GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy
Mr. S. W. Westbrook
Per Diem, Travel and Transportation
Allowance Committee
Hoffman Building 1, Room 836
2461 Eisenhower Avenue
Alexandria, VA 22331-1300
Dear Mr. Westbrook:
This letter is in response to your July 31, 2000, memorandum requesting a waiver of a Federal Travel Regulation (FTR)(41 CFR chapters 300-304) provision.
You state that the Department of Defense (DoD) has spent many years and millions of taxpayer dollars building and upgrading temporary quarters for use by DoD travelers performing temporary duty travel at installations in the United States, and you would like to limit lodging reimbursement for DoD civilians when Government quarters are available to the civilians.
Therefore, you specifically request a waiver of FTR S301-11-.11, which allows Federal travelers to stay in lodging facilities of their choice. You state that you are requesting a waiver to FTR S301-11.11 in order that the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR) may include language that limits lodging reimbursement for DoD civilians performing temporary duty travel at installations in the United States.
You state that JTR language would require employees to check for the availability of Government quarters when performing temporary duty travel at installations in the United Sates but they would not be required to use the Government quarters. However, if Government quarters were available on the installation, and other lodgings were used, the employee's lodging reimbursement would be limited to the Government's quarters cost.
GSA is unable to grant your waiver request at this time, as such a waiver would be Contrary to the statutory language and intent of 5 U.S.C. S591(e).
A review of the legislative history and decisions of the Comptroller General reveal that it was the clear intent of Congress in enacting 5 U.S.C. S5911 (e) that employees not be forced to occupy Government quarters on a rental basis. While your proposal would not force the occupancy of Government quarters, per se, employees would in effect be penalized for not choosing to stay in Government quarters, as their travel Reimbursement would be reduced and they would be forced to pay out of pocket expenses to cover the extra costs of the commercial lodging.
Therefore, this waiver cannot be granted, as it would have the de facto effect of forcing Employees to choose Government quarters, contrary to 5 R.S.C. S5911(e).

BMW M Performance Auto M135i F20 Spied
3 Attachment(s)
BMW M Performance Automobiles, the newest off shoot of the M division kicked off with a bang. Rolling out for diesel monsters, the F10 M550d sedan & wagon, the X5 50d and the X6 50d. Our spied snapped picture of this F20 1 series hatchback with noticeably wider fenders. M division says there won't be another 1M for awhile leading us to think this is possibly the next M Performance Auto car, likely to be a M135i.
The side profile of the F20 1 series with the wide fenders reminds me of the Z3 M Coupe. Does anyone else see that in the pictures above?
The nose is a little short, but that rear shot really does resemble it in the rear glass and roof shape to me.
I doubt it. :( Probably get the coupe version though. I really want the 3-door hatch.
If the US coupe is still going to be sold for another year, I'd think we'd get some kind of Performance Auto version to keep sales from tanking, like the ZHP package on late E46s.
If they bring it, I'd like to buy it. Definitely what I'm looking for.

To which the only right-minded response right now, is "Hell, yeah, Dmitry."
Enough to make every right-minded woman cry out with pleasure.
To a healthy, right-minded man the knowledge of the truth is always a good.
No circumstances will induce an honourable and right-minded woman to reveal a secret after promising secrecy.
For the right-minded man, however, it had incalculable value.
He is not a very brilliant, but a sensible, right-minded man, who has gained credit by his fairness and courtesy at the Admiralty.
Fewer and better children are desired by right-minded parents.
She was not frightened about anything; but she knew that she had behaved as no right-minded or honorable girl should have done.
She was also full of spirit, while she was right-minded and sweet-tempered.
I do assure you, Sir Purcy, I feel it, and never knew a right-minded woman that did not.

Art helps people reach a wide audience without shouting from the top of radio towers, provocatively dancing behind a local TV field reporter, or tying speech bubbles to migrating birds. Express yourself with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $39 for a two-hour wheel-throwing pottery class for one (an $80 value)
- $75 for a two-hour wheel-throwing pottery class for two (an $160 value)

Cup O' Pottery's owner and art instructor, Tracy Wilmes, demonstrates wheel-throwing techniques that students aged 9 and older will use to manipulate up to 8 pounds of clay into fetching pieces of pottery. This lesson includes pottery tools, decorating slips, glazes, and all kiln firings.

