Telco Immunity Approved by Senate, Obama
After a morning of fiery debate, the U.S. Senate voted July 9 to grant retroactive immunity to telephone companies that participated in the White House's warrantless domestic spying program. The 69-28 vote came after the Senate defeated three amendments all aimed at either removing or modifying the immunity provision in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama voted for the three amendments to let civil lawsuits proceed against the carriers but voted for the overall bill. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain was not present for the vote.
The House approved the legislation June 20. The bill now heads to President Bush, who is expected to sign it.
The bill essentially provides the telephone companies legal protection from more than 40 civil lawsuits claiming the carriers provided customer telephone and e-mail records of millions of U.S. citizens-often without a warrant or subpoena-to the government.
"The companies acted in good faith, no matter the legality," said Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo. "The companies acted on documentation provided by the administration."
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said civil actions should be properly directed against government officials who directed the program. "We need to protect the companies that provided the intercept and collection. The government is the issue, not them."
Rockefeller added, "I am convinced the bill takes the right approach."
Under the new FISA bill, a district court will review the authorizations the White House used to induce telephone carriers to participate in the program. If the court determines the authorizations existed, the civil cases pending against the carriers would not proceed.
"This is a matter for the courts to decide, not the legislative branch," said Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn. "Let the courts decide this issue. It is not the place of the U.S. Senate."
Dodd has led the opposition to the telco immunity for more than a year.
"Some may argue that in fact the companies received documentation from the administration stating that the president authorized the wiretapping program and that therefore it was legal," Dodd said. "These advocates will argue that the mere existence of documentation justifies retroactive immunity-that because a document was received, companies should be retroactively exonerated of all wrongdoing."
Dodd called that logic flawed.
"The question is, were their actions legal? It's a rather straightforward and surprisingly uncomplicated question," Dodd said. "Did the companies break the law? Either the companies complied with the law as it was at the time, or they didn't."
The telcos contend that they relied on existing federal, state and local laws and assurances from the highest level of government when providing access to consumers' personal telephone calls and e-mail without a subpoena. Bush had promised to veto any FISA legislation that did not include immunity for the carriers.
Bush said in February that without immunity for the carriers, "We may not be able to secure the private sector's cooperation with our intelligence efforts. If you cooperate with the government and then get sued for billions of dollars because of the cooperation, you're less likely to cooperate. And obviously we're going to need people working with us to find out what the enemy is saying and thinking and plotting and planning."
The New York Times first broke the story of the administration's warrantless wiretapping in late 2005, and USA Today later reported that the National Security Agency is using information provided by telephone carriers to mine 10s of millions of calling records for data.

For the past few years, our kids have taken swim lessons each summer. We started with group swim lessons for our oldest, but those just didn't suit her learning style at all. So, we switched to private, one-on-one instruction for both of our older kids and they did better, but it still seemed that very little progress was being made. Naturally, this year, as I was filling out the paperwork to return to those same swim lessons, I started to wonder if it was really worth it. Thirty-minute lessons, four days a week for two weeks means four total hours of instruction each summer. That's a long time to be in the water. They should have learned some significant skills in that amount of time, right? Yeah, I thought so too.
I decided to put off registration to give it some more thought. Right around that time, I came across Hollie Oelkers-Brown and her business, Hill Country ISR (ISR being short for Infant Swimming Resource). The more I read, the more excited I became. Then I watched this video and was hooked. Did you see what that tiny baby did? If a BABY can do it, why couldn't my kids do it too? I knew they could, but traditional swim lessons just weren't getting us there. So, we signed up.
"What I love most is seeing the excitement on the face of a child as their confidence in their skills starts to grow. I have seen kids who were fearful of the water happily jump in and swim across the pool in just a few short lessons. Kids who struggled to put their face in the water or find stillness in their float do so beautifully and willingly. Nothing beats a child's excitement at swimming and floating on their own."
In the beginning, I was skeptical. I mean, after several years of swim lessons, what about this method of teaching could really bring results when the others didn't? How would they learn anything in just ten minutes a day? What I ended up learning though, is that this program is based on over fifty years of research and development and it is nothing like traditional swim lessons.
"What makes ISR different is the lifesaving skills aspect", Hollie explained. "Just like with traditional lessons, children are taught to swim. However, ISR also teaches kids to float which is a position that can be held for very long periods of time and allows them to save their own lives! A properly skilled ISR graduate can get into the float no matter how they enter the water, use their problem-solving skills to determine a safe way to exit, and get to that exit on their own."
Waiting his turn...and trying to figure out what these funny rings were for!
And even though lessons were short, our kids were working hard and ten minutes proved to be just long enough. When I asked Hollie about the short lessons she told me that they are "intentionally kept short and frequent not only for safety reasons but to also accommodate how young children learn. By moving slowly and teaching in small increments, children are quickly able to fully understand the skills being taught. This is all done through very precise hand placements and quick reinforcement. By using this method, ISR instructors are able to teach children who may not speak the same language, cannot hear or are completely nonverbal, and also those with specific medical conditions or disabilities. Lessons are always positive, focusing on reinforcement of even the tiniest improvements."
In the first week, our Big Girl, who did NOT like having her face in the water at all, started out by learning to float.
Our son preferred to stand on the steps and "swim" toward the instructor's hand. She would then turn his head to guide him into a float position.
Two different kids with totally different learning styles, starting points, and sets of fears...and she was able to effectively teach them both. Hollie said she has her training to thank for this skill. "ISR instructors go through a rigorous screening, training, and certification process. This includes extensive education in anatomy and physiology, child development, and common childhood medical conditions." She continued, "This, coupled with many hours of hands-on training, produces highly skilled and qualified instructors who are able to alter lessons to any child's experience level or needs."
By the second week, Big Girl was beginning to get comfortable being on her tummy with her face in the water and was actually making her way to the stairs, pool ladder, or the instructor in a swimming position. By the third week, they were both doing really well on their backs and their fronts and the remaining weeks of lessons focused on refining these floating and swimming skills and giving them plenty of practice to build their confidence.
In the fifth and final week, they were put through a "test" of sorts to see if they could find their way out of the pool in pajamas and also in winter clothing, including shoes. They were put into the pool from just about every angle in which a kid could potentially enter a pool and successfully got themselves to the edge and pulled themselves out of the water every time. There was no panicking, no sinking to the bottom, no swallowing water, no choking; they knew exactly what to do! The technique: float, swim, float...repeat until you reach the edge. Amazing. And guess what? Ten-minute lessons, five days a week for five weeks equals the SAME FOUR HOURS OF INSTRUCTION we'd had in our previous swim lessons (plus ten minutes, to be technical); only now, our kids could SAVE THEIR OWN LIVES.
Do I think I could effectively teach this method to my own kids? NO WAY. There was a lot of attention to detail and great care and precision involved, that I'm just not qualified to handle. We started each lesson with a quick overview of what they'd had to eat, how much sleep they'd had the night before, a discussion on bowel movements (yes, you read that right), and whether or not any medications had been taken. Then, throughout each lesson, Hollie monitored their body temperature, watched for signs of exhaustion, felt on their abdomen for any signs of water in the belly, helped them work up a burp or two when they actually did take in a little water (or too much air), and made sure they were never underwater for longer than was safe. She literally "trained" my children with keywords, finger taps, specific launch positions, and tiny little tweaks and corrections until it was all just right. By their last day, they were going after dive rings in the shallow end and jumping from the side of the pool through a hoop in the water like little acrobats...and it was AWESOME.
Did my kids always think it was so awesome? HECK NO. That first week was hard. Then just as they were starting to get used to it, the weekend came, and we were back to square one the following Monday. But then, as they began to grow more confident, the fear began to subside. By the end of our lessons with Hollie, they were crying because they didn't want to leave! We made it through those first two weeks, we made it through to the end, and now we have successful "aquatic problem solvers" to show for it...and I can breathe a sigh of relief.
"If there is one thing that I could stress, it would be the importance of proper life-saving swim skills in regards to ending childhood drownings", Hollie concluded through our email interview. "Drowning is the number one cause of death among children four-years-old and younger. Flotation devices used in the pool do not improve the likelihood of a child surviving a drowning event; in fact, they greatly lead to a false sense of security for both the parent and the child and teach the child to attempt to tread water to survive. Treading water is the most energy consuming position in the water and often leads to drowning when attempted for any duration. A comprehensive approach of barrier methods, adult supervision, life-saving swim skills, and CPR is the key to better outcomes for drowning situations."
While ISR instructors are only required to teach kids aged six-years-old and younger for certification, Hollie is able to teach older children (and adults too!) with the ISR method. Lessons are ten minutes each, five days a week, for an average of six weeks and are always one-on-one and tailored to each child's skill level and needs. The cost per week is comparable to what we were paying for private lessons with another popular swim instructor in our area, and discounts are offered for siblings, military families, first-responders, and medical personnel. You can find Hill Country ISR on the Web, Instagram, and Facebook and you can also contact Hollie by email at h.brown@infantswim.com.

