|"I'm going to lie to everybody about this meeting and there is nothing you can do to stop me!"|
Courtesy of TPM:
Out of the three officials who met President Obama on an airport tarmac near Phoenix earlier this week, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) is now the only one who has characterized the president as anything other than cordial.
In numerous TV and radio interviews since the meeting, Brewer has said the president was “tense to say the least” and took issue with a book she wrote last year. She said Obama walked away from her while she was in mid-sentence and even told one Phoenix television station she felt “a little bit threatened” by the encounter.
But Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, who was standing just feet away from the president and the governor on Wednesday during their now-infamous encounter, told TPM that Obama seemed calm the whole time.
“He wasn’t tense at all,” Stanton said on Friday. “The guy’s a pro.”
Though Stanton declined to discuss exactly what the governor and president said to each other, he said Obama’s classic coolness was evident.
“He doesn’t get animated, but he looks you in the eye and tells you what he thinks,” Stanton said. “And I think that’s honestly what he did is he looked the governor in the eye and spoke and told her what he was really feeling.”
Stanton, a Democrat, is now the second elected Arizona official whose account of the incident contradicts the way Brewer has described it.
This nasty little Teabagger bitch has used this made up story to help sell her crappy, poorly written book of lies, and to get tons of media attention. But ultimately I hope that it leads to the people of Arizona deciding to call for her resignation, or calling for a recall and driving her out of office.
I know that, like Alaska, there are a lot of assholes and dipshits in Arizona, but that is also the place that voted Gabby Giffords into office. So there is certainly hope for Arizonians to come together and decide that they deserve better than to be represented by this vicious little liar.
And by the way, it is exactly THIS kind of thing that makes me forever grateful to Senator Lieberman for doing this,
And by the way for you folks in Arizona who think it may be impossible to drive Brewer out of office, let me remind you that the lady pictured above never even finished one term.
Dare to dream Arizona, dare to dream.

“Terrorism” according to what definition? With what accountability?
“US offers Pakistan government $7bn in non-military aid to fight terrorism,” by Julian Borger in The Guardian (thanks to all who sent this in):
The US has promised to curb air strikes by drones against suspected militants in Pakistan, as part of a joint counter-terrorism strategy agreed with the new civilian government in Islamabad, the Guardian has learned. That strategy will be supported by an aid package potentially worth more than $7bn (Â£3.55bn), which is due to go before Congress for approval in the next few months.
The package would triple the amount of American non-military aid to Pakistan, and is aimed at “redefining” the bilateral relationship, US officials say.
Pakistan will also be given a “democracy dividend” of up to $1bn, a reward for holding peaceful elections and forming a coalition government. Of that, $200m could be approved in the next few days.
The aid package, being put together by the Democratic senator Joseph Biden, will mark a decisive break in US policy on Pakistan, which for much of the past nine years focused on President Pervez Musharraf and the Pakistani military as Washington’s primary partners in the “war on terror”. Officials in Washington said yesterday that the shift had already been made.
“Senator Biden wants to show the relationship is much broader than a military one, and that we are willing to sustain it over time,” one of the senator’s senior aides said yesterday.
A US administration official said: “Each day Musharraf’s influence becomes less and less. Civilians are in control. People aren’t meeting with Musharraf any more … we are very pleased with the new civilian government.”
Pakistani officials say much of the new counter-terrorism aid will be spent on civilian law enforcement institutions, such as the interior ministry, the intelligence bureau and the federal investigation agency, rather than being channelled almost exclusively through the army and the military-run Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) organisation….

In North Korea’s effort to become a nuclear power capable of striking the United States and its allies, leader Kim Jong Un has telegraphed what his scientists and weapons experts are achieving. Over the past two years, the country has moved from a fledgling nuclear program to possessing the technology to at least strike the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam.
On Tuesday, the isolated nation fired a missile over Japan, one of Washington’s biggest allies in the region, prompting warnings to residents to take cover.
Most Western experts accept that North Korea is close to putting a nuclear warhead on an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that can reach the continental United States, but this has not been independently verified.
Here are 10 of the major steps leading to the standoff between North Korea and the United States.
Jan. 6, 2016
After four years in power, Kim Jong Un says his country can produce a hydrogen bomb, the first step toward a nuclear weapon that could target the United States. The nation tests a device, but Western experts are not convinced it is a genuine hydrogen bomb.
Feb. 7, 2016
North Korea sends up a satellite. The United States calls this a disguised test of an engine powerful enough to launch an ICBM.
March 9, 2016
North Korea claims it can miniaturize a nuclear device to fit onto a missile.
June 23, 2016
North Korea says it has successfully tested an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), with a range of 2,000 to 3,400 miles. Kim Jong Un claims the country can now attack “Americans in the Pacific operation theater,” including the territory of Guam.
Sept. 9, 2016
North Korea conducts its fifth and largest nuclear test on the anniversary of the country’s founding. It says it has mastered the ability to mount a warhead on a ballistic missile.
April 15, 2017
North Korea reveals a new ICBM design, displaying the missiles at a military parade to mark the birthday of founding leader Kim Il Sung. Within three months, the missiles are tested.
July 4, 2017
North Korea tests an ICBM for the first time, saying it can launch a missile that can reach the continental United States. The missile, Hwasong-14, is tested again three weeks later, this time in a night launch.
Aug. 8 2017
North Korea’s army threatens to fire missiles toward Guam in an “enveloping fire.” The message comes hours after President Donald Trump warns Pyongyang that it will be “met with fire and fury” if North Korea does not stop threatening the United States.
Aug. 23 2017
North Korea publishes photographs of Kim beside a diagram of what appears to be a new ICBM. Weapons experts say it will be more powerful than the missiles tested by Pyongyang in July, and could have Washington and New York within range.
Aug. 29, 2017
North Korea fires an intermediate-range missile over northern Japan, prompting warnings to residents to take cover. The missile falls into the Pacific Ocean, but sharply raises tensions in the region.

