Skip to comments.Team Obama trying to unring the Obamaphone
Posted on 10/02/2012 12:09:22 PM PDT by dead
Up until the viral video of Obamaphone Lady appeared (Keep Obama in president, you know!), the webpage at obamaphone.net was all about how President Obama was giving all the poor people free phones. As if he was paying the bill, rather than us.
But now that the Obamaphone Lady has been exposing the program so effectively as a vote-buying giveaway to hate-filled societal leeches, the Obamaphone.net page has changed completely.
Guess what?! Obama has nothing to do with it! As you might expect, its Bushs fault, at least partially. The webpage that previously bragged about how much Obama was doing for the leeches, now says it was a program under Bush, that was started under Clinton in accordance with a law passed by FDR after an agreement with the phone companies was reached by Woodrow Wilson. Im not making that up, see for yourself. The new Obamaphone.net webpage was slapped together in the last few days, obviously without an editor in sight. It reads like a Chinese take-out menu for very happy family to you of good health for light!
Many people think that Obama is giving free cellphones to the poor in order to redistribute the wealth of rich people. Since then two groups are mudslinging at each other... But the Obama part is not true as Obama didnt initiate this program. Its on the run since the administration of Reagan It started back in 2008 when Trafcone started their service under this program at Tennessee. At the same year Obama was elected President but Trafcone began their Safelink service three months before which means the program was discussed and approved by Obamas predecessor Bush. So now you know that there is nothing called the Obama Phone! The president actually has no real impact on the program so it shouldnt be called Obama Phones. The Lifeline program for cell phones was actually started under President George Bush with grants from an independent company crated under president Clinton.
The changes have dishonestly been backdated to December 2011 to pretend it has nothing to do with the Obama Administration running away from the program they used to brag about. Unfortunately, I cant find the original obamaphone.net page that gave all the credit to Dear Leader. Its been wiped clean. Even archive.orgs Wayback Machine has been scrubbed!
With my limited skills, I have been unable to find an archived version anywhere. If any of you can, please post it to keep Obama in President, you know!
Ask not for whom the Obama phone rings, for it rings for thee Barry you bum.
Live by the handout, die by the handout.
This story makes me think of the hog farmer who got eaten by his own hogs. These Obama phone folks are the 700 lb hogs that Obama has been feeding. I have a feeling this group of hogs will turn around and eat old Bammy like hogs are known to do. And all the turning around in the world won't help him one bit.
All I can think of is what they can do with those phones. MAN ON FIRE!
I've been trying to find out who the Obamaphone Lady is. As far as I know she hasn't been otherwise identified
She screams: "Everybody in Cleveland [unintelligible] minority got Obama phone! Keep Obama in president, you know? He gave us a phone!"
I think the missing word is low, as in, "Everybody in Cleveland, low minority, got Obama phone!"
That woman was part of the SEIU campaign to follow Romney around, you bet they have Obama approval.
WOW!!! That is UNREAL what they did to that webpage! I remember looking at this page over a year ago when I first heard about it.
They will use them to organize flash mobs if Obama loses. And they'll do the same if he wins.
I just found a cache of the page, but you better move quick: go to baidu.com (it's a Chinese search engine, but safe) - you can type the search term in English. The Chinese lettering on the last line of the search result is the cached page - for obamaphone.net, it is currently 9/23/12 and it is the page we are looking for. I'm taking screenshots and will post later from home.
good work — it's incredible (I don't know why I keep saying that) that they totally changed the text, imaging and and "credit" about this program on the page that's up there now at http://obamaphone.net/. I'm grabbing that one, too, in case it changes again.
He must be really putting pressure on that company to absolve him of any guilty credit.
Team Obama was perfectly willing to take all the credit available from the participants, but now that the taxpayers know about it, they are demanding to be disassociated from the program.
The new site also tells curious readers that the program is not paid for by taxes, but by fees collected by the phone companies from paying phone users because the government demands it. Somehow, that's not a tax.

Have you had a chance to read the pages of this site? Very poorly written, run on sentences, grammatical mistakes etc.
Who the hell put this web site up?
See my links above - the cache is still the old page, I just checked it. They are scrubbing them almost as fast as anyone can locate them - you'd think it was Watergate fingerprints?!?!
So when the next fair use lawsuit comes up, here is prima facie evidence that the capture of web-published information by a diverse audience has historical value and is of compelling public interest. With print media, especially newspapers, there are widespread hard copies and it is extremely difficult to pull them back to obscure the record. We need - and deserve - nothing less for web media.
When I first loaded the newly scrubbed site, there was a photo of a pine cone as the header photo - which I found odd.
Now it is back to the old format with O's picture.
I GOT THEM ALL GRABBED! Will post them ASAP!
Wow! Great work, everyone. Hannity, Rush, even BOR need to see this. We need to spread this around as much as possible. Of course, all Zero has to do is tell the "news" media not to cover this story and the sheeple will never hear of it.
Several months ago I saw a sign up in my local post office telling how you can get a FREE PHONE from the Government if you meet certain conditions.
Last check showed the sign gone.
Thanks for posting these screen shots!
"During the Bush administration, there was the introduction of a project that gave subsidies to those who could not afford a phone."
Bush's fault! I knew it !!!!
Thanks for grabbing and posting those. My office computers are all Windows based - it takes me forever to get anything done other than accounting.
Someone needs to do a video of Obamaphone meets the "Call Me Maybe" song...
So if you have an income of $30,172.00, you qualify. (135% of $22,350.00).
Who cares about freedom when you can get free stuff?
George William Bush? Geez, I thought we've had enough George Bush presidents. And now I find out there was another one. So, the cellphone give away was a Woodrow Wilson program? Interesting.
for later
I've listen to the tape about five times, and the 0bama girl said "fool stamps." Smart lady.
Wow! Is this for real? I was attributing the "Obama Phone" phrase to the fact that the woman in the video was clearly an Epsilon sub-minus and was probably using ghetto talk for a government cell phone program. I knew that the program had started under Bush - as a way to provide limited emergency phone service to elderly rural people or people in poor urban areas where there were no or few pay phones - and morphed under Barry to a giant give-away to his selected constituency.
But I didn't realize it was really called "THE OBAMA PHONE." Gads. Talk about bread and circuses.
Full of grammatical errors - hmmm, have you ever seen a letter from the average public school teacher?
This just killed me.
Obama Phone Remix - (J. Geils Band - Centerfold) - Michael Berry Show - 10/1/12
Obama foam is the froth from the mouths of adoring Obamatron zombies at an Obama town hall.
Who is George William Bush?
Now I wish I'd have kept the app I was sent...
These Obamaphones are actually destined for the Muslim Brotherhood. You see the Taliban and Al Qaeda need them as switching devices for their IEDs.
You know...ring-a-ding, ding................BOOM!
All subscribers must turn them in after Nov. 6 so they can be shipped to Bengazi. ( Its a program called Son of Fast & Furious.)

