Finding winners in the Thursday, August 18 Rio Olympics multi
August 17, 2016 1:47 pm. by Michael Maguire
AUSTRALIA's medal chances might be drying up now that we've swapped the pool for the track, but there is plenty of betting value to be had nonetheless as we enter the latter stages of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Olympic multi selections for Thursday, August 18
Men's Football Semifinal – Germany to win – $1.83
Women's Hockey Semifinal – New Zealand to win – $2.40
Men's Basketball Quarterfinal – USA with a -22.5 handicap – $1.90
Men's Handball Quarterfinal – Croatia to win – $1.31
Multi payout = $10.93 ($8.33) at Sportsbet.com.au
Men's Football Semifinal – Germany vs. Nigeria – 5am AEST
Germany to win – $1.83
Believe it or not, the Nigerians have more runs on the board than Germany when it comes to Olympic football. They won the gold at Atlanta 1996 and came close to a repeat at Beijing 2008, losing to Argentina in the final. But Europe's only surviving medal chance has fired up after a slow start, blasting into the semis with a resounding 4-0 victory over Group D winners Portugal. The heart might want the Super Eagles to go through, but the head says Germany.
Women's Hockey Semifinal – New Zealand vs. Great Britain – 6am AEST
New Zealand to win – $2.40
Having dumped the Australian ladies out of the tournament in the quarters, it's up to New Zealand to battle it out with the old enemy for a spot in the final. It was the Brits who claimed bragging rights and the bronze medal with a 3-1 victory when these two met at London 2012, but the bookies cannot split them here. While we're backing the Kiwis to edge it in regular time, those who want a safer bet can take either NZ or GB at $1.83 odds to qualify for the gold medal match.
Men's Basketball Quarterfinal – USA vs. Argentina – 7:45am AEST
USA to win with a -22.5 handicap – $1.90
It looks like a straightforward quarterfinal bout for the Dream Team. Although all four qualifiers from Group B tied on eight points apiece, a poor head-to-head record saw Argentina relegated to the bottom rung of the knockout phase. The South Americans were well beaten by Spain in their final group game, losing 73-92, so we expect the United States to turn on the style and cover the 22.5-point head start with no real problems.
Men's Handball Quarterfinal – Croatia vs. Poland – 11:45am AEST
Croatia to win – $1.31
Only four other nations have matched Croatia's record of two gold medals in men's Olympic handball. What's most impressive is that the former Yugoslavians have reached the semifinals at all four Olympiads for which they have qualified. With Russia out of the picture, the stage is set for the Croats to win through to what would be an epic Rio 2016 final with France – the 2008 and 2012 Olympic gold medallists. Poland, as $4.40 outsiders, should pose no threat here.

Kerry and CAFTA
From a June 1 Wall Street Journal story comes these comments, which should give pause to those who think Kerry might actually follow through with his campaign rhetoric on CAFTA, should he get elected:
...many Democrats want much stronger rules that would allow countries to sanction one another if they fall short on mutually agreed-upon labor and environment rules. Mr. Kerry blasted the current agreement, saying in a statement that he would renegotiate it to include "adequate and fully enforceable protections for labor rights and environmental protections."
Legal and trade experts said Mr. Kerry's pledge would open a can of worms. Trade rules enforceable in Central America also would apply in the U.S., laying the legal groundwork for possible international challenges to lax U.S. protections for migrant workers -- including lack of enforcement of minimum-wage laws and lack of standard benefits given to other U.S. workers, such as Social Security -- or the "right to work" laws in more than a dozen states that protect the right of workers not to join a union.
"Kerry will learn to his regret that teeth that bite south can also bite north," said Gary Hufbauer, a trade expert at the Institute for International Economics.
It also would be unprecedented for a newly elected president to turn his back on a major trade deal negotiated by his predecessor, especially when it involves a region as sensitive to the U.S. as Central America. "It would be such a diplomatic slap to those countries that it would be remembered for years to come," Mr. Hufbauer said.
So, Central America is still a "sensitive" region for the U.S.?

Everything About Tarot
A new de-enabling thread
sravana said:
Well, it's unavailable, so there.
Nice, but nothing that I'd spend big bux on.
It's not even nice. It's photocopies of Klee pictures cut out, poorly aligned with the backs, and sandwiched between two flimsy pieces of sticky plastic film with a big, unevenly-trimmed border. I couldn't wait to get rid of it.
debra's right. But I kept mine - I like it anyway....
.traveller. said:
The art is kind of uneven, and I bet it won't be nearly as vibrant in person. The execution is downright clumsy on some of the cards.
ER - (this was about Isabel's...) I feel a need to point out here that Isabel has Parkinsons, so..... I would be clumsier than that anyway as I can't draw, and I don't even have anything wrong with me (well, I'm deaf, but....)
I just thought that while OF COURSE no one should buy anything, I should set the record straight in case Isabel sees this and is hurt.....
.traveller.
gregory said:
.traveller. is suitably chastised and will leave the thread for good this time.
No no - I just thought that people might not know, and I happened to be told when I bought her tarot...... (oops.... )
De-enabling is good stuff and we need more like you to do it all ! Come back..... (the cry echoes through the purple corridors.....)
SolSionnach
Anton Tikimirov said:
You make a very good point, I have failed in my first de-enabling. I suppose this means I will never be invited to a Tarot intervention?
Hi Anton!
I wouldn't say that you've failed, and it does take some time to get the hang of it. Welcome to the de-enabling thread (I don't think I've seen you here before) - we play rough in this thread, in case you haven't noticed!
Debra said:
Y.i.k.e.s. Heck, *I* can do better than that! (if I had the time and/or the inclination...)
Oh, please don't leave, .traveller.! I had no idea about that, either.
She has a *tarot*, too? Where can I see the cards? I'm very curious... as though you hadn't noticed.
Er - I think you better have PM.....
It's cheap, and usually up on e-bay - and it is on the same site as the lenormand ones.
baba-prague
Oh! Well, thanks for that, because I love Klee and had seen that deck and wondered if I should get it. Obviously not. Good job Debra - two de-enabled for the price of one!
Okay, I'm back but not to de-enable, but to be de-enabled.
I want the Vargo Gothic. Why? I don't know. Never wanted it before, but now I have a wild, crazy fascination for it. I've been fighting this feeling for over a week now and I am about to crack.
I don't care that it's not really tarot, I usually read oracles anyway.
Le Fanu
Are you thirteen years old with a permanent pout, white foundation, "weirdly" wearing black and out to shock your parents?
If not, then there´s no point you buying it...
O and anyone will tell you that it isn´t actually very readable ... Great for those who want to look "spooky" in front of their peers...
Just go and sit under a yew tree in the cemetery and read Walpole's The Castle of Otranto. Now that´s real gothic.
cardlady22
It's all Neptune!! (astrology in the playing cards- 52 day period) Washes over you sudden; drives you with an insatiable gale-force wind; then drops you on your butt after your birthday comes around again.
I mean, I'm all for walking the Nightside every now and again, but did you see these cards?
5 of Swords: I used to be afraid of evil horror-movie clowns, but this jester with the king's head on his pike is creepy beyond anything Stephen King's ever did!
Knight of Cups: That gargoyle in the wall dripping blood out of his mouth down to the guy's hand, but he's so focused on your sweet little neck that he doesn't notice!
VI Lovers is the ultimate cliche. *yawn*
Knight of Wands looks like he's trolling for a gig on a beefcake calendar. Th0se vamp girls will be quite happy they don't have to get his armour off first . . . kind of like a reverse of The Sun from this deck.

