About The Great North Korean Picture Show
Welcome to Hollywood, Kim Jong-il style. For the first time, foreign cameras are allowed into the world's most secretive state's only film school. In a country where film is a vital propaganda tool, not entertainment, what room is there for artistic expression? Very little. Filmmakers James Leong and Lynn Lee follow two young actors and a director, handpicked by the regime to become stars, as they hone their craft. Every scene of implored love for the state, each painstaking rehearsal, even a surprise lesson in how to frame a portrait of Kim Jong-un raises the question of whether a gun, either literal or metaphorical, is pointed at the actors from the ever-watchful sidelines. We are never certain whether its rank and file toe the party line with anything like the willingness evinced by the privileged protagonists. Searing critique, objective observation or just fantastic fun, this is an irresistible glimpse behind barbed wire.

Facts and Events
John III ( ; 7 June 1502 – 11 June 1557) nicknamed The Colonizer (Portuguese: "o Colonizador") was the King of Portugal and the Algarves from 13 December 1521 to 11 June 1557. He was the son of King Manuel I and Maria of Aragon, the third daughter of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. John succeeded his father in 1521, at the age of nineteen.
During his rule, Portuguese possessions were extended in Asia and in the New World through the Portuguese colonization of Brazil. John III's policy of reinforcing Portugal's bases in India (such as Goa) secured Portugal's monopoly over the spice trade of cloves and nutmeg from the Maluku Islands, as a result of which John III has been called the "Grocer King". On the eve of his death in 1557, the Portuguese empire had a global dimension and spanned almost 1 billion acres (about 4 million square kilometers).
During his reign, the Portuguese became the first Europeans to make contact with both China, under the Ming Dynasty, and Japan, during the Muromachi period. He abandoned Muslim territories in North Africa in favor of trade with India and investment in Brazil. In Europe, he improved relations with the Baltic region and the Rhineland, hoping that this would bolster Portuguese trade.

Seek advice on retrenchment
MANY are facing retrenchment or redundancy as firms cut costs in a bid to stay afloat.
It can be an emotional time for anybody who is faced with losing their job, but it's also a time when expert advice is vital.
Changes have been introduced since July 1, 2007 where only those who satisfy the "transitional rules" are allowed to transfer or direct part of their redundancy payment into superannuation to save tax.
Also, Centrelink defers payment of benefits for a time because the termination payment is regarded as a resource to keep you going till you get a new job.
Sarah, aged 50, has been employed for 15 years and six months. She has recently received a bona fide redundancy payment of $160,000 and qualifies for the transitional rule treatment. Sarah will be required to take the tax-free component of her redundancy payment ($71,705) as cash but may elect to roll over the remaining amount of $88,295 to superannuation.
Should she choose this strategy instead of cashing it in she will save just over $14,568 in tax.
An additional benefit of this strategy is the amount transferred into super will not be taken into consideration by Centrelink when determining the numbers of weeks Sarah will have to wait to claim unemployment payment.
A major decision for many older workers will be to retire or look for a new job, but in all cases try to keep your situation as flexible as possible. For example, don't repay more than three month's payments off your loans, because your age space if you suffer a financial setback such as difficulty in finding new employment.
Noel Whittaker is a director of Whittaker Macnaught Pty Ltd. His advice is general in nature and readers should seek their own professional advice before making any financial decisions. His email is email@example.com.

MARATHON, Florida, March, 9th, 2018 – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of an application for an Experimental Use Permit (EUP) for the release of Oxitec's OX513A Friendly™ Mosquitoes in Monroe County, Florida. This marks the opening of a 30-day public comment period, after which the EPA will review the comments as part of their evaluation of Oxitec's EUP application.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with FKMCD on this important pilot project. Our Friendly Mosquitoes have been highly successful in projects around the world and we're now looking forward to deploying right here in the US." – Grey Frandsen, General Manager Oxitec Ltd.
Following guidance issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA-CVM), regulatory jurisdiction for self-limiting Aedes aegypti Friendly™ Mosquitoes in the United States was transferred to the EPA as a pesticide product in October 2017.
While under FDA jurisdiction, the FDA published a final Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and final Environmental Assessment (EA) on self-limiting Friendly™ Mosquitoes for an investigational trial in the Florida Keys. The finding concluded that a field trial of the genetically engineered (GE) Friendly™ Mosquitoes in Key Haven, Florida, will not result in a negative impact on the environment or human or animal health. This assessment was carried out by an FDA-led team and included experts from the FDA-CVM, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the EPA.
The purpose of Oxitec's experimental use program is to determine the efficacy of Oxitec's self-limiting Aedes aegypti Friendly™ Mosquitoes as a control method for the wild pest Aedes aegypti population.
"We are focused on reducing the population of wild Aedes aegypti mosquitoes without any impacts to other insects or animals. Friendly™ Mosquitoes are a precise, species-specific and environmentally-responsible vector-control solution with a proven record of success." – Derric Nimmo, Principal Scientist Oxitec Ltd.
The Federal Register publication is available at:
Comments may be submitted at:
How Friendly™ Mosquitoes work
Oxitec has been working in Aedes aegypti control for over a decade and pioneered the use of a biological method to suppress wild populations of this dangerous mosquito species through the release of Friendly™ Mosquitoes, which do not bite and do not transmit diseases. When released, these males search for wild females to mate, and their offspring inherit a self-limiting gene that causes them to die before reaching adulthood. Friendly™ Mosquitoes offspring also inherit a fluorescent marker that allows tracking and monitoring, making the assessment of effectiveness accurate throughout the Friendly™ Mosquitoes deployment program. Unlike other approaches, Friendly™ Mosquitoes die along with their offspring, and therefore do not persist in the environment or leave any ecological footprint.

