On The Monitor this week:
- Mike Dieterich on the lost economic opportunities caused by the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement.
- Joe Lauria on Hillary Clinton's election loss, through her own words and the thoughts of some her closest aides.
More about this week's guests:
Mike Dieterich is a LEED Accredited Professional, environmental scientist, award winning producer, and bestselling author. He has worked in the sustainability industry with local-small businesses to state agencies, federal groups, international companies and nonprofit organizations. He is the author of Renew & Sustain: A cutting edge approach to being socially responsible, environmentally conscious, and incredibly profitable for businesses, schools, and government.
Joe Lauria is a veteran foreign-affairs journalist. He has written for the Boston Globe, the Sunday Times of London and the Wall Street Journal among other newspapers. He is author of the just-released book How I Lost By Hillary Clinton. Quote: "Without a shred of evidence Clinton claimed on Wednesday night that there were 1,000 Russian agents working with Trump to defeat her. She blamed, 'The kinds of things that were in WikiLeaks — you laugh, but people were obsessing over this stuff. Obsessing over it.' The kind of things that were in WikiLeaks were her own words, which she ought to read in my new book to understand why she really lost." Vox reports: "Hillary Clinton blames everyone but herself for her 2016 loss." From the book description: Clinton's "own words, found in this book, tell the real story of how it happened. The title includes Clinton's byline as she has unwittingly written the story of her own defeat in her speeches and her emails and those of her campaign staff. "At a time of widespread dissatisfaction with business-as-usual politics, the Democrats chose to field a quintessential insider. Her campaign dwelt little on policies, focusing overwhelmingly on the personality of her opponent. That this strategy was a failure is an understatement. Losing an election to someone with as little competence or support from his own party as Donald Trump marked an extraordinary fiasco. The refusal of the Democratic leadership to identify the real reasons for their defeat is not just a problem of history. If Democrats persevere with a politics that prioritizes well-off professionals rather than ordinary Americans, they will leave the field open to right-wing populism for many years to come. Drawing on the WikiLeaks releases of Clinton's talks at Goldman Sachs and the emails of her campaign chief John Podesta, as well as key passages from her public speeches, How I Lost By Hillary Clinton also includes extensive commentary by award-winning journalist Joe Lauria, and a foreword by Julian Assange, editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks."

A signed copy of this book is yours for a donation of $120. The book is not available until May but you will get your own signed copy in the mail as soon as copies are available for distribution.
More about this week's guest:
John Kiriakou became an anti-torture whistleblower and activist when he told ABC News in December 2007 that the CIA was torturing prisoners, that that torture was official U.S. government policy, and that the policy was approved by the President. John was driven to ruin by the Justice Department because of these revelations.
Immediately after John's interview, the Justice Department initiated a years-long investigation, determined to find something–anything–to charge him with. This was his payback for blowing the whistle on the torture program.
John eventually was charged with three counts of espionage, one count of violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act and one count of making a false statement as a result of the 2007 ABC News interview. Finally, in order to avoid the risk of spending 45 years in prison, John accepted a plea to violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. All other charges were dropped. Even though he had no criminal intent, and there was no harm to the national security, accepting the plea resulted in a sentence of 30 months in prison.
From 1990 until March 2004, first as an analyst, and later as a counterterrorism operations officer, John Kiriakou served in the Central Intelligence Agency. He became chief of counterterrorist operations in Pakistan following the September 11 attacks acting as a senior operations officer. His tour culminated in the March 2002 with the capture of Abu Zubaydah, al-Qa'ida's third-ranking official.
When he returned from Pakistan, John was named Executive Assistant to the CIA's Deputy Director for Operations. In that capacity, John was the principal Iraq briefer for the Director of Central Intelligence.
John then became senior investigator on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after a brief time in the private sector, where he focused on international terrorism, piracy, and counternarcotics. Additionally, John served as senior intelligence advisor to the Committee's chairman, Senator John Kerry.
Following his service on the Hill, John became an intelligence and counterterrorism consultant and author.
About the book:
Doing Time Like A Spy is Kiriakou's memoir of his twenty-three months in prison. Using twenty life skills he learned in CIA operational training, he was able to keep himself safe and at the top of the prison social heap. Including his award-winning blog series "Letters from Loretto," Doing Time Like a Spy is at once a searing journal of daily prison life and an alternately funny and heartbreaking commentary on the federal prison system.

