Now that the dust has settled in Australia, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hail the star players of Super Rugby, Round One.
Now that the dust has settled over in Australia, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round One.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections.
Team of Round 1
15 Jesse Mogg (Brumbies) – Two tries for the former rugby league man as he followed up a strong debut campaign with a good opening hit-out in 2013. Mogg glided across the turf on Saturday and was solid under the high ball so beats James O'Connor to our opening jersey.
14 Richard Kingi (Rebels) – Made a couple of errors but for a half-back playing out of position, not too bad at all. Kingi finished well after a long pass from O'Connor and before that he put a lovely inside ball out the back door to Hugh Pyle for the Rebels' second. A good showing.
13 Ben Tapuai (Reds) – Out of position yes but no thirteen stood out over the opening weekend. Tapuai possesses an cultured left boot and showed that on Saturday. It is always difficult playing alongside a newbie centre (Aidan Toua) but Tapuai did enough to catch the eye.
12 Kyle Godwin (Western Force) – Beat eight defenders and offloaded four times in what was an impressive season opener from the 20-year-old, born in Zimbabwe. One blot on his copy book would have to be his three from six record off the tee so there's room to improve.
11 Alfie Mafi (Western Force) – Edges out Reds wing Digby Ioane here after his two-try performance that has him alongside Mogg as the early pace-setters in the standings. Mafi always had potential and it seems his pre-season was solid as he hit the ground running.
10 Sam Christie (Western Force) – While Matt Toomua ticked all the necessary boxes against the Reds in a no frills effort and Quade Cooper tried all of his tricks to spark his backline, it was Christie who caught the eye this first weekend. 51 metres gained with ball in hand to accompany beating three Rebels tacklers saw the Tokoroa-born playmaker open his Super Rugby account at the Force like a duck to water. He must back this up in PE.
9 Nic White (Brumbies) – Rarely lets his team down. White was his assured self against the Reds and also stepped up to the plate when kickers Christian Lealiifano and Mogg were struggling, knocking over two kicks, which put the Brumbies clear of their conference rivals.
8 Ben Mowen (Brumbies) – The skipper made 42 metres against the Reds and was used as a regular line-out option at Canberra Stadium. Back in May, boss Jake White admitted to not understanding Mowen's absence from the Wallaby squad following consistent performances in 2012. One wonders if 2013 will finally see Mowen's international debut.
7 Liam Gill (Reds) – Billed as the one-to-watch battle of the weekend, David Pocock versus young Gill lived up to the hype. While the Wallaby starter played well in his Brumbies debut, we had Gill slightly ahead in this scrap. The breakdown contest was fierce in Canberra and Gill was regularly involved. Despite being on the losing side, the 20-year-old made 46 metres to accompany his 11 tackles. Next up, a duel with 'Tahs youngster Michael Hooper.
6 Peter Kimlin (Brumbies) – While the Reds lost Scott Higginbotham to the Rebels, they had Ed Quirk in reserve and he was impressive on Saturday. However, the 21-year-old was up against a blindside who continued from where he left off last season. Kimlin has converted from second-row with consummate ease and was excellent again in the six jersey.
5 Hugh Pyle (Rebels) – The stand-out lock from the four franchises playing over the weekend. Pyle finished his try well and also amassed eight go-forwards in Melbourne.
4 Scott Fardy (Brumbies) – The former Western Force second-row forward is forming a decent partnership with Sam Carter at the Brumbies and was the hosts' key line-out man against the Reds. He claimed seven in total and was also a powerful running option.
3 James Slipper (Reds) – When you see a 14 in the tackle column next to a player it usually follows a centre or back-row's name. Not in this case as tighthead Slipper got through a heap of work in Canberra. Whether the captaincy spurred him on or not, Slipper was busy.
2 Ged Robinson (Rebels) – Three hookers caught the eye in Round One as Nathan Charles and Stephen Moore were strong for the Western Force and Brumbies respectively. However, the running threat of Robinson at times caused the men from Perth all kinds of bother.
1 Pek Cowan (Western Force) – Some may disagree with this next comment but we feel credit needs to be paid to how much Cowan has improved over the past year and a half. The 26-year-old led the Force superbly on Friday in the absence of captain Matt Hodgson.