An Exploration of Atmospheric Microbiology
"We cannot fathom the marvelous complexity of an organic being; but on the hypothesis here advanced this complexity is much increased. Each living creature must be looked at as a microcosm—a little universe, formed of a host of self-propagating organisms, inconceivably minute and as numerous as the stars in heaven." - Charles Darwin
We have learned a lot about microbes living in land, water, and host environments—without them, we would know very little about the structure and function of microbes. However, little is known about microbial environments in the atmosphere, the layer of gases common to all surfaces around the globe. Here, we take a look at the biodiversity of microbes in the atmosphere.
Microbial Biodiversity in the Atmosphere
Figure 1. Layers of the atmosphere. Source
Air is a biotic environment. Bacterial concentrations over the Caribbean have been estimated at over 5,100 bacterial cells per cubic meter. Further, studies of bacterial and fungal concentrations show that there are 4.5 x 103 spores per milliliter in cloud water samples, while snow samples, have about 3.1 x 103 cells per milliliter.
Aeromicrobiology investigates different regions of the atmosphere, which vary in factors such as composition, pressure, water vapor, cosmic radiation, solar UV radiation, presence of particulate matter, temperature, and others. Adding to the complexity, these factors respond to biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, short-term weather patterns, and long-term global climate changes. There is thought to be a seasonal shift in the aeromicrobiome, with the largest numbers of microbes during summer or spring. Earth's "atmosphere" consists of gaseous layers held in by gravity, spanning from the troposphere to the stratosphere.
Airborne microorganisms originate from soil, lakes, oceans, animals, plants, sewage plants, animal renderings, solid waste recovery systems, wastewater spray irrigation sites, and fermentation and other biological processes. Some microbes even hitch a ride on jetstreams. At least 17 bacterial taxa have been found in the troposphere (Fig. 2).
(Click to enlarge) Figure 2. Composition of tropospheric bacterial communities. Source
Some organisms, such as Serratia liquefaciens and some species of Carnobacterium, are capable of growing at 0°C in a CO2-rich, oxygen-free atmosphere at a low atmospheric pressure of 7 millibars in experimental conditions. Most research suggests that microbial life cycles are dependent on aerosolization processes, but researchers are continuing to search for the upper limit of the active atmospheric biosphere.
The upper atmosphere has an increased amount of UVA and UVB rays, which are damaging to nucleic acids and proteins. Additionally, low temperatures can lead to freezing and desiccation. Microbe survival—even in dormant states—depends on the ability to repair this damage. Some bacteria protect themselves through adsorbed water on the surface of suspended atmospheric particles, which protects them from drying.
Growth and Division of Aerosolized Microbes
There is some evidence that microbes are metabolically active within clouds. Bacteria that have been isolated from clouds are able to use organic compounds such as acetate, formate, succinate, L-lactate, formaldehyde and methanol. Serratia marcescens may be able to undergo cellular division while residing in a nutrient-containing aqueous droplet of 2 to 6 μm in diameter. Bacterial and fungal metabolism at the atmospheric boundary layer is not limited to clouds—dicarboxylic acid (a type of organic aerosol) can be efficiently transformed by airborne microbes outside of clouds as well. This shows that biodegradation could be an important atmospheric transformation pathway for organic compounds. One study showed that aerosolized bacteria increase their ribosome production when supplied with carbon substrates in the lab. The jury is out on whether or not other bacteria can grow and divide while floating in air.
Effects of the Atmosphere on Microbial Metabolism
Nitrogen oxides are commonly emitted from fuel combustion and burning of fossil fuel. Nitrogen dioxide has a low level of solubility in water, but a much higher solubility in air (nitrogen oxide has the the opposite solubility traits). Nitrogen byproducts in the atmosphere are a point of concern for human health—including cardiovascular disease and respiratory symptoms—especially in the face of increasing urbanization and air-quality problems. Studies of Pseudomonas fluorescens showed reduced swimming motility and decreased swarming when exposed to nitrogen dioxide. Further, NO2-exposed P. fluorescens developed more antibiotic resistance against ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol. Stratospheric ozone depletion also depletes bacterial concentrations in Antarctic marine environments. Lags in recovery to UV exposure were attributed to energetically expensive repair of UV-induced DNA damage acquired during periods of low total column ozone. These are just two of the many ways the atmosphere can affect the functions of microbial metabolism.
Extreme Environments Call for Extreme Methods
In part because atmospheric scientists have considered the atmosphere as an inhospitable environment containing dead cells and inert particles, there has been an inherent bias against conducting research on living organisms in atmospheric air. Even as research reveals the atmosphere to be a dynamic biotic environment, challenges limit the expansion of aerobiology in modern science; in particular: culturing airborne bacteria is very difficult. Atmospheric bacteria live in an environment where pressure, nutrient makeup and concentration, and temperature conditions are significantly different than those in the lab. If the atmosphere is so fundamentally different, is an agar plate going to do the job?
In a word, no. But one way to work around this problem is to take large samples of air droplets during water collection flights. During these flights, cloud water is collected over an oval-shaped track, with adjustments made to remain with the same cloud field. Cloud samples are then frozen to -80°C immediately after collection, stained to determine microbial quantity and metabolic activity, or examined via ion chromatography to determine nitrite, nitrate, sulfate, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium levels. Atmospheric bacteria collected by this method have the metabolic ability to transform compounds including carbon, nitrogen, and oxidative species. In 2012, enough bacteria were pulled from the atmosphere to conduct 16S rRNA analysis, allowing scientists to assess the atmospheric microbial population composition.
If you don't have access to a Beechcraft Duchess twin-engine aircraft, you could just climb a volcano. Of course, this approach to sample collection isn't easy, either: over four days, scientists climbed to a remote volcano and collected samples within a water-based preservation solution to prevent degradation of the DNA and RNA. Culture-independent microbiology research, based on rDNA and rRNA sequencing data, has recently supported the evidence for metabolic activity in the troposphere (see Fig. 2).
Earth Day 2017: Microbes on a Global Scale
Microbes are important in all environments on earth, including those formerly considered bereft of life. Microbes and the atmosphere have an interdependent relationship: metabolic activities of atmospheric microbes affect global functions including precipitation development and carbon cycling, and in turn microbial biodiversity of the atmosphere is affected by changes in temperature, particulate matter, and UV radiation. Methanotrophic microbes consume much of the methane produced in terrestrial ecosystems and prevent it from reaching the atmosphere, and microbes are involved in nitrogen fixation, decreasing the amount of nitrogen available for greenhouse gas formation. Further, microbes are able to use the gaseous form of nitrogen (NO2)—something most other organisms on Earth cannot. Because microbial populations shift faster than those of most living organisms, we can use microbial populations as sentinels to determine whether climate change is having effects in particular environments.