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (37 votes).
In short: Lived up to expectations. Lovely raceIn full: Visiting my home town from my exile in Kent thought I'd give this a go and thoroughly enjoyed it . Lovely race and the down hill gallop at the end was truly exhilerating. Well worth the uphill slog - which was great anyway cos of the views. V nice glass for memento too ... And, of corse, the bottle of wine! Will try to be back.Date of review: April 16, 2012
In short: Another magnificent 7...In full: This race is one of the highlights of my year and I wasn't disappointed - 4th time of running! Conditions were clear, sunny and cool, with a bit of a breeze, so you could see for miles. This has a downside, though, as it means you can see how far away the Obelisk is as you climb towards it! The climbs are challenging, but the descent along the trails either side of halfway, dodging the mud and puddles, is brilliant, as is the suicidally steep final downhill. Great fun! My GPS measured this as a bit shorter this year, 6.75 miles, but still managed a decent (for me) time of just under 55 mins. Even with the extra quarter mile I would have been under the hour for the first time - maybe its getting easier!! Great race, added to my collection of glasses and loved the donut at the end. Thanks to all at Ledbury Harriers - it's a treat of a race.Date of review: April 15, 2012
In short: Not one for the faint hearted.....In full: Decent organisation, not a big field, bit of chill in the air at the start but that was forgot by the first hill.Not a race for a pb but glorious views from the high poits a near suicidal downhill to finish, an engraved half pint glass and a doghnut made the trip worthwhileDate of review: April 15, 2012
In short: Eastnor in the sunshine!In full: A gorgeous sunny day for a great race, with fantastic views over hills, valleys, wildlife and even that castle.Race was as well organised as ever, with the hills proving just as challenging (one day they'll be easy).Only question is will the glass momento ever change? I've quite a collection of them now!Date of review: April 12, 2011
In short: Tricky ups alongside near suicidal downsIn full: A very friendly race that was well worth turning up for.Even though the weather was very hot & dusty there were still some glouriously muddy sections for the big kid in everyone. The only way to descend the last mile from the obilisk though was to switch your brain off & just run!Great fun & a lovely glass as a momento.Date of review: April 11, 2011
In short: Good but room for improvementIn full: Very tough course-few sections where you could take eyes off the ground safely. Some indifferent marshalling lead to confusion about routes. Could be more to do- lots of kids and families there but no refreshments etc. Love the glass and doughnut kept junior happy! Date of review: April 10, 2011
In short: Great off-road race in gorgeous sceneryIn full: Be prepared for some hills, but will be rewarded with glorious scenery. Great friendly run in an excellent atmosphere with a water stop/jelly babies and good friendly marshalling on the course. Needs someone in the car park field Guys or some people will block others in :-) Fantastic value with engraved glass souvenir. My 3rd time this year and well worth the journey to get there for me. Thanks !Date of review: April 10, 2011
In short: Fantastic friendly race in a fantastic location.In full: My 3rd time here and it is one of my racing highlights of the year. I find this tough - the hills are a real challenge - but there's such a sense of satisfaction in running all the way (even if I'd be quicker walking some of them!)The location is superb, the organisation great and the atmosphere is warm and friendly, perhaps in part because it is a hard race.Love it! Will be back next year, aiming to break an hour (1.03 this year, 1.05 last year, so it's possible!)Date of review: April 10, 2011
In short: Beautiful day for a beautiful run....In full: Was nice to have a glorious day for the run this year, affording us lovely views from the hills of the countryside, the Deer Park and Eastnor Castle.Good organisation as usual, and everything was as we've come to expect - top quality.Will come again next year.Date of review: April 20, 2010
In short: Lovely race again, good challenge, beat my time by 10 mins by being a bit fitter for the hills. Thanks to the Marshall with the Jelly Beans, all were very encouraging. Lovely glass for finishers and doughnut too. Will be back again for sure!Date of review: April 19, 2010

Fried Zucchini
- Olive oil, for frying
- 1 3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 medium zucchini, cut into 3-inch long by 1/2-inch wide strips
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
Stir 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the panko, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip the zucchini in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the zucchini in the panko mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the zucchini strips on a baking sheet.
When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the zucchini sticks until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.
Arrange the fried zucchini on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

Topic: How to choose the right PHP Framework for web development?
I'm a PHP Pro, but haven't use any PHP framework till now, so I have no clue on
how to choose a PHP framework. Do you have some tips to help me choose the/a right PHP Framework?
I want a stable and secure PHP Framework for Projects with about 400 hours development time.
It should be possible to use the framework on Shared-Hosting-Webservers.
I don't need some AJAX support (I'm using extJS).
It would be nice if the framework supports Rapid Application Development
and object-relational mapping.
Also some of the standard-functions (Authentification, form validation) would
be nice. Caching would be a usefull, but isn't needed.
Needs for a PHP framework:
- Shared-Hosting-Webserver-Support
- for Projects between 200 und 400 hours work
- Developing Modell

Topic: ecommerce app - multiple domains
My question is similar to this post:
Basically I have 2 (and more to come later) domains, one for selling, lets say, fruit, and one for vegetables. In other words, two separate storefronts that only display their respective product types (this is due to business reasons). Logins will work at all stores. In terms of layout the stores will really only differ on the logo and color scheme.
The sites are hosted on the same server. Is it possible to run all the sites off a single app and database? Is this the same scenario that is mentioned in the post above? Would it not be wise/recommended? Thanks for any advice.

Who is the favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL draft?
Heading into Week 5, there are more questions than answers. Which quarterback will teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns be fighting over? Where will superstar defensive end Jadeveon Clowney land? And perhaps most importantly, which team will be drafting first overall?
There's a lot of football left to be played, but it's always educational (and entertaining) to get a look at how the draft order and player stock look. Heading into Week 5 of the NFL season, here's how the first round would shake out.
And as always, the draft order here is taken from Bovada Super Bowl odds and adjusted for playoff seeding.

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, has demonstrated its dual-chip flagship product code-named Hemlock that features two ATI Radeon HD 5800-series graphics processing units.
Even though the flagship graphics solution has very similar design with its single-chip brother, ATI Radeon HD 5870 X2 graphics board seems to be even longer than the original Radeon HD 5870, which means that it will hardly fit into non-enthusiast PC cases. The device also uses improved cooling system with higher number of exhaust openings. Besides, instead of two six-pin PCI Express power connectors, the dual-chip graphics card utilizes one six-pin and one eight-pin PCI Express power connectors.
ATI Radeon HD 5870 X2 had two dual-link DVI-I connectors located on the backside of the card. Besides, it is likely that the device also supports HDMI and DisplayPort output. Later this year ATI also plans to release ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition graphics board that will support up to six monitors. The company yet has to confirm whether the Eyefinity graphics board features two graphics processors.
At present specifications of code-named Hemlock are unclear, which is logical, as the product is unlikely to hit the market in less than a month time frame.
The images of the graphics board first appeared on a Chinese-language web-site and were later republished in Xtremesystems.org's forums.

Footprint a Centerpiece of Europe's Beyond GDP Conference
GDP is the most recognized indicator in the world, but a country's high GDP does not always mean that its people are doing well. This is the reason that over 500 high-level economic, social and environmental experts met at the historic Beyond GDP International Conference in Brussels in late November. The European Commission, European Parliament, Club of Rome, OECD and WWF hosted this high-level conference with the objectives of clarifying which indices are most appropriate to measure progress, and how these can best be integrated into the decision-making process and taken up by public debate. The Ecological Footprint was featured as a central alternative to the GDP at the conference, most notably in a keynote address by WWF's President and former minister of Nigeria, Emeka Anyaoku.

