The Bamboozling of America At The Highest Level
January 25, 2012 4 Comments
You're about to read what to many unaware and uninformed Americans will sound like fantastic claims, -like crazy conspiracy theorizing, but sometimes "crazy" conspiracy becomes "factual" conspiracy when the truth becomes known. Recall the office of President Nixon being involved with covering-up a crude break-in of the Democrat Party office in the Watergate Hotel? And perhaps the President himself involved? That's just crazy talk! But in the real world, often the truth is stranger than fiction.
Let's begin. One of the greatest, if not the greatest travesties ever committed against the American electorate occurred in the presidential election of 2008 in regard to the candidacy of Senator Barack Obama. It involved all five areas of the national election arena, beginning with the Press, -the media. It's job is to ferret out the truth about candidates for elective office and share it with the American public. We all realize what a great job they did in regard to one John Edwards and his mistress. No one would touch it with a ten-foot pole except the National Enquirer.
Similarly, they stayed ten miles away from the issue of Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to the office of the President. Instead of vetting him they praised and adored him. Not a peep was heard from any corner of the land on that vital issue, and that included conservative and independent media types alike. He got a free pass because he was very inspiring, charming and charismatic, as well as being the first party candidate of color in our history. So his candidacy was attended by only silence on the issue of whether or not he was even qualified to run to the office.
There are guardians in all 50 states whose job it is to guard against ineligible candidates being placed on their state's ballot. They constitute the second area in which the travesty took place. Every single one of the officers, Attorneys General, or commissions that approved the placement of Senator Obama's name on their ballots was either bamboozled by the DNC or were complicit in the conspiracy because they all went along with it.
The third area is that of the Democrat Party leadership which conspired to alter the traditional constitutional wording of their presidential candidate certification document. They secretly removed the language stating that their candidate was constitutionally qualified for the office of President, and instead substituted language stating only that he was legitimately certified as the official candidate of their party. There was only one reason to do that, and that reason was because they knew that by making that omitted statement they would have been making themselves liable for charges of various sorts, including probably some form of perjury for making a false legal certification.
The fourth area that assisted in the conspiracy was the United States Senate. It had several members running for the presidency and two of them had odd backgrounds. It authorized a legal investigation, but the results it produced contained both the truth and a huge lie. The truth was in regard to John McCain and the lie was in regard to one such as Barack Obama, both having quite different birth circumstances. So the Senate knew the actual truth but remained silent.
The final area in which the conspiracy was allowed to transpire was that of the Supreme Court. They all always knew the truth about Senator Obama's constitutional ineligibility to run for the presidency but the buck stopped at no one's desk so they all were silent en mass during the election period. No one had the spine to speak out and warn all of the known violation of the Constitution that was a very possible outcome. Then after it had happened, they continued to remain silent and even complicit by swearing into office a candidate that was not eligible for that office. The five areas of American society meant to serve as watchdogs to defend the Constitution all failed to do their job, even though many of them had taken an oath to do so.
Like what happened at Chernobyl when the reactor managers illicitly allowed 5 or 6 processes/tests to take place which caused it to explode and its nuclear core to totally melt down, -when avoiding any one of them would have prevented the disaster, so the American political process saw five areas of society lead in unison to a melt-down (when any one alone could have prevented it) and thus the process meant to elect a legitimate President, instead elected an illegitimate one.
The conspiracy involved three significant falsehoods. Two are related but the third is completely apart from the other two. The two related ones were connected to the proof of Senator Obama's place of birth. The third was related to the United States Constitution and its restrictions on who is allowed to be the President of the United States. Efforts were made to falsify facts, manipulate fallacious ideas, promote untruths, and distort the significance of facts in evidence. Let's examine the constitutional issue first.
U.S. Constitution: Article Two, Section One, Clause Five reads: "No person except a natural born Citizen…shall be eligible to the Office of the President,.." If we ignore the issue of where Senator Obama was actually born, then we can presumptuously agree that he could be described as "a born citizen", but the question remains as to whether or not he is a natural citizen. The meaning of the term "natural born Citizen" is not provided anywhere in the Constitution. That means one of two things, -possibly both, but not likely.
There is no definition for only one reason, -because the author's, -the founding fathers and framers of the Constitution all knew perfectly well what it meant and assumed that everyone else did also. If so then there are still two possibilities. It either had a set, clear legal meaning, or it had a set, clear non-legal meaning. Or possibly the two were the same. But it can reasonably be assumed that there was never a need for a distinct legal definition to develop in America because there was as yet no such thing as the presidency to apply it to. Under British and colonial law natural born subjects had no more rights than naturalized subjects, although appointments to certain critical offices which held authority, assets, or information which a traitor could exploit to great harm, were reserved to natural born subjects, but such an appointment was not "a right" anymore than being President is.
So if the meaning of "natural" isn't found in American/Colonial legal history then it is found in common English, common sense, and "Natural Law". The Constitution was not written to be read only by legal scholars but by the common man whose acceptance was important in order to pass it and maintain national unity. Therefore it can't be argued that the meaning of the word "natural" is found only in esoteric, complex legislative and judicial documents, but is found instead in common language. No one needs to tell you what natural means, anymore than you need a lawyer or legal historian to tell you what "unnatural" means. Remember, the Constitution was written almost entirely in plain English, not legalese.
So the constitutional legitimacy of Senator Obama's candidacy was dependent on the meaning of that one word "natural" -what it means as well as what it doesn't mean. A "natural citizen" is also a "born citizen" but not all born citizens are natural citizens because they were born to immigrants, -foreigners, and not to Americans.
America has always had a conflict regarding citizenship from before the founding of the nation. Some colonies ascribed citizenship to all born within their borders, even if they were born to foreigners. The logic was that those children were going to live in and grow-up in America as Americans and therefore should be citizens just like those who came before them.
Other colonies required foreigners to become naturalized citizens first and only then would their children be automatically granted citizenship in that sovereign colony. Which method became the law of the land after the Constitution was ratified? The later.
That changed forever in 1898 due to a Supreme Court ruling (Wong Kim Ark) in which the State Dept. had declared a native-born son of Chinese immigrants to not be an American citizen. The prevailing court opinion adhered to the citizenship statement of the 14th Amendment (1868) and reversed the government's position.
But one must not confuse being a natural citizen with being merely a born citizen. The distinction is best illustrated by two comparisons. If George Washington was visiting Canada with his wife in 1787 and she brought forth a son while there, what would be the nature of his national status? Would he be an alien? (-born outside the United States of America) Would he be a born subject of England? Or would he be a natural born American? There was no Constitution or 14th Amendment yet. But that would have no bearing on the status of their natural born child because he would not have been adopted as a foreign national at birth but as a natural American by birth.
Even if Senator Obama truly was a born citizen, was he also a natural citizen? The answer is "no", -not by any principle that any imagination can come up with. But the liberal legal scholars (Olsen & Tribe) hired by the Senate to research the matter managed to invent one anyway. They rightfully determined that John McCain, having been the progeny of American parents, was therefore an American by birth and as such his citizenship was natural citizenship because he was born with it as his natural right.
But the matter didn't end there because another Senator was running for the Presidency and he was not born to American parents, -in particular to an American father, but to an alien student here on a visa. Those two legal "experts", seeking to mitigate the impact of the accuracy of their McCain finding, therefore concocted the theory that both kinds of citizenship can be viewed as natural since historically both had been citizens from birth. But that was deliberately fraudulent logic because it's the circumstances of their births that distinguish the two from each other. One with citizen parents is by nature a citizen also, but one with foreign parents is a citizen from birth only by the magnanimity of the American voters and the Supreme Court's interpretation of the 14th Amendment handed down in 1898.
Barack Obama's citizenship has the law on his side, but the problem is that no one who is a citizen by law is also a natural citizen since natural citizenship is not granted by any law every written. Nor by the Constitution, because it was viewed as a natural unalienable right that neither the government nor the people that it represents have any authority to grant or rescind. It is a natural right that all humans are born with, and which government did not create.
It is a natural inheritance from the parents, just as a baby tiger inherits its nature and species from its parents, so Americans inherit their parents' membership, -citizenship in the American family. Just as a natural-born Chinese couple cannot produce a natural-born African child, -just as a natural born Jewish couple cannot produce a natural born Arab, so a natural born American couple cannot produce a natural born foreign child, nor can a foreign couple produce a natural American child
The word "natural" either has meaning solely in relation to ones parentage, or it has no meaning at all. One who is a "born citizen" via birth in America to foreign parents is a constitutional 14th Amendment citizen, -not a natural citizen because their citizenship, though acquired automatically from birth, is not natural citizenship because it was not a natural inheritance from their parents.
The second significant falsehood is connected to the significance of birth within U.S. borders. Much importance was place on the belief that Senator Obama was born in America but that importance was a sham. It had no connection to presidential eligibility nor could it alone convey constitutional citizenship which requires one to be subject to the jurisdiction of the federal government at birth.
All natural citizens are subject at birth because their parents are, but not all children born to foreigners are subject because some foreigners are not immigrants but instead are mere transients. Transients are not legal permanent members of American society and thereby subject to U.S. jurisdiction, but instead are foreign diplomats, visitors, workers, professionals, and students. They are subject to their own government and protected by International Treaty, including Barack Obama Sr.
Therefore Senator Obama was not covered by the 14th Amendment through his father and thus his native-birth was not enough to convey 14th Amendment citizenship from birth. Consequently he was not a natural citizen through his father, nor an automatically naturalized 14th Amendment statutory citizen through him either. So the resulting importance of his Hawaiian birth was zero. It didn't relate to constitutional eligibility nor fulfill the requirements for 14th Amendment citizenship.
The third great falsehood regarding Senator Obama deals with the extensive evidence that both birth document digital images posted online contain manifold signs of illegitimate creation and the fact that no hard-copies have ever been produced and shown to the public or document experts to verify that the images posted online were results of the scanning of real paper documents. But even real paper documents cannot be verified as authentic and not counterfeits because of the bastardized nature of the digital reproduction and alteration process used by the Hawaiian Vital Statistics Office which results in an unathenticatible "ABSTRACT" instead of a "TRUE COPY".
How shall one respond to this, and what measures can be taken to insure that such a travesty is not allowed to transpire a second time? Challenges to his legitimacy as a constitutionally qualified Democrat Party candidate in each state can be attempted if a legal channel is available for such a challenge. His backers must get his name placed on the ballots of all 50 states one at a time, and that can be opposed one at a time across America. Only one successful challenge is needed to get the snowball rolling. After that things will escalate across the land.
One challenge is already in process (Georgia). Senator Obama failed to appear as required and thereby may lose by default. That would block him from appearing on the Georgia State ballot if the Secretary of State in Georgia concurs, unless some underhanded chicanery takes place out of sight. [update: it appears some underhanded chicanery took place because the judge in the Georgia case threw the verdict in favor of the defendant Obama even though he failed to appear and his lawyer failed to appear nor offer any rebuttal to the charges of his client's ineligibility]
[further update: both the Secretary of State and the Appeals Court and Supreme Court of Georgia have followed the same pattern; they gave the appearance of impartiality then threw the case to the defendant that failed to appear, -there's nothing suspicious about that; move along folks, there's nothing to see here, just move along]

