President Bill Clinton rolls his eyes as he looks at his smart phone.
BC: Hello, Barack is that you?

BC: No way man, we got a party going on down here!
BO: Where are you? Are you in Columbia again?
BC: I better not say. Have you seen Hillary?

BO: I'm in the oval office…under the desk.
BC: I've been there few times, boom! Oh yeah.

All of Europe, I guess. I transmitted that I didn't think he should do it. He promised me he wouldn't. He's a liar. And some dumb@$$ cowboy wants to have High Noon out in the Nevada desert thanks to that jack-wagon Harry, Nancy is stalking me everywhere I turn with those googly eyes, Obamacare is falling apart, the IRS targeting is getting worse, don't even mention Benghazi or Fast and Furious. FLOTUS won't let me have anything…and I mean anything. No cheeseburgers, no cigarettes! I can't take it anymore. If I send her on anymore vacations, the damn Republicans will have a fit. What should I do?
BC: Ha, ha, ha, you're calling me now, aren't you!

BC: Yeah it is. You whiner! I got fricking impeached, try that, you puke! Old Slobodan didn't see that coming though did he?

BC: Oh, stop it. Get a hold of yourself. Do you even have an intern?
BC: Well, get on the phone, man. Tell her you got some late night dictation to do, and it can't wait till morning. It's a national emergency. You'll feel right as rain by morning.
BO: My intern is a guy!
BC: Hey, whatever floats your boat, we are democrats! Ha, ha, ha! Glad I could help. Hey gotta run. I need give to Maria a lesson in the Bill of rights! Heeeeya!
BO: I wish I was there.
BC: C'mon man, only a couple more years. You can ride it out. We'll put Hillary in there next and you and me will be sailing. We'll set up a man cave in the west wing like nobodies business! First dudes…are you kidding me? All the fun, none of the headache.
BO: I don't think I can make it. @#$!* Iran is gonna nuke somebody, and we all know who. Carter keeps sending me letters of advice.
BC: Carter? Is he alive? What do you mean letters?
BO: Paper! Paper letters! He's afraid of the NSA.
BC: Well, nobody remembers Carter. I'd burn those letters right now. Don't want those turning up on some web site. Iran…yeah, well that's your own fault. They're always angry and I told you not to mess with Netanyahu, he'll kick you're a$$ and not wrinkle his suit. I told you those A-rabs don't want to be your friend. You keep talking trash about oil being bad for the world. What do you expect? You need a break. Meet me in Chicago tomorrow night at ten at The Blues on Halsted.
BO: I thought you were on a beach somewhere?
BC: Tonight I am. Tomorrow I'm in Chi-town for my main man Barack!
BO: Oh, that sounds good. I haven't been to Chicago for awhile. What is The Blues on Halsted?
BC: S.O.B. are you freaking kidding me? You don't know The Blues on Halsted?
BC: Ppffffff! I am the first black President. I knew it. I said it once and I'll say it again. Google it. The Service guys can get you there. Tell FLOTUS you have to meet with me about a business deal or something.
BO: She won't believe that.
BC: Tell her you want to go to church and visit Jeremiah or something. I don't care.
BO: Do they have cheeseburgers?
BC: Yeah, and booze, and packs and packs of cigarettes and the blues like you've never heard…real blues.
BC: You need to unwind. We'll be just like two brothas out for a night on the town.
BO: Okay, I'm doing it. I'll see you there tomorrow night at 10.
BC: Right on, brotha from another motha, yeah, and if you see Hillary, don't mention that I was in Chicago or really anything. She thinks I'm in Arkansas.
BO: I can hear Michelle calling my name, she's looking for me.
BC: So what? You're hiding under a desk. What's wrong with that? You're by yourself aren't you? No cigars, no intern dresses, no definition of the word "is".
BC: No kidding. You're on your own with that, you married her. See you tomorrow night in Chicago. It's a Boys Night Out!

Today is Anzac Day, commemorating the day a contingent of Australian and New Zealand young working class men landed at Gallipoli in a bungled invasion of the Ottoman Empire on behalf of the British Empire -- and got slaughtered in weeks of horrific mass carnage of unspeakable horror. It is ridiculous and tragic in equal measure that this horrific example of industrial scale killing is used to bolster nationalism and militarism, to help justify MORE killing.
Wel, I wrote a column, my weekly Carlo's Corner for Green Left Weekly, called Gallipoli -- Never forget, and never forgive that gives my views on this issue. Rather than repeat that here, I have produced a list of songs on the horror of war (in the case of the first three, specifically on Gallipoli). Then, three songs on *responses* to the horror of war.
The list is not intended to be complete. These are just the songs that I love that occurred to me today. You got others, don't fucking complain it is not on there, put it in the goddamn comments section. You can go to a Youtube playlist based (but not 100% the same) as the list below.
'If I was asked I'd say/The colour of the Earth that day/It was dull and browny red/The colour of blood I'd say'
'Death hung in the smoke and clung to four hundred acres of useless beachfront.' All the songs, each a snapshot of the horror of war, from PJ Harvey's 2011 'Let England Shake' album are on this YouTube playlist. The lyrics of each can be read here.
'How well I remember that terrible day when our blood stained the sand and the water. And how in that Hell that they called Sulva Bay, we were butchered like lambs at the slaughter.' Liam Clancy's live version above is pretty untouchable version of this song, but for the best recorded version, you cannot go past The Pogues rendition.
'Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame, the killing, the dying, it was all done in vain.' The sound quality on this clip is not the best, but the emotional weight of the performance makes it worth going with this version. The best recorded version is the fantastic rough-edged rendition by early folk punk band The Men They Couldn't Hang.
'Frankie kicked a mine the same day mankind kicked the moon. God help me, he was going home in June.' The Herd provide a hip hop cover of Redgum's classic about an Australian soldier sent to Vietnam.
'At least we're winning on the Fox Evening News.' Richard Thompson on the horror of the Iraq War, the title taken from British soldier slang for 'Baghdad', filled with other pieces of slang coz 'no one dies when we're speaking double speak'.
'The smell of blood, the drone of flies. You know what to do when the baby cries. HOIST THAT RAG.' Tom Waits, asked about his 2004's Real Gone album that contained anti-war songs for the first time in his career, said singing protest songs was like "throwing peanuts at a gorilla". But Waits has a good throwing arm and his aim is true.
'How is it that the only ones responsible for making this mess got their sorry asses stapled to a goddamn desk?'
'I'm not fighting for justice. I'm not fighting for freedom. I'm just fighting for another day in the world here.'
'Yeah, you tell me that this is not a dream. I've become a steel spring. Uranium tips, night vision cruise missiles gonna cut the belly out of the sky.' The Drones perfectly capture the horror of war throughout the past century... right up to the sheer unspeakable horror of the permanent, endless so-called "war on terror". Read all the lyrics.
THE RESPONSE
Bob Dylan-Masters of War(graphic) by ccharlie182
'And I hope that you die. And your death'll come soon. I will follow your casket in the pale afternoon. And I'll watch while you're lowered down to your deathbed. And I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead.'
'Political scum, political scum, you lead the way, you beat the drum...' Irish American celtic punk band The Tossers give their considered view on politicians who send young working class people to kill and die. But the best response of all is....
'Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war. Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud El Bar.' A rising. The best response to the horror of industrial-scale slaughter for Great Power is to rise up against the Great Power -- and strike out for freedom. Ireland's 1916 Easter Rising against British rule was driven in large part by opposition to the imperialist slaughter in Europe... to keep Irish people, facing the threat of conscription being introduced by their British masters, out of the war and to strike a decisive blow at one of the Great Powers responsible for the carnage.
Sadly, they lost -- so an even better response was the Russian Revolution, which won, took Russia out of the war and was a decisive factor in ending the slaughter as the generals of all belligerent nations began to fear the example of a successful slave revolt on their ranks.
TWO BONUS TRACKS
They don't quite fit, but they deserve a special mention...
'Tell me I'm a hero now, so someone else can fight this war...' Texas country singer Hayes Carll's surrealist, hallucinatory, drug-fuelled tale of a soldier in Afghanistan.
'Sent me off to a foreign land. Said go and kill the yellow man. I was born in the USA...' Worth including just because it is so misunderstood. Widely mistaken for a patriotic song, even Ronald EReagan -- to Springsteen's bemusement and anger -- used it as a presidential campaign at one point. By the 1990s, Springsteen had taken to performing the song acoustically or so stripped back (like above) that the words and their meaning were impossible to misunderstand. This song is only pro-USA is you think poverty, lack of opportunities, the send of womring class youths to foreign wars, and the abandonment of those who fight and widespread unemployment are good things. Which, in Reagan's defence, I think he actually did.