Bedding: Pattern Love
16 comments:
I like patterned bedding. Of course, I have yet to own a set of printed sheets but that would be a good starting point. I want to add something to our bed this year but I'm not sure what???ReplyDelete
I'm actually working on my bedroom this year! How perfect! I tend to gravitate towards a minimalist look, but I do love pattern! #4 catches my eye . . .ReplyDelete
Thanks for featuring my spaces, Kristin! Bedrooms are some of my favorite rooms to design & I love, love, LOVE playing with patterns. Great informational post on how to mix it up!ReplyDelete
I love pattern in bedding! I have a mix of white and patterned sheets for all the beds in my house. Bedrooms are where I like to have the most fun with color.ReplyDelete
Especially love the red and black and the yellow and grey bedrooms you featured here. And how GORGEOUS is that chandelier in the first photo??
That last image is my favorite! xo KristinReplyDelete
Totally! We are waiting for the hubs to get a job and then moving....can't WAIT for the next fixer! So here's my Q: Colors for walls right now? There aren't many people I trust to ask, but you, I trust. I'm sort of over gray already....and I don't think I could handle another beige wall! I was going to go with a white/creme, but after reading the comments on the "ins and outs for 2013" post (from Kate) and ya'll, I'm not sure about that one either. I sell them after I fix them (usually a 2 yr turnover), so I need something "sell-able" (neutral). Maybe I could handle a really light grey? Seems like I've seen grey everywhere though....It can only have so much time left right? Any other suggestions that haven't been overdone? Thanks!ReplyDelete
gorgeous patterns!ReplyDelete
It's funny, I have a patterned duvet that I have been thinking of replacing with a crisp white cover. That West Elm number might be the perfect compromise!ReplyDelete
I am going bold this year! Last year I made a headboard and covered it in white linen. It is about to be recovered in the gorgeous Dwell Vintage Blossom Fabric: http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=9139C419-6064-40F0-A862-40BE7F2D02FC&cm_mmc=Google-_-Prodcuts-_-Products+Listings-_-Ads&gclid=CIHh66_XzLQCFQSqnQodzngAgAReplyDelete
I really love this Duvet though! Would the two be TOO much pattern? I'm sort of over the all white bed too!
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
That's exactly how I feel! As I changed out bedding for winter, for the first time ever I had the thought, White again? I think I'll try a large geometric pattern for spring. It's a great time to refresh the bedroom and try something new : ]ReplyDelete
Love that first photo! I want that headboard haha I have the West Elm chevron duvet and euro sham pillow covers and I L-O-V-E them! They're so soft and gorgeous :)ReplyDelete
Patterned bedding is my favorite!! I have a mix of paisleys going on in my bedroom. I love pattern mixing for some reason is it very comforting to me.ReplyDelete
oh my gosh i love that first one so much! wonder if i can change our bed to this and my bf won't notice? hmmm. love it!!ReplyDelete
-- jackiejade.blogspot.com
I was really surprised at how good it felt looking at these photos. Thanks for the curation Kristin. And for opening up my brain to a creative concept. My bedroom is due for an overhaul and I have a beautiful black floral flocked fabric on linen for super cool head board design. But I honestly would not have thought of doing more pattern until I saw these photos.ReplyDelete
Again thanks. Keep doing what you do so well.
I love that orange wall with the pink designs that match the pillows. Now that is cool.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I always love feedback on what my lovely readers { like you } are thinking. Feel free to ask any questions or you can always email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

La Hacienda closing after 33 years
November 29, 2008
Sarah Meyer: PNT staff writer
Today will be the last day of business for a 33-year-old Portales restaurant.
The family-owned and operated La Hacienda is closing its doors.
Esther Ornelas, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Crespin, said the decision to close the restaurant has been difficult.
"We've been wrestling with it since September," she said. "All of us are real sad. … It's just something that had to be done."
Ornelas said she has been sick, and stress, such as when she has to work 12-hour days, aggravates the symptoms of her illness.
Joe and Aurora Flores opened La Hacienda opened on North Avenue K in 1975. Joe Flores said there was no Mexican restaurant in Portales then.
"All his brothers were cooks, and he ended up owning a restaurant," Esther Ornelas said.
Esther Ornelas, the Flores' daughter, and her husband took over nine years ago. They looked for a more central location for three years before moving in June 2007 into the current location at the corner of Avenue I and First Street after the Wagon Wheel closed.
Esther Ornelas said she and her husband had hoped their son, Randy, who manages La Hacienda, would take over the business.
"He said, 'It's just too much," Ornelas said. Randy Ornelas has worked in the family business since he was 16 years old.
The restaurant has faced some challenges since the move.
Business tripled with the move, and the couple had to hire more employees other than just family members. There's been a lot of turnover and when employees don't show up, Esther Ornelas has to fill in.
This summer, several people who became sick with salmonella reported they had eaten at La Hacienda.
Ornelas said that didn't play into the decision to close the business.
"They never found anything in our food," she said. "It slowed us down for a month or two, but business came back."
Since posting notice Thursday that the restaurant would close, Esther Ornelas said customers have been coming in crying and upset.
"It's been hard," she said. "We've cried with our customers." She anticipated more crying today.
Paula Garcia, who has worked at the restaurant for 25 years, said she's made a lot of friends over the years. She's seen children grow up who now bring their own children to La Hacienda.
"It'll be hard," she said of the restaurant's closing.
Miguel Flores, son of Joe and Aurora, said he started washing dishes when he had to stand on a milk crate to reach the sink.
Jennifer Flores, daughter of Joe and Aurora, said many of the customers are like family.
"If we had troubles, they'd pray for us and we'd pray for them," she said.
Joe Flores remembered one of the best compliments he ever got.
A couple who had been students at Eastern New Mexico University moved away. After a few years, they went to Albuquerque to attend a conference.
"They rented a car to come over here and eat," he said.
"They said, 'The stuffed sopapillas are still the same as when we were in college,'" Esther said. "They were so excited."
Other out-of-town customers return year after year to buy chips and salsa or green chile, and several people come back to dine during ENMU's homecoming, Garcia said.
"We want to thank Portales for their support and for everything they've done for us," said Ornelas. "We just love the people. We're really going to miss all our customers."

Listening alone doesn't make us vulnerable. We are
Listening alone doesn't make us vulnerable. We are vulnerable only when we listen with the thought in mind we will remove from our being the beliefs we discover that prevent us from connecting with another. http://www.thelastwhy.ca/poem/

It takes two people to have a conversation~one to talk and the other to listen..., really listen...have a listen to Krista tippet today.

What a valuable use of two minutes. Insightful and well
What a valuable use of two minutes. Insightful and well put, Krista.
Just this morning, in thinking about how to handle a recent conflict with a friend, I realized that the key was to listen to the emotions, not the words. It's easy to get entangled in a verbal competition that has nothing to do with what's happening underneath. So to stay attuned to what's motivating the words while letting the barbed ones roll off can be a way to just stop the need for defense and competition, the need to win the argument. I think it's a way of putting love first. It's a way of saying, without words, "Yes, there are these disagreements, this pain, this clash of wills. And here I am with you, accepting you in the midst of it."
I especially liked what Krista said about hoping that she would be able to listen in a way that would enable her guests to express something they themselves hadn't put words around before. Listening is not passive. It creates and enables.

Nicely said, Susan. Thanks for the insight and

The Washington State Cougars play their home games at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington. Martin Stadium has been the home of the Cougars since 1972, and seats over 30,000 fans. A few hours before kickoff, fans, cheerleaders, and the marching band line up outside of Martin Stadium to cheer on and high five their favorite Cougar players as they enter the stadium in what is known as the "Cougar Prowl." The Washington State Cougars home bench is on the Martin Stadium sideline with sections 24-30. Martin Stadium parking information is covered in our Cougars event guide.
Washington Huskies, Idaho Vandals
Known as the "Apple Cup," this is the must see matchup in the Evergreen State. The two schools have played over 105 times since 1900, and are the two largest and most accomplished programs in the State of Washington. To say that there is no love lost between Wazzu and UW would be an understatement. The battles on the gridiron have been especially fierce in the last decade, with the game being decided by more than 12 points only a couple times.
One of the closest rivalries in the NCAA, these two Northwest neighboring universities are separated by only eight miles. This matchup is known as the Battle of the Palouse, and has been played over 85 times since the initial meeting in 1894. The Cougars have seen much success in this series, including a winning streak of 21 straight games from 1928-1949. This rivalry is one of the oldest, closest, and most regionally important matchups in the Northwest.
TicketCity offers a big selection of Washington State Cougars football tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market.

