This article out of Maine has stirred up a fury.
It appears that the Department of Health and Human Services is short of money, so they will be cutting funds to foster parents. Currently foster parents receive a maximum of $70 per day and that will be cut to $52 a day. I would be thrilled to be receiving either $52 a day or $70 a day. We fall far short of that.
As usual, when it comes to paying foster parents to care for kids people fall into one camp or the other. Either foster parents are extremely over paid or should be hailed as saints. I think we fall somewhere in between.
One of the people who commented on the article is a foster parent. His description of foster parenting was wonderful. It should be featured in one of those "priceless" commercials.
Want a "job" in foster care???
Here you go:
4-6 month interview to include:
-40+ hr of classroom training
-25 page questionnaire w/ 20-25 questions/pg to be answered in paragraph form
-submit to a 40 hr interview and asked all the same questions in more detail(this includes details from birth to now and pretty explicit)
-read and sign and approve a written document of all these details (if this got into the wrong hands your identity is GONE)
-submit to a home inspection by the state fire marshal & make any/all improvements ie: replace windows, add hardwired smoke detectors, replace stair and porch railings, etc
Then if approved, maintain 24-36 credit hrs of training every 2 years
Can't you just see that ad now? How many people do you think would sign up?
What if we did the "priceless" ad and it went something like this:
New smoke alarms in all rooms in your house: $150
Door alarms, new locks and security system: $500
Hours lost from work for home study: $750
Helping a child learn how to trust: PRICELESS
Would that generate more interest from potential foster parents?
Then there's the other side of the coin with this comment:
If they choose not to then I think we know why they do it in the first place. If a foster parent truly loves what they're doing to help an unfortunate child then they'll make the $17 a day, $119 a week, $6188 a year work as best they can.
Foster parents are paid just on what it costs to physically raise the child. We are paid because essentially this is our job. Most people don't want our job. I love my kids dearly, but every penny counts most days. Making the money work the best you can can be a big deal to many families.
Before I get on a rant and get totally off topic here, this will have an effect on adoptive parents as well. Adoption subsidies are usually paid based on the rate the foster parent was receiving while the child was in foster care. Yes, it can be negotiated, but the chances of you receiving more than a foster parent is pretty slim. If you are adopting a high needs child, you could be greatly impacted by these cuts.
Missouri tried to cut funds to adoptive parents last year, and now this cut from Maine. Is this going to become a trend in foster care and adoption? I certainly hope not. There is already a shortage of foster parents. We can't afford to lose anymore.

Transatlantic firms fare best at retention, research shows
Readers' comments (3)
Difficult to know what to make of this, particularly in view of the review period which saw substantial lay-offs because of the GFC. A couple of thoughts, though:
a) only surprised that the figure for in-house movers is not higher - they often come from cozy jobs with external firms snuggling up to them and find it a shock in private practice when they have to justify their existence and are no longer treated as people to be courted;
b) the old, old problem of lateral hires - 1 in 3 failure rate is an expensive one in terms of time, money and disruption.
Fascinating stuff, with so much to mull over. A few thoughts spring immediately to mind:
I have seen law firms recruit at Partner level and there may be 5, 6 , 7 or more interviews with literally dozens of interviewers involved, but when that process is analysed it was probably a case that the same interview is simply repeated 5,6 or 7 times and there was little variety or robustness to the process. The decision to hire was made by the key stake holders in the first two interviews and thereafter it was a case of the potential recruit simply avoiding doing anything wrong to ensure consensus was gained. In short, firms may benefit from designing more robust and varied selection processes.
It's impossible to tell from the data, but it would be interesting to know if there are differences in the success of lateral hires made on a proactive basis (i.e. law firm advertises or conducts a search for a lateral) and those made on a reactive basis (i.e. firm is approached by a Partner who is looking for a move). In the former instance the firm's desperation may be higher and so risks are taken; in the latter the candidate might just be one of those people who moves every two to four years, sometimes because they are just not that good.
I'd be interested to see how these success rates compare to similar fields such as accountancy or investment banking. In comparison the story might be "Two thirds of lateral hires work!" (though I doubt that would be the case!). Similarly, perhaps firms accept - albeit grudgingly - that 1 in 3 fail and account for that.
These figures have to be set against the biggest economic meltdown since 1929. These are not ordinary times.
Perhaps recruiters need to share more of the risk and move to a fee system which sees more of the fee being paid in line with the recruit's performance and tenure.
Very interesting thoughts. I entirely agree on the lack of rigour - extending sometimes to basic information-sharing between the groups of interviewing partners - in the hiring process. Firms also need to sharpen up the business planning process; there is far too much 'wing and a prayer' going on still.
Your point on search vs approached is very well-taken. My suspicion, backed up by some experience, is that search exercises often lead to a 'hire anyone' approach, where money and time have been spent and no-one wants to simply abort, instead remodelling the opportunity to suit the available candidate(s) rather than the true business need. I do think where partners have approached the firms themselves, the business plan is often scrutinised more rigorously, but these hires are usually opportunistic to some degree, so strategy ends up being shaped, again, by the available resource rather than client need and market opportunity.

