Launch of two new Galileo satellites
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Launch of Galileo satellites
Brussels, 22 August 2014
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today's launch of two new Galileo satellites from Kourou, in French Guiana, is another milestone in the history of the programme.
Four satellites are already in orbit and the system's operation has been validated. The two additional satellites, based on a new design, are the first of a new phase, leading to the full deployment of the constellation.
These two satellites are also the first that the EU fully owns. This strengthens the EU's position in the space domain.
I would like to thank the EU's space industry, OHB and Arianespace, as well as the European Space Agency and my services in the European Commission, for today's achievement.
Difficulties had to be overcome. This may happen in large-scale programmes. What matters is our collective capacity and determination to solve problems that may arise. And these capacity and determination have been proven.
With two additional satellites in orbit, Galileo is moving closer to the provision of early services in the course of next year. This will be to the benefit of EU companies, international partners and also European citizens.
A second launch is planned in 2014 and in 2015 additional satellites will be placed into orbit.
The EU's space programmes are strategic for our technological and scientific competitiveness. This is why the EU has decided to invest 12 billion euro in space activities over the period 2014-2020.
This is also why the Commission recently invested five hundred million euro to secure the use of three European "Ariane 5" launchers for the future Galileo satellites. A good news for the autonomous access of Europe to space.
Today, the EU is turning our huge investment in space into concrete results. I am convinced that we are moving forward in the right direction.News Source : Launch of two new Galileo satellites

November 28, 2014
DENVER (AP) - A group of Democrats fed up with the slow pace of the U.S. Senate are headed to Denver to rally for new rules to speed things up the 112th Congress.
Democratic activists want to see the Senate adopt rule changes suggested by Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet of Colorado and Tom Udall of New Mexico.
The two Senators want to eliminate the practice known as a "hold" in which a single Senator can secretly prevent action on legislation or nominees.
They also want to alter the 60-vote requirement to end Senate filibusters. The Senate could take up rule changes on Wednesday.
The two Senators won't be at the rally because they're due in Washington. Other Democrats will call on the Senate to adopt their changes.

When a band releases their latest album in a Linux kernel module format, there should be little doubt that they're probably a little geeky. But with netcat, the hints only begin there. Take for example their name: netcat is a popular Unix-based networking command-line tool. And then there's the album name, Cycles Per Instruction. Oh – and their site is in plain text.
The band's set up a GitHub repo where the album can be downloaded, and it's accompanied by information on how to build the module, and how it was created:
This repository contains the album's track data in source files, that (for complexity's sake) came from .ogg files that were encoded from .wav files that were created from .mp3 files that were encoded from the mastered .wav files which were generated from ProTools final mix .wav files that were created from 24-track analog tape.
I'm not sure I understand the reason the files were encoded from format to format multiple times, but this is a band that released their album as a kernel module – who am I to question their methods?
If a kernel module album strikes you as being a little hipster, you might be intrigued to know that the band also offers the album on cassette. For more traditional music listeners, digital versions are available at the band's Bandcamp page.

Fitness Gear 1.5 lb Comfort Wrist Weights - Pair 3 3
Check strap alignmemt I had a set & one of two had a metal square that kept the wrist strap pinched, creating a painful fit. I opened the boxes to make sure my replacement didn't have similar problems. Later after quickly accommodating the weight, I upgraded both wrist & ankle weights to the heavier lime ones. Added these to a fanny pack, then bought purple weighted vest. All eligible for relieving osteopathic & osteoartritis- great results! October 10, 2014
Great little weights! These wrist weighs stay in place. They have thumb holes, a long strap to wrap around the wrist and a medal loop to keep the tension tight. July 23, 2014
Not 3 pounds each I have the orange weights that say 1.5, I wanted something heavier, so I bought these that say 3lbs. I received them and they are 2 1.5lbs just like the orange ones. I will take back and get the 5. These weights are great for aerobics and Zumba. Only giving a 4 because of the confusion of the weight. Very good quality. March 23, 2013

text: Bell resigns as Mercedes technical director 14 April, 2014 Bob Bell Bob Bell has resigned as technical director of the championship-leading Mercedes Formula One team, with Executive Director Paddy Lowe taking on his duties. Mercedes said in a statement on Monday that Bell had resigned his position last December and would leave the team in November this year to pursue "new challenges outside the company". Bell had been Technical Director since April 2011. Mercedes said that Lowe, who runs the team with fellow Executive Director Toto Wolff after the departure of Principal Ross Brawn at the end of last year, would assume Bell's responsibilities without the role of technical director being directly replaced. Lowe joined Mercedes from McLaren in June last year. Mercedes have started the season in dominant fashion, winning the first three races with Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. (Reuters) Subbed by AJN.