Cup O' Pottery
Eight potters' wheels whirl next to shelves stacked with bisque pieces, worktables spotted with glaze, and walls hung with abstract art. The eclecticism of the space is one of owner and artist Tracy Wilmes's favorite things about his pottery studio, Cup O' Pottery—that, and the opportunity to inspire his students by leaping on a chair in his typical ebullient, and sometimes downright zany, teaching style. As a former high school art teacher, he loves educating students of any age, leading both family-oriented studio classes and open pottery paint and design sessions. The studio also includes a small retail area, where Tracy sells his own pottery and hands out mock detentions to disobedient clay.:

Around ten tap beers available when I visited last winter. The beers are somewhat hit or miss but this is one of the better beer stops if you're up in Vail and don't mind driving 20 minutes to Edwards.
Shitters: D+
Steve_0 (142) Denver, Colorado | July 9, 2013
Cool little Brewery right off of the highway near downtown Edwards. Stopped by on a hot Summer day and they had the garage doors up with outdoor seating and a "corn-hole" game set-up. Cool art from local artists all over the brewery and large picnic tables for enjoying beer. 8-10 beers on tap and a full flight cost $8, so pretty cheap. Pints were around $4 and they had 4-5 specialty beers on when I visited. Beer was decent. Fun and friendly atmosphere and I will definitely be back when I am in the area. Cool spot to check out when in the Rocky Mountains.
jcnielsen (318) Charlotte, North Carolina | December 31, 2012
Stopped by on the Thursday following Christmas, while staying in Vail. The place was a little hard to find, kind of on the back-side, basement of a building near the interstate. I was pleasantly surprised by the beers here. I got the sample tray of 10 beers for ~$7. Most of their beers were pretty good, and the perfect type of beers for post-skiing beers (crisp and refreshing, yet plenty of body and flavor also). I look forward to trying more of their beers in the future.
misrahi (22) Tallahassee, Florida | March 11, 2012
Was in the vail area and stopped in to check the tap room out. Had about 7 beers on tap. 4 dollar pints, 7 dollar flights (7 beers @ tasting pours), but the winner is the 10 dollar pitchers. 'Bartender' was nice, but didn't seem very engaging whatsoever. She made some good pours, but honestly for being at the brewery you would expect a little more engagement. I personally liked the atmosphere, was in a oversized garage, had a few big dogs (very friendly) roaming around saying hi to us. My personal favorite was their "barley wine" which I believe was titled Lawyers, Guns, and money. I used quotations because it drank like a imperial IPA more than anything, but good it was. All in all I enjoyed my experience, but a little disapointed that a small brewery wasn't more interested in visitors.

I came across an old photo the other day at my dad's house. I'm about 18 or 19-years-old and probably weigh a good 120 pounds. I specifically remember this photo, where it was taken, and how I felt about my body at the time. Of course, I thought I was fat. When I looked at myself in the mirror, my eyes went immediately to my acne scars, round tummy, and ugly legs. I hated so many things about myself. I wish I could go back and tell my young self how beautiful I was. My perception of beauty was definitely screwed up.
A few days ago, Dove released a new video titled "Patches." It really hit home and made me think about how we, as women, view ourselves on a day-to-day basis. This includes myself. I'm a lot more confident today. But, I'm only human and still struggle with the idea and perception of beauty.
In the video, women were given a "revolutionary product" to wear. Dr. Ann Kearney-Cook, a psychologist and body image expert explains: "RBX is beauty patch developed to enhance the way women perceive their own beauty." The women were instructed to wear the patch and keep a daily video diary. Once again, Dove is begging us take a good look at ourselves and showing us that only we can unlock the beauty from inside.
I encourage you to watch Dove's beauty patch experiment video below. Then, answer the question—if there was a patch like this on the market, would you buy it? Be honest!

