"We Can't Wait" For the Media to Act Responsibly
By: Roger Aronoff
AIM Report
While the media largely continue to do their best to protect and defend the administration of President Barack Obama, there have been a number of recent examples indicating that such support can no longer be taken for granted. However, criticism remains the exception to the overall coverage, which has shown a reluctance to acknowledge any scandals by this administration, or any policy blunders.
If you go to WhiteHouse.gov, you will see "We Can't Wait" as one of the main features. Until recently, it said, "We Can't Wait on Congress. The Time to Act is Now." The message from the Obama administration is that they are trying to promote their jobs bill, and the Republican-led House is refusing to cooperate. So damn the separation of powers, they're going to enact their legislative priorities through executive orders and arbitrary actions. The liberal media are perfectly fine with this, because they largely support the Obama agenda. If not in every detail, at least they support the re-election of Barack Obama, so they're not going to make a fuss.
Obama Running Against Congress, Not on his Record
But the reality is that instead of running on his record as President, Obama is trying to run against what he is in essence calling "a do-nothing Congress." From January 2009 until January 2011, Obama had large majorities in the House and Senate, got his stimulus bill passed, ObamaCare, and a host of other bills that he brags about. What he failed to do, however, much of which upset his base, included passing or even pushing for comprehensive immigration reform and "Cap and Trade," closing Guantanamo, and ending the Bush tax cuts. In some cases it was because he didn't want the political heat, in others it was because he couldn't get enough Democrats to go along.
In the meantime, the House passed a budget in April that the Senate voted down in May, and the House has passed 15 bills that they call jobs bills, and the Senate hasn't voted on any of them. But it is in fact the Senate, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid, which has failed to fulfill its constitutional requirement of passing a budget, since April of 2009. So which chamber is the do-nothing Congress? If the Republican bills are so bad, the Senate should take pride in bringing them up for a vote and voting against them. That's how the process is supposed to work.
President Obama called Congress into session for his address to the joint session right after Labor Day, and introduced his so-called Jobs bill, which he knew had no chance of passing because it was full of tax hikes that Republicans believe will damage any economic recovery. It went down to defeat, including several Democrats and Independents who failed to vote for it. That is when Obama virtually announced his imperial presidency, outlining plans to circumvent Congress at every opportunity. He already had established his go-it-alone attitude by attempting to run much of his agenda through mostly unconfirmed and unaccountable "czars," of which there are now 45, according to a recent report by Judicial Watch.
Obama's demagoguing this issue while America and the world are on the brink of a catastrophic economic downfall is nothing short of deceitful, for the sake of short- term political gain.
While the media have been obsessing over the Republican presidential field and the Penn State sex scandal, they have largely ignored or completely downplayed numerous stories that reflect quite negatively on the Obama administration. These stories include serious scandals, and outrageous political decisions meant to help ensure his re-election. They are stories that deserve frequent coverage and discussion, rather than to be framed as partisan bickering, when they are covered at all. For the most part, they receive instead just a smattering of coverage, mostly excluding the sense of urgency and disdain they deserve. Here are a few examples.
The Scandals
Solyndra: Solyndra is a company in the solar panel business, that as part of the administration's green energy program, received more than half a billion dollars, and then went bankrupt. The signs and warnings were abundant that the business was doomed to fail. But a key investor was a major bundler for President Obama, and had made numerous visits to the White House in the period leading up to the loan approvals. The White House claims many of those visits were to discuss charities. When the House Energy and Commerce Committee issued subpoenas to the White House in early November for additional documents and emails as part of the committee's ongoing investigation, the White House said no. It had already provided over 80,000 pages, and that was enough. A few days later they announced they would turn over an additional 135 pages, but that was it. This battle will continue for a while.
But during the process, a new book came out, Throw Them All Out, by Peter Schweizer of The Heritage Foundation and Breitbart.com. Schweizer demonstrates that Solyndra is just the tip of the iceberg. He was featured on CBS's 60 Minutes and in Newsweek magazine with stories from the book. In an article about Schweizer's findings on Big Government, a Breitbart site, Wynton Hall pointed out that "At least ten members of President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign finance committee, plus more than a dozen of his campaign bundlers, benefited from sweetheart loans through the Department of Energy (DOE) that collectively dwarfed those given to Solyndra and Fisker [Automotive]." Schweizer also found that "80% of all $20.5 billion in Department of Energy loans went to President Obama's top donors." Schweizer says that the Obama administration may be guilty of "the greatest—and most expensive—example of crony capitalism in American history."
In a rare front-page story on Solyndra, The Washington Post, on November 15, reported that the Obama administration had asked Solyndra to "delay announcing it would lay off workers until after the hotly contested November 2010 midterm elections that imperiled Democratic control of Congress," according to newly released e-mails. Pay day for the top brass was not delayed, however. The Solyndra executives took substantial bonuses just before the company went bankrupt.
Operation Fast and Furious: I wrote a recent AIM Report about this scandal. Since then, Attorney General Eric Holder went back before a House committee to answer more questions, and to clear up some of his previous statements. It was a disastrous performance, in which he claimed not to have seen numerous emails addressed to him personally. He also claimed the discrepancy in the accounts of when he had heard about this scandal was insignificant. The government allowed weapons to be sold to gunrunners, and in some cases originally purchased them before reselling them. They claimed that the idea was to track these weapons as they fell into the hands of the competing gangs of the Mexican drug cartels. But the Mexican government was never informed, and hundreds of people have been killed by weapons that were part of the program. The dead included Border Agent Brian Terry and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Jaime Zapata.
No-bid contract for Siga: According to a report in The Los Angeles Times, the Obama administration "aggressively pushed a $433-million plan to buy an experimental smallpox drug, despite uncertainty over whether it is needed or will work." The article said that senior officials in the administration took "unusual steps" to make sure that Siga Technologies, a New York based company, secured the contract. The controlling shareholder of Siga is billionaire Ron Perelman, a major Democratic Party donor.
According to the Times, Siga complained that officials at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) were "resisting the company's financial demands." So those officials were replaced by more senior officials, who then blocked other firms from competing and awarded Siga a no-bid, or "sole-source," procurement.
More corruption at the DOE: The Office of the Inspector General issued a report on how well the Department of Energy has spent its stimulus dollars from the so-called Recovery Act. "You'll be delighted to know that more than a hundred criminal investigations were launched into Energy's handling of its mere 4% of the Obama stimulus," reported Human Events. "[Gregory] Friedman [the IG of DOE] says 'these involve various schemes, including the submission of false information, claims for unallowable or unauthorized expenses, and other improper uses of Recovery Act funds.' Five criminal prosecutions have resulted, and over $2.3 million in stolen 'stimulus' loot has been recovered."
One problem in all this is figuring out when a scandal is actually a scandal, and not just some partisan accusation. According to a blog post by Elspeth Reeve on The Atlantic Wire, part of The Atlantic magazine website, a scandal becomes a scandal "once the S-word is used in a reporter's own voice in a story that runs on the front page of the [Washington] Post." This is according to Dartmouth professor Brendan Nyhan, who said that "political scientists generally see The Washington Post as a solid indicator of elite opinion." Thus, according to these standards, neither Fast and Furious nor Solyndra rise to the level of scandal for the Obama administration. As a matter of fact they use this standard to argue that Obama has recently set the record for the most scandal-free days of any administration since 1977.
Dana Milbank, one of the Post star reporters who apparently subscribes to this nonsense watched the Fast and Furious hearing where Eric Holder testified. "Without a doubt, the operation was a debacle," wrote Milbank, "and it has led to untold bloodshed and friction with Mexico. The ATF's acting chief has been reassigned, and subpoenas are flying on Capitol Hill. But it has not reached the level of a political scandal." It got close when another Post reporter, Juliet Eilperin, called it a "controversy." Pretty harsh.
