Tomato Salad with Oil-Free Vinaigrette
Fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes add so much nutrition to a gluten-free diet — however, their flavor is the main reason I eat them, and I enjoy fresh tomato recipes like this salad. One way to serve them, alone or with other vegetables, is with one of my favorites, this gluten-free salad dressing.
Kale Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Somewhere during the day I need to have a crisp salad. Whether it's at lunch or a between meal snack or at dinner, a salad is a major part of my gluten-free diet. The bold flavor of raw kale goes well with the sweet and tangy flavors of carrot, tomato, onion and more, for a pick-me-up to even the most ordinary day.
Napa Cabbage Slaw with Red Wine Vinaigrette
A salad with napa cabbage has a more tender texture and a milder, sweeter flavor than most types of American cabbage. And, to make it even better, its vitamins and minerals make it a healthy addition to a gluten-free diet.
Quinoa Salad with Cucumber, Onion, Parsley & Tomato
For a fast and filling salad, quinoa provides lots of gluten-free nutrition. Although it is quick and easy to cook, like rice or pasta, quinoa is actually the seeds of a plant which is not really in the cereal family.
When I make quinoa, I often make a double recipe so I'll have the leftover to make this salad the next day. It's so easy!

I just hope that at the very end Naruto survives the final war and makes a family, because seeing again child Naruto parentless while paying attention to the other kids with their mothers was so heartbreaking and depressing.

hmm not really. I think the entire situation that Konoha village put them both through really caused Sasuke to want to destroy the village. Wouldn't say that he is evil. Seeing that this isn't a ghost in the shell where it will go in and have real revolutionaries. I would say Sasuke and Itachi were more victims. I don't see any evil in either of them.

- Kill Sasuke along with everyone else; - Let Sasuke live and make himself the bad guy so Sasuke can live peacefully in the village. He didn't have many choices to begin with and any other course of action would screw Sasuke even further from an earlier age. Give the guy a break huh...he had to kill his whole family while coming up with a way to give his brother a better life than he had. Not his fault that Sasuke's an idiot emo boy...

Sasuke has become an enraged dog that should be put down for the safety of the rest of the world but Itachi is entirely responsible for that. |

glad fillers are over so soon! so what's with blowing up the kage monument in the intros? it's become a running gag. shouldn't it be more revered? ah well... I really liked this episode. it was well put together and got me pumped up for the war. The speech was done perfectly and kabuto's setup of the ETs was done well too. The use of some of the less likely characters like Dan and Sai' brother didn't really bother me like it did in the manga (of course this is due to me being used to it for so long for the most part) but still I think the show made their appearance less awkward

So the war is about to begin.
Akatsuki is using the reanimated shinobi as their commandos. That is so not good, but those 100 000 clones are even worse. Seems like this war will be very interesting and intense. What shinobi forces are missing the most is unity.

Bangalore/Haveri: KJP President BS Yeddyurappa on Wednesday claimed some BJP leaders are competing with each other to unseat Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar from power. (Agencies) Latest News from India News Desk
"There are some BJP leaders competing with each other to dethrone Shettar," the former chief minister, who broke away from the BJP to head the Karnataka Janata Paksha, told reporters here.
Reacting to former Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda's remarks that the resignation of BJP MLAs close to Yeddyurappa would not affect the government, KJP chief said, "Let him say what he wants to say, but I will do what I have to do."
Yeddyurappa said a final decision on whether to bring down the Shettar government would be taken at an executive committee meeting of the KJP here on January 4.
He also said the state would witness "important political changes" after Sankranti festival (January 14).
Yeddyurappa reiterated that the BJP government had lost the right to present the next year's budget as it was "losing numbers" with each passing day.
In another development, BJP MLA Nehru Olekar told reporters in Haveri that the Shettar government would collapse after January 15.
Olekar, also the Chairman of the SC/ST Development Corporation and a staunch loyalist of Yeddyurappa, claimed that at least 25 to 30 MLAs were ready to quit enmasse and a decision on it would be taken at the KJP Executive on January 4.

In an effort to talk a little more about what we're up to at work it seems only right to mention the new Government Service Design Manual (and accompanying Digital by Default Service Standard). Their release is the next step in the Government Digital Strategy, providing a guide to what "digital services so good that people prefer to use them"
look like and a framework to assess whether new services are ready to launch.
We've released the Manual as a public beta because we want to get as much input as we can from our colleagues within government and around the wider community that builds services for the modern world. Like many others at GDS, I've spent a lot of time over the past few months writing up what I've learned about building for the web and making things within government, and it's great to see that content getting better thanks to all the feedback we're getting.
So please let us know what you think. We accept Github Pull Requests or feedback through a few other routes. There are also more words about the whole thing in Richard's piece about where this came from, Andrew's piece on beta testing the standard, and Gareth's piece on the 'devops' flavoured content.

