Posted on 03/03/2013 5:12:49 AM PST by Kaslin
There is a rule in Politics 2013 that's evident in the flap about a White House aide's maybe threatening or not threatening Washington Post veteran reporter Bob Woodward. The rule: The more superficial the brouhaha the bigger its impact.
What public figures say is more important than what they do, because cable TV and political blogs can cover a mud fight more cheaply and more easily than they can a real story.
Quick synopsis: Woodward has reported doggedly on the White House's role in putting "sequester" cuts -- $85 billion this year -- in the 2011 Budget Control Act. Last week, as Woodward was writing that President Barack Obama was moving the goal post in negotiations on those cuts, a White House aide yelled at him on the phone for a half-hour, Woodward says. Economic adviser Gene Sperling later sent him an email to apologize for raising his voice. Sperling also wrote, "I think you will regret staking out that claim."
The White House says no threat was intended. I believe that. I also see why Woodward might perceive the exchanges as a threat -- not to harm him physically but to deny him access. Without access, Woodward cannot write best-selling books.
Why am I writing about what Ron Fournier, National Journal editor-in-chief, described as "a silly distraction to a major problem" -- Washington's failure to lead under a budget deadline? Because this could be a turning point -- the moment when the White House press corps starts pushing back.
As Fournier wrote, the Woodward flap is indicative of the "increasingly toxic relationship between media and government." Things have gotten so ugly that in the midst of the Woodward flap, Fournier put an anonymous White House source on notice that if he continued to send him emails filled with "vulgarity, abusive language" and you'll-regret-it talk, Fournier would feel free to print said missives with attribution.
It would be nice if a more substantive dispute than the White House's treatment of Woodward sparked this mild rebellion. Think Benghazi. Yet there is a substantive dispute behind the fluffy fight.
As Politico reported, the White House "has, with great success, fudged the facts. The administration has convinced a majority of the country that Republicans are more to blame by emphasizing that Republicans voted for the plan. Which they did -- after Obama conceived it."
In an October presidential debate, Obama claimed that "the sequester is not something that I've proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed. It will not happen." PolitiFact rated that claim "mostly false." Obamaland's misinformation cookie is crumbling.
By Thursday's White House news briefing, the mutual disdain between the press corps and spokesman Jay Carney bubbled over. Reporters questioned dubious administration claims about layoffs attributed to sequester cuts. Ed Henry of Fox News asked why the White House had held a closed-to-the-press swearing in for Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.
Henry also is president of the White House Correspondents' Association, so Carney used the question to crack a joke about the group's complaint about reporters' lack of access to the president during a recent golfing vacation. Keep it up, White House, and the press corps will wear your scorn as a badge of honor.
Most reporters do not even know who Woodward is. They may remember the name from some class in journalism school, but nothing more.
Who cares if the White House devours him? It is right because nobody should criticize Obama.
This is what happens when socialists take control. Some of their own revolt at the horror and are the first sent to die.
"If it bleeds, it leads!"
Time for the White House press to report and get their collective noses off this president's coccyx. It is beginning to affect his golf swing.
Look how far we've come from having a press corps that exercises some degree of objectivity. It's like the excitement a thirsting man gets when crossing a desert and he sees a mirage on the horizon.
What they don't know is who Obama is....It's called bootlicking....or die....
This abuse crosses party lines:
"Former Clinton aide, columnist joins Woodward in claiming White House threat"
(Lanny Davis has been a high ranking Dem for many many years and he received same treatment)
Obozo's minions are evil. He and they serve the father-of-lies.
Bob Woodward is a modern-day Leon Trotsky.
Really? And what does that mean? No more after date "I love you" texts? No more reach arounds? Does the one stream media actually want an apology this time before they forgive him? Maybe if you gave him another Nobel he'd be nicer to you?
I've never seen such a love fest between the press and politicians as now with obama, and that's after eight unwanted years of blue dress, voter voyeurism watching Clinton getting getting done by the press corpse and debating the meaning of "is".
Perhaps it is finally time for some serious presidential bleeding
Papers might spark a comeback if there is a presidential bleeding lead
Perhaps Obama has jumped the shark.
He should do it anyway!
Why would he feel the need to protect the dirtbag from the taxpayers?
LOL. Now that's funny right there.
No, Obama has not jumped the shark.
No matter how he treats the WH press, when (if) his neck is actually on the line, the WH will make a few overtures and the press will be right back in his camp.
If a crunch time occurs, they will not abandon him. It's all fantasy to hope that would occur. I believe that we could have a few reporters grabbed by DHS for some BS subversion charges and it wouldn't matter.
They most CERTAINLY know who he is.
These reporters may be jealous, but ALL of them would like to BE Woodword or Bernstein.
Cut off that chance, by denying access, and you destroy the hopes of the "little" journalists.
They will FINALLLY turn—and it's about time!

