GSA Announces Appointment of Bob Peck as Commissioner of Public Buildings
August 10, 2009
Contact: MaryAnne Beatty, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON — The U.S. General Services Administration today announced the appointment of Bob Peck to serve as the Commissioner of Public Buildings. As Commissioner, Peck will lead one of the largest real estate organizations in the world and be responsible for managing the federal government's building portfolio.
Peck returns to GSA after previously serving as the Commissioner of Public Buildings during the Clinton administration. He will oversee an annual budget of more than $8 billion and a work force of more than 6,200. He will be in charge of nationwide asset management, design, construction, leasing, building management, security, and disposals for 354 million square feet of government-owned and leased space accommodating 1 million federal workers.
"I look forward to returning as the Commissioner of Public Buildings, the best job in real estate, and to getting back to creating public buildings worthy of the American people," said Peck. "I am grateful for the opportunity to come back to help lead GSA's important role in fulfilling the President's Recovery agenda."
Peck most recently served as Managing Director of Jones Lang LaSalle, where he advised corporations, governments, and nonprofit institutions on real estate portfolio strategy and on public-private, mixed-use developments.
Prior to working at GSA during the Clinton administration, Peck worked at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Federal Communications Commission. In addition, he was associate counsel to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and chief of staff to the late U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and was a special forces officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. Peck has also been a land-use and real estate lawyer, president of the Greater Washington Board of Trade, and vice president for public affairs at the American Institute of Architects.
Peck received his Bachelor of Arts degree with distinction in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School. He was a visiting Loeb fellow at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than 11 percent of the government's total procurement dollars and $24 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's Public Buildings Service is one of the largest and most diversified public real estate organizations in the world, with over 8,600 assets and almost 354 million square feet of rentable space across all 50 states, 6 U.S. territories and the District of Columbia.

"An international campaign against the theory of evolution has hit Denmark. The book, which holds Darwin responsible for Nazism and terrorism, among others, weighs 6.5 kilos and is 765 pages long.
... This book, thousands of copies of which have been spread over a large part of the world as a result of Muslim creationists' struggle against Darwin and the theory of evolution, was penned by Harun Yahya. According to the author, whose real name is Adnan Oktar, it [the theory of evolution] opposes not only belief in 'Creation' but Allah's (God's) creation itself. The Atlas 'proves,' with its written text and illustrations, that Darwin was mistaken. In fact, it does even more. It holds the theory of evolution responsible for Nazism, racism, communism, fascism and terrorism.
... Twenty researchers from Aarhus and Copenhagen universities, some politicians from the Danish Parliament and high schools have become the focus for the campaign being waged from Istanbul by Global Publishing and Harun Yahya. In the same way, researchers in other European countries, educational institutions and prominent citizens have also received copies of the book. And with no invoice to pay.
Niels Henrik Gregersen, a Copenhagen University professor of theology who cooperates with Muslim researchers and others, says: 'I have never before encountered such a thing … Harun Yahya says that Darwin can be proved to have been in error by comparing fossils… In addition to other matters, he says that the subjects of belief in creation and reading of the Qur'an need to be put back on the agenda, and also holds the theory of evolution responsible for Nazism and communism...'
… Peter C. Kjærgaard, a lecturer in history of ideas at Aarhus University, states that the Muslim world has abandoned the theory of evolution. 50 percent of biology teachers in Turkey are skeptical of the theory of evolution.
As he himself says, Harun Yahya has obtained good results from his campaign, which is now apparently about to conquer Europe.
Harun Yahya's name appears on every one of them. According to the official facts, he was born in 1956 and studied art and philosophy at universities in Istanbul.
Mysticism mixed with rhetoric:
He set out his views on Islam to young students he gathered around him in the early 1980s… He made one of his projects at that time a reality with his book 'Judaism and Freemasonry,' seeking to demonstrate that the main objective of Jews and Freemasons was to undermine the Turkish people's spiritual and religious values.
In the wake of this he founded the Science Research Foundation, and a decade ago began serious work on his campaign against Darwinism.
... The daily paper Information reported that, when telling the results of the campaign at an international press conference held last month, he also stated that he keeps pets.

good job for this wpa and wep tools
it works correctly
good job for this wpa and wep tools
it works correctly
Has anyone had an issue with the steps in this thread breaking the kmenu links?
Upon further investigation I should have asked, "Has anyone had an issue with the steps in this thread totally borking their system?"
The specific steps that I followed were...
And after doing so originally none of my kmenu or shortcuts worked. Trying to invoke sh in terminal says 'sh not installed do apt-get bash to install' so tried that but it said bash was installed. So I went into synaptic and reinstalled bash from there to no avail. Now upon a reboot of the system it hangs with the following:Code:rm /bin/sh ln -s /bin/bash/ /bin/sh
On the bright side spoonwep/wpa did work before the reboot ;pCode:init: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rcS: Not a directory init: rcS main process (1434) terminated with status 255 init: Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default: Not a directory init: rc-default main process (1435) terminated with status 255
Any thoughts?
Did you still have the same problem if so im about to fix your day and blow your mind at the same time cause the same thing happened to me earlier today and i finally figured it out. Also you will need an ubuntu live cd if you are using ubuntu. Let me know and ill post how to fix the problem. Later!!
If you still have this problem let me know and ill post how to fix it. Also you will need an ubuntu live cd!!
on my computer spoonwep2 doesn't find any AP ....
(airodump-ng finds AP)
Yeah mine does the same thing, it tries to open a seperate window then it can't so maybe it tries to run the commands in the terminal but does not have sufficient access and stops? Also my post earlier you dont have to have an ubuntu live cd, as long as you have a live cd for the OS that broke then it can be repaired.
ok first you need to boot into BT4 using the live cd not the harddrive. Im pretty sure you know how to do that but if not, when your computer starts up go into the boot options and set it to boot from a cd then restart. Ok once you are in BT4 open up a terminal and type the following....
df -h (this command will bring up the list of drives on your computer, you kay need to use sudo df -h if you dont have permission)
ok this next step gets a little tricky, you have to determine which drive has your BT4 files that are stored on your drive. mine looks like this....
desktop:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2 118G 8.6G 103G 8% /
tmpfs 998M 0 998M 0% /lib/init/rw
varrun 998M 224K 998M 1% /var/run
varlock 998M 0 998M 0% /var/lock
udev 998M 192K 998M 1% /dev
tmpfs 998M 84K 998M 1% /dev/shm
lrm 998M 2.4M 996M 1% /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/volatile
/dev/sdb1 807G 1.3G 806G 1% /media/1TB Drive
the drive you are looking for should be marked by /dev/sdb2 or something similar.
if you cannot find the right one then you need to go to your file explorer and mount the right one. after you found it type in the console...
sudo rm -f ?????/bin/sh (the question marks indicate the bt4 on the harddrive)
so if mine was on /dev/sdb1 i would type sudo rm -f /media/1TB Drive/bin/sh
and finally type...
sudo ln -s /bin/bash ????/bin/sh
(for me it would be sudo ln -s /bin/bash /media/1TB Drive/bin/sh )
this tells the bash located on your live cd to make a new sh and stores it on the hard drive.
I really hope this helps, if not let me know and ill do my best to help you farther!! Good Luck!! Also let me know if it works for you.
Hey, does this fix the card not showing issue as i can get Wepbuster detecting my card ok, shows in ifconfig / iwconfig but i goto spoonwep / spoonwpa and the card is still now showing in the dropdown? When i tried your commands i get a dropdown of item 1-4 ..?