When the current Education for All (EFA) goals expire in 2015, the pendulum of global funding for education may swing in the direction of higher education. The EFA movement—supported for over a decade by more than 160 countries and coordinated by UNESCO—has a lofty goal to "provide quality basic education for all children, youths and adults by 2015." EFA is aligned with the educational components of the Millennium Development Goals, which include universal primary education and gender parity and empowerment of women. Higher education has not been a target of these development goals.
As the world prepares to take stock of 15 years of investment to reach universal primary education and global poverty reduction, the international community is also beginning to discuss which set of challenges will need to be addressed over the next 15 years. Given the finite resources for education, debates on educational investment reflect a profoundly difficult choice for governments and international organizations: prioritizing funding to reach universal primary education or increasing access to secondary and tertiary education? The EFA framework for 2000-2015 was committed to universal primary education—but how likely is it that the next set of EFA goals will support secondary and tertiary education?
Quite likely it seems—if developing countries have a say. The goal of attaining universal primary education benefited many countries in the global South, with global enrollments in primary schools rising over the last decade. But this decade is shaping up as a decade of higher education, with emerging economies increasingly investing in higher education and skilled training. A notable example is Brazil's Scientific Mobility Program, which was launched in 2011 with the goal of sending 100,000 Brazilian college students to study in science, engineering, technology and mathematics (STEM) fields around the world (and return home as experts to contribute as scholars and practitioners to Brazil's booming economy). Brazil continues to support basic education initiatives, but this $2 billion national investment in international higher education signals a shift in educational investment priorities.
Many countries and international coalition groups in the developing world are advocating for UNESCO to focus on setting development goals that explicitly include higher education. Earlier this year, leaders of the African Union endorsed Rachad Farah of Djibouti as the African candidate for the highest post at UNESCO. Mr. Farah also has the backing of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. In his words, "it is time for the South to take the driving seat and say: '[UNESCO] is also our organization'." His vision for a UNESCO of the future includes a focus on higher education and cooperation, "to enable the South to upgrade its universities and cooperate in research within Africa and with other countries, such as those in Asia." The current Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, has also expressed a need for more development work in support of secondary and tertiary education. As of now, UNESCO has not articulated higher education goals for the EFA framework after 2015, but it is likely that higher education will be at the forefront of shaping the future work of UNESCO and the global development agenda for the next 15 years.
This shift is evident in the work of NGOs and nonprofits, too. At IIE, we are paying close attention to the nexus between international development and higher education. Most recently, IIE has committed to working on the development of higher education in Myanmar and to supporting students and scholars at risk in Syria. Another emerging area for us is women and their role in the global economy, and on establishing better pathways between secondary and higher education and increasing access to college education for girls.
On May 6, IIE announced recommendations for the inclusion of quality higher education in the next Millennium Development Goals.
This issue of global funding for education has really done greatly in the education sector of the entire world.In Africa it has assited a lot of the less privilege in aquiring formal education which has gone a long way in turning around there fortune to become usefull and great in life.

Does a Central Clearing Counterparty Reduce Counterparty Risk?

Stanford University Graduate School of Business Research Paper No. 2022
We show whether central clearing of a particular class of derivatives lowers counterparty risk. For plausible cases, adding a central clearing counterparty (CCP) for a class of derivatives such as credit default swaps reduces netting efficiency, leading to an increase in average exposure to counterparty default. Further, clearing different classes of derivatives in separate CCPs always increases counterparty exposures relative to clearing the combined set of derivatives in a single CCP. We provide theory as well as illustrative numerical examples of these results that are calibrated to notional derivatives position data for major banks.

Santa Cruz Area Chapter
Founded in 1985 by a group of dedicated alums, the Santa Cruz Area Chapter is the oldest and largest chapter of the San José State University Alumni Association. The Santa Cruz Area Chapter's mission is to raise the level of community awareness of SJSU and its contributions — past, present and future. This group provides an opportunity for alumni and friends of the university to meet for social, cultural, educational and fundraising events. The Chapter fulfills its mission by sponsoring various events that bring members together to celebrate and support our alma mater. Our activities have included (or will include):
- Tour of Moss Landing Marine Laboratories
- Tour of AnnieGlass factory
- Wine tasting and tour of Bargetto Winery
- Annual Sports Banquet honoring Santa Cruz County athletes currently competing for SJSU
- Annual family and new member picnic
- Annual Holiday Dinner and Auction to benefit our scholarship fund
- Bus trip to home football game
In addition, the Simpkins family generously hosts Chapter members, the Spartan Band and Sammy Sparta (SJSU mascot) for a continental breakfast during the annual Wharf to Wharf race in July. The Board of Directors meets monthly to perform Chapter business. The Chapter President sits as a voting member of the San José State University Alumni Association Board of Directors and acts as liaison between the Chapter and the main campus organization.
Our Scholarship Program helps to support Santa Cruz County students who are entering SJSU. It is the third largest scholarship program of its kind among all of the alumni associations in the CSU system. We also accept donations for and award scholarships to members of the Spartan Marching Band. Membership is open to alumni and friends of SJSU. We actively seek new members and volunteers to help with events. Annual activity fees are $20 per person or $30 per family.

Colostrum is the thick, nutrient-rich milk produced by your breasts during your pregnancy and the first few days after your baby is born. It is the perfect first food for your baby – providing just the right amount of calories, nutrients, and antibodies to protect and nourish your new baby.
Colostrum is thick and sticky, and creamy yellow to orange in color. It is low in fat and high in carbohydrates, protein, and antibodies. It is extremely easy to digest and acts as a laxative, helping him or her to expel meconium and excess bilirubin, which can help prevent jaundice. It contains a large amount of the antibody secretory immunoglobulin (IgA), which protects the mucous membranes in your baby's throat, lungs, and intestines. Colostrum also helps protect your baby from bacteria, viruses, and other toxic material by forming a protective film over your baby's porous intestines to prevent any foreign substances from entering. Colostrum also contains high concentrations of protective white cells, called leukocytes, which destroy disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
Your breasts only produce a small amount of colostrum, but that's all your newborn needs – or can handle – in the first few days. A one-day-old newborn's stomach can only hold about 5 to 7 ml of liquid, or about the size of a small marble. By three days old, his stomach has grown to hold approximately 0.75 to 1 ounce, (about the size of a large marble) and by the end of his first week, his stomach can handle about 1.5 to 2 ounces of liquid, or about the size of a ping-pong ball. Newborns' stomachs don't stretch like older children's do, so if they ingest too much milk, it will be spit up. Small and frequent feedings will ensure your baby receives all the nutrition necessary to thrive.
With consistent breastfeeding, your breasts will begin producing transitional milk by the third or fourth day after birth, and mature milk after approximately two weeks. As your mature milk comes in, it will appear thinner and whiter in color and the volume will increase while the concentration of antibodies decreases; however, the disease-fighting properties of breastmilk never completely disappear – your baby will continue to receive immunological protection as long as he breastfeeds.

