If Gatsby's speakeasies were recreated by Frida Kahlo, they might look like Candelaria, a cocktail bar hidden behind a tiny taqueria with arguably the best tequila in Paris. The drink menu varies according to what fruits and spices are available at the market, and there's something called a Pisco Disco that combines alcohol with edible glitter. Obviously, we've already placed a reservation…

Founded by famed author and former French resistance fighter Jean-Pierre Rosnay in the '60s, Club des Poètes is a special place where Paris' writers, musicians, and students come to drink, dine, and sometimes test out new material. At 10 P.M. every night except Sundays, the restaurant and bar transform into a poetry slam where anyone—and everyone—can share their favorite passages and authors. The only catch? No reading from a book (or your iPad) allowed: All poems must be recited from memory. There are no DJs, dance floors, or doormen at this bohemian paradise, but of course, that's exactly the point.

Even Clayton Kershaw needs a little help to win a baseball game.
Sunday, all the Dodgers' ace needed was two swings by Carl Crawford.
Crawford hit two home runs off Kyle Lohse, one on Lohse's first pitch of the game and another in the fifth inning, to provide the offense in the Dodgers' 2-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.
Kershaw nearly did the rest by himself, striking out 12 and allowing four hits in eight scoreless innings. Brandon League retired the side in the ninth inning to complete the Dodgers' fourth shutout win of the season.
For Kershaw, the victory reversed an unwelcome trend. The left-hander walked four batters in each of his two previous starts, particularly struggling to throw his breaking pitches for strikes.
"When you fall behind in the count and you're not able to throw your off-speed pitches for strikes, you have to throw your best pitch to get back in the zone with a strike, and that's the fastball," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said.
As a result, Kershaw reduced his curveball - a devastating weapon on most days - to a bit role in Tuesday's win over the New York Mets and a loss to the San Diego Padres five days before that.
"That's probably a byproduct of being in a lot of bad hitter's counts," Ellis said.
Ellis wasn't the catcher Sunday; Ramon Hernandez filled in with Ellis sitting out the Dodgers' second game in less than 24 hours.
It hardly mattered that Hernandez had never caught Kershaw before. The left-hander hit his spots, mixed in all his pitches, and fell one shy of his career-high for strikeouts in a game, striking out 12 for the fifth time in his young career. He didn't walk anyone.
"He's got his changeup, curve and slider is pretty good," Hernandez said of Kershaw. "So when you realize the hitters start cheating on the fastball, the breaking ball and the changeup come into play and open up the outside part of the plate."
Kershaw struck out five batters with sliders, four with fastballs and three with curveballs.
Crawford's big game continued a trend that's seen him bat .381 with three home runs in 42 at-bats at Dodger Stadium this season. He's batting .214 on the road and .307 overall.
"My last road trip was freezing cold weather. The first one, I don't know," Crawford said. "Hopefully I try to hit better on the road, continue to hit well here."
Not only did he pick a good day for the sixth two-homer game of his career, Crawford picked a good time.
"I've hit some balls that probably still would've been gone, but they didn't get out here," he said. "They say the ball flies better in the daytime. I caught a break today. This is a tough ballpark to hit ... just got to get lucky, I guess."
In the first inning, Crawford drilled a belt-high fastball the opposite way, poking the ball over the fence in left-center field. In the fifth, he turned on an inside slider and turned it into a souvenir in the left-field bleachers.
"I came into it knowing Crawford's an early swinger - especially against a guy like me, who's trying to pour strikes in there," Lohse said. "It's just one of those things where he caught me on the first pitch right over the plate. You can't do too much about it. I mean, I'm not going to throw a first-pitch curveball."
Lohse was excellent otherwise, allowing five hits, walking none and striking out four in seven innings. The Dodgers mustered only four singles outside of Crawford's home runs.
Milwaukee came closest to scoring in the first inning, getting back-to-back singles by Jean Segura and Ryan Braun with one out. A double-play groundout by the next batter, Jonathan Lucroy, ended the inning and the Brewers' best threat.

GSA/Department of Health and Human Services Host a Small-Business Fair
By Marie-Alice Denis
WASHINGTON, April 13, 2011 – The Getting Back to Business fair organized by GSA and Department of Health and Human Services educated entrepreneurs on how to do business with both federal agencies
Additionally, the event for small-business owners highlighted specific projects under way, including prime projects and subcontracting opportunities around the Atlanta region, and offered two informational workshops and matchmaking sessions for vendors.
General Services Administrator Martha N. Johnson, HHS Assistant Secretary for Administration E.J. "Ned" Holland Jr., and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed shared tips on how to increase their chances of winning government contracts.
GSA's small-business team was also on-site to discuss its new Mentor-Protégé Program and the recently launched the Business Breakthrough Program. The latter equips businesses with information and resources that will help them compete for the nearly $50 billion of federal purchases that flow through GSA each year.
About 300 guests from Atlanta and across GSA's Southeast Sunbelt Region – which covers Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi – attended Getting Back to Business. This year's daylong fair was at the newly renovated Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Building. Atlanta was chosen for the site since it's one of the nation's epicenters for local and foreign business.

The Swag, celebrating its 30th season in 2011, has always valued our returning guests. However, in the early years, we didn't really have a way to reward repeat Swaggers. Then, in 1991, The Swag became a member of Select Registry which had a loyalty program called the Golden Quill. This program has evolved over the years to provide repeat guests a loyalty reward of $25.00 on their fourth visit to a Select Registry property.
In 2011, Select Registry revamped the Golden Quill Loyalty Program making it easier and quicker to earn a reward. Now after only 12 nights, not stays, guests are entitled to a $100 gift certificate issued by Select Registry that can be used at The Swag, or any other member property. To participate in the Golden Quill Loyalty Program simply register on the Select Registry website and enter your nights after you check-out. With the program now being online, there are no more cards to keep track of and no more stamps to collect at check-out. It's just that easy!
And if that's not enough, this season The Swag joined Stash Hotel Rewards. Stash is a new hotel rewards program where members earn and redeem points for free nights at authentic, independently-run hotels across the U.S. Swaggers have the opportunity to earn five points for every dollar spent on the base rate which can add up quickly for free return visits to The Swag, or over 150 other unique independent properties across the U.S. Stash, which is just over a year old, continues to grow and has already expanded by 25+ properties since we joined in April. With Stash, there are no membership numbers to remember or cards to carry, your Stash account is tied to your email address. To join, enroll online at the Stash website or pre-enroll at check-in.
Whether it's Golden Quill, Stash, or both, rewarding loyal Swaggers has never been easier. Collect the rewards you've earned and enroll today.

text: Ben Affleck learned that even if you are an A+ list mostly movie actor that you will get banned if you win enough money from casinos counting cards in blackjack. Counting cards is not illegal. Casinos just tell a player they are too good and ban them from ever playing again in that casino. You will probably also get banned from other casinos. Ben Affleck has been banned after winning too much money playing blackjack at the Hard Rock Casino in Vegas. Most of us would have been thrown out. Ben and Jen were given a car ride back to their place. If he had a run at a game that had better casino odds they would have welcomed him back, but because he was playing blackjack, he was banned. I'm sure there will be some casino in Vegas who will take the chance and garner the publicity and let him play there.

