|Gradually it is emerging just how much Cap and Trade aka the Global Warming Tax is going to cost American workers and families.
|Written by Martin Feldstein
|Tuesday, 16 June 2009 09:27
The following article is from The Weekly Standard, and was accessed on June 15.
The Exploding Carbon Tax The costs imposed by the cap and trade system are equivalent to raising a family of four's income tax by 50 percent.
The cap and trade legislation supported by the Obama administration is a stealth strategy for a massive long-term tax increase. It is a large tax on all American households, and the tax burden rises in future years without any need for further legislation. It will evolve into an enormous new source of tax revenue for the government.
A cap and trade system is supposed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by raising the price of CO2-intensive goods and services like gasoline, electricity, and a wide range of industrial products. This, in theory, will induce consumers to shift their spending to services and products that involve lower levels of CO2 emissions. It achieves these price increases by requiring firms that create CO2 in their production process, or sell goods like gasoline that create CO2 when used, to have a permit per ton of CO2 emission.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that reducing the level of CO2 to 15 percent less than the total level of U.S. emissions in 2005 would require permit prices that would increase the cost of living of a typical household by $1,600 a year. To put that $1,600 carbon tax in perspective, a typical family of four with earnings of $50,000 now pays an income tax of about $3,000. The tax imposed by the cap and trade system is therefore equivalent to raising the family's income tax by about 50 percent. (Some advocates of a cap and trade program argue that the cost to households could be much less than $1,600 if the government uses the tax revenue to finance transfers to low income households and tax cuts to others, but since there is no way to know how the future revenue would actually be used, the only number we have to consider is the $1,600 direct increase in the burden on households.)
The Waxman-Markey bill that recently passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee would cause an even greater initial rise in the cost of living by its requirement to cut CO2 emissions to 17 percent less than the 2005 level of emissions rather than the 15 percent reduction assumed in the CBO estimates. (European officials are, moreover, calling for the United States to agree to a much bigger initial cut--20 percent less than the U.S. emission level in 1990.)
As the legislated CO2 reduction increases automatically after 2020, the price of the permits would rise to further limit consumers' demand for CO2-intensive goods and services. The Waxman-Markey legislation requires the CO2 level in 2050 to be an amazing 83 percent less than it was in 2005, and a study by the EPA estimates that the price of the permit would rise from about $20 a ton in 2020 to more than $75 a ton in 2050. The higher permit costs would be reflected in the prices that households would pay for CO2-intensive goods and services.
Rises in the cost of living would be greater for households that use more energy and CO2-intensive goods and services. The implied rate of the cap and trade carbon tax would therefore rise with income. In that way it would act like an income tax--reducing the reward for additional effort by putting a tax wedge between the individuals' additional work effort and the resulting increase in their standard of living. But while it would collect more tax from higher income households, the cap and trade tax would be a relatively heavier burden on lower-income and middle-income households. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that spending on "carbon based energy" is 21.4 percent of income among households in the lowest income quintile but only 4.1 percent of income in the highest income quintile.
Although the cap and trade plan that President Obama proposed during the campaign called for auctioning all of the CO2 permits, members of Congress in heavily industrialized states and in states that use coal to generate electricity refused to support the plan unless the auction process was eliminated. To get their support, Waxman and Markey agreed to a fundamental change in the structure of the program. Instead of auctioning the permits, about 85 percent of them would initially be given away to a variety of firms. (Since a firm that had excess permits would be able to sell them to other firms, the price of the permit would still be determined by what firms were willing to pay for excess permits, just as it would be in an auction system.) Electricity distributors would get the largest amount--more than 30 percent of the total permits. If electricity regulators required these distributors to pass along the benefit of the free permits to consumers in the form of lower electricity prices, this source of CO2 would not be reduced. That would require raising the cost of other CO2-intensive products to achieve the required overall reduction in CO2.
The proposed cap and trade plan also provides an escape hatch for firms that emit CO2. Instead of reducing their own emissions or buying permits at auction or from other firms, they could pay others to take actions that reduce global CO2 emission. They could, for example, pay for the planting of trees to absorb CO2 emissions from the atmosphere or pay firms in other countries that are not covered by CO2 caps to reduce their CO2 emissions. The Financial Times estimates that the regulated European market for such carbon offset credits will increase to more than $60 billion next year. Such offset activities are obviously difficult to monitor. It is even more difficult to judge the extent to which these extra CO2 reductions would have occurred without the financial inducements.
The Waxman-Markey legislation provides that the annual giveaway of permits would eventually phase down so that more than half of all permits would be auctioned after 2050. This would create a massive rise in tax revenue that could finance new government spending without the need for any new tax legislation. The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution estimates that just stabilizing CO2 emissions at the current level could produce revenue of more than $470 billion a year (in today's prices) by 2050. They estimate it would be a 9 percent increase in total non-CO2 federal tax revenue, an amount equivalent to $200 billion a year in today's economy.
The rise in the prices of U.S. goods would make them less competitive. American firms would suffer in export markets and domestically in competition with goods imported from countries that do not impose such a high implicit tax on CO2 emissions. There would no doubt be pressure to impose tariffs on imports from other countries that have lower carbon costs. This might be welcomed by the unions that now seek to use foreign labor practices as an excuse for tariffs on imports, but countervailing tariffs based on carbon content would hurt American consumers and threaten our global trading system.