11 Aug Our Visit to Butler County
Let me begin by saying this trip was fully compensated for. Every last part of it, but as always, that doesn't change the way I tell my story. Guys, don't you know me by now?
Okay, so on to the important stuff–our little weekend getaway to Butler County. I'll be honest, like most of you, I was like, "Where and what is Butler County?!" The Donut Trail is what first enticed me, but I'll admit, there was so much more to Butler County than the Donut Trail!
I'm going to give a run down our entire trip with some information about each stop–what we liked, didn't like and what we would have done differently.
The WEB Extreme Entertainment

Worth it? Definitley one of those "rainy-day" or "too hot outside" places to visit. I could also see this being a great place to host a birthday party! My kids love it, but they LOVE places like this.
Staybridge Suites Hotel
Favorites: I'm going to make a list for this one because there are SO many!
- Space–all the space. We had two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen area. Oh, don't forget the two full bathrooms, too. It really did remind me of a 2 bedroom apartment. We had more space than I was used to when traveling which made the stress level so much lower. It sounds crazy, but when we got home I told Cliff that the reason we had such a pleasant trip was because of the hotel. The space we had helped us not get sick of each other. BEST. HOTEL. EVER.
- Free Social Hour- Okay, I didn't use this, but I should have snuck off to use it! Three days a week they offer complimentary food and drinks during happy hour!!
- Free Hot Breakfast Buffet- There were actually TOO many things to choose from. Cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, bagels, waffles, the list goes on. Your belly will be full and ready to start the day.
- The Pantry– I only visited about 6 times! Haha! This was perfect for all the small things you may have forgotten or needed asap. I ended up buying hair ties, wipes, Cherry Coke Zero, and Tylenol.
Price Point: $180 a night
Worth it? Yes, 100 times YESSSS! This hotel was amazing and we will find every Staybridge Suites on every trip we take. And, I'm not kidding!
Jungle Jim's Marketplace
Favorites: The water feature outside, for sure. Well, and the humungous candy area that we spent entirely way too much time in. Ha!
Price Point: This obviously depends on what you're getting, but I feel like it's between Giant Eagle and Kroger?
Worth it? Yes! Especially if you are staying at Staybridge Suites. Grab some groceries and keep them in your hotel. But, other than groceries, it's a really cool place to visit for all it's unique finds, beer selection, and really cool restrooms!
Bagger Dave's Burger Tavern
Favorites: All the dipping sauces!
Price Point: Normal night out — Similar to Rusty Bucket pricing.
Worth it? Yes! Pricing was great and it was kid friendly. The outside patio area was perfect for kids.
The Cone
Favorites: So many choices. It reminded me of Dairy Queen, but better. Is that a thing? YES!
Price Point: Probably too cheap–ha!
Worth it? YES! Besides the ice cream, there are really cool rides to ride outside. The kids spent a good hour in this area!
Donut Trail Expedition
Favorites: Um… DONUTS?!
Price Point: Depending on the donut shop, very cheap to a bit pricey. Overall, best donuts I have ever had!
Worth it? UM–Duh! This is one of the main attractions you'll find in Butler County. Did you know that the slowest time for donut selling is in the summer? Since the Donut Trail emerged, the donut shops in Butler County rarely see a slow time at all. That's pretty incredible!
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum
- BOGO Mondays: buy any attraction and get a second one 50% off
- Token Tuesdays: get $5 in game credits (free tokens) for every $10 game credits purchased
- Five Star Wednesdays: get all five attractions for just $20
- Laser Web Thursdays: play laser tag all day for only $20
Price Point: Similar to Dave and Buster's and Magic Mountain
Worth it? Yes, so fun–but you must get the golf cart!
Jolly's Drive-In
Favorites: Foot long hot dog, Root Beer float, cheeseburger…um…everything???
Price Point: CHEAP
Worth it? ABSOLUTELY, YES!
Fratelli's Pizzeria
Favorites: Pizza was really good. It was a very laid back setting, super kid-friendly.
Price Point: Very reasonably priced.
Worth it? I could take it or leave it. There was a fly in my salad, so…..
Hotel Breakfast
Favorites: Delaney loved the sausage! I loved that they literally had everything and it wasn't super crowded. We were able to plop the kids down and enjoy a quick breakfast before starting our day.
Price Point: NOTTA! The
Worth it? Anything free is totally worth it!
Indian Springs Berry Farm
Favorites: The blackberries were so fresh. We learned so much about the different types of blackberries, how to grow them, and we even got to see some really cool farm animals.
Price Point: Great price– you get the experience and ORGANIC blackberries.
Worth it? 100%

We're grateful that a judge today ordered St. Paul Catholic officials to be deposed and turn over records about clerics who commit or conceal heinous crimes against kids.
The need for more disclosure by church figures has been clear for years. Many rightly believe that church officials have not, and are not, being held accountable for irresponsible deeds and crimes that other officials in other organizations would be.
For decades, our justice system has erred on the side of protecting church officials in these cases, sometimes treading lightly for fear of alienating a large institution. The results have been – and continue to be – disastrous.
We must, for the safety of children, err on the side of protecting those who are vulnerable, not those who seem powerful or popular.
St. Paul's archbishop claimed that he and his disgraced top aide should not be deposed. We are glad these complicit clerics lost.
Their excuse was that they supposedly didn't handle the case of this notorious predator priest, Fr. Thomas Adamson. Even if this is true, it's irrelevant.
Many church officials have access to many records about many predator priests. Nearly all of these officials endanger kids by keeping this information secret. All of these officials could (like Jennifer Haselberger) protect kids by speaking up.
Morally, these church officials should be held responsible, because they're at the top of a rigid hierarchy in which their orders are followed and their actions are emulated. Legally, these church officials should be held responsible, for the same reason: they could have protected kids and stopped predators but refused to do so.
No matter which priest molested which kids under which archbishop, every Catholic employee who refused to call the police about known or suspected child sex crimes is guilty – if not legally, then morally.
A CEO of a waste disposal firm may not have loaded or unloaded leaky barrels of dangerous chemicals. That doesn't mean, however, that he should be allowed to pretend he was or is powerless or blameless.
Catholic officials are forever trying to distance themselves from and claim to be powerless over their child molesting clerics. Increasingly, judges, jurors, police, prosecutors and parishioners are rightly seeing through this ruse.
We hope this ruling inspires others who saw, suspected or suffered clergy sex crimes and cover ups in Minnesota – in any denomination – to step forward.
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We've been around for 25 years and have more than 15,000 members.

I have a question for the CS team.
I have multiple accounts with VIP status. Two of my biggest ones are in a zone I rarely take part in other than to be a farm for a guild so they can have my rss. Is there a way to merge my VIP statuses to my new main account? I have worked hard and spent a lot of money to get these VIP levels. I would even agree to letting you delete those bases after you take away the VIP levels and move them to my main account.

