presentation is 55% body language, 38% tone of voice and only 7% the words you say. So, yes, face-to-face contact is pretty important. In the nonprofit world, think about how many six or seven figure gifts are secured without in-person contact. Few to none.
Meaningful Contact
Encompassing face-to-face contact, but also other forms of communication, like phone, handwritten notes, personalized emails, etc, meaningful contact shows a level of care and consideration that is pretty hard to achieve in social media. Tweeting to someone is nice and all, but it's not personal. It's publicly viewable by literally everyone. Ditto other social networks. And direct messages on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. are really just another form of email. Social media is definitely a great added value piece on top of other forms of communication (i.e. multichannel comms), but it would be very hard to build real, meaningful connections with donors and other stakeholders through social media alone. Facebook has shown that by its abismal track record as a fundraising platform.
In Sum
What I hope I've got across here is that social media changes everything and changes nothing. It has revolutionized how we consume and disseminate information and connect to others, but still takes a backseat to personal contact when it comes to building meaningful relationships.
Kony 2012 – what happened?
I was watching the Daily Show the other day and Jon Stewart made some passing reference to the Kony 2012 viral video and the campaign by Invisible Children to capture and bring to trial Joseph Kony in 2012. The video was the fastest growing viral video of all time and managed to secure millions of views, supporters and money from donations. I even blogged about it, taking a fairly on-the-fence position at the time. So I wondered: what ever happen to Kony and the campaign?
The goal failed. Kony was never captured.
When I was looking into what exactly happened with Kony 2012 I came across this excellent article by Manuel Barcia, Deputy Director at the Institute for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies at the University of Leeds. Barcia argues a number of points that could have led to this campaign's failure: reinforcing negative stereotypes about Africa and black people, bad PR situations (i.e. one of the co-founders going berserk in public), naiveté about the political situation and power structures in Eastern Africa, etc. In fact, that last point about not comprehending or being prepared for the political complexity in the countries where the LRA operate is highlighted in Invisible Children's annual report on Kony 2012 (under the section "Why hasn't Kony been caught?"). But this post mordem on the campaign underscores a lack of thorough analysis for what they were up against.
This lack of due diligence brings up another interesting point made in Barcia's article, and also powerfully conveyed in Teju Cole's article in the Atlantic, "The White Saviour Industrial Complex". Both Barcia and Cole argue that Kony 2012 is reinforcing the subtext that "black men and women can only be redeemed by the superior intellectual and humane capabilities of the white man" (Barcia). And that Kony failed to address "the idea that those who are being helped [Ugandans] ought to be consulted over the matters that concern them [foreigners getting involved in their lives and politics]".
While I agree, along with Barcia and Cole, that Kony 2012 failed in many ways, I do think it succeeded in some respects as well. For one, I think that a previously unknown non-profit generating this must attention, earned media coverage from around the world, activism and financial support from a social media video is unprecedented and incredibly impressive. Non-profits constantly struggle to get public attention for their causes, so Kony 2012 making headlines globally in traditional and new media is very rare. And doing it all from an inexpensive video is even rarer.
The second success, which is more of a silver lining lesson for the NGO community in general, is that bold, ambitious experiments are necessary in order to drive innovation and new approaches for tackling social, political and environmental issues. Many nonprofits lack the resources, backing or (frankly) balls to risk failure on experimental campaigns/approaches.
So, yes, Kony 2012 failed in its primary goal, but it would be wrong to characterize the entire campaign as "a failure".
Social Media for Social Good [Infographic]
Today's post is a great guest article, and amazing infographic, by Logan Harper from UNC. Here it is:
Social media—through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content—is a powerful and accessible tool. With free online tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, governments, nonprofits, corporations, and individuals all have the ability to communicate their messages and participate in conversations with a global audience. Social media allows nonprofits and groups promoting social causes, even those with limited budgets, the opportunity to magnify their voices. In our hyper-connected world, individuals have the tools to effect change, raise millions of dollars, find volunteers, and make a global impact.
In our new infographic, Social Media for Social Good, we profile several successful grassroots and nonprofit campaigns, explain tactics that increase the impact of a message, and explore emerging trends in charitable giving and volunteering. Highlights include:
Making a Global Impact
- The day following the Haiti earthquake of 2010, CNN's user-generated iReport had 1.4 million page views.
- Twestival, a global offline event supporting various nonprofits, raised $1.75 million in 45 countries.
Giving Back
- One in five adults in the U.S. has donated to a nonprofit online.
- TweetDrive 2011 harnessed the power of Twitter to organize 38 in-person events in which people donated more than 4,200 toys.
To learn more about the who, how, and why of Social Media for Social Good, take a look below at our infographic.
how to cultivate a social and connected organization [infographic]
Okay, this infographic is called "The Social Enterprise" but it's not about social enterprises. Huh? Well, it's about organizations using social media, rather than social enterprises in the "social good" sense. But it's still relevant to non-profits and, well, pretty much any organization really. For charities and non-profits in particular, sharing and collaborating with others is a powerful tool – what works well?; what problems are others encountering?; etc. Connecting with thought leaders is also important, as is keeping your finger on the pulse for events and other opportunities to meet with others face-to-face. Social media can keep charities current and ahead of the curve so they have a competitive advantage in their fields. So here's the infographic:
get others to do your charity's work for you
How can charities grow their number of supporters and advocates with a small budget and limited number of staff? Get others to do it for them. This is the idea behind using volunteers or ambassadors to spread the messages and get others on board. Non-profits can amplify their reach and support by educating and empowering their closest allies. But how?
Identify influencers
Take a look at your supporters to identify those who have the most influence into other networks (business, wealthy individuals, schools, general public, etc). These influencers might be donors, board members, volunteers, social media contacts, or even staff. Draw up a list of those that can help you reach new people/goals.
Define an objective
What are you asking your ambassadors and community to do? Encourage others to donate? Raise awareness? Ensure that people understand what the goal is for the work that they will be doing for you.
Educate and support
Okay, it's well and good that you have your influencers identified and empowered with a goal, but they also need to uphold the integrity of your work and brand. That means having key messages, materials, logos, etc. I've seen lots of bad homemade materials because charities have neglected to provide their volunteers with the tools needed to do the job. This can taint the brand and have negative consequences. This is easily preventable with a kit for ambassadors.
Make use of social media
Social media tools like Twitter and Facebook can be powerful mechanisms for empowering others to spread your charity's messages with ease. Those that follow or like you on social media participate in a common interest that is your non-profit's work. So encourage them to be promoters of your charity.
Using volunteers to spread your message and get others on board is an effective way of maximizing your charity's budget and resources.
how are the biggest nonprofits using social media? [infographic]
Below is an interesting infographic from Craig Newmark, the founder of craigslist. He set out to answer questions like 'Do the highest earning nonprofits use social media the most effectively?' and 'How are people responding and interacting?' The results of questions like these were put into an infographic.
As Craig states in his own commentary on this data, quality is better than quantity – both in terms of audience and budget. For example, YMCA of America has the highest income but one of the lowest number of Twitter followers, while PBS, which is near the bottom of the list in income, is putting up some of the highest numbers for followers and engagement.
So, while nearly every large charity is active on one or more social media channels, simply 'being there' is not enough. Social media is a two way conversation with audiences, and the biggest nonprofits aren't necessarily the best at engaging stakeholders.
how charities are going viral with their fundraising
According to Mashable, as of February 2011 YouTube had 490 million unique users worldwide per month, who racked up an estimated 92 billion page views per month.
These astounding reach figures, are why many more charities are turning to ad and creative agencies, paying them to come up with fresh and innovative videos in the hopes that the videos will go viral in an effort to actively promote the charity's message amongst millions of You Tube users. In previous blog posts, we've had a look at how funny television commercials and creative photographic campaigns can get you more donations.
Here is a great example of a charity campaign You Tube video that has racked up about 2 million views. The video is for the UK charity effort Sport Relief 2010 .
6 easy and cost efficient ways to market your charity
Smaller charities may not have a very large communications/marketing budget. There are however some simple, cost efficient ways that even the smallest charities can effectively 'sell' their charity to the public.
1. Keep in contact with the media
Especially regional press and trade magazines whose reader base may be likely donors. Sending out regular press releases and advance stories keeps your charity and cause on the media's radar. Don't neglect local newspapers and local popular bloggers just because they don't have the circulation of a national news outlet. If you can tie in a local angle into your nonprofit's programs of fundraising events, make sure to send an advance story release. Follow-up with a phone call to establish a more personal relationship with the writers. Building in regional elements into your fundraising campaigns can make them an easier sell to local or regional media.
2. Don't underestimate the power of social networking
This is the best chance for smaller charities without much of a budget to level the playing field with larger charities with a big budget. Social media doesn't take a lot of money but it does require commitment. Build up your twitter and/or facebook followers over the course of the year so when you are ready to launch a campaign or a fundraising drive you already have a set group of contacts. Also, make sure you dedicate the necessary time to regularly update your twitter account and/or blog feeds.
3. Project visits
For potential high net worth donors, project visits are a great way for them to see the actual work your charity is doing on the ground (see our previous post about project visits here). They are also a good opportunity to invite local journalists along. Just make sure you actually have something positive and professional to show them and make sure the people they meet and might interview on the visit have been briefed on the key messages you want to get across.
4. Network!
Use social opportunities to meet new people who may be interested in your charity and its cause and get your organization's name out there. You can't successfully market your charity by just sitting at your desk. Try and form connections with other organizations, businesses, universities or networking groups. Also, interact with other people in the charity sector. Get ideas of what other people may be doing and learn what has or hasn't worked for them.
5. Consistent messaging
In any marketing material you produce, focus on your main messages and keep them consistent. Use case studies to highlight your achievements, and if you can, emphasize to potential donors that their money is going towards a cause and not just on administration running costs.
6. Thank your supporters!
A thank you note can go a long way to show your appreciation. Make sure that thank you notes for high level funders are appropriately signed by senior level management in your organization.