Goof: When Carrie goes to the bathroom in Big's place, her hair is very messy. When you see her again, it's neatly straight. In the third shot, it's messy again.
Carrie: (voiceover) The gay straight man was a new strain of heterosexual male spawned in Manhattan as the result of overexposure to fashion, exotic cuisine, musical theatre and antique furniture.
Miranda: Hey! I don't need to be lectured about science by a man who's doing a crop rotation on his forehead!
Carrie: In order to survive two decades of dating in New York, Samantha had become a powerful hybrid - the ego of a man trapped in the body of a woman.
Samantha: Relationships have been on a decline since women came out of the cave, looked around, and said, "This isn't so hard."
Carrie: Okay, so you don't need a man, but you still want one.
Samantha: Oh honey, I want more than one.
Carrie: I can't decide whether you represent our future or our demise.
Samantha: I am the future!
Carrie: If the things we leave behind become the archaeological relics of our sexual history, I should be able to leave something. Ancient man left cave drawings to prove they existed. I left a Hair Pro 1200, and I didn't stop at that. Man may have discovered fire, but woman discovered how to play with it.
Carrie: What is it about Big's apartment? Nothing ever sticks. It's like Teflon for women.
Charlotte: I've never done a number two at a guys place before.
Samantha: Honey, you're so uptight you need to do a number seven.
Charlotte: I'm so confused. Is he gay or is he straight?
Carrie: It's not that simple anymore. The real question is; is he a straight gay man, or is he a gay straight man?
Samantha: Hopefully, he's a gay straight guy, which means he's straight with a lot of gay qualities. Whereas, a straight gay guy, is just a gay guy who plays sports and won't fuck you.
Carrie: Half my music collection was left behind by past boyfriends.
Charlotte: I always give that stuff back.
Carrie: Oh I don't. I consider it a parting gift. Thanks for playing and here's the latest from Hootie and the Blowfish.
Samantha: They're sexual souvenirs.
Samantha: I never leave underwear at a guy's place, because I never see it again.
Charlotte: What happens to it?
Samantha: Nothing, I just never go back.
Carrie: Doesn't that get a little expensive, disposing of lingerie everytime you sleep with a guy?
Samantha: That's why I stopped wearing underwear on dates.
Miranda: And that's why, I'm never borrowing a dress from you again.
Miranda: I know what this is, my right ovary has given up hope that I will ever get married and have kids. It's like working on a case that you know is gonna settle out of court. Why bother?
Carrie: Well, the left one still believes.
Miranda: I'm a biological underachiever. And it's ironic because that ovary went to Harvard.
Doctor: I got your test results back and everything looks fine.
Miranda: Great!
Doctor: Just one small thing, it appears you have a lazy ovary.
Miranda: A lazy ovary?
Doctor: Yes, your right ovary has stopped producing eggs.
Miranda: Is it possible it's just on strike?
Charlotte: I once found another woman's underwear on a man's bed!
Carrie: Maybe it was Samantha's!
Samantha: I need a new gynecologist. Do you like yours?
Miranda: Not right now, no.
Samantha: Well, at least she's a woman. I tried to go to a man, but it was just too strange. Having a guy spend all that time down there and then you leave, without an orgasm and a bill!

New LOTR DVD Snippet Online
A few minutes of the Fellowship entry
In their ongoing effort to convince us that what we really, really need is to buy another version of the Lord Of The Rings DVD, the canny people behind the discs have decided to get our appetites well and truly whetted.
The new, Limited Edition releases, which hit the shops on September 25, feature two-disc versions of each film. They'll boast branching, which lets you decide whether you want the Extended or Theatrical cuts and each of the trilogy comes complete with a new, exclusive and extensive behind-the-scenes documentary.
Hardcore Ring fans will likely know that already, but if you're wavering on whether to buy the disc, a little piece of the tempting precious has been put online at Comingsoon.net: a small chunk of the Fellowship documentary.
Head over here to see it and then decide if Granny's worth selling to add these to your collection.

