The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), also known as the Giza Museum, is a planned museum of artifacts of ancient Egypt. Described as the largest archaeological museum in the world,[4] the museum is scheduled to open in 2015. The museum will be sited on 50 hectares (120 acres) of land approximately two kilometers from the Giza pyramids and is part of a new master plan for the plateau.
The design of the building was decided by means of an architectural competition. The competition was announced on 7 January, 2002. The organisers received 1557 entries from 82 countries, making it the largest architectural competition in history. In the second stage of the competition, 20 entries were asked to submit additional information. Judging was complete by 2 June, 2003. The competition was won by the company Heneghan Peng from Dublin, Ireland, winning 250,000 dollars. Second place was awarded to Coop Himmelblau. The building is designed by Heneghan Peng Architects, Buro Happold and Arup. The exhibition masterplan, exhibition design and museology is by Metaphor and Cultural Innovations Ltd.
The building is shaped like a chamfered triangle in plan. It sits on a site two kilometers west of the pyramids, near a motorway interchange. The building's north and south walls line up directly with the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Menkaure. In front of the building is a large plaza, filled with date plants. One of the main features of the Museum is the translucent stone wall, made of alabaster, that makes up the front facade of the building. Inside the main entrance is a large atrium, where large statues will be exhibited.
On 2 February, 2010 Hill International announced that Egypt's Ministry of Culture had signed a contract with a joint venture of Hill and EHAF Consulting Engineers to provide project management services during the design and construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum.[5]
The total estimated project cost is US$ 550m, US$ 300m of which will be financed from Japanese loans, the remaining will be financed by the Supreme Council of Antiquities, other donations and international funds.
The new museum is designed to include the latest technology, including virtual reality. The Museum will also be an international center of communication between museums, to promote direct contact with other local and international museums. The Grand Egyptian Museum will include a children's museum, conference center, training center, and workshops similar to the old Pharaonic places.
On 5 January, 2002 then-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak laid the foundation stone of the Grand Egyptian Museum. On 25 August, 2006 the Statue of Ramesses II was moved from Ramses Square in Cairo to the Giza Plateau, in anticipation of construction of the museum. The Statue of Ramesses II, estimated to be approximately 3,200 years old, will be cleaned and touched up, and will be situated at the entrance of the museum by 2010.
In 2007 GEM secured a $300 million loan from the Japan Bank for International Co-operation. The Egyptian Government will fund $147 million while the remaining $150 million will be funded through donations and international organisations.[6]
In late August 2008 the design team submitted over 5,000 drawings to the Egyptian Ministry of Culture. Following this, the construction tender was announced in October 2008. Earthmoving has begun to excavate the site for the building.
Tendering was due in September 2009, with an estimated completion date of 2013.[7]
On 11 January, 2012 A joint venture between Egypt's Orascom Construction Industries (OCI) and the Belgian BESIX Group was awarded the contract for phase three of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a deal valued at $810 million. the project is estimated to finish in 2015.[8]

DHAKA: Want to stave off diabetes? Eat slowly, says a new study.Researchers at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences have found that people who wolf down their food are two-and-a half times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who savour their meal. This is in line with previous research that found links between eating quickly and obesity. But It is the first time that the speed at which people eat has been identified as an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes. For their study, the researchers compared 234 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients to 468 people free from the disease. The participants were quizzed on diabetes risk factors and asked to rate their eating speed. Body weights and measurements were also taken, as per the studies. After adjusting for other factors including a family history of diabetes, exercise habits and smoking, the researchers found those with faster eating habits had a more than two times greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Lead researcher Dr Lina Radzeviciene said: "The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes is increasing globally and becoming a world pandemic. It`s important to identify modifiable risk factors that may help people reduce their chances of developing the disease." Type 2 diabetes, which normally develops during middle age and is associated with obesity or an unhealthy lifestyle, is a largely preventable disease that is controlled through a healthy diet and exercise, even if an individual finds it a struggle to lose weight. Dr Radzeviciene`s team now hopes to perform a larger study looking at how types of food, calorie intake, exercise, and psychological and emotional well-being affect diabetesrisk factors.BDST: 0800 HRS, MAY 28, 2012Edited by: Quamrun Nahar Shumi, Newsroom Editor/Tania Afrin, Newsroom Editor

