Ralph Nader dubs Hillary Clinton 'a menace to the United States'
Ralph Nader dubs Hillary Clinton 'a menace to the United States'Washington Times ^ | October 29, 2014 |
Cheryl K. ChumleyPosted on 10/29/2014, 8:46:13 AM
by Zakeet
Ralph Nader, a former Green Party and Independent Party presidential candidate who frequently serves as a loud critic of federal safety standards, doesn't have much love for presumptive Democratic Party White House candidate Hillary Clinton.
Breitbart ^ | Oct 29,2014 | Breitbart tvPosted on 10/29/2014, 1:32:40 AM by NoLibZoneDonald Trump said that he "never thought it [the Obama administration] was going to be bad" on Tuesday's "Hannity" on the Fox News Channel.
Trump laid out numbers on the economy and then declared "I never thought it was going to be this bad. It's turned out to be a disaster, whether you look at Ebola, with the no quarantine people coming in and it's going to get worse. We sent 4,000 soldiers over to fight [Ebola]."
He also criticized Hillary Clinton for arguing corporations don't create jobs, saying "well, she's going over to the Elizabeth Warren side of things…that's a pretty big statement. Very sad, by the way, very sad statement for the country.
It's not true it's a very sad statement."

Quarantine Barack Obama! Best Idea EverTownhall.com ^ | October 28, 2014 | Rush LimbaughPosted on 10/28/2014, 2:25:57 PM by Kaslin
RUSH: If there was a word, if there was a word that I would attach to the news today, it would be "clarity." Some things are starting to come into focus.
Well, to people like you and me they have been in focus for a long time, but that focus and that clarity is starting to be reflected in the Drive-Bys as they continue to spin for what they now obviously believe is gonna be a pretty big Republican win one week from today.
I know some of you might think, "Hey, Rush, don't be fooled. They're sandbagging."
I don't think so, folks. I think they've given it their best shot and now we're a week out and they have to be focused and concerned with their credibility.CNN poll:
"Voters Are Angry." Seventy percent of Americans are angry at the direction the country's headed. Fifty-three percent disapprove of Obama's job performance. These numbers continue to worsen.
The news on Ebola today, in the Washington Post: "No Unity Over Ebola Monitoring of Travelers." There isn't any unity.
There is no singular policy.
It is an absolute joke, and the reason it's an absolute joke is because of Obama.
You know, I joked yesterday we needed to quarantine Governor Christie. It turns out actually we need to quarantine Barack Obama. And apparently………MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh My: Study Reveals Significant Number of Non-Citizens Vote in US Elections
Oh My: Study Reveals Significant Number of Non-Citizens Vote in US ElectionsTownhall ^ | Oct 27, 2014 | Guy BensonPosted on 10/28/2014, 12:14:35 PM by george76
Electoral cheating is not the "myth" the Left pretends it is…More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote….Because non-citizens tended to favor Democrats Obama won more than 80 percent of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 CCES sample, we find that this participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections.
Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress. Sen. Al Franken D-Minn. won election in 2008 with a victory margin of 312 votes. Votes cast by just 0.65 percent of Minnesota non-citizens could account for this margin.
It is also possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for Obama's 2008 victory in North Carolina. Obama won the state by 14,177 votes, so a turnout by 5.1 percent of North Carolina's adult non-citizens would have provided this victory margin.That's…a really big deal.
Democrats needed every last Senate seat they won in 2008 in order to overcome a GOP filibuster on Obamacare. Without Franken's seat or Mark Begich's ill-gotten seat, the bill would never have passed — as written, or at all.
Previous studies presented serious evidence that Franken's margin in Minnesota was furnished by felons illegally voting; this new data suggests that ineligible non-citizens could have put him over the top.
Pick your poison. Both bodies of evidence, by the way, showed that non-citizens and convicted felons overwhelmingly support Democrats.Excerpt Read more at townhall.com …

It may well prove to be crucial in deciding the tight race to capture the Senate in 2014.As many as one in six of the millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. are registered to vote, and surveys of this group have shown that nearly all of those who do vote will vote "Democrat."Why do the illegals vote this way?
The answer lies in a simple metric that has driven the "Democrat" campaign for a decade, and which the frighteningly unpolitical GOP has never bothered to understand.Excerpt Read more at wnd.com …