Lover scorned.
With Democrats, the press bears all the traits of battered person syndrome.
I'd like to believe this, except for the matters of "the moment when the White House press corps starts" and "pushing back".
No less than Helen Thomas harrumphed vigorously back in 2009 about how the "journalists" in an upcoming press event were going to be called in a predetermined order.
And recall a few weekends ago when they were moaning and wailing about having no access during his golf weekend with Tiger Woods. Ready for the pushback? The first and only question after all that: "Who won?"
I may be wrong, but I think the "little" journalists are more than content to scrounge for the scraps underneath the table of a Democrat President.
They only covet the best 5 star feast on the planet when it's a Republican President. Look how voraciously they worked to bring down Bush and Cheney.
Ah here we go, Chip Reid of CBS and Helen Thomas vs Robert Gibbs in July, 2009. If you've forgotten what a douchebag Gibbs is, this should refresh your memory.
"...when the WH press corps starts pushing back."
When pigs fly.
Dreamer. Woodward is outnumbered by 25,000 to 1. They have already voted him and his story irrelevant.
Now, let's get back to talking about how the GOP devised and rammed the sequester into law against the president's wishes and how it is going to cause 170,000,000 Americans to lose their jobs.
The news media's credibility is at an all time low. The lower the news media's credibility goes the lower the presidents credibility goes.
What better way for King Zippo to be able to lie with impunity than create and hype a phony story that the news media is being threatened if they report his lies.
Hype it up enough and pretty soon people will believe if the news media would report this insignificant lie certainly they wouldn't cover up something of real importance.
This is starting to smell like something really big is about to hit the fan and the WH is going to need people to believe the press wouldn't cover up his lies.
Hmmm...he's usually on the panel at FNS. Not this week.
Was watching CNN while ago (at McDonald's - not by choice) and they were making it sound like Woodward was exaggerating the threat. I would believe Charles Manson over Obama and his administration.
I'm not buying it; Benghazi alone dwarfs Watergate, yet the Hussein media won't touch it. When the NYT puts the timeline on the front page and points out the outright lies from the admin, maybe. When Mika and Joe scoff at the absurdity of the "video made them riot" meme. I might concede a shift. Until folks are crucified for Benghazi this article means nothing..
and the went into overdrive with Sarah Palin. I have never seen anything like that in my life.
So why DID the White House hold a closed swearing in for Lew?
Normally I'd agree with you...ideologically that's true.
However, there is the matter of ratings to consider. DINO/liberal media is losing viewers/readers and FOX-like outlets are gaining. This is because viewers sense more truth from FOX.
If the lib media senses that their hype propoganda isn't working anymore they may begin to turn against Obama just to stay in business. I do believe they have sensed such a time approaching and if they feel they have reached a point of no return...look out for the exits IMO.
Woodward brought down Nixon by revealing a cover up about a two bit burglary by some campaign operatives. Clearly Woodward has far more damning information about Obama. The question is would Woodward be willing to regain his reputation and do the same to Obama? Normally I would say no as a card carrying liberal the routine is to defend Obama no matter what. However, Obama made the mistake of threatening Woodward. That might steel his resolve, but I have little hope.
"Benghazi alone dwarfs Watergate"
Dead On! I don't mind in the least Woodward getting knocked around over his reporting even if he was trying to set the sequester record straight at Barky's expense. I'm glad he is getting back some of his medicine and lampooned and discredited. Nixon must be enjoying it big time.
Now if Woodward would get some real balls and go after the Benghazi story like he did Watergate, I'd give him some journalistic cred.
Just proves once again how socialists turn on their own if anything gets in the way of their State-ist ideals or impugns their glorious leader.
Woodward has opened the door for any trace of self respect remaining in the American-American "press."
But are there any? Other than a very few, and dismissing those who report for FOX, since they are dismissed as "right wingers."
Sharyle Atkisson at CBS, but she can't get a minute on her own network, and is reduced to sending out Tweets!
In 1972 Woodward and Carl Bernstein, two Washington Post junior reporters, reported on the failed burglary of the Democratic campaign headquarters at the Watergate Hotel in D.C. by White House operatives. Their subsequent reporting was a key factor in the resignation of Richard Nixon in 1974. These events persuaded thousands of young American leftists to enroll in journalism school and flood newspapers, TV and radio stations with job applications. Eventually these activists displaced more traditional journalists and in time they moved into management. Today they control most of American news media which means they control the message. This is the legacy of Woodward and Bernstein.
Bump for later...
If Obama and thugs are threatening the press that's A BIGGER STORY than Benghazi... it's tells the totalitarian nature of this administration. Ask the people forced to starve under Stalin if that type of thing mattered...mattered more than the daily 'tractor production numbers'. It matters. Fournier is right on this and the twit complaining is wrong..

The Environment

Jim Abbott Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, Kootenay—Columbia is one of the most fantastic areas on earth with majestic mountain ranges, picturesque lakes, lush valleys, natural hot springs and charming historic communities. Environmental protection is our priority. Living in the mountains at the source of the mighty Columbia River, we appreciate the pristine water and air.
We note that Canada's new government has replaced environmental talk with real environmental action through: a chemicals management plan to regulate potentially harmful substances; Canada's first ever clean air act tackling greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution; a biofuels plan; $2 billion in three new ecoenergy initiatives; and exempting donations of ecologically sensitive land from capital gains tax.
While other parties offered Canadians more empty platitudes, Canada's new government is taking real action to clean up our air, land and water. Kootenay residents have struck a healthy balance between work and play, respecting our spectacular natural environment.
Hrant Dink

