36,000 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, company managers, Wall Street analysts and reporters have descended on Omaha for the weekend, and half are here in the main Qwest Center arena, half are in other parts of the complex watching along on jumbo screens. While 36,000 sounds like a lot, and it is a lot, it's still less than last year's meeting: the first and only time in our records that Berkshire's attendance has dropped.
I suspect this has a lot to do with the Elephant in the Room—i.e. the David Sokol Affair, which has not only caused much in the way of "I told you so"-type commentary from the somewhat secret club of Warren Buffett Loathers (which is bigger than you might think), but even a lot of head-scratching and "What was he thinking?" from the bigger, public club of investors and non-investors who pretty much view everything Buffett does and says as being The Word.
Headcount and Elephant aside, what all 36,000 of us are watching is the hour-long movie that traditionally kicks off the proceedings an hour before the start of the main event: six hours of questions-and-answers with Buffett and his longtime business partner, Berkshire vice-chairman Charlie Munger.
(Unfortunately, Buffett is portrayed by Ed Asner—Mary Tyler Moore's old TV boss—and Asner looks and sounds more like Mary Tyler Moore's old TV boss than he looks and sounds like Warren Buffett.)
But for now, all eyes are focused on what comes next: grainy, 20 year-old footage of a man giving testimony before a Congressional committee.
So begins the centerpiece of the Berkshire movie—a brief, riveting video clip of Warren Buffett testifying in the midst of a financial scandal, in which bond traders at Salomon Brothers were caught trying to corner the U.S.Treasury market.
For reasons lost to the history, Buffett was testifying before the "Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance of the Energy and Commerce Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives," and he might as well have been testifying before "Subcommittee on Getting TV Cameras into a Room and Looking Serious While We're Actually Thinking We Would Kill for a Scotch and Soda Right Now," for all the good Congressional testimony has ever done the U.S. Financial System.
In any event, Buffett continues his testimony in his gruff, familiar voice (his hair blacker but his eyebrows just as bushy as now), and the words carry a familiar sense of moral rectitude Buffett has been projecting for the better part of his near-50 years as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway:
"The nation has a right to expect its rules and laws to be obeyed. And at Salomon, certain of these were broken. Almost all of Salomon's 8,000 employees regret this as deeply as I do. And I apologize on their behalf as well as mine."
The reason Buffett's solemn, straightforward testimony is shown to the Berkshire shareholders and managers here at the meeting every year is this: to reinforce the message that, above all things, Buffett wants to protect Berkshire's reputation, even at the expense of profits.
Buffett describes his new mandate for Salomon's people
"After they first obey all rules, I then want employees to ask themselves whether they are willing to have any contemplated act appear the next day on the front page of their local paper, to be read by their spouses, children, and friends…
"If they follow this test they need not fear my other message to them: Lose money for the firm, and I will be understanding; lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless."
Those words, spoken 20 years ago, carry a special meaning at this meeting, thanks to a press release that stunned Wall Street and many of the people in this arena.
The press release that stopped Wall Street in its tracks and left investors around the world in a state of disbelief and wonder went across the wires on March 30, 2011, one month before the Berkshire meeting.
The author was Warren Buffett, investment legend and "Oracle of Omaha," and what followed, in 14 short paragraphs of Buffett's characteristically clear, straightforward style, was the announcement of the abrupt and unexpected resignation of David Sokol following what seemed, to most professionals reading the news, to be shockingly inappropriate behavior.
Sokol had been the longtime chairman of Berkshire's hugely profitable MidAmerican Energy utility and was widely perceived to be first in line to succeed Warren Buffett himself at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway, and what he had done, Buffett disclosed, was this: he traded in shares of Lubrizol for himself while lobbying Buffett to buy the chemical company for Berkshire, without disclosing his trades until after the $10 billion deal was announced.
Not only did Sokol make a personal profit of some $3 million based on the figures in Buffett's letter, he made Warren Buffett look foolish.
After all, trading for your own account while working on behalf of another company, whether for a profit of three dollars or $3 million, is called "front-running" on Wall Street, and it is one of the first things even a summer intern learns never—ever—to do.
Sokol, of course, was no summer intern. He was a veteran, not merely of boardrooms but also of the ways of Wall Street. He also ran MidAmerican Energy, one of the largest Berkshire businesses, and he was quite well paid for doing so—close to $90 million on cash compensation plus another $145 million in stock-related proceeds over the course of his decade-long career with Berkshire.
Why would Sokol risk that position, not to mention the prestige of being considered a potential successor to Warren Buffett as CEO of the greatest financial success story of our times, by doing something so tawdry?
Buffett offered no answers in his March 30 press release, but neither did he display any of the "ruthlessness" he had promised Congress 20 years ago. In fact, he appeared to dismiss what Sokol did, as others had, writing:
"Neither Dave nor I feel his Lubrizol purchases were in any way unlawful."
For all the good Warren Buffett has done for his shareholders over the years—and growing Berkshire's stock price from $15 a share to over $100,000 a share is only part of what has drawn 36,000 shareholders to Omaha this weekend—it is that press release that is one everyone's mind here this morning.

