Welcome to the Real World
Posted on September 27, 2012 | Type: Investigative Report | Author: Christian PalmerFor decades, the ASA's traditional role has been to serve as an advocacy group for Arizona's public university students. But in 2012, the student funded 501(c)(4) applied its money and manpower to assist a constituency that even universities are prohibited from helping: A political committee formed to launch a statewide ballot initiative.
Risky Business: Understanding the Business Side of Government Bonds
Posted on July 17, 2012 | Type: Investigative Report | Author: Mark FlattenThree law firms dominate the legal work that goes into issuing state and local government debt in Arizona, according to a review of bond documents done by the Goldwater Institute. That finding is consistent with what bond lawyers and government officials have said in interviews about the industry.
Debt and Taxes: Arizona Taxpayers on Hook for $66 Billion Tab Run Up by State, Local Governments
Posted on April 05, 2012 | Type: Investigative Report | Author: Mark FlattenState and local governments in Arizona owe more than $66.5 billion in outstanding debt and unfunded obligations, according to official estimates in disclosure reports scattered across various agencies. That figure is based largely on annual reports from government agencies and pension funds that run through June 2011. Numbers that have been updated since have only gotten worse.

Phoenix Labor Union Targets Former Trustee Who Questioned How Taxpayer Money is Spent
Posted on October 27, 2011 | Type: Investigative Report | Author: Mark FlattenNatasha Nimer had a simple question: As a trustee in a local labor union representing City of Phoenix employees, did she have a duty to check the books of a taxpayer-funded insurance account it managed? So she asked the executive board of AFSCME Local 2960. The response was an emphatic "no." She dropped the matter and thought it would end there. She was wrong.

The paper is "Building Library Components That Can Use Any MPI Implementation" and is available as http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gropp/bib/papers/2002/gmpishort.pdf . This paper was relatively pragmatic and discussed an approach that allowed the user to link the same object files against two MPI libraries (MPICH and LAM/MPI were used in the example). There are a few remaining tricky issues for handling the MPI opaque objects (specifically, how big are they) and the size and layout of MPI_Status (different implementations use different sizes, and the user is allowed to use an array of MPI_Status). There are also some very minor tradeoffs in performance in the solution presented in the paper, but these probably aren't important in the context of clusters, and are likely to be smaller than requiring implementations to translate between internal and external representations. The web site mentioned in the paper is out-of-date, mostly because there wasn't much interest in a (nearly) common ABI at the time. I can make it available if there is interest now.

I see alot of bloggers doing give aways and product reviews. Just curious how you got started on this, and how I can get started doing this?
Check out my post with information on how to become a review blogger - you'll be able to get started before the end of the day! It takes a while to build up a good review blog, but with these simple starting steps you'll be on your way. Add a little perseverance and patience, and you'll be a giveaway and review blogger in no time. :-)
Hey I was just going to say all of the same things you did so I think you covered everything!
Also look for companies by visiting review websites. The reviews will each have the link to
the company website right in that review somewhere. that link lets you know this company has
worked with reviewers in the past so may be willing to work with another blogger in the future.
It works the same way for giveaways. I would never pay a monthly fee as someone said they did above
to join for review items. These are all available for free there is no reason to pay for it.