2 p.m.
Jim Karygiannis Scarborough—Agincourt, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my sorrow and condemnation of the brutal unprovoked murder of Turkish Armenian journalist, Mr. Hrant Dink, on January 19, 2007 in Istanbul, Turkey. I wish to extend my sympathies to the family of Mr. Dink and to the Armenian community throughout the world. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
Mr. Dink was an internationally respected journalist, intellectual and a prominent Armenian voice in Turkey. He believed there could be understanding, dialogue and peace among peoples.
During his distinguished career, Mr. Dink was outspoken against the state, advocating the opinion that Turkey committed genocide between 1915 and 1917 when it forced a mass evacuation from the Ottoman Empire and the related deaths of 1.5 million Armenians. He became victim 1.5 million and one. Mr. Dink's life's work will no doubt serve as an inspiration to other writers around the world who use the power of the pen as a weapon against brutality.
I also add my voice to the thousands at his funeral who stated, "I am Hrant Dink. I am Armenian".
Jean-Yves Guindon

2 p.m.
Mario Laframboise Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay tribute to Jean-Yves Guindon, a watercolourist in my riding.
During the first Academia XXI gala of the international academy of fine arts of Quebec, held on November 4 in Montreal, Jean-Yves Guindon, a renowned artist in the Petite-Nation region, won the silver Athena prize in the professional category for his watercolour, L'entrée du village.
A number of well-known artists call Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel home and make their living practising their art there. Our communities have found ways to create environments that support artistic creation in various disciplines and have given our artists the opportunity to become regionally, nationally and internationally recognized.
I would like to congratulate Jean-Yves Guindon on his excellent work and on the recognition he has received from his peers by winning the silver Athena prize at the international academy of fine arts of Quebec gala. Bravo.
Jannit Rabinovitch

2:05 p.m.
Denise Savoie Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honour the life of Jannit Rabinovitch who passed away on January 26. A respected community leader and advocate for the marginalized in Victoria, Jannit understood that transformative change was needed to address homelessness, drug addiction and prostitution. She believed that for people to live with dignity and pride we must first empower the voiceless.
Jannit brought together women fleeing violence and with them built Sandi Merriman House. She also co-founded PEERS, an organization that works to prevent marginalized women from disappearing into the night as they did in Vancouver.
While Jannit's death is an immense loss to our community of Victoria, her life is an inspiration for those who continue to work to eradicate injustice.

Betty Hinton Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, BC
Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity today on the first anniversary of the signing of the Afghanistan Compact to recognize all the Canadian women and men working in Afghanistan. The military, diplomats, police, including the RCMP, development and aid workers continue the noble Canadian tradition of taking an active role in bringing stability and peace to areas that have seen turmoil and upheaval.
We are there with 36 other nations at the request of the democratically elected government of Afghanistan and as part of a UN sanctioned and NATO led mission to help build a stable democratic and self-sufficient society.
Canada's overall objectives are being achieved on three fronts: security, development and governance.
Our troops and all Canadians in Afghanistan deserve our support as they work to bring security and democracy to that country.
I know that members of the House join me in saluting them.
National Ethnic Press
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
John Cannis Scarborough Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, last Friday I attended the 30th anniversary of the National Ethnic Press of Canada celebration. Its president, Mr. Thomas Saras, and the organization dedicated the evening in recognition of our Canadian military on its proud history and commending members of the military on the excellent work they do both within Canada and on the international front.
The national ethnic press is a vitally important and essential media organization. Given the diversity of our country, it plays a vital role in informing Canadians from coast to coast to coast of all that is happening in our country and from all corners of the world. That is but one of many reasons that it deserves the government's support.
In closing, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Thomas Saras, his entire executive and the national ethnic press for 30 successful years and wish them many more successful years in the future.
Canadian Forces

Lynne Yelich Blackstrap, SK
Mr. Speaker, recently I completed my sixth annual winter tour of my constituency. Over a three week period I met with constituents in coffee shops and town halls during which the worst blizzard in a half a century struck. As author Wallace Stegner, who knew Saskatchewan weather well, said, "you don't get out of the wind, but learn to lean against it".
Although the mail did not go through, Blackstrap constituents did, braving the cold to meet me where they demonstrated the way they lean, in telling our soldiers how much they appreciate them by signing Blackstrap's banner in support of our troops. We filled six banners with names and places. These banners will go to our troops deployed in Afghanistan.
Blackstrap residents are sending a message to the Canadian armed forces thanking them for their commitment to world security and democratic development. Our troops' tireless efforts are helping Afghanistan to rebuild, one school at a time. Canada has reclaimed its place on the world stage.
Michel G. Bergeron

January 31st, 2007 / 2:05 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, during the XVI International AIDS Conference, media attention focused on an innovative product to prevent the spread of the virus: microbicides, a kind of invisible condom filled with a prophylactic gel and designed to be used by women.
During the conference and later on at the Université Laval's Infectiology Research Centre, I had the honour of meeting the centre's founder and director, a pioneer in the field of microbicides, Dr. Michel Bergeron.
Today, I would like to pay tribute to this outstanding researcher, who won the prestigious Wilder Penfield prize in 2005. I would like to thank this visionary for giving women effective protection against the spread of AIDS. Like the World Health Organization, Dr. Bergeron recognizes that effective prevention depends on developing a method that women can use and control.
I would like to congratulate Dr. Bergeron and thank him for his passion and determination. Congratulations also to his entire team.

