Never Mind Forgetting the Name, Does Perry Realize the Consequences of Closing Those Departments?

[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 20:00:07 11/13/11
It's an easy joke to make fun of Perry's inability to remember which three departments he'd close as President. It's clear that his campaign will likely not recover as he is polling somewhere south of "Just about anyone else" of likely Republican voters. After eight years of an intellectually incurious Texan governor driving the country and the world economy over the brink, even Republicans are wary of giving his dimmer clone an opportunity to do it again. But what I think is more frightening is that everyone in the media is so focused on those 53 seconds of stammering that they don't ever get to what the consequences of losing those departments would mean to the country. Considering that he's not the only Republican on that panel making that noise , shall we look at the consequences of shutting down the Commerce, Energy and Education departments ? > The Department of Commerce contains the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which runs our system of intellectual property. Without it, America would have no way to ensure that inventors could fully profit from their inventions, giving them little incentive to spend the time and money needed for breakthroughs. The pace of American innovation would likely take a huge hit. Commerce also includes the Census Bureau. The accurate count of Americans that the department provides each decade lets leaders and policymakers know how to allocate resources--housing, roads, utilities--around the country. And Commerce also encompasses the National Weather Service (NWS), which issues crucial warnings about severe weather like hurricanes and floods. When state and local officials make decisions about how and when to evacuate, they're generally going off NWS information. The Department of Energy, created during the Carter administration, protects U.S. nuclear weapons from accidents or terrorist attacks that could release dangerous radioactive material, killing thousands. Without the oversight that the Energy Department presently provides, it would be difficult to maintain a nuclear weapons program at all. The Energy Department also plays a key role in funding and promoting the civilian use of nuclear power. As for the Department of Education--likewise created under President Carter--its role is more limited, because the U.S. education system is highly decentralized. Indeed, Perry is hardly the first conservative to pledge to abolish it. The Education Department does have a role in shaping education policy, however, by handing out funds to states that adopt its preferred reforms, and it also enforces privacy and civil rights laws in schools. As they say, beware the unintended consequences. Can you imagine Rick Perry's America, where there is no innovation, because intellectual property is not protected any more than our nuclear weapons program? Where entire swaths of the country could be wiped out by a category 5 hurricane because our emergency services doesn't have advance notice? Where radioactive disposal is unregulated? Catastrophe is not too strong a word for Perry's vision for our country.

"Maximo TV http://www.maximotv.com http://www.youtube.com/maximotv BooBoo Stewart (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Breaking Dawn) and Fivel Stewart interview at the 10th Annual Harvest and Crush Event by Malibu Family Wines celebrating City Hearts 25th Anniversary at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu,Ca USA September 19, 2010 - Interview by Amanda Vanderpool About Malibu Family Wines: Malibu Family Wines is a family-owned vineyard located on the exquisite 1000-acre Saddlerock Ranch estate. Visitors may recognize the vineyard and unusual rock formations from over 100 movies, commercials and television shows filmed on the property. The estate is also home to dozens of horses and exotic animals and a popular weekend setting for weddings and special events. As a joint endeavor between the Semler and DeJoria families, Malibu Family Wines takes pride in the gentle-handling and traditional techniques that give their wines their special character. With the high altitude and separation from the coast, along with an ideal blend of weather conditions and rich, rocky soil, it's the perfect environment for growing premium wine grapes. About City Hearts: City Hearts was founded in 1984 by Sherry and Bob Jason, who met as attorneys in the Public Defender's Office representing youth charged with crimes. The husband and wife team believed then, as now, that the Arts are the powerful tools to communicate with and rehabilitate troubled youth at risk from gangs, drugs, school failure and crime. They created City Hearts, southern California's preeminent Arts-based program of prevention, to transform and intervene in the lives of our communities' most impoverished and at-greatest-risk children through performance and comprehensive Arts experiences. In 1993, City Hearts created the groundbreaking ""Sentenced to the Stage"" program for non-violent youthful offenders on probation, providing City Hearts as an alternative to traditional community service programs. Over 25 years, City Hearts has helped educate and inspire more than 27,000 children. ***This footage is available for licensing*** The viewing of this clip by website visitors is only permissible for personal use; copying, commercial use, distribution, broadcast, download, additional use or transfer is expressly prohibited.