"Conservatism Is Too Big For Its Own Good": The Right No Longer Understands The Difference Between The Movement And The Party
There's a moment every year at the Conservative Political Action Conference when some eminence from the 1970s talks about the good old days at CPAC, hearkening back to the time when Ronald Reagan would show up and speak to a a small room of only about 500 activists. Things have changed. Now there are about 500 journalists who get registered to report on CPAC, which has bloated to some 10,000 participants in the fat years.
Maybe conservatism is just too big for its own good.
The conservative movement has grown large because it aspired to be something greater than a part of the Republican coalition. It wanted to become the entirety of the GOP. Instead of splitting into different interest groups, the conservative movement devises ad-hoc philosophies to integrate single-issue advocates into a larger coalition. You're not just for low taxes or against abortion, you're a conservative!
In this sense, the conservative movement has become a kind of parallel institution that drains resources, attention, talent, and energy from the GOP's own electoral and governing efforts. Conservative Inc. is an enterprise with enough resources and power to be an attractive alternative to America's official institutions of electoral power.
If you are a Republican politician and don't have the wherewithal to become president of the United States, perhaps you have enough talent to become president of Conservatism. It's an unofficial position, but has plenty of benefits. You won't have the psychic pleasures of representing the electoral will of the American public, but you also won't be burdened by any real responsibilities either.
Naturally, the idea of being a player without responsibility provides more attractions for charlatans, rabble-rousers, and opportunists.
Shades of this phenomena began in the 1990s presidential primaries. Whereas Pat Buchanan picked a principled fight with his party over issues like trade and foreign policy, candidates like Alan Keyes ran less for president than for publicity: mailing lists filled out, speaking fees increased, and radio shows picked up on more networks.
By the 2012 Republican primaries, it was obvious that there were in fact two competitions happening on the same debate stages. Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, and even Newt Gingrich were not running for president in the same way that Mitt Romney and Rick Perry were.
This seems not to happen in the Democratic primaries. Sure, 2004 saw Howard Dean emerge as the leader of "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party." But there is no parallel universe called Liberalism where he and Mike Gravel could become well-paid industries unto themselves as think leaders, book hawkers, and distinguished dinner guests. Dean became chairman of the Democratic National Committee, a political job with actual responsibilities and geared toward winning elections, not just flame wars.
The composition of the Democratic coalition seems stronger precisely because it is more splintered and more issue driven. No one is afraid that Planned Parenthood or the teachers' unions are going to impose a broad-ranging ideological revolution on the nation. The public assumes that they will simply lobby for their particular, limited interests and that the party to which they belong will have a moderating effect on them.
But the conservative movement really is large enough to exert a destabilizing gravitational force on the entire political culture. Its opponents fear that its size and strength make the GOP immoderate. And they may be right.
In any GOP presidential primary, the candidates who are running to be unofficial head of the conservative movement can do a great deal of damage to the GOP's eventual nominee. They can pressure the eventual candidate to over-commit to the right in the primary race, essentially handing them more baggage to carry in the general election. Or they can cripple the eventual primary winner by highlighting the nominee's deviations from the movement, dispiriting the GOP's base of voters.
When the attendees of CPAC gather in Washington early next month and conduct their presidential straw poll with the self importance of a warning shot, it might profit them to consider whether they intend to elect a new president of their ideological ghetto or one for their nation.

"GOP Post Campaign Buckraking": When Politicians Embrace The Power Of Spam
As a notable Republican presidential candidate, Herman Cain was able to pull together an email list of several hundred thousand people. His campaign obviously didn't turn out well, but Cain eventually created an online media venture called Best of Cain, which continues to send out messages to former supporters on a wide range of topics.
How wide a range? Those on Cain's mailing list recently received an alert with an all-caps subject line about a "breakthrough remedy" for erectile dysfunction. It was, of course, an ad – and a rather clumsy one at that. Cain supporters were told they were at risk of losing their loved one unless they got their "manhood mojo back."
For many of us, it would appear as if Herman Cain has begun spamming Americans who supported his presidential campaign. But as Ben Adler reports in a fascinating piece, Cain and other Republicans believe they've come up with a lucrative business plan.
While [Cain] has been particularly unabashed in his embrace of the practice, he is not the only past presidential candidate hawking sketchy products. Newt Gingrich now pings the e-mail subscribers to his Gingrich Productions with messages from an investment firm formed by a conspiracy theorist successfully sued for fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mike Huckabee uses his own production company's list to blast out links to heart-disease fixes and can't-miss annuities.
The joke about Cain and Gingrich during the 2012 campaign was that they weren't at all serious about their pursuits of the presidency but instead just lining up future paydays. After Huckabee, who'd parlayed a strong showing in 2008 into publishing deals and his own Fox News show, declined to run again, some wags snickered that his new livelihood must have been too hard to give up. Now all three seem to be proving the cynics right…. Collectively, Cain, Gingrich, and Huckabee are pioneering a new, more direct method for post-campaign buckraking. All it requires is some digitally savvy accomplices – and a total immunity to shame.
There's a reason I love this Chris Hayes comment from a while back: "Much of movement conservatism is a con and the base are the marks."
One of the striking things about the ventures launched by Cain, Gingrich, and Huckabee is the odd incentive dynamic they've helped create: political activities that used to be based on partisanship, ideology, and/or ego are now profit-making opportunities.
A Republican may not have any interest in actually becoming president, but he or she now knows that a presidential campaign can create a lucrative mailing list. So why not run anyway for the sake of future paychecks?
It's not just elections, either. Last summer, for example, as conservatives prepared for their government shutdown, Brian Walsh, a former spokesperson for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said, "[T]his is about political cash, not political principle." Far-right groups were getting the base riled up, collecting contributions and email addresses, and weren't especially concerned with the policy outcome.
More recently, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) made the rounds on conservative media, talking up a possible lawsuit he might file against the NSA. In practice, the senator was encouraging interested Americans to visit his campaign website, submit their contact information, and chip in a donation while they were there. (The lawsuit he vowed to file hasn't materialized.)
At the intersection of politics and profit is a Republican machine in search of email addresses, clicks, and cash. It's not that conservative causes are irrelevant; it's just that they're hardly the only motivation for GOP players as interested in list-building as coalition-building.

