Privacy is the antidote to surveillance and if you think about it, the balance of power between citizens and their government has a lot to do with what is seen and unseen.
We want a fig leaf on the government and a fur coat on us but right now, it is obviously the other way around. Privacy is worth protecting and not because we are doing anything wrong (the vast majority of the many millions under suspicion surveillance are ordinary law abiding people!) but because this dragnet that has been cast over us has, and will continue to upset the balance of power that keeps We The People free!
So this show will be focused on privacy issues not because we want to take a bubble bath but because the structure of a free society demands it.
David Slane, David Slane and Associates
Because of my privacy advocacy and Mr. Slanes legal expertise, our paths have often intersected. I am so glad to finally get the opportunity to have a real conversation with him.
David Slane is an Oklahoma Criminal Defense Attorney and native Oklahoman recognized as an expert in the law. He works as the Legal Analyst for several OKC TV Stations and often weighs in on matters regarding privacy and civil liberties. Website for David Slane and Associates
For example, on May 17, Slane publicly raises an important question regarding the mysterious fee increase for Oklahoma driver's licenses – are we funding further implementation of the Federal Real ID Act? (which is prohibited by Oklahoma law) The Dept. of Public Safety was conveniently unable to respond to that question at the time of airing and to date, Oklahoman's still don't know exactly what it is the fee hike is paying for exactly.
Also; Fox 25 Covers Consumer Concerns About Driver's License Scanning, April 7, 2012
And David Slane has also been called upon to address the drone versus privacy issue; Oklahoma Researchers Test Drones That Can Detect Guns, April 8, 2013
And on the topic of Automatic License Plate Readers (one of my favorite technologies to despise!), David Slane says;
"I think it's an invasion of your privacy," said attorney David Slane. "You're driving down the street and they're reading your license plate. Each day we see a new thing happening involving our rights and if we don't stop somewhere, there aren't going to be any rights left."

**Side note: If you follow David on Twitter you will get the benefit of being first in the know regarding many major Oklahoma news stories. (I check his tweets often for that very reason)
Tonight, we will get David's thoughts on the legalities of biometric ID, drones and NSA spying.
Government Spying – yes! We are MAD!
And that emoticon guy doesn't really do our outrage justice.
It's really more like this!
As you can imagine, Howard and I have plenty to say about the recent revelations that the NSA is indeed indescrimaely collecting personal data on millions of Americans. Yes – We are frustrated and angry! This is a good thing. The worst thing would be to feel overwhelmed, intimidated and to fall silent because that is exactly the effect that government surveillance is intended produce. We have to push back now while we still can and we need to be empowered to protect our personal information.
While there is no 100% method to protecting your data, there are some simple changes of habit we can adopt and many tools available that can diminish our vulnerability to government spies and data hoarders.
Donovan Farrow, Alias Forensics
We are excited to introduce Donovan Farrow. Donovan has expertise in the ways of the internet and the secret travels of data, to give us just some of the most basic and essential tips to protect our privacy.
Donovan is the founder and owner of Alias Forensics which is a digital forensic company located in Oklahoma City. Donovan is a computer forensic examiner. That means is plain language, he's the computer whisperer. Donovan can take digital data that would be gobbledy-gook to most of us and translate these data for us. Donovan often takes his knowledge to the courts where he is called upon to ensure the digital data that is being presented in court was collected with integrity and that it is factually correct. He is an interpreter.
I have heard horror stories about people sent up the river for an illegal image or information on their computer that they had no knowledge of. Donovan can find out where the offending information actually came from and how it got there in the first place so the innocent might have a fighting chance. This is probably a shameful oversimplification but hopefully you get the picture.
Be sure to note the call in number below because you will want to take advantage of the opportunity to ask our two expert guests some questions!
After tonight's show, AxXiom For Liberty, will be taking a two moth hiatus –But when we come back we will be giving some real attention to practical solutions to bolster our opacity and increase government and corporate transparency.