Reports of Katie Couric's planned departure from the "CBS Evening News" quickly sparked - and appropriately so - talk about who might fill the anchor slot most famously held by Walter Cronkite.
But another big aspect of the story is whether Couric, in effect, will set out to succeed Oprah Winfrey, who is slated to leave her powerhouse daytime talk show next month.
How Couric's third act plays out will tell us whether anchors and hosts still matter much – in TV news and talk – post-Cronkite and soon, post-Winfrey.
Her reported decision to leave CBS – nearly 20 years to the day after she was named co-anchor of "Today" – already says a lot about the changing media landscape. Couric apparently believes there's a more prosperous path in trying to follow the queen of daytime talk than staying put in a once-vaunted news anchor chair.
She probably knew coming into negotiations that CBS was unlikely to continue to overpay her the reported $15 million a year she's pulled in since 2006. Couric apparently sees more dollar signs in the light of day – Winfrey's empire, after all, earned her the ranking of Forbes' most powerful celebrity last year. Couric also might see an opportunity to establish herself as the No. 1 player in the daytime realm, after five years of finishing behind NBC and ABC in the nightly news game.
If she goes the Winfrey route, Couric could face formidable competition in daytime veteran Ellen DeGeneres, and another journalist, Anderson Cooper, whose new show is set to debut in the fall.
Couric, though, seems built for the job, and might add some gravitas to the fluff. Her 15 years on the "Today" show gave her facility in bouncing easily from light to heavy, going from cooking segments to interviewing heads of state in between banter with Al and Matt. Her direct interviewing style can be effective, especially when a seemingly simple question turns out to be surprisingly difficult (see Palin, Sarah).
The newswoman is no comedian, but she's shown she doesn't always take herself seriously. We've seen additional softening of the edges in recent days, including a Couric cameo on "Glee," a Funny or Die video in which she investigates whether it's possible to "shake your sillies out," and a recent colonoscopy PSA for AOL that takes a comic turn amid the serious message.
The moves now appear to have been part of a campaign to raise Couric's profile and lighten her image as she prepared to leave CBS News. Last month, she joked with David Letterman, who chided her for considering an exit. "Once you take that anchor chair, that's what you do," he said. "Really?" she replied.
Letterman, who left NBC nearly two decades ago after Jay Leno got "The Tonight Show" gig, should know better than most folks that things change in the broadcasting business. There are no more Cronkites, like there are no more Johnny Carsons. There will soon be no more Oprahs.
There are still places for news and talk shows – more than ever, thanks to cable and the Internet. But the days of one-host dominance appear to be over.
After leaving TV, Carson disappeared from public life. Winfrey, of course, will dedicate herself to her OWN cable outlet.
Cronkite, the serious newsman, showed a lighter side in retirement by recording the part of the narrator in the 1995 revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" that starred Matthew Broderick. The current Broadway version of the musical comedy, featuring Daniel Radcliffe, features a voice-over by none other than Cooper.
Couric knows from hard-earned experience knows that any future success in broadcasting will require a lot more than trying. The Katie Show will go on, in some form, with a script yet to be written.