"Right Decision, Wrong Reason": Let There Be No Cheers For Rob Portman
Let there be no cheers for Rob Portman.
The Ohio senator is, pardon the tautology, a conservative Republican and last week, he did something conservative Republicans do not do. He came out for same-sex marriage. This is a man whose anti-gay bona fides were so pronounced that his 2011 selection as commencement speaker at the University of Michigan law school prompted an uproar among the graduates, many of whom signed a letter protesting his appearance as an insult to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students.
Yet, there he was, telling CNN he's had "a change of heart." And what prompted this? Well, as it turns out, the senator made his U-turn because of Will.
That would be Will Portman, 21, who came out to his parents two years ago. His son, the senator said, explained to them that his sexuality "was not a choice and that that's just part of who he is." As a result, said Portman, "I've come to the conclusion that for me, personally, I think this is something that we should allow people to do, to get married, and to have the joy and stability of marriage that I've had for over 26 years."
It was, make no mistake, an act of paternal love and empathy and deserves to be celebrated on that basis. He did the only thing a good father could have done. And yet, if Portman's change of mind warms the heart, it also, paradoxically, illustrates the moral cowardice so often found at the heart of social conservatism.
Look, the senator's son is doubtless a fine and admirable young man. But with all due respect to his son, to heck with his son. This is not about Will Portman. It's far bigger than that.
So one can't help but be frustrated and vexed by the senator's inability to "get it" until "it" included his son. Will explained to him that his sexuality "was not a choice"? Lovely. But was the senator not listening when all those other gay men and lesbians tried to tell him the exact same thing?
Apparently not. Like Dick Cheney, father of a lesbian daughter, Portman changed his view because the issue became personal. Which suggests a glaring lack of the courage and vision needed to put oneself into someone else's shoes, imagine one's way inside someone else's life. These are capabilities that often seem to elude social conservatives.
Small wonder: If you allow yourself to see the world from someone else's vantage point, there is a chance it will change your own. Can't have that.
So instead we have this. And by extension of the "logic": Here, we must wait on Herman Cain to adopt a Mexican child before he sees how offensive it is to suggest electrocuting Mexicans at the border. And if Michele Bachmann would only have an affair with a Muslim, she might stop seeing terrorists on every street corner.
Tellingly, Portman's change of heart elicited mainly an embarrassed silence from his ideological soulmates who, 10 years ago, would have been on him like paparazzi on a Kardashian. But then, 10 years ago, gay rights was still an open question. Ten years later, that question is closing with startling speed, as in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that finds support for same-sex marriage at a record high. Change is coming, gathering momentum like an avalanche.
And once again, conservatives will stand rebuked by history, be left on the platform by progress. Or else, split the difference, do the right thing for the wrong reasons like Rob Portman.
No, you cannot condemn a man for loving his child.
But true compassion and leadership require the ability to look beyond the narrow confines of one's own life, to project into someone else's situation and to want for them what you'd want for your own. Portman's inability to do that created hardship for an untold number of gay men and lesbians.
Each of them was also someone's child.

The Missing "Leveling Experience": Dull Mitt Romney Needs A "Groping" Scandal
Republican front-runner Mitt Romney is so dull that he could benefit from an eye-popping scandal because it would help tear down his plastic image and make him look more normal, according to national pollster John Zogby.
"This is the one instance where a groping incident could help a candidate," said Zogby, in a reference to the scandal that torpedoed former GOP candidate Herman Cain's campaign.
He said it could be the missing "leveling experience" for Romney that would make him look more human. Zogby explained that many stiff, rich men have run for office and won, but they typically had a humbling moment that made them more likeable. He gave former President George W. Bush's alcoholism as an example of that leveling experience.
"His problem is an authenticity problem," said Zogby of Romney, who today released his New Hampshire tracking poll that has Romney far in front. "He's the kid who never colored outside the lines," said the pollster.
Zogby said Romney needs to find a way to connect with an unethusiastic party that wants to vote with its brain and heart. But, he warned, he shouldn't try to do that with a policy speech or new position. "Likability," he said, "is a lot more than an issue."
He echoed charges from competing campaigns and President Obama's advisor David Axelrod that Romney's 25 percent finish in the Iowa caucuses was an example of how he's failed to expand his personal base of voters from the amount he received in the 2008 caucuses.
Romney, Zogby said, spent "a lot of time, money and energy to get where he was already."

New Year's Resolutions: New Rules For The New Year
NEW YEAR'S resolutions are the original New Rules. Except that resolutions are usually self-oriented: I am going to lose weight this year. My New Year's resolution, by the way, is to do the ones from '75; I made a lot of good ones that year. I was 19, and thought I could polish them off by age 20. Alas, I'm a little behind.
Also, New Rules are bigger, broader and grander. I don't tell you what I'm going to eat; I tell you how the world should work. Here's what 2011 prompts me to decree for 2012:
New Rule Now that we have no money, and all our soldiers have come home from Iraq and they've all got experience building infrastructure, and no jobs … we must immediately solve all of our problems by declaring war on the United States.
New Rule If you were a Republican in 2011, and you liked Donald Trump, and then you liked Michele Bachmann, and then you liked Rick Perry, and then you liked Herman Cain, and then you liked Newt Gingrich … you can still hate Mitt Romney, but you can't say it's because he's always changing his mind.
New Rule Starting next year, any politician caught in a scandal can't go before the press, offer a lame excuse and then say, "Period. End of Story." Here's how you indicate a "period" and the end of a story: shut up.
New Rule The press must stop saying that each debate is "make or break" for Rick Perry and call them what they really are: "break."
New Rule You can't be against same-sex marriage and for Newt Gingrich. No man has ever loved another man as much as Newt Gingrich loves Newt Gingrich.
New Rule Internet headlines have to be more like newspaper headlines. That means they have to tell me something instead of just tricking me into clicking on them. If you write the headline, "She Wore That?" you have to go to your journalism school and give your degree back.
New Rule Let's stop scheduling the presidential election in the same year as the Summer Olympics. I get so exhausted watching those robotic, emotionally stunted, artificial-looking creatures with no real lives striving to do the one thing they're trained to do that I barely have energy left to watch the Olympics.
New Rule No more holiday-themed movies with a cast of thousands unless at least half of them get killed by a natural disaster. Fair's fair — if I have to watch Katherine Heigl and Zac Efron as singles who can't find love, I also get to see them swallowed up by the earth.
New Rule Jon Huntsman must get a sex change. The only way he's going to get any press coverage is by turning into a white woman and disappearing.
New Rule Starting this year, every appliance doesn't need a clock on it. My stove, my dishwasher, my microwave, my VCR — all have clocks on them. If I really cared that much about what time it was (or what year it was), would I still have a VCR?