Story highlights
- There's an art to giving the perfect wedding toast and a whole lot of pitfalls as well
- Don't: Try out your poetic stylings, use blue language or get too in-jokey
- Do: Keep it short, sweet and from the heart
- At the end of the wedding day, it's all about the couple, so let your toast reflect that
When Bill Murray delivered an impromptu toast to a rowdy bachelor party in Charleston, South Carolina, last weekend, he gave poignant and charming advice for everyone but the groom.
If you "have someone that you think is the one," he said, "and travel around the world ... if when you come back ... you're still in love with that person, get married at the airport."
Murray's remarks were rewarded with thunderous applause, shouting and an "Amen" from one of the party-goers.
As far as toasts go, he nailed it.
Delivering the perfect toast is a skill honed over time and with practice -- which is unfortunate, since you'll probably be tapped for this honor on only a few occasions over your lifetime. Even more unfortunately, nothing can bring a wedding reception or rehearsal dinner to a grinding halt quite like a bad toast.
We have both have been part of more wedding parties than we care to remember (and thanks to Champagne and open bars, more than we are able to remember). When it comes to the toast, we've seen them all: a few triumphs, some that were simply unremarkable and forgettable, and a lot of bombs.
The types of best men and maids of honor are varied, but they all seem to fall into familiar categories -- as do the pitfalls of the toast they deliver. You've probably seen some of these yourself, and you might even be one of the offenders:
The Frat Bro
Probably the only time you'll be exposed to these toasts will be at weddings occurring soon after college. This toast is easily recognized by the exclamations of "dude!" peppered throughout as well as the inappropriate recalling of drunken tales from freshman year.
The Safety in Numbers
Public speaking is nerve-wracking, we get it. But calling for reinforcements usually just highlights the disparity between speakers and winds up being a game of hot potato of bridesmaids passing the microphone back and forth awkwardly. Go it alone, or don't go it all.
The Edgar Allen NO
Poems can be cute and poems can be cool, but giggling through a poem -- and proving you know how to rhyme -- only makes you sound like a tool.
The Edgar Allen No/Safety in Numbers Combo
What's worse than a nervous bridesmaid giggling through a poem? Two of them doing so as they alternate stanzas. Passing a piece of paper back and forth is distracting, and no matter how thoughtful the written message, it will be lost in the delivery.
The Inside Joker
The inside joker doesn't seem to get that inside jokes work only for those who are in on the joke. Rule: If you have to say "I guess you had to be there," then I guess you should leave it out.
The Overly Emotional
This "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" feels like she's losing her best friend while wearing a hideous dress and being reminded that she's nowhere close to walking down the aisle herself. She's understandably emotional but wants to uncomfortably choke through her remarks to let everyone know how incredibly happy she is for her friend.
The Amateur Comedian
Don't mistake the role of toast-giver for Roast Master General. You are not going to be discovered or tapped for "Saturday Night Live" based on your performance, so save the comedy routine for open-mic night. (Is this thing on?)
The Wildly Inappropriate
No blue language in front of anyone's GamGam, fellas. You're in a tuxedo, for crying out loud, so keep it classy. And whatever you do, don't get drunk beforehand. Need a little liquid courage to take the edge off? Fine, but know your limit. The bar will still be open afterward.
So how do you avoid becoming one of these offenders? Consider these "do's" and "don'ts," and you can't go wrong:
DO understand what is expected of you
Maybe the wedding party is expecting toasts at the rehearsal dinner; maybe the parents and maid of honor or best man are the only ones slated to speak; maybe the couple isn't interested in toasts at all. Find out before you arrive to each wedding function what your friends are expecting of you so that you can prepare ahead of time. Ask the wedding planner or deejay if there will be a podium or a microphone so you can plan accordingly.
DO keep it simple (and short)
Remember, it's a toast, not a speech. Speeches are for politicians and football coaches. Wedding toasts are short and sweet ways to honor others in a thoughtful but concise fashion. How do you pack in enough thoughtfulness and personality without lulling the room to sleep? Read on.
DON'T be afraid to be creative
And if you are thinking that means a poem, see above. Ideally, you'll want to tell a quick story or anecdote involving the people getting married. Don't have a sweet or funny one? Don't have one at all? Then exercise some creative license and go ahead and embellish if you need to; no one will fact check you. It's the sentiment that's important.
DON'T read straight from notes
Reading straight from a script is unengaging, and you should be more thoughtful to the person who thought enough of you to tap you for this honor. If you aren't looking up at your audience, attention will quickly turn elsewhere, most likely to a plate of tough chicken or a wine glass. If having a piece of paper with bullet points helps calm your nerves, fine, but speak from the heart and directly to the happy couple, and you can't go wrong.
DON'T announce how nervous you are
What's the point of that? If you are nervous, the heavy breathing, stammering and sweating will make that obvious enough -- saying it won't serve any purpose other than to tell the audience, "This is going to suck. I apologize in advance." It takes the focus away from the couple and puts it on you -- and it's not about you.
DO acknowledge the parents of both parties
They're probably paying for that top-shelf bourbon you're headed straight for right after you're done.
DON'T be so specific
Don't get tripped up on trivial details. Saying "our friendship dates all the way back to 2007" triggers calculations and runs the risk of eliciting a "I've had relationships with bunions longer than you two" from a cantankerous uncle. Quantifying or qualifying your relationship for the sake others serves no purpose; obviously, you are close to the betrothed. You wouldn't be up there if you weren't.
DO speak slowly and enunciate
When you are nervous, words come out a lot faster than you realize, and if people can't understand you, they are going to tune out.
DO let moments breathe
Whether they're laughs, applause or "awwwwws," let them marinate for a few moments before moving on to your next line. Doing this will not only let what you just said to soak in, it will give you a second or two to glance down at your cheat sheet.
DON'T be afraid to call an audible
No matter how much you plan and practice, no matter how you think your toast is going to go ahead of time, there can always be circumstances beyond your control that you simply must embrace. Maybe the weather didn't cooperate, maybe a mother-in-law fainted, maybe the minister's fly was down during the ceremony. No matter what it is, be nimble enough to adjust as needed.
At the end of the wedding day, no matter how nervous you are, think about this: It's nothing compared to what your buddy is going through.
Years of Pinterest-pinning preparation, saving, spending, intra-family bickering, meetings, fittings and tastings have all been endured for this one day. People have traveled from far and wide to be there for them, to celebrate the happy couple. No one goes to a wedding because of who is giving the toast.
When you look at it that way, your task becomes simple -- so don't screw it up.
Got a formula for the perfect toast? We'd love to hear it in the comments below.

Valentine's Day makeup should be all about the lips, according to celebrity makeup artist Christopher Drummond.
Here are five tips from Christopher on how to get the perfect Valentine's Day look.
5 Tips for Your Valentine's Day Lips:
Luscious Lip Gloss by Christopher Drummond
- Valentine's Day is all about kissing the one you love. Be sure to keep your lips hydrated with shea butter. This natural ingredient keeps your lips smoother longer than petroleum.
- Use your lip liner on top of lipstick. This helps to avoid the oblivious line around the lips when your gloss comes off. Lining after your lip color also allows for easier application and blendability.
- To feel more romantic, use naturally scented lip products.
- For fuller lips, add shimmer (like Christopher Drummond's Relache Ice Eye Shadow) to the inner lips to create the illusion of fullness.
Are you going to rock some red hot lips this Valentine's Day?

I've checked what is perhaps the definitive reference dictionary of goddesses: *Goddesses in World Mythology: A Biographical Dictionary* by Martha Ann and Dorothy Myers Imel, and there is no mention of any goddess named "Condra" in there. I also tried alternate spellings of that name with no luck. Sorry.Perhaps PriaposLovs may be familiar with that name, seeing as how you say it's supposed to be of Greek origin.

10. Intel
Like many IT companies, Intel has seen its fair share of changes this year. In January, Intel restructured its executive team, appointing Brian Krzanich, former senior vice president of worldwide manufacturing, as chief operating officer. The bigger change, of course, is that Intel CEO Paul Otellini (pictured) will be stepping down next May, ending a nearly 40-year run with the company. Otellini's decision apparently came as a surprise, judging from what Intel Chairman and former CFO Andy Bryant told Barron's in the wake of the announcement.
"I did everything I can think of to buy myself another year [of Otellini's leadership]," Bryant told Barron's. "We were targeting further out for [his retirement]."
Otellini earlier this month said he expects his successor will come from within Intel, but in the meantime, some analysts are pumping the brakes on recommending Intel shares until the leadership success picture gets clearer.

