Political Take: Bailouts, Biden and Palin -- Oh My!
The Fix and Newsweek Managing Editor Dan Klaidman rap -- not literally, that would be weird -- about the politics surrounding the bailout vote, tomorrow night's vice presidential debate and next Tuesday's second presidential debate. And all in under ten minutes!

smaggie and ksaund both have a point, but its soon lost in the partisan arguments about who is to blame. Both the Democrats and the Republicans have screwed up, this time. The Democrats in government have gone too far to push "affordable housing" with rules and practices that encouraged people to agree to mortgages they couldn't afford, and encouraged lenders to make the loans to back them. The Republicans in government have bent over backward to serve and protect major corporations and insitutions from the consequences of their own poor judgment. BOTH parties were too eager to accept the counsel (and flakey accounting) of the "Wizards of Wall Street" and the Fed (which may be largely the same people, with different hats).
It IS important to assign responsibility, and determine exactly what happened, but claims by either party to be entirely on the side of the angels should be scrutinized carefully.

ksaund: You are absolutely correct about when this started. The only reason it has ended up in this situation is that the RULES AND REGULATIONS were not followed by these companies. The Democrats have been trying to get the Republicans, for years,to sit down on these iregularities and make them follow regulations, BUT the Republicans refused to step in and it ALL got out of hand with the people getting
rich doing things the way they wanted. Oh yes, do you kow a person who has been on a job for less that six months receiving a bonus of over 10 million dollars? OR a person who was dismissed because of some wrong doing getting a bonus of over one hundred million dollars? What it will amount to is that we will have to repay this money through our taxes, so how can the taxes be reduced?

UBCSteve raises an interesting point about the wisdom of GOP tactics for selling Palin, but it doesn't look as though they have much choice. They can't sell her as intellectual, so there is nothing to do BUT try to exploit the anti-intellectual biases of some American voters, and sell her as "folksy".
It may be a bad gamble, but if its the only bet they can cover...
There IS a certain segment of the population that takes a perverse pride in ignorance. I hope it isn't a large enough segment to make the difference.
Republicans for Obama!

As far as who is primarily responsible for the Fannie/Freddie situation. Here's a link to the NY Times article from 9/1999 with the original announcement. It may have taken several years for the resultant fall out, but Clinton initiated this process.

I would like to see Gwen Ifill remove herself as moderator for tonight's debate. The overwhelming public opinion relative to this (bipartisan) speaks for itself. It's time for her actions to back up her reputation as an ethical journalist. I'm hoping she will step aside voluntarily, and demonstrate her level of integrity and ethics. If she doesn't, I personally believe that in and of itself speak volumes.
I'm tired of empty words without the action to back them up. I'm tired of hearing journalists and politicians alike making claims that their actions/records simply don't evidence. I'm a democrat, and even I see that in Obama. He's a great speaker - inspiring even - but there's no record, evidence, or action to back up much of what he's saying. Anyone one can say great things. Being inspiring is definitely a gift. But what has he actually DONE that qualifies him to be the next President of one of the greatest countries in the world??? Are we seriously considering electing a president that has NO executive experience in ANYTHING?? No business experience? No foreign policy experience? How can we ignore the people he has chosen as mentors and friends? Why isn't he willing to fully disclose education, contribution and countless other information? Why aren't we demanding this? HELLO...?? America, are you serious??

You are missing one major point, "NO ONE CARES". We want a new direction and it ain't John Mccain. You should have gotten a better candidate.
Powerline has a compelling blog on the many fraudulent contributions for Obama--including from overseas. Here's one example, Mr. Good Will: In a letter dated June 25, 2008, the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series of $25 donations from a contributor identified as ''Will, Good'' from Austin, Texas. Mr. Good Will listed his employer as ''Loving'' and his profession as ''You.''

There's an interesting bit of comment/analysis on Palin's capablity vis-a-vis the VP debate here:
The guy in the clip recommends that she find any excuse to pull out of the debate!!
But I've seen a bit of comment suggesting that Palin's ignorance may come over as 'refreshing'.
It'll be interesting to see how her 'unpretentious' lack of competency plays out among the great masses / independents.
I mean, some pundits criticise Obama for being too cool and intellectual - I guess by that logic someone who is anti-intellectual (or comes across that way) might appeal to a lot of independent voters?
Pretty high risk strategy going into a live debate tho - play dumb and hope the public love you for it!

The only surprise about recent polls about Sarah Palin is how many persons persist in thinking she is qualified to be president. Of course, the vast majority of right wing ideologues and Republican sheep will support anyone who is a right winger or very conservative. However, the 60-65% of the rest of Americans, who are moderates, liberals, progressives, independents,and Democrats should be united in realizing she is not qualified for the presidency.
However, I think Palin may come across in her debate with Joe Biden as being overall reasonably competent. The format of the "debate" allows an individual, who is largely uninformed about many important issues, but who is tutored and prepper with scripted lines, to conceivably come across as more or less competent.
Sarah Palin is a performer, by her background, in certain respects. A candidate for high national office could possibly come across fairly well, especially with the questions likely being quite general, predictable and very limited interaction between her and Biden.
How a candidate comes across on television in a quasi-debate is given too much importance by the media, whether among presidential or vice-presidential candidates. This is a highly superficial forum, but too many people, in the media and among the general public, may be unnecessarily influenced by relatively unimportant sound bites or "performance" criteria, more worthy of evaluating the skills of an actor or actress, than the next president of vice-president of the United States.

With the administration's proposed $700 billion bailout nothing more than a blank check to give the Treasury Secretary unbridled power with no real oversight, we ought to consider the consequences of having that much power.
Should McCain actually occupy the White House, we could very well face the prospect of TREASURY SECRETARY PHIL GRAMM.
Wait whaaat?? That Phil Gramm?! The same man who fought tooth and nail in the '90s with John McCain to to deregulate Wall Street?
The same Phil Gramm who said we're all a bunch of whiners in this economy? The same guy who was in bed with Enron and who snuck in their pet legislation at the 11th budget hour while co-sponsoring legislation that destroyed Glass-Steagall?
Don't believe me? Just last week, Tucker Bounds refused to rule him out.
Foreclosure Phil Gramm would ride to the rescue for the same folks who he enabled to start this damn mess! Now, imagine Treasury Secretary Gramm having this authority under the bailout:
"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."