Sustainability: Matching action with lip service |
Written by Kathleen Wood | |||
Thursday, 17 March 2011 10:31 | |||
The word sustainable, in an ecological and developmental context, is one of the most misused in modern dialogue. According to the World Commission on Environment and Development established by the United Nations in 1987, sustainable development is "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Given that definition, contemporary Western civilization has strayed far from the path of sustainability. In fact, a case for the opposite scenario can easily be made. Most human activities are seriously undermining the abilities of future generations to thrive, let alone survive on Planet Earth. The terms "sustainable development" are perpetually evoked in the Turks and Caicos Islands as civil servants, developers and politicians give lip service to the concept. The recent "National Conversation" has highlighted the subject, but to date, not a single development in the entire country qualifies for the label. For every development, we compromise. We clear a piece of land here, burn a few tons of fossil fuel there, with each compromise telling ourselves that it's just this little bit for the sake of economic development. But over time, the little bits add up to big bits, and pretty soon the TCI doesn't have a pristine environment to sell anymore. All the hotels on the beachfront will be worthless without coral reefs for visitors to dive on, fish, lobster and conch in the sea for our fishermen to earn a living from and a once beautiful and wild landscape scarred forever for the sake of development. As a small island nation, the TCI is particularly vulnerable. Significant sea level rises caused by global warming could threaten the vary existence of the nation. Land and other resources are limited and finite. From an economic standpoint, the TCI is almost entirely dependent upon outside injections of wealth in the form of investment and tourism. Almost all food, consumer goods and energy resources are currently imported from abroad. Illegal immigration and crime are out of control, and outside influences are exploiting the natural environment and the TCI economy for personal greed. The status quo is not sustainable by any measure. Sustainability is based on and confined by the laws of nature. In nature, every organism gives according to its ability and receives according to its need. There is no mechanism for greed in natural systems. In fact, in nature when an organism or individual consumes and sequesters a disproportionate amount of resources for themselves, nature's reaction is usually swift and brutal. The human organism thinks it has fooled Mother Nature, but by devising technologies to increase food production and by expanding into virgin territory when the resources in one area are used up, humanity has only bought time. And every advancement we incorporate to stretch the laws of nature further only ensure that when the natural correction occurs, it will be all the more catastrophic. What would a sustainable TCI look like? On Feb. 19, Salt Cay Devco held a public forum to discuss its vision for a sustainable future on Salt Cay. The proposed development plan includes generation of energy from renewable resources, composting and recycling of solid and municipal wastes, native-only landscaping and low-density, low-impact buildings. If the development takes place as proposed, it will not be perfect, but it will be the only development in the TCI to date that even comes close to "sustainable." For much of TCI history, a sustainable economy existed. Individuals fished, traded and farmed to maintain daily subsistence. When people live close to the land, they take what they need to survive and leave the rest for nature. Taking too much one day leaves little for the future. As people moved farther and farther away from the land, they lost this sense of cause and effect. Now a few greedy individuals have taken more than their fair share. As resources are depleted, accumulation and hoarding becomes a vicious cycle of environmental degradation. People get greedy because they are afraid of the very scarcity created by greed. A real sustainable TCI would be one in which every resident is provided by the economy with the basic needs of life including a good job, decent education, clean drinking water, health care, food, and safe and clean shelter. The natural systems that form the backbone of natural production and human industry will be preserved and protected against further degradation. We do not have to make compromises. We can develop economically while simultaneously maintaining the ecological baseline. Sustainable development is not inconsistent with profit or economic growth, but it is incompatible with greed. We cannot have an economy based on greed and a healthy ecosystem. The two are mutually exclusive.

text: 24 February 2006 archive Tweet See all show photos SINCE signing their deal with Diesel founder Renzo Russo, Dsquared2 twins Dean and Dan Caten have made a mint – turnover has grown from £2.4 million to £35 million in the last two years – and they made no bones about it on their autumn/winter 2006-7 catwalk. The backdrop was an old English stately home, complete with Cinderella-style stone staircase, and before it the Caten boys sprinkled every allusion to the life of posh country folk you can think of: red hunting coats, bouffant Princess Anne-style pony tails, riding hats, rosettes, monocles and medals, floor-length wax jackets, cigarette holders, top hats, old school ties, plus fours and buttons of glittering rubies and diamonds – as if there are enough family jewels to scatter liberally over daywear. "Girls, you rule, you ride, you rock! You reek of royalty!" screamed the poster backstage to encourage the fine young fillies onto the red carpet-covered grass catwalk with the appropriate aloof nose-in-the-air. It was meant to amuse – a huge fur sporran on a loud tartan mac was almost slapstick – but all the joking, and all that cash, couldn't hide the wealth of good, old-fashioned fashion stock in there. OK, so we might not stretch to the Sloaney limit of raising crisp white collars under waistcoats and riding jackets, but cropped jackets in fur-collared denim or fitted red nylon, gorgeous gold empire-lined dresses and beautiful evening wear – some slashed to the thigh and one perfect puffball frock coat – were right on the money. Dean and Dan appeared in jeans and ornamental matching jackets, the perfect fashion footmen, at the end of a show that promises to keep the tills ringing.

