MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, MSNBC POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: That`s "the Ed Show."
I`m Michael Eric Dyson in for Ed Schultz. "Politics Nation" with Reverend
Al Sharpton starts right now.
Good evening, Rev.
REVEREND AL SHARPTON, MSNBC ANCHOR: Good evening, reverend Doctor Dyson.
Thanks to you for tuning in.
The family and lawyers for Michael Brown are speaking now about the tragic
shooting death this weekend. Let`s listen in.
BENJAMIN CRUMP, BROWN FAMILY ATTORNEY: Happening over and over again.
People are getting no sense of justice. And to the point where it`s just
boiling over. And we really have to have our leaders all of this step up
to the plate and restore confidence for all people in America. Not just
some Americans but all Americans. Need to have confidence that if it
happens, you will get equal justice. There are some people who don`t
believe it. That`s what we are dealing with here in St. Louis.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The question about was your son worried about the
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. Thank you.
SHARPTON: The family, the mother and grandfather and attorney Ben Crump
will be joining us exclusively any moment.
But let me go to you, Jim Cavanaugh, first that I can ask you, as one who
has seen a lot and Jim Cavanaugh for our regular listeners know, but for
new viewers is an MSNBC law enforcement analyst.
Jim Cavanaugh, tell us what you will feel is the next steps on this case.
What will happen in terms of the FBI investigating and in terms of how that
works with local authorities.
JIM CAVANAUGH, MSNBC LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Right, Reverend Al. Well, I
think what the FBI is going to do is they are going to parallel or monitor
the case as it is conducted by the St. Louis county police homicide bureau.
And you know, I have a lot of faith in that homicide bureau. They`re a
good force. They are going to get the facts down on paper to the
prosecutor. I think they will do it right.
SHARPTON: The distrust -- and I have been involved in a lot of these cases
down through the years. Involved in many now as head of national action
network. The mistrust of local authorities is basically because a lot of
the local prosecutors and local police kind of have to work hand in hand in
many cases. And families wonder whether or not a prosecutor is as
aggressive as the outside federal authorities would be. How have you been
able to experience hearing from the law enforcement side whether or not
that`s something that they understand, resent or something you even feel is
CAVANAUGH: Well, I think it`s a great point. I mean, I think in the civil
rights era, you know, I did a lot work in Alabama. I was the agent in
charge of Birmingham, even in Georgia, ETF in Mississippi and Tennessee.
You know, I started many years ago. I saw the aftermath of the civil
rights era. I remember when there was 5500 night riding clansmen in
Mississippi years ago. And I remember how they permeated the police and
how people were afraid they wouldn`t get justice.
And what we are seeing now, Reverend Al from Trayvon Martin on is people
are seeing no action. You know, they are not seeing any action in these
cases. Prosecutorial action or decision making.
You know, I was a Florida cop. In that Trayvon Martin case, as uniformed
officer, I would have bagged and tagged the shooter that night. In fact,
the detective wanted to arrest him that night. And I think you would have
seen a different response from people. And now we have cases in New York.
We have this tragedy here from Michael Brown. And you know, prosecutors
have to step up, too. That case in Bedford Stiveson, where an officer
stomps a man`s head as he was being arrested. If a citizen did that to a
man I was arresting, I would immediately arrest that citizen.
SHARPTON: And that`s the point. A lot of police don`t say anything. You
deal with that case in (INAUDIBLE). The cops didn`t stop the cop that
stomped him. And you have the Eric garner case. And none of police say
the choke hold is illegal and have mercy even while he was holding them.
Let me show you in this case, though, Jim. Here`s what one eyewitness said
about the shooting. Listen to this.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I want to know if the police chase after the guy full
force. He was unarmed. He ran for his life. They shot him and he fell.
He put his arms up to let them know he was compliant and that he was
unarmed. And they shot him twice more and he fell to ground like that.
SHARPTON: Now, this was Saturday, the killing of Michael Brown. 18-year-
old unarmed young man in Ferguson, Missouri. And they have been protesting
since then. Some turned violent last night. And we are talking about this
-- we are waiting to have an exclusive with the family, the mother,
grandfather and attorney Ben Crump will be joining us momentarily.
We are talking -- let me go back to you, James Cavanaugh. She said -- the
eyewitness said he put his arms up. He was compliant. Are witnesses
accounts like these now a major part of the investigation?
CAVANAUGH: Absolutely, Reverend. That`s a major part of the
investigation. All the witnesses and the forensics. The bullets, the
number of shots from where they were fired. All those details will get
into the facts in the homicide bureau and the FBI will look at it, the use
attorney and the district attorney and make a decision.
But Look, we have a name in the criminal justice system for shooting a man
standing there with no weapon in his hands up. And it`s called murder. So
you know, if those facts hold like the young woman said and if the
forensics match, I mean, that`s a crime. Murder is a crime in the United
States. It doesn`t matter who commits it. Whether it`s the police or not.
SHARPTON: How will the FBI proceed? What will they do? How will they go
about their investigation? You see people standing up. It seems that the
symbol now is holding up the hands which is really making the point you`re
making. If that holds as evidence that`s murder.
CAVANAUGH: Well, that`s right. Nobody is going to change the facts in the
case. The police homicide detectives and the FBI agents here would gather
the facts. Nobody is going to change the facts. As Churchill said, the
facts are stubborn things. And organizations like the NAACP, the national
action network, the southern Christian leadership conference and the people
of Ferguson are going to ensure that this is in daylight. So I have no
doubt that the fact wills come out. It will are get to the desk of a
prosecutor. I hope without unnecessary delay. I think the problem in all
these cases, Reverend Al, if you look back at them in the recent in spite
of cases is there is too much delay before there is a prosecutorial
decision on whether it is a good shoot, a bad shoot and whether the
prosecution should move forward.
People say there is no justice. And when you look at it, you feel like
there is no justice. So this is important to every American, every single
American. If a crime occurs we want the prosecutor to do something about
it. If the crime didn`t occur, then you need to step up and explain it.
And that`s what we need to see.
SHARPTON: And I think that is why many groups are forced to expedite a lot
of the situation that are necessary without saying go too far and too fast
where you don`t weigh the evidence because they want to see a prosecution
say whether there is valid or not. Whether it ends up good or bad, pro or
Time works against really trying to get to the bottom of what`s happened.
And saying to the public they can have confidence that things are happening
in a way that`s speedy and fair. And I think you said it well, James. And
I think that`s all people want. In many cases we have no idea what the
evidence is going to lead to. But we want to make sure that the evidence
leads to something that`s fair for both the accused and the victim.
CAVANAUGH: And you know, Trayvon Martin`s parents were a tremendous
example of that.
SHARPTON: No doubt.
CAVANAUGH: The dignity they exhibited all throughout the thing. All they
asked for is what every American wants -- justice, fairness. They didn`t
ask for any revenge. They want a fairness justice. They didn`t want
violence. They conducted themselves just like this family in Ferguson,
All right, all Americans need this. We all need to see justice done. So I
would say, Reverend Al, we need to have the facts gathered certainly. And
we don`t want to rush to judgment against our police officers because we
are all behind the police officers. And even the civil rights groups are
behind the police officers. We want to have good police. But we don`t
need bully police. We don`t need police murdering our citizens. And we
don`t need interactions with police that start over nothing.
You know, one report I saw in the news where the officer told the young man
to get off the, you know, in the cursed, get off the sidewalk and curse at
him. Well, that`s not a professional police interaction at all.
SHARPTON: That`s the kinds of things that we have to deal with. And
believe me, we will.
James Cavanaugh, thanks for your time. We`ll be right back with a live
interview with Michael Brown`s family. First interview that they are
doing. Stay with us.
SHARPTON: We`ll have more on the Michael Brown police shooting in Missouri
with the first live interview with his family right after this.
SHARPTON: We are back with breaking news from Ferguson, Missouri, where a
community is reeling and a family grieving after an unarmed 18-year-old
named Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer on Saturday
afternoon. Brown was walking on the street when investigators say an
altercation occurred with the officer. They say Brown pushed the officer
into his police car and there was a struggle for the officer`s gun. The
officer allegedly got out of the car and shot Michael about 35 feet from
the vehicle. Witnesses said his body was on the street for some time. The
officer who pulled the trigger hasn`t been publicly identified. He`s on
paid leave.
Here is what we are learning today. The FBI has officially opened an
investigation into the shooting. Looking, they say, for a potential civil
rights violation. Moments ago we heard from attorney general Eric Holder
who says attorneys from the justice department will work with FBI agents
and he`ll receive regular updates.
And after some protesters turned violent last night, Michael Brown`s family
is calling for justice and peace. That`s what we need right now. You
cannot be against alleged reckless violence and then use reckless violence
yourself. A family is grieving and a heart-broken mother is searching for
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE REPORTER: His mother Lesley McSpadden said her son was
a good kid looking forward to going to college next week.
LESLEY MCSPADDEN, VICTIM`S MOTHER: He didn`t bother nobody. My son just
turned 18 and granule waited high school. He didn`t bother nobody.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE REPORTER: McSpadden says her son didn`t deserve to
LESLEY MCSPADDEN: You are not God. You don`t decide when to take somebody
from hurt. That was mine. That belonged to me.
SHARPTON: Joining me now are Les Mcspadden, Michael Brown`s grandfather
Lesley, his mother, and the family`s attorney Benjamin Crump.
First of all, Lesley you have our condolences and how are you doing? I
know this is something that`s a nightmare -- Lesley?.
CRUMP: How you doing and how are you holding up?
SHARPTON: Something wrong with her audio.
LESLEY MCSPADDEN: I`m good. My son`s spirit is holding me up.
SHARPTON: I can hear her. Let me ask her what is it that she wants to say
to the nation. I heard her say that her son was to go to college today.
She wanted to see this as the day to beginning the rest of his life.
During her first interview, what is she wanting the nation to hear from
her? She`s called for nonviolence and peace but she`s also called for
justice. As his mother, what do you want to say to the nation?
CRUMP: What do you and Mr. Brown want to say to the nation who is watching
you about your son?
LESLEY MCSPADDEN: We want to say that my son was special. He was special.
He was a first for many, the first of a child. A first grandchild, first
nephew. He was basically born a king.
SHARPTON: Born a king.
LESLEY MCSPADDEN: We should all be celebrating my son`s graduation and
going on to college, but we`re planning a funeral.
SHARPTON: What does she want people around the country and what is she
calling on the community to do?
CRUMP: What are you calling on the people to do around the country after
what happened last night?
SHARPTON: And the community.
LESLEY MCSPADDEN: That was total chaos. And we are not for the violence
needs to stop. The support is all needed. All needed, but not the
violence. It doesn`t help any.
SHARPTON: Let me ask the grandfather, then I`m coming to attorney Crump.
Your message. I spoke with you and you seemed determined to have justice,
but to preserve the name and legacy and character of your grandson. What