I hate some of the idiotd on here who keep saying there's no reason for us to fight.
There are places in this world where men are dragged out of their homes and told to rape their daughters and join those forcing them to do so or them and their whole family will be killed. If me and the planes I fix can help keep that from happening, it's damn worth it.
Whether you're American, British, whatever. ******* props to you man.

I don't understand the logic behind the idea that a lot of people seem to have that because you are fighting in a war, or because your father fought in a war, somehow that means that that war isn't a gigantic waste of lives and time.

What do the Indians do? Tons of the come from poverty, and they still leave their home to go to school and work their asses off.

yes of course they can benefit themselves.you need to start at the source.these people who are going to the US like the mexicans, KNOW that the US has better quality of life.They know this because of media (TV,radio,internet) or through word of mouth, influences.if they lived in the middle of the desert and never ever saw anyone apart from their mum and dad and their mum and dad never saw anyone else and so on and so on through all the generations so there was absolutly no outside influence,and they never saw a tv or map or any demonstration of emerging technology that was more advanced than a spear,then these people would never know any ANY diffrent.they wouldent know the US existed let alone that it would present a better quality of life.Now introduce a man from the US to these people with a laptop and a mcdonalds and tells them about the US.The desert people see this and now know that there is some place better than the desert.they have been influenced and made a choice to move to the states.I dont mean to sound patronising but does this make sense mate

If anyone had any of those questions, would you really be qualified to answer? Soldiers just follow orders, that's their job.
You could tell us about your experiences at the heart of the conflict, but I'm sure you could only speculate about its brain.

Our primary task is to train their security forces so they can deal with the taliban without the aid of western intervention.we are there to babysit,helping build roads and schools and medical aid is tertiary.the reason the taliban are there in the first place is because afghan is an easy place to overthrow,weak goverment,staggeringly corrupt police forces and a nearly non existent army so they can freedom of movemet to train and plan attacks and with close borders to iran and pakistan there is a huge acces to cutting edge weaponry.Just to address the collateral damage that happens,it is a bi product of taliban activity.they surround themselves with children so if we injure or kill one then they can use that as propaganda against us.you would not beleive some of the acts of selflessness some dudes (soldiers) go to save women and children.the key distinction between us and the taliban is that we recognise when we have done something terrible,the taliban take the kill the children first approach.