Because addiction affects every facet of someone’s life, each area has to be restored to health. Drug addiction is among the very best killers on the planet today, and its presence is too recognized in the majority of neighborhoods across the nation and about the world. Alcohol and medicine addiction are self-destructive behaviors.
Patients can get treatment in many diverse settings with assorted approaches. They receive individualized care using a 12 step based program, allowing them to find the strength to regain control of their lives. Patients who don’t get any additional treatment after detoxification usually resume their drug usage.
Addiction is recognized by the health care community for a disease. Drug and alcohol addiction takes priority in someone’s life, making them quit engaging in activities like hobbies, sports and socializing. Drug addiction is a severe disease which requires treatment to conserve the life span of the afflicted person. It affects more than 23 million Americans, according to the federal government, and so treatment specialists have come to realize that a variety of approaches are needed to combat the problem.
Folks beat their addictions each day, using both inpatient therapy programs and outpatient programs. A drug addiction is frequently an extremely tough problem to overcome all on your own. There are lots of drug addiction rehabs to pick from, one of which is ideal for you.

I just purchased a Teac A-3440 off of ebay. I cued up a quad reel on it, and no sound comes out of the unit, at all, except for a hum when in sync mode. I have jumpers in the input/output sections for dbx encoding and decoding, since I won't be using that, so that should be bypassed. I have the outputs turned up. I have it in playback mode. No matter what I do, the tape moves, the thing turns on, but no audio will playback, and the meters won't move, not in playback or sync mode. Is there some funky setting this thing requires to work, or is this DOA?

Microneedling is actually a very old treatment, performed by doctors and treatment specialists in various parts of the world for centuries. However, the science behind this cosmetic skin rejuvenation procedure has advanced significantly in just the past few decades. Newer approaches to the procedure and efficiently devices have made this a popular treatment for skin blemishes. Acne scars and injury scars are prominent because the tissues that form the superficial scars keep reproducing themselves. Consider them permanently damaged, that is unless a means to stimulate healthy replacement tissue is employed. This is the idea behind microneedling. Purposely creating what are known as channel wounds is how the body creates healthier tissue.
Problems with Skin Blemishes
Most types of blemishes are caused by skin cells that keep dividing into daughter cells that have the same damages as the originals. Scarring along an old incision line is a good example. So are blemishes that exist for years after we burn our finger. The same is true with acne scarring.
Microneedling can help minimize the appearance of these scars through the creation of channel wounds. Channel wounds are tiny micro-openings that aren’t very wide and don’t go very deep. Indeed, they only penetrate to the lower dermal layers. Because there is an abundance of healthier tissue in between the wounds, the body has a good blueprint from which to work when creating healthier replacement cells.
The damaged skin cannot be completely replaced by healthy, new growth because even the skin that is unaffected by the channel wound creation is itself partially damaged. That is to say, it’s also part of the blemish. However, the body sends a great deal of nutrients including blood rich with platelets and other growth factors to accelerate replacement tissue growth. In the long-run, the newer skin growth is full of collagen, is more supple than what it replaced, and is less hyperpigmented.
In the months following the procedure, collagen production in the affected area has increased significantly, so the skin will soon become more supple in appearance. The more even tone results in a diminished appearance of any scarring or other forms of hyperpigmentation. Microneedling is effective on many areas of the body, not just the face.
Get More Information About Microneedling
You don’t have to put up with acne scars, injury scars, or age spots. Microneedling is a safe procedure that results in smoother, more evenly-toned skin. We’ll tell you all about it during your consultation with at Eminence Medical Aesthetics in Princeton. Contact us today to schedule an appointment!

