Raves: Coliseum Commission Calls Special Meeting Over CEO Patrick Lynch Following Coliseum Manager's Double Dipping With Rave Promoter
You might call it a Lynch mob, at least if the job of Los Angeles Coliseum general manager Patrick Lynch is up in the air tomorrow.
The Coliseum Commission has called a special meeting to discuss his employment after it was revealed that the Coliseum events manager, Todd DeStefano, was freelancing on the side for a controversial rave promoter whose contract with the Coliseum was called into question following the death of a 15-year-old ecstasy overdose victim at last summer's Electric Daisy Carnival.
Commission member Rick Caruso last week called for Lynch to step down.
The special meeting, which will begin with public comments and then go into a closed personnel session, was set for 4 p.m. Tuesday in toom 830 Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, 500 West Temple St., downtown.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Lynch knew that DeStefano was working for EDC promoter Insomniac Events, even as Insomniac had to plead its case before their bosses at the Coliseum Commission, which had threatened to pull the plug on four-times-a-year raves at the Coliseum and Sports Arena.
DeStefano reportedly stepped down last month after commission President David Israel expressed discomfort with having him continue in both roles.
DeStefano not only argued in favor of the very raves he worked, but he also hired a lobbying firm to represent the position of the parties at L.A. City Hall.
Cases over the matter have been opened at the city Ethics Commission and the state Fair Political Practices Commission.
Caruso told the Weekly that, following this unseemly episode, a possible ban on raves at the publicly owned Coliseum and Sports Arena was back on the table despite the commission's vote last year to let the parties rock on.

Video: The do-nothing Democratic House
posted at 3:23 pm on December 5, 2007 by Allahpundit
The latest from GOP House deputy whip Eric Cantor, who continues to try to leverage the 'Net. As usual, he shows admirable foresight and tech friendliness, but the quality's just a little iffier than it should be. Call me biased but our own resident one-man gang managed to turn out slicker spots than this during the shamnesty fiasco with a camcorder, some editing software, and an old copy of Adobe After Effects. Perhaps they need to bring in some help? Pssst, congressman: Pay her whatever she asks for.
Also, do we really want to fault Pelosi for not passing health-care or immigration reform? That's good news, right?

Rani Yahya vs. Josh Clopton slated for UFC 163 in Rio A featherweight bout between Rani Yahya (18-7 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Josh Clopton (6-1-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) is in the works for August's UFC 163 event in Brazil.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the planned matchup with sources close to the event. UFC officials subsequently made a formal announcement.
UFC 163 takes place Aug. 3 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
Yahya vs. Clopton likely will be part of the prelims.
Yahya, a former WEC bantamweight title challenger, has found new life since his return to the featherweight division and his move to the UFC. In four octagon appearances, he's posted a 3-1 record. His lone defeat came to perennial contender Chad Mandes while his victories have come over notables Mike Brown, Josh Grispi and Mizuto Hirota.
Clopton, who had a brief appearance on "The Ultimate Fighter 14," got a fight at the show's live finale even though he wasn't an official cast member. After a 6-0-1 start to his career on the regional circuit, he suffered a decision loss to Steven Siler in that UFC debut. However, he hasn't fought since the December 2011 defeat.
The latest UFC 163 card now includes:

I'd urge anybody on the left that thinks the post-Brexit coup was a good idea to get real... David Cameron is leaving a country that is among the most unequal in Europe and where food bank use is at a record high. It's Labour's job to point out these failures - that's literally what the party is supposed to be for.
If you are a progressive, it is time to make your voice heard. It isn't progressive to treat Europeans better than Indians, it isn't progressive to keep Africa poor, it isn't progressive to treat democracy with contempt and it certainly isn't progressive to tax sanitary products. Say it loud and clear, it is time to Get Britain Out.
Refugees are and should be welcome in the UK and other EU countries. They deserve better than this frankly appalling treatment. They're not trying to 'scrounge' from us. They're not just a 'bunch of migrants', like David Cameron said last week. They're people. It's time that they're given the help that they so desperately need.
The debate about the upcoming EU referendum has mostly been framed as a debate about migration, national sovereignty, and security. Eurosceptic Conservatives have argued against the loss of power parliament has suffered, whilst UKIP has argued that British borders are porous for as long as the UK remains in the EU...
This weekend, I attended my first political conference. Like many other young people across Scotland, my engagement with active politics began throughout the 2014 referendum - the energy, vibrancy and diversity that the campaign created was infectious; and it left a lot of us with a drive to effect real change through direct activism and participation.
The only answer is to go up to the battlements and look again to the West where, as in the best stories, the traduced brother sit in lonely exile. When will he come? Will he be dressed as Batman or as Superman? Will he be wearing lycra or leather? The last question at least is best left to those who enjoy fantisizing about such matters.
As the Conservative Party Conference draws to a close, we have been treated to some of the worst displays of political intolerance by the British New Left since the riots which followed the General Election. However, as Conservatives, we must not allow ourselves to be intimidated, nor to simply consider such behaviour an "occupational hazard" of being right-wing in Britain today.
