KLF: Chaos Magic Music Money is a new eBook charting the strange journey of prankster musicians/artists Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty at the birth of acid house. The KLF (aka The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu aka The Timelords) emerged from a similar countercultural milieu of high weirdness that inspired bOING bOING, from Robert Anton Wilson and Discordianism to Dada, punk, and Alan Moore. Of course, The KLF are best known for either burning one million British pounds for a music video or their 1988 melding of Gary Glitter's "Rock And Roll (Part Two)" with the Doctor Who theme. Drummond and Cauty's connections to Doctor Who run much deeper than that though. Over at the Daily Grail, Greg Taylor explores the KLF/Doctor Who synchronicities in his article, "The Regeneration of Doctor Who."

Title (Max 100 Characters)
From Joanna Comfort: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band announced today that they will perform at Nationals Park – home of the Washington Nationals – on Friday, September 14 as an extension of their 2012 'Wrecking Ball' World Tour.
Tickets and parking will go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 27 at 10 a.m., online at www.tickets.com and by phone at 888.632.6287. The show will be held rain or shine and will be promoted by Live Nation.
"We are excited to welcome Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band to Nationals Park for what will no doubt be an unforgettable performance," Nationals Chief Operating Officer Andrew Feffer said. "There's nothing more American than baseball and rock 'n roll in the Nation's Capital, and bringing such an iconic show to Nationals Park is just an another example of our commitment to creating the ultimate fan experience."
The concert will be the third show held at Nationals Park, following Elton John and Billy Joel's sold-out show in July 2009 and the sold-out Dave Matthews Band concert featuring Zac Brown Band in July 2010.
Springsteen & the E Street Band are currently barnstorming across the United States, earning accolades for their stellar performances. Rolling Stone called the show "epic," while The New York Timesdescribed it as "explosive" and The Boston Globe wrote of the concert's "energy that bordered on superhuman." Bruce Springsteen's 'Wrecking Ball' (Columbia) was released last month and debuted at #1 in the U.S. and 14 other countries.

Reliance Has Longest Losing Streak Since 1997: Mumbai Mover
Rakteem KatakeyReliance Industries Ltd., operator of the world's biggest oil refining complex, declined for the ninth straight day, its longest losing streak since 1997, as profit from turning crude into fuels declined.
The shares dropped 1.3 percent to 772.90 rupees, the lowest since Nov. 22, compared with a 0.7 percent gain in the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex. The stock has fallen 10 percent since March 14.
"Refining profits are coming off their highs and that will affect Reliance," said Deven Choksey, managing director at Mumbai-based K.R. Choksey Shares & Securities Pvt., said by phone. "This is the one business that was helping the company post higher quarterly profits."
Lower refining earnings will add to falling natural gas production from the company's biggest field off India's east coast, hurting profit that rose for the first time in a year last quarter. The economic downturn in Europe, slower growth in China and new refining capacity will drive down margins globally, George Nicolaides, president of refining technology at Reliance, said earlier this month.
Diesel's premium to Dubai crude in Singapore, Asia's oil trading hub, has declined 30 percent to $15.32 a barrel today from this year's high of $21.96 a barrel on Feb. 25, according to data from PVM Oil Associates Ltd. in London.
The difference between Brent crude futures contract and Dubai oil has also declined 30 percent, according to the data. A wider difference benefits Reliance as they can buy cheaper grades to process into high-quality fuels at its refineries in the west Indian state of Gujarat.
Refining Income
Reliance, controlled by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, reported a better-than-estimated profit of 55 billion rupees ($1 billion) in the quarter ended Dec. 31. Refining accounted for 58 percent of operating income in the quarter, more than double from a year earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The company and partner BP Plc are struggling to reverse a more than two-year decline in gas output from the KG-D6 block. The companies are spending spending about $1 million a day to look for new reserves more than a mile below its biggest field, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said this month.
Reliance produced an average 28 million cubic meters of gas a day from the KG-D6 block in the nine months ended Dec. 31, 37 percent lower than a year earlier, according to a Jan. 18 report. The company started output in April 2009 and planned to raise it to a peak daily rate of 80 million cubic meters in a year.