And, despite the high cost to American households and the economy, the proposed cap and trade plan would do little to deal with concerns about global warming. Although there is a broad scientific consensus that the increasing level of total global CO2 emissions is raising temperatures, which could have significant adverse long-term effects, the potential U.S. reduction of CO2 would not be enough to prevent those adverse effects unless China, India, and other rapidly industrializing countries also agreed to major reductions in their CO2 emissions.
The proponents of enacting a U.S. cap and trade program at the present time "to show U.S. leadership" so that other countries will follow are naïve to think that China and India will agree to major CO2 reductions without financial inducements. The Chinese and Indians have stressed their opposition to any major reduction in their CO2 emissions and have given no indication that their position would change if we enacted limits on our CO2 emissions. It would be a big mistake to enact legislation before the international meeting in Copenhagen in December where these issues can be discussed and a negotiation could begin.
The initial shift from an auction process to giving away permits is just one of many departures the Waxman-Markey bill makes from the type of pure cap and trade system that appeals to many economists. They favor cap and trade over administrative regulations like automobile mileage standards and smokestack scrubber requirements because the uniform price of permits allows every amount of CO2 reduction to be achieved at the least cost to the economy. The 900-page Waxman-Markey bill imposes a wide array of costly administrative regulations that should be unnecessary if CO2 is limited by a cap and trade plan. Fifteen percent of electricity must be produced with renewable technologies, including wind, solar, and biofuels. Household appliances must meet various efficiency standards. The Obama administration has added a 39-mile-per-gallon fleet efficiency standard for new automobiles. To the extent that these rules restrict behavior, the result will be a more expensive way of reducing CO2 than a pure cap and trade arrangement.
The combination of permit giveaways to selected firms, separate administrative regulations aimed at CO2 reduction, and a market for offset credits means that the Waxman-Markey bill lacks the efficiency virtues of the classic cap and trade system. Some of its supporters may not care that it reduces U.S. emissions inefficiently and does little to reduce global warming as long as it produces a large future source of government revenue. If cap and trade legislation is passed, it should be for a relatively limited period of time like five or ten years rather than the 40-plus year horizon in the Waxman-Markey bill. We need to see how the system works in practice. In particular, it is not clear how CO2 monitoring and compliance will work in all of the participating countries.
Scientific knowledge in this field is changing rapidly, and our approach to global warming should be flexible as we learn more. One important approach being explored by scientists, geo-engineering, is not even recognized in the Waxman-Markey legislation or in the administration's original proposal. (Geo-engineering uses a variety of technologies to offset the warming effects of the level of CO2 in the atmosphere.) If one or more of the geo-engineering methods is successful, it will be possible to have higher levels of CO2 emissions without the adverse environmental effects. And the higher level of CO2 will allow a higher level of economic activity and a higher standard of living. Governments around the world should be devoting more research funds to promising ideas.
If there is to be a U.S. cap and trade plan to reduce CO2 emissions, it would be best to avoid the big revenue creation of permit auctions and the arbitrary congressional granting of free permits to favored industries and firms. Tradable electronic permits should instead be distributed directly to all households. This distribution could reflect the average spending on CO2-intensive goods in different income groups and geographic areas. Individuals could then sell the permits through an organized auction exchange. The payments that they received would offset most of the adverse effects on their standard of living of the higher prices that they would have to pay for CO2-intensive goods and services. Such a system of individual permit distribution would reduce CO2 with all of the efficiency advantages of a pure cap and trade system but without increasing taxes and enlarging government.

These covers are precisely made from 6061 billet aluminum for a snug fit and feature a stylish finish, available in either Satin or Polished.

So whether you need to cover the ugly, factory strut tower bolts and nuts, or are looking to improve the overall appearance underneath the hood, look no further than this 10-piece Billet Strut Tower Cap Cover Kit for your 2005-2010 Mustang.
*Does not work with strut tower braces.
Tech Tip: In 2010 Ford started putting strut tower braces on from the factory. The strut tower braces attach to the car using the 2 inner studs on the strut mounts. To make sure that the inner studs still had enough thread engagement for the strut mount nuts when combined with a strut tower brace Ford started using taller studs. The taller studs will not allow the nut covers to thread down low enough on the studs to sit flush, they will leave a 1/8" gap to the top of the shock tower.

Donna Sackett, Central Utah Area Director of Senator Robert Bennett's office, made a presentation to the Emery County Commissioners during their recent meeting. "We would like to make ourselves more available to constituents and help them with anything they need. We have five offices spread over the state, and our office covers this four county area and we have many specialists to handle any problem that may arise.
"Some of our specialists deal with veteran affairs, social security problems, medicare and medicaid. We have many resources to help folks in rural Utah," said Sackett. She then introduced two of her associates, Bruce Richeson, who is a senior advisor, and Kylene Brooks, who is a constituent liaison. All three expressed their desire to help Emery County and its residents in any way possible.
Sackett explained the recent funding appropriations for Emery County. She stated that $8 million has been appropriated, to be distributed over the next four years, for the completion of the South Moore cut-off road. The completion of this project will shorten the drive time and mileage between the east and the west side of the county.
