Top-level apologies over high-speed rail debacle fail to pacify lawmakers
Related topics
An apology from the transport minister failed to quell mounting criticism in the legislature over a two-year delay in the high-speed rail link to Guangzhou.
Lawmakers from both the pan-democratic and Beijing-loyalist camps ramped up calls for the minister, Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung, to take responsibility for the HK$67 billion project, which is tainted by accusations of lying and a cover-up.
The increasing pressure on Cheung included calls from two pan-democrats for him to resign, and pledges by a pro-establishment party as well as the pan-democratic party where he was once vice-chairman to back a Legislative Council investigation. An executive councillor also said Cheung had clearly made "a grave error in judgment".
That was despite Cheung's public apology yesterday for his poor handling of the construction delay and not telling legislators about it.
"I should have told lawmakers … back" on November 22, Cheung said at a meeting of the Legco railways subcommittee. "I apologise to Legco and members of the public. I am willing to bear the criticism."
Asked repeatedly by lawmakers to quit, he said: "I feel remorseful for the incident. After years in politics, I understand that politicians have to face various challenges and choices. I have been reflecting."
Cheung said he had wanted to tell lawmakers at a November 22 meeting that the rail link might not be ready by the target of 2015.
But he changed his mind after MTR Corp chief executive Jay Walder called him the day before to assure him that the existing schedule was still feasible.
On Saturday, Cheung said he had given the MTR Corp "the benefit of the doubt".
Civic Party lawmaker Claudia Mo Man-ching said Cheung's "integrity was in doubt". "My impression is the government has shed its responsibility and blamed it all on the MTR Corp for bad management," Mo said.
"Some lawmakers have proposed a vote of no confidence against you, which I tend to support, so my question is, minister, would you consider stepping down?"
League of Social Democrats chairman "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung echoed the question.
Others wondered aloud if a new investigation was in order.
Helena Wong Pik-wan, a member of the Democratic Party (of which Cheung was vice-chairman in the early 1990s), said lawmakers should exercise their authority under Legco's powers and privileges ordinance to establish an investigative committee.
Did the government and MTR use "one lie to cover up another?" she asked.
Executive councillor Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee said Cheung had clearly committed a "grave error in judgment", but invoking Legco's special powers might be a waste of public funds.
"I don't see what purpose a P&P can serve at this stage … other than to get more heads rolling," she said.
Timetable for the Guangzhou trains that are running late
2010 Construction starts on the fully underground, 26-kilometre Hong Kong section of the high-speed railway to Guangzhou.
March 2013 MTR projects programme team realises work on northern part of West Kowloon terminus and tunnel linking Mai Po and Shenzhen's Huanggang Park is significantly behind schedule. MTR decides rail project is still on track for completion in 2015.
April Contractors estimate terminus will be finished only in June 2016. MTR urges them to look for solutions to catch up with schedule.
June MTR realises 2015 target can be met only if it opens terminus in stages, putting only six of 15 tracks into use initially.
July MTR executive committee agrees with partial opening.
September Highways Department is briefed on partial opening. It does not indicate agreement, but asks MTR for more information. Plan was never announced to the public.
October MTR asks contractors for proposal to complete project in 2015 based on partial-opening plan.
November Government intends to tell Legislative Council of possible delay, but is stopped by MTR chief executive Jay Walder, who calls Transport Minister Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung and says deadline is still feasible. At Legco railways sub-committee meeting, Cheung's undersecretary Yau Shing-mu says major works can be finished in 2015, but tests and trials will take another six to nine months. After the meeting, MTR presents schedule towards completion to government, which says it is too brief.
February 2014 Terminus contractors tell MTR that even with partial-opening plan, terminus will not be ready until June 2016.
March Black rainstorm causes serious flooding in Yuen Long tunnel and damages tunnel-boring machine.
April MTR and Cheung announce rail link will not open until 2017. Cheung says he is taken by surprise. Projects director Chew Tai-chong decides to retire early. MTR announces internal investigation.
May Cheung sets up expert panel to investigate project and government's role. Panel chairman Professor Lee Chack-fan resigns because of conflict of interest.