This Week @ MHS
As you come back from a long weekend refreshed and ready to take what the city throws at you, why not catch an easy lob and come into the MHS on Wednesday, September 4, for a Brown Bag lunch talk. This installment features Noam Maggor, Vanderbilt University, presenting "Brahmin Capitalism: Bankers, Populists, and the Making of the Modern American Economy." In this project, Mr. Maggor charts the business and politics in the late-19th-century as Boston transformed from an anchor of an industrial region into the second largest banking center in North America. It explores the creation of a wide-ranging network of capital flows which funded railroads, mines, agriculture, and industry across the continent, spurred by a vanguard of financiers from Boston's old elite, and how this process of capital migration, in turn, redefined urban politics on the local level. Far from seamless, this transformation triggered an array of political controversies over the priorities of city government, and more broadly, over the future shape of American capitalism. Brown Bag talks are free and open to the public, beginning at 12:00 PM. So pack a snack and come on in!
The only other thing to note within this week's calendar is the closing of two exhibits currently on display. Saturday, 7 September, will be the last opportunity to view "The Object of History: 18th-Century Treasures from the Massachusetts Historical Society," as well as "The Education of Our Children Is Never out of My Mind." Both exhibits will remain on display for the public, free of charge, from 10:00am to 4:00 PM until Saturday. Keep an eye on the MHS website and calendar to see what will fill the void left by the closure of these two exhibits!

Hall of fame running back Marshall Faulk is right that the New England Patriots 'cheated out' three Super Bowl championships
Originally written on Sports by Colin | Last updated 11/19/14
ST. LOUIS - OCTOBER 13: Running back Marshall Faulk #28 of the St. Louis Rams carries the ball in for a touchdown against the Oakland Raiders in the second half on October 13,2002 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri. The Rams defeated the Raiders 28-13. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
Citing "Spygate" and speaking about the Rams' 20-17 defeat to New England in Super Bowl XXXVI, hall of fame running back Marshall Faulk still feels the Patriots "cheated out" St. Louis of earning a second title. "Am I over the loss? Yeah, I'm over the loss. But I'll never be over being cheated out of the Super Bowl. That's a different story," said Faulk, 39, a seven-time Pro Bowler who amassed 19,154 total yards from scrimmage and 136 touchdowns playing in 176 games as a professional. "I can understand losing a Super Bowl, that's fine. But how things happened and … Continue reading →

Thousands gathered in the small, beachside college community of Isla Vista, near Santa Barbara, California, over the weekend to pray for the six killed and 13 injured as a result of a tragic shooting and stabbing spree that took place Friday night.
More vigils are planned to take place this week, including one candlelight memorial scheduled for the University of California Los Angeles on Monday evening.
The prayer vigil began Saturday at UC Santa Barbara's Storke Tower, with thousands of students and community members silently walking through campus to a nearby park in the small, unincorporated college community of Isla Vista to pray, light candles, and pay their respects to those killed in Friday's attack. more >>
Santa Barbara mass murder suspect Elliot Rodger emailed a 137-page manifesto – with a detailed plan on how he would carry out deadly killings as revenge for rejection by women – to his parents and several others, and stabbed three UCSB students in his apartment before going on a shooting spree, officials said.
Rodger, 22, had a plan to lure anyone into his apartment, not far from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and kill them, but he could not. So he turned to his roommates and stabbed them to death Friday night, according to San Jose Mercury News.
The stabbing victims were identified as Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, of San Jose; George Chen, 19, of San Jose; and Weihan Wang, 20, of Fremont. While Hong and Chen were Rodger's roommates, it was not clear whether Wang was also a roommate or a visitor. more >>
The suspect who killed six people and injured 13 others near the University of California, Santa Barbara Friday night was identified as a 22-year-old mentally disturbed man, Elliot Rodger, who videotaped his desire to "slaughter" women for rejecting him. A church in the area has offered assistance to anyone who needs prayers or counselling.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told reporters Saturday evening that the suspect was wounded by officers before he seemingly "took his own life."
Rodger, whose father was the assistant director for one of the "Hunger Games" films, apparently stabbed three males to death within his residence before going on a shooting spree, Brown said. The suspect killed two female students and a male student, identified as Christopher Michael-Martinez. more >>
Seven people are now dead including the suspected gunman Elliot Rodger, 22, after he went on a bloody 10-minute shooting rampage in the Southern California college town of Isla Vista, which also left seven others injured.
According to The New York Times, the gunman is the son of a Hollywood director identified by CNN as Peter Rodger who directed the 2012 film "Hunger Games." He was discovered dead with a bullet in his head after his black BMW crashed. It is unclear if the bullet was self-inflicted or the result of a shootout with police in Isla Vista near the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Alan Shifman, a lawyer for the gunman's parents, said his clients expressed concern to police about a month ago over their son's YouTube videos "regarding suicide and the killing of people." more >>
A gunman sprayed bullets at people late Friday, killing at least six in a drive-by shooting before being found dead from a gunshot wound in his car near the University of California, Santa Barbara. The county sheriff called it "a planned mass murder" by a "severely mentally disturbed" suspect.
At least seven people, including the suspected shooter, were killed and seven others were injured in nine locations in the town of Isla Vista near the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara at about 9.30 p.m. local time, according to KEYT-TV.
Those wounded were hospitalized either with gunshot wounds or traumatic injuries, and one of them sustained with life-threatening injuries. more >>
Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren and his wife, Kay, are set to receive honorary degrees at Biola University's Spring 2014 Commencement. The late Prison Fellowship Ministries founder, Charles W.