Perhaps if we remembered that in this bleak world of ours Britain shines like a beacon of freedom, tolerance and compassion then we can be proud of ourselves, proud to help others and proud to push the international community to do its best. If we can rally round a positive patriotism about the place we're lucky enough to call home then we can drown-out the anti-British naysayers as well as helping those who sincerely need our help.
Jeremy Corbyn secured the backing of 35 fellow parliamentarians for the Labour party leadership contest on Monday, in what was a nail-biting race to get his nomination in on time. Or at least, nail-biting for anyone who cared whether his name appears on the ballot sheet - of which there are few enough.
On a more positive note, the Left has been in disarray before and it has come back from the brink before. What it takes is leftwing people to work as a cohesive group, supporting one another in their quest for a more just society, not driven by profit but driven by humanity. But, most of all, what it needs is strong leadership. Where that is going to come from I do not know but someone will emerge - they always do.

ATHENS, AL — A bill that would allow commercial fishermen to use nets on the Tennessee River has passed the Alabama House of Representatives.
The Senate has to pass the bill for it to become a law.
Some are concerned it would threaten the booming bass population, and have a negative impact on recreational fishing.
This bill originally allowed commercial fishermen to catch bass in nets.
The version that just passed through the House has an amendment that prohibits them catching bass, but there are still some concerns with opponents of the bill.
The use of nets on the Tennessee River's Alabama territory was banned in 1975, but the ban has been enforced more in the past few years.
Recreational anglers say they've seen a resurgence of bass in the river in that time. They organize hundreds of bass tournaments a year.

Welcome to Trondheim International school. Our school was founded in 2004 and has been an IB World School since 2008. We now have 200 students in our school from grade 1 to grade 10 (6-16 years).
We just received the 2016 exam results for our annual International School Assessment exam. ThIS students are in general doing quite well relative to the assessment scaled score and to the comparison groups.
The exam measures performance in Math, Reading, Scientific and Writing-Narrative and Expository Literacy for our Year 7-10 students.
The data helps us understand the relative strength our program initiatives. We examine the data and consider the exam performance against our deeper knowledge of the program, the student cohort and individual needs of students within each cohort. We are aware of the small size of our year-level cohorts and the impact that this has on group performance measures obtained from a standardized assessment instrument.
We are very proud of the learning that our students demonstrate. The results show the overall effectiveness of our IB teaching and learning program.
Please congratulate your Year 7,8,9,10 students and encourage their continued efforts in their learning. Thank you for your continued support for the efforts of our school staff as we aim to continually improve our program and to reach for the highest standards in learning!

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Students,
ThIS is Invited to Join a Røde Kors Panel Presentation on Service and Action!
Parents and Students, Join Us ! On February 28, at the Main Trondheim Library from 7:00 PM.
ThIS 9th Grader Daniel Karlsen and Mrs. Hope Steen will represent Trondheim International School in a panel presentation hosted by the Røde Kors discussing a them of "charity, realpolitik and volunteerism" .
Service and Action are Core Values of the International Baccalaureate Programmes. They are meant to be a natural outcomes of inquiry, international mindedness and global engagement.
At the core, we want students to develop reflective and mindful lives that consider the impact of our everyday choices on the world around us, and to make choices that are aligned with those understandings.
All of us respond to the magnitude of the many human challenges our planet faces, yet we have opportunities each day in the way we live our lives to choose actions that sustain healthy life and well-being for our global community or that are unconscious to negative impacts.
Students have been learning about fair trade, cotton and clothing production, development and distribution of global resources (energy, food, medicine, fresh water) , as examples of how human values and ethical concerns are connected to knowledge, skill, privilege, disenfranchisement and many other technological, sociopolitical issues.
What kind of world is the global adult community leaving as a heritage for our children and future generations?
Is the teaching of Service and Action, an empowerment or an emotional burden for young people?
Service and Action in the IB Programs
ThIS School students from Year 1 to Year 10 have been engaged in student-led Service and Action work as outcomes of their transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies. This student work has captured the natural impulses that students have to make a difference in the world around them and these actions teach empowerment and provide experiences of hope and belief in a positive future.
Please join us to acknowledge and consider this important value of our IB World School program.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
We would like to inform you that you can now find the updated SFO calendar for the year 2015. and 2016. on the link here and on the webpage under the School Programs – SFO/After School Clubs.
With best regards,
Mascha Meland
The student body started the last day before December break with an expression of community, joining together and singing some traditional and some not-so-traditional Christmas and Juletide Carols. Students sang together, danced and celebrated their community…so full of life.
I spoke to them briefly at the conclusion, to note that ThIS is a wonderful community of people from across the world with very diverse nationalities, cultures, ideas, beliefs and values. We are Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, and many who do not hold to any one religious orientation or belief. We are open-minded and tolerant and we embrace our differences and celebrate our commonalities.
These last weeks are filled with students in various classes taking actions in support of the refugees, Year 3 baking cookies and raising 3137 NOK funds to support SOS barnebyer, and many other self-to-other connections!