Cute Dolphin Toothbrush Holder
Looking for a cute toothbrush holder? Here's one that not only holds one, but hold five toothbrushes. In addition, it comes in a family of dolphins that will add just that bit of cuteness to the bathroom.
The dolphin toothbrush holder comes with a pair of suction cups at the back, so they can be attached to a mirror or the smooth polished wall tile of a bathroom. The dolphins line up horizontally in a line, with the first dolphin just a bit larger than the rest, which is probably the papa dolphin, which can be used to hold a larger toothbrush.
A toothbrush holder that looks pretty nice, and possibly provide just that bit of encouragement for the young ones to build the habit of brushing their teeth regularly.
The cute dolphin toothbrush holder retails for $8.99 from Amazon.

I can't tell if you are being serious here. Are you saying only wahhabists promote terror? Now I personally believe that Saudi Arabia is the largest state sponsor of terror, but Iran is usually identified as that country and they don't believe in wahhabism.I've never come across that. My muslim co-workers are no different to any of the others in that respect.
And yes, whilst Islam might be a quarter of the worlds population, Wahhabism is 0.5% of that.

President Obama often cites "the mess" he inherited upon taking office, but aides say that won't get in the way of Thursday's portrait unveiling for predecessor George W. Bush.
"I know that President Obama is looking forward to it," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Through a spokesman, Bush has also said he is looking forward to the event he will attend along with former first lady Laura Bush; her formal portrait is also being unveiled.
Carney said it will be easy for the former presidents to talk about the shared experiences they have in common, rather than current political disputes that might divide them.
"There is a community here -- with very few members -- that transcends political and policy differences," Carney said of the ex-presidents club.
In fact, two former presidents are expected to be in the White House tomorrow; George H.W. Bush, W's father, is scheduled to attend.
The portrait unveiling is a presidential tradition. Bush hosted a similar event for predecessor Bill Clinton, just as Clinton did for the first President Bush.

Vaughan, the England captain, said Thursday he hoped to return from knee surgery to play in the final two of the five Ashes Tests as England look to retain the little urn.
Buchanan said he was not surprised by the reports and has revealed he consulted with Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie, recently returned from a stint with Yorkshire, for updates on England's injured captain.
"I never bought into the will-he-won't-he talk," Buchanan told The Sydney Morning Herald Friday.
"We will wait and see what squad they bring, and if some of what has been suggested about him playing in the Ashes has been a smokescreen. To us, this news wasn't unexpected.
"We haven't been doing any specific scouting of him, but I have spoken to Jason (Gillespie) a few times.
"He has been in and around the Yorkshire side and has been seeing how Vaughan is doing. We fully expect England to have a very similar side to the one that played in the last Ashes series.
"A fit Vaughan is important, not just to England as a batsman but also in the way that he leads. I'm sure he'll do everything he can to play in the Ashes."
Vaughan has not played for England this year after surgery on his right knee. He was on crutches for six weeks and initially ruled himself out of the Ashes.
Vaughan is expected to join England's shadow Ashes squad in Perth and will continue his rehabilitation there, hopeful of returning to England's helm for the fourth Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
"Everything would have to go perfectly between now and then, but it is in my mind," Vaughan told a British newspaper.
"There is a small window of opportunity. I would have to make runs immediately in Perth and, of course, I would have to stay fit.
"It would also depend on the state of the series and how the England management are thinking. But it is definitely what I am aiming for and definitely a target."

text: Hi Guys, new forum member and relative newbie to the art of buying better men's clothing here... I've heard a lot of good things about the Nordstrom's anniversary sale, and hoped you could tell me what suit brands are the best value for the money. I see Hickey Freeman suits marked down to $1000 but that's more than I can afford at this point. Other brands more in the $500-$700 range seem to be Abboud, HSM, Boss, Ted Baker. How would you rank order these brands? Are there other brands I should consider in this range? Thanks for thoughts on how I can make smart choices within my price range.