Nina Grewal Fleetwood—Port Kells, BC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday Statistics Canada released a report highlighting that the financial situation of new immigrants showed no improvement from 1992 to 2004. This should come as no surprise given that the Liberals were in power. Despite a lot of talk, they just did not get the job done.
While the Liberals froze assistance to help new immigrants read and write for over 12 years and voted against increased funding, we have committed $307 million in settlement funding to help newcomers integrate and excel in Canada. We have cut the right of permanent residence fee in half. We have granted almost 11,000 off-campus work permits to international students. We committed $18 million to establish an agency to address the assessment and recognition of foreign credentials.
When it comes to new Canadians, our government cares and we show we care by delivering real results.
Steven Truscott
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Paul Steckle Huron—Bruce, ON
Mr. Speaker, on September 19, 1959 in the Goderich, Ontario courthouse, Justice Ferguson sentenced Steven Truscott to death. On that day nearly 50 years ago, a child's innocence was stolen and a cloud settled over the Canadian justice system that remains still.
I can remember as I listened live to the sentence. In the years that followed my belief that a miscarriage of justice had occurred grew in leaps and bounds. Public concerns grew equally until finally on October 28, 2004 the Liberal justice minister said that there was reason to believe that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred. With this he referred the matter to the Ontario Court of Appeal.
Earlier today on live national television the court began the process of hearing this matter. I am optimistic that the five justices considering this case will see that there is indeed reason to believe that Mr. Truscott was wrongfully convicted.
I wish Mr. Truscott and his family well as they enter into this process. I look forward to a day when Steven can wake up for the first time in half a century an innocent man.
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, an Afghan I spoke to last week in Kandahar said, "We have made a lot of progress in the past few years, and with your help, we can succeed. If you leave, we will have to start all over again."
I saw our Canadian troops, men and women who have bravely travelled to the far reaches of the world to lend the Afghan people a helping hand. Fathers, mothers, sons and daughters have left their loved ones to secure an area marked by years of conflict, to help the Afghan people take charge of their own future and live in safety.
The road is long and difficult. Without our support and the help of the 36 coalition countries, Afghans will return to the middle ages and a regime of terror that has already begun to spread to North America.
Today, I pay homage to the courage of the civilian and military personnel who are risking their lives to defend peace in Afghanistan. They fill me with pride. To me, they are true Canadian heroes.
Harold Elliott
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, I bring to the attention of all my colleagues in the House of Commons one of Canada's greatest citizens and one of our bravest heroes, Mr. Harold Elliott of Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia.
Harold Elliott is going to receive from the Ambassador of France la Légion d'honneur, France's highest honour, for his efforts in World War II.
Mr. Elliott was born in that wonderful community of Happy Adventure, Newfoundland. He now resides in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia.
During the war he signed up as an underage recruit. He served in the Battle of the Bulge, a member of the only Canadian contingent to do so. He was severely wounded in Normandy, severely wounded in Germany, and spent several years in hospital in Britain and in Montreal. He was a former police officer and police chief in Ontario and Alberta. He now resides in Nova Scotia.
Soon he will be receiving this very great award from the people of France. To Harold Elliott and to all veterans, it is we who salute them and we congratulate Harold on his great award.
Druide Laboratories
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to salute the efforts that a company from Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Laboratoires Druide, is making to create sustainable jobs and reduce unemployment in Kabul, Afghanistan.
With financial support from CIDA's industrial cooperation program, Druide and an Afghan partner have set up a new plant to manufacture liquid soaps for personal and household use. And in keeping with Druide's environmentally friendly approach, the plant is producing certified organic products.
The Canadian-Afghan joint venture, called Florance, currently employs eight Afghan women and eight Afghan men and could expand in the short term.
I want to congratulate CIDA and Druide on their social involvement, which may seem minimal compared to the huge needs in Afghanistan, but is nonetheless extremely important.
Richard Gravel
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Caroline St-Hilaire Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, this evening, many people will gather to mark the retirement of Richard Gravel, a community police officer from Longueuil and resident of the riding of Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher. He will retire after 30 years of service as a police officer. For 23 years, he worked on preventing crime in schools, the community, homes and businesses by responding to the needs of those sectors and providing citizens with the support they needed.
Today, Longueuil, its residents, community agencies and schools are saying farewell to a friend, confidant and protector.
Richard Gravel is known for his professionalism, discipline and devotion. He is an extremely endearing person who always inspired appreciation and respect from the public and his police officer colleagues.
I would like to take this opportunity to express to Officer Gravel how proud I am to represent him in the House of Commons and, on behalf of the people of Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, I wish him a retirement full of happy times with his loved ones.

5 Great Cars for New College Grads
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- They might not have jobs yet, but 2013's college graduates still need wheels to get around -- and here are five great models they (or gift-giving parents) should consider buying.
"These are all affordable, sharp-looking cars with good performance -- and some have a practicality to them as well," says John DiPietro of car-buying site Edmunds.com, which recently named 2013's Best Cars for College Graduates.
Edmunds compiled its fourth-annual list by asking readers to rank some two-dozen 2013 models that cost around $25,000 and offer good looks, a fun driving experience and the kind of features 20-somethings want.
DiPietro says the candidate models included more than just econoboxes, as "not all college graduates are alike. Some business grads need formal-looking cars to take associates at a new job to lunch, while other kids want something sportier."
Ultimately, readers gave high marks to a group of cars DiPietro says are not only good choices for recent grads, but really for any consumer who wants good performance, sharp looks and a modest price. "All of these cars are affordable, nice-looking and fun to drive," he says.
Click below for a look at the models that Edmunds readers gave the most votes for best college-grad cars of 2013. All dollar figures refer to manufacturer's suggested retail prices for base versions of each model:

interested in Asian culture, music and traditions.
In partnership with local community groups, the Seattle Symphony honors and celebrates Seattle's
Asian community with an annual Celebrate Asia event. The concept originated in 2008, through
collaboration with local Asian leaders who were keen to strengthen bonds with the broader

contemporary works, its devotion to the classics, and its extensive recording history. From September
through July, the Symphony is heard live by more than 315,000 people.
The Seattle Symphony has gained international prominence with more than 140 recordings, twelve
GRAMMY® nominations and two Emmys. The 2012–2013 season marks its 110th year and the
second for Music Director Ludovic Morlot.
Award and Performance
The winning composer will receive a $1,000 award and an opportunity to visit Seattle for the world
premiere. The winning score will be premiered by the Seattle Symphony on January 27, 2013, in
Benaroya Hall at the annual Celebrate Asia concert.
All composers born after January 1, 1978, are eligible.
Ludovic Morlot, Seattle Symphony Music Director

Handmade, homemade, and DIY�popsicle recipes to keep on-hand all summer long.
With hot summer days by the pool upon us, and sticky backyard evenings of fireflies and barbecue, we've got our eye on these homemade popsicle recipes. Scrumptious, icy-cold and packed with summertime fruit, these are perfectly appropriate go-to treats for the season�not to mention a fun project to keep little hands busy until it's time for back-to-school shopping. Watermelon and Parsley Popsicles This combination of sweet watermelon and fresh garden herbs�frozen to perfection in a hand-held treat�is the be-all, end-all of summer refreshment, as far as we're concerned. Bright pink pops dotted with vibrant green parsley are a delicious treat for all senses. Raspberries and Cream Popsicles Real heavy cream lends the slightest decadence to these pops, making them an ideal post-barbecue dessert. Tart and sweet thanks to fresh summer berries and homemade simple syrup, and with just enough creamy richness, these popsicles are satisfying, without tipping the scales all the way to heavy. Cranberry Apple Popsicles Cran-apple, traditionally one of autumn's favorite flavor combinations, gets a summertime overhaul when the two are whirled together with simple syrup and a splash of fresh lemon juice, then frozen into warm-weather-ready morsels. Cranberries from the freezer aisle do the trick, and as for the apples, you can either opt to slice and simmer fresh apples, or use jarred applesauce. Options abound. Raspberry Yogurt Popsicles These popsicles come from award-winning Orangette�blogger Molly Wizenburg, who urges using whole-milk yogurt here as opposed to low-fat or non-fat, in order to get the best and creamiest texture and flavor. Other berries work well in the pops, too, but depending on the berry, the amount of sugar may need to be adjusted. Pineapple Orange Popsicles Tangy, tropical and sunny-hued, these frozen pops absolutely scream summer. With just a touch of honey to cut through the tartness of fresh pineapple and orange, these make refreshing fruit popsicles for all occasions. Consider making ice cube versions�they would be lovely floating in a glass of fresh lemonade or fruit punch. Mango Frozen Yogurt Pops Things we know for sure: Kids love fro-yo, and kids love popsicles�and so do we. Well, here's a recipe that capitalizes on both. Inspired by mango lassi, a popular East Indian drink, these all-natural, healthy frozen yogurt pops are sure to be a hit among kids and adults alike. Bourbon and Diet Ginger Ale Popsicles Our answer to a grown-ups-only version of this frozen summer staple is these Bourbon and Diet Ginger Ale Popsicles. The pops are sweet, but have that perfect amount of boozy bite. We like Maker's Mark bourbon, and opt for diet soda to cut on calories, but choose your favorite of each! This recipe comes courtesy of Sarah Stewart Holland, a member of HerKentucky, a group of women bloggers out of Kentucky�and Kentucky women know their bourbon treats. �By Alissa Harb Brought to you by: Relish - Free Recipes, Cooking Videos & Articles

2003 Dayi Yiwu Arbor Pu-erh Tea Cake Sampler
So I have been tasting the sheng samples I got from puerhshop lately, and this one in particular has caught my attention. I find it tastes nothing like any of the other samples I got. In fact, it tastes more like shu than sheng to me.
"It went into aging in a dry storage that delivered a taste of a good aged green Pu-erh. "
Does the dry storage account for the difference in taste? I thought that was the normal way to store sheng...
Is this typically what an aged sheng would be approaching in terms of taste? I'm still trying to grasp how a properly aged sheng will differ from shu. Apperently they will be quite different?
Edit: I'm also wondering if I should be brewing this in my sheng pot, seeing as it is so different from my other shengs.