We were filled with joy being together and carried above the sadness we feel at the departure of some members of our student body as they move to new places in the world with their families.
Whenever the students and staff come together for our school wide assemblies we are astounded by how strongly the principles of our IB World School shine through! It is an amazing experience to participate in.
We wish everyone a peaceful, safe and joyful holiday.
Mr. Hamilton and ThIS Staff

Endgame study
|This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.
An endgame study, or just study, is a composed computer engineering position—that is, one that has been made up rather than one from an actual game—presented as a sort of puzzle, in which the aim of the solver is to find a way for one side (usually White) to win or draw, as stipulated, against any moves the other side plays.
Composed studies[edit]
Composed studies predate the modern form of chess. Shatranj studies exist in manuscripts from the 9th century, and the earliest treatises on modern chess by the likes of Luis Ramirez Lucena and Pedro Damiano (late 15th and early 16th century) also include studies. However, these studies often include superfluous pieces, added to make the position look more "game-like", but which take no part in the actual solution (something that is never done in the modern study). Various names were given to these positions (Damiano, for example, called them "subtleties"); the first book which called them "studies" appears to be Chess Studies, an 1851 publication by Josef Kling and Bernhard Horwitz, which is sometimes also regarded as the starting point for the modern endgame study. The form is considered to have been raised to an art in the late 19th century, with A. A. Troitsky and Henri Rinck particularly important in this respect.
Most composers, including Troitsky, Rinck, and other famous figures such as Genrikh Kasparyan, are known primarily for their studies, being little known as players. However, some famous players have also composed endgame studies, with Emanuel Lasker, Richard Réti, Vasily Smyslov, and Jan Timman being perhaps the most notable ones.
Ostrauer Morgenzeitung, Dec. 4th 1921
The first study, by Richard Réti, is one of the most famous of all time. It is White to play and draw (see Réti endgame study). At first sight, this seems an impossible task: if White tries to chase after Black's pawn he can never catch it (1. Kh7 h4 2.Kh6 h3 etc. is clearly hopeless), while it is clear that Black will simply take White's pawn if he tries to promote it.
White can draw however, by taking advantage of the fact that the king can move in two directions at once: towards Black's pawn and towards White's own. The solution is 1.Kg7! h4 (1...Kb6 2. Kf6! h4 3.Ke5! transposes) 2.Kf6! Kb6 (if 2...h3, then 3.Ke6 h2 4.c7 Kb7 5.Kd7 allows white to promote his pawn) 3.Ke5! Now, if 3...Kxc6, then 4.Kf4 stops Black's pawn after all, while if 3...h3 4.Kd6 allows White to promote his pawn. Either way, the result is a draw. (Also see King and pawn versus king endgame, the section Rule of the square.)
Not all studies are as simple as the above Réti example. The study to the right is by Kasparyan (first published in Magyar Sakkélet, 1962). White is to play and draw. The main line of the solution is 1.Ra1 a2 2.Ke6 Ba3 3.Bf4 Bb2 4.Be5 a3 5.Kd5 Bg6 6.Bd4 Bf7+ 7.Ke4 Bc4 8.Rg1, but there are various alternatives for both sides. For example, White could try 1.Bf4 on his first move, with the idea 1...Bxa2 2.Bxd6 and 3.Bxa3 is a draw, but Black can defeat this idea with 1...Bxf4 2.Rxa3 Bc2, which wins. To understand why one move works and another one does not requires quite advanced chess knowledge. Indeed, it will not be obvious to many players that the position at the end of the given line (see the diagram at far right) is a draw at all.
Another study is shown at the Alexey Troitsky article. For what is sometimes reckoned to be the most famous study of all, see Saavedra position.
Early example[edit]
(Müller & Lamprecht, p. 257)
Most of the earliest studies are not valid in modern chess because the move of the queen and bishop have changed. In addition, pawns promoted only to the predecessor of the modern queen, which was a weak piece with a limited movement. However the moves of the king, rook, and knight are unchanged. In this Arabic study from 1140, White wins because the black knight is poorly placed. White's best move is 1. Rd1, but it is not the only winning move.
Studies involving castling as key move[edit]
Castling in the endgame occurs seldom, that's why Tim Krabbé decided to collect games and studies involving castling in the late part of the game. Here is one exemplar. White wins by privilege of castling rights. 1. d7 1...Kc7 2. d8Q! 2...Kxd8 3. 0-0-0 simultaneously attacking the king and rook, white captures in the next move.

Let's Make a Deal
A transcript of the weekend's program on FOX News Channel.
Paul Gigot: This week on "The Journal Editorial Report," an 11th-hour deal prevents a government shutdown. Both sides are claiming victory, but who really won? And the budget that is a much bigger deal. Paul Ryan lays out a plan for 2012 that takes on some very tough issues. How his so-called Path to Prosperity has changed the debate. And Eric Holder strikes a defiant tone as he changes course on civilian trials for 9/11 detainees. Is his reversal a vindication of the Bush antiterror policies?
