How should one interpret the conflicting messages coming out of Moscow and Tehran last week about over whether Russia has sent S-300 air defense system components to Iran?
First, a senior Iranian parliamentarian, Esmaeil Kosari, deputy chairman of the Iranian Parliament's Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy, informed Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency on Dec. 20 that after years of talks, Russian had agreed to deliver to Iran the S-300 system's components. He stated that Iran would initially base the S-300 system around its borders.
The U.S. government took the claim seriously and protested to Moscow. U.S. officials privately said they had independent intelligence that Kosari was speaking the truth.
However, on Thursday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told a news conference in Moscow that Russia had not sent those S-300 components to Iran. He flatly denied the allegations.
Also, the government of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which has been all too happy to exaggerate its capabilities to defend the country against any U.S. airstrikes, remained silent throughout the controversy and certainly took no steps to confirm or deny Kosari's claims.
At first glance, it would appear that Kosari deliberately exaggerated and that the Russians were telling the truth when they said the crucial S-300 components had not been sent. The Kremlin has been sending out a series of dovish signals to the incoming Obama administration that it wants to improve relations with Washington and to negotiate a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty to replace the 1991 START-1 treaty that runs out a year from now in December 2009.
Also, Russian policymakers are hopeful that incoming U.S. President-elect Barack Obama and his designated Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be ready to scrap the Bush administration's plans to build two anti-ballistic missiles bases in Central Europe — one in Poland armed with 10 Ground-based Mid-course Interceptors and the other in the neighboring Czech Republic with an advanced radar array to guide the missiles on to their targets.
The stated purpose of these two bases is to defend the United States and Western Europe from the threat of future nuclear-armed Iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles. But the Russians insist the bases are really aimed at them and the survivable second-strike capabilities of their own nuclear missile forces.
It would therefore be reckless in the extreme for the Russians to endanger their prime strategic goals of negotiating a START-2 treaty and getting a peaceful agreement to scrap the planned BMD bases in Central Europe by sending those S-300 components to Iran now.
However, governments often make unexpected, rash, or self-defeating decisions for a whole host of reasons. And Russia has already supplied Iran with billions of dollars worth of nuclear technology and the engineers and technicians to build the Iranian nuclear reactor complex at Bushehr. Russia, as we have documented previously in these columns, has also already sold other advanced anti-ballistic missile and anti-aircraft defense systems to Iran: 29 Tor-M1s.
The Tor-M1s are roughly equivalent to the U.S. Patriot PAC-3 in being short-range systems especially against low-flying incoming threats like cruise missiles. But the S-300 system is designed to defend against both low-altitude and high-altitude aircraft, cruise missiles and intermediate-range ballistic missiles at longer distances of up to 100 miles. The two systems compliment each other, much as the U.S. Army's Patriot and the U.S. Navy's Standard Missile-3 do.
It is of course possible that the Russian government wants to take advantage of the interregnum between the outgoing lame duck Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration to rush through a fait accompli in delivering the S-300 to Iran in the belief that the new president's passion for arms control will lead him to turn a blind eye to the deal.
That passion to negotiate a new START treaty and to scrap the planned BMD bases in Central Europe is shared throughout the Democratic Party's foreign policy and national security establishment that will be taking over the top jobs at the Pentagon, the State Department and the National Security Council.
But if the Russians are indeed telling the truth, then why did Kosari claim that the S-300 components had been delivered when they had not been?

Duke Defeats Cal To Capture First National Title
May 19, 2009
Courtesy of Duke Athletics
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Duke University seniors Melissa Mang and Jessi Robinson earned singles victories within minutes of each other to lead the Blue Devils to a 4-0 sweep of No. 8 California in the NCAA Women's Tennis National Championship match. Duke captures its first national title in women's tennis and 10th overall national trophy in school history.
Sophomore Reka Zsilinszka was selected as the NCAA Tournament Most Valuable Player. Junior Amanda Granson and Mang joined her on the all-tournament team at the No. 4 and No. 5 singles spots.
"It's unbelievable," Robinson said. "I don't even have any words to describe the feeling. I love these girls and it's an amazing feeling."
"It hasn't quite sunk in yet, but it's unbelievable," Mang said. "I'm just so proud of these girls. To win this with Jess [Robinson] in our senior year is amazing. I could not ask for anything better."
Duke turned in its 18th consecutive win and 29th victory of the season in the title match to close out a memorable NCAA Tournament run. The third-seeded Blue Devils' 29 wins is the second most in program history, while its 18-match win streak to close out the year also ranks second.
"[This team] is unbelievably resilient," head coach Jamie Ashworth said. "I'm so proud of them. I couldn't ask for more out of these girls. We grinded out most of the year with six players and you can't ask for anything more than what they gave every single day at practice and matches. To come through like they did today and beat a great Cal team, it's just unbelievable."
Leading 2-0, the Blue Devils looked as if they had control of the match. After taking the first set easily 6-2, Robinson fell behind 4-1 in the second set to Marion Ravelojaona. The senior co-captain dug deep and started to claw her way back into the set and getting back on serve. After tying the match 4-4, the Rehoboth Beach, Del., native took the next two games to make it 3-0 in Duke's favor.
Just moments later Mang was set for championship point. Looking to serve out the match for the national title, Mang turned in a forehand winner to end the match and give Duke its first national title.
"I had no idea that I was about to clinch the match, so I was surprised when everyone came running up to me," Mang said.
Mang closes out her season with a 35-7 record and a winner in all four of her NCAA Tournament matches. Her 35 wins is a career-best as she closes out her career with 106 singles wins.
The Blue Devils championship effort began by capturing the crucial doubles point. Similar to the semifinal match, Duke fell behind early, but rallied to come back and take two of the three doubles matches.
The No. 3 pair of Reka Zsilinszka and Ellah Nze stepped on the court confident and raced to an early lead. They rode the momentum to an 8-4 win. Looking to clinch the match, the second doubles tandem of Mallory Cecil and Jessi Robinson battled hard and earned a break midway through the match. They built on the lead to earn an 8-5 win for the 1-0 overall lead.
Looking to carry the energy from doubles to singles, Duke jumped all over the Bears. The Blue Devils took five first sets, losing just six games overall on the four courts.
Granson blanked Bojana Bobusic in the opening set 6-0 to set the tone at No. 4. Mang and Zsilinszka did much of the same with their first sets 6-1 to put Duke ahead on three courts in the early going.
Zsilinszka rolled through her second set as well to take No. 3 singles 6-1, 6-2 over Mari Andersson. The win was her fifth in NCAA Tournament action and her 16th consecutive on the year. She heads into the singles tournament with a 38-7 overall record.
The national championship is the first for the women's tennis program and the 10th for Duke overall. The other nine Duke national titles came in men's soccer (1986), men's basketball (1991, 1992, 2001) and women's golf (1999, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007).