Elpida Memory, a leading maker of dynamic random memory products and a leading partner of Rambus, on Tuesday said that it has developed a 1Gb XDR x32-bit memory chip capable of operation at 7.20GHz (7200MHz), which is the fastest DRAM device on the market today.
The XDR device is manufactured using Elpida's 65nm process technology and utilizes a 1.5V low voltage operation and an x32-bit interface, a rather unprecedented width for Rambus' technologies-based memory products. The new memory chip operating at 7.20GHz can provide 28.8GB/s bandwidth per second per single device, an unprecedented peak bandwidth for a single DRAM that consumes a rather low amount of energy.
Elpida positions the new memory chips, which are the highest-performing Rambus XDR devices ever launched, for high memory bandwidth demanding applications, such as "game consoles, digital televisions and Blu-ray disc recorders".
"Today's consumer electronics require both high performance and superior power efficiency. Elpida's leadership with the award-winning XDR memory architecture makes possible a range of great products for consumers to enjoy," said Sharon Holt, senior vice president of licensing and marketing at Rambus.
Sample shipments of the new XDR have already started and mass production is scheduled to begin in April 2009. It is unclear whether there are customers for 7.20GHz XDR memory devices.
"In today's era of digital convergence many existing digital consumer electronic appliances are connecting to the Internet and the use of high compression codecs like H.264/AVC is spreading. This means there is now even more demand for greater bandwidth and higher density memory. Our newly developed 1Gb XDR provides incredibly high bandwidth with lower operating power to meet the systems needs of our customers. Elpida will continue to focus on reducing the power consumption of XDR DRAMs, which we believe can also lead to tremendous application potential in portable devices," said Yoshitaka Kinoshita, Elpida Memory's executive officer in charge of the mobile and digital consumer division.

Part 1 is here.]
An economically free society doesn't have to be hyper-utilitarian, materialistic and banal; and yet, here we are, living in a capitalist age marked by these very features. Some social conservatives who see capitalism as one of the main culprits argue that we should turn away from both socialism and greedy capitalism, toward a more humanitarian and community-based approach, toward a small-is-beautiful aesthetic of farmer's markets, widespread property ownership, social responsibility and local, collective enterprise, a political and economic strategy that would allow us to move beyond the noisy, vapid, bustling tackiness that has come to characterize so much of modern life.
The poet farmer and essayist Wendell Berry, and journalist and Crunchy Cons author Rod Dreher are among the more prominent contemporary defenders of this view. They build on the earlier work of writers such as E.F. Schumacher, Malcolm Muggeridge, G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc.
Belloc, in particular, often regarded as the father of Distributism, advocated government policies that would divide productive property more equally and spur the economy toward more buy-local patterns and greater individual contact with the land. His Distributist vision called for an active, top-down approach to the reallocation process. Here's how Belloc put it in his 1936 work "An Essay on the Restoration of Property":
We must seek political and economic reforms which shall tend to distribute property more and more widely until the owners of sufficient Means of Production (land or capital or both) are numerous enough to determine the character of society…. the effort at restoring property will certainly fail if it is hampered by a superstition against the use of force as the handmaid of Justice.
There are some problems with this vision of cultural renewal. (more…)

Something Needs To Change With Welfare System
Perhaps we can get liberals and conservatives to agree on one thing when it comes to the nation's welfare system – something has to change.
That doesn't mean end welfare altogether. There is something compassionate and, frankly, something American about having a safety net for those among us who truly need help getting by. Americans take care of our own and should continue to do so.
However, a recent Cato Institute study should provide more than enough reason for consensus about the need for change. In New York state, a welfare recipient who takes advantage of all the programs available would bring in the equivalent of a job at $21.01 an hour, or roughly $43,700 a year. The study also shows the welfare benefits package available, a number that totals $38,004, is 194.6 percent of the federal poverty level.
We have gone from taking care of our own to paying people not to work, and it comes at a cost. The federal government funds 126 separate programs targeted toward low-income people, including 72 that provide either cash or in-kind benefits to individuals. Welfare programs cost federal taxpayers $668.2 billion each year, with another $284 billion spent on state and local programs. Perhaps most interesting is that the problem could actually be worse since not all welfare recipients receive all the benefits to which they are entitled.
What should be even more galling to taxpayers is that the situation isn't new. The 2013 Cato Institute study is a follow-up to a 1995 study that showed the value of welfare benefits greatly exceed the poverty level and that, because welfare benefits are tax-free, their dollar value was greater than the amount of take-home income a worker would receive from an entry-level job. It is obvious that little has changed in the 18 years between studies.
Locally, there are jobs available for which, either by choice or lack of education, there is no local labor force. There are local efforts to bridge that employability gap and decrease the local reliance on welfare programs. There are also local efforts to increase welfare-to-work participation and to find ways to ease the transition from welfare programs while people are earning benefits like health insurance at a job. Local communities across the nation are fighting a similar fight – and it's pretty obvious they need help from New York state and their federal representatives.
There will always be a segment of the population unable to work who needs the safety net America provides, and not even the most conservative citizens in our midst want to see those who truly need assistance cast aside. Still, a strong message should be sent that America prefers work over welfare.

By Sue
from Pleasanton, CA
We've used atomic clocks for a number of years, and as we age find that vision has deteriorated so reading a clock across a room has become more difficult. I can read this clock across the room without my spectacles! If the numerals were visible in the dark, it would be excellent in a bedroom. The amount of contrast is adequate, though a lighted display would be useful at night. I now have atomic clocks in four rooms of the house so I don't have to mess with changing to and from daylight savings time to standard time twice a year, and because having to set clocks after power outages is inconvenient. This one is LARGE: 16" x 11" x roughly 4" when standing on a horizontal surface; probably about 2" when hung on a wall. I like that it displays the date, day of the week, and both indoor and outdoor temperatures.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

At the start the square atomic clock was confused about date and time and kept posting wrong info. Then , a few days later, it fixed itself. We like the clock and are satisfied with it , but wish it posted the date in bigger letters more clearly like the round atomic clock we had from the same company several years ago.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your comments. We apologize for your issue with this clock. The time transmission is from the Atomic Clock in Colorado. A tower signal on the clock will indicate the power of the connection to your clock from the time source. It is suggested you allow the clock to search for the signal overnight if it doesn't populate immediately. If that doesn't work, try re-positioning the clock to be mounted near an exterior wall and also six feet away from other electronics. Time can also be set with the program menu manually if the signal cannot be received.