EGRP News Flash - November 3, 2009
8 Weeks Advance Notice Required by Our Division for Submission of Large-Budget Epidemiology Grant Applications
The Epidemiology and Genetics Research Program (EGRP) reminds current and prospective grantees that the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) require grant applications with requested budgets of $500,000 or more in direct costs in any one year to contact the appropriate program staff member and receive approval before submitting the proposals to NIH's Center for Scientific Review (CSR). The NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts' Notices NOT-CA-02-029 and NOT-OD-02-004 state that approval must be sought 6 weeks prior to submitting such applications. However, approval for applications assigned to our Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), of which EGRP is a part, must be sought at least 8 weeks prior to submission to CSR in order to complete the necessary internal processing. EGRP cannot guarantee that requests received fewer than 8 weeks prior to submission will be considered for approval.
Investigators must follow this policy, speak to the appropriate Program Director, and respond to requests for information. If advance notice of the proposed research and budget is not received and approval given by DCCPS, CSR will not accept the application, which will result in a delay in consideration until the next submission deadline. This policy applies to new, competing continuation, competing supplement, and amended/resubmitted applications. However, it does not apply to applications submitted in response to Requests for Applications (RFAs) or other funding opportunities with specified budget limits. Investigators should also be aware that an approval given to submit a large-budget application is limited to the cycle for which the proposal is being submitted.

Over at the Zelda Dungeon YouTube Channel, I've been uploading daily videos of my Let's Play for the Zelda Classic fan game, Lost Isle. If you make the jump, you can find videos 3-6, which cover the first dungeon in its entirety. Yes, that is four videos, spanning over an hour and 15 minutes, just for the first dungeon! Indeed this game is huge.
This fan game runs on the Zelda Classic player and you can download the game over at PureZC. It is a traditional top-down view 2D Zelda game and from what I've played so far, it's a rather fun experience that I'd suggest to all Zelda fans.

In eukaryotes, rRNA genes are transcribed as precursor RNAs (pre-rRNAs) in a specialized nuclear compartment, the nucleolus, and undergo extensive processing that includes covalent modification of highly conserved regions and a series of endo-nucleolytic and exonucleolytic cleavages. Processing and modification of the pre-rRNA seems to occur simultaneously with the assembly of ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) and large transient RNP (ribonucleoprotein) particles are formed in the nucleolus [
Most of the steps of ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotic cells take place in the nucleolus. Ribosome biogenesis requires the coordination of many different events, including rRNA transcription, pre-rRNA modification and processing, ribosomal protein production and rRNA-ribosomal protein assembly. In
For functional analysis of DNop5, polyclonal antibody against DNop5 was generated according to standard methods. The polyclonal antibody could specifically detect a 62 KD (calculated molecular weight of DNop5) protein, this data indicates that the antibody is specific to DNop5. Western blot results show that DNop5 was continuously expressed throughout

