Obstructing justice delivery
Political and social mobilization campaigns in Kathua rape and murder case amount to defeating delivery of justice
The excessive politicisation and communalisation of the Kathua rape and murder incident is extremely repulsive. Not only are such voices vitiating the atmosphere, they are also making all out attempts to subvert justice. Several right wing groups, other groups vying with them and even professional institutions have been mobilising campaigns to shockingly speak not in support of victims but instead raising the accused in the case to the pedestal of victimhood. In view of the sensitivity of the case and the heinousness of the crime of kidnapping, raping and murdering an eight-year old girl, such politicization is not only flawed; it is horrifying. As per the law any accused persons should be deemed innocent till proven guilty. But the law takes its own course and the accused must be subject to the due process of law rather than valourising them through public campaigns and propaganda even before investigations are complete. The accused must face investigations and trial before they can be acquitted or convicted by the distinguished court. Street courts cannot be allowed to subvert this process of law. It is not out of place to mention that the role of police in the case was shoddy right from the very beginning and there were undue delays in investigation, starting from the basic evidence. That media reports point out to criminal lapses in the manner on initial investigations including fudging of evidence like washing the blood-soaked and muddy clothes of the victim and declaring one of the arrested accused as a minor further point out to the influence wielded by the accused and their sympathizers right from the very beginning. The investigations now being undertaken by the Crime Branch are systemically being pursued, much of which, if true, have only appeared in media reports. The CBI has filed two status reports in the case and media reports point out that two people have been arrested for the crime and two cops held for botching up evidence and that the shocking crime was pre-meditated and planned with its main accused likely to be picked up soon. The investigations are being duly monitored by the High Court and there appears to be swiftness in the progress and pace of the probe. No apparent signs of wrong doing or bias have emerged other than the political voices coming to the rescue of the accused under the banner on a newly floated Hindu Ekta Manch. Not only has this group taken out a rally vilifying the victim family and used the national tricolor as its prop, creating panic of communal polarization, it has been openly calling for dropping charges against the accused. Two senior BJP ministers have been provoking crowds to mobilize and violate Section 144 CrPC imposed in and around the area of crime in Hiranagar tehsil of Kathua district and there is recorded evidence to show that one of them horrifyingly chose to trivialize the crime with the words, "so what if one girl has died, many other girls die as well." This is a serious case of attempts to obstruct justice. All those groups propping up the theory of 'prejudiced probe' by the Crime Branch, have alleged 'witch-hunting' in the investigations and called for handing over the case to the CBI. It is no hidden secret that in many cases of crime, police have either dragged feet or been driven by prejudice. But the CBI, with its track record of having become a virtual puppet in the hands of the successive regimes at the Centre, is not holier than thou. With the case being politicized and BJP leaders openly coming out in support of the accused, it is wishful thinking that the road to justice lies at the doorstep of the CBI. Secondly and more importantly, for shifting the case to another agency, it is important to establish reasonable grounds for suspicions of prejudice by the existing investigating agency. Not a single party or individual clamouring for handing over the Kathua rape and murder case to CBI has come out with any concrete signs of wrong-doing and bias in the process of justice. As it is, it is an established fundamental of law that the basic principle of justice is seen from the victim's perspective, not the perpetrator and certainly not the street mobs. The demand for handing over the case to CBI is not only flawed; it is inspired by the ambition to subvert truth and justice. The political voices and the mobs on the street trying to subvert justice must rethink the import of their demand and its dangerous implications both on the social-political fabric of the state and on other criminal cases of similar nature. The state government, so far, has displayed remarkable spine in not bowing before irrational demands. It must ensure that investigations be carried on at their present pace under court supervision to be followed by a speedy trial. The law of the land provides for remedy through litigations even after this process is done with.

Pop star Nicole Scherzinger feels "devastated" following her split from Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton but insists they parted ways on good terms.
The former Pussycat Dolls star, who began dating the British sportsman in 2007, left the U.S. and relocated to England in November (14) amid reports she wanted to be closer to her boyfriend, who is based in Europe.
However, Scherzinger has now confirmed reports suggesting the couple has split for good.
She tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "I'm devastated that it didn't work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together. I love Lewis and I know he loves me. We wish each other nothing but happiness and the very best for one another. I'm trying to stay strong in my faith right now."