Let me set the scene here. You're looking at your walls and they're looking a bit bare. And you think to yourself, "You know? The right piece of art would totally pull this room together."

The above is an A5(ish) picture I made for my friend Sparrow (webmistress and translator of 鬼愛～Demon Passion～ - go there for JP-ENG translations of ghost stories!)
It features some of her original characters.
I used watercolours and took the opportunity to use some more masking fluid, albeit only a little! After painting, I went over the lines with a fineliner, so I guess it's more of an illustration, but I'm counting this towards my goal of 52 in a year (goal #55 on The List).

A top member of Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel's transition team abruptly resigned after the Tribune inquired about recent findings that she violated state ethics rules by using taxpayer resources for political purposes while serving as executive director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education.When I worked for the Illinois legislature back in the 1980s, Erwin worked as the press secretary for former Indiana Senate President Phil Rock. For someone who had a reputation for being savvy in media relations, she sure managed to embarrass her friend on the heels of his big mayoral victory this past week. "In an interview with the Tribune, Erwin said she got careless while she was very busy at work, cooperated with investigators and hoped her 30 years of history in state government would outweigh the ruling," the Tribute reported. "She said neither Emanuel nor his campaign was aware of the issue before Friday." It's hard to believe nobody knew about the ethics investigation that prompted her abrupt departure from her state job last year or had notice the publicly-available ethics report issued earlier this month. Matters like that don't remain a secret in state government, particularly when it involves someone as high profile as Erwin is.
Judy Erwin, a former state lawmaker who also co-chaired Emanuel's mayoral campaign, stepped down from her high-level state job last summer, was fined and promised to never seek a state job after conceding that she conducted political business on state time, according to a newly filed ethics report.
Erwin admitted using her office e-mail and phone while working on a campaign committee for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, using staff resources to plan her trip to the 2008 Democratic National Convention and engaging in campaign fundraising activity while on the job, the state's Executive Ethics Commission ruled in a decision filed Feb. 16.
The state report went largely unnoticed, however, and Erwin told the Tribune she had not informed Emanuel of the findings before Friday, when the newspaper began its inquiries. She had been named to Emanuel's seven-member transition team just a day earlier.
Erwin's quick departure represents an early embarrassment for an incoming administration that gained a decisive victory last week after campaigning on themes that included bringing further ethics reforms to a city long known for its history of government corruption.
On Saturday, Emanuel spokesman Ben LaBolt said that no decision had been made on whether to replace Erwin on the transition team.
"Judy Erwin is a friend of Rahm's with a wealth of experience and he'll continue to consult her public policy knowledge," LaBolt said in a statement issued late Friday.
LaBolt said members of the transition team had been vetted. But he said the mayor-elect's team had not seen the Executive Ethics Commission report, which was filed days before the mayoral election. Earlier this month, Erwin also was named a managing director of ASGK Public Strategies, the former public affairs consulting firm of David Axelrod, who worked with then-chief of staff Emanuel in the Obama White House.
The ethics commission said Erwin cooperated with the investigation by the executive inspector general, reimbursed the state, agreed to pay a $4,000 fine and promised to never work for the state again. She resigned Aug. 15.
The fact Emanuel could care less about her past transgressions until the media made a big deal of it should come as no surprise. The Tribune's John Kass has written a lot in the past about how Emanuel illegally utilized city workers to work on the city's dime during his first run for political office as a U.S. Representative representing Chicago. In Illinois, Democrats have a tradition of using government workers to do political work on their behalf. In the case of Erwin, she was even having staff at the Board of Higher Education assist her in fundraising for a state representative that chaired the committee overseeing higher education. "The atmosphere for IBHE employees must have been heavily colored by Ms. Erwin's political activity on the job," the ethics board said. It found "particularly troubling" her explanation that she made a campaign contribution to a state representative who was the chairman of the higher education appropriations committee: "This suggests that she was responding to a real or imagined pay to play incentive within state government."
I suspect if the news media would have done the type of investigative reporting they subjected Sarah Palin to during the 2008 campaign, they would have uncovered multiple examples of government workers in Illinois like Erwin using their state offices and work hours to assist Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Erwin was not only close to Emanuel, but she had also worked for David Axelrod, Obama's media guru. It is particularly disappointing that the U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's Office in Chicago has given a complete pass to the multiple examples of illegal conduct involving both Emanuel and Obama, while going after their flunky former Gov. Rod Blagojevich with a vengeance. His office covered up how political fixer Tony Rezko was stuffing money in Obama's pocket at the same time he was engaged in pay-to-play shenanigans with Blagojevich. Fitzgerald's prosecutors also prevented evidence of Emanuel's and Obama's involvement in the appointment of Obama's senate successor from seeing the light of day. Blagojevich's lawyers are now fighting to get that evidence in, including recorded phone conversations, in his retrial on public corruption charges by Fitzgerald's office--evidence the government's lawyers successfully suppressed in his last trial. It will be interesting to see if any prosecutor brings charges against Erwin for her admitted crimes.

