Bush's Speech on LA Riot (04/29/16) Presidential Speech Archive American President: A Reference Resource Presidential Recordings Presidential Oral Histories ← Return to Riding The Tiger February 24, 2012 By Guian McKee The Economic Crisis and the (Political) Revival of Manufacturing President Obama visits Milwaukee's Master-Lock plant on Feb. 15. Photo by WisPolitics.com. Since his January State of the Union address, President Obama has emphasized the centrality of manufacturing for the U.S. economy. Visits last week to a unionized Master-Lock plant in Milwaukee and to a Boeing facility in Washington state highlighted the president's focus on the sector. In a rare example of shared cross-partisan priorities (if not specific policy proposals), Obama's Republican rivals have also emphasized manufacturing in recent months. Rick Santorum has made much of his blue collar roots while emphasizing aggressive trade and currency policies towards China. Mitt Romney too has focused on leveling the international playing field, while also attacking unions as a drag on manufacturing growth and, of course, struggling to defend his past criticism of the auto industry bailouts. Both of the leading Republican candidates thus seem to share with Obama the idea that manufacturing represents a key component of the nation's economic future. This is a significant and surprising departure from the economic focus of most recent presidential campaigns. For the past twenty years, manufacturing has mostly been seen as an old and outmoded economic sector that cannot and perhaps should not be sustained or revived. Four years ago, John McCain glumly warned a Michigan audience that manufacturing jobs "are not coming back. . . . And I am sorry to tell you that." The consensus argument from both right and left has instead been that economic policy should focus on overall growth while citizens should prepare for global competition in advanced sectors such as technology and finance. Market forces, in turn, would be left to shape a process of creative destruction as manufacturing became a nostalgic memory of past greatness. The government would not intervene, other than perhaps through retraining or relocation allowances for displaced workers. Mostly, though, workers have been expected to accept their fate as the industries that helped them gain access to the middle class declined – as did the unions that negotiated the wages and benefits that gave them that status. We have to go back twenty years, to the 1992 Clinton campaign, to find anything resembling this year's focus on the manufacturing sector and the workers who earn a living actually making things. Even Clinton that year focused less on support for manufacturing itself than on increasing public investments in human capital and productivity. Job training and advanced skill development, Clinton argued, would create the highly skilled workforce necessary to sustain an advanced twenty-first century economy. Clinton's first Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, played a particularly prominent part in advancing these ideas. Reich, however, lost out to Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who convinced the new president that bond markets would bid-up long-term interests rates and cause a recession unless Clinton addressed the budget deficit. Public investment never happened at anything like the scale Clinton had promised. At times, Obama too has argued for expanded human capital investments, particularly in his proposals for K-12 education reform and for expanding the nation's community colleges. His manufacturing proposals, though, actually tap into an even older strain of economic thinking known as industrial policy. This approach, which was hotly debated during the 1970s and 1980s, drew on the apparent success of advanced economies such as Germany, France, and especially Japan in using economic planning and direct state support for the development of particular industries and even companies. European countries used an approach known as indicative planning to identify and support growth industries, while the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) directed capital towards key industries such as electronics and automobiles, while also overseeing trade policy and labor relations. As the U.S. struggled simultaneously with inflation and recession during the 1970s (a combination that mainstream economists had previously believed to be mutually exclusive), Americans watched in desperation as deindustrialization ravaged once thriving industrial