When federal prosecutors investigate a company, corporate executives tend to react instinctively by hunkering down. But a congressional investigation requires the exact opposite behavior, attorney Michael Bopp told an audience on Friday.
Here on the outside and when I was on the [Capitol] Hill, the general mindset is, Lets not engage with Hill investigators, said Bopp, a former chief counsel of the Senate Committee of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and now a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
But Bopp, who led a webinar entitled Congressional Investigations 2013: How to Prepare for the Investigative Agenda in the New Year, said the wiser course is to cooperate in private with committee investigations and hope that the panel will not drag you into a public hearing to ask more questions.
Robert Borden, general counsel of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, agreed with Bopp.
Were not looking for civil or criminal liability, said Borden, an 18-year veteran on the Hill. So its useful to engage us and find out what we want. We are always open to finding an amicable solution that gets us the information we want, without threatening to get subpoenas and hold hearings.
Borden added, I wouldnt discourage someone from even explicitly asking, What can I do other than testify? Well have a response to that.
Bopp and Borden joined F. Joseph Warin, a former assistant U.S. attorney and chair of Gibsons white-collar defense and investigations practice, during the law firms webinar.
Among other tips, the group said its not smart to challenge a committees jurisdiction. All committees have wide jurisdictional authority, and challenges are usually fruitless and irritating to Congress members, they said.
But Bopp, who chairs Gibsons financial services crisis team, said it can still be worthwhile to ask the committees staff to articulate what the legislative purpose is behind the investigation. Later, you can come back and ask how is this document going to help you accomplish that purpose, he said.
Warin noted that most enforcement investigators are reluctant to talk openly about the aim of their investigations, and asked Borden about congressional probers.
Never expect an investigator to tell you everything they know and everything theyre looking for, Borden replied, but added that even so, very often we are open to having that dialogue.
Bopp also suggested that a corporate lawyer should know the landscape and pay attention to letterheads. For example, he said three congressmen set out to delve into health issues related to energy drinks. They sent out a voluminous document request on U.S. Congressnot specific committeeletterhead.
The point is that individual congressmen do not have the same authority as a committee, such as the power of subpoena or deposition of a witness. So the information request was strictly voluntary.
It doesnt mean you should ignore them, Bopp said, but know who you are dealing with and what their authority is.
Different committees have different authority as well. Some require a vote of the committee to serve a subpoena, others dont. Some have staff deposition authority, while others will not.
Bopp noted that almost all committees or subcommittees have investigative units.
And Borden explained that the units coordinate with each other. For example, Borden said he knows the investigators on other committees well, has their phone numbers, and we talk to them on a fairly regular basis.
We always feel that working with another committee gives us that much more leverage, and the same goes with working across the aisle, with the other political party, he added.
But Bopp said a company should not assume there is cooperation or even communication between committees.
Borden agreed. One of the tools you have and can use strategically is when there are multiple committees investigating the same matter, he said. There are opportunities for you to share information that other committees may not know, and that can be to your advantage.
Warin observed that attorney-client privilege comes up in almost every investigation.
Borden said the House does not recognize common law privileges and has not been inclined to formally recognize attorney-client privilege, especially when investigating a government agency.
But if someone in the private sector raises the privilege, we will always take a serious look at it, and well weigh what we need to find out against the potential harm. It would be rare that we insist to a private sector entity that we want to breach attorney-client privilege, Borden added.
Warin asked how the committee decides to hold a hearing as opposed to just take testimony privately.
Theres no black-and-white guidance, Borden answered. We have a hearing when we have a story we want to tell, usually at the end of an investigation. Or when an investigation may need some life breathed into it, we may bring in one high-profile witness to get others to come forward.
He also explained why a committee often requests the chief executive or president of a corporation to appear at a hearing.
Youre looking for a lot of attention, and the higher-ranking person will bring more attention, he said. Plus, we dont like to bring in someone to say, Oh, thats not my department. If you have the CEO, they dont have that excuse.

PAT CAPUTO: A testy game and the Spartans passed the test WITH VIDEO
If there is a wide spread perception Michigan State didn't play well Sunday, it's not true.
