Jay Carney is stepping down as White House Press Secretary, President Obama announced Friday. Carney, who joined the administration in 2011 after more than two decades in journalism, will be replaced by Josh Earnest. Earnest had served as Carney's deputy.
Gone but not forgotten, we'll think of Carney whenever we watch A Christmas Story.

New data released by the CDC on Thursday shows that 288 cases of measles have been reported in the US since the beginning of the year—a higher number than those seen in the first five months of any year since 1994. More than one in seven of this year's cases resulted in hospitalization.
As assistant surgeon general Dr. Anne Schuchat explained, "The current increase in measles cases is being driven by unvaccinated people, primarily U.S. residents, who got measles in other countries, brought the virus back to the United States and spread to others in communities where many people are not vaccinated." Several of the cases occurred after US residents traveled to the Philippines, where there has been a measles outbreak since October 2013.
According to the CDC press release, "90 percent of all measles cases in the United States were in people who were not vaccinated or whose vaccination status was unknown. Among the U.S. residents who were not vaccinated, 85 percent were religious, philosophical or personal reasons."
The data adds fuel to the ongoing debate about vaccines: though research from around the world consistently shows that vaccines work, some doctors continue to support opting out of immunizations, and in some states, more than five percent of kindergartners have nonmedical vaccine exemptions.

So you're in the middle of the biggest secrets-blowing caper in the history of the known universe. You're one of a small number of people who have access to the most classified information about the most classified spying programs of the most powerful superpower—and you're swiping tens of thousands of pages of these secrets and preparing to hand them over to journalists. You've already made contact with your recipients—and it was harder than you thought to do so. You've switched jobs, moving from one contractor to another, in order to snatch more of the documents you want revealed to the unknowing public. You're scraping NSA servers. You're watching your back. Oh damn, you are certainly watching your back. You know the people you work for can monitor who gets in and out of the system, and though you are one of the few with the keys to the crypt, you have to be worried—scratch that, paranoid, and rightfully so—that someone's going to wise up. You make a slip—they might be watching right now—and the alarms go off. And it's no more Hawaiian paradise. It's federal prison. But you're committed. You have your plan. You're about to send a security kit to an American reporter who lives in Brazil and works for a British outlet so you can communicate via a safe and encrypted mechanism. You're keeping all of this secret from your live-in girlfriend. You're thinking about your getaway. Iceland, maybe Iceland. You know that you are engaged in risky business. You could end up changing the world. You could end up dead. Yes, dead. On the run, some times things happens. It's possible. Oh, what was that sound? Did something weird just happen with your laptop? Did a strange car drive past the house not once but twice? Man, this is intense.
And in the middle of this adrenalin-laced stretch—on April 5, 2013, a mere weeks before you start slipping that journalist top-secret docs exposing the USG's biggest secrets and then head to Hong Kong to meet him and his compatriots—you send an email to the NSA's general counsel's office, posing a rather prosaic query. One question: Why?
Today the NSA released an email Edward Snowden sent its general counsel on that date. The spy agency was responding to NBC News reporting that it had confirmed that the NSA had received an email from Snowden before he leaked all those documents expressing "policy and legal" concerns. This report seemed to bolster Snowden's claim that he had alerted intelligence officials of his profound concerns about the NSA's extensive surveillance programs before taking matters into his own hand and becoming a whistleblower. But when the NSA put out the email—claiming it was the only communication of this sort it had received from Snowden—there was a surprise: Snowden had not contacted the NSA's top lawyers about possible abuses within the NSA. He had asked questions regarding information in a training course. The course had covered the "Hierarchy of Governing Authorities" for federal action. At the top of the chain was the US Constitution. Right below were federal statutes and presidential executive orders. Snowden wanted to know which of the two ranked higher. "My understanding is that EOs may be superseded by federal statutes, but EOs may not override statute," he wrote. " Am I incorrect in this?" And he had a similar question about Pentagon regulations and Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) rules.
That was it. A simple query about training material.
Someone in the general counsel's office—the person's name is redacted—replied quickly and informed Snowden that EOs cannot override a statute and that Defense Department and ODNI regs "are afforded similar precedence." This NSA official helpfully added, "Please give me a call if you would like to discuss further." Apparently, if the NSA is to be believed, Snowden was satisfied and did not follow up.
Why would a fellow currently mounting a significant penetration of an intelligence agency choose on his own to contact the lawyers for that agency and ask these questions? Why did he care about this? Why would he want to be on their radar screen at all at this time? Was he trying to establish some sort of paper trail? Was he worried that he had left a clue somewhere about his ongoing operation and thought such a note would divert attention?
This is a puzzler. Snowden comes across as a smart and thorough fellow who sure knows how to plan well. But how does this email fit into the plan? Marcy Wheeler suggests that Snowden was trying to get the NSA lawyers to admit that the agency saw EOs as top dogs (to prove, in a way, that the NSA was using one particular EO to trump laws that might limit its surveillance activities). Until Snowden explains this email himself, it's hard to know if this is correct. If so, Snowden would be even a cooler cucumber. It's hard to imagine a fellow who's about to sabotage an entire intelligence community deciding that this is a good time to play mind games with the lawyers at the NSA and possibly draw notice. In all his interviews, Snowden hasn't mentioned that he sought to squeeze this kind of secret out of the NSA as he was filling up disk drives with its most sensitive documents.
So here is a new question about Snowden. And the question remains: whether (and how) Snowden tried to go through channels before going to Greenwald and the Washington Post.
The ACLU, which represents Snowden, says of this email controversy, "This whole issue is a red herring. The problem was not some unknown and isolated instance of misconduct. The problem was that an entire system of mass surveillance had been deployed—and deemed legal—without the knowledge or consent of the public. Snowden raised many complaints over many channels. The NSA is releasing a single part of a single exchange after previously claiming that no evidence existed." (Mother Jones asked the ACLU if it could share more of this email exchange, and it said it didn't "have any other info.")
Yes, the big picture is still there: How far over the line did the NSA go with its surveillance programs, and what ought to be done about that? But Snowden's tale is also captivating, and the release of this email today adds to the mystery.
UPDATE: Several hours after the NSA released the Snowden email, Snowden told the Washington Post, "Today's release is incomplete, and does not include my correspondence with the Signals Intelligence Directorate's Office of Compliance, which believed that a classified executive order could take precedence over an act of Congress, contradicting what was just published. It also did not include concerns about how indefensible collection activities—such as breaking into the back-haul communications of major US internet companies—are sometimes concealed under EO 12333 to avoid Congressional reporting requirements and regulations."
Snowden insisted that he had tried to work within the system: "If the White House is interested in the whole truth, rather than the NSA's clearly tailored and incomplete leak today for a political advantage, it will require the NSA to ask my former colleagues, management, and the senior leadership team about whether I, at any time, raised concerns about the NSA's improper and at times unconstitutional surveillance activities. It will not take long to receive an answer."
Snowden said there were other relevant emails (presumably sent to the NSA) "not just on this topic. I'm glad they've shown they have access to records they claimed just a few months ago did not exist, and I hope we'll see the rest of them very soon." He maintained, "I showed numerous colleagues direct evidence of programs that those colleagues considered unconstitutional or otherwise concerning. Today's strangely tailored and incomplete leak only shows the NSA feels it has something to hide."
If Snowden did have more extensive correspondence with the NSA, he and/or the agency should be able to resolve the question of what he sought to do before revealing the NSA's most important secrets..