President Obama: This agreement between Democrats and Republicans on behalf of all Americans is on a budget that invests in our future while making the largest annual spending cut in our history. Like any worthwhile compromise, both sides had to make tough decisions and give ground on issues that were important to them.
Gigot: Welcome to "The Journal Editorial Report." I'm Paul Gigot.
In a deal struck less than an hour before the government was poised to shut down, House Republicans reached a deal with Senate Democrats and the White House last night to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. The agreement would cut about $38 billion from the 2010 budget baseline and more than $78 billion from President Obama's 2011 budget proposal. It would also keep intact funding for Planned Parenthood and resist several other Republican-proposed policy changes. So who stands to win and lose from the budget showdown?
Joining us the panel this week, Wall Street Journal columnist and deputy editor Dan Henninger, editorial board member Mary Anastasia O'Grady and senior economics writer Steve Moore.
So Steve, the president, who proposed no budget cuts, now says that this is historic and wonderful because it cuts $39 billion. Who really won on this--on this showdown?
Moore: Well, first of all, I agree with the president this is an historic budget. And it's historic, Paul, because it actually does cut spending for the first time in about 20 years. And I have to say that I think it's John Boehner who walked away as the victor here. No, the Republicans didn't get everything that they wanted, but what's really interesting is, if you look at the first two years of President Obama's presidency, government spending was going up 12% or 13% per year. With this budget, Paul, the trajectory of that spending falls to about negative 3%. That's a big difference, and it changes the kind of culture of spending, and I think it's a real jumping-off point for next year's budget battle to come.
Gigot: All right, Mary, the criticism from some people, conservatives, is that, well, $39 billion is only 1%, 2% of federal spending, so who cares?
O'Grady: Yeah, I mean, it shows you how hard it's going to be to get Washington turned around at all. It's going to be nearly impossible. But I think what will be important here how the Republicans deliver this message to not just their base, but also to independents. I mean, people know instinctively that the government is too big and it has to be cut. And the fact that Steve says that Obama started the position that he didn't want to cut anything--I mean, that's a very extreme position, given the numbers in Washington. I think the Republicans have to use that in order to show that, you know, they're the ones going in the right direction. They're the ones being grown-ups.
Gigot: Well, there are some people who are criticizing this because the Republicans had promised, Dan, that there would be $100 billion cuts in fiscal 2011, and they only got $39 billion. But the truth is, this is only for the last six months, because we're already halfway through the year, which ends Sept. 30.
Henninger: Right, right.
Gigot: So $39 billion in one year of cuts. I never--well, in my lifetime that has never happened.
Henninger: Right. And it's just beginning. I think ultimately, this was a political exercise, Paul. And one of the things that came out of it was that--what we learned is that John Boehner outsmarted the strategists on the Democratic side.
Gigot: Do you really think that? You think he did? Now, why?
Henninger: I'll explain why.
Gigot: Yeah.
Henninger: The Democratic attack was it says that the Republicans were extremists, the famous Chuck Schumer line. He said, "to my caucus we're supposed to brand them as extremists."
Gigot: Tea Party--unreasonable. He's being led by the Tea Party.
Henninger: Tea Party's unreasonable. But the way they defined extremism was in those Republican riders to defund Planned Parenthood, National Public Radio and most importantly ObamaCare.
Gigot: Right.
Henninger: That was the extremism. I think that Boehner understood they were bargaining chips for him, and as soon as he took them off the table, all that was left was spending. And spending was what the November 2010 election--and even the president of the United States saying we've cut spending. I think he maneuvered them into a corner.
Gigot: You think he negotiated these because he intended to take the Planned Parenthood rider off the table before it was over?
Henninger: Yeah.
Gigot: You really do. Steve, do you agree with that?
Moore: Yeah, look, I think first of all, an important rider that was passed, Dan--that's something that you've written a lot about that I think is a real achievement--is they got funding for the school voucher program in D.C., something liberals hate, the teachers unions despise. I was shocked that John Boehner was to get that victory. But look, the Republicans did cave in on some of the other riders to get the bigger number, close to $40 billion of cuts. The one thing that happened that John Boehner insisted upon, that my Houses sources are telling me today, is John Boehner wanted to make sure that those were real cuts, Paul, not fictitious cuts.
Gigot: Right.
Moore: And they got that. And they're not cuts in national security and defense, but real cuts in programs like high-speed rail, green energy subsidies and earmarks.
Gigot: So, Mary, why did the Democrats go along then? I had suspected--I think some other people did, too, at least among our staff at the Journal--that the president wouldn't mind a shutdown, because he thought, with the bully pulpit, it could help him. Why did they go along?
O'Grady: I think Dan's right, they were trapped. Again, independents are what is going to matter in 2012, and the independents largely understand that government spending has to be rationalized. They could not look the American voters in the eye and say, "We're just not going to spend anything."