do you have to say to people watching around the country as you grieve for
the loss of your grandson on the day he would have been going to jail --
going to college, I`m sorry. Not jail.
LES MCSPADDEN, VICTIM`S GRANDFATHER: Reverend Sharpton, my grandson was a
good kid. And you know, it`s a shame that these black kids here in St.
Louis and I`m sure around the world, they might as well walk around with a
target on their back because, you know, it just isn`t no justice. That`s
why I requested you and Mr. Valdez, too, to come to St. Louis and kind of
help us get through this because this shouldn`t happen. This is America.
SHARPTON: Well, I am going to come in there late tonight and see if we can
help to get a fair investigation.
But they tell me, Mr. McSpadden, he had his hands in the air. What is it
that you understand what happened to your grandson?
LES MCSPADDEN: I understand that my grandson was shot. I was under the
impression -- there are a lot of conflicting stories because the police
here won`t tell you nothing. But it`s my understanding that he was shot
eight times. And after he was shot twice, he went down to his knees and
held his hands up in the air. The officer continued go to his back and
continue shooting. That makes it an execution. And I mean, how could you
kill somebody and then get paid administrative leave? So if they`re paying
him, they are actually saying it`s OK to kill somebody and we`ll pay you.
SHARPTON: Mr. Attorney Crump, we have heard from the family for the first
time. They brought you in. What is it that you would like to see and I
know you have called for nonviolence. And I know you have called for the
justice department. The FBI is doing a preliminary investigation. What is
your message to the country?
CRUMP: Reverend al, this family especially Ms. Lesley McSpadden and his
father Michael Brown, Sr. They only want simple justice, Reverend Al. If
your child was executed in broad daylight and many witnesses say he had his
hands up and the police continued to shoot, they demand justice. And
that`s why people are so outraged because they say yet again how many times
do we have to go through this?
Attorney Anthony Gray, my co-counsel and Shaid (ph) and all of them talk
about the pattern that exists in St. Louis of young boys of color
continuing to be taken from us and nobody held accountable. Well, this is
where we will stand up for and say no more. And that`s why we are here
with this family.
SHARPTON: Now, what is your understanding, attorney Crump, that happened?
CRUMP: As far as we can tell, these parents and many others reject what
the police officer`s narrative is. That he tried to enter into a police
car. It doesn`t make sense. How many young brothers do you know try to go
in a car?
I think as the witnesses said, he was running away and the police that is
unexplainable gets out of the car even though he`s walking with t-shirt,
shorts and sandals on. Obviously no weapon. Ad they are running away and
he shoots them. And then as the witnesses recall, he put his hands up in
the air and the police continued to shoot and execute this child in broad
SHARPTON: Now he had on t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. So, it was
clearly visible to any trained law enforcement that he was not -- he didn`t
appear to be concealing any weapon.
CRUMP: Exactly. And that`s what attorney Gray and I are pushing forward.
Not only was it excessive force, clearly it was excessive force. But they
apparently lacked training because what officer would do this to a kid in
broad daylight. And his mother and father tell me that he left the scene,
left their baby child dead on the concrete at high noon and didn`t give him
the decency and the courtesy of getting emergency response or calling back-
up and those kinds of things. That`s troubling to these parents. And
that`s why they are so outraged today.
SHARPTON: What kind of support are you looking for around the country as
you try and keep people there nonviolent but at the same time moving
forward for justice, attorney Crump?
CRUMP: Well, first of all, as Ms. Lesley and Mr. Brown said, instead of
celebrating today, taking their son to a technical college they are having
to plan a funeral and they have to deal with the costs and expenses. And
then, we have to look at a second autopsy to try to get to justice because
they don`t trust and the local community don`t trust the local law
enforcement. And that`s a problem when our citizens don`t trust the police
to do right by us. That`s when people are frustrated. But even with that,
these parents and these families, all of them, are praying for calm. They
want not as you said, people just to be angry. We want justice for
SHARPTON: Let me ask you to ask her to tell us, as a mother, about her
son. I think people around the country should hear from the mother on what
type of boy this was.
LESLEY MCSPADDEN: As I stated before he was the first for many different
people. Aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas. My son -- my son just touched
many people. People flocked to him. He was special. He wanted to do
(INAUDIBLE) do his heating and cooling because he was good with his hands,
he is really good at taking things apart and putting it back together. He
could even fix your relationship if you had a problem with that. But
nothing, nothing, nobody could say could ever explain to me that he
provoked this, that he wanted this or asked for this. No, not my son. No
crime in walking down the street. No crime.
SHARPTON: He was called by a lot of people, I understand, Lesley, a gentle
LESLEY MCSPADDEN: That`s right.
SHARPTON: That kind of affection doesn`t match the description they are
trying to say that may maybe with these put it. That`s how you saw your
son as a gentle giant?
LESLEY MCSPADDEN: He was really big. Really bigger than me. Yes. A big
old teddy bear. A big old teddy bear. That`s why we called him mike-mike.
Oh, little mike-mike.
SHARPTON: Let me ask you, Mr. McSpadden, you and the family have called
for denounced the violence in the street and called for calm. Why is that
important to you as you are obviously grieving. You haven`t even finalized
funeral plans. And I want people to understand this mother is less than 48
hours after losing her son came forward today with you, the grandfather
basically to denounce the violence last night. What`s your message to
those that would protest and why is that important to you?
LES MCSPADDEN: It`s very important because people just walking around here
stealing, looting, burning their own community which don`t make sense to
nobody. Why would you burn your own community? Why do all that? All it
does is put a red flag on what we`re trying to do. You know, if his legacy
shouldn`t be about looting, stealing, kicking police cars. The thing to do
only way to get justice is for us to stay calm. And that`s the judicial
system work. After calm, we`ll get the right results and that way, his
death won`t be in vain.
SHARPTON: Let me say this. And I so was moved when you and I spoke by
phone yesterday, and talking to the mother. You`re exactly right. Those
that are saying whatever they are saying about the gentle giant who`s gone.
Want people to act in a violent way. They will be making people feel that
maybe it`s all Michael and them were. You don`t have the right to use your
anger and put your character on his legacy. And I think that anyone who
engages in violence is doing a detriment to Michael Brown, his mother, his
father, his family. And I think that`s what we should say. I have said to
you, the grandfather, I am saying that I am coming in since the grandfather
asked me to come in. But I don`t want people to desecrate his memory. We
must do what`s fair and right to have justice. We cannot do it by having
an injustice.
Attorney Crump, I think this is something all Americans -- I saw whites,
blacks, all kinds of people standing in that vigil peacefully. And I think
that`s what we need to do. And we need to support nationally, attorney
CRUMP: Absolutely, Reverend Sharpton. And we need everybody in America to
pray for peace. And we need the justice department to come in and make
sure this is a transparent affair investigation so everybody can trust the
SHARPTON: And I want to say again to the mother, nobody bear the pain like
a mother that we certainly around the country give you our condolences and
prayers. I will see you in the morning. But I admire your strength to
stand up for your son, his character, even though I know you bear an
unbearable pain to make sure his name is not muddied with those that would
loot rather than those that would lift up justice in his name.
Thank you for being with us tonight, Lesley, as well as Les and attorney
Ben Crump.
CRUMP: Thank you.
LES MCSPADDEN: Thank you.
SHARPTON: We`ll be right back.
SHARPTON: A short time ago President Obama spoke about the crisis in Iraq
on the airstrikes and on the ISIS threat. But Republicans are starting to
play politics with it. More on that next.
SHARPTON: Developing news tonight from Iraq where a political crisis is
now complicating the military and humanitarian crisis confronted by
President Obama. The current Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki is clinging to
power. Even though a new prime minister has been nominated. Maliki has
been blamed for helping to tear Iraq apart. And just moments ago,
President Obama made it clear he has to go.
PRES. BARACK OBAMA (D), UNITED STATES: The only lasting answer is for
Iraqis to come together and form an inclusive government. One that
represents legitimate interests of all Iraqis and one that can unify the
country`s fight against ISIL. Today, Iraq took a promising step forward in
this critical effort. The United States stands ready to support a
government that addresses the needs and grievances of all Iraqi people.
SHARPTON: Today we learned the U.S. has started arming Kurdish forces in
Northern Iraq to fight ISIS terrorists. U.S. war planes pounded ISIS
positions again today, trying to roll back the militant advance. The navy
released this video today of fighter pilots en route to missions around
Iraq. And this video shows U.S. forces dropping humanitarian aid to tens
of thousands of refugees.
President Obama has announced a limited mission to save those refugees, but
what the American people don`t want is to rush back into a full-fledged war
in Iraq.
Joining me now, Congressman Adam Smith, ranking member of the House Armed
Services Committee, and Evan Kohlmann, the NBC terrorism analyst. Thank
you for being here tonight.
EVAN KOHLMANN, NBC NEWS TERRORISM ANALYST: Thank you.
REP. ADAM SMITH (D-WA), HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE: Thank you, Al.
SHARPTON: Congressman, do you support the president`s actions so far and
his emphasis on long-term political solution in Iraq?
SMITH: I do. First of all, we have to try and contain ISIL. They are
clearly a very dangerous terrorist threat. They have taken territory in
Syria and Iraq. They pose a grave threat to the region. And they have
also announced plans to try to plot attacks and carry out attacks against
the United States and western targets. The problem is to contain terrorism
like that you need a reliable partner. And in Prime Minister Maliki we did
not have a reliable partner.
His sectarian corrupt approach to government is part of what drove so many
Sunnis into the arms of ISIL in the first place. So, the president is
absolutely right. We have to have a legitimate power sharing arrangement
in Baghdad. But in the meantime, with the Kurds we do have a group that we
can work with. We do have a reliable partner in Kurdistan.
SHARPTON: Right.
SMITH: I mean, anywhere we can find sensible moderate Sunnis we need to
try to work with them and defend them against a group like ISIL that`s such
a great threat to the region and to us.
SHARPTON: But Congressman, you sound very reasonable. The war hawks on
the right are actually attacking the president`s foreign policy. Look at
SMITH: Yes.
SHARPTON: Look at this.
SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), ARIZONA: The president says that he`s going to
protect American troops and try to prevent humanitarian disasters. That`s
the extent of his policy. There is no policy.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: And if we did attack, because he has no strategy to
protect us, then he will have committed a blunder for the ages. This
commander in chief has no strategy, he has no vision.
SHARPTON: I mean, Congressman, is this anything more than just name-
calling at this point?
SMITH: No. The sad thing about it is, you know, both John McCain, Lindsey
Graham, the republicans. All they do is attack the president. Look, this
is a very difficult problem no matter who is president. We need our
national security leadership in both parties to work together and figure
out a solution. And all we get from the republicans no matter what the
president does is a knee jerk attack. They blame him for everything that
goes wrong, they blame them for every decision he makes.