On The Monitor this week:
- Did the former president "wiretap" the current president? We discuss the allegations with Larry Johnson
- Is the new "Muslim Ban" harsher than the old Muslim Ban? We discuss the topic with Arun Gupta
More about this week's guests:
Larry C. Johnson is CEO and co-founder of BERG Associates, LLC, an international business-consulting firm with expertise combating terrorism and investigating money laundering. Mr. Johnson works with US military commands in scripting terrorism exercises, briefs on terrorist trends, and conducts undercover investigations on product counterfeiting, smuggling and money laundering. Mr. Johnson, who worked previously with the Central Intelligence Agency and U.S. State Department's Office of Counter Terrorism, is a recognized expert in the fields of terrorism, aviation security, crisis and risk management. Mr. Johnson has analyzed terrorist incidents for a variety of media including the Jim Lehrer News Hour, National Public Radio, ABC's Nightline, NBC's Today Show, the New York Times, CNN, Fox News, and the BBC. Mr. Johnson has authored several articles for publications, including Security Management Magazine, the New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times. He has lectured on terrorism and aviation security around the world, including the Center for Research and Strategic Studies at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, France. He represented the U.S. Government at the July 1996 OSCE Terrorism Conference in Vienna, Austria.
Arun Gupta is an independent reporter. He has written for dozens of publications including The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Nation, the Raw Story, and Jacobin. He is the author of the forthcoming book, Bacon as a Weapon of Mass Destruction: A Junk-Food-Loving Chef's Inquiry into Taste (The New Press). His latest article is "Meet the New Muslim Ban, Harsher Than the Old Muslim Ban," which states: "The new order appears to be narrower in scope, at least initially. It claims to exclude 'categories of aliens that have prompted judicial concerns.' Green-card holders, dual citizens, and Syrian refugees are exempt from the blanket ban. Iraq is no longer on the list of affected countries, and the order allows for exceptions from the other targeted countries and for refugees on a 'case-by-case' basis. Nonetheless, on March 7, the state of Hawaii filed suit in federal court on behalf of the state and Ismail Elshikh, PhD, the Imam of the Muslim Association of Hawaii. The state claims Trump's order harms Elshikh by preventing his Syrian mother-in-law from visiting her family in Hawaii. The state asserts the Trump Administration is acting 'arbitrarily and capriciously' in its choice of countries on the banned list. The revised order affords the Trump Administration wide latitude in broadening the scope of the order later on, with language that will allow the profiling of entire countries so as to exclude their citizens. It states that the U.S. government will conduct 'a worldwide review' to determine what 'additional information will be needed from each foreign country' to assess the application of any person from one of the specified countries seeking admission to the United States so as to ensure they are 'not a security or public-safety threat.' The order adds that 'At any point … the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, may submit to the President the names of any additional countries recommended for similar treatment.' And, 'The Secretary of Homeland Security may conclude that certain information is needed from particular countries even if it is not needed from every country.' Put together, this language could enable wildly differing criteria for nationals from one country to the next, as well as countries coming on and off the list at the whim of the White House."

On The Monitor this week:
- The case for the impeachment of President Trump with Catherine Ross
- A one state "solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian question with Ali Abunimah
More about this week's guests:
Catherine Ross is a professor at the George Washington University Law School, where she specializes in constitutional law (with particular emphasis on the First Amendment), family law, and legal and policy issues concerning children. She is the author of Lessons in Censorship: How Schools and Courts Subvert Students' First Amendment Rights (Harvard University Press, 2015). The Fourth Edition of her family law casebook, Contemporary Family Law (Foundation Press/West) (co-authored with Douglas Abrams et al.) was also released in 2015. She is spending the 2015-2016 academic year as a Visiting Scholar at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. Last week she took part in a press conference with groups organizing ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org that featured a petition of 850,000 signers urging Congress to initiate an impeachment investigation into President Trump's corrupt business dealings.
Quote: "President Trump has likely been violating the Constitution since the moment he was inaugurated because he refused to divest himself of ownership of the Trump Organization and all of its businesses and properties. Profits from those business interests, we learned a week ago, are expressly being held for him. This arrangement appears to violate Article II, Section 1 (7) of the Constitution, known as the domestic emoluments clause, which is squarely aimed at preventing presidential corruption, and which has not received sufficient attention in the last few weeks. President Trump has challenged the rule of law by saying laws about ethics and corruption don't apply to him — but he can't say that about the domestic emoluments clause because its language is clear. It applies only to the President. It says that the President 'shall not receive' any 'Emolument' from the federal government or the government of any state during his term in office, thus limiting the material benefit of his office to his salary. Emoluments were defined broadly by the dictionaries at the time the Constitution was written. Emoluments are not just payments, profits or bribes, though all of those are emoluments that have been known to flow to office-holders. Emoluments also include advantages, opportunities, and what today we would call sweetheart deals. The Trump hotel lease in D.C., and the federal government's planned lease of space in Trump Tower in New York both implicate the domestic emoluments clause, as does the Trump Organization aggressive plan for expansion within the U.S. that will entangle the company with every level of government as they seek zoning, construction and environmental permits, approvals or waivers, as well as tax breaks that often accompany development plans. The bar against domestic emoluments is mandatory — Congress cannot waive it. Who is to enforce the constitutional mandate? It is not clear who could sue for enforcement. Impeachment is not to be undertaken lightly, but it is the remedy the Constitution provides.
Ali Abunimah is co-founder of the Electronic Intifada. He is the author of The Battle for Justice in Palestine, now out from Haymarket Books and One Country: A Bold-Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse. You can see his most recent articles and interviews here including the recent piece "Trump-Netanyahu meeting lays ground for one-state solution"
Quote: "U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a joint press conference at the White House on Wednesday morning, before going into their much-anticipated bilateral meeting. Asked about whether the U.S. was still wedded to a two-state solution, Trump broke with longstanding orthodoxy. I am looking at two states or one state, and I like the one that both parties like,' the president said. On settlements, Trump reaffirmed to Netanyahu, 'I'd like to see you hold back on settlements for a little bit.' Conventional opinion views any Trump abandonment of the two-state solution as capitulation to Israel's far right wing that is pressuring Netanyahu from within his coalition to annex the West Bank outright. The annexationists may hope that the Palestinians could eventually be pushed out, or forced to live under some form of Jordanian jurisdiction — the so-called Jordanian option. That may even be the motivation of the anti-Palestinian extremists in the Trump administration, but the analysis fails to take into account the growing support amongst Palestinians for a democratic one-state solution. Trump has at least acknowledged that Palestinians must agree to the terms of any agreement. And Palestinians will not submit voluntarily to Netanyahu's conditions. Israel could not just annex the West Bank on its own terms. Pressure would escalate — as it did on South Africa — to end openly declared apartheid. Indeed there could be no greater boost to the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. Even the Israeli president recognizes this. Speaking at a conference on Monday, Reuven Rivlin argued for annexation of the West Bank, but said it must mean full citizenship for Palestinians. 'Applying sovereignty to an area gives citizenship to all those living there,' Rivlin said. 'There is no [separate] law for Israelis and for non-Israelis.' 'It must be clear: If we extend sovereignty, the law must apply equally to all,' Rivlin added."
The music before and after the interview with Ali is "Hopeless Town" by Rasha Nahas. You can hear/watch it here.

