Obama Administration Supports Rogue IRS Regulation in Order to Please Europeans, Even though It Will Undermine American Banks and Hurt the U.S. Economy

4 Truths Nobody Ever Tells You About Training
June 20, 2013 | By Rozalynn S. Frazier
I was never a runner. In fact, I kind of despised running—especially since my high school soccer coach used it as punishment. As an adult, however, I've come to love it so much I've completed five marathons. But after Hurricane Sandy put the kibosh on last year's New York City Marathon, I fell off track. Though I stayed active, for four months I never ran. Now I'm training again to run the marathon this November, and dealing with body aches and slooow runs.Read more

Chapter III:
Although the act authorizing Assateague Island National Seashore was a significant conservation victory, it was widely recognized as a compromise. As with most compromises, none of the parties involved was entirely happy with it. "We felt we had to selloverselleconomic benefits to the local communities," Stewart L. Udall later confessed, characterizing the connecting road and concessions development requirements as a trap we built for ourselves to get the legislation enacted." [1] When there is dissatisfaction there tends to be resistance, sometimes to the point whereif circumstances have changed sufficientlythe compromise is discarded for a new beginning. This was what happened with Assateague.
If Secretary Udall had built a trap, he was determined to keep out of it as long as possible. "I think it important. . .to make it clear to the people on the Virginia end that the actual building of this road has a low priority in our development program," Udall wrote George Hartzog in August 1966. "It is my own feeling that it would be improvident to build a road until a successful dunes stabilization program is well under way. There are other reasons why the road should have a low priority, but it seems to me that the absence of a protective barrier dune is a most compelling argument for the present. The Park Service director in turn pleased Director John S. Gottschalk of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife (BSFW) by confiding that he had no intention of requesting appropriations for the connecting road from Congress. In this position he was fortunate to have the sympathetic understanding of Representative Julia Butler Hansen, chairman of the House subcommittee on Interior appropriations. [2]

Occasionally when you're wandering around the internet, you stumble across things that defy explanation. This is one of those things.
Lingerie football, which has appeared a few times during Super Bowl halftimes on some random cable channel that I forget, is going big time in 2009. It'll have it's own league, known as the Lingerie Football League, and will have 10 teams.
Now, admittedly I just thought they planned to pull the hottest rejects from NFL cheerleader tryouts, but apparently I was wrong. The above video is a 40-yard dash time trial that was recently conducted by the league to assess the talent - naturally it was conducted in a parking lot. That's where the NFL Draft combine takes place too, right? I just hope everyone had to take the Wonderlic. Some of these girls might have wound up with a score that would make Mario Mannigham look like a genius.
Anyway, because it's clear that how fast these attractive women are makes a HUGE difference in how watchable this league will be - rather than their average chest size - here's a clip of the, uh, highlights of games past. Obviously, speed is

