Obama's First Term
Obama's First Term
During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Barack Obama received significant support from prominent Republicans, including former governors, members of congress and other high-ranking officials. On November 4, 2008, Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States, capturing 53% of the popular vote, including 9% of Republicans and 20% of self-described Conservatives.
President Obama's cabinet has included both Republicans and conservatives, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Army Secretary John McHugh, and Jon Huntsman, the former Governor of Utah, who was chosen to be the U.S.'s Ambassador to China.
Domestic Policy
Tax Cuts
In February, 2009, Obama signed the American Recovery and Investment Act, which included $288 billion in tax cuts, arguably the largest tax cuts in American history. These cuts included a payroll tax credit of $400 per worker and $800 per married couple in 2009 and 2010, and an extension of revisions in the Alternative Minimum Tax, which saved middle-class Americans $70 billion. Additionally, the legislation included over $30 billion in tax cuts for American businesses.
In December, 2010, President Obama signed a $858 tax cut bill into law, after almost equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans voted in support of the legislation. The package extended tax cuts signed by President Bush, cut payroll taxes by 2% for a year, and extended unemployment benefits for 13 months. Of the tax cuts, Obama stated, "I know there are different aspects of this plan to which members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, object. That's the nature of compromise. But we worked hard to negotiate an agreement that's a win for middle-class families and a win for our economy."
Bipartisan Budget Commission
In February, 2010, President Obama signed an executive order creating the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. The Commission's purpose was to identify "…policies to improve the fiscal situation in the medium term and to achieve fiscal sustainability over the long run." The Commission included both Republicans and Democrats, including former Republican Senator Alan Simpson, current Republican Senators Judd Gregg, Tom Coburn and Mike Crapo, and current Republican members of the house, including the Chair of the House Budget Committee, Paul Ryan.
After meeting for several months, the Commission released its final recommendations in December 2010.
Health Care Reform
Throughout the health care reform debates of 2009 and 2010, President Obama refused to commit to either a single-payer health care system, favored by liberal Democrats, or a government-sponsored public option-- the favored choice among other Democrats. Instead, the President focused on enacting legislation that would cover the vast majority of Americans and lower health care costs, even if it was not the first choice of liberal activists.
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the law will cut the federal deficit by $138 billion over 10 years.
The Affordable Care Act has been compared to the health care law Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney enacted four years earlier when he served as the Governor of Massachusetts. Romney's law created exchanges designed to increase competition in the purchase of health insurance and included a requirement that every individual purchase health insurance.
Early in Obama's first term, Mitt Romney urged the President to enact healthcare legislation similar to that which he signed into law in Massachusetts.
The Affordable Care Act has been compared to health care legislation co-sponsored by 19 Republican Senators in 1993, including current Republican Senators Chuck Grassley, Orrin Hatch and Richard Lugar. Mitt Romney supported this legislation.
The 1993 Republican bill called for government subsidies to low-income individuals and families to help them purchase their own health coverage, and included a requirement for individuals to purchase health insurance. Both of these provisions are supported by 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich.
Said former Republican Senator from Minnesota David Durenberger soon after the Affordable Care Act passed, "the legislation which President Obama signed is the best we can do as a nation… right now. It is historic. The commitment to universal access to health care through universal insurance coverage is the law of the land."
In the words of Norman Ornstein, of the conservative think tank The American Enterprise Institute (AEI):
"The Democrats' health-reform plan includes no public option and relies on managed competition through exchanges set up much like those for federal employees. The individual mandate in the plan sprang from a Heritage Foundation idea that was endorsed years ago by a range of conservatives and provided the backbone of the Massachusetts plan that was crafted and, until recently, heartily defended by Mitt Romney. It would be fair to describe the new act as Romneycare crossed with the managed-competition bill proposed in 1994 by Republican Sens. John Chafee, David Durenberger, Charles Grassley and Bob Dole -- in other words, as a moderate Republican plan."
Included the in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 are provisions which:
- Eliminate lifetime limits on insurance coverage
- Prevent health insurance companies from denying coverage because of a pre-existing condition
- Allow young adults to remain on parents' insurance until age 26.
- Provide subsidies for individuals and families and are not covered by an employer to purchase their own insurance.
- Creates healthcare exchanges for uninsured people to purchase coverage at competitive rates.
- Gives people on Medicare new access to free preventive services such as screenings for cancer and diabetes.
- Closes the "doughnut hole" gap in Medicare Part-D by 2020.
- Slows spending increases for Medicare beneficiaries to 2% per year, from the current rate of 4% a year.
In June, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.
Other Domestic Policy Achievements
In January, 2010, President Obama accepted an invitation to speak at the GOP House Issues Conference in Baltimore, answering questions from the GOP leadership and offering to work across the aisle to help solve the nation's most pressing problems.