Triangle tattoo meaning is really rather spacious and different. The specialists are sure that this geometric figure can be applied to any part of the human body, adding some specific sense to the personal self-expression of the owner.
By the way, in many situations triangles can be styled. Some guys and ladies prefer to combine them with other characters, symbols and ornamentations. They open up many opportunities, despite of their visual simplicity. For example, three triangles tattoo is among the most popular types of skin decoration. – It attracts so many people all over the world, that it is really possible to start thinking about its mystical character.
It is necessary to mention that in various cultures three angles were taken a bit differently. That is why a geometric triangle tattoo may be taken as a cycle of rebirth like "life-death-life" as well as life cycle of a "birth-life-death." In Celtic mythology three geometric figures (a so-called trinity) was very common, because the symbolism of Celtic triangle tattoos can be viewed in different ways. For example, "daughter-wife-mother" can be triple symbol for a lady. The specialists believe that it is very simple to enclose your own personal meaning in a triangle.
Who choose this kind of skin decoration?
Triangle is a unisex symbol. It can be chosen both by women and by men at any age. These differences can only in sense that is embedded in a tattoo.
By the way, many stars have tattoos with triangles. Small triangles meaning is appreciated by Jordan Hinson, Lauren Elizabeth, Zoe Kravitz, Ivy Levan, Britney Spears, Johnny Depp and others. Celebrities usually choose this simple symbol, rarely adding to it anything else.
The meaning of Masonic triangle with the eye
The particular popularity has been gained by the image of the triangle with an eye inside. This is the famous Masonic symbol, which is in the modern world used not only by members of the Order of Freemason. All in all, everything, which is connected with the Masons, is usually covered with a veil of the mystery. That is why the using of Masonic symbolism, including the tattoo, does not necessarily mean membership in Freemasonry. But it usually demonstrates an interest to acquire a secret knowledge.
Combination with other symbols
There is a great amount of symbols, which can be used together with a triangle set. Often it is supplemented by one or more triangles. In such a way it is possible to create a real pair tattoos for lovers. Additional symbols will only depend on the meaning that is embedded in a tattoo.
The choosing a place for the Triangle tattoos arrangement will also largely depend on a meaning. As a rule, the tattoos with triangles are usually small and can be located literally anywhere: behind the ear, on the neck, shoulders, at collarbones, chest and back, on the abdomen and sides, on the thighs and lower legs, wrists and fingers. And we can't but mention that small triangle will always be perfectly combined with other tattoos located on the body.

Brother Blue, Storyteller of Harvard Square and beyond...
Posted Nov 05, 2009 @ 09:51 AM
Last update Nov 05, 2009 @ 10:50 AM
Dr.Hugh Hill, storyteller and Cambridge personality known to generations as Brother Blue, has died.
Hill, 88, died at his home Nov. 3.
Brother Blue was born in Cleveland, Ohio on July 12, 1921. An exceptional student, he served in the US Military from 1943-1946 in both theaters during World War Two; he was honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant. He obtained an AB from Harvard College, an MFA from Yale School of Drama and his PhD from Union Graduate School.
By the late-1960s Hill, always accompanied by his wife Ruth, was telling stories on the streets, in prisons, in classrooms and more. His stories always allowed the listener to imagine bigger worlds, see themselves in the heart of the tale and believe that they, too, were storytellers. Brother Blue said that he told stories, "from the middle of the middle of me to the middle of the middle of you," and that if you heard another person's story you could never harm them, so stories could save the world.
"I promise to live the story of unconditional love," said Brother Blue in a Cambridge Chronicle story six years ago. "I promise to sing a song from the middle of the middle of Brother Blue to the middle of the middle of all creation."
In 2003, "Ahhhh! A Tribute to Brother Blue and Ruth Edmonds Hill" was released The book, published by Somerville's Yellow Moon Press, is a compilation of stories, poems and photos submitted by area poets, writers, artists and just plain fans. A committee from LANES, the League for the Advancement of New England Storytellers, also based in Somerville, assisted in the project.
Brother Blue ran a storytelling series in Cambridge for over 20 years, where many storytellers found their own voices. Brother Blue and his wife Ruth always listened with uncritical and loving ears, encouraging everyone. He received multiple international awards for his art and was the official storyteller of both Cambridge and Boston.

Blue was a hero to me. Blue married me to Lauren Carver, 22 years ago this December. My parents were shocked, snow fell out the long barn windows, and people saw wonder when he told his stories.
I was lucky enough to play harmonica behind Blue for several stories on the commons, and once at SUNY Purchase. I always played better than I knew myself to play, working with him. He was a truly amazing force.
I'll miss him dearly, he did stunningly beautiful work.

Pierre Boulez has mellowed. In fact, some would insist he has joined the musical establishment that he once so furiously decried.
The one-time enfant terrible of contemporary music; the outspoken revolutionary who once called for all opera houses to be burned to the ground; the ardent polemicist who led a booing section at a Stravinsky concert; the fiery didact who denounced ``new`` works that he considered merely facile novelties; the voluntary exile from his native France for two decades, now takes pains to accentuate the positive.

Tamiflu In High Demand
The flu season is getting worse, weeks before its usual peak. Health officials say it's shaping up to be as bad as the 2009 H1N1 outbreak.
Th flu is widespread now in more than two-thirds of the country. Many came down with the flu over holiday break and now some could be bringing it to work.
Before you head to the doctor for a diagnosis, it's important to know that the flu isn't a head cold.
Dr. Melody Mendiola at Hennepin County Medical Center's Brooklyn Center Clinic said, "Influenza is a high fever, aching in every bone in your body, a little bit of a cough. It really can knock you off your feet for a good four or five days."
Mendiola, who specializes in internal medicine, said patients at the clinic are asking for prescriptions for Tamiflu to shorten their illness.
She said it can help, saying, "It would probably shorten it anywhere from one to three days."