HIV/AIDS and Human Development South Africa 1998
Published :
18 November 2013
The country's first report focuses on the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS on the new South Africa and its potential to reverse recent gains in human development. The main message is one of hope that the further spread of the epidemic can be contained if national leadership combined with the active participation of people living with HIV/AIDs and all other civil society and public service partners channel their resources to fight the scourge. The report highlights the fact that, with South Africa's history of social mobilization against the apartheid system, it could equally address and overcome the threat of HIV and AIDS.

Obama: Underfunding Public Education is an Attack on the Middle Class
President Barack Obama addressed the NEA Representative Assembly on Thursday, saying that Governor Mitt Romney's attacks on teachers and public education are fundamentally an attack on the middle class.
He told more than 8,000 educators gathered in Washington: "You can't help the American people without helping education."
Romney's vision of education is a system that only benefits the richest Americans, Obama said. But the power of public education is its potential for personal growth and collective progress.
"Michelle and I wouldn't be where we are today if it weren't for great parents, great grandparents, and a great education," he said, adding that every child has a right to achieve the same through public education.
Obama spoke to the educators via telephone from Ohio, where he is kicking off a campaign tour.
NEA President Dennis van Roekel praised the president's efforts to save teachers' jobs, provide quality early childhood education, and make college more affordable.
NEA was the first and largest union in American to support the president's campaign for re-election. More than 20,000 NEA members have already joined Educators for Obama, and committed to volunteer for the effort.
"I'm proud to stand with you," Obama said. "And I'm proud to have your support."

(Reuters) - The United Auto Workers on Wednesday sharply criticized and vowed to appeal a U.S. agency's decision to let anti-UAW Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) workers defend the results of an election that the union lost last month at a Tennessee VW plant.
The UAW said it would appeal the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision, which it called an outrage.
The union said the NLRB had deviated from its own precedent by giving two groups of anti-UAW workers a formal role as legal parties to the election dispute.
The UAW has asked the NLRB to scrap the results of the election, which the union lost by a 712-626 vote, arguing that anti-union statements by politicians and outside groups compromised voting at the Chattanooga facility.
The anti-UAW workers are supported by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and Southern Momentum, two of the groups that campaigned against the UAW in the days leading up to the Volkswagen workers' vote.
The UAW said the two groups are "masquerading as legitimate worker representatives", but are actually funded by powerful business interests. They worked in tandem with Tennessee Republican politicians, such as Senator Bob Corker and Governor Bill Haslam, to disseminate anti-union messages, the UAW said.
"It is an outrage that their allies, who refused to reveal their funding sources and who openly republished the illicit threats in the media and among the Volkswagen workforce, will now be allowed to participate in the NLRB hearing," the UAW said in a statement.
The fight over the Chattanooga union election has landed at the feet of the NLRB, a federal agency that supervises union elections and polices unfair labor practices in the private sector.
The NLRB's regional office in Atlanta is handling the UAW's challenge to the election result. That office decided on Monday to grant the two groups of anti-union workers party status in the case. The regional office's decisions can be appealed to the full five-member NLRB board in Washington, D.C.
The UAW said it would ask the board to review the Atlanta office's decision on giving the anti-UAW workers party status.
The Atlanta regional office will also investigate the UAW's claims that outside parties unduly influenced the election outcome at the Chattanooga facility. That process will likely include a hearing, but it has not yet been scheduled.