Wargasm, wargasm one, two, three
Tie a yellow ribbon around the amputee
Masturbate watch it on TV
Crocodile tears for the refugee
Smutty, bloody pictures, ecstasy
Blue balls waiting impatiently
From Alcatraz to Lady Liberty
Body bags and dropping bombs
The pentagon knows how to turn us on
People, people, ecstasy
Wave those flags high in the air
As long as it takes place over there
Wargasm
Turn us on
Flogging Molly -- Screaming at the Wailing Wall

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOLeR-kHAXE
So God how come every wrong's been done?
With deals no Christ should allow
Once the communist now the terrorist
With blood as thick as yours
Now a caravan of clouds
Warns us all of winter showers
Then rattle comes the rain
With each bullet screams your name
So how come this gatherin' storm
Pours little on the truth?
Where the smokin' gun's a familiar
song let loose
With the bombed out cars
Come the falling stars
From a heaven we'll never know
And the nameless names
On the misspelled graves grow tall
We're still screamin' at the Wailing Wall
I'll liberate your peoples' fate
Spoke the Burnin' Bush
But the song of beasts
Grow with oil soaked teeth
Their dollor is mighty and true
Now the eagle soares the sky
Over refugee and child
And to all there is no end
Another day in perfect Hell
All Hail
Warns us of deadly showers
Then a rattle comes the rain
Oh I'll liberate your peoples' fate
As we scream at the wailing wall

Ensemble Musica Nova Records Music To The Virgin Mary
By Anna Pranger
On our podcast this week, praise to a different kind of mother.
Listen in Popup
There are many around the world who call Mary, the mother of Jesus, their mother also. Praise and prayers have been directed to her almost since the beginning of the religion, in fact a cult to her was sanctioned all the way back in 431. People would pray to Mary to intercede on their behalf to Jesus – because who can say "no" to their mother. In the middle ages and Renaissance, when pictures of "Madonna and child" were springing up everywhere, a whole body of music developed around the worship of Mary also.
Anna Pranger moved to Bloomington in 2009 to pursue a degree in music librarianship. Before this, she worked on a degree in music history at the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio. She serves as both an assistant producer for Harmonia and the Music Library Assistant for WFIU.

Obama Wins
Kesha Ram vs. Chris Pearson II
Allen Rebuts Crane on Parks
Crane Against Penny for Parks
Adrian Drops Mayoral Bid
The five day mayoral campaign.
Ed Adrian has sent an email to supporters announcing his decision to drop out of the mayoral race this year. Here it is...
"Fellow Burlingtonians,
Less then a week ago I announced my intention to run for Mayor of Burlington. I am writing to you again to let you know that this is no longer my intent. The thrust of my platform was to make Burlington a 21st Century city that would encourage families of all types to stay and move into Burlington.
Thanks to all of you who have reached out to me in the interceding time period. However, it has become evident to me that if I put 100% of my efforts into helping the families of Burlington, I will not be giving my young family the attention it deserves. This decision has not been made lightly, however it has been made that much easier in that I am confident that the only other announced Democrat in the race, Andy Montroll will be striving towards many of the same goals that I planned to work on. I will be working vigorously on Andy's campaign and hope you will join me in that pursuit.
It is also evident to me that were I to start down a similar path in the future, there are a number of bridges I need to build, as well as some that I need to work on repairing. Over the months and years to come, it is my intention to reach out to those who share similar ideological interests, even if our partisan allegiances differ.
I hope to see you all at the Democratic Caucus at Champlain Elementary on December 3, 2008 at 6:30 PM.
Ed"
Well that was fast. What do you suppose that 'bridge building' paragraph was about? "..intention to reach out to those who share similar ideological interests, even if our partisan allegiances differ." Do you think he's talking about David Zuckerman and the bitter aftermath of the Chittenden 3-4 legislative race?
Well anyway... it looks like Andy Montroll is finally going to get his shot after losing the democratic mayoral nomination to "fusion" candidate Peter Clavelle in 2003 and to State Senator Hinda Miller in 2006.
Now it seems we'll have Kiss, Montroll, Wright and possibly Smith on the ballot for mayor in March. Let's see what happens next...
At November 20, 2008 12:21 PM, Anonymous said…
What a loss.....for Ed's family.