Anna-Kat OttoPlayed by Julia Butters
At 7 years old, Anna-Kat is the youngest member of the Otto clan: tiny, adorable, and sweet. She has OCD, which results in some strange behavior: she has to stand still whenever the clock is 13 minutes past the hour, she has one ritual for going up stairs and another for everything else in her life, and she is compelled to pee exclusively in the back yard. At the same time, she's a total germaphobe--even though she's learning the hard way where she can and cannot put Purell Hand Sanitizer. Despite her father Greg trying to teach her that "friends are more important than germs," Anna-Kat has a tough time making friends in Westport. But her mom Katie takes solace in the fact that Anna-Kat's getting the special needs attention here that she requires, and Katie hasn't found like a bag of cat heads in her room yet or anything like that, thank God!
From the very beginning Julia's parents nurtured and encouraged her to be creative. The Los Angeles native naturally took to performing re-enactments of scenes from her favorite films and has even written a few original scenes of her own.
When Julia was four years old, a commercial she did for California Almonds captured the attention of a writer for "Criminal Minds," who wrote the episode "Gabby" with Julia in mind.
Julia loves the time spent on set working on new characters. Her most notable roles include work on "Transparent," "Best Friends Whenever," "Term Life" (directed by Peter Billingsley), "The Rusted," starring opposite Jenna Malone and Josh Hutcherson, "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" (directed by Michael Bay) and "The Headhunter's Calling," starring opposite Gerard Butler and Gretchen Mol. Outside of acting, Julia's greatest loves in life are school, dancing, Brazilian Jiu jitsu and anything cats.

Title – The Social Network
Director – David Fincher
Starring – Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake
Release Date – Out Now
"You don't get 500 million friends without making a few enemies." Well, for one thing, they're not technically his friends. David Fincher's The Social Network depicts the creator of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), as an intellectual loner. Zuckerburg is isolated not necessarily because of his computer programming genius – Harvard babes love that type of thing – but for his seemingly nihilistic attitude to relationships. Zuckerberg favours the social capitalism of 'the facebook', ultimately leaving him and one-time best friend Eduardo Severin (Andrew Garfield) in the midst of a bitter lawsuit.
Fincher's extraordinary film takes place over three timelines, with one time frame elapsing into another by way of explanation through flashback. It's a style Fincher does extremely well, and the chaotic structure brilliantly adds emotional depth to the narrative.
As the plot is gradually unveiled, it's difficult to decide who the bad guy is – apart from the obvious snake-in-the-grass Sean Parker, the founder of Napster, who is played surprisingly brilliantly by Justin Timberlake. Parker's seemingly effortless cool is best highlighted in the standout scene, wherein he casually exits a restaurant in which the main characters are located, telling the impressionable Mark to "drop the 'the'" from 'the facebook', as it sounds "cleaner".
It seems Timberlake has finally found his acting niche – as one of those characters the audience loves to hate. Parker acts as the catalyst in the demise of friendship between investor Eduardo and creator Mark, and highlights the main, inherently social issues raised by the film – loyalty and betrayal.
The film's structural conceit – how the narrative is explained through the framing device of the two lawsuits – turns what could have been dry subject matter into a dramatic, visually interesting and fast-paced 120 minutes. The film's ingenuity becomes apparent when we begin to question the validity and truth of each character's testimony, and in doing so, challenge not only our own ideas of who the 'bad guy' is, but challenge the ability of the film itself to represent the truth.
This is not a film about Facebook. This is a film about social interaction, about being human and all the jealousy, frustration and greed that comes with it.
In a Nutshell: A Rashomon-esque exploration of truth in which the cast and director emerge with credit.

