From staff reports
Men charged with breaking into vehicles: Two St. Johns County men were arrested early Saturday morning in connection with vehicle burglaries in Heritage Landing. The two suspects were Jonathon Edward Gagnon, 24, and Jesse Jacob Bolton, 28.
Gagnon is charged with two counts each of burglary to a vehicle, battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence, and one count each of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, obstruction and criminal mischief. He was released after posting bonds totaling $11,500. Bolton is charged with two counts of burglary to a vehicle and one count each of resisting arrest without violence and criminal mischief. He remains in jail in lieu of bonds totaling $4,000.
According to a release by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the 2800 block of Sheephead Court shortly after 1 a.m. in reference to a suspicious incident. A witness observed two men exit a vehicle, approach another vehicle and attempt to open the doors. Both subjects then walked toward another street, and the witness called the Sheriff's Office.
As deputies arrived, they observed the two suspects inside a vehicle in the 2700 block of Spinnerbait Court. As deputies approached the vehicle, the two men got out and fled through the backyard. Both suspects attempted to clear a privacy fence, and one of them (Gagnon) was caught. The suspect fought with Deputy Zeke Kelly and other deputies until he was secured, the release said.
Deputy J.D. Hayward responded with his K-9 Joker, who tracked the suspect to Mandarin Terrace where he was apprehended without further incident.
Tires slashed in Northwest: A suspect or suspects are being sought in connection with numerous tires that were slashed over the weekend in three Northwest neighborhoods, according to a release from the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to Durbin Crossing North, Aberdeen and Julington Creek Plantation on Sunday morning for the many reports.
In all, 101 tires were slashed or punctured on 28 vehicles at 17 residences in the three areas. Thirteen vehicles at eight homes were damaged in the 1600 block of Fenton Avenue. The majority of them had all four tires damaged.
Nearby, there were 13 vehicles at seven homes in the 1700 block of Pennan Place that had tires damaged.
There are no known suspects. Anyone with information that could identify a suspect is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Mike Strausbaugh at 209-2141. Citizens can also remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a cash reward by calling CrimeStoppers of N.E. Florida at 1-(888) 277-TIPS (8477).
SAPD issues fraud warning: The St. Augustine Police Department has issued a warning concerning two different cases of attempted fraud. In both cases, the victim was contacted by phone. The person on the other end claimed the victim either owed money or had won money.
They were instructed to go a local store and purchase a Green Dot card and put money on that card. They were then told to call back to a number and give the caller the pin number of the card.
In both cases, the victim believed the story but later became suspicious and stopped all contact with the caller. In one case, the victim was elderly; the other had little understanding of English.
The following was compiled from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office (SJCSO), the St. Augustine Police Department (SAPD), and the St. Augustine Beach Police Department (SABPD):
n Who: Creech, Kevin Brent, 44, of Elkton. Charge: Battery. (SJCSO)

A teenage drag-queen contest, organized by a group of
Southold teachers and 10th-graders during a recent holiday trip to Europe, has
split this East End community over the question of whether the event was
offensive or simply high-spirited fun.
Dubbed the Miss American- Euro Drag Idol Contest, the show featured a group
of boys nicknamed the Dirty Dozen who donned makeup, bras and women's clothing
with the help of female classmates who were also on tour. While school
officials have described the mock pageant as a way of keeping students occupied
and out of trouble during an evening in their Rome hotel, some Southold
residents voice outrage over certain aspects of the contest - for example, one
teen's posing as a bullwhip-cracking dominatrix.
These critics see such activities as potentially embarrassing for teens
still struggling to come to terms with their sexuality. They question who acted
more sophomoric - the sophomores themselves, or teachers who judged the
competition and cracked jokes that were sexually suggestive.
"Can you believe it?" said Maryann Gensler, a parent active in volunteer
work, including religious instruction at a local church. "It's beneath the
dignity of these young people. This is not how we want to encourage them to
From her work with children, Gensler knew several who took the trip,
including one boy who said he found the drag show offensive. After watching
videotapes of the performances, Gensler objected to Southold school authorities
and later filed a complaint with the state Education Department. A decision is
pending by the state over whether the teachers acted improperly.
Meanwhile, some parents whose teens took the 10-day trip to London, Paris,
Florence and Rome say they see nothing offensive in the drag competition, which
they regard as a harmless spoof on traditional beauty contests.
"I can't get excited about it - I think it was healthy fun," said Bruce L.
McDonald, whose daughter was among 39 sophomores from Southold High School who
participated. McDonald added that the tour, in his opinion, helped build
"appreciation for arts and architecture and the European experience."
The Miss AmericanEuro contest appeared well on its way to becoming a
Southold tradition - at least, until controversy erupted. A photo of the Dirty
Dozen in skirts and halter tops appears in a recent issue of the school
newspaper The Sentinel.
The competition, which took place during spring break on April 8, was
essentially a repeat of one staged by Southold students during a similar tour
two years ago. Like many educational trips abroad, these were approved by the
school district, and run by a private travel company, with participating
families paying fees of about $1,950 per student. Six Southold teachers served
as chaperones.
Videotapes show teenage contestants appearing one-by-one before the judges,
after being introduced with such descriptions as "curvaceous," "devilish" or
"shagadelic." Other 10th-graders who are spectators can be heard laughing, as
one contestant pops a bullwhip. At one point, a male judge adopts a falsetto
voice in asking a contestant, "If you could have any man, who would you pick
and why? And please pick me, baby."
"In hindsight, you think, wow!, maybe we could have toned it down," said
Ivan Santiago, a social-studies teacher who organized the trip. He noted,
however, that the drag show was only a brief episode during a lengthy trip, and
that many parents had thanked him for organizing the tour.
Richard Caggiano, president of Southold's school board, whose own daughter
took the trip, agreed that many families had found the experience rewarding. He
added, however, that teachers would be cautioned on the need for more
appropriate behavior during future trips.
Donna Dzugas-Smith hopes her district has learned a lesson from the
controversy, and that behavior will indeed improve. Her son Derek, 16, took the
tour, but chose not to dress in drag, on grounds he found it morally offensive.
"Seeing is believing," the mother said.

Enlarge / Who came up with these names? Welp, it wasn't an AI.
At some point, we've all wondered about the incredibly strange names for paint colors. Research scientist and neural network goofball Janelle Shane took the wondering a step further. Shane decided to train a neural network to generate new paint colors, complete with appropriate names. The results are possibly the greatest work of artificial intelligence I've seen to date.
Writes Shane on her Tumblr, "For this experiment, I gave the neural network a list of about 7,700 Sherwin-Williams paint colors along with their RGB values. (RGB = red, green, and blue color values.) Could the neural network learn to invent new paint colors and give them attractive names?"

