Is there a reason why it's not just using everywhere (since all the other transaction-management functions take it as using)? We don't provide any documentation for passing a function there or explaining why you'd want to do that, and from the code I can't figure out what that feature's useful for...
comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by russellm
This is an example of internal implementation leaking to the external API. The argument is called 'func_or_using' because @transaction and @transaction('my_alias') are both allowed forms. The first case is required for backwards compatibility, and it's that case where you are providing a function.
Practicality should trump the purity of internal variable naming; we should change the argument to 'using', and document the weirdness internally.

Don't say I'm not a real fan, I have watched every game the last 4 seasons, I was even one who was exited at the playoff hopes a few days ago. Iam just a fan who wants a qb, the higher the draft spot the better.
If we really wanted to lose we can start Carr.

Wild Ophelia Caramelized Bananas Peanut Butter Cups
Early last year at the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, I tried a new line of chocolate cups from the confectioners at Vosges. These sets of mini peanut butter cups are from the Wild Ophelia line of chocolates and come in a few varieties. The first one I picked up at the store, when I finally found them last month at Whole Foods are the Wild Ophelia Caramelized Bananas Peanut Butter Cups.
The packages look like a regular twin set of chocolate cups (though they're actually 2.1 ounces) but inside is actually a try that holds a set of six little cups.
I call them cups, but there's actually no paper fluting on them, just the cups on a tray inside a wrapper.
The cups are made from 41% cacao milk chocolate, which is from fair trade certified beans (the sugar is also fair trade). The bananas are not the typical Cavendish most of us eat, but a varietal grown on Kauai known as Williams. The bananas are actually caramelized with some cream and sugar and sprinkled on top of the cups. The filling is peanut butter, and as far as I can tell, more chocolate.
They're almost savory. The milk chocolate has a good dairy flavor without tasting like powdered milk. The melt is smooth and buttery with a little toffee note. Once I bit into the cups the peanut butter is pretty evident as a scent, but the texture of the peanut butter is barely there, it's quite smooth and mixed in. The banana notes were hard to tease out sometimes, it wasn't a lot of banana and often just a little fresh caramelized and honey note.
Some cups had more banana bits, and some of the banana bits were a little toothsticky.
I liked the cups better than the bar version that I tired a few years ago. Part of is that I like the format of cups, and the ability to have a teensy but full-featured portion. They're expensive, but the package holds more than a Justin's or Theo PB cup, though it's still more per ounce. I liked the inventive combinations and I welcome more products that play with these formats.

Trader Joe's Candy Coated Milk Chocolate Pieces
Trader Joe's had a fair number of new products this year, but this holiday treat caught my eye: Trader Joe's Candy Coated Milk Chocolate Pieces.
I'm a sucker for a nice bottle with a cork top, and even though this was $5.99, I figured it would be good for holding some freshly squeezed orange juice at home. Even with the large price tag, it is important to note that it's a full pound of candy, not the skimpy 12 ounces like many candy bags have now.
The pieces are made in Spain, which is definitely not a country I think of when it comes to chocolate. (They do lovely gummis and nougats.)
The bottle itself looks like it holds more than a pint, less than a quart (but I'll have to measure when it's empty). It's pretty thick glass and has the Trader Joe's logo molded into it ... which makes me wonder if it will show up in the future for other packaged items. (Maybe we'll see this again for Valentines with just white and red lentils with hearts and lips printed on them.)
The pieces, especially for a naturally colored product, are well made and lovely to look at. There are three colors: white, light red and muted green. Each piece also has a little printed icon. The white ones have Ts and Js and the green and red ones have a mixture of snowflakes, bells and stocking caps.
The lentils are a little larger and flatter than an M&M. They're more like Nestle Smarties, though not quite that big.
The shells are very thick. Since they're rather flat, there's a sharper edge to the, which in this case with the bottle, means that they're more easily broken and chipped. (Of course I also carried the bottle around for a full week back and forth to work while I was sampling them for review.)
The crunchy shell is very pleasant and has no flavor of its own, just a mildly sweet crunch. The chocolate centers have a very strong dairy milk flavor, a light hint of malt and honey and then some cocoa notes.
They're inoffensive and pretty, certainly different from M&Ms with the packaging and natural colors. They don't quite warrant the price tag on their own, but I wasn't sorry I picked them up. Flavors might also be fun, especially if they could figure out a way to mix the flavors in the same package.

Dum-Dums Holiday Pops (Limited Edition)
Dum-Dums are pretty basic, kind of small lollipops. They've always come in a wide variety of flavors that have changed based on popularity. Only recently has Spangler, who makes Dum-Dums, come out with holiday themed product packages of the pops.
The Dum-Dums Limited Edition Holiday Pops is a bag of eight different flavors of individually wrapped lollipops. I believe they were available in 2014, but I just picked them up this year.
Green Apple Grinch - there's nothing grinchy about this flavor, it's straight up fake green apple. The pop is bright green, the flavor is rather thin but definitely sour apple flavor and not actual apple.
Apple Cider is one of the amber colored pops. The flavor is similar to the Green Apple, but less bright, more muted and it has a more apple sauce or honey note to it.
Sugar Cookie is an opaque cream color. It's pleasant but bland, as are sugar cookies. The flavor is creamy without a heavy dose of butter flavor. It's a little vanilla, a little marshmallow. Pretty much a good lollipop. If they added a little nutmeg, I'd call it Egg Nog (and I'd be pretty happy).