There have been three-dozen murders of women by a husband or boyfriend in the past five years in Erie and Niagara counties. The cold hard facts of domestic abuse were the topic Tuesday (Oct. 23) as the Zonta Club of Grand Island heard about the work of the Family Justice Center from its executive director, Mary Travers Murphy. Her talk was part of a special focus during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The center is a one-stop resource where domestic violence victims can access all the services they need to establish a safety plan for themselves and their children. The center has 12 on-site partners, offering services that range from law enforcement, to legal assistance, housing, family medicine and child care.
"Domestic violence does not stop at any zip code or line," Murphy told the Zonta members. She said the problem tears through every part of society, affecting young and old, women and men, rich and poor.
In the past year, there were 12,000 reported cases of domestic abuse in Erie County. Murphy said only one of every seven cases of such abuse is reported, and she talks to groups year-round in an effort to increase awareness and encourage more victims to seek help. She said one of the main reasons victims return to their abusers is that they can't access the services to help them escape. The Family Justice Center offers solutions through free, confidential services at the downtown Buffalo office and a satellite office in Orchard Park.
"Everyone leaves the Family Justice Center headed for hope, safe havens and healing," Murphy said.
If you or someone you know is being abused, call 716-558-SAFE (7233) In an emergency, call 911.
Murphy, former supervisor of the Town of Orchard Park, was a broadcast journalist for more than 20 years with Channel 7 news.
The Zonta Club is a service organization whose goal is to advance the status of women worldwide.
The Grand Island club has awarded more than $95,000 in scholarships over the years. The club also works to help women in developing countries and supports a variety of community projects, including the Grand Island Relay For Life, the Miracle League, Grand Island Neighbors Foundation, the Grand Island Rotary's Haiti Clinic Project, the Buffalo Habitat for Humanity and Carolyn's House in Niagara Falls.

Charles Bukowski (August 16, 1920 - March 9, 1994), American poet and novelist, was born in Andernach, Germany and moved to Los Angeles, California three years later. He lived there much of his life.
He acknowledged Anton Chekhov, Ernest Hemingway, John Fante, Louis-Ferdinand Céline and others as influences on his writing, and was also knowledgeable about classical music. He was extremely prolific, publishing over 40 books of poetry and prose between 1960 and the early 1990s.
One critic described Bukowski's fiction as a "detailed depiction of a certain taboo male fantasy: the uninhibited bachelor, slobby, anti-social, and utterly free."
Bukowski spent much of his life among the denizens of Hollywood's underbelly, and he was a long-term functional alcoholic. One of his poems describes his enjoyment of having a medical checkup at which he found that his drinking had had no perceptible effect on his health.
The film Barfly, starring Mickey Rourke, was based on his life, the main character being his alter-ego, Henry Chinaski. His novel Hollywood was based on the tribulations of making this film.
The poems are by default sorted according to volume, but you can also choose to sort them alphabetically or by page views.

Ledbetter Blues
Bloggers are denouncing Republicans' attack on the equal-pay bill, bracing themselves for Jeremiah Wright's latest TV appearance, and giggling at Wesley Snipes' friends.
Ledbetter blues: Senate Republicans on Wednesday successfully filibustered to block consideration of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would have made it easier for employees to sue for pay discrimination, in response to a 2007 Supreme Court decision that ruled employees have a narrow window of time to sue. Democrats were four votes shy of the 60 needed to institute cloture and end the debate.
Jessica Grose of Jezebel—who says Lilly Ledbetter "got totally screwed by the Supreme Court" and is now "being screwed by the Senate"—depresses herself further by reminding readers of Ruth Bader Ginsberg's dissenting opinion in the Supreme Court case, in which Ginsberg recounted Ledbetter's testimony about the pervasive discrimination she faced while an executive at Goodyear.
But ReasonableCitizen looks at the free-market implications of such legislation. "The premise is that people should receive equal pay for equal work. Sounds fair, but what if you are willing to work for less money than others? Should you be able to 'sell' your economic advantage to win a job? Isn't that what fair markets are about? Isn't that exactly how an average wage is established? … Is it permissible for the interviewee to ask for less money than what others make to fulfill an economic need for themselves? I think so."
At the Plank, the New Republic's Josh Patashnik criticizes Republicans for what he calls "a pretty clear abuse of the filibuster," saying, "the filibuster appropriately allows for intense minorities to block major legislation, but the key word is intense. Republicans: You not only oppose this bill, but oppose it with such conviction, and view its defeat as such a critical priority, that it merits a cloture vote? Really?"
Bloggers had particularly scathing words for Sen. John McCain, who skipped the vote to keep campaigning, for saying that, while he is "all in favor of pay equity for women," the bill would "[open] us up to lawsuits for all kinds of problems."
Kyle E. Moore from Comments From Left Field insists that lawsuits are crucial tools of justice for average Americans and shouldn't be demonized as "frivolous." "And why shouldn't women be allowed to sue their employers for pay discrimination?" he asks. "What, are we supposed to ask them nicely to please pay women what they deserve?" Kia Franklin at TortDeform adds, "To make matters worse, this bill is not a radical new law. McCain is essentially saying that a modest bill that simply restores the state of the law prior to July 2007, when the Supreme Court had it's Supreme Corp hat on, steps on the toes of big business."
The Moderate Voice's Damozel jumped on McCain's comments that women "need the education and training" to close the wage gap. "Inequality in pay for the same work is a completely different problem from the lack of marketable skills," she seethes. "Or is he just saying, in a back-handed sort of way, that maybe female employees in general really aren't as good as male employees?" Morra Aarons at techPresident is calling on women to take up MomsRising.org's suggestion and send their résumés to McCain. "I think we should ask Meghan McCain to send her resume in too," Aarons writes. "I don't think her Dad would want the Blogette to earn less than a Blog-him."
Read more about the Senate's vote on the Fair Pay Act. Slate's XX Factor discusses the bill.
Jeremiah has a bullhorn: Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, will be interviewed by Bill Moyers Friday on PBS. Bloggers are reacting to excerpts of the interview already circulating on the Internet.
Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times neatly sums up the prevailing opinion: "Fresh material from Wright -- no matter how well-intended -- is not what Obama needs." Tom Bevan at Real Clear Politics echoes the thought and looks toward the election: "Undecided superdelegates who are weighing Obama's electability in November will surely find no comfort in seeing Rev. Wright's face all over the airwaves for the next week or so."
Conservative Rob at Say Anything singles out a particularly damning quote from the Moyers interview, in which Wright claims that when Obama has "a political event, he goes out as a politician and says what he has to say as a politician." Rob drily notes that this is "[n]ot a great thing to say about a guy who is trying to campaign on his authenticity."
Wright claims in the interview that the troublesome quotes from his sermons were taken out of context. At Hot Air, conservative Ed Morrissey looks at the transcripts of those sermons and concludes: "[Guess] what? The context makes it look just as bad." Calling Wright "a conspiracist, a demagogue, and at heart someone who doesn't much like America," Morrissey says that, "[far] from absolving Obama, the context once again forces Obama to answer for the company he keeps."
On the flip side, an exasperated jazzyjay at Daily Kos implores white people to "GROW UP." He writes, "America cannot demand that Barack, or Dr. Wright, or the Black community, or the Black church or our faith traditions, and all of who we are and all of who he is to turn ourselves inside out and become some milk-toast white-washed, shadow of ourselves to keep from annoying you with who we are."
Read more reactions to Wright's PBS interview.
Snipes get slammered: Actor Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday for willfully failing to file tax returns.
TigerHawk, who feels that Snipes got off easy, found it interesting that "the flower and chivalry of Hollywood turned out en masse" to appeal to the judge for leniency. Noting the "left-wing" credentials of such Snipes supporters as Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson, Tigerhawk proclaims himself fascinated "that these and other almost certainly 'progressive' Hollywood types publicly argue for leniency for a rich man who evaded his taxes."
Meanwhile, less high-minded bloggers are having a field day with Washington's and Harrelson's oddly effusive character reference letters, which have been posted by the Smoking Gun. "Justice is blind I guess," writesBestWeekEver's Alex Blagg, "but still, how could they not have been moved by Woody's harrowing tale of his experience with racism on the set of Goldie Hawn's 1987 film Wildcats."