Men's Club Activities
By Jon Rose
June 2010
Men's club appointed new officers at the last Executive Board meeting on April 20th. Bruce Broser will be the new Men's Club president for coming term, and Mark Golboro will be the Vice president. Fred Rosenfeld has agreed to be the new Men's Club Board Representative and Gary Moskowitz is taking over as Communications chair. We also created a new position, Entertainment chair, which David Frank has agreed to take on. David will coordinate Men's Club events where live music is required. I will be taking over as the Men's Club Treasurer. I promise to carry the '1's and not to forget where I left the checkbook.
I am very confident the new board will help Men's Club achieve new levels of service, with leaders who are committed to service in support of the Temple and providing quality programs for the men of TBA to have a place to socialize and learn.
Four members of the Men's club board attended a Men of Reform Judaism regional Cluster meeting on Sunday, May 16th at KI in Elkins Park, PA. This meeting of Regional board members happens a few times a yearn gives the various temples involved the opportunity to swap ideas and best practices. The event opened with a discussion on Jewish Genetic Testing by Rabbi Lawrence Sernovitz, of Old York Road Temple Beth Am. Rabbi Sernovitz discussed the upcoming community screening and family fun day at Einstein at Elkins Park/Moss rehab in Elkins Park, PA. This takes Place on Sunday, June 13th, from noon to 4 PM. Free screenings are offered along with genetic counseling for those being tested. Rabbi Lazar is very tuned into this as well and councils couples considering marriage to get testing before having children. More information on the event is available at: http://www.victorcenters.org/kehillahpartnership/
We also had an open discussion on attracting new 'active' members, and finding the right events to challenge members and keep them active. These discussions were very interesting as the mix of temples present ranged in size from 260 families (TBA) to over a thousand families. Everyone's perspective on ideas and issues was very enlightening and at times very entertaining.
Men's Club has some great events coming up I know you will enjoy. Our annual Men's Club Shabbat is Friday evening at 8 PM. Steve Koffs is leading the service for us and I'm hoping each and every one of you will join us for an enjoyable spiritual experience. We also have a 'Men's Night out' planned for Wednesday evening, June 16th at Arnold's Family Fun Center in Oaks, Pa. Go-karts, arcade games and laser-tag will make this a really enjoyable evening. Bruce Broser is leading this event. More info on our events can be found on the Men's Club page on the TBA Website
Temple Brith Achim Men's Club
Bruce Broser, President
The TBA Men's club is an active, fun, community based organization. Our goal is to bring the men of TBA together in a way that strengthens our Jewish beliefs, to build our community and to build relationships among the men at our synagogue.Our activities vary greatly from wonderful guest speakers, to evenings out, to providing food for carnivals and gatherings and doing community service. All TBA men are welcome at our events, regardless of being an official member of men's club. We have a busy year planned for the 2010-2011 season. Check out our event calendar below for our next event.
We invite all TBA men to come out to any or all of our events.

California's State Assembly has voted nearly unanimously, save one vote in both the State Assembly and Senate, to send the Golden State's first-ever anti-"boycott, divestment and sanctions "(BDS) bill to Gov. Jerry Brown, who will need to decide whether to sign or veto it by September's end.
AB 2844 overwhelmingly passed with bipartisan support in the Assembly with a 69-1 in favor, less than one week after passing the Senate 34-1.
In a press release issued Tuesday, Assemblyman Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica), who co-authored AB 2844 with Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) said:
The action today by the Legislature sends another strong message that California does not tolerate discrimination, hate, or bigotry. It is a fact that the ultimate goal of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is to convince California companies to not do business with Israel and thereby undermine the economy and government of Israel and replace the world's only Jewish homeland and the only functioning democracy in the Middle East, with a single Palestinian State. This bill helps puts an end to that movement here in California.
BDS is a core element of a global strategy by anti-Israel activists to isolate the Jewish state.
"The original intent of the legislation that I proposed back in January has been preserved with this final version of AB2844," Allen told Breitbart News. "Simply put, that if a company chooses to boycott the State of Israel, California will not do business with them. If a company wants to contract with California, it cannot discriminate against or boycott Israel."
Allen added: "I think legislators on both sides of the aisle came to the realization that the BDS movement is discriminatory in nature and at its core is antisemitic, and California won't support that with taxpayer dollars.
"We have a long-standing, historical precedent of protecting against discrimination in California."
ABC 2844 was originally named the "California Combating the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions of Israel Act of 2016," but by June was renamed to the "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions of Recognized Sovereign Nations or Peoples," omitting all mentions of the State of Israel in the title.
While the original intent of the bill was to prohibit California from contracting with businesses that engage in boycotts against Israel, the bill's language was changed so that companies must now prove that they will not violate California's civil rights law, in general, by boycotting a nation that is recognized by the United States. However, Israel is the only nation that is mentioned by name in the bill.
Asm. Cristina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens) chair of the Assembly's Accountability Committee, was among several Democrats who had initially opposed AB 2844, and had even recommended rejecting the measure altogether, but who ultimately voted in favor of the measure on Tuesday.
Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) was the only one in the Senate to vote against AB 2844, and Assemblyman Mark Stone (D-Monterey) was the only person in the Assembly. Monning told the Jewish Journal, "Those standards already apply," referring to the anti-discrimination measures proposed by the bill. "So we have a bill on the floor that seeks to affirm laws that already exist and people are held accountable for already."
Allen noted: "Some people wanted to cite First Amendment concerns. It is important to note that AB2844 in no way restricts free speech. Individuals are free to say whatever they choose, but California has the right to chose who they do business with." Allen, who is an attorney, explained that the principle behind the new law harkens back to existing California laws, namely the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.
Under the Unruh Act, citizens are entitled to full and equal privileges and services in all business establishments, regardless of sex, race, religion or national origin. Similarly, California's Fair Employment and Housing Act safeguards the rights and opportunity of all people to seek and hold employment without discrimination based on race, creed, national origin.
A Chicago-based organization that is opposed to anti-BDS measures nationwide, called Palestine Legal, also used the "free speech" argument in an attempt to discredit support for the Jewish State. Rahul Saksena, a Palestine Legal staff attorney, said in an email to the Jewish Journal that "The sponsors have jumped through hoops and hurdles trying to amend the bill to make it 'less unconstitutional.' … But you can't fix a fundamentally flawed bill."
In sum, Allen said, "Friends of Israel around the world should celebrate the largest state in the nation has now passed anti-BDS legislation, which should hopefully pave the way for more states to join the fight against bigotry and prejudice."
He added, "A lot can get done when you don't worry about whose name is on the bill."