Singer signs up to become a space tourist
British singer Sarah Brightman has bought a seat to fly on a Russian spaceship, describing it as a chance to live out a childhood desire "beyond her wildest dreams"
Brightman, 52, who once had a hit song called "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper", plans to rocket some 250 miles above Earth to the International Space Station - becoming the first space tourist since Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte donned a red clown's nose on his 2009 trip.
"I am more excited about this than I have been about anything I have done to date," Brightman, in platform heels and a silky black dress, told reporters in Moscow on Wednesday.
"Most of my life I have felt an incredible desire to take the journey to space that I have now begun," she said.
"This is beyond my wildest dreams."
A news conference held for the announcement in Moscow began with a music video advertising Brightman's new album "Dream Chaser", which is expected to be released in January.
The video of her crooning the album's top track "Angel" is spliced with footage of her as a child and famous moments from Soviet space history.
Brightman, a UNESCO artist for peace, said seeing fuzzy TV images of the first human steps on the moon in 1969 when she was eight years old inspired her with the dream to travel to space.
"It was something miraculous. For me it was an epiphany," she said of the experience.
While the singer did not disclose the price tag for the trip, the ninth so far brokered by U.S. firm Space Adventures, it is expected to be upward of $35 million.
Russia charges NASA astronauts more than $50 million per seat.
The adventure package includes 12 days in orbit. Brightman said she would use her mission to promote education for women in the sciences and raise environmental awareness.
The star, famous for starring in the musical "Phantom of the Opera", sang her about enthusiasm for space in thigh-high boots and a sequined leotard in her 1970s hit "I Lost my Heart to a Starship Trooper".
She has already booked a ride on Virgin Galactic's planned suborbital SpaceShipTwo vehicle.
"As a child of the 60s, with all the rockets they were sending up and the first man on the moon - space was very much in the child's understanding," she told Reuters.
"When I understood that it was possible even to take a suborbital flight suddenly it was: 'Yes, that is what I have always wanted to do. This is my dream!'"
She said she passed the rigorous pre-flight test at Russia's Star City training center outside Moscow "with flying colors".
A decade after U.S. businessman Dennis Tito became Russia's first space tourist, the commercial space flight industry is heating up.
U.S. space agency NASA gave the industry a boost when it signaled it expects to rely on private sector "space taxis" to ferry cargo and crew to the $100-billion orbital research station after the retirement of its shuttle program last year.
The U.S. agency has handed Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and Orbital Sciences Corp.(ORB.N) contracts worth a total $3.5 billion to reach that goal.
Several firms are now jostling for a position in a sector that officials in President Barack Obama's administration have estimated will be worth $1 billion in 10 years.
To experience weightlessness on Virgin Galactic's suborbital plane, Brightman will have bought a $200,000 ticket. The firm, an offshoot of British tycoon Richard Branson's Virgin Group, expects to launch commercial service in late 2013 or 2014.
The singer will be the first space tourist on Russia's Soyuz spaceship since 2009. Seats on the three-person craft became scarce when NASA mothballed its shuttles, leaving Russian rockets as the only ones capable of carrying crews into orbit.
NASA will double the amount of time an astronaut spends on the orbital station to one year - to lay the groundwork for future missions deeper into space - freeing up seats for tourists from March 2015.
Russian space official Alexei Krasnov said Brightman's flight would likely take place in the fall of 2015.
Brightman married composer Andrew Lloyd Webber in the 1980s and pursued a chart-topping solo career after they broke up in 1990, bringing classical music to a broader audience and selling millions of records along the way.

"We're both part of the same hypocrisy, senator, but never think it applies to my family." --- Michael Corleone in The Godfather: Part II
Last week, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law requiring welfare recipients to be tested for illicit drug use. According to Reuters:
The law was one of Scott's campaign promises. Supporters say it will help ensure that taxpayer money is used to get families on their feet and not to fuel drug habits at state expense.
"While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction," Scott said in a statement released after he signed the bill during a visit to Panama City.
"This new law will encourage personal accountability and will help to prevent the misuse of tax dollars."
Beginning July 1, recipients who test positive for drugs would be denied benefits for a year. A second failed test would result in a three-year ban.
In two-parent households, both adults would be tested. Benefits to children could be awarded to a third-party recipient, who must also pass a drug screen.
The same logic used by Governor Scott and his supporters to justify requiring welfare recipients to take drug tests also applies to any other person who receives any form of government subsidy, benefit, or assistance too. Should there also be a law requiring executives at companies that receive subsidies, tax benefits and other forms of corporate welfare to be tested for illegal drug use? What about requiring any politician who receives matching campaign funds to be tested for illegal drug use, too? Perhaps, there should be a law requiring taxpayers to be tested for illegal drug use before they can receive any tax credits or before they can itemize deductions on their tax returns?
As a just society, should we be careful not to selectively target our moral outrage on one specific group of people? Illegal drug use is not restricted to only poor people receiving government assistance. Think about how the same logic behind Florida's law can be used to ultimately require every single American to be subjected to such drug testing.
My point is that it is hypocritical to apply the logic behind the Florida law to only some of the people receiving government assistance. Should every American receiving any kind of government assistance be required to take drug tests? Further, we have to decide as a just society how far we are willing to go to stamp out illegal behavior before we become like the totalitarian societies that we despise. Tough choices.