In February, 2010, President Obama signed the "Pay-Go" rule into law, restoring a requirement that the federal government spend only what it can afford. That June, the President directed federal agencies to develop plans for disposing of unneeded real estate and eliminate unnecessary or non-economical lands and properties.
President Obama has called for the repeal of the capital gains tax for small businesses, has proposed a three-year freeze on federal discretionary spending beginning in 2011 and is in the process of cutting 120 federal programs identified as either wasteful or unnecessary.
In his 2011 State of the Union Address, President Obama called for investments in the nation's infrastructure, a call that was applauded by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
During the first three years of the Obama Presidency, the number of government employees dropped 2.6%-- a record reduction, and a larger decrease than that overseen by President Reagan during his first three years in office.
In January of this year, President Barack Obama proposed consolidating six trade and commerce agencies within the federal government, a measure that would further reduce the number of federal employees and cut costs.
Under President Obama, the private sector has added jobs every month since April, 2010.
Despite repeated claims by his Republican opponents, growth in federal spending under President Obama is slower than that under Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II. In fiscal 2013 — the final budget of Obama's term — spending is scheduled to fall 1.3%, to $3.58 trillion.
Foreign Affairs
Iraq, Afghanistan and North Africa
President Obama has ended the American military presence in Iraq, as he pledged during the 2008 campaign.
In a December 2009 address, President Obama committed 30,000 more U.S. troops to help fight the growing insurgency in Afghanistan. The surge was accompanied by a change in strategy, including a sixfold increase in the number of Special Operations raids, which has disrupted the operations of the Taliban and Taliban-linked groups.
In March 2011 testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee, General David Petraeus, Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan, announced that much of the Taliban's momentum since 2005 had been halted and reversed in a number of important areas.
Since the surge, Afghans have slowly assumed more responsibility for their own security. By early 2011, Afghan National Security Forces had grown to more than 270,000-- a 42% expansion-- and the Afghan National Army had grown to more than 152,000-- a 57% increase.
On May 1, 2011, President Obama ordered a military strike inside of Pakistan targeting Osama bin Laden. Later that evening, the President announced that the al-Qaida leader was killed during the operation.
Other Foreign Policy Achievements
During his first term, President Obama signed the New Start nuclear arms treaty with Russia, an extension of President Reagan's START treaty of the 1980's. The Obama agreement commits the U.S. and Russia to reduce their number of strategic nuclear warheads, long-range missiles and bombers over the next seven years.
Before the 2012 election, President Obama was endorsed by many prominent Republicans and former Republicans, including Colin Powell, Michael Bloomberg, Charlie Crist, Larry Pressler and Susan Eisenhower.
Wow our President has been really busy trying to lay foundational poliices in place so he can continue to build upon the promises he expressed to the American people during the campaign. I would like to see more manifestions of his policies in putting people back to work as soon as possible and deliverying the health care that so many Americans need! I hope he gets a second term; I know it is going to be a real tight race. I hope the American people step up to the plate and vote President Obama back in for a second term.
Obama 2012 Agree!
Would just like to say from what I have read here(I just found the website tonite)I am SO happy to see that indeed,there is still sanity to be found on both sides of the isle!I registered as a Republican many years ago from listening to my Grandmother who was actively engaged in politcs.We are in the South,&grew up with the"Dixie-crats"&so being a Republican then was a sign of wanting to move forward&away from policies that prevented all people from getting a chance to suceed&trying to ensurethat Life,Liberty&the Pursuit of happiness would apply to all citizens,not just a select few.The goals as stated by the GOP fit with what I was taught America was all about.Sadly,I was disillusioned quickly&have voted Democrat in every election since Bush Sr.
The hard turn the GOP has taken is quite literally,terrifying.I hope that you can get your message of real fiscal&social sanity out&I will now be happy to say I have finally found people in the GOP I can work with.Where I live The Tea Party is in total control¬ in a good way.Here,they are of the severe right-turn Clyde into the wall that the word"fascism"is written in stone kind,&are seeking to undo even the most common sense policies while Our State&it's people continue on a horrific downward spiral.They have repeatedly tried to say that their tactics have made it better here,but when your State is now home to 33% of the Nations homeless&on average 100 more become that way everyday still,there's just no sane way you can believe the policies they've put into place are working.I want to everything I can to try&help make things better,not just for myself,but my children&grandchildren,and even the ones that come long after I'm gone.
I'm still a registered Republican(guess subconciously I held onto hope it would change eventually).Hopefully we can all find a way to work together by remembering first&foremost that we're all Americans,in this mess together&instead of enemies that need to keep lobbing hate-bombs at each other in order to get somewhere.Thanks again for the lift of a sagging political spirit.May we all come out the other side of this a better People&a stronger Nation.
Welcome, Kaelyn! We're glad to have you!
Hello! Thank you for a very informative article about Obama. You have provided a detailed report on his policy during his first term. I think that Obama is a kind of president America needs right now. I admire him for he has stopped the military actions in Iraq, and, besides, he keeps his promises, which is something new in the eworld of politics.