About the course
Why School Direct?
School Direct is a training programme for both graduates and career changers, where you can be fully immersed in the life of a teacher from day one. It gives the trainee the chance to work and learn alongside teachers within the full time setting of a school. It is a popular choice for those training to be a teacher who hope to secure a teaching post in the network of schools where they are training.
School Direct courses within the DDS Partnership are designed in partnership with Canterbury Christ Church University based on the skills they are looking for in a newly qualified teacher. We are part of a growing number of schools leading the way for more school-led teacher training. This is really important to us because it means we can choose the very best talent and develop them into teachers. Being able to choose who we train as teachers helps us to deliver the best outcomes for the students.
What will I learn?
By the end of your training course you will:
- Set high standards which inspire, motivate and challenge pupils
- Promote good progress and outcomes by pupils
- Demonstrate good subject and curriculum knowledge
- Plan and teach well-structured lessons
- Adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all pupils
- Make accurate and productive use of assessment
- Manage behaviour effectively to ensure a good and safe learning environment
This course is offered as school direct non salaried (tuition fee)
Interview process
Once you have applied through UCAS applicants will know as to whether they have been successful within 40 school days. If your initial application is of interest, you will have a formal interview at the Partner school that you have applied to. Each school will send you in advance the full details of their individual process. On that day you will be asked to undertake Literacy and Numeracy tests provided by Canterbury Christ Church University (different from the Skills Tests you have done/will do online). You will also be asked to lead part of a lesson - details of the observation year group (including SEN), the topic and focus will be provided in advance. The interview process is not designed to test your abilities to teach now, but on your potential to be trained on the programme.
The interview day is likely to include a tour of the school and meet with departmental staff to give you an idea of the environment you will be working in.
If you would like to visit any of the schools within the partnership prior to submitting an application, we would be happy to organize for you to come in and have a chat with us about the exciting teacher training opportunities available.
We can also provide you with support and guidance on your application form and offer you school experience if you just want a taster of what teaching could be like.
How school placements work
The key feature of this course is that the majority of the year is spent on placement working alongside experienced colleagues in schools. The course aims to harness the knowledge and experience of school colleagues in the delivery of courses, working in partnership with the experience of an accredited ITT provider. Each trainee is allocated a mentor who will support you over the course of the year. They will design a training programme based on your needs, ensuring that you have a broad and varied experience. Each trainee will also spend at least 20 days in a second school within the partnership in order to gain experience of a different setting.
Non-salaried trainees fund training fees themselves, unless the partner school offer to pay. Depending on bursaries and scholarships available, students may find the non-salaried route more financially attractive than a salaried position.
Financial support
You could be eligible for either:
- a scholarship of £22,000
- a bursary of £20,000
With a scholarship or bursary, you'll also get early career payments of £5,000 each in your third and fifth year of teaching (£7,500 in some areas of England).
To qualify for a scholarship you'll need a degree of 2:1 or above in maths or a related subject. For a bursary you'll need a 2:2 or above in any subject.
You can't claim both a bursary and a scholarship - you can only claim one.
Find out how to apply for a scholarship. You don't need to apply for a bursary - if you're eligible, you'll automatically start receiving it once you begin your course. Find out how you'll be paid.
Financial support if you're from outside the UK.
Financial support from the training provider
Your eligibility for financial support, and the amount you can expect to receive, will depend on the subject you choose to teach and your degree classification or highest relevant academic qualification. Any applications for bursaries and Student Finance are the responsibility of the individual trainee.
Bursaries and scholarships are available to trainees on a fee-based teacher training course in England that leads to the award of qualified teacher status.
Availability is dependent on the highest relevant academic award and the ITT subject. To receive a bursary or scholarship trainees must be entitled to support under the Student Finance England criteria.
Applicants with a degree from outside the UK should refer to the equivalency table to see if their degree is likely to attract a bursary, or should consult their chosen training provider.
A Mathematics trainee may be eligible for a bursary of up to £26,000
Graduates with a 2:1 and above, who are passionate about their subject and have the potential to be inspirational teachers can apply for a scholarship of up to £22,000 with the appropriate professional body. As well as the financial award, scholars will receive a package of additional benefits provided by the professional bodies.
Trainees with a 2:2 may be awarded a scholarship in exceptional circumstances, if they have significant relevant experience.
Trainees awarded a scholarship cannot receive a bursary. Trainees who aren't awarded a scholarship are eligible for a bursary.
The minimum criteria is:
- A good honours degree (at least 2:2)
We look for 50% of the degree in the subject you intend to teach but if your degree isn't in the subject you wish to teach, you may be eligible for a funded course to increase your subject knowledge before starting training.
- GCSE's in Math's and English, grade C or above.
- NARIC equivalency certificates for any degree or school qualification gained outside the United Kingdom. For further information visit www.naric.org.uk/naric
- For the Salaried route - 3 years full time work experience
Personal qualities
A great teacher is one a student remembers and cherishes forever; teachers have long-lasting impacts on the lives of their students. As a partnership we have successfully trained teachers from a wide range of backgrounds, all with different experiences prior to making the decision to teach. Whatever your background you will need to be patient and caring with a love of your subject. A willingness to dedicate yourself to the success and well-being of the students is essential.

The teams in Cardiff and Newcastle working on the Health Foundation's MAGIC programme developed a series of tools to help them understand the progress they had made in implementing shared decision making, the challenges and some of the approaches to overcoming these.
This resource contains five tools designed to help individuals and teams measure their progress and understand the challenges and successes.
Tools for managers
The Ask 3 Questions campaign is designed to encourage patients to ask questions and play a more active role in decisions about their treatment and care. There are posters and leaflets and other materials which can be displayed to encourage and support people.
This audit tool provides a simple checklist to help services assess how well they are promoting materials that encourage people to Ask 3 Questions.
Tools for managers
This audit tool, developed by the team in Newcastle working on the Health Foundation's MAGIC programme, is designed for use to audit case notes for written evidence that the shared decision making process has been implemented.
Case studies
This one-page case study describes work in Cardiff, as part of the Health Foundation's MAGIC programme, using the Most Significant Change technique to understand the impact of shared decision making locally.
Case studies
This case study describes work by the Cardiff team working on the Health Foundation's MAGIC programme to develop a survey that would measure the patient's experience of shared decision making.
Other tools and resources
This brief survey is designed to get the health professionals' views on how much they have involved their patient in decisions about their care and treatment.
Other tools and resources
This report sets out some key potential benefits of shared decision making and to what extent they are being realised without shared decision making, providing a framework and baseline against which the impact of implementing shared decision making can be measured.
Other tools and resources
This paper defines 'decision quality' as the extent to which treatments reflect the considered preferences of well-informed patients and are implemented. It sets out the four main elements involved in the decision-making process to ensure a high quality decision, and how these can be measured. It includes a fully-worked example of how to measure the quality of decision making for knee osteoarthritis, which can provide a template for developing materials for other conditions.
Discussion papers
This paper argues that supporting the development and routine use of measures of decision quality will provide opportunities to measurably improvethe quality of decisions, thereby leading to more patient-centered and efficient health care.