Policy Blunders
Pipeline from Canada: In at least this one instance, Obama's motto became "We can wait." Here he's referring to the Keystone XL Pipeline which offered the dual benefit of tens of thousands of good-paying jobs and help to solve our energy issues. The pipeline would transport 700,000 barrels a day of crude coming from Alberta, Canada into the U.S. But Obama chose to vote "present" on this one, and thought it better to not alienate the extreme environmentalists. He moved the decision making past next year's election and hoped no one would notice, or care. But he should know, "The whole world is watching."
Approval of Muslim Brotherhood involvement in new Arab governments: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech in early November in which she announced the Obama administration's lack of concern about the rise of Islamist parties throughout the Middle East. The Arab Spring has seen their power rise in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. Sec. Clinton told the National Democratic Institute (NDI) awards dinner that "what parties call themselves is less important than what they do." One of her aides said, "We're less concerned about whether Islamists win or lose than we are about whether democracy is winning or losing in the process."
Barry Rubin, the editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal, is very concerned about the implications of this speech by Ms. Clinton. He wrote, "The speech can be summarized as follows:
"Islamist regimes—at least those whose 'behavior' is proper—are good. If Islamists exercise political power they will be moderate. Thus, the United States will not merely tolerate but will actually support Islamists taking power."
He said that "The Obama Administration is now on the side of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizballah, and the Taliban ("moderate" wing).
Even before the acknowledgement on November 21 that the so-called Congressional supercommittee had to admit that it failed in its effort to come to an agreement on what they call "cutting spending" by $1.2 trillion over the next decade, many in the media were starting to become more critical of Obama over various issues. On that day, November 21, it seemed to be a sea change as journalists like Howard Fineman and David Gergen joined the chorus talking about how Obama had failed by not offering any leadership in the negotiations.
But these criticisms of Obama have been rare nuggets that one finds here and there. There is no sustained criticism in the mainstream media about corruption or incompetence or even lack of leadership. As much as he might frustrate them, they still want to see him re-elected.
Here are a few recent examples of the media taking Obama to task, from unlikely sources:
Mark Halperin wrote in the November 7th Time magazine, "Democrats on Capitol Hill privately display nearly as much disdain for the Administration as their GOP counterparts, complaining about both its incompetence and its ideology. Most of all, Obama now owns a weak economy and hasn't been able to generate his own luck."
From an October 31st editorial in The Los Angeles Times titled, "Obama's Secrets:" "One of the most disappointing attributes of the Obama administration has been its proclivity for secrecy. The president who committed himself to 'an unprecedented level of openness in government' has followed the example of his predecessor by invoking the 'state secrets' privilege to derail litigation about government misdeeds in the war on terror. He has refused to release the administration's secret interpretation of the Patriot Act, which two senators have described as alarming. He has blocked the dissemination of photographs documenting the abuse of prisoners by U.S. service members. And now his Justice Department has proposed to allow government agencies to lie about the existence of documents being sought under the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA."
The L.A. Times piece continues, saying the "policy is outrageous. It provides a license for the government to lie to its own people and makes a mockery of FOIA." And it concludes by saying that "The Justice Department should discard the rule and start over. And Obama should reread his pronouncements about transparent government."
Another example of criticism from the left came from Thomas Friedman of The New York Times, leading up to the deadline of the supercommittee. "Here we are in America again on the eve of a major budgetary decision by yet another bipartisan 'supercommittee,' and does anyone know what President Obama's preferred outcome is? Exactly which taxes does he want raised, and which spending does he want cut? The president's politics on this issue seems to be a bowl of poll-tested mush."
Politico carried a column titled "Bill Daley Unplugged," by Roger Simon. Daley is Obama's chief of staff, who came in to replace Rahm Emanuel who left to run for mayor of Chicago. Daley spoke out of turn, and reportedly as a result saw his job cut way back. New York magazine said he was demoted.
Daley said, "all President Obama has to do to achieve this [better economic times before the election] is make a startling end run around not just the Republicans but also the Democrats, in Congress.
He added, "On the domestic side, both Democrats and Republicans have really made it very difficult for the president to be anything like a chief executive," which "has led to a kind of frustration."
These comments have hurt Obama, who until recently knew he could count on just about everyone in the mainstream media to hold their tongues if they had anything to say that wasn't laudatory or could be used against Obama and his agenda. Unfortunately, this honest criticism is still a rare occurrence in the mainstream media.
Dear Fellow Media Watchdogs:
In this report I've cited several signs that indicate trouble ahead for President Obama. Several media figures who have adored him, and have been very supportive of his presidency have begun to feel emboldened to criticize him. It's more like tough love than switching sides, but taken together, it is significant nonetheless. Here are a couple more examples.
CNN's Anderson Cooper went after Obama recently when as part of his "We can't wait" campaign, Obama announced a new plan to allow people whose houses are worth less than their mortgages to refinance at lower rates if they have a good payment history.
But Cooper wasn't buying it. He said, "it's merely the latest in a long line of programs, 10 so far, that have not lived up to their promises. Not even close."
He then showed video of Obama saying that through a previous plan he had announced, "we will help between seven and nine million families…avoid foreclosure."
Cooper then pointed out that instead it ended up only helping about 1.6 million people. He added that "out of the $50 billion the Obama administration promised to spend to help homeowners, only a fraction, $2.4 billion has actually been spent."
CNN's White House correspondent Jessica Yellin stated that the homeowners most affected are people in hard-hit states such as Nevada, Arizona and Florida. She said, "there is a large part of this that is politics because these are the states the President does have to win in 2012."
And perhaps most surprising of all were recent comments by MSNBC's Chris Matthews. Matthews has been a harsh critic of the Tea Party and the entire Republican field seeking the GOP nomination. He famously said during the presidential campaign of 2008 that he "felt this thrill going up my leg" following an Obama speech.
But in a recent interview, Matthews expressed his frustration with Obama's presidency, before falling back in line. It was his harshest criticism to date:
"There's nothing to root for. What are we trying to do in this administration? Why does he want a second term? Would he tell us? What's he going to do in his second term, more of this? Is this it? Is this as good as it gets? Where are we going?
"He has not said one thing about what he'd do in his second term. He never tells what he's going to do with reforming our healthcare systems, Medicare, Medicaid, how he's going to reform Social Security. Is he going to deal with longterm debt? How? Is he going to reform the tax system? How? Just tell us," he said.
Matthews then reverted to form. Sort of. "Just tell us, Commander. Give us our orders and tell us where we're going. Give us the mission. And he hasn't done it."

Obama campaigned for "change" & he has delivered – a severe change for the worst economic, political & societal discontent since the last depression. He will not say what he wants to do for his 2nd term, because he wants to go to war with Iran. America does not want that politically or economically. He wants another war or crisis to further usurp what's left of our liberties. In Obama's own words America needs to "reset" it's relationship with the presidency, congress & the senate by voting everyone of these corrupt, incompetent, morally deficient public leaches out of office.
I will definetely (sic) be at the event, for sure! I'll be there, too. Definitely. (from Latin, de + fitunis)The most efficent if not easiest way to chase the career vermin in Washingon, D.C. off the proverbial cliff is to show that Obama has no lawful claim to the Office of the President. That defining act voids every law, every executive order, and every appointment Obama has brought into being. His use of the U.S. military for killing and destruction would expose Obama to direct civil and criminal culpability for those actions. The immunity of Office would not obtain. Revealing Obama as a non natural born U.S. citizen obliterates his standing as a U.S Senator, too. Therefore, his every vote cast in the Senate is null and void. If any bill there passed by just one vote (Obama's vote) and then became law, it's arguable that the law in question is now null and void. Those who knew beforehand of Obama's illegitimacy to hold Office and assisted in the cover up would presumably be guilty of a criminal conspiracy not to mention that Obama would be guilty of monumental fraud just for starters. The boy could spend many years in in a small cell contemplating his deceit. Obama's high-profile supporters and sycophants would be thoroughly tarnished, as well. How could they show their faces again? The People would likely rise up against Washington, D.C. in a manner not seen since 1812. No question. Exposing the Obama fraud is a Win Win for America and the U.S. Constitution!

