For Obama, jobs numbers offer little ammunition
WASHINGTON – It could be worse.
It's a message that President Obama's campaign is unlikely to put on a bumper sticker, but increasingly it appears to be at the heart of Team Obama's effort to cast doubt about the likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney, while simultaneously explaining why the U.S. economy continues to struggle to gain steam.
This morning, the Labor Department announced 163,000 jobs were added to payrolls in July, while the unemployment rate ticked up from 8.2% to 8.3%. The numbers were better than most analysts were predicting ahead of the release of the jobs report, but it's hardly the kind of data Obama needs to bolster his position with voters that he's better equipped to handle the economy than his rival.
"Let's acknowledge, we have too many folks out there looking for work," Obama said after the jobs report came out. "We've got more work to do on their behalf — not only to reclaim all the jobs that were lost in the recession, but also to reclaim the kind of financial security that too many Americans felt was slipping away from them for too long."
In recent days, Obama and his team have emphasized their disappointment in the state of the economy, while at the same time heralding strides they've made to shore up an economy that at the beginning of his term was teetering near collapse.
Now, Obama says, the next step to powering the economy is to extend the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for the middle class, while letting them expire for the wealthiest Americans — a move that Obama insists will help working families and reduce deficits. Romney wants to expand tax cuts even further by reducing marginal tax rates by 20% across the board.
The Romney way would be a repeat of the sort of Bush-era policies that touched off recession that the country is still trying to climb its way out of, Obama argues.
"We are not going to get to where we need to be if we go back to the policies that helped to create this mess in the first place," he said.
The Romney campaign retorts that the Obama economy has been a disaster for the middle class — median household income is down $2,900 and average weekly wages dipped last year for only the fifth time since 1978. And today's report shows unemployment rose in 90% of U.S. cities, Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul notes.
Last week, Obama said during a campaign event in Oakland: "We've tried our plan, and it worked."
Romney and his surrogates immediately glommed onto today's numbers as evidence that it hasn't.
"Today's increase in the unemployment rate is a hammer blow to struggling middle-class families," Romney said in a statement.

sylvian syl·vi·an (sĭl'vē-ən)
Relating to or described by Franciscus Sylvius (Franz de la Boö; 1614-1672), German-born Dutch physician and anatomist, or Jacobus Sylvius (Jaques Dubois; 1478-1555), French anatomist.
Dorsal to the sylvian aqueduct is a layer called the lamina quadrigemina and on this the corpora quadrigemina rest.
She was the daughter of Numitor, to whom his father had bequeathed the kingdom of the sylvian clan.
The most important, and first formed, of these is the sylvian fissure.
Gutter fracture crossing the outer aspect of the frontal lobe, immediately above the level of the right sylvian fissure.
The sylvian fissure is very generally not pronounced; but is particularly well-marked in Lagostomus.
To Numitor, his eldest son, he bequeaths the ancient kingdom of the sylvian family.
There are three or four gyri disposed round each other, of which the lowest surrounds the sylvian fissure.

Recommendation 1: "We are concerned that
two separate European Commission departments dealing with development
aid and humanitarian aid pose problems for linking relief, rehabilitation
and development. Furthermore, clarity is needed on roles and responsibilities
between the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Directorate
General of EuropeAid, Development and Cooperation (DG DEVCO) in
the programming process. The UK Government should seek reassurances
that DG DEVCO, the Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and
Civil Protection (ECHO) and the EEAS are working together in a
coherent and coordinated manner and that anti-poverty objectives
are not being marginalised within the EEAS."
The European External Action Service (EEAS), launched in January
2011, under Baroness Ashton, has taken over responsibility for
drafting country development programmes, with the newly merged
DG DEVCO, under Commissioner Piebalgs, maintaining overall responsibility
for development funding. This new structure has the potential
to deliver a step-change in effectiveness and coherence across
the EU's external actions and a more joined-up EU approach to
security, development and foreign policy.
The UK is pressing the EEAS and DG DEVCO to ensure
external actions stay focused on development and that the EU delivers
a joined-up response on trade, climate change and conflict. We
will continue to work with senior EEAS officials to improve the
EEAS' capacity to deliver our development priorities.
Recommendation 2: "Although the European
Commission has higher administration costs for development than
DFID it is difficult to compare like for like. The Commission
does far more direct work which requires a greater level of administration.
We urge, however, the Government to continue to stress the need
for value for money."
Agree. One of the highest
priorities for the UK is to actively press the EU to reduce its
administrative costs and ensure that all UK aid is achieving value
for money for the British taxpayer.
Recommendation 3: "The UK Government should
push the European Commission to improve its policy capacity, given
its status as the largest supplier of development aid in the world."
Agree. The UK's Multilateral
Aid Review (MAR) identified capacity for development as a reform
priority for the EU. The UK is engaged with the European Commission
on this issue and we will continue to work with the Commission
to improve its ability to recruit and maintain development expertise.
In particular, we will press the Commission, and the European
External Action Service (EEAS), to ensure that staff with the
right level of technical and policy expertise are effectively
deployed, both in Brussels and in EU delegations.
DG DEVCO recently conducted a workload assessment,
aimed at allocating resources and staff with the relevant skills
and experience to appropriate positions. Subsequent DFID research
conducted in country has highlighted some positive changes including
an improvement in the EU's technical and advisory capacity and
an indication that they are recruiting staff with improved skills
and experience in monitoring and evaluation.