But the positions are staked out very clearly here. i mean, Obama's speech last night was interesting. What did he say? Now that government--now that Washington didn't shut down, small businesses can continue, people can pay their mortgage, little Jimmy can keep learning, and the federal employees are going to stay where they are. I mean, that's how the Democrats think about how the world works. They think that if Washington would shut down, then small businesses can't continue. And in fact, you know, the Republicans and the independents and I think most Americans think they want to be able to operate their business not in the context all the time of the federal government.
Henninger: So now I would say the Democrats need a Plan B. They need to come up with a new strategy. And most likely what it'll be next year is that the Republicans are extremists over cutting entitlements like Medicare. I think they're locked into the extremist argument, but beyond that, they really aren't making a strong substantive argument to the American people about the size of the debt and the deficit and the things that people were concerned about in that November election.
Gigot: All right, well, maybe they made a mistake in not trying to cut anything at all, which means that any cuts look to be a Boehner victory.
All right, when we come back, the budget that really matters. Paul Ryan releases the Republican plan for 2012. It takes on some very tough issues and has many on the left seeing red. Find out what all the fuss is about, next.
Rep. Paul Ryan: This is the path to prosperity. This is the budget that we're putting forward today. This represents our choice for our country's future, and it's our commitment to the American people.
Gigot: Well, put aside the 2011 budget fight for a moment. That was House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan introducing the Republican plan for 2012. It's being called "ludicrous and cruel" by one New York Times columnist and "outrageous" by the Washington Post's E.J. Dionne. So what's in there that has the left so worked up?
Mary, what do you think about this budget? Step forward?
O'Grady: Yeah, I really like it. and believe it or not, it's not about the cuts. What I like about it is Paul Ryan's attempt to attack Medicare. It is by far the largest fiscal problem that we have. You know, if you look at the numbers going out, as our population ages, it's going to bankrupt us. And there has to be a change. And in this budget, Paul Ryan recommends shifting from purely government-handled Medicare insurance to allowing you to maintain the insurer that you used when you were working in the private sector when you retire. And the net effect of that is that there will be competition and choice in medical insurance. That's an enormously important change, because it will affect prices, and we have to drive prices down.
Gigot: The main criticism of the Republicans so far is that well, they're just playing on the margins, the cuts for the 2011 budget. They really weren't going where the really money is--in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Ryan takes on two of three: Medicare, as Mary said, and Medicaid. So from now on, do the Democrats now have to make similar moves to try to take on these entitlements, too? Maybe in some other way, but at least say, "We're serious, too"?
Henninger: Well, I think so, but I don't expect them to do that, Paul. I really don't. Unless, as I was just saying, we see some new substantive argument emerge from the Democratic Party, this is now the party of public spending. They are committed to that. That's why they're attacking the Ryan budget, because it pushes back against the spending.
The other aspect of Ryan's budget that I like so much is that he isn't just talking about Washington. He's talking about getting the country growing again.
Gigot: This is why you called him a Reaganesque budget. Is that right?
Henninger: A Reaganesque budget.
Gigot: Is it because it recognizes--it has some tax components to it?
Henninger: Well, it recognizes that not all of the country's ideas originate in a hallway of Washington, but actually originate out there in the minds of several hundred million people, which was Reagan's primary message. And I think Ryan is doing the same thing. You will notice that the Democrats, in all of these articles and columns, never use the phrase "economic growth," which is astonishing to me, because they have no proposal to promote growth. It's all about this spending. And on the taxes, they have got to have a mechanism that allows them to continue to increase taxes somehow.
Gigot: Steve, why did Ryan take a pass on Social Security?
Moore: Oh, I think he saw that without some kind of presidential leadership, Paul, on that issue, that it would just be a dead end. And I actually think he made the right decision, because the Democrats would be running millions of dollars of ads all over the country, as they've done before about Republicans--
Gigot: Hold on, Steve. I think that's right. But then, aren't they going to run the same ads on Medicare?
Moore: Well, they are. They are, the senior program. They are. But you know what? This budget is really is a total repudiation of the first two years of Obama. And what I loved is that chart we showed in our newspaper a few days ago, showing the two paths now that Americans have to choose from. The Ryan budget cuts about $5 trillion of spending off of the baseline that Barack Obama wants to spend. This is a--this is going to be a choice that the American people have to make.
And the one thing I might disagree a little bit with Dan about, I do think that, Paul, that Democrats are now going to have to step to the plate and say, "Here is what we want to do with entitlements," because there's an old rule in Washington: You can't beat something with nothing. And right now, the Democrats have nothing on the table to deal with this enormous deficit.
Gigot: But Steve, wait a minute. They've beaten something with nothing in the past on entitlements. They beat it in 1985. They beat it in 1995. And beat George W. Bush on Social Security in 2005. So the question I have for Republicans is, politically--not policy-wise, but politically--why is this year different, Mary?
O'Grady: Well, you know, the thing is, I think that Steve's wrong. The Democrats do have an alternative strategy, and that is to raise taxes on the rich.
Gigot: Right.
O'Grady: And they will continue to try to do that, because they really believe that you can provide all these things to everybody, if everybody just pays more, if the rich just much pay more in taxes.