Chris Wallace pressed former white house press secretary Robert Gibbs about it listen.
I -- ambassador rice -- the American people that information.
Well I think he's you heard ambassador rice say the best information that we had at the point in which he gave that answer.
Is the answer that she gave use all the White House say that this was terror attack and and nobody wants to get.
To the bottom of this more than the president and the secretary of state.
So that we can.
Protect our missions -- our consulates throughout the world and remaining -- absolutely no one intentionally or unintentionally misled.
Anybody involved in this absolutely not.
We standard among many who disagree listen -- he wrote.
He writes quote for more than a week the Obama administration misled the country about what happened this isn't just a problem.
It is a scandal.
-- how do you read.
-- As a former -- spokesperson I think I would have refused to got on the -- -- on this past weekend because there's.
As a former person you don't know what you don't now.
There was misleading whether it was intentional or not.
Something happened where the administration for ten days said one thing and it turns out to be the other and they tried to blow that off.
The other thing as.
I wonder where the Director of National Intelligence that is where is the National Security Council -- -- -- -- handle what can there be.
Quoted in the New York Times when they're taking victory laps but the name won't come on to talk about what they know what and what they did not know which is more important question.
And what they're doing -- trying to find out.
Find out about as I would have refused to got to go on.
-- you know on top of that -- senator -- -- hard is that -- probably the most hard how hard right to left guy in this and it says asked to do -- -- he says it looks like it was democratic congressman Adam Smith of the House Intelligence Committee says this was not just a mob that got -- -- and right so the Democrats don't even by the storyline and it's the biggest story today -- -- was on 9/11 I -- his storyline -- it's it's it's all politics are coming up for three things number one President Obama went to -- picked up the check that we talked about earlier.
In just hours after ambassador September 12 -- to hours after number 100.
It's clear that it's -- it.
You know it's been reported even in our president of Libya said it's a pre planned attack and it's not because of 9/11 9/11 symbolic.
The pre planned attack it was a retaliation from.
All these victory laps of the Obama administration has done over bin laps we killed a lot of we killed in -- of this -- -- is alive -- -- just the problem is we don't -- -- -- on it and number three.
A complete.
-- and failure of information leading up to that.
To to the -- -- They should this be headlines screaming stand I Davis Stephen Hayes is is outrageous and everybody knew it and we had to sit there and act like -- when Steve -- sitting in the -- -- -- -- that's ridiculous never whoever's he's been writing about it.
It's very obvious and -- and -- common sense.
Or intelligence about.
How these things go down in the Middle East that this was something that was planned and coordinated nineteenth sitting around -- -- like.
-- -- right out of the underwear bomber we remember he was about to -- in Michigan and it was it was an isolated extremist it turns out -- trained by al-Qaeda there was a plan in place the Fort Hood shooter at the workplace violence.
We find out that he was right -- Lackey has a radio correspondents.
Bob President Bush to -- -- -- straight years let us know this is more than a generation of a war.
On terror is not going to be over an eight years -- twelve years why is the administration afraid of this war.
Brothers and launch it that much of the vacuum but today this happened I said that this was a terrorist I watched you did say that and it was very clear to me it was a terrorist attack based on just the the obvious I think in my own experience -- -- -- but.
Leaving that aside it's I don't think this is a scandal I think it's endless the way it played out politically I -- I would never have let -- -- -- say these things until I Norris.
Not if it's so obvious and you know it then why did the administration.
Clue as dot com have no I try and light everybody -- -- that there's a difference I don't think that they -- I think they did you know it was so obvious no no I wish I thought it was -- so yes you all they added that they also -- an -- are delighted to have the authentic.
Cause what they did was she stepped out without having the intelligence she -- that she should have done it and at the minimum but that should have said was it good -- -- it could not that we don't know the -- really trying to say -- you trying to say the ambassador rice.
Wrote her own script -- I don't know -- at all but just.
Clearly told by I liked the ideas of -- of this is what I -- say I did that from a political standpoint that is we have promised Bob prior to her saying that we have the interim president.
I can murmurs named it that the Libyan interim president saying it was -- plant right can't let her any interviews such -- that.
They can months and while it's obvious that you're constantly self evident that was pretty good but -- would room we all figured out this himself planned there's no what you could take into court -- -- Just did the party line would not your walk steal it back on somebody sent a -- -- -- Bob I figure is confuses Wheeler so do you bring us inside the of an administration wide is it to their benefit to be so confused.
Well it certainly helped them with the press.
Because -- -- -- -- on the front page of every I don't see it it's not constant -- talk about everything else and President Obama gets to be on the view that -- is still alive today C number -- is reporting it well and at the at CBS hasn't been reported so as Reuters.
On this and I don't think they should let up I don't think they well the fact should just take us where they take us and the politics set it aside.
If they really believe that that that people are gonna vote on this and they're gonna vote on the economy which president would be better at Romney or -- -- Obama.
Fine then let's just be honest about what happened but I think I covered that the night climate change and green -- -- I I area he has heart and -- Probably they want to win again they want to keep the White House and it really there -- I'd like -- yell on the part of the State Department is the first tentatively filled in the on camera you actually yelling yeah I think that I.