Sonia Rykiel Spring 2014
When you consider the story behind Sonia Rykiel, the left-leaning, free-thinking milieu of Saint-Germain-des-Prés is never too far behind. The 83-year-old launched her label there at a time when women's changing role in society was at a pivotal juncture, and her body-skimming, exuberant designs were a liberating statement. Rykiel HQ also happens to be spitting distance from the Sorbonne, a far more traditional hub of intellectualism in the city. "The starting point of the collection was really here," said creative director Geraldo da Conceicao backstage in one of the storied anterooms of the university. "Rykiel is so connected to the idea of thinking, and I wanted to bring that empowered sense of femininity to a place that was male-dominated for so long."
Da Conceicao set forth his manifesto with a long and languid silhouette that recalled Rykiel's 1970s beginnings, and almost every look in the collection fell below the knee, from crisp-cotton bias-cut floral dresses to tailored, oversize culottes. This will be the young designer's second collection at the helm, and it's clear that he has been studying the codes of the label where both ethos and design are concerned. "Rykiel was once known as queen of knitwear, and I really want to resurrect that," he said. If a lean, longer line has dominated the season thus far, then the knitted midi-length tube skirts paired with tie-front cardigans and ribbed slip dresses were a charming, youthful, and convincing take on the look. The use of shimmering lamé throughout hit the recurring metallic notes that have been on the runways for spring, too. While da Conceicao is learning to connect with Sonia Rykiel at its roots, he's also formulating lessons in dressing for the here and now.

A new Orthodox high school for boys hoping to open next fall on the Main Line already has a site, a name and a principal. And when organizers hosted an open house to gauge interest last week, more than 150 people showed up.
A new Orthodox high school for boys hoping to open next fall on the Main Line already has a site, a name and a principal. And when organizers hosted an open house to gauge interest last week, more than 150 people showed up.
The Mesivta High School of Greater Philadelphia would initially start with at least ninth grade — and perhaps 10th as well — next fall, according to school president David Stein, a Merion Station resident. He estimates there could be 12 to 15 students in the first class.
Organizers have already reached an agreement of sale to purchase property for the school, the site of the United Methodist Church of Bala Cynwyd. But the deal is not yet complete, and they must still receive approval to rezone a portion of the property for school use. They must also raise about $400,000 to get off the ground, Stein said. Developer and Jewish community leader Gary Erlbaum donated the money to purchase the building, according to several people involved with the project.
The school could serve some of the same Orthodox families who send their daughters to Kosloff Torah Academy Girls High School in Bala Cynwyd, said Abba Krieger, a Lower Merion resident who is on the planning committee of the school. But he also made a distinction, saying Mesivta doesn't want to be perceived as "right wing" and that it is intended to be a "solid middle of the road" high school for those wanting an all-boys option. He said he expected there to be little overlap with Kohelet Yeshiva High School, a modern Orthodox institution in Merion Station that serves both boys and girls.
Prospective families are people "who want a classical yeshiva high school" where Talmud "is the centerpiece," said Krieger, a professor of statistics and operations research at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School who belongs to both Lower Merion and Young Israel of the Main Line. This school "will help the community grow."
Many Orthodox families in the Philadelphia area currently choose for their high school-age sons among Kohelet, the Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia, which is very competitive and attracts students from across the country, or institutions such as Yeshiva University High School for Boys in New York, which two of Stein's sons attend.
The growth of the Main Line Orthodox community has made having such a school "exceedingly important," said Stein, a surgeon and professor at Drexel University College of Medicine.
"There are people who leave the community because there is no boys' yeshiva high school. There are people who send their kids away, and there are people who won't come to a community that doesn't have this type of high school," he said.
David Magerman, the philanthropist behind the Kohelet Foundation, an organization that supports Jewish day schools, and the principal backer of the Kohelet high school, acknowledged that Mesivta and the Kohelet high school could compete for some students but he said he supports the new initiative. "It's great that parents have choice for their children and that they can get more of the education they want," he wrote in an email.
Some of the staff for Mesivta are already hired, including Rabbi Avraham Steinberg of Young Israel of the Main Line, who would be head of school, and Ray DeSabato, a retired principal of Friends Central School in Wynnewood, who would serve as principal of secular studies.