The UK will continue to support the Commission in
its plans to improve the policy capacity of the EU in the field
of aid and development. DFID currently seconds between 25 and
30 UK experts into the Commission, the EEAS and related institutions
in areas of strategic performance in order to improve the performance
and value for money of EU aid. The UK will ensure that DFID's
secondment programme supports the necessary improvements in the
EU's policy capacity and works to deliver the UK's development
Recommendation 4: "We welcome the Government's
commitment to improve the bureaucracy of procurement at the European
Commission, but there still seems to be a long way to go. The
Government must put more pressure on the Commission to make further
Agree. The Coalition Government
will continue to press the EU to open up its procurement policy
as the UK has done in order to ensure greater value for money.
In reducing Commission bureaucracy, it will nevertheless be important
to ensure that essential safeguards against fraud and corruption
are not compromised.
Recommendation 5: "It is unacceptable that
only 46% of aid disbursed through European institutions goes to
low income countries. It devalues the concept of aid when so much
of what is defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) goes
to relatively rich countries such as Turkey. We do not agree with
the Government that it should not seek to change the definition
of what qualifies as ODA- money given to higher Middle Income
Countries should not be classified as ODA, nor do we believe it
is right to keep the present definition as a way of fudging the
figures to meet the 0.7% target. The UK must continue to press
for funding to be diverted from those higher middle income countries,
who have their own resources to provide for their people, to give
greater help to the poorest people in the world, including in
lower income countries."
Partially Agree. The UK
agrees with the IDC that the EU should refocus its aid on the
poorest countries and we will continue to push the EU to do so.
However, the UK disagrees that the definition of ODA should be
changed. The ODA definition is long-standing, ensures consistency
of measurement across donor countries and remains the basis for
determining ODA-eligible resource flows. All UK ODA, including
that channelled through the EU, complies with the OECD DAC definition
of ODA. The UK is committed to the 0.7% target on the basis of
the existing definition and has put in place spending plans for
delivery of this commitment on that basis. We should work within
the current definition to avoid the potential criticism of meeting
a target based on methodological change.
EU expenditure outside of the Union covers more than
development aid. It plays an important role in supporting the
reforms of the Arab Spring from its Neighbourhood financial instrument
and its pre-accession instrument also focuses on key reforms,
which are necessary to enable the accession of the Western Balkans
countries, Turkey and Iceland to the EU. The EU's main development
aid instruments, the Development Cooperation Instrument, which
covers Asia and Latin America, and the European Development Fund,
covering African, Caribbean and Pacific countries have a more
traditional development focus.
As a result of successful UK influence, the EU is
reviewing its entire approach to aid: cutting funding to countries
that do not need it, refocusing its aid on results and ensuring
much greater transparency, value for money and accountability.
We will continue to press the EU to refocus its aid on the poorest
Recommendation 6: "The UK has a certain amount
of choice whether it spends its aid bilaterally or through multilaterals.
Although we have acknowledged that there are some problems with
channelling aid through the European Commission for example the
large amount of aid going to middle income countries and its slow
bureaucracy, on balance, we are not convinced it is any worse
than the other multilaterals DFID funds, for example the World
Bank which we have previously reported our concerns. However,
DFID should continue to press the Commission to improve its aid
effectiveness and value for money."
Agree. The UK's Multilateral
Aid Review (MAR) clearly highlighted the need for the EU to take
concrete steps to improve the overall effectiveness and value
for money of its assistance. This has been strongly reinforced
by the recent Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Peer Review
on EU assistance which highlighted the need for further efforts
to meet Busan and other development commitments. The EU is responding
to this, for example through the Agenda for Change, but there
is much more that can be done to improve speed of delivery, results
focus and overall aid quality.
An important element of achieving greater value for
money is ensuring that aid is targeted at the right countries
and right sectors within those countries to best meet the needs
of poor people. The UK supports the Commission's recent proposals
for a further differentiation of their development cooperation
programmes from 2014.
In 2013 the UK will update its assessment of the
value for money provided for UK taxpayers from aid channelled
through multilateral organisations such as the EU, to assess the
changes that have been implemented since the MAR was undertaken
in 2010. We will be looking for clear evidence of progress in
key reform areas such as accountability for results, efficiency
of operations, value for money achieved, the strength of human
resource management and implementation of new EU policies on gender
and climate change.
Recommendation 7: "We need to be careful
that money spent is not directly or indirectly used for the wrong
purposes by the heads of corrupt regimes. We agree with the UK
Government that conditionality should not punish the poorest people
for the sins of their governments."
Agree. The Coalition Government
agrees that aid conditionality in government to government aid
needs to be used judiciously to ensure that the needs of poor
people are met but that aid is not misused by governments. The
UK's approach in cases where we have serious concerns about the
partner government's commitment to poverty reduction and good
governance is to identify alternative delivery channels for aid,
such as non-governmental organisations, to ensure that the poorest
people are not unnecessarily penalised for the sins of others.
We would be equally concerned if a more rigid and inflexible approach
to the use of conditionality, driven by political decisions in
Brussels, resulted in frequent and disruptive interruptions in
high priority, poverty-focused aid programmes in partner countries.
The UK's strengthened approach to budget support
was introduced in July 2011 and includes a more thorough assessment
of each country's commitment to upholding human rights and international
obligations, as well as the country's commitment to combat corruption,
through more robust use of data, both at local and international
level. However, we do not support the introduction of "minimum
standards" which would risk excluding the very countries
that need financial support and where enhanced dialogue and technical
assistance would be likely to have greater impact and result in
greater benefit for poor people.