The reality is that Obama will LOWER TAXES on 95 percent of American citizens. McCain will RAISE TAXES on 90 percent of American citizens.
Of course, if you already MAKE - TODAY, not tomorrow - $5 million a year, then you should want McCain's plan.
Naturally, it will destroy America, but McCain is unlikely to survive two terms, so he doesn't care.

John McCain is over 70, his father John McCain Jr, died at 70, and his grandfather John McCain Sr died at 61.
Modern medical science being what it is, John McCain has not lived the healthiest life (through bad luck in many cases), and he has had cancer. The odds are definitely against nature granting him eight more healthy years.
Crass though it may seem, John McCain made his age an issue when he picked Palin to be his VP. Were she competent and trusted by the public then it would be entirely inappropriate to raise age as an issue since the potential replacement would be seen as a capable caretaker. However, Palin is widely and correctly seen as way in over her head, so the fact that McCain's age makes her statistically more likely to assume the Presidency instantly forces the public to discuss whether he is too old to take a risk on.
In order for her to beat Biden in a debate, she literally needs to give a detailed explanation of String Theory, in Latin. Let's be honest, she's displayed such stunning levels of incompetence that she is required to prove otherwise beyond any reasonable doubt.

When pressed about the ad claiming that Obama wanted to teach 5yo girls how to use condoms (verified not true), he insisted that it was true. He insisted the Press is out to get him, that the only Republicans who had any concerns about Palin as VP were Georgetown cocktail party attendees, that he has consulted numerous times with Palin on important foreign policy matters, that because energy was an international issue and She was an 'expert' on energy, therefore she was an expert on foreign policy.