Home ● Arabic Music and the Bass ● Double Bass and Orchestra – the Middle Eastern Version
Double Bass and Orchestra – the Middle Eastern Version
The Israeli Andalusian orchestras are an absolutely fascinating phenomenon. There are two big orchestras with a large subscription audiences and a few smaller ones.
These orchestras mostly preforms North African music, and their main audience is the large community of Jews who immigrated to Israel during the 50's-60's from the North African Arab countries like Morocco, Algiers and Tunisia.
I had the honor to be featured as a soloist in an eight-concert series with Tom Cohen's "Mediterranee" Orchestra last month, probably the first Arabic music orchestra to feature the double bass as a soloist (If you have my CD you know this one, but that was a little smaller ensemble).
The orchestra members divide into two groups of players: the "Classicals" – classically trained musicians who's first encounter with this music was in their work with this orchestra, and the "Authentics" – 'Eastern' musicians who have been raised on this music and who's first encounter with written music or a conductor was in their work with this orchestra.
Conductor Tom Cohen and I
In both of the big orchestras I have mentioned there are about half "classicals" and half "Authentics". The way those two groups interact musically depends so much on the work of the conductor and I think I know about at least two serious dissertations about this exact subject being written as we speak.
It is absolutely enlightening to see what conductor Tom Cohen is doing with his orchestra. Tom manages to combine East and West in the most natural, fresh way, and always finds new things to bring to his audience and ways to bring out the best in his musicians (The best example would be Tom's arrangement of a famous Moroccan folk song combined with a famous flamenco song here).
The video on top is Tom and the orchestra in my arrangement of a cha'abi (the urban folkloric morrocan style) song named "Adibat Kalbi".


Wanderluxe is an Australian luxury sleepwear brand. Aimed at women, the pyjama sets come in simple shapes, classic stripes and fresh colours with a heavy emphasis on comfort and quality fabrics. Founder, Sherri Kiernikowski, grew up immersed in her family's suiting business and developed a passion for luxury fabrics and tailoring. 'It was this experience and the fact I couldn't find any high-quality sleepwear which was made from luxurious fabrics and made to last that inspired me to design a range of feminine sleepwear, with a masculine edge'. We have a classic take on fashion, our designs are inspired by Savile Row tailoring and reinterpreted for the female form, creating the ultimate "his shirt for her" in the process, bridging the gap between style and comfort. Sherri's commitment to quality prompted her to develop a line of luxury fabrics exclusive to Wanderluxe. 'We care deeply about the feeling of the textiles against your skin, the durability and the detail in the fabric, which makes all the difference'. Expressing a timeless sense of elegance and sophistication, Wanderluxe is designed to make you feel good in your precious downtime and is the perfect compliment to any modern woman's wardrobe.


In the world of Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML), it all comes down to perspective. For many financial institutions, the perspective sometimes becomes locked down tight. Day in and day out, the systems look at the same things over and over again. In a sense, it's like they're looking at one side of the moon, ignoring what's on the other side because it is harder to see.
To support this analogy, permit me a brief detour to one of my favorite subjects, the Moon. It is the only heavenly body that shows its features to the naked eye. Imagine, if you were given a telescope and the job to focus solely on the Moon. Undoubtedly you would eventually know every "inch" of it quite well. But would that really tell you what the entire moon looked like? Of course, the answer is a definite no.
To us earthlings, the Moon appears not to rotate. We see basically the same side of the Moon each time we gaze upon it. That's because its rotation is synchronized with the Earth. As such, it always faces Earth.
The familiar side of the Moon is called the near side. It has dark and light patches with parts that look like seas. The dark side of the Moon, as many of us call it (courtesy of Pink Floyd), is not actually called that by scientists. It isn't any darker than say India is compared to the United States. The moon's rotation means that it does receive light. But what does it look like?
Isn't it impressive how different the far side is compared to the near side? Much of the difference is because the crust is thicker on the far side. The near side became "locked" to the Earth and remained geologically active longer. As such, lava flows filled in craters created by meteors and the like, forming large, dark basaltic plains called maria.
I suspect that seeing few of the large and dark maria must have puzzled scientists mightily when they first saw it. However, having that added perspective naturally gave opportunities to better understand the full nature of the Moon.
In the world of BSA/AML, institutions face a daunting challenge. They are tasked with identifying patterns associated with the placement, layering, and integration of funds from illegal activity to create the appearance of legitimacy. Identifying such patterns is fundamental to AML, but often is weakened by a lack of meaningful perspective. Trying to do this without an AML system is akin to trying to understand the Moon through the naked eye. You might acquire some significant understanding, but it would still be limited.
AML systems were created to help identify placement, layering and integration patterns. They're like telescopes, in that they provide a far more powerful capacity to understand the Moon. While this enhanced perspective is valuable, it does not provide the full picture necessary to understand the entirety of the situation.
2018 will usher in a new phase of BSA/AML with the implementation of beneficial ownership requirements. As I've worked with financial institutions seeking to implement sound controls and systems to handle beneficial ownership requirements, I have come to view beneficial ownership as a sort of Soviet spacecraft Luna 3. It will give financial institutions a new perspective, unlike anything they've seen for most of their history.
Of course, the new rule focuses on customer due diligence related to verifying a legal entity customer's beneficial ownership at the time a new account is opened. That is a good start. However, to complete that far side orbit requires the principle of "event-driven" triggers, such as when the credit department obtains new financials or obtains a tax return per standard ongoing monitoring.
A financial institution subject to beneficial ownership requirements must conduct ongoing monitoring to identify and report suspicious transactions and to update its customer information. Event-driven monitoring will result in triggers that will require updating that information.
There is another element where the near-side/far-side of the Moon analogy can be applied here. The beneficial ownership rule is not limited merely to deposit relationships from checking, savings and certificates; it also includes loans.
Historically, most financial institutions have functioned as isolated departments, with the two primary departments being deposit and lending. Like a balance sheet, these sides remained as distinct from each as the near and dark side of the Moon.
Beneficial ownership changes that equation. While there are few event-driven aspects with deposit relationships that might impact monitoring, there are many in the world of lending, especially in the world of commercial lending, such as the annual conducted relationship review or receipt of standard documentation required per a loan's or line of credit's covenants. Capturing the information especially ownership information from such events will clearly usher in a new world of monitoring.
In a sense, beneficial ownership is merely another mile marker for where BSA/AML monitoring is being directed. It was launched with USA PATRIOT Act back in 2001, which started the drive to understand the connection between customers and their behavior. But, to merely focus on beneficial ownership's technical requirements is to miss a valuable opportunity to get the full picture.
Even the most powerful AML systems typically provide powerful – but often one-sided – visuals. To empower them to peer into the dark side, they must be fed enhanced information. Institutions that have implemented, either by force or by internal decision, customer due diligence — including enhanced due diligence — are frequently armed with powerful data. The trick is t make sure those data are fed into the AML system. The more effective an organization is in integrating these elements, the greater its perspective will be.
Moreover, most AML systems continue to progress in their monitoring of quantitative aspects against qualitative aspects. Yet often these systems neglect perhaps the greatest arsenal of data: information obtained from the institution's lending side. This is where beneficial ownership will give a full view of the moon.
Like a full moon that wanes toward a new moon, 2017 will inevitably give way to May 11, 2018, and beneficial ownership requirements. Institutions would be well advised to launch their efforts towards system integration and monitoring to ensure compliance with the technical aspects of the regulation. But, more importantly, 2017 provides a true opportunity to move forward towards the sometimes subjective – yet certainly more valuable aspects – of beneficial ownership. This new phase can usher in an era of the comprehensive understanding needed to more fully identify suspicious patterns associated with layering, placement, and integration.