Score one for the dogs.
DogTV, the 2-year-old television network for dogs, asked Grammy-winning musician Andrew Dost of the pop-rock band fun. to write some psychoacoustic music for the network.
The unnamed result, nearly four minutes of harp, piano and repetitive electronic undertones, debuted Monday during a relaxation segment.
Dost says he loved creating sounds for a non-human audience and kept the music level and linear.
The music accompanies video recorded in Yosemite and together are designed to reduce the stress and anxiety dogs experience when they are home alone.
Dost is the first Grammy winner to work with DogTV and he will donate all proceeds for his work to A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue, a shelter in his hometown of Detroit.

Rotavirus is a virus that causes
diarrhea, mostly in babies and young children. The diarrhea can be severe, and lead to
Vomiting and
fever are also common in babies with rotavirus.
Before rotavirus vaccine, rotavirus disease was a common and serious health problem for children in the United States. Almost all children in the United States had at least one rotavirus infection before their 5th birthday.
Since the introduction of the rotavirus vaccine, hospitalizations and emergency visits for rotavirus have dropped dramatically.
Two brands of rotavirus vaccine are available. Your baby will get either 2 or 3 doses, depending on which vaccine is used.
Your child must get the first dose of rotavirus vaccine before 15 weeks of age, and the last by age 8 months. Rotavirus vaccine may safely be given at the same time as other vaccines.
Almost all babies who get rotavirus vaccine will be protected from severe rotavirus diarrhea. And most of these babies will not get rotavirus diarrhea at all.
The vaccine will not prevent diarrhea or vomiting caused by other germs.
Another virus called porcine circovirus (or parts of it) can be found in both rotavirus vaccines. This is not a virus that infects people, and there is no known safety risk. For more information, see Information for Parents and Caregivers.
A baby who has had a life-threatening allergic reaction to a dose of rotavirus vaccine should not get another dose. A baby who has a severe allergy to any part of rotavirus vaccine should not get the vaccine. Tell your doctor if your baby has any severe allergies that you know of, including a severe allergy to latex.
Babies with "severe combined immunodeficiency" (SCID) should not get rotavirus vaccine.
Babies who have had a type of bowel blockage called "intussusception" should not get rotavirus vaccine.
Babies who are mildly ill can get the vaccine. Babies who are moderately or severely ill should wait until they recover. This includes babies with moderate or severe diarrhea or vomiting.
With a vaccine, like any medicine, there is a chance of
side effects. These are usually mild and go away on their own. Serious side effects are also possible but are rare.
Most babies who get rotavirus vaccine do not have any problems with it. But some problems have been associated with rotavirus vaccine:
As with any medicine, there is a very remote chance of a vaccine causing a serious injury or death.
The safety of vaccines is always being monitored. For more information, visit the Vaccine Safety site.
For intussusception, look for signs of stomach pain along with severe crying. Early on, these episodes could last just a few minutes and come and go several times in an hour. Babies might pull their legs up to their chest.
Your baby might also vomit several times or have blood in the stool, or could appear weak or very irritable. These signs would usually happen during the first week after the 1st or 2nd dose of rotavirus vaccine, but look for them any time after vaccination.
Look for anything else that concerns you, such as signs of a severe allergic reaction, very high fever, or unusual behavior.
Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, or unusual sleepiness. These would usually start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.
If you think it is intussusception, call a doctor right away. If you can't reach your doctor, take your baby to a hospital. Tell them when your baby got the rotavirus vaccine.
If you think it is a severe allergic reaction or other emergency that can't wait, call 9-1-1 or get your baby to the nearest hospital.
Otherwise, call your doctor.
Afterward, the reaction should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Your doctor might file this report, or you can do it yourself through the VAERS website, or by calling 1-800-822-7967.
VAERS does not give medical advice.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines.
Persons who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the VICP website. There is a time limit to file a claim for compensation.