I've been swiping all the ones that have been posted so far this evening - so that I will be prepared tomorrow!!!
Right now I have to relieve hubby - who has been doing battle with trying to get the yung'un to understand she HAS to go to bed and stay there.
SHEESH - I do not understand how this child does it - anymore if I get her to sleep by midnight it is a miracle.
No promises I will be back this evening - so if not - Good night everyone - see you tomorrow!
Take Care
God Bless
Good Luck .. just got mine all tucked in
I was pretty surprised to read that we only get $4k a month from monthlies.
Maybe it's sloth, but one of the Prime Directives around here is "There is NO FREE LUNCH!"
Meaning that JimRob writes the checks that pays the bills that keep the lights on. I would think that fans of this place would understand that, w/o a lot of nagging.
Come on, folks. Do a $20 monthly, as I do, and get this fundraising a thing of the past.
I'll BUMP to that ..
I stopped some of my subscriptions and sent the money to FR
Why pay some liberal rag paper when I can get better news right here
Here's something I found of interest though....
Q: Why are the home pages ugly in this 'improved' version?
A: Because I'm working on the system. It will look better when I am finished.
I think we're all used to this improved ugly version now - (it ain't so ugly!)

Canada opened their World Cup account with a deserved 25-20 win over crowd favourites Tonga in Whangarei on Wednesday.
Canada opened their World Cup account with a deserved 25-20 win over crowd favourites Tonga in Whangarei on Wednesday.
The Canucks outscored Tonga three tries to two in a cracking game, and were full value for their win after leading 10-7 at half-time.
The islanders bounced back in the second half though and looked on course for their first victory after losing to New Zealand in last Friday's opening World Cup match. Tonga centre Siale Piutau picked up his second try while Kurt Morath chipped away at the lead.
However, Canada had other ideas and stormed back in front thanks to tries from number eight Aaron Carpenter and wing Phil Mackenzie.
With just a converted try to win the match, Tonga pushed hard until the final whistle but were unable to breach Canada's rock-solid defence.
The defeat now leaves the Tongans with a mountain to climb in Pool A, after suffering back-to-back defeats in the tournament.
Despite not touching the ball during an early onslaught from the Tongans, it was Canada who moved into an early lead after first Chauncey O'Toole and then DTH Van Der Merwe cut through the red sea of defence, before lock Jebb Sinclair applied the finish.
Canada full-back James Pritchard converted and Canada were in a surprise 7-0 lead.
Tonga full-back Kurt Morath had a chance to cut the deficit to just one point, but missed two straightforward efforts for the Pacific islanders – with frustrating errors a common theme in their play.
Tonga had the territory and possession to drive Canada back but too often their handling let them down. And Canada made them pay as Pritchard extended their lead to 10-0 after 26 minutes.
Tonga were finally rewarded on the stroke of half-time as centre Siale Piutau was released in space on the right and scythed through two defenders to score. Morath added the conversion to cut Canada's lead to 10-7 at the break.
The game burst into life in the second half as the teams swapped penalties and then Piutau ran onto a short pass and accelerated through Canada's defence on 53 minutes.
Canada were on the ropes but they hit back when substitute centre Conor Trainor muscled forward and number eight Carpenter capitalised by barrelling through a sea of bodies for a try on 67 minutes.
Pritchard missed the conversion, leaving them two points short, but left wing MacKenzie crossed for the match-winner as the Maple Leafs regained the decisive lead 25-20 with just six minutes to go.
Man of the match: Tough one. For Tonga, a brace from Siale Piutau wasn't enough to see his side through. And for Canada, Ander Monro and Phil Mackenzie shone in the backs while Aaron Carpenter stood out in the forwards. But not as tall as flank Adam Kleeberger who got through a mountain of work for his team in a tireless performance.
Moment of the match: Another hard one. But it has to be Phil Mackenzie's match-winner.
Villain of the match: No malice to report.
The scorers:

Tries: Piutau 2
Cons: Morath 2
Pens: Morath 2
For Canada:

The latest crop of HD cameras, ranging from the ARRI ALEXA and RED EPIC to Sony's F3 and Panasonic's AF100, are much more sensitive to light than earlier HD cameras with much wider exposure latitude — and this has definitely impacted how DPs light for HD shoots. "The resolution on the full-frame chips is outstanding," notes Westbrook. "We can now push the ISO on the cameras much higher than in the past with no loss in image quality. That enables us to better utilize ambient lighting on location. Neon signs, window lights, streetlights, building lights, traffic lights … are now more prominent and can be used as [light] sources in a more convincing way." Among other things, this can result in more realistic-looking scenes in commercials, movies and everything in between. In many situations it can also mean using fewer lights, which can mean faster setups and breakdowns, especially if it includes the new generation of "cool lights."
Being able to take better advantage of the full spectrum of ambient light has helped spur a shift to more location shoots in general, particularly on feature films. "Basically, the newer HD cameras are much more forgiving of mixed-light sources than were earlier HD cameras," Westbrook explains. "We used to cringe at seeing fluorescent, mercury-vapor and sodium-vapor lights, but now we can use them to reflect a broader palette of light sources than before. It also looks a lot more realistic, with a mixture of tones and color temperatures."
Working with the newer, faster HD cameras also gives Westbrook more creative freedom. "I love to blend the color temperatures of different types of lights," the DP admits. "When I'm balancing for daylight, I'll use either HMIs or KinoFlos with daylight bulbs in them. If I am trying to match different light sources, such as streetlights or store lights, I use a color-temperature meter to read the light source and then gel either daylight or tungsten lights to match them as closely as possible."
In the end it all comes down to achieving and capturing a particular desired look on camera for display on both small and large screens. However, there are many ways to skin a hide. "My approach to lighting [a scene] is to key on the feeling the director wants to project," Westbrook says. "[Is the feeling] happy? Sad? Scared? Loving? That [mood] sets the tone for each scene and can be expressed with different lighting that is warm or cold, hard or soft, strong or dull, etc." Westbrook will blend different lights and color temperatures to achieve a desired mood. "If you want to achieve a sad look, letting a scene go 'blueish' is a good start," he explains. "A soft key [light] with very little back and fill light also helps. If the room you're working in has a window, you might add rain with water dripping down the glass. The water could be reflecting on the window glass or on the wall or even on the face of the person." A loving scene could be lit very "warm," with candle lights everywhere. Likewise, the keys would be lit very softly and with little fill light. The soft key could be as simple as bouncing light off of a bedboard (using a Chimera softbox with extra diffusion), or simply with China balls, especially to complement longer lens shots. Increasingly, Westbrook uses LEDs for soft lighting, especially in situations where lights need to be hidden.
In terms of which (HD) cameras have most impacted how Westbrook lights a scene, the DP is egalitarian since all the new cameras (from the Canon 5D to the EPIC and even the ALEXA) are smaller and lighter than HD cameras were even several years ago. Many of them have amazing latitude at 12 to 14 stops — and that matches or exceeds that of the best film stocks. Nevertheless, the principles of lighting don't change with each new generation of HD camera. "The fundamentals of lighting a scene have remained the same: key, fill and backlight," says Westbrook. 'I'm pretty sure that no matter what recording formats are being used in 50 years, we'll still be using this same basic lighting setup however the camera and lighting technology evolves."

text: Are College Students Borrowing Too Much or Not Enough? Mar 7, 2012 by Alexis Mattera Did you have to take out student loans in order to pay for all or part of your college education? Probably, as total student loan debt passed total credit card debt for the first time and is approaching the $1 trillion mark, but the bigger problem could be that college students who truly need to borrow are not doing so. In a new analysis of student debt published in AEA's Journal of Economic Perspectives, researchers Christopher Avery and Sarah Turner explain that overemphasis in news coverage of students drowning in debt is scaring people away from taking on healthy debt. They say that capital investment one takes on with a student loan is growing – males with college degrees make $600,000 more in their lifetimes than peers with only high school degrees – but just one in six full-time students at four-year colleges who are eligible for a student loan do not take one out. Why? The study cites rational self-control, short-sightedness and risk factors like the difficulty of predicting future earnings but also reveals that many loan-less students accrue debt by relying heavily on credit cards to cover educational expenses and half work more than 20 hours per week – a schedule that could hurt their chances of graduating on time or at all. There's much more to the study here but what's your take on student loans? Is borrowing worth it if it's done responsibly or is it best to use loans as a last resort in funding your education?And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible! Find as many scholarships and grants as you can before turning to student loans. Visit the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today where you'll get matched with countless scholarships and grants for which you qualify, then apply and win! It's that easy!

Love the look, but not so comfy...
"This shoe looks great on. A nice pop of red and I love the silver heel. It's not so great for a full day at work if you are on your feet. The front is a bit short and scrunches my toes. The heel is very narrow and a bit hard to walk in. Otherwise, received lots of positive compliments."

He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
Don't you understand? There's no place to cut the federal budget
You all know that unmistakable face. It belongs to the scholarly House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Always accommodating with an outrageous quote, Pelosi in September of 2013 said Republican-led efforts to rein in government spending were futile because there is nothing left to cut in the almost $4 trillion-a-year federal budget.
"The cupboard is bare. There's no more cuts to make. It's really important that people understand that," the California Democrat said in an interview broadcast on CNN's "State of the Union."
"There's no more cuts to make."
Of course, she's right.