Scientists from the National Marine Sanctuary Program, in a cooperative effort with State of Florida researchers, put on their detective hats for a recent expedition that set out to unravel the mystery of a shipwreck that has eluded identification for more than three decades.
Resting peacefully in the shallow waters of Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Marathon, Fla., in an area dotted with vibrant patches of coral and the shadowy hulks of lost ships, the "mystery wreck" is thought to rank among the oldest known shipwrecks in the region.
Funded by a mini-grant through NOAA's Maritime Heritage Program, state and federal archaeologists converged on the site from June 20-28, documenting the wreck for the first time since the sunken ship was discovered in the early 1970s and hunting for clues that may help shed light on its murky past.
The research team spent nine days surveying the wreck, making a detailed map of the area and recording every inch of it with still and video photography. Divers retrieved small samples of the hull and of a coral formation that had established itself on the exposed ballast pile of the ship, sending the specimens off to laboratories for further examination.
While no gold or jewels were discovered at the site, the mystery wreck is now home to a different kind of treasure. When it grounded and eventually sank on the patch reef where it now rests, it became incorporated into the reef and now hosts a teeming assortment of marine life.
"It's a beautiful site, and almost totally unscathed," said Brenda Altmeier, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary program support specialist. "When you mix biological significance with the site's cultural value, that really encompasses what the Florida Keys sanctuary is."
Roger Smith, state underwater archaeologist and principal investigator for the research mission, said researchers were surprised to find that the ship's wooden hull seemed to be extraordinarily well-preserveda rarity for shipwrecks in the warm, shallow waters of the Florida Keys, which tend to accelerate the decomposition process.
Analysis of the samples revealed the startling reason for the hull's relatively pristine state: the material originally thought to be wood was actually concrete that had been poured into the spaces between the now-decomposed timbers of the hull.
"We were confused at first," Smith said. "Then we realized that what we were looking at was essentially a negative of the hull. I've spent my whole adult life studying shipwrecks, and I've never seen one with this kind of construction."
Based on a preliminary assessment of the expedition's findings, archaeologists believe that the wreck was likely a small 17th-century Spanish vesselpossibly a messenger ship or scoutwhich would make it more than 300 years old. The ship, which ran aground on one of the area's many patch reefs, was probably salvaged of all valuable equipment before it sank.
Bruce Terrell, senior archaeologist for the National Marine Sanctuary Program, said a treasure hunting expedition scoured the wreck for valuables in 1972, but found only a handful of cannon and musket balls and pottery shards that have been dated to the early 1600s.
Altmeier said the valuable cooperation between the participating agencies and the ideal weather conditions resulted in a highly successful mission.
"It was great opportunity for the sanctuary program and the State of Florida to work together," Altmeier said. "It's tremendous for us because it lays some groundwork down and it turned out to be a great expedition for everyone involved."
While there is currently no final word on the vessel's identity, researchers will continue to study the expedition's findings in the months to come in the search for further clues.

From Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA:
I've had type 1 diabetes for 22 years, have been trying to get on an insulin pump for a long time, and several years ago, an endocrinologist told me that was too fat to use it. I finally found a doctor who would let use a pump, but since I started it (about eight months ago), I have not been able to regain control of my blood sugars (even when I was sticking faithfully to the prescribed diet and insulin to carb ratio).
I am currently on a single basal rate, my doctor did change my insulin to carb ratio during a recent infection, and I for which i did not back after the infection was gone. I am 5 feet, five inches tall and weigh almost 300 pounds. I was above that weight when I first started the pump, but of course the blood sugars have been high enough to cause some weight loss (which is part of why I haven't been pushing to get it all sorted out). Should I push for more basal rates? Was that first endocrinologist correct when he said I am too fat to use a pump?
You did not mention hemoglobin A1c values which would be important information. If you are not in good control based upon blood glucose readings, either your basal rates are incorrect or your insulin/carb ratios are incorrect or some combination.
You need to problem-solve based upon before and two-hour postprandial blood glucose values and then decide if you need more of one or another type of insulin at any given time. It is impossible to answer this type of question in any more specific but you should go back to your diabetes team and work with them. In general, the more overweight you are, the more insulin resistance you will have and the higher doses you will need at that weight.
[Editor's comment: I agree with Dr Brink in that you should do extensive blood glucose monitoring to determine how your insulin needs to be adjusted. Your situation might well be clarified by monitoring sugar levels continuously for several days to try to sort out what's happening in more detail. See The Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and ask your doctor about using it. You might also wish to review insulin sensitizer as an adjunct to your pump therapy. Please set up an appointment with your diabetes team to discuss all these options. SS]

But if there's somebody I dislike even more, it's Kenneth "Whitewater" Starr.
The pompous hypocrite who wasted almost $40 million ($70 million if you count what his predecessor also spent) investigating Bill Clinton's non-crimes got his karma's-a-bitch last week.
Baylor University -- eyeing how much Jameis Winston cost Florida State University -- demoted its president, Starr, and prepared the way to sack football coach Art Briles.
It's all because Baylor ignored claims of sexual assault by football players -- including some who were convicted.
Which explains this recent out-of-nowhere, but too late, rewrite of history by Starr about Clinton's legacy.
According to the New York Times, "Mr. Starr was stripped of his title as university president but will remain Baylor's chancellor and a professor at the law school."
Probably has something to do with the millions he raised for Baylor.
Starr, again from the Times, accomplished this feat, by "yoking (Baylor's) fortunes to football. Much fund-raising was centered on building a gleaming on-campus home field, McLane Stadium, which opened in 2014, the same year that Mr. Starr added the title of chancellor to his role as president."
Back in February, Starr said this in a letter: "Let me be clear: "Sexual violence emphatically has no place whatsoever at Baylor University."
That sounds familiar.
Yep, back in 1998, Bill Clinton uttered those famous words:
What goes around . . .