Elizabeth Warren is at it again. On Wednesday, the senator from Massachusetts and her colleague Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) called out the Federal Reserve—the US central bank charged with setting monetary policy and regulating big banks—for being too lax on financial reform, and urged the Obama administration to fill two open seats on the Fed's seven-member board with candidates committed to cracking down on Wall Street.
"As the events of 2008 showed, when the Federal Reserve and other financial regulators failed to engage in appropriate financial regulation, the results were the worst financial crisis in 80 years," the two senators wrote in a letter to President Barack Obama Wednesday. "Financial regulation and oversight obligations must be front and central to the Board's work."
The Fed's banking watchdog duties include imposing penalties on financial firms for violations such as inadequate money laundering protections and faulty foreclosure practices. Federal Reserve board members also vote on restrictions on CEO pay and rules governing how much emergency capital banks have to keep on their books.
This is not the first time that Warren has pushed the Fed to take its financial regulatory role more seriously. Earlier this year, she called on the heads of the central bank to stop delegating big decisions on bank oversight to staffers. Of the close to 1,000 formal enforcement actions taken by the Federal Reserve over the past decade, only 11 were voted on by the board itself. The rest were delegated to Fed staff, sometimes mid-level employees. In a letter to the Fed in February, Warren contended that the delegation of authority has resulted in bank penalties that are too lenient.
Last September, Warren and fellow Democrats on the Senate banking committee opposed Obama's plans to nominate former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers to run the Fed, citing Summers' work on behalf of the banking giant Citigroup and his past efforts to deregulate the financial industry. (Obama ended up withdrawing Summers' name from consideration.)
And at Fed chair Janet Yellen's Senate confirmation hearing in November, Warren told Yellen, "I'm concerned that [financial regulatory] responsibilities just aren't a top priority for the board of governors."
In addition to the two Fed posts Warren and Merkley are concerned about, there are three other openings on the Fed board for which Obama has already nominated candidates. Those nominees are Lael Brainard, a former Treasury official; Jerome Powell, who has been a Fed board member since 2012 and is up for a second term; and Stanley Fischer, the former head of the Bank of Israel, whom the Senate just confirmed. There has been no real opposition by Senate Dems to any of these three nominees.