Buckwheat Crepes with Whipped Ricotta Goat Cheese and Strawberry Preserves
Buckwheat Crepes with Whipped Ricotta Goat Cheese and Strawberry Preserves
Makes 9 Crepes
⅔ cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Whipped Ricotta Goat Cheese
1 cup fresh whole milk ricotta
Arugula Salad
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
pinch salt and ground black pepper
Side Serving
Prep Time: 45 mins
Cook Time: 1 hour 15 mins
Total Time: 2 hours
Buckwheat Crepes
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flours and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into the well. Whisk the milk into the eggs while gradually incorporating the flour mixture. Add the butter and continue to whisk until mixture is smooth and well combined. Allow batter to rest for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a crepe or small frying pan over medium heat. Melt ½ teaspoon butter and use a paper towel to lightly grease pan. Ladle about a ¼-cup of batter into the center of the pan. Lift and swirl the pan quickly so that the batter evenly covers the bottom of the pan. Cook until edges begin to turn golden, about 1 minute. Use a spatula to gently lift and flip the crepe to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
--Whipped Ricotta Goat Cheese
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or use strong arms and a whisk), whisk together the cheeses until light and creamy, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high, about 2-3 minutes.
--Arugula Salad
Whisk together oil, vinegar, dijon, salt, and pepper. Toss with arugula and sliced almonds.
Fold crepes into quarters and serve with a generous dollop of whipped ricotta and goat cheese. Swirl a generous tablespoon of strawberry preserves on top of the ricotta and serve alongside a handful of tossed arugula.

(PLDT) raised P8.8 billion after investors yesterday gobbled up the fixed rate corporate notes issued by the telecom provider. PLDT assistant corporate secretary Florentino Mabasa Jr. said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) that proceeds of the issuance of the seven- and 10-year fixed rate corporate notes would be used to refinance the company's existing debt. The seven-year notes carried an interest of 5.6038 percent while the 10-year debt paper fetched 5.6423 percent. "Proceeds from the said facility would be used to refinance PLDT's existing debts in line with the company's liability management initiatives to reduce financing costs and extend its debt maturities," Mabasa stressed. PLDT tapped BPI Capital Corp. and First Metro Investment Corp. as joint issue managers for the fund raising activity aimed at managing the PLDT Group's liabilities. The financial report of PLDT Group as of June showed that it has a long-term debt of P112.77 billion, more than half of which or P58.49 billion as scheduled to mature between 2012 and 2015. Wireless subsidiary Smart Communications Inc. accounted for P24.73 billion of the group's total maturing debt between 2012 and 2015 as of end June while PLDT accounted for P22.71 billion. Digital Telecommunications of the Philippines (Digitel), acquired from taipan John Gokongwei for P69.2 billion, had a maturing debt of P10.58 billion between 2012 and 2015 while SPi Global had P487 million. Amid the lower income in the first half of the year, PLDT chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan earlier said the dominant carrier is still well on its way to meeting its profit guidance of P37 billion for this year. "We will continue to exert our utmost effort to get back on the profit growth track as quickly as we can, as we harness the opportunities for synergy within the Group. We maintain our Core Net Income guidance for the full year 2012 at P37 billion," Pangilinan stressed PLDT's profits slipped by eight percent to P19.5 billion in the first half of the year from P21.3 billion in the same period last year as it continued to consolidate the operations of Digitel that was acquired late last year. Data showed that PLDT's overall consolidated service revenues jumped 12 percent to P84.7 billion for the first six months of the year from P37.91 billion in the same period last year. Latest data showed that PLDT Group's cellular subscriber base increased by 3.7 million to 67.4 million while total broadband subscribers at 3.1 million. Wireless subsidiary Smart Communications Inc had 26.9 million subscribers under its mainstream Smart brands, while value brand Talk 'N Text ended has 24 million subscribers. Digitel had 15.9 million Sun Cellular subscribers while Smart subsidiary CURE's Red Mobile brand had 600,000 subscribers. On the other hand, the Group's combined broadband subscriber base hit the 3.1 million mark at the end of the first half of 2012, representing net additions of about 134,000 for the PLDT Group's various broadband services including SmartBro and PLDT's DSL.

July 1st column
By Dave Stancliff
Don't you just love secrets?
I know I do. It's exciting to have one, or to discover one.
Gary Moore, the game show host for "I've Got a Secret," that ran from June 19, 1952 until April 3, 1967, successfully tapped into American's love for secrets. Curiosity is a very human trait and it often makes life more interesting.
Last week's worst-held secret award goes to the hoards of DEA and FBI types gathering in Humboldt County. The last time a successful secret raid was conducted here was in 1990 when "Operation Green Sweep" surprised and angered a lot of Humboldt residents who resented having 200 armed National Guardsmen and BLM officers swarm over their land.
This time the internet ratted the feds out. Anonymous blogs sprang up overnight and the word that hundreds of feds were gathering in town got around. I suspect that sources close to the operation probably shared their secret with the wrong person. But who knows?
If this was a military operation it would have ended badly for the attackers. Informed defenders are hard too sneak up on. Just think what would have happened if we had the internet back in the forties. D-Day would have been impossible.
Secrets are harder to keep these days with the popularity of the internet. I can't help wondering how all those agents felt, knowing everybody in town knew they were there for a "secret" raid. It must have been somewhat unsettling wondering who was reporting your every movement.
One government spokesperson did tell Channel 3 News they were aware of the blogs and were actually getting information from them. That raised my eyebrows for a moment. As far as I can tell, after following all the blogs closely for the past two weeks, the only real information they got was that most of Humboldt County knew they were there and even had the dates right.
Another government official who had been passing out misinformation on what the feds mission was prior to the June 24th raid in Southern Humboldt, tried to play off the fact that their operation wasn't a secret to anyone in the area.
As far as secrets go this was too big to elude cyber talk coming from informed sources and observers with blogs. There was a lot of paranoia on the internet, and every indoor grower in Humboldt County probably panicked at the thought of a sudden visit from the DEA.
We'll never know how many growers decided to pull up their precious pot plants in a blind panic over the last two weeks. It's safe to say some did however. Perhaps the panic worked in the feds favor if you consider the end results.
One of the most persistents rumors was that PG&E was sharing customers bills with the feds. This one is a case of part wrong and part right. PG&E doesn't just hand out customer bills for anyone to examine. They do however, yield to warrants which, of course, the feds had. Their official line (as of this writing) was that they were just after one big growing operation.
The ripple effect of private growers shutting down their operations in a panic has to have the feds smiling. I can't help thinking that the blogs were two-edged swords. Yes, the alarm went out to all marijuana growers, but it also hurt those who panicked and pulled their plants for no reason.
Humboldt County was outed by magazines like High Times decades ago. All you have to do while visiting other states, or even abroad, is to say, ""I'm from Humboldt County," and they immediately think marijuana. You might as well have a pot patch sewn on your forehead.
I still think that secrets are interesting and will always be with us for a whole slew of reasons. Right now I'm betting that there's a lot of people shaking their heads and thinking about the difference between hearing about a secret, or a rumor. Secrets, like rumors, don't have to be true. Their just something that is kept from you.
As It Stands, it's no secret that our local economy is boosted by local marijuana growers who spend their money in the county.