Saying the legislation would be "unbelievably damaging" to the state, the head of a major economic development group is urging Gov. Jan Brewer to veto legislation expanding the ability of businesses to use their religion to deny services.
Barry Broome, president of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, said he had four companies call him within hours of the House giving final approval late Thursday to SB 1062 saying they were no longer interested in considering the Phoenix area for new locations "specifically because of this bill."
"I've had a CEO tell me that his HR director advise him that under good conscience she could not relocate any of the people that work for the company into this market because of this bill," Broome continued.
He said officials from two companies already in Arizona told him Friday that some customers are dropping them, also because of SB 1062.
"This bill will be unbelievable damaging to the branding and the reputation of the state," he said. "It's not an exaggeration."
Broome is expressing those views in a letter to Gov. Jan Brewer, urging her to veto the measure when it hits her desk on Monday.
Brewer, in Washington for the National Governors Association conference, provided no clues.
"It's a very controversial piece of legislation," she told a CNN crew that caught up with her on Friday. "I've got to get my hands around it."
Brewer, who has touted what she calls the "Arizona comeback" as part of her legacy, has been especially sensitive to things designed to promote job growth.
Late Friday, Secretary of State Ken Bennett added his objections, calling SB 1062 "an unnecessary measure to protect a God-given right already assured by the Constitution."
Bennett, a Republican candidate for governor, said he supports religious freedoms. "But divisive measures such as these distract us from the most important challenges facing Arizona: jobs and economic development."
Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, also seeing the GOP nod for governor, said he wants to protect religious rights.
"But I also am a member of a church that has experienced severe persecution because of its beliefs," he said. Smith also cited a "detrimental impact on Arizona's business environment at a time when our economy is still fragile."
"SB 1062 will simply be used to caricature our state and hurt our economic growth and should, for that reason, be withdrawn," said Christine Jones, another Republican gubernatorial hopeful.
State Treasurer Doug Ducey, also hoping to be the next governor, said he is studying it, saying he will "approach this as both a man of faith and a businessman."
All that has put Cathi Herrod of the Center for Arizona Policy, which crafted the measure, on the defensive.
"None of the objections to SB 1062 have anything to do with the bill's language," she said, accusing foes of trotting out a "parade of horribles."
More to the point, Herrod said businesses in Arizona already are free to refuse to serve gays.
That's because existing anti-discrimination laws apply only those who are in what are called "protected classes" spelled out in statute. That covers things like race, religion, gender and national origin.
In Arizona, however, there are no state laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, though several cities do have local ordinances.
Broome is not alone.
Gonzalo de la Melena Jr., president of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce also wrote Friday to Brewer, saying his own board voted unanimously to oppose the legislation. He cited not only constitutional and legal issues but also the belief that the measure is aimed at the LGBT community "which like all communities in Arizona contributes greatly to our economic health."
But de la Melena, like Broome, worried about the issue from an economic development standpoint, saying the legislation will "ultimately have the effect of casing Arizona in a negative light that stands to damage our reputation nationwide and globally."
Most other business groups are sitting on the sidelines, at least for the time being.
"We're taking a look at it," said Roc Arnett, president of the East Valley Partnership. Ditto the Tucson Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona.
Calls to the statewide and Phoenix chambers went unreturned.
But some individuals are weighing in.
"To pass a bill like SB 1062 would be bad for business," said Colette Barajas, owner of Centra Realty in Tucson. "People will not want to come to Arizona. People will not want to stay."
Herrod, however, said the whole point of the measure is being misunderstood and distorted.
"The issue here is that Arizona should be free to live and work according to their faith," Herrod said. She said SB 1062 is simply "clarifying" an existing Arizona law which already allows business owners to use their religious beliefs as a shield against certain government regulations.
But it may matter less to the governor what the measure says than the message being received by the businesses her Arizona Commerce Authority is spending millions of dollars to lure here. Broome said they see the legislation as a sign that Arizona, the only state where lawmakers have approved this particular measure, is hostile to gays.
"I would encourage businesses to look at it from an opposite viewpoint, that Arizona should be a state that respects and values diversity of religious beliefs," Herrod responded. "And we are a state that is open to enabling business owners and individuals to live out their faith."
Broome, however, was unmoved by Herrod's argument that Arizona needs a new law to protect religious freedom.
"The Ku Klux Klan in the South, their main argument was with a Bible in their hands," he said. "There's a long history of people engaging in persecution in the name of their religion."
Broome said this is different than what happened after Brewer signed SB 1070, the 2010 legislation aimed at illegal immigration. In that case, he said economic development experts had no problem explaining to businesses why it was appropriate for Arizona to enact such laws – and why that should not affect any decision to locate here.
"We had a serious immigration problem and the state was trying to address a problem that was real and known," Broome said.
Not so this time.
"There's no rationale behind this bill, other than the bill is designed to target certain classes of people," he said.
There already is precedent of sorts for what is in SB 1062.
For example, doctors who have religious objections to abortion cannot be required to perform the procedure and cannot be disciplined. Similarly, a pharmacist cannot be forced to stock or supply the so-called "morning-after" pill, which is designed to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, even if that is the only pharmacy in town.
Brewer vetoed a measure similar to SB 1062 last year, but that had nothing to do with what was in the measure. Instead, Brewer was miffed that lawmakers had ignored her demand to send her a budget and approve her plan to expand Medicaid before sending her anything else.
"It is disappointing I must demonstrate the moratorium was not an idle threat," she wrote at the time.

So exactly how bad will Weekend 4 be?
Posted 22 June 2008 - 04:36 PM
So please, tell me the truth, huh? Going by what the past three weekends entailed, will SWW 4 Sunday be absolutely mad crazy crowded that it will have a personal impact on my experience in the park?
Posted 22 June 2008 - 06:00 PM
Every weekend is different. It all depends on who the actors are that will be there. First Saturday (and Sunday) were really quiet. I walked into the park at 9:15AM and would have been able to get Jeremy Bulloch's autograph. Second Saturday, (I got there in front of the gates at 8:15AM) was not even a possiblity for David Prowse, however I did get Peter's. Yesterday, I got there the same as last weekend and got 2nd session for Amy. Matthew Wood's line was long, but not nearly as long as David's the previous weekend.
Do you plan on getting all 3 autograph's or just one? If you want all 3 and you are going all 3 days, I suggest Warwick on Friday, Jake on Saturday and the director on Sunday. Everything depends on what time you decide to get there and what you are trying for.
PS. I almost forgot. Merchandise will be cheaper by half.

Be sure to get your TSM fastpass right at park opening to ensure you get one. The crowds have been large, but much of it is SWW related. The right side of the park (Sunset Blvd, Animation Academy, et al) haven't been that congested with guests.

I do plan on getting my FPs at the top of the day, and I hope I have no problem with it. I just want to know what time I should start camping out at the gate just to ensure my first place in the line.

They are. I believe it's every 20 minutes for about an hour. Minnie, Mickey and Goofy/Donald and then they start over. Minnie comes out first does her 20 minutes, then Mickey comes out and does his 20 minutes and then Goofy/Donald come out and do their 20 mintues, then Minnie comes out again etc....
The other characters are all over and it varies depending on where. They really are all over the park. Lots of different locations.

I just can't wake the kids up earlier than 5:30 or I'll be guaranteed to have a cranky day.
I'm figuring even if I don't get him on Saturday I can still go by myself on Sunday.
We also want to get a pic with Leia Minnie and Donald Darth maul and goofy Darth vader. Those are our priorities on this last weekend.
My son lucked out: since weekend one he saw the Darth Donald/Goofy/Vader/Maul t-shirt and he got to buy it on Saturday of weekend 2. I'm waiting for weekend 4 to buy some stuff hopefully on sale.
BTW: last weekend after getting our FP we headed over to Animation Bldg just to relax a bit and found sorcerer Mickey all by himself. We interacted with him for a while and after getting his picture he had us pose and he took a picture of us. This was around 10am.

If this is your only day to get an autograph I wouldn't be any later than 7am just to ensure yourself of a fastpass. During Weekend #1 I didn't have any problems getting the Fast Pass (second session) by arriving at 7:30 am or so. (It was a little later than that I think).
But if you want to be in and out, MATT is right. I do think 4am is extreme though.

If anyone on the board goes on Friday please let me know how bad is the line for Dave Filoni so I have some idea on what to expect.
We also might go there on Sunday afternoon just to catch the last Hoopla and the last Clone wars preview.

