"According to professor Robert J. Havighurst, ‷It seems probable that [the USA] discovers and develops no more than perhaps half of its potential intellectual talent. ‴ Information in this field changes rapidly, but at this writing only 23 states have legislation requiring special programs for gifted children. Another 20 states have legal provisions funding, but no requirement. According to estimates by the National Association for Gifted Children, approximately 35% of those identified areactually in some sort of program, but _A Nation at Risk_ [1983] claimed that less than half of our smart kids are even identified. The portion of the identified gifted who are in effective programs is not known." --- Marylou Kelly Streznewski 1999 _Gifted GrownUps: The Mixed Blessings of ExtraOrdinary Potential_ pg92

Mike Lee: no attorney-general nominee should be confirmed who supports Obummer amnesty (by whatever name or euphemism) for illegal aliens
"'By announcing his plans to move forward on executive amnesty, the president is signaling to the country that the laws don't matter and the voices of the American people don't matter. But I hope that those things do matter to our next chief law enforcement officer.', Lee said. 'The American people deserve an attorney-general who is committed to our Constitution and will faithfully follow and enforce the law. I don't see how someone who shares those values could also support executive amnesty that ignores our laws and the democratic process the president must use if he wants to change them. This issue will be one of the leading factors in determining my support for the nominee, so I hope he or she is prepared to answer questions on this topic.'"

IRS dragging heels on FOIA requests, 217 left unfulfilled in 2013, 118 at the end of 2012
"The inspector general found that, in seven of the 62 cases it looked at, the IRS potentially infringed on taxpayer rights by either withholding information or not looking hard enough for it. Those findings suggest that the IRS wrongly withheld information in around 336 of the 2,973 freedom of information requests it closed in fiscal 2013."

the car is the greatest invention of mankind
"I LOVE CARS. And I include trucks there, too, of course. I LOVE CARS!!!! The car is the greatest invention of mankind. The car is what makes all of the difference in life. Before the car, man was pretty much just an insect. He burrowed and crept along the ground. He moved very slowly. He was subject to the cold and the heat and the rain and the snow and the sleet. He was pitiful..."
This is exactly why the left doesn't want "little people" to own and drive cars and trucks and aircraft. They don't like privacy. They don't like independence. They don't like other people's ability to go from where they are to where they want to be without a by-your-leave from some government thugs, and without them being tracked very closely...jgo

"About 80% of modern Jews have Ashkenazi ancestry... Only 46% to 50% of the DNA in the 128 samples originated with the group of people who were also the ancestors of the Flemish people in the study. Those ancient people split off from the ancestors of today's Middle Easterners more than 20K years ago, with a founding group of about 3,500 to 3,900 people, according to the study. The rest of the Ashkenazi genome comes from the Middle East, the researchers reported. This founding group 'fused' with the European founding group to create a population of 250 to 420 individuals. These people lived 25 to 32 generations ago, and their descendants grew at a rate of 16% to 53% per generation, the researchers calculated..."

evil "applicant tracking systems"/"candidate management systems"
"1... federal compliance requirements... Screening questions that many of them ask will [make a feeble, twisted, perverse attempt to] vet whether some candidates are...capable of performing a job... 'If someone needs to be able to lift 50 pounds in a warehouse, for example, recruiters will use that as a screening question so they can show that a candidate wasn't selected because they couldn't meet the requirements of the job.', Vitale explained. 'Screening questions are used to get the basics early in the process. Candidates are still in the ATS even if they don't meet the requirements -- it's not like they get deleted.'"
Translation: "Federal compliance requirements" are a draconian, bureaucratic sham, like "legal ethics", in that they're designed with loop-holes; if you know the dance, you can sail through wreaking havoc in your path with immunity. As a matter of fact, these applicant management systems greatly facilitate illegal discrimination on the basis of race, sex, nationality, and age. If you don't know the dance, you can be clobbered even if you're totally innocent of any malfeasance. In light of the on-going talent glut, and the STEM talent glut in particular, they're abused to quickly find pretexts to reject as many candidates as possible, regardless of each applicant's ability and desire to do the job. As you say, the rejected applicants' data are kept in the black-hole, never to be seen by a conscientious hiring manager.
"2... candidates should focus on using the 'right' key-words -- and using them 'appropriately'... [use specifice brand-names and] use iterations of those names within your resume... every recruiter may use different language to search for a skill"
Translation: Don't be forthright. Don't use generic terms the tracking system isn't set up to handle. Don't use brand-names other than the few the management system is programmed to handle. Don't try to shift from one niche in the field to another, because the new niche "recruiters" don't know the brands and key-words from the old niche, even when those brands, those tools, accomplish exactly the same things, in nearly the same way and knowledge of one can allow you to quickly and easily shift to the other.
"3... Applicant tracking systems often feature parsing technology that divides resumes into different fields -- such as skills, education, and experience -- to make them easier to search... If you're a Java [or Perl, or C, or C++, or R, or Ruby, or Objective-C, or Swift, or Fortran, or Python] expert, you want the system to find that skill."
Response: These parsers don't work very well, even if you clearly use such headings and groupings in your resume. They can't tell the Kronos operating system from Kronos, Inc., the work-time tracking systems. In come cases, they have trouble telling a C software engineer from a nurse, or an up-and-coming candidate to be head of neuro-surgery; they have trouble telling an Objective-C software developer from a Management by Objectives B-school bozo. As a matter of fact, the parsers tend to even shred key-terms, making what goes into the data-base indecipherable. The web forms often don't include many of the key-words you need to enter. Yes, you want the system, the "recruiter" and the hiring manager to see that you are highly-skilled, but these candidate mangling systems prevent that from happening.
"4. Creativity is OK... 'You can be creative and use graphics in your resumé and -- in most cases -- not have to worry about whether your file is a doc, jpeg, or tiff...'"
Response: In your dreams! Many of them still can't handle ASCII plain-text, get confused over common line-ending variations, and more stumble over Unicode. Hardly any can handle a straight-forward skills table.