Amid the deluge of stories over the past two years recounting G20 police abuses, the efforts of good officers — those who kept a moral compass firmly pointed under trying circumstances — have largely gone unheralded.
The OIPRD has identified at least one: Staff Sgt. Bradley Thompson of the Ontario Provincial Police.
The 26-year veteran said he was led to believe there would be no kettling at the G20.
But when Thompson — a unit commander during the summit — and his 40-officer team were called to Spadina Ave. and Queen St. W. that notorious Sunday in June 2010, they found hundreds of people boxed inside police lines.
The report, along with others released by the police complaint's watchdog last week, offers, for the first time, on-the-ground accounts from frontline officers. The arm's-length agency, unlike others probing the G20, has the power to compel officers to speak.
Because there are ongoing hearings under the Police Services Act, OPP spokeswoman Cathy Bell said Tuesday that Thompson was not able to comment.
According to the report, Thompson spoke with York Regional Police Insp. Norm Miles, the officer in command of Thompson's team, about removing people in medical distress. Thompson stated he was told any removal was to appear as though it were an arrest.
Miles could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Thompson walked with the girls to the side of a building half a block away, and then instructed Toronto Police officers nearby to ensure they got home safely.
He did the same for a middle-aged couple he "truly" believed was on the verge of medical distress.
Thompson told the OIPRD he witnessed a York Region police sergeant also releasing people, and asked if he had the authority to do so.
The sergeant told him he didn't know, but said something to the effect that the people he removed "didn't belong there," Thompson said.
He also said he did not hear any announcements by the police advising the crowd what was happening.
"(Thompson) said it would stand to reason that if you wanted a group of people to cause the least amount of problems that you would inform them about what is going on," says the report.

The song that's on its way to climb back up to the music charts
is Pentagon's Spring Snow.
Since it's a side-track, it usually has 600 to 800 listeners on a daily basis.
After they performed it on a music show, the song began to consistently become the most searched song in music charts. After performing it for four times in total, the side-track now has 5x times more than their original daily listeners.
Users from other online communities have also been talking about how great the song is.
This song is almost like the second 'Shine'. The stage and outfits are very bright and cheerful, the song is very exciting (It's just as great as the songs in the opening of animes), and also the playful gestures that the members add in the middle of the performance. It's the type of performance that makes people who watch them feel happy.
Please check out Spring Snow before spring passes by...
I seriously hope Cube would extend the period for this promotion...
Please, Cube. I hope you make good use of this chance...

2. [+32][-1] The song is very great, but what makes it even better is how the boys seem to enjoy their performance a lot on stage...
3. [+22][-1] Spring Snow was written as they reminiscence all the great memories they had during Shine's promotions. Every time I think about that, I somehow feel both emotional and happy as I watch their performance... Our Pentagon has worked so hard to become who they are right now. I seriously hope they would hit so much bigger in the future...
4. [+19][-0] This song has been receiving great responses even from other online communities. They're a boy group, and not to mention that this song is their side-track, not their title-track. And yet the public really loves it, it's a very rare case in the industry...
5. [+18][-1] I love this song so muchㅠㅠ I love Sha La La...? as well, but I really enjoy this type of cheerful and bright stage, which suits them really well!! The stage also often reminds me of Shine! Pentagon has this ability to make the audience feel happy by seeing them enjoying their stageㅠㅠㅠ

POLING: Warning, this column might make you sick
This column may not be easy to digest. You will want to push your breakfast aside or wait until your food settles before reading any further.
Or you may not want to read it at all.
You have been warned.
This will get gross but it will not be as gross as watching an increasing number of TV shows, streaming series and movies.
There's no way of getting around it. The subject is blunt and abrupt.
Vomit. Puke. Up-chuck. Regurgitation. Throwing up. Wretching. Spew. Etc.
Specifically, the sudden increase of characters throwing up as part of the entertainment industry.
In the past, suddenly sick characters would grab their mouths with that shocked, ill, wide-eyed look and run off screen to be sick.
Or the suddenly ill character would turn from the camera and viewers would see the bent ratcheting of shoulders and back, hear the familiar throat sounds followed by a splat.
Or the character was unseen off camera but viewers were treated to the familiar sounds being offered to the porcelain gods.
Hey, you were warned at the start of this column. It will be gross.
But at least I provided a warning.
In the past several months, I've lost track of how many characters have been shown visibly being ill on the screen.
No warning. Pow.
There it is.
Full frontal illness.
Up close and personal.
Over and over and over again. All sorts of shows. All sorts of movies. All sorts of graphic closeups and variations of the, um, well, form.
Don't they know I'm eating BBQ Pringles, or popcorn, or Reese's Pieces, or pie, or pizza, or any number of things I eat while watching a movie or TV?
Mmmm, good show. Mmmm, good food. … Yuck, that character just got sick and I'm chewing a pineapple pizza.
Told you this would be gross.
Vomit scenes have been a part of movies for decades: "The Exorcist," it's spooky and gross. Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life," it's funny and gross.
But lately, it seems, there's hardly a safe place to put your shoes, your eyes or your pizza rolls, because every show seems to make a point of making one character sick.
It seems special effects teams have perfected the craft of on-camera illness and directors are trying to outdo one another.
If that's the case, they are doing a great job. If such a thing can be described as a great job.
With awards season back in full swing, perhaps it's time to create awards for these endeavors.
I can see Tom Hanks now, envelope in hand, looking a little green around the gills after having watched the nominee film reels, announcing, "… And now the Oscar for achievement in the Best Vomit in a Major Motion Picture goes to …"
Then Tom Hanks would get sick on live TV, just as I put a pizza roll in my mouth.