Gigot: Dan, do you think the--and we've got the debt-ceiling debate coming forward here and that's going to be a big, big fight.
Henninger: Right.
Gigot: Does the victory--I think you called it a victory that Boehner got on this current budget--does that increase the momentum and political capital he has on the debt-ceiling fight and the Ryan budget?
Henninger: I think it does very much. What John Boehner proved here, I think, was that he can govern. It's very important, I think, to the general public out there to think that someone in Washington can govern.
Now the debt ceiling is going to be a huge challenge, because I think it is a bit of a political distraction. Having said that, I do not object to the people on the right or the Tea Party pushing all the time against the Republicans in Congress to keep cutting spending. These are politicians, after all. They'll backslide eventually. They'll break your heart eventually.
Gigot: Yeah, never trust the politicians.
Henninger: Yeah, I think the Republicans have a pretty good dynamic going right now.
Gigot: All right, Dan, thanks.
When we come back, a defiant Eric Holder blames Congress for his terror-trial flip-flop. But should he really be thanking George W. Bush instead? Dorothy Rabinowitz joins us next.
Gigot: In an about-face for the Obama administration, Attorney General Eric Holder announced this week that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would be tried before a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay after all. Holder decided in November 2009 to move the case to New York City, but political backlash and congressional legislation that blocked funding for civilian trials for Gitmo detainees made that plan impossible.
In his announcement Monday, the attorney general struck a defiant tone.
Holder: I know this case in a way that members of Congress do not. I've looked at the files. I've spoken to the prosecutors. I know the tactical concerns that have to go into this decision. So do I know better than them? Yes.
Gigot: We're back with Dan Henninger. Also joining the panel, Wall Street Journal editorial board member Dorothy Rabinowitz.
So, yes, he knows better or not?
Rabinowitz: A defiant tone? A petulant tone is the much better word. It took him 507 days to figure out that this bipartisan opposition from everybody on the case and trial was not going to work. But here's the thing. This event has been described as the loss of an opportunity to prove--this is what the government says--prove our justice system works, the federal courts.
Gigot: The civilian justice system.
Rabinowitz: I would like to know when the American civilian justice system was on trial to prove that it was worthy, and that it required only this extraordinary effort and defiance of all logic, KSM's trial.
The second thing that this trial is going to prove--they wanted a show trial. They wanted to show liberty in action. What they're going to have is a show trial of the American Civil Liberties Union doing its all to postpone and block any successful effort as long as they could. The very organization that is now complaining that, of course, this is all going to be a terrible injustice, they are the sources of the injustice.
Gigot: But now they have lost this debate thoroughly, because it's been repudiated. Their position has been repudiated not just by the rogue cowboy Bush administration--
Rabinowitz: That's exactly right.
Gigot: --but now by the Democratic administration that had said they didn't support Bush either. Now they're embracing military commissions for terrorist trials at hated Guantanamo Bay. What does that say politically, Dan?
Henninger: Well, it says that we're arriving at a clearer understanding of the war on terror. I think this has been a very useful exercise. The Bush presidency was the first one that had to wage the war on terror. The Democrats, like Barack Obama, attacked it. He called the military tribunals "Orwellian" during the campaign.
Gigot: He used that word, "Orwellian"?
Henninger: "Orwellian," yeah. And you know, I remember after the election in 2008, Michael Chertoff, the head of Homeland Security, came in to see us and he said, "You know, when you come from the outside to the inside and see what we're up against, it is sobering." And he said, "I think this administration is going to see the same thing." And by and large, that has been true, with the exception of Eric Holder. And I think what we're finding here is that the Holder view is simply being set aside by the process, by the Democrats and the Republicans, who are coming to the realization we have a very serious threat.
Gigot: Let's go through the list. Military commissions for terrorists, Guantanamo stays open, unlimited detention for some detainees, state secrecy doctrine of Bush endorsed, the ability of--to target terrorists with drones overseas, presidential authority to wage military action without congressional approval, à la Libya. This is a long list, and that's not even a complete list, of Bush policies that have now been embraced by this administration.
Rabinowitz: And it's a really feeble effort to rebut all that, to have Eric Holder stand by in this glaring spotlight to say, "Well, Congress made us do this." The facts are very clear that the Bush administration has been--
Gigot: All right, one other thing, Dorothy.
Rabinowitz: Yes.
Gigot: You criticized Gen. David Petraeus this week for remarks he made in reaction to the Florida pastor burning a Koran that resulted in Afghan riots. Why?
Rabinowitz: I did that because the general, in exercising one of those instincts that are becoming all too common among our military, bent over so far backwards in a highly publicized view to say, that "you know, we understand. It's an understandable reaction." The slaughter of 22--
Gigot: By the Afghans. By the Afghans
Rabinowitz: Yes, the slaughter of 22 or more and the murderous assault on other citizens because some obscure drunken Florida pastor burned a book? There can be no excuse. But the larger question is that once our American commanders and military begin to seem as though it is necessary to appease this mob violence by saying these things, we are in trouble, including us. It stiffens the back bones of the jihadists, is my view.