He has deserted his regiment in the clash and horror of battle, deluding himself with specious arguments of self-preservation, only to discover that his group has won the day. He finds himself among the wounded, and they treat him as though he is wounded himself, which fills him with shame at his cowardice and desertion. He goes back to his comrades, vowing to cleanse himself through bravery in battle. He redoubles his assault on the Confederate foe, grasping the standard of battle from a dying man and carrying it bravely forward. At last, his conscience is clear, and his self-inflicted wound of cowardice has been healed. |

Life can get hectic. Meetings, deadlines, pressure, decisions to make, ugh. So it's nice to be able to grab your phone for a few moments and just get away from it all. Games are great for that -- working out your aggression with a game like Dead Trigger 2 can be fun -- but sometimes you might want something a bit more mellow than a bunch of blood-thirsty zombies trying to kill you.
The three channels below are full of apps and games that can help you relax, perhaps even replenish some energy, and then get back into the good fight. Enjoy.
This is actually the channel that inspired me to write this roundup. While editor Nicolai Grut doesn't bill it as a "relaxing" channel, I think it certainly is: Take Flux, for example, about which Nicolai says:
Manipulate beautiful geometric patterns with your fingers. Hypnotic
The channel doesn't have a ton of apps, but like Nicolai told me when chatting about it, it's not a niche that's bursting with alternatives. Having a few great toy-like apps collected and reviewed in one place is great if you're looking for a new way to doodle on your phone.
One of Playboard's oldest and most prolific editors, App Junkie created Zen Apps explicitly for collecting and curating relaxing apps. The channel has amassed over 1,500 followers, and features fun gems like music toy NodeBeat, and ambient game Finger Hoola, about which App Junkie says:
Fun and immersive app toy that will engross and mesmerize you. Beautifully programmed and designed.
"App toy" is a great description for these kinds of apps, by the way.
Our final channel is another one that doesn't necessarily pop out as a relaxing channel, and yet, coding can be a very relaxing thing, when you think about it. At least, when I tinker with code every now and then, I find it quite easy to slip into a very concentrated, relaxed state. So why not make it into a game?
Editor Deaken Wylie included some truly unique gems here, and his reviewing style is very readable, too. Check out what he has to say about DungeonDiary:
Install this game. You program a girl who crawls a dungeon to pay back a $30M debt. Once you do, the REAL game is just starting. Also, the Engrish is flat-out amazing. Install. This. Game. There is a Wikia and a JayIsGames page. [PS installthisgame]
I somehow get the feeling Deaken wants you to install this game... So why don't you?
Those are the three channels I found for you today; I'm sure they're not the only relaxing channels on Playboard. If you'd like to recommend one, or perhaps even create one of your own and share it with me, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. And until then, enjoy these relaxing gems!

Russian President Vladimir Putin called on Sunday for immediate talks on the "statehood" of southern and eastern Ukraine, although his spokesman said this did not mean Moscow now endorsed rebel calls for independence for territory they have seized.
The Kremlin leader's remarks, two days after a public appearance in which he compared the Kiev government with Nazis and warned the West not to "mess with us", came as Europe and the United States prepared possible further sanctions to halt what they say is direct Russian military involvement in the war in Ukraine.
Germany aired suspicions that Moscow might be trying to create a land corridor to supply Crimea, which it annexed from Ukraine in March, while the four-month conflict moved onto the sea for the first time on Sunday. The separatists said they had fired on a Ukrainian vessel in the Azov Sea using land-based artillery, and a military spokesman in Kiev said a rescue operation was under way.
Ukrainian troops and local residents were reinforcing the port of Mariupol on Sunday, the next big city in the path of pro-Russian fighters who pushed back government forces along the Azov Sea this past week in an offensive on a new front.

Ukraine and Russia swapped soldiers who had entered each other's territory near the battlefield, where Kiev says Moscow's forces have come to the aid of pro-Russian insurgents, tipping the military balance in the rebels' favor.
Talks should be held immediately "and not just on technical issues but on the political organization of society and statehood in southeastern Ukraine", Putin said in an interview with Channel 1 state television, his hair tousled by wind on the shore of a lake.
Moscow, for its part, he said, could not stand aside while people were being shot "almost at point blank".
Putin's use of the word "statehood" was interpreted in Western media as implying backing for the rebel demand of independence, something Moscow has so far stopped short of publicly endorsing.
Read MoreEU wields Russia sanctions threat but timing vague
However, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there was no new endorsement from Moscow for rebel independence. Asked if "New Russia", a term pro-Moscow rebels use for their territory, should still be part of Ukraine, Peskov said: "Of course."
"Only Ukraine can reach an agreement with New Russia, taking into account the interests of New Russia, and this is the only way to reach a political settlement."
Rebels have rallied behind the term "New Russia" since Putin first used it in a public appearance in April. Putin called it a tsarist-era term for land that now forms southern and eastern Ukraine. Ukrainians consider the term deeply offensive and say it reveals Moscow's imperial designs on their territory.
Moscow has long called for Kiev to hold direct political talks with the rebels. Kiev says it is willing to have talks on more rights for the south and east, but will not talk directly to armed fighters it describes as "international terrorists" and Russian puppets that can only be reined in by Moscow.
Read MoreObama, Merkel will consider more Russian sanctions
The deputy leader of the rebel Donetsk People's Republic, Andrei Purgin, said he was due to participate in talks in the Belarus capital Minsk on Monday. Past talks by a "contact group" involving Moscow, Kiev and the rebels have covered technical issues such as access to the crash site of a Malaysian airliner shot down in July, but not political questions.
New advance
The past week has seen Ukrainian forces flee in the path of a new rebel advance, drawing concern from Ukraine's Western allies, who say armored columns of Russian troops came to the aid of a rebellion that would otherwise have been near collapse.
European Union leaders agreed on Saturday to draw up new economic sanctions against Moscow, a move hailed by the United States, which is planning tighter sanctions of its own and wants to act jointly with Europe.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier saw a possible link between the fighting around Mariupol and the Crimean peninsula, which is under Moscow's control but has no land border with Russia.

"It doesn't appear to be ruled out that Russia is trying to make land connections to organize supplies for the population of Crimea," he was quoted by the Maerkische Allgemeine newspaper as saying in an interview. "Russian land bridges and corridors would be just as illegal and deplorable as its annexation of Crimea."
Some residents of Mariupol have taken to the streets of the port to show support for the Ukrainian government as pro-Russian forces gain ground. Many others have fled from the prospect of an all-out assault on the city of nearly 500,000 people.
"We are proud to be from this city and we are ready to defend it from the occupiers," said Alexandra, 28, a post office clerk wearing a ribbon in blue and yellow Ukrainian colors.
"We will dig trenches. We will throw petrol bombs at them, the occupiers," she said. "I believe our army and our (volunteer) battalions will protect us."