On The Monitor this week:
- Is Wall Street in the Saddle? We discuss Hillary Clinton's relationships with Wall Street and Donald Trump's conflicts of interest with Nomi Prins
- What of the media's role in understanding our elections? We talk about AT&T's proposed acquisition of Time Warner with Victor Pickard
More about this week's guests:
Nomi Prins is author of All the Presidents' Bankers: The Hidden Alliances That Drive American Power and just wrote the piece "Waking Up in Hillary Clinton's America: Wall Street in the Saddle" for TomDispatch.com.
Quote: "At the heart of American political consciousness right now lies a soul-crushing reality for millions of distraught Americans: the choices for president couldn't be feebler or more disappointing. On the one hand, we have a petulant, vocabulary-challenged man-boar of a billionaire, who hasn't paid his taxes, has regularly left those supporting him holding the bag, and seems like a ludicrous composite of every bad trait in every bad date any woman has ever had. On the other hand, we're offered a walking photo-op for and well-paid speechmaker to Wall-Street CEOs, a one-woman money-raising machine from the 1 percent of the 1 percent, who, despite a folksiness that couldn't look more rehearsed, has methodically outplayed her opponent. … In this election, Hillary has crafted her talking points regarding the causes of the last financial crisis as weapons against Trump, but they hardly begin to tell the real story of what happened to the American economy. The meltdown of 2007-2008 was not mainly due to 'tax policies that slashed taxes on the wealthy' or a 'failure to invest in the middle class,' two subjects she has repeatedly highlighted to slam the Republicans and their candidate. It was a byproduct of the destruction of the regulations that opened the way for a too-big-to-fail framework to thrive. Under the presidency of Bill Clinton, Glass-Steagall, the Depression-era act that once separated people's bank deposits and loans from any kind of risky bets or other similar actions in which banks might engage, was repealed under the Financial Modernization Act of 1999. In addition, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act was passed, which allowed Wall Street to concoct devastating unregulated side bets on what became the subprime crisis. … One possible contender for treasury secretary in a new Clinton administration would be Bill Clinton's Under Secretary of Domestic Finance and Obama's Commodity Futures Trading Commission chairman, Gary Gensler (who was — I'm sure you won't be shocked — a Goldman Sachs partner before entering public service). These, then, are typical inhabitants of the Clinton inner circle and of the political-financial corridors of power. … Among the emails sent to John Podesta that were posted by WikiLeaks is an article I wrote for TomDispatch on the Clintons' relationships with bankers. 'She will not point fingers at her friends,' I said in that piece in May 2015. 'She will not chastise the people who pay her hundreds of thousands of dollars a pop to speak or the ones who have long shared the social circles in which she and her husband move.' I also suggested that she wouldn't call out any CEO by name. To this day she hasn't." Prins' past pieces include "Madoff in the White House? How Trump's Conflicts of Interest Could Become Ours."
Victor Pickard is associate professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. He is author of the book America's Battle for Media Democracy: The Triumph of Corporate Libertarianism and the Future of Media Reform. He also recently wrote the piece "Media and Politics in the Age of Trump."
Quote: "AT&T's proposed acquisition of Time Warner would create a media behemoth with dangerous concentrations of political and economic power. With one corporation controlling so much production and distribution of news and entertainment media, this vertical integration poses significant potential hazards for millions of consumers and could harm the health of our democratic discourse. AT&T is already one of the nation's largest internet and phone providers, as well as the largest pay-TV operator with its recent acquisition of DirecTV. By acquiring Time Warner's media empire, which includes CNN, HBO, and Warner Bros, AT&T can privilege its own programs over competitors' and prevent other internet and cable companies from having access to them. Such a merger deserves close regulatory scrutiny from the Justice Department. It raises serious antitrust concerns, especially since the lack of competition resulting from such mega-mergers can lead to higher costs and fewer choices for consumers. Much of the American media system is already plagued by prohibitive costs and poor services and this merger would not make things better — indeed, it could make things considerably worse. It could also spur a new wave of mergers between other content and distribution companies, encouraging an already highly concentrated media system to become more consolidated. In the coming weeks and months, we will no doubt hear from industry representatives that such a merger would provide many public benefits. But historically this has rarely been the case. Moreover, there's growing pressure from antitrust circles — as well as activists and leading politicians — to reverse the trend toward vertically-integrated oligopolies. This proposed deal may provide a crucial test case for whether the era of new media monopolies has begun to recede."
Pickard is also co-editor, with Robert McChesney, of the book Will the Last Reporter Please Turn out the Lights: The Collapse of Journalism and What Can Be Done To Fix It.