Iowa gets C+ in State Accountibility Project
By By Stephen J Berry, IowaWatch Staff, and Gazette Staff | March 18, 2012

Iowa's public records law, in the words of former Cedar Rapids Gazette reporter Steven R. Reed, "is robust in appearance."
In substance, however, that's not the case. The Iowa code carries 65 exemptions in the public records law, all of them added over time.
That section on exemptions is the longest, most detailed and substantive part of that chapter of the code.
Even with the exemptions, enforcement is rare when there is a violation, and the obstacles citizens confront when they try to appeal a denial are considerable, Reed notes.
Reed, an editor and reporter for 41 years, did a package of stories for The Gazette in March 2011 that examined Iowa public records law and practices. He was manager of investigative and enterprise content for SourceMedia, the Gazette's parent organization, until he left in December.
Iowa public officials have created a government that keeps a sizable portion of its operations shut off from public scrutiny, according to a comprehensive study of government openness and susceptibility to corruption by a team of 13 journalists working for IowaWatch.org, the news website of The Iowa Center for Public Affairs Journalism, and The Gazette.
This article is published with the reports on the other49 states on the website of State Integrity Investigation: Keeping Government Honest, a collaborative project of the Center for Public Integrity, Global Integrity and Public Radio International. (Read the national story here.)
Using a list of 330 indicators of vulnerability to corruption and the same detailed criteria to guide their scoring decisions, dozens of reporters from the nation's 50 states delved deep into the laws and practices in 14 segments of governmental operations. The Gazette and IowaWatch.org in Iowa City teamed up to cover Iowa.
Iowa ranked seventh in the survey, scoring 78 – a C+.
Courtesy of The Gazette
The project employs a method to systematically gauge governments' vulnerability and to allow comparisons among states. Moreover, it will allow comparisons among the states. To examine these practices, project managers provided reporters with specific criteria to use in scoring the indicators of corruptibility.
Iowa, with 3 million residents, scored well on laws dealing with openness and vulnerability to corruption but not so well when it comes to open records.
Of the state's 14 governmental operations, only its nonpartisan, professionally developed decennial redistricting system received a perfect 100. The executive branch, which includes the office of the governor and its various departments, scored 81 points, while the state's internal auditing process and the state pension fund management each received high scores for transparency.
Unlike the federal government and most states, Iowa has minimal or no limits on campaign contributions. It does do a good job of disclosing what people give and listing contributions online. Although campaign finance practices drew a score of 74, eight of 19 questions about campaign finance laws received negative answers to questions about whether laws limit contributions.
Public records not so public
Iowa's public records law and practices came in last among the state's 14 operations with a score of 47 – giving it an F for that category and a ranking of 39th in the nation. Two of four indicator questions about laws drew negative answers.
The implication that Iowa's access law is ineffective drew criticism Friday from Attorney General Tom Miller's spokesman, Geoff Greenwood.
"We respectfully disagree with the premise by you and/or the report that Iowa's 'right of access to information is ineffective'," Greenwood said.
Recently, signs of public discontent with government secrecy have emerged. About two-thirds of the respondents in a September 2011 poll commissioned by the Iowa Freedom of Information Council and released in late January believe government should be more open in making records available and holding meetings. The same percentage believes the Legislature should create a board to enforce the public records and public meetings laws.
The 2012 Legislature is considering such a measure, SF 430, which would create an independent executive branch agency with a full-time attorney and advisory board. The Senate has already passed it, and the House government committee approved it last week 20-3, setting the stage for a possible floor vote this week.
Greenwood said the attorney general's office is "neutral"on the bill.
State Rep. Vicki Lensing, D-Iowa City, who favored a different version that would have made the agency part of the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board, said Friday she would support the bill if assured the new agency would be put where its independence from other offices could be assured.
Lensing said she was not surprised at Iowa's low score and national ranking in the State Integrity Investigation Report.
Already loaded with exemptions, Iowa's law gives citizens almost no help when government denies their records request. A state ombudsman can investigate denials or records requests, but the office has no power to force compliance.
The percentage of citizens who experience unreasonable delays across the state is unquantifiable. The data is not reported by any agency.
Lensing and Greenwood said they are aware of only a few complaints from citizens over the past several years. Lensing said most complaints she hears come from news organizations.
Sen. Jeff Danielson, D-Cedar Falls, differs.
Jeff Danielson, State Senator, Senate District 10
"There's a whole sea of frustration in Iowa from citizens trying to get access to the information they need," he said in remarks to an Iowa Senate State Government subcommittee on Feb. 24, 2011. "Iowans still wonder why officials still say 'no' to them when they ask for documents."
The state attorney general has the power to investigate and prosecute or take civil action for public records violations, but rarely does.
The office usually relies on phone-call persuasion, Assistant Attorney General John McCormally said. "Sometimes we think, 'Boy, a district court action, which is what this is, is such a big stick, and our office in particular carries such clout, maybe there's a better way to solve this than filing action in district court.'"
Citizens who have been denied access to public records have no recourse except the courts, because the attorney general and county attorneys don't enforce the law, said Kathleen Richardson, director of Drake University's School of Journalism and Mass Communication and executive secretary of the Iowa Freedom of Information Council.
That's an expensive proposition, she added.
Kathleen Richardson/Source: Drake University
No state or local agency is responsible for monitoring compliance with the records law, she wrote in an email.
Greenwood argues there is enforcement and describes Richardson's statement as "disappointing" and a "blanket claim." He says the attorney general's office has taken a few enforcement actions over the past several years through legally binding "assurance of voluntary compliance" agreements.
He said his office and has worked with the Iowa Ombudsman's office to resolve complaints informally.
The law's reach doesn't encompass the legislature, which exempted itself from its provisions – similar to Congress, which exempted itself from the federal Freedom of Information law. The Iowa Senate once refused to provide records of long-distance phone calls made at taxpayers' expense, and the state Supreme Court upheld the refusal.
Civil service system not great
The state's civil service management system did a little better than its public records regime, but not much.
Caleb Hunter
Civil servants convicted of corruption are still eligible for state employment. Also, the law doesn't require independent auditing of financial disclosures by senior members of the civil service workforce. If state employees uncover wrongdoing, they have no access to a hotline, email address or other means to report corruption. Caleb Hunter, spokesperson for the Department of Administration, said Friday such a system would not be opposed in his office, but he said it was matter for the governor or legislature.
The government is still defending itself in court against a suit filed by 6,000 African-American job applicants or employees alleging the state failed to hire or promote them despite their strong qualifications.
The administration of Gov. Terry Branstad has acknowledged problems in hiring practices occurred in past administrations. Also, between 2000 and 2006, the state paid about $850,000 to nine people who claimed discrimination.
Branstad also hasn't hesitated to appoint his favorites to career positions. Hunter defended the action, saying, "The governor can hire people he trusts and believes in." He says they also go through a legislative confirmation process.
When Branstad took office, he followed recent tradition and asked for the resignation of 30 department heads. One of those, Chris Godfrey, Iowa's workers' compensation commissioner, refused to quit.
Governor Terry Branstad
In summer 2011, the governor slashed his pay by $36,000. In January 2012, Godfrey sued for $1 million, alleging harassment, defamation, extortion and sexual discrimination. (He is openly gay.) Branstad's office has denied discriminating against Godfrey, saying his job performance prompted the action. The case is pending.