Google and Microsoft Help To Defend Fair Use 122
An anonymous reader writes "The Computer & Communications Industry Association filed a complaint this month with the FTC 'alleging that professional sports leagues, Hollywood studios, and book publishers were all using copyright notices that misrepresented the law'. That is, they were aggressively pursuing 'right' that they were not entitled to. Now a group, backed by companies like Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Sun, and Red Hat, has launched a web site called Defend Fair Use that shows they are serious about making the complaint stick. From the article: 'In contrast to copyright notices that take no account of fair use and claim control over "all accounts and descriptions" of a game, the CCIA offers a different copyright notice of its own. "We recognize that copyright law guarantees that you, as a member of the public, have certain legal rights," it says, "You may copy, distribute, prepare derivative works, reproduce, introduce into an electronic retrieval system, perform, and transmit portions of this publication provided that such use constitutes 'fair use' under copyright law, or is otherwise permitted by applicable law."'"

You may of never heard of me, The Kabuki Dragon, but I have wrestled
since i was a teenager. It saddens me to see that a legend like Hulk
Hogan would make up lies such as suicide attempts to keep his name in
the media. This man who made his career on later holding others down and
only showing up to make his pay per view bonus. I know I could show
Hogan a thing or two inside that ring, but it is unlikely he would want
to wrestle someone who would not let him win after a poor executed leg
drop. I hope Hogan lives in in his former legend while he can cause
sooner rather then later the world will only remember his antics and
comments rather then his wrestling or movie career.

Industry veteran Dauch started his automotive career at General Motors in 1964, and he was only 30 when he was selected to manage one of its largest plants. Stints at Volkswagen and Chrysler followed, prior to the creation of American Axle from some GM cast-off plants in Detroit.
Dick Dauch's handshake was a bone crusher – not meant to do bodily harm, but merely reflecting his zest for life. Oh, and pity the guy he'd playfully slap on the back.
Dauch was a fullback and linebacker at Purdue and still looked the part as he aged: tall, trim and muscular.
He was best known as co-founder and driving force behind American Axle & Mfg., the Detroit-based producer of axle and drivetrain components.
Dauch died Aug. 2 at age 71. He had turned over day-to-day responsibility of AAM last year to his son, David, but remained on as chairman.
I interviewed Dick numerous times over the years. The first time was shortly after he was hired by Lee Iacocca as Chrysler's manufacturing vice president in 1980.
He obviously was excited about his new assignment. Halfway through the interview he grabbed the tassel of a large folding shade to reveal a graphic showing all of Chrysler's future vehicles. I scribbled furiously to get details of this secret information, eying a major scoop. But after a fleeting look, he pulled the shade back down. "That's enough," he laughed.
Dauch started his automotive career at General Motors in 1964, and he was only 30 when he was selected to manage one of its largest plants. In 1976, he was chosen as group vice president-manufacturing at Volkswagen's Pennsylvania transplant facility. His next stop was at Chrysler, where he retired at age 48 in 1992 as executive vice president-worldwide manufacturing.
Two years later Dauch co-founded AAM, starting out with acquisition of GM's Detroit Gear & Axle's 5-factory complex in Detroit, which he had once managed.
AAM grew quickly after that, and its operations now extend worldwide. Sales this year are running at a rate above $3 billion.
Dauch will be remembered as a demanding boss, but also as a generous philanthropist. He has given millions, for example, to Purdue, where he once played bone-crushing football.

[color=red]And yet another impressionable mind is corrupted by the sewage spilled over the silver screen by that well known left wing commie pig, Michael Moore.[/color]
Centerline This better go to the Dump fast 'cause I suspect this thread is going to get pretty ugly pretty fast. I could do it but since I'm emotionally involved I'll leave that move to one of the other mods. |
Well, the Easter Bunny told me....... so it's got to be true !! Santa Clause backed him up!! And the tooth fairy wouldn't have...
GOOD GOD !!! DIG UP THE "Facts" and verify, rather than just believing they are true !! Use YOUR MIND, not someone elses. You do know this was a MOVIE, right? Watch out, Teminator is coming !! Sorry to flame you dude, but patience is a virtue I do not possess. Don't take it personal. |
Centerline |
BTW....I saw the movie, and have talked to people that have spent time in Iraq. Like I said before.....wait until election time, and then go back and look at my previous post about what I had predicted. Later, WEIMER |
Impressionable? Nairb, you don't know me too well, do you? On the contrary.
I always ask that people RESEARCH topics they engage in before taking a side. Both PRO and CON to any situation. Then you can produce an EDUCATED opinion. Not watch a movie produced by a "hater", and use it to further your political agenda. Look at Moores background. Axes to grind? Anyone can produce a "documentary". Anyone can twist facts and make them say anything they want, when used out of context. Now take a volatile, emotional period, and introduce an "Anti" movie, you will be sure to produce revenue. Isn't that why he makes films? To make money? Remove the blinders just long enough to see road ahead of you. Bill O'Reilly? I don't watch him. Sorry. Nor Rush. Can't stand the grandstanding. 90% Showmanship/ 10% content. Same with ANY "show". Remember the key word "SHOW". Doesn't matter which side of the fence. Same with newspapers. ANY MEDIA HAS AGENDAS. Its called "audience". Each venues' "Audience" has a politcal affliation. Pandering to your audience is what keeps a subscriber base. (Tell em what they WANT to hear.) Subscriber base size defines advertising fees. Advertising fees pays the bills. So when you get your "Valid" information, remember WHERE it comes from. Then try to get subsequent information that will support it, THAT DOESN"T use the same source as your first provider. When you see controversial spin, thats your key to investigate a little further, don't you think? So before anyone (including Michael Moore) bashes any elected official, perhaps they should be privy to the same FACTS, as that official. It truly amazes me that people are naive enough to think they are getting FACTS from the media. They get 20% of the story, and expound on the details to sound like they saw the actual reports. READ THE FINE PRINT. READ THE OPPOSING SIDE. DON'T LISTEN TO SUBJECTIVE OPINION. Please, make YOUR OWN decisions based on the info that IS AVAILABLE. And if you still disagree, then thats OK. We are all entitled to them. Just don't do "hit and miss" media scouting and call it the facts. |
Yep, except ...
In the sixties, there were several publications that were claiming that the CIA was drugging unknowing and uninformed people without their consent. Most, myself included, dismissed these claims as paranoid, drug induced ravings. 30 years or so later, under the freedom of information act, documents were released which confirmed not only these allegations, but others equally abhorant. Google "Mind Control" and with diligent searching you can find photostatic copies of documents from the Justice dept and the CIA verifying these claims. You can read the congressional records which do the same. I suspect, if the constitution survives this and the next few administrations, that history will reveal that the worst suspected now of both sides is not as bad as reallity. |
FACTS can be DISTORTED through EDITING, through CONTEXT, etc etc etc...
Michael Moore is a buffoon getting rich on his propaganda. He isn't 100% lying, but he sure as hell isn't presenting things 100% as they are. How many times are his "FACTS" seen on the Snopes site..? |
Centerline |
You can rail about Moore all you want. The movie is about Bush. |
Many American complain about the "corupt" conservative government. Here in Canada, we complain about the "corupt" Liberal government.
Makes you think that maybe they are all crooks....................... |
I dont plan on watching it .
Not interested in goverment stuff. |