The French director Alain Corneau made 16 films in a variety of genres, from Série Noire, the bleak, sordid 1979 drama that featured a compelling performance by Patrick Dewaere as a door to door salesman looking for redemption in the wrong places, to Crime D'Amour [Love Crime], the psychological thriller starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier, which opened in French cinemas to critical acclaim a fortnight before his death from lung cancer. "He was a cinema great," Scott Thomas said, "an absolutely adorable, funny and sharp-witted man." (Independent UK)

Antique Wall Maps/
1788 Schraembl / Pownall Map of North America & the West Indies
NorthAmerica2-schraembl-1788
General Karte von Nord America samt den Westindischen Inseln Verfasst von Herrn Pownall
1788 (dated) 39 x 45.25 in (99.06 x 114.935 cm)
A rare and extraordinary post-colonial wall map of North America by Vienna map publisher Franz Anton Schraembal. Printed in 1788 for inclusion in Schraembal's Allgemeiner Grosser Atlas, this is one of the first maps issued to depict North America following the American Revolutionary War. While this map has been updated to reflect the surveys prepared under Massachusetts governor Thomas Pownall, it is heavily based upon the important 1783 map of North America issued by Sayer and Bennet. The whole is beautifully rendered with wonderful detail regarding the early states, roads, canals, the Great Lakes, American Indian Nations, and explorer's observations. Vermont is not present on the map. Most of the southern states are without western boundaries, but seem to extend only to the Appellation Mountain range. In the upper left quadrant there is an inset of the Baffin and Hudson Bay region including some references to the explorations of Admiral De Fonte in search of a Northwest Passage, as well as to the indigenous Eskimo tribes. Another inset in the lower left quadrant shows the parts of California which Father Franz Kino walked between 1698 and 1701. Kino headed the historic expedition which proved California to be attached to the North American mainland and ultimately defeated the 'California as an Island' theory. Upper right quadrant features an elaborate title cartouche depicting a stylized American Indian woman and cherubs wrestling fish from the sea. A second cartouche in the lower right quadrant features a key to the map. A altogether magnificent map offering both stunning beauty and historic value.
Franz Anton Schraembl (1751 - 1803) was a Vienna based cartographer working in the later part of the 18th century. Schraembl was burnin Vienna and founded his firm in 1787, partnering with fellow Austrian Franz Johann Joseph von Reilly (1766 - 1820), and began his great work, the Allgemeiner Grosser Atlas in the same year. This ambitious large format atlas was to be based upon only the most up-to-date cartographic information available and is based upo the work of cartographers like D'Anville and explorers such as Cook, Roberts, and others. The atlas was finally finished in 1800 but becoming the first Austrian world atlas. The work unfortunately enjoyed only relatively minimal circulation, possibly due to its high cost. The low sales, unfortunately, drove Schraembl into insolvency. His business eventually recovered somewhat with the publication of a diverse array of materials ranging from literature to art books. When Franz Anton died in 1803, the firm was taken over by his widow Johanna and her brother, the engraver Karl Robert Schindelmayer. From 1825 the firm was taken over by his son, Eduard Schraembl.

Schraembal, F. A., Allgemeiner Grosser Atlas, 1788 edition.
Very good condition. This map has a been professionally cleaned, flattened and backed with linen for stability. Four pieces joined. Minor discoloration on original folds, especially through Mexico in the lower left quadrant. Original hand color. Margnins added all around. Else clean.

AWSM chair Kelly Burke stepping down from board
Kennedi Landry, 2020 AWSM Scholar
Kelly Burke has been an active member of the Association for Women in Sports Media board since 2013, serving in a variety of roles.
After seven years of hard work and dedication to the organization, Burke is stepping down from her position as chair of the board to get some "fresh blood" into the management of AWSM. She said after so many years, it was the right time to move on and let others help lead the group.
"For me, I think I just have some other opportunities [and] I really want to concentrate on my career right now, too," Burke said. "Since I travel a lot too, I want to spend a little more time being present at home with my husband and our dog and seeing my family."
Burke has spent all of the coronavirus pandemic quarantined at home in Florida with her husband, Chris, and 12-year-old chocolate lab, Bella.
That's been the silver lining of being without work during the past four months since the pandemic has changed the sports world. For Burke, a freelance sideline reporter, play-by-play broadcaster and color analyst, quarantine has altered her career trajectory.
"I was actually having the best year of my career going into this pandemic," Burke said. "I had just done a national game for men's basketball, I just had a ton of momentum going and so I thought 2020 was going to be the best year of my career."
Since most of her work is in live sports, her entire spring work schedule was wiped out when the NCAA canceled its seasons. But she's used that time to launch other projects.
She started a podcast focusing on women in sports media — which she calls a "passion project" — on July 15. Her mentor Ann Liguori, a sports talk show host and pioneer for women's in the sports media industry, was her first guest.
"It's something I've wanted to do for a while and I obviously have the time now and I've been able to get it to come together and navigate it," Burke said.
While Burke cherished her time on the board, she admits she is excited about getting that sliver of time back to devote to her family and career. She plans to launch another side business in August and is lining up sideline and booth assignments she'll resume as soon as it is safely possible.
"I think the thing I'm most looking forward to is just the possibility of when we can all go back to work," Burke said. "I just want to go back to work in whatever form it's in, even if it's us starting the season and there's an interruption. I will take the game in any way at this point. I miss it so much."
It's easy for Burke to let go when she knows the board will be in good hands after her departure.
As she reflects on her roles on the AWSM board — including president, various vice president positions and most recently as chair of the board — there are a few things she is most proud of.
At the 2019 AWSM Convention in Tampa, the board announced a diversity initiative for the organization. Though she's leaving the board, Burke plans to remain active helping lead the project.
"That is probably going to be the most important thing that I've done," Burke said. "That's a team effort, too. It's not just me, it's the entire board and really it's going to be the entire organization."
Her involvement with the AWSM Champions program was a special opportunity for her to reconnect with her own mentor in Liguori while filling a need for "mid-career mentorship" in the sports industry.
Most of all, she is proud of simply being a part of the organization since she became a member in 2011.
"It's been a real privilege to get to know and work alongside so many of the women in the organization and on the board, a lot of whom have become personal friends," Burke said.
"Just the way that we all support each other and that we're trying to continue to grow opportunities for all women in sports no matter what your background is. We're just trying to continue to see progress and change and make sure that happens."

Sudan's Shifting Calculus of Power
President Omar al Bashir's declaration of a year-long state of emergency in Sudan indicates that he has opted, for now, to take the route of greater repression to quell the popular protests that have been unfolding across the country since December 2018. The initial response from Sudanese citizens, however, has been even more protests. These protests are being led by Sudan's professional associations and large youth population who are chafing for more economic opportunity and political freedoms after 30 years under Bashir's rule. The emergency declaration was accompanied by the dissolving of state governments and the appointment of military or intelligence officers as new governors in the country's 18 states. Africa Center for Strategic Studies
Sudan Parliament Reduces State of Emergency to 6 Months
Sudan's parliament has approved a six-month countrywide state of emergency, Parliament Speaker Ibrahim Ahmed Omer announced Monday. The move comes after President Omar al-Bashir declared a one-year state of emergency in February. Along with the state of emergency, al-Bashir had also announced the establishment of "emergency courts" tasked with prosecuting anti-regime demonstrators, smugglers and foreign currency speculators. According to Sudan's Democratic Lawyers Alliance, an estimated 870 protesters have been hauled before the newly-established courts in the past two weeks alone. Addressing lawmakers at Monday's assembly session, Justice Minister Mohamed Ahmed Salim claimed the new courts were not specifically targeting protesters, whose right to due legal process, he said, was not being violated.