|MLBPA Press Release
The Basic Agreement sets out rules that govern players' eligibility for free agency, rules for the conduct of both clubs and players during the offseason, and a means of enforcing those rules against parties who are alleged to be in violation. These requirements are the product of years of bargaining and earlier litigation between MLB and the MLBPA.
The Players Association brought to the attention of Major League Baseball its concerns about the operation of the free-agent market during the past two offseasons (2008-09 and 2009-10). The parties have since engaged in intensive collective bargaining in an effort to arrive at a mutually satisfactory outcome that would obviate the need for prolonged litigation. Today, the MLBPA is pleased to announce that its Executive Board has approved an agreement that will modify certain aspects of the free-agent system for the 2010-11 and 2011-12 offseasons. The players did not achieve everything they set out to accomplish, but the Executive Board views the end result as preferable to continued processing of the potential cases under the grievance and arbitration provisions of the Basic Agreement.
The terms of the agreement are confidential, but among its provisions are the following substantive changes to the operation of the free-agent market that will be effective for the 2010 and 2011 offseasons:
-- Automatic free agency for eligible players, without the need for election;
-- A five-day period at the end of the World Series (shortened from 15) during which only the free agent's original team may sign him to a new contract;
-- Earlier deadlines for the original teams to offer, and for the players to accept, salary arbitration under the rules of the Basic Agreement;
-- An earlier date for clubs to make tender and non-tender decisions;
-- Stricter rules for all parties (the MLBPA, MLB, clubs, players and agents) to guard against collusion in the free-agent process;
-- Restrictions on the abilities of the clubs, players and agents to conduct their free-agent negotiations through use of the media.
MLBPA Executive Director Michael Weiner said:
"The agreement provides a meaningful response to the MLBPA's concerns about the operation of recent free-agent markets. It is intended to facilitate negotiations between clubs and players throughout the salary structure.
"The agreement was approved by the MLBPA's Executive Board, after consultation with a significant number of affected players and their agents. Those affected players, who had the most to gain if the union had successfully litigated these claims, sacrificed for the benefit of players going forward, and deserve our praise and gratitude.
"The Commissioner's Office worked productively and creatively with the union to resolve our differences. I hope that we can build on this momentum when we begin bargaining for a new Basic Agreement later this year."

When I hit my financial bottom, I realized that a lot of things in my life needed to change. I went through my closets and sold off a lot of my entertainment collections. I started trying out every frugal tactic under the sun. I created a debt repayment plan and hammered some of my debts with the money I made from the sales and from the frugality.
Yet the biggest shift – naturally choosing not to spend money at every opportunity – was much more of a gradual change. I didn't wake up one morning with complete success in this area. In fact, it took quite a while before my "default" mode when I went into a bookstore was not to buy a book. It took a long time before I stopped putting unnecessary stuff into my shopping cart.
Why did it take a long time? For one, the old ways were my normal behaviors. It was just the way I had done things my entire adult life, and bulldozing those patterns – especially bulldozing a lot of patterns at once – is easier said than done. For another, I still derived a lot of personal short-term comfort from those choices. I got a nice rush from owning a new book or something like that in the short term – it was only later on when that book was read (or sitting unread on my shelf) and I realized that it had gobbled down $15 or so that I felt bad about it.
What caused an overall mind shift away from that? Obviously, from the subject of this post, it was a gradual shift. However, there were three big key elements that convinced me to break the habits of unnecessary spending in my life.
First, I focused in on one or two key areas where I had a lot of money leaks. For me, the big one was the book store. I love to read, don't get me wrong, but buying three or four new books a week isn't exactly a habit that creates long-term financial security.
So, to start with, I really focused on my book-buying habit. I went on a lengthy sabbatical from bookstores. I just didn't buy any new books.
The effect of this is that it forced me to discover and utilize other methods for feeding my book-reading hobby. I found PaperBackSwap (one of my first orders from there was the remaining four Douglas Coupland novels I'd never read, for example). I rediscovered the library – and I started utilizing the waiting lists for big new releases. I started swapping more books with friends as well.
By the time I gave up on the book store sabbatical, I found that my tendency to buy books with reckless abandon had been broken. I still pick up a book on occasion, but more often than not, it's one that I'm pretty sure I'm going to read multiple times and thus mine extreme value from.
Second, I tried to be mindful of spending in other areas but I didn't beat myself up over failures. I found that, time and time again, if I beat myself up over a mistake, I would be much more prone to just repeat that mistake.
A much better approach for me was to simply say, "I made a spending mistake. That's okay, though – one mistake doesn't break me. What can I do in the future to not repeat that mistake?"
From there, I'd try different things. I eventually adopted a new driving route to work, for example. I altered my evening routine so that I'd often have a lunch packed for me to take to work the next day so I didn't have to eat out each day.
I was mindful of my mistakes and I constantly experimented. Sometimes things would click and just work. Sometimes I'd repeat a mistake a few times. It was a learning process.
Finally, I got more involved in communities and interpersonal relationships that didn't value spending. I started spending more time with some community groups while spending less time with my buddies that were spending money left and right in a seemingly never-ending game of one-upsmanship. I focused a lot on a small handful of personal relationships with people who reflected where I wanted to be with my life and didn't focus as much on relationships that pulled me away from that ideal state.
Over time, I found myself doing less "going out with the boys" to do expensive things and more evenings inviting people over to our house to play board games. I found myself filling my evenings with community meetings instead of going out with people who spent most of their time being negative. I joined groups that matched my interests instead of just trying to keep up with the others in my usual gang.
The people I surrounded myself with began to gradually reinforce good spending behaviors instead of reinforcing bad ones. I no longer felt a social need to have the latest and greatest thing – and that helped a lot.
A final tip that helped: I reduced my mass media consumption. I'm not talking about the advertisements – I'm talking about a lot of the content itself. Shows where people demonstrate unbridled excitement at the possibility of winning some material item. Magazines that talk breathlessly about the latest and greatest product. Whenever I see those things, I just toss them out. I have no need to be influenced by what other people want.
It takes time – at least, it did for me. Good luck.

