These no-bake Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies taste delicious and are great as a healthy sweet treat or dessert. I made them for the first time during our Mindfulness Retreat in Friesland last weekend.

By using the whole lime, including its peel, you are benefiting from all the lime's nutritional benefits. Most of the vitamin C is found, not in the juice, but in the peel.

Using fragrant Bergamot Oranges makes all the difference in this cake.

Whatever you're buying make sure you use organic, unwaxed lemons or Bergamot oranges as the peel plays a big part in this recipe.Read More

Cashew Raisin Chickpea Balls
These sweet Cashew Raisin Chickpea Balls are inspired by an Indian sweet called Besan Ladoo.

Apple Beet Carrot Juice
This Apple Beet Carrot Juice is a real classic combination. I used purple carrots in this one and added a bit of fresh ginger for some extra spice. Did you know carrots originally weren't orange at all? They were originally purple or red. Orange carrots came about through both a process of natural mutation and later domestication by most likely Dutch breeders. Purple carrots (usually orange inside) have even more beta carotene than their orange carrots. They derive their purple pigment from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that can help prevent free radical damage. Other fruits and veggies rich in anthocyanins are red beets, red cabbage and cranberries. Read More

My lunch today at de Ysbreeker inspired me to create a new recipe based on the principle of red power, a Red Power Salad with red quinoa, red cabbage, red beets, pomegranate seeds and cranberries.

Sweet Potato Carrot Orange Juice
This Sweet Potato Carrot Orange Juice is spectacular. Initially, I wasn't drawn to the idea of juicing sweet potatoes. Juicing sweet potatoes? You must be kidding me!

But as I found out, sweet potatoes make the tastiest, sweetest, smoothest and most nutritious juice I have ever tasted. They are super-healthy too. Read More

The store-bought one is pretty good but I am pretty sure 'I beet it' with this recipe (pun intended). Read More

The inspiration for adding the Brussel sprouts and apples to this curry came from an amazing Thai curry recipe I saw on The Green Kitchen. They are right. Brussels sprouts and apples might seem unconventional in a curry, but they fit in perfectly.Read More

It's somewhere in between a lemon and an orange. I love its perfumy citrusy smell. There's a good reason why it's used a lot in perfumes. Read More

Hello, thank you specifically for the 64 bit version, runs famously on my eee-pc. do you expect an updated hp touchpad version soon?ReplyDelete
Just installed the Raspberry buid on ZT180-2. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Do you have a link to details on this device? How functional is Bodhi on it?Delete
It is 10.2" tablet based on Infotmic IMAPX200 SoC(ARMv6 with VFP)- that's why I actually choosed RasPi build.Delete
The best source seems to be here:
When I fist time installed bodhi-desktop packages, it was on top of that hobbiest build - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/21689-project-project-linux-reborn-beta-3-released/page__st__340Delete
which is, in fact, squeeze armel. XFCE is used in it as a DE. So, your E17 packages were built for ARMv6 at the time, so I used them. Everything ran pretty smoothly, but a battery indicator didn't work, and a CPUfreq widget also gave an error message. Well, same thing I have now with RasPi build of Bodhi.
Nifty - thanks for the links.Delete
Hi Alex, I have the Zt-180 (v1) but the processor seems to be exactly the same (from cat /proc/cpuinfo). How did you install this? Did you start with an ARMHF Debian install or from scratch? Any help would be much appreciated!Delete
Can you port it to the toshiba AC100 please? It was the first tegra 2 consumer device and is a ultra-portable netbook. It was initially running android but there have been successful ports of ubuntu, debian, and gentoo in armhf format. Check the ubuntu site for a run down in their arm section.ReplyDelete
The tegra developer zone has drivers ready http://developer.nvidia.com/mobile/linux-tegra .
The bootloader is fastboot, with mmcblk partions for internal and sd or usb stick for external drives. Typically they build a initrd+zimage of the kernel and then mount/merge the rootfs from the mediums. There is a tool abootimg for building the tool, and the nvidia tool for flashing through the usb port.
Any images you build, I will test for you.
Thanks, enlightenment is nice and light so it would be perfect for this platform, aside from dwm, twm,jwm,fvwm..Replies
While we would love to support as many modern devices as possible - it is impossible for us to port to devices our team does not own. So unless someone wants to donate one of these little guys to the Bodhi project we will be unable to provide official images for it.Delete
Hi, as I enjoy BodhiLinux very much on my old x31 I was wondering if it would also run on the openmokoReplyDelete
freerunner (GTA02) or it's successor the openphoenix (GTA04). The former is armv4 though? there is also one current distributions which focuses on E17 which is called SHR and one which takes debian arm as its base which is QtMoko.
best regards and many thanks for the great distribution!!!
Jeff, nice work!ReplyDelete
I'd love to see BodhiLinux on the BeagleBoard, BeagleBone, and PandaBoards.Replies
I'm sure the Ubuntu ARM versions would work, as all those boards run OMAP chips, and Ubuntu has OMAP3 and OMAP4 images. However, I too would like to see an OMAP build of Bodhi ARMHF.Delete
Looks like the Genesi build might work on the new Hackberry A10 boards (both are ARM Cortex-A8 based CPU's). However, the Genesi's SoC does not show which GPU it's running, whether it's a PowerVR or a Mali or an Adreno... while the Hackberry's A10 SoC uses a quad-core Mali400.ReplyDelete
Anyone confirm what all chips the Genesi build might work on?
Have you ever heard of Cubox? It's a really cool arm device.ReplyDelete
I think bodhi linux will work really nice on that!
Have a thought if it's possible..
I need bodhilinux on Cubox too... bodhilinux appears perfect for it.ReplyDelete