I hope to stay around and see the Hoopla, if we're not too tired or exhausted from rain/heat.

Special Video Report:
Are you ready for some football (science)?
Courtesy: National Science Foundation, NBC Learn and The National Football League
Think you know football? Ok, what's a prolate spheroid?
NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, has teamed up with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Football League (NFL) to produce this 10-part video series focusing on the science behind NFL football.
This groundbreaking project uses the global spotlight of the NFL games to make science more accessible and more interesting to students, by showing how science helps athletes accomplish their goals by exploring concepts from geometry like the Pythagorean Theorem, physics concepts like torque, velocity and accelleration and more.
By the way, prolate spheroid roughly describes the three-dimensional shape of a football.
Select a video by clicking on a topic below
Passing and Vectors
This segment looks at the role vectors play every time an NFL quarterback throws a pass. With the help of former NFL quarterback Joey Harrington, NSF-funded scientists explain how to use vectors to calculate the speed and direction needed for a completed pass.
Punting and projectile motion and parabolas
This segment looks at the science of projectile motion and parabolas with the help of former NFL punter Craig Hentrich. NSF-funded scientists explain the significance of vertical and horizontal velocity on the trajectory every time an NFL punter kicks a football into the sky.
►Watch the video
Training Camp: Nutrition, Hydration & Health
This segment looks at the physically demanding pre-season ritual of NFL training camp. Professor Douglas Casa, head of the Korey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut, and athletic trainers from the Pittsburgh Steelers explain what NFL players must do to stay hydrated and replenish the essential nutrients needed to maintain good health during rigorous practices.
►Watch the video
Kinematics and running backs: Position, Velocity & Acceleration
This segment explores kinematics on the playing field. Scientists Tony Schmitz from the University of Florida and John Ziegert of Clemson University explain how the kinematic concepts of position, velocity and acceleration can be used to define how a running back moves.
Geometric Shapes: Spheres, Ellipses & Prolate Spheroids
In this segment, NBC's Lester Holt explores the prolate spheroid, the three-dimensional shape of a football, and how it helps an NFL quarterback throw a hard, accurate pass.
Newton's First Law of Motion
In this segment, NBC's Lester Holt looks at Newton's First Law of Motion and the role that unbalanced forces play whenever a ball carrier goes head to head with a defender.
Newton's Second Law of Motion
NBC's Lester Holt and former NFL kicker, Morten Andersen, look at what's really behind powerful field goal kicks--Newton's Second Law of Motion.
Newton's Third Law of Motion
NBC's Lester Holt looks at Newton's Third Law of Motion and the role that conservation of momentum plays whenever players collide on the football field, with former NFL linebacker Hardy Nickerson, Tony Schmitz of the University of Florida and Jim Gates of the University of Maryland.
Offensive linemen and torque
NBC's Lester Holt looks at how the physics concepts of torque and center of mass are applied in football by some of the games most massive players--the offensive linemen.
Tackling and the Pythagorean Theorem
In the last segment of this video series, Lester Holt explores the path a defender must take in order to tackle a ball carrier, and how this distance--called the "angle of pursuit"--can be calculated by using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and the distance of a defender's angle of pursuit.

Research company Milward Brown has released their fourth annual Brandz Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands review and Google has beaten Microsoft and Coca-Cola to the top spot. Not only that, but their brand is also the only one on the list valued at over $100 billion dollars.{ad}
Microsoft managed 2nd place with a worth of $76 billion and Coca-Cola came in thrid with $67 billion.
The top 10 breaks down as follows:
- Google – $100 billion
- Microsoft – $76.2 billion
- Coca-Cola – $67.6 billion
- IBM – $66.6 billion
- McDonalds – $66.5 billion
- Apple – $63.1 billion
- China Mobile – $61.2 billion
- General Motors – $59.7 billion
- Vodafone – $53.7 billion
- Marlboro $49.4 billion
Milward Brown believe that branding plays a key role in allowing a company to survive in difficult conditions like the economic climate we are currently in. Joanna Seddon, chief executive of the research company commented:
In the current environment, where the value of many businesses has fallen, brand has become even more important because it can help to sustain companies in tough times … Those who continue to invest in their brand will be better positioned for business growth as the economic situation starts to improve than those who have cut spend.

Matthew's Opinion
I think if you stopped people on the street and asked them who they think would be the top brand worldwide most of them would probably say Google. Their name success comes from their dominance online as our number one place to search.
Countless PCs will be set to use the search engine by default, but this is further backed up by the number of applications and services we all use everyday carrying the Google name. Gmail, Google Docs, Google Reader, YouTube, Blogger, these are all popular destinations for users and they all reinforce that branding.
I don't think they are going to leave the top spot any time soon either. Who is going to come along and knock then off? With online becoming such a key space for everything we do brands for specific real-world products won't be able to match the brand identity of a company that operates in the online space. Google's closest rival is Microsoft, but they don't look to be closing the gap, although a successful Windows 7 launch may change that.
Check out the top 100 and let us know if you see any surprises in there. Is 6th where you'd expect Apple to be, for example?

The over-expressive, make-up loaded and super-conniving vamp of the small screen has faded away, making space for realistic characters with grey shades, says TV actressRidheema Tiwari.
"The days for typical vamps have gone now. Most of the negative characters are situational nowadays," Ridheema, who plays a grey character in new show 'Love Marriage Ya Arranged Marriage', told IANS.
"I spoke to the writer of the show, and he said 'All of us have a good and bad side and when a situation goes wrong, our bad side comes out.' This is what my character is about," she added.
Except for her last two shows - 'Sasural Genda Phool' and 'Rishton Se Badi Pratha', the actress has always been seen in negative roles. And she is happy to get back to the genre.
"There was a time when I was not given positive roles to play. So getting back to playing a negative role was not at all difficult for me," said Ridheema, who last played a grey character in 'Annu Ki Ho Gayi Wah Bhai Wah'.
After being part of almost six shows in television, Ridheema is a known face on Indian telly.
She also tried her luck in Bollywood, but in vain. The actress says that she is "dying" to be part of films made by Gangs Of Wasseypur filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.
"Before 'Rishton Se Badi Pratha', I tried my hand in Bollywood for one and a half years. I had a secretary too. I took the best of pictures, and I tried to get my foot in it by doing southern films as well. (But) I think it is (all about) destiny," she said.
"But with Anurag Kashyap making such lovely films, I feel we all have hope in Bollywood," she added.
Her original plan was to become a doctor, but she ended up entering the world of showbiz around four years back. The actress says she loves the profession and has realised that this is her true calling.
"I've never planned anything in life. I come from a simple background. My parents are teachers. I always wanted to become a doctor. I took life as it came to me," she said.
The actress dedicates all that she is today to her spirit of learning.
"I may not be the best actor, but I am hard working. Every day I want to learn new things. This want of learning has made me what I am today," she said.

After installing my RS4 grille in the center, main grille area, I wanted to make my fog grilles match the same mesh style. While there are tons of options out there to buy generic mesh or worse yet, chickenwire from Home Depot, I wanted the mesh to match 100% so I went and bought some OEM RS4 lower grilles that I could then modify to work on my B7 Audi S4 bumper. You can pickup the grilles below:
|View all items...
|(Powered by: WP eBay Ads)
The process is nearly the same as the RS6 grille mod – simply cut out the mesh from the RS4 grille using a dremel or similar instrument, cut to the mesh desired size, cut out the insides of the existing S4/S-line grilles, then use ultra strong adhesive to glue in the RS4 mesh to the S-line grille surrounds. I had my body shop do the dirty work on this mod, but I used this DIY as inspiration if you want to try it yourself.
No paint is required, and the fog grilles are easy to take on or off by pushing in three tabs, so this is an easy DIY!