Teacher cites fear of kids in lawsuit
Updated On: Jan 15 2013 02:27:23 PM EST
A teacher in Ohio is suing her school district, claiming she was discriminated against because of her fear of young children.
That's right. A teacher who is scared of kids.
Maria C. Waltherr-Willard taught French and Spanish to high school students in the Mariemont school district for 35 years before she was reassigned to a middle school in 2009, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
She claims the reassignment was crafted as a way to get her out of the school district.
Waltherr-Willard, 61, has been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and a history of hypertension, with a specific phobia of severe anxiety around young children, ABC News reported.
In the lawsuit, she claims the school district knew of her phobia and had received medical documentation of her need to remain teaching at the high school level.
Waltherr-Willard stuck it out for a while, but eventually retired at age 59 in June 2011. She filed the lawsuit last year.
Waltherr-Willard is seeking past and future pay, compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorneys' fees.
The school district has declined to comment.

US says it can be `willing partner' with IranAugust 4, 2013 @ 6:50 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says it hopes Iran's new president will "heed the will" of the voters and make choices that will "lead to a better life" for Iranians.
Hasan Rouhani (hah-SAHN' roh-HAH'-nee) took the oath of office on Sunday.
White House press secretary Jay Carney says in a statement that Rouhani's inauguration gives Iran a chance "to act quickly" to address international concerns about the country's disputed nuclear program.
The U.S. and its allies contend that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, but Tehran denies that.
The White House says Rouhani will find "a willing partner" in the U.S. if his government decides "to engage substantively and seriously" in honoring its international obligations and works toward a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue.

page 2 - A Cadillac Not Yet Old
Comfort trumps virtually all else with Egan's latest daily driver. Hint: Northstar.
By July 14, 2011
Next came test drives in VW Jetta and Golf TDIs. I'm a great admirer of turbodiesel technology and I like the looks and feel of these cars. And the mileage. But the seats didn't do much for my peculiar low back and old dirt-bike leg injury problems. Cross-country trips might be a challenge.
But I may have just been inventing excuses here, because, quite frankly, I was once again slowly and mysteriously slipping into the mood for what I like to think of as a "Bluesmobile"to steal a term from Jake and Elwood. This is any car that answers the eternal question, "What would Chuck Berry or Muddy Waters drive?"
A large American luxury car, that's what, with leather upholstery, four doors, large back seats for your friends and plenty of room in the trunk for a Fender Super Reverb amp and a Gibson ES335. And a bunch of suitcases filled with snazzy clothes. Not that I have any snazzy clothes. But I do have the amp and guitar. Maybe I needed another Cadillac.
I've owned and restored two older Cadillacsa 1953 Fleetwood and a 1963 Model 62 Sedanand loved both of them for their style, grace on the road and deep build quality. But I'd never owned a modern Cadillac.
My friend Lew had, though, and we'd done many long trips in his 2004 DeVille, searching out the old cars and motorcycles to which we are both addicted. Any time we'd head down to, say, southern Illinois, to look at an old Hudson or MG for sale, I'd ask Lew, "Do you want me to drive?" and he'd just chuckle and reply, "Nah, let's take my Cadillac and ride in comfort."
To which I would always acquiesce without a murmur of complaint.
A full-size Cadillac is simply a wonderful car for covering ground in North America. It's also a great car for taking two couples to a Friday night fish fry at a distant roadhouse here in Wisconsina tradition that accounts for about half our annual mileage. It's what I call a "large radius car." You don't mind going anywhere, and the farther the better.
