Robert Dallek: "Not surprising" Obama put security above privacy
President Obama seems more committed to protecting national security than promoting civil liberties and privacy rights, which puts him firmly in the tradition of most of his predecessors, says presidential historian Robert Dallek."It's not surprising," Dallek tells me. "This is what presidents do."Dallek says one reason is that there are "real national security concerns" that preoccupy every commander in chief. In Obama's case, they include fear of a repetition of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombings....

Dallek on the "second term curse"
WASHINGTON — Is there a second-term curse?Historian Robert Dallek thinks there just might be — and President Obama's current travails could be the latest example."After one party loses two elections in a row, there's sort of blood in the water," Dallek said in an interview Wednesday on USA TODAY's weekly newsmaker video series, Capital Download. "They're really eager to strike back and reduce the influence, the control of second-term presidents." What's more, a president's shortcomings have had time to surface after four years in office....

Dallek and Leuchtenburg cited in McClatchy article on culture shift
..."On cultural issues, the direction the country is moving is more progressive," said Will Marshall, president of the centrist Progressive Policy Institute. "But that's less clear on economic issues."The trend to more liberal cultural views is part of a "compassionate impulse" Americans have long held, said author and historian Robert Dallek...."There is a move in the direction of cultural pluralism," said William Leuchtenburg, historian at the University of North Carolina, with people more accepting of different cultures, different lifestyles and different attitudes .That's not to say that change comes smoothly. The willingness to change "goes in cycles," Dallek said, as people stop to absorb a wave of change. Thus, the social upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s gave way to the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment for women, the rise of the Moral Majority and evangelical Christians in politics, and the tide of culturally conservative blue-collar Democrats abandoning their party and helping elect President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s....

Robert Dallek: On Medicare's Complicated Birth
Robert Dallek, finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Nixon and Kissinger: Partners in Power (HarperCollins 2007) and winner of the 1979 Bancroft Prize for Franklin D. Roosevelt and American Foreign Policy, 1932–1945 (Oxford University Press 1980), is a professor of history at Stanford University.In 1965, after winning in a landslide against Barry Goldwater and helping to carry Democratic supermajorities into both houses of Congress, President Lyndon Johnson set out to enact a battery of Great Society reforms, including Medicare, government insurance for seniors. Despite his political mandate, 60 years of conservative opposition to such a measure meant proceeding with caution. Later, California Governor Ronald Reagan, for example, would characterize the Medicare bill as the advance wave of a socialism that would "invade every area of freedom in this country." Reagan predicted that this reform would compel Americans to spend their "sunset years telling our children and our grandchildren what it was like in America when men were free."

Scotland Yard's yearly requests to access telephone and postal records have jumped to nearly 57,000 amid fears of a creeping "surveillance society" in Britain.
The Standard today reveals the growing number of requests by the Metropolitan police for surveillance of landlines, mobiles and letters.
The figures, obtained under Freedom of Information laws, sparked a fresh row over existing surveillance powers and moves to extend them.
Scotland Yard said the requests for surveillance powers was "crucial" in solving cases "where there is an imminent life at risk", including kidnaps, murders and tracing missing people.
Security minister James Brokenshire MP said: "This legislation is vital to help catch paedophiles, terrorists and other serious criminals."
But many Tory and Liberal Democrat MPs are concerned over the "snooping" powers. Esher and Walton Conservative MP Dominic Raab said: "'Intrusive surveillance should be limited to tackling terrorism and serious crime, not snooping on ordinary citizens."
Campaign group Big Brother Watch, which used FOI laws to ask for communication data requests by the Met, said not enough was being done to investigate how the data already available was being used.
The Met's figures reveals that in 2009 there were more than 51,000 requests for communications data, rising to more than 56,000 in 2010 and nearly 57,000 the following year.

Packers, Brewers, Bucks all slip in ESPN's 'Ultimate Standings'
All three of Wisconsin's teams dropped in this year's ESPN "Ultimate Standings" ranking of the 122 sports franchises in Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Football League and the National Hockey League.
The Green Bay Packers were ranked 5th, down from 2nd in last year's ranking, but still the highest-ranked NFL team on the list.
The Milwaukee Brewers were 35th (down from 29th) and the Milwaukee Bucks were 114th (down from 104th).
The Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA finished first in this year's list, followed by the San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Packers. Rounding out the top 10 were the Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Penguins, Anaheim Ducks, Ottawa Senators and Baltimore Ravens.
The Sacramento Kings finished last. Others at the bottom included the Phoenix Suns, Houston Astros, Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers.
The ranking was based on a survey of 1,011 sports fans in North America, with questions covering 25 topics.
Then more than 59,000 fans rated their favorite teams in seven weighted categories: title track, ownership, coaching, players, fan relations, affordability and stadium experience.
An eighth category, bang for the buck, determined how efficiently teams converted revenue into performance on the field.
The Bucks ranked last (122nd) in the title track category, which was defined as "championships won or expected within the lifetime of current fans."
Holmgren Way? Not in Cleveland
Mike Holmgren is among those who were befuddled by the Cleveland Browns' decision to trade running back Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts for a first-round pick in the 2014 draft.
In fact, Holmgren said if he was the coach of the Browns and a deal like that was made, he would quit the team.
Holmgren is the former president of the Browns, who along with former general manager Tom Heckert moved up in the 2012 draft to take Richardson.
Holmgren, the former Packers coach, was fired at the end of last season by owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner. Trading Richardson obviously is in part a repudiation of Holmgren's three-year tenure in Cleveland.
"I was startled by that," Holmgren said on Seattle radio station KJR-AM (950), referring to the trade. "Then I tried to make sense of it. I wanted to know — what in the world? And it appears, after seeing the press conference, they are not coming right out and saying it, but they are kind of preparing for next year. They are preparing for next year's draft. Because if I listen to the coach (Rob Chudzinski), he said we want to be competitive. They don't even know who is going to be the running back this week. How do you make your team better by trading your best player? He's the best offensive player. He's a valuable, valuable guy. To me, they are putting in all their eggs for next season.
"Philosophically, if I'm the coach and someone came in anywhere and did that and said we are going to do this, then I would say, 'OK, fire me or I'm going to quit,'" Holmgren said. "It's just — it's too wild. This sort of thing doesn't happen. And it happened."
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, citing unidentified sources, said that Banner and new general manager MikeLombardi believe Holmgren and Heckert had "botched" the top picks in the 2012 draft, which included Richardson, quarterback Brandon Weeden and tackle Mitchell Schwartz. According to the newspaper, Banner and Lombardi would not have used a second-round pick to get wide receiver Josh Gordon in the 2012 supplemental draft.
Second City scribblers
Former Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist Ron Rapoport has published a book, "From Black Sox to Three-Peats: A Century of Chicago's Best Sportswriting from the Tribune, Sun-Times and Other Newspapers" (University of Chicago Press, 312 pp., $18).
Rapoport edited this kaleidoscope of 100 pieces, most of them columns, from 159 writers.
In the introduction to the collection, Rapoport notes how television changed the way game stories and columns have come to be written or, as he puts it "ruthlessly ground the article based on what a writer saw into so much rubble."
Writes Rapoport: "Soon, the game story, once the very essence of sportswriting, became a dying art form as not just columnists but beat reporters too responded to the new reality by working more player profiles, opinions, attention-getting phrase making and whatever rhetorical devices they could muster into their articles."
The book is organized under mostly conventional subject areas, like "Pioneers" or "Legends and Heroes" or "Magic Moments," but includes whimsical categories like "Any Team Can Have a Bad Century" and "Only In Chicago," which means fun gets more than a few seats at Rapoport's banquet.

