Senate Republicans on Monday blocked a move to open debate on the so-called Buffett Rule, ensuring that a measure pressed for months by President Obama and Senate Democrats to ensure that the superrich pay a tax rate of at least 30 percent will not come to a decisive vote.
But the fierce debate preceding the 51-45 vote — the Democrats were nine votes short of the 60 they needed — set off a week of political wrangling over taxes that both parties insist they are already winning.
Senate Democrats intend to return repeatedly to the legislation, named after the billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who has complained that he pays a lower effective tax rate than his secretary. On Thursday, House Republicans will counter with a proposed tax cut for businesses that they say would spur job creation but would cost the Treasury almost exactly what the Democrats’ tax increase would raise.
Republicans say they like that contrast, and their language ahead of the vote on a motion just to take up the Buffett Rule was harsh and aimed squarely at Mr. Obama, who first proposed a 30-percent tax rate floor for anyone earning at least $1 million a year last September. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican minority leader, went to the Senate floor and all but called Mr. Obama a liar.
“By wasting so much time on this political gimmick that even Democrats admit won’t solve our larger problems, it’s shown the president is more interested in misleading people than he is in leading,” Mr. McConnell said of the Buffett Rule push.
A couple thoughts. First, how does the media even pretend that the Republicans stand for anything but the wealthy? Between votes like this and the Ryan plan, how can they keep pretending otherwise.
Second, look how successful the Republicans have been in framing the notion of a majority as 60 votes- “Democrats were nine votes short…” Only when you change the definition of majority rule.
Finally, what larger problems has McConnell shown any interest in solving ever?
The problem of That One being President?
How in the hell do we still carry the rules of a senate based on the old slavery south into this modern day? Those rules were created solely to protect slavery … insane. Who won the civil war?
Villago Delenda Est
The media is made up of overpaid spokesmodels who know exactly where their next meal of cocktail weenies and tiger shrimp are coming from.
This will not change until the tumbrels roll.
“Finally, what larger problems has McConnell shown any interest in solving ever?”
The problems of the 1% of course. And whatever kittle trinket catches Elaine’s eye.
I can’t understand how the media lets them get away with being called Fiscally Conservative, when their counter to a way to help balance the budget is a bill that makes it even worse.
Unfortunately, Harry Reid let that horse out of the barn shortly after the 2006 election when dems won back the Senate. And for a year or so, Harry just conceded a filibustered cloture vote to the wingers on every bill, or about every bill. I think he did it to save time, to make the nutters actually vote for cloture. So all final votes were set at a 60 requirement for passage. I think he realized his error later on and stopped doing that, but the meme had already stuck in the msm.
so that pos rag nyt surrogate-calls obama ‘a liar’ and you parrot those lines ?
NYTimes article on two economists and their studies of income inequality in America
For Two Economists, the Buffett Rule Is Just a Start
“Fiscally Right-Wing” is how we should phrase it.
Democrats have had an opportunity to change Senate rules every two years. And every two years, they pass on reforming it. :-p
On the flip side, I think the filibuster means a lot less in ’12 than it did two years ago. Anything that passes on a party line vote out of the Senate is going to fail on a party line vote in the House. :-p
There are just a lot of white voters who are in deep denial of what the GOP stands for. All they can see are wasteful multi cultural democrats, that don’t look like them, and often don’t talk like them. And that is where their ears close and critical thinking stops functioning. It is the silent generation mostly to blame for that, and they will be dead soon.

Tom Friedman is Atrios’ Grand Wanker of the Decade today.
I could quibble about him being worst but he certainly deserves to be on the list.
It doesn’t matter at this point. The amount collected by the Buffet Rule was not huge. What matters is relentless votes on this and other bills to break the right wing wall on no new taxes, especially for the rich. Everything is posturing right now, and this is a good issue for dems to keep pounding.
I was thinking “Upwardly Redistributive.”
I can’t understand why a party that doesn’t intend to abuse the shit out of the filibuster wouldn’t at least favor changes to make filibustering hard. And the Dems aren’t going to abuse it; they don’t have it in ’em. I get not wanting to get rid of it entirely, and wanting to have some check on the majority (especially in the Senate, where the “majority” can easily represent a minority of the people in the country), but what is the argument against making the filibustering party put some effort into it?
Yes, they will be dead soon.
Teixeira’s book was right in the long run, it just anticipated things moving faster (and in some cases more reasonably) than has happened.
The GOP loses the under-30 vote. It is losing (has lost?) women. It’s losing hispanics at rates approaching the rates of african-americans. Its stronghold is the older white males, and you can make a decent prediction on the vote there if you find how frequently they attend church. (once a month or less, almost never. Two or more times a week, almost always.)
It’s only a matter of time, but it’s going to be an ugly time while it happens.
Why do you even care cup half empty Cole? You were all “we should just give up and give Republicans the keys” yesterday. So why should anyone care what you think or say when you are so willing to fold like a deck of cards just because it gets in the way of your tv viewing or whatever.
Go fuck yourself!