Next month, Cross Way will have extra focus on our growth in giving in 2015. Our growing church requires funding to fulfill its calling and add vitally needed ministry staff. Many of you have heard my personal story and perspective on tithing (giving 10% back to God from the 100% God has given us)... if not, you'll hear next month why my family tithes. As a once skeptic of "churches asking for money" type guy, I once felt awkward asking the people of churches I served to share in the giving work of ministry. I have a very different perspective nowadays. Great ideas require great generosity. Without your generosity, we cannot conduct the missions and ministries God has called us to. You and I ARE God's plan to fulfill God's calling, and our generosity is the only limiting factor in what we are able to do. Life and growth are expensive.
Billy Echols Richter shared the following article with me a while back written by a lay person. It is appropriately titled "Why I Will Always Belong to a Church That Needs Money." I invite you read and reflect. You'll never think the same of what we do.
See you Sunday!
In Christ with you,
Why I Will Always Belong to a Church That Needs Money
by Don Linscott
On July 23, 1970, my wife, Connie, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. For three years, we had tried unsuccessfully to start a family so our joy was great with the arrival of what was to be our only biological child. We later adopted a daughter. Lance was born before it became acceptable for the father to be present in the delivery room. (A fact for which I have ever been grateful!) I waited in the hallway just outside the delivery room. At precisely 4:13 p.m., I heard a sound I will never forget — Lance's first cry. The nurse emerged with a smile and said, "You have a baby boy." I casually responded, "Yes, I know." I had never doubted we would have a son. I could hardly wait to get Connie and Lance out of the hospital and back home so I could get my hands on them.
The wonderful glow of fatherhood was soon dimmed, however, when I was asked to visit the business office of the hospital. They wanted me to pay for Lance! In fact, it seemed to me that my wife and child might be held hostage until the hospital bill was settled. I wrote the check paying all the expenses in full, freed my family, and we made our escape. That check turned out to be only the first of hundreds, maybe thousands, I would write on Lance's behalf.
Children are expensive. There was formula and food to buy. Doctor visits and vaccinations assaulted my banking account. Diapers and toys took their toll. And clothes were a constant drain. Just about the time we built a great wardrobe for the kid, he would grow, forcing us to start all over again. As his age and size increased, so did the expenses. Soon, it was baseball gloves, Nike shoes, and uniforms. There were glasses for his eyes and braces for his teeth. And then, disaster struck. Lance became a teenager! Now it was cars and dates and name-brand clothes. Then came college. Lance had always, and only, wanted to be an architect. It seemed to me he would be in school until he was 42 years old. Expenses soared! Tuition, books, and drawing tools led the long list of essential expenditures. But, of course, just like parents everywhere, we were happy to be able to help him and we did all we could to support his growth and his dreams.
And then, one day, Lance died.
On Halloween Day 1991, we buried 21-year-old Lance in our church's country cemetery. That afternoon, we walked away from his grave and since that day, we have never spent another nickel on Lance. That's how I learned it. Death is cheap. Death can be sustained without expense. It is living that is costly. It is growth that is expensive. Our dreams, visions, and hopes require sacrifice. Death doesn't! That's why I will always belong to a church that needs money. A living, growing, thriving church will always require the continual, consistent, and conscientious financial support of its members.

Can you salt pork the same way you salt beef steak or a roast before cooking?
When I cook roast beef and steaks I salt them with a lot of sea salt and then let them sit on the counter for a little over an hour.
Can you do this with a pork roast? Will it have the same affect?
Also some simple instructions for cooking a pork roast in the oven would be helpful, thanks.
The cut of pork and size of the cut you choose will determine how you cook it, so without knowing what you have/will buy, I cannot answer your question about simple instructions for cooking a pork roast in the oven. I will tell you that I salt pork just the same as I salt beef or other large cuts of meat before roasting.
Could you give us a bit more information, please.
re: Odie77
Odie77, I only know of a beef cross rib roast, not pork, so I won't be of any help to you on this question. However, if it follows the same meat pattern, this is a cut benefitting from a long, slow braise.
If the skin is on you need to score it at abot half inch intervals, just cutting through the skin and some of the fat and not going through to the flesh if possible (not always easy). salt the scored skin liberally, leave for about 10 minutes to draw out some moisture, and then wipe with kitchen paper. Repeat a couple of times. This partial drying out of the skin produces great crackling and leaves enough salt on the roast for a good flavour. Cook at 400 for 30 minutes per pound, plus 30 minutes, but not in a deep dish as the skin will not crisp. A shallow roasting pan is best. No oil or basting is required.