Make a tactical change
Villa's 2010-11 pre-season preparations gathered pace with a 2-1 win against Walsall.
A goal in each half from Andreas Weimann secured a comfortable victory at the Banks's Stadium.
Alex Nicholls pulled a goal back for the Saddlers 15 minutes from time but the damage had already been inflicted on the League One outfit.
Sporting the new black away strip, Martin O'Neill's side dominated the match from the first to the final whistle with an assured display on the eve of the squad flying out to Portugal for the Guadiana Cup.
Villa began the match with intent at the Banks's Stadium. John Carew powered down the flank inside the open exchanges, skipping the oncoming challenges, but a good block from Oliver Lancashire thwarted the danger.
With three minutes played, Carlos Cuellar entered the fray in place of James Collins.
The centre-back had been struggling since last week with a knock sustained on the pre-season tour of Dublin and was taken off as a precaution.
The claret and blues were spraying the ball around the park with confidence and a minute later the first sight of goal came Villa's way.
Marc Albrighton's sweet centre found the head of the lurking Steve Sidwell inside the penalty area but Walsall keeper Jonny Brain displayed great agility to keep the ball out and keep his side in the match.
Villa were enjoying the lion's share of possession in the early stages and were certainly causing the Saddlers defence all sorts of problems, especially through Barry Bannan and Albrighton.
Despite Villa bossing the show, Walsall almost took the lead on 16 minutes.
Troy Deeney brought the best out of Brad Friedel with a powerful close-range header which the USA custodian pushed around the post.
That chance rattled Villa into life with Bannan sprinted down the left wing. The young Scot fed a delightful through ball to the onrushing Weimann, who horribly miscued into the upper echelons of the Floors-2-Go Stand.
Thereafter Villa applied the pressure with Carew agonisingly heading inches over from a Bannan cross, before the breakthrough came with 26 minutes on the clock.
Carew supplied the ammunition with a teasing centre to Weimann. The striker guided the ball past Brain via a deflection to give O' Neill's team a deserved lead.
Bannan and Albrighton were the shining lights in the first 30 minutes of this pre-season friendly encounter and the latter went close with a powerful shot that sailed over the crossbar much to Brain's relief in the Walsall goal.
Albrighton and Bannan were orchestrating the strings in midfield. And it was Albrighton's delicious centre that found the lurking Carew, but the striker could only aim his header wide.
The League One outfit fashioned two chances before the half-time interval through Clayton McDonald and Matt Richards, but the danger was comfortably cleared by Friedel and Cuellar.
Walsall emerged for the second period with fire in their bellies trying to restore parity to proceedings and it was dangerman Deeney who was at the fulcrum of all their good work yet no clear cut-chances were being fashioned.
Indeed, it was Villa causing the Saddlers defence to work overtime. First Weimann went close from point blank range.
Next it was Carew's turn to cause havoc with a mazy run which ended in the Norwegian international dragging his shot wide.
Defender Cuellar was getting in on the act too. The centre-half stabbed the ball goalward inside the penalty area but the shot was blocked.
Villa's dominance ignited the travelling claret and blue faithful and the Banks's Stadium felt like Villa Park.
On 62 minutes Weimann was denied his second goal of the evening.
Following Albrighton's low centre, the Austrian under-19 international side-footed the ball against the post.
Shortly after the woodwork was rattled again, but this time much to the agony of the home faithful.
Deeney's shot was wonderfully saved by Friedel and the resulting corner saw former Villa striker Darren Byfield crash the crossbar with a powerful header.
The game was put beyond Walsall on 66 minutes. Weimann grabbing his second goal of the match when he pounced on Albrighton's shot which was spilt by keeper Brain.
The Saddlers pulled a goal back on 75 through substitute Nicholls. Richard Taundry's cross was met by Nicholls who steered the ball past Parish.
A familiar face joined the fray for the last 10 minutes with former Villa reserve goalkeeper David Bevan entering proceedings.
A couple of scary moments at the death ensured a nervy finish but Villa collected their second win of the 2010-11 pre-season campaign.
VILLA: Friedel (Parish 72), Shorey (Lowry 46), Beye (Lichaj 46), Collins (Cuellar 3), Davies (Clarke 67), Reo-Coker (Salifou 67), Bannan, Albrighton (Hogg 72), Sidwell, Carew, Weimann.
Villa make their 11th appearance in the FA Cup final