By Wendell Brock
They parted ways after a stormy relationship and came together again during a blizzard. Such is the story of Steven Dietz's "Shooting Star," a romantic comedy about a pair of long-parted lovers who find themselves stranded at an airport in the so-called snowstorm of the century.
Warily at first, then with the energy of a speeding jet, Reed and Elena enjoy a flickering encounter that allows them to reconsider the past, unbury their secrets and sort through the accumulated debris of their real and metaphorical baggage in this featherweight play at Horizon Theatre.
Directed by Jeff Adler and starring Jim Hammond and Leigh Campbell-Taylor as the snowbound former love birds, "Shooting Star" opened, coincidentally, at the moment a blanket of fluffy white powder covered Atlanta on Friday and in the wake of an East Coast "snow-mageddon" that grounded travelers and even shut down the federal government.
All irony of timing aside, "Shooting Star" is a breezy 90 minutes of playful comedy that revels in the dissimilar politics and personalities of its shaggy New Age heroine and her starched and conservative ex-boyfriend. Alternating between short monologues told in flashback form and extended moments where the old lovers reminisce about their time together as '70s college students, the play derives its structure from the patter of airport announcements, the near-takeoffs of planes, and the characters' bouts of hunger and napping.
Like an "Up in the Air" that remains stuck on the ground, the play never goes anywhere much; and after so much froth, its sudden attempt to offer meaningful reflections on the pair's failure as parents feels like luggage that's tossed on board in a panicked, last-minute ploy to shore up the weak narrative girding. Elena's 11th-hour confessional, made during a telephone conversation with Reed's daughter, sends the action into a nose-dive that pre-empts a gentle landing. It's so awkward and phony that you won't believe a word of it.
But the story's unevenness never detracts from the delightful Carol Burnett-style daffiness of Campbell-Taylor's Elena or the steady calm and subtle charm of Hammond's Reed, who will eventually reveal a few cracks under his assured demeanor. Elena is the kind of woman who espouses the value of NPR but never contributes a dime, meditates flamboyantly in the airport and mixes her own trail mix in a discarded McDonald's bag, only to tell us that she ate the burger and fries, too. A woman with a boring telephone-survey job who pictures herself as an exotic conquest, Elena is sure to have some holes in her carefully constructed image.
Design-wise, the work of Moriah and Isabel Curley-Clay (who create both sets and costumes) is splashed with telling details. They turn Horizon's intimate stage into an airport waiting area of remarkable verisimilitude — you know that carpet! — while Elena's costumes — oceans of tie-dye and Asian-inspired pajamas and robe — speak volumes about her zany sense of self.
Horizon's 26th season opener, "Shooting Star" is a likable enough way to spend an evening. Just don't expect a deeply affecting emotional experience. Big on charm and short on insight, it has all the staying power of snow.

The Obama administration is tempering its tough talk on Libya with a dose of reality, explaining that even a no-fly zone over the country would require a military attack on Moammar Gadhafi's regime. The Pentagon made it clear that it didn't want war.
Statements Wednesday by Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton illustrated the administration's effort to rein in "loose talk" about military options to force Gadhafi from power. It was an acknowledgement that, short of an unlikely military offensive by a U.S.-led coalition, the options for international action to stem the violence appeared highly limited, even as armed rebels pressed their fight against troops still loyal to the Gadhafi regime.
"Let's just call a spade a spade: A no-fly zone begins with an attack on Libya to destroy the air defenses," Gates told a congressional panel. The Pentagon could get the job done if ordered by the president, he said, but noted that an attack would require more air power than a single U.S. aircraft carrier, which typically carries about 75 planes.
"It is a big operation in a big country," Gates said.
The unspoken subtext was that with U.S. forces already deeply committed in Afghanistan, still winding down military operations in Iraq, and on the watch for surprises in Iran and elsewhere in the volatile Persian Gulf region, the risks associated with military action in Libya might be unacceptable.
In support of Gates' point, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that despite media reports of Libyan aircraft attacking rebel areas, the Pentagon had not confirmed any air attacks. He also said it must be assumed that Libya's air defenses are substantial.
Alluding to Gates' announcement a day earlier that he had ordered two U.S. warships into the Mediterranean in case they are needed for civilian evacuations or humanitarian relief, Clinton said in separate testimony that the crisis calls for a mix of diplomacy and defense.
"We are taking no option off the table so long as the Libyan government continues to turn its guns on its own people," Clinton said. But she told two separate Senate subcommittees that the government was far from being in a position to commit to a military response, even as she outlined grave concern about the instability affecting the North African country.
"One of our biggest concerns is Libya descending into chaos and becoming a giant Somalia," Clinton said. "It is right now not something that we see in the offing, but many of the al-Qaida activists in Afghanistan and later in Iraq came from Libya and came from eastern Libya, which is now the so-called free area."
Egyptian officials said two U.S. warships passed through the Suez Canal on Wednesday on their way to the Mediterranean Sea, closer to Libya. The amphibious assault ships USS Kearsarge and USS Ponce entered the canal from the Red Sea. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they aren't authorized to talk to media, said the Kearsarge carried 42 helicopters.
There has been no consensus in Congress for U.S. military action in Libya. Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Wednesday that while a no-fly zone over Libya is "not a long-term proposition," the Pentagon should be prepared to go that route if so ordered.
Senators, meanwhile, worked on an aid package to Arab countries to solidify democratic gains and improve relations with citizens in a part of the world accustomed to U.S. support for questionable rulers. Kerry, D-Mass., called the financial assistance crucial to cementing a democratic transformation.
Some U.S. allies in NATO are mulling the idea of creating a no-fly zone over Libya. But Germany cautioned Wednesday against playing into charges that the West is unduly meddling in Arab affairs. For their part, military analysts warned that such an operation would be technically difficult and very expensive and that it was unlikely the U.S. or Europe wanted to take on the responsibility.
Associated Press writers Matthew Lee, Robert Burns and Donna Cassata in Washington and Gregory Katz in London contributed to this report.

