Choke Canyon Gives Up Seventh ShareLunker
15.45-pound bass is also new lake record
ATHENS, Texas—Brad Bookmyer of Leander had his fishing trip cut short January 21, but he was happy about it. After hooking two fish so big he could not turn them and keep them from getting off the hook, he landed a 15.45-pound largemouth bass that was 22 inches in girth and 26.25 inches long.
The fish is the seventh ShareLunker to come from Choke Canyon and weighs nearly a pound more than the previous lake record, a 14.66-pounder caught in 1991.
Bookmyer was fishing in 10 feet of 53-degree water when the fish took a crankbait. "I immediately quit fishing to get the fish into the minnow tank at the Calliham Store as soon as possible," Bookmyer said.
The fish is the third to be entered into the ShareLunker program during the current season, which runs through April 30. Anyone legally catching a largemouth bass in Texas waters, public or private, weighing 13 pounds or more can enter the fish into the program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or by paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving an area code and phone number.

HOUSTON - The North Forest Independent School District has been ordered to close its doors on July 1.
The Texas Education Agency made the order in early February and NFISD challenged it. That challenge was denied on Monday.
"We at North Forest ISD are disappointed by the TEA's decision to merge North Forest with HISD," NFISD Superintendent Edna Forté said. "Because we truly believe partnering with the charter schools that make up PHILO is the best option for the children of North Forest, we will appeal this decision to the State Office of Administrative Hearings. Regardless of the outcome, the faculty and staff will continue to move forward with the transformative work we are doing at North Forest ISD to complete a successful year."
"Throughout this process, the priority has been the students of North Forest and assuring they each receive the quality education they deserve," Commissioner Michael Williams said. "My hope is that today's decision marks the next step toward making that goal a reality."
The Houston Independent School District will absorb North Forest's 7,000 students.
"We know this has been a trying ordeal for the North Forest community, and we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for the students and their families," HISD Superintendent Terry Grier said. "Our promise to the North Forest neighborhood students is the same as our promise to every student already attending HISD schools: You will be challenged academically, because we believe in you. You will have effective teachers and principals, because every child deserves the best. You will attend a safe school, because learning does not happen when children feel vulnerable."
HISD will hold a community meeting soon to gather input for the transition plan and address questions about the annexation.
Some parents of North Forest students said they think their children will have a better future as HISD students.
"They are not offering the students anything here. Not just this school, but any other school -- no books," mother Yolanda Johnson said.
Other parents said they want their children to continue their education in the North Forest Independent School District.
"All districts can be saved if people stop thinking about themselves and money." said Shrita Rogers, a parent.
HISD officials said about 300 students who live in North Forest already attend HISD schools because of the district's open transfer policies. Students from North Forest will have equal access to HISD's magnet schools. Students and parents were encouraged to attend the HISD School Choice Fair at the HISD headquarters, 4400 West 18th Street, from 9 a.m. to noon on April 27.
An appeal is already in the works. U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee attacked the Texas Education Agency's decision, calling it a civil rights violation. She has called on the Justice Department, which would put the district's fate in the hands of a federal court.
"I think that would be the only way to wake up the TEA in Texas to be fair to children," said Jackson Lee.
Financial and academic problems have plagued the district since the 1980s and a result, North Forest ISD has been under TEA sanctions on and off since then. While improvements have been made, North Forest continues to struggle academically with test scores still below the state average.
In May 2012, North Forest ISD appealed a decision to revoke its accreditation. That was denied, but the school district's closure was abated a year to allow it to improve, but the conditions set were not met, state officials said.

When Kobe Bryant went down with what appeared to be a torn Achilles', the NBA was watching.
In the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 118-116 win over the Warriors, Bryant began to drive left and immediately crumpled to the floor. He limped off after hitting two free throws. Bryant will have an MRI Saturday to verify the injury, but he is likely done for the remainder of the Lakers' 2012-13 season.
Here is reaction from NBA players around the league:
Damn man i feel bad for @kobebryant . If there's anybody and i mean anybody who can come back from that injury it would be him! Best wishes!— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 13, 2013
Tough moment because of @kobebryant injury. I wish him a great recovery. I have no doubt he'll come back stronger than ever. #prayforvino— Pau Gasol (@paugasol) April 13, 2013
Prayers out to my man @kobebryant. Hoping for a speedy recovery and there is absolutely no doubt he'll be back strong!— Chris Paul (@CP3) April 13, 2013
Hate to see players go down.....prayers out to @kobebryant for a big recovery and an even bigger return.— Harrison Barnes (@HBarnes) April 13, 2013
Thoughts & prayers go out to the big homey #Kobe.. Shame they ran him into the ground.. #Damn— Matt Barnes (@Matt_Barnes22) April 13, 2013

Navajo gaming officials want to make it possible for people at the tribe's Arizona casino to drink alcohol while they're gambling.
Tribal law permits alcohol sales and consumption only in casino restaurants.
A bill moving through the Navajo Nation Council would allow drinks to be taken onto the casino floor.
Derrick Watchman is the chief executive of the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise. He says expanding areas where alcohol can be consumed would make the Twin Arrows casino near Flagstaff more competitive with other Arizona casinos.
The expansion wouldn't carry over to the Navajo Nation's casinos in New Mexico.
Alcohol is a touchy subject on the Navajo Nation, where the sale and consumption largely is banned.
Watchman expects the discussion over the bill to include the pervasive social ills of alcoholism.

The Philadelphia Wings split a pair of one-goal games in their weekend series with the Colorado Mammoth. The Wings won 13-12 in Denver, but fell short 16-15 in Philadelphia. Pat Heim was scoreless on the weekend for the first-place Wings.
The Buffalo Bandits were routed by the Calgary Roughnecks, 17-6.
Kevin Buchanan tallied just one assist for the Bandits, who failed to find the back of the net in the first and fourth quarters. Buffalo is in last place in the East Division with a record of 4-7.
Mitch Belisle and the Minnesota Swarm dropped their second straight game, 20-13. The Swarm was bested by Rabil's former team, the Washington Stealth. Belisle notched an assist in the loss, as the Swarm fell to 5-5 on the season.
Minnesota will take the field twice this weekend – first on Friday at 8:30 pm and again on Saturday at 9:00 pm. Buffalo will host the Toronto Rock at 7:30 pm on Saturday. All three games can be seen live at