Thieves in Stockton-on-Tees, Teesside, have begun targeting play areas after a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) had its metal security fencing stolen.
It is the latest in a countrywide crime spree as the price of scrap metal continues to rise and young footballers have been left dismayed at the latest attack. The council-owned MUGA is very popular with local youths and children and is regularly used by Primrose Hill Junior Football Club.
However, the site will now be off-limits for any budding footballers as the council looks to repair and replace the £18,000 fences. The authority has deemed the £50,000 site to be "too dangerous" due to a number of sharp edges and exposed areas.
A spokeswoman for Stockton council told the Middlesbrough Gazette: "It is disheartening to hear of this incident at what is a well-used and popular facility with people of all ages. If the stolen panels cannot be recovered, we will order and install replacements."

Jobs numbers out today
Nonfarm payrolls increased by 1.37 million in August vs. Dow Jones estimates of 1.32 million.
The unemployment dropped to 8.4% from 10.2% in July and well below expectations of 9.8%.
Government hiring led the way, with gains also coming in retail and education and health services.
But here is the reality chart

Lots of news that could move markets this week
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin testify before Congress on June 30 in what's expected to be a broad overview of the economy and monetary policy. The Fed's John Williams and Charles Evans also have speeches on the calendar and FOMC minutes are due out on July 1. On the economic front, reports on factory orders, trade balance, and manufacturing PMI will all pour in before the June jobs report steals the show on July 2. Economists project a gain of 3M jobs during the month to take the unemployment rate to 12.2% from 13.3%.
Apple really needs the help
The central bank has purchased the bonds of 794 different companies, with the paper of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Verizon (VZ), AT&T (NYSE:T), and the U.S. divisions of Toyota (NYSE:TM), Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY), and Daimler (OTCPK:DDAIF) making up 10% of the amount spent. The plan is to buy $250B of debt already issued, and $500B in newly issued bonds. Fed officials have said the goal of the buying is to maintain liquidity in the market for corporate debt, so that issuers are able to access capital despite the economic downturn created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

I wonder how much of the sales rebound is from one time government handout?
At May 6 was reported that the IRS sent 159 million stimulus checks
www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance...tions-answers-2020-4
Have you heard, big mistake in job numbers, they were much worse
Unfortunately, after delving into the footnotes of the numbers, it now looks like the jobs report has been inaccurate for the last two months. BLS has admitted that government household survey takers mistakenly counted about 4.9 million people as employed, although they were unemployed.
Had the mistake been corrected, the unemployment rate would have risen to 16.1% in May. The corrected April figure would have been more than 19.5%—rather than 14.7%.
www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2020/06/0...oyment/#4c0b250f60d3
No guesses this month, here is the numbers. Surprise
The U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to 13.3 percent in May, down from a record high in April, indicating the nation's economy is recovering faster than expected from the coronavirus lockdown.
The Labor Department said in its Friday report that employers added a stunning 2.5 million jobs in May -- the biggest increase on record. The economy shed a combined 22.1 million jobs in April and March.
Gambler, you were close
Nonfarm payrolls in March fell by 701,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%.
The numbers just begin to capture the beginning of the job market collapse brought up by efforts to contain the coronavirus.
This was the first decline in payroll growth since September 2010.
I will guess -180k

any guesses at the job numbers for March, out tomorrow. Estimates all over. I think it goes by about mid March so not full impact yet. I am going with -500,000 I woner if government will just pencil in a bad number to put it in the history books, like -10 million

This is a good read. Canada will be crucified with our weak leadership and a non confidence vote is around the corner
www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/03/08/...irus-quake-reshapes/
The worlds geopolitical order will be unrecognisable once Covid-19 has done its worst. Long-standing regimes will be badly compromised. Political systems that have never fully recovered from the Lehman crisis will suffer a second body blow.
Those Western democratic governments that have been most complacent or incompetent will be torn to shreds by unforgiving electorates. Social media will see to that.
Covid-19 is turning into a strategic contest between the social control model of Chinas Communist Party and the unruly, free-spirited pluralism of the West. How that comparison plays out will shape the global order in the 21st Century.
In this country, Brexit scarcely matters right now. Decimal points of GDP are irrelevant. Boris Johnson will be judged on whether or not his administration allows avoidable decimation of the elderly -- and the not so elderly -- and whether the National Health Service buckles in catastrophic institutional failure.
Korea has six times as many intensive care (ICU) beds per capita, and Germany four times as many. What we know so far from Lombardy is that 13 percent of infected patients require ICU treatment, typically for two to three weeks.
The outbreak is already overwhelming the system in Italys best equipped region. ICU patients are being sent to Tuscany because beds have run out.
The Italian society of anesthesia and critical care says it may be necessary to reserve "very scarce resources" to patients with a "higher chance of survival and more years of life to come." The unthinkable is happening.
"Italy should be a warning to everybody, everywhere," says Professor Massimo Galli, head of infectious diseases at the Luigi Sacco hospital in Milan.
He is scathing about those still playing down the threat. "It was never anything like flu. People uttering such things are sowing confusion among those who wish to be confused," he said.
If the British government can buy vital weeks to "flatten the peak" and stretch the epidemic into the less contagious summer (we hope), it might have a chance of preventing a national disgrace -- starting with a shortage of respirators, one variable explaining why reported mortality rates in Wuhan are 5.8 percent, 2 percent in Beijing, and 1 percent in Shanghai, but rising everywhere as slow deaths come in.

Q: iOS private API call to bring app to the foreground Is there any way to programmatically bring an iOS application that's currently running in the background to the foreground? Note that this is an enterprise iOS app for non-jailbroken devices, so private API calls are fine.
I've tried a number of solutions already, including registering a custom URL handler and calling openURL from the background task, but it seems that openURL calls are ignored from background tasks. Is there a lower-level private API call that's used by openURL internally that I could use?
Other approaches I've tried include those mentioned at Launch other application without URL schema in iphone? but those don't seem to work from background tasks either.

A: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] launchApplicationWithIdentifier:@"" suspended:NO];

You'll need to set the com.apple.springboard.launchapplications entitlement to YES as well for it to work.