The Cougars 2017-2018 football schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the PAC-12. Washington State plays in the PAC-12 Division, which means games against Washington, Oregon, Oregon State, California, and Stanford.

The Cougars rivalry with the Huskies is easily the biggest game in the State of Washington. Allegiances to these two schools split the state in half, and each time the Apple Cup is played, the entire state is buzzing with energy as both sides desperately want to own the bragging rights for that year.
One of Washington States most famous traditions is unlike any other in the country and revolves around a television broadcast. ESPN's College Gameday is a staple of every Saturday during the college football season. They travel around the country visiting a different campus, with an intriguing matchup every week. But since 2003, no matter which campus the set has been placed on, there has been a Washington State Cougars flag flying in the background. For over 10 years, over 140 broadcasts, across countless campuses there is always the Wazzu crimson and grey somewhere in the background. This tradition shows the massive amount of pride that follows the Cougars, and is something to look for every single week.

Read more: U.S. Closing Statement at the 2010 NPT Review ConferenceAbout the Author: Ambassador Susan Burk is the President's Special Representative for Nuclear Non-Proliferation. She was the working head of the U.S. delegation to the Eighth NPT Review Conference.
The eighth Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference concluded successfully last Friday, May 28, as 189 nations adopted an action plan to strengthen measures to prevent nuclear proliferation. Since the opening of the Conference on May 3, the U.S. delegation and representatives of nearly 190 other member states worked hard to strengthen the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the cornerstone of the international nonproliferation regime.
It was a long month. Until the final day, it was uncertain whether 189 nations would reach agreement on a final document. To get agreement, we had to have consensus, and under any circumstances finding agreement among so many parties is a difficult task. Delegations had focused intensively in the last week on the forward looking action plans for disarmament, nonproliferation and peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The relative brevity of these plans facilitated agreement. The Conference President's decision to issue under his name the Main Committee reports covering the review of the NPT permitted this body of work to be incorporated in the final report with the Parties "taking note."
The United States entered this Review Conference having already accomplished a great deal in a short amount of time. Since President Obama set forth a bold vision of a world without nuclear weapons in a speech in Prague last year, the Obama administration has concluded a forward-leaning Nuclear Posture Review that reduces the number and importance of nuclear weapons in our security policy; negotiated and signed the New START Treaty with the Russian Federation; and hosted the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC, in which 47 countries committed to take steps to stop nuclear terrorism and secure fissile material throughout the world.
The U.S. delegation's main task was to work with other countries' delegations, but there were also a lot of NGOs that came as observers and the U.S. delegation was in touch with them almost constantly over the four weeks of the conference. Our senior officials briefed NGOs on what the United States had been doing across the board, particularly in the disarmament field, and we listened to and considered what the NGOs cared about and wanted to see accomplished here. We saw an impressive level of expertise in our exchanges with NGO and academic experts -- they will continue to be important contributors to our own thinking as we pursue further advances in disarmament and nonproliferation.
This RevCon ended with a consensus final document for the first time in 10 years, only the fourth of eight review conference to do so. At the conference opening, the United States took unilateral steps that made our country safer and stronger, while also setting the state for this successful outcome. For the first time, we made public the number of weapons in our nuclear arsenal (the United Kingdom followed suit during the RevCon), we announced our intention to ratify protocols to two nuclear-weapon-free zone treaties, and we pledged $50 million to a new campaign to increase funding at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for peaceful uses of nuclear energy, including applications related to food, water, medicine, and power.
The delegation was pleased by the inclusion in this final document of stronger language that:
Urges States Parties to comply fully with their obligations under the Treaty,
- Supports the President's vision of working toward a world without nuclear weapons,
- Encourages parties to join the United States in negotiating a fissile material cutoff treaty,
- Calls for fully developing the verification regime for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty,
- Encourages all States Parties to conclude and bring into force additional protocol safeguards agreements with the IAEA,
- Recommends strengthening the IAEA so that it can meet its safeguard responsibilities,
- Encourages stronger export controls for nuclear technology, and
- Calls on other States Parties to contribute to the Peaceful Uses Initiative that Secretary Clinton announced in her opening statement to the RevCon.
We worked well with our NPT partners. We share with them a strong commitment to the Treaty and its nonproliferation and disarmament objectives. The Conference President, Ambassador Libran Cabactulan of the Philippines, faced a number of challenges, but he led us effectively. We also want to recognize the important work of the Main Committee Chairpersons and the Chairs of their Subsidiary Bodies, where much of the detailed policy debate was conducted; and the representatives of the many member states who served as vice-chairs and advisors to the Review Conference President.
I know I speak for the rest of our delegation in expressing appreciation for the many constructive discussions we have had at this Conference. This RevCon, and the debate we have had during this past month, created the blueprint for the follow on work in the three pillars for the months and years to come. Multi-lateral nonproliferation diplomacy is complex and hard, but it's a gratifying responsibility as we work to build a safer and better world for generations to come.

"If the Security Council release any documents against us condemning or questioning us in any document then... [as a] diplomat, I can do nothing, the follow-up measures will be carried out by our military forces." - North Korean UN envoy Sin Son-ho
Source: BBC NEWS
A reasonable person not wishing war, but recognizing that such an event only requires one to start it; might very well weigh the odds of the international community letting him start one and thereby having all the moral justification to gang up and replace these idiots. As opposed to folks initiating an international intervention premptively, by force to remove the threat and eliminate North Korea's ability to wage war.
In the meantime, peace has taken a back seat to stupidity. This seems to be a direct ultimatum of war to the UN as an institution, and the member states of the Security Council combined. This makes "suicide by cop" look pale in comparison in other words.
I suppose as a diplomat Sin Son-ho has indeed become completely worthless. That being the case he may be well advised to jump ship and hide in the UN's basement, we can always teach him "duck and cover" drills. Maybe the ticket is for China to invite 'lil Kim and gang for the Fourth of July to say nice things about America, then arrest the tyrant and his minions.
It's time for China to decommission the Frankenstien it has inadvertanly created thinking they'd like a pet. Of mice and men and rabid dogs, lots of history written. How shall we write this chapter peacefully?

