The Saturday Night Massacre
Events happened rapidly, to say the least.
Sam Ervin, after talking to committee counsel Sam Dash and realizing that
the agreement Nixon had announced was not what he had agreed to, "exploded"
(in Emery's words; as usual, the basic source here is Fred Emery,
Watergate). But that's not all; Senator Stennis wasn't on board for what
Nixon had announced, either. Nixon's attempt to railroad them had backfired
already.
Nixon, in the newspapers that morning, argued that the crisis in the Middle
East meant that Watergate had to be put aside; Henry Kissinger, tha... more »

As Coast Guard crews were scouring the Louisiana coast looking for damage
from Tropical Storm Karen this week, they made a startling discovery: A tar
mat weighing 4,100 pounds, presumably remnants from the devastating BP
Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010.
Not as impressive as the 40,000 pound mat they found earlier but the

President Obama in the Oval Office, 10-17-13. [Pete Souza photo]
Secret wedding at the White House
Well, not exactly a secret but somehow they pulled it off without a media
circus in attendance. White House photographer Pete Souza got married in
the Rose Garden last night. I might not have mentioned it but I found this
bit about his bride fascinating.
In a story from January of this year in USA Today, Lease is described as a
"close friend" of Souza who gifted President Obama a Petoskey stone for his
50th birthday in 2011.
I had to look up Petoskey stone. It's a very cool bit of fossilized coral,
possibly 350 million years old. Obama keeps it on his desk. I would too.
Catching Up With New Hampshire-- Why Kuster Is Losing Support In The Bluer Of The Two Districts
Anne Kuster ran for Congress twice-- both times as a grassroots progressive
and both times with super-prioritized support from progressive
organizations both in New Hampshire and nationally, despite having worked
as a Big Pharma lobbyist. In 2010, she lost her first race, 48-47% against
conservative incumbent Charlie Bass. Two years later, in the 2012 rematch,
and with President Obama's coattails in play, Kuster beat Bass 50-46%. She
joined the Congressional Progressive Caucus and there were no obvious
reasons to think she wouldn't be the progressive champion she painted

Comrpehensible instruction AND peer-interaction
Re: "An English-plan outcry," October 20:
Sent to the LA Times, Oct 20
Both sides are right in the LAUSD debate over English development: Decades
of research tells us that we acquire language when we understand what we
hear and read. Our goal is thus to provide both comprehensible instruction
and peer interaction.
A solution is to provide ESL classes for beginners, while including these
students in classes that are highly comprehensible (PE, art, music).
Subjects that are harder to make comprehensible for beginners are taught in
the first language.

How big a deal is JP Morgan's 13 Billion settlement concerning mortgage related misconduct ? 4 Billion is non cash - relief to home owners which may be tax deductible . Of the 9 billion cash component , FDIC ( which has been resistant ) may be on the hook for 3.5 billion allegedly relating back to Washington Mutual mortgage securities. Kudos to Ed Demarco of FHFA , for putting and keeping his foot down as long as he could and who appears to have been a major driver of this overall settlement . And how many eyebrows will go up as the continuing issue of the conduct of Jamie Dimon keeps becoming part of the conversation regarding JP Morgan ? When litigation reserves rise to more than 28 billion and perhaps as high as 35 billion , does a Board of Directors with fiduciary duties finally wake up ? When you have a 2.4 billion bank hanging by its petard of a 75 trillion derivative book , does a Board of Directors with fiduciary duties finally wake up ? Does the Board of Directors with fiduciary duties finally wake up and take note of Jamie Dimon allegedly blowing up three times at central bankers ( Ben Bernanke , Mark Carney while the head of the Bank of Canada and the New York Fed ) and being dismissive to Regulators as if he personally was to big to fail ? Will Jamie finally be told he needs to spend more time with his family ?

So How Big a Deal is the Pending “$13 Billion” JP Morgan Settlement?
One of the big news stories of the weekend is that JP Morgan and the
Department of Justice, brokering a settlement of liability across multiple
Federal agencies, have reached a tentative $13 billion settlement on the
bank’s mortgage-related conduct in the run-up to the crisis. The terms have
not been finalized because a big open item is that JP Morgan will make an
admission of some so... more »
He's not the BBC's head of religion and ethics. He's a very naughty boy!

DID SAVILE MURDER 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL?
*Lindsay (right) and her brother.*
There is a suspicion that Sir Jimmy Savile murdered 13-year-old Lindsay Jo
Rimer.
Lindsay Jo Rimer disappeared in 1994 and her dead body was found in a canal
in 1995.
Lindsay Jo Rimer lived in *Hebden Bridge*, in West Yorkshire, in the UK.

Savile used to take holidays at *Cragg Vale* near to Lindsay's home.

shutdown cost the economy $24 billion over its 16-day stretch.