We welcome the proposals in the 2011 Communication
on 'The Future Approach of EU Budget Support to Third Countries'
concerning their approach to careful assessment of each country's
performance on human rights, democracy and rule of law. We also
support their proposals to raise political governance issues through
their dialogue on budget support with partner governments, with
a clear focus on commitment to fundamental values of human rights,
democracy and the rule of law. We will ensure that this is done
within the framework of agreed country-level dialogue and review
processes, involving all of the main development partners.
Recommendation 8: "We support both the UK
Government and the European Commission's focus on wealth creation
through the private sector. DFID needs to get clarification from
the European Commission on what this means in practice, how it
is to be achieved and in particular, how the Commission intends
to support local business and ensure access to finance for small
to medium sized businesses or entrepreneurs in developing countries."
Agree. As the UK has
done, we are pressing the EU to work more closely with the private
sector and to improve the business environment in developing countries.
We have pressed the Commission to focus on building local institutional
and business capacity; encouraging the development of Small and
Medium Enterprises and Cooperatives; and creating a business environment
conducive to growth through regulatory and legislative framework
The 'Agenda for Change' Communication offers an opportunity
to increase the EU's support for developing competitive local
private sectors and increasing its focus on drivers for growth
and job creation. Furthermore, the next long-term EU budget negotiations
offer a significant opportunity to take advantage of the EU's
capacity to make large scale investments at a regional level and
press for better-focused support for regional economic integration,
which is a high priority for the UK's wealth creation work in
We will work with the Commission on this Agenda at
official level in regular working groups. DG DEVCO has recently
restarted the EU's expert group on private sector development,
which will meet twice a year and will report to Member States
on its implementation of the Agenda for Change commitments and
its wider private sector development programmes. This will provide
clarification on the Commission's activities in practice and will
give the UK a chance to influence its future direction.
In addition, the Commission's recent work on 'blended
finance', where grants are combined with loans from financial
institutions, is an encouraging development. Such initiatives
have the potential to stimulate the private sector by leveraging
more investment into developing countries and by supporting the
infrastructure needed for economic growth and development. The
UK will continue to follow the progress of these initiatives with
active interest.
Recommendation 9: "Greater Policy Coherence
in Europe on development is a worthy aim. There has been a slight
improvement in the trade agenda and the Minister is optimistic
on the potential for coherence between Climate Change and Development
Policies. However, as African academics have highlighted, the
reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) could do more good
than anything else. DFID needs to take a greater role in UK Government
discussions highlighting the damage done by both tariff and non-tariff
barriers to the developing world. In particular DFID should press
Commissioner Piebalgs to engage widely in Europe on development,
challenging those with vested interests in the CAP and who oppose
its reform. There needs to be a much tougher approach to joined
up government on development."
Partially agree. The UK
Government agrees that radical reform of the Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP) is required as this could deliver strong benefits
to both the EU and developing countries. Some reform of the CAP
has already occurred; direct payments to farmers have largely
been de-linked from production, and export subsidies have reduced
from 15 billion in 1989 to 166 million in 2010. The
least developed countries, and countries from the African, Caribbean
and Pacific who have signed Economic Partnership Agreements, have
duty free and quota free access to the EU market.
DFID is already strongly linked in with cross-government
discussions with DEFRA on the CAP. Development objectives are
fully captured in the UK approach and DFID argues these development
objectives robustly and consistently. We agree however that the
EU could provide greater policy coherence between their agricultural
policy and development policy. The UK government will continue
to look for opportunities to press the EU and other Member States
to make further progress in this area
As the Committee noted, DFID already engages with
the Commission to ensure there is a strong focus on developing
countries in EU trade negotiations including Free Trade Agreements.
Recent successes include negotiations on the revised Generalised
System of Preferences regulation, where the UK successfully argued
for an increase in the products covered by the scheme and to limit
the impact of safeguards measures which would have restricted
imports to the EU of products important to many developing countries.
DFID has also been actively engaged throughout the development
of the Trade and Development Communication. In addition to our
response to the Public Consultation, the UK Government coordinated
a joint Ministerial letter with like-minded member states to the
Commission to maximise our influence and ensure key objectives
were realised. The strategy set out in the Communication has taken
many of these points as a result.
Recommendation 10: "We have concerns that
although joint programming has the potential to prevent the overlap
of Member State bilateral programmes and reduce transaction cost
for recipient countries, the European Commission does not necessarily
have the capacity or the expertise to lead the coordination. The
lead donor who coordinates policy for bilateral donors should
be the one with the most experience in the area and a proven track
Agree. Wherever possible
joint programming should be led by the partner country government
and the UK will continue to encourage and support partner governments
to take a lead in donor coordination. We agree that joint programming
should be used where it will add value to existing partnerships,
and should involve the most experienced donor in the area taking
a lead role. Coordination must be pragmatic and sensitive to local
circumstances in the partner country, and we must avoid any inflexible
top-down initiatives which would increase transaction costs in
Brussels, capitals and at the country level.
Joint Programming should only be used to help deliver
maximum aid impact at country level, by simplifying and building
on existing mechanisms, rather than duplicating. This approach
is in line with the Conclusions of the Busan High Level Forum
on Aid Effectiveness, which agreed principles for EU joint programming,
including that it is: "led by the partner country wherever
possible, is based on a partner country's national development
strategy and is aligned to the partner country's strategy and
programming cycles"; "kept simple and pragmatic and
conducted at partner country level in order to respond to specific
needs and the situation on the ground"; "should build
on the comparative advantages of all EU donors"; and "flexible
and avoid parallel processes".