So I stopped by Bergstrom Cadillac andlo and beholdthey had a silver 2007 DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan) with Platinum Gray leather upholstery, heated 97-way adjustable seats, a superb sound system and only 19,000 miles on the odometer. It looked, drove and smelled like a brand-new car, and had a 2-year bumper-to-bumper Certified Warranty.
I took Barb for a ride, and she liked it so much I thought I detected tears of relief in her eyes. This might have been a delayed reaction to our cross-country Bugeye trip 25 years ago when we dropped a cylinder in Needles when it was 115 degrees at midnight. In any case, she said, "We have to get this thing."
Strangely enough, on the very weekend that I was negotiating to buy the DTS, a gentleman named Joe Piess called. Joe is the fellow who bought my coffee-colored 1963 Cadillac some 15 years ago, and now he wanted to sell it.
Oh, boy. This is a car I took on a road trip to New Orleans, winding my way through the Mississippi Delta Blues country in 1996. It was a beautiful car.
Still is. Joe had taken good care of it.
We took the Caddy for a drive, and it was as magnificent as ever, a great sweeping comet with tailfins going down the highway. But I knew it was also getting about 13 mpg, and the air conditioning didn't work. An old Caddy is many things, I concluded, but it's not really a daily driver in the year 2011. I decided right then and there to upgrade to the 21st century and buy the 2007 DTS. Chuck and Muddy, after all, didn't drive old Cadillacs; they got the newest ones they could afford.
I've put about 2000 miles on the DTS now, and I love driving it. The interior is simple, yet elegant and beautifully finished. It steers nicely and is remarkably composed and refined for such a grand, comfortable car. Brake feel is...so so. It's no Lotus Elise, but then the Elise is no DTS. And that's a good thing, in both cases. I'm averaging about 23 mpg in daily driving around home (same as our CR-V and erstwhile Mustang), but getting 2527 mpg on highway trips. Acceleration is effortless, shifting seamless and the Northstar V-8's exhaust note has a nice subdued growl.
This weekend, Lew and Pat Donnelly and I are heading down into Illinois to watch a famous motorcycle race called the Springfield Mile.
When we discussed who should drive, I said, "Let's take my Cadillac and ride in comfort."
Lew and Pat, I noted, acquiesced without a murmur of complaint.

text: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sam Brownback Sam Brownback Sam Brownback Personal life Sam Brownback was born in Parker, Kansas to Nancy and Robert Brownback.[2] He was raised in a farming family in Parker, Kansas; his ancestors settled in Kansas after leaving Pennsylvania following the Civil War.[3] Brownback was state president of Future Farmers of America, and was its national vice president from 1976 to 1977.[4] While at Kansas State University, he was elected student body president and was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho.[5] He received his J.D. from the University of Kansas in 1982. After college, Brownback spent approximately a year working as a broadcaster; he hosted a weekly half-hour show.[3][6] He is married to the former Mary Stauffer, whose family owned and sold a successful media company in 1995.[7] They have five children, including an adopted son and daughter. One of his daughters, Jenna, was adopted from China when she was two years old. United States Senator from Kansas Incumbent Assumed office November 7, 1996 Serving with Pat Roberts Preceded by Sheila Frahm Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Kansas's 2nd district In office January 4, 1995 – November 7, 1996 Preceded by Succeeded by Born Jim Slattery Jim Ryun September 12, 1956 (1956-09-12) Parker, Kansas Republican Mary Brownback Topeka, Kansas Kansas State University University of Kansas attorney, farmer Roman Catholic Religious views Play sound Senator Sam Brownback to David Shankbone on religion in America.ogg Senator Brownback discusses science and religion in American politics in October 2007, during his Presidential run. A full transcript is found here. Brownback told Rolling Stone that he had moved from mainline Protestantism to evangelicalism before his 2002 conversion to Catholicism, and that in 1994 he became involved with The Fellowship, a conservative Christian U.S. political organization. Raised as a Methodist, Brownback later joined a nondenominational evangelical church, Topeka Bible Church, which he still regularly attends, even though in 2002, he converted to Catholicism. He joined the Church through Opus Dei priest Father C. John McCloskey in Washington DC.[8][9] Brownback himself, however, is not a member of the Opus Dei organization.[10] Political party Spouse Residence Alma mater Occupation Religion Signature Samuel Dale Brownback (born September 12, 1956) is the senior United States Senator from the U.S. state of Kansas. During 2007, he was a candidate in the Republican primaries for the 2008 Presidential election. He has announced that he will not seek re-election to the Senate in 2010, and is expected to run for Governor of Kansas in the 2010 election.