Will Hillary Clinton's female voters choose Obama or Mccain?
John McCain had to apologize for regaling a Republican audience with a crude sexual joke about Hillary and Chelsea Clinton and Janet Reno. Last year he had to explain why he didn't so much as flinch when a supporter asked him on camera, "How do we beat the bitch?" But these days Mr. McCain just loves the women. In his televised address on Barack Obama's victory night of June 3, he dismissed Mr. Obama in a single patronizing line but devoted four fulsome sentences to praising Mrs. Clinton for "inspiring millions of women." The McCain Web site is showcasing a new blogger who crooned of the "genuine affection" for Mrs. Clinton "here at McCain HQ" after she lost. One of the few visible women in the McCain campaign hierarchy, Carly Fiorina, has declared herself "enormously proud" of Mrs. Clinton and is barnstorming to win over Democratic women to her guy's cause. How heartwarming. You'd never guess that Mr. McCain is a fierce foe of abortion rights or that he voted to terminate the federal family-planning program that provides breast-cancer screenings. You'd never know that his new campaign blogger, recruited from The Weekly Standard, had shown his genuine affection for Mrs. Clinton earlier this year by portraying her as a liar and whiner and by piling on with a locker-room jeer after she'd been called a monster. "Tell us something we don't know," he wrote. Only an earthquake — the Iowa results, for instance — could shatter such previously immutable story lines as the Clinton campaign's invincibility and the innate hostility of white voters to a black candidate. Our new bogus narrative rose from the ashes of Mrs. Clinton's concession to Mr. Obama, amid the raucous debate over what role misogyny played in her defeat. A few female Clinton supporters — or so they identified themselves — appeared on YouTube and Fox News to say they were so infuriated by sexism that they would vote for Mr. McCain. Now, there's no question that men played a big role in Mrs. Clinton's narrow loss, starting with Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Mark Penn. And the evidence of misogyny in the press and elsewhere is irrefutable, even if it was not the determinative factor in the race. But the notion that all female Clinton supporters became "angry white women" once their candidate lost — to the hysterical extreme where even lifelong Democrats would desert their own party en masse — is itself a sexist stereotype. That's why some of the same talking heads and Republican operatives who gleefully insulted Mrs. Clinton are now peddling this fable on such flimsy anecdotal evidence. The fictional scenario of mobs of crazed women defecting to Mr. McCain is just one subplot of the master narrative that has consumed our politics for months. The larger plot has it that the Democratic Party is hopelessly divided, and that only a ticket containing Mrs. Clinton in either slot could retain the loyalty of white male bowlers and other constituencies who tended to prefer her to Mr. Obama in the primaries...there was no mention that the Democrat beat Mr. McCain (and outperformed Mr. Kerry) in every other group that had been in doubt: independents, Catholics, blue-collar workers and Hispanics. Indeed, the evidence that pro-Clinton Hispanics are flocking to Mr. McCain is as nonexistent as the evidence of a female stampede. Mr. Obama swamps Mr. McCain by 62 percent to 28 percent — a disastrous G.O.P. setback, given that President Bush took 44 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, according to exit polls. No wonder the McCain campaign no longer lists its candidate's home state of Arizona as safe this fall. The conservative hostility toward McCain heralded by the early attacks of Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and James Dobson is proliferating. Bay Buchanan, the party activist who endorsed Mitt Romney, wrote this month that Mr. McCain is "incapable of energizing his party, brings no new people to the polls" and "has a personality that is best kept under wraps." When Mr. McCain ditched the preachers John Hagee and Rod Parsley after learning that their endorsements antagonized Catholics, Muslims and Jews, he ended up getting a whole new flock of evangelical Christians furious at him too. The revolt is not limited to the usual cranky right-wing suspects. The antiwar acolytes of Ron Paul are planning a large rally for convention week in Minneapolis. The conservative legal scholar Douglas Kmiec has endorsed Mr. Obama, as have both the economic adviser to Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America," Lawrence Hunter, and the neocon historian Francis Fukuyama. Rupert Murdoch is publicly flirting with the Democrat as well. Even Dick Cheney emerged from his bunker this month to gratuitously dismiss Mr. McCain's gas-tax holiday proposal as "a false notion" before the National Press Club. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/15/opinion/15rich.html |