To Joe Biden: Time for Confession
by Ray McGovern
Dear Sen. Biden,
I don't have to remind you of the importance of this Thursday's debate from a political perspective. But as you prepare, I invite you to spare a few minutes to look at the opportunity from a moral and religious perspective. You may wish to examine your conscience regarding how you have acted on key foreign policy issues and reflect on John 8:32: "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."
The holy days of religious traditions serve a very useful purpose, if we but take the time to pause and ponder. I write you on Rosh Hashanah, the first of 10 days focusing on repentance.
In Judaism's oral tradition, Rosh Hashanah is the day when people are held to account. The wicked are "blotted out of the book of the living," while the righteous are inscribed in the book of life. Those in the middle are given ten days to repent, until the holiday of Yom Kippur – the solemn Day of Atonement.
If that has a familiar ring to it, Joe, we heard it in as many words at Mass last Sunday in the first reading, from Ezekiel 18: "If one turns from wickedness and does what is right and just, that one will live."
Same Tradition
At Rosh Hashanah the ram's horn trumpet blows to waken us from our slumber and alert us to the coming judgment. Rabbi Michael Lerner has been a ram's horn for me. On Sept. 28, he sent a note addressing forgiveness and repentance.
He encourages us to find a private place to say aloud how we've hurt others, and then to go to them and ask forgiveness. "Do not mitigate or 'explain' – just acknowledge and sincerely ask for forgiveness," says Rabbi Lerner. He suggests we ask for "guidance and strength to rectify those hurts – and to develop the sensitivity to not continue acting in a hurtful way."
Again, a familiar ring. Think, Joe, about the instruction we both received as Irish "cradle Catholics." Surely you will remember the emphasis on examining one's conscience, confessing, and pledging to "sin no more." The phrase comes back, clear as a bell; we were to "confess our sins, do penance, and amend our life, Amen." Remember?
And remember how clean we felt at the end of that therapeutic process? I was reminded of that by Monday's gospel reading from John 1, in which Jesus says of Nathaniel: "Here is a true child of Israel; there is no duplicity in him." Just think of how Nathaniel must have felt.
Joe, you can feel that clean; but one cannot shortcut the process. You must first come clean on your role in greasing the skids for President George W. Bush's war of aggression on Iraq. I use "war of aggression" advisedly, for that is the term used by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson to denote "the supreme international crime, differing from other war crimes only in that it contains the accumulated evil of the whole."
There is no getting around that – despite the reluctance of church, state, and the Fawning Corporate Media (FCM) to acknowledge it. I imagine that you, as a lawyer, have moments of acute shame over our country's flouting of international law and the UN Charter, duly ratified by the Senate and thus the law of the land.
And there is no getting away from the important role you played in roping Congress into facilitating that war. Were the war not to have killed, injured, and displaced hundreds of thousands, your lame circumlocutions regarding your own culpability would be laughable – on a par with, say, some of the recent comments of your rival for vice president. But they are in no way funny.
Fulsome Prose
For my own penance, I made myself read again through your marathon, "in-depth" interview with the late Tim Russert on April 29, 2007. Your comments are notable for two things: (1) periodic sentences that can be diagrammed only by a German philologist with the patience of Job in waiting for verbs and an empty quiver for dangling participles; and (2) lies.
It is not hard to spot the lies half-hidden in the underbrush of euphemism and circumlocution. I do not refer to relatively harmless ones like your firm denial of any interest in running for vice president. I'm talking about the real whoppers – the ones we used to call mortal sins. Despite the goings-on in Washington in recent years, Joe, I don't believe anyone has actually passed legislation repealing the commandment against false witness. It's time you come clean.
Confess What?
For some reason, you were calling for an invasion of Iraq and making unsupported claims about its "weapons of mass destruction" even before President George W. Bush came into office. Later, on Aug. 4, 2002, after it had become clear to many of us that Bush was intent on attacking Iraq, you declared that the U.S. was probably going to war. That was three weeks before Vice President Dick Cheney voiced his spurious "intelligence" and set the terms of reference for the war. And it was a month before the administration launched its marketing campaign for the new "product."
You became the administration's most important congressional backer of Bush's preemptive-with-nothing-to-preempt war advocated by neoconservatives and various oil-thirsty functionaries.
Former UN weapons inspector and ex-U.S. Marine Maj. Scott Ritter was correct in describing the hearings you chaired during the summer and fall of 2002, from which you were careful to exclude Ritter and other expert witnesses, as a "sham … to provide political cover for a massive military attack on Iraq." What the country needed was an appropriately skeptical Sen. William Fulbright who listened to dissenters after he got burned on Vietnam. Instead, you took unusual pains to ensure that those dissenting on Iraq would not get a fair hearing.
Ritter: "While we were never able to provide 100 percent certainty regarding the disposition of Iraq's proscribed weaponry, we did ascertain a 90-95 percent level of verified disarmament. … It is clear that Sen. Biden and his colleagues have no interest in such facts." Indeed, just before the Senate voted to give Bush authorization to attack Iraq, you plagiarized Cheney in assuring your Senate colleagues that Iraq "possesses chemical and biological weapons and is seeking nuclear weapons."
And why, tell us, Joe, why did you join Sen. John McCain and others in voting against the amendment offered by Sen. Carl Levin that would have forced the president to obtain UN Security Council approval before launching war on Iraq?
'Explaining' the Unexplainable
Then, in 2007, when your catastrophic misjudgments were obvious and hundreds of thousands were dead and maimed, you borrowed administration rhetoric to "explain" to Russert how "everyone in the world thought Saddam had them [WMD]." That was rank hyperbole. When you added, "The weapons inspectors said he had them," that was a lie.
Please, no more torturous explanations of the kind you gave Russert; I mean like this one: "It [the resolution] allowed the president to go to war. It did not authorize him to go to it." Come on, Joe. The resolution says: "The president is authorized to use the armed forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate." Sen. Robert Byrd, who, unlike you and other Senate Democrats, had no presidential ambitions, rightly observed at the time that those who "voted for a use-of-force resolution handed a 'blank check' to the president."
When the war/occupation brought bloody chaos, you expressed regret only that the Bush people weren't doing it right. For example, in 2004 you told Charlie Rose and in 2007 Russert: "If I'd known that they were going to be so incompetent in using it, I would have never, ever given them the authority." So you approve of preemptive war as long as no one botches the job?
More recently, Joe, you have said of your vote to authorize the war: "It was a mistake. I regret my vote." Pardon the comparison, but you sound like the disgraced Colin Powell, who has expressed regret only for the "blot" on his record. But wait, Joe: "Imagine All the People."
Im-Palin Old Joe
If you do not find my suggestion for confession and repentance morally compelling, Joe, then think of it this way. Your debate partner on Thursday evening will be loaded for bear. I assume you wish to avoid being field dressed.
Ain't no way out of your dilemma but by making a clean breast of it, Joe. She is going to wave her finger at you and quote your fulsome remarks at length – no stranger she to dangling participles. She will do a John Kerry on you, which worked so well four years ago. You were for the war before you were against it, she will wink. And she will have a field day, if not a field dressing.
I don't know what your motives were in giving the president permission to attack Iraq – whether it was the neoconservative-cum-Israel-lobby cabal, the Cheney notion that the only way to ensure the supply of foreign oil is to control it, or a calculated move to ensure your viability as a candidate for president (the kind of thinking that turned out to be, deservedly, the kiss of death for Sen. Hillary Clinton). You had more luck, landing on your feet – sort of.
But you are a "grave and growing" danger (so to speak) to the campaign of Sen. Obama; that is, unless you mount a (God forgive me) "preemptive attack." And you have only one day – not 10 – in which to prepare. It will not wait for Yom Kippur.
Here's What You Do…
And it makes sense from a practical, as well as a moral, point of view. Forget the natural inclination to try to defend the indefensible on your cheerleading for the war. To claim you were fooled by the administration, after almost 30 years in the Senate, is not going to be any more persuasive or exculpatory than to cite what other pressures you may have yielded to.
Here's an idea that might not have occurred to you, since it involves a practice that has been out of vogue for so long. Shock everyone by telling the truth! (But briefly, please.)
Some suggested text:
Gov. Palin, I feel terrible about the role I played in helping President Bush launch this godforsaken war. I confess; it was a terrible decision. I apologize to you and to other mothers whose children have been sent to Iraq, to the hundreds of thousands who have died and been injured, to all Americans and all Iraqis. And I ask for forgiveness. I have learned a painful but powerful lesson; you can count on me never letting that kind of thing happen again.
Heed Rabbi Lerner's caution: "Do not mitigate or 'explain' – just acknowledge and sincerely ask for forgiveness."
Now, Joe, to be quite honest, I cannot guarantee a good result from this kind of approach, since I have no empirical evidence. That is, although I've been in Washington 45 years, I've not seen unvarnished honesty ever risked in quite this way. But I am guessing it could be quite disarming, and could send your debate partner scurrying for less effective talking points.
You will be debating a "fundamentalist," but that is actually a misnomer. The fundamentals of Judeo-Christian morality have to do with truth- telling, justice, and concern for the unprivileged. Confessing, forgiving, and repenting are also fundamentals. Don't be ashamed of them, Joe. Embrace them. My guess is that if you do, you will leave your debate partner shocked – if not speechless.
In the process, you will have succeeded in drawing a stark contrast between the "lies to nowhere" that she continues to tell on the one hand, and your (hopefully) terse, disarming honesty, on the other. You will be free to go ahead and demonstrate that in John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin, no presidential candidate in the history of this country has made a more irresponsible selection for his running mate.
And best of all, you will be able to sit back and smile next Sunday as you listen to the second Scripture reading (from Philippians 4): "Whatever is true, honorable, and just … think about these and keep on doing them. … Then the God who gives peace will be with you."
Let Nathaniel be your model: no duplicity.