Also too, all wars should be fought with pocket-knives – by the people who declare the war…
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?
Hahahahaha! Are you gonna just sit there and take that kind of abuse Wrong Again Cole™…on your own damn blog?
Because if the media started telling the truth, that the entire GOP establishments’ only goal is to plunder the nation’s wealth and funnel the money to their bosses who foot their re-election campaigns, then a third of the country would get pissy at them and they’d no longer be invited to politicians’ BBQs or have the all coveted ‘access’ with which politicians reward their good little media whores for repeating the lies they’re fed.
In short, we’re fucked.
But we had a pretty decent run there for a while.
@General Stuck: Wake me when it happens. I’ll be in Michoacán
After listening to that this american life radio episode on money in politics a few weeks ago, my view is pretty cynical these days about stuff like this.
Congress members have to regularly call millionaires begging for money. When a lobbyist calls a congressman about raising funds for their campaign, they are thrilled, cause that means less gazzillioners that gotta call that day begging for money.
The “buffet rule” is a fucking joke till the way campaigns are financed changes in very fundamental way.
Dems are trolling us with this I’m afraid.
Speaking semi-tangentially about the nation’s (and ghoulish obsessives’ party) holy and shaltnotbetouchedorinfringedupon priorities, have a peek at a world map of arms spending. Map ahould start out with spending as a percentage of GDP (hey! look at our spiritual neighbors under the skin!) and then you can switch over to the usual spending in cast (where we entirely expectedly have no neighbors).
@ant: (and several other commenters on this thread)
This is what it looks like when an empire begins to unravel.
I’m seriously beginning to think Derf is actually Matt Yglesias’s Petey troll. Same tenacity, same mo- find one phrase and just say it over and over again. Same loser.
The only thing mitch mcconnell should fix is that damn chin of his. I feel like I’m looking at someone who has a pair of testicles attached to his neck.
Today when I was reading the news on various sites, I noticed a recurring theme of trying to tar Obama for coddling corporations and the wealthy. I wish I could articulate this better, he’s being accused of being what Mitt actually is.
I saw it under three different articles, as if this was today’s talking point handed to a group of paid trolls.
Belafon (formerly anonevent)
CNN poll on whether people favor the 30% tax rule:
No opinion 1%
Forum Transmitted Disease
Democratic majority is 70 votes. A Republican majority is 50.
I was not of the opinion that changing the filibuster rules was a good idea. I am reconsidering that notion.
@Belafon (formerly anonevent):
Funny thing about that number.
@opie jeanne: classic rove. He called it turning somebodies biggest strength into their biggest weakness. It sounds strange above, but the way it’s applied it’s classic projection.
It’s another way of playing Goebbels old game. Accuse others first, of what you are guilty of yourself. Add that to his other con, which is the bigger and more bald-faced the lie, the easier it is to get people to believe it. Finally, mix in repetition. Repeat a lie so often it becomes truth.
I hate to go all Godwin but feel free to draw your own parallels…
Apparently, “Go Fuck Yourself” is your version of “Carthago Delenda Est” — just some bit of doggeral you stick at the end of your pointless whiny comments.
Reporters HATE MATH!
That’s why they became reporters, rather than say engineers, scientists or even business majors; they never ever wanted to take a math class again after high school.
To understand economic stuff requires math. And not just simple math with numbers, but the fancy math that involves LETTERS AND NUMBERS and funny symbols that aren’t +, -, x, or division.
Anyway, how can you fault someone for avoiding something they went into a profession to avoid?
For example, person ‘a’ quit being a salesman because he wanted a steady paycheck and didn’t like being paid on commission. Would you fault ‘a’ from avoiding things that would get him commission based pay? No.
Same goes for journalists. They hate math. Anything involving math is something they would avoid.
Belafon (formerly anonevent)
@Forum Transmitted Disease: I’ve decided that it needs to go in part because, if the Republicans take control of the Senate, they need to own every vote they make. If I were a Senator, I would vote with the Republicans to end the rule.
@gaz: This is the first time I’ve spotted it, and it seems to be a new thing just today. When I saw the third one I was reminded of the Daily Show clips of various commenters parroting the same phrase word for word, even though every time I saw it the wording was reworked to fit the article it appeared under.
I’m wondering what country the 1%-ers think they are going to be able to live in once they have extracted all the wealth from the economy. Somalia? Or are they all Xtians who figure they will be Raptured away?
I can’t believe they’re still trying to claim that tax cuts to the wealthy create jobs.
@Kristin: Like gaz said in #35, repetition helps sell the lie. And the lie is all they have.
@PaminBB: Well, they certainly don’t need money for that.
Because a lot of top level media pundits and journalists are wealthy, themselves. They have to look out for their own interests.
I especially like the part where McConnell complains that the Buffett Rule won’t help lower the price of gasoline.
The keep pretending this because the President and the Dems are, as they usually are, completely ineffective at organizing and implementing and maintaining a messaging/public relations strategy. Why this is the case is open to debate.
See above. Plus, this is obviously the way the Dems want things to be also. How long do you intend to remain credulous?
YOu are correct. And the Dems suck.
Judas Escargot, Your Postmodern Neighbor
@Forum Transmitted Disease:
And (because I apparently love repeating this): The filibuster is history the next time the GOP takes the Senate.
Given current trends, the period from 2013-2015 is going to see some weird, weird, asinine, and frankly insane shit passed through Congress. Probably with patriotic-sounding names, so the GOP can say stuff like “Obama voted against the America and Apple Pie Bill!”
When the media look in the mirror, they SEE the wealthy.
But, they are not Paris Hilton wealthy. Oh no. They are the good kind of wealthy where they fucking earned that shit. And they don’t even really consider themselves wealthy – just a wee-bit on the higher end of being middle class really. David Gregory and the rest of the glitterati are the real, working/middle-class.
All of us bloggers and screaming libtards are just a bunch of stupid fucking hippies who don’t shave, stink, fuck without rubbers or fuck with the pill paid for by David Gregory.