Misery Unseen Since 2008 in Australia Challenges RBA: Economy
Michael HeathA deepening gloom across the largest developed economy to escape recession during the global financial crisis is shaping up as one of the toughest challenges yet for Reserve Bank of Australia chief Glenn Stevens.
Australia's misery index -- the sum of unemployment and inflation rates -- is at 9.0, the highest since 2008, when the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. froze credit markets around the world and triggered the deepest recession in the U.S. since the Great Depression.
While policy makers from the U.S. Federal Reserve to the European Central Bank are still pumping stimulus into their economies at least in part to address job-market slack, Australia's price pressures limit that option for the RBA. The upshot for the nation's businesses and consumers: little prospect of lower borrowing costs from Stevens, 56.
"The hurdle to cut further is high," said Su-Lin Ong, head of Australian economic and fixed-income strategy at Royal Bank of Canada in Sydney. "The RBA is likely to remain reluctant in the absence of an external driver, and the case to cut from an already historical low will need to be compelling."
Traders are pricing in about a 40 percent chance of the RBA cutting rates again by March, according to swaps data compiled by Bloomberg. The Australian dollar was little changed today, trading at 93.22 U.S. cents at 2:30 p.m. in Sydney.
The misery index is higher than when policy makers began their latest easing cycle that brought rates to a record-low 2.5 percent. It was 9 in June based on a jobless rate of 6 percent that month and second-quarter, year-on-year inflation of 3 percent.
Elevated Unemployment
Since those numbers were issued, the jobless rate has jumped to a 12-year high of 6.4 percent, which the central bank said Aug. 8 is unlikely to fall in a sustained way before 2016. Stevens will deliver testimony to a parliamentary panel Aug. 20.
Australian employers have been squeezed by a currency that averaged more than 90 U.S. cents for the past seven years, compared with about 70 U.S. cents in the 20 years prior. This has been exacerbated by a slowdown in mining investment that the government projected last week will result in the loss of more than 12,000 jobs in the next four years.
The jobless rate Down Under surpassed the U.S. level last month for the first time since 2007. The American misery index was 8.2 for June and for Britain it stood at 8.3.
Australia's central bank also lowered its growth and inflation forecasts for the year ahead, citing its expectation that mining investment will "decline much further" and budget cuts at the state and federal level. Prime Minister Tony Abbott's government is cutting jobs and spending and raising taxes to tackle a budget deficit estimated to have swollen to A$49.9 billion ($46.5 billion) in the year to June.
Goldman's Call
The economy's spare capacity has meant private-sector wages grew at the slowest pace on record in the second quarter, statistics bureau data showed last week, while the RBA has forecast inflation will cool from 3 percent last quarter assisted by the government's scrapping of a carbon tax.
"There is insufficient domestic demand growth to stabilize wage growth or the unemployment rate and together with fiscal policy changes this would feed through to weaker household income growth," Tim Toohey, Melbourne-based chief Australia economist for Goldman Sachs Group Inc., who forecasts a rate cut next month, said after the Aug. 13 wages data.
While Stevens has lauded Australian borrowers for using low rates to pay down mortgages faster than required, the nation's household debt is still at a 25-year high, and a government inquiry last month found housing to be a significant source of risk to the financial system. The average mortgage is at least four times annual household income in almost 80 percent of the country, research by Digital Finance Analytics shows.
Sitting Around
Firms are also sitting on their hands even amid the already low rates. Business investment has continued to decline from its mining-fueled peak in late 2012, the RBA said Aug. 8.
"My sense is that in a lot of areas of business, people are sitting around tables saying 'yeah somebody needs to do something and we're waiting for someone else to do it,'" Stevens said in response to a question after a July 22 speech. "But you know if we all wait for someone else to do it, no one does. So I guess my message is: 'over to you guys.'"
Business leaders indicated the governor may be waiting for some time.
"It's difficult from where we sit to see the spark where business lending comes back particularly quickly," Ian Narev, chief executive officer of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation's biggest lender, said in an Aug. 13 interview.
Challenging Market
Rowen Craigie, chief executive officer of Crown Resorts Ltd. in the southern city of Melbourne, the nation's biggest casino company, said consumers at "the lower end" were struggling.
"We're obviously in what is a challenging market in Melbourne," he said. The local economy "is subdued and does have some weakness in consumer confidence."
Stevens's confidence that Australia will manage the transition from resource investment to other sources of demand is premised on a housing construction boom to soak up spare labor from the mines. The RBA projected housing investment to "increase noticeably as a share of gross domestic product" in its Aug. 8 quarterly forecasts.
"Forward-looking indicators of dwelling investment, such as approvals, commencements and work yet to be done remain at high levels and will support growth of dwelling investment in coming quarters," it said.
The governor, in response to separate questions after the July 22 speech, brushed aside queries on whether record-low rates are having traction in the economy.
"Low interest rates are doing the sorts of things they normally do in most respects," Stevens said. "I'd still maintain up to this point that we're doing what can reasonably be done, but if there's more that can be reasonably done at some point then obviously we'd do that. But I'm content right now."

