"I brought myself down. I impeached myself by resigning."
-Richard M. Nixon-
Writtten by: Nurlaili Azizah (071112001)
Richard Milhous Nixon or used to be called Richard Nixon is the 37th President of USA (1969 to 1974). In governing US, he had already intoxicated by power. He took all ways to maintain his presidency. Fraudulent actions done by President Nixon wafted by two reporters of The Washington Post. Those scandal known as Watergate Scandal and became the greatest political scandal in US history along 20th century. It consisted of divisions, efforts to cover up close, the funds for bribery, deception, black list, illegal recording, etc. It brought Nixon on the verge of impeachment. US Attorney General was not possible to close those criminal action. American political elites tried to avoid the occurrence of impeachment against him. Compromise that taken at that time, Nixon was asked to resign from his position. Finally, he resigned from his position as US President on August 8th, 1974 during the impeachment process going on, so it had not reached yet to the decision of the impeachment process.
I took those quote because it is so relevant with the sixth weekly topic, Congress: Decision Making Process. Impeachment is one of its subtopic. It itself means a formal indictment or accusation by legislative to state officials. It focusses on the process and do not necessarily end with a stop or decrease the President or state officials from office. Based on US Article of Constitution, the subjects of impeachment are President, Vice President and all other civil officers of the US. Officials can be impeached for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
In my opinion, the existence of impeachment is quite important for all countries. Why? It is needed to control the behaviors of state officials. If the officials do something that harm or deface the state dignity, they can be impeached. If impeachment does not exist, maybe the officials can do everything without being fear to be dropped from their positions.
Until now, impeachment has not happened yet in Indonesia. According to Mahfud MD, Chairman of Constitutional Court in Indonesia, impeachment is not good for development of democracy in Indonesia (http://www.pelitaonline.com/read/politik/nasional/16/5456/mahfud-belum-ada-alasan-bagi-pemakzulan/, accessed on May 27th, 2012). Impeachment effort itself is still quite difficult to do. Because, until now, there is no constitutional reason that can be the basis to dismiss the president.

text: Cold, wet weather may cause problems Continued from Page 4A under the Metrodome's inflatable roof and moving from artificial turf to real green grass. The Twins started life outside. They played their first game in roofless Metropolitan Stadium on April 21, 1961. They played their last game at the Met on Sept. 30, 1981, and the stadium was torn down in 1985. The Metrodome opened April 3, 1982, and the Twins have now played there for more than 20 years. It was built by the state government of Minnesota for $68 million, with construction starting in 1979. The 'Dome holds 45,423 fans for baseball. The new stadium is built to hold 40,000. The final plan won approval Nov. 9 from the Minnesota Ballpark Authority. Construction is under way, with the park to be ready for opening day that April, marking the Twins' 50th season in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The current price tag is $412 million. The Twins are paying $152 million, Hennepin County $260 million. The design calls for a canopy over the upper deck and there will be some "comfort areas" on the ballpark's concourse where Twins officials say fans can go to warm up or cool down, depending on the weather. A heating system will be beneath the playing field. The new stadium's look features lots of glass representing blue water - an architectural allusion to Minnesota's many lakes - and slabs of native limestone. The park will be on Third Avenue between Fifth and Seventh streets in the vicinity of the Target Center in Minneapolis. There will be train service to the new Ballpark Station and a large parking garage next door to the stadium. Interstate 394 runs along one side of the complex. The Fifth Street side will have viewing areas - a throwback to the knotholes of wooden fences - for people to watch for free from outside the stadium. In some ways, the Twins can't be completely blamed for agreeing to a roofless stadium. The Minnesota Legislature in 2006 specified that the new stadium if built would be open-air. If you've ever swung a bat in cold weather, you know the numbing sting of a mis-struck ball, and if you've ever pitched in cold or wet weather, you know how hard it can be to get your grip right. Why does that matter? Taking a gamble on a long drive to see a winning team is one thing. A losing team is quite another proposition. The Twins' current marketing mantra is "This is your state. This is your team." Minnesota isn't our state. Soon, the Twins might not our team as much either.