I need bodhilinux for the JayBook-9901.ReplyDelete
There are some workarounds, however quite complicated.
Will it work on this Netbook?

My raspberry Pi arrives tomorrow! Can't wait to try Bodhi on it with the 50" TV in our bedroom (-=ReplyDelete

Google Inc. on Monday started rolling out a new feature in the U.S. that lets people send documents to be printed on remote printers from their Android devices and iPhones.
"Let's say you need to print an important email attachment on your way to work so that it's waiting for you when you walk in the door," Tyler Odean, who works with Google's Cloud Print team, wrote in a blog post. "With Gmail for mobile and Google Cloud Print … you can."
There are a few requirements to enable the service.
First, users must connect their printers to the Google Cloud Print service. To do so, they must download Google's Chrome browser and enable the Google Cloud Print connector. For now, the Cloud Print feature is only available to users of Windows computers.
Once the printer is connected to the Google Print Cloud, the computer attached to the printer must be on in order to print a document.
Also, printing documents is done from within Gmail on an Android device or iPhone. Users can print Gmail messages as well as some e-mail attachments, including .pdf files and Word documents.
Odean said Google is rolling out the feature in the U.S. over the next few days.
There are other options for printing from phones including the iPhone and many of them also have requirements or limitations. Some apps allow printing from mobile phones only to printers that have Wi-Fi, for instance.