Algeria's President Abandons Bid for 5th Term amid Protests
Algeria's president of two decades abandoned his bid for a fifth term Monday following unprecedented protests over his fitness for office, but his simultaneous postponement of an election set for next month had critics worried he intends to hold on to power. President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who has rarely been seen in public since he had a stroke in 2013 and just returned from two weeks in a Geneva hospital, promised to establish a panel to plan a rescheduled vote and to put an interim government in place. In a letter to the nation released by state news agency APS on Monday, Bouteflika, 82, stressed the importance of including Algeria's disillusioned youth in the reform process and putting the country "in the hands of new generations." But for many of the protesters – students, lawyers and even judges among them – the most important sentence in the president's letter read, "There will be no fifth term." AP
Algerians Keep up Pressure after President's Half-Concession
Algerian students are protesting President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's decision to delay presidential elections indefinitely. Bouteflika's announcement Monday to withdrew his candidacy for a fifth term cheered his opponents. But on Tuesday, there was more skepticism over his decision to delay an April 18 election without setting a new date, which opponents say could leave him in power indefinitely Protesters question Bouteflika's fitness for office after a 2013 stroke that has left him largely hidden from public view. They're also angry at the gas-rich country's power structure seen as secretive and corrupt. Many protesters are now demanding that Bouteflika step down April 18 instead of waiting for a new vote. Student protests started Tuesday in Algiers and are planned in other cities, and nationwide protests are expected Friday. AP
Libyan Army Chief Strengthens Hand by Taking More Territory
A major military push south by the Libyan strongman Marshal Khalifa Haftar has left him in the ascendant, and possibly able with international backing to dictate the terms of a future Libyan political settlement, including presidential and parliamentary elections. Haftar, the head of the Libyan national army, has been strengthened by a successful offensive into the often lawless south-west, and some observers say he is in a better position to dictate terms to his rival Fayez al-Sarraj, the head of the UN-recognised government of national accord in Tripoli. The push into the Fezzan region has left Haftar in control of two-thirds of the country, most border crossings and many key oil installations, including the large oil fields in the Murzuk basin.

Dozens of Militants Killed in Shootouts in Egypt's Sinai
Egyptian security forces have killed 46 "very dangerous" Islamist militants in shootouts in northern Sinai, the military said on Monday. The armed forces say several hundred militants have been killed since it launched a major campaign in February 2018 aimed at vanquishing Islamic State or related jihadist groups in Sinai. "Over the last period" the campaign had resulted in "the elimination of 46 very dangerous members of terrorist elements during exchanges of fire in the north and central Sinai…," the armed forces said in a video recording, without specifying dates or locations of the security operations. About 100 suspects had been arrested, more than 200 explosive devices found and over 30 cars and scooters confiscated or destroyed, it said. The statement did not give the identity of suspects or their affiliation. Reuters
Violence Sparks First Major Humanitarian Crisis in Burkina Faso
The Burkinabe village of Bawenne was used to contending with nature, but not the impacts of violence, until hundreds of people started showing up late last year, fleeing suspected Islamist attacks. The displaced had walked for days — some with babies on their backs — to arrive at the village of 2,000 people that was already struggling to survive in northern Burkina Faso's barren scrubland. By March 1, the arrivals numbered 1,200. "This situation can't last," said Bawenne Mayor Ousmane Zango, standing amid crowds of people gathered in the sun outside the village's small round brick huts. "We won't be able to feed them for even a month," he told Reuters. This kind of crisis is new for the entire country, a landlocked West African nation that was largely peaceful until, three years ago, a local Islamist group started to gain a hold. Reuters
More Seats than Candidates as Madagascar Prepares for Elections
Madagascar may not have enough candidates to compete in legislative elections scheduled for May 27. A day before registration closes, only 88 candidates have registered to take part in the vote for the Indian Ocean island nation's 151-seat parliament. The previous ballot in 2013 attracted 2,069 candidates. The low turnout comes two months after the government increased the registration deposit that candidates must pay the electoral authority to 5 million ariary ($1,400) from 400,000 ariary. Of the total number that registered, 62 are independent candidates and 26 represent political parties, Fano Rakotondrazaka, a spokesman for the Independent National Electoral Commission, told reporters Monday in the capital, Antanarivo. Aspiring lawmakers have until 5 p.m on Tuesday to register their candidacy and the commission has no plans to extend the deadline, he said. Bloomberg
Environment Summit in Nairobi Opens with Somber Tone
The fourth UN Environment Assembly (UNEA) kicked off Monday in Kenya with a somber tone in the wake of yesterday's Ethiopian Airlines crash. World leaders, scientists and environmentalists gathered in Nairobi at the United Nations Environment Headquarters started the day by observing several minutes of silence for the 157 people on board the plane who died Sunday, among them 22 UN delegates who were heading to the conference. "I sincerely thank the Eastern European Group for nominating me as president and trusting and supporting me throughout the presidency. I would like to express my condolences to those who have lost loved ones in the crash," said Siim Kiisler, UNEA president and Estonia's environment minister, speaking during the opening plenary. Those sentiments were echoed by many other speakers, including Kenya's Environment Minister Keriako Tobiko and Joyce Msuya, acting executive director of the UN Environment Program. Among the 157 victims were UN staff, interpreters and delegates who had boarded the flight headed for Nairobi. Anadolu Agency
Thousands of People Protest in Benin to Support Opposition
Thousands of people in Benin joined a march on Monday to protest the exclusion of five main opposition parties from legislative elections next month by the West African nation's electoral commission. The decision of the electoral body to only allow two parties loyal to President Patrice Talon to participate in the vote has been widely condemned by civil-society groups, who say Talon's administration is increasingly repressive, especially toward the media and political opponents. The protest in the commercial capital, Cotonou, was organized by the opposition but publicly supported by senior political figures such as former President Nicephore Soglo and the vice president of the National Assembly, Eric Houndete. Bloomberg
Top US Diplomat Suggests Taking Cameroon to Global Forum
The top United States diplomat to Africa says perhaps it's time to take the deadly separatist crisis in Cameroon to an "international forum." An exasperated Tibor Nagy told reporters on Tuesday that "my heart breaks for Cameroon … I just don't understand why this crisis goes on and on and on." Some half a million people have been displaced as Cameroon's government battles an Anglophone separatist movement in the largely French-speaking country. Weary residents in the middle have pleaded for peace. Nagy, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for Africa, called for "open, unlimited national dialogue." Cameroon's government in a strongly worded statement last week criticized Nagy's earlier comments on the Anglophone crisis, accusing him of misunderstanding the situation and interfering in the West African country's internal affairs.