Freedom: Redefined – A Modern Definition in Need of a Shake-Up – Think Differently
Good evening world!
Before I begin I have a small message:
This blog was created to spread a great number of ideas and sources of information that can enlighten, expand and shape the minds of real individuals. This change, if it has not already happened to you, must be a choice of the heart and I will not waste time trying to convince the obstinate individuals who assume a normalcy bias, use ad hominem attack and display unjustified complacency on the state of things. However, I do believe that humanity is generally curious and that most people, if they are educated freely and have broken away from certain imposed preconceptions, are open to truth via intuition and a strong impulse towards right and wrong. Those who wish to can think differently and help to change the world, if only a small part of it, if they really try. This blog is for those people… (More Follows below video)
Please check the "Real Education" tab for links and information about how to educate yourself
Only in the feeling of freedom does humanity shine at its brightest.
It is my belief, and this is a belief that no doubt appeals only to a minority within our society, that the idea of freedom has been substituted for a petty imitation. A synergy of desire and demand has been simulated to replace true conceptions of freedom and the only visible freedom we observe in our society is nothing more that our freedom to consume; to fulfil this simulated demand and desire through the exchange of money and goods.
It would be fair to regard our society as fairly shallow, hedonistic or "enthusiastic", that we have merely become empty vessels, attempting to fill the void with all manner of expensive and desirous things. Perhaps this void can be attributed to a lack of belief; that god has left the heart and mind, spurned by a new age of science which attempts to introduce a firm, readily observable set of preconceptions about the world.
Maybe it's down to the fast paced lives which we are forced to live, this world where information, commerce and communication can be accessed immediately. Maybe we've got so used to not waiting for anything and not believing in anything that we think that's all the world should be – the here and now, the present observable world where I can get my TV set TODAY with my brand new phone that's absolutely FREE like all my friends did.
This defines the world now, the freedom of choice, which is observable and tangible, unlike religion, and we're encouraged and manipulated to believe in it. We aren't interested in that which we cannot readily obtain. Why fight for freedoms of a higher kind, such as freedom from suggestion? I can choose 70 different makes of margarine at the supermarket and an apparently endless selection of mobile phone contracts; what more do I need? This choice represents our freedom, this is our ideal and we demand it. We need to contact our friends to tell them about our new phone and regale them with stories about our sordid relationships involving margarine and twins. That is freedom my friends!
Throughout history we have thought, fought and died for ideas and conceptions of freedom; whether these are based around ideas that promulgate a philosophy or proselytize a religion or those that involve the preservation of culture and family values. The willingness to fight for such things, not that we should fight per-se, has completely left modern society. The only things we are prepared to fight for are the protection of our interests and things with a high price tag. To protect ourselves from the terrorists who might destroy all that we value in a recognisable, comfortable consumerist society. To protect business from the tyrannical domain of governments. To defend democracy, not for the sake of democracy, which is an illusion, but for the sake of the economy that functions within it; both covertly and overtly. There is a startling lack of love in the things we seem to value in freedom, a surprising lack of humanity and feeling. And what do we do when something "threatens" freedom, like 9-11 say. We go and bomb the fuck out of a a straw-man set up as our enemy and rally behind our flag as if this affirms our ideal of freedom.
The idea of freedom is abstract and I don't have time to define it here. However, I'm pretty sure that my ideal conception of the word FREEDOM has very little to do with the amount of finite material choices available to me and the amount of money that big businesses can make from the act of my choices between them.
In our new, modern and limited conception of freedom there is very little room for change or redefinition. Anyone who lives outside of our value structure or believes anything other than what the new material and secular culture teaches; anyone who "thinks differently" that is, is regarded as a nut:
"That guy lives in a wooden hut and doesn't have a mortgage or bank loans to pay for an expensive and useless education that he attained from a university that has forced him to be a debt slave for the rest of his life. That weirdo travels the globe without a tedious job allowing him to evade the laws of governments that seek to control him through the creation of fear; the fear of not being able to pay debts due to unemployment; the fear of having his house being repossessed; the fear of being outdone by his neighbour or his school friends who he has been ruthlessly pitted against from a young age…
…That hippie grows his own food instead of buying it at extortionate prices from the oligarchic businesses that profess to offer us choice while really all they do is destroy the independent competition through purchasing power and low prices that destroy our ability to choose. That loon reads and walks the fields when he could be watching the TV that gives us the freedom to distract ourselves from the real horrors that are being perpetrated by the corporations who control the programming….
….The clown believes the free world we live in is in fact controlled by these businesses who manipulate world governments through their interests in gold or oil or power. That kook adds up all the times said governments have lied to us over the course of history and believes that the free-media outlets across the world, which are owned by leading foundations and organisations such as the Rockefeller's and the Rothschild's, are spreading propaganda and generating psi ops to make us support their illegal wars and sordid interests….
…That conspiracy nut thinks that these interests are in fact linked to the fact that said organisations also hold shares in weapons companies like Lockheed Martin and that huge loans will have to be taken out, first generated by the free-thinking, free-choice individuals of the world through ever-increasing taxes and cuts on public spending. The idiot believes, in-fact, that the fractional reserve currency system which is in fact a system of debt is actually geared towards generating efficient debt slaves that are ignorant of the fact that only 3% or less of the money in society actually exists, that banks generate extortionate profits from the interest rates of money they lend out (ten times the money they generally have) and reap massive dividends from their shared investments….
….The seditious slime ball believes that it is wrong of these corporations, bankers and collected organisations who "in-fact" dictate government policy and agenda and impose the figureheads of our state, are wrong to make us pay back the money that never existed and was extorted from the labour of those too ignorant to see they were being ripped off in the first place. In short I hate this man who wants to tell me my entire world view is based on the fallacy that I am actually free and not a mere gear in the well oiled machine of the new world order."
The world is geared and those gears are all working to move it in a single direction. One where the world is unified in mind and spirit, where we all believe in the rights of businesses because they define free-society, a world where we believe in interest and the lottery and wealth because it makes our lives easier. But it doesn't. We spend our whole lives trying to pay everything off that we bought to make it more easy (cars, houses, phones) and miss out on the things that we could have been enjoying in their absence. We think wealth, which very few of us ever truly attain, will solve our unhappiness but it doesn't and the fact that we are paying for the minority to work that out tells me there is something wrong with the system.
Freedom? You call this freedom. Some serious thought needs to be put into what we truly want out of this world or we will lose it forever. We need to break free. We need to redefine. Destroy their fake concepts through non-violent non co-operation. Start a protest, quit your job, travel the world, pray, make your own bank holiday and don't buy anything, get a tent, get a rucksack, wander the globe, wander the mind, wander with a book, think differently. But whatever you do, Find and be yourself, live your own rules, make the change you want to see in the world. Redefine Freedom in yourself; it's what you decide it means – bring back the love and bring back humanity….
Keep Thinking Differently :P………………

brown sugar cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Place butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat on medium speed for one minute more.
Add the dry ingredients, all at once, to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until the dough begins to come together and the flour disappears. Stop the mixer and finish incorporating the ingredients with a spatula. Once all the flour is thoroughly mixed in, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place a rack in the center and upper third of the over and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Dollop tablespoons size balls of dough onto the baking sheet. Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

With colours you can set a mood, attract attention, or make a statement. There is psychology behind colours, they tell stories. By selecting the right colour scheme, you can create an ambiance of elegance, warmth or tranquility, or you can convey an image of playful youthfulness. I want all four of my final images to allow people to know which image is recreating what season, from my use of colours.
Having done a lot of research into different colours, I found out a lot of information to do with what the colours represent and this will be a massive help when deciding which colours I am going to use for each season.
- Orange: Energy, Happiness, Vitality, Halloween
- Yellow: Happiness, Hope, Bright, Summer
- Green: New Beginnings, Abundance, Nature, Growing
- Blue: Calm, Responsible, Sadness/Depression, Winter
- Pink: Sweet, Lovely, First Love, Flowers
- Purple: Creativity, Royalty, Wealth, Romance
- Black: Mystery, Elegance, Evil
- Gray: Moody, Conservative, Formality, Dull
- White: Purity, Cleanliness, Virtue, Light, Snow
- Brown: Nature, Wholesomeness, Dependability, Autumn
- Tan or Beige: Conservative, Piety, Dull
- Cream or Ivory: Calm, Elegant, Purity
Complimentary Colours Complementary colour schemes are created by combining colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel. They bring out each other, they make a visual contrast, thus both colours appear stronger against each other.
As you can see from looking at the colour chart above, the blues are opposite to the yellows/orange, therefore they are complimentary colours. By using a yellow eyeshadow around this model's eyes, it will amplify the blueness, as the colours are complimenting each other.
This colour theory also applies by wearing a mossy green colour eyeshadow and a bright red lipstick.The result of the complimentary colour scheme looks nothing but strikingly beautiful.