There's a lot we think we know about the next iPhone expected to debut Wednesday including features such as a bigger screen, LTE connectivity, and maybe even near-field communication. But there's one thing we can say for sure about Apple's next wonder gadget: it will be a winner and people will love it.
After watching Apple roll out five iPhone models since 2007, all of which sold outsold their predecessors, the one thing we know is that Apple will sell a lot of iPhones in the coming weeks. In fact, many analysts are predicting the so-called iPhone 5 launch will be one of the largest consumer electronics upgrade cycles in history.
[RELATED: What the new iPhone has to live up to]
So as iPhone fans get their camping gear ready to stake out a spot at their closest Apple Store, what are the expectations, hopes, and dreams for fans, carriers, and analysts for the so-called iPhone 5?
Cash Cow
An economist for JP Morgan Chase predicts sales of the next iPhone will create a noticeable boost in the U.S. Economy, which led the Washington Post to report, "How Apple's iPhone 5 could singlehandedly rescue the U.S. Economy."
But just how many iPhones could Apple sell in its opening weekend and the first few weeks of sales? To beat the current record holder, the iPhone 4S, Apple needs to move more than four million iPhones in the first three days of sales. No problem say industry analysts such as Piper Jaffray's bullish Gene Munster who predicts Apple could sell 10 million iPhone handsets by the end of September alone. That's a lot of iPhones considering there are about two and a half weeks left in the month and pre-orders haven't even started yet.
Meanwhile, carriers are excited about the prospect of an LTE-powered iPhone since it means they can get millions of customers to adopt recently introduced tiered data plans, according to The Wall Street Journal. The average 3G user consumes about 500MB of data per month, according to the WSJ report, while LTE users hooked on speed use an average of 1.2GB per month. Both AT&T and Verizon charge around $40-$50 for 1GB of data per month using their newly released multi-device shared data plans. So you can bet carrier executives will be gathered around their board room tables Wednesday to sing the industry's favorite song: Cha-ching!
Second Shot Sales
While AT&T, Sprint and Verizon prepare to roll out the new iPhone, T-Mobile is trying to get current iPhone users to bring their unlocked devices to the company's network. T-Mobile on Monday announced plans to convince users with unlocked iPhones to sign-up for "bring your own device" value plans featuring unlimited nationwide data.
Forget iPhone 5, What About iPhone 10?
But how long can the iPhone's reign as the single most popular handset last? CNN Money's David Goldman asks will there be an iPhone 10 or will Apple's smartphone go the way of the Motorola Razr? What a silly question. By the time an iPhone 10 debuts around 2023, Apple won't need an antiquated phone, it will just download the latest versions of Angry Birds, Facebook, and Siri directly to your brain.
Sour Grapes
Following Samsung's recent thrashing during the company's U.S. court battle with Apple, the Korea-based electronics maker will also be watching the iPhone 5 launch with intense interest. No, the company won't be looking to copy design ideas, but to see if the iPhone 5 really will have LTE connectivity. If it does, Samsung plans to take "immediate legal action" against Apple for infringing some of Samsung's LTE connectivity patents, according to the Korea Times.
You can follow all the action of Apple's expected iPhone launch Wednesday with PCWorld's live blog starting at 10 a.m. Pacific.