Congress is about to pass what amounts to a ripoff of the American taxpayer that will sentence us to a sick economy and dysfunctional financial sector, for years on end. The U.S. is following in the footsteps of Japan, which lost a decade of economic health because it refused to let national iconic banks fail when it faced a similar housing and development bubble burst.
Congress, like Japan's leadership, is poised to sacrifice years upon years of national economic health, to prop up an investment banking system that has become dysfunctional and failing.
We will all pay, for years, for their actions.

This is a very important video. It is 10 minutes long but it goes fast. Essentially, it outlines how the Democrats are responsible for the raising then the falling of home prices thanks to their pushing and Freddie May/Mac's pushing of subprime loans. Targeting a small segment of the population who want a home but can not hack the payments, these government run businesses(corruption and all) pushed bad loans because that is how they continued to make money$. When this unnatural cause reversed... when people started defaulting home values plunged$$.
Now, how can you argue with that? If I could see this coming how could these experts not see it coming as well. And the fact that 2 times or more the Republicans tried to stop or regulate and the Democrats blocked the regulation well, it makes this their fault.
Yes, it is just possible the Democrats are directly responsible for making an artificial home market completely detached from inflation$$. Prices were influenced by cheap loans and then those loans stopped flowing. This all goes back to the problem with the Democrats they think money$$$ thrown at things fixes everything. Here, they threw money$$$$$$$ at people so they could buy a home--they never even gave a thought (apparently) to how these people would keep their homes.
If you watch the video you will see that Obama himself worked for a law firm that pursued banks to ensure poor people would have access to loans, and homes they could not afford. This is just an aside but it should make you question: Why the heck would you ever give this guy your vote? If you still are thinking you want Obama, just remember, the another wave is coming-- more defaults are coming and these loans (which are not accounted for in the current crisis) will come to term down the line.....this is not over. And remember Mr.. Obama was planning life in public service long before he became a lawyer. His misguided thinking was set long ago in Chicago when he joined Rev. Wrong's church.
This is the misguided thinking, ideology of the Democratic party, that believes throwing money at problems is a solution$$

This is just more paranoia from Kenneth Timmerman of the NeoCon website NewsMax.
He's all a twitter about all the "under $200" contributions...as if it's some vast conspiracy...rather the simple truth that many of us donate what we can when we can out of our non-Wall Street earnings.
Read it for yourself...it's pure paranoia...

Palin is no Reagan
In the past few days, republican pundits have derided McCain "handlers" for cramming facts and figures down Palin's throat, thus causing her to lose her voice and confidence. These same pundits reference Ronald Reagan's first and second debates with Walter Mondale as prove of how Palin will perform if left to her own devises. If Palin were a Reagan, theirs would be a rational argument—but Palin is no Reagan.
Before his debates with Mondale, Reagan served two terms as governor of California (the most populous state in the nation). During his tenure, Reagan dealt with a number of complex issues:
1) Terrorism: demands from a terrorist group, Symbionese Liberation Army (S.L.A);
2) Commander in Chief: commanded the California National Guard during widespread protests in Berkeley, California;
3) Abortion: dealt directly with the abortion issue when he signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act into law—this pre-dates Roe vs. Wade;
4) Constitutional Question: dealt with the constitutional question of "cruel and unusual punishment" with the People vs. Anderson (California Supreme Court case).
Reagan unsuccessful run for president in 1976 further exposed him to national issues.
By the time of the Reagan-Mondale debates, Reagan served a full term as President of the United States. Clearly, Reagan had all of the information he needed when he stepped to the podium to debate Mondale. Reagan dismissed his tutors before the second debate because he knew the issues and where he stood on the issues.
Palin's short time as governor and candidate for Vice President does not begin to rise to the level of experience and knowledge Reagan gained as a two term governor and a full term President before he debated Mondale.
Bottom line: Palin does not have the knowledge and/or experience to competitively debate Biden on her own. Palin needs McCain's handlers to tutor her on the issues and policies.

Powerline has a compelling blog on the many fraudulent contributions for Obama--including from overseas. Here's one example, Mr. Good Will: In a letter dated June 25, 2008, the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series of $25 donations from a contributor identified as ''Will, Good'' from Austin, Texas. Mr. Good Will listed his employer as ''Loving'' and his profession as ''You.''

Pinocchio Palin will do what she has always done in debates, if you've watched any of her past performances, she never answers the questions asked. She speaks in jingo's...just like she did at the Wingnut convention and just as she's done in repeatng the same exact speech at every stop. It wont be a real debate anyway because of the format. The only thing we can hope is that Gwen Ifill will make Pinocchio Palin answer the questions that she evades with her crap GOP rhetoric..I think Ifill is up to it....

What about the Posse Comitatus Act? Why is a U.S. Army unit skilled in Iraqi urban combat deploying in the U.S. on Oct. 1st, the first ever domestic deployment of an active army unit stateside?
Why has the mainstream media failed to explore this deployment, and the status of the Posse Comitatus Act?
Army Times says this unit will be assigned to assist in quelling domestic disturbances, using "non-lethal weapons." Are these radiation-emitting, silent "directed energy weapons"? Is this the vanguard of a coming police state?
See: http://members.nowpublic.com/scrivener -- "Zap! Have You Been Targeted by a Directed Energy Weapon?"
Will this issue of using the Army as a domestic police force come up in the VP debate, or in next week's second presidential debate?
And how about THIS question re: the bailout?
Once again, Congress is being asked to rush through emergency legislation -- to cede effective control of the economy to the government.
Officials continue to blame lax lending policies on the part of the mortgage industry for spawning this crisis.
But were lenders ORDERED to offer "easy credit" to people "targeted" by government agencies?
Is government "targeting" of American citizens a root cause of the mortgage meltdown that spawned the broader financial crisis?
Consider this:

Larry And His Flask By The Lamplight Album Review
The first time I heard Larry and His Flask, I was captivated by their unique sound. In conversations with others, I tried to describe their music: rock, Americana, rockabilly, gypsy, alt-rock, Cajun? Who the heck knew what to call it, but it was damn good stuff and one hell of a fun listen.
When I downloaded the new album, By the Lamplight, I noticed that iTunes classified it as punk. Yeah, I guess that works, but these guys will never be confused with the Sex Pistols. If they are indeed punk, I think it would have to be that omnipresent Hillbilly Cajun Punk that's sweeping the music world.
Larry And His Flask most closely resembles the music of Frank Turner and Flogging Molly. On the incredibly diverse new album, we hear tinges of all the aforementioned genres and the very different sounds weave together nicely, but none of those comparisons does this Oregon-based group justice. Their music is their own; lets just call them the first entree into the new Flaskian Punk scene.
On By the Lamplight, we see them at their foot-stomping, thigh-slapping best. It's a fun journey where the songs are all over the proverbial map, but somehow they weave together perfectly. You'll hear prominent stand-up bass, banjo, ukulele, electric guitar, all kinds of percussion, and who knows what else. Good stuff…
The first track, "Pandemonium" kicks off with a cold a Capella vocal and then abruptly rips into a swinging Dixie jaunt before evolving into a clever rocker. It's a rarity in today's generally saccharine, safe rock landscape, but a harbinger of things to come on the album. "Out of Print is a more traditional rocker but still offers a hint of swing with a groove that defies you to sit still. You'll find plenty of banjo as well, including the romping "The Battle For Clear Sight."
"Home of the Slave" is a rollicking southern rock jaunt, guaranteed to become a staple in their already dynamic live show. It's got some great social commentary, but this song is dominated by the banjo and guitar riffs and addictive vocals. On "Cruel Twist of Fate" and "Tides" we see another aspect of the band's sound, as they throw in some nice brass.
Listening to By The Lamplight, I frequently found myself drawn to comparing the work to Frank Turner's. There's good reason; the band backed him recently in Europe, and released this album on his Xtra Mile Recordings label. I'm not certain, but do believe Turner's voice can be found on the album, as well. This one is not as good as Turner's masterful Tape Deck Heart (see our review here), but still a creative album worth a listen (Check it out below).
Rock On!

Day 15 – "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars
Isa decided to do 2 Bruno Mars songs in a row. I think because with such a low voice for a kid, her voice can pair well with a male voice. After this song a day project, she seems to be getting better at guitar everyday. In the beginning, she didn't want to play the guitar as much. Now, it looks like her instrument of choice.

Press Release Number: 67
|ED Christopher Ward Tells Breakfast Meeting Attendees
That First World Trade Center Rebuilding Issue has been Resolved
Port Authority Executive Director Christopher Ward told a group of downtown business leaders today that the agency has begun a new way of doing business as the World Trade Center site rebuilding moves forward, and he offered a candid and transparent assessment of the rebuilding.
Speaking at a breakfast meeting of the Downtown Alliance Downtown Lower Manhattan Association, Mr. Ward presented the assessment, which for the first time identified and detailed the key roadblocks to moving the project forward faster and more cost effectively.
In fact, Mr. Ward took the occasion to announce that the first major site issue has been resolved, telling the group that the wings of the Santiago Calatrava-designed World Trade Center Transportation Hub will not open and close - an issue that has been contemplated for over a year but not acted upon. Mr. Ward said the Port Authority and Mr. Calatrava agreed on the design change to save time and money while still preserving the overall iconic nature of Mr. Calatrava's winged design. The decision will allow the Hub to fit more easily within the overall site and not impose on the other structures including the office towers as the wings opened and expanded.
"This is a tough choice, but it is the right choice," Mr. Ward said. "It's reflective of the kinds of choices we simply must make in the coming weeks and months if we are to establish priorities and milestones, to which we can be held accountable."
Mr. Ward also emphasized that all of the World Trade Center projects will be built.
"Our report marks a new way of doing business at the Port Authority, a new way of doing business among all of the stakeholders at the World Trade Center site and, most importantly, a new way of doing business for how we manage this complex project," Mr. Ward said. "Nothing in my assessment leads me to believe that any of these projects won't be completed as promised. The questions are when and for how much, and that's where this new way of doing business comes in."
During the next several months, the Port Authority and key stakeholders will continue to closely evaluate every project on the site and ways to build them smarter, faster and more cost effectively. They will use the 15 unresolved issues and mitigation options the report lays out as their starting point.
Mr. Ward committed by the end of September to return to Governors Paterson and Corzine, the Port Authority Board of Commissioners and the general public with the second phase of this report, which will include aggressive yet realistic schedule and cost estimates for each major project that are informed by the resolutions to the fundamental outstanding issues listed in this report.
In his remarks and in the assessment, Mr. Ward also recognized the significant progress made on the site during the past 18 months since the Port Authority took control of much of the rebuilding effort.
At One World Trade Center, the Freedom Tower, seven of 24 jumbo columns that form the perimeter of the tower have been installed above street level. And the 500,000 square foot subgrade for the tower is nearly complete, which involved the installation of approximately 22,000 cubic yards of concrete and more than 1,000 tons of structural steel.
Work continues on the foundation for the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, with approximately 30,000 cubic yards of concrete poured and 910 tons of steel erected.
More than 94 percent of the foundation for the September 11 National Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center has been completed. Major work is under way on a project to preserve a piece of the existing slurry wall that will be a centerpiece of the Memorial Museum project.
The excavation of the south part of the East Bathtub for Towers 3 and 4 has been complete, and the north part of the bathtub for Tower 2 will be complete by August.