McKee says McLaughlin's stance on school 'will not be forgotten'
McKee says McLaughlin's stance on school 'will not be forgotten'
CUMBERLAND - Mayor Daniel McKee is accusing state Rep. Jim McLaughlin of reveling in the disruption created by the shutdown of the construction site of the new Blackstone Valley Prep charter school on Broad Street.
McKee says McLaughlin was distributing multiple copies of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management letter that orders a review of a petroleum spill - likely from 50-year-old home heating oil - found buried on the site that's been a paved playground for more than four decades.
Said McKee, "It is a shame the we have a representative who finds pleasure in seeing the children and families that he represents hurt. His celebration is premature and will not be forgotten."
For months now, McLaughlin has irritated McKee by repeating his message of worry about the 19th-century coal mining industry in the general vicinity of the school. McLaughlin has pointed to cave-ins of the past and suggested the new school could be built over a lost mining shaft.
But McKee is saying that the charter school community has many friends who will be voting against McLaughlin in his District 57 race come November.
McLaughlin, who last week was speculating about whether the oil spill might actually be related to the coal mining industry, said he's "not ruling anything out."
About McKee's criticism, he said, "He can say what he wants but I'm just doing my job. I shouldn't be holding my seat if I don't do the due diligence and make sure it's safe for kids.
"He can rant and rave, but it's not nonsense."
The flare-up comes during the first full week of the shutdown of the new Blackstone Valley Prep's charter school construction site pending a RIDEM review of the contaminant.
Idled is what was an aggressive construction schedule aimed at finishing the three-story school in time for the first bell in September.
Civic Builders of New York, the firm putting up the $15 million school at 52 Broad St., specializes in building charter schools. It had secured the lot from Cumberland last fall and - after a series of time-consuming public meetings - won the rezoning it needed to begin the work that began almost immediately.
Even as BVP was engaged by a neighborhood concerned about traffic and parking issues, McLaughlin began talking about a 19th-century coal mining history near the site and the documented cave-ins of several decades past.
Prompted by his concerns, Cumberland engaged an outside geologist who did 14 test borings, some 25 feet deep, to declare the site safe for the school.
The petroleum spill, discovered 8 feet down and attributed to the oil tank that belonged to the Currier mansion razed on the site in 1968, wasn't spotted by any of the several environmentalists who tested the 1.3 acre site in advance of building.
The town of Cumberland had taken ownership of the land in the late 1960s, and according to Town Council minutes, solicited bids to raze it in March of 1968. The low bidder was H.B. Building Wrecking of Providence at $3,900.
Forty-five years later, contractors found the buried oil tank contents in late December, prompting the DEM's letter of Jan. 24 demanding a halt to operations.
Construction continued, however, for another week.
Equipment was finally halted last Thursday after The Breeze inquired about continuing work. RIDEM reiterated its order to shut down.
Said McKee later, "I am not pleased that Civic misunderstood. The focus should be on the fact that the site is safe and the problem was self reported and correctable."
Way to go Dan! Making threats is a way to win an election.
Keep up the great work Jim! As long as you continue to run for office you will have my vote. We need individuals to stand up to mayor McMee (no, that is not a typo) and his "Boys Club" at the town hall. Remember Dan, you are in an election too this year. Your years of mismanagement, insiders deals, and promotion of your own agenda as mayor (as you say) "Will not be forgotten". Good luck in November. You are going to need it more than Jim!
Thorough work by Rep. McLaughlin
Lets face it, this project was rammed through. We took a playground away from the Valley and the deal was done fast. Blame it on an oil tank. Last I knew mercury is not in oil. I will support Rep. McLaughlin if he chooses to run again. The only nonsense here is that the land sale and the building of a three story school without parking was an injustice to the Cumberland residents.
Maybe the part time planning director should have been doing her job.
Good work by Rep. McLaughlin
Rep. McLaughlin should be lauded for his work,here, not vilified. Does Mayor McKee think that he is Gov. Christie and he is going to silence his critics, and he wants to be Lt. Governor? There are not enough people in government watching out for the taxpayer and the public interest. We should be supporting those that do. This school should not be built there, period. We do not need a bully in public office. It has been my experience that Mayor McKee does what he wishes regardless of what the citizens want.
Keep up the good work Rep. McLaughlin.
Got to love this stuff
The comments section of this weekly is a riot. Let's just make things up and be mad about it. If you agree with McKee or not is not the issue...that is YOUR opinion and entitled to that. What you NOT entitled to is making things up or just twisting things. these are the facts:
The Mayor had NO vote or say on the sale of the land.
The land was sold by the Town Council by a 7-0 vote.
I may have missed it but I read the article again and I can see anything about mercury in this issue...
Lastly the planning director didn't vote. (And shame on the town government for going with a part-time position to save money...said tongue in cheek...)
Take your hate out on the Mayor, but please do so with he correct facts.
Oh Danny Boy...
Sorry Dan, you lost my vote for Lt. Gov. (a position that should be eliminated in RI anyway.)
Let's get the FACTS right!
If you listen to the 9/18/13 Town Council meeting discussions, and review the information available at the time of approval of sale and re-zoning, this project should NOT have been approved for many reasons (including the ones that Representative McLaughlin has raised).
The Town Council approved the re-zoning and sale 4 to 2 (with DeCosta and Lambi casting the 2 no votes). Councilor Schmitt had to recuse himself from the vote, but stated later that he was against it (so, it was really 4 to 3). CumberlandFacts, it was NOT a 7 to 0 vote.
TO: Concerned Citizen please re-read my second point.
The ordinance voted on was about ZONING.
My fact pointed out was about the sale of the land, not the zoning. Also Mr DaCosta so quickly pulled a "I was for it before I was against it" political re-positioning.
From the 9/18/13 meeting minutes, approved and recorded:
(Search for them, these comments are near the end.)
"Councilor Murray stated that he wanted it on the record that the Council agreed to market this property, it was discussed at great lengths, and there was an article in the Valley Breeze regarding the listing of Currier Park for $249,000. This was placed in the budget and voted 7/0 to accept this line item."
"Councilor DaCosta responded that Councilor Murray was correct that the vote was 7/0 to balance a vote to balance the budget, which was in need. He apologized to the residents of District 1 for that vote; he wished he had vote against it."