Recommendation 11 "We support the Commission's
proposals for differentiated partnerships and in particular, that
there should be a reduction in the number of countries in which
the Commission has a programme. However, the Commission should
go further. So far the proposals have been focused on the Development
Cooperation Instrument. We believe that this should also cover
countries who receive funding under the European Neighbourhood
Partnership Instrument and those who are members of the African,
Caribbean and Pacific group covered by the European Development
Partially agree. We strongly
support the Commission's intention to refocus its development
aid on the poorest countries and cut bilateral aid to Emerging
Economies and other Upper Middle Income Countries (UMICs), as
they "graduate" from traditional aid relationships.
We expect the Commission to propose similar arrangements for the
EDF. The new Partnership Instrument (PI) will provide mostly
non-ODA funding, at a significantly reduced level, for strategic
cooperation between the better off partner countries and the EU
in areas of mutual interest such as trade and economic cooperation.
We will continue to press the EC to ensure that all EU funding
channels target the poorest people, whether they operate in Low
or Middle Income Countries.
We do not agree that European Neighbourhood Partnership
Instrument (ENPI) should be subject to similar differentiation.
EU activities under the ENPI address both development and important
political priorities. For instance, the EU is playing an important
role in supporting the reforms of the Arab Spring.
Recommendation 12 "Whilst we approve of the
concept of budget support we also recognise that it has its limitations
when countries are emerging from conflict and are fragile. It
is only suitable in countries with sound administrative capacity
and a reasonable record of pluralism and human rights."
Partially agree. We have
considered and indicated our agreement in principle to the EU's
proposals to potentially provide budget support to fragile states,
e.g. Haiti or Sierra Leone, to assist with critical state-building
needs in the form of the new "State Building Contracts".
We will want to review early experiences of this instrument carefully
to ensure that it is well targeted, managed effectively, is not
prone to corruption and achieves positive developmental results
on the ground.
The UK's own approach to fragile states or those
emerging from conflict is that we will only consider the provision
of budget support (or other types of financial aid) if partnership
commitments are met and we assess that budget support can achieve
better results and value for money than other instruments. This
requires a careful assessment of all of the relevant risks and
will often involve the implementation of supporting measures to
mitigate risk such as providing direct UK support to public agencies
in these countries to manage funds effectively and transparently.
These decisions can only be taken on a case-by-case
basis with Ministerial oversight and approval at all of the key
stages of the decision-making and implementation process. We do
not support the introduction of "minimum standards"
of eligibility for either general or sector budget support, but
instead focus on careful and continuous assessment of the credibility
of reform plans and commitment of the partner government to strengthen
standards of public administration and good governance.
Recommendation 13: "We do not support the
European Development Fund (EDF) becoming part of the main European
Commission budget in 2014, six years before the expiry of the
Cotonou Agreement. EDF budgetisation should only be considered
if: there is a shift in European Commission budget funding away
from MICs to the poorest people and the poorest countries; it
can be used as a way to get other member states to contribute
more; and there is thorough consultation with the ACP. The future
of the EDF should be discussed in parallel to the future of EU-
ACP relations."
Disagree. The EDF currently
represents half of all off-budget expenditure and the future of
the EDF will be negotiated as part of the Multiannual Financial
Framework. The Coalition Government is concerned by the lack of
transparency in the proposals to move some contingency budget
lines, worth 28 billion, outside of the budget in the next
Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). The overriding Coalition
Government objective for the MFF negotiations is budgetary restraint
and for this reason, we would wish to see all off-budget lines
placed inside the budget, but without increasing the overall value
of the budget. The UK wants to see all items included in the
budget to ensure proper clarity and sound financial management.
The UK will not accept changes to the EDF which might
prejudice its current effectiveness, focus, allocation criteria
and unique partnership model. The fundamental principles of the
Cotonou Agreement must be upheld.
Recommendation 14: "In light of the results
of DFID's Multilateral Aid Review we are not convinced that the
Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) should get a larger percentage
increase in its funding than the European Development Fund. We
recommend the UK Government negotiates for a smaller increase
to the DCI unless efficiency and effectiveness is significantly
Partially Agree. The UK
opposes increases beyond real growth in any budget headings and
believes that the Commission's proposed funding level for the
Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) in the next Multi-Annual
Financial Framework (MFF), covering the period 2014-2020, is too
high. However, we also think that maintaining or increasing the
proportion of Official Development Assistance (ODA) within a smaller
overall budget is a priority for the MFF. The Government agrees
with the assertion that DCI needs to be more effective and the
Commission's proposals for DCI address many of our concerns about
EU effectiveness: these include the better differentiation between
poor and better off countries, the stated intention to focus on
EU value added and to concentrate on results and increased efficiency.
We will continue to work with the Commission to ensure these
improvements are captured in the new DCI regulation currently
being negotiated by the Council and in the Commission's guidelines
for implementing EU development programmes.
Recommendation 15: "We agree with the Minister
that the UK should continue to lead by example in making progress
towards the 0.7% target. It is only by meeting the target ourselves
can we continue to put pressure on other EU Member States to do
the same, particularly, Germany, France and Italy."
Agree. The UK is on track
to reach 0.7% ODA:GNI from 2013, as set out in the Coalition Programme
for Government. Every EU Member State needs to set out their clear
and precise plans to meet this internationally agreed aid target,
as the UK has done. We will continue to urge others to keep their
promises to the world's poorest and most vulnerable, even in times
of austerity. We will do this through leading by example, through
bilateral exchanges and through opportunities at the EU level
and other international fora.

For those like myself who haven't had any problems or trouble with Apple Maps, it's the better option. This new Google Maps doesn't integrate with the contact list nor offer any voice control options. It's great for those that have trouble with Apple Maps though.