text:
I was 15 and still at school. That much is certain. What I was doing in the last Easter weekend of the Second World War is a matter of memory; and memory, I learnt as a biographer, is very unreliable.
It must have been that Easter that I took my first communion, and we marched in our Officers Training Corps uniform to Croydon parish church. As Whitgift school was a church foundation, we were prepared by a bishop and ordained by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Of the uniforms and the march I am sure, and this was years before I read The Good Soldier Schweik and noted a parallel. But surely we did not march, as memory dictates, with rifles and fixed bayonets? That must have been either Croydon's Victory in Europe or Victory in Japan parade.
False memories irritate me profoundly. Two in particular remind me of memory's tricks. One is walking for the first time - plainly an induced memory from enthusiastic female handlers, unless I was a very late developer. And the other is being lifted on my father's shoulders on the roof of Croydon Airport Hotel to see Neville Chamberlain land and hear him say: "I have in my hand a piece of paper that means peace in our time."
Unhappily, he never said that, and at 200 yards away we could not have heard him any way. I was there, but the embellished yet impacted memory must be induced or imagined, presumably from later newsreels. My older brother, who served in the ranks for the whole war, now says that he can no longer remember which of his tales are true and which he made up. Unfortunately, this has made him more cautious in retelling fine stories.
What I do remember of that Easter weekend is that we all knew that the war in Europe was coming to an end, and we schoolboys regretted that we would miss it. Yet we had a concealed anxiety that elder brothers, even some fathers, who had survived it all so far - North Africa, Italy, the D-Day landings - would soon all be shipped off to Burma to fight slowly through China. This fear of a second, slow and terrible blood-letting was widespread and is now largely forgotten.
I turned pacifist two years later, but even so could never see condemnation of the dropping of the two atom bombs as a simple matter. A shudder of horror and "thank God it's over" was then, I think, the dominant emotion.
This recollection is clouded over by later knowledge of the Cold War arms race and the crazy progress to mutual deterrent over-kill. At the time, I was more affected by the death of a friend killed by a V2 rocket while fetching the Sunday newspapers - one Harold Tevison (one of those "boys who will never grow old").
Mostly, though, boys like me rather enjoyed the war. We did not realise at first how serious it was, and when we did, we were excited more than frightened, even though Croydon was in the path of everything.
Of holidays and luxuries, we hardly knew what we were missing. And we had one great pleasure that my sons could never enjoy: with wartime petrol restrictions, the roads were free and open and we swarmed on our bikes all across the south of England, admiring the military hardware thinly hidden in the North Downs woods of Surrey.
It must have been Easter 1945 that led to some tension in my gang, most of whom did not go to a private school. They resented me being Awol from our usual weekend ride for the sake of uniform, school and communion.
My schoolfriends and I began to wonder if, after the end of the war, there would be Officer Training Corps camps any more, or the entertaining cock-ups of school manoeuvres. Masters returning from the wars, invalided out, shared our mockery (indeed fed it) of the old fellows of 1914 vintage who ran the school OTC. I was very relieved when one of them told me that the need for the summer harvest camp would continue for several years.
That was my holiday, and nothing has been so enjoyable ever since: 10 hours a day in the fields, for six or eight weeks, for four years. I worked on Lord Berners' estate and it was that summer that his estate manager, Robert Heber Percy, burnt Faringdon House's blackout curtains on VE night in the market square. But the blackout regulations continued for several weeks (was it fear of kamikaze pilots?) so the police got him that time, although prosecutions for black-market offences had failed.
I remember more vividly the day war broke out. We were taking a late summer holiday at Swanage, following my father to bowling competitions. My mother and I had begun to walk back from the beach to the hotel for lunch when we heard a man shouting. Floss said something like: "God, it's your father."
He was in his panama hat and white bowling jacket, very red-faced and shouting angrily: "It's all a damned lie! Don't believe them!" as he tore down news placards saying "War declared."
"They are just trying to sell papers," he bellowed. Harry ignored the Second World War. He retreated into his insurance work and his club. There were many like him to whom 1914 was the war, and this other one profaned the memory of "the glorious dead".
When I was a little boy I believed that churches were war memorials and that Christ had died for us all at Passchendaele. When I prayed that Sunday, 50 years ago, I was probably still thinking of the dead of the trenches. A few weeks later we saw the film, just spliced in without warning to a routine newsreel, of the opening up of Belsen. We wept in the alley outside. I think that started me thinking.