Hello all,
I live in the Baltimore/DC area of Maryland. I switched careers from academia to video back in 2006, a few years after I finished a dissertation on TV war reporting and public opinion formation (where I taught myself to edit video).
I thought news and documentary video was a cool way to show people how the world worked (or wasn't working). I remembered how great I thought those David Burke technology history shows and the movie "Roger and Me" was.
After a year of production classes (and the NPPA TV News Storyteling workshop) I wound up working instead in event video and, eventually, as a shooter/editor for business school marketing communications office for a few years doing a several mini-doc, promo, and testimonial type pieces, some with a former PBS producer.
I've been freelancing since June 2010 doing some shooting and editing, a little grip work, and a lot of (video and web) software training. I also was one of the volunteer editors who put together those daily packages on the SilverDocs 2011 youtube channel during the festival.
The most "doc" things I've done are that I put together a short piece on youtube called "Athar the Bike-Man" about a guy who manages his OCD and other issues by riding his bike all over town every day. I also recorded a friend's team through three days of a 50-mile fundraising walk for MS and taped several concerts by a band I like.
I am interested in working on professional doc or advocacy projects with a social/political and/or technological focus. Aside from my production and post skills I'm a good researcher in those areas.
I've long been thinking about starting a project that follows several badly injured war vets through months of physical therapy and would appreciate any tips on how to get the military to permit extended taping in physical therapy and interviews with patients.
I have a decent Sony EX1 kit (six hours of cards, good wireless lav, good tripod, large+small battery, .8x wide adapter, zoom controller, 24" LCD monitor with component in) and will let others shoot using my gear as long as I'm around. I have a very reasonable day rate for DC.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have been lurking here for a while and it seems that this could be a place for skillful dhamma discussion.
I came to the dhamma the old fashion way (at least for my place and time) through 60's and 70's counterculture. My first inkling of a spiritual life started with discovering the Transcendentalists in high school. From there it was Alan Watts, Krishnamurti, Suzuki Roshi, psychedelics, communal living and vegetarianism. It was pretty syncretic but very much a learning experience. And it was fun.
In my more settled early adult life I had the great good fortune of knowing some Venerable Bikkhu's. I still dabbled in Zen and was generally quite wobbly but became very drawn to the Pali Suttas and Metta, Samatha and Vipassana practice.
In more recent years I have made an attempt to come to terms with the Christianity of my childhood and culture. The point of entry again was the Transcendentalists through their 19th century Unitarian Christian roots. I love the rejection of original sin and the emphasis
on self reliance and salvation by character. It sounds a bit like Buddhism, but it lacks Buddhism's depth and complete path to fruition. I try to imagine what they would have been like if people of that era had access to Suttas that we do today.
I have never thought of my self as being conservative in any way but today I would call myself a very conservative Theravadin Buddhist. I have a busy family and professional life but it is dhamma practice that is at the heart of everything I do.
with Metta,

Bochy calls meeting to discuss mental errors
DENVER -- A day after the Giants committed a season-high four errors, manager Bruce Bochy conducted a pregame meeting Saturday to remind players about the evils of mental mistakes.
"I just kind of checked in with the club, that's all that was. We talked about a few things," Bochy said after the meeting, which lasted about 10 minutes.
But Bochy dwelled on aspects of Friday's shabby performance during his pregame chat with reporters, indicating that the Giants' rash of sloppiness was a primary topic of the meeting. He cited two examples of unwise execution that hastened the Giants' 10-9 loss Friday to Colorado.
One was third baseman Pablo Sandoval's wild throw past first base after he dove for Eric Young's third-inning grounder. Sandoval had no play on the fleet Young and thus had no business attempting a throw.
"He was trying to make a play that's impossible and he throws it away. Now we've compounded the damage," Bochy said.
Later during that inning, Madison Bumgarner neglected to back up third base as center fielder Angel Pagan overthrew third. The ball went into the stands on one hop, which Bumgarner might have prevented had he positioned himself properly.

Corn Estimated Fund Position
Short Term:Down Net Long Futures and Options: 169094
Long Term: Up Change: -5000
Overnight Trade: H unch @7:30 AM
The March corn continues to trade just above the 40 and 50-day moving averages. Fresh news is sparse. We will have a supply and demand report next week, but there is a very good chance that there will be no changes at all, which is typical for a December report. Plan on another day of consolidation with $7.47 acting as support and $7.57 as resistance.
Wheat Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Down Net Long Futures and Options: -25942
Long Term: Down Change: -2500
Overnight Trade: Chicago: H +3 KC: H+3 @7:30 AM
The March KW is making its way back to the bottom of the trading range. The wheat market isn't getting any help from the corn and we still aren't being overwhelmed with big export sales. However, the one bullish factor that remains is the dry weather in the HRW Belt. The crop isn't improving and chances for moisture are slim. The new crop contracts will be very well supported for the time being.
Soybeans Estimated Fund Position
Short Term: Up Net Long Futures and Options: 77150
Long Term: Down Change: +2000
Overnight Trade: F +8 @7:30 AM
The January soybeans made another new high for the move overnight and it still looks like the market is headed for the $15.00 level. The news remains the same. Demand is strong and there is always one eye on the weather in S. America. Soybeans and soybean oil have the best chances of seeing changes in the supply and demand report and if there are changes they will be in the form of higher demand. Buy breaks.
Live Cattle
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Up
Opening Calls: Mixed
Live cattle futures closed moderately lower on Tuesday, with December taking out its' low from the previous day and closing below the 40 day moving average. We saw some light movement of cash in western Nebraska Tuesday evening at $122.50. Asking prices in most areas remains $127+, with bids in the $122-$123 area. Mondays slaughter was reduced to 120,000, while Tuesday picked up to a hardy 129,000. We are now 6,000 ahead of last weeks' pace, suggesting that the packers feel comfortable with their numbers or they will need additional inventory from the cash market.
Feeder Cattle
Short Term: Down
Long Term: Down
Opening Call: 10-20 Higher
Feeder cattle futures closed narrowly mixed on Tuesday, unable to hold early gains, but not following fats deep into negative territory. The cash index stabilized for the day, which may provide underlying support. Overnight corn prices are mostly flat, as they await Stat Canada numbers this morning. The continued drought in the plains is pushing more cattle away from wheat pasture and into feedlots.