Passed in 1994, California's "three strikes" law is the nation's harshest sentencing law. Designed to imprison for life anyone who commits three violent crimes, the law has inadvertently resulted in the incarceration of a lot relatively harmless people, for a long time and at great public expense. Crimes that have earned people life sentences: Stealing a dollar in loose change from a car, breaking into a soup kitchen to steal food, stealing a jack from the open window of a tow truck, and even stealing two pairs of children's shoes from Ross Dress for Less. The law is one reason that California's prison system is dangerously, and unconstitutionally, overcrowded. More than 4,000 people in the prison system are serving life sentences for non-violent crimes.
In 2012, with corrections costs consuming ever more of the state budget, the voters in the state had had enough, and they approved a reform measure that would spring many of these low-level offenders from a lifetime of costly confinement. By August of last year, more than 1,000 inmates had their life sentences changed and were released; recidivisim rates for this group has also been extremely low. But further progress in the reform effort is being stymied by one thorny problem: Nearly half of the inmates serving time in California prisons suffer from a serious mental illness such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. So far, judges have been reluctant to let these folks out of their life sentences.
A new report from Stanford Law School's Three Strikes project notes that the number of mentally ill prisoners denied relief from a life sentence is three times larger than those without a brain disease. The disparity largely stems from the fact that judges and juries tend to give people with brain diseases much harsher sentences to begin with.
Once in prison, their illnesses go untreated, and the prison conditions exacerbate their behavioral symptoms. As a result, they are at greater risk of getting in trouble for breaking prison rules and being sanctioned with severe disciplinary measures, including solitary confinement—a vicious cycle that can make their symptoms even worse, getting them in even more trouble. A long record of rule-breaking is one thing judges consider when weighing a request to reduce a life sentence under three-strikes reform, and a reason so many mentally ill people have been denied resentencing.
All of these factors are now driving a push in California to work harder to ensure that people with brain diseases don't end up in the correctional system in the first place. Led by State Senator Darrell Steinberg and Stanford law professors who published the new report, the effort includes a call for more investment in mental health courts that focus on treatment rather than punishment. California currently has 40 such courts in 27 counties, and people like Steinberg think they should be expanded state-wide thanks to their effectiveness and cost-savings.
In 2006, Santa Clara County calculated $20 million in savings from its mental health court's success in keeping mentally ill people out of prisons. Sacramento County saw the cost of keeping mentally ill people out of traditional courts fall 88 percent thanks to its mental health court. Other research has shown that the specialized courts also keep mentally ill people from cycling back into the justice system. Mentally ill people in Michigan's mental health courts commit new crimes at a rate 300 percent lower than those who weren't in those courts.
But money isn't the only reason Steinberg wants to see mental health courts expanded. He notes in the Stanford report that this new approach "saves lives from being forsaken." He invokes the moral cost of failing to treat sick people with compassion, and the tragedy of the lost human potential that occurs when the only place for a person with a brain disease today is in a prison.
Watch the video directed by Kelly Duane de la Vega and Kattie Galloway of Loteria Films (above) about the mental health courts that makes his point and shows just how powerful such venues can be in reclaiming lives and helping sick people return to normal functioning in the community.

Texas Attorney General and GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Greg Abbott
Greg Abbott, the Republican attorney general of Texas, has many of the usual suspects funding his gubernatorial campaign: Energy tycoons, construction company magnates, leveraged buyout moguls, sports team owners. But one of his biggest backers hails from an industry not typically known for bankrolling political campaigns. J. Richard "Richie" Ray is the owner of a compounding pharmacy, one of those loosely regulated entities that have been mixing up lethal injection drug cocktails for prisons as these pharmaceuticals have become harder and harder to obtain. According to a new report from the nonprofit Texans for Public Justice, Ray, the owner of Richie's Specialty Pharmacy in Conroe, Texas, has given Abbott $350,000 to help him defeat democratic challenger Wendy Davis.
Ray's big investment in Abbott comes as death row inmates and good-government groups are trying to force Texas to disclose the supplier of its lethal injection drugs, thought to be a compounding pharmacy. The pharmacies themselves are under fire for selling tainted and mislabled medicine that has killed dozens of people in recent years. During Abbott's tenure as AG, he has already taken on one Texas compounder, ApotheCure, after three people in Oregon died after taking painkillers from the pharmacy that were eight times more potent than the label indicated. (In 2012, Abbott settled state civil charges against the company.) Last summer, tainted medicine from an Austin compounding pharmacy caused blood infections in 17 people; two deaths are suspected to be related to the products, which are still under investigation.
Abbott is also in the middle of a pitched legal battle over whether the state has to identify the supplier of its lethal injection drugs. Over the past several years, international pharma companies have started refusing to sell execution drugs, including pentobarbital, to US prisons for use in lethal injections, and the EU has banned their export. This has left state prisons desperate to find replacement drugs to continue moving the machinery of death. After several states were caught illegally importing the drugs from abroad, state officials have tried obtaining their execution drugs from compounding pharmacies, which can legally mix them up but that have been plagued with problems like those in Texas. Defense lawyers have argued that their condemned clients have a right to know what they're going to be injected with to ensure that the executions will not violate the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment, and they've cited the well-documented problems with drugs produced by compounders in their challenges. The botched execution of Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma only reinforced those claims.
In October, in response to a formal request under the state's open-records law, staff who handle such requests in the AG's office said Texas law required disclosure of the execution drug supplier, a move that resulted in the exposure of Woodlands Compounding Pharmacy as the state's lethal injection supplier. Woodlands promptly quit supplying execution drugs. As a result, the state is now fighting disclosure of the name of its new supplier, and Abbott is caught in the middle, with his lawyers arguing in state and federal court that the name of the pharmacy doesn't have to be disclosed, even as his open-records staff say it does.
In the midst of all this controversy, Richie Ray has become a major donor Abbott's campaign. He gave $100,000 in June 2013, just before the state bought several doses of compounded pentobarbital from a compounding pharmacy. (By comparison, Ray has given only a little more than $40,000 to Rick Perry's campaigns.) Ray's pharmacy is not supplying execution drugs to the state, according to the Texans for Public Justice report, apparently because his pharmacy isn't certified as a "sterile" facility. However, Richie's is a member of the Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA), a Houston-based national trade group that not only owns the lab that tested some of the state's compounded execution drugs for purity but also sold Woodlans the raw materials to make one of the drugs.
Ray himself is active in fighting tougher regulation of compounding pharmacies. He's the director of the Texas Pharmacy Association PAC and chairman of the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists' federal PAC. His employees are the top donors to the campaign of Sen. John Barasso (R-WY), a doctor and the Senate's leading defender of compounding pharmacies like ApotheCure.
Given the massive conflicts between his current job and one of his biggest campaign contributors, Abbott can only hope that defense lawyers manage to drag out the legal battles over lethal injection long enough for him to get elected in November.