Well hello! It's been a while since I last streamed a video game while sipping a libation, because I'm afraid I've been out of town doing Important Retronauts Things for the past week. Today, however, I'm settled back in, and it's time to get back on the wagon. Uh, so to speak.
This afternoon I'll be getting together with Ben and Benj to record another episode of Retronauts East (it's all about SEGA this time), and once they're gone I'll be hitting the digital airwaves to broadcast a classic (cult classic, at least) NES game: Power Blade by Taito. Join me at 5:30 p.m. ET (2:30 PT) for a look back at this cloniest of Mega Man clones, which I've always had a soft spot for. It's no masterpiece, but it's a totally solid 2D platform shooter with some enjoyable upgrade mechanics and that wonderful 8-bit Japanese trend of combining loopy weirdness with sci-fi futurism.
But that's not all!
Rather than focusing strictly on Power Blade, I'll also be looking at its Famicom counterpart, Power Blazer. I've heard Power Blazer was wildly different from Power Blade (and generally not as refined), so I picked up a copy in Japan to discover simultaneously with you, my friends. We'll start with the U.S. game before moving along to the Famicom original, because regression is apparently all the rage these days.
So please join me this fine afternoon for a stream of a fine game and some fine gin (gin optional). I'll be streaming on YouTube per usual beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET.

99% Cosmetic Hyaluronic Acid Powder Pure Hyaluronan Skin Anti Aging Wrinkle Joint Serum 1000g 1kg High Quality
|45 days Money back Returns accepted if product not as described, buyer pays return shipping; or keep the product & agree refund with seller.
On-time Delivery
Guarantees: On-time Delivery 60 days
–Hyaluronic Acid (Hyaluronan, Hyaluronate, HA)–
Package Includes :1000g 99% High Quality Hyaluronic Acid Powder
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring compound that is found throughout most of the human body. The average 154 pound person has approximately 15 grams of hyaluronic acid in his or her body, with about 5 of those grams being used up and re-synthesized every day.
The properties of hyaluronic acid were first discovered in the 1930's by a scientist named Karl Meyer. Hyaluronic acid plays a major role in synovial joints, as it makes up a large part of synovial fluid. It is also a big part of tissue repair. It is also often used in a number of medical applications, being extremely useful primarily because it makes up such a significant part of cartilage, skin, and eyeballs (particularly the vitreous humor).Please be aware of fake products.Our store ID is one one nine four five six five. Hyaluronic acid plays a very big role in many different cosmetic products. It has an especially important role to epithelial tissue (outer surface of the skin) because it promotes the growth of keratinocytes and retinoic acid (vitamin A metabolite) and it helps collagen synthesis. Hyaluronic acid is also used to treat articular disorders in primarily racing and work horses.
Hyaluronic acid contained in the skin diminishes significantly as humans age. This is the reason for babies having such soft and delicate skin, and also the reason for wrinkles forming as people age.
Here are just some of the benefits to using this wonderful substance:
- Keeps skin plump and smooth
- Can reduce signs of aging
- It has been found to increase hydration of skin
- Improves elasticity of skin
- May prevent UV damage to skin
- Can reverse free radical damage to skin
1 gram will make about 4 oz of a serum.

Student Roadmap to Success
Our Student Roadmap to Success plots the course of a student's journey from cradle to career. The StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network identified six core outcome areas that are most critical for the educational success of every child.
All of our efforts focus on these six cradle-to-career outcomes:
Kindergarten readiness
Kindergarten readiness is closely linked to future academic achievement and life success. Children develop fundamental skills and responses in early childhood that build strong foundations for reading, counting and social interactions. As a child's kindergarten readiness scores improve, studies show that third-grade reading and math scores rise accordingly.
Early grade reading
Literacy is critical to a child's academic success, and early grade reading is particularly crucial. Children in the early grades begin to transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Reading at grade level is one of the strongest predictors of later success in school, with data showing that disparities in literacy during the early grades are linked to persistent achievement gaps.
Middle grade math
Middle grade math has become an important milestone for high school persistence, academic achievement, college attainment and general preparedness for the workforce. Research indicates that students successfully completing middle grade math perform better in geometry, more advanced algebra, trigonometry and calculus. A child's math curriculum also has a strong link to college enrollment.
High school graduation
High school graduation is associated with higher earnings, college attendance and graduation, and other measures of personal and social welfare. Educational attainment has been shown to predict health, marital outcomes and crime. Increasing the educational attainment of one generation improves the next generation's academic and social outcomes.
Postsecondary enrollment
Postsecondary enrollment marks a critical transition in the cradle-to-career pipeline. Students, particularly those of color and in low-income households, are less likely to pursue education beyond high school. As more careers require technical knowledge, it's critical to ensure access to options and financial aid information for four-year universities, two-year programs and technical certifications.
Postsecondary completion
Postsecondary degrees are more valuable than ever. Workers with at least a bachelor's degree can earn more than do individuals with only a high school diploma. College attainment also is linked to improved health and social outcomes. Society benefits from a more educated population, including lower rates of criminal behavior and more community involvement. Connecting post-secondary graduates to good jobs is the ultimate goal of the cradle-to-career pipeline. Being employed within a year of graduation is crucial for achieving self-sufficiency.
Our approach cuts across organizations and sectors to achieve powerful, enduring systems change. But it does not generate impact overnight. A combination of partners, practices and patience are all vital for continuous improvement to lead to sustainable results. Over time, communities are able to identify gaps along the continuum and align resources to maximize impact for the success of every child, cradle to career.