communities. Industrial policy seemed like a possible way out. In contrast to the demand-side, macro-economic management approach that had characterized Keynesian growth economics during the post-war decades, industrial policy offered a micro-economic approach, targeting specific sectors with subsidies, R&D support, infrastructure investments, and export promotion. Critically, industries that offered little prospect of competitiveness would be left to whither – or, in some more aggressive versions of industrial policy, actively pruned. In all these efforts, government would work in tandem with business and labor, in some cases taking the lead and in others merely setting an overall framework for the economy. Industrial policy was not a radical, left-wing idea. Business Week devoted most of its June 30, 1980 issue to the theme of "The Reindustrialization of America." While favorably reviewing the policies pursued by Japan, Germany, and France, the editors noted the challenge of picking winners and losers, but concluded that "there seems no alternative to social agreement on those sectors of the economy that must be encouraged" (56) and called for "a coordinated effort to establish national priorities – with the participation of all social groups, as in Japan – [that] can serve as a framework to rally competing interests around a common goal" (142). Both the Nixon and Carter administrations flirted with aspects of the idea, and the latter famously bailed out the Chrysler Corporation in 1979. Yet despite serious interest in industrial policy in the media, the business community, the labor movement, and academia, the idea never gained the full support of either Nixon or Carter, much less of Congress or the Reagan administration in the 1980s. Supply-side economics, deregulation (which some have called an implicit form of industrial policy), and globalization became the focus of both policy and debate. A consensus emerged that government should stay out of the micro-economy and let market forces prevail. Suddenly, all this has changed. Manufacturing is back in fashion, and in a highly modified form, aspects of the industrial policy approach seem to have returned to public debate. Obama, to be clear, has not adopted the exact positions of the editors of Business Week circa 1980. His proposals, and those of his rivals, remain mostly limited to targeted tax incentives rather than detailed economic planning. Still, even the limited revival of a manufacturing-focused policy emphasis has provoked unease among mainstream economists, liberal as well as conservative. Christina Roemer, who chaired the Council of Economic Advisors for the first years of the Obama administration, penned a recent New York Times column in which she argued that manufacturing actually offers few specific benefits over the service sector. Robert Reich attacked from the left, pointing out that without stronger unions, manufacturing growth was unlikely to help average workers. Such critiques from a president's allies actually suggest that a consensus is cracking, that an existing paradigm may be breaking down. The renewed emphasis on manufacturing, with its quiet and almost unspoken hints of industrial policy, reflects such a possible shift. Indeed, already in his administration, Obama has pursued limited steps in this policy direction, continuing the auto bailouts begun by President Bush and providing significant support for alternative energy technologies such as wind-power and advanced batteries. All this raises the question of why this shift has taken place now. In part, the fact that the U.S. auto industry still lives had provided concrete evidence that government can, sometimes, intervene successfully in the economy. Yet the debate has changed because of even deeper forces now at play: the financial crisis and ensuing recession have undermined the reigning assumption that a technology, service, and finance-based economy can provide broad-based prosperity (for voters, if not for economists). Manufacturing, for a few decades at least, once provided the economic basis for a middle class lifestyle for a large percentage (never total) of the U.S. workforce. Manufacturing's replacements have thus far failed to demonstrate convincingly that they can do the same. While the recent focus on the sector may reflect nostalgia for such a remembered and partly imagined golden age, it also demonstrates that President Obama and his rivals have moved into a policy and political landscape that has been fundamentally transformed by the economic crisis of the last five years.