I've mentioned that I analyze photo's for hidden meaning. Lately I've noticed our leadership has been practicing hand gestures found among the nobility of old Europe.
So it's fitting that this 'Empress of the New World Order' Hillary expresses her noblesse oblige by offering her raised albeit 'left hand' of understanding along with beneficent restraint concerning military options on behalf of 'Empire Americanus'. Of course she has the index and forefinger of her right hand crossed behind her back no doubt.
Watch out Libya…"Big Sister" speaks…! / : |

"the index and forefinger of her right hand crossed" …extract from post and quite a feat I might add? / : |
Should read more simply and correct:
Of course on her other hand she has her fingers crossed behind her back no doubt.
This is what happens when one hasn't had their first cup of coffee in the AM and tries to post witty commentary . My apologies. : (

A gesture of grandeur / shinola Carl;

Why can't NATO take care of anything without the United States being involved? We give away so much money and weapons, why can't the NATO allies create the no fly zone they want on their own? It's Europe that gets oil from Libya, so make them fight for it.
And once again we see the lies of al-C.I.A.da working in Iraq from NWO tool Clinton. Whip up the anti-Muslim frenzy. Lord knows her political career is over after her stint as SoS, if history is any indicator.
Likewise, why are Americans being asked to sacrifice while our Congress takes measures to send more money overseas as "foreign aid?" Cut the domestic budget by $61 billion, then give it all away to foreign powers? Senator Kerry should take some of his own Heinz money and send it if he's so worried. Maybe they'll take payment in bottles of ketchup?
And another thing, for all the Orwell fans out there, I'd love to hear how invading another country for stable oil supplies for Europe counts as "defense" as per das Fräulein Clinton. GRRRRR!

Supporting think tanks series: synthesis of the think pieces -(possible) recommendations
This second post based on a series of think pieces written on supporting think tanks focuses on practical advice for the Knowledge Sector Initiative and similar efforts. It suggests that greater attention must be place on the environment of think tanks and other policy research actors. Of particular importance is to understand the real relationship between donors, grantees, and any contractors charged with delivering the initiatives' missions.

Found September 02, 2013 on Grab Some Bench:
PLAYERS: Tyler Flowers, Bryan Anderson, Miguel Gonzalez, Craig Breslow
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox
It's been a tough year for White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers and with Monday's news, the worst had not even come yet. Tyler's right shoulder has been bothering him for a while, so he will undergo exploratory surgery on it this Thursday. According to the 27 year-old (as reported by Scott Merkin), the "problem was discovered" exactly one year ago. The recovery process is expected to take 3-6 months, getting him back anytime between December and April. It'll be interesting to see what the team decides to do with him this offseason. He certainly won't be the team's starter likely at any point in 2014, but he does have a shot at a backup role. But again, the future at the catcher position is still very much up in the air for the White Sox. Bryan Anderson, 26, and Miguel Gonzalez, 22, were both among the team's September call-ups. These catchers would both love to impress throughout the month to give themselves a shot at the major league ball club next year as well. Flowers' last at-bat of the 2013 season came on Sunday, when he blasted a mammoth home run out of Fenway Park off of Red Sox reliever Craig Breslow, his tenth of the year.