Sugar Plum is purple and very pretty, like a little gem. I don't actually know what a real sugar plum is but I can tell you that this one is vaguely grape.
Hot Cocoa looks like the Gingerbread or Apple Cider pop, but it's a little more milky or opaque. I was expecting this to be horrible, but it's actually a passable chocolate marshmallow flavor. The cocoa smells a little musty and thin, but the flavor has a creamy vanilla note, like a marshmallow that holds it together.
Gingerbread is one of the beige ones. It's sweet and has a light note of spice that features a little ginger, a little cinnamon. One of the things about gingerbread-the-baked-good that I like is the molasses, and there's no note of that here.
Polar Punch is very blue. It's a tropical punch flavor with a distinct raspberry note to it. There's a long-lingering aftertaste of the berry flavor that isn't necessarily unpleasant, but I also had a blue tongue for a while.
Merry Cherry is red. I haven't had a cherry Dum-Dums for a while, so I can't say if this is any different. It's sweet and don't really have a tangy fruit note to it. It wasn't like a wild cherry Life Saver, it was more like a cough drop. I find cherry to be rather medicinal, and this was especially so. But I know some folks like the flavor.
I love this idea, and I'd like to see it with a few more specialty flavors, like an Egg Nog, maybe something Cranberry, Peppermint Stick, Rum Raisin. If they're making things that are bacon flavor, they can absolutely go way out there with Speculoos and Bailey's Irish Creme.
Each pop is about 25 calories, so they're a petite treat that should fit into most regular diets. They last a little longer than a traditional hard candy because it's on a stick and is a bit more interactive. Dum-Dums are made in the USA in a facility free from major allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat and gluten.

Dove Holiday Mint Cookie Promises
I have a soft spot for Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies. Mostly the soft spot is in my memory, because I don't find the current day item meets my pickier standards. It shouldn't be that hard to make a chocolate cookie with a minted chocolate coating.
So, if I can't get my itch scratched with Thin Mints, perhaps I should turn it on its end and have something chocolate with cookies, instead of cookies with chocolate. Mars' new Target-exclusive Promises for Christmas are just that: Dove Milk Chocolate Holiday Mint Cookie Promises.
The idea is simple, and certainly not original. They're milk chocolate, lightly flavored with peppermint along with some crunched up chocolate cookie pieces.
The milk chocolate is fudgy and sweet, but definitely smoother than many other brands like Hershey's and Nestle that are on the shelves at the moment. The little cookie bits are sandy and crunchy with a bitter note of charcoal and cocoa. Mostly they just sit in the crevices of my molars. The effect is a nice textural change from the smooth melt of the chocolate and a slight note of salt.
The ratio of chocolate to cookie is very good, definitely more chocolate, but they weren't stingy with the cookie bits, they were in every bite. They were a little on the sweet side, which is really the profile of the Dove Milk Chocolate. Still, I'd love it if someone would do these in dark chocolate.
I hope Target brings these back next year and hopefully they'll get wider distribution so everyone can enjoy them. But now I'd like someone to explain why I can't have them all year, like the long gone Hershey's Cookies 'n' Mint bar.

Baidu PC Faster 18.104.22.168929 Download Last Update
Baidu PC Faster
Baidu PC Faster 126.96.36.199929 Download Last Update
Baidu PC Faster provides you with an all-in-one toolbox to make sure your computer is running at its best from various points of view including clutter, system issues, speed obstructions, vulnerabilities that can be easily fixed through WIndows update or other Internet-related problems that may appear. This particular piece of software presents one of the best looking interfaces on the market. Although colorful, it does not surpass the common sense threshold that many other applications simply blast to pieces and manages to organize its features and tools in a very thoughtful way.
The main sections of the program refer to Home, Win Update, Cleaner, SpeedUp, Cloud Scan, ToolBox as well as an APP Store. The first area of the software, which loads upon starting up the application, offers a Quick Care button that runs a few essential tests for cleaning up junk and privacy files as well as registry entries.
Other important sections that are checked during the process are assigned to the LSP Network Connection, Secure Sockets Layer, Group Policy, Task Manager or DNS Server Settings. The Win Update segment notifies of high risk patches or optional and not recommended patches. The Cleaner comprises an One Click Clean operation and other processes involving system junk, browser history, application junk, usage traces or various invalid registry issues.
The SpeedUp section helps you quickly and easily scan for startup items, system services, scheduled tasks, system settings and Internet settings that can be optimized, a very constructive Boot Time Manager and numerous applications, services or tasks that automatically run at startup and add precious seconds to the boot interval time.
CloudScan rapidly scans your computer's system settings, common software, running programs, startup items and all other disk files and also provides two scanning modes: faster or deeper. One more positive thought about Baidu PC Faster is that while scanning, you can actually work with your computer without any hassle, due to the cloud technology.
You also can access the ToolBox and perform Internet speed tests and even repair your Facebook, Internet or LSP connections as well as your Flash Player installation. The App Store comes packing the most popular software and what's even better is that it contains categories for all your favorite software out there.
The bottomline is that Baidu PC Faster is a valuable application and quite a great addition to the software market. In an era full of pointless programs that offer nothing to the end-user and, moreover, feature third-party bloatware, Baidu PC Faster comes as a high dose of fresh air. Its quality stands out from the crowd and that makes it a recommendation for each one of you, no matter the know-how level.