Oh, dear... I'm running out of spanish words... So OBVIOUSLY I don't own Dora the Explorer :D Okay now, where did we leave this? Riiight, Diego violated Boots off-screen and Swiper decided he was gonna steal the magical vine and stuff...
Oh, dear... I'm running out of spanish words... So OBVIOUSLY I don't own Dora the Explorer :D
Okay now, where did we leave this? Riiight, Diego violated Boots off-screen and Swiper decided he was gonna steal the magical vine and stuff...
"Do I really have to say this?" Dora complained.
"Do it or else you'll never count anything in Spanish again... unless it's celery!" Swiper threatened deviously.
"Uh, celery?"
"Do it or I keel you."
"Fine... DEIGO! I'M BEING ATTACKED BY A... A... DELICIOUS FURRY!" The words were hard to get out, Diego and furries weren't a good combination. She cringed thinking of his poor victims, but smiled because it reminded her of the situation Boots was in. In seconds, he was there with his magical vine.
"Well hello there, Foxy!" He said in his creepiest voice, "Wanna ride my vine?" Swiper smiled and laughed maniacally, "Oh, do I? Of course!" Dragging Dora along, he hopped on board.
The trio arrived in the tree house, Boots was huddled in the corner, looking pretty scruffy.
"Haha! What's up, Boots?" Dora asked cheerfully!
"O-Okane ga nai..." He replied, confusing Dora, "What the fuck, Boots? That's not even Spanish!"
"I gave it up! I speak Japanese now!"
"OMG Boots! We're already having enough trouble with Kai Lan! Don't you go speaking Japanese too!" She yelled, infuriated.
"Kai Lan speaks CHINESE, you overrated whore! At least she's nice to HER animal friends!"
"THAT'S IT! Swiper, I'm with you, Diego has corrupted Boots! I'm taking back whats mine!"
"Not so fast, Dora. He's mine now. If you weren't such a trashy cousin, he'd be swingin' in banana trees right now instead of being my slave" Diego grabbed a machete and readied to defend himself.
"Ya know, I think I saw an anime a little like this once." Swiper said thoughtfully.
"You! Don't point out references like that! I'll have to remove your tounge if you keep referencing things that I'm doing to you! That's right Foxy, you're next in my line of slaves!"
And so it began. The final battle, I think.
LOL. I do believe this is the worst thing I've ever written. Even so, rereading this kinda makes me laugh. I was suprised to see 2011 comments, so I had to update. I really didn't expect people to like this! Brownie points to those who got the anime reference- though you'd have to be crazy like me to know it ;)
Okane ga nai means "No money" :D
LEAVE ME THE REVIEWS! I LIKE YOUR BRAIN MUSINGS! o_o I just realized this was supposed to be the conclusion... screw that. Four is an even number. Let's have four chapters.