Pakistan's top court disqualifies PM |
By Nasir Jaffry ,AFP Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 12:27 am TWN |
ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan's top court disqualified Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani from office Tuesday in a stunning move throwing the country into fresh turmoil just months before expected general elections.
The Supreme Court made the move after convicting Gilani on April 26 of contempt in a highly politicized case for refusing to ask Switzerland to reopen a multimillion-dollar graft investigation into President Asif Ali Zardari. Although the ruling itself is unlikely to bring down the government, it could hasten the date of the next election unless the Pakistan People's Party and its fractious coalition members can agree on a consensus, interim prime minister. It causes fresh uncertainty in a country that is increasingly trying U.S. patience over al-Qaida-linked havens, struggling with a Taliban insurgency and heading deeper towards a financial crisis that could force it back to the IMF. "Yousuf Raza Gilani has become disqualified from being member of the parliament," said the order read by chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry. "He has also ceased to be the prime minister of Pakistan with effect from the same date (April 26) and office of the prime minister shall be deemed to be vacant accordingly," it said. "The president of Pakistan is required to take necessary steps under the constitution to ensure continuation of the democratic process through parliamentary system of government in the country," Chaudhry read. Zardari immediately convened emergency talks among top leaders in his main ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and then summoned heads of coalition parties to the presidency for further talks at 8 p.m. (1500 GMT), a government official said. Officials were tight-lipped on how the president would respond, saying only that the series of meetings was being called to "assess the situation." Gilani, Pakistan's first sitting prime minister to be convicted, has faced down widespread calls from the opposition to quit. He has insisted that only parliament can remove him from office. Members of his government have accused judges of over-stepping their reach and of trying to bring down Gilani and Zardari before February 2013, when the administration would become the first in Pakistan to complete a full five-year term. Under the constitution, anyone convicted of defaming or ridiculing the judiciary is barred from being an MP. The matter of disqualification fell first to the speaker of parliament, Fehmida Mirza, a member of the PPP who on May 24 said conviction for contempt was not a charge that meant he should be disqualified under the constitution. Gilani subsequently decided not to appeal against his conviction in a move interpreted as an effort not to antagonize the court into disqualifying him. But senior opposition politicians, including cricket legend Imran Khan and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, challenged the ruling. The allegations against Zardari date back to the 1990s, when he and his late wife, former premier Benazir Bhutto, are suspected of using Swiss banks to launder US$12 million allegedly paid in bribes by companies seeking customs inspection contracts. The Swiss shelved the cases in 2008 when Zardari became president. Gilani has always insisted Zardari has full immunity as head of state and last month said that writing to the Swiss would be a violation of the constitution. He was briefly — but symbolically — held in the courtroom for his sentence, which ended as soon as the judges arose for the day after announcing the verdict.