DWP names 15 councils in long-list for Universal Credit pilots
Published by 24publishing for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government, Communities, Local Government
DWP names 15 councils in long-list for Universal Credit pilots
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Local Government Association (LGA) have today named 15 local authorities in England recommended as potential pilot sites for Universal Credit.
The pilots will focus on delivering the face-to-face support some people may need to make claims for Universal Credit, including online support, help with budgeting and job searches, reducing fraud and error, and reducing homelessness.
Universal Credit - which comes in from October 2013 - will replace income-based jobseekers allowance, income support, income-based employment support allowance, housing benefit, working tax credit and child tax credit. It will be paid monthly to claimants.
As part of the reform, claimants will be expected to apply online to a central system from next year, not through their council.
The DWP expects 80% of claims to be made online from 2017 leading to fears that the experience of council staff supporting claimants face-to-face would be lost.
However, the department says it is committed to providing face-to-face support for those who need it and in April called on local authorities to deliver pilots to support residents in preparation for Universal Credit.
From the recommended local authorities it has announced today, the DWP will make a final selection of those that will go ahead in the autumn. It had received proposals from 38 councils.
The English councils recommended for the pilots are:
- Barnet
- Bath and North East Somerset
- Birmingham
- Hammersmith and Fulham (in consortium with Kensington and Chelsea, Wandsworth and Westminster)
- Leeds
- Lewisham
- Melton
- Newcastle under Lyme
- North Dorset
- Oldham
- Oxford
- Rushcliffe
- A consortium of North Yorkshire authorities led by Scarborough
- West Lindsey; and
- Wigan
The Minister for Welfare Reform Lord Freud said: "Local authority led pilots will provide a unique opportunity for councils to shape the development of Universal Credit.
"All the recommended local authorities offer very exciting ideas on how they might help people with their claims for Universal Credit and progress into work. We are now working through the long-list with a view to announcing the final dozen or so successful authorities across Great Britain in the summer."
Sir Merrick Cockell, Chairman of the LGA, said: "It is vital that local people are fully supported when these benefit and tax credit changes come into place.
"Councils have a central role to play in providing face-to-face assistance and advice in the new welfare system, as they have a strong understanding of local job markets and the needs of their residents.
"These councils have put forward some positive proposals for taking the pilots forward, and they will play an important role in working towards a smoother rollout later next year."
The announcement follows close discussion with Lord Freud and the LGA.
A separate selection process is under way for local authorities in Wales and Scotland.

"176: 'Tis Sweet to Sing the Matchless Love," Hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, no. 176
1. 'Tis sweet to sing the matchless love
Of Him who left his home above
And came to earth—oh, wondrous plan—
To suffer, bleed, and die for man!
2. 'Tis good to meet each Sabbath day
And, in his own appointed way,
Partake the emblems of his death,
And thus renew our love and faith.
3. Oh, blessed hour! communion sweet!
When children, friends, and teachers meet
And, in remembrance of his grace,
Unite in sweetest songs of praise.
4. For Jesus died on Calvary!
That all thru him might ransomed be.
Then sing hosannas to his name;
Let heav'n and earth his love proclaim.

Your reasoning for excluding the Screenplay capabilities for the Windows version is understandable from a business pov, but i have to admit, that was the one feature that set you apart for all other mindmapping AND screenplay software. Without that, NM just ends being a lesser MindJet. May as well return to it now.

Christchurch Earthquake
I am a Christina fan from Christchurch New Zealand where a 6.3 magnitude Earthquake has pretty much destroyed the city.
I don't know if all know the facts but we are struggling. There are people trapped in collapsed buildings, the death toll is at 98 and rising, over 300 people missing and the second highest building is threatening to collapse at any time.
I would like to ask for your generosity which would be appreciated beyond words from Christchurch citizens.
A small donation from you will go a long way for us.
This Earthquake was an aftershock of the 7.1 magnitude we had on September 4th 2010. I have lived in Christchurch my whole life and it is devastating to see the city in ruins.
Here are some pictures from the american website The Atlantic http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/02/earthquake-in-new-zealand/100...
If you would like to make a donation please go to
Any amount is greatly appreciated.
Thank you xox

