The Flyers head back to Philadelphia where they hopefully find a way to play 60 minutes of hockey against the Washington Capitals.
For whatever reason, the Capitals have given the Flyers perhaps the most trouble this season. We all remember the 7-0 slugfest that happened the last time these teams were in Philadelphia, and let's face it: Sunday afternoon was just awful. While the Caps aren't the toughest team the Flyers have faced, those two losses stand out as ugly blemishes on the season.
Washington Capitals (18-12-3, 39 pts) at Philadelphia Flyers (14-15-4, 32 pts)
7:30 p.m. | Wells Fargo Center | South Philadelphia
TV: CSN Philly, CSN DC, NBCSN, TSN | Radio: 97.5 The Fanatic
Get the Washington perspective at Japers' Rink
The Flyers, of course, enter the game tonight after a debilitating loss in Washington on Sunday. That game was (I hate to say) the same old, same old -- very solid play for about 50 minutes, then a horrible collapse that erased the lead and sent them to a shootout. Where they lost.
Tonight, the only hope is for the Flyers to play their same game from Sunday, albeit for 10 minutes longer.
Good defensive coverage is going to be key tonight. The Caps have a lot of offensive firepower, and are absolutely deadly on the power play. I can't count the number of times I've seen Ovechkin shoot the puck right in the net after getting a clean draw. Limiting offensive zone draws (and winning them), staying out of the box, and clogging up passing lanes are all crucial to securing a win.
All eyes are going to be on Michael Raffl tonight. He's been nothing short of stellar after getting promoted to the first line, notching a goal and 3 assists in the last two games. He's adding some sorely needed vigor to that first line, and it's nice to see he's living up to expectations.
Steve Mason gets the start in net, hoping to snag a win after being dealt some unfortunate bounces on Sunday. No word of the Caps goaltending decision yet, and coach Adam Oates indicated that all three will be in Philadelphia tonight.
Mikhail Grabovski is still out with the flu, which is great for the Flyers because he's been quite solid this season. The Caps recalled center Casey Wellman to presumably fill the fourth line center role left vacant by the recently injured Michael Latta. Wellman's your typical call up player -- he only has 41 NHL games under his belt and has spent most of his career in the minors.
A win tonight would put the Flyers right back at .500 -- a position they've taken and lost about a thousand times this year. But hey, you have to get to .500 to break it.
Game starts at 7:30. Caps suck. Go Flyers.


Benefits of Listening to Classical Music
So many people want to know whether the people who look to traditional music benefit in one way or another. The answer is yes. The number of merits that are I lace for such people is increased. This has been proved by very many studies which have reinstated the same thing. They are the pieces that were performed in the olden days. Those who listened to the music in the past can, therefore, be regarded to as benefactors. The advantages increase whenever you use the music anytime that you are not doing anything. This article, therefore, looks at some of the benefits that can be achieved by those who listen to classical music.
The primary advantage of listening to classical music is that they can help in lowering the strength of the blood. Keeping your heart healthy is one thing that you need to worry about so much. Reduced blood pressure is one of the means of ensuring that your heart is healthy. Classical music can do this to your blood pressure. Several studies have confirmed that indeed this can happen. The experiments were done with different kinds of music. The force of the blood rose every time other forms of music were in the background, view here for more.
Increase in mind is another advantage of listening to classical music. Having a good memory is something that most people would always admire. You will need the mind while you take care of so many things. Getting a way of increasing your mind should be one of the things that worries you, discover more. One way of doing this is listening to classical music. Mozart is one of the types that will ensure an enhanced memory. Listening to such kinds of music will occasionally help you when you are expected to memorize so many things, link.
Lastly, concentrating on old school songs can minimize these chances of one having anxiety. If you have stress, you can listen to classical music to relieve you. Scientists have done several studies on the relationship between the levels of stress and the classical music. The pulse of the people are closely related to the beat at which such music is played. Therefore in case of anxiety it can be used to reduce the levels. The sings are also crucial for expectant mothers. With such music, the mother is not prone to anxiety during the whole pregnancy period. It is suited for those who want to get rid of stress, see page.
To conclude, listening to classical music can help you enjoy all the merits that have been discussed in this report.

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Nico United’s slide towards relegation continued on Saturday when they lost 1-0 to visiting Orapa United at the Selebi-Phikwe Stadium.
Nico played uninspiring football for the better part of the game, creating very few opportunities while Orapa United were cautious, employing five men at the back.
Nico’s assistant coach, Duncan Segofatso has said despite the defeat, things are looking good.
He said his players played better than they did against BMC the previous weekend.
Nico plunged to 15th spot with the loss and are now in real danger of dropping to the First Division next season.
In fact the situation looks dire for Selebi-Phikwe teams with Satmos 14th on the log.
Against Orapa, Nico appeared rejuvenated with former ECCO City Greens winger, Mogomotsi Samson making runs on the right flank.
However, his crosses were not utilised.
Arnold Mampori, Onkabetse Seforo and the much-touted Onkabetse Makgantai tried in vain to get the ball past Mosimanegape Robert in Orapa United goal.
With the game headed for a stalemate, Patrick Lenyeletse scored the winner in the 75th minute following a goalmouth melee.
Orapa United skipper Thabang Mosige had the Nico United defence in sixes and sevens before laying a good pass to Lenyeletse who poked the ball through a forest of legs in the danger zone. The win continues Orapa United’s purple patch highlighted by a 4-0 demolition of Letlapeng 4-0 in their previous assignment. The Orapa side lie sixth, with 31 points - nine off the pace.
Chippa Koolise, the Orapa United assistant coach praised his players for the three points but expressed worry about the strikers’ lack of composure in the box.
He said they should have wrapped up the game in the first half.