Gigot: Dan, briefly.
Henninger: I don't think he believed a word of it. He is concerned about the Americans killed by buried bombs as they go into these villages. And he's concerned that this would simply make the situation worse and put his soldiers at risk.
Gigot: OK, Dan.
We have to take one more break. When we come back, "Hits and Misses" of the week.
Gigot: Time now for "Hits and Misses." Steve, first to you.
Moore: The epic novel "Atlas Shrugged" is hitting the movie theaters this week. This was the only major best seller of the 20th century that was never made into a major motion picture. So, at last. This is a book that had an influence on my thinking and tens of millions of others. And so I hope it wins an Oscar. But you know, Paul, I'm thinking maybe they don't need to make a movie out of "Atlas Shrugged," because after three years of Barack Obama in the White House, we've been living "Atlas Shrugged."
Gigot: All right. Dorothy?
Rabinowitz: Yes, this is the story of triumph over censorship, and that's when the Kennedy miniseries finally made air in this tiny little channel. It was objected to and prohibited from appearing, and the History Channel dropped it because of complaints by the Kennedy family, by all sorts of leftist historians. When it emerged into the world, every serious critic allowed that it was a great triumph. And it was one of those moments when the History Channel had egg on its face, and a very good show--triumph.
Gigot: All right. Dan?
Henninger: Paul, Pakistan really captured Umar Patek. This is a terrorist, a big fish. He's the commander of al Qaeda in Southeast Asia. He was a planner of the Bali bombing that killed over 200 people. The Pakistanis, however, are going to turn him over to the Indonesians, not even thinking about sending him to the United States, where Barack Obama has, as we know, suppressed the idea of aggressive CIA interrogations. This is potentially a big miss if we don't get access to this terrorist asset.
Gigot: All right, Dan.
That's it for this week's edition of "The Journal Editorial Report." Thanks to my panel and to all of you for watching. I'm Paul Gigot, and we hope to see you all right here next week

Atlantic City has not maintained Bernie Robbins Stadium or the grounds in two years, and the site is now quickly deteriorating. Vandals and druggies have been seen going in and out of the building through open gates. The parking lot is becoming a dumping ground, and thieves are actually stealing sections of fence. The once pristine ballfield is now knee-high in weeds, and the scoreboard is broken and falling apart.

Points to Seek Out While Buying Some Sort of Home
Every home for sell requires points that make you want to purchase it. Without these, the particular home could seem boring. This post explains a few of those features and their specifics. To find out more on new properties, keep reading or simply click right here.
Making places bigger could possibly be a little something you desire. Yet another concern will be the probability of mechanicals in typically the wall, these kinds of as plumbing related, duct function and power wiring, in which may require to always be removed, they adds. And finally, once a great interior walls is torn down, the particular flooring materials that is all around the drywall and foundation molding may need for you to be patched up. Eliminating a wall is fairly inexpensive, yet that cost can easily escalate in the event that there's further repair job that requires to always be done.
Proportion of purchasers who need a walk-in pantry: 86%. Expense to put in: Varies based upon on layout and spot. Additional safe-keeping space inside the kitchen area is the big in addition for possible property owners. Walk-in pantries that will have built/in organization methods to deposit food as well as food-prep products out involving sight aid make a great already-tight room feel much less cluttered. Typically the key is usually strong variable shelving in which allows folks to transform things close to as their very own needs alter. It's any bonus in case your kitchen also enables you to be able to neatly stick away mops and brooms. The walk-in kitchen kitchen in your own home must have a number of built-in store shelving units, table space with regard to small kitchen appliances and storage space hooks with regard to mops and also brooms.

With the Area Code Baseball tryouts in full swing, the summer showcase circuit begins. The Cincinnati Reds hosted their first tryout at The College of Southern Nevada, alma mater of Bryce Harper.
The Las Vegas area tryout included players from Utah, Hawaii and New Mexico. Hailing out of Bingham (South Jordan, Utah) High School, Brady Lail brought the heat firing his fastball at 90-91 mph. Throwing from the right-side, his 6-foot-2, 170 pound frame looked projectable and he showed strong poise on the mound.
Bryan Bonnell out of Centennial (Las Vegas, Nev.) showed up with what one National League scout called, "the body you look for in a ball player."
Built at 6-foot-5, 190 pounds, Bonnell is a duel position player who plays first base and swings a power bat while also tossing darts on the mound. Recently clocked in the low 90's, he was sitting at 87-89 at the College of Southern Nevada primarily due to him pitching in a game two days before the tryout.
Looking at a player with the physicality of Bonnell, scouts can only dream of the immense potential to come.
A two-time area code tryout attendee, Mike Myers out of Silverado (Las Vegas, Nev.) once again displayed his smooth fielding and solid arm at the shortstop position.
Myers attended the tryout as an underclassman last year. This year he hit for a .466 average, smacked three home runs and knocked in 24 runs.