We've been upgrading the software that runs our website. Updates and new blog posts have been limited for the past week or so.
Even though I am a bit late, I want to thank you for your continued support of the library. The passage of our millage last year and the strong increase in usage and program attendance confirms that we are providing the services you want.
All households in our service area should have received the December issue of LINK by now. The articles, Strategic Plan, and Director's Note summarize our priorities. During 2011, we plan to seek more input from patrons. Periodically we'll be asking you about your library visit, how well staff helped you find information, how quickly you were able to use a computer or access our wifi network, how much you enjoyed an event, and more.
With the decrease in revenues this past year and anticipated decline in the next few years, we need to focus our services on the highest priorities. Your input will be useful and appreciated.
I hope your Thanksgiving was enjoyable. Thank you for your support and interest in KPL.
Come visit soon.

Corona Chorus-TonePrint von Brian Nutter
Brian's chorus TonePrint is quite bright and shimmering in the high end without chorusing the low end. The depth of effect is set low for a bit more subtlety.

TC: Who inspired you over the years when you were creating your own personal guitar tone?
Brian: Aside from my dad and those he played with? Steve Sinclair, Johnny Triplet, just tons of local guitar heroes. The first record I heard that made me go "I want to do that" was The Eagles Alive. In my teenage years I was obsessed with George Lynch, Jake E Lee, Paul Gilbert and all things metal before seeing that there was a lot more to offer in the world of guitars than playing really loud through big amps, although I still do prefer to play really loud through really big amps (laughs).
TC: What are the main ingredients in your tone in terms of effects (e.g. chorus, flanger, delay, etc.)?
Brian: Usually time-based stuff as special effects, primarily I'm pretty dry. Just overdrive right into an amp, or just the amp itself creating an overdrive, and past that I'd use delay for lead stuff. Cleaner things would have some compression and maybe a modulation and a time-based effect.
TC: Have you ever been so inspired by a tone you created that you ended up writing a tune based on that specific tone?
Brian: Absolutely.
TC: Do you work on developing your tone continuously, or do you feel that you have found a fundamental tone that will last throughout your career?
Brian: I'm sort of in between that. I don't have to fuzz with it a bunch, but it's rare that you plug right in and there you go. There is a thing I always hear in my head and I'm pretty quick to get there.
TC: Normally, do you prefer having access to many parameters, or do you like simple pedals with just a few knobs better?
Brian: Less is more. If you put a bunch of stuff in front of me I will blow it, I'll screw it up some way or another.
TC: How come you signed up for creating your own personal TonePrint(s)?
Brian: First of all it's TC Electronic so you know it's tremendous, these guys don't mess around, and it's compact. This is the first thing they've done that's been this tiny. It has tons of power, so it was a no-brainer.
TC: In your opinion, what is the single coolest thing about TonePrints?
Brian: It is limitless, and I can't screw it up. Once I get it set I can't bump it up with my foot or anything and knock it completely out of whack, so I have to have a bunch of goofy tape all over it or write down the settings in a little notebook to remember them.Lesen Sie mehr über Brian Nutter

Valentines's Day!
Romantic bed and breakfasts in Victoria, or anywhere else, are ideal settings to bring or add a little romance into your life or, better still, someone else's.
Wikipedia tells us that little is known about Saint Valentine except for his name and burial place. February 14th may not even be his feast day. As to how he became associated with love and romance is unclear; Chaucer may have had something to do with it. Anyway, who's complaining? It's a welcome break in the middle of dull winter.
The photo here is of the whirlpool bathtub the privale ensuite bathroom of our Regency Room. If you look hard enough you'll see bubble bath too. Although we are full on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th our cottage (romantically secluded in the gardens) and rooms are vacant on all surrounding nights. All have the same lovely two-person whirlpool bath, a fireplace and a private entrance. So if it's not too late for your plans do check our availability calendar and get in touch. We'd love to make your getaway break a special one.
Labels: romantic bed and breakfasts, st valentine, valentines day. valentine's day

Investment banks and the 'Industrialisation of Finance'
Since the economic crisis, global investment banks (GIBs) and the bankers who run them have been denounced in the media as having contributed to -- if not having caused -- the largest financial meltdown since the Great Depression, triggering massive government-led bailouts. Today, the panic of the crisis years may have subsided, but damage in the investment-banking industry remains – which is dangerous to the overall economy, given the important role the industry plays in capital formation and business growth. For GIBs to thrive again, they must not wait for further governmental actions and regulations but rather transform themselves from within, implementing 10 strategic steps for a sustainable future. That's according to a study by AlixPartners, the global business-advisory firm.