By Nissa Shaffi, NCL Associate Director of Health Policy
Viruses mutate, and SARS CoV-2—more commonly known as COVID-19—is no exception to that rule. When a virus evolves and mutates from its predominant virus, all that we know about it changes as well. It may be too soon to glean what impact the variants could have on vaccine rollout and efficacy, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have provided the detailed evidence they’ve uncovered thus far.
Three new strains of COVID-19 have been identified presently in four countries: the United Kingdom (B.1.1.7), Japan and Brazil (P.1), and South Africa (B.1.351). These new variants have not been observed to be more deadly, nor have they made people sicker, but one thing they all have in common is that they are more contagious than COVID-19. Cases for these strains have been found in 33 countries, including the United States.
While the variants all differ slightly in their function, they all possess a specific mutation called D614G — a shared trait that allows these new strains to spread more quickly than the predominant virus. The strain found in the United Kingdom, B.1.1.7, has an estimated 50 percent transmissibility rate, or how quickly it spreads from person to person. Considering ongoing efforts to release new vaccines for inclusion in a national rollout to curb this pandemic, a mutating virus presents unique challenges for an already overburdened healthcare system.
So, what does this mean for travel, testing, vaccines, and so on? The CDC has released a helpful questionnaire for individuals to consider before they pursue travel, requesting that people delay non-essential travel whenever possible. For those that plan to travel, the CDC has released guidance which states that individuals traveling via air into the United States must provide proof of a negative test result or documentation of recovery, before boarding their flight. Masks are required on all forms of public transportation, including planes. The CDC has issued travel notices regarding global travel and each country’s corresponding risk-level.
Scientists are continuously gathering data to determine how the variants will impact the efficacy of certain therapies, vaccines, and tests. Until further evidence suggests, states are reluctant to enforce stringent lockdown procedures. According to public health experts, the best way to rein in the transmission of these highly contagious variants and to ensure a successful vaccine rollout, is to practice physical distancing and double masking. Layering two masks, as double masking suggests, provide added layers of protection and a better-fitting face covering. Not all masks are equal. To learn more about how to maximize protection against the coronavirus with masks, click here.
As new information emerges, it is important to adjust our safety measures to successfully navigate an ever evolving situation. Consumers are understandably experiencing pandemic-fatigue. Rest assured that the fruits of our collective efforts are closer than they appear, if only we work together towards protecting ourselves and our communities from unnecessary transmission.

Since it feels like Fall this morning, I decided to give you the recipe for one of my favorite harvest time treats. My recipe for oatcakes is pretty easy, but I’m the kind of cook who just puts things in without measuring the amount with a spoon. So good luck, and just experiment with the amount of sugar.
1 cup Quick Oats
1 cup flour
1/2 stick of butter (or the equivalent amount of shortening, but then make sure to add salt to taste)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (this is the Arm and Hammer stuff, see it is related to Hammermarks!)
brown sugar to taste (probably start with about a tablespoon and go from there)
water (this varies anywhere from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup depending on how dry it is and how gooey I want to make it)
Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine all the ingredients except water. Begin to add the water slowly while stirring. You want it wet enough that it sticks together, but dry enough you can still roll it into balls. Roll mixture into 1″ balls. Place onto nonstick cookie pan (they have enough fat in them that you don’t have to grease it, but if you use regular pans, maybe use parchment paper). Sprinkle tops with cinnamon and a little more brown sugar if desired. Bake at 375°F for about 18 – 20 minutes. Make sure and check them since ovens vary. Serve with honey to dip in. I also think that they pair interestingly with the local cabernet francs. If you’re bold enough try them this way.

The lack of logistics at the Births and Deaths Registry is hampering the efforts of officials at the registry to perform their core duties.
Registrar Yaw Agbeko told Joy News only two of its ten regional offices have official vehicles.
“We have vehicles in Central Region and then the Northern Regions, all the other regions they don’t have any vehicles”.
This he says prevents officials at the Registry from going into the communities to gather information as they occur.
The Births and Deaths Registry was established by the Act301 of 1965, within the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to handle and develop the births and deaths registration system in Ghana.
Its core mandate is to provide accurate and reliable information on all births and deaths occurring within Ghana for Socio-economic development of the country through their registration and certification.
Mr. Abgeko said their expected budget for 2013 came in September but they were unable to put it to meaningful use because it was less than fifty percent of what they expected.
Even though the rest of the money for last year was not released, Joy News has learnt that money for the first quarter of this year has been released.
He fears that the offices of the registry which are accommodated in wooden structures pose a risk to workers and most data could be lost because the system is not computerized.
Even though the Registry has seen some renovation in the form of paintings, it still has to rely on benevolence of some private institutions such as Plan Ghana and UNICEF to work.

The Elitists are Angry that Seniors dont want to pay School Taxes!
Are you kidding me? These Gated Communities that Seniors seem to love, have to pay NO school taxes? Well, somebody just smack me! I didn't know this!
Its about damn time! Why should seniors with no kids in school have to pay school taxes? In fact why should anyone that has no children in school have to pay school taxes? It looks like finally someone came up with a good idea, and the elitist left, the liberals who feel everyone else should pay their way, don't like it!
Read the articles here and here...
Ive been paying school taxes for over 30 years, and its not a small amount either. And I have no kids in pre-K or K-12 or college, or University. Yet every year, I get the honor of paying for all of that in property taxes, and income taxes, and more. For other people's crumb crunchers to go to school. It gets old, and its not my responsibility anymore.
So, these liberal snobs decided that it is not right that seniors in the Villages in Florida and Phoenix get away with no school taxes. And that is just plain unfair! It doesn't matter that they worked for 45 years, paid school taxes in those years via property taxes and income taxes. Its never enough for our fine feathered enemies on the left. Its just never enough.
They come up with more ways to take our money everyday, and expect the American public to just hand it over. Like it or not. And to shut up about it. They feel that since seniors are getting Social Security and Medicaid, they OWE the people that are now paying taxes to "give back", one way or another. In other words, these senior citizens have not paid enough over their lifetime, and they owe the generation that is coming up a free ride.
Its time to end financing of public schools through taxation. Our children are not getting a good education, they are being indoctrinated. Parents should have to fund their children's schooling, and if they did, they would make sure that they learn, with good teachers, or the parents pull them out. Liberals could send their children to the school that fits them, and conservatives could send their children to a conservative school, without fear of anyone brainwashing our kids. Superior teachers would be rewarded, and bad teachers would be fired.
Its time that we get back to the days when we only paid for what we use. Its pathetic that if you want to place your children in private school that you still have to pay public school taxes on top of paying tuition.
And for the whiners that say poor people cant pay for their own kids to go to school, there is home schooling. And besides that, don't have kids if you cant afford them. Raising children is not cheap, raising children when someone else has to pay for it is theft.
The only ones making out from public funding of schools are the teachers and Administration. Go to your city school district online and see just how much money they have to work with. Its huge, and when I looked up my Grandson's school district, 88% of all funds went to salaries. The average salary was about 66K, and that is not tenured. That's not much you say? Try working just 180 days a year, about 6 or 7 hours a day, with full benefits and retirement and every holiday off, along with the summer. Half a year of work. HALF A YEAR..and if your tenured, or a University Professor, its much, much higher.
Go ahead..go to your city school district web page and look up the financial statement. Study it! And the next time they cry that they don't get enough money, make sure you show them that page. Go out of you way and find out what the average teacher makes, include benefits and retirement packages.
Then hide your money in your mattress.