ebola, enterovirus: more blood on Obummer's hands
"Liberia is one of the hotspots in a large out-break of Ebola in West Africa, with 3,458 cases and 1,830 deaths as of September 23, according to the World Health Organization. Other countries affected include Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. In total, more than 3,000 people have died in those countries from Ebola, and more than 6,500 have contracted the disease, according to reporting by CNN... Enterovirus D68 is not uncommon in Central America, but has suddenly been sending children in the United States to the hospital with severe respiratory illnesses. It seems to be most affecting children with a history of asthma or breathing problems. As of Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDCP] had confirmed 500 people in 42 states have respiratory illnesses caused by enterovirus D68. Ebola. Chikungunya. Dengue. Norovirus. Hantavirus. Swine flu. Varicella. Variola..."

non-leftists' campaigns are vigorous, neo-cons' and RINOs' campaigns are lagging
"the reason Republican candidates who are lagging in races they should be winning are behind [is] because conservatives are not going to support them if they favor granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, weakening our national security and won't use the power the Constitution grants congress to hold [Obummer] and the Democrats accountable for their lies, lawlessness and corruption. Republican senate candidates, who are surging right now, such as Scott Brown in New Hampshire, are doing so because they are campaigning on conservative principles. Republican senate candidates who are lagging a month out from the election, such as Thom Tillis in North Carolina and Pat Roberts in Kansas, should take chairman Priebus' speech as their cue to start campaigning as [non-leftists and then deliver on that campaign when they get to [DC]."

state laws in violation of 2nd amendment continue to be struck down by courtss
"...More interested in obtaining illegal voters, Democrats have betrayed those who actually respect our laws and American values. Further, many states maintain strict laws that forbid legal immigrants from obtaining firearms. The same Democrats who so often push for in-state tuition for illegals also frequently push for gun laws that keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding immigrants who remain in the country legally. Earlier this month, a federal judge overruled Hawaii's law that restricts legal immigrants from owning firearms. Judge J. Michael Seabright ruled that Australian citizen and permanent resident Steve Fotoudis of Honolulu had the right to buy and own firearms. Fotoudis was a competitive shooter in Australia and has extensive training and knowledge in the safe use of firearms; however, state law prohibited the Australian native from purchasing such weapons legally here... while the [Obummer regime] crusades for some alleged, fictitious 'right' of illegal immigrants to stay and enjoy the opportunities of the U.S.A. as a reward for having broken the law, many states remain unwilling to grant access to constitutional rights to those who have immigrated to the U.S.A. through legal means..."

He went on to become one of al Qaeda's most effective operatives.

If non-leftists win these mid-term elections, we might possibly stop the leftists, carry out more law-suits against their corruptions, impeach them, repeal ObummerDoesnt'Care, cut over-spending, balance the federal government budget, reform visa and immigration laws and enforce them for a change, reduce draconian regulations. The good news is that our friends at Tea Party Patriots are already at work in key states.

revoking citizenship of terrorists and traitors is assuredly the right thing to do
"Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1481, deems that an individual loses his citizenship if he takes an oath or makes an affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof, after having attained the age of 18 years; or enters or serves in the armed forces of a foreign state if such armed forces are engaged in hostilities against the United States. ISIS fighters take an oath not only to the 'caliphate' they are joining, but a personal oath of loyalty to Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Al Badry, known as Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the self-styled 'imam' and 'caliph' who is head of ISIS, and who has made no secret of his ambitions to ultimately conquer not only the Levant but also the West. Nor is there any doubt that ISIS is engaged in hostilities against the United States of America..."

"Mark Zuckerberg is funding his anti-American escapades in Mexico, his attack on the middle-class through demands for more visas for foreign workers, and his pro-illegal alien and employer amnesty campaign with funds generated by exploiting FB users. According to the manifesto of a new social network, Ello, today's social media magnates are buying and selling people through the data that they collect on users and then sell to advertisers. Ello [which appears to be based in Colombia] believes that 'collecting and selling your personal data, reading your posts to your friends, and mapping your social connections for profit is both creepy and unethical' since, under the guise of offering a 'free' service, users pay a high price in intrusive advertising and lack of privacy..."

low-key conference on H-1B and related hot issues
B. Lindsay Lowell's slides (pdf)
Bill Kerr's paper (pdf)
"...I've praised the work of Bill and his co-athors before; I consider them to be among the very best among researchers who work in this topic. Nevertheless, I often respectfully disagree with their conclusions on methodological groups (even when their conclusions jibe with my own!), and that is the case here as well. In particular, I of course disagree with Bill's statement in his Conclusions section, 'Immigrants are of deep importance to U.S. innovation. This is most evident in terms of their sheer quantity for STEM work in the United States, and the disproportionate number of super-stars who are immigrants speak to this.' I pointed out in my web log that in computer science (my field and the one that is dominant among H-1Bs), that the former foreign students from U.S. universities -- the group claimed by the industry to be the most important one for innovation -- are actually LESS innovative than comparable U.S. natives, in terms of patenting. In my EPI paper, I show this for other measures as well, finding that the foreign student numbers are less than or at most equal to those of the Americans. In particular, my paper includes material related to Bill's point about 'super-stars'. His word 'disproportionate' of course depends on what one takes for one's numerator and denominator. In my paper's section titled 'Dissertation Awards Among Foreign and U.S. [Computer Science] Students', I compare the foreign students' share of awards to their percentage in the general CS PhD population, and find that 'During the period 1985–2009, 29 dissertation awards were given to students at North American universities (28 in the United States, one in Canada). Of these, 14 went to foreign students. This fraction, 0.48, has a margin of error of 0.19, and is not statistically different from the figures of 0.51 and 0.48 stated above for the proportion for former foreign students among CS PhDs.' There are various 'super-star incidence rates' papers out there in the literature, and I urge anyone who reads them (including mine) to look carefully at how the numerator and denominator are defined, and to question whether they are meaningful. Bill's 'sheer quantity' phrase also demands comment. I've often pointed to the 1989 internal NSF report that advocated bringing in a large number of foreign STEM students in order to hold down PhD salaries. The report forecast, correctly, that the stagnant salaries would then drive American students away from doctoral work. This is crucial to keep in mind when considering the 'sheer quantity' of immigrant STEM researchers. I should add, once again, that I have always strongly supported bringing 'the best and the brightest' from around the world. But a policy that drives our own best and brightest away from STEM research is counter-productive, to say the least."