Really got sick of watching my Republican 'brethren' block Obama's initiatives and proposals in the name of the Party. After perusing this site and reading its motto "America first, party second" I signed up without fear of reprisals; this is truly how I feel and am glad to see others agree.
Being a Welsh Brit my opinions may carry no weight but they may still be of interest.
I truly believe that Barack Obama is the right person to lead America through the next four years... any other scenario is anathema to me. He has proven to be a pragmatist at a time when whether the glass is half empty or half full is not important... when finding a way to allow the people to drink is the only thing that matters and it seems to me that that matter is and has been President Obama's only concern.
Europe, and I include the UK as an integral part of the European Community, has suffered the same financial restrictions as the US of A and most of us are looking to the US for guidance, prudence and the baby steps needed to get us moving forward again. President Obama refuses to try and force the financial baby to walk beyond its innate capabilities, he knows that in the present situation of rough paths and bumpy roads we all need to create small smooth patches to allow fiscal progress... and the conservatives simply hate his conservative realism.
But beyond domestic concerns, which have been largely dictated by global issues, President Obama has reached out and touched the world. Where some Americans refuse to see the bigger picture the citizens of the wider world realise that the most important nation of the western world is led by a President who reflects their concerns, leads as a world leader should, with all the attributes, personal and presidential that the world needs in a time of turmoil, troubles and uncertainty.
That President Barack Obama is the person to lead the world forward is an absolute certainty for me... and I truly and pasionately wish that we could all vote on that issue.
In the meantime I wish President Obama a successful campaign and the only result that offers hope to all the citizens of the world.
Dai thank you!! what wonderful comments!!
I am so tickle pink when I see the media showing President Obama's days of pot partying lol---- I guess the media or "The Powers that be" have to attempt to devalue the President at any means necessary; I am so proud of this wonderful President!! ----I look for more "ah ha" moments about the president as this election heats up lol---- I don't get the polls???----- one day President Obama is down in Florida and the next day he is up in Florida?? What is going on?? I know the polls will fluctuate as time goes on!! I have to admit, I just relocated to another part of the city where I live and I have gotten three calls from the polling place!! ----
My previous community was predominantly a minority community; now my current community is somewhat diverse with maybe 30% Hispanics 50 or 60% Caucasian and maybe 5 or 10% African Americans. This is the first time I have ever gotten a call from a polling place, so it must be associated with what community you live in. I am sure whoever does these polling knows the demographics of the communities they are targeting. Also, the questions are so skewed and bent in their presentation!---! It does not allow the recipient a neutral or optional answer; the questions are skewed against the President.
I may be a little paranoid but I am beginning to think that the purpose of some these polling's are to give the psychological impression or illusion that Romney is a strong contender and the American people favors him over the current President?? Lol---- I recall back in 2008 when the polls had President Obama down in Indiana and he won that State!! Also, the polls had Obama and McCain kinda neck to neck but when it was all said and done the President won with a landslide!!! --- I know this is a volatile election and all the cards are going to be pulled out the deck to attack this president, so I don't take anything for granted!!---- Oh what happen to the ExPAT??? are they still involved in this election?? I remember a lot of EXpats were really involved in this election and I hope they continue to be involved!! we need every vote because voter suppression is BIG this time around!! I can't believe the twisted perception that many people have against President Obama. I believe this is a reality check for the Country to realize how far we have to go for human rights and equal rights. I know we have come far but we still have a longgggg way to go!!! lol
glad to see you guys are still around. I must admit I did take a look at Mitt Romney but he doesnt's stand for anything and there's too much secrecy and evasiveness for me to get interested. As a woman I've been appalled at the way the GOP is trying to restrict the rights of woman and thrust us back to the 50's.
Thank God ...
I am a French lady and long supporter of Ronald Reagan. I also love Obama and think he is doing a great job. I see many similarities between Reagan and Obama on the stimulus, saving the auto industry and banks, tax cuts, strength in the miltary, healthcare, strengthening social security, etc. I truly hope and pray that Obama stays in their for another 4 years. He is amazing and a man of the world. It took Bush 8 years and he never got Ossama Ben Laden, Obama got him in 2 years and never boasted. He did an organised covert operation and it worked. God bless Obama
I've been a Republican since 1968, when I turned 21 and registered to vote. I've never agreed with their social agenda, but I never voted for a Democrat for President unil John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate.
I don't recognize the Republican Party any more. I remember reading that both Parties wanted Ike to run under their banner but he chose the Republicans. I doubt he would do the same today.
I despise the Republican attempts to supress the vote of groups they think won't vote for them.
I've gotten a few calls from Republicans asking for my support. I told them that until they realize that Gay Marriage and abortion are not the biggest problem facing this country, they won't get another vote from me.
I worked for Fortune 500 companies for 34 years. My ex and I graduated from college about the time the attacks on the middle class began. We never could understand why we couldn't get ahead. We thought we had chosen the wrong professions. We weren't informed enough to realize that Congress was passing laws that hamstrung us.
Over the past 12 to 15 years, I have watched 2 different IT companies make cuts to their workforces with no regard to the impact on their customers. Multiple layoffs left me as the only person in my department. I was, as the saying goes, a single point of failure because I had no backup. In June they laid me off with no idea how my work would be done. From what I hear, the work just keeps piling up with no one to do it. And these people think that 'Corporations are People' is a good idea?
How do people with common sense regain control of the Republican Party? I may not be eligible for membership in this website after the election because I am seriously considering registering as a Democrat or Independent.
I'm neither in love with the Democrats nor the Republicans. As a matter of fact I believe that it is time for a viable 3rd party. That being said, I hope you folks can rid your party of the vermin consisting of white racists, fascists and Bible-thumpers who have hijacked it. Even Goldwater saw the need for compromise. I hope so for our country's sake...