PORTO striker Vincent Aboubakar celebrated the Portuguese club's UEFA Champions League DEFEAT against Besiktas last night – by rejoicing with the Turkish club's players in their dressing room.
The Cameroon star made a shocking show of where his loyalties lie – having shone on loan for Besiktas last season.
Aboubakar was not in the Porto squad as they lost the Champions League group opener 3-1 in Portugal.
But the way he readily joined in the Besiktas party is sure to shock not just his club but football across Europe.
Perhaps they themselves could not quite believe what Aboubakar was doing.
But a cheeky message was planted across the video: "My brother @vincentaboubakarofficial09… I miss him."
He was also a wanted man throughout the summer – but for a different reason.
Swansea and Newcastle were among Premier League teams sniffing around, with talk of a £9million deal.
French side Rennes were also briefly tipped to nab him - before being scared off by his reported £2.5m annual pay.
Everton are also thought to be long-time admirers.
And many were surprised when the £75m sale of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United was not followed up with a bid for the ex-Lorient frontman.
Aboubakar has hit 22 goals in 47 games for Porto.
And he was a fans' favourite at Besiktas as he netted 12 times in 27 matches.

Whether big cats on U.S. soil or tiny bats around the world, more and more species are being driven toward extinction and crammed into smaller slivers of habitat as a result of unchecked climate change. That's bad for the diversity of life on Earth and often bad for people, too, according to recent research by conservation biologists and other analysts. But amid the gloom, some promising strategies might protect people from harsher climates while preserving nature.
At the annual conference of the Society for Conservation Biology, held earlier this month in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 128 of the nearly 1,100 research presentations, posters, and papers dealt exclusively with the impacts of climate change on the Earth's species. The lesson learned: that this impact is nearly always negative. Perhaps twice as many additional studies considered climate change alongside other major drivers of extinction such as population growth and habitat destruction, making climate change the biggest issue at the conference. Not even 10 years earlier, climate featured heavily in only half as much of the Society's work.
Biologists aren't the only ones predicting big deaths from runaway climate change. Computer scientists and bioinformatics specialists (who merge detailed biological data with high-powered computing) have recently weighed in with equally serious forecasts, such as those for America's lynx and jaguar, which face a double whammy of warming habitats and human encroachment.
As we've frequently reported on ReVolt and other Worldwatch blogs, loss of biodiversity can have major impacts on people's welfare. Research on climate-affected bat populations, for example, provides information on the decline of an important crop pollinator. And losing the lynx and jaguar could bring significant overall economic losses, studies suggest, because these species contribute to ecotourism, fur trapping, and the control of rodents and deer. Meanwhile, climate change-driven bioinvasions, such as the projected spread of Argentine ants, can replace economically beneficial local species and damage cash crops.
Yet there's some cause for warm fuzzies despite the dire predictions. New case studies show how preserving biodiversity can protect people from the worsening climate impacts. Natural adaptation measures include restoring salt marshes to buffer worsening storm surges, or conserving fruit and nut trees to shade against hotter temperatures while providing food for markets. Still, without stronger measures to curb changing climates, many of the fluffy fellows under scientists' watch face a bare future.

PEEKSKILL, N.Y. -- Metropolitan Transit Authority Police are investigating the death of a man who was struck by train in Peekskill early this morning.
According to MTA spokeswoman Marjorie Anders at 3:42 a.m. a Hispanic man in his mid-30s was struck by a 1:50 a.m. Hudson Line train traveling local from Grand Central to Poughkeepsie.
The body was removed at 5:26 a.m. A rescue train from the Croton Harmon Station picked up the 25 customers, who were on the move at 4:27 a.m., according to Anders.
Anders said the man was a trespasser. According to Anders, the man was walking north along the tracks and was hit from behind. Anders said the man did not have any identification on him.