So you can see as it was a separate vote from the 9/18 meeting; and it was 7/0. When they put the money from the sale of the land in the budget...that is selling it, or have a deficient.
right on Mac
mayor McKee has been getting to big for his britches, he's lost my vote for whatever he's running for in next election but you got my vote Mac we got the same problem in Washington they all know everything but they don't know nothing that's is why this country is in the shape its in to many know it alls. We need more like Mac common sense works ! try using it Mayor it's also what the people want!I thought this was a Democratic society where majority rules but it isn't being followed to that rule ? Keep up the good work Jim!
Just the Facts CumberlandFacts. Please!
CumberlandFacts you are spinning your comment from above. The land was sold by the Council vote on 9/18/13, Ordinance 13-21, by a 4 to 2 vote (DeCosta and Lambi the two no votes). How could Mr. Decosta have known all of the information that was reviewed and discussed in August and September when the budget was approved back in May. I give him a lot of credit for having the courage to cast what was the right vote on this one.
CumberlandFacts....Do you think tax paying residents are stupid?
Quote "The Mayor had NO vote or say on the sale of the land."
You are right. The mayor had no vote but, the sale of this parcel of land didn't fall from the sky. It was Dan's direction to put the property up for sale so his pet peeve charter school could have a place to build. It was well thought out shady plan on his behalf. That's just the way he works. So yes, he did have something to do with the sale!
A Concered Cumberland. PLEASE!
You are reading what you want to into what I am saying. I am merely bringing up the FACT that when the COUNCIL voted 7/0 to put the not yet received proceeds of the sale of that land into the budget THAT WAS THE VOTE TO SELL THE LAND. THAT IS ALL I AM SAYING. Don't read into the facts to meet your OPINION. Which by the way you are entitled to have...and Mr. DaCosta was not so courageous on the budget vote, nor every time he voted to raise taxes...BUT SAYS HE IS AGAINST DOING SO!! Do not get fooled by his johnny come lately, which way is the wind blowing stand. When the council votes on the budget it is the most deliberated and most important vote the Council takes.........one had better know the effects of the vote!
DEAR SAD02864 You seem to know a lot of info!!!!!
"Dan" doesn't have the power to direct this..you give him way to much power. Just how do you know that "Dan's" "Shady" plan was put into action WHILE SUPPORTED BY ALL SEVEN Councilors????? Even the 3 from the opposite party???
Just who are you to know that "Dan" directed this just so the charter school could buy it??????
If that is fact then please have the guts to pick up the phone and call the State Police, because he would have broken the law. But wait you can't because THIS IS JUST YOUR MIS-GUIDED HATE FILLED OPINION.
By the way if that was a FACT you had better vote out the 3 councilors from the opposite party because as they supported selling the land either they were in on the "Shady" deal or just really really bad councilmen.
You have the right to hate "Dan" all you want...go ahead and live with that hatred in your heart, kind of sad IN MY OPINION...but please at least spread the hatred with FACTS.
The 3-Republican members (the other party) DID NOT support this McKee FIASCO! (Another in a long, long line of them)
Art Lambi voted NO and Scott who was against 1t 110%, said he would have voted NO....but unfortunately he could not vote because of a pending, possibly conflict of interest ruling....the decision at the time still pending!
This whole FIASCO, more-so McKee's 'Vile Threats' is a very sad commentary on the political process we are supposed to have in this country.
It is behavior like McKee's, which I personally am also more then most aware of, is why people are so disgusted and don't want to get involved.
And this BOZO wants to be Lt. Governor....so he can what???? Cause even more harm. Dictate his own Personal Agenda as he has here in Cumberland since the day he was crowned???
I hope not!
Hopefully....this incident will finally wake people up as to what McKee really is, all about and how he conducts business!
Tom Letourneau
PS: For what it worth....all of your doubters; contact Rep. Jim and make an appointment to see the paperwork and documentation he has come up with....especially the most recent documentation on building over former mines, etc. that just came in from the dept. of Interior's Bureau of Mines....that McKee is pooh-Pooh and trying to sweep under the rug!
To: Cumberland Facts
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
George Orwell
you are right. Take your hate elsewhere.
Alfa Racer
Why can't people read what I am writing....I know what the vote was on 9/18...I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS...I am talking about the 7/0 vote to put 250K into the budget from yet to be sold land......that was when the REAL DECISION WAS MADE. If this land was not sold, and one buyer (NOT BVP) back down, the town would have had a 250K deficit.
So yes those 3 did support the very idea you are hating on the Mayor for. WHICH YOU CAN DO ALL YOU WANT...HAVE AT IT THAT IS NOT MY ISSUE. I just want everyone to know that the approval to sell the land was EVERYONE'S idea. Not the Mayor's.
Why does everyone let their hate filled black hearts blur their judgment..oh wait...I know why.
PS: all the darn paper work is worthless if the engineers did all the appropriate test boring.
The oil tank the contractor discovered AND REPORTED ON THEIR OWN, has nothing to do with Rep Jim's fight...though now he is walking around town blabbing that it was HIM who discovered this. Get real.
Also...you, as experienced as you say, know how easy it would have been to hide the oil tank and small amount of heating oil....THAT EVERY HOUSE THAT USES OIL HAS.
Hate on people hate on...
Hate is a strong word.
No hate here. It's more funny to hear your ignorance. Keep commenting. You are the only one fighting this. It's hilarious.
Best to you and your team in November.
It's just like they planned it
This "comments' section is a microcosm of what has gone wrong with our great country. Divisiveness has become the preferred approach for Americans dealing with community business across the land, from state to state, in every small town. Instead of collaborating on a common goal, two sides start by drawing a line in the sand and then square off on each side against each other's ideals. Too many of us have decided that we will no longer take part in a never-ending pissing contest. All of us will never agree on everything. Meanwhile, our country, our state, and our town are being taken over by special interest groups that see this as their opportunity to gain power and further their pointed and narrow-minded agendas. This was their contrived plan all along. While the rational business people bicker with the established locals, the seemingly un-threatening power mongers methodically align their unsuspecting forces to legally take all of the decision-making away from those who financially support the system. This truly is the epitome of "dividing and conquering"…all without a shot fired or a drop of blood shed. I'm convinced that the "American way of life" is over and the endless and meaningless bickering amongst those who have been rendered powerless…the taxpayer…will keep Americans divided until the end…nothing lasts forever.