Vision problems allows my husband & I to see the temperture inside & outside. I wish it had glow in the dark time, date, & temperatures, that would put this item over the top. LOVE THIS AOMIC CLOCK!
By Joshua PACT Atlanta, LLC
from Decatur, Ga
What an awesome addition to our office! We hung it right beside the check-in/check-out counter in our medical office so everyone can see the time and date as well as be prepared for the temp outside. Easy to set up and after the first night it linked up with the atomic time and has be dead on ever since. Would buy it a hundred more times! It would also make and awesome gift if you ask me!

It Shouldn't Take a Rocket Scientist
By The Don
from Cincinnati, Ohio
Much too difficult to set up. It requires a special screw driver to open the remote unit which I don't have. Much too complicated to calibrate.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Clock cannot receive radio signal
By Jean
from Sarasota FL
The giant atomic wall clock would not function in our apartment, despite the help of a service employee. The building is made of concrete and rebar and blocks the signal. Big disappointment on Christmas. A warning should be given to customers about this problem. I am returning it. My husband, who has limited vision, is very disappointed.

They had an operating income last year of $30.1M. And, it's due in large part to SportsTime Ohio's revenues according to this article.
Although both the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins were unsuccessful with attempts to launch RSNs in 2003 because they could not strike sufficient deals with carriers, the Cleveland Indians have shown that it is possible for a small market team to have its own network. The Indians started SportsTime Ohio in 2006, spurning a rights fee offer from Fox Sports Net Ohio in excess of $30 million per season. Although the Indians raked in less than $30 million in rights fees from SportsTime last year, team owner Larry Dolan and his family made a huge profit from their ownership of the RSN. Besides Indians games, STO programming includes coverage of the Browns, Ohio State, high school sports, the Mid-American Conference and golf.
Even though the Indians still rank 26th in Total Value among the 30 MLB teams, attendance jumped 30% for 2011 and the Indians average ticket price is 31% lower than the league average.
The team was valued at $353M last season.

Product Details
Introducing the perfect shirt for the perfect tuxedo. Featuring a trim, tailored fit, this shirt was specifically created by our design team with the proportions of the Ludlow tuxedo in mind and was precision tailored in two-ply cotton fabric from Thomas Mason, one of Europe's oldest and most legendary mills (it's been weaving some of the world's finest cloth since 1796 and working with us since 2008). Finished with bespoke-inspired details, like reinforced hem gussets and sleeve plackets, it's accented with genuine mother-of-pearl buttons for a sharp and polished look.
Size & Fit Details
Thomas Mason® for J.Crew Ludlow bib tuxedo shirt
Thomas Mason® for J.Crew Ludlow bib tuxedo shirt is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 4 out of 5 by GFBos from Quality shirt, but bib is too short The quality of this tuxedo shirt is excellent, in line with the other Thomas Mason line of shirts. The only issue I would raise is that the bib front does not extend far enough down the shirt. There are few inches of non-bib space left above your pants' waistline if you don't wear a cumber bun, which I tend not to do for a more modern, streamlined look. Also, would be nice for the collar to be finished in the same material as the bib for a more refined look. Those are personal style preferences - all in all, its a quality shirt.
Date published: 2015-01-26
Rated 3 out of 5 by AdamJ from Pretty Nice Tux Shirt This is a pretty good Tuxedo Shirt. Has most of the normal qualifications, nice thickness to it, removable top half buttons to insert studs. It's a bit pricy and is a tad to understated for a very fancy occasion.

I really don't understand why so many members have such a lovefest with 6 In 1s plus diced tomatoes for Malnati's clones.
I do drain the puree in the can away from the tomatoes and then squeeze the tomatoes in a colander to get rid of any loose, watery juice in the tomatoes before lightly pulsing with a stick blender...
I'd be eager to see if I could just use the Filetto di Pomodoro and just pulse that with the stick blender right out of the can. It would certainly save a lot of time!
read the whole post, i am going to give your recipe a try. have you tried the dough without any salt? is the corn oil important to the final flavor of the crust.one more question,does this dough get more flavorful with a real long room rise before flattening shaping and baking?