City Vision University Enrollment Procedure
Enrollment Procedure
Slide Presentation
Enrolling in City Vision University
Before registering for a City Vision University course, you must fill out the enrollment form. Enrollment is open year round. There are several steps to follow, so you should begin at least one month prior to the beginning of the term in which you plan to begin your studies. If you plan to use federal student aid or another form of financial assistance, we strongly encourage you to start even earlier.
Please read the following steps carefully and complete each of them in order. If you need assistance, contact Student Services at (816) 960-2008.
Note that students are considered to be officially enrolled at City Vision University after having completed 4 courses. However, if students receive financial aid, then they are automatically considered to be officially enrolled.
Step One: Complete the Enrollment Form Online
Online: If you are enrolling in the undergraduate program, click here to fill out the enrollment form at no cost.
If you are enrolling in the graduate program, click here to fill out the enrollment form and pay the $50 application fee.
- City Vision University students must meet the Academic Eligibility Requirements.
Therefore students must either self-certify their academic eligibility upon enrollment or else supply the appropriate documentation before beginning their fifth course. Students will not receive any Federal financial aid (Pell grants or loans) until their academic eligibility for aid has been confirmed by one of those methods.
If you have completed prior college work for which you wish to receive credit, this must be documented via official college transcripts. College transcripts must be sent directly from the institution. No faxes or photocopies will be accepted. You are responsible to inform the university if your transcripts will be sent with your maiden name on them instead of your current last name.
High school transcripts may typically be requested by doing a web search of your school districtand contacting them to order a transcript.. You can order college transcripts by doing a web search of your college name and the words "transcript request".
Transcripts should be mailed to:
Office of the Registrar
City Vision University
3101 Troost Ave. Suite 200
Kansas City MO 64109-1845
If you submit college transcripts, an official transcript evaluation will be done to determine the number of transfer credits that will be granted for previous college work.
Transfer credits will be awarded only if they are from institutions of higher learning that are accredited by a body that is recognized by the US Department of Education or the Council of Higher Education Accreditation (such as those listed here),
Non-U.S. institutions must have an accepted foreign equivalent at an institution listed in the International Handbook of Universities.
- You will need to e-mail a copy of a government-issued photo ID to registrar [at] cityvision [dot] edu before you may take any proctored exams (which are required in nearly all undergraduate courses).You will also need to send this before receiving financial aid if you are selected for financial aid verification – specifically, V4 or V5 verification. Our Financial Aid Office will notify you if this is the case.
Students may either scan in their ID or take a photo of it with a digital camera or smartphone.
Before taking proctored exams, you will need to select an exam proctor and have him or her be approved by the organization. This is needed for the undergraduate program only.
Additional Requirements for Master's program:
Provide 2 References - students must request at least two references from people who know them well enough to provide the information requested, include at least one work related reference and one character reference. Note: It would be helpful to obtain references from people who have observed you in your ministry and/or business setting. (Download Reference Request Form.)
Personal Learning Community (PLC) Agreements: Send PLC Agreement and Evaluation to 3-5 individuals. Your PLC is a strategic choice, providing you with fellow "travelers" who have a personal and/or professional interest in sharing your learning, i.e. how your perspective is changing and how that is impacting your life and work. For that reason, co-workers, pastors and/or spouses may be good candidates. You will be asking them to read your assignments and to hold you accountable for successfully completing your degree. This group will also provide the program director with periodic evaluations on your progress. (Download PLC Agreement and Evaluation)
Before applying for enrollment, please review the Standards of Admission.
Step Two: Financial Aid/Federal Loans
City Vision University offers several types of financial assistance to help students pay for their studies. Visit the Financial Aid/Federal Loans page to learn more about grants, loans, scholarships and internships.
Step Three: Registering For Courses
Use our online registration system to sign up for courses once you have submitted your enrollment form.
Make sure to use the same email account for course purchases that you used originally upon enrollment.
Special Situations: Those receiving reduced tuition through scholarships, internships or working with an AGRM mission or other partnering organization must contact the university office to receive discount codes for use when registering for courses. See our tuition discounts page for a full list of available discounts.
Step Four: New Student Orientation
All new students must complete the New Student Orientation before beginning work on their first course. You will be enrolled in the Orientation once you complete the enrollment form.
Important Considerations
- Enrollment in City Vision University is open year round. The Academic Calendar consists of five eight-week terms beginning in January, March, June, August and October. New students should begin the enrollment process at least one month before the beginning of the class in which they wish to participate.
- Course registration does not include textbooks. These must be ordered separately from our online bookstore or another source such as Amazon.com or a local bookstore.
- To take City Vision University courses, students must have their own personal email address that is used only by themselves. Free web-based email accounts can be obtained with Gmail or Yahoo.
- City Vision University courses are accelerated semester classes that cover 16 weeks of course work in just eight. Therefore, participating in two courses simultaneously is that equivalent of full-time enrollment in a traditional college. Plan to spend about 17-20 hours a week per course on your course work.
- Newly enrolled students must begin course work within six months of acceptance.
City Vision University is an Approved Education Provider for CFRE International and NAADAC, the association for addiction professionals. Our courses can be used to fulfill the requirements for initial certification and for continuing education purposes.
We encourage you to print this page for future reference. You can find additional consumer information here.
While City Vision University is nationally accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission and is recognized by the United States Department of Education, we cannot guarantee credit transferability to any given school as transfer of academic credit is determined by the receiving institution.