Jecheon, a city of serenity, excitement
For the year 2017, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced a list of 10 travel destinations and itineraries covering spots all over the country, with cultural heritage sites, food and accommodations listed at each location.
The ministry has chosen Jecheon, along with its neighbors Danyang, Chungju and Yeongwol, as tourist destinations for people looking to find peace in nature. Here, travelers will find pristine natural sites that offer a getaway from the bustle of city life.
The Uirimji Reservoir (의림지, 義林池), made during the reign of King Jinheung (진흥왕, 眞興王) (r. 526-576), the 24th Silla ruler, still supplies water to nearby farmlands. It's also a frequented esplanade for locals and tourists alike.
"It's a place with clear water, beautiful mountains and a whole bunch of things to do," said Kim Dong Hak, the tourism and leisure director in Jecheon, by way of introducing the city.
The clean waters of the Uirimji Reservoir and Cheongpungho Lake reflect the sky and the Woraksan, Sobaeksan and Chiaksan mountains, surrounding the city with green. In Jecheon, people can enjoy leisure activities like paragliding, kayaking and a zip-line, while appreciating the landscape at the same time.
The trees around the Uirimji Reservoir look like a scene from a traditional Korean painting when they're covered in snow.
The first place to visit in Jecheon is the Uirimji Reservoir (의림지, 義林池).
According to legend, it was first made by Ureuk (우륵, 于勒), a musician who was active during the time of King Jinheung (진흥왕, 眞興王) (r. 526-576), the 24th Silla monarch. It's the oldest man-made lake that survives in Korea.
The reservoir's circumference is 1.8 kilometers and its depth is 13.5 meters. The water is surrounded by some 200 pine trees that are 200- to 300-years-old. From the three pavilions along the waterside — Yeonghojeong, Gyeonghoru and Ureukjeong pavillions — different scenes of Uirimji can be observed.
Sunset over Cheongpungho Lake, as seen from a boat, is just like the view of a sunset on the shores of the Yellow Sea.
Jecheon's clean water can be enjoyed on a large scale at Cheongpungho Lake.
Cheongpungho Lake was formed 1,500 years after the Uirimji Reservoir was made due to the construction of the Chungju Dam in 1985. Thanks to its width, it's called Korea's "inland sea." The Chungpung Cultural Heritage Complex, the Chungpungho Tourist Monorail, bungee jumps and paragliding facilities are all collected near the lake. The scenic sight of Cheongpungho Lake seen from a pleasure boat is most-recommended to those who are tired from their busy urban life.
Canoeing and kayaking are available near the Oksundaegyo Bridge at Cheongpungho Lake.
At Gyodong Minhwa Village, 80 minhwa folk paintings (민화) grouped into seven themes decorate the town. The tiger in the photo above is one of the symbols of the village.
Tourism in Jecheon is more than just sight-seeing.
The Gyodong Minhwa Village is a tiny town near the Jecheon Hyanggyo Confucian School (제천향교). The school was established during the reign of Goryeo's final ruler, King Gongyang (공양왕, 恭讓王) (r, 1389~1392). The village itself is another must-see in Jecheon. From 2009, local artists came together to paint the old town, turning it into the colorful tourist site of today. The paintings have seven themes: scholastic achievement, long life, eternity, recollection, hope, success and winning first place. Craftwork related to folk paintings are sold in the handicraft workshops run by the villagers. Visitors can also make their own minwha fans, make their own works of pottery, or bake minwha-inspired cookies.

Add new data types of color and font.
For example, we would be able to create a memory tag of type 'Color' or and type 'Font' and then link all fonts and colors back to this memory tag, hence making it easy to change the style of our projects quickly and with ease.
Yes - would like to see the idea of "Themes" come to Ignition (maybe 3rd party?) so we can quickly build nicely designed and consistent projects and even easily change the theme then as necessary. Your idea of Color and Font could be a part of that.
Maybe for now make them additional properties on components, but I don't know of a way to add them wholesale including binding them to all components or even a bunch of them.
As Martin has mentioned strings work fine for this. The obvious downside is the lack of a color selector. You can work around this by creating a user interface element to modify this client tag using the system.gui.chooseColor.
I would avoid using a runScript.
Or an expression binding the runs a custom script like shared.getColor("yellow"). This allows central management of the shade of yellow for example. Same concept applies for fonts.