Court system's openness questioned
The Iowa judiciary scored a middling 76 points for openness. That may come as a surprise to many in the court system.
For decades, the Iowa judiciary has enjoyed a reputation as one of the most progressive in the country, having returned numerous cutting-edge decisions ranging from granting civil rights to African Americans decades ago to marriage rights to same-sex couples in 2009. In 2010, Iowa voters decided the state Supreme Court had gone too far with its unanimous ruling on same-sex marriage. When three of the justices had to stand for election in November under Iowa's retention system, voters booted them.
The judiciary gets low marks for the formal evaluation of judges, online availability of court documents and certain auditing practices.
Rebecca Coulton, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Judicial Branch, said Friday Iowa doesn't give access to evaluations because a
systematic evaluation process is not in place. "The idea has been considered, but right now, there is no formal proposal to evaluate judges," she said.
But it gets high marks because the system is transparent and accountable in the selection of judges, disciplinary actions and judicial conduct.
Judges and justices are nominated by the State Judicial Nominating Commission, which consists of equal numbers of lawyers and non-lawyers. After their first term, they seek election through a retention vote.
Ethics enforcement and disciplinary actions fall under the Judicial Qualifications Commission.
The judiciary's overall score in the study suffered, because it does not provide online access to all court records, to evaluations of judges or to material about a judge's assets. Pilot projects for providing all court records online are under way in three counties – Plymouth, Story and Sioux. But completion of efforts to convert Iowa courts to a paperless system is not imminent, Coulton said.
The system does get high marks for putting appellate court decisions online.
The State Court Administrator's Office checks to ensure all judges file an annual disclosure statement, but state law doesn't provide a process for routine audits of personal financial disclosure statements.
Iowa State Supreme Court
Lobbyists' reports lacking
Lobbyists generally have enviable access to the halls of power, and disclosure requirements earn this area of oversight 85 points.
But requiring more detailed and regular lobbying reports would help show whether Iowa lobbyists are adhering to ethical and legal requirements.
Iowa Code has a broad definition of "lobbyist" and requires annual registration for paid lobbyists and state employees who lobby on behalf of their agency. Both legislative and executive branch lobbyists are included in state requirements.
In 2010, the legislature released lobbyists from a requirement to file annual compensation reports.
Now the reporting is left mostly to the clients, who must report how much they spend, including payments to lobbyists. However, these reports are only filed once a year and do not itemize the payments.
Lobbyist registrations, client reports and lobbyist function reports are all available for free online.
Lobbyist reports are not audited regularly, but the House and Senate ethics committees may ask for an audit if they decide to investigate a lobbyist.
The House of Representatives' chief clerk and the Senate's secretary review them for completeness and timeliness but do not investigate the payments by requiring receipts and other supporting documents.
A complex state budget process
The budget process is among the most difficult to understand, earning it a score of 67. In April 2010, a Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) national study of online access to state budget processes gave Iowa and 17 other states an F.
Part of the problem is the format used.
Although the citizens can examine the state budget online, it's format isn't comprehensive and searching for items is cumbersome. The state legislature last spring passed a law to put the budget into a searchable database.
David Roederer, director of Iowa's Department of Management, said the project is underway, and that it will be an ongoing process as it is updated and upgraded. He said the budget can be confusing, because the legislature does not have a consistent budget pattern from year to year or from one fund to another.
Iowa does a little better in providing public access during the budget-making process.
The governor's office conducts public hearings to develop the budget proposal. Although budget hearings are sparsely attended, the public has online access to their schedules.
The Legislature also has access to a bipartisan Fiscal Committee, which is comprised of legislators and is supposed to keep track of how state funds are spent. But it has met only once since 2007. The Fiscal Services Division of the Legislative Services Agency, however, completes numerous reports on state funding and makes them available to the committee.

Evans: There's Judicial Activism You Like — And Dislike
One of the most contentious issues in the Iowa Legislature this year involved the way the state's judges are chosen.
That process was established 57 years ago when voters amended the Iowa Constitution. It's worth noting that Republicans held solid majorities then in the Iowa House and Iowa Senate.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to chat with Hear 2 Zen, what have you been up to today? Thanks for having us! Despite us being in lockdown, we're actually keeping superrr busy. Today we were creating a lot of content, zoom-calling and messaging each other almost every hour, planning for the week ahead and finally having some time off for ourselves at the end of the day (which is OBVIOUSLY very important and a bit time-consuming..)

Tyritáke
Τυριτάκη (in Ancient Greek)
Shown within Crimea
Kerch, Autonomous Republic of Crimea/Republic of Crimea, Ukraine/Russia
50 ha (120 acres)
Settlers from Miletus
7th or 6th century BC
Approximately 370 AD
Archaic Greek
Tyritáke (Greek: Τυριτάκη) was an ancient Greek town of the Bosporan Kingdom, situated in the eastern part of Crimea, about 11 km to the south from Panticapaeum. It is tentatively identified with the ruins in the Kerch district of Kamysh-Burun (Arshintsevo), on the shore of the Cimmerian Bosporus.
There are only few short mentions about Tyritake in ancient literary sources (Stephanus of Byzantium, Ethnika 642, 12; Pseudo - Aelius Herodianus, De prosodia catholica 315.12; Claudius Ptolemy, Geography 3.6.3.2; Ps. Arrian, Periplous Ponti Euxini 50,9 and Gaius Plinius Secundus, NH 4, 86-87 who names the city as Dia). First serious excavations, started in 1932 (headed by J. Marti) and have been followed in 1946-1957 by great Bosporan Expedition headed by prof. V. Gaidukievich. In 70s and 80s the territory of Tyritake was excavated by an expedition from the Kerch Museum headed by D. Kirilin and O. Shevelev and since 2000 the project "Bosporan City Tyritake" directed by prof. V. Zin'ko. In 2008 the Polish Archaeological Mission Tyritake of National Museum in Warsaw, with Alfred Twardecki as director, joined the project.
All these archaeological projects were able to establish that the colony, founded about the mid-6th century BC, specialized in crafts and viticulture. In the first centuries AD, fishing and wine production became the economical mainstay of the town. Tyritake was sacked by the Goths in the 3rd century AD and again in the 4th century by the Huns, but a settlement on the site continued into the Middle Ages.

Where in India do women wear headscarves in public?
Why do Indians tie turban on their head?
What do Muslims call turban headdress?
Hijab, niqab, burka – there are lots of different kinds of coverings worn by Muslim women all over the world. Some women wear a headscarf to cover their head and hair, while others wear a burka or niqab, which also covers up their face.
Followers of various religions wear special head coverings to express their faith and show humility and dignity. Yarmulkes, mitras, veils and turbans are made of a great variety of materials.
Do Hindu people cover their hair?
A majority of Indian women overall also say they keep the practice of covering their head outside their home, including especially high shares of Muslim (89%) and Sikh women (86%) who do this. A smaller majority of Hindu women (59%) cover their heads.
ghoonghat
A ghoonghat (ghunghat, ghunghta, ghumta, orhni, laaj, chunari, jhund, kundh) is a headcovering or headscarf, worn primarily in the Indian subcontinent, by some married Hindu, Jain, and Sikh women to cover their heads, and often their faces.
Wearing turbans is common among Sikhs, including women. It is also worn by Hindu monks. The headgear also serves as a religious observance, including among Shia Muslims, who regard turban-wearing as Sunnah mu'akkadah (confirmed tradition). The turban is also the traditional headdress of Sufi scholars.
What is Sikh turban called?
For religious reasons, practicing Sikhs do not cut their hair. Sikh men wrap their long hair with a turban called a pagri (see photo a), a practice that typically takes 10- 15 minutes. Sikh boys wrap their hair in a smaller under-turban called a patka, with their hair knotted on top of their head (photo b).