Hasdrubal I of Carthage
|Hasdrubal I
|King of Carthage
|530 BCE to 510 BCE
|Mago I of Carthage
|Hamilcar I of Carthage
Hasdrubal I of Carthage was the Magonid king of Ancient Carthage, a kingdom with its capital, Carthage, located in present-day Tunisia, from 530 to 510 BCE.
In the mid 520's, Hasdrubal, along with his brother Hamilcar I, launched an expedition against Sardinia.[1]
Hasdrubal was elected as "King" eleven times, was granted a triumph four times (the only Carthaginian to receive this honour - there is no record of anyone else being honoured to that extent by Carthage) and died of his battle wounds received in Sardinia.[2] Carthage had engaged in a 25-year struggle in Sardinia, where the natives may have received aid from Sybaris, then the richest city in Magna Graecia and an ally of the Phocaeans. The Carthaginians faced resistance from Nora and Sulci in Sardinia, while Carales and Tharros had submitted willingly to Carthaginian rule.[3] Hasdrubal's war against the Libyans failed to stop the annual tribute payment.[4]
Around this time, the Carthaginians managed to defeat and drive away the colonisation attempt near Leptis Magna in Libya by the Spartan prince Dorieus after three years.[5] Dorieus was later defeated and killed at Eryx in Sicily (around 510 BCE) while attempting to establish a foothold in Western Sicily.[6]

Ms. JACKSON LEE. Let me thank my colleagues who have gathered here today and tonight.
Thank you, Congressman Jeffries again for the combined leadership of yourself, Mr. Horsford from Nevada, and, of course, my dear, dear friend, Congressman Don Payne, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, and I know that the gentlelady from Ohio was also contributing this evening, and I certainly thank her for her leadership.
I am very pleased to be able to stand here and honor a group that I, frankly, believe are the anchor of the economy for the United States of America, and that is small businesses. We look at the landscape of American history. We did not start with multinationals and international corporations. We really started with mom-and-pop businesses, whether it is, in fact, when we were told in the historical concept to go West young man and woman, and those from the 13 Colonies originally as they moved from the east coast to explore the West as far as California. In those pioneering towns, you had to have small businesses.
Then, of course, if we speak about the history of our community, first coming to this Nation as slaves and then developing artisan skills in the spirit of Booker T. Washington, being carpenters, painters, and bricklayers. If you will look at the history of the South, many of the African Americans, this was their business, along with funeral homes and along with restaurants.
I remember the aunt of my husband. It was one of our special treats to be able to go down to Aunt Frances' location in Alabama. Her store was near Alabama State, and it was the place to go. It was also a little hotel, and there was no doubt that Aunt Frances could cook, but she turned it into a business. And the students knew that that was a place that was a comfort to them, that good meals could be gotten for reasonable prices. Those were small businesses in the African American community.
Frankly, I believe that we have not done well by them. We have not done well by minority businesses overall, by women-owned businesses. Yes, there are some moments of success that I will recount in just a moment, but in terms of the Federal Government really putting elbow grease to the idea of outreach to minority businesses, they can do better. Yes, we have the Small Business Administration and there are many instances of outreach, but let me share with you how we could do better.
First of all, we can eliminate the sequestration. We can put on the floor H.R. 900, which is legislation that many of us have signed, led by John Conyers. I'm an original cosponsor among many others. Eliminate the sequestration. It is killing us. Frankly, it is killing small businesses. It is killing the opportunities for small businesses in terms of small businesses who do a small amount of business with the Federal Government. All of that is being cut.
We can also fix the Internal Revenue Service because I will tell you, Mr. Jeffries, if you poll any of your small businesses, any of those S corporations or any of those mom-and-pops or any of those individuals who have businesses in their name, I can assure you that there is a difficult situation with IRS audits. They seem to find small businesses, and they seem to find minority businesses. And so I think, as a Congress, we want fairness. We certainly want the IRS, that has a lot of hardworking workers--we have just found out that they targeted liberal groups as well as others. We want them to find a sort of the right space to be able to allow our small businesses to not suffocate but to grow and to work with them in what we call offer in compromise. So I think we need to fix the IRS.
Certainly, we need to fix the whole issue of credit scoring, allowing small businesses to access, if you will, the right kind of credit. If they can get credit, then they can grow. I would imagine that if this whole place was filled up with small businesses and I asked them, the colleagues that are in this room, it was all filled up with small businesses, asked them to raise their hand about access to credit or this whole issue of credit scoring--and we in the Federal Government can do better. We can do better with a fixed tax system that respects the growth of small businesses to allow them to grow their business and give them the kind of tax incentives that would be helpful.