Feds investigate ICE shooting near Anaheim school
The last thing Daniel Noriega expected when he dropped off his girlfriend's son at school was to get shot at – especially by someone with a badge.
But that's what happened to Noriega, an Orange County-born carpenter who was shot at by an ICE agent Dec. 1 across from Westmont School in Anaheim.
Federal and local authorities are tight-lipped about the shooting, pointing to separate investigations by the Anaheim police department and the Department of Homeland Security. The District Attorney's Office is also reviewing the case.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice said only that the unidentified ICE agent is still on duty.
Noriega, however, is eager to tell his side – which has become more interesting since a fatal shooting Feb. 16 at the ICE office in Long Beach. An agent there seriously wounded his supervisor and then was shot dead by another colleague. The dead agent was being evaluated by his boss.
The Anaheim episode also brings to mind the Feb. 7 shooting of Camp Pendleton Marine Sgt. Manuel Loggins at San Clemente High School at 4:40 a.m.
The Watchdog is a little worried about law enforcement officers opening fire so close to schools. Westmont, on Loara Street, went into lockdown for 15 minutes because of the shooting, according to a letter sent to parents.
Noriega, 28, said he had just dropped off his girlfriend's son at Anaheim Plaza, across from Westmont, at 8:45 a.m. when an unmarked car screeched to a halt in front of his GMC Yukon.
A man jumped out, fired at Noriega and then activated the light bar inside the windshield of the car, Noriega said.
Noriega, speaking at the office of his attorney, Nick O'Malley, said he figured out pretty quickly that the guy with a gun was a cop. But, Noriega said, he wasn't going to stick around long enough to figure out why the cop was shooting at him.
"I was fearing for my life. I was just shocked. I was thinking that I'm not going to see my daughter no more," Noriega said. "He never said, 'Put your hands up.' He never gave me a warning. He just got out and fired at me."
Noriega said he manuevered his Yukon around the agent's car and took off, in search of a uniformed police officer. He realized he had left his cell phone at home. Noriega said he fled to a Mobil station in Buena Park, where he borrowed a phone from the attendant to call "911."
"I just wanted to find a regular, uniformed cop. I wanted to tell them I just got shot at," Noriega said.
Police from Buena Park and Anaheim, as well as ICE agents, flooded the service station. Noriega was taken into custody by Anaheim officers. His SUV was searched and impounded.
With one hand handcuffed to a chair, Noriega was then questioned by an Anaheim detective about trying to run over a federal agent. He denied trying to run over anybody. He said was just trying to get away from the guy shooting at him.
Noriega remembered he had seen the shooter a few days earlier at his apartment complex. He and other undercover types had gone to a neighbor's apartment with a picture of Noriega's girlfriend's former boyfriend. Noriega figures ICE agents confused him for the ex-boyfriend.
While Noriega was talking with Anaheim detectives, law enforcement authorities — he doesn't know which agency — searched his apartment and told his girlfriend that he tried to kill an agent, Noriega said.
"Why were they doing this?" Noriega said. "I didn't want to be charged with something I didn't do."
Police released Noriega that day, drove him home and later picked up the tab for his impounded vehicle, attorney O'Malley says. But, the attorney adds, Noriega is still considered a suspect.
"I'm scared they might come back and do it again," Noriega said.
Anaheim Sgt. Robert Dunn said prosecutors are indeed reviewing whether to file charges against Noriega.
The case, it would seem, hinges on whether the agent fired before or after Noriega hit the gas.
There are plenty of other unanswered questions: If the agent feared for his life, why did he fire only once? If the shooting was justified, why did Anaheim let Noriega go?
We'll be keeping an eye on this, and update you as soon as we know more.

Health IT
The Social Security Administration will use NHIN to reduce the time needed to determine disability benefits eligibility
The Social Security Administration is about to become the first agency to use the emerging Nationwide Health Information Network, and it expects NHIN to dramatically reduce the time it takes to determine if people are eligible for supplemental disability benefits.
On Feb. 28, the agency will begin using the network to evaluate Virginia residents' requests for those benefits. SSA will send the queries to MedVirginia, a group of health care providers based in Richmond that already has a system for exchanging information electronically. Eventually, the Health and Human Services Department will make many such exchanges part of the national network.
NHIN is designed to connect patients, providers and others involved in health care. However, many providers are reluctant to move onto the network because of the expense and time involved in making the transition from paper to digital records. So SSA is building a business case to convince them of the long-term benefits.
Switching from a paper-based process to an electronic one will allow SSA to obtain medical information more quickly, said Debbie Somers, senior adviser to the agency's deputy commissioner for systems. By applying that digital process to a network of providers rather than establishing connections to each one individually, SSA can further speed the process and begin paying benefits much faster.
People who are terminally ill, permanently disabled or unable to work for at least a year must wait as long as several months to find out if they will receive supplemental disability benefits through SSA. Meanwhile, bills pile up for the family.
The lengthy paper-based process for collecting medical information from physicians and hospitals about an applicant's condition has been a major bottleneck in the disability process, Somers said. About 3 million people file for disability benefits each year, and many states wait for that disability determination before they approve Medicaid and other services for the applicant.
With NHIN, SSA will be able to obtain in less than a minute the medical information it needs to make a determination, Somers said. Last fall, when SSA tested an information-sharing system with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, the turnaround time was 42 seconds.
"It gives you chills to think about it," she said. "At this point, that is one facility, one state, so it's a limited amount of data. But we know it's doable."
NHIN will help SSA broaden its efforts to share data electronically. It would be overwhelming to set up point-to-point connections with the country's 7,000 hospitals, Somers said, but the new network allows the same information to flow via a single Internet gateway.
"What SSA has built is a foundational element that will help bring value to the NHIN because we've gone beyond use of information for treatment," Somers said. "Now a provider can look at some other benefits."
In its use of NHIN, SSA is thinking beyond medical data for treatment, payment and operational activities. Families might want to have immunization records sent electronically to their children's schools, or they might want to review elderly parents' medical records to make sure they are receiving the care and treatment they need, she said. The same data could have many uses, ranging from approving veterans' disability benefits to supporting workers' compensation claims.
The North Carolina Healthcare Information and Communications Alliance, a nonprofit organization of 200 providers, industry organizations and technology companies, could be next in line to join NHIN. SSA also is working with Kaiser Permanente to determine implementation dates for that organization.
As the agency develops new business rules, it will evaluate their effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. It will also continue to look for ways to standardize data to further streamline patient records. "We also expect to see changes in the cost because we are able to do things electronically," Somers said.
SSA follows the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act when obtaining patients' authorization to query providers for their medical records. For NHIN, electronic records follow a standard format, so that certain data will always be in certain fields, which means a computer can assist in searches and analyses, Somers said.
NHIN collects summary medical records from providers and transmits them to SSA, which uses the information in various ways, said Ginger Price, the NHIN lead in HHS' Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
In the past year, HHS has sponsored trial implementations of NHIN in which federal agencies and health information exchanges have helped define and test core services, Price said. Those services are the ability to query a record, compile a summary patient record and send that information back to the person who requested it.
Other agencies, such as the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments, are keeping an eye on SSA's activities and have expressed interest in switching to NHIN toward the end of the year, Price said.
In a report released in December 2008, the Government Accountability Office cited SSA's decision to expand its use of technology for obtaining the health records of disability applicants as an idea that "holds promise for achieving even greater efficiencies in medical collection for disability cases in the long run."
But obstacles remain. Industry standards and protocols must be further developed "before the process can be replicated widely," wrote Daniel Bertoni, director of education, workforce and income security at GAO. And there are issues related to the electronic authorization procedures designed to protect the privacy of patients' medical records, he said.
MedVirginia has conducted demonstrations and trial implementations to ensure that it can transmit data securely from one entity participating in the national network to another, said Michael Matthews, MedVirginia's chief executive officer. In addition to health information exchanges, participants in NHIN include the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Indian Health Service, VA and DOD.
For SSA, when a patient seeking disability benefits identifies one of MedVirginia's providers as a site where he or she received treatment, the organization searches its databases for a match, Matthews said. Once MedVirginia establishes that a patient with the stated name and date of birth exists in its databases, SSA could request a clinical summary. When MedVirginia confirms that the proper patient authorization has been obtained, it reformats the record into the summary document and sends it to SSA via NHIN.
SSA runs the data through its algorithm, which prompts the computer to look for certain procedures, diagnoses and codes that would be factors in a disability determination, Matthews said, adding that MedVirginia had to structure its data to fit the algorithm.
"We have 600,000 charts, and some of those are extensive, with radiology reports, lab results, operative notes and patient summaries," he said. Nevertheless, MedVirginia has demonstrated that it can perform the transaction in less than a minute.
"We're the first, but through that gateway, they will be able to connect with anyone who is a participant in NHIN and produces data formats and [adheres to] interoperability standards," Matthews said.
To do its part, MedVirginia integrates the databases of its providers through its technology partner Wellogic, of Cambridge, Mass.
Now that MedVirginia is using the network, it might encourage other health care providers to sign on, Matthews said.
For example, NHIN could allow VA and DOD to share data with civilian health care providers who treat veterans and members of the military. About 40 percent of veterans receive care outside VA's system, and 60 percent of active-duty service members receive care outside DOD's system. Yet the civilian doctors don't know what's happening on the government side, and VA and DOD don't have access to what's happening to their patients when they go to civilian providers.
MedVirginia has demonstrated that government and private systems can share information, Matthews said.
"The evidence is compelling," he said. "We can't afford to waste any more time in proof of concept. We've proven the concept, and now it's time to move on to production and implementation."