A week after David Beckham announced Saturday's MLS Cup in Carson would mark his final Galaxy game, commissioner Don Garber spoke in his annual state of the league teleconference.
Not surprisingly, the first several questions Monday dealt with Beckham's 2007 arrival and his MLS legacy as he departs the league, in a playing role at least, although he has an option to buy a franchise, perhaps even the up-for-sale Galaxy.
Equally as unsurprising was Garber's effusive praise of Beckham for his part in the league's rapid evolution in recent years.
But that was also tempered by realism about the league's growth and that MLS today is much more than a league Beckham built.
"We needed David Beckham in 2007 to help drive our credibility, to help drive our potential and show the world that the U.S. and Canada was ready to support the league," Garber said. "We don't need anything today to get us to the next level.
"I have no regrets whatsoever with any aspect of the (Beckham) deal," added Garber. "I don't believe we're going to be hurting when David leaves. David helped us get to a certain point and we're going to take it from that point and take it even higher."
Garber's comment was in marked contrast to last week's hyperventilating in the wake of Beckham's announcement, notably by the hyperbolic Tim Leiweke, who heads up the Galaxy's corporate parent, Anschutz Entertainment Group.
"Seldom does an athlete redefine a sport, and David not only took our franchise to the next level, but he took our sport to another level," Leiweke panted.
Great sound bite, if utter twaddle.
You can argue persuasively that Beckham took soccer marketing or the awareness of MLS to another level in this country, but not the sport in general.
Beckham merely took the hype surrounding himself to unprecedented heights with his celebrity generally outweighing his on-field contributions.
In fact, Beckham was clearly more beneficial on the field for MLS than he was to the Galaxy or the continued growth of the sport in Southern California.
The Galaxy have not regularly sold out the 24,500-seat Home Depot Center in recent seasons, a consequence of a steady escalation in ticket prices to pay for Beckham's services against the sobering backdrop of the worst recession in decades.
The Galaxy are much more of a draw on the road, where the novelty of an appearance or two a year by Beckham remains alluring to fans who want to say they have seen him play in person.
In fact, one can make a case that the more lasting contribution to the sport will come not from Beckham, but the tens of thousands of 20-something and 30-something fans in places like Seattle, Portland and, yes, these days even former soccer backwaters like Kansas City.
Spurred by the construction of soccer stadiums near vibrant downtowns, it's that demographic that has become the most important, not the soccer moms and their offspring that MLS suits once believed were key to the success of suburban soccer-specific venues.
Garber said Monday that no one could argue Beckham hasn't "overdelivered" on and off the field.
Yet Galaxy fans who saw Beckham start all of two games in 2007 when he arrived here injured might disagree.
Then there were the combined 16 starts over two years in 2009 and 2010 because of overseas loans and a catastrophic Achilles injury Beckham admitted was caused in part by playing too much overseas in the MLS offseason.
And in the 2008 season, when Beckham put in 25 games, the Galaxy could only struggle to a franchise-worst eight wins.
It's only in the past two years, with Beckham playing a couple of dozen times each season, that he belatedly rehabilitated his on-field image with an MLS career-high 15 assists in 2011 and seven goals in 2012. And perhaps not coincidentally, the Galaxy promptly reached two MLS finals in a row, including Saturday's 2011 MLS Cup rematch against the Houston Dynamo at 1:30 p.m. at Home Depot Center.
Yes, Beckham turned the rule created just for him six years ago into a wider MLS trend that in 2012 saw 31 so-called designated players (i.e. high-wage earners) sprinkled throughout MLS.
Yes, his presence in part prompted greater investment in venues designed specifically for the sport and a proliferation of expansion franchises with the MLS entry fee jumping from $10 million to around $40 million.
But if Beckham was the spark, it's enthusiastic fans providing the sustainable fuel that will keep the MLS flame burning long after he has flamed out. The 40,000 to 60,000 fans who regularly attended Seattle Sounders games this season weren't coming to see Beckham; they were there to see their team and their sport in their unique stadium.
"The sights and sounds of Major League Soccer are very organic and authentic," Garber said Monday, observing that soccer is now the second-most popular pro sport among young fans. "We are making more progress in what I call fan development than we had expected we would be able to reach a couple of years ago.
"There's no doubt that (the U.S. and Canada) have become soccer nations."

One of the essentials of prayer is having firm faith in Allah. In situations in which one feels desperate, people feel no doubt about Allah's existence and His help. Yet a person ought also to feel Allah's existence, might and grandeur while praying during times of ease. In fact, not only during prayer, but at every instant of daily life, a believer should retain this awareness. At every moment he must feel Allah's existence and closeness and pray, for only someone who is cognizant of Allah's existence acknowledges the meaning and importance of prayer. Prayer is an intimate and personal bond between people and Allah. Through prayer, people express all their troubles and wishes to Allah and implore Him to assist them. In return, Allah answers His servants' prayer.
As said earlier, prayer in the Qur'anic sense can by no means be limited to a few rituals. As the verse "… remember Allah standing, sitting and lying on your sides." (Surat an-Nisa: 103) maintains, one can bring Allah to mind and pray to Him at any time and under all conditions, without necessarily performing any particular ritual or ceremony. That is because what matters is not the outward performance but one's sincerity.
Misunderstanding this strips prayer of its actual meaning and causes it to be perceived as a form of magic or spell. We can see this by the superstitious practices of some ignorant people such as fastening clothes to trees or blowing into water. It is well to remember that superstition is the opposite of the Qur'anic rationale. Instead of directly turning to Allah and asking for their needs from Him, these ignorant people devise some superstitious rituals or symbols and pray through these means. Meanwhile, they are unaware on whom they call. They attribute supernatural power to those objects they pray to, yet they fail to describe the nature of this power. This includes the superstitious practice of visiting tombs and praying to the dead to ask for help, whereas visiting tombs should be to remind us of death and the power of Allah.
A believer who complies with Allah's command which says, "Remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him completely." (Surat al-Muzzammil: 8) turns to Allah alone, and submits and pleads to Him.