What is a precinct caucus? It is usually a group of neighbors gathering either in a home or a public building every two years in March to select officers and delegates to the upcoming county and state political party nominating conventions. Precinct caucuses are held statewide. The location of the Democrat and Republican precinct caucuses are usually published in the local newspaper. Prior to the precinct caucus the County Party Chairman calls a meeting of all the current precinct chairman and vice chairman for training about how to properly conduct a precinct caucus. The precinct caucus is usually started with a prayer and a pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States, the party platform is read and agreed to by those attending. In the case of Republican caucuses only registered Republicans may nominate or vote in the selection of officers or be elected to an office within the party. In Democrat caucuses, you do not have to be registered as a Democrat to participate, be elected to a party office or run for a county office as a Democrat. Three candidates currently running for county offices are not registered as Democrat voters. The precinct chairman, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer are elected for two years. The responsibility of the chairman is to conduct a precinct caucus meeting and notify the county party chairman where the meeting will be held. After the precinct caucus the chairman notifies the party chairman, who attended and who were elected delegates and who were elected as officers of the caucus. In the precinct caucus county delegates are elected, and serve for two years. They will be expected to attend one nominating convention and one organizing convention to vote for those running for county elective offices. The state delegates will attend the state nominating convention and state organizing convention to vote for candidates applying for state and national offices. In the second year of a delegates term, the county delegates will vote for county party officers and state delegates will vote for state party officers such as the state party chairman, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer. The public is invited to attend precinct caucuses to learn how the process works and to participate in the selection of political officers and delegates. To fully participate in the process registration forms are available, if you want to become a registered voter of a political party. If one wishes to become elected to any of the above offices, they should bring four or five friends to the precinct caucus who will nominate and vote for the person wanting a particular office. In the case of candidates for county, state or national offices, the candidate will contact county and state delegates and invite them to vote for him or her in the upcoming nominating conventions. At the county nominating convention county delegates will only vote for candidates for county offices. State delegates will go to the state party nominating convention and vote for candidates for state and national offices. There are other political parties, in Emery County, other than Republican and Democrat that also meet and select delegates and candidates. The Republican county convention will be April 21 at Huntington Elementary School. It starts at 6 p.m. At 5 p.m. is the get acquainted with the candidates time. The Emery County Democrats will be holding their county convention and dinner on April 16 beginning at 6 p.m. at the Museum of the San Rafael (96 North 100 East, Castle Dale, Utah). All interested people are welcome to attend. County party officers will be elected and local and state party leaders will speak. Dinner, entertainment and prize drawing will also be provided. Tickets will be available at the door.

Robinson Retrospective Opens at National Gallery of Australia
The first major retrospective of the work of William Robinson opens at the National Gallery of Australia on 14 December 2001.
Dr Brian Kennedy, Director of the National Gallery of Australia, said that the Gallery is delighted to show this major retrospective of one of Australia's most significant artists.
'William Robinson has given us a highly distinctive way of thinking about a sense of place, particularly in relation to the lush rainforest of south-east Queensland that he has come to know over many years. In his mature work he transports the viewer on journeys of discovery through his unique way of conveying multiple viewpoints and timeframes in his work.'
The exhibition, organised by the Queensland Art Gallery, brings together for the first time over eighty important works from public, private and corporate collections in Australia and New Zealand and traces the major shifts in Robinson's painting over the last three decades.
In the 1980s, Robinson established a technique of painting all encompassing panoramas of land, trees, and sky, where there is no fixed horizon or single perspective. This method, combined with the monumental scale of many of his major works, conveys both the immensity and the minute detail of the universe.
Robinson's landscapes are inextricably linked to his experience of the local environments in which he has lived. 'I did not paint these works as a visitor to the landscape but as one who lived in it and experienced it every day,' Robinson said.
Queensland Art Gallery Director, Doug Hall, said he was delighted for this exhibition to be displayed at Australia's National Gallery. 'This is one of the largest single artist retrospectives the Queensland Art Gallery has ever mounted. It comes at a time in Robinson's career when his work has assumed its rightful place within Australia's distinguished landscape painting tradition'.
A full colour publication Darkness and Light: The Art of William Robinson has been produced in association with the exhibition. The publication will be available through the Gallery Shop.
William Robinson: A Retrospective will be on display from 14 December 2001 - 10 March 2002.

Skip to comments.Articles of Impeachment Against Holder to be Introduced on Thursday
Posted on 11/13/2013 8:03:30 AM PST by bkopto
A Texas Republican plans to introduce a resolution of Articles of Impeachment for Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday.
Rep. Pete Olsons (R-Texas) office said this morning that this was not a decision made lightly, but comes with Holders pattern of disregard for the rule of law and refusal to be forthright with Congress and the American people since being held in contempt in June 2012.
That 255-67 vote on criminal contempt, which included 17 Democrats, was tied to the Fast and Furious scandal and marked the first time Congress has found an attorney general in contempt. A measure of civil contempt then passed the House 258-95.
The impeachment measure will reportedly hit at Fast and Furious again, as well as the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups and spying on reporters.
According to Fox News, House GOP leadership and the Judiciary Committee, helmed by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), are not on board with Olsons effort. The Senate would have to convict Holder should the House vote for impeachment.

Olson is a member of the Republican Study Committee, a caucus of House conservatives.
The GOPe, yet again.
Holder DoJ.....yawn
They are impeaching the wrong person....
exactly... this is picking the wrong target... what a ninny.
What's happening to the court case?
However, it's a start. Impeachment hearings always make the bad guys run scared.
Right...but why not start with chopping off his limbs. Every one of his henchmen gone gets us closer to the goal...
exactly... this is picking the wrong target... what a ninny.
It is the wrong person but the guy is not a ninny to go after Holder.
Sorry Ozzy, the road to nowhere doesn't lead to you, it leads to the senate.
a very good choice for a practice run ...
I applaud this action by congress. About time though.