White Papers: What You Need to Know
- Posted in Press Release Quick Tips
- Tagged in Writing Tips
- Leave a Comment
White papers are a form of corporate writing that falls somewhere between journalistic articles and marketing materials. At the recent American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) annual conference in New York, three professional white-paper writers discussed the ins and outs of writing white papers, including what they are, what writers should be asking before taking the assignment, and tips for writing them.
- Susan B. Weiner, CFA, writes and edits articles, white papers, investment commentary, Web pages, and other communications for leading investment and wealth management firms. Her credits include AdvisorPerspectives.com, Bottom Line/Personal, CFA Magazine, Financial Planning, Journal of Financial Planning and Louis Rukeyser's Mutual Funds.
- Randy B. Hecht is a bilingual (English/Spanish) reporter and editorial consultant whose clients include print and online media, corporations, NGOs and foundations in the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. "Unconquered," her book about contemporary indigenous people in Latin America, will be published in 2012. Her portfolio also includes magazine articles, multilingual Web portals, blog posts, annual reports, public policy studies and white papers.
- Pamela Oldham is a 25-year veteran and award-winning marketing communications writer and reader advocate who has written dozens of white papers for Fortune 500 companies, leading nonprofits and government agencies. She specializes in translating technical and highly complex concepts into terms easily understood by non-technical audiences. Her marketing communications clients have included Verizon, Spring/Nextel, Merkle, AT&T, CognitiveDATA, US Navy, the EPA and many others. Her business, marketing and consumer credits include The Washington Post, Family Circle, Deliver Magazine, Direct Marketing News, MSN.com and others.
Following are highlights from the presentation.
According to Oldham, white papers are the most frequently downloaded media type, the most utilized to evaluate new technology, and the most effective in delivering return on investment.
White papers are an attractive market for writers because they pay well, said Weiner. And because they are used by a variety of organizations — companies, nonprofits, government agencies, think tanks — there are a wide range of prospects.
There are three characteristics of a white paper:
- Provides unbiased information and analysis
- Presents a problem and a solution
- Proposes and argues in favor of a solution to the problem, based on sound research.
The standard format is:
- Opening summary
- Introduction
- Explanation of the problem
- Suggested solution
- Closing summary
- Signature (author's bio, company profile)
- Contact information
White papers are typically 7-10 pages long (including graphics, so about 5 pages of text). Highly technical papers can be as long as 20 pages.
There are often several individuals involved in the white-paper process, including a project manager, subject-matter experts, the writer, an editor and proofreader, and an illustrator or designer.
Keep in mind that you will not get a byline on a white paper, as you are ghostwriting for the organization.
Before beginning the writing process, make sure to define the assignment. What is the objective? What is the topic? Who is the target reader? What is the problem that will be addressed? What is the proposed solution? Is there any primary research on the topic?
Oldham suggests compiling a statement of work (SOW) to help with the logistics of the project and avoid any misunderstandings on the scope of the project. Define what is expected:
- How many pages, words
- How many revisions, rounds of editing
- How many interviews to be conducted
- How many sidebars, call-outs, and where will they appear
- Who will create graphics
- Deadline (typical time frame is 30-45 days, minimum)
Once you're ready to write the paper, you'll want to follow these nine steps:
- Assess needs
- Have a kickoff meeting
- Acquire information
- Write
- Integrate content and layout
- Organize content
- Illustrate
- Review, revise and approve
- Publish
Oldham shared the following tips for writing white papers:
- Write clearly and concisely. Avoid jargon, buzzwords and other "insider" language.
- Write in the third person and mirror the client's voice and personality. Make sure the white paper makes a compelling case for the reader. "Be a reader advocate!"
- Address readers with the least knowledge about the subject. Use visuals (call-outs, sidebars) to keep readers interested.
- Use good journalistic practices, including taking the steps necessary to fact-check your sources.
- Stick with the facts and real-life examples. Avoid including opinions or editorializing, and resist attempts to include unsubstantiated claims. When possible, cite third-party information, which can bolster your credibility and demonstrates depth of knowledge.
- If factual descriptions of a client's products/services are included as part of the solution, present them in the last third of the white paper, to enhance credibility and keep the reader with you.
- Resist the urge to write in a promotional voice. You want to convey information, not sales pitch.
- Practice the craft of writing white papers, and stay up-to-date on techniques. Read other white papers.
If you are not already an experience white-paper writer, you will need to sell yourself as a writer in this specialized area.
Not all organizations will require previous experience writing white papers. Some will accept reports you've written or other writing assignments that required investigating a topic or helping readers understand a difficult topic.
Figure out what your best niche is and target those topics and industries in which you have high-level expertise, said Hecht. "Don't position yourself as a writer who can cover any topic; generalists are a poor fit for white papers."
Target those sectors that are most aligned with your area(s) of expertise. Market out to existing clients in those sectors, including agencies and custom publishers. Look beyond corporate clients to government agencies, NGOs, research institutes, hospitals, professional associations, etc.
Don't be afraid to use your connections, advised Hecht. If you already have corporate clients, think of some areas for a white paper and see if they would benefit from it. When talking to editors, ask them if they have a corporate group you can contact to see if they have a need for white papers. If you write in a certain industry, contact a professional association in that industry.
You can also work through a marketing firm or PR agency that corporations contract for white papers.
It's also important to network with people in the industry for which you want to write white papers. "Don't just network with other writers," said Hecht. "Get known as someone who knows the industry."
Writer Maria Perez is director of news operations for ProfNet, a service that helps journalists connect with expert sources. To read more from Maria, including recaps from other ASJA panels, visit her blog on ProfNet Connect at http://www.profnetconnect.com/profnetmaria/blog/

Pacers trade Troy Murphy
Thunder trade Nenad Krstic, Matt Harpring, Phoenix's 2010 1st round pick
The Thunder could use Murphy at center to help them reach the playoffs. He'll be an upgrade rebounding the ball, and can space the floor for Westbrook and Durant. Really don't have a better center option on the team. Plus Murphy would only have a year left if things don't work out
Krstic will give the Pacers another serviceable big while allowing Hibbert and Hansbrough to grow. Krstic does have a player option next year, but it's a reasonable 5 mil giving you're shedding Murphy's 11 mil
Harpring is a 6 mil or so insurance expiring due to injury and would come off the books.
The Suns first would be late in the first round most likely, but it is unprotected. Right now it's around #22, but it's still possible Phoenix could falter some as well and that draft pick could improve.
The Thunder of course still have their own 1st round pick as well
I guess Maynor could be an option instead of a 1st rounder, but I don't believe he can be traded for awhile?

'Those were referees Dan Marouelli and Kevin Pollock who seemed to want to be part of something that was not theirs. They called 17 penalties in a game which deserved half as many. In the third period especially, the referees made syncopation out of the wonderfully steady rythmn the players had been creating.'

PHOENIX -- Colby Lewis and Yu Darvish are stepping aside so Robbie Ross and Tanner Scheppers can continue their pursuit of a spot in the starting rotation.
Lewis will make his next start in a Minor League game on Thursday and Darvish will do the same on Friday. That will allow Ross to start on Thursday against the Reds and Scheppers to start on Friday against the Brewers.
Both Ross and Scheppers have been impressive in their bid to win a spot in the rotation. Ross has a 2.08 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP this spring while Scheppers has a 3.12 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Ross has the lowest ERA of any candidate competing for a spot in the rotation while Scheppers has the second lowest and the second lowest WHIP.
Joe Saunders has a 6.43 ERA and has allowed ten hits and a walk in seven innings. But he allowed two runs over four innings against the Royals on Monday night and is the most experienced starter in camp.
Tommy Hanson has pitched well according to the numbers with a 3.24 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. But his velocity and overall stuff still aren't back to where it was with the Braves in 2009-11. Both Saunders and Hanson should pitch on Saturday either against the Royals in Surprise or a Minor League game.
Lewis is scheduled to throw 80 pitches over five innings in a Minor League game. The Rangers want to get his pitch count up and see if he is ready to be an option at the Major League level. With less than two weeks before Opening Day, the Rangers still aren't sure if Lewis is all the way back after missing 11/2 years because of flexor tendon and hip replacement surgery. Significant progress has been made but not enough.

