U.N. Admits Role In Cholera Epidemic In Haiti
The New York Times, Aug. 18, 2016
By Jonathan M. Katz
For the first time since a cholera epidemic believed to be imported by United Nations peacekeepers began killing thousands of Haitians nearly six years ago, the office of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has acknowledged that the United Nations played a role in the initial outbreak and that a “significant new set of U.N. actions” will be needed to respond to the crisis. The deputy spokesman for the secretary general, Farhan Haq, said in an email this week that “over the past year, the U.N. has become convinced that it needs to do much more regarding its own involvement in the initial outbreak and the suffering of those affected by cholera.” He added that a “new response will be presented publicly within the next two months, once it has been fully elaborated, agreed with the Haitian authorities and discussed with member states.” The statement comes on the heels of a confidential report sent to Mr. Ban by a longtime United Nations adviser. Written by Philip Alston, a New York University law professor who serves as one of a few dozen experts, known as special rapporteurs, who advise the organization on human rights issues, the draft language stated plainly that the epidemic “would not have broken out but for the actions of the United Nations.”

It's not over for the other swimmers who were held up:
Two U.S. swimmers were pulled from their flight out of Rio and
detained for police questioning, in connection with a controversial
claim that they and teammates James Feigen and Ryan Lochte were robbed
at gunpoint during the Olympic Games, PEOPLE has confirmed. Gunnar Bentz
and Jack Conger were detained, but later released, after boarding their
Wednesday night flight. According to Yahoo Sports, they had cleared
customs before being detained.
Patrick Sandusky, United States Olympic Committee spokesperson said
in a statement obtained by PEOPLE: "Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were
detained Wednesday night shortly before their flight was scheduled to
depart from Rio. They were released by local authorities with the
understanding that they would continue their discussions about the
incident on Thursday."
I'm not getting why this was a "controversial" claim - has there not been other reports of crime where the victims were Olympic athletes and games attendees? The guys were drunk, and it happened ~ 4am, so some details may be fuzzy. Am I missing something?

I wonder if my own son will 'get it' this election. He's been in tech a long time and will be signing up for a mortgage soon. He has a damn sight better chance of remaining employed under trump than under an obama third term.
Instead he thinks he's some sort of nuanced libertarian.

The internet will be irrecoverable, once it's been given away for absolutely no technical reason and with no benefit to the US citizens that were its primary funders during development.

Heh. Russki troops training on the Uke border.
Very clever. The Ukes will have to deploy their best forces to the area, just in case. Ivan will gain valuable intel just from that, and this will weaken the Ukes in Donetsk and other eastern regions.
Add to this the stress it will place on the Uke forces - full of sullen conscripts and ill-trained paramilitaries - and it's a brilliant move to degrade Uke capacity without firing a shot.

It has always been the official policy of the US military to neither confirm not deny the presence of nuclear weapons anywhere at any time. So what has changed?

Trump ought to get out in front of this and make it a campaign issue and suck the life out of the libertarian party.

With a lodge, you'd learn a lot about one area, but we really liked the cruise and had been planning on doing it again.

Cruises have a couple of benefits to staying in hotels. If you have the luxury of living near the port of departure, you don't have to worry about air travel (which generally sucks, and increases the total cost of the trip). Cruise ships always will have something for you to do, so you never have to worry about being bored, and the excursions (which will have additional costs) are usually pretty good. I've always had great experiences with the food on the cruise ship as well, which means you don't have to worry about spending money figuring out where to eat.
That being said, if you really just want to go out and explore the country, you can't really do that on a cruise because you have to be back on the ship before they leave the port.

What an idiot. That comparison defies any sense of reality. There is abundant proof, real live evidence, that Donald Trump is pro-woman (however it would be defined in Steinem's pinheaded thinking). Especially in a business sense, it's patently obvious. He's not anti-woman anything, unless you could Megyn Kelly's blood shooting from her wherever. But it's a tired, tried and true leftist tactic, so...

"Mark my words, it's about authentication. When the global body requires authentication, what rights will American citizens have to resist? Absolutely none.
Think you're going to just turn your computer on and surf around? Not without authenticating who you are. Name and official authentic number, comrade.
Trump ought to get out in front of this and make it a campaign issue and suck the life out of the libertarian party.

Slippery Slope - Italian Islamic leader wants legal recognition of polygamy
The founder of Italy’s main Islamic organization says that since the country now recognizes civil unions for same-sex couples, there’s no reason that polygamous relationships shouldn’t also be afforded legal protection.
Only months after Italy approved civil unions for lesbians and gays, a leader of the country’s Islamic community is using the move to argue for the civil recognition of polygamy. He also claimed that Pope Francis’ silence regarding his suggestion means that the pontiff has perhaps understood that it’s a “simple civil right” and a matter of equality.
Hamza Piccardo is founder of the Union of Islamic Communities in Italy, an umbrella organization which represents most of Italy’s Muslim communities. Recently, Piccardo shared a picture of the mayor of Milan with a gay couple after celebrating their union on Facebook.
Piccardo accompanied the picture with the following message:
“If it’s only a matter of civil rights, then polygamy is a civil right.”