UN: December Massacre in Congo Left 535 People Dead
Intercommunal violence that left at 535 people dead in western Congo may amount to crimes against humanity, according to a report by United Nations investigators released on Tuesday that cited witnesses saying village chiefs helped plan the violence. The massacre took place over three days in December, not long before the country's long-delayed presidential election. Violence erupted in Yumbi between the Banunu and Batende communities after a dispute over a burial for a Banunu customary chief. The attacks "followed strikingly similar patterns and were characterized by extreme violence and speed, leaving little time for people to escape," the U.N. said. Banunu villagers were targeted with weapons including firearms and gasoline, the investigation found. AP
DRC's Bemba Seeks $77M in Compensation from ICC
Jean-Pierre Bemba, a former vice president and rebel leader in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is seeking millions of dollars in compensation from the International Criminal Court (ICC), his lawyers have announced. The 55-year-old's legal team last week filed an application asking judges at the The Hague-based court to award him a total of nearly 69 million euros ($77m) for what they called a miscarriage of justice over his former conviction for war crimes, his lawyers said in a statement on Monday. The sum includes damages for the decade Bemba spent in prison between 2008-2018 for alleged murders and rapes committed by fighters belonging to his Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC) rebel group in the Central African Republic (CAR) during 2002-2003.

Rwanda Opposition Calls for Justice following Death of Party's Spokesperson
Rwandan opposition politician Victoire Ingabire has called for justice following the death of her party's spokesperson Anselme Mutuyimana on Sunday. "We need justice," Ingabire said. She said witnesses had described men in police uniforms in a red car detaining Mutuyimana in the western Mahoko area. It was not immediately clear how 30-year-old Mutuyimana had died. Rwandan authorities said they were investigating the death. "The investigation has started. No suspects so far," said the spokesman for the Rwanda Investigation Bureau, Modeste Mbabazi. Mutuyimana's elder brother Augustin Tubanambazi told Reuters that the body had no visible wounds, but had blood in its mouth. Twenty-five years after a genocide that killed an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, Rwandan President Paul Kagame has won international praise for presiding over a peaceful and rapid economic recovery.

South Africa's Land-Expropriation Debate: The State of Play
South Africas ruling party plans to change the nations constitution to make it easier to seize land without paying for it. Lawmakers have also introduced separate draft legislation that outlines the circumstances under which the state can do this.The African National Congress says amendments are needed to address racially skewed ownership patterns dating back to colonialism and white-minority rule, a view shared by the Economic Freedom Fighters, the second-largest opposition party. Farmers groups and some other opposition parties say the changes will undermine property rights and deter investment, and that they will contest any changes in court. Lawmakers in both chambers of parliament — the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces — in December approved a committee report that recommends the amendment to section 25 of the constitution, which protects property rights.

As China Prevails, France's Macron Shuffles His Cards in Djibouti
French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday sought to reassert the importance of France in its former colony Djibouti with Paris increasingly fearing China's muscular role in Africa as it expands economic and military influence across the continent. Djibouti, strategically located at the southern entrance to the Red Sea on the route to the Suez Canal, hosts France's largest naval base on the continent and is home to some 1,400 personnel used to train African troops as well as to monitor the Horn of Africa and Yemen. While it was seen as a vital outpost in the past, French administrations have disregarded it in recent years with Macron only the second French leader to visit the East African country in the last 20 years. "France considered Djibouti for too long to be a territory that was won," said a senior French diplomat based in the region. "But now the competition from China is fierce." Those comments echoed President Ismail Omar Guelleh's public criticism in 2015 accusing France – from which it gained independence in 1977 – of abandoning Djibouti and investing very little. VOA
Tanzania Relaxes Protectionist Regulations in Mining Sector
Tanzania has relaxed the mining sector regulations that require local companies to own controlling stake in multinationals. Once seen as too ambitious, the Mining Sector Regulations 2018 required Tanzanian companies to have at least 51 per cent stake in mining firms while multinationals were to partner with their locally owned institutions. The regulations and the Mining Act amendments, which were part of mineral sector reforms, were meant to give the government a bigger share of the mining sector pie. Additionally, they sought to boost the participation of Tanzanian nationals and firms in multinationals' operations. But a year later, further amendments have seen procedural ownership percentage reduced to 20 per cent. Analysts say that Tanzania, though endowed with abundant minerals, still feels little impact on its revenue collection or even on lives of most Tanzanians over the years. The East African

Functions with data return in Kotlin Language. We saw that a function is defined by a name and that it can receive data by means of its parameters.
Make a function that we send as a parameter the value of the side of a square and return its surface.
We define a local variable called sup where we store the product of the side parameter by itself.
It should be noted that local variables (in this case sup) can only be queried within the function where they are defined, they are not accessed in the main function or within another function.
That is, the value returned by the returnSurface function is stored in the surface variable.
The returned data (in our case the surface of the square) is not stored.
The returnSurface function returns an integer and passes it to the println function to display it.
Make a function that we send as two integer parameters and return the major one.
When a function finds the word return does not continue executing the rest of the function but it leaves to the line of the program from where we call to that function.
Make a function that we send as a parameter a String and return the number of characters it has. In the main function ask to load two names by keyboard and call the function twice. Print in the main of the two words has more characters.
val name1 = readLine () !!
val name2 = readLine () !!
Develop a function that receives three integers and returns the average value of them.
Construct a function that returns the perimeter of a square passing the value of the side as parameters.
In the main function of the program load the sides of two rectangles and then show which of the two has a larger surface.