[1] 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Brownback was a cosponsor of the Constitution Restoration Act, which would have limited the power of federal courts to rule on church/state issues. Brownback told Rolling Stone that he chairs the Senate Values Action Team, an off-the-record weekly meeting of representatives from religious conservative organizations. Sam Brownback with his support of term limits for members of Congress.[11] It has been rumored that Brownback may run for Governor of Kansas in the 2010 elections.[12] In 2000, Brownback and Congressman Chris Smith led the effort to enact the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA).[13] President Clinton signed the legislation in October 2000. According to Christianity Today, the stronger enforcement increased the number of U.S. federal trafficking cases eightfold in the five years after enactment.[14] In 2001 Brownback submitted S.1465[107], which authorized Presidential waivers for foreign aid to Pakistan. S.1465[107] passed by a unanimous unrecorded vote of Senators present. The Pakistani Government utilized the U.S. Foreign Aide, when received from the U.S. Government, in an attempt to bribe Mujahideen and Taliban Militants inside that country. Taliban Commanders and Mujahideen Commander Nek Mohammed openly admitted that they intended to use the foreign aid money to repay loans, which they had received from al Qaeda. As of August 12, 2007, in the 110th Session of Congress, Brownback has missed 123 votes due to campaigning (39.7 percent) — surpassed only by Tim Johnson (D) of South Dakota who due to a critical illness has missed 100% of the votes of the 110th Session, and John McCain (R) of Arizona with 149 votes missed due to campaigning (48.1 percent).[15] As of 8-18-2008, Brownback has an approval rating of 56 percent, with 35 percent disapproving.[16] Early career Brownback was an attorney in Manhattan, Kansas[3] before becoming the Kansas secretary of agriculture in 1986. In 1990, he was accepted into the White House Fellow program and detailed to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative from 1990 to 1991. Brownback then returned to Kansas to resume his position as secretary of agriculture and remained in that position until 1993. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1994, and next ran in the 1996 special election to replace Senator Bob Dole, who had resigned his seat during his presidential campaign, beating appointed Republican Sheila Frahm. Senate career Sheila Frahm was appointed to fill the seat of U.S. Senator Bob Dole when Dole resigned in 1996 to campaign for president. Brownback defeated Frahm in the 1996 Republican primary and went on to win the general election against Democrat Jill Docking. In 1998 Brownback was elected to a full six-year term, defeating Democrat Paul Feleciano. He won reelection in the 2004 Senate election with 69% of the vote, defeating his Democratic challenger, Lee Jones, a former Washington, D.C. lobbyist. Brownback is a member of the Judiciary Committee, the Senate Appropriations Committee (where he chaired the Subcommittee on District of Columbia when the Republicans were in the majority), the Joint Economic Committee, and the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the Helsinki Commission. He is the current Chairman of the Helsinki Commission, which monitors compliance with international agreements reached in cooperation with Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Brownback has announced that he would not run for reelection in 2010, in accordance Committee assignments • • Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies (Ranking Member) • Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies • Subcommittee on Homeland Security • Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies • Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia • Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies • • Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security • Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet • Subcommittee on Competitiveness, Innovation, and Export Promotion • Subcommittee on Surface Transportation and Merchant Marine Infrastructure, Safety, and Security • • Subcommittee on Energy • Subcommittee on National Parks • Subcommittee on Water and Power (Ranking Member) • • • Sam Brownback Immigration Brownback is a controversial figure within Republican circles because his position on immigration is often in conflict with his conservative base. Brownback has a voting record tending toward higher immigration levels[21] and strong refugee protection. Brownback was cosponsor of a 2005 bill of Ted Kennedy and John McCain's which would have created a legal path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already present.