Business Rates - Who pays business rates and how are they calculated
Who pays Business rates?
The occupier of any non-domestic assessment is responsible for paying the Business rates.
Business rates are generally payable in respect of unoccupied non-domestic property. However, they are generally not payable for the first three months that a property is empty. This is extended to six months in the case of certain other properties (for example industrial premises or listed buildings). Full details on exemptions can be obtained from your local authority or from gov.uk at https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-business-rate-relief
How are Business rates calculated?
Business rates payable on each property are based on the rateable value of that property. The rateable value is assessed by the Valuation Office Agency, which is an agency of HM Revenue and Customs. A property's rateable value is an assessment of the annual rent the property would rent for if it were available to let on the open market at a fixed valuation date.
- Until 31 March 2017, the rateable values will be based on a valuation date of 1 April 2008.
- From 1 April 2017, the rateable values will be based on a valuation date of 1 April 2015.
This rateable value is multiplied by a multiplier (expressed as a poundage) which is set by the government each year to determine the amount of business rates you have to pay.
For 2020-2021 the multiplier is £0.512p. If the property qualifies as a small business the multiplier is reduced to £0.499p. We then calculate whether your assessment is subject to any transitional phasing, reliefs and exemptions that you may be entitled to.
If you think your rateable value is incorrect, you can find and view your property details at www.gov.uk/correct-your-business-rates
Did you know?
Where organisations apply for relief they will be granted (or not granted) relief or reductions in line with the following policy. Discretionary Non-Domestic Rate Relief information

without doing your own DD. All the bagholding longs here are desperate to get you to invest so they can sell and get out. They try things like posting rumors of a buyout everyday or calling bottoms for the past few months even though the stock clearly keeps falling. Now there is a new star nazi on this forum giving all pumper posts 5 stars and all "basher" post 1 star. The more money they are down the worse they are. These guys clearly only want new rimmtards to take their place and nothing they post is the truth.
Dont listen to the liar longs pumping this garbage. Down another 6% while they still talk of buyouts and new subscribers. They will make up anything to try to sucker people into the stock like they where. These longs are pure 100% scum.
What is this doing on page 2 while all the scumbag liar longs post are at the top. Remember potential investors ALL longs have lost money in this stock and that is why they must lie to try and trick you into losing money like they have. Dont share their pain.
Dont let thieve longs steal your money without looking into this stock yourself. These ba$-/TARDS will say anything to try to get you to share in the pain they are feeling. Truth is with this trading so near the 52 week low ALL LONGS HAVE LOST MONEY IN THIS STOCK. Yup think about it for a minute. When a stock makes new 52 week lows every week then everyone who has invested in it has lost money. 100% losers. You would have had to put your money in this stock way back in like 2003 to even be even at this point.
Hahaha the star nazi was quick on this one. Listen potential RIMM investors these pumpers are the scum of the earth. Every single one of them would gladly sell today if they could break even. Its no longer an investment for them its a prison for their money.

BMW Launched an “Affordable” X5 Variant In India
The 2014 BMW X5 made its debut at the Delhi Auto Expo and was subsequently launched at Rs 70.9 lakh towards the end of May. Moving ahead, BMW has now launched a more “affordable” variant called the Expedition at Rs 64.9 Lakh i.e. gap of Rs 6 lakh. While the car still boasts of the xDrive’s abilities there are certain cut backs, like, the base variant is available only as a five-seater.
Besides the third row of seat, the X5 Expedition also misses out on a few creature comforts like the BMW Apps, handwriting recognition system, navigation system, built-in hard drive and the 16-speaker music system, which has been replaced with a 9-speaker unit. BMW has also skimped on the launch control and electric seats with lumbar support while the wood finish in the interiors has been restricted to the American Oak trim only.
Additionally, the BMW X5 Expedition gets bi-xenon headlamps instead of adaptive LED units; there are no LED fog lamps. The gearbox is a standard Steptronic 8-speed unit instead of the Steptronic Sport version used in the more expensive X5.
But open the bonnet and the X5 Expedition is as powerful as the XDrive version. It continues to house the 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder diesel engine which produces 258bhp and 560Nm of torque. The X5 is quite powerful, churning out 190 KW at 4000 rpm. It’s also equipped with a twin-power turbo, six-cylinder 3L diesel engine. Thanks to torque of 560Nm, it sprints 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds with a top speed of 230 km/h.
The driver can choose to drive in four modes – ECOPRO, Comfort, Sport and Sport+ and the X5 is aided by adaptive suspension. The list of safety features includes attention assist/lane departure warning, front and side airbags for all passengers, Cornering Braking Control system, Dynamic Stability and many more.
The X5 expedition, just as it is in the case of the X5 xdrive,will be locally assembled at the company’s facility in Chennai. The main focus at this time for BMW, while launching the base variant with competitive price tag, is to attempt to increase its volumes by capturing a wider range of audience and giving its competitors, the Audi Q7 and the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, a run for their money.