'Glee,' Trent Reznor Win Big At Golden Globe Awards
"Glee" won three top trophies at the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday night (Jan. 16) in Beverly Hills, Calif., while Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and songwriter Diane Warren also came away with wins.
For the second year in a row, "Glee" took home the award for best musical or comedy TV series, while Chris Colfer -- who plays bullied openly gay teen Kurt Hummel on the hit Fox show -- won best supporting actor.
Colfer gave an emotional acceptance speech, thanking "the kids that our show celebrates that are constantly told no by bullies in their school and they can't be who they are...Well, screw that, kids."
Jane Lynch, who plays coach Sue Sylvester on "Glee," won best supporting actress in a musical or comedy series.
Trent Reznor and collaborator Atticus Ross, meanwhile, won best original score for "The Social Network," the Facebook-inspired film that led all Golden Globe winners with four awards, including best dramatic picture.
"A year ago I had no idea I'd have the opportunity to score a film," Reznor said. "The idea of standing up here to accept this award is surreal."
Best original song went to Diane Warren for "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me," which was performed by Cher in the movie musical "Burlesque." It was the first Golden Globe win for Warren, a five-time nominee, and the veteran songwriter thanked Cher for being an "eternal badass" in her acceptance speech.

Ground through the last 2.0.0 bugs with the release team who were great through the whole process. Lining up a huge project like Evolution with another huge project like GNOME is a non trivial task. There were rough edges of course, but now that we're here we can move forward and build off this. I should have the release notes out tomorrow or Wednesday.
Never ones to rest on our laurels, we have a couple weeks of work to do to get out a 2.0.1 and then on to 2.2, with cool stuff like EPlugin.

It was a historic race this past week for Asia's top adventure racing team, The North Face Adventure Team, taking the Yellow Jersey and a stage podium on Day 2 in Wu Long International Mountain Quest, the defacto World Championships of stage Adventure Racing.
In its 14th year, Wu Long had one of the most competitive world-class fields ever assembled, with most of the top athletes in the sport from New Zealand, France, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Australia, Finland, and of course, China. The annual adventure race is held in the remote and spectacular Wu Long County of Chongqing province of China, a region full of steep jungle canyons, spectacular caves, and a 2,000 meter mountain plateau billed as the 'Switzerland of China'. Organized by the Chinese Mountaineering Association, the event has the richest prize purse globally in adventure racing (USD $120,000) ensuring the participation of many current and former world champion multi-sport outdoor athletes. The stage race is held over four days and requires coed teams of four to mountain bike, trail run, and kayak over 220 kilometers, along with other challenges like abseiling and orienteering.
The North Face Adventure Team included Hong Kong-based captain, Ryan S. Blair from the USA, Jay Kiangchaipaiphana from Thailand, and Camila De Araujo Nicolau and Gui Pahl Silva who have recently joined the team from Brazil.
Everyday this year was raced at break-neck pace (with stages a bit shorter than in past at 4-6 hours for winners) and in extremely technical conditions with continuous rain and mud throughout the event. After a solid top 10 result with close finish times in the orienteering prologue on Day 1, The North Face Adventure Team raced the first long stage on Day 2 aggressively, starting with a 2 km run through a cave. This was followed with a 2-hour reservoir kayak where the team stayed near the lead, before making a strong move on the next section up an extremely technical and spectacular gorge that required lots of rock scrambling. After the gorge the team was in a podium position and continued to charge hard on the following trail run and onto a fast 25 km mountain bike, catching two teams with world champions (THULE and a German-New Zealand team) near the end. The stage then ended with a short frantic run and transition to get to a 190 ft. abseil off a bridge into a lake, followed by a short swim to the finish line. The North Face Adventure Team could taste the podium for the stage and potential for the Yellow Jersey and dug super deep to make history for the team and take the overall lead in the race. It was an amazing day for the team to celebrate, and a start leading the race overall in the Yellow jersey the next day for first time in 10 years of racing in Wu Long.
Day 3 the team started very strong in an opening technical river paddle with all top teams very close together, but later fell back on a brutal 70km, 2,500 meter-gain mountain bike climb. The team tried its best to contain the damage with serious stomach problems affecting one member badly, as well as, too much road biking for the teams liking coupled with tired legs from the huge push to get the Yellow jersey the day before. Fortunately, Jay remained incredibly strong and helped the team stay in a top 10 position.
Day 4 the team recovered remarkably well and battled near the front again and stayed very close to Team Thule, who had the Yellow jersey, and Richards Usher's New Zealand team for much of the stage. Everyone battled on the edge of blowing-up in conditions that were epic to say the least in one of the most technical stages in Wu Long's 14-year history. The team's solid stage kept them in 6th Overall.
Team captain, Ryan S. Blair, commented at the end, "just one slow bike section on one day probably kept us off the overall podium, but with a Yellow jersey and a stage podium this year everyone is feeling so great about a very successful and historic week for the team in Wu Long."