America in a globalised world
In the run up to the US 2012 US elections, Anders Pedersen reviews leading analyst Fareed Zakaria’s The Post-American World, which asks if America has a place in the new world order.
The world is changing because of globalisation. Some say the world is getting smaller, that it’s more flexible, others believe it’s becoming more unstable. And there are others still, who believe the financial crisis has pushed the power balance, weakening America’s position as an existing super power and supporting China’s ascent.
It all depends on the eyes that see it. Some see globalisation as a threat, mostly because it’s pretty hard to define what exactly globalisation is and therefore what it means. On the other hand there are those that see globalisation as a great opportunity for both their own country and the rest of the world.
In America, globalisation has been debated heavily within the political debate over the last years, just like it will be in the upcoming campaign. Because with an American economy in turmoil, the fact remains the United States no longer has the same strength. Numerous American jobs have been lost, while countries like China, India and Brazil are growing stronger every day. The question is, what should America do? Can it regain it’s lost strength or should it accept its too late and adapt to the new world order?
This is not a simple question, and therefore there is no easy answer or quick fix. A good way to get start the search for answers is by reading Fareed Zakaria’s book, The Post-American World. Until recently, Zakaria worked at Newsweek before moving to Time magazine. Zakaria is one of the world’s sharpest analysts when it comes to global affairs, and his book is a magnificent piece of political literature.
Zakaria argues America should adjust to the new world order that has been created by globalization and the financial crisis. The rise of the four BRIC countries – Brazil, Russia, India and China – does not mean America can no longer play a key role in the international society, Zakaria argues. What it takes is collaboration between America and these countries and a realisation that the economical growth of a country like China or India can be good for America too.
Whether you agree with Zakaria or not, the book is a great way of achieving a better understanding of what impact globalization has on not only America but the rest of the world as well.
Once again, it depends on the eyes that see it.
So far, president Obama has chosen a course that in many ways is similar to the one Zakaria is suggesting in his book – reaching out to rising countries like China and India. Opponents of Obama, like Mitt Romney, disagree with Zakaria’s argument that we are living in a post-American world.
That’s why it’s very likely that some of the major clashes in debates to come during the election campaign will be about this agenda.
After all, this is something that plays a very big part in economic policy, employment policy, national security policy and foreign policy.
In other words, it influences almost all the topics that usually dominate a presidential campaign.
This is also why it is so important to understand it. And whether or not you agree with the points Zakaria makes in The Post-American World, you will certain have a clearer picture of how globalisation is affecting America and the world America is a part of. How America should approach this new world, is soon to be discussed by Obama, Romney and the other candidates. Because it may not be a simple question, but they will all try their hardest to answer it.


‘America is back’: Biden pledges return to diplomacy in US foreign policy
Purpose of the visit – emphasize that the Biden administration is seeking to re-establish a multilateral approach to foreign policy issues and to declare a resurgence of close cooperation between the administration and the international community.
During the visit, the President is accompanied by Vice President Kamala Harris, who addressed the department staff with an opening speech.
Then President Biden addressed the audience..
«America is back. Diplomacy returns»,– he said.
Addressing State Department officials, President Biden highlighted the critical role that Department plays in addressing the challenges facing the world today. – pandemic coronavirus, climate crisis and nuclear proliferation. «These problems can only be solved by countries working together for a common cause.», – emphasized Biden.
Cooperation with other countries «must start with diplomacy based on the most precious values of American democracy – protecting freedom, offering opportunities, protecting human rights, respecting the rule of law, treating all people with dignity»,– said the president.
«While many of these values have come under intense pressure in recent years, and have even been on the brink of extinction in the past few weeks, the American people will emerge stronger from this situation … to unite the world in the fight to defend democracy», – emphasized Biden.
The President said that over the past two weeks, he managed to communicate with many US allies, leaders of Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Germany, France, NATO, Japan, South Korea and Australia. The speech, according to Biden, was about reformatting America’s foreign policy and restoring democratic unions that «have atrophied in the last four years of neglect and abuse».
According to Biden, the ability to create alliances – one of the main advantages of the United States. The President stressed that the United States should «standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies and key partners again». However, at the same time, Washington must continue «diplomatic engagement with our opponents and competitors where it is in our interests and contributes to the safety of the American people».
As the press secretary of the White House Jen Psaki, who once served as a spokesman for the State Department, said on the eve, Biden’s visit to the Foreign Ministry is due to «primarily by his desire to thank the men and women who are members of the diplomatic service, civil servants who represent the heart and soul of this institution and, frankly, – our government».
According to Psaki, President Biden’s speech will be devoted to a wide range of foreign policy issues..
The fact that Biden visits the State Department so soon after taking office is intended to demonstrate the president’s interest in foreign policy and, in particular, to remind him of the years when he served as a Senator from Delaware on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee..
Speaking during a briefing on the foreign policy agenda of the Biden administration on Wednesday, Jen Psaki recalled that, according to the president’s conviction, the United States should work closely with allies on the issue of relations with China. In this regard, she cited a statement by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who called the US-China relationship the most important relationship in the world for the United States..
Psaki stressed the need for the immediate release of Americans arrested by the Russian authorities.
Recall that among US citizens held in Russia, – former Marines Paul Whelan and Trevor Reed, as well as investor Michael Calvey.
Paul Whelan was sentenced by a Russian court to sixteen years in prison on espionage charges. Trevor Reed sentenced to nine years in prison on charges of endangering the lives of two Russian police officers.
Psaki said the release of the arrested Americans would demonstrate that after the US and Russia agreed to extend START III, Russia is ready to consider «difficult questions», inherited from the past, in the context of bilateral relations.


I am having some bad issues with my forge. I cannot get it to get past the centering/scanning phase in the app. I also cannot get the carriage to move on it’s own even after I gently moved it back and forth and side to side when the machine was off with no resistance. I have restarted wifi, the machine, and my application several times with no success. I have cleaned every section of the machine including the camera and lenses. I checked all the clips and they look to be in place with no bends. I am attaching a video of the startup and you can hear the relay switches working but when it comes time when the carriage should move it just stays still. Sometimes there is a very slight jolt, but it never fully moves. Does anybody have any other suggestions for things I can do? I already contacted firstname.lastname@example.org but I know it can be a few days and I really need my machine up and running before then! I am swamped with orders right now and I really don’t want to lose my clients!