In 1968, at age 2, Lori Hartwell's kidneys became infected. Ten years later, she had to begin regular dialysis treatments in order to live.
"I vividly remember all of it," said 44-year-old Hartwell in a telephone interview from her home in Glendale, Calif. "Back then (1978), I felt lousy, had high blood pressure, was retaining fluid, and was taking a handful of medication. I was itching a lot because of high phosphorus levels. I was anemic and couldn't walk far."
To get the best care, she and her mother moved from Florida to California. The transition wasn't easy because Hartwell's mother was an alcoholic and Hartwell's growth was being stunted from the kidney disease. (She stands only 4'10" now.) She often felt like she didn't fit in with peers.
"(Because of the kidney disease) [m]any teachers didn't think I'd live," she said. "People didn't have expectations of me living, so they didn't talk about such things as my going to college."
At 24, she received a deceased donor kidney transplant that would radically change her life. Suddenly, she wasn't "tethered" to dialysis, she said, and felt free. Eventually, in 1993, she founded Renal Support Network and began traveling the world over to share her story.
"I saw people with kidney disease dying of loneliness," she said. "Your whole identity can change. My network helps patients help patients. What helped me survive was finding people who had gone through what I had who could empathize and give tips on coping. With my nonprofit organization, I try to develop people (with kidney disease) and tell them they're valuable."
As for loneliness: Healthy teens, for example, often shy away from befriending teens with kidney disease because of not feeling comfortable facing life and death issues.
The Renal Support Network (rsnhope.org) serves many thousands worldwide and includes a radio show, regular meetings across the nation, a patient-written newsletter, patient speaker program, and one-on-one peer help. Hartwell has spoken to audiences in 40 American states, Canada, and South Africa. She has been married 13 years.
Last March, her donated kidney failed after 22 years, and she once again began dialysis three hours a day/three days a week and has been seeking a donor match. She advised people recently diagnosed: "Hang on to hope, connect with other people going through the illness, and find a good healthcare team."

and some behind the scenes photos from the day:
when i saw rosie hardy put together her shootout day, i thought it was an amazing idea and was inspired to do the same thing - sydney version! 10 of us met up at sydney college of the arts one saturday morning and shot through the day. i had a great time, and it was lovely to meet so many new faces that are as much in love with taking pictures as i am, it doesn't make me feel guilty talking all photo mumbo-jumbo! since this shootout was successful, i am definitely going to plan another one! maybe the next one we can shoot at the beach and learn how to work with harsh lighting conditions.. it's all plans in my head for the time being!
the model is the beautiful ayesha jaye, who totally kept her cool posing in front of ten different camera lenses!
suzi rose very kindly let us borrow her clothes for the day & ally cussell was on makeup.
here are a few links to everyone else's photos from the day, i will hopefully be adding everyone to the list as they post their photos!

Great Guys
Fund: Sequoia Capital
Posted by anon on 2007-08-08
Sequoia Capital has been very willing to help our company before we even agreed on a termsheet - they helped close prospective employees, did legwork to help figure out user growth, and continuously offered product feedback. After closing remained very active/helpful investors, which can be extremely beneficial if you are a young entrepreneur without a lot of experience.
Contrary to a lot of other reports, I found Sequoia to be very humble - attitude throughout the process was "you are our customers, and we are only as good as our next investment."
Getting funding was very painless. We agreed on terms ~48 hours after our pitch and closed everything ~2 weeks later. Deal was expensive but fair.
- get angels who are good friends with Sequoia
- build a product and have some users/customers before pitching
- obsessively focus on execution
- they prefer youth and passion to business experience, so come pitch in jeans and tshirt!