The establishment of the Oxford Martin School is an important initiative to research the greatest global challenges facing us. I attended a featured event organised by the School, ‘Now for the Long Term’ where Sir John Beddington and Lord Rees outlined some of the short-term and long-term challenges that require urgent attention from governments worldwide. I was struck by both the degree of optimism and pessimism in tackling issues such as climate change, where it seems that scientific evidence is being superseded by political agendas. Indeed it would seem to some that many politicians are more concerned about winning elections. While science and engineering are integral to finding solutions to many of the issues facing our world, they fundamentally depend upon policy decisions, which are ultimately shaped by values. People’s worldview and values will determine how they think about solving problems and how they prioritise, and that seems to be at the heart of the problem of why we seem unable to tackle issues affecting the future existence of humanity. As Lord Rees said there is no scientific impediment to achieving a sustainable world, however we still need to overcome the gap between knowledge and effective action.
There are some deeper issues, which have to be tackled of really getting to the reason of why we are not taking on these issues with the seriousness and commitment needed. We have brilliant scientists and engineers and more are needed but if the political culture and values aren’t built upon an aspiration to discover what is true, and a culture of basing decisions upon evidence, rather than desires then it makes the task of changing our world for the better that much harder. Indeed so much of our time and energy seems to be taken up having to convince people, and even when people are confronted with overwhelming evidence there is still a reluctance to take it on board, which leaves me asking the question, why?

The Department of Defense’s (DoD) months long search for a new Chief Data Officer (CDO) is over – the new CDO will start Monday, according to the DoD press office.
Dave Spirk, a former U.S. Marine, who served most recently as the CDO for the United States’ Special Operations Command, will start as DoD CDO on June 22. Spirk will to help implement the department’s Digital Modernization Strategy released publicly last year.
“Effective data management is the central component of the department’s Digital Modernization Strategy,” said DoD CIO Dana Deasy, in a department press release. “Dave brings extensive experience and a thorough understanding of how data empowers joint, all-domain operations. I look forward to working with Dave as we create a strong data culture across the department.”
The DoD CDO reports directly to the DoD CIO and has “access to all Department of Defense data,” according to Section 903 of the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act.

Ever try drunk turkey?
You've probably heard of everything from fried turkey to turkey stuffed with chicken and duck, but have you ever heard of a drunk turkey?
On Monday, O'Casey's Tavern in New York introduced what it calls the nation's first 100-proof turkey to customers.
The restaurant says it was infused with fruit flavored and traditional vodka for three days.
And just in case that's not enough, the gravy was also laced for an extra kick.
The owner, Paul Hurley, talks about how he came up with the idea.
"And, as I was saying, about 15 years ago, Paul's mother was out from Ireland and we had just opened our first restaurant together in the Upper Westside and we had a cooked turkey and she said, 'why can't we have something different?' And since she liked vodka, I said, 'Why not?'"
The turkey comes in flavors such as peach, apple and cherry.
And the restaurant assures customers it has an ounce of vodka in every bite!

Nanofibers are a class of polymeric materials that has been highlight at the biomedical area because they exhibit high surface area and high porosity. Chitosan nanofibers have been widely used for biomedical applications due their biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. Beyond these properties, chitosan has antimicrobial properties and healing properties that are interesting for use as support to skin repair like, for example, in burns. However, although the great potential of chitosan nanofibers for biomedical applications, they present unsatisfactory mechanical properties and low resistance to water. Then, this project aims at the production and characterization of chitosan nanofibers reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals in order to obtain appropriate biological and mechanical properties for application in tissue engineering.