The antechinus mating season lasts for only two to three weeks. During this time, males frantically mate with females for up to 14 hours per session, producing large amounts of testosterone and stress hormones. They eventually succumb to hemorrhages and infections such as gangrene, and every mating season results in the mass die-off of all the antechinus males. The term for this kind of fatal reproduction is semelparity, and insect-eating marsupials are the only mammals that engage in it.
These Marsupials Mate Frantically Until They Die
Key Facts In This Video
Before mating, antechinus males store sperm and build energy by suppressing their immune systems. 01:05
An antechinus male will mate for up to 14 hours at a time, ultimately dying of hemorrhage or infection. 01:24
Habitat loss and the inefficient mating habits of the antechinus are greatly reducing the marsupial's numbers. 02:44

A Better Alternative to Car Boot Sales?
You may be looking to clear out your property and get rid of any unnecessary items. This might be because you are moving house, because you are redecorating or simply as a means of achieving a new start.
Whatever the reason, the process can seem daunting and it can take a lot of effort.
One popular way of flogging products that are no longer needed is to take them to a car boot sale.
Held up and down the land, these events enable buyers and sellers to come together and exchange unwanted items for cash.
This may be great for many things, such as books, old pieces of small furniture, toys and ornaments. However, when it comes to used mobile phones, you might be making a mistake by attempting to get rid of them in this way.
While there may be individuals present at the event who want to buy the device, they might not be prepared to pay much for them and you could find yourself parting with the item for too little money.
In order to prevent such a scenario occurring, you may be wise to investigate other means of passing on your handset.
For example, you could sell your phone via mobile phone recycling. This is a straightforward process that can be completed over the web and, by opting to go for this, you may well end up with more money.
There is certainly no harm in checking as when you fill in the details of your mobile over the internet, you will be given a quote estimating how much you would receive. If you are unhappy with this, you can rethink your phone recycling.

As many of my friends and family know, I love convertibles. Growing up in California a convertible was a must. Today as I hop in my car and I drive through Napa and Sonoma I really am thankful for all my amazing friends and family. Today's blog is for all those people who are suffering from drinking too much wine and eating too much turkey. I wanted to run down some of my favorite spots in and around Napa and Sonoma to enjoy a sip of champagne and drool over a well designed setting. After all the best cure for a hangover is a glass of champagne.
Domaine Chandon
If there are any french country lovers out there Domaine Chandon is the place to be. For me this tops the list of champagne spots. The tastings are amazing but the design of the grounds and structures will take you back to France in a flash. I love to buy a bottle of champagne and just soak in the atmosphere.
Domaine Carneros
Domaine Carneros also is a top spot to enjoy some champagne and bask in all the glory of the Napa Valley. France might even be a bit jealous of this lovely spot. Designed for a king this place is awesome.
Presidents will agree that Schramsberg delivers some of the best champagne in the world. Even Jay Z might have to agree with that. The design of their champagne caves is second to none with the feel of the French Revolution coursing in your veins as you sip some world class champagne. Trust me these caves will inspired the best hospitality and interior designer.
So the bottom line of this blog is that there is not cure better for a hangover than a nice tall glass of champagne!
Remember always be tasteful and always stay inspired. – Mark

Dress Like Daryl Dixon From The Walking Dead

Fashion style is really a 1 approach of major art.every single fashionista desires to help wear designer clothes.Designer garments tends to make it possible to get improving a person's Social status. A single thought would be to collaborate with a non-profit organization in your area so that when you start up your clothes swap you can inform absolutely everyone that joins as a member that 50%, 30% or whichever amount you select will go to charity. All these attributes are simply accessible in non-designer clothes and in addition, such clothes are not considerably pricey either. When I very first began, I researched endlessly to discover the greatest brands to sell on eBay.
Nevertheless, you can rent the dress for $70 plus initial shipping (from Rent the Runway) allowing you to shine throughout your red carpet moment in a designer gown – with no obtaining to pay the hefty retail price tag. However, guys stopped wearing them, and typically they are observed today only on much more femininely-styled men. So I do my greatest not to buy inexpensive clothing that is reduce just straight up and down.
Designer fashion certainly does not come cheap, particularly when looking at large-ticket products such as coats, shoes, and handbags. 1 of my favorite pastimes is to go to vintage stores and pawn shops in my area and look at designer jewelry and watches. Possibilities are that one particular of your buddies would really like to own a designer piece and put it to great use. If you have got the money, I'd also advise checking out some of the significant on the web retailers like Neiman Marcus or Saks-most carry designer v-necks, and the fabrics, cuts, and style are superb.
I used to make a lot of my garments as a teenager and each and every now and then am inspired to produce some thing new. They are quite comfortable with them and i hope they will continue to be. I like unisex clothes for guys and boys. Yes, I am part of a style barter group and we trade higher finish clothing and accessories, its a lot of fun. Dress forms (also known as body types) help a lot with fitting clothes for person shapes.
I do not like feminine styles on guys on the outdoors, but I love to get a guy to wear feminine issues for me underneath his guy clothing exactly where they never show. A cool range of T-shirts, formal and casual shirts to trousers and skirts comes beneath the children wear. Attempt bloggers for on the internet things: If you must shop on the internet, try to find bloggers who list items they discover at thrift retailers in their region on a private blog. If you are unsure about value adjustment limitations or when a sale will begin, ask a sales associate for the scoop and strategy accordingly.daryl, dixon, dress, walking