The surging Kansas City Royals own baseball's best interleague record at 14-4.
Their final two such contests are against the NL's worst team.
The visiting Royals will be facing a Colorado Rockies pitcher who has been hit hard in losing all three August starts when they get their first look at Tyler Matzek on Tuesday night.
Kansas City (69-55) holds a two-game AL Central lead over Detroit and is a major league-best 16-3 since July 30 as it searches for its eighth straight interleague road win. Colorado (49-75) owns baseball's worst record since that date at 6-12.
The Royals used strong starts from James Shields (11-6, 3.29 ERA) and Jason Vargas to take two home games May 13-14 from Colorado. Shields also starts the opener of this two-game set.
Matzek (2-8, 5.50) had not reached the big leagues at that point, getting recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on June 11 and remaining in the rotation since.
No NL rookie has more losses than Matzek, who has a 9.60 ERA in dropping all three starts this month. He struck out a season-high nine while giving up five runs over six innings in Wednesday's 5-3 loss at San Diego.
The left-hander is 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA in two interleague starts.
Shields is 3-0 with a 2.55 ERA in five contests against the NL. He limited the Rockies to one run and struck out eight in seven innings in a 5-1 win May 13.
The right-hander's only other start against Colorado was his lone one at Coors Field in 2007. None of the Rockies he faced in that game are currently available.
Shields has plenty of experience against Justin Morneau (15 for 44 against him with four homers) and Michael Cuddyer (7 for 17). He hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in his last eight starts, going 3-2 with a 1.94 ERA.
Morneau is day to day after he missed Sunday's action with a stiff neck.
Shields is one of five AL pitchers with two hits at the plate this year.
Kansas City captured its eighth straight series by taking three of four at Minnesota to start a nine-game trip, winning 6-4 on Monday. Alex Gordon went 8 for 15 in the series and Billy Butler, hitting .400 in his last 15 games, was 7 for 17.
Catcher Salvador Perez had two hits and two RBIs before leaving in the seventh inning. Manager Ned Yost said Perez tweaked a tendon in his knee while running the bases in the fifth, but was removed purely as a precaution.
Erik Kratz replaced Perez and hit two solo homers.
''It's great to help the team out when you do get in there for any bench guy,'' Kratz said.
The injury-plagued Rockies received a boost when Cuddyer returned after missing 60 games with a left shoulder fracture for Sunday's doubleheader sweep of Cincinnati. He went 5 for 10 and hit for the cycle in the nightcap.
''It's good to see Cuddy out there and swinging like it's midseason form,'' manager Walt Weiss said. ''Big night for Cuddy.''
Rockies outfielder Corey Dickerson was 4 for 9 with a homer and five RBIs in the two games. He is batting .417 during a career-best 12-game hitting streak but went 0 for 3 off Shields in May.

Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres 2009
Chardonnay from Burgundy, France
Winemaker's Notes
Les Folatieres is a wine marrying intensity and finesse, with a full richness tempered by great elegance. The bouquet, allying well-bred fruit notes of almonds and minerals, which are repeated on the palate in the long finish.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Folatieres is vivid and wonderfully alive in the glass. Slate, crushed rocks, pears and white flowers meld together in this utterly impeccable wine. The 2009 is still vibrant and very young. Stylistically, it has quite a bit more energy and pure verve than the 2009 Combettes tasted alongside it. The 2009 clearly needs another few years in bottle. This is a great showing in a tricky vintage for white Burgundy. Note: This is the Heritiers de Louis Jadot bottling that is sold in the US. There is also a Maison Jadot bottling that I did not taste. Anticipated maturity: 2014+."
Burghound.com - "This is aromatically quite similar to the Referts with perhaps even better freshness that extends to the rich, mouth coating and mineral-inflected flavors as well before culminating in a strikingly precise, pure and impressively long finish. This is a ripe yet classically styled Folatières with its hallmark finesse.
Barrel Sample: 90-93 Points"
Louis Jadot Winery
The House of Louis Jadot has been producing exceptional Burgundy wines since its founding in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot.

Louis Jadot is not only one of the largest producers of estate Burgundies of the Cote d'Or, it is one of the most celebrated exporters of premium Burgundies, owning close to 140 acres of vineyards from 24 of the most prestigious sites in Burgundy.

About BurgundyView a map of Burgundy wineries
Burgundy is a small region, only about a fourth the size of Bordeaux. The narrow thread of vineyard land stretches from the city of Dijon to Lyon. The five main districts of Burgundy are – from North to South - Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Maconnais, and Beaujolais. Chablis is far removed geographically (above Dijon) and adheres to its own classifications. Beaujolais is its own region due to grape variety, vinification methods and regulations. Leaving us with the Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Maconnais as the heart of Burgundy.
Grapes of the region are easy to remember - Pinot Noir for reds, Chardonnay for whites. Burgundy can be called home for both varietals, despite their increasing presence in every winemaking country. In this area red wines out number whites, although the quality for both is unparalleled.
A bit of History...Once owned and run by the church and nobility, the vineyards of Burgundy were seized during French Revolution and sold off piece by piece. Further separation occurred with Napoleonic Law, which ordered that inherited land be divided among children equally. These two factors put Burgundy where it is today – a myriad of vineyards and villages, each with a number of growers and producers.
NégociantsBurgundy is organized by plots of land and labeled as such. About half of Burgundy works on a négociant system. Growers of small plots sell grapes, or more often, barrels of already made wine, to négociant houses who then blend it with other wines from that region and put it under their label. While the négociant system may sound like a way to produce mass amounts of anonymous wines, that is, luckily, not the case. Wines are labeled with a sense of place, so you know what land you are getting. There are some négociant houses that are much more renowned and consistent than others, and for the most part, the system works. But times are changing. Some growers are purchasing more land and making the wine on their property, under their label, for more consistency. On the other side, négociant houses are buying up their own vineyards so they will have more control over winemaking.
Classification SystemThe classification system is similar to a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid is the most basic of the classifications, the Burgundy AC, meaning grapes can come from anywhere in the Burgundy region. Next up is a village wine, such as Côte de Beaune or Côte de Nuits, or the villages within these regions, like Givery-Chambertin or Puligny-Montrachet. The label will say Appellation Puligny-Montrachet Controlée. At the next level is the premier cru. A wine that says Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru will still be Appellation Puligny-Montrachet [premier cru] Controllée, but may include the premier cru vineyard name, such as Les Pucelles. At the tip of the pyramid are the grand cru vineyards. There are only 30 in the Côte d'Or and the name of the vineyard is the appellation name.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