text: When replacing the outdoor unit, should the indoor unit also be replaced? At Ackerman Heating & Air Conditioning, we do recommend replacing both your indoor and outdoor units at the same time because: Nowadays, outdoor systems are built to work with their matching indoor system for the highest efficiency possible. When you replace one system but not the other, you may not see the same energy savings as if you had replaced them together. Thanks to technological improvements, newer systems mean increased efficiency. This is true for HVAC products as well. While the advancements focus on higher heating and cooling efficiency, they also include benefits such as better air handling, filtering and noise reduction. If your heating and cooling systems are 10+ years old, they need to be replaced. Older models have outdated technology that is likely adding to your energy costs due to poor efficiency. So by replacing your indoor system at the same time as your outdoor equipment, both your systems will provide better energy efficiency that helps you reduce your energy bills and keep your home more comfortable.

Founded in 1978 in New York, Tishman Speyer ("TS") has managed 77 million square feet of real estate assets since its inception. In the last three years, the company has been involved in three of the largest real-estate deals in American history. TS is traded publicly and has around 1100 employees in 25 offices worldwide. They recently spearheaded (along with Lehman Brothers), a takeover of Archstone, which was at the time the third largest Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) in the country.
After the jump, check out the details of some of Tishman Speyer's notable developments and properties.
Notable Properties
Rockefeller Center
TS has been involved in directing property since 1996; they've owned it outright (with silent investment partners) since 2001. The company's global headquarters are located in Rockefeller Center.
MetLife Building
Purchased for $1.72 billion in 2005 from MetLife. At the time this was the highest price paid for a US Office building. TS owns this building in partnership with NYC Employee's Retirement System and NYC Teacher's Retirement System. Trivia: in 1987, New York magazine ran a poll that ranked the then-Pan Am Building as the structure New Yorkers would most like demolished. (According to Wikipedia).
520 Madison Avenue
Developed and built by TS, who assembled the various parcels of real estate on the block into a whole for the project. A restaurant that did not want to relocate was on the block and the building was constructed around them. The building itself evokes 9 West 57th Street by sloping to the street, although the slope is more angular and brutal here.
Chrysler Center
Beginning in 1998,TS redeveloped the block of 42nd Street between Lex and 3rd to link the Chrysler Building and the "Chrysler East" modern office structure adjacent to it. This redevelopment project features the notable Philip Johnson "Trylons" on 42nd Street.
Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village
Urban renewal, project-style housing development planned in 1943; the first tenancies in Stuyvesant Town began in 1947. Spans from the East River to 1st Avenue and from 14th Street to 23rd Street, and altogether includes 110 buildings, 11,250 apartments, and over 25,000 residents. TS purchased in 2006 (partnering with the real estate arm of private equity firm BlackRock) from MetLife for $5.4 B. This is the biggest real estate deal in US history. Ongoing controversy surrounding MetLife's decision to sell to the highest bidder instead of giving preferential treatment to a bid made by coalition of then-current residents. TS, MetLife and their backers are currently being sued by market-rate tenants in both communities over the fact that MetLife charged market-rate rents while at the same time (perhaps illegally) taking real estate tax benefits from the City of New York.
Notable Development Projects
At the center of the revitalized and redeveloped Potsdamer Platz, this Helmut Jahn-designed project includes 7 buildings and many uses. Helmut Jahn is also the master plan architect of record for TS' West Side Yards proposal, and in their marketing to the MTA and the public TS has noted the Sony Center as an example of their previously proven facility with projects of this scale. The centerpiece of the Sony Center, the Forum (pictured above), is a large public space closed to the weather at the top but accessible from the street grid, programmed with cultural events and activated by ground-floor retail. Interestingly enough, the TS West Side Yards proposal also includes a public space called the Forum.
Widely lauded for its achievement architecturally, this Sir Richard Foster-designed building was complex project, and involved building a totally modern skyscraper while preserving and restoring a landmarked building at its base. The Hearst building is one of the most environmentally-friendly skyscrapers in America. It earned LEED Gold status and was the first "green" building in New York City.

Development Cycle
From PKP Wiki
PKP follows a standard development cycle consisting of releases and branches.
Each branch (e.g. 2.2.x, 2.3.x, 2.4.x) represents the life cycle of a set of releases, first introducing major new functionality (e.g. OJS 2.3.0), then progressively refining it in successive releases with smaller new features, bug fixes, and additional translations (e.g. 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, and so on).
Initial releases in a branch may be termed "development" to reflect that it is suitable for early adopters but that more conservative users may wish to stick with the older "stable" branch. When the "development" branch is deemed mature enough, it will be flagged "stable".
The following charts describe the development cycles for releases and branches.

I [Heart Heart] Doctor Who Babydoll
We <3 <3 redundant systems.
Dear loyal customers, Y'all have told us with your wallets that "I [pictograph] Direct Object" shirts don't work for you. But we couldn't resist this one. Two hearts!
When our vendor brought this to us, it read, "I <3 <3 Dr. Who." We love this vendor dearly, but they're just not Doctor Who fans. After T-Shirt Girl stopped seizing, she gave an in-depth discourse on the appropriate methods of addressing the good doctor. We explained that we would have accepted "I <3 <3 the Doctor" if we're talking about the person or "I <3 <3 Doctor Who" if we're talking about the show. They took it back to their artists and the BBC, and they went with this nice, logo-based design. We approve. And we're glad we don't have to dust off our lecture again.

Local country music star, Stephanie Grace will help kick-off the 2013/2014 Campaign of the United Way of Boyertown Area at a 7 PM concert on September 27, 2013. Stephanie, currently a Junior at Boyertown Area Senior High School, is this year's Campaign Chair for the United Way of Boyertown Area who will receive proceeds from this concert.
Please plan to join the fun at the Don Kuszyk Auditorium, Boyertown Junior High West at this event sponsored by BASH Key Club, East Student Council, East Builders Club, West Teens Who Care and West Leo Club. Tickets are $5 for general admission and can be purchased at the United Way of Boyertown Area Office and from their Board members, from Greg Galtere at Jr. High West and other locations around the Boyertown area. Doors open at 6:30 PM.
However, this and other fun Campaign Kick-off events will contrast with the message representatives from the 16 agencies supported by your one donation to the United Way of Boyertown Area are delivering. The current, tough economic times continue for many of your Boyertown area neighbors who need the services of local non-profits but can not afford them. Long term unemployment, the loss of a home and/or trying to live on a fixed income are but a few of the reasons our neighbors need more services from our local agencies.
More donations from local residents to the United Way of Boyertown Area are needed to help these agencies pay for these services. Please give generously directly to the United Way (P.O. Box 213, Boyertown, PA 19512) or designate that their payroll deductions be sent to the United Way of Boyertown Area. Any size gift is appreciated and really adds up if everyone who is able gives something. For those who are able, a new or increased donation of $50 or more will be matched $1 for $1 by a grant from the Pottstown Area Health & Wellness Foundation.
Together we can make a difference in our community.
Submitted by the United Way of Boyertown.