Researchers working on the Framingham Heart Study found that people who eat nuts frequently, about four or five times a week, have lower cholesterol levels than those who never eat nuts. Even consuming nuts once or twice a week showed improved cholesterol levels than the non-nut eaters.
Nuts also offer enhanced satiety. These sassy little patties are stout enough to stand on their own and offer a delicious, well-rounded meal served with a steamed vegetable and a tossed salad. Sandwich lovers will appreciate these flavorful patties, too. Tuck them into a pita and top with chopped tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. Cook the wild rice a day ahead and the patties will practically make themselves. Then measure and set aside the cooked rice needed for this recipe. The leftover rice can be used in a salad or reheated for another meal.
Sesame Nut Patties
Yield: 9 to 11 (3-inch) patties

An Illinois farmer and a former grain elevator manager were sentenced to prison for a scheme to defraud the elevator and creditors.
The farmer, Robert James Printz of Fairbury, was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay $7 million in restitution. Timothy Boerma was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to pay $6.7 million in restitution.
Printz and Boerma pleaded guilty last May to wire fraud for a scheme in 2009 and 2010 to defraud CNH Capital, which provided Printz with a line of credit for farm operations, and Towanda Grain. Printz also pleaded guilty to money laundering.
Boerma issued Printz advance checks worth more than twice the value of the grain Printz delivered.
Boerma admitted making false entries in the elevator�s books.