Since the end of the Cold War, foreign policy has become much more challenging. In a post-bipolar world where nonstate actors pose real threats and disrupters (good and bad) are everywhere, the issues are knottier and unforeseen developments often yield difficult options. In the aftermath of 9/11, George W. Bush chose not to come to terms with this fundamental change. Instead, he opted for a blunderbuss policy dominated by a misguided invasion of Iraq. President Barack Obama inherited a helluva cleanup job. And as he had handled the details—such as winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—he has had tried to articulate an overall strategy. His latest stab at this was the speech he delivered to West Point graduates this morning.
Early in the address, Obama noted, "you are the first class to graduate since 9/11 who may not be sent into combat in Iraq or Afghanistan." The young men and women before him cheered. It was a poignant moment. Then Obama proceeded to outline a larger vision. He summed up his stance in these lines:
[S]ince George Washington served as commander in chief, there have been those who warned against foreign entanglements that do not touch directly on our security or economic well-being. Today, according to self-described realists, conflicts in Syria or Ukraine or the Central African Republic are not ours to solve. Not surprisingly, after costly wars and continuing challenges at home, that view is shared by many Americans.
A different view, from interventionists on the left and right, says we ignore these conflicts at our own peril; that America's willingness to apply force around the world is the ultimate safeguard against chaos, and America's failure to act in the face of Syrian brutality or Russian provocations not only violates our conscience, but invites escalating aggression in the future.
Each side can point to history to support its claims. But I believe neither view fully speaks to the demands of this moment. It is absolutely true that in the 21st century, American isolationism is not an option. If nuclear materials are not secure, that could pose a danger in American cities. As the Syrian civil war spills across borders, the capacity of battle-hardened groups to come after us increases. Regional aggression that goes unchecked—in southern Ukraine, the South China Sea, or anywhere else in the world—will ultimately impact our allies, and could draw in our military.
Beyond these narrow rationales, I believe we have a real stake—an abiding self-interest—in making sure our children grow up in a world where schoolgirls are not kidnapped, where individuals aren't slaughtered because of tribe or faith or political beliefs. I believe that a world of greater freedom and tolerance is not only a moral imperative—it also helps keep us safe.
But to say that we have an interest in pursuing peace and freedom beyond our borders is not to say that every problem has a military solution. Since World War II, some of our most costly mistakes came not from our restraint, but from our willingness to rush into military adventures—without thinking through the consequences, without building international support and legitimacy for our action, or leveling with the American people about the sacrifice required. Tough talk draws headlines, but war rarely conforms to slogans. As General Eisenhower, someone with hard-earned knowledge on this subject, said at this ceremony in 1947: "War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men."

This is not new. Obama chooses no specific camp. He does not truck with so-called realists and isolationists who do not want the United States to be involved with overseas conflicts that do not directly and immediately threaten the United States. Nor does he side with interventionists who call for US military engagement in trouble spots around the world. Cognizant of the costs of war (money, lives, and more), he does not want to overcommit the United States. Citing the costs of nonaction and the interconnectedness of today's world, he does not want to remain on the global sidelines. He's certainly no neocon eager to deploy US military resources overseas to intervene in Syria or to up the ante with Russia regarding Ukraine. (Obama announced he would boost efforts to help Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq, deal with refugees and cross-border terrorists from Syria, and "ramp up" support for elements of the Syrian opposition "who offer the best alternative to terrorists and a brutal dictator." He said he would keep working with the IMF and allies to bolster Ukraine and its economy and isolate Russia.) But Obama did defend his use of drone strikes. He noted, "In taking direct action, we must uphold standards that reflect our values. That means taking strikes only when we face a continuing, imminent threat, and only where there is near certainty of no civilian casualties. For our actions should meet a simple test: We must not create more enemies than we take off the battlefield." (Yet his administration has not always met this standard.)
For years, Obama has been trying to form and sell a balanced approach that justifies certain military interventions and limits others—while redefining national security interests to include climate change and other matters. That's a tough task. The world is not a balanced place. It's likely that Obama's handling of foreign policy will continue to be judged on a case-by-case basis and less on the establishment of an integrated doctrine. Given the global challenges of this era, a grand plan may not be realistic.