On Friday night I went to see Jumper with Bryan and Emily. I was excited to see that the theatre wasn't very full (I wasn't surprised though) right from the beginning I knew pretty much what to expect.
Jumper: A dude with the power of teleportation (Anakin Skywalker) uses his power to pop himself all around the world, getting rich and doing whatever the hell he wants, and the other guy (Samuel L./Mace Windu on meth) is severely jealous of this power and wants to kill anyone who poses this power (yeah there are more).
Now this may seem like a generalization but really what else do you need for story. Sure Anakin's dad isn't so great, his mom is also a so called paladin (jumper hunter) and some other stuff. But seriously it's just a movie about teleportation. I'm happy with that. It allows me to explore, through the magic of cinema, my fantasy of possessing this power.
Remember Nightcrawler in X2, ya it's the same thing except a whole movie full of cool transporting FX. Special FX in this movie are really quite fantastic (although there were some noticeably bad chroma keys) it was fun watching the characters teleport from place to place, especially with vehicles. I also really liked how the environments around the characters teleporting were affected. And the concept of jump scars is cool.
But seriously it's just a fun movie about "jumping", even if you despise Hayden Christensen's acting, it's still fun.

Kings Sports Center is set to kick off another exhilarating season of intense 5-a-side football on Monday January 15th and Digicel is delighted to be a part of the action.
Football enthusiasts can look forward to another exciting and adrenaline filled season with the entry of new teams and players who will go head to head to battle for the championship title.
The 5-a-side football program which initially launched in April 2006 aims to showcase some of the finest football talent in the Cayman Islands.
The program welcomes both corporate and recreational teams to come out and play some fun, action packed football with a touch of competitive spirit.
Kings Athletic Director Ray Singh commented,' Our goals for the 5-a-side program have changed somewhat over the last couple of months. When we first launched the program, all we were hoping for was 6 teams to get us started. However through Digicel's sponsorship and with the help of the media we were able to build the program very quickly and spark more interest than expected with a total of 11 teams to kick off the first season.'
Mr. Singh continued,' After a successful first and second season our goals are far bigger and brighter. This season we hope to finish with approximately 20 teams and we want a large fan base to support them. With Digicel's continued support we are hoping for even more media coverage in order to provide players and referees with as much exposure as possible.'
'As we look towards the future of the Five-A-Side program we are hoping to begin operating our own international tournaments. This is a lengthy and complex process, but given our success thus far we believe we can do just about anything,' Mr. Singh added.
Football Fans are welcome to come out to support their favorite team or just enjoy some highly intense football action every Monday and Wednesday between 7pm-10pm.
And to make the season that much more exciting Digicel will also be giving away lots of goodies for the entire family.
'Digicel takes great pride in being the major sponsor of the Kings 5-a-side football league for the third consecutive season. We are pleased to support the initiatives of Kings Sports Center and enjoy making their football tournament a much anticipated and well supported event. Furthermore, this once again allows us to demonstrate our commitment to supporting the development of sports within the Cayman Islands,' said Senior Marketing Executive Gemma McLaughlin.

Dearest Buffalo,
I am writing to you because I am leaving you. I am going away being better than when I came. You have shared your grace with me. You have shared your kindness with me. You have shared your love with me. You have shared your life with me. Many times I have been on my knees thanking God for the time He's allowed me to be with you. And I promise, I will take you with me. I will leave with you in the deepest parts of my heart. I will go with the sadness of leaving you behind, though I know we will dance in the streets of gold one day. One day.
You have given me a comfortable place to stay. You have shown me many smiles and many tears. You have been my home. You have been the setting for God to reveal himself as Provider. He has given you to me as a part of His perfect provision. He knew I needed you.
I am grateful that you loved someone who was only passing through. I am grateful that you so intensely cared for someone from far away. I am deeply grateful for you. I will forever be grateful for you.
My mission is the same as before, to glorify God in my life's movements. My desire is to learn. To learn how to communicate in a new way. To learn what it is to be a servant in a new land. I pray that I would not become dull to learning each new thing that crosses the path He sets before me. I pray that He uses me to reach lives who need grace. Who need hope. Who need love.
May you know the richness and fullness of a life lived in Grace. May you know the depth of Love that comes with that life. May you know that it is worth dying for. Even more so, may you know that it is worth living for.
I send this farewell knowing that none of it could be without the power of Jesus Christ. He was responsible for my moving here. He is responsible for my leaving here. He is responsible for us being able to dance together one day. One day.
Goodbye, Buffalo. I love you.