Yeah, but how many is 10? And what is this “9” thing anyway?
@scav: Cripes! Iceland spent a MILLION DOLLARS, total. Does the army supply its own boots? God bless ’em….
Word up. I started reading “Master of the Senate” about Lyndon Johnson today, and there’s an entire section at the beginning about the way the Senate had worked from the Civil War onwards. Wow. Just wow. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea the extent to which it was a Dixiecrat-run private club – or an obstruction to democracy. That body is WAY overdue for a makeover.
@Clime Acts: Why?
The filibuster will never die at the hands of Democrats because Senate Democrats like having quirky prerogatives. For the most part, their belief in their own powers is stronger than their ideological commitments or their willingness to be constructive with a President from their own party. Russ Feingold was unhelpful in something like a principled way having to do with the balance of powers, but someone like Ben Nelson is unhelpful in a way that has only to do with lucre and/or individual self-preservation. What We Need Is a group of senators that doesn’t feel that way. Unfortunately, people who feel that way very often end up winning nominations, then elections, and we get stuck with them, sometimes for decades.
@Citizen Alan: lol..not only do you not have a point, but you are defending “let’s just give up and let the Republicans win” folding like a cheap suit Cole the coward…lol. Somehow pathetic loser is not a strong enough word for whatever you are.
So I can read the articles you’re referring to. ???
A Humble Lurker
Too bad Republicans suck even more.
These were COMMENTS under the articles, non-sequiturs really. One was under an article about GE not paying taxes, in the comments. I linked to these articles from other sites so I have no idea which ones had them.
@A Humble Lurker: Thank you. I think he’s a troll.
@Davis X. Machina:
From your article:
Actually, my question is, why should we bother?
Whatever else they are, voters are all grown-ups. If an ever-increasing number of white male voters have decided that they hate empowered minorities and women so much that they’re willing to try and gut the safety net for us all rather than share it, they know what they’re doing. If nonwhite and female voters see that trend, take it for what it is and flock to the other party for their own protection, the decision is clearly theirs as well.
As a white Christian male, it does pain me that such a huge number of my fellow people are prejudiced, petty and short-sighted enough to walk down that path… but as a Democrat, I can’t say I’ll miss them, and I don’t really see why we should try to change their minds. It’s hard enough holding the line against Republicans without a fifth column of our own bigots running a second front from the inside. Yes, for the last fifty years we have had to grovel in front of white “moderate” “swing” voters riddled with identity issues because in a democracy, there’s no other way (hence Carter and Clinton). But demographics being what they are, we’re quickly approaching a point where these voters are no longer in that position.
(And who in their right minds would want them to be? If Archie Bunker is moving from being the center of American politics to the fringe lunatic he richly deserves to be, that’s a good thing for all of us. There was never any way to turn him back into a solid partisan without turning our backs on a half-century of progress anyway).
@Chris: An excellent post.
They should just re-name it the Reagan Rule, I think there is only about 2% difference between his stance and Buffet’s.
They couldn’t vote against it then! Extreme cognitive dissonance, aieee!
@Chris: My only fear his how much damage they are going to do on the way out.
For the most part yes. But I think as a society we are storing up trouble for the future if we don’t make an serious effort to get these folks re-invested in the idea of being part, and a valued part at that, of the same human community as the rest of us. Otherwise, the only thing standing between our current state of affairs and a more widespread White Christian (so-called) Supremacist domestic terrorist movement is for them to get younger. Right now too many of them are too old and fat to be out there doing much in the way of blowing stuff up, but when the Boomer generation shuffles off into the sunset, a younger and angrier generation will inherit their hatred. I don’t like where this is headed, especially because violent domestic political movements have the potential to bring out the worst in the police/national security/surveillance state, and that hurts all of us.
Thanks, Gaz –
And to answer both these –
I’ve always thought that if we do get our wish and consign the right wing (as it currently is) to permanent minority status, we will indeed get a wave of terrorism. Political movements usually spawn these things when they feel they’ve lost the legal/public-opinion battle. The fifties and sixties were the age of decolonization and desegregation, so naturally, you got the shenanigans from the KKK over here and the OAS in France, among others. In the seventies and eighties politics moved back to the right and the radical left became an object of ostracism, so you got the Red Brigades, Baader Meinhoff and the rest of these guys. I’m expecting the same thing from our conservatives whenever their turn finally comes.
I don’t like it. I just don’t know what to do about it. How do you make them feel like “a valued part of the human community,” when the only time they feel “valued” is when they’re running it from A to Z?
None, republicans don’t solve problems, they create them to campaign against them.
I don’t know. This is a really hard question to answer. The best I can come up with is a short slogan the substance of which we could use a lot more of around here: The Dignity of Labor. Give people lots of that and maybe they won’t need to drink the Haterade so often.
We can hope. I just don’t think something like that’s going to be enough to peel away the true haters.
Only way out I can see is to let enough of the old ones die off and let the young ones condemn themselves to the fringe. People in my generation, even whites, have been a lot less reactionary than their parents so far. That’s cause for hope, if it stays that way. And the good news with these terrorist movements, if there is any such thing, is that they usually just accelerate their own demise by scaring away mushy moderates who might’ve otherwise been on the fence or on their side.
My hope is that by the time I die, today’s teabaggers will have become like the BNP or FN in Europe – still around, nasty buggers, but on the outskirts of politics rather than in the central position they’re in now. May I turn out to be right…

“I believe stories are everywhere, and stories are everything! I turned producer with ‘Eternal Sunshine’ to narrate some of these stories, ones that evoke emotions and leave a lasting impact. Our first production, ‘Darlings,’ received so much love that it was an exhilarating and overwhelming experience,” Alia expressed, as quoted by Film Companion.
Alia’s decision to venture into production reflects her passion for storytelling and her desire to bring diverse narratives to the audience. With “Jigra,” she continues her journey as a storyteller, promising yet another compelling cinematic experience.
The 30-year-old actress delved further into discussing “Jigra” and shed light on its storyline. She disclosed that the film revolves around themes of ‘courage, passion, and determination.’
“Just a little over a year later, we are ready to launch our second production, ‘Jigra,’ a beautiful story of courage, passion, and determination. I hope to consistently support compelling narratives that are authentic and enduringly timeless and work with brilliant creative minds to bring them alive,” Alia elaborated.
Directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Karan Johar, “Jigra” is poised to hit the screens on September 27th, 2024. With its compelling storyline and talented team, the film promises to captivate audiences with its authenticity and timeless appeal.

The Spanish and American War: The war began in 1898. There was conflict between Spain and the United States. The war started when Cuba wanted to become an independent country and did not want to be ruled by Spain no more. The Cubans rebelled against Spain and Spain tried to stop the rebellion as fast as they could. The United States got into the when the USS Maine was unexplainably sunk down into the ocean. The ship was sent to protect all the US citizens that were over in Cuba. The ship was sitting in Havana. On April 9 Spain said that they wanted a truce. The United States help Cuba create their own government and got them their independence from Spain that they so desperately wanted. Spain declared war on the United States