The mark is known as a bindi. And it's a Hindu tradition that dates to the third and fourth centuries. The bindi is traditionally worn by women for religious purposes or to indicate that they're married. But today the bindi has also become popular among women of all ages, as a beauty mark.
What do Indian turbans mean?
In South Asian culture, wearing a turban typically indicated one's social status – kings and rulers once wore turbans. The Sikh gurus adopted the turban, in part, to remind Sikhs that all humans are sovereign, royal and ultimately equal.
Nope. Sikhs are supposed to keep their heads covered when in public. Accordingly, I don't wear mine when I sleep and not in the shower, especially since it's not waterproof. Actually, flowing water can be fatal to a tied turban.
Both women and men may wear turbans. Like the articles of faith, Sikhs regard their turbans as gifts given by their beloved gurus, and their meaning is deeply personal. In South Asian culture, wearing a turban typically indicated one's social status – kings and rulers once wore turbans.
Can unmarried girls wear bindi?
In Maharashtra, Gujarat, the Punjab and some southern states, girls choose to wear a bindi, while in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and Assam, it is a mandatory practice of the married woman to adorn a red bindi, though unmarried girls can also wear it.
There aren't any religious meanings associated with a given turban color. A person can wear any color turban they like — and even prints! Some colors like orange, blue, and white are traditionally worn during religious celebrations or occasions. Red is traditionally worn during Sikh weddings.
The practice is especially common in the largely Hindi-speaking regions in the Northern, Central and Eastern parts of the country. In the states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, roughly nine-in-ten women say they wear head coverings in public.
When was the first headgear worn in India?
This swashbuckling, masculine headgear has been evidenced to be worn in the Indian subcontinent since the dawn of the Harappan Civilisation in the early 4th Millennium BC.
Well, turban is tied not for the sake of fashion, but because it has a lot of significance in the lives of Indians. The hair turban is a headdress that basically consists of a long piece of un-stitched cloth, which is wrapped around the head. The hair turban used in India is usually 5 meters in length.
Muslims call turban "imamah". Most of the scholars in Muslim countries wear turban. Thus, it is considered an important headdress amongst the Muslims. Infact, even the men of honor and other eminent persons in the Muslim community wear turbans.

There better be some sugar in the clear liquid in that bottle, boy, or you're coming downtown.
No. It can't be the lead we all drank for so many years that's making people think this way. Lead impairs learning, and this sort of thing just has to be learned. With an uncountable infinity of stupid ideas out there, the odds are against any one person thinking up something so retarded on their own. It would be a cosmically unlikely confluence of random events for 39% of the population to do so.
No; we all know that a hidden hand, a hidden mover, pulls these strings. Get your flaming torches and pitchforks ready, because I am about to name names.
Clearly the fundamentalist religious bigots at the United Church have been at work, spreading their hideous doctrines through our schools and media. It has gotten to the point where 39% of the population apes their nonsense -- most without even realizing its provenance.
It is time for the United Church and its dupes to learn to respect the rights of atheists and others who don't kowtow to their outdated, authoritarian, patriarchal theology. Hands off our bodies! Hands off our right to choose!


Most GLAS events take place in either the Aula at the Collège des Coudriers (Avenue de Joli-Mont 15), just across the street from the Balexert shopping mall, or the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Geneva close to Place Bourg-du-Four (20 Rue Verdaine, 1204 Geneva). See the maps below.
Tickets can be paid for and picked up from 30 minutes before the performance begins. Drinks, sandwiches and snacks are available in the lobby before the performance and also during the interval (for shows that include one). The famous GLAS raffle is an integral part of the evening's entertainment – tickets are sold before the show and during the interval.
The church is easily accessible by public transport. Bus 8, 9 or 25 from Cornavin station to Hotel Metropole or to Rive, then walk 5 minutes; or bus 5 from Cornavin to Palais Eynard, cross the main road and walk into the old town, Place du Bourg-de-Four.
Parking during the week is very limited in the Old Town area. The underground garages of 'St. Antoine' or 'Parking Rive' are the closest.
The closest bus stop, a 3-5 minute walk from the venue, is "Pailly-Balexert", served by the 10 bus from Rive via Cornavin Station to Geneva Airport.
"Bouchet" is about a 10 minute walk from the venue and is served by the 14 and 18 trams as well as buses 10 and 22.
It is also possible to park at the Collège.
The closest tram stop is Grange Canal, a two minute walk from the campus entrance. The No. 12 tram runs regularly from the city centre (just four stops from Rive). The Centre des Arts will be signposted from the main entrance.
Limited parking will be available in the carpark next to the main campus entrance. Public transport is recommended.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive, neurological disorder, which is treated mainly with drug therapy. It can affect all activities of a person's life, including talking, walking, swallowing, and writing. It occurs when cells in the part of the brain that controls movement are lost. These cells produce dopamine, a chemical messenger that enables people to perform smooth co-ordinated movements.
It is not known why the cells that produce dopamine die. Once 80% of these cells have been destroyed the symptoms of Parkinson's will occur. Symptoms include shaking, muscle stiffness, and slowness of movement. There is no known cure.
Approximately 120,000 people in the UK have Parkinson's, one in 500 of the general population. This increases to one person in 100 over the age of 65 and one in 50 over the age of 80.
10,000 people are diagnosed each year. Most people are diagnosed over the age of 60, but it is estimated that one in 20 are under 40 when diagnosed.
Each person with Parkinson's is different, and the ability to perform movements may differ from one day to the next. Parkinson's has a dramatic effect on a person's quality of life. It can affect everything they do, from getting out of bed in the morning to hugging and kissing a partner, or even being able to smile at them.
Drug treatment for Parkinson's, to restore the level of dopamine in the brain, is very effective initially. In the long-term drug treatment results in severe side effects, which can include confusion, hallucinations, and fluctuations in the ability to perform movements.
Much more work is needed to help improve the treatment offered to people with Parkinson's.

Miss Agnes H Hunter's Trustscotgrant-admin2018-06-11T13:25:30+00:00
47-2 Queen Charlotte Street Edinburgh Scotland EH6 7EY GB
The Agnes Hunter Trust was established in 1954 to support registered charities delivering health and social welfare projects in Scotland. Following a policy review in 2018, the Trust's grant policy now focuses on two key areas of funding support:
Charities that help disabled people.
Charities that assist with the education and training of disadvantaged people aged 16 years or over who have left school.
The Trust will invest in registered charities that deliver key services to these individuals in Scotland; removing barriers that restrict life choices and enabling people to lead fulfilling lives and contribute to society.
Such charities may assist specific groups of people, for example those living with learning disabilities, mental ill health, specific types of cancer, cerebral palsy, autism, visual or physical impairments. Disadvantaged people includes those whose life experiences or environment have so far denied them opportunities to develop the skills to support themselves and contribute positively to society.
The Trust now operates one Main Grants Programme (grants over £3,000) and applications must be submitted via the online forms.
Further details on funding priorities, restrictions and how to apply can be found at http://www.agneshunter.org.uk.

COVER STORY (pages 26–32)
Can Texas' Physicians Be as Diverse as Texas?