U.S. reportedly came close nuclear disaster in 1961
In a recently declassified document, reported in a new book, the supervisor of the nuclear-weapons safety department at Sandia National Laboratories said one simple, vulnerable switch prevented nuclear catastrophe on the East Coast.
The Associated Press
LONDON — A U.S. hydrogen bomb nearly detonated on the nation's east coast, with a single switch averting a blast that would have been 260 times more powerful than the device that flattened Hiroshima, a newly published book says.
In a recently declassified document, reported in a new book by Eric Schlosser, the supervisor of the nuclear-weapons safety department at Sandia National Laboratories said that one simple, vulnerable switch prevented nuclear catastrophe.
The Guardian newspaper published the document http://bit.ly/1fi4Y2S on Saturday.
Two hydrogen bombs were accidentally dropped over Goldsboro, N.C., on Jan. 24, 1961, after a B-52 bomber broke up in flight. One of the bombs apparently acted as if it was being armed and fired: Its parachute opened and trigger mechanisms engaged.
Parker Jones at the Sandia National Laboratories analyzed the accident in a document headed: "How I learned to mistrust the H-Bomb."
"The MK39 Mod 2 bomb did not possess adequate safety for the airborne-alert role in the B-52," he wrote. When the B-52 disintegrates in the air, it is likely to release the bombs in "a near normal fashion," he wrote, calling the safety mechanisms to prevent accidental arming "not complex enough."
The document said the bomb had four safety mechanisms, one of which is not effective in the air. When the aircraft broke up, two others were rendered ineffective.
"One simple, dynamo-technology, low-voltage switch stood between the United States and a major catastrophe!" Jones wrote, adding that it could have been "bad news — in spades" if the switch had shorted.
Schlosser discovered the document, written in 1969, through a Freedom of Information Act (FOI) request.
It is featured in his new book on nuclear arms, "Command and Control," which reports that through FOI he discovered that at least 700 "significant" accidents and incidents involving 1,250 nuclear weapons were recorded between 1950 and 1968.

Markets solid despite Fed tapering talkBy PAN PYLAS
THE Associated Press | November 12,2013AP PHOTO
A man walks Monday past an electronic stock board of a securities firm in Tokyo.LONDON Upbeat U.S. economic figures shored up global markets Monday even though there are growing expectations that the Federal Reserve could begin to reduce its monetary stimulus next month.
Shares in the Philippines fell after a devastating typhoon.
Last week, a round of U.S. economic data, including Fridays better-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report, ratcheted up expectations that the Fed will soon start tapering its $85 billion worth of asset purchases.
Some analysts think that the positive response in markets may indicate that the fear of the tapering dominant for much of this year has reduced and investors are now more willing to view strong economic news as a reason to buy stocks.
After all, a growing U.S. economy will help corporate profits.
Equities are not selling off as they have previously, said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari. Maybe the good news is bad news scenario is finally becoming a thing of the past.
Following strong gains in much of Asia outside the typhoon-stricken Philippines, trading in Europe was solid. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.2 percent at 6,722 while Germanys DAX rose the same rate to 9,099.
The CAC-40 in France was 0.3 percent higher at 4,275.
Earlier Monday, in Asia, the focus was on the Philippines after a typhoon devastated the eastern Philippines, killing thousands of people.
Manilas main exchange, the PSE Composite, dropped 1.4 percent to 6,265.23 as the country grappled with the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.
Authorities estimated that up to 10,000 people may have died.
But the government, stunned by the scale of the disaster, has not given an official death toll yet.
Elsewhere, investors were also waiting to see if Chinas communist leaders, who started a four-day meeting in Beijing on Saturday, would announce reform plans to bolster the worlds No. 2 economy as it comes under pressure from industrial overcapacity, high debt and surging house prices.
Chinas Shanghai Composite rebounded from earlier losses to gain 0.2 percent at 2,109.47. Japans Nikkei 225 rose 1.3 percent to 14,269.34 while Hong Kongs Hang Seng rose 1.4 percent to 23,059.98.
However, Seouls Kospi dropped 0.4 percent to 1,977.30 and Australias S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.3 percent to 5,387.10.
Trading was lackluster in other financial markets.
Among currencies, the euro was up 0.3 percent at $1.3395 while the dollar fell 0.1 percent to 99.15 yen.
In commodities, the benchmark New York rate for crude oil was down 30 cents at $94.30 a barrel.MORE IN National / World BusinessLOS ANGELES Its back, and its back on a scale that is well matched to this car-centric city.