Looking sexier than ever! I hope you are enjoying it more than the A4 because this is definitely right on spot.
Definitely liking the progress so far! Great additions.
How come you took the black 19″ BBS wheels off? They would look great with the new blacked out additions! Otherwise, loving the car! Do you know of any similar DIY VW GTI Mk2/Mk3 blogs out there?
Love the new looks, I actually have a Red B7 A4 and have been saving up to do the same paint additions (Specifically the chrome strip on the trunk). How much did that put you down?
Hey Nick,
Nice work on these upgrades and really nice style choices.
Where did you pick up that front lip? Is it CF of just CF look?
Also are you riding on stock suspension or have you upgraded that as well?
hey nick where is a good place to buy that sportback chrome grill
Hey Nick, what kind of adhesive do you use for the lower grill diy.
What size are the tires on this car Nick? I'm assuming these are 19″ wheels? The front looks non-lowered and I like to look if I could get it to that without lowered, hoping I can do this exactly with my 2008 B7 A4 Quattro Special Edition that has factory 17″ wheels.

But that's not the end of the fight over debt, said U.S. Rep. James Lankford, R-Okla.
Lankford visited Oklahoma Gazette Aug. 3 and discussed the debt-ceiling debate and legislation, as well as several other issues.
The freshman congressman voted for the deal, but expressed doubt about what could be achieved to reduce the nation's debt through a single piece of legislation.
"It's only partially over. The actual war on debt has just begun," Lankford said. "After seven months of talking about it, there were some people, I feel like, who had an unrealistic expectation of what we could accomplish in one bill."
Lankford said there are parts of the deal that he doesn't like, such as it not immediately addressing discretionary or mandatory spending. But overall, the deal is adequate: It cut $7 billion in discretionary spending next year and changed the upward trajectory of federal spending by flattening it.
"The deal itself is not as bad as it's portrayed to be, but it's not as good as I would like it to be. It really doesn't deal with immediate spending as fast as it needs to deal with it, but we're getting this huge hit on 'You're throwing the poor out in the streets,'" Lankford said.
Lankford, along with other members of Oklahoma's congressional delegation, received some criticism for voting for the deal, and some have said the debt ceiling should not have been raised at all.
"I think anyone who says we'll never have to raise the debt ceiling again, we can in just one month stop making all payments and get back in balance, underestimates how bad it really is," Lankford said. "Quite frankly, for people who said to me, 'Just let the economy collapse, that will teach them,' I just beg to differ, because the people who would suffer the most are not in Congress. It's a tough lesson to teach Congress, by causing a worldwide collapse of the economy, about ineptitude."
Lankford said there are three ways the next debt ceiling debate could play out: The bipartisan 12-member committee established by the legislation could create a proposal to cut $1.5 trillion in spending over the next 10 years. Simple majorities in the House and Senate would pass the proposal, and the debt ceiling issue would be addressed after the 2012 elections.
Alternatively, Congress could approve a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution and send it
to the states, which would automatically raise the debt ceiling $1.5
trillion. Failing those two accomplishments, there would be $1.2
trillion in cuts across the board, except for Social Security, Medicaid
and veterans' benefits.
one wants that (last) one," Lankford said. "The president doesn't want
that one because it lands the debate right in front of the election.
Democrats and Republicans don't want that one because it's
indiscriminate on how it cuts. It leaves really two options on how to
get there: a balanced-budget amendment or the select committee do your
job and to pass this."
Switching gears, Lankford said he expects Texas Gov. Rick Perry to run for president.
"I can't imagine he's not," Lankford said. "Everything is set up in a way that's set up to run."
said the decision not to seek re-election from U.S. Rep. Dan Boren,
D-Okla., came as a surprise to him, but that, being part of the minority
party, and as part of the conservative Blue Dog Coalition out of favor
with Democratic leadership, there was probably little Boren could
kept that as a very tight-lipped secret," Lankford said. "If he's going
to sit there and do nothing for a couple of years, it would be a lot
more fun to be with his (10-month-old) son and watch him grow up."

"ISIL is as sophisticated and well-funded as any group that we have seen," he said. "They're beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded. Oh, this is beyond anything that we've seen. So we must prepare for everything. And the only way you do that is that you take a cold, steely, hard look at it and — and — and get ready."

If you are a Washington Capitals or Los Angeles Kings fan and are reading this, you have reason to be excited about your teams.
If you are a supporter of any of the 28 other NHL clubs and are reading this, you must have just snapped out of your coma courtesy of the snoozefest otherwise known as 2011 trade deadline day.
Cue the snoring.
In one of the most disappointing overhyped events weve see in years, only Caps general manager George McPhee and Kings colleague Dean Lombardi caused significant ripples throughout the National Hockey League landscape on Monday.
On an otherwise sleepy day when most of the leagues 16 trades were of the minor variety, the Caps easily were the big winners moving forward, acquiring puck-moving defenceman Dennis Wideman from the Florida Panthers and veteran centre Jason Arnott from the New Jersey Devils.
Arnott cost the Caps forward David Steckel and a second-round pick while the cost for Wideman was a reasonable package of forward prospect Jake Hauswirth and a third-round pick.
With the race for the Stanley Cup as wide open as it has been in years, those were small prices to pay for a talented Caps team that addressed a couple of significant holes.
Arnott scored a Stanley Cup winning goal for the New Jersey Devils; is a former captain of the Dallas Stars; and brings some much needed muscle up the middle that will take some of the pressure off first-line centre Nicklas Backstrom. With Backstrom likely centring Alex Ovechkin and Arnott expected to line up with Alexander Semin, the Caps will have two formidable scoring units heading into the post-season.
Wideman, meanwhile, can step in for sidelined defenceman Mike Green, who will be out about two weeks with a head injury. Along with being a power-play quarterback, Wideman can move the puck quickly up to the teams cache of fast-skating forwards.
We did not give away a first-round pick, McPhee said. We did not give away any of our A prospects ...
Im very happy with what weve acquired.
He should be, given that every top team in the east has its share of warts heading down the stretch toward the post-season.
The rival Pittsburgh Penguins have lost Evgeni Malkin for the rest of the season and Sidney Crosby, well, who knows when hell be back. The Philadelphia Flyers arguably have the most depth in the league but does the goaltending duo of Sergei Bobrovsky and Brian Boucher really scare anyone? The Tampa Bay Lightning has an inexperienced blue line while the Boston Bruins are still looking to advance past the Eastern Conference semifinal.
Good on McPhee for being so proactive.
The same could be said for Lombardi. In a Western Conference where the difference between fourth and 11th is just five points, picking up hulking Dustin Penner from the Edmonton Oilers was a bold move, not to mention a shrewd one.
Yes, the price was a steep - a 2011 first-round draft pick, a 2012 conditional second-rounder, and defenceman Colten Teuber. Having said that, would you want to be an opposing goalie with big bodies like Penner, Ryan Smyth and Michal Handzus standing in your face? No way.
Heres a look at some of the other highlights and lowlights from the 24 hours leading to Mondays 3 p.m. deadline:
1. Capitals: Dream day for Ovie with Arnott, Wideman coming on board.
2. Kings: Penner won a Cup in Anaheim; now hes just up the freeway.
3. Canucks: Good depth players in Chris Higgins, Maxim Lapierre.
4. Hurricanes: Bryan Allen brings much-needed beef to blue line.
5. Sabres: Expect Brad Boyes to flourish in the Queen City.
1. Panthers: Wideman for a minor-leaguer and a third-rounder? Ugh.
2. Canadiens: Arnott would have been good fit for team lacking forward size.
3. Stars: Brad Richards stays ... but can they afford him next year?