Got a Premium Midari and Slaidi. Mixed bag results in the winds. I got them to test out the grip for the wet and cold season and so far so good no trouble there. The Midari flew fine most of the time but turned a little surprisingly a few times. Not by a lot. I got it to where i normally get Rocs in calm weather throwing Midari in rear wind. Headwinds were not perfect but not average either so maybe not a wind beater but definitely among the better straightish headwind mids. All in all thrown fairly low it is a nicely straight disc.
Slaidi i have is more overstable than normal Wraiths. I have some mutant overstable Wraiths that seem to be on par with the Slaidi. Because the wind produced surprising results in headwinds i compared my Legenda too. Normally even in a headwind i lack the power to keep these level long enough for best distance in class. With a flat shot. Wrestling the wrist down the Legenda and Slaidi flipped hard and on lower lines never coming back. For comparison i saw an instantaneous 70 degree flip in mid flight from a flat flight TP Boatman. Weather forecast was 22 MPH which means swirling gusts with constantly varying directions and usually 50 % more speed in gusts around here. The Slaidi does take winds well normally but it hooks hard and likes more power than i have.

Ultimately, our investment in development represents the vanguard of our economic strength, moral leadership, and national security. At the same time, it advances an unprecedented global fight to end extreme poverty. Since the dawn of humanity, extreme poverty has crowded at the heels of progress—stifling hopes and undermining growth across the centuries. But today, we stand within reach of a world that was simply once unimaginable: a world without extreme poverty and its most devastating consequences, including chronic hunger and child death. As President Obama said at the United Nations General Assembly, "America is committed to a development agenda that eradicates extreme poverty by 2030. We will do our part to help people feed themselves, power their economies, strengthen their policies, and care for their sick. If the world acts together, we can make sure that all of our children enjoy lives of opportunity and dignity.
Thanks to bipartisan support in Congress and from the American people, USAID is responding to unprecedented development challenges, including some of the most pressing events unfolding on the world stage today. By partnering to end extreme poverty, reduce state fragility, and promote resilient democratic societies, we help developing countries transform into peaceful, open, and flourishing partners for our nation.
The Syrian crisis is the largest and most complex humanitarian emergency of our time. The emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has exacerbated an already protracted crisis in Syria, where the Assad regime has waged an unrelenting campaign of bloodshed against its own people for four years.
The humanitarian situation grows more complex every day. There are more than 12.2 million Syrians in need of humanitarian assistance— more than half of Syria's pre-war population, and equal to the combined populations of New York City and Los Angeles. According to the United Nations (UN), Syrians are now the largest refugee population in the world under the mandate of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. One in five people displaced globally is Syrian.
In our fight against Ebola, we have seen great suffering, but also scenes of survival and resilience. Patients can beat this disease. The U.S. government in collaboration with our international partners, including many volunteers and NGOs, can beat this disease. To get to zero, we must remain vigilant. This unprecedented epidemic has required a herculean global effort. And we have seen how America's leadership galvanized a worldwide response from governments, NGOs, and volunteers. Ebola underscores the importance of tackling fragility and extreme poverty in these poor countries. It quickly debilitates weak institutions and systems, wreaking havoc in communities least prepared to fend off the disease. We strive to not only reach our goal of getting to zero Ebola cases in West Africa, but strengthen health systems, enable societies to fend off future threats, and allow those who lost ground to return to a path of prosperity and stability. These efforts are core to USAID's mission to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies. They are also critical to America's interests and security at home and abroad.
Forging strong partnerships will be critical to meet the immense challenges and needs ahead in Iraq and Syria. As part of our commitment to ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies, USAID will continue to provide life-saving, needs-based assistance and protect and empower women and minorities, while pushing to secure access to additional populations currently trapped in areas controlled by ISIL. Our hearts are with the thousands of people who remain trapped in unsustainable situations, and we are gravely concerned for the health and safety of these displaced men, women, and children, besieged by acts of violence committed by ISIL, the Syrian regime, and other extremists.
This unprecedented crisis underscores the importance of tackling fragility and extreme poverty. Ebola preys on weak systems, wreaking havoc in communities least prepared to fend off the disease. That is why we must work not only to control the epidemic at its source in West Africa, but to bolster our global health systems. These investments are critical if we are to avoid having future outbreaks that follow a similarly devastating and costly path. This effort is core to USAID's mission to both end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies that advance our global security and prosperity.
Today, 600 million Africans do not have access to electricity. Hospitals cannot function optimally. Businesses cannot open and children cannot read after dark. Food rots before it makes it to market. But it does not have to be this way. Together with our partners in Congress, Africa, other donor nations, and private businesses, Power Africa is working to greatly increase access to reliable, cleaner energy in Africa.
Today, as you know, the world faces the largest and most-protracted Ebola epidemic in history. This devastating virus has infected more than 14,000 people and killed more than 5,000 people across West Africa. The epidemic has spread through Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone—countries with fragile health and economic systems and recent histories of civil war or political instability. In addition, the Ebola virus has spilled over into three neighboring countries where the response has been swift.
Most of the families that have been affected already live in desperate circumstances, where securing clean water and food is a daily struggle. In Liberia alone, 58 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty with very few assets to help them cope. It is within this context that Ebola has emerged—threatening our global security and economy. It represents a national security priority for the United States and every other nation in the world.
The United States has been combating the Ebola epidemic since the first cases were reported in March, and we have expanded our efforts and increased personnel in the region as the crisis has unfolded. More than 120 specialists from across the U.S. government are on the ground in West Africa to prevent, detect, and stop the spread of this disease. USAID deployed a Disaster Assistance Response Team—or DART—to the region to oversee and coordinate the U.S. response, providing logistics, planning, program, and operational support to the affected countries; drawing forth critical assets and resources from several U.S. departments and agencies.
Through a whole-of-government approach, we're mounting an aggressive U.S. effort to fight this epidemic and have devised a clear strategy with four key pillars to stop this epic crisis: controlling the epidemic; mitigating second-order impacts, including blunting the economic, social, and political tolls; coordinating the U.S. and broader global response; and fortifying global health security infrastructure in the region and beyond.
We share your concern about the attacks on Christians and other vulnerable populations, who are suffering unimaginable horrors from the systematic violence carried out against them by the terrorist organization known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). USAID remains committed to providing assistance to all those in need in Iraq and will hold true to our mission to partner to end extreme poverty and promote resilient democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity.