BAC: Ken Lewis & Bank of America 7 commentsJun 21, 2009 5:29 PM | about stocks: BACI've really tried to pay attention to this whole Ken Lewis - Bank of America saga. I'm really more confused then ever. I'm not sure what to believe and need your help. Please give me your opinions.1. Ken Lewis is one of the smartest CEOs ever. He has weathered the storm and bought both Country Wide and Merrill Lynch for a song and got the Feds to pay for it all. He should be Time Magazine's Man of the Year.2. Ken Lewis has knowingly lied about everything and has committed securities fraud. Not only is he as bad as Madoff and Stanford but his Ponzi scheme is a lot bigger. Indict and arrest him for fraud.3. Ken Lewis and his Board of Directors have misled the stock holders, the Fed, the SEC, and the press. Because of their lies and deliberate misinformation stockholders have lost billions. Sue them all for every cent they have.4. Ken Lewis is the stupidest CEO ever. Because he was clueless he made and packaged bad loans that destroyed the American economy, bought Country Wide and Merrill Lynch without even the least due diligence. He isn't smart enough to be a teller in one of his bank locations. Fire him without a severance package.5. Ken Lewis? Who cares?Please give me your opinions.

Opinion number three is spot on. I work for their consumer division in the Metro NY Region and the lies and misinformation that we are asked to disiminate to our employees and customers about our "Strenght and stability" is borderline criminal. We are very deceptive with our home, small business, and credit card lending practice, and consistently inflate our sales numbers so that Wall St can view us favorably.
I'm sorry, but no one named Jason Bourne works for BAC, so I would take that opinion for what it's worth. All the options are a bit extreme. In my opinion, his performance lies somewhere between option one and three. His actions may have been questionable during the previous year, but I believe he is the best person to lead BAC out of this recession. The purchases of CHL and Merrill will show their worth during the next few years. You cannot judge these acquisitions on their short term results.
It's up for debate for what to do with Ken Lewis. Authorities can arrest Ken Lewis. Stockholders can sue him. Directors can fire him. He took one of the nation's leading banks and ran it into the ground. He made risky bets with others' money and stuck taxpayers with the tab when his bets went sour.
Do you really expect me to post my real name? or should I post my NBKid or CAI number to prove that I work for BAC.

Go back to the video of the events that led to the bailout of BAC. Ken Lewis was told to take Countrywide and Merrill "or else" in so many words by those making the decisions that evening. He kept his job and BAC got the money to survive. Why was the ultimatum made? That has never been revealed.

Fixes to Obamacare have little impact on Utah
Tony Dejak, Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Changes to the Affordable Care Act proposed by President Barack Obama on Thursday won't likely have too much of an effect in Utah, as preemptive decisions by state lawmakers already grandfathered certain plans through the end of next year.
However, Obama's one-year extension of current policies may impact about 3 to 7 percent of Utahns who still have options, according to Jason Stevenson, education and communications director for the Utah Health Policy Project advocacy group.
He said people looking for new plans can use the federal health insurance marketplace (healthcare.gov) to shop for a new plan and determine their eligibility for financial assistance. In the meantime, those who have received cancellation notices can purchase short-term, monthly insurance coverage "to give you extra time," Stevenson said.
Holding the entire Affordable Care Act responsible for recent glitches and hold-ups, he said, is unfair.
"It hasn't been working well and it really has been hurting our ability to enroll people here in Utah, but it is not the entire game out there," Stevenson said. "There's a lot happening in the insurance marketplace in Utah and across the country where the Affordable Care Act is working."
He said the way the Affordable Care Act has played out so far "mirrors the rollout of many other large government programs."
"There are a still a lot of people in the pipeline to get more affordable, higher quality insurance," Stevenson said, adding that recent negativity doesn't reflect the good things brought about by the relatively new law.
Gov. Gary Herbert said Thursday during his monthly news conference on KUED Ch. 7 that a bipartisan solution to problems with health care reform needs to be found. But he warned that it won't be easy.
"One you lose confidence, once you set a trajectory, it's hard to get that trust back and that confidence," the governor said.
Herbert said the president has an opportunity to bring Republicans and Democrats together because "everyone seems to agree there are fixes that need to be made."
The governor also called the rollout of the health care law "an abysmal failure" and said it is hurting the economy.
"Clearly the biggest problem I see is with the economic impact. The uncertainty of what the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, is doing to the private sector is a big concern," Herbert said.
That uncertainty, he said, is "having a significant negative impact on the marketplace. I think we all — any rational person — says this rollout has been an abysmal failure."
Herbert also said he is still considering whether to expand Medicaid coverage in Utah, an option under the Affordable Care Act. He said he expects to make a decision before the start of the 2014 Legislature in late January.
"It's a very complex issue. It's easy for people to have a knee-jerk, do this or do that, or don't do this or don't do that, without understanding all the ramifications or complications," the governor said in a brief interview.
He dismissed a call by Utah's Family Investment Coalition for his upcoming state budget to include two scenarios, reflecting the projected costs and savings for both accepting the expansion and its accompanying federal matching funds, and not expanding Medicaid in Utah.
Herbert said his budget, expected to be released in December, "has no bearing on Medicaid expansion." He said he has no ability to propose two budgets for the state.