We need to develop and work out a coherent strategy. We are not going to
get there when partisanship trumps every single decision the president
makes. There are certainly criticisms to be made. But let`s develop a
policy. Let`s not just have this knee jerk reaction that no matter what he
does, let`s attack him. That`s not going to help advance the foreign
policy interests that we desperately need to advance at this point.
SHARPTON: Evan, I want to play a disturbing clip from Australian TV today
that shows the horrific tactics used by ISIS. Watch this.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: There is outrage this morning over a photo of a Sydney
boy posing with the head of a slain soldier in Syria. The Australian
newspaper says, the photo was posted on twitter with the words "that`s my
boy" by Australian jihadist Khalid Shareef who is wanted by federal police
for terrorism crimes. Now, Shareef also posed in front of the Islamic
State flag with his three sons, all of whom are carrying guns.
SHARPTON: Now, among the tactics that ISIS has been using, his beheadings,
crucifixions, burying people alive, mass executions. I mean, what does
ISIS hope to achieve with these kinds of tactics, Evan?
KOHLMANN: They really think that they`re going to establish a new
caliphate. And the leader of this organization Abu Bakr al Bagdadi at one
point was a nobody really thinks that he`s going to run the Islamic world.
And in some way if that plays towards our advantage because of the fact
that these folks are even more extreme than al Qaeda. They are
megalomaniacs. All they want is power. And what ends up happening with
these guys is that they end up torturing and killing the wrong people.
And we`re seeing that already in Northern Iraq and in Syria. Where these
groups are not only killing ordinary Muslims, they`re also killing al Qaeda
operatives. That kind of behavior is inevitably going to result in their
destruction. The problem is when is that going to happen? How soon is it
going to happen?
SHARPTON: So, there could be a backlash, Evan?
KOHLMANN: There already is a backlash. We are already seeing right now.
Sunni insurgent groups that initially had fought alongside ISIS helped them
takeover Mosul, they`re coming out now and saying, look, just because we
fought alongside ISIS, that`s because we don`t like the government in
Baghdad, we don`t like the government of Nouri al-Maliki. Don`t take that
to assume. We`ve joined ISIS. And what`s key now is to convince those
Sunni insurgents group to back off in terms of their working with ISIS.
And what we`re already seeing now, people are dying in terms of fighting
between the Sunni insurgent groups and ISIS. We need to make sure that
continues and we need to make sure that these groups start backing ISIS.
That they turn against them and they work with the government in Baghdad.
And of course, that`s not going to happen until Nouri al Maliki is out of
SHARPTON: Congressman, President Obama spoke to Thomas Friedman of the New
York Times over the weekend. And he said that if we left troops in Iraq it
would not have made a difference really is what he said to what is going on
now. Listen to this.
OBAMA: If they had done exactly what they did and we have had 10,000
troops there, that would not have presented the kinds of problems that we
have seen anyway. The difference would be, we would have 10,000 troops in
the middle of this chaos.
SHARPTON: Congressman, let me ask you. Do you think that staying in Iraq
for years or even decades was a valid solution?
SMITH: I do not. I mean, the president is absolutely right. The reason
for this, and Evan is absolutely right as well. The Maliki government
pushed out the Sunnis and pushed them into the arms of the most radical
terrorist group out there. Because as he said, the enemy of the enemy is
my friend. Those who are willing to take on al-Maliki they were willing to
support. And no amount of U.S. troops was going to change his internal
I mean, even while we had well over 100,000 U.S. troops there, brutal
sectarian violence took place in Iraq when the Sunnis and Shias were going
at each other. Those troops couldn`t stop that level of violence.
SHARPTON: Yes.
SMITH: Even in those numbers. Look, this has got to be solved by the
Maliki government. But the other thing we do have to do is where we can
find Sunni moderates who were willing to stand up to ISIL. We need to work
with them. And Iraq and Syria --
SHARPTON: I have to leave it there, congressman. Thank you so much,
Congressman Adam Smith. Evan Kohlmann, thank you both for being here this
SMITH: Thank you.
KOHLMANN: Thank you.
SHARPTON: Coming up, we know the GOP`s new agenda. But I think they
forgot to tell Ted Cruz about it. And later, how social media is
transforming the fight for justice.
SHARPTON: Election Day is still 85 days away. But republicans are already
measuring the drapes in the senate. And they are trotting out their big
agenda of what they will do when they control both houses of Congress. The
Keystone Pipeline, repealing ObamaCare and a balanced budget which would
involve gutting the safety net, missing from that official list,
impeachment. Even though a republican Senate could clear the way for it.
Senator Ted Cruz says, quote, "It is clear with the Harry Reid Senate,
impeachment of the president is not going anywhere." Well, what about with
the Ted Cruz Senate? What then? GOP leaders may try to downplay all this.
But it`s clear the base still wants it. Check out what happened at the GOP
Senate debate in Alaska last week.
JOE MILLER, ATTORNEY: I think we all agree that Obama is out of control.
He acts as almost a dictator in some sense.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: What would it take for you to support the impeachment of
this president is this.
DAN SULLIVAN, ALASKA ATTORNEY GENERAL: I agree 110 percent that this
administration is out of control. If articles of impeachment come before a
U.S. Senate, you`re darn right, I`m going to focus on it. But I think the
vast majority where Alaskans and Americans are is to jump start this
SHARPTON: GOP candidates are campaigning on impeachment. And party
leaders can`t pretend otherwise.
Joining me now, former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and Salon.com`s
Joan Walsh. Thank you both for being here.
JOAN WALSH, SALON.COM: Thanks, Rev.
SHARPTON: Governor, isn`t impeachment a big part of these midterms in the
FMR. GOV. ED RENDELL (D), PENNSYLVANIA: Well, there is no question. It`s
been a part of the primary season. The primary season in many states isn`t
over yet. And the more it`s talked about in the primary season, the more I
believe they might be a force to forget about measuring the drapes.
Because the American people do not think the president has done anything
that warrants impeachment. They think it is a crazy idea. And they think
a party that`s promulgating that idea shouldn`t be in office. And I was
down in Louisiana, gave the speech to the Jefferson Jackson dinner on
Saturday. And Mary Landrieu, who starts to be in trouble, if Mary gets
support from democrats all across the country it counter balanced the
incredible amount of money being spent against her. I think she`s going to
win big for the election.
SHARPTON: You know, Joan, he mentioned that the president hasn`t done
anything impeachable. So, help me out here. FOX News host Mike Huckabee
this weekend was asked about impeachment. And I want you to listen to his
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Let me be very clear. I never said he should be
impeached. I was asked a specific question. Had he committed impeachable
offenses? I said yes. But he`s not going to be impeached but he shouldn`t
SHARPTON: So, that`s why I need help. He`s done impeachable acts
according to Huckabee.
WALSH: Right.
SHARPTON: But he shouldn`t be impeach?
WALSH: This is crazy. Well, they do understand it. What they are doing
is rallying up their base to a point where, you know, if I`m a Tea Party
person, I`m saying if this man committed impeachable offenses which he
hasn`t, then why aren`t you impeaching him? And they are inflaming the
people that they say, you know, in one breath they need to control but say
they are trying to control and they are inflaming people that are going to
make it impossible for them to do any governing at all, when they, if God
forbid, they took over the Senate which I`m with Governor Rendell. I don`t
think that`s going to happen but Democrats have to get out and vote. I
really believe, Reverend Al that the minute they come up against one
another trying to balance a budget, they would fall apart. It would be
internal warfare.
SHARPTON: But isn`t that the point Governor, if they had to come up with
balancing a budget? Like for example, one GOP Senate candidate said that
the GOP has to make a case that the GOP is struggling with their lack of an
agenda. He said specifically on health care, quote, "Republicans have to
answer to the when you repeal it, what are you replacing it with question."
RENDELL: Right.
SHARPTON: We owe the American people a solution to the problem. He really
has a point, Governor. The Republican Party hasn`t offered an alternative.
Americans tired of the empty attempts to repeal but don`t replace?
RENDELL: Yes. I think the more they talk about repeal, the more again it
drives the independent voter into the democratic column. Look, the problem
with what they are talking about is they don`t have a health care solution.
And to cut $5 trillion out of the budget in the next ten years to balance
it, it means you will have to rip Medicare asunder.
WALSH: Absolutely.
RENDELL: Now, do any republicans want to run on a platform of ripping
Medicare asunder? Do they want that to be the party`s motivation moving
into the 2016 election? If they do, they are facing an electoral tsunami.
SHARPTON: Let me ask you this, Joan. Another favorite talking point, but
empty talking point from the right is the president`s vacation. Listen to
RUSH LIMBAUGH, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: Nothing is easy for the poor.
Working hard, they tries as hard. He`s really on the golf course a lot,
doing everything he can. And all these events are conspiring against him.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: He could be doing fund-raisers while in Martha`s
Vineyard if needed for that. So, that`s probably off the table.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: You would think.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: He could be playing golf, but he`s probably going to
be playing golf already.
SHARPTON: But look at this. So far in his presidency, President Obama has
taken 125 days of vacation. At the same point in his presidency, President
George W. Bush had taken 407 days. Where was the outrage then? The GOP
agenda is a vacuum. And this is all they`ve got.
WALSH: This is all they`ve got. And that chart is just so wonderful. But
you will never see it on Fox News. If you see it, they will find some way
to make it look like the president took more vacation. They are so
fundamentally dishonest. They can`t get out of their own way.
SHARPTON: Well, we can have different opinions, we just cannot have
different facts.
Governor Ed Rendell, Joan Walsh, thank you both for your time tonight.
WALSH: Thanks, Rev.
RENDELL: That`s right.
SHARPTON: Still ahead, my parting thoughts on the Michael Brown tragedy.
Stay with us.
SHARPTON: More on the Michael Brown tragedy. How cell phones and social
media are changing the fight for justice. Stay with us.
SHARPTON: Over the last couple of weeks we have seen an ugly pattern. In
New York City, Eric Garner placed in a fatal chokehold from a police
officer. In Los Angeles, a woman was pummeled on the side of a highway by
a police officer. Now in St. Louis, an unarmed teen shot dead, his body
lay motionless in the street. The key word in this pattern is seemed. The
difference between then and now is we are seeing it. We are seeing cell
phone and dash cam video. And photos. The technology is there.
And then it gets shared on social media and goes viral. Twenty three years
ago when the Rodney King beating was caught on tape it was shocking. And
it set up a national dialogue on policing in America. Today these scenes
are easier to capture. And we must capture them and we must make the
country deal with those that go over the line in law enforcement. I don`t
believe all the policemen are there. I don`t even believe the majority are
but those that are, we just must weed out. Just like those in our
communities at a bad, we must weed out.
Michael was to go to school today. Not jail. I said to his mother he was
going the to jail. I mean school. Because that`s what we`ve got to erase
from the minds of many in law enforcement. Every child is not a suspect.
They are a citizen. They deserve the same rights unless they do wrong.
But you can`t correct their wrong by doing wrong yourself. And we can`t
fight reckless violence by being reckless and violent ourselves. We must
become the change we seek as Gandhi challenged us.
Thanks for watching. I`m Al Sharpton. "HARDBALL" starts right now.