Today is the first day of Lent, a Christian remembrance of sacrifice, where they give something up for a 40-day period. It happens to come along just as I was hoping to recommit myself to my New Year's resolution 1: words, words, words! So I've decided that for Lent I'm giving up excuses.
Take that, lethargy!
It's been a weird time over the last few weeks, and I've had a crazy hard time committing myself to put in just a little bit of time every day. Of course the worst thing about that is how it makes you look back regretfully, instead of forward, with hope. And that's pretty dumb, since I can't change my past lazy self. In fact it's quite possible I just needed that time – a fallow period.
Either way, the brief glimpses of sun we've had lately – fleeting promises of a spring that is basically never going to happen, making daylight savings this weekend nothing but a cruel joke – have got me feeling more optimistic. Sun! Rebirth! Growth! Words!
And it just so happens this recommitment decision comes with a perk: a trip to the Paper Source! Total coincidence. Swears. Anyway, I bought a 2014 calendar for 50% off (as I'd intended to do before January but got too lazy … oh well! Discount!) and some heart stickers, and I'm going to try the method Jessica Spotswood has been raving about for a long time.
On each day I get a sticker for every 1,000 words I write. (And, per my resolution, words for this here blog post count. Woohoo!)
How about you? How are you doing on your resolutions? Have you tried the sticker method? Do you know anywhere I can get amazing stickers??
- Oh god how ridiculous to link to two posts ago. Oy. Post more, Sarah! ↩

Glenn Greenwald lauds bravery of RT's Abby Martin, then NY Times outs her as 9/11 Truther
Let's follow the bouncing ball on this one as it takes some unpredictable rebounds.
On Friday, PandoDaily's Mark Ames revealed that Pierre Omidyar, the billionaire funding Glenn Greenwald's new journalistic effort, First Look, had helped fund efforts to bolster the opposition groups in Ukraine responsible for ousting President Viktor Yanukovych. Ames wondered about Greenwald and documentarian Laura Poitras, two people with access to the full cache of Snowden documents, working for a billionaire who was using his money to affect global politics.
On Saturday, Greenwald fired back, ridiculing Ames for suggesting that Greenwald wouldn't act completely independently as a journalist, regardless of who was writing his paychecks. In fact, he said, he didn't even particularly care about Omidyar's political activities: "Prior to creating The Intercept with Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill, I did not research Omidyar's political views or donations."
On Monday, PandoDaily's Paul Carr pointed out that in 2007, Greenwald had a very different attitude about the political ambitions of media owners when he lambasted The Politico because its president and CEO was a longtime Reaganite. Wrote Greenwald then: "There is nothing wrong per se with hard-core political operatives running a news organization. Long-time Republican strategist Roger Ailes oversees Fox News, of course. But it seems rather self-evident that a news organization run by someone with such clear-cut political biases ought to have a hard time holding itself out as some sort of politically unbiased source of news." (Emphasis ours.)
Then, Tuesday morning, Greenwald seemed to be addressing this squabble when he celebrated RT anchor Abby Martin for her views on Putin's invasion of Crimea.
Bill Moyers - The Deep State Hiding in Plain Sight - February 21, 2014
The Deep State Hiding in Plain Sight -February 21, 2014
Everyone knows about the military-industrial complex, which, in his farewell address, President Eisenhower warned had the potential to "endanger our liberties or democratic process" but have you heard of the "Deep State?"
Mike Lofgren, a former GOP congressional staff member with the powerful House and Senate Budget Committees, joins Bill to talk about what he calls the Deep State, a hybrid of corporate America and the national security state, which is "out of control" and "unconstrained." In it, Lofgren says, elected and unelected figures collude to protect and serve powerful vested interests. "It is … the red thread that runs through the history of the last three decades. It is how we had deregulation, financialization of the economy, the Wall Street bust, the erosion or our civil liberties and perpetual war," Lofgren tells Bill.
The U.S. and Its Allies Had Contact with Bin Laden and the 9/11 Hijackers Many Times Before 9/11
Including a Direct Contact with Bin Laden by an FBI Resource In 1993
The report that the FBI had a human resource in direct contact with Bin Laden in 1993 – and covered it up and hid it from the 9/11 Commission and Congress – is newsworthy. See Washington Times' report and NBC News coverage.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg:
- Top American officials admit that the U.S. armed and supported Bin Laden and the other Mujahadin – which later morphed into Al Qaeda – in the 1970s, in order to fight the Soviets
- The mainstream French paper Le Figaro alleged that the CIA met with Bin Laden himself 2 months before 9/11
- An FBI informant hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000. Specifically, the Congressional Joint Inquiry discovered that an FBI informant had hosted and even rented a room to two hijackers in 2000. And see this Newsweek article and this New York Times report
- According to the large French newspaper Le Monde, the intelligence services of America's close ally France and of other governments had infiltrated the highest levels of Al-Qaeda's camps, and actually listened to the hijackers' debates about which airlines' planes should be hijacked, and allied intelligence services also intercepted phone conversations between Al-Qaeda members regarding the attacks
- According to reports from Bloomberg, an ABC News investigative reporter and others, one of the main trainers of Bin Laden and Al Qaeda worked at various times for the CIA, FBI and Green Berets

On behalf of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, esteemed human rights attorney William F. Pepper has written to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) demanding that the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST," a non-regulatory agency within the Commerce Department), for which OIG has oversight responsibility, "be directed to produce a corrected analysis and report on the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7."
The demand was triggered by the discovery that the official steel fabrication drawings of Building 7's construction, released in response to a FOIA request, reveal critical structural features that were inexplicably missing from consideration in the NIST report on the collapse of Building 7. Specifically, as explained in the recent article "MaladmiNISTration" by David Cole, upon close examination of the depiction, in Frankel shop drawing #9114, of the connection between Column 79 and the adjacent girder–a connection that NIST claimed had failed–one can see another steel element in the drawing that NIST had never mentioned, i.e. "stiffener plates," that were specified at the end of the girder and welded in place to both sides of the web and to the bottom flange.