Our insurance teams contain professionals with substantial hands-on experience and knowledge gained from helping a broad range of clients address their issues and challenges. Additionally, the insurance teams maintain a regular dialogue with regulators and industry bodies to understand the issues of the future and how the insurance landscape is evolving.
Growth: Insurers are expanding into emerging markets such as Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and India, which are generally underinsured but increasingly affluent. In mature markets, demographic changes are driving new product development as insurance companies adjust to the changing needs of their core domestic client base. Takaful Insurance is opening up an exciting Islamic market.
Performance: Many of the larger groups are complex, diverse entities that have been very successful in mergers and acquisitions and in growing their product sets and geographic scope. The challenge now is to maximise benefits from these developments and achieve a sustainable and rewarding return on capital through such initiatives as improving operational efficiency, restructuring and cost savings.
Governance: Insurance companies face challenges to improve the quality of their risk management, underwriting discipline and risk pricing. In many cases improvements are still required in the basic documentation and reporting of risk. This is a growing challenge as the evolving industry standards of IFRS Phase II and Solvency II place new demands on insurers for increased control and transparency.

Houston Texans (2-11 SU, 3-10 ATS) vs. Indianapolis Colts (8-5 SU, 7-6 ATS)
NFL Week 15
Date and Time:Sunday, December 15, 1:00pm
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium - Indianapolis, IN
by Bob, Football Handicapper, Predictem.com
Point Spread: HOU +6/IND -6
Over/Under Total: 46
Bet your Texans/Colts pick at an online sportsbook where your credit card WILL work and where you can deposit $100 to $500 and get a dollar for dollar matching bonus: GTBets.
This Sunday, December 15, the Houston Texans will head to Northeast to take on the Indianapolis Colts. Indy comes into this game at 8-5 and in most divisions, if not all of them throughout the entire NFL, this record would have you in a struggle to not only win your division, but you would have a little work to do to make the post season in general. Well, the Colts at 8-5 have a strangle hold on the AFC South division. With Houston and Jacksonville stinking up the league, and the Titans just being the mediocre Titans, the Colts pretty much have the division title sealed up. Houston on the other hand...my oh my, what a mess they are. The Texans have dropped into dead last in the division, and have gone so cold, that they are two games behind the Jaguars. Now that sucks. Indianapolis comes into this game as a 6 point favorite over the lowly Texans. With the eleven game losing streak, the firing of head coach Gary Kubiak, and just the overall sucking of the Texans, one would think that they Colts win this one with ease. But...its the NFL, so you never know!
The Colts have all but wrapped up the AFC South, but lately they have not looked as good as they did earlier in the season. They have dropped two of their last three, and the two losses were humiliating. This past Sunday, the Bengals pounded them 42-28, and then a few weeks ago they suffered a staggering defeat to the Rams by a score of 40-11. The running game has been the weakness for the Colts. Actually, the running game on both sides of the ball has been the weakness. The Colts are only gaining a little over 100 yards a game on the ground, while they are giving up over 130 per contest. Andrew Luck has played well, but the kid can't do this all by himself. In order to win this game, and cover the six, the Colts need to play defense. Houston has had turnover problems all season long, and if the Colts can D up and keep that trend going, they should be ok. However, if Indy plays lackluster defense and cannot run the ball themselves, they could very easily lose this game.
Betting Tip: You go to the store to buy something. One product is $110 and one is $105. EXACT same product. Which do you buy? The cheaper one! Of course! So why are you still laying -110 odds on football games whn you could be laying -105 at 5Dimes?
Houston we have a problem. My god, these guys stink. They started 2-0 and looked like they were on their way to the Super Bowl, or at least a deep playoff run. Well, since that 2-0 start, they haven't been on the winning side of a game yet. If I told you back in August that the Texans would endure an 11 game winning streak during this season, you would think I had lost my mind. The really sad thing is the fact that they aren't just losing...they are losing bad..to bad teams. Houston was swept this season by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Not only did they get swept by a team that started 0-8, they also dropped a game to Oakland, then lost to Tennessee. Houston has given up. They have played with absolutely no heart and no will to win. Head coach Gary Kubiak was fired this week after their loss to the Jaguars 27-20. I guess Kubiak is the one who was missing tackles and throwing pick sixes all season. If Houston is going to win this game, or better yet, compete in this game, they just need to show some heart. They are still the more talented team. On paper they should be at about 9-10 wins already this season, but like the old saying goes; "That's why you play the games." Wade Phillips will be stepping in as interim coach for the Texans...will they show some heart and play for Wade? Or will they fold like they have done for the last two months?
Bob's Pick to Cover the Point Spread: I am going to keep it real while I pick this game. Houston sucks. They have shown no heart, no desire, no attitude, no killer instinct, and to be honest, just no professionalism during this 11 game losing streak. When I say Houston sucks, I don't even mean just the team. Their fans cheered as their starting QB, Matt Schaub, who was injured was helped off the field. That is just flat out trashy. When I saw that, I told myself that that franchise and fanbase didn't deserve to win...and they haven't won since and in my opinion rightfully so. Speaking of class, Andrew Luck may be learning the quarterback position on the field, but he has been total class off the field. Every situation Luck has been in, both good and bad, he has handled with dignity and integrity. This kid has a great future ahead of him. Ok, I am not even going to spit out percentages and numbers for this pick. Indy is going to kill Houston. Houston will go on the road, and just like the last eleven games, find a way to screw it up and lose. Indy wins this game 31-17. PICK THE COLTS -6