NEW YORK, March 24 (UPI) -- U.S. actor Patrick Swayze called the recent death of his "Waking Up in Reno" co-star Natasha Richardson a "great loss."
The pair acted in the 2002 comedy alongside Charlize Theron and Billy Bob Thornton.
Richardson, who was married to actor Liam Neeson and was the mother of his two sons, died last Wednesday of head injuries sustained in a skiing accident at the age of 45. She was buried Sunday in upstate New York.
Swayze has been waging a high-profile battle against pancreatic cancer for more than a year.
"It is such a great loss to this community to lose an actress and person such as Natasha," Swayze said in a statement issued to People.com. "Gifts like her don't come along very often. It's a rare thing in this industry to have someone with so much talent, beauty and dedication and yet is imbued with such humility. I know for me and many other people, the world will be a different place without her. My heart goes out to Liam and his two boys but I'm sure that Natasha's light is shining down on them."

I think a second civil war could happen again.
Its over 75,000 now.
They'll wipe their ass with the petition and life will go on.
Obama's not going to go down in history as the man who let the country fall apart.
Please, this is just silly.
Its an online petition.
The WH will respond with a thank you for your interest in our Democracy. End of conversation. Meanwhile 25,000 plus people just had their names added to the enemies list.
I see nothing wrong with preparing for the inevitable day that the great ship United States founders.
One would have to be a damn fool to not prepare for the eventuality espechially when it's well known that captain is steering you into the rocks.
People who participate in this are not showing patriotism.
They are showing support for dismantling the United States.
What we need to focus on, are the policies and methods we will use to turn this situation around.
All you have to do, is look at the states involved in this, to know this is a futile effort.
New York, New Jersey, Oregon... folks, you'd wind up with a situation much like what you've already got. You'd also wind up with a severely socialist nation on your border.
This petition stuff makes us look one dimensional, and nutty.
Sure, they'll deny it. And probably sic the IRS on everyone who signed it.
0bama will acknowledge these petitions as well as he's responded to Benghazi. These petitions are lists of people 0bama wants to know about. I'm sure 'Big Sis' will gladly take these names and put them on 'no fly' lists.
So, this says to me, "Hail, Obama the King"?
It is broken, FRiends. We no longer own our country. The Fedrool Gum't has co-opted our monies, our properties, and our livelihoods. Regulations, taxes, and redistribution are the law of the land, now. The States are sovereign, but titless...
I will go with those Founders who broke ties with the form of gum't which reduced them to serfs or less! They were common folk just trying to make a life in a new world. THIS IS A NEW WORLD!
The TEA Party was a citizen rebellion due to unjust actions by the recognized gum't. The Declaration of Independence was given to that king by our Patriot Founders when the Throne no longer wanted to do anything but tax, tax, tax.
Sound familiar? But now, it is not only that we are taxed to death (and beyond), but class warfare, racial warfare, and redistribution is the only thing going FORWARD!.
I'm not a secessionist ... but I don't by the "sunshine patriots" trope. They're no more sunshine patriots than were Jefferson, or Adams, or Robert E. Lee, or Sam Houston.
These are good people that are tired of negotiating how they live their own lives with statists in California and New York; of fighting for the freedom of fellow citizens who resist genuine liberty at every turn; of trying to convince the "governed" to stop consenting to encroachment in exchange for pitiful "benefits".
They've realized the country doesn't seem to want them around, and they'll be fine on their own. The country needs them more than they need it.
"When in the course of human events ..."
Atlas eventually shrugs.
Count on it.
Let's answer this question first...
How many times in Obama's 4 years has he been required BY LAW to simply respond to a LEGAL court order... let alone produce any information or documentation proving his eligibility to hold office?
How many times did that happen? and how many times did he comply?
Answer that question, and you have your answer to this one.
Czechoslovaks, Soviets, Yugoslavs and Sudanese didn't think their nations would ever break apart, either.
No. If it's not signed by celebs, it's not worth their time. However, in return, the WH will do everything in it's power to slap down every state that questions them.
"Will White House be forced to respond to Texas secession petition?"
No. He won't—he's the dear leader. He'll do anything he wants.
If he does respond, it will probably be something like "Sorry 'bout your luck, Bub" or he'll just blow it off completely and go play golf. He's god, remember? And is only accountable to himself.
Of course not. If there's one thing we've come to expect over the last 4 years, it's that the Obama regime has no respect whatsoever for any law, except their own.
What if Texans withheld federal income tax? What could the feds do?
Would Texas lose vital government services? /snort

DSU officials in China to promote programs
Dickinson State University officials left for China Sunday and will be meeting with leaders from China's higher education institutions to promote educational opportunities in agricultural studies.
University officials, including DSU President Dr. Richard McCallum, will be in China until the end of the month.
DSU and Northwest A&F University in Yangling, China, signed a memorandum of understanding Tuesday to foster collaborative, agricultural-based efforts to benefit both universities, according to a press release.
McCallum called the partnership "a significant academic moment for DSU with great potential for future international and agricultural collaborative efforts."
This agreement brings the number of academic partnerships established between DSU and institutions for higher education in China to 13, according to a press release.
DSU director of university relations Constance Walter said this is the first time officials are meeting with Chinese officials regarding agricultural studies.
"This is an opportunity for the university and the trade commission to explore with other universities in China, the opportunity to develop ag studies there as well," Walter said.
McCallum was not available for comment Tuesday.
Lt. Gov. Jack Dalrymple and other members of the North Dakota Trade Office also left Sunday with a delegation representing North Dakota companies and organizations on a trade mission to Indonesia and China.
"North Dakota's exports to China are increasing, but we see much more opportunity considering the country's rapidly expanding middle class and sustained economic growth," Dalyrmple said in a press release Monday.

Hellwig S, Hack I, Kowalski J, Brunne B, Jarowyj J, Unger A, Bock HH, Junghans D, Frotscher M. Role for Reelin in neurotransmitter release. J Neurosci. 2011 Feb 16;31(7):2352-60. PubMed.
Please login to recommend the paper.
This paper by Hellwig et al. provides evidence to support yet another function for reelin in the CNS: presynaptic neurotransmitter regulation. The authors demonstrate that absence of reelin results in alteration in proteins involved in presynaptic machinery. Specifically, organotypic hippocampal slice cultures obtained from reelin-deficient (reeler) mice have an increased number of synaptic vesicles in CA1 stratum radiatum and reduced SNAP-25 expression. These changes are rapidly reversed with exogenous reelin application, or, conversely, can be mimicked with the application of CR-50, a reelin function blocking antibody. Surprisingly, no changes in vesicle number or SNAP-25 are seen in mouse knockouts of either the two reelin receptors (ApoER2 and VLDLR) or the intracellular adaptor protein, Dab1. This strongly suggests that reelin acts through a novel mechanism distinct from its well-known signaling ability via ApoER2 and VLDLR to influence presynaptic function. How might reelin be signaling? The authors used the RGD motif-containing integrin inhibitor peptide cyclo(Arg Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Val) on wild-typeT hippocampal organotypic slices to mimic the reeler phenotype of increased synaptic vesicles. Furthermore, the RGD peptide can effectively block the aforementioned reelin-dependent recovery of synaptic vesicle number in reeler slice cultures.
These results are not only the first to demonstrate a presynaptic role for reelin, but also the first to show a physiologic effect of reelin signaling that is ApoER2- and VLDLR-independent. Furthermore, they may shed light on the association of reelin to integrins, a connection that has been known for some time but misunderstood. This new role of reelin may represent a model for reelin processing by which signaling fragments with specific functional domains can interact either through the ApoER2 or VLDLR receptor system or through integrin-mediated presynaptic modulation to affect synaptic function. The current report underscores the importance of reelin in normal synaptic function and memory formation, and reveals the implications of Alzheimer's disease-related alterations in reelin expression and processing. Furthermore, research from Joachim Herz and colleagues showing ApoE isoform-reelin interplay during hippocampal plasticity focuses attention on the importance of understanding the role of reelin in Alzheimer's disease etiology and early-stage, short-term memory loss.