Well I have made all my payments on time since I have had the card. 3 times, they have charged me $29.00 for each late payment. I have never been late and I have paid this card at least 2 weeks early and was always given a confirmation number. After seeing the late fees on my statements, I called and gave them the confirmation number and they say that they can see when I made the payment but I did not have sufficient funds in the bank. WHICH I KNOW IS COMPLETE B/S because the funds were definatly more than enough.
So i canceled this card and then they charge me an extra $3.00 a month on my card for canceling. when I get my balance down a little bit by paying more than my monthly minimum payment I get a phone call saying that I haven't paid this account for 22 days and that I am late.
Get this, I notice on my credit report that they placed my account into collection after 2 weeks of them saying that they have not recieved a payment.
So I called them, very pissed off and asked them whats going on and they said that i have not paid and my acoount it is over the limit. I told them that the customer service rep took off the late fee because I was actually never late and she told me after the account was canceled that the late fee was put back on there and that I was late and needed to pay. I also looked on line and it said that I did have a credit and was not over the limit. She then told me that it must be a technical error!!!! OK YEAH RIGHT, JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR THAT COMPANY TO TAKE MORE OF YOUR MONEY.

i take this with me to go clubbingstays onwrist and does not get stolen
It is a nice little clutch that fits my camera (Canon S95) in the changepurse, holds bills flat. Indended to use this daily but the credit card slots are not big enough to fit a credit card into! You will have to store them vertically, not horizontally. The bag is shiny in a way that I will work for an evening clutch. Disappointed it will not work for my daily needs, but I am keeping it for a special occasion clutch when I don't have to carry my world in the bag. ;)
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Somewhat, it is a little more shiny in person.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Well made and soft to the touch. Nice overall.
- How accurate was the sizing? Accurate.

|Simple, Innovative, Classic, Whimsical
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: This cake was made from two - 8" rounds and one - 6" round. The head is made with two Styrofoam balls (i think they were 6" & 3" balls) - carved to shape then formed with modeling chocolate. Normally I would use rice krispie treats. The cake was stacked up and carved into a domed/egg shape & covered with fondant. The bodice of the dress is modeling chocolate. The tutu was made by sewing & ruffling some tulle. The base board measures 12" x 16" with a 13" long all-thread rod for support & for the styrofoam ball to be attached. With light pink petal dust the whole cake was dusted, darker pink used for inner ears nose.

One, in August, celebrates his death, and one, in June, celebrates his birth. And this is as it should be, for as Christ himself said, John was the greatest of the sons of men. The greatest, but also the most tragic. A prophet from before his birth, leaping in the womb to announce the coming of the incarnate God, his task was to proclaim the fulfilment of all prophecies – and thus his own obsolescence. And he did it: with unequalled courage he spread the news that he, the greatest of all men, was the least in the kingdom of heaven. His disciples, and the devil, would have preferred him to fight, to build his sect, to defeat this upstart whom he himself had baptized, to seize his place in history. But he did not – and so, rightly, he has his place, and he has glory in heaven.We envy the great and the talented, and sometimes we think that they themselves are beyond envy. But when they come across someone with greater gifts, as one day most of them will, they will see for the first time what it means to feel like us. Let us pray that they, like John the Baptist, may pass that test.See the article in the Catholic Encyclopaedia. 2016-08-28T00:00:00Z Tue 30 August http://universalis.com/Europe.Poland/20160830/ Tuesday of week 22 in Ordinary Time Tuesday of week 22 in Ordinary TimeInvitatory Psalm | Office of Readings | Morning Prayer | Evening Prayer | Night Prayer | Mass(St Margaret Clitherow, née Middleton (1556 - 1586)) She was born in York and lived there all her life. At the age of 15 she married a butcher, John Clitherow, and three years later became a Catholic. Imprisoned for her non-attendance at the Protestant church, she taught herself to read, and on her release ran a small school for her own and her neighbours' children. Her husband, although he remained a Protestant himself, allowed her to hide priests in the house. In 1586 the secret hiding places were discovered and Margaret was put on trial. As the law then stood, to be found guilty would have meant destitution for her children, so she refused to plead: thus she could not be tried, and instead was crushed to death with a heavy stone, on 25 March 1586.(St Anne Line, née Heigham (1565? - 1601)) She was born in Dunmow, in Essex. In her teens she became a Catholic and was disinherited by her family, and in 1585 she married another disinherited convert, Roger Line. Her husband was imprisoned for his faith and then sent into exile, leaving her destitute. She taught and embroidered and also kept house for priests. One day a large number of people were seen congregating at her house for Mass. She was arrested, tried, condemned to death, and hanged at Tyburn in London on 27 February 1601.(St Margaret Ward (- 1588)) She was born in Congdon, in Cheshire, and became a servant of a family in London. She was arrested after helping a priest to escape from prison, but even under severe torture she refused to reveal his hiding place or to renounce her faith. She was tried at the Old Bailey and executed on 30 August 1588.