We ran with the story on about June 17th on KGOE 1480. I got it from the Humboldt Hearald and called the Red Lion where I got the manager. He said he still had rooms for the dates he was supposedly booked up. I went online to their web site and tried to book a room for the week the DEA was supposed to be here and it said they were all full. That contridiction led me to run with the story with full credit to the Humboldt Hearald. We got calls right away and the rest is history.

Cardinals place OLB Woodley on IR, sign DT Bryant
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Cardinals have placed outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley on season-ending injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle and signed longtime Seahawks defensive tackle Red Bryant.
Woodley appeared in all 10 games, mostly as a starter, before being injured Sunday night against Cincinnati. The nine-year NFL veteran had 14 tackles, four solo, and one sack.
The 6-foot-4, 323-pound Bryant started all 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars last season, when he had 22 tackles, one forced fumble and two tackles for loss. Before that, he was a fixture on Seattle's defensive line and a member of the Seahawks' Super Bowl championship team in the 2013 season.
Bryant said he was in his Texas hometown preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family when he got a call from the Cardinals on Wednesday. The team flew him to Arizona that evening, worked him out Thursday morning, signed him to a contract and he practiced with his new teammates Thursday.
''To have a guy of high caliber, we all know what his history is,'' defensive coordinator James Bettcher said. ''He's a physical hard guy to move, has played winning football, understands what it takes to win and can help reinforce that winning culture here that we're building.''
Bryant adds needed depth with three defensive linemen nursing injuries. Frostee Rucker (ankle), Cory Redding (ankle), Ed Stinson (groin) have not practiced this week.
Bryant said he always had respect for the Cardinals when he was with the Seahawks, noting that Arizona was the only team to win in Seattle that Super Bowl championship season.
After leaving Jacksonville, Bryant said, he had a chance to sign with New England.
''A great organization,'' Bryant said, ''I was just in a bad head space at the time and I really thought I wanted to retire. I really had a heart-to-heart with my wife who convinced me to give it one more shot.''
He was with Buffalo in training camp but was released by the Bills on Sept. 5.
''I wasn't in the best shape and couldn't take advantage of the opportunity,'' Bryant said.
He said he's in decent shape now, but not in the best football shape.
''The only way you get in football shape is by playing,'' he said, ''but I'm in good enough shape that they feel comfortable giving me the opportunity.''
Bryant said he had pretty much accepted that he would sit out this season then give it another shot next year, then the Cardinals called. Suddenly, he had the chance to join an 8-2 team with the No. 3 ranked defense in the NFL and a three-game lead in the NFC West.
''To be 8-2, that's a testament to the character of this locker room, the coaching staff and the whole organization,'' Bryant said. ''I'm just coming in and trying to learn as fast as I can to find a role wherever i can. .... If I'm put out there, I'm just going to do what I always did, play my heart out.''
Bryant has appeared in 80 NFL games, 71 as a starter, with 142 tackles (93 solos), 4 1/2 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions,

Dear Buddha,
Now that I've started working more, I miss you more.
I realized my cap was 3-4 hours with you at a stretch. Maximum.
I'm just not built that way. The way that do a whole day.
The way that be happy keeping a home.
I'm sorry Buddha. I can't give you a mum like that.
But you chose me, so I'm guessing you're okay with it.
Darling Buddha. I miss you. On my way to Southern Cross station when I go down an escalator, I miss you.
When I see mums walking with their prams, I miss you.
When there are just the 3 of us, all adults at home, I miss you.
When I sit around, waiting for my next meeting and I browse through videos of you, I miss you.
When tasting a new dish, I miss you.
And Buddha,
That is a good thing.

What Is Window Wax Made Of?
No matter what you use, it seems like those streaks still show up on your windows. Maybe a product known as window wax, a once popular glass cleaner and polisher, is your answer. But careful consumers may want to know the ingredients.
Window wax, also known as glass wax or glass polish, was made popular by Harold Schafer, founder of the Gold Seal Company, in 1945. He originally founded the company to sell floor wax, but it was his glass wax formula that brought him success when it began selling nationally in 1948.
Window wax, similar to other types of cleaning wax, is made up of what is known as a polymer, which is an extremely large molecule made up of several small molecules. These are typically manufactured and not found naturally. The typical ingredients for a wax of this type are polymers known as polybutadiene, polybutene, and polyisobutylene.
Window wax can be used to clean windows and to help remove dirt and other particles that may have gotten lodged in the surface of a window. It also leaves windows with a smoother surface when properly applied.

Due to COVID-19, this class will be held virtually. Please use the links below to contact the trainer for more details.
Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) course is a 2-day advanced Scrum Master class designed to support Scrum Masters in their professional development. The PSM II course is intended for Scrum Masters with at least one year of experience who are looking to grow their knowledge and abilities as a Scrum Master. This course is one step in that journey. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) certification exam.
Due to travel and gathering restrictions regarding the Corona COVID-19 virus, we have redesigned the PSM II to enable maximum learning experience in a virtual environment. We have designed the virtual PSM II in such a way to maximize interactions with virtual limitations.
Unlike the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) which focuses on how to use Scrum, the Scrum framework and the role of the Scrum Master, PSM II is an advanced course helping students to understand the stances that characterize an effective Scrum Master and servant-leader while diving deep into how they serve the Development Team, Product Owner and organization. The course then teaches students about related practices and skills to enable them to have the right types of conversations and how to apply them to become better Scrum
What You Will Learn
Over the 2 days, students will learn about areas critical to growing as a successful Scrum Master such as how the principles and values of Scrum help guide Scrum Masters in the decisions they make and how the Scrum Master can help change the environment of Scrum Teams, creating an environment for agility to thrive. The Scrum Master role is complex and often, a Scrum Master must be able to apply different stances in order to be effective, such as:
- The Scrum Master as a Teacher
- The Scrum Master as a Coach & Mentor
- The Scrum Master as a Facilitator
- The Scrum Master as a Change Agent
As a Scrum Master, being able to identify, and effectively apply, which stance would benefit your team the most depending on the situation or circumstance could prove to be the key to the success of your team.
As a Scrum Master, part of your role is to help management and other stakeholders across your organization understand the benefits of Scrum and Agile. Therefore, it is imperative that you have the information and background that is needed to gain credibility in order to be an effective change agent. Throughout the class, your PST will provide stories, exercises, facilitation techniques (such as "Liberating Structures"), resources and more.
There will also be time in class for the Professional Scrum Trainer (PST) to provide coaching on challenges that you and your classmates may be experiencing today or may in the future.
During this training we'll also be introducing practical coaching techniques, methods and practices to help you think, listen, talk and act as a coach to help your team and organisation.
Who Should Attend
The Professional Scrum Master II course is an advanced course specifically designed for experienced Scrum Masters who have a thorough understanding of the Scrum framework. It is particularly beneficial for those people with at least one year of Scrum Master experience.