I understand.but you really need to ask yourself 'do I want to share a planet with an idiology like the taliban,who in the near future will have access to nuclear inter continental ballistic missiles' do you want to risk it?

I absolutely agree. If you guys weren't trying to do some good with it, it would be a much worse place, even if you just left after taking out the Taliban. Props trying to make something out of narco-state, bro. It's not easy business by the sounds of it, especially when the people in power are fueled by drug addictions.

We wont take out the taliban,we are keeping them at bay untill the afghan army is in a position to take over.Even if you or anyone else does not agree with it,it is an interesting experience.Its not a good idea to say everyone fighting over there is stupid,because you address the likes of navy seals, SAS, SBS, Delta and i will tell you these people are ******* incredible.they are cutting edge human beings that have done a crippleing amount of training to get to where they are and wether you know it or agree with it or not,they are looking after you.They are keeping that **** over there to stop it spilling over here.The probelm with this ******* world is religion without question

It's not religion, it's the misuse of religion. People act like it gives them some kind of a right to be an asshole. "I don't want my son to be exposed to gay activity, so those two girls can't go to prom together."
Also, I didn't mean to kill everyone involved in the Taliban, I just meant take it out of political power (which the Americans did in 2001).

but educating them would mean teaching them facts about the universe which would conflict with islam,and they wont have that ,and we wont have that because it would mean being hypocritical of our own religions like christianity and judaism.they will not have it mate.they will not,they will fly planes into buildings before they read a book on evolution.

But when they're already defeated, as long as you can get the people to work with you, they will read a book on evolution. Look at what we did with Germany and Japan. It'll just take a lot more effort with place as ****** as Afghanistan.

You dont defeat insurgency,its a slow process of convincing any potential Al qaeda recruits and serving members,maybe everyone in the world, that the second you blow a bus up in london,you sighned a contract that you will never live a normal life.you will have to avoid contact with your closest freinds and family, live in hiding and fear for the remainder of your short life.Certain agencys will begin to track your every move and at some point and you dont know when,no matter where you are,a team of special forces are going to kick in your door and blow your brains out in your bed,or whisk you off to guantanamo bay for the rest of your life.Its about telling the world that it is not worth living your life like that.Japan and germany are diffrent mate,they where already advanced and intelligent,it was a black and white war.Nazism was a facist ideology that was intelligent but governed by an absolute pyschopath

What the **** did you just ******* say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ******* words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ******. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're ******* dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ******* tongue.

Getting intimate with Intimidad at the Denver Film Festival
An image from Intimidad.
The first measure of any non-fiction narrative, whether written or visual, is how close it gets to the real lives of its subjects. As its title suggests, Intimidad, which screened at the Starz FilmCenter last night as part of the Denver Film Festival, seeks a level of depth into the daily experience of a young Mexican couple that viewers can feel as though they've stumbled upon the most heartbreaking and tender of home movies.
Shot over five years by filmmakers David Redmon and Ashley Sabin, the documentary follows 21-year-old Camilo Ramirez and his wife Cecy, who have moved from their isolated village to Reynosa, a large industrial city near the American boarder, with dreams of saving money to buy some land of their own. Both work long hours – Camilo at a factory building fire hydrants, Cecy sewing bras for Victoria's Secret. So they were forced to leave their young daughter back at their village with relatives. After a year, the strain of separation is seriously affecting Cecy.
The problem is the grindingly slow progress toward their goal. Both make a monthly wage of $240. After food, bus fare, rent (they live in a shack with a wobbly tin roof) and money sent home, they can only save $15 per month, making the $7,200 cost of land seem unattainable. With such daunting math it's no wonder why so many risk the illegal trek into the United States for work. Cecy returns home to be with their child and her sick father, while Camilo continues to work fourteen hours a day at the factory.
Clearly, filmmakers Ashley Sabin and David Redmon – who also co-directed last year's hurricane survivor study Kamp Katrina -- chose this topic with broader social issues in mind. But the real subject of this film isn't immigration or even poverty. It's about hope and love. If that sounds simplistic, that's because the longing exchanges between the young couple reveal a love that is simple and amazingly pure.
Though the situation Camilo and Cecy ultimately find themselves in is far below what many audiences might consider hopeful, they end up together. And you can't help but feel ecstatic for them. -- Jared Jacang Maher