Lift up a rock and another snake comes slithering out from the ongoing University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) scandal, now riding as "Climategate".
Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU's unfolding Climategate scandal. In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms "a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people".
"The files contain so much material that it is going to take some time t o put it all in context," says Ball. "However, enough is already known to underscore their explosive nature. It is already clear the entire claims and positions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are based on falsified manipulated material and is therefore completely compromised.
"The fallout will be extensive as material continues to emerge. Reputations of the scientists involved are already destroyed, however fringe players will continue to be identified and their reputations destroyed or sullied."
While the mainstream media is bending into pretzels to keep the scandal under the rug, Climategate is already the biggest scientific scandal in history because of the global policy implications.
A throwback to the intro of the television series Dragnet, "Ladies and Gentlemen: "The story you are about to hear is true, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent", the innocent in Climategate have already been thrown to the ravening wolves.
"There is a multitude of small but frightening stories in the massive files," Ball writes. "For example I've known solar physicists Sallie Baliunas and Willie Soon for a long time. I've published articles with Willie and enjoyed extensive communication. I was on advisory committees with them when Sallie suddenly and politely withdrew from the fray. I don't know if the following events were contributing factors but it is likely.
"Baliunas and Soon were authors of excellent work confirming the existence of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) from a multitude of sources. Their work challenged attempts to get rid of the MWP because it contradicted the claim by the proponents of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Several scientists challenged the claim that the latter part of the 20th century was the warmest ever. They knew the claim was false, many warmer periods occurred in the past. Michael Mann 'got rid' of the MWP with his production of the hockey stick, but Soon and Baliunas were problematic. What better than have a powerful academic destroy their credibility for you? Sadly, there are always people who will do the dirty work."
Indeed, Holdren's emails show how sincere scientists would be made into raw "entertainment".
"A perfect person and opportunity appeared. On 16th October 2003 Michael Mann, infamous for his lead in the 'hockey stick' that dominated the 2001 IPCC Report, sent an email to people involved in the CRU scandal; "
Dear All,
Thought you would be interested in this exchange, which John Holdren of Harvard has been kind enough to pass along…" At the time Holdren was Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy & Director, Program in Science, Technology, & Public Policy, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government. (Editor's Note: He is now Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology—informally known as the United States Science Czar. )
""In an email on October16, 2003 from John Holdren to Michael Mann and Tom Wigley we are told:
""I'm forwarding for your entertainment an exchange that followed from my being quoted in the Harvard Crimson to the effect that you and your colleagues are right and my "Harvard" colleagues Soon and Baliunas are wrong about what the evidence shows concerning surface temperatures over the past millennium. The cover note to faculty and postdocs in a regular Wednesday breakfast discussion group on environmental science and public policy in Harvard's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is more or less self-explanatory."
"This is what Holdren sent to the Wednesday Breakfast group.
"I append here an e-mail correspondence I have engaged in over the past few days trying to educate a Soon/Baliunas supporter who originally wrote to me asking how I could think that Soon and Baliunas are wrong and Mann et al. are right (a view attributed to me, correctly, in the Harvard Crimson). This individual apparently runs a web site on which he had been touting the Soon/Baliunas position."
"The exchange Holdren refers to is a challenge by Nick Schulz editor of Tech Central Station (TCS). On August 9, 2003 Schulz wrote;
"In a recent Crimson story on the work of Soon and Baliunas, who have written for my website [1 techcentralstation.com, you are quoted as saying: My impression is that the critics are right. It s unfortunate that so much attention is paid to a flawed analysis, but that's what happens when something happens to support the political climate in Washington. Do you feel the same way about the work of Mann et. al.? If not why not?"
"Holdren provides lengthy responses on October 13, 14, and 16 but comments fail to answer Schulz's questions. After the first response Schulz replies, "I guess my problem concerns what lawyers call the burden of proof. The burden weighs heavily, much more heavily, given the claims on Mann et.al. than it does on Soon/Baliunas. Would you agree?" Of course, Holdren doesn't agree. He replies, "But, in practice, burden of proof is an evolving thing-it evolves as the amount of evidence relevant to a particular proposition grows." No it doesn't evolve; it is either on one side or the other. This argument is in line with what has happened with AGW. He then demonstrates his lack of understanding of science and climate science by opting for Mann and his hockey stick over Soon and Baliunas. His entire defense and position devolves to a political position. His attempt to belittle Soon and Baliunas in front of colleagues is a measure of the man's blindness and political opportunism that pervades everything he says or does.
"Schulz provides a solid summary when he writes, "I'll close by saying I'm willing to admit that, as someone lacking a PhD, I could be punching above my weight. But I will ask you a different but related question. How much hope is there for reaching reasonable public policy decisions that affect the lives of millions if the science upon which those decisions must be made is said to be by definition beyond the reach of those people?"
"We now know it was deliberately placed beyond the reach of the people by the group that he used to ridicule Soon and Baliunas. Holdren was blinded by his political views, which as his record shows are frightening. One web site synthesizes his position on over-population as follows, "Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A "Planetary Regime" with the power of life and death over American citizens."
"Holdren has a long history of seeking total government control. He was involved in the Club of Rome providing Paul Ehrlich with the scientific data in his bet with Julian Simon. Ehrlich lost the bet. Holdren's behavior in this sorry episode with Soon and Baliunas is too true to form and shows the leopard never changes his spots," Ball concludes.
Meanwhile, even with an AWOL mainstream media, the Climategate snakes continue to slither out from under the rocks.
Event Proceeds Go To the David Suzuki Foundation
Changes in the global economy continue to shape the world and the environment in which we live. Guests of the 2009 Allstream Global Forum will be the first in Canada to hear former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore share his new and compelling vision of how business can play a pivotal role in ensuring these changes are for the better through innovation and investment in new technology. Proceeds from the event, which will take place on November 24, 2009, at the Allstream Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto, will go to the David Suzuki Foundation and its efforts to help transform the Canadian economy in ways that are consistent with a sustainable future. Co-founded by award-winning scientist, environmentalist and broadcaster Dr. David Suzuki, the David Suzuki Foundation is a world-renowned organization committed to helping Canadians achieve sustainability within a generation.