Zero down payment, low EMI and rolled in repairs; these are the benefits of applying for a USDA home loan. They are affordable and available to every US citizen but there are certain criteria that you need to meet to qualify for this dream loan. So, are you eligible for a USDA home loan in Texas? Let's first learn about USDA Home loan.
USDA Home Loans in Texas
Getting a home loan in Texas is as easy as applying for a home loan anywhere in USA. The only special requirement for this loan is to apply it for a home in the USDA marked territory. US government plans to promote the economies of the rural areas and in order to achieve that they have defined USDA loans which are available to those who want to settle down in locations with a population of 20000 and less. America has many such suburbs and rural areas which the general public is unaware of.
Who Qualifies for a USDA Home Loan?
Qualification criteria for a USDA home loan is quite simple. USDA home loan is backed by US department of Agriculture. This loan was planned so as to bring in more people to rural areas and in turn give the local economy a boost. A smart move in itself, USDA home loan is also beneficial to the buyer financially. Let's start with who qualifies for USDA home loans in Texas.
Location of the Property
US Department of Agriculture has meticulously defined certain areas in the country where an American apply and get the benefits of USDA home loan. If a property lies under USDA classification, it is certainly eligible for the loan.
Clean Credit History
Anyone with a clean credit history is eligible for a USDA home loan. Once a person applies for a loan, the department checks the person for credit his credit history. If a person has had a clear record for last 12 months, the loan is sanctioned.
Sufficient Household Income
USDA checks the total household income of the person applying for a loan. These loans do not need any assets for approval and 2 year record of consistent income is sufficient to qualify for the loan. Student applicators don't have to show the 2 year records as well.
USDA home loans Texas are an easy way to settle down in USA as compared to any other loans. They are cheap, have very few pre-requisites and are open to every US citizen who can afford the installments. It is the right choice of a person wants an affordable loan and doesn't mind settling down in the rural parts of the country.

Anything Else (R)
IMDb; Rotten Tomatoes; Wikipedia
What to say? First of all, there's the question of what category to put this in. Obviously I went with "comedy," but there's always the temptation to put Woody Allen films under something like "art films." Not that I'm terribly familiar with his work, I'm afraid; his heyday was a bit before my time, and this... is one of those films that comes a bit after his time. There's also the possibility of "romance," and I even sort of considered "weird," but it's not really that weird. "Quirky" might be more apt, but... I dunno. It definitely feels too artsy to be comedy, I mean considering most of the other movies I put in this category, but... eh, I dunno.
Whatever. The main reason I watched this is because Christina Ricci's in it. I always love her. And anyway, this was... better than some movies I've seen her in. The main character is this comedy writer named Jerry Falk (played by Jason Biggs). Ricci plays his girlfriend, Amanda. He also has a friend named Dobel, a fellow comedy writer played by Allen (of course), who is kinda nuts (possibly even moreso than Allen's characters typically are). It's hard for me to really know what to say about the movie. Falk has all these problems, mainly an inability to leave anyone, even when he knows he should. Whatever the relationship is. There's his manager (played by Danny DeVito), who isn't that great for his career. There's his shrink, who clearly isn't helpful in any way. Dobel doesn't seem to be a great friend, for that matter. But mainly there's Amanda... who is clearly not cut out for long term relationships, for a number of reasons.
I dunno. Everyone in the movie is kinda nuts, in the way everyone always is in a Woody Allen film. But there were some laughs. *shrug* That's all I can say. I have no intention of seeing the movie ever again, but I didn't mind watching it the once.

REAL Madrid hold the key to David Beckham's future.
The Spanish giants are one of the clubs to have expressed "firm interest" in the Manchester United midfielder, the others being AC Milan and Barcelona.
And, with financial doubts surrounding both Barca and Milan, Madrid appear to be the only club in Europe with the ability to stump up the é35m United will demand and capable of luring the player.
The only hope Barca or Milan have of landing him would be to offer a deal involving a player; Patrick Kluivert from Barca, or Andrei Shevchenko from Milan would be favoured by Sir Alex Ferguson.
It's understood that Beckham's management company have already approached Madrid just in case the star makes them the team of his choice should any bid reach é35m and he opts not to sign a new contract.
There is even talk that Madrid might be preparing an attractive package which would involve Luis Figo, another player greatly admired by Fergie.
No bids
But there have still been NO bids for Beckham, which means that talk that he will leave the Reds is unfounded. United will sell, if the price is right, but so far there are no buyers.
That did not stop the speculation about Beckham's future raging to new heights at the weekend following United's confirmation that there has been interest from Spanish and Italian clubs.
The truth is that the Reds' board was not telling anyone anything new, they were merely putting on the record what M.E.N. Sport had been told unofficially.
But the very fact that United have seen fit to confirm that interest has been seen in some quarters as an invitation to an auction for the player's services.
The national media has taken it as an unequivocal sign that Beckham is being forced out.
However, there is now a growing body of opinion that United and Beckham's agents may be indulging in an elaborate sparring match ahead of the contract talks that are scheduled for later this summer.
Both club and player are manoeuvring for position, runs the theory.
United, unwilling to be drawn into the kind of long-running saga that ended in a record-breaking é90,000-a-week deal for Beckham just over a year ago, are making it plain that they do not see him as indispensable.
And for their part, Beckham's agents at the SFX group are showing that Beckham is quite prepared to leave if he does not get the deal he wants. They have had earnest talks with Real Madrid.
It is an elaborate theory, and the truth probably incorporates both poles of opinion; United will sell Beckham if someone stumps up silly money, but are also trying to put themselves in the driving seat for any future contract talks.
It must be stressed that NO bids have been made for Beckham yet. And for all the spouting about United being on the point of selling the player, there is still one missing element. A buyer.
If that buyer fails to materialize, the United board will still go into contract talks with Beckham, still scheduled to start later this summer, with a few aces in their hand.
They will have made the point that, despite his worldwide celebrity status, the England captain is still not bigger than United.
And they will also have made the point that they will stand for no messing when the talks begin. The last round of talks were interminable and unsettling for all concerned.
The waters remain as muddy now as they were before United's weekend statement.
The only certainty is that Beckham will end this summer with a new club or with a new contract on the way.
Will he go or stay? have your say