Change is something that happens to everyone of us. What are the causes and effects of change?
Task 1: We have just finished studying Population. When a population grows there are lots of effects. The effects are both short term and long term.
Q. What has changed? A. The Population has increased.
Q. What are the short and long term effects of this? With a partner, create a chain of effects starting with Population Growth. Here is an example. Yours does not have to be a circle but it could be if you want:
Task 2: Population growth forces countries and societies to change. Can you think of any other things that force a country or a society to change?
Task 3: Watch the video 'How the Potato Changed the World'
And some articles to read about potatoes…
Task 4– Discuss the causes and consequences of changes shown in the video. What was the main driver of change and what accelerated the changes?
Task 5: Make a chain of effects for the potato.
Task 6 – In pairs read through the document about war and change below and answer the questions in the activities sheet.
In what ways other than medicine can wars cause change?
Task 7 – Read this article from the BBC about how British ideas about Americans changed during the Second World War. Answer these questions:
How did most British people tend to view Americans before the war?
What led them to have this view?
How did Britain's view of Americans change during the Second World War?
What were the causes of this change?
Task 8 – Find some examples of technological developments that came about as a result of the First World War. For all of these: What is it about war that caused these changes? Would these changes have taken place without a war?

The Sensex and the Nifty are trading at record high levels and Nifty touched a milestone of 10,000 on the 25th of July. The Sensex and Nifty are trading at a trailing price to earnings ratio of 23.49 and 25.45 respectively. The benchmark indices are trading at expensive valuations but there are some factors which cannot be ignored even at levels like these. A common question asked in a scenario like this is whether it is the right time to invest in the market. Also if it gets more stock specific then we come across questions such as should we buy a specific stock at the current market price or is it better to wait for a correction.
The Sensex and the Nifty valuations are a result of the demand for stocks driven by factors such as liquidity, fundamentals and sentiments. The valuations therefore can become expensive if there is more amount of money chasing very few stocks and in that process other stocks also get bought by investors even though their fundamentals may or may not deserve the rise.
In an emerging economy like India growth in most of the industries and sectors is but obvious as there is tremendous scope to grow. This can be understood from the fact that the Gross Domestic Product which is the value of all goods and services produced in the economy is at USD 2.264 trillion for India as compared to the figure of 18.57 trillion for the USA. So when we know that the economy is growing at a certain pace and growth is bound to happen it becomes very easy to understand the fact that it is very difficult to sell stocks and very easy to buy them.
The point we are trying to understand here is that on an average most of the stocks would continue to rise in the next one, two, three, four, five years and so on unless there is a big recession and everything starts to decline. There can be exceptions to this case if a particular industry is facing headwinds due to intense competition from peers such as Telecom where earnings may degrow for some and grow for the competitive ones. But for most of the industries in an economy like India growth is very obvious.
Take for example the stock of Avenue Supermarts (This is not a recommendation for Buy) which trades at a level of Rs.920 and at a price to earnings ratio of 120. The stock has given a return of 206% since its IPO price of Rs.299. It is true that at such high valuations anyone would be afraid to buy this stock but the risk of not buying at such a price and waiting for it to correct may end up in the stock going beyond Rs.1000 or Rs.2000 levels in the near future due to aggressive growth and stellar financial performance.
The investor may be required to wait for some years to achieve meaningful appreciation in the stock price (when bought at expensive valuations) or even would be required to average down at lower levels if it corrects but waiting for prices to correct and letting go the opportunity of participating in the growth story of that company may be a bigger risk in comparison. Also if at all the stock corrects from expensive levels then there is still a higher probability that it would rise further in the time to come as fundamentals remain intact. A question such as whether a stock is good to buy or not even at expensive valuations should be decided in totality rather than just looking at the price or at the price to earnings ratio or at a specific valuation ratio.
Liquidity is a factor that would chase many number of stocks in a bull run despite poor or average fundamentals but if there is no other company better than say Avenue Supermart in that sector then valuations would be driven to higher levels as it becomes unique to hold this kind of a stock for investors.
The investor here needs to understand that liquidity has driven up the price of the stock but because of a valid reason.
Investors need to be very stock specific for buying at such a kind of market level because there will be stocks that do not correct much even if there is a sharper correction in other stocks only due to the underlying fundamental story about it. Identifying such kind of stocks is what would differentiate between ordinary returns and extraordinary gains. Learn to identify these stocks.