The Port of Tauranga said its newly-acquired subsidiary, Quality Marshalling, had lost a major log marshalling contract at Mount Maunganui and Murupara, effective from January 1, 2014.
The lost contract represented about 60 per cent of Quality Marshalling's revenue at the time of Port of Tauranga's acquisition of the company - for $34 million - early this year.
Quality Marshalling is the second largest log marshalling and scaling company in New Zealand, handling about 2.5 million cubic metres of logs at Mount Maunganui and Northport.
Port of Tauranga's chief Executive, Mark Cairns, said the result of the competitive tender process was disappointing, but that there remained "significant growth opportunities'' for Quality Marshalling in New Zealand.
The company bought Quality Marshalling with the aim of maintaining the Port's presence in the forest industry supply chain in February this year.
Quality Marshalling's revenue for the 2012 year was $18.0 million. Port of Tauranga, when it announced its plan to buy the company last December, said it expected the acquisition to be immediately earnings accretive.
Shares in Port of Tauranga last traded at $14.40, down 50c or 3.4 per cent, from Monday's closing level.

A gathering of morbidly obese, white trash females usually found shopping at Walmart (or anything Mart), blocking the aisles with a gaggle of snotty nosed brats in tow. The only good thing about it is, you don't have to venture all the way to Alaska to see these blubberous beasts in action.
My god, I just came back from Walmart where I saw a Whale Pod fighting over a box of discounted ding dongs.

When a Whale Whisperer gets multiple chubby girls to acquiescence to his will a the same time they form a Whale Pod. These Whales (Chubby Girls) receive acceptance and social interaction with one another, but more importantly they received the approbation they each craved from the Whale Whisper. In return for this they willingly submit their bodies for the sexual pleasure and attended to his every ordinary need.
That evening each Sperm Whale of the Whale Pod put on a Whale Show for the Whale Whisper taking a turn to masturbate as he watched. They knew he greatly enjoyed hearing each Whale Song when they climaxed.

Before I start, I want to thank everyone for your lovely comments and feedback to my 2014 round up entry! It is so heartwarming to have readers who have read my blog for ages to take the time to leave your comments, in a way, it's kinda like keeping up with an old friend - something familiar and relatable.... and I really thank you from the bottom of my heart. I guess that's why I feel like my blogging mojo is back today, and I managed to post quite a few entries up. I really can't be updating during the week, and I really hate to schedule blog entries... so I will just post everything whenever I am done with composing them. Hope you have enjoyed the spate of new entries!
I picked up three items from the recent Chanel Spring 2015 makeup collection. The first item that really caught my attention is the Rouge Allure Velvet in La Romanesque. It looks a bit blah in the tube and in my pictures it look even more blah, kinda like a dull pink/ almost even orangey in certain lighting. On the model in the ad campaign though, it is a vibrant shade of deep rosy pink. Once applied it is a beautiful rosy purpley pink. The color is deep but yet velvety soft.. and I really love the Rouge Allure Velvet formula. This is no exception, so I had to get this.
I also got the polishes in Tenderly and Desirio.. but I won't be swatching them for the blog (partly cos I am sporting some gelish nails too..so I can't take proper nail polish swatches) but I did try them at the counter - Desirio is a rich creamy pink that is very similar to La Romanesque while Tenderly would take 2 coats or even 3 thin coats to look nice and even. The Camelia blush thing that came with this collection is beautiful, but I didn't feel the urge to haul it.. partly cos it seems to blend into nothing on my skintone... and it look kinda like too dusty for my liking. Perhaps if it is in a warmer peachy shade I might have been more suckered.
A close up pic:
on the rest of my face, I am using
base - Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation, set with Izu loose powder
cheeks - RIMMEL LONDON Santa Rose blush
lips - Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in La Romanesque
eyes - MAKEUP STORE Spirit
brows - Innisfree Eco Gel eyebrow
liners - MAC Fluidline Eye pencil in Black Brilliance
Note that the foundation actually takes some time to set into a more flawless finish that diffuses the look of my pores. Loving this foundation more and more. Long lasting and nice natural finish.
I really love the lippie, and I can't wait to try out the polishes!
Hope you find this entry helpful and thank you for reading!

How to grow it:
It might come in bags at the supermarket, but there's nothing easier than growing these salad leaves yourself.
A packet of mesclun salad seed is about the cost of one bag of cut leaves.
If you have it growing fresh in the garden or in a pot on the deck, you don't have to deal with slimy, stinky salad greens past their best in the fridge.
All you need is a sunny spot, with fine, crumbly soil (a little added compost helps).
Then evenly sprinkle the seed. Half a packet will cover around 1sq m.
Sprinkle half a centimetre of fine soil on top (or organic seed raising mix), water gently and in less than two weeks your baby salad greens will be poking up their heads.
At 10-15cm tall, they're ready to start cutting.
In the kitchen:
Italian mesclun is a tangy mix of rocket, mustard and endive leaves perfect for tossing in a quick salad with finely sliced, sweet red onion and crumbled feta.
Drizzle with balsamic and olive oil dressing.