[22] He has been criticized by Tom Tancredo for his support for Kennedy and McCain's latest immigration reform bill. Tancredo called him "an extreme opponent of getting tough on illegal immigration."[23] Brownback responded that politicians "must protect our borders, enforce the law, provide legal means for people to work in the United States, and fix a broken system."[23] On June 26, 2007, Brownback voted in favor of S. 1639, the Bush-Kennedy Immigration Amnesty Act of 2007 (officially "A bill to provide for comprehensive immigration reform and for other purposes.").[24][25] Brownback supports increasing numbers of legal immigrants, building a fence on Mexican border, and the reform bill "if enforced." While he initially voted yes on giving guest workers a path to citizenship,[26] he later switched his vote on cloture, voting "Nay" on June 28, 2007, after previously voting for cloture.[27] Brownback has said that he supports immigration reform because the Bible says to welcome the stranger.[28] Positions Health care In 2007, Senators Brownback and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) sponsored an amendment to the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007. The amendment created a prize as an incentive for companies to invest in new drugs and vaccines for neglected tropical diseases. It awards a transferable "Priority Review Voucher" to any company that obtains approval for a treatment for a neglected tropical disease. This provision adds to the market-based incentives available for the development of new medicines for developing world diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and African sleeping sickness. The prize was initially proposed by Duke University faculty Henry Grabowski, Jeffrey Moe, and David Ridley in their 2006 Health Affairs paper: "Developing Drugs for Developing Countries."[17] Brownback supports a bill that will introduce price transparency to the U.S. health care industry,[18] as well as a bill which would require the disclosure of Medicare payment rate information.[19] On December 16, 2006, Brownback gave an interview to the Christian Post, stating: "We can get to this goal of eliminating deaths by cancer in 10 years."[20] Tax reform In December 2005, Brownback advocated using Washington, DC as a "laboratory" for a flat tax. He stated, "that making D.C. a test case would, with limited potential for negative impact, provide valuable data about the effects of a flat tax that would prove helpful in determining whether it should be applied nationwide."[29] Some residents of the District believe that the proposed system of taxation would seem to only further what many believe to be the District's taxation without representation. DC mayor Anthony A. Williams said "Leaving aside the merits of this proposal, we continue to resist any efforts on the part of any member of Congress to impose rules and regulations on the people of the District."[30] He was rated 100 percent by the US COC, indicating a pro-business voting 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia record. He voted YES on Balanced-budget constitutional amendment, supports reduction of money spending in federal budget and was rated 100 percent by CATO, indicating a pro-free trade voting record. He supports two-year limit on welfare benefits.[26] Sam Brownback funding and voted NO on redeploying troops out of Iraq by July 2007.[26] On June 7, 2007, Brownback voted against the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act of 2007 when that bill came up for a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, on which Brownback sits.[32] (The bill was passed out of the committee by a vote of 11 to 8.)[33] The bill aims to restore habeas corpus rights revoked by the Military Commissions Act of 2006.[34] Iraq Darfur Brownback visited refugee camps in Sudan in 2004 and returned to write a resolution labeling the Darfur conflict as genocide, and has been active on attempting to increase U.S. efforts to resolve the situation short of military intervention.[35] He is an endorser of the Genocide Intervention Network, which called him a "champion of Darfur" in its Darfur scorecard, primarily for his early advocacy of the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act.[36] Brownback posing with U.S. troops in Iraq. Brownback has stated that he opposed Bush's 2007 troop surge in Iraq and the Democratic Party's strategy of timed withdrawal: It does mean that there must be bipartisan agreement for our military commitment on Iraq. We cannot fight a war with the support of only one political party. And it does mean that the parties in Iraq — Sunni, Shi'a and Kurds — must get to a political agreement, to a political equilibrium. I think most people agree that a cut and run strategy does not serve our interest at all, nor those of the world, nor those of the region, nor those of the Iraqi people. So I invite my colleagues, all around, particularly on the other side of the aisle, to indicate what level of commitment they can support.