Live at the Village Vanguard
Listen to live broadcast recordings from the legendary New York jazz club, presented by WBGO and NPR Music.
Live Broadcast Recordings
Brian Blade And The Fellowship Band
One of the world's great percussionists leads a band driven by decades-long friendships, emotionally resonant anthems and flying drumsticks.
Peter Bernstein, Larry Goldings, Bill Stewart
Here, the three jazz sidemen come together as a trio. Their format isn't earth-shatteringly new, but after nearly 25 years as a band, their rapport is. Listen to a live concert.
Ravi Coltrane Quartet
After releasing his latest album, last year's Spirit Fiction, the saxophonist put his decade-old quartet on hiatus. He now takes a new group into a venue haunted by the ghosts of his parents.
Dave King Trio
Known for experimentation, The Bad Plus' drummer performs conventional modern jazz on the side. With two underground rhythm-section guys, he travels to one of New York City's most prestigious clubs.
Jimmy Cobb
The drummer is 84 — he's been around the jazz scene for a while. He was the drummer on Miles Davis' late-'50s and early-'60s masterpieces. These days, he's still touring the world and leading bands.
Kenny Barron Quintet
For jazz musicians, Barron is considered an institution. So it's fitting that the pianist gets to celebrate his 70th birthday at another jazz institution. Here, he demonstrates his ebullient clarity.
Miguel Zenón Quartet
As one of the best alto saxophone players in the world, Zenón has drawn from his upbringing in Puerto Rico. But he lives in New York — where his quartet has finally been invited to play the Vanguard.
Jeff Ballard Fairgrounds
With his ever-changing Fairgrounds band, the drummer gets to mix and match his favorite musicians. Ballard and a multi-generational band play live in New York.
Tom Harrell's 'Colors Of A Dream'
At 66, the jazz trumpeter is as busy as ever: His current band has released five excellent albums since 2007 alone. His new, project provides further testament to his prolific composing.
Chris Potter Quartet
The history of jazz is often told as a sequence of epic heroes. Coincidentally, an admired saxophonist has been reading Homer lately. Potter presents his new Odyssey-inspired suite The Sirens.
David Virelles Continuum
Following in a long line of Cuban-born pianists, Virelles has quickly become an elite New York jazz player. But his vision is mysterious — a back-to-the-future refraction of Afro-Cuban ritual.
Wilson, Rosnes, Washington
A saxophonist, a pianist and a bass player walk into a bar. But the bar happens to be one of the world's preeminent jazz clubs. And they're working as a collective band: no drummer, no hierarchy.
Sound Prints Quintet
Few jazz bandleaders are as active — and as actively acclaimed — as saxophonist Joe Lovano and trumpeter Dave Douglas. They've launched a band with friends new and old. Hear a live performance.
Matt Wilson's Arts And Crafts
Wilson is always a colorful drummer — a timekeeper who exploits all the timbres a snare drum can give him. He's also a colorful personality, a bandleader who wears his goofy joy on his sleeve.
Ethan Iverson, Ben Street, Tootie Heath
Albert "Tootie" Heath was on John Coltrane's first album and would go on to play with every other major name in hard bop. He reunites with the pianist of The Bad Plus and an in-demand bassist.
Marc Ribot Trio
The guitarist has played in just about every conceivable setting. For this live concert, his trio takes on Albert Ayler, John Coltrane, dirty blues, punk energy and fully liberated improvisation.
Craig Taborn Trio
The pianist once estimated that he was a member of "15 to 20" working bands — which says something about how much (and how many) fellow musicians value his playing. Hear him perform with his own band.
Al Foster Quartet
The great drummer made his debut at the club with Sonny Rollins in the late '60s. Foster has been a sideman to the stars ever since, and now he leads his own band of young guns.
Vanguard Jazz Orchestra
There's a tradition in many New York City jazz clubs: Monday nights are reserved for big bands. The Village Vanguard, the most storied of clubs, has observed this practice since 1966.
Bill McHenry Quartet
A tenor saxophonist who makes uncommon, beautiful music performs with a new lineup, including the great drummer Andrew Cyrille. Watch the band explore his slow, penetrating tunes.
Fabian Almazan
He's a film composer, a Cuban-American musician and a modern jazzman. It's all on display when the 27-year-old pianist performs with his jazz trio and string quartet. Hear a live concert recording.
Geri Allen Trio
It's hard to think of anyone who embodies the dual challenges of tradition and innovation better than composer and pianist Geri Allen. She brought a trio to the club for a live video webcast.
Jenny Scheinman's Mischief And Mayhem
The violinist is one of the most versatile musicians working today — she collaborates with Bill Frisell, Norah Jones and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, among others. Her newest band is in this live recording.
The Heath Brothers
In a family band made up of jazz legends, saxophonist Jimmy and drummer Tootie Heath carry on the sophisticated and swinging quartet that once featured their late brother. Hear a live recording.
Mark Turner Quartet
He has no website (yet) and no records as a leader in the last 10 years. But he's probably the most influential tenor saxophonist of his generation. Hear a live recording from the legendary venue.
Roy Hargrove Quintet
The trumpeter's current band is an argument for the idea that the elegance and sophistication of classic post-bebop jazz remains appealing today. Hear its catchy tunes and creative energy live.
Martial Solal Duo
At 83, Martial Solal is still one of the finest (and weirdest) jazz pianists to be seen anywhere. But, being based in France, he's just not seen often in the U.S. Watch and hear a live webcast.
Terell Stafford Quintet
The composer Billy Strayhorn wrote some of the most exquisite melodies in the history of jazz. Stafford, the versatile trumpeter, played original arrangements of Strayhorn tunes with his working band.
Aaron Goldberg Trio + 1
The pianist and his core trio have been some of the busiest sidemen in the business. But Goldberg has also made time to lead for more than 10 years, and does so this time with Mark Turner on sax.
Joe Lovano Us Five
How do you play the highly distinctive compositions of Charlie Parker while sounding like yourself? The monster tenor saxophonist gives it a shot with his double-drummer band Us Five.
Robert Glasper Trio
He works with top hip-hop and soul artists, but he's also a supple, simmering pianist with no shortage of jazz cred. Hear Glasper's playful band as it's embraced at the New York jazz bastion.
Lou Donaldson Quartet
By the time he started his latest weeklong run at the New York club, the alto saxophonist had just turned 84. He's been based in New York for 60-odd years, during which time he's become a jazz legend.
Jason Moran And The Bandwagon
The piano trio is known to deconstruct standards and assemble its pianist's mixed-media compositions in the same breath. Hear the band, led by its recent MacArthur Genius Grant winner, perform.
Renee Rosnes Quartet
A standout straight-ahead jazz pianist on the New York scene for nearly a quarter-century, Rosnes puts together a quartet of veterans and frequent collaborators for a run at the famed club.
Greg Osby Quintet
The great saxophonist, noted for labyrinthine explorations which press ever forward, celebrates his 50th birthday by bringing a band into the hallowed basement club. Hear the live recording.
Barry Harris Trio
It's one thing to admire and study the music of the bebop era. But Harris, a octogenarian pianist with a supple touch, lived it, and exudes that feeling in each of his performances.
Wayne Escoffery Quartet
When he isn't gigging with the modern masters, you might find the bright, energetic tenor saxophonist leading his own groups. A foursome in tow, he plays the Vanguard as a bandleader.
Sam Yahel Trio
If you'd heard of Sam Yahel before last year, you probably knew him as a Hammond B-3 organist. He performs as an acoustic keyboardist during his debut as a leader at the Vanguard.
Steve Wilson & Wilsonian's Grain
He's been a "first-call" saxophonist in New York City for more than two decades. But this week, he's the one doing the calling. Wilson and his new quartet of old friends set up shop at the Vanguard.
Nicholas Payton Quintet
He found his footing in jazz through its hard-swinging main stem. But after he'd proved his hard-bop mettle, he leaned toward experimentalism. Now, the trumpeter seems comfortable with all of it.
Gerald Clayton Trio