If a robot is able to make believe a human being is dealing with a person, something breaks: the machine outweighs the humans, which leads to great possibilities, but also awakens a hidden fear.

Best Kids Smartwatch With Gps
How do you choose the best GPS tracker for kids?
Jiobit has been the best GPS tracker for kids, thanks to a kid-proof design that can withstand the elements, though the company has started taken orders on a new version. Jiobit was compatible with any smartphone caregivers might have. This allowed you to know the exact location and who your children are with you. It's also useful for nanny/babysitters looking in on their kids.
Lil Tracker offers a more comfortable option than a clip-on tracker for your kids. Although the app is confusing, Lil Tracker's watch is very wearable and affordable. Apple Watch SE is not an ideal option for kids, but it does offer a unique feature called Family Setup that tracks the location of people wearing LTE-enabled models of smartwatches. We wouldn't recommend the Apple Watch to older children or parents due to its high price.
Although you may consider trying other GPS trackers such as the regular ones or those made specifically for kids, we warn against it. GPS trackers designed for kids have the best features. Dedicated GPS trackers, like the very accurate the Spot Gen3 can be overwhelming for youngsters to use.
Also, Apple's AirTag is not designed to be used for anything but objects. It may seem tempting to use the Ultra Wideband tracker with children or pets. However, the range isn't quite as great as a dedicated people tracker. Apple has even prohibited this kind of use.
Can these GPS Trackers Be Used for Seniors and Pets as Well?
You may not want to lose track of just your kids. GPS trackers are a good way to monitor seniors and your pets. And as you might imagine, the companies that make the best GPS trackers for kids also have devices better suited for older members of the family or pets that might run off.
Jiobit has two versions of its tracker. The Jiobit Next is the first, but it's neutral enough to be worn by grandparents or children. Jiobit therefore sells both devices at the same prices for everyone. Jiobit offers a service plan that includes both a tracker and a fabric pouch. This can be attached to a collar for pets.
Lil Tracker watches for senior citizens come in a less conservative black and are slightly more expensive than those for kids, at least the 2G model. For seniors, and for children, the 4G version of Lil Tracker watches is $129. The company has a version of its tracker for pets, but it's listed as sold out as of this writing.
Apple Watch SE is stylish and appealing to senior citizens. The LTE version costs approximately the same regardless of who wears it.

These Smartwatches are Cheaper than a Phone for Kids
It's easy to know their exact location without getting lost.
Parents don't like the thought of strapping their children's smartwatches to their wrist. The average child requires less screen time than a smartphone. The best smartwatches are for children that allow for two-way communication and geofencing. They also allow for tracking and other features. Parents can even forgo or remove devices they once considered indispensable. A smartwatch for kids lets you de-clutter and simplify your life, not add more clutter. Digital training wheels are also available to assist children in gaining independence and building confidence. The ability to quickly react to an emergency is a key feature. All that is possible with a little piece of tech, like a phone for kids (and its military grade GPS), it would be a deal many parents, even us, would accept in a heartbeat.

Dads who are interested in getting their child the first smart watch for them should feel secure. Smartphones have unrestricted access to internet and social media. Data charges and vulnerability to losing data can make it difficult to get lost. However, the wrist-mounted watches provide more communication options and they don't require a browser. They also fit easily to smaller bodies. These watches also offer GPS tracking, calling and texting as well as a pre-approved list of contacts. Many also feature a panic button for emergency situations. While some include entertainment, few other options are as satisfying for children who love an iPhone or iPad. Bonus: With much lower data charges and less upkeep, all smartwatches can be cheaper than smartphones. Watches on this list are simple to use and allow children and adults alike to keep in touch. And that is exactly what you want.