PILT, payment in lieu of taxes, appropriations are monies distributed to rural areas of the United States with a large amount of public lands for which no taxes are collected. This year, $236 million has been allocated for PILT to be distributed to rural areas nationwide.
Commissioner Ira Hatch expressed his interest in the healthy forest initiative. He told Sackett that with the large number of insect killed trees, this area needs help to find a solution to the problem. With the dead trees, and the probability of a catastrophic fire, the water quality and sediment problems would increase rapidly in this area. "We need to get some timber sales going. We also need some help to disseminate the Help America Vote act," said Hatch. This act is in the implementation stage now, and Hatch requested helped with interpretation.
Sheriff Lamar Guymon expressed his appreciation to Sen. Bennett's office staff for the help the Emery County Sheriff's Office has received with applying for and obtaining grants. Ray Petersen stated that Sackett and her staff are very supportive in anything Emery County has asked.
Sheriff Guymon presented an in-house study which had been done comparing law enforcement salaries within Emery and Carbon counties and the Utah Highway Patrol. The study compared wages paid to beginning, experienced, and certified and uncertified employees. The study showed that a beginning officer for Carbon County Sheriff's Office, Price City Police Department, and the Utah Highway Patrol, are making more in salary than a certified officer who has been with the Emery County Sheriff's Office for more than 10 years.
The study also included average wages for jobs in the area such as coal miners and truck drivers, with or without experience. These jobs were included for a comparison of what the average wage earner can make in the private sector. "We are proposing a 10 percent increase in wages for the officers. Even with a 10 percent increase, Emery County still would not meet the other agencies, that would take a 20 percent increase," said Guymon. "We are asking that you take a look at this study, and consider our request.
"At the present time, we are in jeopardy of losing one or more officers to the highway patrol. Losing one officer is a crisis to us. These men have a number of certifications that would be costly to replace. Retraining someone is very expensive and it takes a year for someone to get through POST, and become certified. It's hard for these officers to raise a family on these wages. On a statewide comparison, Emery County has the second lowest paid officers," said Guymon.
One deputy explained that his brother was recently hired by the Utah Highway Patrol and is making more than $1 an hour more than he does, and he has been with the Emery County Sheriff's Office more than five years, and is certified where his brother is not. Another deputy stated that most of the officers on the force earn so little money that they qualify for food stamps, medicaid, and the WIC program.
Another comment from an officer was that the other agencies around the area focus on one thing. The Utah Highway Patrol does traffic control. Others focus on hazardous materials handling, and still others do only police work and investigations. He then stated that in Emery County the officers are required to do all parts of the spectrum because the Emery County Sheriff's Office is Emery County's only law enforcement agency.
Commissioner Hatch said, "We understand and appreciate what you are saying. We've wrestled with this problem for many years. Benefits are costly. We pay $10,000-$15,000 per year, per employee for benefits. I don't think that we are that low in comparison if benefits are taken into consideration. We'll look at this, but we can't address it immediately. Maybe during the budget process."
Another comment from the officers was that one county employee who has been on the job a short time is making more than a 20 year veteran with the sheriff's office. Commissioner Drew Sitterud stated, "Every department in the county is below what other parts of the state are paying."
Commissioner Gary Kofford explained, "As you look at the new equipment that the sheriff's office has been receiving, you think that they have plenty of money. This new equipment and supplies are coming from grants acquired elsewhere, either Homeland Security or some other place. Salaries come from the tax base and that is what we have to work with. Road maintenance comes from the mineral lease money. The road department is hurting too. Let us see what we can do."
"On July 1, insurance went up 11 percent, which is not as big a jump as in years past. Two years ago it was 17 percent. This is a per month, per employee cost to the county. Some of the county employees take home less money than what their insurance costs per month," said Kofford.
"We will write you good letters of reference if that's what you want. The highway patrol will hire maybe only three of you. We could give you more to take home in your paycheck, but we will need to take it from your benefit package. Don't make any rash decisions. Check out the others and their benefits packages," said Hatch.
"Let me explain one other thing," said Commissioner Kofford. "If a person lives on the Wasatch Front and has access to an IHC, the insurance rates are lower. In this area, we have no competition. Our hospital is independent and our insurance company cannot match the rates of those up north on the Wasatch Front. Wages are one of the things we trade off to live in this area as opposed to the Wasatch Front."
Rex Funk, of the Emery County Road Department, stated, "I'm having the same problem with wages and employees. Our last study was done in 1998, and it may be time to do another one. A 60 percent benefit package is a wonderful thing, but these young families need the money to get by. I'm losing one employee to private industry. One of the truck drivers is going where he can make more money.
"We need help. We are losing good people to other jobs, and we can't get replacements because of the low wages. All the county's employees are great people and well qualified for their jobs, but maybe it's time to look at the situation again. Maybe there is a way to get the mineral lease money to go into the general fund. We need to be more creative with ideas before we lose any more employees.
"I hope you can come up with a solution, We have the finest employees anywhere and we want to keep them. These boys in the sheriff's office see a lot, more than any of us can imagine," said Funk.
All three commissioners stated that they would work on a solution and try to come up with some answers.
In other business conducted by the commissioners, Allison Wells was given the remainder of her Miss Emery County scholarship money. Also, Commissioner Sitterud suggested the placement of the Museum of the San Rafael to be put into the top priority classification on the CIB capital improvement list. The museum has some drainage problems that are in dire need of repair.