Nissan Frontier Pro-4X
This past week was rainy, nasty and absolutely miserable. Fortunately for me,
that's just how the Nissan Frontier pickup likes it.
And even a coating of road film from this rainy week, can't hide the brutal
beauty of what is rapidly becoming my favorite mid-sized pickup. And frankly,
mid-sized is a relative firm. Look at any full-sized American truck from the
mid-60's or 70's. They were about this big. It is astonishing how large half-ton
pickups have become.
And that's why, in my opinion, for most people that buy pickups, this is
probably big enough. The test truck we had was the 4-wheel-drive Pro4X version,
which is the whoopty-doo, off-road, big dog of the line. Of course, in our part
of East Texas, most of that will be plowing through muddy fields checking fence
lines, or such.
For that, the Frontier is a terrific mount with an easy, electrically operated
4X4 system and enough grunt to get you anywhere. Special 16-inch wheels,
Bilstein shocks, skid plates and a rear locker insure you won't get stuck.
That grunt is provided by a 4.0-liter V6 with 261-horsepower. Engines are an art
from at Nissan, and this one is the textbook definition of sweet. Inside, the
King cab version has a roomy back seat, and modern new dashboard layout. Red
trim adorns the seats and steering wheel.
Out back, the shortish bed has cargo tie downs galore, including two embedded in
the floor hidden by a pair of plastic covers. Our Frontier was fully loaded and
came to just over $35,000.
So, if you're looking for a truck that likes to play dirty, the Nissan Frontier
is one terrific choice.

Ray Bradbury passed away earlier this year, but the legacy of this master of the craft of story continues. What lessons can you glean from this talk?
Colin Marshall of OpenCulture.com has culled a list of twelve key points from the talk that could be of use to young writers. Among them:
- Just type any old thing that comes into your head. He recommends "word association" to break down any creative blockages, since "you don't know what's in you until you test it."
- Fall in love with movies. Preferably old ones.
- Write with joy. In his mind, "writing is not a serious business." If a story starts to feel like work, scrap it and start one that doesn't. "I want you to envy me my joy," he tells his audience.
- Remember, with writing, what you're looking for is just one person to come up and tell you, "I love you for what you do." Or, failing that, you're looking for someone to come up and tell you, "You're not nuts like people say."
Watch the video, and read the rest of Colin's list at OpenCulture.com. Do you agree with his list? Did he miss something? Leave a comment and let us know.

Saluting Michigan's fallen police officers
The haunting sounds of bagpipes echoed in the halls of the state capital this evening.
Police officers from across the state gathered inside the capital rotunda for the 19th annual Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Service.
The ceremoney honored a half dozen police officers from Michigan or with ties to Michigan who died in the line of duty last year. Nationwide, 163 law enforcement officers were killed on the job last year. Already this year, 2 Michigan law enforcement officers have died on the job.
"The loss of these officers is a testament to the dangers and realities of police work," says Colonel Kristie Kibbey Etue, the director of the Michigan State Police.
National Police Week begins May 13th.

Since I don't make New Year's Resolutions, I go with the flow. Throughout the year, I look for things and events to keep me inspired. I also hate searching for new blogs, so I depend my small group of bloggers to lead me to others.
Here are are few great ones:
Drawings: Illustration Fridays
(I might try to collage category. As soon as I find my supplies!)
Writing: Sunday Scribblings
(I am not disciplined enough to do this by myself. I need to join a group that I am NOT administrating. Now I have to find my blank journals...)
Altered Arts - My favorite art form!
Ma Vie en Rose - very pretty and check out the links!
I am also thinking of going to Art Fest 2008 conference near Port Townsend, WA!
This is a book made by Sas Colby!
Wonderful drawings by Emma of Emuse!
I need to find my Murakami books!
Knitting: I will be participating in making little cotton hats for premature babies. I am excited about this project, because I will be knitting in the round. I tried doing it last week, but it was a bust. I just had too much on my mind!
AS also found a group that is knitting woolen hats and washcloths a certain group of needy ladies in Edmonton. So, I will be making stuff for them also, to get my yarn stash down.

Nazr Mohammed is the man

Magic question for the Pacers is will they be able to afford keeping Hibbert, George, Granger together?
Posted May 05, 2013 - 03:21 PM
If the Knicks want to win they are gonna need to build a lead before the Pacers get into a groove. If they build a groove and it's a 5 point game, that's trouble for the Knicks.
Was sad seeing Chandler cry after fouling out. Definitely wasn't his fault that the Knicks lost today.
I've always liked Steve Blake.
Posted May 06, 2013 - 07:01 AM
Hibbert at times is inconsistetnt during the regular season. I don't trust referees in these kind of matchups, one game they let them play, another they get whistle happy. I doubt the next games are gonna be called with the same defensive leninency, and favor driving to the rim. That would swing it to NY immensely. I'm fairly certain Hibbert is already under contract, and so is George to a fairly reasonable contract unless they already want to extend him. I think the matter of re-signing West is difficult, plus let's see how to deal with Granger.
I found the Hawks-Pacers series unbearable, but the Pacers can be entertaining with their style of bigs and grit. If anything why haven't the Hawks started rebuilding.