Then go for the low-hanging fruit enjoying wide bipartisan support, such as the Keystone XL pipe-line and natural gas exports, most especially to Eastern Europe.

Every lawyer knows that honest and truthful witnesses may contradict themselves, particularly on questions concerning their own and other's motives and states of mind, without thereby forfeiting credibility... Finally, every lawyer knows that in a big and complicated case there is always, at the end of it all, a residue of improbable, inexplicable fact.

the fantastic world of Barack Hussein Obummer
"[Obummer] entered office on 2009 January 20 -- over 4 months after the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac [and HUD] that precipitated a general financial melt-down. One would not expect [Obummer] to fault past [leftist] congressional intervention in the financial sector that in large part forced the issuance of sub-prime risky mortgages, much less the earlier deregulation of the financial industry under Bill Clinton that helped fueled the rampant speculation. The videos of the sad congressional banter about supposedly 'insensitive' questioning of the duplicitous and corrupt Fannie head Franklin Raines, or the self-important bluster of former representative Barney Frank [and Maxine Waters and Chris Dodd], make a good 10-minute tutorial on the melt-down -- namely how Wall Street sharks, hand-in-glove with [leftist] congressional operatives and Clinton appointees, offered federally 'guaranteed' mortgages to those who had no ability to pay them back, fueling a phony real estate boom and over-valued stock market. [Obummer] might at least admit that when he entered office the panic had largely passed. The tools needed to deal with it that he embraced had months earlier been implemented by someone else. Indeed, [Obummer] was president for just a few months before the recession that began in 2007 December ended in 2009 June [according to NBER] -- well before the effect of any of the policies, good or bad, could have taken effect. Our current economic mess -- the worst post-recession recovery since World War 2, more people out of work than when [Obummer] took office, a steady decline in real family income, massive new debt -- is largely a result of his own policies of 5 consecutive $1T deficits, the [beginning of the ObummerDoesn'tCare] catastrophe, new burdensome and capricious regulations, near-zero interest rates, and the anti-business psychological climate brought on by constant hectoring of the 'you did not build that' and 'at a certain point you've made enough money' sort..."

"Quarantine had been a regular measure for preventing disease as early as the biblical lepers, but it was most widely used beginning with the bubonic plague in 14th-century Venice. Ships were forced to spend weeks anchored outside of a city until the crew showed no signs of disease among them. Vessels and their cargo were initially intended to spend 30 days -- trentina -- in the harbor, but that later changed to 40 days -- quarantina. Quarantines continued to rule maritime travel well into the 19th century, finding even greater cause with the trafficking of human cargo. European ships often spent weeks moored off the coast of Africa before crossing the Atlantic. Fever was so prevalent among the crews that one island, Sao Tome [St. Thomas], was known as the Dutchman's grave-yard." --- Molly Caldwell Crosby 2006 _The American Plague: The Untold Story of Yellow Fever, the Epidemic that Shaped Our History_ pg40

immigrant super-stars
"I should remind readers that I have always strongly supported facilitating the immigration of the super-stars (including those with outstanding promise). But Bill's word 'disproportionate' is provocative. While I've shown in various ways that most H-1Bs, especially those who first come to the U.S.A. as foreign students (the industry's prized group, according to the lobbyists), are not 'the best and the brightest', I haven't done much specifically on rates of super-stardom. What I'll do here is review my work in that regard for computer science (CS), and then follow with some new data... Accordingly, I've now done something similar to my CS dissertation analysis, this time turning the field of Statistics. That was my original research area -- I was one of the founding members of the [U of California at Davis] Department of Statistics -- and much of my CS work has been statistical in nature. So I know what Statistics researchers do, who is outstanding in the field, and so on... The Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) Presidents' Award...I limited my analysis to those who earned their PhDs in the U.S.A., again reflecting the industry lobbyists' emphasis on the foreign grad students at U.S. universities. The results were that foreigners got 33% of the awards, but form 50% of the PhDs granted (the latter number from the NSCG data). IOW, in the Stat field, foreigners receive a disproportionately SMALL number of awards."