Sheriff Guymon presented a $5,000 check to the EMTs. This funding was received from PacifiCorp to purchase a monitoring mannequin for training purposes. An agreement was renewed to provide bailiff services to the Seventh Judicial District Court.
Two separate small portions of property were discussed and the commissioners approved to begin the process to sell the properties. One parcel is in Lawrence and the other is in Cleveland.
In the matter of two ambulance charge write-offs, the commissioners approved to write-off a portion of one of the bills, and to deny the request of write-off for the other. The commissioners approved to re-enter and continue the agreement for approval of the Drug Court. It was also approved to provide the county's new building inspector with a cell phone. A payment in lieu of taxes request by Emery County Housing Authority was denied.
In personnel action, routine pay increases were given four employees. Also, a resignation from a road department employee was accepted, and permission was given to begin the process to replace that employee.
In a closing statement, Commissioner Kofford expressed his appreciation to the Emery County Economic Development Council. "If it hadn't been for them, the South Moore cut-off road project would never had been started. About 20 years ago, they had the idea to do the project, and now it is happening. It may take several more years to complete, but it will help with tourism and Green River access."
The next Emery County Commission meeting will be held Aug. 16 at 4 p.m. at the sheriff's office in Green River.

The 2012 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing came to a close this past Saturday at Lake Elsinore Motocross Park in Lake Elsinore, CA with Team Honda Muscle Milk's Ashley Fiolek clinching her fourth WMX championship and Justin Brayton putting together a noteworthy second moto to take sixth overall. Muscle Milk- sponsored GEICO Honda's Justin Barcia concluded his 250 class career on a high note, grabbing the win in moto two for second overall and second in the championship before moving up to the 450 class.
The Race
In the 450 class, Team Honda Muscle Milk's Justin Brayton got a good start in moto one but went down early in the race, which sent him towards the back of the pack. He was able to recover and make his way back up to 12th. In moto two, Brayton put together a solid ride, launching off to a top five start and riding hard the entire 30-minute-plus-two-lap race to finish fifth and earn sixth overall.
In the 250 class, GEICO Honda teammates Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac both put together one last charge for the championship but ultimately came up short finishing second and third in the points chase. Barcia lead early in moto one but the heat got the best of him and he settled for third. In the second race he grabbed the holeshot and quickly opened up a gap on the rest of the field. He took the win in his last career 250 race, ending the season in second overall.
"The first moto was pretty tough," stated Barcia. "I rode good for most of the race but the heat was brutal and kind of got the best of me towards the end. In the second moto, I got the holeshot, put down some good laps and set it on cruise control. It's awesome to be able to end my 250 career with a moto win. It's really emotional for me but am excited to move up to the 450 class with Team Honda Muscle Milk."
Eli Tomac finished third overall for the year after posting 2-14 scores. In the first race Tomac put together a late moto charge to finish second. Then a crash early in moto two left him at the back of the pack forcing him to make his way through the field. He charged his way up to 14th for seventh overall. Teammate Wil Hahn had his best race of the year putting together two solid rides for fourth overall with 5-4 finishes. "This is the best finish I have had all season so I'm kind of bummed it took me till the last round to do it," said Hahn. "I got two solid starts which really helped, then just focused on riding smooth and consistent."
In the WMX finale, Team Honda Muscle Milk's Ashley Fiolek clinched her fourth championship title with her 2-3 scores. Knowing exactly what kinds of results she needed to secure the championship, Fiolek got the holeshot in moto one and lead early before relinquishing one spot to finish second. In moto two she grabbed another good start and rode a consistent race to finish third, which was enough to clinch the title.
The Focus: VP Racing Fuels
This marks the 11th year that VP Racing Fuels has been a Honda racing team sponsor. VP's experience in blending championship-winning fuels dates back 32 successful years, and in addition to its Motocross and Supercross titles with Team Honda, the company also boasts several NHRA Pro Stock titles, plus championships in off-shore, off-road, circle-track and aviation competition.

The lungs are comprised of lobes. The right lung has a superior lobe, middle lobe and inferior lobe. The left lung has a superior and inferior lobe.
If a cancer or lesion is within a lobe of the lung, removal of the involved lobe is indicated. Under general anesthesia with the patient deep asleep and pain free, an incision is made between the ribs to expose the lung. The chest cavity is examined and diseased lung tissue is removed. A drainage tube (chest tube) is inserted to drain air, fluid, and blood out of the chest cavity and the ribs and skin are closed.
Hospital stay is usually 7 to 10 days. Deep breathing is important to help prevent pneumonia, infection, and re-expand the lung. The chest tube remains in place until the lung has fully re-expanded. Pain is managed with medications. The patient recovers fully in 1 to 3 months after the operation.

"Its called communists in office leveling the playing field."
They're getting revenge for Reagan winning the Cold War.
Isakoff on killing Americans with drones - plays John Brennan sound bite - only teakes actions to save lives. (???)
Katty Kay - BBC - we are turning large numbers in Pakistan, Yemen against us.
Gregory asks what are the limits of drone technology - could we use drones to capture and kill Dorner in California? (oh, go for it, obama)
Isakoff - obama has incentive to do this. The total number of Americans killed under obama is three - same as number of terrorists who were waterboarded. (what the heck is he implying????)