Kevin Ryan: Another Nineteen - Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects
Kevin Ryan Interview
Interview published on February 15, 2014
MP3 and Link to Show Notes: http://themindrenewed.com/interviews/2014/429-int-42
Who was responsible for the crimes of 9/11? Osama bin Laden and nineteen, young Islamic terrorists? Or is there evidence pointing towards other suspects who should be investigated? To discuss this question, we are joined by Kevin Ryan, author of the book Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects, and co-editor of the Journal of 9/11 Studies.
Drawing upon a decade of investigation, Kevin Ryan traces an intricate web of interconnections between key individuals, institutions and businesses, and reveals an alternative set of 9/11 suspects, each with the "means, motive and opportunity" possibly to have played their part in the crimes of 9/11.
Are Millions of Business People At Risk of Dying In Collapsing Buildings?
This is one in a series of safety-related public service announcements.
Death Traps?
Millions of people work in or visit high-rise buildings … assuming the buildings were more or less safe.
But it turns out that there is a severe, lethal risk of sudden collapse in even the best-made skyscrapers in America, Britain, Germany, Japan and other nations worldwide.
A New Understanding
Before 9/11, no modern steel-frame high-rise building had ever collapsed due to fire.
9/11 radically changed our understanding of architecture and engineering …
Specifically, 3 steel-frame buildings collapsed on that day. That includes one that was never hit by a plane, and had only small, isolated office fires prior to its collapse.
This was unexpected, as much hotter, longer-lasting fires have never before brought down a modern steel-frame office building. For example, the 2005 Madrid skyscraper fire "reached 800 degrees Celsius (1,472 F), said Javier Sanz, head of Madrid firefighter" and lasted some 20 hours without collapsing.
In other words, officials who write building codes, architects and structural engineers had never before worried about small office fires causing office buildings from collapsing.

You've asked for NIST accountability - Here is your chance
Did you know 2013 was a breakthrough year in our efforts to hold NIST accountable?
For years we have known that Building 7 came down in free-fall and that the NIST report failed to explain why. We knew that NIST's collapse model looked nothing like the actual collapse, and that NIST's "probable collapse sequence" was anything but probable.
But in 2013, NIST's explanation went from highly improbable to absolutely impossible, thanks to the discovery that NIST deliberately omitted critical structural features from its model – features that make the supposed collapse initiation impossible. With this new discovery, we have the evidence to prove definitively that Building 7 could not have collapsed as NIST says it did.

Getting Real About Richard Clarke
President Obama's 2013 advisory panel on NSA spying included some interesting people considering that the justification for such crimes against democracy always go back to 9/11. One member was Cass Sunstein, who had previously advised the president to "cognitively infiltrate" citizen groups that sought the truth about 9/11. Another panel member was Richard Clarke, the former "counterterrorism czar," whose opinions on the subject continue to be widely publicized despite suspicions that Clarke might have been in league with the 9/11 terrorists.
In one of several interviews with TV host Bill Maher, a supporter of NSA spying, Clarke suggested that Osama bin Laden was never worried about being caught before he was killed because he "thought he'd get tipped." Clarke meant that Bin Laden was helped by retired intelligence officials and would be tipped off to any operation. In the same interview, Clarke told Maher that Afghanis were pathetic and that Pakistanis were "pathological liars."
However, there are good reasons to believe that it is Clarke who is a pathological liar. Those reasons include that it was Clarke who tipped off Bin Laden's friends in the years before 911, effectively preventing the capture or killing of that alleged terrorist mastermind. Clarke later promoted lies about a man called Abu Zubaydah, whose torture testimony is behind much of the 9/11 Commission Report.
Seahawks Coach Peppered 4-Star General With 9/11 'Conspiracy' Questions
Originally posted on 7/22/2013
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Seattle head coach Pete Carroll hosted a retired four-star general at the Seahawks facility last spring and blitzed him with questions about whether the 9/11 attacks "had been planned or faked" by the government, according to Deadspin.com.
Decorated general Peter Chiarelli, who had just called it a career, was discussing football and brain injuries with Carroll before the conversation took a turn, Deadspin reported.
"Every 9/11 conspiracy theory you can think of, Pete asked about," former NFL linebacker Riki Ellison told Deadspin.
Ellison said Carroll "didn't stop at 9/11—he had lots of questions about the role of the military today."

Dear Supporters,
The New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) is excited to announce the launch of the "High-rise Safety Initiative," a new ballot initiative that will amend the New York City Charter to require the NYC Department of Buildings to investigate all high-rise building collapses occurring in New York City on or after September 11, 2001, except the collapse of WTC 1 and 2. The Initiative will apply to the collapse of WTC 7 on September 11, 2001, as well as any high-rise collapse that occurs in the future.
As many of you know, the City of New York blocked NYC CAN's 2009 ballot initiative from going before the voters and becoming law. Five years later, we are sponsoring a new ballot initiative that has been carefully crafted to withstand any legal challenge the City might bring.
We invite you to read the petition.
The Road to the Ballot
American Anthrax: A Media Roots Film Production
Media Roots presents American Anthrax, a documentary comprised of news footage that establishes, by history's own narration, how everything you've been told about the Anthrax Attacks is a lie. Conceptualized, edited and produced by Robbie Martin, co-host of Media Roots Radio.
September 11, 2001, shook the United States to the core, a country that had been nearly untouchable since its democratic inception. However, immediately following this horrific tragedy, another equally as impactful 'terrorist attack' occurred when weaponized anthrax was sent to multiple Congressman and journalists through the U.S. Postal Service. The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were both one-time events that happened in two prominent cities. Unlike 9/11, the Anthrax Attacks localized terrorism and spread fear to every corner of American life, where the simple act of getting your mail could prove to be fatal. Five people died as a result of breathing in the deadly anthrax spores, including postal workers and one NY Post reporter. Countless others were infected.
Initial response from DoC Inspector General to William Pepper letter concerning NIST WTC 7 report structural feature omissions
Attached is the initial response received on Jan. 14, 2014 from the U.S. Department of Commerce Inspector General's office regarding the complaint letter sent by attorney Dr. William Pepper on Dec. 12, 2013. The Inspector General has sent the information provided in the Pepper letter to NIST management for a response.
Individual citizens are encouraged to write or call the DoC Inspector General's office themselves to let them know you are interested in this issue and to insist that the Inspector General ensure that the NIST be open and transparent here, and to also ensure that there is no conflict of interest. Anyone involved in the original report, which is now under scrutiny with allegations of impropriety, should be precluded from the response activity.