Horizon Science Academy & Concept Schools abuse visas to ship in Guelen teachers from Turkey
"Concept Schools, founded by followers of a Turkish Islamic cleric secluded in the Poconos [Fethuallah Guelen], already is under federal and state scrutiny for possible irregularities in teacher licensing, testing and technology contracts. An Enquirer investigation has found that Chicago-based Concept Schools, which runs Horizon and 17 other charter schools in Ohio, annually imports dozens of foreign teachers in numbers that far surpass any other school system in the state. At least 474 foreign teachers, again mostly from Turkey, have arrived at Concept's Ohio schools between 2005 and 2013. The schools are collecting about $45M in state funds annually to educate 6,600 children in kindergarten through high school... Ohio teachers, meanwhile, say plenty of qualified teachers are available for jobs being filled by the foreigners, especially since about 40K are still without teaching jobs because of the recession. Concept officials defend the practice. They say it's the only way to find 'qualified' [wink wink nudge nudge] math and science instructors... Academically, Concept students perform no better or worse than children at the nearly 300 other charter schools in Ohio. 10 of the Ohio Concept schools -- more than half -- received Ds on the state's most recent performance index, a measure of how many students passed key achievement tests. Horizon Science Academy was one of the schools getting a D... In Ohio, at least 80 other public districts or private schools used H-1B visas between 2005 and 2013, including Cincinnati Public Schools and systems in Columbus, Akron and Cleveland. Those districts each use about 1 or 2 immigrant teachers a year, primarily to teach language skills. [Cincinnati Public Schools] hired 1 teacher using an H-1B visa in 2007. 'Concept may or may not be bending any rules, but the rules were written poorly in the first place.', said Ron Hira, an immigration policy critic and professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. He shared with The Enquirer federal H-1B data he obtained from the Immigration Department through an open records request. 'It seems clear from the data that these schools are favoring H-1B workers from a single source country, Turkey.', Hira said. 'American workers, as well as foreign workers from other countries, did not have a legitimate shot at getting these jobs.' Most of the Turkish teachers are assigned to high schools or technology classes; Americans primarily staff the elementary grades, Ucan said... unlicensed teachers were common at their schools... several teachers from Turkey entered the classroom barely able to speak English, and she was told not to ask questions about it..."

"The decomposition of the [Obummer] presidency has created what [Obummer] might call a 'teachable moment'. This is, needless to say, a loathsome phrase, reeking as it does of liberal sanctimoniousness and professorial condescension. Still, who can resist appropriating it, if only for this one occasion? Because it is, really, a moment. It's a moment when minds can be opened to conservative truths, ears can be induced to hear conservative insights, eyes can be fitted with contact lenses so as better to see conservative arguments. Are the young struck by the dashed hopes of [ObummerDoesn'tCare]? Give them a copy of Friedrich Hayek's _The Fatal Conceit_. They can't believe the Secret Service farce? Introduce them to James Q. Wilson on bureaucracy. They're befuddled by the exploitation of an unfortunate incident in Ferguson? Have them read Edward C. Banfield's _The Unheavenly City_ (especially the chapter he titled 'Rioting Mainly for Fun and Profit'). [Leftism's] domestic policies aren't working quite the way they were supposed to?

"The screen was developed over the last 3 years with Qualcomm subsidiary Pixtronix... LCD screens are built on a bright, white back-light that sits at the rear of the screen. Each pixel is divided into red, green and blue sub-pixels with color filters. Current applied to the liquid crystal in front of each of those filters allows or blocks transmission of light of that color. In a MEMS screen, there are no red, green or blue sub-pixels. Instead, a tiny electro-mechanical shutter allows or blocks light transmission through each pixel. Color is provided by the back-light, which cycles rapidly through red, green and blue. The shutters are synchronized to the backlight, moving open and shut in as little as 100 microseconds to let through light of the appropriate color..."

By deciding not to intervene in the fight it started last year, (in a divisive 5-4 ruling that justice Antonin Scalia chastised for its 'jaw-dropping assertion of judicial supremacy') the Supremes gave the green-light to a full-blown constitutional crisis, the likes of which threatens to tear the GOP apart at the seams...

The light burns a 3-D image into the liquid resin, layer-by-layer, which hardens when hit by the UV light. The excess resin is then removed, leaving the object... a liquid suspension of nano-particles -- ceramics, polymers and metals -- that are charged so that they assemble and stick to a pattern on a surface material wherever light comes in contact with the surface.

"Whatever the reason, or combination of reasons, that led to [president Obummer's] foreign policy disasters around the world -- with the crowning disaster of all, a nuclear Iran, looming on the horizon -- it cannot be a simple lack of knowledge or experience. Various former members of the [Obummer regime] are telling the same story, of information and advice from knowledgeable and experienced officials being ignored by this vain and head-strong man... It may be time to consider reorganizing the institutions of government, so that high officials who try to reassure the public about medical crises are not officials who serve 'at the pleasure of the president'.

The testing started after genetically modified soft white spring wheat was discovered in a 100-acre Oregon farm field where none had ever been intentionally planted... The Huntley facility, known as the SARC, was 1 of 2 Montana sites for USDA-approved testing of Roundup-Ready wheat from 2000 through 2003. The other Montana site was west of Bozeman.

Christian PLO exec says mere easier access by Jews to the Temple Mount would be a "loud insult" to Muslims
"Hanan Ashrawi, the PLO executive committee member, is herself a Christian. 'They are violating the sanctity of religious sites without consequences, which completely terminates possibilities for peace and will ultimately drag the whole region into disastrous clashes.', Ashrawi said in a statement Tuesday... Ten of the 11 entrances to the Temple Mount are dedicated for Muslim use, while non-Muslim visitors, including Jews, may only enter through a single entrance known as the Mughrabi Gate. Palestinian protesters regularly shout insults and intimidating slogans and have been documented spitting and throwing objects at Jews who visit the site. A Hamas operative earlier this year told Israeli interrogators that Hamas pays monthly salaries as high as $1,440 to Arab protesters to sit near the tourist entrance and harass and throw stones at visiting Jews... The Temple Mount is the site where both Jewish temples once stood. It is also the third-holiest site in Islam and is home to the Al-Aqsa mosque. Under Israeli police regulations, non-Muslims are not permitted to publicly pray on the Temple Mount... riots are often timed by the demonstrators around Jewish holidays."

chickens in 2005 grew 4 times as fast as they did in 1957
"The study authors suggested that commercial selection for certain traits resulted in a 50% reduction in the feed conversion ratio, while allowing for the propagation of bigger birds. Breast meat size in the newer strain of chickens increased by about 80%... However, Zuidhof said that steroids or other hormones are not the cause. Because chickens can produce a lot of off-spring in one year, Zuidhof explained to the news station that it is easier to select for and breed the naturally bigger chickens to produce similar results in the generations afterward."