Dangerbird recording artists The One Am Radio perform live in Studio B of Mevio in San Francisco This is Part 1. For the complete performance CLICK HERE Official Site Facebook Twitter MySpace The One AM Radio is a trio based in Los Angeles, where the sun hasn’t completely thawed their New England roots. They make music about the feeling you get while driving home, fast, late at night, through half-empty streets. The project began in New England, where Hrishikesh Hirway was studying design and photography at Yale. With a borrowed guitar, a 4-track, and a drum machine, he made cassettes for his friends and his sister to fall asleep to—instrumental lullabies mixed with staticky murmurs of talk radio. Hirway started writing lyrics and singing over his music, and began performing, using what he’d written on the label on the first cassette — “The One AM Radio” — as a moniker. Ted Leo gave Hrishikesh his real start and his first release, after the two played a show together, inviting him to come record in Boston at Radium City, Ted’s home recording studio. Those recordings were released as a split 7-inch with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Because of Hrishikesh’s musical roots, The One AM Radio became an unlikely part of the DIY hardcore scene, playing and touring alongside screamy punk bands in sweaty basements. The homemade recordings were released in the form of EPs and 7”s on a variety of hardcore labels, as well as Hirway’s own DIY imprint, Translucence . By the time 2004’s A Name Writ In Water was released, people outside of the hardcore community had started to take notice. Pitchfork reviewed the album glowingly, giving it an 8.1 rating, noting “Hirway’s prose is peppered with imagistic bits of landscape. His compositions simply feel colossal…the maps he draws are beautiful.” Time Out New York deemed it one of the top ten albums of the year, and called the “dream mix of vocals, guitars, synths, violins, and ambient beats…both lush and thoughtful.” That year, between touring and working odd jobs and freelancing as a designer, Hirway began a nomadic lifestyle, criss-crossing the country in his car, with his belongings limited to what could fit in his trunk. He eventually left the US to spend time in his parents’ home country of India, and began writing and recording what would become the album This Too Will Pass while living in Mumbai. Hirway found himself back in Los Angeles, where he had once lived briefly, but long enough to fall in and collaborate with the likes of Daedelus and the dublab crew, the online radio collective at the heart of the LA experimental electronic scene. This time, shedding the wanderlust that had guided him for so long, he decided to try and make the city his home. There, he made the acquaintance of the folks at Dangerbird Records, who signed him to release This Too Will Pass . Los Angeles proved to be a fertile and fortuitous home base for Hirway, as a place where he could continue his unique aesthetic among a collection of luminaries who were like-minded if not exactly like-sounding. He remixed tracks for Jimmy Tamborello (of Dntel and the Postal Service) and LA beat-scene breakout star Baths, who had been a longtime fan of The One AM Radio. He produced two albums for labelmates Eulogies, and played shows with folks like Juana Molina, El Perro Del Mar, and Damien Jurado when they came through town. Hrishikesh started making Heaven Is Attached by a Slender Thread during sleepless nights. Tony Hoffer, who has produced albums for Beck, Phoenix, Belle and Sebastian, and Air, ended up hearing demos of some of the early songs and reached out to get involved with the recording. Hoffer took an the role of an advisor, and Hirway would send him his hand-crafted organic electronic songs. Hoffer eventually mixed the album. Baths and his fellow anticon labelmate alias contributed as well, to the songs “Ticking Heart” and “Weathering (The News),” respectively. Hirway’s new bandmates, Fontaine Cole and Scott Leahy, added to the recordings, as well as Daniel Hart, the violinist for St Vincent. For Hirway, the new LP is about living on the fumes of dreams and hopes, which also happen to be what the plastic city of Los Angeles is built on, and what it is constantly confirming—and betraying. At one point, Hrishikesh’s idea was to make a dance record, and now, he admits, that’s not really how it turned out. But the album does make you want to move, to run, to get in the car and drive fast through the empty city in the middle of the night — to remember how tenuous the hold is on all the things you have, and want, and long for.

"our whole goal is to catch the fires when they're small and get them out" we went along with fox and his wildland team -- consisting of two trucks, as they patrolled up and down the bosque just south of montano. their presence here --means a faster response time when a fire breaks out. today was calm - "we had a guy that stopped us this morning that had a cut foot" but that calmness -- can change in an instant, fropeople simply not paying attention. "in previous years we've come across some grills with some smoldering charcoal in them" "the wind is heavy out here anyway so even the smallest things can turn into something major" the wildland trucks will be on patrol everyday from noon to eight p-m. and when we get closer to the fourth of july they will be adding trucks, and extending those hours. live near central and tingley. jeff maher. kob. eyewitness news 4.

When do you heave to when sailing to windward? Lin and Larry Pardey give you the answer and show you how. From Storm Tactics: Cape Horn Tested (84-Minutes) . VIDEO DOWNLOAD TheSailingChannel.TV offers Storm Tactics as a HIGH QUALITY VIDEO DOWNLOAD available in both Windows Media (WMV) and QuickTime (MOV) versions suitable for full screen viewing. PRICE: JUST $12.99 . DVD also available. Just pay with Paypal or your Credit Card, download and watch full screen on your PC or MAC. This 84 minute video delivers the skills you need to weather storms with confidence. If you like the preview, buy the DVD. It's the next best thing to having Lin and Larry Pardey onboard, coaching you on storm tactics as the seas build and the rigging howls. Closing in on 200,000 miles of blue water voyaging, Lin and Larry Pardey are recognized as the sailing world's most experienced and knowledgeable cruising couple. In Storm Tactics, they provide a detailed look at the techniques and gear that have kept them safe at sea. "... I wanted to show how the sailor's safety valve--heaving-to-works, and the slick it creates. It's hard for people to imagine the almost magic effect of a slick as it saps the power of breaking waves...." - Larry Pardey. "One of the reasons I wanted to sail east-to-west around Cape Horn was to take video shots proving that small vessels can safely weather storms if they are well outfitted and efficiently handled," Larry Pardey stated after his record-breaking voyage. Lin and Larry completed their against-the-wind rounding of the Great Southern Capes on board their engineless 29-foot Taleisin, weathering nine days of storm-force winds to reach Puerto Montt in Chile. There they interviewed several high-latitude voyagers, prepared the narrative, and shot further detailed footage to complete the Storm Tactics video, a project Lin and Larry conceived almost ten years ago.