Too hot to handle
MARSHALL – Overwhelming with its energy and scorching from the field, the Marshall boys' basketball team ran Jackson County Central off the court in the first half and coasted to an 86-63 win Tuesday in Southwest Conference action at Marshall High School.
The Tigers got off to a furious start and were up 13-3 just over three minutes into the game after a reverse layup by Austin Saugstad. Their pressure defense wreaked havoc on the JCC ball handlers and the lead ballooned to 32-10 midway through the half and to 57-25 by halftime.
Marshall (13-2 overall, 7-0 SWC) shot 23 of 40 from the field (57.5 percent) in the half and held the Huskies (9-7, 3-5) to 13 fewer shot attempts and 33.3 percent shooting.
Whether it was their transition layups, pull-up jumpers or shots from beyond the arc, there were stretches in the half where it felt like the Tigers just couldn't miss.
"They enjoy playing at home and they came out tonight ready to go," Marshall head coach Travis Carroll said.
"They shared the ball well with each other, too. We weren't just dribbling down and shooting it, we were sharing with our teammates and creating opportunities for our teammates, which was good to see."
Marshall senior forward Aaron Mathiowetz scored 15 of his 19 points in the first half, connecting on a pair of 3-pointers. He also facilitated the offense with some great passes to cutters and finished with five of the team's 22 assists to go along with a team-high eight rebounds.
Mathiowetz found Sharbono cutting to the rim on multiple occasions. The junior guard finished with a game-high 22 points, 15 of which came in the first half.
JCC came into the game with a winning record and was hoping to perform better than it did when the two teams met Dec. 18 (an 80-50 Marshall win), but the Huskies were buried by the Marshall's barrage of buckets in the first half and stood no chance after the Tigers' initial run that never really slowed down until they decided it was time to turn down the tempo in the final two minutes before halftime.
"We were trying to pick the tempo up in the game because Jackson is the type of team where playing at a fast pace may not be something that they want to do game in and game out, so we did some things to try to pick up the tempo a little bit," Carroll said.
The Tigers had a massive 52-27 rebounding edge when the teams met in December. It wasn't quite as pronounced Tuesday, but Marshall still managed to control the boards in the rematch and out-rebounded the Huskies 39-32.
"We had a strong emphasis on rebounding coming into this game," Carroll said. "Jackson's a very physical team and we knew it was going to be a challenge to rebound with them and our guys answered that challenge in the game. We did a pretty good job rebounding on both ends of the floor."
Playing against Marshall's reserves, Austin Hinckledey scored the game's final eight points and led the Huskies in scoring with 16 points. Jon Harmening added 13 points and Taylor Christopher scored 12.
Marshall's rotation players saw limited minutes in the second half. Senior guard Hunter Peterson had 13 points in 17 minutes for Marshall, while Derek Buysse and Austin Saugstad each scored eight points. Saugstad also added five assists and three steals.
The Tigers cross state lines for their next game when they take on Sioux Falls Washington (S.D.) Thursday. The Warriors are 4-8 on the season.
Taylor Christopher 2 8-8 12, Shadrack Wacker 1 0-0 2, Josh Thaemiltz 1 0-0 2, Austin Hinkeldey 7 1-3 16, Jon Harmening 6 1-2 13, Brady Place 1 0-0 2, Matt Schmit 3 0-0 6, Nolan Hoenstein 3 1-2 7.

Dr. Harold E. Wright
ELK GROVE, Calif. – On February 2, 2013, Dr. Harold E. Wright (Hal), the consummate music man, moved from creating beautiful music for us, to playing for those who preceded him.
Harold was born in 1916 and raised in Silver Creek, N.Y. He graduated from Fredonia Normal School in 1937 and "played his way to Europe" on the ship Beringeria. On returning to the USA, his first teaching position was at the Clarence High School where he met his future wife, Bette Clarke. He completed his Masters degree from Columbia in NY City, before joining the United States Marine Corps. He spent four years in the service and played in the Marine Corp band in Washington D.C.
After the war, he completed his Doctorate at Columbia and accepted a position at Northern Michigan Teachers College in 1948 as a member of the Music Department. Hal later became Head of the Department. During his tenure, he oversaw, moving of the department from the "attic" of the old Kaye Hall, to a brand new fine arts facility; two music camps for Upper Peninsula music students; and introduction of the "musical" to the theater in Marquette. Hal also conducted the Marquette City Band for 27 years; providing Marquette residents entertainment during the summers at the "Island," Hal received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Northern Michigan University in 1993.
In 1992, Hal and Bette moved to Concord, Calif. Hal immediately sought out organizations to continue his love of music. He played piano for a ballet company and clarinet for the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra and concert band. He also played in a clarinet quintet entitled Fusion.
Hal's life was dedicated to his family and the advancement of the arts, starting in Clarence, N.Y. in the late 1930s and not ending until his death. As one member of Fusion said, not only was it fun playing with Hal, but he also taught us all so much about the music.
Hal leaves behind his son, Geoffrey; daughters-in-law Vicki and Lorna; four grandchildren, Christopher, David, Alex and Patrick; and great-grandson Oliver.
Those of us remaining will miss Hal, his spirit, and his music, but we will aways remember his "Rhapsody in Blue" and know he is with those he loves, his wife Bette and son Steve in another place.
The family desires that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Hal's name to the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra, c/o CCCO Treasurer, 1760 Donesta Drive, Concord, CA 94519

It's Never Too Late for a Plan
There's been a lot of back-and-forth on whether bring-your-own-device programs are here to stay or poised to give way to COPE (corporate-owned, personally enabled).
Industry consultant and blogger Dave Michels recently posted a column decrying the fact that companies tend to treat BYOD as a "destination" while not spelling out a policy that clearly defines end user limits and responsibilities. Michels concluded that "BYOD in its current form will not last. It is too chaotic and the liabilities are too great."
While his points are valid, multiple InformationWeek surveys disagree. In particular, our 2012 State of Mobile Security Survey found that 62% of organizations already allow employees to use personal mobile devices for work, and an additional 24% are developing such a policy. The train has clearly left the station.
We work with clients to develop mobile policies, and correctly done, they can deliver a program that meets employees' desire to use a wider range of mobile devices to improve their productivity while simultaneously protecting corporate systems and data. Here's what we've learned from developing these programs successfully. (S6510213)