The Chronicle of Higher Education has a comprehensive and fairly balanced report by Julianne Basinger on the firing of University of Hawai'i President Evan S. Dobelle entitled Wipeout in Hawaii: A president is toppled amid claims of arrogance, cronyism, and misspending. If the link should become unavailable, the compilation at The Firing of Evan Dobelle covers much of the story. The following are a few tidbits from the Chronicle story that weren't covered earlier.
"While it looks like it's just been a one-year situation of difficulty, it's been a three-year situation," says Patricia Y. Lee, a regent who has been on the board for three years and chairwoman for the past year. "At his [Dobelle's] first-year review, he stalked out of the room and said, 'You can't fire me.' So you can see it's not a comfortable relationship." …
Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa, a professor of Hawaiian studies on the Manoa campus, believes Mr. Dobelle's endorsement of Ms. Hirono [the Democratic Party's candidate for state governor in 2002] led regents appointed by [Republican] Governor Lingle to seek his ouster. Mr. Dobelle won the professor's support after he gave $1.5-million from a discretionary fund for a new Hawaiian-studies center. "Evan Dobelle to me represented our champion," she says. "I was extremely saddened that he should be fired." But other faculty members, regents, lawmakers, and even Mr. Dobelle himself say that tensions with the board and questions about his spending existed before his endorsement.
The Chronicle also includes the following timeline entitled Steps Toward an Exit
- JULY 2001 – Evan S. Dobelle becomes president of the University of Hawaii System.
- FEBRUARY 2002 – Mr. Dobelle takes 25 donors and staff members to a Janet Jackson concert, paying for the tickets through a presidential discretionary fund of the University of Hawaii Foundation, the system's private fund-raising arm. His action prompts public outcry, and by April a state legislator calls for a state audit of whether foundation money is being used appropriately.
- SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER 2002 – The president judges the Miss America pageant in September, despite criticism from some faculty members who say doing so is sexist and inappropriate for a college leader. In November Mr. Dobelle endorses the Democratic candidate for governor in a television commercial, and a member of the university's Board of Regents resigns in protest.
- MARCH 2003 – A state audit of the university's foundation finds "a number of questionable foundation expenditures made under the guise of fund raising."
- OCTOBER 2003 – Amid increasing criticism from lawmakers and some faculty and staff members over his spending, particularly on travel, Mr. Dobelle receives a negative performance review from the regents, which he hotly disputes, both for its content and for the board's procedure in evaluating him. The review accuses him of a lack of accountability to the board, including murky reporting on finances.
- APRIL-MAY 2004 – A second state audit of the foundation again finds "questionable, even abusive, expenditures from donated funds." The state legislature passes a bill requiring the foundation to disclose more financial records to lawmakers.
- JUNE 2004 – After an evaluation that includes an outside consultant and a financial review of the president's spending of foundation money, the regents unanimously vote to fire Mr. Dobelle "for cause," but they decline to disclose what the "cause" is. He threatens to sue, and the two sides and their lawyers begin mediation. The university's accreditors criticize the board and the university for their poor relationship.
The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reported on 15 July 2004 that Dobelle allocated $90,000 out of his annual protocol fund of $200,000 on a political poll.
Documents in the draft audit of the protocol fund also show that even though the poll was commissioned in November 2002, Opinion Dynamics was not paid its $45,000 fee for the January poll until last October. The protocol fund began to run out of money toward the end of its fiscal year in June 2003, according to the draft audit. However, it was not clear if that was a factor in the late payment.
The contract with Opinion Dynamics was for $90,000 plus expenses for two polls — with a second poll to be conducted in June 2003. In a handwritten note on the contract, Dobelle wrote, "no more than $99,999 for both surveys."
Under university procurement policies, all consultant contracts in excess of $100,000 require prior Board of Regents approval.
The June 2003 survey was never conducted, Dobelle said.
A special to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin on 25 July 2004 by University of Hawai'i journalism professor Beverly Ann Deepe Keever headlined The Dobelle Debacle notes "The secrecy surrounding Evan Dobelle's interrupted tenure as UH president has done great harm to Hawaii's public university."
The spiral of secrecy that augured the Dobelle debacle began in early 2001 [before the current Republican governor was elected] when the UH Board of Regents met in a series of unannounced, closed-door meetings and agreed to a lucrative contract with Dobelle.
On March 9, 2001, Lily Yao, then-chairwoman of the Board of Regents, signed Dobelle to a contract paying him at least $3 million over seven years and giving him residency in the state-owned mansion near the Manoa campus, use of a state car and a number of other perks.
His first-year salary of $442,000 was more than double that of outgoing President Kenneth Mortimer and four times that of the governor. This multimillion-dollar commitment was agreed to just as the board was raising student tuition and Gov. Ben Cayetano was arguing that the state was too impoverished to increase faculty pay enough to forestall a strike that eventually did occur.
Contesting the secret negotiations that led to such an expenditure of taxpayer monies were graduate student Mamo Kim and the Hawaii chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), who filed a lawsuit in Hawaii's First Circuit Court. They argued that this secrecy violated Hawaii's "Sunshine Law" requiring open meetings of public agencies, except in specific cases permitting closure. This "Sunshine Law" was passed by the Legislature in 1975 in the wake of the Watergate scandal so that opening up closed doors of government would allow in sunshine that acts as a disinfectant to reduce mismanagement and even illegal or unethical decisions.
Unfortunately, graduate student Kim and SPJ lost the case. Circuit Court Judge Virginia Crandall OK'd the board's practice of recessing one closed-door meeting in order to hold another unannounced closed-door meeting without the public and the news media even being aware that the board was meeting or what it was meeting about.
Also unfortunate, the board's secret decision-making on Dobelle's high-priced and lengthy contract sent the wrong signal to the incoming president that money was no object at UH. Dobelle assumed the presidency on July 1, 2001, just 72 days before the spectacular attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon sent Hawaii's struggling tourist-based economy into an even steeper nose dive.
The rest is history — and a lot of news stories. Dobelle brought in his own management team from the East Coast, paying members up to twice the salaries of the veterans they replaced. He recommended — and the board agreed — to pay double his own salary to UH's head football coach June Jones. And Dobelle racked up a tremendous cost overrun in refurbishing his state-owned residence.
Dobelle's public aura of extravagance was magnified by his driving around campus in his pricey Porsche, rather than the state car, and buying a million-dollar-plus home while he was living rent-free in the president's mansion, College Hill. The governor is the only other state official granted the privilege of a state residence — and hers is now considerably less impressive than the university president's.
UPDATE, 30 July: Dobelle and the Regents reached a settlement while Dobelle was away (yet again) at the Democratic National Convention in Boston.
In the settlement announced yesterday, the regents will pay ousted UH President Evan Dobelle and his attorneys $1.6 million, plus payments to an insurance policy. He agreed to give up about $496,000 from a UH Foundation incentive fund. Dobelle's deal includes:
- $1.05 million payment.
- A nontenured researcher position at UH-Manoa for two years at $125,000 a year plus collective bargaining raises.
- $290,000 for his attorneys.
- $40,000-a-year payments on a $2 million whole life insurance policy for the next six years. UH will be reimbursed for its payments to the insurance company when Dobelle's heirs cash in the policy.
Nonmonetary highlights of the UH-Evan Dobelle settlement include:
- Regents rescind firing for cause.
- Dobelle resigns on Aug. 14.
- Both sides resolve the dispute without finding wrongdoing by Dobelle or the board and agree not to pursue further legal claims.