A Free and Open Internet that Can't Be Allowed to Be Free and Open?Submitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2015-11-16 22:40
You know there are big problems with the so called "principle" of net neutrality when the New York Times writes an editorial headlined "Why Free Can Be a Problem on the Internet" and their editorial has nothing to do with protecting consumers' privacy/safety or protecting content from piracy, but it is only about the potential problem of consumers enjoying free Internet content for marketing purposes!
What a scandal! Someone call the FCC! Innovative commerce is happening on the Internet!
Few things make net neutrality activists look sillier, more nonsensical and hypocritical than their knee-jerk somber opposition to innovation in broadband pricing and marketing via differential pricing, sponsored data, zero-rating plans or other creative and experimental pricing or marketing plans – that all naturally result from a highly competitive wireless market.
Net Neutrality Trumping Privacy Undercut the US-EU Data Safe HarborSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2015-11-10 14:47
Please don't miss my latest Daily Caller Op-ed, "Net Neutrality Trumping Privacy Undercut the US-EU Data Safe Harbor."
What Lessig's Presidential Candidacy Did for Net Neutrality & CopyrightSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2015-11-06 16:35
No surprise that political activist Larry Lessig, the intellectual leader of the net neutrality and anti-copyright movements, ran one of the most cynical, undemocratic, and stunt-driven Presidential candidacies ever, because that's exactly the kind of cynical, undemocratic, stunt-driven campaigns his political followers have run to un-democratically dictate net neutrality and to undermine copyright protection online.
The "common" thread of Mr. Lessig's political grand strategies is his core elitist political assumption that people are stupid and that he can manipulate the masses into believing whatever he wants them to believe.
It is supremely rich and ironic that Mr. Lessig would run a Presidential campaign with the stated singular purpose of ending "corruption" by passing his version of campaign finance reform legislation, with such an apparent corrupt political Presidential campaign strategy.
Let's review Mr. Lessig's stated Presidential campaign strategy to see if it appears corrupt.
Does U.S. Antitrust Law Apply to Google?Submitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2015-10-27 10:32
How the DOJ and FTC handle two high-profile Google market behaviors that appear on their face to violate two different U.S. antitrust precedents, will speak volumes to the world about whether U.S. antitrust law still applies to Google, or not.
First, does the DOJ believe that the new search partnership between #3 Yahoo and #1 Google -- in the highly-concentrated U.S. search market -- is anti-competitive like the DOJ concluded previously in opposing the 2008 proposed Google-Yahoo search partnership?
The FCC's Abjectly Illegitimate Premise for More Cable RegulationSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2015-10-23 12:51
There are troubling signals that the FCC is gearing up to further increase regulation of cable -- on top of the extra-legal new utility regulation the FCC already did in its 2015 Open Internet Order.
What is profoundly troubling is the abject illegitimacy of their premise for more regulation of cable, i.e. the FCC's new arbitrary and capricious definition of broadband that illegitimately redefined long-recognized, strong broadband competition -- out of existence with the stroke of a pen.
So what are the signals of more cable regulation? Two speeches from the FCC Chairman, one from the FCC General Counsel, another from the DOJ Antitrust Chief, a variety of Hill and edge-industry entreaties to regulate cable more via new MVPD or ALLVID regulatory proceedings, (but of course without regulating favored edge providers), and an explosion of new opposition to the proposed Charter-Time-Warner merger (by the exact same cast of characters whose opposition doomed the Comcast-Time-Warner merger).
This broad simultaneous level of focused regulatory chatter and organized activity is not coincidental, but highly-orchestrated and abjectly illegitimate.
Why is more cable regulation abjectly illegitimate?
Why the FCC Approach to Special Access Regulation Is All WrongSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2015-10-19 23:18
The FCC's approach to special access is all wrong because they should be doing the exact opposite of what they are doing. The FCC should be price de-regulating special access, not signaling increased micro-regulation of special access rate terms and conditions.
Like an ostrich, the FCC has its head hidden in the sand on its approach to special access regulation, hoping that no one notices that the rest of its body is fully exposed.
If the FCC can convince everyone to join them and put their heads in the sand too, and to look at special access regulation in the dark of self-defined isolation, and ignore the broader context of the competitive U.S. communications sector visible all around them, the FCC has a reasonable chance of sounding reasonable.
However, if anyone has their head out of the FCC's regulatory sandpit and looks around for a moment at special access regulation in the broader context of the real world, more special access regulation looks ridiculous, just like the exposed back-end of an ostrich does when it hides its head in the sand.
Will Government Spectrum Permissions Throttle 4G Evolution to 5G Wireless?Submitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2015-09-30 15:24
To try to justify mandating Title II utility regulation of broadband and the blocking of the Comcast-Time Warner acquisition, the Administration and FCC had to gerrymander broadband definitions to reach their political goal that wireless broadband service not be considered an official competitor to wireline broadband service.
Never mind the obvious: that the nearly three quarters of Americans who use a smartphone know that one can functionally do most everything one wants on a mobile smartphone/tablet/laptop that one can do on a wireline connection. Also never mind: tens of millions of Americans who use only wireless broadband for all their Internet needs.
To try to justify preempting State limitations of gigabit muni-broadband build-outs and its cheerleading for Government Owned Networks (GON) to politically and economically devalue commercial broadband competition, the government had to ensure that the wireless industry could not create four more very-high-speed competitors to wireline cable and telco broadband providers.
It did so by unilaterally changing Federal spectrum policy to starve and limit the amount of licensed and unlicensed spectrum available to wireless users long-term, because for smartphone users -- spectrum is speed. Limit spectrum, limit speed, to maintain the charade that wireless broadband does not compete with wireline broadband.
Top Ten Questions about FTC-Google-Android Antitrust ProbeSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2015-09-28 18:13
The U.S. FTC has opened an antitrust probe of Google's Android mobile operating system per Bloomberg reporting to investigate allegations that Google has anti-competitively limited competitive services on the Google-Android platform and extended its market power by favoring Google services over competitors'.
Top Ten Questions Raised by FTC's Google-Android Probe
Municipalities: Broadband Is Not a 'Core Utility'Submitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2015-09-25 10:03
It is timely to fact check the Federal Government's storyline that broadband is a 'core utility,' given a new White House report that directs municipalities that broadband is a "core utility… like water, sewer and electricity;" and given that a senior FCC official recently encouraged local municipalities at the NATOA conference to build their own local broadband infrastructure with the FCC's backing now that the FCC has claimed the legal authority to preempt State laws limiting municipal broadband.
Google's Internet Association Hypocritically Begs Digital ProtectionismSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2015-09-23 11:28
The juxtaposition of Google tacitly accusing the EU with "digital protectionism" and "discrimination" as the EU's Digital Chief, Günther Oettinger, visits D.C. and Silicon Valley, while the Google-created Internet Association this week asks for U.S. protection from ISP "discrimination" in an appeals court brief in support of the FCC's Open Internet order – exposes exceptional hypocrisy.
Antitrust and privacy regulators around the world weren't born yesterday. They know Google and its online platform allies want it both ways – manipulating policy to advantage them and disadvantage their potential competitors.