Happy Valentine's Day, honey! Let's talk about…retirement.
While retirement-related topics may not top your list of subjects to discuss with your spouse over a romantic dinner this Thursday, it's better to address them sooner than later. Because let's face it: If you and your spouse have different ideas about how you want to spend your time in retirement, you risk spending your golden years fighting over money.
According to the most recent annual survey of 5,400 U.S. households by Hearts & Wallets, a Hingham, Mass. financial consulting firm, many couples may be headed for trouble. Only 38% of couples engage in retirement planning together, the survey found. (Another 18% say either they or their spouse has engaged in solo retirement planning in the past.) And just 39% say they and their spouse share a similar vision for retirement.
The new survey echoes some ideas that frequently surface around this time of year. In a survey of couples that Fidelity Investments published in 2011, as many as 60% disagreed on such important issues as when they will retire and whether they will work in retirement.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle couples face when planning for retirement is a lack of interest on the part of one spouse–often, the woman. According to Hearts & Wallets:
- 21% of people worry that their spouse won't be able to manage the household finances alone.
- 38% of women expressed either high or moderate anxiety about financial matters, versus 29% of men.
- More than 60% of middle aged women "confess to being confused by the plethora of investment information."
Now for the good news: A growing number of financial advisers are helping couples think about the decisions they must make in order to come up with an effective financial plan for retirement.
As I highlighted in a recent Wall Street Journal article, the best way to start is by thinking about how you want to spend your time in retirement. To get the ball rolling, George Kinder, a certified financial planner and founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, trains advisers to ask clients three questions: What would you do if you had all the time and money in the world? How would you live if you knew you had only five to 10 years left? And what would you most regret if you died tomorrow?
"The third question is key," Kinder told me. "It is fundamentally important not to compromise on something that, if unfulfilled, would leave you with a deep regret." Kinder describes helping a Massachusetts couple in their 50s who had seemingly incompatible interests. While the newly retired husband wanted to sail around the world, the wife was prone to seasickness and was unready to give up her gardening business. Their solution: He spent three months sailing off the coasts of Ireland and England, and when she joined him, they stayed in port and visited gardens.
When it comes to the financial aspects of planning for retirement, couples should take steps to leave the spouse with greater longevity—typically, the wife—in good shape financially after the other dies. Because women, on average, outlive men by three to four years and face longer periods of disability later in life, the financial situation of a widow can be especially precarious. Financial hardship can arise simply because the survivor must live on one Social Security check rather than two or a former employer reduces or eliminates a deceased spouse's pension or retiree medical benefits.
Steps couples should consider to protect a surviving spouse include:
- Having the higher earner delay claiming Social Security. While you can start these benefits any time between ages 62 and 70, the longer you wait, the higher your monthly payment will be. That could make a big difference for the surviving spouse, who could be eligible to collect your full benefit when you die.
- Opting for a lower monthly pension or annuity payment to receive what's called a "joint life" benefit, which ensures payments will continue for as long as one of the members of the couple lives.
- Purchasing life insurance coverage so the surviving spouse will receive a death benefit to cover future medical expenses or make up for the loss of the other's Social Security benefit.
- Purchasing long-term-care insurance to ensure the surviving spouse has someone to look after him or her if necessary.

