Washington (AP) Attorney General Michael Mukasey wants congress to figure out how to give Guantanamo bay terror detainees their day in U.S. Civilian courts.
Mukasey says last month's Supreme Court ruling that gave foreign suspects the right to challenge their detention leaves significant questions unanswered. He says lawmakers and not federal district judges should decide the rules governing the detainees' hearings.
Mukasey is making his request this morning in a speech, parts of which were obtained by the Associated Press.
About 200 detainee cases are being reviewed in U.S. District court in Washington, where judges have said they want to set rules for the hearings by year's end.
It's unclear at best whether congress could act by then.

Four illegal ways to sort out the Euro finance crisis
Saving the euro isn't the easiest of things: solving the current problems actually would be quite easy, if expensive, except for all the laws and regulations that rule out all of the easy ways. The basic problem is well explained here. Don't worry too much about what the Taylor Rule is: just accept that if you're going to have a …
Why should the Euro be any different?
What I have never understood is why people thing the Euro should be any different to the Pound of the Dollar?
There are parts of the UK for which 0.5% interest rates are too low (south, south east, etc) and parts for which it's about right (north west, scotland, etc). The same with parts of the US.
Why should the Euro area be any different?
Devaluation for one
Fair point, but once countries are in the Eurozone they can't do alot of things normal countries can. They can't devalue to boost their exports, and they can't inflate their way out of debt. Tim mentioned a few more, but they are the main ones.
It was a great idea for only 5-6 countries, but once the Euro-fanatics decided on "enlargement at any cost", and bent their own rules to get Greece in (its application had already been rejected once) it was bound to fail.
Currency union implies political union
The EU isn't truly one country with the same law, taxes etc everywhere.
Unitary States
If the Euro were a unitary state, it would be exactly the same.
However, it seems that the Eurozone has the tough bits of being a unitary state (ie you can't leave, and you can't treat different parts differently) but doesn't have the benefits that go along with it (ie you can't cross-subsidise areas that suffer from a single interest rate)
(and for history fans: the UK govt/BoE has been setting interest rates to suit the SE of England regardless of the effect elsewhere for decades. It's one of the economic drivers for Scottish independence)
EFSF/CDO guarantees put German on the hook
@Andy Pellew, Because you're talking about entire countries with completely different structural issues (e.g. banking, housing market, law, benefit systems), no possibility of regular fiscal transfers between countries, no real free movement of working labor (different languages for a start, education standards), there is linked monetary policy but not fiscal/government budget policy, etc.!
Back on topic:
Of the four solutions (Euro breakup, Fiscal Transfers, CDO, Euro debt monetization aka the "Fed" solution), this is likely the least painful *up-front* and buys the most time.
What the CDO solution ultimately relies on are its state-backed guarantees to pay out in the future. For the new expanded vehicle, if you do the sums (and Bernstein has) and include cover for Belgium and Italian sovereign debt, the fund would need Euro 1.5 *trillion* backed by 1.7 trillion in guarantees.
Since the vehicle includes the very states that are currently experiencing the biggest problems and whose guarantees are considered worthless by the market, this puts the core EU countries on the hook, in particular Germany. The German guarantee becomes worth Euro 790 billion or 32% of their GDP! If for any reason France is downgraded, Germany's pro-rata share of funding jumps to 1.385 trillion or 56% of GDP!!
Of course, what is the likelihood of any German government or population paying out that much money in order to keep funding Greece, its creditors and their population's lifestyle? As you can imagine, if the Fiscal Transfer/Political Union solution was unpalatable, this would be inconceivable! Bond vigilantes may decide to go straight for the jugular and start parking themselves at the German sovereign debt desk as well ...
However, as the author stated, the CDO solution does not change anything about the underlying Euro situation. While the inflationary Fed solution was not pursued, you still have an ECB which chooses not to concern itself with the state of periphery nations as well as huge structural imbalances between members of the EMU.
In short, watch this space ...!
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
<i>once countries are in the Eurozone they can't do alot of things normal countries can</i>
But the same is true, except more so, for states in the USA or regions within the UK or Germany.
You'll note that East Germany can't devalue relative to West Germany, for instance, nor set a different interest rate.
It's a classic functionalist tactic - create a situation where more integration (massive subsidies from rich countries to poor ones in this case) is the solution to a problem created by the previous bout of integration.
Functionalists see the job of the EU as solving economic problems, and, to them, this crisis just highlights how much the EU is needed.
Democracy? Gets in the way of the brilliance of the Enarques running everything.
The annoying thing is that when the federalists try to do things that shift power away from the Enarques to people who are actually democratically elected, like the constitution, they get rejected for being too centralising. All the centralising stuff in the constitution went through in Lisbon anyway - but the democratising stuff got thrown out. Greatest victory for the functionalists over the federalists since the Treaty of Rome, and the bloody Eurosceptics helped the functionalists.
Why should Euro be any different (P.94)
Good point @Andy Pellew, and even transfers within national currency areas deemed necessary to overcome different economic circumstances are becoming controversial eg England to Wales/Scotland and within Belgium, from richer Dutch-speaking Flanders to French-speaking wallonia.
Re subsequent posts, some transfers between EU countries already happen through the EU Regional Fund. This could be expanded or provide a template for another instrument. The problem is not technical, but political. On what basis can northern countries impose their style of social contract on southern ones? The limit of the EU is that it's still a club of countries and suffers from a democratic deficit. Given low voter turnout, the European Parliament has not solved this.
@Andy Pellew
It is very simple really, and the author dealt with it in his article.
If we look at the 2 largest currency unions in the world (excluding the Euro).
The Dollar works because of federal intervention. The successful states are forced to send vast amounts of money, via the federal government, to the unsuccessful states. For example, despite New York having 3 of the largest 5 non-federal debts in the US (New York City, New York State and the Metropolitan Transport Authority are all in the top 5 borrowers list), New York still has a massive economy, so it is forced to send money to poor states in the Mid-West or South in order to flatten out the economy. This is no different to the South East of the UK massively subsidising the rest of the country.
The African French Franc works simply by being tied to a much larger economy (the Eurozone now, and the French Franc before that). For this to work though you need orders of magnitude difference.
The Euro has none of these mechanisms. To a certain extent it started working for the periphery economies simply because they were tied to a much bigger economy (franco-german centre). Unfortunately, as they got access to huge euro lending markets at very low interest rates, the economies became much bigger, without the substance behind them to support them. They are now no longer small compared to France or Germany (especially when you look at Portugal, Ireland, or even Spain, Italy. They could mirror the USD by Germany, France and the other northern economies flooding money south, but that won't wash politically. We are stuck with some pretty miserable other options. Even the writing off 50-70% of the debt of Greece option that the author talks about won't really help because Greece is in Primary Deficit - it cannot pay its way even if it defaults. The usual way countries deal with this is the combination of 3 things. Austerity, default and devaluation. The Eurozone is trying to force Greece to deal with it using only austerity. That is doomed to failure, and to be honest, even if we let them deal with it using default as well, it is probably too late. The only way to devalue though is to leave the Eurozone.
If I were a betting man I would say there is as much as a 50% chance that Greece falls out of the Eurozone. This is not dissimilar to the UK falling out of the ERM, and the funny thing is economically, that was really good for Britain!
@Dave Handley
Your point about the productive states in the US subsidizing the unproductive is quite topical here, given that the unproductive states are mostly governed by strident ideologues screaming about reducing the Federal budget. We should make a start with these states' welfare. But it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the EU. There's an alternative to leaving the Eurozone, which is to run the productive economy on an unofficial parallel currency and to hell with the central banks. That's what will happen anyway, in the event the austerity measures get too harsh, whether the alternative is drachma, dollars, gold, bitcoins or bottle caps. Of course that will also be illegal, but unlike the other illegal options, it will be popular.
"The EU isn't truly one country with the same law, taxes etc everywhere."
True, but the UK, US and (I'd guess) most federal countries don't have the same law and taxes everywhere either. IIRC, Scottish Parliament can vary income tax by +/- 3%; variation in laws and taxes between US states is obviously much more significant.
What did they expect...
It would be a good idea for a few like minded countries - but once you let the lazy and the feckless join (the ones with corruption as a way of life), then it's pretty much game over before it's even started.
@ PT - and unlike the other illegal options