Gov. Pat McCrory's proposal to borrow more than $1 billion for transportation improvements is focused on getting money for mostly rural projects that would be ready to start construction within the next year or two, Transportation Secretary Tony Tata says.
Meanwhile, state Treasurer Janet Cowell says North Carolina can afford to borrow up to $1.2 billion for transportation infrastructure investments.
Tata issued a statement Friday to flesh out details of a revenue bond issue McCrory proposed during local news conferences in four cities Wednesday. The bonds were mentioned in McCrory's discussion of his long-range priorities for transportation investments.
"A key element of the governor's 25-year vision is recognition that transportation systems can stimulate the economy by building infrastructure to attract business and create or provide access to jobs," Tata said in a statement released to The News & Observer. "Accordingly, we are looking at projects that will help connect rural areas to jobs, healthcare, and education centers. A transportation bond will help us address critical needs with our limited funds, especially in rural areas."
DOT compiled a draft list of 21 projects, worth a combined $1.49 billion, identified as potential candidates for bond money – "including more projects than we could fund," Tata said.
The state might borrow a little more than $1 billion to pay for some of the projects, and several projects might ultimately be funded instead through the state's Strategic Transportation Investments program, he said.
The list includes mostly rural projects, along with urban loops in Fayetteville ($186.4 million) and Winston-Salem ($266.5 million). Tata said the two loops and a U.S. 74 Shelby bypass ($179.7 million) probably will be partially funded through the Strategic Transportation Investments program, and the bond money would be used to complete them.
Cowell agreed that the state needs to address its transportation infrastructure needs. She chairs the state's Debt Affordability Advisory Committee, which concluded in its 2014 report that North Carolina has more than $1.2 billion in debt capacity for transportation projects through 2017.
"There are various options available to finance infrastructure projects; however, we must choose a fiscally sound approach that does not endanger the state's AAA bond rating," Cowell said Thursday in a news release. "I look forward to getting more details on this proposal."

Throughout the semester, we will have several labs. You are
required to save some of your files on your work-station's hard disk, a
floppy disk, or
on memory sticks for later use. If you do not save the images
resulting from a run, the programs themselves do not take up too much
disk space. So make sure to either save the files on a disk or
FTP to cs. Please use ASCII
mode when you FTP your C++ files, otherwise you will get a ^M
at the end of each line, which is pain in the neck to remove.
It is very important that you complete and run your programs on the hard disk (PC). Executable files take a good bit of disk space and cannot be run from the floppy. For this to work best, you may need to sit at the same machine every time we come to the lab. This way you can create a directory with the same name as your ID on the machine and keep it until the end of this semester.
1) Create a directory for yourself, best
is to call it YourID,
2) Create the lab1 directory for today's lab.
In order to run OpenGL programs, we will use Visual C++ compiler
which is installed on the PCs in the PC Lab (Room 439 or Ex-Term
Lab). To run the OpenGL programs, we also need to link some of
the OpenGL libraries in each program that we wish to run. During
this lab, we may run to some problems when we compile the
programs. These problems, will be resolved by including
appropriate files in the include or lib directories.
To make sure, we have the library files in place, here is what you need
to do before starting the lab.
First we need to install GLUT onto the computers. The files you will need are as follows:
To compile an OpenGL programs under .Net:
Use the Build tab, click on Compile, or while you are in the program do Ctrl-F7. If your program does not have any error, you will get:
Please note that it is extremely important that you copy the file under appropriate directory.
A Simple Example: Line
Lab Activity (1): Cut an paste the following program into the line.cpp file that you had saved in the previous step. Click on Save to save the changes.
The name of this screen is
Test. Make a change so it has your
name at the top.
The line;
gluOrtho2D(0.0, 50.0, 0.0, 50.0);maps world coordinates in the range [0,50] x [0,50] into this window, with (0,0) at the lower left. This is a parallel projection in which the z-coordinates are thrown away. The most significant block of code for the drawing purposes of this line is:
glBegin(GL_LINES);which draws a single line between the two given vertices. The "2f" in "glVertex2f"says that we specify points using two floating point parameters. The z-coordinate is assumed to be zero, thus we are working in the a 2D plane, x-y plane.
You can add other lines in the glBegin .. glEnd block; for example,
glBegin(GL_LINES);would draw a big "X". Note every line segment connects two vertices (points).
Lab Exercise (2): Change
the program such that it
displays a square of legnth (width) 100 units.
Post-lab - Due Jan 20
You are required to e-mail two separate programs (.cpp) for the following two parts of the postlab assignment. My e-mail address is email@example.com. Please at the Subject line indicate which part. Please make sure you have your name on all your programs. I deduct 10 points for each program without proper header.
Part (1) (30
Modify the above program so that it displays a house similar to the one shown below. Make your program such that if we decide to add another house we don't have to type many lines of code. Instead, by giving the location and size (width, height, etc...), it draws a house at the indicated location. Sent this program as an attachement. At the subject line put Part1-Post-Lab1.
Part(2) (70
Modify the above program further such that it displays a drawing similar to the one shown below. Sent this program as an attachement. At the subject line put Part2-Post-Lab1.
If there is any special instructions for running your program, please include it in the header of the program.