The Mexican–American War, also known as the Mexican War, was an armed conflict between the United States of America and the United Mexican States from 1846 to 1848. The Mexican War between the United States and Mexico started from the annexation of Texas in 1845. The war resulted in the United States’ acquisition of more than 500,000 square miles of Mexican territory extending westward from the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean America’s dedication of War on Mexico. There were many pros and conflicts following this war, which will be the main focus of this paper.
The Spanish-American war commenced with the Wilson- Gorman Tariff, 1894. The American tariff on sugar imports hurt the Cuba's economy that was manufactured sugar. Angry nationalists (insurrection) revolted against the Spanish Colonial regime. Therefore, Spain sent General Weyler to Cuba to deal with the situation.
In 1890 the U.S. went into war with spain for many reason for example. yellow journalism, imperialism and the sinking of the Maine is what caused the American population to want to go to war with Spain. yellow journalism is what got the rage in the american public. When the U.S.S. Maine was sunk word spread fast and the people were quick to blame the Spanish. Since the U.S had so many investments in Cuba it made one of the causes of the Spanish American War
On April 25, 1898 the Spanish-American war began. The United States and Cuba eventually ended up benefiting from the Spanish-American war even though both had to overcome many losses. The United States had a great interest in Cuba. Having gained their independence 100 years ago from Great Britain, the U.S. knew exactly what Cuba was going through.
War, an act partaken by almost every major nation and civilization that has ever been around in the world. War has been the fall of many civilizations, the cause of deaths of millions and the destruction of the history of people. There has been one war of particular interest that has changed the face of a civilization permanently, and that was the Spanish war with the Aztecs a war that made what the current country of Mexico. This war was diversely influenced by many things such as race and gender and served as a reminder of political and social decisions that should or should not have been made and shows a surprising similarity to events taken in the United States.
Spanish-American war of 1896, Cuba was the last remaining colony of Spain in the new world. Cuban sugar cane workers were rebelling because of poverty and bad conditions. William Randolph Hearst, a sensationalist reporter who was investigating the war, sent an artist to Cuba to sketch the action. Unfortunately for him, nothing violent was happening, so Hearst exaggerated the truth. Pressured into war the president sends the Maine to harbor, but it suddenly exploded.
the United States used propaganda targeting humanitarian concerns to incite the public to declare war. As Americans were interested in the Cuban Revolution, sensational journalism only raised tensions between the United States and the Spanish monarchy, which would help cause the war. While General Weyler
The imperialistic mentality of the American government after the Civil War, led to some degree to the Spanish-American war that would render a great acquisition of land for the United States. However, imperialism would not be the sole factor that led to the war against Spain, but also the sympathy felt by the American government towards Cuba’s efforts in fighting for their independence; additionally, the United States would seek to protect its commercial interests (sugar) in the island. Therefore, after invoking the Spanish to secede from their brutal practices towards Cuban rebels and attain a peaceful end to the situation, the United States arbitrarily sent a navy ship, “The USS Maine” to monitor the area.
This explosion finally made the Americans want to go to war, and so the United States decided to get involved. On April 25, 1898, the United States officially went to war with Spain to help Cuba. Instead of the battles being fast and right away, the United States was hesitant and patient. After multiple articles from Hearst and Pulitzer exposing the horrors in Cuba and the rumors about the explosion of the U.S. Mains, America finally got involved in the Spanish American
In February 1861, a new government was on the horizon in the United States, known as the Confederate States of America. Composed of seven states from the South, this new government looked to separate from a union that they felt was tipping in power towards those who wanted to threaten the rights of the South, especially slavery. Similarly, in early 1775, colonists were preparing for revolution against a power that they felt oppressed their rights and wanted to take away their liberties. However, the Civil War was a not a complete representation of a second American Revolution. The Civil War was more than an unsatisfied party rebelling against a larger power, but a clash between two vastly different ways of life.
The years 1750-1900 are better known as the Revolution Era. During this time period, there were several revolutions that occurred throughout the developing world. Two of the main revolutions were the French Revolution and the Latin American Revolution. Both revolutions followed the anatomy of a revolution and had comparable causes, however the French Revolution politically better outcomes, whereas the Latin American Revolution resulted in poverty and lost territory.
The English were more concerned with finding gold rather than building functioning societies; which were primarily built around biblical teachings, while the Spanish intended for European national power to extend to western civilization beginning with Catholicism and influence of the pope. English settlers were driven from England due to religious practices and perceived themselves as saving the Indians from the Spanish and their tyrannical ways. For the English, owning land would give men control over their own labor and the right to vote in most colonies, and this land possession would show wealth. This new obtained wealth would not only have demonstrated power, but it could also be used to influence a society a certain way to convince others to follow suit. The English believed that their motives for colonization were pure, and that the growth of empire and freedom would always go together, unlike the Spanish.
INTRODUCTION Throughout the 1840s and 1850s a major war happened called the Mexican American War which drastically changed the U.S. and Mexico and lead to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to be signed and which established the Rio Grande and not the Nueces River as the U.S Border. This also lead to the U.S. annexation of Texas and lead to the Mexico agreeing to sell California and the rest of the territory for 15 million. So you 're probably wondering why the war was fought but you 'll find that out later.
The United States war with Mexico continues to be a divisive topic among many people because of its background. The Mexican-American war was a fight between Mexico and America for land. America’s belief at the time was Manifest Destiny, which meant that they believed that America should extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific ocean. In the end, America benefited from the war and got the land. The United States expanded its size, achieving their dream of Manifest Destiny.

DAKAR - The flamboyant "super minister" son of former Senegalese leader Abdoulaye Wade is to be tried in June for corruption after accumulating a fortune valued at well over $1 billion, a judicial source said on Thursday.
Karim Wade is alleged to have acquired by corrupt means companies and real estate valued at $1.4 billion (1 billion euros), including land in Dakar, a fleet of luxury cars and media and finance companies operating across Africa.
"Karim Wade will remain in prison and will go on trial in two months for illicit enrichment," the ministry of justice source told AFP.
Wade, a powerful minister in his father's regime, has been on remand in a Dakar prison for exactly one year since his arrest and the city's anti-corruption court ordered he remain in custody, the source said.
Under Senegalese law, officials would normally have had a maximum of six months to investigate the 45-year-old before sending him to trial or dismissing the case.
But the anti-corruption court extended the pre-trial detention period in October for another six months, adding a fresh charge relating to an unexplained sum of $205 million which prosecutors say Wade deposited into several Monaco bank accounts.
An account in Singapore containing $95 million was attributed to him this week.
Wade refused last week to answer questions from investigating judges, stating that the "charges against me are political and fanciful", but he has consistently denied any wrongdoing and said his wealth was acquired legitimately.
- 'Witch hunt' -
The former ruling Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS) accuses the regime of Macky Sall, who ended the 12-year rule of Wade's father in 2012 presidential elections, of conducting a "witch hunt" against the PDS hierarchy since it came to power.
Sall launched a number of audits into the finances of political rivals shortly after his inauguration and several leaders of the Wade regime have been repeatedly questioned by police and judges.
In July last year, the regional court of the Economic Community of West African States rejected a request for Wade's immediate release, however, ruling that Senegal was not violating his rights by detaining him.
Court officials publicly set out the case against the former minister the day after his arrest, detailing a huge operation involving the movement of money through front organisations in tax havens across the world.
"This is real financial engineering that has been exposed, with frontmen and complex structures. We discovered key sectors of the economy held by offshore companies based in Panama, the British Virgin Islands and Luxembourg," prosecutor Antoine Diome said.
- International playboy -
The younger Wade was an extremely divisive figure in Senegalese politics in the run-up to the presidential elections in March 2012, with many believing his father was trying to line him up for succession.
He was often criticised for his mismanagement of public finances and was nicknamed "super minister" and "the minister of the earth and the sky" after his father placed him in charge of the international cooperation, air transport, infrastructure and energy portfolios.
He was seen as an outsider after living for many years in Europe and returning to high profile positions as an adviser to the veteran president and later as a cabinet minister.
Described as haughty and arrogant, Wade led the lifestyle of an international playboy during his years in his father's government, travelling mostly in private jets and frequenting Dakar's most prestigious restaurants.
He counted among his friends King Mohammed VI of Morocco.
A former financial expert in the City of London, he was adored by his father but unpopular among ordinary people in Senegal, where he was accused of speaking the main national language, Wolof, very poorly after having lived too long abroad.
In a sign of his unpopularity, he was beaten in municipal elections in Dakar in 2009, not even getting a majority of the vote in his local polling station.
The father of three daughters lost his French-German wife Karine, who was in her 30s, to cancer in the same year.