Summary and Book Reviews
The House at Riverton: Summary and book reviews of The House at Riverton by Kate Morton
While other reviewers have faulted The House at Riverton for being slow moving I think it moves along at just the right pace. In order to get to know Grace in all her complexity the plot couldn't be rushed. Peering, as we do, into her memories gives us a thorough understanding of where she has been, how she has evolved and who she currently is. It also establishes motivation for the actions of the people she summons up from her past. In the end I was glad to have become acquainted with Grace Reeves and a little sad that I would never get the chance to meet her face-to-face. (Reviewed by Donna Chavez). Full Review (891 words).

South Sound-area gun shops are bustling as politicians and organizations discuss the nation's gun laws. However, dealers say the sales spike is a reaction to last month's election, not this month's deadly school shooting in Connecticut.
The number of concealed-weapons permits also has risen locally. The Olympia Police Department has issued 315 this year, up from 219 last year, said spokeswoman Laura Wohl.
Mary Davies, co-owner of Mary's Pistols in Tacoma, said businesses has steadily increased since November. Thursday alone was four times as busy as her previous best day on record, she said.
Davies' AK-47 assault rifles and AR-15 semi-automatic rifles were the first to sell out, followed by semi-automatic pistols and other handguns. None of Davies' seven distributors nationwide will have any of the assault or semi-automatic rifles in stock until next year.
Davies usually sees an uptick in business in the first five months of the year, when customers receive tax refunds. Because this was an election year, business is booming early, she said.
"Every four years and re-election years, that uptick in buying continues through the remainder of the year," she said. "It gets pretty tiring around here."
Olympic Arms off Old Pacific Highway in Thurston County is experiencing a similar boost.
The company, which specializes in gun manufacturing, had 10 times the amount of business this week as it had even a week ago, said sales director Tom Spithaler.
"There is a huge demand right now on anything that would in any way be questioned by pending legislation or the talk that is going on," Spithaler said. "Especially semi-automatics and high-capacity magazines."
The store has sold out of semi-automatics and assault rifles. People who place an order now won't get their hands on the gun for five or six months, he said.
Customers have been lining up outside the shop before it opens at 8 a.m., he said. The scene has been similar at Cascade Arms Co. off Martin Way in Olympia.
Owner Jeff Hursh said the store has been "slammed" with customers and orders.
Several people were lined up outside when the shop opened at 11 a.m. Friday. Walls that usually have an assortment of guns on display only had a few left.
Also Friday, the National Rifle Association suggested that every school should have an armed guard patrolling the halls.
The Olympia School District has two armed, uniformed Olympia police officers who serve as school resource officers, patrolling both the district's high schools.
They also visit nearby middle and elementary schools. The officers have been at the schools since the mid-1990s, said Conor Schober, district interim director of communications.
The district also has unarmed security guards at each high school.
The Tacoma School District also uses school resource officers, as well as unarmed civilian security guards and commissioned patrol officers. The district has a contract with the Tacoma Police Department, which provides five school resource officers — one each for Lincoln, Stadium, Mount Tahoma, Foss and Wilson high schools.
The district brought on school resource officers after a student was shot and killed by another student at Foss High School in 2007.
The district's most recent shooting was in 2010, when a stalker shot a teacher before school began.
"Unfortunately, we have had too much experience dealing with it," said Dan Voelpel, district spokesman.
Unarmed security officers patrol the district's specialty high school and middle schools. There also are eight armed and commissioned patrol officers assigned to patrol all the schools.
"They are trained and commissioned officers, but are our employees," Voelpel said. "They aren't with any police department, but they have the same training."
"It's a very important presence for us," he said. "One of the very difficult things to measure is prevention, but we do know that because the officers are assigned to those specific school … they develop really good relationships with students and hear a lot of things that potentially could be problems, so it allows them to intervene ahead of time."
At Mary's Pistols, Davies questions whether she should even put in an order for semi-automatic or assault rifles next year.
"It's scary for me to order something I wouldn't be able to transfer," Davies said. "Some of the gun talk and law restrictions being thought about is that the transfer of any high-capacity magazine or certain types of magazines would be illegal.
"It's shaky ground as to whether I want to order one of those products in until I know what the proposed legislation is going to read."
Davies said she's "very disappointed" that talk after the Connecticut shootings has focused on gun laws, rather than mental health issues.
"I can't blame the tool; I have to blame the user," she said.