6 Stocks for Just Rs 9999* /-
Top Six Stocks are handpicked by our research team based on the sectors that lead India 2019.
The six sectors that will lead India into 2019.
The 7th Pay Commission, higher rural income on government's budget 2017-18 thrust on the rural economy are expected to prop up demand for Automobiles. The tax cut of 5% for individuals having income in the range of Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh would directly increase the buying power of middle class consumers. This move is expected to give additional thrust to buy automobiles in the rural as well as the urban areas.
Retail industry in India is expected to grow USD 1.3 trillion by 2020, registering a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.7% over 2015-20. The country is among the highest in the world in terms of per capita retail store availability. India's retail sector is experiencing exponential growth, with retail development taking place not just in major cities and metros, but also in Tier-II and Tier-III cities. Healthy economic growth, changing demographic profile, increasing disposable incomes, urbanization, changing consumer tastes and preferences are the other factors driving growth in the organized retail market in India.
Consumer Durables
The 7th Pay Commission, higher rural income on government's budget 2017-18 thrust on the rural economy are expected to prop up demand for Consumer Durables. The tax cut of 5% for individuals having income in the range of Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh would directly increase the buying power of middle class consumers. This move is expected to give additional thrust to buy Consumer Durables in the rural as well as the urban areas.
India's civil aviation industry is on a high-growth trajectory and aims to become the third-largest aviation market by 2020 and the largest by 2030. India is the ninth-largest civil aviation market in the world, with a market size of around USD 16 billion. India is expected to become the third largest aviation market by 2020. In FY16, the Indian domestic aviation market grew at 21.6%. The growth is attributed to the large and growing middle-class population, rapid economic growth, increased spending and low aircraft penetration levels in the country. India has only 150 million passenger trips a year as compared to China's 450 million and the US' 800 million. According to the latest data from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), passenger traffic during January-November 2016 zoomed by 23.10% to 90.36 million.
The allocation for Roads and highways has increased to Rs.649 billion for FY 2017-18 from the earlier FY 2016-17 allocation of Rs.524.47 billion.The increase in allocation for the infrastructure sector would mean that companies in the public private partnership space would receive more orders from the Government. Companies that build roads and highways would be big beneficiaries as increase in their order book would eventually translate into higher revenues and profitability for them.
Telecom Infrastructure
Mobile internet penetration is at 35% and smart phone user's penetration is at 29% in India and it is estimated to reach 60% by the end of 2019. With increase in number of smart phones, data consumption will lead to higher demand for optic fibres across India. Indian telecom industry has seen incredible growth in terms of expansion of 3G network capacity and rollout of 4G/LTE. Tower capacity in India is around 350000 – 400000 units out of which 10% of them are fiberized. It is expected fiberization will increase to a level of 60% – 70% of total towers as telecom players are likely to set up infrastructure and develop technology in line with Rjio's digital set up. Next technological upgrade in telecom industry would be 5G internet services, to enable this services 100% fiberization is required and they are likely to get started by 2020 in India.