Sunday night's Emmy Awards featured the standard "In Memoriam" segment, in which the faces and clips of the recently deceased played to varying levels of applause. But this year, they made a decision to single out five people to receive special tributes, delivered — sometimes tearfully — by former costars.
One of the most curious decisions made for these tributes was that no actual clips were used to demonstrate said person's exceptional mastery of the craft. Instead, we got secondhand descriptions of Jonathan Winters' best comedy bits courtesy of Robin Williams, or a pivotal scene between Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton as re-created by Rob Reiner.
Not that there's ever a chance to redo the Emmys, but if there were, we humbly submit these clips that could have been played to better remember the five deemed deserving of the honor.
Jonathan Winters:
Though Robin Williams referenced this improvised bit and even did a little bit of it himself, there's nothing quite like watching the original play out straight from the mind and mouth of Winters himself. This took place on the "Jack Paar Show" in April 1964.
Jean Stapleton:
Yes, there were plenty of important, trailblazing scenes between Stapleton's long-suffering Edith Bunker and her bigoted, sexist husband Archie (Carroll O'Connor), but above all, "All in the Family" was a comedy, and so it seems just that the clip to best remember Stapleton's performance was one that evoked laughs, not tears. Therefore, we suggest this moment from the 1976 episode "Archie's Operation."
Cory Monteith:
The Canadian actor's career had just started to take off when he died at the early age of 31. But if nothing else, it was his proficiency at singing and dancing that launched his profile, so perhaps the best clip to remember him would be the first time audiences really felt like this kid had something to offer. We suggest the cast performance of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" from the very first episode of "Glee" back in 2009.
James Gandolfini:
There were many scenes from Gandolfini's six seasons on "The Sopranos" that showcase the range of his textured portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano, who could be loving, cruel, silly and violent, sometimes all in the same scene. However, most of those scenes involved more swearing than we're allowed to post here. So instead, we offer up the much-discussed final scene of the series, with Soprano hunkering down for a quiet dinner with his family in a New Jersey diner. The ending of this scene was an enigma and so was Gandolfini, an intensely private actor. By coincidence, this scene also features Journey's "Don't Stop Believin,'" the song of choice for great TV moments.
Gary David Goldberg:
Goldberg wasn't an actor, but as a TV writer and producer, he had to have an eye for great acting talent. So what better way to showcase that skill than this scene from the 1984 "Family Ties" episode "Say Uncle," in which guest star Tom Hanks played Alex Keaton's Uncle Ned. Michael J. Fox and Hanks sharing a scene on a network sitcom just before both became global movie superstars. The moment carries a message (very important for sitcoms from the 1980s) but was also funny.

Water Rat
Many urban Australians are not aware that there is a native rat in our waterways! These shy creatures will move quickly away when threatened and if seen may be mistaken for a Platypus.
Water Rats are not classified as a threatened species. Although the species is not considered to be vulnerable, they suffer during natural disasters, as humans and other animals do, and are at risk from domestic dogs and cats and feral animals.
Meeting the Water Rats at Healesville Sanctuary is an important way to connect with the animals of Australia, and to learn about the Sanctuary's conservation programs, especially those aimed at conserving threatened native species. The money you spend helps to support the Sanctuary's conservation programs and its care of native wildlife, as well as fight species extinction.
Water Rats are found mainly throughout eastern Australia. They live near freshwater creeks, lakes, dams and irrigation channels.
They mainly eat fish, crustaceans and insects but also small birds, mammals, frogs and reptiles. They source their food from the shallows, but may also dive in search of food. They are said to be one of the few animals that know how to safely eat cane toads, which have poisonous glands that are deadly to most would-be predators.
The fur on their backs and sides is grey to black but their bellies are golden or even cream-coloured. They have webbed back feet and many whiskers on their face, so they resemble otters in some ways.
An adult may grow to 40cm long (excluding the tail) and weigh 1kg.
They live in burrows dug in the bank of the creek or channel. Their lifespan in the wild is short, only two or three years.
A Water Rat may have three to four young in a litter. The female will suckle the young for four weeks and she will stay with them for another month or so to teach them some life skills.