Archive Binge
on Aug 31, 2009
The Irregular Webcomic crowd has launched Archive Binge, a service that will take an existing webcomic and feed it to you via RSS at the rate you choose. So, if you've never read Order of the Stick before, all you have to do is:
1) Go into the kitchen
2) Open freezer
3) Insert head
4) Close freezer really hard
5) Realize the pain and facial damage is a just punishment for missing out on such a fine webcomic.
6) Go read OOTS
But you're daunted by reading all 672 strips at once, you could tell Archive Binge to make a special RSS feed that will give you 2 OOTS strips every day until you're all caught up.
It's a great idea. Note that if you sign up for Irregular Webcomic and elect to read one a day, you will never catch up because David Morgan-Mar is an unstoppable madman. However, if you elect to read two Irregular Webcomic strips each day, then in 2407 days – just over six and a half years – you'll be all caught up. Yeah. You might want to read more than one of those a day.
DM of the Rings is one of the available comics. If you've always wanted to read that, now would be a good time to do so. I won't even make you do the freezer thing.

DC Music Salon - Woody Guthrie, an Outlaw
Friday, Sept. 28, 2012, 4:45 p.m.Shaw (Watha T. Daniel) Library
DC Music Salon - Woody Guthrie, an Outlaw
DC Music Salon
Wednesday, October 17, 7 p.m.
Wednesday, October 17, 7 p.m.
The centennial of Woody Guthrie's birth is being celebrated all over the world this year, including at the Library of Congress and the Kennedy Center. Guthrie, who was considered by some to be a dangerous political radical, has left us an enormous, fascinating and complex legacy. We intend to explore this and additional areas that other celebrations may ignore -- the perfect way to kick off the third season of the DC Music Salon!
We're lucky to have this discussion led by Jeff Place, chief archivist at the Smithsonian's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage and co-producer of Smithsonian's new Woody at 100 boxed set. Jeff, a lifelong D.C. resident, is on the advisory board for the Woody Guthrie Archives. He has been involved in the compilation of more than three dozen CDs for Smithsonian Folkways, has curated museum exhibits and programs at the Folklife Festival, and has been involved in radio shows and countless other works illuminating the life of Woody Guthrie. Jeff has been nominated for four Grammy Awards and 10 Indie Awards, winning two Grammys and five Indies. We're very excited to have him with us on Oct. 17.
We'll show footage, listen to great music, and learn a bunch about Woody. We'll put his "left-wing sentiments in even sharper relief" as we explore new facets of this artist "rooted in country music and the blues, capable of writing in any style, from earnest Appalachian ballad to topical broadside, from hillbilly lament to whimsical children's song" (New York Times).
"There was a high wall there/ That tried to stop me/ A sign was painted that said 'Private Property'/ But on the other side it didn't say nothin'/ That side was made for you and me."
-- This Land is Your Land, Woody Guthrie