That wasn't a 15-seed against a 2-seed. It wasn't a team from a lower rung conference. St. Louis is a ninth seed from a good league, the Atlantic 10, featuring one of basketball's best tacticians as coach, Rick Majerus.
Everything St. Louis did against Michigan State was anticipated. Michigan State hardly trailed in the game. It wasn't in doubt during the last minute.
So the Spartans 65-61 victory won't fall under the category of sizzling. So it wasn't crowd pleasing (the only people who don't root for the upset in the NCAA tournament are the fans of the team that is favored, especially on-site).
So what?
The Spartans advanced to the Sweet 16 for the 10th time in 16 years, and their bracket is very winnable.
A win over Louisville and Rick Pitino this week is not a given, but the Cardinals weren't any more impressive in their victory over New Mexico Saturday or in the opening round against Davidson.
Reaching the Final Four requires avoiding upsets. The Spartans did that Sunday.
They got some good luck. Did Keith Appling call "backboard" on his key 3-point basket that rattled around and fell in? But the game was officiated in a ticky-tacky manner they didn't benefit the Spartans. Continued...
The Spartans have an ace in the hole. He is always there. It's Draymond Green. With all the pressure of being the underdog starting to squeeze the Spartans' collective neck, he a hit huge shot coming out of a timeout. When the ball went inside and St. Louis about ready to score, he made a tremendous defensive play.
Green has been to the Final Four twice. He's never exactly been what you'd refer to as a role player, but this time he commands the team. The reasons why aren't "rah-rah" leadership. He makes plays everywhere. On the boards. Defensively. Nailing shots. Passes. He is a superior player.
Michigan State produced Magic Johnson, who ranks among the top handful of players ever. Mateen Cleaves doesn't, but he was a tremendous leader and a truly great college player.
Green is every bit as important to MSU as those two were. Can he complete the same process and win a national title like they did? That remains to be seen, but Green is certainly capable.
The Sweet 16 matchup between MSU's Tom Izzo and Rick Pitino is intriguing. They are two of the greatest NCAA tournament coaches of all-time. Izzo has a 37-13 record (74 percent) in the tournament, Pitino 40-15 (73 percent).. Izzo has led the Spartans to the Final Four six times, Pitino has taken three different teams (Providence, Kentucky. Louisville) to the Final Four five times overall. In 2009, Michigan State reached the Final Four in Detroit by knocking off Louisville, which was a No.1 seed, in the Elite Eight.
Pitino is known for madcap, all-out pressing defense. It's a style that plays into MSU's hands. The Spartans have too many ballhandlers on the floor to press like that. It's why they have generally matched up well against Pitino's protégé, Billy Donovan and Florida, too.
It's difficult to discern what the Spartans will see this week, though. Louisville rose to No.4 in the nation early this season, lost three of its final four regular season games - and then just blitzed to the Big East Tournament title.
The Cardinals don't shoot the ball particularly well. It's unlikely a player from Louisville will be selected in the upcoming NBA draft. The Cardinals don't present imposing size nor quickness. Kyle Kuric, Russ Smith, Peyton Silva - Louisville is not a team of stars.
What the Cardinals have done lately is play very good defense. They are a lot like defending NCAA champ Connecticut last season, when it won the Big East Tournament unexpectedly and, instead of being worn out by the experience, just kept winning in the NCAA tournament.
A major difference: Uconn had a superior player in Kemba Walker, who willed the Huskies throughout tournament, and Louisville doesn't. Continued...
The Spartans do - Draymond Green. He is why they keep winning.
There is no reason to believe it will be different in the Sweet 16.

Admit it: We all love to tear up. Or cry. Or just outright sob hysterically.
To be honest, it doesn't take much for my eyes to get misty — whether it's a budding romance, a death, an accident, an illness or just a perfect ending, I will cry. So pretty much half of the books on my bookshelves bring me to tears.
But here are the top five novels that bring out the ultimate sap in me:
5. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
This book is heartbreaking. The ending had me crying fully for 30 minutes, and I had to go back to work with my eyes red and puffy. Warning: If you plan on reading this, make sure you finish it when you're alone.
4. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
This has got to be one of my favourite novels in the world. Just being immersed into a Jane Austen or Charlotte Bronte world makes me smile, and this novel had me tearing up by the end from happiness. It's one of the sweetest love stories I've read and always leaves me yearning for a Darcy of my own.
3. The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
To be fair, this is the only Nicholas Sparks novel I've read, but it killed me. My friend gave it to me from his mom's collection, knowing I'd fall in love with it, and that I did. It was a terribly sad novel and was beautifully written. I won't spoil the ending, but let me just say I couldn't help but cry for a long time afterwards. I'm not a big fan of Miley Cyrus, but I didn't mind the movie version of it, either.
2. Night by Elie Wiesel
This book was very difficult to go through. Each chapter brought on a new tragedy and it was hard to believe that this was a true story. But alas, it was. I cried a lot during it which gave me some awkward looks in class, where we were reading it. The Holocaust is one of my favourite subjects to read about, and this book was the best.
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
Hands down, this novel produced the most tears. My eyes were working out hardcore from the first chapter on. And it got progressively worse as the pages continued — from Hedwig and Dobby's deaths to the demises of Snape, Lupin, Tonks, Colin Creevey, and Fred (SOB). Not to mention that after growing up with these characters, the deaths of those I loved made it even harder.
What are your top 5 tear-inducing novels?

After a quick stop at IKEA for their famous Swedish meatballs, we headed to the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Seattle to check in. The hotel was quite nice, but a bit far from the main tourist attractions located downtown. Luckily for us, we don't mind a little bit of walking.
Naturally, our first stop downtown was to Pikes Place Fish Market. Sadly, this area was a bit of a disappointment. The actual market building was packed with tourists and I was forced to tackle old women and children alike just to get around. Though it did have a lot of nice gourmet food shops, it was a bit too touristy for me.
Between Pikes, and the San Francisco Ferry Building, I think I prefer the Ferry Building. After the market, we took a pleasant walk around downtown and had a requisite Starbucks.
The next day we were off to Vancouver Canada with tickets for the symphony and plans to visit Lynn Canyon Park. We left at 8am on Thanksgiving morning, and drove through wet roads for 3 hours until we reached Vancouver. Being without a map, we instantly got lost and were forced to spend an extra hour attempting to locate a map. Once we did (for 12 Canadian Dollars!) we headed up to the Lynn Canyon Park.
The park was a nice departure from the big city and I thoroughly enjoyed being surrounded by forest as I currently live in Las Vegas, and we barely have grass here. The highlight of the park is a wooden bridge that crosses Lynn Canyon, with a raging river below. Also located in the park is Rice Lake, but we didn't have time to visit due to our plans to see the symphony.
The symphony was held at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Vancouver. We arrived at the symphony a bit late, but I was able to see Swan Lake, so I was still happy. My only complaint would have to be the overzealous triangle player who made it his duty to be heard above every other instrument in the orchestra.
After the symphony, we ran through a dirty, dingy downtown Vancouver to try to get to our sweet Hyundai Accent before our parking expired. We made it in time and began the long drive back to Seattle as evening fell on Vancouver.
Before leaving Canada, we stopped off at the Duty Free shop to pick up a Canada magnet, some snacks and smoked salmon. We ended up getting back at 8pm.
After the brewery, we walked over to Pioneer Square, another tourist-y district in downtown Seattle. Pioneer Square boasts a lot of older building and examples of what the city used to look like in the 19th century. Craving some seafood, we happened upon an Asian tapas restaurant called Tig, and it turned out to be a great find. The lunch specials were great and really cheap. Satisfied and full of alcohol, we hit a third restaurant called the Taphouse Grill. There we had more alcohol and and some cheesecake. We then headed back to the hotel, then stopped off at the grocery store for some snacks and called it a day.
The next day (our last day) was frigidly cold. We started out by visiting the locks, where visitors are able to see salmon and other fish in the wild. Unfortunately, the salmon weren't in season and we saw nothing. We then started out on the search for the Northwestern, a crabbing boat featured on the show World's Deadliest Catch.
The night before, we had read on message boards that the Northwestern docks in Seattle during the off season and it had been seen at both the south end of 24th ave and Fisherman's terminal.