GSA Releases Request For Proposals for Telecommunications Services in New York City Metropolitan Area Acquisition
February 26, 1998
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231, or
Phillip Barber (703) 610-2313
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration's Federal Technology Service (FTS) today released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for provision of telecommunications services in the New York City metropolitan area. The New York City Metropolitan Area Acquisition (MAA) procurement is intended to provide up-to-date, cost effective telecommunications services to all Federal agencies and other authorized users.
The MAA program is designed to acquire telecommunications services in metropolitan areas where competition for local business services exist. The necessary conditions for conducting an MAA procurement are: the presence of a large Federal Government population, a favorable regulatory environment, and a large presence of competitive vendors. In addition to New York City, the Chicago and San Francisco metropolitan areas have been designated for MAA procurements. RFPs for those areas are scheduled for the second quarter of calendar year 1998.
The release of the New York City RFP is the second segment of the MAA procurement process. Pre-qualification is the first segment where vendors are evaluated on their ability to meet technical and management requirements stated in the Request for Qualification Statements (RQS), which was released on November 26, 1997. The pre-qualification procedure is a continuing process. The date for receipt of qualification statements for initial pre-qualification consideration is today, February 26, 1998.
The pre-qualification procedure was suggested during discussions with industry regarding the overall FTS strategy. Its purpose is to relieve potential vendors of the necessity to submit proposals for requirements that are common for all MAA procurements.
The RQS defines standard technical and management requirements necessary to provide the basic set of required telecommunications services applicable to all metropolitan areas that are or will be designated for MAA consideration. The RQS contains three mandatory technical services: switched voice, circuit switched data and dedicated transmission.
The release of the RQS followed a period during which written comments were accepted from interested parties and face-to-face meetings were conducted with telecommunications vendors. As a result of this process, significant changes were made to the final document to allow for use of commercial services and practices in response to government requirements.
In the New York City metropolitan area RFP, vendors are evaluated on pricing and area specific technical and management requirements. Comments and questions are requested by March 16, 1998. Proposals are due April 27, 1998.
The New York MAA RFP is available on the Internet at http://www.gsa.gov/maa. For additional contract specific information, call contracting officer Phillip L. Barber on (703) 610-2313.

Get smart about smartphone security
Get smart about smartphone security
By Attorney General Roy Cooper
Technology has made it easier than ever for us to stay connected on the go. More and more North Carolinians rely on smartphones—cell phones that can also connect to the Internet—to keep in touch no matter where they are. These phones are essentially mini-computers, but people may not always remember that when it comes to keeping them secure.
With tech experts predicting that within the next few years a majority of us will use our iPhones and Blackberries rather than computers as our main way to access the Internet, it's time to take smartphone security seriously. Smartphones aren't immune to viruses or hackers, and one recent study by a security company found that people are three times more likely to fall for scam emails when they receive them on their phones than on their computers.
Here's how you can get smart about smartphone security:
Guard it with a password.
Protect your smartphone—and any personal information that could be accessed through it—with a password in case it gets lost or stolen. Avoid using easily available information for your PIN or password such as your mother's maiden name, your birth date, phone number, or a series of consecutive numbers (for example, 1234).
Protect your personal information.
Don't store bank account or credit card numbers, passwords or other financial data on your smartphone. If you use your phone for online banking and other transactions, be sure to use only secure websites.
Be cautious before you click.
Never click on a link or open an attachment unless you know the sender and are sure the message is legitimate. Fraudulent phishing emails can look less dangerous on a smartphone because it's harder to spot the tell-tale signs, such as strange grammar or formatting. Remember, companies with which you do business aren't going to email you to ask for your bank account or Social Security Number.
Check out apps before you download.
There are lots of amazing applications available for smartphones, but some of them can put your privacy at risk. Read privacy policies carefully before you agree to download any app, and remember that apps that claim to be "free" can sometimes have hidden costs.
Watch out for free Wi-Fi.
Many places offer free wireless Internet access, but be careful before you connect. Doing financial business via free Wi-Fi can put your identity and your money at risk of being stolen. Hackers also sometimes set up free wireless hot spots hoping to lure victims. Check to see if your phone allows you to turn off the Wi-Fi function when you aren't using it, which can help protect your information and keep others from using your wireless capability to get online.
Talk to kids about smartphone safety, too.
If your child or teen has a phone with Internet capability, remember that these are miniature computers that give them access to the world. Talk to your kids about staying safe online and the dangers of sharing inappropriate information, whether they're using the family computer or their phone. Tips on
Internet safety
for parents are available at
Keep security in mind for tablets, e-readers.
Many of these same risks and tips apply if you use a tablet computer such as the iPad or an e-reader like the Kindle or Nook.
When it's time for a new phone, scrub your old one clean.
Don't throw away or recycle your old phone until you've removed your personal data. Scrubbing your phone may take several steps, including removing the memory or SIM card. Consult the manual that came with your phone and your cell phone company and/or the phone manufacture to make sure you know exactly what you need to do to clear all personal information.

'Approximately six' habanero peppers cause HAZMAT scare at Denver school
On Monday, when Jefferson County Open School in suburban Denver was evacuated and a hazmat team showed up because of a contamination scare, The Daily Caller was worried.
Turns out, "approximately six" habanero peppers caused the entire kerfuffle, reports Denver ABC affiliate KMGH.
The half dozen habanero peppers were scattered in shreds among the wood chips on the preK-12 school's playground,
The pell-mell pepper pandemonium went down at about 1 p.m. Children playing on the playground began reporting mysterious skin reactions. Seven students ended up in the hospital. Another 23 students and an adult aide were reportedly decontaminated on school grounds.
The decontamination process involved firefighters rinsing and showering children in a makeshift tent on school grounds, notes Denver FOX affiliate KDVR.