T cracks down on fare evaders
T cracks down on fare evaders
Derek Bass was cited for fare evasion by undercover MBTA agents at the Park Street T Station recently.
Though the loss from fare evasion is hard to calculate, planners estimate it may be in the tens of millions of dollars annually.
Transit Police have devoted increasing attention to the problem, with officers writing a record 3,482 tickets last year.
Paul Cravedi (pictured) said he was outraged by fare evaders using electronic gates in rapid transit stations.
The new law makes the fine $50 for a first offense and requires payment or a request for an appeal hearing within 30 days.

Joanna Krupa has called off her lengthy engagement to Florida nightclub impresario Romain Zago.
The reality TV star ended their five-and-a-half-year engagement citing Zago's commitment issues as the reason behind the split.
She tells In Touch magazine, "We got in a huge fight, and I just pretty much got fed up with it. He loves me to death, he wants to be with me, but there's something that's holding him from committing 100 per cent. It's been more than five years, we don't have a wedding date set... Nothing was going to change."
Zago tells a different side of the story, insisting Krupa's work schedule contributed to the breakdown of the relationship, adding, "I don't know if it's over forever... She is travelling all over the place anyway. There is no way anyone can be with her like this. That's her choice."

Asus A7J 17-inch Core Duo Notebook Review
Introduction and Specifications
It wasn't too long ago that 17 inch laptops were considered excessive and its usefulness questionable, but today we are seeing an increasing number of people ditching their noisy desktops for larger laptops that are just as functional while being somewhat portable.
The Asus A7J 17 inch laptop we are reviewing today is marketed as a media laptop, but goes much further than that. With a Intel T2300 Core Duo CPU and dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, you can certainly do a lot more than just watch movies. Let's go in for a closer look.
Specifications (from the Asus website)
Can you please tell me How to access the slots to add supplementary memory ?
Thanks on advance

Perfect poppy seed muffins with lemon zest and a sugar lemon glaze.
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder (make sure your baking powder is no older than 6 months)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 10 Tbsp unsalted butter (1 1/4 stick), softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
1 Adjust the oven rack to the middle-lower part of the oven. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2 Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds, and salt and set aside.
3 In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together, beating until fluffy (about 2 minutes with an electric mixer). Add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated after each one. Beat in the lemon zest.
4 Beat in one third of the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Beat in one third of the yogurt. Beat in a third more of the dry ingredients. Beat in a second third of the yogurt. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients and then the remaining yogurt. Again be careful to beat until just incorporated. Do not over beat.
5 Use a standard 12-muffin muffin pan. Coat each muffin cup lightly with olive oil, grapeseed oil, or a little melted butter using a pastry brush. Distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups. Bake until muffins are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Test with a long toothpick (we use a thin bamboo skewer) to make sure the center of the muffins are done. Set muffin pan on wire rack to cool. After 5 minutes, remove muffins from pan.
6 While the muffins are cooling, in a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice for the glaze. Add more lemon juice if necessary. While the muffins are still a bit warm, use a pastry brush to brush the glaze over each muffin. The muffins will absorb some of the glaze, so you add more glaze to each muffin if you like.
Best eaten fresh and warm.

We are very pleased that the jury recognized the truly innovative nature of this invention
Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) September 16, 2008
Human Touch®, the leading brand of high-performance, design-oriented massage chairs for today's modern and traditional living spaces, announced today that a U.S. District Court jury awarded $1.7 million in damages to the company in its lawsuit against WFO Imports, LLC, which does business as Premier Health Products, for infringement of its exclusive patent rights directed to key aspects of its Human Touch massage technology.
In January, the Court ruled that a number of massage chairs marketed and sold by the defendant, namely Premier Health Products' PHP 2024, 2026, 2026w and 2027 massage chairs have infringed the patent at issue, which describes Human Touch's proprietary lower leg massage technology and is used in the footrest portion of some Human Touch massage chairs. The technology has a unique paddle design and movement that provides a multi-dimensional massage around the user's calf and lower leg.
Over the past three decades, Human Touch (formerly Interactive Health LLC) has invested millions of dollars into developing its proprietary technologies to effectively replicate the massage movements of professional massage therapists. HumanTouch filed suit against WFO Imports, LLC in 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Human Touch became aware that WFO Imports, LLC was manufacturing and distributing massage chairs that incorporated its proprietary lower leg massage technology, which infringed the exclusive patent rights held by Human Touch, LLC. The jury recognized the validity of the '940 patent and awarded Human Touch $1.7 million in damages.
"Human Touch is a pioneer and leader in the development of massage technology and thus holds numerous patents and trademarks. For almost three decades, Human Touch has been developing, marketing and branding innovative technology" said Andrew Cohen, President of HumanTouch. "Our retail partners, distributors and consumers know that there is a difference in the comforts and technologies of a Human Touch branded massage chair and thus we will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure that our intellectual property is protected and that retail partners and consumers are never misled by competitors."
Attorneys David Dillard and Art Hasan led the Christie, Parker & Hale legal team that prosecuted the case. "We are very pleased that the jury recognized the truly innovative nature of this invention," Dillard said. "Imitation may be the highest form of flattery, but not when it comes to a fundamental risk to Human Touch's business and immense goodwill the company enjoys with consumers and in the industry."
In a related action, Human Touch announced separately today that another U.S. District Court jury awarded $4.55 million to the company on trademark, trade dress, and unfair competition claims brought against American Lighting Industry, Inc. and other parties.
About Human Touch®:
Human Touch®, the U.S. market leader of robotic massage products, offers advanced technology and designs for consumers seeking to incorporate health and wellness into their everyday routine. Appealing to back pain sufferers, sports enthusiasts, and those looking to relax from today's hectic lifestyles, HumanTouch® delivers high-quality Robotic Massage® chairs, zero gravity recliners, and other massage products that are generations ahead of the competition. Human Touch® currently sells products to specialty stores, fine furniture stores across the country, on-line at http://www.humantouch.com as well as international retailers and distributors in more than 48 countries worldwide.