We started on a mad search of both places, and got lost numerous times along the way. It proved to be a fun ride through Seattle. We didn't find the Northwestern,, but we did find other ships featured on the show – The Sea Star and The North American.
We passed through Queen Anne Hill on our way to the SeaTac airport, and it had some of the best views of Seattle, along with some of the prettiest houses in the city. It was a nice break from the the city and put a nice cap to our trip.
Overall, I had a great time in Seattle and Vancouver. Seattle, to me, was surprisingly similar to San Francisco in feel. It offers a lot of cultural interests, great food and great parks.

2013 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVDR Senior League |
Average Customer Review
Outstanding bat, we've got the 30/21 for an 11 year old. Was worried that it may be to heavy for him. Man was I wrong, he hit three home runs in two games last night. Followed by one all the way to the center field fence. Funny thing is when he came to the dug out he looked at me and said, Coach I didnt even try to hit hard.
During the games I had him lay down a bunt. Not real impressed with it due to the amount of pop the bat has. My son soft bunted down third base side and ball went almost all the way to third.
son hit a 250 foot bomb over the fence with this bat, great graphics, feels solid, great pop
it feels a little heavy at first (endloaded) I would practice w it a few days or so before using in a game situation--- it definetely has a different weight distribution than the other popular models

Got a question about the 2013 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVDR Senior League ? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A Question OREven though it has an alloy barrel, does it still have pop?
Bats with composite barrels have not been proven to outperform bats with alloy barrels. The 2013 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVDR Senior League bat features the newest BPF 1.15 stamp and its weight distribution makes it a great option for a power hitter.
How does the 2013 Voodoo differ from the 2012 Voodoo? Are they both end weighted?
The 2013 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVDR Senior League will be designed like the 2012 model. They will be two-piece, composite handle, alloy barrel designs. They will both have barrel heavy, end loaded swing weights. The 2013 will just have newer bat materials.
I was listening to the sounds of the 2013 and 2014 Voodoo bats. They seem to sound very different, even though the barrels are made out of the same material. Is this correct?
The 2013 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVDR Senior League bat and 2014 DeMarini Voodoo: DXVDR Senior League bats are made with the same X10 alloy on their barrels. The walls of the 2014 Voodoo are thinner which will change the sound and performance of the bat.
In 1992, DeMarini Sports had something to celebrate. The three-year-old company had climbed a rung on the proverbial ladder of success, moving its world headquarters from a dirt-floored barn to a slightly larger metal shack. "It was a big move for us," recalled Ray DeMarini from the batting cage of DeMarini Sport's present-day Bat Industrial Complex. "The new shop was larger, more storm resistant, and -best of all- it had a heater." In the early days, DeMarini Sports hardly made a blip on the radar screen of softball.

Alexandra ("Ali") & Kristen O'Neill are the sassy sisters behind the label Porter Grey. The two are brains, beauty, and fashion! Ali (left) attended NYU and Kristen (right) went to Harvard. This is their 2nd year showing at NYFW.
The hip O'Neill sisters grew up in Denver…so while their collection is fun and girly with a touch of East Village, it's very Colorado grounded….literally! All the models had flat oxfords on. My favorite dress was actually the one Kristen was wearing…cool open back.
Of all my years covering Fashion Week…I have never ever met a designer as chill, humble, and relaxed as Richard Chai. When all that hard work boils down to a 10 minute runway show, designers are usually on edge backstage…to say the least. But not Richard. Much like his clothes…Richard is no frills, just finesse. Having sketched for Lanvin…designed for Donna Karan…only to become the creative director for Marc Jacobs, Richard is trained and equipped to do it all. He won the CFDA award last year for his men's line. Today was the first time he showcased both the men's and women's lines in one runway show. Yes, this meant male models for me to gawk at:) Known for his understated, architectural style…Richard is spicing it up for Spring 2012…more colors and prints.
In the midst of the fashion frenzy: steamers puffing at your face, hairspray hurricane, makeup mayhem…
I couldn't help notice a beaming face: a woman with flawless skin just radiating health. It was Tata Harper, the organic skincare guru who's been all the buzz lately. The Columbian beauty says all of her products are made at her farm in Vermont. I actually use the Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask and love it because it gently tightens my pores. Tata was in charge of keeping the models' skin glowing…which is no easy feat when they are piling on and scraping off makeup…show after show. Alright, kids…it's Day 1 of New York Fashion Week. More adventures to follow!