The United States and Texas have a chronic shortage of doctors, but the shortage of minority physicians is even more acute. To address this, and the health disparities that come with it, Texas medical schools are working to increase minority enrollment, but challenges remain. By Sean Price
PRACTICE MANAGEMENT (pages 35–42)
Getting Into Urgent Care
Many primary care physicians opt to open "urgent care" facilities or add urgent care services to their practices. Although there are advantages — such as billing and appointment scheduling flexibility — there are headaches as well. By Sean Price
ECONOMICS (pages 45–50)
Politicians have long touted giving consumers the ability to buy health insurance across state lines as part of health care reform. Several states have passed laws of their own allowing interstate sales, but health plan action on those has been minimal. What is the potential impact in Texas if interstate health plan sales were to become more of a reality? By Joey Berlin
QUALITY (pages 53–58)
Build Your Own Payment Model
Physicians participating in MACRA have a unique opportunity to create and submit their own alternative payment models to the government and take command of their own future payments. At least one Texas physician is taking a crack at developing his own model. By Joey Berlin

Operation Iron Fist
Operation Kabda Bil Hadid
On October 1, 2005 a force consisting of approximately 1,000 Marines, Soldiers and Sailors from Regimental Combat Team-2 launched Operation Iron Fist, or Kabda Bil Hadid in Arabic. The goal of the operation was to disrupt the insurgent activity based out of Sadah, a town in the al Anbar province located 12 km from the Syrian border. The Iron Fist offensive is part of Operation Hunter, a larger operation to deny insurgents the ability to operate out of the Euphrates River Valley.
Insurgents were achieving increased mobility and control of the region as a result of a campaign of violence and intimidation against the local population and the town's government officials. This permitted the insurgents to utilize Sadah as a staging base for attacks against civilians as well as coalition and Iraqi Security forces.
Operation Iron Fist also aimed to stem the flow of foreign fighters from the Syrian border to create a secure environment for the constitutional referendum that took place on October 15, 2005.
Coalition forces engaged the insurgents with the support of helicopters from the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, killing eight armed insurgents in the early fighting. Insurgents countered by driving two vehicles towards the Marine position, dismounting, and opening fire with small arms. One of the vehicles was rigged with explosives, and four of the attackers were killed while the fifth surrendered.
Later in the day, Marines discovered and destroyed a roadside bomb and a single round from the main gun of a M1A1 Main Battle Tank was used to destroy a car bomb. At a U.S. forces checkpoint three insurgents were killed after firing upon the troops.
Insurgents also targeted an AH-1W Super Cobra helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade launched from a vehicle. The helicopter returned fire with missiles and destroyed the vehicle, killing the assailant, and then destroyed an accompanying vehicle that had been carrying additional RPGs.
As fighting continued on to the second day, Marine aircraft engaged insurgents west of Sadah, killing four and forcing the remaining three to flee into a nearby building containing additional insurgent fighters. Aircraft were then used to attack the building.
In an incident around noon on October 2, insurgents forcibly entered a civilian building and began to fire at Coalition troops. Marines resorted to firing a round from an M1A1 tank into the building which injured five civilians, four of whom were treated for minor injuries while the fifth was evacuated to Baghdad.
Other activity during the operation included a suicide car bomber who prematurely detonated his vehicle as well as an insurgent attack with RPGs and small arms fire. When Marines returned fire they killed eight insurgents.
On October 5, a section of M1A1 Abrams tanks supporting military infantry under small-arms attack in Karabilah killed two insurgents. On the same day, east of Karabilah, insurgents fired upon Marines from positions inside buildings. Seven insurgents were killed after aviation assets were called in to destroy the buildings.
Coalition aircraft were also employed to drop four precision-guided bombs on an abandoned hotel in Husavbah on Oct. 5. The three-story hotel had been used by insurgents to stage attacks and store weapons and 20 insurgents were killed in the strike.
The operation was concluded on Oct. 6 after establishing new outposts in Sadah to maintain a presence in the area and conduct ongoing operations to stem the flow of foreign fighters entering from Syria. Coalition forces reported that more than 50 insurgents were killed.

There were audible screams in the basement bar on Waverly Place. Zach Miller had caught a perfect Trubisky toss in the end zone but nobody seemed to notice anything but his leg. My God, his leg. On replay it was even worse. Maybe it was shown a third time on television, maybe it wasn't. I wouldn't know. I wasn't watching. I went to the toilet, disgusted.
When I came out of the bathroom, Miller's season was over and somehow the NFL had determined they had enough visual data to overturn the touchdown. Not sure which of the two sickened me more.
The Zach Miller Touchdown illuminated everything currently dragging down this great sport and formerly great league.
Forget about anthem protests. They'll be a thing of memory in a few months. Forget about declining ratings. Television ratings are plummeting everywhere, and will continue to as cable companies lose their monopolistic grip on home entertainment. Forget about head injuries and CTE. People will always play this game and people will always watch.
What will bring the league down?

Haruhi Suzumiya / Tropes J to N
HaruhiSuzumiya
Create New - Create New - Analysis Characters FanficRecs FanWorks Fridge Haiku Headscratchers ImageLinks Laconic PlayingWith Quotes Recap ReferencedBy Synopsis Timeline Trivia WMG YMMV
Tropes A to E | Tropes F to I | Tropes J To N | Tropes O to S | Tropes T to Z |
Haruhi Suzumiya provides examples of the following tropes:
Jerkass: Haruhi in the beginning of the series. Until...
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: What Haruhi eventually matures into.
Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: A Gambit Pileup, Stable Time Loop and Love Dodecahedron form around a Wrong Genre Savvy Ontological Mystery title character and an Unreliable Narrator protagonist who doesn't really understand what's going on (or does he?). Said narrator relays most of the background information and interpretation from a Mr. Exposition who nobody completely believes or trusts.
Joshikousei: In the book, Kyon wonders if the principal has a fetish for this, since male students wear blazers and ties, but girls wear the more traditional sailor uniform. Ironically, the real school North High is based on features the opposite uniform configuration, with militaresque gakuran for boys and parochial-style uniforms for girls.
Just Eat Gilligan: In Sigh, Kyon repeatedly suggests doing this to Haruhi to solve the problem.
Kyon: Can't we just knock Haruhi out until the festival is over?
Kansai Regional Accent: Notable for its absence — the series is set in Nishinomiya , on Osaka bay, in between Osaka and Kobe, home of the Hanshin Tigers , etc. As the creator of the series was born and raised in Nishinomiya, it's not surprising he'd want to avoid the usual grossly exaggerated, stereotypical Kansai accent heard in most anime. This can also be excused by the fact that Kyon is an Unreliable Narrator; he could easily be rendering everyone's dialect (including his own) as Standard Japanese, just because.
Keep It Foreign: "Why?" -> "naze?"
Kick the Dog: Haruhi, obviously. Most famously, the blackmailing of the computer club president. Some people don't find the molestation of Mikuru very funny, either. In the novels, Haruhi actually punched Mikuru on the head several times because her contact lens didn't fly out like in stories. She nearly gets hit by one really (and understandably) upset Kyon, but Koizumi restrained him.
Knife Nut: Ryoko Asakura.
Lampshade Hanging: Where to begin? Among the popular Japanese media tropes, if it isn't lampshaded, then it was probably invoked by Haruhi.
Language of Magic: Sped up and backwards played SQL queries.
Layman's Terms: Particularly in the Drama CD. Kyon is fond of asking for his companions' Infodumps to be rendered in words he can understand, though he's generally good at getting the gist of things.
Leeroy Jenkins: Haruhi behaves this way when they play a LAN game against the Computer Club.
Lemony Narrator: Kyon, especially in the novels.
Lighter and Softer: While the main series is relatively light in tone, The Vanishing Of Yuki-chan takes it even further — it takes the world of Disappearance (with no aliens, time travel or psychic powers) and normalises it (no threat of it being remade). It also makes Kyon less snarky and cynical, Asakura isn't a Knife Nut Psycho Lesbian, and Haruhi is pushy and abrupt rather than sociopathic. The entire series is a romantic comedy between Yuki and Kyon.
Light Novels: The anime is based on them and so far covers the first four of eleven and some chapters from 5 and 6.
Limited Wardrobe: Yuki. Eventually Kyon picks up that maybe she just likes her school uniform.
Little Miss Almighty: Haruhi, or maybe not.