The Rent Is Too Damn High Guy, Jimmy McMillan Running For New York City Mayor
He's baaaaack! The Rent is Too Damn High guy, Jimmy McMillan, gained national attention in his bid for New York governor in 2010, and is now running for New York City mayor.
And, joining WIBX First News with Keeler in the Morning, he wasted no time sharing his feelings on corruption in the Empire State.
Referring to his bid for governor, McMillan says 250,000 votes were not counted. "We're going to court because the Board of Elections said every vote was counted and it was not counted," he said.
His issue is not whether he actually won, but whether he received 50,000, or more votes. As it stands now, McMillan was credited with over 41,000 votes. If he had received 50,000, the Rent Is 2 Damn High Party would become an official political party in the state (this article describes his case).
McMillan also ran for, or threatened to run for President in 2012.
On his pitch for support – basically it's this…all these other people you elect are proving to be corrupt, could it really get worse if you voted for an honest guy like me?
"We're asking people to stop voting Democrat and Republican, vote The Rent is Too Damn High. I used to have a wife, I told her one day 'I don't like you no more, I got another girlfriend.' That's what I mean, I'm honest."

Quotes of the day
posted at 8:31 pm on December 28, 2013 by Allahpundit
An emergency federal program that acts as a lifeline for 1.3 million jobless workers will end on Saturday, drastically curtailing government support for the long-term unemployed and setting the stage for a major political fight in the new year.
The program, in place since the recession started in 2008, provides up to 47 weeks of supplemental unemployment insurance payments to jobless people looking for work. Its expiration is expected to have far-reaching ramifications for the economy, cutting job growth by about 300,000 positions next year and pushing hundreds of thousands of households below the poverty line…
The loss of benefits is expected to drain billions in consumer spending from the economy next year. People losing their federal benefits — often benefits they expected to continue to receive for weeks or months into 2014 — described cutting back on Christmas, driving less, turning off the heat, draining retirement accounts, applying for food stamps, readying to move in with relatives and missing mortgage payments.
The end of unemployment checks for more than a million people on Saturday is driving out-of-work Americans to consider selling cars, moving and taking minimum wage work after already slashing household budgets and pawning personal possessions to make ends meet…
Some unemployed people said the loss of benefits might drive them to take minimum wage jobs to get by until they can find work at their skill level and in their field.
Richard Mattos, 59, of Salem, Ore., has been out of work since March, when he was laid off as a case manager at a social services organization. Without the unemployment income, Mattos said he and his wife will have enough money for one month's worth of bills. Almost every day, he visits employment centers run by the state of Oregon or Goodwill Industries International.
"I don't know what we're going to do," he said. "We could end up homeless because of this."
"Even the four weeks without money would set me back. I don't have any savings; I don't have anyone I can borrow from. I've been on my own basically since I'm 18 and there isn't anyone I can ask for money.
"Things are going to change drastically because, I hate to say it, but I'm going to have to go down to social services for food. It's going to humble me. My son is hungry and I can't feed him. I might lose my car. I'm not going to have a phone for people to contact me when I am looking for a job. It's going to be hard. This is just hard. To not even be able to give your son anything when he's hungry. We're all scared, every one of us. Not just me.
"I keep a roof over our head. There's food — maybe not steaks, but there's food. [It's] keeping our head just above the water, you know. We're all about to drown. The 1.3 million of us are about to drown."
Hirshfield has lived a largely ideal life. After leaving the insurance industry (where he had worked for 20 years), he joined a Connecticut bank as a vice president, earned a six-figure salary and lived comfortably with his wife and children, one of whom he had sent to college. The job was relatively stable and professionally stimulating. At 54 years old, he was happy.
Then it fell apart. The bank went through one, two, three restructurings. The last one cost Hirshfield his job.
He began training for a new career, taking a 30-week course in project management at the University of New Haven in hopes of widening his allure to prospective employers. But the search for work has been impossibly tough. He has been unemployed now for 14 months. For just over a year, he has been receiving unemployment benefits…
Hirshfield says he's more open now to blue collar work. But like Torian, he isn't sure if his skill set would be appealing to such an employer and he stubbornly (he admits) wants to hold on to the life he built.
"You grow into a certain station in life, and you want to maintain that," he said.
The looming expiration of federal unemployment benefits for more than 1 million Americans is "simply immoral," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday…
Meanwhile, Republicans contend that Democrats dropped the ball by not offering a specific plan to cover the costs of an extension before heading home for the holidays…
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he plans to bring up an extension as his first order of business in 2014, but some Republicans have indicated they would only be willing to extend the program if the cost of another extension is offset elsewhere…
Other GOP lawmakers have not said they would oppose an extension, but are concerned about the roughly $26 billion cost of extending the program for another year. Pelosi has said she does not believe that cost has to be offset, arguing the program does more good for the economy than it costs.
Some opponents of continuing the program say the roughly $25 billion price tag would be more effective at rehabilitating the labor market if put toward creating jobs, rather than extending a safety net. Some analysts also describe the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program as a recession-era holdover no longer needed in an economy—and labor market—that has been recovering for more than four years.
"This is an emergency program," said Chris Edwards, of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington. "The emergency has long been over."
"It is to an individual's advantage—as soon as they are unemployed—to really try to get employed again," Mr. Edwards said. "The curious thing about emergency unemployment benefits is that [they] induce people to wait to start searching for a job and that ends up kind of hurting them."…
"The problem we have right now is not a shortage of people who want jobs," said Jesse Rothstein, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. "The problem we have is a shortage of jobs and that doesn't get better if you make people more desperate."
This is the argument that's made: people have a disincentive to find jobs because of the unemployment insurance. End the insurance, give people the incentive to work. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul called the insurance a "disservice" to workers. And in the wake of North Carolina's move, unemployment did drop in the state. It was near 9.5 percent at the beginning of the year; now, it's around 7.5 percent.
But there isn't the direct line that people like Paul suggest. First of all, at least one study suggests that no significant disincentive actually exists. And as Business Insider reported earlier this month, yes, the unemployment rate in North Carolina dropped — but so did the size of the labor force. People in North Carolina stopped looking for jobs at a dramatic rate over the course of 2013. Since the unemployment rate is the number of unemployed divided by the size of the labor force, and since the labor force only includes people looking for jobs, the unemployment rate fell. The graph at right, via the Federal Reserve, shows the link between unemployment and labor force size in North Carolina. Blue is unemployment; red, labor force.
People in North Carolina did get new jobs, of course, but Business Insider, citing JP Morgan's chief economist, explains that this is in part thanks to "unemployed folks taking jobs for lower pay than they were waiting for." But, JP Morgan's Michael Feroli said, "the participation effect may be more important." You have to actively look for work to collect unemployment benefits, and without that push, it's easy for the long-term unemployed to lose hope.
Unemployment has reached multi-year lows in 27 states, a bit of positive news for state labor markets that are still struggling through a mild recovery.
In just over a third of states, there are more jobs now than there were when the recession began, according to an analysis of new Labor Department data by the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank focused on the needs of low- and middle-income workers. There may be more jobs in many states since the recession, but there are also more people…
In 37 states, the share of jobs needed to return the local economy to pre-recession employment rates is at or above 5 percent, according to the analysis provided by Doug Hall, director of the Economic Analysis and Research Network at EPI.
US employers advertised the most job openings in more than five years in October, and the number of people quitting also reached a five-year high…
[T]he number of workers who quit rose 2.5 percent to 2.39 million, the most since October 2008. More workers quitting can signal a healthy job market, because most of those people likely either have a new job or are confident they can find one…
The job market remains competitive, even though the competition is easing. There were 2.9 unemployed people, on average, for each available job in October. That's down from a ratio of nearly 7 to 1 in July 2009. In a healthy economy, the ratio is typically 2 to 1.