As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.

Bulls honor Hispanic community with Latin Night
March 28, 2011 – The Chicago Bulls will honor the Hispanic community by hosting Latin Night, presented by the McDonald's Hispanic Owner-Operators Association (MHOA), during the Bulls game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, March 28 at the United Center.
As part of the NBA's Noche Latina initiative, the Bulls will recognize fans and players across Latin America and U.S. Hispanic communities that evening by wearing specially designed uniforms with "Los Bulls" branding on the team's red road uniforms.
Fans will also be treated to Latin Night themed festivities throughout the game including:
- • Player introductions announced in Spanish
- • A mariachi band performing the National Anthem
- • Flags of 20 Spanish-speaking Latin countries presented at halftime
- • Local Hispanic dance groups performing during the game
- • Latin music/dance presented throughout 100 and 300 level concourses
- • Mariachi band positioned outside Gate 6 to welcome fans through south side of the United Center
- • Bulls entertainment teams wearing "Los Bulls" gear
Additionally, while supplies last, fans entering the arena that evening will receive a coupon for a Free Small McCafé beverage courtesy of the McDonald's Hispanic Owner-Operators Association.
The MHOA also has donated Latin Night game tickets valued at about $5,000 to key community organizations in recognition of the organizations' ongoing efforts to empower our community. On behalf of the MHOA, owner/operator John DeCarrier presented the ticket contribution to the following organizations: The Association House, Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council, Casa Central, Enlace Chicago, Erie Neighborhood House, Mujeres Latinas en Acción and the Spanish Center.
Noche Latina was first launched during the 2006-07 season to honor the NBA's Hispanic fan base.

Beyond new home, major makeover and Caddy platform await Impala
Now that we know where the next-generation Chevrolet Impala will be assembled, what has been discovered about the redesigned car?
For one thing, the Impala will be large, with dimensions similar to today's Impala. Second, it will share a front-wheel-drive platform with a new Cadillac.
General Motors announced Wednesday that the future Impala will be produced at the automaker's plant in Detroit-Hamtramck, Mich., alongside the Chevrolet Volt and the upcoming restyled and re-engineered 2013 Malibu. Today the Impala is assembled at GM's Oshawa, Ontario, plant.
The Hamtramck plant has been home to the Cadillac DTS and the Buick Lucerne. The last DTS was assembled this week and the Lucerne will be put to rest in a few weeks.
While GM did not provide a time frame, model year or any information about the new Impala, sources say production of the new sedan will begin in November or December 2012. Sales will begin in the first quarter of 2013, and the car will be a 2014 model.
The new Impala and the upcoming 2013 Cadillac XTS sedan will share the longer version of GM's re-engineered Epsilon platform, I'm told. The platform is engineered for all-wheel drive, although it is unknown if Impala will offer that feature. The XTS goes into production next year. The XTS, however, is expected to be assembled in Oshawa, the same plant that produces the Chevrolet Camaro and Buick Regal.
GM has not announced where the XTS will be assembled.
The next Impala will move upmarket in price and features, I'm told. The 2014 Impala will be the flagship of Chevrolet's sedan line. Think Taurus: A similar strategy was adopted for the current Ford Taurus, which was restyled, re-engineered and repositioned for the 2010 model year, providing a wider gap from the Fusion.
Today there's too much price overlap between the current Malibu and Impala, I'm told. To separate the cars, Chevrolet will add standard equipment to the Impala and offer technology not available in today's model.
As the Impala moves up in price and becomes a more premium sedan, the expectation is that some Impala owners will move down to the cheaper Malibu.
Timing is another issue. If the redesigned Malibu is delayed beyond its scheduled production start in the first quarter of 2012, the Impala's launch likely will be pushed back.
Chevrolet does not want to introduce its most important cars by volume -- Impala and Malibu -- a few months apart.