I walked the course & was warm, but not too hot. A few days later, I went to a football game. I was sitting the whole time, but was still warm. I'm very pleased with both the top & the bottom. November 17, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by steven888 Save your money. They get the one star for fitting true to size. Other than that they offer very little in the way of wind breaking or added insulation when worn as an additional layer underneath. Even during heavy hiking the difference is barely noticed. Walmart cotton thermals are warmer and you can get them for a third the price of these. About 26$ after tax for one pair of these. March 6, 2015

Brewton Alabama is the county seat of Escambia County, Alabama. At the time of the 2000 census its population was at 5,498.
First established in May of 1861, Brewton Alabama found its beginnings as a train station under the charge of Edmund Troupe Brewton. At this time, the city was known as Newport by the merchant barges traveling over to Pensacola, Florida, via the Murder and Burnt Corn Creeks. Eventually, railroad tracks were built. However, during the Civil War, the train lines were severed, and in the carnage, local lumber mills were damaged or destroyed outright. Despite this, after the war was over, people returned to Brewton to rebuild it. With the improving economy, a school was built, and small businesses took root and grew. By the 1870s, demand for lumber from overseas was a boon for the current economy, and opened doors for a more prosperous one. Timber and lumber operations sprang up to meet the demand, which was ferried by the Conecuh-Escambia waterway and delta, which flows all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico.
While people had been living there for decades, Brewton did not officially become a town until February 13, 1995. It eventually became the county seat. In the ensuing centuries, the county has built a series of courthouses, and Brewton's education system has grown from a single school to one with Jefferson Davis Junior College. According to the 2000 census, the average household size is 2.35 people, while the average family size is at almost three. The median income for households is $34,234, whereas the median income for a family was registered at $43,548. As is typical due to the gender wage gap, male residents' median income was at $37,348, while it was a shocking $20,212 for women. Overall, the per capita income for Brewton was $18,185.
Currently, Brewton's city government includes a mayor and a five-member of city council.
As for Brewton's cultural qualities, it is known as the home of the Alabama Blueberry Festival, which, since 2006, is held at Burnt Corn Creek Park and in the downtown area of Brewton. Before then, it took place on campus at Jefferson Davis Community College.
Another cultural site is the Thomas E. McMillan Museum, which is also located on campus. Founded in 1979 as a way to chart and commemorate life in Brewton and Escambia County at large, it has items ranging from an eons old fossil to an antique popcorn popper that uses the heat from the family hearth. While perhaps the least well-known of Brewton's institutions, this museum is peerless in its region for its historical and archeological artifacts and objects. This regional treasure documents more than Brewton's history, but that of the region in general, which encompasses decades of American conflict and growth. As a resource for local history, you will not do better than the Thomas E. McMillan Museum and its sister facility, the Escambia County Historical Society's Alabama Room. Those with an especial interest in the history of Brewton and the surrounding region may apply to become members of the Escambia County Historical Society, which is dedicated to recognizing and preserving Brewton's heritage.
Despite its tiny size, Brewton Alabama has a list of notable natives, many of whom were distinguished athletes. These include Wayne Frazier, a pro football player who played for the San Diego Chargers, The Houston Oilers, and the Buffalo Bills. Other athletes are WNBA player Deanna Jackson, and football players Cliff Lewis, Kevin Sumlin, and Anthony Redmon. Famous musicians William Lee Golden, of The Oak Ridge Boys, and country singer Hank Lockin also hail from Brewton.