Pelosi: Debt ceiling should be separate from fiscal cliff [Updated]
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) signaled Wednesday that she didn't want the debt ceiling – and its accompanying drama – wrapped up in the fiscal cliff negotiations.
"Well I don't think the debt ceiling has a place in all of this," she told reporters on Wednesday. "I think that we continue the McConnell rule."
The so-called "McConnell Rule" is a bit of procedure crafted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) under the Budget Control Act. for raising the debt ceiling. It calls for the debt ceiling to increase, unless both chambers of Congress pass a resolution to block it. If that were to happen, Obama would veto it and send it back to Congress, which would need a two-thirds majority to override the veto. This process is a way to symbolically put the onus on raising the debt limit on the president.
Pelosi's remarks on Wednesday repeated comments she made on MSNBC's "The Ed Show" Tuesday night, when she replied "no" when asked whether the debt ceiling should be tied to the fiscal cliff negotiations.
Later, a Pelosi spokesman clarified that "Leader Pelosi's position is that the bipartisan McConnell rule should be part of the fiscal cliff agreement," said Nadeam Elshami, a Pelosi spokesman. "America's middle class suffered as a result of the Republicans playing game with our economy last year."
President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid want the issue of the debt ceiling – which triggered a caustic debate on Capitol Hill last summer that led to the country's first downgrade of its credit rating -- resolved within the fiscal cliff negotiations.
The Obama administration's initial offer included a permanent, "unlimited" debt limit hike with no strings – or spending cuts – attached, although Congress would still be allowed to disapprove the debt increase. That's a nonstarter with House Republicans, whose counteroffer to the White House earlier this week did not explicitly include the debt limit.
The Treasury Department explained in a blog post Wednesday why the administration wanted to include the so-called McConnell rule in this latest round of fiscal cliff talks.
But McConnell's aides note that the procedure only came about because the law that included the McConnell rule had more than $2 trillion in spending cuts.
"While we're certainly flattered that the administration praised one piece of the Budget Control Act, they seem to have amnesia on the rest of the plan," said Don Stewart, a McConnell spokesman.
"The president wants to have the ability to raise the debt ceiling whenever he wants, for as much as he wants, with no responsibility or spending cuts attached," Stewart continued. "This is an idea opposed by Democrats and Republicans alike; it's a power grab that has no support here."
Still, it's an idea that Democrats are touting.
With the McConnell rule, "we have a path away from that," Pelosi told reporters. "Because really, that is holding hostage any investments in the future that we can make, any fairness that we can inject into the revenue challenge that we have."