Alabama Crew Member Falls to Death on Board Tall Ship Off West Chop
By MAX HART and JAMES KINSELLA
A crew member working aboard the tall ship Alabama fell to his death
on Friday morning while the ship was heading out on a day sail.
Benjamin Sutherland, 18, of Concord, was aloft in the rigging 30
feet up when he apparently slipped and plummeted to the deck below.
Emergency responders who were rushed to the boat were unable to revive
Mr. Sutherland, who was later pronounced dead at the Martha's
Vineyard Hospital.
A fatal accident aboard the schooner Alabama during a day sail out of Vineyard Haven in the summer of 2006 involved no violation of U.S. Coast Guard regulations, a report by Coast Guard investigators has found.
By MARK ALAN LOVEWELL
The 90-foot schooner Alabama is back in Vineyard waters after having run aground in the Mystic River last Wednesday night.
"There was no visible damage," said Morgan Douglas of Coastwise Packet yesterday, after divers went below to check the vessel.

Created attachment 613872 [details] [diff] [review] patch 1: trivial preliminary stuff This patch just does trivial stuff as general clean-up and in preparation for the next patch, e.g.: - Moves code around in nsMemoryReporterManager.cpp. - Changes 2-space indenting to 4-space in nsMemoryReporterManager to match the rest of the file. - Makes the indenting of NS_MEMORY_REPORTER_IMPLEMENT macros more consistent throughout the codebase.

Created attachment 613873 [details] [diff] [review] patch 2: the interesting bits This patch gets rid of the convention where we use (PRInt64)-1 for the result of a memory reporter that fails. This makes the code cleaner in a few places, and allows for future memory reporters that might want to return negative numbers legitimately. There are two replacement behaviours. - For reporters that aren't supported on a particular platform, we now avoid registering them, and handle their absence in various ways. - For reporters that might fail if something weird happens, we now use the usual NS_ERROR_* values. Specific changes of note in the patch: - aboutMemory.js became a bit simpler. It's also more careful about putting all memory reporter property accesses (which might throw) within a try block. - A new macro, NS_FALLIBLE_MEMORY_REPORTER_IMPLEMENT, is used for implementing fallible reporters, such as the ones that query the OS. - nsMemoryReporterManager.cpp minimizes the number of platform-specific #ifdefs by #defining values that indicate which reporters are implemented (e.g. HAVE_PAGE_FAULT_REPORTERS), and reusing them later in the file.

Created attachment 614259 [details] [diff] [review] patch 2, v2: the interesting bits There was some test bustage on --enable-trace-malloc builds (e.g. the debug builds on the test machines) because |mgr.explicit| throws in that configuration, due to the lack of a "heap-allocated" report. This version handles that.

> What might this be used for?
Changes that could be negative. When I was reducing the memory consumption of about:memory I was vaguely envisioning some reporters that measured the change in resident since the last time the reporters ran, or something like that.
Even if we can't image such a case, I still like this change for the fact that it gets rid of the non-standard error case (-1) and replaces it with the standard one (nsresult).

Do you have a use case in mind for GetPath() or GetUnits() failing? It's not clear to me that it's useful to consider these fallible.

Coffee Wars!
There is a great line in an episode of "Are You Being Served?" on PBS. Mr. Harman, the all-purpose utility man, serves Mr. Rumbold his morning coffee. Because of the latest economic downturn there has been a cutback to the use of instant coffee. "So called," Mr. Harman informs us, "because there is only one precise instant in which it actually tastes like coffee."
The truth is that if it is black, hot, and doesn't smell of tea; most Americans will drink anything labeled coffee.
Part of most of my days is still spent at our son's business, Computer Central. My only (self-appointed) duty is making coffee (we've tried Nathan's attempts). Over the years we've used different brands and blends, measurements and methodologies. Somehow it is never quite up to the stuff you get from professional coffee.
After church Sunday Kay suggested we go to Taco Bell. I have nothing against Mexican food (they say that's what it is), but they don't offer coffee. We compromised on Wendy's. Wendy's has decent coffee, but this time it came with one of those packaged dry creamers. If you're going to compare drinks, it's best to use the real stuff (i.e., imitation cream).
Comparing local coffee has become something of a "thing" with me.
We occasionally patronize Brazil Coffee Company when everybody is tired of my culinary attempts. A friend once offered to buy one of the Coffee Company's specialties. My heart, which does not suffer surprises gladly, exploded. I stick with regular.
Except the most recent, I've tried the coffee at almost all of the reincarnations of what used to be the Blue Bonnet restaurant; none sticks out in my mind as above average. I've only been to the Double-N Diner and what is now the Sunrise Family Restaurant once each in twelve years, so don't really have a good handle on what their coffee is like. Tried Alabama Bar once, but had pop.
As to the pizza places, Maurizio's and Pizza Hut, I usually stick with Coke. The same must be said of Mario's Mexican Restaurant. I'm aware there are numerous other places around town which serve good, professional coffee; but I don't get around much anymore.
I always request coffee at Long John Silver's, even though it comes with powdered creamer. Decent enough drink, but it's more a matter of preferring coffee with fish.
That leaves the principle combatants in the coffee wars. The most recent entry is Hardee's, which has lately come out with some very good brew. The other leading competitor, McDonald's, originally was battling for the Starbucks market. Both offerings smell like brewed coffee, taste like true coffee, and come with real artificial cream.
And my nominee for "tastes like coffee" is ... McDonald's! With the Senior Citizen Discount it's only 52 cents.
If you have a favorite blend I'll be happy to try it. Warn me, though, if it is one of those specialty things -- I'll get my nitro pills.