Burn ban still in effect for Nolan County
The Nolan County Commissioners' Court met for the final time in 2010 for a regular session on Monday morning, Dec. 27, at the Nolan County Courthouse.Several items were on the agenda to be considered by the commissioners. Among them were an upgrade regarding postage. The Pitney-Bowes postage meter and lease agreement was due for a system upgrade. There have been minor problems with the current equipment, but some much needed cleaning has been done to fix the problems. The upgrade includes new features such as tracking packages and any new training would be performed by the company. The new lease agreement is actually cheaper than the one currently in place, and an approval was made to upgrade.Another approval made was in regards to the new mileage rate for the new year. In 2011, the regulated standard rate from the IRS raises the price up to 51 cents per mile. The rate goes up yearly, with most city and counties following suit to stick with the IRS regulations. The raise will go into effect on Jan. 1 and should not affect any travel budgets.The burn ban that is currently on Nolan County was also discussed and considered for removal, with a report from two precincts that an inch and a half of rain was received from the previous rainfall. However, Sweetwater Fire Chief Grant Madden noted that the combination of high winds and tall grass could still lead to dangerous conditions, thus leading to an approval for the burn ban to still be in effect on the county.One topic of discussion that was tabled at the meeting was the response that is to be made to Travelers Insurance for the new recommendations on liability. The changes that Travelers recommended were concerning the applications forms that are currently being used by the county. The date of high school graduation can no longer be on the application, as it dates the applicant. Statements about possible background and driver's license checks, drug testing, motor vehicle records from the past three years and equal opportunity employment should be on the applications and implemented. There appeared to be no problem in placing the statements on the applications, but should background checks need to be implemented, an agency would need to be hired to perform the checks. Lisa Peterson stated that while law enforcement can personally perform background checks, elected officials are unable to do so. The request for the response was received on Dec. 9, and the county has 60 days to respond.Also at the meeting, an update was presented from Ray Browning with the Nolan County Health Department for emergency preparedness to the court. Browning, a new city employee, recently took a trip to Austin to acclimate himself to the position. He informed the commissioners that the current level is at intermediate, and not at the highest level of advanced. While the county is fully compliant in its current plan, several plans will need to be revised in the new year, as it had been five years since the last revision. The plan is to have the revisions done some time in April, with Browning pledging to work alongside the county to complete the revision process and possibly get them to the advanced level.Other items approved were the minutes from the previous meeting held on Dec. 13, as well as the three reports that were received from the department heads.

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Squash Blossom and Garlic Frittata
- Amanda
Somewhere, in a book, I read about how Italians make frittatas with zucchini blossoms. Because they can. And over the years I've been training myself to make thinner frittatas with fewer ingredients and to let them cool to room temperature, like Italians do. Because everything they do seems better than what we do.
This past weekend, a farmer at my local greenmarket was practically giving away giant bags of squash blossoms. So I bought some, and his eggs, as well. Italian bliss was within grasp.
The garlic scapes in my fridge gave me a forlorn look, so they got in on the action, too. I sliced the scapes and softened them in butter and olive oil. I spread the blossoms on top, let them wilt, poured in the eggs, and let the oven do the rest of the work.
The only dicey part of this recipe comes at the end when you invert the frittata onto a serving dish or cutting board. Either commit to taking charge and flipping it quickly, or play it safe and serve it from the pan. I won't judge you.
Squash Blossom and Garlic Frittata
Serves 4 to 6 as a first course
- 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 5 garlic scapes, thinly sliced, or 2 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
- 12 large zucchini blossoms, stems trimmed to 1 inch

On Friday evening, Bill McDonough, author of the revolutionary book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, will be giving the keynote speech. During his speech, he will "describe how Cradle to Cradle intentional thinking about design, architecture, and industry can create a future that is 'more good' rather than 'less bad.'"

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama this week nominated Jamie Morin, the Air Force's chief financial officer, to head the Pentagon office that forecasts the costs of major weapons systems and plays a critical role in whether they live or die.
Morin, 38, went to the Air Force in June 2009 after working for six years as the senior defense analyst on the U.S. Senate Budget Committee. As Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Financial Management & Comptroller), he oversees the Air Force's annual budget of $110 billion and its military and civilian workforce of 700,000.
He also served as acting undersecretary of the Air Force for 10 months until April 29, leading the service's efforts to implement budget cuts mandated under the process known as sequestration while protecting military readiness and high priority programs such as the Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 fighter jet and Boeing Co's KC-46 refueling plane.
If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Morin would head the Pentagon's office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE), an agency that will play a central role in determining how the Pentagon will achieve the $500 billion in budget cuts required over the next decade under the 2011 Budget Control Act.
The previous director, Christine Fox, retired at the end of June after serving as a key adviser to three defense secretaries.
The new job would put Morin in charge of a wide range of responsibilities, including ensuring the costs of classified and unclassified weapons programs; developing and improving analytical tools to analyze national security planning; and assessing the effects of Pentagon spending on the U.S. economy.
CAPE provides independent assessments of the costs of major weapons programs, a role that often has it at odds with the military services and big arms manufacturers.
Morin said he was honored to be nominated for what analysts call one of the Pentagon's toughest jobs at a time when the U.S. military must cut its planned spending by $500 billion over the next decade, on top of $487 billion in cuts already planned for roughly the same period.
"It's a remarkable opportunity at a critical time for the Department of Defense and the nation," Morin said in a statement released by the Air Force.
Todd Harrison, a defense analyst at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, said Morin would bring a great deal of experience and insight to the CAPE job.
"He's the perfect guy for the job at the perfect time," Harrison said, noting that Morin had already refereed some big policy debates during his time at the Air Force.
"He was involved in all the big discussions, he knows the issues," Harrison said. "He's got the brain power to bring to the table."

What is the ruling on working as a cashier in a store that sells haraam things such as cigarettes, pork and so on? This work is only adding up the cost of the items a customer buys, not promoting these items or carrying them and putting them in their places. Please note that the store sells other things such as vegetables, food, clothing and so on.
It is not permissible to sell haraam things such as cigarettes, pork and so on, because that is helping in sin and transgression, and because when Allah forbids a thing, He also forbids its price. The cashier is the one who handles the sale directly, so it is not permissible for him to sell haraam things, and he is sinning every time he sells a haraam item. His sin is no less than that of the one who promotes it and the one who carries it, because he is the one who conducts the actual sale and all other activities are connected to what he is doing.

And Allah knows best.