Damn. That was a good episode. I don’t think any actors in the cast will be getting drunk driving tickets anymore, what do you think?
What makes this show tick? What makes it run? Let’s lift up the hood and take a look. Last night’s episode is a good place to start.
Most network dramas have multiple storylines in each episode. In TV industry parlance these are often referred to as the A-story, B-story, C-story and so on. Very complex shows sometimes run up to 5-7 storylines a show, but typically this will involve only a scene or two each episode to remind the viewer of a plot thread over many episodes–a good example of this is the church which Mr. Eko seems to be building bit by bit.
Once you understand this some shows that seem really complex seem less complicated. 24, for example, typically has an A, B, C, and D storyline. In the first two seasons at least, it rotated between Jack, Kim, Pres. Palmer (or the White House) and CTU.
Last night LOST had an A-story, Ana Lucia’s search for revenge, a B-story, Michael’s return, a C-story, Ana Lucia’s trip to Australia, and a D-Story, Hurley’s attempt at a date with Libby. Don’t let the letters fool you, they don’t necessarily mean that one story line is better or more important than the others. Four storylines is a bit of an exception for LOST.
Your typical episode of LOST usually has only three storylines, an A story that typically takes place on the island in the present, a B story that typically takes place in the past, and a C story that typically takes place on the island, but is often a source of comic relief, or at least involves lower stakes. Hurley shows up in these stories a lot. Recently, for example, Jack played poker with Sawyer, in one episode Sun lost her wedding ring, they made their own golf course once, etc.
What makes LOST really work, and really innovative, in my opinion, is that B story–the one that takes place in the past. As I said earlier, just because it’s a B story does not necessarily mean it’s less dramatic, or considered less important by the writers, the letter designation is primarily arbitrary. Generally, screenwriters are wary of flashbacks because they don’t move the story forward. However, from its inception the LOST writers made the brilliant choice of having an entire storyline each episode take place in the past. In this way the flashback storyline must move forward, and it doesn’t detract from the story in the present, in the strongest episodes it enhances that story and gives it more relevance. “What Kate Did” was a great example of this. Plus, the freedom of getting off the island makes the setting feel less claustrophobic to viewers.
Much of what makes LOST original and ground-breaking is the way it compells viewer interest into the future and the past of these characters simultaneously. It has multi-directional storylines stretching back in time and forward in time simultaneously. As a result we’re at least as curious to know how John ended up in that wheelchair as we are to know where Walt is. It’s pretty ingenious.
I’m not sure how interesting any of this is to anyone, so feel free to comment on last night’s episode instead.
I’ll tell you this: I am the President of the Henry Gale fan club. What a great villain (and a great actor)! Marvel at how he mixes the truth with the lies, just like Satan. Look at all the trouble he’s caused with only his mind. He makes Hannibal Lecter look like a girl scout.
Hmmm…I’m now wondering if he might not be the brilliant but merciless leader he was talking about.


Two law enforcement agencies in the heart of Louisiana would detain people without probable cause for up to days at a time while detectives looked at criminal cases, according to federal authorities.
Such “investigative holds” violated the Fourth Amendment – and the Ville Platte Police and Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s departments have agreed to stop their use, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The “investigative holds” included strip searches, three days in holding cells without beds or toilets, and no communication with family members – all without charges being filed, the feds said.
The two departments used the practice about 900 times between 2012 and 2014.
“The violations we found in Ville Platte and Evangeline Parish demonstrate a disturbing pattern of officers overstepping legal boundaries by placing residents in holding cells for days at a time without probable cause,” said Vanita Gupta, head of the Civil Rights Division.
The parish and its seat are about 80 miles west of Baton Rouge, the state capital, and are fairly rural and relatively small in population. Approximately 33,000 people live in the 660 square miles of Evangeline Parish, and about a third are African-Americans. Ville Platte, the largest city, has only 7,300 people – but it is about two-thirds black.
The parish sheriff’s office has 65 full-time employees, and the city’s police has 18 full-time officers.
The investigation of the two agencies was announced in April 2015.
The “investigative holds” were used as a results of a “hunch” or “gut instinct” that the person being held was involved in criminal behavior, according to the findings released Monday. The officers also said they found investigations easier to conduct if the person of interest was unable to communicate with other people outside the jail. If a crime wave subsides while a person of interest is in custody, it assists the investigation, they added.
But witnesses to crime ended up behind bars for indeterminate amounts of time. A woman, her boyfriend, and a 16-year-old child who may have witnessed a robbery while grocery shopping were held in a general-population jail cell. The woman was forced to strip and be searched – and though she was menstruating and forced to remove her tampon, she was not provided with any hygiene products. In response to the woman’s complain, the police chief said “the detention was pursuant to department policy.”
By the conclusion of the DOJ investigation, both the sheriff’s office and the police department agreed to stop using “investigative holds.”
“We look forward to working with both agencies and the local municipalities to ensure that officers can effectively protect their communities and safeguard the liberties of the residents they serve,” added Gupta, the DOJ lawyer.
The Justice Department under the Obama Administration has conducted more investigations into American law enforcement. The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division’s Special Litigation Section conducted some 25 federal probes since 2008. Those resulted in 19 agreements with different agencies, including 14 consent decrees and one post-judgment order, according to the DOJ.
During the eight years under President George W. Bush, the Special Litigation Section brought far fewer cases. Twelve complaints of discriminatory or excessive force were brought to the federal officials in Bush’s first term, from 2001 to 2005. Two agreements were reached, neither of which was a consent decree. No consent decrees were issued in the second term, from 2005 to 2009, according to The Marshall Project.
Many in law enforcement circles cheered the victory of President-elect Donald Trump last month, since he campaigned partly on a platform of promises to strengthen law enforcement initiatives if he won.