Either 4 US athletes conspired to make up a story for the obvious following reasons...

or third world police and criminal justice systems are corrupt and tyrannical.
Most likely it was the actual police who robbed them in the first place - since they are used to being able to do that sort of thing without consequence (see Federales, Mexico for an example)

A farmer and 16 cows have been killed by gas fumes from a manure holding tank in WI. I suspect it was Hydrogen Sulfide that we were discussing several days ago. That gas is highly toxic and the normal "rotten egg" smell that accompanies it was probably overridden by the cow manure smell so the farmer would not recognize it. This emphasizes the need for being careful. If you ever open something that has been closed up for a while and get that rotten egg smell you need to either close it back up or evacuate immediately. This stuff will kill you dead dead dead.

It just seemed too perfect....robbed, gun to the head, fake police posing as the bad guys, taxi involved, almost as if every checkbox on the checklist of "how to get robbed in Rio" was checked off.....my first reaction was, this sounds like an Oberlin College student finding a noose hanging in her dorm room type of story.

There's an interesting interview on YouTube with Yaron Svoray, an ex-Israeli soldier who somehow infiltrated the neo-Nazi movement in Germany and broke it up.
The one question I have for him is, and what about the overt invasion from Islamo-Nazis taking over Germany and the entire continent???

David Byrne was in town, but couldn't get tix because I wasn't a Rockefeller. (I was a hotel doorman - a great gig, btw.)
Anyway, on my 3 a.m. break, I go to get my usual cup of coffee and pack of smokes at the convenience store.
There in front of me in line was David Byrne, with bottled water and a pack of Marlboros. I tell the clerk it's on me, amd he rings up my stuff at the same time.
Pause, and Byrne says, 'Thanks. But are you sure?'
'Yes, I'm sure. Hell, I still owe you for The Naive Melody.'
Pause, a smile, and a nod exchanged.

I used to have an elderly black couple who bought the house behind me one street over. They came down from NY after the husband retired. They were actually a nice couple, although they probably did vote Democrat. I never talked to them about politics. They appeared to be also very religious. Unfortunately the husband died a few months ago and the lady died just a few weeks ago. It is truly sad because I enjoyed talking to that lady.

I knew a guy from MA who was a regular poster at a site I frequented years ago who was murdered in Brazil by a "cop". His name was Joe Martini. John Kerry vowed to get to the bottom of it. The "cop", actually some sort of "reserve officer" (which I gather is a title given to anyone with connections to the Police), was starting a fight outside a club, Joe separated a couple people fighting and the Brazilian pulled out a badge and a gun. Joe asked "What are you gonna do, shoot me?" and he was shot multiple times in the chest, died in the street. Needless to say, the "cop" got off scot-free.

How hard is it to make DDT? If it is too difficult for home chemists, can MS-13 or the Mexican drug cartels make it and smuggle it over the border?

Yeah, I think it's an O-4 officer who carries it, and the president carries a card with codes (which Slick lost for months and didn't tell anyone).
It kinda makes sense for the VP to have some kind of system in case the government is decapitated.

IMO, this is more about hiding how the gov't money was used. Or misused.
We've seen this before in other companies whose sole existence is predicated on 0 interest gov't guaranteed loans.
Gov't guaranteed loans at this level is pretty much an invitation to steal as long as Dims get their kickback.
But, who knows?
As the GOPe Congress is handing out money without oversight.
If only they had some kind of powers of oversight or perhaps controlled the pursestrings this wouldn't happen....naw, that's just crazy talk.

RWC, do you drive into DC every day?
If so, you have my deepest sympathies
I was stuck in the NCR for 12 years. As soon as the boys were all done with high school, I sold out and moved to Ohio. So much better.

179 All the statement did was reassure us that our
nuclear weapons are secure. There was no confirmation of their presence
in Turkey.
It was carefully written.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at August 18, 2016 09:29 AM (Zu3d9)
Are you saying that news report is lying? Because in it she mentions Turkey specifically.
Direct quote from the report:
We do have nuclear weapons and those nuclear weapons are safe and
secure, and we are very confident in that, US Air Force Secretary
Deborah Lee James said Wednesday, answering questions at the Foreign
Press Club in New York City, according to Sputnik.
James was
reinforcing her remarks from last Wednesday, when she tried to reassure
reporters that tensions between Washington and Ankara will not affect
the nuclear bombs.

Cruise. Hands down, unless you are just going to fish or hunt or something....
I want hiking, four-wheeling, kayaking, and I am open to an air tour, especially one of those helicopter tours where you can picnic on a glacier.

Joel Klein helpfully explains at Time that hatey-hate trolling is ruining the internet. Not surprisingly it's mostly far right extremist ruining the lives of well intention liberals working for the public good. Liberals do troll once in a while but only do it to people that really deserve it. Like hatey-hater conservatives so it is kind of OK.