A9 TV; 16 September 2011
(About Mr. Adnan Oktar's representatives' meetings in Israel)
We will later look back on these as fine memories. Israel will eventually openly ask to join the Turkish-Islamic Union. It will join the union. There will be peace in the region. Those borders and checkpoints will be abolished. Palestine and Israel will embrace one another. They will live very well and happily, insha'Allah. They will see the fine days of the King Messiah, Mashiach, Hazrat Mahdi (as). They will see Allah's promise come true. They will see that the King Messiah, described in the Torah 3000 years ago, is true in all its details. Their faith and fervor will grow. They will see that what the Messenger of Allah (saas) said is true, and that will also increase their faith. Everyone will be happy. Satan incites blind strife. But the way of the Mahdi will put an end to satan's snares, and we will see this, insha'Allah. Palestine is full of the loveliest people, the children of the Prophet Ishmael (as). Israel is also full of the loveliest people, the children of the Prophet Jacob (as). We will embrace them all and bring ease and delight to them all, insha'Allah.
The way of the Mahdi is gradually moving forward. Openly and positively, with sure steps, before the eyes of the world. And as followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as), we are also gradually advancing, insha'Allah. We will reveal peace and brotherhood to the eyes of the world. We will eradicate conflict, anarchy and terror. We will literally create an earthly paradise. It will literally be like paradise. We will not allow satan in. We will use science to break satan's arms and legs. There is no room for him. We will do this with knowledge, science and love. We will kiss the cheeks of those cute little Israelis. Then there are those cute little Palestinian children running around, as well. We will kiss their cheeks, too. We will bring about peace, love and brotherhood. We want no fighting or bloodshed. We detest bloodshed. We want not a drop of blood to be spilled. Allah says that human beings are created weak. We cannot bear conflict. We will bring out joy and beauty and goodness. Satan will spill no blood of either the children of the Prophet Ishmael (as) or of the Prophet Jacob (as). We will not let him. We will also intellectually annihilate communism insha'Allah.
Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria all have a place in our hearts. I would love to go to Casablanca and chat in that delightful environment. Love improves and beautifies everyone. Those people have been left unguided and bereft of love. They have been oppressed and despised. Allah will restore their honor, virtue and beauty to them. He will further improve and beautify them. You will see, insha'Allah.
Do not sit and argue with people on Facebook. People have a tendency to argue. Allah has revealed that in a verse. "but, more than anything else, man is argumentative" Allah says. That is why they spend two or three hours when they start arguing. You just set the truth out unilaterally. Then they can wriggle all they want. But the truth will always come out.
I will produce a rational counter-explanation to the idea of Hazrat Mahdi (as) prevalent in Shiite and Jafari belief, insha'Allah. I am writing a book about that and we are also preparing a video on the subject. From what I can see, they have produced a conception of Hazrat Mahdi (as) like that in Catholicism. Because we also talk with Catholics. We say, "Jesus the Messiah (as) will come." And they say, "Yes, of course he will." We ask when, and they say, "Just at the time of Reckoning." They also say, "If you want to see the Prophet Jesus (as) Allah will show him to you in your heart and he will come to you." Now these people have that same way of thinking. Just like that among Catholics. They are awaiting Hazrat Mahdi (as) in that sense. Because they have no need for Hazrat Mahdi (as) to come. Because they say, "you see him when you want to." So in their eyes, why should Hazrat Mahdi (as) come? "Because if you want him, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come to you. As an image and a voice. He will do what you want. For example, if you want forty shirts, he will bring them to you," they say. That is the kind of system. Through it, they have already done away with the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as), since in their view there is no need for him to come. Why desire Hazrat Mahdi (as)? Is it not to be able to talk to him and benefit from his ideas? But you already talk with him. He enters every home in spirit form, as an image. He can speak with everyone. As an image or a voice, as you wish. He may appear as an image of a physical form if you wish. "It is unclear when he will come," they say. How is the time of his coming uncertain? What does our Prophet (saas) tell us in the hadiths? What are the portents of the End Times? How can it be at all uncertain? My apologies to those of them who are well-intentioned. Everyone knows how much I respect Shiites and Alawites. Everyone knows I love them. But this is terribly wrong. It is a huge snare for Islam. And I cannot sign up to any threat to Islam. They are acting out of lack of knowledge. But should I turn a blind eye? What can I do? They are unaware of the damage they are causing. Of course, I must warn them. I have also spoken to leading Catholics. They are clearly not expecting the Prophet Jesus (as). Because they say; "you can see him anywhere, whenever you wish, and he will do what you ask, and you can consult him." So why await the Prophet Jesus (as) at all? They are saying the same thing about Hazrat Mahdi (as). They see him, and he comes everywhere. So naturally they have no need for him to come. But I will describe the perils here day and night so everyone can understand. There is no other way, insha'Allah.
The Characteristics of the Followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as)
"They will prefer hunger once Allah has fed them, nakedness after He has clothed them and thirst after He has given them to drink." What is being described here? They have no fear of hunger, beatings, curses or defamation. There are all earthly things. Hunger, thirst and the rest. What does someone who attaches no importance to these things consider? You can kill them or do what you like. Martyr them. They still carry on. That is what it means. Otherwise people may go hungry or thirsty. Irreligious people may also go thirsty. What is described here is the control of the followers of the Mahdi (ad) over their earthly desires, their determination. Take lack of sleep, for instance. A person can go without sleep if he uses his will. Thirst will also have no effect on a person unless he keeps worrying about it. The main thing being described here is how they resist pain and pressure. They withstand defamation and difficulties. That is what is being described. No matter what psychological techniques you apply, they will resist.
"They place their hopes in Allah and abandon these things." Because people always think about getting rich quick. They want a house, a summer house, a winter house, to take an interest in their children, to have a good education, to make lots of money, to eat and drink very luxuriously and the like. The followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will have no such concerns. They are not worried about getting married, or making enough money or getting rich. They are not concerned over summer and winter houses. They have no concerns about checks and IOUs. All they worry about is Islamic Union and the approval of Allah. They turn all their attention to that. Their minds and brains are therefore immaculate. Otherwise, is the brain capable of doing everything? People worry about taking their wives out, taking their children to the doctor, paying the rent, paying their debts, and mending the roof of the summer house, all at the same time. They cannot cope with everything. But what do the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as) do? "O Lord," they say, "we have turned our backs on this world. We seek Your approval alone." What do they concentrate exclusively on? On preaching and the signs leading to faith and on earning the approval of Allah.
"They even abandon lawful things out a fear of being called to account." Marriage is lawful, for instance. But they forego it. A summer house. Having a house is also lawful. Houses appear in the Qur'an. But they are not worried about houses or property. Nor about children. All they seek is the approval of Allah. Because time is short and their means are limited. So what do they do? They concentrate on what will most earn the approval of Allah. For example, I have half an hour and a billion lira. What should I do? Should I get married? Or buy a house? Or do something else? Or seek the approval of Allah? Since they concentrate on the approval of Allah, they spend that half hour on His approval. They spend their money for His approval. They concentrate on what is urgent, where the most of Allah's approval lies. What is most urgent? Someone is dying for instance, and is lying on the ground. Someone has a broken arm. Someone else has toothache. Someone is hungry. Which is most urgent? The person who is dying. To save him. The person with a broken arm can be treated later. The dying man is the urgent one. You cannot abandon him to help the person with toothache, insha'Allah.
Raise your levels of general culture and be mature. Do not go along with aggressive, psychopathic types. Concentrate on love and compassion and forgiveness. On pleasant talk. Let your conversation be pleasant and effective. General culture is particularly important. It is also important to know how to criticize Marxism and Leninism and Darwinism, to know why Darwinism is untrue. Read the Qur'an from end to end. My expositions of the Qur'an are important. Our brothers should read them. But things are going well, masha'Allah, thanks be to Allah. Whatever Allah says, happens. Whatever Allah wishes, that is destiny, and progresses in the finest way. Nothing else can happen in any case, masha'Allah. "Whatever He does, He does well," they say of Almighty Allah.
(About the reports of Prime Minister Erdoğan praying together with thousands of Libyans )
This is very fine news, masha'Allah. There is a warmth, the light of Islamic Union, the joy of Islamic Union everywhere. Has what I said come true? I am not just making things up, am I? I said, "You will see with your own eyes, and I am with you." We are now in 2011. We will see where I am speaking from in 2021. Other great things will happen. You will see in 2021. And even in 2014 and 2017, Allah, Allah, masha'Allah. You will pray, "May Allah be pleased with you, Master. You warned us in good time." My advice is for everyone to make haste to be a follower of Hazrat Mahdi (as). They must pray to Allah. Look. I pray. They must pray, too. And also be followers of Jesus the Messiah (as).
We must have interpreters in many languages. There is no other solution. That will also happen with time. What I say will be simultaneously broadcast in 70 languages. What Hazrat Mahdi (as) says will be broadcast in 120 languages, insha'Allah. You will see, insha'Allah. What Jesus the Messiah (as) says will be broadcast in 120 languages, insha'Allah. Simultaneously, insha'Allah.
Of course Muslims must have a leader, no matter what they say. You cannot have leaderless Muslims. And what harm is there in that? Why should they not have a leader? Muslims must definitely have a leader. There is no need for unnecessary tactics and measures. They will not make Europe at all uneasy. Muslims will only be a danger if they are leaderless. This corruption emerges because they are leaderless. Afghanistan has no leader, Iraq has no leader, and neither do other places. Muslims are trampling one another down. But if they had a leader, he would assume responsibility. "What are you doing?" he will ask. "Behave properly." And that will be that. But Muslims are wretched and miserable like this because they have no leader. The frightening thing is for Muslims to be leaderless. Not them having a leader. That would act as a guarantee. It would mean the world could relax and take it easy. Nothing bad would come of it. But not having a leader is like a cancer. Anarchy begins. Leaderless Islam is like a cancer, a threat, in one sense.
There is therefore nothing wrong in Muslims having a leader. That will make Muslims honorable, strong, healthy, competent and active. It will lead to constant excellent service. But without leadership, you see endless terror, anarchy, corruption, poverty and misery. It cannot happen with a collective personality. But of course Allah will send someone as a leader. Looking at the hadiths we can see that this person is called Hazrat Mahdi (as). Muhammad the Mahdi (as). Our Prophet (saas) tells us these glad tidings. Destiny is now heading in that direction. Destiny is flowing in the direction of Hazrat Mahdi (as). It seems that only Hazrat Mahdi (as) can go down this road. Nobody else. Allah has made the road accordingly. When anyone else tries to go down that road, they catch their arm or leg and cannot make any progress. Allah has created destiny so that only Hazrat Mahdi (as) can go down it and only he can bring that easing. The Islamic world and teachers must pull themselves together. They cannot do anything without Hazrat Mahdi (as). It is impossible for them to choose a leader among themselves. In other words, it is impossible for anyone other than Hazrat Mahdi (as) to be chosen as leader. That has been tried many times. But nobody can agree. They will only accept Hazrat Mahdi (as) as leader.