"State sovereignty is not just an end in itself: 'Rather, federalism secures to citizens the liberties that derive from the diffusion of sovereign power.'"
One thing I like about it, aside from the sound principle — that the constitutional structures of government were devised to protect the people — is that Justice O'Connor, in New York v. United States, was quoting a Justice Blackmun opinion that was a dissent from an opinion she wrote one year earlier. In that earlier case, Coleman v. Thompson, Blackmun had chided her for relying on federalism as if it existed for the sake of the states rather than for the people. It seemed as though Justice O'Connor felt a need to get on the right side of that principle.
In today's case, Bond, the Blackmun/O'Connor idea about federalism was used to explain why a criminal defendant had standing to challenge the constitutionality of the federal crime she was charged with (the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998). (Carol Anne Bond had put caustic chemicals on a doorknob, door handle, and mailbox likely to be touched by a woman who had gotten pregnant via Bond's husband.)
Bond made a federalism-based constitutional challenge, and the Court of Appeals said that she lacked standing because she wasn't asserting her own legal rights or interests — as required by standing doctrine. In this view, only the states have standing to raise the issue that Congress has exceeded its enumerated powers and made a crime in an area that is reserved to the states under the 10th Amendment.
Intuitively, you should sense that the Court of Appeals was wrong. Here's this woman, charged with a crime that is — if she's right about the scope of Congress's power — a nullity. She's supposed to endure conviction and punishment on the theory that only the state is allowed to say that Congress overstepped its power? That's crazy.
Do you see how eloquently the old Blackmun/O'Connor quote explained why it's crazy?
Because the limitations of federalism exist to protect citizens from the excesses of power, when Bond argues that there is a federalism limit on congressional power, she is asserting her own legal interests.

The obvious answer to which is that it's a problem the state is well within its ability to handle. You don't have to make a federal case out of it (pun, or whatever you might call it, intended.) - 6/16/11, 6:35 PM

It is an interesting opinion and a great quote. Ironic that Blackmun argued federalism with that dissenting opinion, and gutted it with his majority opinion on Roe .

Mrs. Bond seemed a tad upset. I am surprised she did not direct her wrath to Mr. Bond.

"... she is asserting her own legal interests."
In fact, any citizen who sued would be asserting their legal interests.
Everyone has standing!
Because laws PREVENT people from doing things that they PERCEIVE to be illegal even if they are unconstitutional, everyone has standing to sue even if they've not been charged with violating a particular crime.
Maybe they want to commit that act, but the law and its consequences are estopping them.
Of course, I don't expect my theory of the law to come into common acceptance for at least another 100 years.
Stupid fucking lawyers will take that long to finally agree with me.

Paul a'barge: "pretty cool ... unless you're the pregnant woman with the chemicals on her door knob"
Paul what you must realize is that the defendant in this case could have been charged with regular old attempted murder.
Paul Harvey: But now we hear ... the rest of the story..."
"Federal postal inspectors videotaped Bond stealing mail and putting poison in the muffler of Haynes's car. Bond was indicted for stealing mail and for violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993."
That's right ... Bond wasn't even being investigated by the police. She was being investigated by federal postal inspectors.
Wait .. what?
That's right ... post office cops. Newman on steroids. These people made a mistake. And they made a mistake because the mail never stops. It just keeps coming and coming and coming. There's never a letup. It's relentless. Every day it piles up more and more and more and you got to get it out but the more you get it out the more it comes and then the bar-code reader breaks and then ITS PUBLISHER'S CLEARINGHOUSE DAY.

As a Canadian, I didn't even see why there was an issue, but that's because until 1982, the only Canadian constitution was the BNA Act 1967 which didn't contain anything like a bill of rights, so when the Supreme Court of Canada went looking for reasons to strike down unjust laws, they tended to look to the federal division of powers - for instance, a provincial government law which discriminated against Mormons (or was it Quakers? Some odd sect) was unconstitutional because religious discrimination was part of criminal law and therefor was a federal area of responsibility.