Close her up!
by Sue O'Neil
posted Oct 20 2011 9:09AM
Yup! Closing up the yard this weekend-no matter what! Week before last when it was gorgeous, I couldn't bring myself to do it...My stuff still looked great and I just didn't have the heart to pull the stuff out. I have to do it this weekend, no matter what! The ponds have to be closed, but I can wait a little bit on that. Its so hard for me, because I know we have a long winter in front of us...So lets concentrate on the good part of this...1. I won't have to mow. 2. I won't have to weed. 3. I won't have to water. 4. No sweating (unless working out.) 5. Cute sweaters come out! 6. Boots! High heeled black boots! Yes! 7. Skiing. 8. Comfort food on Sunday afternoons. 9. Christmas. 10. Naps when its cold.

How NASA Plans to Land Humans on Mars The Planetary Society
On the surface, NASA's humans to Mars plans seem vague and disjointed. For instance, it's difficult to see how visiting a captured asteroid in lunar orbit fits into a bigger picture. But if you combine Gerst's speech with two days of symposium panels and a day of interviews at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the full breadth of what the agency is trying to do begins to makes sense. There is indeed a plan to put humans on Mars. Vague? Yes. Hard to see? Absolutely. But that's because Gerst and NASA are playing the long game. And right now, it may be the only game they can play. There are three big reasons NASA can't lay out a comprehensive Mars plan: flat budgets, a perilous political landscape, and the sheer scale of a 20-plus-years program. Thus far, NASA's most audacious human exploration program kicked off in 1961, when John F. Kennedy declared Americans would walk on the moon by the end of the decade. The nine-year program was a success, but it was bolstered by a strong political mandate and more than double the funding NASA receives today. The agency's budget peaked in 1966 at $43.5 billion (in 2014 dollars). Today, NASA gets about $18 billion. There's not much political will to go to Mars, and no indication that NASA's budget will change significantly. In fact, NASA doesn't even have a fiscal year 2015 budget yet, as it operates under a stopgap continuing resolution.

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin in favor of Mars One's one-way trips to the Red Planet Blastr
With NASA not really lighting the solar system on fire with tangible plans to get humans to Mars, some private spacefaring companies hope to carry us to the Red Planet — and now one of America's most famous astronauts has thrown his support behind one of the most controversial missions. While speaking at a panel for MIT's AeroAstro 100 conference in Massachusetts, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin opened up about his thoughts on future plans to get humans to Mars. Specifically, Aldrin offered his thoughts on Mars One — you know, the one that'd turn the whole thing into a reality TV series — and said he's actually in favor of the one-way mission. Aldrin said he looks at the situation from a simple perspective of cost, noting that we'd likely be better served by making an effort to keep a settlement on the planet after spending so much time, effort and money to get them there. But once we'd established a working base, then consider some return trips if necessary.

Zero-G 3D Printer, Unpacked And Installed on the International Space Station Made In Space
Made In Space, Inc. and NASA have completed the next milestone in the 3D Printing in Zero-Gravity Experiment. This morning, astronaut Barry "Butch" Wilmore unpacked the 3D printer from its launch packaging and installed it inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The 3D printer, designed and built by Made In Space for NASA, was launched on September 21st, 2014 on the SpaceX 4 resupply mission to the ISS. Earlier this morning, astronaut Wilmore proceeded to retrieve the 3D printer experiment from its storage location and installed it inside the MSG. With the aid of the Made In Space and NASA ground support teams, Wilmore was able to power on and complete critical system checks to ensure that the hardware and software was in operating condition.

Lockheed Martin Begins Final Assembly of NASA InSight Lander Business
Lockheed Martin has started the assembly, test and launch operations (ATLO) phase for NASA's InSight Mars lander spacecraft. The InSight mission will record the first-ever measurements of the interior of the red planet, giving scientists unprecedented detail into the evolution of Mars and other terrestrial planets. InSight is scheduled to launch in March 2016. "The InSight mission is a mix of tried-and-true and new-and-exciting. The spacecraft has a lot of heritage from Phoenix and even back to the Viking landers, but the science has never been done before at Mars," said Stu Spath, InSight program manager at Lockheed Martin Space Systems. "Physically, InSight looks very much like the Phoenix lander we built, but most of the electronic components are similar to what is currently flying on the MAVEN spacecraft."

'Get your ass to Mars': Buzz Aldrin wants humans to permanently occupy Mars Yahoo!
The second man to walk on the Moon, Buzz Aldrin, said he wants humans to permanently occupy the planet Mars. Speaking to the BBC, while wearing a "Get Your Ass to Mars" t-shirt, he said funding for space exploration by the US needs to be at least doubled if humans are going to land on Mars by 2035.

Newest NASA Mars Orbiter Demonstrates Relay Prowess
The newest node in NASA's Mars telecommunications network -- a radio aboard the MAVEN orbiter custom-designed for data links with robots on the surface of Mars -- handled a copious 550 megabits during its first relay of real Mars data. MAVEN's Electra UHF radio received the transmission from NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on Nov. 6, using an adaptive data rate as the orbiter passed through the sky over the rover. The data that MAVEN relayed to NASA's Deep Space Network of large dish antennas on Earth included several images of terrain that Curiosity has been examining at the base of Mars' Mount Sharp. The test also included relaying data to Curiosity from Earth via MAVEN.