Classic Maps is better check it out guys
This Google Maps is INSANELY GOOD! From the moment I opened it to test a turn by turn everything was placed exactly where I expected. Even though completely different than their orig Apple version - it is so intuitive to use. Every button you see takes you to next logical step. It predicts addresses you're looking for whether you've ever searched it before or not. But if you look up something at home on Google it's loaded and ready to go on ur phone when u get in the car. The voice speaks in a very pleasing relaxed natural tone. Easy to hear in car noise.
If you have AT&T Navigator for $9 a month.. Get rid of it. Waste of $.. This is better and free.
Nice job, Google!! And good for u, Apple, to not fight this. People will actually be swayed from Android simply by this app - exclusive to iPhone!
However, if it didn't get me to correct destinations like some others experience I would be all over google maps.
@iTortrix: Google Maps vs. Apple Maps
...so why, again, did we miss GMaps?
GMaps Pic: http://t.co/n8CQpWwg
...and then, this...
@iTortrix: Apple Maps pic: http://t.co/t2HVGvI4
Well... Here's my take on the new app.
The Good:
1) Notification Center integration is nice! Wish more navigation apps would do that.
2) The interface is different, but it is pretty learnable.
3) Finally, we have the address/POI search support that predicts for you. That's a good thing. Hopefully the SDK will allow increased POI searching on other apps that use Google's mapping.
The bad:
1) No iPad support. As expected for Google, iPad support is lacking in another app upon launch. Must have been a rush job. Expect the universal app in 2-3 months...
2) The turn-by-turn directions timing can be off by a few seconds. Literally I was only instructed to turn beyond halfway on multiple intersections. Not good! (Yes, yes, not a great idea to solely reliant on GPS for driving, just explaining differences from experience).
3) No bicycle directions. Google has a really good set of bike routes, but fails to utilize it on iOS... There's a few free apps that will do this, and one even uses Google.
Then, you've intrigued me with the cycle app. I have CycleMeter. Is that the one you're talking about?
But it's available for iOS6 only...

National Journal Declares Debate A "Tie" With Time Still On The Clock
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
With more than 20 minutes still to go in the October 16 presidential debate, the National Journal declared the town hall meeting between President Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney a "tie."
From the Journal article, which bore the headline, "Who Won the Debate? Obama, Romney Tie in Presidential Showdown":
Who won? The cheap answer is Obama because his goal following a catastrophically sluggish first debate was so clear: Show some life. And, indeed, the president aggressively criticized Romney, labeling him a hypocrite and a liar who favors the rich at the expense of the middle class and poor.
But Romney got his licks in, too, wrapping a miserable economy around the incumbent's neck. "The middle class is getting crushed by the policies of a president who does not understand what it takes to get the economy working again," Romney said.
Bottom line: Call it a tie. Obama and Romney scored points while turning off independent voters with their point-scoring.

The Victory Lap.
Fist-pumping (and climbing) across the States.
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Saturday, January 5, 2013
Are We There Yet?
But we're a bit closer. Our planned departure date up until Monday of last week was Friday the 4th. As of last Monday, it became Monday the 7th. this way we'd have an additional weekend to prepare, and we would skip the weekend traffic. We started packing (basically) two days ago. The downstairs looks like this:
|This'll all fit in Günther right?
We feel that we are devising the best system possible for extended travel. We have compiled a series of different-sized containers. the Idea is that each container will have a different type of item in them so that we can both keep track of everything pretty easily, but also move things in and out of the car quickly. It helps keep everything de-cluttered as well. However, Emily and I can't seem to agree on what should go where. My solution has been to just get more boxes. But if we had it my way, as Emily has pointed out, each individual item would have it's own box, and we'd be a box full of boxes on wheels... That won't do. We HAVE agreed that the really big box will be dry-foods, like a pantry. Additionally, Emily supplied us each with a nifty fabric crate. we agreed that we each could bring as many shoes as would fit into our crate, minus the one's on our feet. I quickly realized how unfair this was because I have bigger feet then her.
|Hour 1. Hope level: fading.
The entirty of today was spent on preventative maintenance for poor Günther. Here is a list of things that Günther needs fixed, followed by an X if we fixed it today:
- Front right light wiper needs to be replaced [ ]
- Wiper fluid motor needs to be replaced [ ]
- Wipers need to be replaced [ ]
- Timing belt needs to be replaced (along with Idler pulley, Tensioner pulley, and Water Pump) [ ]*
- Serpentine Belt needs to be replaced [x]
- New spark plugs [x]
- New rear brake rotors [x]
- New rear brake pads [x]
- Oxygen sensor(s?) need(s) to be replaced [ ]
- Wagon door latch needs to be replaced (this'll make a doozy of a post later) [ ]
- Passenger door lock needs fixing [ ]
*ok, this one doesn't really count. We checked out the timing belt and decided it was actually in pretty good condition.
|The goods.
|Tool box and bad-ass heating unit.
|Box of parts, water, hat, and Dad's iPad for video instructions if necessary.
|Serpentine belt of death.
Goodbyes suck. I really hate them. They're so damn sad. I loathe the idea of verbally recognizing departure. It gives me a sense a permanency that just irks my soul. I think last night's exchange with my friend Richard sums it up pretty well:
Stressin' BIG TIME. Hey other friends out there, I feel like this is kind of a cop-out, but If I don't see you in the next 1.5 days, don't sweat it, I still love you. I just gotta go k?

Gesneria verticillata
Curtis, 1827
This sad looking specimen was likely drawn and painted from an herbarium collection, accounting for the wilted appearance. It was an early illustration -- more recent prints (here, here, here and here) give a better impression of the beauty of the species.