Cute, but...
"These boots look great but unfortunately are not durable at all. After only wearing mine a few times, they are already starting to fall apart - there's a giant chip in the heel where the fake wood peeled off, revealing the plastic underneath. They are also very uncomfortable and I can't wear them for more than half a day at a time."

Flat boot with style
"I ordered these in my regular size 9, but ended up having to exchange in the store for a 1/2 size up. Now they feel perfect. I think the black pair look so cute with skinny jeans tucked in. They're easy to pull on and off and are a bit taller than ankle boots. I love the stud detail. I'd buy them again."

To the Governors and Congress of the United States of America
You, I, and all of Humanity must heed the following calls for change to prevent massive human casualties that will result from an environmental and ecological collapse brought on by a near-term loss of the Earth's ability to support even half the current population of People, Animals, Plants, and all forms of Life due to loss of food, water and habitat, atmospheric and oceanic poisoning, warming, and acidification, extreme climate changes worldwide, increasing severe weather and drought, glacial melting and sea level rise, constant and increasing levels of exposure to electromagnetic radiation, unsustainable resource exploitation, and numerous other examples of irresponsibility, poor stewardship, and lack of foresight. These largely self-inflicted factors will be amplified by naturally occurring phenomenons such as earthquakes, tsunamis, invasive species, and solar storms, in addition to inevitable human reactions to these inter-related crises including war, revolution and failure of political and economic systems, all of which will hasten and exacerbate the greater crisis. We must act now to avoid unimaginable suffering due to our collective moral failures, for we shall all be held to account.
- Ban all pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides for 50 years, or until their effects are comprehensively studied and well understood, and the harm they cause can be effectively mitigated, whichever comes last.
- Ban all bio-accumulating chemicals, such as those found in most plastics, from all household goods, agricultural processes, and any industrial process that may introduce these chemicals into food for human consumption, consumer goods, or aquifers until they can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be safe (meaning that each permitted chemical, household good, and agricultural or industrial process causes no preventable harm, illness or injury to the public at any point in anyone's life).
- Ban the use of antibiotics and hormones in poultry, pork, beef and all other forms of food production, and the exposure of animals to un-natural and un-sanitary living conditions, which together inevitably contribute to the destruction of aquatic ecosystems, disease outbreaks among humans and all types of animals, and the mutation of dangerous new diseases with severe yet unpredictable consequences for all of Life on Earth. Enforce this ban for the next 50 years, or until the effects of these drugs and farming methods are comprehensively studied and well understood, proven to be safe beyond a reasonable doubt, and any residual harm they cause can be effectively mitigated, whichever comes last.
- Ban the release of emissions from fossil fuels incineration for 50 years, or until the harm they cause can be effectively mitigated, whichever comes last.
- Ban experimental GMOs from human consumption for 50 years until the effects of consuming GMO produced biotoxins and/or other un-natural tissues and/or substances can be comprehensively studied and understood, and the harm they cause can be effectively mitigated, whichever comes last.
- Ban the release of self-replicating, un-natural GMOs into the environment for 50 years, or until their effects are comprehensively studied and well understood, and the harm they cause can be mitigated, whichever comes last.
- Ban the emission of electromagnetic radiation, which could cause cancer or other potentially traumatic unforeseen effects on Humanity and the ecosystem we all depend on, for 50 years, or until the effects of the emission levels that we are currently exposed to (and would otherwise be increasingly exposed to) can be studied and understood, and until, from that new understanding, safe limits on emissions can be set and the harm these emissions cause can be effectively mitigated. This requires long-term exposure studies before exposing the general population and the ecosystem we all depend on to these emissions to avoid a potential global catastrophe. Ban all electro-magnetically radiating devices and facilities (which all contribute significantly to the dramatic rise in cancer) for 50 years, until the levels of radiation (which would otherwise continue to increase exponentially) that these devices and facilities expose us and all other life on Earth to can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be safe (meaning that each permitted electro-magnetically radiating device or facility causes no preventable harm, illness or injury to the public at any point in anyone's life).
- Ban commercial fishing with nets over 20 feet wide or in vessels over 36 feet long for 25 years, or until fisheries are replenished to natural, pre-industrial levels and the harm caused by overfishing can be mitigated through other methods, whichever comes last.
- Remove all hydo-electric dams and replace them with new, in-line, non-obstructive hydro-electric systems that will not impede fish migratory patterns, reduce available habitats or food-chains, or otherwise harm the ecosystem or biodiversity.
- Ban aquaculture techniques that are not based on facilitating natural, stable, sustainable, and complete aquatic ecosystems, and/or which are not wholly compatible and symbiotic with all other inter-related ecosystems, food-webs, and migration patterns on Earth.
- Immediately develop and implement comprehensive programs and systems which actively and effectively will restore the oceans, the soils, the atmosphere, the ecosystems, and biodiversity as closely as possible to Earth's natural, stable, sustainable and evolving pre-industrial state by eliminating airborne and waterborne pollution, hypoxia, acidification, greenhouse gas emissions, and hazardous materials, natural gas, and oil spills, through all available means, including, but not limited to, gradually, humanely and democratically reducing the Human Population to a sustainable level, effectively prohibiting over-fishing, removing the possibility of future environmental pollution/spills by whatever means necessary (including an outright ban on oil/gas wells or even usage, storage and/or transport of hazardous materials and pollutants altogether, if necessary to prevent a mass extinction event), capturing and actively removing atmospheric carbon and all other industrial pollutants, capturing and actively removing pollutants and toxins in rivers, lakes and oceans, stabilizing the global temperature change and sea level rise, restoring natural habitats, assisting re-population and bio-diversification when possible and appropriate, removing impediments to natural migration routes on land, air, rivers, lakes, and oceans, and by seeking to restore Earth, and all the forms of Life that it hosts, to their natural, sustainable, thriving, and evolving state, in every way that we are able, as is God's will, or billions of our descendants will die, and those who are fortunate enough to survive in spite of our sins will be driven back into the caves.
Although some of you may consider this guidance excessive, or I an alarmist, unfortunately, neither is true. If you delay in addressing this crisis and fail to lead Humanity down a Just and Righteous path, you will eventually be forced to act before it is too late, or the blood of the fall of our civilization will not be washed from your hands, and the truth of the events and the individuals that led us to our fall will never fade from history. All will be judged and held to account. I urge you, act now, and define your legacy.
Oikos Nomos. Oeconomicus. Set thy house in order.