John O'Sullivan: Earth Mother Moonshine Condemns Rio 'Sustainability' Summit
Monday, June 25th 2012, 6:49 PM EDT
(Site Admin)
The Earth Mother Wants Your Dollars
The Rio Earth Summit (June 2012) will go down in history as the moment the global elite tossed global warming into the trashcan of political irrelevance and went all out for sustainability. Selling species destruction as the "greatest threat" to planet Earth becomes the UN's last desperate pitch for population control and global governance under UN Agenda 21.
Last week Rio+20 conference organizers candidly conceded that sustainable development and biodiversity might now be an "easier sell" than their junk gambit on climate change. As such, the UN and it's NGO accomplices, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, etc. signal a wholesale change in their Big Green marketing strategy. Nonetheless, stark evidence was on show of Mother Earth religionists still hell bent on using scare tactics and alarm – rather than hard science – to persuade us all to give up our dreams of a better life by exploiting industrial and technological advances.
Global Feudalism is what Mother Earth Asks of Us
Frankly, any and all industrial growth is anathema to those who worship at the UN altar to the earth goddess, Gaia. Our planet's richest left-leaning billionaires are very much at the fore of this crazy crusade. Global feudalism, where the serfs are lorded over by a tiny elite, became the key UN goal under play maker, Maurice Strong and advanced with vigor after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. Ever since, the UN's skewed brand of environmentalism has been a productive recruiting sergeant to advance a one-world agenda. So pervasive has the threat from Agenda 21 become that in 2011 even Democrats in America, alongside Republicans and libertarians rose to fight this new menace.
Article continues below this advert:
Better known irreverently as "watermelons" (green on the outside, very red inside) the mindset of such environmentalist zealotry may be better appreciated by simply viewing this CFACT video that reveals "Mother Earth" worship as an entrenched belief at the UN Summit. Spiritualism rather than materialism – belief over evidence – is what these delegates preach. In particular, listen to the panelist (2:30 onwards) as she signifies this clear shift of emphasis from "man-made global warming" to "biodiversity." This is but a parallel path to steer us towards the very same radical green goals: global governance and population control.
Up until now a semblance of a scientific veneer was given to the proceedings by the fledgling research discipline of climatology, conscripted wholesale to become well-paid bedfellows of the UN's shamans and mystics. It worked until the worst offenders succeeded in alienating honest scientists from this charlatanism. Global warming "science" peddled by the likes of Michael Mann and James Hansen became such an embarrassment that Rio was made over to be all about "sustainability" instead.
Nonetheless, Rio+20 conference speakers prove 'Agenda 21' – the UN's mission statement for global governance – is alive and well despite being dressed in new green clothes. Instead of global warming, species extinction is the new scare story to get us -all kneeling at the altar of Mother Earth ersatz-speak for One World UN-elected government
Species Extinction is an Evolutionary Process
Mother Earth fanatics remain as woefully weak on scientific insight as ever, deluded in their belief that our planet's climate and environment are inherently stable and would remain so absent any human "interference." But confounding that dogma is thousands of scientists (outside of climatology) that collectively understand, from their own science training, just how life on this planet is constantly evolving as part of a never-ending chaotic flux. Such scientists are apparently less afraid of Malthusian prophecy and unimpressed by 'Limits to Growth' – the bible of the self-serving rich elite.
Humanity (and our evolutionary rise) is intrinsic to Life, not an adjunct to it and science has no place for Mother Earth mysticism. If the UN must adhere to this unscientific creed then scientists will further be alienated from the debate as the subjective whims of the shamans and high priests of environmentalism altogether replace logic and reason.
We should understand that the most wondrous creation so far found in the universe is the human mind; the quintessence of which is science and reason. This is what has allowed us to fulfil our non-random potential and escape extinction. Of course, we know that other species might randomly and accidentally escape extinction for long periods, but none will escape extinction when our sun expires, and 99.999% of species on Earth today will not it make it that far – not least homo sapiens.