text: Home Improvements Done Right April 22, 2015 Being a homeowner can be a challenge. There's always something to do, fix or replace. Before you start your next home improvement project, think about ways you could use it as an opportunity to make your home safer or more energy efficient. We've outlined some ideas to get you started below. The roof on your home is subject to severe weather in the form of extreme heat, high winds, excessive rain or snow that can cause repeated damage requiring repairs. When it's time for a new one: Weather resistant shingles can decrease or eliminate future roof damage and may be eligible for a homeowners insurance premium discount. Light-colored or reflective shingles, reduce your roof temperature by 50-60 degrees and your energy bills. (energy.gov) Landscaping is great way to beautify your home and increase curb appeal. Trees and shrubs can also offer protection from weather and discourage burglars. Outdoor air conditioning units exposed to direct sunlight work harder and use more energy. Planting shade around them reduces energy use. Attractive low growing, thorny bushes near easy accessible windows deter would-be thieves and add character to your home. Household equipment like a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer have lots of options and features to choose from. Make sure your purchase includes: Certified ENERGY STAR® products. They will increase energy efficiency, reduce your energy costs and in some cases rebates, tax credits or insurance discounts are available. (energystar.gov) Insurance coverage. Most traditional homeowner's policies don't cover losses due to mechanical failure or electrical breakdown. Add Residential Equipment Breakdown coverage for your TV, water heater, computer and more. As you continue to make home improvements, it's important to document new purchases. Taking photos and maintaining a list of make, model, purchase date and price go a long way in the event you need to make a claim. Contact your Farm Bureau agent to make sure you have the right coverage at the right time.

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh defended himself in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. He says you can trust him to be impartial. Did he undo the damage he did during his hearing last week?
Just a reminder: the purpose of this blog is to reveal what's really going on with written communications. I'm not here to argue Kavanaugh's credentials or how senators decide how to vote. The question I'll address is more specific: did his op-ed do what it was intended to do?

Since my nomination in July, there's been a frenzy on the left to come up with something, anything to block my confirmation. Shortly after I was nominated, the Democratic Senate leader said he would "oppose me with everything he's got." A Democratic senator on this committee publicly referred to me as evil. Evil. Think about that word. And said that those that supported me were "complicit and evil." Another Democratic senator on this committee said, "Judge Kavanaugh is your worst nightmare." A former head of the Democratic National Committee said, "Judge Kavanaugh will threaten the lives of millions of Americans for decades to come."
This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups.
This is the hole Kavanaugh is attempting to dig himself out of.

- Readers. Who is the op-ed aimed at? Two groups. First, the broader judicial and legal community, who will be arguing cases in front of Kavanaugh and discussing his opinions. And second, the four senators who remain undecided and may decide the fate of his nomination.
- Objective. What change is the op-ed trying to create? The title of the op-ed is "I Am an Independent, Impartial Judge." So there's no mystery here: Kavanaugh seeks to dispel the impression he created that he is a biased hothead, and replace it with the idea that he is an appropriate choice for the Supreme Court.
- Action. Kavanaugh wants the senators to vote for him and the legal community to respect him.
- iMpression. Much more than most pieces of writing, this one must leave a good impression. If the oral testimony was wild, the op-ed must be rational, well-argued, and free from bias.
Did the op-ed do its job?
Let's take a look at some excerpts from the op-ed:
I Am an Independent, Impartial Judge
Yes, I was emotional last Thursday. I hope everyone can understand I was there as a son, husband and dad.
. . . [A] good judge must be an umpire—a neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no political party, litigant or policy. As Justice Kennedy has stated, judges do not make decisions to reach a preferred result. Judges make decisions because the law and the Constitution compel the result. Over the past 12 years, I have ruled sometimes for the prosecution and sometimes for criminal defendants, sometimes for workers and sometimes for businesses, sometimes for environmentalists and sometimes for coal miners. In each case, I have followed the law. I do not decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. I am not a pro-plaintiff or pro-defendant judge. I am not a pro-prosecution or pro-defense judge. I am a pro-law judge. . . .
The Supreme Court must never be viewed as a partisan institution. The justices do not sit on opposite sides of an aisle. They do not caucus in separate rooms. As I have said repeatedly, if confirmed to the court, I would be part of a team of nine, committed to deciding cases according to the Constitution and laws of the United States. I would always strive to be a team player. . . .
I testified before the Judiciary Committee last Thursday to defend my family, my good name and my lifetime of public service. My hearing testimony was forceful and passionate. That is because I forcefully and passionately denied the allegation against me. At times, my testimony—both in my opening statement and in response to questions—reflected my overwhelming frustration at being wrongly accused, without corroboration, of horrible conduct completely contrary to my record and character. My statement and answers also reflected my deep distress at the unfairness of how this allegation has been handled.
I was very emotional last Thursday, more so than I have ever been. I might have been too emotional at times. I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said. I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad. I testified with five people foremost in my mind: my mom, my dad, my wife, and most of all my daughters.
Going forward, you can count on me to be the same kind of judge and person I have been for my entire 28-year legal career: hardworking, even-keeled, open-minded, independent and dedicated to the Constitution and the public good. As a judge, I have always treated colleagues and litigants with the utmost respect. I have been known for my courtesy on and off the bench. I have not changed. I will continue to be the same kind of judge I have been for the last 12 years. . . .
I revere the Constitution. I believe that an independent and impartial judiciary is essential to our constitutional republic. If confirmed by the Senate to serve on the Supreme Court, I will keep an open mind in every case and always strive to preserve the Constitution of the United States and the American rule of law.
So, did the op-ed do its job?
Judge Kavanaugh does not in this description apologize for anything he said. He did not apologize in the op-ed for his response to Senator Klobuchar, or for his citation of the Clintons and left-wing opposition groups.
As close as he gets is "I might have been too emotional at times. I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said." There are no specifics. His reasoning behind this statement is that he was there as a son, a husband, and a dad. (Wasn't he there as a Supreme Court nominee?)
The rest of the op-ed is clear, reasoned, and sober. It basically says, "judge me by my record." This is fair. But it does not undo the impression left by Kavanaugh's testimony in the Senate.
Basically, if you feel you did something wrong and were criticized, you have two possible options. You can say "I did this specific thing, and I'm sorry." Or you can say "I was right. I don't need to apologize."
Kavanaugh attempted a third option: "I made mistakes, but I won't be specific about them, and I had an excuse because I felt threatened and was acting as a father." This never works. It is not an effective strategy for a corporate executive or, for that matter, for any adult, let alone a nominee for Supreme Court Justice.
You may or may not believe it is fair to condemn Kavanaugh for a woman's accusations about what he did in high school 36 years ago.
But it is certainly fair to judge him for what he said, and how he said it, in the Senate last week.
Judge Kavanaugh's op-ed says, basically "I am fair and impartial when I am a judge, but I am combative and emotional when I am criticized, and I react as an angry father, not as a judge."
If you believe that a judge should be evaluated only on what does on the bench, and not on his other behavior, then you'll be fine with this.
But if you believe a judge should be evaluated on what he says and how he acts during confirmation hearings, the op-ed fails. It does not undo any of the impressions that Kavanaugh left. It's a waste of time, and will change nothing.