Q: Parsing result for nested value from api response Hi I get a payload from soap api as result.
 from result I did following
console.log(util.inspect(result, false, null));

I get following result
{ 'S:Envelope':
             { '$' : { 'xmlns:s : 'http://.....'},
             'S:Body':
               { 'n:sendresponse':
                 { '$': {'xmlns:ns2': 'http://......'},
                   tranResult:{id: '', temp: '224'}}}}

What I want to do is parse value of temp. I am doing something like this
var resl=util.inspect(result, false, null);

I dont know how to proceed with it. Please let me know how I can get value of temp from the result and assign it to var temperature
Thanks

A: JSON is a first class citizen in JavaScript and you can traverse its structure easily like a tree. In the given example, you want to traverse further down until you get to temp. You can go from the root node (the object itself) to the child element by calling the child element name either directly using dot notation (e.g., parent.child) or using brackets if it has special characters or if the child name is stored in another variable (e.g., parent['child']).
For the given example, the path to temp is o['S:Envelope']['S:Body']['n:sendresponse']['tranResult']['temp'].

A: If it's a json object, you first have to parse it to get an object which will make it easier to access the member temp and retrieve its value.
How to work with object in JS. Check working with object.
Parsing json, you can use either JSON.parse(jsonString) or jsonString.toJSON() (if you can in your case) to get the object.

How family offices can really make an impact
Jag Alexeyev
Despite their ambitions in the area, family offices are finding it tough to identify high-quality investments which can generate a positive social and environmental impact, as well as a financial return. Challenges in conducting due diligence, measuring impact, and securing deal flow in private markets are acute.
Waiting for the best private opportunity delays progress, however. So family offices keen to make an impact should urgently consider the rapidly growing range of innovative public funds that target sustainable outcome.
Family offices have tremendous resources to generate impact through unique private market investments. Their role in the area will become increasingly important, as the next generation gets more involved in management
At least $50 billion worldwide is managed with an impact lens through registered investments funds such as mutual funds and UCITS strategies. They attracted $7 billion of inflows during 2018.
Overall, $76 billion of net new money last year went to registered funds with an intentionally sustainable, responsible, or impact investment objective. This record amount was followed by a powerful $26 billion in the first quarter of 2019 despite a roller coaster ride for stocks late last year.
Around $10 billion of the total inflow last year went to strategies that directly addressed climate change, the environment, green bonds, electric vehicles, and carbon-efficient strategies. But much more can be achieved.
Such funds may not represent the preferred vehicle for family offices, but can serve as liquid allocations to deliver some real impact while they search for more attractive investment opportunities.
Family offices, by supporting publicly distributed impact funds, can also help to scale solutions and make them more readily available to a yet broader range of investors. Never underestimate the power in pooling investments, and networking.
The best-selling funds reveal a clear shift in demand towards impact investing. In addition, many of them are aligning the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their objectives. The European Union's new classification system – or taxonomy – for environmentally-sustainable economic activities will provide investors with another way to measure the impact of their investments.
Some funds offer access outside mainstream asset classes to alternative strategies such as green bonds and microfinance. A large number lean heavily toward emerging markets where SDG outcomes can spark real change.
Amundi has proved what can be achieved last year, launching Planet Emerging Green One (EGO) with a remarkable $1.4 billion of assets. The Luxembourg-domiciled fund invests in emerging market bonds with the allocation to green bonds rising to 100% over a 7-year period. It received a cornerstone commitment from the IFC, a sister organisation to the World Bank, and raised capital from other institutional investors across Europe and the Middle East.
The IFC and Amundi expect their fund to encourage local institutions to issue green bonds. An IFC-managed technical assistance program will support the creation of new markets for climate finance by developing green bond policies, providing training programs for bankers, and facilitating the adoption of best practice, across the world.
Switzerland-based BlueOrchard Finance introduced its Emerging Markets SDG Impact Bond fund in October 2018. Assets reached €230 million by April 2019. The Luxembourg UCITS aims to provide investors with a liquid alternative with exposure to emerging and frontier markets through investments that advance the SDGs.
It invests in bonds of development banks, financials and microfinance institutions, with the aim to foster financial inclusion and fund economically vulnerable communities around the world. Focused impact targets include sustainable infrastructure projects and clean energy initiatives.
In addition, BlueOrchard's older flagship fund attracted €395 million in 2018 and sports €1.6 billion in assets.
Montanaro Better World, one of the best-selling impact funds last year, also aligns with the SDGs. It raised €153 million of net flows to invest globally in small and mid-cap companies that make a positive impact on society. It uses the 17 UN SDGs to assess impact, condensing them into six themes to identify companies whose products or services tackle sustainable issues.
Through both funds and direct investments, the impact investing market exceeded $500 billion at the end of 2018, according to the Global Impact Investing Network.
The IFC suggests the potential investor appetite for impact investing could end up reaching $26 trillion – $21 trillion in publicly traded stocks and bonds, and $5 trillion in private markets including private equity, non-sovereign private debt, and venture capital.
To help set a market standard, the IFC introduced a set of nine operating principles for impact management in collaboration with industry participants. First adopters comprised 60 organizations, among them Amundi, AXA IM, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse, Nuveen, Prudential Financial, UBS, and Zurich Insurance Group.
Family offices have tremendous resources to generate impact through unique private market investments. Their role in the area will become increasingly important, as the next generation gets more involved in management.
Funds represent a great way to start deploying this approach, pending the development of direct investing opportunities – and ways to measure their effectiveness. Family offices also need to be prepared to work with the reserves of talent employed by asset managers and other institutions to achieve the operating scale that really will make an impact.