A Visit from St. Nick
By Paul Cherney
Note: Paul Cherney will be on vacation Monday, Dec. 23 through Thursday, Dec. 26. His column will return Friday, Dec. 27.
In Thursday's column I mentioned technical measures based on weekly S&P 500 price action combined with weekly NYSE volume measures which might issue a negative signal as of Friday's close. The close for the week is only one of five filters inside the system and two of the other filters had moderated enough that it will be unclear until I run overnight systems whether a signal was generated. I will report on this Monday morning.
I think upside is going to be a struggle, but the positive bias for a Santa Claus Rally cannot be denied. The path of least resistance for prices is probably sideways to lower, but next week's markets could easily see some gaining days. Even if a negative signal is generated by the weekly measures of S&P 500 prices and NYSE volume (referenced above), a modestly positive bias is usually seen in the first two or three trade days following the signal.
The VIX (market volatility index) managed to move back below its 10 day exponential moving average. On Friday, near the close, the VIX's 10 day exponential was near 31.83.
Support: S&P 500 support is 884-867. There is considerable price traffic (support) in the 883-875 area.
Immediate support for the Nasdaq is now 1347-1317.
Resistance: The S&P 500 has resistance at 888-897, then 900-910, then 915-926.27.
The Nasdaq has immediate resistance at 1366-1385.37, and 1381-1412 which makes the immediate focus of resistance 1381-1385.
Tuesday, Dec. 23 (as of the the close of trading) represents the beginning of the last five trade days of the year, which is part of the Santa Claus Rally as described by the Stock Trader's Almanac. The Almanac defines the Santa Claus Rally as the last five trade days of this year and the first two trade days of the next year. For this season, that means as of the close of trading Dec. 23 to the close of trading Friday, Jan. 3. Based on S&P 500 price data back to 1959, historical odds are roughly 8 in 10 (76%) that prices as measured by the S&P 500 will be higher at the end of the Santa Claus Rally. The average gain for the period is 1.5%, so don't expect everyday to be a gainer during the Santa Claus Rally period (starts next week).
Cherney is chief market analyst for Standard & Poor's

Book of the Month
Reviewer Top Picks
Readers Choice Awards
From GT's review of Bound by the Vampire Queen…
The devil really is in the details…
In one of GT's most popular guest posts ever, Debra Anastasia gave us a taste of her bad boy anti-hero Satan Jack in her unique and creative interview-style guest post with him. After harassing his author and threatening to toss out her computer if she doesn't write him well, he stopped in and flirted shamelessly with GT's readers. Over 60 total comments made up an entertaining look into just what makes Satan Jack tick, and I for one can't wait to read more about him in Crushed Seraphim and the upcoming sequel. Go here to read Debra's interview with Jack and all of his sexy responses to the commenters!
More about Debra…
How do we choose the winners?
I'm sure you're wondering how we make these decisions. Here's the skinny…
For Reviewer Top Pick (formerly Reviewer's Choice), each GT reviewer that posted a review for the selection month gets a number of votes equalling their total reviews posted for that month. They can spend those votes, in whatever split or block they want, on any book that earned a 4.0/5 or higher rating in its GT review. The book(s) with a combination of the highest vote total and the highest number of reviewers who voted for it wins the honor and gets the nifty little silver ribbon on its book cover across our site.
For Book of the Month, the selection is a little more complicated and it is chosen solely by me. As Executive Editor of the site, I take several factors into consideration, but most importantly, the book must have a minimum 4.5/5 rating and its review (if I haven't personally read it) or story (if I have read it myself) needs to be memorable and have impact. It's largely based on "gut" feeling, so it's hard to spell out the specific metric for you guys, but basically it's an informed subjective decision that I make each month, and I don't take that lightly.
Finally, the Readers Choice awards for Favorite Author and Favorite Story are chosen by you guys every month in our end-of-month public voting! Thanks to everyone who participated this month and help spread the word to support your favorite authors and books!
Where can I get those cover badges for my site?
Want to display our awards on your site? Whether you're an author, publisher, fellow blogger, or enthusiastic reader, we'd be honored for you to share the GraveTells awards in your sidebar, post, or homepage! Right-click the images above to save them locally and upload them to your own server, or you can link directly to them by right-clicking and selecting "copy image URL". If you need a specific type of image or more instructions, email me and I'd be happy to help! =)

text: Not too long ago, I had my own question as to how large a tire I could put on my STOCK rims... and I needed to know the WIDTH of the rim in order to figure that out. I got help, on these forums, in resolving that question. I have noticed that this sort of issue (wheels rims tires what fits?) comes-up rather frequently. I'm not one to do "lifts" and put over-sized rims and tires on my truck, but I see a lot of it being done, on my local streets and highways. Out of curiosity, I wondered if there were any online resources--CHARTS / CALCULATORS--actually, where anyone could readily find their own answers. I found the following site: http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp -- "Play" with specs, try different settings, compare results, see difference... Find what fits" I'm wondering if any of you find it to be worth using / bookmarking?