Wish To Know About Eye Care? Read ThisIt is critical to pay attention to every aspect of your life, including your health. However, if you don't care for your eyes, you're going to have quite a bit of trouble with them. Learning about well eye care can benefit you tremendously.
Get your eyes checked every year. Your eyecare professional can examine your eyes to make sure that there are no underlying problems that are developing. Even if you have good vision, it is important to get your eyes examined once a year. Doing this regularly will ensure that you will have healthy eyes as you get older.
While many understand the importance of sunglasses in the summer, most may not realize how important they are during winter. It makes good sense when your realize how reflective snow can be. Even without http://micah56calvin.blogolize.com/Great-Post-With-A-Lot-Of-Insights-About-Eye-Care-5936581 , the sun is still reflecting light to the point you need to wear sunglasses.
Keep your eyes protected when dealing with hazardous situations. In certain types of unclean or hazardous environments, you should keep your eyes protected by wearing safety goggles. These also include certain sports. Activities like lacrosse, ice hockey, or racquetball can cause eye injuries, which is why you should wear helmets that have built-in face masks or sports goggles.
eyewear experts that are known to promote good eye health. This includes a variety of leafy green vegetables, such as collards, kale and spinach. Citrus fruits provide vitamin C, which can help to maintain your eyesight. In addition, protein sources such as beans, eggs, and lentils can prove beneficial to your eyes.
Schedule an exam in the future. A lot of people simply aren't visiting their eye doctor as regularly as they should. You should have your vision checked at least once in your twenties and then twice in your thirties, but that's only if you don't have history or symptoms of vision problems.
If you are planning on staying outside for a long period of time, wear a baseball hat or visor. This can prevent the sun's harmful rays from impacting your eyes and can reduce any irritation that you feel. Additionally, your eyes will become less dry if you block the sun from entering in.
If you want your eyes to look and feel their best, drink lots of water. The more hydrated you are, the less you will suffer from dark circles. Hydrated skin doesn't allow the blood vessels to show, ensuring that your raccoon eyes (dark circles) become a thing of the past.
Quit smoking immediately. Smoking is terrible for your eyes as it will restrict the blood flow that you need to keep your eyes functioning properly. Additionally, smoking can disrupt your immune system, which is needed to flush out the free radicals in your body. This will make you feel better while improving the health of your eyes.
Get healthy today. There are a lot of different aspects behind "getting healthy" and they all have a direct relation to the health of your eyes. Eating healthy will provide your eyes and the skin around your eyes with the vitamins they need. Exercising will increase blood flow and lower pressure around the eyes.
Practice good makeup hygiene. Makeup worn on and around the eyes, particularly mascara, can be a breeding ground for bacteria. If you want to ensure that your eyes stay clear and free from infection, take a few precautions. Mascara should be tossed after three months. In addition, avoid putting liner inside of the eyelash. This can block the oil glands necessary to keep your eyes protected.
Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. If you're looking for another excuse to drink coffee in the morning, then you've found one. Studies have shown that drinking one or two cups of coffee each morning can actually help replenish tears that help keep eyes moist. Keep the limit at two cups or you'll do more damage than good.
Antioxidants can help prevent many eye problems. Studies have proven that antioxidants can help curb some of the biological deterioration people who are aging experience. It is believed antioxidants help by preventing cell damage oxidation causes. You can consume antioxidants through certain foods or even take a supplement; but, be sure to consult with a doctor first before taking one.
When you are outdoors, wear sunglasses. Sunglasses can protect your eyes by blocking harmful rays from the sun. These rays, called ultraviolet rays, can contribute to cataracts as well as macular degeneration. Blocking the rays with sunglasses allows you to protect your eyes while also allowing you to look fashionable.

Sunglasses look cool and provide benefits to your eyes. Your eye health is protected through them. If you need glasses, you can get prescription or Transitions lenses.
Take breaks if you spend a lot of time staring at the computer. It is vital to give your eyes a rest so that they can recharge and stay healthy. Take a walk downstairs or get some fresh air to revitalize your eyes during the day.
Find out information about your family's eye health history. Many eye disease run in the family. Knowing this information will help the eye doctor determine if you are at higher risk of developing certain eye problems. If that is the case, then extra precaution will be recommended to monitor your eye health closely.
Although contacts are a great alternative to glasses, they need to be handled with care. For instance, you cannot just put them anywhere when not using them; be sure to properly store them. Also, do not wear your contacts if you are experiencing a small eye problem, as they can create bigger issues.
Now that you read the above article about good eye care maintenance, you see how important it is to follow this routine. Without a good pair of eyes that most of us take for granted, we will literally feel in the dark about everything. Don't let your best assets go to waste, keep up your good eyesight by sticking to the tips from the above article.

UNCASVILLE – The players, coaches and administration of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun reacted Tuesday with the same disbelief as their NBA peers to the racially charged comments that forced the league to ban Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life.
"It's a hard thing to fathom," Sun guard Kalana Greene said. "He said some things, it's not illegal to say them. But I don't think the Clippers played for him anyway. They play for themselves and their fans. But really, you don't know how you would react until you were in the middle of it yourself. He did nothing wrong. We have freedom of speech in this nation. He can say whatever he wants.