Little Stowaway: Kyon's sister tries this when the SOS brigade goes on vacation, but she gets caught in an instant. In the novels, she has to stay home, but in the anime they ultimately allow her to go with them.
Locked Out of the Loop:
There's a lot of things Haruhi doesn't know about herself and the other members of the SOS Brigade.
The Time Travel arcs often leave Mikuru in a similar position. Kyon, Yuki, and Future Mikuru all know what she needs to do and why, but they can't tell Mikuru 'cos of paradoxes.
Kyon himself seems to be left out of a lot of the secret meetings between Yuki, Itsuki, and Mikuru.
Locked Room Mystery:
"Remote Island Syndrome."
Done again with Where Did The Cat Go?, the murder mystery that was supposed to be the main excitement during the Snow Mountain Syndrome trip.
Lost Him in a Card Game: Haruhi bets Mikuru during "The Day of Sagittarius." When the Computer Club President is taken aback by this, she offers Yuki instead. And when Kyon protests her willingness to wager other people, she relents and offers herself — an offer which the Computer Club president very much rejects...
Lonely Bachelor Pad: Yuki Nagato has one. Kyon comments on how empty the places feels and ask himself if Yuki feels the same way as her apartment. Before the series started, Yuki spent years quietly sitting in the middle of the room waiting for something to happen.
Love Letter Lunacy: in the short story Charmed at First Sight LOVER, Kyon transcribes a (hilariously melodramatic) love note from an old classmate to Yuki. Unfortunately, when he's done reading it, he tosses it out the window—just as Haruhi is passing by. Or as Kyon puts it in helpful question-and-answer format:
Q: What was written on that piece of paper?
A: A confession of love for Nagato.
Q: Whose handwriting was on the paper?
A: My handwriting.
Q: What would a stranger think if he had read this?
A: He'll probably misunderstand.
Q: Then what would Haruhi be thinking if she read it?
A: I don't even want to know.
Lotus-Eater Machine:
The Alternate Universe in Disappearance seems to be like this for Kyon, but gets subverted when he goes into a panic over the one good thing it had over the real world — that is, the SOS-Dan.
Further played with in that a couple days without any leads finds Kyon falling back into routine, and it takes a further shock to snap him out of it.
Lyrical Dissonance: The song "God Knows". The song is awesome, but the upbeat sound is overlayed with lyrics about a girl's love for/attempts to reach out to a man who's on the brink of despair.
MacGuffin Super Person: Itsuki Koizumi plays this role in "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina". Yuki Nagato wants to steal his hidden esper powers, and the eponymous Mikuru Asahina is charged to protect Itsuki.
Macross Missile Massacre: Kyon on a bike with fireworks, in "Endless Eight".
Magical Incantation: See below.
Magic from Technology: Yuki's incantations in SQL.
Male Gaze:
Really confusing when used on Yuki's chest in Disappearance.
The pool scene in the 7th Endless Eight episode begins with Haruhi's bikini-clad butt taking up almost the whole screen.
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: The whole series subverts and deconstructs this trope. Haruhi is a seemingly textbook example of the manic pixie dream girl, coming into Kyon's life, unknowingly introducing him to a group of supernatural and just making his life wackier and crazier than before. Only problem is that Haruhi is terrified of living a regular, unremarkable life, and is violently determined to make sure that doesn't happen. Along with the whole thing about her being God. She goes between relentlessly perky and hyper, vaguely sociopathic and having an existential crisis throughout the first arc (thus the Artifact Title 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya'.) Kyon finds her behaviour to be irritating and obnoxious and wishes she had left him alone to be an Ordinary High-School Student. The subversion comes in Kyon being the one to inspire Haruhi to begin the SOS club and draw the melancholy out of her by making her subconsciously realise living a regular life might not be so bad. Via a kiss. In a way, dull, snarky Kyon was Haruhi's MPDG.
Then played straight in the Big Damn Movie, where when presented with the choice between a world without Haruhi and one with, he does everything he can for the latter, realising that he really quite likes being a part of Haruhi's crazy life. This revelation is topped with tons of Ship Tease to boot. Despite this, Haruhi is clearly far more complex than your typical dream girl, so she still dodges the trope slightly.
Masquerade: On just about everybody's part.
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The end result of Wandering Shadow. Are the data lifeforms that inhabit animal hosts really ghosts, or yet more run-of-the-mill aliens? If so, does their Bizarre Alien Biology apply to humans, as well? In any case, Yuki's not telling.
Meaningful Background Event:
"Live Alive": Full of them in regards to Haruhi and the band ENOZ. When Kyon, Taniguchi and Kunikida are talking in the locker room at the beginning, you can see ENOZ arguing about performing at the festival and Haruhi approaching them about acting as a stand in for the singer. When they are standing in line at Mikuru's food stall, the two remaining members of ENOZ (Mizuki and Mai) can be seen running off into the distance. And when Kyon is talking to Taniguchi and Kunikida after they get out of the food stall, Haruhi and Yuki can be seen in their costumes with guitars strapped to their backs running off behind Kyon.
"Day of Sagittarius": As the SOS Brigade walks home together after accepting the challenge, the scene focuses on Kyon and Itsuki's talk. Just in front of them, Yuki is already reading the game's instruction manual (we learn later that she and Itsuki were the only ones to thoroughly study it). During the Brigade's Training Montage, every day ends with a shot of the members slumped at their laptops after another defeat, all except Yuki who is still typing away and getting faster and faster each time. She starts out doing hunt-and-peck on the first day, but by the end of the fifth day Kyon finally notices that her fingers are now flying across the keyboard.
Meaningful Name:
According to Wikipedia , Kyon's nickname might come from κύων (kyôn), Ancient Greek for "dog", from where the word "cynic" may come from. Another possibility: Haruhi in the novels loves the story of Tanabata, involving a romance between a man and a woman separated and only allowed to meet once a year; the Korean name for the man can be romanized as 'Kyonu'.
Yuki's name as written means "has hope", which arguably fits with her later Character Development. Written in another way, it can also mean "snow", leading to several snow motifs. The 8th novel suggests that "snow" meaning was why she chose this name for herself as a metaphor, because as the Entity is formless and unified, like a mass of water, or a cloud, she is individual, and material, like a snowflake originating from that water. Additionally, the kanji in her surname name can translate to "gate manager" (or "master", in that context), which makes sense since she's essentially managing a "gate" to the Data Overmind.
Another probably intentional one — 'Mikuru' written a certain way in kanji can mean 'future'.
Meaningless Meaningful Words: Played with in The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina when Itsuki and Yuki, to fill Haruhi's messed-up script, improvise a dialogue and manage to talk for a full minute without saying anything that makes the tiniest sense!
Meta Guy: Kyon, Genre Savvy Deadpan Snarker that he is.
Milking the Giant Cow: Koizumi has a bad case of this; he just can't stop gesticulating whenever he talks, especially when he's lecturing Kyon on something.
Mind Screw: If you haven't been spoiled, watching the series from the start in its original out-of-chronological-order order, will mess you up.
Minimalistic Cover Art: The paperback editions of the English-language novels.
Miracle Rally: Played with in "The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya". Yuki cheats and modifies the attribute data of the baseball bat the team uses ('Homing Mode'). Kyon asks her to disable it afterwards, and the team go right back to sucking again... but they still win. And then forfeit, because Haruhi's had her fun. And then Kyon sells the other team the bat.
Mistaken Message: Ryoko's anonymous note on Kyon's Inside Shoes locker.
Mood Dissonance: The episode "Sometime in the Rain" has Haruhi share an umbrella with Kyon, and act like she cares about him, as they walk home together. There's a sense of them almost being friends, honestly. It's a noticeable difference from where Haruhi was at the beginning of the show, and definite character development. It was a little hard to take at face value though, considering that Haruhi had spent the day forcibly dressing Mikuru up and filming her, after sending Kyon off on an errand so he wouldn't interfere. Of course, her sending Kyon off so he wouldn't interfere counts as character development. She never worried about what anyone thought early on.