11 things the college admissions office won't tell you
"1. Not all grades are created equal... an 'A' earned at one high school [or class] may only be worth a 'B' at a more rigorous one... Grade inflation..."
11. Under federal law, state colleges and universities cannot demand that you disclose to them your Socialist Insecurity Number for purposes of admission. They can ask, but they cannot deny admission or most other rights and privileges if you refuse to disclose it. Consult a lawyer.

teacher indoctrination
"...The average parent and [tax-victim] has little idea of what is being taught to our youngsters... Parents should become more involved with their children's education. They should look at the textbooks used and examine their children's home-work. Parents should show up en masse at PTA and board of education meetings to ensure that teachers confine their lessons to reading, writing and arithmetic and leave indoctrination to parents. The most promising tool in the fight against teacher indoctrination and class-room misconduct is the microtechnology that enables students to secretly record and expose academic misconduct by teachers."

The government issues these data requests to telecommunications and Internet providers such as Google and Verizon without any review by a court, and the letters almost always have a gag order attached to prohibit the recipients from saying much about them..."

wondrous archaeological finds in Israel this past year
"What Shukrun actually found is a giant fortification dating back 3800 years... a 3700-year-old Canaanite wine cellar in western Galilee... scientific analysis of traces found in the jars... a chisel used to build the Western Wall. The chisel is about 6 inches long... a Roman sword, cooking vessels... the dramatic death of the Sicarii and their families has commanded the greatest interest. In 1969 the state of Israel gave a full military funeral to 28 skeletons excavated at Masada... a two-thousand-year-old lice comb that looks like an ordinary one but is made of wood rather than metal... a shard of a clay pitcher with its owner's name, Shimon Bar-Yoezer, inscribed on it in Hebrew... 'For me it's the little things, like the child's toy we found, the Roman soldier's wage slip, the seal used by the baker to mark his loaves -- these are the things that make this place so alive for me.'"

voter fraud alert in Virginia
"Our friends at the Virginia Voters Alliance are demanding an investigation and prosecution of 278 non-citizen voters for voter fraud by the Fairfax county prosecutor's office and attorney-general Eric Holder. The action follows last month's announcement of the confirmed 164 double voters out of 43,893 duplicate registrations in neighboring Maryland... As background to the story, on 2014 June 1, Hans van Spakovsky published an article in The Daily Signal that details the specific instances of non-citizen voting in Virginia and under-scores the lack of prosecution and attention paid to these violations of state and federal law... In fact, 'falsely claiming to be a citizen on a voter registration form', the exact offense noted above, actually violates 3 federal statues, 42 U.S.C. §1973 gg-10(2), 18 U.S.C. §1015 (f), and 18 U.S.C. §911. Violations of each of these are felony infractions, punishable by imprisonment of up to 3 or 5 years, depending on the specific statute..."

"[Red China's] state-owned railway system... isn't allowed to use foreign technology. The reason is a desire to build up Chinese companies into national champions... The restrictions go beyond internal regulations. Last week, [Red China] passed a new postal law that bans foreign companies from delivering express mail inside [Red China], a blow to FedEx Corp. of the USA and Germany's DHL Worldwide Express Inc., which have lobbied for years against the new rules. [Red China] also maintains rules open limiting foreign investment in key sectors, such as autos, chemicals and information technologies." --- 2009-04-28 _Wall Street Journal_ "Foreign Businesses Say Red China is Growing More Protectionist" http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124082482232658755.html (quoted in Glenn Hubbard & Peter Navarro 2011 _Seeds of Destruction: Why the Path to Economic Ruin Runs Through Washington, and How To Reclaim American Prosperity_ pg106)

more data on the age issue, plus clarification on H-1B under-payment
"Basically, the magnitude of wage savings accruing from hiring the young is about 40%... [Type 1 'savings'] involves paying H-1Bs less than what comparable Americans make (the word comparable is key), while Type 2 arises from hiring young foreign workers instead of older Americans. My Migration Letters paper estimated the Type I savings at something like 20%, and this is what I wish to clarify... The NRC survey found that employers admitted to giving the H-1Bs smaller raises and so on, so there is a counter factor, making the 20% figure (or its adjusted version) actually too low..."

"One of the most interesting things about the West African Ebola outbreak is that stopping the disease has very little to do with hospital treatment. In fact, according to the WHO, it makes almost no difference to survival whether a West African is taken to a hospital or not. Mortality rates outside a hospital are 70%. 'For patients who had been treated in hospital, the mortality rates were a little lower, ranging from 67% in Liberia down to just over 61% in Sierra Leone, so hospital treatment made some difference, but perhaps not as much as might have been hoped.' What makes a difference is the culture of the people around you..."

Federal Reserve Board study confirms that foreign guest-nurses have been displacing US citizen nurses
"A recently released Federal Reserve study shows that 'for every foreign-born nurse that migrates to a U.S. city there are between 1 and 2 fewer native RNs observed working in the city'... 'We find evidence of large displacement effects...over a 10-year period.'... The people in those stiff white uniforms have a much better advocate in the American Nurses Association than the programmers do, and the nurses work in a people-serving industry that is less cut-throat in the pursuit of profits than Silicon Valley. While I welcome the arrival of this study, I wish the authors had devoted their resources to another occupation. Thanks to the ANA, there is relatively little current international migration of nurses through either H-1B or the employment-based permanent immigration schemes, but there was much more earlier in the 33-year period covered by this survey. As to the small current flow of RNs, a glance at the MyVisaJobs web-site shows that 84,505 H-1B labor condition applications were filed for computer system analysts in FY2014, while there were only 494 for nurses; routinely only about one third of LCAs lead to visas, but the relative numbers are telling. Most nurses have three-year certificates; one must have a bachelor's degree to get into H-1B, and then the hospitals would have to compete with the greedy IT industry for slots in the program. Recently, USCIS -- always on the side of more migration -- has been offering advice on how H-1B can be used [abused] to bring in nurses with 4 or more years of education."