In our first two posts we reviewed two of the most popular platforms for social business portals, Jive and Sharepoint. We found that Jive is feature-rich, user friendly, but also expensive. Sharepoint on the other hand is less user friendly, but a powerful tool nonetheless, particularly for businesses that use Microsoft products extensively. In this review we will examine Drupal Commons 3.0, an open-source Drupal-based platform.

MAP is a three-week art intensive summer program designed to enhance 20 high school students' creative skills by immersing them in a college-level fine arts environment. In partnership with the Art Department at LIU Brooklyn, MAP offers support on all levels, including portfolio building, networking and studio instruction. MAP is a new initiative that seeks to ensure that young artists of African descent have the support, skills, relationships, and experiences necessary for pursuing a bachelors degree in the fine arts, and ultimately joining the long legacy of Brooklyn-based artists of African descent.
The program was spearheaded by Ruby Amanze, as a way to address the lack of racial and class diversity in college-level arts programs. MoCADA is proud to partner with LIU Brooklyn to provide young visual art students of African descent with a three-week program that will prepare them for a bright future in the arts. Students receive hands-on art instruction in drawing and painting from professional practicing artists with a focus in observational study integral to portfolio development. A culminating exhibition of the students' work will be displayed in Salena Gallery at LIU Brooklyn. Furthering MoCADA's mission, MAP seeks to deepen participating students' understanding of contemporary African Diasporan art through lectures and site visits to artists' studios, galleries, and museums.
The 2013 Program will run from July 22- August 9. The application deadline is July 10. This program is open to rising Juniors and Seniors who have demonstrated a talent and passion in the visual arts, and who aspire to prepare portfolios to continue their studies. Applicants need to submit the application form, a letter of recommendation from a school faculty member, a written statement of interest and a 8.5″ x 11″ hand drawn self portrait using either pencil or charcoal (no color).

Public Storage (NYSE:PSA)
The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT that acquires, develops, owns and operates self-storage facilities.
I can't say whether this stock will under perform the S&P, because they're both going to take a beating. That said; Public Storage will come down hard, because we're in the grips of deflation.
Who, in their right mind, will pay to store old junk; when they can use this money to buy new items at 90% off? When money gets tighter, which it will, you can expect to see storage renters take a hike - and leave the owners with this junk to haul away.
although the millions who have foreclosed on their homes and the millions who WILL foreclose on their homes in early 2010 may need a place to store there stuff
everything i have left is in storage...with Public Storage no less.
Why they show this is a mystery. Guy was way off and with rentals going big, storage will follow. Houses are gettig beter but will be smaller to capture the main market.