Four Guys - and Certainly Not Eight - Are Not Necessary to Analyze the Heat-Bulls Series
Tuesday, May 14th, 2013It's great to be back but I'm leaving again. I'm honored to be the emcee at the party in Las Vegas tonight to celebrate Jerry Tarkanian's induction into the College Basketball Hall of Fame. When I get back, it's off to the Stanford Pain Management Center for a pump refill and check up. Then, into the car to drive down the 101 to Monterey to pick up Alex who just finished his first year of college at Cal State Monterey Bay and bring him home for the summer. He claims he nailed it academically this semester. If he can match his inaugural season in college hoops, in which he was one of only ten players in the country to make the Division II Freshmen All-America team - and the only one from the west coast - he'll have had a successful beginning to college life.
Not done yet. For those of you who have ever checked out CoachGeorgeRaveling.com, the website for my boss previous to Tark, you might have seen the video section entitled #JackAndCoach. On it, I turn the tables on George who has interviews with individuals such as Oscar Robertson, Nolan Richardson, David Falk (MJ's agent) and my man, Tark, among many others. In our segment, I pose questions to get to know "the inside Rave." Currently, there are between 25-28 "shorts," about 3-5 minutes in length. Some are very funny, others quite moving, all entertaining. We spent about five hours shooting last fall and it's time for round two, so I'll be, ahem, on location in LA, as they say, this weekend. This blog will return Monday.
The Chicago Bulls teased the entire country when they won Game One of their best-of-seven series with the Miami Heat - in Miami. Nate Robinson showed what a little guy can do when given a chance - and is playing for a contract. The fact that Nate hasn't stuck with any of his five teams yet has more to do with his just being an ultra-short little guy. The performance that night - and his continued aggressive play despite all the odds - raised the eyebrows of fans and, probably some general managers. Last night was an abomination of a contest. Tired or other issues? Why haven't the Bulls been able to repeat an effort like they did in the opener?
ESPN has four guys talking about it when the games are on their stations; TNT has four (in my opinion, better) analysts discussing the contests when they're aired on their network. The groups chime in on what has happened and what needs to be done to fix the problem. In each case we hear about how some player needs to contribute more, to become that all-important creation of analysts - the X-factor. Basically, the talking heads aren't necessary for this series. When a superstar is forced into street clothes, it's obvious the team's getting nothing from him that day. In addition, they're probably going to encounter a serious drop off at that spot in the lineup.
The complete analysis for the Bulls and Heat goes as follows:
"The Bulls have lost their starting point guard and both wings. They're playing against the best basketball team in the world. Next?"