While Hitler is raving in his desperate attempt to justify his blood bath, without producing any evidence excepting his admission that he feared a mutiny and his own arrest, his comrades in arms and crime are continuing to circulate the ritual murder accusations against the Jews, thus inciting anti-Jewish massacres. Julius Streicher, Hitler's intimate friend and Governor of Franconia, is heading this most outrageous campaign and is devoting his organ, Der Stuermer to the dissemination of the most dastardly falsehoods about the Jewish people.
The recent death of Mendel Beilis, who had been accused by the Tsarist government of having killed a Christian boy for ritual purposes and who was vindicated by the jury, reminds us that when the whole civilized world was shocked by the Tsarist government's efforts to fabricate evidence in substantiation of the long-exploded ritual murder myth, the German people, through hundreds of their most enlightened and representative authors and scholars, joined the world protest against the staging of the ritual murder trial by the Tsar's government.
Twenty-two years ago, on March 19, 1912, the Germans signed a remarkable document in which they said, in part, as follows:
"This unscrupulous fiction, spread among the people, has from the Middle Ages until recent times led to terrible consequences. It has incited the ignorant masses to outrage and massacre, and has driven misguided crowds to pollute themselves with the innocent blood of their Jewish fellow-men. And yet not a shadow of proof has ever been adduced to justify this crazy belief. The most esteemed Christian authorities on Jewish literature have proved incontrovertibly that the Jews have never been exhorted by their religion to murder their fellow-men.
"We deem it the duty of everyone to whose heart the moral progress of mankind is dear to raise his voice against such deplorable absurdities. We thus join in the protest of the most esteemed Russian scholars, authors and artists, believing that such a protest should not be limited by frontiers, but should concern the heart of the whole civilized world."
Among the hundreds of distinguished Germans who signed that memorable document were the Christian professors of various universities and theological institutions, such as Friedrich Delitzsch, Friedrich Curtius, Richard Dehmel, Professor Ehrwald, Paul Elnzbacher and Rudolf Eucken. Gerhart Hauptmann, Herbert Eulenberg, Hermann Sudermann, Ludwig Thoma and other famous authors were included in the list. Hundreds of eminent clergymen added their names to the protest.
The French protest on that occasion, headed by Anatole France, read:
"The undersigned, friends of Russia and strangers to Judaism, denounce to public opinion the absurd accusation of ritual murder brought against the Jew Beilis, of Kiev.
"They affirm as follows:
"1. That, so far from requiring blood for its rites, the religion of Israel prohibits its use both for ceremonial purposes and for food, and that this absolute prohibition is rigorously respected by all the Jewish sects.
"2. That in all ages and in all countries religious minorities have been victims of this same calumny—the early Christians under the Roman Emperors, as well as quite recently the missionaries in China.
"They express the hope that such accusations may no longer find credence in any civilized country."
The British protest signed by the foremost leaders of thought in England, read, in part, as follows:
The question is one of humanity, civilization and truth. The 'Blood Accusation' is a relic of the days of Witchcraft and Blood Magic, a cruel and utterly baseless libel on Judaism, an insult to Western culture and a dishonor to the Churches in whose name it has been falsely formulated by ignorant fanatics. Religious minorities other than the Jews, such as the Early Christians, the Quakers, and Christian missionaries in China, have been victimized by it. It has been denounced by the best men of all ages and creeds. The Popes, the Founders of the Reformation, the Khalif of Islam, statesmen of every country, together with all the great seats of learning in Europe, have publicly repudiated it.
"It is the more necessary that these testimonies should be renewed because, among the ignorant and inflammable populace of Eastern Europe, the Blood Accusation has often given rise to terrible outbreaks of mob violence against the Jews, and there is grave reason to fear that its present resustitation may endanger many innocent lives in the crowded Jewries of the Russian Empire."
The American protest took the form of an appeal to the Tsar for the withdrawal of the ritual murder charge against Beilis. It read thus:
"We are convinced that the blood accusation against the Jews, which has been made sporadically, is as unfounded as was the same accusation which, as history shows, was frequently directed against the early Christians. It has been subjected to the most careful investigation for centuries, and no evidence warranting the slightest credence has ever been discovered, and it has been rejected as unworthy of serious consideration both by Church and State. Bulls were issued by four Popes—Innocent IV, Paul III, Gregory X and Clement XIV—which formally declared this superstition to be a baseless and wicked invention.
"Many sovereigns have in the past forbidden the attribution of religious significance to such accusations, among them the German Emperors Frederick II (1236), Rudolf of Hapsburg (1275), Frederick III (1470) and Charles V (1544); the Bohemian King Ottocar II (1254); the Poish Kings, Boleslaw V (1264), Casimir III (1334), Casimir IV (1453) and Stephen Bathori (1576)."
The American protest bore the signatures of the foremost religious leaders, among whom were Bishop Greer, Bishop Manning, Dr. Charles S. MacFarland, Frank Mason North, Cardinal Farley, Howard Melish, John Haynes Holmes, Shailer Matthews, then president of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.
That was twenty-two years ago. The Beilis affair was staged by the Russian government, and was regarded by that government as an internal affair, even though its intention was to discredit all Jewry. Nevertheless, statesmen, clergymen, scholars and authors of all civilized lands protested vigorously against the ritual murder accusation.
Germany under the Kaiser protested, branding the blood accusation as an "unscrupulous fiction" and declaring that they, the Germans, deemed it the duty of everyone to whose heart the moral progress of mankind was dear to raise his voice against such deplorable absurdities. They added that such a protest should not be limited by frontiers but should concern the heart of the whole civilized world.