James Meredith, the black man who 50 years ago inflamed white Mississippi by quietly demanding admission to the state's segregated flagship university, does not plan to participate this week in the university's commemoration of his history-making enrollment.
The University of Mississippi says Meredith, now 79 and living in Jackson, has been invited to take part in events to mark the anniversary, but Meredith says he doesn't see the point.
"I ain't never heard of the Germans celebrating the invasion of Normandy, or the bombing and destruction of Berlin. I ain't never heard of the Spanish celebrating the destruction of the Armada."
Asked to clarify, Meredith said: "Did you find anything 50 years ago that I should be celebrating?"
Mississippi's segregationist governor in 1962, Ross Barnett, denounced the federal government as "evil and illegal forces of tyranny" for ordering Ole Miss to enroll Meredith, a 29-year-old Air Force veteran.
In the face of state defiance, President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, deployed more than 3,000 soldiers and 500 law enforcement officers to Oxford. Two white men were killed and more than 200 people were injured, including 160 U.S. marshals, in the ensuing riot.
Meredith is now memorialized by a bronze statue on campus, which he calls "hideous" and wants destroyed.
Meredith says the monument glosses over the magnitude of Mississippi's resistance to his exercise of what should have been recognized as an obvious human right.
James Meredith sounds like an ornery and wonderful old gem of a human being.

Cost Efficiency of Finnish Municipalities 1994-2002. An Application of DEA and Tobit methods
AbstractCost efficiency of basic welfare service provision in 353 Finnish municipalities in 1994-2002 is investigated in an ongoing study. The municipal sector has a central role in the Finnish economy as a provider of welfare services. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a non-parametric linear programming method is employed, calculating a best practise production frontier for the decision making units, and comparing the various DMUs with this frontier. The inputs consisted of four to ten of the most important services in health, social and educational sector. As the combined output, total real production costs of these services were used. According to the results efficiency differences were considerable between the municipalities, and a small group of a peripheral municipalities scored clearly below the others. Annual changes in cost efficiency were estimated. At the second stage, differences in the DEA efficiency scores were explained by using Tobit panel models. It was found that larger population and peripheral geographic position tend to reduce efficiency of municipal service production, while higher education level of inhabitants increases it.

Silk - should we wear it or not?
I wish you only the best.
"we have the whole Universe and we must fit it into our words". I am reminded of that quote very often because obviously my words did not communicate what I intended them to say.
To answer your question, I most certainly did not mean that milking animals is more cruel than killing them - for food or for clothing. Not at all. It's just that any cruelty to living entities, even if it doesn't result in their death, is an incremental step to making it easier for us to take the next step. It de-sensitises us to their rights to live in peace. And yes, I agree with you that most of the leather people wear doesn't come from animals who died of natural causes. The leather one wears today may indeed come from the beautiful calf one was feeding yesterday.
Just as you are surprised that as a general policy in ISKCON we don't care where our leather comes from, I am saddened that we also show total disregard to the suffering of animals because it suits us to drink their milk and milk-related products. Cows are not merely property to use for our own gratification. Once the cow has weaned her young, she should be allowed to rest until the birth of her next calf. Instead, we keep her artificially tied to machines to produce milk for humans, or we milk her manually. Cows that don't produce high enough quality milk are killed. People will say that milking in and of itself isn't painful. I disagree. Extracting milk using unnatural means is painful. Ask anyone involved in the dairy industry what happens to cows if that milking is done late - the poor animals are in great agony.
Violence is part of life but we can work to minimise it.

All mammals, including cows and humans are treated badly if they are milked to feed animals other than their own young. The only purpose of mammalian milk is to feed the young of that mammal.
The production of milk is a miraculous thing which I've experienced for years while I fed my own children. It surprises me that we can be so concerned about silk worms dying and about wearing leather (which can come from animals who die of natural causes) when the same people gorge themselves on goat's milk, sheep's milk and cow's milk and other dairy products.
I feel that the idea of discussing how many devotees wear leather, is more about judging devotees - and harshly. We should be discussing the torture of our sister mammals by making them lactate well beyond the time their young are weaned.