ERS provides economic analyses and data on vegetables and pulses for the fresh market and for processing use, including the following:
- Current and historical data on supply, use, value, prices, and trade for the sector and for individual commodities;
- Bimonthly outlook reports that give current intelligence and forecasts on changing conditions in the U.S. vegetable and pulses sector; and
- In-depth analyses of production, consumption, global production and trade, prices, and conditions and events affecting the vegetable and pulse sector and specific commodities.
The U.S. vegetable and pulse sector comprises hundreds of independent markets within the food marketing system. During the first 8 years of the 2000s, U.S. farm cash receipts from the sale of vegetables and pulses (including potatoes) averaged $17.4 billion--14 percent of U.S. crop cash receipts. This quantity was generated on less than 2 percent of all U.S. harvested acreage. Annual per capita use of vegetables and pulses in the same period was 2 percent higher than a decade earlier.
One way to classify the vegetable industry is by the two major end uses: fresh market and processing. Processing can be further divided into canning, freezing, and dehydrating. For most vegetables, growing for processing is distinct from producing for the fresh market. Generally, little diversion takes place between the fresh and processing markets in the United States. Most varieties grown for processing are better adapted to mechanical harvesting and often do not have characteristics desirable for fresh-market sale. For example, processing tomatoes are generally smaller and possess different internal attributes (such as soluble solids) than most fresh varieties (except plum types). Most vegetables destined for processing are grown under contractual arrangements between growers and processors, whereas contracting for fresh market sales, although increasing, is still less common. About half of all vegetable production is destined for processing.
According to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, U.S. vegetable farms are largely individually owned and relatively small, with three-fourths of the 69,172 farms that produce vegetables harvesting fewer than 15 acres. However, relatively few farms account for most commercial sales of vegetables. About 9 percent of operations classified as vegetable farms had sales over $500,000, yet these farms accounted for 90 percent of the value of vegetables sold by growers.
Vegetable and pulse production (including potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mushrooms) occurs throughout the United States, with the largest acreage in California, North Dakota (primarily potatoes and pulse crops), Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, and Wisconsin. More than half of all vegetable production occurs on irrigated acreage. The Upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan) and the Pacific States (California, Washington, and Oregon) report the largest vegetable acreage for processing, while California, Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and New York harvest the largest acreage for the fresh market.
California and Florida produce the largest selection and quantity of fresh vegetables. California also produces vegetables for processing (especially tomatoes), while the Upper Midwest States (Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota) grow a large portion of the green peas, snap beans, and sweet corn used in canning. Northwestern States (Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) along with New York supply the largest share of frozen vegetables and more than half the potatoes. Significant potato production also takes place in Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Colorado. North Carolina, California, and Mississippi produce more than three-fourths of the sweet potato crop. Pennsylvania and California raise the majority of the Nation's mushrooms.
Climate causes most domestic fruit and vegetable production to be seasonal, with the largest harvests occurring during the summer and fall. Imports supplement domestic supplies, especially of fresh products during the winter, resulting in increased choices for consumers. For example, Florida produces the majority of domestic warm-season vegetables like fresh tomatoes during the winter and spring, while California produces the bulk of U.S. output in the summer and fall. Fresh tomato imports, primarily from Mexico and Canada (largely hothouse), boost total supply during the first half of the year and compete directly with winter and early spring production from Florida.
Vegetable yields have been rising. The major source of higher yields has been the introduction of more prolific hybrid varieties, many of which exhibit improved disease resistance as well as increased fruit set. The adoption of precision-farming techniques, including the adoption of drip irrigation, plastic mulches, row covers and high tunnels, more effective pesticide sprays, high-density planting, use of global positioning systems (GPS), and other methodological improvements have also boosted yields and enhanced quality.
Over the longer run, shifting from less productive areas to better yielding areas has also contributed to higher U.S. average yields. For example, much of the U.S. potato and onion production has moved from lower yielding Eastern States to more productive Western States, which also offer lower unit production costs.
Vegetable output is expected to rise faster than population growth over the next decade because of continued emphasis on health and nutrition, resulting in expanding consumer demand. In 1992, the fruit and vegetable industry, in cooperation with the National Cancer Institute, embarked on a campaign (the National 5-A-Day for Better Health Program, now called "Fruits & Veggies--More Matters") to increase awareness of, and substantially expand, U.S. fruit and vegetable consumption. This effort has been joined by the Specialty Crop Competitiveness Act of 2004 and various provisions in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, which, among other things, seeks to enhance the domestic consumption of vegetables, melons, and fruit. These programs, together with grassroots industry promotion efforts and the strengthened message of the USDA MyPlate, will continue to educate consumers on the benefits of a balanced diet that includes a variety of vegetables and melons.

Just a thought.
Hello people!
After setting up some VM's (Win7x64, WinXP SP3, Debian Lenny, DVWA, Badstore Online Shop, Windows Server 2003) in VMWare I started
scanning the WinXP box (with SP3 but without latest updates). When I turn off the Windows firewall Nessus shows me a lot of vulnerabilities and
I am able to play around with metasploit and connect to the box. With firewall on I only can see that IP forwarding is enabled. NMap only shows me
that the 1000 scanned ports are filtered and OS detection also doesn't work properly.
I'm wondering if it is possible to bypass an active Windows firewall by taking advantage of IP forwarding or other methods to search for vulnerabilities.
I've been looking around for good papers or threads for hours but there was nothing useful to find.
I'm using BT5RC3 x64.
Hope you can point me to the right direction,
best regards
Just a thought.

Marchesa Fall 2014
Bonfires on the Highlands and Burns Night—that's what Marchesa's Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig were thinking when they delved into fall. It was a mix of fire and fog when it came to hues, and "grays from the skies," Chapman explained backstage before the show Wednesday. The opening look was a lace "tartan" cocktail shift embroidered with fiery copper; it gave way to a run of beribboned pony hair, a corseted gold lace–draped cocktail dress, whispery crystal-embellished wool of blush and cream, and ribbon lacing (appearing on corsetry closures and lace-up trousers). Lacing showed up on shoes, too. Those were heelless heels, echoing the ghillies worn by traditional Highland dancers. Full-skirted ball looks, like a frayed silk-chiffon "cable-knit" sweater and tiered silk-tulle dress, were paired with pointed flats for a welcome change of pace.
Chapman and Craig also offered their version of the argyle sweater, embroidered with feathers. And several styles were bedecked with Erickson Beamon pins for extra evening glamour. Not that it would have been too quotidian without. Marchesa is, of course, a red-carpet go-to, and there was much here to tempt the stars gearing up for Oscar night. What sets the collection apart from the other designers vying for screen time is its romanticism. It's nice to see something other than sexy once in a while, and Marchesa offers a touch of historical grandeur—something we don't get so often from awards season since Lacroix closed its couture house (remember Uma Thurman in his white dress in 2004?). It's something any Marchesa client can appreciate—nomination or no.

It seems I found a (temporary?) solution to the 3rd. problem which is the one most concerns me because it impacts the normal use of my USB system.
Once the filesystem is corrected using another distro with the e2fsck command, when I boot again my USB persistent system, and before to halt the system, I execute the sync command before to execute the shutdown command.
There are still some I/O errors in several sectors of the USB device, but, in the following on boots of the USB system, it seems to work better and the non-ending sequence of errors on the EXT2 filesystem is reduced to only 6 to 8 messages and the system seems to work properly.
Anyway, if anyone is able to give me a better and more definitive solution, not only for the 3rd. problem, but also for the other 2 ones, I would very much appreciate it.