Cairo #3
The interior and the atmosphere of this little green café in Islamic Cairo was so fine and special. All the colours like candy and everything very old and run-down in a beautiful way.
Food was delicious as well.
I am sorry, but I cannot explain how to find it - it just popped up in the narrow, labyrinthine street of Islamic Cairo and we were hungry at the right moment.

Contemporary Level 2
Ages 9+
The fundamentals that dancers learned in level 1 are expanded upon in level 2. Classes begin on the floor allowing the dancers to fully move their bodies without gravity inhibiting them. The floor warm up is followed by center and across the floor work where dancers work on full inversions, faster spirals to the floor, directional changes, improvisation and begin dancing "off center". On average, students will remain in a level for 2-3 years. Students are evaluated each spring for placement for the next season. Ballet is not required but strongly encouraged since contemporary dance expands upon basic ballet placement.

MBT believes in footwear that makes you better from the ground up.
MBT: The idea of Physiological Footwear
MBT, Masai Barefoot Technology, was invented by Swiss engineer Karl M¨¹ller. During a visit to Korea he made the startling discovery that walking barefoot over paddy fields alleviated his back pain. Back in Switzerland, M¨¹ller began to develop a footwear technology that would make the natural instability of soft ground such as Korean paddy fields or the East African savannah accessible also to those, who have to walk on hard surfaces. In 1996, after years spent on research and development, Masai Barefoot Technology was mature enough to be launched on the market. MBTs are now available in over twenty countries, and approximately one million pairs of this revolutionary footwear technology are sold every year.
How the anti-shoe is pro-body:
Because of the specially designed sole, wearing MBTs significantly improves your gait and posture and relieves pressure on your joints and back. It also exercises a large number of muscles, whether you are walking or standing. This, in turn, stimulates your metabolism, burns extra calories and speeds up muscle regeneration. In addition, MBTs can have a firming effect on abdominal, leg and buttock muscles.
The key to MBT is its patented sole structure.
The Shank, PU Midsole with Pivot and the Masai Sensor create a soft surface that is akin to walking barefoot on springy moss or on a sandy beach. This creates a natural instability underfoot, which activates the supporting muscle system and has positive effects on the entire body.
MBT technology mimicks walking in barefeet.
Wearing MBT mimicks walking on soft, natural ground.
When the heel strikes, the heel sinks into the ground and the body has to stabilize. When the foot rolls forward, there is a controlled rolling over the balancing area towards the ball of the foot. The toe rolls off (without pressure).
MBT ensure the foot natural rolling movement and optimizes pressure distribution over the whole sole.
The Anti-Shoe
MBT would like to help people all over the world lead a healthier, more active and happier life. MBT is convinced that human fitness and health are significantly influenced by the way we walk ¨C this conviction has already been substantiated objectively by many scientific studies.
MBT therefore attempts to awaken and strengthen the awareness of physiologically correct walking among people world-wide by disseminating the idea and concept of MBT physiological footwear. The benefits of physiologically correct walking can thus be made available to as many people as possible all over the world, in a straightforward and uncomplicated way.
MBT Masai Sensor creates natural instability, to which the body responds with increased muscle activity.