It will be run mostly by bona fide criminals
But hey - thats what politicians do best - ignore reality until it threatens to swamp them and then declare war on it.
Interesting article.
(This dull comment therefore being required by Hunter's interpretation of compound interest.)
Hmmmmm, 4 other illegal ways could be used
1) The mass killing of everyone of pensionable age.
2) The mass killing of anyone ill.
3) Tthe mass killing of the unemployed
4) Ethnic cleansing of the USA by anyone who feels like it. (won't save the euro, but it will take all the press attention away from the problem)
RE: Hmmmmm, 4 other illegal ways could be used
"1) The mass killing of everyone of pensionable age....." On a State pension, you mean? Surely the ones on private pensions are actually going to be needed to keep the banks solvent?
".......2) The mass killing of anyone ill....." The NHS already have that one covered. Private healthcare would seem a good idea, then?
".......3) The mass killing of the unemployed......" Bring back National Service for the unemployed, start more foreign wars = job done!
"......4) Ethnic cleansing of the USA by anyone who feels like it. (won't save the euro, but it will take all the press attention away from the problem)" Yeah, but the US is actually a big consumer market we would be targetting if Labour and the unions hadn't spent years destroying our industrial base, so why don't we just leave the EU, send anyone vaguely leftwing to live on the Continent with their socilaist bretheren, and let them f*ck up someone else's country for a change?
Mass killing of the unemployed.
I thought that was often the whole point of 19th century armies; put your surplus odds and sods in the army/ navy and send them off to fight a foreign war, and reward the (very) few who came back, preferably using your newly conquered territory as the reward.
Hmm, sounds like a plan; if we could get all the unemployed youth and over 60s into the Territorial Army and send them to Afghanistan maybe we would be on to something here...
@Marcus Aurelius
Afghanistan WTF? Let's reclaim the colonies - send them to 'merica!
a much better way
The mass killing of politicians and economist
@Neal 5
"4) Ethnic cleansing of the USA by anyone who feels like it. (won't save the euro, but it will take all the press attention away from the problem)"
This used to be handled by ex members of the US Postal Service.
Currently it seems to being conducted by various disaffected high school students.
"The mass killing of politicians and economist"
Too little.
Too late.
Robert Heinlein said it a long time ago......
Ref: The Day They Hung All The Lawyers.... makes sense, kill two or more birds with one stone since 99% of politicians are lawyers and make the world a happier place once the leeches are gone.
Ever notice that even though lawyers never produce anything, they win whether YOU win or lose and are worth millions?
I had a bizaaro moment when I mis read merica as Mercia. What makes it worse is that I now live temporarily in ancient Mercia. (I Yield, theres a joke there, but its obscure!)
"Ever notice that even though lawyers never produce anything, they win whether YOU win or lose and are worth millions?"
As do book makers, casino operators, accountants and banks.
@John Smith 11:50GMT
Ah, but you're not forced to interact with book makers, casino operators, accountants, and banks. You need a damn lawyer to cross the street without being sued by some other fucking lawyer... I'm STILL trying to get 527 hours of overtime out of some bastards who screwed me from almost a year ago. Federal labor laws be damned, they have copious amounts of cash with lawyers on staff, I don't. Guess who is broke and just lost his truck to the bank? It's not them.
@Matt Bryant
"if Labour and the unions hadn't spent years destroying our industrial base"
You STILL haven't opened that history book, have you? You appear to be completely ignorant of events both before and during your own lifetime. We have seen the failure of Right wing fantasy economics (Thatcherite, New Labour, Orange Book, US Republican) in the shape of social decline in the affected countries and a massive recession whose arrival surprised NOBODY with any wit, judgement or understanding.
RE: @Matt Bryant
"You STILL haven't opened that history book, have you?....." Some of us have direct knowledge, rather than what we read secondhand, through rose-tited glasses, in Socialist Weekly. Studies in the UK showed British bosses in the '60s and '70s spent four times as much time dealing with union issues than any other country (including the US and their infamous Teamsters). All that time and energy wasted playing shopfloor politics meant less on R&D, marketting, and just simple production planning. Why do you think the Japanese (Honda in 1985 and Nissan in 1986) didn't bring production to the UK until after the power of the unions had been broken by Thatcher? If all they wanted was unencumbered access to the European market, why didn't they pick a country like Spain or Greece? The answer is because they planned a lot further ahead than the idiotic unions ever managed. The unions have been in decline both here and in the US for decades because the workers have realised they were largely a complete waste of time and did nothing to save jobs, quite the opposite.
The Greek economic mess is the perfect example of popularist socialist policies running beyond the means of a country. We have almost as dire a case here in the UK, thanks to Broooooon and NuLabour. I can predict with absolute certainty you next response will be the same as always from the socialist camp - "tax the rich more" - which ignores the fact that the rich will simply move their money and businesses to less-taxed countries, which will mean less local investment and less jobs. Sucks to be a socialist in a globalised economy, eh? I'm told by people in the City that the smart and rich Greeks have already ensured their money is safely out of Greece.
You can't blame the unions for the lack of money spent on R&D, new plant, decent design or market research. The lack of productivity (in the low tax, low wage UK!) was a result of poor, lazy and complacent management. Strange that Germany with board level employee representation has so consistently outperformed the UK throughout the period from the 1970s to the present day.
Suck up to the rich all you like; they won't thank you for it, I can assure you! True, the unions were a nuisance and democracy is not always comfortable to watch or take part in, but you really do need to wake up and see that the alternative is likely to be much, much worse.
RE: No.
"You can't blame the unions for the lack of money spent on R&D, new plant, decent design or market research....." You can if you think about the time and money wasted on just dealing with the unions. If you think the unions were so great, please point out just one of the millitant union morons that didn't completely kill off the industry they championed "for the workers"? Steel? Yeah, go ask people in Sheffield how that worked out. Cars? Mining? Shipbuilding? All just about completely dead. Nationalisation policies brought in by Labour and the completely illogical demands of the unions made any chance of competition unlikely.
Comparing to Germany is hilarious - the Germans saw early on the effects of socialism, both when they faced an attempted Communist-backed "revolution" in the post-WW1 years and then during Hitler's reign (remember, Nazi = National Socialist? - how quickly you lot conveniently forget that). Post-WW2 German so-called worker representation was just a sop to keep the socialists in line - please try and show a single example where the workers' rep was anything other than window dressing? Please provide an example, say from Mercedes or BMW, where the workers' rep actually had a comcrete say in planning rather than just rubber-stamping it? If so, please explain why BMW and Mercedes have been happilly moving their manufacturing abroad for years if the German workers' reps are so all-powerful? You also forgot to admit that German workers didn't make the same stupid demands the unions did in the UK, but that's because the Germans were generally a lot less tolerant of the same type of extreme socialism.
".....democracy is not always comfortable to watch or take part in ...." The unions were nothing to do with democracy, in fact they were the exact opposite of democracy. Scargill is the perfect example - his stated aim was to force the majority-elected government to fail through the actions of his minority rabble. The mechanisms the unions used to control and direct their members were also totally undemocratic - secret ballots, bussing in pickets from other industries and areas to hide the low representation they had in certain businesses, and the complete joke of how they "elected" their officials with closed lists. "Democracy" - you haven't a clue.
RE: No.
PS: Forgot to laugh at your prime bit of living-in-the-past class war idiocy; "......Suck up to the rich all you like; they won't thank you for it...." No, they PAY me a wage to work for them. That allows me to live a lot better than those stuck in the "socialist wonderlands" of places like North Korea. If I don't like the wages or conditions under which they employ me, I leave to find another job. No sucking up required, just some common sense and application, rather than an illogical belief that everything should be given to me on a plate because I somehow "deserve it". Which seems to be the core of the Greek problem.
Too much debt?
This may be too simplistic (and since they haven't done it is almost certainly the case):
Part of the PIGS (and others) mountain of debt is intra-EU debt. Why not net off all the intra-EU debts for a start? This wouldn't make any practical difference to their debt servicing costs, but would reduce the headline numbers (and might just be enough to bring some of the ratios back into "sustainable" territory).
You cant do that.
We need the interest payments on the books in order to stop it looking like we are about to default.
It won't pass
This "EMF" now has to be ratified by 27 countries, and the German voters have to agree to make their grandchildren poorer for the next few generations so they can bail out the lazy Greeks, etc, with money they worked very hard to earn.
They've had enough.
Leave the useless economies to it. This view harsh but probably fair:
Cause and effect
If they want German standards of living, they'll have to get a Germanic level of work ethic!
Doing things properly is a fairly obvious strategy
I'm not sure the Germans see that as a work ethic. They might just say, "But, why wouldn't you?"