One of the plant's four plant air compressors blew a 100A fuse. The other two fuses are OK. After a few incidents where "blind fuse replacement" resulted in equipment damage, the plant engineer issued a memo stating that no fuse will be replaced until a determination has been made as to why it blew. Unfortunately, the memo didn't include instructions, and the maintenance department hasn't developed a checklist. Your DMM doesn't show a direct short. If the fuse blew due to a random event, you could be here all day running tests.
What should you check before replacing that fuse?
Identifying the cause of a blown fuse can be time-consuming and difficult. The maintenance department needs to develop equipment-specific checklists for the critical equipment and a general procedure for all other equipment.
The service manual for the air compressor may have recommendations, so start there. Some things to make sure you do:
- Inspect the fuse clips and connections for mechanical integrity. If you have a high-ohms tester, use it to check for electrical continuity.
- Perform insulation resistance tests on the motor windings.
- Measure voltage phase to phase. If there's more than a 2% difference between any of these measurements, you have a phase imbalance. If voltage is low on the phase that lost the fuse, you may have insulation problems; hi-pot the circuit conductors.
- Look in the power monitor logs to see if a transient event occurred coincident to the loss of that fuse.
- Before starting the compressor, install a power analyzer and vibration analyzer. Monitor operation for 15 minutes.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA | Momentum appeared to build Tuesday for Western military action against Syria, with the U.S. and France saying they are in position for a strike, while the government in Damascus vowed to use all possible measures to repel it.
The prospect of a dramatic U.S.-led intervention into Syria's civil war stemmed from the West's assertion - still not endorsed by U.N. inspectors - that President Bashar Assad's government was responsible for an alleged chemical attack on civilians outside Damascus on Aug. 21 that the group Doctors Without Borders says killed 355 people. Assad denies the claim.
The Arab League also threw its weight behind calls for punitive action, blaming the Syrian government for the attack and calling for those responsible to be brought to justice.
British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament to hold an emergency vote Thursday on his country's response. It is unlikely that any international military action would begin before then.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said U.S. military forces stand ready to strike Syria at once if President Barack Obama gives the order, and French President Francois Hollande said France was "ready to punish those who took the heinous decision to gas innocents."
Obama is weighing a response focused narrowly on punishing Assad for violating international agreements that ban the use of chemical weapons. Officials said the goal was not to drive Assad from power or impact the broader trajectory of Syria's bloody civil war, now in its third year.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday the West should be under no illusion that bombing Syrian military targets would help end the violence in Syria, an ally of Moscow, and he pointed to the volatile situations in Iraq and Libya that he said resulted from foreign military intervention.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said his country would use "all means available" to defend itself.
"We have the means to defend ourselves and we will surprise everyone," he said.
At a news conference in Damascus, al-Moallem challenged Washington to present proof to back up its accusations and he also likened the allegations to false American charges in 2003 that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction before the U.S.-led invasion of that country.
"They have a history of lies - Iraq," he said.
Vice President Joe Biden said there was no question that Assad was responsible for the attack - the highest-ranking U.S. official to say so - and the White House dismissed as "fanciful" the notion that anyone other than Assad could be to blame.
"Suggestions that there's any doubt about who's responsible for this are as preposterous as a suggestion that the attack did not occur," spokesman Jay Carney said.
A U.S. official said some of the evidence includes signals intelligence - information gathered from intercepted communications. The U.S. assessment is also based on the number of reported victims, the symptoms of those injured or killed, and witness accounts. The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations.
The United Nations said its team of chemical weapons experts in Syria had delayed a second trip to investigate the alleged attack by one day for security reasons. On Monday, the team came under sniper fire.
If Obama decides to order an attack against Syria, it would most likely involve sea-launched cruise missile attacks on Syrian military and communications targets.
Hagel said the U.S. Navy had four destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea positioned within range of targets inside Syria. U.S. warplanes were also in the region, he told BBC television during a visit to the southeast Asian nation of Brunei.
In Cyprus, Defense Minister Fotis Fotiou said naval traffic in the eastern Mediterranean was very heavy with vessels from "all the major powers." He also said Cypriot authorities were planning to deal with a possible exodus of foreign nationals from Syria.
U.S. military intervention in Syria was running into fierce opposition from some members of Congress. A growing chorus of Republican and Democratic lawmakers demanded that Obama seek congressional authorization for any strikes against the Assad regime.
Charles Heyman, a former British officer who edits The Armed Forces of the UK, said the lack of a U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force against the Syrian government greatly complicates matters for the West. He said that may make it difficult for Cameron to win parliamentary backing.
"It's clear the governments want some form of military operation, but if the Security Council doesn't recommend it, then the consensus is that it's plainly illegal under international law," Heyman said. "The only legal way to go to war is in self-defense and that claim is difficult to make."
Russia, a permanent member of the Security Council, has steadfastly opposed any international action against Syria.
Support for some sort of international military response is likely to grow if it is confirmed that Assad's regime was responsible.
The U.N confirmed its chemical weapons team's mission faced a one-day delay Tuesday to improve preparedness and safety after unidentified snipers opened fire on the team's convoy Monday.

I have essentially a table of numbers -- a time series of measurements. Each row in the table has 5 values for the 5 different categories, and a sum row for the total of all categories.
If I take the average of each column and sum the averages together, should it equal the average of the rows' sums (ignoring rounding error, of course)?
(I've got a case where the two values keep coming out different by about 30% and I'm wondering just how crazy I am.)
Update: See below -- I was (slightly) crazy and had an error in my code.