He's the son of a bassist, the nephew of a saxophonist, the neighbor of his bass player and the roommate of his drummer. And now, the graceful young pianist made his debut at the venerable club.
Lee Konitz Trio
He's an octogenarian and jazz legend, but he's still going full tilt. Joined by two much younger musicians, the wonderfully unpredictable alto saxophonist performs live at the great New York venue.
The Bad Plus
It's no use pretending that a crucial part of The Bad Plus' wide appeal isn't its re-imaginings of pop hits. But as it ushers in a new decade, the trio focuses mostly on new, original compositions.
Dave Douglas Quintet
These days, the trumpeter and composer is becoming a public advocate for jazz at large. But this week, it's all about the music: His most popular band presents new works.
Christian McBride And Inside Straight
What do you do when you're one of the world's top bassists and you get a craving to play the Vanguard again? If you're Christian McBride, you assemble a top-notch, straight-ahead acoustic quintet.
Billy Hart Quartet
Hart has lived through multiple sea changes in jazz; what makes him exciting to watch is that he's also clearly absorbed them all. Here, the career sideman steps into the leader's chair.
JD Allen Trio
The first album recorded live at the Vanguard was made in 1956. Noisy but soothing, simple but dense, tenor saxophonist J.D. Allen's trio is primed to confront jazz history's shadow on its home turf.
Fred Hersch Trio
A prolific, conceptually ambitious musician, the pianist spent more than two months of 2008 comatose in the hospital. Thankfully, he's made a full recovery. He proved it with his trio live on stage.
Bill McHenry Quintet
Many recognize the tenor saxophonist as one of the most original voices of his generation; one who possesses the rare ability to distill abstruse modern ideas into gorgeous, palpably warm music.
Allen Toussaint
He's a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame producer, songwriter, pianist, singer and New Orleans native. And now he's made one of the best jazz albums of 2009. Toussaint brings a diverse cast to the Vanguard.
Tom Harrell
A veteran known for his lyrical compositions and full, round tone, Harrell is one of the jazz world's most respected trumpeters. Here, he leads his quintet.
David Sanchez
The tenor saxophonist possesses an exemplary cross-cultural resume. What comes out of his horn these days is a new, all-encompassing strain of Latin jazz, akin to the post-bop of his peers.
Edward Simon Quartet
The pianist and composer has a distinctively modern, studied form of Latin jazz. He presents his quartet in concert, featuring the return of tenor saxophonist Mark Turner from a scary hand injury.
Terence Blanchard Quintet
The New Orleans trumpeter is known as a film composer for Spike Lee, and as a standard-bearer of modern jazz innovation. He brings his quintet into lower Manhattan.
Kurt Rosenwinkel
A guitarist whose harmonic ideas and sinuous, legato approach make him readily identifiable, Rosenwinkel is arguably the most beloved jazz guitarist of his generation.
Cedar Walton Trio
It's been nearly 50 years since the savvy hard-bop veteran first played the Vanguard. With a new album and a two-week engagement lined up, Walton shows no signs of stopping.
Ravi Coltrane
He's descended from jazz royalty, and he wears it with pride. But the saxophonist has engineered his own modern, personal approach to improvisation. Hear Ravi Coltrane's working quartet perform live.
Jenny Scheinman
The violinist, composer and occasional country singer has long been developing a rich, earthy take on American music, filtered through adventurous jazz sensibilities.
Anat Cohen
Reedwoman Anat Cohen totes a clarinet and two saxophones, and plays them in modern jazz, traditional revues and every Afro-Latin hybrid imaginable. She'll do all that and more in this live broadcast.
Bill Charlap Trio
One of today's most popular mainstream pianists, Charlap delights in selecting the most attractive standards of yesteryear and rendering them with tactful, warmly familiar gestures.
Chris Potter Underground At The Village Vanguard
Widely considered one of his generation's premier saxophonists, Potter plugs in with his quartet of backbeat-blasting electronic wizards.
Paul Motian, Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano
Paul Motian, Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano are all towering figures of modern jazz. They also happen to have played together for more than a quarter-century. They convene once again at the club.
Kenny Barron
Barron has long been known as one of New York's most talented and tasteful keyboard players. He brings a quartet of young instrumentalists to the Greenwich Village outpost.
Uri Caine Trio
A progressive musical polymath famed for his abundant improvisational skills and mutated reinventions of classical repertoire, the pianist and composer kick-starts his acoustic jazz trio.
Brian Blade
Widely recognized as one of the finest drummers in modern jazz — or in all of popular music, for that matter — Blade leads his celebrated Fellowship Band, fresh off their first recording in years.
Guillermo Klein
Celebrated by his peers, the Argentinean composer and pianist developed a highly original songbook before leaving the U.S. in 2000. He returns to New York to reunite his acclaimed band, Los Guachos.
Al Foster Quartet
The master drummer, a longtime anchor of Miles Davis' electric experiments, brings his versatile timekeeping and a hard-swinging group to the legendary venue. Hear a live performance.
Adam Rogers Quintet
Having long plied his angular brand of post-bop in New York, the jazz guitarist gathered a handful of the city's best musicians for his debut as a leader at the storied enclave. Hear the performance.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Everyone is expecting lousy earnings next week, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Friday, and when the bar is set low, even mediocre news can send stocks higher.
That's why Cramer said his game plan will be paying attention to a few key earnings reports.
Cramer said on Monday he'll be watching the German industrial production numbers as well as any news out of China over the weekend. In a "less is more" scenario, Cramer said he wants to see bad news from Germany, which will force them to play ball with the rest of Europe, but good news from China.
Tuesday brings earnings from Alcoa (AA) and Yum Brands (YUM) , two stocks very closely levered to the health of the Chinese economy. Cramer said Alcoa will likely be hurt by Chinese aluminum production, but he likes Yum Brands in the low $60s.
Then on Wednesday, Costco (COST) will be reporting. Cramer said that owning expensive stocks in this environment is risky, which is why anyone still owning Costco is being greedy. Also on Wednesday, a FedEx (FDX) analyst meeting. Cramer said with the bar set low, any positive numbers could send that stock higher.
For Thursday, it's grocery chain Safeway (SWY) that's due to report. Cramer said Safeway remains "a falling knife" and he much prefers Whole Foods (WFM) . He was also bullish on trucking company JB Hunt (JBHT) , a stock that could send the transports higher as its not exposed to Asia, nor does it ship crops or coal.
Finally on Friday, it's Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) , two stocks he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, taking center stage. Cramer said Wells Fargo could gallop higher on any positive news, but he's not expecting anything astonishing from JPMorgan.
Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Nolan Watson, president and CEO of Sandstorm Gold (SAND) , a company that helps finance gold mining operations in return for a percentage of the gold produced at that mine.
Watson said that unlike a traditional bank, Sandstorm is 100% equity financed, which means it can take on risk over longer periods of time. He said miners actually prefer to work with Sandstorm versus offering equity themselves, since many mining executives own shares themselves and don't like dilution.
Watson said Sandstorm has just a $1 billion market cap, compared to the $10 billion valuation of Franco-Nevada (FNV) and $14 billion for Silver Wheaton (SLW) . That means that many smaller deals are ignored by the bigger guys, leaving plenty of room for Sandstorm to grow.
When asked how the company makes money, Watson explained that in return for financing, Sandstorm gets to purchase gold at just $400 an ounce and has additional contracts that ensure the company doesn't lose money no matter how low the price of gold may go. Given Sandstorm's strong cash flow, Watson said his company will become a dividend payer once its current stage of growth is complete.