Two heads are better than one
November 21, 2011 3 Comments
Hiring employees is expensive. I get it. Really, I do. Segregating duties to prevent fraud by employing more than one person seems like overkill. For small businesses, although desirable, it is just not feasible. It is just not realistic to expect a small business owner to employ two or more employees when they can make do with just one.
For mid and large sized companies, segregating duties is absolutely crucial. Here's an example of why…
Shaun Allen Clark pleaded guilty to a $2.3 million embezzlement scheme. Clark stole checks from The Scotts Company totaling $24,450. That was just the beginning. In 2008, Clark joined the Ohio Bridge Corporation as a controller. Between April 2008, and September 2009, he embezzled $2,310,006. How did Clark manage to steal so much money in such a short time? The answer is simple – he controlled everything…
- Clark was granted access to initiate wire transfers from the company's accounts to pay for raw materials. He used this access to transfer funds to his personal account. (Remember what I said about banks and detecting embezzlement?)
- As controller, Clark managed bookkeeping and accounting entries involving the Ohio Bridge Company and its subsidiaries. He used his access to the "books" to hide evidence of the fraud.
- Clark served as the point person for the bank regarding a line of credit. He submitted fraudulent financial statements to the bank in order to comply with the terms of the line of credit and support the embezzlement scheme.
So where did the money go? Clark reportedly spent $100,000 to buy Ohio State football season tickets. He had $101,788.35 in his bank accounts, as well as Chevy Tahoe and boat for his efforts. As for the rest of the money? Who knows…
Small companies can't hire more than the bare minimum. Preventing employee fraud at small companies requires more creativity to be successful (more to follow in a post next month).
However, medium and large-sized organizations can often afford to have more than one employee involved in a process. Doing so can dramatically reduce the potential for fraud. As this case shows, vesting all that power with one individual resulted in a seven-figure loss than would force many companies to close their doors. Saving on labor costs seems like "false economy" don't you think?
Need a writer that understands fraud? When you hire me to write an article, blog post, newsletter or white paper you get an accomplished writer that is also an expert in fraud.

> Every year I struggle with the same social battles around the holidays – Merry Christmas v. Happy Holidays. I am soooo that grumpy woman who says, "Happy holidays" back to the lighthearted elderly man ringing the Salvation Army bell who kindly says, "Merry Christmas." For years I've reacted the same way and to this day I'm unsure what exactly makes me feel so defensive about it.
For some reason when I hear someone say, "Merry Christmas," instead I hear, "You are Christian and you just don't know it." There are theories that Christmas was actually scheduled around a Pagan holiday (solstice), to help Pagans adapt after changing religions. (Holiday origination fascinates me.) I completely acknowledge majority of Americans celebrate Christmas; however, I don't like assuming everyone does. Some people call it PC, I prefer wanting to just be inclusive and not have anyone feel left out, which I assume they already do if they get told Merry Christmas all the time.
What's funny to me is that the actually root words of Christianity I believe in and love, for some reason what it has stood for in the past hundred years is what pushes me away. I believe Jesus lived and was an extraordinary human being, like the Buddha or Mohammed. Christ comes from the Greek word, christos (sp?) meaning light and lord comes from Armanian (sp?) word meaning life. I can't think of more beautiful words to represent this season – light and life.
Okay, really this post serves no other purpose than to apologize for being a Scrooge, and second to wish you a Happy Holidays, or Merry Christmas…whichever you prefer. =)
Today I'm grateful for holiday cards, fireplaces, and cookie tea.

This weekend is my weekend with the kids. I have one child who refuses to come and another who is having a friend over for a sleepover. That child will come next time, yet I am realizing that soon there is a possibility that none of them will want to come.
They live in affluent neighborhood an hour away from me. Their friends are there. They are at that age where they want to be with and see their friends. That is a normal part of growing up. I just wished that they lived closer and that their parents would not think of where I live as a slum!
Then there is the child who does not speak to me. He has taken the position that I have somehow wronged my ex-husband and will not come over or speak to me. I do not think he is going to change…

Ethereum Classic (ETC) Hard Fork on 5th March, or how to get free Callisto.
Detailed overview of all events and ETC prospects for 2018.
Hey, everyone! Some time ago I already made comments on ETC and its increasing value. Oh, yeah! It really happened the way I'd predicted. You can read my previous review here. It worked 100%! But time never stands still, and at present, there's a whole bunch of new ETC events which will enable it to scale new heights.
Coin statistics on December 28, 2017
By tradition, I'm taking a screenshot of the current price for comparison following the events.
Ethereum Classic (ETC) projections for 2018.
You all might have noticed that ETH network is suffering from an extreme congestion. Commission fees and transaction time are increasing, which leads to dissatisfaction and causes many miners to switch to the mining of Ethereum Classic Fork offspring. If this goes on, a great amount of funds will be transferred to ETC. But even if it does not happen, 2018, to my mind, will turn out to be exceptionally positive for Classic.
And now, let's examine the reasons, why the coin value might increase, and carry out a full analysis.
Concurrent factors indicating that the coin starts to attract more users:
Google trend (this is a google chart demonstrating the number of queries)
As follows from the chart, the demand for the coin has been growing lately.
Another point is mining profitability. It is currently increasing as well, which is going to draw new miners.
Everything is perfectly reasonable: a rise in the coin value leads to an increase in income!
Calendar of Ethereum Classic Events in 2018
- January 29, 2018 – Messaging system based on ETC;
- March 05, 2018 – Hard Fork of ETC Callisto Sidechain, coins will be available on a 1:1 basis;
- March 31, 2018 – First public release of Emerald Desktop Wallet;
- April 30, 2018 – Beta version of mobile wallet;
- May 31, 2018 – Working prototype of Sidechain & Enable;
- November 30, 2018 – Fully IOT-compatibility.
- The given list will be updated on an on-going basis.
A good deal of cheering news will provide the impetus for the coin growth. I think that ETC will definitely increase. I expect the price to be around $100 by the end of spring.
Good luck with all your cryptocurrency trading! Invest only the money that you can spare and make sure to leave your comments.