"The end of America as you know it"
The right-wing forecast for post-health-care-reform America
From claiming that passing health care reform legislation will signify "the end of America as you know it" to predicting an "insurrection" should health care reform become law, Media Matters takes a look back at the variety of doomsday scenarios right wing media figures offered in the lead-up to the March 21 vote.
Right-wing media's dire predictions: If health reform passes...
Beck: "This is the end of prosperity in America forever ... the end of America as you know it." Telling his audience, "You must not allow this to pass," Beck stated in November 2009 that "they're going to get passed that 60-vote barrier. And they'll get there by people like [Sen.] Joe Lieberman, who's a reasonable guy and has good intent. You'll get passed it by people like that, who say, you know what? Look, we got to be reasonable; we have to have a debate. And then Harry Reid will go for the 51 count and he'll pass this thing. And it will be a nail in the coffin of America." Beck added: "You must -- must get on the phone in your districts. You must wake everybody up you know. This is the end of prosperity in America forever if this bill passes. This is the end of America as you know it." [Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program, 11/19/09 [1]]
Beck: President Obama will be able to "control every aspect of your life." Beck "warn[ed]" that if the bill "passes, the country is in real dire trouble." He went on to say: "The pieces that the president needs to control every aspect of your life, to fundamentally transform America, will be finished. He'll have them all," adding: "If health care does not pass, warning, those on the left are going to become violent." [The Glenn Beck Program, 3/5/10 [2]]
Beck: "[T]he fundamental transformation of America is complete." Beck also said: "Not only are they doing health care, but they are doing education in this same bill. Education and health care." He added: "It is overwhelming the system. And I'm telling you, if this bill passes -- health care and education all in one bill -- if this passes, the fundamental transformation of America is complete. There's no going back from this point. It must not pass." [The Glenn Beck Program, 3/15/10 [3]]
Beck: "If you can be deemed someone who maybe shouldn't have a baby, they can have their people come in." Beck said on his Fox News show: "You know and I know in this 2,300-page bill that includes education, the control that this government has is endless. They will -- if this passes, they will control every aspect of your life." Beck further said: "They will be able to -- there is places in here that if you can be deemed someone who maybe shouldn't have a baby, they can have their people come in. The government is in our homes on this." [Fox News' Glenn Beck, 3/16/10 [4]]
Beck: We lose "the Democratic Party to the socialists." On his March 19 Fox News program, Beck stated: "If this passes, I think it makes the election of people like Lindsey Graham, who are the compromise with big government, darn near impossible, because you can't tone this one down. You've got to pull this back by strong constitutionalists. Don't we -- if this passes, don't we lose, really, the Democratic Party to the socialists? And the Republican Party either has to be, you know, real federalists, real people that understand controlled power, or you are going to have a third party?" [Glenn Beck, 3/19/10 [5]]
Limbaugh: Bill will "hasten" granny's death. After airing audio clips of Obama saying, "I don't think we're going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately" and "I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care plan," Limbaugh stated: "Yet he's out there saying, 'Oh, these people are throwing every scare tactic in the world; it's a government takeover of health care; granny is gonna die.' It is a government takeover of health care and granny is gonna die. Granny always dies at some point -- we all do. It's gonna be hastened under this bill. And it is a government takeover. They're lying through their teeth." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 3/19/10 [6]]
Limbaugh: "I am leaving the country" if "all that stuff gets implemented." On the March 8 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show, a caller asked Limbaugh where he would go for health care if the health bill passed and if "private doctors have to go into the federal program." Limbaugh replied, "I don't know" if private practices have been "outlawed in the Senate bill," adding: "I'll just tell you this: If this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented, I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 3/8/10 [7]]
Morris said he was "100 percent positive" Obama will create panels to "curb medical care to the elderly." On the March 3 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News contributor Dick Morris said what Obama "has in mind is curbing medical care to the elderly," and that he's "going to set up a panel" to determine treatment. Morris said he's "100 percent positive" this will happen. [Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, 03/03/10 [8]]
Fox Business: "Does Obamacare mean millions more jobs destroyed?" During a discussion about the health care bill on the Fox Business Network, an on-screen graphic asked: "Does Obamacare mean millions more jobs destroyed?" [Fox Business' America's Nightly Scoreboard, 03/16/10 [9]]
Cramer: "Obamacare will topple the stock market." On the March 18 edition of CNBC's The Kudlow Report, CNBC host Jim Cramer predicted that, in the words of host Larry Kudlow, "Obamacare will topple the stock market." [CNBC's The Kudlow Report, 3/19/10 [10]]
Hemmer: "Could people be going to jail for not owning health insurance?" On March 19, Fox News host Bill Hemmer said: "The mandate would tell Americans you've got to buy health insurance, if not you could be fined, and I guess eventually that could lead to prison. I mean, this -- the way you understand it right now, could people be going to jail for not owning health insurance?" [Fox News' America's Newsroom, 03/19/10 [11]]
Limbaugh: Democrats will regulate "every aspect of our lives." Limbaugh stated in November 2009: "People have been either unwilling to accept or unwilling to believe just how radically left the current Democrat Party is. There is nothing remotely Democratic about this bunch. There is no democracy going on here." He added: "They don't care what we think ... because they don't think we have the power to stop them. And when this passes, they will have even more power, regulating every aspect of our lives because they believe in their minds and hearts that we have no competence whatsoever to lead our own lives and make our own decisions." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 11/20/09 [12]]
Cal Thomas: The government will deny care to "granny" because "she's costing too much." On March 20, syndicated columnist Cal Thomas said on Fox News: "There has been more baloney sold in Washington today than is available at your local supermarket. The president says they're not going to pull the plug on granny. No, but they will deny her care because she's costing too much and she's too old." [Fox News' America's News HQ, 3/20/10 [13]]
Quinn: The government will be able to "commit a violent assault on your body." Referring to the Obamas, radio host Jim Quinn said that "Bolshevik Barbie and our marginally documented president" want "the power to control your body and your life. That's what they want and that's what this is. And if the government can consult a chart that says, 'I'm sorry, you're a little bit too old and a little bit too sick and the protocol for what you've got now isn't approved by the government anyway because it's experimental or it's too expensive -- if you were a little younger, maybe. But we can't give you that, but we can give you a pain pill.' " Quinn added: "Giving the government that power is allowing the government to commit a violent assault on your body -- a violent assault on your most precious possession, which is your life." [Clear Channel's The War Room with Quinn & Rose, 2/26/10 [14]]
Quinn: "You are going to see insurrection. You're going to see an uprising." Quinn predicted that "if they pass this thing, you are going to see insurrection. You're going to see an uprising. People are just not going to take this. I mean, your taxes are going to go through the roof. It's going to be a bloodbath when people find out how much this is going to cost and for the first four years, they're not going to get anything." [The War Room, 1/13/10 [15]]
Quinn: "The response" to passing health reform "will be insurrection." On his February 16 show, Quinn said Democrats are "so close to an all-encompassing, all-controlling paradigm here by which the government literally owns your body" and that "if they have to die in the fight, they will die in the fight. This is about establishing from now on and forever a socialist state in America, ripping the Constitution to shreds which progressives have hated for over 100 years. This -- they're so close. They ain't giving it up." Quinn concluded: "The response to this, if they do it, will be insurrection." [The War Room, 02/16/10 [16]]
Moore: "This is a dark day for America if we pass this bill." Discussing the market reaction to passing the health bill, The Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore said on Fox News: "I think personally -- I think that the markets have always thought for the last year and a half that eventually this day would come. And I think, by the way, this is a dark day for America if we pass this bill." [America's News HQ, 3/21/10 [17]]