They are all morons on this issue, IMO. Don't they realize there are plenty of people on the left (their audience), who actually are TOTALLY against this policy.
As it turns out your daughter was right and the teachers were wrong. This is exactly how they work. They punish anyone who goes against consensus so the other kids will toe the line if they want good grades. It is done all the way to the PHD level and nobody challenges the theories they want promoted. Pure Junk science to promote an agenda.
Pray for America
Benghazi appears to have been very well played,politically, and off the cuff as well.
In the end should any "journalist" ever get to the bottom and discover (which is not very likely) no one was home in dc and nothing makes sense.
the regime has the ultimate excuse. It was all CIA's fault.I can hear it now,:
We had so many problems with Petraeus we had to get rid of him and replace him with a card carrying muslim, John Brennan. Who we can manipulate better than Petraeus.
Now its possible they may not explain things exactly like that but it may well become the ultimate excuse for Benghazi.IT was all CIA's fault.
and then never ever have to explain anything.
Tell me who we are up against?
Well, actually I did the former (but for cardiovascular purposes)...Regarding the second point...c'mon read the title of this thread, we focus on compounded misery.
But thanks, my headache has left me, probably as a result of the relaxing friendly banter, here, with my buds.
Correct,we have a long way to go.
Who needs TWC???
Downton Abbey - 2 hour episode?? YAY! I always forget and miss it, but finally remember by Monday night (replay)
Yep,they keep kicking our political asses over and over.
Its scary whatever political advantage they have. We better counter it and soon.
Well in that case, at all costs, stay away from RATs.
The only help came from Tripoli and they were kept at the Benghazi airport for over four hours before being allowed to proceed to the Mission. It should be noted that the six man security team from Tripoli included Glen Doherty. Here is the timeline put out by the Pentagon. I wish the questioners had used it to get more specifics from Panetta and Dempsey. It appears that DOD was doing something in response prior to the last attack, but it was mostly in the form of alerts--no movement.
September 11 (Events are listed using the time in Benghazi)
9:42 p.m. -- Armed men begin their assault on the U.S. Consulate.
9:59 p.m. -- A surveillance drone is directed to fly over the U.S. compound, but it is unarmed.
10:32 p.m. -- The Office of the Secretary Defense and the Joint Staff are notified of the attack by the National Military Command Center at the Pentagon. "The information is quickly passed to Secretary Panetta and General Dempsey."
11 p.m. -- Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey meet with President Obama at the White House where they discuss the unfolding situation and how to respond. The meeting had been previously scheduled.
11:10 p.m. -- The surveillance drone arrives over the Benghazi facility.
11:30 p.m. -- All surviving U.S. personnel are evacuated from the consulate. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and State Department computer expert Sean Smith were killed in the initial assault.
September 12
Midnight to 2 a.m. -- Panetta and other senior leaders discuss possible options for further violence if it were to break out. Panetta gives verbal orders for Marine anti-terrorist teams from Rota, Spain, to prepare to deploy to Tripoli and Benghazi. Panetta also orders a special operations force team training in Croatia and an additional special operations force team in the United States to prepare to deploy to a staging base in southern Italy.
1:30 a.m. -- A six-man security team from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli arrives in Benghazi.
2:39 a.m. to 2:53 a.m. -- The National Military Command Center gives formal authorization for the deployment of the two special operations force teams from Croatia and the United States.
5:15 a.m. -- Attackers launch assault on a second U.S. facility in Benghazi. Two former U.S. Navy SEALs acting as security contractors are killed. They are identified as Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
6:05 a.m. -- A C-17 aircraft in Germany is told to prepare to deploy to Libya to evacuate the consulate personnel.
7:40 a.m. -- The first wave of Americans are evacuated to Tripoli via airplane.
10 a.m. -- A second group, including those killed in the attack, are flown to Tripoli.
2:15 p.m. -- The C-17 departs from Germany for the flight to Tripoli.
7:17 p.m. -- The C-17 leaves Tripoli with the American consulate personnel and the bodies of Stevens, Smith, Woods and Doherty.
7:57 p.m. -- The U.S. special operations force team based in Croatia arrives at a staging base in Italy.
8:56 p.m. -- One of the Marine anti-terrorist teams from Spain arrives in Tripoli.
9:28 p.m. -- The U.S.-based special operations force team arrives at its staging base in Italy.
What I find most shocking is that the military was not sent into Benghazi to secure both compounds on September 12. Panetta admitted during the hearings that they had the capability to do this but the request never came. It took 23 days for us to enter the compounds.
I have no doubt that the primary mission of the facility in Benghazi was intelligence and other activities. I don't buy any of the conspiracy theories that this was a hit on Stevens or that it was planned to use Stevens as a hostage to release the blind sheik. We could have been using it to funnel guns to the revolutionary forces in Syria. But if this facility was deemed so important to our national security interests, we should have provided the security to protect our personnel.
Just 29% more to Go!
Not bad, given that Marxist's unconscionable economy, and he's wrecking it on purpose. It's all part of the Communist plan, as explained in "The Naked Communist," which I read as a school girl.
"Tell me who we are up against? "
The dynamic Duo...
( we are so screwed and the Reupblicans don't even get it.)