Human Advancement Embodies Evolutionary Progression
Only a species with an evolved conscious has the potential to escape extinction and aspire to represent an immortal species. Our universe compels us in time to follow the process of evolution where the creative conscious and reflective human mind is the current epitome of the apex of life. We see homo sapiens have been invested with something exceptional by nature. We have been divested of fur, of claws, of stamina, of strength, of fangs, etc., and no combination of those things is as powerful as the conscious mind evolved – and still evolving – over millennia. Our minds help us foresee and circumvent danger. Our skepticism is a concomitant constant in our search for truth. One such danger we have faced and are overcoming is the lie of dystopian green collectivism as embodied in Agenda 21.
These lies were spawned in earnest since the mid 1970's when an un-elected Maurice Strong was made Secretary General of the Earth Summit, and the UN cloaked its anti-freedom, anti-intellectual 'Agenda 21' in the green religious garb trimmed with a scientific veneer. Emeritus Professor John D. Trudel, in his post Chains of Law is one of many analysts who forewarned of how Strong's Agenda 21 was going to be radically mobilized by a compliant band of "useful idiots" who unquestioningly worshipped at Strong's now sullied altar of "Mother Earth."
The UN congregation at each of these climate conferences gleefully embraces climate change alarmism to mount a direct-frontal attack on the human mind, and therefore on human existence itself.
UN Crimes Unpunished
But high priest Strong,who also orchestrated the 1992 Rio conference and is godfather of the environmental movement was implicated in the theft of $1 million from the UN's 'Oil-for-Food-Program.' Strong fled to China to evade prosecution. His partner in crime, George Soros then came to the fore. Ever since, the Strong-Soros plan to condemn us all to feudalism under Agenda 21 has been vigorously opposed by those of us determined to research and resist. Retaining our instinct for freedom and desire to shape the universe around us to augment our probability of survival, we fought the Strong-Soros plan to steal our only evolutionary advantage; a conscious and fully engaged mind with the ability to shape our environment to augment our survival. This is the only evident evolutionary purpose in having a mind and any other species would do the same, if it could.
Other freethinking from the wider world of science, engineering, mathematics, etc. are now increasingly coming together in such bodies as Principia Scientific International. They do so to find union to better advance the Renaissance concept of the human mind as the vessel to steer ourselves to a better existence exploiting the full powers given to us by nature. The mind is the only thing that matters in this universe because the universe will forget every single other species without mind as they fall to inevitable extinction. Extinction is the norm and an inescapable end for everything – except possibly for a more evolved humanity.
Skepticism Advances as Green Dogma Falters
With so much of what comes out of the UN tainted with the stench of corruption what does the (skeptical) mind do? It reacts and adapts. As if it were a species in it's own right the skeptical mind engages in a form of biomigration of atoms (individuals) and first defends itself then battles against the cancerous climate creed as if it was an unwelcome new organism. As the fraud and fakery in climate science has been exposed we see a modification of the debate just as nature transforms inert lithospheric components into biospheric resources.
This is what every living thing does and "balance" will be restored in our time just as species survive in a geologic epoch. But for the corrupt UN there is no balance, because they- like other maladaptive species – are found out. Thus they face going extinct, and just as the lithospheric and biospheric systems, must adapt or die. The skeptical human mind wields this power as a willful and conscious and purposeful act, for augmenting the probability of its survival, in real time, and quickly.
Thus we define the green religion of the UN as a species on the cusp of extinction. Any species that was a "greenie" in the past is extinct, and is guaranteed to go extinct. No living thing can survive without modifying the environment around it; this always permanently changes the system, and there has never been any equilibrium because the system has always been changing and species have always been going extinct.
Greens Embody Limits to Growth
The UN and their NGO green partners aren't attacking humans with bullets, knives, or wars (well, perhaps some are). But they are attacking humans at a much more fundamental and lethal level: they are attacking the most important characteristic we have evolved: our ability to consciously, actively and radically modify our environment to augment our survival.