Commentary By Gary Stokes
The health supplement industries are quietly slaughtering massive numbers of sharks by quietly riding the coat tails of destruction, caused by the shark fin and shark meat industries and just picking up the 'scraps' as they'd have you believe.
The demand for this miracle drug that supposedly temporarily relieves joint pain is growing as the average lifespan of humans lengthens. Chondroitin Sulphate is the core ingredient and can be found in any cartilaginous form. Sharks as well as cattle have cartilage, but the quality and grades vary.
An example of this would be the mass genocide of blue sharks that pass through the Japanese port of Kesenuma daily. Blue sharks have the highest levels of Chondroitin Sulphate, yet their meat is considered almost worthless due to high urea levels, this means that they are deliberately being targeted for the health supplement industry, an industry that markets itself on being sourced on 'by-products'. The Japanese scientists have perfected the process and Japanese cartilage pills are considered to be the purest, giving more relief for less pills or 'more bang for your buck!'
Yet Blue Sharks are also being targeted in Australia and New Zealand, too. One company COSTAR has this statement and exports globally:
"Blue Shark Cartilage is obtained from the most pollution free waters, the Antarctic Sea around Australia and New Zealand, which is the highest quality."
In 2013, the global shopping organization GROUPON was challenged by Sea Shepherd on ethical grounds over a promotional offer for Shark Cartilage pills on an offer within Asia. Groupon made a swift and responsible decision to not only cease the promotion immediately, but to announce that GROUPON would "also refrain from launching any deals involving shark or shark fin related products."
Thousands welcomed this statement globally and it restored faith in the company.
Sadly like most corporations, greed or ignorance seems to have triumphed, and today GROUPON has an offer for Shark Cartilage pills on offer for US$7.99 on their US websites.
So why should you avoid shark cartilage pills?
Shark Cartilage pills do not specify which species of shark are used in their production. These pills are often made with a cocktail of shark chondroitin from multiple species, whatever is available at the time. A recent example of this would be the discovery of a whale shark processing factory in Puqi, China by WildLifeRisk, (a Hong Kong based NGO). This undercover investigation will be featured in the upcoming movie "6" directed by Louie Psihoyos of Oceanic Preservation Society, who also made the Oscar-winning documentary, "The Cove." Here whale sharks were being processed for shark liver oil, as well as cartilage, fins, meat and skin. These whale sharks ended up in Shark Liver Oil capsules being sold in the USA and Canada under the brand OMOJO in stores such as WALGREENS, TARGET, THE VITAMIN SHOPPE and DRUGSTORE.com. Besides OMOJO not informing their sellers that they are selling pills made from a CITES Appendix II listed endangered species, they also made them accomplices in a Trans National Wildlife Crime. It is illegal to kill whale sharks in China, and its illegal to profit from a crime committed in another country, otherwise known as a Trans National Wildlife Crime. The pills also broke CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species) that forbids the 'International Trade' unless a CITES permit is applied for. OMOJO is also in violation of the United States Lacey Act. Technically, by purchasing these pills, legally YOU the buyer are also an accomplice in a Trans National Wildlife Crime, in the same way that if you purchase ivory, and therefore have the illegal blood on your hands. So you may want to watch out what you and your family are purchasing.
"It's just by-catch!"
This is what all the producers of shark cartilage will tell you, even those in Kesenuma, Japan. In fact this is exactly what the South Australian Shark Cartilage Company told us two days ago. "Yes, it does genuinely concern us where we source our by-product!" The company believes that they are not part of the problem facing sharks, as they source their cartilage from fishermen out for meat for the Australian Fish & Chip market.
The problem is that who ever you talk to — shark fin traders, cartilage pill producers or meat vendors — each one claims to be using the by-catch of the other! Meanwhile more than 100 million sharks are being wiped out annually, and this is the reality. Fishermen fish for money, and so long as people will pay for shark parts they will continue to kill them. If the cartilage were literally a waste item that would be generally thrown away you would think it would be free! But no, the fishermen make money from the cartilage, therefore proving a financial demand is present, which continues to fuel the targeting of sharks.
"Yes, we do buy the bi product from the fisherman and are well aware of the shark species by-product that we purchase and receive, which is school and gummy shark…." South Australian Shark Cartilage Company
The myths being spread about the benefits and powers of shark cartilage range from the slightly believable to the absolutely far-fetched. Manufacturers will make up any sales pitch to say why their product is better, more effective or purer than that of their competitors. The South Australian Shark Cartilage Company, for example, uses an "Ocean Cleansing" process where microscopic sea lice clean the cartilage, using these little critters to eat away any remaining flesh so only the purest cartilage is used. Other companies around the world have gone a whole lot further in their statement, claiming that shark cartilage is a cure for cancer. Imagine how low you have to be to sell people on false hopes, so that they can sit by and watch their loved ones succumb to cancer and die. Even the American Cancer Society has come out against these statements:
"Available scientific evidence does not support claims that shark cartilage products sold as dietary supplements are an effective treatment for cancer, osteoporosis, or any other disease." – American Cancer Society website.
Even the South Australian Shark Cartilage Company makes similar statements relating to scientific studies and research:
"Based on clinical research, this combined Chondroitin/Glucosamine has benefited many osteoarthritis sufferers." – South Australian Shark Cartilage Co.
People will do or say anything to sell their wares!
The Plant-Based Alternative
We are not asking you to deny pain relief to loved ones in your family. Even though chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine are not 'scientifically proven', many people have claimed to see some benefits.
As with most things, there are plant-based alternatives to Chondroitin Sulphate & Glucosamine. These are Vegan certified, and easy to find online, so please check out your family's medicine cabinet, and replace any shark cartilage products for your loved ones.

text: An image and details surrounding a purported new HTC smartphone code-named "Zeta" have been uncovered. Following BGR's exclusive reports revealing two upcoming HTC phones set to be unveiled early next year at Mobile World Congress — the HTC Edge and HTC Ville — Engadget on Tuesday published a render of the HTC Zeta. Featuring a unique design and a near-edgeless 4.5-inch 720p display, the Zeta is rumored to sport a unibody aluminum case, quad-core 2.5GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, Beats Audio, Bluetooth 4.0, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and a 1,830 mAh battery. The phone will run Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich according to the report, likely beneath a new version of HTC's Sense UI. Pricing and a launch date are still mysteries, but the beefed up 2.5GHz quad-core chipset could mean this flagship Android phone will be announced later in the year while the Edge and Ville help lead HTC's lineup in the first half.