Targeting the President: Evidence of U.S. Government Training Exercises on 9/11
A significant number of apparent terrorist incidents occurred on September 11, 2001, in which President Bush or locations associated with him, like the White House and Camp David, seemed to be the target. And yet for all these incidents, the apparent threat was subsequently claimed to be unfounded, perhaps having come about due to a misunderstanding. A possibility that has remained unexamined, however, is that the incidents were in fact scenarios in training exercises taking place that day.
It seems reasonable to assume that if the incidents were indeed exercise scenarios, the Secret Service, as the agency responsible for protecting the president and the White House, would have been participating in them. Alarmingly, though, the times at which some of the incidents occurred indicates that if they were scenarios in training exercises, these exercises were not canceled in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but instead continued until well after the real-world crisis ended. If the Secret Service was indeed involved in exercises at the time of the 9/11 attacks, then, we surely need to consider what effect these exercises had on the agency's ability to respond to the attacks.
Below are descriptions of eight apparent terrorist incidents that occurred around the time of the 9/11 attacks, in which the president or a location associated with the president appeared to be the target. The first two incidents involved the president himself seeming to be the terrorists' target; the next three involved Air Force One, the president's plane, being the apparent target; and the final incidents involved the places where President Bush lived, such as the White House, being the apparent target.
Melanie Sloan, Executive Director of C.R.E.W., agrees to review the evidence
On January 21, 2014, Melanie Sloan, Executive Director of the Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington (CREW) was a guest on C-SPAN's Washington Journal:
Melanie Sloan is the Executive Director of Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington, and said she would look into a callers claim regarding the collapse of WTC Building 7 while on C-SPAN Tuesday morning.
Melanie Sloan serves as CREW's Executive Director and is a nationally recognized expert on congressional ethics. Prior to starting CREW, she served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia where, from 1998-2003, she successfully tried cases before dozens of judges and juries.

Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) informed on C-SPAN about WTC7 omissions
Or fast forward to 41:01 in this video:
Transcript of the exchange:
"Congress's refusal to investigate the evidence that Building 7 was brought down in a controlled demolition on 9/11 is based on its blind trust in NIST's WTC 7 report, which has now been found to contain incorrect data about the building design that, when corrected, renders NIST's fire collapse conclusion impossible. As appropriations committee member would you be willing to review the errors in NIST's report and help in seeking accountability from NIST for its errors considering that NIST has spent over 20 million dollars of taxpayers money to produce this erroneous report? "
Representative Marcy Kaptur:
"I would be more than happy to receive information from you sir and turn it over to those who have that particular agency under their jurisdiction. I have seen some of the callers who have called into programs and I think you're getting your message through, and as I said earlier, 'Truth will out'...sometime the government doesn't have all the facts, or there is an effort in some matters to not reveal the facts, for whatever reason, but ultimately if the American people are persistent the truth will be revealed. So you certainly can send me material and I will discuss it with those who are in charge of funding those agencies."

Kelly Killoren Bensimon Can Make You HOT!: Mother and writer on her new "Supermodel Diet" book
Model, mother, writer and realty tv show star Kelly Killoren Bensimon on learning to eat healthy
Aside from running around the city (in more ways than one), what is perhaps most exciting in Kelly Killoren Bensimon's life right now is her latest publishing venture. She has just released her fourth book, I Can Make You HOT!: The Supermodel Diet (St. Martin's)—and is donating a portion of the proceeds to Generosity Water.
(This piece is excerpted from the New York Family Magazine June cover story. To read the full piece, and more from New York Family, click here.)
In a nutshell, the book is an easy-to-navigate guide to nutrition and wellness, with recipes and hot tips by which Bensimon lives her life. The title acronym, Healthy Options Today, is meant to inspire readers to make the best choices for themselves—whether it's deciding on a dish to make for lunch or picking out what to wear to feel confident.
"Anyone can look like [this], you just have to work at it," she says, referring to her fit-as-a-fiddle figure.
For Bensimon, what originally started out as an idea for a cookbook evolved into something much greater. And although it took her only a month to write the book, the lessons found within its pages were learned over time.
"When you meet people who are living on $39 a week for food, you have a totally different perspective on making healthy choices," she says, thinking of her charity work with the Food Bank.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Bensimon details some of the extreme measures that supermodels go to in order to stay thin—and some of the methods she tried during her early days in front of the camera. As a former pro model, she's learned a lot about health and nutrition.
"I was a healthy American girl from Rockford, Illinois, and when I came to New York they were always telling me to lose weight—always telling me to lose ten pounds," Bensimon remembers.
Like most living, breathing human beings, Bensimon became frustrated under the pressure and did quite the opposite: dieting, but also eating Dove bars and complaining about not losing weight.
Fast forward ten years. As an expectant mom, she gained fifty pounds during both of her pregnancies, eating what her body craved and letting nature take its course. But she didn't let weight issues or motherhood keep her from following her career ambitions, such as writing for Hamptons magazine, launching ELLE Accessories, penning three books on culture and style, and blogging about her daily adventures. In fact, all her weight-watching and mothering seem to have done quite the opposite.
"I've done a lot in the past fifteen years and my whole perspective changed because [of] my desire to want to be a better person for my kids," she says.