The whole "marks for effort" thing is, perhaps, more of an Anglo-Saxon speciality. Or as George Bernard Shaw said, "An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable."
Re: Cause and effect
"If they want German standards of living, they'll have to get a Germanic level of work ethic!"
Or alternatively elect a madman, start a massive global conflict. Kill the weak and infirm, and have all your healthy young people blown to bits. Have a couple of your biggest cities torn to shreds by firebombs, wiping out thousands of all ages. Then have half your country turned into a pseudo-communist police state.
All this will result in a low population and in particular a very low welfare bill. If you do the warfare thing well, it will result in development in the industrial engineering sector, as your gun factories become pipeworks, your tank factories produce luxury cars and your aeroplane factories service the burgeoning tourist sector.
Personally, I think that Germany paid a pretty high cost to get where it is today, and I wouldn't wish Germany's success on my worst enemy!
What I really don't understand is,
Who do Greece actually owe this money *to*?
That's the $64 000 question. Or even the €100 000 000 000 question.
Bonus question, why don't they just do what everyone who owes me money seems to do, and fob them off with excuses and sob stories?
Re fob them off
That's what they did for years! Problem is, it doesn't work forever.
Bonds or the owners of bonds anyway
The Greek people owe the money to owners of Greek Government bonds. National governments generally borrow money by selling bonds to pretty well anybody. A bond is typically a contract to pay a fixed rate of interest for a defined period of time and repay the capital at the end of the fixed period of time.
Buyers of bonds include for example the general public, banks, pension funds and other countries. These are the same bonds that your granny may have bought you when you were born, and also in the UK have a special case of premium bonds (don't pay interest as such but are entered in a lottery instead).
It is the answer to the second question that is perhaps the real crux of the crisis. If the Greek Government don't honour their bonds, and as you say 'fob them off with excuses and sob stories' this causes a reduction in confidence in Greek Bonds (*). The long and the short of this is that new Greek Bonds are harder to sell, and attract a much higher rate of interest.
But unlike your debtors who could probably survive without borrowing national governments struggle at this point. This also knocks onto the other owners of the bonds they have to all intents lost the money represented by the bond. Banks start to go bankrupt, more people lose money, other countries bonds devalue and so on.
(*) This is perhaps what is happening on a smaller scale anyway.
@A J Stiles
"Bonus question, why don't they just do what everyone who owes me money seems to do, and fob them off with excuses and sob stories?"
Because that's what they have *been* doing for the last few decades?
Greece owes most of this money to banks and other financial institutions who yet again made huge loans with apparently few checks(*). The large majority of the European creditor banks etc are based in France and Germany (in that order), hence their politicians are particularly insistent on a fix that does not involve a large scale default - at least not on their watch. So the bottom line is that money will continue to flow from tax payers to banks to cover their losses, plus ca change.
(*) ironically other financial institutions, or even different parts of the same institutions, were paid to obfuscate less helpful details to ensure the loans went through - I guess following the example of our old friends at Goldman who were charged with getting Greece into the Euro in the first place.
...and, for that matter,
what on earth did they spend it all on?
Is this what it it costs for an entire country to replace all its plates after smashing them at the end of every meal? They should just stop doing that.
What they spent it on
Presumably all those plates were broken in celebration at retirement parties for 50-year olds who'd never paid any tax all their working life.
@The elephant in the room
"what on earth did they spend it all on?"
Well it seems it was a mix of living expenses (living on your credit card for years) and property speculation (getting a mortgage and relying on the rise of value of the property and your job to handle it).
After all it was all *easy* money.
"Is this what it it costs for an entire country to replace all its plates after smashing them at the end of every meal? They should just stop doing that."
Careful now you wouldn't want to be accuses of ethnic profiling, would you ?
RE: money-go-round
Oh, the familiar excuse of the socilaist politician (as typified by our Ed The Puppet) - "It's all those nasty bankers' fault!" Despite the banks only operating to the rules set by the socialist politicians, and depsite it being those same politicians that spent all the money in the first place.
Mr Bryant
1) Most of the deficit is accounted for by the cost of the recession caused by inept banks, an idiotic belief in infallible markets, oh, and corrupt ratings agencies.
2) Destroying a large financial organistion, eg: a bank, just because 'the rules allow you to' is NOT somebody else's fault.
3) The overlap between the rich and the clever is nothing like as large as your fond imaginings would presume it to be.
RE: Mr Bryant
"......inept banks....." So, that would be largely the Fwench banks in the Greek case then? Strange, but I don't see many Fwench or even British bankers wandering round homeless, but I see plenty of poor people here in the UK and US struggling to pay their mortgages.
If you're referring to the UK recession, that was the fault of Dummicrat politicians in the US that allowed the sham of sub-prime mortgages to continue even after the warnings signs had become so clear (Dubyah Bush warned as far back as 2003). The Dummicrats saw the sub-prime mortgage market as a vote-winner with lower-paid voters, but all it did was sell them into massive debts they had no chance of repaying. Due to the massive size of the US mortgage market, the risk was spread globally, so when the US caught a cold it was UK banks that sneezed. Just to make that clear for you in a language you may understand - nasty capitlaist rich people warned the Chamipions of The Poor that their socialist agenda was putting the nation's economy at risk (true, the US warnings were pretty US-centric), and the socilaists ignored them, the problems came home to roost, and it was the poor people that suffered most. Nothing to do with inept bankers, a lot of them made plenty of money, quite legally, from the mess created by socialist economic meddling. The fun bit was the reaction by the socialists to the mess they created - blame it ont he bankers, spend more money in bailouts, and ensure that our grandchildren will be saddled with massive debts too!
".....Destroying a large financial organistion, eg: a bank, just because 'the rules allow you to' is NOT somebody else's fault...." Que? Who's talking about destroying banks? Personally, I'm not too against the idea of a bank or two failling. Banks have failed before. In fact, it might be a good thing, as at the moment the bankers are doing the sums and thinking they can make risky bond buys with the virtual guarantee that the Germans will provide a backstop. All legal.
"......The overlap between the rich and the clever is nothing like as large as your fond imaginings would presume it to be....." I always measure cleverness by application rather than just intelligence. I know a lot of very intelligent people form "good" backgrounds that work in relatively low-paid work. But I also know another guy in a financial institution that left school with no formal qualifications, started in the mailroom, and ended up a CEO. On paper, he is less "clever", but he's the one with the private jet, yatch and holiday home in Barbados. From what I heard, he didn't have an easy time during his climb, and he didn't get there without treading on some people, but do I resent him for working very hard to get what he's got? Nope. He applied what he had and made his fortune. Mind you, I also know a dealer that gave it all up after five hard years on the trading floor and bought out a diving school in Antigua. He is happier now even though he lives in a beach shack, but who's to say which one is the "cleverer"? Maybe if you stopped following the politics of envy you might see mroe "cleverness" too.
Why the Europ is different
@Andy Pellew - the Euro is different because in the UK the SE can funnel money to the NE (and does so, a lot). This cannot happen across different countries because of European law. See Option 2 in the article.
@Why should the Euro be any different?
Think the difference is that while 0.5% is the right/wrong rate in different parts of the UK its all still the same economy so other fiscal measures can be taken to address this and spending can be directed to where its needed. In the Eurozone the situation is different as there's a collection of seperate economies all on the same currency ... when Greece is finding it tough with a higher interest rate its more contentious to say that taxes raised in Germany where things are going better will be used to pay the bills than in the UK to say taxes raised in the more prosperous SE will be used to pay the bills in the NW.
All one economy?
"while 0.5% is the right/wrong rate in different parts of the UK its all still the same economy"
Umm no. So very much no.
The SE of England is nearly always at a different point of the cycle to Scotland, so when the MPC (and previously the Chancellor) set rates to cool 'the overheating economy' it was only thinking of the SE of England economy. Usually at that point, the Scottish economy is only just emerging from the freezer, with disastrous results.
@martin burns
It is a case of being between a rock and a hard place for the MPC. Given the SE of the UK and London, in general, subsidise the rest of the economy of the UK and contain the largest part of the economy it makes sense to target rates for that area.
Would you rather they kept rates low to support Scotland and, at the same time, allow the SE to go absolutely batshit crazy on easy credit? I doubt you would so we arrive at the unfortunate situation whereby the bit that makes the most money gets pandered to whilst the bit in shit-street cops a kicking. I doubt the NE of England is any different in this regard.