I publish a blog post this interesting every single weekday. Sign up. It's worth it, really.
5 responses to "Does the Brett Kavanaugh op-ed make its case?"
You hit it on the head.
He wins on the logic battle, which is often thought of as the most important part of being a lawyer/judge. (For most professions, we think of an actual skill as the most important aspect. Both are important, but neither is the most important.)
His conduct at the circus the other day betray a lack of Emotional Intelligence, which is the most important. Emotional: good, actually natural and necessary (he should have led with the anger in both the oral testimony and the commentary, period). Combative: bad and dumb.
While the commentary is measured, it misses the emotion and does not address the onlyquestion that was out there: "What, Senator, will it take from me to change your vote?" Maybe, he is gambling that he needs none of them to change or realizes none are likely to. Maybe that explains why he did not apologize.
Interestingly, I am not readily recalling another case where we have someone whose actions we admire and words we do not. (Maybe, "communication" is a better word than "words.")
Readers. Who he aiming the op-ed at? I would expand your analysis. This goes beyond his nomination. You mentioned the 2,000 law professors who are saying he shouldn't even remain a judge, let alone a member of the Supreme Court — his entire career is at stake. His reputation is at stake. Many people of all stripes will no longer believe the story he tells about himself, so his relationships in society (and possibly his understanding of his own identity) are at stake.
"I hope everyone can understand I was there as a son, husband and dad." That is such a curious statement. Do you know anyone who goes into a job interview as a son, husband, and dad? That's why I say this op ed is also for them.
Has this accusation made him feel like a teen again? If he was, indeed, going there as a role model, and defending himself as a good son, he didn't act like it. He acted like a teen. He owes his own family much more of an apology.
His entire opening paragraph was a list of people who are credible and upstanding — the company he now keeps. He desperately needs to appear credible. But as you stated, it would have been much more compelling if the article had begun with a heartfelt apology addressing specifics.
I know that by "team player" he means he's a fit for the culture of the Supreme Court, but I don't think of the Supreme Court as a team. That would defeat its purpose. The use of the word "team" makes me shudder when I think of its potential meaning.
The entire process has been very upsetting. This op ed does absolutely nothing to change that. I don't think it convinces anyone of anything — it's just more whining.
Sorry, I yelled at you during my job interview. It's because I am Dad.
Sorry, I couldn't have commited that crime because I went to Yale and studied during high school.
For a lawyer, he has weak logic.
If you didn't hear Senator Collins talk yesterday, you should. You probably wouldn't have written this blog post other than for click bait.
On the contrary, I analyze the nation's most interesting written documents every day. Click bait doesn't enter into it.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Israeli media on Tuesday picked up on the fact that renewed Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations in Washington had gotten off to a rocky start after Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas declared that what he was aiming for was an independent state ethnically cleansed of all Jews.
"In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli — civilian or soldier — on our lands," Abbas told reporters in Cairo on Monday following a meeting with interim Egyptian President Adly Mansour.
The statement was a difficult one for Israelis to swallow, especially since one of Abbas' peace demands is that Israel provide thousands more work permits to Palestinian laborers and open its gates to settlement by millions of so-called "Palestinian refugees."
But that the Palestinians expect their future state to be Judenrein - cleansed of Jews - was never in doubt.
In an interview with Tablet Magazine in 2011, Palestinian Ambassador to the US Maen Rashid Areikat clearly stated that no Jew would be allowed to reside in the State of Palestine.
"Any Jew who is inside the borders of Palestine will have to leave?" Areikat was asked by interviewer David Samuels, to which the ambassador answered, "Absolutely."
Similar statements have been uttered by Palestinian officials since the launch of the peace process nearly two decades ago.
In fact, the Palestinian Authority under Abbas continues to enforce the death penalty against any Arabs who dare to sell land to Israeli Jews.
In 2012, Hebron resident Mohammed Abu Shahala was reportedly tortured and sentenced to death by the Palestinian Authority for brokering the sale of a local apartment to a Jewish family.
In 2010, a Palestinian court ruled in favor of an appeal by public prosecutor Ahmed al-Mughani requesting that anyone found guilty of selling land to a Jew automatically receive the death penalty.
Al-Mughani felt the law in its prior form had been too lax by allowing Abbas to indefinitely delay the execution of any "traitor" who had dealings with the hated Jews.