We had 16 people in our group with a mix of ages. We had plenty of space for everyone. The house was clean and comfortable. The beautiful beach is just a 5 min walk. We spent a lot of time on the covered porch, playing cards and visiting. It was a favorite spot for morning coffee as well. The owners were very prompt and helpful with correcting a problem we had with the smoke detectors. I would highly recommend this property. We had fun, no one wanted to leave!!
The home was big enough our large family. The home was well maintained and clean. I would recommend this rental to my family and friends. The beach was within walking distance and there were many restaurants that deliver for those nights when you just don't feel like cooking.
We were very happy with our stay. We had a total of 16 people (8 adults and 8 children ) and it accommodated us well. We loved the deck with table and chairs and found ourselves out there most nights talking. We had an issue with the refrigerator having an error but owners were quick to get back with us and help us solve the issue. Neighborhood was quiet and the walk to beach with small children took maybe 5 mins. But you could always have some one drop kiddos off. Gorgeous week and we were happy to have a place to catch up with family. Michelangelo pizza was great and of course Britts donuts are a must!!!
We had a great week. We checked in on Thursday, along with many family members coming in from out of town. After our wedding rehearsal on Friday, we had more out-of-town guests come over for a light dinner. There was ample room for our 30+ guests to eat and socialize (it wasn't a sit down meal). Everyone who joined us at the house loved the accommodations. We got this house because it had an elevator for our niece, visiting from Arizona. The only way or stay could have been better is a "public" bathroom on the main level. Even a powder room on the main floor would have been perfect. And the only wheelchair accessible bathroom was on the third floor. Our niece stayed on the first floor, because she felt safer for egress purposes. If we stay here again, which I think we will, we will probably bring our own cookware. We had a very memory-packed weekend and we are very happy that we got the house and the accommodations we well beyond our expectations.
We stayed here with a big group of friends. The house is gorgeous, and much larger than the pictures make it look. All of the appliances and furniture are well kept. There's also surround sound all over the house, which was a great little luxury! The owners were super friendly and available if we had any questions. I will say that it is a shared unit (side by side duplex) which we didn't know going into it. Being a large group on vacation there was some worry that we would upset the neighbors with noise- but they were super nice and didn't complain at all.
There were some ants and cockraoches... but it's the beach, so what can you expect? There weren't THAT many, and only really in the kitchen if you left food out (ants). For the most part the roaches were outside on the deck (and again only a few at that). The house was very clean when we arrived, and I don't attribute the bugs to anything more than being in a house at the beach. The house is a few blocks back from the beach, but the walk isn't bad at all (if you have alot someone can just use a car to haul everything to the beach then walk). It was a great time, and we would definitely stay here again! Carolina Beach is much quieter and less touristy than alot fo the NC/SC beaches. More of a local scene. Definitely reccommend!
We drove from Texas, Virginia, New York And Raleigh, we wanted to celebrate my Brother's life, in a place that he and all of us loved (the Beach). We looked at so many houses and tried to find just the perfect one. And we did !
as you drive out of the pines into this quaint beach town it is amazing. the home is a duplex but never really heard the people on other side. this house was amazing, enough space to spread, and enough space to congregate. The elevator was definitely a great addition to this four floor house. my parent's where in Master and truly if you needed extra space and had blow up mattresses the closet in this room would work lol.
The roof view is amazing , I can not say enough good things about this house.
The owners where also wonderful from the beginning to end, I had my deposit returned to me the day after I arrived home. when the elevator stopped working they had the repair man their in no time. I had a question about the outside shower and my email was returned. (the Outside shower is amazing (hot and cold water).
The beach is small width wise but wonderful. we came in just at the end of a small hurricane, the waves where rough but we enjoyed them an the seashells where awesome. everyone went out to eat at least once. the Lazy Pirate, good Irish food (GREAT PRICE)Hoplite pub and beer garden. we also did some great shopping for tee shirts at WIngs the prices are perfect, can bring everyone you know home a great prize for a great price.
We spent a evening at the boardwalk(not like others, no real boardwalk) the rides where like carnival rides, my thirteen year old nephews loved them, I would not go on any.
We also spent a raining day in nearby Wilmington(think we could have spent a few days there discovering all the history. Some went on the USS North Carolina, while others walked and enjoyed the wonderful ice cream down by the boat dock.
this is a wonderful vacation spot, the first time we had a reunion like this but I bet it wont be the last. And we all want to go back to this house!

Your Ghost
You guard the door to my bedroom. I've seen your ghost beside it sometimes. And it isn't in the colour - your favourite earthy shade - or in the rust hugging the handle. It isn't in the stickers clinging to memories, or in the poster clinging to the doorframe. It's the one you bought for my birthday; do you remember? Nor is it in the lost flakes of paint littered below. Nor in the carpet, ripped from its rightful place.
Your ghost lies in your imprint here, the footsteps you made in this house. You were only here once. It sounds so awful, thinking of it. You only trod here twice - once in, once out - yet I have not stepped there since. I am afraid of walking into your footprints, afraid of the shivers down my spine when my back is turned.
Your ghost watches me sleep there restlessly. The floor is a mess of the past that I cannot bring my present self to clear away. I am worried it would destroy the shadows that you cast. At all other times, I avoid the room that your ghost guards. The curtains are left open at all times, the windows tightly shut. I want you to see the mess I left behind you, even when I escape it. Even so, you cannot enter. What I have left is untouchable.
Your ghost makes it so.
Your ghost waits here for you to die, so that I can fool myself into believing my own lie. You were forced to abandon me.

BeschreibungPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Up on the Sun is the third album by the Meat Puppets, released in 1985 by SST Records. In 1999 the album was reissued on Rykodisc with bonus tracks and recording notes. The band performed the album live in its entirety at the request of Animal Collective at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival that they curated in May 2011.The Meat Puppets are an American rock band formed in January 1980, in Phoenix, Arizona. The group's original lineup was Curt Kirkwood (guitar/vocals), his brother Cris Kirkwood (bass guitar), and Derrick Bostrom (drums). The Kirkwood brothers met Bostrom while attending Brophy Prep High School in Phoenix. The three then moved to Tempe, Arizona (a Phoenix suburb and home to Arizona State University) where the Kirkwood brothers purchased two adjacent homes, one of which had a "shed" in the back where they regularly practiced.

Ripoff Report
The Melting Pot2777 East Southlake Blvd Suite 100 Southlake, Texas United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Jeff Raines, the owner of The Melting Pot franchises in Southlake and Addison, Texas refuses to pay my client, Southlake Style, almost $1,000.
This debt is outstanding and Mr. Raines has been very noncommunicative in regards to attempts to resolve this debt. The one time that I have been able to speak with Mr. Raines, he declined to pay Southlake Style, but instead offered gift certificates to The Melting Pot.
Mr. Raines has not kept his appointments to discuss or resolve as scheduled or returned an email to that effect. The fact that a company like this can operate in any industry in the United States or abroad is very unsettling.
Mr. Raines and The Melting Pot are in the process of being called under review by all appropriate industry-related state and federal agencies to make sure they are more responsible in carrying out licensing requirements than paying bills.