Bryan and DiPietro also collaborated on the award-winning off-Broadway hit, The Toxic Avenger.
MEMPHIS is based on a concept by the late George W. George (producer of the Tony nominated Bedroom Farce and the film My Dinner With Andre), with direction by Tony nominee Christopher Ashley (Xanadu) and choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, The Addams Family).
Scenic Design for MEMPHIS is by Tony® Award winner David Gallo (The Drowsy Chaperone, Reasons to Be Pretty), Costume Design is by Tony nominee Paul Tazewell (In The Heights), Lighting Design is by Tony Award winner Howell Binkley (Jersey Boys), and Sound Design is by Ken Travis (The Threepenny Opera).
David Richardson of WOR Radio calls MEMPHIS "The biggest hit on Broadway" while Charles Isherwood of the New York Times says, "David Bryan evokes the powerhouse funk of JAmes Brown, the hot guitar riffs of Chuck Berry, the smooth harmonies of The Temptations, the silken, bouncy pop of the great girl groups of the period." The New York Post raves, "Of such thrills, Broadway is made," Newsday calls the show "A smash! An extraordinary show," the Daily News promises that MEMPHIS will "Blast you out the door humming and happy" and NY1's Roma Torre cheers, "MEMPHIS ROCKS!"
The national tour of MEMPHIS is produced by Junkyard Dog Productions, Barbara and Buddy Freitag, and Marleen and Kenny Alhadeff, with Latitude Link, Jim and Susan Blair, Demos Bizar Entertainment, Land Line Productions, Richard Winkler, Alex and Katya Lukianov, David Copley, Dancap Productions, Inc., 2 Guys Productions, Patty Baker, and Dan Frishwasser, in association with Eric and Marsi Gardiner, Linda and Bill Potter, Broadway Across America, Memphis Orpheum Group, Vijay and Sita Vashee, Apples and Oranges Productions, Brian and Betty Dovey, John Yonover and Ron Yonover, Loraine Boyle/Chase Mishkin, Remmel T.

Marlins can't escape rough fifth inning in loss
MIAMI -- Through all their early struggles, the Marlins have pretty much been able to avoid being hurt by the big inning.
They weren't so fortune on Wednesday.
Evan Gattis and Juan Francisco each homered off Alex Sanabia in a six-run fifth inning that powered the Braves to an 8-0 win over Miami at Marlins Park.
The eight runs were the most allowed by the Marlins this season, and they were shut out for the fourth time in nine games.
The way the offense has sputtered, any runs allowed right now are troublesome. The Braves essentially ended the game in the fifth inning with their six runs.
"It's tough to pitch and be perfect, especially when we're playing teams like the Braves and the Phillies," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "We've got to do our part to take the pressure off the pitchers. We can't ask those guys to go out and throw a shutout every single night to keep us in a game."
In the three-game series, the Marlins were shut out twice. They had just six hits in the first two games, and while they had seven on Wednesday, just twice did they have a runner advance as far as third base.
For the second straight game, Placido Polanco had two hits, including a double to open the second inning. But he was unable to reach third. And in the third inning, Chris Valaika doubled to open the inning. But Sanabia was unable to execute a sacrifice bunt, and he was left on third.
"We had a chance to be up 2-0, and we didn't execute," Redmond said. "We didn't have a lot of opportunities to score but we did have a few."
Behind Mike Minor's 5 2/3 scoreless innings, the Braves were able to carry over their success against Miami to 2013. A year ago, Atlanta won 14 of 18 meetings.
The Marlins' 1-8 start is the organization's second worst ever, topped only by the 1-11 opening in 1998.
On Thursday, Miami gets a breather with a much needed day off before the Phillies are in town for three games beginning on Friday.
"It's frustrating," Redmond said. "I know the guys are frustrated. We've just got to stay with it and keep battling. I think the off-day is going to be a nice breather for us, to help us regroup. We'll come back on Friday and try to win a series."
Until the fifth inning, the Marlins had not given up more than three runs in any inning. So the big fifth inning allowed Minor to relax and improve to 2-0.
"Pretty much one through eight [in our lineup], we've got guys who can put the ball out of the ballpark," Minor said. "A lot of times we can put up big innings. We're not really worried about it throughout the game if we have zeros on the board because at any time we can put one out of the ballpark."
In the first four innings, Sanabia got into jams three times, but he was able to get two double plays to keep the game scoreless.
The fifth inning was shaping up to be more of the same because Sanabia had two outs and just one run allowed before the home runs broke things open.
"I was out in front, rushing a little bit," Sanabia said. "Everything was flat, as opposed to the previous four innings."
Atlanta sent nine to the plate in the fifth and did its big damage with the long ball. But it was small ball that put the inning in motion.
Jordan Schafer reached on a bunt single and stole second base. With one out, Andrelton Simmons laced an RBI single. Sanabia got deeper into trouble by walking Jason Heyward. Still, he was in position to escape with just the one run allowed after he retired Justin Upton on a fly ball to left.
Gattis delivered the crushing blow, lacing a three-run homer to left field. It was his second homer of the series. The Braves kept the inning alive when Dan Uggla walked. Pitching coach Chuck Hernandez made a mound visit in hopes of settling the right-hander. But the first pitch to Francisco was blistered to center field. The monstrous drive smacked off the siding of the second deck, estimated at 436 feet.
"It was a rough inning. That's all there was to it," Sanabia said. "To Gattis, it was something enough over the plate for him to get it. And the one to Francisco was just a cookie down the middle -- nothing more to that."