Uncle Pops in Seven Elevens and Rainbow Acres in Los Angeles
the rack works well in Neighborhood Markets, Grocery Stores, Liquor Stores, and Gas Stations
MSRP $3.99 to $5.49 based on the flavor. Distributors and Stores are welcome to inquire
Uncle Pops
began with my father in Chicago, IL in the 80s. With a kettle popcorn machine, his delicious recipes filled my childhood with simple goodness. Growing up, my uncle encouraged me to leave the corporate structure and do what I love. In 2013 I finally did. The result is Uncle Pops, a tasty, artisan, and
preservative-free Los Angeles popcorn brand based on my childhood nostalgia. We started on
and our kitchen is growing! Uncle Pops is a delicious snack great when with friends or family. Eat Uncle Pops at home or give a popcorn gift to your clients, friends, and customers!

We know the pressure on guests going to the Met Ball, which takes place next Monday in New York, is intense. You've got to look your absolute best for the biggest night out of the year in global fashion, after all. But from what we've been hearing, getting ready for this year's event is even more extreme – and takes two months of prep. There are the girls going to the gym every day to get their arms buff enough to give Michelle Obama a run for her money. There's the fight to secure the best possible St Tropez fake tanner, hairdresser and professional make-up artist to get you ready for your close up on the night. And there's the odyssey of finding a suitable on-trend high-fashion dress to impress the cream of the industry. And with rules being set – it is alleged – by none other than Anna Wintour, the stakes are high. Here are the rumoured rules, which everyone must follows (and you would, wouldn't you?).
The dress has to be either rare vintage or from next season (ie: autumn/winter '09) and fresh from the catwalk. 'We start our selection process runway-side,' says one friend from New York. 'We all ear-mark our preferred item.'
The dress must never have been seen in public before, apart from on the model who wore it on the runway. So if an actress/musician/model has worn it on the red carpet already since the shows in February, it's out.
Every designer of note must be represented.
Absolutely no one can wear the same as anyone else.
How can all these rules be adhered to? You have to consult with Anna Wintour's office. Apparently Ms Wintour keeps a close eye on what everyone is wearing, passing down stern suggestions as to what designer one should wear etc. Pity the poor Vogue staffer who saw her earmarked dress being worn by an A-list actress just a week before last year's event. Or Lauren Hutton, who ripped the ligaments in her knee in a surfing accident and put in a request asking if she could wear a shorter Michael Kors dress to assist her mobility. Still, as a result of Hutton's request being granted, the field has been opened up – until this year the only length permitted at the Met Ball was long. We can't wait to see how everyone looks on the night. The Oscars can already eat their heart out...