He had to be in on the scheme, after all. Nearly every high official in the Obama Administration is a willing co-conspirator. They all knew Clinton completely avoided using the State Department's official email system. In fact, it turns out she didn't even use it once. This allows her little gang to sanitize her correspondence at its leisure, turning over whatever they feel like revealing to congressional investigators.
(Be on guard against liberal attempts to spin this story away by whining about every public official who ever used a public email account. The key detail here is that Clinton rinsed everything through her off-the-books account, in clear violation of requirements instituted because of previous private-email imbroglios – requirements Clinton and her staff could not possibly have misunderstood or been ignorant of.)
We don't live in a country with the rule of law any more, of course, so Clinton probably won't be crushed by this new scandal, and it won't bother Obama at all. It would be a minor miracle if anyone from his slavish press corps even bothered to ask him about it, especially since the news is breaking on the eve of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "controversial" address to Congress (controversial because His Majesty decreed it so) and that's going to eat up an entire news cycle.
The email revelations might still be a significant contribution to the growing pile of gaffes and scandal crud weighing Clinton's prospective presidential campaign down. No matter how corrupt and power-hungry the Democrat Party has become, some significant number of its voters must still care about transparency, honesty, and lawful conduct in the mega-government they hold to be far more virtuous than private-sector corporations.
As the story breaks, it's fun to watch the New York Times try to perform one last service for its beloved Madame Hillary and cushion the blow: "Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials' correspondence be retained as part of the agency's record."
May have violated…? There's no question about it, loyal Hillary guardsmen of the New York Times.
It's not a mistake, a little whoopsie made by a distracted old lady who logged into her Yahoo account a couple of times instead of using her official, archived government account. It was a long-running, systematic effort to evade transparency requirements conducted very deliberately by Clinton, with the assistance of other Administration officials.
She's hardly the only one to try something like this. We've been treated to years worth of stories about officials of this slippery Administration using special email addresses to conduct secret business, most memorably in the case of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, who invented a phony male employee called "Richard Windsor" to hide her transmissions. (Maybe Richard Windsor was in charge of preserving all the documentation on politically-delayed regulations a judge just blasted the EPA for destroying with suspicious alacrity after the Landmark Legal Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit over it.)
What makes Hillary Clinton unique is that she didn't even pretend to use the official system for anything, and it had serious repercussions for congressional investigations, including Benghazi. We're halfway through the long Times article before it is casually mentioned that Hillary got busted by Rep. Trey Gowdy's (R-SC) investigation into that still-unresolved scandal: "The existence of Mrs. Clinton's personal email account was discovered by a House committee investigating the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi as it sought correspondence between Mrs. Clinton and her aides about the attack."
The NYT dutifully relates some argle-bargle from Administration flacks and Clintonistas about how wonderfully committed to transparency they all are, but the bottom line is that Clinton keeping all of her correspondence away from the archives clearly and obviously compromises the integrity of whatever she chooses to hand over. (It might have compromised national security, too, because the Times notes "it is not clear whether Mrs. Clinton's private email account included encryption or other security measures, given the sensitivity of her diplomatic activity.") There's no way to conceal the fact that Clinton's activities are positively astonishing to everyone familiar with the record-keeping policies she evaded:
Her expansive use of the private account was alarming to current and former National Archives and Records Administration officials and government watchdogs, who called it a serious breach.
"It is very difficult to conceive of a scenario — short of nuclear winter — where an agency would be justified in allowing its cabinet-level head officer to solely use a private email communications channel for the conduct of government business," said Jason R. Baron, a lawyer at Drinker Biddle & Reath who is a former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration.
A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, Nick Merrill, defended her use of the personal email account and said she has been complying with the "letter and spirit of the rules."
Under federal law, however, letters and emails written and received by federal officials, such as the secretary of state, are considered government records and are supposed to be retained so that congressional committees, historians and members of the news media can find them. There are exceptions to the law for certain classified and sensitive materials.
Mrs. Clinton is not the first government official — or first secretary of state — to use a personal email account on which to conduct official business. But her exclusive use of her private email, for all of her work, appears unusual, Mr. Baron said. The use of private email accounts is supposed to be limited to emergencies, experts said, such as when an agency's computer server is not working.
"I can recall no instance in my time at the National Archives when a high-ranking official at an executive branch agency solely used a personal email account for the transaction of government business," said Mr. Baron, who worked at the agency from 2000 to 2013.
Regulations from the National Archives and Records Administration at the time required that any emails sent or received from personal accounts be preserved as part of the agency's records.
But Mrs. Clinton and her aides failed to do so.
How many emails were in Mrs. Clinton's account is not clear, and neither is the process her advisers used to determine which ones related to her work at the State Department before turning them over.
Of course it's not "clear." Nothing is ever "clear" with this bunch.
Maybe they'll try claiming the official email system was down for Clinton's entire tenure as Secretary of State. It wouldn't be much more implausible than the story they expected us to swallow about how half the computers in the IRS crashed simultaneously and wiped out subpoena-responsive correspondence pertaining to the Tea Party targeting scandal.
Speaking of which, we appear to have caught IRS Commissioner John Koskinen lying to Congress about the existence of backups of those emails – he spent much of his congressional testimony bleating about the $20 million the IRS supposedly spent to find them, but it turned out nobody actually tried going to the place where the backups are stored and asking for them – but he doesn't seem to be looking at any indictments or sanctions. Surely our wise, moral, benevolent, regulation-happy super-State will find room in its hollow heart to forgive Hillary Clinton for a little organized conspiracy to avoid accountability.
We're told we have to settle for political remedies to lawlessness and deception from our Ruling Class – the only corrective measure they're supposed to be worried about is the wrath of voters in the next election. They have a vast arsenal of inducements and distractions available to dilute that wrath, with the complicity of a friendly media that routinely decides the most outrageous Democrat abuses are less newsworthy than, say, a Republican former governor saying something about President Obama that his press corps takes umbrage at. It will be up to us to remember this lesson about what Hillary Clinton really thinks of responsibility and honesty. If the Democrats run her as their 2016 candidate, it means they're cool with this. None of the rest of us should be.