Cruyff: Suarez signals Barcelona style change
Johan Cruyff has slammed Barcelona over the signing of Luis Suarez, believing it could signal the end of their renowned brand of football.
Following the departure of Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal, Barcelona confirmed on Friday Suarez had signed a five-year deal after the club agreed an undisclosed fee with Liverpool for the controversial Uruguayan striker.
Barca coach Luis Enrique now has a star-studded front three made up of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Suarez ahead of the 2014-15 campaign as the Spanish giants attempt to reclaim the league title from defending champions Atletico Madrid.
However, Dutch legend Cruyff - a five-time La Liga winner as both a player and coach at Barca - doubts whether Messi, Neymar and Suarez can play in the same team due to their selfish nature.
"I am happy that Germany won the World Cup. They are playing the kind of football that Barcelona are distancing themselves from," said Cruyff in his column for Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.
"That feeling has only gotten stronger with the signing of Luis Suarez. He is a great player, but has a complicated character.
"I don't know how they plan to play free-flowing attacking football with Messi, Neymar and Suarez in one team. They are all players who rely on their individual actions.
"In signing him [Suarez], the club are showing a preference for individual genius over a team that plays great football.
"The style of play they developed under Frank Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola is being abandoned."

Rob seeded the F3 with two of himself? Anyway, I find it hard to determine how Rob will get rid of Matt or Mike because one of them is coming off RI. He would have to beat that person at the IC, maybe twice.
What might this be? Strong indicator that Ashley is GONE? Is this at the F4 or is this our F3?I say if it's at F4 and Grant or Andrea had come back in the game, they would be in this picture because I think Grant or Andrea would still hang with this group. I do not believe that Matt or Mike would.But I am thinking we are looking at the F3... JMO
Whatever it is. I think this should be Rob's last ever Survivor season. I'm pretty sure about it because he seemed to be running out of steam already.
Is Boston Rob trying to tease us? He tweeted these two pics...Final Four?Natalie, Matt, Rob & PhillipFinal Three?Rob, Natalie & Phillip

Advent wrote:Any word on when the others are going in? We're thinking about doing a trip in December 2014 and it would involve backpacking in Haleakala. I would think if there were a place to get a full charge somewhere around Kula it would be fine, correct? Is there one going in in Hana?
The map doesn't show any L1 sites in Hana, but I assume that someone has charged out there successfully. Any knowledge on this Shaun?
EcoCarRental wrote:The Kula Lodge DCFC is in the process of being installed right now, which will make Haleakala accessible. The Jump Smart Maui plan is to have a DCFC in Hana, a DCFC half way to Hana & several upcountry, with a total of 20 DCFC stations with 4 charge ports per station, which will make all of Maui accessible by 100% EV's. Originally the plan was to have all 20 stations installed by the end of 2013, so hopefully the remaining stations will be installed by the end of 2014. Our local electric company is also installing 2 DCFC, one at their headquarters in kahului & another one to be determined.
Advent wrote:That is awesome news! We're thinking about backpacking to the 3 cabins inside Haleakala and then making a trip out to Hana so it looks like the Leaf would work for us. Do you know if the lodge is installing an L2 charger as well? We'd need a place to stay the night before going up the mountain and that would work quite well, I think.

FUN's Go! America! Performance Series
Friday, December 23rd, 2011, Midnight - 3am
on Wm. Berger presents My Castle of Quiet
FUN, a name so simple, and yet so indicative of the project's inventive and whimsical approach to experimental, improvised music. And why shouldn't experimental music be FUN? Out of the conservatory and into the street, please! The Philadelphia-based ensemble's first, very enjoyable session from My Castle of Quiet, almost exactly a year old, was then followed by an engaging selection of remixes that following February, which, in addition to being one of the MCoQ live sets with the most hits on Google, also speaks to the band's seemingly irresistible proclivity to mess around with stuff, their sound creations being an endlessly malleable piece of clay that's constantly under attack. As part of their FUN's Go! America! Performance Series, the band returns to WFMU's My Castle of Quiet, for a session recorded on the very day that the great state of New Jersey entered the Union, December 18. This is the third year and performance in this series. For NJ's 224th anniversary, FUN pays sonic tribute to the Garden State on the 18th, and the session will be subsequently broadcast on the My Castle of Quiet show, Dec. 22/23, at approximately 12:30 a.m.

Love Butchers
Sunday, December 18th, 2011, 6am - 9am
on Beastin' The Airwaves! with Keilidh
Fresh off a Union Pool gig with the K-Holes, Keili welcomes Love Butchers. Remember when rock felt a little dangerous and you weren't really sure what was going to happen - like when Iggy would rip his shirt off and roll around in broken glass? That's how these guys make me feel, a little on edge, but turned on. Pounding drums, droning guitars, deep, sexy, sometimes guttural, drawn out vocals. These "nice guys" are the ones your mom told you to keep away from. So you didn't.