BAFFLING MINI-SERIES about the discovery of a mini-society living in a cruise liner on the bottom of the sea since World War Two. CHRISTOPHER LEE, "brilliant but mad", is in charge. Doctor JEAN MARSH wanders by, "conflicted" by euthanising policy of all officers on the ship: no-one allowed to be too old, too sick or too disabled. Hence one woman tumbles dramatically off a balcony, becomes lame, and FRANK "Riddler" GORSHIN bumps her off with a hypodermic. One scene was filmed from the perspective of a scuba diver discovering the boat, clocking the Riddler and Co, then copping a bullet in the head, right through the mask.

A preview of EDU's Fiscal 4Q17 ending May 31, 2017
China's New Oriental Education and Technology Group (or "New Oriental", NYSE:EDU) is the largest provider of private educational services in China. Along with TAL Education Group (NYSE:XRS), New Oriental has lead the way in China's fast-growing K-12 after-school tutoring services. China's K-12 population is growing along with household spending on education, providing companies like New Oriental a prime environment for growth.
EDU is also one of the more popular Chinese stocks traded on the NYSE. Our research team tracks the company's sales very closely on behalf of our clients, using offline spending data of consumers in China. We deliver monthly order intake numbers within a week after the end of the month, providing our clients a significant forward-looking view regarding the company's revenue. This week we take a look at what our data is predicting for EDU's quarter ending May 31, 2017, which the company is slated to report on July 18, 2017.
Using our Chinese consumer spending data, we attempt to predict EDU's future performance by providing investors with a view of the company's actual sales to consumers. Tracking sales of a company's goods or services directly to consumers is what Sandalwood Advisors does best – we provide investors with a future view of sales, often well ahead of the company's own guidance. For many companies that we track, what we report in terms of sales trends is very close to what company reports a month or more later.
However, it's important to note that for some companies, actual sales during a particular quarter is not always what the company reports as revenue. EDU is one of these companies, which requires us to do a bit more work to predict its future performance. EDU doesn't record sales as revenue until the student actually takes the class. This means what ends up recognized as revenue is only sales that correspond to classes taken in the current quarter.
Sales for classes paid for in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until the student takes the class. Therefore what the company actually recognizes as revenue is a combination of classes paid for in advance but taken in the current quarter, plus classes paid for and taken in the same quarter. In order to adjust for this distinction, we compare what we track in actual sales, or "order intake", to what the company reports as revenue + change in the deferred revenue balance. We call this order intake.
*Order intake = Recognized revenue + Change in deferred revenue balance
Strong order intake has positive implications for the quarter, as it either means the company will recognize more revenue, or increase its deferred revenue balance. In this case, our data shows that EDU will report a meaningful positive comp in terms of order intake for the quarter ending May 31, 2017.
However, this isn't the full story. Since we have data on a monthly basis, we can track order intake on a monthly basis as well. And what we're seeing in order intake is worth highlighting:
Our data shows very strong order intake for April 2017. This means the company booked a huge amount of classes in April, likely to be taken during the summer season. However, it also appears that the company pulled some sales forward to April from May, resulting in a flat y/y comparison for May order intake. It will be very interesting to see what the company's order intake is for June.
We will release our numbers for EDU's June order intake to clients by July 7th. To be the first on the street to see the June figures, or our coverage of other stocks in the China education sector, please contact us here.

Remember when Lady Gaga was virtually infallible? When critics and fans bowed at her altar, and even detractors couldn't begrudge her the stranglehold of influence (and if not necessarily influence, definitely uncontested saturation) on pop culture? I ask if you remember because it seems that for Gaga, that's all we have left: the memories.
No one gives a fuck about Lady Gaga anymore. Last week, she released her 11-minute, 46-second epic "Artpop Film" for the track "G.U.Y," and almost no one gave a shit. The video has just over 23 million views at the time of writing—a number that's likely to grow, but based on the performance of her last video epic, "Marry The Night," it won't likely be by much—but also one that's disappointing for Gaga in the wake of contemporaries like Katy Perry and Beyoncé, whose videos have amassed 165 million ("Dark Horse") and 129 million ("Drunk In Love") views respectively. Even Jennifer Lopez's recently released video "I Luh Ya Papi" has pulled in 17 million views, and J.Lo doesn't even have a fun nickname for her fans. Considering none of these other videos are a performance epic to rival Gaga's, which was filmed at Hearst Castle, that's got to be pretty frustrating for the Gaga-sphere. I mean, all Bey did was dance on a beach.
( Read more...Collapse )
All of the above smooshed together reeks of desperation. Her questionable creative partnerships, her desire to shock simply to be shocking, the objective shittiness of her music—everything comes together to pull back a curtain to a Gaga that's hanging on by the skin of her teeth, bloody nails digging into whatever surface is soft enough for them to sink into. It's hard to stay relevant, but it's harder still to do so with such a bold and conspicuous personality as Gaga's. And instead of staying calm in the riptide, Gaga's actions betray the opposite—that she's thrashing about, taking in lungfulls of water. She's finally succumbed to the death knell of her career, and in what are perhaps her final moments, like a monkey, she's flinging shit at a wall, praying in between swings that something will stick.