Sequoia the Devil You Know
Fund: Sequoia Capital
Posted by scottdunlap on 2011-01-28
I enjoy pitching Sequoia for one simple reason. They are the purest form of greed on Sand Hill Road. If you have something that fits their model, few VC's will do more to help make that a reality, including stepping all over you (which, BTW, they should if you slow it down).
The Sequoia pitch is simple:
1) What it does.
2) Which of the 7 deadly sins does it serve. Yes, this is actually part of their screening. All great investments fundamentally feed one of the 7 deadly sins, which in turn creates an internal need to use it and share it with others. It's not stupid, it's genius. Just a little short on the ethical spectrum.
3) How it grows 1000x per year. Yes, that's the growth rate of their best investments over the last 20 years. Don't think of this as an elitest criterium, think of it as a challenge for you to see the highest growth areas of your business.
4) Data that backs up 2 and 3.
If you have something growing like mad, pitch Sequoia. If you have a hunch and some theories, don't bother unless you can build something that proves it in less than 30 days.
Sequoia doesn't want to be your friend. They want to get rich. You can decide whether or not that's what you want, but they will be that voice for sure.PRIVATE: Members Only (316 Characters)

I heard all of the shark and bully comments about Sequoia, and the source is usually other VC firms. I accept that they may not be founder-friendly. Still, for all their fame, Sequioa was accessible and when partners (Leone and Gandhi) said to stay in touch, they meant it, and indeed we did. Mark Dempster is the way to get in the door and he will offer a sense of the firm's interest, but not presume anything. We were not funded but pitching this firm boosted confidence. Making an impression and connection here means you can do it anywhere so for that reason I would not put Sequoia last in your queue.PRIVATE: Members Only

- He offered concrete suggestions on what it would take to attract his and Sequoia's interest specific to my company.
- He is open. I asked him all manner of direct questions and he replied with direct answers.

Moritz Offers a Challenge
Fund: Sequoia Capital
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-11
Mike got his backside toasted a bit in the final moments of Kawasaki's Revenue Bootcamp today by a conference attendee. But he rose to the challenge, offering to read and respond to most any pitch emailed to him from the 200+ (predominately baby boomer) audience.
Mike was on the last panel of the conference with Paul Graham of yCombinator moderated by Guy. Early in the hour long discussion, both Mike and Paul admitted that one of the optimal characteristics of entrepreneurs they fund is youth, specifically those under 30 years old. They gave sound justifications, which probably rang hollow with the audience.
The confrontation stemmed from a final question an attendee asked that was blatantly dismissed by Moritz. The question seemed authentic enough. The attendee sought the panel's advice for "older" founders / entrepreneurs when approaching VC's for funding.
Paul didn't get a word in before Mike just flipped his response to a series of off-hand remarks and jokes. Guy tried to pursue, but Mike wasn't interested in dealing directly with the question, and that's when the fun started.
Someone in the audience challenged Mike to answer the question, and asked the audience to raise their hands if any were entrepreneurs over 30. Needless to say, at least 85% of the audience raised their hands. The whole auditorium erupted into applause when Mike was challenged by the provoker to "answer the question!"
To Mike's credit, he said he was willing to take on this challenge, and would consider and respond to any well articulated pitch that was emailed to him, no matter how old the founder was.
I know I'm up for this challenge. How about the rest of you?
Leading up to this final question, Guy had moderated an hour discussion with both Mike and Paul Graham of Ycombinator.

On Wednesday, we looked at the seven best moments of George W. Bush's presidency. Today, we take a look at the seven worst moments.
What did we miss? Let us know in the comments section...
7. The Plame affair
The 2003 leak of Valerie Plame's identity as a covert operative in the CIA consumed the administration for months and led to a rift between Bush and then-Vice President Cheney during their second term, after Bush refused to pardon Cheney's former chief of staff, Scooter Libby, in connection with the case. It later turned out that the source of the leak was Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who said he leaked her identity accidentally. But many saw it as politically motivated, given that Plame's husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson, had questioned the administration's case for going to war in Iraq.
6. The 2006 "thumping"
The 2006 midterm election left Bush the lamest of lame ducks for his final two years, in large part because of what were perceived as the failures in his administration. Democrats won both the House and the Senate, along with a majority of governorships -- the first time they had a majority of all three since the 1994 Republican Revolution. Bush summed it all up at a press conference by calling it a "thumpin'".
5. 'Mission Accomplished'
Bush announced the end of major combat operations in Iraq on May 1, 2003, on what should have been a momentous occasion. But the banner that hung behind him that day will live in infamy. The banner preemptively declared "Mission Accomplished" in a war that would last another decade and cost thousands of American lives. The Bush administration had said it wasn't responsible for the banner, but that later turned out not to be the case. Bush has called it a "big mistake."
4. The 16 words
Bush's statement in his 2003 State of the Union address that "the British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" has come to symbolize the botched case for war and what critics call the lies of his administration. There remains some disagreement about whether the words were justified, but CIA director George Tenet later admitted that he never should have approved that statement in Bush's speech, and it became a proxy for the administration's case for war.
3. Abu Ghraib
Bush's anti-terrorism policies came under a microscope throughout his presidency -- including Guantanamo Bay, "enhanced interrogation techniques," the Patriot Act and warrantless wiretapping. But no one policy was as damaging as the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal. The picture above remains the biggest symbol of the mistreatment and torture that occurred at the prison in Iraq -- much of it captured in pictures that were released for the world to see. The episode, while not directly implicating members of the administration, remains a huge black eye on United States foreign policy.
2. (tie) 'Brownie, you're doing a heckuva a job'...
...And the Hurricane Katrina flyover...
...And Kanye West's "George Bush doesn't care about black people"
Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was the last straw for Bush's second term, with his widely criticized handling of the recovery pretty much precluding him from any kind of success in his final years in office. It was punctuated by his admonition that FEMA director Michael Brown was "doing a heckuva job" (amid a large number of complaints that Brown wan't up to the job), an iconic image of Bush flying over the wreckage of Katrina on his way back from a vacation rather than going there immediately, and rapper Kanye West saying during a Katrina telethon that Bush "doesn't care about black people." The last moment registered with Bush, who later called it the worst moment of his presidency.
1. The market crashes and the recession begins
Bush's term ended on a low note, with the market crash of 2008 requiring emergency government intervention and resulting in a long recession that the country is still climbing out of. The bank bailout that Bush spearheaded has gotten positive reviews, but Bush continues to endure criticism for the policies that led to the crash, and he will forever be linked to the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression.