‘The Great Awokening’ in five charts.— Noah Carl (@NoahCarl90) June 3, 2019
1. Beliefs about racial inequality among white liberals (@ZachG932, @epkaufm) pic.twitter.com/nICx5CCCdh

I know that it aggravates some of my readers whenever I bring this subject up. There is a tendency among White Nationalists to think of White Americans as a homogeneous ethnic group. There is also a narrative that White America has been solely ruined by the Jews.
Southerners tend to be more conscious of The Yankee Problem in American History. It doesn’t come as any surprise to us that at this moment there are enraged Yankees in places like Ankeny, Iowa that are 94.7% White that are ready to strike back against the “racism” and “bigotry” of their moral inferiors for electing Donald Trump as president in 2016.
“ANKENY, Iowa — When Donald Trump was elected, John Olsen felt enraged by the racial tension that fueled his rise, the silence of his white neighbors and the stories of racial discrimination he heard from his nonwhite friends.
Black friends said they were followed around department stores, so Mr. Olsen, who is white, became a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He thought that white Americans were scared of the country’s growing Latino population, so he joined the League of United Latin American Citizens. He now registers voters weekly, including with the League of Women Voters, to atone for his “white privilege,” he said.
“I try to have my bases covered,” said Mr. Olsen, 50, who wore a N.A.A.C.P. T-shirt to a campaign rally for Senator Kamala Harris here last week. “It just hurts my heart that white people are afraid of the country’s growing Hispanic population. And I just can’t allow that to continue.”
White liberals — voters like Mr. Olsen — are thinking more explicitly about race than they did even a decade ago, according to new research and polling. In one survey, an overwhelming majority said that racial discrimination affects the lives of black people. They embrace terms like “structural racism” and “white privilege. …
According to research by Zach Goldberg, a Georgia State University doctoral student, the attitudes of white liberals like Ms. Neff have moved dramatically in a short time.
In 2010, about 40 percent of white liberals said “blacks who can’t get ahead in this country are mostly responsible for their own condition.” Now, that number has dropped to 24 percent, and more than 70 percent of white liberals say “racial discrimination is the main reason why many black people can’t get ahead these days.”
This isn’t a Yankee-bashing article.
These Yankees are recoiling in horror because it was their fellow Yankees who elected Donald Trump in 2016 in the first place. Blompf underperformed Mitt Romney in Southern states like Texas and Georgia while overperforming him in the Midlands and Yankeedom. He nearly won Minnesota because of changing racial attitudes in the Deep North.
It was a surge in rural White voters in the Midwest and Rust Belt – the Obama to Trump Democrats – who made him president. He also excited Yankees in Florida and Nevada which are two states with the highest number of transplants in America. Iowa is the bellwether state in the region because culturally it is almost fully within the Midlands. The fact that Trump had a commanding lead in the polls in Iowa before the 2016 election told me that he was poised for a big victory in the Midwest and the Rust Belt. It came as no surprise when he won Ohio decisively.
What was the secret to Trump’s success in the Deep North? It was his positions on free trade, the fact that he wasn’t a religious zealot in the mold of Ted Cruz and anxiety over changing demographics due to refugee resettlement and legal and illegal immigration. There has been an influx of diversity into the rural Midwest that is shaking up the culture there. The Democratic Party is also being pulled to the Far Left by the swelling numbers of non-Whites and progressive urbanites who don’t exactly resonate with the culture of the rural Deep North.
**There is a tendency among White Nationalists to think of White Americans as a homogeneous ethnic group.**
There is also a tendency among Southern Nationalists to think of White Southerners as a homogeneous ethnic group. They are not.
Iowans are NOT Yankees, they’re Midwesterners. The term Yankee refers solely to those terrible people from the Northeast and no other region of the USA. Yankees, especially of the Hebrew persuasion, are the historic enemies of Dixie.
Midwesterners are still Northerners. And many of them came to the Midwest from the Northeast back in the days when farming was still a thing.
A Yankee who migrates West (or South, for that matter) is still a Yankee. And so are his offspring.
Fallacies about who is to ‘blame’ for the idiocy that is the Negro Race, are just as infantile as that of ‘Climate Collapse’ and the puberty-arrested Autiste Actor, Greta Thunberg.
As another poster noted on a different site, all of that will eventually be viewed as insane and child-abusing, as the “Children’s Crusade” of the Middle Ages. If the Caucasian Plane can hold up against the onslaught of Mental Retards, that is….
As somone else noted on another blog, [ https://www.melaniephillips.com/extinction-of-reason/ ]
“Listening to BBC Radio’s Today programme this morning on the Extinction Rebellion protests was a frightening experience in itself. The BBC has decided there can be no challenge to “climate change” theory, other wise known as anthropogenic global warming (AGW). In its notorious “crib sheet” to staff, it advised: “As climate change is accepted as happening, you do not need a ‘denier’ to balance the debate”.
Thus the BBC is engaged in the extinction of journalism.”
Which means, the Extinction of REASON.
The White man is not responsible for the evolution and development of other races.
It’s nobody’s fault that Niggers are Niggers. Or cows are cows, or the sky is blue.
IMHO Trump will win Minnesota in 2020. All the (((MN Media))) can run cover for the Somalis, but that does not change the damage these people have done to the state.
From your mouth, to God’s ears. As I said earlier, I would be HAPPY to donate to the MN GOP, if only to stick it to Klobuchar, Omar, the DFL, and all of the IDIOTS in MN, who confuse Marxism with American Governance.
I also WANT to believe that Jason Lewis will become the next Senator from MN. Jason is not your typical Conservative. In the past, he has been highly critical of AIPAC/Christian Zionists. I suspect he is a closet-Agnostic (he’s a fallen away Catholic highly critical of the liberalism within The Church) and openly mocked callers who made the argument that America needs to “Bless” Israel. IMHO, he is a bridge between small “L” libertarians and the new nationalism that is emerging in the GOP.
Familiarity breeds contempt even apparently, finally, among otherwise suicidal Scandinavians. I guess they have had their fill of diversity in Minneapolis. The Left will go berserk if it looks like Minnesota is voting for Trump.
Trump got six Yankee states to switch sides and vote along with the South and interior West, for him.
He deprived Clinton of 81 electoral votes. Which cost her the election.
In terms of electoral votes, Dixie and the Interior West can almost out vote Yankeedom and her Pacific Rim colonies. Without California’s votes, overwhelmingly so.
Which is why the Yankees in the Northeast are clamouring to end the electoral college.
Unfortunately for us, we don’t have a Southern Nationalist Party in power, in Dixie, or a Populist/Nationalist party in the Interior West, that can form an alliance and slow down or defeat Yankeedom in the political arena.
If Biden wants to win, all he has do is talk up union jobs and corn and soybean subsidies in West Yankeedom.
As an aside. The governor of Iowa provided a base of operations for John Brown and his guerillas. He even deployed Iowa state troops to guard the town where Brown’s base was located.
Yet Missourians and other Southrons are “traitors” and “rebels” for not wanting to be murdered, robbed and disenfranchised by their supposed “Fellow Americans.”
>The governor of Iowa provided a base of operations for John Brown and his guerillas.Yet Missourians and other Southrons are “traitors” and “rebels” for not wanting to be murdered, robbed and disenfranchised by their supposed “Fellow Americans.”<
There were traitors and rebels who murdered and robbed their fellow Americans to spread the detestable Negro slavery. They were decisively defeated and put in their place.
The same old bullshit argument since 1856.
The poor, hapless Yankees dindu nuffin’.
You know darn well that most Southerners are not rebel flag waving secessionists, Mr. Owen.
“There is also a narrative that White America has been solely ruined by the Jews.”
As we used to say at SNN, Jewish power is a symptom of Yankee rule.
One of the most profound statements ever made on The Daily Shoah, was when Mike Enoch counter-signaled neo-Confederates from the right. Specifically, he said that the average Yankee was fighting against slavery not because he loved blacks–but he didn’t want slavery spreading north. In the north, among Labor Historians there was a belief in the “Slave Power Conspiracy. That being, the elites of the north would one day see what they were missing by not having slavery. As we know, look at how much elite whites detest “lesser whites” and love their colored pets.
Owen – TX is LARDED, absolutely rotten with Jews, as is the rest of the South. Southerners WORSHIP Jews. WORSHIP Jews. So I think ya’ll are just projecting your own pathologies onto the Chimera Yanqui.
This is related although off topic:
There you have it. The FBI has classified this guy as the worst serial killer in US history. And, he’s black.
I thought only whites had this problem? That’s what the media is always saying but on this site we always knew.
The problem isn’t Yankees as a whole, the problem is the bourgeoisie. The Southern bourgeoisie sucks too. They’re into Christian Zionism and boomerconism. The Yankee bourgeoisie are woke liberals. Both are trash.
“There is also a narrative that White America has been solely ruined by the Jews.”
No, Southern elites also ruined White America, from their days of breeding Niggers in plantations to their present stint as the Jew-worshipping “Judeo-Christian” cuckservative lapdogs.
I think it is correct to say that the only racial struggle in America is between white self-hating liberals and white conservatives. Non-white groups don’t actually possess any political agency. They are totally at the mercy of whites. If whites are united in wanting to achieve something, it gets done
When it comes to buying stocks, if the price of a stock goes exponential it means there is a bubble, and a crash in the price of that stock is coming so it is time to sell that stock.
Those graphs above make me wonder if the White liberals are passing through an anti-White faith bubble, and are heading for a big crisis after it bursts.
The absurdity of a White guy being concerned about racism in an area where basically only Whites live is not a new phenomenon. Certainly not in the Upper Midwest. But it does illustrate how thoroughly the Civic Nationalist propaganda has programmed some people to believe in White Guilt. Most Whites really don’t give a damn about other races, but they can be relied upon to repeat the standard equalitarian inanities if a microphone is shoved in their face.
But the divide between Whites that don’t want to care about race and the ones that want to make you care is getting to one of those boiling points we periodically see in American history. This time, however, the dividing lines aren’t so geographically neat as they were in Civil War I, as what happens at Trump rallies show. If or when there is a partition of the US, the divisions will be within and around cities, between suburban lefties and rural conservatives, etc. For now, it’s mainly the left that is getting violent over this, because they have protection from TPTB. But it won’t always be that way. Even now, you can see that county sheriffs and city cops don’t often have the same attitudes on allowing their neighbors to get beat on by outsiders, enforcing gun restrictions, and so forth. People will learn to either mind their own business or get violent reminders to do so, at some point. That point seems to be rapidly approaching, imho.
I just got back from spending a week in upstate NY, specifically in the Adirondack Mountains. I saw several “Trump 2020” and “God Bless Donald Trump” signs. Not one for any democrat. Seeing so many pro-Trump signs there in 2016 convinced me Trump had a decent chance of victory.
Now, if Trump was only Trump…..
In Noah Carl’s first tweet about beliefs about racial inequality amongst white liberals you’ll see something very interesting, from 2004 to 2018 is what I like to call the J-curve
I always wanted to be a Yankee. A New York Yankee’s shortstop or third baseman.