We have manifested our augmentations in material form wielding tools to shape bridges, canals, vehicles, airplanes, high-productivity/high density agriculture and animal husbandry, roadways, ships, etc; all these are augmented in the healthy mind by art, philosophy, science, engineering, education, etc.
What scientists and engineers outside of the Big Green movement condemn is what "green power" represents. Going to wind/solar represents a direct assault in the power of the human mind, in the ability of the mind and the human species to live beyond the limitations set by the inert lithosphere. It is a decrease in the energy flux density controlled by the species, and 7 billion of us could NOT survive with this type of power. It is as simple as that: wind and solar cannot support 7 billion people and it cannot support high technology. It is very simply and very directly, genocidal. It's a fantastic farce, a total trick: using modern technology to go backwards. And then once you go backwards, once you lose the high energy flux density technology and lose the population, then you go backwards even more, because there will be nothing to support and repair the wind and solar technology.
Our Minds Make Energy Nature's Endless Bounty
Wind and solar technology can only be produced from nuclear and "fossil-fuel" power. It is an evolutionary dead end, just what the greenies want for humanity as a whole. They hate the mind, they hate evolution, they hate what evolution produces, they hate all living matter in fact because all living matter radically modifies the environment, even the lowliest bacterium. They hate their own existence. They are a pestilence unto themselves, and they hate themselves for it.
High-density-energy production is one of the most fundamental manifestations of the mind that augments its probability for survival, its power of survival, and its well-being. There is no more obvious direct attack on the human mind, on evolution and the teleology of the universe itself, than the greenie push towards low-density-energy production and usage. The greenies want us to live at the biological standard of the lithosphere, which is no standard at all!: the wind, the random wind, and the random sunshine getting through the clouds.
The only thing the mind is good for is for allowing its host to live beyond such limitations of the lithosphere and the biosphere: to live in the noosphere. The noosphere ultimately does the exact same things as the lithosphere and biosphere – the biogenic migration of atoms, and the modification of the environment – it just does it a lot more efficiently, and with intent…the willful intent to survive. And this is what the greenies are attacking. They are a worse threat to human kind than an asteroid.
The green movement that now drives the UN is trying to delete the human mind. It serves a Malthusian Mother Earth that is negative and finite and blind to human ingenuity and optimism. As such the Earth Mother concept is anti-intellectual, anti-progress. It offers us 'Agenda 21' as a creed built on stagnation and decline which is the ultimate evil; a contradiction to the very basis of existence itself. They want and desire zero progress, and zero is exactly where they will end up. But the history of evolution tells us no species can fight existence on such a fundamental level and win – the fundamental teleology of the dynamic and ever-changing universe will wipe you out without having even noticed.

Hi Avs Members
Welcome to my HT. I've been very passionate about HT for awhile know and it all began when I got married.
Ive always enjoyed movies since I was young but experienced my HT when I begged my wife for a HTIB. I promised her that I won't buy anything that had to do with Home Theatre again if she allowed me to buy it ( my wife still kicking herself saying why did I let him buy it )
It was RCA pro logic unit and I thought it was the best thing in the world, 14 years later and my addiction got the better of me.
My HT room had been originally treated by a HAA representative ( has gone through some changes ) and the room treatment they chose was by Fonics. Do room treatment make a difference? Yes it does!! a night and day difference.
My equipment is separated from my room.
I have 7 BD players and I use them all.
The story of 7 blu ray players.
When I moved to blu ray from HD DVD I used to own 4 ps3 two region A and two Region B. Once the players became readily available my first BD player was a panasonic dB BD 30 region A. Good player too. Denon then announced there first Transport player. I sold my 4 ps 3 BD players and had to get the transport. I love there design and the idea of them being a Transport. When the region B was available I had to get it too. The 2310 btci came about when I was looking through eBay and they were selling it for a steal. Why not I thought at that price how can I go wrong. I then bought an Oppo bd 80 multi region because I run CIH and it had subtitle shift. I also bought a Sony bdp 550 region B because I noticed there were some movies that didn't play well in all players so I needed another one for back up. But I found the sony did a great job.