The significance of genetic engineering is expressed in the words of Suzanne Wuerthele, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) toxicologist, who stated, "This is probably one of the most technologically powerful developments the world has ever seen. It's the biological equivalent of splitting the atom." Although humans have worked to improve plant breeding for thousands of years, genetic engineering, or genetic modification, is a new, even revolutionary, technology. Unlike conventional plant breeding, which involves the shifting of different forms of the same gene already present in a species' gene pool, genetic engineering usually involves the transfer of foreign genes, genes not previously present in a species' gene pool, into the organism. In genetic engineering, scientists transfer genetic information, or DNA, from one or more organisms across species boundaries into a host organism to create an entirely new genetically engineered organism. For example, the transfer of a gene from a bacterium into a corn plant can give the corn plant pesticide properties. In addition, other genes—genes responsible for promoting the correct functioning of the foreign gene and acting as markers or tags to identify the genetically engineered organism—are present alongside the gene for the desired characteristic. Genes for antibiotic resistance, for example, are commonly used as markers. Genetically engineered crops, therefore, are different from traditional plant varieties. While they do offer many benefits, they may also be more likely to have unpredictable physiological and biochemical effects.
Genetic engineering (GE) is the standard U.S. term for this new technology, also called recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology. In Europe, genetically modified (GM) is more commonly used to describe the technology, because this term translates more easily between different languages. The organism that is created through genetic engineering is called a genetically modified organism (GMO). The terms used to describe the foods produced from genetic engineering include biotech foods, gene foods, bioengineered foods, gene-altered foods, and transgenic foods.
In the 1970s scientists exchanged DNA between different strains of bacteria, producing the first genetically engineered organisms. Since that time, scientists have moved into the more complex field of genetically engineered plants and animals. Genes have been transferred between animal species, between plant species, and from animal species to plant species. Some genes can make an animal or plant grow faster or larger, or both. Canadian scientists found that flounder produce a type of antifreeze, and they transplanted a gene for this trait into salmon so that salmon can be farmed in colder climates. Many species of fish are genetically engineered to speed growth, to alter flesh quality, and to increase cold and disease resistance. In farm animals such as cattle, genes can be inserted to reduce the amount of fat in meat, to increase milk production, and to increase superior cheese-making proteins in milk. In the area of plant crops, agricultural biotechnology can accelerate the process of transforming crops. Cotton, for example, was redesigned with a bacterial gene that allows the plant to produce its own pesticide, thus reducing the cost of spraying crops. Biotechnology has modified other plants to resist common diseases or to tolerate weed-killing herbicide sprays.
The development and advantages of GE foods
Foods produced using genetic modification arrived in U.S. markets in the mid-1990s, but a survey conducted in January 2001 by the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology found that just 20 percent of U.S. consumers realized they had already eaten GE foods. According to the Grocery Manufacturers of America, an estimated 70 percent of the foods on grocery store shelves in the year 2000 were made or manufactured using GE crops. A large percentage of the corn and soybeans grown in the United States were from GE crops, which were processed into common food ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup. This syrup is used in many products, including soft drinks and the vegetable oil that is used to fry food such as french fries. In the spring of 2001, GE crops were grown on 82 million acres of U.S. farmland (up 18 percent from 2000), and 68 percent of all soybeans, 69 percent of all cotton, and 26 percent of all corn were genetically modified.
Multinational corporations such as Monsanto, Novartis AG, Aventis SA, and DuPont have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on biotechnology research in the past two decades, mostly to modify staples like corn, soybeans, and cotton, and make them easier and cheaper to plant and grow—and therefore more profitable for agribusiness companies. As Americans became aware of GE foods, antibiotech sentiment emerged in the United States. As a result, in the spring of 2000, the top U.S. biotech companies, normally staunch competitors, formed the Council for Biotechnology Information to launch a $50-million-a-year public relations campaign. Proponents of genetic engineering claim that GE foods provide advantages to human health. In addition to enhanced nutritional value and increased yields from GE seeds, genetic modification can produce cooking oils with less saturated fat, soybean oil with high levels of vitamin E, and strawberries and tomatoes with a cancer-fighting chemical. Medical benefits from genetic engineering include edible vaccines such as bananas spliced with genes from a hepatitis B virus and "golden rice," which contains a daffodil gene that provides vitamin K, essential in promoting healthier eyes in children. (Thousands of children suffer blindness every year because of a lack of vitamin K.) In Japan, genetic engineering has experimentally removed a protein from rice that provokes allergic reactions, and similar work is being done on peanuts, to which some people may have violent allergic reactions.
The safety of GE foods to human health
"The use of rDNA biotechnology in itself has no impact on the safety of foods derived using these techniques," states an April 2001 report by the Institute of Food Technologists, a scientific society concerned with food science and technology. The report further states, "The appropriate federal agencies have reviewed all the rDNA biotechnologically-derived foods on the market to ensure their safety." Nevertheless, many American consumers became aware of the market presence of GE foods in September 2000, when StarLink corn, a bioengineered corn that was not cleared for human consumption, was discovered in taco shells and other corn products. As a result, concerns arose in the United States about the safety of GE foods, and those concerns have persisted.
Some scientists believe that genetic engineering dangerously tampers with the most fundamental natural components of life and that genetic engineering is scientifically unsound. In addition, they believe that when scientists transfer genes into a new organism, the results could be unexpected and dangerous. No long-term studies have been done to determine what effects many of the commonly consumed GE foods might have on human health. Critics accuse GE supporters of assuming that, because the modified foods have been on the market for as long as they have with no apparent ill effects, they must be safe. However, some research and case studies suggest that GE foods may cause adverse health effects, including increased exposure to allergens, elevated cancer risks, and increased resistance to antibiotics as a result of the common practice of using antibioticresistant genes as marker genes in these foods. In 1999, a number of independent scientists, along with the British Medical Association, called for a moratorium on GE foods until further research is completed. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists have warned that genetic engineering could result in undesirable changes in the level of nutrients because fresh-looking foods may actually be weeks old and therefore be nutritionally deficient. FDA scientist Edwin Mathews warned that the levels of toxins in GE foods could be higher than in normal foods and that GE foods might produce new toxic substances.
Controversy over regulations
The United States has no mandatory labeling of GE foods to inform consumers whether or not the foods they are buying have been genetically engineered. In addition, the United States has no regulations requiring human testing of GE crops. The only requirement is that producers report to the FDA the food's nutritional properties and the source of the genes used to genetically alter the food. Biotech companies contend that the FDA should ensure food safety, but the FDA claims that ultimately it is the responsibility of biotech companies to ensure that their foods are safe.
In 1990, the Bush administration issued a set of regulatory principles aimed at smoothing the way for the speedy development of biotechnology products in the United States (and to help large biotech corporations in the world market). The first principle stated, "Federal government regulatory oversight should focus on the characteristics and risks of the biotechnology product—not the process by which it was created." This meant that FDA, EPA, and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists were not to single out GE foods for review simply because these foods had been developed using a new technology. The reason for this decision was the apparent absence of any information showing differences between the effects of genetic engineering and those of traditional animal and plant breeding. However, internal documents made public in 1999 revealed that many FDA scientists disagreed with this decision, including Louis Pribyl, who said, "There is a profound difference between the types of unexpected effects from traditional breeding and genetic engineering." One major difference is that genetic engineering crosses the natural biological boundaries between animal and plant species, whereas conventional animal and plant breeding does not.
Although some researchers believe that genetically engineered foods will bring about beneficial changes for humankind, others question whether scientists, regulators, and consumers have enough information about GE foods to ensure their safety. At Issue: Genetically Engineered Foods provides different perspectives on this highly controversial technology.