Indiana is a scary team

Carmelo playing through a lot of pain, but its good to see him passing more this game and trying to go to the basket more often.
He should work with Hakeem this summer
I've always liked Steve Blake.
Posted May 07, 2013 - 04:53 PM
11 point 3rd quarter for Carmelo taking it to the basket and playing controlled.
He needs to do THAT more often. What he did in the 3rd quarter.
The first two despite his extra passing still weren't good shots he was taking.
The 3rd quarter is more what Carmelo needs to evolve his game to.
A summer with Hakeem would do wonders for him.

ALBANY, GA -- Calhoun County High School hosted a health fair this weekend put on by Columbus State College.
In the last year, Calhoun County was ranked as the most unhealthy county in Georgia by the Population Health Institute at the University of Wisconsin. But officials with the health fair say the citizens aren't to blame.
"Access to care is also a big thing, they're a rural community, they're genetically predisposed, African Americans have about 3.7% higher instances of asthma and allergies, then Caucasians, that's just the way it is. Poverty level has a lot to do with it too," said Health Fair organizer, Jon Ramsey.
And this yearly health fair is taking the steps necessary to make sure kids are educated on healthy habits.
"You have to know what you're dealing with in order to be safe with your health," said Edison resident, Jamal Price.
"To me it means they really care about us, and how we feel about our body's health and stuff," said Edison Resident, Jav'on Reynolds
Since the health fair's start last year, Calhoun County has moved up two spots on the list, showing that these healthy habits are starting to take root.

Season 1 Episode 01 – 'Call the Cops' we are talking about "Talking Heads – Remain in Light"
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
When I first approached John Ashley about doing a podcast for the site, the first question I asked him was "what album would you like to cover?" His answer, 1980's 'Remain in Light' by Talking Heads. I couldn't have been happier; my favorite album by one of my favorite bands. As a child I remember being at a friend's place and seeing the record cover for the first time; I was entranced by the cool bizarre computer generated artwork. I remember at the time really liking the music too but wasn't able to fully get into the album until I owned the record myself a few years later. It's as listenable today as it must have been in 1980. Although "Remain in Light's" sounds and structures have had years of being 'borrowed heavily from' (as most cutting edge records have), what becomes clear is that this album hasn't lost