[31] – Senator Sam Brownback, U.S. Senate floor speech, January 16, 2007 In May 2007 Brownback stated, "We have not lost war; we can win by pulling together" He voted YES on authorizing use of military force against Iraq, voted NO on requiring onbudget funding for Iraq, not emergency Israel and the Palestinians In October 2007, Brownback announced his support for a plan designed by Benny Elon, chairman of Israel's rightwing nationalist NU - NRP party.[37] Elon's positions include dismantling the Palestinian National Authority and refusing a two-state solution. Instead, Judea and Samaria will be annexed by Israel in their entirety, despite the fact that their their non-Jewish inhabitants will not gain citizenship in either Israel or a Palestinian state. Instead, they would be granted citizenship in neighbouring Jordan. Elon argues that this would complete the 1948 Palestinian exodus begun in the 1948 war. An article in Forward quotes Elon's spokesman, Uri Bank, as saying about the plan that it "is the completion of the transfer of [the Palestinian] population that began in 1948".[37] Intelligent design In a May 3, 2007 debate among the 10 candidates for the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination, Brownback was one of three who indicated that he did not believe in evolution.[38] Instead, Brownback favors teaching intelligent design in public school science classes via the Teach the Controversy approach: 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There's intelligence involved in the overall of creation. . .I don't think we're really at the point of teaching this in the classroom. I think what we passed in the U.S. Senate in 2002 the Santorum Amendment is really what we should be doing, and that is that you teach the controversy, you teach what is fact is fact, and what is theory is theory, and you move from that proceedings, rather than from teaching some sort of different thought. And this, I really think that's the area we should concentrate on at the present time, is teaching the controversy.[39] – Senator Sam Brownback, Larry King Live, CNN, August 23, 2005'' He has been closely allied to the Discovery Institute, hub of the intelligent design movement, and has argued extensively on their behalf during Discovery Institute intelligent design campaigns such as the Santorum Amendment, Teach the Controversy, and the denial of tenure to Institute Fellow and design proponent Guillermo Gonzalez.[40][41] Sam Brownback conceived through the adopted in vitro process as "snowflake children."[47] The term, as proponents explain, is an extension of the idea that the embryos are "frozen and unique," and in that way are similar to snowflakes.[47] Brownback supports the use of cord blood stem cell research for research and treatment, instead of embryonic stem cells.[26] Death penalty Brownback said in an interview, "I am not a supporter of a death penalty, other than in cases where we cannot protect the society and have other lives at stake."[48] In a speech on the Senate Judiciary Committee, he questioned the current use of the death penalty as potentially incongruent with the notion of a "culture of life", and suggesting for its employment in a more limited fashion.[49] However, he voted YES on making federal death penalty appeals harder and voted NO on maintaining right of habeas corpus in death penalty appeals.[26] These two votes, on the other hand, occurred before his conversion to Catholicism in 2002 — since his conversion, he has echoed Pope John Paul II's remarks against the death penalty. Abortion He is pro-life in all cases, including cases involving rape and incest.[42] Brownback has stated, "I see it as the lead moral issue of our day, just like slavery was the lead moral issue 150 years ago."[43] On May 3, 2007, when asked his opinion of repealing Roe v. Wade, Brownback said, "It would be a glorious day of human liberty and freedom."[44] Brownback also stated he "could support a pro-choice nominee" to the presidency, because "this is a big coalition party."[45] His voting record is rated zero percent by NARAL, since he has voted 100 percent prolife. Brownback has stated that he supports a human life amendment or federal legislation ending abortion. Other issues On September 27, 2006, Brownback introduced a bill called the Truth in Video Game Rating Act (S.3935), which would regulate the rating system of computer and video games. On June 15, 2006, Bush signed into law the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2005 sponsored by Brownback, a former broadcaster himself. The new law stiffens the penalties for each violation of the Act. The Federal Communications Commission will be able to impose fines in the amount of $325,000 for each violation by each station that violates decency standards. The legislation raises the fine by tenfold.