With another holiday coming over the horizon we begin to think again of dishes we may want to serve to our family. Of course we have the necessary family favorites. Dishes we must serve each holiday or it just wouldn't seem right. However, there is always room for a new and tasty side dish.
This is a different take on egg noodles. First of all, most recipes only call for a little salt in your boiling water. With this recipe were going to add one lightly smashed clove of garlic. This will bring a very faint background flavor of one of our favorite spices.
I would encourage you to try this recipe once or twice before serving it to your family to make sure all the ingredients are in the proper proportions for the flavors you wish to achieve.
Egg Noodles with Horseradish Sour Cream and Dill
Serves 8
1 8 oz bagwide egg noodles
1 clove garlic, lightly smashed
2 Tbl butter, melted
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tbl fresh dill, chopped
1 Tbl grated horseradish
Fill a large pot with water, add a little salt and the lightly smashed clove of garlic, bring to rolling boil, and add your egg noodles, cook according to directions on bag.
While noodles are cooking, whisk together the sour cream, dill and horseradish, set aside.
When noodles are done drain in a colander, discard garlic clove. As soon as they are drained place them back in the empty pot and stir in the 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Follow this immediately with the sour cream mixture.
Place your dish in a large bowl and garnish with some fresh dill.

I had alot of the same responses when I was pregnant with my first(now 15 mos and still using cloth) and getting ready to buy more for our new bundle due in June. Just want to tell you my experience in hopes of encouraging you... I began doing cloth diapers without a washer and dryer. Every 3 days, I packed them all up, drove across town and washed them at my moms until 2 months ago when we finally moved into a place with hook ups. If I can do it, ANYONE can lol.A word of advice so you don't get burned out--buy disposables for the first 6 weeks or so. You're going to be changing SO many diapers and SO exhausted all the time, it's just easier to wait til your up on your feet again. And, in my experience, you need your baby to chunk up a bit before they'll fit right. 7th generation and Earths best are great organic disposable diapers that will keep your LOs tush rash free. Hope this helped-you'll do great!