And now Nazi Germany, under the reign of terror of Bloody Hitler, boasting of "Aryan" superiority while at the same time demonstrating to the world the degeneracy and depravity of Hitler's Nazi comrades in crime, encourages the spread of the ritual murder myth and the incitement of pogroms.
The Hitler regime has done all it possibly could to eliminate Germany from the family of civilized nations. The revival of the blood accusation against the Jews by members of the Bloody Hitler regime is another indelible stain upon the history of the German people.

Airman Charged With Sex Crimes to Face a Judge At Lackland Today
After a breather of several months, Lackland Air Force Base returns to the bad old days today, as an Airman appears in court on sexual misconduct charges.
Airman First Class Nathan Wilson-Crow, who is an Air Force photographer and a member of the 3rd Combat Camera Squadron, is charged with several offenses in connection with a bizarre game of 'truth or dare' with underage O'Connor High School girls at a high school sponsored summer camp near Rocksprings last summer.
Wilson-Crow is charged with performing lewd acts in the presence of a minor, and indecent exposure in connection with the Rocksprings incident.
He is also charged with wrongful sexual contact and rape in connection with a separate incident.
Wilson-Crow will be arraigned in the same courtroom where more than a dozen former Air Force Military Training Instructors were tried for sexually abusing and assaulting recruits in one of the biggest scandals to hit the U.S. military in recent decades.
If convicted on the rape charge, Wilson-Crow faces the possibility of life in prison.

Washington DC (SPX) Oct 18, 2007
The International HapMap Consortium published analyses of its second-generation map of human genetic variation, which contains three times more markers than the initial version unveiled in 2005. In two papers in the journal Nature, the consortium describes how the higher resolution map offers greater power to detect genetic variants involved in common diseases, explore the structure of human genetic variation and learn how environmental factors, such as infectious agents, have shaped the human genome.
Any two humans are more than 99 percent the same at the genetic level. However, it is important to understand the small fraction of genetic material that varies among people because it can help explain individual differences in susceptibility to disease, response to drugs or reaction to environmental factors. Variation in the human genome is organized into local neighborhoods called haplotypes, which usually are inherited as intact blocks of information. Consequently, researchers refer to the map of human genetic variation as a haplotype map, or HapMap.
The International HapMap Consortium is a public-private partnership of researchers and funding agencies from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States. The U.S. component of the project is led by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) on behalf of the 20 institutes, centers and offices of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that contributed funding.
"Thanks to this consortium's pioneering efforts to map human genetic variation, we are already seeing a windfall of results that are shedding new light on the complex genetics of common diseases," said NHGRI Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. "This new approach to research, called genome-wide association studies, has recently uncovered new clues to the genetic factors involved in type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer, multiple sclerosis and many other disorders. These results have opened up new avenues of research, taking us to places we had not imagined in our search for better ways to diagnose, treat and prevent disease."
The second-generation haplotype map, or Phase II HapMap, contains more than 3.1 million genetic variants, called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) - three times more than the approximately 1 million SNPs contained in the initial version. The more SNPs that are on the map, the more precisely researchers can focus their hunts for genetic variants involved in disease. The rapid growth of genome-wide association studies over the past year and half has been fueled by the HapMap consortium's decision to make its SNP datasets immediately available in public databases, even before the first and the second versions of the map were fully completed.
Researchers around the globe have now associated more than 60 common DNA variants with risk of disease or related traits, with most of the findings coming in the past nine months. As just one example, the Wellcome Trust consortium in England looked at 14,000 cases and 3,000 shared controls, finding variants associated with increased risk of bipolar disorder, coronary artery disease, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
"We are thrilled that the worldwide scientific community is taking advantage of this powerful new tool and we anticipate even more exciting findings in the future. The improved SNP coverage offered by the Phase II HapMap, along with better statistical methods, promises to further increase the accuracy and reliability of genome-wide association studies," said Gil McVean, Ph.D., of the University of Oxford in England, who co-led the group that analyzed the HapMap data.
Another analysis leader, Mark Daly, Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, Mass., said, "In addition to providing a critical backbone for standard genome-wide association studies, the Phase II HapMap identifies additional features of human genetic variation that will bolster efforts to pinpoint rarer disease mutations."
The Phase II HapMap was produced using the same DNA samples used in the Phase I HapMap. That DNA came from blood collected from 270 volunteers from four geographically diverse populations: Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria; Japanese in Tokyo; Han Chinese in Beijing; and Utah residents with ancestry from northern and western Europe. No medical or personal identifying information was obtained from the donors, but the samples were labeled by population group.
To provide information on less common variations and to enable researchers to conduct genome-wide association studies in additional populations, NHGRI plans to extend the HapMap even further. Among the populations donating additional DNA samples are: Luhya in Webuye, Kenya; Maasai in Kinyawa, Kenya; Tuscans in Italy; Gujarati Indian in Houston; Chinese in metropolitan Denver; people of Mexican ancestry in Los Angeles; and people of African ancestry in the southwestern United States.
In its overview paper in Nature, the consortium estimates that the Phase II HapMap captures 25 percent to 35 percent of common genetic variation in the populations surveyed. The consortium also confirmed that use of Phase II HapMap data has helped to improve the coverage of various commercial technologies currently being used to identify disease-related variants in genome-wide association studies. Researchers did note, however, that current technologies tend to provide better coverage in non-African populations than in African populations because of the greater degree of genetic variability in African populations.