What version are you on ? Can you run a repair on the CF and check: Does the repair detect differences in the CF and stream changes ? After the streaming does it run a secondary index rebuild on the new sstable ? (Should be in the logs) Can you provide the full query trace ?

Whenever an investment is universally despised, it's often a good time to consider investing. And, no investment is as unpopular as real estate right now. If I had a nickel for every article I've read lately that says, "A house is not an investment", I could probably pay off my house. The truth is that a house or other property IS an investment. It's a very large investment. But, that doesn't necessarily make it a good one.
This is the last in a series of four posts on real estate.
Real Estate 101 – Renting vs. Owning
Real Estate 101 – Market Dynamics
Real Estate 101 – Purchase and Finance
Real Estate 101 – Investment Property
Disclaimer: I'm not a licensed broker or a real estate professional and laws change and vary by state. Before making any decision about buying a house, you should be aware of the laws or consult with a licensed professional.
The Economics of Investment Property
If a property is rented at a profit, or the mortgage is paid off, it's an asset.
If a property is occupied with a mortgage, or rented at a loss, it's a liability.
Notice this has nothing to do with the property values, appreciation or home equity? What it has everything to do with is cash flow. Real estate investment professionals look for properties that will provide a positive return on their investment. The equity and appreciation are secondary. A property that doesn't return a positive cash flow is a poor investment and professionals will avoid it. If it doesn't "pencil out" they will look for another property.
Someone who buys a house to live in (retail customer) has very different needs and motives than someone who buys a property to make a profit (professional investor). A retail customer should be much more concerned if this is a house they are going to enjoy living in for many years to come. Is the neighborhood safe? Are the schools good? Are the neighbors friendly? Is the structure sound? Are there employment opportunities in the area? If not, it's probably a bad investment, no matter how much it costs or changes in value.
Finding Properties to Invest In
One of the most difficult things for a novice real estate investor to do is to find potential investment properties. The network of real estate agents, brokers and mortgage lenders are geared primarily to serve retail customers. And, they generally aren't interested in looking through thousands of properties to find one that could provide a positive cash flow. If they do find a house that is priced way under market and is suitable as a rental, it usually yields a pretty small commission. And, it often comes with transfer hassles, such as a foreclosure or a short sale. This doesn't mean a real estate agent won't help you find a good rental property. But, they may be less than enthusiastic. Or, they may try to convince you that retail-priced properties are a good investment. Most of the retail properties will be money-losers.
Be prepared to a do a lot of the legwork yourself. Look for FSBOs and talk to distressed sellers. Check on Craigslist and look in your local newspaper. Talk to banks and ask about their REO properties. Ask around about agents who work as "bird dogs". These agents will look for specific types of properties for a finder's fee. Since, they are looking at properties all day anyway; they may spot something that meets your needs. And, if sales are slow, they may be pretty aggressive in finding what you need. Don't get discouraged because you are going to have to look through a lot of properties to find a few suitable ones. Then, you will discover the reason they are priced under market. Patience and persistence are going to be the keys.
Money is Made or Lost in the Purchase
It may seem ridiculous to go through such a frustrating process to find a rental property. But, the profitability is determined in the purchase. If you buy an overpriced or unsuitable property, it could become a terrible investment that loses money every month. This is known as an "alligator" because it will eat you alive. If you don't have the patience and the fortitude to find a suitable rental property, you should keep your money in the bank or a good mutual fund. You probably aren't cut out to be a landlord.
Here are the things you must know, before you buy a property:
- Does it pencil out to a profit?
- Is it a sound and suitable structure?
- Is it the right size for a rental?
- Is it in a rent-able neighborhood?
- Is it within a short driving distance?
What Makes a Property Suitable?
Profit Potential – No matter how much you like a rental property, it must be profitable. This means the rent must be high enough to cover the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and some vacancy. Other costs such as routine maintenance, appliance repair, HVAC servicing, etc. should also be factored into the rent or be the tenant's responsibility by contract. A good rule of thumb is that a property should rent for about 20% more than the mortgage, taxes and insurance. Every landlord should also carry a liability policy to cover unforeseen expenses. Finally, before you buy a rental, you should know the comparable rents in the area or you risk extended periods of vacancy.
Location, Location, Location– There are two big issues with location and rental properties. First, is it in a rent-able area? The area should be safe and close to a large source of jobs. There shouldn't be a lot of vacant properties. The area should have something that attracts tenants, such as a nice location, a college or a military base. Second, is it within a reasonable driving distance. The book Nothing Down recommends properties within the "Golden Hour". That way, you can easily maintain the property and collect the rent if necessary. Unless you are going to pay a property manager, you shouldn't buy properties too far away from where you live.
Size and Type– Obviously, you want a property that will rent easily. These are 2-3 bedroom condos, 3-4 bedroom houses or duplexes and triplexes. It is best to stay away from small or large rental properties. The rental market mostly consists of young couples, small families or sets of roommates. There is a demand for studio and single bedroom units, but these people will usually rent in an apartment complex a duplex/triplex. Single bedroom condos are rarely profitable after the association costs. And, the resale value on a 2 bedroom house is deplorable. Large houses attract multi-family tenants or lots of roommates. This leads to high maintenance costs and problems collecting the rent. Vacation or luxury homes can difficult to keep occupied.
The Structure – The structure must be sound and the layout practical. Unless you work in the construction trades, I recommend hiring an inspector prior to buying a property. There could be huge liabilities from things like a cracked foundation, leaky roof, mold in the walls or substandard plumbing and electrical. Properties that have been modified or converted into a duplex, should have layouts that make sense and all of the proper permitting.
Market Conditions
The last thing I want to talk about is market conditions for rental properties. In some areas of the country, it's easy to buy houses and rent them out. The housing prices are low and the rents are high enough to make a profit, even on retail properties. Where I live at the beach, a modest house costs $500K and would rent for about $2,500 per month. It makes no sense to put down $100K and take out a $400K mortgage to lose $1,000 per month. My uncle lives out in the desert and he just bought a nice 3 bedroom foreclosure for $60K cash and rented it out for $950 per month. You could do really well finding three or four deals like this. But, that's not typical of the market in Southern California. It's important to understand the market conditions where you live, so you don't get stuck with an alligator property.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that short-term thinking doesn't work for a long-term investment, like real estate. The payoff from rental property comes after many years, as the rents rise and the mortgage gets paid down. If you are looking to get rich quickly, I wouldn't recommend becoming a landlord. If you are looking for cash flow from investments, real estate makes a lot of sense.