Dave, I saw several IRT members carrying fake weapons. (Next year I'll carry a notepad to take names.) Other people have reported this as well.
I think the fake gun policy should be looked at. One of the vendors told me--correctly--that when picking up his replica M4 not to point it at anyone. That's just good sense. But I saw several people pointing guns at each other. Now let's say some stupid cosplayer gets it into his head to point his Airsoft AK-47 at a Rosemont PD officer and gets blown away because the cop isn't taking a chance. (Since I had a realistic looking sniper rifle pointed at me during the con, and heard some nasty things said in the direction of RPD officers, this is far from an unlikely scenario.)
Hotel security at the Hyatt and at every hotel I've worked out never carried anything besides nightsticks. I don't understand the reasoning why some IRT members feel the need to look like they're running convoys into Iraq. A person who doesn't feel complete without a toy assault rifle has problems to begin with and shouldn't be working IRT anyway. A good litmus test for IRT might be "If this was a real gun with live rounds, would this staffer's idea of crowd control be opening fire into the crowd?" If the answer's yes, then they don't need to be on staff.
On another note, I wanted to cut and paste this from another thread:
This may have been done already, but what might help IRT is to break the con into sectors with set teams in those areas with a set chain of command. If people need to leave the line, the IRT guys supervising the reg areas could report back to their superior, who could keep a running tally (here is where the bathroom passes would be a superb idea).
It would also help IRT if they put their most inexperienced people in areas that need the least experience with the least amount of stress. Put your most experienced people in areas of high stress (Masquerade/AH lines, reg area, roving patrols). Team your noobs with veterans who can keep things under control. Limit shifts to a four-on, four-off schedule (or eight-on, eight-off) so no one is getting overworked. That actually would work just as well with the other departments as well. Rotating people in and out would keep them fresh. You'd be surprised how even a one-hour break can recharge the batteries and get people back in a mood to help congoers rather than commit premeditated murder.

Bats power Saints past Tornados, 6-1February 22, 2012
Stuart scores in Brevard loss at Bob Prevatte Field
Gaffney, S.C. - A pair of home runs led host Limestone past visiting Brevard on Wednesday afternoon, spoiling a dominant start by Zach Joyce as the Tornados fell on the road at Bob Prevatte Field, 6-1.
Joyce took the loss to fall to 0-2 on the year despite a strong outing as he struck out five while allowing a pair of runs on three hits and two walks in six innings of work. Cody Queen led Brevard at the plate with an RBI single while Champ Stuart scored the lone BC run in the contest.
Zach Howard opened the scoring for the Saints (5-6) in the bottom of the second, following Josh Lyon's walk by driving a ball over the left field fence to put Limestone up 2-0.
Brevard (4-7) touched Limestone starter Zach Lucas in the fifth inning, recording three consecutive two-out singles as Stuart, Eric Renegar and Queen recorded base hits with the final bringing in Stuart to cut the lead in half.
Limestone put the game out of reach in the home half of eighth after a single by Casey Seay put runners on the corners with one out and Lyon coming to bat. Lyon powered the Saints out to a comfortable 6-1 cushion with a three-run blast over the centerfield fence to put the game out of reach in favor of Limestone.
Brevard returns home to Gil Coan Field on Friday, February 17th as the Tornados welcome Lenoir-Rhyne for the start of a three-game South Atlantic Conference series. First pitch in the opening nine-inning contest between the Tornados and the Bears is set for 2 p.m.