AUSTIN – Hurricane Harvey impacted more square miles of Texas than the combined land mass of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. And the massive cleanup continues across the region, from our smallest communities to the larger cities where local leaders are working tirelessly for their citizens. The emergency state funding allocation approved this week will help alleviate some of the financial burden on them. I thank the Comptroller and members of the Texas Legislature for their work in securing this much-needed aid to help offset the local cost-share for debris removal.
We are listening to our local leaders, and we continue to work with our federal partners to secure more and faster funding. The road to recovery is long, but progress is being made. And each day brings new hope.
Governor Abbott and leaders of the Texas Legislature announced approval of $90 million in emergency state funding to help disaster-declared counties pay for debris removal following Hurricane Harvey. In most cases, even with federal disaster assistance, cities and counties are responsible for ten percent of debris removal costs. The funds will be administered by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in coordination with the Texas Division of Emergency Management.
$478.2 million in Public Assistance funding from FEMA for state and local governments has been obligated, and 914 Requests for Public Assistance have been received from jurisdictions, as of Nov. 8.
Because of the Commission staff's daily outreach in impacted communities, as of Nov. 9, roughly 3,399 reports have been submitted from the field to the Assistance Center at Texas A&M. From those reports, the Assistance Center identified 614 issues needing follow-up or resolution, and all have been resolved.
TDEM reports more than 9.4 million cubic yards of debris have been collected, estimated at 34 percent of the total.
Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush visited Conn Brown Harbor along with U.S. Coast Guard Commander Tedd Hutley and Aransas Pass Harbor Master Chuck West to mark near completion of the effort to remove crippled or sunken vessels following Hurricane Harvey. The cleanup also included recovery of 57,000 gallons of oil and removal of 8,200 pounds of hazardous materials. Most of the 679 vessels salvaged or recovered after the storm were in waters of the Coastal Bend.
$7.66 billion in federal funds have been provided directly to Texans, including FEMA grants to households, National Flood Insurance Program claims payments and SBA disaster loans, as of Nov. 8.
48,439 individuals are taking advantage of FEMA's Transitional Sheltering Assistance, as of Nov. 9. Survivors staying in hotels under the program may be eligible to stay longer—the new deadline is Nov. 27, 2017. TSA guests will receive a phone call to let them know if they are eligible for the extension and what they need to do to remain at their current hotel or find a new hotel.
172,116 individuals have visited Disaster Recovery Centers for assistance, as of Nov. 8; for current locations and mobile units visit fema.gov/DRC or download the FEMA app fema.gov/mobile-app.
FEMA has completed 557,338 inspections, as of Nov. 8.
For help with questions about insurance claims or settlements, or to report suspected insurance fraud, call the Texas Department of Insurance at 800-252-3439. FEMA is hosting a Facebook LIVE event on Wed., Nov. 15, at 11 a.m., along with the Texas Department of Insurance Consumer Protection Unit.
Members of the General Land Office staff are in the Rockport area turning over Manufactured Housing Units to families affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Workforce Solutions Offices statewide have enrolled 221 disaster-affected participants and placed 51 participants in temporary jobs, as well as provided career services and training to 234 participants.
Workforce Solutions Gulf Coast reports 227 individuals attended the "Turn Around Houston" and "On the Spot Hiring Event" with the City of Houston on Nov. 2, and more than 190 conditional job offers were extended.
Texas Workforce Commission has more than 11,000 disaster-related job openings available on HurricaneHarvey.jobs and WorkInTexas.com.
TWC has identified more than 21,500 Hurricane Harvey impacted jobs seekers in WorkInTexas.com.
$65.6 million in TWC disaster unemployment benefits and $7.8 million in federal Disaster Unemployment Assistance have been provided to Texans, as of Nov. 6.
Mon., Nov. 13, 2017, is the final day to apply for disaster-related unemployment benefits for Caldwell and Grimes counties.
Education Commissioner Mike Morath testified to the Senate Education Committee on Nov. 6 and the House Appropriations Committee on Nov. 8 about the impact of Hurricane Harvey to Texas public schools.
Sixteen districts have submitted an instructional materials needs list to the Hurricane Harvey Instructional Materials Assistance online registry. Of those, four districts have had their lists fulfilled and nine districts have seen their lists partially fulfilled. Nine Texas districts and one Wisconsin district have donated materials to these districts. For more information about how to submit needs or fulfill needs, please visit tea.texas.gov/Academics/Hurricane_Harvey_Instructional_Materials_Assistance/.
24,528 Harvey survivors have called the Cleanup Assistance Hotline at 844-965-1386. Volunteer groups have completed 17,087 requests to muck and gut flood-damaged homes.
More than 3.2 million volunteer service hours have been recorded by Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster members. These volunteer hours are carefully tracked and can be applied to a community's cost-share offset if eligibility requirements are met as determined by FEMA's Public Assistance program.
Rebuild Texas Fund now totals $86.7 million: RebuildTx.org.


I think the share feature is a great idea, but rather useless if you cannot text someone the url of the station your listening to.
Several times I have suggested my friends download xiia, but I am frustrated that I cannot share my favorite stations.
I find myself using a pc to get the url, so I can text it to my friends.


Last month I spent a night in New York City I was surrounded by 250 superstars, from TV show hosts to NY Times Best Selling authors (Tim Ferriss and Roman), and dozens and dozens of the world's top fitness experts (like Jason Ferruggia and Isabel De Los Rios).
It was such as amazing crowd I'm surprised that the United Nations allowed us all to gather in one place at the same time. You know, in case an asteroid hit the restaurant, how would the world survive without us?
Earlier that week I stayed at the Four Seasons in Denver and we had over 35 new Virtual Mastermind members join our fantastic program. As you know, I truly believe the VM to be the best product I have ever created. That claim extends to all of my fitness products and videos, even the new Home Workout Revolution System.
Life is good because we work hard.
And we must be attracting it at the same time.
Recently one of my fitness Publishing Partners finished up the biggest product launch we've ever had. And each one gets better and better.
This required a huge amount of personal growth for our partner. In the past, this person, we'll call them "Ashley," has had a lot confidence issues. Ashley didn't think they were good enough, or didn't know enough, and was easily put off by potential affiliates not returning emails.
Hopefully Ashley is over this. But with each week as we crept toward the launch I had a sense that the "dark side"was coming on strong.
Listen, if the Dark Side of Low Confidence is within you, it MUST be resisted.
Because the dark side of low confidence, whining, begging, and being needy simply REPELS wealth. You will not make money, get affiliates, attract traffic, or build a real business if you exhibit those traits.
Yes, you must be prepared. You must be an expert in your field. You must have a great product. But you can have all of those and still repel wealth if you maintain an inferior mental state.
You must feel MORE than worthy.
In fact, you must feel DESERVING.
This is yours. Go out and get it.
It's time for a check-up from the neck-up, as old Zig Ziglar used to say.
Today, your 10-minute task is to work on your money mindset.
– Are you repelling wealth with an inferiority complex?
– Do you act like the proverbial "Eeyore the Donkey" from Winnie the Pooh?
– Do you attribute all your success to random luck?
– Do you believe that you are resigned to struggle for the rest of your life?
– Do you let these struggles inhibit your action?
– Do you always break your momentum by attracting trouble into your world just when things are going well?
– Identify what brings you down.
– List all of the things that get you in the zone?
– What's working for you?
– What allows you to get into a state of prosperity?
Look at other areas of your life.
Do you have an abundance of close family relationships? What are you doing right in that area of your life that you can transfer into your business building? Is it because you are making time and effort to keep those family relationships going? While on the other hand you fear business contacts, and so you ignore them instead of picking up the phone?
What is it, my friend, that holds you back in one area of life?
And more important, what is it that allows you to have prosperity in other areas of your life?
Go through this prosperity introspection.
Create a prosperity checklist for yourself.
Don't let your inner demons, your little limitations, your negative (and untrue) self-beliefs stop you from achieving what you desire and deserve.
Once you have your checklist, move on to creating a vision for how your life will look once you start instituting those action steps and achieving real success.
Build the checklist. Create the vision. And let wealth flow into your life.
Please tell me how this has helped you.