receptors turn brain plasticity off and on
"David Bochner, a post-doctoral researcher at Stanford, and neurobiology professor Carla Shatz wanted to study a receptor called paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB). Earlier research had found that mice lacking this receptor recovered better after strokes and didn't demonstrate memory problems associated with a mouse version of Alzheimer's... Humans have 5 different inhibitory immunoglobulin-like receptor molecules (LilrB), which are very similar to PirB. One of them, LilrB2, seems to be involved in patients with Alzheimer's disease."

blocking Adrian Wyllie from debate doesn't help governor's contest

Wyllie planned to have his crew perform some technical wizardry and re-cut the debate to make it appear as if he were onstage. Then he planned to post it on the web. Kind of poetic: A Libertarian taking liberties with reality to protest a debate co-sponsored by a press association that tramped down on free speech... One day earlier, a federal judge struck down Wyllie's bid to take part. The 2 groups sponsoring the debate (the Florida Press Association and Leadership Florida) set a 15% threshold in a September poll as the bench-mark, and Wyllie -- who's been polling as high as 12% -- fell short. 'They keep moving the bar just out of reach of third-party candidates.', Wyllie said. 'Back in 2006, it was 7%. Now it's 15%. If I was at 18%, I'm sure they'd move the threshold to 20%.'..."

"Shipchandler led a team consisting of HSI supervisory-special-agent Brian Gray, DHS special-agent Edward Koranda, DHS auditor Christina Morales, DHS attorney Judson Davis, and Department of State special-agent Timothy Forte, in the investigation and settlement of claims against Infosys Corporation, an Indian company involved in consulting, technology and out-sourcing [i.e. cross-border bodyshopping & off-shore out-sourcing] services. According to court documents, the government alleged instances of Infosys circumventing the requirements, limitations, and governmental over-sight of the H-1B visa program by knowingly and unlawfully using B-1 visa holders to perform skilled labor in order to fill positions in the United States for employment that would otherwise be performed by United States citizens or require legitimate H-1B visa holders. The government also alleged that Infosys did so in order to increase profits, minimize costs of securing visas, increase flexibility of employee movement, obtain an unfair advantage over competitors and avoid tax liabilities. The unique settlement in the case involved the payment by Infosys of $34M..."

"...in a bid to keep salaries low.

The tech companies put each other's employees off-limits to other companies by introducing 'do-not-cold-call' lists and required companies to inform each other before hiring the other's employees, according to the complaint Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose division..."

The problem isn't that Ebola will leap across oceans to infect Americans; it's that [Obummer] doesn't want to protect Americans.

if above market minimum wage decrees are so great, why are the supporters citing transparently bogus studies?
"pay-roll records did not corroborate the verbal assertions made by employers. New Jersey actually suffered a decline in employment relative to Pennsylvania -- just as traditional economic theory would have anticipated... Ohio University economist Lowell Gallaway, who has written critically about the study. Gallaway said: 'The Card-Krueger study is still cited because it is useful politically... It still has legs because the minimum-wage notion is an idea that just will not die. You cannot put it to rest by any amount of evidence demonstrating its problems. Whenever people want to believe something strongly enough, any study that supports that belief -- no matter how bad it is -- will be accepted.'... Beacon Economics, chosen by both management and labor to give an objective, nonpartisan report on the effect of a $15.37 hourly minimum wage, concluded that the effect of this 2008 wage hike was devastating. Beacon's founding partner, economist Christopher Thornberg, said: 'The data clearly show that hotels around the airport have seen a sharp decline in employment relative to hotels in Los Angeles county overall. Some 12% more people are employed at hotels in the county than in 2007... But in the airport hotels covered by the law, hotel employment has declined 10%.'..."

"Unnoticed until now, a draft solicitation for bids issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Oct. 6 says potential vendors must be capable of handling a 'surge' scenario of 9M id cards in one year 'to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements'. The request for proposals says the agency will need a minimum of 4M cards per year. In the 'surge', scenario in 2016, the agency would need an additional five million cards -- more than double the base-line annual amount for a total of 9M. 'The guaranteed minimum for each ordering period is 4M cards. The estimated maximum for the entire contract is 34M cards', the document says.

"But if a 'conservative' justice is one who consistently interprets the Constitution in accordance with traditional methods of judging—as the Founders intended for it to be interpreted—then the Court is anything but conservative. On social issues the Court has been pushing society to the Left. Otherwise, the best description of its jurisprudence is 'status quo' [or "statist quo"]..."

Obummer, the "virtuoso manager"
"First, in an article published in The Jerusalem Post, terrorism analyst and investigative reporter Steven Emerson revealed how the highest echelons of the administration blocked the FBI and the US [DoJ] from assisting Israel in finding the remains of IDF soldier Oron Shaul... In August, The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House and State Department had stopped the Pentagon at the last minute from responding favorably to an Israeli request for resupply of Hellfire precision air-to-surface missiles. The precision guided missiles were a key component of Israel's air operations against missile launchers in Gaza. The missiles' guidance systems allowed the air force to destroy the launchers while minimizing collateral damage. In keeping with the standard decades-long practice, Israel requested the resupply through European Command, its military-to-military channel with the US. And in keeping with standard practice, the request was granted. But then the White House and State Department heard about the approved shipment and spun into action. As in the case of Oron's FB page, they didn't reject Israel's request. They just added a level of bureaucracy to the handling of the request that made it impossible for Israel to receive assistance from the US government in real time... On the other hand, [Obummer's] virtuoso handling of the federal bureaucracy and Congress also reveal the Achilles heel of his policies. He conceals them because he cannot defend them..."