Ahh. The nesting phase of pregnancy. If you haven't hit it quite yet, odds are good that sometime late in your third trimester, you'll suddenly find yourself incessantly cleaning, organizing, and/or disinfecting every square inch of your house to prepare for your little one's arrival. And believe it or not, the whole nesting thing isn't all in your head.
According to a new study published in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior, nesting is a primal instinct in pregnant women that stems from a desire to provide a safe environment for their unborn baby.
And while I can't really recall entering the nesting phase myself when I had my son, many moms admit going to extremes to make sure everything was in tip-top shape before they went into labor.
Here are eight crazy nesting stories that just go to show that nothing can stop a mom-to-be who's on a mission to prepare for the birth of her baby -- even if she happens to be due the very next day.
Have you hit the nesting phase yet?
Image via Rubbermaid Products/Flickr
I redid my nursery 34 times within my last month of pregnancy. Come to think of it, I was re aranging my nursery when I went Into labor
When I was pregnant, I really went to the extreme. Not only did I bleach the basement floor more than once a week and stained our handrail and wood panels, I also became obsessed with Gain cleaning detergents to the point that I even took a bath in it.
I not only needed to scrub everything in my house with a MOUNTAIN of bubbles and cleaner, but I had to clean myself, too! I brushed my teeth upwards of five times a day, and showered at least three times. I also craved the smell of clean anything....so much so that I would open my linen closet several times just to breathe the fresh, clean scent all day long. My husband told me that after two kids, he's admitting me to the hospital around month six of our next pregnancy. :)
It wasn't so bad with my first child. I assume because at that point in my life not much was left undone and things were often taken care of and kept in their place....but with baby #3 who arrive just 3 months ago i another story. I would be late taking my oldest to school because I would pick up a bead off the floor near the dining table and notice that the legs of the chairs had splatter marks from "someone" spilling milk...which lead to an entire scrub down and sanitization of not only every inch of our dining set but the baseboards and floor as well. I would totally lose track of time and all things sensible because I would be so wrapped up in cleaning. I wish I had that kind of energy right now. I wish.

LONDON (AP) -- After playing only 71 minutes of Premier League football so far this season, Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva is ready to make his return against Southampton on Saturday.
And for the Brazil international, it couldn't come at a better time.
Lucas says "December and January are key months for teams in the league, so it's important for us to get as many points as we can."
Lucas hurt his knee last season, and then injured right thigh in August, keeping him on the sidelines for most of 2012.
Liverpool has struggled without him. The 18-time champions are in 12th place with only three wins in 14 Premier League matches.

By ADRIAN SALBUCHI— As with all totalitarian regimes, the black/white or the good/bad Baby Bush "You're either with us or you're with the Terrorists" – binary rhetoric lies at the heart of the Global Power Elite's PsyWar technology. In 2004, Denis Boneau, a French journalist writing for the Voltaire Network, published an article called "The Science of World Domination" (www.voltairenet.org/The-Science-of-World-Domination), making an excellent summary of key milestones in the development of … [Read more...]
The Brave New World of Pre-Drugging Kids: Patrick McGorry & Psychosis Risk Syndrome
By JAN EASTGATE — Imagine being a parent taking your 10-year-old daughter to the doctor where she gasps for air and suddenly dies in your arms. You are informed afterwards that a toxic dose of prescribed medication caused her death. Imagine leaving your house to have lunch with friends, while your husband and 11-year-old daughter are happily cuddled together watching your daughter's favourite TV show Animal Planet. You return home hours later, walk upstairs to her bedroom and find her … [Read more...]

Definition of Sickness, morning
Sickness, morning: Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.
Morning sickness is a misnomer, because it can occur at any time of the day (though not at night during sleep) and it is not a sickness. It is a normal characteristic of early pregnancy.
Morning sickness is now believed to be a good thing since it appears associated with a reduced risk of miscarriage and a greater chance that the pregnancy will have a healthy outcome.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

No cash back
First and last order, did not give me cash back.
5 stars
CoffeeforLess Rocks!
They have an extensive catalog of coffees, teas, accessories, etc. Their prices are usually less than any others. Their orders are always delivered quickly. I always order my K-cup coffees from them and I am never disappointed.
5 stars
Great Company, Great Products, Great Prices
Coffee for less has the best prices on K-cups (by the case) and fast shipping (if the product is in stock). They are super easy to deal with and are very responsive to their customers. I have been ordering from them for two years and have been very happy. I do not hesitate to recommend them!!!!
5 stars
I have never had an issue with this company. Good prices and always a deal to be had.
3 stars
Good store, but....
I've placed my second order with this company; last time there was a major delay in shipping, partially due to snow storms. I understand the predicament, but additional communication would have been helpful. Giving them a second chance, just wish they carried Van Houtte coffees.

The Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard main event scheduled for 5/28 in Las Vegas is out.
Edgar suffered broken ribs while Maynard is out with a knee sprain.
Dana White said the injuries were not serious and he was hopeful the bout would take place as scheduled in August or September.
This puts on hold the entire lightweight division, and moves back the time line for potential contenders Anthony Pettis and Jim Miller, as well as possible challenges of Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez and Clay Guida.
No new fight will be added to the show. Rampage Jackson vs. Matt Hamill has been moved to the main event position with Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson as the semifinal.
Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story, the main fight on the live Spike special, has been moved to the PPV card. Kendall Grove vs. Tim Boestch, a prelim fight likely on facebook, will now air on Spike along with Miguel Torres vs. Demetrious Johnson.

A 12-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy were stabbed multiple times in the attack.
JONESBORO, AR (KAIT)- The Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance is working to increase awareness of the need in Region 8.
A "Summer Meals Tour" happened at several different charitable organizations Thursday that work to help those in need in Northeast Arkansas. The tour is designed to help raise awareness about the importance of summer meals for kids.
Communications Director for the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, Nancy Conley said, "They're at special risk in the summer. Kids that often rely on school lunches. Those aren't available in the summer and so, a lot of times kids don't know where they're next meal is coming from."
Tours were given at the Hispanic Center, City Youth Ministries and the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas.