It is in cultures joining me now to sort out this whole question is Fox News senior judicial appellate judge -- -- Apollo Apollo.
And host of -- and company on Fox Business Network Stuart -- the gentlemen I I've always.
-- myself as an ethical man.
But I'm I've always had trouble from the time at the time to foreign corrupt practices act was passed that was working for one of the big.
International CPA currently told to look for these these these payments.
Under the table -- and at the same time my thought.
But wait a minute fees are paid.
To the port authority of New York to dock.
What's the difference between net and pain mr.
Fuji moto -- the talk of Tokyo to to have unload your goods there it seemed like.
The same kind of practices but.
The losses it's not judge well the government.
-- wants to give the impression that it is law abiding.
And others are not when the same behavior is engaged in so for example on the Wal-Mart case and Mexico with which I think you're gonna speak with -- Stewart in a moment.
The government may very well argue that if Wal-Mart paid local authorities bribes to do what they ought to have done anyway basically approve.
The standardize construction of a box -- using cinder block and materials that would be approved anywhere in the country.
The government should somehow prosecute that when the government itself.
Gives bribes to foreign countries every day every day of the week they just call -- car -- eight.
It's basically cash given to the leader of a country so last to make things easier for the American got.
-- Ali number all right so there's -- foreign.
The foreign aid as you call it weak weak right but there's also if I have a problem and I need to get a permit in my local community.
Or even if I haven't national company and eat something done across the country I call my lobbyist I say we -- -- make campaign contributions to -- it to my local official.
What's the difference there is no difference obviously won't talk about here is a contradiction between the way we actually act.
Act within the United States the way the government acts within the United States and how we're supposed to act as a private enterprise company when when looking overseas there is a contradiction.
Between the two it absolutely doesn't make moral sense however.
This lol is in place it's a very cut it very complex -- I think a judge will bring back real well not what is a death fall given its complexity.
I think it is politically applied and I think is being applied politically in this case because.
-- that the left.
Hates -- -- so go after Wal-Mart get them on a technicality about the foreign corrupt practices act and I love I think that's what's going.
Well it there isn't the -- I think it's a small group that is anti Wal-Mart of course this does give them fodder.
But the same -- must go back to the law because again I've I'm I'm convinced that laws should only be enforced -- enforceable if they are rational in the public except some.
What was the purpose behind.
This act which it too.
To give cover to -- the American businessman so that when you do business overseas you can say to them.
-- I'd love to pay your your your your bribe but I can't -- get in trouble of home well.
I think that the purpose of the act probably was was somewhat pure and that was sent to assure that.
Foreign laws were applied fairly to Americans rather than.
Only to those who could pay for the -- for the enforcement of them the problem as as Stewart points out is the more complex the law the board discretion the government has.
To enforce.
Question -- -- -- -- wanna force against Wal-Mart would they enforce it against fill in the blank someone dropped.
It's still existed some company favorable to the administration.
I think this will commence the 1970s.
But I think it involved some kind of scandal of bribery scandal by an American company operating in Latin America it was very bad publicity for American business and said this at -- would it be -- tone moral -- -- don't do that again looking at Villanova around action.
What -- don't have a typical overreaction the typical reordering of American.
Values and priorities -- response to a couple of incidents that out.
Great stuff on the ballot that was now all forgotten that you wind up with bad law and the problem is could you imagine any member of congress saying let's undo the foreign corrupt practices -- who's a good.
Who's for corruption nobody is not but I had a call on the radio show from a guiding Terry from Puerto BR to.
-- he called -- was listening we were talking about this and he said.
This is.
But the way everything is done -- yield you know how you can under the statute with a simple one word out one line -- added to it.
The statute shall apply to the government.
Because the government that in order to avoid this the sting of its own statute that would stop enforcing it against private individuals I get --