Chicago Goes Green
http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com On Thursday, Chicago Mayor, Richard M. Daley announced a plan to reduce heat-trapping gases. The plan calls for a reformation of the Chicagos building codes, the installation of solar panels at municipal properties, and the creation of alternative fueling stations. In 1990, Chicago pledged to reduce the amount of emissions of heat-trapping gases 25 percent by 2020. According to Ron Burke, a Union of Concerned Scientists director, Chicagos plan to measure and cut the amount of emissions is much more specific then other cities. Not only does Burke have confidence in the plan, he also believes that if prompt action is not taken, the city will encounter 30 more days of 100-degree weather at the close of the century. This plan was collaborated over 18 months and included extensive research, discussions, and conferences with environmentalists, scientists, business and labor leaders. The success of this plan is going to be determinative on the community, but Chicagos chief environmental officer, Sadhu Johnston, believes that the community is ready and willing to contribute, particularly to cut fuel prices. We dont need mandates, Johnston said, so much as we need to give people the tools that allow them to green their own lives. As part of the plan, residents will receive tips on how to cut energy expenses in their everyday lives. In addition, an $800 challenge will also be proposed to award the office that conserves the most energy. Mayor Richard Daley believes that we cant solve the worlds climate change problem in Chicago, but we can do our part. He also believes that the plan is a model for the rest of the nation. |

http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/fairvalue.htm weighing a broker quote as an input to fair value, an entity should place less reliance on quotes that do not reflect the result of market transactions. Further, the nature of the quote (e.g. whether the quote is an indicative price or a binding offer) should be considered when weighing the available evidence. Are transactions that are determined to be disorderly representative of fair value? When is a distressed (disorderly) sale indicative of fair value? The results of disorderly transactions are not determinative when measuring fair value. The concept of a fair value measurement assumes an orderly transaction between market participants. An orderly transaction is one that involves market participants that are willing to transact and allows for adequate exposure to the market. Distressed or forced liquidation sales are |

MANNY VILLAR VS. PING LACSON, JAMBY MADRIGAL, LOREN LEGARDA, MAR ROXAS--- TUNOG KALYE
TUNOG KALYE --- THE C 5 EXTENSION PROJECT SO CALLED DOUBLE INSERTION VERBAL WAR....SEN PRES MANNY VILLAR VS. SEN PING LACSON AND COMPANY MANILA Inihain ni Senador Ma Ana Consuelo Madrigal nitong Miyerkules ang kanyang reklamo sa Senate ethics committee laban kay Senate President Manuel Villar Jr. kaugnay sa umanoy conflict of interest" dahil sa pagtaguyod ng huli sa C-5 Road projects. Iginiit ni Madrigal sa kanyang reklamo na nakinabang ang mga real estate project ni Villar sa kontrobersyal na C-5 road na nadoble umano ang alokasyon ng tig-P200 milyon noong 2008. Ayon sa senador, ang partisipasyon ni Villar sa double insertion constituted to malicious, deliberate and fraudulent act." Nilabag din umano ni Villar ang batas nang hindi nito bitawan ang kanyang mga negosyo mula nang maupong opisyal ng gobyerno. Tumanggi naman si Villar na magbigay ng komento hanggat hindi pa umano niya nababasa ang reklamo. Gayunman, sinabi nito na inaasahan na niya ang gagawin ng ilang kasapi ng minorya laban sa kanya. Samantala, naniniwala naman ang kapartido ni Villar sa Nacionalista Party na si Sen Alan Peter Cayetano na hindi sapat ang paratang ni Madrigal upang idiin sa reklamo ang lider ng Senado. Dapat ipakita ni Sen. Madrigal kung paano naging conflict of interest, saan ba dapat mapunta ang kalye, nailipat nga ba, may overpriced ba etc.. But merely using the word conflict and trying to show na ang isang korporasyon ay kumita, wont be sufficient," paliwanag ni Cayetano, isang abogado. Sinabi ni Cayetano na hindi lang ang mga kumpanya ni Villar ang nakinabang sa C-5 road kundi maging ang iba pang subdibisyon na dadaanan nito. Bukod pa umano rito