EUR/USD: forecast for December 21-27
EUR/USD failed to settle above 1.1000 and declined to 1.0800. The bears have to break below this level to provoke decline to 1.0730 and 1.0650. Resistance is at 1.0980, 1.1055 and 1.1100. These obstacles look strong.
Economic data from the euro area in the past week were mixed: PMIs came generally in line with forecasts, but German IFO business climate index disappointed raising concerns about the region's leading economy.
This week we won't see a lot of news from Europe. Spanish parliamentary elections can create volatility on Monday: the markets will be watching the event as the European Union urging Spain to make new budget cuts in 2016. Then there will be some minor data from Germany on Monday and Tuesday, while the second half of the week will be devoted to Christmas holidays.

BinaryNow Online Eastern Egg Hunt ended.
From April 20, 2011 until April 27, 2011 many Easter eggs with discounts were hidden on our website at http://www.binarynow.com.
Still interested in discount?
If you've missed the Easter Egg Hunt, but you are still interested in some discount coupon code, then check out our promotion for Facebook users.
Did you know? … that the Easter Bunny is German?
The Easter Bunny as a symbol originated in southwestern Germany. The custom of hiding eggs for children on the Christian Easter festival was first mentioned in the 1500s (early 16th century). At first a range of different animals brought the eggs. Depending on the region it was a stork, a cuckoo, a cock or even a fox. Later on, the bunny prevailed as the egg giver.

I'm on DEPO, and I'd have to say if you don't want to gain weight, don't use it. I don't mind, cause I've always been very thin. I'm on my 3rd month, but have gained 10 pounds in the last 3 months....

The Next Level
Listening to Connor describe all of the various sound effects that I had been setting off in his room was extremely difficult. Well, to do so without laughing, or at least smiling, was hard. But, somehow, I managed.
I am, after all, a professional.
"As far as I'm aware, no one else has complained of these noises," I told him when he was finished. I didn't see any reason to mention that all of the other rooms in his wing were devoid of patients, or that I had installed additional insulation in the ceiling and floor long before his arrival for extra soundproofing. "So, it would seem, you're the only one who can hear them."
"Can hear them?" Connor's look of concern was briefly destroyed by a massive yawn before it reformed itself perfectly. "You didn't say 'did hear them', you said 'can hear them'… that kinda makes it seem like you think it's all in my head."
"Please don't put words in my mouth," I told him with a stern wag of my finger that actually made him look sheepish. "It's possible this is just an adverse reaction to one of your medications. I'll have to terminate your current prescriptions and try something else."
"Terminate? That sounds a little… extreme, don't you think?"
I gave Connor an unimpressed stare before pulling a folder out of the pile to my right and flipping it open so that the cover shielded the papers within. I added a cute little bunny to a picnic scene I'd been working on and then turned to the next page, where my real notes lay. After a quick glance at my watch, I jotted down the date, time, and an assessment of Connor's current state. Which read, in full: On the brink. Ready for the next level.
"You look like you could use some sleep, Connor. Why don't you head back to your room and lie down for a while?" I tapped my pen thoughtfully on my desk while he tried in vain to suppress another yawn. Then, in a fit of inspiration, I added, "If you like, I can have Tobias or Dwayne stand guard outside your door to make sure you're not disturbed by any excessive noise?"
"No, no, that won't be necessary," he replied quickly with a shake of his head. "I, uh, wouldn't want to… um, inconvenience them or anything. I'm sure I'll be fine."
He'd be back in his room, all by himself again. Perfect.
"If you're sure." An affirmative nod that snapped up and down so quick it almost woke him up. "I'll walk you back to your room to make sure you get there without incident. I don't think I trust you to make it without falling down and hurting yourself!"
"Thanks, Doc. I appreciate you looking out for me."
I had to hide a laugh behind a forced cough. I did a pretty poor job of it, really, but Connor was certainly far too tired to notice. It was a long, slow trip back to Room 333, with my prized patient nearly falling asleep at several points. I practically had to drag him up the stairs when he tried to sit down 'just for a quick rest'. It was fascinating to see how much a bit of missed sleep messed with him.
"Good night," I said as I was closing his door, before pausing and asking, "or should I say good morning?"
"Please don't," Connor muttered and collapsed into his bed fully clothed. I let an unseen smile spread across my lips and closed the door firmly.
I have to admit I was rather tired and had been looking forward to a lengthy nap myself, but opportunities like that one could not be ignored. So I did my best to rush back to my office without attracting undue attention, though I did have to sidestep Russell in the lobby and pretend not to hear him calling my name as I slipped into the administrative wing.
Once I was safely back in my sanctuary I switched on my TV and changed it from the local morning news report to the feed from Connor's room. There he was, a lump of arms and legs on his bed, sleeping fitfully.
"Not for long," I whispered, a silent giggle jerking my shoulders up and down. "Let's see what you make of a potential gas leak, my puppet."
With the press of a button, tape player number four began emitting a soft, steady hissing noise. It wasn't, of course, loud enough to wake Connor - that's what number three was for.
"Nails on a chalkboard, coming right up!"
He bolted upright, hands clamped over his ears and a tortured expression warping his features. I stopped the screeching (once I managed to stop howling with laughter) and let the hissing continue. It took him a few moments to trust that the noise that woke him wouldn't return - an observation I quickly jotted down without looking away from the screen - before tentatively uncovering his ears.
Connor cocked his head to the right, listening intently. As soon as alarm registered on his face I stopped the tape player. A few blinks of confusion later I started it again. He swung his legs down to the floor and I pressed stop again. A shake of his head, a yawn, and then he began to ease his head towards his pillow. More hissing.
I literally could have done that all week.
But there was new work to be done so, in the name of research, I relented. Eventually. It took quite a while after I stopped messing with him before Connor made another valiant attempt at sleep. It was then I picked up the phone and dialled a number from memory.
"What?" I wouldn't have described the voice at the other end of the line as grumpy, per se. It was more… unapologetically blunt.
"Dwayne. It's Doc Esco."
"Sorry to bother you on your day off, but I was wondering if you were looking for some extra credit here at the Institute."
"I've got poker in half an hour," he replied, but I could hear that I'd piqued his curiosity. "What sort of extra credit are we talking about here?"
"Just a little job, between me and you. Strictly off the books, mind, but I'm quite certain we can work out some sort of payment that you would find… agreeable."
I gave them. And, after a little bit of perfunctory haggling, the elder Grim brother agreed. Just like I knew he would.
I am, after all, a professional.