Letter to President Bush regarding the Gulf War
President Bush,
I was planning to send you this letter as a telegram, 2 weeks ago, but because of your recent medical incident, I figured out that thousands of telegrams and letters will be coming to the White House and that my telegram would be lost among them, so I waited until now. I called the White House and talked to a lady who gave me your FAX number, and that will make it more economical to send it as a letter, FAXed, rather than as a telegram, though I consider this letter to be so urgent and so important, especially as the news is coming out from Kuwait about this what is called trial of non—Kuwaiti nationals. Hopefully the staff at the White House will give you this letter. It is going to be included in my book, which is going to be published in a few weeks, regarding my personal experience about the Gulf War. I was deeply involved as a co—founder of peace groups and as Chairman of the last year, newly founded Arab—Americans Against Military Intervention.
I went twice to Baghdad and Kuwait, first in September 1990 and in January 1991. I was the first and the only one to visit Kuwait in September 1990 after I persuaded the Iraqi Minister of Information to allow me to use a CNN camera to Video Kuwait and make interviews. And I was the last and the only one to Video Kuwait again before the war broke out. Since I left Kuwait on January 16, 1991 only 6 hours before the war started. Having to endure 3 days of bombardment close to Baghdad.
The reason for this letter is important and very urgent, it is related to my family and relatives, in Kuwait. Three weeks ago, my brother, Ibrahim, who went to Kuwait in 1960, before its independence and has been working since, was very frightened about his only son Khalil, 24 years old, born in Kuwait, was in hiding from Kuwaitis wearing camouflage American uniforms came to his house, smashing furniture and looking for his son, and had they found him, he would have been either dead or in prison. My brother-in-Law, Hassan Sahtut is still in prison and had it not been for my wife's frantic call to the International Red Cross, to find him and to get him out of jail for a short time and treat him in the hospital of wounds inflicted by beating. My brother—in—law would be dead by now, considering that he is diabetic. That will leave his wife and two children. His case number through the International Red Cross is 300-062. My cousin called me two weeks ago, they took his son Saad, who is 20 years old, born in Kuwait, they beat him for no reason except that they saw him having chewing gum in his mouth, and when they asked him to spit it out, they did not like the way he did it, so they took him and beat him for more than 24 hours, and had it not been for some connection to get him out of jail, he would be sitting here. When his Mom called me, she was in tears. She said she had been wanting to talk in the beginning about those atrocities and brutality against the Palestinians by the Kuwaitis but she was silent, she could not say anything, but now, when it comes to her children, she will not be silent any more.
Some of my relatives died during the escape from Kuwait on the road to Jordan. I hear news coming from friends in Kuwait about the Kuwaitis looting the Palestinians houses arresting them without charges, murdering and torturing them, and just last week, a friend told me that Mahmud Alschwa, a very prominent Palestinian from Gaza had his car taken, and his house looted.
It is so ironic, Mr. President, that my brother was quite a sympathizer with the Kuwaitis during to the Iraqi .presence in Kuwait. His daughter is married to a Kuwaiti national, his name is Ahmad Shuman and his son Khalil, who the Kuwaiti were looking for, was helping the Kuwaiti resistance. My brother—in—law was working with prominent Kuwaiti, El Kahled, and when he took me from Kuwait to Baghdad, back in Sept of 1990, he told me 'that he has to cooperate with the Iraqis in order to recover more than 400 cars taken from his Kuwaiti employer, and he was so critical of the Iraqis that I was concerned about his safety by the Iraqis. All those people have only one common denominator, that they are Palestinians and if those people who are very well known to be sympathizers to the Kuwaitis, what has happened and what is happening to the Palestinians who have no connections?
What bothers me, Mr. President, is that I did not hear one word from you about those atrocities being committed against Palestinians, when I see here in your speech of Oct.15, 1990:
"Every day now, new work filters out of Kuwait about the ghastly atrocities perpetrated by Saddam's forces.. .of a systematic assault on the soul of a nation, summary executions, routine torture… newborn babies thrown out of incubators.. .dialysis patients ripped from their machines.. .Hitler revisited. But remember, when Hitler's war ended there were the Nuremberg trials."
Well, Mr. President, you rushed to war in order to justify rescuing the Kuwaitis from those brutal atrocities on moral grounds, when many of those reports were either exaggerated, or totally fabricated and lies. There were no newborn babies thrown out of incubators, no dialysis patients ripped from their machines, because I went twice and I interviewed doctors, including Kuwaitis in private, I interviewed hospital nurses, I brought the daily book from those hospitals showing no newborn babies died during that time. I saw dialysis machines are stored in other parts of the hospital. I have everything on video. I held four international press conferences in Sept. of 1990 and in January 1991, 2 in Amman, Jordan and 2 at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. and one at the United Nations the day they voted for military action. I have been interviewed by both radio talk shows and local and national newspapers about this. I could not believe that none of those reports have reached you, Mr. President. I wonder if this is a cover up, or the people surrounding you kept you out of touch.
When I went the second time to Baghdad, on January 11, 1991, to attend the Islamic conference, I talked briefly to Mr. Saddam Hussein at the conference and I delivered a letter to him through his assistant, which would have been the most important letter he would have received in his life, since in that letter I explained to him that there was a trap to lure him into war in order to destroy his military and economic structure, that his country will go back thirty years. I told him in my letter, there is one way to avoid this catastrophe is to declare his intentions to pull out of Kuwait because nothing else would be accepted. I told him if the hour of truth comes, he will be fighting the Allies by himself and those rhetorics from the Arabs and Moslem countries will not materialize in any action to help him. I do not believe that he ever received that letter, and there are many issues I am publishing in my book. I am wondering Mr. President if this letter will reach you. I hope so.
What also bothers me is that those prominent Americans, such as Stephen Solarz, Tom Lantos, Henry Kissinger, Richard Perle, David Horowitz, Mort Zucherman and others who were so much pushing for the war and mentioning about the atrocities being committed, by the Iraqis did not say any word about those same atrocities are being committed against the Palestinians. Where is this double standard? When Mr. Tom Lantos held a hearing about those atrocities committed by the Iraqis, I talked to his office, and sent a letter to him to allow me to appear before his committee to refute some of those allegations. I got no response. But Mr. President, I am putting you as responsible to do something about it, and I believe you CAN do something about it. We paid with our blood and money to liberate Kuwait, and they better listen, and if nothing is going to be done, I can assure you, Mr. President and tens of Americans who had relatives and friends tortured by the Kuwaitis will be there, every where you go to speak during you campaign and before that, to remind the American people and the voters about this hypocrisy and double standard. We will hold you responsible for the safety of our families and relatives.
I will be waiting for your reply, Mr. President, and I will be waiting for a note from the office that this letter will be delivered to you, Mr. President. If I do not get any response, I will be distributing this letter to the News Media, to members of Congress, to the Embassies and to the United Nations asking for hearings about those atrocities committed by the Kuwaitis. I am also enclosing some materials of interest to you.
God keep you in good health and bless the United States of America.
Mohammad H. Said, M.D.

Уильям Уитби Киркланд (William Whedbee Kirkland) (13 февраля 1833 — 12 мая 1915) — американский военный, бригадный генерал армии Конфедерации в годы Гражданской войны. Единственный морской офицер США, перешедший на сторону Конфедерации.

Ранние годы
Киркланд родился в Хилсборо, в округе Ориндж, Северная Каролина. В 1852 году он поступил в академию Вест-Пойнт, однако, был отчислен в 1855 году. Несмотря на это, он был зачислен в морской корпус США в звании второго лейтенанта.