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani & Prime Minister Modi had a crucial bilateral in Amritsar at the sidelines of the Heart of Asia conference. The most important decision out of the bilateral is the soon to be started air cargo service between the two countries.
The focus is on improving trade & commerce between the two nations, & to improve landlocked Afghanistan's connectivity with the region. This will increase Indo-Afghan trade which has taken a hit due to tensions for both the nations with Pakistan.
Afghanistan is dependent on the Karachi port for its foreign trade. But the country is allowed only a limited amount of goods overland through Pakistan to India, & imports from India are not allowed at all. This seriously impacts Afghanistan's trade as the nation wants & has the opportunity to expand trade with India which is the biggest market in the region.
"We have a lot of potential for trade on both sides. On our side, it's mostly fruit & dried fruit & potentially through India to other places for products like carpets," Afghan director general for macro fiscal policies Khalid Payenda said.
Important Points of the Arrangement
- Work on setting up infrastructure at airports in Kabul & Delhi underway.
- Details are being worked out & the cargo route could also include Kandahar as a point of origin for shipping fruit directly to India.
Relevance of the Deal
- This can be seen a significant step on India's part to strengthen its ties with Afghanistan, & even strengthen the economy of Afghanistan which eventually serves in India's geopolitical interests.
- This is another step in isolating Pakistan. Even though Afghanistan does little trade with India through Pakistan, if this trade is stopped & rerouted, then Pakistan becomes irrelevant to Indo-Afghan trade ties.
- In the wake of constant terror attacks on Afghanistan soil, giving a boost to its economy will improve its own capability to fight terror.
- Also, this is very important to counter the growing Sino-Pakistan ties which are aimed at 'sandwiching' India. Such moves will divert Pakistan's attention to an economically strengthening Afghanistan, thus forcing it to depend less on its proxy-war policy against both India & Afghanistan, & also creating a strong 'all-weather' Islamic ally for India to face China & Pakistan.

A 3G version of Apple's iPhone will be released sometime next year, AT&T's CEO said, according to reports by Bloomberg.com.
At a meeting of the Churchill Club on Wednesday, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said: "You'll have it next year," when asked when a 3G iPhone would appear. AT&T is the exclusive mobile carrier for the iPhone in the US.
Current iPhones connect to EDGE-based networks for intensive data-transmission chores such as browsing and email. EDGE advertises in-the-field download speeds in the 70Kbit/s to 135Kbit/s range, although its technical top end is 384Kbit/s. 3G networks use HSDPA/UMTS technology and boast download speeds between 600Kbit/s and 1.4Mbit/s.
The iPhone's reliance on the much slower EDGE technology was roundly criticised before the smartphone was launched in June, and the issue has come up again as Apple released the iPhone in Europe, where 3G-based cellular networks are much more widespread than in the US. But in September, Apple CEO Steve Jobs made it plain that the iPhone would stick with EDGE for now because of power and battery issues.
"The 3G chip sets are real power hogs," Jobs said at the UK rollout in September. "Our phone has a talk time of eight hours, and that's really important when you want to use [it] for Internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to five-plus hours, something we think we'll see later next year."
Although AT&T's Stephenson essentially confirmed Jobs' prediction, the telecommunications executive wouldn't speculate on how much a 3G iPhone might cost. Bloomberg quoted Stephenson as saying, "[Jobs] will dictate what the price of the phone is."
Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris declined to comment.
While Apple regularly refuses to talk about any unannounced product, Stephenson's loose lips won't materially change current sales of the iPhone, analysts said.
"Some people will now hold off because of Stephenson's comment, but not enough to impact Apple's business," said Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray.

JEWISH school Mount Scopus Memorial College has edged Victoria's selective-entry girls' high school from the top VCE spot, with 44 per cent of study scores at 40 or over.
MacRobertson Girls' High School has led the state for the past seven years, but this year dropped to third behind Mount Scopus and selective-entry government boys' school Melbourne High.
All three schools got a median study score of 38, but Melbourne High and MacRobertson High got fewer study scores at 40 or over - 40 and 39 per cent respectively.
Jewish schools performed strongly this year, with Beth Rivkah Ladies College and Bialik College joining Mount Scopus in the top-10 schools in the state.
Metropolitan private schools dominated the list of top-performing schools, according to data from the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority published in The Age today.
Other than Melbourne High and MacRobertson High, the only other government school in the top 20 was the Victorian College of the Arts, where 26 per cent of study scores were at 40 or above.
Independent girls' schools also did well, with Ruyton Girls' School, Camberwell Girls' Grammar School, and Presbyterian Ladies' College in the top 20.
VCE subjects are marked out of 50, with a study score of 30 being the average and a score of more than 40 considered an excellent result.
Mount Scopus principal Rabbi James Kennard was delighted with his school's results, saying the school had a strong work ethic.
''It's an opportunity to pay tribute to the wonderful work of our students and staff,'' Rabbi Kennard said.
''The Jewish community is fortunate to have a number of very fine schools. The love of learning and the desire to succeed perhaps plays a part in the success of students at Jewish schools.''
MacRobertson High principal Jane Garvey said she felt a sense of relief at the school's slip from first to third, describing the high ranking as an ''albatross around our neck''.
''Students feel they have a standard to maintain and it's a real problem for them - they feel they might be letting themselves down.
''I think they'll be disappointed, everyone likes to be first, but when they've got used to the idea they'll be pleased that Melbourne High has done so well.''
Ballarat Clarendon College was the only regional to make it into the top-20, with tiny Wycheproof Secondary College the top-performing rural government school, its results on par with Melbourne schools such as Xavier and Tintern Girls' Grammar School.
Wycheproof acting principal Ken Rumbold said the school, which had six students doing year 12 VCE and two doing the Victorian Certificate in Applied Learning, had the advantage of small class sizes but still relied on keen students.

When Does It Make Sense for a City to Downsize?
When New York's South Bronx started hemorrhaging residents in the 1970s, it pursued a policy of "planned shrinkage," whereby the city scaled back its services in hopes of consolidating residents into a smaller, more manageable area. But that school of thought, Gratz charges, only gives cities momentum to keep on shrinking.
So when the remaining residents of South Bronx were left with piles of uncollected garbage, broken streets, and closed schools and fire stations, they had to rebuild without the City's help. "[They] fought back fiercely, refused to leave, took over vacant buildings, fixed them up on their own, stuck it out with minimum city services, and, with mottos like 'improve don't move,' set about on a sweat equity path that was the catalyst for a slow, incremental citywide rebound... That is why New York grew again, instead of shrank."
And now, seven years after Hurricane Katrina left New Orleans in shambles, the same "slow, incremental rebound" is taking place in the city's Lower Ninth Ward. Though the neighborhood received "few dollars and little energy" from official relief efforts and continues to see the tropical wilderness slowly encroaching on the landscape, "clusters of rebuilt houses and new construction are not hard to find. The sound of the hammer or buzzsaw is ubiquitous."
"Officials too often assume shrinkage is inevitable. But do they ever inquire of the diehard hold-outs why they stay? The answers are clues to regeneration instead of assumptions of continued loss."