Above the counter at eCigsSource in Orlando, three large blackboards tout dozens of e-cigarette flavors, including "Fruit Loops," bubble gum and PB&J.
Although the sweetness might appeal to kids, no one younger than 18 is allowed to buy electronic cigarettes at the Audubon Park shop, said Scott Van de Bogert, one of the owners of eCigsSource. On Tuesday, that policy will become law in Florida.
Gov. Rick Scott this month signed a bill making it illegal to sell e-cigarettes to minors and for minors to possess them. Florida joins states, including Oklahoma, Kentucky, Connecticut and Delaware, whose governors recently signed similar laws.
"Unfortunately, the FDA — the federal government — has not moved fast enough," said state Rep. Frank Artiles, R-Miami, who sponsored the House bill after he saw a 12-year-old boy with an e-cigarette at a West Palm Beach water park. "There's no control whatsoever of the chemicals that are put in those e-cigarettes."
E-cigarettes are battery-powered vaporizers that include a heating element and a tank filled with a "juice" mixture that contains nicotine and flavoring. Many e-cigarettes are shaped like regular cigarettes, but they also are manufactured to look like pipes, cigars and even hand grenades.
The amount of nicotine that users inhale — or "vape" — through a mouthpiece can be increased, decreased or dialed down to zero. When "vapers" exhale, they emit a small cloud of vapor that smells like whatever flavor they chose.
The increasingly popular e-cigarettes are sold online, in convenience stores, at mom-and-pop shops and even at a new kiosk at Orlando Fashion Square mall, where some batteries double as cellphone chargers.
Local e-cigarette retailers who were interviewed all said they already refuse to sell to minors, either because they don't think it's right or because they anticipated the upcoming government restrictions.
"We are self-regulating at this point," said Jeff Stevens, 25, owner of CP Vapors, which has been in business for nearly six months on Edgewater Drive north of College Park. "A new regulation's not really going to affect things."
A spokeswoman for 7-Eleven agreed. She said the convenience-store chain trains employees and franchisees to keep e-cigarettes behind the counter and verify buyers' ages as they would for tobacco, lottery tickets and alcohol.
Alvin Nguyen, 17, a Winter Springs High School student and a non-smoker, said he doesn't have a problem with the age restrictions.
"I don't think it should be legal [for underage users] because it still contains nicotine," he said.
Jordan Knobler, 19, agreed. The Florida State University student said he started vaping when he was 18 and rarely has smoked regular cigarettes since.
"I enjoy smoking, but this is better for me," said Knobler, who lives in Winter Park and is a regular customer at the 8-month-old eCigsSource. "I don't smell bad. It's not offensive to people."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has proposed regulations that would ban free samples and sales to minors, says the risks and benefits of e-cigarettes have not been established.
Manufacturers and sellers, however, say e-cigarettes are safer than regular cigarettes and a good way to kick the smoking habit.
"Nicotine is clearly not the problem," said Ray Story, chief executive officer of the nonprofit Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association. "The smoke is the problem. E-cigarettes are only vapor, not smoke. We're providing the adult tobacco user with a safe alternative."
The American Lung Association in Florida doesn't agree, but it calls the new law a first step.
"I think the one thing we can all agree on is we want to keep these products out of the hands of children," said Brenda Olsen, the association's chief operating officer. "You could use the product and have no idea how much nicotine you're inhaling. Nicotine is highly toxic."
A panel of U.S. senators this month grilled presidents of two e-cigarette companies at a hearing on e-cigarette marketing and children. Afterward, the Smoke-Free Alternatives Trade Association said its members oppose "overly restrictive" rules. It denies marketing to minors.
At stake is public health — and a burgeoning business that currently has $2.5 billion in annual sales in the U.S.
"The fact is, you can't buy a traditional cigarette under the age of 19, and these products should be no different," said Majority Leader Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, who sponsored the Florida Senate bill. "Children develop addictions quickly. To develop addictions to e-cigarettes is not healthy."

On October 24, 2018 our legislators, Mike Holcomb and Eddie Cheatham visited Star City School District along with The Arkansas Department of Education Teacher of the Year, Randi House. The meeting began with a conversation and discussion with administrators about issues facing public schools in Arkansas Education. Two of the great challenges public schools face is declining support for facilities funding and huge gaps in salaries for certified staff in different areas of the state. Superintendent Jon Laffoon stated, "The research done by OEP at the University of Arkansas shows a correlation to lagging salaries in the Arkansas Delta and teacher recruitment and retention. Southeast Arkansas is well behind in teacher starting salaries and that can lead to achievement gaps when we can't find teachers."
The legislators, ATOY and administration also discussed many of the programs and activities that Star City Schools are offering to students. One of the discussion points was enhanced transportation funding which is provided to rural school districts due to excessive travel in large area districts. Senator Cheatham was a advocate of rural districts and helped get the funding passed for districts like Star City. Representative Holcomb acknowledged Star City is well known statewide for one of the top STEM programs in Arkansas. The group concluded the day by visiting several classrooms at each campus. They visited with students and staff and got to see first hand the great work being done in Star City.

Jim Dalrymple, reporting on a ChangeWave survey of over 4,000 North Americans:
The survey of 4,270 primarily North American consumers shows an "unprecedented degree of consumer interest" in the iPhone 5. Results show that one-in-three people are "Likely" to purchase the new iPhone, while 19% are "Very Likely" and 13% said they were "Somewhat Likely" to buy the iPhone 5.
To put these numbers in perspective, Changewave did the same survey when the iPhone 4S was released and 10% said they were "Very Likely" and 11.5% said they were "Somewhat Likely" to buy.