(St Anne Line (c.1565-1601)) Anne Heigham was born at Dunmow (Essex) around 1565, and was hanged at Tyburn on 27 February 1601. In her teens, she became a Catholic and was disinherited, and in 1585 married Roger Line, also a disinherited convert, who was subsequently imprisoned then, already a sick man, exiled for his faith, dying in Flanders soon afterwards. Anne was left destitute and herself suffered poor health. She offered her services to the Jesuits and was asked to look after a house of refuge in London. She ran a large safe house for priests, taught children, and made vestments. To strengthen her resolution she took voluntary vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. On 2 February after a large number of people had been seen gathering at her house for Mass, she was arrested. Her trial was on 26 February. Despite the prosecution's failure to prove the charge of harbouring a priest the Lord Chief Justice directed the jury to find her guilty, and condemned her to be hanged the next day.DK (St Margaret Clitherow (c.1553-1586)) Margaret Middleton was born in York around 1553, lived there all her life, and died there on 25 March 1586. At 15, she married a butcher, John Clitherow, and three years later became a Catholic. Her brother-in-law William was a Catholic and after ordination as a priest became a Carthusian; he may well have influenced Margaret's decision to become a Catholic. Imprisoned for her non-attendance at church, she taught herself to read and later ran a small school for her own and her neighbours' children. Her husband remained Protestant, but allowed her to hide priests in their house. It is said that she used to visit the Knavesmire (the Tyburn of the North) to pray for those who had been martyred there. She saw that her children were all educated in the faith through the services of a young man who had been imprisoned for his faith in York Castle. She knew this prison well having been detained there several times for non-attendance at Church of England services. In 1586 the secret hiding places in her home were discovered, and Margaret was put on trial. In order to prevent her children and servants from being questioned she refused to plead, for which the punishment was being laid on sharp stones and then crushed to death. Her body was secretly buried by the authorities but was later discovered by friends, who buried her privately elsewhere; though the place of her burial has not yet been found. Her daughter Anne was imprisoned for four years for refusing to attend a Church of England service, and finally became a nun at Louvain. Her sons Henry and William became priests, and Anne became a nun at St. Ursula's, Louvain.DK (St Margaret Ward (?-1588)) Margaret Ward was born at Congleton (Cheshire), but entered into the service of a family in London. She was arrested after assisting a priest, William Watson, who was himself awaiting execution to escape from prison (after a somewhat bizarre life he was eventually executed for having mounted an attempt to kidnap and usurp King James I) . After many twists and turns she was eventually arrested but though severely tortured refused to reveal Watson's hiding place or to renounce her faith. She was tried at the Old Bailey, and executed on 30 August 1588.DK (Blessed Ghebre Michael (1790 - 1855)) He was born in Ethiopia in 1790. He entered an Orthodox monastery, where he proved to be a gifted student. His name, "Ghebre-Michael" means "servant of Michael".He took an intense interest in the history of monasticism and, concerned at the deterioration of monastic standards in Ethiopia, travelled around the country, visiting monasteries, researching their history and the manuscripts in their libraries, and inspiring a small group of monks in each place with a zeal for reform.Having come to the conclusion that the root cause of the trouble was the monks' poor theological education, he determined to travel to Jerusalem to continue his studies. He had intended to travel alone, but at this time an important coincidence supervened and changed the course of his life.Ethiopia had only one Orthodox bishop, who was appointed by the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria, and in 1840-41 the see was vacant. A delegation was being sent to Alexandria to ask the Patriarch for a new bishop and to visit Jerusalem on the way back, and Ghebre-Michael was invited to join the group. He made one stipulation: that the return journey should include Rome as well as Jerusalem, with the aim of lessening the suspicion of the Catholic Church among the Orthodox. On this journey he first met the Catholic missionary Justin de Jacobis, whose holiness and way of life made a great impression on him.To everyone's dismay, the bishop chosen by the Patriarch was in every way unsuitable. Educated by Protestants, he had his own political agenda. He set himself against Ghebre-Michael's project of reform and theological purification, and his followers tried to poison Ghebre-Michael himself.In September 1843 Ghebre-Michael sought out Justin and asked to be received into the Catholic Church (at that time about three dozen Ethiopians had become Catholics). They discussed the matter for nearly six months, and visited many monasteries together to study their ancient manuscripts. Finally, in February 1844, Ghebre-Michael was received into the Church.In July 1854, together with four other converts, Ghebre-Michael was arrested by the bishop and tortured with the aim of getting him to renounce Catholicism. This torture continued for many months. When a new emperor of Ethopia was crowned in February 1855 he had Ghebre-Michael put in chains and took him with him wherever he went. He was put on trial in the presence of the British Consul in May 1855, and, still refusing to apostasize, was sentenced to be shot. The Consul interceded for him, his life was spared, but he died on 28 August 1855 as a result of the harsh treatment he was receiving. He was buried at the side of the road; the exact site is unknown.He was beatified as a martyr in 1926. See also this Vincentian web page.(Saint Fiacre) He was born in Ireland in the seventh century, and was ordained priest. He lived in a hermitage in Kilkenny, but disciples flocked to him there and he went to France in search of greater solitude. He was kindly received by St Faro, Bishop of Meaux, and given land at Breuil on which to build a hermitage. The town of Saint-Fiacre-en-Brie stands on the site of the hospice he built for travellers. See the article in the Catholic Encyclopaedia.(St Edmund Arrowsmith (1585 - 1628)) He was born at Haydock in Lancashire. His father was a yeoman farmer and his mother was a member of an important Lancashire Catholic family. At the age of 20 he left England and went to the English College at Douai to study for the priesthood. He was ordained in Arras on 9 December 1612 and sent on the English mission a year later He ministered to the Catholics of Lancashire without incident until around 1622, when he was arrested and questioned by the Anglican Bishop of Chester. Edmund was released when King James I of England ordered all arrested priests to be freed. He joined the Jesuits in 1624.In the summer of 1628, he was denounced to the authorities. He was put on trial, and sentenced to death for being a Roman Catholic priest in England. He was hanged, drawn and quartered at Lancaster on 28 August 1628. His final confession was heard by Saint John Southworth, who was imprisoned along with Edmund.