Red tape binds orphans to lives without their families
A shutdown in a Guatemalan adoption program has left orphans in limbo, writes Rachel Swarns.
GUATEMALA CITY: The little boy flies like an airplane through the hotel, his arms outstretched. Then he leaps like a superhero, beaming as the red lights on his new sneakers flash and flicker, while the American couple he is with dissolve in laughter.
He calls them mama and papi. They call him hijo - son. He corrects their Spanish. They teach him English. "Awe-some," he repeats, eyeing his new shoes.
To outsiders, they look like a family. But Geovany Archilla Rodas, an impish six-year-old with spiky black hair, lives in an orphanage on the outskirts of the city. The Americans - Amy and Rob Carr of Reno, Nevada - live a world away. They are the only parents he has ever known.
They have been visiting him every year, usually twice a year, since he was a toddler, flying into this Central American city for a few days at a time to buy him clothes and to read him stories, to wipe his tears and to tickle him until he collapses in giggles at their hotel or in the orphanage.
Yet half a decade after agreeing to adopt him, the Carrs still have no idea when - or if - they will ever take Geovany home.
"There's this hope in you that doesn't want to die," said Mrs Carr, who arrived here last month with her husband, more determined than ever to cut through the bureaucracy. "In my heart, he's my son."
The Carrs are among the 4000 Americans who found themselves in limbo when Guatemala shut down its international adoption program in 2008 amid mounting evidence of corruption and child trafficking. Officials here and in Washington promised at the time to process the remaining cases expeditiously.
But officials and prospective parents say bureaucratic delays, investigations and casework hobbled by shortages of staff and resources have left hundreds of children stranded in institutions for years. Today, 150 children - including Geovany - are still waiting in orphanages and foster homes while the Guatemalan authorities weigh whether to approve their adoptions to families in the United States.
Stalled adoptions are not unique to Guatemala. Concerns about fraud, including allegations of kidnappings and baby-selling, have held up adoptions for months, sometimes years, from Ethiopia, Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam and Haiti.
But the problem of delayed adoptions is acute in Guatemala, a country of about 14 million people which in 2007 ranked second only to China in the number of children sent to the United States.
As officials spent months, and then years, trying to distinguish legitimate adoptions from fraudulent ones, many hopeful couples who had painted nurseries began to despair.
Faced with a seemingly endless process, scores of them quietly abandoned their efforts to adopt the children they once considered their own, officials say.
Guatemalan officials said they never intended for the children to remain institutionalised for so long. They say they have had to thoroughly investigate the cases, some of which are complicated by inconsistencies, false documents and questionable stories, to ensure the children were not bought or stolen from impoverished rural women.
"These are very vulnerable people, who can be easily taken advantage of," said Elizabeth Orrego de Llerena, the president of the board of directors of the National Adoption Council. "At times, they have not had the opportunity to make a complaint or to seek solutions."
Susan Jacobs, the State Department adviser for children's issues, has travelled to Guatemala four times trying to resolve the backlog and said the investigations have gone on long enough. ''If no one, after all this time, has come forward to say I want to give this child a home, I think the matches they have made in the past should be honoured," she said.
Only five adoptions have been made final in 2012. More than 100 cases remain unresolved, including Geovany's.
Last month, the Carrs flew to Guatemala for four days, determined to make some headway on their ninth trip in five years.
The Carrs, who have three biological children, adopted their first child - a girl, Samantha - from Guatemala without a hitch. They agreed to adopt Geovany in December 2007, just weeks before Guatemala closed its program. He was abandoned, their adoption agency told them. A clear-cut case.
They were told he would be home within six months, a toddler who would integrate relatively easily into their lives. They never dreamed they would be trying someday to assimilate a Spanish-speaking boy who had grown up in an orphanage, or be forced to confront the unexpected mysteries in his past.
Mrs Carr, 42, and her husband, 43, believe God has called on them to give Geovany a home.
But she admits, "if somebody had said to me five years ago, would you adopt a six-year-old boy, I would have said no," Mrs Carr said. "There are a lot of pieces of this that do concern me. He doesn't really know what family really means."
During their brief visit, there was little time to mull over such worries. When a manager from the Remar Foundation, which runs the City of Children orphanage where Geovany lives, brought him to the hotel lobby he hurtled into Mr Carr's arms.
For four precious days, Geovany was no longer a child without parents Instead, he was the centre of attention as he pored over the Carrs' family photos and greeted their children and parents in the US on video chat.
Geovany shrugged uncertainly when asked whether he knew what the word adoption meant. But he spoke with confidence when asked about the Carrs, saying they were his parents who lived in the US with his brothers and sisters.
During their visit, the Carrs alternated story time with Geovany with emails and phone calls to their lawyer, their interpreter and government officials.
They no longer expect miracles. But on this trip, they were determined to finally get what has eluded them. "Straight answers," Mr Carr said.
On their last full day in Guatemala, the Carrs learnt the authorities had finally unravelled the mystery of Geovany's origins. They had located his birth mother. The Carrs were stunned. "My heart just sank," Mr Carr said. "Another hurdle. How many hurdles are we going to have to go through to get this kid home?"
Mrs Carr thought fearfully about the stories she had heard about officials who forced birth families to accept their abandoned children, a charge Guatemala has denied.
Then she thought of that woman out there somewhere, Geovany's mother.
"We love him," Mrs Carr said finally. "We want him to be a part of our family. But if there was a birth family out there who wanted to raise him, would that be better for him?"

Hello dhamma wheel friends. Please share photos or tell us a bit about your small shrine area, photographs, special book, your Buddha statue. Where did you find that statue? Is there a story behind your amulet? Did you make this?
I have some beads and a photograph of Venerable Luang Pu. I don't know very much about Ven. but there is something about this picture that says arahant to me so whenever I look at him I think, time is precious and life is short - a good reminder throughout the day to be sure!

More Ag News
I farm ground in both the Upper Republican and Twin Platte NRDs.
I've got questions.
Where on paper are the calculations of the total estimated cost of the Big Project, including land sale, interest on the bond, pipe, land on the pipeline route, engineering, wells and so forth? In November, we heard an $83 million figure for the land. Now we hear $110 million, which will include building a pipeline.
Where are the calculations that translate the cost into exactly how much taxes will increase for farmers and the non-farmers, both occupation tax and property levy?
Why didn't the Super NRD do any competitive bidding when purchasing the Lincoln Farms property?
How can the Big Project begin issuing bonds, hiring contractors, and undertaking eminent domain before the NRDs amend their Integrated Management Plans to include this game-changing augmentation plan?
What effect will pumping water from the newly purchased Lincoln Farms property have on the surrounding irrigators in southern Lincoln County?
The occupation tax law limits NRDs from assessing more than $10/acre, which is the amount the the Upper Republican NRD already assesses. The Middle Republican NRD assesses $9.43. So will the general public be asked to take up the difference by an increase of the NRD levy on their non-irrigated property? A $10/acre increase in Perkins County translates into a 900% increase of the levy.
How can the Big Project's piping water to a creek that runs at least 150 miles from the Kansas line have any effect on Nebraska's water obligation to Kansas?
How, in good government, can the Super NRD already have sought and received a $76 million loan and continue to negotiate in good faith with bonding companies without addressing the simple practical questions above?
I don't think people are aware what has been done to them. There will be no vote by the public, as occurs for school bonds.
According the agreement signed by the four NRDs, now that the Super NRD N-CORPE has a loan, the individual NRDs have committed their tax payers to pay whatever it costs. And when the Super NRD convinces the bonding company to issue bonds for them, the NRDs have committed their taxpayers to pay that amount. It is government run amuck. At a minimum, people need to tell their NRDs to amend the N-Corpe agreement and their Integrated Management Plans so that the Big Project and others can be fleshed out before additional loans and bonds are taken out, and the actual tax impacts are admitted and agreed upon.
Last question: Where are you No New Tax Republicans when we need you?