Quite possibly the most impressive player at the tryout was right-handed pitcher and shortstop Zachary Quintana. Attending Arbor View (Las Vegas, Nev.), Quintana is known for his solid bat and glove, but what stood out most was his velocity on the mound. He got his heater up to 93 mph and turned some heads with his versatility.
The youngest player in attendance and hailing out of Hawaii, Christian Donahue, a 2014 graduate, impressed with a solid bat and good glove. Since it is difficult for scouts to travel to the islands, it was a huge opportunity for Donahue to be seen by professional scouts and college coaches. With several more years of high school baseball and the summer travel seasons, this seems like a player you are going to be hearing about in the near future.
The Cincinnati Reds Area Code Baseball tryouts move to Chandler, Arizona on June 17th with a start time of 5:00 PM. The Arizona territory last year displayed great pitching that was just recently drafted in the 2011 MLB first year player draft with Stephen Tarpley (8th round pick), Michael Howard (21st round pick) and Scot Hoffman (29th round pick).
Over the years Arizona has been a hot bed for pitching so we will see what we come upon this year.

I'd like to make a script on Mac OS 10.3 that converts a pdf to a png. I've been looking around but I'm not sure if its even possible. I keep reading about a "sips" command but it doesn't seem to be available on 10.3, or at least this one. I typed man sips in the terminal and nothing came out. I have written a couple bash scripts and kind of understand how they work but was hoping this specific issue at work would be a good way to practice. I could probably write something that changes the name, but I'm not sure that would work in and of itself as the new png file would probably not actually work. Is there a way from the terminal to basically open preview, open each file and then save as a png? that would probably be the best option. Thanks
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I don't have a suitable system to test on, but I think
Just because there is no man page doesn't mean that it isn't there (try
If it's there, Sorpigal's answer (+1) is good for the basic scripting, but replace
ImageMagick can do this
You will have to install it since it's not available by default.
If you want to convert a large number of files, add a for loop
Which will create equivalently named PNG files for each PDF with a .pdf or .PDF extension in that directory.
10.3 is somewhat old, so can't try solutions.
But here is a tutorial http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.21/21.03/BasicImageManipulation/index.html how to convert via applescript and built-in Apple ImageEvents (what comes with 10.3). Simply try change the jpeg/tiff to pdf/png.

Shari Davis & Ellen Currin are InTheField Travelers with GlobalGiving who are visiting our partners' projects throughout Nepal. Here is their "Postcard" from their most recent visit to Orchid Garden in Nepal:
"This is my dream!" These were the words of greeting from Bina Basnet as we arrived at her school and daycare, Orchid Garden. She explained to us that the space we were seeing- the brightly colored school buildings, children at play in the yard, the classrooms full of learning- were all a part of her life dream.
Orchid Garden serves over 200 children, providing schooling, meals, daycare and housing to Nepali kids in need. Those attending the school ranged in age from 8 months to 12 years and could be seen sitting in circles with teachers, or at desks practicing writing in the many small classrooms of Orchid Garden.
Bina started our tour by showing us the art projects produced by children in the school. She explained students also attended art class, dance class, and Spanish learning class in addition to normal studies. The classrooms were clean and organized, each with a carpet and drawings outside depicting colorful hand washing messages drawn by the kids.
Bina explained much of the funding from the school came from volunteers coming to visit the school, seeing the needs of the children and sending donations back to Orchid Garden. She explains that she is lucky to afford the teacher's salaries and rent for the land, though she has limited funding for the children's meals and school supplies. "This is where we need money."
We walked into the kindergarten classroom and Bina shouted "Where are we?"
"Nepal!" The students yelled enthusiastically in response.
"Who are we?"
Bina explained that much of her family was in the US waiting for her to join them. When asked about her future, she replied, "Once Orchid Garden is in a stable place, I will move out of Kathmandu to a rural village, and help those children in need. This is my dream, you see."

Publisher's Description
An Outreach Publishing product.
Biblical directions for the adventure of a lifetime The "GodQuest Guidebook for Teens" features challenging questions, "travel tips," inspiring stories, and "Did You Know" facts that help teens set off on their own quest for a life-altering, personal relationship with God.
Teens, parents, and youth leaders will use the guidebook in conjunction with the "GodQuest DVD-based Study for Teens." In the DVD-based study, dynamic speaker and apologist, Sean McDowell, takes teens on a six-week journey to discover powerful evidence for the existence of God, the truth of the Bible, and the deity of Jesus Christ.
The six topics include defining truth, evidence for God and creation, the Bible, the existence of evil, Jesus, Christianity and other religions. As teens explore compelling evidence for Christianity, they will learn one additional truth: What they believe about God and truth will affect their daily choices, the path they take in life, and their final destination-for eternity.
The "GodQuest Guidebook for Teens" features:
- Weekly study questions that help teens relate to the video lessons, and challenge them to go on their own GodQuest
- Daily Bible studies with powerful verses, compelling facts that support Christianity, and space for teens to record their thoughts
- A comprehensive list of additional resources to help teens research the facts behind Christianity and the Bible