Sounds like a jurisdictional squabble. The postal inspectors, feds, had a long, expensive investigation of someone tampering with the mail. They found evidence of a much more serious crime. Passing the slam-dunk evidence to state authorities wouldn't get them a win on their office's bureaucratic scorecard, so they tried to make a case for a federal crime.
Question for the lawyers: If the courts rule that she is not guilty of violating the CWCIA, does "double jeopardy" attach with respect to state charges for whatever it would be -- aggravated mischief, attempted assault, or whatever -- on the same facts? - 6/16/11, 7:37 PM

Blackmun versus the forks and plastic reindeer.
If I understand this quote correctly, it is Blackmun who assumes we've got diffused sovereign powers to protect the people.
Which is also imbedded in the 6th Amendment. Where our Founding Fathers showed that they didn't trust prosecutors. Didn't trust elected officials. And, didn't trust judges. That's why prosecutors can't really tell juries how to vote. (Though I just sat in a courtroom where I heard this tall tale told.)
Of course, I heard it in a California Courtroom. In Alhambra. And, then I heard how the 9th slapped California's supreme court silly. (For overlooking the 6th Amendment when it came to fair jury trials.)
Eventually, the court system gets it right.
But, so far? Sumi sits. And, Shirley Abrahamson has the power to throw hissy fits.
The pregnant woman got her sperm from this woman's husband. Everyone's lucky she just didn't dab the chemicals on her husband's cock.
And, if you're gonna try someone, and make a Federal case out of it, no less ... It's good that we have a court system. It moves slowly. But eventually it gets to affirm the governments and their federal cases can be a crock of shit. - 6/16/11, 7:43 PM
- Hagar said...
There has been a number of cases where alleged miscreants were acquitted in state courts, so the never give ups charged them again in Federal court under Federal statutes and claimed this was not double jeopardy because it was done in another judicial system (though still ours) and got away with it, which I assume would also be a valid presedence in the reverse direction as well. - 6/16/11, 7:53 PM
- Mickey said...
"Because the limitations of federalism exist to protect citizens..."
I thought you were going to say "exist prior," as in a priori. Don't know why. Maybe it was the italics.
Freedom exists prior to limitation, so any limitation of limitation would necessarily exist prior as well.
See, I can do this post grad thing. - 6/16/11, 8:19 PM

What's the matter with the easy to roll over Supremes? That old style Federalism has been a relic since April 12, 1865. The Executive/Commander-in-Chief over in the White House will decide all Federal/State issues as he has since his Army finally conquered the States that attacked his Army. Even the State National Guard Units are under his command since then. How many Armored Divisions can the Chief Justice Roberts put into the field anyway?
- Hagar said...
Federalism is not only a passive defensive works against tyranny; it is also actively the best way to govern a large and heterogeneous nation.
- windbag said...
Our founding fathers put forth the concept that there are three parties at work in the human experience: our Creator, we the people, and the government. The Creator granted rights to the people. They are the primary players. The government is the logistical mechanism to organize and execute the enjoyment of those rights.
Government needs to be subject to the people. Whatever layers of bureaucracy we set in place is beneath the people in the chain of command. Any citizen has a right to question any governmental agency that presumes to regulate the citizen's exercise of his Creator-given rights. - 6/16/11, 8:37 PM

But in reality, it is only a Congress willing to impeach a President (E.g., Andrew Johnson) that can stand up to an imperial Presidency. The SCOTUS is the cheer squad at the match those two play. Lesson: win big in the Congressional elections. The Radical GOP boys under the leadership of Thaddeus Stephens had a 12 year dominance of the Presidence since it was 12 years before the Confederate States' votes were admitted back in.

"Same facts?" The state won't be touching this one with a ten foot pole!
None of the postal "evidence" can come into the State's case. (There ya go. Why rouse double-jeopardy?)
IF the "pregnant woman" goes after anyone, now, she needs to go after Mr. Bond for support.
She didn't touch anything that got contaminated, so she didn't get injured. Which would have given her an ability to claim injury.
Pronto Tonto, there are no shortages of lawyers who take cases on contingency.
Going Postal is so dumb. But I didn't know it affected the agency!
I did know I once picked up a dime that was on the floor, when I was in the post office to send mail. And, the clerk behind the counter told me she wouldn't touch it?
Gee, I was puzzled. But she told me postal inspectors purposely dropped dollar bills on the floor, and if any worker picked it up they'd be fired! - 6/16/11, 9:18 PM

After all these years, I think it's been proven our Founding Fathers did something right. Because people no longer bring rope to the courthouses.
And, we fixed the damage accepting slavery wrought. And, slavery was a "gift" from the British.
Meanwhile, I wondered why was it so easy to get Africans onto ships ... where they were having their first experiences at "sailing away."
You know, there are Darwin Awards for those who lack the skills set.
I'm not hard on our Founding Fathers. They were at the forefront of leadership against monarchies.