ang milyong-milyong motorista na papasok at lalabas sa Cavite at Metro Manila. In fact, puwedeng interes din ng bayan talaga na mapaganda yung kalye na yan. Kung kasalanan na meron kang kalye, dapat makasuhan din si Senador Madrigal dahil napakalaking kalye ang nasa harap at tabi ng Madrigal Business Park at the mere fact na may kontrata with the government is a violation," paliwanag ng senador. Siya mismo ang nagsabi dito sa floor na binabawi nila ang lupa ng New Bilibid Prison kung itoy gagamitin sa iba dahil pamilya daw nila ang may-ari nito. So meaning may kontrata din with the government to a Deed of Donation," idinagdag niya. Muling ipinaalala ni Cayetano na ang lahat ng aksyon ng ilang kasapi ng minorya laban kay Villar ay nag-ugat mula nang iahayag niya ang intensyon na tumakbong presidente sa 2010 elections. Idinagdag naman ni Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago na hindi ang bigat ng kasalanan o misbehavior ang siyang titimbangin nila sa pagdedesisyon sa anumang reklamong inihain sa Ethics committee laban sa kapwa senador. It is not the designation of the offense or the misbehavior that is determinative; it is the decision of the committee. For example, as part of their complaint here, they might allege that the Senate President has personally and financially benefited from the contract on the C5 extension, then that is also a complaint of plunder," ayon sa senadora. Then there would be actual duplication, in which case the Ethics committee will be justified in dismissing it. Bakit mo pa didinggin kung ang kakalabasan niya ay rekomendasyon sa Ombudsman? Kung nag-file na sa Ombudsman, e di wala nang katuturan pa na hihingi ka pa ng rekomendasyon sa Ombudsman," pahabol ng mambabatas. - GMANews.TV |

Turtle Island Project: Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard at NMU
Turtle Island project Founder Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard spoke to the Unity Conference at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, MI during Sept. 2007 - will be speaking at the university's Indigenous Earth Day Summit. --- The 2008 Indigenous Earth Day Summit to be held at NMU April 22-23. This summit is made possible by the Center for Native American Studies, the Environmental Science Program and the Office of International Programs. This summit is a call to action on Indigenous environmental issues in the Great Lakes area, on Turtle Island and around the world. An Aboriginal Australian delegation from the Traditional Knowledge Revival Pathways project ( http://www.tkrp.com.au ) will be featured as keynote presenters and will provide musical entertainment. Presentations include ideas on how to address Indigenous environmental concerns. Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard, founder of the Turtle Island Project, has two presentations at the NMU 2008 Indigenous Earth Day. The day/time will be announced soon. Turtle Island Project Presentation #1: In the Spirit of the Earth Ecologico-Poetics: Native American story telling and the Ecological Challenge The first presentation will focus on the relationship between language and earth based spiritualities. Rev. Hubbard will first establish the many similarities between the functioning of a language and a religion within a particular cultural context - suggesting that the original language of human beings is poetry, and that poetry (mytho-poetics) is the true and proper language of religious consciousness. Dr. Hubbard speak of the limitations of rational discourse (the inability of logic to express the truth of mythos) and suggest that indigenous language, as expressed through the many stories involving human and animal interactions, holds the key to the creation of an ecological-poetic understanding of the world, an understanding that can function as a corrective to traditional Euro-American forms of religion and science, which have helped to contribute to the current global ecological crisis. --- Turtle Island Project Presentation #2: In The Absence of the Sacred Ecologico- Spirituality: Sacred Land and the struggle for Human Liberation "Sacred places are the foundation of all other beliefs and practices because they represent the presence of the sacred in our lives." Vine Deloria, Jr. Human societies have traditionally made either nature or history determinative of reality. It is clear that traditional western forms of spirituality prefer history as the source of divine revelation, and hence use temporal metaphors for expressing their sense of the sacred, which is often understood as existing apart from the natural processes of the physical world. Indigenous forms of spirituality prefer nature as a source