Kevin Feige also teased the love triangle between Thor, Jane Foster and Jaimie Alexander's Sif.

Glamor isn't easy, people.
It's called "Where's the worst place you can think of to get a raging nosebleed?"
My answer: Waiting in line to go through customs in the southern United States.
Which totally did NOT happen to me this weekend or anything.
That I'm not one of The Winklevoss Twins.
Not because they're rich or anything.
But because it would sound so fucking cool to introduce myself. "Oh hello, I'm one of The Winklevoss Twins. You may remember me from… being one of The Winklevoss Twins."
I came across the border with a Bible, a pack of cigarettes and porno cards from the Vegas Strip. An appropriate contradiction in a purse attached to a girl like me.
I smile at the border guard; a flash of fake innocence that he returns with a facade of stone-faced power. I came across the border with "him" - the cause of more real smiles than fake ones, the reason I'm stuffed full of hot weather memories and general distaste for overzealous border control and uncertainties about the future.
We look like we know what we're doing.
To the point that I'm pretty sure we believe it ourselves.
Driven by impulse, routine and fate all at the same time, logic becomes the asshole backseat driver we struggle to politely ignore.
He smiles at me as we enter the country. I clutch the Bible, throw away the cigarettes and spit my gum out in the porno cards.
(I wrote this in 2006 and just found it buried deep in a dusty notebook.)

What's next for Hunter Pence? As if winning the Willie Mac Award and signing a $90 million contract were not enough for one week, the Giants right fielder was voted National League Player of the Month by writers and broadcasters. Pence is the first Giants to win the award since Buster Posey in July, 2010. […] [Read More]
SF Giants finish in third-place tie after dramatic victory on a Hunter Pence walkoff
By Henry Schulman Amazing what the Giants packed into their final two innings of the 2013 season, mostly good, very dramatic, tinged with something really bad. Start with the ending. Hours after signing a five-year, $90 million extension, Hunter Pence completed his 2013 contract by hitting a bases-loaded single with nobody out in the ninth […] [Read More]
Hunter Pence's deal: He wanted it, SF Giants needed it
By Henry Schulman Hunter Pence got the biggest laugh at his press conference Sunday when he explained his intense, 15-minute conversation with Giants president Larry Baer Friday night. "As far as the conversation in the clubhouse," Pence said, "we were talking about the Willie Mac Award and how much it meant to me." No, they […] [Read More]
SF GIANTS UPDATE: Why the Hunter Pence deal got done now
UPDATE, 11:45 a.m.: The press conference just ended. Lots of tape to transcribe, but here are a few of the general thoughts: It's clear that the Giants wanted to get this done by today not only to keep Hunter Pence out of free agency, but also to send a message to the rest of the […] [Read More]
Hunter Pence homers after getting big deal, but SF Giants lose
By Henry Schulman A home run the day he agreed to a $90 million contract? Of course. Hunter Pence hit his 27th of the season Saturday, not enough to overcome a bad fourth inning by Yusmeiro Petit in a 9-3 Padres victory. The loss left the Giants one game behind San Diego for third place […] [Read More]
SF GIANTS UPDATE: With Pence deal done, team begins talks with Lincecum
UPDATE, 12:15 p.m.: The Giants' five-year, $90 million with Hunter Pence was completed early this morning, but that did not end the conversations between team officials and Pence's agency, the Beverly Hills Sports Council. With Pence's deal done, the Giants have initiated talks with the same agency for another of their clients, pitcher Tim Lincecum, […] [Read More]
UPDATE: SF Giants talks with Pence accelerate; they could be close
UPDATE, 11:45: I just filed this updated version of my game story with the breaking news: By Henry Schulman The Giants and right fielder Hunter Pence engaged in serious negotiations for a new contract after Friday night's 7-3 win against the Padres, and a deal could come before the season ends Sunday — or not […] [Read More]
SF Giants GM Brian Sabean reveals top priorities for 2014
By Henry Schulman General manager Brian Sabean made a startling confession Friday, saying he might have been "the most surprised person in the world" that the Giants won the 2012 World Series, a year he retooled a team that won two years earlier. Sabean saw a window for repeating in 2013, so he put the […] [Read More]
SF GIANTS UPDATE: Sabean says pitching, re-signing Pence, Lincecum, Lopez, are top priorities
UPDATE, 4:20 p.m.: Some quick hits from Brian Sabean's year-end news conference. I'll have much more detail later: On why the Giants went south this year: "It's pretty simple. We didn't have enough depth. Last year we seemingly were able to overcome injuries and lack of performance. We didn't do that this year. We didn't […] [Read More]

UPDATE, 10:55 p.m.: In one of the oddest scenes you'll ever see after a game, former Giants closer Brian Wilson walked to the Giants' side of the field after tonight's 3-2 San Francisco victory, as Giants players were shaking hands on the field, to rail on team president Larry Baer for not getting his 2012 […] [Read More]

Great, but got to figure out how to use them. :-)
Bought just for SHTF. I hope to never have to use them.
The snares came in two packages of 3 each. The user instructions are very poorly done. They don't show or tell you how to set the snares. If you want to know how to set snares, there are excellent instructional videos on-line. The instructional dvd in your bigger snare kit would be an excellent optional item to include with the smaller sets.
They look well made. Havent used them yet. Plus bought them for survival gear, in case that day comes. I hope it doesnt..

What's funny is that I hated Halloween as a child, primarily because I was shy and never wanted to draw attention to myself (if you haven't noticed I have since stopped caring about this ;)). So while I have always loved creating things I actually remember being a 'boy' for 5 years in a row, wearing my brother's clothes and a hat to school. If you want to not stand out on Halloween, dress as a 'kid' ;) Now I can live vicariously through my son, making him an epic costume each year :)
All the details are just amazing - I love the back of the Delorean.