Google is warning Gmail users that the company believes that they may be targeted in state-sponsored attacks.
Though Google did not mention the Chinese government by name, China has been a frequent target of such allegations since Google blamed the country's government for the Aurora attacks. Tuesday, Eric Grosse, Google's vice president of security engineering, blogged that the company is constantly on the lookout for malicious activity on its systems, particularly attempts to illegally access user accounts.
Those users who the company believes may be the target of state-sponsored attacks will see a warning that states: "We believe state-sponsored attacks may be attempting to compromise your account or computer."
"If you see this warning, it does not necessarily mean that your account has been hijacked," Grosse explained. "It just means that we believe you may be a target of phishing or malware, for example, and that you should take immediate steps to secure your account, Grosse said.
Further reading
"Here are some things you should do immediately: create a unique password that has a good mix of capital and lowercase letters, as well as punctuation marks and numbers; enable two-step verification as additional security; and update your browser, operating system, plug-ins, and document editors. Attackers often send links to fake sign-in pages to try to steal your password, so be careful about where you sign in to Google and look for https://accounts.google.com/ in your browser bar. These warnings are not being shown because Googles internal systems have been compromised or because of a particular attack," said Grosse.
Grosse declined to go into details about exactly how the company is able to determine what users were possible victims of cyber-attacks originating from nation-states, stating it would give away too much information to the attackers. However, he stated that the company came to this conclusion based on victims' reports and detailed analysis.
"We believe it is our duty to be proactive in notifying users about attacks or potential attacks so that they can take action to protect their information," he blogged. "And we will continue to update these notifications based on the latest information."
The problem of attribution has always been a significant one when it comes to investigating cyber -crime, as attackers often disguise their location and identity, noted Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.
"You can imagine how anyone who sees the warning from Google of a state-sponsored attack might well get the heebie-jeebies," he blogged. "If a little more light was shed as to why they were warning a particular user, it might be more helpful.
"As Google, points outthere's more you can do than just having a hard-to-crack password," he continued. "Even if hackers who broke into your Gmail account no longer know your password, there are still things they could have done while they had access to your email which will allow them to continue to monitor your communications."
For instance, Grosse said it's "possible for someone to have tampered with your Gmail account to silently forward all messages that you receive to another account. Similarly, it's a good idea to check that no-one has been unexpectedly [authorized] to read and send email from your account."

t@kegate needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 197 designs submitted by 62 freelance designers.
Takegate is a Germany-based internet startup for hosting, rating and selling popular music of all kinds and genres. We offer a platform for starting musicians, where they can compete, promote and publish CDs. We don't have any corporate branding yet and are currently looking for a company logo. If your design is outstanding, we'd like to continue working with you.
Takegate brings the latest in music to an interested audience. Hence our focus on two target groups: performers and listeners.
The name "takegate" merges the takes a musician chooses from to find a final version, and the gate that opens their path towards a broad audience and to success. The logo should be unique and professional looking, and suitable for screen and print. You may play with the word "takegate", there are no rules for capitalization. If it remains idenitfiable when printed in black and white, that's even better. Please don't use these corny music symbols like clefs. Files are required in eps and pdf vector format, svg if possible, and we need a short list of the colours used.
Last, but not least: the logo must be cool, because that's what musicians are.