16 февраля 1859 года Киркланд женился на Сьюзан Харди, племяннице генерала Уильяма Харди.

В 1860 году Киркланд уволился из армии США.

Гражданская война
Когда началась гражданская война, Киркланд собрал и обучил пехотный полк, который назывался 11-й северокаролинский добровольческий полк (11th North Carolina Volunteers), но впоследствии был переименован в 21-й северокаролинский пехотный полк (21st North Carolina). Этот полк был включён в 1-ю бригаду Потомакской армии и принял участие в первом сражении при Бул-Ране. После сражения полк Киркланда был переведен в бригаду Эрли, затем в бригаду Криттендена, а затем командование бригадой принял Исаак Тримбл.

В феврале 1862 года командование всей дивизией принял Ричард Юэлл и в составе этой бригады полк Киркланда участвовал в кампании в долине Шенандоа. 25 мая Киркланд получил сквозное ранение обеих бёдер во время сражения при Винчестере и выбыл из строя на несколько месяцев. «Полковник Киркланд воодушевлял своих людей, размахивая саблей, и в этот момент был ранен в бедро, но не покинул поля боя», писал Тримбл в рапорте про ранение Киркланда.

После выздоровления он некоторое время служил при штабе генерала Патрика Клейберна.

В июне 1863 года Киркланд вернулся в Северовирджинскую армию и возглавил свой прежний полк, который теперь числился в дивизии Джубала Эрли, в бригаде, которой командовал Исаак Эвери. Он участвовал во втором сражении при Винчестере, где его полк не был активно задействован. В первый день сражения при Геттисберге полк Киркланда находился во второй линии дивизии, зато на второй день сражения все три полка бригады Эвери поддерживали атаку луизианских тигров на Кладбищенский Холм.

В августе 1863 года Киркланд получил звание бригадного генерала и стал командовать бывшей бригадой Хета-Петтигрю. Он участвовал в сражении при Бристо-Стейшен, где был ранен в левую руку. В 1864 году он командовал бригадой в битве в Глуши и в сражении при Спотсильвейни, а затем в сражении при Колд-Харбор, где снова получил ранение. В августе 1864 года ему поручили другую бригаду, в составе дивизии Роберта Хука.

Осенью Киркланд служил при Лонгстрите, а в декабре был переведен в Северную Каролину и участвовал в сражении за Форт-Фишер. Когда форт был сдан и южане отошли к Уилмингтону, Киркланд командовал арьергардом и в этой роли участвовал в сражении на Уайз-Форк. Позже он участвовал в сражении при Бентонвилле и сдался федеральной армии вместе с частями Джозефа Джонстона 26 апреля 1865 года в Дурхаме.

Послевоенная деятельность
После войны Киркланд поселился в Саванне, Джорджия, откуда потом переселился в Нью-Йорк и работал на почте. К концу века н уже был инвалидом и жил в солдатском доме в Вашингтоне. Он умер 12 мая 1915 года и был похоронен на кладбище Эльмвууд-Семетери в Шепардстауне, Западная Вирджиния.

Russia Is Leaking Data Like a Sieve
By Wired
It appears to be one of the first times a government has doxed thousands of military personnel in one fell swoop.
Credit: Sefa Karacan/Getty Images
Names, birthdays, passport numbers, job titles—the personal information goes on for pages and looks like any typical data breach. But this data set is very different. It allegedly contains the personal information of 1,600 Russian troops who served in Bucha, a Ukrainian city devastated during Russia's war and the scene of multiple potential war crimes.
The data set is not the only one. Another allegedly contains the names and contact details of 620 Russian spies who are registered to work at the Moscow office of the FSB, the country's main security agency. Neither set of information was published by hackers. Instead they were put online by Ukraine's intelligence services, with all the names and details freely available to anyone online. "Every European should know their names," Ukrainian officials wrote in a Facebook post as they published the data.

Greentrade The Biological Farmers of Australia celebrates 20 years
the Organic Advantage
www.bfa.com.au
INDUSTRY NEWS:The Biological Farmers of Australia celebrates 20 years
What a difference 20 years makes. The Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA) has, like lines on the wall marking a child's growth spurts, marked its progress and growth as an organisation. And this year, in 2007, BFA celebrates 20 years. After two decades of organic advocacy, policy making and standard setting, the BFA has reached a level of maturity and influence which even the passionate originators could not have envisaged.?
Today the BFA is Australia`s main representative grouping of organic and biodynamic interests with over 1200 members, 1600 certified organic operations and over 70% of Australia's organic produce estimated to carry the BFA/ ACO famous Bud logo.
'What we've tried to do is to remove the mystique, make organics mainstream,' said Doug Haas, current Chairman of BFA since 1997.?
'Organics has to be commercially realistic and viable, otherwise it won't work. You have to let an industry grow; you can't put a lid on it. Over the last decade or so, we've become commercially focused. What was a cottage industry has become a commercial reality, which is great for many of us and those who choose organics.?
'Our membership of primary producers and processors has increased three fold over the years. Plus, the BFA group now certifies approximately 70% of all of Australia's organic industry and that's significant.
Mr. Haas says the rationalization of certification bodies and greater economies of scale that BFA has achieved over the years has allowed the BFA to spend money on services to members. 'For example, we have had the successful production of the Australian Organic Journal and Australian Organic Business since 2002. Plus there's the popular fortnightly e-zine, The Organic Advantage.?
'Our funds allow us to run a number of workshops (sometimes called roadshows) around Australia – from Cairns to Perth for the benefit of all industry. We believe in developing the industry as a whole.'?
The development of standards has come a long way since the original AQIS national standard in 1991. The most current version is Australian Organic Standard (AOS) 2006.?
Chair of BFA's Standards Sub-committee, Dr Andrew Monk, says 'it is vital that the organic standard remains in industry members' hands and is driven by those members. BFA has done this and with additional resourcing and input from industry we will see this remain.'
'The increased focus on consumers and retailers is a healthy sign for our organisation and sector as it's where our money comes from. It's no use if no one buys organics. Our change of branding some years ago from BFA to 'Australian Certified Organic' with the Bud logo is about focus on the consumer and keeping it simple.'?
'The proof is always in the organic pudding – and it has a Bud logo emblazoned on it and is enjoyed by the majority of our fine organic sector members. This pudding continues to grow and that's good news for all', says Dr Monk.