The Netherlands 1853 – France 1890
Van Gogh's bedroom at Arles
[Le chambre de van Gogh à Arles] 1889
oil on canvas
canvas 57.5 (h) x 74.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Transferred in application of the Peace Treaty with Japan 1959
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
After frantically completing five canvases in Arles in one week during 1888—depicting the gardens, roads, railway bridges and horse-drawn carriages in locations close to his house—van Gogh was exhausted. In a letter accompanied by a small sketch which has been dated to 16 October 1888, van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo about the next canvas he intended to paint:
This time it's just simply my bedroom, only here colour is to do everything, and giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, looking at the picture ought to rest the brain, or rather the imagination.
The walls are pale violet. The floor is of red tiles.
The wood of the bed and chairs is the yellow of fresh butter, the sheets and pillows very light greenish-citron.
The coverlet scarlet. The window green.
The toilet table orange, the basin blue.
The doors lilac.
And that is all—there is nothing in this room with its closed shutters.
The broad lines of the furniture again must express inviolable rest. Portraits on the walls, and a mirror and a towel and some clothes.
The frame—as there is no white in the picture— will be white.1
In his state of fatigue, van Gogh had chosen to depict his bedroom in the Yellow House, where he rented four rooms for himself and for Gauguin—in anticipation of the artist's arrival, and his dream of establishing an artists' 'Studio of the South'. The following day Vincent wrote to Gauguin, noting that 'I enormously enjoyed doing this interior of nothing at all. Of a simplicity à la Seurat'; and he explained his desire 'to express absolute restfulness'.2
The image of his own room remained a favourite for van Gogh. He later recorded: 'When I saw my canvases again after my illness the one that seemed the best to me was the "Bedroom".'3 The artist made two further versions—including the canvas shown here.
The bedroom is an awkward shape (the outside wall with the open window is built at an angle) but van Gogh's style of painting it adds to the sense of unease—the room's details suggest something less than the 'restful' air that the artist would have us see.4 The room's emptiness, the sweeping lines of the floor and the outline of the bed, the tilting chairs, tables and paintings on the wall, including his portrait, all evoke the artist's own personality—a 'self-portrait' capturing something of van Gogh's spirit without the presence of the sitter. Despite this, a certain haunting undercurrent, and sense of loneliness, seem to pervade the painting.

In plastic surgery, a lot of time can be spent in the preop area marking your patient. So you want a marker that won't wash off so easily that it is gone with the scrub. For breast and body "work", I use (and the nurses tell me so do most of the others) a black Sharpie.
It is marketed as a permanent marker, but I still find that I have to remind the person prepping the patient to not "scrub too hard" or "that's enough". When you have marked the patient standing or bending in different ways to be sure you get the most skin removed, these positions and maneuvers can't be duplicated in the operating room. During the procedure, I use whatever marker the hospital has, usually the Accu-line products. Those are also what I use when I need a really fine line (ie eyelid) when marking.
The skin marker should be nontoxic and non-allergenic. If used during the procedure, then it must be sterilizable. The ink must have a visible color and must be non-reactant with other chemicals used on the skin (e.g., povidone iodine). The ink must be resistant to mechanical cleaning but removable in time.
In quilting, you want a marker that will stay long enough to see the pattern you are quilting. You want to be able to either "brush" it off gently later (as with chalk pencils) or to wash it out. The different colors of fabrics used can sometimes make this more challenging. For the quilt I am preparing for hand quilting, I used the blue washable marker on the "mustard" (light fabric) and a silver chalk pen on the brown (dark fabric). Here are some links to tips by experts like Ami Simms (blue washable marker), and Sharon Darling (Quilter's Choice Marking Pencil, Miracle Chalk).
Skin Marking in Plastic Surgery; Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 115(5):1450-1451, April 15, 2005; Ayhan, Meltem M.D.; Silistreli, Ozlem M.D.; Aytug, Zeynep M.D.; Gorgu, Metin M.D.; Yakut, Macide M.D.