Germany downplays Muslims' anti-Jewish attacks

The annual al-Quds Day march in Berlin is often cited as a prime example of the "new" anti-Semitism in Europe: hatred of Jews in connection with Israel, often by Muslims.
Despite attempts by organizers to suppress expressions of anti-Semitism, the march features frequent calls to kill Israelis, Zionist conspiracies and chants of "free Palestine from the river to the sea" — meaning the annihilation of the Jewish state and its inhabitants. Flags of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah are on display, and imams preach anti-Semitic verses from the Quran to the crowd in Farsi and Arabic.
To many, such agitation is especially troubling on streets where the persecution of Jews was so brutal that it moved whole societies in Europe to vow "Never again."
Iran launched al-Quds Day in 1979 to express support for Palestinians and oppose Zionism; international events of support have followed. Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem.
Curiously, however, some of the incidents documented at the Quds Day march in Berlin have been classified by authorities as far-right anti-Semitism, independent watchdog groups have discovered. Critics say the mislabeling facilitates attempts to politicize anti-Semitism, complicating a losing battle to solve it.
"It means we can't really use the official statistics on anti-Semitism in Germany," Daniel Poensgen, a researcher at the Department for Research and Information on Anti-Semitism (RIAS), told JTA. Germany's Interior Ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
Doubts about the ministry's methodology have become more pronounced as its data increasingly diverges with information from across Western Europe — and from the perceptions of German Jews themselves.
Last month, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said that supporters of far-right groups were responsible for about 90 percent of the 1,800 anti-Semitic incidents recorded in Germany in 2018, a 20 percent increase over the previous year.
In France, by contrast, more than half of incidents, and virtually all violent ones, are perpetrated by immigrants from Muslim countries or their descendants, according to the National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism.
In Britain, the Community Security Trust suggests that far-right perpetrators are responsible for 50 to 60 percent of incidents where victims offered a physical description of their attackers, which happened in about 30 percent of cases in 2018, a 19 percent hike from the previous year.
In the Netherlands, the previous director of a national watchdog on anti-Semitism said that Muslims and Arabs are responsible for about 70 percent of all cases recorded in any given year.
In a 2016 survey of hundreds of German Jews who experienced anti-Semitism, 41 percent said the perpetrator was "someone with a Muslim extremist view" and another 16 percent said it was someone from the far left. Only 20 percent identified aggressors belonging to the far right.
"There is clearly a mismatch here, and it speaks to the inaccuracy of the German official statistics," Poensgen said. His organization has talked to officials. "There was interest in our criticism, it was listened to and studied, but till now [there's] severe reluctance on the federal level to change their category system."
Confidence in German authorities was undermined in 2014 when a court ruled that anti-Semitism was not behind the attempt by three Palestinians to set fire to a synagogue in Wuppertal.
To some, there is a political dimension to the reluctance of German authorities to blame anti-Semitism on Muslim immigrants. Surveys suggest that group is considerably more anti-Semitic than non-immigrants, or more open about it. But "the new Muslim anti-Semitism is taboo, as addressing it would only strengthen opponents of immigration," Krisztina Koenen wrote in March in the Hungarian-Jewish magazine Neokohn.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has faced criticism, including that she is importing anti-Semitism, over a decision to let in over 2 million immigrants from Syria and the Middle East since 2015. Last year, a German federal entity took pains to refute the claim. The study by the Berlin-based EVZ Foundation claims there is no connection between anti-Semitism and immigration.
The conclusion prompted scathing criticism by Andrew Baker, director of international affairs for the American Jewish Committee. He said the report's authors "ignore the data, dismiss the problem, and blame the victims."
Poensgen doubted that official statistics are being deliberately mislabeled for political purposes. "Most likely it's the result of an out-of-date classification system that for historical reasons is designed to monitor far-right anti-Semitism," he said. He cited one 2014 case in which 20 men shouted "Sieg heil" at an al-Quds Day march. The episode appears as a far-right incident in the Interior Ministry's records.
RIAS uses a more nuanced classification system, Poensgen said. Last year, it indicated that the far right was responsible for about 18 percent of anti-Semitic hate crimes where perpetrators could be affiliated with a specific group. Islamists and anti-Israel activists accounted for 11 percent. Other categories included conspiracy theorists, the far left and centrists. The political affiliation of about half the cases were unknown.
German authorities have made attempts to address Muslim anti-Semitism. Its top intelligence agency recently published a 40-page analysis of rising anti-Semitism by Islamist extremists that was welcomed by Jewish leaders.
But the government's system for classifying anti-Semitic incidents is flawed, said Laszlo Bernat Veszpremy, who has researched anti-Semitism among recent immigrants to Europe in a paper published by the Budapest Migration Research Institute. It has five categories: right-wing, left-wing, foreign ideology, religious ideology and unknown, which is rarely used.
"The problem is that Islam is not mentioned anywhere, so Islamist or 'pro-Palestine' attacks, which could motivate Muslim or Arab perpetrators, can go in at least three categories: right-wing (nationalist), foreign (secular) or religious," Veszpremy told JTA.
"The de facto situation is that pretty much any anti-Semitic incident in Germany is automatically attributed to the far right because of how the classification system works."
In France and Belgium, authorities are frequently accused of downplaying left-wing and immigrant anti-Semitism.
"I no longer have full confidence that anti-Semitic hate crimes in France are handled properly," Sammy Ghozlan, a former police commissioner and founder of France's National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, or BNVCA, told JTA. He cited the murder trial of a Muslim man who killed his Jewish neighbor while shouting about Allah and calling her a demon. The presiding judge reopened the issue of the defendant's sanity — after he was found fit to stand trial. Critics charge that the court was reluctant to blame the attack on anti-Jewish animus.
In its annual report for 2016, the French National Consultative Commission on Human Rights wrote that a "significant part of the anti-Semitic acts (actions and threats) pertains to neo-Nazi ideology, whereas in most other cases the perpetrators' motivations are difficult to ascertain." It did not mention attacks by Muslims, who BNVCA says are responsible for nearly all violent anti-Semitic incidents in France.
The report also questions the very existence of a "new anti-Semitism" generated by critics of Israel, saying that if this new anti-Semitism exists, "then it pertains to a minority" of the cases.
In Belgium, prosecutors recently dismissed a criminal complaint filed against a Turkish cafe owner who in 2014 placed a sign on his business saying dogs are welcome, "but Jews are not." The prosecutor's office explained that the cafe owner had promised to write a letter apologizing to the Jewish community. The letter has yet to be seen.
Rubinfeld invoked one of Belgium's best-known surrealist painters. "This," he said, "is something out of the world of René Magritte."

A home inspection before selling a house. Purchasing insurance. A trip to the dentist. These are things that, however necessary, people generally don't enjoy. For HIM directors, coding audits probably fall into this category. But while coding audits may require extra manpower and paperwork, they benefit healthcare facilities in several ways.
Different facilities have different needs, but they all need a means of evaluating their coding processes. Whether it be to ensure proper reimbursement, track implementation of new procedures, or provide documentation to government agencies, coding audits let HIM directors know which areas of their process need the most attention.
Ever-changing reimbursement rules ensure that preventing money from falling through the cracks is a constant challenge. "With the upcoming comparisons of physician CPT billing for procedures done in the hospital being compared for the hospital's billing for those physicians' procedures, it may well be indicated to perform an audit of comparative billing [professional and facility] and then evaluate, if there is a discrepancy, who needs education to get it right," says Robert S. Gold, MD, the CEO of DCBA, Inc. in Atlanta.
Although a 90% grade may suffice in certain circumstances, Gold suggests a goal of 95%, with ensuing education if an educational deficit is determined. "And audits can provide that information," he says.
An important consideration in the auditing process is whether to hire internal auditors or outsource the job. The decision largely depends on the hospital or health system's needs and resources.
Gold notes that with recovery audit contractors and patient safety indicators increasingly affecting hospitals' and physicians' bottom lines, an audit may be indicated when internal review or external report cards suggest that someone may have a problem. "If your hospital is reported as having too many 'accidental punctures or lacerations' or too many cases of 'post-operative respiratory failure,' it behooves the facility to bring in the pros from Dover [outside help] to determine if the issue involves inappropriate documentation, inappropriate assignment of codes, or both," says Gold.

A modern-day Faust. David Sinclair makes a deal with the devil for the souls of Bright Star Hollow, but does not finish the job. Forty years later, he is brought back to finish the job, and nothing's stopping him this time.


This quiz round lists 15 adjectives, such as equine, caprine and vespine. The aim for teams in your quiz is to name the animals these can be used to refer to.
Note that two different versions of this handout round are given. One of these features a list of the 15 animals that make up the answers, but in a mixed order, so the aim is to match these up to the correct adjective. The second version doesn't feature this list and so is more difficult to complete.
Note: This product was added to our site in December 2017.