Mines hosts 30th Oil Shale Symposium Oct. 18-22
GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 14, 2010 – Juhan Parts, the Estonian minister of Economic Affairs and Telecommunications, will discuss the place of oil shale in the country's energy future during the opening session of the 30th Oil Shale Symposium at Colorado School of Mines on Oct. 18. Estonia is one of three countries in the world that currently produces oil from oil shale.
Mines Provost Steven Castillo will introduce the minister, who is also a former prime minister, as the session kicks off at 1 p.m. at the Green Center, 924 16th St.
Along with Parts, the opening sessions of the symposium will include a talk on the status of U. S. Department of the Interior activities in oil shale by Mitchell Leverette, chief of the Solid Minerals Division at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), as well as talks on programs in China, Australia, Israel, Jordan and Morocco.
The Oil Shale Symposium is the premier international conference on the development of oil shale, which could potentially add another three trillion barrels of oil to global resources. Half of the world's known resources of shale oil are contained in the Green River Formation, which occurs in northwestern Colorado, northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming.
More than 250 delegates from 15 countries outside North America and 23 states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada are expected to attend sessions on science, engineering, environmental, socioeconomic and policy issues relating to potential production of oil from oil shale.
For more information, see the symposium web site.

With Republicans, that has meant Rasmussen, obviously, and Gallup.
Rasmussen: Well I think the situation in the Netherlands is unique and very much influenced by domestic political factors.
The Rasmussen tracking numbers for Sunday told a different story than most: They gave Romney a 47-46 advantage.
Not anymore: A Rasmussen poll out last week now shows Pryor ahead by a whisker, and the race is now essentially a tie.
Even so, the polls are close--dead heat-ish, with one from Rasmussen naturally giving Walker an edge.
I dare say Rasmussen's widow would like as many as we can catch.
"Don't fall," said Rasmussen, who was still sitting there with the thermometer in his hand.
He sent Garth to his lodgings, with orders to come to Rasmussen's at six the next morning.
Mr. Rasmussen: What is the spray for the cabbage and onion maggot?
I can never forget how we wronged him, when Rasmussen was injured and died, and how noble he has always been!

Benz to Bimmer
Ok, so I've driven MBZez for YEARS and have always been very happy with them. Of course, I've always wanted a rock solid, sturdy, sure-footed, yet fast and powerful ride. And back in the day (mid 90s), when I tested BMWs against the Benzes, the Stuttgart steel always won. It was true the that Munich machines were more sporty and nimble, but to me, just not as "solid" as I liked. Plus, it always seemed that the Bimmers didn't age as well; cracked rubber, peeled paint, yellowed details, and more cracks in the dash than in the floor of the Mojave dessert!
By the turn of the century (not THAT century, blokes!), I was getting a little tired of the heavy SL, and thought that the SLK would to be the ticket, especially in light of the fact that it had that nifty vario roof. The car looked kinda cool too. I tried the Z4, but it was just a nick too small, and I didn't love the way it looked, especially with the rag top up. While it was super fun to drive, it was a bit too "raw" for me, and lacked the "refinement" that was in the Benz. The drive of the SLK? More fun than the SL, but not as sturdy or fast. Got it anyway, and really liked it.
Then, a few years later, while it was parked, the SLK got smashed to smithereenz by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. Luckily, I had kept the SL.
So after driving the good ol' big benz roadster for awhile, I thought it was time for a more "fun" car again. A friend told me I should try the Z4. I told him that I had, and it was great, but just not for me. He then replied, "Have you checked out the NEW one?" I said, "The new one?" He returned, "Yeah, they're great!". So I headed over to the local dealer. The minute I saw it, I said to myself, "Wow, they really got it right this time!". Of course, that only pertained to the looks of the thing. So rather than test drive it, I scurried out of the joint, and decided to test drive all of the other similarly-classed competition first. This included the Audi TT, Porsche Boxster, and the 2012 SLK. Without getting into a Car-And-Driver styled review, I'll just say that for me, of the above three, the SLK won. That's just based on my style of driving and aesthetics which blends sheer fun with a degree of refinement and elegance. Sure, the Boxster kicked the crap out of all the rest when it came to b***s-to-the-wall sports car enthusiasm. But the SLK was no slouch, and I really liked the "feel" of it. I almost bought it right then and there. But I knew that I had to go back and drive the Z, especially since I actually preferred its looks to the SLK, AND the price was better. (And remember, I'm a Benz guy!)
Right away, I was really surprised at the degree of refinement and comfort that was in the Baby Bimmer. No loss of lux here at all. Then came the drive...... I first tired the 35si. Great, and really fast, but MPG was low and for me, it was a bit "too much", but certainly mouth-wateringly aggressive. So I then tried the 30si. Ok, bye bye Benz, sorry! The thing was just a blast to drive! It was right in that "goldilocks" zone for me. Not too raw like the Boxster, and not too tame like the SLK tended to be. A really great blend.
So for the first time, I've gone over to the "other side", and so far, it's intoxicating!

Welcome to the world of BMW. I am just getting in a Z4 myself, but I am coming from a 328xi so not much change when it comes to the feel of the vehicle and I also have the same engine as my previous one except I now have an additional 25 HP. Hope you enjoy your ride enough to keep you happy for years to come.