Seeking to catch up with India's Mangalyaan Mission, China has unveiled its Mars rover being developed to scurry the Red Planet's surface for signs of water and life and plans to test it in the rugged terrain of Tibet. China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) has displayed the machine and the technological hardware set-up at an air show. Photos of the rover's prototype, to be displayed at the annual air show at Zhuai being attended by defence attaches of all countries including India, were carried by the state-run Xinhua news agency.

Mind-blowing Meteor Shower on Mars During Comet Flyby, Say NASA Scientists Universe Today
"Thousands of meteors per hour would have been visible — truly astounding to the human eye." That's Nick Schneider's description of what you and I would have seen standing on Mars during Comet Siding Spring's close flyby last month. "It would have been really mind-blowing," he added. Schneider is instrument lead for MAVEN's Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS). He and a group of scientists who work as lead investigators for instruments on the MAVEN and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft shared the latest results from the comet flyby during a media teleconference earlier today. There were many surprises. Would we expect anything less from a comet?

Skype in the Classroom Teacher takes students on an inter-planetary field trip Skype
Erik McFarland is an 8th grade science teacher and recently took his students on the trip of a lifetime with Skype in the Classroom. Here is his story: I had the wonderful opportunity to do research at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California as part of a program that gave teachers scientific research experience. I have never learned more or met so many fascinating people in such a short period of time. I wanted to give my students a taste of that experience – of what being a scientist is really like. I teach 8th grade science at Tolt Middle School in Carnation, WA. We couldn't take a field trip to California, but we could use Skype, and I was able to use it to give students an experience that wouldn't have been possible even with an in-person visit. As part of our astronomy studies, 207 8th graders were able to tour and talk to three scientists living in a simulated Martain habitat at the University of North Dakota. The scientists were 13 days into their 30 day stay and the students were curious to know how they were holding up psychologically. They also able to ask many questions about traveling to, and living on, Mars.

Will Interstellar inspire a new space race? The Guardian
Stanley Kubrick was right about most things but when it came to 2001: A Space Odyssey, he got it hopelessly wrong. We're now 13 years on from that particular date, so where's our future? Instead of Pan Am flights to the moon we've got the faltering efforts of Virgin Galactic, which suffered another setback with the crash of its test plane last week. Instead of elegant space stations resembling modernist furniture showrooms, we have got the cramped tin cans of the International Space Station. And forget survey missions to Jupiter, Nasa doesn't even have a space shuttle any more. As it is, we are not even on track for the dystopian future of Blade Runner, unless we can knock together some off-world colonies in the next five years. Charlton Heston's Soylent Green is definitely still on, however, being set in 2022 (spoiler alert: we end up having to eat each other). From a space enthusiast's point of view, there is nothing more depressing than the fact that 2001 does not look particularly dated. If you had told those 1960s star children we would be no further out of Earth's orbit nearly half a century later you'd have been laughed out of the cinema, and many of those people, Americans in particular, have never forgiven their governments for not fulfilling their promises. Political and economic pressures and conspicuous accidents, such as the Challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters, have clipped NASA's wings considerably, and the multitude of Earthbound problems have put interplanetary exploration on the back burner. But in terms of a big, public plea for rebooting space travel, Interstellar is the answer to space camp's prayers.

Aerospace Gurus Show Off a Fancy Space Suit Made for Mars Wired
This talk is from WIRED by Design, a two-day live magazine event that celebrated all forms of creative problem solving. The space suits astronauts wear today are marvels of engineering, but they're far from perfect. For one thing, they're unwieldy. At a weight of nearly 300 pounds, astronauts have to expend a huge amount of energy just to move them around. "It was great for 45 years ago, but we can do better," says Dava Newman.

Values have robustly recovered from the recessionary lows of 2009 and 2010. According to GF Data, the average price paid in the most recently completed year (2013) — for private business sale transactions in the $10 million to $250 million range — was 6.7x EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). By way of comparison, multiples reached just 6x for this same size range in the bubble years of 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Values have recovered from the recessionary lows of 2009 and 2010 in all markets, not just the energy sector, said Perkins, who consults on the purchase, sale and valuation of companies. There are several reasons. Equity is abundant, debt is available and cheap, there are plenty of aggressive buyers, and the number of sellers is surprisingly low, Perkins said.
By all accounts, debt financing seems to be amply available and rising in the amount extended for business acquisitions in the United States. Debt financing – for deals completed in the $10 to $250 million transaction value range – rose to 57% in the second quarter of 2014. This is for senior and sub-debt (combined). In recent years, it's been 47% to 50%. Total debt loaned as a multiple of EBITDA – for all transactions in the $10 to $250 million range – averaged 3.9x, up from an average of 3.4x in recent years (2011 through 2013). The balance of any purchase price paid, then, is provided by equity and any seller financing offered.