A vendor in a Stormtrooper suit (with a plastic laser gun) at a Star Wars con in Janesville, WI, was surrounded by police after someone called the police and said that there was an "armed robber" in fancy white armor at the local Ramada.
The alleged suspect was dressed as a Stormtrooper, a soldier for the Galactic Empire in the science fiction movie series "Star Wars."
"Apparently some people who saw him felt there was a threat," said Sgt. Kay Nikolaus of the Janesville Police Department.
(Thanks, Bonnie!)

BioWare has announced a multiplayer bounty weekend - Operation Savage - and invited players from around the world to take on Reapers, Geths and Cerberus, starting Friday, 22 June. As usual the event features two distinct goals comprising community and squad goals.
The main mission of the player community or Allied goal is to kill 7,000,000 trooper enemies before the time runs out, while the squad goal is to survive co-op mission through extraction on any difficulty including a mix of Korgan, Vorcha or Batarian classes. While the squad team can have any combination of the aforementioned classes, other races will not count for the squad mission. As Neoseeker notes, even soloing matches are permitted and full extraction isn't required either; which makes the squad goal virtually a freebie of sorts.
The Allied team members are entrusted with the task of eliminating massive numbers of Husks, Cannibals, Geth Troopers and Cerberus Assault Troopers in their quest to win the Victory Pack comprising a random selection of special rewards.
"With so many planets conquered in Council space, we are relying on material support from the Terminus Systems. Eliminating risks to our supply line is a top priority," reads the message on BioWare's official blog.
You may recollect that Vorcha class was introduced with the free Rebellion DLC released back in May. On successful completion of the squad mission, each of the players will get a Commendation Pack. Critics and sceptics might yearn for a little more creativity with the weekend events, as the results are becoming increasingly predictable while the mission challenges sound monotonous. There is no real demand for players to adapt and it seems high time for BioWare bring in some changes to multiplayer gameplay.
Operation Savage is scheduled to kick off at 6 pm PST on Friday, 22 June and conclude at 4 am PST on Monday. Reward packs will be distributed on Tuesday evening if the mission is successful.

Journalist David Warsh reviews former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's latest book and refers to Townsend's 1979 paper, "Optimal Contracts and Competitive Markets with Costly State Verification," in his discussion.
Journalist David Warsh reviews former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's latest book and refers to Townsend's 1979 paper, "Optimal Contracts and Competitive Markets with Costly State Verification," in his discussion.
Former students of Robert M. Townsend honored his influence and teaching with a conference in Chicago last month titled "Theory & Measurement: Financial Systems and Economic Development." Reflecting both Townsend's scholarly impact and collegial style, the informal conference was notable for the high quality of the scholarship presented, a keynote address by Thomas J. Sargent, winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, and a commemorative lunch talk by Neil Wallace, Professor of Economics at Pennsylvania State University and Townsend's own thesis advisor.
To learn more about how people in developing countries thrive, Robert Townsend has built his career on empirical analysis framed by strong theoretical work. His approach made him a trailblazer among development economists. On May 21-22, students and colleagues shaped by his influence will gather in Chicago for a two-day conference honoring his legacy of scholarship.
Townsend presented at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. His presentation, titled "Theory and Application of financially integrated measures of household behavior," introduced the methodology of surveying household behavior techniques. The talk was moderated by María Luengo-Prado.
In the aftermath of the recent Global Crisis, models with pecuniary externalities have regained the interest of researchers as they seek policy interventions and regulations to remedy externality-induced distortions. There is a growing literature on fire sales and amplifiers where private agents undervalue net worth in a period of financial distress because they fail to internalise that net worth has positive spillovers on other agents.
A new paper, "The Great Equalizer: Health Care Access and Infant Mortality in Thailand", finds that improved hospital access lowered the infant death rate among Thailand's poor within a year. In this article, Peter Dizikes of MIT News Office, interviews Nathaniel Hendren and Robert M. Townsend, co-authors with Jonathan Gruber, to to find out more about this dramatic shift.
This blog post by Alicia Brindisi discusses Robert M. Townsend's recent paper, "Accounting for the Poor", and explores ideas related to the lifecycle and consumption needs of the urban and rural poor. While rural poverty is a persistent problem in Thailand and in other developing countries, Brindisi suggests that it should be addressed within the context of urbanization in order to acknowledge the interconnectedness of rural and urban populations.
This article explores planned large-scale infrastructure -- including high speed rail -- and stimulus spending in Thailand. Opponents of the program have called for fiscal prudence and have questioned the amount of public debt it would require. MIT Professor Robert M. Townsend points out, however, that average debt-to-asset ratios are low and have been decreasing since 2006, a fact which suggests that concerns about spending are overstated.
Drawing lessons on more than 15 years of fieldwork conducted by Robert M. Townsend, this documentary reveals the emerging spirit and dynamism of the Thai people and shares extraordinary observations about the nature of emerging markets, what makes entrepreneurs successful, how their communities support them, and the large role they play in national growth and the creation of wealth.
Joana Lenihan reviews "Chronicles from the Field: The Townsend Thai Project." In her review, she notes, "(The) book gives us valuable insights on the running of such a project and is written in an honest fashion, which will appeal to readers from a wide variety of disciplines, and to both academic and non-academic readers alike."