North Point Trainee Recruitment Consultants 2013
We are looking for a new generation of recruitment professionals.
North Point recruitment are an innovative and successful national recruitment consultancy headquartered in Manchester city centre. Everyday we help organisations find, attract and engage outstanding individuals. Our work makes a real difference to the calibre of our clients employees.
We are a multidisciplinary technical recruitment consultancy and our services are used by organisations across the UK in the ITC, Engineering and Scientific marketplaces. We have a track record of finding uniquely skilled individuals for some of the most complex technical roles.
Our recruitment consultants are trained to become experts in their fields and we equip them with great tools, technology and training to ensure they deliver the kind of service our clients have come to expect from us.
We are not an ordinary recruitment agency. We do not hire ordinary recruitment consultants.
After a successful office move to bigger premises in 2012 we have great plans for 2013; including more than doubling our consultants numbers. We are therefore on the lookout for bright, ambitious, dynamic, and committed individuals to train as technical consultants.
Recruitment is a sales role, but previous sales experience is not vital to us. It is much more important that you possess highly developed listening and persuading skills. You may have done this in a sales role, but it might equally have been developed in other work or past experiences.
We look for outstanding individuals who can demonstrate accomplishments in their past. Whether you a prize-winning poet, a former athlete, graduated top of your class or simply excelled in your current role we love to hire people who can demonstrate passion and persistence in their chosen fields.
Working in consultancy also means you will need to handle complex projects, to multitask, to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and to achieve objectives within tight deadlines.
The role requires long hours and hard work. We will teach you how to develop high-level relationships with key industry players, how to build an industry network on contacts and how to achieve market presence via your knowledge, contacts and expertise.
We are currently looking to add new talent to our Scientific, Engineering & ITC divisions. Applications are invited from all backgrounds and experience types. Previous year intakes have included recent graduates, career changers and highly experienced b2b sales professionals.
The opportunity we offer includes a full hands-on training program, a starting basic of £20k (on completion of training) an open-ended bonus scheme, annual reviews and target-based salary increases. Successful consultants can earn six-figure packages within 2 years. Full career path to management and partner status are available.
North Point operate a grown-up working environment focussed on results rather than just hours clocked. High performing consultants set their own working hours and holidays. Company and individual targets include New York Xmas shopping trips, holidays, cars and events.
If you think you could thrive in this kind of environment we would love to hear from you. Send a copy of your CV to our Commercial Director Paul Bradley-Law.