When I visited Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula two years ago I was blown away by the beautiful beaches and the ancient ruins, but what made a truly lasting impression were the incredible dresses worn by so many of the local women. These simple white cotton garments, adorned with bright floral embroidery on the bodice and hem, are called huipils. I bought two, but it took all of my self control not to buy twenty of them!
"Huipil" is a catchall term for a loose-fitting rectangular shaped dress or tunic traditionally worn by the indigenous women of Mexico and Central America. They can be long or short, simple or ornate, wide or slim. Whatever their shape and style, huipils are stunningly well-crafted and effortlessly chic! The dead-simple silhouette flatters everyone and drapes perfectly without any finicky shaping.
Ever since my trip I have wanted to try my hand at my own version of this classic dress. Robert Kaufman's Cotton Linen Chambray in a beautiful deep indigo seemed like a perfectly unique jumping off point. It has the sturdiness of denim, but the grace of a genuine huipil. Combining traditions, I stitched the embroidery in a simple sampler style, choosing a spectrum of DMC Pearl Cotton in blues highlighted by a shock of bright yellow.
In a nod to the versatility of the traditional huipil, this little jumper can be worn by a younger child as a dress and then transition into a tunic for an older child, like Coco, who is 7. And put it on all year round, in the summer on its own and in the cooler months over a long sleeved tee shirt. It's really no wonder these dresses have been around for so long!
To make one jumper:
- One yard of Robert Kaufman Cotton Linen Chambray
- 100% cotton thread to match the chambray, color 6230
- 100% cotton thread to contrast the chambray, I used white but you can use any contrasting color that you happen to have on hand
- DMC Pearl Cotton in colors 307, 747, 996, 995, 826, and 318
- A fabric marker
- An Embroidered Denim Jumper Neck Template, available for free download here, printed and cut out.
To fit a 4-year old as a dress and a 7-year old as a tunic.
From the fabric cut:
- One rectangle 16-inches wide by 17-inches tall. This is the bodice.
- Two rectangles 18-inches wide by 16-inches tall. These are the skirt pieces.
The Neck
Press the bodice in half lengthwise so that the 16-inch sides meet one another. This pressed piece will be 16-inches wide by 8 1/2-inches tall.
Mark the middle of the folded side, 8-inches from the left and right sides.
Place the straight side of the neck template along the top fold of the fabric matching the middle marks of the fabric and template.
Cut out the neck shape along the template.
Unfold the fabric. You will have an oval shaped neck as shown in the picture above.
With the wrong side facing roll the neck edge about 1/4-inch towards the wrong side of the fabric thus encasing the raw edge. It's easier to do this if your fingers are slightly wet.
Rolling the edge as you go and using the embroidery thread of your choice, sew a blanket stitch (also called buttonhole stitch) over this rolled edge. Stick the needle into the fabric just below the rolled hem and pull it out and upwards in front of the working thread, as shown above.
Pull the stitch taut. This will catch the working thread and lay it along the rolled edge as shown above. Take the next stich 1/4-inch to the right of the first. Stitch around the entire neck opening in this manner. If you're new to blanket stitch you might want to read this previous project journal which goes into more detail.
Using all the colors of embroidery thread sew successive rows of different embroidery stitches around the neck opening. You should feel license to play around in this step- it's fun! I used the following stitches, listed from the top (just under the the row of blanket stitch) to the bottom: zig zagged backstitch, chain stitch, cross stitch on its side, running stitch, and a row of french knots. But you can use any stitches you like!
Once you're done with the embroidery refold the bodice in half across the long side so the 16-inch raw edge is at the bottom. Put the bodice aside for now.
The Skirt
Orient a skirt piece so it is 16-inches vertically and 18-inches horizontally . Fold it in half along the top 18-inch side to mark the center, 9-inches from the left and right sides. Then make a mark 2-inches to the right and 2-inches to the left of this center mark. You will now have a centered 4-inch length marked at the top edge of the skirt as shown above.
Using a wide basting stitch on your machine and the contrasting thread sew across this 4-inch length with a 1/8-inch seam allowance. Back stitch at the beginning of the row but not at the end. Instead of backstitching, leave a long tail of thread. This is your first row of gathering stitches.
Sew the next row of gathering stitches with a 5/8-inch seam allowance, under the first row. Start at the opposite end of the 4-inch marked length. Again, backstitch at the beginning but not at the end of this row of stitches.
The two rows of gathering stitches should look like the picture above. The long tails should be at opposite ends.
Pull on the tails of the rows of gathering stitches so that the skirt piece gathers in the middle. Gather it until the skirt becomes the same width as the bodice (16-inches.)
Pin the bottom edge of the bodice to the top edges of the skirt piece, right sides together.
Using the matching thread sew the skirt to the bodice with a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Rip out the gathering stitches. Zig zag stitch across the raw edges of the seam to finish the edges. Press the seam allowance flat towards the bodice and then sew the allowances to the bodice by topstitching across the bottom edge of the bodice just above the seam.
Repeat for the second skirt piece.
The Sides
Pin sides of the jumper right sides together matching the bodice/skirt seams, represented by the dashed red line in the picture above. Make a mark 4-inches above the bottom edge of the skirt (this is the bottom mark) and 1-inch above the bodice/skirt seam (this is the top mark).
Using the matching thread and a 1-inch seam allowance sew the sides together just from the bottom mark to the top mark. You will be leaving the bottom 4-inches and the top portion of the bodice unsewn.
Separate the two sides of the seam allowance and press them down 1-inch towards the wrong side of the fabric (esseintially you're pressing them open.) When you get the the unsewn portions keep pressing the fabric 1-inch towards the wrong side thus leaving those sections open and giving them a folded edge.
Fold the seam allowance 1/2-inch back into itself to hide the raw ends all along the entire length of the sides. Press and pin the folds in place as shown above.
You will be sewing this fold down by hand using a slip stitch, just as you would for a quilt binding. Use a contrasting embroidery thread if you want these stitches to show like I did or a more matching one if you want them to blend in.
Working on the wrong side take a tiny stitch from the fabric just below the fold. (Make sure you're only sewing through one layer of fabric!) Then slip the needle through the bottom of the fold and push it out 1/2-inch to the left. Take another tiny stitch just below this exit point and then go forward through the fold again.
Sew down the entire fold in this manner.
Repeat for the other side of the jumper.
Once the sides are sewn press the jumper flat, still with the wrong sides facing out.
The Bottom Hem
Press the bottom edges 1/2-inch towards the wrong sides twice and pin the folds in place.
Using a slip stitch sew the bottom hems down, and then turn the jumper right sides out and press it flat.
You're all done!

There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.
StoneFil has a very high filling with stone powders and therefore the filament can have a slightly more abrasive effect on brass nozzles than unfilled filaments.

Nozzle cleaning
When printing with filled/composite filaments it is recommended to clean your nozzle immediately after printing by feeding 15-20cm PLA filament through your nozzle. This will make sure that any potential fillers are flown out of your nozzle. It is even better to use glow in the dark PLA as the extremely hard phosphorous particles are much more likely to scrape out residual waste from your nozzle.

I think the way we enter and understand InputForm is syntax; FullForm is the way they're stored internally. So Mathematica's pattern matching isn't what I'd call syntactical... unless you mean "syntactical on a hidden (though discoverable) level".

It's been 23 years since "Dirty Dancing," but Jennifer Grey still has it.
On Monday's two-hour season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars," the veteran actress and her pro partner Derek Hough earned the highest scores of the night, performing a Viennese waltz to the tune of "These Arms of Mine."
"Baby is back where she belongs," exclaimed "Dancing" judge Bruno Tonioli after the performance.
Local news from across Southern California
It was a reference to Baby Houseman, the character Grey played opposite the late Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing." During a DWTS rehearsal, Grey, 50, was shown overcome with emotion as memories of working with Swayze were dredged up by Hough's song choice from the 1987 film's soundtrack.
The pair went on to earn 24 points out of 30 from the show's three judges, with panelist Carrie Ann Inaba getting teary-eyed during her critique.
"Something very profound just happened," Inaba said. "Some things get better with age. I think you're one of them."
Brandy, the R&B singer, and Disney Channel star Kyle Massey tied for second place with 23 points each.
"I think I just fell in love. You are officially my first crush," Inaba told Massey after his playful cha cha cha with partner Lacey Schwimmer.
Retired NFL quarterback Kurt Warner and ex-Laker Rick Fox also drew praise from their judges after performing Viennese waltzes.
Among those who tied for last place with 15 points apiece were comedienne Margaret Cho, "Jersey Shore" star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and veteran actor David Hasselhoff.
Sorrentino, who had just five days to prepare for his cha cha cha because of a conflicting schedule, was scolded by judge Len Goodman after his dance that he'd "got the guns but not the ammunition."
At least with Sorrentino and Hasselhoff's trainwreck performances the judges said they hoped to see them make it through the first night's elimination.
Cho didn't get much encouragement to continue on. The judges panned her decision to deliberately tangle herself up in her elaborate costume and exaggerate her expression.
"What the hell was that? I thought you were going to eat someone," observed Tonioli.
Bristol Palin, the daughter of ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, exposed the judges' softer sides.
"I think that was very acceptable for week one," said Len Goodman after Palin ripped off a suit to reveal a sexy red dress as she strutted the cha cha cha. "Just need to loosen up a little bit. You're nervous."
Palin, whose famous mom was not in the audience, had earlier said that she'd connected with the Tom Jones song "Mama Told Me Not to Come" her partner had chosen for the dance.
"It's like Levi and my relationship. Mama told me not to do it. But I did it anyway," she said of her ex.
Other celebrities who performed on the season 11 premiere were "Brady Bunch" star Florence Henderson, ex-"Hills" star Audrina Partridge and singer Michael Bolton.
The first celebrity to get the ax as a result of their low scores and audience votes will be revealed Tuesday on ABC.