IBD poll, Fox News: Doctors will shut down their practices. Several Fox News figures, including Neil Cavuto, Bret Baier, Morris, O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Steve Doocy highlighted [18] an Investor's Business Daily/TIPP poll which found that "[t]wo of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted." However, according to statistician Nate Silver, the poll was "simply not credible," and Fox News itself acknowledged that the poll was "not scientific."
Limbaugh: Senate health bill will lead to "250 million uninsured." On his March 8 radio show, Limbaugh claimed Democrats' "plan" in passing reform is to institute a "single-payer" system and that "there is no public option in this, but that's how they're going to get there." Limbaugh also predicted that the health bill would "just destroy private insurance as an option" and "lead very quickly to government-only insurance." Limbaugh continued: "Only idiots would have health insurance under this deal, only blooming idiots. There is literally no reason to have health insurance -- none. ... They say there's 30 million uninsured now, try 250 million uninsured, and every one of them paying a fine to the government for not having insurance." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 03/08/10 [19]]
Claiming that health reform is "all about limiting your rights," Quinn suggested "gay sex" could be prohibited. On January 12, Quinn said the bill is "all about limiting your rights, trust me. It's all about limiting your rights. Yep, wait until what you love starts to impact on their system. That's right. Wait until what you love, whether it's the Second Amendment, or whether it's riding a motorcycle, whether it's being a gay man and engaging in gay sex, which is demonstrably -- at least some of it is -- a rather unsanitary act in many cases, and it could impact on our health care system. Now, I can't imagine the health care system coming after a preferred group, at this point, like gays, but you know what? Sooner or later, when the money starts to run out, they are the government after all, and you're not. [The War Room, 01/12/10 [20]]
Quinn: "If they pass health care ... that is the end of the republic." On January 5, Quinn said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have to understand that we are at a critical and pivotal moment in the history of the United States. If they pass health care, government health care, that is the end of the republic. That is the final nail in the coffin of the individual free human being. Once they own your body, they own everything. Once they can withhold health care from you, because you're too old, because you're too sick, or maybe 'cause they just don't like you -- did you ever think about that?" [The War Room, 01/05/10 [21]]
Cal Thomas claimed health reform "is an outrage" and "a sham"; "[e]uthanasia is coming." On Fox News' America's News HQ, Thomas said the health bill is "a triumph of the humanistic, atheistic philosophy. Instead of being endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, those rights are going to be taken away by bureaucrats who will decide whether you get a hip replacement or a heart bypass, based on your age and your ability to pay more taxes." He continued:
It is an outrage. It is a sham. Euthanasia is coming. You can call them death panels. That's exactly what they're going to be. We are going to really be sorry for this, but, unfortunately, when the guy in the white robe comes to give us our little pill, as President Obama told ABC, the 100-year-old woman who wants to live must get in order to make it equal for everybody and not to spend so much, it will be too late. [America's News HQ, 11/21/09 [22]]
Siegel: "[U]nder ObamaCare, guidelines will quickly become mandates." In a November 2009 New York Post column [23], Marc Siegel wrote that the new mammogram guidelines [24] from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force [25] mean that "under ObamaCare, guidelines will quickly become mandates, and patients will routinely face the choice of paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket or accept higher risks of cancer. It will take government bureaucrats years to admit mistakes, if they ever do -- and by that time thousands of women will have needlessly gotten sick or even died of cancer." He also stated that "All the major 'reform' bills create lots of new panels and other bureaucrats empowered to 'suggest' things doctors shouldn't do -- and even to penalize doctors who order 'too many' tests."
Limbaugh: "Human beings will die earlier than normal" under "freedom killing" and "life threatening" health-care reform. Limbaugh said the "whole bill is about death" and "rationing." He continued: "It is the single greatest tool the government will have to regulate every aspect of behavior. This is a freedom killing, and it is going to end up being a life-threatening bill. Human beings will die earlier than normal, earlier than necessary because of this bill. There will be bureaucratic institutions, bureaucracies, which will make decisions on who gets treated and what kind of treatment they get, and who doesn't get treated. [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 11/09/09 [26]]
Baker warned that health reform would lead to euthanasia for overweight people. Guest-hosting The Glenn Beck Program, Chris Baker suggested that health reform will lead to overweight people going to jail or being put to death: "Sir, you're overweight. What? Yes, sir, you are overweight, we're going to have to require you to lose weight. And if you don't lose weight on your own, we're going to send you to a fat camp and make you lose the weight. And if you still don't lose the weight, then you know, we're just going to have to do surg -- we're just going to have to put you in jail. And if you don't lose the weight in jail, sir, I don't know what else to do. Maybe some end-of-life counseling might be good. I mean, I remember a woman that got -- that was greased by Dr. Kevorkian because she was fat." [The Glenn Beck Program, 11/09/09 [27]]
Hannity: "If we get nationalized health care, it's over; this is socialism." In November 2009, Hannity said, "When you look at the extreme czars, and you look at Barack Obama, and you look at the Barack Obama that portrayed himself one year ago as a very different candidate, you know, why -- I feel like I have been vindicated. I was excoriated for saying he is far more radical than people know. You know, what do you see about him? Do you think he is far -- do you think he's a socialist? Do you think he's -- because I think this is -- if we get nationalized health care, it's over. This is socialism, and that's a kind word." [Fox News' Hannity, 11/2/09 [28]]
Limbaugh: When you turn 65, "hello death panels." In October 2009, Limbaugh told a caller that it's "not good" that she's 50 years old because "if they get it done -- it will not be implemented until 2013 so that Obama will not face a revolt in the 2012 elections. And then when it gets implemented in 2013, you'll still have your private insurance. It's going to take a number of years to force the insurance companies out of business and to force people onto the public option. They're not going to be able to wave a magic wand and have this done overnight, but it will happen. And let's say it happens -- well, Obama's target year, he said it might take 10 to 15 years to totally wipe out private insurance. Now, they're going to try to do it sooner than that, and they might succeed, but 10 to 15 years makes you 65, and 'Hello, death panels.' " [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 10/27/09 [29]]
Limbaugh: "Obamacare" will "smother the individual," "aimed at robbing you of your humanity," "all of us will be slaves." Limbaugh asserted that Democrats' goal in passing health care reform is "to smother the individual," and that it's "aimed at robbing you of your humanity and forcing you to bow down to the state. If you feel sick, you need a procedure, need a prescription, you're going to be thinking about the government." Limbaugh claimed that "you are going to be relying on government for your survival," and that people will "need permission from the government" to have treatment. He continued: "It's not going to be a matter of whether you can or cannot pay. It won't be a matter of whether you have coverage or don't have coverage. What'll matter is that all of us will be slaves; we'll become slaves to the arbitrary and inhumane decisions of distant bureaucrats working in Washington where there's no competition, nobody you can go to if you don't like what you hear from the bureaucrats that you have to deal with." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 09/30/09 [30]]
Limbaugh pretends to be a truth-telling Obama: Government won't take over health care, it'll just control it entirely. During a September 2009 broadcast, Limbaugh pretended to show how one of Obama's speeches on health reform "if he were telling the truth, would have gone." Limbaugh said, "We're only cutting over $500 billion from the already bankrupt program because there are other people, apart from our seniors, who need health care, too. Everyone has to sacrifice, particularly mom and dad, granddad, grandmom -- but they won't mind. That doesn't mean, of course, that we're going to ration care. We would never do that. We love our seniors. ... And what's all this talk about the government taking over health care? More fearmongering by the special interests. No, what's going to happen is that we will oversee the insurance companies to make sure they don't cheat and rip you off. That's right. The same politicians and bureaucracy that stole trillions from the Social Security trust fund to pay for ever more spending -- and the same politicians and bureaucracy that stole trillions of dollars from the Medicare trust fund -- will use their carefully honed skills and experience to ensure that the private insurance companies treat you fairly." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 09/10/09] [31]