Hi ! Welcome. Funnily I went through your process some time back when I eventually bought a BMW 6 series (Still the best car I have ever owned)(had had various Mercedes including AMG) but then I decided on a two seater convertible and went through the process again.
Tried the Porsche and the SLK but not the TT! looked at a couple of others but came to the conclusion that firstly the cabin on the Z4 is the best place to be, the drive and power trade off from the Boxster and the SLK AMG was worth the lower power of the 3.0ltr. Overall I felt far more comfortable in the Z4. My car is quite highly specd! Having owned it now for a few months you will not be disappointed, the girl can lift her skirts when she wants to push it! with the added Sports mode you can have some fun, very few of us have the skill to push these cars consistently to the limits, and on today's roads limited opportunity.....Sadly I have been spanked a couple of times by straight line speed from traffic lights but not enough to embarrass me!!!!! There will always be someone with that extra oomph!!!
One of the other reasons I dropped away from Mercedes was actually very poor reliability across a number of models, even when Mercedes damaged one car and were never able to repair it properly (SLK AMG new roof).
Always said I would go back to a 6 series

When I bought the Enter Tech Magic Sing Tagalog Song Chip, I became
famous with my friends. I'm famous in a sense that they always consider me
especially when there are gatherings. They would always ask me to bring
my Magic Karaoke Mic along with the Chip every time we meet. Most of
the time, they would also prefer to stay at home just to sing our
favorite Tagalog songs.
This product is really great. The songs in this chip are exceptionally
within our generation. It even helped us minimize our expenses from
going to other expensive gimmick places. Now, we enjoy singing all day
long without worrying it's getting late at night.
I love it.
Since they invented this Karoake Microphones only my life went from sad to happy. I recommend everyone 100% to buy one, which my friends have and I...

text: Remember how Jennifer Lopez needed a distraction from the Casper Smart mess and Maksim was in India so Jennifer's publicists leaked how the pair were dating and made sure everyone knew how close they had come during a rehearsal and performance. That was it, but it got the tabloids to jump. Now you have Joe Manganiello who is promoting his new movie and had a career change over the weekend and Sofia Vergara who is trying to get away from the talk of Nick Loeb. It is perfect for publicists. A match made in heaven. You release some stories about how Joe has had a crush on Sofia for ages and they are perfect for each other and forget how two days ago the tabloids were trying to tell us how Nick and Sofia were holed up in New Orleans trying to make things work. Do I think Joe would date her? Yep. Do I think Sofia would date Joe? After she breaks up and gets back together with Nick a million more times, then maybe.

I attempted another dictonary of 10,000 works again just would not search it...
It doesn't even attempt to search for the key
Where is should come up with:
Master KEY:

We're these files made in windows or linux? You may need something like dos2unix if they were made in windows. Also keep them below 2GB for aircrack-ng.

The movie adaptation of the book, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is similar to
its paper counterpart but quite different at the same time. For one to understand a
critique of the movie, one must first understand the characters and the stories
behind the character. The director, Niels Arden Oplev, is successful in converting
Stieg Larsson's story onto the big screen and thus does a sufficient job in filling
in the audience without taking up too much screen space.
A reoccurring theme that
can be found throughout Stieg Larsson's writings is violence against women. The
original title to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was actually Men Who Hate Women, a
title for a film that is reflective of the author's personal thoughts, but was too
racy for a big screen movie title. This brings us to another racy subject, the main
character of the movie, Lisbeth Salander (played by Noomi Rapace). Salander is
anything but a pushover in this movie, a girl who has an uncanny ability to hack
computers while donning dark black leather garb that is reminiscent of the character
Trinity of the Matrix. Her character must be approached in a delicate manner as it
takes a lot to peel the many layers of Lisbeth Salander. Her history adds to her
stereotypically unpleasant personality for a young woman, a personality that is
aggressive and definitely not pg-13.
Salander is paired up in the movie with Mikael
Blomkvist (played by Michael Nyqvist), a shunned journalist banned from the world of
journalism from writing one exposé too many. Their tale of connection begins by
getting raped by her probation officer, leading to her revolting back by essentially
raping him, leading him to give her control of her money, in which she buys a laptop
that she uses to hack into Blomkvist's computer. Ironically, this act of deceit
actually brings the two even closer and eventually inspires him to adopt her as an
investigative partner. The story begins when the shunned journalist is hired by the
head of Vanger Enterprises, Henrik Vanger, to solve the forty-year old mystery of
his missing niece. The story of his missing niece ties into a whole web of lies and
mysteries that all seem to intertwine in some initially trivial way that sucks the
detective duo in to solve the mystery.
The movie itself is one of great length. The
running time for this film is officially capped off at a hundred and forty eight
minutes, but feels like a four-hour movie. Although the film itself can be
interesting to some, a few may find it difficult to sit through a gloomy film of
this sort for over two hours at a time.

Hiram E. Chodosh, dean of the University of Utah's law school since 2006, will leave in July to become president of Claremont McKenna College in California.
The private school's board of trustees on Thursday selected Chodosh, pulling him away from the U.'s S.J. Quinney College of Law just as the school moves forward with building a new home.
"I have learned so much from each of you, treasure the friendships we've made, and feel so much pride in all we have accomplished together. I will forever be in awe of the College's service-driven students, dedicated staff, and brilliant faculty," Chodosh, a leading scholar in judicial reform, wrote to colleagues and students.
Claremont McKenna (CMC) is a member of The Claremont Colleges, a consortium of seven independent institutions in Claremont, near Los Angles. The selective college, established in 1946, is an independent and residential liberal arts college now serving 1,200 students.
Campus leaders said Chodosh was the unanimous choice of trustees because of his "two-fold career" as a scholar with six books to his credit and as an administrator.
"He is not only a brilliant academic and highly respected administrator, but also has the energy and creative spirit that marks a true educational innovator," said trustees chairman Harry McMahon in a statement.
"Hiram understands that a strong liberal arts education is the foundation for producing the next generation of leaders who will make a difference in the world," McMahon said. "His own impressive career exemplifies the unique mission of CMC: combining the liberal arts with real world and public policy experience. We are all looking forward to working with him."
Chodosh, 50, is a graduate of Wesleyan who earned his law degree at Yale. Besides serving the U. as law dean, he also occupies the Hugh B. Brown Presidential Endowed Chair and advises the president on global strategy. During his U. tenure, he helped establish new research centers in biomedical sciences and the law, innovation in legal education, global justice, criminal justice and veterans' studies.
U. President David Pershing praised Chodosh's contributions to the U. law school, which celebrates its centennial next year.
"He led the initiative to create a new and innovative facility for the Quinney College of Law and has been instrumental in the development of the University's new Global Initiative," Pershing said in a statement. "On behalf of the entire U. community, I want to thank him for his leadership and wish him great success in his new role in Southern California."
What's next
P The University of Utah plans a national search for a new dean for its S.J. Quinney College of Law. Officials hope to have a new dean selected by next summer's centennial celebration.