By Ashley Workman, LVC Perspectives Citizens of Cynthiana, do you ever wonder what people travelling through Harrison County think about the condition of our roadways? We want them to think this is one of the greatest places to live. One step toward making this a reality can be easily accomplished if we work together to make our roadways litter free. As residents, we should strive to make our city as beautiful as possible. Are you willing to do your part?
To the editor: Spring rains kept Ben Clifford with his huge orange truck at bay. Our rotting Water Maple has been threatening to take out our old Kentucky farm house roof and electrical line. We hired Ben to remove the tree a couple of months ago, but it had been too wet to get the job done and when it did finally dry out, there was corn to plant and tobacco to set.
As I recall memories of when I was younger, none are as special to me as the times spent at Oddville Store. Not trying to sound too clichéd, but I remember those experiences like they were yesterday. It would be 95 degrees outside at our old home on Lower Curry Road. Our yard was basically an old hay field growing tall with Kentucky 31 Fescue and tons of dandelions.
To the editor: I would like to give an update on the Food Pantry and the Harrison County Ministerial Association. This community never ceases to amaze me; again, it has come to the plate, batting with food and money instead of a baseball bat. I will not mention names as I would certainly miss someone unintentionally, so I will say if you have helped in any way, through churches, schools, clubs, library, businesses, factories, Postal food drive or individually, a great big thanks goes out to you.
To the editor: If you have read the last two articles in the Democrat regarding substitute teacher pay, please don't say KRS regulations are "outstanding." Work needs to be done. As noted, substitute teachers are not treated the same as regular teachers. Teachers receive retirement pay within 30 days of retirement. Why do substitute employees have to wait until the end of the school year? It's time to take a serious look at the KRS and make some changes.

State Farm Insurance defines service learning as a method of teaching and learning that combines service to the community with classroom instruction. They believe it is important because it helps to build partnerships, develop skills and give students an opportunity to give back to their communities.

This was my first up close sighting of the legendary Irrawaddy River. The Irrawaddy cuts a very wide swathe (sometimes up to three kilometres wide) through the low-lying and generally barren surrounding plains. As the miles went by this immensity becomes more and more apparent and as usual, the river plain is surrounded by far-flung mountain peaks on the horizon.
Often the scene didn't change for an hour or more, just the position of the boat in the river (the navigator skilfully dodging sandbanks) and that the occasional village cropped up on the shore every once in a while. Seven hours slid by in blissful comfort and reclination*. Rain showers came and went but never seriously threatened. All was well on the poop deck - my hapless bowels behaved themselves admirably. Then stupas were sighted on the banks aforeships and we entered the Bagan Archeological Zone. Bring it on!
Bagan is stop two in my ancient cities of Asia tour and although relatively unknown to much of the world, it's an awesome cluster of 1,000 year old Buddhist temples and monuments covering an area of about 50 square kilometres in north western Myanmar. There are approximately 2,100 definable structures within this area, some built on a huge scale with many levels and internal rooms, others much smaller with just single rooms (or none at all in the case of the many stupas and burial mounds).
Apparently they were built over a period of about 250 years, from the 9th to the 13th century AD (I realise that doesn't add up). Various styles were employed in three distinct architectural periods - the imaginatively named Early, Middle and Late periods - which resulted in a bizarre and seemingly random variety of shapes and designs in evidence. Add that to the fact that they were using some weird method of astrology or some seriously mind-altering substances to place the new constructions and you often get a very weird mix of buildings neighbouring each other. If you look one way and there's a mutli-layered temple with a beautiful spire on top, look fifty metres right and there's a giant shoe box, fifty metres left and there's a pentagonal stupa. Righty-o, nice work lads.
On the whole it adds up to an extraordinary sight, if you can get to any sort of vantage point to peer over the encroaching scrub and jungle. Whichever way you look, there are numerous structures dotting the landscape, many of which are comparable in size and complexity to the very pinnacle of European architecture of the time. The large temples must have been an absolutely massive undertaking in themselves, but then to erect thousands of smaller buildings around them would have taken almost continuous construction over the centuries. I wouldn't like to have been a slave around here back then...
Let's not get too high tech about this - pictures tell a thousand words. First stop was the massive gilded stupa of Shwezigon Pagoda in Nyaung U. The swarming vendors didn't amuse me but the old ladies with the big rollies sure did!
From there on it was just cycling for a while, stopping and gazing about in wonderment. Here are some of the main temples (names above photos):
Ananda Temple
That-byin-nyu Temple
Su-la-ma-ni Pahto
Dhamma-yan-gyi Pahto
Dhamma ya-za-ka Zedi
Tayok-pyi Paya (excellent views at this remote temple)
Other random structures
By the way, don't ask me regarding the difference between temples, paya and pahto. I mustn't have been paying attention that lesson.
If you could access them, the inside of the temples often reveal intricate paintings - mostly religious in nature such as of the Buddha and his lessons in learning 'the Way', as well as some more earthly topics such as life around the area or in the royal court of the time. A lot of these has faded due to smoke damage (the temples were used to hide from the Japanese in WW2), bat droppings or just age, but temples such as Gu-byauk-gyi (in between Old and New Bagan) still have some significant works under display.
I spent three quite changeable (weather-wise) days here which ended up working quite nicely, giving me time to relax and recuperate from previous ills whilst covering most of the extended archeolgical zone in detail. I saw most significant sites plus a number of less accessible (but no less impressive) secondary temples (such as Tayok) along the southern-most road. It's interesting that as the zone is so spread out, it is difficult to fully appreciate the immensity and impressiveness of it all. Borobudur pales into insignificance when compared to this, and I think Bagan will certainly rival Angkor Wat in terms of magnitude when I visit there in the near future. Still, we'll leave it till then to pass final judgements.
In the meantime, it is one happy Rosco heading over to Inle Lake for the final stop of this Myanmar tour. After I've gone, the sun will continue to set over the many temples, pahto, zedi and hti that make up this spectacular example of ancient human endeavour. Maybe I'll make it back here sometime to see it again.
Cheerio for now.
Next entry -> Inle Lake