My Xbox one keeps breaking power supplies
Hello. I have an Xbox one and it keeps breaking power supplies. My first power supply broke and I figured it was the power supply going. Then I bought another one and it worked until I shut it the Xbox off. When I went to turn back on the Xbox the power supply was red and was making a clicking noise. I figured this was a faulty power supply so I went to GameStop and returned it for another one. Then I came back home and plugged in the new power supply and played for a couple hours. Then I shut it off. When I came back it was doing the same thing. It was red and making a clicking noise and the Xbox will not turn off. Wtf is going on??

The European Commission is consulting on measures to tackle the rise in fake medicines. Although the measures may be costly, they are certainly welcome
Emeritus Professor of Healthcare Development
University of Sheffield
HOPE (European Hospital and Healthcare Federation)
Counterfeit medicines are a growing threat to public health, according to the European Commission (EC). There has been a sharp increase in the amount of counterfeit medicines seized at EU borders. And counterfeiters are adding lifesaving drugs to their more traditional focus on lifestyle drugs: fake drugs for treating cancer, heart disease and mental health problems. These often have a significantly lower quantity of active ingredient than that declared.
Another trend is for counterfeiters to attempt to insert their products into traditional supply chains, including authorised wholesalers, parallel traders and pharmacies that deal with high volumes. The UK Medicines Agency reported that the number of incidents affecting the regular distribution chain has steadily increased since 2004, with counterfeit medicine reaching patients on nine occasions and necessitating batch recalls. The agency discovered a further five cases at wholesale level. Targeted product recalls are very difficult, if not impossible, with counterfeit products. Product integrity may also be put at risk when manufactured packs are opened for repackaging and relabelling.
The EC has identified a number of areas of regulation that need to be tightened as a means of providing a higher level of protection against counterfeit drugs. One idea in the consultation paper is to make all the actors in the distribution chain subject to pharmaceutical legislation, including brokers and agents who do not actually handle products but act via business-to-business platforms. Supply-chain inspections need to be strengthened, including those in countries outside the EU which manufacture drugs for sale in Europe.
A unique manufacturers’ seal is also proposed, supported by a ban on repackaging which includes outer packaging. There could also be a unique and centrally available record to facilitate traceability of batches throughout the supply chain. This “centrally available pedigree” should help trace back products when there is cause for suspicion, as well as quality defects or when there are relevant pharmacovigilance reports. Identifying which specific organisation has handled a specific pack at a specific point in the supply chain will require mass serialisation of products, but this could be limited to products judged to be at highest risk of counterfeiting.
The manufacture of active ingredients is also targeted for tighter control, including introduction of a mandatory notification procedure. Unannounced inspections of active-substances manufacturers are also planned; this will extend to manufacturers outside the EU.
If implemented, these ideas will certainly make the introduction of counterfeit products into supply chains more difficult. However, there is a substantial cost in increased bureaucracy and policing which will eventually work its way through to higher drug prices for health providers and consumers. Within the EU, draconian penalties could be agreed for convicted counterfeiters. Counterfeiters operating outside the EU are more difficult to handle but full public exposure and loss of all business will help, as would intergovernmental agreements on how to deal with convicted criminals.
Manufacturing and selling counterfeit medicines is a truly evil business. The pharmaceutical industry has welcomed the EC’s consultation. ■