This computer supports security password features, which can be established through the Computer Setup Utilities menu.
This computer supports two security password features that are established through the Computer Setup Utilities menu: setup password and power-on password. When you establish only a setup password, any user can access all the information on the computer except Computer Setup. When you establish only a power-on password, the power-on password is required to access Computer Setup and any other information on the computer. When you establish both passwords, only the setup password will give you access to Computer Setup.
When both passwords are set, the setup password can also be used in place of the power-on password as an override to log in to the computer. This is a useful feature for a network administrator.
If you forget the password for the computer, you can clear that password so you can gain access to the information on the computer by resetting the password jumper.
caution:Pushing the CMOS button will reset CMOS values to factory defaults. It is important to back up the computer CMOS settings before resetting them in case they are needed later. Back up is easily done through Computer Setup. See Computer Setup (F10) UtilityComputer Setup (F10) Utility for information.

Take a look at www.youtube.com/edu
It's YouTube's education initiative, and has lectures from many great universities available online. I spent 40 minutes trying to follow the General Theory of Relativity before I gave up, but it was cool to think of myself as a physics major at Stanford for a little while. (the lecture is 1 hour and 38 minutes long, so I didn't last that long!)
It's a great opportunity to learn. It's also worth thinking about what kinds of opportunities this raises for an education company like ours. Any thoughts? Let me know.

Goa Redux
I'm back home from our Higher Education NSM in Goa, and I think we all had a great time. Well done to everyone who was involved in the planning and execution of the event.
The format was tighter this year, and we managed to cover the agenda in two days, rather than the three we did before, and I think this works well.
The team seems confident of beating our budgets, but the next 4 months are going to test us all, the editors and manufacturing to get the books out on schedule, the sales force to drive sales, and the Operations team to execute the orders.
The hotel was beautiful, good service, and I was able to sneak out time for swimming and volleyball. I am dreading seeing some of the pictures from the dance on the last night!

When browsing, folder, albums and tracks are shown, this proposal details the visual representation of browsing:
When browsing, folder, albums and tracks are shown, this proposal details the visual representation of browsing:
what tapping an album, a track and that ">" will do?
i don't think i will ever need it but for the sake of clarity: will we be able to create our own structures based on title formatting?
> adds the item to playlist, tapping plays it (if a track) or goes into it if folder / album.
Not sure at this stage what level of customizing we will offer on formatting.
I like the layout. A + sign would work better than >, as > already has meaning in ios and android.
can we have numbers to represent rating instead of stars? i have seen people using 4, 6, 9, 12 and even 100 point rating scales
Congratulations, first of all, on goals reached so far! Is it likely that elements of the UI will be replaceable or hideable - for instance replacing 'ratings' with something else, or hiding it altogether? And might there be options when adding tracks or albums to a playlist - add next, add last, add shuffled and so on?
EDIT: Apologies, I see my second question is more or less answered in the Functionality Proposal thread.

If now all eventualities were covered (multidisc albums, presence of album artist tag or iTunes compilation tag, presence of track artist and similar stuff) then the best display could be offered automagically and without the need for user to write complex title formatting expressions. To sum up: you would have 1. album artist -> album -> track, 2. album -> track and 3. track at the end of each view. And it seems to me that the browse arrangement proposal is able to match all possibilities.
In regard to uper levels of browse hierarchy: also here title formatting could be avoided if for creation of views some fields (genre, style, date, publisher, ...) and some expressions (decade, first letter of artist, ...) are offered.
Only that and without the need of title formatting would be enough to offer much more than any other mobile player. I so far don't know neither one player that would let you create custom views, not to mention creation by title formatting. It is probably a matter of which point of view you have, but i can imagine that for the biggest part of the potential userbase the absence of title formatting would be the better experience.
Plus signs might make some more sense, but it's a minor point.
Was sort of hoping some kind of augmented folder tree would make it in. It's the best fallback, imho.
"I already wrote in phone design functionality proposal that "there are three basic entities of a library that each user could and would expect: album artist, album and tracks". Never mind what comes before in the browse hierarchy (genre, date, ...) these three entities would be always of interest. Therefore at the last level of hierarchy it would be reasonable to swipe through these entities. "
It makes sense to group thouse, but I'm not sure what you mean by 'swipe between them'.

When you browse you tap on an entry and you go one level deeper. In contrary swiping means: you swipe through the screen from left to right or right to left - that brings you to another view of the same level. In the case above, at the same level you can let display the same content as track list, as list of albums and album artists. That is the usual way how windows phone apps work. The ui control is called pivot and panorama function.
Personally I prefer to have the date precede the album name when browsing by artist > album or maybe have that option.
I'm sure you guys will be able to find the happy medium between usability and customizability/functionality.