There seems to be an inverse correlation developing between the powers of government and the emotions of voters.
Last weekend's Sydney city local government elections serves the point. The independent Clover Moore and her team belted the Liberals to win a record fourth term for her as Mayor. The main reason seems to have been a backlash at attempts by the Liberal state government to interfere in local politics. In the lead up to the election there were very acrimonious fights about the amalgamation of various councils and the right of businesses to vote in the elections, a move thought to favour the Liberals. In the end it did exactly the opposite.
The powers of local government are relatively insignificant compared to the powers of the state and federal government yet when messed with locals react angrily. There were fist fights last weekend at polling booths.
It must be something to do with territory. The closer the decisions are to home, the greater the emotional response is to the perceived violation of property rights.
When this theory is applied to the so-called 'fourth tier' of government, an owners corporation, it explains much about the often challenging behaviour strata committees and managers must deal with day-to-day.
With this in mind, changes to strata laws will likely achieve little in terms of reducing communal living conflict. Turf wars have been going on since the beginning of time and this is not about to change with the stroke of the Parliament's pen.

Our recent article on Citisun entitled "Trump Vows To Drain The Swamp In Washington D.C." sparked interest, and raised a question worth exploring further, regarding term limits. Trump vowed repeatedly during his campaign to see to it that a Constitutional amendment would be added to impose term limits to all members of Congress. In response to our article on draining the swamp, a comment / question by a Facebook poster asked:

Edited by John Coonen – In a lengthy Saturday address in Gettysburg, PA, Donald Trump laid out a seven point plan to "drain the swamp" in Washington, DC, and revitalize the American economy. Trump pledged that in his first 100 days in office, he will restore "honesty, accountability and change to Washington" through the following steps:

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a secretive, multinational trade agreement that threatens to extend restrictive intellectual property (IP) laws across the globe and rewrite international rules on its enforcement.
(1) Digital Policies that Benefit Big Corporations at the Expense of the Public: The IP chapter would have extensive negative ramifications for users' freedom of expression, right to privacy and due process, as well as hindering peoples' abilities to innovate. Other chapters of the agreement encourage your personal data to be sent borders with limited protection for your privacy, and allow foreign corporations to sue countries for laws or regulations that promote the public interest,
(2) Lack of Transparency: The entire process has shut out multi-stakeholder participation and is shrouded in secrecy.

Back in April of 2015, I disagreed with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and his "Unity Pledge," but clearly I was wrong. I thought it was disrespectful toward all of the primary candidates. I thought supporting the eventual winning candidate would go without saying (or pledging). I also thought it was an underhanded way to force one candidate (Donald Trump) to either leave the GOP in the spring of 2015, or promise not to run as independent in the case of his loss. Trump bowed to the RNC and other candidates' demand, famously signing the pledge in Sharpee marker.

Now that more than eight years have passed since the days when Barack Obama made his meteoric rise in politics, it's fair to say that he's had his chance to deliver on his campaign promise of "change you can believe in." The effects of his Presidency will be felt for decades no doubt, and his legacy has yet to be written, but for this snapshot in time in September of 2016, what positive and meaningful change has Barack Obama delivered?

In April of 1976, Gerald Ford was our President the day two protestors attempted to burn the U.S. flag in center field of Dodgers Stadium, before thousands of fans who had come to see the visiting Chicago Cubs play the L.A. Dodgers. Before the two were able to light the flag on fire, Cubs center fielder Rick Monday swooped in to save the flag, as you see in this historic video clip from that day at Dodgers Stadium.