I work in the SPED dept. of our local Jr Hi, several years ago I helped a young man write a report on GW. He chose to be against it. I was fearful that his grade would be impacted by his stance. But to my great surprize, after putting together a terrific report, he earned an A and a Blue Ribbon at our county fair.
Maybe this is due to what part of the country I live in and it was just Jr Hi.
If we're going to do that....we've got to ignore people like Karl Rove
You can never tell by individual instances, but you said the work was hard to dismiss and it could have been obvious. You wouldn't have been surprised if he was punished however. We have all seen that. I got it on a paper I wrote on the Yalta agreement from an econ professor.
Pray for America
Perhaps you are right...
I just watched a Dateline about a preacher....name was "AB".
seems his wives have a problem remaining alive once they marry him.
I kept thinking....dear Lord...."AB"?
Well AB is religious but I was pretty sure he was Catholic.
AB....are your wives still living?
Speaking of Karl Rove and his new PAC
Some interesting notes on teh Rove and the Executive Director of his new PAC.
Supported Ford over Reagan in 1976
Supported Bush 41 over Reagan in 1980
Failed to gain a popular vote victory for Bush 43 in 2000. Sent W to campaign for Arlen Spector over Pat Toomey in PA in 2004
As Sr. Political Advisor to W in 2006 lost the House and Senate to the Dems...which gave us Obama as President.
Used less than 10% of his PAC's 340 million dollar in the last election cycle on TEA Party Candidates.
Is going around not only trashing the TEA Party on Fox and talk radio...he's lying about Steve King and his comments about Todd Aiken.
Steven Law - Exec. Dir Conservative Victory Fund
Was the Executive Director of the RSCC from 1998 - 2000
Failed to gain any Senate seats in the 1998 mid terms despite the impeachment of Bill Clinton.
Lost 4 seats in the Senate in the 2000 election causing the Senate to be split after Dems coaxed "Jumpin" Jim Jeffords to join them.
These are the two supposedly smart "experts" that are going to lead us back to the White House and Control of Congress?
They should have named their PAC the Anti-Conservative Victory Fund.
So then why were Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty told to "stand down" or is that not true?
7:40 a.m. -- The first wave of Americans are evacuated to Tripoli via airplane.
10 a.m. -- A second group, including those killed in the attack, are flown to Tripoli.
So where are they, and why has nobody including WND, National Enquirer, FNC, British Press, Al Jazzera etc interviewed any of them?
Well, lets give blame where it is also due, not just Obama and the Lib politiicans....Its the undeducated masses!
I just listened to Pelosi...she is illogical, her speech is tangential and she can not carry on a clear, logical "argument" AT ALL. What frightens me is that MOST Americans think just like her, talk like her and also can not follow an argument logically. When they hear her, it makes all the sense in the world to them...a nation of borderline dementia voters ( no offense to true dementia sufferers).
Lindsey Graham drop the bombshell on Face the Nation!
He says he doesn't think the nominations of Hagel and Brennan should go forward until he and we learn what Obama was doing on the night of Benghazi!
You are right, Bray. I think I even prepared him for the worst. Most science dept. have bought into the lie.
The media needs to be waterboarded until they tell the truth to the ignorant masses.
OMGosh! Love the beer shelves! Snow formed audience is truth at 32 degrees at least. Great job!
Very innovative, I'd say! Found both on FaceBook this morning.
And if memory serves me correctly, Rove was the guy who wouldn't let Bush get out there and defend the lies. I still feel Saddam sent his WMD to Syria. And many, many more.
This is a problem the current R's are having. They need to scream louder than the left. Forget this civility thing. Fight fire with fire.
Let's just use drones on them!!!ha.
"So where are they, and why has nobody including WND, National Enquirer, FNC, British Press, Al Jazzera etc interviewed any of them?"
THAT is the question Brennen Panetta et al should be asked.
Besides a Montana nose that picks up every snowstorm within three hundred miles, I've only got my catcher's collection of broken bones to kick my butt when a front goes through, but I do believe I will reject any offers to trade.
...hip AND a knee? Man, you've got my deepest sympathy.
Isn't that the truth? I used that very phrase, on another thread! It applies to every single pol and wanna be I know, right now.
But for ONE........... BEN CARSON.
9:40 p.m.: A senior State Department security officer at the consulate in Benghazi called the CIA base, at an annex about a mile away, and requested assistance. "The compound is under attack. People are moving through the gates." CIA officers at the base can hear the alarm, and a team immediately begins gathering weapons and preparing to leave
10:04: A seven-person rescue squad from the agency's Global Response Staff leaves in two vehicles. The team leader is a career CIA officer and includes a contractor named Tyrone Woods, who later died. During the previous 24-minute interval, the CIA base chief calls the 17 February Brigade, other militias and the Libyan intelligence service seeking vehicles with 50-caliber machine guns. Nobody responds. The team leader and the base chief agree at 10:04 they can't wait any longer and head for the consulate.
10:10: The rescue team reached a chaotic intersection a few blocks from the consulate. Militias gathered there have several 50-caliber machine guns, which the CIA team tries unsuccessfully to commandeer; three militiamen offer to help. The rescue party now includes 10 people: six GRS officers; a CIA translator, and the three Libyan volunteers.
10:20: A reconnaissance party of two GRS officers heads to the consulate; at 10:25, three more GRS officers enter the main gate and begin engaging the attackers. The firefight lasts about 15 minutes.