Welcome to lesson five-and-a-half in the complete GUI scripting series. In this tutorial, we'll apply the GUI we created on previous lessons to a map. This is a really short and a really simple tutorial, but added to the previous two lessons, it's aimed to make a complete GUI script tutorial from start to finish.
This tutorial presumes you have some minimum knowledge of the map editor in DOOM 3. If you don't, please take a moment to see the many tutorials
available on this topic, specially BNA!'s Your first box map
tutorial and the DOOM 3 level editing FAQ
on how to properly set up the editor.
Complete GUI Scripting - 5: Applying a GUI script to a map
One of the most powerful features of GUI scripting in the DOOM 3 engine is the ability to apply your GUI script to an in-game object, giving the player the ability to interact with it in the game world itself, without opening outside dialog windows.
Adding GUI scripts to in-game objects is pretty easy. For this tutorial, I've created a simple 'kitchen' map to place our cake status reporter panel. This is a rather crude copy & paste job from the original DOOM 3 singleplayer maps, so please bare since I don't have that much of an experience in the DOOM 3 map editor.
Well, first of all, you'll have to download the source files
for this tutorial, since the map we use is inside of it. Open the zip, put all *.map files on the <doom3>/base/maps folder, and put all the rest in the <doom3>/base/guis/cakestatus folder.
Something to take notice is that, since I've changed the location of our "cakestatus" script from /base/cakestatus to /base/guis/cakestatus, all material references had to be changed too. So I changed the GUI script and cakestatus3.gui is different from the cakestatus2.gui file we used on the previous lesson. This is, however, just a hack job to get us going. On real, serious mod works, it'd better to have your GUIs on /guis and your assets somewhere else, all correctly distributed.
Back to the topic. Run the map editor and open up our map - kitchen.map.
This is pretty much your default kitchen. It has a refrigerator, and that's where the UAC personnel puts the dangerous UAC cake, so we need to put the cake status reporter panel next to it. First, we have to add a new model that will display our panel.
Press ESC to deselect everything, right-click on the editor area, and select "New Model...". On the window that pops up, find a model to place on the map - not all models will do, though, so we need models that are prepared to have a GUI entity. Navigate to the "base > models > mapobjects > guiobjects" folder - anyone from there will do. I used "flatmonitor > flatmonitor.lwo", which is a large, flat panel you can put on the wall.
After pressing OK, the object is ready to be moved. Move it by dragging the model or rotate it by using the "Selection > Rotate" menu until you find a position that it fits well.
That done, we're ready to get the panel working. With the model selected, be sure to have the "entity" tab opened in the 'property' window. There are many options, but we won't be dealing with them.
On the entity window, press the "Gui..." button to select a GUI that will be placed on the panel. On the window that pops up, navigate to the "base > guis > cakestatus" folder, and sure enough, select the "cakestatus3" GUI script.
Easy enough, it's already working on our preview window, if you have the render window enabled (if you don't, press F3 to enable it, then F4 or F7 to put on the lights).
Select the BSP > BSP menu to compile it, make sure it has no leaks, then press F2 to open it in-game. As soon as the game runs, if it kicks you to the console (it does for me), type "map kitchen" to run the map.
I think the cake is bad...
...or maybe I'll just say it's good so somebody will eat it and die.
Let's have a final look in our kitchen. It's a pretty big panel, nobody will miss it. And hopefully, the world will be a better place... thank to UAC cake status reporting technology
Well, that's pretty much it - this lesson is just about applying a GUI script to a model anyways. There's much more that could be said about interaction between GUIs and levels, but it's out of the scope of this lesson. I'd like to thanks Njal
for this tutorial
that helped me write mine, and point it out for people that are looking for a bit more serious level control with GUIs.
Download source and example files
Hey, I just registered to say thanks a bunch for these tutorials. I started reading maybe 2 hours ago and now I've got a kooky custom GUI in-game. Thanks! -Noodly
heheh ... and we bump ... it