A new book reveals the lessons anonymous Hispanic pioneers can teach us about caring for the environment.
"On the Edge of Purgatory: An Archaeology of Place in Hispanic Colorado" by Dr. Bonnie Clark, an associate professor of anthropology and an archaeologist at the University of Denver, explores the "unwritten history" of the Hispanic population in the southern part of the state.
Clark and some of her students examined the everyday lives of diverse populations in southern Colorado since the arrival of the first Europeans until the first decades of the last century.
Their analysis combined archaeological excavations in southern Colorado with contemporary ethnography and oral and written history and led to the discovery of the impact the region's economic and political changes had on the identity of the groups living there and about the role Hispanics played for hundreds of years in the development of ethnic identity in Colorado and in the West.
Clark describes her approach as "thinking about the present through the past." And one of the main lessons learned, she said, is the way Hispanic families could commune with nature, using renewable natural resources, but not "exploit" those resources and pollute the land.
Clark began her archaeological work in southern Colorado in 1993 as part of a team that was cataloging archaeological and architectural sites in the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site, which for three decades has belonged to the U.S. Department of Defense.
The PCMS is an area of more than 236,000 acres southeast of Pueblo, near the Purgatoire River, between the towns of La Junta and Trinidad.
Clark returned to the area in 2000 to conduct archaeological excavations as part of her doctoral dissertation, which she completed in 2003 at the University of California at Berkeley. Almost a decade later, this dissertation has been published in a book "that explores the Colorado Hispanic, which is both a place and a people."
Clark and colleagues focused on La Placita, a name given by researchers to an anonymous and abandoned site in which several Hispanic families lived for at least 10 years in the second half of the nineteenth century, forming a "regional community."
These families took advantage of the resources the land offered, for example, capturing rainwater, orienting the house toward the area receiving the most hours of sunlight (south), using local materials for housing construction, and eating what they could hunt or farm.
However, the arrival of the railroad and mining from about 1880 on marked the end of an era, forcing men to find to work away from their land and eventually leading to the abandonment of these lands and homes.
"The anglos took over the region, which led to the neglect of the history of the Hispanic presence. But the physical traces of their presence are still there, from architecture to waste," said Clark.
"Hispanics worked and lived in places like La Placita. Their children were playing there, because we found toys. Although children also worked, for example, hunting rabbits, it must have been an amazing place to be a child," she added.
According to Clark, the anonymous Hispanics of that time left an important lesson for the present, to "live off the land using the resources, but without exaggeration."
"They really knew the land. They lived in a beautiful place and were socially active. La Placita was the setting for socializing. It was a way to show who did not want to be anglo and who were content with what they had," said Clark.
For this anthropologist and archaeologist, how Hispanics relate to the land is very different than the way in which Anglos do. "La Placita is a testament to the love Hispanics had for their land," she said.By 1900, only 18 percent of Hispanics still had their land and homes.
La Placita, said Clark, is an example of what happens when self-sufficient families are forced into a wage economy.
"There are also lessons to be learned there," she said.

I grew up in Europe where I completed a medical degree and moved to the U.S. 10 years ago. Because of my busy schedule, I very quickly became accustomed to the "standard American diet" consisting mainly of junk food.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with a serious digestive illness, and I lost about 20 pounds. One day I visited the Lindberg Nutrition store in Torrance, CA, to buy protein powder. That day changed my life entirely.
I attended Judy Lindberg McFarland's free nutrition class and realized how uneducated I was about good nutrition.
Since then I have re-vamped my health and fitness program. I have been using Protein Blend, Varsity Pack 2 and ArthRenew by Lindberg. And I never leave the house without Lindberg Complete Digestant. Using these products have helped me be free of my digestive trouble for 5 months!
Thank you Nutrition Express, and thank you Judy! You opened my eyes to nutrition and were there for me when I needed it most.

Basically I love his domestic policy stance, but I've heard him speak on the war several times. He's a little to "cut and run" for my taste. However, he'd probably get my vote as he seems like one the most genuine politicians in a long time.
And ultimately thats what I want. I am a republican, but I have reserve about Guiliani and other mainstream candidates, simply because I believe that should they be elected nothing would happen. They would be too constricted by hand shake agreements, and would not be gutsy enough to make some radical changes. I just want someone who will do something, not just bide time.

You know, there was a time, not long ago, when the debate was about TV versus Radio. I think it was JFK who really killed the "radio politician." Ron Paul is only polling around 2% nationally (although some say he's around 7.5% in New Hampshire) but he's dominating the internet. Can a grass roots campaign get off the ground based on an internet led campign? Absolutely. Ron Paul has an enormous sum of money for a candidate who started among the second or third tier. But can he actually win? Who knows... Maybe the important point is the internet is providing a platform for him to be heard. And whether you like his policy or not, the man deserves to be heard. He's about the only candidate who has made me really think and reconsider my position on some major issues. Plus he's honest, which I respect, even though I certainly don't agree with everything he has to say.
I know little about him, but I do know that they were handing out Ron Paul for President stuff at the panthers game the other day and that there are Ron paul for President signs all over huntersville where I live. Thats the only signs I've seen for the presidential race so far of any candidates.
I will however say, the signs that keep popping up are against the town ordiance on signage, so that should be fun for his local campiagn office when they have to go back out and collect all of those.
Interesting Gyron. Of course, the amazing thing about the Paul campaign, it there is no local campaign office. I read the Hillary Clinton has a campaign staff of over 500 people. Paul has about 50 people. The people putting up those signs are all spontaneous volunteers who are not coordinated by the official campaign at all. It's really sort of crazy... I read an article the other day that even Paul is baffled by what's happening.
Only now do I realize that this isn't Mal talking. It's a guy named Mav.
Hey Mav, are you involved with the Ron Paul campaign?

Nope, not at all. And sorry for the confusion. I usually read the Pacers board but I don't post very often.
EDIT: I don't know who I'm going to vote for. Sometimes I wonder if Paul is a nutjob ... other times I think it's everyone else who is nuts.

Ron Paul - The new hope...
Isn't hope Barack's thing?
He was on Leno last night (Paul that is), and while his ideas are nice, there's no way 75% of them are plausible.
-He said he wants people to have the option whether or not they use SS, and the govt can't touch any of the money.
-Wants zero income tax.
-Go back to money being hard backed by some resource.
-Wants to pull out of Iraq immediately, and completely stop being the "police of the world," meaning no troops anywhere outside the US borders
-No allies with foreign countries, but be friends and work with everyone
-Free trade with anyone and everyone
-He wants very VERY limited govt., and go back to the original Constitution, no more no less.
In theory it's all great, but unfortunately we live in reality. If he was elected he would basically want to completely tear down and rebuild America as we know it. He even talked about how we should go back to how the country was ran prior to 1913. It's like he wanted to completely forget the past 100yrs.
He used an analogy last night comparing Iraq and medicine (he's a liscensed doctor). He said that if he was to misdiagnose someone, he wouldn't keep treating them the same way but stop. He said that's what we're doing with Iraq. We misdiagnosed the situation, went in when we shouldn't have, so we should just cut and run. If my doctor misdiagnosed some type of disease I had, realized it, then said "welp sorry, you're just going to have to deal with my mistake and because I did make a mistake I can't treat you anymore" I'd be one pissed SOB. He needs to atleast try to rectify the mistake, and try to find out what is wrong with me and treat that accordingly. Not just stop.
Anyways, there's my rant on the particular subject.
He's just living in a fantasy world if he thinks he could get a quarter of his ideas through Congress, and the ones he did get through would be minor compared to what he's actually running on.
If Ross Perot had stayed in the race instead of quitting and then re-starting, we may have had a very different country right now.
It could have developed into a 3 party (2 big and 1 little) system. And he could have actually won the race with less than the majority instead of just being a Republican spoiler.
I still voted for him because I disliked both Bush I and Clinton creeped me out.