Senegal ex-president''s son to be tried for corruption

Jeffrey Wells, parole officer, accused of forgery to keep arrestees in jail longer
"When parole officers revoke them, they don't have a right to counsel. And when they don't have a right to counsel, no one is able to say, 'You're violating this person's statutory and constitutional rights.' And that's when these crimes -- and it is a crime to do this when you're forging a document and falsely imprisoning someone -- go unreported and people are improperly incarcerated for extended periods of time."
As the case works its way through the system, Wells remains on the job. Not that his departure would necessarily solve the problem.
"I hope this hasn't been happening more broadly," Rathod says. "I hope the Department of Corrections has not been unlawfully holding people and ruining people's lives. But I fear evidence will point in the direction of this going beyond parole officer Wells. I think this is a problem throughout the entire Department of Corrections."

This study represents a research in the field of energy efficiency and environmental optimizations of heat pumps, analysing the comparative performances obtained by changing the refrigerant R407C with R290. For testing, an open circuit water-to-water heat pump was used, with capillary evaporators with an innovative spiral shape.
The simulations showed that the heat pump ensures an important reduction of the electricity consumption and Total Equivalent Warming Impact to an ordinary air conditioning system.
Keywords: Heat Pump, EER, COP, TEWI, Capillary Evaporators, Energy Efficiency.
Heat transfer performance is one of the most important areas of research in the field of thermal engineering. There is a large number of refrigerants used in compression refrigeration systems. Their use implies for each case some reservations in terms of environmental impact (Following the Montreal Protocol 1987 refrigerants CFCs “chlorofluorocarbons” were finally abandoned in 2000 and gradually replaced by HCFCs or HFCs and within it providing an opportunity for the development of substitutes), toxicity (NH3), flammability (HC) or high pressure (CO2), which gives them degrees of danger accordingly.
Ashok G. Matani et al. (2010), conducted an experimental study to observe the performance of different ecological refrigeration mixtures (HC and R401a mixture).
This innovative system can use a renewable energy resource, respectively groundwater, rivers or sea water and can achieve both the heating and cooling requirements of a location.
Method and international analysis
E. Halimic et al. (2011) tested the operation of a compression refrigeration system using R401a, R134a and R290 refrigerants. The results (Figure 1) indicated that the performance obtained with refrigerant R134a are close to those obtained with refrigerant R401a but lower than those obtained with refrigerant R290.
E. Navarro et al. (2012) conducted a comparative study between R1234yf, R134a and R290, using a piston compressor, with two operating speeds and vaporization temperatures from −20°C to 20°C, with the condensation temperature variation between 40°C and 65°C.
Figure 1. Refrigeration capacity analysis.
The measurements performed and the subsequent analysis led to the following conclusions:
· R290 has shown a significant improvement in volumetric efficiency, and heat losses are considerably lower than for the other two coolants. It should be noted that R290 has a significantly higher volumetric capacity than the other two refrigerants, which may reduce the size of this type of system (Brown, J.S., et al., 2010).
· The new refrigerant, R1234yf, has better efficiency compared to R-134a for pressure ratios greater than 8. It has less heat loss than R134a, but 20% more than R290 (Mathur, G.D., et al., 2010). From this study, wasconcluded that R1234yf and R290 can be good substitutes for R-134a.
· In terms of efficiency, R290 (Figure 2), demonstrated a better performance for the whole range of conditions tested (improvement on average by 30% of volumetric efficiency and by 15% of compressor efficiency). R1234yf showed higher heat losses than R290, even with a significantly lower compressor discharge temperature.
Figure 2. COP variation for tested refrigerants.
Ki-Jung Park and others (2007), analysed the performance of two pure hydrocarbons and seven mixtures composed of propylene, propane, R152a and dimethyl ether in order to replace R22 refrigerant in residential air conditioners and heat pumps at evaporation temperatures and condensation of 7°C and 45°C, respectively. The test results confirmed a value of the performance coefficient of these mixtures up to 5.7% higher than in the case of operation with R22. The conclusions were that the mixtures used led to superior performance with reasonable energy savings, without any environmental problems and, consequently, can be used in the long term as alternatives for residential air conditioning and heating applications with heat pumps.
Ki-Jung Park et. al., (2007), analysed the thermodynamic performance obtained with two pure hydrocarbons and seven mixtures composed of propylene (R1270), propane (R290), R152a and dimethyl ether (R170) in order to analyse the possibilities of substituting R22 refrigerant in residential air conditioning installations.
The test results led to COP values up to 5.7% higher than when using R22 refrigerant.
K. Mani et. al., (2008) , analysed the operating parameters of a refrigeration system with steam compression using the R290 / R600 mixture (68% / 32%) in order to replace the R134a refrigerants.
In conclusion, the mixture R290 / R600a (68/32% by weight) can be considered as a substitute refrigerant R134a due to the real ecological advantages.
AS Dalkilic et al. (2010), studied the performance of a compression refrigeration plant using mixtures of R134a, R152a, R32, R290, R1270, R600 and R600a refrigerants combined in various ratios and the results were compared with the functional parameters of the same plant using refrigerants R22 and R134a.
The results show that all alternative refrigerants investigated in the analysis have a COP slightly lower than R22 and R134a for the condensation temperature of 50°C and the evaporation temperatures ranging from −30°C to 10°C.
The results have shown that the mixture of R290 / R1270 refrigerants (20% / 80% by weight) can replace refrigerant R22 with close energy results, having in view the ecological properties of these mixtures.
Vincenzo La Rocca et. al. (2011), analysed the performance of a refrigeration system with vapour compression using refrigerant R22 compared to those obtained by replacing this refrigerant with new refrigerants, HFC, respectively:
R417a, R422a and R422d. The conclusion was that the performances obtained with the new tested refrigerants were inferior to those achieved by operating with the R22 refrigerant.
Yunho Hwang et al. (2007), compared the operating performance of a refrigeration system using R404 and R410A refrigerants compared to R290. The conclusion was that the energy performance obtained with R290 refrigerant is lower than that obtained with R404 and R410A refrigerants but the ecological performance of R290 are absolute.
Venkataramana Murthy et al. (2014), considered the possibility of replacing refrigerant R22 with environmentally friendly refrigerants (R134a, R407C and R290) in order to comply with the provisions of the Montreal Protocol using for testing a refrigeration system equipped with a rotary encapsulated compressor using SUNISO4 oil and an air-cooled condenser. The evaporator used was a 2m long capillary.
The conclusion from all studies analysed in the first part of this article, was that the R290 refrigerant ensures a higher COP (Figure 3), compared to the R134a, R407C refrigerants and next chapter will show such results for a heat pump with original capillary evaporator.
Figure 3. COP evolution for the refrigerants tested in the refrigeration installation.
Results and discussion
In order to determine the energy performance of the use of the R290 refrigerant compared to the R407C refrigerant for an innovative heat pump (HP) analysed in this paper, operation simulations were performed using specialized programs. The COP value was analysed for the entire usual range of condensation temperatures Figures 4-9represents the COP variation depending on the vaporization (Te) and condensation temperature (Tc).
Figure 4. COP value for Tc = 22°C
Figure 5. COP value for Tc = 24°C
Figure 6. COP value for Tc = 30°C
Figure 7. COP value for Tc = 30°C
Figure 8. COP value for Tc = 40°C
Figure 9. COP value for Tc = 46°C
In his paper entitled “Comparing the energy efficiency and irreversibility of R22, R134a, R290 and R407C to replace R22 in an air conditioning system”, published in the Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology (2013), the authors, Padmanabhan, VMV and Palanisamy , SK mentioned that the COP of R290 is higher compared to R22; R134a and R407C (Figure 10).
Figure 10. Comparison of the COP at different air temperatures.
In conclusion, it is obvious that the refrigerant R290 has a better potential (except for the expansion process) and can be considered for substitution given by the superior parameters compared to other refrigerants, with the observation to take into account the increased flammability. of it, within the handling and storage operations Ţârlea G. M et al. (2019).
In the Table 1 it is shown the Total Equivalent Warming Impact calculation (see EN 378) for R407C and R290and more than 40% ecological advantage of R290.