I saw a new post by D_ recommending Video Maker Magazine. It made me want to look into this. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm currently a student and just starting out with DV film making, but ready to take it on seriously. Naturally, I'd like something that gives product reviews for everything from video equipment to software to computer hardware, as well as advice on how to shoot video itself. From looking at the website, Video Maker magazine looks pretty good. But I welcome more feedback and suggestions. Thanks.
In addition to "Videomaker", you should look at "Camcorder & Computer", "DV", and "Videography". I think the reviews of entry-level products are a bit superficial, but the tips are good. I like "Computer Video" magazine from Great Britain for its product reviews.
BTW, the videoguys themselves have a lot of product reviews and tips that may interest you.
Thanks, I enjoyed both sites.
There are a lot of free magazines available to people if you are in the business. And since to be honest none of them check to make sure you are, they are free to everyone. Word of caution though.....most of the free mags offer reviews that are nothing more then thinly veiled advertisements.
When I first started out back in the early 90's I learned a lot from the guys who own this site. Not sure if they will remember me but I emailed them a few years back telling them how if it wasn't for their flyers in my mail and their website I might have never gone done the path of a digital filmmaker. They have always been ahead of the industry and saw the potential for digital media long before it became the "in" thing.
Read every article here like it was the bible and you'll learn more then you will in most of these so called digital film schools.
My motto: stay digital stay proud.
"I was digital when digital wasn't cool"

Trust your people and give them access to knowledge
COLUMN – As lean teaches us, a command-and-control approach to management is bound to fail. What we need instead is trust in people, and decentralization of knowledge.
Words: Boaz Tamir, President, Israel Lean Enterprise
In business, there is often a big difference between expectations and reality. Typically, when things go south and a strategy doesn't bear fruit, leaders tend to tighten the reins and lose trust in the people around them – in some cases, they are in complete denial.
This is because, in an attempt to gain control that has historically failed over and over again, traditional management has built itself an "organizational machine", designed by industrial engineers (embracing Taylorism), that aims to maintain centralized control by enforcing a hierarchical structure. This has many faces: automation, robotics, managerial planning tools, material requirements planning (MRP) systems, cameras and sensors, and so on. In a way, all of these are an expression of this fundamentally flawed view of management, and it is important to recognize that none of these provide any sort of security for a manager who has is struggling to take the firm to the next level.
So, what can managers do to gain control and advance their organizations? Though it might be counter-intuitive to some, they should decentralize control of the organization, dispersing it among different teams of professionals. This will encourage people at the gemba to take the initiative to find new paths and improve the situation, which will in turn generate a new standard that will guide the whole of the business. Trust breeds responsibility and unleashes creativity. This, in turn, leads to innovative breakthroughs. Conversely, threateningly enforcing discipline from the top chokes inspiration and motivation.
Technology itself should be used to support and enable learning systems, rather than as a tool of command-and-control. Big Data and Machine Learning, for instance, provide researchers with an opportunity for broad simulations, experiments and in-depth analysis that can lead to an understanding of the changing nature of the marketplace – think of social trends or customer behaviours and preferences. But they were never intended for the tracking and monitoring of workers. For entrepreneurs and business managers such technologies should be tools for grasping the situation while on the move, for encouraging autonomous team work, trial and error, and real-time problem solving.
Decentralizing control is just as important when we talk about knowledge ownership within the organization. Making knowledge readily available to everyone is not only a fundamental show of respect for people, it is also a game-changing measure that rightly makes information void of any political power. In an environment of decentralized decision-making, knowledge should belong to anyone who needs it, rather than to the people who have created (or purchased) it. Transferring ownership of knowledge from the creator to the user is the basis for generating trust across the teams in the organizations. This way of thinking also represents the foundation of Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) product development attempt, which we at the Lean Global Network had a chance to learn about last month in Japan.
Believe me, when problems arise that threaten the very existence of your business, as a manager you will want up-to-date knowledge to be standard available to every person in the organization – it's your best bet to ensure that informed decisions are made that will save your company from its otherwise certain demise.
Empowered thinking teams create ideas and examine them in controlled experiments that will gradually transform the organization. Companies like Toyota, Spotify, Disney, Google and Amazon were famously able to forgo their dependence on a hierarchical system that facilitates managerial control in favour of autonomous teams able to continuously generate new knowledge. In such organizations, innovation does not belong to a few privileged individuals; rather, it is a result of everybody's access to knowledge and ongoing participation in teamwork, much like in an ant colony.
Indeed, if businesses were to take nature as a model, the first lesson they'd learn is that there are no shortcuts to evolutionary development. You can accelerate the speed at which you learn (by studying interactions between factors and by understanding side effects), but you can't skip the learning altogether. Evolution is a continuous series of experiments – some successful, some not – that are only possible in an environment where people are free to think for themselves, motivated, engaged in teamwork, and able to access the knowledge they need when they need it. This is the only path to innovation and, on certain occasions, survival.