One of the hottest, and most important, stories of the last week has been that broken by Scott Shane in the New York Times, on February 5th, of Army Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis' stunning report on the unmitigated duplicity and disaster that characterizes the American war in Afghanistan. It painted the story of a man, Davis, committed to his country, to his service and to the truth but internally tortured by the futility and waste he saw in Afghanistan, and the deception of the American public and their Congressional representatives by the Pentagon and White House.
And then, late last month, Colonel Davis, 48, began an unusual one-man campaign of military truth-telling. He wrote two reports, one unclassified and the other classified, summarizing his observations on the candor gap with respect to Afghanistan. He briefed four members of Congress and a dozen staff members, spoke with a reporter for The New York Times, sent his reports to the Defense Department's inspector general — and only then informed his chain of command that he had done so.
Concurrent with Shane's NYT article, Davis himself published an essay overview of what he knew and saw in the Armed Forces Journal.
The one thing that was not released with either Shane or Davis' article was the actual Davis report itself, at least the unclassified version thereof. The unclassified Davis report has now been published, in its entire original form, by Michael Hastings in Rolling Stone in The Afghanistan Report the Pentagon Doesn't Want You to Read.
The report is every bit as detailed, factually supported and damning as the articles by Shane and Davis portrayed. It is a must, but disturbing, read. If the American people care about economic waste and efficacy and morality of their foreign military projection, both the Obama Administration and the Pentagon will be browbeat with the picture and moment of sunlight Daniel Davis has provided. Jim White has penned an excellent discussion of the details of the Davis report.
My instant point here, however, is how Davis conducted himself in bringing his sunlight, and blowing the whistle, on wrongful US governmental and military conduct. Davis appears to have attempted to carefully marshal his evidence, separated the classified from the unclassified, released only unclassified reportage himself and to the press, taken the classified reportage to appropriate members of Congress and the DOD Inspector General, and notified his chain of command. Davis insured that, while the classified information and facts were protected from inappropriate and reckless release, they could not be buried by leveraging his unclassified press publication. In short, Daniel Davis is the epitome of a true military whistleblower, both in fact, and Continue reading
I somehow stumbled into an article for The Nation by Rainey Reitman entitled Access Blocked to Bradley Manning's Hearing. To make a long story short, in a Twitter exchange today with Ms. Reitman and Kevin Gosztola of Firedoglake (who has done yeoman's work covering the Manning hearing), I questioned some of the statements and inferences made in Ms. Reitman's report. She challenged me to write on the subject, so here I am.
First, Ms. Reitman glibly offered to let me use her work as "foundation" to work off of. Quite frankly, not only was my point not originally to particularly go further; my point, in fact, was that her foundation was deeply and materially flawed.
Reitman starts off with this statement:
The WikiLeaks saga is centered on issues of government transparency and accountability, but the public is being strategically denied access to the Manning hearing, one of the most important court cases in our lifetime.
While the "WikiLeaks saga" is indeed centered on transparency and accountability for many of us, that simply is not the case in regard to the US Military prosecution of Pvt. Bradley Manning. The second you make that statement about the UCMJ criminal prosecution of Manning, you have stepped off the tracks of reality and credibility in court reportage and analysis. The scope of Manning's Article 32 hearing was/is were the crimes detailed in the charging document committed and is there reason to believe Manning committed them. Additionally, in an Article 32 hearing, distinct from a civilian preliminary hearing, there is limited opportunity for personal mitigating information to be adduced in order to argue for the Investigating Officer to recommend non-judicial punishment as opposed to court martial trial. That is it. There is no concern or consideration of "transparency and accountability", within the ambit suggested by Ms. Reitman, in the least.
Calling the Manning Article 32 hearing "one of the most important court cases in our lifetime" is far beyond hyperbole. First off, it is, for all the breathless hype, a relatively straight forward probable cause determination legally and, to the particular military court jurisdiction it is proceeding under, it is nothing more than that. The burden of proof is light, and the issues narrow and confined to that which is described above. The grand hopes, dreams and principles of the Manning and WikiLeaks acolytes simply do not fit into this equation no matter how much they may want them to. Frankly, it would be a great thing to get those issues aired in this country; but this military UCMJ proceeding is not, and will not be, the forum where that happens.
Moving on, Reitman raises the specter of "the death penalty" for Manning. While the death penalty remains a technical possibility under one of the charges, the prosecution has repeatedly stated it will not be sought and, after all the statements on the record in that regard, there is simply no reason to embellish otherwise. Reitman next states:
This case will show much about the United States's tolerance for whistleblowers who show the country in an unflattering light.
No, it most certainly will not. In fact, the Manning criminal military prosecution has nothing whatsoever to do with "whistleblowers". Despite the loose and wild eyed use of the term "whistleblower" in popular culture, not to mention by supporters of Bradley Manning, the concept Continue reading
While a number of media outlets have reported one line–"The exercise of power in today's challenging times and relentless media environment must be prudent and consistent with our laws and values"–from PJ Crowley's resignation statement, I wanted to remark on a few things in the larger statement.
The unauthorized disclosure of classified information is a serious crime under U.S. law. My recent comments regarding the conditions of the pre-trial detention of Private First Class Bradley Manning were intended to highlight the broader, even strategic impact of discreet actions undertaken by national security agencies every day and their impact on our global standing and leadership. The exercise of power in today's challenging times and relentless media environment must be prudent and consistent with our laws and values.