Topic: Pass variable to textilize
I'm using textile in an editor, and I am trying to add an additional tag to the link it creates, e.g from:
Link1
Link1
I have edited the redcloth.rb so it can display:
Link1
..but I am not sure how to get the 'test' in there, test is a variable and is dependant upon the field I am editing.
This is the edited portion of redcloth.rb:
def inline_textile_link( text )
text.gsub!( LINK_RE ) do |m|
pre,atts,text,title,url,slash,post = $~[1..7]
url, url_title = check_refs( url )
title ||= url_title
atts = pba( atts )
atts = " href=\"#{ url }#{ slash }\"#{ atts }"
atts << " title=\"#{ title }\"" if title
atts = shelve( atts ) if atts
"#{ pre }#{ text }#{ post }"
Any ideas?

This Woman Doesn't Put Anything on Her Skin That She Wouldn't Eat
 For Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram, who vlogs regularly from her channel, Fully Raw Kristina, going raw vegan wasn't just a choice - it was a necessity. "I used to be a type 2 diabetic, which is essentially hyperglycemic, which is basically someone who is very sick. I used to be extremely underweight," said Kristina. The daughter of Lebanese and Ecuadorian parents, she grew up eating a high-fat diet. "I basically drank olive oil as a child," Kristina joked. What she wasn't kidding about was the affect it had on her health. "When I was diagnosed at 16, I looked normal, but at 18 I had lost 40 pounds." That's why Kristina says changing her diet changed her life. "Most people don't realize that food can be medicine, for you mentally, spiritually, physically," Kristina said. For the past decade, Kristina has been a raw vegan - which inspired her YouTube channel - and according to her, it means she consumes a diet made of fresh, whole, unrefined, living, plant-based foods, like fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds, which are consumed in their natural state, without cooking or steaming. For her, changing how she consumed food was like medicine. Kristina has been a raw vegan for 10 years now, which led her to establish a raw organic co-op in Houston and then to her YouTube channel. She's focused on putting food in her body that will cleanse and take care of it, but she's equally as diligent about what she puts on her skin, too. "I don't put anything on my skin that I wouldn't eat," Kristina said. "Your skin is your largest, most absorbable organ on your body. If you're constantly putting a ton of chemicals on your skin, it may affect how you feel." Check out the full interview to learn more about Kristina and her lifestyle, plus get a supereasy DIY shampoo recipe. You can also pick up Kristina's book, The Fully Raw Diet, out now.

This 16-Year-Old Snowboarding Prodigy Shows Off Her Personality With Gorgeously Vibrant Hair
 For 16-year-old Chloe Kim, snowboarding was always a passion. The Mammoth, California native always felt tied to the slopes, and she's dominated the field as a woman and a teenager: she was the first athlete to win two X Game gold medals before the age of 16, and the first woman to pull off back-to-back 1080s. Needless to say, her star is rising, and while she was too young to compete in Sochi's 2014 Olympics, she's certainly a shoe-in for South Korea in 2018 - an exciting opportunity for her, as she's Korean-American. Chloe is changing the face of snowboarding most certainly due to her young age, but also with her personality-driven aesthetic. Her hair is never the same color for long, as she loves going to the salon and testing out vibrant blues, fuchsias, violets, and more. "I feel like a lot of people feel like snowboarding is really tomboyish. That is not true!" said Chloe. "A lot of my friends love fashion . . . me and my snowboarding girlfriends go shopping when we can," said Chloe. Recently, Chloe was named the first-ever North American ambassador for Korean cosmetics brand Laneige. Check out the full interview to learn more about Chloe, and let us know your favorite part of the interview in the comments section below.

But does it work as great as it claims it does? We put it to the test and decided whether it's worth the investment. (Or not.) On Kirbie: H&M top

For Model Danika Brysha, Getting Healthy and Embracing Her Body Created 2 Fabulous Careers
 Getting healthy is always a good thing. For model Danika Brysha, it launched a career. In fact, it launched two. Danika is a plus-size model. Several years ago, she realized she was suffering from an eating disorder when she decided to take matters into her own hands. "I always felt like if I could lose this amount of weight, I could be a model," she said. "I had a really bad eating disorder and always struggled with food." Eventually, she stopped dieting and embraced her normal size - around a 10 or 12 - and was approached at a bank about plus-size modeling. "It was really cool to see that after struggling to be this person that I wasn't for so long, when I finally settled and was like, 'Screw it, I'm going to be who I am,' and just be my natural size, then that dream of mine that I always wanted came true without having to hurt my body to do it," she said. Danika's career took off pretty quickly. At one point, though, she felt compelled to take The Whole 30 challenge to eliminate issues she was experiencing with her body. "After the 30 days, it was like, someone switched a light and I was in version two of my life." Her skin changed, she was more alert and energized, and she felt good - which is what she attributes to sticking with the program and changes. "This time around it was coming from self-love, not self-hate; I want to change it." Danika changed her lifestyle and was feeling great. She had lost 30 pounds on the program, but as a plus-size model, it cost her her livelihood. "I went from making really great money modeling to crickets," she said. That's when Model Meals, her meal delivery service was born. "I had been sharing my journey on social media and was sharing my recipes and health tips. People were responding to it, and I kept getting the same questions over and over," said Danika. Most questions revolved around how to eat clean and how to keep it budget-friendly. She started cooking meals in her apartment in New York and delivering them around the city. "[Model Meals] is obviously a play on modeling, because it changed my hair and my skin and my nails and made me feel more beautiful, but it was also about being a role model. Modeling a cleaner way of eating and taking care of yourself." Danika is now signed with IMG Models and is continuing her modeling career in addition to growing Model Meals.

How New York Times Best Seller (and Youtube Star) Joey Graceffa Overcame His Learning Disability
 Joey Graceffa has amassed over 1 billion video views on his YouTube channel and over 7 millions subscribers; he's been lauded as one of the most influential stars of the digital age. Joey's exuberant, boy-next-door personality is what makes his fans feel like they know him - and they feel that nothing is off limits when it comes to Joey's personal life. Joey isn't one to hide things from his fans, either. Joey recently confirmed his sexuality in his book In Real Life: My Journey to a Pixelated World in 2015 and his relationship with partner Daniel Christopher this year. And five years ago, he revealed that he dealt with a learning disability as a child. "A lot of people don't know this about me, but I had a learning disability," Joey said. "I first noticed when I was separated in school from most kids. I was put in a class with other kids that had more visible learning disabilities. I eventually learned I was in Special Education, SPED for short. I hated that word." Joey grew up going to special education classes due to the disability and said it was a result of lead poisoning as a child. He was eventually able to not only get out of special education classes but says he graduated with honors. He is now the author of two books: one being his autobiography, the other Children of Eden, which was released last month and is already a New York Times Bestseller. "It took me a long time to find confidence and not feel like I was defined by this learning disability," Joey said.

Carly and Nessa From Girl Code Get Candid About Women's Reproductive Rights and Plan B
 With many women concerned about their reproductive rights, it's important now, more than ever, to know your body and what options you have available to you. We sat down with Carly Aquilino and Nessa Diab from MTV's Girl Code, who had no problem getting candid about the expectations put on women - many times, by women - and how hard it can be. The comedian and radio host (respectively) have been traveling around the country to college campuses as a part of Plan B One Step's Perfectly Imperfect campaign, letting young women know they don't have to be (and aren't expected to be) perfect when it comes to their sex lives. Plan B One Step is a form of emergency contraception you can take to prevent unwanted pregnancy when you have unprotected sex or your birth control fails. The stigma Plan B is an "abortion pill" is exactly why Carly and Nessa feel there needs to be open communication about the options available to you when things don't get exactly as planned. "There are so many myths floating around," said Nessa. "As women, it's so important that we educate each other with actual facts and that we're able to spread the truth about our health, our body and what matters to us." "There is something really great about knowing what your options are should something not go according to plan," said Carly. "It's empowering; it gives you confidence to feel like you have control over your own body."