Summit to focus on debt solutions | Charleston Daily Mail
? Manchin's forum featuring Simpson, Bowles will address controlling finances
Sen. Joe Manchin believes fixing the federal government's long-term debt problem is the key to getting the nation's economy going again.
Manchin, D-W.Va., is hosting what he's calling a bipartisan fiscal summit at the state Culture Center this morning. Since he was elected to the Senate in 2010, Manchin has been frustrated over the way Congress and President Barack Obama have dragged their feet to get the federal government's now $16 trillion and growing debt under control.
During a Friday phone interview, Manchin said the bleak long-term fiscal forecast for the country has weakened confidence. With current economic growth stagnant, Manchin said it's critical that leaders step up to restore that confidence.
"If we do the right thing and we're able to come together as Americans and fix the finances as we should, I don't think we'll be able to catch the market as fast as it will grow," he said. "I believe it."
The forum will feature former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., and Erskine Bowles, who served as White House chief of staff during former President Bill Clinton's administration.
Simpson and Bowles served as co-chairmen of the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, which President Barack Obama formed in 2010 to come up with a way to get the country's burgeoning debt under control.
While the commission produced a comprehensive, bipartisan plan to fix the problem in December 2010, the White House and Congress largely ignored that plan because it called for making politically unpopular choices.
Provisions included raising payroll taxes and retirement age to shore up Social Security, reducing farm and student loan subsidies, and closing some overseas military bases.
While Manchin said he doesn't agree with everything in the Bowles-Simpson plan, he said it was the best starting point when compared to any other current proposal.
"You have to agree that you need to have a big picture to get our financial house in order," Manchin said. "Bowles-Simpson is by far the absolute roadmap." The plan has a three-pronged approach: curbing government expenses and reducing waste, eliminating loopholes in the tax code that are commonly exploited by individuals and corporations, and reforming entitlement programs. He said the plan doesn't severely cut Social Security and Medicare, but it does help those programs become more viable in the long run.
Manchin has said he does not favor changing either program for those near retirement, but he said changes must be made to reduce costs and wastes.
"You don't have to change the core values, but you do have to run them more efficiently," he said.
In a statement Friday, Capito said she was looking forward to having a bipartisan, common sense discussion about ways to solve the problem.
"Our nation has sunk $5.4 trillion deeper into debt to a record $16 trillion, or $51,000 per American," Capito said. "We cannot keep going down this path."
Put politics aside, Manchin said the key to working out the problem is to get leaders on both parties to set aside hyper-partisan rhetoric and commit to work together to craft a plan.
It's an attitude Manchin says is sorely lacking in Washington. Since joining Congress in 2010, Manchin said leaders in both parties have made clear a number of times that they won't budge from the party line in order to tackle the country's fiscal problems.
"Politics trumped everything," he said. He said he's been dumbfounded and appalled at the way political leaders look at the nation's finances. As governor, Manchin was constitutionally required to have a balanced budget. No requirement exists on the national level.
Manchin said when he began asking budget analysts and Congressional leaders about the budget process, they focused more on government spending side than figuring out a way to pay for it.
"I asked the question when I first went to Washington, 'What's the revenue going to be in the first 2011 budget?'" Manchin said. "They said that they estimated approximate spending of about $3.5 trillion.
"I told them, 'I understand you're committed to spending $3.5 trillion, but do you have any idea how much revenue you're going to be bringing in?'" He said they eventually admitted they only expected to receive about $2.2 trillion in revenue during the budget year.
"I said you don't have to be a mathematician to figure that out, people in West Virginia know how to count," Manchin said. "This is insane."
But the anecdote Manchin says is most telling about the severity of the nation's finances came out of a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing he observed during his first year in Congress.
The freshman senator asked Adm. Mike Mullen, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, what Mullen thought was the greatest threat facing the United States.
"I knew about the dangers in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Israel, Syria and Russia, so I'm really intently listening because, boy, now we're really going to know what the hot spots are," Manchin said.
"But he never hesitated — he said it's the debt of our nation that's the greatest threat to Americans," Manchin said. "He was afraid we were coming apart from within because of the debt we had accumulated."
West Virginia model
West Virginia has faced its own debt crisis before, when long-term liabilities in the 1980s pushed the state to the brink.
Manchin said West Virginia leaders have done a good job over the past few decades to reform finances. He said that experience could serve as a model for the federal government. While cuts and changes were necessary, he said leaders carved out essential priorities that must continue.
"We took our priorities based on our values — which are our children, their education, and our seniors, making sure that they and our veterans get the care they need," Manchin said. "Those were our basic building blocks."
Manchin said getting the state on the right fiscal track helped insulate it when the economy started to turn in 2007.
The recession in West Virginia was relatively light compared to other parts of the country.
Manchin said the policies he and the Legislature put in place — such as privatizing workers' compensation and cutting longterm liabilities — improved the state's business climate.
"People had confidence to invest and grow the economy," he said. "When you build confidence in public trust, that's a formula for success."
He said 20 Republican and 20 Democrat senators have committed to using the plan as a roadmap for reform.
Manchin said he wished Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would make a strong commitment, if elected, to solve the debt crisis in a bipartisan, Bowles-Simpson- like fashion.
"God, that will be a breath of fresh air, wouldn't it?" he said.
Today's event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Culture Center. Manchin hopes people will come out and listen to the ideas discussed.
"I'm just encouraging everyone that please, if you've ever been concerned and you know that there needs to be a path to fix this, then join us at 9 o'clock in the Culture Center," Manchin said.
"We owe it to them to at least listen and have a chance to understand it."

Now the plot thickens with this Ebola crisis. The UN is now set to pass a World Patriot Act. Now, the tyranny is beginning to show and their true agenda is coming to light. So while the world is in a panic over the Ebola hoax, the Power Elite are taking full advantage. Another sleight of hand by the diabolical Globalists. Abby Martin speaks with RT Correspondent Marina Portnaya, about a new UN resolution that is being compared to the US Patriot Act, going over how the text could allow countries to increase surveillance under the name of counter terrorism, as well as giving states new tools to crack down on dissent by simply labeling activists 'terrorists'.
Global Patriot Act: Resolution 1373 — in effect, a global Patriot Act — fanned outward from the Security Council. Regional bodies joined the effort, adding action plans and treaties to carry out the new policies. The European Union, the African Union, the Organization of American States, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Association of South East Asian Nations, the Arab League, and other organizations supported the Security Council plan and required their member states to comply with it.
When it passed Resolution 1373, the Security Council failed to link global security law with human rights. For two years, the council's website pronounced that it was other international agencies' business to monitor rights since the Security Council was only in the security business. Countries as diverse as Germany, Vanuatu, Thailand, Russia, Canada, and Ethiopia and more than 100 others adopted comprehensive anti-terrorism laws to comply with Resolution 1373. Although these countries were all following the same instructions, their anti-terrorism laws differed substantially. By the time the Security Council officially expressed concern about the dire human-rights implications of the policies some governments adopted, it was too late. The measures were already enacted.