Given the impact of my remarks, for which I take full responsibility, I have submitted my resignation as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs and Spokesman for the Department of State.
I am enormously grateful to President Obama and Secretary Clinton for the high honor of once again serving the American people. I leave with great admiration and affection for my State colleagues, who promote our national interest both on the front lines and in the quiet corners of the world. It was a privilege to help communicate their many and vital contributions to our national security. And I leave with deep respect for the journalists who report on foreign policy and global developments every day, in many cases under dangerous conditions and subject to serious threats. Their efforts help make governments more responsible, accountable and transparent. [my emphasis]
Note, first of all, the sentence, "Given the impact of my remarks, for which I take full responsibility." That has been interpreted as a reaffirmation of Crowley's statement that DOD's treatment of Manning is "ridiculous, counterproductive, and stupid." But there's actually some ambiguity to the statement: the antecedent of "for which" could be "remarks," as has been interpreted, but it also could be "impact." Given that Crowley has spent years crafting public statements in which any ambiguity would lead to international incident, I suspect the ambiguity, in a written statement issued during a time of heightened attention, is intentional.
If so, this is Crowley making it clear he intended all this to blow up (remember, too, the participants in the MIT session at which Crowley first made his remarks double checked that his statements were on the record before they posted them).
And he tells us that his intent was to raise attention to the impact that certain actions of our national security agencies have on our international standing.
While I hope Crowley has an opportunity to explain precisely which actions he had in mind–aside from Manning's treatment, of course–I wanted to point to a CAP paper Crowley wrote in 2008, linked by Rortybomb. The paper as a whole is a sound strategy for counter-terrorism (I'm particularly fond of Crowley's focus on building resilience at home). As Rortybomb points out, Crowley argues that part of the fight against terrorism must be about remaining on the right side of history.
Most of the world now believes, fairly or not, that America is on the wrong side of history. While the Bush administration acknowledged the vital importance of winning hearts and minds in its revised 2006 counterterrorism strategy, too often since 2001, U.S. policies have neither matched our values, nor what we preach to the rest of the world. We are perceived, accurately or not, as operating secret and illegal prisons, condoning torture, denying legal rights, propping up autocratic regimes, and subverting fair elections.
As a follow up to yesterday afternoon's decision in the WikiLeaks grand jury subpoena case, it is, shall we say, interesting that the New York Times today comes out with and editorial slamming democracies that use secret evidence and maneuvers to prosecute journalists.
The editorial is titled No Way to Run a Democracy and it doesn't spend one word of it on the rabid use of just those tactics in relation to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange (See here and here). Nor has there been any comparable outrage over the US actions against WikiLeaks journalists in any other NYT effort and/or article.
Now, make no mistake, the plight of investigative journalists in Turkey under threat from the administration of Prime Minister Erdogan is extremely troubling, and it is commendable that the Gray Lady has called it out. But it does make you wonder where the same outrage is in relation to the First Amendment eviscerating effort of the US Department of Justice toward WikiLeaks and Assange. An investigation which could, and if it is taken to its logical conclusion, should involve the Times itself.
Maybe it is because Bill Keller reached some agreement with the DOJ not to trash them in return for DOJ laying off the NYT during one of his endless tete a tetes with them over quashing news reporting, maybe Keller and the Times are fearful that they don't have some kind of secret agreement with the DOJ, maybe it is the product of the merging of the media and government in the US, or maybe it is because of Keller's irrational and unprofessional extreme dislike of, and contempt for, the "dirty" Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.
Whatever the reason, the stridence against the Erdogan government actions contrasted with the silence toward the domestic Obama government actions is telling.
In a 21 page opinion, US Magistrate Judge Theresa Buchanan of the Eastern District of Virginia District Court has just granted the United States Department of Justice subpoena demand for records in the WikiLeaks investigation.
Three people associated with WikiLeaks – Jacob Appelbaum, Birgitta Jonsdottir, and Rop Gonggrijp – had petitioned the court to vacate the subpoena and to unseal the court pleadings. The court held:
For the foregoing reasons, petitioners' Motion to Vacate is DENIED. Petitioners' Motion to Unseal is DENIED as to docket 10- gj-3793, and GRANTED as to the 1:11-dm-00003 docket, with the exception of the government attorney's email address in Twitter's Motion for Clarification (Dkt. 24), which shall be redacted. Petitioners' request for public docketing of the material within 10-gj-3793 shall be taken under consideration. An Order shall follow.
The three WikiLeaks individuals had argued the subpoena violated constitutional protections for free speech and association; the court disagreed. Appelbaum, Gonggrijp and Jonsdottir have already stated they will appeal.
You can read the full opinion here. I will be updating the post as I read the decision.
In December of last year, the US government, upon ex parte motion, moved the EDVA Court to enter a sealed Order ("Twitter Order") pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d) of the Stored Communications Act, which governs government access to customer records stored by a service provider. The Twitter Order, which was unsealed on January 5, 2010, at the request of Twitter, required Twitter to turn Continue reading
Wikileaks has posted the presentation three security companies–Palantir, HBGary Federal, and Berico Technologies–made to Bank of America, proposing to help it respond to Wikileaks.
In addition to the degree to which the proposal emphasizes the national security ties and military background of the employees of the company (particularly Berico), the presentation fleshes out what the companies proposed. Under potential proactive tactics, it lists:
Of particularly interest, they describe HBGary Federal's abilities to conduct INFOOPS, including "influence operations" and "social media exploitation."