The overview paper also reports that the Phase II HapMap has provided new insights into the structure of human genetic variation. One new finding was the surprising extent of recent common ancestry found in all of the population groups. Taking advantage of the map's increased resolution, the researchers identified stretches of identical DNA between pairs of donor chromosomes and then compared these stretches both within and across individuals. Their analysis showed that 10 to 30 percent of the DNA segments analyzed in each population showed shared regions indicating descent from a common ancestor within 10 to 100 generations.
In addition, the new map enabled researchers to quantify more precisely the rates of shuffling, or recombination, seen among different gene classes in the human genome. In their overview paper, researchers report that recombination rates vary more than six-fold among different gene classes. The highest rates of recombination were found among genes involved in the body's immune defense, while the lowest rates appear among genes for chaperones, which are proteins that play a crucial role in making sure other proteins are folded properly. In general, genes that code for proteins associated with the surface of cells and external functions, such as signaling, were found to be more prone to recombination than those that code for proteins internal to cells.
While the reasons for the varying recombination rates remain to be determined, the findings pose interesting evolutionary questions. In their paper, researchers suggest that one explanation may be that some recombinations in areas of the genome that affect responses to infectious agents or other environmental pressures may be selected for because they provide a survival advantage.
A related study appearing in the same issue of Nature describes how the enhanced map can help pinpoint pivotal changes in the human genome that arose in recent history. These changes, now common among various populations worldwide, became prevalent through natural selection - meaning they were somehow beneficial to human health. Although these DNA variants may still be important, their biological significance remains largely unknown.
Using the Phase II HapMap data, a team led by researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard identified hundreds of genomic regions that carry the hallmarks of recent positive natural selection. These regions are large, often extending for millions of nucleotides and including multiple genes. Thus, the researchers developed a set of computational guidelines to help locate the single letter changes that formed the focal points for evolutionary change.
The work uncovered several intriguing genetic variations that could provide novel insights into the biological forces underlying natural selection in humans. Two differences, which are common primarily in Asian populations, lie within the EDAR and EDA2R genes. In humans, these genes function together to form hair follicles and sweat glands, as well as other structures.
The researchers also identified DNA variations in African populations that may be linked to resistance to Lassa fever, a viral infection common in Western Africa. These changes lie in two genes, LARGE and DMD, which are involved in viral entry into cells. The findings help underscore one of the study's key themes - that multiple genes, acting together in the same biological process, often show signs of positive selection, both in humans and other organisms. Integrating these data may bolster efforts to understand the biological consequences of human genetic variation.
"Human history and the genome have been dramatically shaped by environmental factors, diet and infectious disease," said co-first author Pardis Sabeti, Ph.D., who is a postdoctoral fellow at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. "The gene variants identified in our study open new windows on these evolutionary forces and provide a launching point for future biological studies of human adaptation."
The effort to build the improved HapMap relied heavily on the high-throughput genotyping capacity of Perlegen Sciences, Inc., of Mountain View, Calif. The firm tested virtually the entire known catalog of human SNP variation on the HapMap samples, as well as contributed some of its own resources to make the map possible.
"The Phase II HapMap is truly an example of a public-private collaboration at its best. It's wonderful that everyone pulled together to create this improved map, which is a priceless tool for all researchers seeking to use genomic information to improve human health, be they in government, academia or industry," said Kelly A. Frazer, Ph.D., formerly vice president of genomics at Perlegen and now director of genomic biology at Scripps Genomic Medicine Program, in La Jolla, Calif.

GATESVILLE – The trial of mixed martial arts fighter Cedric "Spiderman" Marks is expected to get under way Monday morning in 52nd District Court.
Three hundred prospective jurors have been called with jury selection scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
Marks is accused of severely assaulting a man in the parking lot of the Copperas Cove City Park Pool in June 2004.
The case has been given a preferential setting, which means it will go to trial Monday unless it is resolved in some other way, District Attorney David Castillo said.
The latest trial date was in June, but 52nd District Judge Phillip Zeigler granted a motion for continuance to allow Marks' newly appointed defense attorney additional time to prepare.
The case has been set for trial two other times, once as a jury trial and once as a bench trial.
Bryon Barnhill was first appointed as defense attorney, but after he filed a motion to be withdrawn from the case, the court appointed Anthony L. Smith of Temple to represent Marks.
After Smith was appointed as counsel, a request was granted to again set it as a trial by jury.
Castillo said in June that he did not agree with the motion for continuance, but he understood the judge's decision.
Although the incident occurred on June 1, 2004, Marks was not arrested until the following year, so the matter has been pending in the courts since March 2005, Castillo said.
"Given the length of this case, we are ready to go to trial," he said. "... if (Zeigler) forced it to trial, I could see it be overturned by an appeals court, and nobody wants to do this twice."
According to court records, Marks, 32, was indicted in November 2004 of intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing serious bodily injury to then 32-year-old Steven Doyle by striking the man numerous times with his fist.
As a result of the assault, Doyle required surgery to reconstruct his facial bones. He also suffered a detached retina.
Marks contends, however, that he was acting in self-defense.
"I defended myself against that guy," Marks said in a June phone interview from his Washington state home. "He verbally, racially and physically assaulted me."
Marks said he had retired from his cage-fighting career in October 2003 because of a degenerative spinal disorder, but resumed fighting after learning of his legal troubles in Texas in hopes of earning funds to hire an attorney.
"I couldn't train properly. I ended up losing a lot of those matches," he said.
According to an affidavit by Investigator Lori Hix of the Copperas Cove Police Department, the incident began as a verbal altercation between the two when Marks was revving the engine of his vehicle and causing the alarm on Doyle's vehicle to go off.