Three Junes: A novel (Google eBook)An astonishing first novel that traces the lives of a Scottish family over a decade as they confront the joys and longings, fulfillments and betrayals of love in all its guises. In June of 1989 Paul McLeod, a newspaper publisher and recent widower, travels to Greece, where he falls for a young American artist and reflects on the complicated truth about his marriage. . ..Six years later, again in June, Paul�s death draws his three grown sons and their families back to their ancestral home. Fenno, the eldest, a wry, introspective gay man, narrates the events of this unforeseen reunion. Far from his straitlaced expatriate life as a bookseller in Greenwich Village, Fenno is stunned by a series of revelations that threaten his carefully crafted defenses. . .. Four years farther on, in yet another June, a chance meeting on the Long Island shore brings Fenno together with Fern Olitsky, the artist who once captivated his father. Now pregnant, Fern must weigh her guilt about the past against her wishes for the future and decide what family means to her. In prose rich with compassion and wit, Three Junes paints a haunting portrait of love�s redemptive powers. From the Trade Paperback edition. |

We can't even pretend to endorse that. Harvard foos tables are for those who don't have a clue. A degree from Harvard. Fine. A foosball table with the same name... don't do it. If you want something to learn, buy something that will allow you to grow into the sport. Jump on Craigslist and find a quality used Tornado. (We would recommend a used Fireball but chances are tiny that you'll find someone willing to part with their Fireball) If you're not sure, drop us a note. We would be glad to help you avoid ending up with something that will end up on Craigslist for 25% of what you paid for it. If you're connected to a brew pub, read our foosball whitepaper that proves there is a connection between beer sales and foosball.

But while Evans could savour a strong effort on his ADAC Rallye Deutschland debut, his fellow Brits Alastair Fisher and John MacCrone were both left to reflect on what might have been after they hit trouble.
MacCrone was leading after winning the opening two stages when he slid on a patch of oil and bent the rear axle on his Ford Fiesta R2, used as standard in the series, on stage four. His misfortune handed top spot to Fisher, who was 18s in front when a rear-right puncture on stage five dropped him to fifth place, 1m31.1s adrift of Evans heading to the overnight halt in Trier.
"It's been a very difficult day and it's more a smile of relief than a sense of achievement," said Evans, who survived a spin on stage two.
Suarez, on course for his best finish in the WRC Academy, reported brake issues with Reeves losing ground with a spin on the opening test.
Timo van der Marel is fourth after a trouble-free day although the same cannot be said for Fredrik Ahlin who stopped on stage two when his bonnet flew open and cracked his car's windscreen. Despite taping it back into place, it flew up again before the stage finish and caused the Swede, who is nursing an injured right hand, the legacy of his crash on the previous round in Finland, further delay.
Pontus Tidemand and guest entrant Martin Koci from Slovenia both retired in the opening stages, while Jose Suarez and Ashley Haigh-Smith withdrew before tackling a stage in anger.