[50][51] " Where I " think we're really lost is we're segregating science and faith. And they ask and answer different Stem cell research Brownback supports adult stem cell research and cord blood stem cells. Brownback appeared with three children adopted from in vitro fertilization clinics to coincide with a Senate debate over the Cord Blood Stem Cell Act of 2005[46] to show his support for the bill and adult stem cell research. The Religious Freedom Coalition refers to children 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia questions. Science asks how, and faith asks why. And I think we'd be so much richer, and in societies in the past in Western civilization they did this a lot more, if you had the interaction of the two, of faith and science. —Sam Brownback, [48] On September 3, 1997, Meredith O'Rourke, an employee of Kansas firm Triad Management Services, was deposed by the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs regarding her activities and observations while providing services for the company relative to fund raising and advertising for Brownback. In her deposition, she states that campaign management for Brownback's campaign had provided Triad with a list of current donors, specifically those who had "maxed out" on the federal contribution limit of $2,100. The deposition claims that Triad circumvented existing campaign finance laws by channeling donations through Triad, and also bypassed the campaign law with Triad running 'issue ads' during Brownback's first campaign for the Senate.[52][53] He has said he does not believe there is an inherent right to privacy in the U.S. Constitution. He has, however, expressed disapproval of George W. Bush's assertions on the legality of the NSA wiretapping program.[54] Brownback voted "yes" on maintaining current gun laws: guns sold without trigger locks. He opposes gun control.[26] He does not believe in evolution and supports the idea of teaching intelligence project theory. He was given a 27% rating by the NEA, supporters of teacher's unions.[26] Brownback is a lead sponsor of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of Sam Brownback 2005 and frequently speaks out against the mail-order bride industry.[55] Brownback introduced into the Senate a resolution (Senate Joint Resolution 4) calling for the United States to apologize for past mistreatment of Native Americans.[56][57] He worked with Congressman John Lewis to help win placement of the African American Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.. Brownback is a supporter of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and voted against the federal expansion of hate crimes to include sexual orientation.[58] He has taken no position on gay adoption.[59] Brownback's voting record on civil rights was rated 20 percent by the ACLU. He voted "yes" on ending special funding for minority and women-owned business and "yes" on recommending a Constitutional ban on flag desecration.[26] He was rated 25% by CURE, indicating anti-rehabilitation crime votes. He voted "yes" on increasing penalties for drug offenses and voted "yes" on more penalties for gun and drug violations.[26] Brownback voted "no" on banning chemical weapons.[26] He voted "yes" on reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act and voted "yes" on extending the PATRIOT Act's wiretap provision.[26] In May 2007, Brownback stated that "Iran is the lead sponsor of terrorism around the world." He supports talks with Iran, but no diplomatic relations.[26] Sam Brownback has used in the 20 April 2009, speech in the Senate, the term "Polish concentration camp" during the hearings that determine whether to approve Christopher Hill for the post of U.S. ambassador in Iraq. Brownback used for offensive polish in the wording referring to the speech shown on CBS-TV film about Irena Sendler, who saved during the war in 2500 children from the Warsaw Ghetto. As a result of his words, the film is not understood, or not at all saw it. - It was yesterday evening, a new film made by the group of students from Kansas. They were ladies who passed by the Polish concentration camp, internment camp, or rather, who built the city, such slumsy. Saved some orphans. It was a beautiful story of a terrible situation - literally senator said (quoted by stenogram). During the 90-four students from the school in Kansas have put together with his teacher on the art of theatrical Irenie Sendlerowej, extracting the character from 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia oblivion. Do not save it but only orphans, especially children from families of the Jewish ghetto, entrusted to it by the parents. Brownback referred to the Holocaust, because this week is the 66 anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Compared the extermination of Jews outside the concentration camps in North Korea since interrogated before the Board Christopher Hill was until recently the U.S. government's special envoy for Korea. Sam Brownback 2008 Presidential campaign On December 4, 2006, Brownback formed an exploratory committee, thus taking the first steps toward candidacy. He announced his Presidential bid as of December 5, 2006 on his website.