Episode 39 – Monday, December 28th, 2015 (6936)
As the year 2015 nearly ends, I just want to review the happenings that I had experienced in the past 12 months. I'll discuss and summarize my experiences about The Feast.
— 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 —
When the New Year 2015 started, I was so grateful to continue attending and serving The Feast at Central Mall Biñan. Saturday (Sabado) Feast Biñan (SFB) was my pastime to receive blessings and abundance from the Lord thru builder Bro. Andreus Cosio. Within most of the times when I attended, I also served for Media Ministry as a visual operator that I've been since late 2013.
In the first three months of 2015, there were the greatest times that I had ever seen in my life. The visit of Pope Francis in the Philippines last January, the second anniversary of SFB and Kerygma Lenten Recollection (KLR): Lost were the big events happened. The latter two events were present for me because I was the one to serve in Media, and it was a privilege for me, not only as an attendee, to serve in such a big event.
One of my biggest challenges at The Feast was serving (as visual operator) at KLR last April 4th where Bro. Bo Sanchez, the founder of Light of Jesus Family, was present to speak out his inspirations and his words from the Lord. This was my first time to serve where he was at the stage. This year's KLR was extraordinary and bigger compared to the past KLR that I had attended (in 2013 and 2014). It was held for 3 days (within Holy Week) at Enchanted Kingdom Tent (which is a big venue), and it was jam-packed with lots of attendees.
— 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 —
After the KLR event, I continued to attend and to serve at SFB, and it was a perfect time for me to attend Saturday nights (because I hated to stay whole day at home every weekends and during my rest days). However, right before June 2015, I was the one to be saddened when the place (in Central Mall) where Feast Biñan was located for few years would be replaced by a new tenant. It meant the Saturday (Sabado) Feast Biñan (as well as Sunday Feast by Bro. Jon Escoto) would be either transferred to a smaller place inside the mall or disbanded by replacing a new schedule in a new place. In the remaining weeks of SFB, Bro. Dreus Cosio and other head servants discussed about the move. They thought about the new place for us where it was too small to accommodate the attendees, and the session might be divided into two in a different day (which would be Sunday). However, on the last day of SFB, Bro. Dreus announced that we would move to a movie theater of SM City Santa Rosa every Sunday mornings (beginning last June 14th). This might be a temporary, but we're so blessed that we could accommodate many attendees (it's a bigger place).
However, because of security reasons, I could not go to SM City Santa Rosa where there are lots of crowded people around, and my "enemies" might probably spot me around the mall. That was one of my fears that I couldn't encounter. I told to some of my close friends at The Feast that I had to temporarily halt my attending and serving at The Feast due of personal security reasons. And my absence at The Feast happened just in time after my long distance relationship (LDR) to my textmate was broken up after three long years which made me so heartbroken, miserable and alone.
— 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 —
Since the Feast Biñan was moved to become Feast SM Sta. Rosa and the break-up of LDR, I had never attended The Feast for a long time (except for one Sunday in July where I just attended The Feast after the incident at home which made me so upset and almost crying, feeling alone). And for 2-3 months of my absence, I felt so alone and depressed especially being heartbroken. But my absence came to be end when Sis Tess, one of the members of Media Ministry, contacted me thru text messages about my love problem.
On September 6, I attended Sunday Feast at SM Sta. Rosa for the only second time actually, but it was my first time to serve for Media Ministry in a bigger venue. I met Sis Tess with some new friends in the ministry to share my experiences about the recent break-up, and they gave me some advices to make me strength. Since then, my comeback at The Feast enlightened me to attend and to serve again for the Lord despite of "tightened" security and crowded people gathering around inside the mall. And it was a perfect time for me, in just two months after my comeback, to serve at this year's Kerygma Conference (KCON).
At KCON 2015, I was the one of the lucky volunteers as servants to attend in a discounted price. But attending and serving the biggest inspirational gathering in the country wasn't easy one. While I and other servants were so ready for the preparation to serve on the first day of KCON, there was a major and last minute announcement thru e-mails, Facebook, and text messages that KCON 2015 was effectively postponed due of APEC Summit which was eventually held in Manila for days (locking down all the areas surrounding the summit including Mall of Asia complex in Pasay City). The four-day of the event was reduced into two on weekends (right after the APEC), and the talks presented by the well-respected speakers were compressed to fit the revised schedule. We're assigned to serve on the Thursday (the first day with the first three talks) supposedly when the postponement was made. But we're still blessed because we had enough time to prepare.
On Saturday, November 21st, we had a long whole day to attend and to serve at the KCON 2015: Coming Home. We started to go at Mall of Asia in Pasay at the early morning then we attended some talks of our choice. In the afternoon, we're ready to set up serving within three talks (including the one with Bro. Bo Sanchez and his wife, Marlowe) at one of the function rooms in SMX Convention Center. Although we're so tired for the whole day event, we're so happy with satisfaction to be the part of this year's KCON.
Just recently, last December 16th, after almost 14 months of my disappearance, I finally attended Wednesday Feast (Festival) Alabang led by Bro. Jonathan "J" Yogawin. I joined with my Feast friend, Earl together with his friend, Dennis, to attend the final Wednesday Feast of 2015.
— 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — 0 —
It was so great for me to have wonderful times to attend and to serve at The Feast this year. Whether in ordinary Feast sessions every weekend or big events like Recollection and KCON, I was so happy to be the part of this Catholic prayer gathering that I first discovered in 2013. Although there's some times that I was not in good mood to attend or to serve, I remain positive to have been blessed by the Lord thru giving my prayer request and receiving answered prayers (as I always go to St. Clare Monastery in Cabuyao thru my biking exercise every other Saturday morning).
For my wishes in 2016, I and most other servants and attendees are still hoping and praying to have a mass before the Feast session (the mass had not been held since after Saturday Feast Biñan was dissolved) and to accommodate more attendees up to 600 or even more to fill up inside the movie theater.
I really thank The Feast for the wonderful, inspirational and spiritual advices and values that taught and shared in this 2015. I'm praying to have more blessings and more abundance to come in my life for 2016 thru the Feast and from our Lord.