Jennifer Brunner Responds to Kudos, Criticism Following State's Massive and Disturbing E-Voting Assessment
'The last thing I want for my state, is to be looked at as a pariah, like it was for 2004'
The BRAD BLOG spoke on Wednesday, by telephone, with Ohio's Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, for an exclusive in-depth interview following the release of her state's unprecedented "Evaluation & Validation of Election-Related Equipment, Standards & Testing" (EVEREST) review of e-voting systems.
While the bi-partisan, multi-teamed, scientific testing carried out, by a unique combination of both corporate and academic computer scientists and security experts, has won praise from most, if not all (see, predictably, here and here) quarters, the specific recommendations for changes to Ohio's voting system in its wake, as made by Brunner, have garnered a fair amount of criticism and concern from Election Integrity and Administration experts. Indeed, The BRAD BLOG has reported a number of our own concerns about those recommendations, as detailed last Friday upon the release of the report.
One thing is clear: the view from EVEREST is a mountain of "critical security failures" in Ohio's electronic voting systems --- the very same systems which will also be in use in other states and counties all across the U.S. in 2008. The question now is what can be done to mitigate the chances of yet another Ohio election meltdown next year, given the short time before before the state's primary in March, and the rapidly-approaching November general election when many eyes, no doubt, will again be on the Buckeye State.
In our interview --- the first of its kind to be published post-EVEREST --- we challenged the state's new Democratic Secretary, a former state judge, to answer to a number of growing concerns about her '08 recommendations, and whether she may be open to changing them in light of concerns. As well, we asked her about the criticism leveed against her by on-the-ground citizen Election Integrity advocates in the state, who have been critical of her for not having done enough to bring accountability following the J. Kenneth Blackwell regime, under whom Ohio's election system was so infamously gamed in 2004.
COMPLETE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5463
Some notable quotes from the interview...
Brunner on the "critical security failures" in Ohio's voting systems, revealed by the EVEREST study...
"To protect the systems against viruses that can be inserted into the system through something as simple as a PDA and a magnet and then the cards are passed from machine to machine almost like Typhoid Mary, I think that we have to take greater care."
"If there is malicious software, like a virus put into the system, it can not only affect the machines at the polling places, it can affect the tabulation that occurs at the server and it can also affect future elections if it's not detected."
On controversy surrounding her recommendations...
"These are going to be issues that are going to be controversial, people are going to have differences of opinion, and my attitude is to try to embrace what's out there, to look at it objectively, understanding that I don't have all the answers to everything."
BRUNNER: I'm not proposing a permanent solution. I'm proposing a way to deal with the limitations in the equipment that we have now.
BRAD BLOG: So you're open to changing those recommendations as you hear from those election integrity folks?
BRUNNER: Yes. I don't pretend to have all the answers.
On the issue of the infamous, and still unaccounted for, Warren County lockdown from 2004...
BRUNNER: It troubles me, Brad.
BRAD BLOG: It troubles you, too?
BRUNNER: It troubled me at the time and it, it, I can't…I can't find any justification for it.
On her outlook for 2008...
"The last thing I want for my state, is to be looked at as a pariah, like it was for 2004...We think that when this all comes together for 2008, that the country will see a difference."

Looking for a braided hairstyle that wraps around the head. These gorgeous braided looks start with a crown braid and continue around the back of the head. Check out these pictures of wrap around braids for some braided hairstyle inspiration! This gorgeous look works with inside out and French braiding techniques.
The look is easy to do yourself and looks great with a French or inside out braid. Pick one side of the forehead to start from, keeping in mind that the hairstyle will wrap around to other side. Begin braiding as usual with the French or Dutch technique.
Keep braiding around the head until you reach the back of your neck. Your hands will feel awkward at this point. Pause braiding, hold the braid in one hand, and switch hands. Continue braiding with your head bent down. Keep going until you run out of hair and tie the end of the braid. Tuck ends under the braid and secure with bobby pins.
Braided hairstyles look great worn loose and messy and especially with wavy hair. For a more casual look, or while you're practicing this wrap around braid, wear this hairstyle sexily tousled!
Rather than taking care to conceal ends, this braided updo lets curly hair loose. There are so many different ways to wear braided hairstyles! Check out these double braid and diagonal crown braid pictures for more braided updos.