of sacred knowledge, and use primarily temporal metaphors to express their sense of the sacred, which are often tied to a specific time and a specific place. In this presentation, Dr. Hubbard will the examine the implications of these differing metaphors in relationship to the idea of sacred Land. What is the sacred? What do we mean by sacred land? Is it possible for modern Euro-Americans to understand such a concept? What is the relationship of Sacred Lands to global ecological concerns? Does western culture, still have a notion of the sacred? Summit Topics include: Traditional Ecological Knowledge (T.E.K.) Education and Indigenous environmental concerns History of industrialism, industrial threats, Indigenous peoples and the Earth Economic globalization and Indigenous peoples Indigenous languages and the Earth Solutions in Indigenous cultures to environmental problems Indigenous subsistence rights and protection of sacred land Global poisoning and the impact on Indigenous peoples Climate change and its impact on Indigenous peoples ------- Center for Native American Studies Northern Michigan University April Lindala, Director 112F Whitman Hall Marquette, MI 49855 Office: 906-227-1397 Fax: 906-227-1396 |

Produced & composed by - Cisco Ferreira & Keith Fleming Notes: Tracklisting: A: Techno Dream (4:30) B: Techno Dream (4:30) Ghentlon Real Name: Cisco Ferreira, Keith Fleming Aliases: Abstract (3), Cisco Ferreira, G Flame, Rogue Modelz R&S Records Profile: R&S represents the initials of Renaat & Sabine, the couple that created this quintessential label of the history of the electronic music. Based in Ghent, Belgium, it held the privilege to be located in one of the oldest and most traditional cities of Europe. The label was first named as Milos Music Belgium but just one record was released on this label. But for the three massive cathedrals (St. Peter, St. Baaf and the newer one of Gothic design, St. Nicholas, built in the 13th century), the city passed through a serious transformation since the beginning of the nineties. At that time, a new revolution has attained this Belgian community: the one of the rise of the machines, made mainly through innovation and experimentation, principles that will always remain as the main landmarks of R & S Records. Created by the visionary Renaat Vandepapeliere and his wife Sabine Maes, R recruited almost every single artist of avant-garde essence from late eighties to the first half of the nineties. Renaat's passion for Ferrari's has been notorious, which explained why he initially decided to use the Ferrari logo for the label, probably paying substantial royalties for it, from 1988 to 1989. This happened in the same period of the New Beat era, a musical styled clearly influenced by EBM and Acid House, but with lower BPMs (the first releases are precisely New Beat ones, but soon the sound flavors would change to something far more technological. It was the label that catapulted careers such as the ones of Joey Beltram -- first of all for having released one of the classics of the last decade, "Energy Flash". The same highlight occurred with Human Resource, the trance duo of Jam & Spoon (of "Stella"), and also the ambient-experimental fusion of Richard James' creative mind (as Aphex Twin, with tunes like "Digeridoo" and "Analogue Bubblebath" I and III). The New Beat formers CJ Bolland (author of "Camargue", "Mantra" and "Horsepower") and Cisco Ferreira (which was considered alongside Robert Leiner an engineer of respect) also took their places on the team of the 'Techno Island' -- a place that served as a majestic Academy for futuristic-technological soundscapes, where the R studios were located. It is equally important not to forget that R was responsible for a very close alliance with the legendary producers from Detroit. The names included Stacey Pullen as Silent Phase, the impact of Derrick May as "R-Tyme", the pioneer Juan Atkins, Carl Craig and even Kevin Saunderson. Together, this organization gave formidable contributions to the growing electronic scene of Europe. The eclectic spirit was so determinative that R will remain one of the few labels to blend rhythms from Techno to Trance, Breakbeats, the more experimental, or Drum & Bass. In 1989, Renaat's first big move toward the ground-breaking sonorities appeared on the compilation "In Order To Dance", born to be eternal. Selected during the New Beat era, it quickly called the attention of the critics and the intense listeners (through tunes like 'Ghentlon -- Techno Dream') for the fact that a new musical style would soon take its place on the preferences of the quality-demanding supporters of electronic music: Techno.