Let me also say, as I bring my remarks to a close, and I want to say to Congresswoman Clarke, who is already on the floor--she knows now that I'm going to have to cite some of my businesses that have come and made great opportunities for workers. But let me just say that we need to be able to--how should I say it?--encourage, encourage all these government agencies.
Do you know how much the General Services Administration buys and how much they build? All of these agencies, every single bill that comes through here, we should work with our Republican colleagues, who believe in small businesses, to be able to add amendments that deal with the outreach to minority, women, and small businesses. That's what we're missing. They're intimidated by doing business with the Federal Government.
The General Service Administration is one of the worst offenders. They spend money on building buildings. They spend money on buying buildings, and their MWBD record is horrific. And what they say is they don't have a provision that incentivizes them, or there's no provision in their structure that causes them to move forward on MWBD.
We've got to do something about that. Maybe we can collectively do it as a Congressional Black Caucus to be able to address the question of an agency that buys everything and builds everything for the Federal Government, and they don't have an incentive.
Just last week I put an amendment on the defense authorization. I want to thank the Democrats and Republicans for being supportive. I look forward to working with them again in the agriculture bill.
But finally what I would say is that I am grateful that we are highlighting small businesses today, and I hope that I've listed a few items that we will hear from small businesses about, that we can hear your voices tell us how we can help you better, either with the IRS, with sequestration, with the outreach in the Small Business Administration or working with the General Services Administration so that you have more opportunity to participate as a small business.
Now let me cite a few of my businesses, as I go to my seat, in Texas. I want to celebrate Frenchy's, the Creuzot family, that has been in the chicken frying business for 50 years plus. Yes, I have a great excitement that they have taken that business and they are in the marketing business of making food products that they are selling to grocery stores. They've grown from being that place where the students from Texas Southern University would go and the rest of us would go by expanding. They have kept people hired for 50 years. Their father has gone on to glory, their mother is still alive, but the children have kept it alive. I want to salute them because it is a business of the family. They came from Louisiana, made their way over in this direction.
I want to salute Kase Lawal and CAMAC as one of the only standing energy companies owned by an African American in the United States, along with Osyka, owned by Michael Harness, and a pipeline company, Milton Carroll, who's had Precision Instruments for a number of years that was in the oil drilling business. I want to salute them.
I want to salute Cool Runnings, my first visit to them, a Jamaican restaurant. They have taken their business and grown it--in Houston, Texas by the way. To be able to have a restaurant and a takeout business is great. I want to salute the Houston Black Expo, because they are having their big event on June 21 and businesses all over Houston will be benefiting from Mr. Love's great effort in the Houston Black Expo.
Finally, I want to conclude by saying that small businesses are in fact the backbone of America. I know that there will be a great opportunity for us to expand on that.
Let me close by thanking you, Mr. Jeffries and Mr. Horsford, thank you so very much for highlighting what is truly the infrastructure of jobs in America, small businesses and minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses. Thank you for your courtesy.

Double Down: Game Change 2012
In their runaway bestseller Game Change, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann captured the drama of Barack Obama's improbable 2008 victory. With the same masterly reporting, unparalleled access, and narrative skill, Double Down picks up the story in the Oval Office, where the president is beset by crises— facing defiance from his political foes, disenchantment from the voters, disdain from the nation's powerful money makers, and dysfunction within the West Wing.
As 2012 looms, leaders of the Republican Party, salivating over Obama's political fragility, see a chance to wrest back control of the White House. So how did the Republicans screw it up? How did Obama survive the onslaught of super PACs and defy the predictions of a one-term presidency? Double Down follows the gaudy carnival of GOP contenders as Mitt Romney, the gaffe-prone multimillionaire from Massachusetts, scratched his way to the nomination.
Mark Halperin is an editor at large and a senior political analyst for Time magazine, and a senior political analyst for MSNBC. Halperin, who has covered seven presidential elections, received his B.A. from Harvard University and resides in New York City with Karen Avrich.
John Heilemann is the national affairs editor for New York magazine and a political analyst for MSNBC. An award-winning journalist and author of Pride Before the Fall, he is a former staff writer for The New Yorker, Wired, and The Economist. He lives in Brooklyn.