17-story tower leased in one fell swoop
In another show of energy's impact on Houston's commercial real estate market, Technip has signed a lease for an entire 17-story building under construction along the Katy Freeway.
The Houston-based U.S. operations of the French energy services company will occupy 428,831 square feet in the new building, called Energy Tower III - one of many projects planned or under construction in the westside Energy Corridor.
The lease announced Wednesday marks an expansion for the company, which already occupies space in two buildings next to Energy Tower III.
"We are experiencing unprecedented growth in our Houston office," David Dickson, president of Technip North America, said in a statement.
Demand for office space has been rising amid Houston's strengthening economy.
Some of the biggest deals for office space in recent months have come from large energy companies expanding their offices and renewing leases.
The amount of available office space has been constrained, making it tough for large tenants to find new offices.
Space is particularly tight in west Houston, where developers are trying to meet the demand with new buildings.
Along the Energy Corridor, the stretch of Interstate 10 west of Beltway 8 known for its concentration of oil and gas companies, five developments have broken ground and 18 are proposed, according to the Houston office of Jones Lang LaSalle, a commercial real estate firm.
The company pegs the vacancy rate for top-class buildings along the Katy Freeway at 7.4 percent.
The new Technip building should be completed in January, said developer Mac Haik, who started construction on the tower before lining up any tenants to lease it. It is part of a larger site that includes two other office buildings and an Embassy Suites hotel.
Mac Haik Realty developed the 1.5 million-square-foot complex, which has room for a fourth office building.
Technip has been a longtime tenant.
The company first took space in Energy Tower I in 1998 and expanded into Energy Tower II in 2011, Dickson said.
Technip provides project management, engineering and construction services to the energy industry. Its engineering and project centers in North America design and build hydrocarbon production facilities, processing plants and infrastructure from offshore oil and gas developments to onshore refineries and petrochemical plants.
Technip employs 4,000 people in North America.

The heel is worked over half the sts (32, (32), 36) plus two sts which are made by picking up
sts on both sides of the heel sts (34, (34), 38).
The two side sts are always knit and will provide a base for picking up the heel sts.
The heel is worked in MC.
Author's Note: If you choose to knit Chart 2 in intarsia, instead of duplicate stitching at the end, wait until after working 2 rows in MC to place the S correctly.
*Row 1: k 36, (36), 38
Row 2: k1, p 34, (34), 36, k1**
Repeat from * to ** 14 times.

marker, k1, ssk, k the rest of the round.
Knit one round.**
Repeat from * to ** until 64, (64), 72 sts remain on the needles, remembering to work 3 rounds in CC and 5 rounds of MC.
Knit until the foot is 2½ inches (6.35 cm) shorter than what you would like.
Change to CC and knit 3 rounds.
Change back to MC and knit 1 round.
Decrease 8 sts evenly in the round.
Knit 5 rounds without decreasing.
Decrease 8 sts evenly, and then knit 4 rounds without decreasing.
Decrease 8 sts, then knit 3 rounds without decreasing.
*Decrease 8 sts evenly, then knit 2 rounds without decreases**
Repeat from * to ** until 16 sts remain in the round.
K2to around (8 times).
Break yarn and pull through the 8 remaining sts.
Weave in ends.
Repeat for second sock.
Duplicate stitching
Chart 4 is to be placed 5 rows below the last CC round on the cuff and centered on the heel. Use CC to duplicate stitch over the appropriate
MC sts.
Charts 2 & 3 are to be placed 5 rows below the first CC band on the foot and centered in front of the sock. Again duplicate stitch using CC to cover the appropriate MC sts. Use Chart 2 for one sock, Chart 3 for the other.

Our little girl Poppy was born on 30th March on her due date but devastatingly only brightened this world for 7 short hours. She was simply beautiful. She died of an infection quite unexpectedly. A complete shock to all. Words cannot possibly describe the last six months so I am not even going to try. What I can say is that we are finally seeing light at the end of a dark tunnel and finding simple pleasures in life again. I am not going to say anymore as tears are flowing and this is very hard. Maybe I will be back here one day, but right now we still need the comfort, safety and continual support of our most amazing family and friends who have been just incredible and got us through this past six months.