SINGAPORE (PRWEB) October 27, 2016
In “Behind the Smiles: An African Odyssey” (published by Partridge Singapore) Dr. Rilly Ray Rajkumar provides a compelling and earnest window into her time serving as a volunteer medical doctor outside one of Kenya’s most impoverished cities.
Offering both a history and analysis of the poverty and plight of Kenya, as well as a collection of engaging narratives recounting her personal interactions with her most memorable patients, Rajkumar vividly depicts the heart-wrenching reality of poverty as well as the joy and hope that even just one person can bring to an entire village in need of their support.
“My main aim is to touch the hearts of the readers to provide help to the poor in Kenya,” Rajkumar on why she shares this book. She believes in Julia A. F. Carney’s words that, “Little drops of water and little grains of sand make a mighty ocean and a pleasant land.”
On what her volunteer work has taught her:
“When I saw the state of the poor in the slums in 2008 that touched my heart and I said to myself 'God has given me so much of skills and education and multiple faculties to read and think etc, I should do my part in sharing some of this to help the poor. That is part of my duty in my life.”

Egypt's newly sworn-in president vowed Sunday that there would be no reconciliation with anyone who had "committed crimes" or "adopted violence" against Egyptians, a thinly veiled reference to the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi was addressing a gathering at a Cairo presidential palace hours after he was sworn in as Egypt's president before the Supreme Constitutional Court.


Editorial: Texas A&M-Concho Engineering Academy at Midland College will mean so much to Midland
Thursday will be a good day for Texas A&M and Concho Resources, but it is a great day for Midland College and our community.
We are excited about the Texas A&M-Concho Engineering Academy at Midland College and what it means for students in West Texas. Our city, region and state need more engineers, and the academy addresses that need, while providing a service to students who might not be ready to call College Station home or who might want to save money.
We are just as excited about the partnerships involved. Texas A&M is increasing its footprint in West Texas, and there is nothing wrong with that. When Midland College partners with other institutions of higher learning, our young people benefit the most. They have more options when they graduate from high school or decide to re-enter the college setting. Midland College has forged those partnerships, and the school is better for it. Our community also benefits with a more-educated workforce.
Another partnership is with Concho Resources and Midland College. Our community needs more partnerships like this. As we have seen recently, partnerships with higher education can pay off big for Midland. An example is the child psychiatry clinic that is a partnership between Texas Tech Health Sciences Center and the Midland Development Corp.
Concho also recently partnered with the city of Midland and Scharbauer Foundation to fund Centennial Park, which will be next to the under-construction Midland Convention Center.
Again, we are pleased Texas A&M made the decision to open its first engineering academy west of the Interstate 35 corridor. Leach was right when he said the Permian Basin is responsible for putting so much money into the Permanent University Fund, which supports A&M and the University of Texas, and that putting a little of that back into the Permian “seems like the right thing to do.”
We also know that Leach, a member of A&M’s board of regents, played a big role in making the Texas A&M-Concho Engineering Academy at Midland College a reality -- from approaching Midland College about the idea to having Concho involved financially in the academy.
Lastly, educational options such as the engineering academy make MC even more relevant in our community, which is a great thing. Midland College has served our community since the 1970s. Partnering with the likes of Texas A&M, Texas Tech University and the University of Texas of the Permian Basin guarantees that MC will remain vital to the community.

Back on July 18, 1963, as the AFS [see below] students who had spent their high school year in the United States, were preparing to go back to their countries, they got to visit the White House. JFK talked to them.
It would be another 11 years before I had the privilege to be chosen as an AFS student. I arrived in the United States two weeks after Nixon’s resignation on August 20, 1974. Our group did not get to visit the White House when we went home in July of 1975.
All my life I have been proud to have been an AFS student and to carry the mission forward of spreading peace in the world, one person at a time.
It’s gotten a little more difficult in recent years.

Lowe’s Smart Home VP Envisions Universally Compatible Hubs
In the mist of a flurry of activity by a myriad companies to develop smart home devices and hubs, the man at the head of Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW) smart home division has a surprising prediction for how the market will evolve in the next three to five years: the smart home will get a lot simpler.
Re/Code’s Lauren Goode spoke with Kevin Meagher, vice president and general manager of the smart home division at Lowe’s. Meagher says that the announcement of new smart home platforms and systems — like those by SmartThings, Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Nest and Dropcam, and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) — are all good news for the industry, and for the smart home as a concept. He says that open standards and an integrated user interface are a necessary development, and “fundamental to the whole idea of the smart home.”
Even as more companies begin to offer smart home systems and devices, it’s the development of industry standards that will unify the experience for customers — and prevent the fragmentation that’s caused by companies trying to get users to buy into their exclusive ecosystem. Meagher tells Goode:
“In the past, everyone thought they could own the consumer, that the consumer would buy everything they sell. There’s still a lot of that around, sadly, a lot of that thinking. But actually, most people — and this is the way we’re thinking and the way Apple is going forward, although less clear around Google — but the idea is to give users a single interface and a single app and let them choose what they want to buy.”
Meagher continues: “I’ll give a good example. The problem is that no consumer wants to walk up to their house and open up one app to control their door lock, another to control the thermostat, another to control the lighting — that’s just crazy. And manufacturers have been thinking, this is a great way to get consumers to buy more of our products. So we’ve got this walled garden of devices that will work.
But as soon as consumers buy into a walled garden, it isn’t long before they realize, ‘Here’s a cool camera or garage-door switch I really like, but it doesn’t work with the stuff I’ve already got.’ And that’s what’s keeping people from buying more into the market.”
Meagher notes that Lowe’s is comfortable with the idea of selling devices that will work on Apple’s platform, because the company views a move towards the standardization of device communication as inevitable. The company is betting on Zigbee, Z-wave and Wi-Fi as the wireless standards that underpin smart home systems, and will also selectively include Bluetooth connectivity in the future. Meagher envisions smart homes relying on a hub or a server as an equalizer, of sorts, to reconcile the different communication standards used by a home’s assortment of devices.
“It doesn’t matter if everything is Wi-Fi-connected. It connects somehow to a hub or to a server in the cloud. Individual devices can connect in different ways. If you look at Wi-Fi as French, but your door lock speaks German, or Zigbee, that translation can occur in the server.”
The concept of that kind of open, universally compatible hub is similar to what’s currently offered by Revolv, a company that makes what it calls the “most powerful home automation Hub on Earth.” The Revolv features seven radios — Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Insteon, Zigbee, and three others — and supports devices by Belkin, Insteon, Philips, SONOS, Yale, Honeywell (NYSE:HON), Trane, Cooper Wiring Devices, GE (NYSE:GE), Leviton, Aeon Labs, Schlage, Kwikset, and Somfy. It also unofficially supports the Nest thermostat, and currently works with iOS, with an Android app on the way.
Meagher envisions hubs like the Revolv gaining ground in the next three to five years, and the Iris Smart Home Management System by Lowe’s is also compatible with a wide variety of devices — effectively unbundling the smart home to let users pick and choose which devices they want to use, without worrying about who manufactures what, or which communication standard a given device uses.
Meagher also notes that one aspect of the smart home that’s currently overlooked is the potential for safety features: “In the future, you will be picking devices that you don’t want the kids to touch until you get home. Get on with your homework — you can’t touch Xbox until I get home. I have literally looked at solutions that stop kids from playing with Xbox. Or that don’t let the kids play with the stove when you’re not there.”
“Two-thirds of what I’ve described is already out there,” Meagher tells Goode. In the next three to five years, he expects the rest of the ideas to be realized and on the market as well — and that includes more simple and universal solutions to control whichever assortment of smart home devices a user chooses.