10:40: Members of the CIA team enter the burning inferno of "Villa C," where Ambassador Christopher Stevens is believed to be hiding. CIA officers try numerous times to reach the "safe room," but are driven back by the intense smoke and fire. Small arms fire continues from the Libyan attackers.
11:11: An unarmed military Predator drone arrives over the compound to provide aerial reconnaissance. The drone had been diverted from a mission over Darnah, Libya, about 90 minutes away. But without weapons, it can't help much.
11:15: The CIA team puts the State Department group into a vehicle and sends them to the agency base; at 11:30, the CIA officers depart under fire and reach the annex six minutes later.
11:56: CIA officers at the annex are attacked by a rocket-propelled grenade and small arms. Sporadic attacks continue for about another hour. The attacks stop at 1:01 a.m., and some assume the fight is over.
1:15 a.m.: CIA reinforcements arrive on a 45-minute flight from Tripoli in a plane they've hastily chartered. The Tripoli team includes four GRS security officers, a CIA case officer and two U.S. military personnel who are on loan to the agency. They don't leave Benghazi airport until 4:30. The delay is caused by negotiations with Libyan authorities over permission to leave the airport, obtaining vehicles, and the need to frame a clear mission plan. The first idea is to go to a Benghazi hospital to recover Stevens, who they correctly suspect is already dead. But the hospital is surrounded by the al-Qaida-linked Ansar al-Shariah militia that mounted the consulate attack.
5:04: The team from Tripoli arrives at the CIA base. Glen Doherty, one of the GRS men from Tripoli, goes to the roof and joins Woods in firing positions.
5:15: A new Libyan assault begins, this time with mortars. Two rounds miss and the next three hit the roof. The rooftop defenders never "laser the mortars," as has been reported. They don't know they're in place until the indirect fire begins, nor are they observed by the drone overhead. The defenders have focused their laser sights earlier on several Libyan attackers, as warnings not to fire. At 5:26 the attack is over. Woods and Doherty are dead and two others are wounded.
6:00: Libyan forces from the military intelligence service finally arrive, now with 50 vehicles. They escort the Americans to the airport. A first group of 18, including two wounded, depart at 7 a.m. A second group of 12, plus the four dead, leave at 10 for Tripoli and then the long flight back to America.
Several things are worth noting. It is obvious that we had problems with Libyan authorities who prevented the reaction team from reaching our facilities for more than three hours.
Although it appears that the annex was hit twice that night, the impression you get from the MSM and the Administration was that there were just two attacks that night-one against the Mission compound and one seven hours later against the Annex. In fact, the annex was hit twice.
No one asked Hillary if she was on the phone with the Libyan government to clear up the delay problems at the Benghazi airport and to ask for more protection for our facilities once the first attack on the annex was finished. There was close to four hours between attacks on the annex, which held all of our surviving personnel.
No, all these reports about idle carriers, carriers leaving the Persian Gulf, etc, are the Obama administration's ploys to scare the American people and Republicans into making the concessions on the budget that HE wants.
Now if we could just have a few Republicans SAY THIS when they are in front of a camera, we might have a chance.
[Well, actually I did the former (but for cardiovascular purposes)...]
I, unfortunately, have to be careful to avoid anything that may contribute to my heart problems, that is why I only READ the news and not subject myself LISTENING to it.
My comment was not a meant as a personal attack but
rather expressing what has worked for me as a solution to prevent agita and outrage.
I just stopped feeding the media beast.
Take a look at the CIA timeline I provided. The CIA claims that no such order was ever given.
So where are they, and why has nobody including WND, National Enquirer, FNC, British Press, Al Jazzera etc interviewed any of them?
The Obama Administration is not allowing it. It will take a whistle-blower to get this information. Congress should at least be requesting that these people be interviewed privately since most of them appear to be CIA and other intelligence agency personnel who don't want their identities exposed.
Did you see Buttboy Beckel have a hissy fit over the horror of Dr. Carson speaking truth to power at the National Prayer Breakfast.
Just where did he think the Won would show up to get an earful? Just loved the look on his face. Dr. Carson better watch his back. He got off the plantation. Sorry, that's RASIST!!!
Do you think the whole thing a cia op? Will the administration use cia as an eventual excuse?
If the purpose of the attack was not to hold Stevens as a hostage or to kill him because he knew too much why were they attacking?
Way to go! Money well spent supporting FR!
If possible, Face The Nation is a must see.
Linda Graham rocked it today!
Otherwise, wait for the transcript by Alas Babylon!
[Lindsey Graham drop the bombshell on Face the Nation!]
I wish I could share your enthusiasm with Grahams comments but he is up for reelection in 2014.
He has learned well from his mentor McCain, it's all about how to get reelected...talk as a tough Conservative and facetime...face time...facetime. (no deeds required)
Love ya' Onyx.
rinos due for extinction.....
Isn't that the truth? I used that very phrase, on another thread! It applies to every single pol and wanna be I know, right now.
But for ONE........... BEN CARSON.
I think they will continue to avoid answering...using the "it's under investigation" excuse. until a time down the road when everyone's forgotten and a report will be released as part of the friday media dump in hopes that no one sees it.
Around every six years of so there is a short term alien abduction in South Carolina.