Diabetes NCLEX Questions Review
The NLCEX likes to ask a fair amount of questions about diabetes.
Here are 10 practice questions, and this page discusses general ideas and strategy.
Diabetes NCLEX questions tend to check on your ability to understand the various aspects of both treating diabetes and the complications that arise from it.
Some key areas that it tends to focus on are:
Ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia:
Knowing the difference between ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia, as well as how to treat the two
Ketoacidosis: life threatening reaction, has hyperglycemia, dehydration, often treated with insulin and to reduce dehydration among others, monitoring intracranial pressure often important, because a too rapid blood sugar level drop can cause issues.
Patient shows up with abnormal blood sugar:
A very common NCLEX diabetes question type is: "A patient shows up with a blood sugar reading of X (either too low, too high, or normal). What should you do?"
Make sure to know how to interpret the lab value and then how to deal with all three cases.
You should be able to assess a client's knowledge of the treatment of diabetes and how to manage different attitudes towards treatment.
Specific knowledge areas commonly asked about include how often a patient should take medication, how they should respond to certain situations like a hypoglycemic event, and what a healthy diet consists of.
You're also expected to know a fair amount of the diabetes medications.
This means knowing the difference between those used for Type I vs Type II, the insulins, the sulfonylureas, and sensitizers, and so on, as well as what potential interactions they may have.
It's also good to know what dietary modifications are needed for which meds, and some other details.
Taking care of feet
Also good to know are the proper ways for a patient with diabetes to take care of their feet.