Eh, this is just a wild guess here.
IMO, this is more about hiding how the gov't money was used. Or misused.
We've seen this before in other companies whose sole existence is predicated on 0 interest gov't guaranteed loans.
Gov't guaranteed loans at this level is pretty much an invitation to steal as long as Dims get their kickback.
But, who knows?
As the GOPe Congress is handing out money without oversight.
If only they had some kind of powers of oversight or perhaps
controlled the pursestrings this wouldn't happen....naw, that's just

I got rear-ended on a slick road by some 20-something this morning. (Yeah, I know, start with the "rear-ended" jokes after you read.) She was tailgating me and going too fast around a blind curve and couldn't stop in time when I braked for another accident. (And claimed that it was my fault when we pulled over to exchange information but I guess that's to be expected.)
The interesting thing is that she had no pen, no paper, no means at all to take down my information, she just took a picture of my insurance card. The editor in me was struck by that: we are a post-writing society.

Re: the Solar City article:
Anybody else perturbed by the use of the word "guidance"?
"...because it changed its guidance for solar panels installed this year."
I think they are using it in the sense of 'expectations' or 'projections', but it is repeated several times throughout the article. Is that how financial types speak? Does it have a common usage in that sense that I'm not aware of? Or is it just more sloppy degradation of the language?

Be afraid! Even after weeks of missteps, polls suggest that more than a third of American voters still support Donald Trump. If Trump wins, expect to find him decorating the Oval Office with Hillary Clinton's taxidermied head and expect to find me breaking rocks in a Trumpian labor and re-education camp along with all the rest of America's journalists, its intellectuals, non-Christians, immigrants and people of color.

Once we got them to leave the trackers on the desk where they were quiet, it was actually a lot of fun. The kids ran errands around the shop, stuck shipping labels on boxes and had a grand old time. Especially in the afternoon when we sat them down in front of our USB-connected microscope that we use to check solder joints on circuit boards. Looked at dollar bills, quarters, circuit board cleaning brushes (ewwwww) and dead crickets that we found in the warehouse.

Freakin' Romania? Is that even a place? We have some sort of Defense infrastructure there?
_______________________________
Vlad the Impaler, defender of Christianity from the Ottoman muslims, had a great defense infrastructure.
In 1462, he impaled his enemies -- approximately 20,000 -- and when Mehmed II saw this, he promptly turned around and went home to Constantinople.
The 20,000 weren't entirely dead. Vlad cleverly figured out how to impale a person from the rectum to the neck without killing the victim and causing them to bleed to death. Many of the 20,000 were still alive for days and crying for death.
The Romanians loved Vlad.

It sounds like they did the grunge work of working out the calculations given by the engineers. Not a slacker job and something that was important. But they weren't the brains behind the space program.

Actually, it's Kevin Costner. I don't dislike the guy because while he seems liberal he does appear to like the USA. But, the movie is based on a book and I have a feeling the book is exaggerated.

If it was the real police who did it then that makes complete sense;
since they know better than to take anything that can be traced back to
them.

Expensive watches are: 1. Rare. 2.Usually Serial Numbered. The problem with taking them is the fence - usually a pawn shop.

On the Ivanka thing, when she was just another very rich Manhattanite, registered Democrat, kinda pals with Chelz, everyone was more than happen to take her money. They would have given her the cuff just to get it seen by other buyers, but, her Dad has had the nerve to say true non-PC things in public, so the knives come out.

291 262 Be afraid! Even after weeks of missteps, polls suggest that more than a third of American voters still support Donald Trump. If Trump wins, expect to find him decorating the Oval Office with Hillary Clinton's taxidermied head and expect to find me breaking rocks in a Trumpian labor and re-education camp along with all the rest of America's journalists, its intellectuals, non-Christians, immigrants and people of color. "
Ya know, you get your hopes up so much when you read things like this but do the pols ever come through? Nah! Why, I remember all the hippies were still doing drum circles in Lafayette Park after Ronnie Raygun got elected and nobody took them away to the camps. Jeez, even he didn't do the oppress and silence enemies thing very well.
The Commies are so much better at that sort of thing than we are...

It looks like those "Lady Grey" girls violated their own privacy policy.
I think Ivanka's lawyers will not take kindly to a store that promised not to reveal customer information posting about her.
Time for a good, old fashion legal ass fucking.

324 Oooh If heathen Bostonians worship anything it's the Red Sox. May he beat Liewatha! Doing the work of defeating socialists that Mike Ditka refused to do.

Red skin vs. Red Sox.
Liberal Red Sox fan ponders voting against socialist female of Crab Salad tribe. He can't do it. Then he imagines voting against The Bloody Sock pitcher - he's probably watched that game 100 times on You Tube. He can't do it. He imagines himself choosing standing in the voting booth choosing one or the other.
Head explodes and skull filling, which is composed of duck fluff, scraps of old Boston Globe OpEds , and baked beans, spatters the walls.

I'm sure it's the chemo; but I don't feel good about the entire Democrat kleptocracy not having been perp-walked and given orange jumpsuits after the recent email scandals...