"Secret Codes" and Hidden Features
Hacking for "Secret Codes" and other hidden phone features.
Skill Level: Easy
Do NOT post general questions/requests on how to do
this or that, they will not be answered, simply
because we don't know yet. Rather try to find out
by yourself and share your results.
To find all "Secret Codes", special properties and other hidden phone features
and settings, used in the GT-I9300. The secret codes are not so secret, but
are often used to activate and manipulate many settings, such as debug modes,
network connections, factory test modes etc. It is an unfortunate choice of
words but we will stick to this definition nonetheless for simplicity, since
it is also used in the source code by Samsung and AOS. Do not confuse secret
codes with VSC (Vertical Service Codes), USSD (Unstructured Supplementary
Service Data) or other MMI (Man Machine Interface) codes.
Although there are many "standard" codes common to many Samsung phones, they
do vary to some extent. This is because their functionality often depend on
the particular hardware, in particular the baseband processor (aka radio, DSP,
BP or CP) and the multiplexer chips that switches the various internal USB
paths, for example between MHL, BP and AP.
This is an informative reference thread on these features. If you have
relevant additional information you'd like to share, please post it here.
From the Samsung Galaxy S2 experience we have gained the following
understanding when it come to the Factory/Service Mode menus and the
PhoneUtils applications. We are still to work out if this is still true for
the SGS3.
But first it is worth to note, that due to the more complicated, but better
organized phone applications in ICS, the way to enter secret codes have
changed from GB versions. Now all secret codes have to be prefixed with
"*#*#", followed by <code> and post fixed with "#*#*". [Note-1] However,
according to the GT-I9300 Service Manual, there are two codes that should work
without post- and pre-fixes. They are *#1234# (version) and *2767*3855#
(Factory reset! It will wipe your phone instantly, NO warnings, no going back,
no way to cancel.) [Note-2]==================================================This same effect can be accomplished directly on the command line, with a
Newbie Practice Box
Go to your phone dialer and "dial" the following string:
This will trigger the Service Menu.
direct URI broadcast call to the application receiver via:
Second, it is essential to know that the actual program code (readCode:am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://1111
assembly/machine code) for the Engineering / Service Mode menu, is actually
located in the baseband processor firmware. What you actually see when you
enter this menu, is just a java based wrapper application, that make direct
function calls through various entry points, in the baseband kernel/firmware.
What does it mean? When you enter a specific "secret code", the wrapper
application (e.g. ServiceMenu.App) deciphers the code to a particular menu
entry in the baseband processor, where it is executed and whose result is
output to the wrapper application.
Third. Apart from hardware differences, because of the baseband firmware
dependance, the set of working secret codes will differ somewhat from your
location, depending on:
- Your Modem firmware
- Your AOS version (ICS 4.0.1, 4.0.4 etc.)
- Your CSC version (Regional codes)
Special Notes
[Note-1] This can be seen in the handleSecretCode() function in the SpecialCh****quenceMgr.java code.
[Note-2] These need testing and confirmation since they clearly contradict [Note-1].
[Note-3] Apparently the Samsung Galaxy S3 will come in at least two versions:
- The GT-I9300 (FCC-ID: A3LGTI9300 )
- The SCH-I939 (FCC-ID: A3LSCHI939 ) [Possibly the LTE version]

Skip to comments.Democrats threaten to withhold defense votes over wall
Posted on 09/11/2019 3:02:16 PM PDT by jazusamo
Senate Democrats are threatening to withhold their votes on a spending bill for the Pentagon unless Republicans agree to block President Trump from repurposing defense funds for his wall on the Mexican border, a tactic hes employed in recent months.
Democrats on Thursday will offer an amendment in committee to block Trump from reprogramming defense funds for his wall.
There will likely be some amendments offered, and my vote on final passage depends on the fate of those amendments, said Sen. Dick Durban (Ill.), the top Democrat on the appropriations subcommittee on defense.
While the bill could squeak through the committee with GOP support, Democratic votes will be needed for the measure to win Senate approval. It doesnt portend very well for whats going to happen on the floor, because we all know that without bipartisan support, appropriation bills are very difficult to call and pass, Durbin said.
Political wrangling has not been limited to the defense bill.
Committee work on two other spending bills were scrapped as Democrats prepared amendments blocking President Trumps abortion policies. Republicans say that violates a deal to keep controversial policy riders, or poison pills, out of the spending bills.
Both sides agreed there would be no poison pills. No partisan wrenches thrown into the gears, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell lamented on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, yesterday brought some disturbing signals that Democrats may be rethinking that commitment, he added
The abortion battles affect the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education spending bill, and the appropriations measure for State and Foreign Operations.
That leaves the typically non-controversial Energy and Water bill and so-called 302 b allocations, which divvy up total spending among the 12 annual appropriations bills.
But Democrats are complaining about those measures too, arguing that Republicans have shuffled resources to pay for portions of Trumps proposed wall and backfill accounts he has emptied for that purpose.
Were not going to vote for a budget that is partisan, attempted to be jammed down our throat, that puts an additional $12 billion in the wall. Forget that, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on the Senate floor Wednesday.
Without a change, Democrats could withhold support from all the bills.
With the 302b allocations as they are today, I am not going to support them, said Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.).
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the committees vice chairman, is planning on offering an amendment proposing a different set of 302 bs, but barring an agreement with Republicans, it stands no chance of passage.
We like them like they are, said Sen. Richard Shelby, the committees chairman.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a committee member who has been known to cross the aisle and faces a tough reelection in 2020, said Democrats have not said what their preferred spending levels are.
The Democrats have not seen fit to share with me at least the 302 Bs that they are going to propose, she said Wednesday morning. If they were trying to advocate you would think they would let us know what they were.
But even if the bills pass through committee on a party line basis, appropriators could work something out before bills come to the floor, noted Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.)
I think were going to continue to negotiate, she said.
Members of Congress are clear that they have little chance of getting any spending bills signed into law by the September 30th deadline, and are preparing a stopgap measure into mid-November to prevent a government shutdown.
Just dedicate 5 billion specifically for the wall then.
When have they ever been serious about our security?
And it was just Saturday they were sooo concerned about the funding.
"The well-being of American troops is the core responsibility of every commander in the military, yet the Commander-in-Chief is shirking that duty so he can advance his own political agenda."
Then no funding. Let them run on open borders and no defense.
They are insane and dangerous, literally.
Shut the government down.
Really. What was your first clue?
Some Dems might want to stand for re-election on the platform that they de-funded national defense, but I bet not nearly enough to make any difference.
Yep, their political BS strategy changes on a daily basis for what they think is good for them.
Send in the Army to watch the vote. (Rubicon Crossing meme)
And what does the boss, AOC, have to say about this?
"Democrats threaten to withhold defense votes over wall"
Go ahead! Just another boost for PDJT in 2020.
Just so I understand this.
$3.6 Billion to protect our Nation's Border out of a Defense Budget of $725 Billion (and a total Federal Budget of $4.4 Trillion Dollars) will hurt American Troops?
How so, no more Snickers Bars in the Mess Hall?
Unfortunately most Americans are too dumb or disinterested to realize what a bunch of bastards they have in Congress, and the importance of voting about 90% of them out of office.
Who would replace them? Do it by forced conscription. The average person whose name was drawn at random would do a better job. Especially since they wouldn't want to be there in the first place.
The best candidate to serve in Congress? Someone who doesn't want the job.
Let them do it
Let them do it
Lets keep this FReepathon moving and wrap it up, Folks!
It can pass committee with no Democrat votes.
Leadership agreed to not add any poison pills to the appropriations bills.
We'll have to see how good their hand shake deal holds up.
Agree. I encourage the rats to stand and fight for that hill.