The power of gold and silver
Nevada has the most homes with underwater mortgages in the country. Nevada also has the fewest mortgages that are equity rich. Although better than 2008-2010, Nevada housing is in bad shape.
Libertarians see the Great Recession as the result of a corporatist monetary system controlled by the Federal Reserve Bank. The best way to combat greed is not to hire regulators who will likely watch porn all day. The best way is to introduce competition into the system. Ron Paul built a movement in 2008 that revived ideas of radical monetary reform.
The Austrian Business Cycle Theory (ABCT) targets fractional reserve banking as the destabilizing force in capitalism. Banks keep say 10 percent of their assets as reserves, and lend out $10 for every dollar in reserve. Where does that $9 come from? It literally comes out of thin air.
When banks lend money from checking accounts (demand deposits), what happens if depositors suddenly demand their money? There is a “run” on the banks. The banks shut down. Depositors lose their savings.
While banks are lending this artificially created money, there is a “boom” of investment. When the people want their money back, then there is a “bust” or recession. When money is cheap and comes largely from demandable accounts, businesses invest in projects for which there is no real consumer demand. These projects are the first to go under. The housing booms in the “sand states” of Southern California, Arizona, Florida and Nevada were the hardest hit in 2008. Government mandates to finance homes for those not credit worthy led to “subprime mortgages,” which were then bundled into securities and traded. When the bust began, markets had no idea what these bundled assets were really worth. They turned to the government to get bailed out, but libertarians insisted the bailouts will only start the boom and bust cycle over again. These “toxic assets” should have been liquidated and the monetary and banking system reformed. A bill to audit the Federal Reserve is in the Senate. Dean Heller supports it, but Harry Reid is sitting on it.
There are two ways to reform the system. One is Andrew Jackson’s way. The other is the progressives’ way. We have tried the progressive approach of a central bank with monopoly control over a monetary system based on debt since 1913. Ron Paul got more people to think maybe we should try Andrew Jackson’s way.
Jackson waged war on the national bank of his day and won. He destroyed the Second Bank of the U.S., and after a sharp recession America prospered. During the gilded age, the crony capitalist Republicans created a National Banking System, which in 1913 was converted to the Federal Reserve System.
The U.S. Constitution states, “No State shall make any thing except gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debt.” Obviously, every state makes fiat paper money created by the Fed its tender in payment of debt. So, every state is in violation of the Constitution. When Jackson was president, the states were powerful and corrupt, and he forced them to pay their debts in gold and silver.
Now the federal government is powerful and corrupt. The states could force the federal government to put its house in order by refusing to pay debts until they can do so in gold and silver coin. Unfortunately, we would need 50 state level Andrew Jacksons, or at least 10 or 20, to do that. Since Jackson was the last president who left office with the federal government debt free, that is not likely to happen soon.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid called for the removal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, saying “the time has come” for a new governing coalition in Israel.
In a thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Lapid laid out his vision for a “national reconstruction government,” which he said would be led by another leader from Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, but would not include the prime minister nor “the extremists.”
“The time has come — we need to establish a national reconstruction government. Likud will lead it, Netanyahu and the extremists will be replaced, over 90 [members of parliament] will be partners in a coalition of healing and reconnection,” Lapid said, underscoring comments he first made on an Israeli television broadcast Wednesday.
“The weak link is the government, and especially the prime minister. The coalition funds continue to flow, the treatment of the evacuees and the injured is a disgraceful failure, no one bothers to close the unnecessary government offices, the advocacy is an unfolding disaster,” he said.
“Netanyahu has lost the trust of his citizens, the trust of the international community and most seriously — the trust of the security system,” he added.
Netanyahu is certain to fight back against Lapid’s demands, and The New York Times noted that no one in the Likud party has publicly suggested ousting him.
A Likud statement said that it “is regrettable and shameful that Lapid is engaging in politics during a time of war, proposing to oust the prime minister that leads the campaign and replace him with a government that would establish a Palestinian state and would allow the Palestinian Authority to control Gaza,” per Haaretz.
Lapid’s comments come as public anger toward Netanyahu continues to grow in Israel. After the Oct. 7 attack on Israel — which killed an estimated 1,200 Israelis — Israeli society has been extremely divided, with a large majority of Israelis saying Netanyahu is somewhat responsible for the attack.
Some of Netanyahu’s critics allege his hyperfocus on judicial reforms, a priority of his right-wing coalition, could have caused the failure to anticipate the Hamas massacre.
Lapid also pointed to Netanyahu’s refusal to accept any blame for security failures. He mentioned Netanyahu’s statement blaming military and intelligence officials for the Oct. 7 attack — a remark for which he has now apologized.
“I hear the voices saying this is not the time. We waited 40 days, there is no more time. What we need right now is a government that will deal with nothing but security and the economy. We cannot afford another election in the coming year where we will continue to fight and explain why the other side is a disaster,” he wrote.
Lapid said a new governing coalition will focus on taking care of its citizens, not on politics.
“In this place we must establish — in the current Knesset — a government that will be focused on taking care of the citizen, not on politics. An efficient and decent government, with as broad a base as possible,” he wrote.
“A government whose very structure will begin the creation of a new Israeli contract. Likud, the largest party, will choose who should lead it. We will accept his choice and go to work.”
Netanyahu had not publicly responded to Lapid’s calls as of Thursday afternoon.