For conclusions, the energetic, ecological and financial parameters were analysed comparing two systems that use respectively the R407C and R290 refrigerant, using the Pack Calculation program for an innovative HP (Figure 11).
Figure 11. Heat Pumps with Innovative Capillary Evaporators
The results offered by the program were the following:
1) For a year-long operation in climatic conditions in Bucharest, the average COP achieved by the heat pump system using the R407C refrigerant calculated by the program was 2.34 while the system using the R290 refrigerant provides an average COP of 3.03;
2) In front of the heat pump that uses the R407C refrigerant, the heat pump that uses the R290 refrigerantachieves an energy saving of 971kWh, which represents at the annual consumption level of the heat pump that uses the R407C refrigerant, a saving of 22%.
3) From the point of view of ecological analysis, during operation, the heat pump that uses the R407C refrigerant generates a higher TEWI (40,36 tons CO2) compared to the heat pump that uses the R290 refrigerant (21,42 tons CO₂).
The operating time for the R290 refrigerant is much larger than for the R407C. From the point of view of condensation temperature, the R290 refrigerant operating tire starts at 16°C and ends at 68°C, while the R407C refrigerant operating tire starts at 22°C condensing and ends at condensation temperature of 64°C. From the point of view of vaporization temperature, the R290 refrigerant tire starts at −28°C and ends at 12°C. For condensation temperatures up to 36°C and low vaporization temperatures, between −26°C and −6°C the heat pump with refrigerant R290 ensures a higher COP than when using refrigerant R407C. For condensation temperatures between 46°C-48°C, the COP is identical for operation with both refrigerants over the entire range of usual values of the vaporization temperature. From the ecological point of view of the TEWI factor, operation with the R290 refrigerant is the ideal ecological option.

White seabass season...! (and tips part 3 *RECIPE*)
I'm of the opinion that the best part of hunting white seabass is eating white seabass. It's firm, mild, and incredibly versatile--it can be grilled right on the grate, breaded and fried, eaten as sashimi, sauteed, served blackened, made into curries and stews, eaten as cold leftovers in a salad, and even cold smoked. Commercially, white sea bass in season runs $20 - $30 a pound.
If safe to do so, I like to bleed and gut my fish in the water, the sooner the better. This makes for better quality meat both in terms of flavor and food safety, and it keeps the kitchen cleaner. In sharky waters I would never bleed and gut a fish in the water with me, but in southern California the sharks we encounter--particularly in the kelp beds--will range from indifferent to afraid of divers, although a fish left alone for too long (hanging off a boat or buoy, or tied up on the bottom) will eventually attract sea lions, birds, or sharks.
For shoredivers, one thing to remember though is that a fish is much less hydrodynamic after gutting. For fish with air bladders, it will also be significantly heavier after gutting. So, for the one in this write-up, I brained the fish immediately after recovery, then cut the gills to let it bleed, then easily swam it whole about it a quarter mile before gutting it just outside the surf prior to exiting the water.
Refrigeration is of course a primary concern as well. If a cooler and ice is not immediately available, a whole fish will keep cool and fresh in our water for quite some time. And a large fish will have plenty of thermal density to be fine for the length of time it takes you to get your gear together and hike it up of the cliff (most of our shoredive white sea bass spots are not far from the road but are accessible only by a steep goat trail down the face of a seaside cliff). When bringing the big ladies up the cliff, I like to remember the wisdom of the African bushmen who have a saying: "Meat is never heavy."
As I mentioned, there is almost no wrong way to prepare white sea bass, but my favorite recipe, and the recipe we plan to use for the wedding, is this one:
SUMMER SAUCE FOR WHITE FISH (WHITE SEA BASS, HALIBUT, CABEZON, CALICO, LINGCOD)
1 cup mayo
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs Lillet Blanc (or sherry)
Juice of 1 fresh lime
½ tbs sesame oil
2 minced garlic cloves
Handful fresh chopped fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and tarragon
Couple dashes of Tobasco
Combine ingredients, stir well. It will have the consistency of salad dressing and look disgusting, but after it’s cooked with the fish it is terrific. Cover thick fillets of fish in a very generous portion of the sauce and wrap in foil. Bake 25 minutes at 475F, or lay on hot grill. Sealed in the foil with the sauce, the fillets will come out super moist, rich, and flavorful. It can also be used as a marinade and brushed on fish which is cooking right on the grill. Use the cooked sauce left in your pan as a gravy to serve with sides like rice or veggies.
In the refrigerator, the premade sauce will keep for weeks, so I usually keep plenty of it around for quick and easy fish meals.
Note: We retitled the recipe for our wedding, but it is locally renowned and known by a different name due to its 'effectiveness' as a recipe for dates.