Thursday, December 15th, 2011, 9am - Noon
on Talk's Cheap with Jason Sigal
Universal Music couldn't have been too happy when some of their top artists appeared in a strange music video endorsing so-called "rogue" filesharing website Megaupload. Now, led by controversial outspoken Megaporn founder Kim 'Dotcom', Megaupload is suing Universal, claiming they abused the DMCA to censor the video on YouTube. Meanwhile, some of the artists who appear in the video -- including Will.i.am and P Diddy -- are saying they didn't give permission for the endorsement. What the heck is going on? Casey Rae-Hunter from the Future of Music Coalition calls in to help us understand this ridiculous situation.

Monday, December 12th, 2011, 9pm - Midnight
on Airborne Event
Brian Shimkovitz curates the outstanding blog Awesome Tapes From Africa, on which he shares the music Africans might pick up at the local cassette kiosk.

Instead, we hear the wild, raw, low-fi, raucous rhythms and harmonies of a far more real Africa. Brian will bring a selection of his favorite tapes and guest DJ with Dan, as well as talk about the record label on which he is beginning to reissue some of the best of his tapes.

Friday, December 9th, 2011, 3pm - 6pm
on Miniature Minotaurs with Kurt Gottschalk
Shelley Hirsch has been a fixture of the Downtown Music scene for decades. A talented composer, improviser and vocalist, her work willfully blurs lines between singing, acting and storytelling. A performance by Hirsch could be many different things - it's often a spontaneous burst of imagery, reacting to her surroundings, lapsing into dreamlike imagery and nostalgic songs. But it's never predictable. As such we don't know quite what she'll do when she drops by the Minotaur's cave, we only know that she'll be here.

on Miniature Minotaurs with Kurt Gottschalk
New York in the 1970s was reviled by the rest of the country. The city was broke, crime-ridden and seemed to be held together by graffiti and garbage bags. And out of that sludge heap blossomed hip-hop, salsa, disco and American punk and new wave. Rolling Stone senior critic Will Hermes documents New York's vital musical growth between 1973 and 1977 in his new book "Love Goes to Buildings on Fire," and he'll stop by the minotaur lair to guest DJ and talk tunes.

Misty Roses
Monday, November 28th, 2011, Noon - 3pm

Fronted by Robert Conroy and Johnny Perl, they channel the likes of Scott Walker, Dusty Springfield, Burt Bacharach,, Serge Gainsbourg, Jimmy Webb, Ennio Morricone and many other musicians who incorporate a certain sweeping orchestral sound into their work. Since carrying an orchestra with them is a bit out of the price range these days, Misty Roses often strips things down to an electronic version.

Watch courageous 'Team Jack' profile
Earlier on our "Big Ten Football Pregame Show," presented by Auto-Owners Insurance, our crew profiled Jack Hoffman, a young 7-year old boy from Atkinson, Neb., who is fighting brain cancer.

Prince William will attend Centrepoint's Winter Whites Gala at Kensington Palace solo later this month.
The Duke of Cambridge will attend the event at the Palace on November 26, where he will meet guests including young people who have benefited from the charity, which provides shelter and a safe place for homeless people aged 16-25.
New father William will attend a formal dinner, before he and guests take their place in the Doctor Zhivago-themed marquee in the Palace's grounds for a superstar filled concert.
Pop sensation Taylor Swift and rock heroes Bon Jovi will entertain guests at the winter-themed charity evening.
British singer James Blunt and classical violinist Charlie Siem are also set to perform. Prince William will be attending the event, without the Duchess of Cambridge who will be staying home to look after Prince George.
During the event, which hopes to raise money for the charity, William will deliver a speech and honour Jon Bon Jovi for his charity work.
The musician will receive the award in recognition of his work with the Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which helps families and young people across the United States escape the harsh conditions of poverty.
The evening's winter wonderland theme has been the creation of Hollywood screenwriter and producer Danielle Alexandra, who is also a trustee of the charity.
She praised how lives have "been transformed by the extraordinary work of Centrepoint and by Prince William's genuine and heartfelt dedication to young people affected by homelessness."
William has been patron of Centrepoint since 2005 after taking inspiration from his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, who worked with the organisation.
During the eight years, William has visited the charity's headquarters several times solo and with Kate. He also spent a night rough on the streets to highlight the real problems faced by young people who are homeless.
William has always been able to enlist the help of famous singers to help highlight causes close to his heart.
In 2007, the Prince invited popstars Fergie and Nelly Furtado to perform at the 'Concert for Diana' which was in honour of his late mother, the Princess of Wales.