Unfortunately they keep bringing back the original...

Critical Thinking Assignments Broaden Student Perspectives
When Mark Ferris, Ph.D., a professor at the John Cook School of Business at Saint Louis University, stands before students in his statistics classes, he is truly encountering faces and perspectives from across the country and around the world.
|Mark Ferris, Ph.D.
Ferris, an associate professor in the department of operations management and ITM, says teaching his students critical thinking skills isn't a one-size-fits-all proposition.
"While some life experiences are universal for the students, their exposure to news and information as well as the way their home political and community structures operate, can mean each person has their own unique interpretation of some of the material," Ferris said. "I try and change their mindset through the dataset. I believe philosopher John Dewey said it well. 'The essence of critical thinking is suspended judgment.'"
With that philosophy in mind, Ferris set out to create some new and innovative assignments and discussion topics that would help students not only gather and interpret statistics but also help them learn to effectively communicate their findings to an audience from a broad range of backgrounds - much as they will when they leave their academic years and enter the workforce.
As part of his spring Intro to Statistics course, Ferris asked students to read an evidentiary book chosen from a list of 10 titles ranging from "Freakonomics" to "Thinking, Fast and Slow" to "Moneyball." Next they were asked to write a 500-word review where they would critically assess the book's contents. The project's next step was preparing a 10-minute Power Point presentation using only seven slides to share with the class.
On presentation day, the students met in the Anheuser-Busch Auditorium and broke into groups of three with each giving round robin presentations with the other two on their teams coming up with questions for a follow-up Q&A. After the group presentation, two students were randomly chosen to give their presentations on stage to the entire class.
Ferris said one of his main goals is for students to become better critical thinkers and the assignment called on them to engage in critical thinking in a number of different ways, and resulted in some interesting outcomes.
"I was somewhat surprised at how popular the assignment was - especially among the Chinese students," Ferris said. "This could be pretty scary stuff for someone who is not a native speaker but I found that not only was there an overall positive reaction from the Chinese students, they were also fearless in tackling some of the most difficult and challenging books."
He was equally surprised by some of the student feedback about the assignment with comments about improving their reading skills and analysis, learning to trust statistics and not just what the "experts" tell them and communicating their analysis to a larger group.
In the broader picture each student, whether international or American, benefits from their shared interactions and collaboration as well as their individual observations - a result that will make any professor happy.
And what new class project is in the innovation pipeline for Ferris?
"This semester, as part of the SLU Mission, we are studying statistical issues surrounding income inequality and poverty in the U.S. and world through the use of Twitter. Every student has to sign up for Twitter and come up with seven new statistical tweets a week, with one of them focusing on differing aspect of poverty.
Last week it was the relationship between obesity and poverty, and this week it is infant mortality rates. We focus mostly on the statistical aspects, and not so much on policy. So far it's working well, but there are always ways to improve. I'll be reassessing this new strain of homework at the end of the semester." Follow on Twitter @ferristician.

|Meeting Description:
|CoSLI-3: Workshop on Computational Models of Spatial Language Interpretation and Generation
Co-located with the 10th International Conference on Computational Semantics
Potsdam, Germany
March 19, 2013
The development of a wide class of so-called situated systems such as robotics, virtual characters, and Geographic Information Systems is heavily dependent on the existence of adequate models of spatial language in order to allow users to interact with these systems when standard graphical, textual, or tactile modes of communication are infeasible or inconvenient.
While early models of spatial term semantics relied on geometrically motivated formal representations, it is now widely recognized that spatial term meaning is also dependent on functional and pragmatic features. Consequently, representations of spatial term semantics must accommodate geometric, functional and pragmatics aspects of situated meaning. The aim of this workshop is to draw together the often orthogonal views on formal symbolic and situated spatial language in order to foster theories and representations which do justice to the complexity and situated nature of spatial language use.

It is impossible to understand America without understanding the history of African Americans. In nearly seven hundred entries, the Encyclopedia of African American History, 1619-1895 documents the full range of the African American experience during that period—from the arrival of the first slave ship to the death of Frederick Douglass—and shows how all aspects of American culture, history, and national identity have been profoundly influenced by the experience of African Americans. This landmark achievement, originally published in three volumes, is now available for the first time as an easily-searched, quick access e-book.
The Encyclopedia covers an extraordinary range of subjects. Major topics such as "Abolitionism," "Black Nationalism," the "Dred Scott case," "Reconstruction," "Slave Rebellions and Insurrections," the "Underground Railroad," and "Voting Rights" are given the in-depth treatment one would expect. But the encyclopedia also contains hundreds of fascinating entries on less obvious subjects, such as the "Black Seafarers," "Buffalo Soldiers," the "Catholic Church and African Americans," "New York African Free Schools," the "Secret Six," and much more. In addition, the Encyclopedia offers brief biographies of important African Americans—as well as white Americans who have played a significant role in African American history—from Crispus Attucks and John Brown to Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass, Sarah Grimke, Nat Turner, Phillis Wheatley, and many others.
All of the Encyclopedia's entries are accessibly written and free of jargon and technical terms. Selective bibliographies and cross-references accompanying each article direct readers to related entries within the Encyclopedia and to primary sources and scholarly works beyond it. A chronology of major events and nearly 300 black and white illustrations enhance the work's usefulness.