FINALLY! Some US House Republicans have the courage to hold Holder accountable!
Next to Impeach should be Boehner, and then Obama, as Boehner will not Impeach Obama.
Call me right after the guillotine is set up and I'll gladly pull the handle.
However, I fully expect the standard wimpoid no cojones Republican cave in.
Does that need more salt, tabasco, or sincerity?
If that isn't the GOPe showing their true colors, I don't know what is.
Anybody out there still think it's feasable to 'work within the party'? I'm also close to the point that unless the likes of Cruz, Palin, Lee, and some others don't turn their back on the Republican Party I will question the seriousness of their words and their actions.
If the aforementioned are the real McCoy, the party bosses absolutely despise them. They will therefore never make any headway within the party.
Everyone knows time is short. Do we really have leadership or don't we? Are those with money and influence willing to do what it takes to take this country back or aren't we?
Who knows? Impeach one, and he might spill the beans on the other.
I doubt it, but it might happen.
It is about time Larry Buschon (R-Ind.), did something positive.
So, any bets on whether it will be his first or second defense to play the race card?
Wonder what DC Gossip Columnist Issa thinks about this.
I think this is a bad idea at this time. Keep the focus on the failure of Obamacare - don't change the subject.
Apparently, they need an injection of ballz before they consider impeaching Zero. Maybe this one is leading up to the big one? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Of course they aren't.
And Holder was found in Criminal Content of Congress on June 28, 2012(!), the first time ever the U.S. Congress found an Attorney General of the U.S. in contempt.
Now, almost 17 months later, count me as extremely skeptical of any such impeachment proceedings.
Wow....17 democrats....must be in purple districts...
I'm sure Nazi Pelosi gave them permission...
I saw what you did there. +1.
Maybe that explains that only 322 reps cast votes (255-67). Who and where were the remaining 113?
Never happen...Holder is a true believer...
Besides...if he does in fact get impeached by the house and convicted by the Senate, that's as likely to happen as the sun not rising, he would get a nice multi million dollar job on wall street..
I was wondering if anyone would "get it"
That's Holder's job. Deflect the impeachment talks towards himself, away from the One.
There is no wrong person to impeach in this administration, it's more of a question of priority, Holder may not be number one but he's up there.
Frog march that racist MFer out if the DOJ in an orange jumpsuit.
How many of these "Heroic House Reps" were sent there as TEA Party favorites?
Don't forget his comrade-in-arms Chief Justice Roberts. One man responsible for millions of peoples' misery.
Right. He's just a willing tool.
And a good start at that. Let them defend their actions!
No, it's a good idea. Beat the snot out of them on every front possible and keep up the pressure. Make it hurt and make them scramble to try to cover multiple scandals and corrupt hacks. If managed properly it will have them chasing their tails to keep up with all of their misdeeds being addressed.
I don't see Texas Rep Louie Gohmert's name on this list. I wonder where Louie will stand on this.
"...They are impeaching the wrong person......"
"...this is picking the wrong target... what a ninny."
Nope. Think about it - Taking out the Guard Dog is the first thing you do. Holder's the gatekeeper. And they have multiple provable instances of malfeasance and abuse of office against him - IF they can get Crybaby Boehner to actually find his gonads and stand up and get other spineless GOPers to step up.
Makes perfect sense.
Surprise, surprise.
The IRS scandal showed that the IRS targeted conservatives.
The DOJ scandal showed that the DOJ targeted the news media, which includes the AP. But, where is the evidence the AP was targeted? We only have EVIDENCE that Fox News (James Rosen) was targeted, and with a criminal warrant.
SO, it is my contention that the AP being spied upon IS A RED HERRING TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE DOJ WASN'T JUST SPYING ON CONSERVATIVE MEDIA LEADING UP TO THE 2012 ELECTION, BUT THEY WERE ONLY SPYING ON FOX NEWS, NOT THE AP!!!
The DOJ was targeting conservatives ONLY, just as the IRS was targeting conservatives ONLY. This is a pattern across ALL OF THE AGENCIES under 0bama!!
Should have been done during the Clinton administration. Better late than never.
But we'll never get to Obama until we get rid of Holder. Holder's position is offensive line.
ANY of Obama's cohorts should be impeached. Obama is the obvious 1st choice, however.
That said, lest we forget who Obama's firewall is? Eric Holder. So down he should go.
But of course, with the complicit Congress and Senate, these calls for fixing the corruption and holding the criminals accountable, will fall on deaf ears.
How unfortunate for America and all of us, that this government is SO broken....
God willing, something cracks and their house of cards falls, soon!
He will be impeached in 24 business hours.
I think Cruz understands where we're at. The people have no recourse as long as DC won't listen. The regime has been deliberately spitting in our faces in order to convince us that resistance is futile because Congress will NEVER hold the executive accountable. There is a LOT of anger about Obamacare but currently (with the wimpy R leadership) no way to make that resistance effective. If we don't FIND a way BEFORE PEOPLE GIVE UP ALTOGETHER the coup will finally be complete.
If this stuff starts brewing now the investigation phase could be done and the actual impeachment with the accompanying revelations could hit right before the 2014 election in which a LOT of Congress-critters have to at least PRETEND to listen to constituents - constituents who are increasingly running out of goodwill as their lives are being trampled by Obamacare and its economy busting. Politicians arguing that it's just - tee-hee - the RULE OF LAW at stake.... might not be greeted with giggles in this atmosphere.
And if eyes are on the IRS for targeting the Tea Party, the regime might not find it so easy to stop the Tea Party rallies which create public pressure and burst the illusion that a race is close enough to be stolen.
We are literally fighting for our lives, and I think we're at the critical point in the game where it's late enough that people can sense the urgency but not so late that we've run out of clock.
Maybe they used Obama's old tactic & voted "Present'.