Chain reaction is the 3rd book in Perfect Chemistry series. First book – Perfect Chemistry was enchanting, but then the author tried to bring the same love story again and failed in other two books. I would not say it was total failure because it got really good ratings on Goodreads but then it does not have the same charm as the first one. Unfortunately same concept didn't work well again,with out charm, Bummer.
Nikki Cruz once cheated by a boy, lives with certain rules in her life. Don't trust a boy who says I love you and never date a boy from the south side of Fairfield because they all end up in gang, brotherhood before girlfriend. But when she meets Luis at his brother Alex's wedding she finds herself attracted to him. Luis is just like how his brothers were, ready to fight danger. But Brotherhood is planning something against his family and soon he will have to join the group to stop them from hurting them. Will Nikki fall in love with someone who wants to join the gang? What is this big plan which will soon change everything in Fuentes brothers lives.
I am impressed how author can still write a book with same concept, rich girl falling for poor bad boy. I hear there is 4th book coming soon. I don't know what will be the story, now that all Fuentes brothers are done falling in love. My rating: 3 out of 5. I wanted to give 2.5 but then I am a sucker for love stories, so ended up rating it 3.

Forthcoming in Penn State Journal of Law & International Affairs.
Most literature on criminal deterrence in law, economics, and criminology assumes that people who are caught for a crime will be punished. The literature focuses on how the size of sanctions and probability of being caught affect criminal behavior. However, in many countries entire groups of people are "above the law" in the sense that they are able to evade punishment even if caught violating the law. In this paper we argue that both the perceived probability of being punished if caught and the cultural acceptance of elites evading punishment are important parts of theorizing about deterrence, particularly about corruption among political elites. Looking at data on parking violations among diplomats in New York City 1997–2002, we explore how diplomats from different rule-of-law cultures respond to sudden legal immunity. The empirical observations provide clear evidence of both the stickiness and the gradual weakening of cultural constraints.

A rock has shattered a window on the Australian cricket team's bus after their T20 victory over India in Guwahati.
No one was injured in the incident which happened as the team was returning to their hotel from the Barsapara Stadium on Wednesday morning AEST.
The rock left a large hole in a window towards the back of the bus. The seat next to the window was unoccupied at the time.
Australia opener Aaron Finch tweeted a picture of the broken window.
Pretty scary having a rock thrown through the team bus window on the way back to the hotel!! pic.twitter.com/LBBrksaDXI
— Aaron Finch (@AaronFinch5) October 10, 2017
"Pretty scary having a rock thrown through the team bus window on the way back to the hotel!!" Finch said.
It's the first international match to be played in the north-eastern city of Guwahati for eight years.
It comes a month after a similar incident in Bangladesh where a rock broke a window, prompting security to be beefed up.
Authorities believed local children were behind the Bangladesh rock-throwing.

st: encountering problem with esttab while attempting to get summary statistics into latex
Tue, 21 Jun 2011 09:14:18 +0100
I want to compare characteristics of plots on which a certain
technology (Happy Seeder in my case) was used with all other plots in
my sample. I want to then take these summary statistics to latex.
To do this, I run the following commands in stata.
bysort Happy_Seeder: gen total = _N
label var total "Observations"
estpost tabstat yield_per_hec cost_per_hec revenue plotsize_hec age
education Watch Contact_with_Extension Rmag total, by(Happy_Seeder)
listwise s(mean sd) columns(statistics)
On running this I get a table in Stata displaying the summary statistics.
I next run the command
esttab using happyseeder_vs_others.tex,main(mean) aux(sd) nostar
nodepvar unstack nomtitle nonumber noobs addnotes("Note: Includes all
Happy Seeder users and all other users." "Mean of each variable with
standard deviation in parentheses.") label title("Summary of plots
sown with Happy Seeder and other plots \label{Happy Seeder}") replace
I now get a error saying that "current estimation results do not have
e(b) and e(V)".
When I type ereturn list, I obtain the following,
e(N) = 159
e(cmd) : "estpost"
e(subcmd) : "tabstat"
e(stats) : "mean sd"
e(vars) : "yield_per_hec cost_per_hec revenue
plotsize_hec age education Watch Contact_with_Extension Rmag total"
e(byvar) : "Happy_Seeder"
e(mean) : 1 x 30
e(sd) : 1 x 30
So I think the means and the standard deviations have been stored but
I am not getting the output in tex. How can I get the output in the
tex format?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best Wishes,