Our customer reviews for ibis Nantes Centre Gare Sud
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
Stayed here for 2 nights at the time of the Rendezvous de L'Erdre festival (RDV). Friendly welcome and service and quite acceptable (continental) breakfast buffet including fruit, yogurt, cereals, cheese and ham. Close to downtown and Chateau by taking bridge over rail tracks perhaps 50 m from entrance. Walk to station somewhat further (200-250 m est.) but quite doable at least absent rain. Lieu Unique is along the way for those interested in a temporary diversion. Quite practical and would return!
We would have appreciated if hotel staff would have informed us after check in (or after having asked for a map of the city at the latest) on what is the best way to get to the old city by walking. This is not so easy because of train and car ways etc cannot be crossed by walking on a distance of several hundreds of meters in front of the hotel.
This is ordinarily an average economy hotel. However on this visit the hotel reception area was undergoing a refit and therefore there was noise and dust much in evidence. The seating area for guests in the reception area was out of action. The staff were doing their best to manage but there was little in the way of an apology from the staff about the lack of facilities. The bar area was effectively out of action and to print my bill at reception the computer and printer had to be uncovered. This was not the hotel's finest hour, but if asked would I stay there again, yes. The hotel is convenient to the airport bus service and also the rail station. it is also close to the centre of town. The weekday rates are a bit steep for what you get, but the weekend rates (which is when I am usually in Nantes) are more affordable
This Ibis Hotel is easy to find from the Nantes SNCF station if you have a basic map, it is about a 10 minute walk away. Hotel staff were very helpful and the room was basic but has all you need. There is a computer in the lobby for the use of guests & WiFi is free. We ate in the restaurant the first night & I had the best Fish & Chips ever - the fish was fresh & the breading crust light & perfect, I even ate some fries & they were good. The location is excellent for seeing the Chateau & the old town on foot. We rented a car & found it easy to navigate the local area.
Hotel comfortable. Breakfast buffet quite good but a little limited. The only issue was the noise of freight trains outside our window in the middle of the night - the downside of having a view over to the Chateau. Very convenient to the historic centre but you do have to cross over the railway lines by a footbridge

- I earn Status & Rewards points
- I do not earn points
- I can easily convert my HuaZhu Rewards points into Le Club AccorHotels points (and vice versa)

Clinton: He's Up. He's Down. He's Up. He's...
On the surface, Bill Clinton's second term is off to a strong start. The U.S. economy is chugging along. The President's approval ratings have hit 61%. And Clinton is dominating the Washington agenda with his drives for a balanced budget and additional education spending.
But as veteran Clinton trackers know all too well, any period of soaring Clintonismo is likely to be followed by an abrupt downdraft. Indeed, clouds of scandal already are billowing ominously over the White House.
By spring, the President could be consumed with indictments of associates by Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr. Clinton also faces new revelations of White House fund-raising improprieties that lead to the Oval Office. And Paula Jones's sexual-harassment suit could for the first time force a sitting President into court.
At a minimum, the scandal fallout could slow the President's political momentum. At worst, the U.S. could be in for a paralyzed Administration that floats lifelessly for the next four years. Says University of Virginia political scientist Larry J. Sabato: "This may yet turn into a full-fledged scandal that will diminish the Presidency." The upshot: Clinton would have less leverage with Congress in negotiating a budget deal, filling Administration posts, and setting foreign policy.
For now, voters are in a forgiving mood because they're happy about the economy. "People can't see beyond the high stock market and low unemployment," says Rutgers University Presidential scholar Ross K. Baker.
LITANY. But this tolerant view could change in the wake of new ethics disclosures. The breaking point could come once Starr concludes his inquiry and Senate Republicans launch protracted hearings into allegations that Clinton directed an illegal reelection fund-raising operation out of the White House.
Senator Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.), who is heading GOP Donorgate hearings, plans to subpoena Democratic Party fund-raising documents to determine if the President or aides violated campaign laws and traded access for fat-cat donations. One charge: White House officials illegally shared a database on 350,000 Democrats with campaign fund-raisers.
Thompson's panel also plans to look into a White House meeting Clinton held last May with more than a dozen bank CEOs and Comptroller of the Currency Eugene Ludwig. The execs later donated $332,654 to the Democratic Party. And Thompson will look into whether ex-White House Deputy Chief of Staff Harold M. Ickes broke the law by attempting to steer a potential $500,000 gift offered by a Texas businessman to the Democratic National Committee.
The President is still sloshing in Whitewater, too. On Feb. 5, Starr's office said it had obtained important new information from James B. McDougal, the Clintons' former partner in the Arkansas land venture. McDougal was convicted of fraud last year along with his ex-wife, Susan. In an interview in the Feb. 17 issue of The New Yorker, McDougal reversed his trial testimony and said Clinton was present at a 1986 meeting in which an illegal $300,000 loan was discussed. Clinton denied in videotaped testimony that he was at the meeting.
Starr is also exploring whether Clinton associates arranged lucrative legal work for Presidential pal Webster Hubbell, a former top Justice Dept. official, so he wouldn't provide damaging information about Clinton. Among the clients: an affiliate of Indonesian-based Lippo Group, which figures prominently in Donorgate. Hubbell went to prison after pleading guilty to mail fraud and tax evasion.
White House officials dismiss the litany of charges as partisan shots from disgruntled Republicans. But privately, some fret that the steady drip-drip could corrode Clinton's Presidency. Boffo economy or no, these coming woes don't augur well for a productive term.

Note that the description is very deceiving. The active luminescent area is not 15mm wide, it's more like 10mm wide and that it's the side with the removable plastic film on it. The wires are also soldered to the luminescent side, which makes it a real pain when replacing burnt out LCD backlights….
No public wish lists :(