But until there are those earlier this moratorium so on are you ruined everybody -- -- right wing friends still whining about.
Why Romney lost because of the present a free stuff to -- -- True but we are now -- we -- trying to figure out what happened to prevented from ever happening -- debt and you know.
But so when it comes to the free stuff it is absolutely true anymore Romney said first -- he said 47% and then when he was talking after the election about gifts.
That is actually true and -- -- to -- in reality it's a fits your gonna go forward it is not offensive to you don't have got.
Offensive T -- on the government dole in any way shape.
Reform because I think -- disparage those people.
All the majority maybe some people look at countries don't throw reserves.
But the majority of these people I don't think -- when I hear what you're gonna say that.
And -- belt and I hardly a look.
Let's let's decide on -- Yes I know where I had -- -- -- a -- what your leanings are -- worst terrorist I think you're such respect authority around the light of the liberal tendency.
The that was right to have run out what he's pointing out is not let's set aside these -- exceptions to the world -- -- social welfare programs were set up over many decades term.
With the noble intent to help those truly in need -- they were originally designed to be a temporary helping hand when people were going through tough times.
What is happened over time is that these things have now become a way of life and what he was getting at is you now have a Democratic Party.
-- believes they can buy votes and very successfully buying votes by expanding these social welfare program -- when he talks about gifts it's either socialized medicine.
It's food stamps it's something coming from the government Obama phones for goodness sakes I don't know about you but I -- from my own self out.
Give it the government giving away the store in order to buy votes.
It's not just a temporary lift up -- it becomes a way of life and then it becomes a way.
Of buying votes to get.
You know what's really scaring.
-- and you're Albert Great education.
And you're actually your broad and I think here but you're gonna tell me I'm wrong.
But -- things -- where you think which is idiotic.
-- -- I don't understand where that comes from.
Thanks all of them are just I don't get -- so.
How does anybody here that I just laid out incorrect to look a little -- and that was that was wrong for the most part I don't think mr.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Who worries minor -- front -- And -- -- doctor lightly DO not lately I love him but it is spent has got there why he's gotten better because he's fat again.
-- -- I'm gonna help the area.
I'm listening or ten years so Obama when you Margaret Childs.
Sort of want to -- he was up when he must -- out.
He was angry when they're burning.
Oh boy whose idea hungry hungry hungry again if you -- and in all right right now is Greg Davis -- he's he's several I believe.
And that is the majority majority of people on welfare.
Or on percent or don't have a -- don't wanna be an opposition so -- not paid and vote for Obama.
Because they're gonna get a bunch of free stuff there actually want -- -- they wanna they wanna they wanna doubled -- wanna live a better life yes there are people who don't but that's always -- -- That is true to some extent but you're missing the larger point.
The modern Democratic Party which by the way when you look at Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid this is and this is an important distinction to make.
This is not your fathers or grandfathers Democratic Party okay this is not Harry Truman.
Who dropped the bomb on Japan stop World War II this is not JFK who lowered marginal tax rates to get job creation -- economic growth.
This is a completely different ball of wax we're dealing with our left radicals who want to quote fundamentally transform -- nation.
-- Obama's words not mine.
So the modern Democratic Party what we're dealing with now.
The marriage activist three -- on one to grow government as fast -- widely as possible.
The objective of that is to make is many people dependent on government as possible which is why they're keeping the crappy economy going as long as possible.
Those two things and -- an -- feedback loop because if you're growing government.
More people are dependent on government -- you have an ever a justifying reason to grow government because more people are dependent on it.
But the ultimate objective of both of those things is to create that permanent Democrat voting majority because if you -- more and more dependent on government.
Even if you've never -- until quantity.
You're less likely to vote out the guys who are giving you the freebies who were supporting you.
And and who are giving you -- every stuff that's the political reality but Jamaica and Cuba but you make it sound as older doing something wrong newsprint.
So they are taking advantage of the system well it's not not doing something wrong direction they -- system done but.
But what I'm saying is the root of this is fundamentally.
I think inside American an.
Deliberately with policies that are crushing us economy in order to create more -- there's an don't have medical reasons -- Excuse me a lot of companies Alexander.
No but I mean even even people like to add to it worked George will.
And they're cricket little Bobby Jindal.
-- others are saying.
Of the Republican Party you're -- if -- can't continue to consult people have things are gonna more for you.
It's not an insult -- how to deal in react as conservatives -- as Republicans as moderates.
Who want to bring this country back on on a path of economic growth and get people working -- to all the reforms we need to see eve these programs.
You have to be able to told the truth first.
Which is that the Democratic Party right now is all about the -- they've been like this for decades but particularly now.
And the whole objective of Obama and the far left has been to accelerate us to that tipping point where more people are dependent on government -- not.
Remember that the accretion in the United States the ballot and -- let me just make when my when my credit I think we're talking about the life.
The country of your job tough -- open your house tried it.
And public this is the way to balance is always been private so far above tougher public are capitalizing on right.
Obama has army -- -- -- Obama is right away Obama has moved at like this day where the government sector -- now above the private sector that's not right.
Thirteen until there are I predict that to more money Obama accumulation now the president on his life.
Worth fourteen million dollars and good for them and god bless America.
Some legacy is Plosser we will -- -- predict.

After a fight that occurred a couple months back between Chris Brown and Frank Ocean's entourage. Legal papers have been filled against Brown where $3 million are being requested of him. Ocean's cousin Sha'Keir Duarte claims 'pain and suffering' from the fight and he has no shame in this.
Recently, Brown countersued Duarte last month but no details have been given from his part.
We can only wait to see who will win this battle!