Ex-Head of Quest Center Enters Race for Chicago Union President
Deborah Walsh, who until recently held a high-profile job at the Chicago Teachers Union, has decided to step back into the spotlight. Last week, she announced her plans to challenge the union's president in next spring's elections.
Ms. Walsh, who now teaches learning-disabled children at Marquette Elementary School on the southwest side of Chicago, said she is running against Thomas H. Reece "because there is really no choice."
Mr. Reece and the union leaders on his team, she asserted, have failed to protect the union's 31,000 members from assaults on their contract and have declined to embrace a more professional role for teachers.
"What the current leadership is doing is perpetuating the stereotype that the union is part of the problem--that it's against everything and for nothing," she said in an interview last week. "They see fixing the schools as management's job, not the union's job."
Jackie Gallagher, a spokeswoman for the union, declined to respond to Ms. Walsh's criticisms. Mr. Reece and his slate likely will not announce their candidacies until January, she said. The election is set for May.
"It's a healthy thing to have contests for the leadership," Ms. Gallagher said. "It keeps everyone on their toes. We're assuming this will be a campaign that discusses the issues straight ahead."
Volatile Period
Ms. Walsh's announcement is noteworthy, observers said, because she enjoys a solid reputation in Chicago for her work with schools as the director of the union's Quest Center. Created in 1992, the center has set out to be a catalyst for education reform in the city.
Ms. Walsh resigned from the Quest Center this fall to return to teaching.
Her announcement comes at a volatile time for the teachers' union. Jacqueline B. Vaughn, one of the most combative and effective presidents in its history, died last year. Later that year, John Kotsakis, Ms. Vaughn's adviser on education issues and a prime mover behind the Quest Center, also died.
Mr. Reece was Ms. Vaughn's handpicked successor.
George E. Olson, the dean of the education college at Roosevelt University in Chicago, called Ms. Walsh a "progressive challenger" to Mr. Reece, who he said hails from the "old school" of unionism.
The CTU "has all this history and tradition," Mr. Olson said. "Even if it wants to change itself, it's got a tremendous uphill climb."
The union also has been battered by the Illinois legislature, which last spring stripped the union contract of many provisions once considered sacred, including limits on class size. The same legislation turned over control of the school system to Mayor Richard M. Daley, who has appointed top city officials to overhaul the management of the schools. (See Education Week, July 12, 1995.)
Under the union's election procedures, Ms. Walsh must assemble a slate of candidates to run for a two-year term.

How to make a squishy stress ball
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
Squishy stress balls are a great way to relieve tension and build muscle in your hands and forearms. Sit it on your desk at work, or keep next to your nightstand to just pick up and squeeze to help relieve some stress.
You can buy squishy stress balls at several stores; however, it is simple and cheap to make one right at home. Homemade squishy stress balls even make great gifts.
Sift about 1 1/2 cups of play sand through a fine sieve and into a bowl.
Place the tip of a funnel into a water balloon. Pour the sand through the funnel and into the water balloon.
Tie the tip of the balloon into a knot to secure it. Add ribbon, draw on the balloon with a marker or decorate it however you would like to personalise your squishy stress ball.

Free Calls from Gmail for U.S. Service Members
|Date Added: September 09, 2011 05:30:34 AM
|Author: Anonymous
|Category: Blogs: Internet
|Google over the last year has been working over-board for getting a personalized webspace. A space where the internet is different for different people. And as of today Google has added another step ahead to that mission. On 30th of August, Google introduced the free calling from Gmail for all uniformed military personnel with a valid United States Military email id. To start this service all US Military Personnel will have to get to the Google Accounts Page. Then click on "Edit" next to "Email Addresses". Add your ".mil" email in the "Add an additional email address" field. Click Save. You will receive a verification email in your inbox with a link. Click on the link and verify the mail id. On the chat roster there will be a dialpad to make calls. Even the families and friends of all U.S Personnel will be able to call at $0.2/minute. With all these changes Google are slowly inching towards that complete solidarity of search and the internet. As Ilya Frank was quoted in Mashable, "We recognize and appreciate the sacrifices U.S. troops make when they serve abroad, and we're proud to help make it a little bit easier for them to stay connected and hear a familiar voice". Google has already rolled out a full fledged calling service right from Gmail chat for USA and Canada users.

It's midweek alreaddyyyy, yay! Two more days and it's....another work weekend. Sniff. Anyhoo, I just want to show you my latest loot from Forever 21. I haven't been shopping for clothes lately since I still want to lose some pounds first. So whenever I drop by the store, I don't go beyond their accessories section.
I know, I'm way too old for this kind of necklace! But I don't care...besides, I sometimes think and act like a teenager! And it's cute.
I think I want my name on a pendant too!
I think this one's for pa-cute moments.
And this one, I really love:
I think I'm over my "cross pendant" -phase. Now I want hearts! (And not just because it's the love month ha). I want a heart locket pendant in real gold. But just thinking about how much it would cost me, makes me realize I'll be okay with these kind of accessories for the mean time.
So cute di ba? I wish they won't tarnish quickly though!
How about you, what's your recent loot from Forever 21?

The name of the exotic fruit the longan translated from Vietnamese means "dragon eye". Its appearance really is somewhat intimidating, however, despite this, the fruits have excellent taste and have a very pleasant aroma.

According to some sources, the longan for the first time appeared in China. Currently this subtropical plant is often found between the elevations, it is able to easily migrate South of freezing to -3 degrees Celsius.
Although longan is considered to be a close "relative" of lychee, yet the fruits of these two plants differ. The longan they are small, on average reaching 2.5 mm in diameter and having yellow-brown color.
Now the longan is a very popular fruit. It is grown not only at home in China, but also in Indonesia, Taiwan and Vietnam. The name of this fruit comes from the Vietnamese province of the same name.
The flesh of longan is white and transparent. And through it is seen a dark red or black stone, round shaped.

Hello everyone!
Well well well, it's that time of the year again. The start of December! Can't believe how quick this year has gone. I remember going back to school and then doing my leaving cert and now I'm half way through college, WHAT?! It's also Christmas this month, just for that, I am excited. I have to say a big sorry to all my readers because I have not been updating at all. I'm going on holidays for 3 weeks also, so I can write blog posts but I won't be able to post them until I'm back.
But anyways, I've decided for today to make a post on things I'm hoping to get this Christmas and things I have planned to buy! Unfortunately, I've been broke so many times this year that I've splashed out with my bank card, which I had been saving up on. So I've decided to put away €100 out of my Christmas money and €5 a week until I save up enough to put back on it. It's always handy to have money on my bank card, just in case of emergencies! Which I always have! 'Oh I'm cold, gonna buy a hat and scarf, oh and those gloves are cute! Maybe I should get boots too, and pjs!'. Yeah, that's how I roll when I'm in town and I usually never have enough money on hand so I use my card! Bad idea.
Not going to bore you anymore, I'll just get into the wishlist! ALL of these items are from Boots and are just bits and bobs I would like to have for myself!
I've always wanted one of thes eos lip balms, but I've never been able to get one so when I seen this on the Boots website I was determined, I was gonna get this! There's also a strawberry, raspberry and coconut one!
I've really been needing a new tweezers and I thought I'd get the models own one! It's a pretty colour!! But seriously, I heard they're really good anyways. My crappy ones just pull the face off me and I always end up crying! Why do women torture themselves?!
I already have a few gel eyeliners, but I don't use them that much! I think this one's a handy size and it's good the way the brush comes with it, saves you looking for more brushes everywhere. I never tried Rimmel eyeliners before so I don't know what to expect of it.
I genuinely don't collect lipsticks, but I have started using some of the ones I've had from ages ago. So I decided I'll treat myself for Christmas and try some new colours out and see how it goes! Can't wait to experiment!
~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ♥ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
Right guys, I'm going to wrap it up there. I don't want to list all of the things I want, because I'm saving them for other blog posts! I have some news though!! I'm excited to say that I have a giveaway coming up soon! When I hit 100 followers I'll start it. Or I might have it before I go away so I can just get rid of the prizes. I'll try and put up a post tomorrow to show you guys what I'm giving away! Sorry this post is short, but it's better than nothing hehe.