Read about Miles Davis here.
Once again Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) Orchestra performed a riveting, informative, and poignant concert, this time a tribute to the late, great, incomparable, Miles Davis. Wynton is the consummate educator, and, as an educator myself, I arrive at Rose Theater prepared to learn about composers, compositions, jazz history, and the musicians on the stage. I am never disappointed and always in awe of the tremendous effort that Wynton's Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra makes to give its audience the most meaningful and comprehensive aesthetic experience possible. Tonight, Wynton turned the microphone over to trombonist, Chris Crenshaw as Music Director for the evening. Chris Crenshaw was powerful in his vocal projection and clarity, elucidating each of the twelve pieces performed with fascinating historical detail. He initially spoke about the 20th century jazz pianist, Gil Evans, who had renowned open houses for jazz jams. Wynton Marsalis is to be immediately commended for his organizational style, with such memorable, and often humorous, jazz education content, in spoken anecdotes and written, programmatic notes and format.
Tonight's twelve presented works were arranged and adapted by either Evans, Gerry Mulligan, or members of the band, including Marcus Printup, Crenshaw (several), Sherman Irby, Carlos Henriquez, and Ted Nash. The first piece of tonight's concert, with the band, early on, in nonet (nine musician) format, was Miles Davis' "Deception". Irby's alto sax solo, with Printup on trumpet and Crenshaw on trombone, joined to create atonal, rhythmic ebullience to draw the packed JALC fans close to the sound. The next piece, Davis and Evans' "Boplicity", was smooth big band sound. Nash on alto sax replaced Irby onstage, and a tuba was added to the mix, as well, merging into the melody. Paul Nedzela, on a featured baritone sax was joined by Printup on an impressive trumpet solo, hovering over the backdrop of the Orchestra. Then, Wynton played a gorgeous, spellbinding trumpet solo that soared through the hall. Davis' "Half Nelson" had Wynton moving to the back row, with Irby front and center. Irby's alto sax and Ryan Kisor's muted trumpet, along with Victor Goines' resounding tenor sax, created a warm, dynamic vibrancy in the moment. Vincent Gardner's trombone solo rolled notes like a train.
George and Ira Gershwin and Dubose Heyward's "Gone", we were told, took thirteen takes for the recording. Willie Jones III's heralding drums and a trumpet ensemble flourish opened this piece. Kenny Rampton stood in the back row for his sumptuous trumpet solo. The house lights turned blue, purple, and red as atmospheric effect. A swing rhythm ensued, danceable and sassy. Davis' "Something Else" followed with a trumpet ensemble opening, then Gardner's earthy, bluesy, and soulful trombone. After several takes on the theme, Camille Thurman, on tenor sax, played a sensuous, sensational solo, with Carlos Henriquez accompanying on bass. Dan Nimmer, on piano, added a joyful, breezy variation, with the JALC orchestra in strong dynamic. Davis' "Milestones" was racing, skipping, and effervescent, with extraordinary solos by Wynton and Nash. The piece ends in an echoing piano-sax thematic duet. Davis and Victor Feldman's "Seven Steps to Heaven" opens with Henriques' bass solo, with the introductory notes blasting in a step rhythm. Nedzela, on baritone sax, stands for his tuneful solo, followed by Jones on spotlighted, rambunctious drums. Elliot Mason, on trombone, is followed by Kisor on trumpet.
Davis and Ron Carter's "Eighty One" opened with a buoyant, resonant bass-piano duet. Printup and Mason added a trumpet-trombone rolling caravan motif, before the work ended in Printup's resounding brassy solo. Davis and Feldman's "Joshua" once again featured Printup in a wild and rambling trumpet solo. I noted that I will eagerly look on You Tube for Miles playing some of these same pieces in the coming days. Nimmer's absorbing piano solo, with Henriques' bass on its heels, resulted in the audience's giant applause. Davis' "Drad Dog" featured Wynton on a breathtaking, muted trumpet. This was an exquisite moment, with Wynton bringing the tonal quality of Miles right onto the JALC stage. Thurman, on a smooth, soothing tenor sax, along with piano and bass, made this a most memorable excerpt of the expansive program.
For Miles' "electric period", as Crenshaw noted in his impressively lucid comments, we heard Davis' "Tout de Suite". Nash, on flute, and Kisor, on muted trumpet, created a film noir ambiance, pulsating, urban, and atmospheric. Wynton, playing so masterfully in his element, joined in, with Irby and Goines on a duo sax conversation. Trumpets and trombones, in muted eloquence, wailed in the dark. Davis' "Wrinkle" closed this magnificent program, after Crenshaw regaled the crowd with tales of Miles walking off the bandstand, leaving the musicians to finish a concert. Then Crenshaw walked around the band to a standing microphone, for his own featured trombone solo, followed by Nash and Kisor's sax-trumpet finish. Kudos to the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and kudos to Miles Davis, whom I had the great pleasure to see and hear, decades ago, one summer night.

In Q2 2006, a LCS will come out for the PS2!!
Wait till Brunnera sees this.
It's already said in the GTA LCS topic.
F*ck that, this diserves a new topic. And a news post too, FAST!!
And in what section should that new post be?
Well, since the LCS section isn't up yet, it should be posted in the main news.
Fiscal 2006 first quarter releases included NBA 2K6, NHL 2K6 and Amped 3, all for the Xbox 360 from 2K Sports, with Torino 2006 for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC planned for later in the quarter. Expected fiscal 2006 second quarter releases include The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PC and Xbox 360 from 2K Games; Top Spin 2 for the Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance, College Hoops 2K6 for Xbox 360, and Major League Baseball 2K6 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, PSP, and Nintendo GameCube? from 2K Sports; and Sudoku Fever? for Game Boy Advance and Hummer Badlands for PlayStation 2 and Xbox from Global Star.
I didn't know they released all those blockbusters!! Someone's going to have a fine year. Shall we start investing in Take 2?
I don't think that I'll live for next year, I'm going to have a heart attack right now.
Yeah, I agree. LCS is a great game. But a tad short and knowing the islands already took some fun out of it.
They should add interviews with the producers and behind the scenes or something.
How do you go behind the scenes with video games? And since when would rockstar put it in their game? They would just release the interviews and behind the scenes on the internet, and in the news. It would be different with a movie, but this isn't a movie.
If they even release it at all, which I think willn't happen.
Thank you Shof, that's exactly what I mean.
coooool, when is it coming out in EU ?
I got my PSM mag. yesterday, and I read something marvelous. LCS is being made for Ps2.
oh luckly,I needn't to buy a PSP for playing LCS!!!
sorry, but that has been posted a while ago. I'll merge those threads.
[FONT=Geneva][SIZE=1][COLOR=green] This is great! who are you in Liberty City Stories? I heard i was Toni Cippriani or Joey Leone. Peace out! AMERICA RULES AND DONT FORGET IT! BUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! GOGREENDAY!!!
Uhm why did you put some sh*t about Bush, America & greenday in your post?
Anyway, in LCS you control a skiny Toni Cipriani.
He panicked. Or he picnicked. Or picked a peck of pickled peppers.

3D Printed T-Rex Replica "Trix" to be Displayed at Japanese Dinosaur Museum
April 15, 2021 by Sarah Saunders 3D Printing3D Scanning
3D scanning and 3D printing technologies have been used many times in the past to learn more about the diverse group of reptiles we call dinosaurs that walked the earth millions of years ago, as well as properly showcase them to the public.
In 2013, a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton in great condition and missing only the left leg, skeletal feet, and arm bones, was found on a dig in Montana via the Dutch Naturalis Biodiversity Center, a natural history museum, academic research center, and heritage institution. In order to recreate these missing bones for a full display skeleton, 3D scanning and printing were deployed to make "Trix" whole and ready for display in the Netherlands. Now, a 3D printed reconstruction of Trix will soon be heading to Japan.
Over the last several years, the museum in Leiden has been working to take 3D scans of every single bone in Trix's skeleton, and luckily, they had a lot with which to work.
Anne Schulp, Professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology and dinosaur expert at Naturalis, said, "Because the fossil was preserved in a thick layer of sand, the bones have not been distorted, so we have a perfectly fitting skeleton, which can be seen especially well in the tail vertebrae."