Learning Targets: Don't leave here today without knowing how to calculate and use NOMINAL GDP REAL GDP DEFLATOR
What does GDP measure? The size of the economy in a given year! It meaures the value of all goods made in that country in a single year. If GDP increases, the economy is growing. UNLESS …? REAL GDP vs. NOMINAL GDP
How might GDP mislead? GDP = the total value (in $) of all products created in a country in a year. Is it possible that GDP could increase even IF there was NO increase in the number of goods and services produced in a country in a given year? – THAT CAN HAPPEN…HOW? INFLATION!
Imagine an economy with one product. 2013 GDP Country X produced and sold10 cars for $ 50,000 each Country X's GDP in 2013 was $500,000 (50,000 *10) 2014 GDP Country X again produced and sold 10 cars, but this year, because all prices rose by 20%, they cost $60,000 each. Country X's GDP in 2014 was $600,000 Country X's NOMINAL GDP increased but did it's economy REALLY IMPROVE? NO
Calculating REAL GDP vs. NOMINAL GDP In order to get a "real" idea of GDP we need to take out the effects of inflation on prices. We calculate REAL GDP by valuing CURRENT Production at BASE YEAR Prices. By calculating the REAL GDP we can see REAL Growth in production from one year to the next, without being fooled by inflation.
Calculating REAL vs. NOMINAL GDP You Need to Know Formulas The REAL = Nominal - Inflation 1. Nominal GDP (yr X) = Quantity(yr X) * Price(yr X) (Both Q and P are for the same year) 2.To calculate Real GDP, pick a BASE YEAR for your prices. 2.This BASE YEAR remains constant!!! REAL GDP (yr X) = Quantity (yr X) * Price (base year) For Base Year: Real GDP = Nominal GDP
CALCULATING THE GROWTH RATE IN GDP Now that we've calculated real GDP, we can calculate the "rate" of real GDP growth. Find the % Change % Change = (Real GDP yr 2 – Real GDP yr 1/ GDP year 1) *100 This rate of change in REAL GDP is the rate at which the economy is really growing. The U.S. economy must grow at 2% per year to absorb new workers (keep unemployment from increasing)
Is this a good indicator? What about measuring an economy over time? What Problems will result with this format? Real vs. Nominal GDP NominalReal
Calculating the Deflator The Deflator shows the amount of inflation from year to year DEFLATOR (yr X) = NOMINAL GDP (yr X) REAL GDP (yr X) The deflator shows the degree to which prices have changed over a period of time. (INFLATION) If… Nominal GDP = Quantity (yr X) * Prices (yr x) and… Real GDP = Quantity (yr X) * Prices (base year) and Deflator = Nominal GDP (yr X)/ Real (yr X) What is the Deflator in the Base year?? In other words… Yr X = Base Year
Calculating Real GDP using the Deflator Real GDP(yr X) = Nominal GDP (yr X) *100/deflator (yr X) "DEFLATE" ANY NOMINAL NUMBER BY MULTIPLYING BY 100/deflator "INFLATE" ANY NOMINAL VALUE BY MULTIPLYING BY deflator/100
REAL vs. NOMINAL GDP You Need to Know Formulas 1. Nominal GDP (yr X) = Quantity(yr X) * Price(yr X) (Both Q and P are for the same year) 2. REAL GDP (yr X) = Quantity (yr X) * Price (base year) For Base Year: Real GDP = Nominal GDP 3. DEFLATOR (yr X) = NOMINAL GDP (yr X) REAL GDP (yr X) 4. Now that we've calculated real GDP, how do we calculate the "rate" of real GDP growth? Find the % Change in REAL GDP % Change = (yr 2 – yr 1/year 1) *100 4.
Table 2 Real and Nominal GDP Copyright©2004 South-Western Deflator shows the change in Prices 2002 Inflation = (171-100/100)*100= 71%

GDP vs GNP Gross Domestic Product-produced in a country – Y= C+I+G+ (E-M) Gross National Product-produced by a country – GNP= GDP + (Net investment income) – Ie. If America pays more $ in interest to foreign countries than it receives from U.S. Assets held abroad, then its GNP will be lower than its GDP.

Just curious what everyone's go to game is. What do you play on a regular basis? For me I like scratch offs and play PB and MM.
For those who play the daily number type games 3 digits daily, is it worth it to play or do you think you have to bet too much on these games to eventually profit?
Thanks for any insight (:
I play MM W/MP PB W/ PP
my states 6/49 game and JC5
almost never play scratchers.
Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds -- Charles Mackay LL.D.
3 digit
Faro, it's all even money bets, no house edge until the last three cards.
Oh wait, the casinos took it out for that reason.
Seriously, Pick 5 jackpot game.
Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any.
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

I love scratchers too but I only play the $10 and $20 ones when I got that kind of disposable income. I usually buy at least 2 or 3 tickets cause the odds are better, but my games I play every drawing is MM and PB. MM I get the megaplier and PB I do not power play

Phoenix Real Estate Services
The Primary Reasons for Hiring Phoenix Real Estate Attorneys
People who want to buy or sell real estate or develop real estate are required to make sure that their transactions are legal. Because many people may not be sure of what the law requires of them, they often choose to hire Phoenix real estate attorneys to help them with this process. By hiring an attorney, they can make sure that they are following the law and that they can enjoy the benefit of their real estate transaction.
Most people look forward to owning a home. After they find a house for their family, they want to sign the contract and move in as quickly as possible. However, they may not be sure of the details of their contract. We can read this document for them, inform them of its details, and help them negotiate any changes to the contract's wording if necessary. As their real estate attorneys, it is our job to make sure that our clients sign the best contract possible.
Video: Phoenix Real Estate Lawyer Bert Millett Can Help With Distressed Real Estate
Bert Millett discusses how he can help with distressed real estate, foreclosure,
property law, easements and any other real estate legal needs.
It is also our objective to ensure that they follow the law as they sell their property. Clients who are not knowledgeable in Arizona real estate law risk being taken advantage of by unscrupulous buyers. They stand to lose money to such individuals if they proceed without legal representation. An Arizona real estate lawyer can compose a binding contract with the required disclosures that works in our clients' favor.
Moreover, our real estate lawyers stand ready to take care of any real estate disputes that our clients may have. These disputes sometimes occur when people get divorced. If our clients seek to sell their real estate because of their divorce, we can ensure that the sale is consistent with the divorce decree.
Clients may also have disputes with their insurance companies. If they file a claim for which their insurer is unwilling to pay, we can step in and work out the dispute with the insurance company on our clients' behalf. They do not have to worry about being victimized or ignored by their insurer; we can communicate with that company to work out the issue.
Because Arizona real estate law can be complicated, people benefit from hiring real estate lawyers. Contact the PHX real estate lawyers at Gunderson, Denton & P.C. today at 480-655-7440.
Q: How many days notice is needed to evict a non lease holding party in a residential property?
A: It is much the same process to evict someone who is in breach of lease as it is to evict someone with no possessory right to live there. Your first step is delivering a 5-day notice. If she doesn't leave voluntarily, you get a court date to evict.
If you are being threatened with physical violence you could seek a restraining order. But but advised, you could get served with a restraining order as well and be required to leave – even though you are the leaseholder.