After ten matches in the 2013-2014 season, there is no team with more than five wins in the Dutch Eredivisie. While there shouldn't be any clear champion at this point, having only six points separate the top team (Twente) and the 11th place club (Go Ahead Eagles) does make for a very exciting league, which we usually do have in the Netherlands.

Ross Turnbull has seen finer days than his performance against Ajax yesterday, as Chelsea lost 3-1. More

Property owners typically look for ways to boost their house's energy efficiency. Setting up double- or triple-glazed windows from Iowa contractors is a smart way to achieve this goal. A home can lose approximately 18 % of heat energy through its windows, and this results in increased CO2 emissions, expensive utility bills, and other negative effects such as increased noise from the outdoors penetrating your residence.
So why opt for multiple-glazed windows at all? Well, for starters, single-glazed windows barely provide adequate insulation. Cold air simply goes through a singular glass panel, and so your heating unit needs to work double time to keep the climate inside your house comfortable during winter. With additional glass sheets, it should be more challenging for cold air to enter your house.
Aside from installing a more substantial glass sheet between your home interior and the outside world, multi-glazed windows consist of inert gases such as krypton and argon for superior insulation. These components are injected into the spaces between the glass panes and locked tight. Inert gases possess lower thermal conductivity as opposed to natural air, which is why they can boost a window's energy-efficiency rating substantially.
Multi-glazed windows must be considered as reasonable investments. The benefits are prompt: your house will be quieter, temperature will be more uniform, and your power bills will be reduced. In addition to that, the aesthetic and resale value of your property will likewise increase. Although they can be expensive, multi-glazed windows will be able to pay for themselves sooner than you think.
To understand how much installing multi-glazed windows will cost, consult a contractor who replaces windows in Iowa and have them check out your home for a price quote. You don't have to worry about how much you'll need to shell out for a quote, as most contractors can supply you with a quote free of charge. A quote incorporates the costs of labor and materials along with the expected duration of the whole undertaking.
As mentioned earlier, multi-glazed windows can undoubtedly be costly. Yet if the energy efficiency of your house is an all-important factor for you, then multi-glazed replacement windows may be the response you're searching for.

Skye: Answer Me
I watch Abbie slump to the floor. I decide to give her a bit of air, she'll be no use dead. I like beng able to use my air power for once- normally I have to use lightning since everyone's trying to kill me. But I don't think anyone could do that now. I create a small target ball and press it to Abbie's forehead, sending small shock waves through her system. She wakes up, gasping for air, as I'm not giving her more than enough air to whisper till she talks.
"Talk," I say, my voice harsh and unforgiving.
"No," she says. I step back, and pick her and myself up and go right to the edge of the Kingdom. There's a gap in the Mazer here, instead of wall the land just stops, falling away into a gaping hole. I land lightly on my feet and put Abbie down close to the edge.
"How noble. Why don't you look over the edge, Abbie?" I sneer.
"I don't want to," she says, fear
"Oh, that's too bad. I know, I'll help you!" I say, laughing. I pick her up and swing her far out over the gorge.
"Now Abbie. Answer me."