Congressional leadership will meet at the White House to hammer out a deal to avoid going over that fiscal -- both parties say that they are willing to work together.
Something they failed to do in the past and the biggest challenge might be agreeing on taxes.
It's created doesn't make any sense to us to raise taxes on job creators at this time of economic challenge the equation is revenue and spending.
And we can increase revenue without increasing the tax rates on anybody in this country we.
Can't accept an unfair deal that -- all of this on the middle class and tells them they have to support it.
We have to make sure that the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share we.
So will Washington be able to compromise and if so what would that entail for a fair and balanced debate we are now joined by democratic strategist Brian Benjamin.
And Republican strategist Brian Morgenstern thanks so much guys for being with us thank you Brian lynch and I'll start with you is this possible -- congress.
Yes congress kinda compromised and it in the past and include.
What a tax increase on the wealthy Americans I mean let's not forget it was under Bill Clinton -- we could -- what 22 million jobs created.
And we had a higher tax rate I don't think this idea that higher tax rates stop economic growth -- -- economic growth.
Is the two parties agreeing on doing something that makes a difference and I think we have to come to an agreement and accept the fact the President Obama won the election which included the idea of tax cuts for those limits when -- 50000 in tax increases for the -- -- Americans.
But -- Brian Morgenstern tell me what you think is fair if we do compromise.
And taxes are raised 250000.
Dollars that's what Barack Obama ran on saying that.
Households making that amount of money and above will see their taxes go up is that is that fair.
No and it's not a wise move at this time that is a level that has to move Republicans are bringing other revenue source of the table.
Including night -- -- -- deductions and closing loopholes.
That number that the president is digging in his heels on.
Is right where the margins matter for small business people and it will affect the job market and so that is a point that is just the White House is gonna have to give up.
So what can we expect.
Well they're gonna make a deal we are not gonna go over the cliff neither party wants to see a recession and we don't want to see taxes go up for everyone and so I think that that top tax rate.
May -- we may see compromise on that we may see them the number go up.
And we will definitely see other sources of revenue as I mentioned capping deductions and closing loopholes.
Brian Benjamin what do you think we can expect well will expect well I think both -- -- agreeing on the same point we -- expecting something small but I think -- -- do something huge big.
Which we need to do to make a real difference on our on our deficit we have to have serious tax increases.
And we have to have serious spending.
Cuts as well but it has to be fair and I think set and a murderous right we can't have a one -- solution.
Which is what we had during the bush days when we had these tax cuts and then incur and then now listen we have to rely on the middle class that to take the brunt of the tax increase does it doesn't make sense to raise taxes when the economy is -- -- Well -- you know it's it's a tough situation but we also have a huge deficit problems can create other problems on the road so we have to have a approach that takes both into consideration.
And you know we have to prepare for the future and only way to do that is to have tax increases and a balanced way for the -- -- Americans and let's understand that -- a tough time so we have tax -- cuts for those who are making less money.
And -- you know we'll figure it out as a country but the wealthiest Americans have not paid their fair share you know for the last you know.
You know since the bush years and so I think we have to now look at that.
All right we'll see what happens thanks so much Brian and Brian for being with us this morning.

I am a 27yo that has been showing signs of low test. since 2008 when I had a surfing accident that injured my back I have had a lot of problems that I just recently started reading are signs of low test. I have had physical to mental problems that all point to low test. I'm in the Marines and ever since I returned from Afghanistan things have gotten worse. my doc keeps telling me that I am getting older and this is going to happen. I don't think he know anything about what might be wrong with me given his answers and his expressions. I have noticed that when I am on a good over the counter test booster my life and body is a lot better but not what it use to be like before my accident. before my accident I could put on muscle, burn fat, good memory, good attention. now all that and more is gone.
Test 1 date 3/17/12
-Test serum 534 (348-1197)
-estradiol 27.5 (7.6-42.6
there were also a lot of other test ran but i think this is the only ones that are important. I was using a test booster when this was taken.
Test 2 5/11/12
rest serum 443.40(280.00-800.00)
this test was done after clearing my system from all supps for 4 weeks.
Sorry its kind of long, I tried to shorten everything up. I will be getting out of the Marines in a few weeks and I was going to try and find another doc to help me. I'm moving to Minneapolis MN and was looking for help or advice from some more knowledgeable and experienced people in the subject. I need advice. On weather i can self medicate, what doc to see( i have not been able to get a referral in the service since my levels are "normal"), ways to find out what might be wrong, or just a solution. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as i feel like
im backed into a corner.