ICEHOUSE return to Queensland for
two exclusive shows with Models as special guests
“Ever since the early days of the band, back when we were Flowers, ICEHOUSE has had a great reception from Queensland audiences” enthuses ICEHOUSE frontman Iva Davies. “When we started touring again a couple of years ago I asked myself if that would still be the case. It turns out that whether the venue has been a winery or a theatre or a festival or at pubs and clubs, the answer has been, ‘Yes, they are!’ Everyone associated with the band is looking forward to getting back up there in January, and seeing our friends and fans at the shows.”
ICEHOUSE’s catalogue of anthems, hits, musical experimentation and high level of musical dedication has made them a household name in Australia with an amazing eight top 10 albums and over thirty Top 40 singles including We Can Get Together, Electric Blue, Hey Little Girl, Crazy and the alternative national anthem to Australians everywhere, Great Southern Land. They have sales records equivalent to platinum albums locally and internationally.
The re-releases of all the albums from the band’s catalogue of recordings plus the platinum-selling White Heat: 30 Hits compilation prompted Davies to return the band to live performances after a 16 year hiatus. The results in 2011 and 2012 were outstanding – sell-out shows, screaming fans, encore performances and a revitalized audience for this iconic band.
In October 2012 ICEHOUSE sold out shows in South Eastern Queensland on their Primitive Colours tour and now they’ve been invited back again and as Davies’ comments above attest, the band are looking forward to it.
Iva is also pleased that Models will be on the shows as the two bands shared similar beginnings. "We used to see one another all over the country as we developed our sound and they developed theirs. I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing Sean, Andrew, Mark and Barton perform those songs in this new era."
So what will the fans see that is different? To that, Davies laughs and says, “We have such a lot of songs to choose from that we can move them around so that each show can be different. Our crew are preparing new visuals and we’ve got a few musical surprises to throw in to celebrate the 2014 Summer. It will be a lot of fun and we look forward to seeing everyone there.”

Re Models: Kelly, Duffield, Price & Ferrie are back to showcase new material and play some old favourites.
Models celebrate the musical adventurousness, sly humour and pioneering nature of the early Australian alternative music scene with a sound that is as fresh now as it was then. 2010 saw Models inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame after gaining notoriety in the early '80s with ground breaking mini album 'Cut Lunch', but it was their long player 'The Pleasure Of Your Company' featuring the hit 'I Hear Motion' which cracked it commercially for the band.
Now, 25 years after the heady days of massive hits & platinum albums in the '80s, 2014 will see the band release a long awaited album of new material. In December, Models will be previewing new tracks from the album at the upcoming shows and will have a special, limited edition EP for sale at the gigs.
This is the chance to see the band back in action, playing the tracks you know and love and some brand spanking new music to satisfy the most hard-core Model fans - it's been years in the making and you won't be disappointed!

Best Violin Overall:
A member of the string family, the violin has been in production since the 16th century. It was the perfect instrument to keep up with a rapidly changing music industry, as musicians became more and more proficient and music began to move from the noble, private sphere, into the public domain. Its ability to closely emulate the lyrical qualities of the human voice, and versatility across multiple music genres have made it an extremely popular instrument.
Finding the right violin can be extremely difficult, as each one comes with an entirely different tone, feel, and most importantly, price tag. All of the violins on this list were chosen because they offer the best value overall, when taking into consideration price, tone, playability, and quality.
Every violin on this list has been professionally set up therefore minimizing the need for adjustment after purchase, and contributing to both the beautiful tone and easy playability of each instrument. Each of these instruments has also been constructed under expert supervision by established professionals. These select instruments produce a professional tone while remaining reasonably affordable option for a quality instrument.
This instrument produces an extremely unique tone and is remarkably even across all four strings, giving the player the best bang for their buck. It's a versatile instrument that plays well no matter the genre. Read Full Review

Best Student Violin:
There comes a point when budding violinists know they want to stick with this instrument for a long time, and are ready to find a violin they can call their own. Purchasing a violin can be a good investment, for although violins are some of the more expensive musical instruments, they dont lose their value over time when treated with care. If the violin sounds good and is easy to play, owning a violin rather than renting one can be an inspiration for a young musician, encouraging them to spend more time playing the instrument. Finding such a violin can be a challenge, however, as every instrument is unique.
There is no substitute for playing several violins to find the one that is right for you. If you dont have a good violin shop in your area, some shops are willing to ship several violins to you, allowing you to try them out and keep the one you like best. A good student violin will have a pleasant sound, consistent tone quality through the entire range of notes, responsive dynamic range, and will feel easy to play. Good craftsmanship is essential - look for a solid spruce top, aged maple back and sides, ebony pegs which dont stick or come loose, and fine tuners on an ebony tailpiece.
The list below includes instruments from trusted shops which consistently receive good reviews from teachers, parents and students. They are all available as sets complete with a case and a bow for between $400 and $600. NOTE: If you order any violin from a manufacturers website or other online source rather than from a violin shop, take it to a professional local violin shop for setup and adjustment to ensure good tone and playability.

Best Electric Violin:
Electric violins have come a long way in the last decade. In the past, violinists looking to amplify their sound had few choices. Pickups for acoustic violins were vulnerable to feedback issues, but fully electric instruments had a distinctive tone that wasn't always desirable. These days, advances in pickup technology provide a stage violinist with much better options which not only sound great, but come in all sorts of interesting shapes.
One thing to keep in mind if you've never played an electric violin before is it can feel a little bit different from a traditional violin. Strings are often a bit wider apart for the sake of pickup clarity which can result in the fingerboard seeming a bit chunky (especially if there are five or more strings). Also, some electric violins have uniquely shaped bodies, which can require a bit of adjustment in playing style if you use the body of your violin as a spatial reference when you shift positions.
The electric violins on this list were chosen foremost for their high tone quality, with playability and user options factoring into the choices as well. They represent a variety of options available for modern violinists.
NS Design makes the electric violins of choice for many professional musicians. They are known as the gold standard for tone and playability. The instrument options, hardware, easy-to-attach accessories, and an excellent attention to detail show a real understanding of a string player's needs. Read Full Review

The House and Senate continued their game of ping-pong late Monday as the federal government lurched toward a shutdown.
The House passed yet another proposal to fund the government and undermine ObamaCare, but it was just as quickly rejected by the Senate.
Shortly after that, the House asked the Senate to convene a conference committee on a possible funding measure.
Just more than an hour later, the Senate rejected the measure in a 54-46 vote by tabling it. The vote only required a majority vote.
Every Democrat in the Senate voted to table, while upper chamber Republicans backed the measure.
The latest GOP plan would fund the government through mid-December, delay the individual mandate under ObamaCare, and force top government officials to use ObamaCare. The government is set to shutdown after midnight.
The earlier House vote carried some signs that House GOP leaders may be running out of ideas for passing a spending resolution that somehow tweaks ObamaCare.
Earlier iterations of the House resolution passed with either two, one or zero "no" votes from Republicans, but a full dozen House Republicans voted no this time.
Some Republicans decided to oppose the latest measure because it didn't do enough to undermine ObamaCare, while others decided it's time to ignore the healthcare law and pass the clean resolution supported by the Senate in order to keep the government open on Tuesday.
Republicans voting against it were Reps. Michele BachmannMichele BachmannEx-rep admires furs amid PETA inaugural gala Why Republicans took aim at an ethics watchdog Will Trump back women’s museum?