Beauty and Fashion
Here's a magical combination for you: clothes you'll feel good about buying and that your kids will feel great playing in. Nohi Kids makes boys' and girls' tees, pants, leggings, play sets, and dresses out of soft, breathable, eco-friendly fabric, with designs that are both cute and cutting-edge.
You may have heard of Nohi Kids already – they've been touted by DailyCandy – but why their apparel is so cool is another matter. Their apparel is 100% organic, made from a 50/50 blend of cotton and bamboo fiber. Bamboo fiber is soft and naturally stretchy, so these clothes are easy to get on to your kids (and hard to get off because they're so comfy!). Bamboo fiber is highly breathable, helping keep kids warm in winter and cool in summer and making it lovely for layering. It's non-irritating, naturally UV-protective, more inherently anti-bacterial than other fabrics, and (hallelujah!) naturally wrinkle-resistant.
Nohi Kids clothing is good for the Earth and our communities as well. Bamboo is the planet's fastest naturally growing plant, making it a sustainable resource. All Nohi Kids inks are low-impact, water-based, and certified lead-free. Their factories adhere to SA8000 standards for workplace safety, fair working hours, and decent wages, and against discrimination and child labor.
$27 for $50 worth of clothing that's good for your kids and for everyone else on the planet, too? That's a Plum Deal, if we don't mind saying so ourselves.
Nohi Kids morphs Oakland designer Janel Jones's love of kids and her love of design into one cute, little package. Nohi Kids creates comfortable, high quality, and eco-friendly clothes that appeal to both kids and their parents. They are the favorite dress or tee shirt that your child won't take off. (Sorry.) And, Nohi Kids wants to be sure that our clothes are durable enough so that you can pass them down to the next lucky kid. All of their fabric is 100% skal-certified organic, pre-shrunk, and ready for your washer and dryer.
Nohi Kids is committed to doing their part to improve the lives of children. They donate a portion of their profits to charities and participate in events that promote the health and well-being of children.

Warriors may not be the best anymore but we are fully capable of tanking everything in ulduar. I have not gone the avoidance rout myself though so I am unsure how well that works for warriors in Ulduar. As for the spell reflect I do not think that taking improved spell reflect is really about the 4%. The main use that I have used it for is for Steelbreaker phase three and yogg saron phase two. You can spell reflect the Hight Voltage for the melee and do 15-30k damage with each spell reflect you do on steelbreaker. In yogg phase two you can stand with the raid and reflect all the debuffs the corruptors cast. This lets you do 20-21k or chain stun or slow depending on what you reflect.
Now for your gear and spec. If you are having trouble taking damage and do not have trouble with your threat you might want to pick up improved demo shout instead of deep wounds. Also change out some of your expertise gems for more stam. You really shouldnt need to focus on threat on your progression gear. Have a second set that you focus on threat that you switch out to when needed. Your defense problem seems to stem from your ring not having defense. I would get that upgraded as your number one priority

Yesterday saw the BAFTA's to end all BAFTA's. First there was a Brad and Angelina love in on the red carpet – the couple surprised everyone when they arrived hand in hand, Angelina stopping to straighten Brad's bow tie. Never before have we seen such excitement at the awards as even Prince William walked down the red carpet.
After the awards came the dinner – held at Grosvenor Hotel – the ONLY place in London with a ballroom big enough to cater to the 2000 guests, serving up a delicious three course dinner. One person didn't seem quite so keen on theirs though as Suki Waterhouse stuck her knife and fork into hers.
People queued to see Cate Blanchett who had earlier accepted the Lead Actress award. We caught up with Stephen Fry who was calling Amanda Berry – the CEO of BAFTA and Prince William's date for the evening – the new Queen consort. We asked him how he felt his presentation skills had gone, 'Everyone seemed happy, so that makes me happy,' he said.
Later we headed to Harvey Weinstein's post awards bash which was sponsored by Grey Goose and Bulgari – held at the beautiful Rosewood Hotel. There everyone was talking about Oprah who had her own table surrounded by 5 bodyguards. Amazing. Guests were entertained by Lisa Fischer, the Rolling Stones backing singer who appears in Oscar nominated documentary 20 Feet from Stardom.
What we loved was the number of celebs who seemed to have taken their Mum's as their dates, Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lupita Nyong'o all bought theirs along for the evening. Mega AWWWW.
Whilst Suki Waterhouse and Bradley Cooper put on some pretty mega PDA's, Sadie Frost and Noel Gallagher hung out in the outside smoking area where they were entertained by an amazing brass band including a man with flames coming out of his instrument. What. A. Night.