Sins of the father
Re: Global Ear, The Wire 338. I was amused to see Sandro Mussida quoted in an article on the state of the experimental music scene in Milan after the artistic vacuum left by the Berlusconi era. What Mussida forgets to mention is that he's the son of guitarist Franco Mussida, of Italian Prog rock group PFM. Franco and his PFM bandmates Lucio Fabbri, Franz Di Cioccio and Patrick Djivas have been constant contributors to Berlusconi's Mediaset/RAI empire as composers of atrocious jingles, killers of young people's minds via preregulated talent shows (in turn producing moneyspinning paper starlets), and as suppliers of musicians for the worst kind of television trash (Franco Mussida runs CPM, the most connected music school in Italy, where his son also teaches). Not to mention various male and female offspring of theirs mysteriously becoming famous on those very TV channels. Can we say they are the regime's avant garde? Massimo Ricci via email
Viennese whirl
As a resident of Vienna and frequent visitor to the Donaufestival, I'd like to comment on Jennifer Lucy Allan's piece (Bites, The Wire 338). Jennifer is spot on regarding the various "madcap art projects" in which the festival specialises, but sadly its music programming has become increasingly uninspired in recent years. Since the high water mark of 2007, which saw an unparalleled gathering of key figures from the Industrial underground (Current 93, Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle and many more), each subsequent year's line-up has led to feelings of bafflement and even stronger ones of déjà vu. Fans of CocoRosie, Antony, Laurie Anderson and Rhys Chatham will no doubt enjoy this year's performances by those artists just as much as they did when the same people appeared two or three years ago, while fans of Ben Frost will be wondering why he is absent in 2012 having appeared both last year and the year before. I wouldn't dispute the Donaufestival's status as a prime showcase for oddball performance art, but when this year's headlining acts include names like Hercules & Love Affair and Pantha Du Prince, it's clear that director Tomas Zierhofer-Kin's address book is looking rather thin. Richard Rees Jones Vienna, Austria
À la Mode
"Late-era Depeche Mode records offer a stale listening experience," writes Britt Brown in his review of VCMG's Ssss (Soundcheck, The Wire 338). Oh contraire! Of late, Depeche Mode has entered a purple patch of creativity. Produced by the redoubtable Ben Hillier, their last two records, Playing The Angel in 2005 and Sounds Of The Universe (which begins with a one-minute slab of musique concrète) in 2009, have been some of the strongest of their career: excellent songs; Bob Dylan-style ranting on "Wrong"; the four-on-the-floor dub of "A Pain That I'm Used To"; and the 21st century squelching Eraserhead electronica of "Sinner In Me" and "Fragile Tension"; not to mention "In Sympathy"' which is easily the equal of "Enjoy The Silence". Martin Gore is writing some of the best songs of his career and Dave Gahan's voice has never been better. Give them another spin, Britt, you won't regret it.
Now, when you say "stadium-sized productions and tired verse-chorus architectures", are you sure you're not referring to U2, whom Depeche left for dead years ago? Ziad Haidar Sydney, Australia
Editorial comment
A historical footnote to "We Are All David Toop Now" (The Wire 338). Musics magazine came about as the result of a phone conversation between Evan Parker, Madelaine Davidson and myself. We invited
Beresford, Burwell, Toop and others to contribute, as well as doing so ourselves. Martin Davidson (Emanem and psi) London, UK
Environmental agents
So Angel Sánchez Borges's advice to Los Llamarada is to start singing about peace and love (Letters, The Wire 337)? He must not be living in the same city. Maybe he is heading to a beautiful and peaceful beach near the Caribbean, rather than living in one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Aesthetics? The environment dictates strongly your aesthetic. Remember Detroit? A city hit by violence and crime? Remember The Stooges, The MC5, Death, Alice Cooper and Grand Funk? Some of the most abrasive proto-punk and hard rock acts emerged from that city. Wonder why? Because of the environment. Yeah, Motown was great, life affirming, but it didn't change the city's fortune; even Marvin Gaye's wonderful What's Going On was questioned by Motown because it reflected reality. Imagine if Marvin listened to that wrong advice – one of the most wonderful records of all time may have never been issued.
Angel Sánchez Borges casts doubt on the punk credentials of Los Llamarada (even though their sound belongs more to the post-punk of The Fall, Joy Division or Wire). Punk was born in the extreme conditions of downtown New York. British punk blossomed under the Thatcher regime. Hardcore is one of the only things we can thank the Reagan administration for. When the American economy got better, we got shit like pop punk. A harsh environment helps abrasive music to develop, and Gone Gone Cold, Los Llamarada's latest opus, is nurtured by the hostile conditions the city is in – cruel drug wars, executions, corruption, terrorism, extreme poverty, extreme richness, nothing in between. Yes, we want our city back, we want to be safe in the streets again. Some might live in an idyllic world, some others live in a very harsh reality, and everyone reflects their very personal view.

Hex enduction
Ah, it made me smile – The Howling Hex get a good review (The Columns, Soundcheck, The Wire 336). Keith Moliné's take on the new album Wilson Semiconductors is brilliant! It's only the second time I have read glowing words about The Howling Hex, I think. For some perverse reason, all the previous negative reviews have only made me like this band more. Someone finally gets what is going on. I am totally with Keith on this: the thing to get is to stop trying to get it, and the nutty, ramshackle greatness will be revealed. Sarah Haq Melbourne, Australia
Director's cuts
Sam Davies rather underplays Jim Jarmusch's involvement in the "shortlived" Del-Byzanteens (Soundcheck, The Wire 337). In their five or so years together in the early 1980s, they recorded one album, Lies To Live By, and two EPs, Draft Riot and the sublime Girl's Imagination, with lyrics by Luc Sante, vocals and keyboards by Jarmusch (and, elsewhere, reeds by John Lurie). The title track of that latter EP alone, a delirious mash-up of early B-52s/Can, should earn them/it the status of a not-sominor classic of No Wave. John Gill Skopelos, Greece
Corrections Issue 338 In the Sun Araw feature, the name of the "hedonistic surfer dude" character in Apocalypse Now was Lance Johnson, not Mr Clean, and he was played by Sam Bottoms not Laurence Fishburne (who played Mr Clean). In the Charles Gayle feature, the second and third columns were reversed. In Print Run, the review of How Soon Is Now? was by Owen Hatherley, not Hatley.