ENVIRONMENT: NSW DPI requests farmers' help for climate action project
NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has received a $246,000 climate action project grant from the NSW Government to study the role of pastures in locking up carbon under a range of management practices in central and southern NSW.
NSW Minister for Primary Industries Ian Macdonald said the project is part of a wider $2.5 million climate research program, which will help the NSW Government achieve its aim of cutting greenhouse emissions by 60 per cent by 2050.
A member of the project team, NSW DPI Soil Physics Technical Officer, Albert Oates, said with the wider community becoming increasingly aware of greenhouse gases and potential climate change, it was important the positive role of pastures in sequestering carbon within the soil be better understood and measured.
"Keeping carbon in the soil as organic material reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. And increasing soil organic material improves the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil," he said.
Mr Oates said Australian farmed soils were generally relatively low in soil organic carbon.
"It's not easy to accumulate organic material in a hot, dry climate under continuous cropping.
"The pasture phase provides the opportunity to rebuild organic matter levels in the soil. Soils under permanent pasture may have the greatest potential to lock-up carbon dioxide as soil organic matter."
The three-year project will be led by Soil Physicist Dr Yin Chan with input from Soil Chemist Dr Mark Conyers, Modeller Dr Deli Liu, Research Agronomist Dr Guangdi Li, Soil Scientist Dr Brian Murphy of DNR and Mr Oates.
A number of district agronomists from NSW DPI will collaborate in the project, plus an additional technical officer, Ms Ros Prangnell, has been recently recruited to work on the project.
At this stage the researchers are keen to hear from farmers who may have paddocks with a known history suitable for inclusion in the study.
"Of particular interest would be paired paddocks, which allow comparisons to be made," Mr Oates said.
"Examples include cropped versus old perennial pasture, annual pasture versus perennial and set-stocked versus rotationally grazed.
"If a farmer has a paddock likely to be of very high organic carbon status that would also be of interest."
Dr Chan may be contacted on (02) 4588 2108 and Mr Oates on (02) 6938 1874.

HEALTH: Children receive a head-start for developing healthy eating habits
Meg Hewitt only has to walk up the road to supervise the little lunch and big lunch orders at Crown Street Public School.
This handsome sandstone building high on a hill is one of the oldest schools in NSW. But when Hewitt introduced an organic menu into the school's tuckshop, the 157-year-old institution became one of the state's more forward-thinking schools.
The inner-city school's 250 pupils can choose from a lunch list that looks like any other healthy canteen menu, except that it is all organic. Even the snacks such as potato chips, popcorn, fruit bars and licorice straps are certified organic.
Hewitt's motto is "naughty, nutritious, healthy and delicious".
Renata Atkins, whose six- and nine-year-olds attend the school, wasn't previously a patron of the tuckshop. But since her elder boy, "a fussy eater", discovered organic corn on the cob, it's become his weekly treat. He's also developed a taste for "organic egg, mayo and lettuce" on organic white bread sandwiches.
Crown Street Public put out a tender for a tuckshop operator at the end of the third school term. Hewitt saw the advertisement, won the tender and took over at the beginning of the current term. The principal of Crown Street Public School, Valerie Martin, says, "We like it that she has a local business and she has a focus on healthy and organic food. The parents appreciate it."
Hewitt's cafe, Kawa, is next door to the school and has been sending the organic message to Surry Hills locals since she opened it in 2001. Everything is organic, from the coffee to the cakes. Further down the road, near Oxford Street, Hewitt has a grocery and takeaway store, The Goods Organic, which she set up a year ago.
The funky-looking shop sells certified fruit and vegetables, dairy foods, all manner of shelf items, cleaning products and a small range of prepared foods. These are made downstairs, below the store, in a production kitchen that also turns out meals for the school.

YLS Special Issue: The Balanced Lawyer
The Sustainability Problem: Securing the Future of the Legal Profession By Laura Wagner
W e have all seen the reports: the United States has a justice problem. Some 80% of low- income Americans and almost 50% of middle-income Americans lack access to legal services. The reasons why these indi- viduals do not seek out traditional legal services are plentiful---they cannot afford it, do not know how to find a lawyer, or do not even know they need one—but the end result is the same: huge numbers of legal consumers are trying to solve their legal problems alone or with the help of DIY services. There have been many articles pub- lished over the years discussing why this is a problem for legal consumers. But I want to talk about the other side of these statis- tics: the problems that shrinking demand pose for lawyers. As more and more legal consumers choose to forgo lawyers, more and more lawyers are struggling to make ends meet. The average solo attorney makes significantly less than they did a decade or two ago. But this is not just a problem for solo attorneys. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, between 1976 and 2016 there was a 203% increase in the number of attorneys practicing in house, reflecting large corporations' efforts to avoid outside counsel and do legal work themselves. How Shrinking Demand Affects Lawyers Having recognized that we have a problem, both for legal consumers and for lawyers, what should we do about it? One option is to dig in our heels and try to strengthen the monopoly lawyers have long held on the provision of legal services. Often, when I hear these arguments, they are couched in terms of protecting legal consumers, rather than protecting the monopoly. Lawyers point out that DIY services don't have the specialized knowledge lawyers have, nor can they provide an individualized
to law. Other fields that were once domi- nated by a very specific set of licensed professionals have moved away from their traditional models. More and more people are choosing TurboTax over accountants when doing their taxes. Many individu- als take advantage of nurse practioners and physician's assistants, recognizing that these professionals have the ability to competently provide services that were once reserved for doctors, often at lower rates. Why can't the same be true for law? Third, the monopoly has already failed. Despite any number of attempts to shut it down, LegalZoom is on track to turn 20 next year. The simple truth is that we cannot shut these DIY service provid- ers out of the market. But we can better regulate them. Under the current regula- tory regime, DIY service providers are not subject to the same confidentiality rules as attorneys, cannot invoke the attorney- client privilege, and cannot be subject to an ineffective assistance of counsel complaint. Providing these protections to legal con- sumers is essential, but the answer is not
assessment in the same way that lawyers can. And I admit that these points are well placed, but, for three reasons, I disagree that the solution that follows from these well-placed concerns is to protect the monopoly. First, to conclude that protecting legal consumers requires that lawyers have a monopoly on the provision of legal services screams of paternalism. Of course, we have to ensure that consumers are protected from scammers and notarios, and that they have recourse when taken advantage of by these folks. But we also have to trust consumers to make decisions about their wants and needs. David, who is going through a divorce, might decide that he does not need full scope representation, but just needs someone to help him draft pleadings. The part of our lawyer brains that is trained to think through every contingency and plan for the worst case scenario, would probably question David's decision. But, at the end of the day, it is not our decision to make; it's David's, and we should let him make it. Second, these trends are not unique