LOCK PICK'S RANT SESSION:icontso1:I hardly ever bitch about anything, but today my mood is dialed down enough to do so. Earlier today I was browsing the Internet- typical of the today's routine- and had come across some phenomenal masterpieces as well as some potentially filled candidates- that always have at least one retarded remark, simply to either dig skin or because they have some stupid personal vendetta. 'Your work sucks lolol..' Or 'your anatomy is horribly off, it looks like a backwards cow...' Etc. the latter is hardly a critique and the former is clearly an insult, and by far the humorous part of the whole ordeal is nearly everyone who posts such a comment has a blank page, or is narrowly skilled in comparison.There are plenty of people I may not care for, but it's not worth my effort to go out of my way to argue a point, but even so, I can still respect them as a skilled or aspiring artist.Art is creative, inspiring and supposed to be fun. Within an art community you would feel you'd be right a

Why I Draw Women OftenI recently got a message, and I will slightly reword it so as not to cause profane friction, nor will I state who it came from, but it read like this: "Why is everything you post regarding a woman? I think it's very sexist when the only thing you can draw are breasts and buttocks like it's the only thing in the world."Okay, so by now, if you haven't been watching me for a good minute, you know that I really like to draw women, and I like portraying the female form, usually and often in a tasteful manner. I could hypothetically end that question there and just answer "I wasn't aware everything in my gallery was a woman or had breasts and a butt" and then post a picture or two of Rai Rivet... But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to explain my stance on drawing the female form and my adoration for it.Disclaimer: None of these viewpoin

Ramblings about 'internet fame'A lot of stuff has happened lately in life lately, and is has made me think about things, and about my perspective on it. One of those things, is the internet.As some of you know, I'm a huge nerd. While as kid, I didn't had a computer at home, and I hated those damn machines because I wasn't able to work with them at all (so much fail T__T), I soon caught up when I got my first computer at age 14. And while most of my family expected me to end up as a hopeless internet addict, I soon started to learn myself how to program. The rest is history. With my 26th birthday, I also celebrated being a webprogrammer for 10 years already. Oh yeah, I'm getting old for sure.The recent chain of events have caused me to think about the internet and it's role in life, however. When I first started out with art, I was only a little girl. Me, and both of my younger sisters, were all very creative. And we spend almost all of our time drawing at the kitchen table, while discussing about the characters we
Agree to Disagree:icontso1: So, Sticky and I were talking about something and I did nothing but agree with her, and then it got to a point that I wasn't listening and doing the whole 'mhm... mhm...' thing. She said, "You're not supposed to agree!" And I then said, "Okay."Kind of weird... So. If I agree to disagree, does that put me in disagreement, or am I in agreement with her? ._.FFFFFQQQQQQ LANGUAGE!Okay, back to commissions.

NEW BEDFORD — Southcoast Hospitals Group is receiving nearly $1.2 million for its three hospitals in the first $10 million round of state Health Policy Commission awards to 28 community hospitals.
The funds, which range from $65,000 to $500,000 per organization, come from HPC's Community Hospital Acceleration, Revitalization, and Transformation Investment Program, established by the state's health care cost containment law, Chapter 224 of the Acts of 2012.
Money stems from one-time assessments on certain providers and insurers. Acute care hospitals with more than $1 billion in total net assets and less than 50 percent revenue from public payers were subject to the assessment.
Of the total Southcoast funds:
This round of CHART funding is from a $119.08 million allocation to HPC from assessments to reduce health care costs by investing in community providers. An additional $57 million is being allocated to prevent chronic conditions and promote healthy behaviors through the Prevention and Wellness Trust Fund. A third $28.5 million allocation is for the e-Health Institute Fund to enhance care coordination through a secure, interoperable health information exchange.

NEW YORK -- Reliever Joba Chamberlain and the New York Yankees have agreed to a one-year contract worth $1,875,000, avoiding salary arbitration.
Chamberlain returned Aug. 1 after being sidelined for 14 months by elbow and ankle injuries. The 27-year-old right-hander went 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA in 22 games, striking out 22 in 20 2-3 innings.
His deal, which is not guaranteed, gives Chamberlain a raise of $200,000 and contains performance bonuses for games finished.
Two Yankees remain in arbitration: right-hander David Robertson and left-hander Boone Logan.
New York's projected payroll is at about $200 million for 16 players, including $8.5 million the Yankees are paying Pittsburgh as part of last year's trade that sent A.J. Burnett to the Pirates.