Michael Laudrup calls victory at Newcastle Swansea's best yet this season
Michael Laudrup was left purring after Swansea won on the road in the Premier League for the first time since August.
Last Updated: 18/11/12 8:16am
Goals from Michu and Jonathan De Guzman secured a 2-1 success at Newcastle, who were beaten at home for the second time in as many weeks.
Swansea won at Liverpool in the Capital One Cup, but their only previous away victory in the league was a 5-0 thrashing of QPR on the opening day.
Laudrup said: "It was the best away performance this season, including QPR and Liverpool.
"To come here and play Newcastle at a moment when we knew Newcastle really needed a win - because they think they belong much higher than they are now - we knew it would be really difficult for us.
"But we put on a great performance. We can always discuss what is a big goal chance, but without my Swansea glasses, I think I can say we created at least eight or nine quite big chances.
"That's very difficult to do as an away team against a team like Newcastle's."

I expected to be disappointed by President Barack Obama's West Point address. During the campaign he constantly reminded us that this war had been thrust upon us. Like World War II, it would define us.
Unfortunately, even after months of reflection Obama's speech added little more to his case than catchy metaphors and inconsistent analysis, with spick-and-span cadets as props.
Employing the language of foreign policy realism, Obama informed his audience that the Taliban constituted a threat to our national interest. He then promised a carefully delimited military response sufficient to get the job done but cost effective enough not to threaten domestic priorities.
Obama's hard-nosed realism invites careful scrutiny. College international relations texts generally point out that realism in international relations has a distinguished pedigree going back to Thucydides' "History of the Peloponnesian Wars." No sentimentalist, the Greek historian portrayed a world in which war would play a continuing role. Thucydides, however, conveyed another sensitivity lost to many of today's "realists" and completely absent in Obama's speech. Thucydides highlighted the contingencies in war, the misleading information on which its protagonists depended. His sense of the tragic would challenge Obama's hubristic notion that war could be nicely calibrated in numbers of troop commitment and length of stay.
Obama seems overawed by a Pentagon brass whose rhetoric of war, replete with references to surgical strikes and smart bombs, only furthers such hubris.
Even if realism is to be one's guide, shouldn't dangers and stakes be specified by clear analysis and closely examined factual claims? We are told that Afghanistan was the source of the 9-11 attacks and that it remains the "epicenter" of Islamic extremism. "Epicenter" is a powerful metaphor. Obama conjures up a terrifying vision of an Afghanistan-centered earthquake or tsunami rapidly spreading to engulf the innocent.
Yet 9-11 was carried out mostly by Saudis whose logistical support came primarily from Islamic extremists in Germany. Intelligence agencies throughout the world increasingly believe that al-Qaida itself is a dispersed, loosely knit collection. Hardly the sort of entity where chopping off the head ends the danger. Ironically, Obama himself seems to acknowledge this point, though not its implications for an Afghanistan escalation, with a comment late in his speech about the need for supple and dispersed intelligence.
Our Summer Campaign Is Underway
Support Common Dreams Today
Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
If al-Qaida is the source of evil in the world, we should not only encourage cooperative intelligence with other nations, but also strive to understand its motives. As Nir Rosen, fellow at the New York University School of Law and Security, points out, Islamic extremists gain converts not by denouncing our freedoms but rather by highlighting our one-sided approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and India and Pakistan's ongoing conflict over Kashmir.
Since intelligence reports also suggest that al-Qaida is now more concentrated in Pakistan than Afghanistan and instability in a nuclear-armed Pakistan a much larger regional and world threat, action on these issues is imperative.
A broader look at the U.S. moral posture in the world is just what Obama's rhetoric sidesteps. Near the conclusion of the speech a president who had spoken of our pursuit of hard national interest went on to celebrate the idealism that has purportedly always motivated U.S. foreign policy:
"For unlike the great powers of old, we have not sought world domination. Our union was founded in resistance to oppression. We do not seek to occupy other nations."
As historian Andrew Bacevich points out, however, this is "the way we prefer to see ourselves and, therefore, the narrative that we use to justify all that we do in the world. It is really telling that this president, whose background is quite different [from prior presidents], would embrace that narrative so uncritically. [T]hat is indicative of the extent to which there is going to be any change in Washington."
Months ago, this president hinted at the limits of our celebratory narrative when he admitted our role in overthrowing Iran's democratic government in the '50s. Nonetheless, the simplistic narrative of good versus evil combined inconsistently with a shallow realpolitik and inordinate confidence in the efficacy of military continues unabated in D.C. That these notions hold such sway over even a president who likely harbors inner doubts about this D.C. consensus is doubly tragic for him and for us.