The recollection of something importantMature
Thorn and I got home, and as usual went up to my bedroom. During the entire journey home we had been silent but now I suddenly burst out with the words "I don't want this soulmate thing to tear us apart!"
Thorn looked alarmed. "Of course not, darling!" He hugged me tightly, kissing the top of my head which made me feel tonnes better.
"I want to love you forever," I murmured.
"I know," he whispered. "Me too."
"Promise you won't ever stop loving me."
"I promise." He kissed the top of my head again.
"Never ever hate me," I said passionately.
"Oh, darling," Thorn whispered.
He picked me up and carried me to the bed. He sat there, cradling me against him, kissing my hair, my cheek, my lips, murmuring "I love you so much. Nothing will tear us apart. You were mine from the day we first met and will remain mine till the end of time. I was serious about turning you - see, I'm stopping death from parting us."
I nestled into him. "Good. I don't want our lives to become disentangled."
"They won't."
"I'm so glad my cousin knew you," I told him.
"Me too. Even if we weren't destined to love each other, we were destined to meet and become great friends."
"There's one thing I don't get," I said, later on, when I had quite calmed down, especially after Thorn had tickled me.
"Hmm?" he said absently, toying with a few strands of my hair.
"I ... I don't get why Emilia would bring it up," I said hesitantly. I was voicing a thought that had cropped up in retrospect of this evening. "Why do we need to know about soulmates? I mean, she sounds like she knew we weren't. So why say anything?"
Thorn frowned. "I see your point. It wasn't the kindest thing to do."
"D'you think they're plotting something?" I asked, unhappily. I felt betrayed: it had seemed Alex and I were getting on really well tonight.
"They could be, darling," Thorn replied seriously.
"Let's go and ask him about it," I said confidently. "If he's been lying to me, I won't ever associate with him again. And then you can tell me as much about werewolf inferiority as you want."
Thorn snorted. "I don't ask it of you. But yeah, I want to know if someone intends to hurt my precious Flora too."
And so, the following day, we set off for the garage.
"Hey, Alex," I shouted, "where are you?"
A low growl came from my feet.
I looked down to see the lupine Alex in front of me.
"I have something to ask you," I said bravely, though heard the quiver in my voice. Thorn's hand appeared on my shoulder, squeezing gently, sending reassurance through me.
He yawned, his jaw wide as he dismissed me with a swish of his tail.
"Are you going to talk to me?" I asked.
He curled up into a tighter ball and tucked his tail around him, his breathing gentle and steady.
"Hey, mutt," Thorn said; "have the decency to answer her!"
He opened one eye and snorted, returning to his warm ball.
"I thought Emilia let me have power over you," he said, folding his arms.
He lifted his great head a sleepily rose to his feet, shaking himself into human form.
"I have something to ask you," I repeated, looking directly into his caramel eyes as though that could indicate whether he was lying or not.
"Go right ahead."
My tone softened as I murmured "Do you hate me?"
"Yes," he nodded simply, "I didn't but I do."
I looked to the floor. "Was it the way I submitted to Thorn?"
"No and yes."
"What else was it?" I whispered. Thorn took my hand and rubbed it soothingly.
He looked at our hands and let out a pained growl, changing back into his wolf form.
"Because I love him?" I asked, shocked. I closed my eyes back and thought back to before Thorn had arrived, to the last thing that had happened before my wonderful vampire had re-dominated my thoughts.
"You rescued me from the other vampire," I whispered, thinking aloud. "And ... oh." I sat down on the floor, overwhelmed by guilt. "You cared about me. And I forgot. And I ... Now I'm back with Thorn. Oh, Alex."
He looked away from me, curling back up into a ball with a faint whine and a flick of his tail.
I crouched down. "Alex, ... oh, Alex..."
Thorn sighed behind me.
'Could you leave us a second?' I thought.
'Sure,' he replied dully, and he left soundlessly like a summer breeze.
"Alex, I'm sorry."
He stood, growling and running away from me to the back of the garage
"Alex!" I shouted pleadingly, bursting into tears. I held my knees and rocked myself.
He howled, dropping into an aggressive stance, his lips pulled back into a snarl, flicking his head wildly.
"I don't care!" I shouted at him. "I don't care!"
He changed, if only for a second before changing back.
"Get out! Get out!" his voice echoed
"NO!" I shouted defiantly. "I've had enough of running away! Of running away from everything! If you're going to eat me, do it! Why did everything have to be wrong?"
He looked at me angrily, before running off as fast as he could, wind whipping behind him as his paws thudded into the ground
Thorn walked in and wordlessly picked me up, carrying me sobbing back to the car. He climbed in the backseat and closed the door. He stroked my hair but didn't say anything.
"It's not your fault," I told him, "I know how it sounded but it's not you. It's fate. It's stupid, blasted Fate."
He still didn't say anything.
"I don't blame you for not being able to tell," I insisted.
Still silence.
Then, suddenly, Thorn arranged me in a sitting position and kissed my neck. His arms encircled my waist.
"Hold still for me baby," he whispered.
"What are you doing?" I asked, as he rested his head against my shoulder.
"I don't want to lose you. I hope you understand. I understand /you/."
I frowned. "I ... I don't get it."
He lifted his head and gently bit down.
"Oh," I whispered, not entirely sure how I felt.
'Just sit still,' he thought quietly, while rhythmically lapping my blood. "Nothing'll happen yet."

As talented as Kanye West is, he is also one of the most disliked musicians alive today. His infamous Taylor Swift moment, the self-glorifying rants and his marriage with Kim Kardashian are just a few of the reasons why he is so widely derided despite being a musical demigod.
But Kanye wasn't always like that. In fact, the pre-fame Kanye West was quite different from his current self, as is evident in an old freestyle rap performance of his which has just been released on YouTube.
The then 19-year-old MC can be seen taking the stage and going as hard and raw as we've ever seen him go. It's a far cry from Kanye's current musical taste, which there's nothing wrong with, except that it's not hardcore old school rapping.
Mind you, this was before Kanye got infested with distractions like fashion, media, developed a habit for attention-whoring, and got involved with socialites.
As one YouTube commentator put it, "He was straight fire back then."
The extent of his skills is proven when he's given the task to spit bars about Alanis Morisette of all people. And he did it with great ease, even slipping a mention of her hit song "Ironic" in his verse.
The best line? "It ain't original because I stole it from the future."
Yep, that's Kanye West alright.

So did anyone else in this group go to the Shady Lady Gardens this last
My neighbor and I went there on Saturday for the first time.
We toured all three
yards. They do have alot of hostas. I saw alot of hostas
I have never seen before.
I really liked H. Eola Salad Bowl and H. Mary Marie Ann two of which
I had
never seen before. The prices run about the same as the hosta catalogs
I get through the mail. They had a planting of H. Crown Jewel running
one of the gardens. We both bought this one, which was not expensive
at all but
we did really like the looks of it. I bought Northern Exposure which
they had
a very nice big clump of it growing. A few of the other ones I got
were hypoleuca,
nakiamo, venutsa, Zounds, Gold Regal, Green Piecrust etc.
One of the lady's there gave me a leaf from Fortunei Albomarginata and
Albomarginata. Now I finally know which is which after trying
to figure it out for
the last three years.
Oh, and Clyde they had a huge H. Montana Aureomarginata growing. Wow,
was really something.