These product lines include Nightgowns, Pajama Sets, Bathrobes and more. We have a number of traditional and contemporary styles as well as Plus sizes.
Men's SleepwearMen - maybe your considered the hot one? We carry a select line of men's sleepwear by Performance Sleepwear that is designed exclusively for men. Loose fitting, comfortable and wicking - you'll sleep better (and your partner may too).
Cooling Mattress PadsOur mattress pads are manufactured with temperature regulating fabric that actually responds to changes in your skin temperature. As you climb into bed, the pad first begins to absorb your excess heat thereby causing a cooling effect. As you ease into the slumber cloud, the fabric normalizes. During the night as your heat index raises or lowers, the mattress pad responds - helping ensure you sleep comfortably. Should you awaken feeling hot, simply roll as you normally would and the unused fabric will instantly respond - easing you back to sleep.
Cooling & Wicking in One...The unique Feel Cooler® DUO mattress pad not only helps to maintain a steady skin temperature, it also helps to wick away any sweat you may create during the night. Manufactured with the patented Climarelle® fabric and incorporating an outer layer of specially designed and patented wicking fabric, this unique and functional mattress pad leads the way.
All-Seasons BlanketsGone are the days of storing your blankets each summer, only to haul them back out each fall. Our "cooling blankets" are much more than that - use them year round to help keep you just right - not too hot or cold.
Our blankets contain a patented fabric that responds instantly to your skin temperature - absorbing or releasing heat as needed to help you sleep all night long - better, sounder and more comfortable.
Cool SheetsWe know you love the feel of soft and silky sheets and we know you love to sleep cool, dry and comfortable - all night. And now you don't have to pick - you can have both a better nights sleep and a cool dry night. All you need to decide on is the color!
Cool PillowsDo you climb into bed - and flip your pillow to the cool side? Not any more! Our cooling pillows stay cool - manufactured with the same materials as our mattress pads, these pillows absorb and release heat as you sleep - helping to maintain a steady head and neck temperature so you sleep better with less tossing and turning. Don't sleep on a cloud - sleep on a Feel Cooler pillow.
Pillow Covers & CasesDo you have a pillow you love - but it sleeps to hot? We have an answer for you - we carry a complete line of wicking and/or temperature regulating (ie., cooling) pillow cases and covers. You don't have to give up that perfect pillow just to cool down.
More about our products ...
All of our pajamas are made with Moisture Wicking Material and our Bedding is either Cooling (temperature regulating) or Wicking or a combination of the two. So if you are suffering from Night Sweats, Hot Flashes or a restless night we may have the solution for you. Browse our store, find your favorite style and color, and enjoy a better nights sleep!
If you have any questions call our customer service at 800-720-4152 .
Did you know? Feel Cooler® brand Bedding was personally recommended by Dr Oz!
What is meant by "Menopause Sleepwear and Bedding"
The name Menopause Sleepwear or Menopause Bedding refers to products designed for folks who are going through menopause and / or are suffering from night sweats.
Menopause sleepwear is also referred to as Wicking Sleepwear (or bedding) for its wicking abilities. It is based on the same functionality that is used in sports apparel. The material is designed to wick the sweat from your body to the outside of the material so it will evaporate and dry much faster. When you use sweat wicking pajamas and sleepwear you will experience a much dryer and cooler feeling during the night.
Don't fret night sweats - they are very common. With 72 million plus baby boomers, many are women facing the suffering of night sweats during menopause. Many others are men who simply sleep too hot. If this is you, you are not alone! But there is help - our sweat wicking pajamas and bedding, and our temperature regulating bedding will help you with a good nights sleep.

Temples + Drowners

Time Out says
Posted: Wed Feb 5 2014
Analogue fetishists Temples play extremely retro psych-pop, like a drier, more period-authentic Tame Impala, from their Heavenly Records debut album Sun Structures. They're very much on the up, with tips from Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr, so you may as well tune in and turn on now. Drowners, a band from NYC with the Union Jack on its album cover, mix the Strokes with the Arctic Monkeys. Like, exactly just like that. But we're suckers for that tight-jean, boy-romance jangle.

A Catholic education challenges students with high standards for academic achievement, morality and personal growth. Students in Catholic schools are renowned for their academic excellence, and routinely score within the top 1/3 on national standardized tests. At All Saints Catholic School we recognize that parents and family are primary educators and join with us to form a living community of shared values.
Values promoting understanding, compassion, and service to those in need, are an important part of the Catholic school experience. As a faith community, we encourage students to accept others rather than exclude them, and to understand the difference between right and wrong. Students commit themselves to the service of God through service to others.