In other words, in addition to proposing to conduct cyber attacks on Wikileaks' European-based infrastructure (complete with a picture of WL's bomb shelter-housed servers), the proposal appears to recommend that these companies be paid to troll social media, like Twitter, to not only "identify risky behavior of employees" but also, presumably, "push the radical and reckless nature of wikileaks activities." You know–the kind of trolling we often see targeted at Glenn (and in recent days targeted against David House, who was also listed in this presentation).
In addition, the presentation proposes to create a concern over the security of the infrastructure. Interestingly, when additional newspapers in Europe got copies of the State cables (including Aftenposten), some people speculated that the files had come from a hack of Wikileaks servers. (Note how the slide above notes the disgruntled WL volunteers.)
That doesn't mean we're seeing this campaign in process. After all, Glenn has a ton of enemies on Twitter. And if the intent behind leaking additional copies of the cables was to suggest WL's infrastructure had been hacked, that perception has largely dissipated as more and more newspapers get copies.
One final note: according to Tech Herald, the law firm pitching these firms, Hunton and Williams, was itself recommended to BoA by DOJ. As the presentation makes clear, these are significant government contractors. (Remember, we're getting these documents because Anonymous hacked HBGary Federal, which was offering what it had collected to DOJ.) To what extent is what we're seeing just an extension of what our own government is trying to combat Wikileaks?
Back in 2008, David Rose had a fairly explosive article on Condi Rice and Elliot Abrams' incompetent meddling in Gaza, which he compared to Iran-Contra. Here's how I summarized its revelations at the time:
The story explains how the Administration pushed an election for the Palestinians, not seeing what every sane observer saw–that Hamas would win. Immediately after the election, Condi started pressuring Mahmoud Abbas to dissolve Parliament. When he refused, the Administration started backing the Fatah strongman, Mohammad Dahlan, in hopes that he could strengthen Fatah and the Palestinian Authority's security organizations–which had been devastated by Israel during the intifada–sufficiently to overcome Hamas. This set off a civil war between Fatah and Hamas. To end the bloodshed, Saudi's King Abdullah brokered a national unity government, without warning the US he would do so. In response to Abdullah's unity government plan, the State Department developed its own $1.27 billion plan, what Hamas considered "a blueprint for a U.S.-backed Fatah coup." The US handed that plan to Abbas and had him adopt it as if it were his own. Hamas responded by taking over Gaza and capturing the Egyptian weapons intended to strengthen Fatah.
Central to the whole story is how the State Department could have been so stupid as not to see that Hamas would win a democratic election in Gaza in 2006.
Elections for the Palestinian parliament, known officially as the Legislative Council, were originally set for July 2005, but later postponed by Abbas until January 2006.Dahlan says he warned his friends in the Bush administration that Fatah still wasn't ready for elections in January. Decades of self-preservationist rule by Arafat had turned the party into a symbol of corruption and inefficiency—a perception Hamas found it easy to exploit. Splits within Fatah weakened its position further: in many places, a single Hamas candidate ran against several from Fatah.
"Everyone was against the elections," Dahlan says. Everyone except Bush. "Bush decided, 'I need an election. I want elections in the Palestinian Authority.' Everyone is following him in the American administration, and everyone is nagging Abbas, telling him, 'The president wants elections.' Fine. For what purpose?"
The elections went forward as scheduled. On January 25, Hamas won 56 percent of the seats in the Legislative Council.
Few inside the U.S. administration had predicted the result, and there was no contingency plan to deal with it. "I've asked why nobody saw it coming," Condoleezza Rice told reporters. "I don't know anyone who wasn't caught off guard by Hamas's strong showing."
"Everyone blamed everyone else," says an official with the Department of Defense. "We sat there in the Pentagon and said, 'Who the fuck recommended this?'"
But a Wikileaks cable released by Aftenposten may explain why State was taken by surprised.
They may have thought the election itself wouldn't happen.
The government has admitted to MSNBC that the Brig Commander at Quantico improperly put Bradley Manning on suicide watch last week.
The officials told NBC News, however, that a U.S. Marine commander did violate procedure when he placed Manning on "suicide watch" last week.
Military officials said Brig Commander James Averhart did not have the authority to place Manning on suicide watch for two days last week, and that only medical personnel are allowed to make that call.
The official said that after Manning had allegedly failed to follow orders from his Marine guards. Averhart declared Manning a "suicide risk." Manning was then placed on suicide watch, which meant he was confined to his cell, stripped of most of his clothing and deprived of his reading glasses — anything that Manning could use to harm himself. At the urging of U.S. Army lawyers, Averhart lifted the suicide watch.
So Manning allegedly fails to follow an order and the Brig Commander decides he loses his glasses and is stripped of his clothing?
Remember, Manning has not been convicted of anything yet.
The rest of the article describes that the government has been unable to link Manning to Julian Assange. Maybe that's why they took his glasses away.
Update: This certainly puts the events from Quantico yesterday in a different light. According to MSNBC, government lawyers realized last week Manning had been improperly treated. By preventing David House from visiting Manning yesterday, they made sure that he wouldn't have confirmation of that from Manning directly. But since Jane and David's comments said they'd be back next week, DOD realized they'd need to 'fess up themselves.
Mark Hosenball reports that aside from some pockets of short-term damage, the impact of the Wikileaks leak of diplomatic cables has been embarrassing, but not damaging.