Pickerington High School Central boys basketball players weren't shy about admitting they wanted to play Newark in a Division I district final March 10 at the Fairgrounds Coliseum.
The Wildcats ruined the Tigers' bid at a perfect OCC-Ohio Division season with a 51-35 victory Feb. 7, a game in which Central looked out of kilter and lacked composure much of the night.
Those weren't problems in the district final, as Central pulled away with a 25-11 run spanning the middle quarters to beat Newark 65-49 for the program's first district championship since 2002.
"It ruined our perfect season when we lost to (Cleveland) St. Ignatius (66-65 on Jan. 29), so we wanted to be perfect in the OCC and (Newark) ruined that, so we had to get them back for that today," said Tigers sophomore guard Connor Kern, who scored a game-high 16 points. "I thought it was great to win the OCC and it feels even better to win the district."
Central (22-2) will play Olentangy Liberty in a regional semifinal at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 15, at the Fairgrounds. Third-seeded Liberty won its first district championship earlier March 10, defeating second-seeded Walnut Ridge 58-55 in overtime.
The Tigers' other district championships came in 1959 and 1991.
Caris LeVert had 14 points and Chad Nelson added 11 for Central, which took an early 11-2 lead when Kern converted back-to-back steals into layups. A 9-2 run late in the first half made it 30-21 at halftime, and the Tigers led by as much as 20 late in the third quarter. Central was 21-for-40 shooting (52.5 percent) and held Newark to 15-for-45 (33.3 percent).
"Defense was the big key," Central guard Jae'Sean Tate said. "We worked all week in practice on defense, going over their plays almost the entire practice just to come out and know what they were going to run."
Daniel Logan had 10 points to lead Newark (19-5).
"They present some bad combinations for us because they're so athletic and so skilled at the guard positions and when they spread you out, now you're one-on-one with their post players who are so athletic and big," Wildcats coach Jeff Quackenbush said. "They can make a much deeper run in the tournament. They're going to be really hard to beat."

Graduation day a stepping stone, not the finish line
- Written by NATE SMITH
Student speakers Sunday during commencement exercises at West Liberty-Salem High School downplayed the significance of the ceremony.
Class valedictorian Mollie Etgen told her peers that when they recall their high school years later on, they probably won't remember the gymnasium as the place where their graduation was conducted.
Rather, they'll remember the gym for Friday night basketball games, pep rallies and gym class, "or where we'd cut through if we're running late for class," Mollie said.
Graduation day is often considered one of the biggest days of a person's life, "but it's nowhere near the biggest," she said. "Remember the past, and anticipate the future."
Salutatorian Rose Yoder reminded her fellow graduates that they're hardly the first high school class to ascend into adulthood, but if they follow God's call, they'll realize the plan for their lives.
"We're going to grow up no matter what," she said. "This is not a new concept.
"Wherever God sends you, go and embrace it."
Mollie echoed those sentiments.
"This is an exciting day, but it's not a finish line," she said. "It's a stepping stone.
"Each of us has our own place in this world."
Mollie concluded by thanking the community for its support of the schools.
"We're lucky to live in a community that cares about students' education and dreams," she said.
A moment of silence was observed in memory of J.C. Swartz, who would have been a 2014 graduate, but died in the fall of his seventh-grade year following a lengthy illness.
Senior choral and band members performed.
Officers of the Class of 2014 were Mollie Etgen, president; Abbey Siegenthaler, vice president; Carly Lowry, secretary; and Caty Shoemaker, treasurer.
The class motto: iGraduated.

Dramatically boost your money-magnetising abilities and gain peace of mind with like-minded individuals in just one day with proven, time-tested strategies! *
I know what it is like to be where you are right now. When I first started out in business, I really struggled to sell
anything, and then I experienced a breakthrough which led me within a few years to generate a million pounds of sales each month, month on month!
My passion is to share with you some of the tools that I used to transform my relationship with money. I created the Money Magnet workshop in 2005 and since then it has transformed the lives of many.
So, do come on this life-changing Money Magnet Workshop…
In just one day you will:
I met Marie Claire when she gave a talk to a select group of people & I immediately connected with her. I booked a course of just 4 coaching sessions with her & the results were stunning. I had already been on a path of spirituality & soul learning, so we were able to communicate clearly. One of her methods is to be very direct – be warned, Marie-Claire takes no prisoners! The mirror she held up to me was infused with kindness, compassion & love. She has a lovely warmth about her which put me at ease & made me trust her which is essential when you're sharing deeply personal matters. She's the real deal & I'd recommend her to anyone.