Skip to comments.Obama admits hed like a weird superpower (ability to speak any language.. flying OK too)
Posted on 08/17/2012 9:09:20 AM PDT by NormsRevenge
President Barack Obama admitted Friday in a radio interview broadcast that he yearns for a "weird superpower"the ability to speak any language. But flying might be cool, too.
Obama, speaking to the "Morning Mayhem" crew on 93.3 KOB FM in Albuquerque, also came out in favor of red chili over green, said the best advice he ever got was "be persistent" and revealed that he has never heard the original version of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" but has watched a gone-viral video of himself performing it. Its a bird! Its a plane! No, its an incumbent president in a tough fight for re-election! (Larry Downing/Re
So what superpower would the most powerful man in the world like to have, one of his questioners asked, noting that parts of "The Avengers" were filmed in New Mexico.
"It's kind of a weird superpower, but if I had something that I could immediately wish for, I would love to be able to speak any language," the president said.
"Now, that's a weird superpowerit might not come in handy to rescue folks from a burning building," he added. "But I've always wished that whatever country I went to, wherever I met somebody who spoke a different language, that I could right away speak their language."
"I'm a big believer in making connections with people. But if it's like an 'Avengers' superpower, then I think the whole flying thing is pretty good," he said. "You can't beat just kinda swooping around. That looks like it'd be fun."
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
His superpower if I had my way.. How about 'disappearing' permanently. He could share it with Bill Clinton.
How about speaking coherently without a teleprompter?
Nevermind, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney can already do that.
He has quite a few already,, he can leap over CONgre$$ & SCoTUS and has with ease many times.
He already has a superpower. Every time he opens his mouth, some of our prosperity vanishes instantly.
Congratulations! The first batter up has hit a home run!
He already has the "Obama Touch". Everything he touches turns into.... well, uh... a smelly Obama.
resistance is futile.
Barry just wants to be king of the planet, that's all.
This is absolutely astonishing. Wishing for "superpowers." Both the journalist and O completely discredit themselves here. Given the gravity of the problems facing the U.S., for the POS having this stoner-like conversation is pathetic.
Yeah, well, some simple Mary Poppins powers might help these two brainiacs.
It is actually a very cunning idea:
Genisis 11:6 - The LORD said, If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
He'll start by learning to speak Austrian.
It can be easily arranged.
Obama wants to learn languages. So, what has he done about it? This ain't Affirmative Action no more....
Well then, he can kiss my ass. How's that for a connection?
"Universal translator" is the worst superpower I've ever heard of.
I'd rather have Batman's ... superhuman self-discipline, and billions of dollars.
Hey little fantasy boy, how about you stick to striving to stay in the Oval Office for ONE DAY, @s$h¤Le.
So dufus wants the "super power" to lie in every language.
How about that?
He'd have to be proficient in at least ONE language to start out with!!
How about the ability to create jobs or the ability to have a good economy?
But all he knows is "Muslim speak" and street jive. That's the real reason for the monitor...to control his language.
Does the devil speak every language?? Of course....
He does have a 'superpower'. He speaks out his ass.
He's already super weird..
Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.............
This is very telling. Imagine his embarrassment when he travels the world but, like most Americans, can only speak English. Think about it, of all the super powers he could have he would the one that would most distance him from other Americans, to show that he is a "man of the world".
Obama already speaks to languages.They are English,Arabic,Kenyan and Indonisian.He's quite talented.
Imagine if his 'superpower' was that HE COULD NOT LIE .
How about "able to propose balanced budgets"?
Or is that too far fetched?
Jesus Christ.
He is a f-ing child.
He still has yet to master Austrian.
A man-child with abandonment issues as both of his parents ran out on him.
I guess being the anti-Christ isn't enough for him?

Nestled in the Rock River Valley, just 3 miles south of the town of Oregon, lies a 2,291-acre wooded area that is one of Ogle County's most beautiful and historic sites. Its scenic qualities come from 120-foot bluffs along 3.5 miles of riverfront forested with hardwood and pine trees. The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion. Over several decades, an estimated 500,000 trees were seeded directly by him or under his supervision.
This multi-use 17 mile recreational trail offers beautiful scenery and 21 decked bridges, including a covered bridge in Orangeville, passing wetlands, creeks, woods, prairies, geologic formations and farmland.

Its crushed limestone surface may be used by hikers, bicyclists, snowmobilers, and cross-country skiers. The The tow miles of trail between the Wes Block Trail Access and Illinois 26 is an asphalt paved surface. The final two mile asphalt paved segment from Highway 26 to the Tutty's Crossing Trailhead on the riverfront in historic downtown Freeport will open in summer 2015. This segment crosses the 1885 Van Buren Street Bridge to the Old River School Historic District, the original north entryway into the City, and through historic downtown Freeport offering specialty shops, restaurants, a bicycle shop offering repairs, and more. At Tutty's Crossing, the Jane Addams Trail connects with the Pecatonica Prairie Trail currently under development between Freeport and Rockford. The Jane Addams Trail connects the Wisconsin state line to the Badger Trail which extends to Madison. Access to the trail is available at the West Block Access, 2636 W. Fairview Road, Freeport, at the Richland Creek Trailhead, 101 N. Ewing Street, Orangeville, at Cedarville Road, at Red Oak off of Beaver Road, and by mid-summer at Turry's Crossing in downtown Freeport. Trail Maps are available.