The Ocean and National Magazine collection is an amazing resource for discovering what life was like for people living in the south Wales coalfield in the 1920s and 1930s. Published by the Ocean Coal Company Ltd and United National Collieries Ltd, with contributions by and for the workforce, this magazine series contains a wide variety of articles on the coal industry and its history, including industrial relations, employees, technology, culture and sporting events. Andrew Booth, one of our volunteers has recently completed the indexing of this fantastic collection. This is the third of a series of blog posts in which Andrew highlights stories from the Ocean and National Magazines.
Many contributions to the magazine include technical and scientific articles concerning coal mining processes. One such feature appeared in 1930, with a series of articles from a party of then-current or former members of Ocean's coal mines in south Wales, concerning the tour they made of the coalfields of north east England.
Machinery and mining techniques are discussed within the articles, with L. Phillips, Manager, Nine Mile Point Colliery, discussing, in January 1930, how machines were being used in the north of England to assist miners. He remarks that using machines in a coal mine was not as straightforward as using machines in steelworks or tinplate mills or car factories, but notes that over 22% of the total coal produced at the time was cut by machinery. He discusses the types of conveyors used to deal with the large quantity of coal cut by the coal-cutters and how perfect cooperation between officials and men is needed to ensure the efficiency of this system.
Coal mining methodology is also discussed in the February edition by Ben Phillips of Park Pit. Within his article he compares methods of working the coal seams in south Wales and the north-west of England. He discussed the board and pillar and long wall methods. He notes longwall had been introduced …as the result of the exhaustion of the thicker seams of coal in the Northern coalfields… and writes about the variations found within both methods.
At Ashington Colliery, Daniel J. Thomas, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (formerly engaged in the Engineers' department, Treorchy) comments that at Ashington Colliery his group had the pleasure of lighting a cigarette at the coalface, within 10 feet of an electrical coal cutter. Although impressed by the use of electricity at Seghill Colliery, he was disappointed when he visited the colliery, as …although electricity was solely used they did not generate any. Other collieries within the coalfield of north east England were also benefitting from the use of electricity. When Thomas' team visited Haworth Colliery, they were able to see a pair of electric winders, capable of raising 7½ tons of coal per wind from a depth of 1000 yards.
Differences in working practices were also mentioned. In one particular article from the January edition, Daniel J. Thomas, a former Treorchy engineer based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, comments on the strange shift times of the miners at Usworth: …some men went in at 5am and others at 11am.
Through these articles readers would have been able to gain an understanding of the technical side of mining and the similarities and differences in the working practices of the south Wales and northern England coalfields.

Documentary Collections (DCs)
What are Documentary Collections?
Documentary collections differ from a Letter of Credit (read our blog post on the differences between DCs and LCs).
In the case of a documentary collection, the exporter will request payment by presenting its shipping and collection documents to their remitting bank. The remitting bank then forwards these documents on to the bank of the importer. The importers bank will then pay the exporters bank, which will credit those funds to the exporter.
The role of banks in a documentary collection is limited, they do not verify the documents, take risks, nor do they guarantee payment; banks just control the flow of the documents.
With documentary collections, the bank does not cover credit and country risk, however, they are more convenient and more cost-effective than Letters of Credit and can be useful if the exporter and importer have a good relationship, and if the importer is situated in a politically and economically stable market.

Stephen Baldwin is the latest Hollywood actor to find himself in the midst of financial woes. This time, the IRS is involved.
Baldwin, a member of the Baldwin acting family, is facing tax evasion charges. According to reports, Mr. Baldwin failed to pay income tax to the state of New York for years 2008 to 2010. Including penalties and interest, Baldwin is the recipient of a hefty tax bill of over $350,000. Sources say that if convicted, Baldwin could face up to 4 years in jail. Baldwin will face the charges on February 5, 2013.
Baldwin, like many other celebrities who have faced similar tax issues in the past, claims that the situation he is currently in isn't the result of a willful failure to pay his taxes, but a failure to hire competent tax professionals. As a Forbes article from this morning notes, celebrities are not the only ones who find themselves in complicated tax situations after trusting the wrong tax professional.
Hiring the right tax professional is an important task. Contact Segal, Cohen & Landis, LLP to speak to tax professionals you can trust.Segal, Cohen & Landis, LLP 9100 Wilshire Blvd., Ste. 601E Beverly Hills, CA 90212 (310) 285-3999

Periventricular Hypodensity & Small Vessel Disease
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
Small vessel disease is a cardiac condition that can be difficult to detect; it can be asymptomatic or have symptoms similar to angina, according to the Mayo Clinic. A CAT scan for a condition known as periventricular hypodensity can help in properly diagnosing small vessel disease.
Small Vessel Disease
According to the Mayo Clinic, small vessel disease, also known as coronary microvascular disease, occurs when small arteries in the heart narrow—known as periventricular hypodensity. Small vessel disease is more common in women; diabetes and hypertension are coexisting conditions.
Both arteriolosclerosis and microatheromatosis—the two main types of small vessel disease—feature periventricular hypodensity, according to an August 8, 2002, article on "Lacunar Infarcts" published by the American Heart Association.
Periventricular hypodensity is a narrowing or thickening of the small blood vessels or ventricles. This narrowing, according to the Mayo Clinic, can contribute to small vessel disease. It can also be present in cerebrovascular disease, affecting the small blood vessels that supply the brain.
Endothelial Dysfunction
Periventricular hypodensity can also mean the heart and brain are receiving insufficient oxygen; vessels may narrow further while experiencing duress or stress, according to the Mayo Clinic. The inability of blood vessels to expand under stress is called endothelial dysfunction.
Stroke Danger
According to the American Heart Association article, untreated small vessel disease and periventricular hypodensity can trigger a lacunar infarct or stroke, particularly if periventricular hypodensity also affects an artery that provides blood to the brain.
Periventricular hypodensity is usually diagnosed via CAT scan, after the main heart arteries have been checked for narrowing and blockages.

Educators seek increased teacher funding
RICHMOND – Virginia educators are calling in state leaders to use the upcoming special session to address funding for public schools.
Virginia Education Association President Meg Gruber appealed to Gov. Terry McAuliffe and the General Assembly on Thursday.
Gruber says Virginia is in danger of being unable to find qualified teachers because of low pay and reduced retirement benefits.
Her association says a report compiled by the National Education Association shows Virginia teachers earn about $7,500 less than the national average.
Gruber says that despite the significant gap, none of the budget proposals considered by lawmakers this session included the state share of a salary increase for teachers.

|CEO's office
|Link to the template page
|Linked locations
|Security Room
|We need more pieces to finish this puzzle.
|This article is under construction. While it is not short, it still needs expansion as outlined in the manual of style. The article most likely needs expansion near the end of the tagged section or sections.
The CEO's office of KB Security was the office of Kane Bullard until his murder. It contained an alarm button that was linked to the building's security room and sounded a loud noise when pressed, summoning the guards to the scene immediately. It also contained a safe that only higher-ups could open, as well as sorting shelves for various files.
- Main article: The Stolen Turnabout
Luke Atmey sought to kill Bullard and frame Ron DeLite for the deed. To this end, he sent an anonymous letter to DeLite to come to the CEO's office. He then visited Bullard and killed him with a blunt object. When DeLite arrived, he used a security card that he had gotten while employed at KB Security to enter the office, only to have Atmey knock him out, press the office alarm to alert the guards, and escape. However, the only guard on duty at the time failed to arrive at the scene. When DeLite came to, he discovered Bullard's body and, in a state of panic, hid it inside the safe and escaped as well.
DeLite soon turned himself in and, during the trial for the murder of Bullard, the prosecution argued that DeLite was the only one present in the room at the time of the murder, so he had to be the killer. However, DeLite's attorney took advantage of a slip-up on Luke Atmey's part to prove that he had also been present during the murder, causing Atmey to break down and admit his guilt.