No, but a Gore presidency might've......what? I didn't say anything...What was the question?
A gore presidency would not have stopped 9-11, the planning started long before bush even came into office. They were gonna attack no matter who the president was.
4.2 million in donations in one day, could get some people talking. Especially if they start seeing his face everywhere. Wouldn't it be interesting to have three real strong contender candidates in the race? That would be historical.
It's funny .... some of Paul's most "radical" ideas are not radical at all. In fact, he's VERY close to Milton Friedman who asked "How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat is poses to individual freedom?"
By the way, Fortune Magazine says Friedman is the "economist of the century" ... Washington Post "the most influential living economist since WWII" ... Times "hundred most influential thinkers of all time" etc etc etc.
Paul is gaining momentum because he links foreign and domestic monetary policy. It would be nice to stay and fix Iraq.... but it's not free, it's tremendously expensive. And we're not likely to "fix" anything for a very very long time. In fact, so long, it could bankrupt this country.
Anyway check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKZmIzEMUN8
He wants the Constitution treated as the original document and not a living/breathing one.
Some of his ideas aren't quite 180 degrees differently than how we do things now, but they're pretty damn close. His ideas aren't radical like we think of radical religionists that are fundamentalists, his ideas are radical in that they're a complete change of direction. The level of change he's calling for is way out in left field that have no hope of getting done.
The byproduct of bringing the military home serves several purposes. One, it will save the US about $1 trillion dollars per year. Two, we can use our forces to secure and defend our borders (solving the immigration problem). Three we can use the savings to pay for certain entitlement programs that need to be funded - like social security.
In the meantime, we can allow young people to opt out of social security if they want to. We can also eliminate the Federal Income Tax so people keep more of what they earn.
Eliminating the Federal Income Tax would only require government spending to be reduced to what was spent in the year 2000. Does anyone believe it's too much to ask the goverment to spend what they did only seven years ago, if we can save almost $1 trillion dollars on our screwed up foreign policy? Further, you may think your income tax dollars pay for all sorts of wonderful goverment entitlement programs. But the reality is you tax dollars may for (largely) interest on our goverment debt.
Paul is not an isolationist. Paul would talk and trade and encourage foreign travel. But he would not subsidize foreign goverments with taxpayers (YOUR) money. Whether it's the $16 billion we gave to Pakistan or maintaining bases in Korea for the last 50 years, US foreign policy is tremendously expensive. And it's leading to the decline in the value of the US Dollar because the Federal Reserve simply prints more money out of thin air to pay for exorbitant spending. Ron Paul wants to stop the madness.
You can think of Paul's position in VERY simple terms. The goverment spends YOUR tax dollars on a foreign policy that is a complete mess. If we changed our foreign policy we could fix social security, defend our borders, end the war, bring our troops home, oil would drop $20 per barrel over night, and you would no longer have to pay Social Security tax or Federal Income Tax.
If we do not change our Foreign Policy odds are the US Dollar will continue to decline in value, oil will continue to rise, our troops will be in Iraq for a very long time (even Hillary Clinton says until 2013), you will continue to pay in tax almost 50% of what you make to the government. And who knows what socialized medicine or a National ID card or a border wall will cost. Tons of money.
And things could get worse. If, for example, the US atacks Iran we'll likely see $200 oil.
Now, which idea is more radical?
I'm glad someone gets the point I was trying to make.
I'm not going to debate what he says he will try to do if elected, because it's a moot point. Even if he does get elected he won't be able to do 3/4ths of what he wants, because he can't introduce bills into Congress. Even if he manages to find someone who thinks like him, a committee in both houses would have to approve it, before it ever sees the floor.
If for some messed up reason it does see the floor, you think 50% of Congress will vote for it? Get real.
His ideas are radical because they're completely opposite of the norm. Whether you think the norm is right or not isn't the question.
This raises a broader point. It has become fashionable among certain commentators to hurl insults at Ron Paul such as "huge weirdo," "fruitcake," and the like. Interestingly, the same thing was done to another anti-war medical doctor/politician, Howard Dean, back in 2003, as Charles Krauthammer infamously pronounced with regard to Dean that "it's time to check on thorazine supplies." Krauthammer subsequently said that "[i]t looks as if Al Gore has gone off his lithium again."
For a long time now, I've heard a lot of people ask: "where are the principled conservatives?" -- meaning those on the Right who are willing to oppose the constitutional transgressions and abuses of the Bush administration without regard to party loyalty. A "principled conservative" isn't someone who agrees with liberals on most issues; that would make them a "principled liberal." A "principled conservative" is someone who aggressively objects to the radicalism of the neocons and the Bush/Cheney assault on our constitution and embraces a conservative political ideology. That's what Ron Paul is, and it's hardly a surprise that he holds many views anathema to most liberals. That hardly makes him a "fruitcake."
Hillary Clinton supported the invasion of a sovereign country that had not attacked us and could not attack us -- as did some of the commentators now aggressively questioning Ron Paul's mental health or, at least, his "seriousness." She supported the occupation of that country for years -- until it became politically unpalatable. That war has killed hundreds of thousands of people at least and wreaked untold havoc on our country. Are those who supported that war extremist, or big weirdos, or fruitcakes?
Or how about her recent support for Joe Lieberman's Iran warmongering amendment, or her desire to criminalize flag burning, or her vow to strongly consider an attack on Iran if they obtain nuclear weapons? Is all of that sane, normal, and serious?
And I read every day that corporations and their lobbyists are the bane of our country, responsible for most of its ills. What does it say about her that her campaign is fueled in large part by support from exactly those factions? Are she and all of her supporters nonetheless squarely within the realm of the sane and normal? And none of this is to say anything of the Giulianis and Podhoretzs and Romneys and Krauthammers and Kristols with ideas so extreme and dangerous, yet still deemed "serious."
That isn't to say that nobody can ever be deemed extremist or even crazy. But I've heard Ron Paul speak many times now. There are a lot of views he espouses that I don't share. But he is a medical doctor and it shows; whatever else is true about him, he advocates his policies in a rational, substantive, and coherent way -- at least as thoughtful and critical as any other political figure on the national scene, if not more so. As the anti-Paul New York Sun noted today, Paul has been downright prescient for a long time in warning about the severe devaluation of the dollar.
And -- as the above-cited efforts to compel Congress to actually adhere to the Constitution demonstrate -- few people have been as vigorous in defense of Constitutional principles as those principles have been mangled and trampled upon by this administration while most of our establishment stood by meekly. That's just true.
Paul's efforts in that regard may be "odd" in the sense that virtually nobody else seemed to care all that much about systematic unconstitutional actions, but that hardly makes him a "weirdo." Sometimes -- as the debate over the Iraq War should have demonstrated once and for all -- the actual "fruitcake" positions are the ones that are held by the people who are welcome in our most respectable institutions and magazines, both conservative and liberal.
I like the guy. He would have my vote if he were to win the nomination. Sad thing is no one outside of Charlotte's World Wide Web has even heard of the guy, much less are willing to vote for him.