Chris Brown is sorry for losing his temper.
The hip hop star apologized Wednesday night on BET for exploding at the studio of ABC's "Good Morning America" because the interviewer brought up his domestic abuse incident with ex-girlfriend and pop singer Rihanna.
"First of all, I want to apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, or anybody who was offended or really looked, and [was] disappointed by my actions," Brown said, according to a transcript of his live appearance on BET's "106 & Park" obtained by ABC News.
U.S. & World
"Yes, I got very emotional," he also said. "And I apologize for acting like that."
While taping an interview with GMA's Robin Roberts before a live performance in the Times Square studio on Monday, Brown was repeatedly asked about the loosening of Rihanna's restraining order against him.
Brown avoided the questions, and kept trying to bring the topic back to the new album he was there to promote, "F.A.M.E."
After the 22-year-old finished the interview he reportedly flew into a rage in the GMA dressing room. According to ABC, he smashed a window, tore off his shirt, and stormed out.
Brown said he felt the show was trying to "exploit" him with his past.
"I kind of took it very, very hard. And I kept my composure throughout the interview, although you could see me upset, you now, I kept my compsure and did my performance, and when I got back, i just let off, like steam in the back."
ABC said they would not press charges against the performer, meaning he won't be in violation of his parole and will not be facing jail time. Further, the show is inviting Brown back on to talk about it.

Bioscience is big business at the UA. With research being conducted in more than a dozen life sciences-related departments, world-renowned colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, Agriculture and Life Sciences, Engineering, and Optical Sciences, and research centers such as BIO5, the UA is providing expert solutions to the grand challenges in biotechnology and human, animal and plant health.
Core Competencies:
- Genomics
- Proteomics
- Bioinformatics
- Biophysics
- Biomedical Imaging
- Cancer
- Respiratory Diseases
- Plant Sciences and Pathology
- Pharmacology and Toxicology
- Biomedical Engineering
Bioscience research is also conducted in the Arizona Cancer Center, Arizona Respiratory Center, and Arizona Research Laboratories, among many other departments. UA research strengths include genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, biophysics, and medical imaging, with specialties in cancer, plant sciences and pathology, and biomedical engineering, to name a few. Most research endeavors are interdisciplinary; inquiry into bioinformatics problems, for example, involves faculty from the departments of Computer Science, Mathematics, and Management Information Systems. In the College of Optical Sciences, advances in biomedical imaging, biophotonics, experimental ultrasound and neural imaging, tissue optics and ophthalmic instrumentation and analysis help us to better observe and understand the human body. The Human Origins Genotyping Laboratory (HOGL) serves the DNA testing needs of large-scale projects for both the academic community and the private sector. Over the last few years HOGL has expanded to meet the needs of National Geographic and IBM's Genographic Project, as well as the DNA Shoah Project, a humanitarian effort to perform a forensic reconstruction of the victims of the Holocaust.
In the internationally-recognized BIO5 Institute, scientists from across campus converge to uncover innovations to treat disease, feed humanity and preserve livable environments. From unlocking the genomics of corn to examining ways to make flora and fauna more virus-resistant, BIO5 participants are committed to solving humanity's most complex biology-based problems. Together with the UA Office of Technology Transfer, BIO5 partners with industry to translate UA innovations into tangible human benefit. In fact, a number of biotechnology companies have been spun off UA research, including Ventana Medical Systems, Southern Arizona's largest life sciences firm, which was purchased by Roche Laboratories for $3.1 billion in 2008.
In 2008, The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a University of Arizona–led team $50 million dollars to create the iPlant Collaborative, a global center and computer cyberinfrastructure within which scientists can answer plant biology's grand challenge questions that no single research entity in the world currently has the capacity to address. The project unites plant scientists, computer scientists and information scientists from around the world for the first time ever to provide answers to questions of global importance and advance all of these fields.

Ask a Service Officer: Missed compensation, pension exam
Q. I missed my compensation and pension VA exam. What should I do?
A. After you've applied for disability compensation and pension, you will receive a letter or phone call telling you when and where to report for an exam. During a compensation and pension VA exam, a doctor will evaluate your medical condition(s) and then send a report to the VA regional office where your claim will be processed. It's the VA regional office, not your doctor, who decides your disability compensation and pension eligibility.
The Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA) has only two options for noting your attendance to a compensation and pension exam: reported or failed to report. If your exam notification was returned by mail, you received notice after the exam date or you didn't attend for various reasons, "failed to report" is still noted in the system. I advise you to ensure that your local VA hospital or clinic has your current mailing address and phone number on file. Otherwise, you may not receive your compensation and pension exam notice.
If you missed your exam, you may or may not be able to reschedule it by calling the compensation and pension unit at the VA hospital or clinic. You can explain in writing to the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) why you missed your exam and request a new one. Or, contact the VA regional office. If VHA has returned mail or other proof that you were not completely notified of the exam, it can help you in your request to VBA for a new one.
Please contact your American Legion accredited service officer for further assistance with this matter. To find a Legion service officer in your state, visit: www.legion.org/serviceofficers

* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 1 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions. As of 1 September 2018 the WLTP replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 1 September 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.
Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will, therefore, be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, in addition to weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car.

The U.S. went on to reach set point first at 24-23 and eventually won the set at 30-28.

Anderson totaled 18 kills and three blocks.
"I think the win was a nice team effort," said U.S. Head Coach John Speraw (Irvine, Calif.), who returned to the bench after taking Friday off for personal reasons. "We've had nice team efforts throughout World League with good contributions from off the bench and we saw that again tonight."