Even though God uses trials for our good, it's still tempting to become bitter. When people are suffering, there is greater potential for them to question, criticize—or worst of all—turn from God. James 1:3b–4 reads:
…the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
I would love to say, "Trials always produce patience, and patience makes you perfect and complete, lacking nothing," but sometimes it would be more accurate to say, "Trials produce bitterness." Perhaps you can think of people experiencing a trial and they said something like, "How could God let this happen to me? I do not deserve it! I wish I could give Him a piece of my mind!" If we're honest, we can probably think of times trials did not produce patience or maturity in us. Instead of making us better, they made us bitter.
We Must Choose to "Let" Trials Make Us Better Instead of Bitter
The wording of James 1:3-4 is odd. If we never read the verses before we would probably expect them to say, "…the testing of your faith produces patience, which makes you perfect…" Instead, there are instructive words: "let patience have its perfect work." The Greek word for let is echō, and it's a verb because James is commanding us to do something. We must "let" trials "work." Echō means, "To have, hold, own, possess, lay hold of." Here are two places it's used:
- Matthew 3:13–14—"Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, 'I need (echō) to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?'"
- Acts 2:44–45—"Now all who believed were together, and had (echō) all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had (echō) need."
Of the 712 times echō occurs in the New Testament, 613 times it is translated as "have," because it is not simply about accepting trials in our lives. We must take ownership of them. Instead of resisting trials, we must embrace them. This is how we "let" God use them for our benefit. The alternative is to fight against trials, which hinders the "perfect work" they can accomplish.
Before doctors administer a shot, they say, "Relax. Try to remain as calm as possible. This will hurt, but it will be worse if you resist." The doctor is telling you to accept what is about to happen because failing to do so will only make an already painful situation even worse. It is the same with trials. We cannot avoid them. They hurt, and we make them worse when we resist. Instead, we must accept them, trusting God wants to use them for our good and His glory. This is how we "count it all joy" and "let" trials make us better. Continue reading ""Let" Trials Make You Better Instead of Bitter"

Fresno, Ca., is the nation's capital of intravenous drug use, the Associated Press reports. It sounds like an unlikely distinction for a city of fewer than 500,000 people in one of the nation's richest agricultural regions. The percentage of people shooting up heroin and other drugs in Fresno is nearly three times the national average, fueled by a boom in methamphetamine use, says a new study. Law enforcement agencies and treatment counselors say they are overwhelmed by the scope of the problem, which is compounded by HIV and hepatitis C infections that come from sharing needles.
The Fresno area is home to Mexican drug cartels that operate in rural expanses where farm chemicals used to make meth are readily available and the noxious fumes are less easily detected. Part of the problem is poverty, said Samuel Friedman, a research fellow at the National Development and Research Institutes in New York and primary author of the study in last month's Journal of Urban Health. In the study, Fresno was found to have 173 IV drug users for every 10,000 people; the national average is 60 per 10,000. Three other areas within 200 miles also made it into the top 10: San Francisco, Stockton-Lodi, and Bakersfield. Fresno County spends $20 million a year on drug treatment that served more than 9,000 people in 2002, and the programs are straining to keep up with demand.