Moon will mull Thaad decision
South Korea's Moon Jae-in administration will stick to its vow to internally discuss procedural problems surrounding the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) anti-missile system, and has begun the process of trying to convince the United States that the step is needed, multiple sources from the Blue House said Thursday.
Hong Seok-hyun, Moon's special envoy to the United States, said Wednesday in Washington that he told U.S. National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster about the situation in a 40 minute meeting with him at the White House.
"I told him there was controversy in our country on procedural issues about deploying Thaad," Hong told reporters, "and that the matter needed to be discussed in our parliament." McMaster replied that the United States "acknowledged" the situation in South Korea and "respected" it, according to Hong.
The special envoy said he told McMaster that he looked forward to "solving" the problem.
In what appeared to be a strategic move during election season, President Moon took a rather ambiguous stance on Thaad's deployment here, not quite rejecting the missile shield yet expressing regret over its delivery process.
The installment of Thaad's key component in Seongju County, North Gyeongsang, late last month, carried out by U.S. Forces Korea in the dead of night, "ignored public opinion and due process," Moon said during a TV presidential debate. Moon vowed to review the process in the National Assembly, but has not specified his plan yet.
It's "premature" to say whether South Korea would entirely review the deployment, a senior Blue House official said Thursday. "The public agreed to President Moon's stance that due process is needed, and that's why they elected him, so he's sticking to it."
The Moon administration, said the source, was at the time trying to convince Washington to "gain procedural legitimacy" in internally re-discussing the deployment of the missile shield.
A "long time" was needed for the National Assembly to decide what this due process would look like, the official added.
Another Blue House official said the administration has not decided yet whether Moon will bring up the controversy during his bilateral summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in late June, or have someone do it on his behalf.
Hong, Moon's special envoy to the United States, who met with McMaster on Wednesday, also talked with Trump but said Thaad was not on their agenda.
Regardless of the scheduled summit, the second source said the administration was in "no hurry" to decide how Thaad will be discussed in parliament.
Moon's apparent reluctance might be a result of South Korea's psychological warfare with China, which sees Thaad as a threat to its own military operations.
"China and the U.S. are like opposite sides of a coin," said a third Blue House official. "We're not at the stage yet to say this or that about Thaad."
On the issue of paying for Thaad, Hong said it was not brought up during his meeting with McMaster. Trump said last month he wanted South Korea to pay the $1 billion cost of Thaad's deployment in Seongju County, sparking waves of panic here.
South Korea's Ministry of National Defense scrambled to announce there was no way Seoul was paying, citing a bilateral agreement that the U.S. would cover the bill. President Moon echoed the statement. McMaster later reconfirmed the two countries' original agreement but said the deal was in place "until any renegotiation," hinting that a second deal could be proposed.

walking on water and other mental struggles that we all seem to be engaged in: is it possible or does it look different?
is it possible or does it look different?
for the last few days i have been struggling with what it is to be a person of faith...a christ follower. the diverse encounters that i have had this week just make me wonder if there is any real way of knowing the heart of another or the look of God as she views not only our glorious muddy lives but our hearts as well. what i have been conditioned to believe is a christian life, seems to be lived out by only a few. there are many who i encounter calling themselves christians and yet prolificating the things for which christ called out the pharisees and many who are messy but seek to be loving and do love well in the midst of their messy lives. i believe in a God who loves extravagantly. i am beginning to think that those who want to qualify how God act and who is chosen to love do not really believe in the extravagance of God's love. ALL THINGS WORK FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.

Arizona School Bans Processed Foods
While educators and legislators debate the merits of healthier school lunches, one elementary school in Tucson is banning everything from oreos to yogurt.
Seth Fiegerman
If you are a student at the Children's Success Academy in Tucson, Ariz., the answer is no, you cannot have fries with that. In fact, you can't eat much of anything.
According to The Arizona Republic, the Children's Success Academy currently prohibits students from bringing in any and all "processed foods" for lunch. "Among the 'no' foods: flavored yogurt, canned fruit, American cheese, processed meats, white bread, peanut butter made with sugar, and virtually all packaged crackers except Triscuits, because they are baked with whole grain," the Republic reports.
When they're not eating Triscuits, the typical packed lunch includes fruit (apples, sliced peaches), peanut butter and whole-wheat noodles. Teachers and administrators rationalize the strict policy with claims that a better diet will make kids healthier and power them through the day. But some parents apparently consider these rules to be "drastic," and not surprisingly, students aren't too happy.
From the Republic: "'It has to say 100 percent juice. If it just says natural, that's not allowed,' 8-year-old third-grader Jacob Price says as he bites into an apple. 'I wish we could bring more kinds of food. I like Oreos.'"
The school's decision comes in the middle of a larger movement, heralded by Michelle Obama and others, to make our nation's children healthier by making school cafeteria meals more nutritious. Legislators are currently considering a bill that would boost funding for school lunch programs to facilitate these changes.
Yet, most schools are still moving in baby steps. For example, one school in Philadelphia plans to eliminate pizza from the menu in the next year. So, the question is whether this school in Tucson is making children's lives better or just turning the cafeteria into a strange kind of detention center where kids are overly protected and restricted.
As Frank James wrote on NPR, it may be better to moderate the bad foods kids eat rather than ban them outright. "There's probably something to be said for teaching children how to navigate through a world of bad food choices. For instance, maybe an occasional order of fast-food French fries isn't the problem but a regular diet of them," he wrote.
I would also add that it's important to teach kids to make healthier choices, but plans like this one prevent that possibility all together by banning junk foods (and not so junky foods like flavored yogurt) outright.