Despite the fact that they just signed running back C.J. Anderson to a four-year extension, re-signed Ronnie Hillman, and drafted Utah's Devontae Booker, the Denver Broncos might not be done bolstering the position.
According to 104.3 the FAN's Cecil Lammey, they've also reached out to former All-Pro RB Arian Foster.
Although he's the Houston Texans all-time leading rusher, Foster is coming off a season that saw him appear in just four games, due to an Achilles rupture. However, there isn't an active RB as experienced in Gary Kubiak's zone running scheme than Foster—nor one more prolific.
Thus, the Broncos are kicking the tires. Depending on where he's at health-wise, Foster could serve as a great addition to Denver's backfield, if he's willing to step in knowing he's a role player.
By the time the regular season kicks off in September, Foster will be 30 years old—the traditional point of demarcation and decline for the vast majority of running backs.
But, with question marks at quarterback, you can believe the Broncos are committed to leaning on the running game as the focal point of the offense in 2016. Control the ball, and the clock, and let the defense win the game.
Adding Foster to the mix, provided its at the right price, could be a major boon. But GM John Elway isn't about to break the bank for Foster. The Broncos already have a lot of talent—and money—tied up at the position.

HA design
Hi Experts,
This is a design requirement. Please find the attached two network diagram, one is Logical Diagram (HA Design.pdf) and Other is the Physical wiring of this Logical Design Diagram (HA Design - Physical wiring.pdf)
As you can see all the devices are dual like I have 2 Cisco ASA FW, 2 Cisco 1841 Router, 2 Cisco 3560 L3 switch and 2 Cisco 2960 switch. This is to achieve High Availability in the devices and avoid single point of failures
As refered in Diagram (HA Design - Physical wiring.pdf) is this the way devices has to be connected. If yes, then again there is a single point of failures in the HUB-1 and HUB-2.
I am worried whether I am following the Industry standard for achieving HA Network.
I seek your valuable response and help me on this

After checking out Feather Plume Falls, I took Piegan Pass Trail back to the trailhead, which shared a section of it with the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). Along the way, I crossed a couple of wide streams. Unlike the high Cataract Creek water that forced me to turn around while I was continuing on the CDT earlier near the falls, these parts of the creek had small suspension bridges that allowed hikers to walk over. Mt. Gould was always visible while hiking in the area. Until I started hiking east.

SAMMY Lee reckons Bolton can use the UEFA Cup to kickstart their faltering Premiership campaign.
The Trotters tonight host Macedonian league leaders Rabotnicki Kometal following a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
Lee hopes victory will ease pressure on his side who have made a desperate start to the season - sitting 19th in the table.
"I think it's massive that we progress and I firmly believe that when you get a run of success going then you can build upon that in every competition," he said.
"You cannot switch on and off and whatever side I put out is always going to be the strongest Bolton team."
Progression to the UEFA Cup group stages would see the Trotters play four games, and Lee says he would welcome more matches.
"It's always very interesting to pit your wits against the best in Europe and the UEFA Cup has some of the best teams in Europe in it," he said.
"You're up against different cultures and different styles of play and we'll certainly get that against Rabotnicki."
A goalless draw would be enough to ensure Bolton's progress but they face a tough task.

The bookmakers have already installed South Africa as firm favourites to win the three-Test series, but Greenwood, an uncapped player on the Lions' 1997 South African expedition when they triumphed against all odds, claims it would be reckless to dismiss the tourists' chances.
He said: "I've watched a lot of the Super 14 action this year, and they (South Africa) look, fit, strong and quick. But, of course, the Lions have a chance. You look at the calibre of the likely squad, and there are six or seven World XV players."
Greenwood added: "If you've got six or seven World XV players, throw in a few warriors with them and guys who just won't say no, then before you know it you have got half a chance.
"When was the last time a Lions squad travelled as favourites?
"They just don't go as favourites. You go, and you've got to dig deep and find something special.
"Right now, the bookmakers have South Africa as favourites, which would be fair enough."