The cuts are part of $3 billion in reductions aimed at helping the agency avert bankruptcy next year. It would virtually eliminate the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day, a change in first-class delivery standards that have been in place since 1971.
The plant closures are expected to result in the elimination of roughly 28,000 jobs nationwide.
As part of the plan, the USPS could close 11 mail processing facilities in Pennsylvania, six in New Jersey and one in Delaware.
Once again, the USPS made available the complete list of targeted facilities. The document was originally released in September as a list of facilities that were "under review." Now, those same facilities are now slated for closure.
The cuts, now being finalized, would close 252 out of 461 mail processing centers across the country starting next April. Because the consolidations typically would lengthen the distance mail travels from post office to processing center, the agency also would lower delivery standards.
At a news briefing, postal vice president David Williams stressed the move was necessary to cut costs as more people turn to the Internet for email communications and bill payment. After reaching a peak of 98 million in 2006, first-class mail volume is now at 78 million. It is projected to drop to roughly half that volume by 2020.
"Are we writing off first class mail? No," Williams said. "Customers are making their choices, and what we are doing is responding to the current market conditions and placing the postal service on a path to allow us to respond to future changes."
Currently, first-class mail is supposed to be delivered to homes and businesses within the continental U.S. in one to three days. After the cuts are in place, the delivery time will lengthen to between two and three days, meaning mailers no longer could expect next-day delivery in surrounding communities. Periodicals could take between two days and nine days.
Williams said in certain narrow situations first-class mail might be delivered the next day - if, for example, newspapers, magazines or other bulk mailers are able to meet new tighter deadlines and drop off shipments directly at the processing centers that remain open.
But in the vast majority of cases, everyday users of first-class mail will see delays of one or two days, including those who pay bills by check, send birthday cards, write letters, or receive prescription drugs or Netflix DVDs by mail.
After five years in the red, the post office faces imminent default this month on a $5.5 billion annual payment to the Treasury for retiree health benefits. It is projected to have a record loss of $14.1 billion next year. The Postal Service has said the agency must make cuts of $20 billion by 2015 to be profitable.
It already has announced a 1-cent increase in first-class mail to 45 cents beginning Jan. 22.
Separate bills that have passed House and Senate committees would give the Postal Service more authority and liquidity to stave off immediate bankruptcy. But prospects are somewhat dim for final congressional action on those bills anytime soon, especially if the measures are seen in an election year as promoting layoffs and cuts to neighborhood post offices.
On Monday, the Postal Service said it welcomed congressional changes that would give it more authority to reduce delivery to five days a week, raise stamp prices and reduce health care and other labor costs. But the Postal Service said it was opposed to provisions in both the House and Senate measures that would require additional layers of review before it could close post offices and processing centers.
"Speed is very important to the Postal Service in our ability to capture savings," Williams said.
Maine Sen. Susan Collins, the top Republican on the Senate committee that oversees the post office, believes the agency is taking the wrong approach. She says service cuts will only push more consumers to online bill payment or private carriers such as UPS or FedEx, leading to lower revenue in the future.

- Progress of a patch towards generating graphs for performance data
- Has everyone identified and tried to run a single test case?
- Progress was made with some components identifying a single testcase--no problems in executing those tests
- Why graphs cannot be generated currently for our performance tests:
- Hardcoded component patterns (org.eclipse.ui, org.eclipse.jdt.core, etc.) prevented our results from being recorded
- Required the JVM to be specified as "sun"
- The errors that occurred were often NPEs or something that wasn't very helpful in identifying the root of the problem
- Nick has a patch for at least allowing WTP components to generate graphs
- Reiteration of the fact that these performance tests will be run as part of our build
Action items
- Remaining components should work on their single performance test and try to get it to run
- Nick is to create a bug under releng to supply the patch to get graph generation working for WTP