Welcome to the 2018 Samhain Tarot Blog Hop wrangled by Aisling. She asked us to explore our beloved dead. Although she gave us three questions (and I did stay on script for one), I'm actually reusing an old post from 2012. It's about my most beloved dead, my mother. Of all those who have preceded me in death, I miss her the most.
I was blessed with a mother who wasn't overly religious although she was a faithful woman. She grew up Catholic, then raised my sister and me in the Episcopal faith. She attended the Methodist church with her second husband while beginning her drift back to her childhood faith of Catholicism. She allowed me, albeit regretfully, to leave the Christian path without making it hard on me. She didn't like it. I know this. I also know that she wanted me to be happy and secure. So she didn't make my religious choice a bone of contention. And she certainly could have. She was a strong woman from some very strong women. In my family, the matriarchs have always stood out.
My Mama had a German-Scot Mama and a Scot-Irish Papa. While her mama, my Grannilu, was not someone I remember as a good cook, Mama said there were good cooks in her family. She passed her love of starchy potatoes and stinky cabbage on to me with this dish. It's one she found later in life. Like her, I'm a collector or recipes. I even cook some of them. ? She made this for me for one of my homecoming meals and I loved it then as I love it now. Even die-hard cabbage haters will fall for this treat!
Because it's something I closely identify with Mama, I knew this one had to be a Queen (the Empress was already taken, sorry Mama!). The Queen of Cups might seem like the perfect choice but my Mama was a sharp-edged Scorpio. She was funny–brilliantly so at times and almost always pointed and sharp insightful humor. I knew her as a widow most of my life (she remarried when I was in my early 20's). Her friends were classy, stylish women (when they weren't being redneck haints.) She was a classy, stylish woman whom I adored her. She wasn't the cookie-baking, soccer mom but she was the take-you-to-the-library, defend-you-tooth-and-nail mom. I'm lucky to have had the time I did with her. So she is the Queen of Swords to me. And it would have tickled her to be the Queen of Bats as she loved nature.
Cook cabbage in water 10 minutes. Drain.
Beat egg, cream, and seasonings together.
Layer cabbage in a casserole pan with egg mixture and remaining ingredients, except bacon. Reserve some of the breadcrumbs and cheese for topping.
Place chopped bacon on top of the casserole, dot with butter and bake in a preheated 350° F. oven for 30 minutes.
Arwen says: Mama didn't do the bacon and I don't either. Just a sodium overload!
I hope you will let me know if you try this. I think I'll make some this week. If you are Catholic, maybe you'd like to light a candle at Mary's altar for my mama. Her name was Marilu. ? I'll light a candle on my own altar. Don't let religion come between you and those you love. It's really not worth it. Instead, share a meal and a blessing that you have friends and family who care about you enough to worry about you.
Here's to all of us and our beloved dead. We are blessed to have the ability to choose who we call family. "You learn to respect everything because you are everything." Thanks to William Least Heat Moon for that. Now go hop to the next blog to see what they have to say about Samhain and our beloved dead.
"Don't let religion come between you" – a thought the world needs to hear more often. Thank you Arwen! It is great to have a family who allow its members to choose what they believe in.

Specials: Dems Reeling
By Jim Ellis
Feb. 3, 2017 — Soon we will be moving fully into special election season and the Democrats have already been dealt some early bad breaks, but not from Republicans.
In the four special elections created because President Trump appointed House members to various Trump administration positions, a quartet of Republican seats will go to election before the 4th of July, at least theoretically giving Democrats some opportunity for gains.
A fifth special, the Democratic CA-34 seat vacated when Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles) resigned to accept Gov. Jerry Brown's (D) appointment as California Attorney General, will be decided on June 6. Democrats should have no trouble advancing two party members to the special general election.

General Election Preview:
Iowa, Montana, North Carolina
June 14, 2015 — In addition to the California races we described in the last Update, key general election campaigns are now underway in Iowa, Montana and North Carolina since their nominees were also chosen on June 7. New Mexico and South Dakota likewise held June 7 primary contests, but all of their incumbents appear safe for re-election.
Senate: Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley (R), who has come under heavy fire for his handling of Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, may face a more competitive 2016 political contest than first believed. Originally elected the same night that Ronald Reagan first won the presidency in 1980, Sen. Grassley has never faced a difficult re-election. This year, however, Democrats believe they have an opportunity to make the race competitive.
Their new nominee is former Lt. Gov. Patty Judge, who served one-term under Gov. Chet Culver (D) but was swept from office with him in 2010. Previously, Judge had been appointed as state Agriculture Secretary by then-Gov. Tom Vilsack (D), who, himself, currently serves as President Obama's top agriculture cabinet member.

Montana Senate Seat Has Become a GOP "Must Win"
Brian Schweitzer
Republicans may have just dodged a major bullet as former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D) announced via telephone interview with local media on Saturday that he is not running for retiring Sen. Max Baucus' (D) seat.
Polling was showing that the two-term ex-governor, after leaving office early this year, was the strongest candidate from either party who was reasonably considered a potential candidate. The latest Public Policy Polling survey (June 21-23; 807 registered Montana voters) did show Schweitzer trailing former Republican Gov. Marc Racicot by one percentage point, but the chances of the former statewide GOP office holder running to succeed Sen. Baucus are highly remote, so this pairing was discounted. Against all other potential or likely candidates, Schweitzer held a clear advantage.
In the interview explaining his decision not to enter the Senate campaign, the former Montana chief executive said he isn't a good fit in a legislative body. "I'm a doer," Schweitzer stated, "I'm used to being in charge of things, getting things done. Unfortunately, the U.S. Senate is a place where things die."
Without Schweitzer running, the Republicans now become early favorites to convert the seat. If that became a reality, considering their favorable position for the Democratic open seats in South Dakota and West Virginia, it would bring them halfway to their goal of converting the six seats they need to capture the Senate majority.
All eyes will now turn to at-large freshman Continue reading >

Montana In Play
A new Public Policy Polling survey previews a tight race evolving in the Montana open-seat race. Those eventually becoming candidates will vie for the right to succeed Sen. Max Baucus (D), who is retiring after what will be 40 years in Congress.
The new data seems to poke holes in the prognostication that former Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D) would run away with the open-seat race should he decide to run. Other potential candidates have been hanging back awaiting his decision, but the former governor humorously quipped last week that it might be some time before he ultimately decides his 2014 plans.
Referring to his occupation as a soil scientist, Schweitzer said to a local news reporter, "…the most important thing a soil scientist has an understanding of is time-glacial time … I look at a mountain and I'm able to visualize how that mountain was created over 6 million years. You're a journalist. You read time as next week, tomorrow. I think of time geologically. When you see me say 'soon' you may be thinking days — but I think of time in millions of years sometimes." Thus, it appears his answer won't be coming any time soon.
According to the PPP poll, Schweitzer would actually trail former Republican Gov. Marc Racicot (46-47 percent) even though the Democrat's favorability index is much higher. Schweitzer scores 54:40 percent favorable to unfavorable, while Racicot only posts 43:37 percent, yet Racicot clings to a small lead.
Considering that Racicot is not likely to run, how does Schweitzer do against a more probable candidate? Paired with at-large Rep. Steve Daines (R), a freshman who ran strong in his first statewide campaign, Continue reading >