Elizabeth and James just launched their cool-girl spectacles, Super Sunglasses has the Ciccio frame in seemingly endless colorways, and even t-shirt label LNA Los Angeles did an '80s-inspired iteration. Geek-chic fashion glasses are a big story this season, and they're showing up on everyone from Chloë Sevigny to Alexa Chung, Anne Hathaway to Kirsten Dunst. The Man Repeller Leandra Medine has dubbed them BCGs (Birth Control Glasses), and French blogger Pandora has made a signature of her big specs and blunt bangs.
It can be a tough trend to pull off, but can give a look that little something extra it needs. Will you try it? And, the bigger question, will we look back at pictures of ourselves ten years from now and wonder what we were thinking?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — How did Tony Stewart react to the news that Danica Patrick was dating the driver he calls his son?
With a prank, naturally.
Patrick was in the Stewart-Haas Racing shop last month.
"I was like, "Hey, I have a boyfriend," and he's like, "I know,' " Patrick told USA TODAY Sports with a laugh. "That was an easy conversation. So then we discussed a way that he wanted to mess with Ricky and say, 'You tell Ricky I'm pissed off that he didn't call me and talk to me about this and feel like we could have this conversation. Tell him I feel kind of betrayed that I thought we were better friends than that.' "
DANICA: On Stenhouse gift: 'It's really bling bling'
Just as he was a sounding board for Patrick when she entered NASCAR, Stewart helped guide Ricky Stenhouse Jr. into a stock-car career. Stenhouse drove for Stewart's Brownsburg, Ind.-based open-wheel USAC team in the 2007 season.
"When I was racing for him, he started calling me his son," Stenhouse told USA TODAY Sports after Daytona 500 qualifying Sunday. "So every time he texted me, it's, 'Hey, son.' If he won, it's, 'Hey dad, good job.' So when (Patrick) told him (about the relationship), and I wasn't the one to tell him, he got a little mad like, 'I can't believe my son wouldn't contact me about this.' "
ROLE MODEL: Patrick strikes a pose with Jeff Gordon's daughter
COLUMN: Gluck: Patrick's pole could be flash point for NASCAR
Patrick said it was all in good fun for Stewart, the three-time Sprint Cup champion who is known as a world-class practical joker, but she had a hard time trying to keep up the ruse.
"I led Ricky down the path just for a minute when I saw him later," she said. "I was like, 'Tony was a little offended you didn't talk to him earlier.' He was like, 'Really? All right." And then five minutes later, I was like, 'OK, so I can't lie to you: Tony made me say that.' "
Said Stenhouse with a laugh: "She tried to play it off like, 'Hey, he's really mad,' and it didn't work. I got her out of it, and I've got to get him back now."
Given the tight bond between her boyfriend and team owner, Patrick said she wasn't worried about how Stewart would handle the news.
"I have known for a long time how much respect and care Tony and Eddie (Jarvis, Stewart's business manager) both have for Ricky," Patrick said. "So I knew it wasn't going to be a big problem, and if they had the emotion and feeling for him that I already knew, I was confident they were going to be happy for me."

Found 3 Mentors.
Mentor In: Middle Eastern
Why I want to be mentor: there are no mentors in this category yet, and middle eastern is so delicious I feel it should be shared with whoever wants to learn it.
Lesson Learned: baking will always take longer than I expect, and I will always run low on one of the ingredients, no matter what I do.
Tip: find a good middle eastern store, because it will be a pain in the butt finding some of the ingredients otherwise
Mentor In: Middle Eastern
Why I want to be mentor: I think we have great food and want to share it with whoever is interested.
Lesson Learned: When you share recipes, you are also sharing a piece of your heritage and culture.
Tip: Cooking at home is so much better.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Mentor In: Middle Eastern
Why I want to be mentor: I know Middle Eastern food.
Lesson Learned: You have to always read a full recipe before starting it. You have to follow directions. You have to be patient and not try to hurry things along. And you have to learn what you can use in place of something else and what works best for you and your family, recipes have to work for you not you work for them.
Tip: Always stay true to yourself in the kitchen and your food will always be amazing.

Gospel Reading

16th Wednesday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Luke 14:1-11
At that time, one sabbath when Jesus went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him. And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?" But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go. And he said to them, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on a sabbath day?" And they could not reply to this. Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, "When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him; and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