Last week we met Pragati, who lost 8 lbs in 21 days. Today we meet Lisa, who has more energy, clearer thoughts and has gone from a size 16 to a size 4 in almost a year!
HH: How did you learn about a plant-based diet?
I saw an episode of Oprah last March, where she and her staff went on a one-week vegan challenge. I decided to join in but wanted to challenge myself for two weeks. In April, Dr. Oz had a segment on his show featuring "Forks Over Knives." I sat on the end of the coffee table absolutely intrigued with the info I was hearing. The documentary had not been released yet, so I had to read all I could about it until it was available.
March 30 will be one year that I've been following the plant-based way of eating.
HH: Was adopting a plant-based diet a big adjustment for you?
I have never been a big meat eater so that part was not hard at all. I did however eat fish, dairy and eggs. It took a little getting used to, but it was something I could do without too much stress. Now I don't miss those things at all.
HH: Have you experienced any positive changes?
I have lost almost 65 pounds and I feel better than I ever have in my life. I have gone from a size 16 to a size 4.
The weight started falling off AND something amazing happened to me (me, the one who has been addicted to fat and sugar my whole life). What I started to experience is, when I totally eliminated processed foods, sugar, and oils, I no longer craved them. Oh how I wish I had known this years ago. The impact this has had on my life is greater than I could ever explain. Every day I'm approached by people asking me how I lost the weight. I'm very excited to tell them. I honestly feel like I know a secret and want to share it with all. So many people can't believe that you can live (and thrive) on plants!
HH: Any other positive benefits or lifestyle changes?
My daily lifestyle starts with me bounding out of bed every morning with energy, clear thoughts, and such patience with the world around me. It's amazing. My biggest lifestyle change is to always plan ahead. I always walk out of the door with a kit full of water, fruit, nuts, seeds etc. It's a routine now. I don't even have to think about doing it. I also carry a small bag in my purse with shakers of nutritional yeast, ground flaxseed, chia seeds and a small bottle of apple cider vinegar. These come in handy when I am out to eat and need to dress up a salad or baked potato. Also, if I know I'm going out to eat, I smuggle an avocado in my purse to add to my salad.
HH: What's a typical day of food look like for you now?
My daily meal planning is simple. If I wake up wanting a traditional breakfast, I opt for oatmeal or Uncle Sam cereal, or Lindsay's Tofu Scramble ;) I eat a lot of homemade soups. Almost everyday, I have some sort of wrap with a Tex-Mex flavor...and always avocados! I usually have my three main meals before 4:00 pm and then have fruit in the evening. I really try not to eat after 7:00 pm.
HH: Any advice for those thinking about adopting a plant-based diet?
I would recommend to anyone who is having a hard time dealing with food addiction/diet issues to try a whole foods, plant based diet for about three weeks and just see how wonderful you feel! Totally take out meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, oils, sugar, artificial sweeteners and processed foods of ALL kinds. Like I said before, when these foods are really gone, you don't crave them anymore and it's such a freedom! I would also recommend reading about plant based nutrition before diving in.
I just turned 46 in February and for the past nine months, for the first time in my life, my food addictions are gone. I eat to fuel. For the first time I can taste and appreciate the wonderful flavors that grow from the earth....and finally, I have peace with food issues.

DNC host committee owes $8 million
The host committee for the Democratic National Convention owes nearly $8 million after it fell short of its fundraising goal for the September event.
The committee borrowed $7.9 million from a $10 million line of credit that Duke Energy guaranteed in 2010. That money is due by Feb. 28, 2013, the company said Wednesday.
Overall, the Charlotte host committee raised $24.1 million, and while it was able to cut convention costs to just over $31 million, that still left it well short, the Charlotte Observer reported Wednesday.
The Democrats had self-imposed restrictions that banned contributions from lobbyists and corporations, although labor unions gave $2.2 million to the Charlotte convention, the Observer said.
Duke Energy said it's working with the host committee, adding that it has not used "any utility customer funds to pay for any aspects of the convention, or events associated with the convention."
The company also donated $4 million in cash and $1.7 million of in-kind contributions, such as temporary office space and parking.
"By virtually all accounts, the convention was a tremendous success and will drive new economic development throughout the region," Duke Energy said. "The committee has stated that it continues to raise funds to repay the banks and that convention invoices are still being paid. Duke Energy will continue to work with the convention organizers and others in the coming months to ensure the line of credit is paid."
Dan Murrey, the host committee's executive director, still hailed the convention as one of the most successful in history.
"Beyond showcasing Charlotte for the entire world, the convention generated millions of dollars in economic activity for our community and valuable infrastructure improvements that have already yielded increased interests among convention planners," Murrey said in a statement. "We have accomplished all of this without passing any of these costs on to the taxpayers. The legacy this convention will leave is historic and I am honored to have been part of it."
Neither Obama for America nor the DNC will help the host committee makeup the shortfall.