Mood Whiplash:
Ryoko's conversation alone with Kyon at first sounds like a heartfelt confession of love... then it starts making no sense ("the higher-ups are all sticks-in-the-muds who can't keep up with change, but I can't afford such complacency out in the field")... and then she says she's going to kill him, pulls out a big Rambo knife and lunges at him.
The movie ends on a rather light note—basically, Kyon states he chose this world. It's way more fun here. I have to go back in time and make sure I don't screw up foiling Nagato's plan at some point, but whatever, time for some Christmas hot pot. Cut to the credits and an a capella song called "Gentle Oblivion". Especially sad when you realize that it's a character song for Yuki.
Watch the cheery first episode of "Endless Eight," then watch the following ones.
Kyon's confrontation with Haruhi in Sigh leads to a sudden change of the mood. And to a dark, overcast, rainy, musicless day.
Morality Chain: The only reason Haruhi got any nicer is Kyon. And we don't wanna know what would happen if he should die. But Ryoko Asakura does.
More than Three Dimensions: Mikuru Asahina describes Time Travel as moving in a four-dimensional direction across a series of stills, as in an animation.
The Movie: An adaptation of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, to be exact.
Big Damn Movie: Naturally, since Disappearance is one of the more epic stories in the series.
Mr. Exposition: The show hangs a lampshade on this with Kyon constantly telling Itsuki, aka Mr Exposition, that he talks too much.
Mr. Imagination: Haruhi, naturally.
Mr. Vice Guy: Haruhi starts out as a jerkass Genki Girl and eventually becomes, well, a selfish jerk who means well and values her friends more than making the world exciting.
Ms. Fanservice: Mikuru again.
Mugged for Disguise: Invoked by Kyon during Disappearance (when Koizumi and Haruhi, who attend a different school in the altered reality, try to sneak into North High), but averted with them using Kyon's P.E. uniforms instead. Though Haruhi naturally thinks this trope is an equally good idea.
Mundane Made Awesome:
Kyon using Hot Blood to plan a day of homework and BREAK THE TIME LOOP in the anime version of "Endless Eight". It even had epic music to accompany it, and was preceded by the coolest and most dramatic "Oh, Crap! Haruhi's about to leave the restaurant" sequence of all eight episodes (or maybe a bad acid-trip). This was a moment when the viewers were celebrating too.
That five minute scene that climaxes in Kyon stomping on himself with his decision to go back to the world he knew in the Disappearance movie.
Murder the Hypotenuse: Ryoko's motivation for stabbing Kyon in Disappearance. Probably also a secondary motivation when she initially tries to kill him in Melancholy.
Musical Pastiche: Soundtrack during the baseball match pastiches the theme to Touch).
Myself My Avatar: The Data Overmind/Heavenly Canopy Domain "Agents".
Mysterious Backer: The Data Entity.
Necktie Leash: Mostly just in the anime. In the novels she leads him arm in arm. It shows character development for Haruhi when she stops dragging Kyon along by the tie and takes him by the hand instead.
Neutral Female: Mikuru. She even knows that she won't be a combatant or competent.
Newspaper Dating: Kyon in the novel of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot:
Episode 00 "The Adventures Of Mikuru Asahina", Mikuru's and Yuki's characters.
Kyon's suggestion for the cultural festival: "Let's combine everything and do a fortune-telling survey play cafe."
Next Sunday A.D.: It's implied in Disappearance that Kyon's freshman year in high school started in April, 2010. (He mentions that the date, July 7, is a lucky date — 7/7/07.)
No Communities Were Harmed:
The series' setting is described/rendered in sufficient detail (in both novels and anime) to be readily identifiable as the author's hometown of Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture , but it's never referred to by name in-series. Most likely, unwillingness to come out and say it is to avoid invoking a different trope based on the dialect of the region. Nevertheless, there are a few dead giveaways in the series, such as scenes directly in front of (a circa-2006) Osaka Station in "Melancholy III" and an establishing shot in "Endless Eight" that is unmistakably the waterfront of Kobe. (Perhaps the series' attention to detail is also its own undoing.)
The American DVD release of Season 2 includes extra videos where some of the crew walk around the town visiting the real-life locations that served as the models for many of the scenes.
No Name Given:
Kyon, the Computer Club President, and Kyon's sister — Kyon bemoans his stupid nickname but never says his real name (his school introduction is cut off). Even his sister's image song had to be titled as "Kyon no Imouto-san" or "Kyon's Little Sister". When someone is about to say the president's name, it is covered up by a sudden cut-off to a random cat meowing.
The novels tease us by saying that Kyon's actual name is "hard to spell" and "regal sounding."
At the beginning of "Melancholy", the introductions were alternately boy/girl, with boys and girls each being alphabetically ordered. After Kyon, Haruhi Suzumiya introduces herself, then Taniguchi. So Kyon's name likely starts with "Su," "Se," "So," or "Ta." Among the resulting possibilities are "Nagaru Tanigawa" and "John Smith" (Jon Sumisu), although in Disappearance Kyon makes it explicit that John Smith is not his real name.
Haruhi introduces Asahina to Kyon, but then fails to introduce Kyon to Asahina, a fact that doesn't escape Kyon's attention. And a few days later, when Koizumi is introducing himself to the Kyon, Haruhi interrupts Kyon's self introduction with "That's Kyon!"
Non-Indicative First Episode: First episode, which parodies most of the Japanese Media Tropes and many others in The Catalogue.
Non Sequitur, *Thud*: Yuki's messages to Kyon at the beginning of book 10 suddenly become completely unintelligible before she passes out. Not Played for Laughs.

Noodle Incident: Only Kyon's "dream" is shown in Snow Mountain Syndrome, the other "dreams" sound interesting.
No Sense of Personal Space: Koizumi, to Kyon's constant annoyance and the fangirls' constant delight. Asakura does so too with Kyon, though this is less noticeable since she is only present in a few episodes. In both cases it is unclear whether they are aware of how uncomfortable Kyon is.
No Such Thing as Wizard Jesus: There are alien data creatures, life forms that are based around physical bodies, but their data can live without their silicon-based bodies. Wait! Doesn't it mean that maybe if humans are also like this, it could be proven that there is life after death for our non-physical part, call it data, mind or soul? The trope is averted, as Kyon does ask this question as soon as he can, and Nagato knows the answer but it is classified information
Not Actually the Ultimate Question: Haruhi asks Kyon what's the most important thing to have when making a movie. He answers a unique vision and the passion to bring it to life. The answer she was looking for was "a camera".
Not a Date:
Kyon and Mikuru. Aww.
If you're talking about Haruhi's insistence in III, there's an even bigger one in the later novels. Mikuru actually asks Kyon out at one point, but it's under orders, and all so Kyon can stop a kid from being hit by a truck.
In a subversion, Kyon flashes back to one of these in when Haruhi forces him write a romantic story for the required Literature Club publication. His sisters friend Miyoko wanted to see a scary movie that she was to young for. Since she's Younger Than They Look (Kyon mentions she looks to be closer to his age than his sisters), she asks her best friends brother to take her; since it looks like a date, no one will question them.
Not So Stoic: There's definite traces of actual emotion under Yuki Nagato's Extreme Doormat Emotionless Girl facade. She's still pretty hard to read though.
Not What It Looks Like:
When Kyon picks up Nagato from the floor and Taniguchi comes in.
Likewise the time Haruhi wrestles Kyon to the ground, sits on top of him, and tries to strip off his jacket. She just wants the paper in his pocket, but the scene is enough to traumatize Mikuru when she walks in.