"1964 when the Studebaker Corporation collapsed, junking the promised pensions of 4K workers not yet eligible for retirement... the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974. It established minimum standards for private retirement plans and created the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to guarantee them... during the [late-1970s,] 1980s and 1990s, when another government insurer, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC), was unable to keep up with a thrift industry spinning out of control [as a result of statutory changes in taxes and financial regulation in the late 1970s, 1980 and 1982, which allowed managers to benefit from risky investments, while tax-victims would insure against any losses]. The federal government eventually spent $124G. Unlike the FSLIC, which was backed by the US government, the PBGC is not... congres...whose own pensions are guaranteed by [tax-victims]. By the agency's estimate, that would translate into a 90% reduction in the pensions it currently pays -- so retirees covered by the agency would receive no more than 10 cents for every dollar that has been promised them." --- Donald L.

former congressman Bruce Morrison (D-CT) misrepresents his own statute on immigration quotas
"The very first section of the Immigration Act of 1990, § 101 (codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1151) states that all aliens admitted into the United States for immigration fall into one of 3 categories with annual limits (unless they fit an exception described below). Those categories are: Family-sponsored, Employment-based, Diversity immigrants. This section of the act defines six categories of immigrants that do not have annual quotas (e.g., spouses and children of U.S. citizens), none of which apply to dependents of those receiving family-sponsored, employment-based, or diversity green cards. Because such dependents do not fit any of the exceptions, the plain language of this section unambiguously states that some quota applies to dependent immigrants entering under the three major categories. In Section 162(a) (codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1153) 'Treatment of Family Members', we find what quota applies to dependents. Such a dependent is 'entitled to the same status, and the same order of consideration provided in the respective subsection, if accompanying or following to join, the spouse or parent'. The statute unambiguously states dependents have the same status as the principal applicant. Therefore, immigrant visas granted to dependents apply to the immigration quota..."

"We now have evidence from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES) that non-citizens have been voting... Its large number of observations (32,800 in 2008 and 55,400 in 2010) provide sufficient samples of the non-immigrant sub-population, with 339 non-citizen respondents in 2008 and 489 in 2010... More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote. Furthermore, some of these non-citizens voted. Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4% of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2% of non-citizens voted in 2010..."

[Didier is] 'a combination of Davy Crockett and John Wayne... He has a charisma that goes across the party divide.'... He's been endorsed by former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, libertarian hero Ron Paul and FreedomWorks... In a debate earlier this month, Mr. Didier argued that the U.S.A. needs to restore the U.S. military to the size it was in the Reagan era. He is also outspoken that the federal government should close the borders and rein in government hand-outs. He went as far as to turn down disaster aid he was eligible for after heavy rains ruined his crops in 2010...

From 2000 through 2013, at least $29.7M was illegally withheld from about 4,400 tech workers here on H-1B visas, US Department of Labor documents show. And this barely hints at the problem because, in the hidden world of body shops, bad actors rarely are caught... For some, visa fraud is a given... Early attempts at reform... Workers represent themselves in court... Trail of accusations against Softech... A clandestine pay-off... Large firms use same tactics... Bonding model spreads to US nationals... Policies bar bonded labor... Fighting labor broker in court..."

"Mandatory quarantine is not a punishment. It is a public health tool designed to protect a population from those carrying deadly infectious disease. It is not voluntary by design. Of course, these brave health care workers deserve four-star lodging and pay for any missed work. And the quarantine system may need fine-tuning to differentiate among the levels of risk to which the workers were exposed..."

Reverend Corey Brooks, who has backed Republican Rauner in his tight race against Democratic governor Pat Quinn, said about $8K was taken from a collection box from his New Beginnings Church this weekend.

corrupt senate Select Committee on Ethics, after having acknowledged receiving charges against Harry Reid and the Obummer regime, now say they haven't received them
"The Democrat-controlled senate Select Committee on Ethics said that it never received a complaint pertaining to Democratic senator Harry Reid and the [Obummer regime's] efforts to approve visas for favored investors, despite the fact that it previously confirmed having received the complaint -- and even stone-walled the press by saying that it opened an investigation. The Daily Caller has learned that the nonprofit government accountability organization Cause of Action sent the ethics committee, chaired by Democratic California senator Barbara Boxer, a recent letter asking for follow-up on its 2013 Dec. 16 complaint, which detailed Reid's ex parte communications with then-U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS] director Alejandro Mayorkas, who now serves as deputy secretary in the Department of Homeland Security [DHS]. Cause of Action said that Reid violated Rule 43 of the U.S. senate Code of Official Conduct because his conversations with Mayorkas led to approval of EB-5 visas for investors represented by Reid's lawyer son, Rory Reid..."

Veterans Administration Montana Health Care System released patients' personal private information
"'I feel violated.', B said. 'They've sent my personal information out to who knows where, and who knows what they will do with it. It is indicative of a dysfunctional system that I thought was getting better.'..."
Of course the problem is that the VA had possession of these personal private records that belong to the individual veterans instead of only that patient and the individual doctors and nurses the patient permits to briefly have some of them, and then only for as long as they are directly working on his treatment. But that would be inconveeeenient for the doctors and meddling administrators, so they always violate people's privacy... including these secondary privacy violations some of which make it into the news.

massive non-citizen voting uncovered in Maryland
"The group, Virginia Voters Alliance, says that it compared how voters in Frederick County filled out jury duty statements compared with their voting records. The group’s investigation found that thousands of people in Frederick County who stated that they are not U.S. citizens on jury duty forms went on to cast votes in elections. Either they failed to tell the truth when they were summoned for jury duty, or they cast illegal votes. Both are crimes. The same group previously found that about 40K people are registered to vote in both Virginia and Maryland. It is a federal crime to cast votes if you are not legally eligible to vote. Non-citizens, whether in the country legally or not, are prohibited from voting in most local and all state and federal elections. Yet the VVA investigation found that hundreds of non-citizens have been voting in Frederick County, Maryland..."