Internal U.S. government reviews have determined that a mass leak of diplomatic cables caused only limited damage to U.S. interests abroad, despite the Obama administration's public statements to the contrary.
A congressional official briefed on the reviews said the administration felt compelled to say publicly that the revelations had seriously damaged American interests in order to bolster legal efforts to shut down the WikiLeaks website and bring charges against the leakers.
"I think they just want to present the toughest front they can muster," the official said.
But State Department officials have privately told Congress they expect overall damage to U.S. foreign policy to be containable, said the official, one of two congressional aides familiar with the briefings who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
"We were told (the impact of WikiLeaks revelations) was embarrassing but not damaging," said the official, who attended a briefing given in late 2010 by State Department officials.
National security officials familiar with the damage assessments being conducted by defense and intelligence agencies told Reuters the reviews so far have shown "pockets" of short-term damage, some of it potentially harmful. Long-term damage to U.S. intelligence and defense operations, however, is unlikely to be serious, they said. [my emphasis]
More important than yet another indication that the Obama Administration has oversold the damage done by Wikileaks is the reason given by Hosenball's Congressional source as to why they oversold that damage: to bolster legal efforts to shut down Wikileaks' website.
The Administration lied, says a congressional official, to make it easier to shut down Wikileaks.
Now that's important for several reasons. First, all this time the government has been pretending that the series of decisions by private corporations to stop doing business with Wikileaks were made by the businesses on their own. Surprise surprise (not!), it seems that the government was affirmatively trying to shut down Wikileaks.
Just as importantly, Hosenball's story seems to suggest, the government was going to service providers–the same service providers they routinely go to on terrorist investigations–and lying to get them to do the government's bidding. The government was making claims about the damage of the leak to convince service providers to shut down Wikileaks.
And companies like Amazon, Visa, and PayPal complied.
So, to these companies, now tainted with cooperation in government censorship, was it worth it? Was it worth being branded as a collaborator, knowing you were lied to?
And to Philip Crowley, whom Hosenball quotes talking about "substantial" damage: given your critique of Tunisia's suppression of social media, and given that we now know you lied in the service of similar repression, do you still want to claim there's no disjunct between claiming to support free speech while squelching that of Wikileaks?
Five years ago, BabyDoc Duvalier applied for a passport for Haiti, threatening to return in a period leading up to elections. As a series of Wikileaks cables make clear, the US pressed hard–with apparent success–to prevent his return to Haiti. One cable shows the US asking France, on January 11, 2006, whether it could prevent Duvalier from leaving that country. Another shows the US raising concerns about Duvalier with Haiti Prime Minister Latortue that same day, and again on January 16. And the US raised the same concerns with the Dominican Republic, first (as far as we can tell from the cables) on January 11 and then again on February 7, 2006.
Over the course of those conversations, the US government tried the following methods to keep Duvalier from returning to Haiti and disrupting the elections:
All of which raises the question why, if the US prevented Duvalier from returning in 2006, they were either unable or chose not to prevent his return this time?
Interestingly, the Guardian provides some background of these efforts in 2006. But they focus entirely on one cable recording discussions with Dominican Republic (the rest of the cables were made available by Aftenposten, the Norwegian paper that somehow got its own set of cables). This has the effect of making it appear that US objections were equally to Duvalier and Aristide (both are mentioned in the cable, though it is clear Duvalier is the worry). Yet the rest of the cables make it clear that the US was panicked about Duvalier's return.
So is and was the US as concerned this time around about Duvalier's disruptive influence? Has it simply lost its influence with the various players (who might just be ready for a stronger influence in Haiti, given that country's problems)? Or did the US give tacit approval for Duvalier's return, either explicitly or by not making the same efforts this time around as they made in 2006?

Black Keys bring 'Turn Blue' tour to Bradley Center
The Black Keys' May album, "Turn Blue," wasn't a labor of love. It was just labor.
That's not because the Nashville-based duo of Dan Auerbach (vocals, guitar) and Patrick Carney (drums) felt pressure to prove itself. After the 2010 album "Brothers," with the retro, bluesy garage-rock singles "Tighten Up" and "Howlin' for You," took the duo to some big stages (including headlining the Marcus Amphitheater at Summerfest in 2011), the 2011 follow-up, "El Camino," the band's catchiest effort, propelled the Black Keys to arena-tour status. They're headlining North American arenas again this fall, including a return to the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Tuesday with their Summerfest opener, Cage the Elephant. »Read Full Article

I just saw this pinned on pinterest by another homeschooling mom and wanted to share. kiwicrate.com has a monthly subscription to different themed craft boxes that come with three weeks worth of crafts and additional resources. Some of the themes I found were wind, farmer's market, bugs, robots, under the sea, safari, colors/light, gardening, space, pirates, dinosaurs and super heros. They also have separate holiday boxes and other stuff too. It is 19.95/month with free shipping or $220/year which makes one month free. They also have a sibling add on for $7.95/month if you have more than one child interested. I thought this was a pretty neat idea and wanted to pass it on!!

It is not known how seriously a man was injured overnight after he jumped from the roof of a downtown business.
Around 3:20 Wednesday morning a downtown security guard called police because he saw someone climb onto the roof of the ruby canyon bicycle shop in the 300 block of main street suspecting that they were trying to rob the store.
Dave Stassen with the Grand Junction Police department says when officers arrived on scene they saw the man jump off the roof. Police say they are still investigating and they don't know why he was on the roof and don't know his condition at this time, but say he was alive when he was rushed to the hospital.