Massie (Ky.) said the Republican offers were moving in the wrong direction, especially given that the Senate keeps stripping out the House’s anti-ObamaCare measures. “I’m concerned that a clean CR is the ultimate result of this negotiating strategy,” Massie told reporters.
House Republicans were expected to meet at 11 p.m. to figure out their next step.
"The Senate is going to have to explain how they defend special treatment for members of Congress, special treatment for big business and special interests," Majority Leader Eric CantorEric CantorRyan reelected Speaker in near-unanimous GOP vote Financial technology rules are set to change in the Trump era Trump allies warn: No compromise on immigration MORE (R-Va.) said after the House vote.

Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerLobbyists expect boom times under Trump Last Congress far from ‘do-nothing’ Top aide: Obama worried about impeachment for Syria actions MORE (R-Ohio) refused to answer questions from reporters after the vote.
The latest House GOP bill was developed after the Senate killed a House plan to delay all of ObamaCare for a year and repeal the law's medical device tax. As they turned to the idea of repealing the individual mandate, Republicans said the Obama administration itself has delayed so much of the law, and that it's unfair for it to insist that the individual insurance mandate must take effect for average Americans.
"This is an issue of fairness," said BoehnerJohn BoehnerLobbyists expect boom times under Trump Last Congress far from ‘do-nothing’ Top aide: Obama worried about impeachment for Syria actions MORE, who spoke twice on the floor. "How can we give waivers and breaks to all the big union guys out there, how do we give a break to all the big businesses out there, and yet stick our constituents with a bill that they don't want and a bill they can't afford?"
Boehner said he and President Obama spoke by phone tonight, and that Obama told him, "I'm not going to negotiate. I'm not going to negotiate, I'm not going to do this."
"Well, I would say to the president, this is not about me, and it's not about Republicans here in Congress," Boehner said. "It's about fairness to the American people."
Democrats continued to argue that the GOP plan is doing nothing more than risking a government shutdown, since the Senate and Obama have said they will only accept a clean extension of spending.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said today's series of vote represent a "shameful" day in the House, and asked the GOP to allow a vote on a clean spending resolution.
"[Let] the Republican Party have the courage of its rhetoric and let the House work its will," Hoyer said. "I dare you to do that. Let Democracy work."
Cantor replied that the essence of Democracy is that laws treat everyone equally, something he said the Obama administration has failed to ensure.
"There should be no special treatment for big business. There should be no special treatment for members of Congress," Cantor said.
"There should be no special treatment for anyone under the law."

About The Book
From master storyteller Patricia Polacco comes the tragic and beautiful story inspired by Wallace Hartley — the musician who played with his band to calm the passengers of the Titanic as the ship sank.
One afternoon, Jonathan Harker Weeks didn’t feel like practicing the piano. So his grandfather decided to tell him a story to show how much of an impact music can have. When he was a child growing up poor in Ireland, his mother made sure he learned to play the fiddle, despite their challenges.
After his mother passed away and he was on his own, Jonathan’s grandfather fell asleep hiding in a mail sack and was taken to a ship. When he woke up, he realized he was on the Titanic on its maiden voyage, and it was there that he met Wallace Hartley and Mrs. Weeks, a kind man and woman who took him in. Then one night, the majestic ship hit an iceberg. He and Mrs. Weeks were put on a lifeboat — and Mr. Hartley and his band bravely continued to play to calm the crew and passengers.
The story of Wallace Hartley is true and he is known throughout the world as a hero. The New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of The Keeping Quilt Patricia Polacco offers this stunning and heartbreaking picture book to celebrate the memory and bravery of a single man who used the power of music to comfort thousands of people during a catastrophic situation.

Developer given go-ahead for new Route 3 ramp in Kingston
The planning for construction of a ramp to Route 3 in Kingston will be sped up thanks to the state’s granting of a waiver to a local developer.
Lloyd Geisinger, the owner of Thorndike Development, intends to build the ramp as a way to minimize traffic near the planned 1021 Kingston’s Place development.
The Kingston’s Place plans call for 730 homes and 300,000 square feet of commercial space next to the Kingston commuter rail station. The project was proposed under a state law that pays communities for allowing the construction of affordable housing near public transportation.
Voters approved a zoning change for 1021 Kingston’s Place at town meeting last April. Land transfers that would allow for the ramp’s construction were approved at a special town meeting in October.
The new ramp, south of Exit 9, would help handle the heavy traffic in the area of the Independence Mall and Smith’s Lane.
Hoping to begin working with the state Highway Department on the design and engineering elements of the ramp project, Geisinger applied for a waiver several months ago. Without the waiver, Thorndike Development would have to complete a comprehensive environmental study before any work could be done.
Geisinger wanted to break the schedule for the development into two phases, the first being the ramp and the second being the rest of the construction.
Earlier this month, Kingston selectmen wrote to the state office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, asking that Thorndike Development be granted the waiver so traffic improvements could be started. Geisinger also got support from several other town boards and committees.
“It was heartening to see how many state agencies and local boards came out in support of the waiver request,” he said. “We didn’t get a single negative e-mail from anyone, and that was very encouraging.”
The waiver request was approved on Wednesday of this week.
The next step, Geisinger said, is to study information that came along with the waiver: an outline from Ian Bowles, the state secretary of energy and environmental affairs, listing various things Thorndike Development will have to do in order to complete the permitting process for the project.
“It’s been a lot of work. We’ll probably go back into hibernation for a few months,” Geisinger said.

The National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) 2020 Presidential Candidate, John Dramani Mahama says his party will be more vigilant at the polls during the 2024 general elections.
Speaking on Akina FM, a local radio station in Techiman, during his ‘Thank You’ tour of the Bono East Region, the former President said the NDC won the 2020 parliamentary and presidential elections but was robbed of victory.
“The 2020 elections were rigged for the NPP. We have however accepted the ruling of the Supreme Court for the sake of peace. However, come 2024, the NDC will be extra vigilant at the polling stations because that is where the elections are won.”
“So at the polling station [in the next election], it will be do or die. I am not saying all die be die. I’m saying it will be do or die because the right thing must be done,” he said.
John Mahama had filed a petition challenging the results of the general polls, insisting that none of the nine presidential candidates obtained the mandatory 50%+1 vote constitutional threshold to be declared the winner of the polls.
In his petition filed on December 30, 2020, Mr. Mahama sought five reliefs from the apex court.
He among things asked the Supreme Court to declare the EC’s declaration of President Nana Akufo-Addo as winner of the polls as unconstitutional, null and void.
Mr. Mahama based his arguments on some declaration errors made by the EC as well as allegations of vote padding.
He also asked the apex court to order the Electoral Commission (EC) to conduct a re-run of the election between himself and President Akufo-Addo.
But three months after the trial commenced, the Supreme Court, ruled that the petition as filed by John Mahama was without merit. – CNR