Skip to comments.CDC Gun Research Backfires on Obama
Posted on 09/20/2013 3:54:46 PM PDT by Para-Ord.45
In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, President Obama issued a list of Executive Orders. Notably among them, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was given $10 million to research gun violence.
Here are some key findings from the CDC report, Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence, released in June:
1. Armed citizens are less likely to be injured by an attacker:
2. Defensive uses of guns are common:
3. Mass shootings and accidental firearm deaths account for a small fraction of gun-related deaths, and both are declining
4. Interventions (i.e, gun control) such as background checks, so-called assault rifle bans and gun-free zones produce mixed results
5. Gun buyback/turn-in programs are ineffective in reducing crime.
6. Stolen guns and retail/gun show purchases account for very little crime.
7. The vast majority of gun-related deaths are not homicides, but suicides.
(Excerpt) Read more at gunsandammo.com ...
The CDC report is overall a blow to the Obama Administrations unconstitutional agenda. It largely supports the Second Amendment, and contradicts common anti-gun arguments. Unfortunately, mainstream media failed to get the story they were hoping for, and their silence on the matter is a screaming illustration of their underlying agenda.
Obviously the 'Great One' didn't like this. Why else would a study paid for by my tax dollars cost money?

Someday, we'll have a free press again.
When we again have Reporters instead of Urinalists.
Why don't we all send copies of the report to Feinstein, Schumer, etc.
Oh my! Honest federally-funded research.
>> "Someday, we'll have a free press again." <<
What day will that be?
I think you're dreaming. Its all going to get much worse, and not too far in the future.
I wanted to put this in font size 7, bold, but I kept my voice more 'muted'... lol
Too bad they didn't get a couple of statistics in there regarding the percentage of deaths resulting from gangbangers shooting each other or being shot by cops.
How they statistically refer to some of the domestic-savages as "children"
And how the gangbanger killings are serious enough to skew the life expectancy statistics in the US.
"The Great One" is Mark Levin's handle.
Folks derisively refer to Obama as "The One".
An Armed Society
is a Polite Society.
works for Me
It works for anti-gun libs too, but they're too screwed up and indoctrinated to understand that.
When we again have Reporters instead of Urinalists.
Outstanding, SandRat!
I think youre dreaming. Its all going to get much worse, and not too far in the future.
I don't doubt things are going to get worse, editor-surveyor, but they're not going to stay that way. In the first place, Marxists are looters and armed robbers and rapists and arsonists and extortionists, not builders or inventors or managers or nurses, and in the second, we're builders and inventors and managers and nurses and normal people, not serfs.
They've already destroyed our constitutional republic; actually ruling us, however, is an altogether different matter.
Do you study Yehova's Word?
Do you study Yehovas Word?
None for me, thanks all the same.
I was surprised too...
That explains it.
I have the report at work and even if you throw in the gang bangers suicides are still the biggest amount.
10 million dollars needed to look up statistics and compile them into a study on guns?
I am in the wrong line of work.
Thanks Para-Ord.45. But hey, Zero knew that, which is why he handed weapons over to those poor defenseless Mexican druglords.
This data needs to be read into the record of every State and local government lawmaking body with which to hold them accountable for results.
"I would say that the priority is to recognize that urban minority males between say 18-30 are rather disproportionately prone to gun (and other forms of) violence."
That is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about. That would require that liberals admit their policies have been a disaster ever since the "Great Society".
It's far easier to talk in platitudes and disarm law abiding citizens.
Frankenswine and upchuck shroomer would require the report to be translated into coloring book or speak n spell format because they're too stupid to even figure out how velcro works, never mind reading a report meant for adults to understand.
If the were able to read then they would understand the meaning of "Shall not be infringed".

Newcastle kept their slim hopes of Aviva Premiership survival alive with an impressive 29-20 win over Gloucester at Kingsholm.
Newcastle kept their slim hopes of Aviva Premiership survival alive with an impressive 29-20 victory over Gloucester at Kingsholm on Saturday.
Jimmy Gopperth scored four penalties in the first half to alongside an Ally Hogg try as the Falcons led 19-6 at half-time while Freddie Burns responded for the hosts.
Burns reduced the arrears in the second period with two three-pointers and Akapusi Qera crossed the whitewash.
Although the Gloucester fly-half then kicked the West Country team into the lead, a fifth Gopperth penalty and a Mark Wilson try sealed the win.
Despite finding themselves eight points adrift at the bottom of the table going into this match, Newcastle have enjoyed a mini resurgence under director of rugby Gary Gold.
And successive penalties from their Kiwi fly-half gave them an early 6-0 advantage. But Burns levelled the scores with two of his own.
However, Newcastle continued to battle and scrap for every inch, and were rewarded with Gopperth's third three-pointer.
Another from the kicking tee saw the visitors open up a six-point gap before Hogg went over for a potentially crucial try.
Once again, the Falcons' fly-half was on target with the conversion and suddenly, their chances of survival took a massive boost.
But Gloucester, perhaps unexpectedly, forced their way back into the match in the second half.
Burns reduced the arrears with a penalty and then added his fourth to take them to within losing bonus-point territory.
The visitors were now struggling to deal with the hosts' high tempo game and Qera powered over. Burns failed to add the extras, but he did convert a penalty opportunity soon after to put the West Country outfit in front.
It didn't last long, though, and Gopperth regained Newcastle's advantage before Wilson went over to confirm the victory and dent Gloucester's chances of qualifying for the Heineken Cup.
The scorers:
For Gloucester:
Tries: Qera
Pen: Burns 5
For Newcastle:
Tries: Hogg, Wilson
Con: Gopperth 2
Pen: Gopperth 5