Midwives VS OB
I am 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I am young, only 18, and so far I have been taking very good care of myself but I have not been receiving checkups from the doctor. I have done research and I very much want a natural birth and to breastfeed for at least two years after the birth.
My first appointment is with a doctor, to get a scan and make sure the baby is alright. I am very nervous, but I feel in my heart that everything is OK. I was wondering what some of the differences are between receiving care from a midwife and receiving care from a doctor? Do you think a midwife would be willing to see a patient my age, this far along without previous care?

Hello Addy,
You have wonderful goals for yourself and your baby. A natural birth and breastfeeding for at least two years - just wonderful!
I have had 5 homebirths, attended by 2 different midwives and a lay midwife. I have also attended a hospital birth and during my first pregnancy (when I was under the care of my midwife) I was exposed to slap cheek and had to have some care from a doctor (extra doctor visits and scans).
I'm going to include a video here for you to watch because I think it will inspire you. I will then come back and share some very specific differences in care between a midwife and a doctor.
I also want to encourage you and let you know that a midwife would probably welcome you as a client, especially if your scan shows that everything is progressing normally (and there's no reason why it shouldn't show this). Transferring your care from a doctor to a midwife is very easy if you decide to do this.
This is the birth story of a single mum named Amy who is planning a home birth. Enjoy!

Hey Addy,
Just wanted to let you know that I think a midwife would be a great fit for you, and most would be very happy to see you. I have have seen and worked with both OBs/GPs and MWs and though there are some great doctors out there, the level of care and time spent with clients just doesn't compare to midwives in my experience. Also, as long as everything looks good on your scan, and you are a healthy, young patient I am fairly sure most midwives would be willing to overlook the lack of early prenatal care.
Best of luck to you, whatever your decision!