[63] His expressed views position him in the social conservative wing of the Republican party. He has also stressed his fiscal conservatism. "I am an economic, a fiscal, a social and a compassionate conservative," he said in December 2006.[64] On January 20, 2007, in Topeka, Brownback announced that he was running for President in 2008.[65] On February 22, 2007, a poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports held that three percent of likely primary voters would support Brownback.[66] Brownback's close advisors for his presidential bid, as listed by the Washington Post,[67] are David Kensinger, a political consultant who is a former executive director of GOPAC and former Brownback chief of staff, Rob Wasinger, Brownback's chief of staff in 2005, and Paul Wilson, a media consultant with Wilson Grand Communications. Also listed as "playing a key role" was Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza. Also mentioned as a member of Brownback's exploratory committee was Bowie Kuhn, former Major League Baseball commissioner, before his death on March 15, 2007.[68] A conservative Catholic, Brownback enjoys support among the religious right, and focuses his campaign towards this element of society. However, a scandal broke in August 2007 when Pastor Tim Rude, working for the Huckabee campaign, attempted to undermine support from Evangelical Christians with anti-Catholic comments. Rude sent an email to two evangelical supporters to emphasize that Huckabee was "one of us."[69][70][71][72] On August 11, 2007, Brownback finished third in the Ames Iowa straw poll with 15.3 percent of all votes cast. Fundraising and visits to his website declined dramatically after this event, as many supporters had predicted Brownback would do much better, and speculation began that the candidate was considering withdrawing from the campaign. This sentiment increased after his lackluster performance in the GOP presidential debate of September 5, broadcast from New Hampshire by Fox News Channel.[73] Environmental Record In 2005, the conservative organization Republicans for Environmental Protection ("REP") gave Brownback a grade of 7 percent for the 107th United States Congress, during which he cast what REP qualified as pro-environment votes on one of fifteen critical issues.[60] Senator Brownback only voted proenvironment for an amendment to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, offered by Senator Jeff Bingaman, (D-NM), requiring at least 10 percent of electricity sold by utilities to originate from renewable resources.[60] In 2006, REP gave Brownback a grade of 29 percent for the 109th United States Congress, during which he cast what REP qualified as pro-environment votes on two of seven critical issues. REP criticized Brownback for supporting oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and in "sensitive marine waters" in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, as well as for opposing measures designed to increase "efficiency and renewable-resource programs to improve energy security, lower costs, and reduce energy related environmental impacts."[61] The environmental group League of Conservation Voters rated Brownback at 15 percent for the 109th Congress, citing his lack of support for low-income energy assistance, his lack of support for environmental and natural resources stewardship funding, and his tendency to vote in favor of offshore oil drilling and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.[62] He voted "yes" on reducing funds for roadbuilding in national forests and was rated 0% by the LCV, indicating anti-environment votes according to that organization. He voted NO on including oil and gas smokestacks in mercury regulations.[26] 7 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kansas's 2nd congressional district: 1994 results[81] Year 1994 Democrat John Carlin Votes 71,025 Pct 34% Republican Sam Brownback Sam Brownback Votes 135,725 Pct 66% U.S. Senate elections in Kansas (Class III): Results 1992–2004[81] Year Democrat Votes 1992 Gloria O'Dell 1996 Jill Docking 1998 Paul Feleciano 2004 Lee Jones Pct Republican Votes Pct 3rd Party Party Votes Pct 3rd Party Mark Kirk 349,525 31% Bob Dole * 706,246 63% Christina Independent 45,423 4% CampbellCline 461,344 43% Sam 574,021 54% Donald R.

Smith, Angela Baraquio Grey and Stephen Baldwin.[74] Brownback also won support from fellow Kansas lawmakers Senator Pat Roberts and Rep. Todd Tiahrt.[75] Brownback had stated that if he came in lower than fourth place in the Iowa Caucuses, he would drop out of the Presidential campaign.[76] Brownback dropped out of the 2008 presidential race on October 18, 2007, citing a lack of funds. He also commented that he wouldn't debate immigration in the middle of an election cycle.[77]He formally announced his decision on October 19.[78] He later endorsed John McCain for president.[79] Electoral history * Dole resigned in 1996; Sheila Frahm was appointed to his former seat until a special election could be held in 1996. Brownback then defeated Frahm in the Republican primary and won the general to serve out the remainder of Dole's term.