A new report says that Massachusetts taxpayers are paying an astonishing $25 million a year to welfare recipients who may not be eligible to collect. We spoke with Massachusetts State Rep. and welfare watch dog Shaunna O'Connell about this report that almost 10 percent of the 51,311 families on welfare collect benefits without having to provide.documentation.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Now there's a there was a new report out there yesterday -- -- and I know I know this world you'll find this extremely shocking. Base state taxpayers are shelling out an honest these staggering 25 million dollars to a year to welfare recipients who might not even be eligible for collect. According to a blistering new report from one of the State's top fraud fighters. The report focused on families with -- at least one child estimated almost 10%. Of the 51311. Families on welfare. Are able to collect are able to collect benefits from the department of transitional assistance without having to provide the right documentation. Is anyone surprised about this I'm just surprised that they're always saying there's 45 million dollars in waste. Joining us now on the line is a -- no coddle the state rep for a month. Plot and who's been not trying to do something about this welfare mass shot China isn't this a eight tiny yeah. Tip of the iceberg figure here that we're talking about 25 million dollars wasted. Well absolutely tip of the iceberg Harry you know I thought we're actually go more than six weeks without another EDT scandal. But we're just not gonna make it against. These these these the the things that get me I mean -- -- -- work I mean we don't we all see this every day I mean it work outside -- recipients work outside jobs welfare violation waste four point four million taxpayers though. In one case PTA never bothered investigating a tip the one woman was -- running that they care so Cairo. They hold more than the 2500 minimum mass 2500 dollar -- Masset one welfare recipient was even -- -- about housing unit collecting a thousand dollars a month rent. Failed to provide X acts adequate proof for forever residency which costs four point form. Billion million. In one staggering example recipient listing his address merely as deceit as appeal boxes allow the collect another was able to claim their child who went to school in Puerto Rico. You know it but isn't the problem that if a if -- if the investigators attempted to follow this up the -- probably find themselves. You know being accused of some kind of I hate crimes by the by by the public sector the the public defenders. Oh yeah you know -- -- how other people that work an -- -- calling me telling me. That they are outraged that they asked to turn air -- -- diet that's what they're told to do. I didn't -- management. It is EPA is yes I'll where agents and it it has got to stop. It's my darling it's if the if the people at the top wanted. To be run this way you can't we call it mismanagement Kenya. Well again I think I can is about you know it's the governor doesn't. Want to -- its partners earned of these -- their time and let these people and it turned a blind. To all of this you know by the without. I got an email from some of the other day I would network's money operatives and they sent to me. China I had to let someone in the program who who gave Social Security number for a seventy year old guy who worked part time at Home Depot. And I had to let her. Into the program it was a war on the. In -- I assume the reason she could never own all Social Security number was because she was an illegal aliens. Well you know. Will never know because they don't check any and. I mean why else would you be if you were a US citizen you can just gonna but he office and got a one a Social Security card right. Actually providing good point absolutely you know if you here lately you have the sense -- security number or maybe she's using more than one and he has got to keep on here doubling up and I think gaming the system has become a perfect. In Massachusetts and people are getting really get out there. Right well there was a story the other day about how the I think it was the I G of the it's social security department and Washington said that there were they were giving away thousands of -- -- social secure it Social Security numbers to to war -- More than 12. The thousands of people. And they and they and they were doing have a same office I mean it was the same thing was going on it was it looked like looked me like what was going on with the registry of motor vehicles where they arrested that guy the other day he. Mean he was giving out hundreds of fake driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Yeah I mean so unfortunately have people that work right here in our state departments helping these people defraud the system. So it's how these people that want it you know that the mister deeds DA together can sit here with a straight face and this band what they're doing. Is beyond me and people have really got to get outraged. Call their representatives. Today tomorrow because I have got legislation I filed -- that will take care of these problems and it it's in his hands. There occasion of assets and identity that would happen before and -- -- -- -- in to any of these programs. We we should ensure that we -- about the that that that hard that we gather the bill that the show that somebody in Pittsfield had 7000 dollars on their right EBT card what did anything ever become a bath. No I that was so what we've got a couple of letters and city DJ that we're still waiting for answers on and -- -- -- stone wall state big. -- -- -- -- great store I would love to find out you know what the what the you know what the highest amount is on -- BT card and you know what like the top. The top 100 Arkansas I'll bet I'll bet that's 7000 is not is not nearly the pop pop pop -- in the whole state of Massachusetts. I'll bet you're right we have our requests in for information we are and a patented do tree in the information perhaps. Even economic they represented at. -- to get this information as you know they guard it like it is now. How about this one failed to prove their child was even related to them a blunder costing seven point four million we've been talking about this a story that was in the -- -- item a couple of weeks ago that now now illegal alien children are just arriving. They said the they just send them across the border and they and they seem to end up in land. And they just that you show up on city hall's doorstep and so we need help and you know we don't have any money we don't speak English. We don't have any relatives here and we just have to be taken care of by the state I mean how many how much how much of this is one. -- -- not checking Social Security number it's clear from that report. They're not checking interrupted how somebody gave -- PO box. As they're drafts they were allowed to get assistance. Very basic continue to do itself verification and where are they do it's not a form it's airlift here. It is much in grants and this is my -- remains and that's acceptable. So I'm you I really that's where the public out there to get behind me because that's how we got it some last year. To get my legislation passed again this year has what I am proposing will fix these problems. Submitted false or misleading information about a spouse they claim to be absent two point nine million and some -- you know that's going to be that's just going to be you know it's got to. You know multiply that by fifty. In some cases women signed affidavits claiming the father was never around only to have a subsequent trial by the same man. Well -- I don't know I mean just reading the things that -- support your child -- -- you know otherwise you probably read this one. Do assets are not counted. When they're trying to figure out if you qualify for assistance. So that they don't include your -- assets. The order and of course the other way the way the other way around that is -- just to work under the table right I mean that's the -- -- and way of all. Yeah I was putting people to buy -- we have been out asset verification where you know -- -- -- on a boat to bail out of our own another house you know. Do they ought to happen. Business certificate here in Massachusetts. It's -- builders like it's something all clues that tell you that this personal living above their means. And those are things that are not being parents are right now they don't even used the registry of motor vehicle information to verify -- People have -- -- The simplest things. The simplest things that basically -- But again the -- you know -- the fish rots from the head as a former governor wants you know and and you have a governor here who doesn't want to do one thing about this problem. If anything he wants that he wants to cut down on the amount it -- Taxes these people. Indirectly pay. By he's street trying to cut the sales tax and increased the income tax though. You know everybody even if you're even if you haven't worked and five generations you have to pay a sales tax -- wants to cut the sales tax on his constituents. In increased the income tax on the people who don't vote for because they have jobs and PayPal sexism and for web. Oh yeah I can't keep cutting its sales tax that you know -- that everybody Kate and he's -- attacks that only hard working. The only and colored people pay out there you know it's there. Hit and it outrageous thing to take two billion dollars out of the economy right now. Everybody's pocket right now. It -- and let us further at a cost jobs it's gonna hurt hardworking families we're not talking about the so called 1% is not that we're talking about people that work hard every day. To support their analysts. And. People don't know what the elderly people and we're building should talk about what bill should mention are sure which they say when they call. So they should say the O'Connell. Homes. CDC. For our bill. The home O'Connell. EDT fraud bill. You know these are just 617 says these are just more anecdotes how -- nothing to get upset about let's keep our focus on high speed rail. Alia yeah. And you know keep buying -- -- -- -- only one program and it's one of the smaller programs. Deputy coupons. Let's talk about the food stamp program the -- program. It that that this this audit that it included that program. So you can imagine. How much more -- areas out and we -- promote the drug rates at my comments here or at least. Either of -- people. Trafficking -- are selling them. Yeah here's one a six oak tree I mean this I've had the same under the same problem or and I and I -- and dozens of people helpful to the same thing I'm just about to tell you. -- I normal woman in New Hampshire who gets SSI and he BT also an SSI check for her kid. She cleans houses and does they carry tried reporting it they don't care that's just that they don't. You know people ask me sometimes do you can you give me a number for the -- online at the at that. The bta I say I can give you want to but I you know I don't want to waste your kind. But he you know it's then -- not to adorn the bank. I know and it they have I never that they don't do anything that's -- you're -- -- police officers. I act here heard from a lot of police officers and they say you know China. We are and we feel like eight beta I was into what they don't do anything about it so it's not even worth all. You know it it really is that we need. A new administration and there so we didn't really get into that program I don't. Out of control and Republicans controlling approach on I mean you have to admit that. Well you know why and and and your your point is well taken but I wasn't here that I'm here now and not Italian and I want excellent. All -- these are caught in the program. Let's see. Let's see how we -- -- and Wakefield who doesn't pay taxes and collects food stamps and goes to food pantries it's just not fair. Of course is just not fair mean this is the way dissuaded you wanna tell talk about the fraud you've seen give us a call 1877469432218774694322. What I don't understand is how how -- how the governor can just like you know I mean how we can just. Not turn totally turn a blind side of this in and nobody nobody -- you know I know there are few people like you know your co sponsor their homes. Who was who's concerned about this but basically did the the Democratic Party who's the majority party in the state. Currency at target turns its back on this stuff they don't king and any even though their constituents I don't -- care. Yet they do and it it's you know -- -- I think people actually getting back