Domack Research Highlighted in the Journal Nature
Research conducted on a 57-day expedition along the Antarctic Peninsula in 2010 led by Eugene Domack, the J.W. Johnson Family Professor of Geosciences, was the focus of a Dec. 12 article in the journal Nature. "Polar research: Trouble bares its claws - Crabs invading the Antarctic continental shelf could deal a crushing blow to a rare ecosystem" provided an overview of the changing ecological balance in the waters off Antarctica due to warming waters and the invasion of crabs into that area. The article highlighted Domack's measurement of temperature changes during the last three decades.
According to the article, "Cold temperatures have kept crabs out of Antarctic seas for 30 million years." Now, however, "researchers are worried that rising crab populations and other effects of the warming waters could irrevocably change a sea-floor ecosystem that resembles no other on Earth."
"Domack has managed to date the onset [of rising temperatures] by measuring the amount of radioactive carbon-14 in deep-sea corals collected from the continental shelf — a process similar to reading tree rings," the article reported. Working with Domack, both Taylor Burt '08 and Theresa Allinger '11 wrote theses focused on this coral research.
"Average water temperatures west of the Antarctic Peninsula have risen by 1 °C in the past 50 years, and continue to rise by 0.01–0.02 °C per year," according to the article.

major macro economic indicators
|2018 (e)
|2019 (f)
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(e): Estimate. (f): Forecast.
- Strong economic momentum linked to implementation of major investment projects
- Donor support under the Emerging Senegal Plan
- Headway on business climate and governance
- Strong track record of political stability
- Significant oil and natural gas reserves off the Senegalese coast
- Growth and exports at the mercy of weather events and commodity price developments
- Inadequate energy and transport infrastructure
- Significant external deficit
- Low per capita wealth, unemployment and regional disparities
Domestic demand continues to support vibrant growth
In 2019, growth will maintain its favourable momentum, mainly driven by investment. Implementation of the Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE), which is set to enter its second phase, will continue to support the public components of investment and consumption. The investment opportunities offered by the PSE and reforms to improve the business environment should also create a spillover effect to stimulate private investment. Gross capital formation is expected to benefit the construction, transport, agri-food and energy sectors especially, given the prospects for exploiting hydrocarbon reserves off the Senegalese coast (from 2021 for gas and 2022 for oil). The new city of Diamniadio and the Taiba Ndiaye wind farm project (which is forecast to boost the country's electricity production by 15% in the long term), will be on the agenda in 2019. Increased output in the farming (rice, groundnut, horticulture) and fisheries sectors, thanks to efforts to modernise these industries, should also help to support growth. Household consumption, more than 50% of which depends on the income of the agricultural sector, should thus continue to drive growth. Domestic dynamics and tourism growth will contribute to increased trade activities, while ICT, transport and financial intermediation are expected to provide additional support to the tertiary sector.
Persistent twin deficits
Wage increases to meet strikers' demands in the public sector, rising oil prices and increased security spending have put more pressure on public spending and caused the budget deficit to widen. Even so, the latter will likely come down in 2019 to meet the WAEMU convergence criterion of 3% of GDP. In particular, continued efforts to overhaul the tax and customs administrations, including amendments to the General Tax Code in 2018, should help to improve the mobilisation of tax revenue, which stands at around 16% of GDP, i.e. below the 20% target set by WAEMU. To cut the deficit, the authorities also intend to control recurrent expenditure more effectively in order to favour social and investment expenditure. As part of the IMF-backed Policy Support Instrument programme, measures have been taken to improve the efficiency of public spending, including the creation of a project bank.
The current account deficit is expected to remain large in 2019. While agricultural and fisheries export volumes are set to continue increasing, imports of capital goods, a corollary of the investment dynamics, will continue to weigh on the trade balance. The balance of services, despite the effects of increased tourism, will remain negative, while the primary income account will remain burdened by investment income. Remittances, including from expatriates, will make the largest positive contribution to the overall balance. Despite an upturn in FDI, external debt, notably through the issuance of eurobonds, remains necessary to finance the current deficit. External debt represents about 75% of total public debt, which has been on a rapid upward trajectory since the beginning of the decade. However, after revisions to GDP figures, this looks sustainable. Debt restructuring should also lead to a reduction in debt service.
Political stability at the heart of the 2019 presidential elections
Elected in 2012, President Macky Sall will stand for re-election in the presidential elections scheduled for the 24th February 2019. The sweeping victory won by his Benno Bokk Yakaar (United in Hope) coalition in the 2017 parliamentary elections, when it took 125 seats out of 165, suggests that Mr Sall will run as favourite, and all the more so following court decisions barring two major opposition figures from contesting the elections. Khalifa Sall, former mayor of Dakar, was sentenced in 2018 to five years in prison for embezzling public funds, while Karim Wade, son of former President Abdoulaye Wade (2000-2012), was given a six-year prison term in 2015 for corruption, but was then released by presidential pardon the following year. By feeding the perception that the government is trying to side-line the most serious opposition candidates, these decisions are fuelling a tense social climate. Strikes and demonstrations by teachers and students also signal renewed social tensions.
Insecurity in the Sahel and Casamance regions, which has led to additional budgetary expenditure, is expected to remain a concern.

I didn't see not one school that requires 3 recommendations.
For William & Mary's optional essay (re: an event that you are especially proud of)-- would it be a bad idea to discuss in greater detail an event mentioned in the personal statement?
Personally, I need adequate manual, oral, and prostate stimulation to truly "go complete", but I think this is different for everyone. Just be sure to provide adequate warm-up before the main event -- this area is often neglected.
question..do i need an addendum for why i don't have an LOR from my current employer? i just graduated in august, and i've been working for less than 4 mths.i was just going to add one, but then i realized i would have 3 addenda (one is for leave of absence due to an internship, one for why my weird-ass school's name changes depending on the type of document submitted).p.s. i hate 'why us?' essays and i hope they die.