WBGO is presenting Kurt Rosenwinkel live at the Village Vanguard tonight. If you listen to the NPR Music Player before the show, you would discover this interview and solo performance I did with Kurt last year. You can also hear some of the content separately. Here's a random access sample of Kurt Rosenwinkel's digital music. Kurt also talked On the Record about some important sessions that he did NOT lead.
After the show is over, we'll be offering Kurt's Live at the Village Vanguard performance as a podcast. A pretty revolutionary and completely experimental concept for jazz, right? Our idea caught the attention of Toronto blogger Peter Hum, who wrote about tonight's show in Thriving on a Riff.

Today is Earth Day, a great opportunity for Christians to confess with the Psalmist, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it" (Ps. 24:1).
An immediate corollary to this confession that the world belongs to God is that whatever we have is entrusted to us by him. We therefore have a responsibility as stewards over those aspects of creation that we have control over, most notably our bodies, souls, and property.
Over at The Federalist, I take on Archbishop Desmond Tutu's conception of stewardship, particularly as applied in the case of the Keystone pipeline. "Tutu's depiction aligns with a view of the environment as a pristine wilderness which must be preserved rather than cultivated and developed, and is in this way the antithesis of responsible stewardship," I argue.
One particularly fruitful discussion of the stewardship responsibility of the Christian is contained in Abraham Kuyper's reflections on the Eighth Commandment in his commentary on the Heidelberg Catechism. We published these remarks in the latest issue of the Journal of Markets & Morality:

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If investors want to benefit from the bull market, they need the best information, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Friday, and that means doing the homework and listening to a few key conference calls.
Cramer said on Monday those calls will be Annie's (BNNY) , Masco (MAS) and NCL Corp (NCLH) . Annie's has a gigantic short position, said Cramer, while Masco is plugged into the housing market and Norwegian Cruise Lines can provide a read on the travel market.
Tuesday brings Avon Products (AVP) , McGraw-Hill (MHP) and Michael Kors (KORS) , along with Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) , Tanger Factory Outlets (SKT) and Federal Realty Trust (FRT) . Cramer said he'll be listening to all of these calls.
Then on Wednesday, it's Mine Safety Appliances (MSA) , a potential takeover target, Mondelez (MDLZ) , a stock Cramer said to take profits in, and Whole Foods (WFM) , which should update investors on the trend towards healthy eating.
Thursday's earnings include Generac (GNRC) , a short likely to sell off after it reports, along with Jarden (JAH) , Pepsico (PEP) , Waste Management (WM) and General Motors (GM) . Cramer said to buy Pepsico on weakness, but listen to the rest.
Finally, on Friday, it's Enbridge (ENB) , which continues to suffer under low natural gas prices, and VF Corp (VFC) , a company Cramer said needs to buy Deckers Outdoor (DECK)
Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Mark Mason, president and CEO of HomeStreet (HMST) , a regional bank and one of last year's less-than-spectacular IPOs that has now risen 150% from its IPO price.
Mason explained that HomeStreet has been in the mortgage business for 90 years and is one of the most efficient and most profitable mortgage originators in the country. He said that business is still rebuilding from the recession, which is why the company plans to continue stabilizing that part of its business while growing its more traditional businesses like commercial lending and lending to the home building sector.
Mason said there is a growing demand for homes, which is helping HomeStreet reach its goals to have its traditional lending match that of its mortgage lending.
When asked about offering a dividend, Mason confirmed there are such plans to offer a dividend sometime this year. Cramer said HomeStreet offers investors everything they could want from a bank -- growth, consistency and, soon, a nice dividend yield.
Take a Sea Cruise
Is it time to set sail with a cruise stock in your portfolio? Cramer said after the successful IPO of Norwegian Cruise Lines, or NCL, on Jan. 17, the answer is most certainly yes -- just not with Norwegian.

About the Author: Ann Stock serves as Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Yesterday, First Lady Michelle Obama hosted an event at Howard University focusing on study abroad as part of Chinese president Hu Jintao's official state visit. Mrs. Obama spoke before more than a thousand students from public, private and parochial schools, colleges and universities from around Washington, DC and across the country. More than 2,000 people tuned into a live webcast of the event, which highlighted President Obama's 100,000 Strong Initiative and encouraged more students to study abroad worldwide.
"Studying in countries like China isn't only about your prospects in the global marketplace," said Mrs. Obama. "It's not just about whether you can compete with your peers in other countries to make America stronger. It's also about whether you can come together, and work together with them to make our world stronger. It's about the friendships you make, the bonds of trust you establish, and the image of America that you project to the rest of the world."
After Mrs. Obama's remarks, I led a panel discussion with students who studied in China, including State Department exchange program alumni. Critical Language Scholarship alumna Nicole Baden of Howard University, National Security Language Initiative for Youth alumna Lyric Carter from Phelps Architecture, Construction and Engineering High School in Washington, D.C., Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship alumna Valery Lavigne from the College of New Jersey, and Gilman alumnus David Marzban from Pepperdine University shared their stories from their time abroad and were a hit with the crowd.
Check out this video to watch the event and hear firsthand from our program alumni. I also encourage you to check out a few of ECA's study abroad programs: Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, National Security Language Initiative for Youth, the Critical Language Scholarship Program and the Fulbright Program.
As Mrs. Obama said yesterday, "When you study abroad, you're actually helping to make America stronger."

Ignatius Brannon II
June 8, 1985-March 31, 2013
MARSHALL – Services for Ignatius Dean Brannon II, 27, of Marshall will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at Rehkamp & Horvath Funeral Home in Marshall. Visitation will be from 9-11 a.m. Thursday at the funeral home. Burial will be at Calvary Catholic Cemetery.
He died Sunday, March 31, 2013, at his home after a lifelong battle of seizures.
Dean Brannon was born June 8, 1985, in Panama City, Fla., to Ignatius Brannon and Elizabeth Andrews. At the age of 7, Dean moved with his family to Minnesota. He was a 2004 graduate of RTR High School. Following graduation he moved back to Florida to be with family, before returning to his home in Marshall. His curiosity drove him to become intuitive about the world around him. He was interested in electronics and discovering how they worked. He enjoyed watching racing and singing to his favorite country artists. He had several close friends that meant the world to him; he liked to hang out and grill with them. Most important to Dean was the time he was able to spend with his family. Even though his life was short and he had struggles, Dean was able to live every moment, laugh every day and love beyond words.
He will be sadly missed by his mother, Elizabeth Andrews (and boyfriend Humberto Guerra) of Lynd; father, Ignatius (and Gemma) Brannon I of Calloway, Fla.; sisters, Serena Olin (and boyfriend, Kody Evers) and their daughter Saige of Milroy, Kristin Olin of Sioux Falls, S.D.; sister, Kristina Ackison; brothers, Nicholas Brannon and Michael Brannon; grandparents, June Brannon of Panama City, Fla., Fred (and Bobbie) Andrews of Chipley, Fla.; girlfriend, Amanda Caldwell; many other aunts, uncles, relatives and friends.
Dean was preceded in death by his grandparents, Jerry Brannon and Betty Andrews.

A while back I had a friend who got me 50 grams of oolong from Taiwan (which he said was very expensive...I don't blame him since he's used to supermarket prices >.>). To date it was the best tea I have ever tasted. It was one of the few teas that I tried where each infusion had a very noticeable difference, with the third being the most heavenly.
Now I thought it was Alishan oolong...but then I noticed that there is also Lishan oolong. I know I gave the tin to a friend who loved the design on it (I'll try to track him down, which may be difficult, so I can get the actual name)
So does anyone know what the difference is between alishan and lishan?