The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain principal events or mysteries in the history of our salvation, and to thank and praise God for them. The Rosary is a powerful prayer to say, to meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary.
The Rosary as we know it today was shared with the Church in 1214, brought to the Church by St. Dominic, who had received it from the Blessed Virgin as a means of converting the Albigensians and other sinners. Seeing that the gravity of people's sins was hindering the conversion of the Albigensians, Saint Dominic withdrew into a forest near Toulouse, where he prayed continuously for three days and three nights.
Our Lady appeared to him, accompanied by three angels, and she said, "Dominic, do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the world?"
"Oh, my Lady," answered Saint Dominic, "you know far better than I do because next to your Son Jesus Christ you have always been the chief instrument of our salvation."
Our Lady replied, "I want you to know that, in this kind of warfare, the principal weapon has always been the Angelic Psalter, which is the foundation-stone of the New Testament. Therefore, if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter."
There are twenty mysteries reflected upon in the Rosary, and these are divided into the five JOYFUL MYSTERIES, the five LUMINOUS MYSTERIES, the five SORROWFUL MYSTERIES, and the five GLORIOUS MYSTERIES.
You may also wish to pray the rosary online, with others or by yourself. As suggested by the Pope St. John Paul the Great, the Joyful mysteries are said on Monday and Saturday, the Luminous on Thursday, theSorrowful on Tuesday and Friday, and the Glorious on Wednesday and Sunday (with this exception: Sundays of Christmas season - The Joyful; Sundays of Lent - Sorrowful).
Those who pray the Rosary regularly would do well to be enrolled in the Confraternity to gain extra spiritual benefits for each Rosary they pray.
Dominican Manner of Praying the Rosary
HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray. O GOD, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
After each decade, say the following prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy."

Innovation and disruption of the big auto's outdated ways has been the Tesla trajectory since Elon Musk founded the company back in 2003. Yes, it's been almost 15 years, can you believe it? Last week, Elon Musk showed why he's the most feared car salesman on earth. On Thursday, Elon Musk conducted what will go down in history as the largest crowdfunding campaign ever, with servers at full capacity, taking in $1,000 at a time, with total sales commitments in excess of $12 Billion (and the tally board is still clicking).

I love games, but I'm one of those stick-in-the-muds that has to warm up to playing. Earlier this week, my daughter and son-in-law warmed me up to a game I had never heard of, called "Settlers of Catan." Apparently, I've been missing out, because this board game is beyond trending. Well, now, I'm hooked. We played till midnight last night (a work night!), and while I lost for the fourth time, and I'm not a very kind loser, I'm starting to get the hang of it.

It's Good Friday, and today my wife and I prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00 PM. It's the first time I've prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet, so I thought I'd take some time to post an article on it, for some background, along with a reprint of the prayer itself to share with you. The background information on this comes from EWTN and The Divine Mercy website.

Devotion to Michael the Archangel is one of the oldest devotions of the Church; indeed, his roles in God's divine plan date back before the Incarnation. It was St. Michael who led God's army against Lucifer and the other rebellious fallen angels, St. Michael who guards the Catholic Church and her pope, and St. Michael who, at God's commands will reprise his role against the Antichrist in the End Times.

By Cruxnow – ROME: Reacting to widespread media coverage of a perceived war of words on Thursday between Pope Francis and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a Vatican spokesman on Friday insisted the pope's comments — that someone who would build a border wall is not Christian — were not a personal attack.
"The pope said what we all know when we follow his teaching and his positions: that we should not build walls, but bridges," the Rev. Federico Lombardi said to Vatican Radio. "It is not a specific issue, limited to this case," he said.

Pool lights give your pool a fascinating new dimension when the sun goes down. With today's technology, enjoy brilliant LED lighting that puts on a dramatic underwater light show. Whether you have an in-ground pool or an above ground pool, search In the Swim for the perfect colorful underwater lights or an effortless floating LED light for your pool.
Hayward Colorlogic, Pentair Intellibrite and Ameribrite light the way for Inground LED Pool Lights.
Above Ground Pool Lights for your returns jets, solar led lights, and floating light shows.
Pool lights add a dramatic dimension to your pool and the surrounding outdoor area. By lighting up the pool and generating a glow about the water, pool lights create a distinct ambiance that is great even if you don't plan on swimming at night.
Whether you're looking for in-ground pool lights or lights for above ground pools, LED pool lights are now the standard, offering more brightness with using just a fraction of the energy compared to an incandescent bulb. LED lights are also much longer lasting, saving you the time and hassle of always replacing bulbs that are hard to get to in your pool. At In the Swim, above ground pools have a few more light options to choose from thanks to the ability to use the outside pool wall for easy-to-install lights like this LED pool wall light that can be placed anywhere you want on the pool wall by using magnets. Above ground pools also have pool return inlet lights and return jet lights with easy-to-change colored lenses available at reasonable prices.
In-ground pool lights tend to be more expensive and complex with a very long lifespan because of the difficulty of installing and replacing pool lights under the water line. Hayward replacement lights fit in Hayward pool niches along with niches from other brands like American Products, Pac-Fab and Purex. The Hayward lights also come in a variety of wattages to give you the perfect brightness you want in and around your pool. The AmerBrite LED color replacement bulb kit is a great way to update your old-type of bulb into a more efficient LED light with many more features like displaying five different colors and having seven different light shows. The AmerBrite LED light simply screws into the existing socket for easy replacement. You can also buy sets of pool lights, like the Hayward Universal ColorLogic LED pool light to create a dramatically different look to your pool with the choice of having 10 different colors and a seven color-changing light show.