Interesting that the DoJ confessed error in the court of appeals' ruling, but counsel was appointed to argue the abandoned position before the SCOTUS. (Cf. pending appeals regarding DOMA, which Obama's Justice Department is not defending either.)
I like this post, Prof. Althouse, and agree with you about the quotation's explanatory eloquence. I shall try to remember it. Thank you. - 6/16/11, 11:13 PM

Is it just me, or does this principle also argue against the constitutionality of Obamacare?

Sorry, but I have to disagree with Blackmun's statement. In the U.S.A., We the People are sovereign, we have hired some guys to do some dirty jobs for us, and have granted them an enumerated set of limited powers to enforce a set of rules. Rules that we agree to live by, and accept the consequences for rule-breaking.
The purpose of these dirty jobs are to secure for all of us some of our rights and liberties granted to us by God. Federalism partitions these powers to make it difficult for the dirty job holders to abuse them.
Liberties are not derived from sovereign power or its diffusion. Blackmun muddied the water with this statement.
Liberty is a grant from God, governments are granted enumerated powers to secure Liberty. Federalism is a means to make difficult the abuse of powers. There, FIFH.
Even simpler:
Rights and Liberties <-- God
Secure Rights and Liberties <-- Powers from We the People
Check Abuse of Powers <-- Allocate Powers Widely - 6/17/11, 3:34 AM

"State sovereignty is not just an end in itself: 'Rather, federalism secures to citizens the liberties that derive from the diffusion of sovereign power.'" [emphasis added]
"Because the limitations of federalism exist to protect citizens from the excesses of power"
Without State sovereignty, engaged in continuous struggle with federal expansion, individual rights become not innate (endowed from a Creator), but permitted by bureaucrats.
"Limits of federalism" do not exist without sovereign states. We need to return to indirect election of senators to focus the Senate upon what the States legislatures desire, and not upon what special interests purchase with perpetual election every six years of puppets. That arrangement will dissipate lobbying somewhat as well! - 6/17/11, 7:05 AM

Further vindication of the principle that States have not rights, but rather powers. Rights belong to the People, and their exercise is surrendered only to render power to the Sovereigns.

Welcome to the side of those who think Obamacare unconstitutional Ann. You cannot really argue the commerce clause gives the federal govt unlimited power now can you?
- Richard Dolan said...
Beldar: The opinion notes that the DoJ's confession of error was limited and still sought to preclude Bond from raising various constitutional arguments as to the statute's invalidity. The opinion rejected the DoJ's attempt to slice-and-dice the constitutional arguments using standing doctrine.
This case is fascinating for what it implies about the upcoming SCOTUS battle over ObamaCare. There has been lots of noise in the lower courts about whether the States have standing, whether individual plaintiffs have standing, etc. This opinion will be cited on all of those points, in support of the argument that both the plaintiff-states and individual plaintiffs have standing, on Tenth Amendment/federalism grounds, to contend that Congress lacked the power to adopt the individual mandate.
In Bond, the SCOTUS remanded the case to the Third Circuit to consider, in the first instance, whether the 'necessary and proper' clause can sustain the statute's constitutionality. That too is a central claim in the ObamaCare litigation. Bond may bring that issue back to the SCOTUS before Obamacare gets there.
It's nice that, in Bond, Justice Kennedy reached back to use Ann's favorite quote about federalism. Andit's a good quote. But the Bond case is worth paynig attention to for more immediately pressing reasons than that. - 6/17/11, 11:08 AM