(5:22) A2: Parameter (6:59) B: Forever (6:20) Real Name: Dave Clarke Profile: Dave Clarke was born in Brighton, on 19 September 1968, and he's one of the most respected (and idiosyncratic) techno DJs and producers in the '90s. Dave Clarke began his music career as a hip-hop DJ in the mid-'80s, shifting to acid-house and later rave near the end of the decade. He began recording for Stress (as Pig City) in the early '90s and also appeared on R&S, XL and his own Magnetic North Records. By the mid-'90s, he had gradually shifted away from rave to a brand of straightahead techno with the ferocity of hardcore yet the sublime feelings of classic Detroit techno.

R&S Records Profile: R&S represents the initials of Renaat & Sabine, the couple that created this quintessential label of the history of the electronic music. Based in Ghent, Belgium, it held the privilege to be located in one of the oldest and most traditional cities of Europe. The label was first named as Milos Music Belgium but just one record was released on this label. But for the three massive cathedrals (St. Peter, St. Baaf and the newer one of Gothic design, St. Nicholas, built in the 13th century), the city passed through a serious transformation since the beginning of the nineties. At that time, a new revolution has attained this Belgian community: the one of the rise of the machines, made mainly through innovation and experimentation, principles that will always remain as the main landmarks of R & S Records. Created by the visionary Renaat Vandepapeliere and his wife Sabine Maes, R recruited almost every single artist of avant-garde essence from late eighties to the first half of the nineties. Renaat's passion for Ferraris has been notorious, which explained why he initially decided to use the Ferrari logo for the label, probably paying substantial royalties for it, from 1988 to 1989. This happened in the same period of the New Beat era, a musical styled clearly influenced by EBM and Acid House, but with lower BPMs (the first releases are precisely New Beat ones, but soon the sound flavors would change to something far more technological. It was the label that catapulted careers such as the ones of Joey Beltram -- first of all for having released one of the classics of the last decade, "Energy Flash". The same highlight occurred with Human Resource, the trance duo of Jam & Spoon (of "Stella"), and also the ambient-experimental fusion of Richard James' creative mind (as Aphex Twin, with tunes like "Digeridoo" and "Analogue Bubblebath" I and III). The New Beat formers CJ Bolland (author of "Camargue", "Mantra" and "Horsepower") and Cisco Ferreira (which was considered alongside Robert Leiner an engineer of respect) also took their places on the team of the 'Techno Island' -- a place that served as a majestic Academy for futuristic-technological soundscapes, where the R studios were located. It is equally important not to forget that R was responsible for a very close alliance with the legendary producers from Detroit. The names included Stacey Pullen as Silent Phase, the impact of Derrick May as "R-Tyme", the pioneer Juan Atkins, Carl Craig and even Kevin Saunderson. Together, this organization gave formidable contributions to the growing electronic scene of Europe. The eclectic spirit was so determinative that R will remain one of the few labels to blend rhythms from Techno to Trance, Breakbeats, the more experimental, or Drum & Bass. In 1989, Renaat's first big move toward the ground-breaking sonorities appeared on the compilation "In Order To Dance", born to be eternal. Selected during the New Beat era, it quickly called the attention of the critics and the intense listeners (through tunes like 'Ghentlon -- Techno Dream') for the fact that a new musical style would soon take its place on the preferences of the quality-demanding supporters of electronic music: Techno.

Fairvalue #29 Fair Value Accounting Standards
http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/fairvalue.htm not orderly transactions, and thus the fact that a transaction is distressed or forced should be considered when weighing the available evidence. Determining whether a particular transaction is forced or disorderly requires judgment. Can transactions in an inactive market affect fair value measurements? Yes. A quoted market price in an active market for the identical asset is most representative of fair value and thus is required to be used (generally without adjustment). Transactions in inactive markets may be inputs when measuring fair value, but would likely not be determinative. If they are orderly, transactions should be considered in management's estimate of fair value. However, if prices in an inactive market do not reflect current prices for the same or similar assets, |