Florida Department of Education Announces New Content Available on iTunes U~ Historic Markers and Florida Facts, Florida Portraits, Florida's Attic and Great Floridians now available as a free download ~
TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Department of Education today announced new civics content available on iTunes U, thanks to a brand new partnership with The Florida Channel. The new content, including Historic Markers and Florida Facts, Florida Portraits, Florida's Attic, Great Floridians, 60 Second Civics and Florida Symbols, leverages The Florida Channel's extensive library of public affairs programs and educational content to engage students in the workings of Florida government. These new content additions will enable students and teachers across the world to access an even broader array of instructional tools and resources to assist learning both in and out of the classroom.
"Florida available on iTunes U has proven to be an important resource in providing exceptional educational content to our teachers and students," said Education Commissioner Dr. Eric J. Smith. "With the addition of the Florida Channel's content, I'm excited that more users can access quality programs that will teach them about our government and the rich history of our state."
The Florida Channel is a public affairs programming service operated by Florida State University's WFSU-TV and funded by the Florida Legislature. Their extensive year round coverage of the three branches of state government provides students and educators additional tools about historical events and leaders that enhance learning in and outside of school.
The Florida Channel's Executive Director Beth Switzer adds, "We are pleased to be an active partner in this effort to enhance a student's learning environment by providing direct access to state government and the people and places that contribute to our diverse state."
The Florida Department of Education first made content available on iTunes U in September 2009, providing free educational audio and video content to students, teachers and learners of all types in the state and around the world. Since its establishment in the Sunshine State, the average number of visitors per day to the site has grown from 1,500 to more than 11,000 at its peak.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 22, 2005
Schumer Announces Key Senate Panel Backs $200,000 for the Griffiss Local Development Corporation
Senator Aggressively Lobbied Senate Appropriations Committee To Include Funding In Spending Bill Federal Dollars will be used for Development of a Multi-Tenant Technology Office Complex
U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced that the Senate Appropriations Committee approved $200,000 for Griffiss Local Development Corporation under the FY06 Transportation, Treasury, HUD Appropriations Act. The federal funds will go to the development of a technology office complex to support the real estate needs of the information security and research efforts on going at the Griffiss Park. The bill must now be approved by the full Senate before being sent to a House and Senate Conference Committee, then eventually being signed into law. Schumer had aggressively lobbied members of the Appropriations Committee to include funding for the project in this year's spending bill.
"This is great news for Rome and the entire Mohawk Valley," Schumer said. "We need to make sure Griffiss has the capacity they need to accommodate growth as they attract new companies, new jobs, and new energy to the area. This is a major step forward in driving the area's economic development."
The Griffiss Local Development Corporation has seen a strong increase in market demand for class-A office space in the Rome, NY area. Typically, these inquiries emanate from high technology companies in need of relatively short-term leases. The GLDC has leased approximately 118,000 gross square feet of class-A and class-B office space to technology companies in the business of software development in information security. Their target market which is anchored by the Air Force Research Laboratory Rome, as well as the Griffiss Institute for Information Assurance, includes information technology companies, specifically companies that do business with AFRL, DOD, the Office of Homeland Security, and companies involved in preventing identity theft.
These federal funds will help to build a 20,000 to 25,000 gross square foot commercial office shell, including all exterior site work, exterior finishes, windows, roof, landscaping and enough interior systems and finishes to show the property to potential customers and reduce the development time and finance costs of customer-driven requirements (special finishes, power, HVAC, telecommunications, computer networks, security features, vaults, etc.). The shell will be marketed as a fast-track office facility capable of being occupied within 3 months of a tenant's lease commitment. The design will accommodate subdividing to meet demands for office sizes from less than 1,000 SF on up to the entire facility.
Today, the Appropriations Committee included $200,000 for this project in the Transportation, Treasury, HUD spending bill. The bill was passed out of the Appropriations Committee today and now heads to the floor for a vote before the Senate. A vote is expected later this summer, and after final passage a conference committee will reconcile the differences between the House and Senate versions of the Transportation, Treasury, HUD Appropriations Bill before sending it to the President to become law.

I (2009) Performance Evaluation on Effect of Pre-sonication on Nanoparticulates During Wet Nano-milling of Drugs. ICIEA: 2009 4TH IEEE CONFERENCE ON INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS AND APPLICATIONS, VOLS 1-6 .

Nano-sizing of drug particle size has been identified as a potentially effective method to increase solubility and hence drug effectiveness. By nanomilling, stable nano-scale particulates can be prepared which have improved physical properties. Nanoparticulates of poorly water-soluble drugs can be prepared by milling of drugs into nano range and achieve optimal stability condition. In this study, effect of pre-sonication followed by wet grinding was assessed on the particle sizes of griseofulvin and ketoconazole in dispersions containing surfactants. The sizes of drugs particulates were reduced to less than 200nm in size with a Polydispersity Index (PDI) below than 1.0 when pre-sonication and nanomilling were applied consecutively.