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal
BOONEVILLE – More Northeast Mississippi residents have access to discount prescriptions at local pharmacies with Prentiss County signing onto a free prescription drug discount card program.
People may sign up and print out the cards online and begin using them immediately.
"Prentiss County is proud to be one of the counties nationwide participating with the National Association of Counties," said Mike Huddleston, president of the Prentiss Board of Supervisors. "The NACO prescription discount card offers significant savings for the uinsured and underinsured residents of our county. Best of all, there is no cost to county taxpayers to make these money-saving cards available to our residents."
In addition to signing up at www.caremark.com/naco to print out a card, cards will be available at all Prentiss County courthouse offices and can be used immediately at participating pharmacies, said Chancery Clerk David "Bubba" Pounds.
Prentiss County joins 25 other Mississippi counties that have signed up for the discount cards, six of them in north Mississippi: Calhoun, DeSoto, Lee, Tippah, Tishomingo and Union.
The discount card gives users access to about 60,000 pharmacies nationwide that offer the discounts that average about 22 percent off the retail price for prescribed drugs.
Anyone in the county may obtain a card, even those who have prescription coverage.
"They can use the card to save money on medications that are not covered by their health plan," Huddleston said.
Mississippians also may obtain another prescription discount card that is available to everyone living in the state.
The Mississippi Drug Card Plan was implemented in early 2008, and may give consumers savings of up to 75 percent on prescription medications at participating pharmacies.
The Web site to print out a discount card is www.mississippidrugcard.com. Chain pharmacies such as Fred's, Walgreens, Kmart, Walmart and thousands of independent local pharmacies accept the discount card.
Both online sites offer a search where the consumer can type in the name of the medication and find out what the usual retail price would be without the discount.
Both discount card programs also have extensive drug lists of thousands of medications, and offer discounts on generics as well as brand name drugs.

Ever since the White House announced plans to deploy more troops to Afghanistan, anti-war critics have emphatically dismissed the war as a bloody quagmire, a graveyard of empires, or a distraction from greater strategic threats now situated across the border in Pakistan. A summer of intense fighting is steadily raising the ferocity--and the stakes--of this debate.
Yet if the recent experience of the U.S. surge in Iraq is any indication, U.S. policies in Afghanistan will be determined by trends on the ground -- or at least the public's perception of these trends - more than by any grand strategic, ideological or historically-informed arguments.
Acutely sensitive to the fragility of the political coalition supporting its mission in Afghanistan, the White House has placed a bet that more troops, more money and an energized counterinsurgency strategy can turn the tide against the Taliban and set Kabul on a path to sustainable security and governance within the next 12 months. If successful, President Barack Obama's Afghan surge will yield the positive momentum necessary to justify a continued commitment in Kabul.
How then should Americans judge whether the Obama administration's bet is paying off? Smart observers should begin by avoiding three common pitfalls.