His real intent was to have the AOP rushing wildly after him (like a bull) and to defeat it piecemeal. Sending a force into Harrisburg was a good idea. Preferably cavalry. But it made no sense for him to get a slow moving force trapped on the East side of the Susquehanna until AFTER he'd sent the AOP home with its tail between its legs. (Then he could move on to Boston, Buffalo, Syracuse or wherever.) Of course, things never got that far, but I think he would have "sacked" Harrisburg, wrecked the railroad, burned the warehouses, and waited for the inevitable reaction- but waited on the West side of the river.

Lee's Lieutenants, Vol III, p. 137. • Lee: "To-morrow, gentlemen, we will not move to Harrisburg as expected, but will go over to Gettysburg and see what General Meade is after." Gettysburg Nobody Knows, pp 110-111. • Lee was going to Harrisburg. So say the document and spontaneous utterances. He changed his mind because of a lack of cavalry to block the passes.

Lee was going to Harrisburg (and other points east of the Susquehanna)--and he was taking a lot of infantry with him. Regards, George 26ª11'56"N 81ª48'19W"


text: After a decade out of the spotlight except when she was gaining weight and people made fun of her, Danielle is back now and bigger than ever. Well, if you count being on a sequel to Boy Meets World and on Disney. Hey, it is something. And because it is something, the world also gets to know things like she just graduated from college. I think that is great. She went back at 27 and now, 4 years later she graduated. She also got engaged in July. So, really she shows that you don't need to be on television to have a great life after you have been told you are just not right for a part a hundred times. To me, her living right and doing the right thing for the past decade is the reason she ended up having a chance when this sequel came along. Do you think they would have cast her if she turned out to be Lindsay Lohan? Let me ask it this way. When they inevitably get around to making another Love Bug movie, do you think Lindsay will be invited?

Securing the Internet: Toward a secure future
Patrolling the edges, rethinking the core, Princeton researchers envision a more secure Internet
Felten, Lee, Peterson, and Rexford are by no means the only researchers at Princeton Jennifer Rexford wrestling with security and information technology. Paul Prucnal and members of his lab are building stealth communications networks with optics. Niraj Jha recently received a major National Science Foundation grant for building architectures for secure embedded systems. Hisashi Kobayashi and Mung Chiang have concentrated their powerful analytical skills on various aspects of communications security. Robert Tarjan is conceptalizing trustworthy systems with well-understood security and privacy properties. Andrew Appel is casting a vigilant eye on electronic voting security. David Walker is pursuing secure software applications. Boaz Barak is working in fundamental cryptography. And H. Vincent Poor is exploring the potential of the physical medium itself or providing security in wireless communications, the use of which continues to increase dramatically as wireless brings new communications capability to the world..
It is precisely the unfettered proliferation of inspired yet divergent research agendas—epitomized by the work currently under way at Princeton—that offers the promise of security to our ever-increasingly networked world.
In certain respects, all of these researchers are intellectual heirs of Robert Kahn, one of the cofounders of the Internet and a Princeton alumus (Kahn earned his graduate degree in electrical engineering from Princeton in 1964). Like Kahn, they are boldly challenging the status quo, imagining new possibilities. At a recent event at Princeton, Kahn posed the following provocative question: Just how will the research community—where many of the really innovative ideas have originated—influence the future of the Internet, now that it is so deeply insinuated into our society? "That," he observed, "is one of the more interesting problems of our time."

Is Justin Bieber looking to buy Neverland Ranch?
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber has reportedly set his sights on Neverland Ranch, the former estate of Michael Jackson.
According to "Sunday People," the 19-year-old pop star recently sent some of his people out to the California mansion and is thinking about buying it for himself. A source tells the tabloid Bieber's team "genuinely fear for him" and think that relocating to a home a few hours from central Los Angeles will help keep him out of trouble.
Apparently his team also believes it will also put more of a distance between him and the paparazzi.
The source says since Neverland is for sale and Bieber considers Michael "his idol," moving to the ranch is "a no-brainer" for him.
Justin is currently based in Calabasas, where he's found himself in legal trouble with some of his neighbors who have complained about his speeding in the family neighborhood.
Bieber isn't the first star to express interest in buying up Neverland Ranch. Lady Gaga was reportedly interested as well, but only as an investment to secure the future of Michael's three children.

Benjamin Franklinstein Lives! Wherein is Contained an Accounting of the Preparation, Suspension, and Eventual Reawakening of the Subject in Modern Day, and His Quest to Discover the Great Emergency
Reading Level: Grades 3 - 6
You've heard of Benjamin Franklin. You know, the guy from like, the 1700s, you know, famous for being in the thunderstorm with the kite and the key, discovering electricity? Yeah, him. That guy. He's been dead for what, like three hundred years? Think again.
Victor Godwin is smarter than most people he knows. Definitely smarter than the weatherman, who's predicted sunny days when Victor knows mathematically that there's a 92% chance of rain. A million times smarter than his best friend Scott Weaver, who made a super-charged potato battery by putting batteries inside of a raw potato and painting it exciting colors. (In case you are wondering, the potato explodes in the middle of class.) Then a thunderstorm that seems only to affect Victor's house changes everything. Soon a strange man who looks and dresses like Benjamin Franklin moves into Victor's house as a tenant. He says he's an actor, but he paid his entire first year's rent in heavy gold coins, marked 1783. What kind of actor never takes off his costume, and pays for things in eighteenth-century doubloons? Frank Benjamin, downstairs tenant at the Godwin's house, that's who. Then Victor discovers what's really going on...

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
What Unites Pete King and Keith Ellison, D.C. Spy Games and More in Capital Eye Opener: March 7
March 7, 2011 | Your daily dose of news and tidbits from the world of money in politics.
Congressmen's Taxpayer-Funded Vehicles Reveal Hodgepodge of Fuel Efficiency, Government Transparency
August 24, 2010 | Congressional members' vehicles are hardly created equal when it comes to how much you, as a taxpayer, are subsidizing them. What's equally unequal: How much information members of the U.S. House of Representatives are willing to reveal about the wheels you're providing them.
Tea Party Caucus Members Bankrolled by Health Professionals, Retirees, Oil Interests
July 30, 2010 | A Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows that the biggest contributors to the 49 members of the newly-established congressional Tea Party caucus -- it so far includes only Republican -- are health professionals, retired individuals, the real estate industry and oil and gas interests. Furthermore, donations from health professionals, oil and gas interests and Republican and conservative groups are, on average, higher for Tea Party caucus members than for members of the House of Representatives in general and even their fellow House Republicans.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
Committee Members Speak Out–Or Stay Mum–On Health Care
July 9, 2009 | Over the past three weeks, Capital Eye has contacted members of five Capitol Hill committees responsible for drafting health care reform legislation this summer. Here are their responses (and non-responses) and the money they're collecting from various industries.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies.