Hi Addy,
There's an excellent article on this site that will help you better understand your choices and the costs (or lack thereof) associated with each. The article is entitled Pregnancy Choices - Who Do You See?
The article includes a statement from a mum who used a Birthing Centre with midwives (looks like that may be free, if a space opens up). She says...
You walk into this cosy place where all the midwives wear normal clothes and you make cups of tea and toast and there is really nothing around to remind you of a big scary hospital. They had big baths where I spent most of my labour. I can truly say I loved having Sam.
You asked what the difference is between receiving care from a doctor, and receiving care from a midwife, so I'd like to share my personal experiences with both.
The doctor who I saw in the middle of my first pregnancy (due to being exposed to slap cheek) had about 10 minutes, at most to see me. My appointment went like this: I arrived and waited quite some time before each of my appointments (for some reason, this doctor always seemed to be running behind). I know that's not standard with every doctor, but I do have to say that many doctors I've seen have kept me waiting. I was then taking in by a nurse I did not know (different nurses each time) and they would have me urinate in a container. Then I was taken to a stark room with the typical "examination table", and asked to put a gown on (ugh - personally, I don't like putting gowns on when it's simply not needed). They took my weight and my pulse and my blood pressure - the normal things. And then I was left by myself to wait (again) for the doctor.
The doctor would eventually come in, check the baby, order blood work, and quickly answer any questions I had. He was done in 5-10 minutes, and off I would go to the lab to see yet another unfamiliar face.
Now - compare this to my prenatal appointments with my midwife. The first midwife saw me in an area adjacent to her home. The 2nd saw me either in her bedroom or in someone else's home (closer to where I lived). In each case, I either laid on the bed, or on a beautiful exam table with a pretty, floral, cotton sheet (no white, crinkly paper, no stirrups).
I don't remember waiting more than 5-10 minutes for an appointment, and often there was no waiting at all. When I did have to wait, it was in the living room of a warm home, and there were no other patients around. I could even bring my other children with me to my appointments which was very convenient.
When the midwife was available, she would come and greet me with a hug and a smile. Always a hug and a smile. She would have me go into the bathroom and test my urine myself (I just filled a little cup and put the dip stick in it, then I would read the stick myself). I felt like this gave me a sense of being in control of my own body. If the sugar in my urine was a little high, I was the first to know.
I would then go into the bedroom and we would sit and chat for awhile. Again, I had 30 minutes to get to know my midwife and for her to get to know me. I didn't have to put a gown on - I just pulled my shirt up to bare my belly and she would do her exam with her hands (much like you saw in the video above).
Blood work was done right there in the room, by my midwife. Blood pressure was taken in the room - oh, and when I was in the bathroom doing my urine check, I would also step on the scale and weigh myself. The midwife wrote all of this down in my chart.
She would then give me suggestions on things I could do to improve my health or my baby's position so that I would have the best chance of having the easiest and shortest labour possible.
Midwives are very skilled with their hands. Their C-Section rates are around 3%, as compared to many doctors who have a 25%-30% C-Section rate. They are patient and often will wait for the woman's body to do what it needs to do to go into labour and/or birth the baby, rather than intervening and moving things along faster. Yet they also are very skilled at knowing when an intervention is needed. It's just that once you start with one intervention, it often leads to the next, which leads to the next. This is one reason why hospital births end up in C-Sections so often - simply because they tend to intervene too early.
Probably the biggest benefit of having a midwife is that she is your caregiver throughout your entire pregnancy, and she is there at your birth. She becomes your friend and your advocate. She knows your history well and she doesn't come in just for the "catch" like doctors do (in a hospital, it's usually the nurses that monitor you through labour, and then the doctor comes in for the catch).
Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the difference in care between an OB and a Midwife. If I can't answer, I'll be sure to let our resident midwife, Jane know that you have a question waiting for her.
Warm regards and big hugs, as you start your pregnancy care.

Very Good Product!
By Cool Brig
from Inglewood, CA
I recently had a headache. I used my new tension headache relieving massager, and it relieved me from my headache. I did not need to take any medication and that was the main reason why I purchased this product. I am going to buy another one as a gift.

Listen to Florida Georgia Line on iHeartRadio
Florida Georgia Line is throwing their support behind Outnumber Hunger. The country duo is the new leading artist for the General Mills campaign, and will be featured on the boxes of a number of the company's products. And they've already taken part on one high profile event for the charity effort.
Florida Georgia Line was performed along with Rascal Flatts, Justin Moore, and others at the Academy of Country Music's Party for a Cause Festival earlier this month in Las Vegas, which supported Outnumber Hunger.

Charlotte, N.C.-The Brevard College Tornados softball team dropped a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader to the Anderson Trojans at Smethers Field on Wednesday afternoon, falling 13-3 and 9-1.
Game One – Anderson 13, Brevard 3
The Tornados struggled against the high-octane Anderson offense as the Trojans scored in every inning of the run-rule shortened game. The Trojans finished with 12 hits and worked six walks.
The Tornados scored three in the top of the 2nd after Anderson scored four in the bottom of the 1st against Jamie Hrobak, making it a 4-3 game going into the bottom of the 2nd.
Corinne Stiles gapped a double to right center to score Brittany Jones and Michelle Ray, who hit back-to-back singles with one out. Alyssa Miller plated Stiles with a double of her own with two outs.
The Trojans, however, got a run back in the 2nd before engineering a seven-run 3rd inning to take a 12-3 lead. AU added the 13th run in the bottom of the 4th.
Game Two – Anderson 9, Brevard 1
Anderson scored seven runs over the first two innings of game two, highlighted by an Abby Child grand slam in the bottom of the 2nd.
Alyssa Miller was saddled with the loss, pitching four-plus innings for the Tornados, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on six hits and seven walks. Miller faced two batters in the 5th before a Jessica Neidigh run-scoring double enacted the run rule.
The Tornados spoiled the shutout in the 3rd inning when Kacey Brooker reached on a fielder's choice, and later scored on Trojan fielding error. Miller had BC's only hit, a single to start the game.
BC returns home to host the Young Harris College Mountain Lions for a doubleheader Thursday at 3 and 5 p.m.