The classic Latin chant about Christmas, O Magnum Mysterium, has been set to music by many distinguished composers over the centuries, ranging from Palestrina to John Harbison. Morten Lauridsen’s 1994 version has since gone on to be a modern-day classic and the best selling chorale octavo ever sold by the Theodore Presser Company.
As absolutely amazing as the Lauridsen motet is — especially as sung by the Los Angeles Master Chorale, who also happened to sing the world premiere of the work — my favorite continues to be the one by Tomás Luis de Victoria composed about 400 years earlier. Enjoy this performance by The Cambridge Singers, and have a very Merry Christmas!
- O magnum mysterium, et admirabile sacramentum,
- ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, jacentem in praesepio!
- Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Christum.
- O great mystery, and wonderful sacrament,
- that animals should see the new-born Lord, lying in a manger!
- Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear Christ the Lord.
Reblogged this on Basil Wheel.
It seems appropriate that during this season of regifting i have just learned a new word – reblogging.
Haha. Excellent. Hope you’re having a wonderful holidays, MarK!!

Being intimate with some body, not actually dating them, is recognized as starting up.
Setting up doesn’t indicate sex that is having. It may also suggest kissing or making away. Hook ups are a one-time thing or a thing that takes place over and over again because of the same individual. Here’s what you ought to understand.
Psychological risks of setting up
Setting up with somebody may be exciting, nonetheless it can be emotionally confusing. You might maybe perhaps not know very well what each other wishes through the connect and it will be possible for either individual to feel upset or harmed afterward.
Here are a few what to consider in terms of setting up:
- Objectives: what exactly are you hoping you can do as being outcome associated with the attach? If you prefer a relationship because of the other individual, think of how you’ll feel if they’re only enthusiastic about setting up. Ensure you both agree in what you would like.
- Force: some people connect given that it may seem like most people are carrying it out. If you think pressured, provide yourself time and energy to consider what you need.
Real security and setting up
It’s important to also think about your physical security whenever preparing a connect. Here are a few points to consider:
- Your limits: understand what you may be and so are maybe maybe not prepared to do together with your human body. It is always okay to state no or replace your head at any point.
- Location: avoid starting up in secluded places, particularly if it is with someone you don’t know perfectly.
- Backup: inform a friend that is close you’ll be and whom you’ll be with. In the event that you feel uncomfortable, phone your buddy for back-up. You might like to pose a question to your buddy to phone you at a certain time and energy to verify you’re okay. You can call 911 if you feel unsafe or threatened and need immediate help.

The Prime Minister intervened after being told the department did not plan to introduce new immigration rules for at least two years following Brexit.
She rejected pleas from senior Whitehall officials that the new system would not be ready in time.
Mrs May wants to ensure that EU migrants who arrive after March 29, 2019 do not get the automatic right to settle permanently in the country – currently available under Brussels’ free movement rules.
News of Mrs May’s decision was being seen last night as confirmation that Downing Street is increasing efforts to secure Britain’s borders for Brexit.
Theresa May overruled Home Office civil servants to curb migration during the Brexit transition
The Home Office announced that a new system of registration will be ready in time for March 2019
The work has barely begun and I don’t think anyone has any confidence that such a new system can be ready for March next year
It follows warnings from the Migration Watch think-tank that around a million more EU citizens could get rights to settle in the UK permanently if new border rules are delayed for two years after Britain’s departure.
“The Home Office announced last summer that the system of registration would be introduced for people arriving after March 2019 – that work is well under way,” a Downing Street spokesman said.
“We are confident it will be finished on time.”
He was responding to suggestions from Whitehall sources that work on the new system was lagging behind.
Mr Rees-Mogg said delays to a new system would be an 'admission of incompetence' at the Home Office
One Government source had said: “That work has barely begun and I don’t think anyone has any confidence that such a new system can be ready for March next year.”
But senior Conservative backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg, chairman of the 60-strong European Reform Group of Eurosceptic MPs, rejected the claims about Home Secretary Amber Rudd’s department.
He said: “If this were true, it would be a sad admission of incompetence at the Home Office and it would be hard to believe that someone as efficient as Amber Rudd would accept such a sorry state of affairs.”
The Home Office said: “The Prime Minister has been clear that during the implementation period there will be a registration system for EU citizens coming to the UK.
“The precise details of the implementation period are currently being negotiated with the EU, but planning is well under way.”
Mrs May will deliver a speech on post-Brexit UK-EU security soon and will complete the process in three weeks’ time with an address on the overall relationship following a Cabinet withdrawal committee summit.

Remember that time Vladimir Nabokov pitched Alfred Hitchcock a melodramatic love story about a girl and an astronaut? No? Read all about it.
The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them, the forthcoming debut effort by sometime Millions contributor Elif Batuman, gets an intriguing write-up in Publishers Weekly.
“Publishing is a word that, like the book, is almost but not quite a proxy for the ‘business of literature.’ Current accounts of publishing have the industry about as imperiled as the book, and the presumption is that if we lose publishing, we lose good books. Yet what we have right now is a system that produces great literature in spite of itself.” Twenty-first century publishing works in mysterious ways.
According to The Secret Literary Life of Augusto Pinochet author Cristóbal Peña, the Chilean dictator “was tormented by an intense inferiority complex, which he tried to deal with by collecting books.” A recent article in The New York Times provides a look at that book collection, which totaled around 50,000 books and has been valued at around $3 million.