Canada beats Mexico in NORCECA Championship opener
MIYAGUEZ, Puerto Rico- Fred Winters of Victoria scored 20 points on Monday to lead Canada to a 25-21, 23-25, 27-25, 25-22 victory over Mexico to open round robin play the NORCECA (North and Central America and Caribbean) men's volleyball championships.
The top-two teams at the eight-country week-long event earn a berth at the World Cup final November 20 to December 4 in Tokyo. The top-three teams at the World Cup final qualify for the Olympic Games.
''Mexico played really well but we ended up with the win which is the way you want to start this tournament,'' said Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon who added 12 points for the victors. ''There were times we got ahead of ourselves and got too focused on the result but we got the jitters out and we just want to play better in our next match.''
Canada heads into the NORCECA tournament with a hot hand. Over the past month it defeated Slovakia and Puerto Rico in qualifying to earn a ticket to the 2012 World League volleyball tournament which offers the richest purse in the sport. The Canadians also went undefeated to win a four-country tournament in Estonia, in between their two World League qualifying series.
Winters, earned three of his points on service aces, Alexandre Gaumont-Casias of Marieville, Que., earned 13 points and Steve Brinkman of Bowmanville, Ont., collected four of his seven points on blocks.
''We've come here with the objective to finish in the top-two,'' said Canada's head coach Glenn Hoag. ''We had a good first set tonight but didn't play as well after that and Mexico really picked it up. We had some trouble offensively and Alexandre came in and gave us some energy.''
Canada ranked 22nd in the world is in Group A with Puerto Rico (ranked 15th), Mexico (ranked 21st) and St. Lucia (87th). Group B is comprised of the U.S., (3rd), defending champion Cuba (6th), Trinidad and Tobago (64th) and Costa Rica (68th).
In other matches Monday, the U.S., defeated Trinidad and Tobago 25-15, 25-7, 25-12 and Cuba beat Costa Rica 25-16, 25-13, 25-15. Puerto Rico faced St. Lucia later Monday.
The first place team in each pool gets a bye to the semifinals on Friday. The second and third place teams cross over in the quarterfinals on Thursday. The placement matches are Saturday. The last time Canada stepped on the podium at the biannual tournament was in 2005 when it placed third.
Canada faces St.Lucia on Tuesday afternoon.
Canadian roster for the NORCECA men's volleyball championships August 29 to September 3, 2011 in Miyaguez, Puerto Rico
Players: Steve Brinkman, Bowmanville, Ont.; Nicholas Cundy, Edmonton; Josh Howatson, Victoria; Dan Lewis, Oakville, Ont.; Gord Perrin, Creston, B.C.; Gavin Schmitt, Saskatoon; Dustin Schneider, Brandon, Man.; Adam Simac, Ottawa; Alexandre Gaumont-Casias, Marieville, Que.; Toon Van Lankvelt, River, Man.; Fred Winters, Victoria; Justin Duff, Winnipeg.
Head coach: Glenn Hoag, Gatineau, Que.

Not often you see me call Monday happy… but when you have new goodies, when ISN'T the day happy?!
A new round of FaMESHed has started and it is FULL to the brim with gorgeous goodies, this dress I am wearing whilst showcasing the new Diesel Works prop is D I V I N E! It comes in four colours, and I will be going back to get more than jus this one, for sure.. and it has spikes on the boobs, what more could a girl ask for?! Fanatik have done a wonderful job with it, also available is a new hair from Alice Project, it's a longer style with a bit of a dreamy feel, so i felt with the prop and the hair, I had to wear one of my new Mesh Heads from Fashionably Dead that I got at The Arcade! It just seemed to fit.
The Nightingales Sorrow is one of two new props, there is also a Gold "Glee" one too, but I liked the darker looking one. It comes with a huge array of poses, all very moving and all seem to tell a tale. You will have to click through for the bigger picture to see them all reasonably well, but I can assure you, you won't be disappointed if (when!!) you buy it. I absolutely adore it!! It really does match the head, doesn't it?!
Also new from FaMESHed are these Tweed and Leather Jackets from Erratic, if there isn't a colour here you like, you need your eyes testing! Whether you want a pure Black one, a bit of a girly Pink one or a bright Yellow one, I'm pretty sure there is something here for everyone. Some amazing mesh and texturing work from Erratic on these, and such a selection too! I wore mine with another Head from Fashionably Dead at The Arcade and a huge Truth Braid!
I've been trying to feature more furnishings lately, it's something I do love, I just never think my pictures do the items justice, but I am going to try anyway. Prism, whom I featured yesterday, are here again today! This time with a few of the items from their Southern Living Set!
You can get an array of products, but I really love these two chairs, the padded seats look SO comfortable and everything is so well textured. They come in three colours and each one has a matching rug you can purchase too! Of course they are animated, so you won't sink half way through the chair if you sit on it, you'll look neat and tidy and like a lady (or a gent)
Matching Rocking Chairs are also available, and this gorgeous sideboard style chest seat thinger! Yeah, I am good with words. I said it yesterday, and I say it again, Prism is one of those stores where you are guaranteed to find SOMETHING you love, they cater for all tastes with a huge array of items. These items are quite "oldy worldy" in my opinion, something a little more refined, but how can you resist when they are so gorgeous?!