Obummer's government by "experts" is the virus of the leftist elite
"...And [Obummer's] reliance on government by 'experts' provides the even stranger result that a horse from West Africa cannot enter the United States without going through a strict 60-day quarantine against African Horse Sickness, a disease affecting only horses, not humans, that would be devastating to the American horse industy.* However, Kaci Hickox, a traveler with known exposure to ebola, can threaten her way out of ebola quarantine on the basis that her 'fundamental human rights' are being violated -- and she should know because as a nurse and a [leftist] Democrat she is an 'expert' in both ebola and human rights apparently. The arrogance and lies inherent in liberal 'government by experts' are now on graphic display in the [Obummer] response to the ebola crisis and the willingnes of American voters to defer to government by experts is, fortunately, rapidly eroding. Among the many corrective actions the 2014 midterm election could and should bring about is a restoration of constitutional government that follows common sense and the rule of law..."

war between left and right continues
"Conservatives salivating over the prospects of a huge victory on Nov. 4 are pressuring House and senate GOP leaders to go big after Election Day. The right argues leaders should forget about playing small ball and use momentum from the mid-terms to put big checks on president [Barack Hussein Obummer's insane schemes]. 'People want to see a bold vision. They want to see a real fight [to repeal the unconstitutional national socialist ObummerDoesn'tCare] and tax reform that takes [an industrual chain-saw] to the tax code. They want to see real entitlement reform, not empty talk.', one conservative GOP aide said. 'The American people don't want Republicans to become appeasers and supporters of a watered down Obama agenda.'... 'This is why nobody believes Mitch McConnell anymore.', said Ken Cuccinelli, president of the senate Conservatives Fund. 'He says he wants to rip [ObummerDoesn'tCare] out root and branch but then flips days before his election and says he plans to surrender.' Cuccinelli said a GOP senate could repeal [ObummerDoesn'tCare] through a process known as budget reconciliation, which would require just 51 votes in the senate..."

Jeff Sessions: Obummer's latest amnesty for illegal aliens scheme hurts US citizens, benefits a few corrupt billionaires
"...'we have more than 11M Americans with STEM degrees who don't have jobs in these fields. Rutgers professor Hal Salzman documented that two-thirds of all new IT jobs are being filled by foreign workers. From 2000 through today, a period of record legal immigration, all net gains in employment among the working-age have gone entirely to immigrant workers. And now, in order to help open borders billionaires, [president Obummer] is going to deny millions of Americans their shot at entering the middle class and a better life. The world has turned upside down. Instead of serving the interests of the American people, the policies of [president Obummer] and every senate Democrat serve the needs of special interests and global CEOs who fail to understand the duty a nation owes to its own people. But the citizens of this country still hold the power, and through their voice, they can turn the country right-side up again.'"

the trials and tribulations of the intellectually gifted
"...According to the article, people do not understand kids who are gifted and see them as immature emotionally because they may seem overly excitable or sensitive. A gifted kid can often see in his 'mind's eye' what he wants to do or construct but his motor skills don't allow him to do it. He or she becomes frustrated and has a melt-down or emotional outburst and people think he/she is immature. Judgement also lags intellect as gifted kids often feel stressed because they attempt to deal with emotions and social concepts beyond their capacity. Sometimes experience is the only teacher and gifted kids are still just…kids. Gifted kids also tend towards perfectionism and might avoid taking risks. They expect much of themselves and others. They can see possibilities, but at the same time, they see potential problems and 'consider alternatives and outcomes to such a degree that taking action is hindered'..."

"In the 1920s the Americans imposed an immigration law that established a national origins system that discriminated in favor of people who came from the place most Americans had come. In 1960s they decided it was very bad and discriminatory and they abolished it. What subsequent experience has shown is national origins actually do matter, in all kinds of ways, not just shooting soldiers, but also in academic performance and so on. People from different countries do differently... The interesting thing about this case is that the Muslim community in Canada has reached a critical mass where it actually refuses to assimilate... there's a certain critical mass where you see reverse assimilation taking place..."

"The 2014 annual conference of the Middle East Studies Association of North America (MESA) will host an International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) reception at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC on November 23. The true nature of IIIT, a Virginia-based think tank, was revealed during the 2007 U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing trial, which unearthed a 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memorandum naming IIIT as one of the like-minded organizations in the USA dedicated to a 'grand jihad' aimed at 'eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within' so that 'God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions'. Middle East studies professors have long shared the podium with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), another Islamist outfit linked by the United States government to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood..."

On Wednesday night, the Palestinians sent a hit man to Jerusalem to kill him. And today Glick lays in a coma at Shaare Zedek Medical Center... As Palestinian Media Watch reported Thursday, in the three days leading up to the assassination attempt on Glick, the [the Fatah Palestinian Authority occupying eastern Israel's] television station broadcast Abbas's call for attacks on Jews who seek to enter the Temple Mount 19 times... Since Abbas first issued the order for Palestinians to attack Jews, there have been two terrorist attacks in Jerusalem. Both have claimed American citizens among their victims. Yet the [Obummer regime] has refused to condemn Abbas's call to murder Jews... [The Obummer regime] have praised [Abbas] and attacked Israel and its elected leader..."

"By 2011 the average balance in a 401(k) account was $60,329, accordint to the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). But even that modest nuber does not reveal how inadequate these accounts are for most Americans. Their median value was [in 2011] $17,686... Nearly 1 in 4 accounts had a balance of less than $5K. For most Americans, the amount in their 401(k) account would pay them a retirement benefit of less than $80 [per] month for life." --- Donald L. Barlett & James B.