Church and culture — the imagination as a means of grace…
“The Christian church has been guilty of a great abdication.”
Somehow, we’ve forgotten that art, beauty, and the imagination are important to the life of the Church—to the life of the Church as the Church and to the life of the Church as it lives in the world. It’s this unfortunate situation that Leland Ryken seeks to reverse in a stimulating article entitled “The Imagination as a Means of Grace.”
We erroneously think that our world view consists only of ideas. It is a world picture as well as a world view, that is, set of ideas.
A Christian world view consists of the doctrines of the Apostles’ Creed, but equally important is the Christian world picture that guides our life. We are influenced in our Christian lives by pictures of Cain and Abel, Mary and Martha, Ruth and Boaz, as well as doctrines of providence and justice.
[T]he Bible, as our supreme embodiment of the truth by which we need to live, and as our supreme model to follow in our own efforts at expressing God’s truth and beauty, communicates God’s truth and beauty in all possible ways. It does so, moreover, with obvious artistry. We need to lay to rest the heresy that God’s work is never artistic.
Ryken reminds us that God’s work includes the arts since the Church is given a “cultural command as well as a missionary command.”
The Christian church must be active on every front in our society—in science, in economics, in education, in politics, in the arts, in the media. God gave his followers a cultural command as well as a missionary command. We should not set these up as rivals. To relinquish our presence in any cultural area only weakens the Christian voice in our culture as a whole and makes evangelism all the more difficult. Our attitude toward the arts says something about the God we proclaim, and I fear that we often send the wrong signal to our culture
Three biblical principles undergird Leland Ryken’s argument that “the imagination can be a means of grace”:
- Creation: “[T]he Christian doctrine of creation assures us that human creativity can be honoring to God. God himself created a world that is artistically beautiful and delightful as well as utilitarian.”
- The intrinsic value of art: “The artistic imagination is free to be itself. What it produces under the guidance of God is good in itself. The robe of Aaron tells us that. We read that the embellishment of Aaron’s priestly garment was ‘for glory and for beauty’ (Exodus 28:2).”
- The truth of the imagination: “The Westminster Confession of Faith defines providence thus: ‘God the Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things. …’ That is one way to grasp providence. Psalm 23 fills our imaginations with the images that comprise the daily routine of a shepherd and his sheep. That is another way by which we grasp providence.”
Having put forward a very positive case for the imagination, Ryken properly qualifies his “enthusiasm for the arts and the artistic imagination as one of God’s great gifts to the human race.” He acknowledges that the “imagination and the arts did not escape the effects of the Fall. The imagination is neither more nor less depraved than the mind, the will, and the emotions.” He also points out that the visual arts do not escape criticism in Scripture, as in the case of the golden calf which was the instrument of idolatry in Exodus 32.
To return to my positive thrust, then, the imagination, though capable of fallen ends and means, remains in principle one of God’s good gifts to the human race, to Christians individually, and to the Church. It was intended to be, and it can still be, a means of grace.

The Euro Payoff: Germany's Economic Advantages from a Large and Diverse Euro Area
Peterson Institute for International Economics
March 3, 2011
The ongoing euro crisis has led Germany's political leadership, as well as many citizens of Germany and neighboring countries, to feel that Germany is once again sacrificing its economic interests in service of European unity. In reality, however, Germany has reaped great economic benefits over the last dozen years from being the anchor economy of the Euro Area, and has done so especially during the crisis. The federal treasury gets a direct payoff through seigniorage; German businesses enjoy lower transaction costs, deeper trade, and lower interest rates; and consumers benefit from lower prices and greater variety—all of these benefits increase with the size of the Euro Area. More importantly, the monetary union shields Germany from currency shocks abroad and enables the country to run a sustained trade surplus with its European neighbors, both of which are particularly beneficial during global contraction. These advantages only increase with diversity of the Euro Area. Posen argues that Germany is losing sight of how diversity in the Euro Area leads to the advantages it enjoys, and thus is pursuing a self-defeating policy approach to force countries to be more like Germany that will not increase the euro's long-term resilience or attractiveness. The situation is analogous to the transfer problem Germany suffered from the other side in the 1920s—increasing austerity on over-indebted economies will just lead to losses, and the lenders must restructure the debt and allow the borrowers to export. The best German long-term response to the euro crisis in its own economic self-interest is to pursue greater fiscal integration and stricter bank regulation within the Euro Area, and thereby finance Euro Area adjustment over the long term, not to impose additional macro rules and austerity.

Just hours after the DC Circuit affirmed the order requiring Scooter Libby to face jail time pending the appeal of his conviction, President Bush used the presidential pardon power to commute Libby’s sentence, thus sparing him jail time while leaving in place the conviction – in other words, an unsentenced conviction for a victimless crime:
President Bush Monday spared former vice presidential aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby from going to prison for 2 1/2 years for obstructing the CIA leak investigation, a White House official said.
The official said Bush “has commuted the prison sentence … leaving intact the probation and fines handed down by the court.”
“That means he is not going to jail,” the official said.
Now, we get to hear what Hillary Clinton thinks about the proper uses of the pardon power and whether losing your high position in federal office is insufficient punishment for perjury.
UPDATE: What do I mean by “victimless crime”? Libby was convicted for misleading an investigation into a whodunit where the investigators already knew whodunit and didn’t prosecute. Granted, Libby’s false statements to the FBI (unlike his grand jury testimony) preceded Fitzgerald’s appointment and Armitage’s confession, but even so, the “harm” to the investigation was pretty fleeting and had no real consequence.
I don’t underrate the seriousness of perjury, but in sentencing, or using the pardon power, you consider mitigating factors. Unlike the Paula Jones case, no individual litigant was harmed by obstruction of the discovery process. And unlike the Sandy Berger case, there was no successful coverup.

She leads Raph upstairs by the hand, a strange sort of gleam in her eyes, a step and a half ahead of him. She reaches his door and throws it open.
...The room there is most pointedly not his room. The walls are plaster, for one, instead of cinderblock, and it's... well... it's a lot bigger. There's a family picture above a bowl with two goldfish, and a slightly shabby but very comfortable couch. And lots of stuffed animals. A few books and a crude vase on a coffee table. And a stereo. With records. All in all, it's a very cute, very comfortable little place.
The girl stalking the room, however, could be described as 'peeved.'

Hitler's last bodyguard gives up on fan mail
BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - More than 65 years after World War Two, Adolf Hitler's last surviving bodyguard says that he can no longer respond to the continuous deluge of fan mail he receives from around the world because of his advanced age.
Rochus Misch is 93 and uses a walking frame to move around his apartment. He told the Berliner Kurier tabloid that, with most of the letters he receives asking for autographs, it was "no longer possible" to reply because of his age.
"They (letters) come from Korea, from Knoxville, Tennessee, from Finland and Iceland -- and not one has a bad word to say," said Misch, who is believed to be the last man alive to have seen Hitler and other top-ranking Nazis in the flesh.
In the past Misch used to send fans autographed copies of wartime photos of himself in a neatly pressed SS uniform. Now the incoming fan mail, including letters and packages, piles up in his flat in south Berlin's leafy Rudow neighbourhood.
Misch also served as Hitler's telephone operator and courier. His memoirs, "The Last Witness", were published in 2008 in Germany and are in the works to become a feature film.