Graye Pelletier, MBA 2013, writes about Murat Yasa's visit to the Family Enterprise class last week. Mr. Yasa flew in from Istanbul, Turkey.
"Genius is 1% Inspiration, 99% perspiration," is a phrase that Murat Yasa chooses to live by. Having started a successful flavor company, Aromsa, in his native country of Turkey, Mr. Yasa explained to our class last Wednesday how hard work and passion can pay off. Celebrating 30 years of business this year, Aromsa is one of the leading companies in the world for creating and manufacturing unique flavors for food.
Murat started class by explaining just how hard he had to work to get where he is today. Having graduated from one of the top high schools in Istanbul, Murat had already learned two languages and earned his way through college by tutoring local students and working part-time. He explained a typical day in his early twenties involved being a student from 8am until 1pm, having a marketing job from 1pm until 6pm and tutoring from 6pm until midnight. He only had time for sleep. Nonetheless, Murat managed to graduate from college, serve his time in the military and become a general manager of a flavor company by the age of 28, all in the midst of a lingering economic crisis in Turkey.
Despite his success as a general manager, Murat knew he needed more out of his professional career, specifically freedom. He saw the need for a flavor producer in Turkey and knew he had the passion, determination and acumen to start his own venture. He was offered 223 sqft of space in a friend's factory and $7000 to bring his dream to life. Murat jumped at the opportunity and while he faced many hard challenges early on -such as no water or electricity, disgruntled neighbors and contamination issues, Murat forged ahead.
Another powerful quote appeared on his slides, "Never overlook luck and coincidence." Murat continued his story describing an early sunny July morning that proved to be a major turning point in Aromsa's triumphs. Murat's desk telephone rang at 7:00am one morning. A local owner of a chocolate and biscuit company was calling with a need for a new coconut flavor which no company had been able to fulfill previously. Murat responded quickly, getting a sample on the caller's desk that same day, satisfying the owner's request and it wasn't before long that Aromsa became the business's largest client. Needless to say, the successful interaction from that sunny morning continues to be quite important, as that client later purchased Godiva and is currently the 10th largest confectionery in the world. Notable is that this client still gets the majority of it's flavorings from Aromsa.
Apart from his business accomplishments, Murat's devotion to his family was a clear theme throughout his speech last Wednesday. Much of Murat's inspiration came from his father. Not long after building Aromsa, Murat's father came to help out with the business. And while the two admittedly butted heads on company endeavors, they learned to work together by dividing the work and playing to each other's strengths. Murat is also deeply devoted to his two daughters, one who already works with Aromsa and the other, a soon-to-be KFBS graduate, who expects to work with the business in the near future.
Murat's story is an amazing testament to his principles. He is not only a hard worker but he inspires his employees to do so by setting high standards and expectations. He believes in re-investing in the company and that is evident with Murat's dedication to choosing the right employees and keeping them committed. Aromsa's on-site fitness center and library are two examples of just how Murat invests in his employees. Finally, Murat's steadfast commitment to quality improvement is what keeps Aromsa churning; and after listening to his speech, it is clear Murat is resolute in keeping the business dynamic. When asked about the accomplishments of Aromsa, Murat responded, "Mt. Everest is the goal- so perfection has no limit."
It was a pleasure to meet Murat Yasa. He is truly an inspiring individual whose values will undoubtedly stay with Aromsa for many generations to come.

We use this AC unit in our nursery. Even before the current heat wave, this AC unit was having trouble with cooling the room. It is rated for at least 50-60 sq ft bigger than our tiny nursery.Right now running it continuously is helping to take the humidity out of the air, a help no doubt.At this point, I'm ready to just throw it away. I hope Abt will let us exchange it for a bigger unit.One of the biggest issues with this unit is that the blower is in a fixed position and the "adjustments" you can make are total joke. I was very disappointed at this implementation.

Comments about Frigidaire 5,000 BTU Window Mounted Mini Room Air Conditioner:
Nice small and light a/c unit that is a breeze to install. Quiet operation too. Only complaint is that there is no up/down adjustment of airflow, only left to right.
Good little unit
By Tom
This is a good little unit. It cools a 14x14 bedroom easily. The only drawbacks are: a little noisy, and no vent flap.
Works great in the bedroom

Reviews for Irish Mint Brownies
"I had the same problem as others with the filling. I made it twice and both times it broke."
"We substituted pecans for walnuts. The brownies are moist and chewy. A wonderful contrast to the mousse!"
"I'm trying to keep recipes that we (as a family) think are over the top. While this was okay, it wasn't "oh, Wow!". I don't know if we did something wrong. The brownies were not as chocolately as we thought they'd be, and we thought it would be better w/o nuts. Oh, and we couldn't find Irish Creme flavored creamer."
"This recipe did not work out for me at all. The brownies themselves are fine. The filling was a big problem. I ended up making it twice and it broke both times. I don't know if my kitchen was too hot. I just got a new mixer and it is much more powerful than my old one. Maybe, I mixed too long. Whatever the case, I just went ahead and made the glaze and stuck in the Andes mints like in the picture."
"making the middle filling took a alot longer then it said on the recipe....but the taste is well worth the wait!"
"While the taste of these is out of this world, it wasn't practical for the picnic I made them for. The cream filling oozes out of it because the chocolate topping and brownie bottom are so much harder than the center filling. I was able to adapt it into a trifle recipe for St. Patty's day, however, and am thrilled with that!"