docket yet they're afraid to stand up for. For the taxpayers they're afraid that they are not gonna get voted Beckett -- stand up. Hardworking taxpayers at -- and that is totally -- -- Let's hear a lot of my colleagues did supported but stake out leaned on by this. So governor app the last Bennett and some of them have actually and the second downs so we need big -- -- support their constituents they need to know that. They can also has -- -- I think especially isn't like a Republican report -- was issued this was the inspector general I mean this guy is appointed to ease the ease the new guy but he's appointed by Democrats. You know -- person that I. I don't know -- Republican or Democrat but he was picked. By what the the AG who's a Democrat the auditors and Democrat in the were in the governor who's a good -- so he he is. He's beholden to Democrats and he still come out with this report which is again even though it's the tip of the iceberg it's still devastating. Oh eras and I wish you and I am glad that you made here are some of the recommendations he did I am very practiced it and it out to support. It would be nice to do an even larger sample. It's see what's going on this program but how we let me tell you on the docket number from my bill yeah age it's agency. The re re eight. For. 33 H 3384. I reached eight for HD 3384. Okay. Okay Todd your next with how we card represented Sean O'Connell from applaud gore had Todd. Asia from 191000. Of these Elizabeth Warren letters. -- back on deliverable. Two sent out to people -- EDT cards. And the governor fiddle around with it and try to deny there -- able to access to the numbers in the -- -- was swept away. What capital. Yeah apparently there are still scrubbing that list because. I've got an article that -- -- -- -- tugged at just about for more. I've got -- Residents of that information as well and as usual you know there's no longer -- -- -- would go right. But it will never go play until they fix it. You've got to find out too how much how much money some of these people on these cards is that just gonna drive people crazy I mean that's when I saw that number almost fell over 7000 dollar. And like I told me that he he never sent it to me but he said -- -- -- another one another card out this is a Pittsfield the you know you -- yeah. A Pittsfield -- the as a hotbed of welfare abuse -- guess that I guess everywhere is hot bed and he -- that he had seen one out there that had 111000. -- we believe you know any. You know you wonder where these scare comes out and and how they do they're they're they're pretty you know I wish to put much effort into -- it's not been working they did in its campaign. You know you have 70111000. Dollars on Jiri BT cart does it then you've got to have more than one right. Army -- just got to have a bunch government you're just you're just using one to save up some money it's like yeah its like having a savings account. Yes somebody these guys that they -- related drug bust and they get these people they have 345. Of their goal EB -- I hear that from the people that people that work exports of your comments like this out of money don't let another one and then another one and not a lot. And you know I mean we we app that does this is worth repeating. It ruined the integrity the program for the people that really need it and children are all year and our -- -- now because of all of this fraud and abused and people taking up. Precious resources that we really don't have to. Susan you're next with how we car and where president Sean O'Connell go ahead Susan. -- While so called friend. Should not long -- and she has action may. She's gay 425. A month for that eat an electorate. She points and that she has legitimate job for thirty hours a week really I used to work. Then she went under the table and won some a couple of years ago actually making. Seven. He has been -- every week under the table. But army reported a legitimate third. When he talked. I'd talk but that hasn't ultimately her helping her out. I quad section eight housing. -- quarterback. And the girls said wow I don't know what to do it goes. -- for supervised. I've kept trying to -- -- mother -- and -- say not not saying that not -- is not. And now I know it's. -- Adobe Whitey you know I mean that's why that's why don't like about the number anymore I don't like to just at the people's frustrations. You know and and -- the -- -- and shop is in hopes Powell. Then they are living well she is and they need to have top men and she's railroading. And getting on them up -- -- 401. Side was he you know actor -- -- -- And I know not that nobody will do anything about it. I know I got an -- -- -- I hear all the time is when people report tried. So that we need to do out obviously it's a war reporting -- that the I think another step and we need to take next. It's to take that they reporting out of the hands of the people who are administering these programs because they have no reason to want to stop this fraud and abuse. Because the Big Brother program they grow more jobs and they keep their jobs. So we have to take reporting away from adding to the to some independent. Agency or department or outside source or something to get to the -- these. Did you buy guns with the BT cards 774 once and up. -- -- -- It it is illegal to icons with EDT cards however if somebody doesn't report it. Mean like that you could go by you can going to west pawnshop they would know what to buy in right. Rise and it. It is illegal to do about it. Just how -- you -- copy is the is the IG on line is that is our report on line. You know it should be online if you Google. NASA NASA inspector general's office and that would be the best way into a Google mass inspector general's office and -- just clicked for the latest report this of this will be the latest report was only issued. Issued this that this this week. You know what I put it up on my web site to that's a good idea arms on O'Connell dot. On Sean -- dot -- as JU. In two winds are one and -- and two wins in China and two wins in O'Connell. I'm Oakland dot com okay so what they can get you can get your -- up thereof and probably by tomorrow at least. So you don't have that up there by the end of the night you know like how I got to build the first might argue it's 3384. I have another one to reach the reach step eight. So if people call their legislators haven't decide not to those two bills that's what we. It please keep us informed about the 7000 dollar -- yeah I know what is. Yeah. We we just we did -- all of about it not a follow up and we might -- and that doing. Treatment and -- are stuck but I looked up -- to your. Can you imagine this -- Q yeah I mean if you imagine if you know if they if -- a problem with your Amex card -- your arm these are your MasterCard. Could get to the bottom of it in five minutes you know. It did -- -- and they can get the bottom of this -- at five minutes to I think you know or at least five -- -- But they'd say you're right -- they're just they're stonewalling dragging their feet they don't they don't want another -- a series of by headlines. You know but did you know what they're gonna get the they're gonna get the headlines the headlines are gonna come out we're gonna find out how many people have. Have tens of thousands of dollars on these cards and you know not that'll change anything but a little embarrassed the governor and they'll go out there and again and talk about anecdotes and will all -- government. And he want and he won't care -- -- your next with Howie Carr and Sean O'Connell go ahead -- I -- I'm calling from how it I'll stay here -- and I'm in the medical field. I had some client and then and Egypt and their. And by Canada and honored. You know I have a woman separated from the guy -- Q what did you walk trot out for her and I didn't let Cummins girl that I. We're talking with -- that are very bright people. And -- -- may opt to stay and I am I -- I -- you know what you guys do that. She do it would do it she told me it. -- well and I that there are. -- job -- know we change remains that. You don't stay. It's a lot. What is -- that -- They came to met with the can't come to me because they heard there was no work. We're sorry I'm -- kill broke up but there it just yeah I didn't. But I doubt about it good that. -- you know. The country the country has like one over three million jobs are going unfilled and I assume some -- for things like biochemist I mean I think our. Are we looking for some biochemist down here to work in the labs. You know I went to problems down here right. And wait on the governors that we have always got Salmonella -- seldom. They'll figure. -- -- you come over here from Egypt that you'd decide not to work 18774694322. -- in your next with Howie Carr and represented Sean O'Connell go ahead Dan. I that was the thing. How we would -- home that the -- carries its I I had to pull over one point. Secondly I'd like that I think representative. O'Connell in person or over the phone I recently -- FaceBook message sent in from Winthrop. Commentator for the job she's doing. It could interpret them. It was -- -- one of the things address my wife and I queasy. We -- at a local PD. And and it's not like an isolated incident we've been shopping for a good four years that this particular one since it opened. And one of those teams you can tell when people buying things restored because it's like. Cases upon cases of water action cookies and stuff like that. So on I would say -- in three -- dozen occasions. And that conservatively speaking. In the last one took the cake was about probably a month ago we were in line -- kindness can only had a talent in the east and everything. And the woman. And he can count maybe the fight for vending machine tool or convenience store something like that it combines a lot of quality. Well frequently what they do was build up with all these cases so this activity ultimately get through. And then what they'll do it'll take -- to usually ticket EDT I don't swipe at. And then it will knock it down on the -- that was not -- You know add something to while this one took the case because this one. It's quite different the PG -- What's that one and pulled it the second EDT kind -- that put that line. Take note that he -- two guys swiped it put that went away and then talk about what. And then took up a PPP. It's quite did not like that thousand dollar bills or just about. Got a couple hundred bucks and then pulled out one at that particular. Oh my god yes you know what I was saying that people have the report I EDT cards. Yeah what we have it would cut time people called in and said the -- they weren't they they'd seen him up in New Hampshire buying booze. With a Massachusetts EBT -- so they're trying to even beat the sales tax. -- it in Nam in New Hampshire. This I get through before you guys may -- alcohol but I'm much of that that that ban is even working now though is that you -- Well you might expect somebody has report and I think that a lot of people that sell alcohol take it seriously because there are very tough penalties yeah if you get caught Philly -- without sound lighters cigarettes it's a collapse that it's not much. I mean a lot of people Obey that law. The New Hampshire that was what I'm saying we are trying to answer now that we're trying to beat the they they were they were probably trying to beat this the law against selling booze with the BT card they were also trying to beat the bottle bill deposits. You know and then and then you know that that -- in the you're in Florence in you know a new year drinking surveys of the spot for that spot by the taxpayers. It's it's just I don't know it's just it hit it it's so frustrating so frustrating. The other thing Ali that people are doing is coming from New Hampshire and I heard this from another person who works in PTA. Coming from New Hampshire and getting their benefits and Massachusetts. And the cancer that they haven't EDT Hartford answer and EDT -- Massachusetts because there's no residency. Verification. Not only God's. 18 so take -- we appreciate -- beware the you'll have your you'll have this report the IG's report will be up on your website Sean O'Connell dot com but tonight right. This -- well you know everybody really -- About that bill. Okay thanks a lot Jonathan for being with us we'll keep talking about this we come -- but how we -- follow through the cracks. I know I know these these these this is the twelve years of the the bush Reagan administration or whenever they used to call it. What is it now that's it -- -- fifth -- -- the Obama administration. And the abuse goes on -- our --