Up until last year, no copies had been made of Trix, but Naturalis recently finished its end of an agreement with the soon-to-open Japanese Dinosaur Museum in Nagasaki—one of the cities twinned with Leiden—to create a special, life-sized replica of the T-rex skeleton.
Naturalis 3D modeler and anatomist Pasha van Bijlert used the 3D scans to create a digital 3D reconstruction of Trix, missing bones and all, and the 41-foot-tall design was printed on Naturalis' Builder 3D Extreme 1500 Printers, out of PLA, in 2020. Then, Naturalis employees partnered with the Leiden School for Instrument Makers (LIS) to set the prints up in a kit so the 660 lb. skeleton is easier to assemble. So instead of hundreds of smaller parts, the T-rex replica consists of 50 larger 3D printed parts.

As a dry run, the 3D printed replica of Trix was first assembled and displayed in the Naturalis entrance hall in late 2020. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum was closed for almost the entire construction period, so hardly any visitors got to see the process. Additionally, Naturalis will now have to assist in the construction process with the Dinosaur Museum via online meetings, instead of in-person.
Project leader Hanneke Jacobs said, "We were planning to travel to Japan together with the replica and help put it together there, but the travel restrictions due to the coronavirus make the journey impossible.
"We built the replica in our atrium because we wanted to share the process with as many visitors as possible, so it's kind of sad that we had to close."
Some interesting changes were made to the 3D printed T-rex skeleton that set it apart from the original skeleton. First, 3D Trix is standing in an attack pose, with its head held higher up in the air; it would not have been advisable to do this with the real skeleton.
"One of the reasons the head of our real Trix is so close to the ground is because we wanted to show its wonderful skull," Van Bijlert explained. "Moreover, the skull is very heavy and valuable, so it's not something you want to position five meters above the ground."
3D Trix also has its knees positioned closer together, which is more accurate, and it also features a more true to life spinal column…thanks, once again, to 3D printing.
"The real Trix is mounted so that each bone can be removed individually from the frame for research. This means that the vertebrae of the back, neck and tail are further apart than when the animal was alive," Van Bijlert said. "In the new reconstruction, I've been able to change this because the bones can all stay in place."
The new reconstruction of Trix has an attacking posture.
While the original Trix skeleton will remain in Holland, the 3D printed replica will be shipped out to Nagasaki next week. The new Dinosaur Museum won't open until October of 2021, so employees will have plenty of time to set 3D Trix up on a metal frame, which will actually go through the plastic bones to give visitors a better look.
"Of course, we don't drill holes in bones that are over 66 million years old. But you can do it with the print," Jacobs said.

The State of the Union Under Trump Is Highly Abnormal—However Well He Reads the Teleprompter
Pomp and pageantry don't negate the very real damage that Trump has caused, to both the Republican Party and America's institutions.

Put aside the more laughable aspects of the State of the Union. Like the members who spend all day saving an aisle seat so they can get an autograph from, or picture with, a president they plan on panning later. Or that we still inexplicably drag Supreme Court justices and the joint chiefs to the legislative spectacle.
The State of the Union still serves a useful purpose. Not everyone eats and breathes politics 24/7. (God bless those people.) And once a year, we get a statement of a president's agenda and priorities that can add much needed focus.
In 2003, President George W. Bush did just that, laying out his emergency plan for AIDS relief (PEPFAR) which went on to be one of his greatest achievements, saving millions of lives.
Should we expect something similar from President Donald Trump on Tuesday, as he gives his first formal State of the Union address?
The short answer is, well, yes. He will likely perform well, list his priorities and may even offer some new wrinkles to the Republican legislative agenda. He will participate in the pomp and circumstance and it will feel as normal as having Donald Trump as president can feel.
But the State of the Union is not strong. It's shaky and abnormal, even with a solid economy and the notable bits of progress that have been made elsewhere.
That's because while he may give a normal-sounding speech, President Donald Trump has been anything but normal. His first year in office has been a glass half full, glass half full of rusty nails kinda year. His lack of moral leadership has perhaps been worse than expected. His propensity to say the wrong things and embrace the wrong people to supposedly appease his base has been tough to watch, like when he found the good in those marching with tiki torches in Charlottesville, VA.
In pursuit of delegitimizing the justice apparatus investigating his campaign, he has undermined the FBI, the DOJ, the intelligence community and congressional oversight. His use of Twitter captures the nation's attention in the worst of ways and divides us before Fox and Friends gets to their third commercial break.
There will be an impulse to declare that Trump was "presidential" after his State of the Union speech occurs on Tuesday night. But we simply can't ignore this record, even if it is obscured by political pageantry.
I say this as a Trump skeptic, yes. But one who is comfortable acknowledging that the president has had legislative success. Tax reform, while more cut and less reform than originally touted and ignoring the national debt at our collective peril, was ultimately a good thing. Vast deregulation has been welcomed by investors, employers and consumers.
And President Trump did roll back Obamacare's individual mandate, although probably many months after another Republican would have and without any other necessary dismantling, reform or restructuring of the failing law. The mandate alone was like hitting a bunt off a tee stand with a Republican controlled House and Senate. But, hey, we got on first base!
And of course, there's Gorsuch! Republicans have nominated and confirmed jurists that were the meal ticket for most squeamish Trump voters.
Trump will assuredly take a victory lap for all this on Tuesday. But it's not a lap he deserves. Sure, he made noises and fired off tweets. But he spent the year mostly absent and indifferent to the legislative process. He didn't lay out an agenda, barnstorm, build a coalition and negotiate any of his few legislative victories.
That's not necessarily a knock. Maybe his way of staying an arm's reach from governing is better. But if a bow is to be taken from the House floor, it should be by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker Paul Ryan, who deserve the lion's share of the credit for any legislative success of the past year.
If anything, Trump has caused more damage than he has provided help to the party he leads.
The president may clear the low bar set for him by successfully reading the words on the teleprompter on Tuesday. But whatever he says, it won't negate that it's been Congress that's done the heavy lifting. And it certainly shouldn't be enough for us to overlook the damage he causes to the institutions he is charged with leading and protecting.
A little normal is fine. A little normal is good. Time honored institutions like the State of the Union should be welcome these days, even if we crave less from Washington. But it doesn't erase that for the rest of the year, we are living far from normal.