Brrrr! Above the Tree Line!
by Catherine Ripley
Up, up, and still up! You've been hiking all morning through the dark, shady forest. As you've climbed, the trees have become shorter and shorter. Finally, you're standing in a rocky sunlight. Here and there, twisted trees sprawl over the lichen-covered stone. A chill wind is blowing—brrrr! Cushions of grasses and wildflowers seem to float across a lake of rock. Welcome to the world "above the tree line," where it is too cold and dry and windy for trees to grow!
This high mountain world is very much like the Arctic. To live in both places, animals must first beat the cold. Then there's the WIND—almost always blowing—and the shortage of food, shelter, and even oxygen. Can any animals adapt to survive here? Yes! Very special ones indeed!
- The Rocky Mountain Goat has a double layer of extra-thick fur to protect it in sub-zero storms. The rubbery undersides of its sharp hooves let it grip the cliffs to reach food in almost impossible places and to escape predators.
- The Hoary Marmot escapes the long mountain winters by hibernating. Its body slows wa-a-a-a-y down, and it lives off its fat without ever waking up to nibble a bite of food. Zzzzz!
- After cutting and drying grasses in the summer sun, the Pika stores them in its rock-pile home. When winter comes, the icy whistling winds are no problem for the pika as it munches away beneath the snow.
- The Llama has more red blood cells than other animals. This means it can circulate lots of oxygen through its blood even though there's less oxygen in the air above the tree line.
- The Snow Leopard blends right in against the snow and rock. This makes it all the easier to surprise a mountain sheep or goat and find a meal.
- Teensy Glacier Fleas prefer the ice, thank you very much. Protected by thick black hair, they swarm onto the snow in the spring and feast on the pollen, spores, and other food that has blown up from the forests and meadows below.
- Summer is too short for Alpine Salamanders to hatch, grow up in water, and then crawl out on land as air-breathing adults. So moms spend three years carrying their young—and sometimes longer! Then they give birth to two fully developed salamanders. Their black skin helps them take in all the heat they can, and even on summer nights, they usually go underground to stay warm.
- Unlike most other mountain birds that fly down to the valleys for the winter, the White-Tailed Ptarmigan stays above the tree line year round. It has feathered legs to keep it warm, and the feathers on its toes act like snowshoes. To shelter, it burrows deep into snowdrifts. Here it also finds berries and buds to eat.
Like animals, plants have special ways to survive. Hairy leaves keep some from drying out in the wind. Twining, twisting root systems securely anchor plants so they won't blow away. Many flowers start growing in bulbs underground, to get a jump-start on the very short growing season.
- bulb:
- An underground plant part. New plants grow from bulbs.
- circulate:
- To move in a closed path, such as a circle.
- hibernate:
- To go into a deep sleep.
- lichen:
- A plant made up of a fungus and an algae. Lichens grow on rocks and trees.
- Why might a person have a hard time living high up in the mountains?
- What do most of the animals discussed have to protect them?
- What do you do differently when the seasons change?
Do you wear different clothing?
Does anything change in your home? Write a few sentences for your answer.

Arkansas Downs Louisiana, 76-63
UL guard Elfrid Payton
Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun men's basketball team dropped their first game of the 2013-2014 college basketball season on Friday night, falling to the Arkansas Razorbacks, 76-63, in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Arkansas led at the half, 39-38, and then went on to the 13-point victory.
The game was a lot closer than the final score would indicate, as it was tied eight different times, and featured seven lead changes.
The Razorbacks out-shot the Cajuns from the field, 51%-40%, which proved to be the difference in the game, as rebounds finished even, at 30-30.
Alandise Harris led the way fro Arkansas, scoring a team-high 19 points, while Michael Qualls scored 16, along with eight rebounds and five assists, both team highs.
In a losing cause for Louisiana, Elfrid Payton scored a game-high 27 points, while Shawn Long and Elridge Moore chipped-in with 12, and 10 points, respectively.
With the victory, Arkansas improved to 2-0, while Louisiana fell to 2-1.
The Cajuns travel to Waco, Texas on Sunday, for a non-conference match-up with the Baylor Bears.

NEW DELHI – Protracted shouting by lawyers insisting that suspects in a high-profile gang rape case don't deserve legal representation marked the first court appearance Monday of five defendants and raised concerns among legal and human-rights campaigners that inflamed passions could trump the men's legal rights.
Apparently convinced of the defendants' guilt based on media coverage of the case, members of a bar association representing lawyers in New Delhi's Saket District Court announced last week that none of its members would represent the defendants. On Monday, they expressed their anger in a packed courtroom when lawyer M.L. Sharma and another unnamed attorney offered to defend the accused. Some in the raucous legal crowd condemned the pair as publicity seekers.
Sharma countered that under the Indian constitution everyone is entitled to a defense. "The accused are innocent until proven guilty," Sharma told a local news agency later. "Had the accused been the children of rich and famous, many lawyers would have come to defend them."
In the highly charged case, the five defendants and a sixth who claims to be a juvenile stand accused of picking up in a private bus a 23-year-old physiotherapy student and her 28-year-old male friend on Dec. 16, drawing the curtains and assaulting both riders with iron rods and repeatedly raping her as they rode around New Delhi.