Big Business Dictates Immigration Policy — At Workers' Expense
Arizona's business leaders, frustrated by the deep financial fallout of increasingly radical immigration proposals, successfully swayed state lawmakers into defeating five extremist anti-immigrant bills.
New America Media's Valeria Fernández reports that 60 executives from the likes of WellsFargo bank and U.S. Airways penned an open letter to state Senate President Russell Pearce last week, urging him to leave immigration policy to federal government. Julianne Hing at Colorlines.com has posted the letter in full but here's the gist:
Last year, boycotts were called against our state's business community, adversely impacting our already-struggling economy and costing us jobs. Arizona-based businesses saw contracts cancelled or were turned away from bidding. Sales outside of the state declined … It is an undeniable fact that each of our companies and our employees were impacted by the boycotts and the coincident negative image [...] Arizona is looking like a nativist, restrictive and intolerant place, and that's bad for business.
The legislature subsequently voted down five controversial measures that sought to redefine citizenship and ban undocumented immigrants from hospitals and public schools, among other provisions.
Pearce, whose behind-the-scenes maneuvering repeatedly saved the contentious bills from dying much sooner, has vowed to continue pushing his agenda by voter referendum, if necessary. If he does, he may have more success. Arizonans have repeatedly voted in favor of harsh anti-immigrant proposals, including measures that stripped undocumented college students of financial assistance, banned ethnic studies, and ended equal opportunity programs.
Arizona's business leaders overlook immigrant workers
It's worth noting, though, that while the letter's signatories handily criticized the legislature's immigration agenda for negatively impacting the state's economy, they had almost nothing to say about its detrimental impact on the state's workers — a considerable proportion of whom are immigrants. Instead, they urge "market driven immigration policies" that will "preserve our ability to compete in the global economy" — language that is more evocative of labor-exploitative capitalism than worker solidarity.
Their calls for "the creation of a meaningful guest worker program" are similarly suspect. While the notion of a "meaningful guest worker program" that would legalize certain undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. may, on the surface, seem like a sympathetic solution — particularly in light of the federal government's failure to move forward with any kind of comprehensive immigration reform — it nevertheless poses dire implications for undocumented workers.
Utah's guest worker proposal evokes Bracero program abuses
As David Bacon at In These Times posits, "guest workers" whose legal status is contingent on their employment situation are uniquely vulnerable to workplace abuse and exploitation, and could face labor conditions "close to slavery." The Bracero Program, a guest worker initiative which imported Mexican laborers primiarly for work in agriculture between 1942 and 1964, stands out as stark example of the dark side of guest worker programs. Bacon explains:
Braceros were treated as disposable, dirty and cheap. Herminio Quezada Durán, who came to Utah from Chihuahua, says ranchers often had agreements between each other to exchange or trade braceros as necessary for work. Jose Ezequiel Acevedo Perez, who came from Jerez, Zacatecas, remembers the humiliation of physical exams that treated Mexicans as louse-ridden.
"We were stripped naked in front of everyone," he remembers, and sprayed with DDT, now an outlawed pesticide. Men in some camps were victims of criminals and pimps.
Arizona isn't the only state to toy with the idea of establishing a guest worker program. In an effort to distance itself from Arizona's contentious and economically disastrous immigration agenda, Utah — a fiercely red state and Arizona's northern neighbor — is considering creating its own guest worker program, according to the Texas Observer's Victor Landa. The law would grant legal residency to working, undocumented residents who do not commit serious crimes.
While Landa notes that the purportedly progressive measure nevertheless runs afoul of federal immigration laws (only the federal government can grant immigration status), the bill presents other issues. One must stay employed or lose residency — a circumstance that would strip employees of bargaining power while granting their employers an inordinate amount of license in the workplace. In practical terms, that doesn't much change the existing workplace dynamics of undocumented immigrants, who frequently endure exploitation and abuse without recourse.
Labor unions vs. worksite immigration enforcement
What's more: Exploitative employers generally get off scot free even when targeted by employer sanctions efforts; it's the workers, not employers, who bear the brunt of the federal government's worksite immigration enforcement. For this reason, a Services Employees International Union (SEIU) leader, Javier Morillo, has condemned the Department of Homeland Security's emhasis on workplace raids and employer verification, according to Nicolas Mendoza at Campus Progress.
Responding to the termination of 250 unionized janitors in Minnesota following an I-9 audit — a verification process through which the federal government can ask businesses to check the immigration statuses of their employees — Morillo said:
Under the leadership of Secretary Napolitano the federal government has become an employment agency for the country's worst employers. With each I-9 audit, the government is systematically pushing hardworking people into the underground economy where they face exploitation… Let's be clear: I-9 audits, by definition, do not go after egregious employers who break immigration laws because many of them do not use I-9 forms. Human traffickers do not ask their victims for their social security cards. [emphasis added]
Mendoza notes that the federal government's employer verification programs rely on the honesty of employers and rewards them for firing undocumented workers, rather than sanctioning businesses for hiring them. Workers pay the price, while employers get off.

Tiles & Tilers
When it comes to tiles we tend to think of the wet areas of the house - kitchen, bathroom and laundries. But there are so many styles, shapes, sizes and materials of tiles available for many more uses than just our wet areas including floors and walls for living rooms, entry halls, fireplaces and stairs, not to mention outdoor areas such as verandahs, terraces, pathways, entertaining areas and pools.

This is the Dragonfly Vertical Farm, a skyscraper designed for animals and agricultural production. Sitting on the southern part of Roosevelt Island—on the East River, appropriately right in front of the United Nations' HQ building—the farm skyscraper is based on the shape of a dragonfly's wings. It extends 132 floors and 600 meters up in the air, totalling an area of 360,000 square meters. Advertisement Advertisement Designed by Vincent Callebaut Architectures, the Dragonfly Vertical Farm is designed to produce fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, and dairy. It will also include public spaces, like gardens, a marina, markets, and a public "kitchen" area, so people can enjoy the natural environments—and watch the animals as they get ready to first take over Manhattan, and then take over Berlin.This may result in the most expensive milk and bacon in the planet, which is probably why it is never going to be built.

VMware Inc.'s Cloud Foundry Platform as a Service (PaaS) has signed on several new supporters of its open-cloud effort.
Cloud Foundry, which runs atop VMware's vSphere and vCloud platforms, went into beta in April. It is striving to offer a platform by which customers can develop and deploy applications to multiple clouds.
Now Cloud Foundry has a number of new partners joining in its cause: Canonical, Dell, enStratus and Opscode, all of which are aiming to make it easier to deploy Cloud Foundry-based infrastructures.
"We are announcing collaborations with key industry partners, dramatically expanding the integrated tooling for running Cloud Foundry almost anywhere, and delivering on our portability vision," Cloud Foundry said on its blog.
Here's what the various partners are bringing to Cloud Foundry:
Cloud Foundry is predicting that these new integrations and the Cloud Foundry VMC client will show up on "millions" of developer and server operating systems.

I already can't stop playing. It's irresistible—I'm playing games with damn near everyone I know on Facebook; people I never play games with, not even Words With Friends. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the game is raking in money. Particularly not as OMGPOP was just quickly acquired by social game titan Zynga. All the same, it's impressive just how much money the game has been making, and how many people are playing it. According to Gamesindustry.biz, Draw Something has been downloaded over 37 million times and has over 20 million active users. There are currently 3,000 drawings created every second, over a billion each week. Draw Something itself has been generating $250,000 in revenue per day after Apple's 30% cut, which is… well, dang. Gamesindustry.biz cites a source that puts the total for the Zynga acquisition at $210 million. Considering that Zynga also gets OMGPOP's Wu-Tang Clan version of Farmville, seems like Zynga has made a wise investment.