If you're expecting something enjoyable along the lines of
then forget it.
is a blaxploitation picture without a solitary trace of funk, an inept horror film whose dime store production values, pathetic acting and clumsy direction can't even manage to be unintentionally funny
it's just smelly-dog-crap-on-the-bottom-of-your-shoe
. Given the inane story's potential for Velveeta-coated goodness I actually felt dissed by the flick when it was finally over.
A young African-American PhD, Dr. Winifred Walker (Ivory Stone)
, arrives at the southern California mansion of her former university mentor, Dr. Stein (John Hart), to become his research assistant. The main reason she took the position was to be near her boyfriend, Eddie (Joe De Sue), who's just come home from the Vietnam War minus his arms and legs from a land mine explosion. Winifred hopes that Dr. Stein, winner of the prestigious Nobel
Prize for (ahem) Medicine, can help rehabilitate Eddie with some kind of experimental therapy — conveniently he's the world's leading authority on DNA research
limb transplantation. Stein accompanies Winifred to the veteran's hospital where Eddie is a patient and, after visiting with him, has the wounded man moved to the mansion to begin treatment.
With some injections of "DNA formula" and the attachment of spare pairs of limbs
it's never mentioned where Stein got 'em
— Eddie makes remarkable progress. Before you know it he's able to embrace Winifred with his new arms as the couple plans their future together. This potentially happy ending isn't appreciated by Malcolm (Roosevelt Jackson), Stein's odd-voiced, stiffly formal servant
. Malcolm, it seems, fell in love with the winsome Winifred the moment she arrived at the mansion. After she rejects his clumsy advances, the vengeful Malcolm decides to get even by switching Eddie's DNA formula with another solution. Winifred and Stein are puzzled about the sudden reversal of Eddie's progress, especially as his head begins taking on a pronounced square shape. Unknown to them, at night Eddie takes his new legs for a long and
slow stroll away from the mansion, somehow making it all the way to the veteran's hospital where he rips the arm off an orderly who cruelly tormented him during his stay there. Morphed by the wrong formula into a poor man's image of the Frankenstein Monster, Eddie continues his nocturnal killing spree by strangling and ripping the guts out of anyone he encounters. (The gore footage is so lame and phony-looking that I can't assign a 'Blood 'n' Guts' icon to this review.) The unlucky sap can't help it, of course; it's all Malcolm's fault. The conniving servant ultimately pays for his crime but Eddie, too, will have to be destroyed in the end.
is a real endurance test, one which I readily failed. I actually turned the movie off for a few hours and otherwise occupied myself before returning for the second half, something that is definitely not my policy to do. (After all, I made it through
Mesa of Lost Women
Lust for Frankenstein
in single sittings.) The movie
be funny, at the very least unintentionally so; instead it just lays there like Eddie before receiving his limb transplants. When the film finally becomes ambulatory it still creeps along like molasses in January... In one scene our titular monster takes
one minute and fifteen seconds
to simply cross a room, a cinematic moment that seems to last an eternity. (When your monster makes Kharis the Mummy look like the Roadrunner in comparison, you might as well hang it up.) Two-thirds the way through, the film decides to take a break by switching to a nightclub where we get two wretchedly unfunny jokes from a charisma-free M.C. (
"A man walks into a bar with a dog..."
) and a blues number from a singer. Had Dolemite been performing there instead, the movie might at least have had five minutes of watchable footage.
In terms of aural/visual quality the
disc is a disappointment. Apparently taken from a worn VHS dupe, the full-screen transfer is quite grainy and damaged. Many scenes are almost too dark to tell what's going on. Dialog is understandable but the audio track is plagued by omnipresent static.
A slate of six trailers is the disc's only bonus feature: for the
The Human Tornado
; contemporary urban crime dramas
Durdy Game
; 'mondo' reality film
, about white rednecks; and the documentaries

This pillow case is so much fun to make - use fabrics you already have on hand or buy coordinating fabrics. You will need four different fabrics. This example features Northcott's Zoology Flannels.
Zoology Pillow Case
Side 1
Zoology Border Print 10" wide by 21 ½" long
Zoology Stripe 21 ½" wide x 20 ½" long
Side 2
Zoology Black Block Print 13 ½" wide x 21 ½" long
Zoology Black Print Cut 3 - 5" wide x 43" long (width of fabric)
Sub Cut 1 - 5" strip in half to make 2 strips 5" x 21 1/2"
Sew all seams ½ inch wide.
Side 1
Sew bottom edge of border print to long edge of stripe fabric - right sides together.
Press seams toward border print side.
Side 2
Sew long edge of black print fabric to each long side of block print fabric (1 and 2). Right sides together. Press seams toward black print. Next sew long edge of black border print to each end of block print (3 and 4). Press seams toward end.
Place Side 1 and Side 2 right sides together on a flat surface and pin together on the end where the two black fabrics are together. Sew a seam from the edge toward the center 3 ½ inches on both sides leaving a 14" opening in the middle. Press seam open. After pressing, lay flat on table and insert zipper. After inserting the zipper, lay flat with right sides together. Pin and sew side seams and bottom.
Turn right side out through the zipper opening. Put pillow in the case through the zipper opening.
When making this pillow it is nice to add top stitching or a fancy stitch to seams on each side before sewing them together.
After completing the pillow case before turning right side out - serging all around will reinforce the seams and prevent fraying when washing.

|Sharing My Room With Sis 10: Abby's Fear
|I love how you don't fully make it all about sex. The way you express their feelings for one another is amazing. I love stories with emotion, sex, and a plot line. I read this whole series and its safe to say I have came over and over again reading this. I have never been so turned on in my life, thanks to you. Your an amazing author and you have inspired me to post my own stories. If you decide to continue this series please notify me so i can keep reading on, and if you choose not to continue the series. Create a new one. Even a better one if thats possible.
I have a few ideas you could put into the series if you continue it.
1. Have Abby try out the dog.
2. Have Abby get analized by her brother
3. Have Izzy and Abby go at it, then have Abby's brother walk in on them and join; Hence: A threesome.
4. Have a story of them grown up, into fully dangerous bondage sex.
5. Have their mother go on a trip for a while, leaving them alone for a week or two.
Take those into suggestio

The original Toshiba Thrive was quietly one of the most sound Android tablets in the market and before they get to their new Excite tablet, they are pushing out a smaller version of their current platform to the market. The specs are mostly the same as its bigger brother; Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 16 and 32GB memory options and like its predecessor, full sized USB and HDMI ports.
It will run Android Honeycomb 3.2 which is optimized for smaller tablets and Toshiba does not have a custom skin that they like to slap onto these slates so it will be a full Google experience. Pricing is yet to be announced, but I have to say I am still 'Excited' for their next tablet. This will be a fairly decent tablet in the lower range of price, does this interest anyone?

Christina Ricci is engaged to her actor boyfriend James Heerdegen.
The former Addams Family actress has been spotted wearing what looks like an engagement ring in recent months but has only just confirmed that the couple are set to wed.
When asked by Us Weekly about the rumours, she said: "Yeah. We got engaged a couple months back."
Smurfs 2 star Christina, 32, got together with James early last year after they met on her TV show Pan Am, which he worked on as a dolly grip.
The actress was previously engaged to The House Bunny actor Owen Benjamin after they met on the set of the film All's Faire In Love, but the couple split up in 2009. She was later linked to photographer Curtis Buchanan.