General Comments: Futures closed a little lower in consolidation trading. Many are still saying that big supplies are coming to the market. Chart trends in London and New York are mostly up, but the bulls have not been able to push New York prices above 1900 May, at least not yet. Ample offers seem to appear above that level. Futures seem to uncover new consumptive demand every time the market moves below 1800 in New York. Reports indicate that the Chinese have been using price weakness to buy more Sugar than the trade had anticipated. Brazil will start to offer a little less as mills there prepare for greater domestic Ethanol demand as blends for cars have been changed by the government. Reports from Brazil say that the new crop production looks to be strong, so the diversion into more domestic ethanol use will help offset increased sugarcane production. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong. Exports from other countries are said to be less than expected.
Overnight News: Mostly dry weather expected in Brazil. Temperatures should be near to above normal. Brazil produced 34.09 million tons of Sugar through February, up 8.9% from last year.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to up with objectives of 1900 and 1990 May. Support is at 1850, 1835, and 1815 May, and resistance is at 1900, 1920, and 1940 May. Trends in London are up with objectives of 543.00 and 576.00 May. Support is at 531.00, 529.00, and 527.00 May, and resistance is at 540.00, 541.00, and 544.00 May.
General Comments: Futures were higher again yesterday on reports of tight domestic and world cash markets. Demand is still said to be strong, but some buyers are backing away from the market after the rally in prices. New export demand data will be released tomorrow by USDA. The rally is coming at a time when certified stocks are building as well. The current low new crop prices are bringing into question what farmers in Texas and the Delta and Southeast will plant this year. Some producers in the Delta are noting the recent price rally and might decide to plant more Cotton this year. Some are wondering if planted area might be lower this year here in the US due to weak prices against competing crops. The area lost would go mostly to Corn and Soybeans. The plantings intentions report will be released at the end of the month.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see dry conditions. Temperatures will average mostly below normal early this week and then near to above normal, with warmest readings in the Delta. Texas will get dry weather. Temperatures will average above normal. The USDA spot price is now 83.26 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.426 million bales, from 0.424 million yesterday. ICE said that 0 contracts were delivered yesterday and that total deliveries for the month are 1,542 contracts. USDA said that net Upland Cotton export sales were 187,600 bales this year and40,500 bales next year. Net Pima sales were 44,900 bales this year and 9,800 bales next year.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are up with objectives of 90.80 and 93.90 May. Support is at 88.80, 86.10, and 85.80 May, with resistance of 89.20, 90.00, and 90.70 May.

Description : Paperback"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviours spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with the theory of mimetics will recognise this concept, Gladwell's The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject.
For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanise the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston", he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day–think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.
Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point", like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows–or at least knows by name. —Ron Hogan

SEO for Auto Shops in University Place, WA
If you're having a hard time driving business — no pun intended — to your auto repair shop, consider how effectively you've harnessed the power of internet marketing to work for you. Many shops have a website, which is a good start, but that alone won't attract business as customers search online for repairs and services locally. Why not? In order for customers to actually see your website, it's got to be at the top of the search results. Rarely do viewers venture beyond the first few pages of results, so if you don't know how to get in the upper rankings, you'll be overlooked. Auto Shop Webmasters focuses on delivering web design and quality content for mechanics that will actually help them move up as search engines like Google recognize a strong, trustworthy web presence. To learn more about what SEO for auto shops in University Place, WA takes and how it can benefit your shop, give us a call at 800.377.3068!
Consider This…
University Place, Washington is home to 32,282 individuals. Out of the 28,376 locals who are on the web in University Place, 14,472 (51%) are searching the internet from their smartphones. So what does this mean for your business? It means that having a website that loads quickly and is responsively designed will go a long way in reaching this audience!
Consider, too, that half of mobile searches are for nearby services, and over 60% of those inquiries resolve with a transaction of some sort. This is a big deal for local businesses! In light of this fact, your internet marketing must include mapping for the local area so that these consumers can find you as they search online.
85% (27,440 people in University Place, WA) rely on web searches to locate products and service providers, and it's hard to ignore the impact of social media on the search process given that 14,850 (46%) consumers in University Place, WA consider these platforms as they narrow down their options.
All of these facts point to the importance of having solid social media coverage and effective internet marketing in place! With nearly 28,376 (87.9%) people in University Place, WA searching online, it's vital that your SEM strategy appeals to those potential customers and gets you noticed.
The Role of Content in Internet Marketing
We've all seen websites that look OK, but don't contain any information that is useful. Or worse, some sites just repeat the same content on every page and simply mix up images. These aren't helpful, and ultimately that is what will hurt them when it comes to search rankings. You can't push junk out to the internet and expect to have high rankings.
We focus on delivering strong content that is actually meaningful to customers who are looking for auto repairs and services in your area. This provides a positive viewer experience, which is ultimately what Google is looking to foster as they assess the millions of websites out there for relevance in responding to search queries. So when your web design is well-constructed, organized, and filled with pages of content that are optimized for auto repairs in University Place, you'll see a nice placement in those results. The more we build upon that foundation — with local mapping, social media management, review site integration, Google account management, and more — the better your ratings you be, and the more visibility you'll have to attract customers.
Don't waste another moment! Call us at 800.377.3068 and let our team go to work for you! Auto shop SEO for University Place, WA is a strong investment that you can't afford to miss.