I decided to sell the panasonic bd 30 and Sony bdp 550 and buy the Oppo bdp 93 and bdp 93 multi region( which I use as region B ). Waboman told me about the Oppo bdp 93 and the Sony bdp s5000es so I have to thank him for that. I was looking through audiogon one day and noticed they had a few Sony bdp s5000es left ( brand new ) so I decided to go for it. That player retailed for $2599Au and for $500Au delivered how can I pass that up.
I bought a server rack for my players so I had an empty shelve and I orderd the Phillips bdp 3000 available only in region B which I will use also. The good thing is the Dvdo Duo can accept up to 8 hdmi inputs.

Samsung monitor to let me know what my AVP is doing.
Room Calibrated by certified HAA representative. I added Audyssey Eq Pro for the EQ and does an awesome job.
Well thats it. Who knows where it will go in the next 10 years but I hope I can still enjoy it.
This was my old theatre. I didnt mind it but what annoyed me the most was the height of the screen, if there was a problem changing a cable or locating the problem it was an effort ( literally had to rip everything out and lay down inside the cabinet which was very uncomfortable and it took me at least 2 hours + minimum ) and upgrading it . I had to then rerun audyssey everytime and I got sick of it. When I built my home in 2000 I had a room behind me which was used for storage but the wife gave approval a few years back to put my gear in a server unit and I never looked back since then.

The Office of Vocational Training and Employment Promotion (OFPPT) of Morocco, a public training institution offering educational training in 35 fields of study has chosen Microsoft Office 365 for its education and vocational training solutions. The OFPPT will also work with Microsoft to create 100 new Microsoft IT Academies across the country to continue with its mission to offer vocational training.
"The approach we've taken with Microsoft is a model of public and private partnership for advanced professional training in the ICT sector. The use of new technologies will actively contribute to human development, as well as support the growth of the national economy and ongoing infrastructure projects through effective, efficient and proven Microsoft solutions," said Larbi Bencheikh, general director of the OFPPT.
Additional to this agreement, it is expected that Microsoft will lead more than 60,000 Microsoft Office Specialist and Microsoft Certified Professional certifications over the next three years via the OFPPT.
One huge potential benefit of cloud computing is the ability to encourage education via the use of on-demand services that are less costly and perhaps more accessible than on-premise and other types of solutions. This movet will drive customers towards the new SaaS model, but will also drive and encourage the use of Microsoft's existing set of front office applications.

WILLIAMSON — In a recent town hall forum held by the STOP Coalition, one of the issues discussed was the announcement that Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has refused to tap into the state's rainy day fund for money to fight the state's drug problem.
The town hall meeting brought together members of the community with STOP, an anti-drug coalition based in Gilbert.
Among those attending the meeting was Mingo County Commissioner Greg "Hootie" Smith. Smith said the county has to spend a large amount of its budget on costs related to drugs.
"We operate the county on a budget of about $7 million a year," Smith said. "Between one and two million of that goes toward jail costs. And I would estimate that 90 to 95 percent of those inmates are there due to drugs, one way or another."
The Governor appointed the Advisory Council on Substance Abuse in 2011, made up of members of the medical community, public agencies, community leaders and others, who released their report in January.
The report had nine recommendations, including two aimed at building treatment centers for some 150,000 addicts. The experts said raising cigarette taxes could create revenue for prevention or recovery programs.
The council also recommended: giving local police more power to enforce alcohol control laws; reducing the flow of paper money to welfare recipients through debit cards; finding alternatives to driver's license revocation for people who don't pay fines so they can remain employed; and measuring the outcomes of state-funded drug treatment programs.
Spokeswoman Amy Shuler Goodwin says the governor has already put $7.5 million into substance abuse treatment programs.
STOP Assistant Director Joshua Murphy said the Governor has made strides, but with eight percent of the state's population with a substance abuse problem, help is needed immediately.
"Gov. Tomblin has done an excellent job," Murphy said. "With the bill he passed last year, but at the same time, one in twelve people in the state, we need help now."
"It is time for our state legislatures to act," Commissioner Smith said. "We have closed schools right here in the county we could use for rehab facilities. The best way to address the problem is rehabilitation. I am heartbroken that Tomblin won't use any of our rainy day fund on these facilities."
"This is a rainy day fund," Josh Murphy said. "Well, look out the window. Its raining now."
